The Phoenix Lands: Temple of The Risen Phoenix and Marblecliff.
By: Dems Darkfire Date: December 11, 2011, 8:51 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Deep within the mountains of Norurus, A town is nestled in the
high valley of where three mountains meet. Triple peak as some
have come to know it. There in the valley rests the main city of
the Phoenix Lands, a realm ruled and watched over by The
Darkfire clan and those loyal to them. The mountain range
spirals around the Triple Peaks, forming the main hunk of land.
Those brave enough can trek through the mountain passes, but for
everyone else there is only one road into Marblecliff. It winds
through the spiral and then up through the mountain to the city
itself. Through the giant gates of the town, one will find
themselves directly in the housing district, bustling with
people moving about there homes. Soccer games and other sports
litter the open fields of green grass and beyond, one can behold
the crown jewel of the city.
The rebuild Phoenix temple, where the head of the phoenix clan,
Dems Darkfire, received his powers. You would not know that the
city had once been destroyed if not by the obelisk before the
gates of the temple. "Here we remember all the Monks of old,
those who died to defend this place before us, allow their souls
eternal rest." The Temple was an open area, two domes attached
to one another and columns holding them up. Inside of the main
dome rested the Altair of the phoenix, the only part of the
temple that still had the original broken stones surrounding it,
a circle of arches surrounded the alter, broken down, and the
glowing altar rested in the center.
Outside of the Temple, surrounding it on it's other three sides,
was the market place. A massive bazaar with every vender
imaginable peddling wares to anyone who wished to buy. Buildings
housed the more permanent craftsman and sellers, A row of houses
next to each shop. Armor, weapons, even books of every sort
could be found in these building. Then, at the very back of the
town, a trail led further up the mountain, barred off by giant
iron gates that remained open to his people. Up the hill, on a
cliff that overlooked the entire town, was the house of the
Darkfire Clan. Dems built this home for all natural born into
his family. Across the courtyard rested a smaller house, equally
brilliant. This housed the initiates and the ones ritualized
into the clan by the old ways. The two houses where joined by a
hallway, and in the center of that hallway sat the meeting hall.
This is where Dems called his family in case of emergencies.

~The air grew thing as the sky took on a orange hue, Upon the
training grounds of the Darkfire clan's home, A vortex of red
inferno ignited, as the flames danced violently, black strands
of fire could be seen eteching through the orangish red cyclone.
The outlines of a man could be seen as the vortex began to
disperse revealing the man known as Domino Darkfire, He had come
to his new homeland to train a recruit that Dems had asked him
to do since Adema, the daughter of Dems had not done so as of
yet. Domino stood about six feet tall and had fiery orange hair
that flailed gently in the oncoming breeze. A blackened blade
rested in his right hand gently, as his left was rubbing the
back of his neck. "Where is that damn recruit, We need to get
this over with." His voice was filled with the terror of a
phoenix getting ready to devour it's prey.~

She shivered when she could feel the change in the air, humid,
and disgusting to her she didn't like it one bit. She knew she
shouldn't have been, but she was taking her time walking to
where she was supposed to be, a bit scared of what was going to
happen...she had to think this over. "I have a chance of losing
my life to join this family...but alas, I have nowhere else to
go, and there were here to take me in when I needed it. Too bad
my trainer is intimidating as hell, or I would be more at ease."
Her heart has been racing since she took her first step to them.
She had nothing really with her, so there's another thing to
test their patience is that they would have to find something
for her to work with. She chuckled to herself and she rubbed the
back of her head with her left hand and her other hand at her
hip holding onto it while it swayed back and forth with her
steps. When she made it to where she was supposed to be, she
could feel the dark aura surrounding him, and she gulped from a
slight feeling of fear and barely any bravery. His voice was low
and she could feel the bass vibrate through her chest almost
taking her breath away. She stepped in very shy like and looked
down at the ground, her disrespect was something she was have to
work hard for to make up. "I'm...so sorry for my tardiness,
Master. I understand your anger and punish me as you must during
this training to show what respect is needed to become a part of
this family." She spoke with much elegance to him to not edge
him more while she stepped closer to him, eye contact being
avoided for the time being.

Seporo just appeared from the temple's chambers, asked by his
father to watch over the testing session that was to take place
and to judge Domino's ability to test an initiate. He was also
asked to watch for any auspicious activity to happen with
Domino. He didn't know what his father meant, but he would
watch, keeping an eye on both parties for Dems. His presence
would be unknown until the end, when Domino gave the final
verdict upon the initiate.

Having had an interest; many ages ago, for the land of the great
phoenix. His brethren warlord in times past. Dems. Adonis had
breached the land without sound or sign, and sat idly upon the
broken horizon. He watched with patient and peerless blue eyes,
while the world continued on its path, and the land of the
arisen flame paid homage to its great legacy. He admired it for
its beauty, its honest values, and the fire. Such a cleansing
and dangerous power; such an irreversible and yet necessary
force of nature. He adored it, and at one time he felt envious
of his brothers power over such animalistic things... Now, he
just watched and waited. Knowing that his presence would be felt
eventually, and that his brother would grace him with an
appearance... All it was now.. was a waiting game.. and Adonis
had an eternity to do so....

Months, years, or ages? That was his question. As Seporo sat
there watching the testing of the new initiates he felt a power
level that made him question if his father had unlocked his
power and went on the attack some where out there. Then the
spike took that one turn, switched to something different, an
energy Seporo had long forgotten. He was here. Why was he here?
He had come to the reborn lands for what purpose? He didn't
know, he didn't know at all. But Seporo couldn't leave the
training grounds until the initiates where tested. If he didn't
do that, then his father would be truly upset with him. Just at
that moment, he felt another spike in the air, a charge that
made him jump once. His father had been paying attention and he
was here now. Seporo turned his attention back to the training
and the testing, watching intently.
Dems was here, suddenly appearing through the realm like it was
nothing. He knew this man wanted to see his home, come to his
lands and witness the beginning of the fellow warlord, the
Phoenix God. So here he was, floating just on the horizon. Dems
appeared there, before Adonis, a smile placed upon his face as
he watched the man carefully. "Well my friend... It has been a
long time." He noticed the mans wandering gaze, Dems own body
floating to the side as to look out on the same sight the man
was beholding through his own eyes. "What do you think? Such a
long time to rebuild. I'm glad it is done now."

~He began to pace, he was growing more and more impatient as he
finally sensed the recruit enter the realm. He looked around
but saw nothing but the girl. He wondered if Seporo was even
here to begin with. He sighed slightly as he froze suddenly.
"What is this power?" He felt a surge with immense power as he
then felt the pressure of Dems' own power enter. He shook his
head to clear his thoughts as he looked to the girl. "Well it's
about damn time." His tone harsh and filled with darkness as he
walked towards the girl. "Master?" He chuckled slightly as he
came about three feet from her. "You have no weapon, I barely
sense any energy source within you, and your body looks fragile.
This is going to be fun." Domino stepped back once more as he
stood in his previous placement. Cocking his head towards the
woman as his body became surrounded in a inferno of orange
flames, the hint of blackened strands could be seen every once
in awhile. "Let the training begin."~
~He raised his hand as the flames followed, opening his palm
soon after thirteen rays of blazing fire shot towards the woman
with incredible speed. Domino then vanished as the young
Phoenix soon reappeared above the girl, he took his blade and
swung it from left to right, three more waves of fire with a
high level of destructive power. This time as the waves exerted
from the blade, they held a darker tint as one of the three
attacks were completely black. Domino soon fell to a knee
afterwards as he awaited to see how the young girl would react.~

"Brother you have done well" Came a short and powerful response
from Adonis: His eyes shifting hues to better reflect his calm
and docile demeanor. "Though it took longer than I expected to
completely rebuild, and there are yet a few more obstacles I
suspect you have yet to cross with the land and the temple" His
eyes were like diamonds; faceted and reflective, whilst he
looked out across the land before him. For Adonis had witnessed
many marvels; the birth of stars in distant realities, and yet,
this small piece of land, this home for one of his lost kin, was
something he seemed to enjoy more. As if it reminded him; or
comforted him, with the thoughts of past happiness, and former
lust for life. "Id say, you have a great start here Phoenix, but
can you truly rise from the ashes again and ignite the fuel that
this land has to offer?"
The last question was rhetorical; literally knowing the answer
before it had been asked, and Adonis didnt need to adjust
himself awaiting an answer. He simply stared forward;
progressing through varied levels of sight, while his brother
hovered nearby, and fluctuated with the forces of his gilded
history and might. Adonis truly did enjoy such time; nearest
those who knew him the best, but he was in such a state as to
never address it. Never show it. Never acknowledge it. For in
his new state, his new form so to speak, he was perpetually
locked in the visage of an angelic being. A seraph of ivory
skin-tone, and dangerous appearance. He could no more fully
smile, than he could shed a tear.

So he was here. This new forms his brother took had always
surprised him, caused him some worry at some points, but he knew
that the man was this way for a reason. Always a reason. He
existed to exist and no one could ever drive out the man's light
to live. If anything, he was more like a phoenix than anything
else. He was glad for this. Despite the times of evil, the times
they shared running the warriors of the realms ragged with
stress, maiming their cultures and forcing submittal upon them,
they could always come back to points like these. Points in time
where they where both docile,and relaxed. Where their words
carried more weight than anything else. Times of peace brought
the best in ones self out. "Just a few more... I have Seporo
working on them." He chuckled and shook his head. "The boy will
soon discover something large, something he may not want to
know, or something he will love to find out. But on either
occasion, everything that is left to do will fall to him." He
chuckled to himself, thinking of the future. The thoughts
brought a hint of a smile to his face.
"The reason it took so long... It was strange. I couldn't lift a
stone, nor could my family. I oversaw all the construction, but
it was the people who came back that rebuilt it all." He
shrugged a smile still pressed on his lips as he looked over his
little piece of land, his own little kingdom at the edge of the
world. Hidden by the mountains, and baked in the sun and of the
light. His eyes wandered over at his brother, the last question
he knew the man already knew. He took in a deep breath, folding
his arms and nodding. "Well.. It has been a long time, my old
friend. I do not mean to break our moment of peace at this time
but I must ask what brings you to this place? It has been some
ages since we have held a forum such as this."

"I seek.... " In a word he would declare his goal; his desire,
his urge, and his need. In one word he could give life to his
desire, and yet that one word seemed to disconnect itself from
the meaning he gave it. It seemed no more real, no more
possible, than lifting of a planet, or stopping what had already
happened. "Perfection... through balance brother... Perfection
through balance" Adonis' reaction to his own words was
incontrovertible; irreversible, and almost instantaneous, as he
shifted his great height to the side; adjusted his wings to
better contrast his ivory form on the horizon, and tilted a
smiling face to his brother. He was happy for his kin; for the
kingdoms rebirth, for a family lineage continuing and growing...
For he knew his own kingdom, his own family, his own son.. was
no more.. nothing but a memory
"I wish to rid the worlds of this darkness; of the abyssals, of
the warlords, of the great tyrants, and the impure.. I wish to
cleanse all of the taint of chaos, and once again tip the scales
in favor of purity and order."
