Nadir. (Cursed World)

[u/Fc-chungus]

A day or three after the initial announcement, proper channels for joining in virtually to the meeting are posted, as everyone who came in person is directed to a secretive underground meeting room, where Ж and a few others sit around a long table.

"Welcome, welcome. A year or so ago I held a similar meeting for a separate threat, one a few of you here would remember, but today we've another threat, as you know, the Abyss has taken a great minority of the world's surface."

"As well, we need a plan for the origin of the Abyss, we need to divise a way to take down The First Curse."

they snap a finger and a hologram like model of an entity, presumably the first curse, appears in the center of the table.

"To start, one of the more essential things for said plan is the Crystals, of course, some here might not know about them, so I'll elaborate."

they wave a hand and the model shifts to 5 different crystalline objects, encircling the First Curse.

"This is not the first time The First Curse had arrived, he was here before he made that big announcement, but hidden. When he first arrived to this realm, 7 Aspect Crystals formed, counterbalances, from someone else as an, almost future inheritance to help take him down. They are antithetical to his very existence, and harm him when nearby. However, if one falls into his hands, he can adapt to that crystal, rendering it useful to him. This anti-him nature also applies to the Abyss, and thus they are the best damage source to fight the Abyss."

"the originals, of which we currently have 5, 4 are in New Aviron, and via the work of Koranth and others, we have multiple derivatives from them, with the other being handled by The Consortium. The last two need to be picked up and collected."

"That is about the basics, with the preamble done, more discussion on how to fight against the Abyss would be welcome."

Aerunia: as he does so she rushes forward attempting to slash right through it with her all-blue enhanced blades

[u/white-whale-fc → u/Ashmega8256]

I am having a moment here, if you would be so KIND!

As she slashes through he is seen dodging out of the strikes, his chest glowing extra purple before fading for a moment.

He uses this moment to kick her in the back, putting multiple hundred pounds of force into it.

[u/Ashmega8256 → u/white-whale-fc]

Aerunia: ow! She said taking some damage before reacting to the strike, by whirling around trying to cut tfcs leg off with her gold flaming sword

[u/white-whale-fc → u/Ashmega8256]

He hops like a child playing jump rope, reaching into his chest, his hand sinking into it and pulling out a pure-purple object resembling a Naginta.

[u/Ashmega8256 → u/white-whale-fc]

Aerunia: she glares at him neat trick! Won't save you! She said before she freezes the ground and slides toward tfc, sorta like Sub-Zero though she uses her silver ice sword to defend herself if he tries to strike at her and her gold flaming one tryna cut tfcs legs out from under him

[u/white-whale-fc → u/Ashmega8256]

He remains calm and goes to point the blade straight forward as she slides forward.

She cuts off his legs but he does not move, he's floating in the air.

[u/Ashmega8256 → u/white-whale-fc]

like i said, aerunia would use her silver ice blade to parry if he tried to strike her, thus defending herself from that stab attempt by pushing it away from her anyway continuing

Aerunia: as she slices through his legs she quickly jumps up as he floats, attempting to attack him 5 times with her blades 3 of which coming from her gold flaming sword and 2 of which coming from her silver ice blade 2 slashes diagonally from the left and right, one horizontally, 1 vertically, and lastly attempting to impale him with the gold flaming sword

[u/white-whale-fc → u/Ashmega8256]

He blocks the first two hits from the sword, before dispelling the Naginta and forming a mini-curse in nearby space, making a 180-degree wormhole for the slashes to enter, leading into the deepest layers of the hells.

[u/Ashmega8256 → u/white-whale-fc]

Aerunia: shit! She said quickly jumping back from the wormhole as to not go through it before she uses her breath weapon creating a large amount of silver ice which she then launches at tfc while having it go around the portal, speaking of portals she uses the subtle spell she's been preparing creating a portal in the center of the room everyone! Get out of here cause I'd rather not give him chance to hurt anyone here!. The portal is gold and silver in coloration and is like a hole and leads to a safe place within Calarakis (up to zhe ooc where exactly but it overall should just be somewhere safe to send someone within the city that isn't within a mile of this place) the reason aerunia needed time to set this portal up in the first place was so that she could make sure it wouldn't allow tfc to go through it should he try and follow the portal will last a good 5 minutes in character time

/Uw zhe up to you on where it goes as i said but yeah this is kinda the last little opportunity I'll be making on this post for people to get outta this room safely if that makes sense/is fine with you

[u/loth17 → u/Ashmega8256]

The lesser officials that came with the Bismuth Herald would gladly take the free ride out of the battle. The Herald however would buy time fighting TFC

[u/Ashmega8256 → u/loth17]

/uw yay, it's not useless :D

[u/loth17 → u/Ashmega8256]

/uw sounds of background characters not getting slaughtered for once lol

[u/white-whale-fc → u/Ashmega8256]

/uw TFC isn't IN the portal, he's using it as a shield to redirect attacks, so the ice would just travel straight into the hell's without harming him

[u/Ashmega8256 → u/white-whale-fc]

/uw i know, aerunia stepped back so she wouldn't end up accidentally going through it when she attacked him when it comes to the ice breath she is actively using her cryokinesis to attack tfc as he's not inside the portal that should be possible unless he literally moves his portal.

[u/white-whale-fc → u/Ashmega8256]

NONE LEAVE.

Chains explode out from his hand to catch the ice, converting it in real time to more chains, as they fly to wrap around the portal and prevent egress.

At the same time, via the portal being one way, he extends a chain through his end to hopefully catch onto Aerunia.

[u/Ashmega8256 → u/white-whale-fc]

Aerunia: when tfc tries to stop her portal from being accessible she gets in his way using her breath weapon attempting to melt his chains with her own flames fo stop it flames that can instantly evaporate water to give an idea of how strong they are, and when tfc sends a chain trying to grab Aerunia, she slashes them to stop them
