Hell on Earth

[Maya]

Del... i felt her fall.
But i knew they had what they needed... the portal would be closed... i only prayed that people were managing in other areas... otherwise, all this was for nothing... all this death... all for nothing.
Far far off, in the distance, I heard i sob,
"Mom? Come on, i only just found you! Mom? Mom please..." Aila...
"Maya..." Was all Joshua could manage.
I was leaving them. But what if it wasnt over? What if the demons came anyway, and our force was depleted? I couldn't just give up and leave them, could I?

No.

Maybe... perhaps if i drew on the latent power of teh stone... i knew it was dangerous, but i had no choice. So i focussed as much as my fuzzy mind allowed, and began slowly drawing strength...

[Saraiyu]

"Two hearts for the price of one!" I quipped, raising my arms above my head, the hearts clenched tightly in my fists.

"CLOSE!" I shouted, my eyes going black and the power appearing to consume me. I could feel the portal shrinking in front of me until all that was left was a hairy leg, cut off from a demn that had tried to come through at the last second.

"Sleep soundly friend" I said softly as I stepped over the elf's body.

[Aredhel]

((time for Aralin's moment... I was trying to get that last post done for Maya so I didn't put this in lol))

*Aralin's POV*

I had fought by her side the whole time, I had felled the demons she didn't see, I had protected her from those that would destroy her. But I could not save her from that. In her eagerness to do what she needed to, in her haste to avenge her fallen friends, she had left me behind. My hope, the hope I had seen only moments before, was shattered. We would not come though this together. This was the end of my Noble Elf, selernya.

I watched the whole affair as if time had slowed. I tried in vain to reach her, to sever the stinger before it hit her, but even my elven feet could not carry me fast enough. I watched it slide into her, and I knew the end was near. But she fought, just as I had said to her before. She fought, and for a moment, I hoped against all logic that she had somehow avoided the stinger, that the poison had not entered her veins, but as soon as the thought hit me it died. She was slower, she looked tired. She began to perspire. This would be her final task before her doom. And I would watch it all.

I knew the magic of the elves, the ability we had been blessed with to draw out poisons especially. We were healers, we had always been, even amidst our times of war and destruction, we were healers. We were the firstborn, the Quendi, and we would survive as long as Arda itself. But I could do nothing. My power was gone, bound to the sword I hoped would save her. All was lost.

I watched her make her way, ever slowly, towards the one who had requested the heart. And as it gently left her fingers, I felt her resolutions fall away. She let go, gave into the darkness I saw engulfing her. It was over, just as it had ended before. At the hands of a demon, a pureblood, my dearest sister met her end. Again.

"Lá!" I screamed out, running to her. "Lá, selernya! Na tulca! Na tulca!" But it was no use. I did not know if she even heard my pleas. She lay there, emotionless on the ground, amidst a sea of demons, amidst magic and weaponry. Amidst the world she would always protect.

"Selernya," I wept. "Araselernya. Nai fëarmma omentuva mi Valimar."

And so ended Aredhel Lindelena, the last of my kin. Her soul would find its way to the Halls of Mandos, and perhaps, if she so chose, we would see her again, someday.

((you knew they were coming... TRANSLATIONS! YAY!

selernya: My sister.
Lá!: No!
Lá selernya! Na tulca! Na tulca!: No my sister! Be strong! Be strong!
Selernya. Araselernya. Nai fëarmma omentuva mi Valimar: My sister. My noble sister. May our spirits meet in Valimar.

I hope you all appreciate the pains I'm taking to write this all man... it's CRAZY.))

The demons gone, the portal closed, my whole body collapsed from countless wounds. My jacket and shirt were tattered ruins, blood was dripping from many wounds. I heard Aralin's mournful cry, but there was nothing I could do. I couldn't even move. And Maya... my own sister was dying and I was on the wrong side of the battl field.

In the distance, i saw Charlotte standing there looking around at teh chaos. One arm looked dislocated, but other thant, she looked fine.

Not so, others.

I looked up at the girl I once loved, finding no feelings. She thought she'd given me what I wanted, but all she did was kill of any lingering love i felt. I suppose I should be grateful.

"You've done you're job," I rasped. "The invasion has been pushed back. You can leave now," with that, I slipped into blissful unconciousness, where the losses I was facing no longer registered.

[Azoth (Kyler)]

(((AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! STOP IT WITH THE EXTREMELY LONG POSTS ALLREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry)))

It was almost midnight, only another minuite had to pass.

Clouds passed over the moon and darkened the entire area. Thunder started to roar...

One of the confused demons on the edge of the side of the giant groups turned around, only to be met, face to face, wit the biggest undead army ever seen.

They poured into the fray, stabbing and slicing, individually not having much affect, but as a group, furiously slicing through everything and anything in their path. The completely surrounded the demons, but more poured through, every demon that an undead killed was replaced by another, but at least for now, everyone could relax at least a little more.

I appeared from smoke behind TPot.

"You, go and fight, I will take care of these three..." I told him as I bent down to test out some of my newly aquired powers...


(((Is that ok? It's not making it too easy is it?)))

[TPot]

"Will do." I said. I jumped back into the fight. taking care of the few remaining. I started to sing to myself. "Here's a demon, there's aa demon and another little demon. Fuzzy demon, funny demon. Demon, demon, dead."

((Sorry... I had to do it.))

[Jack]

i was still going. And suprised at that. Then I was stabbed from behind. I will not yell. I kept saying. I killed the demon that had got me and fell to the ground.

[Priz]

I dropped down beside Jack. "No..." I whispered. "I cannot have failed. I could feel it. He was not supposed to die. And he will not." I blasted another demon. "I will not fail Catherine."

[Jessy Jackson]

(((I LOVE you T-pot!)))
I was walking. Small steady steps. I stood by Doc radiating pure anger. Enough was enough.

[Jackson ''Doc'' Ellison]

"Jessy...?" I wheezed. Not quite unconcious, but i wish I was. I don't think there was a single part of me that didn't hurt. Even my bruises had bruises. "Maya...? Is she...?"

"You look like you've been t'rough a grater an' you worry about you're sister?" Des's voice floated over me. "Dat's jus' like you, Francois. Sorry I'm late. Got caught up in giant spiders."

[Jessy Jackson]

"Maya's, well, she isn't fine but she's getting stronger." I smiled and attacked a demon who was getting too close.

(((Does anyone else like spelling it Deamon?)))

[Jackson ''Doc'' Ellison]

"Good," I wheezed. "So tired... An' i can't move."

"Dat would be the blood you're drippin' everywhere," Del remarked. "You went nuts."

"no," I rasped. "I think...I was as calm as you can get," I eyes closed, this time in true unconciousness, but I said one last thing.

"He's gone."

[Jessy Jackson]

"Des? What did that mean?" I asked.

[Jackson ''Doc'' Ellison]

(((desere)))

I don' know, petite," Des muttered. "We'll ask 'im when 'e wakes up. You alright?"

[Jessy Jackson]

"Couple of broken bones, nothing major." I looked out across the battle feild. "It really is over."
