RPG Urth: Legacy(play)

[Heartless Me]

The sky was a canvas of orange, pink and yellow as the sun prepared to hide itself beyond the edge of the world to sleep... The moon had already been in sight high into the air hours before eager to steal the suns throne for the night. Far below the sun and moons eternal fight for dominance in sky set upon a thick forest, A young man sits. He had a dream of this place, the clearing was approximately 25 feet in diameter and was to perfect to be natural but to beautiful to be man made. The ground was littered with dusk lilly's and the outer lining of the grove was laiden with weeping willow's. The center of the opening contained a small fresh water spring with some larger rocks around it, this is where he sat. Waiting.

Ever since he were a young boy he'd been having these dreams over and over again. He was sitting in the middle of the clearing described above, there were several other figures there but he could never make them out. they were battling a great evil and loosing. He started to panic and just before a giant black metaled sword collided with his throat, he woke with a bloody scream and covered with cold sweat. His uncle would enter the room and tell him he just had a nightmare and that he should go to sleep. Now he sat in the ring waiting for the others. Ever since he had the dream he knew.. He just knew there were others like him that were having the same dreams and visions but noone would ever believe him.

Alriy was about to fall asleep when he was roused by an ominous noise. Something was coming towards him, a rustle in the bushes could be heard and his eyes narrow. Resting his hands on his swords he was totally prepared for anything that may come from the foliage.

OOC: Paved the way for someone to show up! lol

[Deedlit]

[i]Suddenly, some goblins leapt out of the bushes. Alriy was about to attack them when a figure leapt out after the goblins and slashed them with a sword. Alriy was in a fighting position in case the newcomer was a foe. The figure had its back turned to Alriy, so he couldn't see the face. Then the figure started to mumble to itself.[/i]

???-darn goblins. I can't believe they got away after they killed my companion.

[i]The figure didn't seem to notice Alriy yet. It knelt to the ground and cleaned the blood-covered sword on the grass and stood up. Alriy took a step forward. The person suddenly became alert and swiftly turned around to face him. Alriy noticed that the person was a female Elf with blue eyes and long brown hair.[/i]

Alriy-Who are you?

[i]The Elf stared at him suspiciously. It was a while before she spoke.[/i]

???-Elsyan Tarayavie the High Elf. What about you? Are you a friend or foe?

Alriy-I'm Alriy. As for friend or foe, it depends on what side you're on.

[Phantom]

[COLOR=sienna][I]Ilythiirtar, sitting in his perch in the forest near Alriy?s residence, his eyes flutter open from his slumber. A soft bristling sound from below him becomes ever present. Swinging his cloak over his body, allowing it to resonate the quiet hum that allows him to appear invisible.

Lauren, a seemingly lost elf finally protrudes from the bushes. Her soft skin tattered and bruised from what only could be the result from a great deal of fighting. This reason giving her good reason to cause a minor disturbance in the bushes?Her body aches, calling out to her mind for rest, begging it, again showing the reason she moves so clumsily through the woodland.

Materializing before Lauren, Ilythiirtar protrudes from one of her shadows, as she wearily flips backwards, drawing her blade from its scabbard, whilst her free hand gathers mana?st within the air, charging her energy in the flash of a second.

Crouching slightly, his scarab husk emits a grayish yellow resonation of Ilythiirtar?s embodiment with the darker elements. The outer rim of the armor glints with a glossy tone of ebony. Its impenetrable casing is soft, permitting agile movement within it. Underneath is a soft fabrication of wire fleece. Its paper thin texture rubs Ilythiirtar?s torso as a feather would glide softly over a baby?s nose. Its fabric is made of simple studded armor, sewn together so closely with the mystical fibers of the Elkwold branch that nothing more than air can circulate through it. Tucked away behind the plethora of armor coating this Shadow-Knight bears, lays the amulet of his loves procession. Its gold chain visible around Ilythiirtar?s protruding neck muscles.
His bangs wave gently for it is still being caressed by the loving amulet that keeps him calm. His cloak lulls over his entire being, revealing only a minute opening on his frontal plane. The cloak is of satin, a dark midnight ebony shade of black that turns translucent with his sheer concentration. Beneath the cloak lay three articles of weaponry. His Shin-Bar, a fire rich Shasmir that sets a flame anything in which in has contact with, except for in its master?s hand, it is as cold as a midwinter night in the decimate planes of the Asunsheiro arctic deserts that lay in the lands to the far north beyond the humble Elvin world of Faerun. Ilythiirtar?s second blade is the Xzarite. This blade wrought forth the forging of the purest silver, the sister sword of Lycanis, which is a sword wrought of pure silver as well, for a Lycanthope to use. His final weapon is hung strapped to thine right leg. For this crossbow shoots at a speed that would destroy many orcs if only it could muster the strength to do the damage required. However, it is capable of much more than damage for it momentarily paralyzes it?s prey, leaving the inflicted vulnerable to a harmful, blast of anything this seemingly little Elvin warrior wilst unleash.[/I]

[B]Ilythiirtar:[/B] ?Who art thou, and why dost an elf move with such clumsiness??

[I]Watching her pass over with fatigue, Ilythiirtar sweeps beneath her within the fraction of a nanosecond, cradling this older elf?he moves with her on his back, swiftly to anyone. He spots Alriy and another conversing?.

Dropping her at the feet of Alriy, Ilythiirtar again folds into the shadows, he flips backwards, drawing himself into his ever-present shadow, allowing it to envelope him into the shroud of darkness which only a Shadow-Knight can do?[/I]

[B]Alriy:[/B] (thinking) ?Hmm, I wonder how she even made it here, such a dilapidated body?.? (a loud) ?Rest well, young angelic one. Elsyan do you know this elf??

[I]Resting at his perch once more, his eyes close with a slumberous haste, one to which he rarely has the pleasure of experiencing.[/I][/COLOR]

[Muse]

[I]Lauren layed there for about 3 or 5 seconds on the ground,and then her eyes sprand open.The two infront of her jumped back in suprise as she jumped up and stared at them confused.Feeling herself almost fall over again from faint,She muddered something in an Ancient lost Language.[/I]
[B]Lauren:[/B]Gahneo Hearek,Gahneo Hearek!
Translation:Heal Me,Heal Me!
[I]A strong Gust of air surronded the Elf,Making the Dark Mystic and The High Elf bring their arms to their faces to keep the wind away from their eyes.After The gust of wind ended,Lauren stood with all of her bruises and Scratchs gone.Her golden Shirt and pants shone brightly in the setting sun.Her heair was short and Deep black,Her Bow and Arrows hung on her back.[/I]
[B]Lauren:[/B]I take it none of you understands Lost Elf Language,Right?[I]Before she could let them answer,She sniffed the air,She smelled...Or more like senced something.[/I]

[Deedlit]

[i]Elsyan and Alriy had senced it too. The turned their heads in differnet directions trying to find where the strange presence was coming from.[/i]

Elsyan-It's coming from over there. *Elsyan points in the direction*

Alriy-if it's an enemy, will you be able to fight, miss---erm....

Lauren-Lauren. My name is Lauren, and yes, I am able to fight.

*Now, the presence was coming closer. They could now hear it as it moved through the bushes. Suddenly, a form appeared.*

[Phantom]

[COLOR=sienna][I]The form they saw was simply Ilythiirtar playing with the shadows again....

A now healed Lauren still looking up at the two people looming over her hears a faint racket in the bushes? Scared that it?s demons again, she reached for her blade, again empowering her mage skills, she motions for the others to follow?

They all do so, walking slowly forward, following the sound. All with their weapons drawn, ready to severe the very demonic force they sift through. The clutter completely stopped by now, they look around the dense woodland with utter bafflement, not know what to expect.

[B]Ilythirrtar:[/B] (thinking) ?Oh my, I was going to introduce myself in the morning so I wouldn?t frighten them?Aw well..?

[B]Alriy:[/B] (to Lauren) ?Dear? ?.Young elf?what is it?.do you still hear it??

[B]Lauren:[/B] (responding) ?No, not anymore?.I still sense a presence. T?is strong enough to feel?..?

[B]Elsyan:[/B] (to Lauren) ?Yes, I feel it too?.If this is one demon I sense, we should be worried?..?

[B]Alriy:[/B] (to them both) ?Fear not ?Alone we are not but I have felt this force before?be weary however, Ilythiirtar is a friend from my childhood?. His father died, and was a pupil of a great mentor..

[I]Smiling as he looms within the shadows, knowing they can feel him but cannot see nor detect him?..He could kill them all right now if he wanted to. Unproductive though.....so he decides to scare his old friend.

Swiftly moving, he emerges from Lauren?s shadow, facing them with his left knee on the ground, while both hands well up with the invisible dark magic that flows throughout his veins. The mana?st gleams from his palms.

Lifting each and every one of them with the dark telekinesis, the amulet he boasts, was given to him by another childhood friend, Eve.. She encloses the powers of the wind within it. He tortures them with the wind, making them laugh helplessly. Ilythiirtar drops them each slowly, letting the wind stop to a dead calm. He looks at Lauren, letting his dark grey eyes sparkle with caption. For she knows it was him to brought her here. He gazes into new eyes, those of Elsyan, which stare away from him. The blue glimmer which they hold captivates his concentration for a few seconds. Knowing she won?t look him directly in the eye, he lifts the index finger of his right hand. At this her face shifts uncontrollably to meet his simmering grey eyes, which look as though so calm that they are set aflame with dryness. She closes her eyelids, than realizing its useless, as he gently opens them for her.[/I]

[B]Ilythiirtar:[/B] (telepathically to Elsyan) ?Thine electric blue eyes art truly stunning?.?

[I]Letting her be, his eyes are drawn to his old friend Alriy, who looks on with a smile from ear to ear..[/I]

[B]Alriy:[/B] ?Oh, Ilythiirtar?Amazing me is something you cease to neglect doing??

[I]Jumping forward clutching Alriy in a long manly embrace?[/I]

[B]Ilythiirtar:[/B] ?Oh thank yee mine good friend?. You know, it has been increasingly dfficult to sleep in this forest. I was hoping that I would get some rest for tomorrow.?

[I]Looking over his shoulder toward Lauren, Ilythiirtar smiles, telling her with his eyes alone that she indeed has senses of great magnitude, for he knew as he committed someone with greatness would hear.[/I]

[B]Ilythiirtar:[/B] ?Well?we have a lot to discuss my good friend....First about this horrid dreams?.I HAVENT SLEPT SOUNDLY FOR MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!....Arg?Why must they avail me ?.?

[I]At this, they all take gait moving toward the cabins?..for the next morning will indeed be a long one?[/I][/COLOR]

[Muse]

[I]Lauren streached her arms and sighed,Then turned toward her companions.[/I]
[B]Lauren:[/B]I think I will check our surrondings.
[I]Lauren was once again engulfed in Wind,But this time it did not heal her,It gave her wings.White,Silkey,Smooth Wings.She flapped them slowly and she slowly rose up into the air.Plenty of trees,Thought Lauren.After she was down looking aroundmshe decided to have some fun and just fly around.After hours of flying,Lauren returned to ground and Wind lashed at her,Making the wing dissaper(SP?).She found the sofest bit of ground infront of the Cabin,She felt safer sleeping outside[/I]

[Heartless Me]

Alriy sat up part of the night leaning against a dead tree trunk outside the cabin looking up at the night sky. Not long after he had rested his body there he had felt a hand on his shoulder. Alriy looked up to stare directly into the eyes of a captivating young elven woman, Lauren. It was said that the Lost Elve's were the most beautiful of their kind, even without their angelic wings. Lauren was no exception. Alriy smiled up at her as she rested beside him.

Lauren: Couldn't sleep? I can't blame you.

Alriy: I've not slept in a week... every night I awake screaming... I won't disturb the rest of the others.

Laurens eye's soften as if she knows something he does not and looks down.

Lauren: You have some kind of destiny don't you? I can sense it in you.... A greater purpose beyond this dream even.

Alriy: No... I'm just plain old Alriy, always have been always will be..

Alriy sighs sadly and looks up at the ocean of stars once more and shortly after closes his eyes. Lauren shakes her head sadly and places her hand upon his for a moment before taking it back and looking down.

Lauren:(Thinking)"He doesn't even realize how important he is."

[The Harlequin]

[font=gothic][color=crimson]OOC: Sorry I'm a little late people.

IC:[I]Among the trees, a single figure stood unobserved. Elven born and taught stealth allowed him to remain. Walking silently in, he approached, finding only two people awake. Standing silently behind, just out of ear shot, he observes them closely before making any noise. They turn, slightly startled. The female elf is the first to speak.[/I]

Elf: Who are you? Why do you approach like a thief in the night? You are certainly dressed slow.

[I]Resigned to the probable reaction, Lacroix does not answer. Instead, he lowers his hood. The bright moon does nothing to hide his raven black skin and hair. The two are even more surprised. Drow are very nearly the most despised race around. Only hellspawn are hated more, and quite often mistakenly. Drow were far worse. Lacroix approached slowly.[/I]

Lacroix: I have no wish to harm any of you.

Elf: We'll be the judges of that.[/font][/color]

[Heartless Me]

Alriy's suprise was quickly abated, after all, his kind were not necessarily the nicest of people. He merely nodded to this Drow and let a small smile, his black eyes gazing into the eyes of his fellow purson. Lauren however still seemed wary.

Alriy: My name is Alriy. All are welcome here, Tell me. Hast you been victim to the dreams as well?

Lacroix: Thank you friend, Yes I have. I came to this place to see if others have, I guess I was right.

Alriy: Well then you are welcome to rest in the cabins, We shall all gather in the morning to decide what is to happen next.

Laxroix nodded slightly and made his way to the Cabins as Alriy get's comfortable next to the tree trunk again. Lauren watches him the entire way into the cabin before returning to her soft spot near the cabin sleeping lightly incase Alriy happened to be wrong.

[Muse]

[I]Lauren yawned and turned to Alriy and smiled softly[/I]
[B]Lauren:[/B]Its getting late,I shall sleep.But I will sleep lightly incase you have the dream again
[B]Alriy:[/B]Thank you,Sleep well.
[I]Lauren smiled and relazed her shoulders,Fast asleep in mere minutes(SP?)[/I]

_____________
Sorry its so short,Im very tired.:) :sleep:

[Phantom]

[COLOR=sienna][I]Opening his eyes, Ilythiirtar senses an additional presense in the band of men/woman. Jumping from the roof of the cabin, he reveals himself from under his translucent cloak.[/I]

[B]Ilythiirtar:[/B] (bowing) ?Good morning Lauren, Good morning Elsyan?. For once I was not haunted by that ill-fated dream. There is a drow in our presence. There must be. Not many others can awake me from such a ghastly nightmare as this one, you all know.?

[B]Lacroix:[/B] (appearing from out of nowhere) ?And I could sense you? I saw you on the roof, I felt you in the perch high in the Elm tree. I saw your every movement last night.?

[B]Ilythiirtar:[/B] (retorting) ?This I know. If you didn?t I would wonder why you call yourself a drow. Besides, I am still young. I have much to learn, for only a Shadow-Knight I am, the mere equivalent of a Paladin.?

[I]With this said, they nod at one another in humble agreement?.letting this morning begin. For there is much to talk about and much to learn.[/I][/COLOR]

[Muse]

[I]Lauren rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and turned toward the others[/I]
[B]Lauren:[/B]Is it okay with you guys if I Flew around a bit,It helps me wake up.
[I]The others shook their heads,They were obviously tired to.Lauren once again was engulfed in wind and when it cleared,Lauren's Angel Like wings Sat on her back.She flapped a few times and shot into the air.She flew around for some hours as the others had breakfast.when The Sun peeked out over the Horizen,Lauren landed softly next to her compainions.[/I]

[Heartless Me]

Alriy sat back watching everyone else converse, enjoying a bit of bacon and eggs and a glass of light ale. Lacroix I am assuming was also relatively quiet. After breakfast and clean up dutie's, Lauren landed and walked over to the group. After everyone had been adjoined, Alriy stood and spoken.

Alriy: Alright all of you have gathered at this grove for a reason. We have been plagued by dreams of a great evil... One that may very well be the end of us all. Now I believe we may stand a chance, but we must all work togather, fight togather, learn togather. We have a great challange ahead of us. The 7 Legendary armors guarded by the avatar's of the 7 elder gods we must attain if we are to stand any chance against this threat. That is what I have to say... now you may add your thoughts and opinions.

[Phantom]

[COLOR=sienna]After finishing up his breakfast silently, Ilythiirtar looks around with dark grey eyes. Thinking about speaking up, he neglects to see why he had to travel this far for bacon.[/I]

[B]Ilythiirtar:[/B] ?Okay, the deal is? I come?cuz I get these dreams?.the rest of you came..cuz of these dreams?but why here? Ok..your important Alriy?that?s final?we all see this. It would take a fool not to consider the obvioius.?

[I]With general approval, Ilythiirtar takes helm,[/I]

[B]Ilythiirtar:[/B] (standing up, pacing as he thinks aloud) ?Alriy has the key, but without us, he is nothing so it seems. Else we would not be here?.Lacroix, you?re the one who is a drow?explain to me your thoughts??

[B]Lacroix:[/B] (finishing a mouthful of bacon) ?Well, you see?What I have learned over the countless years of this rubbish, is that you can never start empty handed. What I am getting at, is that there is much more than a band of five people here?there is a group of mysteries waiting to be solved?.This is about the most I have said in twelve years, so make use of it.?

[B]Alriy:[/B] ?What are you getting at Illy, I mean?sure my place, but me? Center??

[B]Lauren:[/B] (walking in) ?yes you?.for Christ?s sake, cant u tell??

[B]Alriy:[/B] ?Well?.no?

[B]Ilythiirtar:[/B] ?T?is okay? .its only logic my friend?besides?now we know where to start. When did you start having your dreams? ?do you know where you were, were you with anyone? ?why we will find out soon enough?but this vally?...what does it mean to you?is it from your life? ?we need these questions answered ?.maybe you can answer them? I mean we came to you for a reason didn?t we??

[I]They all rose, nodding at Ilythiirtar, for making the first, minor breakthrough of the morning. He blushed, knowing any one of them could have said as he did. He sits down again?awaiting Alriy?s disposition on this matter.[/I][/COLOR]

[Heartless Me]

Alriy stood silent for a long moment, the gathering grew so silent that the near nonexistant wind could be heard flowing over the field of wildflowers behind them. Finally he looked up with his black eyes and gazed around at the group of them.

Alriy: The dreams i've been having as long as I can remember. Location was there, in that dream behind me. If we all had the same dream it's pretty obvious that we all know who was in the dream and where. What we don't know is who exactly this dark power really is. But seriously I don't know how I fit into this right in the center? How do we know it's not you, Illy, or Elsyan.

Lauran let out an exasperated sigh then walked out of the room as Alriy gave her a confused look. Once again the room got deathly quiet.

[Deedlit]

[i]Elsyan looks to the ground and closed her eyes.[/i]

Elsyan-It's because of your presence.

[i]Everyone turns to stare at Elsyan. Then she looked up and stared Alriy in the eyes.[/i]

Elsyan-You are meant to fit right in the center. In my dreams, I saw several people that seemed vague and I could never see their faces. But there was one that was less vague and I could almost see the face. It was as if there was a light in the sky shining on the person. The person is you. The light singled you out, meaning that you are the one.

Ilythiirtar-So as you can see, you should be in the center. All of us seem to think so.

[i]The group then became silent for some while until someone spoke.[/i]

[Phantom]

[COLOR=sienna]Standing up once more, Ilythiirtar looks consciously around the room.

Ilythiirtar: ?Relics!!!!! ?that?s it?its been haunting me for the last week too.. relics?damn my friends?alright.. Alriy?you must be thinking exactly what I am for when I mentioned it your body grew quiet. Lets say there are relics of some sort?how will be go about getting them?certainly the clues lay within the dream?...dear all I know was that it glimmered and shawn to me like a wave of deception?.six of them there are..but only five of us?..Alriy? care to expand here my good chum??

As the rest watch, Lacroix just sits, and absorbs it?.Illy can tell that he has a powerful piece to this whole system of neuro-networked dreams.[/COLOR]

[Muse]

[I]Lauren sat out infront of the cabin.She had not summoned her wings to go away yet.Maybe she should just go by herself,Our maybe.Before she could finish thinking,12 ugly beasts sprang out of the bushs.They brandishing spears at Lauren.Lauren sighed and put up her hand.Slowly but surely energy started to form in her palm.The Orcs stood bewildered at the magic,not being able to move.Finally after ten seconds of gathering,A light blue energy hovered on her palm.[/I]
[B]Lauren:[/B]AIR BLAST!
[I]Lauren trust the blue orb at the Orcs.All twelve got a large blow from it.All fell down,dead.The others had heard Lauren and ran outside...[/I]

[Deedlit]

Ilythiirtar-Lauren! Are you alright?

Elsyan-what happened?

Lauren-Just some dumb orcs. Don't worry about them.

Alriy-Wow. You took care of 12 Orcs all by yourself without recieving a scratch?!

[i]Meanwhile, Lacroix was walking amongst the fallen corpses while muttering to himself.[/i]

Lacroix-Hmmm. Just a dozen of them?

[i]Then Lacroix turned to the others.[/i]

Lacroix-There's more around here. Orcs don't travel in such small numbers as this.

Elsyan-then we'll have to be on our guard.

[i]The group drew their weapons and awaited silently for any movements, sounds, or vibrations in the air. It wasn't long before the sound of footsteps could be heard coming towards the group. [/i]

[Heartless Me]

Alriys ears perked... they may look human but his sense of hearing was as good as an elf's if not better. He listened to the gait of the foot falls. the footfalls he heard were not of any bipedal creature, but something with many more legs.

Alriy: Stand back everyone.. Those aren't orcs coming. Orcs don't have that many feet and move that fast.

Lacroix You're right. The orcs must have been a scout team for somethign bigger and when they didn't return....

Illy: The big fellas came looking for them.

Lauren This could be bad.

Alriy: Your telling me.

Elsyan: What could It be though?

Lacroix: Whatever it is, it's almost here!

As that is said, Huge 30 ft long centipedes burst into the clearing, 3 of them in all, a 12ft tall cyclopian giant riding each one as it . The first one goes after lauran who takes off into the air immediately firing off arrows at it. The rest of the group not so lucky as they have no apparent flying ability.

Illy: spread out! one swipe from those centipedes backside could take down an entire platoon of soldiers!

The group did so fanning out their positions ready to strike back as the Cylopians gathered the electrical energy in their eyes ready to fire their lasers at the group of could be heroes.

[Deedlit]

Elsyan-oh no you don't! ELEMENT----FIRE!!!!!

[i]Elsyan put her hands in front of her as a red orb formed in her palms. [/i]

Elsyan-FIRE ARROW!

[i]Several long beams of fire shot out of the orb in the shape of arrows. The arrows landed in the creatures eyes as a thick green ooze spilled forth, blinding it temporarily. Lauren continued to shoot arrows at them as Alriy and Illy used the opportuninty to attack with their swords. They were doing well fighting them, but there was still the Cylopians to take care of. Knowing that their centipedes were unable to see, they dismounted and charged towards the group.[/i]

[Phantom]

[COLOR=sienna][I]Ilythiirtat took up position next to Elsyan[/I]

[B]Ilythiirtar:[/B] (telepathically) ?alright here is the deal. I am going to teleport behind the first one and drive him with my amphorism towards you ok? Do what you must to dispose of him.?

[B]Elsyan:[/B] ?Deal?

[I]At that, Ilythiirtar dissipates into the air, only to emerge behind the Cyclopian?his hands will forth the energy needed to plunge the sprawling monster forward, almost tripping over his feet.

Elsyan didn?t expect the force to be so strong?as the Cyclopian came forth at tremendous speed, giving her a fraction of a second to respond. Spreading her arms as though like a bird, she cries out in old evlen tengwar;


Amin, Canton oh amin?canton oh amin?.canton oh amin?canton oh shinkoru!!!!!


with that, a falconesse appears behind Elsyan, sweeping the Cyclopian into the air and pummeling it with rage?she draws her weapon jumping at it, letting the blade enter its hip? Ilythiirtar does the same, drawing his shasmir, plunging the fiery blade into the beasts back????..[/I][/COLOR]

[Deedlit]

[i]Elsyan withdrew her sword from the dead creature and wiped her blade on the grass as she passed her hand across her brow.[/i]

Elsyan-phew. That attack can take alot out of someone.

Ilythiirtar-what was that?

Elsyan-It was a spirit of the land that I summoned.

Ilythiirtar-I see. Well, there's still plenty more of them. Let's go.

[i]The small group was doing their best to take on the Cyclopians. Lacroix was slashing at them with his twin scimitars, Lauren was flying around them while attacking in mid-air, and Alriy was slashing at them with his rapiers.[/i]

[Heartless Me]

It appeared that they were fighting a loosing battle. A dark cloud appeared above the sky as they battled the cyclopians and their steeds the giant centipedes. Alriy's swords moved in a blurr as they hacked at the centipede... The creature snapped down to bite at him but a quick, agile slash upwards split it's face wide open.. The monster insect fell to the ground twitching from the reflex nerves in it's dead body.

Lacroix was busy himself taking on a cyclopian who's eye was not entirely made useless. the creature could still see even if his electrical organ was to damaged. Lacroix's movements though graceful and unerring were no match for the ancient power of the giant. Elsyan seeing this had dashed over to the one eyed titan and drew her sword slashing down upon him, unfortunately for her, the steal gauntlet on his wrist was easily used to raise up completely blocking her attack. Unluckily for the Cyclopian That left him wide open for a swift attack by Lacroix, spinning around and driving the sharp scimitar blades right into the soft side of the Cyclops. With a decently large splay of blood combined with a horrendously hideous cry from the monster it fell over dead at the spot.

Lauren obviously had an advantage, until that is one of the centipedes spit it's venom up at her soaking her right wing sending her falling toward the ground.

Lauren: AAAIIIEEEEE!!!!

Alriy: Lauren no!

Faster than anyones seen him move yet he bursted into action, his body moving in a blurr as he dashed towards her. Leaping up into the air, he landed directly upon the back of one of the centipedes running along it's back as it battled with Illy and now Elsyan who'd joined his side in battle while lacroix delt with the final Cyclops. The centipede reared upwards to dodge their attacks while also attempting to remove Alriy from his back. This however has proven fruitless as by the time he had started to move his body upwards he proceeded to drive both Rapiers into the head of the beast and leaping forward. Alriy stretched out his hands taking her into his arms as the both fell togather towards the rocky ground. However, mere seconds before they landed Alriy wretched his body to the side, rolling as they hit the ground Alriy landing on the ground first taking most of the fall damage. Lauren landing immediately afterwords rolling with Alriy to avoid to much damage.

Lauren: Thanks.

Alriy:(with a grin) Don't thank me yet.

He jumpt back to his feet helping her up and then turning to receive his rapiers tossed over by Illy. They all went then to attack the remaining centipede who was starting to retreat. Illy teleported infront of it.

Illy: Where do you think you're going?

Lauren:You are going to pay for what you did to my wing.

Lacroix:......

Elsyan: How does it feel to know your going to die?

Alriy: Enjoy your trip...

With that they all converged upon the centipede making quick work on the overwhelmed insect as they basically hacked it up. Alriy drops to the ground and tears stream down his face.

Alriy: This sacred ground has been defiled..... I'm sorry spirits.

Illy:(walking up to him) It's not your fault, friend.
