Dark Age Legends

[Dude Man]

"Very well" Nex replies. He hops onto the Wyverien and then takes of and starts to fly high in the sky but slowly so Draven could keep up.

------------

Duilin grows impationt and then walks over to were Iduran is.

"Iduran, you wanted to speak to me? Cheetah overselpt..." He says

[Cesque]

"What the...?" - asked Scorch as he heard footsteps. Hundreds of footsteps. Somewhere in the distance, echoes of speech could have been heard.

"Sir Draven's orders. More guards."
"Do we really need...?"
"Obviously, not. But these are sir Draven's orders."

"Oh, great." - Scorch thought.

-----

Shivers ran down Nagash' spine.

"Did you notice that?" - he asked one of the surviving archers, as they sat in the remains of the burned forest..
"Of course. It was hard not to notice that. Surely, there's some forcer stronger than Draven. Which will propably, one time or another, get mad at him and this might-"
"Ssshhh. Silence."

Footsteps. Sounds of swords cutting through the woods.

"They are... looking for something. Propably for this sword... Run."

Archers stood up and began running. Nagash still crouched, hardly visible, among ash and leaves. Soldiers heard the sound and hasted up - following the archers. Lots of soldiers in dark armors ran past Nagash. As Nagash stood up, suddenly he noticed one more soldier running after the searching army, who stopped seeing him.

Without much thinking, Nagash pointed his staff at the lone soldier, and with a silent crack, a whip-like vine entangled him and brang before face of Nagash.

"What are you looking for?"
"The... blade..." Vine was choking the soldier's neck.
"Where's Scorch?"
"In... the... city... guarded... by most... of the army..."
"Shoot. I'll have to abandon thought about his rescue for a while. Turn back and don't return here, all right?"
"Yee...ss..." The soldier was running short of air.

Suddenly, the grip of vine was released. Nagash looked angered at the lone knight, who instantly turned back and began running back toward battlefield.

-----

"Huh..." - Cheetah said as someone tried to wake him. - "Leave me alone here... I want to get some sleep!"

[Haraldur]

Haraldur's unit of berserkers cast haste spells on themselves and gathered all the belongings from the nearest corpses. They brought so much that the ships were full.

"Stop," said Haraldur. "The ships are full. I will remain ere while you bring back the ships to our country, with the loot obviously. When I need you, you will know."

The ships left.

Haraldur hovered there in thought for a moment. He came to the conclusion that it would be beneficial to spread chaos.

He went to the village furthest away from the armies. He cast fireballs on the houses. The people panicked. Balls of fire were dropping onto their village with no visible source. Pleased with that, Haraldur did this to every untouched village in the land.

After this he went 500 metres up in the air to see what would happen next.

[Xorlak]

Arms still folded, Draven smirked at the man in the center of the blue aura.

"Dear, now.  A bit harsh, aren't we?  Yes, I'm Draven.  Who might you be and what business do you have here?  Make it quick, for I'm rather busy right now..."

Draven sighed inwardly.  Though somewhat amusing when he had nothing better to do, the amount of people trying to kill him in the past few days was starting to become annoying...

----

Iduran handed his sheathed blade to Duilin.

"Listen... I have no idea how to release this blade's power... or even if it exists...  I thought the wizard we met awhile back might have known something, but apparently not...  There's only one more I can think of to consult..."

He sighed, as if trying to decide whether what he was saying was a good idea or not.  After a long pause,

"As you may have noticed, there's a mountain in the center of this island.  Climb any tree and you will see it.  Deep inside sleeps... a fire dragon...  he's an intelligent creature, I know, and he's lived for hundreds, perhaps thousands of years.  If there's anyone who would know about the enchantment of a blade, it would be him...

"But you must know... he's not exactly friendly...  When I was I child, he awoke and destroyed much of the southern half of this island...  Still, he must be asked about this blade... Can you do it?  I would go if I had the strength, but it is a two days' journey from here..."

At that moment, another soldier burst into the cave room.

"The Dark soldiers are everywhere!  They've redoubled their efforts!  Also, I can see smoke rising from nearby villages..."

[Mark of the Dragon]

Shin Yong forged his ice sword from his aura, and sent a chill wave that brought everything within a 200 mile radius down by 40 degrees. Several Dark Soldiers died instantly. Shin looked at Draven and pointed his sword.

"Draven, head general of the Dark Empire, your time is up, for I, Shin Yong Tsing, head General of the Holy Kingdom of Aritan, have come for your life. Draw your sword."

The heat was on...(lol, heat, heh)

----------------------------------------

Gyulim felt a small drop in temperature that was unnatural.

"Oh god...he's in battle. Why does he always do that?"

Deciding that it would be better if she didn't think about it, Gyulim approached the docks, and inquired about the status about the vessel to Romme.

"I'm sorry, Miss Lee...but the vessel you seek is still not ready. I highly suggest you get indoors, though; this drop in temperature might lead to a heavy storm soon, and you don't want to catch cold."

"Very well. I shall head back to the inn."

[Dude Man]

"I'll take care of this!" Duilin says heroicly. He runs out side with his mace in one hand and his buster sword in the other. "Man, this stuff is heavy" He says as he drops his Buster Sword, he picks it back up and then puts his mace away and then runs over to the enemies.

Nex flies over the dark soilders, on his Wyverin. He laughs as he swoops down and then the wyverin picks up a romme soilder and tosses him high in air and then swoops over to him, Nex swings out his blades and cuts the soilder as he is in the air. "Now were the bloody heck is Draven? He's missing out on all the fun!" He says to himself "I'll go back for him in awile, but first I'm gonna go kill me some rommeis!"

Nex jumps off the Wyverin. The Wyverin flys around wile Nex fights some soilders. Duilin then charges at him and swings his buster sword at him. Nex blocks it with his blades, one in front on in the back, have Duilin in a lock, he then kicks Duilin in the gut 3 times, on the third kick he relased him cause Duilin to fly back a few meters. Duilin recovers from the fall and then takes out his chain mace and runs at Nex swinging it at his torso, Nex falls to the ground but then jumps up on his feet kicking Duilin in the prosess. Duilin then stumbles to the ground, he gets up shakes his head, and sees the Nex is gone.

[Haraldur]

Encouraged by the effects of burning the villages, Haraldur decided to cause more chaos. He scanned the ground for where the most soldiers were in a small area. For some reason about 1000 were sitting around a burnt out house... Ignoring the strangeness of this, he caused a large black burning cloud to appear above them, it rained down burning oil.

He smiled. He made sure he was still invisible and floating. He was. He smiled again.

[Zeros']

Zeros', Qeni and Zev were sitting on a hill beside where the burning village was.

"Whats that Zeros'?" asked Zev, he pointed toward the sight of the burning the village.

"No idea." shrugged Zeros'.

Qeni was fast asleep inbetween Zeros' and Zev.

"Good thing Qeni doesnt now about this..." he thought to himself.

He looked once agian at the site, the burning village.

He thought to himself agian, "Who could of done this..."

[Cyber Wolf]

The tide came in. Waves of cold water licked at Seths body.

Seth awoke quickly and surveyed his surroundings.

He saw a burning forest not far from him, he saw the cold ocean, the full moon, and his wrecked boat far out into the sea.

He pulled his tunic and leather straps out of his pants and put them back on his body.

He shook like a dog, trying to get some of the water off of him.

He combed his hair back into place with his hand, and walked along the coast.

He walked for miles, until he came up to a burning village. It was a grotesque sight. Burnt human being lay across the streets and most houses were collapsed and ashes were piled everywhere. Seth grimaced.

He saw no sign of life in the village,  and continued walking. He saw a trail of blood and foot prints. Seeing as it was the only lead he had, he followed the trail. He was brought to a cavern after walking for a few hours. He heard voices inside.

He walked into the wet, dank cavern and saw a wounded, fairly old soldier in gray armor..

[Zeros']

(My avatar is my character...heh...)

Zeros' saw Seth walk into the cavern. He picked up Qeni and Zev and glided over towards the cavern.

The saw Seth and walked up to him.

"What are you doing here..."

[Cesque]

"Oh, great." - said Scorch as he noticed something is not as right as it was. Soldiers around him seemed to get somehow scared by the situation, seeing burning oil raining from above.

"Propably Draven changed order and wants now to burry me in a feiry grave?"

-----

"So the hell broke free." - Nagash thought. - "An international invasion on Romme? What the...?"

-----

"Huh..." - Cheetah woke up again, hearing the sounds. - "Leave me alone!"

[Haraldur]

Haraldur started a scan of the island to work out what natural resources it had.

Marble, iron, gold, wood and fertile land. Perfect. Many sheep grazing, good for fleece and meat. Good sustainable fish stocks. Good strategic position. Perfect for occupation.

Maybe he should not have been so harsh on the viallagers... Meh, too late now anyway. Some will have survived, thankfully.

It would be imperitive to weaken the opposing armies, and spread chaos, so the village burning did have a silver lining all of its own.

Those Dark Empire soldiers look to be panicking, he thought. That was successful.

Hmmmm... seems that uch of the forest has been decimated. Draven has been playing with fire again. What is the point in invading a country if you are going to destroy its natural resources at the same time? You would definitely not be popular, and so it would be more difficult to keep control of the area. Stupid, stupid.

Maybe it would be beneficial to stop this destruction to save people and forest? Indeed, that would be a good idea.

A large black cloud appeared over the whole island, and started to rain, water this time.

[Xorlak]

"Aritan?  Boy did you take a wrong turn...  Don't you imbeciles know when to quit?  And stop that, you're screwing up the ecosystem!"

Draven threw his arms to his sides, and a burst of flame erupted from his body, incinerating the nearby plant life and raising the nearby temperature considerably.

"Very well, I suppose I can spare five minutes."

But suddenly a cloud appeared out of nowhere and it began to rain...

"What is this?! Bah!"

Another burst of fire erupted from him like an explosion, shaking the ground.  He had doubled the intensity of his aura, so that the falling drops of water evaporated in mid-air before getting too close to him.  Wrapped in fire, his glance shifted to Scorch's prison in the distance, around which many soldiers were rolling around on the ground partially on fire.  Thinking to himself,

'Is this storm Scorch's doing?  I better kill this one quickly...'

----

The Romme soldier guarding Iduran stepped in front of the newcomer.

"Who might you be?"

[Haraldur]

Bored, Haraldur scans the area where he rained on burning oil for any important or interesting people. There was a prisoner there. A prisoner? A prisoner?! Draven taking a prisoner? That is very rare indeed. Must be a special reason for doing that.

Maybe we can stir things up a bit? A bit more. Indeed.

The iron shackles around Scorch begin to slowly crack, and fall off even kore slowly.

Haraldur teleports 500 metres backwards, and remain invisible.

[Mark of the Dragon]

Shin lunged at Draven, and plunged his sword where Draven's heart would be.
