The School of Magery

[poohlive]

Ooc: No problem. We came to a good stopping point anyway. Thanks for walking with me.

At the town Joach finally said his goodbyes to the man. He couldn't really remember his name, but found it better this way. The man had something about him, something that Joach didn't like, but found himself drawn too. Power, perhaps, but whatever it was, it was big.
Joach looked over at Froggie, "Shall we try to get some work?"
The frog nodded, catching a fly on his tongue.
"That's all and good for you, but I need something a little more nurishing."
Joach walked into several stores, but none of them needed a helping hand, finally a bakery gave him a good job.
"You are going to deliver the bread around the village and some neighboring places."
Joach loved the idea, the smell of baking bread in the background added to this.
"Come on now, your first delivery is to old lady Watters. She lives on the far side of town in a weathered cottage. Hurry up."
The man handed Joach a bag of bread. In a flash Joach was out of the store and running toward the other side of the village.

(ooc. Who am I still working with? Cause my twists and such aren't drawing anyone but Pooh...well at least that is how it seems. I need to figure out what to do....my destiny was not to be a thread starter. But anyways. There will be a big post later on...)

 

[Neale]

OOC:

OOC: Sorry, Lav... I'm not exactly sure at the moment what to post. Between the battle(?) between Incrast and nightray's guy and what pooh is up to in the forest, plus the other assorted characters doing their thing... I'm comfoozelated. As far as I know, my student mage is watching Incrast, Boriana is out cold from knocking out the dragon, and Angus is bitching about the damage to his lawn. Once I get a better handle on just what is going on, I'll post.

 

[Silen]

OOC: Yep, I'm confused too. Silen's still writhing on the floor and his magical call for aid went unheeded. Got the feeling that he's gonna go *poof* in this thread, just like the one in 'Dark One Has Returned'...

 

[poohlive]

Ooc: I have been trying to see a pattern in your failed threads Lava, but I can't. They are all good threads, just have been dying for bad reasons. I am sorry about that. I am still doing my best to stay in here though, and always do love a good plot twist.

Joach ran back to the bakery with the sack of money in hand. The man grabbed it, counted out the coins and nodded.
"What time is it?"
Joach thought for a minute, "About noon, I suppose."
He nodded, "The school just outside of town gets their lunch about this time. It's a heavy load, so I need you to take my horse out back. You know how to ride a horse, don't you."
"Of course," he lied.
"Good," the man placed a huge burlap sack on the counter, "There's also a little lunch for you, after your finished."
Joach smiled taking the burlap sack outside. The horse was saddled up and ready to go, with a little bit of confusion, he finally got on the thing.
It was a good horse, who knew how to ride well, but Joach still had a hard time with it. He stopped when he wanted to go, almost fell off twice, and was an inch away from running into five trees. After a while, though, he did get the hang of it. The horse did most of the work.
Joach looked at the school, didn't look like anything he had ever seen before. It looked more like a nunnery than a church. The people there weren't particularly young, well not as young as he, but they seemed too old for school. What kind of school was this?
An explosion rocked the ground around him. Joach clumsily fell off the horse. He used his hands to brace himself, but had forgotten about the bread. He landed in a soft heap under it. The bread was mashed and horrible. Joach winced.
He saw smoke coming from the back of the school. Something must be on fire, he had to help. Joach ran to see what he could do.

Arha

Within moments, The school disappeared, and our journey, which was once inside, was now outside on the lush green grass.

The dragons were everywhere. They took to the sky as everyone from the school was transported outside.

The beasts stayed in flight above me, casting a shadow upon me.

I looked around. Mages and students from the building were transported there.

Then, in the wind, I heard it…I looked around, everyone just looked bewildered.

“Do you hear that?” The people looked at me oddly.

I yelled it louder, “DO YOU HEAR THAT?”

Somewhere from the group of mages, teachers, students, and wizards, a voice came and said “You are crazy, there is nothing but your foul mouth.”

That is when it came again, “the Labyrinth, go there.” The voice hissed.

All I could hear was the beating of the dragon’s wings and that voice. “THE LABYRINTH….THE LABYRINTH, you must go….the book…is gone….hurry….milady hurry…” The voice was so faint I could barely hear it.

I didn’t notice that in all my thinking I had started fires in the shape of a circle around me. The people were staring at me.

“The labyrinth?” I said, my voice shaking.

“The book? What book? I don’t understand!” The voice kept repeating it over and over again.

That is when I saw the dragon overhead, the largest of the group swoop down, circling and stand before me, it’s majestic head bowed in front of me.

“Milady…” It hissed.

I almost fainted. It was speaking to ME.

“The book, I have been a fool, I left it, but I had to follow you, why, I don’t know…The labyrinth, you can find it, we can help you….You must get it back…”

I looked around. The flames around me, in circular shapes began to dance.

“The book,” I said, no one seemed to be able to understand THIS particular dragon.

Timidly I touched it’s face, “They can’t understand you…”

The thing pushed at my hand and flew upwards, circling me.

“I am going crazy…” I mumbled, “He says that there is a book….book of words? Someone took it…”

“Labyrinth…what is it?” I asked….

(ooc…well take this however you want, but we are all in the same spot now….so that is a start, we can all adventure into the labyrinth and make up our own versions of what happens to us. )

Joach expected a fire, perhaps even some bandits who were looking for a few pieces of gold to steal, but he never imagined what he could find.
Dragons. Hundreds of them, thousands of them. The sky was filled with the wings and bodies of dragons. His jaw dropped open. He stopped dead in his tracks, looking up in the sky.
Dragons were everywhere.
Large ones, small ones, ones with wings, and ones without. They all were doing something different. Joach fell down to his knees, looking at it all. He couldn't help but feel so small and frightened. He couldn't even move. His entire body froze up looking at the sight of these.
Somewhere in the background he heard a hysterical woman shouting about books and labrynth's, but it didn't get through to him. He just stared at the sky.

i walked up beside joach."Whats the matter my friend"i asked and all he did was point up."o ****"i said as i went and leaned against a tree."The book is gone and i must go to the labrynth."Seeing that joach was still frightened i went and dragged him out of there sight."come with me?"I asked out of breath.

Joach lost sight of the dragons, for the moment at least. Most of them had flown away, however. He looked at this new man with a sudden haste.
"Calm down," he said, pulling his arm away from the man, "Look, there might still be people inside of there. They need help, and I doubt some book will do the trick."
Talking of books when people's lives were in danger. What a silly silly....
blue man?
Joach looked at him carefully, big and blue was the only way to describe him. Just a big blue blueberry with a blue robe. Well, that didn't make any sense, but from what he had seen today nothing made much sense of anything anymore. He shook the thoughts from his head.

 

[silverwolf]

sorian

"Come if we are to help anyone at all.That book is important as to the safety of us all" i said hastily.

 

[poohlive]

Joach though the blue man to be crazy. Oh no, that must be what happened. In the school was an accident, a blue explosion happened. This man must have been the one who did it, and was now blue. He was simply muttering incoherent sentences about books and things.
Joach pitied the poor man.
"There there," he said patting the man's blue arm. For a minute he thought it might by contagious, but shook it away. Whatever it was, it was already in the poor blue man's mind.
"We'll go find the book and save whatever village you want," he began walking around the little path on his tippy toes.
"Oh look, there's the book. I see it," he stared off at a stump. He patted the air a few inches above it.
"Well, here it is. The book that saves everyone," he picked up nothing and handed it to the blue man.
"There, do we feel better now?"
He hoped the poor thing would believe it. A crazy man had a weird mindset, if something set him off then he might do something horrible. Like kill him.
Joach took a step back for good measure.

 

[LAVA GODDESSS]

pooh...lol

(you can't just take the book silly....lol)


Arha:

Screaming, I lost patience, "Be gone fire breathers." With that, they took to the sky.

I saw before me, a man, blue in color and a few others. "Where is this labyrinth?"

I needed to help them fix whatever I did, then I would have to get the hell outta there and find some way to lock myself up where I couldn't harm anyone.

 

[silverwolf]

turning twoard the new voice."I know not but i must find it .If you have any inkling of where it is tell me please and if you looking for it then may i accompany you.it seems i can find noo intellegent company."I said jesturing twoard joach."Though i have heard rumors that it is"i said jesturing" this way which is where i was going to go unless i find out something else

 

[poohlive]

Ooc: I didn't take the book, I was just playing with him.


Joach gave the man a hard stare. It was obvious he had missed something. Too bad inteligence couldn't explain a situation before trying to run off for a quest. For all he knew the man was crazy.
Some people weren't very oriented.
"Listen," he said,"I came here assuming that there were people being hurt. If there isn't, I'm going back to work. Good day madam.
He gave the blue man another cold stare, "Learn english."
Joach hated ignorant people, and wanted nothing more to do with him, especially since it was him who caused the explosion.

 

[Morgoth]

OOC: Actually, Neale, Incrast woke Borianna up and teleported Louis down nearby.

Incrast snapped his head up, truly maddened. Let those idiots think he had broken bones! He stood up now. "When I say you are down, you are DOWN!!" he roared, flinging a huge lightning bolt. It hit them both, and they fell to the ground. He motioned his palm downward, and they both lay flat on the ground, unable to speak or move or even gather their energy. "Now listen to me, you little whelps!" he shouted angrily. "You will listen to your superiors in magic!" he roared. He began to pull the air apart. And to Wing and Wind Dancer, it seemed as if a supernatural force was ripping them apart. Incrast stopped it a little later, and jerked his hand. Purple, unbreakable coils wrapped around the two, and picked them up into the air. "Now, Louis, what would you, with my extensive library of spells, now do?" he asked Louis, who stood not too far away.

 

[Neale]

Louis Malvox

Louis thought for a split second, "Perhaps the Arcanus Ennervatus, master? That ought to leave them too weak for further mischief until it wears off."

 

[Morgoth]

OOC: Nightray, maybe you could tone your character's power a little down. I mean, he's a boy, a good one, but a boy nonetheless, and Incrast is a master mage, hundreds of years old and very powerful. Also, the helm was brought in only to teah your characters a little humility and obedience.

"Hmm. Good choice. I was thinking more painful, violent thoughts, but you are right", said Incrast, calming down a bit. He cast the spell, and took away the coils. They dropped to the ground. "I'll let you keep your sword, boy, but don't let me see any mischief!" he ordered.

 

[nightray]

OOC sory I tend to git cered away.

As my feet hit the ground I look at the mage and say I'm sory if I seem arigint we dragon riders are rased that way. One other thing if you did manig to cut the link betwin me and my brother we both would hav dyed from the shok. I frown a littel. I look at the sword and say that sword wos my fothers he gave it to me on he's deth bed. I look at hem and say agen I'm sorry but you rely cant blame my brother going nuts when he felt my pain if ither one of us dys the other will ither dye emitly or go made I shrug it's the pris we pay to being brouthers to thes magnfifasont crechers. I look up at my brouther a fant loving smile on my lips.

 

[Morgoth]

OOC: No problem, sometimes I'm the same way. Just wanted to help out.

IC: Incrast smiled at them, but then noticed that the school had dissapeared. "Louis, what the hell has happened? Where is the school? Where are my books?" he gasped. He needed that Vampire Master spell. It would empower him greatly. "Lady Borianna, do inform me what has happened to the school", he ordered, picking up his staff and sliding his hair back.

 

[Neale]

Borianna Animagistress

Borianna looked up from where she sat, cradling her head, "Incrast... my head is splitting from the effort of stopping that dragon earlier. I have no idea where we are, how we got here, or what we will bloody well do about it!" She winced at the volume of her own voice, and returned to cradling her head.

 

[Morgoth]

Incrast smiled lightly. He conjured a potion for her quickly and handed it to her. "I believe this will stop your headache", he smiled, letting her drink it. It worked like a charm. "All better, I suppose. I always did get my potions right", he said, then conjured a two handed sword for himself. "When I find the asshole who dissapeared the school, I will personally skin them alive", he threatened loudly, making a slash at an invisible enemy.

 

[nightray]

I wolk over to my brother and litly strok hes muzil wher the ropes of energy wher I can fel hes relf from decufert. I leen agenst hes sholder feeling wave of futig cors throw me from all that has hapind my body is not yet to chaniling magic and it is teling me thes now that adrnilin is whering of. I slide down hes sholder whoching and lesing the others as they try to figer out whot is haping.

 

[Morgoth]

Incrast looked to Winddancer briefly. "Winddancer, would you like to go on a small hunt for the imbecile who has done this to the school. It should be quite fun", offered Incrast. "Louis, I believe you may want to go as well", he stated.

 

[nightray]

I look up and see dubil fore a monint and nod I'd be glad to I think it would be good praktes on cuntrol. I smile so far evry thing I've don wos instict no conchis cuntrole.
