Knights: Fall of Camelot

Camelot?.or what was left of it. King Arthur is now in his later years, his dreams of an equal world shattered with the death of all of his knights. The only one to make it back alive was Lancelot. As he breathed his last breath he told his King of the misdeeds of the newest Knight of the Round table Grum.

Grum was in charge of a specially trained group of cavalry, what nobody knew was he had poisoned their minds into thinking Arthur and the rest of the knights had become corrupt. In the midst of a brutal battle with the mountain dwelling barbarians to the north, the cavalry joined forces. With sheer number of enemies, and the addition of Grum?s private sorceress, Sephira, all of Arthur?s soldiers, including his knights, were killed.

Arthur summoned the only remaining soldiers in Camelot. The ragtag bunch was few in numbers, but as he always did; Arthur was acting under Merlin?s direction. The old wizard had unbeknownst to anyone, not even Arthur, tied his life-force with the Kings. Meaning he was not long for this world either.

As the newly promoted ?Knights? sat in awe around the legendary ?Round Table? Arthur and Merlin entered, well were rather carried in. Merlin began speaking, since Arthur had lost the power. ?Knights, Grum has decimated the armies of Camelot beyond repair,? the old wizard had to pause to cough and catch his breath; ?he will be arriving within the day to take what he believes to be his. It will be up to you to save Arthur?s Camelot, and once again restore it to its rightful place as a beacon of hope to the world.? Another coughing fit, followed by a deep wheezing, he didn?t have much time left. ?As a last act, I am bestowing you, the last of the Round Table knights, with pieces of my power. Control over the elements; Wind, Fire, Earth, Water; Control over the plants, control over the animals. You will be tasked with finding an old schoolmate of mine, I have sent him a message and he will be waiting in the village of Shal, which you will get to by traveling the underground waterways out of Camelot. The path is marked for you.? The old Wizard, fell to the floor but didn?t stop talking. ?One more thing, you will need to be on the lookout for the undead, Grum?s sorceress has made deals with all the vampire covens, necromancers, and evil spirits of the lands. They patrol everywhere, be on the lookout. And under no circumstances are you to engage Sephira, she has made deals with demons and has even surpassed me. Only that schoolmate of mine will be able to aid you in combating her. Good luck Knights?.? The old wizard muttered something in Latin, and all at once the room exploded. All the knights were bathed in a blue glow?.and all at once it was over. One last coughing fit, in this one Arthur joined in as well. As everyone watched in horror as Arthur and Merlin breathed their last breaths simultaneously. Not one person could help shedding a tear.

After a long trek in the Waterways the group arrived topside in the village of Shal. Ducking from shadow to shadow, weary of anyone who could possibly be an enemy. Waiting, and looking for the old wizard to contact them.

Piece of Merlin's power: Full understanding of Soul Trapping

Biography: Brought in from the souht to study under a wizard under Merlin and to eventually become one himself. Everything was fine until Soul was cleaning the library and happened to stumble across an old dirty book in a chest witht he lock rusted off. the book was labeled Soul Trapping. Soul knew he shouldn't have taken it but decided to any way and began studying the long banned art.

One day one of his friend's happened to walk in his room while he was practicing the spell and accidently startled him causing the spell to go off tearing his freind's soul from his body and uniting it with his own. He felt immediately stronger then realized what he did and left.

He joined the mercenary busniess at a young age taking the souls from all the filth in the world. Unknowing to him though was that his soul was being tainted by the amount of evil he was bringing in his body for he knew not how to rid the soul of evil. One day he happened to kill a psycho sadistic mass murderer which in end altered him becoming the very same thing.

He went through the land killing everyone he came across till he was finally caught and thrown in jail after a seven year long spree of death. It was in there he met the nicest old man ever, a man who was wrongfully accused but didn't not speak back, he never did anything wrong. As soon as Soul was but in the cell he immediatly killed him as the man tried to help him with his wounds.

It was through the old man's soul that he returned to the light and has began repenting for his mistakes. He was released from prison when the guard heard that they needed fighters and had watched Soul train everyday for five years straight doing physical and mental conditioning pushing his body past the breaking point everytime.

He was allowed to leave and travel with them on one condition, He was never to remove his shackles and a guard was all ways to be with him.[/color]

[URL="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t30/danvi_2007/Anime_Knight.jpg"]Abel[/URL]

Weapon(s): Abel was chosen to weild excalibur in the
kings place. He has a shield that matches his armor
bearing the pendragon crest.

Piece of Merlin?s Power: Teleportation, Abel can teleport. The longer the distance the more concentration/strain it puts on his body.

Pendragon. His father was killed many years before
that after he broke away from Arthur and raised a
rebellion. Abel was very young when his father was
killed, but he still resented Arthur for his father's
death.

Though he was an easy going kid, whenever he was with
Arthur he acted as a hollow shell, never speaking,
always with a look of pure resentment on his face.
Finally in an attempt to get him some worldly
experience, he was made Grum's squire. Grum had never
treated him in any way other than as a brother, he
even had a special suit of armor crafted for him. Made
in the exact image as Grum's.

Grum elected to have Abel stay and not go with him on
to battle, Abel later realized it was because though
he acted out towards Arthur. When he was away from
him, he showed his true admiration for the king. Since
Grum had grown to like the boy, but realized he would
never go against the king, he elected to spare Abel's
life.

After the incident he was interegate by Merlin. With a
combination of truth spells he revealed that Abel had
no knowledge of the plan. Even with his name cleared,
it seemed as though there were still doubters.

Biography: She may be undead, but was raised by humans. Rika believed she was human until she was told the truth on her 13th birthday. Since then, she has never went near a human unless it was an emergency. She was the only vampire not to know of the deals until she was found by Merlin.

At the end of the meeting, though, she became a little more trusting of the others.

Name: Brimlith Illedilon

Age: Unknown, Appears 18.

Personality: Brim is a lighthearted kind soul but has a temper which can cause random explosions of arcane energy. He may have seen a lot in his years yet some times his wisdom fails him. he can be a bit bumbling at times?.. Maybe it?s old age or a youngster?s folly? Most think of Brimlith as a air headed wild mage but he is still very much respected in Shal, as he is they?re protector.

Appearance:[url]http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j61/takuuya/Prince_of_butterflies_by_PrincessEl.jpg[/url]

Weapon(s):[url]http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j61/takuuya/Magical_Bard__s_Lute.jpg[/url] [url]http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j61/takuuya/Fantasy_staff_by_gapipro.jpg[/url]

Powers: Rivals that of Merlin but lacks control

Biography: It was in the Wizarding shool back in the lands of Highjorhn where Brimlith created the immortality elixir it took so many tries but finally he had success and his classmate and close friend praised him for his accomplishment but refused to drink it, which angered Brimlith so much that the paper he wrote the final ingredients on burst into flames, he was never able to recreate the combination. What was Merlin?s reason in refusing it? He said ?Death should not be feared, but respected, we all must die at some point? but only because someone must live in our place? Of course Brim didn?t understand his riddle Merlin hoped one day he would.

After graduating at the top of their class Merlin and Brimlith went their separate ways but remained in contact. Brimlith wandered the earth aimlessly trying to find a place where he belong until he stumbled upon a little village who opened their arms to him for all he could do not only that but for his kindness they begged him to stay and protect them which he has. Brimlith became the advisor to the Chief of the nomadic/merchant village and his offspring and he was their guardian. Life was grand until his heart breaking message from his old pal.
