Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (Priv, Kira, NK)

Kiru sighed as he looked through the many, MANY scrolls of the combined knowledge of the Dragons he was allied with. Its not that they didn't have any information, more that they had way too much information and sorting through it would be legitimately impossible. He liked having a big open cave for a safe house, but it made info gathering way more difficult then it really had a right to be. He exited the large storehouse, the 3rd he'd been to this morning, and stretched his arms back. He needed a break to focus on training or something along those lines. His coat could definetly use some tinkering as well to improve the seals within it. Cracking his knuckles as he pondered, he began wandering in search of hether Kira was around or not. She probably could be somewhat helpful in this endeavor.

Kira sat calmly, in the center of a large clearing in the forest, eyes closed as she formed the seals quickly for the summoning technique. Beside her now sat the two faewild drakes, confusion clear on their faces. "Why have we been summoned?" Des asked, the trademarked disinterest evident in her voice.

"Not sure. I felt I would need to.... Is Kiru within the faewilds?" The response came in two parts. Su stretched her wings, lifting up into the air to shift about the sky, spinning in mid air with her head shaking. It wasn't exactly a clear answer due to her movement, but thus is the way for the small blue drake.

"No." In opposition to Su's exicement Des answered with no emotion evident in her voice.

~Kiru. where exactly are you?~

Kiru was suddenly aware of the voiceof Kira in his head, and was adequately suprised. Sighing as he rememberd the item keeping comtact between them, he thought about his response. ~Within the caves of my dragons. Kinda just wandering at this second looking for scrolls for Space/Time. Did you need something?~

He assumed she wanted him to do something or was going to give him either helpful or unhelpful advice. On subjects she didn't have a clear grasp on her advice was usually a bit abstract but perhaps he'd get something useful, or at least somethingto do. It was awfully boring around here.

~Summon me there if you would. We have things to discuss, and more importantly I have an incredible technique i've unlocked that I believe you'd be interested in. ~ The Danse Macabre, Amber's hidden technique which was considered the perfected art of the nara clan upon it's creation had spent far too many years lost to missing memory. With it's rebirth, came an incredible gift she needed to share with her student, and master the creation of.

~Selene. Amber. I believe it's about time we worked on this technique. I'll be summoned into Kiru's land shortly. I'll bring Amber first. Selene you stay where you are to keep us grounded~

As Kiru prepared to continue the conversation the cave seemed to be rumbling. A great horde of Dragons were racing off to the south of the cave. Was someone..invading? That was supposed to be impossible. The sheer amount of power necessary to enter without the dragons will would be...well it would be more then even Kira had ever produced. He wasn't fully equipped for battle, but there wasn't a way to get past the dragon horde. Their had to be thousands, you'd need an army 10 times over to even consider getting in. From the bright flashes he could see though, that whoever, whatever, it was. It was making progress.

The walls shook and he exchanged looks with Kira as they prepared to race off and see, when the battle was suddenly over. Just as they began to move, a maelstrom of red and black flames made everything in front of him, all the dragons within the fight and presumably the intruder itself, vanish. Kiru was stunned. "What in the hell..."
Then, like the sky opening up, the bodies of all the dragons began to reaper. Each in a similar stat of mortal injury or death, covered in jagged, evil looking blades. Thousands of the beasts were dead in moments. Within the crowd of bodies, Kiru could not identify where the intruder was. Could he have been killed as well? Kira was in an eerie silence, her eyes scanning the surroundings with their usual perception. Sorrow Flashed into her hands with its usual cry. As the last bodies finally appeared, another figure re-entered Kiru's vision. Already moving, he had appeared far closer, just about 30 feet.

The man looked a lot like Kiru. He had dark blue hair, and eyes like steel. He wore armor reminiscent of Knights from old stories, Though it was a threatening mix of obsidian black and shining gold, with a long black cape with gold edges. He stood at about 6'2, but his build was tough to discern from the armor. His eyes held an expression of boredom, as if this entire thing was beneath him. He made no move to converse with either of the ninja before him, however seemed to be studying Sorrow intensely. He glanced at the woman next to him, able to see her eyes working up a plan. However, he stopped his movements. Lifting a gloved palm, Kiru only heard him utter one word.

"Boring..."

Then it was as if the sky opened up with steel. Kiru was not perceptive enough to even see how many blades came from seemingly nowhere, it was all he could do to block or dodge them. Within seconds of the swarm of blades, he found himself out of their primary range of fire. The battle seemed to be between Kira and the man. Kiru looked for an entrance to re-join the fight and help, but there seemed to be no openings in the rain of blades. Over the torrent of ringing steel, the last thing Kiru heard was the mans voice, sounding more interested apparently in his battle with Kira then when he initially started it. The phrase he used was not something Kiru recognized, but the way he said it sounded like a command. The only legible part Kiru heard was, "Unlimited Edge Works!"

Kiru wasn't close enough to be affected by.. whatever that was. However the concussive force from the sudden maelstrom of energy knocked him cleanly into a wall with enough force to render the boy unconscious. He wouldn't wake for hours, once again missing out on an important confrontation. When he finally regained consciousness, the fight was over. Whatever had started with that maelstrom had ended. All the blades that the man had summoned seemed to all be rusting and decaying at an extraordinary rate. Wherever that man was, he seemed to have disappeared from the cave. The second wave of dragons were helping their fallen comrades and carting off the dead. Kiru tapped the painful spot on the back of his head and looked around for Kira, who no doubt was around. However..what he found was all wrong. Kira, and what only could be the other parts of the trinity, had been slain. Kira herself was the only one recognizable, only a single wound to her throat was to the back of her head was seen. He rolled her over in a panic, but he knew it was already too late. Once again, he was alone. He had failed.

The curse that inhabited his right eye began to glow a sinister red. Kiru was unable to properly express the anger, sorrow, or self hatred he currently possessed. All he could do was slam a hand into the dirt next to him as tears streamed down his face.



(This is mostly a story post for a completely new plot because Kira is never logging on again.)

Apparently claiming all of Kiras weapons/armor/dojutsu

EXIT

No post was made of her fully quitting the site, until that point a death scenario cannot be written out for her. Staff is reaching out to her to see if she is quitting for real, or just taking some time off. As far as her spoils if it comes down to it, large amounts of her character was called into question, as for what spoils you can obtain, is still under review as her fey weaponry has been voided along with all summons. Please be patient with us whilst we work through this dilemma, thank you.

Ok. Kira pretty much told me to kill her so I did it in a way that would not hurt Kiru's plot and give Kira implied badass death. But i'm fine waiting on if she comes back.

That's perfectly fine, we just need to make sure it's what she wants as we have no written proof she's gone.

(Based on PMs, ill just claim Stone of Gelel and end thread if thats ok.)
