The youngest of eight brothers, Moonlight and his older brothers were called to arms to defend the honor of their younger sister. The sister's tongue was taken from her in an act of defiance by a rival House's Matron. As a result, Moonlight and his kin annihilated the rival House, leaving no trace of their existence, save the wreckage of the war. Moonlight knows many languages and recently picked up Drow Sign Language as a way to help translate for his sister, Silence, though he's not exactly perfected the art.

Moonlight, is rather talented with magics, though not so much in the art of the swords. His sister Silence, who often served as a sparring partner, quickly began winning their matches as she got older, to the point where Moonlight hasn't won a bout in years. Coming from a powerful Noble House, Moonlight's education and training was spared no expense. Drow are matriarchal, and thus Moonlight was allowed a degree of freedom; never being expected to take up the House's mantle. One day that duty will fall on younger sister, Silence, and to that end Moonlight does his best to guide and protect her; sometimes it borders on coddling, but he takes cares not to veer into that territory too much.

His twin curved swords are made of a sky-metal, and are light and durable. The cloak was enchanted by his mother and was as strong as steel, which was probably for the best, as he was often the target people's ire due to his penchant for speaking his mind. His favorite mask, was a trophy of war and though it isn't magical he is very fond of it and plans on enchanting it himself.

So begins...

Peter turns as he hears the noise from behind them, and sees the fellow stumbling towards him. "Howdy! You alright?" He asks the man, slightly wary.

Peter's hand may have strayed to his holster, but it was quickly withdrawn to extend out to the stumbling man in a gesture of help.

The man who despite the tattered clothes appeared fairly in good health, he instinctively reached for a holster at his own belt, which held a sleek yet charred, alien looking firearm.

There was an obvious language barrier, as the strange man didn't seem to understand Peter's words.

Peter's hand slowly comes to his lower back, gripping the handle of his machete lest drawing the pistol upset the man, who did, in fact, seem to be armed. His other arm raised still in a gesture meant to be reassuring, he takes a measured step towards the man.

Moonlight stared expectantly at the newcomer. Peter and Hazel probably didn't know what the Aschen had attempted on Earth, hell maybe the newcomer didn't even know. Regardless, he was obviously not Terran, and the Aschen were bad news no matter how you found them. Especially considering Hazel was from Kansas

The strange man took a step back at Peter's step forward, allowing the light to hit the tattered insignia on his officer's cap, the metallic sheen of a phoenix motif, one of the most recognizable emblems in the Galaxy glinted in the light briefly. The only thing the strange man could remember was fire, unending nuclear fire.

His hand moved away from the weapon holstered at his hip. His pebble grey eyes leveled to match Moonlight's expectant stare, and then they flitted to the third, a child.

His parched lips parted to speak, his voice gravely, worn even.

"Ego deserde asordo."

He uttered the words in his native language, with it's soft vowels and fluid pronunciation. It was one of the more well known spoken languages in the Galaxy, the language of the Ancients, and only one modern civilization was known to speak it.

/write Peeking out from behind the others, Haze snuck a glance at the strange man. She gave a quick and cautious wave before ducking away again.

"Abicieris." The wildest urge to draw his sword and lunge at the newcomer continued to rise in Moonlight's heart, but his sword wasn't resting at his waist, and it hadn't been for a very long time; not since he had arrived in Genesis. With a sigh, all feelings of hostility left the dark elf, and he mumbled lamely, mostly to himself, "Enim lupin purnum pravus intus..." He hadn't spoken the tongue in... How long had he been here anyways..?

Suddenly remembering himself, Moonlight turned to Peter and Hazel, "He's asking for help..."

The man reached out, steadying his stance with the weight of his charred, and even melted boots, the dark skinned Xeno seemed to know his words, he put two and two together as he watched the Xeno translate his words to his friends, or so it seemed in the context.

"Taonas." The man said, holding out his arm, showing the tattered uniform he was wearing. It took him a moment to find his vocabulary, but he tried to remember.

"What is this place?" He finally spoke, this time in Common, after regaining his composure, steadying himself against a nearby boulder. "Am I dead?"

"Dion." He replied, pushing himself off of the boulder. "The last thing I remember... my ship, self destructed, and then I found myself here. I'm not sure how." His common words bore a heavy greco-italic accent, which marred, and mangled his words, and his pronunciation.

Hearing Dion's question, Moonlight winced slightly, "First time?" Would Hazel panic if she knew she was dead? Hell, would Peter panic? Not everyone took the news well. "Well, Hazel was swept up in a hurricane. Dion's ship exploded in nuclear fire. Peter, I'm willing to bet your last memory of the Mortal Coil was similarly painful?"

How had Moonlight died? A lot of different ways, how had he died most recently..? It was all very fuzzy still, not that it really mattered. "What really even is death anyways?"

"Huh. Well, Dion, although I don't know you, I suppose you want to leave as well?" Peter inquires.

Dion offered a simple shrug.

β€œIf there is a way out, I have no doubt I have been written off as dead by my people.” He answered, and then looked out to the horizon. β€œI had over a thousand souls aboard, I wonder if they are all here? Maybe Charon saw fit to bring me here?”

Dion’s mind was swirling with questions, and his eyes fell on Peter.

β€œSo how did you die, if this place is indeed some afterlife?”

"That is the exact problem with your people," Moonlight muttered quietly to himself, "And this isn't the afterlife, we're not DEAD. Well, we are-were; our bodies are dead." The explanation left much to be desired, even for Moonlight. "It's hard to explain..." He briefly debated using magic to draw some sort of diagram in the rock, but it really didn't matter if they could get out of here. "You of all people should understand, Dion. Isn't it like, your whole religion?! An enlightened mind frees the spirit and the body matters not." He may have been paraphrasing, but he was certain that was the gist of what Anubis had taught him.

"More likely your thousand souls are in Hel, awaiting judgment or enjoying their afterlife. You might even be there, have been there? Have been going to be there? Have been going to have been there...?" By the Gods why was common so difficult to make concise. "Regardless you had unfinished business and you won't let sleeping wargs lie. Whatever that business was, that's why you're here..." He continued slowly, but his words were much quieter, barely a whisper, "A sense of duty? Not wanting to leave your aunt alone... Or something so horrible one chooses to forget it..." Finishing the thought, Moonlight found his eyes trained on Peter.

Averting his gaze, he quickly pointed to the bluish glow emanating from a crack in the mountain. "Exit is right there... If you can get to it." Taking a moment, Moonlight assessed Dion a little more closely. Most people get stuck in Genesis, it was damn near miraculous Moonlight had managed to follow Hazel and Peter out, but Dion wandered over here like it was nothing. Leave it to the Aschen to create a fanatic so obsessed that they refuse to stay dead.

Hazel furrowed her brow as Moonlight explained their situation. Her Catholic upbringing rejected the idea, assuring her that she must be dreaming. But the agnostic side of her whispered, Why would it not be true? We have no way of knowing that. And does it even matter if we can return home? She shook her head slightly and said,

So... if we go through there, we can get back home? That seems so... simple.
