Just because I'm working on an MMORPG, and since none of the others seem to be active, I thought it'd be a good idea to keep my mind running with ideas. ^^

Rules:
1) You cannot kill another character at all. The fights must be handled in a way both players can enjoy. And please, don't give your character too much insight. ^^; It makes things rather boring.
2) ****Removed****
3) You play a being lesser than god, but more than human. Enjoy that one. =)

Background: Imagine a world that has been ravaged by warfare, causing demons and angels to come to earth. There is really no good or evil, just beings living their lives and doing their jobs. The story can take place at multiple places at a time.

The morning was frosty as Io first stepped into the city of Babylon. Birds could be heard all around, but seemingly engulfed by the slow-moving fog. "This is it, I suppose," he whispered to himself as he walked through the gates of the waking city. His purpose here had much meaning hidden in his slow steps.

He was to join with others, no longer strangely, a mix of angels, demons and humans. The Odessa Corporation had previously found traces of the undead traversing Babylon and decided to take action. Thier finest hunters gathered in the ancient city of learning to discard of their soon-to-be prey.

As a member of this once powerful clan Deranu wanders the country doing what he feels needs done regardless of the law.

-image:will make one
__________________________________________________________________

Deranu wiped the blood of his dagger as he stroled out of a dark ally. "no that i have some money i should head to the meeting place" Deranu said to himself as he placed the dagger back in his cloak. Deranu walked down the street tring not to notice that everyone was staring at him. As the people stared the voice in Deranu's head would constantly chant "kill them kill them all".

Deranu finally reached the pub where he was to meet the others. Deranu took a seat in a corner and started to daze off into another horror from his past. the last thing Deranu remembered thinking before he fell asleep was "i really should be working alone".

Seeing that Deranu had fallen asleep, Io lightly tapped his shoulder. "Still the same as usual, eh? Well, it's time to get going. The others have just left." He finished his drink quickly and stepped outside the door.

"I'm in position," he quietly whispered in his headset. Crouching on the roof, he smelled a familiar odor. Feeling a sticky substance under his hand, he slowly brought it to his eyes and noticed some blood. "It can't be... Have they already been fighting each other?" Something mysterious was going on and there was little time left to figure it out. "We must take action soon."

"Deranu where the hell are you!!!" kept ringing in threw Deranu's head set. Deranu held himself against the roof as he waited for a gaurd to walk by below him. When the gaurd was almost out of sight a blur flew past, leaving the gaurd dead. Deranu dropped to the ground and ducked into the nearest empty room.

"uhhh Io i don't think we're the only people that are breaking into the place." Wispered Deranu into his headset "i'll explain when i get to you." Deranu then crawled out the nearby window and ran off into the shadows to find Io.

"Understood," Io confirmed with Deranu. "There's something strange going on. I'll head to the corridor and meet you there."

Running through the hallways, the corpses of humans filled the path. What on earth is going on? As he hurried, a mysterious tapping sound came from above him. He quickly glanced up and turned away in terror. Seeing Deranu approaching the room, Io gave warning. "Deranu! There's something above us!"

_____________________________________________________________________

Walking along a beaten path, the so called Aura sidestepped several craters and cracks. She was concentrating so much on her footing that she barely realized she had entered the city center. She stopped to observe the signs and posters and around the block. The words were totally illegible to her but she felt comforted by some and freighted by others. A strange man had once tried to teach her how to read, but she could not concentrate enough to learn. A senesce of great urgency still followed her wherever she went.

Starting again down the road she came to an ally. A sense of great pain and suffering came from it. She was about to enter but she was not looking where she was going and got caught up in a large group of people. As soon as she managed to extricate herself from the group, she tripped and fell under a sign that said “PUB” in flickering red letters.

Sitting on the ground she rubbed her burses and looked around blankly. People looked down at her as they passed but gave her no heed. She felt alone and rejected there in the dust and she didn’t even know why. A man exited the bounding next to her. “He is a demon” she thought immediately, not that she knew the full meaning of the word. All she knew for sure was that something was about to happen.

"No problem! i got this" Yelled deranu as he jumped into the air and takled the creature to the floor. Deranu placed his opponant into a headlock as if to question it, but as soon as his arm touched his opponant's skin he let go with a yelp. The creature stubled as if it was learning to walk, but then fell to all four and disapeared in a black blur. Deranu pulled a small throwning dagger out from his cloak and threw it at the small target that might as well be out of sight.

"don't waist your daggers Deranu" commented Io just before a loud yelp ecoed from down the hallway. "now we'll follow the blood trail so that we can catch that thing before it lets anyone know we're here." explained Deranu as he headed off down the hallway.

Io followed Deranu down the hallway as he attemped to make sense of what was happening. Although he learned to see without using his eyes, not everything was clear. With his senses sharp, a faint tapping noise rang in his ear as the sound grew nearer and nearer. "Hold it Deranu! We're being followed." Io grabbed his visor as if to lift it from his eye as Deranu grabbed his arm.

"Hold it," Deranu said, "I'll be your eyes to prevent your pain."

"wait a secound!... Your angelic arn't you?" Deranu said after looking at their follower with more interest. The angelic girl was about to speek, but Deranu quickly shoved her and Io into the nearest room. After diving into the room himself Deranu cussed under his breath. "damn robotic cameras! O.K. we can talk here. What are you doing here, this is far to dangerous of a place for an un-armed angel like yourself." Wispered Deranu to the angelic girl.

After a little conversation Deranu And Io learned that the girl's went by the name Aura, and that she really didn't completly know why she was here herself. "this is gunna change the planns a little Io, We have to take her with us 'cus if they find her they'll start searching for us. You the plan maker what do we do?" asked Deranu in a rather iritated voice.

The other three from our company should be here as hell. We must quickly search this place for any suspicious activity, much like we've already found, without any risk to our own lives. I suppose we can go in two groups of three, with Aura following us.

"Tetra, come in. Do you hear me?" Io spoke into his headset.

"I hear you. What's up?" Tetra asked, curious as to the reason of the call.

"There's something strange going on. Meet with the other two and we'll investigate this place."

"Sure thing, but when we're done, you owe me another drink."

"No problem," Io said with a slightly cheerful voice. "Good luck, and be safe."

Care to take the lead, Deranu?

"of course" Deranu said as he started out of the room. A dark shadow apeared shadow apeared infront of the door. Deranu took a firm grip on the doornob then swung the door open knocking the figure out cold. Deranu dumped the body in the room as the others started down the hallway.

"Well this place seems awfully quiet now... aww crud we never caught that thing earier cus of aura... they know we're here now. Get the others out of the Building Io i'm gunna find out how much they know." Ordered Deranu as he jumped into the vents threw an opening in the roof.

________________________________________________________

As Deranu crawled threw the vent is started to talk to himself, like he always does when hes alone.

"this is what you get for not just killing that damn angel when you found her. ya but that would have been crule, besides thats the infamous Aura you know as well as i do she could have majorly hurt us. Ya but now we have to do all this work to make sure we don't get killed." the conversation between Deranu's personalitys went on for quite some time.

"Sure thing." Io called the others immediately.

"There is something strange going on in there," Tetra informed Io. "It seems as though a vampire is in control, but does a vampire drink the fluids of the undead?"

That can't be right. It could possibly be... a demon?

"Let's go, Aura. We'll leave this part to Deranu." Turning to Deranu, "The rest of us will be picking up supplies for a raid. Call us if you find anything." Io and the others began to search for items that would possibly aid them in their investigation of the city.

Aura could sense a dilemma in her newly acquired companions but she didn’t have enough time to figure it out. Thoughts of the pain and suffering she had just saw filled her head. Going along with the one called Io, they dodged through several corridors and halls until they finally reached a door with a glowing red sign above it.

"What is it, Aura? Do you feel something?" Io asked in a discerning voice. "I, too, sense something behind these doors. Shall we enter?"

Io put one hand on the door, while shielding Aura with his body. "Careful, there may be something waiting for us."

How did he know? Was he like her maybe? Or maybe it was just a coincidence. They entered the room. Nothing attacked; instead several bodies lay around the room.

Io gave some orders to search them for any clues. Kneeling next to one of them, Aura touched its shoulder. She felt something, the throb of a faint life. She might be able to bring it back! Using her own strength she reached for the soul of life as if to bring it back to the body, but something was wrong. The soul would not go, as if it was just a spectator to an empty shell.

“What are you doing, that’s…!?”

Just then the body twitched, its arm shot out and closed around Aura’s neck. It was definitely not alive but it was moving of its own free will. “Undead?” she gasped.

"No!" Io shouted as the ghoul attacked Aura. The whole room moved as if it came back to life. "We're trapped! Aura!"

Running to her, Io pulled out his staff and smashed the ghoul's arms off. "Are you alright? We must be careful here. We do not know of their strength..."

Deranu eventually came apon a vent where he saw that there was a battle going on. Noticing that it was the rest of his group Deranu broke threw the bent and landed in the middle of the fight.

"you just had to find the undead didn't you Io!" Yelled Deranu as he pulled out his sword.

"i'll take care of these guys, besides you guys will just get in my way. Theres a empty room three doors down on your left in the hallway where you came from, i'll meet you there!" slicing the arm of the corpse that was chocking Aura.

As the others left Deranu closed his eyes as a large wind came out of no where. Deranu slammed his sword into the ground and the room lit up with fire. As the corpses fell to the ground burnt to the bone Deranu mumbled under his breath "never mess with the Kabashi clan." then he ran after the others.

"Deranu, I'm glad you're safe. There is, however bad news. Tetra has informed me that a powerful force is what we're facing. One of our own has been killed. His body has already been recovered."

Gripping onto his staff tightly, Io ran stretched out his wings. "Follow me. I'll cut a path to the entrance. We'll return once reinforcements arrive." A dim blue light was emitted from underneath his visor as he shot down the hallway. The others quickly followed. As they approached the front entrance, a myseterious creature that moved with incredible speed tackled Io away from the door.

"I am the gatekeeper of this palace. You may enter alive, but I choose whether or not all of you will leave." The creature licked its immensely large claws and chuckled.

"That smell! The very same one as outside! Careful, you two!" He shouted to the other two. "This is an unholy creature, created from unnatural methods. We must fight with caution."

Aura was feeling quite useless now. “All I do is get everyone in trouble.” She thought. The strange creature gave off a very evil feeling. Even though Deranu and Io were very powerful it didn’t appear to be phased in the slightest.

“Un-n-unnatural methods?” she repeated. The others moved around the creature with weapons drawn yet the creature just chuckled. Again she felt useless, another bystander.

Going rigid the creature leaped and swung its claws. Red lines shot off the tips and cut anything they touched.

Suddenly Aura’s powers came to her. A blue halo formed around her head and her hidden wings shot out. Spell lines glistened like bracelets around her wrists. Her face shone with a bright radiance as she said “You will hurt no one!"

Not being able to tap into his other senses from the pain, Io lifted his visor in an attempt to make sense of the situation. "Aura..."

It'll take me a little time for any healng spell I know to get me back on my feet soon. What can I do? Io looked around for Deranu and saw that he was only slightly injured. "Deranu! Be Aura's shield and don't allow them to hurt her. I have a feeling she'll be able to help you."

"Aura, take this!" Io threw his staff to Aura in hopes that she, an angel, would be able to use the staff given to him by a being of her likeness.

"That i can do Io!" Deranu yelled as he leaped to Auras side.
Deranu blocked any attack the creature threw at aura, somehow matching its increadable speed. Finally Deranu caught the beasts claws with his sword.

"quickly Aura this is your chance! yelled Deranu as he winced in pain from his wounds.

OOC: Yea, I'm guessing Pluto doesn't live here like we do. =P I'll stall a bit. >.<
__________________________________________________________________

"Aura!" Io shouted with all his might. The pain was growing intense. "Now's your chance!"

(well a guy has to sleep sometime!, i ususaly check this multiple times a day)

Aura gracefully twirled the staff in her hands. A spell was chosen and it unwound itself from her wrist and twirled around the angelic staff. With a graceful twist of her body she pointed it at the creature. There was a bright flash and Deranu was knocked aside. The creature yelled in pain as its body was engulfed in white flame. Then Deranu noticed his arm was covered in the flame as well, yet it did not hurt.

The spell ended soon and all the flames went out. Standing Deranu realized all his injures had been healed. Aura appeared to have changed back to her regular clumsy self because she tried to move over to Deranu but tripped and fell.

The creature on the floor was smoldering, yet it still quivered. Its claw crept forward along the floor. "..I... Wont... Let.... You ...GO.." it hissed.

"ahh shut up." Deranu barked as he pinned the creature's claw to the floor. "i think it'll be easy enough for us to leave now" Said Deranu as he helped Io to His feet.

"so where are we meeting the others Io?" Deranu asked as the group left the building.

"Thank you, Deranu. I'll investigate the rest of this building and hopefully find some clues. It would seem that Aura has used up much of her power. Take a rest and begin the search elsewhere."

Io finished his healing spell and looked at Aura. "It seems the staff has taken a liking to you. You may use it until you feel a need to replace it. " He grabbed a halbred from a nearby suit of armor and broke off its blade. "This shall be a fine replacement."

"Contact me if you find any clues elsewhere." With that, Io turned to smoke and returned to the depths of the building.

Outside there was a fresh breeze from down the deserted street. The wind blew the evil essence away with it. Sitting on the step she tried to clear what was left of her mind. Every time she used her powers a bit of her memory would return, but never enough.

Deranu walked out and said "There should be a hideout down the road there. You can rest there if you want.”

“Oh, ok…um,… what..” she wanted to ask what he and Io were searching for but instead, “…is my purpose...?”

Deranu looked at her and raised an eyebrow. “What?”

Realizing then what she had said she blushed and turned away “uh, never mind." She stood then and began walking down the street, "It's nothing, I must be tired, ill go take a rest."

OOC: I'm just messing around with ideas~
_________________________________________
There had been nothing for the past few hours of the search. Nothing alive was left in that building. Deciding that the odor from the corpses was a bit too powerful, and that they deserved proper burial, Io spent the next few hours making a large grave site right outside of town with Tetra and another investigator.

"May the lords bless these souls, never to enter eternal damnation." Io arose from his kneeling position and clapped his hands twice.

"Strange way of doing things. Is it what you believe in?" Tetra asked, slightly confused.

"If by that, you mean religion, angels and demons have no religion. Like humans, we just exit, following orders from those higher up."

"Then what is the reason? If you do not have a god, what is the reason for the prayer?" Tetra searched for answers.

"It is not a matter of belief in a god or gods, but rather of respect. We are beings very close to human, just on different plains of existance. Not all angels are good, not all demons bad." Io spoke with his eyes in a daze. "Perhaps we were the prototypes for humans until our creators decided that we were too powerful, lived too long."

"So you believe in the theory of creation?" Tetra poked for more answers.

"We had to come from something. I believe that all things have spirits, which then give birth to the possibility of creating life. Much like how they believed maggots spawned from pocky flesh, I believe life may arise from stone as it has a spirit."

"You're very strange, Io. Is it wisdom gained from your many years of living? Deep contemplation, perhaps?"

"Most if it is like you say, but the part of stone having a spirit comes from the movie you humans would call, what was it? Pocahontas?" Io said in a slightly serious tone.

"Ha! You must be joking!"

"No joke, but it's time for us to go. This is no place for the living. As they are my graves for digging them, I no longer want to dig my own graves." Io walked back in the direction of the pub.

After making sure that nobody had messed with the hideout while he was gone Deranu showed Aura to the room that would be hers for the time being. Deranu headed outside to keep an eye on the grounds. After a few hours of threatning to hurt people who walked by Deranu found himself on the roof having yet another discussion with himself.

"you know hes back right?he can't be we watched him die rememberyes i remmember but anything is possible for him, even escaping deathwe can't let him hurt anyone!ahh let them rot in hell for all i care we should get our self out of here. no i won't leave them behind!" Deranu argued with himself before jumping back onto the ground and heading back inside to see if Aura was o.k.

Upon entering the pub, a messanger ran up to Io. "Here, sir! A letter from Odessa Corporation!" He bowed and presented a letter to Io.

Taking the Letter from the boy's hands, Io read it carefully.
⌐
To: Io

We have recieved the body of the deceased investigator. An autopsy is being preformed in hopes of finding any clues. Currently, we have discovered traces of what seems to be vampire blood, but it has yet to be confirmed with further analysis.
----------------------------------

My friend, you know that I care for your safety. I pray that all of you return much unlike Agent Ou. Please, I beg that you be more careful. If needed, I'll join the investigation myself.

-Sign,
Azurial
¬

"Messanger, return this message to her. 'We'll be fine. We will not allow Ou's sacrafice to be in vain.' I'll rent out a room for you to get some rest tonight, but I hope you'll deliver this message first thing in the morning." With that, the messanger went to his room and Io went to have a drink with Tetra. "Friend, it seems as though we have worried the mistress."

Aura told her pin to wake her if anyone showed up and sat on the cot. As far as she could remember she had always had the small golden star hair-pin. She didn’t know how or from whom she had gotten it but it appeared to have a mind of its own and often spoke to her through her thoughts. She dosed off then and fell into a light sleep.

There was a black peak in a sunless sky. Atop it stoop a black demon, human flesh in one hand, a blood red sward in the other. When its mouth opened it said "All shall perish and fall into the abyss." Then it reached out and grabbed her head and said "and YOU shall not stop me!" The grip was strong and painful.

Aura woke with a start, there was a small pain on hear head. She reached up to rub it and found her pin was pulling her hair. "hu? what are you doing little one?" she asked. Just then there was a knock at the door.

"Are you up Aura?" said Deranu.

"Yes, come in." she replied. Aura stepped off the bunk.

Deranu walked in, "Are you ok, anything I could bring you?"

"Well, I wanted to ask, um, Io is the leader here right?" Deranu nodded. "Could i speak with him?"

"Well, i guse. This way." he said and led the way. Aura followed, the memory of the dream still in her mind. That demon might be what I’m here for, is he responsible for the corruption we saw today? What are these peoples purpose, why do they fight? Her mind brimmed with questions and she decide that this time she would get some answers.

Io and Tetra had spent the night conversing with one another at the bar. Great memories, as well as painful ones, returned to their hearts as they talked on. Although there was no more alcohol, they couldn't help but keep talking.

Not noticing that the sun had risen, Io heard footsteps coming down from upstairs. "Io, she wants to speak with you," Deranu said.

"Sure, what is it?" Io asked with a light smile from the conversations with Tetra.

"Um, well, Io... I know im new here, and haven’t been much help.. but would you mind explaining what... uh, why you fight? What are you searching for?" Aura said.

"All my life on this Earth i have been trying to find my purpose, and.. you seem to.. have one.." In a way she was envious of Io, Deranu and the others. They had a goal, a driving force, something she so desperately searched for.

"I do have a purpose for what I do..." Io responded to Aura. Getting up, "I'll show you."

He began to unbuckle the many belts covering his upper body and revealed his left chest. Upon it was a Magic Use's Tattoo. "This is a cursed seal the angels placed upon me when my foster parents adopted me. The others thought it was strange for an angel to raise a demon like myself. They feared me, even though I was a small child. They attemped my life once, but my new parents had persuaded them to drop their swords. To prove that I was a filial chiild to them, I put this cursed seal on myself so that if I even disobeyed their order, my heart would be slowly torn to shreds." Io grasped his chest and put his coat back in its place.

"However, I do not fight because I am afraid of the curse, far from it. I fight because I understand what it means to lose those dear to you, many times I have experienced it. The leader of our organization, Azurial, is the only person left that is dear to me and I will do anything to protect her. Even if it means hunting for the ones after her life.

Our job at the Odessa Organization is not only to defend the people, but to give them a new sense of hope in thie chaotic world. It is not only the demons that cause trouble, but humans and angels alike. For this, I raise my fist and challenge the world to face me. Is that what you were looking for?"

“uh, looking… for…” indecision fell in again. She realized again that she was searching, but unlike Io, she didn’t know what it was. A purpose perhaps, a reason for being here and not other places. This man was raised by angels, maybe he could help her find it.

“i..I um, could… I don’t know how useful I could be but… could you take me along with you?” she asked. “I… had a dream… just know… I don’t know but…”

“A dream?! What was it about Aura?” Io was indeed raised by angels and thus he new what it meant for an Angel to have a dream. It was more than just random thoughts, they were prophetic and powerful.

Aura began and told of the experience. “I never saw that demon before, but I have… a feeling that he was responsible for today’s events. “i.. It could be why I’m here, … and if your looking for those things also…” she finally lost her nerve and went silent. The star pin on her bangs was urging her to get some rest.

"Don't worry about that demon for now. I'll take care of everything. I have already sent a letter with a messanger this morning telling Odessa of your joining our organization. I hope you don't mind." Io said to Aura. I had a feeling you wanted to join.

Sensing a strange energy, Io quickly glanced out of the window and closed his eyes. "I see... Then it must be what I thought. Blight!"

"It can't be!" Deranu shouted. "I thought we killed him years ago!" he said as he pounded his fist into the table. It can'e be... It can't!

"Calm down!" Io said in an irritated voice.

Tetra spoke in a soothing voice. "Now, the both of you. Please, don't do this, not now. Ou was the one that delt the finishing blow to Blight, but now that he's gone, we no longer have any idea of how to take him down."

"You're right, Tetra..." Io, under his breath. "I'll have to show my true form. I hope you all don't hate me for it."

Taking off his visor, a blur of light quickly rushed into Io's head as if a river had taken him under its current. A crimson, blood-like aura came from his body as his clothes transformed with his body. His silky black hair grew longer as his face began to become sharper. The muscles on his back shrunk, giving him a feminine appearance. His fingers became an elegant shape with nails able to grow at will and slice through most known materials.

"I was born without gender... Many humans of this world look down upon me for it... With this form, I should be able to protect you all with my poer of foresight." Io's mind began to flood with the scenes that filled his head many years ago. The limitations were off. Something big was coming, and he knew it.

"Weres Deranu?" questioned Tetra realising he was missing.

"Not again Deranu did this last time we hadtodeal with Blight!" Cursed Io under her breath. (your a she now right?)
_______________________________________________________________________

Deranu walked threw the dark tunnel again just like he had so many other times. Deranu finnaly came apon a large chamber.

"speak to me! face to face for once!" Deranu yelled into the darkness.

As a demonic light filled the room as a large demon walked out of Deranu's body. leaving Deranu too weak to stand.

"come to join my army have you?"asked the large demon.

"no Blight....or should i say Father! I've come to put a stop to you once and for all"were the words Deranu forced out of his mouth as he tried to stand up, but failed once again.

"ahh, but you are to weak to do it now. Why don't you take some time to recover... In one of my Dungeons!" Yelled the demon as sevral undead halled Deranu off into the darkness.

The others arrived at the scene, but realized it was too late. There was blood on the ground and this could mean only one thing. Io knew of the relationship of father and son. "This can't be... Deranu must still be alive." Io said in a calm voice.

"How do you know?" Aura asked, pleading for an answer to the situation. "There's blood! What happened to Deranu?!?"

"Don't worry, He's safe." Assured Tetra. "Let's follow him!"

Io pulled out some ruins and handed it to the other two agents to place a confinement seal upon the area. "These are ⌐Runes of Fenris¬ They should allow you to put a level 5 seal up for several days. If you do not see us within five days, send a letter to Azurial and lay low." Io, Aura, and Tetra quickly ran inside after Deranu as the other two set up the barrier.

"Leviathan! Transform!" Io called to the staff that Aura now possessed. A golden light shot from it. After the light had faded, a rapier was revealed. "It's the second form of Leviathan."

(... genderless... um how do you what us to refer to you? he, she, it?)

Aura had never bothered to look before now she observed the weapon she carried. It didn’t have a spirit, but it defiantly had a power of its own. It was a lot like her Deviner that she had once carried, but its energy aura was weak compared to it. She wished she still had it, then she would have the power to protect everyone.

Her thoughts shifted again to Deranu. She looked around the stone halls, without prompting her mind cleared.

"He was taken, there were 6 with him but now only 5. He is moving away, I cannot say where. His... his aura changed, that’s never happened before." she said in a semi-trance.

Returning to normal she looked at Io. "What dose that mean? Your aura didn't change when you transformed just now! Why did his?!" Aura could always see a persons spiritual aura, it only changed over great periods of time and did not fluctuate with moods or physical changes. Whatever was happening was not right.

OOC: I would be a "he" ^^ I can still reproduce, just not in the most conveniant way. =P
___________________________________________

"All I can say is that when we last fought Blight, Deranu underwent a tranformation in his state of mind. If you haven't noticed, he talks to himself often. This is because his brother's soul is now a part of him. When we last fought Blight, Deranu had not yet joined our organization. Blight plotted to use both of his sons in an attempt to gain imortality by using their powers. However, Deranu's brother found this out and challenged Blight with no hope of winning. Deranu was there to see his brother being slashed down by his own father, driving him partially crazy. Before dying, his brother transferred the remaining portion of his sould to Derany. The power that lives in Deranu is not only his own, but his brother's as well."

Io thought carefully. "Perhaps Blight knows that both souls are still alive?"

Deranu awoke around an hour later in the darkness of his cell. Deranu slowly stood up now having to fight his father's curse. knowing that he wasn't at his full strength Deranu did not force his way out of his cell, instead Deranu started drawing alchemy symbols around his cell.
