The Power

Cpt Straybu

The shock that went through the ground was violent enough to tumble his riding-beast, and throw Straybu from his saddle. Swearing and cursing at this, Straybu stood up dusting himself off.

"Damn that man to the Seven Shadelands!", Straybu swore out loud, "I'll strangle him myself!"

"STRAYBU!"

Hearing the loud magically-enhanced yell, Straybu instantly recognized the harsh voice of the Grand Vizier. The only man it was said, who could look upon the naked Sorceror-Queen without punishment, any time he saw her. Many said that her beauty was unearthly, magically improved upon. Straybu didn't know; he'd never met the Queen, and if he did, he hoped to the Gods that he was well-blindfolded at the time.

Straybu turned and bowed deeply toward Sluavan Drazir, the Grand Vizier and old-trusted friend/ally of the late Sorceror-King, and a distant uncle of the Sorceror-Queen, Lashri. It was well to be polite to the Grand Vizier.

"Yes, my lord Grand Vizier", Straybu replied in a calm voice. He respected Sluavan Drazir from long experience; he was a man of such a clever & ruthless nature that Straybu found much to admire in him.

"Captain", said Sluavan, coming towards him, "I will require your services." Straybu began to speak, but the Grand Vizier cut him off. "Never mind that. How would you like to be a General, or even a Baron or Duke. Well, have I got the proposition for you", said Sluavan, throwing his arm about his old soldier and friend.

Straybu

Well now, things were certainly looking up the world, Straybu thought.

"My lord Grand Vizier, you honor me!", Straybu replied, "I am at your command at all times, of course."

Straybu bowed again deeply. To earn such a title as Grand Vizier, Sluavan Drazir was offering, would likely entail great risk. That meant it was going to involve lots of killing, and be a lot of fun.

 

[Angelus]

Before the girl could say anything Jonas turned and ran away from where she still lay, straight into what was left of the forest. He didn't look back as he ran because he didn't want to remember what he had done there. As he ran he started cursing himself for losing his self control, he knew what happened everytime he did that.

Part of him however wanted to stop and run back to where those soldiers were, he wanted them to take him with them. He wanted this life to be over- to never have to live in fear that he would lose control again and destroy someone or something.

He shook his head and knew that if he did go back that he would be killed before he could say a word. He continued to run harder until his lungs started burning from the lack of breath. He stopped and looked around then ran straight into some bushes, crouched down in them and waited for whatever was going to happen next.

Nine cursed softly when she saw the man run off. Climbing to her feet she brushed herself off. She wasn't hurt or afraid.. instead she was even more intrigued. Obviously this power was new to the man. Where had it come from? She glanced around searching for the man. She sighed softly she began thinking of a way to find him. She could try a lost and found spell but her magic always seemed to go arry. Knowing her luck she would end up finding something better left lost. Well it was that or give up and Nina was never a quitter. CLosing her eyes she took a deep breath and concentrated on the image of the man she saw. Then she spoke the required words softly. As soon as the spell was finished a small ball of light appeared in front of her. "Lead me to the man" she said to the light and the light sped off into the remaining woods. Nina hurried after the light hoping it wasn't leading her into more trouble then she could handle.
