pyper, shen, mason

"it looks boring, bland any other synonym that can be used for boring" mason said and grumbled about of how ridiculous this was as it was probably going to have some tacky requests that would take forever with his mama and shen. mason felt like banging his head against something until he passed out jjst so he wouldnt have to deal with this stupid castke and whatever is holds. Pyper looked at him with slight disappointment but sighed and slightly shook her head "well I think its amazing! I mean look at all the details put into every single block! it must have taken years to make this." she gushed over the castle running her paws over the details that were ingraved into the bricks. shen frowned biting his lip. his expression was full of worry and he was a handful of steps away from the castle "w-well I uh really don't like it. Its just not,,, uh its well frightening. do I really have to go in there?"

The trio was not ready for the end of this journey. As they neared the castle they felt a bit scared, thought none of them would admit that to their friends. A huge and dark building is what the castle was, the kind of building that kids looked at and made ghost stories about. This time however, they knew that those shadow demons lie in wait for them to defeat, but could they? Would they be able to save the kingdom?

None of them had realized until now the heavy burden on their shoulders. The fate of their entire kingdom, their home, was on their shoulders and if the three of them failed then they were failing everyone who cared about them and more. Things had been easy up until this point and maybe they'd stay that way.

Addie distracted herself or rather tried to by messing with her now enchanted daggers. It wasn't working that well, but it was better than nothing. Naomi was gripping her bow in frustration as she looked deep in though. Castiel had nothing to distract himself from the coming danger. He was a wreck despite looking the calmest out of them all. His fears slowly over clouded his mind.

What if one of them got hurt?

What if one of them died?

What if they got separated?

What if they failed?

It got to be too much for him and he stopped dead in his tracks and covered his face. The girls noticed and instantly went to him, fretting over him like two mother hens. Ironic considering the tiny hens they had. He whimpered and started to cry softly. He moved his hands and looked at Addie and Naomi. He wanted to confess something to them both so badly and he needed to do it before they went in there.

He could talk. He wasn't unable to speak, it just hurt him to do so. His throat would burn and he'd want to cry in pain when he talked. But this moment, this was important. The pain he'd suffer was nothing to compare to the pain he'd know if he lost one of them. He had to speak. They wouldn't understand him in an instant with his hand motions and such. "I...I.." His voice cracked loudly as they stared at him in confusion.

"I l-love you both.." He finished, his voice weak from the effort. They looked shocked, both that he talked and at his confession. It wasn't clear if he meant it as romantically or if he just viewed them as family. He honestly couldn't say he knew which one. It didn't matter. They meant the world to him, and he didn't want to lose either of them and not let them know what they meant to him. For a time they just stared. They exchanged a glance and Naomi smiled at him softly. "We love you too big guy." She said and Addie nodded. It wasn't clear for them either. It didn't matter.

"I thought you were mute...?" Addie finally said slowly. He nodded at her and knew he had to speak again. He'd sound stupid with how he was about to talk, but it was easier than talking to much and hurting himself more. "C-can... just d-don't like to... h-hurts..." He gasped in pain as he finished and his eyes gave the indication that he'd rather be shot with one of Naomi's arrows than speak again. They slowly nodded in understanding. Naomi hugged him quickly and though Addie wasn't very affectionate, she did too and they stayed like that for a while. Was it so wrong to enjoy just being close for a moment, when very soon they all posed the risk of losing each other?

They didn't think so as they held each other in a huge bear hug, their little chickens climbing on them with small clucks. They seemed to be joining in on the hug and that was okay. They adored the little things. They all stayed like that for a little while, basking in the fact that they had each other here and now. Maybe they'd lose each other soon and that was a scary though to have. They'd never regret this journey though, not with any fiber of their being. Eventually they got ready to depart, all of them bracing themselves for what lay ahead. They all prayed they would not fail.

They might be facing death, looking him in the eye and begging for an end but it was too late to stop now. The three, very different kalons stood together at the foot of the castle that towered high above their heads. Demons could be seen above, flying circles around the towers like vultures searching for a kill. However, the demons were much bigger than birds and attacked each other at random times.
Cried of rage of pain could be heard all over, growls and roars from the demons both above and inside those large wooden doors. Ico crossed his arms and lowered his head, feeling afraid more than anything. "Do we really have to go in? I don't think I can do it..." He preferred catch weasels and having a party in the lavalands with his friends.
Allariia rests a paw on his shoulder, taking a deep breath herself as the young mage hardly had any experience fighting demons. "We have to, can't turn with our tails between are legs when we're so close to victory. Countless are depending on us, keep your head high and at least pretend this'll easy." She encourages, something she didn't often do to anyone. After spending so much time around this baby, she'd grown to understand he needed more than an iron fist to guide him along.
Ixion nods, pulling out his lance and facing the gate. "We all know that, hero work isn't for the faint of heart. Besides, we fought off an enchanted statue, rode a phoenix and solved fairy riddle. What's a few demons on top of that?" Ico looked up at his companions, still terrified but he couldn't run away now.
Not only would they not let him run, but if they didn't do it then who would? Sucking up his fear, the prince nods and grips is silver short sword. "I know, just show time gitters I guess? Don't let anything kill me..." He says finally, ready to break in and save the town. Being brave for once in his life wouldn't be easy, but he had support and dreams to keep him going.

As they walked slowly up the large path to get to the castle itself they all noticed a few things, it was bigger than a mountain and taller than the clouds reached. It has a large point gate enclosing it making sure not one would be able to climb over the dark purple gates. It had an aura that you couldn't ignore, like you had to look at the castle and if you didn't it was like something bad was going to happen. There were bushes trimmed perfectly almost to give off the look to make it look homey almost? There was a pool in the large yard encased in the fencing with a swan or two in it, not white ones but pure black, they were making the loudest ear deafening screeches pretty sure the town itself could probably hear it. Overall the castle was somewhere not to be.

"Looks like we're not in Kansas anymore.", joked Rossa atop the nearby hill. It was no mountain but it gave a clear view of the castle that lay just a short walk away. Roxanne and Apollyon followed close behind. In response to her remark though, Roxanne gave her a swift slap to the shoulder. It was no time for joking around, they were going to be facing their greatest threat yet, a demon king. He held the royals of the town hostage and caused the panic seen throughout the town.
The castle was large. It was surrounded from ground to roof with walls protecting it. The only entrance was a bridge, broken wood stood where it once did through. Infected guards laid in wait anywhere they could find cover, waiting for a hero like them to attack. Shielded by the night, they were practically invisible. Apollyon the most so.
His dark, dark brown wings covered him, almost like a cape.

Finaly reaching the birthplace of the curse the trio look at each other with grave looks. Their horses where uneasy in its wake as they attempted to near the Palace. The horses where to stubborn to move, in which case the party had to dismount and continue on foot. What was once glorious gardens where now nothing more then ash and withered vines. Great willow trees where bare and rotting, while roses bushes where nothing more then thorny tumble weeds. The stone beneath their feet where cracking and becoming nothing more then rubble with ever step taken.

These great stone walls where being eroded by years on neglect and the abuse of the elements that seem to crash upon them. One had an eyry felling walking up to its old oak doors that seem to tower over you, intimidating one to the point of turning back. Even the fact that one door was slightly ajar left chills down your spin as one crept upon it. Slowing pulling it open, it let out a ghostly cry, in complain for the mighty hinges that had rusted over time. You couldn't help but welcome back the silence when the shrieking hinges feel quite once more.

Open entering the great hall, one was over whelmed by the dust that was thick and hide its former beauty. The Grand Staircase was wide and with a faded red rug falling down it made it appear like tongue, the mighty pillars aiding as teeth and a mighty chandler that had feel in the middle of the room. The once sparkling crystals now nothing more then shattered pieces the fell upon the creaking wooden floors.

The over all feeling of this place was something the no Kalon should have to endure. One wouldn't even dare wish for this to happen to one of their most powerful foes even. The Palace almost had a weight to it that feel upon your shoulders and made it harder to breath. The air so Humid that one felt damp and sticky. It was as though to Palace was trying to make you as uncomfortable as you can get, and encourage you to leave as quickly as possible.

The air was deathly still, the silent was even to much to bare. It wasn't like the silent in your home when you are about to fall asleep, or a silent that fell upon a busy market place upon closing. This silent was wrong, unnerving and it felt as though it was a presents itself. As though it had taken on a being of it own. It was enough to make one mad, and talk to themselves just to hear something other then the silents.

This was a place no one would come to, no one would step foot in, and yet here we are. In the center of darkness and evil. This was not just a place people wouldn't go to, but a place people would come if they had a death with. That was it, This was a place of the Dead.

the dark castle.. was much less a castle than it was a large house. through the windows they could see UV light and flashing lights. alex thought that it might be a laboratory and that it was the place where they created and distributed the plague. as they appoached the building, they could see into the numerous open windows. they stepped closer to see what they could inside. when the light flashed, they saw someone dissecting a kalon.
"ew.." vincent started to make some sounds out of disgust. it was a bit loud!
"SHHHhh.. vincent shut up, you don't want them to hear us." dexter whispered as he put his paw over vincent's mouth. after dexter removed his paw, vincent started to hyperventilate and had to sit down up against the wall. the plan was to sneak in and stop them and alex had his atomic gun if there was trouble. alex signaled to dexter and vincent that he was going into the backdoor. it was all planned out that he would pick locked doors. alex was about to go on ahead but then dexter stopped him and whispered,
"shouldn't we stick together?" he held alex by the shirt. alex stopped to think about it. he figured he was heroic enough to go alone but there would be some instances where two.. or three minds, if you count vincent the scaredy-cat, would have to work together against the enemies? there was probably a lot of kalons in the castle and it would be harder if it was one against.. who knows how many? alex didnt have an ounce of fear in his heart, as usual.
"vincent.. you gotta man up for once. just pretend you're me or something. heh.. i mean be strong for us. don't let them get to you. they're just scientists, like me." alex whispered into vincent's ear. he patted vincent's shoulder as he realized he may be dealing with fellow biochemists. the thought of that excited him. there would be a lot of biochemical stuff in there. it would be dangerous but his curiosity was piqued. the spice of life..

Paige was finally at the end of her long journey. It was a fun ride, but she was glad it was nearing an end and she could finally go see her mate again. With her points in her bag, and a sword to her right, she gazed upon the large castle in awe. she was shocked at its size- even larger than the stories!

she was nervous, no, terrified! she didn't know what waited beyond the walls, and, frankly, didn't really want to find out. but she needed to. she was too far into her quest, and she couldn't just back down now.

she continued walking, and the castles size kept increasing. she felt more than nervous, as if she would break into a cold sweat.

she heard whispers and murmurs coming from inside the castle, and it seemed to be on repeat in her head.

she slowly walked forward, gulping down her fear.

delta was filled from head to toe with determination. she did not go through that whole quest for nothing, and was ready to face whatever was behind those walls. she stared straight at the castle with no fear, and held her head high.

she gently walked forward, careful not to make sound. she didn't want to alert whatever may be hiding. she heard faint voices from inside, and she wondered what kalons or things were inside. a family? no. a family would not ruin a civilization.

she wanted to knock, but she wanted a bigger and bolder entrance. with swords and weapons at her dispose, she felt confident, like she could rule the world.

she hoped the protection spell hadn't worn off, and wondered if she had brought any with her. she searched through her bag. she couldn't find it, but she found some other usual potions.

she was ready. whatever it was, she could handle it.
