Phantom

This is Ilythiirtar and Eve.....Everyone GAWK at this adorable couple... had to edit both hair's to match their true colors.

[color=sienna][i]Ilythiirtar now wielding his Shin-bar, glows his happy translucent gray. Looking onwards at this brute balrog beast, its outline advancing at the group of fighters, Lacroix dives in first, being backed up by Alriy. Ilythiirtar and Mara both jump behind the massive engorged beast, taking their blades to its legs. To their dismay, its legs obliterate their attacks and knock them both backwards. With one swift motion, Lacroix?s twinkle slips across the gigantor?s eyes, causing a red-green puss to spew forth. Jumping onto the beasts back, Alriy dances on the shoulders of the Balrog, striking it repeatedly in the face with his Sangre Barra. Thar sat in the background, smiling at them, his face dark with a possessive evil. Raising his sword, he appeared behind Mara. Gripping her arm, he does the teleportation movement again, taking her behind some trees.[/i] [b]Thar:[/b] ?I have waited a long time for this my dear!? [b]Mara:[/b] (confused) ?Whaa?? [b]Thar:[/b] (in his last words) ?Your ?man? is now useless! You are mine!? [i]In a quick second, Thar?s corrupted head spun free from his shoulders as a white blade swept through his sternoclavicular mastoid, letting the fraudulent black blood pour from the open neck? The dark figure wielding the blade moved forth, catching Mara before she hit the ground in shock. His eyes black and subtle.[/i] [b]Oblivion:[/b] (unreceptively) ?You are alright, this paladin was being influenced by that cursing necromancer. Fear not? I will help your husband.? [b]Mara:[/b] (evidently still in shock) ?Ah?o?kay..? [i]Oblivion glides forward into the battle scene, dismissing the others who were fighting the balrog, heading straight for Maria, seeing Serenol on the ground, under the day cloak. Oblivion makes his way, carefully to the scene.[/i][/color] OOC: im just getting Obliv into our rpg.. he will build his history and his nilothakir's intervention as we move along... hehe...welcome again my friend.

OOC:[color=sienna][size=4][b]WELCOME OBLIVION[/b][/size] Everyone, meet oblivion, he is here and will be joining... he is replacing Newt due to his lack of effort and we cannot have an effortless rpg.. thank you all...try to accomidate this fellow warrior as our own.[/color]

[color=sienna][i]Ilythiirtar and Eve smile as they re-group with band of comrades. Eve cannot hide the persistent eat to ear smile spread along her dazzling face. Thar looks at her, than back to Ilythiirtar? Smiling at them, the paladin looks up to the heavens and grins. Glancing at Ilythiirtar, he sees what appears to be a new man? Eyes bright and head hung high. No longer the solemn darker elf, His eyes glow as Eve jumps out of his arms, he cannot be happier.[/i] [b]Ilythiirtar:[/b] ?Whatcha?ll staring at!?? [/color]

:::This is Serenol Ashenmyst:::

*smiles* honeslty, i could not come up with that in the time you did, so praise you shall receive... good every line rhymed..i mean if you wanted to get more complex your stanzas would have more complex rhyming patterns but hell man your very good at it... want me to critique it?

[color=sienna][i]Standing only six feet, Haas? slouched over humped back demeanor proved quite deceiving. The advancing Glock Minions had no clue what they were in for.[/i] [b]Glock#1:[/b] (veering at Haas) ?Get off lord Sepet?s land or I will be forced to club you? You dumb hunch backed orgre!? OOC: Heh, finaly an easy name?. IC:[b]Haas:[/b] (spinning violently, revealing his twin Dasmir shields) ?Dindum satar!? [i]Dashing onwards barbarically at the two Glocks, Haas had the element of surprise. The minions were ones to be contended with, and being Sepet?s elite guards, they had voice with power backing it. This meant nothing to Haas, who was here on a mission of god, to stop the ?Sepet Foundry of Unholy Armaments? to distribute their goods to the already growing supply of dark magic wielding sorcerers. Only a juggernaut such as himself with his skill would be able to infiltrate the foundry and destroy Sepet without being killed along the way. Raising his twin shields, he spins monastically, dropping the two guards almost silently with the swish of his razor-sharp shield tips. With his ebony cloak hung over his gorged body, he walks on curtly. Not realizing (his main weakness, He is a moron.) he was being followed by two Midnight Cruzzirs, their disjointed maws hung open, allowing a thin trail of slime to be emitted behind them. Even though they are nearly invisible to the eye, the sound they resonate is quite unmistakable. A low bone popping reverberation that is easy to hear if in earshot. However in his haste he does not keep an eye on his aft. And the Cruzzirs take advantage of that, one behind him, and one ?cruzzing? (an almost ancient form of amphorication.) before him. Once before Haas, the cruzzir spreads its translucent body into a thin, sheet-like membrane, for the dumb juggernaut to walk into. Only sensing the cruzzir as it is too late, he fruitlessly draws his Dasmir?l (left handed shield) in an attempt to slice through the cuss-like slime. Before long, the poison in the cruzzir?s membranous tissue put him to sleep by a mixture of suffocation and poison. Days later, Haas wakes up, finding himself in a cell. Surrounded by rats, whose little razor-like teeth have been eating at his body for five days now, he jumps, knocking the first hundred off with one swipe, his mighty fist killing most of the rats that were dumb enough to stay for a last morsel of human flesh. The rest jumped off him in a smart evasion of death. Haas?s body was one tenth eaten, and he was loosing blood rapidly? His Dasmir shields where taken from him and he was going to die for sure if he didn?t do something fast? After many attempts at barging through the door, he makes it?only to be greeted at the throne of lord Sepet himself. The evil lord just snickered, laughing as he threw four serpent-like flaming ?ropes? of magic, twisting and whirling in the air as they veered at Haas violently. Heedless of his strength, Haas was captured in the razor-rope.. The second the dark lord pulled at the black mana?st-filled rope of flames (which would surely slice him in two?. He wakes up in a deep cold sweat, his old friend Mara jumps to his side?.[/i] [b]Mara:[/b] ?Was beginning to wonder if you would wake at all good friend? Haas you have been sleeping for days. We went out on three operations without you!? [b]Haas:[/b] (rubbing his eyes) ?What?? [b]Mara:[/b] ?Nevermind? Well, I still think you should tell us why you were given a chance at resurrection.? [b]Haas:[/b] (stubbornly) ?Like I said, I was only a townsfolk? I don?t even know how I died!? [b]Mara:[/b] ?Pfft..?[/color]

Whoa he said my posts where good.. .maybe i was wrong about myself after all! buahaha! :evil: :shifty: :evil:

[color=sienna][i]After being dragged to his feet by Eve, Ilythiirtar trudged along in her wake to the brook nearby.[/i] [b]Eve:[/b] (Smiling at him softly) ?You?re a scruffy looking guy when your like this? [b]Ilythiirtar:[/b] (Giggling) ?Should?a let me sleep Eve, really I feel dead.? [b]Eve:[/b] (Throwing Illy into the water) ?Wake up than!? (jumping in after him) ?Stupid boy?? (kissing him softly, up to their necks in water) ?Just in need of some tlc.? [b]Ilythiirtar:[/b] (Half mumbling) ?But -muah- you know? it don?t take much to waken me?(Kisses her back, wrapping his arms around her waist delicately as her arms seize his neck, pulling him closer) ?heh, -muah-.? [i]As they continue kissing, together in the brook, the rest of the group labors at their morning activities. Alriy, still fixated with his staff, he packs his rucksack with his daily supplies, his lips eyes unreceptive to the rest of the surroundings. Lacroix, sat verbalizing to Elsyan on how fun it was slaying a demon dragon of an unholy ministry. Thor, the somber one, sat alone, quietly, grimly? Back at the brook, Ilythiirtar and Eve just finished their refreshing dip. Drying her hair, Eve smiles at Ilythiirtar, who is struggling out of the water.[/i] [b]Eve:[/b] ?You really are almost dead eh love?? [b]Ilythiirtar:[/b] (Smiling) ?Yes? hehe now help me!!! Shiez?? [i]Smiling at her, the second she makes her way to him, he pulls her in, going under with her. He kisses her soft lips firmly, allowing the mountain water to keep them semi-buoyant. After allowing her the much needed breathe of air, he jumped out of the water, feeling happy and refreshed...[/i] [b]Ilythiirtar:[/b] ?Wonder how Serenol is??[/color]

[color=sienna][i]Walking alongside Eve, Ilythiirtar pokes her, trying to agitate her enough to get a reaction. Wondering if she can tell if he has a crush on her, he just continues giggling, while poking her. Behind them, Tyrone and Karina, talking, following as Serenol, Artea and Valen follow them as well, stoutly.[/i] [b]Eve:[/b] (laughing) ?Shiez! Stoppit Illy, hehe, or I?m a tickle you back!? [b]Ilythiirtar:[/b] (tickling her nose with telekinesis) ?And I?d like to see you try! Bring it lil one.? [i]Eve then jumped on Ilythiirtar?s back, realizing its much easier to be carried. Playing with his brown hair, she hopes is enough payment for Ilythiirtar?s walk. Little does she know, he is conjuring up something to give for payment of letting him carry her.[/i][/color] OOC: this is Your rpg my love, I dont know what comes next, gona guide us?

[color=sienna][i]Walking next to Alriy, Ilythiirtar trudges alongside, keeping his pace. Lacroix and the others follow, also keeping pace well. Elsyan and Lauren trading glances, as the group move on ward.[/i] [b]Lacroix:[/b] ?Desert, oh Christ, why must we pass barren desert.? [b]Ilythiirtar:[/b] ?Have a think ?gainst deserts?? [b]Lacroix:[/b] ?Oh not really, just the heat.? [i]Walking on, Ilythiirtar notices Alriy, just walking, wordless; he trots on, silent and fast. Wondering why he is even here, Ilythiirtar levitates as they walk, allowing him to relax his mind, as he thinks to himself, why he would ever possibly be a part of this. After several hours of the straight, onward westerly travel, they stop for rest. Lacroix the only one who seemed distressed, was sweating profusely.[/i] [b]Alriy:[/b] (knowing the sweat is not from the heat) ?Lacroix, my friend, you know this is not just as we expected? Obviously the first relic is your calling?? [b]Lacroix:[/b] (nodding) ?Yes, I think so as well.. it has been getting worse with every step? I must get it.. it is mine to receive.. and until I have it, I will feel this agony?? [i]And so they continued, now knowing who will be the first to receive one of the impressive relics they are in search of.[/i][/color] OOC: Come on people friggen start posting! and do them creatively.. make somthing worth reading...

[color=sienna][i]Having missed his second lesson, Ilythiirtar felt bad, knowing he had to leave his master to help his love. Lacroix would understand. She would have died. Grumbling as he wakes, Eve?s arm around him still, she was out cold, sleeping soundlessly but alive for sure, for her chest heaves to and fro on his armor. Her dark hair waves over his face, meandering over his skin like a swishing brook down the autumn channel. His eyes flutter open weakly, his life energy still drained; he can barely smile, only doing so because Eve is alive, smiling, in her contented way, still sleeping noiselessly.[/i] [b]Ilythiirtar:[/b] (playing with her silken red hair) ?Oh love, my Angel?? *cough* ?You will be fine my Angel.? [i]Ilythiirtar just hunched up, looking at his sleeping beauty, stroking above her eye brows softly, leaning forward, and pressing his lips to her soft forehead.[/i] [b]Ilythiirtar:[/b] ?I love you?.? [b]Eve:[/b] (yawning excitedly) ?You too Illy? [i]Just smiling at his love, waking up as well? Ilythiirtar closes his eyes trying to regain some strength, he will need it if he intends on getting his Shin-bar?[/color][/i]

[color=sienna][i]Smiling gently, Ilythiirtar realizes that Lacroix can handle this alone...[/i] [b]Ilythiirtar:[/b] ?Lacroix I am deeply sorry, but I just know something is wrong with my angel? I must find her? and I will return before this is over, if she is in pain I can stop it instantly.? [i]As Lacroix dodged another blast of the semi-transparent darkness wretched forth from the dragon?s maw, he looked at Ilythiirtar with a cocked head, his expression age old. ? I thought I was the only one who felt it. ?[/i] [b]Lacroix:[/b] (wryly) ?Go, but damn you hurry back!? [b]Ilythiirtar:[/b] (bowing quickly) ?Thank you sir!? [i]At this, Ilythiirtar jumps on his heels, amphoricating to Eve within minutes?[/i] [/color][color=blue]At the meadow trail where Eve lays writhing in pain.[/color][color=sienna] [i]Amphoricating from behind the grim shadow of the bantrig tree to Eve?s left, Ilythiirtar heaves with pain, as he is halfway down on his mana?st from the high-speed amphorication, and also the feeling of his love being so close to death.[/i] [b]Ilythiirtar:[/b] (tears flowing silently from his eyes) ?I know what to do love? I can fix this? I really can.? [i]Wiping his eyes, Ilythiirtar levitates for a second, before falling?Frustrated, he attempts again, hoping he can come through for his angel. This time the levitation stays, and as he begins to focus his energy, drawing the mana?st from the surroundings, making the levitation much stronger. He begins to glow his age-old grayish yellow. Now beginning his first ever attempt at a full Energy Transversal, his eyes shut, focusing Eve out of his mind? The wind picks up subtly, as he hums to his self in a meditative way. As the life is being literally sucked from the surroundings, eve from Eve, he leeches its viciously, stealing all of the energy he can, transferring it into his body. The glowing existence of him is disgusting, (like watching the heat ripple from a cars hood after a long drive) as the translucent grey mana?st flows off him. His eyes open, ebony black, he cannot see anything for the time being, the mana?st is sucked from every blade of grass to his body. Watching in a nearly dead demeanor, Eve?s eyes go numb as she watches Illy, the energy arching toward him in black streaks from all the living life around, her eyes close as he takes her remaining energy, causing her to go to the brink of death. The transversal does not kill, only nearly, and when Ilythiirtar finishes, his body is pulsating with flowing energy. He is ready to take on Lucifer himself, but this energy must not go wasted. He lands on his feet, running to his love as if he was the light itself moving. Ducking before her, he channels his love for her, causing an abrupt disturbance in the physical surroundings. The wind is dead now, for Ilythiirtar even stole the winds power temporarily. His hands on her chest, Ilythiirtar forces all of the gathered energy into her? The yellow of his body droops to an almost peach-like pale representation of his living body, which has went limp in the last five seconds. Getting up instantly, Eve, covered in this white-yellow substance, looking a lot like Illy. She doesn?t know what is going on until she sees Ilythiirtar laying motionless on the ground, nearly dead, for he was spent, every last drop of his possible energy, spend, used?in her.. he had to be sure, making her healthy is top priortity. The surroundings where decimate, every tree, bush, shrub nearly dead, all stripped of their leaves, which had turned to a white ash? almost making the landscape a warm winter. Kneeling onto Ilythiirtar, Eve just rested, still feeling partially spent? her body quivering hoping for him?.as she lays beside him, she moves his hands over her tummy, resting with her love, hoping his hand will squeeze her?telling her he will be okay?[/i][/color]

AG works too. .Imesh runs off the same servers as KAzza but way diff prog. may work for u neil.

Paul Oakenfold really rocks. Hyptnotize, and planet of the apes (remix) are the two coolest oakenfold songs ive ever heard. JAmes do u have any prefered songs? ...i may be interested in?

[color=sienna][i]Just as the party closed in, Bleed dove at Artea, striking her side violently. Hunter heard her shrieks of pain and lunged forth, drawing his freshly-smithed Alaris, swinging angrily at the demon. Eve jumped to Artea and tended to her awful wound. Letting her hands softly glow over the wound, causing it to stop bleeding, relying on Artea?s immune system to take care of the rest for now. Ilythiirtar stood in awe, not knowing what to do; he followed Hunter?s style instinctively drawing his Tulwar out of its scabbard. Flipping at the demon, his blade barley missing at Bleed evades the attack, willing its red lust upon the prince. Valen and Tyron both flung into action as they arrived helping the stressed Ilythiirtar regain his composure. By this time Bleed was overly outmatched, and he withdrew into the unbeknownst land they could not reach. Every member of this group now circled the torn Artea, tears welling in Hunter?s and Eve?s eyes. Karina moved forward, pushing through, taking hold of Artea?s torn stomach, her hands glow deeply red, the she lifts her hands and smiles at the group.[/i] [b]Karina:[/b] ?Should ease her pain, just a trick I learned.? [b]Eve:[/b] (wiping her eyes) ?Thank yee.? [b]Serenol:[/b] (nodding softly) ?Thanks. Now that Artea is safe, we are going to have to try to figure out what we can do about this mess.? [b]Ilythiirtar:[/b] (Already knowing Serenol is the destined male leader of this party) ?Aye aye Captain Serenol!? [b]Valen/Tyrone:[/b] (laughing at Illy) ?Comical one aren?t you Illy?? [b]Ilythiirtar:[/b] (shot back) ?Okay ? I was just trying to be loose!? [i]Eve jumps on Illy?s shoulders, while smacking him over the head with her hand lightly. She jumps off and looks at him with a curious face.[/i] [b]Eve:[/b] (smiling) ?So, captain Illy what do you suggest?? [b]Ilythiirtar:[/b] ?I don?t know, I was just sorta fooling around.? [b]Eve:[/b] (giggling with a minor victory) ?Thought so.? [i]Serenol just looked blankly at this whole scene, his eyes probing for a possible return of Bleed. He just gazed on as the other ?children?? continued their high jinks.[/i][/COLOR]

[color=sienna][i]The sun shawn through the forest canopy politely, waking the two unseen warriors. Both yawning briskly, as they wake up for their morning stretch. Arms flailing, Ilythiirtar dared his mentor to eat the eye jokingly but also unknowingly, as Lacroix popped the slimy green ball of mucus into his mouth, hurriedly. Ilythiirtar, stood with his eyes popped and his jaw dropped.[/i] [b]Lacroix:[/b] (wiping his mouth with his left forearm) ?What?? [b]Ilythiirtar:[/b] (ready to hurl) ?Oh?.nothing Lacroix?.nothing at all?? [i]Shaking his head deftly, Lacroix motions for Ilythiirtar to start walking. Doing so Lacroix joins up with him, levitating alongside him, obviously bored of walking. Lacroix begins to decipher what today?s lesson shall bring his young friend/apprentice/pupil, and comrade.[/i] [b]Lacroix:[/b] (still yawning from the long nights sleep) ?So my young friend, what are you going to teach me today?? [b]Ilythiirtar:[/b] ?What? Teach you?? [b]Lacroix:[/b] ?Oh of course. You will see.? [i]Wondering what he meant, Ilythiirtar just moved on, ear and eyes peeled, ready for a contact of any sort. Lacroix smiles, finally deciding on a lesson, he stops, and looks at Ilythiirtar, whose body swung around at the abrupt halt.[/i] [b]Ilythiirtar:[/b] ?Yes sir?? [b]Lacroix:[/b] ?You are going to show me your darkest magical attack now.? [b]Ilythiirtar:[/b] ?But no?. I will not. It would destroy the forest.? [b]Lacroix:[/b] ?Nothing I cannot revive? trust me.? [b]Ilythiirtar:[/b] ?Promise me this Lacroix.? [b]Lacroix:[/b] ?Done, I promise you.? [i]Shaking his head, Ilythiirtar rests his hands at his sides, walking to Lacroix. A red disk appeared over Ilythiirtar?s head, and with the wave of a hand it glides to Lacroix?s lap.[/i] [b]Lacroix:[/b] ?I assume this is your bearer of release?? (Referring to a magical object that gives immunity to all of Ilythiirtar?s magical attacks.) [b]Ilythiirtar:[/b] ?Yes.? [b]Lacroix:[/b] ?Rather compact you would say?? [b]Ilythiirtar:[/b] (Giggling) ?That?s the way I like it.? [i]Flipping backwards, Ilythiirtar crouched, scared of the power of his Elemental Surge, not understanding its true potential yet, he only has mere control over the release, not the proximity nor intensity. Remembering back to the time when he fought Serenol, the destruction it caused, and it wasn?t even charged. He cringes, knowing he hasn?t done it since that fight, even though Serenol has helped him manipulate it. Shaking off the nervousness, Ilythiirtar takes stand, allowing the small grey-black orb grow in his hands. As it hits the size of an infant gnome, he releases it, into five radiating basketball sized orbs which spin around his body, orbiting him like the electrons of an atom, spinning violently. With the sum of his strength, Ilythiirtar brings them to a clashing halt above his head, letting them flicker red, green, white, black,blue, and brown, representing the forces used in his attack. The necromantic orb above his head expands quickly enveloping him, Lacroix, and the surrounding wildlife. The flora now ensnared by this violent burst of energy, vaporize at contact. Jumping five feet into the air, Ilythiirtar fires off the orb in five separate blasts of mana?st, hitting in a pentacle around Lacroix. The blasts hit with an invigorating intensity, causing everything within a squared kilometer to be effected one way or another. The initial effect is a liquid blue flare which can be seen for seventy odd miles.[/i] [/color][color=blue][b]On the trail where Eve, Alriy, Mara, Thar, Elsyan, and Serenol are following.[/b][/color] [color=sienna][b]Eve:[/b] ?What was that!!?? [b]Elsyan:[/b] ?Not sure, but it?s a hefty explosion of some sort?? [b]Serenol:[/b] ?Hmm?.? [b]Thar:[/b] (naively) ?Probably just some drunkard blowing up his munitions cabinet.? [b]Eve:[/b] ?Whatever it is, Illy is not here and that is enough to make me cringe.? [i]Serenol just sat dazed on the grass, seeing a dark shroud of shadows traveling from ground zero at an alarming speed. Realizing only now that it was the elemental surge that he saw only once before. Ilythiirtar! His brain nearly shouts a loud. The final element of the surge was the shroud of shadows. As the monstrous shroud advances on them, everything it touches turns to ash. The only green spot left for miles is the patch of grass that Lacroix sits on.[/i] [b]Serenol:[/b] ?That is Ilythiirtar! What the hell is he doing!? [b]Eve:[/b] (scared to death that her Illy is hurt) ?What! No? Not this now!? [b]Serenol:[/b] ?Don?t worry, anything he attacked with that is dead now so don?t worry.? [/color][color=blue][b]Back at the crater.[/b][/color] [color=sienna][i]Clutching for his life, Ilythiirtar pants ferociously, while hanging on the limb of death, his mana?st almost completely drained. Lacroix sits in his soft grass as the disk disperses into the air.[/i] [b]Lacroix:[/b] (Standing up) ?Yes, that is indeed dark.? [b]Ilythiirtar:[/b] (mumbles inaudibly) [b]Lacroix:[/b] ?No, I will not teach you something darker. That is very dark already, in fact it surprised me. I wasn?t expecting a shroud of shadows to roar out like that. You must have been practicing.? [i]Ilythiirtar just nods, not able to do much more. Lacroix smiles, hoping the spell still works. He levitates above the main crater, chanting a couple old spells, that roughly translate;[/i] SANDS OF TIME SHOW ME THY WAY TURN THE NIGHTS INTO DAYS ROSE PETALS SO LIGHT AND GRACE REVERSE TIME NOW, IN THIS PLACE [i]Before Ilythiirtar?s eyes, he watches his Elemental Surge work backwards, as if reviving the trees and shrubs. The world seems to stop turning as he seems to become exhausted, feeling the world around him shrink into nothing. He wakes up about twenty minutes later, Lacroix sitting by his side.[/i] [b]Lacroix:[/b] (Smiling) ?Do you remember the spell?? [b]Ilythiirtar:[/b] (jumping to his feet hurriedly) ?Yes? oh my god!? [b]Lacroix:[/b] ?Your second lesson in the arts of the drow is to understand that being hidden is not the only thing drows are good for? [i]Nodding, Ilythiirtar smiles at his master, and after discussing for some time they would return to the band of warriors. They will leave again soon thereafter, to finish Ilythiirtar?s last leg of drow training.[i][/color] OOC: We will leave group again when The Harlequin comes back, for I want his input on Ilythiirtar?s final training session, and also I do not want to fight a boss alone. So we leave again when Harly comes back.

[color=sienna][i]Walking alongside a silent Lacroix, Ilythiirtar paces to keep up with the drow?s steady momentum. His grey eyes have toned down more, the shade almost transparent in the afternoon sun. Turning to Lacroix, whose eyes were closed as they trotted along their route, not knowing exactly where they were going, Ilythiirtar notions;[/i] [b]Ilythiirtar:[/b] (telepathically) ?Sir, I know we are venturing alone for you to enhance my training, but don?t you feel what we are leaving behind?? [b]Lacroix:[/b] (in response) ?Of course Ilythiirtar, I know as well as you do, the boys and girls we left can handle themselves. It is my job alone to now enlighten you to the feeling of true darkness.? [b]Ilythiirtar:[/b] (just nodding) ?Understood, my master.? [i]The drow smiled softly at his young apprentice as they continued their trek along the wooded plane of land. Looking up at Ilythiirtar, Lacroix now reveals his eyes fully, letting them chill Ilythiirtar, sending an icy chill down his quivering spine. Swiftly Lacroix leaves Ilythiirtar?s sight, without even teleporting, the drow was behind him, and almost instantly the young master of shadows falls face first in the grass, toppling over. He, unlike most students did not stay down, nor get up shaking his head, Ilythiirtar instead jumped forwards, unexpectedly striking Lacroix across the face with his right fist while drawing his left scimitar, condemning Lacroix?s solar plexus to the agonizing fate of receiving a hilt in the chest. Collapsing to his knees, Lacroix pants heavily as Ilythiirtar jumps backwards crouching gently in the long grass. To his surprise, Lacroix only stood, brushing off his chest, wiping the blood from his chin. He smiles at his pupil.[/i] [b]Lacroix:[/b] (a loud) ?Very good. In fact, you actually surprised me.? [b]Ilythiirtar:[/b] (still blustering because of the unexpected attack) ?Well sir, try not to scare me. Heh? [i]Nodding, Lacroix moves his hand as if motioning for them to move on. They travel this way until night, before they both stop dead silently, Lacroix fading into the tree line as Ilythiirtar amphoricates to the nearest treetop, hidden behind his cloak of glimmering translucency.[/i] [b]Lacroix:[/b] (telepathically) ?I would say fifteen to twenty dark gnomes. I will watch. Your first lesson will start now. Are you ready to find out what the task is?? [b]Ilythiirtar:[/b] (retorting) ?I don?t see why you are giving this such a big deal, they are only dark gnomes.? [b]Lacroix:[/b] ?But have you ever did it without being seen?? [i]Lacroix already knew the answer, and was happy that a horde of such stupid beings would cross their path for he would not dare attempt to have his young apprentice try to demolish twenty dragoons without being seen. That of course would be foolish to ask of his young pupil.[/i] [b]Ilythiirtar:[/b] ?Ok, so this is it? I have to kill them all without being seen? Anything else I should know sir?? [b]Lacroix:[/b] ?I always wanted a dark gnome eye. They come in handy you know? Retrieve me the right eye of the lead gnome. I already see it, if you give me the any other eye, you will fail. That would mean we regroup with the rest, and your training will be left as is. I do not need a useless apprentice.? [i]Hoping the young elf didn?t catch on to his obvious lie, Lacroix remained hidden to the rest, watching on feverishly. Not caring which eye he received, Lacroix closed his eyes letting his senses tell him what was happening before him. The eye he would receive would be the right eye of the lead gnome, he knew already. The scared Ilythiirtar would do everything perfectly, for he was scared to lose his apprenticeship with the drow. Gliding forward, off his perch, The nearly invisible Shadow Master swept through the group of gnomes, both scimitars come from beneath his cloak with lightning speed, causing the abrupt end of two gnomes lives. The two last gnomes in the group fell, their heads estranged from their bodies. The heaping carcasses fell almost silently as the others moved on, unnoticing as Lacroix would have suspected. ? The dumb beasts ? Ilythiirtar, now with seventeen left to kill, ? nineteen to begin with ? kneels forward, both his hands were welling up a mystical dark glow, the grey-yellow energy radiated from his hands not quite invisibly, as he shot out the dark energy, like it was a second set of arms, the lucid energy took the next set of four gnomes by the necks, squeezing them silent. The mana?st lifts them off their feet as they struggle silently, their necks completely yielding to the invisible force strangling them, their light shirts being squeezed close to their necks. Once limp, Ilythirtar dropped them as he walked by invisibly, their bodies? void of life. With only thirteen left, he decided to take out the second and third in command, hopefully scattering the rest. After a quick debate with himself on the matter, he decides to be courageous and risk being saw, hoping that it would work, because these gnomes are known for scattering when in danger, and that he was sure would be a benefit for him in due course. Smiling to himself, his glimmering blades beneath his cloak, for he does not want to allow the gnomes to see him coming, Ilythiirtar swoops three hundred paces in front of the gnomes, who already walked past Lacroix unwittingly. Teleporting opening the shadows before him, Ilythiirtar jumps swiftly into the shadow in which he will allow to carry him (amphorically) in front of the dark gnomes. Emerging from the shadow, still almost invisible from his cloak, Ilythiirtar spins violently, allowing the blades to dice the second and third in command gnomes to masses of dead flesh. The blood gushed from the front of the second gnome?s neck as it writhed in agony. The blood shot into one of the trailing gnomes faces as the third gnome spun to its death. Just as he thought, the remaining gnomes split up in groups of two, except the final two. The leader alone, and the final one, only a baby, also alone, Ilythiirtar breathed with success, knowing he can take two at a time simply. Teleporting in front of the baby, he just looked at it. Watching it stare right through him, scared to death, not even seeing him. He bends over, looking almost softly into its eyes, seeing what it will grow up to be. At that second a tear drops from his eye, as he thinks of Eve. His scimitars come from either direction instantaneously slicing the head off, for a quick death. He turns, wiping his eyes, he would later explain he had gotten a shard of gnome bone in his eye, to Lacroix. After taking out the rest of the pairs of gnomes as swiftly as the first two, he locates the lead gnome. It sat alone by a tree, panting heavily from its run. Ilythiirtar decides not to risk it? getting within mana?st manipulation range, Ilythiirtar just squeezes the head of the gnome from four hundred feet away. Watching it thrash about in torment, he directs a fatal blow, much like a four thousand pound log being thrust into the back of its head, causing both eyes to fire vacantly into the air...After grabbing the right eye, Ilythiirtar travels back to Lacroix, who was where he would be expected to be.[/i] [b]Lacroix:[/b] (yawning) ?Did you get it?? [b]Ilythiirtar:[/b] ?No.? [b]Lacroix:[/b] (wholly astounded) ?What the ****!?? [b]Ilythiirtar:[/b] (pulling out the eye) ?Aye, good sir, blasphemy is not required, I am merely testing you, as you are me.? OOC: HEHE, in other words?. ?IM JUST FUKIN WIT U!? [b]Lacroix:[/b] (somewhat relieved) ?Don?t you ever do that!? [b]Ilythiirtar:[/b] (laughing violently) ?Ah, drows cannot have fun?? [b]Lacroix:[/b] (firing back) ?You are not a drow!.....yet? [b]Ilythiirtar:[/b] (laughing even more) ?I was referring to you kind sir!? [i]Absently, Lacroix decided it was time for sleep, as he did not want to have anything to do with Ilythiirtar?s overwhelming laughter. Besides, he could not laugh with him, could he?[/i][/color] OOC: DO NOT USE LACROIX OR ILLY IN FUTURE POSTS UNTIL I SAY SO HEEHEE I also am claiming the MIRROR BELT

[COLOR=sienna][I]Cuddling with Eve turned out to be quite the therapy for Ilythiirtar, whose back now felt unusually well. ? Must be the fact that Eve had her arm around his back tickling him the entire night. ? His eyes fluttering open, to see her bright green eyes starring directly into his glowing grey eyes with delight. He smiled, reaching out as if to kiss her, but stopping before her mouth.[/I] [B]Ilythiirtar:[/B] ?Awe ****! I got genki breath again??? [B]Eve:[/B] (just laughing) ?Hehe, cute, come now?.? [I]Kissing him softly on the lips, she smiles seeing his eyes light up with joy. Ending the brief morning kiss, Eve shot up to her feet with a quick brisk happiness. To her surprise, Ilythiirtar teleported behind her, wrapping his arms around her dropping his chin softly on her shoulder, playing gently with her this morning. Eve and Ilythiirtar just traded glances looking at Serenol and Mara sleeping soundly on their patch of ground together.[/I] [B]Eve & Ilythiirtar:[/B] (Thinking) ?Pay back time.? [I]Getting a couple carafes of water, Eve and Ilythiirtar just dump them on the two sleeping lovers, watching their eyes flash open with surprise. Grinning at the two, Eve and Ilythirrtar just laugh? Getting their fill for the morning?s prescribed laughter.[/I] [B]Serenol:[/B] (groveling) ?This is the least I could have expected? Hah?? [B]Mara:[/B] (taking it a bit lighter, laughing and shaking her fist at Eve playfully) ?Just you two wait!!!? [B]Eve:[/B] (countering) ?hehe, Anytime sister..? [I]The rest just stared on at the two couples, taking swigs from their flagons of water. Alriy, the only one who seemed to take this to heart, smiles, hoping one day to get this sort of happiness, gazed on contently. Thar, who was still far too unsure of what they were doing to care, just fell back asleep waiting to the last possible minute to get up. Lacroix, to everyone?s knowing was probably watching them from some hidden perch, but instead was actually sitting right beside Serenol.[/I] [B]Serenol:[/B] ?Wonder where Lacroix is right bout now?? [B]Ilythiirtar:[/B] (equally puzzled) ?Prolly off getting some food or something.? [B]Lacroix:[/B] (laughing, yet another rare chance to see this.) ?Have your senses completely baffled you?? [I]Walking out of the shadows of the grass, Lacroix had a huge grin on his face. Knowing he was not to be contended with at becoming invisible. Not even Ilythiirtar who seemingly had a knack for doing his dark secrets in, didn?t even spot him. This made Lacroix unusually happy. Must be his Twinkle... Doubtlessly recovering his skills quickly. Amazing what confidence can do. They just sat there smiling at one another as the morning trailed on.[/I][/COLOR]

[COLOR=sienna][I]After smiling for a second, his wounds clean for he did not receive much of any wounds during the battle, Ilythiirtar flips with all the grace of an elf into a nearby tree, while watching Lacroix lean on another nearby tree, he realizes that his mentor is much like him. Always observing the others, making sure the situation is clear. Always with his game-face clearly set upon his passive visage. Truly they were the watchers of the band.[/I] [B]Alriy:[/B] (still grumbling at the thought of the violated blessed land) ?Why here? This place has always been so sanative? Never a fight nor demonic presence. Why now?? [B]Ilythiirtar:[/B] (shouting down) ?Two reasons my friend, one of which must be true. Either they are homing in on us? Or something, someone! Else is the center of their evil nature? Someone driving them to us?? [B]Elsyan:[/B] (nodding) ?Agreed Illy.? [I]Flipping up to Ilythiirtar, Elsyan becons him to move over, for she wishes to converse without yelling.[/I] [B]Elsyan:[/B] ?You seem to have most of the answers, or at least enough brains to say your mind. What do you think we should do?? [B]Ilythiirtar:[/B] ?Is it that un-obvious? We must leave, because more destruction to this beautiful land, for there is not much of this beautiful land left in this world? Yes we must move ?find these relics. I alone cannot depict where to go, I just understand that we must move... Alriy would quite possibly hold the answers to where we should go.? [I]Teleporting beside Lacroix, Ilythiirtar gets a nod of approval. Elsyan jumps to Lauren whom already knows what is going on and agrees instantly. Alriy just simply brushes off his thoughts for the land and begins walking? Knowing fate already has decided for him to lead.[/I][/COLOR]

[COLOR=sienna][I]Surprisingly, Ilythiirtar jumps up and leaves Eve for the first time in hours. Gathering his mind, he amphoricates in front of Alriy, not really surprising him, just startling.[/I] [B]Alriy:[/B] ?What now? Come to kill the vampric presence?? [B]Ilythiirtar:[/B] (Embracing the Dhampire) ?Thank you my friend.? [I]Cocking his head at the Shadow Master, Alriy pushes him away and rears backwards, in defense. Smiling down, getting a good laugh, Ilythiirtar just grins as he walks back to Eve, blowing Alriy a joking kiss.[/I] [B]Ilythiirtar:[/B] (Chuckling with the others) ?Me thinks he is a lily bit homophobic.? [I]Alriy just winces at them going a much brighter version of red, as the blood fills his cheeks in embarrassment.[/I][/COLOR]

[COLOR=sienna][I]Looking at Eve, Mara and Ilythiirtar, Serenol recalls to himself a waterfall of mystic enchantment?Snapping out of it, he tells them that they must follow the dragon Ryuu to this mystic dungeon. Also beware that there are chances of finding hordes of Nilothakir?s minions. The now nine feet elongated wingspan of the dragon was easy enough to see from ground. So they followed, all in good spirits from their past days triumphs. Quietly, in the forest before the band of warriors, twelve Exiled Dragoons stood horseback, waiting with their maroon blades of filth drawn. The group walks directly into the trap?.Being ambushed by twelve horseback defiled knights wasn?t any of their idea of fun.[/I] [B]Lacroix:[/B] (Telepatically to Ilythiirtar who had his blades drawn at the same time he did) ?Come to me, we must work together.? [B]Ilythiirtar:[/B] ?Was thinking the same thing?? [I]Teleporting next to Lacroix, Ilythiirtar jumps before the first Dragoon, his scimitars flailing viciously. Lacroix dove in as well, one hand wielding Twinkle, the other with his silver scimitar dicing way? The rest of the group spread out, preparing to face the Dragoons with their fists, and blades?[/I][/COLOR] OOC: Someone else do the page breaker this time? hehe
