ScArLetSkye June 1st, 2004 3:35 PM

Reane shook her head. "Maybe later, Emiru." She turned away, and took her hood off again, for the cold feling was gone.

Chairman Kaga June 1st, 2004 5:04 PM

OOC: Wow, a lot happened last night...figures it would be the one night I shut the computer down early o_O

IC: Ayrix had been pacing the halls in the night. Despite falling asleep, he had only slept an hour, and that small hour had been plagued by nightmares. He had paced the garden many times from midnight on, and then had paced the castle for hours. Somewhat exhausted now, he was surprised when he saw his friends in a group. Gingerly he creeped up behind them and whispered "What's wrong?"

ScArLetSkye June 1st, 2004 5:08 PM

"Huh?" Reane asked, startled, and turned. It was Ayrix.
OOC: Sorry this wasn't much, I have RPer's block! XD

Chairman Kaga June 1st, 2004 5:19 PM

"Sorry to have frightened you, Reane..." Ayrix muttered.

"I'm sorry I haven't been with the rest of the group much...I've just felt like being by myself for the time being...I hope I don't seem too antisocial or anything like that..." Ayrix bowed his head to the group and took a step back, leaning against the wall, waiting to find out what they were doing.

ScArLetSkye June 1st, 2004 5:22 PM

Reane smiled, understanding. "It's okay. We all need time to just be by ourselves, thinking, wondering, imagining..."

The Vince Knight June 2nd, 2004 4:00 AM

"Well Milord... It's about time I'd go Back to Caelin I've had fun you all and stuff.... But I just can't keep up with you all.... So I'd Have to go.... I might see you all again...." Drago said as he went off to pack his bags and say "Goodbye.".

ScArLetSkye June 2nd, 2004 11:32 AM

"So, let's.. Go in." Reane said anxiously.
OOC: ARGH!RPer's block again! >.<;;

The Vince Knight June 2nd, 2004 10:19 PM

Drago Packed his bag...
"Now I have to go..."
He went of from Ostia....
And he will return.
5 hours later he was in Caelin Packing again.
"I've just come back to get my stuff and sell them at ostia..."
He went once again.
But on the way he met some bandits and he didn't have help soo.... he was stuck because he was surrounded.
"You want me? Come and get me!"
He slashed every single one to death.
"Thats easy."
He continued and found Ostia later.
"I'm back!!!" Drago said

ScArLetSkye June 3rd, 2004 11:20 AM

By herself, she shiftly ran towards the castle, and into it, making her cloak gently swish and sending stray wisps of hair flying through the air.
OOC: Please, someone post!Or this fab RP will die!!:(

100marios June 3rd, 2004 11:30 AM

OOC: Sorry about not posting for a while. My finals are just around the riverbend hehe...

Tear lead the group inside the castle, pushing the front doors aside so they could pass.
A soldier quickly noticed them, and strode forward.
"Good morning my lords! Marquess Ostia has been waiting for you for some time now."
He bowed in consideration.
"He is in the weaponry room at the moment, which is located three doors down to your left, and down the hall."
"Thank you good soldier!" Tear answered, grateful for the directions.
"Come everyone! Hector is waiting for us!"

ScArLetSkye June 3rd, 2004 11:33 AM

OOC: Oh, I see. =/
Reane waited for a minute, then when Tear and the others caught up, she followed them, wondering what Hector could possibly want from them...

Rio June 3rd, 2004 1:37 PM

do any of you know were i can find some Fire emblem sprites because the site i have been using crased and i can't get any more.

ScArLetSkye June 3rd, 2004 3:36 PM

I suggest just going on Google, Yahoo, or any search engine, and typing in Fire Emblem sprites - I tried it, and got some fantastic ones.;)

BIC: Finally, the group came to the weaponery room. Reane was a bit nervous though, and kept her hood on, not wanting to look at the world with a clear gaze, just with a shadowed one, to hide her fears, concerns, and feelings.

Chairman Kaga June 3rd, 2004 3:50 PM

Ayrix was tired...he almost didn't care why Hector wanted them to meet with him...as he looked at the weaponry room, he dreaded to see the no-doubt horrific-looking blades and axes inside...the room was a testament to bloodshed. He sighed, and walked with the group as they entered the room.

OOC: I have RPers block too >_<;; I actually have a plot layed out for the rest of the RP, but the fun of it is how other people make twists for you :P

ScArLetSkye June 3rd, 2004 3:52 PM

OOC: Agreed.XD

BIC:When she came into the room Reane just stood there, like a lost figure encloaked in darkness, looking at some of the blades stored there to occupy herself while they waited for a bit.

Rio June 4th, 2004 2:17 AM

i just did what you said and i got just one face on yahoo and google
i'm confused O.o

ScArLetSkye June 5th, 2004 5:11 PM

OOC: I have one! I'll PM it to you.
BTW, do you like the Reane sprite I did? (I used a Lyn one and edited it, I think it came out well.:))
BIC: A bit impatient now, Reane examined some of the swords. She didn't love fighting, or killing, but it was only to survive.

The girl had always considered sword play more of an art; in her past, she had often watched sword fights, but yet always flinched at the sight of blood.
True, she had practiced with the blade, but only practiced.
The 'adventures' she had were common.... A wolf attack here, a bandit attack there...
But never like the ones she was having now.
She wondered if any of her friends were like that, not wanting to hurt innoccent, or to hurt anyone at all.

100marios June 5th, 2004 8:16 PM

OOC: Well, after quite a bit of RPing block, I think I'm ready to do this little expedition of ours! It's been fun, and it all goes uphill from here!

Tear walked through the long hall, admiring many of the different weapons hanging off the walls in various different fashions.
Wow...he thought. All these must of been recovered from Hector's battles with the Black Fang....
...and Nergal. He said to himself.
There were lances propped up in weapon stands along the sides of the hall. Swords were pointed upwards towards the ceiling. Bows had a spot all their own, not mixed in with the various other weapons, probably to keep them from being cut. One weapon, however, really caught his interest. A great double-bladed axe, yellow on the blade portion, and a dark black for it's handle. It was hanging proudly above the doorway to the room where Hector was waiting for them; shining brightly from the light outside.
Could that really be...... Armads? He thought to himself, astonished.
A weapon used by the Eight Generals themselves. A legendary weapon.
He heard of the splendor of the weapons used in the time of the Scouring, but never actually laid eyes on one until now. He was rather perplexed though, for if he had such a weapon in his hands, it would be his most treasured of all. He would keep it in his own room.

The group reached the door leading to the main room, when Tear turned around.
"Everyone ready?" He said, looking upon each of his companion's faces.

ScArLetSkye June 5th, 2004 8:19 PM

OOC: Reane is already in there, so, um, can you edit it to say that we went in? Or should I delete those posts I did?

100marios June 5th, 2004 8:22 PM

OOC: Oh..... really? Whoops hehe.... sorry about that!
You don't have to worry about deleting or anything.... we'll just continue from here! It does feel rather strange to keep going though. No one else is on except you and me!

ScArLetSkye June 5th, 2004 8:26 PM

OOC: Yeah... But oh well....
BIC: The lavender eyed Caelin turned, and looked at her companions. She wondered what they'd think if they found that out abou her. Was it her weakness? She wasn't sure.

Chairman Kaga June 6th, 2004 5:45 AM

OOC: Wasn't Hector supposed to meet us in that room before we left? :P Give me a couple more days and I'll be over my RPers block. My mind needs to recuperate from getting out of school a little more =P

BIC: Ayrix turned and walked out of the room, glad to not see the weapons anymore. In the past few days he had seen more swords and axes and blood and death than he would have ever cared to see, especially since some of it was wrought by himself. I don't care if Armads was in that room...it's fascinating to see that amazing weapon, a weapon which has helped to save Elibe twice, but it's still sad. I hate the Black Fang just as anyone, but I can't help feel sorry for all those who have died at times...am I too weak? I'll have to stop this thinking if I myself am supposed to do the killing...

"Oh, sorry I'm late, folks! I have some important information for you all, as well as some gifts!" They all looked to see Hector shouting the words, running down the hallway flanked by two guards who carried bulging sacks in their hands...

ScArLetSkye June 6th, 2004 6:18 AM

Reane turned, suprised at Hector's out burst.
The girl didn't know what to say...
But hoped she wouldn't embaress herself.

oni flygon June 6th, 2004 8:30 AM

OOC: I'm really lazy looking up at the pages...can anyone tell me what happened? ^_^;

EDIT OOC: Never mind... now I got it! XD

"Where am I supposed to be..." Oni muttered. He was lost in the streets and was left out thanks to the excitment.
"I think they're in the castle." HE headed off into the castle armory.

ScArLetSkye June 6th, 2004 8:56 AM

She noticed the bulging sacks, and now wondered what was in them.
Presents? How strange...
Then, her thoughts shifted to something else, something she had just realized.
Wait... My brother... No one ever said they found his body... Just that he was dead, killed... My mother's body was recovered... So... Maybe.... He's still alive?
The girl thought hopefully, her eyes now closed in thought.

oni flygon June 6th, 2004 8:58 AM

Oni opened the door to the armory.

"There you guys are!" He said and sighed with releif. He noticed something. "Oh yeah, isn't Lord Hector supposed to give us gifts?"

ScArLetSkye June 6th, 2004 9:05 AM

Reane noticed Oni come in, and greeted him with a small smile, then absently turned around and looked at the rest of her companions.

The Vince Knight June 7th, 2004 4:11 AM

OCC: I'm sorry For not posting for a long time... UNLESS EVERYONE IGNORES ME!
IC: "We Don't really need gifts.... Unless they are weapons.... Yeah They are we are in the armory I forgot..... Can I have a runesword? Or maybe a silver sword?"
Drago looked out the window as he saw the sun go down.

ScArLetSkye June 7th, 2004 5:40 AM

Reane grinned as she heard Drago say that, then quickly returned to gazing at the weapons, then at the windows.

Chairman Kaga June 7th, 2004 6:21 AM

Hector laughed when he heard Drago. "No, I can't spare anything that good, but I do have weapons for each of you. I admit I know no information about these rogue bandits, but I'm sure my spies will have me informed soon enough. You're the best defense we have at the moment because you know the most about them, not to mention that you're all prodigious fighters. I wish you all the best."

Hector grinned and beckoned his servants forward. They came, and on bended knee opened the bags. "That being said, it is my pleasure to arm you all with new weapons." He knelt down, reaching into the first bag.

"I have something for everyone...if it doesn't suit your fighting style I'll be happy to find something that does, though..." He pulled out a sword.

"Lord Tear! I have here for you a Steel Sword."

"Reane! I have here for you a Longbow."

"Druid Ayrix! I found this Nosferatu tome lying around in a storage room...this ought to suit you."

"Oni! Here, take a pair of Killing Edges. They ought to work out for you."

"And you, Drago, here is a Steel Sword for you as well."

"Did I miss anyone?" Ayrix bowed on one knee after receiving his Nosferatu tome from Hector. He thought this would come in very handy...he had a tendency to become weak in battle--this ought to counteract that.

ScArLetSkye June 7th, 2004 6:39 AM

Reane's eyes sparkled as she recieved the Longbow.
I always wanted one of these... Now I'll be able to shoot a great distance.... I hope that will help my friends...
"Thank you, Lord Hector." The girl thanked the man as she examined it.
Along with swordplay, she enjoyed archery, perhaps even more than the use of the sword...
She knew that most Lords, or Ladies, preffered swords to the bow, but she actually preffered it, since it wasn't as bloody.
OOC: Please look at the sprite I edited to look like Reane in my profile.
Thanks guys!

Chairman Kaga June 7th, 2004 9:20 AM

OOC: Awesome sprite! I ought to make one for myself, but I seriously doubt it would look as good since all I have to work with is MS Paint @[email protected]

BIC: Ayrix looked around at his comrades and their new weapons. He pocketed his Nosferatu, bowed greatfully, and stepped back to examine Reane and Tear's weapons. I just hope I never have to use this...but if my pursuers catch up with me, I'll have no choice. I'm just glad I have people to protect me now...

ScArLetSkye June 7th, 2004 9:26 AM

Reane sensed someone, and looked up.
Noticing it was Ayrix, examining her new bow, she smiled then looked back down at the weapon.
A sudden thought struck her, a reminder that she had to go get the rest of her supplies.
Thank Saint Elimne I remembered...
Thankful that she remembered to do that, quickly, without anyone noticing, she swept out of the room.
OOC: If I spelled that name wrong, sorry! ^^;
EDIT: My 2,000th post! Coolness!^^

100marios June 7th, 2004 9:39 AM

Tear accepted the gift kindly, but was rather astonished at Hector's great kindness, for being such a large, gruff-looking man.
He's a brute, no doubt about that, but he has a heart of gold!
He admired the weapon in it's royal sheath, and then attached it to his belt across from the other sword Hector gave him, so he had a sword on each side.
"We give you our most humble gratitude Lord Hector! You are truly one of the greatest men I've had the honor to meet."
He reached out his hand and shook it with Hector's mighty one.
"However, I'm sure we must be on our way. Anymore gifts and I'm not sure I'll be able to move!" He laughed, as he rested his hands on each of his sword shafts.
Hector smiled, and motioning for several servants behind him, he began to speak to the group.
"Your journey will be a long one, so we have prepared rations for each of you. It's been a pleasure to have you in my kingdom. More fun then I have had in years!" He said, with a rolling laugh following.
"I'm positive you will be able to conquer whatever obstacle may block your path.
.....and with that, farewell!"
He nodded, as the group headed back for the door.
Just before Tear exited however, Hector rushed up to him.
"Tear! I have.... something I want you to give to Emiru."
Tear looked down at a steel sword in a sheath, wrapped with a light blue bow.
Jewels were encrested in it's handle in a splendid design. Tear gazed at the sword, and slowly took it from him, as he raised his head back up to meet Hector.
"Tell her, it's a gift from her parents. They are really worried about her, and have questioned me many times of her whereabouts, once during your stay. Although I now know she is in your company, I have yet to tell her parents.... in fact, I mean not to. She needs peace and time to be free from her homeland, and I believe that path is with you and your companions, Tear. They sent this sometime ago, but I've never had the chance to send it to her. Be sure to give her this."
Tear smiled, and held it carefully, as he began to walk away.
He really is a great man...He thought.

ScArLetSkye June 7th, 2004 9:45 AM

Taking up her pack, Reane departed from the room, and went out to seek her friends, hoping they hadn't left already.
I hope I can find Emiru, maybe I can talk to her a bit more...
The girl thought as she caught up with the others, never pausing to take her hood off.
This hood will stay on. Why should I even take it off? I can feel miserable without anyone seeing, no one has to see my true feelings.... Besides, it's not like any of the people I am traveling with would want to see how I am feeling....

Chairman Kaga June 7th, 2004 10:06 AM

"Lord Tear, if we have no more business in Ostia I suggest we go to the mountains between Bern and Sacae...Bulgar wouold be a good place to get to for now. If we can get to there, there's bound to be more people who know about the Taliver Bandits. I'm sure the nomads know something; the bandits are supposed to raid their camps regularly..." Ayrix knew it was dangerous, but the farther away from Etruria he was the better. It would be a long time before any of those who hunted him decided to check Sacae. Even though it was dangerous, it would be a great hiding place...

OOC: I made a custom Ayrix sprite...not the way I wanted it to come out, but it's a start! (I wish I could have gotten the cloak black and still make it look good, so I just used Canas's cloak color for now.

http://img41.photobucket.com/albums/v127/ChairmanKaga/fecustom.bmp

100marios June 7th, 2004 10:07 AM

OOC: Oh! Cool Ayrix sprite! I should try making one of Tear too.....
Sometime hehe...

Tear lead the group to the healing house, where their belongings lay. As they each schuffled through their possesions, Tear came by his old Pharean outfit. He inspected the several holes and tears in it, as he tossed it around it in his hands.
"It's junk," he said, quietly to himself. "But I just don't have the heart to throw it away. It's a memory of my past....."
He dropped his pack onto his bed, and, gently folding it, put the suit inside.
"There," He said, strapping his pack onto his back once more. "I'm ready to go!"

Tear listened to Ayrix's comment, and agreed.
"That would make sense. Though I'm sure our road will become harder in that direction, it's the best place to find out about these bandits.."

ScArLetSkye June 7th, 2004 10:11 AM

Reane stopped, for Tear had come into the room, followed by everyone else.
So, she simply stood by the door, and waited.
While waiting, she saw Tear hold up his Pharean outfit, then put it away.
It must have brung back memories... The girl stood there, eyes closed in thought.
OOC: Yeah, it's kewl! ^^

Chairman Kaga June 7th, 2004 10:16 AM

Ayrix grabbed his sack of items and sat down on a wooden bench. "I'm ready whenever you all are." He said. He stared at the outside of the room, sunlight shining in the doorway. At least today will be cheerful...I don't know about tomorrow or any day after today...

ScArLetSkye June 7th, 2004 10:19 AM

OOC: I'm working on a cloaked Reane one right now.. ._.
BTW, you can sort of tell Reane is.... Um, in... A sad state. XD

BIC: Reane stood, heard Ayrix comment 'I'm ready whenever you all are.'
Her eyes remained closed as she waited for the others.

Chairman Kaga June 7th, 2004 10:25 AM

OOC: Ephidel works good for a cloak ^^;;

BIC: Ayrix suddenly became uneasy, thinking of the people who were after him. I wonder if they're close, if they could possibly know where I am right now? If they do, they will not be reluctant to kill my friends to get to me...I am a liability, but I daren't tell them anything...they have an important mission, and I must help them. Ayrix still wasn't fully convinced that he wasn't going to be the death of all of them...he shuddered at the thought.

100marios June 7th, 2004 10:27 AM

OOC: Don't worry, I noticed hehe...
Tear began to walk out of the house, when he passed by Reane, who was holding the door.
"Oh, thank you Reane! That's very kind of you! I was--Reane?"
He noticed, underneath her hood, that she was in a very solemn state. Eyes closed, blank expression.
"Is there something you want to talk about Reane?"
He said, in a caring tone. He noticed that Reane had been acting like this a lot lately, ever since he bore her out from the battle that seemed so long ago.
"Are you okay?"

ScArLetSkye June 7th, 2004 10:29 AM

Reane opened her eyes at the sound of Tear's voice.
"Huh?... Oh, nothing Tear. Nothing." She said in a expressionless tone that matched her face.
"Let's go."

Chairman Kaga June 7th, 2004 10:33 AM

Ayrix looked sullenly over at Tear and Reane.

Must be lords' business...I'd better stay out of it...

100marios June 7th, 2004 10:39 AM

Tear watched helplessly as Reane exited the room, her dark hood covering her expressionless face from all the light that tried to reach her.
I hope she's okay.....He thought to himself, worried.
He motioned for Ayrix, and exited the room after her.

ScArLetSkye June 7th, 2004 10:43 AM

Reane swiftly walked through the hallways, ignoring all light, focused on only two things: One, her brother, and two......
What is the other thing? Something is... Bothering me....
She thought as she slung the strap of her quiver across her shoulder.

Chairman Kaga June 7th, 2004 10:50 AM

Ayrix dashed out of the room, following Lord Tear's command. Apparently that wasn't lords' business...something must be really wrong with Reane, she seems so miserable lately...

Ayrix considered asking Lord Tear what was wrong, because he didn't feel right asking Reane for some reason. Lord Tear would probably tell him something; after all, all Ayrix wanted to do was help...

100marios June 7th, 2004 11:12 AM

Tear and Ayrix, following Reane, left the castle and approached the gate.
Tear was still deeply troubled for Reane, when he walked up to the gate and began speaking.
"Well, everyone. Here is where our adventure truly starts. The enemies we face will be tougher, the storms that will pass, harsher. Everything from this point on will be a greater challenge then anything any of us have faced before. That is why we must stay together. Recieve strength from your friends around you. As a group, our fellowship will break through the dangers of any course.
And now, we set off!"
He turned at the opening gate, sighed, and began walking into the plains.

ScArLetSkye June 7th, 2004 11:20 AM

Reane nodded quickly, then followed him, eyes often straying to the blue skies above, thinking as she went along.

OOC:ARGH! RPer's block again! Nooo....

Chairman Kaga June 7th, 2004 12:33 PM

"Now where are we headed again?" Ayrix asked in a half-laughing, half-sighing sort of way. He was flipping through the pages of his Nosferatu tome, translating the runes then attempting to memorize the instructions and activation phrase. He held his hand out in a cupped position, and a single purple blob, which looked like a translucent leech, appeared and disappeared at will.

"This ought to work out alright..." Ayrix muttered to himself...

ScArLetSkye June 7th, 2004 12:43 PM

Reane lightly shrugged, and then, dreamily, yet sadly, looked off into the sky again, searching its never-ending fields of clouds.
Her lavender eyes held regret, wonder, excitement... And anger.... All at once. All those emotions. All at once.

Trying her best not to break into sobs, or do anything rash.... She bit her lip and kept silent.


OOC: oO;
I know it sounds rather..... Weird.... (And anger? I'm not sure if she WAS feeling that, but the opening song.... *Sigh*) But I was listening to the opening theme, and it got me sort of... You know. XD

Chairman Kaga June 8th, 2004 9:48 AM

Ayrix took one last look at the castle as it disappeared into the distance. Its tall spires and grand arches still seemed to dominate over all Ostia even from such a far distance. He was in with a small party and headed for who-knows-where, but it was a good feeling to be on the move again. He continued to practice with his Nosferatu tome, creating individual balls of purple light, moving them, then making them disappear. He hummed to an old, cheerful Etrurian ditty as he went along, the fear of what lay ahead not in his mind for once. He waved his arm, creating more small purple ghost-like things in the air, and formed them into a ring which rotated around him. He let control of the things go, allowing them to spin around him on his own, but to his great shock he noticed that the circle around him had become more like an ellipse, pointing to a direction in the distance. No one had noticed him practicing, or at least had not cared to watch for now, but he spoke, just loud enough to where the whole party could hear, “Something’s amiss.”

They looked at Ayrix, puzzled, then Ayrix began again. “There’s another magic user somewhere in this vicinity...do you see the Nosferatu spell around me? It shouldn’t be pointing like this...it’s being drawn to someone else’s magic power. I have a bad feeling we’re being watched...”

ScArLetSkye June 8th, 2004 5:07 PM

Reane nodded slowly, and took ou her new Long Bow, along with a arrow.
"Should we go see who?" The girl asked, eying Ayrix attentively, while readying her bow.

100marios June 8th, 2004 7:41 PM

The man from my dream....Tear thought, as he watched the ellipse- shaped Nosferatu encompass Ayrix.
He glanced around to find his companions tense, holding out their weapons in front of them.
"Wait," he said, turning his icy stare in the direction of the spell.
"Not all of us should go. If whatever we meet out there is a foe, as a group, we would all be caught unaware."
He strode forward from the company as he said this, gripping the shafts of his swords tightly as he began to pull them out.
".......I can go and check...."

OOC: Oh blah, I have a bad case of RPing block. I need a good night's sleep hehe...

Chairman Kaga June 9th, 2004 6:53 AM

Ayrix felt drawn to the source of the magic pull. His Nosferatu was pointing like a compass arrow to whoever was in the distance... "They're in the trees..." Ayrix whispered.

"Don't follow me...if any of you were to combat a magician you'd probably end up dead in ten seconds. I'm not the most powerful Druid, but I can take a whole lot more magic and survive." He remembered the night he had been struck by Excalibur and had somehow lived to tell the tale...it is rare that the Excalibur tome is ever used, but even rarer for someone to survive. He knew he had an amazing resistance to magic, and also knew why, but he could never tell anyone.

Ayrix became smaller and smaller in the distance. It was almost dark outside, and the party was a league out of the gates of City Ostia on the border of the wilderness. Ayrix stepped ever closer, his Nosferatu lighting his way with an eerie purple glow on the ground.

Yes, closer, you have nothing to fear... A voice appeared inside Ayrix’s mind. Ayrix jumped, his Nosferatu breaking down into smaller bits and flying off.

“Who’s there? How have you broken into my mind?” Ayrix shouted. He gripped his head and tried to look around, but he was enveloped in darkness. He had not realized how far he had wandered into the forest.

“I said, WHO’S THERE?”

Closer, now, closer... Against his will, Ayrix found himself moving closer to the source of the magic aura, and while mindlessly following the direction, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head and saw a bright light above him. He was unable to move.

I want you to kill your friends, then come back here. Do as I say, Ayrix Ayrischon of Etruria. The Count Reglay has ordered their death and your return and submission... The light came from a staff a few feet above him, and he saw the silhouette of a person in a formal sage outfit in front of him. He couldn’t move, but when the man above him waved his staff he felt all control go out of his body. He got up, ran out of the forest, and saw his friends in the distance...a sudden urge to kill them came over him, and he activated his Fenrir, clutching two purple flames in his hands...he walked closer. He felt his face contorting and his body twitching as he stepped closer to them.

Kill them... The voice whispered to him. He couldn’t resist.

“No...” Ayrix thought. He was standing a few feet from them, their faces, which were lit up by the light of Fenrir, were in terrible fear. Tear had his sword drawn, Reane had her bow ready and aimed at Ayrix.

“I won’t kill them...” Ayrix thought. Oh, but you must!

“No, I refuse to...” Ayrix searched his mind for some way to control his body. He summoned all of his magical power at the last moment has he felt his arms raise to release the spell.

He heard someone from the group say “Please don’t make me do this, Ayrix...” He felt his fingers begin to open. He concentrated all his magical power to his fingers to stop it.

How dare you resist me? The voice hissed. Ayrix then tried to move his hands, and by making them move a slight bit on his own he then felt a small amount of control rush forth over his whole body. He tried to speak.

“Don’t...shoot...under...sage’s...control...flee...” And before the sage could exert control over his body again, Ayrix shot the Fenrir flames at himself, causing him to fall to the ground unconscious.

ScArLetSkye June 9th, 2004 3:09 PM

As she heard those words, she was filled with a deep anger and hatred or the other person, the sage.

"No!!" Reane's voice rang out, as she stood paralyzed, unbelieving, and wide mouthed as she saw Ayrix slump to the floor. Not knowing what to do she stared, unable to move.

100marios June 11th, 2004 7:51 PM

Tear watched helplessly in horror, as Ayrix fell to his knees from the intensity of his own attack.

He did it..... for us.... He thought to himself, his mind racing in a blur of sorrow, sympathy, and regret.

Soon enough though, his thoughts were revolving around one thing.......

Revenge..

He raced off, away from his companions, into the field that was ahead of him.
"Fight me you coward!!" He yelled, his voice echoing throughout the grassland. He raised his sword up, ready to face any foe that meet him face to face.

The Vince Knight June 12th, 2004 1:10 AM

"Ayrix!!!! No.... how??? Grrrr....You Coward! Show yourself I'LL KILL YOU!"
Drago said with lots of anger.
"How did this happen? Was it a magic seal? Magic seals can stop magic... But I never knew they can reflect back... But... This isn't... Fair......Grrr..."

Drago Lifted Ayrix and Put him in a tent where he could rest.
Drago then went out and got a torch.
"I'll help you Tear! This time we go together!"
Drago Lifted his sword and ran to the nearest enemy and With a lot of anger he slashed and slashed.

ScArLetSkye June 12th, 2004 7:55 AM

"I'll help you both!" Reane cried as she was brought back to her senses.
Racing towards the two, she stopped.
And waited.
"Show yourself!"

Chairman Kaga June 12th, 2004 9:39 AM

Ayrix was somewhere between consciousness and unconsciousness as he saw his friends run off into the woods to battle whatever it was that had taken control of him. He was too weak to move, to speak, to do anything but watch as they ran to their deaths...

Unless...

Ayrix suddenly had an idea, but if it didn't work, he doubted anything would. If this didn't kill him, it would make him strong enough to save his friends. He tried to put his lips together, struggling to make any noise at all. After a few moments, he was finally able to mouth a few words, and began chanting under his breath. Almost instantly, the nosferatu spell appeared around him, and it flew through the grass and sunk into Ayrix. He was able to speak somewhat louder. This time, larger nosferatu spells flew out around him and went into more areas of surrounding grass, flying back into Ayrix after a few seconds. He looked around by the feeble light of his spell to see that the grass for fifty feet around him was brown and dead. He was sucking the life out of the plants around him, and it was succeeding.

Please, just let me get there in time... Ayrix thought, continuing to take the lives of the plants around him as his own...a few more times and he could probably get to his feet, but it might be too late...

ScArLetSkye June 12th, 2004 9:42 AM

Reane caustiosly strung her arrow onece more, aiming it into the darkness.
"Come. Out." The girl's eyes blazed with pure rage as she thought of Ayrix, Ayrix lying on the ground...

Chairman Kaga June 12th, 2004 1:48 PM

Ayrix was on his knees, shaking terribly. He was attempting to summon the strength to stand up, but couldn't. He had sucked the life from all the grass in his range of vision and wondered what he would do now. "The trees..." He whispered to himself. He focused the direction of his nosferatu towards the trees, watching as the small globes of light went into the forest, dimly illuminating it. He was becoming aware of the horrible burning sensation coming from his Fenrir burns, and he tried to block the pain out of his mind as he watched a distant tree shrivel, the leaves falling off all at once. The globes of purple light, now incredibly bright from carrying the energy of the tree, merged with Ayrix, and he felt a rush of energy enter him, and he stood up, shakily but stable enough to begin walking. He began to slowly walk in the direction of his friends' distant voices, and as he began to ran he drained the life from another tree in the distance as he headed toward the woods.

He quickly brought forth and snuffed out his Fenrir to make sure that he felt well enough to do it, and entering the edge of the forest, he stood for a moment, draining the life from the trees on each of his sides, then ran deeper in, shouting "Reane! Tear! Get out of there, he'll kill you! Quick, he's somwhere in the forest and whatever it is had the power to control me!" Puffing, out of breath, he dashed further into the dark forest, illuminating himself with a ring of nosferatu in an attempt to get his friends' attention.

ScArLetSkye June 12th, 2004 1:56 PM

"What?!" Reane asked, as she heard Ayrix shout her name, suprised to hear his voice, of all people's.
Now paying close attention, she got Ayrix's message, and gazed out into the deeper part of the forest before replying.
"Come on Tear, Drago... Ayrix, we are coming!"

Chairman Kaga June 12th, 2004 2:23 PM

Ayrix ran up to meet the rest of his party. “No time to explain—get out of here, NOW!” As they ran past, Ayrix saw a bright light appear before him—the sage had appeared from nowhere, and instantly shot the shining blue crescent of Excalibur at the fleeing warriors. With a split second to react, Ayrix cancelled it out with a blast of Fenrir, looking behind him for a second to ensure that his comrades were making it out of the forest safely.

“You’re stronger than they claim you are back in Etruria, Ayrix.” The sage said, sneering.

“No matter though, I can still instantly take control of you.” The sage held up a staff pointing it at Ayrix. Ayrix suddenly leaped behind a bush and shot a giant blast of Fenrir at the sage, who barely dodged it, and responded with an Excalibur which hacked off the bush a few inches above Ayrix’s head.

“So my pursuers have followed me all the way to Lycia?” Ayrix shouted angrily.

“I have said it every time I am attacked, I shall say it again—Count Reglay will never use me as a tool for death and destruction.” Ayrix dodged another Excalibur, which splintered a tree behind him a moment later.

“It is not for us to judge why Count Reglay demands your services—although a runaway, you are still one of his subjects and under his rule, now submit to me!” Ayrix was keeping his distance. If he got any closer, the sage could possibly enter his mind in a second. Ayrix hoped that if the sage attempted to do so, he would have a harder time because of his experience with mind control the first time around.

“I am in Lycia, not Etrutia! I live by my own rules!” Ayrix shouted from somewhere in the darkness, launching a circle of Fenrir flames around him.

“Count Reglay has changed—he no longer respects Etruria’s love of peace, instead he has a growing thirst for power. He has succumbed to madness!” Ayrix yelled. An Excalibur spell came from the darkness, missing Ayrix by two feet. Ayrix ran behind a bush and shot two Fenrir flames in opposite directions, and the illumination in front of him gave him a glimpse of the Sage, who ran toward him.

Ayrix redirected a nearly point-blank Excalibur with his purple flames, and then backed off, but not far enough. He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, and realized that the sage was trying to gain control of his mind again.

“I won’t...let...this...happen again...”

You have no choice... Ayrix felt control over his own magical powers lessening to the point where he realized he could no longer summon any spells on his own. He was feeling much weaker, and was soon staggering. He felt the control over his limbs begin to leave his body, and saw the light from the sage’s staff before him. Ayrix realized he had one last chance to regain total control of his body, and in an instant he pulled his Physic staff from his cloak and hurled it at the sage. It hit him in the face, causing his spell to break and for him to fall backwards. Ayrix felt control immediately return to his body, and with newfound strength he dashed over to his staff, and smashed it into the sage as he struggled to get up again. Ayrix set his foot on the sage’s chest and summoned a monstrous Fenrir flame.

“No one dares control me.” Ayrix growled, and released the flame, but a white flash of light appeared where the sage was, and in the instant the Fenrir would have slain him, the sage disappeared again. After realizing this, Ayrix felt rage pulse through his veins, and he let out an angry scream, causing owls and other birds to fly out of the trees around him...he couldn’t believe the fiend got away...

Next time I see him, I’ll finish him for sure...

ScArLetSkye June 12th, 2004 2:32 PM

Reane stopped, and looked at Ayrix carefully, putting back her weapons.
As if reading his mind, she suddenly said "Don't worry... Ayrix, I'm sure you will get him next time...".
Saying so, the lavender eyed girl placed a hand on the Druid's shoulder, although not sure that she should, wanting to reassure him.

Chairman Kaga June 12th, 2004 2:40 PM

"Oh, Reane, it's you..." Ayrix said softly. He turned around to look at her.

"You mean you didn't leave the forest? It was incredibly dangerous for you to stay behind and watch the battle. If he saw you, he could have taken control of you and have you kill yourself or others, but it's over for now. Let's see if we can get back to the rest of the group...I think I ought to answer any questions they might have. I think I know why that sage is after us..." Ayrix stood up, brushing the leaves off his cloak, and began to walk out of the woods with Reane...

oni flygon June 12th, 2004 2:45 PM

Oni was seem to be left out in Ostia.
"Oh great...I got seperated again..." He muttered softly and looked around. "Where are they? I knew I shouldn't have overslept..."

ScArLetSkye June 12th, 2004 2:52 PM

"Well, I just... Was.... Waiting, in case you.... Needed any help." Reane closed her eyes, then opened them, revealing her seemingly sad lavender colored orbs.
"But yes, let's get back to the group."
The two continued on their way to the others.

oni flygon June 12th, 2004 2:57 PM

"Ack, where are they?" Oni cried in diesperation as he left Ostia's walls. He carried his sword on his shoulder. He looked around and asked a few people if they ever saw a druid come by. Of course, Ayrix is the only most noticable person in the group since he wore huge dark robes.

"Old man, you sure you haven't seen any guy in dark robes?" He asked one of the villagers.

"Nope," Said the man. "But I've seen a beautiful lady with hair green as the forest walk over there a few days ago," He said pointing to one road.

"A few days ago? Since when?"

"Say two days ago. Yep, preetiest gal with the most saddest eyes I've...hey!" The old man cried as Oni started to run.

"Sorry, Mister. Gotta run!"

100marios June 12th, 2004 2:57 PM

Tear was preoccupied on his way out. His eyes gleamed with each of the falling leaves that floated down in front of him. He held out his battle-worn hand to catch one, but it floated around it as it continued on it's way towards the ground. He clenched his hand and put it back by his side, as he continued his walk.

No one...... really knows me.... he said himself.
They look at me, and find nothing but a noble, one who has it all but has seen nothing.
They do not know...... of..... my mistake....

He continued to tread upon the beaten path, as he lay sight on a steep mountain range.

I guess that will be our next obstacle...

ScArLetSkye June 12th, 2004 3:02 PM

When they arrived, Reane looked around worriedly for Tear.
I've been meaning to talk to him... Maybe he'll understand... I know he's much more than what he appears... Maybe he'll agree...
As she thought this, the girl scanned the forest with a sharp, emotionless gaze, yet with hints of worry in them.

oni flygon June 12th, 2004 3:05 PM

Oni stood in the entrance of the forest.

"They couldn't have gone here..." Oni muttered to himself. He looked on the ground. "They have!" He noticed Ayrix's trail made from his heavy robes. He looked at the menacing dark forest once more.

"If they're there, then I'd be there!" He then continued to run as fast as he can.

Chairman Kaga June 12th, 2004 3:15 PM

"Oh, there's Lord Tear over there...it looks like everyone's ok." Ayrix followed a few paces behind Renae to Tear, and Ayrix sat down in the grass about ten feet from him, pulling off his heavy robe. He had placed his Physic staff back in his robe before he left the forest and hadn't had a chance to look at it until now. The blue orb was shattered in one place and was covered in blood. Ayrix groaned.

"It should still work alright...it might not have as big a range though; I'll have to use it more carefully. Makes a good club though..." Ayrix muttered to himself. He pulled out his water flask and took a sip, then poured a bit over his hair and forehead to cool himself down...

100marios June 12th, 2004 3:18 PM

Tear sat down, lifting his swords for comfort, and watched the setting sun converge with the icy peaks of the mountains below. He scanned through his memories, good and bad, and came back to the incident when Reane was struck with the arrow. He remembered how he let himself loose, let his rage fill himself up to the brink.

"I.... can't risk doing that again." He said, a small trace of fear to be found in his voice.
"No..... I...... can't let it happen again...... like it did so long ago."

He drew his sword to keep his mind off the subject. He saw how it shone against the sun, like to a mirror. He searched around for a nearby stone, and began sharpening his blade.

ScArLetSkye June 12th, 2004 3:22 PM

"Tear... May I talk to you?" Reane asked him softly as she approached him.
Noticing him sharpening his blade, she sat down, for once letting emotion show on her face-Anxiety and thought-, waiting.
As she sat, the Caelin wondered what she was going to say.
This... Won't be very easy...

The Vince Knight June 12th, 2004 3:25 PM

"That sage...... Ayrix were you and that sage friends or rivals or some kind? How did he know you're name?"
Drago Looked at where we last saw that sage.
"Ayrix,Your wounds are still hurting! I'll give you an elixir!"
He gives ayrix an elixir.
"There You can do whatever you want know."

100marios June 12th, 2004 3:31 PM

"Huh?" Tear said, both suprised and relieved to see Reane standing next to his side.
"Oh, sure!" He put his sword to the side, and put his arms around his legs, to make space for her.
He tried his best to put on a comforting face, for he could see the pain that was in her friend's face.

ScArLetSkye June 12th, 2004 3:33 PM

"Thank you... I... Ah.... Was wondering... If..." Reane closed her eyes as she despretely tried to think of how to explain it.

oni flygon June 12th, 2004 3:34 PM

Oni continued to wander in the dense forest. He lost Ayrix's trail and was now officialy lost.

"They should be here somewhere..." He thought as he continued to run deeper and deeper in the woods.

100marios June 12th, 2004 3:44 PM

Tear became concerned as he watched her; he could tell she was in deep thought. Also troubled by his own grief, he looked around for a way to not only brighten her up, but himself. His hand brushed against the stone he was using to sharpen his sword, as he looked up at the trees. Ab idea came into his mind, as he tightly grasped it. Pulling his arm out behind him, he tossed the rock into the branches of the trees overhead, causing a cluster of leaves fall and rain down on them. A few landed on each of their heads, and he chuckled, as he brushed them off.

ScArLetSkye June 12th, 2004 3:52 PM

Reane managed a weak giggle, brushed the leaves off, and watching them fall to the ground, but otherwise stayed emotionless.
Finally, finding the right words, she said:
"Well.... Tear, after our 'journey', or perhaps during it, do you... Do you think we could... Look for my brother? We.... Don't have to, but I was just wondering... See, when the news arrived that my brother and mother were.... K-killed they-they never brought my br-brother's body back, just said he was dead, so I was thinking..."
Unable to control herself any longer, Reane burst out into silent tears, that dripped down her face.
Ashamed, or embaressed rather, she turned away, not wanting him to see any more tears.

Chairman Kaga June 12th, 2004 4:19 PM

Ayrix nodded to Drago. "I thank you, friend." He pulled the cork off of the glass bottle, soaked a rag in the substance, and stuck the rag up his shirt, dabbing the elixir on the burns on his chest. He grinned through the pain.

"Luckily it's not as bad as it could be...since it was my own attack it didn't do as much damage to me as it would have to an opponent." Drago, if you come over here with me, I'll explain what I know later tonight...I need some time to reflect, but you and the others will know. Now come, let's join Tear and Reane. They look like they could stand some company...

Ayrix got up and walked, using his broken staff for support, and walked over to Reane and Tear...

ScArLetSkye June 12th, 2004 4:46 PM

Then, drying some of her tears, Reane spoke again to Tear.
"I- I just thought he might still be alive... So...."
She sniffed, and closed her eyes.
No more tears. Tears won't do me any good.
"I- I'm sorry Tear.... I know I'm not making much sense right now..."
Turning around once more, she opened up her eyes, and slowly took off her purple colored hood, letting her whole face finally be revealed.

Chairman Kaga June 12th, 2004 4:53 PM

She's finally taken her hood off...maybe that means she's feeling better. I do hope so... thought Ayrix as he watched from a distance. The sun had almost completely set, and only Reane's silhouette was visible. Near her was Lord Tear, who was also merely a black silhouette on the grass except for his sword, which reflected the thin band of orange in the sky. Ayrix walked a few paces more toward them and sat down, giving Lord Tear a greeting nod as he sat...

100marios June 12th, 2004 5:08 PM

"Reane....." he said, in a soft tone. He watched as tears fell from her face, darkening the ground on which it landed. He understood her plight...... he knew how it felt to lose a loved one..... he knew it all too well.
At a loss of words, he slowly but softly took her cold hand, hoping that the warmth of his could find its way in her. He looked at her solemnly, and began to speak.
"....I....I know how you feel. I lost my parents a very long time ago to a..... a monster. The pain I went through, though I was very young at the time, was too unbearable for words to explain."
He turned and looked into her sad, lonely eyes, it's reflection revealing that he was now on the verge of tears himself.

"We will find your brother. Someway, somehow, I know that together we can. I'm not sure if he will be alive when we do, but I will use all my strength to make sure that both you and your brother won't have to face the same horror again. I will stay at your side, until we achieve this. I promise you that."

ScArLetSkye June 12th, 2004 5:18 PM

Reane stared at him for a second, gratefully.
Managing to smile through tears, she felt a spark of some kind of warmth...
Of hope, happiness... And another thing unexplained, unknown to her.
He... He understood... I....
"Thank you, Tear. I.... I.... Thank you."
Saying this, she closed her eyes, then opened them again, some light finally finding it's way into her eyes.... And her heart.
"You've- you've helped me see clearly again. Thank you, Tear..."

oni flygon June 12th, 2004 5:23 PM

Oni was now tired.

"Where the heck am I?" He panted. He's been searching for hours but found no sign of his friends. "Oh well, I'll rest first." He sat on the damp ground.

100marios June 12th, 2004 5:30 PM

Tear felt a great burden lift from him, as he glanced into her eyes. He softly brushed his hand on the side of her face, as he smiled warmly.

"I'm happy..... to have been of help."

Just then, he glanced up and found that the moon was shiningly brightly overhead. He got up, and reached for his sword, putting it back in it's sheath.
He then looked back down at Reane, extending a hand for support.
"Let's go. It's getting really late."

ScArLetSkye June 12th, 2004 5:38 PM

She took it, standing up.
Letting go, and then untied her ribbon for the night, letting her hair hang down, loose, she looked up at the sky, which now had billions of stars littered across it.
"Wait, this reminds me of something..."
Gazing at the starry sky, she continued:
"I.... This might sound silly, but when I was a little girl, I used to go outside at night, with my mother... We'd.... Watch the stars... And dance, sometimes, under the whole glittering sky... It was... Wonderful..."
The girl trailed off, now looking down, but not before glancing up at the ink-black sky again.

Chairman Kaga June 12th, 2004 5:40 PM

Ayrix was beginning to set up a small encampment for himself. He was rolled up in his cloak and was waiting for the sky to go from grey to black so he could sleep, but from the corner of his eye he thought he saw Tear getting up.

We're not going to travel by night, are we? I suppose any place would be better than here though...that sage...he'll be back for me again, I know it. I'll tell them what I know tomorrow, but for now I think they're too occupied with other things to care... Ayrix watched Tear for a second once more, and then began to care less that they could possibly travel the night without sleep...he was exhausted, but he couldn't always expect to have halfway-comfortable nights. He yawned and rolled over on his side, laying in the dead grass, hoping that morning would come soon...

oni flygon June 12th, 2004 5:42 PM

Oni was resting his head on his hands as he looked up at the sky...he remembered his family...he was orphaned and was just raised by the cheiftain...he didn't remember his parents...he wished he had... He sighed as he twirled his sword a bit playing with it while looking at the moon. The moon's rays reflected on his sword.

"I don't remember anymore why am I on this journey...anyway..." he thought.

100marios June 12th, 2004 5:53 PM

Tear looked in amazement at her, as she spoke. He couldn't believe what he was hearing.

Gosh, she really is like me.... he thought to himself.

"I used to do the same thing when I was a boy, back in Pherae. There was a really nice hill that I would lay on. Using the grass as my blanket, I would gaze at the stars."
He looked up at the night sky, his eyes gleaming with it's brilliance. He lifted his arm up, and, with his index finger, began making shapes in the sky.
"I would always do this, whenever I had the chance. I found that it was a really good way of relieving myself from any suffering I endured. I don't know what could've happened to me if I never learned this...."
He glanced down from the heavens, back at Reane.
"Maybe sometime, when all this is over, we could watch them together."

ScArLetSkye June 12th, 2004 6:03 PM

Reane tore her gaze from the skies, and nodded at Tear. "That would be.... Nice." She turned her attention back to the stars.
"It would... That year.... When I was eight and a half.... When my mother died... We never were allowed to go out and look at the stars again. My mother... Well, my father; he proposed to her.... Sitting on a bench in the gardens of Caelin... Under the stars. Her death... It had a great impact on him."

100marios June 12th, 2004 6:28 PM

"Your father sounds like a strong man." He replied, also glancing back up. "To have the strength to go through something like that, and still be able to live on. I never really knew my father, or my mother, for that matter. I was raised by one of their most trusted friends. He was known throughout Pherae for his great swordsmanship. He passed on much of his skill to me...... he loved me like a son."
Noticing now that the rest of the company was getting to sleep, he turned around.
"Well, we have another long day ahead of us tommorow. We really should be off to bed. It's been really nice, being able to talk to you like this."
He began to walk off toward the campsite, but not without one final look at the stars. He was able to make out a bench, with two people sitting closely, next to one another. He smiled, and wandered back off to camp.

The Vince Knight June 12th, 2004 6:38 PM

"You wanted to see me Ayrix?" Drago said setting up his tent.
"I'm free for now."
Drago Set up dinner and Ate some..

ScArLetSkye June 12th, 2004 6:43 PM

Reane smiled, the light of the stars making her eyes sparkle.
He.... Understood... But not only that...
"The same with you." Staying for another split second, she threw one last glance at the stars, then followed Tear to the camp.

The Vince Knight June 12th, 2004 6:54 PM

Drago watched the stars with Reane.
"Reane..... My Father,Mother and brother died a year ago... They were strong like me now but one day... An evil organization came and desrooyed our home... But I survived I didn't know what to do Until I met you,Lord tear and Ayrix."
Drago Had tears coming out of his Eyes.... The tears of joy.

100marios June 12th, 2004 7:02 PM

Tear smiled at her and walked to the center of camp, to find a pile of scraps from a hurried meal.
"Oh," Tear said, groaning, and rubbing his stomach. "I guess we forgot all about dinner!"
He laughed, as he surveyed his friends sleeping out in the grass.

ScArLetSkye June 12th, 2004 7:10 PM

Reane laughed with him. "I guess so." The girl suddenly remebered the biscuits she had recieved earlier.
OOC: Correct me if I'm wrong, I don't remember if it was crackers or biscuits, etc... XD
BIC: "Oh, wait, here." She knelt down, her azure hair falling in waves over her, and pulled out the biscuits, then stood up, and over two to Tear.

100marios June 12th, 2004 7:16 PM

OOC: I think they were biscuits, hehe...

He nodded, and gratefully accepted the food that was being offered to him. He chewed them happily, and began taking off some of his gear.
