What You Take With You part II: Reflections In The Fog
Who: All those on the What You Take With You mission and everyone else (who OOCly wishes to join in)
What: An important artifact is brought back only to immedaitely activate. Further details are here.
When: November 10th
Where: Daybreak Campus and around Soliel
Warning: Warn in headers as appropriate
On November 10th the recovery team sent into the Outlands makes their return with the obsidian mirror. Thus far it hasn't seemed any different than any other obsidian mirror, nothing spectacular about it beyond its age and where it came from. But Daybreak was only called to retrieve it, not anything more. The spell is worked to open the path between the Outlands and Daybreak, allowing them back. But as this happens, the mists rise up as they often do when the two worlds intersect. The team might even see it ghosting over the mirror before catching their own reflections in it. A light flashes over its surface and in that instant, the mirror activates.
Just one look in any reflective surface throughout Soliel-- a mirror, a window, a bit still water-- and people will be struck with sudden dizziness, a feeling of being knocked back, and then darkness. You'll find, on waking, a dark and desolate landscape full of smoke and fog. It'll be hard to tell where one is going. You won't be alone. People all over the academy have been brought into this vision. You may run into them, but even more likely, you'll run into the spots of color that cut through the fog.
And dwelling with this color? Why it's you. But better. Or maybe, much, much worse. It seems the mirror has something to show you. But is that something a promise? Or a threat...? Learn its lesson and you may escape both the shadowy realm and a terrible fate in your future. What image will you leave on the world?

No, what made him stop was the rays of radiant light that began to pierce through it nearby. A warm, powerful, divine light that would normally be anathema to most daemons. Yet, as Amaterasu, or perhaps, the even more divine Amaterasu walked through the fog and into his presence, the daemon stopped in his tracks, agog at her very presence.
Of course, he was acquainted with Amaterasu to begin with, so this was not out of left field, but even he felt... almost humbled, by that divine presence. Seeing the sun goddess be even more was... well, quite a lot.
After but a moment, the daemon regained his lost composure and nodded back to her.]
Amaterasu... I wouldn't mind company, thank you. Though "boring" is not what I would call these mists, with what I have seen so far.

Ah, very well. If that is what you prefer, Shiranui. [He actually relaxes a bit further, before continuing his walking pace alongside her.] ...A memory of bygone days. That... [He pauses and shakes his head.] I should not presume to fully understand, though... I at least have some experience with that.
...Hopefully my own memory of bygone days does not walk in this mist as well.

[There's a sort of rueful bitterness to that. Knowing and acknowledging that part of him existed, even though he had long since accepted it as real. But who better to know exactly how dangerous it could be?]
A Tyrant off the leash and red-eyed with rage and grief would prove nigh-unstoppable.
no subject
Think about who you're saying that to. I defeated beings most would consider unstoppable when I was far weaker than I currently am. The biggest problem would be that we don't know how it would affect you.
no subject
I know what I said. And I was ready to bring the apocalypse upon this whole world in that moment of weakness. ...Had I continued down that path, I would have truly raised hell on Earth.
You might be one of the only beings that could have stood in my way. [He chuckled, a little grimly.] ...You, or perhaps a Belmont. But as enraged as I was, I wasn't suicidal either.
[His expression slowly turned more... reflective.]
...I don't often speak of that time. It isn't something I am particularly proud of.
