Maybe a little lore on the umbra, something like have the appeared before in the world's long history, or maybe lore on the flora and fauna of the world.
Legend of The Umbra Malem, The Shadows of Evil.
- Location
- USA
The Legend of The Umbra Malem is very ancient and was considered but an old myth used to explain the origin of Evil.
Once upon a time, long ago when the Gods, Kami, and Titans all still walked up the still young world of Cael, there were two brothers who guarded a tree that grew golden fruit that granted whoever ate them great power and wisdom, along with a longer life span. The eldest brother would deny all who asked him for a fruit, while those who went to the younger brother were given a single fruit each.
As time past, people grew to love the younger brother and gave him many praises, calling him the "Good Brother", "The Kind Brother", "The Generous Brother", and so on. But the elder brother was treated with scorn for his denial of everyone who came to him for a fruit, even the sick and dying. Thus was it so he was called "The Greedy Brother", "The Cruel Brother", and "The Heartless Brother" to name a few.
Overtime, the praises towards the younger brother and the curses towards the elder brother caused jealousy to take root and begin to fester. As more and more his younger brother was praised and as more and more he was cursed, his jealousy turned into hatred for his own brother and towards those who cursed him. This hatred grew and grew until finally the elder brother snapped and, in a fit of hatred fueled madness, struck down his younger brother and consumed all the golden fruits of the tree. Thus the first act of murder was committed, and the first Murderer and Kinslayer brought Evil into the World.
For his foul crime, the elder brother's body was destroyed by the Deities of Cael, and his blackened Soul was sealed into the now dead tree that he once guarded. But because the elder brother had devoured so many of the Golden Fruits, he had enough power to still influence the World he had stained with Evil by created minions to do his will. From the shadows of his prison and his own malice was born the first Demons, the Umbra Malem.
It is suggested that the Dark Elven Gods are also born from this Source of Evil, but the Dark Elves will deny this as nothing more than lies and slander.
Leo: "What's not said is that the whole thing was a test for the two brothers. You see, the Gods had commanded that the brothers were to not give the fruits of the tree to others. This was to see if mankind would defy the Will of The Gods to help others, or if they'd just be automatons that followed every single Order without question. The Gods actually hoped that it would be the former, because they believed that Free Will was extremely important for mortals. It's why Fate isn't all powerful like most people think it is. Of course they didn't expect that the older brother would then murder his own younger brother, and at the time for seemingly no reason. "

So does anyone else want to offer a battle or is mine good for now? You can suggest alterations to the plan if you want too.

So has anyone else voted or has the quest died as we get to the first freaking Boss Battle? Because if so....I'm going to be really depressed.

(Reaper) celly uses her clairvoyance to see past the reapers illusions or predict her next attack then alter her team. Team attack is to go on the offensive and switch to defensive when need be. Fight smart and use means to tell which ones are real and which are illusions. everyone uses their abilities when needed.
(Phobos) team fights defensively while switching to offensive when needed. This will change based on whatever information Will is able to gleam from Phobos. Those with ranged abilities attack first and dodge as much as possible. Everyone uses their abilities when needed.
Sorry @ShieldCrown I got no alerts from this thread.

Votes, votes, votes, let's see how the votes turned out now!
Battle for Ivory Hall, Fight Against Fear Itself!
- Location
- USA
Plan: Divide & Conquer.
-Tom, Alex & Fang, Alice, and Will vs Phobos, The Demon of Terror.
-Adam, Eve, Sam, and Celly vs The Reaper, Fear Incarnate.
You and your friends split up between the Demon and the Fallen-Light Bearer. You, Eve, Sam, and Celly went after the Reaper, while the others went off to dispatch "Phobos". You summon your crimson blade from the Light of your Soul, the sword responding to your call with an eagerness you did not expect but did not find unwelcome. Eve summoned a simple staff made of purest white Light and an aura that calmed your nerves started to radiate off her. Sam and Celly called forth their own weapons and got ready. The Reaper twirled her scythe around while giggling like a mad-woman, which she probably was. The Reaper seemed to vanish from your eyes.
"Adam, Left!" Celly called out and you swung your blade to the left, the sword creating sparks as it parried a bright magenta scythe that was previously invisible. The Reaper seemed surprised, and used the opening to cut a gash into her stomach. Only for her to vanish like a mirage, an illusion you realize quickly! No, that couldn't be right, Celly and Sam would have seen through such tricks! "Oh my pets are so loyal, I will have make sure to give them something "extra" special for their sacrifice." You hear the disembodied and distorted voice of the Reaper say aloud before bolts of lighting falls from the clear sky and strike several seemingly empty spots, only to reveal eight Spawns that were shapeshifted into the Reaper. The disguised Spawns turn to ash piles, and you hear the Reaper shriek in outrage. "YOU BASTARD, I WILL CAUSE YOU PAIN WITHOUT END FOR THAT!"
You watch as the Reaper, the real one this time, drops her invisibility and swings her scythe at Sam's neck with great force. Acting on instinct you call upon your Light, and the Reaper is warped..several feet up into the air. Sam calls on his own Light and summons another lighting bolt which slams into her, sending the Reaper crashing down to the ground. You rush in, but stop and cough up a great deal of blood as a javelin of twisted Light slams through your defenses and pieces your gut. You fall to your knees as the javelin fades into particles of Light. The Reaper gets up out of the crater and you see that there was a hole in her chest that was filled up with vile magical energy, a toxic purple mixed with shards of magenta Light, holding her together and keeping her "alive". You know what she is now, the reason why your own Light reacts to her, beyond her own corrupted Light.
"You're...an Undead, aren't you?" You say, stunned by the dark realization. The Reaper laughs at you in way that tells you that she was mocking you, and takes off her hood. You see the face of a woman with skin so unnaturally pale that was more fitting for a corpse than anything living, and that upper right side of her face missing, revealing the skull beneath. Both her eye and socket were darker than black, the only color being her magenta irises that glowed with her corrupted Light. She had a long scar going over her left eye as well. "Hahaha, Well I guess someone would figure it out eventually, too bad it was someone as stupid as y-urrghk!?" She found herself interrupted as a bolt of Yellow Light pierced her throat, Sam giving her an annoyed look.
"Talking is not a free action." He said as he fired several more bolts, while you let Eve' s aura fix up the hole in your gut. The Reaper dodged three bolts but got two more in her own chest and a third in her shoulder. Being an Undead however meant these didn't slow her down.
You cleaving her arm off, when you were sure you weren't going to die of blood loss, did the trick though. The Reaper looked at the stump where her arm used to be with confusion, as though she honestly think you could do it. Eve then ran up and grabbed a floating cracked magenta ball of Light that seemed to just appear without warning, and then everything went White as Light engulfed your vision.
When you stopped being blind, you say a few things. First, was the Reaper laying on the ground as nothing more than a very charred skeleton, Eve looked confused while telling an orange haired and eyed child that everything was okay, Sam and Celly looked confused as heck, and you realised that there was a knife wound in the skull of what used to be the Reaper.
"What the heck happened to you guys, and what was with the light show? I'm pretty sure people in Tengoku and Olympia saw it." Said Tom as he and his group walked up to us while the demon was disintegrating behind them, Alex looking incredibly tired as Fang carried her on his back.
"I seemed to have purified the Light of Fear backed into Bravery, and turned it into a child?" Eve said, the last part more a question than a statement. "And is calling me mother apparently?"
The child, a fragment of Bravery given mortal form, looked at you. "Daddy?" They said, and your brain decided then and there to shut down and let the blissful nothing of unconsciousness take you.
Victory! Boss defeated, Light of Fear SAVED and purified into Ember of Bravery.
You have Leveled Up! Pick a new expression of your Light's Power:
[]-Time's Warden: By The Light of Thy Soul, The Sands of Time are yours to command. (For 2 Lp you can slow Time, with 1 Lp for upkeep for each round of combat. 5 Lp stops Time, with a 5 Lp upkeep per round.)
[]-Eternal Will: If You Die, and Undying cannot be used, You Can Still Fight Even At Zero HP. If You Hit Negative Ten HP Though, You Will Die.
[]-Spatial Gate: For 10 LP, You Can Open A "Gate" That will Allow You and Your Party To Travel To Anywhere On Cael, So Long As You Know Where It Is Your Going And Can Visualize It.
After you wake up and get scolded by Eve and Alex for worrying the Ember of Bravery, who called themself Valor, you and your friends are brought before the Duke. The Duke and his Court were all gathered, and to your shock, so was a Knight of The Realm. Ser Anthony Drakeblood, clad a crimson version of the armor of the Royal Drake-Knights, he's presence confirmed the rumor of you and your friends being Knighted was true. The ceremonial sword, Starsgrace, was only brought out for the knighting of new Knights of The Realm.
The Duke begins to speak in a tone befitting a noble of his status. "People of Ivory Hall, we are gathered in these sacred hall by which our fair city is named, to honor these fine young men and women, one of whom is our own Holy Maiden Evelyn! The Gods of Light, Kami of Tengoku, and the Titans have heard our prayers, for by the combined efforts of these eight heroes, we are now free of the undead abomination that had been terrorizing our homes. It for their brave actions that I have summoned Ser Anthony Drakeblood, a premier Knight of The Realm, so that he may welcome these shining Lights into his order as brothers and sisters." The crowed cheered and roared with applause. "But, first they must accept this honor, and take the Oath of the Knights of The Realm. Ser Anthony?" The Duke looked at the Knight, who nodded his head and approached us.
"Adam Black, Evelyn Aurora, Thomas and Celica Elric, William Rogers, Alice Snow, Samuel Quill, and Alexandria Rose, for the actions you have taken in defense of the realm of Sanctum, you are awarded the chance to join the Knights of The Realm. This position is a great privilege and comes with many privileges and responsibilities. Do you accept?"
You...
[]-Accept.
[]-Decline.
