a new chapter

[Lore-Wolf]

*Torin waited for the others to move. so that he might not mess something up again.*

 

[Misha]

*Shinjy casually grabbed Torin's hand and the archonlings slowly went up the stairs and out.. a lot of smoke billowed out from the town as they emerged from the citadel*

Selene: .... what did the enemy do to our home town??

 

[Lore-Wolf]

*Torin looked around but couldn't believe what he was seeing.*
*Nirthy appeared next to him as she looked around. It brought up unpleasant memories..*
"This can not go unpunished." Nirthy said angered with her feelings mixed up.*

 

[varsaigen]

*The battle seemed to have ended, with no obvious victor. Kalek pulled himself up and spread his wings, taking flight to get a closer look at the city.*

 

[Misha]

Selene: all these houses, workshops, schools.. just.. wiped out...
Sophia: ..not to mention all the population Nexus once had.. all gone in a second..

*all the archonlings felt sad, especially Sonya*

 

[Lore-Wolf]

*Torin walked towards one of the weird looking plants.. It looked even weirder now. Torin touched it but it felt different than normal.*
"It were not only the people who died.."
*Torin sat down thinking why the plant died. He could find no explanation. Nirthy flew towards the plant and held one of the leaves. its sprang back up and regained its original colour. but as soon as she released it everything seemed to fad away again.*
"..Every live is taken away.." Nirthy said to complete Torins sentence.*

 

[Misha]

*Sonya, having followed Torin, seeing that, broke into crying, and leaned slightly on Torin's shoulder* Our beautiful city.. it's gone!

 

[Lore-Wolf]

"If it helps you.. I know what if feels like.. I've been trough the same hell and thought I lost everyone I cared about." Nirthy said*
*Torin made a disagreeing sound.*
"Luckily, except for you. Torin. But what I meant was. There is always hope, Just like I found Torin. Or actually as he found me. City's can be rebuilt.. As long as you hang on to the people surrounding you. And Believe that there is a future for you.. You could withstand it."
"So.. Think about it.. Is there a future for you Sonya? Of course there is. But you must be willing to see it for yourself..." Nirthy said as she looked Sonya straight in her eyes laying one hand on her shoulder.*

 

[Misha]

My future.. is with my friends, my sisters and my master, Nirthy. Thank you.. Someone will pay dearly for this..!

*a cloud of energy appears, and, followed with lightning arcing and loud sizzling sound, it forms into the archon* ..do not let anger and vengeance cloud your mind, Sonya. the Enemy we face should not be underestimated.. Now..we should leave this place.. and gather as much of our warriors, still loyal to us. You Younger ones.. *points towards Torin, Sonya and Sophia* shall go to the west, while the older *points to Shinjy and Selene* shall go to east. I wish you good luck, and be safe..

*and with more arcing, flashing and sizzling sounds, the archon vanishes*

 

[sacridshadow]

*Rhiannon drifted down to the ground, landing in a small clearing in the forest. She glared back in the direction of the city. "Curse you Demonhunter. If you had not interfered..." Rhiannon snarled and shook her head. "The Archon's power should not be underestimated." Rhiannon repositioned her body, sat down, and lifted her head to the sky. Her eyes glowed purple, and small white slits opened around her. Energy started seeping out of them, and dripped quickly in her direction to her, being absorbed with small flashes upon contact with her skin. The slits began to open more, and the energy flow began to increaase, soon becoming streams of energy. Sensing something, she quickly looked in the direction of the city. "I sense... survivors." She then rolled her eyes. "Of course there wold be survivors." But then she smiled wickedly. "But I sense sadness, rage, and best of all... fear. And they're on the move." The energy flow then lessened and the slits slowly closed.*

 

[sacridshadow]

*Replenished, she stood up and flapped her wings, launching her into the air. She found a lake nearby, and dove towards it. A spiraling vortex appeared and she flew into it with a flash of light. The vortex dissapeared, and she reemerged from a mirror in her throneroom. "Shadow Council, come forth! We have work to do!" She yelled as she laid down on her throne. Shadows appeared, standing tall, and large, black wings opened up to reveal six black dragons, each with bone white claws, fangs, and eyes. "What would you have us do, my queen?" The largest of them asked, bowing deeply.*

 

[varsaigen]

*Kaden swooped down over the city. Part of the city seemed in ruins from the battle that had ended, while other parts were unharmed. He found it awkward and disturbing as he drifted overhead. 'No mana... Why is there no mana?' His gaze crossed the buildings, before landing upon a flash of blue light below his path, 'Archon...' He sensed the sheer power of the Archon, unhindered by the flow of mana. It was like a bright light in the dark, with nothing to slow it down. He could feel every bit of the entity's power, and it unnerved him.

With a few more flaps, he raised himself to a safer height, and headed north for the border.*

They would see the dragon swoop over, I think. :/ Kinda hard to miss it with a dead-silent city...

 

[sacridshadow]

Well, he's also a blackish dragon, with a dark, black sky behind him. I doubt they'll see him even if they wanted to.

 

[Misha]

it is see-able, lol

 

[Lore-Wolf]

*Torin and Nirthy left the plant and listened to the Archons words.*
*Torin suddenly looked up and slightly moved his head.*
"What is wrong, Torin?"Nirthy asked.*
"Erm.. Nothing." Torin said as he thought for his self. "I've seen that creature before!.. Ah in the woods.. I remember.. It was gigantic. Has it done all this? And does he see us?"
Torin dreamed away in thoughts.*
"Torin.. Torin!"
"eh what?"
"You seemed to be sleeping.. We have to go.." Nirthy said
"I'm ready." Torin said

 

[varsaigen]

... He's not THAT easy to see against a night sky, like sacrid pointed out. Overcast, and black scales. All they'd see is something large rush overhead, and maybe the flapping of wings. Kalek doesn't want to get too close to where the Archon was. He isn't fond of being near such a large gap in power. (his compared to the Archon's) So they wouldn't recognize the dragon at all. Too far, too dark.

 

[Lore-Wolf]

"So we should go to the west. I wonder what awaits us there." Nirthy said.
"And I think this would be our goodbye Shinjy, Selene." Nirthy said as she slowly faded away towards Torin.*
"Sonya, could you lead us out of the city?" Torin asked

as for the not seeing part. I already talked with var. The only weird "looking" creatures torin knows are the archon and kaden. and since it didn't look like the archon but did look like the dragon. he though it was the dragon. and so it seemed.

 

[Misha]

Sonya: ..yeah.. *takes a sad look at the ruins of her home town and lets out a sad sigh, then she goes forward, towards a big white gate*

 

[Lore-Wolf]

*Torin followed silently.. he felt sad. But there wasn't anything he could do about it.. a frightening though went trough his mind. What if he was here when it was attacked? Torin cant do anything to protect himself except.. try to flee.. all the hope Nirthy gave seemed to fade away.. This thing who did this was still out there..*

 

[Misha]

..even the smallest soul can make a big difference, Torin, *says Sophia, patting Torin's shoulder*

Sonya: *stops, surprised* ..from where the heck did you pulled that?? *finishes with giggling*

Sophia: ..not sure.. *giggle*

 

[Lore-Wolf]

*Sohpia's reaction surprised Torin.. How did she?..*
*However Torin still felt uneasy and less save. and the surrounding made the feeling even worse. Torin could not react at the laughs. As he continued to walk in a straight forward direction.*

(whoops edited)

 

[sacridshadow]

*"It appears we have more enemies. An order of knights and demon hunters has taken interest in our affairs. because of that, I was not able to collect all of the souls I wanted. Thus, the citizens of the Nexus fled to safety. The Archon that protects them is powerful. Powerful enough to cancel out my energy. I need you to collect as much info as you can on the Order, the Archon, and the Void Lords. Meanwhile, there are other things that must be done." Rhiannon said.*

 

[sacridshadow]

*"I believe it is time we take matters into our own hands. We cannot rely on the Wraiths to get the job done. The Void Lords know I have something planned, and are most likely searching for us. We cannot wait for them to find us, by then, it will be too late. Hellion's forces are vast, and he controls two thirds of the world, with Devilak owning one third. A Void Lord is not an easy target, thus we must deal with their forces as efficiently as possible. Those who are not gathering info will be assembling the army."*

 

[Misha]

(mhm sacrid.. seven left us.. let's exclude the knights and the DH)

 

[sacridshadow]

Oh, she actually left? Darn. Guess she didn't get my message then. *Sigh* Now I'll have to find another way of moving the plot forwards.

 

[Misha]

maybe go anger devilak? :b

 

[sacridshadow]

lol I already plan on attacking the Void Lords. It's just a matter of timing and placement. I kindof want witnesses too. Oh, joy. If no one cames to try to stop me, I may have to kidnap one of the Archonlings so people will come. lol That'll be sad.

 

[Misha]

you will not focus your attention to no-one near my characters for the time being, is that clear, sacrid? we too need to do some things, gather reinforcement and the like..

and btw.. let's get back to RP, before i start deleting this chit-chat

 

[sacridshadow]

Hey guys, can we please continue the RP? It's getting boring over here. And I can't do anything with my character yet.

 

[Misha]

well.. it is one of those, pause-times :b

 

[Lore-Wolf]

why because of christmass?

 

[Misha]

dunno.. '~'

*after some time, Sonya and Sophia stopped, tired after so much walking*
..uhh.. Torin? are you tired? *says Sonya sitting on a bigger rock*

 

[Lore-Wolf]

*Torin stopped and turned around. He didn't feel tired. But did some kind of nodding. As he waited.*
"You are learning Torin." Nirthy giggled in his head.*

 

[Misha]

sit, then *Sonya smirks impishly before pulling Torin to sit on another rock*
so... what are our plans..? *says Sophia* where can we find help?

 

[Lore-Wolf]

*nirthy appeared.* "Are there any friendly citys or villages nearby?"
*In the mean time torin sat down.*

 

[Misha]

Sophia: ..down this road lies a town, however, master told us it was already ravaged by Rhiannon..
Sonya: ..looks like we're going back to your forest, Torin.. but in a wide arc.. to avoid the dead town..

 

[Lore-Wolf]

*Torin seemed relieved to hear that they were headding back for the forrest.*
*Nirthy still seemed to be thinking.*

 

[Misha]

.. *after a little sigh, Sonya stands up* let's move, folks..

 

[Lore-Wolf]

*Nirthy dissapeared again.*
"Nirthy, is something wrong?"
"Well, It's just that I can't remeber some things."
*Torin stood up and he walked towards Sonya.*

 

[varsaigen]

Well, there's always that other city around the mountain... I believe there were sightings of a black dragon amongst the flames? Then again, with all the panic, there may have been minions or just casters. Reports vary from survivor to survivor. :/

 

[Lore-Wolf]

*Nirthy reapeared when they started walking.*
"I know.. a place.. but." Nirthy stopped talking*

 

[sacridshadow]

Oh, come on people. So many short posts with so many half sentences and cliff hangers. Just get to the point, please... It's driving me insane.

 

[Misha]

first warning to stop, sacrid, if an RP is slacking off.. something should boost it.. and you as a wannabe GM, you could create a kind of a neutral char.. so you can get the RP jumpstarted.. WITH RP

 

[Misha]

oh and..

.. Banshee? what are you trying to say to us? *says Sophia* can we find allies somewhere?

Sonya: ..sister, her name is Nirthy..

Sophia: *looks at Sonya* oh.. *looks back at Nirthy* Nirthy.. anything.. anyone.. could help us.. We must find someone.. forge an alliance as our master told us..

 

[Lore-Wolf]

*Nirthy hesetated.* "I am sorry.. I can not.. Forgive me.." *She dissapeared again.*

"Nirthy, What is wrong?"

"You know I'm not allowed to take strangers there. Or even speak about it."

"But what if we only take them near. Then they shall wait."

"Eventhough you trust them Torin. Humans can not be trusted around there. Even if they are different."

"We must give them a chance. To prove themselves."

"I hope your faith in them is right.. You may thake them near.."

*Torin seemed happyer. As he turned to Sophia an Sonya.*

"Please follow.." *Torin said as he began to walk.*

 

[Misha]

The two archonlings followed Torin, they were a little nervous, not knowing where he would lead them.. but they still had trust in him.

 

[Lore-Wolf]

*Torin stopped for a moment. It seemed silent. Torin turned around.*
"I think I'm a little bit hungry.." Torin said.*

 

[Misha]

*the archonlings blinked a few times and nodded* ..we gotta take care of ourselves.. *says Sonya*

..out here.. in a middle of nowhere? *says Sophia* can we actually find anything edible in this place?

Sonya: i think we can.. *is interrupted by Sophia* ok.. you're the one that ravels a lot.. but.. i'm not sure you can hunt *says Sophia*

Sonya: ......Torin can..? *Both archonlings fix their gaze on Torin*

 

[Lore-Wolf]

*Torin looked at them but then looked away.*
"I shall see what I can find." Torin said as he jumped of the path.*
*Nirthy appeared again. she seemed to be searching, constantly looking around and floating around.*

 

[Misha]

In the meanwhile.. I'll search for something.. else that's edible.. maybe i find something.. *says Sophia and walks away, but she stayed close so she won't get lost*
