Mael

Black mud rained and poured like an abyssal storm. Then, a true waterfall that threatened to swallow everything.

"Trash." The anger and resolve in his heart burst like a raging fire, and his weapon shattered into fragments. That heavenly wing that now rushed towards his body...only made his killing intent even more palpable.

In the false God's moment of weakness, he bent like a reed in the wind. Immediatley, Mael had grabbed its robe and used it as leverage to spin and flip his body out of the way with the agility of a beast. Such was the skill of the one whom heaven once feared the most. Yet he was pierced nonetheless. Blood spewed from his side and his mouth, but he was not cleaved as heaven dictated. He would not allow it. He would not pause or stop moving for an instant. The angelic limb pierced at his side, breaking it like it was glass while spewing his essence everywhere - but he wasn't done fighting.

Now flipped above her, his leg was stretched behind one of the weapon shards that had broken, and swung down like a guillottine to shove it down Uria's neck like a stake.


And as darkness floods the gates of heaven and the forest morphs into [something else], this curtain drops. The result becomes an uncertain illusion. Just what kind of journey will this [world] hold? The truth is, this [game] was rigged from the start.

But this fight is not yet done. So fight.

Day 3 Nexus Time 6:30

The tear in the sky weeped unendingly, rivers of darkness flowing through the once pristine woods. White was repainted into many colors. Now the trees were brown, deep orange, glossy block, and dull silver. They bore multi colored fruit that shone with light and life. These were the sights that led to the great chasm in the area, a hole that seemed to have no end. Even as the great waters flowed into it, one could not even hear the sound of them crashing to the bottom.

But all that was irrelevant. For a far greater miracle was in progress. For the third time, something was going to be born.

The tears ceased falling, for there was no sorrow here. Instead, descending from the sky, was no fallen angel but a risen god. A second sun gently brought itself to the floor of the forest, and where its feet touched the earth bloomed. Silence was broken by a joyful cacophony, an entire assortment of creatures that had been molded by the divinity in their youth. There was no cause for sadness anywhere in this land, no drop of spite to fuel hatred. All things came together for the sake of further joy. This was their new god, and Uria turned to see the denizens, the forest, and the world beyond all within a single glance. And they smiled.

"Hello, world."

Day 3

Continued from the heavenly ruins

What a day, oh what a day. The ominous batting of his wings was as usual, but something was different this time.  Black birds perched on his shoulder like dark shards of the night sky, and whispered secrets in his ear. He'd be a fool not to come here and see them for himself. He had already sent a dark jewel of his to that other place, as a formality at least.

And see them, he did. Whatever it was, it sure pulled a number on that old stickler's little blessed haven. It was... cute. But he didn't come here just for a walk in the woods. He felt it a few hours ago, but the signal was muddled.

Either way, it was clear now. The gears were moving.

But he didn't fly straight into the core of this place. He was very interested in something very particular. So he circled the outskirts of this world of divine lights and peculiar things, until he found his dear prey. And boy oh boy, once he descended on the ground and stared right into its eyes, he felt all sorts of funny feelings. Or, if he were to put it in a dignified way... this was the rapture of the strong staring down at the weak.

Did ya have fun, old man? He stared at the crystal shard tearing out of the ground without much life or care in his eyes. Whatever joy and glee there was in his expression soon faded and became death. Death so cold and final, it didn't even warn of the fist smashing straight into the glowing shell. In that moment he broke it all, even the man trapped inside, in a million pieces. The woods and trees shook from the impact, but more than anything, his heart.

Let heaven's shine be mine.

And so he stole it from that man. The grace, the faker's life force, and even that demigod's special body part. He didn't even pay heed at his other half's broken remains scattering on the ground, and instead crushed them underfoot with mockery and disgust. The man he thought was Lawrence was destroyed there and then.

Ahh, how wonderful. But it's my turn now.

Umbra of Chaos:
Uria

The eye was staring at him. It wasn't a blank, dead organ. It was connected to its original owner with bonds beyond the world, and it was those connections that the eye's pupil shrank as it looked at him. Then he could feel an awareness all around him... almost as if the forest itself was watching him now as well.

But there was no time for that, for light came from the horizon.

Uria's descent was sudden and forceful, their weapons floating alongside them as they kept themselves at eye level with the old man. "Oh phooey, that wasn't very nice. How do you think he's going to pull himself back together soon if you do stuff like that!"

The dark being looked up as the clouds parted, and a beam of light shone down like a splendid spotlight. This was so much more than he expected. Despite all that, he seemed carefree as ever, going as far as to toss the eye in his hand like a coin and slipping it in his pocket. Hands resting nicely in them, he bowed with a cheeky grin and - shrugged, like he didn't know the answer. Or like he didn't care.

Instead he raised a finger to point it right at the kid like a cowboy, eyebrow raised and grin raised even higher. Since she was greeting the world so immaturely back then, he just had to return the favor in kind. It was something along the lines of hello cutiepie.

Aruna did say he acted rather humanely, so it shouldn't be a problem just doubling down on their expressions.
