Part 5 Rebellion

Shape Shifting Master of Hiatus
- Location
- The Land of Retconnia
Olus Diuseiusius is a male manticore from the planet Essear. Essear is united under one kingdom that apparently is perfectly similar to the Roman Empire on Earth. Olus was recruited into the Curators at the age of 4 in human years, which is 400 in manticore years. Olus was recruited because he was able to awaken an Old One and become good friends with it.
Olus has been with the Curators for a year now, and has continued to dabble in ancient forbidden arts in hopes of reaching spiritual enlightenment.
You proceed to walk out of the room and head toward the cafeteria believing that to be the current location of Olus. You make sure to leave the room as quietly as possible to make sure you don't wake up Lyria. You're pretty sure, she wouldn't take kindly to recruiting an Avatar of a Old One.
Random Event Roll = 24
You begin walking to the cafeteria taking the shortest route possible. You continue walking, strangely the hallway is rather void of life. You're the only person currently walking around.
Garen Notice Roll: -1 vs Attacker's Stealth Roll: 0 + Stealth +2
Attacker Succeeds with style
You continue walking unphased by the strange silence that fills the hallway. The hallways are normally full or at least active, but today they aren't.
Your train of thought comes to a halt when the entire hallway is covered in darkness.
Attacker has created an advantage.
Garen Notice Roll: 2
Attacker Notice Roll: 3
Attacker goes First
Attacker Magic Roll: -2 + Magic 3 = +1 average
Garen Fighting Roll: 0 + Fighting 1 = +1 average
Tie
It takes a while for you to see anything, but when your eyes begin to adapt you notice a ripple in the shadows. As if someone just started a fire, but it produced no light at all. It simply made that area darker. It takes you a moment too late to realize that it was some kind of black fireball heading right toward you. It collided with you chest but it has no apparent affect on you. The person must have underestimated you or believed you to be a human.
Garen Ferromancy Roll: 0 + Ferromancy 3 = +3 good
Attacker Magic Roll: 0 + Magic 3 = +3 good
Tie
You need to end this quickly. After the black flame hits you, you counter attack the fool who thought they could take you by sending electricity throughout the walls hopefully hitting the stranger. When you can't smell the scent of burning ash or hear any screaming you infer that you missed the target or they succeeded at blocking your attack.

After a long and rather boring match of tug of war, you finally manage to get a decisive blow on the attacker and impale their ass on 3 scorching hot metal spikes you shot out of the walls.
The darkness vanishes and the hallway returns to normal...well minus the shishkebab you made.
You continue on to the cafeteria with hundreds of questions floating around in your motherboard or brain. Why did they attack me? Who were they? Questions like those keep resurfacing in your mind no matter how hard you try to focus on the task at hand. You'll have to ask Prisca or someone else later to hopefully shed some light on this mystery.
It takes you some time to get to the lunchroom, but when you do it takes only a matter of seconds before you spot your target. A tall male figure covered in brownish fur is standing all the way in the back. It has bat like wings with a scorpion tail, and two dragon like horns coming out of its head. It has the face of a man and stands on two hind legs like a normal human.
You can tell that it's Olus because it is wearing a roman like occult robe with two roman greatswords on its back. He seems to have a black book on his side and a staff made from bones that radiate a greenish glow. He seems to be talking to it as if it's alive.
You walk up to him and poke his side. "Excuse me, Are you Olus Diuseiusius?"
The Manticore looks away from his staff and down at you. He speaks with the voice of an experience warrior that has survived a great many battles.
"Indeed I am little one. Olus Diuseiusius of House Diuseiusius at your service. Now then Archon, I know why you've come and before you ask the answer is yes. I will join you and Lyria Lightsong. I will meet you at room 210 on the 4th floor of the Alpha Newton Sector. Farewell."
Before you can even say anything Olus walks up in the direction of your room.

One Day Later
BLACK PROTOCOL INITIATED
Prisca voice came on over the intercom, "ATTENTION ALL LOYAL CURATORS!! We have been betrayed! The Golden Crusaders, Gray Falcons, and the Crimson Covenant have betrayed the Curators and have started a rebellion! They currently have control over the Sunlight District and Sector Charlie Zeta!! ALL LOYAL CURATORS BATTLE STATIONS!!!
When the announcement ends, You stand up and grab your sword. Lyria and Olus are both already equipped. You all stare at each other, you all know that this could be your final day.
Lyria is the first to break the silence her armour on and her weapons drawn. "When, I walk into the valley of death, I shall fear no evil for I know that I am the deadliest fucker in there."
You and Olus both nod at her in agreement.
You're all determined to come out of this alive and destroy those foolish enough to betray you.
One question remains:
What do you do now?
[ ] Go Find Prisca
[ ] Find Other Loyal Curators
[ ] Go straight to the enemies and fight
[ ] Flee the Curators Base
[ ] Join the Rebels Side
[ ] Write In
