Diablo 2(for the uninitiated, there will be, once again, guidelines)

[Ravenloft]

Eliah:

"Oh... Alic..." There was an emence longing in her voice as her hand suddenly rested along Alic's cheek. Her breathing was noticabbly uneven. Her crystal blue eyes caught hold of his and the longing in her voice was echoed by her eyes. she quickly turned them away from his though... How could she dare to profane his holy heart in such a manner? It was wrong...

 

[Angelus]

Alic turned to look at Eliah's eyes and saw that there were tears beginning to form in them. He wanted nothing more than to take her into his arms and tell her that everything was alright as he wanted it to be but he didn't know what she thought of him doing that. He reached forward and ran one hand down her cheek and said in a voice that was softer than anything he had ever heard from anyone before, "Eliah- I am hoping that you are not thinking that what you did was wrong because that is far from the truth. If it is because I am a paladin it does not mean that I am not a human and do not have feelings- feelings that I have been trying to express but never knowing how."

 

[Ravenloft]

Eliah:

"Oh Alic..." Eliah suddenly layed her head against his chest. Her breath was eratic, shaky... Almost sobs. She had never succombed to another like this in her life... He was both powerful and caring, she had never known such, and her heart quickened as she cried openly against his chest, she didn't understand it... How could she be so open... Showing such, as she had been taught from the youngest of ages, weekness as tears... Erational tears at that... Her stomach knotted with the duality of her sorrowful release, mixed with her fear of showing such weakness and she began to pull away, gasping.

 

[Angelus]

Alic felt Eliah began to move away and started to move to wrap his arms around her but he knew that he had to make her own decision. He looked into her eyes and saw the conflicting emotions there and tried to think of what she was going through but knew that he couldn't as he didn't have to go through what she was going through at the moment. He wanted nothing more than to have her with him but the one thought that was passing through his mind was, never force her- let her make up her own decision.
He looked at her and said, "Eliah, I would like nothing more than to have you with me and I....I-"

 

[Ravenloft]

Eliah:

With her head rested against Alic's chest still, his soft words calmed her sobbing. "I would be with you Alic... If you want me..." She breathed as she rubbed her damp, flushed cheeks against his chest to turn her eyes up toward his. Her lips were parted and her soft sweet breath drifted over Alic's face.

 

[Lady_Siren]

Siren tossed and turn continuously. She cried out in her sleep tears running down her face as she once again relived the horror of what happened back home. "I didn't mean it, it was an accident" she murmured. Suddenly she sat strait up looking around realizing it was only a dream. Knowing she couldn't sleep and got up and dot dressed and exited her tent. She walked through the Rogue camp lost in thought. She couldn't seem to get the images of what happened out of her head. "It was all my fault" she said softly "if only I hadn't been so careless" she gazed at the night sky preying that she wouldn't screw up like that again. She now had a second chance and this time she wouldn't let anyone take it away.

 

[Morgoth]

Morgoth growled as he saw that Thorr would not be waking up soon. He walked outside, irritated at his insomnia. He ronded a tent and suddenly bumped into Orenda, sending them both sprawling on the ground. Morgoth stood up and dusted himself off, then reached out his hand to help Orenda.

 

[Isolde]

Orenda

Orenda accepted the helping hand and brushed herself off when she was on her feet. "Looks like I am not the only one to not be able to sleep," Actually she was refusing to sleep after what she had seen with Eliah but she preferred not to mention that.

"I was headed toward the tavern, care to join me? I hate to drink alone. Company would be much appreciated."

 

[Angelus]

"Of course I would have you Eliah. There is no other person that I would care to share my heart with."
Alic took Eliah into his arms and felt a warmth building within him. Something about sitting here with Eliah resting her head on his chest felt so right that if he could he wanted to ask his goddess to stop time there and then.

 

[Morgoth]

"Me too actually. I am not going to be sleeping for a while now. My brain is on the time in Kurast, I believe", said Morgoth. Together they set off for the tavern.

 

[Lady_Siren]

Siren continued to stare at the night sky sorting out her emotions and fighting back memories. Memories of another life. She sighed softly and stretched before heading to the tavern. Maybe a good stiff drink would help clear her head. She entered the tavern and headed for a vacant table. She sat and crossed her slender legs. She ordered herself a drink and sat there quietly sipping it. She heard the tavern door open and looked up to see Morgoth and Orenda enter together. She wondered why they were still awake. Hesitating for only a moment Siren stood up and approached them. "hello"

 

[Neale]

Thorr

SNNNOOOOOORRRRE....SSSSNNNNNOOOOORRRRRRE

OOC:Just had to put the guy to sleep, didn't cha, Morgoth. Sigh. A perfectly good opportunity to wreak havoc in a tavern, and Thorr's sleeping right through it! Guess he does need his beauty sleep, after all, he's a growing boy...

 

[Morgoth]

OOC: Neale: Thorr can always wake up.

 

[Ravenloft]

Eliah:

Eliah pressed her lips to Alic's once more with a throaty sound of need. Her hands clasped around his shoulders as she pushed herself against his form.

 

[Neale]

Thorr

SNNOORRRR... HRKK! URGHGGHHGKKKK! HHONKK

Something had disturbed Thorr's slumber. Somewhere, someone close to him had said something very important... Thorr woke with a start, one word stuck in his brain... Tavern!

 

[Angelus]

Alic felt Eliah's lips on his own and held her close, not wanting to let her go in fear that this was the best dream that he was now having and to let her go now would cause himself to wake up. He then heard some footsteps and looked to see Thorr walked towards the tavern and realized this was no dream and he kissed Eliah with passion.

 

[Ravenloft]

Eliah:

Feeling the growing passion in Alic's kiss, Eliah yield to it with a small moan. She heard the tromping foot steps too but to her they were distant. A heat ran through her body, her breathing shook ever so slightly. She would give herself to Alic right here, under the cool shade of this mighty tree. Her slim hand ran up along the back of Alic's neck and gently into his hair, seeking to draw him further into their kiss, A soft whaft of her breath tickled along his cheek as she did so.

 

[Angelus]

Alic felt Eliah's breath on his cheek and knew that this was where he belonged, with her under this tree. He didn't care anymore where everyone else was as there was only one person that was foremost in his mind and that was Eliah. He wanted to be with her more than anything. He returned the kiss, bringing every emotion that he had for her to the surface and realizing how much he felt for her.

 

[Ravenloft]

Eliah:

The emotion between them was so strong, Eliah pressed closer to Alic, her breasts warm and round against his flat, powerful chest. Her mouth opened against his and her tongue gently sought to share the deepests of kisses with him.

 

[Isolde]

Orenda

Orenda greeted Siren with a smile. "Looks like we're not the only ones who cant sleep. Join us for a drink? I am not too anxious to let my mind be up for capture by our dark lady nor am I completely comfortable with the mission for tommorow. Fact is, I'm scared to death."

Looking around the tavern, I give a small laugh,"I would have thought our barbarian friend would be here also. I wouldnt think he was one to miss an opportunity for his beloved ale." My laughter increased as I said,"Must be the fact that there are no available virgins around."

The laughter helped to ease my unease at tommorow's quest and I sauntered over to one of the tables and sat down, ordering a mug of ale for myself.

 

[Morgoth]

Morgoth sat down and ordered an ale.

 

[Lady_Siren]

Siren smiled at Orenda "Don't feel bad I to am nervous about tomorrow. I have heard of this Dark Lady and have heard of what she can do. Truthfully I don't fear for my life but my soul" She shrugged as she they sat down at a table. Siren ordered another drink and began to realize just how terrified she actually was.

 

[Neale]

Thorr

Thorr stomped into the tavern, a happy grin on his face. The bartender had gotten to know the barbarian very well over the past few years, and offered no objection as Thorr stepped behind the bar, and picked up a small keg of ale. Looking around, Thorr spotted his friends, who were strangely ducking down in their chairs.

"Hokay! Thorr's gang here! We drink now!" Matching deed to word, his mighty fist punched the top of the small keg in. Lifting the entire keg to his lips, he drained an amazing amount from it in one long draught. "Oy! Barman! Bring ale for Thorr's friends!"

The massive warrior sat down on a broad bench near them. "This hokay place. Maybe we get lucky, and ogres come in to drink, too. They fun to drink with! Always start fight." Thorr grins happily, "Thorr finish."

 

[Isolde]

Orenda

Orenda looked up at Thorr as he guzzled down his drink. Her eyebrows raised and she shook her head. "Have a seat, big guy,"She said before turning back to Morgoth and Siren.

"So, any thoughts on how tomorrow with this dark knight will go. If he is as powerful in his dark magic as Alec is in his light than I am afraid we will have a hard go of it."

"Not that I am thinking of pulling out,"She added hastily,"But I think it best we are prepared."

 

[Neale]

Thorr

Thorr sat down beside the lovely Orenda, and put his arm around her, strangely gentle for him.

"'S hokay, 'Renda! Thorr pull off bad guy's arm and beat him over head with it. No bad magic with no arm, hokay? Good Thorr here to make plan!"
