Major Event; Tiamat

The winds of the Avisora Paradisia, which were once docile and serene, would suddenly come to a stir. This would seem to be nothing but the shifting of the currents, yet the powerful winds blew the clouds in the completely opposite directions, bringing with them the orbit of each of the hovering islands in the sky. The swirling seemed to nearly be that of a cyclone forming.

From the reversed winds and thickening clouds came the enormous horned head of a beautiful woman. Her eyes were easily enough to watch over the largest of the floating islands with ease. The rest of her body, as supple and gorgeous as any fine woman, lay naked on the plush clouds like a bed, until reaching the 'tail,' which became like that of a grand serpent; Tiamat, in all her rare form. It was unclear just how long her body below her womanly form was, as it was hidden by the thickness of the clouds. She puckered her lips as if kissing the air, swirling around casually and bringing all the currents of the wind, and thus, also, the floating islands, with her.

~At the next moment, Ty would also be able to see where every single head of Orochi was located at the time through his Third Eye, and at those marks, he would swing his arm to dice each of the spots where Orochi's heads connected to the main body with the ethereal energy of the blade projected into each of those locations, since the energy that he was able to omit from the 'King Blade' was able to reach anywhere within his established Presence. This would appear to be him slashing wildly at Orochi whilst his Commanding head was moving, but this was actually to hack at the other 7 the very moment they revealed themselves in the Veritas' reality. Not only would a connected slash sever their ties to the Veritas and isolate their realities as only individual heads, but also this would also sever their connection to their tails.~

Quote :

The image of the 'Prayer Beads' surrounding the Greenhouse area would 'Project' itself around Tao's neck, thus binding Tiamat at the same time with the power of the presence of this land and the Master of the Presence, itself.

Through the synchronization of each of the Shinsangels and the Shinsanities, the subduing Prayer Beads that were once only on Tao and Tia's necks would be projected also around the necks of the severed dragon heads of Orochi, preventing them from being able to grow back, as well as establishing a set dominant influence belonging to the Tensei that would prevent Orochi's regeneration without first overpowering the binding forces of the sentient beings fighting against his presence within the Veritas. Though he was assimilated with the Veritas, the realm was fighting back against him, and therefore gave him a power struggle in addition to Ty's Presence as a while that were the individual wills and consciousness of the 7 Shinsangels that protected the Veritas. Thus, in order to overcome the Veritas, or even have any sort of control over any part of the Veritas, as well as the ability to regenerate any of the lost heads, Orochi would have to overcome all 7 of the Shinsangels.

Quote :

~Each tail was slung at a high speed toward the respective targets, which were the 7 headless nubs of Orochi and where the dragon spawn were probably still wriggling about. Each spiritual hurricane was cast down upon the Veritas like a paintbrush upon paper, where the true artwork could be colored in fine detail by each tail working in tandem to create a greater story, now, and not working against each other individually. Through harmonizing with Orochi, the tactics of how each head and tail worked in harmony would be applied immediately to the 7 Shinsangels, as well. From there, through that connection, Tiamat would be able to paint each of the heads of the Veritas upon the headless nubs from where the Prayer Beads connected and assume complete control of the hijacked body, as well as each of its tails.~

"Thanks, Tia~!" Tao screamed out to her Tensei Spirit, which was the Kyuubi (Nine Tailed Fox) that was designated to watch over her for 2,000 years. As the Spirit of the Wind, it was the very air itself and was the atmosphere of the Veritas, and therefore freely altered it as was seen fit. "AWRIGHT, now I've got 7 whole tails that can just do whatever the fuck they wanna do..." Tao would say as she wriggled each of them about, and each of the other Tensei got into motion. "And they work, too... So that means..."

~Realizing the amount of power she had over the entire Veritas simply by herself, Tao felt, for some reason, a sense of responsibility to take her duties as a Priestess seriously and finally responsibly take care of these exorcisms correctly came over her. She understood her role as a Priestess, as well as why she failed at driving this curse away for 2,000 years. "... Tao has been a bad Priestess... Nyaa..." She sniffled a bit, suddenly feeling remorse for having put so many people through generations of torment at her expense, especially as a rampaging demon, including to her family. "Tao was not prepared at 18, as was promised... But... Tao is ready now..." She did not understand what it meant to be a Priestess before, and was very swiftly swallowed whole by the very powerful fox spirit that tormented her family that sacrificed her to it. She suddenly remembered that they had no choice but to give her up, and even now, she was prolonging a curse that had been going on for far too long. Therefore, in order to completely break the curse of the nine tails, she would take her place in life as the Priestess she was supposed to be and paint delicately with each of the tails as thought they were calligraphy brushes. "... Tao must have control, too..." She crouched over onto all fours, maintaining balance, then lifted her hind legs up into the air, as if ready to pounce. At that moment, each of the essences of the 7 Tensei, including herself, which were within each of her tails, would be able to be used to her will. Each tail brushed upon each land of the Veritas and spread upon the canvas one of the chosen guardians to protect the land from danger. The enormous tornadoes serving as her tails would suddenly stop swirling and disappear in the wind suddenly becoming calm, and immediately afterward, Tao, herself, vanishing.


Tao took control of all of her 7 Tails at the exact same time and linked together each and every one of the 7 Shinsangels and 7 Shinsanities through the body of Orochi, and then immediately fought back against Orochi's power as well as prevented him from having any form of control or eligibility to establish or regain control over his pilfered body and tails. "Now that just leaves the head, right Tia?!" The head of Tiamat, though it belonged to the dragon, was a title that Tia, Tao's Spirit, had named for herself at the time before the true physical flesh of 'Tiamat' appeared. Therefore, 'Tia' was the 'Spirit of Tiamat' whilst 'Tiamat' herself was the actual Original Being that Tao had embodied the spirit of, and now faced in terms of the actual body. Tao, already having the Spirit of Tiamat inside of her, would be able to actually fight the dragon herself now for control of the body, title and authority over all that Tiamat was as Dragon Queen. "Tao is gonna make a 'Wind Goddess' worthy story this time!!!" She was also going to have to paint over her old work, since it wasn't very good, in her eyes. It was fortune of being a Scribe, like her twin was the Narrator.

*Note: Because the Tensei are also writing the story, some of them have special specific powers to influence the actual story itself.

The severed head, wailing at the pain of being cut from the original body, would simply take off into the sky with its long neck becoming its tail. She took the form of an enormous wyvern, with her arms serving as the dragon's talons, and large leathery wings spread wide upon her velvet smooth back to help her glide. Tiamat's upper torso, all of which was like that of a beautiful and enticing woman, would disappear into the thick of the clouds, her tail slithering silently into the smokescreen.

"WHHHHHHere are YOU going?!" the wind called out, trailing the tail and parting the smokescreen of cloud before the wyvern woman could slip off. When Tiamat's body was revealed, her spirit, which was already part of Tia, who was already part of Orochi's original body, would sprout a new head from where the Prayer Beads were, which were only restricting Orochi's power and not the Tensei's once they commandeered the body. The head was one with the very atmosphere, and in the direct line of sight as Tiamat, disembodied, ferocious eyes and a wide, feral smile would appear in the air, with the teeth gnashing closed threateningly. "We haven't even had any fun yet..." the disembodied face growled, as if both with anticipation and restraint, "You didn't think I was done playing just because I stopped talking, did you...!?" The voice in the wind rang like a series of bells going off harmoniously, as if laughing in unison "How Naive~!!" The feral face remained tense and savage, looking as though it were hungry... thirsty... and perhaps, even a little anxious.

Tiamat, feeling insulted by the snide remarks of the presence in the wind around her, would begin to gather chaotic power within herself in her rage. "Foolish Entity! Both Chaos And Creation Bow To My Whim!" With raw chaos, Tiamat would emanate a powerful destructive force that would wipe away any form of order in her area that was not her own. The clouds would be stripped from their place and replaced with utter destructive energy, whilst also the very atmosphere would become distorted and grotesque, looking as though it were about to fold in on itself and shatter any minute. This should have been painful to an atmospheric being, who was one with the very atmosphere and Tiamat would be destroying. "Who Do You Think You Are? Defiling The Dragon Queen!?" With a single flap of her wings, each of the floating islands under her should have been knocked out of place, and possibly destroyed by the massive distortions of pure chaos disrupting their orderly existences, threatening to crush them completely.

"FOOLISH ENTITY!!!" a voice rang and repeated as an echo like the sound of a chorus of golden bells in the wind, "I AM YOU!!!" The chaotic energy coming from Tiamat's body would immediately be met with counter discord, of which, instead of combining with the original discord as most normal elements would do when faced with their same element, would begin to destroy the discord with alternate discord. Chaos was so chaotic that it had the power to bring destruction to even itself, having no sort of order to agree with its own existence. Inevitably, if the Chaos was not all unified, it eventually destroyed itself and resolved itself, becoming Order. In this case, it was about whose discord was greater.

"GODDESS Of Discord," the voice spake out decisively, the shrieking cry of which held enough power to ultimately halt or destroy Tiamat's chaotic energy from spreading behind her own personal space. Discord grew heavy in the air, and the skies would become inverted; all that was light would become dark, and all that was dark would become light. This inverted the coloration and shading of the entire atmosphere where Tiamat was present. "And both a MUSE and a SCRIBE!" Seven lofty fox tails, like those of calligraphy brush tips, manifested around Tiamat, asserting the 'Power of Creation' over her in tandem with the 'Power of Chaos' that they both shared. The distorted face in the wind never stopped smiling, even as its voice reverberated through the air over and over. "What hope do you have without your body? It belongs to ME now!!" No matter where Tiamat went, Tia was able to see with the eyes of a larger body lurking over the entirety of the Veritas rather than just one land, as well as remained as an entity connected to the Veritas. There was no escape and no winning for Tiamat... But of course, the fun of the chase.

"AND SO WILL YOUR HEAD!!!" With the flap of Tiamat's wings, the atmosphere suddenly parted, as if a deity were opening its mouth, and a powerful vacuous force would extend around Tiamat's length as a giant swirling black tornado, as the voice cried out "NIGHT IN GALE!" The parting in the atmosphere drew in all of the chaotic force into a funnel, no longer securing the air in place as it was, which led to a vortex of complete and utter chaos invoked by Tia, herself. All of Tia's chaos would combat against Tiamat's chaos, which would either end in both being destroyed or one giving in over the other. With Tiamat in a gigantic tornado of pure concentrated discord, it would disrupt and distort everything around her until it inevitably was destroyed. "RUN FROM ME!!!"

"Huh! Why Would I Claim Something Like You? Get Away!" Tiamat loftily swirled her body in the opposite direction, creating this time instead of discord, her own atmosphere that was isolated from the Veritas', even if existing in the same space. Since this Discord was only meant to destroy Tiamat's Chaos, with a firm enough Creation, then the established atmosphere should have been completely unharmed. Tiamat would bring order to the rampaging discord that was around her and claim it as her own. This would put an end to the effects of the tornado. "I Do Not Run From Peasants..." She flicked her tail snootily and cast a vortex of Creation powerful enough to cancel out the Discord of Tia over the entire tornado, which should have caused both to be destroyed whilst Tiamat's own atmospheric isolation all her own remained both in the Veritas' perimeter, yet outside of the Veritas' control.

Though Tiamat claimed that she did not run, the fact that she was in an alternate atmosphere was just the same as running in the eyes of Tia, who could clearly tell that the air around them was not the same. It thereby became a target for the entire atmosphere of the Veritas, which would always know exactly what its own territory felt like. "Hahaha... Silly girl, don't even know when you've lost." Since Tiamat's isolated atmosphere was not of the Veritas, that meant that it could be expelled from the Veritas without any form of waste. In took only a few strokes of each disembodied tail around Tiamat's space to blot her out of the Veritas and keep her from returning, like filling the crack inside of brick with mortar. Dungeons, traps, puzzles, monsters, planets and all such other things were confined now in that one space, and the tails would continue to paint. Tiamat would be lost in a parallel universe made by the Veritas with all such complete intent on destroying her if she turned against it or tried to add onto it, so she was pretty much a prisoner to be used as the Veritas saw fit.

"YOU GET AWAY!!!" The blaring sound of the shriek was like that of a siren, yet brought forth an intense pressure that would keep Tiamat's atmosphere from encroaching or returning into the perimeter of the Veritas, whilst Tia looked on from the other end. "Oh, wait... You already DID." After that, the very words of Tiamat, which would be echoed eternally by the wind the very moment Tiamat attempted to enter the atmosphere, would resound through a cacophony of contemptuous and haughty laughter. "Why Would I Claim Something Like You?" it said, taunting Tiamat to attempt to enter a realm she'd already, as a Creator, banished herself from with her words alone. "Why Would I Claim Something Like You?" it said again, laughing, boasting and antagonizing. Tia's face could be seen in the distortions of the atmosphere, dying of laughter, and repeating herself endlessly at Tiamat's foolish words. "Why Would I Claim Something Like You?" Because the entire space around Tiamat's atmosphere was painted over by Tia's tails, not only was she still trapped, but all of the energy she had to use to attempt to expand her area at that point or create anymore was confined to a finite area that was dictated by the Veritas, which she had already claimed she had no part of. "Why Would I Claim Something Like You?" It was the worst mistake; to come to a land you were seeking to conquer and then decide, of your own words, to exclude yourself from it.

"Why Would I Claim Something Like You?" Tia thought, at this point, that Tiamat could be used to train Tao... And resolve that mess with her story originally. That was always a thought. But right now, to continuously haunt this dragon for her haughtiness was on the list of 'Fun' things to do. "Why Would I Claim Something Like You?" Tia smiled with anticipation for more. She loved when she got the chance to make a foolish person look more foolish, and at that, to intensify it to the point of eternal recognition, and possible shame, for their mistakes.


Tia's tails were already hard at work fabricating a whole new isolated reality as an extension of Tiamat's own isolated space, of which if Tiamat tried to expand upon or exit from, she would be met with the HIGHEST form of resistance from every single creation that every single tail had made, as well as Tia, herself, sitting on the outside of this isolated space, inside of the Veritas, laughing maniacally.


Technically, Tiamat was defeated, and to go any farther from here was just for fun.

"Hm... What?!" Tiamat, in her own space, would suddenly notice that beyond her atmosphere, there were things going on in the Veritas to attempt to close her in. "I've Lost NOTHING!!" She cried, her face darkening and her composure immediately being lost. Pure chaos overtook Tiamat, and through all of the creation that Tia was creating, the Dragon would hurl herself into, completely destroying anything that was in her way, including her own original isolated space. The more Tiamat destroyed, the more powerful she would become, and with layers upon layers of Creation by Tia to destroy, by the time she exited, Tiamat should have been able to take down the entire planet and any satellites on her own with the power of chaos alone. Anything that stood in her way whilst she was pure Chaos would fall into Chaos and either become under her command or destroyed by it. All Order would fall into Chaos around her and the extent of her energy. Boundaries were broken. Dungeons smashed. Assaults failed. Planets destroyed. Even the elements, nor the universe itself could hope to stop her rampage. All would be brought into absolute chaos.

Tiamat's tail would knock the cosmos out of place with a single swipe, causing the Created space to become feeble and weak, making it easier to destroy. With her claws, she would rend the fabric of space and time from off the tapestry of creation and rip them to shreds like a schoolgirl with a poster of her boyfriend on the wall after a breakup. The screeches from her mouth would shatter atmospheres and whatever layers there were. All Tia had done was given Tiamat free roam to gather her destructive energies by doing what she did best; destroy things for more power. Tiamat was growing stronger, and it was because this foolish Tia thought it best to attempt to contain her. Now, when Tiamat broke free of the confinement, she would be free to wreak the same havoc she had done to what was trapped within this isolated space to the Veritas... Tia, specifically.

Tia continued her nearly childish laughter and mischievous taunting until she felt the energy of Tiamat shift suddenly. "Hm? Struggle?" Tia's savage smirk widened, her eyes becoming fierce and sharp, like her teeth. "Eeeexcellent..." Whenever a prisoner struggled, it meant one of two things; torture or death. Tia's face disappeared suddenly, but in the midst of Tiamat's destruction of the isolated space(s) created by the tails, the face would appear out of nowhere, screaming with the highest frequency of discord, "IT WAS ALL FAKE!!! HAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!" Everything would suddenly crack and shatter to pieces, taking everything inside of it, including Tiamat, with it. The discord would become so great, it destroyed itself, unable to even maintain its own existence any longer, and eventually be resolved as Natural Order within the Veritas once again, as it had been before Tiamat appeared and before Tia messed with it. With Tiamat having no claims to the Veritas, and the Veritas already having expelled her and her ties to it, once the isolated realities were gone... So was Tiamat. Without question. "So foolish..." Tia scoffed snobbishly, the savage smile still on her face, "Pay Attention Next Time!!!" She went about her day laughing crazily in triumph, pondering whether she'd bring back Tiamat for Tao. "HAAAAAHAHAHAHAA!!!!"

The smell of lavender would fill the air, a persisting sweet yet feral scent that both calmed and perpetuated primal emotions. From above the atmosphere, much higher than where the previous battle had currently taken place, a crack in the space time barrier would expand into a multi-dimensional black hole. The power of the anomaly seemed controlled, however, as the only things being sucked towards it would be multiple stars about. One by one the burning lights would line themselves in front of the black hole, forming what appeared to be stairs of light.

From the storm itself would emerge what appeared as a woman. Her pale skin was contrasted by her hair that blended in with the space around her, the stars shining within and all. She wore a kimono that matched her hair, the galaxies on the dress moving with as much elegance as the woman herself exuded.

"My, my, what a beautiful reality my dear husband has picked for our vacation. I can taste the aftermath of a violently beautiful struggle already." Her kimono arms covered her arms and her arms covered her mouth as she spoke. One could only guess a beautiful smile was behind the cloth, yet something a bit sinister as well.

Descending upon the stair of stars, her kimono and hair would began to mirror the atmosphere she entered, going from dazzling black with lights to the dusky blue shade of the sky they were in. The tips of her hair burned with the light of the sun as it was behind her. Once the stars reached their limit and refused to pierce the atmosphere of the Earth, Hinata stepped onto the air itself.

Emerging from the same anomaly as her mother, a girl seeming to only be about 11 or 12 years old walked down with a neutral gait. She had an aura of shyness about her, yet even her own shyness seemed second to her uncaring, albeit somewhat charming gaze. Her black dress was fashioned as gothic lolita; fitting for the loli girl herself.

She skirted after her mother as quickly as she could, standing slightly behind her while hugging herself. Her eyes shined as they took in the new reality they had entered. She could see most of the world, though there were areas that seemed hidden even from her all seeing eyes. There were people far greater than herself in that realm. A shiver went down her spine whilst a tiny, minuscule smirk graced her lips.

At the very breath of another being in the atmosphere, the atmosphere itself would suddenly shift to a steady calm, before a passing breeze would come to greet the two visitors. "Welcome to the Veritas," it said with a very sweet, elegant chime, like that of a ringing bell. Only moments later would a woman matching this graceful and elegant voice fade from what looked to be the background of the atmosphere into the foreground, harboring a traditional Chinese gown with sleeves long enough to cover her arms. Her hands would be slipped into either arm opposite the first, and they would come together before her gracefully as the tail-end of her ornate garb, which was a deep royal purple and embroidered with fine gold, would sift off into the background from whence this woman came. Her hair was long and green, yet also transparent, as though a condensation of the wind itself, and sifted also into the background of the atmosphere just as the woman's dress was. Her eyes were closed and her lips, which were a striking green similar in color to her hair, would part softly for a welcoming smile. "May the Wind guide you, travelers." The woman floated before the two of them, waiting to see how she may be of assistance.

Hinata's arms continued to drift lazily before her face, leaving nothing showing but her eyes that were reflecting galaxies. The appearance of the small one before her was a pleasant surprise. "Maa, even the atmosphere itself wishes us welcome. Truly this Veritas is a place of elegance and pleasure." Hinata would remove her arm from her face and insert both hands into the sleeves of the other. She bowed deeply to Tia, her hair and dress blending together around her.

"I accept the wind as my companion." Returning to her upright position, her arm found its way before her mouth and nose yet again, her eyes lidded, giving her the look of eternally smiling behind her makeshift cowl. "I humbly ask your insight on the reality we have encroached upon. My name is Hinata and this is one of my daughters, Nia. My husband is a friend of yours...or perhaps, a friend of Khrona."

The smaller of the two hid behind her mother akin to a child much smaller than herself. However, when her mother bowed, she stood beside her and did the same. "Onegaishimasu." She spoke when her mother finished and hastily moved back behind her.

The floating woman garbed in the Chinese dress would bow courteously as well, listening deeply and not opening her eyes. "I am Tia, the very Wind itself. I am all that is Wind in the Veritas." As simple an explanation as it was, Tia's very being was actually quite complex and layered, like the atmospheres, themselves. She simply would not speak much of herself nor make too much note of her own qualities, and instead only focus on those of the newcomers after their entrance. "It isn't everyday that we have those of such power enough to even speak to beings like me," she would say, "Not to mention that even know about our Father." Khrona, as they knew him, had many names and many forms, and 'Khrona' was more so a name of familiarity than anything. The fact that anyone would call upon that name was already testament to the fact of companionship, or at least personal and deeper knowledge. That was highly respected here. "On behalf of the entire Veritas, welcome. I shall inform you of this land."

"Where you have stepped forth is the Avisora Paradisia, the Sky Realm. It is the Land of Wind. Here, there are nothing but floating islands that make up the congregation of this land and resting on the many different atmospheres of the Veritas. Many ethereal, celestial or airborne beings make their homes in the Avisora Paradisia, and I, Tia, keep them all sustained and suspended in their respective atmospheric layers. In the higher layers are beings that are more divine and celestial, and in the lower layers are those that are more bird-like." Tia would hover alongside Hinata and Nia as they would descend from where they'd come, keeping to them as a humble escort. "Due to the nature of the landscape, those without special abilities to fly or warp find it difficult to travel, but there are many paths of wind made by me to help even them to move about." The Veritas had a very intricate and complex design which needed deeper explanation to understand the finer workings, which was what each elemental guardian of each realm was for. "The Empyrean Isles, which are the ones residing higher up, also work as lifts for each realm, as they are known to descend upon the actual land masses of the Veritas. From there, those that walk the land may enter the Avisora Paradisia by having the Empyrean Isles that have landed be lifted up into the Sky Realm again." This was only a little tidbit, but likely enough of a synopsis about this land, specifically.

The woman closed her eyes and smiled, giving her full attention to the being before her. As she explained the workings of the Avisora Paradisia, Hinata looked about mentally, seeing the inhabitants of the floating isles as they went about their day to day lives.

Moving as if the wind herself, the beautiful woman moved a strand of hair behind her ear before gazing upon Tia. "It seems I've stumbled upon a sanctuary of sorts. With such a charming guardian no less."

She giggled. "Arigatou. I place myself and my daughter in your care for the time being." Hinata unspokenly gave Tia the go ahead to lead them where she pleased.

Tia bowed to Hinata after gracing her with such privilege, "An honor, Lady Hinata." This woman treated Tia respectfully, even though Tia was acting on the part of an escort right now, and therefore, Tia was more than willing to guide she and her daughter about the Avisora Paradisia. "Come, right this way." Tia twisted her body about and suddenly spiraled out of physical form and into the shape of a funneling twister, which would lead Hinata and Nia to the next area of Tia's specification within the Avisora Paradisia.
