Shezar the Assassin's Blade
The RooftopsAn Assassin must strike swift and hard, such is the nature of their craft.
'Art of Duplicity.' A flash of light and the one figure running was now two than three figures. Still rushing their foe.
Faster and faster they ran the buildings below leaving nothing but a blur below their feet.
Just 30 meters to go before they reached their target...

Downy Reed
The InbetweenThe Vampires now in chaos from the incoming meteor Downy left his partner to handle the Vampires he had more pressing matters to attend to.
'Damnit not another one! Well they won't get the last one I'll see to that'And into the shadows he went from the quivering of the second circle he knew by now it was already lost his last hope remained in the final functional circle.
Having the advantage in speed he made his way as quickly as possible towards the third and final circle and there he waited in ambush if they dared to make their appearance known anywhere around he'd be the first to know.
****************************
Imnity
High in the Sky*KABOOOOOOM!!!*
With a mighty roar and an even mightier crash the meteor hit it's mark straight into the building. With it any vampire's or other beings in the near vicinity took the full force of the blast being completely incinerated in a mighty wave of heat and molten rock.
As for the ones that did manage to get away Imnity then began her next task, she would sense them out and destroy them one by one, one such vampire who had only partially gotten hit by the blast was weakened but alive.
With a wave of her hand a page of her book she was instantly by his side. 'If my knowledge is correct you beings have a knack for regeneration I must eliminate you before you can show me such ability.'
“הכסף בלייד.”
Another action and another page as a silver blade emerged from a portal nearby and into her hand, with one swift motion she decapitated the head of the vampire and away she was again onto the next target as quick as a flash leaving nothing but the burning smell of pages and the dead and decaying body of her victims.

Mudou the Betrayer
The Alleyway“Hey! Where'n the Hell'd they go!? Is this Imnity's doing!?”
Looking around he spotted the only other thing still alive in this rotted and spoiled alleyway.
“Hey you! What do ya think you're doing!? You wanna die!? Fine I'll grant you your wish!”
“Mudou we don't have time for this, we must go and find them before they cause any more of Master Downy's plans to go astray.”
“You shut up! I'm sick and tired o'all this running! I want blood!! If ya wanna deal with those bastards then get out o my sight!”
With another mighty roar Mudou charged the unarmed sickly looking man.

Lobellia Reed
The Alleyway 'I don't have time for this idiots games, if he wants to go off and die on his own fine I'm sure finding a replacement will be easy enough.'
Ignoring her partners mad charge she quickly jumped from wall to rubbled wall until she once again reached the top of the buildings, with a step of her feet she was off, her target the main central conduit for the ritual, if in case the circle's were all taken down then they'd need to be directed lest they all hit her Master.
******************************
Undead Behemoth
Main CircleIt's senses now dulled from the swing of the weapon the Behemoth shrieked in rage it's hand now finally fully regenerated it was began to counter when a second mighty blast from the cannon struck it straight in the center chunks of flesh and bones along with the heavy scent of rotten and burning flesh everywhere.
Another cry from the beast and it grabbed the nearest pile of bone and rock flinging more and more at the target before slumping down into a mess it's humanoid shape slowly beginning to form into something more circular.
******************************
Medea
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?At first she had cursed herself for her misfortune, brought again into the world of the living only to meet yet another terrible fate. Was this her destiny? Forever one to feel the misfortune of the Gods?
Would she find no happiness? No joy? No chance to live?
Those were her thoughts, the feelings that emanated from her very being for the longest time. Even as she took the life of the very one who gave her this second chance she cursed them yet again.
Even her grandfather as he sheltered her from danger, she could tell in his eyes, he had nothing but pity for her, her life was nothing but suffering and death, and she knew it most.
So why was she here? Why was she cursed to die yet again with nothing but sorrow?
Though her eyes were clouded her mind was not. It was with her own hand alone that she took her very own brother's life. As her hand dissected the one she once loved she could tell, those eyes were once again nothing but pity.
Yet why was she here? Shivering in the darkness as her eyes began to cloud and the last flickering lights of life began to fade. She cursed them all. Was she meant for nothing but sorrow?
And then he came... Silent but caring in his own way he appeared in her life like a gentle breeze to fuel the once flickering flame he appeared.
At first she thought of him as nothing but another one of those pathetic men. Yet another one who would either use her till she was useful no longer or pity her sad existence. But he was neither, he asked no questions and desired no rewards for his actions.
He was like the fuel for the flickering candle that gave it yet another chance. And though her body was old her heart was still young, it yearned for these raw emotions.
She knew it could very well end just as horribly as all the rest but she decided to give it just one more chance. This time no God or Man would stand in her way, this time she would find the happiness she had once yearned for. And this time she would not fail...
So even as her very mind and body faded from this world yet again she was not sad. She didn't hate... Nor did she curse...
In fact she happy, ecstatic even. For she had no regrets, to her even if it meant dying in his stead she would give her very life and soul to him if it meant she could protect his life even a moment longer. So as she faded from this world, as her broken and battered body began to shimmer in that familiar light she held his head one last time and uttered his name.
To her even though it was her last moments in this world she was satisfied. If there were people like him in it then perhaps the world wasn't so bad after all? Perhaps she should give it a second chance as well?...
****************************************************
So why was she here? In the ruins of an old and decrepit building she awakened. But she was alone, she could no longer sense the feelings of her loved one. Yes, this time she was truly alone, no Master to force her down another cursed path and no Gods to pity her. This time she was truly and utterly alone...
But this time she had a goal. Even though it might be impossible, even if it took a thousand years she would meet "him" again. She would find "him" even if the very Gods cursed her own being!
So she set off once more, this time no one would stand in her way. This time she would finally find the happiness she had once thought impossible. This time she would create a miracle. This time she would create her own Destiny!
