In his normal state, most direct spells would have next to no effect on Senstren, due to the massive quantity of wards on his person. Though his warding spells were stronger now, Ziven's spell was still quite potent. Jolting from the pain, Senstren grimaced, showing many sharpened teeth. The choker around his neck flared blue before returning to it's regular color. He had to escape this situation immediately, or everything his master had worked for would be ruined. And he would be erased from existence. "LUCKY! KILL!"
Aliator had made a rather serious mistake in grabbing the scythe. Fueled by a moment of rage, Senstren pooled massive amounts of energy in an instant, far more than what was actually needed for the task ahead. Because Aliator had grabbed his ear and the scythe, he did not need to make any further action. Releasing the energy, both he and Aliator would be dragged into Death. Senstren was used to the world of the Dead, and would instinctively brace himself against the tug of the River. Aliator might know to do so, as he was technically undead, but the advantage would easily be in Senstren's favor. The instant the warp took place, Senstren would throw a pulse of destructive energy through the scythe. The force would tear the arm off of a regular man, but would probably just serve to dislodge Aliator and throw him a good distance away.
As soon as the two had disappeared from the world of the Living, the command Senstren had shouted still echoed over the landscape. Within seconds, what appeared to be an eight foot long cat-creature of white flames and lightning jumped for Ziven's barrier, tearing at it with it's claws, and discharging massive amounts of raw Free Magic energy at it. Lucky didn't want to harm the kind woman who had provided him a couch, but he didn't have a choice in the matter.

*Ali let out a roar as he felt his right arm get dislodged and then popped back into joint as he manipulated the gravity around it. Tightening the grip on Senstren's ear with his left hand, Ali slammed his forhead into Senstrens nose. Bringing his right hand up to grab onto his other ear and force his head in place as Ali unleashed a fury of headbutts to Senstrens nose, aiming to crush the bone inside and flatten his face. The more pain Ali got the more vicious and powerful he got as it fuled his rage. Didn't matter where they were, He would give any opponent a world of pain and fear before he was done. And he loves every second of it.*

A loud screaming sound like the chorus of a thousand tormented souls boomed throughout the barrier just as the cat started to pound Ziven's shield over and over with his magic. Yawgmoth's spell was completed, the darkness at his command screaming in joy with its twisted voice at what it was about to do. His pale white eyes appeared near Ziven and the cat, a cackling laughter echoed from his glowing white teeth just under the eyes. The light given off by the cat creature's fire and lightning would start to rapidly fade as if it were being eaten.
The difference between making everything dark with a veil of shadows and causing Blighting Shade was simple. The veil only covered the light and hid it. Blighting Shade ate it, like a black hole. The force of the darkness that surrounded them was so strong now not even light could escape it. Any and all light sources were start being devouring by the empowered blackness. Even the glow from Yawgmoth's eyes and the gleam from his teeth vanished swiftly as the shadows quelled their light though the Titan's twisted laughter continued to echo as Lucky's light continued to fade, fast.

Though she had much experience with fighting, there were certain basic traits of her that could not be suppressed, even in rather dire situations such as this. When Lucky hit the barrier, clawing and making such angry noises, Ziven let out a squeak of surprise. Using this nervous energy, knowing exactly where Lucky was, she used this knowledge to trap the once friendly feline. As if going through osmosis, the barrier seemed to feather outward, leaving a portion around Ziven and Yawg, the other parts quickly surrounding Lucky in a bubble as well. With this, there would be a small window of opportunity for Lucky to escape this, mere seconds would pass before he would be fully encased by the barrier. Now, in addition to trying to claw in to the barrier around them, he would have to claw himself out of the barrier that surrounded him first .. that is, unless Ziven were able to conjure more of a barrier around the possessed feline.

Fortunately for Lucky, he was not a light based elemental, and extinguishing the light did nothing to halt his current attack. The Free Magic energies would act as something of a shield against direct magical attacks from the shadows, but for now, he only had one goal to worry about.
As soon as the bubble began to expand, Lucky let out a focused blast of raw Free Magic energy directed straight at Ziven. The energy could chew through or disrupt most spells, and would make spellcasting more difficult for a short time. As he did this, he clawed even harder at the weakened section of the barrier. If all went according to plan, he could break through the shield and take Ziven out of the equation in a few seconds without her being able to teleport out of the way due to the Free Magic energy still heavily in the air.
Senstren was dazed at the ferocity of the repeated headbutts and felt something crack under the force. Almost immediately, a dark metallic voice echoed through Death. "I am assuming direct control." Through the shards in Senstren's eyes, Orannis took over the Necromancer's body. Immediately, a shard separated from the scythe and shot towards Aliator's arm. At the same time, Orannis send a command to Aliator. "Stay." Without the shard in place, Orannis could still easily render the vampire stationary, whether through actual command or through the mental strain of resisting. It was time to see how much willpower this creature had.

* Ali glared at Senstren as he spoke, not even caring as the shard that was shot and scraped his arm. Eventually letting out a loud and long combination between a roar and a shriek, before he once again started to bash his head against Senstren's until he would simply keep their heads against each out. Doing a very forceful jerk with both arms strong enough to tear the ears straight off. His mouth would afterwards go straight for the nose, clearly another target for something to tear off. Ali's willpower was quite substancial, he was one stubborn son of a b***h.*

Swooping out of the blackness a large mass intercepted the blast of free magic and ate it. The darkness itself was alive at its masters command. In this super concentrated state thanks to the spell its highly corrosive properties were multiplied exponentially. This meant it could literally eat through anything Yawgmoth commanded it to. Flesh, bone, steel, air and even energy particles. "I cannot protect you for long. You need to escape." his voice said from behind Ziven, his words directed to her. "Even for me, this wild shadow is hard to command due to its volume. I can tell it not to harm you but only for so long." his voice whispered to her again. A loud command bellowed from his lips. "Consume".
In the shadows he clenched both his fists tightly. Very quickly the air inside the dome they were inside would become extremely toxic and corrosive. The darkness was doing something akin to assimilating it forcing its energies into everything inside the dome the air included. This would be very bad, very dangerous and probably very fatal to anyone who wasn't Yawgmoth or wasn't someone he had halted the command from. There was a small foot radial space around Ziven that was not experiencing the same effects as the rest of the dome, but as he warned this wouldn't last long. The shadow's hunger would soon outweigh its consciousness to obey and it would start to 'devour' everything inside the dome. The only reason he would survive was his immunity to all things shadow and darkness related, for yes it would even turn on him and try to devour him too in time.

Turning toward his voice, she looked at her husband with a stern frown. With a sigh of frustration, she disappeared. Where she reappeared at would likely not be discovered for several minutes. For the moment, she waited, safe from this attack her husband was using.

Lucky swiped at the spot where Ziven had been, finding only air. He stopped and sat down, lazily surveying the the scene around him. "Funny. With all this power, nothing is acquired, yet with subtlety, so much more is obtained. Theatrics: overrated, yet with them, one can gain true immortality. Well, if done successfully that is... Tis funny." He said, returning his gaze to Yawgmoth. As a blob of shadow moved towards him, Lucky merely shrugged at the Titan. A second later, the shadow passed over, and Lucky found himself slowly walking towards downstream through the cold waters of Death.
Aliator had in fact pulled with enough strength to tear Senstren's ears off. The second he did so, Senstren and the shard both vanished from his sight, leaving him biting at air, alone in the cold waters of Death. Reappearing in Life just outside of the sphere Orannis reached Senstren's hand up to the side of his head. Examining the blood on his fingers he muttered. "So fragile. So temporary. Pathetic." The shard flew back into the scythe blade before the blade separated from the handle of the scythe and shot into the sphere. "You wish to know true power Titan?"

Senstren had better be careful if he planned on trying to attack the dome. Walking or passing through the edges of the shield would be like trying to walk through a laser, the concentrated darkness would break down anything that tried to get in or out of the sphere. Entropy was the real law of the universe, all things break down. His darkness would just help the process speed up, a lot. Yawgmoth's voice echoed outward. "I know true power, step inside and take a breath. I promise it will be your last" he responded simply.
Not an empty threat by any means. The inside of the sphere was completely toxic now. The true genius of Blighting Shade wasn't its powerful concentration but its subtlety in weaving the powers of the shadow into everything. More importantly the air inside. Taking a breath inside the sphere would make one inhale the darkness infested particles in the air. When these particles traveled to the lungs and oxygenated the blood the blood would become infected. Since Yawgmoth's shadows corroded it would start to help the blood break down the very veins and arteries inside the body. A few holes in the body's circular system and one would bleed internally, bleeding the infected blood onto muscle tissue and vitals which would also start to break down and decay. Taking just a simple breath inside of a blighting shade would literally rot someone from the inside out. No matter how strong someone was, the squishy insides were all the same. Fragile, vulnerable. Besides himself for being immune to darkness there was only one other being who likely survive inside the shade. Ali and only due to his air manipulation. He could stave off breathing the toxic air or even force the darkness out of the air he intended to breathe. No one else had these luxuries of course.

* Ali kept himself levitated above the water by means of his air and gravity manipulation abillities, having calmed down since his target had been cowardly enough to leave. Instead his focus for the time being was to get the ******** out of here, particulary from the moaning and wailing by the dead below reaching up towards him.*
Hmm...Maybe I can reach her...* Ali rolled his eyes a little to himself after he spoke, he knew he would be forced to teleport himself with her to get out, which he found far more uncomfortable then explode into a swarm of butterflies. Eventually he started to focus, broadcasting a "So...want to get me out of this shitty place" to the one person he figured was potent enough to recieve his thoughts. Ziven.*

Arching a brow, she was surprised to hear Ali .. and relieved. Concentrating for a moment, she nodded, despite the fact he could not see. "It is possible .. however it will not be refined as normal. Prepare yourself." came her reply, confident yet still sorting things out in her mind.
Given his location, it was not as easy as simply teleporting him as she would normally. Usually she would go to him, but that was not truly an option at this moment. With a deep breath, she began speaking in an ancient tongue, a spell to give better direction on where he needed to be. The process would take several minutes, but would surely be successful within a few feet of her current position, on the tree tops. However if he were to arrive, it would take little effort to steady him. It would now be crucial for her to not be interrupted, else she would likely have to start again.

Laughter echoed throughout the field, though it did not come from Senstren. The necromancer's body lifted into the air like a rag doll and turned to face the blue sphere. A faint red mist sprayed out in front of the sorcerer's face, before his body was thrown to the side by an invisible force. He landed a good distance away and rolled/bounced another twenty or so feet. Floating where the necromancer had previously been were two shards of silver metal, visible only for a second before they rocketed into the blue sphere. For a second, all sound was sucked out of the area, and it felt as though time itself had stopped. Then, the sphere began shrinking, turning a brighter shade of white as it did so. The wind picked up, kicking up large amounts of dirt and ash from the initial explosion. The sphere slowly shrank to wrap around the objects it had been concealing from the beginning: two glowing half spheres about ten meters in diameter. The shards of Orannis' prison had been returned, and the spell had reached a great enough level of energy to mend it. These massive half spheres slowly began floating together. The amount of Free Magic energy present in the area was staggering, and it radiated out to the shadow sphere. The energy would rapidly decay the energy the shadow spell was based on, and begin to dismantle the spell.
In Death, Lucky slowly walked past the fighter he had seen briefly in the field before the darkness. He slowed down briefly to look at the man hovering above the river, though he could not physically stop altogether. "You should come in, the water is quite cool."
