Dark Age Legends

[Cyber Wolf]

Seth simply said, "To a village, for supplies. You said we needed to do that right? Maybe I can find a better weapon.."

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

Nevina spoke to the man, "What are you here for? Why do you want these children?"

The Man said, "My name is Bane Glasno, I feast upon children, now out of my way!"

Bane flew quickly by Nevina, slashing her side on the way to the Children.

Nevina bowed down and Bane thought she was doubling over in pain, but really she was quietly whispering a prayer in an ancient tongue. Her hand glowed with a white aura and she applied her hand to the wound.

 In a few seconds, it dissappeared, and while Bane was turned, licking his lips, hands out streched to the children, Nevina thrusted her Scimitar into Banes back.

It went straight through and came about 6 inches from Zevs forehead.

Bane screeched in agony. But, Bane was an un-dead creature...

Nevina pulled the Scimitar out of Banes back, thinking he was dead.

Bane turned quickly, stabbed Nevina in the torso and took her Scimitar.

Bane pushed her into the wall.

She crumpled down and while Bane thought she was done for, Bane turned around.

Nevina pulled her Holy Dirk from under her skirt and stabbed Bane with it in the area where his heart should be.

His flesh steamed and Bane cried inhumanly.

Bane exploded into a dazzling cloud of black dust.

Nevina was crippled from her stab wound, and did not have the strength to heal herself.

She passed out on the floor, a foot from the bed, bleeding.

[Zeros']

//Hmm...should I let a character die off? And Dude Man, control Raven...lol...since he's your brother character.\\

Qeni finally woke up from all the racket and saw Nevina bleeding. They both ran towards her.

Zev shook her gently, "Hey...hey...HEY!? Wake up.." Qeni was bent over where Nevina's wound was, crying. When her tear hit Nevina's wound, the hole started to close and stopped the bleeding.

(If you didnt notice, thats her special power...Zev's will come in later...when the time is right...heh.)

Qeni stopped crying. She tried to pick up Nevina, but she was way too heavy. Zev also tried to help, but for a grown women, it was far too much of a task.

[Xorlak]

Draven slowed down as he heard an explosion and saw Nex rocket above over the treetops.

"Sometimes I just don't know about him..."

The bushes to his left shuffled and three Dark Soldiers and their guard captain appeared, brandishing their weapons, one injured.  They lowered their arms as soon as they recognized their general.

"My lord!  It is awful..."

"What?"

"This forest is infested with violent little trollish things with rock-hard skin... It takes much effort to even injure them with our weapons... We've lost most of our company already..."

Draven saw the bushes rustle behind the guard captain as he spoke, and one of the brutish trolls emerged from them, preparing to chop the man in the back with his axe.  Draven extended his arm and two fingers from his fist, which glowed crimson red for a second before emitting a small blast of flame, which shattered the troll on impact.  Keeping his pose, Draven shifted his eyes towards the captain.

"Miserable... So, you've been spending your time running instead of searching..."

The guard captain stuttered, but could not respond in time.

"Come with me.  Keep your eyes pealed for some sort of cave."

Draven walked on, the four soldiers timidly following their gerneral, half afraid of him, half relieved that they found him before another group of trolls...

Up ahead was a deep entangleation of vines and other shrubbery.  Draven extened his palm in order to blast it away, but thought it better to approach the cave quietly, wherever it was.  So he ordered the soldiers  to hack away at the foliage as they continued on.

[Zeros']

Zeros' could sense something coming. He also heard Nex land near by, "Not him agian...". It wasn't Nex, but he could feel someone else coming. He put one hand on his sword and let one hand to his side.

One of the guards started to step forward, but Zeros' motioned him to stop.

"But sir..."

"No...its nothing...don't worry about it."

He knew there was something coming, but who...

[Dude Man]

//Okay Raven has been knocked out now, because I don't think he's going to be posting, even when he dose go online *and he barely dose* and even when I told him this, he did not post, so to bad for him//

Nex then recoverd and got up. He shifted his eyes around. He then sneaked around a little bit, and saw Zeros' and then sneaked back to were he landed.

"Okay....so I'll kill him, and then me and Draven will wipe out who ever is inside the cave!" Nex thought to himself. He then looks around for Draven to see of he is here yet.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"Okay, then, let's get going then" Duilin replies. He then follows Seth to the village...

[Xorlak]

Draven looked up through the dense treetops to see if he could get a handle of the direction he was going by the position of the sun, but the dense cloud cover and the fact that it was high noon made this difficult.  Frustrated with not seeing anything after a half hour, Draven levitated himself, folding his arms as he floated skyward to the level of the leafy canopy, then a bit higher.  The forest surronded him in all directions. A bit further on in front, he could see the sea, so he must be heading in the right general direction (east).  He then looked southward, at what appeared to be a clearing.  Rising a bit higher, he could make out what looked like small huts and houses.

"Hmmm..."

Draven fell back downward through the trees, landing on his feet in the middle of the four soldiers looking up at him.

"This way, boys.  Change of plans..."

Abandoning the cave idea for the moment, he lead the soldiers in the direction of the village.

(Draven actually strayed a bit south of the cave, and may be closer to Duilin and Seth...)

[Dude Man]

Duilin then paused for a moment....He felt abit un safe

"Hmmm...." He then turned around "Oh no.......Draven..." He then cluched Iduran's sword he had with him "Seth, we should either run, or get ready to fight..."

============

"What the devil is takeing him so long!?" Nex says impatiently "Ack, I'll just wipe out the cave myself...I bet that sword is in there to!" Nex walks over to were he remembers were the cave was, and spots Zeros' outside of it (He is outside right?)
he then swings out his two blades and prepares to kill everybody who he can.

[Zeros']

//Yeah, but hes near the enterence.\\

Zeros' turned around with his hand still on the hilt of his sword.

"..." he unsheathes his sword and blocks Nex's blade attack (He is attacking right?), he then turns around to the guards, still blcoking the attack.

"You two! Go inform Iduran and Haraldur! Now!" he yells to the two guards stationed outside the cave.

"Yes sir!" the guards run off towards where Iduran and Haraldur are.

"Hmph...you agian...why don't you just give up and leave."

----

The guards arive at Iduran and Haraldur's location.

The guards salute Iduran.

"Sir! The enemy is appreared! That mysterious man is locked in combat with one of there generals!"

[Dude Man]

//No..he didn't attack, but let's just say he did, just not to mess up the story. :angry://

Nex then relases the attack //that he did not make :angry: //

"I'm sorry, I don't know the meaing of the term, "Give Up And Leave" but I do know the meaing of the term "Gut You Like A Fish" and that's what I'm going to do to you!"
 
He swings one blade at his torso and one and one swinging at the legs.

[Cyber Wolf]

Seth got into his loose battle stance, arms sloping down one at a time in rythm, knees bent, swaying back and forth; he was ready. A glint in his eye, his face expressionless, ready to strike at the first sight of enemy at a staggering speed.

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

Nevina began to stur, and she slowly got back onto her feet, her blue hair scrambled all over her head.

She combed her hair back in place with her hand.

She asks Qeni how she revived her. Qeni does not respond. Nevina thanks Qeni.

She saw the bastard sword and a back sheath laying in the ashes.

She picked them up, and walked into a room in the palace made completely of gold, and containing only a golden tub studded with precious gems. A tub full of Holy Water.

She carefully dunks the bastard sword into the tub and does an elaberate hand gesture involving her hand going in an "okay" gesture and pulling it back, above the sword.

She pulled the sword out of the water and it glowed with a holy white aura for a few seconds.

She puts the back sheath on her back, puts the bastard sword into the sheath and walks back to the Kings Bedroom and picks up her scimitar.

"Isn't as safe here as Zeros' probably though eh?" Nevina asks the children.

~Nevina has aquired a Holy Bastard Sword~

[Zeros']

//Well he said "swings his blades out"...so...\\

He blocks the top blade with his sword, then he grabs the lower blade with his left hand.

He meances in pain, blood started to flow from his hand.

"Hmph..." he put his hand up to his mouth and licked it.

"Blood Blades." he slashes his hand downward and to the left (Like this ----> /  ), then downward and to the right. (Like this ---->  \   ).

Crecent blades formed from his left hand, and flew towards his opponent.

He smirked.

----

Zev nodded and Qeni said nothing. Zev pointed towards Qeni.

"She never talks to anyone, but me or Zeros'"

[Xorlak]

(Since Duilin isn't wearing his Dark Empire armor anymore and Draven never saw Seth, he probably won't recognize the two.  Just don't let him see the sword!)

Draven arrived at the open gates of the village, passing two suspicious characters who he payed no mind, his attention fixed on one thing.  One of the soldiers following him happened to glance at the two, standing some distance away at the edge of the forest half hidden behind a bush.  The soldier paused for a second, studying Duilin's face curiously, but then carried on, following his general.

The town was one of those quaint, picturesque villages that Draven absolutely could not stand.  The urge to utterly destroy it with his gigantic-fireball-of-death attack was nearly overwelming, but he restrained himself, realizing the potential use he could make out of it.  The streets were rather populous for a small village, filled with people whispering rumors of the "attack on Romme castle" and the "explosions heard yesterday".  Many became frightened by the sight of Draven and his entourage as they walked down the unpaved road and avoided them.

Draven stopped in front of a larger wooden building, plainly marked "INN" and stroked his chin for a moment.

"Wait here."

He entered the door alone.

----

(Uh oh, I think Haraldur is on vacation...)

Iduran sat up in bed.

"What!?  I must..."

He attempted to rise, but the old cloaked man held him down.

"No, you must not!"

"Blast it!  Somebody must help him!"

Two more guards, hearing the conversation, joined the one sent inside and grabbed their arms.  After a moment, three fully armed Romme soldiers appeared at the mouth of the cave.  Two wielded broadswords and a heavy shield, while the third carried a long spear.

[Zeros']

He saw the soldiers appear. They start to come near him, but he stopped them.

"No you musn't!" he yelled out to the soldiers.

"But...but sir..." they started to come forward some more.

"No! This is a battle between daemons...I have more honor then to accept help...it is agianst my code!"

He took his left hand, still bleeding, and he drew a spell in the air, and released a barrier spell.

They started slashing at it, but only to be blew back.

"What is he thinking..." one of the soldiers whispered.

"Cmon...lets report back to Iduran." the started to go back to where Iduran was.

[Dude Man]

The slash to right was blocked. Nex blocked the other, but it wasn't as succesful, he hit his blade but it still scaped along and hit him, not causeing more then a long cut. He kicked Zeros' away, not enough to hurt him but to push him away (he likes doing that) and then raised his hands over his head and aborbed heat and made a fire ball and blasted it at Zeros'.

//Heh, FYI, deamons are almost imune to fire, but since Zeros' is only half deamon it would still do some damage//

-----------

"Hey...I thought I say somebody look at me...but Draven dosen't seem to notices us. I don't  know about you, but I'm going to take advantage of that!" Duilin says. He sneaks over to the bush, and then he rose his hands over his head and aborbed heat and made a fire ball and then tossed the good ol' fire ball of death at Draven's thugs, causeing them flying in the air and land wile burning to a crisp!

[Cyber Wolf]

"Bah! Why'd you do that? Now they know of our presence. Do not have a single stealthy bone in your body? Now we must make a head on attack on Draven, who obviously knows we're here." Seth scowled.

 "Oh well, we can still wail on him." Seth said with a smurk and a wink.

  Seth charged as fast as he could, reaching Draven when he was half turned around and Seth slashed with his steel claws with deadly force.

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

"Well that's rather pecuilar." Nevina said with interest.

"Well, your sister has magical abilities, do you Zev?"

"If Qeni would, I could teach her some curative magic, she seems to have potential.." Nevina said, her voice trailing off at the end.
