Arabian Nights...

[Roland Gilliad]

Rei: i sat down net to Ussin and took off my long flowing white cloak. She spotted me because she saw that cat like glint in my eyes...i let her see me....i can conceal it when i have to.Ussin alwase was a calm one.thats why he was the boss. i smiled at vixen "You are quite observant young lady.I personaly throught i would be able to stay hidden until a little later.i guess i cant alwase predict someones abilitys right off the bat. ah dinner is here...pardon me but i am starved." and i dug into the good food

 

[Darb]

"Bella, I'm a happy man now that you are here." Ussin looked at Bella's face hidden behind her veil.
She blinked in a way that he knew she was blushing.
"Garrett, I see that your leg is hurt...I'll have my physician look at it." Ussin declared, and snapped his fingers. A guard left the room returning not more than 15 seconds later with a scrawny little arabian man with a rather large turbin on his head.
"Shailek, look after this mans leg." Ussin commanded. The man went to Garrett and began to tend to his leg.
"You see Miss Vixen, I think you have completely misunderstood who I am." ussin declared giving her a wink.
"I have spent most of my life here gaining power, riches, and whatever else my heart desired. All, to my regret, at whatever means necessary. I didn't care who I killed, hurt, scarred, buried...it didn't matter...then. But, something has come to my attention lately (glancing affectionately at Bella) to make a man like myself want to start fresh. You all are to receive the first fruits of my new found demeanor." He said with a smile. Ussin stood to his feet. He looked over his crowd. All eyes were on him save for Rei who was greedily devouring all food in sight.
Ussin lifted is arms up and out.
"Whatever is mine is yours." He said. He clapped his hands together and the room filled with women scantly clad in sheer clothing. The women went to all of the three guests and stood behind them.
"When you are ready these ladies will show you to your quarters. Guards will follow you, only for your protection, you may leave whenever you wish...but if you leave, I must warn you...you will no longer be under my protection. I have received word tonight that there is a large force here from europe...evil comes with them...I hope that you will take this into consideration before you decide to leave my shelter. I know it may seem hard to believe, my wanting to change and all, but you must believe me." Ussin bowed at the waist to his three guest and then turned to Bella.
"You my dear, will stay with me tonight. I fear that this force is meant to bring you harm. You will not leave my sight from this moment on!" He snapped his finger and the two largest guards came and stood directly behind Bella.

The drink was good. At once he felt his leg was better, but, like everything in this desert, it was only temporary.
The physician, however, completely healed his leg. Garret put his foot down, testing it. there was a dull pain, but nothing serious, he might even be able to run, if he had too.
Garret sat down, next to Vixen. They were about to go to bed, ordered more like it. Garret didn't want to leave Vixen, he had to tell her, although Ussin had practiacally told her already. Lokken was coming, and he was NOT happy.
Vixen was "escorted" into another room, Garret would have taken them both if he had his broadsword with him, unfortunately it was probably in the hands of some thief, or even worse, a tax collector.
Garret shuddered. Two guards came to him.
Garret walked slowly down the hallway. These two guys didn't miss a beat, he had to follow them, for a little while at least. He wondered where Vixen was.
"This is it," one guard said, opening a door.
Garret stepped inside.

 

[Roland Gilliad]

Rei: turned to ussin who was still in the room with me
"wonderful speech Ussin....do you think they suspect what they are really coming for?"
he turned an spoke
"of course not.. they think Lokken is after me....and that will be their downfall, now join me in a celebration drink as we have done well in our mission!" we laughed and sat down to a few drinks before heading to bed. i stopped by vixens room to talk
::Knock Knock::
vixen said
"yes who is it?"

"It's Rei are you decent i need to talk to you for a second."

 

[Morgoth]

Hoofbeats echoed into Ussin's castle, the main gates were blown inwards after many shouts, the footsteps followed into the castle, there wasn't just one, but somewhere around 30. Then Ussin's throne room door buckled once, buckled twice, and splintered. All of Ussin's gates come running into the room. Standing in the doorway was Lokken and 50 of his demons. Lokked like Ussin's estimations weren't to good. All of them were in pitch black armor. Lokken's was studded with jewels of all shapes and sizes.
" Hello, my name is Lokken as most of you know already and with your permission, Princess Bella, I can take you and any of your friends back to Europe. As for the intrusion, quite necessary, as your gaurds wouldn't let me in, you understand, Ussin, as you are also a bussinessman", Lokken said.

 

[Darb]

OOC:is it necessary to push the story along with such force, morgoth, let's give it room to grow before your indestructible God blows the SL!!!!

IC:
USSIN, sat calmly on his throne. Bella jumped behind the two mammoth guards. Fear was written all over her face.
"Lokken," Ussin said very calmly"I see that though you're from Europe, the manners usually asociated with that part of the world didn't really take hold to you."
Lokken smirked.
"Well, Bella, this rather rude man has asked a question. Would you be so kind as to give him your answer." Ussin turned and looked at the fair-skinned beauty who looked rather shaken at this ABNORMAL commotion.

 

[ShyGoddess]

Bella:

Her voice was whisper soft, "I don't know this man, and will go no where with him."

Lokken looked at her, "I mean you no harm, Princess."

"It does not matter. I give my trust carefully and only to those who have earned it. I do not know you, sir, and there for cannot go anywhere with you." again her voice was nothing more than a whisper.

Saddam smiled broadly at her answer. "It is settled then."

 

[Roland Gilliad]

Rei:Before she awansered the door i heard a huge crash and bang....Lokken...he's early...I Ran down the hallway with cheeta like speed. i Reached the thrown room to find lokken seething and he said in his dark and evil voice
"Fine. But do not think you have seen the last of me USSIN!" he summoned his dark guard and rode out of the castel. Ussin was totaly confident. "Calm and collected as alwase eh boss?" ussin smiled at me "Yes, well we knew he was coming so i wasent surprised." his manner turned grave
"but he came here straight away witch is what i didnt expect. i will set my mage guard and call in a few friends for backup. i think both you and vixen may know him but i dont know how he is right now...."
i saw the look in his eye and knew right away who he was going to call in....his 2nd in command....Rolando...
(insert surprising-evil music here)

 

[Morgoth]

OOC: Okay Roland, that's it, I'm gonna boil you alive, you better introduce a new character, dumbass, goes i'm going to kill you right after you right or right after 3 posts from now, I told you I was mad, but no, you don't listen, do you?

Story:
Lokken was calm(as opposed to what Roland said, that little bitch) as he said," That is fine, my Lady, and I have no wish to come back and get you forcefully, and neither do I wish to do it now, but Ussin, as I read your minds, I see you wish to trick these good people. Would you care to explain? And also can anyone suggest a lodging area of actual worth? Also, my manners are rude because I was mocked and denied passage to see you, Ussin. Nice gaurds you raised."

 

[Moneytalks]

Vixen opened her door only to find the hall empty and a loud crashing noise coming from the main room they had just left. "What the...?" she started just as Garret also poked his head into the hallway.

"Vixen!" He cried out... "it's Lokken... he's brought an army!"
"What???" Vixen looked at him like he was mad.
"I'm serious... that was why I came... to warn you..."
Vixen's eyes hardened as she took in this information.

"How's your leg?"
"Fine now, that healer was pretty good... oh!... but not as good as you M'Lady!" He hurriedly finished.
She looked heavenward and shook her head... "it doesn't matter, I need to know if you're able bodied enough..."
"Yes M'Lady Vixen... I'm ready... what are we going to do?"
"We're going to find out exactly what is going on around here... so far I haven't seen anyone tell me the whole truth, only variations of it."
Vixen checked her knives and hurriedly removed her veil like outter clothing that she had used to look like a common dancer. Underneath she wore her tight leather pants that rested on her hips revealing her belly. Her top was a skimpy leather bra-like creation that showed off her lithe physique. She pulled her hair away from her face and tied it back with a string of leather. "Okay Garret, let's get going!" she hissed as they carefully made their way down the hall.

 

[Morgoth]

"Oh, M'Lady Vixen, I was just demandig an explanation from Ussin, you see he hasn't been telling you a fraction of the truth, but still how pleasant of you to join us", he said with a pleasant voice motioning over to the others.

 

[poohlive]

She looked so sexy and pretty. Garret couldn't help but...
He shook his head, later, he thought. Garret reached for his broadsword, then realizing it was still on a street somewhere, grabbed his longsword instead.
There, standing right in front of them, was Lokken. It had taken Garret three weeks of horse riding as fast as he could to try to get here before him, and here he was. What was this guy a god or something.
Garret didn't want that answered.
He stood there, next to Vixen, hearing what Lokken had to say. Garret didn't know if he should trust Lokken or not, besides no one else had told him the truth, why should he.
Garret decided he would let Vixen handle this. She was the person running the show, well their show at least.
"Milady," he spoke, " Your call."
He waited for a response, sword in hand.

 

[Morgoth]

"Oh, I can be trusted, Garret, unlike Ussin", Lokken answered Garret's thoughts." Also, Garret, I am an expert swordsman, but the slightest cut from my sword means death", Lokken continued.

 

[Darb]

Ussin rose from his throne, with a smile across his face.
He started laughing out loud, catching everyone by surprise. "Do you know where you are Lokken? You are in the freaking desert!!!! Oh, I forgot, Those black METAL suits of armor come with built in air conditioners don't they!" Ussin was doubled over laughing at HOW OUT OF PLACE this idiot looked.
"Rei, get a load of this guy" ussin said to his cat-man friend. "He thinks that he can do whatever he wants!" Ussin was on the floor crying tears he was laughing so loud.
He regained his composure and got back to his feet. He straightened out his garments and looked at Lokken again, but he couldn't he burst out laughing again.
"Excuse me" he said and turned around and faced the wall, "I hope you don't mind me talking to the wall, but I'm afraid this is the only way I'm going to be able to talk and keep a straight face" Ussin said chuckling again.
"Vixen, my dear, Garrett, there is nothing that I'm hiding from you. I'm going to lay all my cards on the table right now. Guards, could you hold a blanket up in front Mr. Lokken so I can turn around and talk to my friends, Thank You." he turns and looks at his friends. "My intentions are this. I'm in love with Bella, and I intend to take her back to her homeland and marry her and have a litter of kids. I wanted you to stay here tonight because this," looking at Lokken trying to peer around the blanket he began to laugh again," THING was here and he meant you harm. I admit, I used trickery to keep you safe, but I wasn't going to have it on my conscious. I'm a changed man. Bella has made her choice Lokken. She's coming with me. We are leaving in the morning to head for her homeland. I've sent for Rolando. He will be here very shortly and you two kids can role-play, err, I mean play to your hearts content...so Vixen, Garrett, Abdusalim, I'm inviting you, if you wish, to come and join Bella and I on are journey 'home'." He glanced once more at Lokken but couldn't control himself anymore and he sent himself into another round on uncontrollable, knee slapping, laughter.

 

[Roland Gilliad]

[Darb]

OOC: AYE!!!!

[Roland Gilliad]

OOC: i say AYE too! thats 2 chars who are big parts of the story line pally.

 

[Roland Gilliad]

Rei: as i flashed my Dragona Knifes out i stared eviliy at morgoth
"hey ussin dont forget about me! im tired of this two bit town and think its time for me to move on.. i already am packed for such a trip. i alwase am incase the need should suddenly arise..whadda ya say ussin? ya mind if old Rei comes along. even with Rolando coming i think this dude would probably try somthing Cheap....Like using one of his little death powers so everyone will call him a coward for not fighting like a man. in fact i have heard rolando is in this town as we speak.....i met him in the smokey genie bar a little bit ago....he should be here any minute now..."
then a clear consises voice rang out in the hall
"You Called Saddam?" they turned to find Rolando Gilliad, Hero Of Ku-Rathia Bearer of the KingStopper , and Master of the blade that was broken and forged again.
OOC:sorry for that dramatic interruption but i needed to say that

[Edited by Roland Gilliad on 07-28-2000 at 08:12 AM]

 

[Darb]

"Rei, my friend, you are certainly welcome to accompany us...if and when we go." Ussin replied looking at Bella and the other three awaiting there answers to his invitation.
"Rolando, it is good to see you, I don't mind if you come, but I think that maybe you should stay behind for awhile to see if LOKKEN is going to put up a fight. I'm sure you wouldn't mind that."

 

[Roland Gilliad]

OOC: good to be talkin with rolando again!
Ic:
Rolando: "greetings to you too ussin, i think i will come with ya. i miss rei and i think we need some catching up to do. as for tall dark and gruesome over there" motioning to Lokken
"i have already fought him and won so i dont think he is worth my trouble. he knows damn well if he tries to kill me the might of Ku-Rathia, Brimston, And The might of the 5 armies will come down upon him an they will contain him forever more in a stasis chamber that will never be opened. we will slaughter his followers and kill those dear to him. And Besides as long as I hold KingStopper he wouldnt stand a chance.so Lokken i suggest you get outa dodge before i decide to end your life here and now!"

 

[Moneytalks]

OOC:... oh thank goodness... i thought i was the only one that was getting annoyed by those posts... i mean really... i count myself as a pretty reasonable person but some people just CAN'T play right.

IC:... Vixen glanced at Garret and saw that he was sincerely leaving the choice for them both in her hands. She bit her lip, not sure if she wanted to be responsible for his life as well, but then again, he had been brave enough to come out here and warn her.

"Ussin, we... " she smiled at Garret, her eyes sparkling, "will join you... on your journey... this place has become too dangerous for me since the Prince has taken control with his armies... however I will not promise you my loyalty, that belongs to me alone, if this is acceptable... then we have a deal..."

Vixen flicked her favorite knife in the air letting is spin impressively as she threw and caught it. Clearly quite at ease with the weapon.

 

[Darb]

"I'm not asking for your loyalty, just your companionship for now. Loyalty has to be earned, and that, I believe, will happen in time my dear. Garrett, I assume that you will be joining us also?" ussin looked at the young man.
"Bella my sweet, are you to accept my humble invitation to escort you back to your home? I would be greatly honored." Ussin bowed before her lifting his hand out to her.

 

[ShyGoddess]

OOC: I'm going to try to be the voice of reason. Morgoth, I think what everyone is trying to say is that, If one character has unquestionable power, it defeats the purpose of a story. That person cannot be stopped, there is no conflict, and therefore no story. So what's the point of even doing this?



Bella:

"My dear sweet, FRIEND," she emphasized the word clearly. She didn't know how she felt about Saddam yet, but she did know that he was her friend. "I would be honored to travel with you." She turned to the rest, her innocense naivety showing, "I would be honored to travel with all of you. Such fine upstanding people. Now, If you will excuse me, I am quite tired and need to rest." She looked to Saddam waiting for him to escourt her to her rooms.

 

[Darb]

ooc: shy, the whole post about me taking you back and having a litter of children was totally for laughs not to be taken seriously, ussin has yet to reveal his true feelings to her yet...

ic:
Ussin took her hand and turned to the rest of the crowd.
"Now that the commotion is over I think that we should all get a good nights rest. We will begin the long journey in the morning." Ussin nodded at all of them. He snapped his fingers and the guards left the room that were not watching over his new friends. Ussin led Bella to the door at the back of his private chamber. He pushed it open and stepped aside so she could walk through. As she passed he place his palm on the small of her exposed back. She was so soft, delicate, innocent.
"By Allah, I will not allow a single hair on your head to be harmed. I will be on my way to meet Allah before that happens." Ussin said as he lead her down a hall lit by torches.
"You know when your brother finds out that you have left with me he will send everything he has to make sure you return." ussin said.
"I know" Bella said worried, "But I can't remain here any longer."
"My lady, here's your room." Ussin pushed open the door to reveal an immaculate, plush room. There was a large oversized King size bed with large pillows covered in white satin. There were three women that came to Bella and led her to the back part of the room where a large in ground bath had been drawn with steaming water. They began to undress her. She stopped and turned back to Ussin.
"Do you mind, friend!" she said laughing.
"MY Pardon," ussin replied and turned and walked to the balcony until she was in the water. He turned and said"Bella, I'm not sure what exactly you have heard about me, but you must rest assured, I have nothing but the purest intentions toward you and your friends. I know that we don't know each other very well but I feel a connection with you. As though...I'm not sure, but I know that I'm not going to let you out of my sight. You are special, and I feel a need to protect you. So I tonite, I will stay here with you...not in your bed, but I will be here." With that Ussin began to undo the wrappings that were around his head. He let his Jet black hair fall down his back. He removed his upper garment and left Bella to bathe as he went and stood back on the balcony.

 

[Morgoth]

OOC:
Look, I would be happy if the great one, Roland, the all powerful, sacred and immortal, unkillable and undisputed, would quit controlling my characters, that really pisses me off, my characters are mine, so I do believe it gives me the right to control them, secondly, everyone is getting Lokken all wrong, his intentions are peaceful, he just has the blood lust seizing him. Can no one see that? All he asked was if Bella wanted to journey with him, but no, the great Roland, controller of characters, says Lokken will be back. Look, he doesn't care. If she didn't want to, he's not going to make her. He's going to go to the prince and get his orb back, okay? And when have Roland and Lokken even dueled, tell me one example. I do believe Roland the great is unstoppable and would kill Lokken on their first duel. And what's your problem, Darb? He asked the lady if she wanted to join him because she's European and you laugh at him, what you want a war? Taros is known as the hidden nation for a reason. Nobody knows where it is! It's protected by Belial, the God of Death. And almost every European power is allied with Taros, it leading in military and economy, not population. You don't want to fight a war with these boys. And yes, he'll do what ever he damn well wants to do, he's not that powerful, not as powerful as Roland the almighty whom all must worship because he controls their characters, now is he. But he won't kill Ussin, because he is a gentleman of his word. Look, his gaurd are here only to make sure he gets the orb, but after that they are officially gone. Now maybe, Roland, if you quit controlling my characters, we could get along, do you see me telling you that suddenly Rei fell from the rafters only to get attacked by 30 billion gaurds or that when Vixen told him that they didn't need his help, he said I'll be back you bitches, and this time i'll make you accept me.
And what exactly is a good character, one like yours, who rises to become a near god in the end by controlling other people's characters, is that your idea?

IC:
"I am a man of my word, my good people(aside from some of you who just can't hold their tongue), so I shall leave, but I will scout the road to check on you and I will send a demon back relaying what I have found", Lokken told them, casting another evil glance in the direction of Rei, Rolando, and Ussin.
