Time of Darkness

- Blood Rose Field -

Viahl thought about trying to dofge it, but was hit before that was possible.
Arcan fired one of his annoying spirit-thingies at Mire, half-hoping to get his attention.

- Blood Rose Field -

Mire hissed as the spell flew into Mire. Mire didn't move, killing still. A shadow Mire formed from Mire and detached itself from the Real Mire. The Black Mire summoned two shadow balls and threw them at Arcan. Mire's arm also erupted out of the ground and tried getting hold of Arcan, but missed and the arm slided back into the gaps.

- Blood Rose Field -

"Would it not be more simple to kill me?" Arcan asked, throwing himself sideways and happenening to stand on Narsara.

- Blood Rose Field -

"Motives, Talerian has, many motives, and your death will bring the failure of his best planned one... but first..." Mire cackled in Naralda's voice.
Mire's arm flew out of the ground and Mire began to float, moving into a rock, the rock glowed purple and it floated, then threw itself at Arcan, Mire, using its ghost invisibility, entered a tree and threw this at Viahl.

- Blood Rose Field -

Arcan stared at the rock for a moment. For some reason, Narsara decided to shove him out of it's way.
A thin jet of flame hit the tree, although it didn't stop it.

- Blood Rose Field -

Mire threw five shadow balls at Narsara, then flew into another tree.
The tree floated then flung itself towards Arcan. Mire then set fire to the Shadow-Mire.
The Shadow Mire rushed towards Arcan. Before it reached him, the shadows melted away into the ground...

- Blood Rose Field -

Narsara was hit by two of the thing s and fell.
Arcan was hit by the tree, and was aware of a sudden pain down his right side.
He couldn't see now, so he guessed he either wasn't awake, or dead, or had just lost alot of energy for no apparent reason.

- Blood Rose Field -

Mire cackled before a blue spell flew into Mire's Form.
Mire reformed quickly and threw another five shadow balls at Viahl before moving towards the source of the other spell.
The ground where Mire had been hit had been frozen over.
Mire thought against going after the source of the spell and moved over to Viahl, his 'arm' slided around Viahl's neck and Mire lifted him of the ground.
"Your death ssssssshalll mark the beginning of a grander plan..." Mire hissed, turning Viahl intill Mire heard a satisfying crack. It dropped his body and disappeared into the ground.

- Blood Rose Field -

Arcan remained in a stunned silence for a few moments, then squealed as Narsara grabbed the few robes near his neck and glared at him, emmiting a hardly-pleasent screech, then leaned on him heavily.
He blindly put his arms, very slowly, around her, having decided against saying anything.
Narsara attempted to do the opposide, but her words came out as what Arcan could only make out as sobbing.
Arcan could do little but wait for the inevitable; that being either... he'd kill himself, kill everyone he could see, go insane or just die.
Or he'd start liking Narsara, although that wasn't on his mind.
The only thing both of them could feel at that moment was a great dead of pain. Impossible amounts of pain.

- Blood rose Field -
Naralda sighed, then rose.
"I guess I couldn't have, but I should go, Arcan will not be happy..." She said.
"Still, he shouldn't know how to kill Mire, even if it is almost impossible." Nara rose then walked eastwards away from them. Nara looked over her shoulder then threw a frostspell.

- Blood Rose Field -

After a while Arcan made his eyes return.
"Mire... What have... you done?" He asked himself very quietly.
Just as coming into contact with her was becoming almost bearable, Narsara removed herself.
"Did that happen?" She asked him. She might have almost belived it hadn't. She could make people belive alot of things.
He didn't answer her, just turned away and looked at the sky.
He stayed that way for some time before he turned back to her, with a darkness in his expression.
"Tell me what to do. You always told me what to do." He said weakly.

- Blood Rose Field -

Naralda walked on slowly.
A darker version formed beside her.
"Mire, maybe you should go before I am tempted to find that crystal again"
"You mean this?" Her own voice, just sweeter, said back, the dark-Nara held a crystal.
The Shadow Nara disappeared.

- Blood Rose Field -

All this gave Larhan a short time to think.
They could have done more to svae him, so what had got in the way?
She pushed the thoughts away, not sure what her emotions were doing.

Narsara didn't reply to Arcan, instead sat on a log and stared at him vacantly.

- Wraitheria -

Naralda, annoyed at Mire, walked past some trees where the land gradually became a marsh.
"Wraitheria, now, if I remember, it should be in... shademoon Woods. Which is past this marsh" She told herself.
She walked slowly through the marshes reeds intill she heard something move.

- Blood Rose Field -

Arcan closed his 'eyes'.
"I... don't mean to push you here, but-"
"Hold your foot-long tounge!" Narsara snapped at him.
Arcan made a slow hissing noise and hung his head.

- Blood Rose Field -

On a small hill above Arcan and Narsara, Mire's slime formed into a perfect Imitation of Nara.
The Shadow-Nara drew a sword into her right hand which was strange, as she was lefted handed.
"So, you still stay there, I assume you will not chase after Mire?" She said.

- Blood Rose Field -

Arcan looked up at it slowly, without saying anything.
"What are you doing here?" Narsara growled.

- Blood Rose Field -

The Shadow-Naralda smiled evilly.
She held out her hand and four strange glowing balls flew out from it and flew into the ground.
Shadow-Naralda jumped higher and four Undead burst out of the ground, sending dirt flying everywhere.

The Four Undead ran at Narsara and Arcan.
"I have seen where murderers like you go. It is a dark, desolate place." Hissed Shadow-Nara, starting to turn a blackish colour and her eyes glowing red. One of the undead groaned as it drew closer to Arcan and Narsara.

- Blood Rose Field -

"Uh..." Arcan looked at himself. He didn't actually have any armor, he was confused, and he wasn't in the mood to fight.
Still, he didn't have that mush of a choice.
Narsara got out her weapon, hissing words Arcan couldn't understand.

- Blood Rose Field -
"The people you see, all the people you talk to, they are not real. You are alone in this world. Terribly alone." Shadow-Naralda hissed.
The Undead drew closer, then first one reached Arcan and Narsara and flung its large axe at them, its arm fell off during the swing and the axe flew into a tree, the ball of light exited the body and disappeared back into Shadow-Mire's Hand. The second Undead got near then and swung its sword at Narsara.

- Blood Rose Field -

Narsara spat at it and attemped to embed her own in it's face, while Arcan said to the 'shadow-Naralda';
"And you are nothing, nothing but lies." He held a glowing orb in his hand, backing away and almost loosing his balance on the log.

- Blood Rose Field -

"What would your mother and father say if they could see you now? Do you think they would be proud? Do you think they would recognize the Monster you've become?" Naralda continued, flinching at the orbs light.

The undead was hit directly and the head fell off, then Undead's body shook then fell apart, the third on reached Arcan and Swung its sword at him.

"Why do you think you continue to cheat death? Not even Ravum wants you."

- Blood Rose Field -

Arcan shook his head.
"Do you know my parents?" He asked from a new position of having fallen over backwards, now looking up at the undead from the other side of the log.
"They despise me. You cannot hurt me more."

- Blood Rose Field -

"Naralda still believes the death of Nntakar Icaer Ikata is your fault at the battle for your fortress. She will betray you in revenge."

Shadow Nara was tired of taunting them and recalled the undead. They broke apart and the spirits flew back into her hand. She jumped down and branished her sword in her right hand, the dark, glowing red eyes examining Arcan and Narsara.

"Enough of these games..." She flung one of Mires spells at Arcan.

- Blood Rose Field -

Arcan felt a spike of pain, then lost his sight.
He tried to crawl backwards, but something caught his foot and would not allow it.
"'I will not stop until they are dead... I will not stop until they have suffered and I am...' Until I was nothing?" Arcan curled up slightly.

- Blood Rose Field -

Shadow-Nara cackled evilly.
"Now... now... soon... soon" She threw her dark sword at Narsara.
Shadow-Nara transformed into Mire before disappearing into the air.
"Fools, I shall finish you all eventually"
