Xixas Averall emerged from the glistening tear in the sky that was the Seventh. He fell to the earth with the exact frame of time that he had left, covered in a glittering veil that dissolved with the rain that cascaded down.

His wounds had healed, a body that was scarred and ravaged turned beautiful once again. Xixas had sought and accomplished his goal, that had almost cost his life and that of many others millions of times within the span of three years.

Xixas had been missing from Ae'Ire for three years.

He slowly raised his arm, and released his Echo. It erupted from his body, a spreading nimbus of invisible power from the Seventh that would be felt for hundreds of miles into Dyseria, Bolitaria, and Concuclare. Xixas let the volcanic flow of power settle, before taking a seat within the Sarizate tavern.

To the citizens, they felt nothing. Only those of chosen soul and heart would feel his calling. He needed them all now.

Character: Zechs Renaurd.

Zechs sat in Xixas' rightful throne, his eyes reflecting the light emitting from the candles around him. Suddenly his body felt a strange sensation, looking around him, Zechs saw no sign of one's presence near him. "This feeling.."
     Zechs shot up from the throne and made his way to the entrance of the palace "It's Him." Zechs opened the doors and stopped at the edge of the palace steps, being greeted by the wind's gentle breeze, and stared out at the sky. "He has returned."

Character: Ayasha Keegan


The shadows were whispering. The whispers were surreal, unlike what corporeal called whispers. Images flowed in slow streams, not words. Colors and smells, all of the senses wrapped into one. Moving from shadow to shadow, I quickly made my way out of Dyseria and into Concuclare- before I felt it.
My entire being felt as though it were being crushed by an immense splurge of power, much like gravity. If I weren't already on the ground, I would be unable to move anywhere from it. There was one thing that rode that surge of force, one command that strode forward to the forefront of my mind.

Character: Monde

A voice was echoing in Monde's head. Or was it a voice? No, it was simply a sound, but Monde could make out a word. He leaned on a flat, yellow wall in his dining room, pondering on this noise. As he pondered, he began pacing around his wooden floor, hitting an oak dining-table whilst doing so.

After rubbing his leg, he simply sat in a chair, making no noise, trying to understand the noise. It sounded as if somebody were inviting him.....no, telling him to come.

"But were?"

Monde was etremely intruiged by this mysterious voice, but remained calm. What it meant, only time would tell.

Character: Celestia Sablehart


"Come....Come...COME!" 

Celestia woke up gasping and sweating from her sleep as she heard a strange alluring noise and a increasing pressure over her body almost suffocating her. As she set up in her bed she continued to hear the high pitched noise and obe distinct word, "Come." Celestia walked to the window the sky looked the same as always and yet felt wrong. She also noticed her connection to heaven was severed and her body was still being weighed down, "What's going on?" She would then get dressed and make her way outside the pressure has lifted slightly but that voice has gotten louder stronger. Leading her feet towards it.


Character: Dante Sparda

Dante was taking a walk around the kingdom of Bolitaria when he felt a amense pressure slame down on his body almost causing him to fail over, "What the hell is going on." As he regain his composer something inside his head continuously repeated it self. It was almost unrecognizable although it had an alluring sound vibe. Dante would then flush out the rest of his surroundings and concentrate on the noise. His assumptions where correct it was someone/thing calling hin and any other people able to hear his plea. But what or who was this and how could they call reach Bolitaria? He would make his way back to his majesty quarters. He knew from this power could cause a major problems.




Character: Alaude Klaus


Alaude was resting in his cottage on the outskirt of the Bolitarian Empire when he felt a strong pressure of energy wave over him. This energy caused him to awaken from his sleep and caused him a massive headache. Along with the headache was accompanied by a fuzzy noisy that almost mimicked a word all he could make out was..... "Come." He raised from his bed and walked over to his furnace which was filled with a blazing fire that heated the whole cottage his eyes peered into the flames with his mind racing, "What's going on?"

Character: Kureno Hatak

After sitting in his chambers, he felt a strange feeling, not exactly a words, or sounds, no, just a pressure. It wasn't as though a pressure in his body was not normal, with the Fire Guardian inside him, but this, this was different. He didn't want to just jump up and go, he was the leader of a kingdom, which meant he would have to leave someone in his steed, but he didn't know who. This was a challenge to face at a later time, at a much, much later time. Although, right now, he had to get to the bottom of this, and quickly if it was the Guardian acting differently. He left his chambers, and went to the keeps mage, whom he asked to check if the guardian was acting up.

The two looked, and the mage put his hand to Kurenos gut, and felt nothing abnormal, and gave him the okay to go back. Kureno was confused by this now, and once he reached his chambers, he began thinking, The hell was that earlier... if it wasn't the Guardian acting weirdly... this might requim my attention. It's away from the kingdom, which is what troubles me. Surely it isn't a trap! No, I should think on this a bit more, as if I act too quickly I may just die. No time to really think without worry, so, I guess I should just calm down. He got up, and went out onto a balcony, and looked out, knowing if he went, it might, just might be the last time he sees this sight.



Other Character: Gidori Vandor

As the vibration, the pressure, the noise set upon him, he shook it off for a moment. Yet, After awhile, it came back to him, that it left a lasting impression upon him. He got up, and went to the bar keep, as he was in a tavern, and ordered a drink, and paid for it. He took a drink, and thought about going for a few moments, knowing this full well could be a trap. Come on, This could be fun, it's not like it's a trap for me, I'm not that important!

Character: Athena Chroma

Athena was making her way to the town Oppidum to talk to some officials but as she did she met some weird fortune teller whom was nearby. The fortune teller looked a bit odd, wearing a red cloak which was adorned with red feathers. "Would you like to have your fortune told?" the mysterious figure asked. Athena was hesitant but wanted to know if she would find her parent's killers so she went with it. "Yes please." Athena muttered. The figure took her to a secluded area which was covered with some red fabric. She sat down on a chair and was facing the figure. "I would like you to put your right hand on your heart and your left on the crystal ball." demanded the figure. She put her hands in the right places and closed her eyes. As she closed her eyes she felt a sudden rush go through her body, almost like a call. "Athena, come with me and we'll find out what the future holds." she heard. She began to scream and quickly opened her eyes. "What was that.." she asked herself as everything was back to normal well almost everything. The figure was gone and so was it's work space. From there Athena ran to Oppidum.

Other Character: Erza Knightwalker-Scarlet

"Gotcha!" Erza yelled as she found an animal. She sunk her large fangs into the animal's neck and began sucking the soul out of it's body. The helpless creature yelped in pain as she did this but it had to be done. "I hate being a Vampire sometimes..." she whined. "You don't have to be one you know?" someone responded. "Who goes there?" Erza asked the trees, ready to change into her armor. "Your friend, your enemy..whatever you want." "Requip! Flame Empress Armor!" she yelled. Her body started to glow and in seconds she was in her Flame Empress Armor. Her sword was now on fire, she moved closer to the trees in hope of finding someone but she found no one. "Over here!" It yelled. Erza jumped to where the sound was closest to and hit the floor hard. "That was stupid of me..." she muttered. "Come with me and all your dreams will come true..like finding love or becoming human again." the shadows said. "How did you know that?!" she blared out. "I know all my dear and you will too if you come with me." "Fine..." Erza walked to the tree.

Exsolus Dei Mori


The cage was black; shaded with the outline of expected solitary confinement and precursor to darkness. The man inside craned his head upward was the ferocious amount of Echo invaded his senses, shattering his focus.

Exsolus shrugged off the chains expected to keep him bound, their black light fading as they lost power. He stood from the chamber, and peeled his lips into an unsightly grin.


"I'll be coming..."

Character: Sumaru Amaya

Sumaru was sitting down in the dark surrounded by shadows his eyes closed. A loud echo boomed through his room saying "Come..." He looked up opening his eyes and said "I'm coming..." He stood up and exited the shadows making his way to the origin of the voice.

character Effigia Crepusculum

The young wonderer who had stopped in a town to rest, felt himself suddenly compelled with a desire a calling of sorts as he can hear a voice "come..." this calling felt a level of familiarity something that seemed to spark a memory that just couldn't be reached. Effigia needs no other invitation as he  stands following the voice o his next destination

Character: Inmento

Inmento had been doing nothing besides sitting inside his room on his bed during the peaceful day he'd been having today when all of a sudden he felt something. "This is new," Inmento told himself as he unsheathed his sword and he got off of the bed. "I am being called," he mumbled softly. He had always been yearning for a fight and he hoped this time he would have a chance to finally fight something other than the times that he's helping with the training of the new army recruits.

Character: Guldfaxe (and Fallhöfnir, an NPC)

Guldfaxe was sharpening his lance with a recently-hunted wild boar's horn, while Fallhöfnir was making dinner with the animal's exquisite meat. They were both chilling in the caravan.
Guldfaxe then felt something strange. He was hearing faint sounds that seemed to come from nowhere. After trying to concentrate and pay attention, he noticed what it was; a call. He stood up.
"Papa. We need to go somewhere. May I drive?", he asked, looking through the window.
"Aye, go ahead. I heard voices calling in my head. Was 'bout to ask you the same thing", Fall said. He was extremely bored, to the point of playing with the food instead of cooking it.
Guldfaxe sat on the driver's seat, driving the caravan at full speed towards the target location.
