The Apprentice

[GuildM]

~Guts was looking for a place to stay. This storm came outta nowhere. He needed shelter for the night. He spots a nice little town. He heads down the road thinking he'll just get a room and be out when the storm breaks, but he notices something. He sees a large wolf creature sprinting down a hill. Guts makes haste to intercept. Gettin right in front of him Guts draws his sword and places it across the creatures line of movement.~

"Where do you think yer goin? We should talk."

[Dezdemona]

~A sudden bright light flashed within the basement when the eyes cleared one could see floating there a great being, a woman with great white wings floated there, the Valkyrie herself. Though none could see her but Dez for she had halted time within that space to avoid interference from outside sources.~

"It is time Dezdemona, daughter of the ancient warrior Thanatos, for you to awaken to your true self. It is not among mortals that you are to be classified, but another being all together. As Lord Odin, and your lineage proclaims you shall ascend to a different level, become something more."

~With those words she touched Dez with her great spear and the light flashed again. When it fade time resumed and the Valkyrie was gone. Dez now lay unconcious on the stone table looking the same as before but now a small rune appeared on her forehead, slowly fading away.~

[Raistlin]

~The crystals that were around Dez flashed very bright for half a second before bursting. The obsidian on her chest split down the middle. Looking at her forehead a rune appeared then faded away. Raist clenched his hands into fists. He gritted his teeth before flailing himself up from the table.~

"Damn it! I should have acted quicker. I've failed her. She'll never be the same again."

~He turned back to the table where she was still unconscious. He scooped up the obsidian and tucked it back in the box he kept it in. Leaning down next to her he gently stroked her cheek.~

[Krasor]

~Krasor stood still, his fave emotionless as he looked at Dez. The mark of the Valkyrie fading from her. He felt her presence at a great level for but a second and than it was completly gone, she had evaded him once more.~

*Wait....this may not be a complete failure...the prophecy....."

~He walked to the side of the table watching Dez with a renewed intrest as he recited the ancient text he had been made to read time and time again back during his training in Glastheim~

"As the Valkyrie comes to each plane of existence one is chosen for whom to represent the gods power there. The forms may differ from a seemingly holy presence, to that of a demon like presence, to a human form. The valkyrie will always return to those she blesses in due time. This normally occurs after the blessed one has been trained properly. If not properly trained in the ways, than the avatar will be destroyed from within for lack of knowledge over their powers."

[Raistlin]

"Quell your tongue, you vile, retched little nobody. You have no idea what it will mean to me to loose her."

~He jumped up from the table and launches himself towards Krasor. Coming within an inch of his face Raist was wide eyed.~

"You have interfered in the only way I could have saved her from this. Now you stand there preaching as if it makes a difference. The only thing left is to insure that she survives the transition. Maybe I'll still be able to save her and prevent the ascension that will take her from me. I'm not giving up on my family again!"

[Krasor]

"You can do nothing for her."

~Krasor stood still not flinching away staring him straight in the eye~

"Whatever it is you do, it will reslt in her death.............there is one and only one way to save her."

[Raistlin]

"Help me carry her to her room then we need to talk."

~Raist loosened up a bit. He went to Dez's side and look at her. His face was stained with worry.~

[Krasor]

~Krasor moved over to help carry her, his eyes focused on her only.~

[glow=red,2,300]"Sors immanis, et inanis, saevam iram, iram et dolorem. Qui mortem invitavis poena funesta natus. Noli nomen vocare
ille iterum veniet............."[/glow]

[Raistlin]

"Silence yourself fool! You will not utter words of that origin in my home. Especially around her. Whether you want to believe it, or not, I can save her from this. It'll just take me a moment. Now help me get her to her room, or I'll have to do it here and bring the whole house down on top of us!"

[Krasor]

"Do you even here my words? Did you take the time to discern the meaning of what I said? I have said it to you before you know not what to do and you will onyl cause her death!"

~His eyes flashed as his anger flowed out at Raistlin's stubberness~

[Raistlin]

"What? How dare you? Do you see me as a feeble, first year apprentice mage? I am more of the linguist then you could imagine. I've studied languages that are extinct now."

~He turned in disgust from Krasor and fumbled in his cabinets. When he turned back to Dez he held a disturbing amulet that looked as if it had been made of Death himself. He placed it upon her chest and ran the chain down her shoulders then up over her neck. Opening his other hand he held a figurine in the shape of a fair featured maiden.~

"Fate monstrous, anger, anguish," he snapped his head around looking Krasor dead in the eyes. "I'm quite well aware of all you speak of. Just to let you know, if anyone is going to summon death here it will be me. I have fought him before and won. Now he will do my bidding. He will not need to ever come to this house again."

~He released here hands and feet from the shackles. He crossed her feet then interlocked her fingers over her abdomen. He climbed on to the table and was kind of straddling her. Placing the figurine on the amulet that was on her chest he covered it with both hands and began to have a silent conversation.~

[Minion]

He stops and looks at the man with the sword.

"Talk? I don't waste my time talking to pray."

He lunges at Guts swiftly grabbing a hold of the massive sword. He pushes Guts back with his shoulder knocking him away and making him let go of the sword. Minion gets a firm grip on the sword.

"I'm not sure how a puny runt like you could wield such a mighty blade, but I'll show you how this is done."

Hw lifts the sword straight up over his head ready to squash whatever, or whomever, it comes down on.

[Dezdemona]

~Her eyes shot wide open and her mouth opened in a silent scream. The color of her eyes had changed to a dark red color and she was convulsing violently.~

"........help......."

~She could barely utter the word as she continued to spasm as she slid out from under Raistlin and onto the floor curling up. The color of her skin and hair appeared to be changing rapidly.~

[Krasor]

~Krasor hurried over to her whispering under his breath as he did. Upon reaching her he held to fingers to her head~

[glow=red,2,300]"Ave formosissima
Gemma pretiosa,
Ave decus virginum,
Virgo gloriosa,
Ave mundi luminar,
Ave mundi rosa,
Blanziflor et Helena,
Venus generosa!"[/glow]

~Once he finished he took his fingers from her head. She had stopped shaking and was now lying still on the floor breathing heavily with her eyes open. Her skin had returned to it's normal color but her hair had changed to a dark shade of purple~

[Krasor]

precious jewel,
Hail, pride among virgins,
glorious virgin,
Hail, light of the world,
Hail, rose of the world,
Blanchefleur and Helen,
Noble Venus!)
