RPG Sealers of Kartan

[GuyYouMetOnline]

Here we go. Oh, one thing I forgot to mention in the Recruitment thread is that a human with a pact bears a mark. The location of the mark depends on the pact-price. The location of each character's mark is included in the list below.



Here's a list of characters and pact-beasts, along with the pact-price and location of mark (Name/Pact-beast/Pact-beast's name/Pact-price/Location of mark):


Takuya(me): Jaht/Phoenix/Anzunden/Smell/Nose

Cat14: Luna/Dragon/Spike/Voice/Neck

ArunueShekamari: Otto/Golem/Bane/Feeling/Palms of hands

shadowofdeath13: Tir/Griffin/Sleipnir/Voice/Neck

Kieko(Pending): Kimii/Spirit pair/Lumina and Shade/Reproductive ability/Abdomen

Marcus_Beuford: Leo/Dragon/Ketoro/Sight/Eyes

ColourDeaf: Sueldan/Does not have a pact

Ohkami: Rayna/Spirit pair/Undine and Salamander/Reproductive ability/Abdomen

Arika: Drusille/Spirit pair/Gnome and Jinn/Reproductive abillity/Abdomen



Now that that's done, it's time to start the story. Marcus_Beuford and Ohkami, I forgot to mention that you didn't include character class in your sign-up. Please state your character's class(Mercenary, guardian of Vaxla, soldier) in your first post.

Oh, one more thing. Telepathic dialog will be enclosed in [brackets] in my posts. You can use brackets, or you can use something else, but please have some way of differentiating between normal and telepathic speech

-----------------------------------------------------

Jaht and Vaxla walked through the corridors of Easter Stronghold. They were heading outside to welcome Vaxla's arriving guardians. When they exited through the main door, Jaht immediatly looked for a soldier named Tir Caladbolg, who was stationed outside the door. "Any sign of them yet?" he asked.

[No,] Tir replied mentally. He had lost his voice in a pact, but he could still communicate telepathically with his pact beast, and with all humans who had pacts and their pact-beasts. Both Jaht and Vaxla had pacts. Jaht's pact was with the pheonix Anzunden, and the price was his sense of smell. Vaxla's pact was with the unusually powerful fairy Klari. Even though Klari was powerful enough to take on phoenixes and some dragons, Vaxla's price was merely her sense of taste.

Vaxla was one of the five Sealers who kept secret the locations of the five Chambers. Four of the Sealers were already in the hands of Droston and Opralo. Only Vaxla was left. If she was captured and revealed the location of her Chamber, nobody truly knew what would happen, except for maybe Vaxla and the other four Sealers.

"They're late," Jaht said. "How did I guess?"

Vaxla chuckled. "Patience, Jaht. They'll be here."

--------------------------------------------------------------

OOC: Introduce your character appropriatly (guardians of Vaxla will arrive at Eastern Stronghold, wheras soldiers are already there and would maybe happen to be by the main entrance when the guardians arrive. Cat14 and ColourDeaf, read the PM I sent, pick from the options, and introduce your character occordingly (if you pick the first option, you'll be ariving with the guardians, and if you pick the second, you'll be en route to Eastern Stronghold, or maybe already there and observing). And have fun.

[U][B][B]OOC:[/B] I've editted it!![/B][/U] Is their spirit forms right, Takuya?

[COLOR=Navy]Rayna hurried along the halls, she was going to be late if she didn't hurry, and Vaxla didn't like her guardians being late. Undine and Salamander walked next to her. They both had human forms which everyone was used to.
Undine was a beautiful lady with long, wavy, ocean blue hair and she wore a dress of turquoise blue. Her eyes were pools of crystal blue. Salamander was a buff man, his hair was flaming red and he wore a black button up shirt with a few flames embroidered on it and red pants. His eyes were a deep crimson that burned with an inner flame.

They walked briskly along side her towards the Eastern Stronghold. Rayna approached the doors, Undine and Salamander stood behind her on either side. She made sure she looked calm and collected before pushing open the doors. She walked inside with her spirits following her.

"I'm sorry I'm late Vaxla. Hello Jaht." Rayna greeted.

Jaht nodded to her, and Vaxla excused her. Undine and Salamander just stood with her. Undine had the same warm smile she always wore on her face and Salamander just carried a steady gaze.

Rayna asked them to revert to their natural states until they were needed. They both nodded. Salamander was engulfed in fire and he started to shrink until he was a smallish flame with eyes and a mouth. Undine was surrounded by water and reverted to a blob of water, the same size as Salamander, with eyes and a mouth. Rayna bent down and picked them up and placed them on her shoulders where they usually stayed, always aware in case there was danger.

The heat from Salamander didn't affect her because of Salamander's powers that enabled her to withstand any amount of heat, and Undine was just a bubble full of water which didn't get her wet in any way.

"So who are we waiting for?" Rayna asked.[/COLOR]

[FONT=Book Antiqua][SIZE=2][COLOR=SeaGreen]O.C.C.- [quote]and Vaxla didn't like his guardians being late.[/QUOTE]

Isn't Vaxla a girl? :rolleyes:

I.C.- Otto Kall looked around. He was almost there, he wouldn't run. He held his hammer against his shoulder and slightly back. His pact-beast, a young golem, walked beside him. [Come on, Bane, you'r slowin down. We're late as it is.] Otto stated, telepathically to the golem. [Well now, aren't we in a rush?] Bane replied, telapathically, with a hint of sarcasim.
Otto shook his head. "Ah! Here we are." He said quietly to himself as he aproched the large doors. He put on a sideways smile and proceded inside. Vaxla had her arms crossed and was lookin around.
"Sorry for the wait on my part," Otto said softly. He came up to her and took her hand. He then kneeled and kissed it softly. He stood back up and smiled, takeing his place at her side.

O.O.C- *cries* thats was such a short post! ;-;[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[Venge]

OOC: Another wel thought out RP by the one and only, Takuya! *gives Takuya 500,000,000,000 dollars* BTW, Leos a mercenary. And where do the mercenarys come in?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Leo was 'looking' afar on a hill top, a good 50 feet away, towards the Eastern Stronghold. His pact beast, Ketoro, hovered around him, the beast being a little bigger than the human that was with him.

"So, how do you think we can get in?" Leo asked.
"Same way we always do. We go in, get the girl, and get out." Keotoro responded sarcastically.
"We are NOT to get the girl, we are to KILL the girl. Remember that..." Leo snapped back. His many years of spiritual training after his loss of sight gave him the ability to sense the spirit energys of others nearby. Ketoro started to head to the stronghold, but Leo suddenly stopped him.
"Wait! I feel some strong spirit there....we better be careful Ketoro. We better go in carefully and talk mentally, got that?"
"Okay."

The duo started to sneak around towards the stronghold, Leo keeping a good feel on the many spirit energys around him. He drew his daggar, as Ketoro aimed his body where to go, becoming his eyes, in a sense. They were going to go around the back entrance, but that way was to crowded with guards and soldiers. The other entrance was covered in Vaxlas soldiers.

"Damn! How are we going to get in?" Leo asked himself.
"By coming with us, mister!" A voice from behind said.

Leo looked around to attack, but he felt the energys of 10 soldiers in front of him. Ketoro spoke to him.

{Dammit! Don't move! You have ten soldiers in front and now you have four from behind you.}

"What have you come here for?" A soldier asked.
"If you don't tell us, you'll be thrown in the dungeon." Another said.
"....I'm a blind man and I'm having a hard time seeing. I must've bumped into this place on accident." Leo said nervously.
"Then why did you draw your weapon, sir?"
"Doesn't a blind man have reasons to keep weapons on him? I use them for protection!"
"Well, you're coming with us. We'll get you a carriage out of here to the nearest town."

The soldiers then grabbed Leo and walked him into the stronghold. There, he could feel the various spirits of beasts and faries.

'So, who was I supposed to kill this time?...oh, it was the girl with the spirits.' He thought to himself.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OOC: Who is Leo supposed to assasinate? I know, but I'll tell you next post. I'm sorry if I messed anything up Takuya. I'll edit it if need be.

[Veritas]

[font=Century Gothic][color=darkred]Tir silently stood at his post guarding the main entrance to the strong hold. He had just recently seen Vaxla and one of her guardians Jaht, people he was actually able to speak with. He wasnt able to speak to people too often, most others with Pacts were mercenaries or guardian and as well as many other things. It was unusual for a soldier to have one, most believed that it cripples the soldier's fighting performance. [/color][/font]

[font=Century Gothic][color=darkred]Another one of Vaxla's guardians entered the door followed by two humans a male and a female. The guardian said nothing obviously in a hurry to get to Vaxla.[/color][/font]
[font=Century Gothic][color=darkred][/color][/font]
[font=Century Gothic][color=darkred]"Hi" The female said giving Tir a smile before she dissapeared into the halls. [/color][/font]
[font=Century Gothic][color=darkred][/color][/font]
[font=Century Gothic][color=darkred]This made Tir realize that they were her spirits disguised as humans. Turning back to his post he noticed some soldiers with a few mercenaries staring at him. The would point followed by a laugh amongst them.[/color][/font]
[font=Century Gothic][color=darkred][/color][/font]
[font=Century Gothic][color=darkred][Do you want me to scare them a bit?] Sleipnir said feeling alittle anger in Tir's heart.[/color][/font]
[font=Century Gothic][color=darkred][/color][/font]
[font=Century Gothic][color=darkred][No] Tir said though as he finished the black Griffon landed next to the group of men.[/color][/font]
[font=Century Gothic][color=darkred][/color][/font]
[font=Century Gothic][color=darkred]The group stepped back acouple of paces before drawing thier weapons.[/color][/font]
[font=Century Gothic][color=darkred][/color][/font]
[font=Century Gothic][color=darkred]"Freak, why don't you get out of the army" One of them yelled followed by some yeahs from the other 4.[/color][/font]
[font=Century Gothic][color=darkred][/color][/font]
[font=Century Gothic][color=darkred]Tir walked down the steps of the main door. He slowly walked over to Sleipnir and put a hand on his head.[/color][/font]
[font=Century Gothic][color=darkred][/color][/font]
[font=Century Gothic][color=darkred][Go, I'll handle this one] Tir said reaching to he back and drawing his sword.[/color][/font]
[font=Century Gothic][color=darkred][/color][/font]
[font=Century Gothic][color=darkred]Sleipnir flew up and landed on the tom of the stronghold prepared to interfere if needed. That was the signal of thier attack as the 5 rushed at Tir. As the first on attacked Tir hit away his sword followed by a hard kick to the chest. Quickly he ducked dodging an attack before sweeping the attacker with a kick. Another attacked with a downward slice that Tir managed to block. Another tried to attack while he was disracted but reacieve a kick to the chest. Stepping to the side he let go of the block kicking the guy in the back of the knees. The last guy readied his sword to stab Tir before running at him. Tir plunged his massive sword deep into the ground and waited for the attack. As the soldier attacked Tir stepped to the side and swung around usinh the handle as a pole delivering a kick to the mans back. The Soldier fell foward he sword driving into the ground and the hilt into his stomach. [/color][/font]
[font=Century Gothic][color=darkred][/color][/font]
[font=Century Gothic][color=darkred]Tir sheathed his sword and returned to his post looking up at Sleipnir. Though Sleipnirs face didn't show it he was smirking.[/color][/font]

[Kieko]

[I][color=navy]“S***! Why did we go this way? We’re going to be so late, it’s not even going to be funny!” An angry Kimii said, moving some branches out of her way.
“It wasn’t my idea.” Lumina and Shade said in unison. Kimii rolled her eyes. They did that all the time, and sometimes didn’t know it, so it was hard to lay the blame on an individual one.[/I]

[If you guys weren’t my only friends with me or in a pact with me, I’d strangle you.][i] Kimii told them telepathically.[/i]
[No you wouldn’t.] [i]They replied.[/i]
[I know…][i]Kimii thought.

The branches eventually stopped clawing at Kimii’s hair and she could feel an open breeze as they emerged from the forest.

“Finally!” She said, walking cautiously down the grassy hill in front of her.

Kimii knew they were close to the stronghold when she heard a large, iron door shut. She reached down her shirt and took out the knife. She fingered it a little while, admiring the design on the handle and how smooth it felt. She thought back to when she was a little girl, when she met that soldier, Noah.[/I]

Noah. [I]She thought to herself. [/I]He said he would wait for me. Heh, how childish I was to think that he would. He’s most likely gone home or been re-assigned elsewhere. [I]She pondered the thought and then corrected it.[/I] No… he’s most likely dead.

[We’re nearing the stronghold. We should become our [url=http://server6.uploadit.org/files/ForgottenChild-spirits.jpg]spirit forms[/url], our [url=http://server6.uploadit.org/files/ForgottenChild-humanformscopy.jpg]human forms[/url] are too noticeable. If we turn into our spirit forms, we can hide in the shadows and lights.] [i]Lumina and Shade thought to Kimii. Kimii nodded as her friends turned into their spirit forms. Kimii took out a candle and lit it and Lumina walked into the light and disappeared from sight, even though she was just camouflaged. Shade did the same with Kimii’s shadow. Kimii reached the door to the stronghold and two guards blocked her way.

“Who are you and why are you here?” One guard asked.
“I’m Kimii, one of Vaxla’s guardians. Sorry I’m so late, we- I took the long way by accident. Two people tricked me into thinking it was the short way.”
“Hmm… go ahead.” The other guard said and they stepped aside, letting Kimii pass through. Kimii opened the door and blew out her candle, as Lumina could hide in the room’s lighting, Shade still in Kimii’s shadow. Kimii listened a bit and eventually found Vaxla.

“Kimii, at your service.” Kimii said with a bow. “Sorry I’m late… really, really late… but I’m here now. What can I do for you?”[/I][/color]

[GuyYouMetOnline]

Marcus_Beuford, the mercenaries can be assigned either to protect Vaxla, or to capture her. Obviously, you chose the latter. Oh, and it's capture, not kill. She's needed alive. Dead, she's of no use, but alive, she can tell Droston and Opralo where to find her Chamber.

Kieko, you have not yet re-re-edited your sign-up. Please do that. Oh, and everyone's outside. Oh, and the time is about noon.

Ohkami, it's all right if the spirits can take on human forms, but you do seem to have a misconception of their natural forms, made evident by your comment about Undine's not being suitable for land. This information was in the Recruitment thread, but here it is again with a different wording. In their natural forms (states, really), spirits are creatures with no set shape to their bodies. If it wants to, a spirit can have a human shape (or some other shape) while in its natural state. The only way to tell when a spirit is in its natural state is that a spirit in its natural state appears to be made of its element (Undine appears to be made of water and Salamander of fire when they are in their natural states). So, when in her natural state, Undine could make her body shape suitable for land if she wanted to. Oh, this shifting of shape while in their natural states takes no more effort then it takes for humans to walk, talk, etc. It's a natural ability of a spirit's natural state, and is the one ability that all spirits share.

That should do it. If you have any questions, Ohkami, then please PM me.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Jaht laughed. "I'll never understand why the soldiers don't like to have people with pacts in the army. Slepnir could easily do more damage to an enemy army than a group of humans. So could Anzunden. Klari, too. But the soldiers just don't seem to get it."

"They can be pretty thick," Vaxla agreed. "Well, at least they know how to fight. And not all of them look down on those with pacts. You always appreciated the effectivness and power of pact-beasts, even before you made a pact."

"Well, after you've seen what one can do, it's hard not to. But you're right. I did even before I saw one in action, and certainly before Anzunden and I made a pact."

Vaxla looked at the new arrivals. [i]Otto, Kimii, and Rayna. That's all three of them, unless they found mercs willing to do it, and who could be trusted enough to do it. I hope none have been.[/i] "Well," she said aloud, "now that we're all here, let's go eat. Follow me." Vaxla led Jaht, Otto, Kimii, and Rayna into Estern Strongold. They followed her as she led the way to the main dining hall. They all took seats at the head table. "The food should be here shortly," Vaxla told the others.

[Revelation]

[size=1][color=#696969][It all seems too quiet, does it not?]

[I agree.]

[i]Drusille Emerald Tealos IV, more often known as Emerald, stood near the Eastern Stronghold, feeling great motion coming from within. Emerald walked out of form the trees and walked to the gates. There stood several guards who immediately drew their weapons at the sight of Emerald and her two spirits. She smirked as Gnome took ready to attack, while Jinn stood by.[/i]

"Who are you? What is your reason for being at the Eastern Stronghold?"

[i]Walking towards the guards, Emerald began to speak.[/i] "I am Emerald. Put down your weapons and direct me to Vaxla."

"Emerald? Wait....you are Kartan's wanted thief, assassin, sorceress, and fighter! What do you want with Vaxla?"

"Calm yourself, boys. I am only here for the conference. I was chosen to come and protect Vaxla."

[i]The guards agreed that Emerald was safe and that she was able to pass. She entered and was escorted by one of the inside guards to where Vaxla would be, which was the dining hall. The two entered and Emerald was announced. Everyone looked her.[/i]

"Drusille! How nice of you to join us. I am glad that you are here. Come, sit down and join us, won't you?"

"As you wish, Vaxla."

[i]As Emerald sat down, the others looked to her in confusion yet anxiety. They wanted to know who she was, why she was here, and what her intentions were. Emerald sat far from the others and looked down to Vaxla, then her eyes settled onto Jaht. A familiar face in the stronghold other than Vaxla.[/i][/size][/color]

[ArunueShekamari]

[COLOR=SeaGreen][SIZE=2][FONT=Book Antiqua]
IC- Otto sighed and leaned back in the chair. "Um, sir, I don't beleive you should do that. You might fall over," one of the girls said, he wasn't sure wich one. "Hm?" he said, taking his feet off of the table, balencing the chair on only its back legs. Kimii claped, smiling. Otto smiled. He loved showing off. Vaxla cleared her throat. Otto looked to her and suddenly fell backwards. There was a round of giggles as he got up, red in the face and smiling.


OOC- sorry for the shortness![/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[Venge]

OOC: Leo is assigned to kill Rayna, not to capture Vaxla. When I hinted 'the spirits', I meant more than one, not just one spirit as Vaxla has. I had already chosen when I posted. But I'll change it if you want me to.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Leo was sitting down near the entrance to the backside of the stronghold. His pact beast spirit, Ketoro was outside, hiding behind a bush, trying not to be seen.

Ketoro-{So, how do you expect to get that girl?}
Leo-{I don't know. I DO know I'll need your help, but I'll wait untill she is alone and vulnerable.}
Ketoro{Doesn't she have a spirit with her?}
Leo-{I can feel it, but its faint. It may be a weak one. But I'll need you when I attack.}
Ketoro-{Okay...so, how long do you think this will take?}
Leo-{I have no idea.}
???-{What do you mean?}

Leo looked about, as someone interupted his telepathic conversation with Ketoro.

"Who was that?" Leo said out loud.

The guards looked at him strangely, wondering what he meant.

???-{What were you talking about?}
Leo-{Who are you?}

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~OOC again: Since no one knows that Leo has a pact beast spirit, I guess, someone had dropped in on his conversation just as it was going to be finished. Who ever that is, I don't mind who, you don't know what Leo is up to, just that he is up to something.

[Cat]

Shortly after Emerald Luna came on the dragon Spike. Luna jumped off.
Luna: [See you]
Spike: [Good bye]
Luna turned to the guard.
Luna: [Let me in]
The guard seem to not understand.
Luna: [I'm the Mercenary Luna. One of the gurardian Of Miss. Vaxla.]
The gurad still didn't understand.
Luna: [Thats it! MOVE!!]
Luna push her way into the Stronghold and walk to the Dining Hall.
On her way she heard a voice. The voice was coming from a man in the back of the stronghold.
The man: "Who are you?"
Luna:[ I am Luna.]
The man : [What do you want?]
Luna: [Just to know who you where talking to?]
The man: [No one. I'm Leo.]
Luna: [ Well, it was nice to meet you but I have to go.]
Leo: [ Ok, see you.]
Luna walk off to the Dining Hall.
Leo's pact beast: [ Who was that?]
Leo: [ A women named Luna.]
Leo's pact beast:[ohhhh]
Luna said to her self: [ He was talking to a pact beast.]
Luna came to the doors to the Dining Hall. Not knowing what kind of a welcome she would get.
She enter. Ever one stoped and stared.
Jaht said to him self: [ Oh great its a merc.]

[GuyYouMetOnline]

OOC: Jaht has nothing against mercenaries, which will be explained in this post. Vaxla, however, generally doesn't like them, although there are exceptions (Luna's not one of them).

-------------------------------------------------

Vaxla looked concerned when she saw Luna. [Do we have to have her here?] she sent to Jaht privatly.

[Look, Vaxla,] Jaht sent back, [I know you don't like mercs, but there's really nothing we can do about her. Besides, she's here to protect you. And if it turns out that she's not, then we'll handle her.]

"You know Emerald, Jaht?" Rayna asked as Luna took a seat.

"You could say that," Jaht replied. "She's my sister."

"Um... oh. Well, that explains you, but what about Vaxla?"

"I've known Jaht and Emerald since we were children," Vaxla explained. "I haven't seen either of them for a while, though. Jaht's a soldier, and would be marching into Opralo about now if I hadn't personally requested him as a bodyguard. And Emerald... well, I'm sure you've all heard of her."

Just then, the meal was placed in front of them. "Steak!" Jaht exclaimed. "I haven't had steak since I joined the army."

Vaxla chuckled. "Food's very good here. That'll be the finest quality meat, too. It's all for my sake. Everyone knows what I am, but I don't think they know that I can't taste the food."

"Well, don't tell them," Jaht said. "I haven't had food this good for years."

-------------------------------------------

OOC: Eat, make conversation, whatever. There'll be some action soon.

[Kieko]

[I][color=navy]Everyone quietly ate their food, except Kimii, as Luna sat down and helped herself to some steak. It was deathly quiet in the room after that. Kimii felt around for her fork and, when she found it, she took a stab at where the smell of steak was coming from in order to get a piece. She found her knife and began to cut her steak carefully.

“So… um… is this everyone?” Kimii asked to no one in particular, as she was just looking for an answer, she didn’t care who it came from.
“As far as I know. Jaht?” Vaxla said.
“Yes.” He choked out after swallowing a mouthful of food.
“Mm-hm…” Kimii said and resumed cutting her steak, eating the last piece she cut. It was extremely small. She ate the next piece. It was extremely large and she had trouble swallowing.
“Um… Kimii?” Rayna asked, noticing Kimii was having a hard time cutting the right sized bites. “You ok?”
“What-Oh, yeah.” Kimii said, eating another large piece.
“You sure?”
“Yeah. I just have a little trouble seeing, that’s all.” Kimii said. It wasn’t a lie entirely; she just minimized her disability. The fact was she couldn’t see at all, but she didn’t want to tell the others that for now, although they may have guessed already. “But I’ve got it under control.” Rayna shrugged and went back to eating.

Kimii eventually found a method to make sure that the pieces she cut were the right size and continued eating quietly with everyone else. She couldn’t think of something to talk about and decided that if the others wanted to talk that they would start a conversation themselves.

OOC: I re-edited my sign-up ^_^.[/color][/I]

[Cat]

Luna sat there eating. Not knowing who or what to talk about. She begain to wish that Spike was there. They always have stuff to talk about. And on top of all that she could not stop thing of the man named Leo.
Luna said to her self: [ Why was he there? I know he is up to something but what? And who or what is his pact beast?]
Just then some one interrupted her line of thought.
Otto: So Luna what would a mercenary be doing here? I bet they payed you alot to be here.
Jath: No luna came here because she wants to here. Right?
Luna:[ Yes, I here to protect Ms. Vaxla and that is all.]
Otto: All right. Whatever.
Otto went back to eating.
Luna said to her self: [ There I go again. I got a feeling that I'm going to make alot of enemies.]
No one said any thing after this.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OOC: How am I doing so far?

[ArunueShekamari]

[Font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=SeaGreen]OOC- trying to make my charecter an enimy huh? lol.

IC- Otto shook his head. He always felt responsible to start conversation. "Mmm," he said, "This [I]is[/I] really good! Complimants to your chef. I've been eating nothing but bread for so long, aye, this is heaven." Vaxla smiled. "I'm glad you like it! I'm sure it's wonderfull, I wish I could taste it." she said giggling slightly. Otto smiled a nice freindly smile. He didn't do that very often. He usually had a creepy sideways smile.
After only a few more minutes, Otto was so full he thought if he ate anymore he'd die. [I]At least I'd die happy and fed[/I]! he thought to himself. He sat back in his chair and waited for everyone to finish.[/color][/size][/font]

[Revelation]

[size=1][color=#696969][i]As everyone happily ate, Emerald sat and barely touched her food. She was not one to eat and conversate, as it is her nature as a former thief/ assassin. She looked to Jaht and Vaxla and knew that her past had hurt the two. Vaxla looked up to see that Emerald had not touched her food. She sent a private thought.[/i]

["Drusille, is there something wrong with your food? You have not eaten. Are you not feeling well?"]

["Huh? Oh, no. I'm quite alright. Old habits die hard...if you know what I mean."]

["I see. Do not worry, it is all behind us."]

[i]With a trying smile, Emerald began to cut away at her food. As she began to eat, Gnome and Jinn's thoughts had broken into her thoughts. She slightly choked from being startled and quickly took a sip of her drink, as everyone watched. She was not happy at the moment.[/i]

["Thank you for interfering with my dinner, [i]O, great spirits![/i] What do you want?"]

[i]The first voice to speak was the passive Jinn. He spoke with a gentle, flowing voice. The two kept hidden from the others, so as not to oppose on them. The second voice to speak was the aggressive, hard-headed Gnome. He barely spoke, yet when he does, his voice is deep and mysterious.[/i]

["Undine, Salamander, Shade, and Lumina are present here."]

["Are they, really? Did you not think that I would have known?"]

["No. But the ones who have a pact with them are Rayna and Kimii. Rayna is the one holding the twin blades, whereas Kimii is the one who sits beside her. Rayna possesses a pact with the fire and water spirits and Kimii possesses a pact with the Dark and Light spirits."]

["I see. Anything else?"]

["We highly dislike Luna."]

[i]A chuckle and a smirk lightly escaped Emerald, yet she managed to keep a straight face. She looked around and saw that everyone was nearly finished. Gnome and Jinn's voices had disappeared and she knew that the two were waiting quietly. Emerald set down her fork and knife and looked cautiously around her, knowing that, although she was at the Eastern Stronghold, trouble always managed to catch up to her. Jaht noticed this on her, as well, yet managed to keep his face straight.[/i][/color][/size]

[GuyYouMetOnline]

"Too bad you can't taste this, Vaxla," Jaht remarked. "It's very good."

"I've learned to compensate," Vaxla replied. "I treat a food's smell as its taste."

"Well, I don't think it's fair. Klari is powerful enough to defeat some dragons, and you only lost your sense of taste. It's just not-"

He was interrupted by a telepathic message from Anzunden, one that all in the room heard. [We're under attack! Four raised dragons scattered the troops, and soldiers from Droston and Opralo have entered the stronghold!"

[You and the other pact-beasts take the dragons!] Jaht sent back. He then sent a telepathic message to Tir Caladbolg as everyone stood up and drew their weapons, including Vaxla. [Tir, have Bane block the enterance to the stronghold. Only those on our side are to be allowed in and out. Then get your ass to the main dining hall, where we are.] "Everyone," he said aloud, "our objective is to protect Vaxla, so let's do it. Get ready, because here they come!"

------------------------------------------------

OOC: Two things. First, a 'raised' dragon is one that was raised from birth by humans. They are trained to obey certain individuals, which are their riders.

As for the battle, the pact-beasts are fighting the four raised dragons (except Bane, who is preventing more emeny troops from entering the stronghold). Our human characters are in the main dining hall with VAxla (Except Tir, who is on his way there) and enemy soldiers are entering. You mercs after Vaxla, make an attept to capture her, but she mush not be captured at this time. Oh, and Vaxla's damn good with her whip, so she'll certainly kill several enemy soldiers. Also, Eastern Stronghold must remain controlled by Intran (there aren't enough enemy soldiers to take it, although there are quite a few of them). Other than those two things, anything goes (Except killing someone else's character. Also, if someone dies, they're dead for good). So go nuts.

[COLOR=Navy]Rayna quickly put the food down and stood. She twirled her staff and pulled it apart to reveal her twin blades. Undine and Salamander jumped off her shoulders and transformed to their human forms which they usually used for battle.

"Have they already entered the stronghold?" Rayna asked, not hearing the telepathic message.

"Yes, there are four raised dragons and soldiers from Droston and Opralo." Vaht answered.

Rayna nodded and stood at ready, she loved battles because it gave her something to do. The door opened and Tir entered.

["The doors have been secured."] he told them.

Jaht nodded and Tir prepared his weapons as everyone else had.

"Undine, Salamander, you need to go help with the dragons." Rayna told them.

"What about you?" Undine asked.

"We can't leave you unprotected." Salamander finished.

"I'll be fine on my own, go." Rayna said firmly.

The two spirits nodded and headed for the area where the dragons and their riders were. Hopefully there were other pact-beasts there to help too.[/COLOR]

[size=1][color=#696969][i]With a smirk, Emerald disappeared from the scene and quickly pulled on her old outfit that she kept with her. She began to retrieve her weapons as well. These weapons included twin silver dual fans injected with various venoms and poisons, a wrist crossbow, two sais, several pirahna moon shurikens, and a whip blade that goes by the name of Viper. With a final look-over, Emerald looked for an open window and saw that the one nearest her was the perfect place.

Jumping out, Emerald grabbed onto the banner that was hanging outside and began to climb that with ease. She reached the roof and had sent a telepathic message to Jaht, telling him where she was.[/i]

["Hello, big brother."]

["Drusille? Where are you?"]

["Atop the roof, Jaht. I shall see the rest of you out in a moment. Do not worry. I only slipped into something a bit more familiar. An assassin shall be making her mark today with the family heirloom emblem."]

[i]With the final word, Emerald kept running with stealth and agility until she had gotten to the end and had seen the others exit the area. She smirked and saw them ready for battle. Emerald looked down and dived off of the roof towards them, gently landing beside Jaht, readying her crossbow and sais.[/i][/size][/color]

Leo felt about as he felt the guards scatter as an attack on the stronghold commenced. Leo felt this was a good time to make his move.

Leo-{Come on Ketoro, lets go!}
Ketoro-{Got ya!}

Leo slowly felt his way to the room which contained Vaxla. He drew out his sword and daggar and slowly etched toward Vaxla. As he drew closer, he suddenly felt a swift kick in the gut and fell to the ground, blacking out...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OOC: sorry its short. but I couldnt think of anything. Leo is still passed out, so do as you wish.

[Kieko]

[color=navy][Kimii! Over here!] [I]Shade spoke alone. Kimii felt her foot squish into an unstable substance and noticed it was a man’s stomach. She heard a thud as the man she kicked fell to the ground.[/i]

[Thank you. He was standing on my hand.] [I]Shade spoke on his own.
This time both Shade and Lumina spoke.[/I] [We are going to help with the dragon.]

[I]This was one of the only times they didn't talk in unison, but they were gone before Kimii had time to ask why. Kimii didn’t delay on this thought for long. She put her weapons away and dragged the stranger out of the darkness.

“Jaht!” She called. Jaht looked over.
“Tie him up good and leave him! We’ll deal with him after the battle!” He replied and Kimii did as she was told.

She disarmed the man and used spare rope she kept with her to bind his hands behind his back and his feet together. Once this was done she whacked him over the head once more to make sure he was unconscious for a while before leaving Vaxla to watch him and regaining her stance next to the others and re-drawing her weapons just as the door to the dining hall opened and Droston and Opralo’s troops entered.

Leo slowly gained consoiusness, his head ringing like a chirch bell during a wedding.

'Ouch. That hurt...what the hell? Why am I tied up? Is this what bondage feels like?'

Thoughts ran through his head as he felt the area around him. He was on his side, with his hands tied behind his back and his legs tied up together. His mouth wasn't covered though.

"Where the heck am I!?" He yelled.

Vaxla turned to him.

"How dare you make an attempt on my life!"
"Hey, I was paid to do so! Don't get your dress caught up in a bunch!"

Down the hall, Leo heard the troops storming in.

Leo-{Oh great! The soldiers have come to take our heads! What fun...}
Ketoro-{Well, shall we?}
Leo-{It doesn't matter who dies, if we die, we die fighting.}

Leos intentions were to fight these soldiers, due to the fact that they would kill him, thinking he was a prisoner of theirs, but not one of them. Ketoro floated down into Leo, as a fusion within occured. Ketoro combined with Leo, Leo gaining the attributes of his dragon friend. With a sudden burst of strength from Ketoro, Leo busted the ropes on his hands and legs. And with Ketoro in him, he seen what the dragon saw, but the colors were different. Placing his hands out, Leo charged them with electricity, and his old blade and dagger appeared in his hands.

"Lets go."

Without another word, Leo rushed to the others that were fighting the soldiers.

"Hey, how'd you get loose!?" Kimii yelled.
"Heh. Ketoro, thats who!"

Two soldiers rushed Leo from the front, but with a slice, side step, and a kick, one soldier laid in his own blood as he other slammed into the ground, knocking a few teeth loose. Leo grabbed the soldier by the neck and slit his throat, the blood spewing from his jugler veins.

"I'm helping out. Don't attack me and I'll help fight these guys!"


!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OOC: I hope you dont mind the fusing part. Leos looks stays the same, its just a figure of speech.

[GuyYouMetOnline]

OOC: That's fine. Just make sure that Ketoro can't do anything on his own while in the 'fused' state.

---------------------------------------------------

"Vaxla, where's Klari?" Jaht shouted to her as he killed another enemy soldier.

""She's on her way!" was Vaxla's reply.

[Anzunden, status!] Jaht sent to the phoenix.

[The raised dragons are dead, and we're taking care of the enemy soldiers still out here.]

[You and the other large pact-beasts keep doing that. Klari's on her way to us. The spirits should come, too.]

"We'll be geting backup soon!" Jaht told the others. "Klari and the spirits are on their way here!"

[Good, because here comes another group!] Tir sent.

He was right. The enemy came in, and there were a lot of them. Vaxla got the first two kills, then everyone was busy. Jaht was taking on two at once, and he was winning. He killed them, then found a new opponent.

[Revelation]

[size=1][color=#696969][i]As Emerald was fighting her opponent, he managed to cut her upper right arm. He had cut through her favorite shirt and Emerald looked at the blood that trickled down the torn shirt. Anger boiled through her as she looked at it and then to her opponent.[/i]

"You ba.stard! How dare you?! You'll pay for that!"

"AHAHA! Little girl, this is a man's world! Do not be so foolish in thinking you can defeat me."

[i]Emerald stood and sheathed her sais. She took her blade and with one snap of her wrist, the blade extended into a whip. The soldier eyed her carefully. She twirled it with great ease and looked him square in the eye. Her eyes were fiery with anger and her mouth began to speak words of fury.[/i]

"Prepare yourself, O great [i]man[/i]. Today is the day you die!"

[i]With a quick snap of her wrist, the whip sped towards the soldier. She managed to wrap the whip around his arm, letting the blood seep through. With a smirk on her unseen face, Emerald pulled the whip back and the soldier fell to the ground. The whip let go of his arm and he began to stand. What he did not know was that, there was poison on the edges of the blades. Each strike poisoned the victim, causing the victim's blood stream to slow each time, causing the victim's reaction to become slower, and the nerves of the body to become wild.

The soldier held onto his arm as he held onto his sword. Emerald still smirked as she retracted the bladed whip to become a double edged sword. Emerald swung it around as she and the soldier faced each other. Within a blink of an eye, Emerald disappeared and was nowhere to be seen. The soldier stood cautiously, not knowing where she may appear.

Emerald's laughter was heard and from right behind, Emerald appeared from below, grabbing his foot, pulling him to the ground.[/i]

"Such a naive man, you are."

[i]Taking her bladed whip, Emerald swung it around her head and let it wrap around his head. With a pull, the soldier was dead. Emerald looked to the other soldiers who looked at her with fear. She smirked and sent forth her shurikens. With a flip in the air, once more she was gone.[/size][/color][/i]

[font=Century Gothic][color=darkred]Tir held his sword at ready as the new group of soldiers attacked. The quick whip work of Vaxla made the first two kills as Jaht took two on at once. Tir occupied himself with with blocking an attack from a soldier weilding a large spiked mace. [/color][/font]
[font=Century Gothic][color=darkred][/color][/font]
[font=Century Gothic][color=darkred]As they stood weapons interlocked the man managed to place a sweeping kick knocking Tir to the floor. Quickly rolling to the right he dodged an attack on the groud where he once lay. Continueing to roll to dodge attacks he rolled under a table and sprung back to his feet on the other side. Tir jump and the table as the soldier charged at him. Tir gracefully flipped over the enemy as his attack his the table. As the man turned to stike again Tir's blade struck deep into the mans face.[/color][/font]
[font=Century Gothic][color=darkred][/color][/font]
[font=Century Gothic][color=darkred]Turning his attention to Vaxla he saw her pre-occupied with 2 soldier in front of her as one tried to to sneak around an attack her back. Tir switched his grip on his sword and then threw the sword is if it were a spear. The sword sailed through the air before piercing the enemy and pinning him against the wall. Quickly following his sword Tir ran and removed it from the body and stood back to back with Vaxla. [/color][/font]
[font=Century Gothic][color=darkred][/color][/font]
[font=Century Gothic][color=darkred][You look like you need someone to cover your back] Tir said readying his sword.[/color][/font]
[font=Century Gothic][color=darkred][/color][/font]
[font=Century Gothic][color=darkred]"Thanks" Vaxla said letting her whip strike down another enemy.[/color][/font]
