Raven

Raven sat on the floor of her room, completely dark but for a single candle. "Azar, I beseech you," she prayed. "Hear my words, answer my prayers. I need you, Goddess. I need you. My mind is a battleground, whipped and ripped asunder, torn from the very fabric of reality. He, that demon who is Trigon, that demon who is my father...he calls for me. And his summons becomes so hard to resist."

She heard nothing from her former teacher, no words or comforting touch on her mind, but she hadn't really expected she would. Still, it hurt to have that last bit of hope crumble. "Then my course is charted," she murmured. "And my sad destiny awaits."

She'd leave in the morning. She'd run like she'd run from Azarath, a last attempt to protect those she loved before the evil churning within her consumed her. But for one last night she'd pretend Fandom was still her home.

Raven blew out the candle, crawled into her bed, and cried herself to sleep.

( Raven wasn't the only person still awake. )

Raven retreated to a private room once they returned to the Hall. She was still shaken by what had happened to her when Jaenelle had killed all the Jhinka. It was more than her inner demon struggling to be free. She'd felt her father there as if he was one with her, egging her on to accept the dark mantle of her power. And she'd been so close, too close to accepting it.

So now she hid, unwilling to face anyone after what she'd almost done.

( Little did she know the day was going to get worse. )

After Trigon and Raven had vanished and the demons had all disappeared, Arella turned to address those from Fandom. "I will return you to your home as my daughter requested," she said. "Unless...." She hesitated and glanced toward the Temple of Azarath, damaged but still standing.

( It wasn't over yet. )

Raven teleported with Trigon to a far away world. He'd manifested himself as almost human-sized (but taller than Anakin, because he was petty like that), standing beside her on a floating platform that overlooked the shattered world below. Stone buildings lay in ruins, and demons flew in the skies above. There were people below, looking up in fear. "God save us!" she heard one man cry. "Trigon has returned!"

( Someone chose...poorly. )

[OOC: Preplayed with...me. Warnings for really awful dialogue, ripping off lines from Star Wars, and Trigon saying "comely wench." NFI and NFB, but OOC always welcomed!

The spamming will end soon, promise.]
 

Raven wasn't strong enough to take everyone far, but Azarath was close enough to reach safely. They found themselves between dark blue-green skies where stars and planets hung impossibly close. There were buildings around them of marble and gold, and people milling about in robes of grey and blue.

Raven knew Dinah would recognize where they were, but for the rest, she said quietly, "This is Azarath. Welcome to my home."

( You will never find a more wretched hive of....peace and passivity. )

( And then Trigon reappeared. )

( And then Raven decided to be an idiot. )
