Guess who finally got to act 4.

[lord_of_terror]

[There's a deep bellowing laugh emanating from somewhere within his throat.]

Adria served me well. I have a new vessel, and even my brothers now bow to me. I am Tathamet reborn. I am the sum of all Hells, and even Heaven itself shudders in terror as I leave my footprints on their immaculate halls.

None can deny me. Imperius will watch as Heaven burns. And my laughing face will be the last thing he sees before I rip his body asunder and place his head on a pike in my throne room alongside his fellow Archangels.

[A blah blah, I'm the biggest bad ever and I'm evil and I'm so evil that everything good is upset by my evil and fear my evil and also? Evil. Amaterasu knows evil. He doesn't have to blabber on about it.

But gosh, he's got an interesting build. Dragon? Man? Dragonman mandragon something something? She can't tell. She totally wants to figure it out, though.

Totally just a white wolf.

You know, covered with divinity, red markings, and a constantly rotating shield on her back that spouts flame and what looks to be blue energy. Sup, Evil? This is Good.

Can she inspect you, y/n?]

[lord_of_terror]

[You're no angel, but he knows that aura. His form is irrelevant. He just finds that the dragon-man look seems to terrify most people. Just have a snarl.]

I know not what you are, but I will not bow or be intimidated by the likes of you.

[resolvere]

[Well, she's not most people.

Actually, she's not people at all. But you tried, Dragonmanmandragonguy!

The snarl isn't intimidating. It's just baffling, because she doesn't get his anatomy. She wants to understand his biological make-up, because if she's going to crate Dragonmanmandragon men, she might as well have a good structure in mind for them, right? Earth might like one!

She's not asking for bowing, dude. She's just there. Staring up. Her tail wagging slightly.

...okay, wagging a lot.

There's a bark—a normal wolf's bark, nothing more. No voice yet. Just a bark as she lifts to stand on back feet like a performing dog. Come here, buddy, she wants to check you out.]

[athermercy]

Sounds like you upped a level on the melodramatic speech.

[Just saying.]

[lord_of_terror]

[Annoyed growl.]

And your penchant for annoyance is just as evident.

[athermercy]

Thank a lot -- Doing my best as usual.

[Smiles up him.

Or down. Depending which size and shape she's feeling like to take today.]

[lord_of_terror]

[Regardless, Diablo is not pleased.]

Then perhaps you can do your 'best' somewhere else, lest I end you.

[athermercy]

[She looks wistful for a second.]

Do you really think you could? I am the Beginning and the End. I can't be ended because that's no longer a freedom I posses. I'm Prime Everything.

[She is a Maker. An Arbiter. A Founder. A Preserver. A Creator.]

[urbanhero]

[Yeah, while you're busy gloating, oh Diablo, this puny little mortal's going to extinguishing whatever fires you've managed to set with a fire extinguisher.]

Next time, you might want to not burn the joint down. Just saying.

[lord_of_terror]

All of creation will burn. There is nothing that can save you now, mortal.

[urbanhero]

You're right. But I'm going down swinging at the least.

[Dude, her world's about to have its literal plug pulled. You? You don't scare her. Arachnos is scarier than you!]

[lord_of_terror]

You are not unlike an ant, trying to fight the sun. You will serve my amusement when I drag your soul kicking and screaming down to my realm in Hell.

[Bah, Lord Recluse checks his closet at night for Diablo.]

[urbanhero]

I don't do the whole "kicking and screaming" bit. So I'll pass.

[Diablo better check his closet for NCSoft executives, then. Or Blizz execs, as the case may be.]

[thefirstbionicsoldier]

Hey! Would it kill you to lighten up a little?

[lord_of_terror]

[Have an annoyed glare.]

And who are you to address the Lord of Terror in such a manner?

[thefirstbionicsoldier]

Wow, touchy.

I'm getting the feeling that it doesn't really matter to you what my name is, but if we're going to be exchanging introductions anyway, then I'm Nathan Spencer, Lord of Serious Ass-Kicking.

[lord_of_terror]

You are but a mortal with a bit of steel grafted to your flesh. Your assumptions at being equal with myself are annoying at best.

I am Terror incarnate. You are just a fool.

[bionically]

Hey, now, I never said anything about being equal. I don't see any bionics on you.

[Rad bein' a wiseass; more news at eleven.]

((Please tell me I'm not too late T_T))

[poises]

You are arrogant, demon.

Your shadows shall fall to the light.

I'll make an exception for you. :D

[lord_of_terror]

As are you, Nephalem.

Where there is light, there is shadow. And your kind will always fear what lurks in those shadows, giving me eternal life. The only way to truly dispel those shadows is to extinguish your light and give way to eternal darkness.

Adsaklfjads <33333 I LOVE YOU

[poises]

Silence!

Your insolence is only matched by your ignorance. You will fall, just as Belial and Azmodan have.

We Diablo muses gotta stick together. :D

[lord_of_terror]

You do not give me orders, Nephalem.

Belial and Azmodan were weak. Belial relied too heavily in the trust of his minions and those he fooled. Azmodan was too focused on brute strength, and his tendencies toward the more carnal side of his aspect weakened him further.

There is a reason they were considered Lesser Evils.

Marry me pls

[poises]

And there is a reason why, even you, fear me.

May I ask you a question, demon? There is something I am...curious about.

This is all so sudden~

[lord_of_terror]

I do not fear you, Nephalem. I am eternal. Long after you die and your soul is dragged down into the bowels of my Hell, I will endure.

[He growls a bit, contemplating.]

Speak, mortal. Ask your question.

Oh baby o//o

[poises]

The only thing eternal is balance.

[She quirks her eyebrows upward, somewhat surprised that he'd even amuse her.]

Mahgda expressed her fondness for Belial, Lord of Lies. Does the Lord of Terror posses such emotions, or was Adria's impregnation merely for personal gain?

I do declare~ *fans self to avoid fainting*

[lord_of_terror]

Balance is a construct of humans. A meaningless word, nothing more.

[He erupts into uproarious laughter.]

Mortals are too easy to manipulate. Belial told Mahgda what she wanted to hear, made her feel what he wanted to feel. Even my brother, the Lord of Hatred, toyed with the emotions of Hope herself.

Humans are nothing more than disposable tools in my grand plans. A pawn in a much larger game. Adria knows that. She embraced her role and sacrificed the soul of her own daughter to provide me with a host. Tell me, monk, does that sound like any 'love' you have heard of?

These two are such pricks to each other I swear.

[poises]

Yet you fear it.

[What was love to Xin though? She felt a fondness toward those that aided her, but love was not something she had the time to toy with.]

The emotional spectrum is large even amongst demons. Nephalem will be your downfall no matter what you could possibly feel or scheme.

It's a thing of beauty. <3

[lord_of_terror]

Fear? No. It amuses me more than anything.

[Diablo never openly questioned Mephisto's... fondness for Auriel openly. Mainly because he knew he couldn't afford to disturb the balance. Anger Mephisto, and Baal would join in imprisoning him. Of course since Mephisto couldn't take Baal in a straight up fight, Baal would turn on the Lord of Hatred and all his plans would fall apart.]

If you want to speak of love, speak to Azmodan and his whore. And now more than ever, you Nephalem have proved to be more than useful. You and Tyreal have assured my eventual victory over both Sanctuary and the High Heavens.

The hatred is just so cute~

[poises]

And that is where you are incorrect.

[Her smile is confident.]

If we cannot defeat you I will.

Ain't it though?

[lord_of_terror]

Then tell me, Nephalem. Where is the Black Soulstone now?

You should totally app him at Exit Void with me >_> *coughs*

[poises]

Adria's betrayal was not entirely unexpected. A woman so bent on power couldn't possibly push her daughter to such extremes without having a motive, I was simply unsure of what her motive was.

Perhaps you will become the Prime Evil, but I do not fear that of which I can defeat.

Pfff. I would, if I weren't kinda already there and on Hiatus until I figure out school issues.

[lord_of_terror]

You did not answer my question. The Soulstone is safely back in the depths of Hell, and even should it be destroyed, the flaws in Kulle's creation would only release the souls within.

And even if you do defeat me, I accomplished what I set out to do. I left my mark on the Crystal Arch. Heaven will never be free of my touch.

I crey ;_; But I know that feel.

[poises]

Then so be it!

[She's losing her patience now.]

That is irrelevant. You left your mark, but Heaven will not fall.

Yeah. I have Chris Redfield over there right now, when family issues happened, then school.

[lord_of_terror]

You fail to comprehend the importance of the Crystal Arch. Every angel that falls will be reborn through the arch. With my taint on the arch, they will be reborn with my influence written onto their very souls.

Eventually, all the angels will be as Izual. Not even the Angeris Council would be free from the effects. Eventually, Imperius himself will be nothing more than another guard dog at my throne.

I hope things go better for you ;c

[poises]

Balance will be restored. Without balance, your existence would not have occurred.

Your grand design will not be realized.

Just two weeks left. >.>

[lord_of_terror]

Believe what you will if it helps you sleep at night.

It cannot be stopped.
