Closing of the Xinjin Portal
Roleplay from Lila (3 hours, 45 minutes ago) Message sent to everyone in the region Xinjin (3 recipients)
Lila was tired. Two stints in the Nethworld prison, many days of travel, and she still wasn't nearer her goal. This time though... this time would be different. She was a commoner, but she had noble blood runing through her veins. Just because her mother cast her to the peasants after she was born, so she could still eat from her silver spoon, Lila held no ill will.
After waiting and resting, she was close. Tindle was only a five hours walk... then off to Xinjin for the third time. The previous two trips were lucky. The first she found an unique item that she was returning, so she was released. The second time the Incantrix was going to let her go again, but she slipped out of the cell in the night and never looked back. She didn't think the Incantrix would take kindly to seeing her now for a third time.
So it was now or never. Once she arrived in Xinjin, she looked for the portal. She stayed to the shadows of the night, making her way towards the eerie glow she could see in the night sky. The closer... the better. Lila could feel the magic radiating from the portal. Rumor was that a portal could be used to close the portal from the Netherworld. There had been talks about ones trying, but they were opening portals in other regions.
The sky was darker above the temple, the magic radiating from it almost threw Lila back. She knew Scab was somewhere, trying to distract them.... She grit her teeth and kept pushing forward. So many deaths, so many livevs destroyed. The last time she was imprisoned, she had heard there was a family member in there as well. She had never met Ravyn, but she knew the name. This was for everyone, family included.
Skirting around the outside, Lila continued to sneak in... Finally she could go no further. The power was too strong. Putting down her pack, she pulled the stones from it one by one. She pulled eight stones from her pack, with two extras for just in case. She had talked to many sages and wizards, and she was sure her chances were good. Placing the stones in a circle, she stepped inside, sitting cross legged on the floor, all the different gems and crystals she had collected in her lap. Moonstones, jade, tomes, she was going to try anything and everything.
Sitting in the circle, chanting the words the wizards and sages gave her, she hoped beyound hope this wouldn't be her final stand, but she hoped that if it was.... it would be for the greater good, and the Daimons could go back to the Netherworld where they belonged.....

DOMINA! INCANTATRIX! HEAR ME!
Scab ran to the top of every stone, every hill, every knoll, and shouted, again and again.
GREAT RULERS OF THE NETHERWORLD, HEAR ME! I AM BUT A PEASANT, A COMMONER BY THE NAME OF SCAB! I BESEECH THEE TO HEAR MY MESSAGE!
He watched Lila finish the ritual, and stand. He shouted again.
HEAR ME, OH SCARY DARK ONES! I OFFER MYSELF TO THEE! TAKE MY LIFE, AND DRAG ME FROM THIS PLACE!
He pissed himself, standing there yelling at the sky, beckoning Daimons to him... What was he thinking...
DOMINA! INCANTATRIX! HEAR ME!

Strange Lights (just in)
message to everyone in the vicinity of Xinjin A column of light shoots up into the sky from somewhere in Xinjin, and there is a strange humming sound. Nothing else seems to happen...for now.
The stones began to glow and shimmer in the circle, the power radiating from them was closing in on Lila. She stood fast to her ground, the words a constant litinay from her lips, her eys closed, she let the power wash over her in waves. When she tried to open her eyes, the light was so bright, she had to squeeze them shut again or risk being blinded. A loud humming in her ears turned into a dull roar, and still she stood her ground.
There was no time to run or hide, this was her stand. She could only hope that Scab would make it out safely, she should have known better than to let him tag along. He wanted to help, and she hoped beyound hope that she didn't lead him to his death. Lila didn't want to die, but she knew if she must, she would only want to sacrifice herself. The decision to come her was her own, based on rumors, but her own just the same. The prevoius two visits were scouting missions, and she found her target.
Perhaps if she lived to tell the tale, she could take her rightful place in noble society. If she didn't live to tell the tale, perhaps that alone would give her a noble burial. Her biggest hope was that this chance was not in vain. As the humming increased.... so did the speed of Lila's tongue, the gems in her lap trembling at the power that was being released, and intertwining with the dark power already present. All Lila could do was hold on to her thoughts... and herself.
