Dark Age Legends

[Zeros']

Zeros' caught the ki ball in his free hand and lobbed it into the air and with a flourish, sheathed his weapon and nodded his head towards the dragon, who was currently flying away. He flew towards Ellenna's position and picked her up in his arms and flew towards the dragon, being mindful to keep a sheild around Ellenna.

----

Ryu folded his arms and tapped his foot.

"Hmm..." he murrmered to himself. He then jumped off the side of the boat, running on the water. He bent down and ran fast and fast.

[Xorlak]

The ball of magma continued downward, plunging into the sea.  A brief moment of silence preceded a massive water-muffled explosion.  The ocean turned red as a geyser shot hundreds of feet into the sky.  When it was over, the sea was visibly draining into a rupture in the ocean floor, forming a vortex above...

Draven clenched his right fist as Haraldur simply flew away.

"Typical!"

He turned to Duilin with fire in his eyes...

"YOU don't tell me what to do, you miserable little ingrate!!"

Quite irate, he flew a bit higher, addressing the whole group surrounding him with two clenched fists.

"Idiots!  You had at least two openings...  I'm not following you wreatches around because I like being watched!!"

He chopped the air with his right hand.

"GYAAHH!!!"

He fell to a lower altitude and took off in a north-western direction, parting the sea below from the force of his flight...

If you want something done right...

----

The dragon noted Haraldur was following once again, but said nothing.  He continued on for a while, surveying the endless ocean around them.

"Hmm... yes, it appears the world has changed.  I recall a group of islands that we should have passed a while ago..."

[Trent]

"Calm the hell down." Some advice given from Xenai to Draven.

Zion sheathed Eternity Weapon, and the trio continued on their way.

=== === ===
EW/ZW Ready!

[Dude Man]

Duilin, glared at Draven. "Fine!" He said, and then turned away, and continued flying off, with the others "We should kick his ass after were done." He said quietly to Zeros'. "Why did we even let him join in the first place. He's tried to kill all of us at least twice. I lost track after third or fouth time, for me."

---

"Hey!" Rink yelled, as he jumped off the boat, and flue after Ryu "Were do you think you're going!" Rink called. He then turned around "Old guy! I mean, Prophet, you coming?"

[Zeros']

Ryu shrugged and continued running on the water, unconciouslly using his ki and chakra to regulate himself.

"I'm following their energy signatures. If you concentrate enough, you can sense them. Haraldur, Zeros', Draven and Duilin have the largest ones, as well as the dragon. Zion and his group are alot smaller then the others, more then likely due that the others aren't exactly human." he said and shrugged.

----

"Don't worry about it," said Zeros', murmurring lowly. "We'll deal with it when the time comes," said Zeros' reassuringly.

[Haraldur]

Haraldur said, "That is only a very recent change, it only happened on this day. It will happen to the only remaining continent on this world, too, unless I am fulfilled."

____________________________________________________________

The Great Prophet caused a wind to blow the ship quite fast following the Dragon.

[Zeros']

"A very recent change..." Zeros' murmurred to himself, "your talking about Retan's MDAA, right?"

----

"Rink," he said towards the small imp, "we need a plan. Were not strong enough to take them on directly...they'd obliterate us before we could blink." He sighed and turned his head towards the imp, "Have any plans?"

[Haraldur]

Haraldur said to Zeros', "I was referring to the recent sinking of all the land except for the land mass which was previously dominated by the Dark Empire."

[Xorlak]

Draven had steered far away from the group and was now over the ravaged lands of the former Dark Empire.  His diabolical mind raced with schemes as a slight smirk crossed his face.

----

The dragon growled,

"I hope you are not disturbing the delicate forces of the planet itself..."

He arched his head back forward to the northern horizon.

"Yes... now I remember the spot.  No land markers will be necessary..."

The air was getting noticeably colder, and vast chunks of ice began to appear in the sea below.

[Dude Man]

"What? Attack them? Why? Who? Huh? Why?" Rink asked with an odd look on his face

----

Duilin, shivered slightly. Yet the coolness was slightly soothing to him. Draven's volcano did give off alot of heat. He looked at the water below, and stared at his reflection moveing along with him. "How much further?" He asked

[Zeros']

"Not much," said Zeros' as he squinted towards the horizion.

----

"Attack Haraldur, of course," said Ryu bluntly, "who else?"

[Haraldur]

Haraldur looked at the Dragon in surprise and said, "Why would I wish to disturb myself?"

_______________________________________________________________

The Great Prophet said, "I said it is imperitive not to hinder him."

[Xorlak]

The red dragon slowed in his flight, replying to Haraldur skeptically.

"Hmmm... you are perhaps the most curious of beings I have met in my entire life..."

A flap of the wings.

"We have arrived..."

The ocean was completely frozen here, covered by countless centuries of unmelting snow.  The solid ground formed of the ocean of ice was completely flat, save some rolling hills that were only noticeable to those flying at a low altitude.  There was nothing here at all.  They were essentially at the planet's northern pole.

But a few seconds more of flight would review a dramatic sight through the mist ahead.   The ice suddenly dropped off sharply, going down well over several thousand feet.  The dragon lead the group over this ridge and continued on.  Even past the ridge the ground sloped downwards more, becoming deeper and deeper.  It was several moments later before the opposite ridge was visible.

It was a giant crater.

"This is where it happened, over three millennia ago...  Now I will take my leave, as I have repaid my debt.  I wish you good fortune on... whatever endeavor you seek to partake..."

The great dragon swooped around the group and began to return in the direction from whence he came.

[Dude Man]

Ryu rubbed his head "I stand by my confused slurs..." He then thought for a second "We should just wait, for the others to attack or, whatever Old guy has in mind, I mean Prophet..."

----

"There dosen't appear to be anything in sight." Duilin sighed "Were do you think this, Alpha Retan is, Haraldur?"

Zeros' we should be ready with the Light, we just might not have to attack Haraldur, since we have her.

[Zeros']

Zeros' nodded his head. I agree Zeros' clutched Ellenna tighter as he peered down into the crater curiously.

"Ahh yes...I can still sense the risidual traces of Dark magic, as well as demonic and angelic auras...curious...curious..." he murmured to himself.

----

Ryu hopped off the water, rising into the air as he landed on the ice and started jumping from glaicer to glaicer with inhuman percision.
