#008 Divine Retribution [PLOT]

[Deleted]

[googlefont=Roboto]

A light in the shadows, mist and steam as the coolness of the air clashed with the warm earth of the active Volcano. The gods were persistent in their ways of trying to stop this evil in its tracks, and if it meant the casualties of civilians, then so be it.

With one priestess brought to the world in the lush greens of Hyrule, another appeared with stone and lava. Bright orange was her aura, cast out like a blinding light on the surface of the mountain, as she stood over the view of the mountain range below. Goron City to the West. The villages to the east. 

With enough power, she would be able to cause the volcano to erupt on its own.

She firmly pressed her feet into the ground, the earth quaking and shaking the world around them - tremors sent out for miles as she let out a powerful screech. 

"The Goddesses command this. I will paint this world in red."

She lifted her feet from the ground, levitating in the air as a flame consumed her. With the wave of her hands, she caused the earth beneath her to cave in, bright laval forming at the surface.

HESTIAR
PRIESTESS OF FIRE

NOTE: This is a DEATH ENABLED boss battle controlled by DEBISIS, therefore he will NOT be able to join with any of her characters. There are FIVE slots for characters and a post by HESTIAR will be made every 24 HOURS or when the cycle has finished. There is NO POSTING ORDER. 

Each boss has a weakness, and it is your job to find it and execute a plan of attack. May the odds be ever in your favor.

"To the skies! Today, we fight fire."

As the lava began to spew forth from the ground, there was a change in the atmosphere in the area, subtle but noticeable, and clearly not natural. It blew against the wind's original direction, towards the Priestess, and through the cloud cover, something breached, a streak of royal blue and white. She would see the figure tuck in what seemed to be a hybrid of wings and arms, and dive towards her.

If she hadn't have been in her ancestral form, Tiaris would be snarling at the offender, watching her rend the earth at will. The Goddess' command? As much as she didn't want to believe it, the sight before her proved as much. No mere mortal could wield this magic without divine intervention.

So Din has forsaken us completely. You have gifted me with life, o Goddess, but I won't let you take that away from me.

She stopped her descent, angling her wings in such a way that she was able to hover on her personal gale of wind, and looked back. Her tailwind was starting to taper off, but as it did, more Rito followed her, and she let out a chuckle, before turning in midair to face her adversary.

"Valiant Rito warriors! What we fight is not of this world, but one higher than ours! But do not be deterred, we are not a people to be trodden on! The enemy may have lava, but we have the benefit of the skies! Use the rising heat to fly as you need. Advance!"

She drew her blade, metal sliding from its sheath, and took it in both feathered hands, sighing, before making eye contact with the Priestess.

"When I'm finished with you, and you see Din once again, tell her who sent you, if you keep your head."

WE ARE GUIDED BY A TRAIL OF DUST AND ASH

She wasn't planning on doing anything. At least, not anything like this. She had returned home for the first time in a couple weeks, to visit with those she held dear, when she had heard the commotion from the palace. There was a strange force sent to the world below - as if meteorites were blazing through the atmosphere into the world below.

Many wondered what it was - a notice that loud, and yet all they could witness was a glimmer of light descending to the surface beneath the clouds. It nearly threw her back with the force of the gales, and she stumbled over the ledge to look down at the billowing clouds below.

Whatever it was, it was able to break through the barrier of clouds. She had a strange feeling; something wasn't right about the force of light. There were two that fell rather far from each other, and yet they seemed perfectly in sync with one another. A divine being? A force of nature?

There was nothing natural about it.

She got to her feet as she rushed toward the flight docks, where there were three others preparing to descend. They too were discussing the unnatural force that plowed into the surface. There weren't any words exchanged between them, but Vitani made note that the others assumed the roles as the Matriarch and two of her elites.

From the looks of it, they were taking all the volunteers they could, and no one was willing to investigate. So of course, Vita obliged.

---

They took form with gravity, and while two lights scattered - one to the mountains and one to the forest, they all aimed their sights on the one landing upon the volcano. Whatever it may be; dangerous as it was, it could cause an eruption far more detrimental than whatever landed in the forest.

She had her throwing knives in range, though there wasn't much they'd be able to do to something this... wait, what was it?

They drew closer to the surface and a woman of fire came into view. A magical sorceress of sorts. She drew lava from her surroundings, intending for it to go somewhere... it would be their duty to make sure it came nowhere near the villages.

With a flap of her wings, she moved in a spiral formation, the wind catching behind her in a minor vortex to boost her speed as she began to soar around the priestess. With one flick of her hand, she threw forward a few needle pointed blades.

[attr="class","smdbody3"]Ati had left with her Matriarch, feeling the change in the air had sent an electric energy through the young Rito; there was a fight coming. She could practically smell it. Without any hesitation, Ati followed closely as Tiaris shifted and they flew down to the disturbance. The volcano below them, with the beginnings of an eruption, her sharp eyes making out the woman at its source. "She doesn't stand a chance, Chief." Ati pronounces boldly, grinning with the thrill of a fight. With a large flap of her wings and the advantage of rising air, Ati soars higher into the sky until she can barely feel the heat below, turns head over heel, and dives. Black wings close in tight and like a sleek black arrow Ati dives headfirst into the fray. Half-way to her decent, she thumbs the grip of her sword and in one smooth motion draws it off her hips and aims for her slice. The red of her blade glints perfectly against the shades of red and orange of the volcano, a slash of red through the air streaking Ati's black form.  At an almost dangerously low altitude, Ati cries out and draws her blade up in one motion and down as her wings spread wide, catching enough updraft to send her right side up as her blade strikes downwards.

There was something not right with the world.
[break][break]
Whatever presence it was that plagued the lands below the clouds could be felt even in the soaring city. The particles of scattered as that had somehow made their way to far into the sky set many of the rito on edge, Bantha was no exception. Her purple feathers severely ruffled at the sudden heaviness in the air and a sense of impending... well, she couldn't rightly say.
[break][break]
But it wasn't good, that much was evident.
[break][break]
Bantha relished in the sensation of her free fall before angling herself to join Tiaris, Ati and Vitani in their descent beyond the barrier of clouds. The weight of the bow resting on her back a comfort in the face of whatever they were about to encounter.
[break][break]
The closer she drew to the earth the easier it was to register the great heat through the chill of the wind. Amber eyes set their sights on Death Mountain and the fiery priestess who's intentions were clearly malicious. "Show off", Bantha commented blithely to herself concerning the priestess' display of magic, though her expression was stoically set. "But will of the goddesses or otherwise, it'd be bad for even us rito if the mountain erupted."
[break][break]
With her matriarch's advice taken to heart Bantha made good use of the hot hair rising from the coaxed pools of lava, the extra lift providing a distance that worked in the rito's favour with regards to her combat style.
[break][break]
A shift in her weight and Bantha maneuvered through the air, gaze keen to locate a blind-spot in the fire beings' bearing. Not having to flap her wings gave her ample opportunity to draw her bow, arrow nocked and string pulled taught she narrowed her aim before taking the shot on Tiaris' order; wings splaying a split second after ward to maintain her airborne position.

How many times now have I been cut up and torn apart and seen my hope turn to despair? This time I promise I'll be strong, so hold tightly to my hand now. The cue to raise the curtain echoes and I dance through another repetition, unable to do anything else. The conclusion of the story that weaves this world will be for your sake alone.

-- I will bear your pain *

The volcano, a place the luminous haired Zora considered almost as unpleasant as the vast desert. To her it was a dry and lifeless place; a place she preferred to avoid if she could. Today she, however, didn't have the luxury of a choice as she set forth in search of a Goron blacksmith in hope of obtaining new weapons for the Rogue Order. Ever since she had left the pleasantly green paths of Hyrule's valleys an unpleasant sensation had accompanied. Making her way across the stony trails leading up the mountain her motions came to an abrupt halt as something falling from the sky attracted her attention. The moment the strange object disappeared from view an equally unusual and unpleasant gust of hot air made its way down the hillside, causing a deep sigh to force its way past Nylea's lips.

Dumbstruck and clueless alike, the female remained motionless, trying to understand what she had just witnessed. The resounding voice that suddenly echoed across the area immediately sent shivers down her spine. The goddesses? What was going on? The moment Lea noticed the figures of several Rito dashing through the veil of clouds in what seemed like an attempt of engaging whatever had spoken only moments before, her body had instinctively taken a step back. Her instincts told her to run, but would that have made a difference? She had absolutely no idea what was going on, but something within the depths of her soul told her that there was nowhere to run. Firmly wrapping her fingers around her spear she tried to calm her pacing heart before then dashing into the direction she expected to find the threat that had apparently descended from the sky. Running as fast as her legs carried her, she couldn't help, but notice the increasing heat that drove pearls of sweat onto her forehead.

Finally arriving at a small rock prominence her eyes immediately fell upon the woman clad in flames. Just looking at whatever this creature was filled her with awe and caused her aqua spheres to tremble in disbelief. Had this being really descended in order to end the world as she knew it? If so, then running truly held no meaning and the least thing she could do was try to protect the world that her beloved one tried to conquer. Unsure if the group of Rito had already noticed her presence she, however, decided to keep her distance for the moment as she didn't want to rush in only to be greeted by a violent torrent of flames and lava. Even if she wanted to fight what seemed like a personification of a force of nature the snow haired female had absolutely no idea if one could even fight an opponent like that. The Ritos at least seemed confident that they could fight and even though she wasn't too sure when it came to the feathered creatures, she was glad that she wasn't alone with this threat.

I keep repeating this small prayer. Only… only for you to be happy. Even if I soon won't have much of a future left, I want to keep protecting what is important to me. For that, I will defy even the gods and commit sins without balking at them or doubting my actions.

The fiery priestess immediately turned to the leader of the rito people. Before she had time to make a move in her direction, she was met with knives to her skin. Letting out a roar in protest, she moved in a circular motion as lava and rocks began to surround her.

She was met with more offense. Looking down, another rito with a blade gnashing at her lower end. They were coming from all angles. Arrows began flying in her direction as she turned, to which she gasped and immediately deflected them with a boulder.

No, this wouldn't do.

"You want to dance? I'll show you a dance!" Hestiar snickered. Soaring high into the air, she mimicked Vitani's vortex gale with lava, trailing it behind her as she moved to follow behind the soaring Rito. As several molten hot rocks followed in a circular shield around her, she cut into Vitani's current, interrupting the flow before sending rocks in Tiaris's direction.

"Beware of the gusts left behind by my fire. You may find you cannot control where it takes you~" With the snap of her fingers, her eyes became red. Her hands began to manipulate the flow of the lava, following each gust that followed behind the Rito...

except for Vitani.

She trailed behind her, catching up to her movements before taking hold of her leg and launching her toward Tiaris.

She turned down to see the Zora. The inferior version of the flock.

With hands raised high, she halted in the air, and she made the earth rumble before her.

Boulders began bludgeoning into the world below. There would hopefully be enough time to take cover or dodge.

Alright. So Bantha's arrows didn't make that much of an impact. She might not have been expecting much of one to begin with - they hit at least - but it was still frustrating. The firemonger wasn't kidding either about the updrafts either. The rito warrior could gradually feel the tension in her wings, energy spend angling them to keep her at an agreeable leveled altitude.
[break][break]
And now the supposed goddess was airborne herself. Perfect!
[break][break]
Bantha's eyes drifted down toward the zora who had stumbled upon their party barely a moment ago, hers was a presence that made the rito worry somewhat. But not ebough to forget the tast at hand. Even so, why was a zora treading so close to death mountain? A query that could wait until after the battle. Provided they won.
[break][break]
"Vitani!" Bantha cried out in worry seeing the fellow rito tossed toward Tiaris. Gritting her teeth Bantha turned to Hestia and was prepared to fire another volley of arrows. Until the earth began to shake, giving her pause. "Grr, there's too much going on I can't pin down an opening." she scoffed. The falling rocks weren't much for her to worry about, being aloft. The zora however.
[break][break]
Golden eyes narrowed in on the water-dweller. Swiftly, the rito dropped close as she could to her and motioned to her back. "On, quick." It was unusual for Bantha to be so selfless to a person not of her kind, but in the case of a mutual enemy there was room for flexibility. Her crouched stance and spread wings emphasized haste and if the zora didn't come to a decision soon Bantha would sooner take off and dodge the rocks; leaving her to her own means.

The sky weeped stone, and for once i felt fear, but exhilaration came too

All began as planned. The Rito had managed to blindside the being manipulating the fire, but it was never going to be as simple by winning on a simple advantage such as that. Her eyes were locked on the priestess as she acted, defending accordingly, and suddenly Tiaris' vision was obstructed by rocks hurled in her direction. She outstretched her wings, feeling the warm air from the lava catch under them, and with a flap of her wings, she pushed skyward, over the projectiles. What she didn't expect, however, was to see the priestess grab Vitani and hurl the Rito in her direction.

The allure of wind once again took her, and she willed her own gust to leave her, instead stopping Vitani, a breeze that righted her erratic flight. However, her focus was so much on saving her comrade that she didn't notice the volcano's fury falling upon her until the last second. In the seconds before a rock came barrelling down on her, she called back her wind, trying to push her clear of the rock, but the sharp pain in her shoulder brought stars to her eyes. She let out a cry, eyes clenching, and all would see her shift from her ancestral form.

And then, she fell, plummeting from the sky. As she felt herself being pulle ddown, she panicked, the feeling all too familiar. She tried to focus on her magic returning to her, but every wave of pain that coursed through her cut her attention off. She was going to die if she hit the ground, she knew that. Gritting her teeth, she tried once again.

A heartbeat, and a memory. A memory of flying.

No pain is too great. I have already felt it all.

A flash of magic lit what seemed to be the impact point where she landed, and wind burst forth, the flow of magma hardening in its area. When the steam dissipated, Tiaris stood, hovering on a tempest of her own, feet just touching ground. She was still in her original form, and as she glared at the witch, she reached to her right shoulder, pushing it back into place where it was clearly out. There was a loud pop, and a wince from her, but she flexed her hand, able to move it.

Good. If it could move, it could fire a bow. A flick of the button on the holster, and the bow dropped into her grasp. A finger hooked in the loop holding her quiver shut, and she looked around, making a game plan.

Boulders scattered the lava-strewn battlefield. That could be her advantage there. Without hesitation, she jumped upon one with assistance from her wind, moving from boulder to boulder with great leaps, until she was close enough to the priestess, and fired three arrows, breaths apart, one arching high, the other two directly at her adversary. Knowing she couldn't do much more, she turned to jump away, creating a corkscrewing vortex as her ancestral magic triggered again, changing her form. She caught it, rising, but winced when she tried to flap higher. Her wing needed time to heal, so she was left to gliding away towards her allies, hovering near them.

"Our enemy plays in three dimensions as well. I shall ensure the winds favor you, it's your job to pick her apart. Go!"

[attr="class","smdbody3"]She had definitely not expected the woman to take to the skies so like her own kind. And that close to her, Ati spiraled away, the hot air working against her dark wings. She pushed herself upwards, sword lowered as she raced to beat the divine woman up into the air. This was her turf after all. Ati was spiraling up in the air, doing her best to use the hot air to her advantage when she turns and watches as Vitani is grabbed and mercilessly thrown at her matriarch. Ati watched as Tiaris shifted from her ancestral form and plummeted. "Tiaris!" the girl screamed, forgetting the ancient being and diving towards her leader. So concentrated on making sure Tiaris was alive, Ati barely noticed the cyclone of lava that chased after her until it was singing her wings and beginning to warm her skin far too much. The jet black Rito stared behind her for an instant and swore foul enough to send shivers up any civilized person's spine. In a move that had the potential to break anyone's wings on attempt, Ati bee-lined upwards throwing every ounce of energy into the push of her wings flapping ever higher before banking sharply as the lava sailed past her. Singing her outer wings as it passed. It was then that Ati noticed the Zora on the ground, just as Bantha landed to help her. Strange addition to this party, but any help works. Ati thinks, and turns her attention back to the priestess as Tiaris fixes her shoulder in a move that makes the young Rito cringe and then launch into action. Ati glides down to her leader, flapping gently as she meets up with her. "We need a coordinated plan. This bitch won't go down if we're just throwing ourselves at her."

The snow topped Zora must have resembled a pillar of salt as she stood there motionlessly, only her azure spheres moving within their opaque, fibrous layers as she watched the battle unfold above her. The assault by the group of Ritos was fended off with a combination of molten rocks and lava; a mixture that seemed to move according to the creature's hand movements; watching a being manipulate forces of nature like this simply filled Nylea with awe. What could she possibly do? The self-proclaimed servant had risen into the air as well and thereby entirely out of reach for the Zora, who couldn't fly and was only armed with a spear. At least it seemed as if the monstrous being hadn't noticed her presence due to the fearless attacks led by the feathered beings keeping her occupied.

However, the moment that irrelevantly small sensation of relief washed over the ivory haired woman, the ground beneath her feet suddenly began to shake, causing her to rely on her spear in order to prevent her slender frame from being sent to the ground. Having found a stable footing Lea once again raised her gaze, noticing yet another motion of the being's hands that was followed by rapidly descending boulders. Seeing the incoming objects she was about to set her body in motion when one of the Ritos appeared next to her, urging her to get on her back. Not hesitating the slightest second, the young warrior followed the offer, jumping and got onto the feathered creature's back. "Thanks!" More than happy to be offered a ride allowing her to escape the most likely deadly projectiles, the ivory haired woman held on tight.

With her eyes focused on the mighty opponent Nylea had entirely missed the fall of the Rito Matriach, which had almost ended in the same's demise. The moment a voice echoed across the sky calling for a coordinated plan, the Zora raised her voice, making sure that her makeshift comrades would be able to hear her. "It seems like that thing needs its hands to manipulate the rocks and lava. We should either try to attack her simultaneously from different angles or somehow bind her hands." Nylea would have preferred to share this information with her temporary party in a way that prevented the monster in question from eavesdropping on their plan, but there was no time to slowly spread the information amongst her airborne allies. She just hoped that they would somehow make it out of this mess and that this creature's existence didn't mark the end of Hyrule.

I keep repeating this small prayer. Only… only for you to be happy. Even if I soon won't have much of a future left, I want to keep protecting what is important to me. For that, I will defy even the gods and commit sins without balking at them or doubting my actions. @ati | @bantha | Tiaris † | @vitani

WE ARE GUIDED BY A TRAIL OF DUST AND ASH

Why was it chasing her!?

Everytime she looked back, it was closer, and closer.

The lava was hot; but it wasn't burning her from the air. As long as it didn't touch her, she would be fine. She soard about, trying to find a good distance to regain her targeting, but took note of the lava that shot up from the ground and into each of the Ritos' currents. Was it gaining on her?

One last turn around--she gasped. A simmering hand grasped onto her leg, before yanking her from her direction and whirling her forward. She couldn't breathe, and she hardly had time to scream before she was plunging into Tiaris's direction.

Before she could even try and fly away, she was then moved back by a gust of wind, and she began spiraling toward the ground, feeling heavy.

Was this what it would come to? Was this thing trying to show off? This kind of display was really pissing her off. She grunted in annoyance, her hands reaching out and spanning as far as they could before she ascended once more, aerial movements to avoid the tumbling rocks that came at her with no mercy.

"I've had enough of your stupid little dances!" she growled. She glided up, and a vortex of air opened beneath her, a twister of forceful gales connecting with the ground and allowing her to move to higher altitudes. She had hoped the tornado of wind would be strong enough to pull the tumbling rocks away from the others.

"Her skin is soft like flesh. We can penetrate it if we all work together to attack in multiple directions!"

LETS GET IT BITCHES

The fiery priestess immediately turned to the leader of the rito people. Before she had time to make a move in her direction, she was met with knives to her skin. Letting out a roar in protest, she moved in a circular motion as lava and rocks began to surround her.

As the boulders rained down onto the surface below, the Rito's made good on avoiding their contact... other than the unfortunate incident with Tiaris. As she had managed to save her comrade from slamming into her, she was then met with the heavy impact of a scoulding rock.

Even with heat resistance, the touch of lava was too much for a Rito. The impact mixed with the magma would hurt. She was able to relieve herself from the pain and moved out of the way of other impacts on the bright side.

[Tiaris † DISLOCATED SHOULDER, MODERATE]

The squad seemed scattered, disorganized even. The lack of effort on Hestiar's part seemed to be working swimmingly as they fumbled about on what to do next. The Zora was now on the back of one of the Rito as they ascended higher up and the other Rito met with an attempt of coordinating.

Ths would not do, now would it. The lava shields that levitated around her body continued to pulsate with flames as she looked about for the last of the five. Where did she go? The one she originally had grasped before.

Suddenly, a tornado of air appeared in the center of the cavern and she was met with an opposing force of wind that was enough to budge her movements. Her tumbling rocks began sucking into the vortex, moving from their original path, and the lava spewing from the surface was suddenly cooled into stone.

Hestiar could barely believe it. She looked up at the Rito woman with curiosity as to how she created such a powerful updraft that was now spiraling toward her.

She narrowed her eyes, following the screaming bird before darting in the air toward her, hands spanned out as more lavarocks appeared in her circle. Pushing her hands forward, the fiery stones all forced themselves into her direction before slamming her back into the air.

[@vitani , BROKEN NOSE, MINOR]

She turned back to the flock with eyes engulfed with crimson rage. "This is your final warning. Leave this place before I burn you with the rest!"

Hope is not lost.

Rito were always taught that a single bird couldn't take down a lion, but a flock of birds can. Trust in one's comrades was the key to success.

And it was high time that Tiaris remembered those lessons.

With a grimace, she rolled her hurt shoulder, gauging the extent of the pain. It stung, but was usable. She would definitely need it patched up when she returned to the City in the Sky, and would have to make sure she didn't injure it further.

But that was no matter. Her bow was stored away, locked in place on the small of her back, and she reached for something else instead, calling out as she did.

"Bantha, Vitani, on me! Ati, follow behind me. Zora, do what you can when we get close."

Before the priestess could register her words, the gusts under her feet faded, and instead she caught a tailwind, rocketing towards the priestess, a projectile from the humans. There was molten rock between her and the divine woman, but she had a secret weapon.


Once on top speed, she spread her wings, wincing as her shoulder tugged, but as she did, she hurled something forward, a boomerang stylized as a pair of wings, and it pulled her gale with her. She still flew forward as fast as she did before thanks to momentum, but all her wind magic was focused on the Gale Boomerang she threw forward at the magma shield. 

"Come in close!"

She grit her teeth as the Boomerang got closer and closer to the wall of molten rock, knowing she had to do this at just the right time, and seconds before impact, let the magic around the weapon go wild, the wind bursting from around it, howling, in all directions. The force in which the tornado around it was like a second-long hurricane, but that was all she needed. 

As the winds scattered the magma shield around the blast zone, the Gale Boomerang flew through, its magic still locked onto its intended target: Hestair. And as it came towards her, Tiaris banked to the right, gesturing to the others.

"Ati, up! Vitani, left! Bantha, on me!"

Steel slid against steel as her sword was drawn in her good hand, and her gale returned to her, catching her as a tailwind, corkscrewing her around to be behind the priestess. Her boomerang, regardless of contact or not, returned to her, but she neglected to throw it again, instead feeling that wispy breeze at her feet, and she pushed upwards, a typhoon bringing her upwards, inside the priestess' shield. She would take a swing at Hestair as she ascended, wincing as her bad wing was briefly her only support.

Then, she ascended, watching to see what the other Rito would do

I swear her magic isn't just a Revali's gale ripoff

[attr="class","smdbody3"] Tiaris always had a plan, even if it took some time to create it. Her Matriarch could always come up with one. So Ati takes her for her word and glides back up in the air, tanking the flank position around her Matriarch. She waits for the others of her kind to form up, and they take off. She wants to protest, being in the back when she always wanted to be forward, always wanted to strike first and fast. But trying to take down this priestess was more important than her pride. A few ruffled feathers could wait. She takes off as Tiaris does, banking along the hot gusts of wind and keeping up with the group. She angles her wings enough to keep up speed, especially when Tiaris picks up speed, the wings of her ancestral form spread and she throws something. A boomerang. Ati watches in amazement the small hurricane this object creates, how it tries to shake the priestess and weaken her stone and magma barrier. And on Tiaris' word, Ati goes up. Two strong pumps of her wings and Ati hits a gust of wind and sails high. The Rito synchronized as they each took a different direction, and Ati drew her sword out, and plunged down at the top half of the fiery woman. "She's still just flesh, divine magic or no. We can take her." Ati yells, and instead of one strike, Ati spreads her wings and strikes multiple times. She throws her energy and weight into each strike.
