GodFall : Blood ; Tag-Griffin

[Omega]

Omega leaned up against the large archway that marked the begining of the path that snaked up the mountains. The path was worn and scattered with debris of falling rocks plus the snow capped areas of the path was not visible as it had been covered with the cold, white water. All this had not been well kept by those that travel them most, the shapeshifter nomads. The arch on the other hand was mysteriously well kept, probably due to some kind of wizard magic. The rocks that made it were smooth and the writing along it was still readable if anyone knew the language. It was an old language long since dead but there are legendsof what it said. The closest one is most likely that it talks about connecting the two sides of the mountain range and most likely what they where in ancient times.

Sighing Kronos looked south towards the Siwyn Forest and part of Tialya. He was waiting for Griffin for whom he had sent Alephia to retrieve. The mountains were a dangerous place for anyone to venture and to do it alone was concidered suicide for those unfamiliar to the path. That was why he needed Griffin. Griffin was a shapeshifter and if he remembered correctly he had spoken of traveling this path a few times when Omega had been teaching him how to use a Katana. If this was true then Griffin would be a perfect guide on the treacherous path.

Griffin was a bit surprised when Alephia appeared suddenly but understould it after she explained. He told Kana to stay at the Keep and to look after Adonia, it didnt hurt to be careful, before geting onto Alephia and traveling to where Omega was. He shuddered slightly before getting off of Alephia and turning into his wolf form, much warmer now. He still didnt like it but Adonia help him get over it slightly. 'Hello Omega sensai. Ive heard from Alephia that you think there is a Godfall weapon here. Ill lead you there, no promises that it will accualy be there.' He then started walking up the path towards what was considered a shrine to Involete, said to contain the second weapon of the god of war and peace, a strange sword held in a fountain of boiling blood.

[Omega]

"Thank you, Griff." He smiled at the wolf. "And I know that it may or may not be there. Just going on a lead is well enough." Which was completely true as the GodFall are a strange group of weapons. They could be anywhere and this one was as good if not better than any lead he had yet. "Alephia go back to Amara's until I call upon you alright?" The Pegasus listened and obeyed without question. She wanted to see this new weapon but it was to dangerous for her to travel up the mountains with the other two. The quick changes of temperature where dangerous even to flying animals. When she took flight Kronos followed suite behind Griffin up the path.

On their way to the shrie Griffin though about Amara. He woundered how she was doing. 'So Omega, how is Amara these days? I havent heard much about her. At this point I wouldnt be surprised that she had a child of yours in the makeing. You two realy go together, almost imposibly well.' He smiled, knowing Omega's reaction would be a bit funny. 'Im jokeing about the child part, take your time...Im starting to sound like my father....Thats not a pleasent thought.' He shook slightly before they arrived at the shrine. 'This is a bit of a sacred place, outsiders havent seen this place alot, I wouldnt show you this if I didnt trust you.'

[Omega]

Griffin's comment about the possibility of Amara with a child did partially make him fluster. He hadn't really thought of it ending up like that yet. But before he blew to protect himelf the shapeshifter remarked that he was joking. He just smiled weakly in remark to his comments though. He and Amara had been together for a while, more than enough time for him to 'take your time' sort of deal. When they started getting closer to the shrine and the air colder and less oxygen Griffin spoke again. "I understand Griff. It is one of your people's religous places after all.....the temple of Involete." He whispered to himself as he looked upon it. It was mildly impressive in his standards but wholefully a feat of some degree. "How many times have you been here?"

[Griffin]

When he heard Omega calling the shrine infront of them a temple he glared at him and a low growl emerged out of his throat. 'Its not just a temple Omega, it holds what we call the second arm of Ivolete, a sword held in a fountan of blood. It is a sacred, no, a holy object. This place is also the tomb of the last true ruler of the shapeshifters before we separeted into tribes.' He said that with a bit of hurt pride, his father kept on saying that they were related to that mythical last ruler but it was so long ago it was hard to separate myth from realility. 'Ive been here...' He counted in his head for a moment before looking at Omega. 'Forteen times, fifthteen counting this one. I have never been inside though. Only the prest that was here could go in. He died in the plague years ago. I dont know what is inside.'

[Omega]

"By no means did I try to offend your beliefs through calling it a temple." Omega frowned. To his people that is exactly what they refered to as a temple. A place of some kind of worship involving holy or sacred artifacts. But that didn't matter much as elementalist looked at the world more in a scientific view than religious. However things like the GodFall seem to apear and can baffle even the best of them.

The tomb part got his attention back on track -- as he was already fairly sure by the fountain of blood that the weapon was here -- the last ruler of the shapeshifters must have owned the weapon. The people must have seen it as a symbol for Involete and put to it a shrine to their god and the man that owned the weapon last. "And fourteen times is a lot of times to visit to just not enter." The preist must have known or thought that some one would come to try and take something from the temple. Though it could have just been another of their beliefs. "Well, let's see what is inside....There isn't anything special that has to be done before hand is there?"

[Griffin]

'The word for it is hard to say in any toung except our own, the closest translation that I can give you is this. Irfan illuminatio tenebrae. Knowning light and darkness. Dont try to understand my religion, youll drive yourself insane in a moment. And usualy its just on the winter rise and summer fall that we go here but other than the rituals then I dont think we need to. And the elders and their firstborns go in if they are older than 13, I was 12 when the plagues happened remember?' Griffin morphed out of his warm wolf form and shivvered before pushing open the worn stone door and waiting untill the rush of air that came out of it stopped before entering into the dark anthichamber. He then used his power and made afew flames search for the torches set in the walls and, one lit, revealed many murals of Involete at peace with a ocarina and a plow in hand as well as the god at war, a blood covered claymore and a strange looking sword in his other hand, the one housed in the temple.

(Wil post, sorry just no time right now...BandCamp))

[Griffin]

[Same here. I try to wake up early but...Alarm doesnt always work. 9AM-5PM...]

[Omega]

((9AM to 5PM? That would be awesome we have from 9AM to 9PM and our director loves to hold us over. And sorry for the terrible post, I'm trying.))

Omega mearly stayed quiet as Griffin went on his, as he saw it, religious rant. Truthfully he didn't want to even try understanding his religion anyways but he would put up with it for now. Not that he didn't have any interest in the religion at one point but for now he did not care for it except the possibility that a GodFall may be here. His thoughts would make him sound like an ass if he would have spoken aloud so he mearly nodded as Griffin turned back into his human form. Keeping silence he followed the boy into the shrine.

When they had entered Griffin had used his pyrokinisis ability to light a torch and the light shone on the paintings upon the walls. Most of them were simple and uninteresting in the respect of what they were searching for here. But ever so often there was a picture of Involete with a claymore and another weapon that was what could be perceived as a strangly hooked or bent knife like thing. "That's probably it." He said aloud in a gander and it was as well as anyother guesss as to what the weapon most likely was. "Yeah that's it." Looking almost an inch from the mural he could see in small engraving the odd markings that matched the marking of the GodFall.
