Dark Age Legends

[Haraldur]

Tesla looked serious. "Tell me, do you know what we, the Aspyes, are, what we stand for? What we are trying to do?"

[Dude Man]

// Oh sorry Trent there was so many posts I had to speed read everything and I was so tired and I had to think of something quick and I was a bit to focused on Valos and Duilin's pointless conversation I thought it was pretty funny didn't you? (Major run-on sentence on purpose) \\


Darak walked next to Calavous. "Don't worry, young man." Darak says to him. "What I would mostly worry about is, exactly who you are?" He stepped in front of him, so he wouldn't walk away, not to intimidate him or anything, he made his voice sound a bit more peaceful so he would show the man that he meant no harm to him.

"I don't recall you exactly being a member of the Empire." He started. "Yet from what I saw, you seem to be quite a good fighter, like our newest recruit, Steorra. I can see that you are quite loyal to our Empire, what is your name warrior?" He asks.

----

Nex grumbled a bit and then tried to remove the spear lodged in his chest, but it seemed pretty stuck into him...

--

Rink narrowed his eyes, and then rubbed his forehead. "Abodahon..." He said softly. "Now where have I heard that name before?"

[Burton_projects]

Calavous looked towards Darak. " I am Calavous. And who might you be?"

---

Nick looked back at Tesla. " Well I assume that the way your people are free you want to be free of this nonsense of a war, And we can make this happen by making a government that brings together both our beleifs. Whould I be right or do you have to add something?" He asked back to Tesla.

[Haraldur]

"This is not war, this is revolution. We are free, and we want everyone else to be free. Therefore, we want to destroy all Empires, all states and all governments," said Tesla.

[Burton_projects]

Then im sorry...then I will leave in peace and come back another day for this fight will never end like this believe me. Nick said as he started down the lift and towards Bandervil.

[Xorlak]

A female white mage and a man in priest's garb entered the room and went to work on Vincent with everyone right there watching.  The only healers left in the entire complex... Some spells were cast on the wounded man.

"He will need his rest... I can't say for sure whether he will pull though at this time...  The wound is very deep."

----

"Blast..."

With energy charged in his sword and ready to go, he watched as Nex and Xenai danced around.

"Can't get a clear shot..."

Suddenly Nex paused to try to remove the spear lodged in his chest.

"There!  HAAAAHH!!!"

Ven angled his blade towards the ground and arked it upwards, a violent gust of wind ensuing from the sword.  A stationary tornado formed around Nex with a radius of five feet or so and narrowly shot up skyward.  This was about the only spell he could pull off without risking additional damage to the surrounding neighborhood...

[Trent]

//Don't sweat it, dude. We'll just assume ZW got flicked out for now.

Oh, this is perfect! Thank you, Ven! He pulled the sword back... And in an instant, he was standing on the other side of the twister, sword held out to the side like he just slashed! One could hear a noise likened to a thunder strike as he passed through. Did I get 'im? I didn't see what I did...

[Zeros']

Zeros' actually smiled at the crazy revolutionary leader.

"That idea sounds good, in theory... We could destroy Melkoth," he spit the name out like a bad taste, "and destroy the Greys. Then, we can kill Abodahon and his goons..." he said, summing up what Haraldur said. "But, before I even begin to think about accept this proposial, what do those lockets the Prophet have contain, exactly? And after they're gone and destroyed... What then? What about Retan and Jayce?" he questioned.

He wasn't as cocky and headstrung as people believed. If Haraldur had went to Duilin and tried to discuss this, Duilin probably would of tried to attack him on sight.

"As to anwser your question, Rink, Haraldur has a proposition for us," he said simply, then added something to Rink through telepathy. One that has a few holes in it... Haraldur isn't being specific enough.

---

Allen threw his disk back out and glided onto a rooftop closer to the battle. He stepped off the disk again and drew a small chalk circle on the ground. The alchemic circle glowed a faint blue and started to turn, until a cone like device was formed.

He put it to his ear and he was able to hear the tail-end of their conversation.

...What about Retan and Jayce?

[D. Ein]

Steorra got up, and flew the rest of the way to Bandervil. She retraced the aural traces left by the group, and descended to Vincent.
-"Is he going to be OK?", she questioned the white healer mage.

[Dude Man]

Nex was tossed up in the tornado. "Waa! Arg!" He cried. Suddenly Xenai's sword then slashed right across him, splitting him in half, he laughed as he dematerialized in a similar way that Pophin did, leaving only a white laser heading straight towards Valos...

----

Darak looked at Calavous. "I am Captain Smith Darak." He said, however not as proudly as one of his rank might sound. He then spoke slightly bit softer. "Just between you and me, I would be a General, but I was mostly put out of the game for around seven or six years. I was at Helterina I believe. It's a terribly long story I just don't feel like talking about. Plus I don't think I'd be authorized to tell you, even though most of superiors involved in the operation are dead now."

----

Valos sensed that his clones have had their energy transferred back towards him. He then gained a strong boost of energy; his sword began to glow quite strongly.

"That's not a vaporization spell is it?" Duilin asked

"Hey, you know Haraldur's here?" Valos said, ignoring what Duilin asked.

"What?" He said, looking around.

"I can sense him talking to Zeros', plus Nex picked up that they were talking, heheh, I think they are allying."

"What!? Why? So is he going to let his crazy revolution go on?" Duilin said sounding angry

"I guess so. I guess you're going to follow Zeros' and let him do it to.? He then smiles and speaks in a more enthusiastic and mocking tone ?And we'll all have a nice barbarian style life, sounds fun eh?"

"THAT'S IT!" Duilin blasted his attack. Valos quickly fired his spell. Duilin's attack was simply vaporized, the spell flew forward and vaporized Duilin as well...

It then slowly made a large explosion. However, only things organic or of magic properties were vaporized.

Valos laughed evilly. He then sent a message to Zeros'.

You're going to need more then Ragnar's help with this one pal.

He then sent a message to Haraldar

I'll let Abodahon know you're stopping by.

The explosion then vaporized Valos as well. He was a bit to close for the spell not to affect him, not to mention the disappearance of a small number of citizens still in the area. The explosion however was not close enough to affect any of our heroes.

[Trent]

"HOLY!!!" Zion.
"SHIT!!!" Xenai. "Duilin! What the fuck was that?!"
"They're... They're both gone."
"...Damnit!" He punched a nearby building. In the end, they couldn't save their friend.

The two of them walked over to Zeros'. "Hey, what on Gaian is going on?"

[Dude Man]

//Ooops, forgot Rink and Marshal.\\

Marshal tried to remember the secret escape passage. He was only told about it once, unfortunately the person chasing him was the one who told him, so he would likely be followed by him, but it would still give him a chance, the tunnel system is large, and dark, he'd likely be able to loose him, not to mention get lost in there, but it's still better then getting enslaved as a zombie. Despite that Roland and the Elder didn't seem like the mindless type, they probably had there own consciousness, unlike the rest of the zombies he saw.

He then remembered, eight tiles left from the rest rooms in hallway F. He made a few turns, followed the stink, and then kicked at the tile he assumed to be the right one. The tile shifted open, and he squeezed himself in. Marshal then relaxed and took a few breaths.

"Holy smokes...." He sighed. "That was a close one..."

----

Rink, obviously noticed the large cyan coloured explosion a few blocks away.

"D....Duilin...DUILIN!" Rink flew towards the former location of his friend, and the one who appeared to have killed him.

"DUILIN!!" He shouted again, collapsing on the ground, pounding the ground. It looked like that Valos was taken by his own attack as well. He wouldn't even have revenge to count on; there was always this Abodahon, who he assumed was Valos' master.

"..."

[Haraldur]

Tesla watched Nick go shaking his head. "What a confused boy..."

________________________________________________________________________

Haraldur grinned. "Once all the lockets Quintus has are destroyed, we will have to search Gaian for any remaining ones in order to be finally rid of Melkoth. Of course, this assumes that they are all on Gaian and not on other places. The search for the lockets need not happen immediately afterwards: we might as well try to do away with some of the others before that. As for Retan and Jayce, I have even more reason than you to wish their destruction, so destroying them is another aim, whether long or short term.

"And as for what is in the lockets and how they work, I will not tell you. However, I respect you enough to tell you why I will not tell you: I have used them in the past, and I will not risk anyone interfering with me again, as that has also been done in the past (by Melkoth, Alpha Retan, Sigma Retan and others...)."

Haraldur watched impassively as Valos and Duilin disappeared, and then smiled. He sent a telepathic message to Valos: Good.. He searched for Duilin's aural signature, and when he thought he had found it, he sent this message: You might get a chance to damage the Grey Empire, Duilin, if you do, please do so, I implore you!

Makhno, jumped over the crenelated battlements and down through an open door on the other side of the wall. He started to walk through the crowded corridors of Bandervil, amongst the many others.

[Burton_projects]

Nick was almost at Bandervil.


Calavous looked at Darak." I have told you many thing that I shouldn't have and thats with your oposing empire.


//Srry I was thinking unclearly today!!\\

[Dude Man]

//That was a bit to speedy, it took Darak and co. 4 or so posts to get there, plus it took Nick around three posts to get three quarters there, yet now he can do it in one post? I wish I could do that.\\
