The Night Dark [P/Event/Ati]

[Draven]

And Godric would look steeled in his own resolve back at the other. Pointing his blades at the swordsman as he started to move. If he needed not to produce any more action then Godric would not waste the energy. Moving toward the location of the drummer to retrieve his katana that he had thrown. Placing the katana in his right hand into the multi sword holster and then picking this one up off the ground in the same hand.

If possible he then moved over to where the tome bearer was and picked up four of the eight boomerangs he had thrown. Placing the katana in his right hand, so that it would be in between one of his fingers, in a way that suggested his six sword stance. This so that he could maneuver it so that he reached down and picked them up and placed them back into his cloak. The rest of the boomerangs were near the swordsman and opted to simply view them as a loss.

And should the swordsman still simply stand there in his resolve, Godric would slowly make his way over to the spiral staircase.

Using his Byakugan, Godric let the x-ray function focus so that he could see what was past the stair case. His illusionary clone being the alarm should the swordsman act. Godric was looking for the alter. Should it be upstairs, or simply behind the stairs. In either event, he still had a job to do, and if these monks resisted no more, then he would aim to complete it.

[Y]

Slowly, the field of soul energy seemed to fade a round Godric as the remaining monks having were succesfully quelled. He would glance down the stair case,  and see that it lead to a landing, perhaps 100 meters below the ground, where saw a large metal door, 5 meters thick, which was propped open. Through that door was a beautiful sanctuary, full of beautiful old books and manuscripts, pews and prayer mats, paintings and statues, and finally, a large and beautiful altar, covered in gold and jewels and marble, with two lit candles burning uncannily bright. No doubt, this was the place that the Kaiser had sent him to. And it was, from here on in, unprotected.

Slowly, the field of soul energy seemed to fade a round him.

[Draven]

The choice was simple, making his way down the stairs. Godric let his perception extend as he let his Byakugan keep it's reach. If things go well he went through the door, and to the alter. Taking out the book... One final step, Buuut.. If he was a vampire, laying traps for viticms was a sport. And he had a tingling feeling with this place.

Holding the book inches above the alter. His next moves were going to be quick. Letting the book go so that it would fall onto the alter. Employing the Shunshin technique till he was past the large door. Not stopping he continued to shunshin to the stairs. Rushing up them and then a few more final shunshins out the doors of this cursed temple...

[Y]

As the book fell onto the table, a sudden force of spirit would seize hold of Godric. Shouting, in the same tongue that he heard earlier, would echo through his mind, and, with his vision fading to black, a celestial image would appear before him, continuing to speak in that unfamiliar tongue. The image was a strange light, which seemed to be obscuring some kind of figure. It was unclear, but the clear impression here was that it was of a higher power. As the form spoke it would grow larger and larger, and more and more intimidating. Then, it would speak in broken common.

"You cursed to rot forever in this place."

After that, the vision would fade and, as Godric had predicted, the door would be sealed...

[Draven]

Narrowing his eyes as this image came into being. If he could move or do anything he would. Looking around himself, with any of his senses to see if this was a lie, some sort of Genjutsu, or something within the realm of soul energy. Was he trapped?....

What was the Dark Kaiser's play, why was he sent on this path. This was not the path that he seeks, and now there was no way out... LIES!! he nearly screamed it... To rot is it?... No his soul was eternal, not rotting is one thing he does best. Seals are meant to be broken, and patience is all that is needed. Nothing is forever....a scowl...

He was caught in a paradox of his own wants. If he were to stay here for a long period of time he would contemplate over his own ideals. His only hope from not going insane was the fact that things change, nothing lasts forever. Was immortality but a pipe dream...LIES his own voice shouted in his mind.

At his core the beauty of eternity sings out. The perfection of existence, and the will of it's being... Yet... he was stuck...

"KAISER!!!!" he yelled out as if hoping his sound could travel. Godric was stuck and alone, and his hate starts to grow... of this place...

NO! of course not... His actions were quick, before the book fell he calculated he could make the door before it sealed. If some god were to use some dirty trick like this... Then a god slayer was more appealing then to be one of these low creatures of existence known as gods...

No... Inkaten, Shunshin to the ground, then with feet touching solid earth... Shunshin before the book drops...

No, should this not work, then a welling of his own Soul energy to protest against this deities... His soul shooting out to beyond the door where his body would snap to that position...

No... he will try as much as he can to resist...

Godric tried to assert his force of will in the face of the enchantment, but a moment's struggle in the mind yielded nothing sucesful. The thing re-seized Godric's mind as he used a technique which attempted to help him flee, and held his body in petrification for just long enough for the door to close and spin, singifying that it was sealed tight. It was an odd trap to say the very least, such an inefficient way of killing its victims. After all, in Godric's case, this chamber would be unusable for a huge length of time, perhaps a 1000 years, before his madness forces him to take his own life...

These were the questions Godric would have to ponder, unless he had a plan on how to escape?

[Draven]

Then so Godric is trapped between reality or whatever this was. Not happy obviously. This was not the end though, there were ways to get out of traps. This one is no different. Perhaps this was a way to prove to himself that he could go against a god. He did have to admit to himself, that the Dark Kaiser was one ballsy person...

Thinking back upon the battle Godric tried to gather up some clues as to how he was going to get himself out of this. A few brute force tactics that he employed were simple, first one was of course soul shift. Perhaps my letting his soul travel and letting his body snap back into existance would work.

If that was not the case then a more forceful approach. With pure chackra welling up Godric created a battering ram type object. Then he had it fly through the air to see if there was anything solid, and if there was to smash against it.

But perhaps not. Then again, if he was still getting no where Godric tried to employ another soulcaster technique. It was the free soul technique. He felt it was a long shot, but the name of the technique in a way called out to him. Perhaps he could at least free his movements, free his sanity for the time being...

But that of course could fail as well. Should that be, then with the use of his Byakugan, he tried to visuallize what was around him. With the use of Eye's of the Planes he wanted to know if there was any soul energy at work here. As he was thinking that the main tool of those monks was of the same nature.

But if that didn't work then he would start to get desperate. Chakra lore, a knowledge skill could possibly give him an answer. Looking back into his thoughts he wondered if there was anything he would know about what was going on...

...Then a memory popped into his mind.... The Kaiser was suppose to meet him here... An angry grin spread across Godric's face. Then man must have lied about that...

Godric would have little luck with his attempts to escape.

His soul would go out, reaching beyond the room and back towards freedom. But, as was the nature of the technique, his soul could not move his body past a corporeal object. Godric would thud gently into the metal door as the energy of his soul returned to him.

The chakra battering ram would go out from him, taking a sizeable amount of his energy. However, the door, which was very strong it would seem, took somwhere between a small and moderate amount of damage. With repetition, perhaps Godric could get out in that way...

His free soul didn't seem to do a whole lot at this moment. No strong forces seemed to be acting on him directly for the moment.

Finally, as Godric observed his surroundings with the utmost care, he would notice chakra and soul energy in the altar. It seemed odd however. The chakra seemed to be more like a conduit than an actual power source. The chakra acted like a pathway for some other energy to flow through. It certainly went beyond Godric's available knowledge... however the conduit, interestingly enough, faded to seeming nothingness over a disance of one meter, as if, whatever it was connected to, was in another place. There was a similar set up on the door, except...

As Godric watched, the energy in the room began to gather up the pieces that broke off the door and seal them back into place. If he wanted to break the door, it was going to be a hell of a ride.

However, suddenly, a man would appear and immediately speak.

"Fighting gods never is as easy as one hopes."

Said the Kaiser, who was now standing on the altar with the book at his feet.

[Draven]

Peace... Peace was actually something he could handle. There have been centuries where he slept through, though they were in stasis chambers. There isn't nothing he could do, no he could slumber, perhaps waste away, perhaps... Though He would survive even if his body did not. Elsewhere his soul would linger, and reanimation would ensue. Thus he closed his eyes...

"Fighting gods never is as easy as one hopes."

What was this voice. Was he dreaming already. It was so real, a reminder of who brought him here in the first place. Admitting he was perhaps deceived by this man to come here and be sealed up. If this was a ploy by one of those hunters, those Venators then hats off. Respect of power was something Godric held in his heart. Whatever the Dark Kaiser was, he was crafty...

But... The echo was from the outside. His sense of smell could pick of another substance that was not here before. He wasn't asleep, too much of reality was invading his conciousness.

Hanging there, in whatever position Godric opened his eyes to this visage. "I see what you mean... Is this where you send all those who fail your drinking contest?" saying with a sly grin. Of course the grin turning to a scowl as one being in such a position or humiliated by such a thing would be in, "WHY WOULD YOU SEND ME TO THIS CURSED PLACE!!! I realize now that it wasn't by this god's will that I be trapped but by yours? Was I a pawn in your game, are you really a god playing politics and I your pawn. If so then RELEASE ME! And leave me be with my miserable existence." Weather that was a humble ode or aggression, even Godric didn't know. But it came from a source of emotion.

[Y]

The Vampyre Lord seemed to crack under the pressure of beign trapped. However, the dark kaiser, still dressed in his old military uniform, hopped down from the altar and smiled as the man flailed about in front of him. He seemed completely unintimidated by the rampaging creature of the night. It was clear he was a man of unspeakable power and confidence. He withdrew a skin of wine from his waist pouch and tossed it to Godric.

"Looks like you'll be needing that sooner than I thought." He reached down and picked up the book.

"Yeah. You really pissed off whoever's in charge of this place. This is basically the most lewd document ever written in Celestial. One of my produest accomplishments." He flipped it open to reveal a variety of characters and seals which were incomprehensible to Godric.

"But I suppose you'll be wanting the power of the gods now; and probably needing it. I'll tell you what, I don't know what this has to do with any sort of divinity. But I still think you'll apreciate all this power." He tossed over another book, entitled 'Flying Thunder God Seal.'

"With that power, you can create seals and convey yourself to them, from any place in the world. It's how I got here. I snuck one of my seals onto that book of filth I gave you. When you learn how to use the seal, burn the book, and I'll come back here and carry one of your seals outside the temple. Then, you'll be free to go.

"Or, if you think you'll need it, I can give you a hand in learning the technique.

"Or, if you think you'll need the easy way out, there's a weak point in the wall over there. In a few days you should be able to tunnel your way out."

[Draven]

Catching the book of the "Flying Thunder God Seal" and inspecting it. Reading through some portions Godric would indeed realize what he had been given. The implications of this could be, well it was indeed godlike. "This was worth it..." he said off the cuff. No more anger or rage...

"I will learn this... But... I would like to do it by myself. I fear owing you another favor would endangure my life further than it already was. Now if you'd be so kind as get me down from here I would be much appreciated." he spoke as he dangled some more.

(If you don't mind, I'd like to convert this into flashback training. Using another thread and referring to this one when I train for Harashin. Also finishing this thread, and speeding up the exit so I could make use of my event thread. Planning a summoning quest here once I am done. So essentially like a happy ever after Montague to the exit.)

[Y]

OOC: I approve of your flashback training. Congratulations. You've achieved the impossible. You are free to exit.

[Draven]

(Exit)

Godric learns the seals, and gives the Dark Kaiser what is needed. With the completion the Harashin is used and the exit of this cursed placed commenced in an instant.

(Note: This thread will be used in reference for further flashback training)
