Plot
For many years, the villages spread throughout the lands of Beringan battled for supremacy. The luscious forest burned to the ground, and the crystal clear rivers became polluted with the blood of Warriors. Innocent children's Lives destroyed at the young age of fourteen, as they were ripped from their homes and brought before the village blacksmith. With the blacksmiths assistance, they would forge a weapon suited for them alone, then they were shipped off to shipped off to war.
It went on like this, with the villages slowly destroying Beringan until the village, Kai Sung, returned from a voyage across the sea. They had brought with them an army of men with crudely made weapons and strange powers that made them seem almost, inhuman.
Kai Sung quickly defeated the other villages with the help of the in-humans they quickly united everyone under one banner. With Kai Sungs’ reign came forty years of piece, yet the tradition of a child of age fourteen forging themselves a weapon remained. The in-humans responsible for Kai Sung victory were quickly forgotten or treated like dirt. They lived on the edges of forests or villages so they weren't harassed by jealous humans. While humans had forged weapons and good training, in-humans had their abilities and or cruelly forged weapons. This continued for years until, Takima, the only village who had enough strength to rival Kai Sung, began to make an army of in-humans and other villages that hated Kai Sings reign. Skirmishes are breaking out daily between the warriors united under the banners of Takima or Kai Sung, and the battles get disturbingly closer to the village of Kai Sung with each passing day.

Take this Raithen!
Shouted a guard as he leaped into the air and his long sword came hurtling towards Raithen. Raithen's heels dug into the soft sand that made up the training area as he blocked the strike with his sword. He quickly whipped his swords around and placed it at the guards throat
I win.
Their was a loud caw as his hawk Rioku came flying down to land on his shoulder. He sheathed his sword into the leather holster on his back, and he looked over at the white haired girl standing at the tree line that marked the border of the sparring area.
Raithen, you ready to leave?
He nodded then strolled over to his best friend Kyra, Rioku gave a 'caw' of recognition as they reached her. Raithen gave her a smile that only she had ever seen, and they strolled out of the tree line. They walked closer and closer to the edge of the village till, they finally reached the water that was the villages border. They sat far from the bridge that let you cross out of the village, and the guard post at the top of the stone sentry rower nodded as he recognized them. Raithen could hear the sound of carts being pulled by horses going across the stone pavement in the village market area. Rioku flew off his shoulder and began to fly above the river,
Nice day isn't it?
Raithen nodded and noticed that Kyra had stripped her shoes of and was kicking her feet in the water. Rioku swooped down and plucked a leaping almon out of the water and landed on a tree branch, eating the salmon. Raithen stood up and extended a hand towards Kyra,
Lets walk.
She took his hands and they began to stroll along the bank.
(I need to know where everyone is at.)
-
In a cave marked with Hamon's symbol by the entrance, an eerie sense of death can be felt.
I call you, rise! Rise from the depths of hell and relinquish your soul. Give in to the call of this mighty vessel. Awaken!
A skeleton rises up, holding onto a crude sword and shield.
Go now, join your brethren at the entrance.
The skeleton obeyed his new master. Hamon was hard at work creating all sorts of guards to patrol the caverns, keeping his practice safe. Only those that represent the Tamika would be allowed entrance. He grabbed some more bones he dug up from shallow graves and began to assemble another one, chanting an ancient spell as he did.
-
In the courner of the village, smoke was coming out from a house, and from it loud bangs on metal could be heard, inside was a small figure with a big hammer banging it on a blade of a sword which was red from the heat, she checked on it sides, up, down
"Mmm....still a little bent..."
she goes back to banging on it a couple of times more then checks it again
"better now..."
she places it on the water as a large ammount of vapor comes from it, alot of blades were allready in water from her working earlyer the morning
"And now the order from yesterday... i need to finish it..."
She goes to the forge and grabs the handle of a weapon, then suddently pulls out a long one with two large blades at the tip, a large double bladed axe, she places it on the table and starts banging on it, she had been working on it last night, now she was only giving it the finishing touches.
-
Heading towards the main village of Kai Sung. Taking a short rest on the side of the road with Siren close to Vixon's side.
Vixon: So Siren what do you plan on doing when we get into the next village.
Siren: Hopefully be able to make us a little money to eat with. If anyone needs any medical needs I will be there to help.
With a gentle smile she looks up at Vixon tranced as he thinks of what to do.
A few moments later Vixon thought it was enough time of a rest and picked up Siren to her feet.
Vixon: C'mon lets head to the village.

GM post
A large burly looking guard walks into the cave the necromancer's in
High ups want you to speed up your minion making, we need to be ready for the assault.
(You can either kill him or have him walk out Cortex.)
-
The skeleton rose like the first.
I can only work so fast. This is very delicate work. If I make a false move, then I have to start over.
He grabs his staff and taps it on the ground. A large horde of minions he commanded to sleep arose outside from the earth.
They are ready for your your masters. I just like to keep my assets in order here. Now leave me to my work, I am on the verge of a breakthrough.
He goes and takes a seat in a throne made of bones and and pulls out a piece of paper with blood writing on it.
Where will I find wings big enough? maybe I'll need to stitch them from many bats.
(Pay no mind to that last sentence. A necromancer's duty is to create new minions, and I will have it limited to the ones in my profile.)

GM post
The guard nodded and lead the minions out and to the higher ups.

Ayara sat in the crook of a tree, reading one of the few books the sisters could get their hands on. Artemis sat at the base of the tree, reading through a medical book and practicing various basic first aid.
Artemis, you know that stuff by heart. Why are you practicing right now?
Artemis looked up at her sister.
Ayara, there's no such thing as too much practice.
Ayara huffed and went back to reading her book.
I know that! But you don't need to be practicing that simple stuff. You're a much better healer than that.
Artemis shook her head, smiling. She returned to working as her sister nimbly jumped from the tree, landing lightly on her feet.
I'mm go take a look towards the town. Don't want to be having problems if something happens.
Artemis nodded pleasantly.
Alright. I'll stay here. Hurry back, okay?
Ayara nodded, and moved quickly off to the edge of the trees to watch towards the town. There had been all sorts of things happening recently.
And I'd rather not be taken by surprise...

GM post
As the inhuman heads towards the village, she is spotted by the guards men in the tower,
Inhuman, state your business and begone scum
The guard bellowed and readied hid long bow, aiming at the Inhuman.
-
My eyes narrowed as the guard bellowed at me from a far. He had his longbow already prepared to shoot.
I'm barely out of the treeline and he's threatening me...Tsk. Just like the rest.
I stopped walking forward, careful to keep my movements from seeming hostile. I didn't reach for my own longbow, though I could probably shoot the man down, if I wanted. Probably.
Lower your bow, guard. I'm not planning on getting any closer. I'm mearly keeping watch. My sister thinks we should offer assistance to you, if the town is ever in need of it. That is our only reason for residing here.
Artemis looked up, in the direction her sister had gone. She could feel Ayara's annoyance-
She must have run into a guard...They don't particularly like us, or ANY Inhumans...
-
Raithen looked on as the guard pulled his and as his fingers began to release their was a high pitched faq and a shriek if pain. As Rioku flew away from the guard the arrow flew harmlessly into the ground,
Raithen, I'll report you for treachery-
His words went no further as Rioku swooped down a nd clawed the man's face, he fell off the tower, and landed on Raithens extended blade, killing him instantly. Raithen wiped his blade on the grass, then whipped out parchment, ink, and a quilled feather, he scrolled an apology to the inhuman, and handed it to Rioku. Taking it, Rioku made short work of the distance then handed the inhuman the parchment.
Raithen, he wad one of ours how could you kill him?
Raithen looked over at Mural and grabbed her trembling hand, steadying it, she did always hate death.
The guard wash't one of ours, he was a cruel bastard who deserved what he got.
-
Efialtes was going through the forest, trying to avoid either side in fear they will kill him.when his kitteh jumped off his arm and ran off.Fluffy! nuu get back here!
efialtes ran for a while trying to catch the kitten when he finally found it, it was staring at a wolf girl that was practicing medicalstuff.
(in head)Oooh, medical stuff, I wonder if she could teach me anything..
The kitten starts approaching her and tilts its head.
Mrow?
Efialtes facepalms, he starts quietly walking out of the brush.or atleast trying, but instead it makes a lot of noise.
(in head) YOU FOOL! She might kill us now.yeah, we're gonna die.
Efialtes tries to quietly pick up the kitten, but instead, trips and falls on his face.
*muffled* I am a moron, and you kitteh are what makes me that.
The kitteh rushes at him and paws at him.
Mrow?
The kitteh stops pawing at efialtes and goes over to the wolf girl and meows at her.
(bad post is bad TT_TT I need to get better...)
-
I watched as the little scene unfolded before me, with little curiosity. In every race there are squabbles and fights-I'll not butt in for such a reason. I watched as the hawk winged its way over to me, with a paper rolled in it's talons. When it arrived, I carefully took the paper, reading through it quickly.
Oh, so there's still a human out there who'd bother to apologize to an Inhuman. What a surprise. After all, isn't disgust the typical response you have to us?
I rolled the paper up and turned to a nearby tree, climbing up it. If I was to keep watch, I would do so in a better position. I could feel Artemis with a mild curiosity, but it was nothing to worry about. I'd know if something was wrong.
Artemis could feel that Ayara was still annoyed, but nothing seemed to be wrong, so I went back to practicing. After a moment or two, I could hear small footsteps approaching. I didn't look up. If it was an animal, there was no need to startle it. I did, however, look up when I heard an unusual sound for this area:
Mrow?
I realized that there was a kitten standing in front of me, with it's head cocked to one side. I could also see a small boy in a white coat walking out of the bushes behind the kitten. After a few steps, he trips, falling on his face. I could hear him muttering something into the ground. The kitten goes over to him, pawing and meowing for a moment, then returns to looking at me. I looked past the cat at the boy, who was still on the ground.
Um... You didn't...scratch yourself, when you fell, did you? If you did, I have medical supplies. I can disinfect and bandage any cuts you may have.
I took another look at the boy and realized that he looked like a human.
Ah! Or, I could just leave some for you to use yourself, if you'd rather not have an Inhuman help you...
-
Rioku quickly flew back to Raithen and landed on his shoulder, releasing Kyra, who's cheeks were now tinged pink, hand, he stroked Rioku. Turning towards the river, he had Rioku begin to catch fish for them to eat. He quickly gathered a bundle of dead leaves and small logs, he pulled out the pair of flint rocks given to him by Kyra's mother. He made a circle of stones, and shaoed the sticks into a repress of sorts. He rubbed the flint together until a small spark flew, igniting the leaves. After a moment Rioku had returned with two salmon and a large Trout, and Turgenev had a fire blazing. He carefully placed each fish onto the flames, and as they cooked, he threw the guards body into the river, it ran red with blood, just like the legend.
Sit down Raithen, I'll finish the fish.
He sat down and smiled at her, showing his pearly white teeth, and she began to slow roast the fish.
-
Efialtes got up with a small cut on his arm.
Oh cool, you wont kill me.
the kitten went back to efialtes and climbed his shoulder, efialtes pulled a medical kit out of his coat and disinfects it.
Nah, its fine,I have some of my own. Sorry for sneaking up on you, I was afraid you'd kill me, since I am human and all.
he got up and frowned.
what are you doing so close to kai-sung Territory? what if they found you and attacked you?
---------------
Leeta was in the forest by tamaki village. she had been training a bit using her claws to cut the leaves off of tree's, a little bit later she jumpsoff a branch at some leaves hanging on another tree.
I AM A MORON! I AM A MORON! I AM A-*thud*
She hit the ground,Hard. shegets up about 5 minutes later and decides its times to head back.
she walks back into the village several minutes later..
I wonder what I can help with..
She walks over to a random important looking inhuman guy.
Any I can help again kai-sung?

Looking down at the female inhuman he responds
Prepare for battle.
Then he walks away.

" Hnn... "
THe boy grunted softly, eyelids clenched tight. Something unbearable was shining down on his face. " Who the heck is up at this ungodly hour...? " He growled to himself. His body moved uncomfortably to shield himself from the light shining in on his face from his spot on the hollow floor of the gigantic tree. He wasn't getting up this early. Unless if he forgot something...?
" Get up, you moron. It's not an ungodly hour, it's 9."
Zer0 muttered, and wiped his eyes. "Huh?" The sleep wasn't completely out yet. His hearing was muffled. Or, maybe because that was becaue he had an ear under his arm, and a wing. " I said, get UP."
The boy felt a sharp pang inside his chest, and he groaned. He HATED when his counterpart did that. Not only painful, but he was SURE it shortened his life.
"Knock it off. I'm tired."
"Don't you remember something you have to do, you bumbling fool?"
Zer0 rubbed his head, and cautiously sat up, as not to bump his head on the low ceiling. THere was something he had to do...but what was it...? His eye trailed around the room, searching for his answer, when he noticed splatters of a dark liquid on the ground, leading to a large hole in the ground. He smirked, and chuckled, his fingers rubbing dirt off his skin. " I almost forgot. That little troublemaker's down there, isn't he? Hnhnhnhn....~"
The boy got on his hands and knees, and began to crawl on the dusty floor, to the entrance of the dark tunnel on the ground. " Hello, down there~ Goodmorning sunshine~" He giggled, lips curving into a grin, his lower left eyelid twitching in excitement." How's your arm?"
A sound was herd in the tunnel, and there was a growl.
" The good news, is, my fingerstubs stopped bleeding. The bad news is, this wasn't a dream. I'd like to go home now!"
" Of course, Tony. He had long overstayed his visit. Two days is enough in this forest. He didn't take any of the warnings! Hmhmhmhmhmhmhm~ What part should I take off today? His arms?...Nah, I'm in the mood for ribs...How unlucky for him~ Lalala~"
The teenager hummed happily as he crawled along to the foot of his bed, where a dull stone blade rested. A perfect cutting knife, although it was used roughly to cut flesh.
" Ohh, I need to sharpen this soon... Ok well. Breakfast first~"
" Ah, jeez. I'm never gettin' out of this creephole again, am I?"
"Nope! I let ya go last time, and and I didn't get to eat that week. You're staying~." He squealed in delight, as he scooted back over to the tunnel, sticking his head in.
" Peekaboo~"
" Ah jeez, not agai-."
Poor Tony the abused didn't get another word out of his mouth, as whas ensued, was screaming that could be heard within a 5 mile radius.
" Ah. You're a sorprano~ I didn't know that! I should've recorded this! Heheheheheha~"
-
" How am I still alive after that?"
Zer0 propped himself up on his elbows to see his captive, who was glaring intensley at him. " Becase I took a RIGHT rib? Tch." He shrugged, and laid back down. It was rather nice outside now. Not too cold, not too hot. The sun was a little bright though, but his tree-home had a nice shade. So, all was fine.
" Stop doing that."
"Doing what?"
" That's my RIB you're chewing on. What do you THINK I want you to do?"
Zer0 cocked his head at the man on the wood, raised table he laid on. He smirked, and took the bone out of his mouth. " What, do you want some?"
"Raw? I prefer not."
"I could cook it."
" What kind of sau-We're talking about my RIBS here! Not some Pork rack!" The teenaged boy raised his eyebrow. " I dunno, you look like a Pork to me."(Tony stuck his tongue out here.) He chuckled, and stood up, tosssing the stained bone aside. He scratched his face, leaving a trail of blood over his left eye. Irritated, it started to bleed a bit. " You must've been told to try new things! So, why not now? You're gonna die anyway~ Heheheheh~"
A sharp pang went off in his chest. " Remember, Zer0. Patrol."
The inhuman pouted, and tossed his knife aside. " Aww..." He looked over to Tony. " Stay here, and be a good pork, okay?"
" Well, I don't have anywhere ELSE to go. Yup! Not like I was going to Kai Sung or anything for a meeting. Nope! I'd MUCH rather stay here and talk with my 17 year old murderer."
" Good~ Now, we can' have you yelling, okay?" The teenager, oblivious to the sarcasm, broke of a large branch from his tree. He sliced it up,until he had large, but medium-thin wood stoppers. He walked over to his captive, and jammed them deep into his mouth, when he suddenly started laughing. " Hehehehhahahah! Hey, Tony. I think I'm going to take your intestines out when I get back. I'll let you tell me where to hang them."
Do I LOOK like a home redecorator for the morbid, you moron?.
Zer0 spread his wings, and pushed off, taking to the air with a few powerful strokes of his wings. Once at his preferred altitude, he stopped actually flying, but glided instead, steering with this body. Had to make sure no one was in his forest.
" See anything 02?"
"Not yet. Just trees."
-
Hamon gave up on his new creation. He grabbed a hold of his staff and called two minions to his side.
I need some air. Come with me.
He walked with a skeleton and a zombie, both holding swords. The two may not talk, but at least they followed orders accurately. Hamon gets outside and adjusts to the light. He was working non stop most of the night before getting some sleep.
I wonder when this attack is going to be. I'm running low on flesh and bone.
-
In the village of Kai Sung, loud bangs could still be heard from a courner of a vilalge, the small figure there was finishing the axe from before as she takes a good look of it
"....mmmm...Yup, just like asked"
She picks it up with ease and starts to prepare it well, making the handle and designs on it, then polishing it
"There we go, first time i saw a weapon like this, but looks good, i guess my blacksmithing skills are good as allways"
she smiles and places it on the courner of the room on a weapon stand, then sighs
"Allright... everything is done for the day... i guess i can rest up now, maybe a walk.."
She goes to the room, gets her clothes together and puts them on, a while robe, a red sash and then puts harnesses arround, as well as gloves, then gets her daggers and places them on the harnesses. She turns to the forge and puts it out making a large black cloud of smoke come out of the chimney of the house, then turns to the door, goes out and locks the door, as she stretches and starts walking.

(lol this post is gonna be petty but hey.)
I walk through the streets of the city, the loud atmosphere and uncomfortable space. A boy is crying in an alley and I walk up to him.
Me-What's wrong?
The boy looks up and me.
Boy-I've lost my mommy *sniffle*
I pick up the boy.
Me-let's find her then.
I walk into the street and a worried woman is looking around. She notices me and screams.
Lady-that man stole my child!
I look at her in confusion. A few guards rushed through the crowd and grabbed my wrist.
Guard-you're coming with us.
I let go of the kid and shake off the guard, I start running through the crowd. Why does this always happen to me, is it cause I'm different, is it because I was born in Kai Sung? I wonder how they would treat me, from what I've heard they're evil plotting people.

Gm post @ Cortex
As the necromancer walks, several horse drawn carts trot up to him. one of the drivers, a guard hops down and says
These carts are a gift from the high ups, their full of corpses of Kai Sung warriors and such that you will need for the full moon ceremony, you shall make as many soldiers as you can.
Then the guards ride past him and place the carts in his cave and ride away.
Raithen and Kyra
The fire poppled as charred scales fell into it, using her dagger Kyra had speared all three fish. Carefully pulling them out, the tossed one to Rioku and then handed a fish to Raithen, who speared it onto a stick he had pulled from the fire. The fish were quickly devoured and then Raithenfilled his fur canteen up with water, and put out the fire with it. Then he took Kyra's canteen and filled both of theirs up. Once the fire was out, they both stood and Rioku landed on Raithen's shoulder, they set a quick pace, within a moment they were at the village. Raithen ducked into the shadows, staying unseen, yet Kyra greeted most of the villagers by name.
Raithen, come out of the shadows.
He sighed, then pulled her into the shadows,
Better.
Yeah, haha!
They quickly neared a large stone building that was the village blacksmithery, Raithen quietly snuck into the place un-noticed with Kyra. They both ducked into a corner and Raithen said aloud to alert the black smith of his presence,
I need you to sharpen my sword.
He quickly and coolly slid his blade onto the counter.

Tyler
I draped the cloak over my shoulders and pulled on the hood, I put on old boots and inspected myself in the mirror. I looked like any common villager. When I was satisfied with my appearence I exited the mansion and quickly sped down to the poorer suburbs. After making sure I wasn't being followed I started to walk casually, I can hardly see anything through this hood. I pass by the Blacksmith owned by someone I can't quite remember the name of. I notice a girl walking infront of me, while I walked I stubbed my toes on a stone.
me-Yeeow!
I clamp my mouth with my hand.
-
Alyx looks back hearing a sound of a cat and sees a person with white hair, then looks arround and doesnt see a cat at all, she thinks to herself
"Did he just.... no... he doesn't have ears or a tail...even so..."
she turns to him with a smile as she looks up at him, she was smaller than anyone in the village
"Did you just meowed?"
-
oh no come on,
me-No I yeowed.
My foot throbbed lightly.
me-Ummm, hi
At least my cloak is covering my armour or I would've been a dead give away.
-
she looks at him and goes arround him once
"mmm....."
she stops in front of him and smiles
"you a traveler? in need of weapons or repair of weapons and armor?"
-
Whew she doesn't know who I am.
me-Uhh I'm uhh-
Think Think!
me-I'm... I'm... I'm a traveling juggler.
Yeah that should work, a traveling juggler, wait, I don't know how to juggle. *mental face palm*
-
Alyx grins looking at him
" A juggler?... you know, i may be small but im older than you, so im not that stupid"
she looks at him and points to his hip and says in a lower tone
" A juggler doesn't goes arround with a sword like that, you may tell me the truth and i will sharpen your sword for free while doing that, sounds good?"
she winks to him
-
After several hours of walking on the roads. Vixon and Siren come across an escort of it looks like some prisoner going to be executed.
Vixon: I wonder if he is soldier from the Takima. Eh he doesn't look like it...Probably just some murderer or a thief.
Passing by the escort and making way into the village. Not really noticing if anyone was in need of help from a healer.
Siren: We might have to wait for a bit to see if anyone needs any help. From you or me.
Vixon: Yea we could always talk to a guard or something to see if they know anything.
About that time a guard walks past them heading to his post.
Vixon: Excuse me Guard...Would you happen to know if anyone needs any services provided as in Healing or labor?
(Wasn't sure if you allowed us to control the guards or not. So I thought to let you post it.)
-
me-Fine.
Wow, I really need to work on my disguises.
me-Lets go in before I tell you anything.
If anyone leaks this to my parents I'm in trouble. I pull on my hood.
-
A blacksmith picks up Raithens blade and walks into a back room with it. Their was a sound of banging, and then he returned with Raithens blade freshly sharpened. Picking it up, Raithen sheathed it, then walks out with Kyra behind him.
-
I could see that he had a small cut on his arm, but the boy seemed to be able to properly care for it himself, so I put the thought aside.
Oh cool, you wont kill me.
I shook my head at this.
No, of course not. I'm not one for killing-although i can fight to defend myself. I'm a healer, for pity's sake.
I watched as the cat scampered over to the boy, climbing on his shoulder. The boy continued to disinfect the cut.
Sorry for sneaking up on you, I was afraid you'd kill me, since I am human and all.
I smiled at the boy, shaking my head.
Oh, don't worry about that, little one. I heard you coming. I'm just not quite as suspicious of humans as my sister.
I noticed the boy looking at me, frowning.
After a minute or two, I looked around, and decided there was no point continuing to keep watch. There was obviously nothing wrong at the moment. I dropped quickly from the tree, and started moving back through the forest towards Artemis. I could feel that she was curious about something. It'd be best to see what exactly it was that had caught her attention. I was there after only a few moments, coming into the small, open area and seeing a little boy in a white cloak talking with Artemis. A human boy.
what are you doing so close to kai-sung Territory? what if they found you and attacked you?
We're here to help. But if they did attack, they'd find they'd have quite a fight on their hands.
I saw Artemis look up as I spoke.
Oh, Ayara, you're back! How'd it go? Is everything all right?
I moved quickly to Artemis' side, watching the boy carefully.
Same as usual. Some idiotic human tried to fire at me again. Although, there was actually one who tried to apologize for the guard. Here.
I tossed the parchment to her, and she quickly skimmed through it.
Oh, how polite!
Polite my ass. Now...
I looked back over at the boy, making no move to attack or to hide my dislike of him.
Why is there a human here? Is it another passerby who decided they wanted to come and show their disgust of us?
-
Alyx smiles and leads him back to her workshop and home, she unlocks the door and opens it letting him enter as well
"Dont mind the mess, i was working until a while ago"
she smiles as the workshop was a mess, blades and armors everywhere, some cooling down others to finish
"So, start spilling it, who are you and why are you here?"
she smiles as she sits on a chair and pointed at another chair for him to sit
-
I sigh.
me-To be honest I can't believe you don't know who I am, I am Tyler Leore from the wealthy Leore family and what I'm doing here, well I was having a nice walk.
I take off my cloak to show the armour with the red crest.
me-If you tell this to anyone... Who am I kidding you're gonna tell everyone like everyone else.
I study the girl.
me-Well the real question is, who are you miss get in everyones business.

GN post @ nightshase
In a flash the guards blade was drawn and ready
Who're ya and where ya from?
-
Why is there a human here? Is it another passerby who decided they wanted to come and show their disgust of us?
Efialtes facepalmed.
No, no I'm not, thats actually something I do not understand, the hate between inhumans and humans. first of all,I'm a medic in training, and I'm never going to finish my training. second of all I come in after the battles and try and help BOTH sides.
The kitten on his shoulder jumped off and went over to ayara.
Mew?
Efialtes then smiled.
Well, I'm happy that you guys can defend yourselves if the kai-sung see you as enemy's. now uh, I saw you were practicing some medical things, uh, think you could teach me somethings? My mentor is kinda uh, dead..
-----------------------------------------------------
Prepare for battle.
Leeta facepalmed.
You don't say? I was wondering if they're was a special area I needed to go to.
she walked out of the village back into the forest to get back to training...
Seriously dude, I knew to prepare for battle..
She sets up some branches in the form of a person, and then starts training using her claws on it..

The guard catches the inhuman by the shoulder,
No, I mean be ready by tonight, report to me once you are, this is going to be bloody child.

Vixon: Woah, woah woah. Hey man I have no quarrel with you. It was just a simple question. I am Vixon from the Terroin family. We was not very wealthy but we made due with what we had.
And this is Siren from the Loxeson family the famous Pendant healers. Also we where both born and raised in Kai Sung territory. I am a Warrior of the army.
Siren: Please sir. We are just looking for work to get some food.
As she is looking up at him with puppy dog eyes. Hoping to break him and he will lower his blade.
Guard: Alright...Alright...I am quite busy at the moment but I heard something about the stable master at the other edge of town was asking for a volunteer for something. That's all
I have time for. I have to get to my post before I am late...
Siren: Thank you.
Siren being a healer never really liked it when someone fought against Vixon just because it could mean he would get hurt.
Vixon: Alright Siren lets go see if he is willing to pay or just looking for free labor....
-
She giggles as she looks at him
"Well looks like you dont know me as i didnt knew you, we are in equal footing"
she looks at him with a smile
"Name's Alyx, i come from a lineage of great blacksmiths, not that you notice since your all class and fancy things"
she points to the wall where there was a picture of her mother and father, her father being a famous blacksmith
"and do not worry, i wont tell anyone unless you hand me your sword so i can take a good look at it and sharpen it"
-
This remark kind of put me on edge, I didn't feel comfortable handing my sword over to someone I met however her threat scares me even more.
me-Don't break or take it.
I reluctantly unsheath the sword and hand it over. The familiar weight on my hip gone and a little self protection lost.
-
Raithen looks around the street suspiciously, Kyra sighs
Raithen, you'be got to quit suspecting everyone of something.
Raithen shook his head, his hand tapping lightly against his thigh, then said
Better safe than sorry.
As they walk Raithen spots a cloaked man, the man hurts his foot and yows. A woman turns around and they talk for a moment then the woman leads the man into q building. Raithen quietly follows from the shadows and recognizes the man from a noble family when he pulls off his hood. The woman then takes his sword and inspects it, Raithen decides to watch this just to be sure l, and he was dragging Kyra and Rioku with him.
-
" Dammit... No new playthings huh? Oh well. I hope Tony's still in the mood to be disemboweled. Maybe I'll string them close to the town. Drop them right in the middle of the city..."
Zer0 rubbed his shoulder, and sighed. He had been flying on and off for an hour and a half. Still nothing, still no one. So that meant, no captives. He'd have to make what he had last.
Now that he thought about it, wasn't there another body under his bed? He'd make it... HOwever, he still had to get his dull blade sharpened, not to mention that he was out of thread. He'd have to change the stitches soon. Where would he go this time? Takima? or Kai Sung?
Takima. It was closer, and easier to get to. If they didn't have it, he could easily just fly to Kai Sung. Although, his last visit didn't end well...
"Hey! Tony! I'm back! I hope you were gentle~"
Tony groaned. Why? I can't even move, considering that my ARMS AND RIBS ARE MESSED UP! he yelled in his head. Zer0 grinned, and tilted his head to the side, cracking his neck like one would knuckles, and then cracked it in the opposide direction. " I'm gonna go sharpen my knife and get some supplies, okay? I'm out of thread, and I'm just sickened by the idea of not changing them out within a week."
And you aren't sickened with eating MY DAMNED RIBS!?
" I won't be long! Just another hour, at most~ Stay warm. And, also, avoid the bees." The teenager giggled, pointing upward with his toes as he crawled into his home. " Ya see, those things are nasty. If ya freak out..Well...I'll leave that up to you to find out." A wide grin formed across his face, as his hands went under the bed, and brushed against a corpse, dried and salted.
" Here you are, you ninny. THe jacket. Keep youself concealed, or you'll get caught again."
" Kehahahahaha~" Zer0 ran a finger over the black cloth he just found. It was a cloak, capale of concealing most of him. All he cared about, was the scars. If they couldn't be seen, then that was good. He'd leave his wings exposed.
" Bye Tony!"
Hey wait! You never removed the- Oh, never mind.
-
Alyx takes the sword and takes a good look at it
"mmm.... its been used alot...and never been reinforced... your lucky i saw this before it break..."
she stands up and goes to the forge, turning it on again, since it wasnt turned off for long, it was still hot, 5 minutes later she takes it off as the blade was red hot
"and now to reinforce it..."
she places it on a molding table and gets some liquid metal. she pours some over the sword and spreads it along it, then takes the sword to another table, and starts bangging on it with a hammer, after a while she smiles and places it on water, making alot of vapor come out, then takes it off as it cooled looking at it
"I am that good"
she starts polishing the sword well and sharpening it a bit, she tested the sharpness agaisnt a piece of leather, which was cut in half like butter, she smirks and goes back to him holding the sword back to him
"Here you go, weights almost the same, has 1 more milimeter of wide and it will go on for alot of duels without being needed to sharpen.
she smiles proud of her work, his sword was shining even more than before
-
While the black smith worked on the sword, Raithen had slipped into the store dragging Kyra with him. As she held up the sword he decided to introduce himself. With Kyra safely behind him, Rioku bristling, ready for attack on his shoulder, and his hand resting on his blades pommel he said
Hello.
-
I look at the blade. I take it and she was right it did feel the same in weight.
me-Thanks... I guess... Someone's self confident I see.
A wierd twang in my body feels like I'm being watched. (He is very aware of his surroundings, he does this every day)
?-Hello.
I swing around to see 2 people and a bird.
me-Who are you?
This man feels and looks like he has had a dirty history, better be wary of him. I grip the handle of my sword.
-
Alyx looks at the newcomers and smiles
"wow, more customers? must be my lucky day"
she smiles as she goes to them
"Hi ya im Alyx, the blacksmith in town, may i help you three?"
-
To say that Zer0s quest for the black thread went according to plan, would be a blatant lie.
He trudged onward, through the forest he called home, to Takima. He was very quick about moving, but refused to go by air. He'd get shot down.
He tilted his neck, feeling the bones in his neck rubbing together. " Keheh~"
He was gonna have to be careful though. As his wings were still extended outward, He could easily be identified as an Inhuman. The last tme, he was chased out. So, he decided to stay low, on the edges of the forest, trying to conceal himself as he approached the gates.
-
I slip on my cloak.
me-I think I'd better go.
I shoot a look at the man who came in, I then look at the girl behind him, I tip my head in saying hello. I knew who she was.
me-If you'd excuse me.
-
Raithen stepped in the young man's way, he unsheathed his sword and handed it to Alyx
will you please sharpen this, and as for you, no need to leave on my behalf.
-
The man steps in my way.
me-I have no need for attracting any unwanted attention.
I sheath my sword.
me-I have no reason to stay either.
I motion for him to move out of the way.
-
Raithen laughed,
Oh yes, I forgot you need to get back to your guards and servants, typical noble.
-
me-And that disrespect, typical beggar.
I rest my hand on the pommel of my sword.
me-You will show respect where it is due commoner.
I turn round to Alyx.
me-Thank you for your services.
-
Finally reaching the other side of the village we both see a building with a horse shoe hanging on the outside of the door.
Vixon: Well this must be the place. I just hope it isn't something impossible to do..
Siren: I am sure we will be fine in whatever he needs to do.
Walking up to the door, and knocking a few times. *Knock knock knock*
Vixon: Hello.....Is anyone here.....We are looking for the stable master that was requiring assistance from someone.
A few moments later you could hear someone walking around inside.
Vixon: HELLO!! I can hear you inside there is everything ok?
Stable master: No not really.
In a feint voice.
Quickly going inside we could see the man slowly walking back and forth holding his chest breathing rather hard. Apparently one of his horses wasn't tame yet and kicked him in his ribs.
Vixon: Wow you don't look too great man. We came here to earn some money for food..
Siren going over to the man to inspect him to see what was wrong. Lifting up his shirt you could see the imprint of the horse and an enormous bruise.
Siren: Please if you will let me I need to check to see if you have any broken ribs. And to see if your life is in danger of them poking into your breathing capabilities.
Reaching into her little pack that she keeps herbs in she finds what she was looking for.
Siren: Here chew on this it will help the pain go away.
Pressing against his ribs they mostly seemed firm except for one. Looking at it and feeling closely she could tell it was fractured but not broken.
Siren: Well good news is they aren't broken and I wont have to cut you open. Bad news is one is fractured and might take a while to heal it.
Vixon: Well since you are doing that what was the task needed to be done.
Stable master: Well mainly I need help around my stable cleaning and such my apprentice left one day and has yet to come back and I am getting to old to do it alone...
Vixon: If you can give us a little money for the help of healing you and helping in the stable it would be greatly appreciated.
Setting his sword and shield down and undoing his armor in order to do the work better. Never was too fond of taking his armor off since it left him exposed and it being a rather rare armor and weaponry.
Vixon: Alright Siren while you heal him I will go into the stable and try to clean it up a bit. Sir when you are well enough please come too and tell me what all needs to be done would be appreciated.
The stable master nods as the pain is still there.
-
Typical noble, thinking he's better than me because he has more money
Kyra knew she should step in, Raithen absolutely hated nobles. Nobles were who killed his parents, Kyra took a step forward between Raithen and the noble.
Please excuse my friend
Raithens face softened for a second, then snapped back to being impassive. He grabbed his sword from where he had layer it for Alyx, and shoved it into its sheath.
Take your hand off your sword, I know I can beat you in a duel.
-
Siren
Siren's pendant started to glow bright as she started to heal him.
The stable master as Siren is healing him can't get over the fact this little kid is a healer. And to top it off she has cat ears and a tail...
Stable master: Um why on earth do you have ears and a tail?
Siren: Well that is a good question hehe...They aren't real. I actually got them from the tailor in this village. Someone had poisoned his water one day I am guessing dispute over business. I happen to come along that day and was able to nullify the poison and he didn't have much but I noticed these and asked for them.
Stable master: Another thing why would you hang around such a brute for I thought most healers didn't like violence?
Siren just blushes a little but doesn't say anything...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vixon
Going back outside and around to the back of the building he comes up to the stables.
Vixon: Now that I think about it this is the first time I have been to this place. Never thought about getting a horse for my travels....would be nice.
Going inside he could see where the guy left off cleaning with a shovel of the horses droppings...And started cleaning each one of the stalls till there wasn't any left.
Vixon: Well this is a dirty job but it will at least make me stronger for doing it.
Continuing to clean the stalls and brush the horses etc etc.
-
Suddently Alyx appears between the two guys and smiles
"allright allright, no fighting in my store and near it, thats rule number one"
she then takes Raithens sword from its shealth and smiles
"Second, i hate to see dull blades, its painfull"
she starts to walk to the forge
"And third, sit your asses down and stay quiet, or i will make you sit down the hard way"
-
As he sat down Raithen whispered in the nobles ear
Ask your parents about the Vallor head of security from seventeen years ago.
Then he leaned against a wall and said
Alyx would you smooth the handle too?
-
Alyx would you smooth the handle too?
She looks back and smiles
"Sure, and it will be free because you did as i said"
she smiles with a evil smile as she turns to keep fixing is blade
-
Kyra sat down beside Raithen and reached into the bag he keppt on his waist. She quickly pulled out a handful of gold and silver coins and placed them on the counter.
That's for stopping Raithen from fighting.
Raithen mumbles under his breath,
It wouldn't have been a fight, I would have killed him, first strike.
-
That's for stopping Raithen from fighting.
Alyx smiles and looks at the girl
"My pleasure "
It wouldn't have been a fight, I would have killed him, first strike.
Alyx gives a evil smile to him again
"Do remember that im the one with your sword in hands, maybe i will put spikes on the handle so you can't handle it if you continue to whine"
turns to the forge again and keeps heating up the sword
-
Raithen scowled, then said,
Then i'll sabotage your forge Alyx.
He then blew a black bang out of his eye, and leaned back against the wall, tuning out the world like he had come acustomed too.
-
Then i'll sabotage your forge Alyx.
Alyx as she heard it she starts to laugh hard then looks at him almost crying of laughing so much
"I would actualy like to see you try kid"
she keeps laughing as she bangs on his sword, to temper it.
-
For one I could just say you were questionable of what side your on and this place would be torn apart.
Kyra interrupts
Raithen, shut your mouth.
Fine.
-
For one I could just say you were questionable of what side your on and this place would be torn apart.
She smiles as she keeps going
" My side is to the ones that pay for me to make weapons, i don't care about politics, and even so, if you threatned me to do that, you would be on the floor allready"
she smiles then sighs
"Kids these days dont respect others that are older"
-
Raithen glares,
Your two years older than me.
Kyra butted in
Technically, she's still older though.
-
Your two years older than me.
Technically, she's still older though.
She smiles as she starts to sharpen the sword
"be lucky that you ahve Kyra with you, she keeps you in line"
soon after she starts to polish the sword as it was finished
-
I'd probably be dead if Kyra wasn't around, I'm don't go a day with out appreciating it.
At this Kyra blushed, and turned her head from Raithen. He always loved how he could do that her, with simply locking eyes, saying something, or skin contact, her cheeks would turn red. He smiled and stood up, sticking his hand out for his sword,
Raithen's just being modest, he'd be alive.
Raithen ignored her and waited for his blade.
-
I'd probably be dead if Kyra wasn't around, I'm don't go a day with out appreciating it.
Raithen's just being modest, he'd be alive.
Alyx hands him his blade like new and goes to Kyra leaning to her ear whispering
"Girl, why dont you be honest with him? he is realy dense and you are not being honest with him at all, if this continues you wont have him for your boyfriend ever"
giggles and goes back to the counter getting the money and putting it away
"From now on be more carefull with this sword, its not a tool for you swing arround like a kid"
-
Gm post @ Cortex
As the necromancer walks, several horse drawn carts trot up to him. one of the drivers, a guard hops down and says
These carts are a gift from the high ups, their full of corpses of Kai Sung warriors and such that you will need for the full moon ceremony, you shall make as many soldiers as you can.
Then the guards ride past him and place the carts in his cave and ride away.
(Let's say some time has passed for this.)
Hamon was hard at work, having his minions lay out the whole bodies, and setting aside the spare parts.
What a gift, more work to do. As if I didn't get enough sleep last night. You there, be careful with that!
The bodies were finally in place. Hamon raises his staff and the eyes glow red. The mark on his forehead begins to emit a purple glow.
Animas post, clamorem meum. Relinquo impetu ad sarcinulas et ridere speciem vitae.
A red beam came from the staff, bringing the corpses back to life, and angry as ever.
I command you all, go outside, hide in the earth, and wait for my call.
The corpses did as they were told.
(Couldn't get a long one in, but I think this is very good.)
-
Kyra blushes deep red and Raithen takes his sword sheathing it he said
I don't swing it like a toy, that's the first tune up it's had in four years, also what did yo tell Kyra?
Kyra leaps to her feet and shouts,
Nothing she told me nothing!
Raithen walks over to Alyx and says,
seriously what did you tell her?
-
seriously what did you tell her?
Alyx giggles and looks at him
"you wish you knew dont you? you dense kid"
giggles as she goes back to the forge to put it out
"when you get some brains you will see more than just fighting"
-
Raithen bangs his head into a wall,
Someone please tell me what she means!
Kyra was cowering in a corner and her face looked like volcanoe just exploded.
-
Someone please tell me what she means!
she giggles as she looks at him
"Wow, im surprised, a kid like you should have his hormones jumping like crazy, i can't belive you are traveling with a girl for so long that you dont notice anything"
she giggles and looks at Kyra
"Give him some time, he will understand someday"
-
Understand what?!
Raithen looks at Kyra whos face is still, red
Are you sick, ironic the healer needs ealing, seriously though, you alright?
Raithen then looks at Alyx,
I swear if your craziness and ability to not make any sense rubbed off on her your dead!
-
Are you sick, ironic the healer needs ealing, seriously though, you alright?
I swear if your craziness and ability to not make any sense rubbed off on her your dead!
Alyx keeps giggling
"She is blushing because i saw right through what she is feeling, and she keeps blushing because she understands what i said, unlike you"
she keeps giggling as she looks at them
"Tell you what Kyra, if he doesn't get it at all for a time, you can come live with me, i will treat you the way you deserve"
she giggles, now she was hardcore teasing Raithen
-
FM post @ Cortex
A warrior approaches
Initiate the plan now.
Then he walks away.
Raithen
What feeling?
Raithen shakes his head, clearly confused and shouts
Dammit if someone doesn't start making sense soon, i'm going to throw my self off a watch tower!
-
Dammit if someone doesn't start making sense soon, i'm going to throw my self off a watch tower!
she smiles and goes to Kyra, hugging her gently from behind
"Think, why do you think Kyra here follows you wherever you go? she could stay in a village and treat people but she chosses to go with you, why is that?"
she smiles looking at him over Kyra's shoulder
-
Time to go to work.
Hamon steps outside and raises his staff. He slams it onto the ground, calling all the undead he made for the attack. The ones meant to stay behind did.
Move out, to Kai Shung. We will reach there by nightfall.
He takes a seat in one of the carriages left before, and it is attached to a couple of large flesh hounds. The army is in front, the carriage is in the middle, and the rest are in the back. A mix of skeletons, zombies, flesh hounds, and flesh titans, all on target for the wet city.
Soon.
-
Because she's my best friend!
At the word friend, Kyra flinched. How she despised that word,
What are you trying to say Alyx?
-
Because she's my best friend!
Alyx feels Kyra's flinching, she noticed the reason right away
What are you trying to say Alyx?
she looks at him but this time with a serious face
"You are such an idiot... you say she is your best friend but you can be so blind to ignore what she feels."
she gently pets Kyra's arm gently to calm her down
"You didnt felt it, but i did, she flinched when you said the word friend, because she hates that word when you say it to mention her, get it now?"
-
Wait so she doesn't want to be friends with me?
Raithen glares at Kyra
Some best friend you are!
Kyra flinched again, but this time from what Raithen was saying.
-
Wait so she doesn't want to be friends with me?
Some best friend you are!
Alyx looks at him with angry look then looks at Kyra with a caring look
"Sweety, you can stay with me for the time being, if he is that dumb then he doesnt deserve you..."
-
Kyra careful brushes Alyx's hand aside, then leaps to her feet and slaps Raithen across the jaw, and has her hand collides with his cheek she catches a flash of his eyes and sees the truth.
You just don't get it!
With a red imprint pn his cheek Raithen, the boy who never cried, dissapeared from the shop, with tears glistening in his eyes, and Kyra collapsed on the ground sobbing.
-
After watching this pointless escapade I finally decided to speak up.
me-He probably won't get another chance.
I put on my cloak and turn to the girls.
me-Well I'd better get going, Alyx, Miss Cilone have a nice day.
I walk out of the building.
-
Kyra pulled her self together enough to wave and voice to know one in particular
He views himself as some type of monster, if he lets me in he thinks I will get hurt. Damn that stubborn, considerate asshole, can't he see I really don't care if I get hurt!
-
Tyler
I pull up my hood and walk into the crowd, quickly disapearing from sight. I should probably go home now, todays actions have been very risky and could cause some commotion in my family. I start to walk back the way I came. As I approached the mansion the guard stops me.
Guard-Halt, who goes there?
I pull off the hood and the guard's face lightens.
Guard-Good afternoon Mr Leore.
He steps aside and I walk in.
____________________________________________________________________________
Jayter
I slipped into an alley and the guards passed by. I sighed heavily and waited for a few minutes, better get back to my master. I peered out of the alley and the guards were gone.
me-Haha, they'll never catch me.
Two pairs of arms grab me from behind.
?-Don't be too sure.
I turned round to see the two guards from before who obviously found another entrance to the alley.
me-Come now, can't we be reasonal.
They were all ready leading me to the dungeon.
-
ALyx goes to Kyra and kneels down in front of her and gently pets her hair
"cry all you need sweety....we will go look for him later... allright?"
she gives a caring look to Kyra, wanting her to stop crying
-
Tyler
I walk into my room and I retrieve my satchel, I reach in and I take out a bag, the bag makes a jingling sound. I spill several coins into my hand. I call one of my servants.
Me-take these to Alyx the blacksmith.
The little scared servant scampers out the building. I walk out of my room and into the office, I open a cabinet that held records of nearly every family and it's history.
Me-hmm Vallor, here we go.
I pull out a few pieces of paper. ( K Blades GM now.)
___________________________________________________________
Jayter
Ha, the guards think they have me? I beg to differ, two daggers slide down from my sleeve into my hand. Before they know what hit them they were both lying on the floor groaning.
Me-You won't die, hopefully.
I run off in the direction of my masters house, when the building comes into view I decrease in speed. I walk through the door and my master was reading.
Me-am I glad to see you.
He looks up with tears in his eyes.
Master-I'm sorry.
Five guards came through the doors and they surrounded me. A look of shock befell my face as the guards seized my arms and legs. They carried me off, the last thing I saw was a guard paying my master.
-
The inhuman stayed close to thr ground, never once flying higher than his height off the ground. He had finally arrived close enough to be able to see the town, and he had been there for around 5 minutes.
Zer0 sighed. He had been waiting for a while in the forest, and so far, no one in Takima had reacted. He put his hands on his hips, and walked forward, maing sure the shadow of his hood made it hard to see his face. Glaring at the guards, as if challinging them to not let him through, he spoke up, using a low, unrecognizable tone.
" I am here to buy supplies. Let me through."
He had to try hard, and resist the urge th threaten them. The challenging tone would be enough.
Or not. He smirked, waiting for the guards, and another young one that was there to let him pass. He'd have fun tearing them limb from limb if they didn't.
" Kssssss~"

GM post @ Lubbies
The documents tell the story of Warren and Silene Vallor, personal body guards of Mr. Leore and Mrs. Leore. It reads,
In the valley by the river on the day March sixteenth, their was an attempt on the lifes of Mr and Mrs. Leore, as the arrow flew at the fore head of Mr. Leore, he was shoved out of the way by Warren Vallor, personnel body guard of them. Warren was killed instantly, and Silene went dent down buying both Mr. and Mrs. Leore time to get away.
-
Tyler
I put the documents back into the cabinet and close it. This man blames me for what his parents decided to do, this must be set straight. I pull on the cloak and like a fox I creep back into the village making sure I'm not being followed. This Raithen probably resides in the out skirts of the village so I should check there first. I walk with pace and in a few minutes I was in the slum district.
me-This makes me sick.
There were drunk men and stealing kids. The people were snappy and protective and cared nothing about their hygiene.
?-Hey you there mishter give ush all your moneyz.
I turn around to see a gang of drunk men with knives. No one can walk these streets without being held up can they.
me-I have no time for your petty crimes.
?-Petty, PETTY, We'll show you petty crimesh.
The men charge at me swing wildly with their knives, I sidestep the first man and trip him. The second and third men attacked at the same time and I disarmed one of them, caught his dagger and sliced the other down. There were 7 more men and my plan wasn't to defeat them all but to leave an impression, not even I can beat so many. They all advanced together.
-
As Raithen walks away, he sees a cloaked figure fighting a bunch of men with knives, Rioku launched off his shoulders, gouging one of the mens eyes out and killing him. With a swift step, Raithen was beside the cloaked figure, sword drawn,
Need a hand?
-
Alyx looks at Myka and guides her to sit on a chair, then crouches in front of her with a worried look
"Its ok Myka... im here for you... you know you can count on me for anything..."
she keeps looking at her hoping to make Myka better
-
The made I recognized as Raithen steps beside me.
Raithen-Need a hand?
Me-Maybe, maybe not.
I throw the dagger at one of the men and it plunges into his heart. I unsheath my sword just in time to parry a dagger stab. I swing my sword and the thug tries to block but my sword slices straight through his dagger and I slash his chest.
Me-Alyx's work isn't too bad.
I take off my hood, it's nearly impossible to fight with it on.
-
Gm post
The men turn and run, fearing for their lives.
Raithen
As the men run away Raithen whips around to face the noble,
What are you doing in the bad part of the village Mr. Noble?
Raithen question, venom and sarcasm dripping from his voice.
KyraK
yra wipes her eyes and looks around,
Raithen thinks that he is some type of monster, damn him, he's going to die if he keeps being so stubborn and pushing me away!
-
(lol Lubbies ;D)
Me-I've come to settle matters between us, you blame my family for your families decisions.
I sheath my sword.
Me-Oh and by the way, you left your girlfriend a wreck.
I take out a medium sized bag of coins.
Me-This is long overdue but this is for your parents' patriotism.
-
Raithen takes the coins and puts them in the pouch on his waist,
Look I hold no grudge against you, just your parents, and not even money will change that. What's your name anyway? Also she's not my girlfriend, she's my girl friend, their's a difference.
-
me-Tyler, Tyler Leone, you're obviously oblivious to the fact that your "girl friend" has feelings as well.
I pull on my hood.
me-It seems that my job here is done.
I start off, relieved to be leaving this hole.
-
Raithen growled,
Then he stormed off to the training area were the four guards were posted, and whipped out his sword, slashing at a tree. With each slash he questioned, why did that black smith bring all this up? Why does Kyra hate me? Why does everyone keep talking about feelings, and why the hell does everyone keep saying that he is oblivious to Kyra's feeling, and calling her his girlfriend?
-
As the undead horde reached the city, Hamon took a look out the window. The moon was out, and his mark glowed even brighter.
Full moon. This will be too easy.
He climbed on top of his carriage, and raised his staff.
With the power of the moon, this spell alone will increase the power of my army. Sanguine Furore!(Blood rage)
By sacrificing some of his life force, the entire army got an increase in strength.
Now my minions, lay waste to this city. Attack in the name of Takima!
The horde went straight for the walls and the gates. Any guards that would see this would have time to alert before the army reached the walls.
-
Alyx nods to her and caresses her cheek gently
"How about you be more honest? say what you want to say to him, word for word, with his head he only understands direct things, say that you dont mind being with him, that he isn't a monster, that you love him and you had so for a long time, which is why you went with him.
looks at her smiling
-
As I walked through the slums my nose caught a wiff of rot. This is way worse than the unhygienic people, this is way, way worse. I choked at the smell.
me-Who died?
I regained composure and turned round to the gate. My speed increased dramatically, my smaller size giving me light, quick footsteps.
-
GM post @ everyone
A guard in a watch tower begins firing arrows and bellow where everyone would here
Undead from Takima approach, ready yourselves!
Raithen
Raithen instantly spins around hearing the bellow and tells the four guards beside him
Come to the stables with me, we need horses!
The guards nodded and they all quickly ran to the stables which weren't far from the training area. Ignoring everyone else in the stables Each guard grabs and saddles a horse, and Raithen grabs a pitch black stallion. Quickly saddling it he drew his sword and shouted
To the gates!
His stallion reared on his hind legs and began to sprint towards the gates, Raithen steered with the reins and the guards drew long pikes behind him.
Spearhead formation, i'll lead!
The guards nodded and they quickly formed up in position with Raithen in front.
Kyra
Did you hear that?
Kyra questioned Alyx
-
The army reaches the gates and walls, and start to smash away at the doors. Hamon watches, when some arrows manage to take down a few of his minions.
Recreo!(Resurrect)
The minions that fell came back up, and joined in the fray.
Archers, fire at will!
The skeletal archers raised their bows and fired arrows at the guards in the towers. Hamon couldn't help but laugh at all the carnage. The gates were destroyed, and the undead began to flood that part of the streets.
-
Alyx had noticed the sounds for a while but didnt wanted to alert Kyra much, she stands up and goes to the door
"Just as i thought, we are under siege... Kyra you stay here, i will make sure Raithen stays alive, allright? you are a healer and will be realy important if our guards get hurt...trust me... i will keep him safe"
she smiles as she opens the door and closes it after she gets out
"I guess i have to fight... been a while but i never lose my touch"
Alyx rushes to the gates realy fast and appears next to Raithen with a grin
"Am i late for the party? and she is safe i told her to stay at my workshop"
she quickly takes out her daggers, one from her back and the other from her waist, holding them backhanded
-
The draping cloak slowed me down so I ripped it off and it slowly fell, I saw the gates ahead fall and a small pack of guards on horses. I stop in my tracks, I think I'm being reckless here, what ever is behind that gate is not very pretty. I ponder the thought for a minute. I decide on what to do, I run into the stable, I throw a bag of money on the floor and take a horse. The mare is a white pure bred horse.
me-Yha!
The horse kicks into gear and thunders to the gates.
-
Raithen
Raithen sore under his breath as he slammed his sword into a zombie,
Were's Kyra?!
GM post
As the undead pored through the gates waves of warriors, healers, and blacksmiths, ran to confront them, they reached each other, and a loud roar wa heard as the two sides clashed.
-
Alyx sighs and looks at him
"if your not gonna listen, FIGHT"
she runs to a couple of zombies and hits both with both her daggers, sticking her daggers, each on each head of the zombies, making them fall down as she takes them out and continues with the same strategy to another two, cleaning her side, not letting one pass through her to prevent a flanking assault.
-
I slowed my horse down as we reached the fray, I unsheathed my sword. I slashed at a skeleton and lopped off its arm. The skeleton picks it up and reattatches it.
me-Seriously?!
I jump off the horse, the skeleton readies its bow and fires, I lift my sword and the arrow skewwers to either side of me. I lop off the skeletons head and catch it. I throw it far away.
me-Go fetch.
The body fumbles around and I kick it to the floor, I stomp it and the bones break and fracture.
-
GM post
Their was a large crack heard as the west gate shattered and Takima warriors poured in.
Kyra
Kyra nods at Alyx as she leaves, after several moments a large Takima guard burst through the door of the blacksmith. Instictively Kyra reaches for her dagger, but the guard pins her to the wall before she could do anything.
Now what she would we do with this little girly?
The warrior said in a husky voice, and Kyra shrieked a iercing shriek.
Raithen
Raithen catches the shriek above the battle, and a single word escapes his lips
Kyra.
Then he was gone, his spear hed formation and the lowered pikes plowing through a mass of Takima warrriors, Skeletons, and zombies. His sword is just a blur of Silver as he smashes a skeletons into pieces, and then a zombie in the face. Raithen swears, his blood racing
Hold on Kyra. i'm coming.
-
Alyx hears aas well, she noticed it was a mistake to let Kyra stay in her workshop but sees Raithen heading there and looks at the guards
"Hold on this side, hit the zombies on the head, and dismantle the skeletons"
she starts running back to her workshop, just in case Raithen needed help, killing zombies and dismantling skeletons as she goes through them
-
From behind me a small pack of soldiers wearing the Leore crest approach.
Men-Your parents gave us strict orders to bring you back.
I grit my teeth and turn around.
me-Well you can tell my parents TO SHUT UP!
The men were shocked by my out break.
Man-But-
I shoot him a glare and he backs down.
man-Yes sir.
I hear a piercing scream, that of Miss Cilone. I slam into a zombie and slice its head off.
-
Raithen Rides into a skeleton, letting his horse destroy it. Then he leaps of the stallion when he was by the Blacksmithery, he hears a gurgle and sees one of the guards on the horse falll with an arrow in his throat. Raithen barged into the blacksmithery and sees the warrior holding Kyra, the sights enrages hims causing his blood to boild, and as the mans face gets closer and closer to Kyra's she struggles but he is iveitably stronger. Just before his face reachs hers, Raithen ripped the man away,
Who do you think you are interupting me and my girly friend?
The guard said, then swung his double edged battle axe at Raithen, ducking the blow Raithens sword went up in a flash, you heard a muffled cry and then the man collaped on the floor, a large gash in his throat. Raithen gently picked Kyra u off the grtound and cradled her agianst his chest while shooshing her. As she calms down, he releases her and stands up, He quickly strips off his vest with the padded shoulder, and then the fingerless elbow gloves that he uses to hold Rioku, last bu not least he takes the pouch off his belt and hands it to Kyra.
What is all this?
Raithen looks her dead in the eye,
The things you'll need to take care of yourself anf Rioku, since I won't be around to do it
And why won't you?
Because I'm not going to make it out of this battle alive.
At this Kyra's heart stopped, her blood ran cold, and her mouth went dry.
-
Alyx gets to the door after fighting her way to it and smiles looking at them
"The Hero arrives"
she looks at them and sighs, then goes to Raithen and punches him hard
" Do you have a small ammount of heart? your allready telling her your going to die when that wont happen...sorry Kyra but if you dont say it, i will...."
she goes to him with a mad look
"She loves you, you morron, she hates the word friend because wants to be more than friends with you, she blushes when you touch her because she likes you tounching her, and now she froze because you just said you were going to die in this battle in a realy straight forward way, you have no heart , all you are is a morron, i can't see what she sees in you but the truth is that she loves you, now you wont leave my workshop at all and stay here protecting her, i will handle things outside, GOT IT?"
she turns to the door and opens it, then slams it shut.
-
Raithen visibly stiffened, but said
Kyra, we'll talk later.
Then he waved Rioku off his shoulder and he landd beside Kyra,
Put the equipment on Kyra, your coming with me.
Kyra still couldn't find her voice, but she stood sliping on his vest and gloves. He grabbed her hand and lead her out side to his black stallion, then he shouted
Alyx, their's a spare horse, come with me.
GM post @ WTP
A high up looking man emerges from the shadows and looks at the inhuman with wings,
Zer0, known for his ability to painfully remove organs and keep themm alive, the general wants to know if you'd like to join Takima as an iteroagtioner, their will be alot of prisoners after this battle?
The man smiled short and to the point.
-
As I continued to fight my armour was breached many times and blood streamed down my arm, there was a cut on my fore head. My arm ached with every swing of my sword and I felt my body was near about to collapse. The enemy kept forcing its way through the village and I was slowly being forced back.
me-Come get some.
A skeleton fired an arrow and it embedded itself in my upper arm. I let out a grunt of pain and my vision blurred, time to go. I turned round and ran, my movements were slurred and I ran like a drunk. Eventually when I was quite far my body could no longer keep conciousness and I passed out.
-
Hounds, titans, get in there and thin out their ranks!
The flesh creatures ran in, the hounds reaching first, ripping apart anyone that dared get in their way. The titans soon followed, and dispersed in different directions, kicking guards here and there to send them flying. Hamon joined in the fight as well, and noticed some of the dead bodies, and was surrounded in a protective way by his minions.
Recreo!
He revived the dead guards on the ground into more minions, and they started to help fight against Tai Shung.
Let's see them handle this with me in the fray.
-
GM ost for Lubbies
The Leore family guards following from a distance icked up the boy and crried him back to the Leore family home where he was immediately treated.
-
" Zer0, known for his ability to painfully remove organs and keep them alive, the general wants to know if you'd like to join Takima as an nterrogator. There will be alot of prisoners after this battle "
Zer0 grinned, and he stepped forward into the light, removing his hood. " Was my disguise so easy to see through? Ksss~"
He looked the man over as he spoke, and his grin turned into a wide smirk. " I also specialize in sutures and stitches. Although, I'm not so famous for that. I didn't know accounts of my murders got here. THey're usually quiet."
The eye on his chest, still hidden, growled. " Well, what's in it for us?"
Zer0 shushed him, tilting his head, and giggling. " I'd happily join. Sounds like a free meal. Let's walk and talk, though. I've got something in need of eating at home."
-
Gm post @ WTP
The man nods and motioned o=for him to follow, then he quickly lead him to a large castle like structure, leading him inside they entered a dungeon with three live prisoner,two males and one female.
Do with them as you wish, are treat.
Then the man walked out.
Raithen
Quick as a flash, Raithen slipped a note into Kyra's hand, kissed her on the lips, and jumped onto the black stallion and rode away before any one could react. Tears began to roll down Kyra's cheek as she read the letter,
Dear Kyra,
I'm sorry I had to lie to you,
but you would have never let me go,
know that I love you and always have, good bye forever,
Love Raithen.
SHe carefully folded the letter and placed it into the pack with the rest of his stuff that he had given her.
-
Alyx looks at him and goes inside quickly, coming out with the big axe she made early today on one hand only, like it was a dagger
"Then i have to bring heavy weaponry"
she jumps to the horse and stays ready with the large axe on her right hand and holding to the horse with her left hand
-
Kyra
Kyra shakes her head,
their is no use going with him read this.
She hands Alyx the note.
-
Jayter
I sat in my cell sobbing, the only one who I trusted had betrayed me. There was some commotion about some attack but I didn't here any details.
Me-why, why did he do it.
I wipe away my tears.
______________________________________
Tyler
I woke with a start, there was a healer standing over me. My arm was bandaged and my cuts were stitched. I pull myself up. My mother was sitting in a chair next to me.
Mother-what are you doing, you must rest.
Me-I need to help everyone.
I stand up, ignoring my mothers complaints. I put on my damaged armour and buckle my sword to my belt. My mothers protests got loaded and just before I left my father stormed from outside, in full battle armour with the Leore crest.
Me-Move.
Father-You're staying here.
I slip past him and I run as fast as possible, my wounds ached but I kept on.
-
Alyx takes the note
"whats this?"
looks at the note
-
Kyra
It's Raithen's good bye.
Raithen
It killed him to ride away, and he felt like his heart was being ripped out of his chest, but he continued on. After a moment he ran into a group of undead dog looking things, he quickly got off of the stallion and drew his blade. The first and biggest growled and leaped, Raithens outstretched blade dispatched of it quickly, he looked up expecting to see the last, but instead he saw air. He whipped around and felt long fangs dig into his leg, swinging with his blade he cleaved the hell hound who bit him in half, then turned to the last blood pouring from his wound, this was going to be fun.
-
Zer0 could barely contain his excitement as he walked into the room, and the man left. Three toys, all for him! He could do whatever he wanted! Oh, joy!
His lips spread into a smile as he removed the rest of the cloak, and he shrugged his shoulders, then stretched them out. " Kehehehe. We're going to play a game. You like games?" He looked around, to see their responses, at both his appearance, and his question.
The female uttered a soft cry, and she cowered behind the youngest. A healer, by the looks of it. He was wiping the last tears off his face. How cute. The oldest, standing at 5'6", glared at the taller Inhuman, and stood at attention, to intimidate him. He was burly, so obviously a warrior. And, the young woman must've been a blacksmith apprentice. But, she looked very timid. So much more fun.
"Here's the game. In my pocket, I have a cootie catcher! You, the players, are going to pick numbers, until I get to your ' fortune,' You follow?"
The oldest man scowled. " Don't toy with us. We'll fight you to the last. You won't even survive in here with us. I'll snap your neck."
Zer0 frowned. " Aww, don't be too sure of yourself. Let me finish the rules. Your 'fortune' determines what organ I get to take. If you're unlucky enough to get a blank space, you get to eat one of those organs of my choice. Or even better~ I'll open you up like a pig, and force you to choke your roomies here with what guts you have~ Isn't that beautiful?"
He giggled, and the taller man pushed him back. " You sicko."
02 growled. " Your point IS?" Zer0 revealed a disturbing grin, twisting his head to the side again. " The best part is, we can keep playing and playing until you die of bloodloss. Or, until i get new toys! Kehehehehe~ Any questions?"
-
Well well well, what do we have here. A hero that believes he can.
Hamon was watching the boy fight off his flesh hounds.
He has more than a handful, I better not interfere. I have bigger things in mind.
He walks smugly towards the main building of the city, where the leaders should be hiding out. he lead a pack of assorted minions with him, keeping him safe as they caused guards to disperse and fight alone.
I grow tired of this, by the time I reach the building, I will barely have a fighting force.
He raised his staff above, and shouted out a simple spell to dispatch any guard nearby.
Trahant Vitam!
He absorbed the life out of any fighting guards, causing them to drop dead on the ground. Their corpses were empty, as Hamon absorbed whatever life energy they had left.
Pity, i would have had a great time having them join me.
The path to the main building was clear.
(Blades, your character is out of range of the spell)
-
Me-I do have one, why.
I stand up.
Me-take me, leave the others.
I've left all hope, there's nothing left for me to hang on to.
-
Raithen quickly dispatches the last hound with a blow to the head, then he limps back onto the stallion. Looking around he spotted a man with a symbol on his ofre head approaching the capital building
Halt!
Raithen charged towards the man on his stallion.
-
" Why? Because I can. The feel of another's life force on you is amazing. Blood, organs...It's the most amazing thing to feel. Plus, I've been appointed to do as I please with you guys. You can thank the general for that~"
He grinned madly. " So, you're the first contestant? Give this man a round of applause! What's your name?"
THe Warrior scowled, but stepped back. If he wanted to go first, it was his choice. Maybe he could come up with an escape method later.
" Now, pick one. 1, 2, 3, or 4~"
His sutured tongue ran across the stiching in his mouth, and he held out his hands, with the cootie catcher extended out.
-
She looks at Kyra and gives the note back
"I promised you that i would protect him didnt i? then trust me sweety, i will bring him back intact"
she smiles and starts to gallop after Raithen
-
He heard the word halt! He turned around to see a man riding on a stallion towards him.
Trahant vitam!
He absorbed the life out of the horse causing it to fall over.
No one tells me to halt. especially on a night like this. I worked too hard to get my revenge, and I will not allow anyone to take it away from me. You four, take care of that whelp. The rest, follow me.
Four skeletons waited for the man to make a move, two archers, a swordsman, and one carrying a hammer. Hamon continued on. He was nearing the capitol building.
-
Jayter
Me-five.
______________
Tyler
I noticed Raithen and another man but this man had the feeling of evil and death, he looked like he could clearly beat Raithen. I decide to but in.
Me-Who are you, you demon.
-
Hamon was getting tired of these interuptions.
Titan, deal with that one for me. Make sure he stops talking.
Hamon was at the peak of his power now, the moon was giving him more strength. he was saving a special moment for everyone in the capitol building. He wasn't going to waste it on a couple of foot soldiers.
-
Me-You can't kill a noble without getting sued you know.
I run at the bigger undead... Thing. The smell of death burning my nose. My eyes water.
-
Raithen scowled, and limped away from the horse. Taking the scarf he wore around his neck off, he quickly wrapped it around his wound to stem the blood flow, then he glanced around until he found a regal looking shield with a hawk on it, fitting the Vallor family crest, limping over he grabbed it and placed it in his left hand with his sword in his right. He charged placing the shield in front of his face, the archer fired, one arrow bounded off the shield, but the other went into his injured knee. He dropped, then begrdugingly pulled the arrow out and snapped it.
That stung.
Then he ran the best he could and destroyed both archr with one swing, the swords man raised his sword to strike, and Raithen blocked with the shield, when he went too strike it down though he felt something slam into his back, and he fell on th ground struggling to breath. Both the skeletons raised their sword or hammer for the finishing blow. With the last of his strength he swung his blade in a circle lopping both skletons legs completely off and destroying them. He struggled to his feet and through blurry eyes saw Tyler about to rngage a mammoth figure,
Tyler go after the necromancer, i'll stall this thing!
Then he tiredly charged.
-
Alyx finnaly reaches Raithen after fighting her way through the army and gets off the horse going to him
"Finnaly caught up with you, i made a promise so you only move when your sure to hit and evade him, i want to take you back to Kyra alive, not death"
smiles to him as she gets ready with the large double bladed axe on her hand
-
Zer0 frowned. " Now, don't be such a baby, and pick a damn number. Or i'll take you apart myself, no mercy,, you nameless piece of dirt."
He glared at the boy, then pulled back his Cootie Catcher, and looked in it. " Hmm. I'll pick four for you. Get a straight answer next time."
He moved his hand, opening and closing the toy four times.
"6, 7, 10, or 11?"
-
The titan brought its leg back, kicking the weakened soldier, the bringing to forward to silence the noble.
Hamon was at the gate for the building.
Charge!
His horde broke down this simple gate, and burst through the doors to start a massacre, but Hamon ordered them to stop.
Leave them alive. If anyone decides to b brave, rip out their hearts!
He walks inside to meet a shocked leader. Hamon takes a bow as it was customary to do.
Your highness, I'm glad to finally meet you.
-
Raithen
(Aqua, I think your post needs to be a sentence or two longer. ;) )
Damn you, ever heard of a dramatic exit?
He was smiling none the less, then his smile vanished suddenly
Alyx, if your here who's with Kyra, she can't fight at all?
He whistled shrilly, the signal for, Rioku to come. Then he turned to Alyx,
Can you take care of that thing?
He pointed at the behemoth thing.
GM post @ Cortex
Daylin Hakima, leader of Kai Sung stood,
what do you want, necromancer?
He said in a level voice.
(Fun fact, Hakima is wisdom in Swahli, I think.)
Kyra
Rioku tugs insisently on Kyra's shoulder, and she politely asked a soldier if she could borrow a horse. He nodded and got off the horse, then went running into battle. She hopped on the chest nut mare, and they took off following Rioku who had taken too the air. After dodging several battles, she arrived where Raithen was, and was instantly off the horse. She handed him his stuff back and said
Your not dying on me, so take your stuff.
He seemed to smile, then he clipped on his side pouch, gloves, and vest. Rioku landed on his shoulder, and Kyra told him to sit down so she could heal him.
-
((sorry about that, this one fits the rules^^))
Alyx, if your here who's with Kyra, she can't fight at all?
Alyx turns to him and smiles
"Rioku is with her, and now you will be too and wont leave her side, got it? your not dying today or anytime soon"
Can you take care of that thing?
she looked at the big thing and nods
"The worse enemy of a big guy is a small person, so im perfect to beat its ass"
She gets her large axe ready and looked at it with a serious face
"What are you waiting for? Move your ass to her"
-
Very simple. I want your daughter.
His minions are standing guard for him as he awaits for the girl.
Don't refuse, I don't think you have a choice in the matter.
A few more minions walk in and surround the room, all readying their arrows at the leader.
Accept, and I'll call them off. Don't, and I'll make you and that throne a permanent pair.
-
Jayter
I ponder 6, 7 10 or 11?
Me-I know what I'll choose, seven million-four thousand and twenty three... And a half.
I smiled, I'll probably die but at least I'll piss someone off before I die. I could've played this game and try to survive a bit longer but no, I've nothing to live for. Let this thing torture me, I don't care.
Me-Do want you want, I'm not playing your stupid games you monster.
-
Leeta
Leeta walked back into town after a bit and noticed that a lot of people were missing.
Hmm...I wonder where everyone is, its like there is a battle going o-OH SH...I FORGOT TO REPORT IN! THEY WILL KILL ME!
She runs out of the village as fast as cat infused legs can go...not sure how fast that is but its fast enough. it took her about as long as the battle has been going on, but she's there.
I am a Idiot...
She then see's:ZOMBIES.
...I see dead people...
She walks over to a random inhuman and asks him.
Are the dead things on our side?
-
Gm post @ Cortex
Daylin sighed, he had no choice, he sent his daughter out to the man and told her he loved her.
Raithen and Kyra
Kyra waved at Alyx, showing she was their, and was shocked when Raithen wrapped his hands around her waist and placed his lips on her. She slowly wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed back. After what seem like an eternity, they broke apart,
Now will people quit nagging me, I admitted my feelings and quit ignoring Kyra's
Raithen said breathlessly and Kyra just stuttered hopelessly with a blush on her face, Raithen wrapped his arm around hershoulder and fo the first time in a while he smiled.
Gm post @ Meowth
The inhuman glared then responded
Yes, now leave!
-
Hamon takes his prize.
Keep him on your sights, he makes a move, skewer him. Don't leave till I call you.
He gets outside to a waiting titan, who grabs the girl for Hamon. She was struggling for a bit, but the titan proved too strong.
Start heading out. If they see you with that girl, they will not bother attacking. I'll meet you back at home.
The titan ran off, heading back home.
@Blades
(Doing that thing you asked me to do in PO)
The titan grabbed the boy from his beloved, dna slammed his leg down to send a large blast of wind to knock everyone back. The other titans in the city also grabbed a living person, and ran off. The boy was taken prisoner
(Hamon again)
Time to get out of here.
He walked away with a group of minions. All he had to do was lead an attack, his work was finally done. He made his way out of the city. The other undead stayed behind to aid Takima in the seige.
-
Kyra
Kyra's grin instantly vanished and she was slammed onto the ground, She leaped to her feet, but all she saw was Raithens gloves lying on the ground with Rioku beside them.
Raithen
As he was ripped away he managed to yank his gloves off and throw them, then he commanded Rioku to Kyra, his stomach lurched with each step but regardless he attempted to draw his sword he failed.
Dammit!
He faded into unconsciousness as he was dragged away.
GM post @ everyone
A loud voice booms
Takima warriors burn down the city!
-
Alyx was tossed back with force since she was small and weight less than others, she gets up after a bit and sees Raithen getting taken by the titan, she sees Kyra and goes to her
"Stay here, im bringing him back, tend to the wounded"
Alyx dashes out of the town after the Titan that is holding Raithen, as she was with the axe over her shoulder, thinking to herself
"Dammit... im taking him back..."
she keeps running through the florest, allways with her eyes on the titan carrying him
-
Rioku begins to fly after Alyx, once had caught up he 'cawed' telling her to stop, then Raithen managed to scream in a raspy voice
Turn back, re-group and try again later. You'd just get yourself killed, turn Back!
THen unconsciousness claimed him again.
GM post @ nightshade
A takima warrior approached the stable and attepmted to catch it on fire.
-
Zer0 closed his eyes, and growled, tossing the paper toy aside.
" Well, ya little bastard. You crave death so much? And you don't wanna play my game..."
He giggled rather girlishly, and his body twitched as he moved forward. " Where to cut you open first? I know...I'll take chunks of flesh out of you, then your orgns. I'll save the heart for last. I'll even be extra nice, and feed you some of your own bloody flesh before I rip your heart out."
He turned quickly. " I think Ladies should go first, though. After all, I'd rather take away the living's will, then kill the willing. It's too bad you won't play my game... You could actually live after it. Ksss~."
-
Hamon made it out of the city as buildings were catching fire. He got into his carriage, which had a few arrows in it. He got inside and the hounds sped off to catch up with the titans, while other hounds followed suit. He noticed someone being clawed at by a hawk.
Deal with her.
The carriage sped off, and the other hounds stayed behind to deal with the assassin. Hamon made it to his home before all the titans. And decided to wait.
Soon, I will have my revenge.
-
Me-why does everyone run off when a bunch of zombies are gonna tear down the town?
I start to fight off the monsters, who runs off at a time like this? Oh well better do this now I guess. I look over to the remaining guards, a small squad of 5 guards from the Leore household arrive.
Me-Ok let's stop fumbling our feet and lets fend off these things!
The guards charge at the undead, we'll need more firepower than this.
________________________________________________________
Jayter
Me-of course, if I don't want to play you'll find someone who does, news flash, no one does.
I paced in my cell, there must be a way out. I see the keys but they are too far away. I need something that's long and hooky. I search around the room.

GM post @ Lubbies
A squad of ten mounted on stallions with pikes appear beside him,
Need assistance?
-
Alyx looks at the hounds coming her way and goes to them as she swinged her axe like a piece of paper to slam it again one of the hound's head, sending it flying to a nearby tree, another one comes and she sidesteps and cuts it in half horizontaly as another comes from behind and hits her hard on her back
"Dammit... let me GO"
She turns and swings her axe over her head, slaming it down on the hound's head, smashing it to pieces, then gets her dagger with her other hand to slam it in the last hound's head and slice it in half with her axe as she breathed hard as she had lost the pursuit
"Dammit....i will get you back...."
she starts walking back to the village slowly as she was tired
-
The titans reached the cave. All of the prisoners were out cold from the shaking they got. Hamon detached one of the hounds from the carriage and tied a note to it:
The attack was successful. They had no idea what hit them. Here is a gift from me.
Lead these titans to Takima and give the Guard that note. You titans, follow the hound. except for you.
He pointed to the one holding the princess.
Set her down and then disappear.
The hound led the caravan of titans to Takima, and the last one set the princess down and disappeared into the ground. Hamon ordered a couple skeletons to imprison her. He went into his cave and sat down on his throne.
Soon, I will have you back, my beloved.
He fell asleep in his throne.
-
Kyra
Rioku landed on Kyra, who had put the gloves on, arm and she gently stroked him.
Look like it's just you and me buddy, we'll save Raithen.
Rioku gave a caw of agreement that echoed around the village.
Raithen
Raithen awoke as he was slammed into the cell by a gurad, four people were around him and his hand strayed to hi sword, which wasn't there.
So this is the Takima cell a big let down really.
Gm post @ WTP
A guard approached and whispered into the inhuman interagtioners ear,
This boy needs a little convincing, but the boss has plans for him, so don't severely injure him.
Then the guard walked away and locked the cell door.
-
The guards scare me half to death.
Me-Where the hell... I don't care can you help on the front lines?
All soldiers nod at the same time.
Me-good, keep them back and let the archers do the rest.
They ride off to the battle.
Me-all men who can use a bow fall back and arm yourselves!
I mount my horse and ride into battle. The skeletons are my only problem, I need to get rid of them, I'll have to go one step at a time.
-
Zer0 grinned as he grabbed the arms of the poor woman. " Of course. Only the willing would. But you're too much of a sissy to put yourself at random. Keheheheheahahahah~"
He slammed his foot down on the woman, forcing her to sit down. He didn't mind that the youngest was walking around. There wasn't an escape. Not yet.
" Kehahahaaha, HAHAHAHA~"
He twitched, and he slammed his foot down into the woman's leg again. A loud snap was heard, and then he giggled. His foot firm on the broken leg, tugged on the arms as hard as he could, pulling them out of their sockets.
He tossed the woman aside, jumped, and landed square on her chest.
He sighed, as the guard came in and spoke quietly in his ear.
"This boy needs a little convincing, but the boss has plans for him, so don't severely injure him."
" Fine...Maybe some flaying."
Back at Zer0's home, Tony finally managed to roll himself over on the ground, and had bee laying there for arounf an hour. He was lucky ants hadn't crawled into his wounds.
-
As Vixon finished cleaning the stables he starts hearing screaming very very close. An unknown man came to the outside of the stable and start setting parts on fire. As he left to set the house part on fire Vixon creeps up to the door and see it is Takima soldier...
Vixon: What the....What are Takima soldiers doing here.
Being unarmed and no armor he has no choice but to sit and wait for a moment. About that time Siren creeps out the back door which his sword in hand.
Siren: I thought you might need this.
Vixon: Yea I do but I am kind of rather exposed at the moment. Oh what the hell.
Seeing an opening of when the soldier turns his back to the stables to walk off..
Vixon quickly charges at the soldier and without armor on not much noise is made. He sticks his sword out to impale the closest one in the neck instantly making him drop to the ground holding his neck.
Vixon: Alright lets go see how we can help.
Charging into town with Siren close behind he comes up to the center of the village on one side is a army of undead....On the other side is an army of the takima...
Vixon: What in the hell is going on?
Siren: Ugh we are under attack?
Look backing at her with an annoyed look....
Vixon: Yea I can see that.
Sword drawn and shield in other hand Vixon gestures for Siren to stay close. Fighting his way through to a group of guards in dire need of help. Slashing through the skulls of the skeletons and zombies. (Who are which facing towards the guards so its rather easy to kill them) Almost getting to the guards seeing one of them getting shot with an arrow in his stomach...
Vixon: Siren! Tend to this man please! I will make sure nothing touches you! I know you hate all this fighting but please try to save his life it is your duty as a healer!
Siren nods and kneels next to the man breaking off the arrow to make it easier to work with. Moments later she has the arrow out safely and bandaged him up.
Vixon in all the fighting notices a gigantic ugly undead walk through kicking anything in its path see it was holding something and shortly after a very small girl running after it.
Vixon: What was that?
Working his way through the mob slashing down skeleton after skeleton he eventually makes it to the edge to where a girl is standing there with a hawk. Finally breaking free of the mobs. I am able to make my way over to her..
Vixon: Aren't you a bit small to be outside in all this?
Thinking for a moment.....""Siren is rather small too...""
Vixon: Never mind that why are you here alone?
-
Kyra
Kyra head whips around
I'm here alone because the one I loved was just ripped away by a giant titan!
tears roll down her cheeks and the hawk attempts to comfort her by pressing into her side.
Raithen
Raithen was on his feet in an instant,
Leave her alone!
He quickly lunged at the man.
-
After all this ordering my throat is getting sore. I see a man run and starts slashing at the undead, does he have a death wish? The pikemen are doing well at holding off the undead.
Me-ARCHERS ARE YOU READY?
As if in reply a volley of arrows fly over my heads and lands in the center of the undead army. A big hole in their ranks is made.
Me-a few more and we can push them back.
-
Alyx comes back to the village and looks arround at the devestation, she sighs and sees Kyra
I'm here alone because the one I loved was just ripped away by a giant titan!
Alyx goes to her and places her hand on Kyra's back
"I will get him back Kyra, i promise, cheer up okay? its not healthy for you to be sad...and your not alone, you have me and that hawn there"
she smiles to her with a worried look
-
Zer0 whipped around, and dodged, grinning. " Kehehehehe~" Still holding the girl by her arms, he tossed her against the wall, where another crunch, and a whimper of pain was heard.
" We have another one here, don't we? " He tilted his head, where the gaping eye cavity could bee seen, disgusting blood vessels and all. " You should wait your turn like everyone else."
He was quiet, and then he looked at the two. " Hehehe You two are pretty confident aren't you?"
He tilted his head to the side, cracked his neck, and grinned. " Let's see....I just love the confident ones~ So much fun to break. Maybe you'll play my game? Test your luck~ Or will I have to choose what I do to you? In that case, both of you will eat your own flesh before you die. Ksss~"
-
In the distance I see Alyx, Kyra and a person.
Me-EXCUSE ME BUT CAN YOU BREAK UP YOUR LITTLE CHAT SESSION, THIS ISN'T OVER YET!
What are they talking about anyway. There's a battle raging and they decide to talk. This is war not, there aren't tea breaks.
-
Kyra
Kyra forces a smile and Rioku 'coos' in happiness
Sometimes I think Raithen does these kinds of things on purpose
Then she smiles a real smile at Alyx,
Thanks for being a friend.
She turns to the two new comers,
What would your names be?
Raithen
Raithen smiled
I'd like to see you break me
He swung at the inhmans head.
Gm post @ everyone
The undead and Takima warriors retreat leaving the city and Daylins wise old voice booms
Report to me, we've got to have a council of war!
Kyra
Kyra sighs and walks to the room Daylins is in and sit in a chair that's around the large circular table where Daylin sats at the front.
-
When I got this message I was relieved. I quickly run to report to Daylin. Today has been full of emotional and physical challenges. Enter daylins room and I seat myself down.
Me-council of war huh?
Must be pretty serious.
-
Zer0 scowled.
" Well, now. Looks like you won't go down with a fight. I'll love tearing you apart. I'll turn you inside out. Wear your skin like a shirt~ Kehehehe!"
The warrior rose to his feet, now that someone was fighting back. He put himself in a position where he could fight if called on.
" Zer0, don't be a moron and get excited. You were given orders to not hurt them too bad."
THe eye on his chest rolled, in irritation at it's carrier.
" Shaddup 02~ Kyahahahaha!" He leapt back, and took up the woman as a human shield.
-
Vixon: Well this is Siren Loxeson from the famous Pendant healer family...And a very close person to me.
As he says that Siren blushes a bit.
Vixon: ..and well my name is....
Being interrupted by an announcement.
?: Report to me, we've got to have a council of war!
Vixon: My name is Vixon Terroin.
Seeing the little girl sigh. Vixon and Siren follow her into the chamber where the council will be held allowing Siren to sit down as he stands behind her.
-
Alyx smiles and looks at at Kyra
"My pleasure"
she smiles and follows her and stands beside her looking arround thinking to herself
"Now what...How can we get him back?..."
-
GN post @ kai sung
I believe this is everyone, so let's begin.
Every seat at the table was now filled with warriors, healers or blacksmiths.
Takima struck close to home, and in a more personnel matter, they stole my daughter and several other villagers. I propose we make a small squad to infiltrate Takima, and spy while we plan a major attack, question?
GM post @ Ayara and Meowth
Five Takima warriors, and one flesh Titan burst through the tree line, noticing the inhumans and the human, the flesh Titan charges jarring the earth with the Takima warrior right behind him, blades drawn.
Raithen
Raithen stops his fist inched before the woman's face,
Put her down.
-

Alyx looks at them and sighs
"The question is why are you saying th obvious and not formulating a plan? we should be allready getting a plan made so we get them quickly, they wont be expecting such a quick comeback"
she glares at him as she was mad enough
-
GM post
Daylin sighs
Their will be no retaliation strike this quickly as your wanting, we're in no condition to fight. Looking around you, half the villages is ashes and everyone here is half dead and wounded.
-
Their will be no retaliation strike this quickly as your wanting, we're in no condition to fight. Looking around you, half the villages is ashes and everyone here is half dead and wounded.
She sighs and looks at him slaming her fist on the table
"Wedont need a army for that, we only need our few of out best warriors to go, its easyer to get in and out with fewer people"
she looks at him
-
Vixon: If I might intervene for a moment here and make a suggestion. The first thing we need to do is a casualty report. Find out who is alive and still needs medical attention and save as many people as we can to try and keep our strength on defense and offense as strong as possible.
Siren just smiles.
Vixon: We have several healers around this village some quite famous for their abilities. After that then we should be able to formulate a retaliation plan. That is my thought on this matter.
Vixon: But also what she is saying it is very easy to sneak in with a few than it is with an army. But who all is good at that trade?
-
Zer0 grinned. " Don't think I will. Not only can I tear her apart while dodging, but you don't dare hit me while I'm using her. Kehehe~"
His fingers started to tear at her belly skin, as he moved away from his attackers.
" I'm gonna rip your intestines out and throw them on this guy~ How does that sound?"
The blacksmith apprentice squirmed, and began to cry.
Tony had managed to roll about a foot away from his captor's house before giving up, as he didn't want to get his wound dirty.
-
But also what she is saying it is very easy to sneak in with a few than it is with an army. But who all is good at that trade?
Alyx looks at him and stands up
"I am, which is why i was suggesting it"
she looks at everyone
" I may be a blacksmith, but in my family we are trained to be silent and efficient when we need to, and my height helps alot in that regard"
-
GM post @ Aqua
Faulkner consider their opinions
That's the idea I just proposed and I was about to name off the members before you so rudely interrupted. Now the recomended members that shall go are, Tyler Leore, Alyx,Vixon,Siren, Raithen Ballot and Kyra Colonel, please stand.
He said to Alyx, then turning he sent out a squad of healers
Give me a casualty report now.
Kyra
Kyra stood but mumbled,
Raithen find't make it out of the battle.
Daylin raised a hand to his ear
What my dear?
-
What my dear?
Alyx decides to answer for her, knowing she was not in the best of mind states
"What she meant is that Raithen was captured... which is one of the reasons why i want to go, because i promised Kyra i would keep him alive..."
she looks at kyra and places a hand on her shoulder to try calm her down and let her sit down
-
Vixon: Alright I will agree to this. There isn't much I can do here. Heck I am a warrior after all.
Siren nodded in agreement.
Siren: It is ok with me.......
(Mumbling under her breathe)As long as I am with Vixon.)
Looking down at her not sure what she said Vixon just smiles.
Vixon: Siren will come in handy on this if something bad would happen and also if the prisoners are hurt. She is the best healer I know.
-
kyra
Kyra looks at Faulkner as he says
So the loss of one man is going to stop you from going?
Kyra snapped at the comment
Raithen was out their fighting, unlike you who viewers and gave up his daughter to a powered crazed necromancer, Raithen went down trying to stop him from getting to you! Talk to me about one man after you're killed!
Raithen
Raithen slammed himself to the ground and did a sweep with his leg trying to trip the man
-
Zer0 does trip, and spreads his wings out, cushion his fall a bit. He wrapped his arm around her neck, to drag the blacksmith apprentice down with him. His fingers have torn of a lot of skin, and he digs his fingers into the exposed flesh. A smile crosses his face, and he starts to scoot back, to the door.
" Hmm. You're definitely a fighter. Oh, what I would give for some crocodile shears and a Pear of Anguish. That would certainly break you, AND violate you. Kehehe~"
He tilts his head, to look towards the other inmates. " Don't any of you DARE move, or he'll eat you alive," 02 mumbled.
-
Raithen leaped, his foot gave out suddenly from his wound and he fell face forward. Catching himself, he leaped back to his feet and pulled back his fist
Let her go!
-

Alyx looks at Faulkner with a mad look
"Did you do ANYTHING AT ALL to rescue them when they were leaving? for what i know i was the only one that went after the caravan after they retreated and after you gave away your daughter like she was exchangable coin. you to me are trash."
-
Zer0 frowned. " Why are you so willing to save her? Do you want to go first?" His saddened expression changed to one of glee. " I'd happily take you out. But, haven't you heard of the rule Ladies first?"
He began to rise to his feet, bringing the woman up and tossing her against the wall back first, where a series of crunches was heard. THis time, she didn't reply, and lay in her spot limply.
" Well, then. Time for a little fun, eh? My knife is dull, just to remind you." He tilted his head at the fist raised, ready to strike him, then grinned.
-
Regardless of what you think of me, we'be git a job to be done. Go grav your supplies and meet back here. And if your conquest to save the boy interfers with the mission, their will be severe percussions.
Kyra taps Altx on the shoulder,
If your going to go to the blacksmith shop could I come, i've got something I need to do.
Raithen
Raithen grimaced when the girl hit the walk, as the man raised his knife Raithen reached into his side pouch and pulled out two flint stones, one for each hand
Tonight you die!
Then Raithen raised a stone and swung at the man's head.
-

Alyx feels a tap on her shoulder from Kyra and looks at her
If your going to go to the blacksmith shop could I come, i've got something I need to do.
Alyx smiles and nods
"Of course sweety, come on then"
Alyx starts to walk off making sure Kyra was following
-
Kyra
I was wondering, could you help me make a weapon that even I could use well, please, Raithen needs my help.
She stares at Sludge with pleading eyes.
GM post @ Cortex
A messenger approaches the cave and enters, he cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted
The leader wishes to speak to you.
Then the messenger leaves.
-
Hamon, who felt like he had been violated, got mad enough to crush the skull of one of his minions. The skeleton was fumbling around for a bit.
Someone get him a new skull. I need to go. Make sure the princess is locked away, and fed. Go get her some fruit from the forest.
He went outside and into the carriage. The flesh hound sped off towards Takima, where a guard allowed him to enter. He got to the capitol and entered. Bowing to leader, he says:
You summoned me?
-
GM post @ Cortex
The leaders speaks with his back to Hamon,
What do you know about creating and training another necromancer Hamon?
-
Hamon stands up, he didn't like where this was going.
Personally, I sold my soul to obtain my powers, but most just learn a resurrection spell out of a book and acquire parts to build at least one minion. There isn't much knowledge of it I'm afraid, as it is seen as being a very, unethicle practice.
He wished he knew where this was going. If anything, he would be stuck with a brat who didn't know better and wanted to look powerful.
Unless you find someone willing to sell their soul, I'm afraid there is no way to "create" a necromancer.
-
Do you remember the boy you captured from the village? We believe with a little persuasion he could become a very powerful Necromancer, that is where you come in. Now let's hear about the mark, would the boy need one as well?
The leader ran his fingers together, awaiting answers.
-
The inhuman giggled madly. " Nonsense. I still haven't eaten yet, ad I refuse to die until I fix that!"
He almost dodged the stone, but, because it was thrown rather low, it hit him in the nose. He grinned as it bounced off, and kicked it aside, rubbing the fresh mark there. It was gleeding, and the wound on is nose opened uo in response.
" Oh great. I don't have my thread..."
He glared at the warrior. " Throw one more stone. I dare you."
Tony was being pecked at by a rather friendly, playful bird.
" Knock it off."
-
Hamon smirks a bit.
This is the mark of Siraset, the Lich King.If the boy offers his soul to him, then he would gain this mark. However, summoning Siraset is not too easy. Tonight is perfect, but you would have to act fast if you wish to make his a necromancer. I can prepare the ritual, but he must be the one to complete it.
Hamon took off his shirt to reveal a scar over where his heart is.
The boy must recite the incantation, then stab himself in the heart. He will be sent to Siraset's realm. If the boy fails, he will die.
-
GN post @ Cortex
The leader waves him away,
Prepare the ritual, the boy shall be ready.
Raithen
Raithen smiled an said
Fine I won't throw it.
He charged and swung his fist at the man's head, with the rocks edge sticking out.
-
I was wondering, could you help me make a weapon that even I could use well, please, Raithen needs my help.
She stares at Sludge with pleading eyes. as Alyx looked and her and nooded
"Of course, and i know just the weapon, pretty easy to make"
she smiles as they get to her workshop and she turns on the forge
"but i need you to help me, i need you to get some leather ready for me, and i will showyou how"
she smiles as she shows an example to Kyra
-
Kyra
Kyra smiles as they enter the workshop,
I need you to prepare some leather for me.
She smiles and does as Alyx showed her.
-
Hamon leaves for his cave again. With another swift ride, he was back home. He went to his dark alter, the same one where he did the ritual before.
Bring me a heart, now.
A minion brought over a human heart. Hamon cut it open, and placed his hand inside for some blood. With it, he drew runes all around the alter, then placed the heart in the center.
There, everything is ready.
-
I exit Daylins room. I've been chosen for some "secret strike force" or something. I decide to take a stroll since I have nothing better to do. I notice my old cloak that I discarded lying on the floor. I pick it up, wipe away some dust and put it on. There are tatters near the bottom but the whole thing is more or less in one piece. I remember my parents and how I defied them.
Me-I'm in so much trouble.
I decide to go to the training ground to let off some steam.
-
Alyx keeps working on her metal, making it thin and tempered, to ensure its toughness, as well as long, for larger reach, then gets it on a table and starts hammering it down carefully as she adds two tenis ball sized orbs of metal, as she ends she places it in water, letting it cool down, after a bit she takes it out and looks at it, inspecting it carefully
"Mmmm... looks good, are you done there Kyra?"
she looks back at her wondering if she was done.
-
The inhuman danced around a hbit, as he dodged the sharp stone being used as a knife. That thing hurt when it cut, he was very sure of that. They also caught fire.
" Settle down, and be a good tormentee, or I'll use her again..."
He grinned, and pointed at the once-limp woman, who was slowly starting to crawl, using her stomach and working leg. " You seem to have a thing for the innocent, so I'm sure you don't want her involved."
He then glared at the younger prisoner from before. " You there. Don't think that just because I'm occupied, that I won't come after you. You're next, and I think I'm going to stick to the idea of making you choke your inmates with your stomach. So stay put. You too, wou lughead."
The warrior growled, but backed down.
-
Kyra
Kyra smiles and hands Alyx the leather,
Yes, i'm done.
Raithen
Raithen tucked the stone back into his side bag, then picked up the other stone and did the same.
Sad, you've got to threaten someone else to get to me, what are you not afaid to torture me like you do them?
Raithen smiled at the young woman and said,
He won't touch you again, I promise.
Then Raithens head whipped around and he glared at the inhuman.
GM post @ WTP
A guard walks into the room,
The boss aid break the boy, fast!
Then he walked out.
-
Alyx goes to her and smiles looking at it
"Great job, thanks"
she smiles then starts putting the leather on the bar, making it to be handled at any lenght of the bar then starts designing it the leather, 5 minutes later she was done, she goes to Kyra and presents her with her weapon
"Here you go, its called a Daibo, its light, it has two balls on each tip to smash what you want, for example, bone or zombies heads, and its long so you can keep your distance and hit them."
she smilesproud of her work
-
Kyra
Kyra smiles an picks the DAibo up bi its leather handle, it was kinda like a forked whip with a steel ball on each end. She spins it above her head in a quick circle, then brought it sailing down onto the counter, causing a large dent to appear. She quickly flipped the length and steel balls around the leather and placed it on her side were her dagger use to be. She took the dagger and placed it in the small bag she carried on her that held simple medical items, She turned to Alyx and smiled
Thank you, it's perfect! Now you need to gather up all the supplies you'll need on the trip so we can report back.
-
After heading out of the council Vixon figures now would be a good time to find a blacksmith to give his weapon and armor a tune up. Make sure everything is still OK on it and not worn out.
Heading to the middle part of town or what is left of it..... Siren and him come up onto a blacksmith shop. Looking inside he could see it was the girl at the meeting in there.
Vixon: Well she did say she was a good blacksmith.
Siren: Too bad I don't know how to do all of that....Then we wouldn't need anyone's help. (With a sad look on her face of Vixon depending on another girl.)
Vixon notices how she is acting. Placing his hand on her head.
Vixon: Haha don't worry Siren I owe my life to you and no one else. (With a smile in to try and cheer her up a bit.)
C'mon now you don't want my armor or sword breaking mid fight do you?
Siren shakes her head.
Vixon: Alright then lets see if she will help us out a bit.
Walking up to the door and knocking on it. *knock knock knock*
Vixon: Hello there.. was wondering if we could acquire your services on my sword and armor.
-
Kyra
Kyra smiles and opens the door as she hears the knock,
Hey I recognize you, your going on the team with us right?
She moves away from the door to let them in.

As I sat in a local tavern in on of the smaller towns outlying Kai Sung, a few thugs began to sit around me; one to my left, two to my right, and a moment later at least one behind me. The one behind me put a hand on my shoulder, it was rough and callused from either many years working a farm, or many years of wielding a weapon, he massaged it for a second before he began to speak. "Your new in town aren't you?"
I brushed his hand from my shoulder then turned so I could face him, he was just as big and muscular as I had expected. He had a scar running the length of his face, perhaps twenty or so years old; then I took note of the ax he had on his back, quite large and clearly it had seen quite a few battles; the blade had numerous chips in it, but other then that it look as though it could still easily remove a limb with no effort. "Yes, but I am simply passing through; I should be on my way by morning."
"In that case I'm going to be nice to you, but you've still got to pay a toll." He seemed genuine in his message, but something was off in his voice.
"Very well, how much do I owe in order to pass though your town?"
"I like that book of yours, looks pretty valuable." And it was reviled, he wanted my book; the only material possession I had.
"I fear you are mistaken, this book is simply a journal that I keep as I travel from town to town. It's only value is in it's worth as kindling." He wasn't buying my story, he must have a necromancer in his family some where.
"I'm sorry buddy, but if you don't pay you don't live..."
"Very well." I stood up and walked towards the door, "It's best if we keep our quarling out of this establishment."
I left and waited for them to emerge, which they did very quickly. They quickly surrounded me and each drew their weapons in sync. For a brief moment we all stood still, just sizing each other up; then it was broken when one of them began to rush me from behind. Quickly I side stepped his clumsily attack, then opened the book in one motion. I quickly shifted through the pages until I found the one I wanted. I began to use it when I was forced to dodge yet another attack, this one landed, slicing my arm open, it wasn't bad enough to render is useless; but it caused a great deal of pain. Finally I managed to finish the spell "Tormented souls, I call you to this world again!" Knowing this one required an empty vessel to do correctly it wouldn't work perfectly, but the souls would be enraged and attack everything they could find; at least until they were driven out.
One of the thugs screamed and ran off trying to get away from my attack, the others stood their ground, but were still shaken by the screaming souls. Two of them started swinging their swords madly around, trying to stop the screaming, but it was to no avail, in their madness they drove their own weapons through their skulls. The ax wielder was on his knees clenching his head in his hands. I walked up to him then drove the spirits off "Your job here is done, go torment another person." I helped him to his feet then walked back towards the tavern.
Then the pain from my wound kicked in, I needed to be a little more careful from now on. I returned to the tavern and requested a healer, I dropped the amount it would cost to patch my arm up then ordered a stout drink; what a night...
-
GM post @ Fox
The tavern owner calls for a healer who sets to work on the mans arm, as he's being healed the owner passes him a drink then says
You hear what just happened in Kai Sung?
-
"No, but I have a feeling that you feel the need to inform me." I grab the glass that my drink is in and take a long drink, wonderfully delicious. "This is a wonderful beverage here, and your healers are quite skilled." As I finished speaking the healer finished their work, I inspected it; a very through job, I don't think this will scar at all.

GM post @ Fox
The owner nods,
Thank you, and word is Kai SUng was completely crushed by an undead army and the Takima forces, they said the necromancer was so powerful because it was a full moon and they get stronger then, but I wouldn't know.
-
Alyx sees Kyra using the Daibo and smiles
Thank you, it's perfect! Now you need to gather up all the supplies you'll need on the trip so we can report back.
"My pleasure sweety, it makes me proud that you use a weapon made from me"
suddently someone knocks at the door and enters
Hello there.. was wondering if we could acquire your services on my sword and armor.
Alyx looks at the door and smiles
Hey I recognize you, your going on the team with us right?
Alyx smiles and nods to both of them
"And yes he is, put your armor and weapons on the counter, i will get to you in a bit"
-
Looking down at the little girl as he walked in.
Vixon: Yea I was. Sorry I couldn't help out much in the fight.
Looking back at the other girl.
Vixon: I just mainly need a tune up on my armor to make sure the leather straps holding it together are still good for something like this. Also sharpen my sword a bit. It is a rather hard metal this sword is made out of. Me nor the blacksmith knew what kind it was but it has held strong for me so far.
Looking down at the sword.
Vixon: My life has been saved so many times because of how unique this sword is and by this little one beside me.
Smiling back at Siren. Taking off my armor and laying it on the counter for her to inspect it.
-
Kyra
Kyra smiles,
It's not your fault.
She pauses then continues
Their were alot of good warriors out their, you probably thought that they could handle it.
Kyra faced darkened as she said this,
Their were just some warrior that wre determined to die.

A necromancer defeating an entire army by himself...Perhaps he is the one I've been searching for all these years; maybe he can decipher this damn book! I slammed my hand into the counter startling the healer and owner. "I'd like to rent a room for the night. And," I put a few more coins in the counter, "there is a man outside in need of some medical assistance. I'd like to pay for his treatment."
-
Zer0 giggled at first, and stepped forward slowly. " Fast, they say. Break you, heheheh," He mumbled under his breath. His shoulders twitcheh.
He was getting a bit more forceful with each footstep. His head jerked towards the door, looking to see if there was a guard. " I could use some chains. THere aren't much materials for me here. Kehehe~"
He pivoted, and went straight for the rowdy prisoner. " Back up against the wall," THe eye on his chest commanded, monotoniously. " If you step away, no harm will come to the woman."
-
Raithen
Raithen slwoly back up against the wall
Their now don't touch her!
He spat through clenched teeth.
GM post @ fox
The owner nods, then takes the money, he waved at two workers and shouted
You prepare this gentle man a room, and you go see to the man outside!
-
Alyx smiles as she holds the armor and notices the problems right away on, putting it on the side, then gets the sword and smiles
"what you have here is Exometal, its a realy rare, it is a honor for me to work on such rare metal, do not worry, i know how to treat it"
she takes the sword to the forge and starts heating it, as she gets a kind of powder, putting it over the blade, and heats it more, then gets it to the table as it is bright red, and slams it with her hammer, puts some of the liquid metal over the blade as the liquid disapears into the blade, as she slams two more times her hammer and places it in water, giving a black smoke instead of vapor, thens takes it out and smiles, she gets her grinder and shapens it well as she takes it and puts it on the counter, the blade was now shining almost like a mirror, and its redish designs were even brighter.
"Now it will stay sharp for a realy long time, no matter what you hit it on."
she goes back to the armor and takes off the leather straps, and gets new ones, these were tough leather straps and places it on the armor , giving a tuning to the armor as well with her hammer, placing it 10 minutes later on the counter
"There, all done"
She smiles looking at him
-
Hamon feels a strange sensation.
What was that?
He ignores it as he lays out some nightshade around the alter. One of the skeletons seemed to wonder about that.
This thing is an eyesore, and I like the way nightshade looks, so back off.
-
Kyra
So, what do you think are main objective in this strike force is?
She paused and looked around
I mean we can't destroy Takima by ourselves.
-
I followed the two people up the stairs and to my room. They quickly ran ahead of me and into the room, a few moments later they emerged and led me into the room. They showed me a little bell system they had, if I wanted anything all I had to do was pull on the rope and they would be there as quickly as they could be. I excused them one at a time and put a coin in each of their hands.
Then I turned to my room, it was small; as to be expected in a small town; but it was quite nicely furnished. It had a good bed, no bugs of any sort, and a dresser for people who planned on staying a little longer then a night. I sat on the bed and looked at my Book. I have had this thing longer then I cared to remember, and it was starting to get really heavy. I almost threw it across the room, but thought better of it, I needed the spell hidden deep in it's pages. I put it under the pillow then pulled back the covers, I laid down and pulled the covers over me. I closed my eyes and tried to get some sleep...
-
GM post @ fox
Th tavern owner nodded at the cloaked figure
I'm sure it was him.
The cloaked figure shookm his head and walked out. A few minutes later h e returned with another cloaked figure, they both had silver scythes glowing under their cloaks and the tavern owner told them
Room 242, heres the key.
He handed them the key and on walked up the stairs while the other walked outside and caled the wall to the window of room 242. The window opened and the man slid in with his scythe in hand as the other opened the door quietly and drew his scythe, guarding the door. The one by the necromancer raised his scythe and broguht it hurtling towards the necromancer head.
-
I'm guessing it was a good thing I never slept in my bed anyways... I watched my puppet lose it's head and scream as the soul occupying it was forced out of it. (I took your idea of a little puppet thingy with me, it's a must for a traveling necromancer.) I summoned a spirit to fill the last puppet I had on me. I told it to stay still, I wanted to know what they were after before I made my move...
-
GM post @ fox
The men swore then one said
Toss the room, we need that book.
They began tearing apart the room.
-
Why did so many people get to know of this book! It's well over a thousand years old, and only my master knew of it's existence when I killed him...perhaps it was that other necromancer, maybe he had access to my master's soul, never mind that now, I could think on this later, now I needed to escape. As one of them walked up to the closet I was in I told my puppet to take him. It quietly drew it's swords then ran them through the closet door and into his chest. He screamed and fell to the floor bleeding profusely as my puppet removed it's swords from his chest and busted out of the closet to handle the other man.
(I guess I'll let you react to my post instead of G-modding any more then I already have.)
-
GM post @ Fox
AS his [artner fell to the gound dead the man drew his scythe and blocked the puppets sowrd, then he lopped him in half and shouted
I know your here necromancer, give us the book!
He readided his scythe for defense.
-
Hamon grew bored, so he called for his hounds.
Go and hunt. Bring me back some parts. Remember, do not touch anyone from Takima. I worked too hard to gain what I have with them.
The hounds ran out and split off in different directions around the forest.
Now, you, and you. Fight for my entertainment. You over there, prepare some tea.
Hamon took a seat in his throne, where a book about torture was waiting for him. The minions fought before him.
-
I summoned a soul to take over the body of his fallen comrade, then emerged from the closet. (insert gay reference here) Both of my puppets surrounded the man with his scythe. "Tell me, how do you know of this Book?"
-
Gm post
The man said
All you need to know is it's none of your business!
Then the man swung his axe killing his partner and then picking up his axe so he was dual wileding,
Now die!
-
He aimed for his former friend first, assuming him to be the weakest of the two targets. While he was picking up the ax his friend was carrying my puppet lunged at him with both swords aimed for his stomach, I might not get it out of you alive, but I could try to get it after you are dead...
-
GM post
AS the sword was driven into his stomach his spirit flew out of him and back to its owner, then their was an echoing voice heard around the room,
You have kiled my men but you can't have their spirits!
-
(I'm going to do this, only because it may help fox find my character if he wishes.)
Some of the hounds smell death, and also smell a necromancer. They get some speed and jump into first floor window, scaring the patrons within the bar, and run up to the sight of the scene. They see the other necromancer, but ignore him, and rip up one of the bodies, taking different parts into their mouths. They then jump out of the bedroom window, leaving a trail of blood as they head back to their master.
(Hamon)
The fighters are still going at it, while Hamon thought of a new type of minion to serve him based off the pictures from the book.
-
Zer0 smirked.
" Good boy."
He walked forward, as the young human backed up, right into a pair of shackles, at the perfect height to trap his arms. The inhuman tilted and cracked his neck as he stepped forward. " Kss~" The Inhuman clamped the shackles shut on the boy's arms.
" No one will be hurt. Kehehe. What a fool! You must really care for these guy's safety~ And you don't even know them~ Kehehe...Kehahaha! WHAT A MORON!"
His shoulders twitched, and he grinned. " Well, now that you're there, let the fun begin~"
(seems OP to me. Tell me if so)
-
Raithen
Raithen snarled, his voice animalistic,
You bastard, Why do you get pleasure out of this?
He ripped against the shackles, his flesh tearing with each pull. With blood dripping from his wrist he glared. Then turned to the man
What do you want?
-
The inhuman's smile wavered a bit, and then it grew to a full- blown smile. " Kehehe~ It's amazing...The feeling of shredding flesh..of blood spilled all over your face...~"
He broke into a laughing fit, as he walked away, back to the woman, who began to whimper again. Each of his steps grw mre forceful, as he approached her, and then he turned back. " You wouldn't understand. The feel of another being crumbling under your strength~ Kehehehahah!"
His foot came down, with a loud crunch on the woman's ribs, and he giggled. " How many was that? Answer me."
"T..Three..." The woman spat, and lowered her head. The human warrior growled. " I side with the newbie. Sicko."
" Shut up, and line up on the wall if you know what's good for you. We have other methods of dealing with you guys..."
-
Raithen
Raithen bellowed
Leave her alone, just stop!
He struggled against the chains shredding his skin raw, then he screamed
Just do what he says, i'll figure out something!
-
Alright, enough. It's a draw. Next time, work harder on killing your opponent.
The two stop and go take their places to guard the place. The one minion he sent for tea brings him a cup, and he goes over to the princesses cave.
Why hello Princess, having a good time?
He takes a sip from the cup, and awaits a reply.
-
Looking at the blade carefully seeing all the dents and scrapes and cuts in the edge were all gone. Putting my armor back on it was a nice fit again.
Vixon: Wow you really are good. How much do I owe you for such great craftsmanship?
Siren constantly going around inspecting the armor in a great daze. And nods in approval.
Siren: I like it!
After a few moments....
Kyra: So, what do you think are main objective in this strike force is?.................I mean we can't destroy Takima by ourselves.
Vixon: I think I know what will happen. It's to evaluate their full defense system and try to find weaknesses in it and to see how strong their forces are when the necromancer isn't around. But......I can see some people are going to try and make it a rescue mission..Which is why I think they chose quite a few healers to go with us.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hellion the Soulless
Just north of Kai Sung is a Cave that dwells a formidable Necromancer.....
As I am crafting more puppets for a small army I decide to test my craftsmanship of two of my puppets. Walking over to two of them laying against the wall.
"Marionette! Eln ni' en Fe'na!"
Saying this spell 2 souls fly into each of the puppets and they instantly come to life.
"Alright I would like you both to fight and see how well you go at it NOW!"
As they start to swing their swords at each other I just go back to carving out my next puppet.
-
" I only leave my toys alone when they break. Kehehe~"
The woman had given up struggling, and Zero lowered his head, so that his eyes weren't visible. " But, I guess this one is broken. Ah well. I was never one for keeping things when I had no use for them..."
He brought his foot down on her head, and then kicked her to the wall, where she once again, went limp. This time, blood poured from the back of her head, and a soft, airy groan was heard..
" Now, let's see here. One toy down, three left...."
He turned to look at the man against the wall, and then the other, who hadn't moved yet.
" Let's see...eenie, meenie, miney, mo..." He grinned, as he started to choose one of them.
-
Kyra
Kyra smiled
Yeah, we're going to try to get a friend of mine.
She paused
The idiot is either the bravest or stupidest man i've ever met.
Raithen
Raithen grimaced, as he the man started to pick a new target Raithen shouted
Torture me, just leave them alone!
The he began struggling against the shackles to gain attention.
-
Vixon looking at the little girl could see troubling thoughts going through her head.
Vixon: I kinda figured something like that would occur in this "Journey".
Vixon: I promise with this sword. I will do everything I can to help. I am a noble warrior as people have said before and I tend to keep it that way.
Smiling down at the girl.Placing several coins down on the counter.
Vixon: I am sorry I can't stay but I really need to go break in these new straps before we set off. If this isn't enough payment just tell me when we head over to Takima.
Siren: Thank you so much for helping fix his armor and sword.....(With a little concerened look on her face)I just don't know what I would do if he got seriously hurt.
She bowed and followed out behind Vixon.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hellion the Soulless
After a few moments one of the puppets finally fell in defeat.
"Well I must congratulate you on being the better fighter."
Going over to inspect the fallen puppet I see several flaws in the joints and chest peice.
"Well this is something I am going to have to change but it will have to be later.....I have already made too many of these..."(15 if you are wondering)(Also to clarify from my profile....The Rock Golem requires a mixture of living souls and the souls of the damned in order to be created.)
Heading back over to my desk area to create a few more of the Spear Throwers.
-
Wow you really are good. How much do I owe you for such great craftsmanship?
"Well since this is not a time to think of money, its free"
So, what do you think are main objective in this strike force is?.................I mean we can't destroy Takima by ourselves.
I think I know what will happen. It's to evaluate their full defense system and try to find weaknesses in it and to see how strong their forces are when the necromancer isn't around.

Alyx smiles looking at them

he places coins on the counter but Alyx doesnt touch them
"like i said its free"

-
The inhuman turned, and grinned.
" Kehehe~ I was hoping you'd be ready to let me have my way~"
He pivoted, away from the collapsed blacksmith, and his back turned to the two others. " How about this. Since no one esle wanted to, but you seem a bit willing now, how about we play a game. One at random? You're from Kai SUng, right? All the more reason to play this. They tool a random shot at my leg, I take a random shot at their prisoner~ Kehehe..."
THe eye on his chest chuckled, but spoke no more. He just looked on at the catastrophe waiting to happen.
-
Raithen
Raithen's eyes narrowed,
What kind of game?
He looked on with his wrists throbbing.
-
Zer0 grinned. He turned and grabbed his cootie catcher off the ground, trampled from earlier. " Oh, no. It seems like you stepped on iit. Oh well. It doesn't need to be perfect~" He returned to the teenager, where he held it out. " Just a game of fortune. Bad, for the most part, but fortune, nonetheless."
He grinned. " You pick a number, and we go from there. 1, 2, 3, 4. The survival of the other two here depend on you. Kehehe."
-
Raithen
Raithen sighed
I pick number two, because one is the loneliest humber, a friend tought me that.
Then he watched the torturer.
-
One of the arms on one of the bodies vanished, then a leg, then there was only a few piece of each body. Well who ever sent then was smart enough to send some Hounds to retrieve enough of their bodies I couldn't try to bring them back, perhaps if I followed them I could learn some more about this situation. I flipped through The Book, nothing about tracking hounds. I stuffed my puppets into my sack and left the tavern; the owner was surprised to see me, I'm guessing he expected me dead by now; I made a mental note to return and consume his soul some time soon.
On my way out I was surprised to see foot prints in the dirt, dog prints. They came and went from the town, against my better judgment I decided to follow them, what harm could come from curiosity my mind reassured me. Plenty my subconscious told me, dredging the deepest memories to remind me the danger of curiosity. Still, I needed to find that Necromancer, I needed to master the ultimate Necromancer art, then maybe I could rest...
-
The hounds have returned to the cave, with fresh body parts.
Very good, now take them over by the parts.
The hounds did as they were told. Hamon was going to get nowhere with the princess, so he took a step outside. The moon was still full.
What is taking them so long? The moon will not wait forever.
He got in his carriage, and two hounds attached themselves to it.
To Takima, and make haste.
-
Kyra
Kyra looked t Alyx then said
I think we should report in now, but first, do you need help carrying anything?
Kyra looked at Alyx awaiting a response.
-
Alyx putted the forge out and took the large axe , hooked to her back as she looked to Kyra
"no im good, i allways go light"
she smiles to her and walks to the door
"Come on,lets get that selfish boyfriend of yours"
giggles as she opens the door
-
Kyra
Kyra laughed along and asked
And how is he selfish
She looked at Alyx and walked out the door.
-
Alyx looks back and smiles
"because he didnt thought of your feelings all this time"
she smiles and locks the door after Kyra comes out
"And remember, i promised to bring him back, and i willl"
-
Kyra
Kyra looks at the ground
I've got a bad feeling about Raithen, somethings going on with him.
Then she began walking, and looked at Alyx amazed,
That's all you carry with you, I have to bbring this medical bag with herbs and tools along with the Daibo.
-
After a little bit in the training ground stretching around making the armor more comfortable.
Vixon: Hey Siren let's head back to the council I am sure they have plans laid out by now.
Siren nodding in agreement and follows beside Vixon.
Siren: I just hope we don't have to fight....
After a few moments of walking they arrive back at the council chamber to wait for further instructions.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hellion the Soulless
Finally completing the last one. Inventory count......15 Melee units.....15 Spear throwers.
"Eh that should be good enough for now."
Setting them up all in rows against the walls I start chanting the spell required to animate them all.
""Marionette! Eln ni' en Fe'na!"
Start seeing souls fly into the bodies of the puppets and start to come to life.
"Alright you maggots! Get in ranks Melee up front Spears in back."
As they set up in formation and the Spear throwers strap 5 spears to their back. I lead them out on a stroll to work out any kinks in the designs. So they wont freeze up in battle.
As I walk around for a bit I start thinking.
"I haven't been in Kai Sung for quite some time I wonder if they have anything good to eat out this late..."
So I assemble their ranks behind me and walk over to Kai Sung to be shocked at what I seen. Buildings half burnt to the ground. People being buried all over.
"Halt! Stay here till I say other wise it looks like they have had enough excitement tonight..."
I walk in to the city and up to one of the guards....
"What the hell happened here and why was I not called on for help?"
Guard: It was a surprise attack....another necromancer with huge undead numbers at his command and Takima stormed into the city.....It was a slaughter.
In quite a bit of shock I pass up the guard and head to the Main building where Daylin usually is.
"Excuse me may I enter?"(As I sit at the entrance.) "Just one question....Who was the necromancer?"
-
Axyl smiles looking at Kyra and shakes head
"The reality is more than meets the eye"
she opened her white coat a bit to show several herbs and flasks stuck to the coat, then turns to show the back of her red sash that had alot of small knifes in it
"I may be small but im strong and can carry alot that you probably couldnt"
giggles looking at Kyra
-
Zer0 frowned a bit. " Two, a lonely number?"
One..Two..
He looked down into the paper toy.
" Okay, 10, 11, 6, or 7?" He smirked. One last number, and the torture could begin.
-
Hamon gets to the capitol building to see the town leader.
What is taking so long? Morning will come at any moment, and the ritual needs to be done now. Where is the boy?
Hamon was fuming at this moment. He prepared the ritual, and now he spent his entire time waiting for someone that may have already gotten second thoughts.
(Hamon does not know it is a prisoner who needs his spirit broken.)
-
Kyra
Kyra smiled at Alyx, by then they had reached the leaders building, approaching the door Kyra opened it and entered. She saw a man that looked like a necromancer talking to Daylin.
Who's that man?
Daylin
Daylin shook his head and said
As far as I know the man was Hamon a renowned necromancer for Takima.
He could see Kyra,Alyx,Vixon, and Siren from his seat and he beckoned for them,
Take a seat all of you.
Raithen
Raithen growled out
Eleven because the more the merrier!
(WTP hurry up and break him.)
GM post @ Cortex
We have a good torturer working on the prisoner now, your free to visit and assist him.
He beckoned for a guard to lead Hamon to the prisoner.
-
Alyx looks at the man and looks at Kyra
"Go sit sweety, i will stay standing"
she looks at Daylin
"So why is he here?"
-
Vixon: Who are you? I have never seen you before...
Siren hiding behind Vixon poking out to look at the man.
Whispering up to Vixon.
Siren: I don't like this man...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hellion the Soulless
"I have a small army outside waiting to invade at my command I am here to finish you all off....(pausing for a moment to see their reactions..)"Just kidding I am on your side...I just came in to see what was going on."
Turning back to Dalyn and started to think to himself..
"Hamon....Hamon....Oh him....I am sure he used the full moon in order to amass such a huge army."
Started walking into one of the corners to find out what fully was going on.
"Also..My name is Hellion the Soulless master at using puppets instead of undead."
-
Zer0 grinned a bit, and slowly liftd up the crumpled flap labled 11. He knew that wasn't how it was supposed to work, but he HAD been told to hurry. He looked down.
" Kehehe. Kehehe...KEHAHAHAH!"
His body shook as he laughed. " You MORON! Look what your ridiculous counting has done! You just sacrificed everyone's left arm! How are you feeling now? Kehehahahahahah!" Wich a quick and fluid move, Zer0's palms were on his prisoner's left arm. " I'll just break this until it's too limp to protest my dull blade. Ssslice~"
The eye on the inhuman's chest glanced behind him. " You two. Get over here, and lay down, arms spead out. Now. Don't make me have to ask a second time, or you'll loose more than an arm."
Zer0 grinned, and giggled, as both of his hands went to the chained forearms. He pushed genbtly at first, then looked up. "I suggest you grit your teeth. I'm gonna hit you below the wrist." He grinned, pulled his arm back, and slammed his elbow at full-force into the arm. Maybe a fracture, but no extreme damage.
The warrior, in the meantime, glared at Jayter, then Raithen. " You fools..." He crawled forward, and splayed out his arms, laying on the floor. zer0 smirked.
"You humans are SO obedient when you have no other option. That's what pisses me off about your inferior race...However, all the more fun to break~" He grinned, and giggled, as he slammed into Raithen's arm, and jumped, forcing his full weight onto the warrior below him's left arm.
" Get over here, you putrid piece of crap," The eye spat at Jayter.
-
The guard led Hamon to the area where they were being tortured. He seen an inhuman taking his sweet time, and something in Hamon snapped. He went into the room and knocked the inhuman aside.
Do you have any idea how long I have been waiting? Do you know what happens when people waste my time?
He looked at the body of the dead woman, and pointed his staff at her.
Recreo!
The woman got up, a zombie minion for his next phase.
This is how you break someone!
He grabbed one of the prisoners from the ground, and brought it in front of Raithen. He beckoned the zombie over to him.
Start ripping the skin of this one, right in front of him. You, if you close you eyes, I will kill someone and have them feast upon another.
The mark on Hamon's head started to glow bright, his anger was at the boiling point.
-
Raithen
Raithen felt sick, his stomach was doing turns, he would stay strong if someone was torturing him, but he couldn't see the helpless in pain because of him.
Fine i'll do as you ask, just let them go!
He felt the blood searing down his arms and he whispered as tears rolled off hi cheeks,
I'm sorry Kyra, i'm so sorry.
Kyra
Kyra sat down on to a chair, and looked at the puppet wielder.
It's nice to meet you Hellion.
She nodded curtly and politely, but fingered the daibo on her waist cautiously with one hand, while the other stroked Rioku who was on her shoulder.
She then turned to Daylin,
Who are we waiting for?
Daylin
Daylin crossed his hands and said
We are only waiting for Tyler Leore, now Hellion, it's a good question miss Alyx proposes, what are you doing here?
GM post @ lubbies
A guard walked to the training ground,
Young Leore, your presence is required at sir Daylin's quarters.
-
I striked the wooden mannequinne again and again, I hit it so hard that my hands started to bleed. A guard walks up to me.
Guard-Young Leore, your presence is required at sir Daylin's quarters.
I release my stance and my muscles were relieved of stress.
me-Lead the way.
I wiped sweat from my brow and sheathed my sword.
-
Don't worry, child, when tonight is done, you will feel better about what has happened. Guards, place him in my carriage and inform the higher ups that the job is done.
He released the soul of the woman, causing the servant to fall back limp, and the prisoner it ripped to shreds fell on the ground, dead. Hamon went over to the inhuman.
You see that. That is progress. A kitten could do a better job than you, and I will make it my high priority to have you replaced. Good night!
Hamon left for his carriage.
-
Raithen
Raithen was ushered into a carriage, and handed his sword and shield back being told,
you'll need this, but try anything and you'll die.
He quietly sheathed the sword and strapped the shield across his back, then he wiped away the tears. A man he knew as the leader of Takima approached and told the necromancer,
I'll be accompanying you to witness the, could you say coronation of this boy?
Then the man stepped into the carriage awaiting the necromancer to leave.
GM post @ lubbies
The guard lead Tyler to the quarter opened the door for him and left.
-
To my cave.
The hounds started to speed up, and head back to the cavern.
That inhuman you put in charge, is a joke. He spends too much time playing with the prisoners, and giving into their demands. If I were you, I would have him fired, and cast out of the city.
The hounds reached the cave, as they knew their master was not in the mood for a slow ride.
Child, step out of the carriage and follow me. Esteemed leader, I shall lead you to the ceremonial alter to watch.
Hamon stepped out of the carriage, and began to walk into the cave.
(Blades, you can respond, and say when we reach the alter, I need to think up the incantation.)
-
(Ok)
Raithen and Takima leader
Raithen was thrown out of the carriage and the leader stepped out of the carriage as well,
Raithen my name is Rykan, leader of Takima now, are either you or Hamon familar with the tale of Asdis and Mordeon?
Raithen shook his head no.
-
I believe I have heard the tale, but don't recall exactly what happened.
Hamon was keeping an eye on the boy, his anger disappeared, and almost felt pity for him. He tried to remember where he saw him from. Could it have been during the attack? He was moving too fast to really pay attention.
-
me-I'm here, what do you want?
My bandaged arm didn't matter to me until now, it throbbed lightly. This discomforted me slightly but I tried to focus on the matter at hand.
me-I've got things to do so can we hurry this up.
My patience levels have dropped dramatically since the battle.
-
Raithen and Tyran
Tyran looked at both of them then said
Then lsiten well,long ago a sorcerer ruled the lands of Beringan, his name was Asdis and he was renowned for his abilities light speels. He could destroy whole villages with a wave of his hand. Yet one day a necromancer be the name of Modeon emerged, he was well known for his strength and abilities to create skeletal monsters such as a Skeleal dragon, as expected the powers oof Asdis and Modeon clashed eventually. The ancient battle of light against darkness began that day,, they met on hallowed ground in a duel to the death. The battle lasted three longs day and finally both sorcerer and necromancer fell to the ground exhausted, with the last of their strength Asdis summoned a water elemantal and Modeon created a skeletal dragon, each died in the other creaton grip, and their spell books full of their knowledge fell to the ground coded in only a language they could read. With their dying strength each whisked away their books to a hidden location and swore they would be reincarnated and only their reincrnates could decrypt their spell books. I believe this boy in front of us maybe the legended reincarnation of Modeon, and I have an idea where Modeons spell nook maybe. His powers should come in after the ritual, now Hamon are you ready to begin?
Raithen stood their shocked as they reached the Alter.
Daylin
Daylin waved for Tyler to sit down
Be patient, we're just about to discuss you all's mission.
-
Yes, we can begin.
Hamon hand Raithen the knife and a piece of paper:
Meum sanguinem atramentum. Hoc ferro et litteris. ut sunt dirige me ad, Magister Siraset.
Stand on the alter, then read this out loud. Once the incantation is complete, thrust this knife into your heart. You will meet Master Siraset, and form a contract with him.
Hamon called for some skeletal minions.
Minions, form into a throne for Lord Rykan.
The skeletons took themselvs apart and built a throne of bones for Rykan to have a seat.
-
Raithen
Raithen stepped onto the alter, he rad the piece of paper aloud,
Meum sanguinem atramentum. Hoc ferro et litteris. ut sunt dirige me ad, Magister Siraset.
Then without hesitation he thrust the knife flawlessly through his heart. Raithen's world went black for a moment and when he came to a strange and skeletal looking being floated in front of him, he was in a barren mountain.
I'm am the lich king Siraset, you wish to gain the powers of the lich, what makes you worthy!
Raithen leaped to his feet and said
I have no idea what your talking about, I just want the power to sav my friends, i'll give you anything.
The lich king paused and seemed to bore through Raithens soul with a glare.
You seem familar, is that you Mordeon, no you must be the reincarnate he promised.
The lich king paused and the air seemed to glow,
Where do you wish the mark of your contract to be?
Raithen was confused, then he realized that he must talking about the emblem on Hamons head.
Upon my left palm.
Raithens hand felt a searing pain, and an emblem appeared on his palm.
Your contract is done, you have the powers of a lich Mordeon.
WHy did they keep calling me Mordeon? Raithen thought. Then his vision disorted and when he could see again he was back where he stood before. He could sense the life force of everything around him, and somethin was telling him if he tried he could steal it and focus it into something else. His meories felt fuzzy, and he could only remeber a hawk and a white haired girl, but he couldn't remeber what they had to do with him.
What's going on?
-
Welcome, young necromancer. How was your meeting with Siraset?
Hamon could not help but make a smile. He had made another necromancer, and this one may be the strongest one yet.
You are here to receive training in the dark arts, as your mark is like mine. I am more experienced than you. Now...
Some minions brought Raithen some parts.
Attempt to craft a minion for your first test.
-
With the parts laid in fron of him he looked at them, something was missing. He could feel what he needed buried deep beneath the earth pulling at him. He attempted to call it up to him and two large skeletal wings shot from the ground and landed at his feet. With that done he began to work with the bones, after a few moments it was formed into a shape, he stole the life force of several of Hamons minions and transferred it too the form. Instantly a skeletal dragon the size of Raaithen shot from the ground alive, and Raithen looked at Hamo.
Is this correct?
-
Hamon looked around as his minions fell.
Well, you seriously placed a hole in my defenses and killed about two months work of work, but that is correct. So you're a life drinker. We should find you a more sustainable source than my minions.
Hamon was surprised. He managed to make a dragon, and even called parts from deep within the earth.
You have access to the alter when making any of you minions. There is also a lodge for necromancers nearby. We have a law, if someone follows the dark arts, we do not attack them for any purpose. The ones that break that law are no longer called necromancers.
-
Raithen
Raithen placed his hand on the dragon, then looked at HAmon
I have two questions, one do you know a white haired girl and a hawk, I feel like i'm connected to them, also do you know of a sustainable power source?
Raithen looked on awating an answer.
-
I do not know about any white haired girl, or any hawk. What kind of absurd question is that. And about a power source, anything that has life in it, just do not use my minions. Look at them, the ones you drained are no longer usable anymore.
Hamon looked to Lord Rayken.
So, are you satisfied with this new necromancer? He was able to bring about a dragon, like Mordeon.
-
Raithen and Rayken
Rayken nodded,
That proves it, the boy has to be the reincarnate, Hamon it's now your responsibility to make sure this boy is trained.
Raithen looked at Hamon,
I don't know, they just seem to be imprinted on my brain, now what should I do next.
-
Tt is getting late. But, since you so decided to sap my minions, you shall have them replaced by morning. I have urgent matters to discuss, and I must escort Lord Rykan home.
Hamon started for the carriage. He turned back to call to the reincarnate.
Remember, by morning. There are spare parts in the back room. The alter is your main area for resurrecting.
He continued onward to prepare the carriage.
-
Raithen and Rykan
Raithen nodded and set to work pulling the supplies to the main alter. Dylan got into the carriage awaiting Hamon, and Raithen stared then went back to work. He qui kly created two skeletal soldiers and a zombie, but found theast two skeletons missing something. He focused and two sets of wings shot from the ground, creating the last two skeletons with wings on their backs. By the
time he was finished the sun was in the sky and the full moon gone.
Daylin (I'm fling a bit and making everyone to have fallen asleep in the muddle of the night)
Daylin quickly stirred the sleeping team saying
Get up now, stallions await you outside.
Then he sat down in his seat
Kyra
Kyra awoke to Daylin shouting, she fish't remember falling asleep but she myst have. She stood and stretched then walked outside, she found severral horses awaiting her and she quickly jumped on the saddle of a chestnut mare, claiming him.
Get out here, we've got to leave!
-
I walk outside and mount the same white thoroughbred that I rode the day before. I feel the soft thump of its heart. I stroke its mane, the soft fur gliding between my fingers.
me-I agree we should go.
Tranced by the mares white fur I shake myself back to reality. Wait, shouldn't I fix my armour before I go? It's still breached in many places and most of the chain mail have broken.
me-I'll be right back.
I grind my feet into the horses body and it gallops off towards the Leore estate.
-
As I reached the forest the tracks died out. I looked, but I couldn't find any trace of them. I was about to turn around and leave when I decided to look again, and to my amazement I found a single track, and a few yards away another; guess this was my lucky night. I followed the tracks for quite a while, sometimes losing them again; but they always reappeared once I took a second look. Eventually they led to a cave reeking of death, a Necromancer lair for sure.
I crept to the entrance, I could see an alter and two people. One of them handed the other a knife then told him something I couldn't quite hear. The second person said something that stood out much clearer then any thing else that had been said "Meum sanguinem atramentum. Hoc ferro et litteris. ut sunt dirige me ad, Magister Siraset." Then he plunged the knife into his own heart. He swayed for a moment before falling dead to the floor. A few moments passed, I didn't move a muscle; in all my years I had never seen a Necromancer perform a ritual that required a person to kill themselves, what was the meaning of this.
As numerous thoughts ran through my head, the second man got back up and looked around confused. The first man said something then instructed him in the ways of something. The second looked at the parts laid infront of him, he seemed to shake his head; then he called wings of sorts from the ground and formed the pieces into a dragon; this was all too creepy, my master warned me to beware the Man who can call pieces to him... As I fled the incantation he said kept running through my head, "Meum sanguinem atramentum. Hoc ferro et litteris. ut sunt dirige me ad, Magister Siraset..." I had heard that before; then I realized, it was one of the forbidden spells hidden in the very book I carried...
-
Alyx followed Kyra and jumped on the horse next to hers, a black one, as she looks back
"Come on lets go, we need to go before sun down"
she looks at Kyra and smiles
"We well bring him back"
-
Kyra
Kyra looked at Alyx,
Somethings changed in Raithen
She paused to look at the ground,
I can feel it.
Raithen
Raithen felt a presence, it carried something he needed., desperately. Without thinking he commanded
Dragon, go find that presence.
The dragon flew out of the cave searching.
-
Hamon and Rykan were in the carriage, heading back to Takima.
Any word about Kai shung? Did it all burn to the ground?
Hamon noticed the sun coming up. The mark on his head glowed less bright, and then stopped.
If their are any survivors, they might take it upon themselves to strike back. I can have patrols around the forest, and with a few dragons from our new necromancer, we will have a hard time losing.
-
Rykan
The strike did less than we thought, many survived and the village just lost a few buildings. As for Raithen, keep an eye on him. He appear to have list his memory, but his lover from Kai Sung might be able to bring it back.
The carriage stopped and Rykan stepped out and left.
Raithen
Raithen decided to experiment while his dragon hunted for the intruder, He created a quick skeleton and instructed it to go to the corner. Raithen focused, searching his brain for ways to destroy it, a word flashed across his mind and he whispered
Atrateum
His hand glowed and a black bolt of power flew from his finger tips, hitting the skeleton and causing it to explode into pieces, he'd have to keep experimenting on his abilities and remember that spell.
-
Tyler
I sprinted inside the mansion into my room, I quickly changed sets of armour and rushed out. I hop on my horse and trot back to everyone else.
me-Ready.
My white armour shining.
____________________________________________
Hayl
I walked through the forest, every footstep crunching on the ground.
me-This pristine environment, untouched by the drums of war, beautiful.
The birds sang sweetly and the squirrels chattered quickly, this was a wonderland. To keep it this way I must protect it, I must fight. This is one place that I will make sure never gets chopped, I will risk my life for this place. I cannot do it alone though.
-
Dragon
The dragon flies quickly, passing the necromancer he went after and flew into Kai Sung forest. It zooms around and then spots a sorcerer. The dragon rears back and send a blast of darkness at the sorcerer.
-
Hamon ordered his hounds to turn around and take him home.
As you wish.
His hounds sped up to get back to the cave, and once there, Hamon noticed something strange, skeletons with wings.
I'm going to see a lot of that, I just know it.
He went inside seeing Raithen practicing his new powers.
Learned a new spell, did we? You'll find that those will prove useful in the future. Go get some rest, you look like hell.
Hamon went over to his throne and decided to take another nap. What a hectic sleep schedule he has, at least the cave has flying minions to defend it.
-
Raithen
Raithen shook his head and said
I can't sleep
He decides to try one more spell, He searches his mind for the strongest spell he can find, a word flashes across his mind and he points his hand at the throne at Hamons feet
Atrosium.
A small black swirl forms at the feet of Hamon and begins to suck things in, Raithen knew he knew one last spell and he whispered
Atrocinum
His sword blazed to life surrounded by dark aura and it quickly went out as Raithen collapsed from lack of energy, the black hole dissapeared and his sword stopped glowing as he hit the ground.
-
Hayl
The flapping of wings is heard in the sky, I turn round to see a skeletal dragon flying and a bolt of dark energy incoming.
me-Ystemora!
The bolt is blocked and my shield is weakened.
me-Yskat!
A heavy snow falls obscuring me from view. I whisper.
me-I'd lke to see you fly in that weather, yskine!
I shoot a frosty bolt through the snow, I can see perfectly well.
-
No use trying to destroy me. You got your powers from Siraset.
Hamon was just telling a little joke. He opened his eyes and saw the mess.
Minions, clean this place up, and take him to a bed. Don't forget to feed our prisoner as well. I need her to stay alive.
They did as they were told, and got straight to work on it, cleaning up what got tossed over, and taking Raithen to a bed. Some went outside to find some food for the princess.
-
Dragon
The dragon was hit with the ice bolt and fell apart.
-
Vixon gets ready to head out with the others heading outside stretching to the sunlight.
Vixon: Alright I am ready for this!
Getting pumped for the mission.
Looking around not seeing Siren any wheres...Going back inside she was asleep..Gently shaking her to wake her up. She just sits up and smiles.
Vixon: It's time to go.
Siren stretches and nods.
Both heading outside to join the others.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hellion the Soulless
Finding where Daylin went.
"If you would like I could offer my services for protection on their quest if something would go down and they had to retreat fast." "I could use my army I have posted outside the city at the moment to fight back anyone trying to track them down." "But only if you wish."
Bowing down before Daylin. Trying not to answer his question of why he was there because it was pointless now....Since the city was a wreck supplies was probably out of the question at the moment.
-
A loud roar let me know that I had been spotted. I quickly set my puppets free to flea, each with a fake copy of the book. They each went in a different direction and I went in yet another. I knew the best place to hid, I just needed to get there.
-
Daylin
He nodded
You may go, their is a horse waiting for you.
Kyra
Kyra smiled, everyone was on their horse. She spurred her heels into the chesnut fur and the horse reared and took off in the direction of Takima.
Raithen
Raithen awoke a few hours later groggily, he set up and looked around. He walked into the room where Hamon slept and whispered,
Atrateum
A small bolt of power flew from his hands, striking his masters feet, then he said,
It's time to train.
-
Zer0 scowled at the male necromancer as he spoke. But, he looked away, to watch as the flesh was torn of the arrogant warrior by the dead female's corpse. He had to admit, it was amusing to watch. His fingers played with his left eye as he waited for the boy to give in, which wasn't long at all. The necromancer resumed speaking to him, and he scowled once again at the man. He never liked necromancers, although they smelled like death, something he liked. This one, he hated even more. But, he didn't dare speak, as the man called his torture like that of a kitten. As he walked away, Zer0 turned to roam the room. " Fire me if you will. I don't like orders anyway. Just remember that that leaves me out there, ready to destroy anything."
Zer0 sighed, and turned to the last prisoner. His smile lengthened, and he crept up behind him silently. The boy wasn't paying attention to anyone else, just the door. He drew his knife. " It's so sad..." He muttered. " That one's gone, and these two are dead. I was gonna kill that arrogant one, too..." He closed his eyes, and he felt his free arm go around the boy's neck. The human struggled, as the hand around his neck pulled his clothing up to expose his abodmen. Zer0 leaned forward. " So, I guess you're the only one I'm going to get to mess with. Have fun, Be sure to tell me how this feels, if you want to..." The inhuman leaned his head on his victim's shoulder, as his left hand brought the dull blade into a horizontal position on the human's belly. " Kehehe..."
The knife slid, rather dully, and the inhuman scowled. " I knew my knife was dull." Two fingers touched the dry skin that he had cut, no evidence of the blade at all, save for his victim's tremoring. " Shh. Now now. Think of it this way. You're gonna be put to good use...Kyehehe." The Inhuman closed his eyes again, and brought the blade tip against the human, a bit harder, but not in a stab. He was careful with his cuts. The human struggled even more, as the knife dug deeper and moved slower than he could imagine. " I have GOT to sharpen this thing up soon..." The inhuman muttered, as his fingers probed the scene of his cut again, for the moment, no blood.But, he could feel the flaps of skin opening, so he continued. Another slice, slower to cut through the thin but fatty level that protected the human's muscle. Zer0 tiltd his head back, and grinned. " Nmm~ Now, now, I haven't even gotten to the worse part.Damn this blade." He sighed again, as the knife struck the bare, and bleeding muscle. With the arm and hand around the human's neck, he started peeling the flaps of skin outward. He didn't have to worry about the boy being needed. He was abandoned to die now.
-
Raithen
Raithen looked at Hamon, then asked,
I was wondering if their was a way to place a soul into an inanimate object?
Raithen stared at Hamon awaiting a response.
-
I let out a scream, I watched as my skin was pierced and flapped. The pain was unbearable and I think I'm going to pass out soon.
Me-d-damn you b-bastard.
The pain intensified as he cut deeper. The burning pain felt like a white hot pole was being pressed against me. This is only the beginning I thought.
-
Hamon, who was rudely awakened again, stood up.
You know, I could destroy you easily, but I have other orders. Repeat your question, I couldn't hear it over the fact that you ruined my dream. If you don't remember, I just lead the biggest attack in my career, and have been up most of last night.
He called for some tea from his minions.
-
As Vixon gets on the horse and pulls Siren up on the back of it. Siren started blushing a lot. Being able to wrap her arms around him while they rode to Takima.
Looking back Vixon seen the necromancer Hellion talking to Daylin and he nodded towards Hellion.
Vixon: I wonder what that was about..
Shrugging it off he got beside the others and was ready to head off..
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hellion the Soulless
"Thank you for this opportunity....It will help on their success and allow me to find out how well these designs work in real combat if it should arrise"
Heading outside he sees a pure black horse waiting. Stepping up onto the horse he started muttering a spell.
"I'rin ni' " "Come to my aid my soldiers!"
In the distance you could hear marching eventually at the gate you could see Hellions little army march past it.
"Don't worry they wont be doing anything unless something bad was to happen. They will be stationed outside hidden."
-
Raithen
Raithen paused then said
I was wondering if you could placea soul into an inanimate object?
Raithen looked at him,
Where did you attack last night and how'd it go?
-
It doesn't matter, it wasn't really a success.
he drank down the tea.
Dead bodies are inanimate objects, so you can place a soul in pretty much anything if it is built to hold it. Now start packing some things, you're going to take down a village. Nothing too big, just a few buildings, to see the limit of your powers.
Hamon starts to walk outside.
When you're ready, meet me by the carriages. Oh, and you can't use any of my minions. you'll need to make your own. About ten will do.
He heads out of the cave.
-
Tyler
I trotted slowly behind everyone else, I don't know what ol wise man Daylin expects us to do. How can such a small group of people do such a thing. I wasn't even filled in on what we were going to do.
Me-What were we meant to do again.
We must first go through the Kai Sung forest then straight to Takima.
-
Raithen
Raithen focused, and a pile of parts shot from the ground. The first thing he did was quickly create five skeletal dragons, then he made a skeletal horse and attached a saddle. Then he found a pile of flesh and after several failed attempts he managed to create four large flesh lizards. Then to too it all off he made a skeletal dragon that barely fit into the large cave. The dragon was easily four times bigger than Hamons carriage, and Raithen added an outer layer of flesh for protection. He hopped onto the horse and his creations followed him outside, the dragons in the air, the lizards on the ground, and the giant dragon crawled out of the cave and shot into the air,
This good?
Raithen questioned as he rose up beside the carriage.
-
Hamon was almost impressed.
Good, now they'll see you from a mile away. It will have to do, we're burning daylight. Follow me.
His hounds started to pull the carriage towards the northwest. They would reach the village soon.
(Blades, say when we reach there, and what the village is called.)
-
Raithen
Raithen and Hamon rode for several minutes, then they reached the village of Silepa. Raithen was quick to spur the horse faster, his flesh dragon shot into the air and spewed flames from its mouth. The skeletal dragons shot into the air and begin snatching villagers while the flesh lizard just plainly devoured them. Seeing the main building, Raithebln rode up and pouted his palm at it.
On your command this place will be no more.
-
This kid lacks subtlety, but you got to love his enthusiasm.
Hamon called out:
Finish them, leave nothing left.
Hamon watched the destruction from a safe distance, his hounds seemed to want to join in.
This is his village to take, we had our fun yesterday.
-
Atrateum.
As the words escaped Raithen lips a bolt of darkness flew from his palm. The building was destroyed on contact, and Raithens servants backed away, each carrying several corpses.
Master it's done, my minions have acquired corpses for you.
He awaited his next command.
-
Not bad, needs to learn a little more, but not bad.
Hamon has the carriage ride up to Raithen.
Congrats, your power is immense, but you lack control. Imagine doing this with a vast army, you may end up getting killed by your own dragon. Now, before that thing...
He points to the large flying dragon.
gets back in my cave, have it dismantled or at least have it wait outside out of sight. I want my cave to stay clean, which you didn't help with that black hole from earlier.
Hamon notices one survivor struggling to get up.
Trahant vitam!
A flash of red finished him off.
Alright, onward to Takima to celebrate. I'm sure Rykan will be pleased to know of this as well.
The carriage rode off towards Takima, allowing Riathen to think before catching up.
-
What were we meant to do again.
Alyx looks at him and smiles
"Its simple, get inside undetected, come out undetected with every prisioner inside"
she smiles to them as she makes her horse start walking forward
"lets go everyone"
-
Raithen
Raithen pondered for a moment, then commanded the flesh dragon to hide outside the entrance of Hamons cave. Then with the skeletal dragons and flesh lizard following him he caught up to Hamon on the skeletal horse.
Kyra
Kyra smiled and shouted back,
catch me if you can Alyx.
-
You couldn't just tell them to head home? You don't see me running around with undead bodyguards all day, it makes too much if a target. As intimidating as it looks, some people are not too nice to Necromancers.
He thought of one tale.
Like this paladin, who came storming into my cave, claiming they he would slay me and my army. Unfortunately for him, he disturbed my tea time, and didn't take into account that I was conversing with a couple my minions. Long story short, his armor wasn't blessed, and I had him ripped down the middle, and now he works for me. I named him Sam, he serves me tea.
-
Alyx keeps riding with the others as she looked forward
catch me if you can Alyx.
she smiles and nods
"I would catch you in a instant if i was on foot, but this works too"
she giggles and starts making her horse running after Kyra
-
Zer0 inhaled, and smiled. " Ahh.. That familiar, sweet coppery smell. That'll have to do for now. Your screams aren't good enough yet~"
As the knife plunged a little deeper into his victim's exposed muscle, he started to make small talk. "I never did like being told what to do. Neither did you, if you ended up here. Or, is there another reason? Well, you don't have to tell me if you don't have to. I'm slightly curious about Takima itself. The people, their training. I don't remember this place well. Tell me about it."
He positioned his knee to hold the prisoner up, and backed up against the wall, to make it a bit easier to cut. From behind the human, he could see the muscles, thin and either red, or white, splitting open. " Ah. This stupid thing. Remind me to sharpen it, m'kay?"
He forced his fingers in the deepest spot, and grinned in satisfaction at a soft squelch. "There it is. Feel this? It's the sack that protects your intestines and anything else here. It's actually pretty easy to cut. My bare fingers could do that. But, the hole isn't big enough to pull anything out of..." He glanced downward at the blood pooling at the ground, and scratched his head with the knife hand. " This will only take a sec."
The knife was moving painfully slow, as Zer0 was cutting the flesh carefully, as not to puncture what he was aiming for. Once he deemed the hole wide enough, he pressed fingers in again, and they went deeper.
" Okay, now I'm about to pull them out...~" A sickening SHLOOORP was heard, and the skin-like sac opened. Zer0 grinned, his fingers pressing into the organs. " I can feel your heart beating...~"
Without waiting for a reply, he drew his hand out, his hand tugging gently at the throbbing flesh he held in his hand. He now used both hands to pull it out, where he grinned. " Try not to squirm too much. You don't want to snap this. It's pretty important."
-
Raithen
Raithen glanced at his master,
As you wish.
With a wave of his hand the minions dissapeared towards the cave. He looked curiously at Hamon,
Master, why did you laugh after yo(he's forgotten wu told that story, I felt no humor?
(He's forgotten what to feel, he knows what emotions are, but he has forgotten his.)
Kyra
She could feel the heatbeat of the horse as she nuzzled against it. The chestnut mane was blown into her face by the wind, and Rioku flew above her with a birds eye view. The horses hooves hit the west bridge of Kai Sung hard as she thundered out of the village,
Give it up, you, you can't catch me Alyx.
-
Oh no, don't tell me, you forget how too...
The carriage came to a sudden stop. The hounds started to sniff the air.
Hold on, I think we got company.
Hamon listened closely. He could hear galloping in the distance.
Horses. Coming from...
If he mentioned Kai Shung, then Raithen might remember he was the one that attacked it.
Never mind, we should turn this way. You did just sack a village, it would be best to use cover.
The hounds headed for the trees.
-
Raithen
Raithen looked at bus master curiously, but spurred the skeletal horse in the direction Hamon went. Raithen drew his sword, then looked at Hamon,
Would you like me to destroy them?
He looked at Hamon, the mark on his palm already beginning to glow.
-
You know, this would be a good exercise. I have grown bored as well.
The carriage stops.
I have hounds still searching for parts, all I need to do is whistle. Can you sense any parts in the ground?
-
Raithen
Raithen nods, then questioned Hamon,
What kind of parts would you like?
His palm began to glow as he searched the ground. He sensed several different rupees of parts. He looked at Hamon for orders, and his skeletal horse stopped in its tracks.
-
Whatever comes to mind with what you got, and make it a big one. I'll head them off, you catch up.
Hamon ordered the hounds to take him to the horses. They sped up, hungry for mutilation. Hamon let out a whistle, calling a few more hounds to his side. When he got to the horses, he had the cart stop right in front of them.
Well now, if it isn't some Kia Shing trash. I thought you all would crawl into your beds and cry.
-
Raithen
Raithen pondered for a moment, them he used his powers to pull up all the ingredients for a flesh Drake. He quickly placed together the skeletal structure, then slowly placed a layer of flesh onto the skeletal Drake. Once that was done, the large Drake burst into the air, and Raithen spurred his heels into the skeletal horse, charging towards the direction Hamon went.
Kyra
Muddy looked at the man, then shouted,
Where's Raithen you monster?!
-
Vixon: What the....That is the guy that invaded our village....
Anger growing inside him he puts his hand on his sword getting ready for a fight.
Siren: This guy has a very evil aura on him please be careful...
(Whispering up to Vixon)
---------------------------------------------------------
Hellion the Soulless
Immediately seeing Hamon approach he quickly muttered another spell and had his army stop before it came in range to be seen.
"Iri' Ni" "Halt"
Looking up as Hamon arrives...He can see how powerful he is...Knowing he is quite outmatched without his minions he makes sure he stays in the back for the moment.
-
Alyx sees the guy and gets off the horse, taking the axe from behind her back
"Everyone, go on ahead.."
she glares at him getting ready
"I will take care of him and follow when done."
-
The hounds were ready to attack.
Not now you fools. Stand down!
The hounds stopped growling, and took a seat.
You assume I'm going to attack you, and I might have done that from the moment I heard your horses, but there seems to be an issue of size. I have my hounds, but I'm sure you'll dispatch them in no time, and I have no spell to directly attack you.
Hamon takes a seat with the hounds, still blocking the road.
I am merely waiting for someone to aid me. You may know him...
He motioned at the white haired girl with the hawk.
I think that's him now.
The sound of flapping wings and hooves made Hamon smile.
(Now enter, memory wiped necromancer and his pet dragon of death)
-
Raithen
Raithen quickly reached Hamon and rode up beside him on his skeletal horse with the flesh Drake flying above him. He sees a small group of people screaming at his master and he draws his sword and shield, then points the sword at the group.
On your command master.
Kyra
What do you mean I might know him?
Rioku flew high in the air above her, and she looked confused. When Raithen approached she was even more confused.
-
(No reply from other character?)
No mercy, Raithen. This is your next test.
Hamon wanted to test Rykan's theory that Raithen's love for Kai Shung may snap him back. If anything, Hamon could just order a retreat and Raithen would follow no questions asked. If he attacked, then this would be a fun thing to watch.
-
me-Wait, what's happening, somethings different about you Raithen.
I look closer.
me-Did you get a new haircut?
He was obviously not himself and the best remedy for that is to knock him out. Time to use my ninja skills. ( He hasth been trained.) I flexed my knuckles and rolled my head around.
-
(It find't post Kyra's part for some reason.)
Raithen looked at his master and nodded, then sheathed his sword and asked,
Would you like the flesh Drake to destroy them?
Kyra
Raithen looked at Kyra, beaming at first. When she noticed the horse he rode, the flesh Drake that followed him, and how he listened to and called Hamon his master,
Raithen, how could you betray us, I thought we meant something to you?!
She finished queitly
I thought I meant something to you.
-
One of the hounds blocks the path of the nobility child, growling fiercely.
I wouldn't do that if I were you, his pet might not like that very much.
Hamon pointed to the dragon above them, who seemed to be waiting for a command.
Raithen, have your drake destroy them all, starting with...
He pointed to the slicer haired girl, which he remembered Raithen mentioning before.
her!
-
Raithen
He nodded, and waved for the dragon to destroy the white haired girl. It swooped, opening its jaws to kill her with flames. The flames flew from its mouth and before they could hit the girl, Raithen whispered the word,
Atrosium
The small black swirl formed above the girls head stopping the flames. Raithen sat confused, why did he just save someone he should'be killed?
Kyra
Kyra closed her eyes, anticipating the flames, but they never came. She saw Raithen whisper something and a small black portal stopped the flames. That was dark magic, she thought,
Raithen, how could you agree to a dark magic, such a vile thing?!
-
Alyx gets in front of Kyra and looked at Raithen, glaring at them
"Your starting with me, no one else"
She looked back for a bit at Kyra
"Run... i will deal with this..."
she looked again at Raithen and the dragon
-
I choose who I very damn well want to choose. Raithen, kill the girl I told you to kill, NOW!
Hamon was getting furious, his mark was starting to glow, and his patience was wearing thin. One simple command is all he asked.
-
I unsheathed my sword.
I swear I will sue you, leave miss Cilone.
I slash at the hound, cutting its throat open and blood splatters my face. The smell intoxicates me, I choke and my eyes burn.
Me-You're the only trash here.
I wipe the blood off my face.
-
Vixon looking at Raithen in amazement in the power he attained..
Vixon: Siren please stay by me. This might turn ugly soon and I don't want you getting hurt.
Unsheathing his sword and dismounting.
Vixon: I don't know what you want or why you are here but I am sworn to protect people of Kai Sung. I will not have you killing anyone today!
Keeping in his mind of the giant dragon flying above.
Siren looks over and sees an herb that when grounded up and mixed with a small amount of liquid can become a very potent stink bomb. Jumping off the horse and picking what she can runs to the back and starts grinding it into a powder..
-------------------------------------------------------------
Hellion the Soulless
"C'mon now can't we solve this another way without so much bloodshed?"
Looking up at the dragon terrified of its power and no way to fight it even with his army at the ready to rush in.
Mumbling under his breathe...
"It sure would be nice to have studied attack spells more."
-
Raithen and Kyra
Raithen looked from his master to Kyra, then finally clutched his head in confusion. After a moment of pulling out his hair he shouted
Atrocinum!
And whipped his sword and shield out. His sword blazed to life, glowing with dark flames and he charged at Kyra, swinging his sword in an arc for her neck. Her hair white hair flew behind her head as she looked at Raithen, tears glistening in her eyes as she ducked the sword. She loooked at Hamon with hatreeed then turned to Raithen and whispered to only him,
How could you do this, how could you betray Kai Sung, how could you betray?
She ran to him, wrapping him into an embrace tears streaming down her face and onto his shoulder. He froze, what wa he supposed to do, his master told him to kill her, but his instincts told him to comfort her?
-
Alyx seeying that Raithen was busy with Kyra, she looked at the necromancer ready to strike
"He is the one at fault here, if we deal with him, Raithen will be back to normal"
she lunges at the carriage and swings to destroy one of the wheels
"Your not going anywhere"
-
A hound pounces on the girl.
Oh, but that's where you're wrong. You see, you friend here sold his soul to Siraset, who happens to be my master as well. Destroying me will not bring your friend back, all it will do is send me to my master, who I can ask to return back to the living.
Hamon let's out a laugh.
You obviously have no clue how this form of magic works. Once you sold your soul, you can't get it back.
-
Raithen and Kyra
Kyra clung to Raithen for dear life, not letting him go even as he tried to pry her off. Raithen eventually pried heroff, but by then the spell on his blade had quit, and he sheathed it. He waved for the flesh Drake to leave, and it flew away. Then he turned and in a voice that sounded beyond his years he said aloud,
This will be settled fairly, you shall choose a champion to represent you. If you win, we let you go freely and don't inform lord Rykan of your approach, but if we win, your souls serve us for eternity. You have till the moon rises to the top of the sky tonight to prepare your champion, who shall fight me.
Then Raithen leaped atop the skeletal horse and rode to Hamon, leaving Kyra crying over him as he rode away.
-
(Thinking)
Fool, do you honestly believe they will agree to that?
Hamon looked at his prey and called off the hounds.
As much as I would like to stay and have you gutted by my minions, we have to leave.
Hamon got back into the carriage and sped off. He didn't go in the direction of his cave, but through the trees in case he gets a curious enemy.
I am going to have to send a messenger to Rykan now, they will still make their approach.
-
Raithen
Raithens voice still sounded strange as he rode beside the carriage and spoke to Hamon
Hamon, who are you too defy the commands of I, Mordeon!
His voice echoed through the forest,
Do you honestly think I plan on playing by my word?
He glared at Jim through thee carriage,
Even now, we ride to inform Rykan of my plan, it was just a plot to lure the fool with my spell book out of hiding!
-
Ok, let's get a couple things straight. You are not my master, Siraset is, and if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be back.
Hamon was getting furious.
Not to mention, unlike you, I don't have something inside me that makes me hesitate to kill. Since you are a necromancer, I am not to attack you for mutual reasons, but I'll be damned if you start ordering me around.
They were getting towards the cave, after taking a long detour.
Now, "Mordeon", figure out why you hesitated to kill that girl by cleaning out the cave, while I go and speak with Rykan. The last I checked, you are to listen to me. Or do I need Siraset to take away the boy's soul, and your power in one go.
The carriage stopped in front of the cave and Hamon stepped out, mark glowing brighter than ever.
As long as we share a mark, he can't touch me.
-
Vixon standing there quite confused on what just happened.....
Vixon: Umm what just.....why he......what the? Champion of what? Who do we have to could actually fight on equal grounds with a necromancer?
About that time Siren was finished grinding the herb into a powder and putting it into a piece of cloth to save for later.
Vixon turning around seeing Siren no wheres to be found....Starts to panic..
Vixon: Siren! Siren! Where are you?? (with an elevated voice.)
Siren: Sorry! Sorry! I seen a rather rare herb hehe.
Vixon sighs and gets back on the horse and helps her back on it.
In unison both Vixon and Siren ask.
Vixon/Siren: Alright now what?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hellion the Soulless
"I wonder who he is talking about.....Not many people can stand up to a necromancer when they are prepared for a battle..."
Looking around for a moment. Thinking about what Hamon said about not being able to die...
(Muttering under his breathe not to let the others hear this part.)
"Heh how naive of him and yet he is so experienced.....He does realize if someone kills him and performs and exorcism on the body right then and there its impossible to come back..."
"I suggest we still go to Takima but be extremely cautious this might be a trap."
-
Axyl cuts the hound in half and sees the necromancer and Raithen fly way, she look arround at the others
"We should go back and report, if this is the best option we have, we have to take it"
she then goes to Kyra and gently hugs her gently, petting her
"Its ok... remember, he is being controled, and he didn't hit you, that means he can still control himself .
-
Raithen
Hamon, we need to discuss what is supposed to happen tonight. You musn't inform lord Rykan of the plan because he would never approve.
He stopped,
I shall relinquish control of the boy, he shall have no recollection of the past few moments.
Kyra
Kyras face darkened,
We must prepare for tonight, starting with choosing a champion to combat Raithen.
-
Alright, you failed the test. As punishment, you will be cleaning out the cave. I have to go find some ingredients for a ritual next full moon, so I will be gone for a while.
Hamon has the hounds hide the carriage and his minions cover up the cave entrance with moss and leaves. He sets out on foot to find his ingredients, deciding to just drop whatever the hell just happened.
(He figures Raithen is back to "Normal")
-
Raithen
Raithen smiled, Hamon was a fool! Regardless, he had to get ready for tonights fight. He pulled a pile of bones from the ground, and made several skeletons. He Pointed at the first,
You, find me a suitable weapon, Necromancers do not wield swords!
Then he pointed at the second,
Find me a suit of armor, to keep up appearance place a hawk emblem on it!
Then he pointed at the last two,
Clean this cave!
As the skeletons bustled off to work, Raithen sat down onto the throne made of bones.
-
Zer0 sighed, the struggling, dying man in his hands. He moved his hand from the man;s throat, and up to his mouth, forcing it open. He grinned, and shoved the thick, rope-like intestines down his captive's throat. He forced the man to close his mouth, chew and swallow. " THere. I'm done with you. You can die now"
He dropped the man to the ground, and walked away, to get his coat. He wasn't needed, apparently. They were all tortured. So what. Nothing left to do here.
He picked up the cloak, and looked over at his bloody, dying victim. " I think I'm gonna take you home. I'm not gonna leave you here..."
He looked to his cloak, and grinned. " Once again, I dub you Headbag. Today, you will carry a body. DON'T break."
He scooped the dying prisoner up, and dumped him onto the makeshift bag, and kicked the door open, then left.
Tony was rather relieved to see that Zer0 had come back.
" One hour, you said. I'll be back, you said."
" SHattup."
-
Kyra
KYra looked at the others then whistled, calling Rioku to her. She reached into the bag she kept her medical supplies in and pulled out a piece of parchment, a quill feather, and an ink well full of ink. Carefully removing the lid and placing it beside her she dipped the quill into the ink and wrote,
Daylin,
We were ambushed outside the forest of Kai Sung,
the necromancer responsible for the damage on Kai Sung has taken an apprentice,,
we've been issued a challenge,
we must choose a champion and fight against the apprentice,
any guidance you could offer would be well,
~Kyra
She let the ink dry for a moment, then carefully s not to smear it, she rolled it up and placed it into Rioku's claws whispering,
To Daylin.
The bird gave a loud and prideful 'caw', then shot into the sky like brown arrow. Kyra turned back to the others and said,
Who's going to fight as our champion?
-
Hamon was using the bottom of his staff to write runes into the dirt. Once he was done, he pricked his finger with the staff head's fang, and dropped the blood in the center.
I may not be able to head to Sireset's realm, but I can still contact him.
The runes started to glow purple, And Hamon slammed his staff on the front most one, revealing a type of portal into his master's realm.
Master, I wish to speak with you. It's about Mordeon.
(Blades, control Siraset for me. Remember, he is supposed to be fair to all his contract takers.)
-
Siraset
A voice echoed in the head of Hamon,
what do you wish to discuss about Mordeon, my servant?
Kyra
Kyra looked at the other, then cast a sparing glance at Vixon and Siren,
What we do now is prepare, as muchas I hate to say it, we must not fight with honor. With your approval Alyx, you should face off against Raithen, kill him if you see an opening, f the battle go's south, we shall all intervene and assist.
As she spoke A small brown blur appeared in the sky and a scroll fell into her hands. Rioku landed on her shoulder, and slumped down from exhaustion. She slowly petted him and he 'cooed' in approval. Opening the scroll she read aloud,
Kyra,
The situation is dire and you musn't turn back.
Be wary of this challenge, and use brains not brawns to win the battle.
~Daylin Hakima, leader of Kai Sung
Kyra looked at the others, and an idea struck her,
We need to move fast, darkness approachs. Raithen told us to prepare, never did he say prepare only the warrior. we need to set traps, something to give are warrior a fighting chance, and I know just the thing.
-
Vixon nods at Kyra.
Vixon: Alright lets go.....Now just one more question....Do you know where they will be fighting at?
Siren looks up at Vixon.
Siren: That is a good point. If we are going to be setting traps it would be wise to know where the fight will take place. If you think about it placing a trap where no one walks is pointless.
----------------------------------------------
Hellion the Soulless
"C'mon out guys and fall into formation NOW!"
His army of minions falls into 3 lines of 10...
"My army is at your disposal for setting them up faster. Or distractions they are mere pawns for what I have planned to create"
With an evil smile on his face he looks down and grabs onto his pendent.
"Just a few more and I will have you at my side again my Ultimate creation."
-
Kyra
Kyra looked at Vixon and said,
You might want to help Alyx prepare for battle, as long as she agreed to fight for us. As for were the fight will take place, if their is even an ounce of Raithen left in that necromancer, the fight will take place right here, in this opening we're standing in right now, away from the foliage.
She points out that they're standing in a treeless clearing in the forest.. Then she looks at Siren and said,
If you could help me find the right type of roots for a stink bomb or something, it would be great.
Then she turned to Hellion and said,
Could you have your minions half you minions search for as many vines as they can find, while the other half dig a large pit?
Then she turned to Alyx,
Do you think you're able to fight against Raithen?
-
Vixon: All I could do to help is maybe help refine her fighting abilities....Training partner.
Siren looks at Kyra..
Siren: Well as far as I know there isn't a root that can make a "stink bomb", but there is a rare herb and a fruit that could make it. The herb is pointless to look for because its extremely rare to find..On the other hand there is something called Ginkgo fruit. It has a very very foul smell to it and can be created into one.
Taking out a small book out of her pouch that she keeps drawings of different roots, herbs, fruits and flowers she has encounted and what they did.
(http://p1cture.it/images/a49317d39919b0707398.jpg) (http://p1cture.it/) (it was the only pic I could find of it lol...just imagine it is a black and white drawing hahaha)
Siren: Here is what it looks like so you know what to look for...It wont be near any villages or cities because well it stinks...
---------------------------------------------------
Hellion the Soulless
"You heard her get to it you sack of ....."
Stopping before he finished.....
"Alright Melee units start digging. Spears go out and find the vines and it wouldn't hurt to kill me something to eat while you are out."
"Alright I am going out to get some wood to make a few Archers if you don't mind."
Mumbling under his breathe.
"It would be nice to have something for better range than spears."
-
Master, I fear he is close to breaking the most sacred law of necromancy. He has issued a challenge to Kai Shung, and they might send a necromancer to battle him. I have told him once that attacking a necromancer is strictly forbidden, but he refuses to listen.
Hamon was feeling a twinge of fear, which only Siraset can make him feel.
I can hope all I want that Kai Shung is not wise to our laws, but even by accident, we could lose the most powerful necromancer there is.
-
Alyx looked at everyone then at kyra as she spoke, and nods
"Sure, i will fight him"
then looks at everyone
"The problem isnt getting traps, the problem is if there are allready traps made by them, you should think of that as well"
-
Kyra
Kyr looked at Alyx then nods,
Siren if you would, will you please go find a Gingko fruit or two?
Then she turned to the minions that were digging the pit, then spoke
That should be deep enough.
As the minions stopped she inspected it, the pit was around six feet deep and four feet wide.
This should do, Alyx I wouldn't worry about traps, they wouldn't have had time to set them.
Then she walked away from the pit and said,
We must hurry, I'll need the fruit and as many vines as possible soon, the sun is getting closer to setting.
Then she whispered to Alyx,
Don't hold back on Raithen on my behalf, if you get the chance kill him.
Raithen
He set up off the throne, the skeletons had cleaned the cave, and on had returned with silver armor, a hawk glistening on the breast plate. The last came bustling through the door, his hands were empty and Raithen bellowed
Were is my weapon!
The skeleton just sat their and Raitehn leaped up and slashed him in half. He'd have to fight with this sword and shield. He sat back on the throne, and gently fell asleep.
Siraset
I hear your complaints, and Kai Sung would do well to send a necromancer to battle him. But I think they shan't, their are not wise to our law, but if not careful, you may still lose the necromancer called Mordeon.
-
Vixon looked at Alyx.
Vixon: Alright Alyx ready to train up a bit? But first Hellion can I ask to borrow a few of your melee minions a few to escort Siren and a few to help Alyx out.
Siren looking a little creeped out being alone with those things....
Siren: Um it's ok I don't need those things following me....
Vixon: I am sorry I would rather be safe than sorry. Or have you forgotten the last time you went into this forest by yourself?
Siren sighs.
Siren: Ok ok...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hellion the Soulless
"Ok for one.....These are warriors not babysitters.....Two if they attack someone its for the kill not practice....Alyx would literally have to fight them for the kill..."
"I can send a few with Siren but there is no telling what they might do....They might kill anything that comes near her..."
Looking at Kyra.
"Well since it seems you have taken over this group I guess it's your call if you want them to do that with each of them...But I must warn you there might be consequences to it."
"At the same time I need some of them to finish my ritual for taking some living souls for my creation I want because well....I am not an offensive Necromancer. More of a strategist."
About that time my Spear minions came back with bunchs of stuff in their hands.....Some had Vines. 5 of them had some Bloody Armor, But lost their spears. One had a clump of dirt..Some of them had assortment of foods. Fruits, Rabbits, A snake.
"Here Vixon since you have nothing to do at the moment you can have these..." (handing him the dead animals.)
Looking one of them that had the fruit..
"Well what do you know Siren you don't have to go after all this idiot actually thought this was edible.."
Holding up the fruit she had in the drawing.
"Can I borrow someones sword right quick? Or could you cut down this mentally unstable Spear minion for me...."
-
Kyra
Kyra smiled, then took the vines from the minion. She walked up to Siren and said,
Do you think if we burn this fruit the smell would travel with the smoke created by a fire? Also Alyx, is their anything you require to prepare for this fight?
-
As much as I would love that pompous fool to die, he has become a new pawn in my plan for revenge. I will contact with new details when I can.
Hamon closed the portal and returned to his cave. When he seen Mordeon lounging on his throne, he became furious.
This is an outrage! How dare you seat in any of my thrones without my consent!
He also noticed his minions waiting on hand and foot for this wretch.
Cease what you all are doing. I am your master, not him. All of you, OUT! I have to speak with my "apprentice."
-
Raithen
Raithen sat up and got off the throne, he was now in a full body suit of armor, the breast plate a glistening silver, and a large hawk emblem resided right above his heart. The metal leggings made a clank sound as he walked on the cave floorr, but the helmet of the suit was thrown to the side, his face armorless, along with his hands so his contract symbol was visible. His sword was sheathed around his waist, and the shield was strapped to his back, with dark black tresses of hair falling into his red eyes.
You wish to speak with me master?
Kyra
Kyra was biting her nails, she was nervous and upset. They didn't have the supplies for proper traps, and if she showed them her ace in the hole it was almost an indefinite death for Raithen. Finally she sighed, and a few tears escaped he reyes, damping the white strands of her that touched her cheeks. She rummaged in her medicine bag and pulled out two glass container, each held a different colored powder. She carefuly opened the latch of the purple powdered on and said,
We don't have the supplies for any type of proper traps, so we might as well abadoon that idea, but I do have something that will give us an edge.
She pointed at the container with the purple powder,
That is a secet known to few healers, it is the roots of a plant called Karamlik, also known as darkness. all you've got to do is put a litte powder on your weapon, and give your opponent a substantial cut, and within hours he will be incapicitated.
She pointed to the green powder bottle,
The only known cure for this poison is the root of the Tumaini plant, it is more common than the poison, but still rare.
She looked at Alyx and said,
I have enough of it to add it to your axe, but it will completely deplete my stash. The plant is uncommon, and chances are i'll never find another. But we need to win this duel for Kai Sung, so if you would please give me your axe Alyx?
-
Are you Raithen, or are you Mordeon?
Hamon figured talking to the one that is most troublesome would be more beneficial. For the most part, Raithen obeys orders and never talks back. Mordeon, on the other hand, acts like an adolescent with authority issues. Hamon would have to pick and choose his battles with Mordeon.
I need to know.
-
Raithen
Sir i'm Raith-
His voice caught in his throat, and the sound of it changed.
You wish to speak to me, it is Mordeon.
He crossed his arms and tapped his foot.
I don't have all day here, the sun is beginning to set and I have a duel to attend./color]
-
Alright, much better. I don't know what you're playing at, or why you choose to defy me, but no one, ancient necromancer nor even Siraset himself, takes a nap in any of my thrones without my permission.
And another thing, I don't particularly like the fact that you used my minions, that I worked hard to make only to have your body have to replace them, to do the work I ordered you to do, and to retrieve armor from who knows where. From where I stand, that body you're using is still my apprentice, whether you like it or not.
Hamon moves Mordeon aside and takes a seat.
You are extremely lucky that I can't take violent action against you like a normal person, out of mutual respect for necromancer law. By the way, did you ever consider that they will send a necromancer to fight a necromancer? If they do, you can't fight him, you would need to hold a contest between your strongest minions, and not kill the other necromancer.
-
Raithen
I'm well aware of the problem, but the only necromancer present was not skilled in offense or he would have challenged me when we were their.
He looked now the appreentice shall once again reappear, but at the battle, i'll be in control.
Raithens eyes flashed, and then he voiced,
What do you need my liege?
-
Go practice with your blade for a few. You're going to need it later.
Hamon grabbed a hold of his staff, and a thought flashed in his head. How about he give Mordeon a bad time for the duel later.
And go place my staff in my chambers for me. There is a special shelf to put it on, and I don't like to carry it with me the whole time.
He held the staff outward for Raithen to retrieve it, knowing full well that the staff obeys no one but Hamon.
-
Raithen
Raithen nodded, and reached his hand out to take the staff. As he reached out his hand and it enclosed on the staff, it fell from his grip almost instantly. Clutching his right hand in pain, with blood coming from his hand, Mordeon took control.
You fool, would this not be considered a attack on a fellow user of the dark arts?!
The hands with out the mark was bleeding, and he raised his un-injured hand.
Give me one good reason not to attack you.
(Tell me if I need to change Cortex.)
-
Quite simple. I didn't attack you.
The staff rose from the ground and glared at Mordeon.
I never made this staff. It was a gift from a wandering enchanter, in thanks of vanquishing a foe for him. The staff's loyalty knows nothing of our laws, and is therefore excluded from it.
The staff returned to its master's hand.
I also needed a reason to prevent you from getting any ideas. Go ahead, strike me if you wish to face the consequences.
Hamon showed off a smug grin.
-
Raithen
If that's the case, then I could strike you with this sword. It was made by a blacksmith and gifted to this ignorant boy, it knows nothing of our laws. But I cannot fight you, I must prepare.
With that he spun around and leaned against a cave wall, trying to stop the flow of blood coming from his hand.
-
Siren looking at Kyra.
Siren: I haven't ever tried that with this stuff before..So I couldn't really tell you if it would work or not..As for those roots I heard my parents talking about something that sounded like that but I don't know much about it. I hope it works...
Vixon: I hate it when you talk about poisons...That stuff creeps me out to die like that..
Siren just chuckles.
Siren: Don't worry I know the antidotes for most poisons.
Sticking her tongue out at Vixon to get his mind off it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hellion the Soulless
"Well since that wont work the traps I mean I am getting quite bored of seeing my minions just stand around doing nothing I think I will pay a visit to a small Takima Village to pass the time."
"Fall back inline....We are heading out to gather....umm "materials" for a creation.."" I might not be great at offense but doesn't mean my minions aren't"
Directing his horse to go down the road a bit further.
-
Think what you wish then.
Hamon got a good chuckle out of this necromancer's ignorance. Hopefully he would have a bigger laugh tonight.
Now, why don't you run along and get prepared for you battle.
-
Raithen
Raithen sighed, his ahdn had stopped bleeding, but it still ached. He looked at Hamon and replied,
I am prepared for the duel, I'm just waiting for nightfall.
Then he stood, dusting off his armor. He looked at HAmon and said,
And what were you up to well you were gone?
-
It doesn't matter what I was doing.
Hamon leaned in his throne, and recalled his minions back in. He got his usual cup of tea and starting to drink, as well as some fruit from the forest.
Are you hungry? They will bring you anything you wish.

"Fuuuuu..."
Zer0 scratched his head. He should've brought his map. Which way was Kai Sung? He hovered over the ground, wings tilted a bit. He wasn't high enough. After flying a few seconds, he finally gave up on looking. It had been a long time since he had gone in the direction. He sighed, and landed in the forest. He had no clue where the town was. He'd just continue on foot. Upon looking up, he noticed a treehouse carefully concealed in the branches.
"Hm. What the heck is that doing up there?"
He climbed the tree, and knocked on the door a few times, but with no answer but a loud snoring noise. "That's louder than you," 02 said, with an amused look in his eye.
"Shaddup you. At least I CAN snore. You don't even have a nose!"
He raised his foot, and slammed it into the door, knocking it down. "Hey! Who's in here? Show youself!"
The covers on the bed in the center of the room moved, and a girl sat up. She wore only a blue nightgown.
" Oh. It's a girl. I...uh.." He looked away, a bit flustered.
" Impossiderp, you moron. It's a boy."
" I don't need your sarcasm, you parasite."
-
I half-woke up to the sound of wood splintering and breaking. I looked up through my halfway-open eyes, still mostly asleep, and saw a man-type-thing with wings, an eye on his chest, stitches all over his face and his arm, etc, etc..... I sat up, shocked, and for some reason my half asleep brain thought it was a good idea to say "'Ello, sir. Would you like some tea?" Then I glanced at him again and remembered he wasn't supposed to be in my house. In fact, nobody had been there since.... ever. "WHY ARE YOU IN MY HOUSE?!?!?!?!" I grabbed my wand from under my pilow and held it ready in case he attacked or did anything else weird. I wasn't sure what to think of him, especially with his strange looks and... was he TALKING to the eye on his chest??
-
Zer0's face turned even redder. " I-uh...I-I-I..." He frowned, and walked forward, trying to keep his eyes off the woman offering him tea. She did a double take, and looked at him now, wand extended. So, she was a sorcerer. Or, a Necromancer?
He scowled, and moved his hair, to cover his face a bit. He was blushing hard, and not only that, but he was a bit pissed that she was pointing a STICK at her. Right after offering him something to drink, too. " Hey, watch where you're pointing that. You could poke me in the...well...eye," 02 hissed, irritably.
Zer0 put his hands up, and gave her a frustrated growl. " Look, woman. I didn't know you were here, O-Okay?"
He narrowed his eyes, but he remained very tense, stepping forward.
-
"I-uh...I-I-I..."
He looked pretty angry, so I kept the wand pointed at him.
"Look, woman. I didn't know you were here, O-Okay?"
He started moving toward me, so I summoned my batfish army. They flew around me in a cloud, all fourty-two of them snarling at the intruder.
-
Hellion the Soulless
Not getting a response from anyone I decide to go ahead and use my army for what they was created for..
"Alright....Forward!"
(Marching down the road behind Hellion.)
Eventually seeing a road that offshoots the main one.
"Hmmm I wonder to which village this leads to."
Taking the small road and signalling for the army to branch off into the woods . Using a thin scouting pattern.
Finally reaching a very small village with looked like to have very little guards..
"Well now this doesn't seem worth it." "Wonder if there is even enough people in this village to get enough souls for my ritual."
Looking around the minions not even in a formation...
*sighs*
"Fall in line you maggots spears upfront 5 rows! Prepare for battle!"
Taking a deep breathe.
"Capture as many as you can but make sure they are hurt!" "I can only steal their soul if they are weak."
"Charge! Annihilate this village!"
In a fast pace the minions start to charge towards the town. Several guards noticing what was happening and sounded for the villagers to take cover. Several people taking up arms to try and fend them off. But it was no use. The melee units were superior at fighting then them. A few of the spears got destroyed. Leaving me with 8 left. After the short fight they captured quite a few of the villagers after killing the guards. Walking into the village smiling out how well they performed.
"Very nice work my friends very nice indeed."
Going up to each minion who captured someone.
"Ro Ni' Hai lock!" In a deep evil voice as I touch them with the pendent. Instantly they turn blue in the face and their soul gets sucked into the pendent.
19 villagers....
"Gah not enough seriously?? How bad can my luck get!"
Throwing a jug against one of the walls smashing against it. About that time one of the guards moved a bit.
"Oh how nice he wasn't dead yet. Maybe my luck isn't so bad after all!" "Sorry for this...Oh wait never mind hahahahahaha!"
"Ro Ni' Hai Lock!" Sucking his soul into the pendent.
"I guess that shall do..I will go inform the others where I will be heading and what I will be doing now that the "Bad" part is over with."
Heading back to the main road with what was left of my army and eventually making it back to the group.
"Well I see you guys still aren't sure what you are going to do. So I will tell you what I am going to do. I am heading to the mountains for a short time. With my minions and will be creating something of magnificent proportions. Be ready to be in shock when I return!"
Heading off the road heading north towards the mountains. Quite some time later. Finding a nice pile of boulders to start the ritual with.
"Perfect"
Pricking his fingers to get blood to make the marks around the stones for the combination of Living and damned souls to mix into the stones. Once it was done I sat down in the middle and started chanting.
"Marionette! Eln ni' en Fe'na!"
"white is the colour of bone and ash
to speak to the dead we bathe and fast
red is the colour of blood and death
we rub the bones and give them breath
black is the colour of womb and tomb
we sit in the dark to leave the room
now take these souls into blight
so these stones can stand and fight!"
Having to repeat this several times in order to get enough souls to perfectly mix right into the stones in order for it to come to life!
(When the time change comes it will be complete I guess.)
-
Raithen
Raithen sighed, and walked out of the cave telling Hamon,
I shall return when the moon peaks the sky.
Then he exited the cave, the light throbbing from the wound on his hand was annoying, but bearable. He saw a pile of bones outside of Hamons layer, brown with age. Focusing for a moment, three skeletons were summoned and Raitgen ordered them to follow him. He found a clearing made up of trees long dead, and he commanded two of the skeletons too stand guard. The last followed him and Raithen commanded,
Spar with me.
The skeleton raised the halbard he wielded and charged. On instinct, Raithens shield and sword was in his hands. The halbard whistled harmlessly over his head as he ducked and rolled to the side, imbedding the spear point of the axe like spear deep into a dead oak tree. As the skeleton struggled to pull the weapon out, Raithen leaped back to his feet and bunched his muscles ready for attack. He powerfully dug his he'd into the soil, springing him forward. He slammed his shield into the skeletons body, breaking several bones. Then spinning in an angle he grabbed the skeletons back, throwing him onto the ground. He slammed his sword deep into the ground, sailing through what would have been a rib cage. Then he brought his shield down on the head, completely ground it to dust and creating a small shield imprint into the ground. He got to his feet, then pointed his sword at one of the skeletons standing guard,
You, spar with me.
-
Hamon got up to make some more minions, and maybe a titan.
He ruined my defenses, if anyone were to attack me, I would have very little chance to succeed.
He went up to his dark alter and called for parts, which he lay out and began to pop in place and singe together. He was muttering a spell while performing this process.
(This may take a while, and interrupting him will result in either being attacked or scolded)
-
Kyra
As Kyra waited for the axe, she saw Hrllion show up and then leave. Ignoring it, she began to prepare the poison. She opened her canteen and poured a small amount of liquid into the jar. Once that was done she attached the canteen to her waist, and removed a small wooden spoon from her medical bag. She began to stir and gradually the purple powder turned into a gooey and thick liquid. She then removed her spoon, and cleaned it using a clothe and water from her canteen. She then carefully placed the spoon back in her bag and removed a small brush. The white thistle of the brush were she's purple as she dipped it into the poison.
The poison is prepared, hand me your axe when you're ready. Also, Tyler if you like, I have just enough to tip your blade with poison as well
-
Tyler
me-Uh, I guess so.
I unsheathed my sword and held it up. Once again I feel very agaisnt the idea of handing over my weapon but I guess no harm would come to it. This whole ordeal is very confusing so I'll just go along with it.
Hayl
After beating that dragon I took a rest, I now feel fully charged. I make sure there are no threats to the forest and then I walk to a small stream. I bend down and take a drink, when satisfied I freeze the water and inside the ice is a salmon, I reach my hand through the ice and pull it out. I gather a few twigs and make a fire. I roast the salmon on a spit.
me-Thank you fish.
When it is nicely cooked I take it and start to eat.
-
Kyra
Kyra carefully grabbed the sword, and placing it on the ground she began to apply the poison. Carefully lifting her brush she traced it around the sharp edges of the blade, leaving a light trail of purple. Then slowly flipping it over she did the same once ag ain with the other side. She carefully handed itt back to him and said,
Be careful, one cut on a foe and your battle is won.
Raithen
The last skeleton lie on the ground defeated and Raithen hadn't even broken a sweat. He decided to head into the forest, and after a while ran into a river. He saw a young man about his age pull a fish from the river and cook and eat it. Mordeon quickly took control, recognizing the aura that came off the individual.
The duel can wait
He whispered, then rushed out of the tree line and drew his sword and shield booming,
Face me Asdis!
-
Hayl
I finish up on the fish and then I hear a call behind me.
?-Face me Asdis
I spun round to see a crazy looking person charging at me, His dark aura wafting around him like a bad breeze. I grabbed my staff.
me-I must purify the darkness Yskine!
I shoot a freezing bolt at the person.
-
Raithen
Raithen knew he needed to conserve his strength if he planned on winning the duel, so he didn't use his most powerful spell or summon any undead. Instead he whispered,
Atrateum
ANd a black bolt of power flew from his hands colliding with the ice bolt and causing them both to stop in an explosion of power. Shaking his head from the explosion Raithen charged again, and once he was in range he swung his sword in an arc at the mans neck.
-
me-Swords are for cheaters, ystemora!
A barrier of ice takes the blow and a small crack is made by the sword. I whisper out the words.
me-Yskat.
The snow obscures me from view and I dart from place to place.
me-I'm over here... No I'm over here... Wait I'm over here now.
-
Raithen
Raithen swoe, then whispered the word,
Atrocinum
His sword blazed to life with black fire, lighting a path and melting any snow that got near him. He charged at the obscured image of the man shouting,
Die Asdis!
-
me-Who the hell is Asdis, maybe you're killing the wrong guy here.
The blade just skins my arm and small drops of blood fall, they crystalize and shatter before they touch the ground. the skin around there burns.
me-Maybe I should take this down a notch.
The snow starts to buffet and push, I feel myself slowly drain. Nothing I can't handle.
me-You're in my territory now, Yskine!
The bolt shoots, camoflaged by the snow.
-
The bolt hits Raithens shield, knocking from his hands. HE scowls as the snow fall around him and says,
No, your in mine!
He activates the flames, and feels how it taxed him, he closes his eyes searching the ground, and finds enough bones for a few skeletons. Quickly pulling the bones up, he created four skeletons, eached armed with a halbard, and commanded them each to find the sorcer. As they each ran off in a direction, he prepared his sword, in case the sorcerer tried to sneak up on him.
-
Efialtes
Efialtes sat there for like, who knows how long.Sooooo...your just gonna sit there like statues? FINE.
He gets up with his kitten and starts to walk away. THEN A FIRETRUCKING TITAN THING COMES CRASHING THROUGH! oh and five takima warriors.
OH YOU HAVE GOTTA BE!
He then. RUNS.LIKE. HECK. he starts running and once he's a good bit away he sits down.I have no idea what just happened..
He sudenlly feels something scratch him very hard on his arm.OUCH!
he quickly pulls out a medical kit and starts tending to his wound. he then notices, his cat is gone.. He finishes tending to his large scratch marks,and gets back up worried.SNIPEEER! WHERE'D YOU GO!?(don't ask about the name >.>)
He starts running around frantically looking for sniper.
Leeta.
But I just got here..whatever.
She ran from where she had been around kai-sung, she went into the forest, she found a boy resting.
Prey...
She had a evil grin. that could disturb ALL THE THINGS. she scratches the boy, and grabs his kitteh, she climbs a tree and starts petting the kitteh.Mroow...(Hello kitten.)
Mroooow(why did you take me from my friend?)
Mrow mrew.(Because he's evil kai sung.)
Mrow mrew meooow.(He's neutral. he heals ALL the sides.)
Mrow.(oh.)
She looks down and he heard the meowing and is staring up at the top of the tree.can I has sniper back? and why did you take him?
((tell me if I need to change anything))
-
There, that's the last of my available parts.
In this whole time, Hamon managed to make five zombies, eight skeletons, and four flesh hounds. He wasn't the least bit tired and had them all stationed around the cave to replace his defenses, and a few to entourage with him.
You three, come with me, we're heading to Takima for a break. I'm in the mood for cake. The rest of you, continue your rounds, and make sure the princess is well.
Two skeletons and a zombie followed Hamon to his carriage, where he left a note with the guard at the entrance.
Gone to Takima. Do not mess up my guards, they have been given specific instructions. I am out of body parts as well, so you'll need to find some to make your own. Will be back by sunset.
-Hamon
Make sure my apprentice gets that. And inform the others that they are not to follow any of his orders.
Hamon got into the carriage with his guards and was on his way.
-
GM post @ Cortex
As the necromancers carriage approached the wall, a guard posted on top of the stone wall the surrounded Takima spotted him. Aiming his long bow made of oak, he shouted,
Who goes their?
Upon hearing this several others archer upon the wall aimed their bows at him, and the two guards posted at the gate crossed their large double edged battle axes in an X blocking the gate, and you could havve heard a pin drop as they awaited his answer.
-
It's Hamon you morons. You can't tell that this is one of my flesh hounds pulling this thing?
Hamon was going to have these guys fired, he is the whole reason they were able to infiltrate Kai Shung, and to not be able to tell it's his carriage was just disrespectful. All he wanted was just a bit of cake, not a damn gate to be ready to strike.
-
Vixon: Siren stay here for a bit I am going out to get some firewood for us.
Heading out into the woods picking up several branches and putting them into a pile. Eventually having enough for a decent fire.
Taking the animals Hellion gave him. He cleaned them up and started roasting them on a spit over the fire.
Vixon: Ah this should make a nice little meal before long.
Looking at Siren motioning for her to come sit with him next to the fire.
-
GM post @ Cortex
The guards stiffened when they found out who it was. In an instant, the weapons had been pointed else where, and the gates had been opened allowing passage.
GM post @ Meowth
A loud roar splits the air, and a large dog like figure burst from the trees. It's long dirty yellow fangs dripped with saliva, and its light black fur and blood red eyes made it seem very predatory. It roared once again and then charged the two humanoid figures that it saw.
(It's basically a large saber tooth tiger, but thicker and mire dog like.)
-
Hamon had the carriage move forward, and as soon as he was able to see a guard out the window, he glared at him while the mark on his head glowed, giving the man a sense of doom. The carriage went down the street for a bit before stopping in front of a bakery. Hamon stepped out of the vehicle along with his guards.
Keep an eye out for thieves. Don't kill, just scare him off.
Hamon went inside with his minions.
Hello, Jenna, one slice of your strawberry filled lemeon cake.
The woman, knowing Hamon's reputation for being both a necromancer, and a gentleman, felt both terrified and fascinated at his request, and quickly got his a plate. He dropped enough money on the counter for the sweet and proceeded to an outside table to enjoy it.
This could be a little sweeter, but it's better than what I get in the woods.
-
BOTH.
The cat girl after seeing this and hearing from the kitten that the boy is neutral grabs him and they start running as fast as they can.
May I ask what just happened?!
I really don't know,giant dog thing, run.
as they were running it caught up to them, and tried to bite leeta, she managed to move so only her sleeve was caught by the fangs.
I liked this dress too, and since we can't outrun it, lets fight it.
Efialtes climbed a tree and went through his medical stuff.
Do I have anything here that can if not used correctly kill it? well, it will be being used correctly but..
He continued to look through his stuff while leeta tried to dodge what it was doing, and trying to land a hit on it..
((Tell me if I need to change anything.))
-
Axyl look at Kyra and hands her her Axe and two of her daggers
"there you go, make it snappy,"
she smiles to Kyra
"lets make this in our favor"
-
Kyra
Kyra took the weapons and began to work, she carefuly applied poison to both the tips of the daggers saying,
I only have enough to add poison to the tips of those.
Then she took the battle axe onto her crossed legs and pulled the jar of poison closer. She carefully dipped the white brush in and slowly, but surely applied poison to the left edge. She gave it a moment to set, then she slowly flipped it over and began slathering poison onto the right edge. After a moment it was complete and she slowly handed the axe back to Alyx as well.
One substantial cut and the battle is won, remember that.
Then she stood up and placed the cap back onto her now empty container, followed suit by the antidote which she would keep. She carefully cleaned the brush with what was left of the water from the canteen , and then put it back in her bag. She looked around at the others and said,
I propose we get some rest until tonight when the moon touches the peak of the sky.
-
Axyl takes the weapons back and puts them on her again
"your right"
she looks arround
"get some rest, i will stand watch"
-
me-You make me sick.
One of the fumbling skeletons grab my arm and I quickly and quietly cast a barrier around the skeleton, it makes noise but it is blocked by the ice. It strikes at the ice making small chips. I lower the temperature in the barrier and when it was freezing I released the barrier and shattered the skeleton. My power was draining quickly, I'll have to escape. I'll leave him a suprise.
me-Ysgyahara!
My eyes droop and my bones strain, my legs tremble and I feel very weak. A portal appears in front of me and out steps an ice elemental.
me-Hold him off.
I run off in the direction of the forest border and when I can't hold up the snow any longer I release the spell. My muscles ached as I ran and my heart thumped quickly. I climb a tree and when I feel that I'm safely out of view I fall asleep.
-
Raithen swore, then whispered the word,
Atrocinum.
His sword blazed to life and he felt it slowly sucking away his power. The ice elemental roared, saliva flying his outh and showing impressive canine like fangs. Raithen knew he'd need help, and he summoned the last if the bones from the ground elow him. Whispering a tinkering for a second, the pile of bones where transformed into a skeleton holding an old cross bow.
Aim for its eyes!
The skeleton began firing, aand imbedded an arrow into a groove of skin right beside the eye of the elemental. Bellowing in rage the elemental pulled a large log off the green grass beside him and swung. The skeleton fired off one last arrow that reached its mark going into the elementals right eye before he was smashed by the log. Screeching in pain, the elemental placed it left eye on Raithen and sung the log. Rithen just managed to roll out of the way as the log hit the ground, creating a large crater. Whispering the word,
Atrosium.
A small lack hole formed under the let foot of the beast, stoppin it from moving, and Raithen charged, climbing up the elemantals back he stabbedi it in the neck, with the flaming sword. Bellowing in pain the giant tried to shake him off. Raithen clung tight, then raised his sword and struck the finishing blw, imbedding his flaming blade into the skull of the beast. With and llast cry the beast fell to the ground dead, and Raithens word stopped flaming. Whispering,
Just a quick rest.
Raithen passed out against a tree his energy thoroughly gone.
-
Some flesh hounds who were still on the hunt for materials noticed Raithen, and ran off to a nearby flesh titan to retrieve him. When the flesh titan noticed the boy, he picked him up and headed for the cave. He placed the body at the entrance, and the guards signaled to have him moved to his bed, and handed off the note for Raithen that Hamon left for him. Raithen was placed down and skeleton stood guard, note in hand.
(If people are wondering why, blades said I could.)
-
Raithen
Raithen awoke groggily, the memory of fighing the elemantal coming back to him. Probing himself for a moment, he realized that he had only recoveed a litle of is energy, physially he felt fine othe than is injured hand, but magically he felt depleted. Sitting up, a skeleton handed him a note and stood to attention once again.
So he went out ?
Standing up Raithen noticed his armor lying in the corner of the room. He quickly slid it on, then sheathed his sword in the in the leather holster that went across his back, last he strapped his shield over his swod on his back, an sworewhen he looked outside. The sun wasn't visible and the moon was close to peaking. He quickly found his seletal horse and mounted it, spurring it out of the cave, galloping towards the clearing.
GM post @ Meowth
The saber-dog chased them untill the sun set and the moon beganto peak. Finally it eft whenit smelled blood coming from the west. It eft leaving the children relatively unharmed
-
Hamon, who sat pondering for a while, decided to he would just head back to the cave, since everyone was either too afraid or too fascinated to approach him. He piled into the carriage with his guards and was on his way.
A sweet treat was all I needed after all that craziness with Raithen.
He would reach the cave eventually.
-
Raithen
Raithen's hair whipped around, blown by the wind and his armor gleamed as the moonlight hit him, the hawk on his breast plate looking fearsome and powerful. His demonic red eyes seemed to blaze a path through the foliage and under growth. The only sound heard was the distant animmals scuffling round and skeltal hooves hitting the earth. He slammed into the clearing, the horse rearing up on his hind legs and giving a deathly whinny, he could see the group from earlier and the moment his eyes reached the white haired girl something stirred inside of Raithen and began fightng for control, Raithen mentaly boomed inside hs head,
You shan't have control!
The stuggling conscious was slammed into the backof his mind and Raithen once again turned to the group.
Champion, venture forth and face me.
Kyra
Kyra was stirred awake by a shouting voice she knew by heart. She raised her head to smile at Raithen, then reality came rushing back too her. The Raithen she knew and loved was gone, replaced by the beast before her. Looking at Alyx she whispered,
You ready for this, when you start to duel the others and I will venture forth, make no mistakes and catch up to us when you can.
Then she stood getting ready to leave.
-
Hellion the Soulless
Finally when the moon rose in the sky the ritual was complete...You could hear the stones start to crack and burst into form needed to make the giant.
"Finally my friend I welcome you back to my side!"
The Rock Golem moans as it stands up for the first time. Looking down at Hellion waiting for a command.
"Alright I am rather tired please pick my up and put me on your shoulder we have a fight to go and watch and make sure goes ok."
"Be gentle you big buffoon last time you broke my arm picking me up!"
Picking Hellion up and setting him on his shoulder to rest. The rock golem began to walk in the direction Hellion pointed.
Arriving just after Raithen did. You could feel the ground shake a bit from the immense weight of the golem.
"Well I am back and I brought a pet hah!"
Looking back down at my spear units I see they are still holding those pieces of armor..
"Oh I almost forgot about those...."
"Set them on the ground for me I will make them into melee units." (3 pairs.)
"Marionette...Eln ni' en Fe'na!"
Souls poor into each of them and come to life.
"Alright time to see what happens."
-
Alyx nods and looks at Kyra
"dont worry, i will keep my promise to you"
she smiles as she turns to Raithen
" im your so called champion Raithen, if your still sure that you want to fight me, come on and try to hit me."
-
Raithen
Raithen slowly dismounted the horse, who rode away the minute he was on the ground. He reached behind his back and with his right hand he drew his sword and with his injured left he drew his shield. Shield and sword in hand and armor glistenig he quickly side stepped and swung his sword in an arc at Alyxs neck.
Kyra
As the fight began she turned Tyler, Hellion and his golem, Siren, and Vixon.
Are you guys ready to go, we'll meet up wih Alyx after she takes care of the duel. Right now we need to get to Takima.
-
Alyx sees Raithen getting closer and swinging, then quickly she lifts her axe up from ther back and turns a bit, back to his sword and blocks it
"If you want to try to hit me without even saying hello, then you wont at all"
she quickly backs away as she holds her long and heavy axe on one hand,looking at him
"Now its my turn"
she handles the axe at the bottom of the handle and swings it over head to Raithen quickly.
-
Raithen
Raithen raised his shield and the axe slammed into it, the force of the blow knocking his shield from his injured hand, making him growl in pain. He slowly placed his other hand on the pommel gripping the hilt with both hands. He quickly advanced and threw a strict jab at her stomach.
-
she quickly sidesteps to dodge his jab and gets her dagger with her left hand as she advanced for more close ranged combat
"I promised to bring you back to kyra, and thats what im going to do"
she quickly lunges at him to hit with ehr dagger
-
Raithen
Raithen blocked the blow with the tip of his blade, then danced away saying,
You cant return what is not their, the Raithen that knew the white haired wench is no more, remaining only enough in this body to stop me from kiling her, but soon he wont even be able to do that.
Then he swung his blade in a spiral arc at Alyx.
-
Well im not one to give up or break my promises, so i will bring Raithen back"
She Blocks his swing with her axe and glares at him
"Even if i have to break every single bone in his body"
she pushes him back and spins once to swing with her axe with even more force horizontaly
-
Raithen
Raithen dropped to the ground and the axe barely scraped his, strangely his cheek went numb and began to ache. Ignoring the pain coming from his cheek and his hand Raithen leaped to his feet and picked up his shield from where it had fallen. He growled out,
This ends now.
Then he pointed his sword at the girl and whispered,
Atrateum.
A black bolt shot from the end of his sword and flew at Alyx, he knew his spell wasn't as strong as usual, but he was drained from his fight with the sorcerer.
(Waiting for responses to what Kyra said so you all can leave.)
-
Vixon: Alright Kyra lets go get our mission done...
Siren nods as they both get back on their horse.
Vixon looking back at Alyx.
Vixon: I hope she will be ok.
----------------------------------------------
Hellion the Soulless
"Alright we can go this looks like it will be won shortly." "I wont beable to spy with you guys but I will sit on the treeline and watch from afar and assist if something happens."
"Or I could cause a distraction with whats left of my minions excluding my Golem that is...." "He will only fight on special occasions."
Signalling I am ready to go.
-
Kyra
Kyra nodded at the three, then she mounted her horse. She could feel it's heart beating heavily under the chestnut fur and sinewy muscles, and she could tell it snesed death on Raithen, and was eager to leave. She adjusted the medicine bag on her waist, and turned to Tyler, her snow white hair falling to her waist,
You ready to go?
The horse whinnied impatiently as she asked.
-
Hamon, who was late to see the duel, was having the carriage running as fast as his hounds can pull it, until he came across the battle.
Mordeon, release yourself and bring on your full force. In the name of Master Siraset!
His mark was glowing by the call of his master's name, as a sign that he was going to stand behind Mordeon if anything goes wrong. He stepped out of the carriage to wait it out.
-
Raithen
Raithen glanced back as A carriage pulled into view and Hamon emerged shouting,
Mordeon, release yourself and bring on your full force. In the name of Master Siraset!
Looking back Raithen shouted,
I can't release myself, this fool that somehow became my reincarnation still clings desperately too his body, and with two souls inhabiting one body, my power is weakened. My magic is drained from a choice encounter with Asdis countless hours ago, and from the stinging on my cheek, her blades are poisoned.
-
Hamon had to think fast. He had no idea what type of poison it could be, and he needed to keep this apprentice to stay on Rykan's good side.
Sanguine Furore
A red beam shot out of Hamon's staff and hit Raithen(Mordeon). Since he wasn't dead, he had to give more life force, and could barely stand once the spell was done.
Don't make me regret doing that.
-
Alyx sees the spell going for her and quickly side steps evading it as she glares at him
"your not hitting me with that"
She glares at him as the necromancer comes by and casts a spell on Raithen
"So you cant beat me fairly so you get help midduel? arent you a wuss"
She runs again but this time she jumps and brings her axe down over her head with both hands.
-
Raithen
With new found strength Raithen managed to block the blow with his sword, and then leaped backwards. Looking at her he responded,
Fighting fair, what about your blades being poisoned?
Then he leaped forward and ducked his blade, sending it hurtling towards the girls kneecap.
-
Alyx uses the long handle of the axe to jump over him to land on the other side
"thats a present for Kyra, the one that loves Raithen and wants him back"
She lunges at him
"and i meant mid battle, not before"
She swings for his legs this time
-
Hamon never agreed to a duel, or any of the terms. Instead of standing by to see if his apprentice will win or lose, he decided that he should keep the other Tai Shung half wits busy. He propped himself up with his staff, and spoke into the ear of the flesh hound, which quickly ran off. With a whisper, he said:
It feels good to be bad.
(In other words, no one could hear what he just said.)
-
Raithen (Its Kai Sung, not Kai Shung.)
Raithen swore and leaped backwards, the axes edge barely cutting him and making his leg feel numb. He glared at the girl and said,
I've told you once you wench, the boy known as Raithen is no longer here!
Then he slowly whispered the word,
Atrocinum.
His sword blazed to life, and he could feel it takijg what was left of his energy. Better end this fast, he though and leaped forward swung his sword an arc at the girls neck.
-
While the battle went on, a loud howl was heard, followed by a series of growls. A large group of flesh hounds appeared behind the opposition, and the one that brought them returned to the carriage.
Even if he loses this one, they will not be able to take him with.
He shouted out to his hounds.
Kill them, but leave the fighters alone!
Hamon's guards stood in formation to protect him from harm, and he got into his carriage in case things went south. All he had to wait on was a flesh titan.
Damn me for making them too slow, just last a little longer.
-
Kyra
Kyra looked aound wildly as her stallion whinnied in fear, then drw the Daibo she carried, cracking the whip down she injured a houn, and it growled lunging at her. It knocked her horse out from under her and sent her sprawling, she struggled to sit up, but the hound leaped onto her using its claws to pin her down.
Raithen
Raithens sword stopped mid swing annd the fire extinguished as he watched the scene with Kyra unfold. Shakily his hand rose as he struggled for control. Finally, his hand was raised and his sword was pointed at the flesh hound that was pinning Kyra down.
Atrateum.
A black bolt flew from the tip of his sword and killed the flesh hound.
-
Looking around Vixon could see chaos breaking out all over since hamon showed up....
Drawing out his sword and jumping back off his horse. Ready for the worst!
Vixon: Siren stay on the horse if something bad happens.....You run and don't stop!
Siren starts having tears go down her face fearing the worst...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hellion the Soulless
Looking down at the scene of what hamon was doing...
"Prepare my minions this shall be a very fun night!"
With a quick smile on my face ordering them to fall into lines infront of the Golem.
"Alright my friend let me down from here I don't need to be getting in your way."
The Golem sets me down in front of my units.
"Spears get ready with a volley and be accurate about it!"
-
Alyx was preparing to defend but sees him going to Kyra's rescue
"Looks like your body isnt completly yours, Raithen, fight that guy out of there"
she looks at him
"if you dont i will break all your bones"
-
Kyra and Raithen
Kyra looked shocked as a black bolt ripped apart the flesh hound pinning her. All hell was breaking llose yet she noticed nothing as she locked eyes with Raithen. Fire burned so familarly within his eyes for a second before they glazed and returned to the cold dead look that he wore ever since he'd bbeen captured. She stood stunned as he whispered the word,
Atrocinum.
And his sword blazed to life once again and he swung at Alyx, turning his back to her.
-
The hound on Hamon's carriage sniffed the air, smelling death. The other hounds stopped their attack, and sniffed as well.
Why are you stopping, I said kill them!
The hounds refused to attack, knowing a necromancer was nearby, but couldn't pinpoint it.
No, it's not possible. They are not necromancers, smell them, they don't even agree to our arts.
Still the hounds refused, and dispersed from the group, running in all directions from the duel. Anything to prevent their master from breaking a law. Hamon was furious, and looked at the hound attached to the carriage.
Take me to them, now!
His guards piled in, and the hound brought Hamon over to where he smelled the black arts. Hamon stepped out and look up, seeing a giant rock monster.
If you know what's good for you, you'll show yourself. I can tell that thing is full of souls, which means you're just like me.
Hamon smirked a bit. He had the law behind him this time.
In the meantime, a Flesh Titan was coming ever closer to the battle, but still far off from being noticeable.
-
Hellion the Soulless
Seeing Hamon approaching....
Hamon: "If you know what's good for you, you'll show yourself. I can tell that thing is full of souls, which means you're just like me."
"Hold your fire Spears! Alright alright here I am and obviously I am like you..."
"But I don't use undead bodies.....I think they are really not my style..."
"I don't know what your plan is....But I thought this was supposed to be a 1v1 fight!"
Signalling the Spear Throwers to stand down.
-
It is, but I never agreed to it, nor was I part of the decision, so I am excempt. I guess you picked up on that as well judging by how you're posted to attack at a moments notice. Let me tell you a little secret.
Hamon motioned towards Raithen, who was battling the woman.
That kid down there, he too is a necromancer, which means...
He pointed to Hellion's minions.
You have two choices. Either help him win this due to mutual respect for the dark arts, or leave now and not chance a stray spear skewering him, causing you to be blacklisted from our community.
-
Alyx looked at him then sees him enchanting his sword again
"i guess i got your answer"
she swings her axe as well but to his sword, to make it clash metal with metal
-
(Your post was to short, so this is a sort of penalty)
Gm post @ Aqua
As the blades clashed the poison on the axe burst into flames as it hit the dark fire, and the fire slowly began to spread down the handle.
Raithen
Raithen watche as her axe catches fire and leaps away, sword extended to block if she tried anything. He slowly circled around her, his flaming sword chipping away his energy. He finally lunged at her back, his sword swinging quickly and silently.
-
Hellion the Soulless
"Hey now! That doesn't go well for me either way..."
"How about I just sit here and watch the fight."
"I was only gearing for an attack from your actions...."
Looking at Hamon trying to figure out his game.
"Alright my friend pick me back up so I can watch the fight!"
About that time the Golem reaches down and picks me back up and sets me on his shoulder again.
"I will make one threat on this though....I have sworn my loyalty to Kai Sung and if its to protect them I will sacrifice myself in doing so...Just keep that in mind please."
"But I reserve the right to change my mind if I see a reason to convince me otherwise against Kai Sung..."
-
Don't expect me to be the one to kill you. As much as I hate that wretched place, I can't hate someone who has crafted such fine minions. we should trade techniques sometime.
Hamon turns to watch the battle. Being surrounded by the smell of death made him feel great. He was also taking note of craft in the puppets, and wondering how he could incorporate it into his minions.
-
Hellion the Soulless
Not being able to help but have respect for the man below.
"Maybe we can....maybe we can.."
"If you would like to know I was part of Takima at one point...before I went off to be trained by my master..."
Looking up thinking about that day of what happened between him and his master..
Noticing him studying my minions.
"If you must know they are more of an art than necromancy...well in my opinion they are."
"And also I am pretty sure you noticed my giant friend here...He is my greatest creation."
-
Kind of like my flesh titans. They are not as big as that, but they get the job done. I think I can see one of mine right now.
Hamon pointed out to the distance where his flesh titan was still creeping forward towards the duel, ready to save Raithen at a moments notice.
To construct it takes a great deal of flesh and bone. If one dies, I get set back months, and I can't even reuse any of the material.
-
"Poison is flamable? i got to remenber that"
Alyx sees him circling and sighs
"i guess i have to be serious"
she hands her axe with both hands a and swings horizontaly swinging it at him her flaming axe
-
Hellion the Soulless
"Dang can I relate to that or what...."
"This is only my second Rock Golem I have ever been able to create.."
"The first one well....it was to show my master of my achievements but he got jealous of what I had become..."
Looking off in the distance seeing the flesh titan..
"Quite impressive I must say...But as you said if they die such grief hits me because of how much I had to put into making it."
A single tear goes down my face as I look into such a beautiful creation.
-
Raithen blocks the blow with his blade and as the blades collide the fires morph together and seem to dance, creating a blaze of orange and black fire. Leaping back Raithen could tell he didn't have enough power to keep the fire going for much longer. He quickly extinguished his sword, then looked at Alyx, he released the shield from the strap that held it to his wrist, then hurled it spinning side ways at Alyx. As the sword flew he charged behind it sword raised and at the last second he whispered something and his sword blazed to life as he swung,
I'm sorry for this.
-
Alyx looks at him getting back as she sighs
"are you going to give his body back or not?"
she sees him swinging his shield and sighs
"I guess not..."
she quickly gets both her daggers and throws them at him as she swung her axe over her head to him , letting the shield pass, hitting her but the axe kept going
-
Raithen blocked the axe, then ducked as the daggers sailed over his head. He dropped to the ground and rolled to his shield picking it up he backed away from Alyx and slwoly began to chant under his breath. After several moments a dragon appeared from the skies, the bones coated with a thin layer of flesh as armor and let out a roar.
Allow me to introduce you to my flesh drake.
The dragon let oout a death filled roar and landed on the ground, wrapping his large tail around Raithe protectively.
-
She sighs as she loooks at him
"Well... since this is not a fair duel anymore..."
she grabs her axe with one hand and gets throwing knifes from her sash looking at him
"Lets Dance"
-
That thing will always give me chills. I only heard legends of the undead dragon, and seeing one makes me almost quake in fear.
Hamon smiled a bit as his apprentice brought forth his creation. With the mark on his head beginning to glow, he called off the titan, knowing the drake will save Raithen.
What do you think of my apprentice?
-
Hellion the Soulless
"What do you think of my apprentice?"
"Well seeing that I have never seen an undead dragon before...." "I am not quite sure what to think of him." "Also how on earth is this a fair fight anymore?" "Raithen and a dragon vs a small girl?" "I don't see the honor in this fight from the start..."
"I guess.....We will see what happens...You don't have to worry about me jumping in. Not really in the mood to be hated by everyone just yet."
Looking down at Hamon..
"What will happen if she does get lucky and strikes him down somehow?"
-
The dragon roared and swung it s large tail at Alyx like a whip as Raithen charged at her shield and sword drawn. He quickly Zig zagged with his feet to throw Alyx off, then swung his shield with one arm in a punch. The sword arm was thrown in an arc at Alyxs side and Raithen smiled. He got off on killing, he loved the smell of blood. Well actually Mordeon did, but at the moment they were on and the same.
Now you die.
-
Hamon forgot about it. If Raithen dies, then Raykan will surely have his head.
The drake will save him. I don't think she will be able to kill it, the size is too great. And technically, he said a one on one, so abilities count.
Hamon began to hope his words would not mean his death.
-
Alyx smiles as she sees him coming, she gets something in her pocket and grins
"Now you see me..."
she throws something at the ground that makes a black cloud of smoke appear
"Now you don't"
she throws more arround make almost the area covered in a black cloud of dust and ash
-
The flesh drake burst into the air and flaps it's wings blowing away the smoke and Raithen smiled,
Looks like i'm just too good.
Then he charged at Alyx, the wind rustling his hair in the night sky and his armor glistened. With his sword and shield in hand, he ducked to the ground as he reached her and swung his shield at her knee while thrusting his sword upwards at her chest.The dragon roared and swooped in close to his master ready to assist if anything went wrong.
-
Axyl picks up a throwing knife and stops his sword swing and steps her leg back to escape his shield
"Your not good, your a coward, you dont duel 1 vs 1, you get outside help"
she gets another ash bag and smashes it agaisnt his sword hard to make it blow on his face as she steps back away from him
"You dont fight fair, you are a coward that takes control of another one to brag arround, one such as you will never beat me"
-
Raithen leaped away and rubbed his eyes clearing his vision, then growled out,
You die, it's time for you to meeet my signature spell you wench!
Before he could move his body froze up and he collapsed. The drake let out a roar and swung it's tail making Alyx back off and it scooped up Raithen and flew away.
-
And that is my sign to leave. have a good night, fellow necromancer.
Hamon got into his carriage, and rode off towards the cave. He had to figure out what kind of poison was used, ot else Rykan will put a bounty on his head.
Just my luck, looks like another sleepless night to save an ancient necromancer.
-
Alyx gets knocked back by the tail of the dragon as she looks at him flying away
"Dammit... i let him escape again..."
she suddently falls on her knees and falls on the ground
"Dammit... i endured it too much... he packs a punch..."
she stays not moving on the ground as all the pain from the duel hit her all at once.
-
Raithen
Raithen lye unconscious on the back of his drake as it flew the through the air, its wings amde of bone yellowed with age as it split the air with seemingly easy. Raithen seemed to be mumbling in his sleep repeating the word 'Kyra' over and over. Finally a heart broken screamed filled the cool night air and the words 'why'd you do this to her' followed soon after. His once glistening armor was dull and filled with cuts and his blade was covered in dirt. His shield was lying on his back the once visible hawk smudged with grime. The dragon swooped down, its wings sending up a shower of dirt as it landed and slowly nudged Raithen into the cave, and curled up at the entrance to guard.
Kyra
Kyra watched stunned as the battle unfolded, and when Alyx collapsed she rushed to her side. Quickly bandagin and cleaning all her wounds she rummaged in her bag until she found what she was looking for. The name escaped her but it would help Alyx regain her energy faster, placing it in her mouth she forced Alyx to chew and swallow then told the others,
She'll be fine, just needs a little rest.
-
Hamon gets by the cave, and notices the dragon.
Easy now, my guards will take him to his bed. I'll be back with a healer.
He orders the guards to move Raithen, and then sets off for Takima to find a healer that specializes in poisons. The one thing he wasn't hoping for was Rykan getting word of what happened, or he would be in serious trouble.
When he got to the city gates, he was let in with no problems, mostly thanks to earlier. He decided to head for the capital and let Rykan know that a group from Kai Shung is heading towards Takima. He got inside the building and promptly bowed.
My lord, I have urgent news.
-
Gm post @ Cortex
Rykan sat in his chair with the moon shining through the small window in his office. Hearing Hamon walk in he said,
This urgent news wouldn't have to do with your new apprentice would it?
He seemed to look through Hamon with his golden colored eyes, and he laced his fingers together. The ring with the large green emerald and intricate design of a Destrai on it, that he used to as a source to channel his arcane abilities gleaming and glowing eerily.
-
Alyx looks up at Kyra and gives a faint smile
"Sorry sweety, i couldnt bring him back to you..."
she moves her hand to hold Kyra's hand
"but i promised i would, and will"
-
Not at all, it has to with the Kai Shung trash we intercepted during a training exercise.
Hamon stood up and looked Rykan in the eye.
They are heading this way, probably to pull a counter strike of some sort. However, the group is too few to pull that great of a measure.
Hamon started to pace and think for a minute.
No, attacking with something short of an army is foolish. They must be on their way to spy on us. Get to know the defenses, and the like. That's it, in intelligence mission.
Hamon's mark started to glow, as his anger was getting the best of him.
But why would they send someone with great combat skill as a spy...
And there it was, the dead giveaway that something bad had happened.
-
Looking over what happened Vixon nudges Siren.
Vixon: Hey Siren you might need to go help out on healing her.
Siren nods and hops off the horse.
Siren: Alright I can do that.
With a smile on her face for the love of being able to help others. Running over to her side seeing the bandages she places her hand on them.
Siren: By the gift given to me by my father and mother give me the strength to heal her!
As she finished saying that the pendent started to glow brightly. Enhancing her ability.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Hellion the Soulless
"Well now that isn't what I expected of this. I was hoping at least one of them would die..."
"Oh well nothing for me to do now but nap now."
Laying down on the Golems shoulder.
"Wake me when something happens...."
-
GM post @ Cortex
Rykan's eyes gleamed dangerouusly, and lightning seemed to crack withing them and his ring began to give off a strange humming sound. A small crack of electricity burst from the ring. His voice echoed around the room like a crack of thunder,
What do you mean, how do you know they are skilled in combat, do not lie to me!
Kyra
Kyra smiled, then looked at Siren.
If your attempting to heal her, I don't trust my self at the moment. Her most severe wound would be on her stomach from that shield.
-
Hamon flinched from the sudden spell burst.
You're a Sorceror?!
The mark on his forehead glowed bright, but he calmed down, knowing it is not the time to fight someone who can summon lighting. He simply stood up straight and looked at Rykan with a serious expression.
It was be mere accident. She took down a large chunk of the boy's newly summoned minions. He had a flesh dragon left, so I ordered him to fly back to the cave. I summoned a group of my hounds to keep her distracted and made my escape to warn you.
-
Rykan
Rykan knew he wasn't telling the whole truth, he could sense it but he decuded to let it slide. Looking him dead in the eye he said,
Yes I am a sorcerer, have you never been curious as to how I've never been assasinated with all the attempts? My enemies are shocked when they find out, but surprise is always on my side because none who know liveto fin out. I shall trst you, but f you reveal my secret you die a horribly slow death. Now as of this Kai Sung squad how many were there, what were their skills, and how dd Raithen react?
-
He prefers to be called Modeon. However, the boy seems to be maintaining a strong hold on his body still. As for the group, there were five of them. I had Mordeon leave because he couldn't get a handle on his new body, not to mention his minions were being cut down in front of him.
In the back of Hamon's mind, he could see Raithen about to die. He had to finish this report fast.
The only thing I can say about any of this is that they will be approaching fast, and preparations should be made. I can have some of my minions stationed around the city to work with your guards.
-
Rykan
Rykan shook his head and said,
No, i'll send my personal guards to deal with this.
Then with a wave of his hand six guards heavily armored emerged. Each was covered in blood red armor from head to toe, the breastplates covered by large black Destrai. The largest guard lifted the front of hs helm and said,
What are your wishes liege?
The guard that spoke had a large hammer strapped across his back, the long steel hilt was covered with the intricate design of a death angel and ended with a finely crafted steel square with the edges shaved off. The other guards all wore the same armor, but each wielded a different weapon. One held a long sword, the hilt held the design of a Saber dog, and the blade was long with a double edged joining and razor sharp edges. The next held a long bow made of yew, the string polished to perfection and on his back was a quiver made of fine leather, and filled o the brim with finely crafted feather fledged arrows. The next had two leather strps crossing in an X across his armor, filled with slots that held daggers, the top held long curved ones meant for close range fighting, while the bottom of the straps held small straight daggers meant for throwing. The last warrior held two long swords, the hilt made of pure sillver and the blades double edged and deadly, they were sheathed in two leather straps that crossed in an X on his back.
You are to intercept a group of spies, last spotted near the out skirts of the forest
Then Rykan turned back to Hamon,
You are dismissed, my personal healer wil accompany you to check up on the boy.
With a wave of his hand the healer emerged, ready to leave.
-
Hamon became nervous. He never asked for a healer, so it meant that Rykan new better than to believe his lie. No matter though, he had to hurry. He bowed again and left the building, healer in tow, and headed back to the cave. Hamon couldn't help but stare at them, knowing they will report to Rykan about the boy's condition.
After a while, they came to the cave, but before the went in, Hamon turned to the healer.
I will pay you any amount of gold you wish so long as you do not let Rykan know that this boy was seriously injured. Make up anything, I don't really care.
They both went into the cave to see Raithen.
-
GM post @ Cortex
The healer smiled and said,
I think a hundred gold would seal my lips, now what is wrong with this boy?
The healer young seemngly only in his twenties and wore a worn sandals and a billowing pale cloak. On his hip there was a leather pouch and he had a mop of pale straw colored hair with dazzling silver eyes.
-
Greedy aren't you?
Hamon went over to some of the old items he would store from unsuspecting travelers. He found enough gold to pay off the healer.
Take your money. The boy was poisoned, I'm not sure with what kind, and I'm sure he doesn't have much time. Do everything you can, because your life depends on if he lives.
Hamon's mark glowed again, in an intimidating way.
-
Raithen
The healer took the money and walked over to the boy. As he reached him reached, he pulled out a small needle and began to lower it toward Rauthens skin. Seconds before the needle reached his skin Raithen groggily sat up, and the healer looked at Hamon ad said,
Their ya go good day.
Then he bolted out the entrance and Raithen asked,
Where am I?
-
Siren nods at Kyra.
Siren: Sure she will be healed very shortly. This pendent makes my healing go a lot faster.
She smiles at Alyx.
Siren: No worries I am sure this will all come out for the greater good eventually...
Vixon walks over and starts to think for a moment....
Vixon: Hey Siren now that I think about it when I was cleaning the stables why did it take you so long to heal that man?
Siren just chuckles a little bit. Smiling up at Vixon.
Siren: Hey gave me some tea and cookies I couldn't say no.
Sticking her tongue out at him.
Vixon: Uh huh yea leave me with all the work while you relax. (annoyed look on his face.)
----------------------------------------------------------
Hellion the Soulless
"ZzZzZzZzZzZZZzZz......."
-
Kyra
Kyra sighed then looked at the other, her pupiless eye looking drained.
Get some sleep you all, we'll reach Takima tommorow. I'll take first watch.
She slowly leaned against a tree, her eyes scanning the horizon, she began to ponder the days events.
-
When Raithen wakes up, the healer got out of there with all the gold, and not doing a single thing.
I would have him hunted down, but Rykan would get suspicious.
He walks over to Raithen, a little peeved that he has been alright this whole time.
You're back home. Let Mordeon know that he better be more careful, because he almost had you killed as well.
This was a close call, especially since he knew Rykan was a sorcerer. If he wished, he could have struck down Hamon whenever he pleased. All this time avoiding them like the plague, when he was working for one all these years.
Get some rest, because tomorrow, you're going to work and pay me back the gold that healer ran off with.
Hamon left Raithen to check on the princess, who was sleeping for now. He left her and went to his thrown.
Bring me tea, I have a headache, and I just want to relax.
-
Alyx looks at them and sighs
"thanks you two... but i sitll need some rest... getting all the pain hit at once its hard ..."
she looks at them
you all get some rest as well"
-
Raithen
Rathen looked at Hamon, then rummaged in his waist pouch, pulling out a large bag of gold he didn't remember receiving. He tiredly handed it to Hamon whispering,
That should cove your money and more.
Then he fell back on the cot, promptly falling asleep.
-
Vixon and Siren
"Well if you are hurting try this. It is my last one but hey that is what it's there for."[/color]
Looking in her pouch and taking out a leaflike herb.
"It will help the pain subside a little." "Just chew on it do not swallow it!"
"Alright Siren that is enough I guess she should be fine..."
Siren nods and stands up.
"You are about the only one who needs rest we all just stood by and watched pretty much...."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hellion the Soulless
"ZzZzZzZZzZzZzZ"
Hellion is having a bad dream of his God he made a pact with took away his powers for not helping out a fellow necromancer in need...
In a mumbling voice...
"Please don't I beg.....No I will be bett.......I promise..."
-
Hamon drifted off to sleep after having his tea. He felt safe enough to know his minions could handle any threats, and he was sure Rykan can handle a few spies. He started to have a dream.
Charlette, it's really you. The ritual worked, it worked!
A smile started on Hamon's face while he slept.
-
Kyra
Kyra stood pondering the days event, but more imoptantly thinking about Raithen. How he confused her so, one minute he was trying to kill and the next he was saving her! She didn't know what they had put him through when they captured him, but whatever it was had completely shattered his once strong will power, and left nothing but a cold dead stare behind his once firey red eyes. She knew in her heart she loved him, but she also knew if something didn't change she would have to help kill him, and she wasn't sure she could to that without losing her mind. Strands of snow white hair fell into her porcelian like face, giving the illusion she was a beatiful glass doll, but glass or not nothing could stop the lump of emotions that formed in her chest, or how her breathng became quickl and croaky.
Damn him, why couldn't he have just died in that attack! It would have all been so much simpler than this, but the boy always did like too toy with people.
Her eyes glistened with tears as she stared up at the night sky, each star glistening like a sun itself! She raised her hand to her temples, slowly massaging them as she remembered all the nights just like this spent out by the river that surrounded Kai Sung just sitting beneath the stars with out a care in the world. Lookiing up she saw a small arrow of color zip down and land on her shoulder and she stroked it's ruffled feathers whispering,
Hey Rioku.
she hated him, she hated everything, but most of all she hated the before yesterday, when her life was ruined.
Raithen
Raithen tossed and turned his deams filled with strange time he couldn't remember living.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The sword in his hand flashed in and out weaving a psttern and eliminating guard after guard until he came to the last, who leaped into the air bringing his sword sailing down in an arc and Raithen blocked with one hand and and pinned the man to the ground with the other.
I win.
He stood helping the guard up, then walked out and into a village. He saw the white haired girl rush over and hug him, and was shocked when he felt the words
Kyra.
Come from his lips, then he stroked the hawk on his shoulder and was once again shocked when he whispered,
Good job Rioku.
Soon the world turned dark, and he felt like he was being ripped away from something, it hurt and he screamed and screamed and....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He bolted up in the cot, covered in sweat and screamed, his head ached, his eyes hurt and he felt like something was shredding all his memories because he didn't remember were he was born or anything. He panted and wiped sweat off his forehead, then laid down, taking a painfully long time to drif tback to sleep.
-
Jack
Jack was on a house in Takima, watching the people below. This was going to be his first pinch, and we was looking for someone rich looking, and drunk enough to never notice his claw.
Where, oh where can my drunken friend be? Is he here, is he there, is he passed out by some stairs? Oh where, oh where can he be?
He spotted a man, who just got out of what looked like a pub, staggering down the road, gold sack looking heavy. Jack stayed in pursuit, making his shadow transform into springs, jumping from one roof to the next. Eventually, the man turned down an alley, and Jack made his move, he dropped down, transforming the shadow into a blanket (parachute), and drifted softly behind him. Once on the ground, he had the shadow transform into the claw, and it honed in on the gold bag, snatching it right off the man's belt.
What in the...?
The man turned around only to see someone that resembled a bat, and was too afraid to call the guards.
Thanks for the donation my friend, now if you'll excuse me, I have important business that happens to be not here.
Using the claw to get some leverage, Jack flung himself high into the air, had the shadow stiffen his cape, and he landed safely on a roof, where he made his escape to the north wall of the city, clearing it, and disappearing into the woods while letting out a hearty laugh.
-
Kyra
Kyra awoke to small drops of rain tickling her nose. She quickly scurried under the shelter if the more thick leafed trees and told the other,
You should probably wake up and get out of the rain.
A loud persistent to 'cawing' filled the area and Rioku hrutled down landing on Kyra shoulder. Kyra had seen him act like this before and she knew what it meant. She quietly glanced at the others who were all sleeping and decided she would see who was coming before she woke them. She quietly slipped off into the woods to see who was their.
Raithen
Raithen awoke and his body ached all over. He looked around for some pain herbs or something but found none. Sighing he scrolled Hamon a quick note saying he was going to a tavern, and then layed it in the mans lap. He strolled out of the cave and mounted his skeletal horse, ignoring the annoying rain, and thinking, what better way to ease pain then a few glasses of ale? He rode to the town of Takima quickly, and found a large tavern that he strolled through the doors and sat down by the counter, plopping several gold coins down and dried himself off saying to the bartender,
Four glasses of your strongest ale.
The man slid the large jugs filled with the liquid to him and Raithen began to drink, the vile liquid stinging his throat as he chugged it down.
-
Hamon
Hamon woke up and seen the note.
So, decided to drown your sorrow in ale? So be it, I prefer tea myself.
He yawned deeply and stretched out his limbs. He decided he would go out and find those ingredients for his plan next full moon. He called to his three guards and left the cave, leaving a note behind for Raithen stating that he evacuate his stomach elsewhere, and not to take one step in that cave until he was sober enough to walk straight. He then walked deep into the woods to begin his search.
Jack
Jack sat in a tree, counting his profit from last night.
Twenty-seven gold pieces? I'm do used to sacks of at least seventy pieces. This new country is a strange one.
None the less, he placed the sack in a secure place in the tree, chasing away a couple squirrels, and stood in wait for any bystander, that is, he spotted someone in some fancy looking armor, riding on a skeletal horse.
He is heading back to that city, Probably not the best idea to follow him. Oh well.
He followed, and cleared the wall like before, and stayed on the rooftops until he seen the boy head into a tavern. He was going to play the waiting game.
-
Raithen
Raithen slammed the last glass down, the wooden handle shattering and imbedding splinters deep into his hand. He ignored the slight pain, and began to slowly stand.
Nice looking armor you got their, maybe you should give it too us.
Raithen slowly turned to face the voice, the only visible way too tell he was drunk was a slight hitch in his step.Behind him stood three large and burly men, who Raithen assumed were the ones who had spoken. When Raithen was sober he was light hearted and messed around, but drunk he was serious, deadly, and dangerous.
Yu listening boy, I said give us youuurrrr arrrmmmmooo-
The man was purposely slowing the words down and making it seem like Raithen was deaf, and it irked him to no end, so he did the only thing that would express his feelings in his drunken stupor he punched the man in the face.. A sickening 'crack' reverberated through the tavern as the gauntlet on Raithens hand slammed into the mans face, dropping him to the floor were he stayed, his body unmoving. The mans friends glanced at each other then back at Raithen as they produced four long wicked looking daggers, the hilts finely adorned with carvings of skulls and bones, and swung at Raithen. They found their daggers imbedded deeply into Raithens shield as he whipped it off his back. With the daggers stuck Raithen looked a the two, then delivered a swift kick too one of their stomachs sending them sprawling, then followed up quickly by drawing his sword and slamming it through the stomach of the last amn standing with so much force it lifted him off his feet.The blood slowly ran down Raithens sword as it drifted from the mans sromach, and Raithen slowly placed the mans body back on the floor. He sheathed his blade, and then slowly pulled all four daggers from his shield and placed them in his side bag, decided to see what a merchant would give him for those. He then slowly walked out the door and dissapeared into an alley leaving everyone in the tavern staring.
Kyra
Kyra slowly walked into the forest leaving the others behind her asleep. She quietly walked, Rioku flying in front of her guiding her too were he saw something. She walked into a small clearing where she saw two young children, one who looked like she was part cat. But that was not what caught her attention, behind the children stood five men who seemed to be having a hushed conversattion. Then finally one of them drew a fine looking bow and notched an arrow aiming it at the cat shild, then spoke aloud.
Be you friend or foe?
(Meowth your basically being held at arrow point by the elites of Takima.)
-
Jack
His target appeared. The shield looked like it lost a fight to a bear, and the man was staggering into an alley.
This is almost too easy.
Jack went from roof to roof, keeping him in his sights. When the opportunity arose, he jumped to the ground, just like last night, and procured his shadow claw to grab the man's gold bag. Jack was feeling like this place was full of morons just waiting to be robbed.
-
Raithen
Raithen walked quickly along, but after a few moments he heard a quiet 'thud' and stopped. He slowly turned around and saw a man who looked like a bat sending some kind of shadow claw at him. He quietly raised his hand, then said,
Atrateum
The black bolt flew from his finger tips, leaving behind a slight trail of smoke as it flew at the intruder.
If your trying to find an easy target you should turn around, because you stand no chance in the slightest against me
Then he slowly drew his sword, and grabbed his torn up shield, ready for a fight.
-
Jack spotted the bolt, and ran towards the wall, placing his feet on it and flipping off of it, letting the bolt pass him.
Well, looks like someone wants to play right this time. Let's see you handle this.
His shadow transformed into a wall to block his from view, as he used the last bit to make a spring to jump over and onto a roof, ready to plan his next strike.
-
Raithen
Raithen sighed and in his drunken stupor turned aroun thinking the man had run. He placed his sword on his back along with his shield, then he whistled for his horse deciding to head back to Hamon. The horse came running into the alley, and Raithen mounted it with a little diffiuclty. He spurred his heels into the horses side, and it jolted as if it had been struck by lightning and took off for the cave, approaching the end of the alley quickly. Raithen mumbled under his breath as he rode,
Damn thiefs.
-
Jack was hot on his trail, using the spring force to move further on. He caught up, and launched a claw from above to knock the shield fro his back.
If he wasn't so drunk, he might have not let his guard down easily. Oh well, it's his loss.
He got a sinister smile from this next pinch.
-
Raithen
Raithen felt a slight touch on his back, but ignored it. His shield fell to the ground with a loud echoing 'clang' and Raithens horse skidded to a stop at the noise. Lightning cracked across the sky illuminating his eyes, and his head darted around searching for a culprit. Without finding one he slowly dismounted his horse and began walking toward his shield mumbling,
Damn thing i'll have to get the strap fixed.
HIs armor made a soft thud as his feet hit the ground in a slow continous pattern.
-
Be you friend or foe?
efialtes stepped to the side.
I am neither friend nor foe. I am neutral in this matter. aka, I heal both sides.
Leeta got in a fighting stance.
Yes. I am takima. I am good, you guys are bad.
Efialtes walked behind the soldiers and took out a medical kit.
There is no need for name calling, takima and or kai sung is neither good nor bad. they are merely two different groups dedicated to obtaining different results. and I totally just used one of my mentor's sayings.
she glared at him.
shut up medic.
Leeta was ready to move at any moment, waiting for them to attack. meanwhile efialtes pulled 5 needles form his medical kit.
*in head*Just in case they try to kill her,or she tries to kill them. though less needles will be used if she tries to kill them..
((Say if I need to change anything))
-
Guards
The guard lowered his bow and placed the arrow back in the holster, then looked at the cat girl.
If you are on the side of Takima you are friendly. We are the personal guards of lord Dylan on official business of Talons to defeat a group of warriors from Kao Sung. They should not be far from here and you may either offer your services to destroy them, or you may go to Talons, what be your answer?
-
Leeta gets out of her fighting stance.Oh. I thought you were kai-sung, Why didn't I recognize you..
efialtes put his needles back in the medical kit.
Since maybe you are still groggy from staying up half the night on guard for in case the saber animal thing came back?
Leeta hissed at him.
You do realize I could kill you right now, right?
Efialtes looked around.
where'd sniper go?
He looks around for a few minutes than notices something. there is a purring noise coming from one of the pockets in his coat.
Oh..
Is it okay if I just go to talons? I'd probably mess something up..
efialtes Looked at the warriors.
is it okay if I follow you guys? I would actually like to make it to a battle in time to help someone for once.
-
Guards
Very well. You may go to Talons or as you called it talons, and you may come withus, but I won't give my word that their will be any of our enemies lefy, we fully intend to kill them.
Kyra
Kyra was shocked, someone was coming after them and these people looked dangerous! She scrambled to her feet trying to be quiet, and began to creep towards the camp with Rioku on her shoulder. As she walked to camp she spotted something in a tree, or more intently someone. Quickly scrambling to him she commanded Rioku to scout and alert her if anyone was coming then she set to work, attempting to wake the man up.
(Lubbies she is talking to Hayl.)
-
pulled out his medical kit.
You plan on killing them, eh?
He then pulled out 5 needles, each filled with some "medicine" to make them go to sleep, and then tries to throw one into each of their necks. all the needles miss hit the ground not that far from efialtes.
well. that sucks for me. goodbye.
Efialtes runs into the tree line away from them.
I need to run or find some kai sung and ask for help.
Leeta saw efialtes throw needles at the guards, she ran after him.
You better run, I thought you said you were neutral!
Efialtes turns around and looks at her.
Hey, I am, I just didn't want them to kill the kai-sung!
Leeta glared at him.
If you were neutral You wouldn't have throne the needles at them!
He ran straight into a tree.
I would have done the same thing if it was kai sung attacking-*THUD*
He gets back up. but as he gets back up leeta grabs his head, and pushes it into the tree pretty hard.
...Caught you, you little traitor medic.
he flails his arms.
I HELP BOTH SIDES DANG IT!
((say if I need to change anything.))
-
Jack
Seeing his chance, he sent out the claw once more, grabbing the shield and drawing it to him.
Serves you right. A weak minded fool, even more weak when full of the drink.
He put the shield on, and started to mock Raithen.
Oh, I am a proud magician, warrior man. Let me just drown myself in ale then be on my way.
-
Raithen
Raithen was beyond mad, his eyes glowed illuminated by the lightning and his palm glowed, the mark shining. He did a small chant under his breath and then shouted,
You do not realize with the forces you toy with!
He drew his sword and pointed at the face of the man shouting,
Atrateum!
the black bolt flew from the edge of the sword and at the face of the man, and a beat of wings could be heard in the distance.
Kyra
As she tried to wake the man she realized she had to warn the others, torn between two decisions she improvised. She quickly pulled out a quill, ink well, and parchment. Scrolling down a quick warning she handed the note to Riolku and said,
Give this to Alyx, Siren, Vixon, or Tyler, no one else.
Rioku shot into the sky, heading for their camp.
(Rioku should arrive where you guys are anytime now.)
Guards
As the needles were launched ll drew heir respective weapons, but had no time to use them as both ran away. Looking at each other the leader of the group, the man with the large hammer said,
Aaron, go after them, leave neither alive we can't risk it.
The man with the many knives nidded and an through the trees, tracking the two children and the large man with the hammer said,
Let's kill those scouts from Kai Sung and report back to Lord Rykan.
They nodded and set out.
(Meowth I relinquish control of Aaron to you, but give us a good fight and remember he's the guard of Rykan so he's very skileld.)
-
Jack barely noticed the attack, which hit the shield as he was doing one of his signature dance moves, causing it to fly off his arm. His claw retrieved it, and held it for a second.
That actually hurt. Well, now look what you did, the value of this shield has gone down. Why don't I do you a favor.
The claw spins really fast, and launches the shield over the city wall, into the river. He recalls the shadows he used, and makes a couple springs.
As much as I would love to sit and chat, but I have to go. Have a nice day spellsword.
He starts to make his escape, and clears the wall, landing in a tree. He continues towards the direction of the Hamon's cave.
Hamon
Hamon was looking through a pile of freshly slain wolves, cutting open the chest cavity to look for ingredients.
This heart is too small as well.
He has one more to cut, and slashes it open. When he pulled out the heart, he looked satisfied.
Guards, call for a hound to send a message. I want these sent back to the cave to make more flesh hounds.
They did so, and Hamon continued onward for the next ingredient on his list.
(So blades, expect a bunch of wolf bodies when you get back to the cave.)
-
Vixon and Siren
Waking up to rain hitting on his face. Looking around dazed for a bit trying to remember what all happened.
Vixon: Man sleeping outside really does a number on you.
Looking up he seen Rioku flying up above. Whistling for him to come down.
Vixon: I wonder where Kyra is..
Rioku drops a peice of paper....towards Vixon.
Reading the parchment Vixon learned of the guards after them..
Vixon: Siren wake up! wake up! We are about to be in trouble again...
As Siren opens her eyes she sees Vixon in a panic...
Siren: Awe it's raining. This isn't going to be a good day at all. We need to wake the others and let them know whats going on.
Vixon and Siren both run over to the others to wake them up and continued to tell them about the guards coming to kill them.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Hellion the Soulless
Waking up with a terrible pain in my neck...
"Gah why did I fall asleep on this rock golem for...." "Alright set me down I need to stretch for a bit."
Getting set onto the ground and stretching I notice that it was raining and inspecting my minions noticing running rather low on ranged minions.
"Hmmm I am going to have to fix that later."
18 melee units. 8 spears and 1 rock golem.
"Alright well I guess I should go to the others and see what we are going to do now...."
Heading over to where the others he could see Vixon and Siren in a panic trying to wake the others.
-
Raithen
Mumbling incoherently he waved for the flesh drake, which had just arrived to fish out his shield. It flew into the air, its large wings flapping and withing few moments returned with a dripping wet and ruined shield. Raithen cursed, and slammed the shield into the ground shouting,
Atrateum!
The bolt flew from his finger tips, slamming into the shield and splintering it into many pieces. He waved for the skeletal horse to leave, then drunkenly hobbled onto the drake. The drake burst into the air, it's wing ignoring the heavy rain and rumbling thunder as he flew. Treading air the cave had come into sight withing minutes, and the drake descended upon it. Dismounting and ordering the drake to guard, Raithen stumbled into the cave by passing the carcasses of the wolves only giving them a sparing thought. He looked around and shouted,
Ham, arrr yaa hearr? (Yes I didn't miss type this is correct.)
-
Alyx wakes up slowly and looks arround
"whats going on...?"
she looksa arround
"where is Kyra?"
-
Guards
The guards stealthily crept through the woods, never once making a sound other than the light breathing that they were forced to. They reacheed th clearing were their prey awaited and were surprised to find most of them awake. Regardless with a wave of his hand a whisper of,
On three.
The guards prepared to fight, one drew his bow and notched an arrow, another drew his twin swords, and another his long sword. But atly the leader of the group drew his war hammer, and growled in anticapation. He slowly raised three fingers and the guards with the bow knocked off two arrows, one heading for a young man with jet black hair and intricate armor, the other heading for the girl with short hair beside him. With a battle cry, the guards charged from the spot and began to attack.
-
Vixon and Siren
Siren looking around...
Siren: Something isn't right....
About that time you could hear the guards yelling as they charged at them. Releasing the arrows at the same time.
Fear went over Sirens face and first reaction of Vixon was to protect her... Covering her up with his body...The arrow aimed for him missed but the one aimed at Siren hit him in the back!
Slamming into his armor and going straight through it piercing his back.
Vixon: Gyah! Crap!
Falling to the ground from the pain. Knowing he needs to get back up Vixon pushes his self through the pain and faces towards the guards charging them.
Grabbing his shield and dropping it to the ground. Not being able to wield it because of the arrow.
Vixon: Well I can see this ending badly....Siren use that shield to keep anything from hitting you...
Alyx.....Tyler......I could use some help here....
Slowly unsheathing his sword barely being able to hold it. Starts charging at them head on...Leader in front of their charge sets his eyes onto Vixon.
Readying his hammer to swing down onto Vixon. Vixon knowing he wont beable to block such a heavy weapon without a shield...Starts doing zig zag patterns as he Swings down his hammer at him Vixon dodges to the side and tackles him. The other 2 guards kept charging past them knowing their leader could handle it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hellion the Soulless
Seeing what was taking place Hellion could feel an enormous amount of anger come about him..
"Antoc Antrosum Novisca!"
(A spell he long forgot when he was training under his master.....But won't be able to remember using it because it puts him into a blinding rage. Which is why his true way of speaking comes out.)
Several of his minions off in the distance collapse out of nowheres and the souls fly into Hellion causing his eyes to blacken completely and a black smokey aura to appear around him on a massive level. Shortly after the souls where absorbed....(10 of the melee units to be exact.) A shadowy type sword forms in his hand from the souls power. Looking over at the archer in the woods still shooting arrows at the group. Hellion immediately sets his target to him. Walking at a fast pace towards him the Archer notices him from the side and panics seeing an extremely pissed off necromancer and starts firing arrows at him. One hitting Hellion in the shoulder. One grazing past his face cutting his cheek and another hitting him in his hip. Being in a rage it doesn't affect him much. (But will later....Adrenaline.) Coming up to the Archer he draws out a small sword and swings at Hellion. Easily dodging the attack he puts the shadow sword up to his throat!
In a very very demonic voice...
"If thou shall want to live beyond today......Thou shall lower his sword and bow....... and surrender under my power!"
Placing the sword next to his neck.
(Please tell me if I made Hellion OP in this post!)
-
Guards
The leader shakes the injured boy off then swings his hammer down with incredible strength, arcing towards the boys back. The archer in a state of panic swung his knees back trying to hit the necromancer where it hurt!
Aaron
He stalked through the woods looking for his prey, and found them arguing. He quietly scaled a tree a little distance from them, and once at the top he drew two of his smaller daggers and threw them. They sailed directly at the two soundlessly, heading for their spines.
-
Leeta moved just enough while smashing efialtes's head into the tree, so teh daggers go past her, but cutting off a bit of fur. and since she had been smashing him into the tree, the daggers missed "him" but not his coat and pinned him to the tree.
Uh....Can someone tell me what just happened? I am now pinned to a tree..
Uh...I didn't do it...
A few seconds later efialtes manages to rip his coat a bit and get "un pinned".
Uh...if you didn't do it, who did?
Weeeell crap.
efialtes and leeta start running through the woods, hoping they would get away from whoever that was.
KEEP RUNNING RUNNING RUUUUNNIIIIIINNNG!!!
YOU DON'T SAY?!
((say if I need tochange anything))
-
Aaron
Aaron began to lead chase, running from tree to tree because the branches were so close. Putting on an extra burst of speed he passed the two children, and threw three small daggers, each falling right in front of their feet as a warning blow.
Unless you want that to happen to your head, I'd quit running.
THen he hid in the foiage so he could not be seen.
-
they stopped after that.
What, you gonna make it fall right before it hits our he-
Efialtes whacks her.
YOU TRYING TO GET US KILLED?!
She whacks him back.
You maybe..
she then looks around.
I'm gonna go find him..
Efialtes takes out 2 more needles and gives it to leeta.
Take this, its dangerous to go alone!
She then grabs him and drags him with her.
HEY!
I know its dangerous. why I'm bringing you as a human shield..
-
Aaron
Aaron smiled, this was to easy. He slowly drew his two best throwing daggers, each was coated in a thick green layr of sleeping powder and he loved the things! He slowlydrew his arms back, then with a flcik of hi wrist sent them sailing at the two children. As they flew he leaped from the trees, landing on his feet, and drew his two longest jagged daggers.
Try me you children.
9Meowth he is ovr confident, use that.)
-
Jack
Jack sees the dragon land somewhere ahead, and decides to turn around and head the other way. A close call indeed, but he needed to check on his rewards he left in a tree anyway.
Hamon
Hamon is searching through a patch of strange plants, looking for a specific root.
One of theses has to be the right one. Ah, here we go.
He pulls out a plant with roots that have a strange gold color on them. He squeezes the oils from it into a bottle and places it in his pouch. He calls for his minions to find the next ingredient, which will be the hardest one to obtain. A fang from a cobra, still dripping with venom.
-
Leeta uses efialtes as a sheild for both the daggers and then throws him aside KO'd.
Well you work as a human shield.
I hate you..zzz
she Looks around trying to get a battle plan together.
You do realize he was just a medic, right? as far as I know the needles could have helped you, judging by his reaction they weren't. but they could have!
She runs over to efialtes and takes more needles out of his medical kit, she then starts throwing them at random places not sure where he is.
Cmon, cmon..oh great, now after this I'll be wanted at tamika...where will I go then though?!
-
Aaron
Aaron grunted in surprise as one of the needles hit his leg, just barely going through his armor. His leg went numb, causing him to fall from the branch he was perched on. He slowly staggered to his feet, picking up the jagged daggers from where they had fallen. He readied in a sloppy stance, his mind becoming fuzzy, and said,
Feisty little lady aren't ya?
-
Leeta ran over to efialtes and pulled one of the daggers out.
what do you think?
Leeta throws the dagger and a few needles at him.
Why are we even fighting? we're both takima!
runs at him ready to stab with the needles, until she messes something up. she trips on one of the needles that missed him. it doesn't inject it into her, but still, she tripped..
OUCH!
she dropped her needles and they fell to the ground, she starts to get back up, when her tail of all things, runs into a needle injecting it into her.
Weeeeeell crap.
-
Aaron
Aaron limped past the cat girl, dragging his left leg along. He slowly reached the unconscious healer and bent down, throwing him over his shoulder he grunted from the extra weight and turned around. He limped over to the cat girl, and with his one open hand placed a dagger against her throat saying,
You shall be taken in front of the mighty lord Rykan and passed for judgement, only one question remains, do you yield?
-
Leeta pushed her self away about to be knocked out.
Yes...I yield...
she falls to the ground unconscious. now in efialtes's coat pocket the kitten squirms a bit and manages to get out.
Mreeew?
it went up to the guy and looked at him after tilting head to the side.
MRooooooow...
the kitten then goes over to leeta and plays with her tail.
-
Aaron
Aaron sighed, another wench he had to carry. He slowly picked her up and placed her on his shoulder over the boy. He was a strong and agile man but, with his leg in the condition it was he struggled for a moment to hold them before regaining his balance. He looked down and noticed a small cat, grunting the man spat at it, hoping do get it to leave. Taking extra precaution he snarled out,
Leave you manfully beast!
-
*hiss*
the kitten raised its paw, and the middle claw was sticking out.
Meow..
It then kept following him.
Mroow.
It pointed at efialtes in a "I'm with him" fashion.
-
Aaron
Aaron sighed, so the cat was gonna follow him. He normally would'be killed the thing but, he just didn't have the energy. He began to walk in the direction of Takima, if he was lucky he'd find a stable merchant along the way. He glanced back at the cat as he walked and said,
You're dead if ya try anything.
-
Vixon and Siren
Vixon laying face first in the dirt could hear the leader make a loud grunt as he swung his hammer down on him. Only reaction was to roll out of the way. Looking up at him slamming the hammer into the dirt making a small crater. Vixon swings his legs around to try to kick the leaders legs out from under him to give him a chance to stab him.
Vixon: Ahh!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hellion the Soulless
Set in a blinding rage on this ambush from the guards. As the archer swings his knee. Quickly removing the sword from his neck and facing it straight down to stab his leg.
Hellions eyes started having black smoke come out of them. From the souls leaking out.
"Thou will not do such a lowly thing to me! If thou want to die then so be it! I shall grant your wish and you will become part of my army with your soul!"
-
Guard
The guard leaped back, just barely avoiding the mans legs. He looked around thinking of a way to torture the boy,
Ahh, you see that little girl over their holding your shield? How would you like it if my hammer had a mishap and crushed her skull?
The guard slowly turned around a wicked smile gracing his lips, and he began to walk towards the girl.
Archer]
Panicking the archer shouted,
Help!
The guard wielding the long sword turned around, and seeing his friend in trouble rushed to his defense. He drew his blade back and brought it sailing down in an angle where the necromancer would be hit or have to jump back.
-
Vixon and Siren
Vixon looking up at the leader as he spoke to him.
"Ahh, you see that little girl over their holding your shield? How would you like it if my hammer had a mishap and crushed her skull?"
"I will not let you lay one hand on her! I will destroy you however I can!"
Siren hearing what was being said and hid behind the shield a bit.
Vixon slowly standing back up.
"I am your opponent not her you coward!"
-----------------------------------------------------
Hellion the Soulless
Barely able to avoid the swing from his sword. But getting cut a bit on his arm.
"Alright if this is how you want to play...."
Coming to his senses a bit.
"Why is thee trying to kill us!" "I will not let you harm anyone anymore!"
"I'rin ni" "Come my soldiers come to my aid and slaughter these fools for challenging me!"
You could feel the ground start to shake as the golem started walking. A few seconds later the melee units burst through the trees ready to charge at the 2 guards.
-
guard
(Got permission to do this.)
The leader ignored the man and approached the girl, he slowly got right beside her and whispered,
You see that boy over their? He's gonna watch you die.
Then he drew back his fist and punched her in the face.
Archer
The archer turned and began firing arrows into the minions and the guard that wielded to swords came rushing over to assist. The two swords man went back to back, while the archer fired arrows over their head. The wave of puppets poured over them and the soldier began to fight in earnest. One warrior swung his long sword and took a puppet from behind, killing it. The dual wielder swung his first blade, which was parried, and brought his second around slicing the puppet in two. They glanced at each other communicating with their eyes, 'This was going to be a tough fight'.
-
"I-uh...I-I-I..."
He looked pretty angry, so I kept the wand pointed at him.
"Look, woman. I didn't know you were here, O-Okay?"
He started moving toward me, so I summoned my batfish army. They flew around me in a cloud, all fourty-two of them snarling at the intruder.
Zer0 hissed like a startled cat. " What the heck, lady! What's with all those damned fish!?"
" Shield your face. We don't need one of those getting stuck in your eye, now do we!?"
Zer0 covered his face, and angrily slashed at the cloud of fish around the sorceress. " Look, I didn't even know you were here, and now you're attacking me! Right after offering tea! What the heck, man!?"
He scowled, and glared at her.
-
Vixon and Siren
As the leader walks away from Vixon.
"You coward stand and fight me...."
Vixons eyes widen as he grabs Siren.
"You see that boy over their? He's gonna watch you die."
As the leader punched her and sent her flying back a bit. You could see the tears run down her face...
"Vixon....help..."
Reaching back Vixon grabbed the arrow still in his back and ripped it out. Holding it in his off hand.
"I warned you not to hurt her!"
His face turning red from anger. Wanting to protect Siren at any cost....He charges at the Leader doing a false swing with his sword over head....As the Leader tries to block Vixon immediately barrels underneath and uses his momentum from the charge to tackle him and shove the arrow in his side right below his arm...In the joint of the connecting armor from the chest plate to the arms. The leader stumbles but doesn't fall...Grabbing Vixon's face and pushing him back and swings his hammer sideways at Vixon in hopes he would duck. Vixon seeing through this immediately instead of ducking runs towards him and getting hit with the handle instead. Taking a lot less damage from the blow and able to stay on his feet putting the hammer under his arm. And jabbing side ways into the Leaders side. Piercing him. You can hear the Leader grunt a little bit but not really very much harmed him. The Leader head butts Vixon sending him falling down...
"This ends now!"
Pulling his hammer above his head.
"You are truly no match for my might!"
About that time Siren runs full force with the shield in front of her slamming into his back startling him and making him stumble a bit. His grip on the hammer loosens and it falls to the ground. Vixon seeing this immediately gets up and charges at him sword first grabbing ontop of his armor and shoving the blade into his stomache.
"GYAAAAHHHH!!!" (As he forces the sword into him.)
"Apparently you forgot about her..."
The leader falls over backwards blood coming from the wounds.....Vixon walking over to his hammer....and picking it up...
"How about we see how I feel when I crush your skull."
Swinging it over his head with every ounce of strength he had left and slamming it into the Leaders skull smashing it.
Shortly after Vixon collapses to the ground from blood loss of the arrow wound and exhaustion.

Hellion the Soulless
About the time that the minions started to fight. The black smoke in his eyes vanished along with the aura around him. The souls power ran out...
Collapsing to his knees feeling the pain from the arrows. Noticing his minions in front of him. He figured he must of been in a fight. Not remembering what happened. He could feel the ground shaking getting harder and harder. Out of no wheres you could see trees falling over and you hear a loud moan coming from his Rock Golem sensing his masters weakened state.
"Don't worry my friend I will see this through."
-
"Look, I didn't even know you were here, and now you're attacking me! Right after offering tea! What the heck, man!?"
"Alright, I suppose the batfish were a teensy bit uncalled for, considering you haven't done anything yet. But don't try anything sneaky, alright? These batfish have the teeth of a shark, and they'll poke that eye right out."
I send the batfish away and put my wand into my boot, far enough away that he can feel safe but close enough that I can get it if he pulls out a knife or something.
(Just think of the batfish as swordfish with bat wings and 5 rows of sharp teeth, k?)
I go over to the kitchen... just a corner of the room with a stove and a table with two chairs, and I start brewing some tea. Unfortunately, there were some fish guts on the table from dinner last night that I was too lazy to clan off, so I had to clear some room so we would be able to sit down.
"How about that tea? Sorry 'bout the smell, I'm not a big fan of cleaning, and since it's just me here it doesn't really matter. I don't really get guests very often... Haha, or ever." I smile at him as I tidy up the kitchen, and the tea finishes so I grab some teacups and put them on the table, and gesture for him to sit down. "What's your name? Mine's Aerwynna, but you can call me Wynna."
-
Zer0 stepped back in confusion as she called off the fish. He better remember not to mess with them. He DID value his only eyes left.
He sat down at the table quietly, as she went to go make the tea she had offered. He couldn't help but notice the fish guts all over the table, and he had to summon all his strength to keep him from wearing them like a scarf. Instead, he slid some off the table, and onto his bare feet, acting as if he was helping her clean them off.
" Lotta guts....I don't care about the smell. I like it."
He took ahold of a teacup, and looked suspiciously of it. " I'm Zer0. Nice to meet you...Wynna...I guess..." He made sure not to look at her. His face was extremely red.
" And I'm 02. But NO ONE ever introduces me."
"You, I'm ignoring."
-
"I'm Zer0. Nice to meet you...Wynna...I guess..."
" And I'm 02. But NO ONE ever introduces me."
I wasn't looking, but I assumed that was that extra eye.... talking.... a talking eye.... wow... That is the weirdest thing I've ever seen I thought. I tried not to show how weird I thought it was.
Nice to meet ya. So, why are you here?
-
Meanwhile Alyx was allready in the second group of guards and keeps smashing their bones with her axe or cutting them in half a she looks arround
"Damn dont they have an end?"
she goes to another group and lunges swinging her axe horizontaly, doing a clean cut at the first guard, cutting both arms and his body in half as she looks at the others
"you both want to be next? too bad, because you WILL be next"
she grins and lunges at one as she swings her axe with the flat surface and smashes the guard's head like piece of fruit and goes to the other one.
-
Zer0 shrugged. "I was headed to Kai Sung for some thread, and I needd someone to sharpen my knife. Takima had other plans for me, so I left." He put his tea cup down, and rested his head on his elbow. " Apparently, they're fightin' with Kai Sung. I was the..aherm..interrogator...for a while. Who's side are you on?" He pulled the fish gits off his feet, and started to make a cat's cradle with them.
-
Raithen
Something slipped in the subconscious of Raithen but, it was with a sickening sense of horror that Mordeon realized what happened. With his intoxicated mind Mordeon couldn't keep a good hold on Raithen, resulting in the boy stealing back control of his body, even if only temporary.
Mordeon, I must now make up for all the wrong you caused, and in little time too.
Mordeon scoffed in Raithens mind.
Foolish boy, the minute this accursed intoxication wears out of my system and quits waning my power, this body will be mine once again
Raithen sighed, he knew it was true. He tore out of the cave like hell on wheels, already fabricating lies to tell Hamon if he was caught. The flesh Drake gave him a curious look as he mounted the skeletal horse, who had returned to the cave moments ago. He was unfamilar with the whole skeletal horse thing but, it was basically like riding a regular horse. He spurred it sides and they began to tear through the woods. He could hear the sound of distant fighting and he began to rush in that direction.
Kyra
Kyra sighed and sat back, she had done everything she could. It was now time to play the waiting game.
(Feel free to awaken Lubbies.)
-
Hayl
I open my eyes to see a girl sitting, my muscles were stiff. I let out a moan as I lifted my head, a headache throbbed my head and even my eyes hurt.
me- I over did it.
My arms and legs protested as I got up. I fumbled around for my staff, I gripped it tightly.
me-Who are you?
I looked over to the girl, ready if she tries anything.
________________________________________________________________
Tyler
I didn't have time to unsheath my sword as a guard flung himself at me, I swiftly stepped out the way with grace. He attacks again and I narrowly dodge the blade as it goes under my arm, I grab the handle and push the man away. He falls to the ground and I point his sword at him.
me-Go.
The man stands up, legs shaking he cautiously turns around and starts running.
me-Not really.
I catch up quickly and I stab the sword into the mans back. I didn't kill him but I did severly injure him. I turn onto the next man, I drop the sword. How long can I do this without using a sword I wonder.
-
Raithen
He rode for what seemed like an eternity before he reached any signs of life. He hid in the foliage as the one person he didn't want to see reached his line of sight. Kyra was talking to a young man, who Raithen remembered dueling earlier. He paused for a moment listening, then decided it best he make his appearance now. Slowly dismounting his horse and approaching Kyra he said.
Surprise.
Kyra
Kyra sighed in relief as the man set up and questioned her.
I was starting to think you were dead. What exactly hapoened to you?
Then she stared in shock as Raithen appeared saying, 'surprise'. Her voice was thick wit malice as she respnded,
Leave Mordeon. Don't you think you've tortured me enough?
Raithen looked at her and respnded,
It's really me, at least for a while.
Guards
The last two guards were soon overwhelmed by the sheer number of puppets, and all four guards lie dead on the ground.
-
me-You...
A cloud of frosty air escaped my mouth as I said the word. A few flakes of snow started to fall.
me-I thought I made it clear for you to go away.
My knuckles turned white as I gripped my staff. I don't have any power left to fight.
-
Raithen and Kyra
Look their is alot to explain and little time to do so.
Kyra glared at him but, finally decided she'd listen. She watched as he turned to the young man but, she could feel him watvhing from the corners of his eyes. Raithen stared at the man, seeming to bore holes through his soul.
Have you ever heard the legend of Asdis and Mordeon?
-
I hadn't been in town for a while, so I didn't know about the fight. "I didn't even know there was a fight.... I usually try to stay out of fights, but I guess I'm on Kai Sung's side. I'll only fight if I really have to, though. They probably have better fighters and sorcerers than me."
-
me-Something tells me it's going to pull me into my destiny so I don't think I want to know.
I rolled my eyes, of course I knew but I wasn't going to tell him... I don't know why. I inspected him, half expecting an attack. I was prepared to flee at any time.
-
Siren
"Vixon nooo!!!"
Rushing up to his body as he laid there passed out. Quickly bandaging him. Placing her hands over his wound on his back her pendent started to Glow very bright.
"I promised myself I would bring you out of any injury you came into.....This is no exception!"
Tears start running down her slightly bruised face. As she sees the extent of his wounds...
"By the power of light and hope I purge these wounds of infection, And come back to me Vixon. Don't you dare give up!"
Could see Vixon's hand start to move a bit.
-
Raithen
I know your lying to me sorcerer!
Raithen snarled out the wrod sorcerer with such anger it scared Kyra. He pressed his hand into Hayls shoulder pinning him to a tree, then whispered.
You are the reincarnation of Asdis, whether you belive it or not! As am I the reincarnation of Mordeon. You must travel to Kai Sung and speak to Lord Daylin immediately it is of the utmost importance! e holds information to a spellbook that every sorcer in hhistory has thisrted for.
Then he released the man and spun arond leaping on his horse. He was shocked as he got ready to ride away a cool hand touched his shoulder. Looking down he saw Kyra wth tears in her eyes and it sofened his resolve to stay away from her. He held out his hand and Kyra took it, sitting behind him on the skeletal horse. He could tell she was scared, that this was all some cruel joke and he would turn to Mordeon at any second, by the way she clutched onto his stomach with her arms wrapped around him. They rode silently for a long while until a sing song voice split the air.
It's really you isn't it?
Raithen smiled, she was finally getting it.
Yes Kyra, it's really me.
At that moment she broke down, pressing her face into his back as she sobbed. They quickly reached the clearing where the other where and the first thing Raithen noticed were the bodies. He leaped off his horse helping Kyra down, Then he ran to where he saw a giant Golem was heading and saw a very injured man, bareky breathing. He tossed the man over his shoulder and ran back to Kyra. Laying him down Kyra set to work healing him and Raithen turned to the two people who seemed alright.
Alyx, Tyler, you are the calmest so I wish to speak to you.
-
Alyx was finishing off the guard then sighs
"seriously... they should come at more dayly times..."
she looks arround and sees Raithen with Kyra, hearing him she nods and goes besides kyra, getting a bit in front of Kyra just in case
"what do you want now?"
-
Raithen
I want you too listen, the war may depend on this. I have control of my body again but, only for a small amount of time. As Mordeon I have gained knowledge of several things which I have no time to explain. How many of you have heard the actual legend of Mordeon and Asdis? And Kyra how's he doing?
Kyra stood standing away from Hellion.
He is healed to the full of my abilities, should wake up anytime now.
Raithen nodded then looked at everyone else awaiting answers.
-
Hamon was staring down the cobra, while his minion had an arrow ready to fire at a moments notice. The snake was rearing up, and flew forward to strike, just as the arrow was released and struck it in the head. Hamon had another minion extract the fang, which was leaking venom. He wrapped it up and placed the prize with the other ingredients.
Well now, that was exciting. Excellent work my minions, let's head home.
Hamon turned and his minions followed suit. He was very close to completing his plan, all he had to do was wait for the next full moon.
-
me-No, no I haven't.[color]
I took a deep breath.
me-How do I know it's you and not the other you because you might not be you and might be the other you.
I'm just confusing myself further, if possible.
-
Hellion
Slowly waking up to see many people standing near me....
"Ughhh what in the hell happened....I black out...Next thing I know I am full of holes..."
Still not knowing what happened from the incantation...
Looking up seeing Raithen there..Jolting to my feet..
"What are you doing here you traitorous scum!"
Signalling for the rest of his minions to get closer....
-
Raithen
Raithen sighed saying
I have no time to explain.
Then looking at the others he drew his sword as a precaution and began their tale.
I do not have time to explain their full tale, all you need too know is Mordeon was a powerful necromancer and Asdis was a powerful sorcerer, maybe even the most powerful to this day. They faced off against each other in a duel and it ended up killing them, both. With their dying strength they whisked away their spellbooks and swore they'd be reincarnated. You may have guessed I am the reincarnation of Mordeon and their is a sorcerer out in those wood who is the reincarnation of Asdis. I have devised a plan which may help us win this war but, you all are going to have to cooperate so are you ready?
Raithen awaited an answer and not receiving on he took the silence as a yes. He pointed to Alyx, Siren, and Vixon and said,
You three are to travel back to Kai Sung and pay Daylin a visit. Upon reaching him you should meet a sorcerer their for the same reason you are. Inform Daylin that Assist sits in front of him, he shall give you further instructions.
Then he turned to Hellion and Tyler.
You two are to accompany me on a quest. I shall inform you of the details along the way but, know that we probably won't walk out alive. Any objections?
