Thread: The chosen one (Um and Liam Dale)

RE The chosen one Um and LD Arden suddenly turned around when one of the men behind him spoke, seemingly making quite a similar offer. Except for...had he just said 'rule the Earth'....? He had. Ok, that was...new. Certainly the first time someone had made Arden an offer quite like that anyway. He suddenly turned back to Adhrastos when he spoke again, but then said stay with him? Stay with him? They wanted to stay with him? And then the other man spoke again, offering to do everything he wanted, anything he wanted? Just what the hell was he implying? Arden was now caught looking between the two groups, able to quite easily pick up on how they were glaring at one another, clearly there was a lot of tension and animosity between them. Ok ok everyone just....stay quiet for a second Arden finally spoke, raising his hands to both groups. Just....let me think here for a second ok? He rubbed his head and took a few deep breaths. Ok, theories. First of all, this was all some kind of LARPing prank that had gotten out of hand. He could've bought that with the group that had 'come from the sky', that could've been explained away as a fancy light show and some really good wirework. But the other group....the ones that had come from the hole in the ground. Arden glanced to where the hole had been...now not a trace of it. But he had looked into it, looked down it, felt the intense heat coming from within, heard noises that had seemed to resonate within his very soul. Ok....not LARPing then. Next theory, this was all just some kind of crazy dream. Maybe he had just gotten so bored that, once again, he had fallen asleep in the park. The boy glanced to his arm, giving it a pinch, immediately wincing and hissing slightly in pain. Ok, not a dream either. Dreams weren't supposed to be painful. That though left only one last theory in Arden's head, the one that confused him the most. This was all real. As much as he didn't want to admit it though, it really was the only thing that made any sense. Not much, but some. Alright...so....let me just get this straight He looked to Adhrastos. You're....angels? The four of you. And you've come down from Heaven to ask me, me , to lead you in a battle against Hell. Me, a regular guy He slowly turned around, looking to Agares this time. And you guys are....demons? And you've come to ask me pretty much the opposite, to join you in a battle against Heaven. Does that about sum up the basics of it? He looked between the two groups, his eyebrow twitching. Are you people insane? Let's assume I believe you, which it seems I don't have much choice but to do so, but assuming I do, what in the world makes you want to ask me of all people to do something like that? Did you just pick a name out of a hat or something? He shook his head. And even more than that, you want to stay with me? All 8 of you want to stay with me? In my house? Where I live? With my parents ? Y'know, I don't think my parents are going to react very well to me brining 8 strangers home with me and asking if they can all stay. Infact, I'd say there's a very slight possibility they'd freak out. Or is this where you tell me you'll use your Angelic or Demonic powers to be invisible to them? Or mess with their heads so they think it's perfectly alright? He looked between both groups, folding his arms in frustration. It was so strange....both groups...it was like someone had just looked inside of his head and picked out every feature that he found attractive, then mixed it all up.
