Dark Age Legends

[CyberWolf]

Nevina observed her surroundings... The River of Styx...

Around her she saw demented souls, drowning in their own defications in the river. The smell was over-whelming, she had to shield her nose as she plunged into the waste-filled river. She quickly sank to the bottom, being weighted by her weaponry, and was sucked into a Whirlpool at the River's bed.

"Ugh... I'm not following her into that!" Armic said to himself. The next 4 layers she's on her own... I trust she'll make it to Limbo..." He said with a smirk, as he warped himself to the 1st level of hell, Limbo.

[Haraldur]

//Just to make this clear: Ellenna has no idea who Haraldur is, no idea she is The Light, no idea that Haraldur is The Bitter One, and has absolutely no idea what is going on!//

Ellenna said: "What? Why are you calling me Miss Light? Why do you people keep mentioning someone called Haraldur and call me his bride? What the hell is going on?"

____________________________________________________________

The blue bubble at the bottom of the shaft was becoming unstable, streams of blue fire, akin in appearance to solar flares, but blue, flew off, smashing against the tunnel walls, which were also cracking of their own accord. Something was affecting it: The Bitter One was getting closer to acheiving it, as part of himself.

____________________________________________________________

Out of one of the many volcanoes on Víkingagarđ, Haraldur came roaring up in flame.

He was dazed, confused, angry, violent and dangerous, and intended to spread it around.

Below him was a village, but more like a farmstead with a village attached to it. It was evidently market day, as the streets completely filled to more than capacity with people and animals.

A fireball would not work this time, he needed it to be up close.

He landed quietly, close by to the village, and entered it, his long blond hair and beard sticking out as if a huge static charge was in him. The people around him stared, neither in fear or happiness, but out of surprise. The expression turned into fear soon after, and the atmosphere into one of panic.

Haraldur had punched one of the buildings, which had promptly exploded, frying the family inside, as a fireball came from the fist in mid punch.

Haraldur went around the village leaving destruction in his wake.

[Trent]

//Sorry about being gone so long. Devoted an entire day to doing a project.

Xenai and Tsu continued to play with the soldiers.

Zion pulled his sword up, swinging downwards as he came up on Maxwell.

[Dude Man]

Maxwell blocked the sword with his gun. The weapon being made out of the same material as a sword, was undamaged. "You're going to regreat ever comeing here!" Maxwell thrusted his sword at Zion.

------

"Hmmm....You don't have a clue what's going on, do you?" Rink sighed "Let me explain...You see, there are these 6 weapons, that contain a unspeakable amount of power. And this person Haraldur, "The Bitter One", who is an okay person, but he is crazy and he's going to hurt alot of people. And, I don't understand it more then you do, but, You, are the only person who can tame him. It may all sound pretty crazy. But hey isn't a Imp talking to you about destiney crazy enough? You are known as The Light, and you are needed to stop The Bitter One!"

Rink then turned his head "Something's going on here..." He creaked open the door "Oh no! It's began allready!" Rink cried "You must do something!" He looked up in the air and cried "Duilin!!"

[Zeros']

Zeros' clenched his jaw tightly as Ryu started to sweat nervously. Zeros' then relaxed his posture and folded out all eight wings and glided upwards into the air, his hand still resting on his katana. Zeros' calmly cast a levitating spell on Ryu as he floated upwards and level'd out with Zeros' height.

"Well Draven..." Zeros' said slowly, turing towards the man. "Looks like a temorary cease fire is in order. It seems this problem with Haraldur take on more importance then our petty squable..." He sighed as he closed his eyes. "What do you say: truce, temporarly?" Zeros' said, piercing Draven with his emerald eyed stare.

[Haraldur]

Ellenna looked at Rink incredulously, and said, "Have you been stealing mushrooms from my pouch? Some of them have odd effects you know..."

______________________________________________________________

A large flare came from the blue orb, going up the shaft at huge speed, cracking the rocks about it, causing the tunnel to fall in.

The tunnel looked about to collapse.

______________________________________________________________

Haraldur had killed an entire village, and the souls of the dead looked up at him. He beckoned to them, and they joined with him, silently: no screaming this time.

There was another village in the distance...

[Xorlak]

Draven landed in front of Zeros', folding his arms as the orb flared and boulders began to fall around them.

"Hmph... Very well, winged one..."

A large stone fell near, quaking the ground.  Draven brought his arms to his sides as he exploded in crimson flame once more.

"Perhaps it would be best if we resumed this discussion outside..."

Draven shot up the vertical tunnel like a rocket, his flames tailing behind.  Seeing the top off the shaft had been closed off, he clenched his right fist as it seemed with crimson energy as he flew.

"HA!"

Thrusting his hand upwards, the blockage blasted away in a fiery explosion, blowing a huge hole in the floor of Duilin's cabin above.  Wrapped in flame, Draven shot out of the hole and continued through the roof of Duilin's house, stopping some 100 feet in the air to turn and look at the gaping hole in the house from above.

The foul aura was still at the bottom of the tunnel... Was it... concentrating...?

[Zeros']

Zeros' grabbed Ryu's hand and shot through the collapsing tunnel at supersonic speeds, barely making the hole and stopping in Duilins house. He sighed in relief as he let Ryu down on the floor.

"That was interesting..." Zeros' murmered to himself.

[Trent]

"We'll just see about that!" Zion spun out of the sword's path, and brought his leg to the back of Maxwell's head. If Maxwell is at the edge of the tower, he might fall off if he gets hit.

[Dude Man]

Duilin flies up following Zeros' and Draven. He looks at the hole in the roof.

"Geez, this will take days to fix!" Duilin groaned.

"Duilin! Haralur will kill us all!" Rink cires as he jumps at Duilin, he clutches to his torso. "Ellena don't belive me. I explained everything! Somebody back me up!"

Duilin grunted, as he swiped at Rink, knocking him off. "We haven't the time for this!" Duilin then opened a chest, and then carefully took out his old Claymore "Time to wake up." He then turns to Zeros' "Do, you think we can trust Draven? What if he pulls something?"

----

Zions foot wacks Maxwell in the back of the head. "Ack!" He tumbles and trips of the edge of the wall, he drops his bolt riffle, and grabs the edge of the walls. "Gnnnn!" He lifts himself up with one arm back onto the wall. "I weigh almost 350 lbs, and only 4% of my mass if fat! Let me show you some strengh!" He swings a punch at Zion's chest.

[Zeros']

Zeros' shakes his head.

"I do not trust him, but I do not believe he will go agianst his word. He is a powerful man. He has done great things - teriable things - but great notheless. Right know, Haraldur is more dangerous then both Armic and Draven if he is currently going insane. I have a feeling that Miss Ellenna is the key to solving this puzzle as the Prophet stated he had eight pieces. That would include himself and Ragnar along with the six weapons." He said resignigly.

"Then the man mentioned Ellenna as the only one who can calm his fury and rage..." Zeros' then turned on Draven. "As I'm sure you noticed, you must of come to a similiar conclusion from my words," Zeros' then gave the meriest of shutters. "I also believe there was an aura similiar to Retan's in the tunnel, correct Draven?" He inqured of the man.

[Dude Man]

Rink then looked at Ellena "See I told you!" Rink then crossed his arms "It may sound crazy, but stranger things have happened. People flying around, and giant armys of demons...it's crazy I tells ya!"

"Good for you Rink." Duilin said to Rink. He then rubed his chin "Hmmm, what is the aura in tunnel then? Could it be the great doom power thing or whatever, Draven was telling me about at the pub?"

[Haraldur]

Ellenna shook her head, and smiled the smile people smile when they are near someone who is having delusions. Then she disappeared.

The Great Prophet appeared, in solid form, and said, "I have taken The Light into safety, and in the meantime I will come with you. I have lived long enough that death holds no fear for me."

He looks at Draven and then pokes him in the chest with his walking stick. "Ah, I see you are also with us, young man. You should calm down... live a little, hehe..."

[Trent]

"Oof!" Zion took the punch, landing on the tower and staggering back a bit. "You are indeed strong." Zion sheathed his sword and held up his fists, ready for a knock-down drag-out fight.

The whirlpool dropped Nevina in a plane of eternal blackness. She could see nothing, and actually felt as if her vision improved with her eyes shut.

She tried to walk but found herself running into walls and tripping over pebbles. She had reached the 4th level of hell, a labrinyth in a land of eternal darkness. She could see nothing, so she sparked up a bit of light in her hand. The Darkness immediately engulfed it. She tried once again, this time making a huge ball of light around herself. It glowed with the intensity of 50 suns, but it still just did penetrate the dark.

As she opened her eyes, around her she saw hundreds of souls, their eyes wide open like owls, their pupils engulfing almost all of their optical orbs. The souls stared at the light, unseeing, as the eprivation of light had blinded them all. Nevina tried to navigate the labrinyth, but always ran into a dead end. She stood in place for a while, and then noticed the labrinyth was MOVING. Changing its shape, keeping her lost. She levitated, and flew over the labrinyth, saw a red light in the distance, only light within the labrinyth besides her own. It was in the farthest corner of the Labrinyth, and had no ground entrance at all. It was only accessable via aerial landing. She turned out her globe of light and stepped into the light.
