*The last thing I remember was the scared panicked faces of the the towns people of Batavia, The prince was gone just after coronation. And the Iron Legion was taking over. . . And then nothing but darkness.*

(Silas)

"Um. . . what? What is this place? How did I get here? And why do I sound like the most cliche character ever?" Looking around are new friend could only see clear sky's. . . Until a strange voice called out to him.

"You finally woke up hu? Well lets get started, my name is Nix. And you my friend are in Valhalla or as the legends call it. . . Brawlhalla!" Holding out her hand she shook my hand too greet me, but I was focused on her lower body...It was gone and she was floating on purply black smoke cloud.

"Oh okay, cool. Now um. . . why are you floating!?" Looking down at herself she laughed, scooting back she touched her feet down on the island and rubbing the back of her head she chuckled a little again.

"Sorry, I tend to do that. Okay, Okay lets get yo-" Her sentence cut off as a deep sound came from the distance the first time I didn't know what it was until I heard it again. . . It sounded like a horn, but were was it coming from?

Following her gaze she stared into the distance, sucking in a deep breath she looked back at me and scrunched up her nose. Curcialing me she stopped behind me, looking down I gulped finally realizing how high up I was. I was surprised when she spoke, the question was insane!

"Can you fly?" Umm. . . I don't think so, I think I'd know if I can.

"I barely even know where I am. How am I supposed to fly??" She thought for a second and then sighed somewhat annoyed, a few seconds later she spoke in a amused tone of voice.

"Okay true point. Here, want some help? I can show you my World, unless you care to stay on this tiny floating rock?" Do I have another choice? She still stood behind me trying to be conspicuous.

"Well I guess I don't have much choice. So yes." Snickering she nudged me closer to the edge and I could tell how close she was, I was fixing to say something until har arms snaked around my waist and then we fell over the edge.

"Wait whaAAAAAAAAAAAA-" My words got lost in the wind as she spoke the words "trust me" and she pulled us out of the nose dive, I covered my eyes as she pulled us up into the sky.

After she maneuvered us out of the nose dive she laughed, opening my eyes I could see the ground below. I didn't particularly like being this high up, she tightened her grip on me.

"Oh my gosh. . . Don't. Do. That. Ever. Again please." I didn't need to be scared like that, I wish she didn't do that.

"Your funny, but sure. I can't promise, but I did say trust me did I not?" She did say that, and I am sort of alive. . . So I'll trust her, FOR now.
(NEW Part added below here!)

(View, Nix)

Laughing to myself this new guy at least held still in my arms, taking us over a floating mini mountain the ThunderGarde Stadium came into view silhouetted by the setting sun.

"Sorry I'm just new to all this. You can't expect me to react well to falling off a cliff." He let out a sigh, and for a second I felt bad that he died an unfortunate death.

"Your right, I'm sorry. Are you okay?" He didn't say anything instantly, but after a few seconds I landed on the floating platform that came to greet us.

"Yeah I'm fine. Where are we going?" I thought it was obvious to as were we're going, apparently I'm going to have to explain it again. .

"I'm taking you to the Thunder Garde stadium, were you will see what it is we do. I hope you aren't scared of Greek god myths." Like for really we have Werewolves, Vampires, dragons gargoyles, talking ravens we even have Rayman!

As the stoner platform connected to the base were it belonged I saw Kor and he was doing his usual job, poor guy can't even watch the game.

"HEY Kor, are we late?" Kor opened his large golden eye, gripping his hammer tightly he spoke in a deep gentle voice.

"No your just in time Nix, whos your date this time?" Gronning I forgot I was still holding on to you, letting go I stepped up to the gate and pushed it open to reveal tones of legends in the stands.

"He's the new guy, and please stop saying every soul I lead here is a date of mine." Kor always considers the lost souls I bring here, escorted, directed or even led are considered my "Soul Mates" to him, witch was really annoying.

"Sure Nix, have a good time in there, you'll tell me how it goes right?" Of course, I've never missed a game!

"Sure you know I always do Kor, have a good day." Taking the new guys wrist in my hand I lead you through the gates as Kor shuts them behind us, pulling you through the crowd I look for Artamis.

"Okay, so we just flew, there's a talking rock, and now we're in a stadium. Cool." He laughed at the craziness of his words, which now that I herd them it sounded crazy.

"What now?" Well, I'm looking for Artamis and Orion.

Pulling you through a crowded row of legends and we pass Brynn, Val, Ezio and the Ninja Turtles, basically dragging you around until I see Artamis and Orion. Artamis waved us over and making my way to her I nearly trips over Barraza's out streched legs, as Mirage sat besides him and gave us an apologetic look.

"Your gonna see what it is we do here, but first. This is Artamis and Orion, and today we're watching the Kungfoot game!" Artamis moves over two chairs to give us room, she basically shoves Orion and he grumbles at her, Artamis only gives you a nod. But Orion extends a hand to greet you.

"Hey Bro, welcome to Valhalla. I'm Orion, you'll love it here. It's all you could ever wish for, it's amazing here!" The new guy shook Orion's hand not so sure, that's when I realised this guy didn't look war born. . .

"Alright..." I didn't notice you rub you head until I sat down and you did it again, looking up at you I raised an eyebrow.

(Silas)

"Ow. ." I start rubbing the back of my head were I hit something hard as Nix dragged me through the stadium, then I noticed her looking up at me from her chair.

"Are you okay. . . I just realised I don't even know your name." Which was true I didn't tell her my name, where are my manners?

"Yeah I'm fine. I'm Silas."

(Nix)
"Cute name, would you like to watch the game or see more of THIS world?" Hmm I liked that name, it was something different from all the names I'm used too..

"Thanks. . . um. . I want to see the game. What is it?" I didn't really know how to explain what the game was, I was never good at explaining things.

"It's called KungFoot, it's basically football but in this version we have.." I stop talking as the announcer spoke, and I recognised the voice of Bodvard.

"HELLO EVERYONE! Today we're proud to announce that todays KungFoot game teams are RED and BLUE! In corner one we have are RED team, will Mako and Sidra Make their way up here! Side two we have non other then PETRA AND NIX! Are three year champions! Please make you way to the Court." Wait I'm playing? WHY DIDN'T PETRA TELL ME!

Abandoning my seat Silas watched as I leaned over to Artamis and whispered to her, but truthfully I think he heard me still. Who knows, but I didn't care Artamis needed to watch him, he was still new enough to get lost easily.

"Watch Silas for me okay?" She nodded and I flew off towards the stage and stopped at Petra's side and she punched my shoulder.
"You Ready?" Not really, but that's fine.

"Ready as I'll ever be, lets win this thing!" And the shrill whistle sounded and Petra managed to snatch the ball before Sidra could, I turned to the sound of Silas's voice calling from the crowed.

"This actually looks fun. Good luck!" Ah if only he knew how hard it actually was, the pain you felt if you got hit. . .


(Silas)

"Hey just wait and see, wait for Nix to get her weapons shes amazing with them right Artamis?" Artamis nodded just as a flaming blue sword struck the center of the field, and grabbing it what Nix held was no longer a flaming sword but a Scythe.

"SEE! It's incredible, she'll hook Mako like a fish out of water. Sidra will be a challenge though she's more experienced." I guess so, I don't know her enough to say something like that. . . BUT she does look like she knows what she's doing, I hope she's at least okay by the end of it even though I'm still not entirely sure what the point of the game is. Looking at Artamis she scoffs, Orion looks over at her and shrugs as Artamis faced me and spoke with annoyance.

"Do you know what the goal is, Silas?" Waiting for an answer, I wasn't sure what to say, I HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO SAY!

"Not. . really. . ." She could tell I was nervous, I was truthfully.

"Hmm, well see the ball Petra is holding? And do you see how the field is half red and half blue? Did you notice Nix turn blue to match her team side? Well she can cross onto the red teams side but the obstacles in her way she has to climb or wall run them, and she has to stay in the goal area for three seconds to make a score, first team to three wins. . . But there's a twist, you can get hurt with the weapons you weald."

Just at that moment the legends in the stands gasped as Nix was thrown back off the field and into the water below, a winged women fished her out and dropped her on the field and grasping another weapon Nix struck the ball sending it into Petra's arms, three agonizing seconds and a sore was made.

"Ouch- that didn't look fun. Is She okay?" It looked like that hurt, even though I wasn't playing.

"She'll be fine, her and Petra are a well oiled team. Maybe a few scratched maybe a burse nothing serious, you best hope they don't throw a bomb and hit her. NOW that would hurt, like fire."

Nix manage to make another score but just as the point went in she was hit by something, I didn't know what it was but it sent her over the edge again. . . Then I realised it was a bomb, but I've never anything thrown nothing!..Artamis sucks in a breath as Nix fell over the edge, standing she started too make her way to the water were Nix fell in.

"We better see if she's okay, that looked like it hurt. You Coming Silas?" Slowing down Artamis looked at me, expecentaly.

"Yeah" Following after Artamis she shoved through the crowds, and I surprisingly managed to keep up!

(Nix)

Being wet was not cool ,but twice in less then a minutes? why is my game off, normally I'm focused! pulling myself out of the water I wince as the pain between my shoulder blades, take off my hoodie and start too ring it out as Artamis, Orion and Silas come up to me running.

I was personally not exited Silas saw that, I felt stupid. Not making eye contact with him Artamis spoke as I continued to shake my jacket.

"Nix are you okay it looked like it hurt. . . Show me were you got hit." Artamis started to feel my shoulders and touched my back, I sucked in a sharp breath as she found the spot.

Taking my jacket from me the tossed it to Silas for him to hold, I could feel her pull up the back of my shirt to see how bad it was. Orion finally showed up and stood besides her, blocking your view.

"Nix this is awful you need to tag team, you can't keep playing your too badly hurt. The explosion on impact burned you badly, it's gonna need to be treated." I hold the jacket and watch, letting Artemis and Orion helped her.

"Are you okay? That looked painful. ." Holding her black and purple leather jacket, I steeped back letting Artamis and Orion help her.

"It's. . . Fine, doesn't hurt. ." I didn't want to know how bad it was, I've seen this kind of wound before.

I felt like hiding from Artamis and Orion, I didn't want to be seen as a failure. Pulling my grey shirt over my head I push past Artamis and orion and take my leather jacket from you, making my way to the tunnel I could hear Artamis Scoff. Then I had enough, so I ran.

(Silas)
I ran after her, I wasn't sure what else to do. She was the only person I knew here.

"Wait! Don't leave me here, I have no clue what I'm doing." Racing after her she turned a corner, racing around the corner she VANISHED!

"Nix?" Calling out, there was nothing she just disappeared in the tunnel as I ran after her!

"Where are you? Nix!" Leaning against the wall I crossed my arms, waiting for her to show up.

(Nix)
I made my way through the tunnel and heard you but didn't want you seeing me like this, I passed a door as a hand reached out and pulled me in. I realised it was Brynn, she held a finger to her lips and shut the door leaving it cracked a little bit.

"Nix why is he here, he wasn't chosen. You have to take him back, Hypernira would me angry to know you brought a mortal here." I was confused for a second and hid the pain from her and tried to hid the tremble in my voice.

"You don't see his potential do you?" If he was trained he'd do really well in the arena, I know he would. . .

I could hear you, waiting a few seconds I wipe the blood on my face off, then I yell at Brynn.

"HE'S STAYING, I'LL TRAIN HIM YOU'LL SEE HIS POTENTIAL!" I was angry Brynn can't just say who's worthy to be here, just like they said how I didn't belong and I proved them wrong. .

I kick the door open and at this point I don't care to wipe the blood off my cheek, narrowing my eyes I notice you leaning agents the wall. Dragging my Scythe across the floor I create sparks, not looking up at you I mutter.

"So you followed me, and I bet you heard that too?" He looked unsure of an answer, and shrugged.

"Only a bit. You okay?" Debates whether I should tell you, breathing out I look up at you.

"Sure, I'm fine. . ."

"Okay. . . what now?" Looking at me he waited for a answer..

"What now? What now? Well I have to help myself, this wound won't clean itself. . So yeah I'll do that, unless you wanna tag alone which I wouldn't. . . I'd scare ya." I laugh a little and wait for your response.

"I mean. . I'd rather go with you than stay here alone I guess. And I don't scare easily." He smiled at me, I was surprised by boldness of his words, and the friendliness of his smile.

Raising an eyebrow I was not so sure, shrugging I take your hands with mine and a blackish purple could of smoke spills out around us.

"Ready for some dark magic?" He looked confused and made a funny face, witch made me laugh.

"Yeah. . I think." Closing my eyes the smoke thickened and a few seconds later it clears, dropping your hands I make my way through the pitch black hallways. Forgetting you probably can't see in the dark like I can.

"Umm. . . wait- where are you? Where are we? Nix?" looking behind me I see you behind me moving about aimlessly, opps. Going to your side I grab your hand, and pull you along.

"Sorry I didn't realise you couldn't see. ." He chuckled, speaking with a rather disappointed voice.

"Yeah I don't exactly have tons of powers or magic." Pulling you along a deep growl came from the depths of the darkness, I see car sized Gargoyle watching the both of us closely.

"Whos the lump of flesh you have with you, I bet he'd taste good. . . Most mortals do.." Scoffing, I keep pulling you along as Onyx follows you.

"ONYX He's not a snack back off, I'll call Volkov!" Placing myself between you and Onyx she makes a low sound between a growl and a chuckle, speaking with a low hiss she spoke.

"You've gotten attached to this flesh bag, how rich is that?" A soft glow comes from an open bedroom, illuminating Onyx now without magic you could see the massive stone Gargoyle standing in front of the both us.

Silas took a step back in defense, probably wondering what or who else was with us, AND why it wanted to eat him.

"HA! Maybe I'll keep this flesh bag around, he fears me." Turning around she walked off, dragging her cannon behind her.

The light that was there snuffs out and leaves us in the dark again, and in a few second I continue to pull you through the maze-like Castle.

(Silas)
"I'm not a flesh bag!" I shout without really thinking it over, then without warning a hand swiftly covers my mouth to stop me from speaking, a purple light appears over are heads and Nix narrow her eyes at me and hiss.

"Do you want her to Kill you, because she will Silas. ." I wanted to argue, but instead I kept my mouth shut.

Nix smiled at me knowing what I said was true, and probably knew that I'd fight back too. Even though that thing. . . Was MASSIVE!

"You have spunk, but just be careful okay?" Taking her hand off my mouth she attempted a smile, dropping her hand to her side she took my wrist in her other hand and lead me through the hallways.

"Alright. ." I was still confused to as what happened just now, or to as where we we're going..

(Nix)

Leading you through the dark the little light we have floats besides my waist, giving off a light neon greenish purple glow. Pushing a large black door open, the light goes off as a new light from inside the room starts to grow lighting the place up. Revealing a nicely put to gether room with a King sized bed, Chairs besides a growing fire, a small counter with a fridge in the corner.

Leaving you at the door, I start digging around in a cabinet and pull out a box of stuff.

"Make yourself at home, my rooms not much but it's all I have I guess." Rooting around in the box I pull out a tube of aloe vera, and setting it down on the counter I get a wash cloth, turning on the sink I get the cloth wet.

(Silas)

Walking around in the room, I was amazed by the room looking everywhere but I decided to not touch anything. Making my way to the chair by the fire, I took a seat. . . And sat there appreciating the simplicity of the room. . . I sat with my eyes closed enjoying the warmth until a sound, muddle of words maybe was said in the room Nix was in. . . Is she okay?


"You okay in there?" Warming myself by the fire I waited for a answer from her. . .

(Nix)

Taking the wash cloth and Aloe vera, I make my way past you into another room. Slightly closing the door it's still open enough to where you can seem me, Pulling my jacket off I tossed it on the queen size bed in this room and setting the cloth and aloe vera on the bedside table I breath in deeply.
Muttering to myself, I pull my lightweight grey hoodie over my head and wince at the blood on it.

"This is going to hurt, great. . ."

I was too busy making sure the fabric that bound my chest was tight enough, satisfied with how tight is was I turned my back to the full body mirror hanging on my wall. Looking over my shoulder I groaned, this was bad. . . Really Bad! using dark magic a squid like tentacle formed from a blacky purple cloud of smoke, walking up to the window I push it open and a breeze brushes through the room blowing the door to the main room open slightly. . . And I hadn't noticed yet.

Going back too the mirror I turn my back and breathing in deeply the purpley black tentacle took the wash cloth and I willed it to gently touch the seared flesh, once the wet, cold cloth touched the raw skin I sucked in a sharp breath. I could feel the cold cloth sucking the heat from my skin, tears sprang into my eyes and I swear when I'm done. . . I'll cry but not now.

Sucking it up I bit down on my tongue, pausing I gripped the extra cloth tightly in my fist wrapping it around my hand, then my arm I made it so tight there was pain in my arm. On three, I touched the cloth too my wound again. . .This time there was less pain, but a short pain filled wimper came from my mouth. I should have let Artamis and Orion help. . .Silent tears ran down my cheeks, and I willed the tentacle to do it again and this time it was no soft gentle rub. . . But a rather ruff, and I winced at the searing pain.

(Silas)

"Are you okay in there Nix?" I glance for a second at the now open door, now realizing it was open. . . Then turn away.

"Nix! Are you okay?" I hear her gasp and run to the door, not looking inside.

"What the- Nix!" I burst in, covering my eyes because I wasn't sure what I'd see. "What is going on!?"

(Nix)

I could feel myself getting lost in the pain, my mind swam as I endured it beyond recognition. . . leaning sideways slightly I reached behind me and brushed my fingertips across the wound, bringing my fingers to my face, I gasp as my hand was covered in a slick warm liquid. . . Blood.

Darkness spilled out surrounding me and spilling out of the open door, I was lost. . . standing there in the darkness, I could feel the raw magic eating my mind away little by little. . . The curse of being death, yourself. . . Was being possessed by demons. . . That wanted you dead.

Barely turning my head to face you I wasn't in my own mind and body, it's like I was watching from above. A tenrele of purpley black smoke whipped through the air and snaked around you, and started too squeeze. . .

"What mortal. . . Though he could help death. . . She belongs to us. . ." The darkness started pulling, and I cried out in pain.


(Side note: More is coming this is just were we are at with actually RPing this story, so please be patient and we will have more ^^)
