"AAAAAAAAAAAA--STOP!!"

[...He cannot hear you.]

Zelda flinched. She'd been in the middle of catching her breath after screaming her heart out when a spectral voice answered her cries. She'd known well by now that she was yelling into the void, but then... who was answering her? It wasn't Schezo. It wasn't any of these kids. The realization suddenly came to Zelda.

...Schezo wasn't entirely in control of himself either.

The reason she couldn't control this illusory body was because a third power was wrestling it away from her. Zelda cringed rather sharply as Schezo moved to cut down the two children who reproached him before moving to train them of their magic. Was it right to feel grateful that he put them out of their misery, rather than leaving them to bleed out on the ground? ...No. No. That was a sick and twisted form of justice. This wasn't done for the sake of mercy. The way they rotted away alive was far from painless, and a much quicker death could have been accomplished with that strange, glassy sword of his.

((Schezo moves to fell the two children with his blade and drain their mana, as he did Arle!))

[This boy was born damned. His very name is a testament to what he shall become. The seeds of darkness have already been planted in his soul long ago. They have bloomed a beautiful, dark black. You cannot fight his destiny, and you would be foolish... to try.]

Zelda could observe what appeared to be a dark mist rippling within Schezo's transluscent blade. It was a very strange sword. Could that be related to this voice?

And before they could even speak the first word of there spell, The words were stuck in there throat as they were cleaved immediately, Bodies rotting instantly into a similar mulch upon the ground as Arle did. There faces of terror wouldnt last long-- They simply couldnt, at the rate of which they were felled. Schezo's lack of self-control would cause all other students to begin fleeing, Casting what little magic they could to ignite the ground behind them, or create little 0bstacles to prevent Schezo from hunting them down, as soon, the School's door would be pushed open, as a panicked, older woman would scream.

"Stop!" She would scream, Suddenly forming a great deal of Mana around her, And casting a much more powerful magic! "Ice Storm!" She would cast, Firing off an array of Ice-spikes from the skies above, To try and rain down upon schezo to stop him!

Ice Storm! Schezo, Roll a 14 in Dex to avoid, or take 19% Damage, and a 50% Freeze Chance!

Crack! A translucent wall of magic was summoned to block the teacher's attack. It cracked and then shattered, but not before stopping the icy bolt in its tracks, dissipating off to the side as Schezo brushed the magical shield away. "...You must be the teacher." Schezo observed out loud. He then raised his sword to the air. "Sting Shade!" he incanted, a series of blasts of dark magic shooting out of his blade, racing toward the teacher like arrowheads!

50xjoa3Mp_1d20+4 (Schezo's Sting Shade; Does 18% Damage)

Forcing her to move out of the way and commit to that movement, Schezo conjured another spell with his free hand! "Razorblade TYPHOON!" Schezo incanted, two extremely fast moving chakrams of rushing water racing out to impact the teacher and knock her down,  bruising her several times with their high-speed impact! 

p_1d20+6 (Schezo's Razorblade Typhoon; Does 16% Damage)

Schezo then approached the fallen woman, leveling his sword down at her such that if she attempted to get up, she'd rise right into it. He stared at her for a moment. "...Your instincts have betrayed you, and now you will be mine. ...Why is it that the teachers who are supposed to guide us always fail us?" Schezo remarked, a hint of frustration in his voice. Without further ado, he moved to execute the old woman with two sweeps of his blade.

...Zelda flinched rather hard with each swing. "...I'm sorry." she murmured, not that anyone could hear her. ...And yet, Schezo didn't seem to care very much that the children had gotten away. He was just ... killing mages indiscriminately. She hadn't noticed any real acknowledgment of the context of what Schezo was doing. Schezo had cut down women and children without even a hint of acknowledgment for the lack of chivalry he was practicing. But why?

These children had been people's sons and daughters. ...Just as he had once been. Why should he concern himself with who he needed to kill?

A Total Massacre...Thats what this entire event was. A Total, Bloody massacre, as the Teacher was simply left to fend for herself, screaming in terror and agony as razor bladed winds tore her apart, and the Two swings of Schezo's blade had finally allowed her the release of Death. Though, in a strange way, her sacrifice worked, as There remained no more life surrounding schezo, even the village close by  had begun mass evacuation, as screams of terror from the Soul Eating Man could be heard from far away, as Schezo was left to himself, surrounded by puddles of his victims as they melted away, Magical power flowing into him from his blade. 

There was a Flicker...A Light inside of Schezo, which gently begged for life, before the evil force taking him over suddenly snuffed it, Corrupting the very soul of the Spirit. 

Arle was no more. An innocent girl, Taken away. It was all lost inside of a haze of magic. And for Schezo, Her very soul was turned into Magic for him to use...

Schezo has obtained the following Spell as a Special Attack;

Rubicute: Arle's soul is gone, With no heaven or hell to turn to. It its place, a Corruption of her very spirit.  Select a move and tap it, incurring its Damage onto yourself, Cooldowns and any secondary effects it has, including negative effects. Gain a Rubicute Buff that you can Tap in order to increase the damage of any attack, By an amount Equal to the previous attacks damage, Plus your WIS Modifier. Then, Increase the Rubicute's Damage by xd5 (x Being for every 5% Damage the attack dealt to Schezo). Then, Heal for xd5% Health, X Being for every 5% Damage the Rubicute Orb possesses currently. Can only be given to Schezo. Take 5% Recoil, 2 Turn cooldown. Rubicute Orbs do *not* Carry over between events.

....

The Smell of Incense was gone, And in its place...The Smell of Tea. Before Zelda was a large, Steaming cup of Tea, As The Dealer poured himself a cup as well. "...Take as much time as you need." The Dealer simply said, his Tea Pot filled with a mix of many tea leaves. "This tea is made to calm nerves...And i believe you need it, after that." The Dealer would simply say, Looking at Zelda's Ace Card, and how it sat at her side, now accompanied by a Red Token, with a visage of a suffering soul.

"...Take Comfort to know that, In this game, No real lives are harmed...The girl lives a very, very happy life, and still lives it to this day..I can only grant you control of the physical form of your Ace. The Spiritual side, i can not control, im afraid..." The Dealer would say, looking down at his tea.

"Take as long as you need before your next move. Go outside and get some fresh air...Take a few days, if you need. The Game will wait for you...So long as you dont surrender it yet. This fate will only become more harrowing as time goes. But it is the fate we weave."

[Mari]

Zelda was mostly suppressed into silence until she heard a familiar voice. ...Huh? Was that girl--... "I'll fight for you..." Zelda softly replied.

...

And then she was back in the real world. Zelda's cheeks were stained with tears, and she seemed rather shaken. As she regained control of her body, she had to fight off the urge to end herself by reminding herself that she wasn't being forced to act as a monster anymore. It was hard to quell that panic, but after a few moments she managed to calm herself down. She was... free now. She could go home. Someone who loved her was waiting for her. For a long moment she just sat there quietly as she mentally picked up the broken pieces of her composure and started piecing it back together like a shattered mirror. It would never look quite as good as it did before, but it could at least still function. After a long moment, Zelda would take the tea and try to enjoy that. A part of her wanted to leave, ...but she knew what was waiting for her in her dreams tonight. If she came back tomorrow, she'd come back unrested and ill. "...I'll be right back." Zelda softly replied, short for words.

She exited the tent, taking a good long moment to ground herself back in reality. When she returned, she was looking a bit less overwhelmed. She sat back down, taking a deep breath and collecting her thoughts. "...What is the difference between the world we live in and a perfect recreation of our world? ...Can we ever truly know what is real, or can we only observe what is real to us?" Zelda asked. Did the existence of that girl in their world imply that her suffering in this 'fake' world didn't actually happen? Or was it merely a matter of perspective? What made suffering valid? "...I'd like to try and continue, if not for the hope that I might eventually find a way to take control of this wizard and change his path." Zelda explained. "...It also wouldn't be easy for me to go home without closure." she added. She wondered if perhaps there was any way to save that poor girl or her classmates. It felt implausible, but who was to say what was possible in this strange world?

((Zelda moves down and left one card, to the middle left!))

The Dealer would nod, allowing Zelda to leave his cart. As she emerged outside, she would see that not a moment has passed since she entered, despite all that had occurred inside...Seems the Dealer was not kidding about time mattering not. ..And when she arrived again, The Dealer was sat, now wearing a fresh Robe, and alighting a new incense, filling the cart once again with a new aroma.

"The Difference between this game and the world we live...When this game ends, The only ones who will know of the fate we craft, and its lasting effects...Are You, Me, and the ones who live in it. But to the world we live in? None will even know it happened. Everything done to those who live in these cards..." The Dealer would say, suddenly producing a card from the deck as an example.

Arle Nadja's Card.

"Is Felt, and experienced by them. What they feel is very, very real to them...But the result of there feelings, There hardships, will only be known to us." The Dealer said, Before the Card simply slipped away, Slipping into a Discarded deck, shuffled deeply away. "...But to them, There world is as real and genuine as you and i. So come...Let us see them breathe once more." The Dealer would say, Flipping over the card Zelda Chose...

"Castle Volkihar...The Difference between a Curse and a Blessing, is all Perspective. And to this family, Perhaps its all you have."

---

Crunch...Crunch...Crunch...As you stir back to the feeling of Schezo Wegey's body, The first immediate feeling you can stomach is the feeling of snow beneath your feet, as the snow would stop, and eventually turn to Cobblestone, as you arrive onto a Bridge, leading up upon a gigantic, looming castle. It seemed ancient in its architecture, and the faint smell of Blood reeked from it. The fog surrounding the castle was thick, So thick one could hardly see past it, as if a cloud had sat flat on the bridge Schezo walked upon. Statues of Gargoyles stood across each few feet of the bridge as well...

Before one could even begin to make the decision of walking away, The Gates of this castle would slowly open up, To which a man would emerge. "You there! Human!"

An Elf. A High elf, specifically, pointed at schezo. "...I can sense in you, The feeling of something...Deathly. Come, Come. Master Harkon would like a word with you. Seems he thinks you could be of...Help." The Elf would say. His eyes were deep...As if they echoed a sort of Hunger.

[Mari]

Zelda took a deep breath. ...That had been what she was worried about. However, while she was listening intently to the dealer's... words, she was also paying attention to his actions. ...That card... resembled someone she knew. But the way he stashed it in the deck. It told her two things. This was the girl she'd killed, and although she was discarded ... her card still existed. It implied that there was a way to remove her from that discard pile and put her back in play. She was not 'truly' gone, just lost in the deck. ...Zelda closed her eyes for a moment, silently resolving to try and find a way to rescue that girl. She just had to find a way to wrestle control from that cursed blade.

...

And then she was back in the dream. A chilly castle awaited her, and she quietly followed a man with rather ...ugly eyes. Well, better not voice that thought. It wasn't right to judge those for their ailments. Schezo quietly approached the man, watching him wordlessly for a moment.  ...How gullible did he think he was? Nobody invited random strangers who just happened to be passing by in the wilderness into their homes! Not unless they were trying to save them from the cold, anyway, but that was clearly not what was going on here. "...Well? Let's not keep him waiting, then." Schezo replied, ignoring the danger vibes he was getting.

The High Elf would quickly usher Schezo in, as a few passing vampires shot some rather ugly faces at the human traversing into there domain, An Iron gate closing behind Schezo Wegey in order to allow him inside, as the wooden door opened to reveal the dark cobblestone the castle was made of inside. Wooden tables, each adorned with hunks of flesh, Human Flesh, And a vampire occasionally chewing on each peice for each chair as they drank the blood still inside. However, the feast would stop soon, as Schezo's presence was known, and soon, a Tall man adorned in armor would come forth from the second floor.



"Do not be alarmed, Friend. I feel you and i share...A Common Interest." The Man would say, Coming closer to greet Schezo. "I am Lord Harkon. Ruler of this Domain. As you may of predicted, We are creatures not of the mortal realm, For the Sun harms us so. I have a Quest for you, and in return...I can grant you a power beyond your wildest dreams. You do like Power, Do you not?" Harkon would ask, Before turning to a Subordinate, whom gave Harkon a scroll, to which he showed Schezo. It depicted a Bow and Arrow, Bathed in the Sun.

"There is an artifact we require, Known as Auriel's Bow, That we need to accomplish our plans. However, It is currently in the hands of a group, known as the 'Dawnguard'. You will find this Bow, and give it to me. If you do, Great things will occur, i assure you. Infact...Should you accept, Ill give you this." Harkon would say, motioning to a dark corner of the room. Soon, A Female figure would emerge, looking clearly a bit awkward by this situation.



"Father, Could we talk about this--"

"My own Daughter! She's frail, weak, and miserable...But compared to the mortal men, She is neigh godlike. No doubt a great Companion for you...For however you may use her. We can make you an unstoppable force of Magic as well, if all is done as need be... Well?"

[Will Schezo Accept Lord Harkon's Quest to retrieve Auriel's bow? Accepting will grant him Serana as a Companion immediately, with the promise of even more power to come.]

[Mari]

Schezo kept his hand idly resting on the pommel of his sword, making his intentions clear if any of those vampires decided to mess with him. Schezo remained quiet as Lord Harkon greeted him. So that was his game, huh? Tempting him with power? A part of him expected this power to come at a price taken from his neck. Yet, as Lord Harkon went on he was being offered ... women, and powerful magical artifacts. Schezo glanced at Serana, quietly considering the circumstances. ...Lord Harkon clearly had some sort of disdain for her. What sort of father allowed their daughter to go anywhere with a strange man? He might as well be killing her himself. Or worse, damning her to a most degrading and dehumanizing form of slavery. ...Good people didn't do this to their daughters. After Schezo's moment of thought, however, he spoke up.

"Very well. I'll retrieve your bow, and I'll take your daughter as well. Just point me in the direction of this 'Dawn Guard'." Schezo replied. ...Power was his strongest motivator, after all.

Lord Harkon would smile rather maliciously, nodding and motioning Serana to Schezo, to which the Girl would simply look away from her Father, before moving to Schezo, Looking rather despondant as Lord Harkon nodded. "We will have a close eye upon you, Mage...But i trust you not to dissapoint. And Neither shall we." Lord Harkon would say, as the many vampires of the court would begin to feast upon severed arms and legs now that there dinner was no longer to be interrupted.  "Serana, Dear...I presume you would be so kind as to help him find the Dawnguard as well." Harkon would say, as Serana taking a deep breath, would just nod, holding in her disgust, as Harkon would then turn away, to return to his own buisness inside of the walls of his castle...

Serana would quickly stay to Schezo's side as they left. "...Thank you." She would say after a pause. "Being in there is certainly not the most uplifting. Especially not after a few hundred years..." She would say, before looking at Schezo. "I dont think i ever got your actual name? I am Serana...I hope i can 'Prove' myself more worthy than my father described." Serana would say with an eye roll. "But he doesnt seem to think anything that doesnt further his goals is worthless...Anyways. Shall we be off?" Serana would ask, As soon, Incense would cloud the air once more...

[Serana has now been added as a Companion! Serana has an HP of 100%, with +2 to her WIS and DEX, with every other stat sitting at a simple +0. Every second turn, during battle, Serana can cast Vampiric Drain (12% Damage, Vampiric/Dark Element Magic Attack, Heals Serana for 1d10% Damage), Lightning Bolt (15% Lightning Magic Attack) or Ice Spear (15%, Ice Magic Attack) upon foes. Companions are controlled by the GM.]

"Ah, How Fates tend to tie up with one another...Shall we keep going, and see just how tied up we can become?"

[Mari]

Schezo hesitated a moment. Did she even realize she was in danger? "...Schezo Wegey, the Dark Wizard. Let's get moving." Schezo replied, a note of distaste in his voice--which was weird, since he was just giving his name and title. He readied himself to move on, when a thought hesitantly occurred to him. "...The ambition to seize a greater destiny than that presented to you is peerless. Please me as you will." Schezo replied, offering Serana advice.

...

Zelda took a deep breath. She was full of conviction now. She felt as if she could handle whatever came next, a bold thought considering... "...Absolutely." she replied, gesturing to the far left card.

"...Ah, Pardon me. Must of dozed off for a second. Bloody hard keeping focus with the stadium outside, you know...Im thinking of moving my caravan to the Harvest Acre's...Mmm...Nah, Far too crowded there as well..."

With that odd wait aside, the man motioned to flip the card that Zelda gestured to...



"Shadow Broker. In the age where brother fights brother, and Kingdoms fall even beyond the stars...Information, becomes a valuable resource, Sharper than any sword."

---

Zelda awoke once more in the body of Schezo Wegey, Serana standing asides the male as the two seemed to enter a bar, In which many odd, Alien creeatures stood around, partaking in drinks and conversing...However, Zelda would soon find an entity, lurched over a table all his own in a dark corner, as the large beast welcomed the white haired knight and Vampiress with open arms.




"...Friends. I know the both of you well. Hard not to hear about the killer dark knight and the vampire daughter traveling around now. I dont wish to see you turned in, But...Id like to offer some aid for you and your companion here. Im a merchant of information, you see...I know everyones darkest secrets. All there deepest fears...Im the Shadow Broker. I have something...Special, for you, if you'd care to trade."

With that, the Shadow broker motions a hand, as a Woman wearing a mask opens a briefcase to Schezo...



"Omniblade. Real N7 Class weaponry. Plus...A little something extra. You just gotta trade some info for me."

"Sources tell me you encountered a Skeleton named Papyrus. Where is he now? I have a Client seeking to...Make Dust to Dust."

(You have three options! You can either tell the Shadow Broker the information of where Papyrus is, And recieve a new Weapon for the Game, and a Rare item for the Pot, Or, Choose to leave. Alternatively, attempting to fight the shadow broker is an option as well, But it wont be easy...)

[Princess Zelda of Hyrule (TP)]

Zelda paused a moment. ...Were people gathering at the farm? Weird.

---

Schezo seemed to consider the Shadow Broker's offer. He definitely did not understand what the broker meant by that analogy. It seemed entirely redundant to him. However... "...The skeletal craftsman? He was an oddly pleasant fellow, for a skeleton. But I have little interest in his affairs." Schezo replied in a rather casual tone. "...But if one did wish to find him, I last encountered him in the snowy wonderland around Snowden. Schezo replied, offering up information as to Papyrus' whereabouts in return for ... whatever it was this broker was offering him. He wasn't entirely sure what it was, but the information he was giving was worthless to him, so it seemed like a good trade regardless.

"Snowden...Heh. Your information's appreciated...I am a Man of my word. So, Here you go." 

The Masked woman approaches Zelda-Schezo before setting the strange, Orange gantlet upon his palm. The Blade flashed a few odd colors, before suddenly, Vanishing into thin air! And a Light tingling covers Schezo's Right arm, as the mass effect waves cover him...

(New Primary Move Obtained for Schezo!)

Omni-blade: Using the Mass Effect waved surrounding your arm, An Orange blade colored bright orange appears like a Dagger, For you to stab anyone unfortunate enough to be close to you! As a Free Action, once per turn, you can Attack with this weapon, dealing 8%, Non-comboable Damage.

"Pleasure doing buisness with you."

"A bit of meaningless information, Grants you a fine weapon...But not everything is free, of course. But the price we shall pay? We will have to see, wont we?"

(An Event Card has been added to the Next Map!)

[Princess Zelda of Hyrule (TP)]

Zelda considered the dealer's words for a good moment. “...I fear for Papyrus' safety. What happens once every card has been turned over? ...Regardless, I'd like to pick the card on the left of the bottom row.”
