Board Battles / Re: The Three-Edged Sword: Rallying to War
« Last post by Veldanya Venalla on January 15, 2026, 06:45:43 PM »Phaerys can feel incredible power flowing through him, almost overwhelming his suit before finally a large ebony beam is unleashed. As Blooddrinker arcs upwards and seems to almost disembowel Light, the dark beam slams into her back, seeming to almost melt part of her figure away. Shimmering silver blood splashes out over the platform as her disfigured body collapses to the ground. All three of the Darkness figures soon are cut down by the onslaught unleashed by the multiple Warbosses, ebony blood flowing over the platform and mingling with the silver blood like some sort of macabre display. A moment later however there is once more a surge of power from within the well as Darkness reforms once more. He wastes little time in creating 3 more copies of himself and launching attacks at the bellowing Warbosses even as he speaks towards Phaerys.
"Bravo warrior, valiant effort and certainly sensible thinking but you still miss the mark...isnt that right dear Sister?"
As if in response, Light reforms once more, her shield undamaged and her blade shimmering brilliantly.
"You are correct Brother."
She floats over to the well, reaching out a hand and it comes to rest on what seems to be like an invisible bubble over the well.
"You seem to misunderstand what my Brother said. WE are our only weakness and while there was a period where I would have revelled at plunging my hand down and proving I was right...I know now we both were wrong and so I no longer have such a desire."
She taps her fingers against the invisible surface before withdrawing her hand.
"You can continue to try with all your might to stop us but at this point we will continue to return time and again until you have nothing left."
"No...."
While faint, even with the sounds of battle between Gulgrim and Darkness, a voice is heard. Vee raises herself off the ground, leaning on an arm as she glares at Light.
"Oh...you decided to rejoin us I see. It matters..."
Light is cut off as Vee shifts up to one knee, her gaze never leaving the shining deity.
"I know the truth....about both of you. Understanding...is a three edged sword. Your side....their side...and the truth. The two of you battled for ages, so certain you were each in the right. Countless worlds suffered until you were locked away...and then you brought your argument...to my world. Billions paid the price for your actions. They held back for so long hoping the two of you would find the truth and you didnt. They however HAVE seen the truth and thus...it ends...now."
Vees eyes suddenly flash and seem to turn into pitch black orbs as she slams her hands down into the platform, the surface cracking as her hands seem to clench down into the ground. All of the Companions can detect a surge of power growing within the woman as her body seems to tremble and shake, her teeth clenched tightly together.
"What? You cant..."
Lights voice seems to momentarily waver as she beholds the sight. Power continues to grow within Vee and then the Companions can easily detect that the power is coming from elsewhere. From within the well in front of them and from a great distance behind them. It seems as if the woman is somehow drawing power from both wells. Vees body continues to tremble as power continues to whell up inside of her. Her mouth opens wide as she lets out a loud howl. The tone and pitch of the howl seems to almost alternate to those who hear it. Filled with rage and anger one moment before shifting into a cry of extreme pain and sadness before shifting back. Her howl seems to almost increase in volume as more power flows into her. Then suddenly ebony black wings seems to explode from her back, the feathers shimmering as trails of Light dart over the surface, similar trails now also swirling around the orbs that have replaced her eyes.
"No...you cant do this. You....cant!"
Light finally seems to shake herself from her stupor as she raises her blade high and moves to attack Vee. At the same time a voice pierces the minds of all the Companions.
"Companions, you must protect her! Do whatever you must to keep the siblings from harming her!"
None recognize the voice but they can easily sense great concern within it as they can also see a ghostly looking figure standing behind Vee, its hands clasped behind its back as it seems to watch over her.
