Durza knew something was wrong and wanted to help but he had no idea were the voices were coming from or how to help. "WHERE ARE YOU!?! I KNOW YOU NEED HELP SO HOW CAN I GET TO YOU!?!" he shouted hoping someone will reply to him.

"YES! Exactly Sozen... Protect the realm, not interfere. Which is what you and the other god have done. This time there will be no gods but me and Lotzu'ul Mindah." He quickly brought sozen to his lair and forced sozen into a cage. "Good luck escaping now... LOOK AROUND YOU... DO THESE BODIES LOOK FAMILIAR!" All around his lair are the deceased lesser gods.

Durza jumps back in surprize saying "whoa? What's going on here?" he the noticed that their was wounded so he said "you have wounded alow me." he went up to Halhaven and started using his power to heal Halhaven.

"Wrong. Those many years ago when you trained the first champions i destroyed the heart. There is nothing left of it now. But... if I use your power I can create a new one. At lest then you'll know that the death's of all the gods would not be in vain sozen. perhaps then you'll no longer interfere." Apollyon laid a black crystal beneath sozens cage. As he let go of it the crystal began to glow and it started to create an energy feild around sozen. "While you are acupied with your emprisonment perhaps I can finally get some shut eye." As apollyon finally laid down and fell into a deep slumber.

Durza looked at him and said "yea good luck with that. Look your friend is injured so let me help."

Durza rolls his eyes and says "well then he got some extra power out of it then. Besides you couldn't kill me even if you tried and trust me many have tried, each one stronger then the last, and all have failed."

Durza rolled his eyes and said "your right they weren't. They were so powerful that it made gods tremble with fear. If this god was of convexaty then he should have been much more powerful. And to think that convexaty was my second strongest element. Well i guess it's time for me to get back to work."

It was about this time Lucien's eyes flashed open, feeling the recent event's energy flows from his sleep. Charging into the area to se scorch marks and broken crystals, "What happened? Where is Sozen?" His eyes turned a bright golden hue as he looked about, "Traces of portal based magic, high intensity fire. It struck something before burning the ground," he then turned sharply to what was to be the exit portal, "King Halhaven!" He zipped through quickly to find Shade and Halhaven on the ground. And a new comer now stood with them. His eyes staying their brilliant golden color, he glared at Durza, "And who are you? Did you cause this?" He stepped up next to Shade.

sage stepped in "Calm yourself Lucien, twas not him, someone much worse, apollyon..."

Durza looked at Lucien and said "no i did not do this. If anything i have no idea as to what the hell is going on here. I'm only trying to help. My name is Durza. And you are?"

Lucien's eyes returned to their natural crystal blue, "Apollyon," he repeated lowly, making a low sigh. Looking back up to Durza, "I am Lucien," he looked down to Halhaven, "These burns are like nothing I've seen before. I cannot perform healing myself, any other assistance we can acquire would be exceptional."

Durza smiled "well luckaly for you, you got some right here" Durza started having healing spiritual energy flow through him and went up to Halhaven and placed a paw on him and began to resume his work from earlyer "it'll take a little wighle but i can get him as good as new shortly. It should only take me about a half an hour at longest to fix him up. While i'm doing that you can fill me in on what the hell is going on."

After 15 minuts Durza grew impationt "are you going to fill me in on what's going on or not?"

Lucien stamped a paw, causing some fire to swarm up around his foreleg. As it faded, "We cannot grant him victory. We must do whatever it takes to stop Apollyon," he kneels down to the king's side, "I will protect this land, the way you have in your life time, and I promise to never give up."

Durza nodded and said "ok well who is this Apollyon you speak of? I'd like to know what i'm up against after all and i never heard of him. ether way you have my support. this is going to be a good battle. and i've never lost a battle."

Durza nodded "i've delt with my fair share of world eaters. i have something like the cosmic heart but i'm not eternal. i will help however i can. now show me these silver scales."

Durza says softly "shiacogon" and his eyes turn purple and thw pupils become x shaped slits. He looks at the scales and sees the convexity radiating off of them and begins to locate the sorce. He finds a trail but it's weak. "it would take time but i may be able to locate your friend."

Ooc: Durza has been going from demension to demension so it makes sense that he can track him across demensions.

Sage stayed at the kings side, "well, whatever we do, we must do it quickly, time is our enemy, and we are already losing."

Durza nodded and started to focuse on the location with the scales as a conduit and a surge of convexaty started to flow from him. He raised his paw and with one claw started bringing it down opening a portal to Sozen's location.

(Im gonna call it here nd say wait for zartose now ill be heading over to his place tomorrow)

Ooc: don't worry the portal isn't open yet so i'll wait.

I'll do one better.

as Durza opened the portal it abruptly closed on him. He grpwled in frustration and said "damn. This is going to take longer then i thought."

The moment the portal was open a great mighty force of fear and despair falls upon the group you all see Apollyons mighty form and he is becoming more powerful with each passing second. before you can all react the portal closes and a white flame lurches forth and licks Durza, shade and sage.

"Quickly... y-y-you... must... find the Draconomicon..." those were the only words that King Halhaven could muster.

"It... is at the very center... of the...Dragonical library... But we must be catious... if we are not worthy of the knowledge within the library... we could get trapped there forever." Halhaven could barely stand; but the healing element was working... slowly.

Durza was breathing hevily saying "well that was new."

Durza smiled saying "well we better get to work on finding Draconomicon. Because he was ugly."

Lucien stood a little shaken on the inside, but did not display his surprise on the outside, "How can we tell if any of us are worthy? If we all go in at once, and one of us does retrieve it, how will we know everyon can get out?" He questioned.

"Risk Versus Reward, my friend, anyone willing to make that kind of sacrifice in my mind, could not be more worthy." Sage stood there tall in his commitment to this quest, "We shall not falter, we cannot, we will not lose, we wont, we cant afford to. We are strong, as strong as apollyon no, but our forefathers were, and we WILL be, he underestimates us and this will be his downfall, we will get our friend back and we will keep the king alive, and we will be Victorious." Sages chest was puffed out in determined fervor.

Durza nodded in agreement saying "agreed now lead the way."

"I think I can fly... if we walk it would take to long... I would say to teleport... but an ancient magic resides over the library... this will be the first test..." King Halhaven stood up as best he could. He began hovering shortly then fell to the ground landing heavily on one of his wings. A loud crunch came from underneath him as he let out a thunderous pain filled roar.

Durza went over to him "easy. next time let me do the dangerous test." and got to work on healing him.

"i can fix it, but he wont be able to fly with it for a while." said Durza.
