[glow=white,1,500]A bright flash filled the plateau in front of the Forge, fading to reveal Taelyrn, a girl, and assorted medical equipment. He held the pieces of equipment in his tendril-like wings, and the girl in his arms. Looking up at the great doors, he nodded his head, picturing them opening. They did.
Walking inside, Taelyrn set down the small pieces of equipment. In hindsight, none of them would truly serve any purpose if this worked, but at the time, it had seemed to be a good idea. Still holding the girl, Taelyrn cleared a space on the large table that filled the central area.
Using his wings, Taelyrn then unhooked the chain that held his cloak shut, removing it and spreading it across the table's surface. Then, carefully, he laid the girl upon it. Her breathing was shallow, and he could feel her temperature dropping just while he'd carried her inside. He didn't have much time.
Rushing around the place, Taelyrn didn't know exactly what he was looking for. He assumed that, of all the Warrior Angels, Pyrodeus would have retained the Seals. Their marks adorned the surfaces of the Forge constantly, and knowing Pyrodeus, enshrining their artifacts in such a place would be an honorable memorial indeed.
As he rushed, Taelyrn continued to hope he could find what he needed. A sound of stone grating on stone stopped him in his tracks, however. Turning around, he watched as a large stone chest emerged from the wall, the lid popping open just an inch or so. Walking over, he lifted the lid slowly.
Within the chest resided the weapons and seals of all the Warrior Angels. Well, not all, he realized, as it seemed two seals were missing, as were the weapons he assumed matched them. Looking around inside the large chest, it took no time to find what he'd been looking for.
Where most of the seals were displayed openly on the inside lid of the chest, one was hidden, covered as though to conceal it from the others. Reaching out slowly, Taelyrn felt a chill go down his spine as he plucked the black felt bag from it's place. Holding the thing, even with the material keeping it from him, left him feeling slightly nauseous. There was no doubt in his mind: he held in his hand the Seal of Nocticertus, and of Tresdos, the Dark Thief.
Looking down into the chest itself, where the weapons were displayed, he noticed a similar bag, about the length of a sword. Tresdos' hookswords. Reaching in, he lifted them out carefully, stood, and walked over to the table. Setting the swords down for a moment, Taelyrn looked over the girl, then back to the bag in his hand. Suddenly, it dawned on him: he had no clue what he was doing.
Moving towards the door, Taelyrn stopped, turning and looking back at the table. This had to work. Some part of him told him it had to, and he believed it.
Running outside, Taelyrn flashed out of existence, having just enough foresight to shut the Forge doors behind him. He'd be back, but if the officer returned, the doors would hold him back far better closed.[/glow]

Leyra struggled against her chains again, feeling cold as the light of her bright one faded. The prison of her mind was back, but it was crumbling. She didn't know what it meant, but she knew it frightened her. She had to break free, leave on her own, and find her bright one again.
For the first time in years, Leyra regretted not speaking. If she ever found her way back out of this place, she'd find her bright one. She'd find him, and tell him...what? What would she tell him? It didn't matter. She'd speak. For the bright one, her bright one, she would speak.

[glow=blue,2,500]Cryodivus appeared in the Forge. The chest where Pyrodeus kept the seals and weapons of the other Warrior Angels was open. Cryodivus noticed the two open spots where Fulminerus' and Silexops' seals should be, and frowned.
He then saw a woman laying on the table, her hip bleeding profusely. She looked very pale. Taelyrn was right; she didn't have long.
"Is this your will?" Cryodivus asked, looking skyward. "Another human turned into a Warrior Angel?" Cryodivus then nodded. "So be it," he said, his gaze falling upon the girl once more as he waited for Taelyrn.[/glow]

[glow=white,1,500]With a flash, Taelyrn joined Cryodivus in the Forge. The others had not yet arrived, and Cryodivus seemed to be watching the girl while they waited. He followed suit, replaying the events that had led to this point.
He'd known the girl had existed for less than two days, and here he was, trying to not only save her life, but to change it entirely. If this worked, the life she woke up to would be far different from the one she knew now. Was it worth it, to save a near-stranger? He believed it was. He just had to hope they weren't already too late.[/glow]

* A portal opened and a Bruno stepped through. He was now wearing a large metal suit. he stood over 9 feet tall and weighed at least 1200 pounds. THe suit covered his entire body exept for his head. A thick blue metal created from a very spewial alloy found only i one very dangerous dimension. Almost indestructible and comletely unaffected by temperature changes it had to be molded molecule by molecule. Bruno came here to retrieve the Kuryr. it could not be allowed free roam in the miltiverse. He was Also quite curious about the other people that Jay had talked about, maybe he would see one. He did see one strange Being that alsmost seemed to be made of ice and the Kuryr. THe IDPD had put a great deal of time and effort into creating ways to trak them and those like them and it seemed it payed off once again. He looked to the Large icy man*
"I'm sorry sir I do not know your relationship with...her... is(he struggled to give it a gender. the IDPD prefered not to give Kuryrs identities.) but she cannot be trusted and must be taken with me. I hope this isnt any inconvenience for you."
*Another man apeared and Bruno ignored him for the time being. it was important to give someone your full attention while talking to them. He didnt wish to be unpleasent unless he had to.*

[glow=blue,2,500]Cryodivus' sword appeared in his hand, staring up at some enormous monstrosity. This thing was bigger than Silexops. But, above all, it was an intruder.
"How did you get in here?" he bellowed. "Leave now, or I will attack you."[/glow]

"I wouldn't Really Advise that." *A helmet formed, seemingly out of nowhere, made from the same metal as the rest of his suit. "Your not Kuryrs, that I know for sure. You obviously don’t know anything about them. None of them can be trusted; you are making a mistake to help this one. Above that you do not want to initiate hostile actions with me." *Bruno did not move or give any indication of further action.*

[glow=blue,2,500]This 'Kuryr' is no longer your concern," Cryodivus said, now taking a fighting stance with his sword. "Now leave. You are not welcome in this holy place."[/glow]

[glow=white,1,500]Taelyrn was standing at the table, the Seal in hand, when the massive...thing...appeared. He froze momentarily as the massive creature spoke to Cryodivus, then forced himself to continue. Cryodivus was a demigod whose power far exceeded his own. That, and he'd survived the last 8,000 years just fine. He could be trusted to handle himself.
He placed the Seal over the girl's heart, just where he'd seen it in his vision. He could have sworn the artifact pulled itself to the girl, much like a magnet to a piece of metal. Releasing it, he stepped back, then moved around the table, orienting himself between the large being and the table. Hopefully, they could hold him off until Pyrodeus and the others arrived.[/glow]

"Now I dont think that you understand the situation at all. Now I admit that this is our fault and I apoligize for that. let me explain. I work as part of a very large organization. What you all have seen is only a fraction of a percent of the resources that we have, and we will not stop untill the Kuryr is brought in. its as simple as that and you are waisting your time and mine by trying to prevent it." *Bruno shifted his attention to Tealyrn and took a few steps toward him.* "I dont know what your doing but it seems like a bad idea. whatever you gave to her will become our property, so I would think it over very carefully. now move." *Bruno began walking toward the Kuryr. He would simply push past the other being if need be.*

[glow=blue,3,000]"You will not lay a hand on the sacred seal," Cryodivus said, his body freezing solid.
He turned to face Taelyrn. "Start feeding energy into the seal. It starts the process, and helps keep her alive."[/glow]

[glow=white,1,500]Taelyrn nodded, even as the massive being began walking towards him. One of his tendrils pointed at the seal, directing a beam of light into it. He still had 7 others, and as long as he could stay within a straight shot of the seal, he could keep up the transfer.
The apparent enemy before him, however, seemed less than impressed with his presence. Rather, it seemed as if he was set on ignoring the Angel of Light entirely. Drawing his sword, Taelyrn accelerated himself, as he had in the church back on Earth. He'd managed to do so with little difficulty then, but it now proved something of a challenge. He assumed it was due to the energy that was being sent into the seal, but the knowledge of why did little to stop the effect.
Setting another tendril to feed energy into the seal in hopes of accelerating the process, Taelyrn could feel the strain of maintaining both the energy feed and the heightened speed. At best, he could last what he percieved to be a few minutes. In real time, this amounted to a full minute, perhaps less, as Taelyrn's brightly glowing form blurred.[/glow]

[glow=red,2,500]Pyrodeus appeared in the Forge, Visignis and Viviana in tow. He immediately saw Cryodivus, his body frozen, standing off against a colossal black man in a suit of armor.
He also saw Tresdos beginning the transferrence of Nocticertus' power to the intended recipient. He was right; she was badly injured.
"Visignis, Viviana, start pouring energy into that seal," he said, walking next to Cryodivus. "Taelyrn, you'd better put the other 6 tendrils into it if you want her to pull through." Pyrodeus then approached the table. Four jets of flame, two from his hands and two from the tips of his wings, converged in front of him. The united beam fired at the seal.
"Cryodivus, you think you can hold him off until we've finished the transfer?" Pyrodeus asked.[/glow]

[glow=blue,3,000]"I have to try," Cryodivus replied. "She's fading fast. She needs all the help she can get, and that includes you and the kids."[/glow]
