From the world of Abarria he is an unusual creature with a body drenched in magic, his very existence like a shadowy formation of the magical aether that flows from that world. Malice, deception, and even the sensation of pain seem foreign concepts to this being as he seems at times like a child, questioning and curious. Listening well, one can hear the creature's heartbeat resonate softly.
Naturally gifted with the powers of aether, he can change form, stretch outwards and manipulate his magic into the form of pure force without elemental qualities, as well as being able to squeeze through places seemingly impossible for more solid based creatures. Despite this he seems often solid solid enough to actually be hurt. His most notable ability is to melt into a shadowy pool and move about quickly this way, however given the inherent brightness of this world he can't hide very well this way...
He has, however, an odd stigma about how people look at him. Growing agitated or panicked when people show fear towards him, showing that this being has lived a life of persecution and resentment. No wonder, though, his very existence a testament of a defilement of "Great Mother Abarranne" by the betrayer "Raa'lm the Solemn Vow" making him a child of one of the greatest downfalls the world has ever faced.
What will it be that defines him?

Morpheus
A strange shadowy creature with a tendency to grin maniacally. He seems somewhat... simple in ways, or is this a facade?

Description
So begins...
Morpheus's Story
She opens her eyes and reaches out grabs his hand her ears perk up. she smiles "This... is different. I need time to rest to process it. I wont be able to use it for quite a while so i can use it at max. Thanks, I will... see what I can do." she then lays back down and closes her eyes.
-meanwhile-
Mage hunter is kicking the downed decoy. he then steps on its head "Hmm..... nice trick."

Mia sat up her ears perked, seeing the newest comer she stood up. "Friendly?" then she seen the creatures. "hm..." she sits down. "I guess you're not."
Morpheus begins to walk towards an area gaining his attention the most, what he perceives to be the way to the center, guided by only vague sensations, the sense of pain he felt earlier. He leaves behind a husk-like version of himself, minus the armor, that continues guarding Mia, a possible perk to having a phantom-like body.
"Great, now I'm no longer the only beast here..." He grumbles to himself. "Be it best we not meet, and I make this quick."
As he walks down this path he sees more of the Crimson growths, as well as sensing Aranel and traces of the others who passed through here. His sight seeing everything as colorless except glowing spectral trails, a faded blue trail from Molkrii passing through earlier and the strange null trail of Liana's beasts. Quietly passing by these he stops to notices a series of strange glyphs marking various branching paths. He grins slightly.
"Perhaps I can play a game of my own...."
He proceeds to start changing the glyphs with his illusions, masking the markers that lead the way, the machina themselves start to seem confused, the lesser ones bumping into walls like there is supposed to be a path there, acting as if their sensors have been scrambled. He proceeds to move on using only his intuition.
Bear with it for now strange little creatures. Just a delay for a certain blue and red. The truth you will see, Mia.

Aranel was running so fast she accidentally ran into Mage when he stopped. "hold on and sorry for running into you. Listen you want ice brain right? Let me connect to this place to help heal it. While I do so I'll search for the real one. You will have to touch my skin, with yours, like a hand or something, but if you do so you will see what I do. Okay? she asked Mage.
Aranel sighed in frustration. "Fine you wanna be that way be that way. I'll just do it anyway." she walked over to the wall and began running her fingers over the wall till she found a panel. Once she found one she pulled it off and slipped inside the wall pulling the panel back on behind her. She then put her palms out searching for a vein that connected to the life force of a machine. Once she found it she sent a quick message to Morph and Mia. ***"I have found what I need to connect and start healing this place. It might take an awful lot and I hope I get to make it but if not... Stay safe.*** she then plunged her hands into the stream and closed her eyes. A golden glow emerged from her hands as she connected and started to heal it. She dropped to her knees almost immediately in pain feeling the pain of the machine but still she kept healing it, gritting her teeth for the sake of Chaos and her friends. She screamed as the pain increased, she could feel herself fading, though she was still putting everything in her into healing.
The husk of Morpheus murmurs, its voice hollow.
"This is the shell of Morpheus... I have already moved ahead. This husk will assist Mia and..." He seems suddenly distracted looking in Aranel's general direction. "What... what is she thinking..!?

Aranel screamed again her lifeforce ebbing so weak it was barely there anymore. "I'LL NOT LET YOU DIE!!!! MY FRIENDS MUST LIVE!!!!"
Aranel screamed in excruciating pain as the connection she had to Chaos was interrupted. Her magic rebounded back onto her almost crushing her. "NOOOOO!!!! I HAVE TO SAVE THEM!!!!!" she screamed tears streaming down her face.
Aranel began sobbing. "What is that your holding to my head." she asked through sobs holding onto him shaking and breaking down in front of him, feeling helpless and weak.
Aranel froze completely as she heard these voices in her head *am I the only one hearing this?* she thought to herself. Her eyes became distant unseeing as she was pulled into the memory. When it was done she still wasn't fully back to herself.
Aranel blinked. "You did what?" she asked. ***"Morpheus, Mia. I'm sorry. I was being stupid trying to take the burden on my own to try and save you guys, because I care about you."*** she thought to them through their necklace links.
"sorry i was talking to my AI" He says as he tuns around to continue his conversation.
----Mia----
***"Its ok you were doing what you thought was right."*** she says somewhat distracted.
----Mia----
***"Its ok you were doing what you thought was right."*** she says somewhat distracted.
"What do I do with it?" she asked confused. As she comes from a past time she has never seen medicine or pills.
Thaumara materialized next to Aranel, touching her forehead gently with her index finger. The halfling's body crumples on the floor, and Aranel's spirit floats up next to her. She smiles as the pill drops and rolls out of Aranel's fingers. "Aranel Rose Knightblade. I am Thaumara. You may have heard me earlier as I claimed you."
Thaumara tipped her head to the side and closes her glowing eyes briefly. When they open again, lavender smoke was swirling around the halfling. "I have given you the scent of Null. You can briefly control Liana's beasts. This will decide if you are friend or foe. But I warn you. Furor's contestant is greatly favored by him and she also holds tints of the Null. The monsters will not attack her unless Liana gives the command, and even then I doubt they can kill her."
Shaking her head, Thaumara finishes up. "My time is short, halfling. I do expect you to win, and maybe kill something in my honor?" She morphs into Aranel's mother, smiling and drawing the elven glyph of peace in the air. "Farewell, my contestant. I do hope you are able to win."
With that, she blew away in pieces like sand, and a soft scent of wood smoke was left in the wind as Aranel was returned to her solid form.

Aranel sat up with a gasp. "We may be able to beat her now, and make sure she can't hurt anyone else." she whispered to herself. Grinning she looked around for the Null beasts that could help her and urged a few to her. "Lead me to the icy one please?" she asked and watched it start in a direction Aranel hadn't even seen. She stood and and dragged Mage up with her. *"Thank you Thaumara. I'll not waste this precious gift you have given me."* she sent her. "Come on Mage hurry, we have to find her and finish this, follow me." she said enthusiastically and took off running following the direction of the null creature. She had hope in her heart again and she was ready to defeat the ice on and win. She wasn't going to waste her wish on simple things, no, her wish would be for her companions to each have their own wish granted to them. She was now determined to reach the heart, heal it and make her wish.
Molkrii looked up to the huge board covered in switches and buttons. Hopefully that stupid Mage Hunter was still blundering after her orbs. She could feel them coming, however, and knew that her luck had run out. She snarled in a feral manner and slammed a button, hearing explosions in the distance. She checked her radar and saw a tunnel turn red right in front of her pursuers.
Molkrii smiled cruelly, knowing that the collapsed tunnel won't hold them for long. She pushes more similar buttons, watching the maze crumble in front of her foes. She started running down a hallway, and then noticed a crosshatch of pipes on the ceiling. Slowing down, Molkrii leapt up onto one of them. She looked around and noticed a hole in the rusted and corroded metal above. She narrowed her eyes, analyzing the ceiling. It was very weak in some places.
Molkrii sent a bolt of ice onto the metal, and it froze over. She punched the roof, shattering the icy film and denting the plates. Pulling out her blade, she sliced it open with ease. Grabbing the edges, she ripped off a few plates, making a hole that she slipped through. Her armor flipped again, fixing itself, and Molkrii looked around.
It was a mess of winding tubes and metal. Molkrii checked her radar, and figured out which tubes her adversaries were in. She smiled, sending bolts of ice that spiked down into the tubes. She spotted a tall white building in the distance, sitting on the maze of metal. She began making her way to it, feeling some sort of aura... like a god.
Maybe Molkrii was getting close.
Ahead of Molkrii a familiar presence is felt, having moved on nonstop he continues forward in his new armored shell guided only by that pain he felt earlier.
"So... here we are again." He mutters, a somber tone in his voice. "I do wonder why it is we came at odds, we share some form of kinship. At least... I felt that. After all, we are both creatures of habit, and it is neither of our faults."
Morpheus had attained a strong sense of vindication, and was not about to let go of it so easily. Like a heartbeat, what aether is in the air resonates strongly like a heartbeat, magical auras seem to shudder from each pulse. He's not far away, nor is he making an effort to hide his presence.
"You ever ponder the point of our survival?" He questions, holding out one of his claws to the side, the gleam of the strange light in the area reflecting off the machina fragments adorned on his body. "When the mountains crumble, when all creatures turn to dust, and when the sun and moon die... what is the point of it all to just survive if in the end it leads only towards absolute isolation?"
Screeching of metal is heard as the Crimson growths trail along the floors and along the walls, but they seem to behave evasively towards Morpheus and Molkrii. Not fear, but more so it seems it intend not to be between either of them.
"I was born this way, but you used to be something else... perhaps once upon a time you were just a relatively normal person, having good days and bad days but overall a decent life... only to have it taken from you. Despite them all being dead, you are still bound up in strings." The sound of the scratches suddenly stops but the rhythm in the aether continues. The pulses stronger, but also steadier, something very unlike the savage and wild presence Morpheus had before when they first met. "That is why I can only pity you, and... forgive you. If we fight, I will no longer hold any malice, but instead mercy."
