The Essence of Souls [Open, PM me for bio submission]

[Percival]

Petal speaks Latin, focusing on ancient names lost to history. The wood begins to turn green.

The doll gestures for the Zorua to come nearer, partly for the ritual, partly due to the giant scythe.

(Time for stabbing. Sigh.)

Barry is heavily wounded by the attacks, drawing his breaths out in large gasps and spreading blood across his body. However, he cannot stop the song. He is paralyzed in his pain, continuing to play. Oxryklne gets another burst of energy, the effects of the shadows wearing off on him. Petal's wound emits no pain, and his arm begins to rebuild itself. Zorua feels a rush of power.

[Percival]

Petal, seeing Barry in pain, rushes to him, but not quickly enough, as the knife hits him. The doll then proceeds to stab the wooden sliver into his neck slowly, blood issuing forth.

All at once, the pain is nullified. The blood has stopped flowing, although all his limbs have a tingling sensation rushing throughout them.

(HAH, DISASSOCIATION OF AGONIES RITUAL!)

Barry can't help but sigh in relief, and nods his thanks to Petal. He continues the song with more confidence now.

[Percival]

"Keep it in. Don't take out."

 

Petal draws a blood triangle on Barry's neck, and the flesh seals around the rod, the blood immediately soaked in.

(Since for some reason the scythe hasn't touched Zorua yet...)

*The scythe hits Zorua in the stomach, but she manages to stay calm, and conscious due to the crimson blood seeping rapidly out of the wound*

[Battal]

<There's a difference between worms and beetles, foolish shade.  Now leave them alone!>

 

Oxryklne uses his control of shadows to send the shadow wave back at Daniel.

[Ellebelly24]

*Zorua laughs heartily, blood gushing out with every bit of laughter. She barely winces, but due to the paleness in her skin, it can be observed that she is going to pass out soon*

"Same here... There is a difference between worms and foxes. For one, I can destroy worms, two, you are the worm here."

[Percival]

Petal, slightly exasperated, tries to dodge the scythe, whilst running towards the Zorua. It barely manages to draw another Thaumaturgic triangle, this time slightly smaller.

Ten pebbles disappear, replaced by a large splinter of wood. Petal, as before, grabs it and sticks it in its mouth, chanting once more.

[Percival]

(I have found a ritual in my book that sounds gruesome. Not much good against shadows...)

 

Petal stopped chanting, grabbing the now green wood. Petal starts running towards towards Zorua, whilst keeping an eye on Daniel.

[Blewcheese]

(Where is this going?)

Barry's song reaches Zorua, and the bleeding lessens drastically.

[Ellebelly24]

(No idea...)

*Zorua smiles weakly at Barry*

"Thank you..."

[Percival]

Petal now sits by Zorua.

 

"Hold still."

 

Petal impales the splinter into the the flesh above the stomach. Once again, the pain is dulled, and the same sleeping feeling spreads, making it slightly difficult to move.

 

Petal smears the blood from the wound, and draws another triangle, sealing the flesh.

[Battal]

Oxryklne hurls the shadow back at Daniel.  <I'd rip your legs off first.>

[Ellebelly24]

*Zorua nods*

"Thank you to..."

*But Zorua end up fainting*

[Percival]

"Sigh. What was protection ritual.."

 

Petal looks at Daniel, while trying to think of a protective symbol.

[Percival]

(Stop! Hammertime!)

 

"Ahh...a glyph."

 

Petal cuts a circle, the ends tapering off and curling away from the center, on the Zorua's chest.

The symbol glows, and disappears, the flesh rebinding.

[Battal]

(STOP! HAMMERTIME!)

(You got me.)

 

Oxryklne sends out shadow tendrils in an attempt to slow Daniel down while trying to get away from him.

[Percival]

(Mind if I transform the beetle into blood?)

[Battal]

(k.)

[Percival]

(Technically Vitae, but whatever.)

 

Petal draws another Thaumaturgic triangle, and transmutes rock into glass, then glass into bottles. The doll then begins to rush at Oxryklne while staying out of view of Daniel.

[Battal]

<What are you doing?>  Oxryklne asks, still fleeing Daniel.

[Percival]

Petal simply says one word.

 

"Vitae."

 

It grabs the Oxryklne, much to the beetle's dislike. A warm, slick feeling spreads throughout the beetle.

 

(While slippery, Vitae is actually more potent in power, at least in dark arts.. Think of that for a while.)

[Battal]

(So he's blood?)

 

<Gah!  What are you-fagasblurgurgle.>

[Percival]

(Right now, you are more like dark-imbued blood in a solidified form.)

 

Petal whispers to himself.

 

"Don't think, don't think, otherwise the bestiola will melt."
