[rp] Mortal 11/11

YES FIXED FINALLY! (i haven't been able to do homework bcs of this shit xD)

Psssssssssssssst.

Jack whirls around, just as smoke explodes all around Jack, covering Lucian, Silrait and Caiden. There are neighing of horses, and sounds of hooves running away from Jack, with the Aurallian's sudden cries.

What's happening? Jack asks Xiudar, drawing his Nightbringers. Xiudar suddenly shouts, Behind you!

A blast of shadow magic shoots at Jack, which he cuts down and absorbs. A figure clad completely in black robes, holding an enormous scythe, jumps out from the smoke, weapon ready for a swing.

 

Akri shrugs. "None knows except those who seat upon the throne. The gem was formed using magic - back when dwarves still had the power of the earth in their hands. The battle with the goblins have slowly weakened us, and the power was lost, only used by extremely old dwarves."

Akri leads Vyrdiin and Uadlokii towards another gate at the other side of Kaz Drum. Mithrina Ilbir glints behind them as they pass the gate into another corridor, this one well lit with many torches and glowing crystals. The ceiling is round and carved from stone to form a pattern, and on the walls are statues of huge dwarves holding massive weapons. There seems to be more dwarves as they approach, some wearing significantly wearing different clothes than others. They pass a group of hairy dwarves wearing fur coats and massive stone axes and short bows on their backs, and another group wearing well-crafted helms and fancy robes.

"These are the twelve dwarven clans - one leading clan who offers the king, and eleven supporting clans. They so different works in the dwarven realm to support the community and help the war. Our King is a great ruler - he managed to unite the twelve clans from amidst a civil war. With the clans united, we were able to take back many lands from those accursed goblins."

They reach an open area with a tall ceiling and two other corridors connecting to it. Many dwarves are there, in front of an open gate rimmed with gold and jewels, carving out dwarves cutting down goblins and to the two's discomfort, Morgalums and spirit demons. The dwarves eye Vyrdiin and Uadlokii, some with suspicion and some with curiosity.

Six dwarves, all dressed in a full golden armour with rams' horns producing from the sides of their helms. Their faces are covered by their helms, and they stand in a straight line in front of the gate, holding massive war hammers.

"Hail, Chief Akri!" One of the guards shouts. Akri lifts his fist to his mouth, then into the air. "I come to see the King, sent by General Bekran." The dwarf says.

"And who are your companions, Chief?" The dwarf asks.

 

"This is the sewers system. One of our secret entrances to our bases are here." Ember says.

They tread along the sewers carefully, careful not to slip. As they turn a few corners, they see torches lighting a section of the wall. Ember leads Tisaun there, then pulls the iron fence up. He lets Tisaun in, then pushes it down and locking it with a clink.

They are now in a rather clean corridor, with a floor with cobbled granite. They walk down the path, ending up in a winding staircase that leads up. Ember nods and climbs it, with Tisaun following.

They push open a trapdoor and ends up in a space, surrounded by stone walls. Ember goes out, then pulls Tisaun up.

"Look who it is. Ember." A man says behind them. A large man, folding his arms, stand behind the trapdoor. A girl with black hair tied in a ponytail stands behind the man, her hands behind her.

Ember sighs. The man walks up to Tisaun. Tisaun was tall, but the man was about half a head taller.

"Who in the world are you?" The man asks.

________________________________

The other group led by another elf from the War of the Eye, named Jhaan, had joined their group. Now they were swiftly riding through the woods. The horses were raised in the trees - they were nimble and could run through trees without colliding. They were more like deer than horses.

"First wave of monsters, ahead!" An elf at the front of the group shouts. There are lesser spirits in forms of colourful lights circling around the elf. "We are swiftly arriving - twenty seconds!"

"Get your weapons ready!" Jhaan shouts. Firnen turns to Sena. "We're going in. Let us see what you are capable of!"

"Five... four... three..." The spirit using elf counts. There are smoke and sounds of roaring and screeching up from ahead.

"Two.... one!" At once the elves leave the trees into a large clearing, where over a hundred monsters, varying in size, shape and energy, hack at the trees. The monsters give cries of shock as the elves charge into the crowd, their weapons flashing as they cut through the monsters. Suddenly from the trees at the back, dark crouching shapes raise their short bows and shoot at the elves. The spiritualists summon their spirits, deflecting the arrows with gushes of wind and slashes of long vines from the ground. The archers now shoot at the archer monsters, taking down more than half of them in one wave.

Sena jabs her staff into one of the monsters - a grey creature with two bulging arms that lets it crawl around, and a relatively slime-like body with black spikes from its back. Its eyes are wide and black. It opens its mouth and bites into the wand. It doesn't break, but the monster pulls back, flinging Sena from Friedal.

The horse neighs. Sena waves her hand, and the horse runs away. Sena knew that the horse will come back once the battle was over and she called for her.

The slimy monster screeches and spits the tip of the staff. The tip is slimy but does not seem damaged.

 

You're an ice mage, right? Lemme explain what kind of magic and spells you can use.
First, you can have a maximum of one hundred mana. Different spells take different amounts of mana. (Summoning spells like the one from before needs a tremendous amount of mana, so they need multiple magicians working on it. Magicians have some 'relics' which are like mana stores, and they can use mana from those relics.)

Mana replenishes over time, but it regenerates too slow in combat. (ignore the science here) Mana regenerates faster while the magician is locked in a physical fight. Think it this way - during anaerobic respiration, your mana regenerates faster and during aerobic, significantly slower.

Basic spells
Blast (20 Mana) - shoots a bolt of energy at the opponent. Damage is relatively low but creates a big explosion which can blind or faze the enemy for a while.
Heal (60 Mana) - heals your basic wounds. The caster must be still to do this. Can use on other people.
Pain (40 Mana) - erases the caster's pain for a short while. It does not get healed, but they will be able to move for a while without pain.
Smoke (30 Mana) - creates a wall of smoke.
Telekinesis (Depends on object size) - telekinesis. The bigger the size is, the more mana it takes.
Teleport (100 Mana) - teleport you to anywhere within your sight. This will drain you, and you won't be able to cast it repeatedly without using relics.
Shield (40 Mana) - Magical shield. Can be added onto each other. (each one shield costs 50)

Your spells
Ice Blast (30 Mana) - Sends a blast of ice shards that freezes a certain area upon contact. Good amount of damage.
Shards Rain (70 Mana) - sends ice shards down upon the opponents. Good area damage
Freeze (20 Mana) - freezes something until it breaks. Can put out fire to some degree.
Pierce (60 Mana) - High damage attack. Shoots a giant ice crystal at the opponent.

Currently, you have 60 Mana. You recharged it from your relic necklace. (you used 40 on shield)

The monster charges into the three shields combined. Two shatter at the impact, but that slowed the monster down - the last shield knocks the demon back.

The Feldurims run to the side as the demon shakes his head and charges again.

(hey other magic using characters Asakeryu, Mike, Vyrdiin, Uadlokii do you want this system as well?)

 

The wind dies down around Rumilius. The King points his staff at Pride. Behind him unfurls two black crow wings. A blast of wind shoots at Pride. The Sin swipes his hand, making a purple blast hit the wind. The wind breaks away, but the force still knocks Pride back a few meters. He looks surprised, then grins. "Aha. You're strong."

Rumilius spins his staff then gets into a fighting stance. He grins. Under his right eye, a black rune appears.

"What the...?" Rathius mutters.

"A Karasu Tengu." Asakeryu mutters. "Not only a Griffin, but he has a contract with a Tengu?"

Remilia walks next to Rumilius. "Lend me the power." The Princess says, lifting her sword. Rumilius nods and touches the hilt of the sword. The gem on the hilt glows bright green.

Together they face Pride. He laughs gleefully. Asakeryu suddenly appears behind Pride, and shoots a blast at the back of his neck. The Sin swipes his hand, and a purple explosion appears from between him and Asakeryu. He is distracted.


Cries from the back. Sloth has a chain in his hand, which he swings at Captain Terric. It curls around his neck. Sloth swings the chain, throwing Terric into Elabell.

Terric gasps. There seems to be a barrier of wind around his neck preventing the chain from choking him. Sloth uses Terric to hit Draeus and Rouland, then throws a knife from a fallen soldier towards Elabell. Alina swings her hand, and the dagger is sent clattering away.

Tibaut launches himself at Sloth. The Sin lifts his hand, and the captain slows down mid-air. Dreueus swings his one-handed sword from the back, but is kicked. Swiftly, Alina throws her chakram at the chains, breaking it. Terric rolls away and picks up his staff.

The six captains, panting, surrounds Sloth.

Sloth yawns and stretches. "I grow impatient." He says, a bored tone in his voice. With cries, the six captains all attack at once.

________________________________

Kaya's chain wraps around one of Sylphaxaura's scythes, then pulls it, exposing the arm part. Fen'ris jumps into the air, and using his daggers, cuts down.

Sylphaxaura screams in pain. A jolt goes up Fen'ris's arms. A chipped piece of Sylphaxaura's body shell falls to the ground, along with black, blood-like liquid.

Mike slashes down onto the monster's wound. Lightning pours into the monster's body, making her jolt up and scream again. Luratos, back with Jenna as wings on his back, leaps down onto the wound, and swings down his twin swords, Mystiga.

THUNK. The scythe drops to the ground. Sylphaxaura screams. The monster whirls around, swinging her other scythes, but they are all blocked by the Aurallians. The two Feldurims, fully regenerated with mana from their relics, summon blasts into Sylphaxaura's face, then shields around her tail to stop the poison that came out.
Quickly Nardel, Trianna, Kendel, Mylith, Airin and Cylessa circles Sylphaxaura with crystals. Luratos lifts his green pendant, one he received from Lyndarl, and shouts, "Letta!"

The shield starts to activate. Fast as an arrow, Sylphaxaura plants one of her scythes outside the barrier. The shield activates, covering everywhere except above the scythe. "Damn it!" Luratos shouts. "Attack that scythe!"

 

Fen'ris charges towards the scythe to attempt to cut it at its root. Or if the root is unreachable, to cut it in half.

 

I run to get out of the way, and cast Freeze on the demon

"We need to hold the tower! Shield yourselves and stay close to it!"

 

Your blade bounces off the black blade. Shadow starts to roll out of the gap, spreading outwards. Fen'ris meets eyes with Sylphaxaura. Her eyes are glowing red.

 

"S0meone's pissed." Fen'ris says, gritting his teeth and attacking the scythe again.

 

The demon escapes Freeze. (57 Mana now)

The demon roars and starts running towards a Feldurim, and swings his arm. The shield, still halfway summoned, crashes and the magician is sent into the air and lands unnaturally onto the ground. The demon rears back, then releases a volley of fire towards four Feldurims. Two are consumed in the inferno.

Smoke rising. Ice shards everywhere. Falling tower. The woman's body.

"Hey, come on!" A voice shouts, snapping Abro out of his shock. It's the Feldurim from before - the young man. "We gotta help them, hurry!"

________________________________

Scar comes running to Fen'ris.

Scar! You're alright! Basil shouts. Scar smiles upon hearing Basil.

"Bind me, Fen'ris. We'll dig her scythe out." Scar says.

 

Fen'ris binds Scar, and when that's done, he charges Sylphaxaura to dig the scythe out.

 

I start to be apprehensive , Ember words ecoing in my head "Dont trust anyone" I try to look as calm as i possibly can , then i look to Ember looking for advice "Uuuuh ... Hello my name is ... Siegfried ! Ye thats me , Siegfried ." I do a panicked smile with an expression of "HELP ME HERE" to Ember , then continue "I am from a far , far away island in the ocean . I came here to help against some of the demons from Varogunn." I start to sweat "I hope he believes it" I try to change subject after presenting 'myself' " Sooooooo you are the one leading this place?"

 

"Do you think they can handle this?" I say to Asakeryu. "I was thinking of helping Kludrin outside."

 

"Uadlokii. A spirit demon." I look to the gate. "I'm guessing those guys are assholes." I say while looking at the slain spirit demons.

 

"And I am Vyrdiin, a shadow spirit... alas, now confined to this material world..."

 

@Amun_Ra how long till Zeisha arrives?

 

I nod my head and cast shield while running towards the other Feldurim.

"We need to keep them safe! Hold it off, I can help them to safety."

 

"Quite a fast one, are you not?" I say to him. "But which is stronger: brains or brawn?"

I'll try to keep his attention with little slashes with my sword. I'm not focusing on attack, but on defense, as in blocking and dodging. My goal is to keep his attention so that he's vulnerable to the Tengu.

 

did ya forget me :(

 

omg so sorry!

At the root of the branch is a large hole (tiny compared to the bark). Plants and vines decorate the wood around the hole.

"Let's go." Lynn walks towards the entrance, then enters it. Ventus, after a pause, follows.

Ba-thump. Ba-thump. Ba-thump.

A dull sound, vibrating the ground, echoes in the air. Ventus blinks, not able to see anything in the darkness. Soon enough, his vision adjusts.

There is an open space all around Ventus. The entire tree - at least, some section it - was hollow. There are tiny spots of light coming from various places on the inside walls - different holes like the one Ventus and Lynn had used, perhaps.

At the top, a few hundred meters up, was a gigantic orange, glowing sphere, with tree branches holding it in the air. The heartbeat-like sound was coming from the orange sphere.

________________________________

The man doesn't even blink.

"Bullshit." The man says then. Tisaun starts to say something, but the ponytail girl lifts her arm up. It starts to turn brown in colour, and the texture rougher. The arm starts to glow longer, growing into a whip-like thing.

Before Tisaun can react, the girl swings her arm, which shoots at Tisaun, moving on its own. It wraps around Tisaun's left wrist, then jerks it towards the ground. Pain shoots up Tisaun's arm, and he drops to the ground. The man grabs the back of Tisaun's clothes and lifts him up.
