Round 2 - 1 ;; Aftermath

[lufenia]

[The battle fades around you, and once again, you feel almost as though you are in a dream. The feeling only lasts a moment, before you awaken in your room, off of the stronghold of your god. A voice echoes in your ear, and though the speaker is not visible, you can feel them around you.]

[Unlike the previous times Cosmos has spoken, her voice is

CHAOS

[lufenia]

[The huge throne that stands at the head of the Edge of Madness is now even more imposing, due to the huge four-armed being occupying it. Two of his hands are folded in front of him, and he stares down balefully toward any warriors that draw near. A dark, turbulent aura seems to surround him- do you dare draw close?]

[silentbeyond]

[Exdeath doesn't have questions. He does have something, though.

Wounds sustained during the previous battle must have weakenned the dragoon, because he is being telekinetically forced to walk a few steps ahead of Exdeath as the tree heads at his own agonizingly slow pace toward the throne. It's only when they reach it that he lets go.]

A traitor.

[bound_skyward]

[It was that battle with that irritating lightning-magic woman. What he wouldn't give for a rematch right now. Kain struggles futilely to move against the telekinetic force guiding him. There's considerable rage in his expression. Being forced against his will is beyond loathsome.]

[Once let go, he gasps in pain and nearly collapses, but then forces himself to straighten and stubbornly face Chaos.]

[lufenia]

[Chaos watches the slow procession toward his throne with an inscrutable expression, and vague interest. He does nothing to stop Exdeath's treatment of the dragoon. When Kain finally straightens, he turns his attention to him.]

Have you nothing to say for yourself? Or are you just as Exdeath says?

COSMOS

[lufenia]

[A warm glow now emanates from the throne in the center of Order's Sanctuary. At its center, a woman sits, her hands folded in her lap. If it were not for the light that seems to constantly surround her, and even fill her, she would be an ordinary, if beautiful, woman. She waits calmly, as if expecting the warriors that fill the Sanctuary to approach. Will you?]

[whtmagprodigy]

[Not quite!

Almost, though. She floats a little way away, half hidden behind the closest convenient thing to hide behind. And stares.]

[lufenia]

[She may be hiding, but that won't hide her for long. Soon enough, Cosmos turns her gaze toward what can be seen of the bitty.]

You do not need to hide, Porom.

[whtmagprodigy]

Um-

[She fidgets a little in her hiding place, then floats over to the Goddess.]

[eblans_finest]

[Stares at the beautiful woman on the throne before him. So, this was the woman they called Cosmos.]

Cosmos, I presume?

[lufenia]

Yes. Do you have questions for me, Edge?

[eblans_finest]

Yes, I do. How come I didn't lose my memories when I first came to this place?

[lufenia]

You were not brought from the very beginning of the war, but came in after, before it had begun. You have not been revived after the end of a battle, and thus your memories remain.
