Legacy of Legends RP

[Dragonson]

Elvor didn't reply at first, but just stared into the sky.
"Leaving you now would make no sense, and i am sure that i could not do it without serious emotional scars." He said, at last.
"And i too, am sorry.
I noticed too late that there is something terribly wrong with your mind."
He said, while looking at Alyssia with great concern.
"This Mark of Shame thing, how does it work?"

 

[The World Is Flat]

Urak came over, and he looked into her eyes for a moment, clutching her hand, smiling. the he fell back a bit, translating to elvor what she had said.

 

[Dragonson]

Elvor smiled at Urak, then said in Alyssia's native tounge that he appreciated the translation.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

"It's complicated... I don't usually like to talk about it" she sighed but continued; "It is a way of keeping track of the shameful... We Kyrrin live a mobile life, always moving and swapping tribes. When we perform shameful acts it's hard to keep track of the individual without a mark..." blinking away the last of her tears she said finally.
"At least that's how I see it, the practical side. If you asked a No'ha you could learn about the blinding of spirits and branding of a soul... Something about being invisible to our gods gazes, to be forever alone and unguided in life".

 

[The World Is Flat]

Urak looked intensly at her. "Would you like it gone?"

 

[Grey Nightmare]

Alyssia said nothing at first, she just stared mouth and eyes wide.
"Why.. O o of course, but it can't be done. It's the closest thing we have to magic, no Kyrrin has ever removed it. I am due to face my shame to live and die alone, without guidance from above... Or beyond".

 

[The World Is Flat]

"i can make the mark dissapear, but the other effects may stay forever, unless i can know more about them.."

He put his hand on the mark. his hand turned into pure flowing water. and he focused...

 

[Grey Nightmare]

Alyssia watched in disbelief as the mark slowly but surely, washed away under the boy's warm touch. She felt free, unburdened and at peace. She squealed in delight jumping up and throwing herself at Urak, happier than she could ever remember being, landing on top of the poor boy, she blushed noticeably and looked away, still grinning.
"Thankyou so much! I am forever in your debt!". She beamed, turning to face him again, her usually pale skin now a light shade of pink.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Urak smiled and gave a small grin. "I am honoerd to have helped you"

He suddenly turned to Elvor. "try to break into my mind."

 

[Crazy Cow]

Kryn was lying next to the warm fire, sleeping away contently. However, as his tongue flicked out on instinct, Kryn was jerked awake by the metallic tang of fear.
He did a quick sweep of the campsite. Elvor, Urak, and Alyssia were sitting on the far end of the fire; everyone else was asleep. Kryn slithered up to the gathering, not noticing anything to cause such a powerful stench. It was, however, wafting from this position, probably from Alyssia.
"Is everything alright here?" Kryn asked.

 

[Dragonson]

"No."
Elvor said.
"But there is nothing that anyone can do against it with our current situation."
After saying that, he turned to Urak.
"I would prefer not to, child of the sea.
Trying to break into the mind of a water-being while using water-magic might create a vorpal loop.
I would prefer that not happening."

 

[Fussiler1]

Akador had been wandering around in the jungle, staying in the sight of the caravan..
He had returned, though, and looked around.
Noticing Elvor and the like, he examined them from afar.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Urak laughed. "No such thing could happen. I can assure you it will be impossible to breach my mind."

 

[Fussiler1]

He chuckled softly as he heard that.
''His arrogancy might as well be the downfall of him..'' he whispered.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Urak turned to Akador. Suddenly he felt a severe pressure in his head. he felt like his very life was being rifled through...

 

[Dragonson]

Elvor sighed.
"Urak, don't. It's just his opinion."

 

[Fussiler1]

He closed and his eyes and grunted of pain.
''Indeed.. however, I'd suggest you won't forget my words, young Emperor.'' he mumbled.
''There are always greater things, more powerful, then all of us.''

OOC: Good ears, lol...

 

[Dragonson]

OOC: It's called Being The DM. ^^

 

[Fussiler1]

OOC: Eh, I don't get you. o-O

 

[The World Is Flat]

OOC: no pain.

Suddenly, Akador felt like his mind was like a open book, he felt like his entire life was being watched in an instant.

Then as soon as it had begun, it was over. Urak looked at him strangely.

 

[Fussiler1]

OOC: You need to react to what I said to you?

 

[The World Is Flat]

OOC: he said nothing, he was concentrating.

 

[Fussiler1]

OOC: You mean Urak?

 

[The World Is Flat]

OOC: yes. urak said nothing. but you need to respond to what i said.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

OOC: You said something or nothing ?

 

[The World Is Flat]

Ooc: Do i need to do issue 59 anyone!?!?!

 

[Grey Nightmare]

OOC: Issue 59?

 

[The World Is Flat]

OOC: the next post had better have an IC: post or i will faint. xD

 

[Grey Nightmare]

IC: "What are you doing?" Alyssia asked Urak, eyes narrowing ever so slightly.

 

[Crazy Cow]

"Yes, I'd like to know what is happening, as well. Is it some trickery by the shadow creatures?" Kryn asked.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

"Urak?" Alyssia asked again, voice softer this time round.

 

[Fussiler1]

Akador sighed and looked at Urak.
''Is that what you do with everyone you encounter..?''

 

[Grey Nightmare]

Alyssia raised an eyebrow, turning to face the prince.
"What did he do?" she asked, anxiously, voice expectant.

 

[The World Is Flat]

"I was simply making sure he was the right one. and he is." Urak said calmly.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

Alyssia looked from Akador to Urak several times, raising both eyebrows in apparent surprise.
"Sure... if that's how you feel..." she muttered, smiling and returning her gaze to the fire.

 

[Fussiler1]

He sighed.
''Anyways.. I got some food to gather.'' he mumbled.
He sprinted away.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

Alyssia sat there for several minutes, contemplating past events as usual. One particular memory suddenly sprung to the fore of her mind, still feeling full of energy and wanting to test out her new found freedom from the mark, she jumped up in fluid movement and ran, just like she had back in Karthek, through the trees, after Akador, Prince of the Niador.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Urak looked on after them, raised his eyebrows in a knowing fashon. and dissapeared.

 

[Fussiler1]

After a while he stopped as he heared footsteps coming closer and closer.
He turned and grinned.
''Not many manage to beat the Niador in speed.'' he said, laughing.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

"I promised you a story!" she smiled, panting slightly, obviously out of practice as she slowed and stopped just behind him.
"Language lessons to! Remember?" she said smiling.

 

[The World Is Flat]

They noticed a large pond nearby, it was beautiful, deep azure color...

 

[Fussiler1]

For the first time during this journey something that looked like a smile came on his face.
''Indeed! I almost forgot.'' he answered.
He sat down near the pond.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

"I think you did" she teased, joining him by the water.
"Where to begin? Lessons or story?" she asked, staring straight at him, piercing him with her cold, ice blue eyes.

 

[Fussiler1]

He frowned as he formulated a sentence.
''I'd like to.. the story--''
He finally got the sentence on the right way.
''Why not start with the story?'' he asked.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

"First, I am not age I appear. I have lived... eighty winters" she revealed, grinning.
"Kyrrin age slowly, very slowly, I am still a child though, our - uh - memories develop slower to. Anyway..." She paused, unsure where to begin, she blinked several times and stared down at the clear water.
"Oh yes... I was of the Hyrai tribe, name of our No'ha. My mother? Died during birth, my father a couple of decades after, when I was 40, before you were born? I would be eight... in your eyes". She smiled now, almost laughed as she continued.
"Females are very rare, for Kyrrin. Perhaps three for one and our children are rare too, due to long cycles and carrying? So I was cause for minor celebration. We are small people, five thousand in number. After my father died the No'ha took me in, Hyrai, he is all I ever had, I was unusually quiet and solitary for our kind, who like togetherness and bonding. I must admit we stupid, stubborn and life is hard, I fear our people's time runs... thin? I am not supposed to hunt, as a female, too dangerous!" She said, blowing a small raspberry, proving her lack of maturity.
"I did anyway, Hyrai didn't like it... So I stopped. People didn't like him either, my fault I think. When fifty winters touched me, Hyrai gave my fathers knife, knowing I would use it or another anway. He said; 'It's your life, do with it what you will'. He died a year later..." she trailed off, rather touched by the event, a small tear slowly rolled down her cheek and landed in the pool creating a multitude of ripples upon it's smooth surface.

 

[Dragonson]

OOC: Is gyro or Phoon online?

 

[Fussiler1]

Akador raised his brow.
''Amazing..'' he mumbled.
''But how did you came here, if I can ask?''

 

[Grey Nightmare]

OOC: I don't know... I find the online/offline status doesn't work properly

IC: "After Hyrai's death, I saw no reason to stop what I loved, hunting. I started again, much to the tribe's distaste, I managed to get on the wrong side next No'ha... at age eighty, or sixteen, they marked me, a traitor to their ways of unity.. yada yada yada... more to tell, but another time.
Anyway, I was beaten, I had to crawl, many, many miles" She winced, remembering the pain, having felt it more recently than he could guess.
Being honest, I know not how to come here. I remember asking for a new life, and... being pointed to a boat... after that? It's hazy, the heat made me funny in the head... funnier" she laughed, half-heartedly.
"So... what about you?" she queried, letting her right hand fall and trail in the water.

 

[Dragonson]

OOC: it does.
The things is just that some people VAAAAANISH and then REAPPEEEAR.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

OOC: I agree, it is quite annoying but can't be helped Real life catches up with us all some times, much to my distaste, hehe

It's easy enough to imagine where most are; sleeping (makes sense, it's still night?) apart from SoLmaster who HAS DISAPPEARED D:

EDIT: About the offline/online thing, it works when your online, but I find it takes about two hours to realise someone has gone offline...
