The Healing magicks have no effect whatsoever on the virulent poison that Loki has used to gain his revenge. Brenthon's color continues to fade and he begins to shudder as his body is wracked with pain.

Loki, having stopped the flow of blood from his severed hand, cackles with delight.

"I used vrana root in the poison, Valkyrie. No cure for it except death and only if the victim can be killed before the root makes them immortal. He'll be wracked with pain as his flesh rots away forever. Enjoy each other's company, harlot! As for the rest of you, I will have my revenge against each of you in full measure. Especially you, so called God of Rage."

Loki disappears in a cloud of smoke, gone to seek healing before he bleeds to death.

Danielle gnaws at her lip, what Loki had said was true. Vrana root was a rare herb from the dark realms and slowly rotted away flesh while granting immortality to its victim. It was the most horrible of existances and one she would not wish on anyone. With tears cascading down her cheeks, Danielle picks the gem pouch up from the floor where it had fallen unnoticed. She throws it to Ti who has resumed her human form in the aftermath of Loki's revenge.

"Take it and leave Asgard. You have no business here any longer. I'll take care of Brenthon and your other friend as well."

She gestures towards the forgotten petrified Melody, the Siren remained a statue from Brenthon's curse and would not be ableto be restored until either he was or a gypsy stronger than Brenthon could break the curse.

Most of the MoE attempt to protest but the look the Valkyrie gives them, quiets them quickly. Danielle begins to glow softly as she gently brushes the hair back from Brenthon's face. A glowing mass forms over his chest that she cups in one hand. She whispers softly to the light, before lifting it above her head. The light ball circles her, caressing her before lifting into the sky, headed directly for a large vortex of sparkling light. As the light lifts from Brenthon's chest, he stops breathing and the pain lines creasing his face fade. Tears still fresh on her cheeks, Danielle stands from where she had released her lover's soul and gestures at the hollow shell causing it to burst into flame leaving nothing but ashes.

"Leave now! I won't tell you again. Asgard is no place for you."

As the charms they were given begin to glow, a portal opens behind the MoE, and they can feel the incessent pull of the portal.

:: Devon watched the going ons, feeling greatly pissed that he didn't get to do much. Indeed, things like that were beyond his power. He felt somewhat useless. Seeing so many greater power before him, Devon simply paled in comparison. Indeed, the regular MOEs were no where compared to these ancient beings. Reluctantly, he listened to the woman Danielle's words, and soon after, a portal of somesort appeared. Glacing at the other MOEs, Devon knew he really didn't have much choice. Moving along with the others, they entered the portal to be brought away from Asgard. Worrying was useless, and there was nothing he could do for Brenthon and Melody. However, it seems the only thing he could do is to offer what little assistance he has in the battling and other going ons.::

Given no other alternative, the MoE step into the portal, some weeping for those they lost, others silently vowing revenge on Loki. Titania knew in the blackest pit of her heart that she and the God of Evil would meet again, her hand clenching the bag holding the gem, reflexively. The spark of attraction between them was too strong for them not to. And she harbored no illusions that he would not come seeking revenge on her personally, she rather looked forward to it but that was something she would not be revealing to her questmates any time soon.

As they enter the portal, they experience a feeling of falling, more intense than their arrival in Asgard. Intense, almost painful flashes of heat and cold buffet them as the vertigo intensifies.

Pressure against their bodies intensifies drastically and there is a feeling that something is pushing back against them as well. With a loud crash, they spill out of the portal into a room lined with mirrors, each showing a different scene.

Overcome with severe nausea, the group takes several minutes to recover. As they slowly do, Sati, Amy and Rama all get an apprehensive look about them as they recognize the Inner Room of the Hall of Eons.

I am closing this thread as you have now arrived in Atlantis. Your quest continues in the IQ-Atlantis Chronicles thread. As all three groups are in the same place and time, please do not post any interactions until I have brought the groups together. I hope you have enjoyed this portion of the quest and are ready for the next because this is where the fun really begins.
