Attaining Harmony

[Raneth]

A roleplay between

@Idea and myself.
​

Night had befallen the city and the cresent moon provided only enough light atop the one barren hill, where battles are often taken to, in order to prevent civilian casualties and allow for more moving space for fighters. This night was such a night. Beams of dark energy shot from one side, while young men and women dodged and charged from the other side, combing their talents with one another or using power suits to augment their physical strengths. Ariya stood in the middle of her comrades. Close enough to the front line to provide quick support, and protecting those who had long-ranged abilities or tools and acted as snipers.


She was panting as the battle went on. It had already been over forty minutes and the monsters wouldn't cease. More and more seemed to spring up. For the first time in months, they had gathered in the nearby square and this prompted an emergency calling to agents. Often, they were in small groups or were singular units that had to be dealt with by solo hunters or teams of up to three individuals. Most of the youth in the organization weren't properly trained to handle larger scale battles, as much of these were faced in generations passed.


Her thoughts were interrupted as a bolt made it's way in her general direction, likely aiming for a shooter or spell caster behind her, closer to the tree line. Ariya grit her teeth and forced her hands out, an orange sheet quickly forming out twice her arm span in length. She physically grimaced as the bolt bounded off, heading upward instead. Immediately she released the barrier and panted further. How much longer would this last? She looked to others that held the same position as herself and could see they were worse for wear themselves. Her attention turned to the warriors on the front line, and realized that most of them had grown far more sluggish. While the numbers of the monsters had dwindled, there still had to be around a dozen of them.


(( @Idea Alright, here it is. Hopefully it's something you can work with. ))

Everything was....Rage. This people, they kept coming at us. Why couldn´t they understand? We didn´t want to harm them! We just wanted to help them, take their pain away. We knew how it hurt to wonder around this world, dragging ourselves every day, trying to accomplish the impossible. Why did they struggle then? We were gonna take every bad thing away. Every bad thing.


I took a step forward and raised my hands. A black circle appeared on the ground, shining in the dark of that abandoned mill of the barren hill, where everyone was pointlessly fighting. They should just give up, no...they could help! Help me!

"Why won´t you help me?" I said, voice echoing inside. I screeched, and more of my friends began spawning from it. I was so happy to get them to help me end it. Well, I wouldn´t discriminate. I was a little mad those soldiers weren´t helping me, but nonetheless, they deserved to have their pain taken away too: They were just doing their jobs.

One particular soldier got much closer, though. He raised his green glowing broadsword and I smirked. He was volunteering! With a lower screech, I commanded my friends to hold him tight. They leaped on him, and he thanked them by taking away their pain with one swoop. How I wished he could take MY pain away. It was tempting, my heart was beating so slowly and my lungs were as if rotten...It hurt so much to just move, every bone of my body was likely broken, every nerve stabbed, every muscle twisted.


But I would have to wait. I raised a hand, and my fingers grew, right before I stabbed them through his head. He seemed to smile as life left him, with the blood flowing down now his pain was away. I should hurry and get around the rest of them. I screeched yet again.
