The 2nd Shadowfall

Demecas · The 2nd Shadowfall

~Intro to the world.~
The world is known as Eclipsia. Our story starts on an isolated Island called Limen. It is located just about 3 miles east of the coast of the main land. The main land is called Cederian. both the Island and the main land are under the rule of the Rose kingdom. Ruled by Queen Rien. To the north are the Winter lands. Use to be ruled by the Dwarven king Uran. the Dwarven kingdom of the north is now long dead. Few Dwarfs still live but in small clans spread out through out the world living as nomads.

The north West of the kingdom's boarders is what is called the Dead lands. This area was created by a honorable lich over 100 years. it use to be part of many kingdoms now it's just one large area of death. nothing living survives there for long. to the west is the kingdom of Ragnar on the land of Eluna. This is the home of the elves. they are at consent war with the lich as they try to stop his march into their territories. the kingdom of Cederian is helping the elves fight off the Lich. An endever that has brought our two warring kingdoms together.

To the south is a dessert. there is a war going on in the dessert by the human clans. They fight over water. beyond that is the ocean.

This world was once all human dwarfs and elves. until the great shadowfall wars. when a great dark shadow fought the gods and mortals. since then all technologies was lost to us as we degraded into our current primitive life styles.

Nothing other then Humans dwarfs and elves were ever seen or known till around 3000 years ago when humans crossed the oceans to find humanoids that had animal characteristics. These new humanoids Were brought back and made slaves for 1456 years. They won their freedom in the revolution and have been helping all races build a better life since then.

Demecas

On the island of Limen!

*Demecas awakes to the sound of the ocean breaking on the rocks down by the beach and the sound of the birds singing their songs. The Sun is just barley visible in the horizon. But a foul wind blows this morning. And this is what awoke her from her slumber so early in the morning. Demecas in nothing more then panties and a shirt runs to the front door of her house nearly tripping over the rug in the middle of the place. As she opens her door she can see a bright red light in the horizon. Something is burning and is burning bright and can be seen over the tree line of the forest. It doesn’t take her long to realize that it’s coming from the nearby village.*

I need to do something.

*Demecas closes the door and goes to a trunk that holds her fighting gear.*

Well I hope I’m not too late. But I have to hurry.

*After a very short while Demecas has finished putting on her gear and dashed out the front of her door. Her foot steps are light with an occasional splash as she runs thru puddles the rain that night had left. The trees sounded like they were crying in pain as the fire had spread to the forest. Tears ran down Demecas’s eyes as she finally finds a safe spot near the village or where the village once was. Now nothing was left but ash. It looked as if someone came thru and ransacked the town. Children were laying in little piles. They were killed. The elderly were strung up and all the sick were beheaded. Not a single body of the healthy young ones was found.*

Slavers…..

I hate Slavers. They don’t care for anyone just their greed.

*Demecas leaves the town and the burning village as she knows that she can’t do anything without help to stop the fire. There was no one left alive in the burned down village. She follows their trail as closely as she can. The trail was covered up and ran thru streams and sandy areas that hid the tracks well. From time to time it was all up to her just to guess where they were heading. She realized they had several hours on her along with horses.*

I’ll never be able to catch them but if they are heading where I think they are then it will take them at least a day to register and load their prisoners.

I guess it’s off to the old northern slave ports.

BlackBlade

SOMEWHERE!!! (On the island of Limen but he doesn't know that yet.)

*Kevin is sitting on the wet ground and was angrily ranting at the watch on his right hand* "You stupid Son-of-a-toaster!!! All I wanted was to go to New York City!!! But nooo... you take me to the middle of some forest!!!! *He presses a button on the watch it displays a holographic map of the planet* THIS ISN"T EVEN THE RIGHT PLANET!!! *punches the nearest tree. The tree shakes and a few leaves fall off* "Well let's see if you can take me back to Earth" *presses another button.... this time the holographic display reads 'Teleport system offline'* "The inventory system better work." * Kevin spins the dial and the holograph display changes show a mass of stuff. It showed objects from duct tape to tools to weapons* "Good it does" *Kevin selects a few objects: His Heavy armor, the Raputor and his daggers. The armor appears on Kevin, with the daggers in sheaths one on his left hip and the one on his right. The Raputor appears in his right hand, but he puts it on his back.* "Well now what?" *Closes his eyes and points a direction* "All right that way it is." *He sets off walking*

[2 hours and three direction changes later]

"This reminds me of when I first landed on Earth. Hopelessly lost in the middle of the woods." *sighs* "Man do I miss...." *Kevin is interrupted by the rustling of leaves and splashing. It sounded like someone running trough the forset. He looked around and then he saw the source. It was someone running, and at a very fast rate, heading almost in the same as he was going, but 50 feet to his right .* "Hello!! I'm lost!! Can you..." *Kevin is shocked to see, what appeared to be cat ears and a tail on the person who was running. It takes Kevin a few moments to regain himself* "Can you help me?!!"

Spirit Wolf

On the isle

"89...90...91..." Jack counted off as he hacked his way through the undead. "I hate necromancers, they're almost as bad as liches. '' he continues to hack away at the undead horde, trying to get at the necromancer.

"You will not beat me, fool!" the necromancer raises his hand an launches a volley of bone spears at Jack. Jack ducks and jumps back. "Damn, at this rate, he's right. I need help.'' Jack recites a teleportation spell, then all of a sudden a very large wolf appears. "Hello Jack, I see you're in quite a fix. 'Bout time ya called me, I was getting bored." The wolf starts attacking the undead. "Yes yes, I know, I'm sorry, Beowulf, I just didn't really need help till now." Jack launches back into the fray with renewed Vigor. Soon they get to the Necromancer. "Hungry Beowulf? He looks pretty tasty, don't you think?" Beowulf devours the necromancer. "Blech, he was a bit too stringy. So then, what do we do now?" Jack hops onto Beowulf. "the mayor of the town nearby said he'd give me information about Demecas in return for killing the necromancer. Let's go" They dash off.

An hour later they reach the town. It's nothing but a smoldering ruin. "Damn! Looks like there's no survivors. Now what do I do?" They look around the town. He spots the tracks of the slavers. "Beowulf! Let's go! I found where they're going!" Beowulf quickly approaches, let's Jack on, then dashes off in the direction of the tracks.

Fatalcrash

“Woah!” shouts Alex as he dodges the fireball. Reeling from the heat as it passes over his head, the fireball whizzes into a tree and sets it on fire. Alex stands up, surrounded by a green forest, the sounds of the animals silenced by the tree exploding into flames.

“Great, Alex. Not one day off the boat from Cederian and you’re already in the middle of a fight.” he thinks. Spinning around, he catches sight of the his opponent, a young mage decked in a black cloak. Pulling out his Desert Eagle, an item he had found while exploring the ruins of the ancient Cities, he points it at the mage. “Can’t we talk about this?” asks Alex.

The mage responds by hurling another fireball at Alex, who drops into a crouch again. “Filthy mainlander, get off this island!” growls the mage. He glares at Alex’s weapon. “What is that?” he spits. Alex holds up his gun. “This?”

Firing a round at his enemy, he continued, “This kills idiots like you!” Out of nowhere, the mage conjures up a blocking spell, deflecting the bullet with an azure force field. It hits the ground near Alex’s foot with a ‘pfft’. “Shit, that’s why I hate magic users,” grumbled Alex. The mage grins, turning stopping his spell in order to conjure up a fireball. Stepping forward, he says with an ugly sneer on his face, “You lose, mainland-“

His head snaps back as the round enters his head. The body of the mage crumbles into a heap on the forest floor, a small pool of blood starting to form. The echo of the gunshot ripples though the forest, sending whatever birds that hadn’t been frightened off already flapping their wings hard to get into the sky. “Oh, yeah. Keep on gloating next time, fool. Maybe I should have told him that this weapon doesn’t need to be reloaded after each shot like a bow or crossbow.” says Alex. He walks over to the body. “Nah, gets them every time.”

The bounty hunter nudges the body with his foot, then loots it and picks up a bag of gold tucked into the mage’s belt. “Guess you won’t be needing this anymore,” he laughs. “Thanks.”

A rumbling sound behind him gets his attention, and Alex runs though the forest for a short distance before coming upon a caravan. A trio of horses led the caravan, which included a prison cart with a cage for captives and a dozen men on foot guarding it. “Well, well, slavers.” mutters Alex. Taking a quick look at the dirty men, women and children sitting sullenly inside the horse-drawn prison cart, he falls into step behind one of the men guarding them. “They should lead me to a town and some work in no time,” Alex thinks. Hefting his backpack, he started to run along with the slavers.

Demecas

*Demecas comes to a stop as she hears a cry for help, she looks over to see a strangely clothed man.* Yea what you need. and by the way why are you standing in the middle of a field of poison Wilken. That stuff you can't even wash out of your clothing. And will leave on hell of a nasty rash for a week.

*she looks down the trail and thinks to herself*

{I hope this delay doesn't delay me to long. but he might be able to help me Save them.)

Fatalcrash

Back at the slave caravan...

As Alex walks along, he starts to listen to the men around him. The occasional whisper enters his ears.

A moment later, he realizes what has happened to the people in the cages, and what will happen to them. Even though it would probably mean a lot of delays in getting to the town, Alex resolves to help them and starts thinking about what to do next.

BlackBlade

"I'm lost..... did you say 'poison Wilken'?" *looks down at the ground around him and what appears to be poison Ivy to him* " I think I'm okay. We had this stuff were I came from, I'm immune to it." * walks over to the figure still shocked that it look like a human and a cat.* "Umm... I have know idea were I am. Can you.....Umm....just point me to the nearest town. It kinda looks like your in a hurry. I'm sorry." *rubs head* "Do you need help? You look worried."

((OOC: Before anyones saids that you can't be immune to poison Ivy, you can. And I am in real life I have funny story about that you be able to find it in the Fuzz.))

Demecas

*she looks at him* well if it was Poison Ivy that would be one thing. but that wilkin. It was created by accident after the last war. either way I suggest you change your leggings and wrap up the affected area. after the rash there will be blisters and a lot of bleeding.

Now you say a town. well I don't know if it's a town but there is an old slavers port I was heading too. It's suppose to have been shut down ages ago but it seams that it's still running. the Nearest town was just burned down due to them.

*she looks up the road to the north.* Also I see your human but your smell isn't of the humans of this place. I take it you came from earth. I think I'm one of the few people who remember your kind visiting us oh so long ago. but I don't have time to explain this I need to save the ones that are left from that town. you can either follow me or roam.

*she takes off at an incredible speed that people thought only horses could do.*

BlackBlade

"Oh........ that sucks. A lot. I'll follow you" *looks down at his boots* "But...... you go on a head, I'll catch up with you. I have to change and I don't want you to wait around." *Kevin watches as the cat-person runs up the road.* "Well I better change" *He spins the dial on his gantlet and the holographic inventory screen appears. He selects a new pair of boots and some medical spray. The old boots disappear and the new ones and the medical spray appear next to him.* "I hope this stuff works like it's suppose to." *he sprays his feet and legs. And puts the boots on. He presses the teleporter button on the gauntlet. This time the screen reads 'Updating......... Please wait..........99% complete...............Done........ Ready To Use' A map of the island appears on the screen. Kevin studies it he notices a small green dot to the north of a red 'x' marking his location* "That must be the place." *He taps the dot and disappears*

Spirit Wolf

Beowulf runs Kevin over by accident. "Ach, Beowulf! You seriously need to watch where you are going." Jack gets up off the ground, then walks over to Kevin. "Sorry about that, we were In a hurry." He sniffs the air. "You are not from around here, are you? Well, greetings to you, let me help you up" Grabs Kevin's arm and picks him up, then sets him back on the ground. "My name is Jack Ulfver, and this is Beowulf." Points to Beowulf, who just nods. "And What is your name?"

BlackBlade

*Kevin appears in the forest again. Close to where he wanted to be. He goes to check his map when he finds a rather large dog on his back.* "Augh!...... That's going to leave a mark" * he a hears voice saying something about his name and how he smells* "My name is Kevin and I'm from a place called earth and......." *He looks at the large dog and then at the rider, then back at the dog, then back at the rider. He blinks* "and I need to get out of here, I think I'm going crazy." He stands on his own "Oh well won't be the first won't be the last time I go crazy........Ummm, I'm looking for an old slave port.......Some red haired cat woman/person told me she was heading there, to save some people or something." Kevin looks into the rider's eyes "Do you what I'm talking about?"

Spirit Wolf

"No, not really, I'm just following the scent of the ones who demolished the village back there." He points in the direction of the village." Here, if you're going in that direction, let me give you a lift." He grabs Kevin, and throws him on Beowulf's back, then hops on as well. " Hang on to my back, Beowulf here isn't known for going slow." Beowulf smiles with a grin that tells Kevin he isn't going to take it easy, then dashes off in the direction the slavers were going at an incredible speed.

Demecas

*Demecas thinks to her self*

{I wonder how he's going to catch up with me. oh well.}

*demecas sees Keven being trampled up ahead by Jack. She Increases her speed a little more as she blast by both of them hearing them talk about a red haired cat girl, and her brother not recognizing her description. She yells as she passes.*

Well thanks jack I see how much I mean to you.

*before they can respond she is already out of view. they only caught a blur of her as she was running faster them most animals.*

Spirit Wolf

Jack looks around. "What was that? I must be hearing things. How are you holding up back there Kev?" He stands up on Beowulf's back as they travel to get a better look of the landscape, laughing as he does.

BlackBlade

"I'm fine but that red haired, cat person just ran past us" * Kevin shrugs* "She yelled something about not meaning much to you." *Kevin looks through his inventory* "Can't your dog think you called him Beowulf run faster?" * He pulls out Raputor and starts to spin it for no reason other than he is bored.* "So how long until we catch up?"

Spirit Wolf

"Dunno, and if ya want to go faster, why didn't you say so?" He taps Beowulf on the head, who just rolls his eyes, then all of a sudden fire starts erupting from his fur. "Hold on." Suddenly Beowulf starts running 5 times as fast, anything in front smashes from the force surrounding Beowulf.

Durandal

Chapter 1: Arrival and Away!

"HEY! Come on! Lemme go!" Roland shook the iron bars on his cage ferociously, as though hoping to dislodge them through sheer willpower. The only response he managed to illicit was a bemused smile from the guards outside the cart. "I'm not even from this village!" he vented, furious at his ill luck.

It became apparent to Roland that no amount of protesting would win him his freedom, so he sat back and traced in his minds the series of events that had led to his current predicament. He had awoken this morning from a long slumber. While aboard Manus Celer Dei, Roland's brain stayed offline, and no thoughts lit its dark halls. In such a state, Roland hadn't been aware of the passing of time, but now that he once again walked with the living, he knew that he had, indeed, missed out on the time he lost while in hibernation. It was an odd feeling, and Roland did his best to ignore it, lest he drive himself mad worrying about things beyond his level of comprehension.

Upon awakening, Roland had found himself in the middle of small town, a port village by the looks of the assorted fishing gear and nautical equipment lying around. The village seemed the sort of place where ordinary people lived out their quiet lives in peace. Roland would have liked to see the place on a normal day, but unfortunately today appeared to be anything but normal.

It was the smell of smoke that first warned Roland as to the unusualness of the day, but soon there were other clues; little things that an unobservant person might miss altogether. There were subtle hints like burning buildings, screaming women, grunting men, and dead bodies. To Roland, these all worked together to warn him that something was wrong. Before he could figure out what though, a very large force was transferred to his head, most likely from a heavy blunt object with a high velocity. The blow made Roland slump to the ground, unable to appreciate the physics that went into bringing about his unconsciousness.

When he came to, he found himself inside some sort of wagon with a large cage on top. Inside the cage with him were the villagers that the slavers had deemed worthy of capture. Roland hadn’t spoken with any of them yet; his first words were the protestations about his condition that he had directed at his capturers. His words had fallen on deaf ears, though, and it seemed that there was no recourse but to see this through. He considered summoning Durandal, his mighty spear, to his side, but quickly decided to the contrary. There wasn’t enough room in the cage to properly use it, and he was more likely to hurt the other prisoners than do any real good.

And so he resolved himself to wait. Perhaps an opportunity for escape would arise…

BlackBlade

*Kevin nearly falls off of Beowulf at the sudden burst of speed* "Now this is more like it" *he waves at the cat person as they pass by* "So who is that anyway? It seems you two know each other." * looks a head at where they are going and sees a sport not a mile away.* "You'd better slow down or we'll be swimming in the next few minutes." * laughs and spins the dial on his gauntlet and the next thing Jack and Beowulf knew Kevin was holding a rather large sword in his hands.*

Spirit Wolf

Beowulf slows down. "Huh? What are you talking about? I don't see anyone." They come to a stop. "Damn, lost their scent. Hold on for a few." he gets off and starts sniffing the air, a dark shape passes by. "What was that? Ugh, I need to get my eyes checked." He finally catches the scent, it's very strong. "Ok, found it, but we need to take it slowly, they're close, very close." He hops back on Beowulf, and they take off at a slow speed.

BlackBlade

"Told you" *he looks down at his right hand and the display with a map of the local area showing .* "well I hope this won't take long I need some action" *he starts to polish his sword. (( my computer screen is shorting out so I'm going to have to finish this another time))

Demecas

*Demecas is passed by Beowulf who she pets for a second* Its good to see you but i don't' have time for plesentries.

*she watches them as they pass her by and then come to a stop* Demecas passes them again as a blur leaping from the ground to a tree then to the rooftops of the harbor town.*

You have to be kidding me!

*Demecas observes a small town with three piers. The streets are full of people and there is even a small patrol of the queens knights patrolling the area as the slavers carts roll past them. the street is gravel and the building seam to be in good shape all together. There is a tavern in the middle of the town.*

What the hell. the Knights do nothing. Slavery was outlawed and they let is pass here.

*her voice is almost high enough to be heard but she isn't.*

Spirit Wolf

They reach the town. "Huh, this doesn't look good. We should avoid a full scale battle." Looks around. "Maybe." He smiles, then walks up to one of the knights. "Excuse me, but isn't slavery illegal?" He looks around, measuring how good a fighters these people are.

Demecas

the *guard looks at Jack then with a smug look on his face*

Guard: I'm sorry Sir but there is nothing like that going on here. her majesty wouldn't allow such things.

*His movements are not that of a real royal guard but they show he is quite skilled. which is concerning since he holds such a low rank.*

Guard: now if you are entering the town I suggest you don't go near the pier at this moment. We are dealing with some problems and the area is currently off limits.

*you can tell that he is lying but you also noticed a guard head to a main militia building after hearing your comment about slavery. at this point it's obvious that the town is not a safe place to be at least not in the open.*

Guard: I must be off to my rounds and you have taken up enough of my time.

*As the guard leaves a small stone from on top of a building hits Jack. when he looks up he notices that a cat like creater is motioning for him to join her.*

Fatalcrash

Alex looks around the town where following the slavers had taken him. "Ah, great." he thinks. "A slave port. I'll have as much luck finding a job here than jumping off a cliff and trying to fly.

He notices the unusual number of guards around the area, including the group of knights. "Hmpt. Looks like the queen's Knights aren't as valient as they used to be," Alex mutters. Inside the cage, the captives get up and yell at the Knights to help them, but are ignored. One of them, a human with short spiked hair, just sits still and watches, an expression on his face that Alex just can't decipher. Alex shakes his head, wondering what they could possibly want with these people.

The pier loomed ahead. Rounding about to the back of the cart, Alex quickly set about trying to unlock the cage. The townspeople surrounding the cart would provide excellent cover for the escaping slaves.

BlackBlade

*Kevin Jumps off of Beowulf* "What do mean no big battle, that's way I brought this" *he smiles and points to the buster sword in his right hand.* "Well it looks like there's activity down by that pier You do what you want I'm going to check it out."

((OOC: my com's graphic card is fried at the monument. I'm currently working off of a PDA. So posting is going to take me longer))

Spirit Wolf

"Do what you want, I'm going to talk to the jerk who threw a rock at me." Jack jumps on the guards head as he's walking away then jumps onto the roof of the building. "That'll teach him to be so rude. Now as for you, why the hell did you throw a..." He turns around and sees Demecas. " D...d...Demecas? DEMECAS!" He runs over and hugs her, slightly crushing her in the process. Then he lets go and starts talking very excitedly. "How've ya been, where've ya been, do you have any exciting stories, did you meet any nice guys the I have to kill? Oh, its so good to see you again!" He hugs her again, this time even harder.

Demecas

*She looks at him sternly* um I was trying to get you up here without the guards finding out. and you had to go blow my cover. Haven't you noticed how skilled they are. I only got a short glimpse of one of the captains here. We can't take a captain. we have no chance against them. we need to get to the slaves and get them out ASAP.

*she points to the cart in the crowd.*

But at least the guards haven't noticed the guy unlocking the cage yet. and one of the people in the cage isn't an anthro I wonder why they took him.

*she looks at Jack again*

I see you brought the poison wilkin guy with you too. but did you have to leave him with the guards. What do you think they are going to do if they think he did that to them.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*The guard turn not seeing Jack after jack jumped off of him. The guard then raises the alert yelling.*

Guard: We have a outlaw here he struck the queens guard.

*12 guards and a captain come rushing out and try to find out where the perpetrators went.*

Guard Captain: Find them and bring them to me. We can't afford to let them interfere with us.

Spirit Wolf

"Oops, you know how bad I am when it comes to being discreet. And yea, I noticed that these men are very skilled. Maybe we should create a distraction so the slaves can escape, what do you think? I know we can't beat them, but I'm pretty sure we can hold them off till the slaves escape. I hope our friend down there doesn't get killed too quickly." He laughs a little bit, then says. "Oh, and why did you throw a rock at me? There were other ways of getting my attention, ya know."

Zymeth

Somewhere in the woods near a beach

*A large ball of lighning appears from out of nowhere. An old man in a cloak drops out of it and the lightning fades. Some strange objects fall to his side*

(on his knees and hands) *pant... pant...* "No... My clan... All of my followers... oblitherated(spelling?)... I know I can never go back..."
*looks up and sees a squirrel* "What? A squirrel? Oh how I hate squirrels! Hmm... Well, I was about to eat supper anyway... Come here lil' fella'... I'm not going to- AH HA!!!" *puts his arm out with his palm facing the squirrel. Some static electricity jumps between his fingers, but nothing happens*

"What the?..." *the squirrel just stares* "Okay, lets try this again." *gets up to a squatting position and pulls his arms back to one side* "I'll have mine well-done, thank you!" *his arms fly forward but still nothing but static*

"Rargh! This is rediculus! I'm just going to have to use the old-fashioned way! *grabs his flail-staff from the ground and starts floating up to a standing position* "Now I have you! I'll just- whoa!" * he looses his focus and falls back to the ground. as the staff hits the ground a metal leaf shoots out the end and is embedded in a tree. the squirrel runs away*

"No! Why are my powers not working!? How far could I possibly have teleported for them not to work!?" *tries to get up using his actual legs. he staggars a bit because of his under-used muscles. looks out to the beach and sees a ship docking in the distance*

"Indeed I must have teleported far. I've never seen a ship of that size or design before... I suppose I should take shelter where it's docking. There might even be a way to help my situation..." *grabs his items and walks slowly tward the town*

BlackBlade

*Kevin heads through the town, nothing out of the ordinary, but people keep giving wried looks. One man steps out from a shack that guards the entrance to the pier area. 'Halt, were do you think you're going?' the guard said drawing his sword. *Kevin looks around and then points to the pier with the Buster Sword* "That way, there a problem with that?" *The guard looks at his reflection in the large blade of the sword and then at Kevin holding it with one hand* 'No.....Ummm....No continue on your way' the guard saids and runs back into the shack. "What a strange man." *Kevin walks into the pier the mood changes as he walk through there are cages everywhere.* "I hate slavery" *He sees a cage with animal like people in it* "Stand back I'm getting you out." He raises his sword and swings it twice. The bars far to the ground the would be slaves run for it.* "BE FREE!!" *two guards see and hear what just happened the run over. 'You what have you done!!' one yells 'Die!' yells another. *The charge at Kevin with swords drawn. Kevin swings his sword And blocks the guards attacks. "This might be a little more difficult, yeah I this will work." *he throws his sword onto the guards. Away from Kevin's hand the sword's enchantment is lost. The now One ton sword pins the guards to the ground. Two seconds later Kevin has the Raputor in his hands with the Plasma Blade extended and at the guards' throats.*

Demecas

*Demecas Looks at Jack* oh what you want to do yell hey jack up here I'm hiding up here so they don't find me.

*gives jack a light knock on the head*

Think some time.

But I did miss you. A guy well no I haven't found a guy to protect from you. LOL

We will see.

*Thinks*

whats the first thing we can do. We might not be able to do anything as of yet.

Zymeth

*continues to walk to the town, but is only half way there after almost an hour* "I can't walk much further... I think I'm going to try my magic once more." *makes gestures with his arms and hands and suddenly dissapears. he reapears about 20 yards away, but upsidedown*

*Falls on his head* "Oof!! sigh...

Fine, walking it is!" *hears a commotion in the town*: 'BE FREE!!', 'You what have you done!!', 'Die!'
"I wonder what all that could be about?"

BlackBlade

*Kevin removes the heads of the guards as they scream for help* "I out of here!" *he runs down the pier he passes another cage but someone is picking the lock* "Havening fun?" *Kevin Walks up to the man just as lock clicks open* "well I would run if I were you they don't like when you set the slaves free." *Kevin Smiles and continues running down the pier. He turns a conner and there are at least a dozen guards and a capt. there* "Son-of-a-@$&&"

Demecas

*the guard captain grabs Black blade by the neck slaming him into a near by brick wall. the result of this knocked Keven senseless for a minute and for his watch to break on the wall making it useless.*

Guard captain: So I see blood on your blade.

*the captain takes the blade from Keven wielding it as if it's nothing. He tosses Keven into the arms of 2 of the other guards . Two more guards take the rest of his weapons and follow the captain into the guard mount were his weapons are put under lock and key. The remaining guards start to beat Him in public with their hands. At this point one of their helmets slip a little and green skin can be seen. An orc breed.*

*they toss Keven into a puddle and leave him for dead as they start trying to round up the escaping Slaves.*

DarkFox

Lance looked around scared, he had no idea what was going on, for he had just awoken... "What the?!" He looked round as he saw people getting killed and slaves being freed. Eventually, someone got to his cage and opened it. This puzzled him, but he wasn't planning on staying there anyway, so without asking any questions, he fled it. Running as fast as he could to the gates....

BlackBlade

*Kevin Stands up shaking his head* "Stupid people, no ever takes my weapons, the Buster Sword doesn't like when other people hold it" *The guard capt was inspecting the large sword when something strange happened the sword went form being a razor sharp, large sword to a dull butter knife* "It it only likes me, for anyone else it useless and no amount of magic can change that." *he spins the dial to pull out a new set of daggers but the watch shorts out. His body stares to shake.* "@%&^&##$@%%^$^#^$&%&$#^" * Panting he lets a small metal tube roll out of his left gauntlet. The Raputor extends. then breaks into two and each half shrinks to five inches. Two Plasma Blades come out* "The game has begun." *Kevin's eye start to glow red. He heads back to the city.* "That is it there going to die!" * he takes a step forward and collapses on the ground. Panting heavily and unable to move*

((OOC: Good going Dema; first off my name is Kevin, second I go by BlackBlade when I'm in "killer" mode which you just forced me to go into. ))

Zymeth

*Finnaly gets to the town* "Hm, seems peaceful enough. Where could that yelling have come from?"

*sees the freed slaves running around a couner. one runs up to him and shakes him* 'You have to help us!!!'

"Ak! Let go of me beast! Quickly before you-" *his shoulders suddenly burst into flame, scaring off the slave* "Aaa!!! The fur... IT BURNZ!!! *thinking: 'Why did it have to be a slave with fur!? Why couldn't it just be human or deamon or a lava creature?'*

*the flames wear down. sees Kevin being knocked out by the guards* "Most interesting... I suppose I could help him and fight off the guards, that could off-set the order of this kingdom they serve! But I don't have enough power, I'm still drained from making it all the way here... I need something to give me strength! I... What's this?" *spots a power chord between two houses* (you did say they have electricity) "What... what is this thing? I can sense energy in it similar to my own..." *gets out his flail-staff with the blade end up and looks at the chord* "It won't be as potent as my magic, but it will work!"

(gtg, I'll continue tomorrow)

Durandal

Roland had been sitting calmly in the cage with his eyes closed. Granted, he was still looking around through his spirit sight, but the effect of having his eyes closed gave him a peaceful air. He watched as the life energies around him moved and hustled. There were a great many of red lives... ones with hostile intents and dark thoughts. But there were also a lot of yellow ones. The yellow lives had initially been locked inside the cages, but they now spilled out into the streets in confusion. Roland referred to the yellow beings as 'normies.' They were people, sure enough, only they weren't all too important. Some of them were good and some evil, but they were never very strong or had much of an impact on the flow of time. It was the green beings that had to be watched. The green lives were ones that had a large effect on the earth as they passed through it. Roland spotted five or six such beings in the chaos around him, and oddly enough one had come from inside the cage that he was still in.

Roland could tell by the way the life forces were leaving his area that there was a hole in the cage, although he could not directly see it. The cage itself was defined in Roland's sight as a large box of dim red, representing the ill intentions housed by his captors as they had put him and the other prisoners in the cage. Roland felt his way through the opened door and turned to the green being standing by the door. The person (Alexander) appeared to be benevolent, so Roland nodded in his general direction and muttered a quiet ‘thanks,’ before walking off in the direction the majority of the slaves were escaping to.

Ahead of him Roland sensed the incoming guards, life forces of very high energy with deadly intentions. Their malice shocked Roland, and he decided that the time for action had come. Roland once again closed his eyes; the aura of peacefulness descending upon him. He held his hands out to his sides, palms down. His lips moved surreptitiously as he muttered some quiet verses of a long-forgotten poem. He then quickly moved his arms so that his right fist was clenched in front of his forehead, palm toward him, and his left hand was grabbing his right elbow. Light began to coalesce into Roland’s fist. The glow grew in magnitude until his hand was too bright to look at without squinting. Roland then yelled, “Durandal! Lend me your strength!” As he did so he thrust his right arm upward and opened his hand, allowing the light to escape. It shot out sideways and formed into a spear made out of pure white light. Eventually the brightness disappeared and all that was left was an eight-foot staff with a two-foot blade made of shining white metal.

Durandal sliced the air nimbly as Roland twirled the spear with deftness uncommon in a blind person. The right corner of Roland’s mouth twitched upwards in a sardonic smile as he spoke to the red lives (the guards) in front of him, “You didn’t think it would that easy, did you?”

Spirit Wolf

Jack sits on the ledge, looking at the sight. "Do you think we should help them? I don't want to enter the fray at the wrong time. They seem to be doing a good job so far, but from what I can see, the reinforcements are headed in. This ought to be interesting." He lays down, continuing to watch.

Demecas

(OOC) ok kevins watch isn't broken it just sounded like it did but it didn't. He still lost his blade to the treasury for now but cause this is a different world things work differently then what he is use to. he will still get possessed or lose control but it will take awhile. Only people originally from this world know how things work. if your from a different world. well things won't work as you expect them too.

*Demecas looks away at a cute Male foxen running for the gates* Humm i think this one is going to be interesting.

I'm sure you can save him if we need to but he sure is a nice distraction. and I have my own now too *she purrs softly watching the dark foxen*

*two low class guards jump in front of the cute foxen. this causes Dema's hair to stand on end and her to hiss.*

annoying guard 1 : Hee hee well well I see we have a runner.
Annoying guard 2 : Hee hee well he won't be able to run when we break his legs.

*the guards attack Him one leaping into the air coming from up high the other going low. both skilled with their moves and attacks.*

Two guards faced off with a crazy guy who called his weapon durandal.

arregent guard 1: Any you really think that will impress us. The guards stance changes as he drops his weapon. the stance is unknown to Roland. but he can tell that it's one that can easily defend against his attacks.

The second guard: Humm your going to be interesting prey.
*touches his sword and it glows red before it changes into a low leveled deamons sword. taking a stance just as dangerous as the others guards.*

Durandal

Roland shook his head and his spiky hair rippled in the wind. "I don't need to impress you," he said. I just need to slow you down long enough to let the others escape, he thought, finishing the sentence in his head.

The guards in front of him far outclassed him, this much Roland knew. They were prepared for him to strike, but he that to do so would be folly. His goal wasn't to win, only to drag out his defeat until enough of the slaves got away. And so Roland made a show of spinning his spear around, moving it in impressive circles that at times came within a hairs distance of his body.

"Wha's a matter? Cat-people got your tongue?" he taunted the guards, hoping that one would make a mistake and lose his cool.

Spirit Wolf

Jack looks at Demecas and smiles. "Looks like you found someone after all. Meh, I'll help him out, but this is going to hurt big time. And I ain't going to be overly gentle with this fox." He jumps down, and dashes towards the guards. then he jumps up, summoning the Staff of Coyote to his hands, and bashing the 2 guards to the side. He lands right next to the fox guy. "You, get out of here. NOW!" Jack picks the guy up and throws him through the gate. "Go on, get out of here!" Then jack looks at the 2 guards that are getting up. This is so not good. These guys might be able to do some serious damage to me. Gotta be careful. He drops down to a defensive position.

Fatalcrash

OOC: Sorry for the long absence, living on the other side of the world will do that to you.

Watching as the blind guy walks out with the confidence of a warrior, Alex shakes his head and steps off the cart. All around, confusion reigned as people ran. Alex was pleased to see that the slaves had all escaped into the street, easily evading the armored guards.

Two guards take on the blind man, who holds an odd weapon with seemingly magical properties. Alex rolls his eyes and pulls out his gun. "Magic users." he thinks. Looking around for someone to shoot, he soon spots a target: A lone guard, advancing towards the blind guy's back. Alex holstered his gun and sneaked up behind the guard, grabbing his sword and lopping his head off. A splash of blood hits his face, staining it red.

Still holding the sword, Kyle charges into the fray as well, interested to see that there are more people in the fight. He leaves the blind guy to defend himself, and soon spots a fox in trouble. Before he can help, however, someone else arrives, tossing the fox through the gates. Alex charges at the two guards cornering the wolf, cutting one down easily. The other reacts quickly, and with the help of another three guards, and despite Alex's best efforts, Alex is forced back along with the wolf. "Hi. Mind if I join in?" he asks.

Demecas

*Alex Sneaks up on a guard trying to kill off Roland and Stops him successfully or at least thats what he thought at the time. The body gets back up as Alex wasn't looking. the helmet had fallen off. What everyone had mistaken as possible orcs turned out to be trolls and Of the smartest evil clans in the lands. The Trolls hand grabs alex by the back of the next throwing him into a brick building*

Captain: arghh I guess Our cover is blown now you stupid fool.

*the captain slashed the troll in half with his sword. this time the troll didn't regenerate.*

*The two guards that jack knocked down gets back up. and square off with him*

Annoying guard 1: Oh you think we will go down that easily.
Annoying guard 2: I'm going to kill you for that you foolish animal.

*As the first guard is snaraling his comment at jack a third guard Knocks jack in the side with battle hammer sending jack into a well in the middle of town. at this point the humans in the town have started to hide in their homes.*

Spirit Wolf

Jack slowly gets up, snapping his arm back in place. "Animal, huh? Look who's talking, pig." He picks his staff up and twirls it around a bit, the totems rattling. Time to make a distraction. He focuses his energy for a few seconds, then slams his foot on the ground, sending spikes of rock springing up from the ground beneath the guards and slamming them into the air. Jack slumps a bit. Ugh, I really need to practice more, that took too much out of me.

BlackBlade

((OOC: for my stupidity, I punish myself by keeping the watch broken, for now.))

*Kevin wake up in a small shack out side of the city* "What happened, I can't remember a thing. after freeing the slaves." 'slaves?' said an old man siting in the coroner of the shack 'slavery was declared illegal a long time ago.' The old man takes a long draw on his pipe. "Where am I?" Kevin asks 'Your about half a mile out side the city found you lien' on the ground.' *Kevin tries to get up but he finds his right arm isn't moving. Kevin removes his armor to find that his arm is badly brunt up to his shoulder. 'that don't look good' the old man said eying Kevin's arm. "No it isn't" *there is a red "!" in the watch screen where time was displayed. "do have a sling and some extra clothes that I can have?" Kevin asked the Old man*the old man hands him a set of clothes and a sling. Kevin changes in to them. He decides that stealth will be key this time. 'Oh' the old man saids 'I found this next to you. It's a rather strange walking stick, I'll say that' *he hands Kevin the Raputor* "Thank you, I be back for my armor later." *Kevin sets off for the town yet again.*

Fatalcrash

Alex pulls himself off the ground with a groan. Rubbing his head, he looks at what he makes out to be a troll being slashed by it's captain. "Trolls? Well, that explains the wonderful smells I got while walking with the caravan." A sudden pain on the back of his head causes Alex to stagger slightly. "Ah, my head. This is what I get for using melee weapons." he thinks. Pulling out the Desert Eagle, he promptly shoots the Captain in the head. Instantly, the bang from the gun attracts the attention of every single guard in the area.

"Oh crap." thinks Alex as a group of four guards advance towards him. He fires the gun again, one bullet clipping one of the soldiers in the shoulder, another punturing the chest of his buddy. None of them stop advancing. Alex tries to fire, but the 'click' sound issuing forth from his gun tells him that he's out of ammo. Holstering the spent weapon, Alex lifts his sword once more, and gets ready to defend himself.

DarkFox

Lance looked up and saw a couple guards blocking his way out of the gate... More scared than ever he ducked as the guards got ready to attack him. Suddenly, he was grabbed by someone from behind, and hurled outside the city gates. Yelling loudly he flew towards the ground and hit it with a loud "thud."

"Owww..." He picked himself up and rubbed the dirt off his fur... looking back at the city, he shook his head. "At least I'm out... that hurt though." turning, he continued to run. He had no Idea where he was going because he had never been allowed to leave the city, but he kept running...

Demecas

*the captain Slowly gets off the ground.*

*green blood ozzing from the wound in his head, the troll looks pissed. as the wound closes up on it's own pushing the metal our of his skull*

Captain: I'm going to kill this one on my own.

Demecas Jumps off the building kicking the captain in the back with a great force caused from her fall. at the time the captain was starting to raise his sword. As demecas hits the ground hard she yells*

Get out of here now we can't hope to win.

*she climbs to her feet only to see that the captain isn't moving. The sword he was about to use went through his heart killing him instantly. the rest of the guards seamed lost as in what to do as their captain was now dead.*

Hurry we need to get out of here before they come to their senses.

*demecas leaves the town swiftly as the guards all go to see what happened forgetting about the fight for now. Demecas leaves the town following the scent of the fox she saw earlier hoping to get to him before jack does.*

Spirit Wolf

Jack hears Demecas' yell. "Right, Beowulf! Come on, we're out of here!" Beowulf dashes over, knocking some of the guards over. Jack jumps on his back and they start to ride off. "Follow Demecas' scent!" They just reach the gate when Jack gets hit in the back with an arrow. "Jack! Are you all right?" Jack slumps down. "Yea...I'm fine... keep going." They head off in the direction Demecas went.

Zymeth

(O.O.C. Argh!!! I can't believe I missed a whole page and the fight is over for the most part... And still nobody bothered to mention me!... T_T sob... Hey, when you said:

BlackBlade

*Kevin looks over the battle field* "Tolls.....I hate trolls...., But that now I know why their punches hurt so much." *He sees Beowulf running in the opposite direction from himself.* "Great more walking" *Kevin starts walking in the direction that Beowulf just ran.* "I hope they don't go to far"

Two miles later, the sun is setting in the woods:

* Two men block the path that Kevin's walking on*
Bandit 1: 'Give us all your money'
Bandit 2: 'And that ring' he points to a Sapphire ring on Kevin's left hand

"You got to be kidding me, I don't have time for this." Kevin rolls his eyes and continues walking.
Bandit 2: Grabs Kevin's left hand and starts to pull off the ring.

*Before Kevin knew what was happening his rune tattoos lit up and his right hand burst into flames and delivered a mean right hoke into the bandit's face. Sending the bandit flying face first into a near by tree.* "You want some?" *Kevin looked at the other bandit, who than ran away.* "Hum... though so" *Kevin looked down at the ring and got lost in thought 'How long has it been' Kevin was bring up a painful memory. [It had been 6 years prior to being dropped on Earth. He had just conquered the rest of his home planet, When Dragon riders attacked his fortress, he was able to defend the fortress, but lost the one person he cared the most about, Linn, His wife, his Queen, and his world. The only thing left in her brunt remains was her wedding ring. He swore on her ashes that he would wear until the day he joined her in the great beyond. But fate is cruel and held Kevin from joiner her, so now he is forced to roam strange worlds alone.]* " Well I think I'll try to fine where Dema and Jack got off to."

Demecas

OOC: (actually that was really good. and I'll allow it since the way magic is used here is pretty close to what you did. but you have to figure it out. of course just so you know the power you used well it was different then you expected. and it didn't come from the wire.

also I didn't have the guards go after you cause you didn't do anything yet. so it made no sense to have them attack you.)

*the guards try to cut at Zymeth but he vanishes be for they would have connected. confused they turn to find that everyone including the slaves have all escaped.*

*Zymeth falls from the sky not that far from the town as he reappears above the tree line. He lands on something soft and furry. to his horror it's the female furry slave he saved in the town.*

Spirit Wolf

Jack manages to pull the arrow out of his back. "Ah, thats better... Oh, damn it! We forgot Kevin!" Beowulf gives Jack a cold stare, then turns around and runs at full speed. "Come on, faster! We need to help hi..." They run Kevin over for the second time, Beowulf trips and tumbles, throwing Jack off. "Ow, we seriously need to watch where we're going, ow."

BlackBlade

"SON-OF-@$@&*^%, you got stop doing that!!" Kevin is holding his right arm which is still badly brunt and in a lot of pain. "that hurts so much more with out my armor on." *Kevin's chest has four large slash marks on it* "But it's a good thing you showed I have a slight problem, and it's not the wounds" *He looks at his chest* "you know that sword I had earlier? Well, lets just say I need back within three days or the will be hell to pay." *he looks at Beowulf then at his arm the at Jack. "A little help?"

Spirit Wolf

"Yea, sure." Grabs Kevin by the shirt and picks him up, then sets him on his feet. "Three days, eh? I don't know if we can. Let's talk to my sister about this. Hop on." He picks Kevin up by the shirt again and throws him onto Beowulf. then hops on himself. they take off at a medium pace. "So then, since we'll be riding together for a while, tell me about yourself."

Zymeth

*Lands on something soft* "Oof! Ow, that hurt, well at least I didn't break anything I think." *Smoke starts coming from under him and he hears moaning*

"What's that smell?..." 'oohhh... I can't feel my tail...' "Who... AGH! YOU'RE THAT SLAVE! and... I'M ON FIRE AGAIN!!!" *Gets off of her and rolls to put out the fur-fire*
'Huh?... Oh! You're the man who saved me back there... Um... How exactly did you end up falling on me?'
"Long story, just know I haven't really come to terms with the way my magic works here"
'Here? What do you mean here?'

"I knew you wouldn't make this easy... Okay I'll give you the short version..." (cuz he doesn't want her freaking out about his being evil once)
"Long ago I created a clan, the Lotus Clan. We thrived in our tech and our magic, but one day I was forced to leave, so I ended up here. Now that I've had time to think about it, this might not even be my world... the way my magic works is different, there are strange objects I've never even heard of(the strange ship and the power chord), and... you! I've never seen any creature like you... well, except for wearwolves, but I know that's different. So now I never know when my powers will actually work! Does that sum it up for you?" *He says this a little sadly*

'Y-you're from another world!?
"Yes, it would seem so."
'That's so sad... You had to leave your home and now you don't know anything about the world around you?... Ooohh

... *Gives him a hug*

*Thoughts: "A hug... It feels so... nice... I'm actually... wanted... I haven't felt like this since before I started using black magic... Why had I avoided moments like this for all those years?..." Smoke starts to come off from his body. "oh... right... thats why..."*

'Oh! Oops, I'm sorry!' *She lets go before any fire starts* 'I forgot about that...'
"Eh, it's fine I guess, just... don't do it again. Oh, I just realized I haven't asked your name!"
'It's Lina(Lee-na). And yours?'
"Um... Zymeth."
'Hehe! Thats a strange name. But you did come from another world I suppose...'

"Yes, well, um..." *Becoming uncomfortable* "I need to go find a job in the next town, since apparently I can't go back to the one I was in."

*He begins walking* 'Wait!' *She runs up to him* 'My village was burned down by those horrible men. I have nowhere to go! Can I come with you?'
"Well, um... Okay, just don't get in my way got that?" *She nods* "Good. Comon then."
*They walk down a path which they do not know where it leads*

BlackBlade

"Well If you must know" *Kevin takes a deep breath* "As you already know I was not born on this planet. But on one very far away. We are so far away from my home planet that the star it circled, is not viable on even the clearest of nights. But about 3,000 thousand years ago it was destroyed in a battle between renegade space pirates and their enemies some sort of police force. Well after the battle I was dumped on a planet called Earth. Dema said she heard of it, but others don't remeber it. Well I was wondering around Earth until about,..... two hours before I met you. When I try to teleport and it dropped me here." *kevin Takes another deep breath* "Well three days is the max time we have. You see that sword, well, it came from my planet with me to Earth and then hear. But I sort of .... made a deal with it.... so to speak. I need to have it back near my body I will go on a blind killing rampage." *Kevin smiles uneasily* "My other weapon" Tap the Raputor "came from the space pirates along with this" points to the watch "It's offline right now but when it comes back online it does a lot you'll have to see it to believe it." *Kevin gets his in the face by a tree branch and falls off Beowulf.*

Spirit Wolf

Beowulf turns around and says, "you have a problem staying upright don't you?" Then he bites the back of his shirt and throws him back on his back. "Now please try to stay up there." Then he continues on. Jack starts to laugh, then settles down again. "Thats a very interesting story. I've heard of earth as well." They continue down the road.

Demecas

*demecas runs fast tracking the fox slave that had run off earlier. It didn't take her long to find him but then she felt weird.* eeeekk

*she jumps up into the trees silently before he can spot her grabing her chest.*

Dema whats with you? why are you acting so strange? You wanted to meet him so bad and now look at what your doing. Just go talk to him. arrrghh but i can't. why does my body freeze up everytimg i think of going near him.

*she follows him from the trees watching him being careful not to make too much noise.* as night rolled around she watched him find a comfortable spot to crash for the night in the woods. when she thought that he was alseep she decided that this was a good time to get a closer look.

Demecas climbs down the tree and approaches him slowly. she stops as her nose is almost close enough to touch his. and she thinks to herself*

~ohh he's so cute.~

She starts to purr loudly without realizing it.*

Fatalcrash

Alex rides through the forest, having escaped the trolls on one of the horses harnessed to the cart earlier on. Looking around, he chooses a direction, and starts to look for someone to travel with so he won't have to fight a bunch of angry slavers alone.

OOC: Um, I don't think I'm able to post at the same times you guys on the other side of the world do, so I'll only post two or three times a day. Feel free to interact with my character if you wish.

BlackBlade

"You know it wouldn't be so bad if I had use of both my arms. But I don't right now okay? plus I doesn't help that I got the snot kicked out of me earlier." *Kevin looks down at his arm* "You don't happen to know any healing spells, do you? I'm kinda bad at magic." *He smiles and looks at the wacth the "!" is gone but it reads 45:15:52.7 (days:hours:mins.secs) and is counting down. * "Well it looks like this will be offline for awhile" *he sighs* "So, I told you about me, what about you.?"

Spirit Wolf

"Let's stop here for the night." Beowulf stops at a clearing in the woods. Jack picks Kevin up and sets him on the ground, then jumps off. "Go get us something to eat, Beowulf." Beowulf dashes off. Jack sets about collecting wood, then starts a fire. "Ok, thats much better. As for healing you, nope. I deal with spirits and elemental magic, I can't heal unless I use spirits, and that takes a lot out of me, I just don't have the energy right now."

Jack picks up 2 fallen logs and sets them near the fire to sit on. Then he sits down. "Right then, my story. Well, I'm Jack Ulfver, as I've told you before. My parents were lesser gods, Fenris and Selena were their names. After the Lich destroyed our town, me and my sister Demecas traveled a lot. we went from village to village, usually being chased out. After a while, it became clear to me that I was too weak to truly help my sister, so I left her to start my training."

"I Have in my possession 3 different weapons, a staff, a sword, and a pair of Desert Eagles." He takes out the staff and Desert Eagles."The Desert Eagles I found in some ruins a long time ago, and I kept them ever since. Lucky I know blacksmithy and chemistry or I wouldn't be able to use them. I make my own bullets. The staff I gained after I finished my training with the wolf shamans of the western plains. Its called the staff of Coyote, a unique staff. The shaman I was training under was surprised that I got it." He stops for a few minutes.

BlackBlade

"DE's nice, good stopping power and has a mean recoil . I like the Smith & Wesson 460 XVR" *reaches for the watch* "I would show you, but it's not ready yet." *he sighs* "My weapons, as you know, are the Master Buster Sword which is somewhere in the town still. So right now I'm usin' my Raputor." *Lifts the pole with his left hand* "the neat thing about this it's made out of some metal I've never heard of, and is powered by two Zero Point Energy crystals. Which allow it to do this." *Kevin thinks [scythe] and a large green plasma blade emerges from the top of the pole.* "Cool, huh? But wait there's more!" *[Spear] the blade narrows and moves to the top of the pole....[Pike] another ax like blade comes from the side. [Sword] the pole shrinks down to 5 inches and a long blade comes from the top. "I like it the it's thought controlled so it keeps the enemies guessing. So what about Beowulf? What's the deal with him?"

Spirit Wolf

Jack is still silent for a bit, then snaps out of it. "Beowulf? Oh, he's my Celestial Bond. I am one of the few who has one, and he's quite a good friend. I found him after I made my blade and thereby finishing my training with... uhhhh, never mind. Here comes Beowulf with dinner." Jack laughs meekly and helps Beowulf with the deer, then starts to cook it.

BlackBlade

"Hey if your going to that, make mine rare, I don't like food cooked that much, it loses it's flavor." *Kevin looks down at his arm the burn is about mid way from his wrist to his elbow and his staring to regain feeling in his fingers.* "another couple of hours and I should be good and ready to fight" *he stops and thinks* "I'm going to need a plan....... hum...... and some help" *he smiles at Jack and Beowulf. "You want to help?"

Spirit Wolf

"Sure, I'll help. Just tell me what I need to do and I'll do it. Hmmm, maybe I should shine my blade." He focuses for a second then shoots his arm out like he's grabbing something. Suddenly a very big blade, almost as big as Kevin's, appears. Anyone who knows blades should recognize this blade as a dragon buster blade, only usable by dragons, and anyone else that tries to use it is killed. The blade itself is gold in coloring with red runes running down it, the hilt is red and the end is shaped in the likeness of a dragon's head. "oh, wait a minute...oops.

BlackBlade

"Nice, My sword is still better. But I need back, the whole side effects thing" *Kevin can now use his right arm again.* "Well here's my plan. Your not going to like it. But you and Beo. do you mind if I call him that?, well anyways you guys go and cerate a distraction and I'll fine my sword then I'll join you." *looks down at the ground* "I know it a stupid plan, but they seem stupid and likely to fall for it."

Spirit Wolf

"Ok, let me get this straight. You want me to go back to that town and get my ass kicked again?" He pauses for a few minutes. "Meh, sure, why not." he lays down on Beowulf's back and starts eating. " Better eat that before we go, I want to talk to my sister before we go back."

BlackBlade

"That okay, I need to go pick up my armor so you go talk to Dema." *Kevin grabs a hunk of meat and bites into it and swallows whole.* "Hey if you need to sleep, I stand guard. I don't need to sleep, all that much." *Kevin smiles* "I know it's strange, but I only need to sleep once every 500 years. I still don't know why. I guess I'm just strange all the way around."

Zymeth

(A perfect time to show off my inventory)
Lina: 'Wow, what are those strange objects you have?'
"What? These things?" *Points to his 3 weapons in his pack* (No, I don't know how he got a pack, but you can't have an adventure without one!)
"Well, this *holds out his main weapon* is The Flail of the Brothers. It is a combination of the strengths of the 3 master brothers, and it's said that it contains a piece of each of their souls to guide it. The staff in the center has a blade at the end of this chain, oh, and watch this!" *Brings up the other end and aims at a tree, a metal leaf shoots out and goes right in to it*

Lina: 'Seems powerful... What else is in there?'
*Puts the flail back and gets out his purple orb* "This is The Serpant's Orb. Considered one of the most powerful weapons of my world!
Lina: 'Really? What does it do?'
"Um... well, I haven't really figured that out yet... I heard the previous Serpant emperor used it to stop a plague of monsters, but I'm beginning to doubt that."

Lina: 'Mysterious... and... what's that last thing?...'
"This is th-" *Stops, not knowing if he should show it* "Um... I mean... Nope! No more weapons!"
Lina: 'But I just saw something in your hand, and there were 3 things in there!'
"Oh, you must be seeing things. I don't-
Lina: 'WHAT IS IT!?' *Tries to wrestle it from Zymeth. Grabs it from the pack while he is surprized* 'Ha now I can see it's... it's a...
*Drops the object in horror*
'EEEEK!!! A SKULL!!! WHY DO YOU HAVE A SKULL IN THERE!?'
"Wait! It's not what you-"
Lina: 'I can't believe I touched it I... DID YOU KILL SOMEONE!?'
"No! Listen... *sigh* Back in my world about 10 years ago (Before his turning evil) I trained in a magic acadamy. I was always studying alone, in silence... But one day someone decided to come over to me and be kind to me... my only friend... His name was Hirochai. He always looked after me when I was weak... Then one day... he was killed by raiders... They took all his belongings and threatened to kill him if he didn't tell him where the other students were. He didn't betray me... They burned his body and only his skull remained, but the skull was magic, for he imbued his will into it. Now anyone who tries to hurt me is weakened by the skull... My Sentry skull.
*Lina sais nothing. Zymeth picks up the skull and puts everything back in his pack. They walk silently*

(After a while) "Hm?..." *He senses some strange energy aproaching*

ginpu

"I do not like this, nope I don't. Amano how did we get so lost. We only went to the usual spot for our herbs, didn't we?"

The small tressym looks up at her. "Gin...You've done it again. You get your mind so set on the task at hand that you don't see what is going on around you." *sigh* "We've been lost for quite a while."

"We have? Why didn't you tell me sooner if you knew??!?!" She lunges at the little tressym who quickly flits out of the way.

"For the same reason we got lost. I tried telling you but you were all in your own little world, yet again." As he flits about dodging a few more attempts made to grapple him. "I am sure things will be fine. I'm here. Besides, your parents are likely to be searching for us this very moment."

"Nommie... What if..." her eyes widen, "What if we never see mommy and daddy again? What if they can't find us and we live out here forever like homeless people begging for a small coin just to buy our next bottle of liquor?"

Raising an eyebrow "Now where did you ever hear something so off beat as that?"

"From Gramma."

*sigh* "Grandmother fell off her rocker a long time ago Gin." "No she didn't. She's never fallen from that. It has arms on it, they hold her in. Mommy even put a seat belt on her." "That's not what I meant Gin. Never mind." "Ok! So now what?"

"Let's start by making ourselves a nest up in a tree...hmmm... this tree should do. Ask the tree if we could get it to bend some branches to make us a bowl shape so that we could rest in it for the evening."

Ginpu does as she is told. She *speaks* to the tree to get a nest created up high. ((I think this would fall under simple plant control, no?))

"Good. Now let's gather up some leaves to add some cushioning and then we'll lay out your blanket on it and get some rest."

"Ok Nommie." she says with a big yawn. "It's past my bedtime anyway isn't it?" She gathers up as many leaves as she can hold and gives herself a running start to fly up to where the nest is.

The two of them lay the leaves around the nest, they use the blanket Ginpu's grandmother had knitted for her ((it's like her security blanket)). They secure Ginpu's bag and belongings. Ginpu curls herself up in the nest, giving one last squeaky yawn. "Goodnight Nommie. We'll find home in the morning right?" "Yes...yes we will" he says as he curls up against her stomach and gives his last yawn of the night.

Spirit Wolf

He finishes off the last bit. "Nah, I'm good. Lets go." hops on Beowulf and pulls Kevin up too. "We have to go before the scent disappears. Lets go Beowulf!" Beowulf takes off as fast as he could without flaming. "You know, you're the first human I've met who didn't freak when I pull this blade out. people are kind of iffy about dragons it seams, heh."

BlackBlade

"I'm use to thing like this. It's been happening to me a lot lately. As for the dragons I hate them THEY KILLED MY WIFE!!!!! *Kevin clams down and starts to spin the ring on his left hand.* "Oh well." he looks up in the trees as they fly past.*

Spirit Wolf

"Woah, pissed off much? Yea, I'm pretty sure the dragons of this place had nothing to do with that, heh. You know, this isn't even my true form. You see this amulet around my neck?" He holds up the amulet to show Kevin. It looks like a crescent moon. "This is what keeps me in this form. My true form is that of a dragon. My parents gave this to me when I was very young to keep from scaring the others. That, and I'm more prone to going feral as my true self, heh." They get close to where Demecas is. "Ah, she's here!" They stop, Jack gets off and approaches Demecas.

DarkFox

Lance lie there, sleeping soundly as the girl moved in close to him. He heard her beginning to purr and awoke with a start, grabbing for his bow quickly. "Ah! Get away! Dont kill me!" He curled up into a ball when he realized his bow was useless at close range...

(sorry for taking so long)

Durandal

One minute Roland had been taunting the guards, and the next the battle was entirely over. Roland looked from side to side, attempting to figure out what had happened, but the end result was the same either way: the fighting was done.

Most of the slaves had managed to clear the area by the time Roland started leaving, and he decided that it was time he did the same. Roland started running, and as he did so he released his hold on Durandal, allowing the spear to fall to the ground. As it did so, it began to disintegrate; dissolving back into the light from which it was formed before it managed to strike the road.

Roland ran past the city gates and past the outskirts of the town. He ran past the decreasing numbers of houses and past the beginning of the forest. He ran and didn’t stop to think about where he was going. All he knew is that he needed to get away. His body was in automatic mode and his feet followed the path without any input needed from his brain. Eventually he almost ran past a pair of travelers walking silently on the path. He would have passed them completely, but his brain managed to kick in fast enough to realize that one of them had a very strong life force.

Roland skidded to a halt and turned to stare at the man. He realized he must look odd to the couple, but didn’t care enough to stop looking at the somewhat short old man. The most interesting characteristic of this puzzling character was his life energy. Rather than a usual red, green, or yellow aura, this man had a very strong swirling life force; only it was what could be best described as translucent. Of course in the spirit world a clear aura showed up very well, but it was still odd.

Roland blinked his dead, gray eyes slowly and then cleared his throat before speaking. “Greetings, fellow… travelers.” He looked at the ground (an act more symbolic than anything since his eyes didn’t affect his vision) and said no more, obviously unsure of how to proceed.

Demecas

*dema just looks at him*

So whats the cute little fox going to do at such a close range with a bow and arrow.

*she places her hand on the shaft of the arrow.*

Plus if I wanted to kill you I could have.

*as she laughs you can hear her purr which is a sign of affection in cat types. her ears twitch as Jack and kevin approach.*

Ah it's good to see you two made it out safely. *she didn't even turn to them*

But you smell of the village that burn down. and I saw you escape the village. My dear brother tossed you clear so you could escape. He even took a hammer to the side.

So whats your name dear fox Mines Demecas but you can call me Dema or what ever you wish as long as you don't insult me or shoot me. *she says with a giggle.*

Spirit Wolf

Jack walks up and spots the fox. "You always had a way with guys, huh? Anyway, nice to see you again." He hugs Deme. then turns to the fox. "So then, what's your name, where did you come from, where are you going, and how well can you fight? These are the things I need to know now if you're going to date my sister." Jack picks the guy up and sets him on his feet. "Ah, I'm just joking with ya. You look like you need something to eat, here." He hands the fox a chunk of deer meat. "Also, ya break my sisters heart, I break you, understand?" Jack sits down, resting his back on Beowulf, who's laying down.

DarkFox

The fox sits nervously looking around at all of them. "Oh, I'm sorry -uh... my names L-Lance... I thank you for helping me get out." He blushed slightly. "I-I had no intention of... uh..." His mind rattled until he saw a piece of meat being handed to him. Discarding other thoughts, he ate instead, his hunger had pushed away all thoughts.

Demecas

*dema looks down at the ground all embarressed.*

J...... Jack. why umm why did you do that.

*her face would be beat read if it wasn't for the fur.*

Jack!

*Her voice gets a bit hostile*
You think I could have well um. you know dealt with that on my own. plus I don't think threatening a guy who doesn't even know that he caught my eye like that is fair. He hasn't even shown any interest in me yet.

*she grabs Jack by the fur on his chest*
I know you love me as your sister and want to protect me but at least let me have a chance to get to know the person first.

Zymeth

(I can't make a very long post cuz it's 11 here)

*Both look at the strange man*
"Who are you!? Lina, do people around here usually run so fast?"
Lina: I haven't seen anyone who can go quite that fast...

*Zymeth gets in a defensive position for he doesn't yet know the man's intentions. Thoughts: "There's something special about him... I don't know if he's good or evil though... well... I guess I was evil, but I still don't trust him!"* (gtg, I'll post after school tomorrow)

Spirit Wolf

Jack smiles, then bursts out laughing. "HAHAHAHAHAHAheheheheheheehohohohohohhh. I've been waiting to do that to you for a long time now. Yer my sister, and as a brother it is my duty to mess with ya." He looks at the fox. "Here." He focuses a bit and a bone-hilted blade appears in his hand. "Take this for now. you can't defend yourself with just that crossbow." Jack hands it to him. "And try not to cut yourself with it, ok?"

Durandal

Roland's brows furrowed as he noticed the tints of red coloring the edges of the man's aura. His hostility became more evident as his stance changed and his attention focused on Roland like a razor; he was obviously ready for anything.

To show his neutral intentions, Roland held his hands slightly away from his body, indicating that he was unarmed. With the skill to summon his spear at a thought the gesture didn't have as much of a meaning as it did in other beings, but it was still important to try and demonstrate that he meant no harm.

"I'm sorry to have startled you two," Roland said, slightly confused. "I didn't think I was running that rapidly, but I was in a bit of a hurry. You see, I... well," he paused, feeling embarrassment coloring his cheeks. "I managed to escape a bunch of slavers in the town back there and I wanted to make sure I got as far from them as I could.”

Roland suddenly remembered the man’s questioned. “Oh, and as for my name, I am Count Roland, wayward adventurer with nary an acre to call my own. At the moment though, I don’t exactly have a destination in mind. How about yourselves?” he asked with a flourish of a hand in their direction.

Zymeth

(Did you mean you weren't going fast, or your char just didn't notice? ~edit~ Answer: didn't notice)

*He loosens his stance* "Fine then stranger, we too were escaping the slavers. My name is Zymeth. I am a scholar of many things and am in need of work. I had hoped to find some it the next town, but we're not sure how far it is. This is Lina, I guess you could say we're traveling companions."

Lina: 'He saved my life! Those slavers burned down my town and took me prizoner along with some of the other villagers and... wait, didn't I see you there too? I remember seeing one human, but I was too scared to take a good look.'

BlackBlade

*Kevin was once again at the old mans shack. Having Jumped off Beowulf went he started to leave the path.* "Thank you for watching this. *He puts on the Armor back on* 'man your arm healed fast' the old man was looking at Kevin's arm that was burnt badly a few hours ago. "Really? It seemed to heal rather slowly to me. Oh, well I should find my friends and then I'm going back to the city to get what I lost and shut it down." * Kevin leaves the old man and starts his hike though the woods to find Jack and Dema. He saw a fire in the distance and headed that way. Half a mile later he stand behind Jack and taping him on the shoulder. "Hello." *Jack turns around and punches him in the face*

(Woot! halfway to level 2)

Durandal

OOC: I thought I'd practice my descriptions so this post is a bit more wordy than it really needed to be. Please, bear with me and I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to improve.

The last of the evening's sunlight completed its long journey from the burning star above by filtering through the ever-moving leaves of the forest. The nature of the shifting leaves caused the light to lose its firm grip on the ground, and by the time it reached the trio standing in the well-worn dirt pathway below it had separated into dancing beams that wavered through the cool breezy air.

"Uh, yes..." the blind adventurer replied. “I was indeed in one of the carts.” Roland kicked at the dirt below lazily, managing only to stir up the surface dust that covered the hardened layer underneath. He looked away from the traveling pair, and when he spoke again shame bled into his words. “I was captured shortly after I woke up; before I even knew what was going on. If I’d only gotten there a few minutes earlier I might have been able to help your village defend itself.” He looked up at Lina with a face full of sorrow. The emotion failed to spread to his eyes, which looked as blurry and dead as ever.

“I…” His voice choked off with emotion and it was a few seconds before he continued. “I’m sorry that I failed you. All those people: dead.” He stopped talking all together and looked away, fixed on a distant place or moment.

Spirit Wolf

"And thats what you do when some idiot tries to sneak up on you while wearing armor. Anyway, I'm glad you're here Kevin, you can explain the suicide mission to my sister while I work on making com links." He goes to work on some com links with an advanced tool kit.

BlackBlade

*Kevin Stands up and cracks his neck* "Didn't feel a thing." *looks at tool kit.* "You had that this entire time?!!!! I could use that to fix my watch!!!" *looks at watch, still broken.* "or at least help it along, a bit. As for my plan, well I guess you need to know why I have this crazy plan. You see the guards took my sword, it's not your everyday sword this sword contains part of my soul and part of my mind. I need to get it back or I will go crazy and start killing any and every thing that moves, or for that matter living. I only about two days left before this happens. So I need a distraction, so I can sneak in and get it from them." * *He smiles* "You can leave once I have it. BUT LEAVE BEFORE AND RIP OFF YOUR HEAD!!!" *Kevin takes a deep breath* "Sorry about that, I be like that if I don't get it back before the time is up. So will join me?" *he walks over to Jack and takes some tools to start fixing the watch.*

Spirit Wolf

watches Kevin fix the watch. "Hmm, interesting thing you have there. I would have brought this out earlier, but we were kinda busy. Anyway, if ya want, I can fix or upgrade almost anything if I have the time or the know how." He continues to work on the com links.

ginpu

Ginpu stirred a bit in her sleep. She began to mumble a bit. Amano woke up and began purring to her which quieted her down. Amano had noticed the talkings of people below. He carefully and quietly creeped out of the nest and tried to get a better look at what was below.

He carefully and slowly walked out further on the branches. Peering between the leaves and branches he was able to make out at least 3 people. None seemed to be anything to worry about, but he decided he would keep an eye on what was going on below for a bit longer before returning to Ginpu's side.

Zymeth

Lina: 'It's not your fault...' *She begins to cry* 'You couldn't possibly have known to get there sooner...'

*Walks off to the side to cry in peace*

"Hmph! I like the girl, but I'm just not used to being around these emotional types. So, um... Ronald was it? Do you know how far it is to the next town? (Doubt you do, but my char has to ask) Lina told me that she had never left her village before this, so she doesn't know. And I'm not from around here so I don't know either."

*The sky is now getting dark. Some stars are visiable*

Demecas

*demecas watches Lance eat the meat.*

Hungry are we?

*she decides to feed the fire by collecting fire wood only to show back up as Jack hits kevin.*

Ok so you want to go and fight trolls again to get your insainly big sword back.

I guess we could do that.

But we die And I'll have to kill you.

*she looks up at the tree above her and smiles*

This all could turn out interesting.

but I do want you to know there has been a lot of human blood as of recently in the air. I think the trolls are killing the humans in that town now.

*she Moves closer to Lance rubing up agains him*

Spirit Wolf

Jack finishes the com links. "Alright then, these things are working again. Here." He passes them around. "Use these to tell me when to start the distraction. Oh, since I'll be the distraction, I'd better change form so they don't attack me on site." He focuses really hard, theres a pattern glowing on his arm, then suddenly he looks human. He has the same clothes except he's wearing a pair of buckled combat boots and the tribal tattoos on his arm are now visible. "Now for sleepy time." He collapses on the ground, snoring.

Durandal

Roland shook his head and looked intently at Zymeth. "It's Roland," he corrected before continuing, "and she just lost everyone she ever knew in life. Don't you think that would be enough to arouse some emotions in just about anyone?"

A sigh escaped Roland's lips and he smiled sardonically. As he spoke with Zymeth, his right hand curved its way through his hair from front to back- a habit he had developed somewhere along the line. "I actually have no idea where I am whatsoever. I guess you could say that I'm not from here as well."

The sounds of muffled sobs tilted their way through the dim air and reached Roland's ears. He spared a glance at Zymeth and then looked back at the ground. "If you do... like her, I suggest you go comfort her. Even just a friendly touch could help her greatly," he advised.

DarkFox

Lanced blushed as the cat began to get closer to him. "U-um, hi? Can I help you?" She was really cute, and she seemed to be pretty affectionate as well. His nervousness began to increase as she began to rub her body against him. He leaned his head on the tree he was sitting by, hopelessly lost as to what to do with his current situation. The guy known as Jack had been passing around these wierd things he called com links... Lance had no idea what those were and watched as the rest of the party took them.

BlackBlade

"Hold on" *Kevin Make a few more adjustments to the watch and closes the cover the display reads 1:02.09* "Okay, I'm ready now. Let's go. " * he put the com link in his ear * "Step one complete, step two get into city unnoticed, step have fun" Jack I riding with you. Just drop on the far side of the city then start." *He realizes that everyone is asleep* " I hate when this happens. Oh I guess I'll I do guard duty" * He pulls out Raputor and starts to think of what's going to happen tomorrow. For the first time in a while Kevin felt at peace like this Planet, was better suited for him. Earth was fine in all, but had grown stale the place was new and fun.* "Plus Zheomer might like here more, possibly more than Earth during the Middle Ages."

Demecas

*demecas lays her head on Lance*

My names Demecas silly I thought I told you that.

*she yahns.* Plus I know you have nowhere to go now. I came from the village they captured you and the rest at. It's gone anyone too young old or injured was killed and the town was burnt.

It's up to you if you want to help them but then again we kind of need to also find out what our two friends up in the Tree are all about?

(Demecas is a feline they notice things like movements and eyes and can also see in the dark quite well.)

*she stares up at the branches above them.*

Spirit Wolf

Beowulf yawns and walks up to Kevin. "You know, they say it's unhealthy to talk to yourself. Just a thought." Then he drags Jack over to some grass and curls around him. Then he yawns again and falls asleep.
