Dark Age Legends

//Ah great. The demons are all dead, and the side opposed to Armic grows in size...
L.2 (Nevina), L.1 (Ellenna), L.1 (Kismet), L.1 (Kahn), L.1 (Lars [I'm correct about level, right?]), L.1 and L.1 (Frost and Bite), 8 Levels! C'mon guys... Do you really need that many to take down a L.2? =/ //

Armic screamed as the staff seared the flesh of his hands, and he jumped as Ellenna swung her staff, but not quick enough. The staff banged him in the shin.

Landing on all fours at Ellenna's feet, he heard Nevina charging towards him. The man screamed again. A blood curtling, lustful, glass shattering banchee scream, and black energy flew from his being, Darkening the air to an almost pitch black tint.
Armic flipped his silver hair back a bit, revealing his red eye, and with this eye, he could see through the darkness fog.
He ran, heading out of the fog.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nevina heard the shriek and fell to the ground, her ear drums thumbing, all she could here now was a ringing in her ears.
She picked herself up, now temporarily deafened, and blinded by the fog, she began to lose her grip on reality. She thought he saw or heard things that weren't there, tried to block strikes that were never aimed. The fog was robbing her of her sanity, and her senses.
//All characters within the Fog (basically anywhere within a 30 yard radius of Armic, with the exception of Armic himself, should be affected in a way similar to the way Nevina did.//

[Trent]

//Woot! Awesome!

"I guess there's only one way to find out if he's awake..." Zion turned in the direction of where he was sleeping, and took off, thinking that he had felt a spark of life force. Tsu followed as well.
--- --- ---
Xenai slowly opened his eyes, and got to his feet. "What the hell... Where am I? All I remember is the kid slashing me, and I conked out!"

Xenai crossed his arms and tapped his foot. "I suppose I owe those guys an apology... I suppose... Whatever." He snapped his head to the right and spit at the ground, then starting to wait.

[Dude Man]

Duilin grined. "Sure." He took the wooden mallet. "I'm used to chained weapons, but this shall do. Thank you, Kami-Ryu." He went back to his normal exprestion.

He swung the mallet around, getting used to it.

(Yeah, Duilin's equipment, has accually totally changed now)

"So, Kami-Ryu, wile the others are resting do you want to explore the area?" He asked

[Zeros']

"Eh...no idea actually." He said while crouching down and rolling back on the balls of his feet, surprisingly graceful.

[Trent]

Zion came up on the island where Xenai was left. He was glad to see that he was awake. Zion and Tsu landed in front of him, then silence. Everyone had straight faces.

Xenai was the first to speak. "I'm sorry... I guess. Whatever."

Zion's expression didn't change. "Apology accepted."

"Are you lamers just going to stand there with dull faces, or are you going to follow me to Seijin's cloud?" Xenai walked past them and looked up, waiting for it.

Zion relaxed a bit. "Sure, I'll follow."

[Xorlak]

(Heh... Lars is a level 2.)

"I'm merely looking to hire a few good warriors..."

Just then, there was a blood curdling scream and a dark mist formed about the area...

"Gyah!  What is this?"

A red protective orb appeared around Lars as the black mist engulfed the battlefield.  Even under the barrier, the fog was choking... To escape, Lars shot straight up into the air some 50 feet, where he dispersed the barrier and breathed the fresh air heavily...

"Blast.  Ruined my shot..."

Lars' eyes darted around before he noticed Armic shoot out of the fog, making a break for it.

"Forget them.  He's perfect..."

Lars began to glide over and past the mist, following just behind the man as he ran.  He shot Armic an eerie telepathic message:

"Running is not necessary, my friend...  I've been searching for one of your caliber for quite some time...  I have a proposition for you, if you would listen..."

[Cesque]

Kismet jumped back as suddenly a fog began to emanate, dsome dark spell by Armic...

He covered himself with hand and repelled the fog from himself (hge was quite distant from the fight anyway), but still he could not see what was happening inside.

[Cyber Wolf]

Armic continued his run for his Graveyard home, but felt a telepathic message go through mind, and he stopped dead in his tracks.
At first he thought it was Qor, but quickly realized it as being a Mortals voice.
He wasn't sure where the message was from, but he traced the source, and sent a message of his own back to Lars.

Who are you? Where are you? And what is this proposition you offer, my good sir?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The ringing in Nevina's ears finally subsided, but she was still blinded by the Fog, and the air seemed to be getting heavier, and she started to choke.
"*Cough* ugh.... I gotta *cough* outta here!" She managed to say, inbetween coughing fits.
She desided the Fog must have a barrier, and if she ran in a staight line, she would certianly get out eventually.
Nevina attempted to create a sphere of Holy Energy, to help her guide herself out, but the fog seemed to block her connection to her God, she was rendered spell-less!
"Dammit!" She yelled, as she ran blindly, trying to get out of the fog. (She's heading north, towards the city of Laus, While Armic was running south, towards the Graveyard, by the way.)

[Dude Man]

"Gah!" Frost cried, he started coughing

"Geez, What's going on?!" Bite asked

"Black..mist...." Frost then starting running, Bite followed, they fell to the ground, still contious, they looked up and spoted Lars, with the barrier, and the floating up in the air.

"I wonder what the boss is up to now?" Bite asked

"We'll just have to wait and see..." Frost replied

-------

"Very well." Duilin replied. He then started paceing around.

He then looked around. "This is such an odd place..."

[Zeros']

"Indeed." He muttered.

[Haraldur]

Ellenna recovers from the fog. She then stands up, gets overpowered by it again, and collapses for a third time.

__________________________________________________________

Haraldur returned to the surface, strangely, since noone had noticed him going under. He was glowing slightly more than before.

"Zeros', having aquired two of the weapons, you should by now be able to detect the general direction of the nearest weapon. If you can, where is is, roughly? It should feel like a pins and needles sensation, with a direction, but very faint. I know this, because of... research."

[Trent]

The trio took straight up, at the sword cloud. The three burst through right where they were supposed to, simultaneously, and almost in formation. Seijin noticed this as he looked over at them.

"Well, well, well! Good morning, Xenai."

"Feh..."

Seijin got up and walked over to the trio as they landed. "You three were perfectly synchronized, and in formation, you know that, right?"

The three fighters' eyes widened as if to say that they didn't. Sejin danced around in one place with teeming excitement. "Oh, you three are perfect for New Forever!"

[Xorlak]

The shrouded Lars flew over Armic's head, flipping in the air, and landed in front of him before folding his arms inside his cloak.

"I'm looking to assemble a group of warriors with... unique talents...  Your demonstration back there impressed me, outnumbered as you were.  I'm wondering if I could hire you for your services... the pay will be well... very well.  Or if it is not gold that... er... your kind desires, I can ensure that I can make your deepest desires come true once our mission is complete..."

[Dude Man]

"Trust him man." Frost says

"The pay is great!" Bite chips in "Really great."

They show Armic there coins, that Lars gave them.

[Zeros']

"A tingling sensation..." Zeros' remembers what it felt like before with the spear. Zeros' closed his eyes and concentrated. He slowly opened his eyes and touched his back with one hand and lifted up his shirt and coat to where Iduran's sword was. He turned around towards his three other companions.

Under his skin, there was an impression of a sword, covered by hundreds of scars on his back. There were also six parts on his flesh that were covered by his wings. The impression of the sword was glowing a soft blue aura.

"The sword is reacting to the other weapon...the dark aura that eminates from it draws the sword..." Zeros' slowly pointed in a direction which was deeping into the forest of floating trees. Zeros' crossed his arms across his chest and slowly flew towards that direction.

Kami-ryu nodded and started tree hopping towards the direction. His cloak rised everytime he jumped, showing his metal right arm and metal left leg.

"Be wary." Zeros' warned. "There is a great power here...that is not the weapon..."
