tursi Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 Xanthia sat there thinking, she sighed. She didn't like it when it was so quiet. She felt antsy, she wasn't used to staying in one place so long, to her it was bad luck. She looked at orin. Xanthia: Did anyone tell you you're really pretty? orin: pretty? is that the right term when adressing a boy. Xanthia: i don't know, i think you're pretty. orin: well then, no, no ones told me that. Xanthia: and your wings are pretty too. How does it feel to have wings? do you feel free when you use them? Orin: what do you mean? Xanthia: i've always wanted to fly away. Orin: intresting. Xanthia: yeah...interesting... Xanthia got up feeling confused, and walked towards the fire. she felt a hand on her shoulder and then felt her body shiver. Orin: you ok? Xanthia: yeah, i'll be fine.

Carren Heart Posted February 2, 2003 Author Share Posted February 2, 2003 [I] Orin looks at Xanthia, slightly confused. [/I] Orin <>: Do I make you feel weird? Because if i do, I can wait ... somewhere else. OOC: Don't really wanna decide your response, sorry for short post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tursi Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 Xanthia: yeah, i guess, when i'm around you i feel something that i've never felt before, i can't really describe. Orin: then i'll- Xanthia: please, stay, no need to go off, especialy before dark. I'll be fine. Orin: you sure. Xanthia: (smiles) i'm positive. now lets get this stuff off the fire before it burns. They grabed the cooked meat off the sticks and let them cool before the others came. Xanthia sat the trunk of a tree and relaxed and orin sat across from her, as they waited in silence.

Carren Heart Posted February 3, 2003 Author Share Posted February 3, 2003 [I]After eating and relaxing for a while Xanthia fell a sleep. Orin stood up and marveled at the night sky looking toward the majestic beautify of the stars. An hour passes like a minute, Orin looks over toward Xanthia and ponders leaving. A sound can be heard an the distance and two figures approached talking quietly to themselves as Orin notices Arikel and Cador coming over to them.[/I] Cador: << Noticing Orin >> Hey you look bummed man, you okay? Orin: Am fine. Arikel: Sorry Orin bad news, the rebellion was went north. Orin: North? << shakes his head >> No, their going to attack. Arikel: Attack what? Orin: There is a small outpost of Demon-blooded they have pondered its destruction for some time. Cador: So what do we do! Orin: We do nothing, I will go and find them while you all find a place to hide out for a while. Arikel: why don't you wish to have us join you? Orin: You need not put yourselves in danger any longer, they will hunt me down and I can't protect myself none the less you. Cador: I have my reasons to why I help you Orin I'll going with one way or another! Orin: You'll never be able to catch up to me if I fly. Arikel: that would just be abandoning us Orin. Orin: << Looks down >> Listen I'll bring you all to a peaceful little village the demon's don't yet know of and then you'll all be safe. Cador: If I go anywhere I'd go back home. Orin: << Tear or two >> You no longer have a home. Arikel and Cador: What!? Orin: There is nothing but death and anguish there. Arikel: Dead? All of them. Orin: Raised as the undead I'm afraid, so you can see its far to dangerous to go with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartless Me Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 Cadors anger was rising, but Arikel stayed ever calm eyed. Arikel: You say you can take us to a village the demons don't know of, yet..... that means that they will find out.. and what then? we are dead anyway. I am sure, Orin, that Cador here would like the chance to avenge his townmates. I myself, I have lived a long life, please Orin. As my wish to you an angel, Let me end my life with an adventure. An adventure to top all others. One with people I trust... Arikel looked pleadingly into orins eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tursi Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 Xanthia heard the conversation going on in her sleep. She wished she wouldn't be left out of these things. she forced her eyes open and stood up. She walked over and leaned on cadors shoulder. Xanthia: aw, come on orin. you know you need us. Cador: you know what's going on? Xanthia: you guys talk louder then you think. listen, i want revenge for my sister, cador wants revenge for everyone, and arikel shares a wish for all of us, to have the greatestt adventure of our lives. Plus, i would be very upset if you got captured again, or even killed, you are our friend, and lets fight side by side as friends, till the end. what do you say? (pause) to the end? Xanthia places her hand into the little circle they had made. and waits for everyones answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackHeart Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 Cador clenched his fists and looked at Orin. This angel had saved his life and yet he was the cause of his village's destruction. Tears' began to well in his eyes. Cador: Orin my family, my friends?there gone! YOU EXPECT ME TO SIT BACK AND WAIT?!?! That's what my father did when they took my mother. I'll be damned if I'm gonna do that. I left because I heard you Orin. We all chanced everything on your words. Now you want us to hide! That's all we've ever done Orin! Arikels right?one-way or another they will find us. All our lives we have coward from the demons. Tears began to fall as he looked away. Cador: Orin?I have nothing left. I'll follow you can't stop me...You've done something you may shouldn't have...you gave us hope Orin...don't take that away. I want to do something of worth before I die. Please let me do that Cador wiped the tears from his eyes and placed his hand in the circle. Cador: Besides?there is no way I'm gonna let Xan have all the fun. ::winks:: To the end?

Carren Heart Posted February 4, 2003 Author Share Posted February 4, 2003 [I]Orin looked at the three somewhat worried about the whole vengeance thing but he saw the will burning inside them the desire to fight. He had always read about the great human spirit but until now he had seen a lapse with it and he felt that perhaps with their help he could survive. Orin walked up to the three companions and put his hand out to join the circle.[/I] Orin: to the end ? my friends ? to the end. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mean While at the Taro'us mountain pass ? ? ? ? [I]A large band of demons guard an enormous wagon. Inside the wagon Yenit and the Nag'a Commander who's name still is unknown plan horrid things while through mystical means spy on the group of four.[/I] Commander Yenit: I have no clue whom the old man or the woman is, but that young fellows name is Cador. Nag'a Commander: How do you know of him? Commander Yenit: << Grins >> his mother is my plaything back home I paid for a pair of lackeys to abduct her, about fifth teen years ago I do believe. Nag'a Commander: Excellent commander how convenient, well then send a message to bring her here, she will be great bait. Commander Yenit: Yes sir! With the girl's sister and the boy's mother all we need is suitable bait for the old man. Nag'a Commander: The old you don't need to worry about I remember him from the chaos war, a scholar of sorts but no fighter separating him is just a matter of time and gathering of lost knowledge. Commander Yenit: So, when do we plan it all sir? Nag'a Commander: perhaps a week after Cador's mother has come when is the earliest you can get her? Commander Yenit: in about one week sir, I promise. Nag'a Commander: that will do nicely, until then I want you to send a group of seven Demon-Blooded and two Bacus to hunt them. Hopefully they'll kill them. Commander Yenit: Right away sir! << Exits the wagon >> [I]The Nag'a looks back at the orb and shakes his head.[/I] Nag'a Commander: Half Angel/ Half Devil, you will be my greatest enemy to date. As for your human friends I won't count on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tursi Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 Xanthia was so overwelmed with glee that she went and gave everyone a hug. Then she stepped back and smiled. Xanthia:um..sorry about that. Arikel: it's ok xanthia. Xanthia: right, but now's the time to ride. cador: how come you always tell us when to leave. Xanthia: would you like to stay around to find out? (silence) didn't think so. well lets get a move on, the less things we carry the better for now, until we get more horse, they won't be able to carry us all. Orin: ok. They quickly disasembled camp and grabbed some vital things and placed them in small bags on the horses. Xanthia and orin got on their horse, and arikel and cador on the mare. Xanthia: orin, you're going to have to lead lead us, cause i have no clue where we're off to. She hands him the reins. Orin: fine, lets go. He nudged the horse and they went into a qucik trot north, hopefully to find what they were looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartless Me Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 The group of three humans and an angel had traveled the greater part of the day and most everyone was tired so when Arikel suggested that they rest and camp for the night, everyone was inclined to agree. The angel may have not needed rest or sleep but he understood that mortals did so he even helped them set up camp. Cador: So does anyone know what is really going to happen? Arikel: Well the demons are a very tactical and military race. They'll try every way they can to destroy us with any means they can from military force to blackmail. Orin: He is right. Unfortunately the demons are also intelligent to match their strength and endurance. On the upside for us, they are also brash and overconfidant. Xanthia: So when we show them what we are REALLY made of they won't know what hit them. Arikel: Hopefully. Arikel lays down in his tent and with his old age he quickly and soundly falls into a deep sleep not to awaken on his own until the dawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carren Heart Posted February 5, 2003 Author Share Posted February 5, 2003 [I]Orin sat down watching his mortal friends get ready and fall asleep being as he was uninjured there was no need for any kind of rest unless he'd for some reason want to sleep but not this night he'd stay up on watch. About half way through the night Orin heard Cador tossing and turning saying something about his mother it seemed to trouble him abit so Orin woke him from the dream.[/I] Cador: What? Orin: You where having a bad dream Cador. Cador: << Looks tired >> Thanks I guess. Orin: if its any comfort she still lives. Cador: << Grabbing the color of Orin's shirt >> how do you know? Orin: << Putting hands on Cador shoulders >> angel's have the ability to see hope within the world and seeing your mother alive in well is something I guess you hope for. Cador: << easies down >> She alive? Orin: yes, very alive and in good health I'd say. Cador: now how would you know that? Orin: if someone cares deeply for something I also have the ability to know if you'd be saddened or happy and why, I know that hearing she is alive and in good health comforts you. Cador: << Looking down >> thanks, but what would I not want to hear that you know? Orin: I shouldn't tell you ? Cador: << Interrupting >> Just do it Orin! Orin: << Looking at him >> a demon keeps her and he doesn't treat her well. Cador: << Sighs >> okay, I need to take a walk Orin I'll be back later. Orin: Okay, ? sorry Cador. [I]Orin watches as Cador walks quietly into the forest, the noise wakes Xanthia. [/I] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tursi Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 Xanthia rose from her spot on the ground and walked to orin. Xanthia: what happened? orin: cador had a bad dream, so he went into the forest, do you think he'll be alright Xanthia: well he shouldn't have gone in there alone in the dark. but besides that i'm sure he'll be ok. Orin: right. Xanthia placed her hand on his shoulder and smiled. Xanthia: don't worry, if something happens to him, we'll be able to feel a change in the air, trust me on this. Orin: ok. She sat next to him and looked to the sky. Orin: xan? you ok? Xanthia: yeah, just feeling a little lame. (pauses) listen orin, i feel bad for how i acted the other night. makeing you feel rejected and all. i just haven't been touched by anyone before, unless i touch them first. so it's just an odd feeling. orin: oh, sorry. Xanthia: it's ok, i should've told you. (holds out her hand) friends? Orin: (taking her hand) friends. Xanthia smiled and they sat watching the stars and waiting for cador.

Heartless Me Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 morning had come shortly after and Arikel had awoken at dawns first light. As Xanthia prepared breakfast, Arikel went to get some water. By the time he returned, Cador still hadn't returned. Arikel gave a worried look to Orin and Xanthia. Arikel: Cador's been gone for a while. Had something happened while I slept? Orin: He just needed some alone time. He is fine. Xanthia: Yeah, I am sure he'll be along shortly. Arikel nodded slowly and pulled a book from his bag and studied it quietly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carren Heart Posted February 7, 2003 Author Share Posted February 7, 2003 Meanwhile ? [I]A small band of Demon-blooded and two Bacus were gathered to hunt a unique enemy, Being informed of an angel threat and three mortal "followers" of this angel. The Bacus and their Blooded readied with care for a hard battle.[/I] Commander Yenit: Its quite simple the blooded saw deal with the mortals and you two fight the angel, understood! The Two Bacus: Yes Sir! We understand Sir! [I]The small group ran into the forest seeking the angel and his companions. [/I] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackHeart Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 Cador was wandering. His thoughts lost on his mother. Was Orin right? He was an angel. Was there hope? He looked to the morning sky. His friends were pry worrying about him now?.his only friends. Cador: I'll save you mom?somehow Cador shook his head as he began walking back to camp. He saw Xanthia and Orin were awake. Arikel was quietly reading. Xanthia was the first to notice him. Xanthia: Hey, did ya have a nice walk? Cador: Yeah, It was alright?could have been better though. Arikel: Good thing your back, we need to get moving again. Can't waste any daylight now. Cador: I figured that. ::Looking at Orin:: Where to fearless leader? Orin:?we run? Xanthia: Why? Orin: Because we're being hunted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tursi Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 Xanthia: right. Xanthia hops onto her faithful steed, and offers orin a hand up. Cador: shouldn't we take something with us. Xanthia: only what you go on your back. no time to waste. Orin: lets hurry. Orin hopped on infonrt of Xanthia, which startled her because she usually rode infornt. Then they started into a fast gallop, with cador and arikel close behind. She held on tight to orin as they flew past the town. Xanthia: Orin, they aren't far behind, how'll we get out of this one? orin: do youu know the back routes? Xanthia: what? here? i know the sighns of one, but they're risky. Orin: can you see one up ahead? theres tales of one up there. Xanthia peered ahead and pointed to a mark in a tree. Xanthia: turn left behind thie tree. there should be a well hiden cave behind the waterfall. there's passages into a cave system that ends up to the next town. Orin: all that from a tree. Xanthia: you can only imagine. Orin turned the horse ahead and cador followed. Xanthia: we'll need to hid the horses tracks, or we'll be easily followed.

Carren Heart Posted February 10, 2003 Author Share Posted February 10, 2003 [I]Orin looked beyond at the tracks and with a wave of his hand they disappeared.[/I] Orin: It temporary but it'll do for now! [I]The group broke a clearing the sounds of rushing waters filled the air as a crystal clear waterfall could be seen. Stopping the horse Orin looks over at Cador and Arikel.[/I] Orin: alright, I believe I can do this again Cador I'll give you some speed to go with that strength, and Arikel << Smiles >> would you like some youth returned? Arikel: Youth? Why of course! Cador: Sweet Speed! [I]Orin focus as he raised his hand to them a brilliant bluish gray light bolted out and struck the two granting Cador with speed it match his Strength and Arikel of the Resilience body of youth. (Congratulations Cador and Arikel your characters gained a angelic gift).[/I] Orin: << Looking over at Xanthia >> I have to rest before granting the speech of Nature to you Xanthia. Xanthia: << Grins >> does that mean I'll be able to speak with animals? Orin: Yes it does, I fix's you well. [I]Xanthia Slightly hugged Orin as he guided the Horse to the Caves behind the waterfalls.

tursi Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 As they entered they cave, it was dark and damp, she took the reins away from orin. Xanthia: we walk from here. Just because it's hidden doesn't mean it's not bobby trapped. They nodded and got off the horses, she grabed two torches from the wall, lit them and gave on to cador. Xanthia: cador, we're looking for a thin, but strong, string on the floor, it will guide us through the many diffrent paths. cador: ok The put the torch to the floor and started to look, cador found it first. Cador: this it? Xanthia: yeah, let me see it. Cador hands it to xanthia and she tugs on it to make sure it's still tight. Xanthia: ok follow me and watch your step.

Heartless Me Posted February 11, 2003 Share Posted February 11, 2003 The cave was unusually dark, even with the torches they carried, the darkness seemed to snuff out the torch light within several feet. But the one thing the darkness couldn't snuff out was their smell. Arikel: Xanthia, no offense to you but this cave reeks. Orin: I would have to agree. The cave carried the odor of stale musky air and the strong stench of half rotting lichen. Arikel puts his robe over his nose but it helps little. While in doing so he didn't notice the foot panel infront of him, but someone else did. Cador: Arikel look out! But it was too late, he had depressed the foot panel and a loud sound was heard in the distance behind them. Xanthia: Arikel, Run! Everyone broke out into a full speed run as it suddenly became evident that they were being chased by a giant round boulder rolling down the corridor.

tursi Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 Xanthia kept her eyes in front of her till the opening widened to three other caves, she grabed orins hand and went to the left one, hoping everyone follows. Xanthia: hurry, the rope leads this way. All she got was an affirmative noise from orins as he grabed cadors hand who grabed arikels hand. She felt thiis to be very elementry. but she had no choice. right when everyone entered the cave, the boulder blocked off the pasages. Xantthia: everyone alright? THey all nodded and continued down the path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carren Heart Posted February 13, 2003 Author Share Posted February 13, 2003 [I]Orin Looked back at the Giant boulder as it faded from view.[/I] Orin: Strange traps, I would have to say. Xanthia: That one I don't remember being down here! Cador: Hopefully those things hunting us didn't hear anything. Arikel: Chance is they didn't but still we should press onward. << Looking over at Orin >> there is something I most ask you Orin, how is it that you empower us with these ? well gifts? Orin: << While still walking onward >> it's actually simple, I give you that part of me and sort of relearn them later. Cador: Wait, so you gave me some of your strength and speed? Orin: Yes Cador, and Arikel a part of my life span to renew his aged body. Xanthia: If you do that enough won't you die? Orin: Sort of if matters if I relearn or get back it shape so to speak. Cador: that is awesome! Hey when you can throw me some wings or holy sword and stuff. [I]Everyone laughs a little.[/I] Orin: Funny Cador, funny. But I don't think I can give wings and I don't have a "holy" sword. Cador: I know, I know, joking. Arikel: << Stopping >> shouldn't we train then? Cador: yeah that gets you more powerful << Looking at Orin >> and will get us some actual safe training in. Xanthia: It would be helpful to know how to fight better then we do. Orin: I guess we could for a little bit. Arikel: How about a week in this cave. Xanthia: I know a place in here we could sleep and I could hunt outside at night. Cador: I'll stand watch when she does incase there is problems. Orin: I guess it sounds good for now. The group continued to travel down the dark cave, until finding the place of which Xanthia spoke of where they agreed to train for one week. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OOC: this is rather simple just post a couple of skills you have learned, then list three different abilities you'd like Orin to imbue you with and I (Carren Heart) will inform you which he was able to or which fixes the storyline/character the best. Other then that Tursi, your character gets the speak to animals gift started earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
