Dark Age Legends

[Mark of the Dragon]

Jayce's voice was caught by the cold winds, and was carried far enough to be heard by the Aritan General, Shin Yong Tsing. Upon hearing Jayce's cold and cruel voice, Shin shuddered with fear...the very fear that he never showed before.

"He's...to the north...oh my god..."

Shin locked on to Jayce's aura and  forged two daggers from his ice energy; power alone wasn't going to do anything...he needed speed, and the daggers could offer him just that. His showdown was to begin soon. He let them float in midair...he had something he needed to do first.

He looked at Nevina, his fear evident in his eyes. He waited only a few seconds before he threw himself upon her...

[Trent]

"Oh, crap!" A lot of energy shot out of Zion's feet, launching him toward Iduran at the speed he needed to go to save him. He caught the old knight, and gently laid him on the ground.

He looked up at Draven, phasing out, then in behind him, with his light-enhanced sword already coming down toward the general. The overflowing light left somewhat of a trail in the air as the blade came down toward Draven.

Meanwhile, Zion had another problem. A shivering arm shot out of the ice near the island where the Zero Weapon was, then another arm near the other, and Xenai pulled himself out, just barely alive. "D-d-d-d-d-damn y-y-y-you, y-you b-b-b-b-bastard!"

[Zeros']

//Zev is a wolf, by the way and Qeni is an angel. Read back some posts to find out what happened\\

"Death would be welcomed by me, but I am not ready to die yet." Genma move his right hand (holding his staff) forwards and touched a spot near Draven's heart, giving him a one-second muscle spasm; that was all he needed to get away.

He phased out then back in a few feet away. He saw Cheetah fly away with Iduran, he'd have to get Iduran back another time. He recorded his ki signature and then refocused on Draven.

"Treason? No. Were you ever ordered to kill Iduran?" At the same time, he sent a message to the emperor.

Sorry about this...Draven was about to kill Iduran. We still need him right? Becasue if we do need him and he's dead, well then were screwed.

Genma simply erased all of his ki signature and disappeared from sight, not even the most skilled masters could find him now. This is the advanced version of the Umi-Sen-Ken, now he could only be seen when he wanted to be.

----

Zeros' looked up amused at his master.

"Haha..good one."

The light did nothing to Zeros', but he held his sister tight to make sure she didn't get damaged by it, or blinded.

Zev closed his eyes and then snarled...When the light disappeared, he saw everyone agian, including the ice shield Gelu put up.

He simply landed on the ground then jumped back up to Zeros' and Qeni's height, waiting to see what will happen.

[Haraldur]

The two landed on the ground and arrived at the royal drinking hall. They entered.

"Hi, dad. I would like ships for 20000 men and the men themselves. Things are getting interesting."

The king nodded. Some officials left.

[Xorlak]

(EoN: Cheetah the wyvern caught Iduran two posts before you.  Heh...)

(Haraldur:  I meant something more like:

"The two Haraldurs sped northward over the seas like the wind, a look of determination and resolve in their eyes.  There was only one way to take the colossal ship down...  Soon Víkingagarđ would be on the horizon."

Not bad, eh?)

----

Draven released Genma, bending over and clutching his chest for a second, before pointing a glowing hand at the old master.

"Iduran?  Is that his name?  What does it matter if he dies or not?"

He fired off two crimson orbs, about a foot in diameter and a bit stronger than the last, but Genma vanished and the fireballs sped towards the ground, exploding upon impact and shaking the very ground itself.

"Coward!  Where did you go?!"

He thrust both hands forward and downward-- another larger orb of crimson light appeared before them, swelling to two feet in diameter.

He turned his head, looking for his target, but instead saw Zion coming in fast.

"Insects!  I will destroy you all!!"

Taking the larger fireball in his left hand, he heaved it straight towards the charging Zion.

----

Genma received a reply:

"Who is this... Iduran?"

(The Dark Empire doesn't really know the details.  They just want the sword.  That doesn't neccessarily mean you're not on to something...)

----

Jayce ignored the explosions, Draven's yelling, the chaos behind him...  The sword is Draven's problem, not his.

This, however, could be more... interesting...

He re-sheathed the massive sword on his back and took off flying southward, leaving the aerial brawl behind.  His black cape spread out behind him as he sped through the winds, like the dark wings of a dragon...

[Zeros']

The leader of the Romme empire. Do you want him alive? Genma said to the emperor.

[Cesque]

Cheetah turned to human form and wandered a bit off from the battlefield. Which didn't mean Draven wasn't able to launch some epic fireball at them any minute.

"What is happening? Who are all these... newcomers?" - he asked Iduran.

-----

Gelu didn't really care much about what was happening, as long as Draven was playing with his fire/light effects. But he knew something went wrong.

[Trent]

//Heh... Whoops. Need to read these posts more thoroughly.//

Tsu was shivering in the cold. "Man... How'd it g-get like this?" He climbed onto his cabin, then jumped from its roof onto a tree, then jumped to another tree, then another, and another. He got up as high as he could, and looked around, seeing the conflict as little dot people with swords and fireballs. "What the...?" Tsu jumped off the tree. Dumb. He crashed into the ground and rolled forward several times, and would be seen now with swirly eyes if he were in an anime.

As Zion swung the sword down, he noticed the fireball coming in. It was too late. The fireball scorched his body, and he was sent flying.

"I got it!" Xenai jumped high up into the air, grabbing Zion. Zion turned his head to look at him. "...You."

"Yeah, me." Xenai spun around, and threw Zion straight down towards the ice. Zion sucked much of the overflowing energy from his Eternity Weapon, giving himself enough energy to land on his feet and do a backflip away from the now crumbling ice underneath him. He looked up at Xenai. "You're not my problem right now!" With that, he took back off toward Draven.

[Cyber Wolf]

Now that Zeros' had left him, Tsar decided he should use the time to repair his severec spine.

 He focused on the back of his neck, and his eyes flipped back in his skull.

 His body shined with a red aura, and a gold band circled his neck.

It then tightened around, then absorbed into his skin.

It acted as if it were a welders flame and his spine were steel bars.

The pain was unbareable, but Tsars neck was now repaired.

"Ha.. I only you understood my predicament, Deamon.." He said.

Then to himself he whispered, "But he's.. right...."

______________________________________________________________

Nevina was knocked down by Shin, and he now lay on top of her.

"YaaH! wha.. huh..?..." She said, her voice getting lighter every syllabol.

She laughed and tried to played it off a bit.

She then looked looked intently into Shins eyes, and wanted to hug him in a way.
______________________________________________________________

Seth looked over at Shin and Nevina and sighed.

God I hate human nature.. he said, as he slashed at a few bushes, incenerating the leaves with the aura.

"Whatcha say we go kick some Dark Empirian ass, eh Duilin?"

[Xorlak]

Draven brought both arms to his side, glowing brightly, as he watched Zion begin another charge from below.

He pressed both hands together in front of his chest and began to pull them apart slowly, a stream of fire flowing in between.  When he was satisfied with the length. he grabbed one end of the pillar of flame with his right hand and released it with the other, the flame molding into his familiar crimson blade.

Raising the blade of flame above his head, he dove diagonally downwards, spiraling straight for Zion, crimson flames streaking behind him...

"Nyaaaaahhhh!!!!"

----

Perfect.

Jayce had come to the foothills of the mountains in the center of the island.  He landed on a large plateau with a drop-off on all sides.  The terrain was relatively rocky, yet flat, only a few shrubs struggled through the stone ground.  An idea battlefield...

He folded his arms and closed his eyes, his black cape and black hair flowing in the wind, 'watching' the aura not far from him...  He'll come...

----

"Do whatever is necessary to obtain the sword..." was the reply to Genma.

----

Iduran opened his eyes, seeing the familiar face of Cheetah.  What a relief...

"I have... no idea..."

He struggled to sit up.

"Ooohhh..."

He reached into the pouch he was carrying with him, and drank the M-Potion he had stored a while back.  Now he can stand, and he did so, facing Cheetah.  Blast, no weapon...

"Hmmm, you wouldn't have seen a young man around here, about 16 or so years of age, would you?"

Blast it.  Now, where was Haraldur?

[Haraldur]

While Iduran was wondering about the younger Haraldur's position, both of them were on ships. There were hundreds of ships around them. Most of them were going in the direction of Romme. Those going to Romme had over 20000 men on board. Streaks of energy could be seen passing from ship to ship, and the ships travelled in an almost synchronised way, but there was no obvious communication. The commanders used telepathy to talk with eachother. And the winds were totally favouring them.

The ship with the two Haraldurs on was not going to Romme however, but was going to go to the other kingdoms around Romme, and to places further afield on a diplomatic mission. Their first destination was to be Tjed, a nation which, although it was at was at war with Romme ten years ago, is now on very good terms with the island.

The elder Haraldur hoped the local kingdoms and the more powerful outside ones would take them seriously. After all, they had not had serious war with the Dark Empire before...

//Xorlak, I will make up places as I go along, unless you create them (which would probably be better, since things would probably get less muddled, or at least, less muddled than if I just create places to try to persuade.

Oh, and, what happened to Iduran's ability to use wind spells? (See the Bio of him in the first sign-up.)//

[Dude Man]

Duilin awoke and then exited the cave. He then looked over at Shin and Nevina. He started to feal a little bit jeaouls, not because of he liked Nevina, but because it appeared they loved each other, or something, when, has had no true love, sure there was those hot Dark Empire maid's he's been with, but he never seemed to have love. He then smiled and cuckleded at the two, and then turned around over to Seth.

"Yeah sure, I guess so, let's go. I'll show you were Veronika's camp is!" Duilin says

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

"Huuhhh?" Pophin groans, opening his eyes. He has a spiting head ache, and he seems to have been tied up very tightly. He then notices what has happend. "Ack!! I knew we should have trusted that traitor...Now were's Nex...He then looks around, and spot's what appear's to be a broken, badly named Grave stone, however, the name Nex was still readable. He then say a small note

Okay, Pophin, here is Nex.
I told ya we would find him!
Have a great day!

                 Your friend
                   ~Duilin Talonscar

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!" Pophin yelled in rage. The sound could be herd from in and abit out side the cave.

[Cesque]

"I have no idea." - Cheetah answered Iduran. - "I guess he moves form place to place, messing up with weather, but when I arrived, he already left, I guess."

What was really going on? The surroundings changed into one big battle, with people Cheetah never saw before. Something bad must be going on.

-----

From behind the ice barrier, Gelu could notice more streams of flames. Draven must have been fighting someone. He raised his hands and suddenly the barrier of ice melted into water which then dropped on the ground.

Some newcomer was fighting Draven... And the general lost control over Iduran. Basicaly, not good. But for a short while, Gelu decided just to watch how it all unfolds.

[Zeros']

Genma nodded to himself in his invisible aura cloak. He focused his mind and found where Cheetah landed. He landed on the ground then speed towards there, reaching the location in a few seconds.

Genma released his invisible aura cloak and waved to the two, he kept his ki at a very low level, not trying to aurouse anyone.

"Iduran...you have to come with me." He touched down his staff on the ground and put his other hand behind his back.

----

Zeros' pushed Qeni away gently then unsheathed his sword and twirled it, looking at Gelu.

He looked to Zev and then closed his eyes.

"Zev...protect your sister." He just nodded. He also wanted to protect her.

Zeros' landed and reached right infront of Gelu.

"A former agent of the dark empire..."

[Cesque]

"And who are you?!" - Cheetah asked.

---

"A winged demon protecting some two kids and opposing Dark Empire..."

Gelu did not waste time for longer conversation - he raised both hands and in each, he began to form cones of ice.
