Hi all! Got an announcement. We've had quite the player turn-around the last few weeks and today MangoNekros has also left the game. However! We've also found two new players. If you haven't welcomed them yet, please send a big warm hello their way! I will be updating the character cast shortly to reflect these recent changes. Sorry for not keeping up with that too well. Hope you new players stick around for a while. Same for the old. We're happy to have you. 
Victi takes a deep breath, concentrating as the last location swap in the chain she had established takes place. The she calls out, voice forceful and full of fury and strength, "BEHOLD, the Heliolance!"
And all hell breaks loose.
A ray of light that hurts to look at and blisters the skin lashes out toward the Warden as she, Drake, and her Shriker disappear. In the wake of the beam, a wall of fire erupts as the power of the sun rips through the air, shearing over the landscape for several kilometers along the coast before crossing over the ocean, boiling the water beneath it and tearing off over the horizon, travelling in a straight line tangent to the planet's curve. People in towns hundreds of kilometers from the site can see the hellish ray's blazing corona, like a second sun stretched wide over the horizon. Highly flammable materials such as paper within up to about 120 meters and directly exposed to the light will catch fire, as will wood within abour 70m. The vicious ray lasts for only a few short seconds, but the damage is done.
At their teleportation "landing" site, the hilltop where Victi had first arrived, the sorceress falls over, completely exhausted and staring at the burning horizon.
"Dammit," she mutters, "Too much mana to keep my wards up and get us here and....AGH!" Her feral shout of frustration as she rolls onto her back makes it clear that she really hadn't meant to let her spell do.... whatever it had done.
After a moment, she remembers Drake. "Crud, your hand," she says, adding something in another language gesturing vaguely with one limp-looking hand. Her shriker makes a small chirping sound as a light flashes. "The roll of silk-looking bandages in the back bit Use some of that, it'll help. I'll deal with the rest once... once I can move. Let my siphones give me enough mana to at least run my nerves properly..." While the spell did its job, presumably, if with some unexpected side effects, it was very clear that it had taken a massive toll on her as well.

She sensed she was planning something big obviously. Like she thought before. She knows every inch of this place by heart. She quickly spread her wings and grabbed Neo and flew as high as she could and as far as she could as the beam of light burn her backside slightly. She tried blocking him from the beam as best she could. "Damn..."
The light cleared and she set them down. She looked at the ruminates of her once beautiful home. She walked up to the fire infested area. The Warden and Spartan were gone. Vanished.
As her wings drooped low to her side, the fire burning her legs slightly, she stared into the fire. A single tear fell. She got down on her knees and closed her eyes. "I am sorry... I couldnt..." she bit her bottom lip trying to hold back her tears.

Alastor looked over the simple camp he had built. It had been a while since he'd left his home to go on this search, and he was already missing his usual comforts. Travelling wasn't his usual style. I mean, why leave civilization when it has everything he needs? He would often think to himself as he was growing up. Still, this wasn't just some trip into the woods, or some divine intervention. This was the biggest payout of his life! Some time on the road couldn't hurt that much, right?
As he sat next to the fire he had built, he started turning the shard over in his hand. "A looot of trouble surrounds you now, doesn't it? Hard to believe anything has that level of power. And a vase? Odd choice for an all powerful artifact." Alastor let out a quick chuckle before thinking to himself. "Now that I think about it, I haven't seen what you can do yet. Let's fix that."
Making a quick cut along his hand using one of the daggers on his belt, Alastor let a good amount of blood settle over the shard. The feeling he got back was.. strange. Unnatural.
But also powerful.
He looked over at the pot he had over the fire, filled with water that was taking all too long to boil. He felt like he could do something about that. He focused on that feeling, extending his hand as he imagined a wizard or sorcerer would. He could feel the water warming. Reaching towards the temperature he desired.
Alastor's focus was suddenly diverted, as he heard something move beside him. "What the hell!?" As he turned, the water he had been focusing on launched itself toward the noise. Before he could even see what had moved into his camp, he heard the screeching of some small critter, covered in the boiling water.
A rabbit. A goddamn rabbit. Pull yourself together, idiot. Alastor stood up, ending his little science experiment. Walking over to the rabbit, he made one quick thrust with his dagger to silence the noise. Well at least you don't need to worry about lunch.

After a few minutes of taking some deep breaths, she got up. She then went searching until she found the shard. "I will protect these shards with my life." She proclaimed. She heads deeper into the fire infested house. At this point her healing had kicked in and the flames were doing to nothing to her. "Of all things, my house? Really?" She sighs as she looks at part of the damage done to her house. "This will take time to rebuild.... another time I suppose. For now, gather what we need and get out of here." She exclaimed
Hey, so I had a bit of an idea. So Alastor is traveling from town to town collecting info, right? What if, to join up with somebody, he hit a town that had recently been burned down? That way he wouldn't be far behind Jules, and might be able to catch up to her
I'll let her know to take a look at this. ~v^
Sure! Dm me and we can plan more if youd like!
Neo would look around to see the destruction."Jesus…",Neo said.His hands clenched as rage started to take over,but he wouldn't let that happen."If this is what she's capable of,then I suggest we find the other shards,fast."Neo would grab his sword,and look to the forest.
Hey can i join?

I think we may be out of shards if Cookies joins in, but we'll see what happens. I'd love to have you, if it can be managed. If you'd like to message us on it we can at least plan for if it does happen, but no pressure either way. ^v^

I will read the post and then i will let you know
She paused after seeing the fire cutting through the treetops. She was confused by this and switched her path so she wouldn’t run into it. She sighed and kept walking. She kept her mind focused on just getting somewhere to rest and eat. She made her cloak hood was hiding her face and snowflake hair piece.
"Yeah... just...just please give me a minute. I have valuables that I need to check. I just hope they are not ruined... chances are they didnt make it." She moves to the burning house and enters a cellar door. She walks down and most of it is gone. She picks up a few decently usable items and places them in a bag. She then comes up and stares out in the distance over the cliff. The wind in her hair. Her eyes turn black and face becomes more serious. "We will make this right" she proclaims.
I'm going to need another day to post. I just learned that one of my favorite rp partners has deleted their account suddenly and I have no idea why. Too bummed out to write today.

That's fair. I hope they're okay. : (
Yeah I'm heartbroken. Our rp had 301 posts, our ooc conversation had 1261 replies. I'm just so very very sad and wondering what happened to them.
