Redemption

[COLOR=Red]Ziarre and Shadow set down in amongst the mutilated corpses of the battlefield. It was a sea of blood and body-parts. Ziarre sighed. " Today, I have lost my innocence." The griffin nodded sadly. " Yes. That you have." Soon, both Ziarre and Shadown were flying above the King and the others. She kept an eye out for Lee. His attention seemed fixed on his father. She had seen the arrow heading towards her father. She didn't want to risk setting him alight just to burn the arrow that he eventually pulled out of him. Ziarre had also seen Jessica's unfortunate ordeal. She could see the pain Jessica was experiencing. " Poor girl. Losing her parents in one battle." " Yes. But, it will eventually happen one day to all of us. Its just unfortunate how it happened." " I agree." Soon, they approached the palace. " You know what I need?" Ziarre suddenly burst out. " What?" Shadow asked, wondering what the hell she was going on about. " I need.......I need.........a place where I can settle for a while. You know, like my little place at home." " Hmm......where would we find a place like that?" " I don't know." As soon as Ziarre finished her sentence, Dark flew down and perched himself on Ziarre's right shoulder. She had left him behind. He wouldn't have stood a chance in battle. " Dark. Nice to see that you are safe."[/COLOR]

Thanks Shredda and Silver. They both look great!

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]Robin watched the others finish off the remainder of the demons. She sat comfortably on Raven who pawed his hooves anxiously. He and Arawn knew what was about to happen and the Elementals had to get there before a slaughter would happen. Soon the others joined her. " Well that's that," Robin started, " Now, we will move onto a much bigger battle. Currently the world's leaders are gathering mighty armies to defeat the rising population of demons. However, we know that these dog demons are the tip of the iceberg. I can sense beings of death - much much stronger ones. I fear that they will be unleashed on the unsuspecting armies of the races when they meet at the Plains of Semna. Fortunately, they know not of our existence. We need to help them otherwise they will be like lambs before the slaughter. So, I suggest we all move to the Plains of Semna hastily. We will make camp in the town of Ilthica, about 50 miles south of here. We need to get there asap. Is that understood? You can do what you like when we get there, but meet at the fountain in the centre of the town. I'll have more information by then." OOC:For your next post people, make it when you arrive in the town and something happens to you. its up to you what happens. Go for it.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Red]Ziarre watched the prince head straight into battle. " He's too immature to realise what he is doing," the great white griffin huffed. " I agree Shadow. But, what the prince does, we have to do," Ziarre sighed, her thoughts reverting back to the lecture he had given her back at the palace. She growled. Then the king flung himself into battle. Ziarre watched as the others joined in. Shadow ruffed his wings angrily. " I have lived through many wars but this is the most ridiculous assult I have ever seen." " Well Shadow, what do you expect?" Ziarre questioned him, now retrieving her bow and arrows from her back. " Nothing more and nothing less..." the griffin replied. " Lets go. If they see us dawdling here, I'll get another lecture from Mr High-and-Mighty over there............although, he is pretty cute when he gets mad." " ZIARRE! This is not the time to be thinking about that." " Alright alright. Go." With a huge sweep of his feathered wings, Shadow took off into the sky. Ziarre notched magical arrows onto her golden bow and released them with lightning speed. When these arrows hit their target, they set alight and reform as another arrow in Ziarre's quiver. Ziarre watched the warrior Jessica save a group of people, as did Aria. Ziarre felt pride for her homeland and wanted to protect it, but something just didn't want to let her get her guard down. She didn't know these people from a bar of soap. All of them seemed strange to her. It was worrisome. Shadow flew around in the air, allowing Ziarre the best advantage points to mark from. Every single target she aimed for, she hit with lethal force. It was a pleasing performance. However, she kept an eye out for Lee, seeing that he was in no danger that he couldn't handle. The other eye she kept on the king. He was too old for battle but still had a willing spirit. The body just couldn't keep up. The battle continued, althought the amount of the enemy was seriously depleting. OOC: I hope this is ok with you Heero. Lol, be a little like Dragon Riders ;) :p [/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange]OOC: Sorry, been on a week hols. I'm so sorry Silver. But I'm back now. Boru's words echoed in Ziarre's head constantly. He was right. About everything. About holding back, about how she is always in the way, everything. Her brilliant green eyes suddenly turned velvety black. [I]The soul of fire....[/I] It was what she wanted to become. Ziarre didn't want to control it. She wanted to be one with it. And.....Boru had the answer. He, the Malacha'ai demon had the answer. He was also right about another thing. Why should she stick her neck out for Night or Zet, Rebecca or Phoenix when they didn't stick their necks out for her? The choice was obvious. _________________________________________________________________ As Phoenix and Zet walked back to the mansion, Ziarre slid into the forest and started searching for the Malacha'ai demon. He was the only one who could help her now. He was her only hope. _________________________________________________________________ After many hours of searching, Ziarre finally came to the slums. Her demon blood sensed a great gathering of demons nearby. Hopefully Boru would be here. Secretly, she snuck in, desperately hoping not to be found. She looked over the edge to see demons swarming down below. A booming voice suddenly rang out. " My fellow demons. Tonight is the night where we finally gain the forces to annihilate the human race once and foreall. Tonight, we summon our fallen comrades to aid in our offensive." A huge roar echoed through the abandoned streets. Ziarre looked at Boru who now stood in front of the huge demon horde. Suddenly, someone hit her from behind. Her vision went black. _________________________________________________________________ The next thing Ziarre knew was that she was thrown onto the ground, hard. She opened her black velvet eyes and looked around. Two burly demons had captured her from the rooftop and now had brought her to Boru. She stood up and looked Boru in the eyes. " Boru, I want to be strong....." OOC: I hope I haven't done anything wrong Silver. if I have, PM me. Thanks.[/COLOR]

I'd like a new banner please. It has to contain the picture attached and the words "Silence is deadly" You can do cool things to it, as long as that picture and the words are in it. Thanks! :D [img]http://otakuboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=21489[/img] [color=teal]I haven't been very good about enforcing this rule, but we ask that you place the topic of the banner in your thread name. Since yours doesn't really cover a particular franchise, the fact that you have a picture to use is sufficient enough and helps to be mentioned. ^_^ -Syk3[/color]

[FONT=Franklin Gothic Medium][COLOR=Red]OOC: Sorry Heero, I was on hols and couldn't get on. I'm back now. A cool breeze whipped across Ziarre's face as she skipped over slippery rocks that sat unmoved in a lucious stream. Her elabourately decorated grey cloak fluttered in the cool breeze. The cool water lapped at the ston'es edges. [i]Water...[/I] Ziarre thought and shivered. She made her way merrily over to the other side of the stream. This was her favourite place in the whole world. Somewhere quiet and peaceful. No noise of the city or the palace. Just nature. Somewhere untamed, just like her. This was the only place she felt at peace. A cawing sound caught her attention. A raven flew down to her and landed on her shoulder. " What are you doing here Dark?" Ziarre asked her pet. It moved its head near its leg nearest to her head. On it was a letter with the seal of the wizard Alvadon. " A letter from Alvadon? I haven't heard from him for ages. What does her want now?" Ziarre said to herself, her tone turning fiery, like her element. She opened the letter and read it. Within a minute, she threw it on the ground and set it alight. " So, he wants me to come to his aid now does he? What a fool......... After what he did to me! I should think not." She stormed off into the woods, Dark hanging onto her shoulder for dear life. ________________________________________________________________ The smell of smoke made its way up Ziarre's nostrils. She coughed and spluttered, hating the overwhelming smell of burning sulphur. Eventually, the princess came to the palace gates of Tyriam the sorcer realm. She entered without a word to the guards. They could see she was fuming and dared not to interfere with the second most powerful sorcerer in the land. " Idiot...." Ziarre kept muttering to herself as she made her way to the throne room. Dark's caw brought her to reality. Her father, Arcine, stood magnificently in front of her. " So, you do not heed Alvadon's call?" he asked his favourite child. Ziarre looked at him with fire in her eyes. " After what he did to me, never. He abandoned me in the middle of my training! Why the hell should I?!?" Ziarre replied fiestily. " You are my child," Arcine replied suddenly, laughing out aloud. Ziarre was shocked but soon returned to her fuming state. " Temper temper my dear child," Arcine explained, " You are burdened by the medallion around your neck. You have to go and I order you too." Ziarre went to open her mouth but Arcine held up a hand. " Tyriam needs you Ziarre. Darkness is coming." " Oh alright. As long as you give me Shadow!" Ziarre stated firmly, becoming her childish side. She stood there with her arms crossed as if waiting for the answer. " You may have Shadow. He is in the stalls. Now go Ziarre, you are already late." ___________________________________________________________________ Air rushed through Ziarre's long black hair. She and Shadow soared through the air. Dark the Raven was perched on the saddle in front of Ziarre. Shadow was a pure white griffin. It was Arcine's favoured war-beast. The Sorian Kingdom came into view. " Finally. I hope Alvadon realises what I'm doing for him. Bastard!" They landed outside of the city walls. Ziarre hopped off and led the griffin through the city. Many heads turned their way. Ziarre, as usual, ignored them. Her ruby red eyes looked around as she gripped her golden ring staff. Soon, they arrived at the palace gates. Some of the guards seemed confused by Ziarre's demeanour. She was happy again and had forgotten about Alvadon for the time being. She was her childish self again. " Excuse me miss but only Medallion Holders are permitted to enter the Palace," one guard bravely said. Ziarre looked at him. " And you think I'm not a Medallion Holder? Why?" Ziarre asked, playing innocent. " For one, you are no warrior. Two, you are too childish. And three, you look more like a fortune-teller than a sorceress." Ziarre's eyes narrowed dangerous. Fire suddenly appeared on the guard's clothes. He danced around, trying to put it out. Ziarre smiled and walked through the now open gates. She sat down on the stairs and waited for someone to come and get her.[/COLOR][/FONT]

The general demon is a black-hided, hairless dog. However, as we progress through the RPG more powerful demons will appear. These will be like gargoyles or harpies. The most powerful are like a giant skeletal dragon and a giant stone soldier. Dog demons don't have any powers. They just attack. Anywhere the weapon strikes it will deal damage. Harpy and gargoyle demons have small fire and ice powers. Harpies are vunerable when grounded (slice off their wings) as are the gargoyle demons. The dragon demon has firebreathing powers. A skeletal dragon is vunerable to water,earth, light and life powers. The stone demon has earthly powers. Vunerable to fire, wind, darkness powers. Does that answer your question Takuya?

[FONT=Franklin Gothic Medium][COLOR=DarkSlateGray]OOC: Sorry I haven't been here. Been on hols. Didn't get the chance to tell you guys. Sorry. I'm back now. Robin glared at Gray after he kicked the hairless, black-hided, dog-like demon off of her. [I]I can do it myself![/I] she hissed at him through her mind as she stood up. She withdrew an arrow from her quiver and notched it. Finding a target, she unleashed it upon the line of demons. With her lethal accuracy, it pierced 10 dog demons in one shot. The mere strength of Hades was enough to pierce through three humans or one lizard-person. And accompanied with Robin's accuracy, not a single target had ever escaped alive. Sprinting light-footedly through the other elements, she retreived her arrow and jumped out of an already smashed window. Arawn followed her. Robin looked around a wolf-whistled. Raven smashed his way out of his stall, hearing his mistress's call. He stampeded towards her. With a delicate jump, Robin swung herself into Raven's saddle. Arawn sprinted beside her. [COLOR=Red]Mistress, perhaps this is the time to end this?[/COLOR] Arawn suggested. Raven snorted in approval as they weaved through attacking demons. " Yes, perhaps this is the time. I haven't used my ultimate technique for years. It will show the others we're not to be messed with," Robin replied. Raven wheeled around to face the onslaught of demons. Her black velvet eyes swirled with clouds of impending doom. Standing up on the back of Raven, she levitated herself up into the air, calling forth the element of death. Notching an arrow onto Hades, she started muttering a spell. Black symbols of death swirled around the tip of the arrow. A wind gusted up around her. Robin muttered ancient words of death in Elvish. At that moment, she unleashed the arrow. It hurtled towards the demons. Sensing doom, they scattered and tried to escape but to no avail. The arrow hit the earth. A hemisphere of death energy exploded and rippled outwards, causing death to all demons. Any Elemental that was caught in the hemisphere would not be harmed. Within seconds, most of the demons were killed. Robin slowly levitated back down onto Raven's back, panting. Beside them, Arawn was panting also. " And THAT wasn't even full power!" she whispered triumphantly. Arawn and Raven nodded and made theri way back to the others. Robin hooked her bow over her shoulders. She looked inside the inn. Many of the other Elementals were finishing off the rest of the demons. Patiently, she waited outside for them so they could travel onto another scene of death, a new battlezone soon will be drenched in blood. ___________________________________________________________________ Aricin and Zarek looked on as the Chief General of the Army laid plans and strategies out before them. They had decided, as father and son, that they would defeat these demons even if it meant sacrificing their lives. They planned to march out and meet a demon onlsaught that was sweeping from the north at the Plains of Semna, the only battlezone ever in Mir. At that very moment, male and female warriors of every race were banding together as they too, have noticed the sudden uprising of these extinct creatures. Elyron, the kign of the Elves, was gathering Elvish troops in the Forest of Cerridwen. Thorain, the king of Dwarves, gathered his troops in the mountains around Nineveh. And Cobray, the King of the Lizard-people, gathered his troops around the deserts near Phoenica. Everywhere, people gathered to train for war, something they had never experienced. This would be one of the darkest hours in the kingdom of Mir. [/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Franklin Gothic Medium]Robin stroked Arawn's head slowly, watching the other elemental holders intensely. Her bow and quiver lay idle at her side. [i]Interesting.....[/I] Robin thought to herself as she sipped some honey tea from her cup. [I]Most of them are here. We should begin then.[/I] Standing up, Robin approached the bar and whispered a few words to the innkeeper of the 'Bearded Beast'. He nodded and started hearding every person except the elementals out of the inn. Once cleared, he too headed to his house at the back of the inn. Silence. Nothing but the noise of the woods outside could be heard. Robin turned to them all, her black velvet eyes sparkling. " You all know why we are here. And I know that everyone here has a similar goal concerning the new demon threat," Robin started. Some didn't respond to her, but in their minds, they knew she was right. She continued. " I propose, since we are a kind of brotherhood, that we join forces. I fear that the sorcer or sorceress will be extremely powerful and any of us will be unable to take them down alone." She received some nods. " As we are all elementals - receivers of gifts, wanted or unwanted. However, I firmly believe that we should use these gifts, or curses however you like to call them, to good use. Even though we have been singled out by society for these gifts, we shuld still stop this threat, as I believe we are the only ones powerful enough to do so." " I agree," piped up the elemental of Light. She and Robin had an encounter earlier. Much to the girl's disappointment, Robin passed by without an answer. It was not that she didn't want to answer, but more it was difficult to answer such a kindness - something Robin was not used to. " Yes, something has to be done about it," replied the elemental of Spirit. " Good. Then, introduce yourself," Robin said firmly, making sure most of them would co-operate. " I am Kari Kaze. Kerma the the Light Faerie and I are the elements of Light," the girl wearing blue and white said. " I am Lee Draedon. With Verdon the Sphinx, he and I are the elements of Spirit," said the man who was accompanied by pure white panther. " My name is Kumiko. Epona is the Water Serpent and I share her abilities," said the woman with the small blue character on her forehead. " Kadaj. Tyiar the Fire Phoenix is my partner," replied the man with the double-katana. " I am Ianus. Arcana is the Dark Griffin," the lady with a crescent moon scar on her face. " Ryu. Element of Life. I share with Zurata the Life Pegusas," said the man with the bone staff. " I'm Gray. Enkai and I are the elements of Earth," the man who sat next to the dwarf said. Robin now stepped into the middle of the room. " My name is Robin and I am the element of Death. Arawn, the Hell Hound, shares our abilities." " Now that we have been introduced, we need to discuss the matters at hand," Robin said before a huge black dog-like figure smashed through the window and tackled Robin. They skidded along the floor. All the elementals stood up rapidly. Soon, the door crashed down and the inn was flooded with demons. ____________________________________________________________________ Meanwhile..... A small beel rang, signalling the arrival of a messenger at the Great Hall at the Summer Palace in Sargon. The King and Queen of Mir looked up from their meals. A red-faced messenger boy sprinted into the Hall and only slowed when he came to the King's chair. " Your Majesty. I have terrible news from the north. Demons have......" " DEMONS!" the King roared, standing up fromt he table quickly, knocking over his glass of wine. Servants quickly cleaned up the mess. The boy continued. " Yes Your Majesty. They have ravaged an entire village and, rumours say that are about to strike a second." " WHAT! BUT DEMONS ARE EXTINCT! THEY DIED OUT LONG AGO WHEN THE BATTLE OF MIR WAS DECIDED!" " Calm down Aricin. You cannot rule with a hot head," the Queen, Raina, cooed. Aricin sat down heavily." My people are being killed by a force unlike today's people have seen. These creatures are from the Underworld and will not stop until they make it like their homeland. I have only read about them, for I am far too young to have been in the Battle of Mir." Suddenly the Prince Zarek and the Princess Amelia sprinted into the Great Hall. " Father, I heard that there are demons about. I wish to ask you if I can command a legion of troops to go out and defeat these gastly creatures," Zarek suggested firmly. Amelia looked horrified. " No Father. Don't send him to the warzone," she begged her father when she saw he was seriously considering the option. " No, I will not send him to a battle alone. I will accompany him. Servant, get me the General," Aricin said to a servant lad to the right of him. Raina sat there frozen. " Both of you are going into battle?" she asked timidly, knowing her husband's temper. " Yes, my love. Unfortunately, neither of myself or Zarek have been battle-experienced. I think its about time we did it in reality," the King replied sternly. With that, he left his seat and walked to the Tactics Room, Zarek astride with him.[/FONT]

Normally I leave that for the RPer to decide. You can have it what ever size you want Ohkami.

[COLOR=Red]EVERYONE NEEDS TO MEET MY CHARACTER AT AN INN THAT IS MENTIONED IN MY POST! THIS IS SO WE CAN GET SOME REAL EVENTS STARTED![/COLOR] [COLOR=DarkSlateGray]Robin looked up at the man who had commanded her name. Her black velvet eyes bored into his. " Why should I tell my name when I do not even know yours," Robin hissed, disliking how this man spoke to her. Arawn growled, raising his hackles. The man was not impressed by her answer. " I ask you again, what is your name otherwise face my wrath!" Robin strode forward to him, tempting him to hit her with his staff. Raven pawded the ground with his hooves angrily. " I don't like being spoken to it that way sir. However, to save your pain, I will answer your question. I am Robin. I and Arawn are the elements of death. You sir, I see, is the element of life, judging by the pegusas at your side. My opposite." The small girl groaned. Robin whirled around. " If you excuse me, master of life, I wish to help this girl," she said calmly. The man stopped whirling his staff. " By summoning death upon her...." he taunted. With that smart remark, Robin whipped out her bow, stringed an arrow and shot right at the man's head. He moved his staff swiftly to stop the arrow going right between his eyes. " Do NOT mock me or my powers. I don't wish my gifts upon anyone unless they are thoroughly deserving of them!" She positioned the girl comfortably onto Raven. The man walked to Robin's side. " Since I am the element of life, I can heal this girl." " Could you instead of yabbering?" Robin snapped coldly. The man scowled by placed his hands on the child and healed her. " It will take a few hours before she finds the strength to awaken," he said. Robin nodded and hopped onto Raven. Arawn followed obiedently. " I'm going to inspect the village in the morning. Would you like to accompany me to a large travelling inn just a few miles south of here? Since we are both elements?" Robin suggested, trying to be friendly although she wasn't quite sure it would work. " If you do come, I will be in the drinking area. Your companions are well cared for there as they are acustomed to my presence there. There are rooms where your companions can stay with you. If you come, I will see you there." With that, she spurred Raven on and took off into the night, her long purple Elven cloak billowing out behind her. [/COLOR]

To answer your question Freude, I'd rather you play as a human but if you want to play as another race then that's fine. Just PM if you want too. Heero, the Sphinx and spirit are linked together from ancient Egypt. Cats and all other living creatures had ka, or the spirit of a person. I read a short story on how a cat saved a terminally ill little girl by giving her its ka. That's where the idea came from. The Sphinx, since its like a cat and it was fantasy, was an obvious choice. Does that answer your questions?

[COLOR=DarkOrange]Ziarre crouched at the top of the largest cathedral in the city. Atop of the roof, she looked like another of the stone gargoyles. Rath brushed past her. [I]Ziarre....I think its time we go back to the mansion. Your phone has been ringing non-stop since you had your wonderful display in front of Night.[/I] Rath said. " No. I don't want to go back. It may be my home but I don't want to go back there. Everyone thinks I'm weak. Night....Zet.....Phoenix....especially Rebecca..... everyone.......even........even I do. But, I know I'm not. Inside, I know I'm not," Ziarre replied, her voice a little distant. The cougar started to worry about its mistress. She'd never been like this before. It was scary. Ziarre walked to the edge, held out her arms and fell off the roof. Rath knew what she was doing and slowly made his way down to the ground. The air hit Ziarre's face like cold needles. It was refreshing and exhilarating. The ground came up to meet her. With a small rotation, Ziarre landed squarely on her feet. Rath came up to her. The first rays of morning light hit Ziarre's face. The heat she felt from it renewed the flame inside Ziarre's body. She breathed in deeply. " Rath, I want to prove to everyone, including myself that I'm not weak...." The cougar decided to stay silent. It was heartbreaking for him to see his mistress who was so strong, become so self-doubting. Together, they started walking back to Sierra Mansion. _________________________________________________ Ziarre and Rath walked through the large timber doors. Before they entered, Ziarre looked up at Night's balcony but didn't see the Hunter there. " Probably out with Rebecca..." Ziarre mumbled jealously. Before long, Selino had found the pair eating breakfast in the main Dining Hall. A scowl crossed his face. " Lady Ziarre!" he said rather crossly, or as crossly as an old man could get. Ziarre turned around to see the old servant walk over to her. " Never have I been so angry with you! An experienced Hunter run away! And when Master Night needed you the most!" " Selino.....I don't need your lectures..." Ziarre replied calmly. The old servant stood there shocked at the depressed exterior of the normally fiery Hunter. " Lady Ziarre?" he asked. With no further word, Ziarre stood up from the table and swept past the servant in silence, on the way to her room. OOC: Sorry. Exams got in the way. I'm back now.[/COLOR]

Welcome to the Elemental Beasts: Demon Invasion Undergorund thread. This is for the RPG Elemental Beasts: Demon Invasion. Here, the world of Mir, the places and people will be explained for the RPers involved. [U]The world of Mir[/U] The world of Mir is a fantasy land. It is full of deep dark forests, long forgotten plains, high mountains, islands far off into the sea, hills of green grassy meadows, coastal cliffs, deep valleys, endless canyons and erupting volcanoes. There is a royal family of Mir. King: Aricin Queen: Raina Prince: Zarek Princess: Amelia It is inhabited by creatures of all sorts, both fantasy and real. It is also inhabited by four races: the Elves, the Dwarves, the Lizard People and the Humans. [U]Races[/U] [B]Humans:[/B] The Humans are the medievil equivalent of today. They are excellent traders, farmers, fishermen and seafarers. They normally reside in coastal areas and on the islands since they are the only race that use boats. [B]Lizard-people:[/B] The Lizard-people dwell in the meadows, deserts and canyons of Mir. Basically they are lizard that stand upright and are taller than any man. They are excellent Hunters and beast-wielders. They have tamed many creatures and have used them to good use. They trade well with Humans and are on good terms with them. [B]Dwarves:[/B] The Dwarves are small stout people that only come up to a human's waist. Normally they have beards. They dwell in the mountains of Mir and mine precious metals from them. They are excellent blacksmiths, miners and weapon-makers. They have an alliance with the Lizard-people and are suppliers of weapons and armour to the Humans. [B]Elves:[/B] The Elves are a long, slender race of immortals. They have pointed ears, are as tall as the Lizard-people and are graceful. They dwell in the forests and deep valleys of Mir and usually keep to themselves. The Dwarves and the Elves have their differences but there has never been a war between the two races. The Elves are excellent bow-men, healers and weavers. [U]Places in Mir[/U] Here are a few places in Mir that you should know about. Sargon - the coastal capital of Mir and houses the Summer Palace Phoenica - religious capital of Mir - origins of Tyiar, the Fire Phoenix Nineveh - busy healing centre - origins of Zurata the Life Pegusas Zoni - small farming town - origins of Enkai the Earth Tiger - houses Spring Palace Zagros - city atop a mountain - busy mining centre - origins of Zephyr the Thunder Dragon Magnon - large city - houses Autumn Palace Abydos - funeral centre - large cemetery - origins of Arawn the Hell Hound Island of Nabidonus - island retreat - festival centre - houses Winter Palace - origins of Epona the Water Serpent Plains of Semna - where the only battle of Mir occured Forests of Cerridwen - origins of Kerma the Light Faerie Shadow Region of Marduk - where lost souls wander - only royalty allowed past gates - origins of Tjekker the Dark Griffin XOIS - houses the Keep of the Ancients - the forbidden region - where a great sorceress once lived millenia ago

[FONT=Georgia][COLOR=DarkGreen][CENTER][SIZE=3]ELEMENTAL BEASTS: DEMON INVASION[/SIZE][/CENTER] Smoke screened the night sky, blocking the moon's silver light. The dull glow of the burning village gave the only light for the young girl to see by as she ran into the dense, dark forest. Behind her, large black dog-like figures flitted from shadow to shadow. Pushing through a prickly bush, the young girl tripped over a large stone. Hitting the ground, she could feel heavy panting at her back. The disgusting smell of rotting flesh wafted under her nose. Quickly, she stood up and frantically stumbled her way towards a well-travelled road that led to the seaside capital of Mir - Sargon. Suddenly, she was tackled by a large animal. Her screams echoed through the still night, until, finally, they died away. Silence hung in the night air like death. A dark feminine figure stood among the burning remains of the village her 'pets' had just ravaged. A wicked smile crossed her flawless face. Her black eyes glittered with delight at the sight of such devastation and destruction. Soon, the large black dog-like figures swarmed around her, awaiting a new command to they could reap their hell once again. " To the next village my loyal pets..." she hissed. A rowdy vicious roar of delight split the night air - a roar that would strike fear into the hearts of the bravest of warriors. [/COLOR] [CENTER]*********************************[/CENTER] Robin stared into the small crackling fire unhappily. Raven, who was sitting behind his mistress, snorted, feeling Robin?s discontent. ? I know Raven. I?m unhappy. There?s no much work for us these days. No one wants a cursed hunter. Especially when Arawn lurks around and scares the villagers half to death. Life is tough my friend. Perhaps in the future we will find somewhere where we can be at peace,? Robin said, her voice cool. Suddenly, two gleaming red eyes appeared at the edge of the forest. Robin and Raven had made camp at the side of a well-travelled road that lead to Sargon, the capital of Mir. A thick dense forest surrounded these parts. [I]Mistress, Arawn is here?[/I] Raven told his mistress through a telepathic link. Robin looks up at the red gleaming eyes. ? You can come out Arawn, Hell Hound of Death,? Robin said coldly, becoming her real self. Normally she was as cold as ice. The momentary lapse in emotion before was an extremely rare thing. Arawn strode forward. Its pitch-black hide camouflaged perfectly into the night. ? Arawn?my death dealing friend?? Robin whispered. Raven got to his feet. Suddenly, a girl?s scream split the night air. Robin whirled around to the direction it had come from. Then a rowdy roar of evil followed soon after the scream. The smell of death wafted under Robin?s nose. ? Death?.? she whispered. Robin stamped out the fire, swung herself onto Raven, who was still fully packed, and raced towards the roar with Arawn following obediently. ________________________________________________ Robin and Raven were racing along the road when Robin spotted tracks leading off the road. Being a Hunter, she noticed little details. ? Behind us Raven.? The black stallion wheeled around and slowed to a trot. Robin looked at the tracks. There was human tracks and another that she didn?t know. Hopping off Raven, Robin inspected the tracks further. She concluded that the human was attacked by an unknown animal. Following them into the forest, Robin came across a small girl with tear marks in her back. Robin could sense that she was alive, but barely. Robin picked the child up gently and waled back to Raven. [I]What?s this? A child?[/I] the stallion asked. ? Yes. She?s alive, but barely. I cannot see a child die if my help could be used. You know that Raven.? [I]I don?t like having any other person riding me but you![/I] ? Once is all I ask.? Arawn came up to Raven and Robin. [B]Mistress, beyond the forest is a village that has been flattened.

[B]Name[/B]: Ziarre Orphen [B]Age[/B]: 25 [B]Sex[/B]: Female [B]Relm[/B]: Princess Sorceress - Realm of Sorcerers [B]Weapon[/B]: A bow and arrows and a blackwood staff [B]Appearance[/B]: See attachment - looks like a 25 yr old [B]Personality[/B]: Ziarre is wild and untamed, like the fire medallion she wears. Fiery, unpredictable and savy, Ziarre is not the stereotypical wise old sorcerer. From one look at her, most people believe she is childish and immature. But when battle rolls around, she is sharp, cunning and powerful, summoning her fire magic to destroy her enemies. [B]Weakness[/B]: Water - almost drown when small [B]Bio[/B]: Ziarre grew up as normally as a sorceress could. Her father was the king of the Sorcerer realm and ruled wisely. Her mother was one of the king's many wives. When Ziarre was born, the torches in the room she was born in flared and almost burnt the palace down. Seeing this, the king favoured her and trained her himself. Under his guidance, Ziarre became one of the most powerful sorcerers in their realm. She was only second to the king. Once she turned fifteen, Ziarre was sent to the Wizard's Keep behind the palace. In this Keep was the history of the Sorcerer Realm and all the others. Records had been kept for the last 5000 years. Under the instruction of her father, Ziarre read the entire library in the Keep (which was a kilometre long, 200 metres high and 500 metres wide). With this, she gained a vast knowledge of all the realms and their customs. [B]Magic[/B]: Fire Phoenix: Summons flame that is shaped like a phoenix and charges the enemy. Engulfs them in flames. [B]Medallion[/B]: Fire

Hey Heero, could u save the fire medallion fore me plz? Its midnight here and I'm about to fall asleep on my keyboard. SO thanks.

[COLOR=RoyalBlue]Sakura watched as the others used much of their life force to do, what they thought, was some damage to Orion. However, this was not the case. Orion's powerful black wings spread from his back further as he powered up. This was it......finally.....the end. Sakura smiled knowingly to herself. " Time to end this............" she whispered. She knew what she had to do.....what they - the Council Angels - had to do. Hovering in mid air beside Kitty, she looked at her. " Kitty, the only way for us to defeat Orion is to........well......sacrifice ourselves. I know its difficult to understand.....but trust me on this. We have to do it.....for everyone and the world." Sakura then flew over to Takahiro. He wa panting from using so much energy before. " Takahiro........" Sakura started. " Don't tell me Sakura.....I know already........." he replied, panting. Sakura looked down. She could feel Orion's power grow. Then, she looked at Asaku and Saio. They nodded too. All agreed on what they had to do. " One last time....." Sakura sighed, holding her gem firmly. The Council Angels lined up, facing Orion who was still powering up. Holding out their gems in front of them, all started channelling their life force into the power of the gems. All of their wings started turning grey. Sakura looked at Takahiro and smiled. " See you on the other side........my Takahiro........" With a blinding flash of light, the five angels unleashed their awesome ultimate power onto Orion. The five white beams of power sooon engulfed Orion and consumed him, banishing him to the dark depths of Heaven's dungeons. White soon consumed the Council Angels' vision. _________________________________________________ Sakura awoke to the sound of voices around her. She couldn't make out what they were saying but she knew they were familiar. Opening her eyes, the figures of Takahiro and Lillyana soon came into focus. " Takahiro?" Sakura whispered. Hearing this, Takahiro bent down to her. " Sakura, welcome back," he said, smiling at her. Sakura sat up. Then did she realise she was in her bed in Heaven and in her adult form. She looked at Takahiro. He was in his adult form too, and a might fine one at that. " But what happened? We didn't die?" Sakura asked. " No my child," Lillyana started, " Angels cannot die, even if it by their own will. We just reform into a new angel and begin the life cycle again. However, that is not true for Council Angels. You six, including Aida, will now live until a new council will be decided. That will be in another millennium. Enjoy what you have while you can my children. Orion is gone forever. There is no threat to Heaven or the Earth anymore."[/COLOR]

Ok everyone! I'm starting the RPG tonight. Also check out the underground thread as soon as I find my book. I'll lose my head if it wasn't screwed on!! :D And I'm sorry Sonata. But the place of the Spirit Sphinx has been taken.

"As for you Hunter. You have shown great skill in battle, but you are far tioo weak to be of a threat. Return to your Night, and tell him that I want to speak with him face to face. Midnight, at the ruins of Raglad." A jet of flame shot towards him, but he knocked it aside. It took him two steps to grip Ziarre's throat. "Dont tempt me half breed. I would kill you, but your blood is not necessary here." He threw her aside, then turned to Phoenix's limp form. He slung him over his shoulder before leaping into the air. "Midnight Hunter. Or else your friend here dies! Hahaha!" [COLOR=DarkOrange]Ziarre watched in horror as Boru took off with Phoenix. She just stood there in shock, not knowing what to do. Boru had talked to her as if she was nothing, an insignificant pest that could be squashed at any moment. At this moment, her anger took over. Alone and infuriated, Ziarre let loose all the power within her. A huge explosion blasted the warehouse apart. A fire tornado reached into the sky, causing the temperature of the whole city to increase dramatically. Enough was enough! The heat increased Ziarre's power as she walked from the flames, her trenchcoast flying out from behind her. Her eyes were fire red - signalling her demon self had taken over. She started walking towards Sierra Manor - to Night where she would deliver the message. __________________________________________________ Ziarre approached the manor. She looked back at the huge plume of smoke she had caused. Fire was her passion and it gave her comfort when her other love did not. Walking up to manor, Rebecca strolled out. " Where have you been? Master Night has been waiting for your return?" Rebecca scolded the pyro. " Did Zet and Rath arrive?" Ziarre replied fierly. " Yes. Master Night has seen to her and Selino is looking after her now. Rath is with Night now." " Good. Now, get out of my way," Ziarre snarled as she shoved past Rebecca. Rebecca fell to the ground but hurriedly got back up and followed a wrathful Ziarre. As soon as Ziarre come to Night's door, she could hear his voice. " Where is Ziarre? If she stays out any longer, I will have to severely punish her." This just fueled the fire. Ziarre slammed the door open. " Night. I have a message for you," she said firmly. Night swished around to see Ziarre with Rebecca behind her. " Hunter, where the hell have you been?" Night growled, furious. " I've been doing what you should be doing! Hunting!" Ziarre spat back. " Ziarre, I'm warning you," Night snarled again. Shirow had his hackles raised. Rath snarled at Shirow. " Here is the message I have to give you Night! A Malacha'ai has Phoenix! And the demon wants to speak to you personally at the ruins of Raglad at mindnight. Happy now!?" Ziarre yelled at him. Night could see she was in a furious state. He calmed himself down. He knew she hated leaving a Hunter behind, even worse when they got captured by the enemy and it was her fault. " Midnight at the ruins of Raglad...." Night mumbled. " Shall we accompany you Master Night?" Rebecca asked. " No. But you will however be backup....Ziarre...." Night looked up to see she was gone. Rath too. " The girl is nothing but trouble...." Rebecca sneered. Night stared at Rebecca. " Come...lets go to this meeting...." OOC: I hope this is ok SilverCyclone [/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]The Sailor Scouts walked to Arora's place. When they arrived, they saw a beautiful Shinto tower with gardens surrounding it. Arora sighed. " Home..." They walked up the marble stairs and into the tower. Arora led the group up to the second level, the normal living area, and then to the third, Arora's room. Ra and Brighid jumped from two of the Sailor Scouts' shoulder and landed on Arora's bed. " Make yourselves at home," Arora said, smiling at the group. Chloe sat down heavily on the floor. Azura, Zet and Sarah sat on Arora's bed, careful not to squash the cats. Ailiyah sat on Arora's desk and Jipin sat on the chair. Arora sat next to Chloe. " So, Ra, since you know what this is all about, can you tell us?" Chloe said, breaking the silence. Ra hopped off the bed and sat in the middle of the ring. " As you want Saturn." Chloe glared. Ra took no notice of it. " As you all know, the Sailor Scouts were a group of girls years back. They defeated the Negaverse, but, unknown to them, a far more ancient, and powerful, force lay right underneath their feat. Do you remember the earthquake a couple of days back?" The girls nodded. " Well, this earthquake broke the strong magical prison that held your enemy, Apophis, and his partner, Anat. These two were the cause of chaos in the ancient world. Osiris and Atum, the king gods, decided to seal these two in a magical prison on the other side of the world. That just happened to be Japan. Since they are now free, they want to keep wreaking havoc over Japan. Once they've finished with Japan, they will continue onto the world...." " So what was the dark hole they disappeared into when we fought them?" Zet interrupted abruptly. " That is the Other Realm. A place of evil. It is where Apophis and Anat live," Ra replied. " How are we supposed to defeat them?" Ailiyah piped up. " We don't know. It's ancient magic against modern. This has never happened before," Brighid added. " Great..." Chloe sighed. She was still fuming at how those two got away. " You can't expect us to have all the answers. Some you have to find them for yourselves," Ra said firmly. " What are we supposed to do now?" Sarah asked. " Since its the weekend, why don't you guys stay here?" Arora suggested. The others looked at her. " It will give us a chance to meet each other, test our abilities and see how far we have to go before we can attack them without being whooped." " Good idea Mars. You'll do that," Ra said happily. " We have to ask our parents first," Ailiyah said. ? looked at Chloe, who looked pale. She knew Chloe didn't have parents, or any family at that. No one else noticed as they walked off to call their parents. Chloe and Ailiyah stood. Arora looked over at them. " Are you okay Chloe?" she asked. " Just fine," Chloe replied, putting on a fake smile. " Ok. I'll go and ask my mother that all of us are staying," Arora said. " Sure," Chloe replied. Arora walked out. " Yea right, you're ok," Ailiyah said sarcastically. " It's ok, really...." Chloe replied. " Allright..." Ailiyah shrugged and walked out. Tears fell out of Chloe's eyes. [I] Mum....dad....[/I] A few minutes later and the rest of the Sailor Scouts returned. " So, are you allowed?" Chloe asked them.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Purple]Brielle looked in horror as Ilthazar's head rolled over to her. The expression on it was complete shock. Brielle felt very sick at the sight of it. Valo walked over to her calmly, picked the head up and put it in a bag. He looked at Brielle. Her face was very green. " Are you ok Princess?" Valo asked, his face firm. " Yes. I think I am. So, its finally over. The war. Ilthazar is dead....and you are the new king of Zerveria," Brielle said standing up straight. " Indeed I am." Kai approached them. " Then, when we get back to my palace, you won't mind signing a peace treaty between our two kingdoms?" " Not at all," Valo replied. Kai and Valo hopped onto their respective dragons and took off towards the capital. Brielle looked over to Cyrus and Heero. Heero was just coming around. She rushed over to him. " Heero....Heero....are you okay?" she asked timidly. Scythe joined Cyrus. Heero opened his eyes. " What happened? Brielle?" Heero asked. Brielle just smiled. " Its over......its over my love......." ____________________________________________________ 20 years later, the story of the second war between Celebrynn and Zerveria lives on, in books and songs. Kai became the king of Celebrynn after his coronation was performed. He and Isis watched over Celebrynn dutifully. Celebrynn was peaceful. Isis returned to the Hatchery every summer to lay the next breed of eggs. Soon, dragons were flying throughout the sky, some wild, some tame. Valo became the king of Zerveria. He and Kai got on on good terms and there was never another war between the two kingdoms. Vanilla and Caramel tantalised men further in the years of peace - like they had always done. Especially to the ex-commander, now general, of the army, Nauross. Zeddrick disappeared and only contacted Brielle on his whereabouts. And as for Brielle and Heero, they were partners for life. THE END [/COLOR]

[FONT=Franklin Gothic Medium][COLOR=DarkGreen][CENTER][SIZE=3]ELEMENTAL BEASTS: DEMON INSAVION[/SIZE][/CENTER] Smoke screened the night sky, blocking the moon's silver light. The dull glow of the burning village gave the only light for the young girl to see by as she ran into the dense, dark forest. Behind her, large black dog-like figures flitted from shadow to shadow. Pushing through a prickly bush, the young girl tripped over a large stone. Hitting the ground, she could feel heavy panting at her back. The disgusting smell of rotting flesh wafted under her nose. Quickly, she stood up and frantically stumbled her way towards a well travelled road that led to the seaside capital of Mir - Sargon. Suddenly, she was tackled by a large animal. Her screams echoed through the still night, until, finally, they died away. Silence hung in the night air like death. A dark feminine figure stood among the burning remains of the village her 'pets' had just ravaged. A wicked smile crossed her flawless face. Her black eyes glittered with delight at the sight of such devastation and destruction. Soon, the large black dog-like figures swarmed around her, awaiting a new command to they could reap their hell once again. " To the next village my loyal pets..." she hissed. A roudy vicious roar of delight split the night air - a roar that would strike fear into the hearts of the bravest of warriors.[/COLOR] [COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]Yes, another RPG by amgoddess.

Her father was a master archer and won many tournaments throughout the kingdom of Mir. He taught all his children how to use a bow and how to hit the bullseye every time. The most deadly and skilled bow in his collection was Hades - a bow made from blackwood from the darkest part of Marduk Forest. It was named after the god of the underworld. However, one day in the middle of spring, Robin was out in the forest, practising her bow technique. She was about 10. When she arrived home, she found her family being slaughtered by a ruthless gang of marauders. With hate in her heart, Robin called forth Arawn, the HellHound of Death. Along with Hades, both Robin and Arawn slaughtered the murderers. She buried her family properly, packed her things and never returned to that cursed spot again. From age of 10 to her 22nd birthday, Robin wandered around Mir, acquiring knowledge and skills from Elves, Dwarfs, Lizard-people and Humans alike. The Elves taught her to master Hades and gave her many elven clothes to wear. The head of the Elves, Elyron, became Robin's surrogate father. The Lizard-people helped her to master Awarn, who was unruly and untrained at first. The Dwarves gave her Set, a revolutionary dagger made from a silver alloy that was much lighter than any other metal and twice as strong. It was named after the god of chaos. Lastly, the Humans taught her to be part of civilisation and to have the ability to interact with others. Element: Death Elemental Partner: Arawn the HellHound Weapons: 1.Hades - bow 2.Set - dagger (see history for explanation) Skills: 1. Archery 2. Horseback Riding 3. Stealth Spells: 1.
