The School of Magery

[Neale]

Louis Malvox

Louis gave a rare smile, "Oh, yes... I would love a chance to practice the Excruciato curse. Perhaps I'll be able to make the subject survive longer than an hour this time."

 

[Morgoth]

"Yes, that would be most interesting. And maybe the subject has little soldiers which we can cast deadly spells on. Maybe a little polymorp into a poisonous worm and then another one of them into a bird. We can test whether the targets retain control of themselves when polymorphed that way", said Incrast, smiling lightly. "And perhaps you would like to come too, Wingdancer?" he added.

OOC and Arha IC

(ooc: Alright, all....now I have something to work from. Follow Sorian. He knows of the labyrinth and the whereabouts, but he doesn't know any of the rooms. Only his wisdom and his knowledge of the tall tales and legends gives him even an inkling of knowledge, who knows, the stories he knows could be twisted beyond truth.)

ARHA:

I looked up. A master mage looked incredibly angry. I felt responsible for this all. Then, when he said he would kill whoever did it....I gasped.

"Sir...." I said, my voice not shaking, only quiet. "I believe I am responsible....I...I am so soo sorry." I said fervently, "The dragons, they followed me, you see that great one above us?" I pointed to the largest of all the dragons. "He told me..."

THe master mage looked at me oddly, talk to a dragon?

"The dragon told me he is watcher of some sort of book of names....it is in the labyrinth with whatever stole it..."

"I promise. I promise I will get it back."

 

[Morgoth]

Incrast walked to Sorian, regarding Arha with interest. She spoke of talking to dragons. Yet of all the teachers in this school, only a few, including him, could do so. Louis followed him> Incrast had heard that this Sorian knew a little of the Labyrinth. So he walked up to Sorian. "Sorian, I believe? I am determined to get the school back. I'll go into the Labyrinth. But I do need a guide", he said, smiling grimly.

COME ON PEOPLE...LETS MOVE....

(ooc. Are you all still here? come on now....I know you all can write beautiful stories for this...)

Arha:

Looking up, exasperated, "Sir Dragon, would you lend me your assistance, explain to them...they don't understand me!"

The dragon sighed, swooping its massive glistening body of armor, it circled until it stood next to me.

ooc: Ok, who is who, who is where, and because im too damn lazy to read it all gimmie a basic introduction. it's time to Get Midevil on yall asses. *lol*

 

[poohlive]

Ooc: Is it me, or was the plot ignored by everyone in this thread?

Joach walked back to his horse. The bread was all mashed up, he could see ants had found an opening and were already taking it back to their nest. It didn't matter, he just wanted to get out of here.
His horse began neighing and backing up as he looked at Joach.
"Calm down, it's just me," it had been spooked pretty bad. Joach wondered what...
Behind him came a terrible noise. He turned around, watching a huge dragon going in for a dive. Joach ran, not knowing or caring where he was going. The horse was on his own, he was not going to be lunch for some hungry dragon.
He wasn't paying too close attention, so when the stump caught him, it really caught him. He leaped into the air falling face first in the dirt. His body turned over two times rolling with the momentum. He couldn't help but feel scratches and pain swarm his body.
Then darkness. He opened his eyes as his body finally stopped. Up above him was a large hole. He must have dropped pretty far. There was no way for him to climb up. He was trapped in some kind of hole.
Off in the distance he could hear a low growl.
What kind of hole had a growl?
The kind where someone lived in. That dragon didn't seem too bad by now. He tried to pierce the darkness, but couldn't. There was no light, and no way for him to get out. He stood, alone, wondering where the hell he was.

Arha

(ooc. Yeah, No offense, but I agree Pooh, I am talking to a brick wall...sheesh, and oooooooo Rolland, Rolland with TWO L's....hehe...This story is not long at all...believe me, it will take you five minutes to read. LITERALLY. Um, now we are all where the school used to be. IT vanished...do you know that story? why it vanished...everyone is there...that is is, there are dragons by the thousands who followed her, and now, pooh just stumbled upon the labyrinth....)


ARHA:

The dragon puffed its breast, roaring, it sent the other dragons scattering in a circle. "I have summoned the labyrinth, they will begin to open it for you. Oh great Master." Then it bowed. I looked at it confused.


The dragons formed a circle around us all...They began to cry out, I could understand their cries. It was beautiful. To the others, they all covered their ears.

I saw the one who ran towards his horse stumble back from the dark hole.

The dark hole began to grow.

The dragons sang. It was gorgeous. Absolutely stunning.


The dragons grew weak. The began to fall asleep, some fell, unconscious. "NO!" I cried out.

The large dragon held up a claw and silenced me. With a last and final bellowing roar. He bowed before me.

I stand ammazed as the dragons seemed to be opening a hole or something and i get this feeling that it leads to the laberynth.Things must be put right

tolerance is the path to wisdom

[poohlive]

There were voices outside. He looked at the hole got bigger. How in the hell did a hole get bigger all by itself. He couldn't understand it. It was like... like....
like magic.
Then again, it really didn't bother him if things just happened anymore. He had seen enough today to make even the strongest of men sick.
"HELP!!!!" he called out to the voices.
"I AM STUCK DOWN HERE WITH A GROWLING THING THAT DOESN'T LIKE ME!"
He heard a crack of wood as the thing tried to get in. He was grateful that it couldn't, yet. It seemed to be a door or something seperating them, it wouldn't seperate them for long, however. He needed to go, and fast.
"ANYBODY???!!!??? HELP!!!"

 

[Morgoth]

"What the...? What kind of magic could do this?" asked Incrast thoughtfully, watching as the hole opened. He ignored the dragons.

 

[LAVA GODDESSS]

Arha

(ooc. Pooh, you are in the hole right? If not, I will fix my post)


The large dragon looked towards the hole, flying still, it lowered a bit, it nudged me with it's large muzzle. He put his jaws near my ear, "My name...is Hara, Use it wisely and sparingly, for I am yours when you speak it, go, that is your calling, help the man."

My eyes were wild. He nudged me again. "leap into it, you will be ok, your spirit is old, I find you familiar, you will be fine. " His eyes twinkled in something that I could almost see as a grin.

I walked towards the hole, I heard the dragons still stomping, growling, the hole was about as long as I was tall. The second I reached the hole, the odd ritual of the dragons stopped, and it was as silent as if the world ceased to exist.

"I am coming, " I yelled to the man, I feared breaking the silence. That is when the dragons growled and took to the sky again.

Their wings made a mysteriously chanting beat.

Closing my eyes, I fell into the hole, the small dragon who had been with me the whole time, following diligently.

"Sir? SIR?" I yelled out, the darkness almost taking my breath away.

 

[poohlive]

Something leaped out, grabbing her arm. Joach quickly pulled himself behind her, pointed to the now apparent door on the far side.
"There's something in there," he said, scared out of his mind. He didn't want to die in here alone. She had dragons, she had magical things, she had something, anything to help with this situation.
"Do something, please."

Boriana Animagistress

The aging Mistress of Mystic Beasts followed the others into the gaping hole.


/ooc: I'm trying to play along here, but I'm still kinda confused. School is gone, we have a portal opened by dragons, and are all doing the Alice bit and diving in?

 

[LAVA GODDESSS]

Arha

(ooc...sort of yes Neale...)


Waving my hand in front of me, in a half circle, this was one thing I knew how to do. The only thing I could control.

Flames appeared where my hand was. That is when I saw a room entrance, with a door of some sort....a door that was being mangled to death.

I looked at the man. "Did you do that?" I asked.

 

[poohlive]

"No, no. It wasn't me. The thing inside did it, and it wants to eat me. You all know magic, so go kill it or destroy it, "he pointed at the blue man," or turn it to blue or whatever, just make it go away."
He had backed up as he said this, hitting the far wall. It was a damn shame these cliffs were too high, he wanted to be anywhere but here.

 

[silverwolf]

sorian

I concentrated as i tried to sense what the beast was.When i got the picture i drew my dagger and was ready for whatever.turning to the lady who seemed to be friends with dragons"You know more then i do about creatures and the sort so you tell me what to do and i will do it."

 

[LAVA GODDESSS]

Arha

I looked at the man. I blinked. Suddenly, my circle of fire erupted into a massive ball of fire. Uncontrollably.

I was mad, "I can not control a damn thing, and you know what, I am sick of it. This damn beast is either going to eat me or calm it's terrible soul. I can not tolerate any more noise! I am going insane!"

WIth that, I went to the door. I didn't even know if I tried to command the ball of fire, if it would obey. I tried it anyways.

I was thinking how I wish the ball would knock down the door.

AND IT DID.

I was face to face, with the largest most grotesque.....black void of a beast. It had no face, but two eyes.

It narrowed it's eyes and growled at me. THe little dragon on my shoulder growled back. The thing tilted it's head.

It snarled and proceeded to shake the room, and multiply.

 

[poohlive]

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
Joach screamed at the top of his lungs as he saw the door burst open. He looked at these people in amazement, they weren't his saviors, they were his captors. He had heard about things like this, cult magic groups going into holes and feeding virgins to huge black monster beasts. No way, not this virgin. He ran to the back of the room, looking for a way out. His hand clenched another door.
Two of them. Yes, a way out, or at least a way out of this room. He turned the knob, it was unlocked. Quickly he pulled himself inside and closed the door, locking it and putting his own weight against it.
Inside it was pitch black, but he felt safe, at least safer than he was out there. Let them find another virgin, that's all he had to say.
In the dark he heard something sneeze. Something big, he glanced around, wide eyed again.
"He... hello," his voice quivered.
"Is anyone there?" Why was this stuff always happening to him?

 

[silverwolf]

sorian

Incrast followed after them a little later, and stepped into pitch black. He heard them talking though, and followed them.

 

[LAVA GODDESSS]

a bit of hints for new RPGers and ARHA

(ooc. This is not to offend anyone, but I know I did this when I was new....Capitalize and write as if your teacher would grade it. I mean, it isn't all that hard once you get into the habit. Sorry, just hard to read some posts...)

ARHA:

I was yanked with the man. "Hands off. I don't know who you are."

Then, I heard someone behind me..."Is that the man who told me of the beast? Where is he?" (joach...)

"It fears light? Then why turn them off? I will light this place up like you have never seen...well...that is if I can figure out how..."

 

[Morgoth]

"I can do that. quite easily, actually", said Incrast non-chalantly. Suddenly, light appeared. It momentarily blinded everyone, but the they got used to it. The beast scampered back in it's room, whimpering. Incrast looked surprised when he first saw the beast, then composed himself. "The light will follow us around, so don't worry about casting new spells", shrugged Incrast, jogging up to them.

 

[poohlive]

Light burst through the cracks of the door. Even with it fully closed he had to shield his eyes. The room lit up brightly around him.
In the middle stood a two headed dog, growling and looking evilly at him. Joach would have screamed again, but at that time he saw a chain around the beast's neck. The poor thing, it must have been in here for years chained up. He wondered what it ate, and what kept it alive.
Bones scattered afar from the room. That question was answered, anything that came down here would get eaten up. He saw a huge well at the far end of the room.
The dog, or maybe it was dogs looked up at him. He had to blink twice, it really wasn't an evil look, it was more like a pitious look. Joach felt sorry for the creature.
"Come on, I am not mean," he walked over, reaching around. The eyes, all four of them watched as he reached and undid the chain.
The creature pounced upon him.
Joach's face became wet. He quinted, hoping for the pain to be light. It was light, in fact, there was none at all. No pain, just two big wet things on his face. The dog was licking him. Joach pushed it off gently.
"There ya go boy, it's ok. Gosh you are friendly for being such an evil looking thing."
He head another growl from the evil thing in the other room. He could also hear the other's voices.
"Well," he said, turning his head back to his new friend, "Perhaps you know of a way out of here."
The dog jumped on him, licking him fiercely.
