Dark Age Legends

[Dude Man]

Nex then grew angry "Not that I wan't going to kill you in the first place, but you just gave me a better reason to kill you! Prepare for the most painfull battle of your life!" He yells. He then takes his blade and one of his sickles out. And then as Zeros' charges at him he then flys at him, puts a lock on Zeros' sword with his sickle and then takes his sword and swings it in and upward angle aiming to stab him in the stomoch!

[Xorlak]

The shadows of the forest revealed a smile. Draven was now leaning on the tree with his arms folded. The warriors were talking, but he was just out of hearing range... he thought he could make out the word "Draven" from time to time, though.

"Are they expecting me?" he thought to himself. They do seem rather edgy, flipping swords around, practicing battle poses, and whatnot. Draven's eyes kept returning to the child, timidly clinging to the woman's leg. Is that his mother? Aww... he's got a tiny rapier and sheath... how cute... Heh heh heh...

Draven's mind flipped through a range of diabolical schemes, finally settling on one...

"They're so expectant, hmmm, I wonder..."

Draven now leaned his back against the tree and cupped his hands in front of his chest. Within, he slowly conjured a small ball of flame, its light hidden by his gloves...

----

Iduran stood up and pulled his sword out of the sand, realizing the youth had thought he had collapsed because he was old, rather than his intense fear of heights.

"*Ahem* No thank you. I'm quite all right, yes... quite all right..."

Iduran fingered the small hole in his armor. Although the skin was still quite tender, he was feeling better. Perhaps the old doctor's herbs were worth something after all.

"Where... are we?"

[Haraldur]

The young Haraldur said:

"You are in the realm of Víkingagarđ. If you wish, we can go and see some doctors. After that, I will arrange temporary accomodation for you. No doubt the king will want to speak to you at some point. But, ultimately, what happens is up to you."

[Cyber Wolf]

Seth got out of position and Spoke to Nevina.

"That guy there is Cheetah, he changes his shape, That's Scorch, a wind mage, don't ask about the name, heh. I see you've already met Duilin, and I'm Seth. The two Demons on top of the mountain are Zeros' and Nex. Don't worry about Qeni, Zeros' seems to have saved her. You might want to ready yourself for combat. Draven is coming.."

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

Nevina nodded her head then drew her Holy Bastard Sword and grasped it tightly in both hands, facing out towards the forest.

Nevina whispered to Zev, "Hide.."

[Cesque]

"You there having fun, lovebirds?" - Scorch said with ignorant voice after Nevina and Seth. - "I have bad feeling about this all. We're standing here as in open terrain and it's very likely Draven will ambush us or attack from air while we will least expect this."

Cheetah only looked around nervously, waiting for the inevitable. he practiced few combat moves with his spear.

[Mark of the Dragon]

After a long rest period, Shin's strength was fully restored. He stood, and used his aura to sense everything around him. After feeling a ripple of energy similar to that emmitted from someone with a thick head, Shin raised his hand, and summoned an eagle. He climbed onto the eagle's back, and took off. After following the energy for a short time, he found the source of the yell. He jumped off the eagle and sent it away. He landed a good 15 feet from Nevina's party.

He walked in their general direction, following their energy signal. He moved slowly, so as not to alert them to his presence; he didn't want any Dark Empire soldiers to attack him. When he got close enough to see, he decided it would be better if he made himself known. He formed an ice ball with a small bit of energy, threw it above them, and it began snowing...



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



Gyulim returned to the bar, where the soldiers of Aritan were in uniform, and standing at attention.

"Ma'am!", they all yelled on arrival. She bowed to them.

"Let's go; Shin was just in combat, and since I didn't feel the aura of his ice sword, I have a  feeling that he's either still in combat, or dead. Let us not leave him out there."

With that, the soldiers led her out to their vessel, where a tall, tan-skinned captain stood. He grinned, bowed, and led her on board.

"It's a 1 hour ride to Romme from here if we go full-speed, ma'am", he said.

Gyulim nodded; she wanted to see her love as soon as possible...

[Zeros']

Zev looked up at Nevina. Then he looked up at the snow falling around them. He held out his hand and it just melted. He looked around and saw Shin. He decided it was better the hide then to stay here.

He looked around for some place to hide. He saw Iduran's room unoccupided, he ran towards it and hid right behind the doorway, but he was still able to see outside.

He thought to himself. "I hope my sisters ok..."

----

Zeros' thought to himself, "Draven should be around there by now..." He dodge Nex's stab. He grabbed the blade and it cut through his hand, making blood run down his arm.

"You forgot one thing...I am the master of the blood arts!" He tore his hand from the blade, blood dripped from his hand and down towards the mountain.

He cracked his fingers, he held his fingers outstreached and did an uppercut motion, making blood fly from his hand and form 5 (for the number of fingers he has) crescent blades, flying right towards Nex. Zeros' didn't brake off from the weapon lock, but kept on it, holding Nex in a close proximity.

[Mark of the Dragon]

Shin grinned and said out loud "You didn't have to hide. I just wanted to see if you people were friendly or not. I serve not the Dark Empire, but the Holy Realm of Aritan. My name is Shin."

He glanced at Nevina. "My, what is this lovely young lady doing around here? It's unfitting for a lady to be in a dangerous place like this and to be armed...no women in Aritan serve the army. Sure, we have martial artists, but they never serve." After giving a wink, he approached Scorch.

"And you were the one who's energy I sensed...hah! You're stronger than I thought you'd be...but then again, my readings can be inaccurate from a distance."

Shin paced a bit, then asked, "Who are you people, anyways?"

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

Gyulim decided to explore the vessel a bit. After leaving her room, she headed to the lower level, and entered the galley, where one of the soldiers was hard at work preparing some food...chicken and rice. Gyulim sighed, and grabbed an apple out of a sack and ate; she hadn't eaten in the longest time.

Feeling refreshed, she asked the soldier how long it would take. He said to give it ten more minutes, so she decided to go on deck...

[Zeros']

Zev walked out and waved to Shin. "No...its cause they said..said someone name Draven or something was coming..." He walked back into Iduran's room and hid behind the door and looked back out.

"They told me to hide.."

[Cyber Wolf]

Nevina decided it best to ignore Shins slightly sexist comment, but mumbled under her breath, "I've been fighting since before your great great grandfather could wipe his own ass.."

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

Seth got out of the cavern a ways and made a snow ball out of the falling flakes Shin had conjured. Seth then stuck it in his pocket and headed back to the cave.

Seth began to snicker.

[Zeros']

Zev saw Seth get the snowball and he just shook his head. "I should be doing that.."

[Dude Man]

"Love birds?" He says to Scorch. "If you think that's language of love then, you people have to get out more...." Duilin then made a snowball and then tossed it at Seth hitting him right in the head. And laughed abit, he then pointed to Cheetah "He did it!" He then laughed abit and then stoped as if he was senceing or hereing something. "I think I herd a tree burning or something...."

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

Nex then slashed at blood blades that came at him and then glared at Zeros'. Let's see you do bloods arts when I slice your (Editor: Censored)ing off!!!" He yells as he dives down at him and then aims a sideways speedy slice right at Zeros' neck!

[Zeros']

He simply held up his left hand and blocked the blade.

"Is that the best you've got?" He sighed. "I was expecting more of a challange from a demon who just regained his wings...guess I was wrong." He smirked. he thought to himself, "That should piss him off enough..."

He broke off the attack and sparks flew. He extended his aura, cause the area to heat up. He sheathed his sword.

"Tell you what." he started "I wont even use my Masamune." He shruged. "Use whatever weapon you like."

He held out both his arms and extended his pointer finger on his right hand, and braced himself with his left hand. Sparks extended from his out-streached finger, energy from his aura gained in his hand and soon enough, a large fireball had formed infront of him, the middle where his finger was.

"Bang." An explosion sound could be heard as his finger recoiled, and the large fireball (Lets say...about...3 yards in diameter) flew towards his opponent.

----

Zev just sat there and watched as Duilin acted like a child.

[Dude Man]

Nex then raised his hand at the flame and then it formed one big fireball hovering in his hand.

"Yawn, is what I say to your fireworks show, I want my money back!" Nex then prepared to toss it at him but he just decieded to do something else. He evaporated the fireball. And then he charged up, an electric based attack. It was a large energy ball of electrisity(is that with an S or a C?) and flug it at Zeros' "Boing!" it moved at farely fast speed. "Hoo Hah!" He yells!

[Zeros']

//And its spelled "electricity"

"Sorry. I said no money back gaurntees." He just snapped his fingers and a barrier appeared infront of him, blocking the electricity attack.

"Well, Well." He phased out and then back in right behind Nex. "Demons now adays..." He twisted his arm around backwards and shot, point-blank, right at his head with his spirit energy.
