Strange Land (Take 2)

[Nyte]

OH HOLY SHIT!! nyte noticed his eyes and the sycthe. she knew what this meant. she continued to swear in enough languages that was even topping vixen.

 

[Roland Gilliad]

OOC: sorry. i thought there were two. i will figure somthing out.
IC: Zeratul: i better check my belt...what! THE BLADE IS GONE!!! shit..... I RAN AS FAST AS I COULD TO THE Cell to find it Empty...."NO!!!! i cried out

 

[Morgoth]

Two incredibly large dragon/humans appeared, the Dragon kings. Each weilded a gargantuan sword and shield and had on armor. Suddenly the entire sky was filled with Great Fire Drakes. Then a Trasque appeared(15 foot tall demon who can bring down enormous fire storms or use his 4 foot claws) and began his fire storm. The sky suddenly filled with fire and fireballs. One of these hit Aric directly in the chest, sending him sprawling." Great, all we need now is an aqua(actually it's acid) dragon and Draco(the Ice dragon)", Joreth muttered.

 

[Nyte]

OOC: what is with all these indistructable characters? theyre not gods or invincible yknow

 

[Morgoth]

OOC: Yeah, I know. It's just right now, why don't you take Joreth's advice and get in the Shroud, k? The characters are actually bosses from different games I play. I have beaten them, so I do know they're weaknesses(which will be revealed). So just bear with me.

 

[Nyte]

ooc:: well some of perfer to run with our own characters instead of following a set thing like that....arics phase right now is a very interesting plot twist that can be worked with easier then killer dragons from hell that cannot die

 

[Morgoth]

OOC: Trust me they can die. Now in the story I mentioned a legend. If you hear it, it might help just a little bit.

 

[Brenna]

She's Baaaack

::Off in the distance coming in with the Hellkite and another flare of dragons a tune can be heard, everyone on the ground strains to listen, the fire balls cease... what is that? Where have they heard it before? As the tune grows louder it can be identified as the earth song..Ride of the Valkeries. They each look to the other in confusion save for Aric, his red eyes glowing in anticipation of the battle, but is there truly to be one? The Hellkite glides in and lands shaking the ground with its massive form but still some distance from them. A lone figure laughing in delight slips from her perch, and to them all she says:: Thank you so much for all your help. I don't know how I would have gotten free if it wasn't for you, my fellow fire eaters. :: beams at them:: You have been too kind. And that music! :: laughs again:: That was priceless. Come and meet my mates and friends :: she turns and walks toward Aric and Nyte and the rest of their group, waving at them as she comes. It's easy to see she is in beaming good health, her fire elemental so strong her red hair resembles flames more than hair at times, two blazing roses tucked into her hair, she calls out to her companions as she get nearer:: Nyte! Aric! Are ya'll OK? Aric Tairwyne, what kept you and Nyte from coming for me? I swear if I didn't know better... :: scolding her lover for his tardiness in his rescue she finally gets within range to see them clearly and takes in the scythe and the glowing red eyes, she stop mid scold and exclaims:: HOLY SHIT! :: Then Joreth's nerve breaks from being so close to so many "monsters" and charges the nearest dragon stabbing it with his blade. The drake rears back roaring in pain and fury as the blade finds a chink it its scales. The dragon swoops down and snaps up Joreth, swallowing him in a single bite, and Nyte comments dryly:: That's going to give him indigestion. : the other dragons roar and attack seeing their compatriot attack and Aric with a cry of delighted fury jumps into the fray slicing though limb and bone with his deadly scythe. The Hellkite roars in command, and the dragons take to wing retreating out of reach. Aric growls at the loss of his battle and turns to Bre and Nyte where they took cover, eyes still glowing crimson. The women stand and gaze at him in trepidation. Bre gulps and says weakly:: Hi Aric... :: he gives a nasty smirk in response and strides towards them. Nyte and Bre are in confusion if they should run or stay and clutch each other's hand. The choice is taken from them as a brave drake, thinking he is recusing Bre from a betrayal and harm swoops down and grabs her getting Nyte as well. The dragon pumps his wings furiously and the flare of dragons in the sky winging away from the travelers on the ground. In the distance in unison a scream can be heard:: AAAARIC!!! GET US OUT OF THIS!!! ::and of course a smirk crosses his face hearing it::

Garret crouched as he saw the swarm of dragons. This was more than he had expected. All he wanted to kill was one, to prove his manhood in his village.
Garret took his fathers broadsword in hand, and sprinted to one of the monsters. He let out an evil war cry. There were others, he could see, but paid no attention, he charged at the dragon.
The dragon saw him, and, diving low, readied his arms for an attack. Garret suddenly realized this was 4 to one, he only had one sword, against all of those claws.
Garret let out a deep groan, seeing the flaw in his plans, abruptly turned around and ran the other way. He caught up to the group of people, and carefully his behind a rock.
Garret wasn't a coward, but he knew when the odds were bad.
He quickly took off his bow, and loaded it.
He aimed up high, pointing at the head of a bigger one.
"Stop, " a voice said, Garret looked.

 

[Moneytalks]

Vixen had seen everything. She didn't believe all of it... but she couldn't deny she had seen it. The dragons... the strange fire wowman... Aric looking like the legendary Death himself... then dragons flying off with Nyte and the fire woman... and now... now a man hiding behind a rock attempting to shoot an arrow.

"Stop!" Sith said. Vixen raised a brow, she didn't really want to hear what Sith had to say. She was already confused enough, let the poor man listen she thought. Joreth had been eaten. Eaten whole by a drake. Aric still looked evil. Vixen did the only thing she could to make herself feel better. She walked up to Aric and punched him in the arm. His eyes glowered at her. "Stop DOING that!" Vixen ordered... "you're freaking me out!"
His grin was pure wicked. Vixen scowled back at him...

 

[Nyte]

::nyte bitched at bre, still in the dragon's grasp. she knew she wasnt in any real danger but still being that close to a fire breather was a tad too much for comfort. Nyte glanced back towards where the others wore, just in time to see vixen punch aric. she knew that punch was a suicide wish right there knowing aric in that state::

::nyte squirmed right out of the dragon's grasp and started to freefall shifting at once into a beautiful hawk. nyte soared past vixen, pushing her back with her talons. She circled and swooped down near aric, grabbing both her shadow blade and arics silver rapier from him. better not to give him any weapons of nasty death to what was commonly noted as Evil Aric, or his lesser liked self::

::in the mist of nytes swooping she failed to notice garrett hiding behind the rock, his arrow poised::

 

[Aric_Tairwyne]

::barely noticing that punch in the arm, the movement in pure reflex following sending a foot to her sternum, knocking her straight back:: Now that wasn't nice. ::he wagged a finger at her, grinnning all the while:: Didn't anyone tell you not to toy with Messengers of Death? ::gives her an overdramatic pout with a tilt to his head::
Now stay here and play nice... I have a little matter of a bill... ::motioning to his scorched shirt:: to gain redemption for. ::smirking again he turns and jumps up, following the dragon, scythe trailing in tow::

 

[Moneytalks]

Vixen groaned... doubled over in pain. What the FUCK was that!? She watched... what she'd thought... hoped was Aric move. She was really pissed now. Struggling to her feet she leaned against the rockface she'd been kicked into. She blinked... thinking she was seeing things. A hawk? Out here? Holding... swords? Oh boy... maybe she'd been kicked harder than she thought? She frowned and squinted... watching again... nope... definitely a hawk. Vixen didn't notice Garret poised to fire his arrow either.

She flung off Sith's cloak, and the dirty shirt she'd appropriated and stood naked, feet slightly spread apart. She raised her arms and sang out the song she had learnt so long ago. The song to the Goddess of Light. She felt the energy filling her slowly, it came in from the ground through her feet, from the air itself through her fingertips... she tingled with it... she kept chanting... filling herself... more than she'd ever dared to before. The power near hummed in her, thrumming in time to her own heartbeat. Gasping she opened her eyes. They glowed an eery blue. "Enehrughi... " she muttered she felt the turmoil of the power inside of her. She attempted to harness it, but she'd never tried to harness this much before... a massive charge of magickal energy shot out of her chest... it spiraled and crackled like a huge bolt of barely contained lightning. She screamed as the sound of the energy release filled her mind. The bolt aimed for no one in particular it seemed... Aric barely moved aside in time... the charge glancing his shoulder... searing his clothing along one arm. The charge found it's mark... it hit the largest of the dragons... as it entered the great body... the energy passed on to those nearest him. By this stage Vixen had fallen to her knees gasping desperately for breath. She glanced up, her head heavy as she watched the destruction her outburst would cause. Sith came forward to cover Vixen's body again with his cloak. She didn't look at him. She stood shakily.

"If I ever see that... Aric again... I owe him a kick in the family jewels."
Sith almost smiled... "hmmm, well I shall endeavor to remind you of that"
Vixen nodded in agreement that he should. She looked over at Garret. "Who... is that?... and what is he...?" Sith looked over at Garret in surprise as Garret let his arrow fly. It whizzed through the air, straight and true. Vixen heard the screeching cry of an animal wounded and watched in facsinated horror as a few feathers fell, along with a solid small shape... the hawk... it fell with a sickening thud to the ground. Sith ran after Garret who was running to pick up his catch. Vixen sank to her knees again, trying to regain her energy.

 

[Aric_Tairwyne]

::growling, the stike stinging quite a bit, though he will not be deprived, still charging up he swung that scythe hard, he grinned at the hearty crack of bone and tear of flesh as the head severed and fell, a spin about and he embedded the blade into its chest, a grunt as he twisted, tugging it over and falling back down to the mountaintop...::

::the burst of snow fantastic as the body of the dragon hit the ground, white covering the whole of the impact, steam sizzling up from the heat of that dragon's blood, the head not far from it... slowly the cover filters down to leave the vision of a panting Aric holding the blade down into the dead dragon... a moment's pause before he tilts to the side, falling then, tumbling down unconcious off the dragon, the scythe that had been in the dragon vanishing like vapor::

 

[Morgoth]

A sword erupted through the dragon's stomach and Joreth climbed out."Damb dragons, never can tell when they are going to do that. Now does anyone want to hear that legend?" he asked.

 

[poohlive]

Garret went over to the fallen dragon, but looked in horror as it turned out to be a giant hawk.
"The sky is covered with freakin dragons, and you hit the one eagle. Way to go Garret, now you will get to be a man REAL soon."
Garret cursed himself, taking the arrow out, it didn't seem to hit anywhere bad, just in the shoulder, the wing itself looked able to move. Garret looked down at the creature hoping it was all right.
Then, Garret looked on in amazement as the hawk changed. Slowly but surely it changed into a human being, a regular old human being, that was bleeding from the shoulder.
Garret looked in amazement, "what sort of magic is this?"
The woman looked back at him, "You got some sort of bandage?"
Garret immediately opened his pack, revealing a strip of cloth. He watched as the woman dressed the wound.
She stood up, looking as fine as ever, no trace of bird on her.
Garret was shocked, he didn't know what to say, or do.


OOC: Sorry Nyte, my first time working with you, won't happen again. I assure you, I hope I didn't set us off on the wrong foot either, you are a good poster, and a remarkable WOMAN (girl, of the female kind) Thanks. Gary

Man?? nyte is a woman!

 

[Nyte]

::nyte stood, holding her hurt shoulder close to her body, give a nasty glare at the hunter who shot her. though she could heal the wound rather quickly, it would take strength and strength would require blood that she couldnt afford to lose...esp seeing how the only one she would feed off there is evil now::

::she glanced over to Joreth then back at the ::blink:: naked vixen;: Indigestion? ::she said nodding towards joreth. she ignored garret's attempts to appologize for shooting her and tries to make ammends. she was pissed. that was the first time shes ever been shot in any other form other then her human one::

::she edged closer to aric, seeing him crumpled on the ground, looking up to the sky for bre and the other dragon. She sighed, pulling out her shadow blade. on second thought, she put it back, pulling out arics holy rapier, holding it in her left hand and giving him a good poke in the back:: Yo asshole you dead?

 

[Morgoth]

OOC: Is everyone ignoring me? I cut through a dragon and ask if anyone wants to hear the legend? And none pays any mind.

 

[Aric_Tairwyne]

::gives a slight groan from the prod, but is otherwise still, the wound on his shoulder still smouldering a bit... it appears he is out of it for a while now::

 

[Nyte]

:nyte kicked aric over, nailing the tip of her boot into his rib, placing the tip of the sword to his throat:: This is for last time asshole....::she growled::

 

[Roland Gilliad]

Zeratul:
"You think all this illusion will work my Leige?"
a strange voice
"Yes they dont have a clue. It will all fall into place very soon , and then zeratul you will be rewarded. now go and Be that witch you are best at"
"yes My Leige."
Zeratul bows to the evil looking shadow and Abruptly turns into a Elf
"is this appropriate my leige?"

"Yesss, exelent, you have done well, not even i can detect you are an illusion."
(Note this is for a reason, this is to increase suspense and allow me to not have to write with Roland.So this means NOONE can detect im an illusion unless i allow them to.)
"I am off my Leige! i will return with Sith and the Elemental for you!"
Zeratul quickly dissapears into the darkness and re-appears near all of the adventurers
"Hail Humans!"
I yell to them and turn a few heads

 

[Brenna]

::Brenna beats at the claw holding her and thinks at the dragon:: Will you put me down?!? I need to be back there not be dragged off again. I thank you for your help but please take me BACK! ::the great best banks and flys back over the group but high up and casually drops her and she screams as she falls. Just before she hits the ground she slows to land softly:: Ok that was... odd. ::thinks to the dragon winging away:: Thank you! ::she walks over to where Nyte is poking Aric with is sword:: Give me that! ::takes it from her:: you are going to skewer him with that! ::bends down:: Aric? Are you ok? :: pushes the hair from his eyes::

Vixen had recovered mostly from her spell, she was a little shaky. She wrapped the cloak around herself and frowned. She ignored the two women standing over Aric. She didn't care that he was obviously possessed at the time. That kick had hurt damn it. She looked around for the shirt she had dropped. Finding it she tore a long strip and tied it around her waist making a make-shift dress of sorts with the cloak. Sith looked at it with a raised brow. She sniffed, flicked her hair out and pouted. "Don't say anything..." she warned threateningly. Sith raised his hands as if to say he meant nothing. She turned away and they both aproached Brenna, Nyte, Garret and the fallen Aric.

"What's up with him then?" Vixen asked, showing polite interest if not outright concern.

 

[Brenna]

::glances up at the barly dressed woman:: He's recovering. He should wake up soon and be fine. Just don't ever get in his way if his eyes flash crimson. It's a bad thing. :: puts some medicine on his burnt shoulder from her belt pouch to help with his burn and tosses Nyte a green mango, figuring she needs it::
