<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When she gave her input on the matter, Henri couldn't help but purse his lips and let out a disgruntled groan, "Why would their opinions change… do you think the barriers would still hold even though the ideas changed like that" he mumbled, he was still trying to find out the truth, what really went down in the aisle but he couldn't figure out a thing.

Someone they mourned, she had said. He turned his gaze to face her and frowned, "A suicide bomber then… what would possess them to even think of doing that. It doesn't make sense" but then again, a lot of things doesn't but it still happened anyway. How could they even begin to wrap their heads around that tragedy? "Exactly, it's like a planned attack. You know back then when generals and commanders would have a whole meeting on their strategies for war? This vanguard or that vanguard, the archers… the catapults, all of that were positioned strategically to help them win the battle. I'm guessing whoever did this really planned everything to the dot. No tracks, no debris, nothing we could trace back to them." </span></p>

"Isn't that what we think of when wars have been started for even less?" If there was one thing living this long has taught him, it's that people can be utterly selfish at times. "Then the term megalomaniac might not have been invented after all… either they want to control everything and everyone to shape its own empire or they just want to wipe every supernatural off the planet. Makes it hard to believe whoever behind this is a supernatural being themselves… could be a human but would they have the resources we do?" Aside from the humans in Evermore, he still has yet to come across humans who had a good relationship with other supernaturals or even scare them into submission, even here it's all because of the peace treaty. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He chuckled when she said she's been in one job for a thousand years, it's one of the reasons why he came to admire the nephilim. Not many could withstand the hit she did. "Sometimes it does make me wonder why they decided to stick around, I know about the better of the world excuse and whatnot but aren't they tired?" He has been a guard no more than 500 years and he was already a bit worn out sometimes, much less Octavia and the Aspects. The idea of not knowing what a voidling even looks like sent shivers down his spine, god he hated being faced with uncertainties that he couldn't even calculate the chance of success into. When asked if anyone told him how to defeat the lurkers, Henri shook his head and tightened his grip on his weapon, "Unfortunately no… but from what I've heard, it seems like only an aurazin can take it down, considering they're from similar realms and not ours. They had to be powerful if they're suddenly locked out of their homes…" A guttural growl emitted and he bit his lip, "What do you have in mind?

<p>She pursed her lips thoughtfully as she considered how someone could get into the isle when Ven’s magic prevented those who had impure intentions “Maybe their opinions changed?” it was the only way she could think about getting around it, if they turned their back on the oath they swore as a guard.

<p>She pursed her lips thoughtfully as she considered how someone could get into the isle when Ven’s magic prevented those who had impure intentions “Maybe their opinions changed?” it was the only way she could think about getting around it, if they turned their back on the oath they swore as a guard. She didn’t like thinking about this at all but they didn’t have a choice “Which means that someone we mourned...could have done this” she commented, thinking about the eerieness of that statement as they continue to walk. “The senseless attacks on the city though...it almost feels like this is an attack on the supernatural as a whole” she commented in a soft voice “Which explains why they’d wanna take us out first” they were protectors of the supernatural after all.</p>

She scoffed when Henri pointed out that Ven wasn’t as mature as he made himself out to be “I think I’d be bored if I spent 1000 years in a single job too…” she laughed “Oh wait” that’s exactly what she had done as a guard wasn’t it? “Yeah...they were all pretty young, mostly escaping the fate their family laid out for them...it wasn’t easy to be a woman in those times” she looked up at him and shrugged “You have to admire them though” they wouldn’t stick around if it wasn’t for believing in them after all.</p>
<p>She shivered at the mention of the voidlings, she’d heard about them from a few of the aurazin staying with them “Do you think that’s what we’re dealing with here?” she didn’t know what a voidling looked like or how you dealt with one, could they even be harmed? “We can’t handle the world falling apart right now” she commented in an annoyed tone under her breath, it wasn’t like they had enough to deal with as these attacks kept coming. “It’s chilling” she agreed with him and practically jumped back when another shadow came shooting across their views “It looks lost...like it’s looking for something it can’t find” she gripped her weapon tighter “Did the aurazin tell you anything about how to….defeat a voidling?” did they fight them?

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It was much more logical to go with that theory, having an insider dismantling their own operations is more likely than an outsider who knows nothing about what they do inside and how they cultivate their own security detail.

"Honestly when I thought about that, I'm a bit irked. How did someone like that ever pass the barrier Ven placed around the island…" he grumbled under his breath, he has been the Aspect of Realms' personal guard for over half the millennium now, and seeing his Aspect being driven into the other room hurts him just as much. It was like seeing a brother getting targeted. He pursed his lips slightly when she came with the two possibilities, "Maybe both. As an organization, we are in the way of whatever they want. If it's bad for the world, we will be there to try our best to prevent it, so either way, we</span> <b>are</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">a pain in their ass." So far, that's all he could see, whoever did this to them wanted to wreak havoc. That much is known. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://64.media.tumblr.com/97ae97e3460b89788fc5275c48ca0de8/tumblr_inline_nfz9raUrzS1szaa83.gif" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/97ae97e3460b89788fc5275c48ca0de8/tumblr_inline_nfz9raUrzS1szaa83.gif?profile=RESIZE_710x" width="240" class="align-left"/></a>"Once they get rid of us, who's going to stop them anyway? From the way I see it, it's a win-win situation for them." And that's why they needed to be on their toes. "Yeah well, sometimes I swear Ven is not as mature as he tries to paint himself to be before this" he couldn't help but roll his eyes when recalling the Aspect's mischievous tendencies. "I think they're just bored after governing this and that for a long while," what else could be the answer to it? "Wasn't Mal like… I don't know under 20 when she first became an Aspect? I know the sisters were quite young." He knew he wasn't the only one who evaded ever having to drink another bitter potion again. But a guards job is a guard's job, at the end of the day. "I believe they mean good, I mean… aren't they supposed to be the people who died unjustifiably? So… good souls. But the world may not want them to be here and honestly if they can come here, what's stopping from the ones they're protecting people from doing the same? I think they called it the voidlings or something… sounds ghoulish, not gonna lie." </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When she asked that, Henri cleared his throat and stared at her, frowning slightly as he shook his head, "I think that's trouble. Another realm imploding like that? What do you think that'll do to Earth? It must have side effects. The only reason why the universe isn't going through a wrap is because we actually have someone keeping the realms at bay… well… except the Veil for now… what happens when Ven can't even control the protection of that anymore?" Chaos, he imagined. He hated zombies with all his might, it was the one thing he hoped technology and mankind will not be stupid enough to create. He nodded and went to the opposite direction just like what Tavia suggested, "Tell me I'm not the only one feeling the eeriness."</span></p> The mention of having a mole…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2021-01-17:6610746:Comment:4238522021-01-17T11:46:39.801Z✓ Octavia Grace Ivakovhttps://eternalcityrp.com/profile/O
<p>The mention of having a mole made her frown a little, of course everyone had thought about it and debated it in their head, it made the most sense out of all possible explanations, that someone had been able to spy on them and know exactly where they would be at the right times. She pursed her lips and bit her lip “Somehow an insider seems more likely than anyone being able to break Ven’s protective barrier” it was designed to keep only those with the right intentions without the circle…</p>

She pursed her lips and bit her lip “Somehow an insider seems more likely than anyone being able to break Ven’s protective barrier” it was designed to keep only those with the right intentions without the circle “Honestly someone going this far...either we’re in the way of something they want to get hold of...or we’re the ones they’re after” she didn’t really know which but she got the feeling someone wouldn’t go to such lengths if it was a mere barrier. The moves this person made were cruel, designed to hurt.</p>

She tended just to hold her breath and hope for the best.</p>
<p>She nodded slightly “It feels...wrong…” she commented under her breath, even though she wasn’t an aurazin herself, she got this distinct sense that they weren’t supposed to be here but she was beginning to wonder if there even was a realm for them to return to later down the line. And if there wasn’t then what became of them? Would they be able to live peaceful lives in this world or would that cause them troubles? She sighed slightly “What do you think would happen if the veil imploded?” she questioned wondering what his guess would be, everyone had been thinking it was a possibility after all. She had to laugh when he mentioned zombies though “We’re had more than our fair share of species that can’t be reasoned with” she complained, the dragonkin was of course who she was talking about, they had finally managed to get them at bay after thousands of years.</p>
<p>She frowned slightly as her eyes followed the shadows, they seemed to show figures that were scared, running away from something, she glanced over to Henri and back to them as she noticed the panic “Maybe one of the aurazin? They ended up through here right?” she licked her lips “They’re running away from that direction” she pointed with her finger, of course meaning they needed to head in the opposite direction.</p> Octavia was very mature and t…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2021-01-16:6610746:Comment:4239062021-01-16T08:45:34.724Z✓ Seojun Ahnhttps://eternalcityrp.com/profile/Singularity
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Octavia was very mature and though it was a given because of how long she has lived and experienced life, still it amazes Henri. You can live for as long as you could but not everyone would have the same ability to compose themselves like that yet she seemed to make it seem so easy despite hurting inside.

You can live for as long as you could but not everyone would have the same ability to compose themselves like that yet she seemed to make it seem so easy despite hurting inside. A lot of them go through internal struggle but some could hide it just fine. "A part of me would be surprised to know how they know so much while the other is not, obviously they either had a mole before or they really tapped in us to find out" they live in the supernatural world where anything is possible so if technology created a wire tape, what couldn't the other side do? Especially when they're obviously playing with powerful magic. "I have to say they are either ruthless or calculative." </span></p>

Sometimes before they could even comprehend what's going on, another attack would be thrown their way. The therian refrained himself from laughing out loud upon seeing the disgruntled reaction from the Nephilim, the magic tonic was</span> <b>not</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">for anyone. "I'm not sure if it's supposed to make us feel better but I have a feeling Malva just made it her mission to make it as intolerable as possible just for the sake of it" It wasn't anything serious but the Aspect of Magic can be playful and mischievous at times, just like her other siblings. "Knowing her, she made it even bitter compared to previously…" The circumstances of their situation weren't looking well, they were still trudging through an endless mud pit, the surface was probably just waiting to swallow them whole when it could the moment they made a misstep. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">"That's what really worries me to be honest… not that they don't mean well, because we would've been able to detect that but because there are other species involved other than what's already existing on the living plane. What's next? At this point, all the realms might even clash into one another and we can't do much about that" Only the Aspects could, he imagined. But it would be hard to take care of something they had no knowledge of. "I hope zombies aren't real…" he added dismissively, "God I can't handle zombies." When the shadow advanced, he was ready to fight it off but then it dissipated which caused the therian to be confused, "What the hell…" Hearing Tavia's response, he averted his gaze onto a few others that were close by, "What is this… a memory from who?"</span></p> She blinked and considered it…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2021-01-02:6610746:Comment:4229702021-01-02T22:40:55.829Z✓ Octavia Grace Ivakovhttps://eternalcityrp.com/profile/O
<p>She blinked and considered it for a moment when he asked if becoming numb to danger was something that scared her, she bit her lip for a moment “Nothing about what we do is healthy, we live far longer than we were supposed to, we see more bad things than anyone should in a lifetime” she nodded and pressed her lips together “So I don’t think there’s a healthy way to handle everything we go through…but having one another, that’s what helps us to stay grounded, it gives us people to protect”…</p>

<p>“Makes you wonder how they know so much” she commented bluntly in response to his words “Either they were a guard in the past or we’ve been watched far longer than we think” everything that had happened felt calculated and cold, attacking in ways they knew would leave them powerless but also stripping away their will piece by piece. She pulled a face at the mention of tonics they needed to take to protect them from magic “I know it’s a case of beggars and choosers but do they have to make them taste so bad” she pulled a face, she swore everything related to magic was somehow unpleasant.</p>

Her hopes were that getting Mal’s magic back was the first step but it proved to be quite the steep and complicated step, still, it was something to focus on and that was what she needed right now, a direction to go and goal to push towards. “A new species we’ve never hard of is..rare” she commented in agreement, of course she understood how they managed to stay hidden “But they seem sincere...from what I’ve seen anyway...we aren’t the only collateral of all these attacks” other species and factions had been affected too.</p>
<p>She nodded in agreement “I think even they know that they’re not supposed to be here...that can’t be an easy reality to accept” she wondered if given a choice whether they would want to go back to the veil or stay, it had to be a complicated decision she was sure “Though I couldn’t blame them for wanting to be here either” their lives had all ended before they got to fulfil their wishes after all. She was on high alert as her eyes darted back and forth to the different shadows moving around them, one thing she immediately noticed was that they didn’t seem to be coming towards them, almost moving as though they were on a track “Possibly neither” she commented as her eyes narrowed and she stepped closer to reach for one, the shadow came towards her only to dissipate when it touched her arm and then reappear “Looks like it’s an illusion...maybe some sort of imprinted memory?” she frowned, maybe a clue of some sort?</p> "You have to pull out the wee…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2020-12-22:6610746:Comment:4227302020-12-22T06:25:50.138Z✓ Seojun Ahnhttps://eternalcityrp.com/profile/Singularity
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">"You have to pull out the weed from its roots, yeah. It'll be easier for you to create a plan from there and navigate through it." He could understand why they decided to send the guards to scout the area first and get as much information as possible before moving to another part of the mission. "Doesn't that scare you? Not what's happening because I'm pretty sure every single day is a living hell for us when we go through these insane tasks but… you know, you…</span></p>

Not what's happening because I'm pretty sure every single day is a living hell for us when we go through these insane tasks but… you know, you being numb to the prospect of it? Doesn't that scare you?" He wasn't sure where he was trying to reach with a question like that but if he was being honest, Henri was a bit worried for Tavia. Losing your life long partner can be very destructive and a part of him thought she returned to the job too fast and didn't allow herself the reprieve she needed. Of course, he respected her skills, this wasn't his first day in the guard, but he also didn't know her as well as others. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">"No, we wouldn't. It makes you feel like you're actually going with what they have mapped out. They know how we work… how we think, hell probably how we even doubt things." It makes him a bit cautious to be around guards themselves too. Who knows what goes on? If they were able to take a hit on one of their strongest, if not their strongest, then what's the odd for the rest of them? "I hope they're not counting on that" he mumbled silently as a response to her remark about them not backing down. Giving up is not in their dictionary so he was hoping they were able to fool their antagonist. "The patrolling roster has been growing rampant lately, I think Dom's gonna need a lot more of those… what did Mal call? Tonics? Yeah, those. The shield doesn't seem to be enough, especially when our opponent is well-skilled in magic." Was he worried when he also knew the Aspect of Magic isn't exactly in her best state? Yes, very much so. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/cc/e7/73/cce773d5090060a3ffd0bddb3941136c.gif" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/cc/e7/73/cce773d5090060a3ffd0bddb3941136c.gif?profile=RESIZE_710x" width="240" class="align-left"/></a>"We could at least put those barely trained guards on patrolling duty because I don't know about you, but maybe they can just take one therian to lead the group at every shift change instead of putting more manpower than necessary." He's been getting restless nights because patrolling over the borders of Evermore wasn't an easy job if he counted the times they came across uninvited guests. There were a lot of theories surrounding the veil, despite their ancient organization having a stronghold in the world, the veil is not something they were well-versed in, that was something they will need to go to the aurazin for guidance. "You know what I thought of when I heard there's a new species coming into town? It made me worried, too many of a certain look at the very center of it, and it could be a target. No, it</span> <b>is</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">a target. We've always had people joining but the amount of 'newcomers' for the past two months alone kinda worries me if they were purposely dispatched here." </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She had a good question, how long will this lock be going on? Was it temporary? Or could it be permanent? "I hope it's temporary. I'm not trying to chase the Aurazin out, but my tingly senses are telling me them being locked out of their home is going to bring a more disastrous effect than good." And they wanted to prevent that. Of course he saw that, ever since they arrived here, he's been feeling uneasy because it had been too silent and then there's sudden movement occurring as soon as they stepped closer into the center? Too suspicious. "Our 4 o clock… and there's another at the tail. Do we think it's hostile? Or friendly?"</span></p> “You can say that again” she…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2020-11-20:6610746:Comment:4216402020-11-20T21:41:16.037Z✓ Octavia Grace Ivakovhttps://eternalcityrp.com/profile/O

It was frustrating and disheartening to feel so far behind “But they’re also crazy if they think for a second that would mean we’re down and out” they would fight until the end for their cause and what they stood for would always live on, no matter what happened. “I know we need more people but now doesn’t seem like the right time to be putting barely trained guards out into the world” she spoke softly, so perhaps the recruitment wasn’t going so well because wasn’t sure it was the right thing to do “We’re supposed to protect people, you know?” she nodded thoughtfully.</p>
<p>She nodded when he commented about how dark magic was hard to predict and that they should be careful “It wouldn’t be a real mission if our lives weren’t constantly in danger from things we don’t understand” she shook her head in amusement but she did keep her gaze focused and ready for anything that might happen. He was right of course, when he put it like that it made a lot of sense why this guy would want to close the door to a species that was intended to help people on earth “Makes you wonder if maybe that place is the source of light magic...maybe shutting it off...shuts more than just the Aurazin in” that was a rather scary thought to have she would admit. “The question is...how permanent is this lock...will they even be able to go back?” and if they couldn’t, what would that mean. They weren’t supposed to live on earth after all.</p>
<p>Just then she swore she spotted a shadow moving in her peripheral vision and turned slightly, freezing as she tried to get her bearings “Did you see that?” she commented, looking over to Henri and then back to the spot she thought she saw something moving.</p> He is a supernatural and has…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2020-11-16:6610746:Comment:4209592020-11-16T02:13:00.412Z✓ Seojun Ahnhttps://eternalcityrp.com/profile/Singularity
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He is a supernatural and has always been one for centuries now, shifting into his leopard self and reverting back has been a routine for Henri.

In this case, they decided to send both him and Tavia to inspect the site which is pretty much covered with plenty of dark magic debris according to them. "Magic is so chaotic…" he murmured silently and took a few steps forward as his eyes scanned their surroundings carefully, you never know what was there to make contact. "You know… I find it ironic that they wouldn't pair us up for scouting. I mean you would be an ideal choice considering you're the Aspect of Magic's personal guard, aside from any diviner in the guard, you're the most experienced with magic. And I'm the Aspect of Realms' personal guard, someone who is now closely dealing with the Aurazin since they're from another universe… or world… or whatever we call it." Of course any mission is just as dangerous as the other, but magic is just plain creepy.</span></p>

"Well… if you tell them that and paint it on a brochure, it's not exactly an appealing organization. People have enough to deal with anyway… this probably doesn't interest them as much." He's not a saint either. He remembered joining because Aurelia, Octavia's sister, found him in his darkest moment. He recounted their steps as they walked further into the meadow, it's honestly inking him a bit because the silence was killing them. "Naturally, it would disperse but dark magic is often… unnatural, considering their elements used in enacting one. So I'm not surprised if there's a strong and lasting effect here somewhere… my only worry is that we are basically walking into a minefield right now" they had no idea what they might come across or step on. Literally.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He trailed closely behind her as they followed the device pointing towards the direction where magic seemed to be detected, "The veil is another world, another realm, different than here. It's a place not even we know of, I don't think even Ven knows much about it, except the Aurazin who practically lived there. Supposedly, according to what they told him, it's a place filled with energy, it's their home. Nothing bad, just plain good. I swear they're close to angels, if you wanna count guardian angels. Minus the wings. So… if it's a source of energy, why wouldn't we tie it as a possibility? Imagine it, you know a place with endless energy, if I was an evil mastermind, I would want to make use of it and hijack it, and for me to do that I need to make sure nobody interrupts me." Which would lead to a lockdown inside and out. Kicking the Aurazin out of the realm meant easy path for the perpetrator.</span></p> She glanced over at the talle…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2020-10-06:6610746:Comment:4179192020-10-06T22:00:40.263Z✓ Octavia Grace Ivakovhttps://eternalcityrp.com/profile/O
<p>She glanced over at the taller guard and shrugged her shoulders slightly “Malicious damage...power surge….magic likes to cause both of those things” whenever a strong spell was cast, it was usually the power supplies around which ended up blowing. Especially if the diviner wasn’t controlling the power they were wielding properly. She sighed under her breath when he talked about the work they did and how the missions related to magic gone wrong were usually the ones everyone wanted to avoid…</p>

Especially if the diviner wasn’t controlling the power they were wielding properly. She sighed under her breath when he talked about the work they did and how the missions related to magic gone wrong were usually the ones everyone wanted to avoid “That’s because no one wants to be hexed” she commented shaking her head, maybe being the personal guard of the aspect of magic had made her a little numb to the effects of magic, she didn’t mind being the one who needed to go out into the field because it meant they might be one step closer to the truth “Truth be told any mission is as dangerous as another” but it was their job to face up to it.</p>

<p>Naturally she had her hand on her weapon as they started to explore, the clearing they appeared in seemed peaceful and there were no clear signs of any magic being present but like Henri said, it was far too quiet and that gave her an eerie feeling in her chest that something was wrong “It’s been a couple weeks now, even if magic had taken hold into this place I’d have expected it to naturally disperse unless there is something here to hold it” which didn’t bode well, there was no sound, no animals, it almost felt like the place had been frozen in time. She took out on the the radar devices Iris had given her and held it up while, before long it started beeping, indicating a source of magic and so she started to follow in the direction it was pointing “What’s our running theory, someone purposely locked them out of the veil?” but what would be gained from that, she wondered.</p>
