Dark Age Legends

[Dude Man]

"Bah! YOU FOOL! HE didn't know we were here, he was in the inn, and now you just have.....grrr you! Hypocryte!!!! I....don't know what to do now..." Duilin then calapses on the floor from exhaution and from confusion, for some reason.

[Cesque]

Scorch looked around. Silence. Something must have happened to his mind. He moved his arms and legs.

"Free?" - he asked himself. - "Oh well. Now I guess I must settle down things with few people..."

-----

Cheetah woke up finaly. - "Huh. Outsiders." - he came toward the arrived soldiers. - "(yawn) Oh well, greetings."

(now, can anyone draw me a basic sum-up of what's going on, who's fighting who? thanks for Cyber for brief explanation so far Wink)

[Xorlak]

(Welcome back!  Scorch should wake up to find himself unguarded, surrounded by dead and wounded Dark Soldiers.  Outside the cave Cheetah is in, Zeros' and Nex are fighting.  Haraldur is inside with Iduran (but he's on vacation at the moment).  Draven is at a village south of the cave with Duilin and Seth.)

----

(You guys are so violent, heh...)

Hearing an explosion and screams just outside, Draven returned through the door he just entered to find three of the soldiers sprawled out on the ground and one just standing there, dumbfounded.  A quick glance to his left revealed someone quickly descending upon him.  Draven did a leap forward and to his right, landing some ten feet away from the unknown warrior as his claws sliced through the wooden frame of the door like paper.

Turning around, Draven folded his arms and let out a deep sigh.

"What is this now... number five?  Really..."

Draven squinted at the unknown warrior angrily.  Immediately a burst of flame exploded from his body.  Fire surged in all directions, igniting the inn and the buildings on the opposite side of the street.  Many surrounding villagers were knocked off of their feet, while the rest ran for their lives, screaming.  A dim aura of flame remained wrapped around Draven.

"So tell me, what business do you have with High General Draven of the Dark Empire?"

[Zeros']

Zev shurged, "I dunno if I have any...but, I think her magic activates when someones near death..She would agree to it if Zeros' was here.."

----

The three guards arrived, and reported back to Iduran, knowing that he wouldn't be happy.

"Sir...he said not to help him so...we came back...he also cast a protective barrier around the outside of the cave, so theres no way we can help him anyways."

----

Zeros' stood there. "Hmm...now now, what should I do? AH! I know..."

Zeros' spun his sword around him a couple times and then sheathed his sword. He held out his two hands and started to gather ice energy in both of his hands.

Once he had enough energy, he brought his two hands together and combined the two powers, making a ball of ice energy.

He threw this at the fireball. When the two energy's hit, they both canceled out each other, but not without making a huge explosion and sending energy back to each of them.

Zeros' unsheathed his sword agian and spun it around, he then held it out and tried to block the energy, but the energy was great, he was struggling.

[Cesque]

(Zeros... Isn't "Zev" hebrew for "Wolf"? Wink )

"Hmm..." - Scorch said to himself. - "Before I'll draw my vengeance - which propably will cause me trouble again - I'll have to somehow find the rest of the group... And this foreigner who freed me... Weren't they heading to some southern village?"

Scorch's sight slowly returned - apparently the inside head damage after burn healed a bit even without Nagash' magic. - But still, he saw blurred images.

-----

"What to do? What to do? Greater conflict seems to come to our land." - Nagash thought, as suddenly a pack of frenzied wild boars ran out of the woods as if something scared them, and charged at Nagash, noticing him. Ensured about his attunity to earth due to being an earth mage, as he tried to calm the animals down, he was attack and thorn into pieces.

This was the end of him.  B)

("oh my God, they killed Nagash!" now I'll have to control only 2 characters, yippie)

-----

Cheetah wandered around near the cave. "What the...?" - he asked. - "Protective barrier? Fights? What is this all about...? I sense trouble again."

[Cyber Wolf]

(Yeah, Zev is Hebrew for wolf, I named a character in a game I was making once that because he was a Wolf-Man thing, lol. I thought Draven was outside.. gah.. XD must pay attention.)

Seth looked around and noticed Duilin wasn't with him.

"Uhmm.. uh oh?" Seth mumbled, embarrassed.

"Ah, but may I ask what bussiness the Dark Empire has here? Why do you want to take over Romme?" Seth asked.

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

Nevina just stands there doing nothing. She has nothing to do. =/

[Dude Man]

Nex raises his hand at the energy comeing toward him, and aborbs it forming another fire ball, he fires it at Zeros' wile he is fighting off the other energy.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Duilin then gets up and looks at Draven.

"Hey, Draven, remember me? Duilin? Anyways, what the hell are you doing here? Just leave, were busy with some harmless mission..."He says to Draven.

[Zeros']

Zeros' deflects his ball of energy, and flings it at the fireball, going right through it, and going towards Nex.

"Hmph..." he also put more energy in it, making it alot stronger then the one Nex absorbed.

//Make it more fun...heh.\\

[Dude Man]

The energy ball headed toward him, he swung his blades infront of him the block the energy, but the energy hit him in the torso before he could block it, and he fell to the ground, but quickly recoverd. No standing he ran at Zeros', jumped kicked at him and tossed one of his blades at him!

[Cesque]

Scorch was still unsure what to do. He tried to focus and notice something in the kaleidoscopic view he had before his eyes. As the vision began to reveal some things, he noticed the shore in the distance. Knowing he should follow this way, he began heading south, toward the caves and the village...

"The sword... the sword is the key to power to destroy the Dark Empire... Now, where the thunderclap is that sword? I hope Iduran still has it!"

-----

"Lovely fireworks."- commented Cheetah, with one of his totally-lacking-any-sense comments.

[Xorlak]

Draven smirked at Seth.

"We're merely collecting something we require... and you didn't answer my question..."

Draven extended his right palm.  Surges of crimson energy surged before it, forming into an orb that slowly grew in size... clearly he was putting more energy into this attack than the normal fireball.  Even if Seth dodged it, the already burning inn behind him would surely be destroyed...

Before launching the attack, Draven turned his eye towards Duilin.

"You... yes... Leave huh?  Why don't you wait your turn..."

Draven remembered Duilin traveled with the man with the sword.  Perhaps he could lead him to it...

Still charging the fireball with his right, Draven thrusted his left hand in the direction of Duilin, forcing a blast of heated air towards him in an attempt to push him back...

----

Iduran turned in his cot.

"Blast it! ... Maybe he has a chance by himself...  Better guard the cave entrance, though, just in case..."

[Cyber Wolf]

Seth cocked his head at an angle and stared at the Crimson ball of energy surging in Dravens hand with curiousity.

"How is it these people summon elements so quickly, and with seemingly no Verbal or Somatic components..?" Seth thought to himself.

"Ah, and you require.. Idurans sword? For what purpose? Who commands you, Draven?" Seth asked, trying to buy some time, while he tried to preform a move he had never attempted before, his hands flailing behind him on odd motions, odd verbal incantations racing through his mind..

[Xorlak]

Draven raised an eyebrow at his unknown adversary, the ball of energy in his palm still pointed at him.

"You are correct.  Our Emperor requires it.  That is all I know and all I care.  If you could lead me to it, though, I can make it worth your while..."

Well, it wasn't all he knew, but all he needed to tell his enemies...

[Zeros']

Zeros' smirked.

He blocked the blade, sending it flying off behind him, and straight into the top of the cave (like the roof of the cave).

The kick hit him in the chest and sent him flying off into the barrier, sending a loud shock through the cave. The guards that arrived to protect the front of the cave, incase the barrier breaks, arrived right when Zeros' hit the barrier.

Zeros' pushed back agianst the barrier and stood upright agian.

He spun his sword around agian and then sheathed it.

He concentrated his energy and another wing grew out of his right side.

He flew up into the sky.

When he arrived, he contrated all his energy into a fire, water, and thunder elements (the thunder were coming out of his wings).

He combined them and formed a glowing red phoenix being.

Zeros' started to laugh.

"Haha....how will you candle this?"

[Cyber Wolf]

"Just because your master requires the sword does not serve as good enough purpose for me to join you. Duilin here has saved my life a few times, but you here, are threating mine. I think I'll stick with Duilin if it's all the same to you, sir." Seth said, a bit cocky, as his spell was near completion..

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

Nevina walks off into the armory without so much as a word to Zev or Qeni.

She looks through the weapons she has, and finds a small dagger and a rapier about the same length as a short sword.

She heads back to the Kings Bedroom and hands a weapon to each child; dagger for Qeni, rapier for Zev.

"I hope niether of you end up having to use these, but after that attack.. who knows what will happen, eh? I nearly died.."

//What am I gonna do with these kids? Nevina is just playing baby sitter =/, nothing interesting for Nevina, Qeni, or Zev.. I'll try to think up something, heh.//
