Every Character leaves Kanshordan.
Every Character Enters Critatica
9 Years have past and Koruam overlooked the valley where he was cursed. Ryudo stood next to him at his right side. A small blue haired boy on the left.
"This my son is where I battled the mighty blue scorpion. Daddy got his scar from him."
He pointed at a open field now covered with grass.
"That there is the place where Ryudo died 1600 years ago." he said to his son.
Ryudo nodded. "It was indeed a fierce battle. I was so young, so foolish..."
The small boy asked his father, "Where were you cursed to immortality father?"
Koruam smiled. "On the spot where we stand right now Sakosr."
-----------
The craftsmen where still busy building the arena for the Shadowgames.
"Hurry on you lazy slackers! In a few days this arena has to be opperational! Koruam doesnt like to be off schedule!" said a man holding a open book with the blueprints of this huge monument.
He sighed. "I just hope we can finish it in time..."
"Norhoz!" A scout came running to the man holding the book.
"What is it?" he asked.
"Word has it that your wife Umeve got a son. Your a father!"
Norhoz dropped the book. "Father?" he let out a scream of happiness. "I AM A FATHER!" he quickly grabbed the scout by his shoulders. "What's his name?"
"Hasiep..." a female voice spoke.
Norhoz looked up and saw Umeve. He smiled and ran to her and gave her a quick kiss on her mouth. Then he turned his attention to his son.
"After your father... he must be honoured... he is handsome." Norhoz said smiling.
"Like his father." Umeve said happy.
---------------
"GHAHAHAHAHAHA." A terrible hideous laughter came out of the quarters of the Ofuro.
Povva stood there holding a sword against one of the soldiers.
"I dare you to repeat yourself!" he said with a twisted look in his face.
"Y...you are a madman!" the soldier spoke.
Povva slit through the mans throat who fell on the ground choking in it's own blood.
"No one calls me mad! YOU HEAR ME!" He screamed at the dead body and kicked it. "NO ONE! GHAHAHAHAHA."

Water.. Dark but pure water.. I'm drowning into it's emptiness.
Do you hear me? Yes. I want to be with you. I didn't do anything wrong. I admit. I screwed up. Please take my body.. I rather die than to stay. I.. I hate this place. I hate him. I hate his son. Most of all, I hate myself.
Suddenly someone grabbed Karutsu from her hair and pulled her up from the water barrel. "What the hell do you think you're doing?!" Karutsu coughed water and leaned against Lamento's chest. 9 freaking years of torment. She had completely lost herself, her sanity. Lamento had literally taken care of her all this years. Wiped her tears when she cried, hugged her when she was alone and listened to her words when no one else would. Boy she had completely lost herself indeed. But Karutsu refused to admit it. "Are you okay?" he asked her, "Don't do that again.. It's not a solution." Karutsu closed her eyes "I don't want to see that boy ever again.. Neither that man. Kill me, please.." Lamento sighed.
"I know.. I know", he whispered, "But you have to stay here. Think about Versus. He'd want you to live, right?" Karutsu gently pushed Lamento away and wiped the water off from her face. She was so sick of this. "But Lucifer promised to me!!" she yelled and punched the closest tree which immediately fell. "I had him!" she screamed and turned to Lamento, "If he throath would just once be bear beneath my hands..! NO! I had him.. I could've ended his life earlier!" Lamento put his hand on her shoulder "Calm down.. You have to wait.." "WAIT!" Karutsu repeated, "Why did I wait indeed?! YOU told me to wait!" She turned around and leaned against a tree. She was tired. She lacked sleep, water and food. Food turned into ash in her mouth. Water transformed into air in her throath and she just couldn't sleep.. She was losing her mind.

((Note, Lesav is currently residing in a unnamed town or city, he will be there shortly)
"Boss. It is time."
"Whuuu wha? What are you talking about."
"Well boss, remember when you told me about the tournament. That time is now."
Lesav slowly moved his head from the hard oaken table and looked up at his suborbinate. Had it been 9 years already?
"Allright, just...lemme sleep the booze off a bit." Lesav mumbled slamming his head back onto the table. "Well you see boss. The tavernmaster want's you out. You have been here for three whole days now."
Lesav stood up immidiatlly, finding it dificult to balance correctly on his feet. "What! he want ME out! I am Lesav, leader of the Red Nut Mercenary Guild! Thanks to me I made him RICH! No one has ever bought that many beer then ME!" He lost his balance but luckily his subordinate catched him in time. "I..I should kill him for not wanting m..me here" Lesav mumbled, his eyelids starting to feel heavy and drift into a deep slumber.
"I know boss, I know" The subordinate sighed and dragged his master's sleeping body out of the tavern and into the streets.

Quite close to the arena the quarters for the players where already finished.
Some players even resided there already. Many players from all over the world where expected.
Jinn was the one in charge of the players quarters. He sat in his office while Norhoz rushed through the door.
"Look, look! This is my son!" he yelled excited.
"Good for you..." Jinn said, not careing.
Norhoz was quiet for a second and rushed out of the door.
He went to see Koruam.
"Hey Koruam! Look I'm a father!"
Ryudo turned around. "What a cute child, what's her name?"
Norhoz looked puzzled. "It's a boy... his name is Hasiep, after the father of Umeve."
Koruam smiled. "Nice name. You did well Norhoz."
Sakosr jumped around in excitement. "I wanna see him too!" and Koruam lifted him. "He looks silly..."
Koruam laughed. "You looked silly as well when you where a baby... this is your nephew Sakosr, protect him."
Sakosr looked amazed. "Yes father I will!"

"Say, Karutsu.."
The blue haired girl opened her eyes. She was laying on the grass, trying to sleep. But she only saw nightmares. It was impossible. "Tell me", she answered shortly.
Lamento was sharpening his sword with a specific stone and looked at his mirror image from it. Day by day his hair started to look darker, now it was almost black, with a few dark blue shades.
"You told me once that in your world you could sing very well", he said, "Can you.. now?"
Karutsu sat up. She wasn't wearing a cape, not when she was with Lamento. "No. I doubt so. Eesgo is an ugly world.. It wouldn't let me use my powers, if I'd try." Lamento looked at her "So you haven't tried?" Karutsu shook her head "It would be strange if I could here. Let's go. I need a drink."
The two of them got up.

A white robed priest from the city of Jesascho appeared.
"The world sure has changed alot since we where gone..."
Next to him stood a black robed woman, a head smaller of him.
"Certainly has, where is my old master? I want to meet up with him." she said.
The priest stopped her.
"Do not go alone... you know Jinn has changed so much... maybe Norhoz has as well. You would do best to lay low for a while Desuv."
"Damn you Pesf! I am going anyway!" Desuv ran off the hill and towards the construction site.
She tripped and rolled the last part down.
"Auch! That certainly hurt!" she yelled.
Pesf shook his head. "The same as always."

"What in the name of the gods had I been thinking!" Lesav groanend Holding his head with his two hands.
"You were not thinking boss" One of Lesav's subordinates said.
"Are we leaving yet!" A other subordinate asked wich lesav responded with another groan.
"Eeer. I got everything packed boss. So we are ready to go...I think" The thrith subordinate said.
and there was a forth one. Whom remainend silent.
"Alright alright. We go, we still got a long way ahead of us, I'll try to get thast headache out of my system on the way okay. BUT STOP YELLING! A crap, my poor head"
"Darun" He looked at subordinate number one, a huge ox of a man, all bald.
"Elis" His eyes shifted to number two. A woman with a constant annoyed expression, dressed in a buetifull dress, as if she was of noble blood
"Reki" Number three, the young boy who ahd dragged him back to his guild. Around the age of 16 and was very timid, constantly doubting himself.
"Eldred" The last of the four. His face and entire body cloaked away so that only his mouth was visible, which he never used.
All stood up right.
"WE MOVE!!! A cruds, my poor head

"Checkmate", said Lamento's fellow soldier and pointed his sword towards him. Lamento sighed "You're way too good. Alright, the lady's turn!" Karutsu stood up and sighed. She didn't like training at all. Lamento attacked her immediately, and she dodged, without using any weapons. She opened her mouth, and just when Lamento was sure she would let out a witty comment, he felt his body become all numb.
He fell on the ground, unable to say anything or move a muscle for that matter. Karutsu smirked "Looks like I can use my powers after all."

((Note, all the other post where actually happening a few days before this day))
"Whew finally made it!" lesav let out a yawn and jumped out of the cart. It was filled with stuff he had taken from his guild, so no debt collector could get it. "Good" Elis said annoyed and put out her hand. immidiatlly Eldred helped her get of the cart aswell.
"You can take a rest now Darun. You DID carry is all the way to here without any rest." Lesav said, patting the bald head of his giant man.
"Thanks boss" He panted and fell on his back, the ground rumbleling because of his weight.
"So what are we going to do now boss?" Reki asked unsure as he walkes with Lesav, towards one of the quarters. "To meet a fool and see if I can nib some extra drinking nuts from him" He answered with a smirk.

((Good, then it is the day of the opening.))
((Everyone playing in the games, please PM me with your playlist, for info on playlists go check it out in the relative thread.))
Finally the arena was completed and it was huge.
Norhoz whiped off the sweat of his face. It was a hot day, even for Critatican standards.
"It's pretty crowded here." he said to Koruam.
He just nodded in response.
"I'm opening up the entrance booth so people can start to registrate their stones." Koruam said to Norhoz and walked out of his building immediately.
He walked up a the stairs and was on a platform higher than the people.
It was very crowded with people from all over the world.
"People of Eesgo! Welcome to the first annual games! The rules are stated in the manual and there will be Ofuro who keep an eye on you guys outside of the games! Whoever breaks a rule shall be disqualified and will not be able to win the grand prize of one million gold nuts! At the other end of the square you find the registration area where you can sign up for the games, the people who will registrate you are Ofuro! Do not go into discussion with them cause they carry out my will, and my will is law in this country! I will see you all in the Arena!"
And with that he walked downstairs watching Norhoz leaving for the booth to enter the players.
"Norhoz!" Koruam yelled.
Norhoz walked back. "What is it?"
"I want you to stay here. You and Ryudo are playing in the Arena. I don't want the other players to think I cheat by letting you get knowledge beforehand of other players."
Norhoz nodded. "I see your point. Then I shall go and see my son if it's alright."
Koruam smiled. "Go see him."

Lesav knocked a few time son the door before he entered Povva's quarters.
"Heya boss. Long time no see" He said with a smirk as he saw Povva, then he noticed the bloody body of a recently deceased soldier.
"It looks like you managed to keep an eye out for yourself since I left the army. Exactly what Koruam would expect from a top-notch Ofuro such as yourself. He smirked to the man.

"Ouch! Stop that!" Karutsu hissed.
Lamento rolled his eyes "Hold still, if you don't want to be recognized then shut up."
Karutsu looked at her face from the mirror "How long will the spell keep my hair blond like this?" Lamento counted quickly with his finger "One day, don't worry. The spell is a platinan spell, it's not known in Eesgo. No one will notice." Karutsu sighed and was worried. She didn't look like her darkself anymore, she was wearing a very feminine dress and her hair was... oh my god.. blond.
Why all this? She hated to be recognized by Koruam. Lucifer was getting very excited of the tournaments aswell.
Hmm, finally the week of answers and farewells starts.. Aren't you excited to see Versus?
Karutsu ignored him and when she was ready, she tried to remember all she had to say. Her fake name, her age, her background, everything.
After this she walked to the registration area, giving a sweet smile to the Ofuros "I'd like to participate."
