As with the other post in Another time, another place, this is more of what occured within the other reality, Brian ravenlock had been taken into.. This will be a series of events, and explanations, will be given at the conclusion. Also I want to thank the following RPrs from IMVU for their incredible work, and effort. It is because of them, that this was even possible. So thank you, Lyn, Rei, Desire, Muse, Goose, Gali, Adrinna, Lea, Sadi, Martyr, Acua, and many others! Also note this is entirely taken from LIVE PLAY, and was edited for flow, only..


Millport.. The literal cornerstone, of wealth, and commerce, for the surroundings hamlets of the region.. A place built on foundations, of stone, unity, and prosperity.. A place where the open hand, is favoured over the closed fist, and a place where dreams can literally come true, with a heart felt effort.

And more so, a place that would soon become host to one of the most horrific acts of violence, of the likes that no one, had ever seen.. Ever.

Once more he appeared, as he had before.. Just before the bridge to Millport proper, right out in the open, for any to see.. The Dark One, took a slow step foward, as eyes of frost once again, surveyed the quiet town.. A slow somewhat sneer, took form, as heavied boots carried the man, towards the stone gateway.

Apparently, he was not the only visitor, to the quiet town, as something was apparently playing out, in the distance..

"It seems, others have decided to show themselves once more..", a somewhat faint smile taking form, as he stepped closer towards the bridge, and soon, had begun his way across..

The Flames within the eyes of 'Blaze', began to flare intensely, as she straightened from the fountain gripping Muse tightly by the shoulders. Leaning in close to the Sun Elf, as her warm lips, swept over the cheek of Imogena Muse, as she then whispered softly, yet with such a deadly intent to the ear of the Sun Elf, "You would never get to tack up one page my delicious little elf..."

A bit aways from the pair, Lyn herself , chimed in with, with her own melodic opinion, pertaining to another party that has decided to attend, the gathering, "Indeed...silly men and their silly little toys of powers."

Imogena then brought her arms up and gave a shove to Blaze, as she replied, "Im not yours to hold." Follwing that, with a hissed tone, of utter contempt, she then said, "You aren't woman enough to keep me warm at night"

Moving to the other side, of the Sun Elf, Lyn offered the softest of laughs, and asked, "And, what of me?? Dearest Sister, am I warm enough for thy nights?"

Somehow, in the middle of this, Reileena managed to cooly offer a light kiss to the fore head, of Muse, as she turned, and began to head directly towards the Dark One, as he approached the grand fountain. Mentally, she offered her assistance to the Sun Elf, "~Call if you need me sister.~"

A cant of head taking hold, as the shift in Rei's presence, was more than felt.. A change in step, as he turned more towards her, slowly closing the gap,between herself, and he.. Eyes of frost, drank in the sight of the Mythril Elf.

Reileena however, was a tad faster in step. As she came to pause just before the Dark One, her eyes to his own, as she then reached a hand up to stroke his cheek, coupled with a light slap.. "Why you've returned.. How sweet! Did you miss me that much?"

With no response from Muse, Lyn shifted herself, as she leaned closer the Sun Elf.. Her own heart sister, as lips softly brushed the ear of Imogena Muse, as she then spoke with but a whisper, pressing her body gently against the Sun Elf's, in a most seductive manner.., "Well...am I dearest?"

At the same time, a raised brow was offered in reaction the slap Reileena delivered.. Still the Dark One did nothing.. Frosted eyes, then regarded the Mythril Elf closely.. Gently a gloved hand simply lifted, caressing Reileena's cheek softly.. For the briefest of moments, he truly looked and felt akin to Brian.. Or rather what he once was.. Just as quickly, however.. It had passed, as he replied, "Perhaps.. Then again, possibly you have once again, given yourself too much credit?"

A few moments passed, as his hand was slowly retracted. A faint smile taking form, as he once more spoke to her.., "And if I had somehow missed you?"

Sneering at Muse's reaction, Blazed quickly closed the distance between them once more.. Quickly did her hand manage to find the throat of the Sun Elf, with little trouble, as fingers took hold. Muse was then lifted into the air, her dainty feet dangling somewhat, as the flames of Blaze's eyes crackled intensely. And as she spoke, the voice that came forth from Blaze, eerily felt as if there were indeed more, than simply herself, or Desire, residing within.., "You sorely test me, elf.."

She inhaled deeply, he was near, she could feel it, not able to help it her eyes searched for him..

And turn he felt her. The connection, undeniable, as yet another smile took form.. This one, different indeed, from the one offered to the Mythril Elf, as a name was called out softly.. Akin to a gentile breeze, as he did so..., "Blaze.."

Lyn's eyes in turn, shifted to Blaze as the scent was detected by her as well.. Such a grin that took form, as she watched Muse being lifted, offering her own twisted take on the scenario, playing out, before all.., "Oh do say..Help me, dear sister..." A soft chuckle came from the Elf, as she continued to watch her heart sister, within the grip of Blaze.

Feeling herself within Blaze's grip, Muse's hands grabbed over Blaze's, as she kicked with all her might, swinging back to kick, yet again, as she sent a silent message to her heart sister, Lyn, "~You can't keep a man warm, what makes you think you think you have anything to offer~'. The message sent less than forceful, but the meaning was more than clear.

And then it seemed Muse, was not truly alone..

Quickly, and with no true warning, did Goose, arrive at Muse's side, his hand readied upon the hilt of the sword at his side.. Addressing Blaze directly, as he spoke, his voice cool, and with heavy intent.., "You would do wise, to put her down... Gently."

Once more did the Dark one, address the Mythril Elf, as the scene before them continued to progress.., "It seems, my arrival was most fortunate."

"Oh I am very sure you missed me Darkin. But only be a few inches."

"An inch can be a mile, my dear, Elf..", replied the Dark One.

Reileena, countered, as she lounged against him. Her own natural aura would be felt, even by Darkin, himself.., "How very sweet of you dear."

Blaze's attention snatched back from trying to locate him, she silently cursed herself for allowing his pull on her to distract her so. She stumbled at Muse's kick more powerful than Blaze had anticipated, though she kept a tight grip on her slender neck, keeping her eyes on Goose, who in her eyes, had so rudely interrupted, her time with Muse. "I could put her down but that would be no fun at all now would it?"

A low hiss erupting from her throat, as Blaze's brow quirked..

"Nay, perhaps not, but neither would you losing a hand for not having done so," replied, Goose.

"Well...Mayhaps not for thee... I canst think of a few things I wouldst like to do to her,"said Lyn, as she quickly chimed in.

"Rei..I would not suggest you being this close, " said Darkin.

Reileena quickly replied to his words, in kind, "Hmmm, fascinating you war with yourself."

"Oh hardly, Reileena.. You see, I am about to break some rules.. I believe with what is going on inside the town... That I will speed up the process, and perhaps, we shall make Millport an example.. Now."

"Unless, however.. You have other plans, dear Rei.."

"Hmm.. Now you know that, I will not allow.

"Don't be a Tease Blaze, or is this all you got. Such a tiny embrace, sweep me off me feet and then what? Left to dangle at your impotence?", Imogena said straining in the grip her fingers attempting to dig in to the hands that gripped her while she let fly another Kick. "~Don't make me Laugh sister. You barely think at all. Without drink in you.~", Muse silently sent to Lyn, pushing back with more force.

T'was then, that the two ever present sentries hesitantly appeared at Lyn's side, knowing full well that they had been told not to return here, the power surge from Blaze had become even too great for them to resist, each had pulled their own weapon..

"Enough of this!"

"Oh the lovely things I could have done to, and with you.", said, Reileena, as a mock frown, began to take form upon her face.

Regarding the Mythril Elf, once more, Darkin offered a slowed nod, "You may try to stop us.. The others will arrive, in any moment.

After a bit of a pause, he continued once more, "Oh it seems, it has begun... I swear those ladies, are wonderous are they not?"

"So Reileena, shall we dance, you and I? Truthfully, Ravenlock wanted that, as well.. To dance with you, once last time..", Darkin said, as he offered a sweeping bow to the Mythril Elf.

At the same time, Lyn had spoken to Blaze, with a hint of mock sadness, in the tone of the darkened elf, "Oh, do put her down, she wishes not to play.. Sadly."

Lyn's words, garnered quite the response indeed, as Blaze slammed Muse into the cold stones straddling her waist, moving swiftly to pin her wrists above her head, as she growled, "Why do you provoke me, elf!?"

Muse's response instead of words, was a well aimed spittle, flung with glee to Blaze's face.

Upon having seen the two sentries, Goose would without hesitation, draw his sword, demanding she release Muse, immediately.

"~oh I am so hurt by thy words~" , Silently, said to Muse, as the tit for tat pushes back and forth, Lyn giving as good as she received.

Reileena once more, regarded the Dark One, "On the condition I get to finish something he and I started."

"You may try..", replied, Darkin.

"~You did not do this for me...and you did not do this for him you lie to yourself...You did this because you are too much a coward to stand and take what must be done~", Muse sent back with as much force as she could.

Carefully Reileena, planted his hands upon her hips, tilting up on her toes, as she planted a long firm kiss, upon him.. The kind that would tingle from his lips to his toes. The longer the kiss held the stronger the effect..

"~Careful dear sister, if thy words art true...~", said Lyn, to Muse.

Blaze, blanched using her forearm to wipe away the elf's spit. Her eyes blazing as her namesake she gripped a handful of Muse's hair bringing her face closer a wicked gleam in her eyes as she ran her tongue over Muse's lips before crashing her fist into her ribs, then called over her shoulder the pure wild darkness building around her, "Darkin love if I subdue it can I keep the elf?"

"Aahh..I wish first....uhm... whack per say..", Lyn said, as she looked over towards him, a glint in her eyes..

Darkin, simply stood there, and took what Reileena had offered.. Allowing it to wash over what was there.. If Rei could sense anything, it was that inside there was a void.. Something akin to a dark void, and deeply nestled within that were hints of old magicks.. Not of the voice.. Inside she would see that the shell was breaking, and more so.. The darkness was taking in whatever was about, within itself, include her affect from the kiss.. With no harm to her mind you, it was just taking it all head on, with no effect, whatsoever..

Then, with no warning, what so ever, he recovered.. Angrily, he pushed Reileena, away from him, as more than annoyed look took form, upon his face.

"Take them all!"

"Blaze, Lynneth, you are unbound, do what you will, and make no mistake.. Examples are to be made this day!"

Steadying her feet once more, Reileena grinned, "I thought you wanted to play, love."

Overhearing the words Goose, would make his move, and quite decisively, as he leapt at the two sentries, and in an instant, each would be laid out, upon the ground.

"You and I will indeed play, Reileena, so ready yourself, I will hear no excuses."

T'was then, that the stranger wandered into the town, the knight turned his red eyes about the entrance, looking slightly ill-at-ease, "Such noise from such a small hamlet..."

"OH...! We get to play..didst ye not hear, dear sister?", said a rather excited, Lyn.


To be continued...

Darkin felt the surge, damn it where did she summon this from!? Why won't these 'heros' fall!? Why are the people here, as troublesome, as those in Rhy'din?! When will this circle of madness end, when will I be free, when will it be MY time!? So many thoughts ran through the complex mind of the Dark One, as he felt himself waiver, in the slightest.. He knew, it was time.. To end this, by any means, it was time, to see just what each of them were truly made of!

"Then we'll him together, Reileena! And all of you, can rot in the hell, I send you too, you Mythril b*tch!"

A deep breath taken, as Darkin, leaned his face closer to the Mythril Elf's, as he offered what one, would swear was somewhat of an apologetic expression.. His voice soft, as he spoke once more..

"Detonate...."

Nearly instantly, the spell took home, as the ghouls, began to literally exploded around the town, in a horrendous impact, again, and again.. As townfolk, were send in all directions, many of which were engulfed in flames. More so, two others wrapped themselves around Rei, and Dark.. And exploded violently, sending the pair hurtling over the bridge into the waters!

Meanwhile...

"Just getting started dearest, Goose!", as the whirlwind about her held of a few, some made their make mark, unfelt but harm done, with a laugh.

Upon hearing those words of hers, Goose charged at her, his divine weapon drawn! The enchanted bastard sword, coming to life, as Goose slashed, towards the one he loved, hoping to strike her arm, in an attempt to keep the damage to a minimum. Lynneth however, countered, as she used the whirlwind to aid her once more, as she twirled about the paladin, her blade of fire, clashing against his holy blade, as sparks erupted as a result. At the same time, she delivered, a swift kick of leg, against his own, hoping to gain the advantage over the angered paladin!

Goose was more than ready, as he countered the attack, using his weight, coupled with the shift of her momentum.. Turning her attack literally against her, as he used the force of her attack, literally to repel her, knocking her backwards, with a shuddering force! The result of which was Lynneth crashing down. Quickly she shook it off, rolling back to her feet, remaining somewhat crouched, as she faced him.. Her eyes narrowed, as a somewhat sneer took form.. A low gutteral growl, escaped her..

Goose felt it.. Her anger, her.. Rage.. He knew, he had to press her carefully, as this very well, could tip the scales, for the paladin. So press her, he did. In an attempt, to enrage Lynneth even more so, the paladin taunted her.

"Lose your footing, a little there, did we? Hmmm?", the paladin said, in quite the quizzical tone. An amused expression taking form, as he regarded her.

Lynneth, paused a moment, taking in the paladins words, a bit, as she replied in kind, "Nay.. Dear friend.. Me thought, this was a gentle dance, between friends, me did..", as a purr like growl escaped Lynneth.. The growl known very well, as it carried the tone of dragonkin, and more so, the slight grin that followed, was more than lent credence to the fact that Lynneth, was more than ready, to continue this game, with Goose.

Hearing things detonating the Drow ceases her brilliance, with her weapons searing the air. Tucking and rolling with a gruff grunt and the intent to lick her wounds later. She took her leave, but in doing so left her mark behind, with the sudden appearance to show she was about, and more so intended to be a thorn in the side, of the Dark One, for that fact anyone else, who would cause trouble for her beloved.

Time for Reileena, came to what felt like a stand still, as the explosion caught the Mythril Elf, completely by surprise, as she attempted in vain to deflect it's force.. An attempt that, in the end was futile, as force of the blast literally engulfed the elf, who in reply coughed, and sputtered, as a barrier attempted to surround her.. As quickly as it came forth, it shattered in a brilliant flash, as Rei lost her senses, and as quickly her consciousness..

The collision sending the pair into the water, as Ice, and darkness, muddled the clarity.. Slowly they sank.. An icy tomb, one might call it, to be cliche' if one had to.. Not the end, anyone had imagined, when this began, oh so long ago.. More so, not the end the Dark One, would settled for.. No, not this time.. Darkin would not be robbed, when he was so damned close, to his goal.. No this ending would not do, not in this lifetime, nor the next.

Darkin came to life once more.. Taking hold of Rei's limp form, the Dark One, then made his way towards the surface.. This would not end, here in these icy depths.. He would break them.. And he would do so, while standing on his own feet.. On solid ground.. on *his* terms.. And it would begin with Reileena!

Breaking the surface, with a deep gasp, Darkin looked to Rei, who looked akin to a literal rag doll, offering a pair of coughs, to show, she yet held on to the plane of existance.. Her breaths barely noted, yet she was not conscious, by any means.. With one arm, the Dark One clawed his way towards the shoreline, with Rei in tow. Slowly, did he rise from the waters, his feet finding solid ground once more, as he dragged Rei from the waters.. Heading towards the bridge, continuing to drag Rei. A scowl forming, as he looked back to the ragged Mythril Elf, "I did not want it this way.. You and I, were for a greater conflict.."

That said, Darkin released his grip upon Rei, letting her fall to the stone floor, in a crumpled heap.. A glance to her, for but a moment, as he then turned to recover his sword.. This would end now..

"I'm not interested in trapping souls." Muse says softly, Reaching up again to make a healing connection. "I am interested in freedom though, Lyn's first, but yours as well....don't you want to be free?"

Blazed licked the blood congealing at her collar before speaking, to the Sun Elf.. "I am as free as can be elf, why do you wish to change me? Can you not simply accept what is?", with a growl she dragged muse up to the fountain dropping her into the cool waters. Smearing the blood on her lips with her forearm a slow burn in her throat as Muse's thoughts rushed to her....'blood of light'. But she was a day walker.. But this was within her.. She could not be rid of the light now coursing through her. Stumbling back, she called out..

"Darkin...", her voice was now one of one..... She could not draw from Lyn, as her blood was not dark enough, yet she would have to kill her to get enough.

"Friends, you use that word as though I would still claim you as one of my own.", He would say quit heavily, to Lynneth.. "Well you are quite mistaken!", with that said, Goose would send a wave of force at her, utilizing his Holy Aura trying to disorient her.

Lynneth again,braced herself for what was sent her way. Taking the attack rather directly, with a slight shake of her head, as the force wave, shattered nearly instantly! In retaliation, and a twist of her ice dagger, spikes once more were sent his way, with the deadliest of intentions

Goose, like Lynneth, was prepared, as he blocked her attack, yet again without any thought, what so ever.

"You have your chance, yet you have not made for it, why do you wait?", asked Lynneth.

"I can sense your utter love for me, T'was only once that I have ever felt such feelings from you before..", was all Goose, could reply with..

Darkin turned for Rei, his sword now in hand.. Slowly, did the Dark One approach her.. Eyes of frost narrowed, as he slowly raised the sword, above the Mythril Elf. Turning the blade downward, as runes of frost and blood flared violently, with the most vile of intentions, as the blade itself, came to life, wanting so badly to taste, the blood of Reileena, and more so, to end this once and for all! The sword raised yet again, as he readied to impale Reileena.. No end this, to affirm, this was his time, their time! NOW!

Yet... He did not..

It was as if something gutted the Dark One, like a fish.. The sword dropped, violently clattering, to the stone below, as Darkin looked back to where Blaze was.. The sword left where it fell to the ground, as he shifted, and made towards Blaze, knocking guards, and anything else barring his path, aside as he did so!

"No.. This was not the way!", cried the Dark One, as he sent blasts of ice abound, knocking over ghouls, and guard alike, yet again, as he closed in on the pair!

"Damn you, Ravenlock, even in death.. Blaze, Lynneth!", cried Darkin, once more.

"Goose, am I truly to be frighten? Mayhaps tis I give thee a chance ..but look again..is it loafing ye feel from me?", with her empathy she sent to him such a wave of lust as she stood, with her arms and daggers to her side, his eyes driving the point, ever so much so, as they stared at the one, whom she had loved..

Imogena struggled to get up from the fountain. ~"This is freedom"~ she sent through this new link to Blaze and images of Lyn, dancing at the Red dragon, working in the kitchen nodding to Muse at the stairs, dragging in a dead elk, mourning the loss of her wolf, large with Marious, entangled in a kiss with Liddell, directing the Crew of her ship, and just returning a warm smile to her sister.

A sweep of the Dark One's hand causing the ground to blacken, and literally boil.. Ice rained down about the fountain area, as Darkin joined Blaze, a gauntleted hand reaching for her.

~"Pulling out all the stops dear sister?"~ , this she pushed hard at Muse, as Lynneth then turned, addressing the Dark One, "Aye..M'lord Leech?'

"Thi.. This is not the time. There is something here that must be dealt with another way. We leave at once!", growled Darkin, as he looked between Blaze, and Lynneth.

Goose was stunned.. Unable to speak, and once more he would lower his sword gradually, as he simply watched Lynneth..

Unguarding, the images flashed full of color through minds eye of Blaze.. The burning in her throat was torture, causing her voice to literally hiss, as she spoke to the Sun Elf..

"That was her once....and not this is..", she dropped to her knees the pain in her throat moving creeping with the blood through her body.

Lynneth replied, "As Ye wish." With that said, and seeing his sword lower, she would lazily walk over to Goose, as she neared him, a lovers caress to his cheek, did she offer, in passing.. "Another time, dearest..Friend.", without concern. And as she made her way towards Darkin, a deep laugh erupted from her.

Darkin took Blaze in arm, his eyes regarding her with a deeply seeded concern, as he then looked to Lyn, making sure she too was well.. A scowled regard for the remaining heroes, as he shook his head, "This has just begun, I assure you.."

Dropping to his knee's and placing his head between his hands, Goose would sit there completely frozen..

"Blaze, you will recover.. Be strong..", said the Dark One.

"You look Like you need a healing.", Imogena gaped clinging to the side of the fountain. She would pull herself out in a minute once she collected her strength. Reaching towards Blaze, she continued, " I can do something about that."

A portal erupted once more, as Darkin pulled Blaze into it, awaiting Lynneth, his eyes scornful, as he regarded Imogena, "You will be dealt with Elf, manners have been tossed aside.. You will be dealt with, and all you hold dear, shall follow.."

The fires in Blaze's eyes dipped as she swayed for a moment against the Dark One, his words barely breaking through the fog of pain, that wracked her to her very core, "Yes.....thirsty.....hunt"."

Lynneth was quick to retort, the words of the Sun Elf, "As do thee, dear sister...wish me to aid?", said coyly, as she reached Darkin, "Oh that was fun, canst we do it again?"

Blaze dropped again to her knees inside the portal unable to hold up against the light coursing through her, being.. Darkin in reply hefted her into his arms, offering a gentle kiss to her head, as a nod was given to Lynneth, "We will, again, and again.."

"Good..", said Lynnethm, as she turned, calling out to Goose, "Same time..dearest friend.. Seems our dance is not over as of yet."

That said, the portal flared violently, as the trio vanished from sight, leaving such chaos, and pain in their wake, yet their true goal, not met for the moment..

Muse pulled herself out, and fell to her knees wet and bloody. Her hand to the bite. She felt them retreat.

Getting up slowly from the ground, Goose would look around to see the wounded, as he noted Muse, and Ranto her aid seeing her on the ground and bleeding from her throat he would place both hand's on the side of her neck and heal her instantaneously.

Glancing up to the paladin, Imogena spoke, "Thank you sir."

"Are you Ok M'Lady?", asked Goose, as he glanced around, "I hath to find Rei, M'Lady, she is no where to be seen."

Though her head ached to do it, Muse used her gift to locate Eileen.

What followed was a series of events, that would no doubt set the stage, for what became known, as the greatest conflict ever to take place, in the city known as Millport.. An event, that would change the very lives.. The very beings.. Of those who partook, and more so, shake the very foundation, of what everyone had believed, up to that point..

This would not be over..
