Axel--Ignition Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 [size=1][i]Axel sat on his bed in his room. This room of his was located near the outside wall of the castle of Galdion, right above his stables. He had just been handed a note from the king, whom he previously spoke privately with about an hour ago. He read the note: [center]We have gotten word of a fleet of soldiers coming our way. We have sent our first two fleets, but they are struggling due to the opponent?s vast army. Plus, we were unprepared. Yes, I have sent medics out, but all they?ve been able to do is carrying the injured back to the castle. Even their strong wills are starting to crack. This is where things should begin to matter to you. I?ve sent letters almost identical to this to our allied nations, asking for help. They are each going to send a unit as support. I want you to meet them near the closer side of the castle, the side where the battle is. At this point, you may not be able to charge the army, so you should get as far as you can and not let anyone pass you. Be careful of your new allies, some sound suspicious... -The King, Leon[/center] Axel stood up, his fight would commence in two hours, he checked his stables, the dragons are ready. He gave the dragons one last meal, then released them into the battle. He went to the back side of the castle, where the battle was; his dragon, Krodos, following him. He went to the back, and waited for the others to join him...[/i][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raiha Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 [COLOR=royalblue][i]Ganthor hissed through his fangs and tilted his head to one side. Nepenthe adjusted her seating and applied slight pressure to his right side. The two swoped down as one...female holding tight onto the reins of the beast, the male preparing for a smooth landing. Beneath her, she could see the back of the castle, and her aquaintance, Axel, waiting. They touched down smoothly, and she grabbed the haft of her spear. With a twist of her body, she leapt off his bare back and landed on all fours. The male walked over to the woman....smiling slightly. She grinned back, and kept her tight grip on the halter of her mount, knowing that at the slightest whiff of food, he would bolt.[/i] Axel: Welcome Nepenthe. Nepenthe: Salut. Axel. Seyruun hired me instead of the usual. Axel: And why's that? Nepenthe: My elder sister is now blind. Thanks to a brush with a dark drider, and a drake. So I got pulled in. Axel: That must be harsh. Nepenthe: My sister is wise. She can see auras well enough, and she will fight eventually. Right now she's resting. So I pulled the halter on Ganthor and came over. Pleased to see me?[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryo Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 [COLOR=darkblue][I]Ryowa was sitting down in the woods with his father's army. Since his father was killed he was the next in line to "inherit" his fathers army.[/I] Ryowa: Do you hear that? Warrior: What is it, sir? Ryowa: Something is heading our way... [I]All of a sudden a dragon appeared in the sky.[/I] Warrior: My god, is that a dragon... Ryowa: I haven't seen one of those in a while. Warrior: It's carrying something in its claws. [I]All of a sudden the dragon landed in front of Ryowa. Ryowa grasped his sword. But, the dragon droped the piece of paper and flew away.[/I] [I]Ryowa picked up the piece of paper and read it out loud. [/I] [I]It said: Dear elves, we need you alliance with us, humans. Please join us. I appologize for the inconvinient things my people did to your kind. But, fortunatly not all humans are horrible as they are. WE want to fight and stop all beings like those. I am sorry to inform you that we are in war. Not against you...but evil. Please help us. I have sent out notes like these to other races. Please meet us at the castle Galdion. We will be there, to welcome you.[/I] Sincerely, King Leon. Ryowa: Heh...let's go. Warrior: But, sir I thought you hated humans... Ryowa: I do...thats why we are going. [I]Ryowa immediatly got on Lightning and flew towards Galdion with his army right behind him...[/I] [I]It took him not long to get there. But, when he did he found a human with a dragon behind him waiting to greet him and another one with a strange creature. Both of them looked like they already knew he was coming. Ryowa didn't want to attack right away. Instead, he was preparing for the right moment. He ordered his troops to look for any other armies coming to Galdion while he listened and prepared in the sky. He shot and arrow in between the humans signaling he was there.[/I][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel--Ignition Posted January 4, 2003 Author Share Posted January 4, 2003 [size=1][i]The arrow was unnoticed and Ryowa has not yet been seen...[/i] Axel: Yes, Nepenthe... I am. Nepenthe: When do we get started? Axel: Once some others come, I have been given orders to wait, that is what I'll do. Nepenthe: I understand. Well, where are you from? Axel: I have no idea, and you? Nepenthe: I-- [i]She looks up, which catches Axel's attention. There was a dark and large shadow in the sky.[/i] Nepenthe: What is that? Axel: Probably another one... HEY! OVER HERE! Ryowa: Yeah! I see you just fine... human! Axel: ...? Do you have some thing against me? [i]Ryowa lands[/i] Ryowa: When do the battles begin, human? Axel: I have a name! I'm Axel Nessron, I have been given orders to-- Ryowa: Shut up! I do not care about your orders! I came here to kill humans, and you are one! Axel: What? [i]Axel finally notices the arrow.[/i] Axel: You tried to kill me![/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryo Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 Ryowa: No, elves are not like that. They put up a fair fight. They do not kill beigns from their back like you humans do. Elves wait until their opponents are ready.. Axel: Look, if you came here to kill me then you will have to wait. There is more important things to do. There is an army coming to conquer Galdion and to take over our lands. Ryowa: I care not for your lands human. I want to end your race and to let these lands be free and humanless. So draw you sword human, Im going to finish humans for once and for all. Axel: Why do you hate us? What do you have against us? Ryowa: That is of no importance to you. Like the lives of innocent elves.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raiha Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 [COLOR=royalblue][i]The female warrior drew out her staff and held it in an attacking position, legs threatening.[/i] Nepenthe: There are no innocents. We are all creatures of greed and disgust, living out our cramped lives, hoping we are something better. [i]Ryowa glared at her and she simpered back. Her beast knelt down, folding his wings across his back. This he had seen before, and had no desire to break between them.[/i] Nepenthe: I am no human. But an Itsari and an Elf. But I care not what my blood flow is, as long as I'm alive. Ryowa: You would defend this human? Nepenthe: Axel is my friend. By no means is he innocent, but he does not die.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel--Ignition Posted January 4, 2003 Author Share Posted January 4, 2003 [size=1]Axel: Look stranger! I care not about your past anguishes, but not all humans are like that. I know this because I am not like that of which you describe! Ryowa: Why would [i]that[/i] matter to me? I will extinguish all humans from this planet! [i]Ryowa lunged at Axel. Both warriors drew their swords. Axel refused to swing, except to guard him from the attacks of his elvish opponent.[/i] Ryowa: You destroy our villiages, pilfer our lands! Axel: Tell me, why are humans fighting humans!? [i]Ryowa stops[/i] Axel: They are the Western Order! They are the ones with immense greed. They are the ones who hold your land. ...I first saw them in the [i]former[/i] dwarfish town of Bocgi. Those dwarves are no more... Ryowa: Why didn't you stop them? Why didn't you save the dwarves?

Ryo Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 [I]Ryowa couldn't believe it. He put his sword away[/I] Ryowa: Scared?! Axel: Yes... Ryowa: How could you be scared?!? Those are the lives of innocent dwarves. [I]Suddenly and elf landed from the sky with his griffin[/I] Ryowa: What is it?!? Warrior: We have seen and felt something terrible coming! We can not feel it. All we can feel, is evil dwelling from it's heart. Ryowa: For once, you were right....human. Axel: Let's go....inside the castle, everyone!

Raiha Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 [COLOR=royalblue][i]Nepenthe rolled her eyes. Typical of the elves. Attack first, ask questions later, assume the worst. She spun her staff to her back shoulder strap and turned to her beast. She chuckled and twittered at it, and it rose to his feet. She took off his halter, then slapped his rump affectionately. Ganthor took off in a blaze of red energy and disapeared.[/i] Ryowa: ....what now woman? Nepenthe: My name is Nepenthe Sevenstar, older of the Sixth crown. I will thank you to address my as so. [i]He glared at her, and she glared back. Silver pools of light, glistening with energy. Axel stepped between them and walked towads the castle. Nepenthe grimaced and bared her teeth at him, then swaggered after Axel.[/i][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhys Mayiessen Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 [color=navy][i]Rhys walked into the glade where her mother the Queen of her Clan resided.[/i] Rhys: You called my Queen? Queen: I know what you plan to do and I will not let you go. [i]Rhys squared her shoulders and looked at her Mother in the eye[/i] Rhys: I will go and you can't stop me! Queen: Why help the humans? Why risk your life in a silly human war? Rhys: Because it is our world too and I will not stand her and watch it deminsh. [i] She wistled and a big gold dragon came fly into the glade.

[i]She turns around to discover a dragon towering over her. She lets out a short, quiet scream and quickens her pace.[/i] Axel: Heh, not like he bites. Nepenthe: Not like he needs to... Axel: Gotta point... he breathes fire. [i]Axel stops[/i] Axel: We're here. Nepenthe: Aren't you going to open it? Axel: Nah... Nepenthe: Why? [i]Her curiosity turns the handle[/i] Nepenthe: !!!

Raiha Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 [COLOR=royalblue][i]She groaned and snapped the halter between her hands. Axel grimaced and sidestepped quickly. Her rage began to solidify into a silver aura, pulsing around her purple and red clad body.....then it disapeared.[/i] Nepenthe: Come on. Put your pet away, and let's go. Axel: ...PET?!?!? Nepenthe: Don't make me call my own. Get going, we've got to save the world. [i]His eyes did that anime pop thing, and he stared at her like she was crazy.

Kain Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 Hotsuma rode his dragon toward the castle of Galdion.When he got there he signaled for Red Eyes to drop him down.Hotusma jumped down to Axel's position and landed on one knee. Hotsuma: Axel Nessron I presume? Axel: That's me.You are? Hotsuma: Hotsuma leader of the Oboro clan.I received a letter from the king to come join in battle. Ryowa: Great,nother human.

Axel--Ignition Posted January 4, 2003 Author Share Posted January 4, 2003 [size=1][i]Axel puts two large fowls into the pen then adds Krodos, who immediately devours them.[/i] Axel: Well, he was hungry today! Nepenthe: I think we finally have enough people to do some damage. Ryowa: Yes! Lets get this thing over with so we can go home! Axel: Right!

Ryo Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 Hotsuma: Your mother needs to teach you some manners, elf! [I]Ryowa draws his bow and points the arrow straight at Hotsumas face[/I] Axel: Settle down, Ryowa. Ryowa: No human tells me to settle down. Nepenthe: No. But and elf will. Ryowa: Close your mouth, you halfling. Nepenthe: I've had enough of you outrage. [I]Nepenthe draws her sword[/I] Hotsuma: Remove the bow now. [I]Ryowa draws it even further then removes it[/I] Ryowa: As I said, I will not attack an opponent when he is not ready. [I]Nepenthe put's her sword away[/I] [I]As Ryowa walks off into the forest he saw some thing that he had never seen before.[/I] Ryowa: So, they finally arrived at the castle. Axel: What is it?

Rhys Mayiessen Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 [color=navy][i]Rhys spotted a small group moving away from the castle Galdion. She bid Sagesse to move down lower and noticed that this was the band that she was to join. She landed Sagesse right in front of them.[/i] Hotsuma: Oh great just what we need another elf. Have you come to attack us as well? Rhys: No I have come to help. Why is there another elf here? Ryowa: Yes I am an elf though I have not come to help any of human kind [i]Rhys looked at Ryowa light coloured skin and frowned.[/i] Rhys: You do not look like an elf. You must be from a very different clan. Ryowa: And I would say the same to you. Axel: Greetings Elf. [i]He turned to the group[/i] Let us not have anymore fighting remember we are all fighting for the same cause.

Corey Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 I stepped slowly from the shadows of a nearby building. [b]Ryan-[/b] "The first battle, my comrades, will be at the Plains of Dystile. The Western forces have been massing there for months. We have let them be only because our numbers have been weak. Not everyone is here yet. Ten there must be. Six there are. On behalf of the resitance of Galdion, I invite you all to stay at the castle untill everyone arrives. Axel, I must speak with you." I motioned toward the opening gates of the castle and slowly pulled Axel away from the others. "We must be out of the range of Elvish ears by now..." [b]Axel-[/b] "What is it?" I lowered my boice and looked into his eyes. [b]Ryan-[/b] "Axel... They have Silvs." His eyes snapped open and his pupils became very small. [b]Axel-[/b] "What do you mean? Who told you!" I grabbed his hand silencing him. [b]Ryan-[/b] "Lower your voice. It was one of the scouters. He reported seeing an entire meadow filled with tied down Silvs." His head dropped. I looked at the group and saw the Elf, Ryowa, looking at me. I gave her my warmest smile. "The gates are just a bit further. We will be right there." [b]Axel-[/b] "How could they get Silvs so fast? It takes years to breed Silver Dragons. They must have started when the war began..." I clapped a hand on his shoulder. [b]Ryan-[/b] "We will talk of possible strategies tonight. I don't want to worry the others, although I belive that Ryowa has heard too much already." I picked up my pace and was soon at the front of the group. "Just a little further my friends. The warmth of the castle awaits." Ryowa grumbled but kept to himself. The castle gates creaked open and the six went in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nataniamon Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 [i]The six entered the castle's great hall and were stunned by a large creature at the hearth of the fire place. The creature looked at them with golden eyes that were like pools of liquid gold.[/i] Axel-I did not know that you had that type of creature. Ryan-That is not ours. I have no clue what that thing is. [i]Everyone in the hall drew their weapons. The creature just layed its feathered and scaled head head onto its clawed feet and kept a golden eye on them. A shadow moved in the room. [/i] I would not do that if i were you-said a soft voice. [i]The shadow was suddenly in front of the group. A long, very delicate looking arrow was at Ryan's forehead[/i] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raiha Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 [COLOR=royalblue][i]Nepenthe pushed her way to the front, arms spread out in a gesture of peace. She bowed her head low. Her body in a posture of humbleness and calm behavior.[/i] Ryan: Ee.... Nepenthe: Please excuse us. We did not know it was yours. [i]The figure removed the arrow, and stood easy, staring at the female quietly. The two stared at eachother, and Nepenthe's mouth moved without the rest of her body. A silent conversation took place quickly between the two women, passing faster than the other humans and elves could figure......then Nepenthe smiled and held out one hand.[/i] Nepenthe: Nepenthe Sevenstar.

Juu Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 [color=deeppink] [size=1]Laitina laid by the spring, eyes dazed, hands fondling the calm waters of the pool. It was peaceful, the waterfall soothing. The dew still glistened from dawn. The sun was still rising in the east, a new day had yet to begin. Her hands were cold, eyes motionless, hair gently blowing at the morning breeze. She looked up at the mauve clouds and lavender skies. The trees were swaying, singing their songs. The blossoms were kissing the air, arms stretched to touch the sun's warmth. She caressed her hand against the grass. Something felt close...[/color] [/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Harlequin Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 [font=gothic][color=crimson]OOC: I've got to start paying attention.... Hell, who cares. Saving the world. Tch. IC: Lacroix: Bunch of paranoid bastards, the entire lot of you. [I]Immediately, two arrows flew into a shadowy alcove in the corner of the hall. Both made a soft, fleshy thud. The voice continued, unperterbed.[/I] Lacroix: If you'll excuse me. [I]What appeared to be a walking robe stepped out of the shadows, walking calmly over to the fireplace, kicking it around until it was severely dimmed. Turning, it shrugged the hood of the cloak off, and freed his four arms.[/I] Axel: Does anyone else accept me find it strange that we have winged, four armed pillar of darkness walking towards us? Nepenthe: Looks Lythanoid. Lacroix: Very good. That's exactly what I am. My circumstances are just somewhat bizarre. I'm undead. Speaking of that... [I]He moved the cloak slightly exposing two arrows sticking out of his stomach. He casually pulled them out, and tossed them onto a table. They were bloody, but had no chunks of flesh attached.[/I] Lacroix: A Lythanoid's body is pure muscle. Undead don't really care about wounds. Arrows, no problem. Ryowa: And what do you want demon? [I]The figure's head seemed to turn, and Ryowa felt the grip of invisible eyes on him.[/I] Lacroix: You are really going to piss me off... Basically, you're all here to save the world or something along those lines. I'm here to make sure you don't mess it up. Ryowa: Anyone got a hungry dragon we can feed him to? Lacroix: I imagine Alqwerik would object. [I]On cue, a long, sinuous beast walked in, ducking under the door way. The creature by the fireside reared up in alarm, before a sharp word from the creature's master settled it. Alqwerik stalked along to Lacroix's side, taking in the beings around his companion. It sniffed, and then, to everyone's surprise spoke.[/I] Alqwerik: We're consorting with this rabble now? [I]The creature by the fireside again reared up, making noises of alarm. Lacroix was unconcerned, talking in an almost scholarly tone.[/I] Lacroix: Everything does that. You should have heard the argument it had a few mintues ago when we first got here. Someone's dragon, and I think there was a gryphon, seemed really determined to stop us landing. Something about an abomination. Ryowa: I understand that. Alqwerik: Luckily for you they didn't manage to catch me mortal. Ryowa: You want to find out if you can die beast? Axel: That's enough. [I]Lacroix muffled a laugh, then stepped back into the now very deep shadows. Alqwerik went with him, and to all eyes, the two disappeared.[/I] Alqwerik: You'd better have a damn good reason for this. Lacroix: Trust me.[/font][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raiha Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 [COLOR=royalblue][i]The female half breed chuckled and leaned on her staff. The beast was adorable....and she was positive that Ganthor wouldn't mind sharing the fight with the drake. The other female in attendance watched Nepenthe's reaction dubiously. How could she be happy about this. After a time, Lacroix and his beast came back to the light....calmer. Somewhat. Nepenthe stepped forward once more but did not extend a hand. She tipped her staff to one side and bowed her head slightly.[/i] Nepenthe: Salut. Lacroix. And you...Alqwerik. Alqwerik: ....do you ride a beast named Ganthor? Nepenthe: What makes you think that? Alqwerik: You smell like him. [i]She smiled and showed him the leather reins wrapped around her waist. Then Nepenthe shrugged and leaned to one side. The others would have to get over their paranoia of the demon alot faster than she did.[/i][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nataniamon Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 [i]The shadow that had been forgotten when Lacriox had entered stepped forward. The figure moved over to her beast and placed a calming hand on its side.[/i] Shhh...Rouk. We are here to help them so do not be afread.- she said. [i]Removing her hood of her cloak she leaned against her freind's side. She let her raven hair down from its trap and dropped the rest of the cloak. Standing staight again she placed the cloak over the beast and softly padded over the the group that was conversing. All four of her fox paws made no sound as she stepped beside the one they called Axel.[/i] My name is Ravwrin El.- she said. [i] Axel drew his sword startled.[/i] Axel: You should know not to creep up on a warrior. You may just kill yourself that way. [i]Ravwrin rolled her eyes and shifted a little. Her bushy fox tail twitched and she narrowed her eyes at him.[/i] Axel: Now that I know your name. What kind of creature are you? Your kind has not been seen here before.

Corey Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 I extended my hand to the Foxutar. [b]Ryan-[/b] "I am Ryan Schezar of the Galdion Resistance. We are pleased to have you here." I moved cautiously over to the Lythanoid. I extended my hand to him, aswell. "Lacroix of the Lythanoid's, we welcome your help, whatever it may be." He looked at my hand for a moment. [b]Lacroix-[/b] "A most curious custom. I will indulge your odd companionable gesture." He held out his own hand. I was met with four claws. Hesitantly, I shook his hand. I waited for the moment those claws would pierce my skin, purposely or other. It didn't come. I smiled at him and was met with an invisible stare. [b]Ryan-[/b] "Soon, all will be here. Abnd we can start our conquest to the Plains." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
