 Hades was pleased with the turn out. Many in the city tried to stand up to the monsters he’d unleashed, and most had fallen. The strong souls that had won - either by luck or by strength and skill - had still unknowingly played right into his hands. He knew who the heroes to watch out for were now, and had plenty of weak souls to manipulate to do his bidding and push his agenda in Elias when he had Underworld affairs to manage

 Purgatory. A dark area of nothingness in the Underworld - a waiting area for souls while they were queued up for judgement by the king of the Dead. It also served as an inescapable, doorless prison for his enemies - albeit, a gentler jail compared to the hellish pits of Tartarus. He brought people here who had questions he needed answered, or had use for. If they refused, then they would stay put. The heavy, dense and endless fog would leave them to wander aimlessly for eternity - or until they were driven insane enough to cooperate. “Playing hero never plays off, does it?” Hades spoke into the void, appearing in the thick of the fog as he approached his newest prisoner. “Or perhaps you were someone who simply found themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time. Either way, welcome to your new home.”

The fog consumed his whole field of vision, leaving him rather hopeless in trying to find a way out. Soon he saw a figure appear from the fog stopping him dead in his tracks. Will was just confused as before but he decided to just go along with it. After witnessing the unthinkable much else could surprise the swordsman at this point. “It was the honorable thing to do. I’d be disappointing my father if I hadn’t.” Will stated firmly then glanced back at the endless fog that surrounded them. “And where is this exactly? I suppose it'd be rather absurd of me to think that this is heaven, right?”

Only the brave dare investigate the noise, because this creature that it originates from is unlike the others that had spawned in the city. The roaring continues like a beacon, looking for a challenger to come take it on. Pity the soul that crossed its path without a defense to their name, because death would be instantaneous. 

6 pairs of sharp, beady eyes perched up above on a building, found the opponent it’d been looking for. Another roar exploded from the creature, shaking everything in its’ surrounding. Car alarms went off. Street lights shattered and went dark, snuffing out what little illumination there was on the street. The beast that had caused the commotion took the darkness as its’ opportunity to attack.

Rubble from the building that it had been perched up on clattered to the ground as it leapt up into the air. Large, giant wings carried it up into the coverage of the clouds, cloaking its’ location as swooping noises and goat bleating circled above head.

Then, for a long moment - it was quiet.

The moment of silence was interrupted suddenly and violently as the large creature broke through the clouds and came crashing into the center of street with a force so great that slabs of cement flew every which way under the impact of its’ clawed feet. A winged chimera stood before its’ target; the lion’s head reared back with a roar in dominance, the goat’s head nostrils flared and tossed about its horns, and the spiked tail where the dragon’s head wiped around breathed fire in a vicious show of strength. 

Monster type: chimera

Level 3 monster 

Remember to read the rules when replying to this monster. Max 5 players (1 character each)

Will managed to bypass most of the monstrosity's that plagued Elias streets with ease. He snuck between the shadows of the poorly lit street lights and abandoned cars. Sirens pierced his ears but their was no help to be found. Shops were broken in to and damaged leaving trails of broken glass behind. Flames began to engulf some of the buildings as Will made his way into the center of the city where most of the chaos seemed to take place. He could no longer hide within the realm of the darkness, there was no shelter left to do so. Stepping into the light Will began to pick up the pace. Running pass civilians and urging them to run the other way or to go back home. Even shielding a couple of teenagers from falling debris. It was too much to take on for one man alone but he knew others were out there somewhere fighting for the same cause.

His feet carried him as his eyes scanned the streets for a monster to sink his sword into. However to his surprise there wasn’t one in sight. It left him feeling uneasy as the sense of dread once more sent a chill down his spine. But there was no time to think. If there was no monsters around he had to focus on getting the residents out of town. Which is exactly what he did as he ran throughout the streets.

It wasn’t until he came across the sound of faint crying that he sheathed his sword once more. Cautiously he made his way towards the sound. Pulling out his dagger for a more close ranged attack. He gripped the handle as tightly as he could and took a sharp turn around an abandoned car to where to sound originated from. Ready to attack he kept his arm steady and his eyes focused. But once he turned to see what it was he found himself looking down upon a small child rather than a monster.

She was crying, curled up in small ball. Will immediately dropped his arm to his side and bent down on his knees to meet the Childs height. She look frightened of him so he held his hands up to let her know that it was safe. “Are you alright little one?” Will asked softly. The child shook her head no as she tried to wipe her tears away. “I can’t find my mommy.” She spoke in another sob. “We’ll find her I promise. But we need to get you out of here, okay? It’s not safe.” He spoke then quickly removed his leather jacket and placed it around the girls icy shoulders. It was summer and yet the air was bitterly cold. He knew he couldn’t take the child with him not when there was danger still lurking about but he also needed to ensure her safety. Quickly he scooped the child into his arms and began to search for her parents. However the further Will made it into the middle of the city the more uneasy he felt. He was running at this point feeling the urgency of finding shelter.

Then it went silent.

So uncomfortably so that it stopped Will dead in his tracks. He gripped tightly to the child within his arms. Scanning the area around them looking for any sign of an invasion. “What is it?” The little girls voice managed to squeak out. “Somethings wrong.” Will responded and instinctively took a few steps back. “It’s not safe here.”

Before Will Turner even had time to think something crashed so harshly into the ground in front of him that it rumbled the earths core. Will knelt closely to the ground trying to shelter the girl from oncoming debris of cement and dirt. Once he had a chance to look up at his opponent he was met with not just two eyes but six. The creature was a gruesome mix between three animals causing Wills stomach to churn. It was unlike the others that he came across earlier in the night. However he didn’t have time to think. The child within in his arms was his first priority. He set her down as fast as he could and gripped her tightly by the shoulders. “You have to go now. You can’t stay with me. Run as fast as you can! As fast as your feet can carry you! You do not stop until you find somebody to help, understand?” The girl only began to cry harder but Will hastily tried to convince her to run knowing his time was being cut in half by now.

Unsheathing his sword he took a few steps closer towards the monstrosity that growled before him. He outstretched his arms protecting the child behind him. “Not her. You want to fight, You'll have to go through me first.” Steadily as he could Will raised his sword in position getting ready to strike. Whipping his head back he shouted so loud that his throat burned. “Go, NOW!” Finally the girl took Wills warning and began running towards the opposite direction.

Given the situation Will felt a wave of relief wash over him. As he gripped the handle of his sword tightly he looked into the eyes of evil. He thought for a moment about the people he loved. Elizabeth, Caspian, Emily...hell he was even beginning to like Monty. All good people, all people he loved. Will wasn’t one to swear but given the situation it was more than appropriate.

“Alright bitch, let’s dance.”

Then all at once Will sped towards the monster aiming for one of it’s three heads.

An admittedly misplaced sense of loyalty to Victor had taken Emily there first. He was small and weak and emotional and completely unequipped to deal with a threat like this. She had left him with the shattered remains of a bottle to protect himself with and headed back out onto the streets.

The list of people she needed to check in on was short but the most important to her in the world. Cautious but not quite afraid for herself - every bit of terror she felt was attached to a name, and though she was only equipped with a large branch at the moment, she would find a way to protect them.

Her feet moved swiftly, ceaselessly, until she turned the corner, her eyes falling on Will at the end of the block. She smiled, short but bright, a moment of happiness allowed to her that he was okay before the fear could set back him. She crossed her chest in a blessing as she rushed his way. “I should not be surprised you would head out in this.” She sighed. “And I shall be properly upset at you for that in a moment. Right now I’m just glad to see you’re still okay.” @will-turnerx​

While Will was usually brave this was something much greater than him. Dueling pirates were one thing...monsters were another. They didn’t even seem human. However it didn’t matter. He wasn’t going to sit idly by and let those things wreak havoc upon his home and innocent civilians. Will Turner was an honorable man and if it were his time to lay down his life than he’d do it to protect his fellow man. That was just who he was.

He carried his most favorable sword along with him. It was sheathed at the moment but he had to if he wanted to move within the shadows quickly enough. Will Turner wasn’t stupid. He wouldn’t throw himself into the claws of a monster so carelessly. Will would roam with caution until the monsters were distracted or terrorizing a civilian then he’d rush in and land a strike. It wasn’t a well thought out plan, but it was something.

Will’s eyes scanned his surroundings for a moment before he took his next step. However it was cut short when he saw Emily at the other end of the alley way. His breath halted as he became uneasy with the overwhelming feeling of dread. Frightened that she was in danger he was preparing himself to fight. Hovering his hand over the handle of his sword. Instead she flashed a bright smile and for a moment the tension in Wills muscles relaxed and his shoulders fell almost instantly. It was then that his feet began to move before he even had time to think. Immediately he was rushing with haste towards her. Meeting her halfway he outstretched his arms and grabbed her by the shoulders with his firm grip. He wasn’t rough but he felt as if he needed the reassurance that she was really there with him. “Miss Loreley...” He greeted softly, then all at once letting out a much needed sigh of relief. 

Her comment managed a large grin to pull at his lips. The two were surrounded by complete and utter chaos and yet all William could see was her. “I could say the same to you.” He inquired with a raised brow as he noticed that her knuckles were wrapped tightly around a tree branch. “Surely you’re not planning to fight with that right?” He commented with an ever so small worrisome smile. “But you’re alright though, yes?” His voice softened as he brushed a strand of stray hair from her features.

Exhausted. Absolutely tired.

It had been a long time since he’d been this tired. He was glad that he had taken the season off in anticipation but now he was left running the Pit Stop on his own. He had Vitani an a couple of other employees but he was still pretty understaffed. He also regretted the bright idea of having a restaurant during the day and the bar at night. With working most of the day and helping with a newborn at night, he was spread pretty thin. He was tending the bar tonight though, Vitani did deserve a couple of days after all.

“Gimme a minute, I’ll be right with ya.” Monty said as he worked on pouring the drinks from a pervious order. He was glad for business but damn, did he just want a nap right now. He managed a smile anyway, “Busy night. How can I help you?”

Walking towards the bar he sat in front of Monty waiting for the man to look up and notice his presence. Once he did Will offered a friendly smile and shook his head. “No, I’m quite fine. You on the other hand. Maybe I should be offering you a drink instead.” He joked noticing the apparent exhaustion from the mans expression. “I wanted to say congratulations.”
