Quote:Location of Interest; 'Ruins of Achyon': Droplets of dew gather upon the palms of leaves - as each rolls down, the coalescence of water collects into a puddle at the base of the flora and vegetation that rises through concrete and steel alike. Every now and then, amongst the natural birdsong that echoes throughout the ruins - the sound of metal clanking, the sound of gears shifting can be heard amongst the ruins. Occasionally....Shadows flicker - past experiments, humanoid robots, and failed synthetics can be seen glitching amongst the realm. Eventually, the sound of feet - much like the soft drizzle of rain could be heard in the distance. Eventually...Those become a downpour - not just one, nor two...Not just five. But ten. But a hundred.
A hellish roar from below marks the battle of two families. "Let BLOOD be our sacrament."--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Declaration of War by Taka Alder on Behalf of the 'Alder Family':Quote:"It's true that early in my life, I viewed most of the world as my enemy. As an aimless child, I was hurt and angry at the fact that so many people had what I had not....But there are people who changed that for me. Rufus and Aurora Alder took me in and change my life for the better...They made me see the difference in what it means to be a Monster. And a human. And as I grew older, the people that I used to see as my enemies and rivals are no longer such...They are my family; People of Esshar...
You are my family.
Understand that this is no wake-up-call, because you are already woke. This is no call-to-arms because every magi and civilian on this island already have what it takes to fend themselves. Instead...On Behalf of the Alder Family, this is a Declaration of War on 'The Family'. For far too long have the Illythia's and Alexei's of this world fed upon our family members, our lovers, and our children. For far too long have they been maiming and experimenting on the things that we love the most. From this point on, we no longer allow fate to dictate us. Instead - we will use our fate as weapons to drive stakes in the hearts and heads of every vampire that has plagued us. We will allow our climb to be the one thing that sets us apart from those that have sacrificed their humanity for power.
Families of Esshar, do not cry for Strength that you already have because the art of war isn't in the physical aspect. It is hearing your heart beating- it is knowing that you are alive. Pressing forward through defeat is not suicide, nor is it the same as running from your mistakes...So let not the past dictate the present. From this point on...My family.
Our family, moves as one.
Illythia, Alexei, Niffty, and all others whom follow suite.
Your time on this earth is but a temporary, waning flame.
I am coming.
My family is coming.
