RPG The Holy Ocean

[Ugamon]

[I][FONT="Comic Sans MS"][COLOR="SeaGreen"]As Rain's Tender Lips hit his Lips his feral mind Snapped and He felt like he was freefloating for a moment.. His mind Between Cursed and Mortal Souls... As His Mind came to The Sliver Flames and energy Disapated..

Suddenly he fell back into his own Body and Relized what he was doing. Stumbling back he Fell over a goblin corpse and Kinda Crabwalked back a few paces and Stared at her in Shock.

The shock wasn't just the fact she had just snapped him back into himself but the fact that he had been enjoying that.. And The fact he was Forbidden to do such things Under his agreement to the Goddess..

He looked around and slowly came fully to his sense and got up as he did he noticed something red on his hands and Shivered as he saw the Wet blood that was drying there.. A Symbolic reminder that he was only a puppet in the grand scheme of things.. Turning his head up he looked from Virgil's Face to Sage's to Rain's and her companion Zeek. [/COLOR][/FONT][/I]

[Frankie]

[COLOR=darkred]Rain stood there just about as shocked as he was. She didnt know if it was going to work and when it did she was glad but... She had almost slightly enjoyed kissing him. She thought she wouldnt, she thought it was just going to be done to snap him out of it. Shock from her enjoyment, his reaction, and his lack of reaction filled her mind and she turned away.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred][B]"I know that must have been terrible for you but It had to be done. Now get ahold of yourself and uh I am sor-... Ill be back."[/B] She quickly removed herself from the bloody clearing.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]Standing there in the trees by herself she heard something. She realized she left her sword back there. Good job. She turned to find Zeek hovering hear her.[/COLOR]

[U][I][COLOR=darkred]You know you shouldnt come out her by yourself.[/COLOR][/I][/U]
[U][I][/I][/U]
[U][I][COLOR=darkred]What does it matter... Anyways earlier you said he is annoyed with our chatter... You mean he can hear us when we speak like this?[/COLOR][/I][/U]
[U][I][/I][/U]
[U][I][COLOR=darkred]Oops...[/COLOR][/I][/U]
[U][I][/I][/U]
[U][I][COLOR=darkred]Oops is right feather head. Meh I dont care. He surely isnt going to guide us through the mountains now! What the hell have I done... He hates us after all, I sense it anyways... He hasnt said it, he just makes it clear in his attitude towards me at least that he is far from happy about being here and now I think I blew it...[/COLOR][/I][/U]
[U][I][/I][/U]
[U][I][COLOR=darkred]But what other way did you know of to snap him out of it?[/COLOR][/I][/U]
[U][I][/I][/U]
[U][I][COLOR=darkred]I dont know! Kick him in the nuts didnt quite come to mind at the time! What is worse Zeek... I kind of enjoyed kissing him like that. Go figure. I kiss the guy who would rather be anywhere but here and near anyone but my stupid self, I probably-[/COLOR][/I][/U]
[U][I][/I][/U]
[U][I][COLOR=darkred]OH FOR THE LOVE OF THE QUEEN SHUT UP!!!!! Do not worry if he leaves, I am sure we will find a way. He does find us annoying and would prefer we not speak at all. I sense what you sense. A complete distaste for everything but that is no reason to break yourself up about. Calm down and whatever happens happens. Thats it. No need to stress yourself over it..[/COLOR][/I][/U]
[U][I][/I][/U]
[U][I][COLOR=darkred]BUT I ENJOYED IT ZEEK!!! I DONT EVEN KNOW THE GUY...Not only that but I mean I just gave him extra reason to hate my guts and thats the last thing I wanted...[/COLOR][/I][/U]

[COLOR=darkred]She plopped down on the ground and leaned against the tree. She began to hum to herself and a small bird hopped down the branches to the ground. Flying up and landing on her knee it chirpped quietly. She held out her hand and the bird hopped onto her fingers. She sighed...[/COLOR]

[I][U][COLOR=darkred]Oh well, I just need some rest, I might not look it Zeek but surely you can sense I am close to passing out again...[/COLOR][/U][/I]
[I][U][/U][/I]
[I][U][COLOR=darkred]Exactly so stop stressing out...[/COLOR][/U][/I]

[COLOR=darkred]She quietly sat there staring the little bird in the eyes. What a day this turned out to be...[/COLOR]

[Astdis]

[COLOR="Green"]Sage watched the display with interest, once the task at hand had been dispatched. When Rain had walked off into the trees, she turned and cleaned her twin blades on the ground. [I]The horse had her bag, she’d have to wait for him to catch back up before she could do any better[/I]. Sage whipped the swords back into their sheaths and walked over to Virgil. He, like herself was covered in blood, there was a deep gash in his side.

[B]“Here.” [/B]Sage bent forward and held her hand to his side. There was a slight rush of warmth and when she removed her hand, it was knitted, not perfect, but closed and free of pain.

Virgil looked at her and bowed his head [B]“My thanks.”[/B]

Kerrian walked over and looked at her work [B]“If you don’t mind my asking, why is it not healed completely?” [/B]

Sage was loosening the leather bracers from her forearms, [B]“I could have healed it completely. But as you see from my own person, I too took hits today and do not bare the mark. That plus the fighting all saps energy. Healing others I can control, I take advantage of that. No, it is not perfect, but it works and I’m still awake and able.”[/B] She looked up at them considering. [I]What an odd group they made. [/I]

[B]“That was quite a display, care to elaborate?” [/B]
Kerrian crossed his arms and withdrew into himself a bit [B]“No, actually, I’d rather not.”[/B]

[B]“I have to admit, I’ve seen a lot. But you’re magic is of a flavor I have yet to encounter, very sparatic, I see now why you hesitated to take on this quest.”[/B]

Virgil nodded [B]“In all fairness to Kerrian, I think we all may have hesitated for our own reasons.”[/B]

Sage nodded [B]“That’s a fair observation.” [/B]She ran a hand through her hair in a sign of frustration and then put her hands out in front of her making it clear that what she was about to say was important and had been waying on her mind,

[B]“Alright, we’re clearly getting into something rather intense and I’ll wager deeper than any other quest any of us may have been on previously.” [/B]She looked into each of their eyes in turn[B] “We’re going to have to trust each other and start getting to know and confiding in each other if we’re going to make it through this. The goblins were a low level adversary, and you both know that.” [/B]Sage pointed into the woods where Rain had gone [B]“She’s not from here, she may not be aware of that. But you both know better. We have got to make some effort here, like it, or not.”[/B]

They both stared at her, unblinking. Neither had heard her talk more than two sentences since they’d started this journey.

[B]“Well, that was quite a speech”[/B] Kerrian said, first to break the silence.

Virgil nodded [B]“She has a point though, how can you trust a stranger? No one in the group has actually tried to get passed strangers that all accepted the same quest. When the battles get harder, we need to be more than that.”[/B]

Kerrian shrugged, but there was something in his eyes that told her he was thinking seriously about it.[B] “Alright, we could start with you.”[/B] He said, more like a challenge then a friendly gesture. But all men had that tendency, she was used to it.

Looking him in the eyes, she walked up to him. She knew the sun was shining directly on her, she knew that her face, hair and ivory of her swords had stayed clean of blood thus glowed with an unearthly, cliché ‘heavenly’ light. [I]Healing may be her only power, but it was not her only gift, and she knew it. [/I]

Sage looked from one to the other then gave a smirk, the closest thing to a smile either of them had seen on her, since they’d met her. [I]Before she walked away to find Rain so they could get Milo and continue their journey, she decided to give Kerrian an answer, some what.[/I] Still smirking and with her blood stained hand she patted him on the cheek[B] “I’m not you’re average angel.”[/B][/COLOR]

----------------------
OOC: it's great that you two have everything planned and are really into this, but I'd like to get into it too, so would the others probably- so please don't forget us :catgirl:

[Frankie]

[COLOR=darkred]Rain heard movement in the forest and quickly scaled a tree. At least thirty feet in the air she watched Sage wealk near and Zeek circled her.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred][B]"He is telling you I want to be alone for a while... I wont move from this spot unless it is to return to the group, even if you move from the battle scene I will be able to find you and so none of you need to worry. I just need to think thats all so I would appreciate it is I could have a little more time to myself."[/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]Sage did not answer but glanced up at the girl sitting on a branch so high in the air. She shrugged and nodded. Once out of the area Rain came back down and relaxed at the base of the tree. The bird returned to her once she resumed her little hum. She figured no matter how much was going to happen she would be the odd one out. She would be the single one they felt needed to protected or not trusted because of how quickly she picked up on slashing things to bits. No one person was more shocked about her powers than she was. The exploding goblin from kinetic energy was enough to make her realized she shouldnt get close to anyone untill she got the hang of everything. She might accidently blow someone up with a simple friendly hand gesture. She didnt think about blowing the goblin up, and she did not plan for that to happen, it just did. She was dangerous.[/COLOR]

ooc: yeah got a little carried away but starwind hasnt posted since like... several days ago im begginng to think he isnt going to. Oh well yeah me and ugamon will calm down, and slow down, so you can get in on the action. as for rain right now, it was sort of getting night when the battle ended and now its even later, set up camp somewhere close but a good distance away from the battle scene to keep predators at bay and all that... Ugamon knows what to do with the rain in the forest thing but untill then make camp and all that, i need to put together our next issue in more detail

[B]EDIT!!!!!: Lilt has messaged me and reported that she has been grounded from the computer for who knows how long and has givin us complete control over milo, she even said we could kill her off if we needed too... so anyone who posts can have her return int othe group and we will go from there...[/B]

[Ugamon]

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][COLOR="Green"][I] Kerrian Stood in a Stream Washing the Blood Off of himself.. As he Did the Ice Cold Water shocked his body back into Normalacy His Mind was cleared by it and he Remembered what he did ferally The grace and speed but also the Bloodlust. Shuddering Not only from the cold water but the thought he Finished washing his Blood Stained hands and Clothes and Walked out of the stream..

He had Left after Sage did to get cleaned up.. And it seemed he owed a Debt of graditude to Rain For shocking him out of his Feral State... That and the Thoughts between her and That Flying Fluffball Zeek Penatrated his Mind... Walking through the forest his Wet shirt Slung over his shoulder he made his way towards the last known Spot that Rain was in.

As he crossed the Bloody trail he noticed Virgil was talking to Milo who had Finally Returned. Turning to them he said. [B] We should Go.. Follow the Trail to the next Clearing about half a League down it .. Set up camp i will be there soon.[/B]Turning Back towards the route he was taking he Made his way to the Seated Rain and Knelt down and looked at her and said. [B] Looks like a Owe you a Rather Big debt.[/B] His Eyes Gazed into hers as his Intense Stare Went into her own Big eyes. [/I][/COLOR][/FONT]

[Frankie]

[COLOR=darkred]Rain jerked as he knelt down in front of her, her blood rushed swiftly through her veins and her heart accelarated. Why of all times did he have to appear now?[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred][B]"Looks like I Owe you a rather big debt."[/B] He said staring at her, still dripping wet.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]She took a deep breath, and noticed he was looking her right in the eyes. This left her almost frozen, unable to avert her gaze or shift herself to get a little farther from him because she also just realized how close he was to her. She was completely paralyzed.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred][B]"Oh, dont say that. It had to be done, It was... uhm... It was repayment from earlier in the forest with that fire lady... How you protected me. I yeah you owe me... uh... you dont owe me anything."[/B] She found herself hardly able to keep a sentance together. She could at any moment say the wrong thing, do something stupid, or blow him up accidently. Or maybe all three at once. That would be her luck.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]She realized he just stared at her even after she said that. Either thinking about something else and she didnt even WANT to know what a half naked man would be thinking directly after a girl kissed him in his frenzy through the forest. She hoped he was just thinking of his reply.[/COLOR]

[U][I][COLOR=darkred]Man Zeek where are you![/COLOR][/I][/U]
[U][I][/I][/U]
[COLOR=darkred][U][I]You are on your own kid... Human communication is something you gotta learn to deal with on your own.[/I][/U] she heard, he was somewhat distant.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]"[B]Damn..."[/B] She whispered to herself, [B]"Yeah, no .. Ahem! You do not Owe me a thing Kerrian, but thank you for the gesture..."[/B] She hoped that was gonna make him say something... she couldnt take that stare much longer.[/COLOR]

[Ugamon]

Kerrian Had been Attempting a Soul Gaze.. Something only a True Magick User could Do once they opened their third eye to the world. Glancing Away he Knelt down on one knee and said Softly. [B]You look like your afriad i am going to do something to you.. Relax.. I won't Violate you in anyway.[/B]

As he said this he Chuckled at her expression and said. [B]Perhaps you better get your story stright before you talk to me.. Now about that Nice little Magickal Kinetic Blast Your did.. I Assume you can't control it?[/B] Rain Merely shook her head Seemly still in shock a bit from the Soul Gaze.


He Sighed and Pulled out a Small Purple Crystal and said. [B] This is called Amethyst.. It Has Many uses and it was a good friend of mines before she died.. I think you need it to control your new ability.. If you need to use it take off the crystal.. IT should help you.. [/B]

He strightened up and said. [B]We are moving i Suggest you come along Unless this quest you wanted to do no longer matters to you..[/B] He Lowered his Voiced to the tinest Whisper and said. [B]Rain.. Or should i call you Alanna now?[/B] Chuckling he Turned and headed towards camp and Shook his wet hair.

[Frankie]

[COLOR=darkred]This comment shocked her. She stared at him with such confusion she couldnt even beleive what he had just said. She had a sneaking suspision that the Alanna who had been mentioned so many times within her own mind might be herself but she didnt beleive it, she never would. How can someone help you or meet up with you if they are already within you. She didnt understand it and surely had no idea HOW he knew of all this. She remembered he knew of their converstaions, her zeek's, but...[/COLOR]

[I][U][COLOR=darkred]What was that stare... was it just me that kept me from moving... or was it him...[/COLOR][/U][/I]

[COLOR=darkred]She wondered to herself not even caring now if he heard it or not. She looked at the crystal he had handed her and her eyes narrowed. She was following him silently to where the others had apparently made camp. She suspiciously put it around her neck. What were his intentions. Was he telling her the truth about the crystal or trying to mess with her. If he was able to go crazy like he did before, or give her such a stare that she couldnt move, what else was he capable off.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]For some reason she felt afraid of him and a large part of her couldnt help but trust him and appreciate all that he had said back there in the forest... And that she couldnt explain. There was no way possible she was alanna, that was for sure and no one could convince her otherwise. [/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]Zeek appeared beside her as if he had been there the whole time. He kept silent but floated alongside them untill they got into the clearing where a small fire was made and Virgil was on watch. Sage was zoned out near the fire, it looked like she had taken extra care of her swords again and Milo had joined them again. She was wide awake poking the fire with a stick.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred][B]"Welcome back you two, having a little fun in the forest alone eh?"[/B] Milo said with a wink.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred][B]"Not Quite..."[/B] Rain muttered,[B] "No worries though everything is fine, you are all safe from me now I suppose."[/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]All three of them asked about that comment but rain stayed quiet and kerrian figured it was his turn to stay well out of it. Rain sat by the fire and several hours passed and guards changed but no one was sleeping or resting for that matter.[/COLOR]

[B][COLOR=darkred]"Why dont you guys sleep at all, I mean really... We need rest right."[/COLOR][/B]

[COLOR=darkred][B]"I am severely tired, that is true, but for some reason I cant help but feel I should stay awake."[/B] Sage said with a sideways glance.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]Milo straightend up, [B]"Wierd, me too!"[/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]Virgil nodded, [B]"Hate to admit it but I feel the same."[/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]Rain shrugged, [B]"Well It is my turn to take guard anyways so-"[/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred][B]"But"[/B] someone went to say but before rain could even tell who said it she held up her hand, removed the crystal and blew a bush tweleve feet into the air.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred][B]"I dont want to hear it. I am nothing precious to protect, I can guard camp too so dont think of me as some preacious cargo that should be kept in the middle! Kerrian... THAT one was controlled!"[/B] She started walking around camp in circles.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]Once her nerves were calmed down again she took a deep breath and sat on a stump on the edge of camp. Everyone was up awake and on edge. She hated it. She did not like the feeling so she began to sing to herself. Something she hadnt done since she got here because she wasnt comfortable enough to do so with all that was going on but now she couldnt help it.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]The melody that surrounded her was both happy and sad. A sweet happiness daced in the flames of the fire but a deep sadness flowed with it. Both moods and sounds dancing in and out of each other.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]Suddenly Virgil toppled over where he sat, deep asleep.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]Milo pointed and laughed, [B]"A man cant handle a simple song and is out like a baby, How pathe......tic"[/B] She muttered as she also fell over asleep.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred][B]"Oh what the!"[/B] Sage followed and like the others she too was curled up on the ground sleeping peacefully.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]Kerrian was the last to fall.[B] "Rain... stop..."[/B] He said right before he was out like a light. He had tried extreamly hard to fight it but the power that was flowing through camp overwhealmed even him. the last thing he saw was her turning to look at him, the song over and the camp silent, then it was dark.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]Rain looked around and everyone was out.[B] "Oh...darn. I just thought the kids at the orphanage were easy to put to sleep, To be honest not one kid was awake once i finished that song. I thought it was just..."[/B] She realized even Zeek was dead to the world... unable to hear her thoughts and comment on them. [B]"I guess they were right, I do have more powers than I thought... So even if i have stopped they... they wont wake up well untill morning. I am such an Idiot!"[/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred][B]"I wouldnt say that my dear... Just a bit careless."[/B] [/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]She whipped around and the man from before stood by the fire. He had interupted during the attack with the fire witch.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred][B]"Who... Who are you?"[/B] She asked nervously, Shit! Why of all times, no one is awake and the creepy guy shows up...[/COLOR]

[B][COLOR=darkred]"Oh my lady I am sorry, I forgot that last time we met. My name is Desmond. Fear not, I will not harm you, MY NO, you are indeed precious. As I said you should come live with me, princess."[/COLOR][/B]

[COLOR=darkred][B]"You know,"[/B] She said rather annoyed now, [B]"You sound so much like a slimeball whet you say that. I am a girl from the future who lived in an orphanage and there are no 'ROYALS' in my time!"[/B][/COLOR]

[B][COLOR=darkred]"I never said you were the princess really. You see I am a prince, and if you finished your mission and came to live with me in my palace you could be a princess, a queen even."[/COLOR][/B]

[COLOR=darkred][B]"Ugh, you make me sick for some reason."[/B] With a flash he held her by the throat more than a foot off the ground.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]He glared at her as he held her there. She struggled but his strength was outside of what she thought he was possible of. She couldnt breath. [B]"You are mine. I went through a lot of trouble to find you and you WILL come to me when you are finished, be sure of it. Because if you do not... the concequences will be great."[/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]He let go of her and she fell to the ground in a heap.[B] "D..dont..."[/B] She squeaked out as she saw him approach Kerrian.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred][B]"This one is dangerous... And just to show you how serious I am here, Ill leave a reminder to you."[/B] He pulled out a knife and cut Kerrian across the face. Blood stained the dirt by his head. [B]"Keep it in mind. You are mine and in the end I always get what I want."[/B] And then he vanished into the night.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]Rain rushed to Kerrian's side. She focused as best she could on the cut and soon it was mended but not very well. The bleeding had stopped and it wouldnt start up again unless someone tore it open. She was shaking terribly and tears flowed down her face, landing in verious places on kerrians face. A drop landed on his right eyelid and he twitched. She glanced down suddenly very quiet. His eyes slowly opened and he sleepily stared at her then he realized that she was crying and the wound on his face...[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred][B]"Im so sorry! I am sure it wont scar! Im so sorry..."[/B] Was all rain could spit out once she realized he was awake.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#8b0000]----[/COLOR]
[COLOR=black]ooc: HAH really long i know but iv been trying to get this part out for ever now... so yeah. Anyways yeah.. I guess rain now knows why everyone else was on edge lol[/COLOR]

[Ugamon]

[COLOR="SeaGreen"][I][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Kerrian Looked up at Rain Who was Crying.. He felt a pang of Worry for a moment then felt heat on his face. Puting a hand on his face he felt a mark there wonder how it got there... He watched her face and blinked..

Sitting up he glanced around it was still night and the others were still pasted out. Turning back to her he Uncertainly placed his hand's Around her and Comforted her as best he could..

As he Comforted her he swore he could almost feel a wave of fear Running off of her... Sighing Audioably he said. [B]Calm down Whatever happened it can't be that bad.. Besides.. It's Really a pain in the ass to kill me as the scars on my back show.[/B] He gave a wiry Grin as he said this and Stroked her Cheek Absentmindedly as he Got up and and moved off to check on the others.

As he finished checking on them he shook his head and said. [B]All of them out cold what Exactly did you do to them.[/B]He looked around and sighed as he waited for a answer and said. [B]Come on Rain or "Princesss Alanna Or whoever you are.. Tell me.[/B][/FONT][/I][/COLOR]

[Frankie]

[B][COLOR=darkred]"You were doing well at getting nice points from me up till that point. QUIT... CALLING ME THAT! I dont understand why you have the stupid idea in your head that im some princess. Desmond, you know you were asleep when this happend but hes the one who cut your face! He is the one telling me ill be a princess if i go to him, says im his and no matter what he will get me... so dont for a second thing i beleive that im anythign but some simplistic girl from the future!"[/COLOR][/B]

[COLOR=darkred]She was on her knees again, he had been so nice a few seconds ago, comforting her so kindly even though he didnt fully understand what had happend. How safe she felt there in his arms but then for him to stand up and say something like that... It was the harshest thing she had experianced so far. [B]"As for the others..."[/B] Her voice was weak, [B]"You all fell asleep when I was signing. When I worked at the orphanage in my time At night the kids would ask me to sing for them before bed. By the time i was done they were all asleep. I figured at the time that...it was just, i dont know... i guess i was wrong..."[/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred][B]"Des...mond?"[/B] He said after a moment.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]She glared at him, tears still streaming down her face,[B] "Yes. He was the one who intterupted the fight with the fire witch. He calls himself a prince and says he went through alot of trouble to find me and im his and he always gets what he wants... He then cut your face, i tried to heal it up best i could, im sure it wont scar... that would be just another damn burden to you now wouldnt it. Something to mess up your day... something else I caused... you are so heartless, and just as I was begining to think you were nice..."[/B][/COLOR]

[U][I][COLOR=darkred]I am rain... i dont know who alanna is or why that name keeps popping up but i cant stand it. Why... what is it with people...[/COLOR][/I][/U]

[COLOR=darkred]She rubbed at her neck where Desmond had gripped her so hard. It hurt terribly but not as much as the confusion and anger she felt towards Kerrian at the moment. Why did he insist on pulling that stuff up.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred][B]"And even if i was some princess alanna what the hell difference would it make?! Why the hell would you care!? its just a title... just...a ....name... nothing else."[/B] She was at her limit, no longer able to speak but to just sit there and silently cry as she stared at the blood stains in the dirt in front of her, the blood from the wound she had so quickly tried to heal...[/COLOR]

[U][I][COLOR=darkred]You wouldnt care either way![/COLOR][/I][/U]

[Ugamon]

[I][FONT="Comic Sans MS"][COLOR="SeaGreen"]Kerrian Was silent for a moment as she was and he said. [B]Because the Only Princess by that name was taken off somewhere as a infant.. She wasn't ever seen from since.. Until i met you I thought it was just a tale to keep Children from staying awake at night in fear.. A Prophecy Mentions her return with four Guardains at her side.. Together they Push back the tides of evil and Death and bring Light and life back to this world.. At my First glance of you the Discription.. The sword of my Father at your waist.. Murasumo.. Or Fang of the Dragon.. The Hair and Eyes.. All have Ways of saying you might be here.. The only thing that says other wise is your additude.. But i have long thought such things were over emblemished.. But perhaps.. I was wrong to assume after i Attempted to look into your soul.. Perhaps you are just some Freak of nature from a time. way after this world dies.. Something that ca...[/B]

[U]Suddenly Zeek Spoke out in a powerful voice that forced Kerrian to Hold his head and Glare at him. [B]Enough Kerrian. Is that Anyway to Speak to her after she save you from your Cursed state? I think not.. Now Just be silent.. Your tounge has gotten you far deeper then you relieze.[/B][/U]

Kerrian Glared at the Fuzzy Ball and said. [B]You Pomptus Little FUZZ ball You hide what she is and Pretend you know nothing.. You Lie to one who should know the truth. You have no place to talk.. I am the son of a secert keeper.. Many Know the results of a child of one,... They Are Compelded to tell truths as they see them.. Now Either you tell her or i will.. Your choice you little powder puff.. [/B][/COLOR][/FONT][/I]

[Frankie]

[U][I][COLOR=darkred]To be honest here it was a STRICT ORDER from the queen herself that I say nothing to anyone about this matter. If you are so smart then you should know i was her advisor of sorts. At her side durring the harshest of times and was there when she wrote her last words into her journal about sending Princess Alanna to saftey. Since you leave me no choice I will say that it is true that The queen died almost instantly after sending the newborn into the future... However only two people knew exactly when the baby was sent... Myself and her Father. I had nothing to do with her return and that means whoever did bring her back knew when and where she was... and how to do it.[/COLOR][/I][/U]

[COLOR=darkred]Zeek's feathers were golden red now, showing his slight anger.[/COLOR]

[I][COLOR=darkred][U]Yes...Rain is Princess Alanna but that changes nothing at this present time. We still are headed in the same direction with the same thought in mind and I would appreciate it if you stopped calling me names. I dont beleive I did much of anything to piss you off so much. For the son of a secret keeper you sure compose yourself as something far lower than that. You should also treat the princess far nicer than that, not because she is royalty but because she has a kind heart and has been nothing but kind to you up to this part ofthe trip. And I hope you realized she is fragile and your breaking the very will she has to keep going. You surely see that.[/U][/COLOR][/I]

[COLOR=darkred]They both glanced in the direction of where she was sitting only to notice she wasnt there anymore.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred][I][U]Oh shit...[/U][/I] Zeek sighed...[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]Farther away Rain ran... Fast and far. Anywhere but where those two were yelling. This couldnt be the truth... No way... She slowed down and saw something reflect ahead of her. She slowly approached what looked like a shrine. There sat the book from before, the journal malin showed her. Sitting carefully with a barrier around it. She threw a rock at it and it bounced off.[/COLOR]

[B][COLOR=darkred]"This cant be true... It..."[/COLOR][/B]

[U][I][COLOR=darkred]It makes sense though doesnt it, You were found as a baby on the orphanage doorstep, odd huh, yet your here ... listning to them say the queen herself sent her dauther into the future for safty... now where would a baby go...in the future all by itself...[/COLOR][/I][/U]

[COLOR=darkred]She reached out as if she knew the berrier wouldnt hold her and she was right her hand slipped right through. Grabbing the book she pulled it out and opened it up. There on the inside cover, a page which malin hadnt shown her, was a drawing of a woman with long red hair who looked much like rain. She was crying again but ignored it. She glanced down and turned the pages to the last. The last page was similar to what she read before however she noticed that the back cover was a fake... she peeled the paper off to reveal another picture... the baby zeek and the queen and written below it were the words [I][B]"Princess Alanna must be protected at all costs. She will be sent far into the future to live there untill the time is right... Zeek, Myself, and the childs father, who has left and been gone for a while now, knows where the child is being kept. She will be much like me our seer says. Songs of power and her fathers kinetic force she will indeed be a force to be feared..."[/B][/I][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]Rains eyes were to blurry to read the rest... she slid down along the wall of the shrine to the ground. Rain began to fall from the sky in a thunderous downpour. [/COLOR]

[U][I][COLOR=darkred]Why me...[/COLOR][/I][/U]

[Astdis]

[COLOR="Green"]Sage had finished washing in the stream they had passed on their way to where she and Virgil had set up camp. When she left, Milo was brushing the horse and talking to him softly. Virgil had sent himself up to be the first on guard and was setting up their fire for the night.

Sage bent down and filled her water skin, letting the sound of the trickling water envelope her mind and calm her. [I]The violence of the day had caused her adrenaline to surge to a point it had not hit nearly a year. She had left the battles to find answers, to find a cure, and perhaps revenge if it was to be had, but never the less, she hadn’t been in a fight in a long time. The thrill of it…[/I] She took a deep breath and shook her hair dry.

Standing, she slung the water pouch back over her shoulder and had turned to go back to the camp. Sage paused, listening. [I]What was it? What made her stop? [/I]Then she heard it again. The wind had picked up and she felt the heaviness of it. She turned away from camp into the woods on the opposite side. [I]A rain storm was coming… and someone was crying.[/I]

Sage pushed the branches aside as the rain hit. A moment later, she came into a small clearing, where she saw Rain collapsed and crying.

She rushed over to her, knelt beside Rain and wrapped her arms around the girl. Closing her eyes she pulled on something deep within and pushed a warm calm out through her into Rain. Rain turned in her arms and buried her face into Sage’s shoulder, still crying, though the intensity of it had slackened a bit.

After a moment, Rain raised her head. Her eyes held embarisment, fear, and doubt [B]“How did you find me?”[/B]

Sage brushed a semi dry hand across Rain’s cheek as if to wipe her tears, though in the pounding rain it did little good. Sage gave her a small reassuring smile [B]“It’s part of the healer’s gift.” [/B][/COLOR]

[Frankie]

[COLOR=darkred]Rain then looked up at sage and remembered what had happend earlier, [B]"How did you get wake up so fast..."[/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]Sage thought a bit back... At camp everyone was there and on edge, and rain took guard and sang moments later everyone had passed out into a deep sleep. [B]"Hmm... Ill riddle that one out later, what is wrong? Why are you huddled here by this..."[/B] She realized the ywere at a shrine in the middle of the forest and the words Korina Shrine had been carved into the wood above it. A shield of some sort had been protecting something but the barrier bubble was empty... She then also realized rain had a book laying next to her but in the darkness she couldnt figure out what it said on the cover. [B]"Shrine... Hmm. What is the matter?"[/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]Rain stared at the ground as rain poured down onto the small wooden roof of the shrine. Not the best time... for someone to pop up.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred][B]"I dont really want to talk about it right now... and I... I want you to go back to camp. Do me a favor too..."[/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]Sage glanced at the crying girl, [B]"I dont think you should be out here by yourself..."[/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred][B]"I dont care... Just go back for now and please... Please make sure Kerrian and Zeek dont kill each other... They were arguing so badly earlier... I couldnt stand it. Please go back, maybe you can wake the others... You have the healing ability maybe you can wake them up but only if it is needed, they will sleep soundly untill morning unless something happens and they need waking... I just really need... to be alone right now."[/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]Sage was still very concerned about her being out here all by herself, [B]"I..."[/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]Rain glowed for a moment with anger and frustration, [B]"Please!"[/B] She was still crying but made it sound quite forcefull just the same.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]Sage nodded and stood up. It made her worry seeing Rain like this but it couldnt be helped she figured. Without anything else said she returned to camp where Kerrian and Zeek were glancing around and occasionaly shooting very nasty glares at each other...[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred][B]"If you are wondering where Rain went... She is at Korina shrine but... She wants to be left alone, glowed quite a nice red when I was adamant about staying there with her... She also wanted me to make sure you two didnt destroy each other for some reason... So what the hell did I miss when I was passed out?"[/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]---[/COLOR]
[COLOR=black]ooc: Rain crying upset alone in a rainstorm... Oh yeah... Wonder why it started raining :P[/COLOR]

[Ugamon]

[COLOR="SeaGreen"][I]Kerrian Sighed at Sage's Comment and Said. [B]I will go Fix my Blunder.[/B] Turning to Zeek he said. [B]However this still doesn't mean what I Did tell her was wrong.. She did need to hear it.. But i did it far rougher then need be.[/B]

Sage Gave a Nod however her Expression was unsatisfyed with the answer. Zeek Merely Thought said to Kerrian. [B]You Are such a bastard.. Still Something about you bugs me..[/B]

Kerrian Snorted and said. [B]Sage gather the group Have them move up the path.. Rain isn't far from the mines we need to go into to cross the mountains..[/B]Sage Nodded and said. [B]Meeting you there?[/B] Kerrian Simply Nodded and walked into the forest Making his way to the Upset Rain. After a bit of walking he saw her on the ground Crying with a Book Next to her.. Sighing he walked closer to her but stopped after he was five feet away and said. [B]Your Right your not Alanna.. You Might have been.. Could have been.. But your not her as she was known..Your who you are and you control your own Destiney.. I Should have Refrained my self [/B]

Rain Looked at him Strangely for a moment Until she met his eyes and it appeared as if she wanted to say something. [/I][/COLOR]

[Frankie]

[COLOR=darkred]Rain was staring at him and he was soaked from walking in the rain. She was contemplating the many futuristic terms she could use to describe his actions but so many came to mind she had no idea what to say. She slowly moved and pulled herself from the ground and stood up. She glanced at him and stepped out from the Shrine's roofing and was instantly soaked just like he was. She walked closer to him untill she was maybe two feet from him which was far closer than she wanted to be but she felt compelled to do something.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred][B]"You... Are by far.... the biggest DICK I've ever met!"[/B] She shouted.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]He looked comletely confused by these words and Rain didnt care.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]She continued,[B] "So what if I am or not... You said I am not her but here, read this, the whole thing!"[/B] She slammed the book into his chest which made him step back a bit to keep his balance. He opened the book and glanced through the pages and stopped when he reached the end. He had to reread a few things and nodded.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred][B]"Rain... What I meant was... You have made yourself into your own person. If you really were Princess Alanna then you no longer follow that path. You are you... Rain is Rain. I didnt...mean to say it in such..."[/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]With a roar of frustration she punched him in the chest,[B] "Dont you dare say that you fuck face! You ment it, When you say something at that time you mean it. You never go back on your word, its retarded!"[/B] [/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]She continued to hit him, which barely actually effected him but he stood there looking down at her drenched red hair as she continously pounded on his chest. He reached down and grabbed her by the wrists, [B]"Let me just say this one thing..."[/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]She glanced up at him with anger and sadness in her eyes, why did he have to be so damn confusing![/COLOR]

[Ugamon]

[COLOR="Green"][I][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Kerrian Looked her directly in the eyes and leaned in to Kiss her. His Lips Were Warm with the passion he sent into her Pushing the doubt, Worry, Hurt and fear from her mind and when he finally pulled away he said. [B]I Always tell the truth.. That is not optional.. But i can hold back Facts and Keep things from being said.. that IS a option.. [/B]

He Pulled his Cloak off and Draped it over his Shoulders and said. [B] No Matter what it says you are who you are.. Not someone else.. And i should have not mentioned the fact until you were ready.. Your Little Feathery Friend Zeek Was right there.. But you should have been told..[/B]

He closed his eyes and Held her Tight and let the Single Tear that could have easily been mistaken for a raindrop fall down his Cheek. Truthfully his Curse came twofold.. One He was Cursed as a Protector of this Forest as well as Forbidden to Love.

As he Stood there holding her the Forest starts to flutter from a Light breeze and the Rain stopped. Both of them looked up at the now Clear sky and he swallowed The Moon Showed in the sky in it's Waning state and he said softly. [B]Lets get to the camp site before the others... we need to rest more fully and prepare our gear to go into the mines.[/B][/FONT][/I][/COLOR]

[Frankie]

[COLOR=darkred]She was more in shock than any other time here in this past world. What he had just done was so much of a shock it put the shock of the royalty stuff and general shock of being in the past to shame. Did he do that to calm her down like she had done with him earlier? Or was there another reason?[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]As he held her there the rain slowed to a stop and the sky cleared up so they were standing in the bright moonlight. He pulled away finaly to mess with his cloak a little and she noticed the look on his face, He couldnt lie to her if she brought it up but felt that she shouldnt, though she could see some feeling of being torn about something, and it ALMOST looked like he had been crying orwas about to. She could see the color around his eyes but decided not to question it.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]He recommended that they return and get some rest and she silently nodded. After a while of some bland silent walking the returned to the camp and Zeek floated up to her.[/COLOR]

[U][I][COLOR=darkred]Rain... I...[/COLOR][/I][/U]
[U][I][/I][/U]
[U][I][COLOR=darkred]Do not bother yourself with apologies for keeping shit secret from me. I dont care at this point. Even if you hadnt said anything I think I was destined to find this in the forest anyways so I would have figured it out on my own eventually.[/COLOR][/I][/U]

[COLOR=darkred]She held out the Journal of Sistania. So its alright Zeek. Sure I beleive the way you guys went through all that wasnt right but Kerrian is right it needed to be said, I needed to know.[/COLOR]

[U][I][COLOR=darkred]Where did you find her journal?[/COLOR][/I][/U]

[U][I][COLOR=darkred]At the shrine in the forest. Korina Shrine or something like that. It solidifies everything so I wont run from the truth anymore. But that doesnt mean I will face it yet. I am Rain and no matter what that is the person I made myself out to be and thats who I will remain to be unless I see need to change something. So do not expect much princessy actions out of me.[/COLOR][/I][/U]

[COLOR=darkred][U][I]Hmmm Zeek said,[/I][/U] his feathers switching from angry red to a deeper depressed blue color.[I][U] I was looking forward to your return to this time. It was always said that when you returned things would get better and the throne would be taken by the right people again... once we find it that is...[/U][/I][/COLOR]
[I][U][/U][/I]
[COLOR=darkred]Rain glanced at him, [U][I]Find it?[/I][/U][/COLOR]

[U][I][COLOR=darkred]Well the castle, the entire royal court castle vanished right before your birth. I could teleport stright into it no matter where it was but I couldnt figure out its actual location, so the castle itself is missing and the throne along with it.[/COLOR][/I][/U]

[COLOR=darkred]Rain glared at him, [U][I]Dont expect me to take up throne any time soon buster. You will be lucky if I do it at all![/I][/U][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]A hour later everyone was packed up and ready. Zeek had located some prey and toasted it up right nicely and got a pack for Rain to carry it in. She felt better doing SOMETHING even if it was carry rations and stuff. They all walked quietly for quite a while and made it to the mine entrance. The air coming from the mine was stale letting all of them know NO one had worked in there for years. At least not the silver mines created by humans anyways. Rain nodded and took the first step into the darkness after lighting up a torch with Zeek's help.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred][B]"Hmm this may take a while."[/B] She muttered and when everyone else joined her in the dark corridor they saw what she saw. Several different corridors branching off in different directions. This wasnt in their favor.[/COLOR]

[Astdis]

[COLOR="Green"][B]?Is there any way to tell which was more used?? [/B]Sage asked the others as she ran a hand over the rough cold walls.

[B]?No, they all look the same to me? [/B]Kerrian said, peering down one opposite her.

Sage ran a hand through her hair in a frustrated gesture. [B]?Between us we should be able to get a feeling, something telling us which to take?Rain, how about you? You posses the most unique and unexplained abilities, any feelings on where we should go??[/B]

Rain shook her head and looked at each path in turn. Then she closed her eyes?[/COLOR]

------------
OOC: be back Monday guys, keep me alive :catgirl:

[Frankie]

[COLOR=darkred]She had her eyes closed for what seemed like hours but it was only actualy a few seconds. In those few seconds she imagined the many different directions they could go and what could happen but nothing out of the ordinary pushed her in a certain direction. But something in her told her there was the knowledge down there somewhere.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]She placed both hands together as if to pray and thought deeply. Each path looked equally worn, the air from all three was stale, and there werent any flourecent lightbulb arrows pointing the way so she was shit outta luck on this one.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred][B]"What am I supposed to do now!?"[/B] She shouted suddenly... Everyone was silent, except for her echos which reverbarated from each tunnel. Her mouth dropped open, [B]"Was it really that simple?"[/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred][B]"What?"[/B] Sage asked curiously.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]Rain shook her head and laughed, [B]"Listen..."[/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]Again her voice echoed through the different path choices and sage smiled, [B]"Clever..."[/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]Kerrian too had figured it out and Milo caught on a few seconds later, even virgil nodded in agreement.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]Zeek glanced at Rain, [U][I]How did you figure it out and which one is it?[/I][/U][/COLOR]

[B][COLOR=darkred]"Easy Zeek, The echos last longer in that tunnel right there meaning its deeper than the others, meaning it goes deeper into the mountains so with that being said I say its our best choice for now. Maybe we will find clues along the way or maybe you might remember something huh..."[/COLOR][/B]

[I][U][COLOR=darkred]I... Right... I never traversed these tunnels, I was always able to shift between one place and another... thats why I seem to randomly appear to you. So i never had to take the long ways so I am as lost as all of you are.[/COLOR][/U][/I]

[COLOR=darkred][B]"Yes but maybe... Sistania ever say anything to you about the mines and tunnels?" [/B]Rain was now walking with everyone down the far right tunnel, the only light was that of their torches.[/COLOR]

[U][I][COLOR=darkred]Just that its more dangerous than you think even if it is unused by the Korina Villagers now... Thats all I know. I am sorry.[/COLOR][/I][/U]
[U][I][/I][/U]
[U][I][COLOR=darkred]I am sure... Mother... had her reasons for not saying anything to you, I just wish she had said something, anything.[/COLOR][/I][/U]
[I][U][/U][/I]
[I][U][COLOR=darkred]She did say you were going to grow up to be smart like your father and a quick learner like she was. Like it said in the book you keep strapped to your back now... She had someone she just called her seer. THey fortold you would have most of her powers but that little goblin blowing up thing was your fathers special ability and you have inherited it. She always talked about what she figured you would accomplish one day, while she was pregnent anyways, once you were born she was sure you would figure this all out and stop what was going on... I Wait.... Mother?[/COLOR][/U][/I]
[I][U][/U][/I]
[I][U][COLOR=darkred]Well... No matter what I say... I am the princess whether i like it or not. That means Sistania is my mother, so i should show her some respect for what she did to protect me. Calling her sistania after all that trouble she went through isnt right so yes... Even though she never raised me, didnt know me, and didnt watch me grow she is still my mother.[/COLOR][/U][/I]
[I][U][/U][/I]
[I][U][COLOR=darkred]She might not have raised you, might not have gotten to know you, but she has always watched over you no matter where or when you were...[/COLOR][/U][/I]
[I][U][/U][/I]
[COLOR=darkred][I][U]Thanks Zeek... [/U][/I]After that Rain was silent as they manuvered through the curving dark corridor of the mine.[/COLOR]
[I][U][/U][/I]
[COLOR=#8b0000]-----[/COLOR]

[COLOR=black]ooc: Ugamon is your turn...[/COLOR]

[Ugamon]

[COLOR="SeaGreen"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"][I]As the group walked down the main mine shaft Kerrian Walked ahead of the group with Rain. Sage, Virgil and Milo where in the back Hauling all the Packs as they made their way deep into the underground passages.. Each time they came to a intersection they did Rain's little Trick with the sound and kept going. Most of the time they went slightly uphill it felt like but everynow and then they came to a level area.. As they Paused for the second time in the day Kerrian Help set up a rest Camp.. As walked around a Bluish Nimbus of Light Surronded his hands and had Explained to the group when he had summoned it Earlier in the day it was jokingly called the Dance of the Firefly's but was really just a Tiny bit of Starlight that only lower level witch's summoned many more powerful ones tended to use Real Fire or brighter forms of magick to see.

As they Broke Camp again they Proceeded along without incident for the rest of the day until they came to a Intersection that was larger then the others..

Rain: [B]I guess we should Try the Echo Trick again huh.[/B]

Sage:[B] It seems to work Very well down here. [/B]

Kerrian: [B]Zeek wasn't there a Guardain in here somewhere.. Cuz i haven't seen one yet.. It kinda making me nervous..[/B]

Zeek: [B][U]Your right The Guardain Should have shown up b.... RAIN WATCH OUT [/U][/B]

A Huge axe Came out of Nowhere and Rain Responded Automatically and Backfliped into the air and as the Axe Struck into the Wall She landed on it's Flat side and Pulled her Sword Out. As the Full Figure Came out it was a Half Bull and half Man. The Arms of it were heavily Muscled and it's Cloven Feet Scared the ground as it Steped forward.

Kerrian: Great The God of Irony strikes again.[/I][/FONT][/COLOR]

[Frankie]

[COLOR=darkred]Taking a better look at the Minotaur Rain realized it had dark brown if not black hair on its body. Rain took a breath as she landed again from another dodge. Pulling out her sword she glanced at the others who were also getting ready for battle. This was going to be a normal thing for them from here on out she figured. The Minotaur roared and many pebbles and bits of dust and rock came loose from the ceiling of the tunnel. It fell down and got in Rain's hair. She sighed, [B]"This, mister cow, is not cool."[/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]The guardian roared at her comment.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred][B]"I guess cow was the wrong term to use..."[/B] She heard sage mutter.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]Rain laughed in an almost completely different voice,[B] "Aww to bad. Did I hurt your feelings? Tough Shit!"[/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]She leapt up as he grabbed his axe and prepared to attack again. She ran at him but he lifted up his fist and stood taller. She skidded to a stop ten feet from him, well within range to be hit by his attacks.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred][B]"No one shall pass here! I am Siyavash the Gaurdian Protector. You will not survive this."[/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]Rain grinned, [B]"Then why tell us your name if we are gonna die? Kinda wasted your own breath huh? Or is it you like hearing yourself talk?Course if I was stuck down here for who knows how long I think I might like to hear my own head rattle too."[/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]Zeek fluttered there, [U][I]Dear lord what has gotten into her? HEY... Rain get outta there!?[/I][/U][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]Siyavash roared in fury and swing his axe again but rain moved far to swiftly as though she intended for him to move that way.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred][U][I]Stay outta my head right now SUOH![/I][/U][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred][U][I]SUOH?! How do...you...Unless....[/I][/U][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]Rain ignored his comment and launched at the Minotaur while everyone else moved in. They all attacked at the same time dodging and slicing and everyone moved back when a rock fell from the ceiling. Rain saw the condition of the ceiling tunnel and smiled.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred][B]"He is large, stupid, but strong. Everyone get on the other side of him... we need to go down that part of the tunnel... If we cant kill him I want everyone in position. If he wont go down with just the few of us... I have a plan."[/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred]She snapped her fingers and they ignited and a small fireball appeared. She ran at him while still maintaining the flame. When he pulled back to swing at her she flicked the ball of flames into his face. He stepped back to claw at the burning and Rain sped up and slid right between his legs to the other side of him. He roared about the flames and swung his arm around and hit rain square in the chest. She flew back into the rock wall and left a dent where her head hit. She slid to the ground and looked up at the back of Siyavash's head. He faced the others figuring they were more of a problem now.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred][U][I]Well... that plan backfired... Now i cant see clearly... Thats what I get for getting cocky...[/I][/U] She rubbed at her eyes, they were pretty fuzzy but she wasnt gonna let that stop her. The rocks were not really that hard, they were of a soft make up which is why her head left a dent but it hurt none the less.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkred][B]"Come on guys, all together!"[/B][/COLOR]

[Ugamon]

[COLOR="SeaGreen"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Kerrian Saw Rain get hit and slammed into a wall and and Sage and Virgil Slashed from behind the beast and as it turned to Slash them Milo Crept up and Cut out one of it's back leg Tendions... The monster Roared in pain and Stumbled back.. Kerrian was leaning over Rain Casting a recovery spell when the monster started to fall on them..

Half out of fear for both Himself and Rain and half out of anger he raised his hand and Channeled Raw magick.. It was dangerous for those under the title of Magi.. But For some reason this Magick seemed chaotic and Orderly..A contriction of it's self..

As the angry Minotaur Fell On Kredion It's Body Spilt in two and the blood and Guts Spilled onto the ground as the BloodSpattered Witch and Rain looked at the others..His Stance was that of a Experince Swordsmen and in his hands was a Glowing Green light.. His hands Looked like praying hands however Flat and held a inch apart...

His Cloak was Still fluttering in the Current of the blast and Kerrian muttered. [B]Are we done Messing around? There has been no need for that much drama around here.[/B] [/COLOR][/FONT]

[Frankie]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=darkred]Rain was feeling better yet felt a hot rage within her as well. She did not think it was hers though. For some reason it came from deep within. She was tired of this.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[COLOR=darkred][SIZE=1][B]"This shit better be over with... Im tired of it..."[/B] She muttered.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=darkred]She got up and glared at the guts and blood that surrounded her. Kerrian was pissed by the looks of it and she was tired of this dark passage. Suddenly she smelt something. It was coming from the direction that they were headed towards so without a word she dashed down the passageway without the others. Completely disregarding some left over pain and slight recovery that was still going on. She could handle it. It seemed so familiar and yet so strange at the same time.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=darkred]She heard the others call after her but she ignored them. Some light shown from far ahead and she continued to run. She came to a halt in a grand room that looked like it belonged in a house not in a mine. Three tables in the center, each with three chairs. A counter was carved into the very rock and stone dishes were stacked there. Strange food was already on the tables. It had looked like... someone had just been here. The torches were still almost completely full she realized as they had oil in them instead of just flamable objects. Shefrowned.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[B][SIZE=1][COLOR=darkred]"Who was just here... Hey guys get up here, I found something..."[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=darkred]She glanced at the walls and noticed a writing. It looked nothing like any writing she had ever seen. In the corner of the room below some fancy lettering a very... short suit of armor sat on a stand as though for show or decoration. This seemed very strange. It seemed as though they werent in the normal mines anymore.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[COLOR=darkred][SIZE=1][B]"Where the hell are we?" [/B]She unstrapped the book from her back and dropped it onto the table. She glanced down and yanked it open and started combing the pages for any kind of clues. She could hear the others appoching so she continued to glance at the pages. She passed something and went back to it. The same writing was draw into the book.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=darkred][B]"So what is this..."[/B] She read a little but nothing useful came up untill the next page which mentioned Siyavash as a guardian of the "other" mines and that he wasnt easy to bring down, though he did not die the queen was still able to disable him. None of this info seemed to help her figure it out.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=darkred][B]"Well would you look at that... Hmm Dwarfs and they left us a table and a bunch of words we can't read... Hey look Zeek there is some armor we could shove you in..." [/B]Kerrian said as he entered the room.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=#8b0000][U][I]Hah hah very funny, Wild Man. I wonder where the little guys went, since the food is fresh and the fires are well lit.[/I][/U][/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=#8b0000][B]"Who cares, I want to get out of this psychotic place and this damn book mentions a passagway but not how to get to it. Something about gah its so old the damn writting is smeared and faded in areas... Man I wish Mother had used some kind of wear proof ink at a time like this, sheeesh."[/B][/COLOR][/SIZE]

[I][U][SIZE=1][COLOR=#8b0000]I Dont think that kind of thing exists yet. What do they use to write in your time?[/COLOR][/SIZE][/U][/I]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=#8b0000][B]"You have got to be kidding me... this is not the time to be asking for future lessons!"[/B][/COLOR][/SIZE]

[Starwind]

The situation was anything but desirable, but they would have to make due with what they had. Virgil was feeling a bit weak due to the blood lose. Thanks to his comrades the wounds had been healed, but this didn't make up for the fact that he was losing the feeling in his legs. They all took turns trying to decipher the esoteric and decaying text in the book, for all the good it did them. No one seemed sure what it was trying to say. It was so smudged and faded it was seeming like a lost cause.

Virgil looked around, hoping to see a clue to there where abouts, and the fastest way out of this death trap. It was obvious that someone was here only a short time ago, but had left abruptly. Or maybe someone had been waiting for them. The set up just seemd too perfect. Were they being watched or were they simply scared off by the minotaur? It was just to hard to guess.

Virgil patted Sage and the shoulder [B]"Do you think this is some kind of trap? Or maybe just an odd style of hospitality?"[/B]

Sage looked to Virgil [B]"I'm not sure. Why, what are you thinking?"[/B]

Virgil took in a deep breath through his nose [B]"I'm thinking this food is starting to seem awfully appealing since none of us have had a decent meal in almost 2 days now."[/B]

Sage hesitated for a moment. Milo looked to him as well, while Kerrian, Rain and Zeek seemed to be entertaining each other. Milo spoke up [B]"Your not gonna eat are you? What if it's poisoned, you idiot!?"[/B]

Virgil looked to Milo [B]"The way things are we can either eat the food and risk the poison. Or, carry on without and watch our strength diminish until we can't fight back anymore."[/B]

Neither Sage nor Milo said a word. Starving and poisoning were both pretty grim prospects. Between the last two fights and all the blood they had lost, without food, they were gonna collapse pretty soon. Virgil reached down to the plate and picked up a strange looking piece of still warm meat and went to take a bite.
