Chains of Dragons (No LSU's)

[MarillTogepi]

Throwing a post together, I'm having a bit of writer's block myself

Elena Kai-Prae
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Elena tested herself to the limits as she jumped from rooftop to rooftop, closely pursued by several of Garm's followers. She poured on the speed, hoping to lose them, then, upon reaching the outskirts of town, she caught a tree branch and moved across it, letting herself down easy, then ran for her very life through the forest. She zigzagged through the trees, finally leaving her pursuers behind.

Looking behind her and seeing nobody, she stopped, sniffing the air, trying to track the scent of her companions. Hopefully, she'd find them soon, but the forest was large. She hooked her fingernails into the bark of a tree, scaling it with ease, then walked the branches, knowing that at least she'd have a chance up there if anyone with bad intentions found her.

"What? That's strange..." I replied to kage's outburst. I really wasn't thinking on that, my mind was elsewhere. "Just try and get some sleep, It's gonna be light in about five hours."

"Meh, I'll give it a try, but I don't promise anything." Kage went to lay back down.

I sat on a spot near the fire, my knees up by my chest and my sword nestled between them. Staring into the flames I couldn't help but think about the last thing I saw in my dream. My mother. It was bugging me feriously.

I stood up, my sheathed sword in hand and glanced around. I had been here only a few times, but I seemed to remember a cliff not too far from the ruins. I started making my way there quietly, walking by Setsuna's sleeping body. She was cute, I had to admit it, and she knew where to go, which ment that she would be hanging around longer as well. I smiled at that idea.

The forest wasn't as thick as it could be and after about 50 yards I could still see the fire of the camp ground.

There was the cliff overlooking the valley. I tried to remember the name, but that wasn't working. Looking up, I saw the three moons of Jakarta floating int he night sky, all three were full.

I sat down, my feet hanging off the edge of the cliff and looked upward. The three moons each had their own different color. Ra, was a dull yellow and the larger of the moons. Sokra was a pale blue and the second largest. And finally, Mar was a deep crimson. Each was filled with craters all over the surface, and each had their own beauty.

My mother used to tell me that everything had their own beauty, and if you wished to see it, sometimes you didn't have to look very hard. She also said the Moons of Jakarta sometimes fortold fortune or disaster depending on what kind of light they shed on the planet.

I unsheathed my sword and looked at the blade.

"Mom......." I said remembering her face and the warm smile she always gave when me or my father was around.

There was the snap of a twig and I spun around, instantly on my feet and sword out of its sheath. The blade was pointing at, "Setsuna?"

"Hey," she replied a slight smile. "What are you doing out here, aren't you supposed to be on duty?"

"Yeah I am, but..." I said, not realy wanting to tell anyone.

"But?" she echoed, wanting to know.

I sat down on the cliff, same as before and stared up at the stars. "I had a dream, about my mother."

Setsuna sat down next to me quietly and I could feel her eyes looking at me.

"My mom, was the most wonderful person alive. She was kind, considerate, and always had a smile on her face. But that was a long time ago..."

"What happened?"

"When I was seven years old, she died."

Setsuna was quiet.

"She died of a desiese that essentionally ate away at her body until it would finally fight back no more. I still remeber it like it was yesturday." I looked down at my hands, covered in the fingerless gloves I wore. "I was torn up, I could barely think. But I made a promise....."

-------

Okay, I'm busy talking to Setsuna and I may get this finished tomorrow.

Darkmaster: I kinda want you to start spying on us, why, because that's my little secret. And as far as the fighting between us goes, that may happen soon enough....

Later!

ARG! I was posting earlier ( Weekend) and the computer locked up as I hit submit! Well, here I go to the posting again.

Sorry, I haven't been on alot latley, I have been spending alot of time on the senor presentations, PSOquest, attempting to find out if Smashboards is up yet (Still not). So, here I go with the edit and then the new post.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chamel was perched above the others, right where the post guard was (just so he wouldn't have to move come his turn). Half asleep was Chamel when a voice came to him: "Chamel, you and them shall be backstabed by one of the other members of the alliance. Watch yourself! You must wake them before that time comes. You must leave soon, as Garm's soldiers are hastidly approaching your postion."

"But..." Chamel said. He began to think that maybe he wasn't geting enough sleep. He dismissed any more thought about it untill he thought that maybe, he would be the right time to wake them up.

I felt uncomfortable as the others slept around me. I didn't know them too well except for Horus and I hadn't talked to him since we met up with the others so I felt pretty much alone. Rising slowly, I made sure the others weren't waken and slowly crept into the forest with my glaive, feeling for some water. Since we weren't by the ocean, I felt sort of empty but I felt the energy coming from within the forest when we stopped to camp.
Sure enough, there was a broad stream flowing downriver, silent but deadly as water rushed hurriedly against the sharp rocks. Walkin
g down with it, it wasn't far until I reached a broad lake, sparkling in the clear night. Sitting by the edge, I dipped my hand into the edge and swirled it around. While others would shiver by the freezing temperatures of it, it felt nice and warm to me. It was like every body of water I was in felt like a heated pool, including the ocean. Concentrating on the water, I raised my hand slowly. Sure enough, a tiny wave started to rise above, forming into a water ball. Cupping it with my hands, it looked magnificent, looking so solid and still at the same time. Letting it go, it lightly splashed into the lake. Sighing, I looked up at the stars and wondered if my father was still alive. Not to dwell on it a lot though, I pushed it out of my mind and made my way back, this time through the tree tops.

[Darkmaster Kagemusha]

Well, I don't know what to spy for, so this is gonna be short. Also, I new the peace between light and dark couldn't last for much longer

Kage Ikagaide
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I tossed under my cloak as I attempted to get to sleep. Still, slumber wouldn't come to me. I finally gave up, and stood quickly, before dashing off into the woods, silently and slashing trees with my claws. I had gone in a large circle of slashing when I heard voices farther away, and I was lucky enough to hear them in time because of my heightened hearing abilty when there was a lack of sounds around me. Another of my traits helped me as well, however--I could see perfectly in the dark. My night vision allowed me to easily find the source of the voices, and as I suspected, it was Saké and Setsuna--the light Innate and the mystery woman--who seemed to have something going on between them. I snuck in as close as I could to them--hiding under a thorn bush behind Setsuna--and listened intently to their conversation. There had to be a reason this girl knew so much and why she was hanging out with Saké so much. He was my only friend in the group and if she was going to do something to jeopardize that friendship, I had to know ahead of time.

*jumps* GAH! THERE'S THUNDER EVERY THREE SECONDS!!
...
Make that, there USED to be thunder every three seconds...it's quieter...O_O'
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sora Hibari

I moved away from the rest of the group hunting for a nice place to doze. Finding a secluded section of the rubble and grabbed some leaves to make it semi-soft. I took my Kama out of my belt, lest I should cut myself in my sleep.

'I'm tired...' I thought, but once I was nice and comfy, I found I couldn't sleep at all. I leaned back, my head resting on the base of one of the gigantic statues. I closed my eyes...

I was flying...soaring through the air...my wings flittering effortlessly on the breeze. My wings? I turned my head, staring shocked at my large blue wings...my long, spiraling tail...Shaking my head, I looked around, gazing at my surroundings below...forests...houses...

I stared. One house in particular caught my attention...It looked oddly familiar...

Circling downwards, I came closer...I spotted two figures standing outside...

"Mom? Dad?" I whispered. There they were! They were safe from Garm's soldiers! I landed, eyes watering slightly. I was no longer a winged serpent, but back to my human self. I ran forward, hugging them both. Lost in my happiness, I didn't notice my father slipping my pendant from around my neck...I grabbed it and yanked it back.

"What are you doing?" I asked them, shocked. They smiled...they weren't themselves...evil smiles...not the ones I was used to...

I leapt back, ready to attack. I grabbed my...Kama?! Where was my Kama?! Suddenly the smell of burning...our house caught fire...From it poured hundreds of soldiers, each armed to the teeth with an assortment of weapons...I stepped back apprehensively...when...Pain! I screamed...pain...I felt the sword driving mercilessly into my back...screaming...screaming...

Sudden light...an image of a sky blue dragon flashed in my head...

I woke up gasping for breath. Shaking slightly, I turned to my side, muttered "It was only a dream," and fell back into a fitful sleep.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
O-o';; I had a freaky-morbid-dream once. My house was...like...dripping with blood, and when I woke up there was blood on my floor, and it was freaky. We then noticed Kit-Kat (my cat) had slit his paw on something. *shudders*

[Mew Master]

I know I'm late... But I have a good reason, just no time to tell you about it.

And It's Light and Shadow. Dark is completly different than Shadow.

Sake/Setsuna
--------------------

You see (Sake oin flash-back mode) when I was about 5 years old, my mother started training me herself. She taught me most everything I know now about Spellcasting and a little on swordsmanship.

I loved to have her train me. Her constant smile and calm voice always helped me out. We would spend hours together training, and even my father would join in if he got his duities of being the Keikami Shrine Priest over with for the day.

I wished those days would never end. But they did.

My mother was diagnosed with the Dragon's Revenge, a rare desiese that eats away at the body, wasting it, but she was strong and fought it for most of her life. She.... she ..... she didn't fight it hard enough.

She died 11 years ago when I was 7. I was so sad I couldn't sleep, I just continued to cry, and had to get out of the house. I sat on the roof, crying three full moons above me, and my kendo stick beside me, so many memories inside its bamboo.

Then my father found me, worried about how I was taking my mother's death. I went to the funeral, and I didn't cry then, but I was that night.

My father sat up there with me and talked to me.

THen and there I made a promise, to always help those who can't help themselves, and never kill anyone by doing so. It became my solem promise to my father, and my mother's spirit.

"Thank you," Setsuna said.

"What?" I remarked.

"For saving me earlier, I didn't have the chance to thank you. I'm not used to being saved all that much."

"Hey, I'm getting used to needing help every once in a while too. You saved my butt, remember?" I replied, slightly nervous. "So we're even."

"Hmmm," I saw her smile in the moon light, and she leaned towards me, her head resting on my shoulder. I could feel the blood rushing to my cheeks. "Still, thank you."

I looked out into the valley, a warm feeling in my heart. Slowly and suringly, the sun began to rise from the east, starting to warm Jakarta with it's light. The moons began to disappear, their light drowned out by the sun's intense light.

(OOC: Oh, we're sleeping outside? I thought we'd sleep in the ruins, so we'd have some shelter. Meh, if T-storms are on the way, everyone will most likely get in side sooner or later. )

Vared
~~~~~

Everyone else settled down outside while I chose to stick with my decision to stay inside. I felt better with a roof over my head anyway, and the ruins were oddly comforting. I made myself as comfortable as possible on the floor of the Ruins, and wished for a brief moment that someone else had opted to sleep in the ruins to keep me company. But they probably still wanted to stay away from the last lingering traces of sewer stench that still clung to me. I was exhausted enough that even on the hard floor, I managed to fall asleep fairly quickly.

--------

A blur of words...faded ink on parchment...which slowly solidified into the page of a book. An old book of legends, with vaguely familiar text. A few words became apparent…demon Necrosan…dragon…words I remembered.
I found myself in front of a bookcase with mist all around, holding the book from the library. But this time I could read some words that were illegible before: battle… Elemental Dragons …magical pendants…must be protected…
A strong gust of wind suddenly tossed the pages of the book. I caught a glimpse of sketches of reptilian forms before the book was thrown from my hands. Pages from other books were flying past me, rustling dryly as they skidded across the floor…

------------

I woke to find a bunch of dry leaves were being tossed by a wind from outside, making the same rustling sound as the book pages in my dream. I tried to remember my dream, since it seemed important, but I only remembered that it had the book from the library in it, and the words that I had seen there. It had seemed so real too, I could almost feel the book still in my hands.
Glancing at the doorway into the Ruins, I noticed some dark clouds approaching in the sky. I hoped it didn’t rain. I was inside, so I wouldn’t get wet, but everyone else would be. Plus soggy ground would make traveling harder tomorrow. I considered going over and advising everyone else to get under cover, but I was too tired. So I just turned over and went back to sleep.

[Mew Master]

Hey guys, I've got some news. I've started work on the first chapter already, and have edited a few things so that everything may work out in the end. Everyone's dreaming, good, and the sun's lifted.

Alos, I'm working on Faile's design, and have a good idea for Tuon. I do have Elafresiane finsihed but forgot to post about it. Here's the link. Elafresiane

Well, I don't have much time to post now.

I do have some funny moments in the chapter, the most funnier ones involving Chamel at the shrine where he lived for most of his life. It's hillarious Mark, I swear!

Okay, I'll check in on Sunday, but probably not be on at all on Tuesday, cause I have a BAG banquet toi attend... damn, I really don't give a crap....

Well, later!

~Mew Master

[Mew Master]

Okay, I'm on earlier than I thought. Okay, time for more posting!!

----------------------

Kage watched Saké and Setsuna as they sat watching the sun rise. He wasn't sure what Horus ment by not trusting her for a while. To him she was a mystery but seemed to be as helpful as ever, she was even leading them to Garm's castle stronghold. But still, the word betrayal stuck out in his mind like a bad rash.

There was a rustle and something dropped behind him and grabbed his mouth and covered his eyes. Kage jumped but it was too late, he struggled but it didn't help.

"Hey hey, calm down. It's only me." said a femanine voice with a cat-like edge to it.

Kage stopped moving and the hands left his mouth and eyes. Behind him was Elena Kai-Prae with her usual smile.

"Got ya."

"What's the big idea?"

"Hey, I had to get your attention without forcing you to jump like a jackrabbit." Elena replied. "Besides, what are you doing?"

"Uh, Saké's supposed to be on guard dutiy and he wandered off, so I went to go find him." he replied.

"Looks like you were spying on him." Elena replied.

"No, I was just looking at him when he didn't know."

"Same thing."

"Whatever. The sun's up so we should head back to the ruins before anyone thinks we're up to something." Kage stated and started walking back.

"Good idea. But what about them?"

"Leave them, I'm sure Saké knows what he's doing." Kage replied. I hope.

Wamiyazen Denisu "Saké"/Setsuna
-----------------------------------------------

"Hey," Setsuna started as the sun continued to rise. "What's this for?" she pulled at the band around my arm, trying to see what was under it. I jumped, pulling away and clamping my hand over the band.

"Don't," I started. "Don't do that, please."

"Why? What's wrong?" she asked, surprised by my reaction.

I had jumped and moved three feet away from her in the process.

"Just don't okay?" I asked, pleading to her.

"Okay I won't."

The reason I jumped is because.... because.....it's something that I don't even want to think about or remember. Something that I wish to forget and try to with every thought.

I moved the band to where it had been and then stood up, sword in hand. "Common, I think we should head back before anyone misses us." I said.

"All right." she replied and stood up as well, stretching her arms behind her back. "Besides if we want to get throught eh Hydra Jungle, then we'll have to move before too long. In the morning, not many of the creatures are awake or alert enough to pose much of a threat."

"Good, that means we can get to Garm's before too long." i replied as we walked back to the ruins.

The building came into veiw and I saw the fire had reduced to a few burning embers. Some were sleeping, and rolling around. Chamel was up a tree and Kage and Elena were leaning up against the ruins.

We walked back into the group.

"Vared's not out yet?" I asked.

"No, she's still inside. Her oder wasn't that terrible." Kage commented. "If Horus hadn't openned his mouth we would be fine."

"Besides," said a grumbling voice, groggy with sleep. "There's a lake near by where she could have washed off." Amal walked towards us and let out a big and long yawn.

"Glad to see you're awake sleepy head." I commented, trying to be funny.

"Well I slept like a rock." Chamel climbed down the walls and landed near us.

"Isn't it like a log?" Elena asked.

"Not when you're an Earth Innate." Chamel smiled.

"Then what is it when you're a Water Innate?" Amal asked, intereseted to see Chamel's response.

"You're sleeping with the fishes." he replied, and everyone but him had a sweatdrop.

-------------------------------

Okay everyone, I have a post that I would like you all to see. It has the beginings of my ideas before I started the RPG and I owuld like some feedback as to how you all like it thus far. The post is in the Fan Fic Writer's Lounge.

Chains of Dragons concept ideas.

Check it out, won't you?

Later!

[Mew Trainer Rose]

I wonder what happened to the T-storm? Ooo, let me guess; you'll have it hit just as we're getting going, or shortly after. ^_^

OK, time for Vared to wake up.

Vared
~~~~~~

A bright shaft of sunlight struck my eye and dragged me into the waking world. I turned over to avoid it and return to sleep, but found I no longer could. Stupid sunlight.
So I sat up instead, stretching, rubbing my eyes, brushing the sand off of my clothes, normal waking-up stuff. Well, the last one's only normal if you slept on the ground without a blanket, but whatever. When I felt I was more or less fully awake, I grabbed my spear and went outside the Ruins to see how everyone else was.
A few other people were already up. Chamel, seeing me, said "Hey look! The sewer beast emerges from her lair!"
Since he was on teh wall of the Ruins, and too far away to punch, I just raised an eyebrow at him...and threw a Fireball. I purposely missed by at least a foot, though. It was funny to watch him jump away and yell like I'd come within half an inch of his head, tho. I guessed others thought the same, since I heard giggles behind me.
The scream seemed to wake up anyone else who was still asleep. There were a couple complaints about the abrupt awakening, but Saké reminded them we had a ways to go today, so people began to get up.

[Mew Master]

Hey everyone, great news.

I have the first chapter for Chains of Dragons finished and I'm working on Chapter two, which may be three times as long!

*Waits for applause and hears...... dead silence....*

Gee, I thought someone would care.....

And I have made some changes.

Kage and Zera will not have wings. Sorry dudes. You'll still be Demi-Humans, but no wings. Now I just gotta think up some Demi-Humans you could be....

Well, I'll keep working on it. And I'll let you guys know when I start posting it, needs some revisions though.

Well let's see. We're heading to the Hydra Jungle now.... so LET'S GO!!

Wamiyazen Denisu "Saké"/Setsuna
----------------------------------------------

Everyone was up, actaully Vared didn't smell that bad, but Amal suggested she was off in the lake nearby, so we had to wait for about an hour before she was finished. Then we started off.

Setsuna lead the group, followed by me, Kage, Elena, Horus, Vared, Seylin, Amal, Faile, Zera, Chamel, and Sora.

It wasn't too far along when it started raining on us. The tree tops diverged most of the moisture but we still got soaked. Lightning flashed as thunder roared, but still Setsuna lead us through the trees.

Finally, due to a lot of rain, the path started getting more muddy and mostly impassible. Vared spotted some caves thorugh the rain wall and we headed for them.

As soon as we were all inside we stopped and took the time to wring out some of our wet clothes. My vest and shirt had taken most of the drenching.

"Wow, lookit this place." Chamel exclaimed admiering the area.

The cave was very large inside, with a blackness consuming the end of it.

"It is big.." Amal admitted.

"What is this?" I asked.

"It's one of the Billabug caves. There are hundreds of these around the place." Setsuna replied.

"And a Billabug is?" Kage asked.

"Not something you really want to meet." Elena stated. "Their armor is thick and they individually stand at about a meter and a half. These things don't like the light, they're as white as snow and speedy too. They tend to roll up like a ball and run down their prey like that. Not entirely freindly."

"Whenever We pass this way, we always try to avoid these caves. The Billabug is very carnivorous and hunts down anything it can." Setsuna stated.

There came the sound of high-pithced shreiking from the darkness of the cave. Everyone stopped, straining their ears. Then there came eyes. Hundreds of red eyes, looking at them and a gurggling sound started to come up over the shreiking.

Amal and Chamel were close to the shadowed darkness and a single tenticle whipped out and latched onto Amal's ankle, one yank and she fell to the ground, her Gailve knocked away. Chamel grabbed his Masamoon and slashed down, slicing the tenticle and freeing Amal.

"Let's go!" Kage shouted, and his claws sprang out.

"Fireball!" Vared shouted and launched the sphere into the darkness.

This illuminated the area, dozens of strange pale insects. Segmented three ways with a bunch of small fibers from near where the eyes were. One was missing its foot and white ichor was spraying everywhere.

"It's either this or the storm, what are we going for?!" Zera shouted as he readied his weapon.

"I'd choose getting electricuted over being eaten to death." Seylin replied.

Setsuna, Horus, Seylin, Sora, Elena, Amal, and Chamel dashed out, back into the pouring rain. Leaving me, Kage, Vared, and Faile to stall for them.

"Here we go," I started, and light gathered in my hand. "Photon Blast!" I shot my attack at the bugs.

"Shadow Needles!" Kage shouted as well.

"Flame Jet!"

"Thunder Arrow!"

The attacks aimed, not for the bugs, but for the roof of the cave. The timed exploasion started to cause the cave to collapse. We started running to get outside ASAP, and managed to jump out of the way before the entier cave caved in around us.

Now we were soaked, tired, and I had landed straight into a puddle. This was going to be a long day.....

We hid under a big oak tree that was chipped away from the inside. I rung my hair out for the third time that day.

"Twice in one day I get a shower." I mumbled. "Not a good start."

"The Hydra Jungle gets worse as we go." Setsuna stated as we tried to relax.

Vared had started a fire to help us warm up, and I could feel the heat giving my fingers feeling again. We sat and thought, everyone wished for the rain to stop.

------------------
3rd Person
------------------

The mesh of crashed rock where the Pendant Bearers had their first encounter with the Billabugs was nothing but a mound of solid earth.

Then the rocks started to move. A pepple fell, followed by some rocks and then boulders. Several rapidly spinning balls burrowed their way to the surface, and one uncurled. It was a Billabug, and it reared back and gave its shreiking gurggle.

More Billabugs emerged from the mound and echoed in their shouts of freedom. Then spinning forward, they roll through the jungle, as the rain continues to fall.

* * *

Something moved in the shadows. Red tinted eyes scanned the biped creatures, picking out the best ones to kill first. It moved to a boulder, not being able to get too close to the flames because light was it's weakness and mortal enemy.

More creatures gathered, brought by the smell of flesh and blood...

-------------
Saké/Setsuna
-------------

I stole a glance towards one of the darker corners of the room, something was bugging me. I could swear I felt something in that direction. Kage looked that way too.

"Did you feel something?" he asked.

"Maybe," I replied. "Not sure though. Feels as though we're being watched."

"I know..."

"Well, the jungle is full of creatures. Who knows what's watching us now." Elena said.

There came a terrifying screech that sent everyone's hair standing on end. As we stood up, a sudden wind blew in and blew out our fire. Then we were aware of eyes. Red eyes, like the ones in the cave, but these weren't no Billabugs.

We saw some move forward, towards some of the light outside, but it was still dark. A flash of lightning and they recoiled.

"Oh, no." Horus said stepping back, his sword raised. "Shadow Wraiths!"

Ugly, deformed, apish creatures. With long claws and very dark hides, and peircing red eyes. Ugly with a bad smell, and this was my impression of the Shadow Wraiths. But what scared me more was their teeth were huge and very very sharp.

I grabbed my sword and readied myself for a fight.

"No good," Horus stated backing up. "Weapons like ours can't hurt the Wraiths." I could tell he was afraid.

"Then what will?" Zera asked as the snarling creatures got closer, their drool dripping onto the ground.

"Light." Horus replied.

"Light?!" Seylin exclaimed.

"That's why they didn't attack until the fire was out." Faile thought out loud. "They can't move when there's light out."

"Well that simplifies things," Chamel said. "We go out side and they're stuck. Getting soaked is better than getting eaten."

"Three times in one day. What I wouldn't give for a Inn right about now." Setsuna commented.

We started moving back, weapons at the ready. Passing the mough of the oak, we went where we would be okay, and the Wraiths stuck.

"Ha ha!" Chamel exclaimed. "Can't get us now you stupid, slow-witted, uh-oh...."

The Shadow Wraiths had stopped at the mouth of the tree, stalling. Then, one of them stepped forth. Not recoiling they got bolder and came out, one by one until they started to hunt us again.

"Damn," Kage muttered. "It's nothing but one fight after another."

"Yeah, but how fast can you run?" Amal asked.

There came the sound of rolling and a familiar shreiking gurggle. Right behind us, the Billabugs rolled in and stopped, uttering a challenge to the Wraiths.

The two groups of creatures exchanged various roars, and some charges. But they never really moved.

Then, one Billabug wipped out a tendrill and grabbed Amal once again.

"Not again! AHH!" She was pulled down, getting knocked out. Her Gailve slidded along the ground.

"Hang on!" Chamel shouted and jumped into the air with the intention of slashing down. A Billabug was faster though.

A single tendrill lashed out and whacked Chamel across the face, knocking him off course and the Masamoon out of his hands. He fell hard, the wind and senses knocked out.

"Chamel! Amal!" Elena shouted. But we had our own problems. The Wraiths started closing in as the Billabugs retreated with both an unconcious Amal and Chamel, along with their weapons, in tow.

"Damn!" I shouted, not being left with many options. This was a fight I was worried if we would ever make it out alive....

--------------------------

Okay, I'm leaving Amal and Chamel up to T_M_L and MechAlphChml. I've already PMed them about what's happening. Now all we have to worry about is the Shadow Wraiths. Not easy things to beat...

Name: Shadow Wraiths
Height: about 1.8 meters
Length: Unknown
Weight: Unknown
Appearence: Ape-like monstrousities. They are all black with red piercing eyes. Long claws on both hands and feet, as well as long teeth. They have elongated snouts and drool a lot.
Powers/Weapons: Able to meld with shadows to surprise their prey. Sharp claws and teeth. Cannot be hurt physically.
Other: Very sensitive around light. In fact, at the right brightness it could kill them

Have fun guys.....

Later!

Sorry I haven't been on. I'm in central Illinois and the tornados whacked my power, so I've had no computer since Friday. Plus, the last thing I had to do on the computer was type a Reflective Essay on a lack of electricity and so my ideas for RPG's are more or less wiped out. I'll post with ya later.

[Darkmaster Kagemusha]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Wraiths were practically dancing around us using the shadows. They weren't hiding, they were melding with the darkness. "You like the dark don't you?" I yelled out to them. "Well, guess who has the dark powers here!" I said, blasting my Shadow Needles into one of the shadows. One of the beasts stopped there, examined the Needles that were stuck in it's chest, then pulled them out and bellowed. "That's right, come here!" I blasted another with Gravitone. To my utter surprise, it absorbed it, and gained a burst of energy. The Wraith jumped at me and I barely dodged it. "So you feed on it huh?" I said. "Well then. SOUP'S ON! COME AAAAAND GET IT!" I said, and started pouring Dark energy out of my body. I was very quickly surrounded, and the creatures looked as if they were breathing in my energy. As my muscles grew even more tense, my arms raised up, straight out at shoulder height with my fists closed. I decided to try something. I pushed Gravitone into my fists and commanded it to surround me. Suddenly, power overwhelmed me and I felt I was growing stronger, and an orb of darkness began swirling around me. "BLACK HOLE SHIELD!!!!" I yelled out of instinct. Things suddenly began to get sucked toward me. Trees were uprooted and rocks took to the air. Everything that hit the orb vaporized--except the Wraiths. They stuck to the outside and tried to drain the energy. "Haha! You want my energy? HERE!!!!!!!!" I blasted all the energy I could out of my body. "HAVE ALL YOU WANT!!!!!" I was effectively creating a diversion, even if it could kill me, everyone else could escape.

Hope that's okay with you. If you don't like the new move thing I can edit it out, but I happen to like it. Also, this would be a good time for a certain Light Innate to shine, unless you'd rather get away and leave Kage to deal with it. I can work with either situation.

(And yes, I'm in a psychotic mood)

EDIT: Changed the Attack. It's like using Black Hole as a force field thingy, but it's essentially the same.

[Mew Master]

I'd like to, but I just thought of something for Sake. In order to use his Photon Blast, or maybe even his Lightforce Sword, he'll need light to do it. And as you have noticed, we are surrounded on all sides by a thunderstorm with no break in sight.

Oh, and as for your attack.... looks like you could call it Blackhole Instead of GRAVITY SHIELD MAELSTROM U

Wamiyazen Denisu "Sake"/Setsuna
----------------------------------------------

We tried to get as much distance between us and Kage as every kind of object seemed to be sucked towards him. I would have helped, but I had used the last bit of Light energy I had when the Billabugs had ambushed us in the cave, I had gathered it during the Lightning bolt flash. Without any source of light, I can't gather photons and am reduced to fighting with my fists and blade, and any other Magic abilities I have.

Now we were three short. Amal and Chamel kidnapped by evil segmented insects, Kage was creating a diversion and the rest of us were stuck in a jungle where there could be danger anywhere. We ran and we heard a crash.

Looking behind us we saw a mound of trees debreigh where Kage once was.

"No, Kage." I muttered. None of us could feel his energy.

We stood there, everyone searching for some sign that he was alive. None could be found.

"Damn." I dropped to my knees and they sank in the mud, everyone was saddened. I had known Kage only a few days after my own home was attacked. We fought side-by-side for three straight days and I had learned to count on him and trust him, maybe a bit more than the others. But we were all in this together and nothing could break that up. He was a good guy, even though many might say different about that because of his Innate, but I could tell it in his eyes.

I punched my fist into the mud that I was kneeling in.

"It's not fair! Damnit! It's just not fair!!"

I sat there in the mud close to crying, but I didn't. A hand laid itself on my shoulder and I looked up to see Setsuna's eyes looking into mine. Finally I stood up, my head tilted down.

"Let's go, or else Kage's sacrafice would be in vain." I said.

Then there was the roar that we knew and the Shadow Wraiths materialized from the our very own shadows and their drooling mouths gapped wide at the sight of us.

"This isn't any use!" Elena shouted. "We'll have to fight them off."

"But our weapons aren't any good against them." Horus replied.

"Then use Elements!" she remarked. As the Wraiths got closer a line of trees suddenly sprouted up inbetween them and us.

"Gotta!" Sora ran up and held her Kama at the end o the handle. Swinging it like a bat, a wind picked up behind it. "Windraker! she shouted. A blast of wind in her after-stroke blasted through the trees that Elena had forced to grow and block the wraiths. The trees were sliced to ribbons and chunks of wood whacked into the Wraiths.

"Let's go then." Zera said and we all headed in the opposite direction. But everyone of us stole a look back at where Kage had been.
------------------

I think I'll start a list of who knows what spells as we go and put whether they are Special Abilities or regular magic.

Later!

[MechAlphaChamel]

Yeah, the Chameleon is back and ready for action! LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amal and Chamel had been taken by billabugs, what more could go wrong? Other than taking Amal and Chamel, well, howabout taking Amal and Chamel. Chamel groaned a minute later, he was all wet, and he looked off to his side, and he saw his masmoon being dragged along side him. 'Oppertunity strikes' Chamel thought to himself. When he reached for the sword, a billabug reared up and came crashing down right where his hand once was. "Yikes!" Chamel shouted. He jumped underneith the billabug and grabbed his masmoon, the billabug that was dragging him was yanked from walking to crashing right into the bug above Chamel. Amal began to come out of her stupour. She quickly grabbed her weapon and was ready to do battle, but that was not what Chamel had in mind. He got up to his feet, cut the tendril around his leg and set for Amal, he did the same for her. Then Chamel grabbed Amal and quickly dashed up a tree. Once they were up high enough, Chamel began to taugnt them, laughing and saying crude words in Chameleon tounge. It was at that moment when he felt the spirt energy of Kage slip. Amal felt it too. "Oh my god. Not Kage!" Amal muttered.

We jumped from tree to tree while following our drag tracks. We eventually get back to where we originally started. There was a pile of mess and other things piled up. "Kage..." muttered Chamel. "why Kage, there was an alternitive way." "Doesn't matter now, we must find the others, and quickly." said Amal. Chamel quickly said a prayer and got back to work.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, like said earlier, Chamel is back and ready for more. Tune in tomarrow for the next exciting episode!

[Darkmaster Kagemusha]

Kage Ikagaide
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I groaned. There had to be at least a ton of junk on top of me and half of it was digging into me. I tried to move, and found that doing so hurt more than lying still. I used all my strength to shove toppled trees and the corpses of a few Wraiths off me and scrambled out of the pile of debris. I collapsed in the mud as rain began to soak my clothes. I felt empty--devoid of life, like I was living in a dream. I knew that I was, indeed, alive, but I had no power to speak of. "Those damn things can steal a lot of energy," I whispered hoarsly to myself. I looked my body over. I was covered in bruises and cuts. My left wrist was broken and my right shoulder was dislocated. I yanked my bones all back into place with sickening snaps and pops. I looked down at my side, which was practically radiating pain. There was a small bit of tree limb that had been shoved into me. I pulled the jagged piece of wood out of the gash in my side and clutched my hand over the wound. Damnable mortallity. I thought, before passing out in a puddle of mud, rain water, and blood.

[Darkmaster Kagemusha]

Dangit. I didn't wanna be found yet. I had some more stuff planned for an alone and powerless Kage. Could you please change your post to where you don't find him, because it's kind of stupid having this dramatic death thing and then in the next couple of posts he's found.

[Mew Master]

Yes, T_M_L We request you edit your post, because it does not suit our present needs. Thank you for putting up with this incoveniance.

I've decided to let Kage have his little solo adventure thus far. As far as Drawing and writting goes... uh...

Faile is still in the works, and I'm on the third time I've tried to draw her. For some reason I've done the first two with large chest areas and that made her look like a bad cross-dresser. T_T This third one should be better.

As for the writting, I'm still working on Chapter 2, which will be split into two Parts. When I get them finished I will start posting the chapters.

However, the latest time I will be able to get on will be Tuesday afternoon. Because I'm graduating tomorrow, and Mark (MechaAlphaChamel) is graduating June 7th.

Mark: Your hair has gotten darker and you have gotten a little bigger.... 'nuff said.

Oh, and I saw X-Men 2. Very, very cool.

Later!

[The_Missing_Link]

--; Good god, this is hardly like a RPG at all. I'm sorry, but I don't know if I want to continue on with this. It's like you're making me follow one set way instead of letting me wing it. For now, I'm just going to think about whether I should leave or not

[MechAlphaChamel]

This is NOT an RPG post, now that thats out of the way... Man, you grad. on sunday?! Woa, thats early! Any case, I've been playing PSO for the GC alot and well, I have become quite fond of my little Sato mag. It is the coolest looking thing! It looks like the cat from Rose is Rose, exept its missing it's back legs, other than that, it is totally cool! Man Den, you grew too! (bad rhyme) That cat in the pic must be the cat Sarah that you talk about all the time? Any case, if ANY of you people in here own a GC, PSO (Phantasy Star Online) is a must-get! So what if its the ONLY online game for the GC? Animal Crossing 2 and Mario Kart Double Dash will also be online, just in case none of you guys knew. Well, I must get back to raising my little Sato. Till then!

[Darkmaster Kagemusha]

Sorry. I didn't mean to be restricting, it's just that it feels kinda dumb having Kage look like he sacrifices himself and then have him found that fast. Also, MM, you are being kinda restricting. I have to try to anticipate your next moves so that I can post without screwing up what you want to post. It's an interactive story, not a computer game, just let it flow

[MechAlphaChamel]

Ok, well that doesn't make much sense...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chamel and Amal were getting closer to the rest of the gang. The mud was soft and, well, cake-like. The sounds of the group lay just ahead of them. Amal and Chamel rounded a corner and there was the group, but they were being stalked by them dang billabugs. So Amal and Chamel decided to have a little fun with both the bugs and the group. There was a total of seven bugs following the main group, all lined up. Chamel thought it would be good to break up the party with some slicin' action. He swung down from a branch and cut all of the billabugs in half, then Amal set to work with the sceme for the main group. Amal was going to summon water to take the shape of Chamel and Amal, just for kicks and giggles. The group was taken aback by the water ghouls. Chamel appeared right next to Sake and wispered into his ear: "Peak-a-boo!" Sake nearly soiled himself when Chamel just materialized right in front of him. "You really must stop doing that." said Sake. "For who's health?" Chamel asked. "Yours and mine!" said Sake, agiatated. "Poor Kage..." said Chamel, "just getting to know the guy..." muttered Chamel. "He was a good soul." said Horus. "Why did it have to happen to him, he knew he had a alternitive way..." said Sake. "Doesn't matter now, what matters is that we press on." said Chamel. "Thats right, if Kage is alive, he will easily catch up, after all, he's an assassin." said Faile.
"So, onward to what ever destination we originally had set before us!" shouted Chamel. (lots of tear drops on peoples heads)

Yea...I'm never getting to fight cept when I post I dont know if i should leave this RPG..I agree with TML

[MechAlphaChamel]

This is not an RPG post, at all...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Not be rude and all to you gals: TML and Dark Templar 8, but you sound alot like whinners. Your nagging about this being restricting and all, well, it has to in some points. Otherwise its just people typing about senseless stuff. In order for the RPG to function properly, you ALL must post! Otherwise its the people that do post end up covering the stuff that you guys or gals fail to post. I have enjoyed playing in the RPG that Den here has put on for us, not to mention all the drawings he's done for all of us. He too goes to school, just like most of us here (or at least all of us). I find it hard for TML and Dark Templar 8 moaning about this being too stressful because you can't post whatever you would want to. Normally I'm a nice person, but I am not when I see someone not pulling their end of the weight and they're yakkin' about it being too hard. Dark Templar 8, when did you last post sense this last post. Not on this page, thats for certain. I'm looking at all the recent posts, and there are only two total from the both of you, and they're not even about the RPG. All I see on this list is MewMaster, Darkmaster Kagemusha, 1 Mew Trainer Rose, and a few from myself. If you really wanted to fight Dark Templar 8, post! Its not that hard is it? But it requires an amount of effort on your part, not ours to post about fighting. You have had plenty of oppertunities to pick up on a fight, you just have to check in here every once in awhile. But what I don't get is you moaning about your failure to post and you question why you never fight. That just doesn't make any sense, does it to anyone else? I would admit, school does take a decent amount of time out of all of our lifes, but somehow, we: MewMaster, Darkmaster Kagemusha, 1 Mew Trainer Rose, and myself, manage to make it to PM to post on this topic. Do we have any graduating senors in here, besides MewMaster and myself? Senor year is quite stressfull, and there is no room for complaining "about how hard it is". No, if you do that, you end up coming back to school the next year, or dropping out of school entirely to make more time for the job. Well, I'm getting off topic, but if you don't pull your end of the weight, don't complain to any of us. I won't hear any of it, like it or lump it. If you feel that this entire post is pointless, much like TML's and Dark Templar 8's post, like I do, then maybe we should drop them if they can't handle getting to a forum and posting.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Does anyone here fell the same way I do when people post about nothing and take up bandwidth when they can't handle getting to posting?

t("t)
-for TML and Dark Templar 8-

[The_Missing_Link]

*laughs* Buddy, what you just posted doesn't at all concern what I'm talking about. That was all toward Dark Templar. I've posted and I know what's going on but my main concern is how this RPG is faring in terms of how much freedom we have of posting in our own ways. Now, I'm all game for someone telling us that we have to move on in an RPG if we've done the same thing for too long but I don't like someone PM'img me about how my character and another character should be caught by these monsters and do these specific things, which Mew Master has done. Like I said before, I was involved in another RPG that was shut down because of following a set line instead of posting what we like (and some other various stuff that isn't the same for this one) and this is becoming like that one. I really don't want this RPG down because it's very interesting and all and I love the plot and characters, but I just don't want someone telling me what to specifically do in an RPG. It's either freedom or bust for me

And honestly Mech, I want Mew Master's opinion on this since he is in charge of this RPG

[Mew Master]

*listens to everyone thus far*

*takes in what everyone has said*

*Sighs*

Okay, I'm sorry if you all feel like I'm controlling you. I'm not trying to, I promise that. It's just.... how do I put this....

I stated from the very begining that I was getting information and ideas to use in a story that I wanted to do. I've stated this over and over again, sometimes I wonder if anyone listens.

Darkmaster: I know it's a random thing. Sorry if I made you try and use some mysterious powers to predict what I am posting so yours does not get screwed up. I'm trying to give a basic story line for everyone to go off of.

T_M_L: Restrcting? I honestly thought I wasn't restricting you at all. If I told you you couldn't do something at all, that's restricting. This is the only real kind of Restricting I've done since the RPG started. And then you say to "wing it." Sometimes that doesn't work out. And before this fact, the only thing I have really stated that could even be considered "Restricting" (I guess) is the fact that I give you guys hints on what we need to be doing or where we should be going, or even where we are. Don't leave. The thing that makes RPGs last so long is the fact that players are willing to stick through the whole thing no matter how tough things get. If you are really sure you want to leave, then I can't stop you.

Dark Templar 8: Um. Honestly I think Mark over there pretty much summed it up. Most of your posts haven't exceded 20 Lines, and even then you haven't posted much. RPGs are more than fighting, there are story-lines involved and inter-character relations. If you wish to leave, then that is your decesion.

Chamel: Mark, I agree with you, and I disagree with you here. School does take up Internet time, and those of us who even can't get on even after we've been kicked out. But sometimes its more of a matter whether the person is really into making detailed posts or not. Not that I'm saying anyone's here haven't been detailed, it's just that some don't know what to post or when to post it. (my fault on that mostly) If you want me to back off on letting you know what's going on I can do that. I would hate to lose people just because of a side-plot I think would be interesting.

Everyone: Look, I'm sorry if it seems like I'm restricting your own plots and such, I don't mean it. You can still have your plots intertwined with everything else that's going on. I don't want anyone to leave, mostly because we already have had two Players who have been MIA for over two months. Faile and Horus mostly.

T_M_L and DT8: If you two wish to leave then it is your decesion to make. IF you do, may we please still have your characters be a part of the story. Because we do need 11 Pendant Bearers as well as 11Dragons to defeat Necrosan when the time comes.

Sorry if I've inconvenienced anyone in any way.

~Mew Master

[The_Missing_Link]

I'll stay, but I don't want anyone to tell me to edit a post if it doesn't fit in with what you want. Either warn me beforehand or work around it. I could've worked around coming upon Kage and taking him but you guys got me pissed because you thought it would interfere with the story too much. Just don't do it again and I'll move ahead

[Mew Master]

Okay, okay. Now I think we're back at square one.... Let's see.... Okay. Time for Recap!

After escaping from Termania, Wamiyazen Denisu, "Saké", runs into a girl named Setsuna and she helps him escape. Kage runs into an assasin after stopping several soldiers from caging him in. The Assasin's name was Cassandra Lashana and Kage had barely managed to get away by the hairs of his chiny chin chin. Vared had less fun as she ducked into a sewer and aquired a new smell. Sora ran off through an alley and got whacked when a door opened infront of her. Soldiers started after her, so she left the fish Monger to his buisness and ran off. Faile was chased and managed to fry seveal soldiers with her Electric attacks and joined up with Horus just before leaving. Setsuna and Saké stumble apon Sora, and they are surprised by Faile and Horus who just hapen to show up.

After reaching the ruins, Kage shows up, followed by Vared and then Chamel. Chamel comments on Vared's new smell and he, Saké, Kage, and Horus get punched out of the ruins by Vared. As Kage tries to get up from under everyone, he suddenly goes into a Trance and sees a Black Dragon, telling them to head east. When Kage comes to, Zera makes a 3 point landing staight from Termania and then Elena, Amal, and Seylin show up. Deciding it should be best to stay there for the night. They camp out, Kage on Guard duty first.

Horus talks to Kage before he falls asleep and then Kage has another trance, after letting Saké take point. When he wakes up to tell Saké, he notices him and Setsuna are gone. Vared, Sora, and the others are all having random dreams involving their experiences through the past days, family, and looming questions on their minds.

Saké and Setsuna are sitting on a cliff not too far from the Ruins, watching the three moons. Saké tells Setsuna about his mother and his past, as well as a promise he made to himeself and his father. Kage spots them and Elena drops in as well, the two wondering what the two could be talking about.

The Sun rises and everyone sets on as thunderclouds move in from the west. It starts raining on the Bearers. Finding a cave they stumble apon a hourd of Billabugs that try and kidnap Chamel and Amal. Getting away, Saké, Kage, and Faile use their special attacks to cave in, the cave and escape.

They rested inside of a hallowed out tree, using a fire Vard had started to dry off and warm themselves. Then the Shadow Wraiths appeared. Chasing after the Bearers the Wraiths cornerd them when the Billabugs that had been covered in earth kidnapped Chamel and Amal again, this time knocking them out cold.

Kage, having enough. Used his rage and frustration into using the most advanced attack of any Shadow Element: Blackhole. The result was Kage's energy dropping next to zero and also being crushed under a mound of trees and other debreigh. The others had escaped, sobbing over the apparent death of their friend.

Amal and Chamel escaped from the Billabugs and headed back to where the others were, only to find a huddled mass of tree parts and other rubble. Kage was gone. The others get ambushed by the Wraiths again and manage to blow them away with a combination of Elena's Nature's Anger and Sora's Windraker.

Now Amal and Chamel have joined them, and no one realizes that Kage is still alive and could die and any moment.....

Well, that's it for the summary....

Later.

[Darkmaster Kagemusha]

Alrighty then. Just for fun, I'll give ya the info on the character I'll be using for a while.

Name: Cassandra Lashana
Race: Human
Sex: Female
Age: 21
Innate: Light, but been trained in the arts of Shadow.
Appearence: 5'8" tall and slender. She is more well-muscled than any housewife, but she's built for speed more than power, but she's still very strong. She has dark red hair (not the bright orange kind) and green gray eyes that are rather captivating. She's also rather well endowed (if you understand me) and she wears a large baggy hooded black coat which hides her figure. Under that, however, she wears a tight black singlet which allows her uninhibited movement. She wears small combat boots that don't look crazy with her skin tight outfit as well as black leather gauntlets with metal plates in them
Personality: She always enjoys a good fight and has a lot of pride. If someone beats her she'll go after them until she can beat them. Cassandra is a very determined woman and you don't want to get on her bad side. She is usually a cold hearted killer, but sometimes she'll warm up to someone and be warm hearted but mean. Cassandra is capable of kindness, but only when something evokes motherly instincts.
Weapon: Claws very similar to Kage's (Wolverine style but on gauntlets instead of inside the body) except that her's are a little more slender and have a viscious-looking gut-hooks on the backs of the tips.

She won't be my normal character, she's just the one I'll be using while Kage is out of it.

Cassandra Lashana
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I leapt silently and swiftly through the mangled trees of the Hydra Jungle. I had tracked the pendant bearers there. I still wasn't sure why Garm had told me to track them down, only that they had pendants that were his. I had also been told that if I failed, he would send Dark Assassins to take care of them and me. That made me go even faster. Suddenly, I ran out of trees and made a deft landing in a clearing filled with debris. I walked up to the mammoth pile of splintered wood, torn leaves, and carcasses of some strange creatures that must inhabit the forest. As I looked around, I also noticed that there was only a clearing because the trees were all uprooted and in the pile. "What could have done this?" I said to myself quietly. Then I heard a groan of pain from the other side of the mound. I leapt over it and landed next to a large puddle--a puddle of water, mud, and what appeared to be blood. Lying in that puddle was the man that I was tracking for my own reasons. Kage, the one person who beat me was just lying there, unconcious, and I couldn't bring myself to kill him. It wouldn't be fair, and it wouldn't feel right either. I took off my coat and put it on the ground, then I dragged him as carefully as I could onto it and used that to drag him back to my camp site.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After two hours of walking, I finally reached my camp site--a little shack with magic stones surrounding it to protect it from the creatures of the forest. I laid Kage down on a bed of reeds next to my small fire. There was a small washbowl outside that had been collecting water, which I brought in and used to start cleaning his wounds.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I floated far above a forest. It was dark, and evil, and it was being drenched by a sinister downpour. "Am I dead?" I asked myself. I had felt cold, but suddenly, warmth and a comfortable feeling washed over me. I looked down at my side, and the gash that was in it. I held my breath as an experiment. I heard a faint gasp in the back of my mind--the gasp of a woman--and I felt the lack of oxygen getting to me. I then breathed in deeply. "Well, that answered my question. So here's another one, where am I?" I looked down at the forest, and suddenly, the edges of my vision blurred and I moved very quickly over the expanse of trees. Then, as quickly as it began, I stopped and I was floating above the other Innates. They seemed to have vanquished the Wraiths. I couldn't hear anything, so I went down to try and read their lips. I walked up in front of Saké and he didn't see me. "Okay then, this is like my Trance thing," I said to myself. He looked like he was saying something about me being dead. I put my hand on his forehead--and to my amazement, I could feel it. I then spoke to him with my mind as best I could--being as new to the ability of Trance as I was. Gimme some credit, man! I thought at him. Then, I was dragged back to my original position above the forest, and blacked out.

[MechAlphaChamel]

Well, the end of high school is almost here for me (over for you already Denny) and well, I have had more time to play the only online game for the Game Cube, PSO. Not only that but I have been helping out on the drop charts for the Yellowboze section ID. Right now at psoquest, the drop chart is only 60% complete, I plan to get that to atleast 95% complete. Well, now I shall get on to the topic before I get too involved...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There we all stood dong nothing in particular. I was watching a bug on a nearby leaf. Amal was trying to get some of the mud off of her clothing. We had lost any and all motivation to do anything. Suddenly the bug disapeared, and Chamel was sitting down, having lunch. "Man, all that work sure took it out of me." said Chamel. "What work did you do?" inquired Sake. "I hauled Amal around in the trees while we caught up to you." replied Chamel. They began to get back to doing what they were doing in the beging: nothing. The rain was still coming down upon them. "When will this rain end?" asked in a Horus in a whiny tone. No one answered...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, thats all for the post, and if anyone here does play PSO and is online with it, I will see you all on my 18 birthday, September 5. Talk then!

PS: Denny, get on messenger on Tuesday.

Sorry I haven't posted. I don't have net at home. Well, it took some work and a lot of time, but I have finished Faile Thundersong and she is not on the Site.

Faile Thundersong

Tuon may take some time, because she basically looks like a Pterasaur, mainly because of google215's main description.

I haven't worked on teh Story much in the past week because I spent the greater part of my time working on a project to get some money for college. I'm about 5000 short. and the Grand prize for the contest is 4000, plus maybe 1000 for first place in the quarter. It's called Star's End and I posted it to get some feedback from the readers.

Star's End

Just be glad it's not double spaced. It would be about 90 pages long then.

Well, on with the Game. Oh, and you forgot to put her Innate Darkmaster

Well as stated above: LLLLLLEETTTTS Get Ready to RUMBBLLEEE!!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The clouds were beging to give up, and the rain had seised. There wasn't any unusual sounds that could be taken for threatening. The sound of a Cidia could be heard, and the sound of falling water. There was our group walking along the wet grass. They reached some wooded area, here was Hydra Jungle. The group stoped for a rest, and they all got a drink of water from a leaf that had water pouring out of it. "This don't look like no scary jungle." said Chamel. "Just wait till you get inside, all sorts of unusual critters inside. Some never seen by man or beast, at least that made it out alive." (bad rhyme) said Sake, in a rather haunting voice. "That was creepy." said Chamel, as he turned white colored. "When you said that, it felt like something crawled up my spine." said Chamel, his scales standing on end. "Yes, that was a cobra." said Horus, jokingly. Chamel jumped five feet into the air when Horus said this. "Hey now, cut it out. Seriously, it felt like something crawled up my spine." said Chamel sharply. "Yeah, it was probably a shiver." said Sake in a annoyed tone. "Not a chance, I've seen those funny things called movies, and the Chameleon is the first one gone!" said Chamel in a heightening tone. He took off his upper garments. There was a giant snake slithering up his spine. All went white with fear, "No, nothing there." said Sake in a tiny voice. "Amal, tell me, is anything on my back?" asked Chamel. "YES, THE SIZE OF IT! OH MY GOD! ITS HUGE!" shouted Amal. At this point Chamel is gone, only his drabby shoes remain. "Chamel?" implied Faile, "Are you here?" she asked. A few (about ten) seconds later Chamel landed on the ground, holding this three foot long snake, strangling it. "DIE YOU LEG-LESS COWARD!!" shouted Chamel. "YOU DIE NOW! DAYLIGHT NO MORE FOR YOU!" he shouted some more. "Ok Chamel, he's a harmless snake, see?" said Sake. As he said this the snake jumped up and bit him in his little pinky finner. (yes, I spelled finger finner) Each of had either end of the snake, they launched the critter back into the forest. "See, he's a harmless snake..." joked Horus. "I don't wanna hear anything out of you!" said Sake in a irritated voice, "Besides, my pinky finner hurts!" he said in a small voice. Amal suddenly jumped up. "Anyone smell or see what I smell and see?" she asked. "Yeah, now that you mention it, I do smell something..." said Chamel. "Me too." said sake, as well as the rest of the group. "Smells like... LUNCH!" said Chamel.
Tear drops*
With that, the group set off into the Hydra Jungle to discover what was causing this mysterous odor, that smells much like big, fat, juicy New York steak.

And with that, I'm off to the store to get some big fat juicy pork chops! (Mouth watering)

It wasn't long before the rain started again, heavier than ever. We were all drenched to the bone, but luckily we found a set of trees that had grown in a way to act as a natural roof. The ground under them was dry.

Vared got a fire going as Chamel still tried to convince everyone to keep going and find the food. We didn't want to move, yet.

I sat down, my sword in my lap. Setsuna sitting beside me. My head bumped against the trunk of the trees and I could feel my eyes get heavy. Slowly I nodded off....

--------------------

Kage, if you want to, enter my dream and you can tell us were your body is. Up to you.... Sorry the post is so short. I was, uh, destracted for most of the day.

Later!

Amal - Water
--------------
Food. The thought of it made my mouth water. While some of the others sat down to rest, I had my mind on the smell that could drift through the rain. Not caring that I could get wet since I was naturally drawn to the rain, I set out, followed by whoever wanted food. Pushing through the brush, I sniffed as the smell became stronger and stronger.
"Smells like beef", I said aloud to no one in particular.
Drawing upon the delicious smell, I could hear shuffling up ahead. Knowing that it was in front of me, I looked over the bush I was standing behind and found Shadow Wraiths roasting a couple of cows under a huge tree, obviously keeping out the rain. As I glared at the sight incredeously, a hand was placed on my shoulder. Reeling around, I grabbed the arm and twisted.
"Now really, would I do the same thing to a teammate?", Chamel gasped as I kept my grip.
"You should've told me sooner that you were coming", I whispered and let go.
Crouching down, we looked at the sight as he massaged his arm in pain.
"Roasted cow, sounds yummy", he grinned.
"Don't count on it. Without Saké, we hardly stand a chance", I muttered.
Getting up to turn around and head back quietly, we stared into the drooling face of a Shadow Wraith. Turning around, the whole lot of them surrounded the two of us, exposing their sickening claws and teeth.
"Can you tell me why no one else came with you?", I asked blandly.
"I don't know. Maybe my naturally warm and bubbly personality just pushed them away", he smiled as he went into a fighting stance.
I just rolled my eyes as I started to concentrate. Using the rushing rainfall all around me as my weapon, I swung my glaive around and pointed at the wraith in front of us. Instead of dropping onto the ground, the rain slammed into the monster, sending it flying backwards into the brush. Turning around, I moaned as at least a dozen more were snarling in front of us.
"This doesn't look good", I said as I slammed water into the nearest wraith as they came forward, ready to tear us apart.

Kage tossed and groaned painfully. His fever had gone up. I had to remind myself to never let him get sick again, because he was likely to smash his head on something in his sleep. I pressed a cool, damp cloth to his forehead and he calmed down a little. "If you die, I'm going to kill you!" I said.

Kage Ikagaide
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everywhere I looked was darkness and pain. I couldn't escape it. I felt like my skin was on fire. Suddenly, the fire was doused, and I was back in my old dream--which it had to be. I went through my same series of movements, and soon found myself floating above a sleeping Saké. "Hm...I'm in a dream, and he's dreaming, so that means that I should be able to get in there..." I said to myself. I pushed myself down into Saké's thoughts.

I saw Saké beating up a large, monstrous shadow. Even in his dreams, he fought evil. "Saké," I said. He whirled around and the form he was attacking dissapeared.

"Wh-what? Kage?"

"You've gotta give me more credit boy," I said, crossing my arms. "I'm not dead. I'm not sure if I'm in one piece or not, since I've been unconcious since I used the last of my power. I'm being taken care of by someone near the north edge of the forest, that's all I know. Now then, rest up and cheer up. We can't have so many unhappy people trudging through an evil forest, it'll attract things worse than those Wraiths. Trust me, I've seen them."

[MechAlphaChamel]

Chamel started to back up, the wraiths closing in. Amal was casting water spells to keep them at bay, but it was becoming more and more usless. It was as if Amal was losing her magical energy, or the wraiths were becoming imune to the attacks. They kept getting closer, and Amal was slipping, Chamel could tell, mostly because when he was little, he had done the same thing that Amal was doing, using all her energy, leaving her helpless. Chamel had to intervine fast, or he would be carrying Amal back to camp, or back to camp in pieces. "Greecan!" Chamel shouted, and with that, towers of rock seperated them from the wraiths. He grabed Amal, who was quite weary. "Time to go." said Chamel, in a stern voice. "We must warn the others of the coming company..."

Sake was in a deep sleep when they got back to camp. "WHAT IS LAZY HERE DOING?!" Shouted Chamel. Sake leaped ten feet into the air. "What the, mommy?" Sake mumbled. Keeping himself from laughing, Chamel explained what had happened. "So, you set out to find out about the mystery smell? Eh?" inquired Sake. "Yes, it smelled so delicious." Said Chamel. "Well, since we have to head in that general direction to get Kage, your forgiven." Said Sake. "Everyone get ready to leave." Said Sake. "Man, we just stopped for a rest, now we have to go because Amal and Chamel went out into the forest to find some beef?!" Whined Faile. "Yes, we have to... Unless you want to stay here?" asked Sake, in a rather sly voice. "Not a chance!" Replied Faile.

The group was mobile in minutes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, like I posted earlier, PSOquest is dead. No more great place to get the best info on PSO anymore. Oh well... when Smashboards gets back up and running...
Denny, get on here, next time you get on and read this (Which I know you will do) E-mail me, tell me when to get on and I'll be on. talk to you then!

As our group ran, I started to think out loud.
"The Wraths are supposed to be afraid of light, right? That's why they couldn't attack us that first time untill the fire went out. But just a moment ago they were roasting a cow over an open flame. Doesn't anything seem a bit fishy about that?"
I half-turned as I ran and shot a Fireball right into the center of the Wraiths following us. They merely sidestepped to avoid running into it as it passed, then regrouped afterward.
"You know, you're right, something it's right about those." Faile responded. She shot a Thunder Arrow at them, but they paid as little mind to the bright lightning bollts as they did to the blazing flames.
