The guiding hand into oblivion...
Caym thought for a moment when they returned. Standing in the hallway as Anaita walked to her quarters. It wasn't something that he could speak to her about without seeming absolutely crazy. "A hatred that echoes across time?" he muttered to himself. It didn't seem possible for him to hate further than he himself was able to. He knew just how much he should be allowed, but there wasn't a way to limit it. Anaita did a great job of getting him used to it however. Deep in thought he didn't notice Chitiro sneaking up on him and pouncing on his head before making a pose. "I am here!" he announced. Caym picked him up off his head and poked his stomach. Chitiro laughed. "Your getting nice and plump. You'll make a great snack soon." said Caym. In all honesty Caym was serious, but Chitiro laughed anyways. "Heard you got owned." said the small creature sneering. "Found out I was being limited you punk. Now I can beat on you even harder!" said Caym stretching out Chitiro's face.
Then Rayner interrupted "Caym I need to speak with you." said Rayner. Caym dropped RakShok and turned to him. "Ya what is it?" he responded. Rayner flashed towards Caym attempting to attack him with all he had. Caym jumped back and kicked hard cancelling out his attack. "What do you plan to do with all that hatred?" asked Rayner. Caym didn't understand the question. Spinning rapidly Caym kicked at Rayner. "Whatever I please?" answered Caym. Rayner flashed to the right dodging a kick and shot both palms forward. Caym powered a palm in darkness and enlarged it to grab both palms and punched Rayner in the face with his left hand. Rayner flashed a slight light explosion separating them before the punch connected. Rayner looked at Caym understanding something. "Your more than one person." said Rayner. "What do you mean by that old man?" said Caym. Rayner smiled. "Nothing just be yourself Caym." he answered. Caym turned not wanting to hear that nonsense anymore. "That was the plan before you gave the order." said Caym walking off.
"What was that about?" asked Chitiro. "Like I care." answered Caym. He decided to ask Anaita about the whole situation a little more before he would return to his own quarters. Hopefully she would be finished changing clothes already. Walking into her room he arrived just as she was behind a curtain. Seeing her silhouette behind the curtain he blushed slightly and turned around. Anasta was luckily too busy picking on Chitiro to notice his reaction. "Stop tugging on my ears that hurts!" protested Chitiro. But Anasta enjoyed that more than anything only stopping to help Anaita comb out her hair. As he saw her exit her curtain fully dressed he turned back around. "Ahem...So If you are right. And one day the worlds balance themselves out. What purpose will we serve? Watchers? Seems boring." he said. Crescence and Rayner needed to sort out the way things would run now. For now all Caym and Anaita could do was talk.
Crescence was pacing around her room. She felt uneasy. More so then she had in all her years of being. Suddenly she felt a deep pressure and fell on the floor. Curling up she tried to focus, but it was as if too much information was flowing into her. Her entire being was telling her one thing. "Caym needed to die". She knew that she alone couldn't kill him. Him and Anaita were granted eternal life. Her and Rayner needed to do it together. Rayner walked in the room and saw his wife on the floor he rushed to her side. "Are you al-" he said before being interrupted. " We need to destroy Caym." she said. Rayner was puzzled. "He is a little different yes. But that is little reason to kill him." he answered. Crescence sat up he hair falling around her face. "He is not Caym. Not the Caym that we made. Someone else made this one." she responded. "The universe is becoming too complex we need to limit it now!" she yelled. Rayner shook his head. "We need to allow things to expand, and one day we won't have to watch them so careful. Complexity is a beautiful thing." said Rayner smiling. "You will regret this..." answered Crescence. Rayner was concerned for his wife. She had never acted this way before. "I think you need to rest dear." he answered helping her into the bed. Kissing her forehead he let her sleep.
"...Don't let him tell you its fine." said a voice. "Is it fine for your world to crumble around you...?" said the voice. Crescence woke up but it wasn't her room. She was in a dark castle. "If Rayner will not listen...You must kill him too. I know you have thought about it." said the voice. A man appeared in front of her in a dark hood. He grinned at her. "Master Crescence you will run this universe. You need only give me the command to get this cycle started." he said holding out his hand. Crescence stared at him for a moment. "Yes..." she said grabbing hand. Suddenly the castle faded away along with the man. She was sitting in her own bed with her hand out. Retracting it she wept. "Please listen to me Rayner..." she muttered.
...can be a familiar one.

 ~ Walking through a dream, I see you. My light in darkness breathing hope of new life.Anaita stepped out and smiled at Caym. She was surprised that he followed her. He normally avoided her quarters since it was filled with light objects. Oh well, he must have something he needed to talk about. Padding out with bare feet, she pulled Anasta off of Chitiro and moved to sit on her bed with Anasta on her lap. "Behave Anasta, they're guests in our room. Pick on him when he leaves the room." she said as she patted Anasta's head a few times before releasing her. "Just wait till you leave the room." Anasta whispered to Chitiro as she motioned for the door. She would behave as Anaita requested, but all hell would break loose when the men left. Like Anaita finding Caym, Anasta could always find Chitiro, no matter how hard he tried to hide from her. She really thought that he should just give up and let her mess with him. That or get a clue, but he was a shy and slow boy. It would take him some time for him to understand she liked him.
Motioning for Caym to sit on either the bed or chairs in her room, Anaita thought for a moment. What purpose could they serve if the purpose they were created for was complete? They wouldn't be recycled, but there wasn't much else they could do. "I doubt we would be watchers. Crescence does enough watching for everyone in this building and then some. But I honestly think we would simply be done and would be able to go out into the worlds and live our lives among those we cared for." she said thoughtfully. The idea was pleasant, being able to live a simple life in a realm and just bring joy to those around her. It seemed more of a life than what they were currently living. Their lives now were still controlled and many things were kept from them. To be able to live free without being anyone's pawn seemed like a dream come true and Anaita knew much about dreams. She was, after all, the keeper of light. Light was composed of some dreams of many.
"Wouldn't you like that? I'm sure there is a realm you could run free and absolutely reckless. And Chitiro would have some space from Anasta. Though I do admit, if we all lived our own lives, it would be quite some time before we might all see each other. Time is always funny like that, but we'll always know what the other is thinking." she said with a laugh as she touched her forehead before pointing to his. No matter what they did or chose to do in the future, they would always be connected, whether they liked it or not. Personally, Anaita didn't mind. Caym was a good man. Crazy often and quite immature, but he was a good man that she could depend on if the situation required it. However the results from their fight taught her that she'd win in a fight. Laughing, she knew he probably heard that thought and wanted a rematch. That was something he wouldn't get since she didn't like to fight if it was unnecessary. Now I live through you and you through me, enchanting. I pray in my heart that this dream never ends. ~

 It isn't safe to rest around such a beast...Chitiro stuck out his tongue at Anasta but quickly retracted it after her threat. He had plan to just stay in the room there. But if Anaita and Caym left there would be no stopping her. So for now he would stick close to Caym and hope for the best. "I suppose they could make use run errands" he said chuckling. He could hardly think of actually living in a place like the towns he had been to. The beings were so frail that if he even tried to treat something with care he would probably end up corrupting the whole planet. That would only confirm what Crescence thought about him. And he would do anything to prove her wrong. But for that he needed help.
"That all sounds well and good.But if we did get to live somewhere else...I think i'd rather stick with you. I'm not so good at this not destroy everything quite yet." he said scratching his face slightly."Caym come on we could have a cool spot just made for blowing stuff up!" said Chitiro. Just when Chitiro was getting use to the idea of having some time to himself Caym had to go and say that. "I've never been much of a people person." He said finally taking a seat in a chair near the bed. Now that he had his full power the light that she had her room didn't affect him as much. It was weird having his own opinion about things. It was something he never knew he was missing.
He wondered what the true extent of his power was now, but he would have to test it on someone other than Anaita. She only fought for a good reason. Or if Crescence and Rayner ordered her too. Now however they had no reason to fight. And they certainly weren't going to have them fight simply for entertainment. Also when they left Rayner would have to deal with Crescence and her craziness. Served him right for ever limiting my hatred...
Rayner walked back into the room to check on Crescence and saw her sitting up in bed. "Are you alright dear?" asked Rayner. Crescence took a while to respond. "I'm fine dear. Just in shock still" she answered. Rayner could sense that something was off, but he couldn't tell what. "We'll we need to decide what we will do with them. And no we aren't killing Caym" he said. Crescence closed her eyes. "Indeed we aren't killing Caym." she answered. We are killing you...she thought. But how would she do it?
She needed him in a weakened state, but he was always so careful. Even with her. The closest to their power would be Caym and Anaita. But she couldn't count on them. And this new being. Even though he seemed strong he too was not to be trusted....Just might get bitten.

 I may not know it, but these are the moments that I'm gonna remember most, yeah."So you would want to live with me and then destroy everything? That would make for a very awkward relationship." Anaita said with a laugh. She laughed even harder when Chitiro spoke. He and Anasta were adorable helpers that always made her smile. Not that it was difficult for her to smile, in fact it was quite the opposite, but watching them was different. To her, they were like children and she truly loved children. There was no greater innocence in the world like that of a child. They were pure light. When the darkness finds them, she always felt a bit sad, but that was the way of life. Running her fingers through Anasta's hair, the helper just closed her eyes and went into a light sleep in her lap. Anaita knew that Caym might know what she was thinking, but it didn't matter. She wanted to know what it was like to have her own child. For her, she wasn't even sure if she could. Being anatomically female and knowing if the parts worked were completely different things.
Time was passing quickly and it was almost time for her shift in the new world. Gently rubbing Anasta's arm, she tried to wake her helper. Sleepy eyes peered up at her. Stretching, Anasta shook her head before getting up fully. "Do you require something of me Anaita?" she asked with a slur. Bending down, Anaita blew onto Anasta's face and the light re-energized the little girl. "Would you go to Crescence and Rayner and ask her what our duties are to be now? I wouldn't want to go down to the planet without that being in their plan." Nothing more was said as Anasta flew off quickly to the throne room. Looking to Caym, she wondered what their fate would be. What if her thoughts were correct and they would live somewhere else than this castle? It would be such an exciting adventure. Somewhere new that they could shape as they wished. It almost seemed too good to be true, but one could hope. And Anaita was hoping with all her heart that it would be true. She was tired of their horrible way of having them manage the balance in the worlds.
Returning faster than expected, Anasta tried to stop quickly but ended up crashing into a pillow. She was out of breath and Anaita knew the helper flew very quickly because she was excited about something. Standing, she went to where she fell and picked her up. Waiting for the girl to catch her breath, she took her back to the bed so Caym could hear what the verdict was properly. Sitting up, Anasta looked at Anaita with a bright smile. That was more than enough for her to decipher. Looking into the girl's eyes, she saw the planet they were to inhabit. "I would suggest you begin packing. We have a new home." she said as she stood and used her magic to condense everything and store it away in one bag. This freedom they were given made her happier than she had been for many celestial cycles. It might be difficult at first since they still had to make the home and inhabitants, but they could do it. They had seen the Creators do it many times and had trained under them for most of their celestial cycles. Their new life was going to be great, she could feel it deep down in her soul. Just gotta keep going. And I, I got to be strong. Just keep pushing on.

 Crescence - Creator of all Life Crescence and Rayner eventually came to a decision to give Caym and Anaita their own realm. That way if they were ever needed in the future it would be easy to summon them again. It was mainly Rayner's plan. If she had her way they would both be recycled into regular people. The main person she didn't trust was Caym. He had far to much power than she felt he should. But this was the best way to deal with them. After all there was no promise that the planets would be able to survive. They would need them again if the plan were to backfire. Coincidentally when they had finally decided on a realm Anasta dashed in. "Perfect this makes things easier." said Rayner Turning to the little creature. "You can tell them that they are being sent to their own realm. I'm sure Anaita will be excited." said Rayner smiling. Anasta wasted no time in head off back to Anaita's room.
Anaita was quiet for a little while, and Caym being curious read her mind. But when it about a child he was more curious than embarrassed. He didn't know if they were able to either. They looked like humans and shared the same anatomy, but it was something that he didn't know either. Chitiro sat looking back and forth and Anaita and Caym. Then Anasata came charging in and knocked Chitiro into a wall before landing on the bed. "So that is what they chose?" said Caym. "Have to say it will be nice to make a place with the purpose of living there." Caym stood and picked up Chitiro who was dizzy from being knocked around. "Come one buddy lets go get ready." he said laughing as he waved to Anaita. "See you in the throne room." he said as he ran to his room.
He didn't have a lot to pack, and neither did he want to bring everything. Packing up a few weapons and personal things he placed them and condensed them into a small bag. Then he left for the throne room to meet up with Anaita. He was glad to be done with this place, and soon he would have his own place to call home. Meeting Anaita at the door they walked in together, Rayner and Crescence were waiting for them. "Well it about time." said Rayner crossing his arms. Then he walked up and hugged both of them, and Crescence did the same. Caym supposed that they felt like their parents even thought they simply created them. He would give them their moment even though Caym just wanted to go."Alright are you two ready?" asked Rayner. They both nodded and Rayner focused for a moment. Then in a flash of light they were transported to their new realm.
It didn't take long to create the world as most might think. Ofcourse Anaita painted the lush beautiful parts of the world as Caym created the harsh dangerous landscapes. But they whirled together in a perfect balance. Chitiro and Anasta kept an eye on things as they were being built. Eventually the building was done. Caym and Anaita could finally enjoy the world they had built. And after a while the two grew close. Enjoying the world that they had built together. And even Anasta came out with her feelings to Chitiro who had been a fool too long for her tastes.
"Why didn't you just say that in the first place?!" asked Chitiro. "You know that guys are terrible with hints. Even if they are painfully obvious!" That comment got him a smack upside the head. And as Anasta pouted Chitiro kissed her on the cheek. "Sorry." Chitiro said smiling. Suddenly there was a crying beneath them. Dropping down from the roof the two peered inside the window of the house. Caym was holding a baby with a confused expression. "Why do you always cry when I hold you!?" said Caym. "Never expected a baby to play favorites." he sighed. Young Isandro was now six months old, and still knew how to get his father riled up. Gently handing the child to Anaita it was almost disturbing how fast he stopped crying. "Rawr I don't know what to do. As soon as your old enough the training you will go through will be so brutal!" he said to Isandro.
Crescence stood over Rayner's body breathing hard. Signa stood next to her smiling. "That was easier than I thought it would be. Good work." he said grinning. Crescence turned to him and punched him into a wall. "Don't act as if you made a huge difference." she said she began to cry. "He was a great man. But a fool..." she said. Stopping her own tears she stood up straight. "The preparations for the Fates are complete." said Signa getting up slowly. "You need only give the order." Crescence picked up Rayner and held him close. Absorbing him into herself. A rush of power flashed out almost to the point she couldn't contain it. She hesitated for a moment, but didn't know why. "Send them and destroy it. And kill everything there. Everything." she said holding her forehead. "As you wish." said Signa walking away and fading into the shadows with a grin.

 ~ All these lives that you've been taking, deep inside, my heart is breaking. Broken homes from separation. Don't you know it's violation?It didn't take long for Anaita to pack. Everything she thought would be handy or essential in their new life she packed away as well as her bedding. It was the most comfortable and though it made her bag slightly bulky, she deemed it absolutely necessary. Picking up her bang and putting it over her shoulder, she took one last look at her room before leaving with Anasta. Meeting with Caym in front of the throne room, she was beyond excited to be leaving. Nodding to Caym, they walked into teh room together to face the Creators. Hugs were distributed between everyone before they were finally asked if they were ready. Of course they were and soon they were on a very barren planet. "We have our work cut out for us." she said as she put her bag on the ground. Anasta sat upon it as they got everything ready for life. She focused on the lush greenery and coastal areas. The beaches she created had white sand and the clearest water seen in any world. The forest lands were dense with the most beautiful plants she could remember from the other worlds and some she created off of a whim.
At the end of it all, the balance between the two was perfect and they didn't even need to try. Like she had been saying all along, once mature enough the balance can keep itself on its own. The last thing they created was their perfect home. That's right, their. Working together for so long on something they cared a lot for brought them together. It took her a while to acknowledge how she felt, but she remembered the day he told her how he felt. For him, it started when she kissed him in order to save him from himself. For her, it started when she watched him working on his land. The passion he showed was admirable. It wasn't long after that they shared their first kiss and became the couple they were destined to be. They were, after all, made for each other. They balanced one another and when together created harmony. Many human couples would be jealous of the union they shared, except for one thing: they could have children while Anaita and Caym still did not know if that was possible. Eventually they figured it out and nine months later had a beautiful blond haired male baby.
Hearing Isandro cry, Anaita went towards the sound only to see Caym struggle with their child. Laughing into her hand, she went forward with her arms out to take the child from Caym. "He bonded with me first and I was the one who had to give birth. It's only natural he wants me more than you." she said as she took Isandro in her arms. Cooing at her baby, she hushed Caym. "You will not be cruel for our child." she said as she gently rocked her baby. Long ago she never thought it was possible, especially not with Caym, but now life could not be better. Smiling at her other half, she shifted so she could give him a quick kiss. "Ooh, I bet Isandro will have a sibling soon." she said with a chuckle. Chitiro told her to watch what she was saying, but Anaita didn't mind. Did she want another child so soon after having Isandro? No, but after some time she'd be up to it. And the best part of not being human was that after he was born, her figure went right back to how it was. Even though he never said it, she knew Caym was glad it happened so quickly. He loved her no matter what, but looking good does help.It's so wrong, but you'll see. Never gonna let you take my world from me. The world outside these walls may know you're breathing, but you ain't comin' in. ~

 "Another kid eh? As long as the next one likes me I'll be fine with it." he said smiling at his son in his wife arms. Even though his son didn't seem to like him he knew that he would grow strong just like him and Anaita. And he was the ultimate balance of light and dark. He would command both sides with ease, and because of that he would easily understand the universe. He had high expectations for his son. The days with Anaita felt like paradise. Even though sometimes they had disagreements it was never filled with anger. It was apparent that he had at last been tamed after all. But if it was for Anaita and his family he didn't mind. Suddenly he began to hear things from far away. Pain and suffering on an unimaginable scale. It upset the balance in an instant. But nothing or anyone should have had power like that. He was sure that Anaita felt it too. Running to the window he looked to a far away town seeing smoke bellow into the sky. "Keep an eye on things Chitiro. Anaita..." he said looking to her and Isandro. He knew she would protect the child without him instructing her. She was a good mother. He nodded and leaped out the window drawing his blades. reaching the town in an instant the carnage was nightmarish. And in the middle was a man in a white hood. A familiar demonic sword gripped in his hand. Turning to Caym the man smiled. "Hello Caym." said the man grinning. "I was wondering when you'd get here." Caym could tell this man was familiar and so was that sword. He knew this man from somewhere. "Kestrel...nice to meet you.." said the man. He sensed a lie in the man's tone, but that name clicked. "Your not Kestrel." responded Caym. Signa smirked. "And how would you know that?" said Signa lurching forward. "Seems like the old crone was right. How long have you been here?" asked Signa. "What are you talking about?" asked Caym. Signa laughed. "Playing dumb? You'll know soon enough." answered Signa charging at Caym. Signa slashed rapidly catching Caym slightly off guard. Catching the speed he deflected all of Signa's attacks, but it would seem he was being fooled. A flash of white came from his right and barely avoiding it Caym's neck formed a slight cut. "Luck." said the creepy figure. She held two rapiers both jet black. A large man landed next to her. "Your just a coward. Let me take him one on one.!" said Zaltain. "Not everyone needs to fight..." said Yavayat slinking behind Signa. "We can just go for their son...." Caym's eyes narrowed. "Crescence..." said Caym. Sheathing his swords he brought in darkness from all over the world. A claw of darkness formed as his eyes turned black. He was sure that the imbalance woyld tell Anaita just what type of foe they were up against. "I won't fight a woman as she protects a child. I will stay here and fight this one." said Zaltain stepping forward. "You'll need help" said Yava stepping up next to him. "Fine me and Grigori will get the kid and Anaita." said Signa stretching. "You aren't going anywhere! You all die here!" said Caym punching the ground with the claw. Spires of darkness shot at the four. Signa and Grigori avoided the attacks and shot past Caym. Turning Caym was hit by a spiked chain and kncoked into a wall. "Hey fight fair! Yava I won't warn you again!" yelled Zaltain. "Whatever" responded Yava. Signa hovered above the house smiling. Then he readied his sword and dived down with the intention of estroying the house. Suddenly a large flame appeared in front of him and kocked him to the ground away from the house. Sitting on his head was Chitiro. "I've been charged with protecting this house." he said with a serious face. "And you got a long time before your ready to fight me youngin." said Chitiro. Signa tried to push him off his head, but Chitiro bit his finger and shoved his face in the dirt. "Aren't you listening?" asked Chitiro. Signa god mad and punched the ground sending a shockwave that knocked the creature off of him. Chitiro recovered quickly and extended his claws. But suddenly Chitiro was teleported away. "About time Crescence." said Signa brushing dirt from his head. "Why didn't you help me Grigs?" he asked, "Outmatched." she answered. "What a great help you are!" he said walkeing up to the door. "Hello anyone home?" he yelled to Anaita.

 I will find my way. I can go the distance. I'll be there someday, if I can be strong. Life was absolutely perfect until the balance shifted. A moment of sheer happiness faded away as fear gripped her heart. If their life was blissful for so long, there should be a great reason for why everything began to change. Mind racing as quickly as possible, there were no explanations she could think of, thus causing the fear that wanted to take hold of her. But she was the essence of light, fear was darkness and she would not let it overcome her while she had the precious life to protect in her arms. Nodding to Caym, she watched him leave before getting things ready. Her calculative mind told her that the village wasn't the only thing that was going to be attacked. The house was a viable target and so she needed to set traps. Kissing Chitiro and Anasta to give them protection from her trap, she began filling the house with microscopic light crystals. They were designed to explode and steal the life essence of those who they surrounded. Chitiro was their mine line of defense, but she was a cautious woman.
Heading to the highest room in the house, she looked down at the child in her arms. Hearing Caym's thoughts from far away told her what their target was: Isandro. Analyzing the information at hand, she felt another shift. Chitiro was gone and a voice sounded at her front door. Anasta was starting to get riled that her boyfriend was taken, but Anaita had to calm her. "Anasta, I'm going to need you to take my child and hide him. I can give you both protection should anything happen, but you are my last hope while I fend off whatever is down there." she said with her most motherly and authoritative tone. Anasta nodded as she tried to put a cap on her anger. Looking down at her baby, Anaita felt a tear fall down her face. The last thing she wanted was to be separated from him, but she couldn't fight with him in her arms. Taking off a crystal necklace Caym gave her long ago, she put it around his neck and kissed his forehead. The light in her kiss would protect his memories to that point, but any more than that could be tampered with. It wasn't much, but it was the strongest protection she could give him from Crescence.
"I will find you no matter how far across time and space I have to travel." Anaita said as she handed Isandro to Anasta. By then there were explosions by the crystals in the first floor of their home. "Go and hide as fast as you can. And Anasta, no matter what you hear of feel, do not return to this house." she said as she turned and ran down the stairs. Charging up, the moment she saw a stranger she sent out a cutting laser beam that leveled her home since it cut by expanding like a sphere. Anasta was out of the house by then, cloaking herself and the child as she flew. The crystal forest would be the best place to hide since it was the perfect balance in nature. Anaita was now stepping in front of the one not covered in debris, sword in hand. "You will not get what you came here for." she said as she took her fighting stance and waited. The man behind her began to stir, making things in her mind more difficult. I know every mile will be worth my while. I will go most anywhere to feel like I belong...

 Hate...Love...Jealousy...Fear...Signa walked in expecting an easy fight as was rewarded with painful explosions. Getting knocked around slightly as he tried to steady himself. But as soon as he did that Anaita shot a beam out that cut the house in two easily. Using Sonnellon he created a shield that protected from the light, but the house still came down around him. Grigori laughed as she saw Signa work perfectly as a lab rat for the traps. She knew that Anaita was more clever than that, and kept her distance. Looking down at Anaita from a dead branch she finally jumped down. "Inspiration..." said Grigori summoning her two fencer swords. Her face went as still as a statue. Crossing her swords she bowed to Anaita as a show of respect. "Peaceful...Death." Dashing towards Anaita she increased her speed going faster than the naked eye could follow. Then coming from the side she stabbed two times. before spinning quickly and kicking three times rapidly. Signa climbed out of the rubble and cursed a few times under his breath. Looking at the fight between Anaita and Grigori he felt a little left out. Climbing out he turned his sword back to normal and attempted to join back into the fray, But Grigori would have enjoyed a more personal fight. But Signa was the leader. As she went back and forth with Anaita Signa ran up threw his sword into the ground. As a graveyard of spikes began to shoot up and attack Anaita. Grigori reading the order from Signa dodge the spikes and continued her assault dancing in and out of the spikes. Signa stood still focusing and summoning up more spikes and keeping Anaita in a general area. Caym saw that unleashing nothing but anger was going to get him no where with these two. One pummled him with strong attacks while the other kept him moving with her chain. Caym was better when he could stand still and fend off attackers. Keeping on the move was...Anaita's specialty. Some one had created these clowns just for him. Caym was sure that Anaita was running into the same luck. But Caym and Anaita had been in the game to long to let a few newcomers try to out wit them. Caym steadied his nerves and flipped back away from an attack from the big guy, and spun his sword catching the chain. A move that he picked up from Anaita. Smiling he sent his thoughts to Anaita. "Let's switch it up." he thought. Then he threw his blades back to Anaita knowing she would get the hint. And at the same time Anaita's blade arrived as he caught it. Closing his eyes he took Aniata's stance holding the blade straight out. As Zaltain ran towards him he dodged the attack and striked several times circling him. Smiling as the chain shot towards him. Timing it right he stabbed the sword through the chain and kicked it through Zaltain's back. Using that he launched towards Yavayat and pucnhed her hard in the jaw, Then landing he kicked her in the side and punched her hard in the oppisite direction. Yava gasped tryign to squirm away. Caym smiled and spun around her looping his hand around her waist and jumped into the air slamming her head on the ground. Then grabbing her leg he threw her into Zal who was trying desperately to pull out the blade pinning his spine. As the two collided Caym punched the ground encasing them in an orb of darkness. Smiling he held out his fist as the sphere contracted and began to crush them. As Anasta fled to the crystal forest it seemed to be going fine, but that was far from the truth. A strange glow covered the forest as a woman walked through the trees towards Anasta. "Enough of these games. Give me that abomination!" said Crescence. Crescence didn't even need to hear a response to know the creatures response. That defiant stare. Narrowing her eyes she unsheathed her blade and striked down quickly to sever Anasta and the child in one blow. But a strong force held the attack back. It took amoment for Crescence to see who it was, but that intense heat could only come from one person... Chitiro. "I sealed you away! What is this nonsense?" she asked demanding an answer. "You monster...!" yelled Chitiro. "Even Rayner could see your wickedness!" Tears of magma flowed from his eyes and burned into the ground. "Kn...Knowing that he still...he still...died loving you. This is the moment. Don't worry Rayner we are ready!" Chitiro snapped the sword in half and flashed forward punching he hard in the stomach. Focusing a small super nova he sent Crescence flying through several trees. Standing up straight he knew Anasta was still standing behind him. Turning around he held his hand up and Anasta walked up touching his hand. Transferring energy to Anasta he gave her true form as well. Anasta holding the child in one arm and her hammer in the other smiled. "It's up to us to take her down." said Chitiro. "Put him somewhere safe. We can't let her control the universe on our watch." After Anasta found a safe place in the largest tree she returned to him. Grabbing Anasta's waist he kissed her. Pulling away as he sense Crescence closing in. Smiling he started charging towards her with Anasta right behind him. ...Welcome...Death.

 Desperate StruggleAnaita was having a hard time keeping up with the onslaught of attacks from Signa and Grigori. She was holding her own, but she just couldn't find a place to ground herself. That was before she was granted Caym's weapons. They were slightly heavier, but now she had two of them. Spinning quickly she dispelled the spikes that were around her and knocked Grigori off balance. Trying to be clever Grigori slipped behind Signa. Signa got the clue and ran towards the goddess of light at full speed.
Anaita narrowed her eyes. Signa slipped past her and tried to attack from behind, but something held him in place. A sword stuck into his shadow nailed him in place, as well as the witch that hid inside it. Holding her blade straight up she brought it down over his head cleaving him in two. Looking back to the blade she stuck in the ground she smiled. Grigori was now in her normal form again with a sword piercing her heart. Grigori coughed up a bit of blood as she desperately tried to remove the blade. Simply placing a hand on the blade Anaita fed an immense amount of light into it. Grigori screamied before being consumed in the light and vanishing.
Just as Anaita was about to celebrate two orbs of light rose from Signa and Grigori, and shot off into the distance. She took that as a sign that the fight wasn't over, but she hoped that at least bought her some time to find her child. 'I'm heading off to find Isandro so follow when you can!' she thought to Caym. She was surprised when he responded with better news than she hoped. 'I'm heading there myself now. See you there.' he thought back to her.
Crescence smirked as she arrived to see the two breaking from their romance. "How precious," she said chuckling. Chitiro gave her no response, emotional or verbal, instead he took his fighting pose. Anasta gripped her hammer tight readying herself to fight the one who created them. Crescence's smile faded as she began walking towards them. The aura of her blade turned dark and began to decay the ground as she slid her blade on the dirt. Suddenly four orbs of light flew through the forest and circled around Crescence.
"Just on time" she smiled lifting her hand pointing it at Chitiro and Anasta. The orbs spun fast creating a ethereal power that fired off like a snake at the two celestial warriors. Anasta shot off ahead of Chitiro and with her hammer slammed the energy into the ground deflecting it downwards. Dashing in Chitiro grabbed her as the energy shot up from the ground where she once stood. Letting her go Anasta slammed a tree with her hammer. As it fell Chitiro punched into the side of it and engulfed it in flames. Then swinging her hammer like a bat she splintered the tree. Lifting his hand he guided the flaming shards towards Crescence.
She turned her sword swinging it so hard the broad side of the sword created a gust so strong it sent the shards away. Suddenly her face felt hot. Appearing faster than he should have been able Chitiro punched her into the ground. Roaring loudly he began punching her deeper and deeper into the ground. The got about six feet down before a blast of light shot Chitiro up and out of the whole. The beam of light almost consumed him, but a hit from Anasta's thrown hammer knocked him out of it. Anasta caught her lover and set him on his feet before calling back her hammer. The pillar of light that almost claimed Chitiro slowly dwindled revealing Crescence without even a scratch. "You didn't..." said Chitiro breathing hard. She looked at him with a solemn expression as she placed a hand on the center of her chest. "He will always be with me." she answered. Chitiro spat out some blood. "Then this still isn't the cycle?" he said punching the ground.
"What are you going on about?" asked Anasta. "Your not giving up are you? We take her down no matter how strong she thinks she is!" Chitiro stood up wiping his mouth. "Come on don't you know you by now?" he asked as he burned brighter than before. "Even with Rayner's power we are still going to give you more than you bargained for!" answered Chitiro. Grabbing Anasta's hand she was enveloped in his flames. She brought her hammer to the middle of them as the both grabbed it. Sharing their thoughts at such a rapid rate they literally became one. Dashing off at her with their combined speed the jumped up and began attacking her rapidly with the hammer. Bringing up her blade Crescence began to fend off the attack, and even she had to admit she was having a bit of trouble.
But this was no where near enough...
Reading them she dodged an attack she could tell they put a bit of weight behind she caught the upper hand for an instant, but that's all it took. Stabbing her blade into Chitiro she grabbed Anasta by the hair and threw he down to the earth. Then she spun the blade tearing up his insided. Then with a smirk she slid he blade out kicking him down to the ground. He bounced off the ground like a ragdoll, lifeless. Anasta could only look on in horror. Crawling to his side she grabbed his hand as he final bit of life left him. She cried out as she looked to Crescence holding Chitiro close.
Crescence walked up slowly as she redied her blade to end Anasta as well. But Anasta would not be meeting her lover so soon in the afterlife. Caym shot through the trees sliding in and engaging Crescence with Anaita's blade. Crescence easily blocked it, but that was expected. Anaita shot in from behind Caym and took to swings at Crescence's neck. Crescence was barely able to jump back fast enough to keep her head. The couple stood side by side. Anaita locked eyed with Crescence with a hatred not even Caym knew she possesed. Handing Caym one of his blades she took her normal stance. With Caym's sword this stance would hit harder, but be a fraction slower. And with Anaita's blade he had a faster option. This was the true fighting style that they never showed until now. And Crescence was about to taste it first hand.
"Are you ready?" said Caym spinning her sword around and holding it backwards. She gripped the blade tight never breaking her glare on Crescence. "Oh ya. I'm taking this b***h down." she responded. Crescence smirked as readied her blade. That's when something caught her eye. The forest behind the couple flickered. Even if for an instant it was there. Crescence took no chances. Forcing all the power she had into her blade she took her stance.
Caym and Anaita stepped foward together but Caym shot off into the forest vanishing in the dense trees. Anaita attakced with such a fierce speed that Crescence was purely on the defensive. Caym shot by for an instant slcing her legs. As Crescence crumpled back Anaita shot forward with a sharp thrust. Sliding into her abdomen she cut clean to the other side. Then angry she ripped the blade out as Caym came behind her stabbing both swords through her back and through her chest.
Crescence smiled.
Even in her awkward position she was able to smile. Kicking Anaita back she ripped out a blade from her back and spun slicing at Caym. It was so fast it caught his shoulder and dug in deep. His arm fell limp and Caym fell to a knee. Crescence ripped the other blade. Looking at it she knew it to be Anaita's. "You're going to fall to your lover's blade. How does it feel?" she asked. Caym smiled as he felt the sting of the cut to his shoulder. He wasn't healing at all. Suddenly the world seemed to twitch. Caym didn't know what it was but he defenitely felt it. But there were more important things to worry about at the moment. Not waiting she wanted him dead. Crescence sliced down with Anaita's blade. Cutting from Caym's shoulder down to his waist.
'Save him.' thought Caym. His final thought was for his family.
The tears wouldn't stop no matter how hard she tried. Anaita stood up gripping Caym's blade. Without him she had no choice, but to try and protect her child from Crescence. Running off towards the large tree she sensed her baby in she began focusing her light into him. Crescence tuned quickly reading this intense amount of power. Teleporting behind Anaita she stabbed her quickly nailing her into the tree and piercing her heart. She was able to get a lot of power into her child, but not as much as she wanted. She would have to pray that it was enough. Suddenly Anaita felt the world shake fiercely as she faded. 'This is how death must feel...' she thought as life left her rapidly.
Ripping the blade out she let Anaita fall down into the forest. Looking to the baby in the tree who was sound asleep she pulled her blade back ready to strike. Then she noticed something about the child. He was a clean slate. Not a hint of darkness to be found. This wasn't the corrupted child she envisioned. Perhaps it was the wish to be a true mother or a slight sense of regret, but she chose to spare the child. She would raise him as a fate, and have him watch the world in his mothers stead.
The End?

  Rewriting History
Time is a fickle thing. Often breaking at the slightest tampering. But for souls tortured by mistakes is it worth it to have a chance at happiness?
As the world rumbled the fabric of time and space collapsed opening paths throughout time to that moment. Slipping through three people who shouldn't be there made an entrance. "Over here!" yelled Kestrel slicing at Crescence from side. Thrown into a panic she released he blade and moved away from the man. "Signa what are you doing?!" she yelled as steadied herself in the air. Kestrel was beyond insulted. Pointing his blade at her he smirked. "That b*****d took my form? That's rich." answered Kestrel. In the corner of her eye she saw a boy removing her blade from Anaita as a girl slowly healed as it retracted. "You are going to be fine mom just hold on!" exclaimed Isandro as Rena continued to heal her.
"Mom?! What is this nonsense!?" shouted Crescence as she tried to stop them, but Signa cut her off with a slash of his sword. The assumed god was blow away by the speed of this man. Was there truly someone just as strong as her that she never met? And a girl capable of healing a wound from that blade? "Impossible!" she shouted reaching for her blade to bring it to her side. Luckily Rena was just finishing the healing process as the blade was torn from Isandro's grasp slicing his palm. Kestrel smirked as he reached out his hand, a clock ticking backwards rested in his palm. Focusing an intense amount of power into it time 'jumped'.
This time Crescence was standing over Caym. She had just cut into his shoulder and was about to land to killing blow. Crescence was consious of how time was being manipulated and acted swiftly trying to make sure Caym didn't make it this time. But just as before something stopped her. A whip-blade wrapped around her sword and tore it away. Celeste held the sword feeling the light within it. Vesperus stepped out from behind a tree calmly as he sighed. "Is this really me from the past? How unsightly." he said as he placed a hand on Caym's shoulder. feeding him an intense amount of darkness his would began to heal rapidly. Crescence lifted her palm ready to fire an intense amount of energy. She wanted them wiped from existence. "Not this time" said Celeste smiling as she held a clock in her hand and fed it light. Time jumped once again.
Crescence now looked at two warriors she swears she just killed. Her face showed complete horror. The flash that before was so minor was now a huge crack. "What the hell are you?!" she screamed. Caym and Anaita smiled. "Dont you know?...You made us didn't you?" they spoke alternatively. suddenly the crack spread and then exploded as four of the warriors she saw help Caym and Anaita came forth.
Now six warriors stood before her. Three warriors of darkness and three of light. Kestrel smirked at Crescence as he looked at her panicked face. "The guest of honor is on his way. We will play with you until then." said Kestrel dashing in with his blade pointed forward. Caym and Anaita ran past him with ease. Rena patted him on the back smiling. "Stop trying to be better than yourself idiot." she said before running ahead. Kestrel chuckled and pushed himself to catch up. Vesperus and Celeste flew up shortly after following the group.
Caym and Anaita stepped foward together but Caym shot off into the forest vanishing in the dense trees. Anaita attakced with such a fierce speed that Crescence was purely on the defensive. Caym shot by for an instant slcing her legs. As Crescence crumpled back Anaita shot forward with a sharp thrust. Sliding into her abdomen she cut clean to the other side. Then angry she ripped the blade out as Caym came behind her stabbing both swords through her back and through her chest. Crescence smiled as she kicked Anaita backwards, but Kestrel caught her as Rena rushed past. "This is...!" Crescence started to say as she recalled her fight.
"Pay attention Crescence!" yelled Rena as she slashed at a blinding speed with her katana. Then kicked Crescence in the chest with all her might. Behind her Caym powered up an intense amount of darkness into his arm and punched her so hard he felt her spine crack. Rena stapped to the side as Crescence flew to Vesperus and Celeste. Vesperus turned and took Celeste by the waist and brought her close in a fast pace tango. Taken from a time when the two were together they were more powerful than ever. The ground shook as the six arms of the World Eater shot up and grabbed Crescence and began to crush her. As Vesperus leaned over holding Celeste he kissed her. Reaching up Celeste opened her palms and formed enough light to rival the big bang. Firing it just as the hands released Crescence she blasted the god into the sky.
Crescence couldn't understand no matter how hard she tried. They had power that rivaled her own and technology they shouldn't be able to use. They played with time as if the understood it all. As if someone who had experienced every moment had taught them. Before her eyes Caym holding a familiar blade came down from the sky towards her, Rayner's blade, but this Caym was different. His right arm from the shoulder down was pure darkness none of it was flesh. his body however was cracked from the neck down with light.With anger that echoed across repeating generations Caym stabbed her in the chest and took her to another realm. One that he designed to seal her in forever.
A world with dark water as far as the eye could see, with a sky so bright that the sun couldn't dare compare. Crescence found herself floating on this watery darkness. Standing up she quickly found her balance on the water as the man from before stared her down. Still gripping the same sword her husband used to use. "Neither of us belong in that world. So we are going to fight here." he said as Crescence's sword formed in his hand. throwing it to her he waited for her to pick it up. Then rushing in he clashed with her . Crescence was barely able to stay standing even though she blocked the hit. "What are you?!" she choked out.
"The phantom you hide from. All of your mistakes and fears. The retribution for all the things you have done..." he said as his left arm erupted into flames. His face covered itself in darkness. "I have forged myself in the pain everyone you have met has felt. So that I can become what truly encompasses this universe. I hid myself across the universe right under your nose."
Swinging his blade he sent her skipping across the noir waves that the world was made of. "Mephisto, my catalyst did his job absorbing the memories of Caym and Anaita's decendants. I understand now that I shouldn't have spared you so long ago..." he said. Crescence looked at the man she though was Caym as a tear fell down her face.
"Rayner..." she said as she dropped her blade and wept.
"Pick it up!" he shouted started walking towards her. "Was this worth it? This is the solution to your years of scheming and planning. This is what it all adds up to."
She grabbed the blade in her hand and raised it. Growling Rayner slapped it to the side and it sunk into the depths of darkness. "Pathetic." said Rayner. "You put them through so much. For so long. Just so you could sit up on a pedestal. I'm going to cleanse you of this."
Turning to where the blade sunk into the water Rayner prepared his stance. Out from the water a man rose. Dark power laced with sin erupting from him. He shown the appearance of Kestrel as well as everyone with deep hatred for her. "Your going to face this. And then we will change history for them. It is the least you can do." said Rayner reaching his hand out to his wife. Crescence took his hand wiping her tears and standing up. As soon as she was on her own two feet Rayner faded to join the figure of darkness.
Until now the man had been focusing his power. "Crescence...!" he shouted as he lifted his hand. Weapons from every decendant of Cayn and Anaita rose from the dark and lowered from the heavens. Then an angel of light decended and wrapped her arms around the mans neck. She gave a laugh that sounded like a song. Suddenly Cresence felt their pressence. The dark man was everywhere the angel wasn't and vice -versa. But everything was perfect. Even though she was scared out of her mind she saw the perfection of it all.
The man walked towards her, but the distance was closed in the blink of an eye. The man stabbed her with a simple knife. Crescence grabbed his arm in response. He smirked and they sunk into the darkness. Weapons attacked her as soon as they entered the murky depths. Holding Fang of the World Eater in one hand and Sonnelion in the other he sliced her back and forth before knocking her into the sky. The angel surrounded her with light spears as mirrors surrounded her and refelcted and image of her. As the Crescence looked at her reflections they all flew from their mirrors and went into her before exploding inside her very soul.
Crescence was unable to move or react to the power of these two beings. She was being hit but no wounds were visible. It was her very soul that was being attacked. As the being the represented all their was it was the very universe that was being undone. "Do you understand?" asked the two at the same time. Crescence nodded too weak to speak.
The two figures held clocks as they looked to each other. One of darkness and one of light. Forcing an immeasurable amount of power into them they went back. Far back to the time right before Crescence claimed Rayner's life.
Holding the blade in her hands she began to cry as she looked at Rayner who simply stood there smiling. "Did you enjoy your trip love?" he said. Tears flowed as she ran to him dropping the blade and embracing him. He was the Rayner she remembered not the one tortured by years of hate. After all this time he still gave her this chance. Thousands of lifetimes of experience, but all just a lesson.
"We still have work to do. It all starts again now. We owe it to each of them to let them live life," said Rayner not letting go of Rayner. He wrapped his arms around her and smile. "I know." she responded simply just relieved to have a chance.
So the two gods created for each descendant that would have been their own world. Each world would equally balanced of light and dark, but free of direction or order. Simply left to grow.
"Hey Kestrel your girl actually came to see you play!" said the drummer for his band. He had been spying to see how many people from school actually came to see them play. Kestrel smiled as he looked down at an old watched that always ticked backwards. "She always did man." Kestrel said as the curtains opened and the band began to play. Rena sat at the same place she always did, and he played the song he wrote for her.
"Awe come one let me play the song for them! I swear I'll stick to the original!" begged Vesperus. Celeste finally broke. "Fine! Jeez is it so hard to admit someone can play piano just as good as you though? Its just the wedding song for light's sake." she shouted. Aithorn and Amore came around the corner laughing. "Wouldn't it be nice if we got to chose our own wedding plans?" asked Aithorn. Celeste glared him down before turning back Vesperus to continue her assault. Amore gave his hand a squeeze and laughed. "Let her have her wedding she's like the mother in law." said Amore looking up at him. Aithorn sighed as they left Vesperus and Aithorn to their arguing. The wedding would be interesting indeed.
Eight year old Isandro walked into the living room as he heard the cry of his younger sister through the house. Caym was holding her, but he just didn't have the talent Anaita had. "Don't worry hun, I'm sure she'll be daddies little girl when she's older." she said tilting her head and laughing as he daughter was returned to her. "I'm sure..." Caym said Sarcasticly as he chuckled a little. "Bout time you came down!" said Caym to Isandro. Isandro looked at his little sister in wonder as he headed over. "This is your little sister. Your going to have to protect her ok?" said Anaita sweetly. Isandro lit up with a smile and nodded. Caym looked at Anaita with a smile. "I'm sure he will do just fine."
Sitting in the forest where a battle once took place a long time from then Chitiro and Anaita looked up at the biggest tree. They had their true forms and were enjoying the moment holding hands. They had all of eternity to be with each other. Since they were beings capable of creating worlds the same as Crescence and Rayner they had to keep themselves from interfering in the worlds course. But they still enjoyed looking in on the worlds from time to time. Kestrel and Rena living in their world before they were told they had powers. Vesperus and Celeste were given their marriage back. Years of war and other events were wiped from their history. And Caym and Anaita were free to have the family they always dreamed of. Isandro would have his childhood that he always deserved with his mother and father, Everyone was allowed to keep their memories from the battle with Crescence. With all they went through they deserved to know that they overcame fate and won.
The monstrosities that were created by Crescence never saw the light of day, and were also wiped from history. Rayner sealed the worlds with Crescence by his side. From those moments on they would be left to their own decisions. And life would be exactly what they made of it. For better or worse Rayner and Crescence would let history take its course. and time would go on.
The End
