When Nightmare's Walk

[Esiphas]

Paladin put one hand on Midnights wrist, gently but firm. His eyes are full of sympathy. then he turns to Ayowin. ''Magnus's body is gone. His mind may yet live on. Now stop tormenting her.'' His eyes warned of his anger at her.

Jack nudged Neji. ''Ayowins taunting midnight again. Over there.'' He points at Ayowin and Midnigh, and Paladin, trying to comfort Midnigh and keep Ayowin at bay. ''With no offence intended, shesure knows how to get under peoples skin.'' He looks a neji.''You want to intervene, or shall I?''

[Tyamius, Shadow Lord]

At hearing this Ty looked up, "Damn...Neji we have to do something about her constantly picking at people. Mathius already doesn't like her and several of the other Teachers think she may go dark on us." He said slithering his shadows towards her. "I'm gonna put her in the holding cell until you talk to her." He grabs her feet and wraps the rest of her body dropping her through a portal into a High Security Cell.

Mathius watched the display but continued to dance with Constance. He couldn't stop from staring into her deep blue eyes. He smiled and when he thought no one was watching leaned in to kiss her.

Neji looks up at his daughter there is pride in his eyes but also sorrow. As she disappears into the shadows he turns suddenly at Ty's words, "She will not go dark. Such gossip is just that." he folds his hands together thoughtfully, "She is many things... but evil is not one." he looks down at his drink thoughtfully, "Her mother was much the same way... but unlike her mother Ayowin never had anyone to reign her in." he glares forward hard, "And her attitude makes for an excellent close combat teacher, I don't want to here it. Her students are the finest fighters."he grins slightly, "That won't hold her Ty... she'll be out in the amount of time it takes her to remember the codes. And even the high powered weapons watching that area will never stand a chance hitting her." he looks downwards again, "Look we don't talk... really at all." he stands to dance with Solara who sensing his discomfort gives him an easy out.

Solara looks at her new husband*you need to leave this subject alone... Neji is very guarded about their issues. And saying what you did... how would you feel if someone said those things about Matty... which they easily could.* she glances over at their son in time to see Constance's lips meet his and she inwardly groans *Oh no... I am too young for him to be near her... and he is too old for that girl... she just got saved by Neji last week...*

Midnight for her part seems to have quieted and cooled quickly although the table has marks where she scratched it. "That woman needs help." she says simply and then glancing at Paladin spoke softly, "I have never danced.. show me how." he senses no command, just lack of a vocabularly not made up of command words.

Constance smiles into the kiss hugging him with pleasure written all over her face. Which is quickly interrupted five minutes later by Ayowin striding back into the room her hair ruffled a little and her gown tied in a knot at her hip. A burn is across the side of her face and she appears unpleasantly grim. She moves forward sitting besides her father again and shakily accepting another drink as she glances at Ty giving him a I wouldn't come back from your honeymoon look before returning to destroying her sense with drink.

Paladin smiles and takes Midnights hand, leading her to the dance floor. He begins to dance, slowly, letting Minight get the feel of it. He was a good dancer, though he didn't reveal that the only reason he was is because his mind was sifting dancing knowledge from the others. They wouldn't be affected, he didn't see any harm in it.

Midnight despite having never danced proved rather skilled. Paladin new she had obtained mental prowess from Banshee although most assumed all trace powers from him were gone... now however he was left to question whether dexterity or mental powers were keeping her from stepping on him. No matter which she smiled at him clearly enjoying the movement and skill the activity required. It was a strange smile, lacking all the usual ferocity and terrible promise. It would have appeared almost pleasured if it weren't for the dark circles around her eyes... apparently sleep had been a foreign idea to her for a long enough for it to physically show.

[Tyamius, Shadow Lord]

As the wedding came to a close and all left, Ty and Solara slipped away. Mathius had disappeared with Constance and all was quiet. Ty and Solara went back to the mortal world, keeping powers in check and lived a somewhat normal life. As the years past Ty grew older and Solara stayed young, a young daughter was born, (Insert Name here Jaka I know your reading this and you wanted it.), but on the eave of their 16th year in the Imperium a grizzly event took place.

As she returned home she saw the door open, windows shattered and several large men sprawled out on the floor in pools of blood. Foot prints leading from the house in the blood and Ty pinned to the floor with two blades. One white and one black, his shadows no longer moved as Solara cried and her cry was heard by Jack and Mathius. Mathius picked up his young sister, now a year old and swept her to his uncle in the crosser realm. When he reappeared his twin blades were at the ready as he stormed from the house.

This ends the Story of Tyamius Roxan, Keeper of Shadows. I wanted a dramatic exit and a way to continue the story of his son, Mathius. I shall post a new RP soon but I want ideas from you my fellow hive RP'ers

[mina]

It is said after the son and daughter of the eternally young angel departed she cried a pool of black shadows at the spot which spread and pulled the deserted Imperium world in to recesses of the cosmos where angels and daemons alike would be smart to fear. They say the world was overcome by the pool of shadows which twisted and writhed all across the world changing not only Solara but the world itself. Where once light and merryment rained supreme now shadow and depression were lord and master.
The young woman had known the moment was coming but now that it was here she found her love had blossomed and rooted so firmly she could not bare the thought of life without him. For many long years she wept, no family or friends, or long waiting lovers could find the place of shadows. (Though they searched for it.) Her tears of shadow were so powerful they continued to consume and recreate the world. The gods are rarely merciful but Solara cried so loud and painfully for her lost love that it touched the ears of Isha. Isha from her cage reached out to the lost warpling who was ravaged by the conflict of love.
In an act of supreme mercy she took Solara's Soul in hand and wripped it apart. On oneside she withdrew the quiet damaged girl. The one who had loved Ty. In the other hand she held the light and the merryment that had brought light to Jack. She knew that it was not her place to meddle but the other gods were growing angry at the noise as was she. So she smiled at Solara and the godess murmered words of deep power, "Your soul is two and always has been. For three lost lovers would be a tragedy and so it shall be. That 26 of every 52 you live shall be with Jack. You will be the light that loves and guides. But when the day sets on the 26th week like a stone you shall become. You soul shall flee your body like a animal from a hunter. Your body it will remain a doll within this world around you. Within the cold embrace of shadows it shall remain while you live peacefully in death with Ty until the day begins anew. When the sun has risen your body will be released from the darks grasp to return to Jack." Upon murmering this Isha left the weeping Solara who stood and buried her husband where her garden had overgrown into wild dark plants that stank of death and destruction. The house was ruined, in fact it was gone all that remained was the box of which he had spoken. Slowly Solara opened it and peeked within. Then suddenly she shut it tight and left it upon the grave. Songs are sung of what could make the queen of angels turn away. None can truly say.

Solara did return to the crossers a changed woman, free of her burdens and unaware of the curse Isha had placed. The last remnant of Ty was a girl babe long before named Majora. When Solara had not returned to them a fierce fight between Jack and Uncle had ensued. Uncle had eventually won the right to the baby in part because Neji felt Jack was to stricken by the disappearance of Solara to give good care. The one day she returned. It was a day of great joy. When asked where she had been for five years she said in mourning. That was all there was to say.
Neji for his part had done his best to keep things together at the sudden loss. It had been hard to hault Matty leaving, or to keep tabs on his little sister. Namine was already showing her obvious parentage. He visited when he could to see her. She was bright and lovely. Her long white blond hair and blue eyes much like what he imagined Kes would be. But she was not strong or healthy. She was frail and her health kept them all worried. Fevers and illness were normal for her and this kept her in bed. But the mind of the girl was excellent. She could read already in many languages, write, draw, and play difficult musical instruments. She always looked so sick despite this and he did his very best to make her smile when he visited.
Ayowin for her small part had taught the students for five years. Issues with the difficult teacher were common place for students and other faculty. Eventually, despite his wishes Neji was forced to ask her to retire. The fight that ensued was very scary but the daughter Angel left without destroying much. This fact has darkned Neji's mood considerably.
Midnight for her part was not getting better. Despite the kindness and gentleness of Paladin she often lashed out at people without warning. After a time she no longer spoke of Magnus. When asked if he was still there she replied bluntly no don't be stupid. Eventually Ayowin had returned and despite Paladin's clear wishes she was removed from the warp.
Long weeks passed with no word from Ayowin on Midnight. Until one late night Ayowin returned an unconcious Midnight in tow. Once Midnight was comfortable in the attic loft the three had spoken. Ayowin dropped the report by the human doctors on the table and explained it with rapid ability, "They said her synaptic pathways were damaged by some form of torture the definetly included an overload of sensation." when that hadn't made much sense she had made it even simpler, "When they tortured her in the Restalphia they overloaded the emotional centers of her brain. When we get angry or expierience any other strong emotion we can control it. When she wants to kill someone, she acts on it with nothing to stop her. They also said from observation she is aware of this fact and used self injury to try and stop herself from harming the things they left out to annoy her. They go on to state that she failed everytime and ultimately destroyed or killed whatever it was. No remorse was felt, which leads them to conclude that her moral centers are damaged." after turning several pages she finished, "and to top it off she is suffering from post traumatic stress." with a wry grin and a flick of the wrist she sent a jar of pills flying at Paladin, "keep her mind blurry with this is their advice." then like that she left.

Jack had embraced Solara upon her return, and held her tight for days on end. After the 26 weeks were up, he would lay her body on a be in his tower, the west tower, or as jack called it, the tower of echoes, as any sound made at the bottom could be heard from the top. He would then spend his days caring for her, cleaning her body and brushing her hair, whenever it was required, only venturing out for food or if the lack of social interaction was driving him mad. He wasn't truly troubled by the events, having quickly realised how Solara's curse worked. So jack became the Echo-keeper, and passed all his teaching dutys to a Newly graduated warpcrosser who showed remarkable promise, named Garrus.

Korvus brought Namine to visit whenever possible, and often he would bring stories for the young warpcrossers, about heros the mortal world had been seeing. Often he would bring artefacts of mysterious origins, and sometimes he would even bring games, which the children could play to win his strange artefacts. He usually left Namine at home however, because days she was well enough to walk were rare indeed. He brought her every birthday she had, even if it menat dragging her bed himself, determined to let his brother see her on her special day.

Paladin had the sadest ending, if it can be called an ending, for he still acts in the warpcrossers. He taught, he fought, he even nursed a few nightmare striken warpcrssers back to health, though none could compare to midnights. Paladin kept her mind shrouded, as per the doctors advices, and cared for her when she couldn't control herself. So paladin went on, acting as a brother to Midnight, rather than what he had always hoped for. She was the only girl he ever truly loved, the only person he truly connected with, stolen from him at her moment of salvation by horrors left behind from the dark life she once led.

(Perhaps you are a bit premature as I am aware Jward still wishes to post and your display of Midnight's abilities is incorrect. She is not mad, she cannot control her emotions and is for lack of a better term immoral. If she feels lust she will act on it, if she thinks to murder she will act on it. If me and you feel those emotions we are able to generally speaking stop our deeper wishes from becoming reality. This does not make her unable to function it just makes her VERY unstable. I entirely intended a second post to the state of midnight because she is not a character that will remain in a daze for life.(especially considering she is immortal.) )

<Also I feel at least one child should come of Jack/Solara. And so it shall >

[Esiphas]

(removed it and edited Paladins bit. Happy? )

[Tyamius, Shadow Lord]

As night fell on the 28th week a man appeared in the town circle, Solara had been in her sleep now for two weeks and Uncle alone was caring for Majora. People stared and whispered, those who were still out at this hour that is, as the man moved towards the house Uncle had taken as his own. A swift knock and silent hello's later the man left again a small child lying her head on his shoulder as he walked back to the home of Constance. He reached inside his cloak and pulled out a single note leaving it on her doorstep as he vanished once more.

Mathius took the child for teaching and caring for, his mother would not notice till they were long gone and Jack had been no where around to oppose. The years past as Mathius taught the girl the ways of both his father and his mother. Vengeance is all that fueled him as he waited for the day to slay the one who got away at his fathers murder.

NOW this can conclude When Nightmare's Walk unless anyone would like to make a final post. I have to get ready, I have Ard Boyz next weekend and my Salamander's have been neglected the past week and a half when I should be playing scenarios and testing my army list comprising of 30 termies and 30 tact marines.

[mina]

(I shall remain silent now. Twas a good roleplay. And Good news I may be able to return to play for a wee bit as my second job is concluded until the end of summer. So hopefully I can join new rps.)

[Tyamius, Shadow Lord]

I plan on starting a new one soon but I think I may wait till after Ard Boyz cause my concentration should be on kicking Eldar, Necron, Khorne, Ork, BA, DE, Tzeentch, DA, and Gray Knight ASS!

[Esiphas]

Grey Knights? You think you can triumph against the Finest Battle Brothers the Emperor as ever created, th purest souls alive, coupled with the might of the God Emperors most Holy Inquisition?

I wish you luck, Jward. You will most certainly Need it. And If you should triumph of the Knights, let me know where your opponens live, so i ay Issue Exterminatus upon his unworthy soul (and the rest of his house)

[Tyamius, Shadow Lord]

I found out he will not be bringing Knights to the tournament, instead he will bring Black Templar and I shall rain holy fire down upon all the armies!
