Darkness Reigns

[Fearless Love]

Rikki gripped her head. She now had a headache. Her connection with them had been severed, for the most part, but she figured she could salvage enough of it to get her point across. Though suddenly, she felt extremely tired. She stopped moving, just letting her wings beat every few seconds to let her hover.

It doesn't matter if Alex returns my feelings or not. He has the right to not care about me if he doesn't want to.

She sighed, trying to keep her thoughts on track.

I'm too physically tired to fight you. You made sure of that earlier. And emotionally. . . I've had just about all I can take. So, you win. I give up Alex. I can't fight you, even if I wanted to. So alright Alex. I'm giving you your way. I'm done. I'm fed up with this.

Rikki sighed again and let her wings bring her down to a building. She sat on top of it, folding her wings in, then falling back against the cold material of the roof. She closed her eyes, she was too tired. She sent her last message to Alex.

I'm gone.

(OOC: and that is my last post for tonight! Don't be too busy while I'm gone people!)

 

[FallenAngelSilver]

Gold unable to produce any more tears. Jade, being a non-living spirit, phased through the wall, floating directly into Alex. Gold pressed into Angel. He frowned as he imagined Julie. She, of all people, would be taking this, possibly even worse than Gold. He frowned and tried his hardest to conjure his thoughts and fire them at Julie.

S-Silver.... Is... Is... D-dead...

～～～～～

A blank white room. In it were Alex, Adamanta, Jade, and Silver. Adamanta was most likely displeased, but they stayed. They were in Alex's head. Silver sat, his white pelt seeming to shine. He spoke to Alex.

"You must seperate from Adamanta..."

Jade nodded, adding, "The prophecy of your life is going to end in an awful climax..."

Silver sighed, beginning to recite the prophecy meant for Alex.

"Blood will be shed, lives will be lost. The heir captured, Darkness will reign over all of other world, and Heaven will become a new Hell. Everything the boy holds dear will be pulled away, he will realize his error, but far too late to recover."

Jade sighed and sat beside Silver, stroking his fur. "You are the boy of this prophecy, Alex. Do you need it retold more clearly?"

Silver began again.

"It means, you will eventually capture the heir... But that's after Adamanta's thirst kills everyone; Angel, Rikkilyn, Julie, Gold... Even Joshua. The Dark kingdom will use the heir to annihalaite the Light kingdom, and the king will rule, though he will be merciless. Many, many more angels will die, including what's left of your family. You will live for about two years after, a life of pain and misery, before you are ended by Adamanta himself. This is the road you have taken. The only way out..."

Jade completed his sentence. "Is to seperate yourself from Adamanta. For good."

～～～～～

Without awaiting response, The two exited his mind, the warning in place. Silver disappeared, Jade flew back to the group, stopping Rikki on the way back.

"Let's all go home..."

 

[SV]

Alex felt a weird sensation. Suddenly, he was in an empty room, and there was only white around. Silver sat there, as the the mental projections of Adamanta and another woman. Alex blinked in confusion, trying to ascertain his whereabouts, until Silver spoke.

"You must seperate from Adamanta..."

"The prophecy of your life is going to end in an awful climax..." said the other. They spoke of things to come, and things that will happen.

Alex smiled at them. "This is why I sent Rikkilyn to you guys. I already know." Alex looked at Adamanta.

"Ever since I have picked up the sword, I am a cursed man. My life will end by the blade, and I have accepted that, but I cannot separate from Adamanta, even if I wanted to. Don't you get it? You're all wrong. I am bound to him as he is bound to me. He is my friend, and I, although doomed to die, am his. But however this war turns out, all I know is that deep down, Rikkilyn is not meant to be in the Darkness Kingdom, but I am. This is my place. This is my destiny. This is my doom. I pray you win. But if you don't, and I do, meaning the Darkness Kingdom does, then so be it."

Alex saw that they have left before listening to him. They didn't understand. They were under the delusion that Alex wanted to be saved, or wanted to get rid of his blade, or wanted anything of the sort. All Alex knew is that his path is this one. If the angel get in his way, and they die, then it is what is meant to be. But if they kill him, then that is the path he will take. But no matter what path he does take, that of the killer or that of the killed, one thing was clear: He would not betray the Darkness Kingdom. He would not leave his side.

Adamanta's projection was all that was left in the white space.

"Alex, I have always given you this choice. They seem to believe me an evil blade, by your will. If this is the path you choose, I will help you meet it, through thick and thin. If you wish it, you will always have my dark energy flow through you, until it is your time. Is this what you want?"

Alex sighed and nodded to Adamanta. "It is, old friend, it is."

 

[Aura Rift]

Josh ahd decided to stay in the hotel room he needed time to think however he tracked, Rikki and Angel with his mind until all of there "patterns" were together, however one pattern was very weak and eventually disapeared, *Silver* Josh thought. He felt Rikki run and try to contact Alex but then another mind sent a mental wave towards Rikki hurting her, she went to rest on a roof after that.

Josh grasped Demonica and arrived at the roof very quickly,

*Im sorry for your loss* he thought to her.

 

[DarkAngel91]

Angel walked over to the table and picked up the feather. *Silver.....*, she thought. She walked back over to Gold. "Let's go home. There's nothing else we can do. Even if I wanted too, and believe me, I do, I can't bring back the dead Gold. I wish I could.", she said. She put the feather in Gold's hand. She then hugged him. *J-Josh? S-Silver is.....gone*, she told him. Her life was changed forever.

 

[FallenAngelSilver]

Silver had appeared behind Alex in the room, in his angel form. He whispered irritantly into Alex's ear.

"We know you don't want to leave the blade. That is the problem. But you can't seem to get this around your thick skull!!"

Silver simply tapped Alex's head, showing him the horror ofhis future, as he narrated.

Your family, dead. Your friends, dead. Most by your hand. Both kingdoms fall, in a massive all-out war. Neither side will prevail. All Hell will break loose."

 

[DarkAngel91]

Angel decided to try one last thing. *Silver?....I don't know if you can hear me, probably not, but please, at least tell Gold goodbye in some way. I hope you hear this....Julie will be hurt the most out of all of us.....I'll miss you......Here's my last gift to you, my friend*, She thought. She started to sing a Japanese song her mother had taught her, called Heaven's Sky. Her voice made the words have a deeper meaning. A swan song for the Fallen Angel Silver( Like how I used your name in that one? lol). She poured her heart and soul into the song, sending it into the heavens and hopefully to Silver.

 

[Aura Rift]

*I..I know Angel, Im sorry for your loss...* he felt himself begin to cry, he hadnt even known Silver but it hurt him to see his friends in pain like this, he decided to go to the see Angel and to meet Gold, as they weren't yet aquainted, after all, Rikki, he felt, needed time to think.

"I'll leave you to your thoughts" he said. "If you need my help contact me."

He grasped Demonica and charhed at full speed towards the point where he sensed Angel, and he Golds mental patterns.

When he arrived they were both crying and both were holding feathers, Golds was glowing Silver in his hand and Angel was crystalized on a string around her neck.

Josh suddenly felt a feeling that was all too familiar, it was one of the demons urges, but the Demon was dead! Could it be Demonicas power, either way he was helpless to disobey, he walked over and grasped Angels crystalized feather and sensed something, a mental pattern, the dagger forced him to memorize it, and then gave him back control of himself, however a crack had now formed on the crystals side, bright-red in color. Josh realised what he had done. "A...Angel Im sorry, I didn't know.... I....I..." Josh was lost for words, he had just damaged the piece of Silver she had left.

 

[DarkAngel91]

Angel was stunned beyond belief when Josh walked up to her and held the diamond pendant that contained Silver's feather. When he let go, she looked at it and saw a red crack in it. She didn't say a word. She had no more tears left to cry. She took a chance, sense she knew he had the dagger in his hand, and hugged him. "It's ok.....I-I'll fix it l-later.", she said. She didn't know how Gold was going to react, so she was tensed, on guard. Waiting for anything to happen. All of a sudden she got an intense headache. She yelped in pain. Then she fell to her knees, gagging. *Let me in*, an evil voice said. *I....will NEVER....let you....in*, she thought. She felt like she was being ripped apart from the inside out. The demon. The demon was trying to take her. She gathered up all of her energy and formed it into light. She sent the light through her mind and hit the demon. *Be gone and never come back!!!*, she shouted. After a few minutes the pain receded, and with it the demon. She took off the pendant, and set it on the ground. She could never touch it again. It had part of the demon in it. Demons and Angels don't mix. She grew angry. Angry at Josh for touching it, angry at Bill for what he did to Silver, angry at herself for being the weak, whimpering female.She let out her breath in a long, slow, angry hiss. Her fingernails changed into razor-sharp claws. Her eyes turned pure black. Her logical self was shouting at her to stop, that he didn't mean it, that he didn't know. Her animalistic self was dominant, ruling her actions. Instead of slicing Josh to pieces, she turned and shredded the exam table Silver had laid, and died on. Soon the table was nothing but a pile of long, stainless-steel strips on the floor. She was crying now. "I-I have n-nothing to s-say to y-you", she said.

 

[FallenAngelSilver]

Gold frowned, because this boy had made a horrible first impression, damaging something that meant so much to Angel.

"Let's just go... I can't be here anymore..."

He held her close and took flight, landing on the floor of their hotel room. Without aknowledging anyone else, he crawled into the bed and threw the covers over himself, completely. He took fox form, curling tightly. He was unable to cry anymore. And it hurt.

~~~~~

Jade floated back to the hotel room, seeing the lump of blanket where Gold probably layed in misery. She frowned and sat on the windowsil, staring at the midnight sky. It was a full moon out, and the clouds only covered the edges of it. Many stars lined the black-blue sky, but one shone brightly. It stood out from the others. This rut lasted for months.

~~~~~(Months later)

Gold sighed. Without Silver, there was no rebellion. There was no 'Silver Lining'. No positives to this situation. Silver was gone, and eventually, he accepted it and moved on. But what would happen now?

~~~~~

Jade watched the sky yet another day. That single star was always shining, standing out. Her eyes widened with shock as it began to get bigger. And bigger. Fast.

"No..."

She muttered in disbelief. She suddenly dove away as the star came crashing into the room, rolling into the wall with a crash, as the smoke cleared and the white fur became visible. It shifted back into Silver. Jade looked completely speechless.

~~~~~

Silver stood before his old friends. How long had it been? Months? Years? It felt like an eternity away from them. He looked different.

Silver looked older, and maybe an inch taller. He cut his hair short, and it was spiked at a frontward angle (EXAMPLE, but a bit shorter) it was bright white with light blue at the tips. He wore a sleeveless black shirt with wolves on it, long white-gray shorts, sandals, and a purple headband, matching his am,ethyst eyes. His left eyes was tinged with a brown spot, a multi-color eye. His facial scar glowed like usual. He tossed his knives off to the corner. He listened to the people in the room. Rikkilyn, Julie, Angel, Gold... Some boy he did not know. But being around him almost made Silver shudder. He didn't seem normal. Silver did not like that. Silver made eye contact with all of them, but his eyes seemed... Different... He looked like he was... Blind...

(Sorry for time-skipping so far, but there is a story behind Silver's return, that requires a few months of waiting. So, just fill in what you did over the months of Silver-less-ness... :3)

 

[DarkAngel91]

Angel had been so depressed she had refused to talk out loud, speaking only mentally, which caused her to lose her voice. It had been months since she had said a word or sung a single note. Her hair had turned white-blonde, her eyes were colorless, dull.She often times sat in the corner or on the roof, just staring out at the sky. She didn't want to live anymore. She was quite suprised when Jade flew into the room, followed by something crashing into the room and hitting the wall. It was a bright light. It changed into....Silver. She couldn't believe her eyes. He was taller, his hair was spiked forward and tinged blue at the tips. His eyes....he was blind. Angel just stared, having forgotten how to breath. She would have shouted for joy if she could have talked out loud. So she got up and tugged on Gold's sleeve, pointing to Silver. She looked at Silver. *Silver.....*, she thought. *Is it really you? Cause if this is a joke, I'm going to seriously hurt someone.*

 

[Aura Rift]

Josh had to fix this, he grabbed the pendant and opened his mind, and he felt the demon enter, and his appearence changed drastically, his skin turned black like charcoal, his hands and feet turned into hideous talons and giant leathery wings, similar to a bats, protruded from his back. Josh dropped the pendant and it hit the ground, yet thankfully didn't break. he put the dagger away and returned to normal bar his permanent red eye, the demon was weak, he was dying and his last act was turning him into this....this.....monstrousity. He screamed in horror as he took the dagger out again.

He flung himself into the sky and flew away with his new wings, he had adopted the demons true form, as it died it passed it on to him. He crashed on a roof and put the dagger away returning himself to normal, just as he passed out. He didnt know that this was a type of hybernation, he would be asleep there for many months.

(Months later, Josh awakes)

Josh awoke covered in snow *Snow?* he thought. It had only just been raining...*wait a moment, how long was I asleep?*

He looked up to see a shooting star bursting through the sky, crashing into the hotel and turning into a boy, he recognised the mental pattern from the feather, *Silver?* he thought.

 

[FallenAngelSilver]

Gold looked shocked, unsure of whether he was in reality or simply dreaming. Silver was here, he looked different, and he was blind. There was only one way to tell for sure. Gold instantly tossed a kunai, headed straight for Silver's forehead.

~~~~~

Silver's blank eyes shifted to Gold's direction, and in a swift motion, he caught the knife between his fingertips, stopping it. He smirked a bit, revealing his fangs. They have also grown slightly too. He yawned, ran his hand through his hair, and walked over and sat at his and Julie's bed. He may be blind, but it had no effect on him. He moved around obstacles with ease, as if he could see anyways. His senses were supernaturally high, even for an angel. He yawned again and sat against the backboard of the bed, glancing around the room, alert.

~~~~~

Gold smiled.

"It is you brother..."

~~~~~

Jade smirked a bit.

"I knew you'd come back..."

 

[Aura Rift]

Josh flew up to the window in his new demonic form and landed inside, he put the dagger away and returned to normal.

"Your, your Silver aren't you?" Josh asked. He bowed. "A pleasure."

He looked at Angel. "Here" he said and he tossed her the amulet, the crack had now lost its red glow.



(Also I would prefer if no one saw Joshs demon form just yet :P)

 

[DarkAngel91]

Angel got up and walked over to Silver. She reached out and touched his arm with her fingertips. He was warm. Alive. She smiled, something she hadn't done in months. She leaned down and gave him a hug. "W-welcome....b-back", she said. Her voice sounded different to her own ears. More serious, less carefree and happy. Her eyes were lilac again, her hair was as black as it had been before. Did he realize how much those two words meant? She hadn't spoken a word after she and Gold had returned after that terrible night. She didn't let him go, afraid that if she did, he would disappear.

 

[Fearless Love]

Rikki hadn't done much recently. After her last conversation with Alex, she had done just what she said. She'd left him alone. She gave up. Sure, it hurt for a while. But so did everything else. She had reverted back to the old Rikki. Making snide remarks at others, not caring. She had pushed her feelings back. Her sadness, her angry, resentment, everything. She may not have been pleasant to be around, but she was herself, the usual her anyway.

Rikki had been laying in her bed, listening to music, ignoring everyone else. She was honestly surprised when 'something' came crashing into their room. She'd sat up, looking curiously. Then, she'd pulled her ear buds out, setting her music device aside. There was no way. He couldn't have actually been there.

"Silver." Rikki muttered under her breath, but didn't do anything else. Angel and Gold seemed so happy that Silver was back, and she was too. She wasn't really sure how to explain what she was feeling, but she didn't know what to do.

So, she just stuffed her hands into her pocket, just watching. There wasn't much else she could do. Not at the moment anyway. She just looked at Silver, still pushing back her emotions.

 

[SV]

It had been a few months since his battle with Raike ended in a tie, and Raike sped off. Alex had since then lost track of Raike. He returned back to the Darkness Kingdom, discussing the entire situation with the higher ups, including Trainer. Anything and everything he witnessed at the human world was relayed to them. After much deliberation, it was decided that Alex would have to go in again and finish the task the three originally were assigned to, but he would have to do it without them.

Alex was instead selected to be accompanied by Travis Azrael. Travis had black spikey hair and black coat that dropped to his ankles. His eyes were dark, too dark to be mistaken for a human, so he wore shades to mask himself as one of them while there. Travis was not like the other Dark Angels previously sent on the tasks. He didn't have any powers, or anything that made him special. But he was the toughest Dark Angel the Dark Kingdom had to offer. He flew the fastest, fought the hardest, and his swordsmanship was legendary in the Dark Kingdom, known as probably the greatest in terms of skill and technique. However, Alex's sword was the best in terms of Power and brute force. Either way, Travis was could hold his own against almost any opponent. Added with that was the personality of a loyal servant of the Darkness Kingdom. He is cold and loud, but also smart and patient as well. He exploits people's weaknesses either through their emotions or their lackings in certain aspects of their skills. Alex didn't take too much to him, but admired his swordsmanship. He did not, however, like his workmanship nature and standards. Alex would probably not be able to slack off as much as he used to, but he accepted that once he returned to the Darkness Kingdom to begin with.

Alex and Travis entered the human realm. For Travis, it was his first time there. He observed his surroundings with renewed curiosity. Alex smiled as he remembered a few of the sites. Their wings formed into their bodies and disappeared. Travis spoke.

"Right then, I suppose we should get to work. The target has most likely not left this city, so we must get some leads."

Alex sighed. He didn't like much the fact of huge work loads, but knew there was no way out of this. This time, he would finish the job, and finally be at peace. He remembered some of Silver's vision to him. He knew it was unavoidable now. His side was chosen, his final destiny had begun. Alex only wondered who would win, them or us? Alex remembered Silver say his friends and family would die because of this. It didn't matter. He had no real friends, besides Adamanta, and his only family was standing right next to him.

"Come on, Alex, let's get a move on. Who knows how long this Rebellion or the Light Angels had to find the heir? We should pick up the pace."

Alex sighed and nodded. "Alright, brother."

 

[DarkAngel91]

Angel knew Alex had returned to the Darkness Kingdom. She longed to go back, to see her old home one last time. She took out her cell phone and dialed a number she had once forgotten. "Nana? Il suo Angel .... Sì, sto bene, sto nel mondo umano ..... No, non devi venire qui, è troppo lontano per te viaggiare ... potresti farti male, .... Nana... Nana? Ciao? Nana? Ci sei??(Nana? Its Angel....Yes I'm fine, I'm in the human world.....No, you don't have to come here, It's too far for you to travel...you might get hurt, Nana....Nana? Hello? Nana?? Are you there??)", She said. The phone disconnected. She sighed and closed her phone. Her great grandma was too old to have taken care of her when her parents died. (Her great-grandma is Italian btw). She looked at everyone in turn, stopping at Gold. *I-I'm sorry....She was too old to take care of me....*, She thought to him. She turned at looked out the window, waiting.

 

[FallenAngelSilver]

Gold smirked a bit. He hadn't smiled in months.

"Someone to take care of you? What, you're gonna replace me?"

～～～～～

Silver smiled at Angel, Gold, Rikkilyn... He frowned at the boy. There was a demon in him.

"I apologize if this hurts..."

He jabbed his fingers into the boy's stomach. 5 red marks were left by his jab, and he held the demon in an aura ball. He crushed it in his hand. The demon was shattered. He helped the boy to a bed. He turned his head to the others. His left ear was pierced. A small amethyst cross dangles from a tiny silver chain: his earring. His voice was deeper, slightly more masculine. He seemed more mature. He frowned at the others.

"I missed you all so much..."

He looked down with blind amethyst eyes.

"Where is Julie...? I want to see her..."

(Really, where is miley??)

 

[DarkAngel91]

Angel shook her head, smiling. "No. No one could ever replace you, my love. Nor would I want them too. I would miss you too much.", She said. She leaned in to kiss Gold, and that was the moment Angel's Nana decided to enter.

"Allontanatevi dal mio angioletto! Approfittando di una giovane ragazza, si vergogni! (Get away from my little Angel!! Taking advantage of a young girl, shame on you!!)", Nana shouted, ready to tear Angel away. "Nana, calmati. Lui non approfittando di me. Lui è il mio ragazzo. Il suo ok, Nana. Non hai niente di cui preoccuparsi.(Nana, calm down. He's not taking advantage of me. He's my boyfriend. Its ok, Nana. You don't have anything to worry about.)", Angel said, hugging the old angel. Nana was only 5'5", with short white hair that had once been jet black. Her eyes were a deep Emerald green, her face was full of wrinkles, but you could tell she had been beautiful in her younger years. Her wings were once as black as Angel's had been, but over time the feathers had turned to a grey.

"Sei sicuro di stare bene? (Are you certain you're ok? )", she asked, hugging Angel back. "Sì, ne sono certo. Questo è il mio amico Silver (Yes, I'm certain. That's my friend Silver)", Angel said, pointing to Silver. "Questo è Rikki, un altro dei miei amici (That's Rikki, another of my friends)",she pointed to Rikki. "E questo, Nana, è Gold, il mio ragazzo (And this, Nana, is Gold, my boyfriend)", Angel said nodding to Gold. "Avete due .... sai ... fatto niente? (Have you two....you know...done anything?)", her Nana asked, looking at them both intently.

"Nana! Naturalmente non ci siamo! (Nana! Of course we haven't!)", Angel exclaimed, her snow-white face turning red. "Sono solo controllo. Quindi, da quanto tempo sei stato uscire con mia pronipote? (I'm just checking. So, how long have you been dating my great-granddaughter?)", she asked Gold. Angel had been translating everything that her and her Nana said, from Italian to English.
