Extinction (Certain Death)

[Unilateral]

Within the sacred grounds of Mavethkar, the impending doom thrust upon those tasked with the defense of their Homeland did not escape its residents. 
Plans had been made prior to the culminating event seeing the severity of the circumstances, 
the Mephans and residents of Mavethkar would regroup elsewhere - however, one lone Mephan refuses to leave Mavethkar in its darkest hour.

Her name, was Vena Mephan - the Twin sister of Zathrian Mephan, the daughter of Urano, and Ophis.

Vena Mephan "Yeah? Well I was raised here, in that tower, in that castle."



Vena Mephan  "Like hel I'm gonna defend it."

Zathrian Mephan "And die."

Vena Mephan "So be it."

Zathrian Mephan "And what would you have accomplished?"

Vena Mephan "Fighting for my home."

Zathrian Mephan  "I don't know. But if there is no one in Mavethkar."

Zathrian Mephan "You're not allowed to defend it."

Zathrian Mephan "You're aren't defending anything if it's guaranteed destroyed."

Vena Mephan "Not until I die."

"I don't care if I'm alone."

"I'm gonna fight my heart out if I have to."

The grounds of Mavethkar held tremendous significance to the twins, espescially so due to the Gate of Death which had been laid there.
 While the young Mephan could not possibly hope to defend the entire Island, she would stand against whatever demonic entity was left to approach Mavethkar, her objective?

Defend the gate of Death with her life, and in so, make an attempt saving the defining factor of Mavethkar from destruction.

She had a month to prepare - after having endured The Rite of Threshold she was invigorated, and dedicated to defending what was not hers, but the property of her Grandmother Salem, and Lady Death herself.

She assumed an unorthodox approach, she knew it would be entirely useless to try to weaken the Perfect Demon dispatched to her home, so instead? She aims to make herself as strong as possible by turning Mavethkar into a battlefield, where everything could be used to her benefit in battle, to achieve this she sacrificed her entire horde.

Her gravitational magic is utilised to destroy everything except the castle, tower and gate - she then infuses the battered terrain with crushed Adamantite, effectively creating highly conductive shrapnel in wait for her enemy, to be exploited by her gravitational mana.

She doesn't stop there, she goes further - trying to make any advantage she could to empower herself. In specific chunks of terrain, beside the Adamantite she placed Viridum, crushed in the same nature, but ultimately much lesser and more limited than the Adamantite, she meant business, and she wasn't going to spare any expense, nor suffer a lack of creativity. Tyrium was placed in large excess within specific areas, they had been made into sharp, yet easily breakable shards, she hoped her enemy would not notice them within the utter destruction that laid beyond the Gate of Death, Tower, and Castle.

She constructs makeshift defenses - in several layers before the gate of death. The first layer was made of Blue Mercury, it was jagged and sharp, it was easy to destroy, but if it had been, once more shrapnel would be a threat her enemy would face. The second layer was made with Copper, and Iron. A much more sturdy defense, and it had been ever so slightly coated in Nyeshk. The final layer was built entirely of Mythril - creating three distinct barriers to prevent the gate of death from being destroyed.

And with her work concluded, she sends a prayer to her Constant, the Lady of Death, Mortyl - as well as her Grandmother Salem.

"Lady of Death, hear my call. Our home lays in great peril, but I have not abandoned what means more than the world to us.

By the might of Morana,

By the Apathy of Salem,

And by the Remembrance, and grief of Bronach,

Provide me the power to do what is necessary for our home!"


She did all she possibly could - to ensure the best chance of survival for the Gate of Death, even if it would cost her - her own life.
