PLOT
Eons ago the Titans undisputedly ruled the lands of the Overworld. While under their control, chaos reigned, and monsters roamed freely terrifying mortals and wreaking havoc wherever they went. This was all very short lived though, as Cronus, leader of the Titans and Lord of Time, received a prophecy from his mother Gaea, stating that one of his children would attempt to overthrow and imprison him. Taking precautions Cronus swallowed each one of his children immediately after birth.
However by their sixth child, Cronus's wife Rhea, was angered by Cronus's actions. She craftily replaced baby Zeus with a rock swaddled in clothing. Cronus, thinking the rock was Zeus, swallowed it. Rhea then snuck baby Zeus to the cave where Amalthea, the divine goat, resided. Amalthea suckled and raised the infant Zeus until he was strong enough to survive on his own. Zeus returned to Mt. Etna, the home of the Titans. Cronus, unaware the boy was his son took him on as his personal servant. He received a drink from Zeus, unaware that his own son had poisoned it. Soon after drinking it, Cronus regurgitated Zeus's brothers and sisters; Poseidon, Hades, Demeter, and Hera. Cronus then realized who Zeus was, and the Everlasting Battle between the Gods and Titans began.
It is now the twenty first century and the war between the Titans and the Gods still rages on, but slowly the Olympian's powers are waning. Zeus, now king of the Gods and ruler of the skies, has been captured and forced to trade places with Atlas to hold up the World. The Demigods, children of the Gods, have begun a desperate on Mt. Etna where the Titans reside, hoping to catch them off guard and free Zeus. They were intercepted at the gates of Mt. Etna by an army of men and women with powers that mysteriously resembled those of the Titans. After a long and one-sided battle, the Demigods were defeated. Some fled, most were captured or killed and a few even stooped so low as to join the Titan. In this time of war and mistrust only one thing is sure...
The final battle is approaching.

Rules
1. No God-modding. We WILL NOT accept this, AT ALL. Please notify immediately, ESPECIALLY if it's one of the GMs.
2. No killing off character without consent of the other RPer.
3. Posts must be at 4-6 sentences MINIMUM. It's not impossible.
4. There will be a three strike warning system. If you refuse to listen to the warnings, you will be booted.
5. No Over-Powered or Under Powered, very strict! We want to see every RPer's OC at their best.
(GMs #1, #2, and our Temp/Replacement GM may change the rules according to as they see fit. Please try to understand)
(Maps will be added and updated as the story progresses. There are more maps to be seen, don't worry.)
A Note from GM #1: WhatThePumpkin here! This is, if you can't tell, a remake of Throne of Time, an RP made by The-Blades-Slave, earlier on in the year. Someone here on P.U. believed that it had potential, but due to some events, caused it to fall apart, and fail. This person believed that it should've been given a second chance. This RP is basically, that second chance. This RP, although with the same type plot, is not going to be EXACTLY like it's predecessor, Throne of Time. There have been some MAJOR plot edits to the entire thing. I know some of you might not be enthusiastic about seeing this RP again, but please, give it a chance.
If you see ANYTHING wrong with this, or have a problem with something that's happening, PLEASE NOTIFY either Me or Blades (or, after August 15th for Blades, and 27th for me, Meowth) about it, and we will see what we can do. Although the plot is already determined, you may feel free to make ANY suggestions you want, via PM, to Me, Blades, or Meowth. Thank you~

Defeated, Somber, and Dull: the three words to describe the mood of the Mount. Etna prison.
The dark corridors, lit only by torches, were quiet, save for the occasional deep breath, or the scratching noise of a rat or ungodly insect crawling across the flooring or walls. As a prisoner on the side of the Gods, you laid in the middle of the floor, the dampness of the humid Mediterranean air sinking into the rags you had been provided with after the strip search. You would know to stay still laying on the ground, careful not to anger the unwelcome cellmates. Although the cells were damp, smelled of mildew, and were, in any other ways, untidy, most kept their mouth shut. They were lucky to still be alive, unlike many of their comrades who had rushed into battle by their side.
Loud footsteps fill the corridor, as a guard passes by. He turns to look at each and every one of you as he passes, a smirk of amusement on his face. He seems to be mocking you, swinging his keys like he owns the place. Like he's the one who locked you up. He moves to the end of the corridor, but instead of turning the corner, and continuing with his patrol, he sits down, back against the wall.

Tylan and Daylin
Tylan sat quietly, his pale eyelids closed and his hands tucked under his head, supporting it. He reached is arm around to his back, the dirty rags he was stuck in making him itch, and winced in pain as he touched the scar. Almost fourteen years old and yet the scar still felt like it had just been healed and hurt him badly. He watched as the guard walked by and heard Daylin shout from the cell next door
Wipe that smirk off your face! We're gonna get out of here and then we are going to kill you!
Tylan spoke, his voice carried by the slight wind that always surrounded him, barely being heard above the sound of rummaging rats.
Daylin, give up. We were weak and got ourselves captured. We have no power here, we have no weapons, what shreds of hope can you possibly cling to?
There was a loud metallic noise of something hitting metal, followed by the sound of Daylin swearing loudly.
Not even you can break steel Daylin.
Footsteps echoed around the room next to Tylans, showing Daylin was pacing. He punched the wall and said
Tylan, I swear on the River Styx we will get out of here alive!
Tylan just sighed and gently began to drift in and out of sleep.
-
I was in a cell neer them, sitting in a corner. I've tried using my power to break free, but it turns out my bounds were cursed bounds, making me unable to use my powers with them on. The guard passed by, taunting us with the keys, and I looked down to try and ignore him. There had to be a way out of here.
Wipe that smirk off your face! We're gonna get out of here and then we are going to kill you!
Daylin, give up. We were weak and got ourselves captured. We have no power here, we have no weapons, what shreds of hope can you possibly cling to?
I stood up and walked to the bars of the cell to see if the guard was still there. It looked like he was a bit farther at the end.
I started whispering. If I could, I would use my power, but the titans already knew about it, so they gave me cursed binds.
I sat back down in my cell, thinking about a way out of here.
-
Ayara:
I watched as the guard walked by, mocking us and swinging his keys. I could hear some of the other prisoners yelling at the guard, or talking to each other.
"Wipe that smirk off your face! We're gonna get out of here and then we are going to kill you!"
Daylin, give up. We were weak and got ourselves captured. We have no power here, we have no weapons, what shreds of hope can you possibly cling to?
There was a clanging, as if someone had charged their cell bars.
Not even you can break steel Daylin.
A new voice.
If I could, I would use my power, but the titans already knew about it, so they gave me cursed binds.
I glanced at my hands, but didn't bother to try my fire. It was obvious that it wouldn't work, not with these shackles on.
...Artemis. You awake?
Across the hallway, in the cell opposite me, I saw a familiar pair of gold eyes open and look back at me.
Yes.
I moved forwards towards the bar, glancing both ways down the hall. I could see the guard, now seated at the end of the hallway, relaxing and leaning against the wall. I grit my teeth.
They're got my fire sealed. You noticed anything we could use to get out of here?
No, not yet. Perhaps we should ask some of our neighbors.
I guess.
I took a breath so as to call out to the others.
Er, sister, perhaps I should do the talking. Diplomacy is not your forte.
I gave her a look.
Fine.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Artemis:
I internally sighed in relief as sister agreed to have me do the talking.
Sister's skills do not lie in speaking...
I shifted forwards, closer to the bars, and called out to the others softly, so as not to alert the guard-
Excuse me. Have any of you noticed anything that could be used to our advantage? Perhaps to escape?
I could see sister moving forward in her cell across from me, shackles apparent on her hands. They're probably what's sealing her fire.
If we want to get out, the best idea would be to work together...
I could hear Ayara grumbling in her cell.
Yeah, and when we do get out, I'mma sock that guard for looking like he owns us...
I rolled my eyes and waited to see if anyone would reply.
(I'm assuming it's sorta dim in there, which is why I said Ayara could see Artemis' eyes. Both of their eyes show up relatively well in darkness/semi-darkness.)
-
Tylan and Daylin
Daylins' voice dropped to a quiet whisper as he spoke to the girl with golden eyes across the hallway.
No, I do have strength, maybe even enough to slightly bend the bar in a way I could escape.
Tylan sighed as his brother gave the people false hope.
Daylin you know very well you cannot bend those bars, even without those shackles sucking your strength. I don't have a pair of shackles stopping my abilities, but they would be no use to you as of now.
He sighed, they were all truly doomed.
-
I looked over at one cell, a girl was talking to someone aross her cell, but I couldent hear them clearly. I looked around my cell. Steel and stone, i couldent dig through it with my bare hands without breaking them. And even if I could dig out of here, I would be too tired to fight, so that would just get me and possibly the others killed.
My thoughts were interupted when one of the girls spoke softly. Excuse me. Have any of you noticed anything that could be used to our advantage? Perhaps to escape?
I looked around my cell. Prettymuch anything would be handy right now. Even a ro-...... there was a rock in one of the corners of my cell. I krept to there and picked it up.
I have a rock.... sorry but that's prettymuch all I have...
-
Ayara:
I listened as Artemis talked to the others.
"No, I do have strength, maybe even enough to slightly bend the bar in a way I could escape."
Almost immediately, another voice spoke.
Daylin you know very well you cannot bend those bars, even without those shackles sucking your strength. I don't have a pair of shackles stopping my abilities, but they would be no use to you as of now.
I grit my teeth again.
I dunno what you can do, but I'm getting outta here, no matter how long it takes.
I tried slamming my shoulder against the bars, to test their strength.
Dammit all to Hades! If they hadn't stuck these shackles on me, I could burn my way out!
I could hear Artemis sigh.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Artemis:
I sighed as I heard sister slam the bars and then start cussing.
Sister, even if you could, you'd be exhausted. You'd be in no condition for a fight, and would just get caught again. That'd do us no good.
I could see her glaring at me.
It's better then sitting here, doing nothing!
I gave her a look.
...Alright, fine...
I looked back over as one of the others began to speak.
I have a rock.... sorry but that's prettymuch all I have...
I thought for a second.
Well, that's a start. Maybe we can use it for something. I can't think what right now, but keep it handy. You never know when an opportunity may arise.
-
Tylan and Daylin
DAylin laughed as a thought suddenly hit him. His voice low so the guard, whos attention had been attracted by Ayaras string of swears, wouldn't take further notice.
Why not slide the rock too Tylan, his hands are free. Maybe he can toss it at the guard.....
He quickly followed this by chuckling softly into his hands. Tylan yawned and then his voice rising slightly above a whisper said
Hey, violent girl, I just got my brother to calm down, now you be quiet, I need to sleep.
Then he looked at the other girl with glowing golden eyes, the one he could actually see from a slight distance (Artemis).
Why are you so optimistic? We are gonna die in here. I failed, I couldn't protect my younger brother and don't deserve to live. But from you two even being you are, much like me, weak.
(Tylan tends to pick fights without even realizing it, forgetting other people aren't detached from almost everything in the world like him.)
-
Why are you so optimistic? We are gonna die in here. I failed, I couldn't protect my younger brother and don't deserve to live. But from you two even being here I can tell you were weak as well as me.
I held back a laugh from that comment.
You say that and yet you want out as much as us. Out of everyone here I should be called the weakest... and mabye the most cowardly...
I kirled into a ball in a corner.
Afterall.... I killed my best freind so I wouldent be killed myself, then think i can just flee and make everything better.... I failed to repent for killing him... You say your giving up after losing one battle? Well I lost countless and I'm still fighting.
(Tell me if there's somehting wrong and I'll fix. )
-
Ayara:
I listened while Artemis talked to some of the others. Rocks, throwing...Gods, I just wanna burn my way outta this damn place.
Hey, violent girl, I just got my brother to calm down, now you be quiet, I need to sleep.
I bared my teeth.
I'd have to say, if that other guy's your brother, I think I prefer him over you. I'd rather die trying than sleep my life away in some cell.
I turned away, about to say something to Artemis, when the voice continued.
Why are you so optimistic? We are gonna die in here. I failed, I couldn't protect my younger brother and don't deserve to live. But from you two even being here I can tell you were weak as well as me.
That ticked me off. I surged to my knees, turning back to the bars and glaring towards the voice, my teeth bared. My eyes were probably flickering (they look like fire, remember?).
Weak?! Did you just call us weak?! I can show you who's weak! Say that to my face, you jackass!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Artemis:
I was about to reply to the voice's question when sister went off.
I could kick you ass any da-
I looked at Ayara sternly.
Sister! That's enough. I'm sure he meant no offense.
She cut off, obviously still fuming. I could see her eyes flickering, although that's how they always were.
One of the others began to speak again, obviously aimed at the first voice.
You say that and yet you want out as much as us. Out of everyone here I should be called the weakest... and mabye the most cowardly...Afterall.... I killed my best freind so I wouldent be killed myself, then think i can just flee and make everything better.... I failed to repent for killing him... You say your giving up after losing one battle? Well I lost countless and I'm still fighting.
I looked in the direction the voice had come from. He seemed so sad. I could feel it.
...Well, I don't know what happened to you two, and I won't pretend I do. But I have to disagree. The very fact that you're here, in these dungeons, means you were fighting. That in and of itself means something, although it's meaning may differ for everyone here.
I glanced at sister, knowing she was going to say something. Her teeth were bared, and she was facing away from the direction of the voice.
This world is gonna screw with us. In fact, it's probably screwed with everyone here. Otherwise we wouldn't be sittin in cells. But you deal with that your own way, and no one's gonna be able to tell you how. So figure it out yourself. Cuz I'm not gonna sit and listen to no sob story.
I sighed.
Please take no offense. My sister means no harm. She's just not the best at being polite.

Alala
"Will you all calm down already I was trying to take a nap...Please think before you try to break out of here..."
"Do you know what is outside right? A bunch of Titans that hate our guts....Do any of you know how many there is?"
"My guess is no. So before you do anything rash please consider the following..."
"We break out...Possibly be outnumbered and just get slaughtered..."
"We stay here....Try to find an opportunity to find out what is out there and possibly where our armor and weapons are..."
Sighing a bit.
"Then once we have more knowledge of everything then we can formulate a plan of escape if even possible.."
-
I was listening quietly thinking of a stradegy. One of the girls was really nice- nicer than most demi-gods- while the other was a bit cold.
Please take no offense. My sister means no harm. She's just not the best at being polite.
I looked over to her, trying to keep a smile on my face.
No, it's alright, I'm used to that kind of treatment.
Then I thought for a moment.
But she's got a point, we need to stop moping and try to figure out how to get out of here...
I look at my rock. It was unlikely, but mabye I could use it... I got lost in thought.
-
Tylan and Daylin
Tylan ignored the girl from earlier, she was obnoxious and her yelling hurt his ears.
...Well, I don't know what happened to you two, and I won't pretend I do. But I have to disagree. The very fact that you're here, in these dungeons, means you were fighting. That in and of itself means something, although it's meaning may differ for everyone here.
Tylan opened his mouth about to respond when he was cut off.
This world is gonna screw with us. In fact, it's probably screwed with everyone here. Otherwise we wouldn't be sittin in cells. But you deal with that your own way, and no one's gonna be able to tell you how. So figure it out yourself. Cuz I'm not gonna sit and listen to no sob story.
He sighed.
I have no sob story, I deal with my own problems. I only fought in the battle to defend my brothers. Also little girl who is yelling, I would stake my life on the claim you could not kick my ass.
Daylins eyes began to glow a demonic red, showing he was truly angered.
Why are you being such an asshole Tylan? These people are just trying to help us!
Tylan sighed, his voice heaving and for the first time since he had been thrown in the cell he opened his radiant white eyes.
Daylin, I fight with these people because they cling to hope. They have no hope, we're not going to make it out of here alive. Much like yourself Daylin, you are weak and pitifully cling to nonexistent hope.
A feral snarl tore through Daylins throat.
No hope? No hope? How can you say that Tylan? Where their is a will, the gods will offer us a way!
Tylan rolled his eyes, how pitiful could Daylin be?
No, we may be the children of the gods, but we have to get out of things like this ourselves.
Daylin grolwed in anger and siad
When I get out of here I am kicking you ass Tylan.
And I greatly look forward to the next time I can put you in your place Daylin.
Over there argument they had completely missed the child of Athena speaking along with the boy from earlier.
-
Alala
Sighing again as they all started fighting with one another...
"HEY!!! SHUTUP! Fighting is not helping our situation any.."
Sitting up next to the bars to the hall part of the cells...
"If we are going to get out of here does anyone know where they are keeping our weapons?"
"If we do break out of here what are we gunna do just run outside and hope they all just say..."
"Oh good golly! They broke out! Well congrats on succeeding you can be on your way now and thanks for staying at our luxury prison.."
"I doubt it.." "Please stop fighting...At least untill we are in the clear."
-
I was cut out of my thoughts when both of the brothers started yelling at each other.
No hope? No hope? How can you say that Tylan? Where their is a will, the gods will offer us a way!
I made a worried type of face.
No, we may be the children of the gods, but we have to get out of things like this ourselves.
... Uhhh..... yeah... all of us.....
I kinda shuffled uncomfortably. They all probably have godly parents smiling on them hoping they get free. But my dad's a titan, and he probably wants me dead by now. Not wanting to talk about it I just nod my head down and think. One of the other prisoners yelled at the brothers but since it wasent directed at me I just didn't pay attention.
-
The twins at quietly, listening as new voice cropped up, suggesting that we stop and think.
Ayara:
I managed to hold my tongue as the man argued with his brother, but it didn't last.
Daylin, I fight with these people because they cling to hope. They have no hope, we're not going to make it out of here alive. Much like yourself Daylin, you are weak and pitifully cling to nonexistent hope.
At this, I couldn't stay quite.
I beared my teeth, and in a low voice, snarled-
Don't you DARE assume we have ever clung to "Hope" to help us. We don't depend on hope. We're talking about how to get out because we have ALWAYS depended on our own abilities. "Hope" has never gotten us anywhere.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Artemis:
I stared in the direction of the speaker, my eyes half-lidded.
We have never relied on hope. We have survived by ourselves for years.
We have only ever relied on our own abilities. That is how we have lived. (Navy is both of them.)
Ayara snarled from her cell.
So don't act like we depend on something as unreliable as "Hope". When we get out of here, it will be because of ability or intelligence, not some intangible "Hope".
-
Tylan and Daylin
Tylan ignored them, but knew what was coming when Daylin snarled out
Ya know, I don't mind you arguing with my brother, but that tone of voice sounded a bit threatening.....
Tylan sighed and spoke to Daylin
Don't worry about it, they could not touch me in a fight, and I would not let them touch you. I have only met a few people who can take us both in combat at the same time.
-
Efialtes was in kitten for in a cage...gnawing on the bars.
Why. in the world. would they keep. Kitten sized power sucking things?! now I can't even turn back into my human form!
He started shaking teh cage, hoping it would fall over...unfortunately for him though...it was attached to the wall...
Why won't it just fall ove-....there are other people in here aren't there?
((say if I need to change anything ._." ))
(say if I need to change anything ._.
-
Artemis looked towards the younger of the brothers.
My apologies. We did not mean it as a threat. Mearly a statement.
Ayara glanced over too.
Yeah, as annoying as your big bro is, now ain't the time or place.
Ayara turned away and muttered.
Although we could totally kick your butts.
(you can have them hear or not hear, your choice.)
Artemis looked over in the opposite direction of the rest of the cells, and noticed a small cage, with a moving form in it.
Sister...Correct me if I'm wrong, but...Over there, in that cage... Is that a kitten?
Ayara looked in the direction Artemis motioned, trying to make out the form.
I can't quite tell...
-
The sisters and the brothers were arguing, and I tried ignoring it this time to think.
Sister...Correct me if I'm wrong, but...Over there, in that cage... Is that a kitten?
I can't quite tell...
I suddenly got up and looked around for the cage.
Kitten? Where?
-
GM post
The sound of footsteps suddenly echoed around the hall as a single man approached. He looked like any other Demi-titan, but he seemed to put off an air of power that easily out classed anyone in the dungeon. He looked at the guard at the end of the dungeon and a single word left from his mouth, echoing around the chamber.
Now.
The guard at the end of the hallway nodded and then quickly set about opening the chambers of the cells and then taking the shackles off each and everyone one of the men and Women.
You are free, the armory lay at the North end of the Mountain, you must reach it and retrieve your weapons.
Then the man who had just arrived spoke up and removed a scroll from his pocket.
Here s a scroll with the list of ingredients for a portal to the underworld and where they are, you must build this portal once you escape this mountain and head to the underworld.
He set the scroll on the ground then both men quickly walked away, leaving everyone else behind.
(Don't worry, you will hear from them again soon.)
-
Efialtes jumped out of his cage as soon as it was opened.
I'm freeeeeee~
He then started chasing his tail.
I am sooo happy to be out of there~
-
Suddenly a man that looked like a demi-titan (like me) walked down the hall. He said soemthing to the guard at the end of the hall and then he began freeing everyone and removed their binds.
You are free, the armory lay at the North end of the Mountain, you must reach it and retrieve your weapons.
I walked out of my cell, dumbfounded.
Here s a scroll with the list of ingredients for a portal to the underworld and where they are, you must build this portal once you escape this mountain and head to the underworld.
Then they quickly walked away, leaving us.
Major Major MAJOR processing mode...
Realisation in 3... 2... 1...
What just happened???
-
Artemis and Ayara exited their cells and immediately walked over to each other, checking for injuries.
That was weird. You recognize that guy?
No, I don't think I do...
Ayara turned away, looking around. There were the two brothers, the girl who had spoken earlier, the other boy, and-
Ohhh! I was right! It was a kitten! Sister, do you think it'll let me pet it?
Ayara stared at her sister.
Uh...I have no idea. I guess you can try. I wonder why it was in a cage in the first place...
While Artemis went over to try and pet the kitten, Ayara turned around scanning their surroundings.
So, the North end, ingredients, and Hades. Riddle, much?
-
Alala
".............."
Not really knowing what to say with what just happened....
"Ok for sure was not expecting that."
Walking up to the others and trying to get this on the move for the limited amount of time before everyone realizes what happened to their prisoners...
"We don't need to stay here too long we have to get to the armory so we can get out of here and fast!"
Motioning for everyone to get ready to move.
-
Tylan and Daylin
Daylin laughed, not at all caring that what had happened was highly unlikely. He looked over to Tylan, before swinging a punch at his face! Tylan ducked and held up his hand for him to stop.
Now is not the time Daylin.
Together the brothers stepped out of Tylans cell and Dayin began to pace impatiently, already itching for a fight against some Demi-titans.
Can we please get are weapons and armor back now? I'm sick of these rags!
-
Efialtes started purring when artemis pet him..
Uh...I have no idea. I guess you can try. I wonder why it was in a cage in the first place...
I was in there because I'm a demi-god, son of cybele, goddess of wild animals.
Efialtes turned from dog, to bird, then back to cat.
See?
(HRGH say if i need to change anything ._.))
-
I shook my head to get out of my daze, and looked around. That was close, I think I almost broke my brain.
Can we please get are weapons and armor back now? I'm sick of these rags!
I thought for a moment, we were at the end of the dungeons, so the armory shouldent be too far. I calculated and made a mini map in my head.
Hmmm.... I think it's... this way?
I start walking down the dungeon, a bit unsure. It's been over two weeks, but I should still be able to find my way around...
(say if there's anything wrong with my post and I'll fix)
-
Tylan and Daylin
Tylan curiously picked the list up off the ground and began to read aloud.
Ingredients
For the base of this portal you will need the skeleton of a dragon, which is located in a hidden cave on the mountain. Problem is it is guarded by a small drake, so I wish you luck. The next ingredient i the fangs of a Hydra, which is located at the door out of Mt. Etna and onto the main island. The next ingredient is the wings of a Gryphon, they are prideful and graceful. You can find one by exiting Mt. Etna and looking to the skies, they are always flying around. You will have to figure out how to get it to come you yourselves, so you may kill it. The next ingredient is the venom of a Chimera, a large Chimera is located at the peak of this mountain, so you must scale it and defeat the Chimrea. Another ingrdient is the horn of a minotaur, which you will find in a maze located under the moutain of Mt. Etna. The last ingredient is the eyes of a hell hound. A small pack patrols the grounds outside the Moutain, you must lure one away from its pack and kill it, place all the ingrediens into the skeleton of the dragon and you will know what to say.
-signed the leader.
Tylan sighed and Daylin was excited at the prospect of fighting some monsters.
It looks like we got are work cut out for us.
When he noticed the boy from earlier had begun walking he hid the scroll and quickly followed him, with Daylin tagging along.
-
Alala
Started following behind the other 3 that started walking away....
"Heh should be fun if we encounter anyone before we get weapons..."
"Maybe we can use the old flying kitten distraction to get passed guards...Hah kidding.."
Shrugging it off and continued to walk behind Daylin and Tylin.
"I really hope we know where we are going..."
-
I really hope we know where we are going...
I look around, scanning the area. This place definitly looked familiar, and a few peices of my mental map came together.
Dont worry, I've been here before, so I know where I'm going.
-
There was a bit of a commotion as everyone exited their individual cells. The kitten, which Artemis had been petting, explained that it was actually a demigod with the power to transform into animals.
Okay, I gotta admit-that's pretty damn cool.
"Can we please get are weapons and armor back now? I'm sick of these rags!"
Ayara nodded.
You got that right.
Artemis nodded too.
I also have to agree. These raggedy attempts at clothing have become irritating very quickly.
As a few of the others determined the direction the group needed to head, the twins began to follow.
-
(I'm assuming meowth's kitty character is in Artemis's arms, so I'll just move along)
We walked down the dungeon and eventualy found a staircase. I stopped and thought for a moment.
If memory serves me right, then the armory should be up those stairs and across the hallway... Let's go, but quietly, There might be someone on patrol.
And on that note I started going up the stairs.
(Tell me if i did it wrong, and I'll le edit. :I)
-
Tylan and Daylin
Tylan and Daylin quietly climbed the stairs and upon reaching the top noticed a small problem. Three guards stood, armed to the teeth and they looked vicious and experienced. Tylan quietly turned back to the others and said
How in Boreas's name do we handle them?
-
I got into a fighting stance, and my hands lightly glowed with energy.
I can use my power to enhance my physical attack power. Can anyone else use their power for a physical fight?
-
Tylan and Daylin
A small smirk lit up Daylins features.
I can.
Tylan remained impassive but said
I'm not as good as Daylin in offensive combat, but I can handle my own.
-
The last one to exit his cell, had been silent this entire time. He had been listening, to all of them talking, with a scowl on his face. He couldn't BELIEVE what he was hearing. The gods picked this unfaithful lot to be their army? Pathetic.
He quietly slithered out of his cell, seeing no need to stand at full height. He made sure he stayed at the back of the group, to keep lookout, while they looked around for the armory. He had no need to talk to the other demi-gods or demi-titans, nor did he want to. He just wanted to do his job. Protect the God's army, until the battle is over.
His spines pricked up as he continued, ready to challenge whatever danger got them from the rear. as he neared where the group had stopped, he over heard one of the brothers speaking.
"How in Boreas's name do we handle them?"
Another one, possibly the demi-titan, spoke up, assuming a fighting stance.
"I can use my power to enhance my physical attack power. Can anyone else use their power for a physical fight?"
He raised his hand slowly, grimacing a bit. "Here for protection. Do not need escape. I deal with them." He waited for either ridicule for his accent, and inability to speak the language well, or for an answer.
-
The twins both spoke up.
We can.
Thy glanced at each other, then back at the group.
Well actually, I can't. My power is healing, so it's not much use unless someone is injured. But sister and I are both pretty good hand-to-hand fighters.
Ayara held up her hand in a "I can." sort of way.
I can, in a way. Quite literally, firepower.
-
Here for protection. Do not need escape. I deal with them.
I turned around quickly and saw a half monster looking... person... thing.... I could hardly describe him. Not wanting to offend him in the middle of a fight, I replied.
Alright, we can use another man. Ayara, you can team up with me on the left one, Tylan and Daylan, you can take the right, and... sorry I didnt catch your name, you tke the one on the middle, agreed?
-
Tylan and Daylin
Tylan and Daylin instantly set to work, running in harmony with Tylan shielding Daylin. They reached the guard they were suppose to take care of, who in turn drew two swords. Tan ran at the man, an as he swung both his swords he rased his arms, wincing slightly in pain as the blade cut them, causing blood to trickle and fall to the floor. Before the man could withdraw his swords Daylin had slid in beside him and his fist whistled through the air!
A dull echoing sound filled the chamber as DAylins fist met the man metal covered helm and the man gave a stunned cry before falling to the ground, his helm smashed in and bleeding!
Done.
Done.
-
"Name is Spectrome," The demi-monster said, before jumping in surprise at the brother's sudden attack. He instantly took this as his time to attack, as the other guards got ready to help their fallen friend. With a quick and fluid motion, the being charged, barreling the center guard over with his weight. The guard, angered and slightly disoriented, rose to his feet, and drew his weapon, a long spear. The beast stood back at first, waiting to see how the titan child would attack. And, as the spear penetrated where his arm and the socket met, he knew he would attack, and finish it. With the spear in his now dislocated arm, Spectrome casually sprouted his 16 legs, and charged the guard again. He was slower, but the result was more drastic. The guard was thrown against the wall, and passed out, as his helmet had broken a bit of his skull.
The behir-taur then stepped over to the titan he was to attack, squishing him under all 8 pairs of feet. Once pleased with the job he did of squishing the guard, he went back behind the group, training blood as he walked, to make sure that no one was going to surprise them from the back.
-
Name is Spectrome.
Both Spectrome and the brothers took down the guards with ease, so i guessed it was my turn. My leg's glowed and I sprinted at the last guard. He took out his sword and slashed at me, but I dodged and kneed him in the gut. Then I sent him flying with a spin kick.
Now Ayara!
-
Ayara:
I listened as the one guy directed us.
Alright, we can use another man. Ayara, you can team up with me on the left one, Tylan and Daylan, you can take the right, and... sorry I didnt catch your name, you tke the one on the middle, agreed?
I nodded, and the others all began the attacks. The guy rushed forward, quickly attacking and sending the guard flying.
Now Ayara!
I darted forward as the guard tried to rise back up, kicking his shoulder as he tried to raise his sword. As he stumbled, I drew back my arm, igniting fire around it. I stepped forward as I swung, punching the guy in the face with the momentum of my body behind it. Which, on it's own, hurts, but it hurts like Hades itself when your face is also burning from my flames. After that, I swung my left foot up, lit it, and slammed it into the guards ribs, heating the metal of his armor and burning the skin underneath. I followed that with kick to the face.
Needless to say, the guard went down fast.
B*tches get Stitches, jacka**.
(Ayara doesn't like being thrown in a cell. It puts her in a bad mood. XD)
(Tell me if I need to change anything.)
-
Efialtes was still back around the cells.
*flail* DON'T LEAVE ME HERE!
efialtes ran to the group just in time to hear ayara say BAAAAD words.
You said a bad word...!
efialtes then saw something...a chain...dangled..it was attached to the wall.
No. not going for it...not going to go play with the chain..No.....
(HRGH say if i need to change anything ._.)
-
I sat back on a chair and half slept. A few other Demi-titans were in the room doing the same thing. I was jolted awake as I heard a shudder through the wall. I jumped out of the chair, this place is normally boring. Something interesting must be happening. The other Demi-titans were up and already through the door. I followed hastily.
Me-please say it's some fun.
-
Tylan and Daylin
Tylan and Daylin turned, heading towards the armory when they head something. It sounded like.... Soldiers! They spun around and saw several Demi-titans coming around the corner. Tylan turned to the others and whispered quickly
Gets your weapons, we'll hold them. Bring us are weapons, they are a small green demons skull with black horns and a rune of a Greek pillar, now go!
Then they turned and prepared to fight.
-
Alala
After what Tylan said I nodded and ran into the armory...
Quickly putting my armor and getting my shield and weapons....
Putting my daggers on my waist...
"Ah I missed you my little loves."
I quickly scan the area trying to find his weapons.
"Easier said than done trying to find tiny items...."
-
As I ran round the corner I spotted a group of people in rags, oh lookie, some Demi-gods escaped. I slowed to a walk and raised my voice.
Me-tsk tsk, escapees, please surrender now or take the one way train to Tartarus.
I crossed my fingers, hoping they would choose the second option. I started to advance.
-
Tylan and Daylin
Tylan stayed quiet, his face impassive and his white eyes boring holes through the DEmi-titan that spoke.
Go to Hades you bastard!
Then Daylin charged, Tylan following behind him ready to defend. As Daylin got within range he swung a punch at the Demi-titans gut!
-
I recognized the angry one from one of the cells. He was a son of Aries if I was not mistaken, I licked my lips, this is going to be enjoyable, he swings a punch and I swiftly jump backwards. I drew my razor sharp sword, the light reflected off of it perfectly making it seem as if it was heavenly. I quickly sliced at his torso.
Me-don't hold back, I want you to see that when you tried your hardest I will still beat you.
A wide grin appeared on my face.
-
Tylan and Daylin
Tylan leaped in the way as the Demi-titan swung his sword and the blades dug deep into the harden skin in his arms as he blocked with them! He swore, even with his abilities that blade was sharp! In harmony Tylan withdrew himself as Daylin leaped into the air, shooting far from the ground and as he descended he swung his fist with all he had it the mans head!
-
I raised my arm and he slammed into it. I shifted a bit and dropped my sword, my arm felt weirdly numb.
Me-if that's how you wanna play, fine, let's play!
A shadowy ball the size of a football appeared above my hand. I took a step back and the ball shot from my palm, the momentum made me stumble quietly. I felt a little light-headed but nothing I can't handle, I picked up my sword with my good arm. I advanced towards them again.
-
Tylan and Daylin
(Lubbies, can you really block a punch from Daylin with just your arm?)
Daylin and Tylan both rolled out of the way of the ball, watching it fly past them and hit a wall before diminishing! Daylin slid past the mans blade as he jabbed at him and swung at his face!
-
efialtes turned into a wolf and went into teh armory, he didn't have anything he needed, so he figured he should get daylin's or tylan's weapon..
Hrmmm...where is it.....
He looked around..he saw daggers....staffs.....spears....and finally came across one of the weapons... it was daylin's pendant.
*muffled* I got it! I got it!
He runs out the armory and sets it down wagging his tail. he would have gone up to daylin and given it too him. but it looked like he was in the middle of something.
(say if I need to change anything ._.))
-
(karate people do it... Plus you've basically dislocated it.)
The punch connected freely with my nose and a eerie crunching noise was made. Blood ran down from the now tilted nose. I let out a growl off warning, anger was welling inside of me.
Me-Ow
I wiped the blood away but it quickly ran out again. I gripped my sword tightly, I formed another shadowy ball and fired it, I followed that up by quick slashes with my sword.
-
Daylin and Tylan
Daylin closed his eyes and the skull relic on the ground vanished, a sword appearing in his hands! red and black steel swirled together to, connecting into a long silver blade with a scaled green demon head on the hilt. Daylin swore and rolled away, the shadow ball scorching the back of the rags he wore! He struggled to keep up with mans vicious slashes and after he blocked the final one he swung his sword with expertise at the mans neck!
(Okay how much damage would these shadowballs do exactly? I need to know so I can let one hit me and describe the damage.)
-
*I'm a bit late so i'll just recap a bit of it.*
I nodded and sprinted to the armory. I looked for my sword or my armor, and found both in the same place.
Well that's convenient...
I quickly got the rags off and started putting my armor on, unfortunately, it was hard getting on.
And people wonder why i never take it off...
After a couple of minutes struggling with it I finaly managed to get it on, and grabbed my sword, then ran to battle.
Sorry, I'm late, this armor was ahrd to get on... oh...
I saw Cornelius (Hard to tell with the broken nose though... fighting with the brothers, and I bet he wasent the only one running twards the scene, I got in a fighting position.
I put on my poker face serious face.Hmph, been a while, Cornelius...
-
(it's based on the black fire you mentioned in ToT, concentrated into a ball. Unable to feel the heat from the outside but very hot inside.)
I lifted my sword and when the blades met and sparks flew, my blade was pushed back till it was centimeters from my neck. I pushed it away. I heard a voice and I noticed a person come out of the armory.
???-hmph, been a while, Cornelius.
I recognized the voice.
Me-Too long, traitor.
-
Tylan and Daylin
Daylin paused and looked at the two.
How do you know each other? And what does he mean?
Tylan listened with slight interest before he walked into the armory. He found his clothes and quickly changed into them his scar stinging as he slid the cool fabric over it. Then he searched through the weapons and found a small Greek pillar relic. He walk back outside and closed his eyes, a weapon appearing in his hand! It was a long staff, right around the height of him. the staff itself was made of marble, based after the design that held the Greek temples up, to show strength. Blade extended from both ends of the weapons and for the first time in a while Tylan smirked, it was good to have his weapon back!
You heard my brother, we will kill you both if you do not answer.
-
Eh, I thought you two knew? .... *sigh* I guess i have a bit of explaining to do.
I looked at both of them with a straight face.
I'm a traitor to the titans, and the son of Hyperion. Remember what I said about killing my best freind to survive? We knew each other before the war...
I looked away, a bit ashamed.
I was a demi-titan, and he was a demi-god, before all this we both knew each other and became freinds... I've already told you the rest in the dungeons. Hyperion ordered me to kill him specificly.... if I didnt....
I looked back at them.
I was a fool back then, and still am... but I've decided the only way i could ever repent for it, is to try and join the gods and help them win...
I still had my guard up in case if someone decided to strike at me.
-
Tylan and Daylin
Daylin growled and jumped into the air, bringing his sword down to cut the man who had spoken of killing his best friend! The sound of metal and Marble colliding filled the room as Tylan blocked the blow with his staff and was forced to his knees! He shoved Daylins blade to the side and said,
Stop Daylin, this is not are fight, nor are business. It had to have happened years ago an f you knew all are family secrets you'd feel just like him....
Then Tylan turned to Cornelius and whispered
We have more important things to deal with.
Then together the brothers charged, Daylin in front and swinging his blade at Cornelius!
-
Me-you will never escape if you don't know who's helping you.
Behind the bloody mess a smile appeared.
Me-screw that, you won't make it out anyway, DEMIGODS IN THE ARMOURY!.
footfalls could be heard through the walls. I wiped away more blood and it started to lighten up. I ran to intercept them, my blade seemingly screaming for the taste of blood.
-
Tylan and Daylin
Tylan slid in front, his staff already coming up to block the blow, which was shockingly harder than he expected, but he managed. Daylin then slid in front and continued to send an onslaught of slashes at Cornelius!
-
Once the guards had been taken out, both twins hurried inside the armory. They quickly split up and began searching for their clothes and gear.
Sister, your stuff's over here.
Artemis hurred over to where Ayara was motioning.
Oh good. It's nice to have my regular clothes and weapons back.
Artemis quickly began to change into her clothes and put her weapons in their proper places, being careful to cover her neck as she did so. Ayara quietly spoke to Artemis as she continued to search for her things.
It's a good thing that those rags covered your neck. It keeps people from asking questions.
Artemis just nodded without a word as she finished changing.
Ayara hurried over as she noticed her things on the floor nearby.
Good, my stuff's all here.
Ayara quickly changed into her clothes, slipped on her necklace and ring, and put in her earrings.
Sounds of fighting could be heard outside, so the twins ran outside in time for the whole explanation.
Well, I don't really care WHAT you've done, as long as you're on our side now.
Artemis nodded, then pulled out her quarter staff as Ayara summoned her Kusarigamas. The two took fighting stances, prepared to help I the fight or deal with any other enemies that may appear.
(Gods, typing using my dad's phone is such a hassle. Sorry for any inconsistencies or misspellings.)
-
(-.-)
I parried most of the blows but a few cut my arms. I started to feel dizzy as the blood seeped from the wounds. I stumbled backwards clumsily to escape the fulisade. I regained composure, I started to step back.
Me-ok fine, you've won this time, I'll see you outside, if you make it that far.
I slicked into the shadows and started to run through the hallways.
(I'm tired, goodnighty pie)
-
Tylan and Daylin
Tylan opened his hand and his weapon slowly shrunk back to the relic, which he then pocketed. Daylin did the same and the two turned around to see dozens of demi-titans pouring from the direction of the dungeon and drawing weapons. Daylin smiled and said
We should run as soon as I get my clothes.
Then he ran into the armor, grabbed his clothes, ripped the rags off and slid his boots, jeans, and t-shirt on. He ran back out and began to charge down the opposite hallway, Tylan behind him!
-
I saw the large crowd coming through the halls at us, and readied my sword, but steeped back some. There were simply too many, the most I could do was create a distraction. I looked over to where tylan and Dylan were running, fortunatly the direction where we needed to go.
Alright, everyone run and follow Dylan and Tylan!
I shot a energy slash from my sword at the large crowd and it impacted with the ground, creating a smoke screen effect, and I started running twards the brothers.
-
As the brothers dealt with the Demi-Titan, Ayara replaced her Kusarigamas as earrings again.
Then the horde of other Demi-Titans came charging out of the hallway from the dungeons.
Well, crap.
Artemis shortened her Quarterstaff and stuck it into the small leather holster at her waist.
The guy-who the twins now knew was a Demi-Titan himself- shot what looked like a slash of energy at the horde, creating a smokescreen.
Alright, everyone run and follow Dylan and Tylan!
The twins nodded in unison, and started running after the others. After a few steps, Ayara twisted while running, watching for when the first of their enemies would begin to make ther way through the dust.
(I'll be on my dad's phone for any posts I make for a while, so sorry for any mistakes.)
-
Tylan and Daylin
As they ran they noticed the smokescreen and the others following them. Tylan looked around frantically searching for an escape route when he noticed a small stone tiling that seemed.... different. He stopped and decided to try an outlandish idea, he placed his fingers in the small cracks of it and began to lift! He struggled for a moment, but saw it was lifting and Daylin, caching on came to help him. Together they moved the stone tile and Daylin leaped through the hole in the floor and Tylan waved for the others to follow him, before jumping in himself!
-
It looked like both of the brothers noticed the secret passage. Good, that'll make things a bit faster. I stopped by the hole and waved at the others.
This way!
-
Alala
Following behind the rest for the escape.
"Well now if that isn't just convenient of things."
Running up to where the others where at looking at some hole..
Waiting on everyone to get in..
"I guess this is our escape plan? heh."
-
Tylan and Daylin
(lol, I forgot to specify but the stone was from the floor not the ground :P)
Tylan landed softly, his knee and his hand supporting his whole body. He slowly lifted himself from the floor and saw Daylin doing the same. The place was dark, torches lining the walls every few yards, but barely putting off any light. The ground seemed to be made of soil and anyone could tell what the place was suppose to be with all the walls, a maze!
-
Efialtes saw people jumping in a small hole..
It better not be bottomless....
he turned into a kitten again, since it used the least power, and jumped through.
Weather forecast for today, 100% falling cats! please don't be bottomless mr. hole.
-
Alala
Jumping down after the cat did..
"Yea I hope the same thing!"
Landing at the bottom....
"Um you guys do realize they can follow us? Any plans on sealing the entrance?"
Sighing a bit...
"They have legs too.."
-
Tylan and Daylin
Tylan looked at the girl like she was crazy.
I don't think they will follow us, but if it suits you Daylin will close it.
Daylin sighed, reminding Tylan he was still young when he said
Do I have to?
Tylan nodded, his answer leaving no room for arguement.
You are the only one strong enough to jump to the ledge and pull yourself out so you can cover the entrance.
Daylin cast his head to the ground before jumping to a height not possible by most, grabbing the ledge, and pulling himself out. He stood up and dusted off his jeans then said to the pople still running
Hurry up, we gotta go.
-
I looked at him a bit confused.
Well I was gonna close it, but if you insist...
I jumped down the hole.
JERONIMOOooooo....!
I landed on my feet at the bottom. and got out of the way in case if someone else was about to jump.
Now we just have to see if Ayara and Artemis will make it...
-
Ayara twisted bak around to face forward as she heard the people in front stop running. The twins reached the hole just as Daylin pulled himself up.
"Hurry up, we gotta go."
Ayara slid to a stop, and with no visible sign or communication, waited while Artemis caught up and quickly dropped into he hole. She glanced back as footsteps and yells began to echo down he hall towards them.
Try running through THIS, idiots.
She whipped her hand around, and line of fire spread across the hallway behind her. She stumbled a little but quickly moved forward and jumped down the hole. Her knee buckled slightly as she landed. Artemis moved forward and took her hand, bringing her over and out of the way of the hole.
You did something stupid again, didn't you. You really shouldn't overdo things so much.
Ayara glanced at Artemis.
For your information, I bought us some time. It'll take a while for the fire to die down enough for them to pass through. By the time they can get here, we'll have covered the hole and be gone.
-
Tylan and Daylin
Daylin watched as the fire was spread and then a Demi-titan began to shoot water from his hands, extinguishing it. As the flames died Daylin grabbed the tile and slid down in the hole, the tile almost crushing his hands as he slid down. Daylin stood beside Daylin and listened as he said
I think we are good, but-
He was cut off as a roar split through the air, so loud it shook the walls of the maze and caused Daylin to trip as he lost his balance! Tylan was visibly unphased, but his heart felt like it was trying to rip open his chest! Daylin looked at the others as he stood up and said
This may take longer then expected.
GM post
The Demi-titans ran completely past Spectrome, thinking he was on there side since he was a demi-monster.
-
Alala
"Well no point in just standing here...Lets get going."
Looking up at the hole..
"It won't hold forever if they know where the passage is."
"And we might as well get this over with what ever awaits us in here.."
"Vin you by any chance know where this leads?"
"Be prepared for anything guys."
-
I heard the roar and I was honestly a bit shocked.
What the hell was that?!
This was wrong- I dont remember any creatures being put in the mase. They must have added it just recently... that or the fact that i hardly ever come down here, and I didn't notice.
Well, let's move, whatever that was we dont want to be caught by it- or the demi-titans. Oh, and to answer your question... hardly anyone knows about it, so if we're lucky they'll give the passage a blind eye and think we ran further in the halls. It's been a while since i was down here, so they probably changed the path to the exit.
-
Efialtes had landed on his side...
Let it be known that cats don't always fall on they're feet...
he slowly got up... just in time to fall over again as he heard the roar...
Bad place is bad.
he got back up, then cowered behind the nearest person, alala..
Please be peaceful. please be peaceful. Please be peaceful...
-
The twins looked up sharply as the roar echoed down the dim length of the passage.
"This may take longer then expected."
Ayara was still too surprised to make a withering reply. Both twins continued to listen as some of the others spoke.
"Well no point in just standing here...Lets get going."
"It won't hold forever if they know where the passage is."
"And we might as well get this over with what ever awaits us in here.."
"Vin you by any chance know where this leads?"
"Be prepared for anything guys."
Apparently, even the demi-titan was surprised.
What the hell was that?!
He paused for a moment, then spoke again.
Well, let's move, whatever that was we dont want to be caught by it- or the demi-titans. Oh, and to answer your question... hardly anyone knows about it, so if we're lucky they'll give the passage a blind eye and think we ran further in the halls. It's been a while since i was down here, so they probably changed the path to the exit.
Ayara peered down, trying to see into the dimness in front.
I'd rather not meet whatever the hell that thing is. We should get moving.
Artemis glanced around at the others.
I know now may not be the best of times, but perhaps as we move along we should do some basic introductions? It may prove useful to be able to refer to each other by name, instead of "Hey, you" or other such phrases.
To show what she meant, Artemis began.
My name is Artemis. My sister and I are daughters of Apollo.
Ayara scowled.
Fine, intros. Make 'em fast. Name's Ayara.
-
Tylan and Daylin
Tylan sighed, must they do this now? He placed his hand in his pocket, fingering his relic for reassurance before saying
My name is Tylan, son of Boreas god of the north wind. I really don' think my power is that important, but as you've probably noticed I can harden my skin, much like armor.
He pointed at the wounds that had been inflicted on his arms, which although weren't fatal, were a nuisance. He looked at his brother, signaling for him to speak.
The name is Daylin, son of Ares. My power, as you have probably seen, is strength.
Then Tylan looked around impatiently.
We need to leave.
(Change of plans, you will find out what the monster is after the introductions.)
-
efialtes looked around curiously.
My names efialtes, son of cybele! as you have probably seen I can turn into different animals! my favorite is become a cat. because then I get to be a kitten!
efialtes, now a cat so he can see..kinda okay in the dark, he saw Ayara scowling.
...You're new name is grumpy face.
(EFI NO. also. say if I need to change anything)
-
Alala
"My name is Alala Homados. It has meaning to it but would rather not explain it."
Looking at everyone around her trying to evaluate each of their powers...
"I am a daughter of Athena the Goddess of Wisdom."
"So yea my traits aren't physical but mental."
"But I am very skilled at combat too mainly because I have to be."
-
It looks like everyone was doing introductions, might as well introduce myself.
My name is Vin Harron, and I am a demi-titan, son of Hyperion. I dont want to say the "sobby story" again, as Ayara put it, so i'll just breifly summarise why I'm fighting for the gods. I killed my freind, felt guilty over it, and then joined the gods hoping to repent for what I did.
I noticed how plainly that sounded, and sighed. This was starting to get old saying the same story again and again.
I honestly wouldent blame you if you didnt trust me. To be honest I dont trust myself either. But no matter what, I'll continue what my freind started.
(say if I need to change anything. .-.)
-
Tylan and Daylin
Tylan nodded, the introductions were done. Another ear splitting roar shook the area and he sighed, they were probably going to have to fight whatever that was. He stood from the wall he was leaning against and waved for the others to follow, before starting to walk. Daylin just looked at his brother, before catching up to him.
Come on you guys, lets go.
Gm post
Oceanus sat quietly in the throne given to him. He was the Titan left behind to keep an eye on Mt. Etna while the others were gone. He looked down and noticed a small guard cowering at his feet, seemingly begging for mercy!
What have you need of, mortal?
The guard stood and whispered something only caught by the keen ears of a Titan.
The prisoners have escaped and ran to the maze below grounds.
Oceanus bellowed in outrage, pointing his finger at the guard and turning him to stone, before kicking him over and causing him to shatter! He pointed to the nearest Demi-titan and bellowed
You, go check this out now, follow them into the maze!
(Lubbies, he is screaming at you.)
-
Alala
Walking up behind Daylin and Tylin getting ready for what comes ahead.
"Yea you are right no matter what is in our path we must meet it head on.."
"If we are to get out of this place...There is only one way."
"And from the sounds of it. It is going to take all of our help on this..."
Clenching to my spear tightly preparing for what was coming to be.
"I can help with either defense or attacking if needed...I am very good at combat and this shield can take a good beating but won't last forever."
-
Whatever we face should be no problem as long as we stay together.
I started following them.
I'm good with both ranged and melee attacks, but I estimate I only have about 8 shots of my energy slash left... theoreticly.
I looked at them awkwardly.
Oh, I forgot to mention my attacks are limited didnt I?
-
Tylan and Daylin
Tylan and Daylin nodded at Alala, then turned the corner. What they saw cause them to instantly summon there weapons, jumping back Daylin whispered to Alala
Look around the corner.
Both Tylan an Daylin then cautiously peeked around the corner and then stepped completely out of hiding. In front of them was a ferocious creature, standing at nearly twenty feet tall its horns scraped the top of the maze, its human torso packed with muscle and its meaty bull like legs made the ground tremble with each step. On its back was a large wooden club, the size of a tree and Daylins eyes widened, that thing swas big! Both the brothers clenched their weapons in anxiety and then turned to Alala and Vin.
Tell the others to hurry up, this is gonna be one big battle.
-
Alala
"Something that big isn't as bad as you would think..."
Thinking quickly on the subject of that type of monster..
"2 legs 2 arms 1 head..............Alright best thing to do in this situation is..."
"Distraction immobilize then kill..."
"Someone needs to be able to stand up to it head to head...can be more than just 1 person."
"Need someone who can cut the tendons in his legs to where he can't move."
"Then an attacker to give the final blow to it that will kill it."
"I will volunteer for distraction or immobilization."
-
I took a quick peek and yanked it back, a minotaur?!?! I ran twards the
laggers others.
Guys hurry up, it's a minotaur! And a big one, we gotta back Daylan and Tylan up!
I sprinted back to them and redied my sword.
A minotaur in a maze... reminds me of something I heard in a book once... who was it?
-
The twins could hear Alala talking as we caught up to the others.
"4 legs 2 arms 1 head..............Alright best thing to do in this situation is..."
"Distraction immobilize then kill..."
"Someone needs to be able to stand up to it head to head...can be more than just 1 person."
"Need someone who can cut the tendons in his legs to where he can't move."
"Then an attacker to give the final blow to it that will kill it."
"I will volunteer for distraction or immobilization."
Ayara and Artemis moved forward, taking places next to the others.
Artemis and I both have long and short distance weapons. We can be put where ever you want us.
Artemis looked at the Minotaur.
This will certainly be an interesting fight.
A minotaur in a maze... reminds me of something I heard in a book once... who was it?
The twins both glanced at each other, then at Vin.
Theseus, in the Labyrinth. He used string.
Given to him by princess Ariadne, to find his way back out.
Course, then he left the princess on an island. But for now, we should worry about that.
Ayara jerked her head towards the Minotaur, in case anyone was DENSE enough to NOT know what "that" was.
-
Tylan and Daylin
Tylans head flew to the side as something caught his eye, the Minotaur had noticed them!
Split!
Then he rolled to the side, Daylin running beside them as the beast ran at the spot that the brothers were just in, and the others were still in, and swung the tree trunk club!
You all move!
-
efialtes turned into a bird and flew out of teh way...
I can be a distraction!
He quickly turned into a eagle.
Are there any weak points I can use to annoy it?
(HRGH Say if I need to change anything ._.)
-
Alala
I gasp as I see the Minotaur go into action....
I quickly dive roll into the hall way that the Minotaur was in. Avoiding the crashing blow of club.
"If we are doing this lets do this quickly there is no more time to think about it....Action everyone do it!"
"First part!"
I drop my spear for a moment and grab one of my daggers getting ready to throw it into his arm to get his attention.
"Efialtes if you can go for his eyes!" "Blind him!"
-
Ayara and Artemis both noticed the movement at the same time as Tylan.
Split!
Immediately, the twins both jumped to the sides in opposite directions, Ayara going left, Artemis going right.
"You all move!"
Already done that.
Both twins saw the movement as Efialtes turned into a bird.
I can be a distraction! Are there any weak points I can use to annoy it?
I don't know of a specific "weak point", but for now, try going for it's eyes! Don't let it catch you!
The twins simultaneously pulled out their long ranged weapons. (Ayara's bow and Artemis' knives)
Eat this, cow!
Ayara started taking quick shots at the Minotaur's unprotected areas-neck, legs, arms, whatever she could hit. Artemis began to do the same with her knives.
-
Efialtes "saluted" alala.
Yes mam!
Efialtes shot at teh minotuar and extended his claws at it.
I hope he doesn't catch me...
(ASHYDVBAUB say if I need to change anything ._.)
-
GM post
Tee Minotaur was hit with most of the knifes and arrows, but h grunted, they stung but nothing else thanks to his thick hide. He tried to grab the bird with one arm, while raising the club with the other arm, trying to crush Ayara, then Artemis in turn!
Tylan an Daylin
Tylan ran behind Daylin, the two charging at the Minotaur, weapons in there hands!
-
Efialtes was caught by teh minotuar, he started trying to flail.
I REGRET EVERYTHING! EVERYTHING I HAVE EVER DONE!
he quickly turned into a small lion and started trying to bit the thing so it would let go.
LEEEET GOOOOOOO!
-
Alala
"Efialtes!"
I quickly drop my shield and grab both my daggers and hurl them at the Minotaurs hand that was holding him...
Picking my shield and spear back up. Getting ready for what came next..
Looking at Daylin and Tylan..
"Daylin! Tylan! Watch out for his legs they are extremely powerful!"
-
The twins saw as Efialtes was caught, but were too busy avoiding the Minotaurs club to lend aid.
You know, I really hate bulls. Especially bulls with clubs.
Ayara rolled to the side as the Minotaur swung at her again, cracking the stone where it landed.
Artemis could see as Alala was helping Efialtes.
Sister, we should move in!
Ayara nodded, darting forward under the club, moving towards the creatures feet. Artemis did likewise from the other. Both kept dodging blows as they went.
As huge as that damn thing is, we can't do this forever!
As the twins ran, they both switched to their close range weapons. (Ayara's Kusarigamas and Artemis' Quarterstaff.)
-
I was a bit late in my dodge timing, and got launched into a wall, a bit dased. When I came to the minotaur had Efialties! I got up a bit in pan and raised my sowrd chargiing my attack.
Eat this!
I fired an energy slash at the minotaur.
-
Minotaur
He roared out and dropped the lion, then stumbled back from the blast of energy! He roared out again and swung his tree trunk like club at Vin!
Tylan and Daylin
AS they got close enough to the Minotaurs leg, Daylin swung his sword cutting through tendons and causing it to kick out on instinct! Tylan twirled his staff in front of him, the blades on the ends glistening from the light of the torches as the marble the staff was made of collided with the hoof of a Minotaur! Tylan struggled to hold his ground, being pushed backwards slowly, his feet digging into the soil! Several cracks sounded though the area as crooked lines spread slowly down the center of Tylans staff, then the thing broke completely in half, shards of marble flying in all directons! Tyland had only a spli second o harden his skin before the hoof slammed square into his chest, lifting his feet from the groun d and slamming him into a wall, which broke under the pressure, causing Tylan to fly even further! Finally his back slammed into the ground and he skidded further, making makrs in the dirt and he gave a sigh, his chest really hurt! Black slowly consumed his vision and he whispered
Be safe, my brother.
Before lapsing into unconsciousness. Daylin gasped, he had seen his brother hit before, but he had never been thrown that far and he had never seen the staff shatter! The staff could probably mend itself and Daylin was more worried about his brother! He prepared to leap, the muscles in his legs bunching as he shouted
Cover me!
-
Alala
Seeing what was playing out was not exactly how I planned it to happen.....
"Tylan!"
Without thinking I quickly grasped my spear and hurled it towards its leg impaling it into him in hopes to make him look towards me!
"Cmon give me what you got!"
Clenching tight to my shield.
-
My legs glowed as i swiftly dodged the swing.
HA! Not this time cow!
I then noticed Tylan went through a wall.
Owch....
Cover me!
I noticed Daylan leaped at the minotaur. I charged energy into my sword, wondering where to fire at, when I noticed one of it's legs getting impaled by a spear.
Take this!
I fired my energy slash at it's other leg.
-
The twins kept moving forward as things unfolded. Efialtes was released, Tylan went through the wall-
That has GOT to have hurt...
-and the various attacks made on the Minotaur.
"Cover me!"
Ayara and Artemis glanced at each other across the damaged passage.
We got it.
Ayara whipped her Kusarigamas forward, sending both of them to cut into the Minotaur's left leg, and pulling. Artemis kept running forward, then slid to a stop next to the leg, swinging the Quarterstaff out to her side and slamming it into the back of the monster's leg. The combined attempts on both legs caused it's knees to stagger, hopefully putting it off-balance.
(Tell me if that's overkill/I need to change anything.)
-
Daylin
With the beast staggering and distracted Daylin shot into the air, his blade whistling as it flew towards the Minotaurs beefy neck! Blood flew soaking Daylins face as the head toppled from the Minotaurs shoulders! Daylins blade disappeared, turning into a sjull which he pocketed, then landed on the ground! He picked up the head of the Minotaur and ripped its horns off, then walked through the shattered walls and carefully lifted his brother. He walked back to the others and laid his brother on the ground whispering
Someone heal him.
Then he turned to the others, we have a real problem.
That list that my brother read off, the Minotaur was the weakest thing on there, and we have to kill them all! We need to train, and I know just the way how. First off you get two choices, would you all rather do something like capture the flag, or an Olympic tournament?
(You all have to participate in the training, it's part of the event.)
-
Alala
Walking over to the Dead Minotaur....
Claiming back my weapons that was stuck in it..
Hearing what Daylin had said..
"Well it is true the Minotaur would be the weakest out of the bunch...."
"To be honest I am fine with either one...They will both be able to prove to have great experiences behind them both."
"But if we are needing to improve our combat skills a tournament could be more ideal for the situation."
"If we need more teamwork and coordination and battle tactics capture the flag would be more for the job."
"So to be honest I will now that I think about it the Tournament would work better for our favor than the capture the flag.."
"Because we proven we have fairly decent team work from this.."
"We had a plan. Executed it fairly well with one casualty....Not the best job ever but it did succeed."
"I promise I will be more thorough with my plan next time....."
-
Daylin
Daylins eyes glowed red n the dark, making him look truly demonic as he summoned his blade and pointed it at Alala menacingly.
You better have a more thorough plan, because that on casualty was my brother.
Then he turned to the others.
What do you guys think?
-
Alala
A little disappointed in myself about how things turned out...
"I will do better next time...."
"I should have said something about him being able to kick that hard."
Looking over at the others trying to decide which to do...
"I have explained which each of them will benefit us more with now you just have to decide which one we need more training in."
"Everyone has their own opinions on what went down just now and don't be afraid to express it.."
-
Daylin
No one should have an opinion but Tylan and Efialtes!
He pointed at his brother and the boy.
They are the only ones who actually got hurt in this! The rest of us gust played as a distraction!
He rared in anger, then drew back his sword and slammed it towards the wall, cutting it like butter! He breathed in deeply and whispered
Sorry.
-
Alala was talking about a 'plan' that i never heard about, and Daylin pointed his sword at her menacinly, threataning her. Then they started fighting.
Hey, that's enough of that. We need to stop pointing our blades at each other, the last thing we need is distrust, or we're doomed. What we SHOULD be doing is trying to figure out how to work as a team better and sharpen our abilities.
I crossed my arms, thinking.
As for the training thing, I'm not sure now is the best time, but if you ask me capture the flag would probably work better.
-
As the Minotaur was killed, the twins relaxed slightly. They both retrieved their various weapons from the body, then made their way over to the others.
"Someone heal him."
Artemis moved forward and kneeled down, working quickly to heal the various bruises, abrasions, and other injuries. While she worked, the twins listened to the others speak.
I don't care what we use.
I have no preference, either.
Artemis smiled a little.
Although capture the flag certainly sounds like fun~
-
efialtes was falling...
Well. I'm dead.
He then had the brilliant idea, hey, why not turn into a bird? he quickly turned into a brid and slowed down his fall not to kill him, but just to hurt him badly.
Remind me not to be in a flightless form when falling...
(ADHUIABIUDABI say if I need to change anything ._.)
-
Daylin and Tylan
Daylin nodded,.
I'l,l count that vote. That is two for capture the flag.
A groan filled the air and Daylin turned to see his brother slowly rising up. Suddenly Tylans eyes flashed open and he pushed Ayara out of the way shouting
Move shorty! Where is that damn Minotaur? I'm gonna kill him! Do you have any idea what it feels like to be kicked through a wall?
He whirled around frantically, but was grabbed by Daylin who said
I already got him brother, now relax, you'll split your wounds open again.
Tylan winced in pain as he sat down, man his chest really hurt!
-
efialtes slowly got up...
Ugh...That hurt...a lot...
then for once..he turns...HUMAN.
I vote for capture the flag....
(HRGH say if I need to change anything..)
-
Daylin and Tylan
Daylin nodded, then walked over to a skeleton laying on the ground nearby and ripped off the rags it wore. He ripped the rags into three pieces then handed on to Ayara, one to Alala, and kept one for himself.
The rules are this, the first team to hold all three flags win. You may not inflict severe wounds, the teams are simple since we have an uneven group. Tylan and I are team one, Ayara and Artemis are team two. Vin, Alala and Efialtes are team three. With that cleared up....
He paused and cupped his hands around hi mouth.
GO!!!!!
Then he and Tylan ran, carrying there flag, away from the group. After running for several minutes they stopped and Daylin looked up. He noticed a indent in the Maze wall above them, high up off the ground and difficult to reach. Tylan nodded and Daylin leaped halfway up the wall. He dug his heels in and began to climb, then once he was slightly above the halfway point he placed the flag in the indention and jumped back down. Tylan looked at Daylin and said
Lets guard for a bit, wait to see what everyone else does.
Daylin nodded and the brothers leaned against the wall, hands on there relic weapons in preparation.
-
Alala
Thinking to myself as this all happened...
"We are still in enemy territory....Aren't we supposed to be escaping..."
Sighing a bit from everyone getting off track..
"Alright you two we need to find a home base..I have several plans I would like to lay out to the two of you! Once we get a place."
-
Ayara stepped back a few steps after being shoved, and took the "flag" from Daylin, but then it registered what Tylan had said.
SHORT?! DID YOU JUST CALL ME SHORT?! I WILL F*CKING MURDFNAEUIORGYUVAQKUV!
The noise being Ayara's rant as Artemis clapped her hand over her sister's mouth and dragged her backwards.
C'mon, sister, let's go find a place for our flag...
After Artemis dragged Ayara out of sight of the others, she calmed down some. The two moved quickly down the hallway for a few minutes, turning occasionally, and always scanning for a good place.
Really is a maze, ain't it? Whaddya think would be a good way to place the flag?
Both twins kept scanning as they spoke.
Somewhere hard to spot and hard to reach.
Well, hard to reach isn't too difficult, we just have to climb the walls. But that's probably what everyone will do.
Having the flag hard to find in the first place would be to our advantage.
Definitely.
The twins were quiet for a moment as they searched. Then, as the twins were about halfway down a short hallway...
There! Up on the right. Where the wall meets the ceiling.
Ayara followed her sisters directions, and saw a small crack, about a hands length tall and a few feet long.
If we tuck it into that crack up there...
It'll be barely visible, and at least it'll take some time for people to reach.
They glanced at each other, and Ayara handed Artemis the flag, then moved to the wall. Artemis tucked the flag into her pocket.
I'll give ya a boost.
She laced her fingers together, bent her knees, and looked at Artemis. Artemis took a few steps back, then ran forward, and used Ayara's hands as a foothold. As Artemis stepped on her hands, Ayara unbent her knees and pushed her hands up, throwing Artemis into the air a little more than halfway up the wall. Artemis quickly grabbed onto the wall with her hands, using her feet to keep her body from slamming into the stone. After only a few seconds, she started to rapidly climb the wall. After only a few more moments, she was withing reach of the crack. Keeping hold with her left hand, Artemis grabbed the flag from her pocket with her right. She stuck the flag firmly into the hole, leaving only an inch of the end sticking out so that the flag was still visible. She then climbed down the wall as quickly as she had climbed up, and dropped to the floor.
Well, that's that. Shall we stand guard?
You wanna cover opposite ends?
Artemis nodded, and each twin headed to one end of the hallway. Each pulled out their long range weapon, and stayed out of sight, listening for when someone may come.
-
Tylan and Daylin
Brother, you go look for flags, I will cover ours and shout if I need you.
Daylin nodded and supported himself with his arms and legs as he dropped from the top of the wall, which he had climbed with some effort. Tylan leaned against the wall, his relic clutched tightly in his hand in case it was needed. He watched the back of Daylins head as he ran off and hoped his brother wasn't careless.
Daylin
Daylin rounded corner after corner, not even caring to be quiet as he ran. After sometime he thought spotted a rag sticking slightly out of a crack, but he wasn't sure. He ran straight at the rag, not paying attention to his surrounding as he got close to the supposed rag.
-
efialtes raises his hand..
I suggest we set home base at a dead end. or at a hard to find place in the maze..just...where..
he looked around frantically...but tripped when he encountered a crack in the floor...
nsuuni.....and this is why being a cat is more fun than human...
(BDUABBU say if I need to change anything ._.)
-
I was slightly baffled by his order. Is he seriously sending me out in my condition. I opened my mouth to speak but I decided against it, angry titans can be quite scary. I said in a slightly agitated tone.
Me-As you wish.
I headed in the direction of the maze entrance. My muscles were stiff and my wounds ached, now's not the time to complain. I stopped at the entrance, I lifted up the rock (?) and jumped down into the maze. (is that right?) I started to search for the escapees.
(you know, you could always help blades, meowth...)
-
I nodded as they ran off, looking at Meowth and Alala.
Alright you two we need to find a home base..I have several plans I would like to lay out to the two of you! Once we get a place.
I thought for a moment, a dead end would be too obvious, but in the middle of a hall would be even worse, then I had an idea, and looked around, then walked tward one of the halls of the mase.
Follow me, I just had a great idea how we can hide our 'flag'...
-
Alala
As I was following Vin to where he was wanting to lead us...
"Alright the plans I have laid out for us..."
"One- When we find our base we all set up an ambush with all 3 of us playing complete defense.."
"Two- We could if we find a good enough hiding spot for the flag all 3 of us go find the flags since they will more than likely all use the same strategy....1 defense 1 attack.."
"Three- have both defense and attack but this will cause our power to split and if caught outnumbered it is more than likely going to lose at the battle but you could also act as a scout in those manners and just scout out the flags and report back here retreating any time you find someone defending."
"Four- We just say screw it and give up which I don't recommend, But given the current situation of us trying to escape not sure why we started this so soon. Because I am sure the longer we stay in here the larger of a Titan force we are going to have to face..."
Looking at the two...
"But that is just my own assessment of the situation."
-
I suddenly stopped and looked around. This looked like a perfect spot.
This looks like a good spot, and your plans are decent, but I got somehting clever in mind...
I turned to both of them.
I propose we have a sort of 'decoy' to hide the real flag. Like say...
I take my sword and rip off a peice of cloth from my armor, that looks blue.
We put this in a crack on a wall, and people will think it's the real deal, since the lighting down here isnt too good. And we bury the actual clothing under it. But if they manage to get the decoy, they'll notice it's fake and come back for the real one... So i propose I mix my plan with plan number three. I can scout for the flag locations while you two guard the decoy and the real one.
(say if i need to change anything)
-
Alala
"Sounds to be quite the plan you have there."
Pleased with how the plan was going to play out.
"I will agree with you on the plan. Lets set things up and begin with it."
I start tightening my armor and such making sure everything was ready for a battle.
"Be ready to defend this flag even if it is fake....Gotta make it look like it is real."
"Decoys only work as well as the people portraying it to be real..."
-
Umbrea
Umbrea noticed that a Demi-titan was going into the maze, which was rumored to be the place the Demi-gods were hiding. She closed her eyes and slowly dissolved into shadows, appearing behind the Demi-titan in the maze.
What are you doing?
-
I was walking until I felt a strange presence, in an instant someone appeared behind me, I breathed in sharply.
?-What are you doing?
I let out my breath in a sigh.
Me-oh, it's you.
I turned around to face Umbrea, I didn't really talk to her and I hardly knew her.
Me-orders, what do you care anyway?
I raised my eyebrow in my curiosity.
-
Umbrea
Her face turned slightly, her silver hair hanging in the air.
Would there happen to be a prisoner with red hair and unreal strength? And another on with blue hair and freezing cold skin that can harden?
She pressed her back to the wall of the maze, awaiting an answer.
-
As she described the people, I instantly thought of the wounds that they caused me.
Me-Now that you mention I did see two people like that... Well I did more than see them...
I rubbed my nose and winced at the thought. I looked at Umbrea with even more interest.
Me-What's it to you anyway?
-
Umbrea
She decided to dodge the question and ask
What happened to you?
She opened her hands and shadows slowly began to form into Kunai knifes, if the man found out too much she would kill him.
-
Me-I uhhhh...
My cheeks flushed red. I mumbled.
Me-Ummm... I was ummm... Kinda... Beaten up.... Kinda...
I started to walk through the maze again. That girl makes me uncomfortable.
Me-See you... Well not really.
I quickened in pace.
-
Umbrea
Umbea closed her eyes and she slowly dissolved into the shadows, then reappeared in Cornelius path.
Beaten up by who?
She had one hand behind her back, a kunai between each crevice in that finger, ready if needed.
-
I clenched my fists as she reappeared again.
Me-I don't have time to play detective with you, maybe later Kay?
She's starting to raise questions, after this I'll have to watch her.
Me-now if you'll excuse me.
My voice had clear irritation.
-
Umbrea
Sounds to me like you got your ass kicked by the prisoners.
He began to walk away and she growled. She whipped her hand out from behind her and four kunais whistled through the air, aiming to pin him to the wall by his clothing.
-
The four shadowy weapons snagged my clothing and stuck me to the wall.
Me-what the hell do you think you're doing, I've got stuff to do.
My face was turning red, I heaved on my arms and legs and the cloth ripped. There were now gaping holes in my shirt and trousers.
Me-those were my favorite trousers!
I stepped in close to the girl.
Me-you've got serious problems lady... If you want to come with just ask.
I was now getting very frustrated.
(you ripped his pants b*tch)
-
Umbrea
Umbreas face was void of emotion as she said
I will accompany you, but you must first tell me who beat you.
She place her hands on the hilts of her swords that crossed her back.
Please do not make me force it out of you.
(Damn right I ripped your pants, I'm a ninja!)
-
I sighed in frustration.
Me-the same people you described just now.
I started to walk again.
Me-no more throwing weapons at me or you go in the think about chair.
I pictured her sitting in a tiny chair looking bored. I smiled at the thought, I even let out a little laugh.
-
Umbrea
Her face remained void, but she chuckled in an creepy way.
Looks like my brothers did a number on you.
Then she drew her swords, the one in her left hand crossing in front of her stomach in a defensive position. The right hand held the hilt of its sword by her ear, seemingly begging to strike the man down!
I'd like to see you put me in a chair.
Then she sheathed both her swords in the holsters that crossed her back and began to walk.
-
I swung around, eyes wide open.
Me-your whats!
I flushed deep, deep red.
Me-This didn't seem like a good idea to tell me before so I dont have to drag you back aaallll the way back to Oceanus.
I won't kill her, I will try not to hurt her.
Me-ok, I'll deal with you later.
I started to walk away, hand on the handle of my sword.
-
Umbrea
She shadow traveled in front of Cornelius and whispered in his ear
You know you want to attack me. Do it, give that primeval rage control, attack me.
She looked at him and pulled back before saying
Wait, you're scared. You couldn't beat my brothers, much less there older sister!
(Yeah she likes to taunt people.)
-
I say with sarcasm.
Me-Yes, I'm shaking in my booties.
She was right though, I lost to the brothers the first time, I don't know how I'm going to pull it off. I didn't want her to know so.
Me-Don't worry, I'll make sure to tell them they're sister loves them while I stab them repeatedly.
I ssexy maned.
(even in mah profile I said he taunts so :P)
-
Umbrea
Umbrea laughed, a full blown laugh that echoed around the cavern. She was defensive of her brothers, but this guy couldn't take them down.
Tell me, did they even have weapons when they beat you down? More like you'd be on the ground begging for mercy, Daylin standing above you his sword raised about to split your dome!
She continued to chuckle as she walked.
-
Me-You wanna take this outside?
The question was gnawing away at me so I finally let it out.
Me-who's side are you really doing.
I did some skips for some immature reason.
-
Umbrea
Umbrea chuckled.
Sides, why does it matter? People run around and switch betray and back stab all the time! would it help if I told you my father was Erebos?
Then the shadows around them began to move and disort and slowly shurikens began to form in her right hand while Kunais formed in her left.
We can fight if you want, but you have to stop skipping.
-
Me-As much as I'd love to, you'd probably wipe the floor with me, I'm not exactly on top of my game here.
I knew that I was going to lose, the numbers have been crunched, two on one is hardly a fair fight. With this luny as well the chances are even smaller.
Me-If only you could come outside, I'm not an inside fighter you know.
I yawned, I was now just walking randomly. Where are they anyway?
-
Umbrea
Umbrea looked at him, he would be no help getting to her brothers in this condition.
You are a child of the moon goddess, correct? Doesn't that mean you will heal when you are in the moon light?
She paused to think.
The moon should be out right about now. Grab my hand.
She reached her hand out, awaiting him to take it.
(Lubbies, just say you heal in the moonlight, it will make things much easier for me and you.)
-
(... You're asking me to grab a half traitorous persons hand... Ok ;D)
I nodded slowly, I reluctantly reached out my hand.
Me-you're not going to like, explode me or anything?
I was right before, she makes me very uncomfortable now. I grabbed her hand and closed my eyes.
Me-why am I doing this... Don't try anything funny.
-
(lmfao)
Umbrea
Once there hands were interlinked they slowly began to dissolve into smoke, her black eyes closed in concentration. The were quickly hurtling through the shadows at mind breaking speeds, before coming to a stop outside, right under the light of the moon.
Heal yourself and hurry.
-
I nodded and took both clothes, I climbed one of the walls, and found a decent sised crack near the top, then stuffed the decoy in there. then i jumped back down, and buried the real one under it, deep enough so no one can just step on it and find it. I made sure to put it under the decoy so we can find it if we need it.
Okay, that's done. I'll scout around, and you two should guard the erm... "flag".
I walked away quietly twards where Tylan and Daylan went.
-
Tylan
Ashe sat by there flag he noticed Vin rounding the corner. He quickly slid out of view and summoned his staff, shining in the light and looking like it had never broken. He prepared to leap from his spot when Vin got close.
-
As I was about to turn I noticed soemthing. Something shined further in that hall. I took a small look, redying my sword just in case. I couldent see anything down there, but soemthing was off...
(Say if i need to change anything)
-
Tylan
Tylan swore, he should have kept the sword from the light! He quickly slid from his cover and charged, one blade scraping the ground and spraying dirt into the air while the other was drawn back by his ear! When he neared Vin he twirled the staff above his head and swung one of the blades at his leg!
-
Suddenly Tylan jumped out of the shadows, and charged at me. That friggin ninja! I came out of my cover and redied my sword, but he created a slight smokescreen. I couldent see his attack, so i closed my eyes and focused on sound. I heard something from above.
Aha!
I put my sowrd up preparing for an attack from above, but then I saw what it was, it was his staff, and it wasent even aimed at me! Then I felt a sharp pain in my leg, and yelled in agony. I forgot about his blades! I staggered backwards, only making it worse.
AGH!... That was dirty...!
I redied my sword, for an attack.
(say if i need to change anything)
-
Tylan
Tylan leaped, his blade spinning above him as he rotated through the air! He quickly raised the staff above him and in an instant sent the marble of the blade hurtling towards Vins sowr hand, trying to disarm him!
-
This time I saw his attack coming, and blocked his attack with my sword. Then I pushed him back and countered with a spin slash twards his knee so he wont be able to jump all over the place!
-
Tylan
He closed his eyes, his whole body slowly beginning to harden. The sword hit his knees, but the cut was minor, no where near as deep as it would have been without his abilities!He winced, but regardless spun his staff above his head, once again trying to disarm Vin by hitting his hand with the marble of the staff!
-
He used his powers to block the major of the attack. Crap, i forgot about that. He did another attack twards my hand, again, and I blocked it, but this time instead of countering, I jumped back... which was a dumb Idea, cuz I'm pretty sure some blood just gushed out of my leg. Luckily I (half)planned for this... I charged a energy slash and instead of shooting it at him, I shot it at the ground and created a decent smokescreen. I limped away as fast as I could twards my teams base.
Bad day, bad day, bad day, bad day....
(say if I need to change anything. .-.)
-
Tylan
The smoke screen surrounded him and cleared after a moment, allowing him to see the fleeting back of Vin. He was just glad they hadn't attacked in teams! He sat back against the wall, ripping his shirt a bit and bandaged his knee, before wondering what was taking Daylin so long.
(Someone pin Daylin to a wall!)
-
After a couple of minutes of limping I looked back to see if he was following. To my fortune, it looks like he didnt bother, afterall he cant leave his flag. I sat down a moment and winced at the pain in my leg. GOD I wish I had Artemis or Ayara on my team, a healer would be great just about now. I riped at the lower part of my clothing, and wrapped it around my leg- better to live now than worry about fashion. I tested my leg out gently, it still hurt, but not as much, and the bleeding seems to have stopped. I got back up and quickly made my way to my team.
-
Artemis could here the loud footsteps of someone racing down the hall. Before she could move around the corner, Daylin came running past, not even noticing her.
Stealth is not his forte, is it?
Artemis quickly pulled out 4 knives with each hand, flinging them at the same time. Each hit it's mark, cutting through the clothing around Daylin. Each set of two knives each, crossed to make them more effective (as in, one is angled right and the other's angled left, making an x if you look at it from above) caught in his clothes, two sets just above his elbows, one on each side, and two sets close to his ankles on each leg. The force of the knives knocked Daylin backwards, pinning him to the wall an inch or two off the ground.
I do excel in capturing enemies without injury. You really should pay attention to your surroundings, Daylin. You ran straight past me.
Ayara, hearing the commotion, made her way over to Artemis and her prisoner, careful to still be listening for any other approaching enemies.
Man, you got the first catch. Lucky.
Ayara looked Daylin up and down.
...Did he really not notice you?
-
Daylin
Daylin voice was muffled as he spoke
You excel in catching, I excel in escaping.
With grunts he slowly ripped his legs backwards, the knifes that had pinned him falling out, his jeans ripping even more as they did so. He peeled his arms backwards, the knifes that restrained them once again shredding his clothes and falling harmlessly to the floor. His feet hit the ground and he popped his neck, sound echoing slightly as his demonic blade appeared in his hands.
It was low to pin someone from behind, let us see how well you do in close combat.
Then he slammed his foot into the wall, propelling his body forward, he spiraled through the air straight at Artemis, his blade extended!
-
Alala
Seeing Vin limping back towards us...
"What in the hell happened to you? I thought I told you not to engage anyone just to scout them.."
"Well it doesn't matter now tell me you at least found one of their bases."
Thinking to myself....
"This is bad he got wounded already....And not even 1 of their flags in our possession yet..."
"Think Alala think!....."
"I got another good plan for the decoy!"
"If it comes down to it....Efialtes I will be depending on you for this part!"
"If someone reveals where we are....Tie the decoy flag to Him and you transform into anything that can run fast."
"Portray it as a final stand."
-
What in the hell happened to you? I thought I told you not to engage anyone just to scout them..
Well I wasent the one engaging, and it wasent a complete loss... I located Daylan and tylans camp, thankfully, Tylan is alone. I couldent take him on my own because of that damn armor, and I cant use my energy blast on him without killing him or at least give him a fatal wound. I think we need to conentrate our attack power on their base since Daylan is gone. If my hypothesis is correct he's probably attacking Artemis' group. so now would be a perfect time to attack.
-
Alala
"Well in that case since we do have a decoy up I say all 3 of us attack him at once!"
Thinking carefully in my head...about everything...As I am saying this..
"Well that is what I hope will happen even if someone comes and finds our base they will just see the flag and grab it and run."
"So lets go get their flag quick!"
"Efialtes can you turn into anything smaller than a kitten? Like a mouse or something?"
"If you can I would like you to do that before we engage him and you sneek by while we fight him and steal the flag."
-
efialtes facepalms...
*sigh* if I have too...
He turns into a mouse...
I hate you all. Now I feel tiny-er than normal.../color]
-
I nodded, this might be our best chance.
Alright, follow me.
I started walking twards Tylans 'base'. I was slightly limping on my injured leg.
-
Tylan
Tylan leaned quietly against the wall, his eyes closed and his breathing shallow. He could hear the sound of foot steps approaching and once again hid behind the corner, careful not to let his blade shine this time as he summoned it.
-
Alala
"Alright lets win this!"
Looking over at Efialtes
"Try your best to stay out of sight...We are counting on you to get the flag."
Started following behind Vin...
"Lets do our best..."
Gripping my shield tight getting ready for anyone to ambush us..
-
Tylan
Tylan waited and watched as they got closer, then quickly steeped out of the shadows. He ran silently, one end of the blade spraying up dust as it hit the ground and the other tucked beside his ear! As he got close he leaped into the air, the wound not stopping him, and spun his blade above his head like a propeller, then slammed it through the air at Alala!
-
Alala
"I knew you would try the same trick twice!"
Quickly putting up my shield to block the attack.
Being able to quickly recover stepping back to assess the situation....
"Alright 1 person good at combat and high defense...."
Charging in with momentum I slash at Tylan's legs with the spear keeping my shield low.
-
Tylan
With the lower part of his staff blade he flicked the spear away, causing it to stab into the dirt.
Why must you all try to stab me in the legs?
His staff spun above his head as he propelled himself into the air, using the wall for a boost, then spun his blade at Alalas head!
(Nexalas didn't tell you Tylan attacked from the corner, so how did you know?)
-
Alala
"Aiming for such a small target is easily avoided!"
Quickly moving to the side avoiding the attack and letting go of the spear so it wouldn't hinder me...
Taking out one of the daggers...and pulling the shield in front of me...
"Vin I could use a bit of help here..."
Thinking to myself...
"Cmon Efialtes what are you waiting on..."
(I didn't mean I knew you attacked from a corner...I meant the whole ambush thing...When he said Well I wasent the one engaging it hinted to me that he was attacked aka ambushed and since he said you was alone It was obvious Tylan was the one who ambushed him since he was at your base..)
-
Tylan
Tylan landed on the ground, then looked up at Alala.
What's wrong, can't take me by yourself o'great leader of wisdom? Your plans are so great they blew me away, literally right through a wall!
Then he spun from the ground, his weapon moving in a blur as he tried to knock Alalas feet from under her!
-
(Was experiencing compuuter problems. :I)
I wasent able to join the fight right away because I was experiencing leg pains, but then the pain started going away and I noticed tylan getting ready to do another spin attack at Alala! My good leg glowed and I leaped at Tylan, kicking him in his side with decent force, enough to knock him back a few feet.
ENOUGH OF THE SPIN ATTACKS!!!
(Say if I need to change anything)
-
Tylan
Tylan sighed as he was shoved back.
That really didn't hurt.
He placed his blade defensively across his body, his voice low and dangerous as the wind slowly began to pick up around them, a cool breeze tossing his hair. He slammed his feet into the ground and jumped into the air, his blade stretching out and trying to sweep the legs from beneath both Vin and Alala!
-
This was bad, i only had enough energy for about two energy blasts. Then an idea pooped into my head.
This is either the dumbest idea I've ever had, or a brilliant one...
And my sword glowed, as if i meant for an energy blast, and I jumped over the blade, and slashed at Tylans staff while the enrgy was flowing through my sword!
(Say if I need to change anything, cuz to me it seems a little OP)
-
Alala
I was able to place my shield in the way to block but it still tripped me landing on top of my shield..
"Owowow...You are the one who went in full attack without fully evaluating the foe...."
"But yes the blame is with me for not having a full proof plan...I am still young."
Pushing myself up letting my shield stay on the floor.
Taking out the other dagger...
"I guess I should go full on attack them too!"
Seeing what Vin was doing....
Waiting to see how Tylan would react...
-
Tylan
Tylan lifted his staff above his head, the blade clashing and sending sparks as marble met steel! Slowly crack began to spread down Tylans weapon and he swore when it sudden;y crack! The staff snapped into two clean and even pieces and Tylan leaped back, the blade just ripping open the front of his shirt and causing it to fall off of him, revealing his bare chest and the long red scar that stretched across his back! He knew he needed to continue fighting so he held each piece of the staff in one hand, then took a stance, one blade stretching across his stomach defensively while the other was drawn back by his ear, ready for attack! He lunged forward, the weapon that had been by his ear arcing towards Vins sword arm while the other remained in a defensive position!
-
Alala
Dashing at him as he attacked vin...
"Try not to leave yourself too open!"
Attacking with just one blade straight at him.
"Take this!"
-
Tylan
Tylan smirked, something very rare for him.
You should pay more attention, for a child of Athena you aren't very attentive!
Ten he blade he had reserved for defense shot up, clashing with the daggers and stopping it from reaching Tylan! Then the weapon that had been aimed for Vin suddenly changed course, heading for Alalas arm!
-
Alala
I smirk back...
"Gotcha...."
Letting the blade go through my arm...
As it went through I was close enough to grab onto his arm with the same one.....
Allowing for the blade I didn't attack with an opening at extremely close range...
Thrusting it in for a strike...
(I only attacked with one blade :P)
-
Tylan
The blade pierced Tylans side seconds after he hardened his skin, still delving deep in, but keeping it away from any vital areas. He rips his weapon out of her arm, the blood smearing it, before he yanks her weapon out of his side! Searing pain flashed white hot through his body and his vision blurred for a second, but he took his stance from earlier then swung one of his weapons at Alalas side!
-
I slowly opened my eyes to find myself in the familiar sensation of the moons light. My cuts closed and my bruises started to change back to normal color. I breathed in relief. Now I was very confused though.
Me-What are you doing?
Something is very strange 'bout that girl. First she asks me questions then she pins me to a wall then she taunts me then she helps me...
-
Umbrea
Umbrea lowered herself to be mere inches from Cornelius face, then whispered
I can be your best friend and your worst enemy. Lucky for you I need your help.
She drew the swords from her back, crossing one in front of her stomach and drawing the other back behind her ear.
You need to prove you have some strength.
Then she seemed to dance as she leaped into he air, small spirals sending her gracefully towards Cornelius with her blades at the ready.She truly was an evil angel.
(Reference to my favorite band!)
-
As the sword neared her side, I interveined and bocked it with my sword! Then I pushed it back and countered by stabbing his arm!
-
Tylan and Daylin
Tylan blocked the stab Vin sentat him and screamed one word
Daylin!
The word echoed around the maze, catching Daylins ear and causing him to stop his attack! HE looked at the twins for a moment before saying
I'll be back.
Then he ran from the corner, his feet carrying him at high speed across the ground! He rounded one last corner and saw his brother fighting with two people and losing!
Brother!
Demonic blade in hand he slammed his foot into the wall, launching him into the air! With the blade swing towards the neck of Vin he swung a kick at Alala!
-
efialtes had falling into a crack while in mouse mode and following vin..once they got there..he sat there...
*in head*How in the world will I get up there.... how in the world will I get out of this crack...
he then gets a idea..he turns into the next smallest thing he can do, a very small bat.. he manages to get out of the crack, and shoot up at the flag...
(ASUBDIUABUAB say if I need to change anyth-Oh wait...I'm not done yet....)
Mikto, because you knew it had to come sooner or later.
Mikto was walking outside the mountain, when he saw a...odd. sight. It looked as if a demi-titan was attacking another demi-titan...
Ooooh~ It looks like things will get bloody...
He sits down to watch this. he was happy, it had been awhile since he last saw bloodshed...
(HRGH. now say if I need to change anything ._.)
-
Oh crap, Daylins back! He charged at us, looking a bit pissed and swung his sword twards my head! I quickly blocked with my sword, but the force was a bit too much and i got launched into one of the mase walls! I fell to the ground, hurting. I attempt to stand up, and barely do so, and I ready my sword.
-
Daylin
Daylin let his red eyes glow in the dark, his rage slowly taking over as he saw his brother injured. He drew the demonic blade up to is shoulder, his lips drawn back in a feral growl as he charged, swinging his sword at Vin break neck speeds!
Tylan
Tylan closed his eyes and his weapon vanished, then reappeared an instant later, looking as if it hadn't broken a second time. He let one end trail on the ground while the other was drawn back by his ear as he charged at Alala, one end of his blade whistling towards her arm as he growled
Lets see how you do in a real fight, not a cowardly one!
-
My sword glowed. It worked the first time, it might work the second time! I blocked his slash while my sword was glowing, hoping to break his sword. but soemthing unexpected happened.
*CRACK*
The exact opposite was happening! My sword was breaking!
D-.... Dammit!
At the exact moment when it shattered i was launched into another wall, this time I was knocked uncontious, with one half of my sowrd spinning through the air and sinked into the ground next to where I landed.
-
Daylin
He laughed, his rage overtaking him as he whirled around towards Alala! He saw Tylan attacking her arm! He ran at her, his demonic blades tip scraping the sandy floors of the maze and throwing up small clouds of smoke before he swung his foot in a kick at the legs of Alala!
-
Spectrome sighed. He has stayed back at the armory when everyone else had left. He promised that he would return to them when they completed whatever mission they had been told to. He didn't really see it as his own mission. "It was directed at the demi-gods and the demi-titan. Not me," He spoke softly to himself in Turkish, resting on the coils of his lower body. He didn't have to worry about the demi-titans patrolling the area. They though he was on their side, and didn't even bother to ask. They were peaceful, in a way. And, more hopeful.
He sighed once more, and lowered his head, waiting for some sort of call.
-
Alala
Daylins kick hitting my legs tripping me as I felt something crack....
"Gyah! My leg!"
Falling to the ground .....
Not being able to get back up I quickly crawl to my shield...
-
Tylan and Daylin
Tylan looked at her, then waved for Daylin to watch the flag.
Do you surrender?
He collapsed to one knee as the question left his lips, his skin becoming ghostly pale from the blood loss as he clutched one hand to his side. Shakily he struggled to his feet and pointed at Vin.
Take your team member and get away from here, I don't care if you have to crawl.
Then his weapon vanished and he turned towards the flag, where Daylin was already standing guard, to assist his brother.
-
efialtes kept flying, when he finally got there he grabbed the cloth with his bat mouth..
*muffled*I GOT IT!
he then started flying away to look for ayara and artemis's base..
Fly faster tiny bat wings... at this rate they'll get meh!
(HRGH. say if I need to change anything..)
-
Tylan and Daylin
Both leaped int action, Tylan summoning his staff and throwing it into the air like a spear, hurtling towards the flag in the bats mouth, trying to rip it out! Daylin leaped into the air, latching onto the wall around ten feet up. He quickly scaled the rest of the wall, then leaped onto the top, his feet hitting the wall top with a thud! He ran along it quickly, catching up to the bat in under a minute and leaping through the air at the bat, trying to tackle it!
-
I slowly came back to contiousness, and got up in pain.
Take your team member and get away from here, I don't care if you have to crawl.
I slowly got up, extremely sore, and limping on my leg.
I'll take my self away if that's okay... owww.....
I picked up one half of my sword and half walked, half crawled twards the other peice and picked it up.
You win this round.... and I doupt we'll be back...
I started walking away when Efialtes suddenly did one of the stupidest stunts yet. He flew overhead and took the flag! Dosent he know we cant fight?!
I tried yelling at him. E-Efialtes wait! Unfortunately I wasent that loud at all, and I dont think he heard me since he flew off. The brothers went after him, and I couldent do anything at this state, so I just limped my way to the base.
-
efialtes dodged the spear but was hit by dylan's tackle.
uh9ihfaiunia, I suck at echo location...
he dropped the cloth out of his mouth and tried to get away..
May I retreat now?
-
Tylan and Daylin
Daylin stood and dusted himself off before grabbing his flag and hiding it in his pocket. Tylan fell, his back pressing against a wall and blood flowing through and staining his shirt. The staff on the ground vanished and a Relic appeared in Tylan hand before he looked at Daylin and whispered.
Now get the others away from us.
Daylin nodded, the concern for his brother shining in his eyes as he drew his sword and pointed it at Efialttes.
Will you all leave peacefully, or do I need to force you?
-
Vin
I held my hands up, with both parts of my sword in both of my hands.
I say we give up.
Kain
Kain was walking down the hall, a bit lively.
Hm, hm, hmmm~! Oh I hope i get to kill something today. One of those escapees has to be around here somewhere!
He stopped near the armory and looked around.
Hmmm, mabye there's a hint to where they went around here...
(say if I need to change anything)
-
GM post @ Nexalas
Soot filled the hall where a demi-god had lit flames, that had long since been extinguished. Guards shuffled all around the hafl monster and whispers surrounded him.
Did you hear, something in the underground maze has stirred the minotaur.
One says to another as the pass the half monster. As all monster, even half, could sense the use of the Demi-god or demi-titan powers it was easy to tell someone had shadow traveled here recently and sounds where coming from right outside the walls of the mountain.
(Hope this can give your character and idea of what to do Nexalas.)
-
Kain
I thought for a moment, this was interesting. Something disturbed the minotaur? And not onyl that I could sence soemthing shadow traveled outside... I'm pretty sure that was one of the demi-titans powers, forgot what her name was though. But the mase on the other hand... sounds interesting. Was it possibe the demi-gods escaped there? Hmmm... mabye I can have some fun down there...
I walked passed the armory and found the secret passage. Someone left it open though... (lubbies' character left it open I think.) I jumped down and looked around.
Hmmm... the lighting seems worse down here than usual...
He started sneaking quietly through the halls...
-
Alala
Sitting there thinking from the defeat...
"This was really only a test for me, vin and efialtes..."
"The others can't really benefit from this if they are just working with who they normally work with..."
"So why....why haven't I learned anything from it..."
Sighing a bit as I pull my self up and support myself against the wall and on my leg that wasn't broken.
"This is gunna be a real pain to get back to our base like this..."
Leaning against the wall and jumping closer and closer to my base...
-
Tylan and Daylin
Tylan held one hand over his stomach, trying to stop the blood flow. He staggered after Alala, then as he caught up he grabbed her shoulder.
I can tell, you're not the first child of Athena I've met. You wonder what you did wrong, why you couldn't beat us. You rushed into this battle, thinking you could take just me, but you seem to not have noticed. Look at how Daylin and I fight, I constantly defend, letting him handle the attacks. You should have noticed that, my job during this whole game has been to defend the flag and stall until Daylin got back. I never tried to beat you, just stall you.
He let out a sigh, he was going to regret this.
It is time to train, Daylin and I are going to show you Efialtes and Vin the meaning of team work.
Tylan held out his hand that hadn't been clutching his stomach.
Take my hand, I'll help you back to the base you have set up.
-
Alala
Thinking to myself
"This is probably just a trick to get our flag..."
"But what choice do I have...."
Start talking to Tylan
"I guess so..I am young and have lots to learn still."
"I knew from the start this was more training for us 3 than anyone else..."
"Capture the flag is all about tactics and team work...You and your brother have both pretty well down...Same goes with Ayara and Artemis I am sure."
"I have been in a few battles but doesn't mean I know everything there is to know about them yet...I know many strategies but none of them are full proof yet."
"I am very good at combat, but I know I am not the best...Which is why I know I will get better since I can admit my weakness."
Reaching out taking his hand to use as extra support...
"I hope ya know this isn't the greatest feeling in the world...The leg I mean.."
"Or the fact that I am getting help from our "enemy" at the moment"
-
Tylan and Daylin
Tylan helped her, limping slowly forward as he struggled with his own wound. Once he saw a flag sticking out of a crack he figured that must be there base and he gently sat her down. HE bent down on his knees beside her looking at her leg.
You know, this looks dislocated, not broken. I could fix that for you, that is if you'll allow me.
-
Alala
Looking at him with an extremely confused look on my face...
"Ummm I am pretty sure I heard a crack when it hit but yea you never know I guess..."
Trying to think.....
"I guess it would be alright for you to give it a shot...I doubt my leg could get any worse..."
"Plus it would be nice to get it fixed so I could go get my spear and shield since I kinda left them behind..."
-
Tylan and Daylin
Daylin, go get here weapons, aAala your leg is going to be very cold for a moment, but it should numb it.
Daylin nodded and disappeared, sprinting away Tylan closed away and wind swirled slightly around him in a cold breeze. His hands began to gather frost and he slowly placed them on the red mark that had been gathering on the outside of Alalas skin. He let it lay there for a moment, before retracting it, knowing the skin should be numb. He let his hand cool down before he placed them around the dislocated bone.
Brace yourself.
Then he twisted the leg and with a satisfied smirk felt and heard the bone fall back into place just as Daylin rounded the corner with her weapons. Daylin laid the weapons on the ground beside her and Tylan stuck out a hand, offering to help her up.
Are you ready to begin your part of the training?
-
Alala
Tylan numbed the part that was hurting....And then snapped it back into place..
"Gyah! Numb or not that crap hurts!"
Are you ready to begin your part of the training?
"What are you talking about? My part of the training?"
Allowing him to help me back up as I place my weapons in their sheathes and grabbing my shield and putting the spear in a sheath I had on my back.
Looking down I could see his wound....
"Umm shouldn't you get that checked out first?"
-
Tylan and Daylin
Tylan scoffed.
Don't worry about me, I've had a lot worse.
He pressed his hands to his wound and closed his eyes. The blood was slowly stopping and he was numbing it y freezing his hand. He winced, it still hurt, but he would deal. He slowly pointed at Daylin and whispered in to her
How would you take on a foe like Daylin, not a single one of your team members can take him in close combat. So how would you take him?
-
Alala
Ripping a piece of cloth off from my shirt under my armor...
"Well I am sure it would be a good match I guess..."
"Could someone do me another favor....The stab wound on my arm is kinda extremely difficult for me to reach with both hands since it is kinda hard to bend my hand that way..."
"I am sure it would be great training....But to be honest I am kinda out matched always have been against someone with an actual God power....Intelligence is great and all but that isn't the only thing that can win a war....No strategy in the universe is good enough if you can't hurt the foe."
"But if you want to know a strategy to to beat him...There is one single weakness I have seen of him so far...And that is you....If someone actually has the upper hand and has your life threatened I am pretty sure they could get Daylin to do what they wanted."
"Also he is strong with attacks sure....But as I said in my previous statement his defense is his weakness....Out smart him like I did with you in order to get close enough to stab you....And it would be quite affective. But at the same time I would have to avoid the attack instead of letting him stab me. Since he has super strength heh he might cut my arm off..."
-
Tylan and Daylin
He took the cloth from her, gently wrapping it around her arm before answering her.
Ah, but that is where you are wrong. Even with the powers of a god, every enemy has his weakness. Daylin is fast and strong and is hard t counter, but as you said he clumsily leaves himself open. Now, child of Athena is where you learn the true power of wisdom. Tell me, do you ever have a default plan if one plan goes wrong?To answer your last question, no Daylin would not follow there command. I made him promise long ago that he would not give into an enemy to save me.
-
efialtes flailed his arms.
YOU'RE LEAVING ME BEHIND AGAIN!
He turned into a small tiger and ran after them.. once he got there he flailed his paws.
Stop leaving me behind!
(HRGH...say if I need to changeanything ._.)
-
Alala
"Sometimes I am able to come up with backups. "
"Doesn't happen very often since I have only ever really trained and only been in one big battle..."
"Aka when we got caught...I have been in fights but nothing on that magnitude.."
"I am sure if I gave it some thought I could make several fall back plans for certain situations."
"Oh and also I am sure it will be put to the test one day of that promise...No matter how much you promise that is going to be an extremely difficult decision for either of you."
-
Tylan and Daylin
I had a friend named Warren, child of Athena, he was killed in the last battle. He taught me a lot of strategies, and there was one key essence. Always have a back up plan. He had no extraordinary powers, yet he could beat Daylin and I in a fight at the same time simply using two daggers. You over estimate children of the gods with abilities, even they have a weakness. For example, me. I am not skilled in offensive combat, and even my armor isn't impenetrable.
He paused and placed his hand on his heart, then whispered
You are the only other living being alive to know this, but no matter how hard I try, the skin above my heart and the heart itself cannot harden. It is impossible.
He turned as he saw Efialtes approaching and said
Are you ready to be trained child?
-
efialtes sat there puzzled.
So...the guy that threw his sword at me spear-like...is going to train me... seems legit..
he then turns human again..
But, yes, I am ready.
(HRGH..say If i need to change anything ._.)
-
Tylan and Daylin
Tylan nodded at the boy.
I have noticed you tend to not know what exactly to do. You wander around like a lost puppy. You need to work on your transformations. For example, what would you do if I did this?
Then he drew back his fist and swung a punch at Efialtes!
-
efialtes quickly turned into a small bird to try and get away, this was a bad idea because he was hit, and since he was a smaller animal, it hurt more. a lot more.
OW! OW! OW!
he is sent flying into a wall... he slowly gets back up...
I thought I would be taught, not sent into a wall...
((ABUABDAUBNDI say if I need to change anything ._.)
-
Tylan
He sighed.
Tell me, why didn't you transform into a bear, or better yet a dragon or something my fist wouldn't phase?
He clutched his hand to his head.
Kid you aren't meant for close combat. Much like Alala you must outwit your opponent. You can adapt to almost any move.
Then he tried to punch Efialtes again,, hoping he would take his advice.
-
efialtes smirked..
Bear or dragon...hmm...
he quickly turns into a bear and takes the hit.
So....did I pass this part?
(._. you know what goes here.)
-
Tylan
Tylan pulled his fist back and asked
Why can't you do things like that in a real fight?
He awaited an answer quietly.
-
efialtes turned human..
I don't know, I don't really think things through?
He pulled the hoodie over his head and pulled the strings, making it start going in all around his face..
*muffled* next lesson please?
(HRGH...say if I need to change anything ._.)
-
Tylan
Tylan smiled, Efialtes really wouldn't like this one.
I want you too fight in human form, never know when you may run out of energy.
Tylan slowly got to his feet and took a defensive stance, they would be fighting hand to hand.
-
Efialtes groaned...
You have GOT to be kidding me...
he lifted the hood off his head...it would just get in the way...
I hate you all...
He got in offensive fighting stance...
(HRGH...say if I need to change anything ._.)
-
Tylan
Tylan quickly slid forward, his fist swinging through the air at Efialtes head like a club!
Efialtes, pay attention, think quickly!
Tylan was hoping Efiatles wasn't going to get hit but.....
-
efialtes jumped back, dodging, but in the process lost his balance and fell on his back...
I hate being human...
He quickly got up and tried to punch tylan...
*Sigh* this wont end well...
(HRGH....you know what I was going to say ._.)
-
Tylan
The punch collided with Tylans open palm as he blocked it, the swung a counter punch!
You need to stay in human form more! You never know when it could come in handy!
Then as his fist flew at Efialtes head he tried to knee him in the gut!
-
efialtes was hit by both attacks and sent back a good bit.
Ow and OW!
He runs at tylan, and throws another punch...
Maybe I should! maybe I shouldn't!
(HRGH....)
-
Tylan
Tylan easily catches the clumsy punch before leaning into Efialtes ear and whispering
You definitely should.
Then he raised his knee, trying to knee him once again.
-
efialtes was hit again..and was knocked back..
OUCH!....Grr...
He got up...
Okay, I'm ticked now. screw the human form thing.
he quickly turned into a bear and ran at tylan..
(SIINTCA[say if I need to change anything])
-
Tylan
He stepped out of the way and the bear barreled past him, then he said to Efialtes
Finally, do you get the message of this training session?
Before Efialtes could respond Tylan said
It was to teach you that Demi-gods play dirty to survive.
-
efialtes turned human again...
Jerk... that hurt... oh well..
He stretched a bit then leaned up against a wall.
I think I might start staying human though. its kinda fun... and hoodie's are comfy.
He pulled the hood over his head and pulled the strings, so it closed in, so you couldn't see much of his face.
-
Tylan
Tylan sat on the ground,letting his body rest as he turned towards Efialtes.
What would you consider your greatest strength Efialtes?
He slowly got to his feet, ready to continue and awaiting an answer.
-
Efialtes groaned... Did this mean more?
*muffled* Power or agili-.....power, more specifically the power of the animals I can turn into.
He undid the hoodie and looked at tylan.
What now?
[SIINTCA]
-
Tylan
Tylan slowly waled to Efialtes.
I am going to give you a few test and see how you solve them.
He picked up a pebble from the ground and threw it up, high into the air.
The first is simple, catch that pebble before it hits the ground.
-
Efialtes nodded.
Seems easy enough.
He turns into a eagle and shoots into the sky, and opens his beak wide..
a little more.... A liiiittlllllle moooooore....
He opens his beak wide, then starts closing it, right around the pebble...
[SIINTCA]
-
Tylan
Tylan nodded, then looked to Daylin, who knowing what Tylan was up too had collected an armful of pebbles. Daylin quickly began firing pebbles at Efiales in razor sharp speeds!
You must dodge them and find a way to stop them.
-
I unsheathed my sword and parried the blow, there was suprising power behind the strike. I jumped backwards.
me-Not bad or a girl, what exactly do you need me for?
I charged, feinted a blow with my sword and I swung a ball of shadowy shadows at her face with my left hand. This lady is very, very, very, very strange.
(sorry for da late reply.)
-
Umbrea
The moon cast shadows in all directions and as the shadow ball flew at her kunais were formed and thrown straight into the ball! As the first Kunai hit an explosion went off, sending smoke into the air around them! She charged Cornelius, her blades pointed forwards and at the last second flipped into the air above him, before shadow travelling onto the ground behind him. She leaned into his ear and whispered
To take out the demi-gods of course, I'll be recruiting others I judge as strong.
Then, still behind him she back flipped into the air, several shuriken and Kunai forming and flying at his back as she sheathed her swords, then gracefully landed on the ground.
-
I spun round and started to do the matrix dodge. A few of the thingies cut me but I was not dead so yeah. Blood seeped from the cuts.
me-Meanie face!
I swung my sword in a wide arc, the blade cut through the air smoothly.
-
Umbrea
Her blades, which she had whipped out from the sheathes, catch the sword in between them. Then she quickly pulled back and sheathed her blade again, kunai and shuriken filling the crevices between her fingers as she throws a barrage of kunai and shuriken at him, before drawing her swords again and shadow travelling into the darkness, out of his sight!
-
I raised my sword and some of those things bounced off, a few of them actually stabbed me. I winced.
me-STOP DOING THAT!
I tooka deep breath and pulled the thingies out. I almost let out a cr but I held it in. My previous cuts just started to heal. I couldn't see her anymore so I decided to have a shadow ball ready, it started to form in my hand.
-
Umbrea
She began to travel everywhere in the shadows, whispering
I'm here.
And throwing barrages of kunai at him! As she threw several more shuriken and Kunai she vanished, dissolving into the shadows and reappearing right above him, blade drawn and pointed down as she whirled and feel like a tornado at his head!
-
me-You are really annoying.
I ducked and shot a shadow ball straight up into the air, the thingies flew just over head and the sound of whistling thingies filled my ears. Blood was pooling at my feet, the wounds weren't healing fast enough, at this rate I'll exhaust my self too quickly.
-
Umbrea
Umbrea crossed her swords in front of her, the ball of moonlight pressing against them for a moment before sending both swords flying in opposite directions and digging into the ground. The ball of moonlight slammed into Umbrea chest, causing a cry to escape her pale lips and making her silver hair splay wildly around her. She landed heavily on the ground, her shirt scorched in the chest are and in some parts very revealing of supple skin, but she stood seemingly oblivious as she struggled to her feet, a satisfied smile gracing her lips. She shadow traveled to her swords before sheathing them both across her back and looking at Cornelius.
you passed.
-
Vin
I've been sitting against a wall, slowly recovering from that last attack, and watching the others train.
Why are we training? Not that we dont need it, but to me it dosent seem like a good time.
I looked at my broken blade... now how do I fix this damn thing?
Kain
I walked down a few of the halls, a bit lost and not knowing where i'm going.
Now if I was a demi-god.... he'd be right over- HERE! huh?
He turned to a dead end, and dropped to his knees.
*groan* ...... At this rate i wont get to kill ANYTHING. T_T
-
I sighed in relief as she said that I'd passed, I looked up at her her. Her clothes were scorched and there were large "openings" in her shirt. She was quite beautiful. I couldn't pull my eyes from her chest. (mwahahahaha!) I started to blush a I realised I was staring. I couldn't say anything as my mind was "occupied."
-
Umbrea
Umbrea crossed her arms over her chest as she noticed his gaze.
What exactly are you looking at?
There was no blush on her cheeks, just an amused twinkle in her eyes. She quickly pulled her arms into her shirt, then flipped it around. The burnt clothing revealing a lot of skin on her back, but her chest being covered. She reached out her hand and whispered
Take my hand, we have someone to meet.
Tylan
Tylan turned towards Vin who was looking at his swords.
Would you like some assistance, I think I might know how to fix it.
All the while Daylin still hurled pebbles at Efialtes.
-
Vin
I nodded.
Honestly, that'd be a big help, cuz this sword is a bit un-replaceable.
Kain
Kain was bored like mad, and was just ITCHING to kill something.
Uuuuugh.... this is oh too boring. Mabye i should head back and find someone with a sence of direc-
He looked back, only to notice he has no idea which way he came from.
...tion....
(GAH! I keep getting the colors wrong! DX)
-
Umbrea-What exactly are you looking at?
I quickly looked up, my cheeks reddened even more, that was awkward.
me-uuhhh... ummm... no-nothing... yeah... nothing.
I smiled innocently but my cheeks told her otherwise, she turned around.
Umbrea-Take my hand, we have someone to meet.
She held out her hand.
me-ummmm, ok.
I took hold of her hand.
-
Umbrea
The instant she had his hand the two began to dissolve, slowly reappearing in the maze beside a demi-monster. (Nex you char.) She looked at him, then reached out a hand and said
Take my hand if you are interested in the death of those demi-gods.
Tylan
When you kicked me earlier you focused power into your legs,maybe if I hold to the sword together and you power up both your hands while pressing them against the mark it might either heat up enough to weld it together or force it back together.
Tylan took the two pieces of the sword and held them together, waiting for Vin to try and see if it worked!
-
Vin
I had barely enough energy for a task like that, but it was worth a shot.
Alright, let's try it.
I put my hands on the crack and concentrated my energy into it. Then the crack slowly started to disappear!
Kain
That shadow girl pooped out of nowhere!
Take my hand if you are interested in the death of those demi-gods.
Kain acted like he thought for a moment, then took her hand.
As long as I get to kill something.
-
Umbrea
With both there hands in her Umbrea and the other slowly dissolved into shadows, then reappeared outside where they had been moments before. Umbrea smiled, her lips curling upwards as her eyes sparkled in delight.
Cornelius, could you do me a favor and test the recruit since you are SO strong?
Umbrea could barely stop herself from laughing as she as she asked him to fight the new comer.
(I am gonna call it. NO HOMO!)
Tylan
Tylan let the sword fall to the ground, completely fixed!
Are you ready to begin training?
-
Vin
I nodded, a bit tired.
Now is the best time since i cant really use my power.
Kain
Kain looked at Cornelius, a bit of a nerdy name if you ask me. I got in a fighting position.
He started talking with a mocking tone. Oh please, go easy on me oh so powerful Cornelius.
His right eye seemed to glow for a second. He already copied his ability.
-
Tylan
Tylan nodded.
First off, what do you consider your greatest strengths and weaknesses? Physical and mental. In and out of battle.
He looked at Vins weapons and signaled for him to put it away.
You won't need it.
-
I put my sword against a wall, and considered the question for a moment.
My greatest strength is my speed and physical strength, once my actual power is charged. But I'm also good with stradegies, mostly stradegies that involve defending. However without my power I cant rely on my physical strength or speed.
i crossed my arms. Was he going to train me for my weeknesses?
-
I groaned. I said in a whiney tone.
me-But he's such a copycat.
I quickly shut up kowing how scary Umbrea can be.
me-fine.
I unsheathed my sword, jumped and stabbed at his chest.
-
Tylan
So basically you're dead weight once you are out of energy? Man, this is going to be harder than I thought. Kid,we are going to run a simple test, touch my hand.
He hardened his skin, he knew it was going to freeze Vins hand if he touched him, but he needed to see just how gullible he was!
-
Kain
I smiled my insane smile. The moon was full. I dodged and raised my hands, blasting him away with shadows.
Oh? So I guess you already know who i copied...
Vin
I was about to touch his hand, but then I stopped and pulled it away.
What happens if i do?
-
I rolled out of the way of the shadows. I quickly got up and threw my own shadow ball at him, I quickly followed this up with a charge, sword slashing.
me-You don't have the same experience with my powers.
-
Kain
I swiftly dodged the shadow ball, and the sword slashes.
And you dont have the same experiences with combat!
I jumped back and fired another shadow ball at him from mid-air.
(say if I need to change anything.)
-
me-I've had my fair share of combat.
I tried to side-step the ball but it clipped my han and the skin burned till it was shiny pink and tender.
me-ouch.
I shook my hand, it stung and was swelling. That's just a pain in the ass... or the hand. I closed the distance between me and him swiftly and stabbed at his chest repeatedly.
-
Kain laughed when he hit his hand.
I guess this power really comes in "handy" eh? Hah Hah hah hah!
He stabbed at me repeatedlly, aiming for my chest, and I dodged most of the stabs swiftly, but the last one got my in the shoulder.
GAH!.... Grrrr.... why you little...
I grabed the blade with one of my armored claws and yanked it to one side and used the other hand to try and fire a shadow ball into his face!
(say if I need to change anything. ._.)
-
I intercepted the shadow ball with one of my own, it was now a battle for who's ball of shadows was stronger.
me-Let's see your combat training help you now.
I grinned, my power was slowly waning but I was to phsyched to notice.
-
Kain
I jumped back a few feet and smiled my insane smile. I just had a fun idea.
Alright, let's see who runs out of juice first!
I started firing shadow balls at him, at a steady rate. What I didnt know is that we were btoh in the same state.
(say if I need to change anything)
-
Umbrea
Umbrea front flipped over Cornelius, intercepting each shadow ball with one of her swords and redirecting it into the ground! She sheathed both herr swords and whispered
This fight is over.
Then she turned away,walking back behind Cornelius.
Tylan
Nothing happens, just take my hand.
-
Kain
I crossed my arms and pretended to pout.
Awww, your no fun. :I So, when do we KILL- I mean, attack the demi-gods?
Vin
I took his hand.
Alright, but I dont see why- AH! MY HAND!
He friggin froze my hand!
Why did you do that?!?!
-
Umbrea
She instantly whirled around, throwing a shuriken at him. As it flew she shadow traveled behind him and whispered
We go once I say we are ready, and we aren't yet.
Tylan
Tylan with drew his hand.
You're to gullible, why in the hell did you take your enemies hand?
-
I stuck out a tongue at Kain from behind Umbrea. I licked my lips.
me-Anyone else we need to "recruit?"
I raised my eyebrow. I wasn't too up to fighting anymore though.
me-If we fight those demi-gods doesn't that mean we'll fight your... I mean those people you were talking about?
By the way she reacted she obviously didn't want me to kill them.
-
Kain
I caught the shuriken by reflex and looked at her, with an annoyed face, but then i quickly let it go and my smile returned.
Alright, fine. I'll be patient.
I threw the shuriken to the ground and looked at Cornelius.
Well if we find anyone down there that isnt a demi-titan that immediatly makes them an enemy right? So we have to fight them or the titans will skin us alive.
Vin
(Insert ed's angry face here)I THOUGHT WE WERE DONE FOR NOW!!!
I sighed and tried letting it go, and grabbed one of the torches on the walls, then put the weak flame under my frozen hand.
I dont see your point though.
-
Umbrea
You are wrong, we aren't going back down there yet. We are gonna need more help too fight all those Demi-gods now that they are armed.
Then she turned away and sat onto the ground, quietly meditating.
Tylan
You are too trusting, that is a weakness. But my question still remains, what are your mental weaknesses?
Tylan quietly awaited an answer.
-
Vin
... I dont really know actualy. The gullible thing is one, but other than that I dont really know, I havent considered my weaknesses.
I thought for a moment. I honestly dont know if I can trust Tylan anymore. And what's all this blabber about weaknesses?
Kain
So what your saying is one of us needs to search for some able looking people right? Who wants to draw straws?
I waited a second for a responce then laughed.
Kidding. But if that is what your sugjesting I'll volunteer to look for some.
-
Tylan
Okay, my weakness is a care too much for my brother. A mental weakness is something that can stop you from fighting when you still have the will. Tell me, are you stupid kid? Your buddies caught on to what I was talking about pretty well.
Tylan sighed.
Look, tell me, what went wrong in our battle that caused you all to lose?
Umbrea
Umbrea shook her head.
I'll be able to tell if any able demi-titans are near and shadow travel us there. Just be quiet.
-
Vin
I ignored his insult and decided to answer his question.
I used to have one. I cared too much for my freind, and wound up almost getting killed for that. That was the only weakness I had. As for the battle, we got over-confident and didn't consider you would call for your brother.
Kain
Pouting, he sat down cross legged. He hated being quiet, and he especialy hated doing NOTHING. But he had little choice, since he knows he cant handle that many demi-gods on his own.
-
Tylan
Tylan nodded.
Then tell me, why'd you lose to my brother? How would you take down a foe like him?
Tylan leaned against the wall, his wound sending dull throbs through his body, causing him to clutch his arm around it.
-
efialtes quickly turns into a humming bird, a small bird, and dodges the rocks.
Okay, You said dodge, and stop...HOW DO YOU WANT ME TO STOP THEM?!
One of the rocks ricocheted off a wall and hit efialtes's wings, sending him off balance and into a wall...
I seem to be spending a lot of time being sent into one of these...
mikto..
Mikto saw they had stopped fighting...
Aw...I was hoping for more blood...
He slowly walked towards them...
I don't suppose you're going on a mission?
(Hrgh...SIINTCA)
-
Umbrea
Yes, would you like to join us?
She stood drawing her swords.
Then you will have to prove you can keep up.
Then she leaped at him and swung one of her sword at him!
Tylan
Efialtes, use your brain! Shape-shift into something that could help!
-
Spectrome
The monster was now laying flat out on his back, breathing softly, but a hint of irritation in each breath. What could be taking those morons so long!? They were supposed to be back by now. Unless if they all managed to get themselves killed, which wasn't all that possible. Considering their strengths.
The titans were starting to get a little suspicious about him being to close to the armory, and not patrolling. And, he was getting bored of standing there by himself. Rising to his feet, he walked as quietly as he could through the halls to go look for them, the ground trembling a bit with each step.
Zer0
To say the demi-titan was bored, was an understatement. He lay on a throne he had made for himself out of human and demi-god bones alike, stroking a mass of intestines strung across the entire seat, and around by his feet. Flesh lay in tatters around his feet, broken skulls and small finger bones adorning his seat, he rested his head on his hand, a blank look on his face.
" How the hell do I find the time to do this."
He shifted position in his seat, wrapping a foot and a half of the 45 ft. long trail of intestines around his arm, fingering the stitching he had done with a blank stare. It was a brilliant idea. Sew together the organs of the fallen ones on the field. But, that task in itself was a testimony of how bored he was. Normal people don't do that. Normal people look for recruits, he though to himself, blowing his bangs out of his face, his eyes narrowed.
Then again, you aren't normal.
Shut up.
-
Vin
I looked at him with disbeleif.
THERE'S A WAY TO WIN AGAINST HIM!???
I was processing what he just said. Was he implying there's a weakness? I snapped out of it and decided to answer the first question while i process that.
It was because of his overwhelming power and that blade- it's made of some metal that my sword cant break.
Kain
I looked and noticed a boy in red.
Who's asking?
Then the girl- forgot her name already- attacked him.
Awww.... I wanted to kill- I mean- fight him... (italics are thoughts)
-
efialtes
Efialtes went back into the air still dodging.
LIKE WHAT?! A DRagon...heheheh....
he turned into his ultimate transformation......a small dragon... the rocks hit him and bounced off. they stung like All get out. but they wouldn't kill him, like they might have when he was a bird.
I hope this part of the lesson is over soon. I can't hold this transformation up for very long at all...
mikto
He moved enough so it wasn't any cut that was deadly at that given moment, but A bit of the blood did come out..
heheheh..I wouldn't have done that if I were you...
a bit of the blood splattered...and then it shot from the ground, and his cut, at her...
Aah yes. the more, the bloodier...fill free to cut me more~
(SIINTCA)
-
Umbrea
Umbrea vanished, dissolving into the shadows and appearing several yards behind. Kunai and Shuriken formed in her hands, before being launched at his back!
Tylan
Tylan waved for Daylin to stop, and with a smirk he did.
Daylins sword is enchanted. As long as Daylin is willing to fight for what he believes in the sword will never break. If his faith falters even once the sword will shatter into pieces, un-fixable by even Hephaetus.
Tylan sighed.
I ask again, how would you beat Daylin?
-
I looked at him with an expression that says 'Oh crud'... Let's see, indestructable sword, get's easily pissed off, and-... wait.... get's easily pissed off....
I'm guessing I have to take advantage of his anger somehow... like tire him out till he get's tired... how to do that is another question all-together since he can actualy be pretty agile and have enough strength to launch me to a wall with a flick of his finger.
-
efialtes transformed back into human..
Ugh...that sucks a lot of power...
he sat down and leaned against a wall, then put the hood back on and pulled the strings.
Wake me up if you need meh.
mikto
He turned around just in time to be able to dodge them.. after dodging he ran at her, he had pulled a small syringe like weapon out of his jacket..
Lets hope you're blood isn't made of something that's not water!
(SIINTCA)
-
Tylan
Tylan shook his head.
Daylin has powerful attacks, but he is clumsy and almost never covers himself. He can be easily defeated when you take advantage of it. Now, I'm going to give you another question, how do you defeat me in a fight?
Umbrea
Umbrea closed her eyes, the needle barely digging into her skin and pulling only tickles of blood before she shadow traveled behind him and tried to slash him with both her swords.
-
Mikto
he stepped forward, the blades caused very large cuts.
Well thats no good. trying to kill me right before A mission I might be able to help on...
suddenly the blood shot out of his back at her.
Ooh I do hope this hits~ and that we find a medic for that matter.
(SIINTCA)
-
Vin
I smirked at the question.
I would tell you, but the game isnt necisarily over yet- now is it?
It was fun being the arse hole.
(SIINTCA)
-
Tylan
Tylan sighed.
If I wanted we could steal your flag now. Not one of you is in a position to stop Daylin.
He glanced at everyone around.
However I am training you, so again how would you beat me?
Umbrea
She was knocked back by the blood and she nodded.
You're in, bandage those wounds.
-
Spectrome
What are those fools DOING!? Spectrome seethed under his scarf. He had made his way out of the building quickly, thanks to the smell the demi-gods left behind. He had followed their scent all the way to a strange opening inside the mountain. And, following the scent till, he made his way into a maze, where, from what he could hear, they were...PLAYING!? He could hear rocks being thrown, and everything. He growled lowly, to notify them that he was there. Judging by the echo, they would all hear it, even if they couldn't see him.
Morons...Why did I even join them...?
He shivered a little, automatically remembering his friends. Oh yeah...
Zer0
By now, the demi-titan had grown bored of playing with the slimy mass or intestine he had strewn around him. He stood, the coils falling to the ground as he looked around. Not many people in the area. Well, no people at all, really. Just corpses. Some partially eaten, some BEING eaten by monsters who had flocked for the carnage. He purred a bit, stooping down to wrap his newest prized possession around himself. It was very heavy, but he didn't want to leave it alone. The monsters would come for his chair next, and it would be gone if he left it. He could care less about the abdominal flesh surrounding his chair. The beastly things would pick the area clean.
He stretched his wings out, grunting a bit as he exerted extra force to get himself up off the ground. God, these things are heavy.
Then drop them.
"Are you CRAZY!? I value this thing more than you, thank you very much," He spoke aloud, growling, his eye staring down at the one on his chest.
Sure, sure... The eye on his chest rolled, and closed, helping him to focus, and FINALLY get airborne.
Now...where to go... He thought, straining under the weight.
-
Umbrea
Sensing another presence and a powerful one at that she slowly began to meld with the shadows, then reappeared in a room filled with gore.A man was talking to an eye on his chest which intrigued Umbrea.
Nice eye., would you be interested in hunting Demi-gods?
-
Zer0
Zer0 stopped in his attempt to fly, as he noticed someone else had joined them. He dropped to the ground, groaning as the weight suddenly shifted, causing him to land on his side instead of his feet. He got up, dusted himself off, and frowned, his prized intestine train sliding off him with a very wet squelch.
" How the heck did you get in here!? I was sure that door was locked!"
Yeah, yeah moron. We both were. No one would come in anyway, lest they walk in on you-
"Well, whatever. My eye appreciates the compliment. Now..." The 17 year old cut his eye off, putting his hands on his hips. He was a bit irritated, but at the same time, intrigued himself. He sniffed softly, and grinned even wider. "Ah. I see where you're going with this. You're a demi-titan, aren't you?"
He stretched a bit, then bent down to pick up his possession, stroking it fondly. "And a pretty one at that. Kyehehehe. I do need something to add to my collection...." He motioned casually to his chair. " It needs an addition. Maybe some liver pillows, but the rest of these bodies are picked clean."
-
Mikto walked off to go find some bandages..
Okay...okay...
He looked around...then he saw a mummy...
Oh heeeey~
He ripped the arm off, ran away, and finally bandaged his wounds.
I think I'll keep the arm. it could be a good weapon.
[SIINTCA]
-
Vin
I sighed. They had a point.
Alright, first I would make sure you wouldent be able to use your weapon, then I'd slash at both your arms so you woulden't be able to fight, then capture you. And then-
I heard a low growl.
... did you hear that?
Kain
He fell to the ground groaning.
UUUUUuuuuugh, why does SHE get all the fun... and when the hell are we going to kill those demi-gods!?
He was confident that- whatsherface- wasent able to hear him.
-
Umbrea
Umbrea smiled, her hands rubbing small circles on her stomach.
I'm sure my intestines would make fine pillows, but alas I need them. Why don't we see how soft yours are?
She pulled one hand up into the air, making the kunai swirl and form from the darkness dramatically slow. She did a light and dainty back flip into the air and tossed the kunais at Zer0, each one zooming for various spots on his chest! Then she softly landed and shadow traveled behind Zer0, using the darkness of the room to her advantage! Once behind Zer0 she drew both her swords and attempted to run him through!
Tylan
TYlan nodded.
I'll have Daylin check it out but, what makes you so sure you could disable my arms? You seemed to fail last time we fought one on one. So, what went wrong when just you had assaulted our base?
As he waited for an answer Daylin began to walk down the hall sword in hand.
Daylin
Daylin walked quietly, hoping to find what the noise was.
(WTP, have Daylin reach your guy please.)
-
Vin
I glared, this bastard wasent going to give me a break.
Simple, I'd stab them instead of slashing them. Though your skin is hard and resistant against slashes, a good stab can peirce right through it like almost any other armor.
I really didnt want to give my stradegy to him, but I'll make another one later.
-
Tylan
Tylan sighed, the kid just didn't get it!
I have a weapon to you know, I'm not defenseless.
He summoned his weapon, as if to emphasize his point then stabbed it into the ground. Then as if to show the Vin he wasn't defenseless he pulled the weapon out of the ground and took a defensive position!
Let us see if you can take me like you say Vin.
-
Wow, this guy was forgetful, he forgot the firt part of my plan. I picked up my sword, mabye I'll get a chance to kick his arse without my powers.
You've already forgot the first part of my plan, didn't you? Well thanks to you I've had enough time to gain some of my lost energy back.
I put myself in a defencive stance.
I babbled like an idiot on purpose.
-
Tylan
Tylan let out a shrill whistle, the symbol he and Daylin had developed to call for each other long ago. Now h just had to stall, he wasn't going to take there flag but this kid was dense! He thought his enemy was just going to let him stab them! Tylan ignored the arcing pain spread throughout his body by the wound and he leaped into the air, fake a spinning slash at Vins neck before dropping low and trying to sweep his feet!
-
Spectrome
The demi-monster began moving again, slithering now, to avoid making much noise. He ran into Daylin, who had been searching for the source of his growl..
" Friend," He said softly, with his thick accent. " What are you doing?" He couldn't express all of his thoughts, although his anger was obvious in the tone he was using. He pulled his scarf up a bit more, and closed his eyes, waiting for a response.
Zer0
The teenage demi-titan watched her rub circles on her smooth belly through her shirt while she spoke, idly running his tongue across his lips, smirking. " I'm sure they would make a nice pillow...I don't think you'd want to use mine, though..."
His throat emitted a low growl as she suddenly drew weapons out of the dark shadow in her hand, and backflipped, launching them at his chest. He ducked, to avoid the kunais thrown at him, although one left another scratch on his head, beside the long one running from the top to bottom, and a few others skimmed his shoulders. " I do need this eye, thank you very much."
And I do need this demi-titan, as much as I hate to admit it.
He purred softly, arching his back inward as he felt the blades touch his back, right to the sides of his wings, and dig in.
"Nhh~ A little too low, but at least you tried~"
He dropped to the ground through the two extended blades, bringing his arms together to slide through easily. He rolled over to his side, and rose to his feet, drawing his trademark small, but exceptionally sharp weapon.
He shot forward, getting himself airborne for a few seconds before dropping into a dive, blade extended, aiming for the joint between her arm and her torso.
-
Daylin
Spectrome! Glad to see you are alright! We were training because we ran into a-
A shrill whistle split the air and Daylin jerked to attention.
Sorry Spectrome, I'll explain later!
Then he began to run down the hallways at full speed, his feet causing the ground to tremble as he slammed them down!
Umbrea
Umbrea began to quickly dissolve into the shadows, but side was still sliced deeply in her side, blood starting to pool around the wound and spill over the edge!She appeared ten feet behind Zer0, a barrage of ten kunai and shuriken flying at Zer0s back as she formed and threw them! Then she leaped into a spiraling forward, her arms spinning forwards blades extended!
-
I saw right through his attack, it was the same one he used on me last time. I ducked, acting like I feel for it then blocked the lower one with my sword. Then I attempted to counter with an uppercut slash while my sword was glowing!
(Say if I need to change anything. ._.)
-
Tylan
Tylan smiled.
You aren't gonna beat me with the same old trick.
Then he slid to the side, the blade whizzing past him, leaving Vin wide open for the punch Tylan swung at his side! As he threw the punch he simultaneously slammed his knee upwards,hoping to hit Vin in the stomach with it!
-
Spectrome
"Spectrome! Glad to see you are alright! We were training because we ran into a-"
The man was about to speak, but before he could even say anything, Daylin interrupted him.
"Sorry Spectrome, I'll explain later!"
The spines all over Spectrome's body flared, and then flattened in protest, but the boy already took off running. Having nothing better to do, Spectrome followed, although slowly and sulking. They had the nerve to train, and then not notify me? Whatever. It didn't matter. He shook the whiny thoughts out of his head, and continued to follow, anticipating what was happening.
Zer0
Although not expecting the onslaught of kunais and shurikens, Zer0 DID expect her to go for his back again, so he moved himself to avoif that attack. However, the shurikens and kunais weren't as easy to dodge, and some of them were embedded into his upper arms, and his shoulder. He angrily tore them out, whipped around, and started to throw all the ones that hit him, drawing his weapon again, and making himself airborne to spiral dive again, smirking. He wasn't gonna fool around THIS time. No, she was a demi-titan. Maybe he wasn't allowed to kill her, but that didn't mean he was gonna go easy on her.
-
Umbrea
Umbrea crossed her swords in front of her, the weapons meeting and the dive combined with the strength from er0 sent her skidding back! She She summoned four kunai, then threw one at the front of Zer0, then shadow traveled behind him and threw another kunai at his back! She quickly followed up by traveling to his right side and throwing a kunai at him from that angle,before traveling to his left side and throwing a kunai at that side! As the kunai flew at him from all direction she sheathed her swords and noticed a small bar on the ceiling, covered by shadows. She closed her eyes, melding with the shadows and appearing in the air by the bar! She reached her hands out and soundlessly grabbed the bar, before twisting around where her legs were draped over he bar and holding her up, her arms crossed across her chest and her hair falling backwards.She closed her eyes and began to listen, she was acting like a bat......
-
Both of the attacks landed, but I wasent done yet... I still had some energy!
RrrrrrrrAAAAAAGH! I've had enough of you!
I started slashing at him wildly, in a rage of sorts leaving nothing but openings.
(I doupt it's OP since I'm leaving openings, but if it is i'll edit. .-.)
-
Tylan
Tyln dodged and blocked blow after blow, but his injury was slowing him! He stumbled back,tripping and falling to the ground, his staff in front of him, trying to hold off Vins sword! AS think cracks began to spread down his lbade Tylan began to sweat,struggling to get away! With a mighty crack his blade shattered, letting Vins blade slam downwards and Tylan closed his eyes,expecting excruciating pain! Sparks flew as a blade stopped Vins, its deadly silver glistening under the torch light! A voice, low and filled with suppressed rage cut the air.
I thought I told you, don't touch my brother!
Then with both hands clutching the hilt Daylin steeped in the way of Tylan, his body defending him. He drew the sword back and then let loose an onslaught of vicious slashes, all in the direction of Vin, he was careful not to hit any vital areas though.
-
I let loose ficious slashes of his own, trying to counter him somehow to get to Tylan, but unfurtunately the same thing happened again... Only this time every time for every time our blades clashed a crack appeared on my sword.
*CRACK* *CRACK* *CRACK* *CRACK* *SHATTER*
This time the blade shattered into tiny peices, and I was cut in the shoulder by his blade. I was launched into a wall again, still cauntious, but with small cuts everywhere on my body, and of course a large one on my shoulder.
Again...
The pain made the rage in my eyes quickly fade away and I realise what i just did.
-
Daylin
Daylin roared, watching as Vin slammed into the wall. He charged up to Vin and proceeded to scream in his face.
You ever threaten my brother again, ever, and I will kill you! I will rip out your insides and feed them too the Hydra and throw you in Tartarus where you belong!
He drew his hand back, slamming his fist into the wall inches from Vins head and watched as his fist began to leak blood and the wall held a large indent!
-
I sat there, nothing but fear in my eyes. Not only because of the threat, but because of what I just did. Why did I....?
Why... why did I attack him like that?! I didn't want to... I couldent control myself... am I... some sort of animal?!
I looked at my hand, I was still gripping onto the handle. I quickly let go, and saw my hand was actualy bleeding... how hard did I grip onto that... I didn't... Then realisation hit me... I was going to kill him... I couldent speak, couldent come up with any excuses for why I did it... I just sat there, afraid... hurting.
(Vin is now officialy draumatised. Say if I need to change anything.)
-
Alala
Thinking to myself...
"Psh as I thought that promise will be harder to keep than he thinks..."
Stretching a bit trying to get the soreness out....
"Gyah you guys are acting like idiots now....If this is training don't take it too overboard with it...All 3 of you.."
"What is the use of training if you end up killing each other..."
"I know I have a lot to learn and it looks like you 3 do too...If you choose to accept the fact we are all still young and naive...or not it is the truth.."
"Learn from one another...Fight along side one another...Be friends with one another..."
"War isn't easily won but it makes the struggle a lot easier when comrades get along.."
-
Tylan and Daylin
Daylin pointed his sword at Vin, his hand turning purple from the strength of his grip as h swung the sword, it cutting through the wall above Vins head like butter! He slammed his sword into the ground up to the hilt after he had pulled it back.
Who are you to try to take my brother life? Who are you to dictate who lives and dies? Who are YOU to even think your life was worth anything, you backstabbing Tit-
Daylin stop!
Daylin whipped around to see Tylan standing, supported by his staff which had once again fixed itself. He had one hand clutched across his stomach, holding his wound which had reopened in the fight, the other gripping the staff to support him. His blue hair was matted with sweat and his white eyes emotionless as he slowly walked towards Vin. He reached his hand out to help Vin up, while saying
You have got some questions to answer.
-
I literaly couldent speak. Everything he said was right, i'm a backstabbing titan. First I ended up betraying and killing my best freind, then I betrayed my own kind and went to the gods for help, only to wind up almost killing one of my own allies. I took Tylans hand, my expression unreadable. I wasent sure If i could answer.
-
Tylan and Daylin
Tylan took his hand pulling him up. He coughed up small amounts of blood, spitting them onto the ground before wiping his moth with his wrist. e placed his hand on Vins shoulder before whispering, his voice carried by the wind that began to stir.
I've had worse, don't worry about me Vin. I think we found out what your biggest weakness is. And you are going to need Daylins help to get past it. I'll give you a moment to recover from shock then you begin training.
Dayln snorted.
I am not training hi-
Tylan cut him off by spitting a mouthful of blood and spit onto his boot.
Yes you are, so prepare.
Then Tylan fell back against a wall, his eyes slightly sagging as he struggled to stay awake.
-
Zer0
The child of Perses grinned, almost maniacally, as she started to throw the kunai at four points, on the four sides of him. He chuckled softly, twisting his body to the side, and taking the first kunai completely into his body. He spasmed a little, and then purred. " Well, that feels nice. That kunai of yours is buried in my side. I can feel it in between my large and small intestine~~~ Nhhhnnnhnnn~" He chuckled, and then twisted to the side. " However, I doubt that a knife in the back will feel quite as good...So, I think I'll dodge this one..." He grinned, grabbing it as it passed by. it cut his hand, but at least he got it. Bracing himself, knowing that he wouldn't dodge them fast enough, he took both of the kunais into his arms, making sure it avoided muscle, but ended up piercing bone, which hurt more. But at least he would move it, as it wasn't entirely broken.
With great effort, he pulled the two other weapons out of his arm, and looked around. " Aww, c'mon. Now where'd you go? Will I have to coax you out? Or will you be a nice little demi-titan, and come out for me? After all, you ARE a guest. You should abide to my rules~"
Since when was that? You don't even follow that rule. You imbecile.
"You, I'm ignoring, okay? I'm busy."
Spectrome
The demi-monster was slightly confused, as he arrived in the mittle of a mini battle. He hand't understood most of what was being said, but apparently, the younger brother Daylin was upset. He honestly wasn't sure what to say, so he stood there, looking as emotionless as possible, trying to put together what had been happening.
-
I had so many mixed emotions, and so many thoughts going through my head. I half wanted to just die, so i wouldent hurt anyone else, and I also wanted to live and try to fix it. I sat down, trying to calm down and recover from what just happened. I was finaly able to say something though...
... Sorry...
-
Umbrea
Umrea listened to him wander around quietly looking for her. She could hear him and when she knew he was right below her she dropped! She spiraled downward and then drew her swords, pointing it straight down at Zer0!
Tylan
Tylan noticed Spectrome, but he thought he was hallucinating. He shakily got to his feet, then turned to Vin.
I need to know, what triggered you to go into that rage?
He leaned against the wall, awaiting an answer.
-
Vin
I thought for a moment. I was in no position to insult right now, so I better just come clean.
I think it was the insults... But I'm not that sure to be honest.... Taunts usualy dont drive me to kill someone.....
-
Daylin
Daylin had known where this was going from the beginning. He sized up Vin, then cautiously summoned his blade and said
I want you to fire whatever energy you have left into the wall. No we won't be sparring but you still have to fire all your energy out through those blasts.
Tylan
Tylan turned to Alala as Daylin began to speak. Something was off abut her, she seemed to be.... Different.
Would you mind if I ran a sort of experiment on you?
(Nightshade, you can do what we were talking about on P.O if you want now.
-
Alala
Looking at Tylan rather confused....
"What do you mean experiment....You aren't cutting me open....Sorry if that is like a thing for you."
"I like my guts staying inside thank you!"
Every once in a while flinching from the pain on her right arm from the stab..
"But if it isn't anything like that than sure explain what you have in mind.."
(Alala met some rather odd things in her travels :P)
-
Tylan
Tylan nodded, then in a flash his staff appeared. He drew his arm back and threw it like a spear at Alalas neck!
Channel your energy, stop the weapon!
Then he crossed his fingers and hoped he was right! He suspected that Alala had a power she didn't know about.
-
Alala
Obviously not prepared for that.....Letting out a rather girly scream....
"Ahhhh What the!...."
Before I could even think I flung my spear up and a charge of electricity flew out of it clashing with the staff sending it flying up into the air....
Never doing that before....ever I collapse from exhaustion....
Right before blacking out...
"What the hell was that....?"
Waking up several moments later.....Looking extremely confused at what just happened....
-
Zer0
The demi-titan sidestepped, although on of the blades struck deep into his back. He winced, his right wing going lip, with a chunk of flesh hanging out of his back with it. He angrily spun around, and fid all the Kunais he had caught at Umbrea as she fell continued her descent downward. He backed up, still facing her, and drew his own dagger, moving back to his prized possession, and his throne of gore farther back in the room. " This is foolish, you know? A woman like you should know how to pick her fights. I don't think it was so wise to pick one with me. I believe I out-rank you. Just look around you. All this carnage was caused by my hand. Do you really want to end up like these corpses?"
He crossed his arms, prepared for another attack, although he swayed involuntarily.
Spectrome
The demi-monster's spines pricked up, and he shifted his position, trying to draw a bit of attention to himself. He was still in the dark about what had just happened, what they had been doing, and even why no one had gone in to notify him that they had escaped. " Now what?" He asked gruffly, the long claws on his lizard-like feet scratching the ground to draw more attention.
-
Tylan
Tylan nodded, just like he thought.
You are a child of Zeus, you were lied to because the last child of Zeus to be born twenty five years ago was Aaron, leader of the demi-gods. His powers rival even that of the gods.
He turned around as he heard Spectrome speak.
Now we go our separate ways, finish this game and continue on.
Then he turned around and waved for Daylin to follow him.
From this point on we are enemies. We will take your flag, but fairly. We'll be back soon.
Then they both turned around and began to walk away.
Umbrea
Umbrea landed lightly on the ground and listened to Zer0.
I have a deal for you. I can promise you much more carnage, demi-gods carnage at that if you come with me. What say you?
-
*I'mma just kinda skip to after Daylin runs off and everything, is that okay?*
Well...That was pretty anti-climatic.
Very.
Ayara moved back to her position, and Artemis did the same. They could here various noises echoing down the hallways, but stayed in place.
Do you think that any of the flags have been stolen yet, sister?
Ayara shrugged, without turning around.
I dunno. But as of right now, we have to assume the game is still on. Be ready for anything.
Artemis glanced back at her sister.
As serious as usual...
She shook her head, and then looked around at the surrounding caverns a bit.
Take you back, doesn't it, Sister? Being in dark, narrow pathways, knowing that you could be attacked at any moment... Just like when we were little.
Ayara didn't turn around.
Tsk. Yeah. Don't forget damp and dingy. Although even these paths are better than some of those old alleyways.
Artemis nodded.
I must admit, some of those alleys weren't fit for wild animals...
...Let alone street rats like us.
Artemis shook her head, then went back to keeping watch.
Well, we were better off than some.
If you're talking about the fact that we didn't wind up dead in a sewer, then not by much.
The conversation trailed off as the two went back to listening for approaching enemies.
-
Tylan and Daylin
Tylan and Daylin walked quietly down the halls, whispers suddenly catching there ears. Tylan pressed a finger to his lips, quieting Daylin and listened. He was sure it was the twins just beyond the wall in front of them! He pointed at the wall, then nodded ad Daylin. Daylin quietly began to scale the wall, Tylan behind him, struggling to keep up as the gash on his side pained him.
After some time the two reached the top of the wall and eered ovr the edge, spotting the twins talking quietly. They summoned there weapons and Tylan laid low, trying not to be seen as Daylin leaped off the top of the wall, swinging his blade in an arc at Ayara as he got close enough!
-
Spectrome
Tired of being ignored, he followed the brothers. They had some explaining to do, and he was sure that he wasn't going to get anything out of them is he just sat there, and waited. Slinking as quietly, but as quickly as possible behind them. He flattened himself against the wall when he noticed that they were climbing. He rose onto his last four feet to peer over the wall, only the upper half of his face visible, and noticed the twins. He eyed them, and the brothers curiously, to see what they would do next.
Zer0
Zer0's expression lit up, and, as his back muscles shook and twitched, retracting his mangled wings, and sealing over them, he spoke. " Sounds like a plan to me. I do love demi-gods. They bleed nicely. Almost over-confident." He arched his back, stretching, and flinching, as some of his wounds began to bleed again. "My only problem is, transportation. Where are you currently staking out?" While he spoke, he ran a hand down the wound on his belly, where he started to fish around inside himself for the shadow kunai that had been thrown earlier.
That's gross, man. Stop it.
" I can't fly now until my wings mend, so I'm gonna have to get there on foot..." Zer0 paused, grinning, and wincing a bit, his hand still groping around for the knife inside him, "...although, I'm sure that shadow ability comes in handy with travel..."
-
Barely a second after the twins had stopped talking, Ayara heard a small, barely distinguishable noise.
What was that?!
Ayara looked around, searching for the source of the noise, and looked up and over her shoulder in time to see Daylin falling towards her, sword poised to strike. Ayara jumped foward, avoiding the blade of the sword. However, the tip tore through the back of her shirt, leaving a small, paper-thin cut, and revealing one of the larger scars on her back. She whipped around, summoning her Kusarigamas.
Oh, so you CAN be quiet. When you dashed past Artemis earlier, you were being louder than a blind bear blundering through a jungle.
Ayara quickly settled into a fighting stance, her Kusarigamas ready to strike. Artemis, who at this point had moved over to stand next to her sister, did likewise with her Quarterstaff.
Mr.Daylin, I don't suppose you'll be nice and tell us if your brother is here, too?
-
Spectrome
Spectrome flattened the spines on his head, so that he would be less noticeable. It looked like they were about to fight, although he still wasn't too sure on what was going on. But, he assumed that he shouldn't bother Tylan, as he seemed to want to stay hidden. Instead, he just looked on, albeit boredly.
-
Tylan and Daylin
Tylan listened quietly ready to strike if needed. Daylin gripped his sword in both hands, the tip scraping the ground lightly as he took a stance. He kept his mouth shut about Tylan, but the wind was whipping slightly with a cold breeze. Damn him! He needed to control that or they would get caught!
My brother is none of your concern, I am!
Then he snickered.
I didn't need to be quiet, how could two girls hurt me?
Umbrea
She smiled.
Now that you can talk and not attack, here is the details. We are staying outside the mountain. There are several other Demi-titans awaiting my return. The demi-gods are in the maze below, they are planning something. We will attack on my command. Now take my hand.
She stuck her hand out, waiting for him to take it.
-
Zer0
Zer0 cocked his head, and frowned a bit, before turning to look at the mass of organs he had left on the ground. " One sec..." He hooked the meatbag with his foot, and dragged it over to his "throne," dropping it down onto the bones, before running back. "Didn't want that on the floor," He said, smiling a bit, as he outstretched his clean hand, and not the one that was still fishing around inside of him for the knife. He eyed her suspiciously, but didn't hesitate to take her hand. They were on the same side. Nothing to worry about now.
-
"My brother is none of your concern, I am!"
Ayara sighed, but kept her stance.
Well, good try, Artemis. Not that I expected him to tell us.
Artemis shrugged, smiling gently.
It was worth a try. Some people are gullible enough to answer, some people aren't.
Both twins kept their stances, watching Daylin, but at the same time scanning the area.
There's a breeze...
Something's got to be making that. We're in a series of paths. Only an exit or someone's power could do that.
I'm sure sister's already noticed. We've got to be careful. We don't know what could be causing that. And we might not want to find out.
Daylin switched positions, snickering.
"I didn't need to be quiet, how could two girls hurt me?"
Ayara switched her grip from her Kusarigama's handle to it's chain-weight, and slowly began swinging it.
Ho, confident much? Tell me this, Daylin. Have you ever actually fought a battle against a girl as battle-ready as you? There's probably no girl out there who matches your physical strength...
...but don't underestimate girls. Especially us. There've been plenty of people before you who've done so. None of them would do so again.
-
Daylin and Tylan
Daylin smirked before shouting
Tylan now!
Tylan staed low and out of sight, but with some difficulty manipulated the air to seem as if someone was falling towards the twins! Then he whispered
Got ya.
and once again manipulated the win to make it sound like he was right above the twins! He let his face rest on the ground, that took a lot out of him!
Daylin drew back his sword and charged, sending a jab at the leg of Ayara, enough poewr behind it to cut her deeply, but not give her a fatal injury!
Umbrea
Umbrea took Zer0s hand and they traveled through the shadows, appearing by the others.
This is our group.
-
Both twins whipped their heads up at the same time, searching for the presence (the wind movement) they had sensed. As she scanned for an attacker, Ayara felt a stab of pain in her leg, and instinctively jumped away, preventing the injury from going too deep.
For someone who thinks a non-damage attack from behind is unfair, it certainly seems you don't mind damage attacks.
Artemis, having realized that the sensation was a trick, darted forward, her quarterstaff sweeping around from the side towards Daylin's head.
Is it safe to assume that was your brother's doing?
As Artemis spoke and attacked, Ayara also moved forward quickly sending her spinning Kusarigama flying towards Daylin, angled towards his legs. (Attacking at opposite ends of him~ Makes it harder to defend~)
A leg for a leg, muscle boy.
(Borrowing Meowth's phrase-SIINTCA)
-
Tylan and Daylin
Daylin deflected the staff with is sword, then watched helplessly as the kusarigama hurtled towards his leg! His eyes widen as Tylans' staff buried itself in the ground by his leg, stopping the weapon from hitting him as it collided with the marble of his staff! Tylan quickly leaped from the top of the wall, catching himself on his knees. He winced in pain as his injury was torn even more, but walked over and picked up his staff, taking a defensive position.
Bit unfair two on one isn't it?
Daylin smiled, his brother always came through in the end.
-
Ayara watched as the staff blocked her blow, and as Artemis jumped back.
Tsk. I was hoping to pay him back for my leg.
Artemis sighed.
Well, it was to be expected. But at least we finally got Mr.Tylan to show himself.
Ayara nodded.
Yeah. Now we can take 'em out. Save some energy, though, Artemis. We're gonna be needing you afterwards.
Artemis glanced at her sister, not looking happy.
I'd rather you AVOIDED any more injuries, sister. Even if I can heal them.
Ayara shrugged, jerking her wrist and sending her Kusarigama flying back to her, deftly catching the handle.
With no visibly signal to each other, both girls darted forward.
Artemis moved in front of Tylan, feinting for his head and then swinging the other end of the staff around, aimed to slam into the older man's side.
Ayara, moving forward quickly despite her injury, quickly confronted Daylin, swinging towards his leg with her right kusarigama from below, and at the same time aiming for Daylin's shoulder from above with her left.
-
Tylan and Daylin
Tylan hardened his skin, the staff slamming into him and making him wince. He ripped his staff out of the ground, spinning it above his head before swinging it down towards the neck of Artemis! Daylin grabbed the weapon headed towards his shoulder by the chain, then cried in pain as the other dug into his leg! He dropped his sword and drew back his hand, swinging it at the stomach of Ayara with all his strength, hoping he would hit with one weapon in his hand and the other in his leg!
-
Alala
Coming to realize what happened....
"Did he really say what I think he said..."
Thinking back throughout my life and what was told to me and everything that was shown to me...
"It was all a lie....that guy isn't even my father...then...then who is my mother..."
A tear rolls down my face as I am thinking about all of this...
-
I was sitting cross-legged on the ground throwing stones on the floor when I heard a noise.
me-Yay, she's back...
I look up and I see a guy with an eye on his stomach, I quickly jump up.
me-What the hell!
He had such a stench as well, it made me want to throw up. I looked at Umbrea pleadingly.
me-Please don't say I have to fight with this... person?
-
Artemis withdrew her Quarterstaff quickly, reversing her grip and lifting it at the last moment to block the overhead blow. After a moment, she shifted her left foot, and swung her right leg up in an attempt to first knee the older man, and then extend her leg and hit the man again with her shin/foot. (Basically, it's a two-part attack, but it only takes a few seconds to do, because it just involves straightening her leg.)
Ayara, with both weapons currently occupied, took the blow the the stomach. She grit her teeth, and coughed for a moment.
Well, thanks for that. I think you just cracked one of my ribs.
Immediately, Ayara flicked her right wrist in a few rapid movements, sending the chain clenched in Daylin's fist wrapping around his wrist. Then, Ayara jerked her arm backwards, *hopefully* pulling Daylin forwards and off-balance. Once she did that, she stepped forward with her left foot, her left arm swinging forward to punch Daylin in the face.
But don't think your the only ones who don't need their weapons to fight!
-
Tylan and Daylin
Daylin stood his ground, chuckling slightly at her pitiful attempt to pull him. He quickly unwrapped the chain and let if fall to the floor, lifting his head a fist collided with his nose. He went stumbling backwards, blood pooling slightly. He growled, ripping the other scythe blade out of his leg and throwing i to the ground! He wiped his nose, then looked at Ayara, his eyes slowly turning a deeper shade of red as his anger increased.
You are gonna lose lil' girl.
Then he dropped to the ground quickly, ignoring the pain in his leg, and sending one leg in a sweep. He hoped to knock Ayaras feet out from under her, HOPED.
Tylan knew he couldn't block both attacks so he hardened his right arm and blocked the leg that was heading for his wound. THe other hit him full on, the force causing blood to begin laking from the wound again!
That hurt.
The wind around dropped a degree in temperature as Tylan swung his staff at Artemis, using the marble as a club to hit her side instead of the blade!
Umbrea
Umbrea laughed slightly, clutching her wound in agony as she did.
Damn that hurt. Don't worry, I fought him.
Then she sat cross legged on the ground.
Everyone ready to leave now?
-
Efialtes
Efialtes slowly woke up.
*yawn* so whats going on?
He looked around, tylan and daylin were gone..
So I guess this means the games back on eh? I'll go scout out a bit.
He turned into a small bat And flew off in the direction he hoped they were in...
Mikto
Mikto walked back to the group and waved the dead arm around..
Hey guys! I found a weapon!
He then saw the new guy..
Oooh~ You look like you should have some good blood...if your ever about to die tell me, I'll want a fresh sample....

Ayara grinned when her fist connected. It obviously had pissed Daylin off.
"You are gonna lose lil' girl."
He dropped to the ground, his leg slicing around to try and knock her feet from under her.
Normally, I'd just jump it, but with my leg, I don't know if I can... Improv time.
Ayara dropped down, flicking her wrists to pull her Kusarigamas back to her, and in the same movement dropping her arm to block Daylin's leg with the handle of her left Kusarigama. Pushing it away, she jumped to her feet, which set her leg bleeding again.
"Little", am I? Well, Daylin, I think you should take a good look at yourself...
Ayara darted forward, her right arm and Kusarigama sweeping around, aimed to cut into Daylin's shoulder. Her left Kusarigama she kept ready, defending her torso.
...And see who's really "Little" here.
Artemis quickly withdrew her leg after making contact, noticing the blood.
I thought he didn't seem to be moving full-speed...He's already injured. But I can't let my guard down.
That hurt.
Artemis smiled a smile that was quite obviously NOT nice.
My apologies, Mr.Tylan, but this is a sparring game of Capture the Flag. You're bound to suffer injuries and things that will hurt.
Artemis felt the air temperature drop, and could see the staff whistling through the air towards her. She bent her knees, dropping down just a few inches, so that the staff collided with her upper arm/shoulder, instead of her side. Using the back end of her Quarterstaff, she knocked Tylan's staff away, and then jabbed her staff forward towards his right shoulder, pressing the button and releasing the hidden blade at the last second. (Basically, he has a bladed end of the staff aimed at his right shoulder.)

Tylan and Daylin
Daylin smiled, ripping his sword off the ground and blocking the weapon, causing the chain to slowly wind around around his blade. He ripped the bade, back, putting all his weight behind and trying to pull Ayara off balance! Once he had ripped back, he didn't bother to check if the weapon had been pulled away or not, he charged, pulling his fist back and swinging it at the arm of Ayara, trying not to injure her to badly!
I meant in terms of age and strength! In my mind, you are little!
Tylan shifted to the side, the staff whistling past his ear. He grimaced as his side began to burn and he focused more of his power into numbing it, before taking the open with the staff to the side and swinging his at the wrist of Artemis!
-
Ayara watched as the chain wrapped around.
Tsk. Erk-
Ayara stumbled forward a few steps as Daylin pulled, jerking the chain forward. She glanced up and saw the swing coming towards her shoulder.
Oh, that'll hurt if it hits.
Ayara flipped her left kusarigama up, jerking her right arm over to brace the back of the blade as the punch landed. The blade blocked the blow, but the force caused her to skid back a few inches.
That's a pretty mean arm ya got there, "big" guy.
As Ayara stopped skidding, she quickly shifted, putting pressure on her blade to knock Daylin's arm away.
I really don't like those punches of yours.
She darted forward, holding her Kusarigama by the handle (not the chain-weight, the handle.) and swinging down towards Daylin's shoulder.
Mind stoppin 'em?
As Artemis' staff missed, and she knew that she was open on the side.
Oh dear...
The blow hit her wrist, and she jumped back. Her hand was slightly numb. However, her other hand had a firm grip on her Quarterstaff. She gently shook her injured hand.
Well now, that certainly numbed my hand a bit. Well, it won't last too long. And I know how to fight one handed, so don't think you've made any progress, Mister Tylan.
She gave another one of those not-so-nice smiles, and gently gripped the staff again with her injured hand.
-
Tylan and Daylin
Daylin ducked, the blade going over his head. Tylan leaped over to them, catching the blade against his staff! As the steel of the blade clashed against the marble of the staff Daylin took it as an opening, quickly his sword straight at Artemis, attempting to distract her! Then he swung a quick punch at Ayaras' arm while he brought up his knee to slam her side!
(Daylin is holding back, so his punches aren't as powerful.)
-
Alala
After thinking about what happened for a bit I decide it isn't important at the moment..
Getting up and dusting myself off...
"Alright lets go see if we can get a flag...Maybe we can win this."
"I wonder if the others are fighting yet..Lets go find them."
-
Zer0
The demi-titan laughed more trying to cope with the situation, then actually finding anything funny. He was clutching his head, and his open wound, wobbling a bit, as if little dizzy. The eye on his chest rolled, and looked over at the one who had jumped up at the sign of him, almost as if he was annoyed.
"What the hell!" He looked over at Umbrea, uncertainly and...almost scared. Which almost made Zer0 laugh harder. "Please don't say I have to fight with this... person?"
There's nothing to worry about. I don't bite. And, you'll gt used to him, although he smells like blood and gore all the time. Trust me. If I can live with him, you can too, the eye said, before blinking, and rolling up to look at it's owner, who was currently looking at another titan in the group, who had just returned.
"Oooh~ You look like you should have some good blood...if your ever about to die tell me, I'll want a fresh sample..."
He grinned, moving his hand away from his wound, where he had finally drawn the kunai out of his belly. " I've got this here, if you wanna try me." He smirked, and started toying with the slimy kunai. He then turned to the female Titan. " I'm almost ready to go. I need some time for my wings to heal, and I'll need to fix up this wound before I'm ready~"
He plopped down onto the ground, than landed on his back, before pulling out a needle, and some thread. He went on to start sewing, humming a bit as he worked.
-
Alala
After several moments of walking Vin shortly behind....
I could hear clashing and such off in the distance.
"That must be them fighting it out..Heh I guess this has positives to it too."
"At least those 4 can get their frustrations on each other out a little bit."
As I was getting closer. It felt oddly cold...
Peeking around a corner I could see them just in the distance fighting each other.
"I wonder if it would be possible to sneak in and get the flag.."
Setting my spear and shield down to make less noise.. I start slowly stepping towards the flag in the wall.
-
Tylan
He knew he had bought Daylin enough time and he withdrew his staff, let the weapon whistle past him as he stepped aside. As he took a stance something caught his eye, a flash of blonde hair. He whipped around, spotting Alala as she crept towards the flag! He took a defensive stance and his voice was low as the wind carried his deadly words towards Alala.
Don't touch that flag.
Daylin
Daylin continued his punch at Ayara!
-
Alala
With a slight grin on my face..
"Hey there is nothing wrong with trying to be sneaky."
"But it would seem I am not that good at it."
"Oh well I guess I will be joining in also then?"
Taking out my daggers setting up in a stance.
-
Tylan
Tylan winced as his side was still dripping blood, but none the less made a singe swift movement. is feet slid across the ground and manuevering quickly he brought his staff down to weep her legs, while sending his free hand towards the side of her face!
Give up.
As Tylan focused the wind seemed to drop in temperature, the wind still whipping around slightly.
-
Efialtes
Efialtes finally got there, he slowly flew to the top, it was very hard to fly in the wind that was going on...
This is bad, this is bad..
He started to try and fly towards the flag but was having a very hard time...
There is no way I am going to get there... I'll need to change form into a better flyer, but I need stealth, or else I'll get caught.... hrmm...
He clung to the ceiling as He thought about what to do..
Mikto
Mikto smiled..
I would collect a blood sample from it, but I rather the blood samples I get be from people who are...no longer with us... its much easier to sort them this way...
He then looked around...
So, when do we think we'll be going? do I have time to go collect a blood sample from this dead arm, or at least see if there is any blood in it? or should I stay here?
[SIINTCA]
-
Alala
The staff sweeping my legs causing me to fall but able to duck to avoid the punch...
Catching myself before slamming into the floor I retaliate!
"I won't be going down so easily this time!"
About that time the wound on my arm shot a large amount of pain through my body.
Causing me to falter a bit.
Thinking to myself...
"No I wont lose so easily this time!"
In one swift motion I swing my leg around to try to trip Tylan.
-
Tylan
her leg slammed into his, causing him to lose his balance. He slammed his staff into the floor, putting his pressure on it and keeping himself up! HHe rested against the staff, catching his breath as pain reared white hot through his veins! He slowly ripped his staff from the ground, then swung the marble of it at Alalas' injured arm!
Daylin
Daylin was... still swinging his fist..... Man this was taking a long time!
-
Alala
Still not recovered from falling down the staff slams into my arm...
Pain shoots through my body again. Causing everything to go blurry for a moment..
Coming back to my senses pushing his staff away and quickly getting up and back into a stance.
"Well this will be interesting..."
Blood started dripping down my arm from the wound..
Thinking to myself again..
"I just hope that electric power doesn't surface again right now...Or I will surely lose. I can't handle it right now."
-
Tylan
Tylan watchered her wearily, his staff swaying slightly as his bosy did. He drew back his staff, placing the glistening blade of it to the dirt before charging at the wall beside him! He slammed his foot into it, using the momentum to reach higher into the air! He twirled the staff above him, swinging it down at the uninjured arm of Alala!
Daylin
By the gods, had Chronos himself cursed his arm to be lost in time!
-
Zer0
The demi-titan shrugged, and grinned at Mikto. "Whatever. I'll let you know when I'm bleeding to death, then. With the promise that you'll let me know when you're dying, my blood obsessed friend. Trying to eat fresh, ya know?"
He cracked his back, and sat up, the wound on his stomach all sewn up. He looked around, and jolted. " Hey...I never got names! That's gonna make things difficult, won't it?"
Okay people, make with the introductions.
Spectrome
Spectrome honestly had no idea of what to do. With the battle between the twins paused for a short amount of time, h made his way to the other side of the maze, coming up behind the Twins, and standing calmly behind their flag. H looked on as a spectator as Daylin launched an almost slow-movng punch at Ayara, and then he looked at the flag. Uninterested in the game, and yet wanting it to stop, he just reached out and grabbed the flag, tugging on the cloth, and yanking it from it's post.
He just stood there, with a straight look on his face, clutching the flag, as thy continued to fight.
-
Alala
Quickly crossing the daggers I was able to catch the staff with them.
The force of the staff staggered me a bit.
"Heh I must say you are pretty good."
"Lets see how you do with this!"
Backing up a bit then charging at Tylan full speed.
About midway towards him I hurl one of my daggers at him!
Preparing the other to strike.
-
Tylan
Tylan landed softly on the ground, quickly spinning his staff in front of him and stopping the dagger, causing the dagger to fall to the ground. He slid to the side and the strike aimed for him narrowly missed! then he slid behind her, twirling his staff towards the small of her back, trying to hit her with the marble!
-
Alala
As my strike missed and he swung at my back...I couldn't do anything but panic.
Getting struck from behind and slamming into the ground.
Pain in my back and chest from hitting the ground.
Barely able to breath from my chest.
"Gyah I have to get my other dagger back.." Thinking to myself
Quickly scrambling to grab my other dagger. I stagger to my feet.
-
Tylan
Tylans' vision began to swim and he shook his head to clea it. He had lost to much blood, and he knew it! Regardless he drew back his staff and charged again! He leaped into the air, then sent it spinning towards Alalas wrist!
Submit already!
-
Efialtes
Efialtes was thinking, he finally got a idea.. He landed and turned into a small tiger.
HEY! OVER HERE! HEY!
Mikto smirked.
Fair's fair, I'll tell you.
He then went back to playing with the arm.
My name is mikto.
[SIINTCA ;w;]
-
Alala
Aiming for such a small area again...
Quickly pulling my hands out of the way...
"It probably would be wise to submit and end all this nonsense!"
Throwing both my daggers down onto the ground and sitting up against the wall...
"Nonsense...." "Lies and nonsense..."
-
Tylan
Tylan vision swam, he struggled to keep his feet planted on the ground. He turned and noticed Spectrome, holding that flag to his face. He figured it was just an illusion, but none the less, stumbled over to Spectrome. He touched his arm to make sure he was real, then reached out and with some difficulty took the flag from Spectromes hand.
Lets go Daylin, I have th-........
Tylan collapsed before he could finish, his face hitting the ground and the flag floating lightly away!
Daylin
Daylin gasped and pulled his hand back as his brother collapsed!
Brother, please be alright!
He quickly rushed over, taking the flag off the ground and rolling Tylan onto his back. Forgetting it was a competition he wrapped the flag around his brother wound as a bandage.
This game is over, Tylan needs help.
-
Alala
Sitting there thinking...
"Why would they lie to me for such a long time...."
"The man I lived with and thought of as my father really wasn't."
"What do I do now...Sure I am smart but it isn't anything to seriously brag about."
"This new found power is cool and all but makes me pass out."[/i]
Sighing a bit as I sit there waiting for everyone.
-
As Ayara prepared to defend against the blows, she could hear the noise off to the side as Tylan apparently fought with one of the others. Artemis was a few feet to Ayara's right, apparently watching for if she was needed. Both turned at the sound of someone falling. Daylin had already abandoned the fight to rush to his brother's side.
"Brother, please be alright!"
The twins saw as Daylin reached his brother, taking their flag, which apparently Spectrom had gotten.
He's not even PLAYING...Wait, how tall IS he?! We put that flag at ceiling height!
He used the flag as a bandage, obviously all thoughts of the game leaving his head.
"This game is over, Tylan needs help."
Both twins moved forwards towards the brothers at the same time.
Artemis.
Ayara called sharply.
Already on it, sister.
They reached the brothers, and Ayara came up behind Daylin, while Artemis came up beside him. Ayara grabbed Daylin's shoulder.
Move. Artemis can help with this. So let her by.
Artemis quickly kneeled beside Tylan, beginning to check the wound, ignoring Daylin completely.
(When Artemis is working, she won't pay much attention to other people besides Ayara, hence "ignoring" Daylin.)
-
Daylin
Daylin stepped back, letting Artemis work. He should never of let his breother fight in this state! He slammed his fist into the wall, causing crack to spread through it and a large indention to surround his fist.
Dammit!!!!!
He summoned his sword, quickly dissecting the wall into fragments with severals slice of his blade.
Dammit, Dammit, Dammit!
-
Artemis worked quickly, removing the bandage as she worked. She closed the wound first, to stop the bleeding. She began talking to Daylin, since Tylan was in no position to remember all this.
I can mostly heal this, but to heal all the intricacies of the injury would take quite a while. I'll stop the bleeding and make sure the injury doesn't open back up, but it'll still be sore for a while. It'll essentially be a large bruise. Normally I'd tell you to keep him from fighting, but in this situation, that doesn't really work.
Artemis paused her speaking for a moment, continuing to work.
Ayara glanced at Daylin as he took out his anger on the wall.
Daylin. Shut up and listen. I know you're pissed, but what Artemis is saying is about your brother's injury. You'll find it wise to listen.
Ayara didn't bother to check and see if Daylin had calmed down. Artemis began to speak again.
When we get into another fight, try to defend his side. The healing should hold, but it'll be painful for your brother if he takes a fresh blow to the area.
-
Daylin
Daylin quietly listened to Artemis, ignoring Ayara. As she finished he turned and hurled his sword down the hall of the maze. It slammed into the wall at the other end with a'thud'. Daylin ran down the hallway, smashing his fist into the hilt of his sword. The sword slid further into the wall as Dayln's kuckle were coated in a sticky red fluid. He riped the swordd out of the wall, his blood pooling onto the cool metal of the sword.
Dammit! Dammit, Dammit, Damm-
Be quiet Daylin.
The voice echoed around the maze, and the breeze that had died down when Tylan fainted had returned.
Tylan
Tylan shakily got to his feet, pushing Artemis away and summoning his staff t support him. His side ached with a passion, but he had other things t deal with.
Do you want Hades to hear of from here?!
-
Alala
"Hmm well if Hades heard it.."
"It would definitely make things more interesting.."
"And aren't we supposed to be going see Hades or something?"
"All this fighting made me forget our purpose here."
Sighing a bit.
-
Tylan and Daylin
Daylin sighed in relief, Tylan was back. Tylan, being the man he was, knw they beter get going.
When we were heading over here I spotted and exit to the maze. Problem is, it is guarded by a Hydra. However we will have to kill the Hyrda, we needs its fangs. We are all injured, but we are going to have to gather the ingredients. Alala, once we get out of here why don't you attempt to lure away a hell hound and take its eye? Efialtes, you, Artemis and Ayara, need to go after the Gryphon. WWe will all go after the Hydra and the Chimera, they are to dangerous to tackle alone. Daylin and I will handle the drake guarding the dragon skeleton. Any question?
Daylin smiled, his brother really was fine.
Now lets get going, we have a hyrda to kill. Artemis, heal your sister and meet us there.
With that said Tylan began to walk down the hall, Daylin behind him, heading for the exit.
-
As Tylan calmed his brother, Ayara rolled her eyes, and Artemis sighed, getting to her feet.
So, We're starting with the Hydra and then splittin' up, huh? Ya know, I used to LIKE Gryphons...
Artemis sighed, shaking her head.
Sister...
Ayara grinned at Artemis.
Hey, c'mon, you know me. No mission goes un-commented on.
Artemis rolled her eyes, making her way over and kneeling by her sister's leg, to start closing the injury. Ayara stayed still while Artemis worked.
You know the drill, Artemis. Just close it up. I can let it heal on it's own.
Artemis kept working, not happy with this.
Sister, please, I should really do as much as-
Ayara cut her off.
We've gone over this before, Artemis. You need to save your energy in case someone gets severely injured-not just a cut on the leg.
Artemis sighed.
I know, I know...
Artemis stood up, working briefly on her sister's side for a moment to fix the cracked rib. The brothers had already left down the hallway. As Artemis straightened, Ayara looked around.
Hey. Is there anyone else here who needs Artemis to take a look at their injuries? Speak now, or we're leaving after those two.
Ayara jerked her head towards the hallway that the brothers had left down, while Artemis stayed silent.
-
Alala
Walking up next to them hearing out the plan...
"Sounds good to me..."
"Another note how are we supposed to kill this hyrda?"
Looking around everyone to see it.
"This might be quite a bit harder than our last opponent..."
-
Daylin
DAylin quickly took thelead from Tylan, hoping to cover his brother if anything happened.
Tssssssss
Daylin whipped around, his sword at the ready as a mess of blue and black heads flew directly at him! Side stepping one, he punched another in the head, snapping its neck.
Hydra!
He could see the exit right behind the Hydra, they needed to get there quickly!
Tylan
Quickly stepping up beside Daylin he raised his staff, an outstretched head with its mouth wide open colliding with the cold marble! Tylans heels dug into the ground as he was forced backwards. At the last second he pulled his staff back and stepped to the side, the hydra head flying into a wall and falling unconscious!
We would like some help.
-
Efialtes turned into a small tiger and started going down the way daylin and tylan went, when he started hearing fighting noises... he started Running as fast as he could, when he saw them fighting teh hydra.
NOT GOOD NOT GOOD!
He dashed at one of the hydra heads and leaped at it.
DIE I SAY! DIIIIE!
he had a bad feeling about this....
Mikto
Mikto looked around.
So we goin or what?
[SIINTCA]
-
Daylin
Twirling his sword he stabbed it through the top of a head, instantly killing the head. He felt something slam into his stomach and he was lifted ff his feet. He slammed into the rock wall behind him, hard. Rubbing his head he felt a sticky warm liquid, blood. Swearing he punched a Hydra head, causing it to whip back, breaking its neck.
Where is a medic when ya need one.....
Tylan
His staff whirled in front of him, constantly blocking head after head that lunged at him. He could see a way to get behind the Hydra, and as one last head lunged at him he blocked it, then leaped towards the narrow path. He slid right beside the Hydra, ending up beside it. Looking up he gawked. The thing had at least thirty heads! As one head noticed him it whipped back, its mouth open in a feral snarl! Pointing his staff like a spear Tylan impaled the Hydra!
Damn, there is just to many.
Gm post
The claws of the tiger cut deep into one of the Hydra necks causing acidic blood to spew out. The hydra head roared in pain, before several heads lunged at the tiger!
-
He jumped back, just in time too, the blood splattered onto the ground and made a hissing noise....sounded acidic...
OW OW OW!
He managed to jump back, until the last head came at him, it hit him and sent him flying into a wall, causing large amounts of pain.
Medic!
He turned into his best form, the small dragon and flew at the hydra head that sent him flying, claws extended.
I IS BIG SCARY MONSTER. RAWR!
[SIINTCA :I]

(Okay, this might be a LITTLE OC.... but I need some sort of explanation for what Vin's been doing besides standing in a daze.)
Vin
A-alright...
Vin concentrated on the blade (Which he fixed already.) and it glowed. He winced a little and concentrated more energy into it, he was really pushing his limit. He then released it onto the wall and it blew into peices, along with the wall behind it. Vin was gasping for breathe, hardly able to move. He needed to rest. When Daylan and Tylan left, he started walking twards their 'base' slowly.
I'll be back at the base... I can just barely walk....
His words came out of his mouth like a whisper, but he literaly couldent care right now, and managed to find his way back to the base, and sat down to rest, unaware of what's happening around me.
Kain
Suddenly Umbrea was back, with a menacing looking guy with blood all over him. He smelled strongly of both murder and evil.... i liked this guy already!
Ah, a new member? Pleased to meat you!
I bowed, a bit magesticly, and then he rather forcefully asked for the introductions.
The name's Kain, half-griffon. My hobbies include killing, torchering, killing inocents and slaughtering demi-gods. Now who are you?
(Say if I need to change anything. And if anyone has ever wondered about Kain's voice, imagine he's Kefka from FF.)
-
Mikto
Mikto leaned up against a wall.
gonna guess I have time to extract a blood sample from this...
Mikto takes out a syringe then carefully uses his syringe like weapon to extract a blood sample, then puts the blood sample in a vial.
Now I just hope I don't meet the owner of the arm.
[SIINTCA. and we can't let this die :I]
-
GM post @ Ayara
Several of the Hydra heads jetted out at the twins, shooting straight out, but one silently sneaked behind them, there was no way it was hearable.
@ Meowth
Three heads shot out at Efialtes, his blood smelled delicious!
@ Nexalas
Several of the longer necks had snake around the corner of the maxe, they smelled another demi-titan. Upon spotting him, they knew he was absolutely a demi-titan, but he smelled of Demi-gods. They were not allowed to eat Demi-titans, but traitors were theirs for the taking! They lunged at him!
@ Nightshade
They smelled Athena, she had blinded the main head, and he wanted revenge! A large black head, concealed by the other shot out at Alala, followed by over ten more heads!
Umbrea
We shall relax for a bit, the demi-gods are 'entertained' for the moment.
She cackled wickedly.
Tylan and Daylin
Seeing Alala attacked, Tylan and Daylin rushed to help! Tylan whipped down his staff, managing to knock away one head, then blocked another with his staff! Dylin pounded several heads, and after a moment only fours heads were flying at Alala, one oddly black! (It is the main head...)
-
Vin
Vin was able to gather some more energy in his small rest, and manadged to roll out of the way of the hydra head, just barely. He looked at the Hydra head, confused.
A hydra....?! Okay, I officialy know nothing about this mase.
And on that note he started running away from the head, not really being able to fight.
Kain
He looked at umbrea, a bit agitated.
Are we going to kill them or not?
-
Gm post @ Nexalas
The Hydra heads continued to chase, one passing in front of him to block his path.
Well little demi-titansssssss Childssssss, why do you run? We just want to helpssssssssssss...
The heads began to surround him, preparing to eat him. They didn't notice the large boulders around the tops of the maze, held by a single pebble, that if removed would crush the hydra heads......
Silene
Suddenly several knifes formed in her hands, flying at Kain! They whizzed past his ears, and Umbrea shadow traveled behind him. She whispered quietly into the husk of his ear.
Don't question me, spawn of Griffin...
-
Vin
Vin looked around franticly for a way out of some kind, then noticed the rock trap above him. He smiled.
Sorry, your the only one needing help.
He gripped his sword and it glowed, he them fired an energy slash above him at the rocks, and he braced himself when they fell, and when they stopped falling, he closed his eyes and looked around. The hydra head was crushed under the rocks.
Heh, guess he messed with the wrong.... man... Ugh...
He fell on his butt againt a wall. He seriously needed rest.
Kain
He was frozen as the many knives flew by him, then the demi-titan shadow traveled behind him, and whispered in his ear... So she sees him as nothing but a monster... and this feeling he had.... was this.... fear? He chuckled softly, amused. he didn't feel true fear in a long time.
Very well, you have my respect, and I'll wait... If only I didn't have my limit...
He and backed off, though it may not have been obvious, he was struck with fear, and had new respect for the demi-titan. He sort of fantasised what he could do with her power.
So what did you... 'entertain' them with anyway?... For curiosity's sake.
-
Umbrea
She smiled wickedly, flicking her silver hair out of her eyes. Summoning a knife she began to c;lean her nails, which were painted silver.
A hydra, a very large hydra. The biggest and oldest one we had. And it has a real problem with demi-gods!
She cackled wickedly.
They can beat it, I know. After all, my brother are with them, and together they can beat me.
-
Efialtes
Efialtes continued flying, and had his claws extended at two of them..
DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!
Mikto
Mikto smirked at umbrea
So, if they're gonna win, why don't we go see if we can make them lose?
He kinda had it so he could look into the hallway he got the arm from.. he was kinda afraid the guy would come for him...
[SIINTCA]
-
Cornelius
Cornelius was patrolling the halls, a bit confused. He had no idea where he was, but his orders were to find and kill the demi-gods. Well, more like 'exterminate' as they put it, but, whatever. Same thing if you think about it.
Let's see.... I bet the demi-gods are about as lost as me. But the question is: Where are they lost at?
He stopped and thought for a moment. He knew little about the mountain and even littler about the demi-titans in it. The halls where split three ways at his position...
Hmmm... I wonder if my cards can tell me something...
A card slipped from his sleeve and he looked at it. It was the joker card.
Now if only I knew what that ment....
He kept walking straight, not caring at this point.
Kain
He looked at Mikto awkwardly. He forgot to kill the owner? Then he had a evil laugh.
I bet the rest of them are having a hard time though.... which reminds me. Did you hear about the traitor being with them? What was his name....
He thought for a moment. Whoever he was he wanted dibs on him.
Vin
Vin was still resting, charging his energy. He had enough for one energy slash now, but he needed more if he hoped to be useful.
-
When no one replied, the twins quickly made their way around the corner, aware of the individual battles already occurring. They were greeted by a group of heads headed towards them, ready to strike. Ayara quickly gripped the handles of her Kusarigamas, aiming to stab through the eyes of the hydras. Artemis released the blades on both ends of her quarterstaff and began stabbing and blocking. They stood back to back as each fought off heads.
Well, this is quite a warm welcome.
Now is not the time for sarcasm, sister.
It's always the time for sarcasm.
Artemis knocked a head away, following up by trying to stab it in the eye, hoping to kill it.
Please focus on the task at hand for now.
Tsk. That's no fun.
Ayara stabbed at a hyrdra head's throat with her right kusarigama, knocking another away with the flat of the blade in her left hand.
-
GM post @ Ayara
One hydra head was stabbed through the eyes. It roared in pain as the cold steel cut through its dilated, lizard like eyes. It hissed out, acidic blood spilling onto the dirt, burning its own scales as it dripped from its eye. Whipping around wildly it covered its brethren in the blood, distracting one, who was impaled on the Kusarigama, through the throat. The heads fell to the ground, many burnt beyond recognition. As its brothers fell, the on behind the twins made its move, coiling back and striking at the wall! They began to shake, the wall crumbling. Boulders dropped around the head, blocking the entrance behind it.
There issssssssssssssss no esssssssssscape!
The head reared back, striking at Artemis, but if she evaded he would crash into a pool of acidic blood.
Umbrea
Hmm, the traitor. He isn't fairing too well. He is exhausted and out of energy. To bad he doesn't know about the pool of rejuvenation hidden down there.
(Hint, hint.)

Alala
Seeing the heads flying at me....I slightly panicked...
There was one that had its eyes badly damaged.
I noticed an opening below them.
Quickly taking my shield and spear I dash at them..
"You bastards won't get me that easily!!"
As I approached them I put my shield in the air and slide right under their attack as they grazed the shield instead of me.
When the heads passed I quickly slashed the spear in a sidewards motion slashing up at one of the throats of the heads...
Rolling to the side to recover and get up..Looking to see if I cut it or not..
(Sorry for such a late post I couldn't think of anything to say...)

The claws dig deep into both he hydra necks, stopping them dead! The third head had been covered in acid, from Ayaras attack, and was on the ground. Both heads coil around it each other, the claws coming out before acid could fall on them. In blind fury the heads begin attacking each other, ending when they bit deep into each others necks. THey fell to the ground, dead.
Gm post @ Nightshade
The Hydra throat was splashed, and blood spilled everywhere, burning and killing all the heads but the man one.
You fool!!!!!! The main head reared up, trying to smash Alala!
Tylan and Daylin
Everyone, aim at the main head!
Tylan hurled his staff with blades extended, Daylin threw his sword, both sailing straight at the head!
-
Alala
Seeing the head coming down to crush me.
I couldn't think of anything to do...
All I could do was scream and hold out the spear...
Closing my eyes from what has happening all I could do was scream...
"Noo!!"
As I closed my eyes I could feel my power surging again....As electricity shot out from the tip of the spear shooting at the Hydra...
Not realizing what I did again..I could feel myself getting extremely tired and fainted...

efialtes was happy he hit, and then noticed they were about to fall on him..
ohcrapohcrapohcrap..
He managed to barrely dodge, but one of his wings were barely hit, making him spiral out of control into a wall.
HUIIADBIUAnindiaaytdvayvdubBUSABUYSBDA
He hit the ground, and then finally tried to get up..but..he couldn't.. he morphed back to human and fainted... dragon took way to much power...

Kain
He had a disapointed look on his face.
Damn, and I thought he would be fun to play with!... Oh well, easy kill.
Vin
I cant help but feel like I'm forgetting something.... something really important.
He thought for a moment, and decided to walk around a bit. Though he cant regain his energy as fast when he's on the move, he felt like it would be worth finding out what he forgotten... though he couldent really remember what it was, he felt like it would make things alot easier for him.
Ace (calling him ace from now on)
He was still lost, looking for a sighn of the demi-gods.
I wonder if anyone else get's lost here...
Kain
Kain sneezed.

The staff and the sword hit him in the side of the neck, causing blood to billow out. it rained down towards Alala, and the lightning finished the head off. The whole body of the Hydra trembled and shook, before collapsing. But as t did the main head fell down, hurtling towards Alala with the acidic blood pouring........
Tylan and Daylin
Alala move!
Before Daylin could react Tylan had carelessly charged at Alala. The last time sight Daylin caught of his brother was him shoving Alala out of the way, the mammoth head collapsing on top of him...........
Tylan!!!!!!!!!!!!
In a single bound Daylin had leaped to his side, lifting the head of the Hydra and slamming it into a wall. He ignored the pain as the acidic blood melted his skin, looking dejectedly at the body of Tylan. His body had been crushed in several places, third degree burns covering him. Shockingly Daylin could still see the rise ad fall of breath....
Your alive....'
D-daylin
Daylin brushed a strand of hair away from the burnt face of Tylan.
Save your breath, you'll make it out of this......
tylan chuckled, his whole body racking n pain.
No Daylin, this was my final act... Today is curtain call..........
Do't say tha-
Just shut up and listen for once Daylin!
Daylin went silent, his face pale.
Today is my final act, but it better not be yours. you have to make it out of here alive, for the both of us. Promise me that?
Daylin nodded, numbly.Tylan removed something from his pocket, placing it in the palm of Daylins hand.
Read this... Please don't be mad.... you have to keep your anger under control, I'm no longer here to stop you.....
Tylan wheezed, his breathing ragged.
Goodbye.... D-Daylin, be strong......
Tylans chest stopped rising, his breathing stopping altogether....
Brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Daylin clenched his fist, tears spilling over his eyes and his lips trembling.
Brother.... I miss you.......
Daylin collapsed, sobs racking his body..
Gm post @ Nexalas
A fountain appeared in front of Vin... its water sparkling.....
-
Alala
As I was coming back I could feel myself rolling from being pushed.
Slowly sitting up extremely exhausted from what happened.
Looking up I could see Daylin in quite a mess.
"W-what h-happened.....?"
In a trembling voice I asked...
-
Vin blinked, and suddenly remembered something. There was a rumor of a pool of rejuvenation being in the maze somewhere, and he completly forgot about it. It looked more like a fountain, but at the moment he didn't care, and fell to his knees at the water. He touched the water in an attempt to scopp and drink it, but then suddenly his hand glowed. The light traveled up his arm and flowed into his body and an amazing feeling came over him, and suddenly he felt better than ever, and all his power was back.
Whoah.... This is incredible! I gotta get to the oth-
He stopped mid-sentence. That hydra head, and the others... Realisation hit him like a pile of bricks, he was so busy trying to recover he completly forgot about the others!
... He started running towards where the other probably were. Crap! Crap! Crap! Crap!, etc...
-
Daylin
Daylin slowly lifted Tylan off the ground, his brothers body cold.
He took the blow for you....... You'd be dead right now if it wasn't for him.....
His vocie was cold, devoid of emotion.
We need to get out of here, so I can give my brother the burial he deserves.
Suddenly his emotions rushed back to him, and he dropped to his knees, clutching his brothers body tight as he sobbed.
Why brother? Why?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Vin heard a yell and sprinted into the scene, coming to a grinding stop. He looked around and saw Tylan, dead, in Daylins arms. He was covered in burns(well, it looked more like he melted) and the hydra that attacked him was dead.
W-... wha...? W-what... happened?
He was at a loss for words, he didn't think Tylan would actualy die...
-
Alala
My eyes opened widely in shock...
"W-what did you j-just say!"
Not really being able to comprehend all what took place...
"But how? Why?.....Why would he do that?!?"
Tears started rolling down my face...
"No one has ever did that for me before...."
Using my spear as a prop to stand up. I look over to Daylin.
"I am sorry. This is my fault this happened. I don't have control over what ever that power was...It made me vulnerable."
-
Daylin
Daylin shook his head sadly.
My.... My brother knew what he was doing. He considered you friends... Or at least in some way.....
He sniffled.
Alala.... My brother was always very protective of his friends....
Daylin chuckled.
We never had many friends.... And a lot of them died...... That is why he is so protective....
Then he turned to Vin.
my brother was crushed by a hydra....
-
Alala
Listening to what Daylin said.
"Well then I will be very grateful for what he did for me and I won't forget this..."
Bowing to them.
"As Daylin has said we need to get out of here..I am sick of this place.."
"Oh before we forget was there any thing we needed off of a hydra for the ingredients by any chance?"
"Need not forget our mission also."
-
Vin stood there for a minute, processing all of this. Aparrently he died in a heroic act saving Alala. He nodded his head down, ashamed that he wasent here to help.
S-... Sorry for your loss... He died a hero, at the very least...
He looked at Alala.
She has a point... though Tylan is a heavy loss we cant forget our mission, otherwise his sacrifice will mean nothing... also.
Vin pointed behind him with his thumb.
I found a fountain of rejuvenation back there.
-
Daylin
Daylin nodded wiping away his tears.
Get the ingredient, I will give you all a way out.
He gently laid Tylan on the ground, before drawing his fist back. He focused all his anger, rage, pain, into his knuckles. Power began to hum around him, ad he charged at the wall of the maze/mountain! His fist slammed hard into it the stone, a buzzing filling the maze as the wall began to crack! A bright light reverberated around the room as the wall shattered, letting sunlight rake in.
We can leave as soon as you get the ingredients.
-
**just gonna skip to the battle being over an everything, k?**
The twins watched in silence as Daylin mourned his brother. Neither one made any attempt to speak. As the discussion moved on, and Daylin smashed the wall, Ayara stepped forward a pace.
Alala and Vin are correct. We should get moving. But if we heal up at the fountain first, we'll do better once we're out of here.
Ayara folded her arms, and Artemis made her way over to Daylin, speaking quietly so only he could hear.
Daylin...I don't know if it would work...But perhaps, at the spring, the water could be used to repair some of your brother's injuries before you bury him...
-
Daylin
Daylin allowed himself a small smirk.
Thank you for the thought....... I appreciate it, but my brother never was one for looks. He wouldn't appreciate f I disturbed his rest......
A single, tear rolled down Daylins cheek, caught by a northern breeze and carried away......
Don't cry for me...........Brother........
It was a whisper..... It was his brother. He did say he would always watch over him, and Tylan never lies..... A fire burned deep within Daylin's eyes.
I won't brother, I won't.....
He stood quietly, before picking up a fragment of Tylan's shattered staff, which had been crushed by the hydra. Walking up, he dipped the fragment into the acidic blood of the hydra. Pressing the weapon into his arm, he began to carve, the acid searing into his skin.
Tylan&Daylin, brothers in arms. With glory he fell~
He hissed out in pain, letting the acid sink in. It left deep red scorch marks, the words forever carved into his skin.
Lets get going, heal up at the fountain.
Umbrea
Umbrea reached her hand out.
Everyone, grab on. time e pay the demi-gods a visit....

Kain
Kain grabbed her hand instantly, extremely excited.
Which one should I try to kill first? Mabye that what's-his-face traitor, or mabye the youngest one...
Vin
Vin started walking twards the direction of the fountain.
Follow me, it was somewhere around this area.

Gm post @ Demi-titans
Heart break. It was the pain that rushed through Baylee's body as she observed the burnt and battered body of Tylan through the I.M. She had watched them from the beginning..... But, her heart screamed out for her to run to Tylan, run to him fast. 'I keep holding onto him, but I can't bring him back to life.....'
Why the frown Baylee, why look so sad?
A perky voice split the tension in the air, causing the blonde to whip around.
Sir, no offense, but you know why.....
The man tipped his hat, showing wisps of black hair. His cloak hung around his legs, and electricity crackled within his eyes.
Well, is this about the loss of Tylan Hakima? Good soldier, but boy, he was to serious! Tell you what, why don't you pay those little Demi-titans a visit?
Her heart leaped out fr the chance at revenge. They would pay for Tylan's death.......
Yes sir, I will do as you command, sir!
She saluted smartly, then walked out of the hidden room in the mountain. The man watched with gloom, knowing she would be yet another casualty....
