'we won't die,' he promised, hands gripped around the edge of his blade. a time when his hair bleeds inky-black instead of frosted-white. there are bags underneath his eyes from nightmares everlasting, but the smile that touches his lips is genuine and true. the sound of giggling children and dragon hatchlings echo in the distance as he steps forward, touching the tips of his glowing blades against her sword-bow.

'we can't die. because we must go home.'[break][break]

and home was the thing that they would return to — no matter the cost. even if it was the cost of their lives.
[break][break]
[attr="class","cp cp-snowflake"]
[break]
he had no choice.
[break][break] he sees the golden flames that rise in the depths of her eyes, sees the same hatred and flickering fire that he'd seen in the molten lava of
PENELOPE LIVY's gaze, and just like before —
[break][break] he dives right in.
[break][break] plunges headlong into the jaws of peril.
[break][break]
CAN YOU DO IT?[break][break] the rocket admin fearlessly catapulted himself across the scorching blue sky, heart bleeding with nothing but passionate
HATRED — for her, for the circumstances that had brought them to this moment, for the chains of promise that forced him to surrender to his darkest urges. the cold storm raged furiously around him as he clawed like a feral beast against the councilwoman's sygna suit, blistered fingers sinking into the crevice of her shoulder blades.
[break][break]
ARE YOU STRONG ENOUGH?[break][break] teeth sunk into precious skin, looking for the artery that pulsed beneath her human skin. for the lifeblood that he knew that had existed there, when he had felt it thrum beneath his fingertips as they sat together in their graveyard, staving off the end of the world.
[break][break]
YOU'RE GOING TO DIE HERE, AND NO ONE'S GOING TO CARE[break][break] but the strength of such draconic energy knows no bounds. the power of one destined legacy to another. there is more at stake than just a willingness to return to their roots —
freya morningstar's strength and passion burns just as bright, just as violently, as the icy hatred that laces through his own veins.
[break][break] and just like he told her back then, in that graveyard of souls,
power is pain.[break][break] a scream is ripped from his throat as agony throws his head back with a sickening crack, making him lose grip on her and her dragon's scales as verdant green floods through his body. it screams and claws and screeches against the monster that lives within him, burning, burning,
burning —
[break][break]
YOUR LIFE IS FORFEIT[break][break]
jayden cross plummets towards the water's edge in the same heartbeat that
BARNABY FINCH and his patron devour the charred metal beast in violent flame.
[break][break]
ker-plunk-plunk-plunk!
[break] ice wreathes around the water serpent as she thrashes against the touch of human skin against her.
HATRED bleeds into the crevices where her scales thin with hurt from
ana fell's touch, listening to the bits of metal splash beneath the roar of the waves.
[break][break] rai wants it over. rai wants it gone.
[break][break] the world is too cold, and it is why his two masters cannot be together. it is why they sleep in separate beds on most days, or not at all. it is why everything is wrong and ruinous and bleeds cold when things should be warm and gold and beautiful.
[break][break] if he can kill this stupid human then maybe he can kill the hate-thing that grows like a blackened flower in his master's heart, perhaps he can
end —
[break][break] the world cannot end unless it goes down in flames.
[break][break] a screech of rage is ripped from the water serpant's throat as it's gaze pins upon that human in the water crawling atop that dead, floating carcass, as burnt metal and steam curdles off the edge of the waves.
[break][break] entwining with the frosted storm that rages above, a furious light glows around the milotic as it summons a
HAIL. slipping through the raging sea, the milotic careens it's body towards the human and attempts to wrap his body around her, to squeeze the life out of her. if he can end
her, perhaps he can end all of
this.[break][break] finally, his crown illuminates in furiously frosted light and the blinding glow of a a
TERA BLAST is aimed down at her, attempting to blast a crater through her leftover human flesh.

GO, SISTER. YOU DON'T BELONG HERE.[break][break] dragons are beasts. they are feral creatures, not meant for love, only for hate, only for war. but their own chains sank into them from the moment that they were born, from the moment they were hatchlings raised by a single mother, racing through life's barren fields.
[break][break] time had torn them apart. history had sought to destroy what bonds that they had built.
[break][break] but fate had brought them together, in either this world or the next.
[break][break] stubbornness raises high on her face as she defies him in the sky, and he snarls back in reply, beating back powerful wings as she lunges for his throat.
GO, SISTER. GO, HOME.[break][break] but it's not enough. it's never enough.
[break][break] blood and fire burn as her claws rake his sides, blood spilling down his scales. he lets out another roar of complaint, of warning, before a sudden blast from above has the dragon looking towards it, watching his master fall down from the heavens like a shooting star.
[break][break] ice crackles in the water as the waves abruptly freeze under divine frost, and a mighty creatures races across the frozen glaciers to seize the falling human by the scruff of his shirt. blue energy arcs around jayden's limp form, bringing energy to him as the hateful storm rages on with even more ferocity. winds howl with the anguished cries of the fallen, their tormented spirits whipping through the air in an unyielding barrage.
[break][break] under his patron's touch, the admin's body begins to stir. he steadies himself atop the ruinous creature, the b lood seeping through his tattered armor transforming into protective ice. fatal wounds heal beneath the relentless surge of blue energy that envelops him, pulsing with palpable animosity and tension, as swift and steady as a heartbeat.
[break][break] all the while, the
BERZERK STORM intensifies around the battlefield with unrelenting ferocity, hatred and fury rising to their peak as the storm rages on, more powerful than before.
[break][break] it lashes out with unrelenting ferocity, unyielding and indiscriminate, as it expands in a vicious arc — spanning both seas and open sky, at rocket and league alike, and threatening anyone who dares to stand in it's devastating path.
[break][break]
[attr="class","cp cp-snowflake"]
[break]
unbearable loathing and hatred screams through the air, cutting even towards the raging roaring moon in the sky. whatever sentiment that he felt for his sister's ailment is replaced with a vicious wrath as her fangs scorch into his neck, aiming to rip his throat out. energy swells around the dragon, verdant green wreathing as vicious and brutally as a torrent of flame.
[break][break] but no fire splits from his jaws.
[break][break] no, it's the
sky that rips open in all it's rightious fury as a sudden
DRACO METEOR is called from the heavens, plunging all who stand in it's path back into the depths of hell.
[break][break]
[attr="class","cp cp-snowflake"]

and just like this, the world is brought to ruin.

[attr="class","icon-rocket"] after he bites her, jayden is blown out of the sky with
freya morningstar's
DRAGON ASCENT sygna suit ability.
[break][break] enraged by the hateful storm, rai summons a
HAIL and
TERA BLAST (ice) directly at
ana fell and aeris.
[break][break] vodnik fights with his sister in the sky and tries to get her to leave, knowing that something terrible is about to occur. even as she fights him and tries to rip out his throat.
[break][break] chien pao appears!!! and saves/heals jayden with it's hatred and all the resonating hatred in the area, empowering him, and the
HATRED STORM doubles in ferocity, lashing out at everyone in the area, including jayden's own pokemon. his roaring moon is impacted, and goes berserk, raging into a
DRACO METEOR that is aimed at everyone.
