Remnant
OOC: For anyone. I wanted to hold this surprise in, but I really want to RP with my "New" character. You'll understand when you read the opening paragraph.
He had no idea what to do now. He had survived, but for what reason? Why was he spared when everyone else had died? Nilarek looked down at his claws as they drew small circles in the dirt beneath him. He had Aelir's body, but Aelir himself was no longer alive. He had made sure of that. Nilarek remembered that night well, the swells of energy that lit up the night, the cries of both Rider and Dragon as they entered the void together. The scream of Shruiks as he met his own end. Keralin... My goal was do join you. But now... Was that really my goal, or what it his. Nilarek had felt the corruption being drawn from him as Keralin's life slowly drained. Is power my goal now? Is caring for these people my goal? Am I good or Evil? "I FOUND YOU!" Screamed a nearby voice. Nilarek turned and saw the two people had been refering to bearing down on him. Taliear, with his jaw open, fire erupting deep within his throat, and Hayren, surrounded by magic. Nilarek moved quickly, avoiding the inital attack and scrambling to face his attackers. Hayren and Taliear hit the ground hard, both stunned for a moment before they turned on the one who was responsible for their father's death. Both of them. "Die you monster!" Hayren screamed, reaching for his bow and arrows. He decided what element to use on his bows almost instantly, something learned from old friends. Light. He fired in rapid succession three arrows, Taliear sprinting along the ground, letting loose his fire once again.
Hayren and Taliear remembered that day as well, the day their father plunged his sword into his heart. The portal to the Shadow Realm, the power of both Dragons and the Shadow Realm combining. The Shadow Portal that slowly crept towards them, the thousands of shadowy hands that clutched everything they could. The slow words of his father. Hayren wore Keralin's swords now, and the last pieces of strange metal that Keralin was able to make. He would kill this shade, the last remnant of the Shadow Realm.

Re: Remnant
OOC: Anyone include me? =)
Elfrida walked slowly, not exactly sure where she was, and not really caring. Suddenly Elfrida gave a start as she hear a scream of sorrow, and rage. Emotions Elfrida knew quite well. When a feel of magic came into the air, Elfrida felt she had to see what was happening. She arrived in time to see an elf fire three arrows at what appeared to be a dragon. Something felt strange about this dragon, but Elfrida ignored it, and moved quickly to catch the arrows, using a sunburst to completely destroy them. The darkness within Elfrida stirred, but she forced it down, unwilling to resort to it's power when she felt she had enough without it. Elfrida faced the elf. "I don't know what pain he has caused you, but why do you fight in this manner?" Elfrida asked, quite experienced in the matter of revenge. "There are better ways of going about destroying those you hate." Elfrida grimaced in pain as Ameris suddenly came speeding up, and landed on her shoulder - hard, with claws out. Did I miss anything? the hatchling sized dragon asked, digging her claws angrily into Elfrida's shoulder at being left behind. Again.

Re: Remnant
OOC: Oh for the love of... I thought I hit post for this already. Sorry bout that.
Hayren and Taliear both looked at the new-comer with what one could call unrestrained rage. "GET OUT OF OUR WAY! I will not see this THING hurt any more of those I hold dear!" Taliear growled with Hayren, and added his own statement. He will pay for killing BOTH of our fathers! And we will not have anyone, ANYONE, get in our way! With that, Taliear let off a torrent of fire at the new-comer. Hayren jumped off of Taliear back while he roasted the new-comers and drew his father's blades. He may not ave his father's talent, but he had made sure he was prepared for anything before coming here.
Nilarek would've run at the sight of the two, enraged beyond reasoning, but he could feel what lay within the new-comer. He was no stranger to evil, though for some reason he couldn't just leave those poor boys to die here like this. Don't attack them please! They're so blinded by rage don't know what they're doing, or who they're up against! Those type of words sounded strange evil to Nilarek. Did that mean he was evil or that he was taking the first steps towards good?

Re: Remnant
OOC: That's ok, I've been gone for a week...
Elfrida touched Ameris' mind, and the dragon jumped from her shoulder, using magic at the same time to block the fire. Elfrida was almost overwhelmed by the torrent of emotions coming from the dragon, and rider pair, but forced them away, knowing they would only feed her darkness. Elfrida felt the pairs rage begin to become a part of her. She grimaced, and blocked their feelings so she wouldn't attack the one they were attacking. Elfrida was surprised when she was requested - or more like demanded - not to attack the pair. As you wish. she replied, putting up protection barriers around the dragon like creature, Ameris, and herself. When Elfrida noticed the drawn blades she sighed. She could do nothing against those unless she allowed darkness to control her - which she refused to do. Elfrida shifted into the form of a cat, knowing that was the only way without using magic, or darkness that she could defend against blades. Put your weapons away. Elfrida said coldly to the rider.

Re: Remnant
Nilarek knew he had to do something, anything to get those two to stop attacking the stranger. Their anger was supposed to be directed at him! Not any others. Why did that make him feel the way he did? Just what am I feeling? He couldn't think with this muddle of emotions in his head, they all seemed to take him away from what needed to be done. Finally, a familiar emotion began to take him. One he could handle. Anger. Nilarek finally could think and he suddenly knew what he needed to do. He growled and threw himself at Taliear, pinning the distracted dragon to the ground, putting his teeth around his neck. STOP THIS NOW OR I WILL KILL HIM! He screamed.
Taliear hated this thing. To have it touching him made him want to tear off any scales that came in contact with it. But having it's jaws around his neck did make him calmer. He would kill this thing, but not with rage. Hayren stopped as well, swords in his hands. All he wanted to do was tear that thing's head off. He suppressed what anger he could. "Fine." He said to the new-comer, sheathing his swords once again. "But let me tell you this, I will kill that thing if it's the last thing I do."

Re: Remnant
Elfrida changed from her cat form, almost in relief. Switching forms had gotten quite hard after Elfrida's first encounter with darkness. Ameris landed on Elfrida's shoulder, and dug her claws in. It's not very nice to refer to others as things! she said angrily. Elfrida glanced at her dragon. "They have every right to." she said quietly. "They would not have this kind of hatred if they did not." Ameris whacked Elfrida with her tail, surprised that her rider had actually spoken back to her for once. Elfrida ignored Ameris, and looked at the rider. "If you want revenge then go about it calmly, rather than in a blind rage." She said with little emotion. "Or else you will destroy your life the way I did." Elfrida took away the magic barriers, but prepared to put them back up in a moment's notice. "If you do not mind me asking, then how did this all come about?" Elfrida asked, wanting to understand the emotions she felt pouring from the dragon, and rider pair. Ameris jumped off Elfrida's shoulder, happy for the first time that she hadn't grown from the time of hatching, as she was small enough to hide behind her 'rider'. Somehow she felt as if everyone there could easily crush her despite her powerful magic which had stunted her growth.

Re: Remnant
Nilarek couldn't hold onto the anger, no matter how much he wanted to. It just kept escaping him. He had to loosen his grip on Taliear as he spoke. Words coming from his heart were difficult, why did he want to be good? What was the point?
Hayren saw the wisdom in the stranger's words. The dragon hatchling seemed a little odd, but Hayren didn't particularly care at that point. A mystery for some other time when Nilarek was finally dead. "You want to know? Fine. For all of my life, my father, Keralin, always kept trying to train me to be able to defend myself. It was only when I first met Nilarek, who was in a human form when I first met him, that I knew why. The Shadow Realm had corrupted my father once, and although the Shadow within him was removed, the taint couldn't be destroyed. So it was moved. And has been moving for hundreds of years trying to find my father. When it found my father it tried to reunite itself with him, to corrupt him once again. But his strength and the strength of his allies drove him off time and time again. One day though, Nilarek found Taliear's father, Aelir, and infected him. That day was hard... I don't remember too much of it. What I do remember though, was the pain my father felt. His screams of agony as Nilarek poisoned the link between rider and Dragon. I also remember the words of my father. The last words he would ever speak." "My son." Keralin said. "I'm sorry for bringing this darkness upon you. He won't stop, not ever. Not until he is within me or until I am dead." "And you know what he did then? He took these swords!" Hayren gripped the swords that he held around his waist. "And he drove them into his heart!" Hayren was crying at that point, tears rolling down his face.
Nilarek removed his jaws from around Taliear's neck, his face looking off in the distance. The Shadow that had corrupted thousands of creatures, consumed millions of lives, was irrevocably linked to Keralin. When those swords took Keralin's life, they also took the life of the Shadow. The true end of the Shadow Wars. What was left though, was me. Hundreds of Spirits once corrupted by the Shadow, now left in a stranger's body with all the memories of what had been done through me. A shade inside a Dragon's body.

Re: Remnant
Elfrida felt the one in dragon form, who was not a dragon keep losing his anger, replacing it with a desire of some sort. She looked at him, beginning to understand his feelings. He wanted to be good as much, or more so than she did, but he had seen more evil, than even Elfrida, though she had the deepest darkness in her imaginable. Elfrida turned her complete attention to the elf rider. For once, Elfrida's hard, emotionless face softened. "There is no life dearer than the one that is already lost is there?" Elfrida said it as a question, and a statement, already knowing her own answer for that. "But if Shadow was destroyed for all, wasn't the sacrifice of one, or even two worth it?" Elfrida asked the last bit softly, thinking how often she thought of destroying herself, and Darkness at one time, but she still felt she must cling to life, and so she allowed her darkness to rampage awhile longer. "Your father would not have done what he did unless he knew the world would be made better by his decision. If he had waited but a day longer how many more would have been killed by Shadow?" Elfrida knew what she said wouldn't be comforting to the rider, but she didn't mean for it to be. Elfrida looked at the shade. "Now it is all over, and you are free. You were given a great gift by this rider's father." she said in an even tone, betraying no emotion. "You have been given the chance to redeem yourself, even if that was not intended. How will you use the life that you were given?" Elfrida felt Ameris hit her leg hard with a claw. At least show concern, and don't be emotionless when talking about sensitive subjects! the dragoness scolded her 'rider.' Ameris peeked out from behind Elfrida. Sorry about her trampling on your feelings. I'm still training her to show correct emotion Ameris told the others, before whacking Elfrida again for a reason known only to herself.

Re: Remnant
Hayren barely heard the words from the stranger. He didn't want to admit it to himself, but he was right. "But we were winning. There was another way to beat the Shadow, all our allies... Light kills the Shadow, and although we were doing it slowly, there was another way. We could still have them! There is only one thing left of the Shadow, and that is the Shade that is infecting the body of our father. I will not rest until the infection is finally cured."
Nilarek wanted to cry. It was strange. Such sadness. What was it good for? It was debilitating and pathetic. He had killed plenty of those who cried at the last moment before he killed them. He had hated them. That hadn't changed. I don't know. Was the evil I committed part of me, or was it purged with the Shadow. I'm feeling emotions I've never felt before, all of them so confusing that it has my body working in such strange ways. My stomach feels clenched, my eyes want to water, I want to destroy something, I want to feel normal again! I don't know what's happening to me, am I good or evil? What is my true purpose?
Taliear was still trapped on the ground, listening to al these words, yet none of them he wanted to hear. It was only after he felt something wet land on his cheek that he focused. How long had Nilarek been crying? Evil people never felt loss, never cried. What was different? What is your name? Taliear finally asked, curious as to who these two were.

Re: Remnant
Elfrida shook her head slightly, speaking in an even tone. "But Light sometimes causes it to grow..." Elfrida knew her ability to use Light magic had given Darkness a better chance at controlling her completely. "You cannot always trust Light to be victorious over Darkness or Shadow." Elfrida suddenly felt a strange torrent of emotions touch her, and she grasped at her heart, even though she knew that would not stop them. Elfrida looked at the dragon-shade. One moment he was angry, the next filled with desire, and now... Sorrowful? The emotions, and mental pain was so much, that Elfrida thought her heart would explode. Elfrida forced the feelings away. Feeling others' pain could be hard sometimes... When the dragon asked Elfrida, and Ameris there names, the small dragon was quick to answer. I am Ameris. Pleased to meet you! Doing a small dragon bow in respect. Elfrida looked at the dragon for a moment before responding. "I am..." Elfrida paused. She couldn't remember who she was. She somehow wanted to say three different things at once, and no longer knew which was true. "I am not exactly sure at the moment about who I am." Elfrida said, slightly confused, wondering how she could forget her own name. Ameris looked in alarm at Elfrida. What do you mean you're not sure? Did I hit you too hard? Ameris stared at her 'rider' a moment before understanding where the confusion had come from, and quickly introduced Elfrida to the others when she finally did. This is Elfrida, my rider - or more like ride. I apologize beforehand for her bad manners. Elfrida glanced at Ameris. "May I ask who you three are?" Elfrida asked the others.

Re: Remnant
Taliear pushed Nilarek off of him violently, standing up on his claws. He still wanted to bathe himself in fire to cleanse himself but he still couldn't shake the feeling of pity for Nilarek. You're an abomination Nilarek, simply a remainder of an Evil that should have been destroyed.
Nilarek fell to the ground, unwilling to fight back against the young dragon. I am the remainder of the Shadow creature Shruiks, the embodiment of Fury. My name is Nilarek, the polar opposite of Keralin. At least when the Spirits inside me were corrupted by Shadow. These are the sons of Keralin and the body I now inhabit. Aelir.
Hayren screamed out, "Don't you dare say their names! You have no right to speak their names!" Hayren stood there for s moment before taking a deep breath, trying to get his emotions back in check. "My name is Hayren, son of Keralin, and this is my partner, Taliear, son of Aelir. Keralin and Aelir were a bonded pair when they were alive."Something hit Hayren then, not physically but something he hadn't been paying attention to before. "Why do you hurt you rider like so? Can you not feel it?"

Re: Remnant
Elfrida felt a strange pity, and sadness for Nilarek. Taliear had called him a remainder of something Evil, something very few liked to be called. Even worse is being the beginning of a great Evil. Elfrida thought. Elfrida looked at Nilarek. "Never call yourself the remainder of anything!" she said, almost vehemently. "You are not them. You are you. If I am around someone I want to know who they really are, not about what they are. There's a big difference. Who are you really, Nilarek?" Elfrida glanced at Hayren. "The loss will always be painful." she said. "Don't try to get used to the feeling. You will only fail. I know from experience."
Ameris smiled at Hayren. You mean like this? she asked, hitting Elfrida with her tail. Ameris became serious, almost angry. Of course I can't feel it! she said, giving Elfrida an angry look. Elfrida used magic to change our bond without my permission. Elfrida didn't return Ameris' look, not wanting to get back into the old argument of whether she had been right to do so or not. "Quit complaining." Elfrida told Ameris. "You would have killed yourself by now if I hadn't done that." Ameris still looked a little angry with Elfrida. I wouldn't hit you if you hadn't done that! Ameris stated, before ignoring her 'rider'. Ameris looked at Taliear. You never have these types of problems with your rider, do you? she asked.

Re: Remnant
Hayren looked at the pitiful creature that was Nilarek, who was sprawled on the ground. He looked so pathetic lying there, unmoving. Hayren wanted to pity him, but he hated him so much. He had sorted his emotions already, he knew what he wanted to do, what he had to do. But seeing him like this... He had to ask himself. Do I want him dead because he's evil or because I want someone to blame? All of the emotions he had been repressing for so long burst forth in him. The most overwhelming of them all being the sadness that he felt. He felt the tears run down his face, but he didn't cry. Taliear walked over to Hayren and wrapped himself around his rider. We sometimes argue but we never go so far as to hurt each other. We spend more time as each other than just with each other if that makes any sense.
Nilarek looked at them, lifting his head only slightly from his position on the ground. Yesterday, I would have answered that immediately and probably have killed you afterward. Now? I have no idea. Shades in history have always been ruthless killers, angry at the world. I've been angry at the world for so long that it's finally worn itself out. All that's left in me is nothing. I don't know who I am anymore, the only thing that I have to go on are the Spirits inside me and the body I inhabit. Nilarek suddenly realized something then. I have always been told who I was, and now there's no voice telling me what I should be. I'm as lost as a dog on a leash who now has no master. The thought began to enrage him. Being so helpless like that. Who am I, you ask? Nilarek's voice changed, becoming more confident. I am reborn. I am the Phoenix that is reborn from my own ashes. I don't know who I am yet, but I won't let anyone else tell me who I should be. This is my choice, the choice that I have been denied my entire life.

Re: Remnant
Elfrida watched Hayren when she felt a torrent of emotions being released. He felt so sad. The pain of his sadness was so great, that even when Elfrida tried to block it out she felt the deep pain of this sadness. Elfrida clenched her teeth. "Let it all out Hayren. Don't hold any of it in. Let it all go, or you will not be able to live again." Elfrida said nearly too softly to be heard. One of Elfrida's eyes changed to blood red as she tried to block the pain of Hayren's sadness. She grimaced, knowing it meant her Darkness was growing stronger.
Elfrida looked at Nilarek. "You are who you want to be!" she told him. "Don't let anyone else ever decide who you are!" Elfrida was thinking at the same time that she was the opposite of Nilarek - losing who she was to what Darkness wanted, rather than making herself who she was. "You are not yet good, or evil, Nilarek. That choice is still before you. When you come there I hope that no one will remember you for what you were forced to be, but for who you really are!"
You must have a wonderful rider... Ameris said to Taliear, not knowing what type of pain she had been spared from feeling.

Re: Remnant
Ameris' words heartened Taliear, though he did feel a small amount of pity for the small dragon. We've been together since we were born. I don't know how the bond could be anything else, or how my rider could be anything else. Hayren barely felt the warmth that Taliear's body gave him as he wrapped himself around him. All he felt the was the reassuring presence that he was giving him. Whatever mental walls he Hayren tried to put up were worthless. He cried out in anger and sadness, the mix of emotions driving him to the ground. "DAD!" He cried out, as if his cry alone could call him back into this world. Something in Nilarek stirred as he heard the sound of Hayren crying out. Maybe it was a scrap of Aelir still within him, or maybe it was his flesh that made him feel it, but either way he felt something that was truly different from any other. He would later know this as compassion, but for the moment, all he knew was that Hayren's cry pierced him to his core. It angered him. This wasn't his choice. The longer he felt those emotions, the more he could block them from his heart. He would not be ruled by emotion like those pathetic fools were. His path would be one that he decided with a clear mind, nothing else. Shut up. He finally spoke, looking towards Hayren. You've had your life to live since you were born and now you waste it with tears? You're pathetic. I can understand that sadness that you feel, but I will not put up with such a pitiful display. Get up and keep walking!

Re: Remnant
Ameris watched the dragon, and rider pair, admiring them greatly after what Taliear had said. My rider doesn't even like dragons... Ameris said. It must be a wonderful thing to have grown up with your dragon rider from his beginning. Ameris felt sad for the pair, knowing they had lost a lot. They had been through so much in such a short time, and Ameris wanted to help them. But she felt helpless, never having really lost anyone like they had.
Elfrida stood silently in confusion. Part of her wanted to comfort Hayren, while another part wanted to laugh at his grief, and a third part wanted to tell him to quit crying. Elfrida had become one enough with the other two beings living in her head, that it was impossible which was really her thought, and which had belonged to one of the other two. When Nilarek spoke to Hayren part of Elfrida agreed wholeheartedly with him, while part wanted to hit him, and say that was the wrong approach. The third response Elfrida knew wasn't her, as it was only maniacal laughter.
Elfrida looked at Nilarek. "Sometimes crying is the only way to keep going on." she said seriously. "But sometimes it is what stops one from going on. It is a two-edged sword." Elfrida glanced at Hayren, trying to determine which category he fell under. "Stop blaming yourself, Hayren." Elfrida said, thinking she may understand Hayren better now. "Your father probably didn't expect, or want you to stop him."

Re: Remnant
Taliear shot a look of daggers at Nilarek, his anger building up once again. It wasn't encompassing like it was before, but he did just insult his rider. LIKE YOU WERE JUST A MOMENT AGO!? Taliear picked himself up from around his rider, adopting an aggressive stance. Everyone feels despair at some point in their lives and it's then that a person's true colors show! Despair. So that's what that feeling was. Forgive me if I offend you, but it's the only way I've known how to live my life. I've never had the chance to live any differently. I will live for my own pleasure. If that brings me to help others, then so be it. His own words. His own choice. Hayren stood up, tears still fresh on his face. "Everyone is taught in life, their parents teach them everything. Even Shruiks was taught by Keralin. There is nothing-" Hayren opened his eyes wide. There in the distance. A large power appeared from nowhere. It was more than he had ever felt before. It felt of the Shadow. Nilarek knew what it was, the memories were still fresh in his mind. He spoke what he felt. Zefanrac. It can't be... Aeraldi killed him.

Re: Remnant
Elfrida glanced at Taliear, wondering if she would have to bind him with magic. Elfrida looked at Hayren when he spoke. Her eyes hardened when he said that parents taught everything. All I learned from mine was despair. Elfrida thought darkly. Suddenly the feel of a large Shadow appeared. The Darkness within Elfrida seemed to be filled with delight, and suddenly it too surged in power, trying to equal that of the Shadow. Before it could do so Elfrida used Light energy to keep it from growing more. Elfrida looked in the direction of the Shadow. Part of her said it was a friend, but another part said a very deadly enemy. Elfrida wasn't sure which to believe.

Re: Remnant
Nilarek felt a surge of Shadow from behind him too, he turned his head to look at Elfrida. Nilarek had never been one to give any visible reaction, but now he could feel what lurked within the one that stood with them. When he spoke, he spoke directly to Elfrida, making sure his thoughts weren't heard by Hayren or Taliear. You... What have you done to yourself? Hayren couldn't stop looking towards what he had just felt. Such a power... Such... Evil. He reached out his mind towards what he had just felt, scared. That kind of Shadow was what had almost taken his father. What he felt though, was nothing. Not a single scrap of life remained. It was only then that he realized what Nilarek had said before. "What the hell is Zefanrac!"

Re: Remnant
OOC: Thx Aeraldi.
Long ago, Bahamut had met Nilarek in search of his purpose. He had told him that the power of the Shadow Realm could give that to him. Nilarek gave Bahamut that power and filled him with new meaning. The shade had taught him what he needed to know of the Shadow Realm. The ways to connect and use its power. Before he could learn anything more... the shade had vanished for many years. The new power that was given to him slept... and waited.
In the recent months, Bahamut felt the overall strength of the Shadow Realm began to dwindle and fade. Yet despite that he could feel the remainder of that power within him. What has happened? Most of the world's connection to the Shadow Realm grew thin...so thin that Bahamut could feel no one else connected. Why...? Bahamut needed answers... so he began to seek out the Shade Nilarek. Out of anyone, it would be him to have answers.
Bahamut seemed to be flying almost aimlessly. It took him a very long time...but he could faintly feel the familiar presance of Nilarek. Yet it was elusive... and there was something different about it. The connection with him had almost completely vanished. Bahamut hoped he could find him before it was too late. Something inside of him... a feeling kept burning. It was almost like a whisper. The longer and longer it went on... the more of the urge Bahamut had to corrupt others. He is near... I must make haste!

Re: Remnant
Elfrida looked at Nilarek, and responded in his mind. I gave up the hope that I could live without Darkness, and embraced it. What I have done is destroyed myself. At first I hated my Darkness, but now... I am almost one with it. Elfrida's eyes said she was content with her situation. Earlier that day she would have said she hated her Darkness, but now when it was stronger in the face of another Shadow, she knew she couldn't have survived this long without it. Elfrida looked in the direction of the one Nilarek had called Zefanrac. She felt a grim, dark smile touch her face, but Elfrida forced it away. This Shadow... It was almost as evil as Elfrida's Darkness - perhaps the same. Although Elfrida currently had enough control over her Darkness to hide the evil from others. In the distance Elfrida felt a slightly familiar presence, one from so long ago she wasn't sure who it belonged to. This presence too was tainted with Shadow. "As long as there is Light, Darkness will never cease to exist." Elfrida said out loud, a dark look in her eyes. "It will continue to regroup each time it is nearly destroyed, and will regain power. Who can hope to oppose it?"

Re: Remnant
Hayren looked at Elfrida, anger shining in his eyes. "And yet within the Darkness, light always finds a way to shine. Life always finds a way!" Hayren looked at Taliear, who in turn looked back at him. "Nilarek. From here on out, I am neither your friend or your enemy. What decisions you make from now, I will judge you by. You may have the body of our father, but with his death he gave it to you. If you waste the life he gave to you I kill remove it from you without hesitation." Hayren grabbed his bow, and used his unique type of magic to thin out his armor so that it covered not just his chest but his entire body. Hayren didn't know exactly what metal it was, but it was the easiest for him to bend to his will. Nilarek felt another presence coming, though he knew exactly who this one was. He barely heard either of them. Elfrida, I would get a control on what you have inside of you quickly before it decides to consume you. Especially now, because what you're about to come into contact with, not even I know the depth of that emotion. He then addressed them both, The ones on this small island have been opposing the shadow since birth, this one here has seen far more than he should have by his age. There are others, many others who have opposed me during my time. I will help kill this one with you, simply because I know the type of evil Zefanrac is capable of.

Re: Remnant
Elfrida listened to what Nilarek said, and knew he was right about her needing to take control of her Darkness, but still she delayed, not wanting to let it go. Elfrida almost laughed bitterly when Hayren spoke of light, and life. To Elfrida it seemed that light had nearly abandoned her. Yes, she had light within herself, but she had never let it grow, never let it help her unlike the Darkness. Elfrida finally said, "When the small Light shines, it will chase away the Darkness, and Shadow, but it must begin to shine in order to do so, and not remain hidden." Elfrida finally forced her Darkness away with her own power when Hayren said he would judge him from now, forward, and not the past. Elfrida wondered about how great Zenfanrac was, after hearing Nilarek's words. She felt her Darkness stir, and try to gain control in the presence of the approaching Shadow. Elfrida knew she was going to have a hard time holding the Darkness back, and opposing the shadow at the same time.

Re: Remnant
"The light always shines, but life and those who work with the Shadow get in the way and create the Shadow. If you don't seek the light yourself, you'll never find it." Hayren said before he even knew that he was saying it. His father's words rung through his head, his old teachings seeming more clear to him now than ever before. "He knew..." Hayren said softly."
Nilarek didn't know what kind of limits his body had yet, so he had to play this one down. He hoped that he would be able to. At least until the presence that he felt began to diminish and slowly fade. Nilarek wondered what kind of power would be able to contain Zefanrac. I need to find out what is happening. He said before taking off awkwardly. He thought about it a little and then asked the rest. You can come if you want, but I have to see this for myself.

Re: Remnant
OOC: I shall join up now, if that's alright. I would like to see where this goes. IC: Sirius rested on a rocky outcropping, but he was far from restful. His tail was twitching in agitation. He knew that something was wrong, but his magical pull wasn't sending him in any specific direction yet. It felt like he was supposed to wait, but he didn't know what for and it was frustrating him. Suddenly, his scales prickled and he sensed something dark nearby. Some dark magic, brought to life. He growled and stood up immediately, deciding to head in that direction. Although he was still quite young and inexperienced, Sirius couldn't stand dark magic or its wielders, and so he hunted it down when he could. Before he could head off, a scent reached him. Dragon... and some sort of two-leg. Some of the scent was familiar, but he was too far away to tell. He launched himself off his rocks and soared onward.
The dragon eventually grew near enough to recognize the smell of Taliear and Hayren... and Aelir? No, not Aelir anymore. Alna'ir had told him what had happened... what Nilarek now was. Realizing that his former enemy was near, Sirius growled again and moved faster. An unfamiliar dragon and rider were with the group, and he sensed some dark magic with the strange rider. It didn't seem like the especially threatening kind at the moment, but he couldn't be sure... not with Nilarek involved.
The white dragon burst into the airspace above the group, his scales flashing with bright light as he flapped his wings to slow himself. Nilarek! What are you doing here? he demanded, blue eyes flashing with veiled anger. Hayren, Taliear... what is going on? he said privately to the two, glancing toward them. He wanted to greet them as friends, but with Nilarek around that hardly seemed appropriate. He didn't say anything to the other dragon and rider for now. First he had to find out more about what was happening. The dark magic he still sensed strongly in the distance kept him on edge, but he forced himself to stay calm. Overreacting was the worst thing he could do right now.
