The Titan Ahamkara, Shovoroth, flew high in the night sky above the Himalayan Mountain range below him, the full moon shining down on his white and black-tipped scales.
The Guardian that had saved his life, Alice, was coming to meet with him and Emaria soon, with baggage in tow. But until they arrived, he might as well have a flight in the chilled air. But he kept close to the mountain where he now stayed so Alice would know where to go when she came.
He thought about the entire reason why she was coming. And it made his blood boil at the very thought of it.
Grixis. That accursed demon's downfall couldn't come soon enough! The thought that his mate was still linked to him made his hate for him fester all the more. But she was no longer under his spell. She was with him, and he had taken steps to endure that demon never found her again.
He cleared his head of his dark thoughts. Grixis would pay for what he has done. Soon. For now, he had to be patient, and wait for his company to arrive.

[b]Alice stands atop the small rocky crest of a mountain side in a arctic gear. Mostly black armor plating over thick insulation materials to combat the freezing temperatures of the high mountain altitude. But one thing that wasn't different was her cloak, the Dead Zone Revolution whipping at the blowing gale, indicating of a blizzard yet to come.[/b] [b]Alice turned around to see Anaxis, in a similar arctic setup to her, climbing up the last bit of rock wall to the crest.[/b] "Ya took a while." [b]Alice says with a smile.[/b] "Not used to climbing up rock-walls without the help of your ship?"
-
Edited by Zalamiir: 12/31/2015 4:29:44 AMAnaxis, who had sections of his armor layered in fur, giving it the look of a black colored Holdfast armor variant, pulled himself up over the last bend of rock and onto the peak of the mountain. Just in time to hear Alice's smug comment. He looked at her, and gave her an slow, unamused chuckle. He then began to comb the night sky, but only to see what he had been seeing for the past Traveler knows how many hours: Black and snow. Still looking out across the horizon, he let out a sigh. "So where is this damn lizard at?"
-
[b]She shrugs, then points directly up.[/b] "There." [b]Still hundreds of feet up to the peak of the mountain, but still no sight of the giant Ahamkara.[/b]
-
He looked up into the dark sky, focusing on certain parts of it, searching for anything that moved through the clouds. But no luck. Even being an Exo with enhanced sight, he couldn't catch anything abnormal in the sky. Freakin' clouds. He shifted in his place, quickly losing patience with every second that past. Finally he couldn't take the silence, excluding the wind. "Okay, seriously, where is-" He was cut off as the winged giant burst through the cloud layer high in the sky, before leveling out over the mountain range, slowly gliding towards their mountain.
-
"So... Do you wanna lift or do you wanna fly?" [b]She says while pulling out her wing suit attachments.[/b]
-
Was that a joke question? "I think I get a lift and a flight whoever I go with. Are saying I'm supposed to go with you on..." He looked up and down at Alice's attire, gesturing to it a second later. "That?"
-
"What? No, of course not silly. You do have your wing suit attachments, right? The ones I gave you?" [b]She has a big smile on her face, even as Shovoroth comes flying in close.[/b]
-
Anaxis raised a metallic eyebrow, of course no one could see that due to his helmet. Seriously? That's what all this extra junk was, a flight suit? "You know I weigh a lot more than you do when it comes to armor. You'll be fine, but me? I jump off this mountain, and I'm plummeting to my death." [i]"Wouldn't be the first time,"[/i] Maxus threw in. "Not helping Maxus."
-
[b]She shrugs.[/b] "In that case you can take the lift he'll give." [b]Alice then speaks into her mind.[/b] [i]Hey Shovoroth, how are ya doing?[/i]
-
Shovoroth cast his gaze on the mountain peak where Alice and her baggage were located, using Alice's consciousness as a beacon. [i]I've been better.[/i]
-
[i]Emaria?[/i] [b]She asks him.[/b]
-
At the mention of her name, his anger rose again. Day after day, she was tortured by the plague of Reborn power that kept her alive. The dark thoughts that came with it, and the agony that came if she tried to resist. And it was all because of that [i]demon, Grixis![/i]
-
[b]Alice feels the hatred flow through Shovoroth and into her, just barely able to contain it.[/b] "Well I'm never mentioning that name again." [b]She says out loud.[/b] [i]Okay, well, are you able to stop and take the package with you, or should he just jump on and hang on?[/i] [b]She says in her head.[/b]
-
That was when a voice from below could be heard. " Wait guys, coming too... whoops that could have been bad!" Then the head and torso of Garuud the Titan could be seen coming over the lip of the cliff face. " So, I take it that we are grabbing info from Emaria?"
-
Edited by Zalamiir: 12/31/2015 5:53:54 PMOnce he heard Alice's voice again, he suppressed his anger and buried his thoughts as best he could. But they still lingered to a degree. Then he focused back on the mountain, to find that yet another Guardian had arrived. He let out a deep sigh through the mental link. [i]I believe I'm collecting both of them. Prepare them.[/i] With that, he tucked in his left wing, turning himself toward the mountain, and made his approach.
-
Garuud looked up as he climbed to the final lip of the mountain. " I don't get why he made his home here... but it is roomy...for a mountain." Garuud chuckled as the Ahamkara approached.
-
"You'll see." [b]She says watching his descent. [/b] "besides, you guys need to get out more and complete the bucket list you guys have." [b]When Shovoroth got closer, she prepared herself, ready to jump. [/b] "You two are gonna have one shot at this, so I suggest you time it well."
-
" I got this!" Garuud yelled as he got ready, his boots making divets in the ground from the pressure of him pushing against the mountain.
-
Anaxis lowered himself to the ground, waiting for the moment to jump, quite possibly, into death. "Well this is gonna be fun." With one beat of his wings, Shovoroth angled himself into the skies, keeping his massive fore-claws open so the two Guardians could jump onto him.
-
[b]She smiles, and waits for Shovoroth to fly by so she can use his slip stream to keep herself in the air. [/b] "I think it's safe to say that I'm glad I'll be-" [b]She pauses for dramatic effect[/b] "-staying behind."
-
Shovoroth knew what Alice was wishing to do. The corners of his mouth pulled back at the thought. He wasn't going to disappoint. He continued to glide toward the mountain, until he was a few meters away from the peak. Once he was close enough, he angled himself into the air, and with one massive beat of his wings, lifted himself high into the air, creating a torrent of wind rivaled that from a hurricane. The resulting blast of wind caused several avalanches to occur on the mountains around them. He soared past the mountain. He glanced down at his claws, seeing the two Guardians in the palm of his hand. The psychotic one was most likely having the time of his life. The other, not so much. He let out a chuckle, sounding like a deep rumbling sound in his throat, returning his focus ahead of him. He wasn't concerned with Alice, however. He already knew where she was.
-
[b]Above Shovoroth, Alice rides the winds he produced. She laughs out loud at the speed she flies through the air, the roaring sounds around her of avalanches beginning giving her a massive boost of adrenaline.[/b] [i]I see why you love to fly.[/i] [b]She thinks.[/b] [i]Its quite the rush.[/i]
-
Shovoroth couldn't help but grin at the statement. It truly was a wonderful thing to fly, especially after so long. He returned his focus back to reality as they made their destination. A large wall of snow and frost awaited them directly ahead. It stretched from left to right as far as the eye could see. But this was not a natural occurrence. This was of his own making. As he approached the blizzard wall, he ceased his connection to the world around him. Immediately, the blizzard began to die down until a section of it ceased to exist. When it did, it revealed another thing that only an Ahamkara like him was capable of. A mountain, broader and taller than any other, with an opening in the side large enough for him to enter and exit through, stood absolute in the middle of the torrent of the blizzard. As they passed through the threshold of the blizzard, he connected to the primal forces of the world, sealing the gap in the frost-like wall.
-
[b]When they went through, Alice closed herself up, limiting the amount of wind that would whip at her from the blizzard, essentially falling with style now. But as soon as they were on the other side, she opened up again, letting herself glide once more. [/b] [b]How did you do all this? I mean, the power you wield is unimaginable to me.[/b]
-
Shovoroth turned and tilted his head to the side, allowing himself the ability to look back at Alice gliding nearby. [i]All Ahamkara are connected to the world. Most could only allow small things to occur: rainfall for example. Fewer could cause small disturbances. But there were only two that could bend and shape the world to their will. Luckily it was with two that knew the boundaries of themselves and the world around them.[/i]
