The primary facility for New Pantheon is their main cathedral, located near the outskirts of Karn. This is where six of the seven new Pantheon Deities have made frequent appearances. The Cathedral is a large ornate structure, built in a very old style of architecture that only the gods would remember. The surprisingly cheap upkeep of the facilities is kept by donations. They don't hold regular services, and they don't have a dogmatic doctrine. People come to be in the presence of their Lady regardless, for protection, comfort and healing. Location: Community Hall Hall of Ascension Chambers of the Gods |

Rohan Azuron Messy hair, unshaven face, rags as clothes Status: Focused Compression Blast: 5/5 - 0/3 Psiblade: 2/2 - 0/2 Rohan was satisfied with his search in Karn, it took little to no time to get answers, having him head for the Cathedral almost immediatly. A short walk later, Rohan found himself near the main entrance of the building everyone lead him to. There seemed to be a lot of bustling around, just as he heard "That Hang'E must be very important... Not that surprising when she is being called a goddess." The tense aura inside was certainly unpleasant, but Rohan had no time to worry about such things, answers were way more important for him at the moment. Rohan looked for people that seemed the least troubled, he didn't want to be a bother or get caught in other people's business, after all. Once he found someone that looked relaxed enough, he would repeat the questions he asked in Downtown Karn: "Have you seen Arachne?" or "Do you recognize this pendant?", hoping to find a more definite answer here. "This sure would be a lot easier if I at least knew how she looked..." |

Many people were on their knees in silent and intense focus. Up on the front stage was a very noticable woman with a red dress, tanned skin, orange eyes, and a short blonde hairstyle. She was standing, and she seemed to be leading said people in this meditation. Even you could feel her intense aura from here. Perhps intense is the wrong word... It was a potent warmness that washed over you. Your body feels hot, like its burning up inside. In all factual truths it was ten degrees above the normal temperature. But it wasnt uncomfortable or unpleasant. The heat seemed to bring you peace and clarity of mind. But it also help feed your determination. She was likely one of the goddesses of New Pantheon. Everyone else just stood around. Basking in the energies that filled the room. The people you asked almost seemed annoyed at such an obvious question. The majority of the responses were something along the lines of "What? She lives here! What kind of stupid question is that?" Others nonchalantly pointed out that she is probably in the gods' chamber. Either that, or in some restaurant she sponsors. Others just ignored you. The most common place mentioned is the chamber. Presumably where she lives. |

Rohan Azuron Messy hair, unshaven face, rags as clothes Status: Focused Compression Blast: 5/5 - 0/3 Psiblade: 2/2 - 0/2 As expected, Rohan didn't get much from the people around, other than the occasional, albeit somewhat aggressive, confirmation that Arachne was nearby. Rohan decided to test his luck a little by attempting to get in the area that he was pointed to by most people. Once again, knowing how Arachne even looked like would help a lot, but now was not the time to complain. For now, he just settled by looking around the area to see if he could find anyone who could provide him with more exact whereabouts of the Goddess. |

The only noticable people in the room was the one at the altar leading the ceremony, and two big people in very impressive and imposing sets of armor guarding the entrance to the chamber of the gods. They held equally impressive and imposing Halberds. They probably knew. You probably didnt want to ask, but they probably know. They look like they would. The actual goddess at the altar also probably knew. But she seemed like she was deep in focus. |

Rohan Azuron Messy hair, unshaven face, rags as clothes Status: Focused Compression Blast: 5/5 - 0/3 Psiblade: 2/2 - 0/2 Rohan found rather annoying that, after a while looking around the place, he got nothing. His choices had slimmed down to the lady in the altar and the burly gentlemen that guarded an entrance. Seeing as it would be extremely inconvenient for everyone, especially himself, if he were to distract her from what had so much people focused, even more considering the reactions from the ones that were not that much into whatever was going on. With a deep sigh, he headed for the armored couple. He didn't got close enough to trigger their "crossing weapons in front of the entrance" shtick, as he didn't want to appear invasive. So, from a respectable distance from them, he got to the million lumin question: "Could you please tell me where can I find Arachne? I need to talk to her." sounding slightly concerned at this point. |

The Knights looked at you as you approached. Giving the simplest answer they could. "Lady Arachne is within her Nest. Her private quarters is not to be accessible without personal invitation. If you have something vital to say, you are permitted to tell us, and we will relay it if it is indeed vital." They spoke in a way that was a bit stoic. Their voices were not deep. And even now you couldnt infer their genders. |

Rohan Azuron Status: Happy
Compression Blast: 5/5 - 0/3 Psiblade: 2/2 - 0/2 The stoic guards with even more stoic voices managed to finally give him something of use. Rohan couldn't help but smile a little "Fantastic... Okay, so... What I need is... to talk to her about..." Rohan said, as he fumbled his fingers across his pockets, looking for the pendant. It took him a few seconds to actually remember that it was on his neck. Once he got ahold of it, he would show it to the guards "This... This was given to me by my father, and I would really like to know about his whereabouts. Before disappearing, he gave me this and told me to look for Arachne..." At this point, Rohan didn't even bother in considering if lying was a good idea... Even if all he did was twist the events a little. |

Compression Blast: 5/5 - 0/3 Psiblade: 2/2 - 0/2 Rohan struggled for a moment when he heard the guard's answer. For some reason, he felt really attached to this pendant, something he didn't quite notice up until now, that he was being asked to be separated from it. However, Rohan knew that there would be no other way to reach Arachne in the near future... He didn't really want to risk what could be a single chance to know exactly what happened to Edward. Still very hesitantly, Rohan slowly removed the pendant from his neck. He looked at it as he held it in his hand for a few seconds before extending his arm to the guard. |

The Guard sighed at your hesitation. Taking the pendant carefully as he went back into the deeper parts of the facility. The remaining guard moved over to be in the center of the doorway. After a decent moment had passed. The Guarded trotted back up the hallways and returned the pendant to you. "The Lady will see you. Please tap on the wall before entering. It seems like she wanted to put on some proper clothes. Just keep walking on. Look for the webbed doorway." It was a rather straightforward corridor. it did turn and go down at times, but it was a single path with no offshoots. It didnt take long to find it. After a door made of heavy stone, torrential fire, ice, and a door seemingly made out of beads, you eventually came to a door shaped like a cavern entrance. This door was made of multiple sheets of white spider-silk. Three sheets placed in a fashion that you could not see inwards without walking around them. On the inside sat who could only be Arachne. The room looked like an old-style stone temple. With a copious amount of webbing everywhere. The webs were neither sticky or moist. But rather dry and smooth. And quite pleasant to touch. "You know, I only ever made a few of those pendants for people I really liked." Her dark purple silken robes werent exactly all that modest. But they werent too revealing either. They were decorated with constellations. She was sitting on a small hammock she made herself. Seems that webbing was very durable. |

Rohan Azuron Messy hair, unshaven face, rags as clothes Status: Nervous, happy
Compression Blast: 5/5 - 0/3 Psiblade: 2/2 - 0/2 After a few moments of tense waiting, the guard came back with his pendant and a positive response. Both were well welcomed "I see, thank you". Without hesitation, Rohan stepped through, and walked down the hallway as instructed. After a series of odd doors, he found the one he was looking for. Rohan started to feel excited for some reason, he couldn't figure out why as he knocked. He then waited for a moment before stepping in. Once he looked at Arachne, he froze for an instant, as her sight triggered some memories to appear to him: An underground ocean, an abandoned temple, and... the goddess he somehow managed to revive. It suddenly felt like seeing an old friend, even if it was as Edward. By that point, Rohan realized he had stepped in looking confused for a few seconds before happiness erupted across his face, all in silence, Arachne had said something and all... So he corrected that as soon as he realized "Ah... Sorry, I just got surprised... And yes, I assume so, because... Rohan hesitated for a moment, as his story was way past weird, but at this point, he would be better off just being straightforward and saying it "... You gave it to me. I'm not surprised you don't recognize me though. I have changed a lot since then. I don't even know how long has it been... I just woke up, after all..." |

"Wait..." She jumped down from the hammock, landing with a graceful thud as she hit the ground. She approached you, and one of the eight arachnid legs on her back prodded your forehead gently. "Edward?" She seemed rather surprised. "I didnt think i would see you again for a very long time. What do you remember?" She seemed to be getting more and more energetic. Frantic to understand it seems. |

Rohan Azuron Messy hair, unshaven face, rags as clothes Status: Curious, Happy
Compression Blast: 5/5 - 0/3 Psiblade: 2/2 - 0/2 It was very shocking, the goddess managed to hit the nail perfectly in a few seconds. Rohan was rather taken aback by this, he barely remembered her, after all... Yet despite that, he still felt abnormally comfortable with her presence. The mixed feelings would certainly appear on his face, as he once again went silent for a few seconds. "Just what in the world did this bastard Kalam do this time..." Rohan would laugh nervously as a way to settle down a little. He would clear his throat, and then say "...Summarized, it's the same soul on a different body... I was stuck in the Void for who knows how long... And then, I got this body... So I guess I go by Rohan now... I'm still trying to figure out how the hell that even happened... But it did." in a rather thoughtful way, he was indeed clueless on how his soul ended and got back from the Void, so he was thinking about the nature of the events that brought him here... Let alone his lives before, which was a can of worms he wanted to avoid for now. Said chain of thoughts brought him back to saying "The last things I remember are an underground ocean and the temple where I... revived you?..." hoping to add some pieces to the puzzle. |

"I could tell. Prolonged exposure to the void can leave a permanent mark on a soul. its why i didnt recognize you sooner. During your attempted battle against Ythima, you died. Your soul fell through the rift atop Vern Octos. We all werent sure if you would ever return from there. Especially with the way that the world is healing." She took a step back and looked you up and down. She seemed distressed by something, but quickly moved on from that. You could see her legs doing something behind her back. "Are you sure thats all you remember? I have a pretty decent memory of what happened back then, but only the parts of your life i was in. |

Compression Blast: 5/5 - 0/3 Psiblade: 2/2 - 0/2 Rohan was getting happier by the moment with his decision of looking for Arachne. She seemed to be very knowledegeable about the whole Void issue, and was there offering to talk more. Rohan noticed the worry on Arachne's face for a moment, maybe due to the mention of Ed's death, but she moved on from it, and got to a question that Rohan was really eager to respond. "Ah... I mean, I remember all up to when I went to that temple, then it's kind of a blur until you appeared, and then... Nothing. Just waking up on the Void... You know how I died back then, so you should know enough. Based on the fact that you are at the beggining and at the end of my memory gap, that is." Rohan said, too lost in thought to notice Arachne's doings behind her back, mostly thinking why the name "Ythima" caused a huge chill to run down his spine. |

Compression Blast: 5/5 - 0/3 Psiblade: 2/2 - 0/2 Rohan's face brightened at the offer of the goddess. Energically nodding while affirming "Please do! I've been waiting to know all along..." Although, he was still worried at the bottom, despite how hard he tried to ignore that. Fearing Kalam made them "owe" something to him with nefarious intentions. He also considered asking him, but he was not to trust. At all... Still too focused on Arachne's words, Rohan remained oblivious to what Arachne was making behind her. |

She finally fished the last seam, and sighed in relief. Perfect timing. "Alright, but before you do, I need you to change out of those rags. Someone like you shouldnt be thrown together so nonchalantly." She then presented him with perfectly folded set of clothes, made to fit him, as Arachne sees him. They were much more opulent, and likely more comfortable. "Call it a welcome back gift." |

Compression Blast: 5/5 - 0/3 Psiblade: 2/2 - 0/2 "...Oh! thank you, Arachne. I'll go and try them..." Rohan smiled at her honestly, even though he was still doubtful of Kalam's plans with the goddess, he was happy to not have to use old rags as clothes. Rohan went to a secluded part of the room to put on his new set of clothes. Once fitted on the extremely comfortable and fancy clothes the goddess made for him, he returned to her. "It is a very nice gift, I really like the colors too... thank you once again!" Rohan commented, as he moved around to feel the clothes' stretching capabilities and overall durability, which were top notch, of course. "Alright, now, please put me up to date. What happened since I revived you?" he asked, as he looked for a place to sit, knowing this will take a while. |

"We set up another summoning apparatus at Eru. You know, the same thing that you used to revive me, but was used as a portal to the master gate. Through materials gathered, we raised up another eight goddesses. Six of us came here and founded new Pantheon with Venus. The others just wanted to be alone. I think they feel like failures, or useless now that the darkness isnt a threat anymore. I can relate. But anyways, we built up a place in Eru, and stayed there for a time. But the darkness was amassing its forces quickly, and you had the brilliant idea to go onto their plane and get stronger. Everyone tried to talk you out of it, but you wouldnt budge on the matter. A week later you had returned, I dont know how long you really spent in that place, but you were powerful. I am not even sure a Dread Lord could have bested you with his blade. But it was too late. The Darkness had summoned one of their Deities, ythima. We tried to get out of the area, but you had decided to Challenge Ythima. Thinking your newfound power couldve been enough to put up a fight. Atomized your body from the inside out with Kaaos, and that was the end of your life. We packed up and left Eru immediately, managing to save ourselves from the attack only hours later. After Eru fell, Ythima made it a point to destroy the other strongholds. I dont even think the old houses managed to avoid his wrath." She looked up and simply smiled. But somehow despite that the world survived its darkest hour. And look, after only three hundred years, the world has bounced back from nigh extinction." |

Rohan Azuron Status: Disappointed, happy
Compression Blast: 5/5 - 0/3 Psiblade: 2/2 - 0/2 Not really knowing where to sit on, Rohan leaned against a nearby wall as he heard the explanation of Arachne. While he was at it, he started realizing that since they started talking, his memories naturally came back to him. The more she talked, the more he remembered, or at least he expected that. After asking to her a couple of questions regarding specific details of Edward, or Kalam rather, his mind eventually came to the conclusion it was no use. Some of memory appeared, he just felt what he assumed Kalam felt back then, or maybe it WAS Edward. But just some scattered memories, in any case, so it was hard to tell. Rohan straightened up and sighed. "Alright, I think I'll just take your word for it, regarding the parts I don't recall. I guess I might as well start from scratch now. It has been a lot of time anyway... Regardless, thank you for the help Arachne." It was weird, he was frustrated that his memory didn't fully come back, but at the same time, he just felt happy of knowing a little more about his past. Coming back after being atomized was good enough anyway... |

Compression Blast: 5/5 - 0/3 Psiblade: 2/2 - 0/2 "I am glad to have a place where I am welcome so fast! It must be a record." Rohan said cheerily, as that was something great to hear after years of literally nothing. He didn't want to push his welcoming in here, so he wanted to still give back something if he really was staying here. Confidently, he asked "I did see a lot of concerned people down there, do you have an issue I can help you out with? Or that's normal around here?" wanting to show some willingness to stay in good terms... Given that he revived the goddesses and all, or rather Edward did, there was very likely no need to. Rohan still wanted to help, regardless. |

"What you saw was our deperate attempts to help Hang'E. She has been ill, and we have been channeling our followers strength through us to her. We think its helping, but she hasnt really improved. I would never ask you to help with that though. The only link we have is Calantra which is a very bad place." She thought for a minute. "How good do you think you are at finding people?" |

Compression Blast: 5/5 - 0/3 Psiblade: 2/2 - 0/2 Rohan took a moment to process what Arachne said. She seemed worried for this "Hang'E", which most likely was another goddess, based on what she just said. On the other hand, Arachne didn't look like she wanted to send Rohan to look for the solution, as it was in a "very bad place". After thinking about it for a minute, she seemed like she reconsidered it. Rohan thought about it for a moment as well, before answering "Don't worry, I'll try my best to help out... Just tell me: Where is Calantra and what should I look for?" even if Arachne didn't want him on that place, he just wouldn't idly wait for someone he could help to suffer any more than they need, especially since they are helping him as well. |

She shook her head. "Please dont. That city is called the Worlds Grave. The City of the Dead. That is the Suicide city. Almost everyone who is exposed to Calantra for any amount of time will kill themselves there. Its the most malevolently haunted place on earth. What I was thinking, is maybe you could find someone to help Venus? |

Currently at the front of the Cathedral is a white haired woman wearing a blue set of heavy fur armor. She was delivering an address to discuss the state of one of the goddesses, Hang' E, who is recovering from a mystery illness. Her skin was pale, and she had a scar on her face. A silver crown on her head, or rather, a silver tiara. She wore a cape from the same pelt as her armor. her facial expression was firm and unnecesarily stoic. A cold mist escapes her mouth and rises from her hair, betraying her as the Goddess of Winter, Skadi. She also mentioned activities at a fitness dojo she and another goddess named Artio was supporting. Apparently both the Goddesses would be there to lead a few sessions on martial arts and combat. There was also mention of free food. As Ryu made way for the Chamber of the Gods, two knights in paladin-class armor stopped him with large, oversized Halberds that for some reason, you got the impression arent just for show. "Whoa there lad, beyond this point is the Goddesses private quarters. We cant let just anyone through without an invitation from one of the Ladies, or another deity who lives here. Lady Skadi is currently busy as you can see, and I believe Lady Pele is out among the Town. The others are currently relaxing in their chambers." |

Ryujin, Son of Aelous Ryujin held his hands up innocently, grinning: "My apologies, I didn't think the Chambers were quite literally the Godessess private quarters. I will be on my way." Ryujin returned to the community hall, deciding to worry about choosing a patron deity later when he had met them all in person. He hoped to choose the deity who aligned closest with his own beliefs, however if they were busy he would have to wait. Besides, he already has his own true deity that resided within him. Ryu waited for his request to be processed and then headed out, Nemesis woke and carried out his photosynthesis. Leaves Area |

He still lacked parts of the memories with her, but what he had was able to somewhat win him over. Whether that would stay with him remained to be seen. With that settled, Rohan went along with Arachne's suggestion to help "Venus", most likely yet another one of the goddesses that resided here. "Alright, I won't. In that case... Who should I look for and for what purpose?" |

"Well..." She seemed hesitant. "Its really not my place to tell you that. She doesnt like people knowing. If you want to know that you will have to meet with her yourself. She has a couple of problems that she needs dealing with. She is looking for some kind of healer, is all I can really say. Sorry.

Respecting Arachne's choice to leave explaining it up to Venus, Rohan didn't pry any further for now. But he did comment to Arachne "It's fine, I understand" to reassure her a little. With that settled, Arachne moved on to talk about sleeping arrangements. This had Rohan quite surprised, as the lack of windows made him not feel the passing of time. If she mentioned sleeping, Rohan assumed she must be tired as well. With that in mind, he said "I didn't even notice that much time had passed... In any case, I appreciate the offer. I'll take that and look for a place to sleep at around here, so that you can rest as well". |

Ryujin Ryu sent in a new mission request for a mission he found to align with his own goal, and if rejected he would send it in again. He then changed his clothing, and called for his transport in preparation to leave. Over the city flew a silver pod, completely cylindrical and making no sound except for a slight whistle as it cut through the air. The pod bore no deviances in color except for a deep golden crest, depicting the torso of a woman attached to the bodies several snakes that curled into the skulls of dogs. The woman on the crest held a lightning bolt in her right hand and a worm like creature slung over her shoulder with her left. It hovered outside the Cathedral, appearing like a silver egg with no visible entry points. Upon being accepted to the mission, and then receiving any information he could from the so-called goddess known as Venus, Ryu departed. |

Embarrassed, Rohan wanted that Arachne moved on from that, which surprisingly, she did. However, it wasn't all that pleasing, as she triggered an emotional response on Rohan, one he didn't quite recognize. Rohan tried to hide it, as he wanted it to go unnoticed, in order to avoid troubling Arachne any further. With his almost professional poker face on, Rohan said "Alright, where do I find her?". With that information, he would nod and go to the instructed location. "I wonder, what has her like that... I will definitely ask once I finish helping Venus". |

Arachne thought but a moment, and then spoke. "Well, go further down from here. A doorway with an opaque silk-curtain hung before it should be the second door. Thats hers. She waved to you as you left. And following the instructions, which were precice, you arrive at Venus' room. Knocking, you got pause, and then you heard her bid you enter. Venus sat in a chair. Next to her was a circular pool of steaming water, yet it didnt make it hot down here. A small tree in the corner that survives without the sunlight. It was really quite nice here. Vines with grapes on them are on the walls. Venus was quite opulent wasnt she? She wore a white dress which hung upon her shoulders, and a singular piece of silver armor covering her left arm. Somehow they go very well with eachother, working in perfect sync. I dont think we have met. Im Venus, and who might you be? |

Eventually, he settled with a nod while walking away. "Come on,you have to get used to people... Especially the ones here." resounded in his head as he travelled down the hallway. Rohan didn't even notice when he arrived at his destination and knocked the door, his mind still fixated on beating him over his social inexperience. However, all of his thoughts were drawn to the sight before him once he opened the door. A very beautiful lady sat inside, certainly fitting of the "goddess" title in all the aspects he could think of. For a moment, Rohan felt his nervousness would overtake him again, he was talking to a literal goddess for barely the second time in his recently started life. "Ed or not, they are giving me a roof. I don't want to be some lowlife freeloader" was the thought that managed to push Rohan past his initial awkwardness. After a short pause, he answered to Venus "Technically we haven't. You see, my name is Rohan, but, you met me as Edward a long time ago according to Arachne. I don't remember much of it myself though. She told me to come here to help you." |

She leaned forward and her eyes actually changed color. A very pretty blue color witha slitted pupil. She tilted her head and smiled. Her eyes changed back and she relaxed. Quite an awkward fate you've been met with eh Rohan? I can see its true. Your soul has the same shape as Edward. And it has spent far too much time in the Void. There isnt a trace of light or darkness left in you. I wager that means it was an eternity for you. With a motion of the hand, some lose stones in the floor across from her rose up into a chair shape. It looked pretty comfortable. Come. Sit, relax, and tell me what Arachne told you about my problem. |

Rohan Azuron Messy hair, unshaven face Status: Focused
Compression Blast: 5/5 - 0/3 Psiblade: 2/2 - 0/2 Rohan came across a big surprise once Venus answered to him: she believed his story without any hesitation, other than a weird stare. It kind of took him aback, as a matter of fact. But he wasn't going to make her doubt the truth by doubting himself, so he continued as if there was no problem at all... which was correct anyway. Once she motioned him to sit, Rohan would oblige, while also saying "I'm not gonna lie, that was easier than expected. It is kind of a weird story, after all... And yes, that would be a very nice description for it..." after which he sighed heavily, reminiscing on his time on the void "Man, I'm glad to be out…". Once on the abnormally comfortable rock chair, Rohan would answer further "She wanted you to tell me. To respect your privacy, I assume. All she told me is that you needed a healer." |

She nods. After a pause where she presumably thought, she began to remove the gauntlet and shoulder pauldrons. Yes, that tells me everything I must know. Arachne would probably kill us both if I sent you to Mt. Serva or Calantra... Im sure I can trust you Rohan. But know that what you see must be strictly between us. Understood? She stopped removing the Gauntlet until confirmed, and once you did, she would let it fall off her arm. Or... half of an arm. Underneath that literal shell was nothing. Her arm ended two inches out from her shoulder. Cracks in the skin radiate with a white energy. Not only that, but that same energy is pouring out in painful-looking quantities from the wound. Quite pathetic. A Goddess of perfectionism and Beauty, dismembered, mutilated... broken. Its why I dont go out much. I have struggled to find someone who can heal a wound like this. Not even my magic will put my arm back together. Because of how the wound was made. This part of my very existence was cut off by a Dread Lord. I regenerate my power quicker than i bleed it away. Its not like its urgent. I just cant be myself in front of people without being whole. |

Rohan Azuron Messy hair, unshaven face Status: Determined
Compression Blast: 5/5 - 0/3 Psiblade: 2/2 - 0/2 Just like Arachne, Venus had a very high standard of Ed, which in turn, meant the same for Rohan. That was what Rohan thought, as she didn't seem to need many words or actions from him to trust him deeply. The idea of upholding that standard was a little overwhelming for Rohan, but at the same time, it was nice to know he was looked in such eyes, and by goddessses no less! Of course, that also made him appreaciate them more and willed him more to help them as much as he could. Gossiping about the people that were helping him was not at all in his head, so no trace of doubt was heard when he replied "Understood." What he saw next had Rohan quite surprised, as Venus showed him her worrysome wound "Must've been a damn strong thing to do this to her", he thought as he looked at the end of her lacking arm for a couple of seconds. Rohan's pondering was more than correct, as Venus told him a Dread Lord was the responsible. Not wanting to betray the trust he had earned, Rohan immediatly stood up as he told Venus "Say no more, I'll start looking right away. Do you have any suggestion on where to start?" filled with determination. |

She smiled and nodded as she put her gauntlet back on. Checking to make sure the wound was invisible. "In order to keep it a secret, I need to give you a wound similar to mine, and ask people to try and heal it. If they can heal it, bring them to me. I just want to give a finger a little papercut on a knifes edge. Which is your weaker hand? Present it to me? If you allowed her to do it, she would look at your most in tact fingerprint. She pulled a very dark looking dagger from a small chest. The moment you saw it it gave you terrible vibes. You started to get the urge to run away. Danger sense had painted it was certain death. Just a simple knife! Do not be afraid. That feeling is due to its power. I gave a lot to the Dullahan for a weapon that could destroy the soul. But this will only harm it a little. Just a little cut that wont do to much will suffice. If you let her, she would do a tiny, one in incision across the finger. It burnt on a level more than just pain. It stung, but not very much. Though, you could definitely feel it. You didnt bleed blood. You bled this grey energy not unlike that which Venus bleeds. Though not nearly as much as she bleeds. If they can fix that, then they might be able to help. |

Rohan Azuron Messy hair, unshaven face Status: Slightly, yet at the same time, badly hurt
Compression Blast: 5/5 - 0/3 Psiblade: 2/2 - 0/2 Rohan looked hesitant when he heard Venus' plan to keep her own wound a secret, as dying from such a wound was not crazy to think, even on a smaller scale. "G-Go ahead, it's this one", he answered, while slowly but surely extending his left hand to the goddess, not so visibly nervous at the moment. That, however, changed when Venus pulled out the tool for the job. Rohan's entire body twitched, as an immense shiver ran down his spine. He didn't know exactly what, but something was seriously wrong with the dagger in front of him. In an effort to not show so much of his fear, Rohan's mind stayed focused on the words of encouragement instead of on the menacing blade nearing him... Unsurprisingly, the small wound hurt a lot. A pain greater than any near normal injury of that size would cause, making Rohan grimace for a few moments. Luckily for him, it didn't need to be extended too much across his body. With the cut done, Venus put away the dagger, which was extremely relieving. Rohan took a deep breath as he examined his finger, wondering what exactly was his body losing for a moment. Giving up on that matter before things got unnerving again, Rohan asked Venus "So... Anything else before I start?" looking more composed now. |

She thought. And thought. But she was turning up more blanks than she wished. "There are schools in the city which dedicate themselves to Xeraphic powers. Pyromancers, Ice Makers, Healers. New Pantheon even runs a school for Channeling.If you want to find healers in large amounts, thats where I would go first. |

Rohan Azuron Messy hair, unshaven face Status: Disgusted
Compression Blast: 5/5 - 0/3 Psiblade: 2/2 - 0/2 Venus didn't seem to be that aware of where to look for a solution for her problem, which was understandable, she wouldn't be asking for his help otherwise. Regardless, it was time to go, so Rohan stood up. Before heading for the exit, he said to Venus "I guess I'd better get sta-" Rohan was not able to finish his sentence, as all of a sudden, a terrible pain extended across his abdomen and head, followed by a very intense nausea that complimented the sudden appearance of something akin to blood in his mouth. Rohan couldn't help but spit the disgusting liquid on Venus' floor as he stood still to control the reflexes his body was showing. Rohan would address Venus a few moments after "...Is... Is this due... to the cut?" |

She immediately looked quite concerned as Rohan reacted to pain. She moved closer, only to feel it as well. She spit into the palm of her hands. Blood? No. It isnt. I dont know whats happening." Only a few moments had passed before you heard sirens begin to go off. "Attention all entities, the IAHD has issued an emergency evacuation order in the wake of an unknown event. All beings please calmly report to the nearest Cataclysm Shelter and wait for further notice. This message will now repeat." She looked up and rushed you with her out of the room. Meeting up with a few beings as they all make their way out. Not even all Goddesses. Some Gods as well, and normal people. I need to help with the evacuation. Your MHPT should have the location Marked there. Go. You were sent out into Karn City. On your way out, you could see why it was so bad. Blood was raining from the sky. |
