Dark Age Legends

[Cyber Wolf]

The Fire Ball Duilin made killed the scourge and Seth confronted Duilin.

Seth spoke for the first time, saying, "What are you doing in this cavern? Hiding? If so, you're doing a piss-poor job. You left foot prints all the way to your cave."

"Now, where is this evil I sense?" Seth said, as his nostrils flared, and his hair a mess from being slung around by the Scourge.


//By the Way Dude Man, Nex has hit by a shuriken, not a sword if I read correctly and if a shuriken is what I'm thinking it is. a Shuriken is a 5 pointed throwing star ninjas use. They're pretty small, but it was stained with demon blood, so it might have more illing properties.\\

[Dude Man]

//Heh, illing properties, that's what you think...*smiles evily*//

Duilin blinks for a moment and then speaks "An evil you sence, well I say it's either, Draven, an evil fire mage, who leads the Dark Empire, or, I belive his name is Nex...yeah....I remember, this guy attacked, well he looked like Nex...Well it was either Nex or Draven, but maybe somebody else...." Duilin then thought for a momet "Who are you, and what are you trying to do, and who do you work for?"

------

The Wyverin landed on a moutain and placed Nex down. It taps Nex abit to wake him up. Nex then gets up and brushes the dirt off his robes. He then plucks the shuriken out of him and looks at it.  He then examins the blood, it's mixed with his blood, yet there both simular.

"Deamon blood....heh....fool..." Nex laughs as he tosses the star away, he pats his Wyverin on the head "I'm going to go get relaxed and heal up abit" Nex starts limping around, he finds a large rock and goes over and sits on it. He takes off one of his metall boots and turns it around and shakes it abit, some small rocks tumble out, then he puts it back on. He streches abit, yawns, and sits down. He looks around abit and examins what is around him, and looks to see if anyone is near.

//Hey, if any of you can guess what Nex's race is I'll change iton his profile, from Unknown, to whatever it is  Very Happy //

[Cyber Wolf]

Seth said, "I'm but a wondering ex-monk. I tend to destroy evils I come across in an attempt to become a Saint and become a God when I die.. Uhm.. is this all of your force? I think we're on the same side here. Want my aid?"


//I'm guessing Nex is a demon or half demon? By the Way, Where's Cessy? o.o\\

[Dude Man]

"I guess that would be good then. I'm Duilin Tanlonscar, I used to serve the Dark Empire, but it was agaisnt my own will, and I wasn't allowed to get out of this one commander's sight" Duilin pauses for a moment "But I killed him, good!" Duilin then puts his weapons away. "So you want me to tell you want's going on, or do you allready know?"

//Yes he is a deamon, good job!//

[Cyber Wolf]

"Seth Faowind, pleased to meet you I guess..." Seth said as he shaked Duilins hand.

"Please do explain what's going on in this hell hole. I've seen destroyed cilliages, countless slain innocents, burning greenery everywhere... Is it the work of 'Darveen' or who ever you said?"

~Over an 11 minute period Duilin explains to Seth what's going on~

"Ah, and they want your friends sword? I guess I could help you men out. We're going to ask a dragon about the sword to learn of it's abilities? Lead on. But first, who will look after your wounded comrad?"

><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Nevina had sensed the evil on 'her' island, as she calls it, for sometime now, but had thought it best to ignore it.

She looked out to the East and saw destruction, smelt smoke, and felt she must do something.

Nevina equipped herself with her weapons, put on her tunic and necklace and headed off to the East, following the evil in the rain.

[Mark of the Dragon]

"Let's stop the foolish games and be true fighters."

Before Draven could even react, Shin's sword was poised to strike, and Shin lunged forward. He slashed swiftly for Draven's neck, ready for in case he either blocked or countered...

[Dude Man]

"Well I have a few people to do that, Cheetah, and my little dog friend Gedi, and some crippled soilder, I hope that will be enough, let's just hope Nex or Draven dosne't bump into him, maybe we should try and resuce Scorch, or find somebody else, I'm not exacly strong..the most I can do is fire spells, but those are dangerous, and make me tired abit....I learned them form...sombody....Well anyways, let's get going now!"

-----

Nex deciedes to move over to a cliff edge. He looks around and sees a village, and then he looks aroud abit more and sees a burnig village and a series of caves.

"Yes...that's were they are..." Nex says to himself "But I still need to heal up abit...then I can fly down there on my Wyverin..."

[Dippy]

Nex quicly spins around and sees a large man of straw welding a flame thrower
"hello my name is Raven and I will be your Burnerer today"He said
"Bite me"
"was that not the plan?"
"You are one sick puppy... I'm gonna put you to sleep" Nex draws his blade and runs him through
poke poke "Eee. it's like poking through merang" poke poke
"Hmm I like my food well done anyway" He blasts his flame thower at Nex.

(Dudman is kool with me controleing his guy)

[Zeros']

//Another reason it had an effect on him was casue Zeros' is a Demi-Human (half human, half deamon) so...\\

Zeros' got up and examined the wound.

"Damnit...I was too careless..." he shrugged off the feeling and got up, his wing drooping.

He reached the cave and dropped down the barrier.

"Qeni and Zev are here somewhere..." he mumbled.

He walked into the back of the cave, one hand holding his right side, one hand grasping his sword.

A troll appeared infront of him. He smelled the air. Blood.

He grasped his sword harder and put up his dukes.

"Cmon..."

[Haraldur]

Haraldur appeared in front of Nevina. He said, "Good morning, what is your name? I am Haraldur Gunnar Hilmarsson, prince of the people of Víkingagarđ. You probably do not know a lot about us, but our traditional enemy has long been the Dark Empire. We are prepared to do anything to stop them, not stopping short of anything in our aims. If we need to kill innocent civilians in order to make things worse for the Dark Empire, we do so. If we need to destroy an island to kill Dark Empire soldiers, we do so. If we have to commit the foulest of crimes, genocide, to help destroy the Dark Empire, we force ourselves to do so. If we have to steal, pillage, destroy, kill and maim in order to stop the Dark Empire, we do so. This is no moral crusade, it is hatred that drives us. Complete loathing that drives us.

"You should see that rock trolls are chasing Dark Empire soldiers, causing havoc. I believe they have halved Draven's already reduced force.

"We intend to take over this island. We intend to use it as an outpost, due to its strategic position, to launch attacks on the Dark Empire.

"You, yourself, will have to come to a decision, who do you hate, or hate more, them or us? If you hate them, or hate them more than us, I suggest you help us. I will leave you now. If you wish to speak to me, just hover about 500 metres into the air, above wherever Draven is. Bye."

He dematerialised to be above Draven.

[Dude Man]

The flame hits Nex, but he aborbs it and makes a large fireball. He prepares to toss it at him, but then thinks.

"You know...maybe you could be of some use....Would you consider joining me? Because it looks like Draven, might die or something...and I sence that there is something else around here....Anyways...we need another strong warrior...you seem to be strong...how would you like to join the Dark Empire?"

[Zeros']

//Scarecrow...Were off to see the wizard! The wonderful Wizard of Oz! They say he is the wonderful Wizard of Oz...\\

The troll charged at Zeros', he tried to evade, but becasue of his wound he couldn't. He stood in the direct line of the troll and parried it, then with all his remaining strenght, he tossed the troll against the wall.

While the troll was stuned, Zeros' dunk his hand inside where the wound was, he gasped at the pain, he stumbled alittle, but then quickly regained his balance.

He held his outstreached bloody hand. He made a slashing motion in the air, and then blades made out of blood, flew towards the direction the troll was at, paralyzing it even more.

He sheathed his sword, he then started charging up a ball of fire, ice and thunder (the thunder ball was made by his wing, and the fire and ice by his hands). Then he combined them, this was a stranious task. When he finally managed, a phoenix appeared.

The phoenix was a brilliant red.

At that moment, the cave shook, and all evil vanished from the cave.

Zeros' held his side, he sensed where Qeni and Zev were, he pushed the rock aside with the last of his strenght.

He woke up Qeni and Zev and then collapsed.

Zev shook Zeros' "Cmon man...wake up!" he started. Qeni started to cry. "Zewos..."

[Xorlak]

(It seems Haraldur wants Draven's full attention...)

Draven lept backwards, slashing at his opponent's blade with his own.  After Haraldur's taunt and feeling a few raindrops, Draven doubled his aura once more.

"You blasted wretch!  Can you not see that I'M BUSY!"

Draven exploded in a fury, the fireball wrapped around him digging into the ground.  Draven flew backwards at highspeed, unsettling much earth, untill he was several hundred feet from Shin.  Without looking, he threw his left hand upwards, tossing a fireball straight up into the rain cloud above him, which exploded and dispersed the cloud as before, but this time a shimmering beacon of red light remained in place in the sky, warming the air and creating a high pressure zone that repelled clouds (heh...)

Draven then position his left hand in front of him, making a fist except for two fingers that pointed upward.  Three small dark shadows appeared on the outskrits of his burning aura, rotating around him slowly.

"Go... find the teleporting one and bring me his head... or at least make it known that he must wait his turn..."

The apparitions dissapeared into nothing.  Wrapped in flame, cape fluttering wildly, and hovering several inches above the ground, Draven began to slowly move toward Shin.

"How convienient, Aritan, that three independent people who wish to kill me all appear independenly within two days...  Games you say?  Well, well, if you don't like the method of combat, you shouldn't have come... You could have kept your life... but it's your choice...  DIE!"

Draven dashed forward, slashing his blade downwards and emitting a cresent moon shaped wave of flame, which headed straight for the warrior.

----

As Haraldur appeared above Draven, three dark apparitions materialized, rotating around him, each wrapped in black and carring a huge scythe.  They spoke in whispering voices...

"You anger our lord..."

"Anger... yesss..."

"Anger... indeed...


"You must die..."

"Die... yesss...

"Die... indeed..."

The first appeared right in front of Haraldur, slashing at his face in a huge arc...

[Dude Man]

//Heh, forgot about Duilin//

Duilin and Seth walked over to the cave enterance, they pass by Gedi.

"Okay boy, you wait here!" Duilin tells Gedi, Gedi then starts to look sad "Oh fine you can come with us, just be careful!" He then looks over to Iduran "Hey, this is Seth, he's going to help me with The Dragon, then we do what needs to be done...I supose Cheetah, can just guard you, we are also going to find that wind mage, Scorch, he could be usefull."

[Cyber Wolf]

Seth walked out of the Cavern with Duilin but said, "Do we really need a fire mage? I Can summon all the elements of this realm, though it takes a while, and isn't as powerful as a mages magic spell, but it usually gets the job done.. And you, you have that "Flaming Ball of Death" thing, we got all the fire magic we could want.. but if you still want to get this Scorch guy.. lead the way.."

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Nevina though to herself, "The hell? I can't hover, and who's Draven?... Wierdo..."

Nevina continued on her way towards the evil.. she was getting closer, she could taste it...
