his feet made a soft crunch sound as they landed on the frost covered grass. it was a cold day outside Skingrad, and yggdrasil wondered how warm he could make it. his red and gold robes draped over his frame. it showed how lithe and lean he was.
the man had his hood pulled up, he was small in stature you could tell this man was of Bosmeri blood. the arms raised elegantly as a strange yet striking amulet started to glow. there was a rumbling sound and he herd the guard of Skingrad call alarm as a gate tore its way out of the ground. it stood tall and menacing daring anyone to come at attack its darkness. the elf turned to see a guard come charging at him but stopped when a dremora and a Xivali step out of the gate and stand by him.
"you know what to do." the elf spoke his icy blue eyes were devoid of emotion almost dead.
"yes..." the dremora hissed as they walked past the elf and cut down the guard. yggdrasil stood there as more creatures came from oblivion walking past him.
"are you staying?" one dremora grumbled out curious. "for a little while." Yggdrasil responded as he watched the deadra slowly approach the city of Skingrad.

Somehow the people back at Cloud Ruler, had been able to keep up with the Mythic Dawn’s movements,, so it was almost guessed a gate would be opening somewhere soon. Close to Kvach, meaning closest was Anvil, Choral or Skingrad. And naturally sent a few people out to each area, or like Choral kept in contact with people already there.
Skingrad was rather chilly that morning….but stopped none from getting the news back to Cloud Ruler, as things started to ‘heat up’. Yojin by happenstance was in the area, he’d been doing a lot of traveling, informing Counts and Countesses of the Crisis at foot and to take care. Though not really a huge task he thought it important, for some reason.
But when the guards started sounding off, his eyes went wide heart skipping a beat. He twisted and hurried toward the gates, eyes looking at the gates he shouted back at the other guards after seeing that one fall. he gritted his teeth a few ran past him to face the beasties ahead. Yojin bit his lip then twisted around pulling a few arrows upon his bow and readied it and let it fire powerfully towards the demora.

Alessandra was chatting with the count when they both herd the alarm. her eyes widened, ash she ran outside seeing the gate standing tall. she turned back inside the count was talking with the head of his town and castle guards, one had a hawk on his arm with a message tied to its leg. she chewed on her nails. the bird wouldn't get there in time if they wanted to destroy this place. she went o her bag in the corner by the table and pulled out her falchion, and wrap-like armor. which she cast invisibility while she changed quickly. and she stood in front of the count and his men dressed in the dark wrap armor. "Alessandra..." the count started.
"i have more than adequate protection my lord. " she said and the count could only nod as Alessandra left the Castle and headed into town the hawk being released behind her flying towards help.
Yggdrasil stood there for a bit a a Dremora warrior and Dremora Mage standing by him as the other creatures came out a little at a time. Yggdrasil glared at the archers. "take the archers out." Yggdrasil said to the warrior " have our archers get on it." he turned to the mage. "do you know reflect damage magic?" both dremora nodded and did as asked the mage and Yggdrasil started casting reflect damage magic on creatures and Dremora as they walked out of the gate.

“da** it!” Yojin shouted ad gritted his teeth, taking a few steps back he readied a few more arrows. Then hurried back inside. As they closed the gates he took a deep breath. “everyone go back to your houses and take your families to your cellars and lock down your doors!” he shouted waving a hand out as people seemed to panic. He hurried up top the city walls with the other archers. “get down!” one shouted. Yojin snatched a arrow and fired hitting Demora right in the skull. “really?” he asked. “hum,” the guard grunted and gave a small nod as both went back to firing.
Back with the Blades and group [where ever they are o.o] they hurried toward skin grad fast as they could one of the closer groups having Balsa and Rikugou in it. They came from the Imperial city. Balsa practically jumped off her horse. Ruing up to the other gate which the Oblivion gate wasn’t by and started commanding a few groups or Guards and people. “Rikugou, I want you to-- “ she twisted around “oh lovely….he had better been eaten rather then run away like a whimp” she growled and strapped on some armor.
----
“……….” Rikugou watched from behind as a few guards were slaughtered…. Even women and children from the stables and what not… was disgusting. Rikugou’s eyes narrowed, he’d slipped behind the main force and behind the group standing just behind a hill now. Then suddenly he jumped up and dashed over the hill toward the elf. “Yggdrasil!!!!” he shouted , with a bright light he’d summoned his spear and spun around once before firing [throwing] toward him then still ran towards him.

Yggdrasil looked at Rikugou and was grabbed out of the way by the warrior dremora. the mage hissed as it was struck and stumbled back threw the gate. "you mortal cur" the dremora growled, as in the commotion Yggdrasil's decorated hood fell off, revealing his face to all who could see. his face not a bosmer face, though his short stature showed he was part bosmer. his hair had nothing to keep it down so as he stood next to the energy of the gate his hair had been picked up by the energy and started to play with the flame, he looked interesting to say the least. "i will be your opponent" growled the dremora as he met Rikugou with a deadly blade.
{{ooc: sorry i don't know if Falcan would be with him or not}} Aegnor was riding a horse provided by cloud ruler, he though he definitely should get one of his own and not have to 'rent' a horse all the time. he got an uneasy feeling as he neared Skingrad that's when he heard it the cry of alarm and frantic screams of people. he urged his horse into a full gallop. he was coming up on the gate when he saw a dremora warrior and Rikugou fighting. and a very familiar elf mix in red and gold robes, obviously he was the one who opened the gate. he fave turned into a tightly controlled rage, as he leapt from his horse and ran at the elf.
"you!" was all the warning yggdrasil got as he was tackled from behind.
Alessandra had made her way threw the city helping the few that crossed her path, and made it outside where she joined the guard in fighting the Deadra. her falchion almost glowing against the red of the gate. she almost did a double take when she saw Rikugou fighting with the dremora. she cut down a deadra when she saw Aegnor get the conjurer from behind she recognized the elf.
And she thought today was going to be boring....

“uhg.” Rikugou grunted summoning his spear back to his hand [er well it vanished he summoned another one or whatever] his eyes narrowed enough was enough…. He slammed his hand in to the Demora’s Face and blasted him with a wing spell and stabbed him though his body with one quick movement then pulled the spear back out and spun landing a long powerful diagonal slice to the Next daring Demora. But then suddenly got a quick slash to his side, thought another swing was blocked from his back by his cape the impact still was felt hard. He grunted and finished the two off before holding his side he fell to one knee, looking at the almost black blood flowing though his side and fingers. He panted the forced himself to stand readying for another group of otherworldly beings.
Yojin ordered another row of archers readying there weapons but not firing, indeed somehow went from wanting to be pushed aside to leading the archers attacks, ironic no? “Hold fire!” he stated as he saw more people or ‘good-guys’ were in the area. “Ready and hold fire to attack in a wave, you two on the ends focus on shooting down monsters you can. But do not endanger any of our fighters.” he stated commander-like.
Falcan wasn’t to far behind Aegnor, but had to stop a little earlier to kill a few deadra that were trying to get in the other gate.
[sorry so blah x.x]

Alessandra weaved in and out of the deadra as she cut them sliced them. honestly it was a good exercise she hadn't fought in so long. it made her smile rather deviously actually. she recognized a head of familiar blond hair and made her way over to him. "hello my dear." she said with a grin and a wink a she garnered the attention of a few Deadra. she meet them with her falchion.
what she loved about the blade is it wasn't enchanted nothing, just a very, very sharp edge. the blade itself was heavy and more of a hack and hack type sword but she gave it a grace. that and she never could master her 'fathers' strange blade. that was strapped to her back as he meet his end a long time ago at the hands of hunters.
~~~~
Yggdrasil turned as he herd "you!" and got tackled by Aegnor. Yggdrasil slammed into the ground almost expecting his head to smack into something. but Aegnor had protected his head out of reflex.
"you! why?! everything. after everything!" he slammed a fist down and just missed Yggdrasil's head. "stay still dammit!" Aegnor hissed ans even though pinned underneath Aegnor Yggdrasil was still able to evade barely mind you. but get out of the way of Aegnor's fist.
"Aegnor stop!" Yggdrasil hissed. He had to find a way to get Aegnor to stop those punches would kill him. he got a idea rather random at that but he hoped it wouldn't back fire. he shot both his hands forward and brought his face up to Aegnor's kissing him hard, causing Aegnor to stop. Yggdrasil made sure he had stopped before he pulled back. "cam..." was a broken whisper he got yggdrasil gave Aegnor one last kiss but this one was different.
Aegnor felt his body freeze up and fall over. "I'm sorry Aegnor..." he got up bit his finger and placed the bleeding thumb on the pendent and a different portal appeared one to paradise. Yggdrasil gave a small sad smile to Aegnor as he vanished through the portal it closing quickly.
Aegnor was seething but couldn't move as he saw a deadroth step in front of him the great lizard lowered his maw and roared at Aegnor's paralyzed form. the Deadroth raised a clawed arm readying to bring it down to strike the prone Altmer.

Falcan smiled looking towards the She-Vampire and nodded. “always fun meeting this way, but it gets kid of old too.” he smirked sternly then whipped out his two blades and twirled them about before readying them. “but not in the best of moods…..the gate makes things a little more urgent.” he smirked. “When we get done though….remind me to hold and kiss you.” he smirked and sliced though one of the deadra.
---
That moment Rikugou cut down any other creatures In his path and panted. Looking up he saw Aegor fall and Ygg ready to leave, in that second he ran toward them both as fast as he could anyway, for a moment he could had jumped in after Ygg or least he thought he could had been able to. But alas in that moment he say the Altmer still not moving. And the Deadroth moving in. he grunted lightly letting this chance before him be snatched away as he darted back for the elf.
Paralyzed most likely to two reasons ….. Who could blame Aegnor? Lovers passionate kiss and then the kiss of the Lover, paralyzing body….but the first paralyzed his mind…..now Aegnor would die….would the Hybrid elf miss him? Even if not….in the middle of the chaos he would later…..would others miss him? Though not sharing the same passion’s bound. …..others loved him, and would grieve. Aegnor was strong….though had his weaknesses…..half expecting him to fight back harder then ever and other half expecting him to want to lay there and die……
No he wouldn’t be given that choice….not now.
Blood of crimson and red, spill forth covering the half green half smoldered once grassy area of Skingrad. and Aegnor’s face. “..Get up….” a deep voice choked. Rikugou stood in front of Aegnor, spear stabbed though the Deadroth’s chest and out of his back, the dark red shimmering lucid poured from there bodies… both exchanged blows the Deadroth’s clawed sliced open his front, the creature’s large jaws clamped tightly upon Rikugou’s shoulder, blood rushing out of its mouth as well as his body, same for Rikugou, blood dripped from his chin.
The beast fell limp as soon as it did Rikugou’s spear vanished eyes shimmering he held his hand out toward the Beast and cast the most powerful wind spell he’d ever cast yet blowing the beast back and tearing it some before it landed on the ground. Blood flowing from a scratch on his face he grunted falling forward but caught himself putting his leg out in front of himself. He then slowly turned towards Aegnor, and bent down touching his arm lightly fingertips brushing over it… the Altmer’s heart beating quickly, [though cant imagine why…] then grabbed hold of him and started to pull him up. “stand up….” he stated tugging him lightly. “fighting isn’t …..always with a …..blade.” he said. Knowing the elf would fight, he was stronger then most…..people. He would fight on and on….only braking a few times in the meanwhile… he didn’t need to tell him that….but….either way….may as well scold him now….when he himself….might not be able to fight anymore, ever again?
Though Rikugou remained on his feet hand still on Aegnor’s arm. [till he gets up] hair falling down over his eyes, ad around his face. Seemed somewhere in the battle he lost his hair band, log brown hair flowing over his shoulders.
[So sorry for Gming! DX and blood O.O and well everything else if kind of make Aegnor sound weak or something? I was just trying to go for deep ^^;; any who yea just let me know I can always Mod NP >P]]

Yggdrasil entered Paradise a little disturbed not mentally just emotionally disturbed and exhausted. he hoped beyond all hope that Aegnor would not die now. he still felt the elf's comforting presence in his mind. he would surely go mad if he did. he wanted to go back he didn't want to stay in Paradise with his cousin anymore the only thing kept him here was that Martin depended on him.
Yggdrasil sat himself down and placed his face in his hands trying to gather his courage again...
Mankar watched his cousin return to paradise and saw the emotions playing on his face, his cousin was close to breaking and as much as he loved his cousin he would make a better puppet broken. his cousin had power and knowledge he didn't posses. he would start working to get it for himself as soon as his puppet fell into his lap nice and obediently, he saw the marks on his cousins wrist and Raven confirmed it Camthalion was a slave. so somewhere still was the ability to listen and obey like a good little puppet.
Mankar grinned to himself maliciously and Camthalion had no clue...
----
Aegnor he he couldn't process it he knew in the moment Camthalion had kissed him they both felt it there was a sense of peace. there minds linked once again he felt such a deep misery and sorrow and that small spark of hope. he wanted to cry as Camthalion played lover kiss on him with the second kiss. he almost didn't care that the deadroth roared at him and was ready to kill him...let it. but that presence in his mind made up his mind for him, and Rikugou he had to fight.
he tried to fight off the paralysis but it was a good one. Cam had gotten better. he couldn't even watch the battle taking place literally over him though he felt the blood Rikugou's and the Deadroth's fall onto him. though soon he noticed Rikugou try and pick him up he felt the feelings come back into his fingers and slowly but quickly return to the rest of him and the first thing he did was promise himself and Cam this would end and at the same time healed Rikugou, totally with the strongest restoration spell he knew. Aegnor then did a roundhouse kick and sent the dremora coming out of the gate into a spike from the gate impaling it and killing it.
the then prepared a nasty shock spell in his hands as he attacked the few deadra outside of the gate. --- Alessandra grinned and winked at Falcan " will do my dear, will do" she said with a giggle as she stopped a deadric blade with her Falchion she herd it chip and crack as she backed away as a large part of the sword broke off. she all but ripped the deadra apart with her hands pissed. she was seething as she grabbed the larger curves blade from her back it looked odd in her hands like it was too big.
"that sword is going to take a fortune to fix " she said sadly about her Falchion it was her first loves blade, she was saddened by that fact. but maybe she should move on she had a reason too now didn't she? the sword its self had a tassel-like accessory on it which enchanted the blade. it increased its wielders speed and strength making the sharp curving blade all that deadlier when in the hands a swordsman or woman.
" i do agree meeting like this is getting old... but alas maybe this trip into oblivion should be interesting i mean i am going with you" she winked at Falcan as she danced in and out of the blades her sword marking hard and quick she herself only receiving scratches. she was happy the deadra coming out of the gate was winding down...

Falcan smiled lightly then paused eyes wide as her sword broke. “uhg…sorry.” he winced slightly then sliced one or two more Deadra down. “maybe that blacksmith ca fix it.” he stated then made a ‘X’ with his blades in front of him and readied himself before cutting more down. “wait what-- y-you cant go in there its to dangerous, and the fire!” he gasped looking back at her getting a small cut on his shoulder he growled and threw his hand out blasting the Demora in the face with a shock spell. “heeey….would ya look at that.” he looked at his had like he’d never used magic before. [rofl]
----
Rikugou nodded a thanks to Aegnor healing him or least most his wounds. Though still bleeding he was ready to fight. Spells just never had but so much effect on him good or bad. But that aside he was still powerful enough to move on. Though remained quite once again.
At the same time Yojin commanded a few more fires of arrows towards more deadra, now almost all of them were gone. And Balsa had got everyone to safe areas, though she wanted to fight, it was good to keep a strong warrior or few inside the city behind the gate, incase they got though. “ya’ll better hurry now, whatever your going to do, we can hold them!” she shouted aloud.
“hum.” Yojin nodded jumping down, and working his way toward the gate. And readied a few arrows taking his place next to Balsa. “Yes take care of things here.” he stated sternly. Balsa looked to Yojin then took a deep breath. “GO!” she shouted: “And if anyone dies, Ill drag your ***es back from he** and kill you again!” she shouted.
Falcan smirked and nodded darting towards the Gate.

Alessandra gave Falcan a look and said "i came prepared" she said gesturing at all her jeweled fingers "hence why i am even outside" she said as the carved decorative sun bounced as she ran, she kept up with him running towards the gate.
Aegnor was closest to the gate he herd Balsa shout and laughed turning towards the gate.
"well Rikugou are you ready?" he started then his brow furrowed he grabbed a health potion and handed it to him "here it is the least could do you saved my life." he said as he turned to the gate and touched the flame its absorbing him into oblivion.
he looked about in oblivion this one was slightly different than the other one it had four or five smaller towers surrounding the large tower and the whole things blocked by gates. he waited for the others. this one didn't look like a walk in the merry park like the last two he and Falcan went into.

Falcan looked towards her and smirked lightly then shook his head. “alright, they wont know what hit them.” he stated with a nod as he ran to the gate pausing a moment before entering being engulfed in flames. Finely Rikugou took up the back, putting the potion Aegnor gave him away ad entered weapon vanishing for now.
Once inside Falcan looked around and grunted. “oh fun…” he bit his lip, this gate seemed like was going to be tougher then the others, “prepare for the worst.” he sighed. Rikugou looked at him then Aegnor who seemed to be stronger then ever right now, which was good to see. Falcan looked about once more. “where to start?” he asked voice low as not to draw attention to them.

Aegnor nodded at Falcan's words. "this seems like one giant puzzle but how much you want to bet those smaller towers contain the mechanisms to open all the gates?" Aegnor said speaking softly most of the deadra that would have littered the area were dead on the other side dead near Skingrad. though Aegnor looked puzzled at the dead Dremora mage laying on the ground with a spear wound in its chest.
Alessandra gazed at Oblivion so this was Mehrunes Dagon's realm of oblivion. from every book she read every source she read or listened to couldn't prepare her for it. she was not disgusted per say or overjoyed she was curious of all things. she wanted to explore and she had that look on her face.
she was going to say something when they herd a scream from the main tower. "what was that?" she said softly going with the same tone the others were using quiet. "sounds like someone got caught by Dremora." Aegnor said he seemed fine and dandy but he was going to sleep a long time and punch anyone who disturbed him after this fiasco. "well shall we go save the said captive?" he said gesturing towards the towers. " should we split up?"

Falcan smirked lightly. “maybe but least two people per group?” he asked then looked to his Vampire mistress. “well?” he asked and smiled kindly then looked toward the tower. “we’ll take these two, you can Rikugou mind taking those?” he asked. Rikugou just nodded saying nothing he summoned his spear with a shimmer of light.
After everything was agreed Falcan gave a nod and spoke. “Be careful…” he stated. “I fear Balsa bringing us back to life to kill us.” he smirked and gave a small solute. Rikugou nodded and then looked toward Aegnor, giving a light ‘You ready?’ look.

Aegnor nodded. " sounds good alright Rikugou, tot eh left we go. see you in the middle you two." he said as he quietly headed to the side. his mind racing, so many things who could be up their in the main tower. and what state would they find the poor thing in?
------
Alessandra nodded and looked to Falcan. her red eyes still holding its curious gleam.
"shall we?" noticing the others went left which left her and Falcan to the two right ones. she wondered how would it work would they stick together or separate? as she started towards that direction. she noticed the only way in was the towers.
"you know whats sad it looks like we will have to climb the towers unlock whatever and go back down then climb the inside of the main tower..." she turned to falcan her black hair was in a braid messy and rapidly done. "it looks interesting are all planes like this?" she asked curiously as she inspected a harada root which whiped at her much to her surprise. a small strip of a cut appeared on her cheek. she reached up to her cheek eye blinking as she took a step away from the plant.
