Zehanpuryu's Story
- Seen 22 Times • Page 1 of 2 • 1, 2
Slowly, he got himself to his feet. It was a task, but he managed to do it.
A dream, of course. Were these people climbing with the same cause as he? Should he ask? Gripping the rope, Casren tested it's weight.
Seemed legit.
With all of his force, Casren leaned back on the rope and climbed. One foot, another foot, another foot-He kept having to adjust his hands to account for the berth of the ice bowl.
Halfway up, of course, he slipped, and flew like a pendulum in a wide arc. What goes up must come down. Casren went reeling backwards in the opposite direction, holding onto the rope for dear life and dangling.
Dangling. Whew. Alive. Carefully, Casren regained his footing. One..two..three...He stood. Why the hell did it have to be an icy mountain? One foot in front of the other, Casren slowly made his way towards the lipof the bowl.
He called up, waddling towards the rope. Boy was he lucky to find people who knew what they were doing out here! It had been literally two hundred years since Casren had climbed a mountain. Why is he climbing a mountain?Thank you!

Suddenly, the cacaphony of a thousand deadening silences erupted violently across the side of the mountain as the snowfall suddenly hung motionless in the air. The distinct feeling of fear and awe rippled downward from the sky, striking deep into the heart of the mountain below—and so it trembled.
The lightness of the circumstance felt like all the weight of gravity had been lifted. Likewise, the weight of Casren on the rope juxtaposed itself in mid-air—putting him in a precarious position as he had grabbed onto the rope and pulled at that exact moment.

“
This path leads to destruction; of solace and resolve alike. Tali'van'eh, the coming will be. Beware the road ahead.
”
The booming voice of the figure before them had a strangely curled tone, an echo, that spun backwards and landed firmly on the breaking syllables of the words themselves. The bizarre harmony of the voice rattled rock and bone alike, turning hero into coward with the mere utterance of a sound.
With that, the figure—which appeared to have been there all along—vanished as miraculously as it had existed prior, leaving the snow falling to the ground once more, and with it everything that too had been suspended in Zehanpuryu's presence.

In the next moment there was nothing to be thought, no worries to be had. On the threads of reality hung crystalline particles of snow in the air, the very snow that had just been cascading towards Terra with intent. He, too, was suspended. Gravity seemed to no longer exist as they knew it. Casren sit in the air, looking up to the lip of the bowl again. Simultaneously, the deepest fear this vampire could ever experience would awaken deep within his heart. The rope fell slack in his hands, his eyes came to rest on the figure.
The warning came,
It was an ominous echo that rang as loud as it did true. Casren goggled at the dark figure, which was suddenly gone. How long had it been watching them? Casren barely had time to complete the thought before suddenly, he was falling.
He grabbed for the rope in vain, plummeting head over heels backwards, down to the bottom of the bowl. The man didn't even try to brace himself, just flopped down like a rag doll. His coherence was lost somewhere between the thoughts of the dream of the Temple and whatever the hell had just happened.
Flop, Casren again lay at the center of the pit.

The setting changes from A Perilous Incline to Aberash
A raucous clap of thunder accompanied the streak of light that seared the sky with an emblazoned arc of brilliance. The solitary column of illumination seemed so sudden—instantaneous—that the accompanying shockwave that swept outward moments later were but an echo of its arrival. As sudden as it had come, it fragmented into shards of particular light that hung idly in the atmosphere for naught but a moment before vanishing entirely.
Somewhere, dozens of long Aberashian days west (even by Gargantua travel), a massive plume of debris and clutter erupted into the air as the demoted landed in a heap. The silence that had predicated the arrival was broken only by the sound of a thousand raining fragments of earth and materia, leaving behind it a wake of soothing sounds amidst the destruction.
Retribution had indeed been swift, but perhaps the future might yet be swayed.

Zehanpuryu rose from the ashes, the air crackling with the energy of a thousand suns. With exile, perhaps the warning would be enough to tilt the tides of time.
Zehanpuryu hovered for a moment putting a foot down upon the rubble.
Heading towards Vintu, Zehanpuryu stepped forward and began the journey towards redemption. The heavens were waiting, and there was no time to waste.

The setting changes from Aberash to Gian Di Park
Ryan Berentes had arrived in Vien safe, checked into his room, handled some minor business, and was now taking his time to finally relax. Gian Di Park was a spot he had been meaning to visit his past few trips here, but had never gotten to. It was famous all throughout Vintu and beyond. Stones shaped by wind reached and piled towards the sky. Lichens formed all over them. Brush and trees grew where they wanted. The little patch of wilderness was relaxing to Ryan Berentes. It was an escape from his life as a Hunter, as a husband, and everything else. Supposedly in this great city there was a champion he should sponsor. Sure, many came to him with their ideas-friends and family members, the lot.
This year the Gargantua were extra erratic. There was something that had gotten into them, as if they had been spooked by a new presence in the world. Nobody could quite figure it out, but it would take skill to be victor of the Hunt this time.
Arriving within Vien upon Aberash, his position of arrival on the outer parts of the Gian Di Park, tucked away out of sight, in a back alley, stepping out his cloak no longer wrapped about his form, allowing it to hang freely like a cape, he carried himself as an adventurer, a hunter and a warrior, his stride almost a march as he passed through the streets.
time in the astral warped the traveler's perception of time and their senses, Yvandír's keen senses were always hit hard when he passed through the plane that connected all but he always swiftly recovered, stopping mid-stride, coming to a stop, he had sensed another like himself, another immortal being, he shok his head and moved into the park, finding a bench to take a seat on. "did not expect another god, or they could be a goddess, never know" he found himself enjoying the serene picturesque landscape.

The setting changes from Gian Di Park to Aperture
Zehanpuryu looks over their shoulder, glancing at the newcomer. Was this a mortal or a divine? Uncertain, Zehanpuryu decides that it's best to leave.
“
A gate has been presented. There is a city dusted in magnificence, in a land that seems barren from afar. Something strange is going on there. There are many who can guide you.
”
“
I was about to ask where it led
”
“
To a place in need...
”
“
That's why Amaterasu sent me to the spirit realm here. In return for her blessing of my return to life.
”
“
Well, should we go in?
