Unseen by all, the tall, dark lady sashayed through the black portal, she watched the chaos around the island, smirking at the flailing mortals. The smell of darkness was delicious, but this was rank, offending the goddesses senses.
A magnificent crack echoed across the sky, rivaling even the best thunderstorm. Shock waves from the boom ripped through the island. And then there was silence.
For a few minutes, all that existed was that silence and a pure, unadulterated darkness that threatened to choke the last breath from all pae touched by the influence. The solid forms and apparitions, just for a moment, grew in size and strength, ready to strike. Until...
The dark miasma was yanked into Persophone's portal without warning, nearly pulling all that existed within. In the wake of the nightmare, all was revealed. Slain bats scattered all around, cherubs crawling and reaching for salvation, unsanctioned marriages and ... what were those things?
Depends on which pae you ask of the Venus Day 2017 celebrations what happened. Some tell the tale of this day with a discovery of a new type of brethren. Some tell of the horror they found from the underworld, and some even will say they were scarred for life when they saw them goin' at it in the corner.
Persephone stood at her portal, casually yawning into her hand and then brushing her nails against her dress. She held in her hand the only good wing of the Goddess of Chaos. Persephone held Eris high, as she tried to escape the shackles from the underworld. Bound and gagged, she was mostly powerless.
She tossed Eris into the portal and the dark tendrils writhed and wrapped around her as they drew her further into their grasp, sending Eris to the underworld.
"You're welcome," she said to the pae, "Treat my babies right."
But before she left the celebration, she turned to Venus and gave her a wink. I'll be back for him next fall."
The thunderbird perched in his gilded cage, calm and curious. The thunderstorm succeeded when his temper cooled. In the jungle, all around him, stood females. His body was ready.

Discovered after the dark illusion was dispelled by Persephone, were her special helpers. These creatures are pae, but small, like Tikicats. They are considered mini Pae. They have bat-like features, but are indeed pae. They where masks made of bone from the underworld. They have bad eyesight, relying on echolocation. They are strict vegetarians, preferring fruit.
They were only here for the party, trying to find the buffet.
IT's BASKI
[ These are just like tikicats, and have the same breeding rules: only males can make babies with other pae. Females can only make babies with other pae of their size. ]
All harpy players:
Now is your chance to woo the thunderbird. Roll a random number between 1-100. If you get a double-digit number (11, 22, 33, 44, etc) you win a breeding with him, and a chance for a male harpy. Roll in this thread and please don't delete your post.
*Male harpy baby not guaranteed, and we take no responsibility if your birb gets fried.
Kelebek slid forward with the shifting sand, her only reaction a little giggle as Hjortur conveniently fell on top of her. Cheeky.
She'd been flirty before, but now that he was so close she could feel the heat from his skin, her own mind became brackish with only thoughts of needing him. She touched his face, his arms, his chest, leaned up into him for a kiss.
She wasn't quite sure what to do with her legs--in the water she'd entwine her tail with his, a thought that made her heart race, but these legs...experimentally she caressed his leg with one of her own. The sensation quivered upward pleasantly. That would certainly do for now.
Kelebek was blissfully unaware of the sand continuing to shift beneath her body, sliding more toward the inky-black water, and a huge monster that had risen from it...
...And she was still unaware when suddenly everything went dark again--she'd closed her eyes and gone in for another kiss, her hands twining up through Hjortur's hair and holding him to her. She'd never felt so...hungry for this in her life, and every touch, every kiss, even every look from him made her melt and become fire all at once.
Dysmas yelled as the spider descended upon him and Sweetie without much warning. "Sweetie!" He yelled, thinking only of her and his cravings for her. If he ever wanted to make love to her again, to do all those things that she had confessed to him, he needed to get them out of this situation.
"Not today, Spider!" He taunted it as it clicked it's little mouth-y feelers at him. He was not going to let this giant spider be his buzz-kill (or the death of him). Dysmas still had his clothes and the rope in his hand, so he made quick work with those. First, Dysmas threw his clothes, trying his best to cover up it's 8 eyes, and maybe occupy it's mouth so that it wasn't feeding on them.
The spider began moving and thrashing around angrily, trying to lose the clothes, and Dysmas managed to slip away. He took his shiny golden lasso and threw it at the spider, enclosing it in the rope. It wasn't enough to stop the spider, the spider was so large. Yet, for some unexplainable reason the spider stopped.
The spider began chittering and chuffing at Dysmas, it was almost as if the spider was speaking to him, but of course Dysmas couldn't understand any of it. Dysmas side-glanced at Sweetie, giving her a look of confusion. Wow, she was sexy, even with that panicked look on her face. Dysmas could care less that the world was falling down around them, that they couldn't just have a normal, uneventful, trip away from home. He wanted her.
But there was still the spider to deal with, though it was rather occupied going on and on about seas know what.
Just as suddenly as the spider had attacked them, it was suddenly being pulled away from them, along with the black goo that coated the jungle. The spider was lifted into the sky, being dragged by some unknown force towards the resort. The black goo disappeared, the spider did not. Of course, the spider was still lasso'd and Dysmas held onto the other end of the rope, flying the spider like a kite. The male looked at the spider, and his eyes traveled along the rope until he got to his hand, the only think anchoring the spider to the earth. "Hm." Looking back up at the spider, Dysmas let go of the rope and watched as the spider got sucked away, the rope along with it, until he could no longer see it.
When the spider and the goo was gone, Dysmas looked back over at Sweetie with raised eyebrows and a smirk on his face. Now that the imminent danger was gone, they could get on to much more important things.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was several hours before Dysmas emerged from the jungle with Sweetie in tow. The sun was coming up, and for the most part things were cleaned up and looking back to normal. The sweat and mud was thick on his skin and matted in Dysmas' beautiful, long hair. It only made sense to move their session into the showers. Dysmas was giggling like a school girl as they made their way back to the resort, but the giggling did not escape the attention of a certain black-haired deity and as Dysmas and Sweetie passed by him, Dysmas felt himself calm down.
"Wow, I can't believe what happened." Dysmas spoke to Sweetie, realization dawning his face. Dysmas continued to lead them back to their room, but now his only desire was to get clean real quick and go to bed. He felt completely exhausted.
As they stepped outside of the resort it was like they had been teleported to hell itself. Spirits save them. She stared at the horror before them. Tar trees, blood shot skies. bubbling water. It was like their world had been flipped.
She stepped closer to Cabel as all hell broke loose. There were suddenly bat like creatures in the air all around them, The sound of flapping wings and high pitched screeches filled the air. Zinerva waved the torch around in the air to keep the bats away from them. "Cabel!" Other pae had taken to fighting the bats, others ran. What should they do?
And then the chaos was dispelled. Everything was at piece again...Well the bat things were still there but they seemed more friendly? She...Didn't know anymore... She let loud sigh of relief and leaned into Cabel, hiding her face in his neck. "I need a vacation after this vacation."
===========================================
The fae was shaking in fear as her eyes focused on the horror before her. She took a few steps back into Seiya for comfort and protection and she let out a whimper or terror. Beads of water formed at the corners of her eyes as her breath quickened. Everything was horrible...The water...What happened to the water? It was so different now...So twisted..It shook her to her core.
"This...No...This...This can't be real...I...I..." Nimue started to sob as her knees became weak and she fell to the ground. Other around them started to run and then there were bats...But she couldn't process any of it. All she could do was cover her head and sob loudly. The poor fae couldn't handle this level of...Corruption.
Just as fast as the nightmare started it was pulled away, but Nimue still looked terrified on the ground, just sobbing. She showed no signs of getting up either.

He had never dreamed of anything this horrible in his worst nightmares.
And Cabel was no stranger to nightmares.
He had followed Zinerva and her light in the darkness, thinking that it may lead to a way out of that encroaching despair, but it led to only worse horrors. As the Naiad stepped closer to him, he laid a hand around her shoulders and stepped back warily as well. Until he felt the wall at his back.
The door had shut behind them. There was nowhere to run in that direction. To the jungle then? The beach would have been preferable for Zin, but it just...didn't look right. Also, all that open space with these flying things about? Cursing his lack of helpful magical powers in this situation, the Fae was entertaining thoughts of escape into the jungle when suddenly, it was as if everything was sucked away by a giant whirlpool...but in the air. How...did...?
With a sigh of relief, he sagged tiredly into Zinerva, one hand patting her hair as she hid. "I think I'm with you on that. Maybe...no massive deity-hosted parties this time?"
*****
Somewhat disappointed in missing out on his kiss, Seiya had stumbled out of the darkness at the urgent herding of the cherubs (so not stars). He quickly forgot that disappointment, however, as the sight before him was filled only with despair and horror. He stumbled, leaning back against the wall of the resort. How...what...why?
Where were the stars?
Seiya bit his lip, panic welling in his gut. Where should they go? What should they do? Without guidance...all was chaos and disorder and...
His head was swimming and the starry Fae fell to his knees. Perhaps being lower than the other Pae rushing about kept any of the bats from flying into him as they were the others, but he remained mostly unmolested on the ground. He lost track of where the others were going, what they were doing, until all the chaos suddenly seemed sucked away, swirling and disappearing into the void, leaving the sky clear once more. It was like a weight had been lifted from his chest and he could breathe again. Hand on his chest, Seiya started to stand, looking around at the aftermath when he caught sight of his new friend. Almost as if nothing had happened, he felt those strange feelings return...he needed her...wanted her...but why was she on the ground?
Seiya moved towards Nimue before kneeling again, placing his hand on her shoulder. She was shaking with sobs, which...no, he didn't want that. He wanted her the way she was earlier. Smiling. Relaxed. Looking at him with the same desire he felt for her...
"Nim? Nimue?" he called, concerned, leaning in and trying to look at her face in her huddled position. "It's gone, Nim, it's all gone. Come on, get up. It's okay now."
Xylia exhaled as the chaos dispelled, she was grateful it was finally over. Now all she wanted to do was sleep, she stretched as the skies cleared and became peaceful again. Soon they would be setting sail for home and this was definitely a vacation she would find hard to forget.
