[nospaces][googlefont=Open+Sans:400,700,700i|Oswald:300,600] [attr=class,punkianger-dd] [attr=class,absolute-holder] [attr=class,image-back accentbg] [attr=class,image] [attr=class,line1] [attr=class,line2] [attr=class,wordcount] research [attr=class,lyric1] A phoenix's ash in dark divine [attr=class,lyric2] Descending misery [attr=class,bulk]Adrian could feel the moment coming to a head, the vindication welling up inside as their efforts began to overwhelm Yveltal, whom finally began to show signs of cracking under the pressure. It hadn't been easy, and he'd given up much...[break][break] But soon their moment would be at hand. Even as the beast collapsed to the ground, he thought only of the victory; of how sweet the irony for them to destroy the destroyer. But much to his chagrin, his dreams of victory were soon put to rest, and the naivety of their short-sighted conflict would be made apparent as the god of destruction choked on its own bile. Expelled from its gullet with a vile retching, a lump of queer flesh was expunged from its body, writhing in futility before the Yveltal quelled the life in a similar manner to Grimmsnarl.[break][break] Before the creature was obliterated, they caught a glimpse of its form.[break][break] It's like the thing from Slateport. That's been inside Yveltal this whole time...?![break][break] Adrian was no stranger to these beasts and the influence they held; the untold powers they brandished. The clown effigy had devastated Slateport, and the threat of the Megalopolans was on the rise. And now he'd borne witness to one afflicting the likes of Yveltal, destruction incarnate. And though the demon had at last freed itself, it had now incurred the wrath of something far greater; trading one set of chains for another, heavier and tighter than the last. Yveltal brings its final vestige of strength to bear in desperation, but the Nihilego makes short work of it, entangling the specter of death in its body even as its tentacle petrifies.[break][break] [break] Altogether they feel the resplendence of their connection to Yveltal quicken, the tether between souls turning ghastly as they feel a stream of despair and hollow rage, overwhelmed only by pangs of agony felt as the idol of darkness became the plaything of this leviathan entity come from beyond the rift between worlds.[break][break] This third party threatens death beyond counting, and though Adrian is loathe to overlook Yveltal's slight, they would be without recourse should this beast fall into an outworlder's pocket. His vendetta against Yveltal is only momentarily stymied by the presence of a far more dire omen. But something is still bothering him.[break][break] As Thomas urges them to leave if they so choose, he mulls over the last few weeks spent in Yveltal's name, thinking back to the sins committed for its self-aggrandizing sacrament... Were those lives not nearly enough?[break][break] And if so, how could Thomas' sacrifice alone make the cut?[break][break] Through the tears and the pain, Adrian's teeth grit against themselves before he can bark out the words. "Oh no, you don't get to give up so easily. Too many have already died for nothing less than your revival... You WILL honor that accord..."[break][break] The lives of those lost had been taken perhaps by more than one... but all too much his hands felt the ruddy stains of blood, innocent and virile, all for what...? For their own 'god' to break faith...? Even now he seethed with a malcontent for Yveltal, but contrary to his ego, he deigned to lend it his aid...[break][break] But Adrian would not presume to offer it anything beyond himself.[break][break] "Furor, if you stand by me..." He winces through the sheer torment of Yveltal's blighted soul. "Tch... Let out your all... On the big, ugly pale one... Don't let it take hold of Yveltal-!!!" His chest heaves and his breathing is labored as he strives to ignore the aching, burning sensations riveting through flesh and bone. Bowing over at the waist, his body begins to numb with adrenaline, and yet the soul and mind are flayed ruthlessly still, dampening naught but the frigid feeling of cold and the misting rains against his clammy, pallid skin. Falling to his hands and knees, he asks himself: What more could be done to avert this outcome?[break][break] As he went prone to the ground in a form of supplication, he too made a heartfelt plea, though he was not so humble: "If you are truly the aspect of destruction... Then destroy this false god before you, and all who would follow after its footsteps. If for nothing else, b-because..." Adrian's voice began to falter and he croaked over the syllables as his forehead dipped against the damp earth, his strength failing him as mortal limitations were reached, pushed beyond the threshold of pain. Or perhaps the weakness in his limbs was something more.[break][break] ...We are born of a shared earth; birds of the same feather... And they would continue to share it in ruin and prosperity. But what strikes as odd is the reason Adrian offers; is it truly meant to inspire the beast, or is it perhaps a justification of his own martyrdom? Or even more possible yet, an admission of guilt.[break][break] As his eyes glazed over with the film of unconsciousness, he dared cast a weary glance towards the clashing giants before them, watching as Furor lunged forward with a hitherto unseen voracity, its BITE attack becoming something more as Yveltal's waning DARK AURA granted him perhaps its final boon, condemning Nihilego to the unmitigated terror of its BALEFUL BRUX...[break][break] But was that enough to stay the beast's hand? [break] Wracked with inhuman pain, Adrian threatened to slip out of the waking world...
