[???]

Three golems lay dead and crumbled on the floor. Their giant, powerful forms reduced to rubble. The sillouhette of a man could just be seen through the gloom, walking away from the creatures shattered remains, the gling of gold around his wrists and ankles, a faint, blue glow in his eyes. The dropping of blood from his right arm.

"How pathetic... Suffering an injury like this from Golems. Have I really not progressed? Despite the burden I carry, I had thought, after all these years, that I might be able to regain some of my former power, if only a little... But to be injured like this? Pathetic..." The man muttered as he made his way across the deslote landscape. "How much longer must I suffer this... How much longer will your curse control me, Deity of Summer, Procella Lapis..."

[Lily - Florenspira: Capital City of Florens]

The sun was starting to set as the day came to it's close over the capital city. Lily was sat in a large, almost deserted garden on the western side of the city. Neat rows of trees lined the elegant paths through the garden, entering from six points around the outside of the area, each path meeting at the center, where there stood a large church. There were four such places, one at each point of the compass, within the city, each holding a chuch associated with one of the four Deities. It was the only place in the world that featured all four churches in such close proximity to one another.

As Lily sat, awaiting the night, she felt movement behind her. Her stalker had arrived. She sat silently for several more minutes as the last rays of light left the sky. Numerous stars sparkled in the sky overhead, and the light from the two moons cast an eerie glow over the garden. Lily stood and walked into an open area of grass, before turning and looking into the shadows of the nearby trees.

"There is no one here now but us. Why don't you reveal yourself already. It is useless to hide when your target is aware of you."
"I was merely being cautious." Replied a deep, gruff voice from the shadows. "It is unwise to approach someone of your calibre without taking necessary precautions."

A tall figure, some eleven feet tall at least, emerged from the darkness. Lily deduced he must have some form of shadow-based skill. She couldn't see any other way such a huge figure could remain hidden for so long. The man was clothed primarlly in black, with red trim around his long, black jacket, and golden designs along both sleeves. His hair was long and scarlet, his eyes burning with fire. Two golden horns protruded from his hair, and Lily caught the glint of two rows of sharp teeth.

"A demon? Wonderful." Lily said, her relaxed voice expressing just how unintimidating she found the large demon before her. "So to what do I owe this pleasure? Your kind inhabit the depths of Nigerautumunus. Why would one such as you venture all the way out here, just to follow me?"
"We are aware of who you are. We are aware of what it is you have done. And we are aware of what it is you will do."
"Great. The cryptic speech of demons. I don't have the time nor the patience for riddles. Speak plain or I will not hesitate to remove you from my sight in the most painful fashion I can devise." Lily said. The demon merely bowed as she said this.
"My apologies. I have been sent by the Cult of Umbranox to locate you and pass on a message. We know that you are searching for the answers to your past, and we have information reguarding this that will help you."
"Riddles..." Lily muttered. The demon winced slightly upon seeing the glint in the angel's eyes.
"I mean to say, the Cult of Umbranox has unearthed an anceint tomb. We cannot progress further within, as it is abundant in numerous deadly traps, none of which can pass with our skill. However, we have found one glyph which we were able to decipher. The glyph... It has your name engraved upon it."
"My name..? Why would my name be engraved within a tomb of such deadliness that not even the Cult of Umbranox can enter?" Lily asked, now intrigued by the information.
"That, we do not know. The tomb merely mentioned yourself, and the Deity of Autumn. There appears to be more, but it is too worn to be translated now. I was sent to inform you of this, and to ask in your assistance. We wish for you to enter the tomb and unlock the secrets within. We believe you are the only person capable of doing this."
"And you think I may find my answers within this tomb?"
"That is what we believe, yes."
"Then tell me demon. Why does the Cult care about me? What is it to them if I recover my past or not? And I suggest you answer swiftly and void of riddles."
"I am sorry, but I cannot divulge all the information of the Cult. You should understand this, as a former member yourself. But what I can say is that your past is intricately connected to the future of this world, for a darkness that once shrouded the continents is emerging and very few can now stop it. You must rediscover yourself if we stand any chance of progressing to a future not void of life."

The demon stopped speaking as he noticed a faint mist in the air about him. He sighed and bowed his head once more.

"My apologies..." He managed to mutter before the mist thickened and encased his body in ice. Lillith walked over to him and tapped the demon on the shoulder with one of her sheathed swords. The demon crumbled and shattered on the floor. Lily scowled at his broken form.

"I said no riddles." She said quietly, before turning and walking from the garden. She left the garden and started heading to the eastern side of the city. There she could hire a cart to take her to the eastern sea, and from there, a ship to the continent of Nigerautumunus, where she may find at least some answers...

[OOC - One more point I will make, and I will add this to the first post just to clear it up. You all have the ability to manipulate your elements at will. Your unique skills are simply abilities with those elements only you possess. You are not limited to just those three abilities.]
