Void Rift (rp) - Intermission

"I must admit, rocky Golems don't make the most...intelligent pets," I say, "Maybe...If I could just..."

I lift a hand and a dark aura begins to form around the Golem, as does my hand. As the Golem becomes hard to see, it begins to writhe and spasm.

"Come...on!" I struggle to say, focusing on the Golem.

Suddenly, the Golem lets out a loud, inhuman, blood-curdling scream.

"OK OK OK How about we don't do that!" I say hastily, lowering my hand.

As the aura dissipates, the Golem seems to be normal. "Protect Ihra." It says with a little more clarity in it's voice.

He loves fighting and tries to push himself to his limits, this made him to develop a strategic mind which allows him to counter some of his opponent's attacks.
Relative location of settlement: In the peaceful parts of the Rift

 

I walk away from the shrine and towards the town.

 

Is it too late to apply?

 

No, it won't be too late to apply. Dravern got in and he applied yesterday. And I don't think Exvhius is adding a limit to characters, though he might at some point.
Btw, if you apply, I would recommend that you should at least read the entire Void Rift Report thread, because that explains quite a few things going on. Well actually, at least the maps. There are 3 maps on the main post and two maps I made later on in about pages 4 and 5.

 

Ihra shivers.
"I'm liking this less and less as time goes on... One more antic and I'm calling Rineth."
"Ihra, please! Give him more of a chance!"
She mumbles, glaring at me.
"It's still creeping me out. I never told it my name."
"AJ JUST... Whatever. Just... Ugh."

Rejected...
It's mostly okay, but the description is a bit bleak and the relative location doesn't make sense.
I'd recommend talking with the gods (who know the map better than I do) to refine that part of your app.

Not really. It's still open, but I'd like to avoid arguments if possible.
This is a story based rpg, I'd like to keep the focus on the story.
(This isn't meant against you specifically, rather to everyone in the rp)

As you approach, the town is pretty small. There's maybe a couple hundred people, you estimate.
Some people glance at you, but most of them keep on with what they're doing.

A few children stop playing a game of monkey-in-the-middle and walk over to you.
"Hi, mister!" One of them opens.
"We haven't seen you before. Did you come from the farms?"

The third watches from a short distance, looking at you nervously.

This.
It's a bit messy, though. I'm hoping to reorganize it a bit soon.

 

"Well, if golemic formalities are out of the way, we have some more protective business to attend to," I say, "As far as I can see, those 3 draconians need to become the hunted instead of the hunters."

I shiver for a moment.

"I..know a way of locating them, though it's rather...how shall I say, experimental?" I say, trying not to sound nervous.

I place my two gauntlets on my head, focusing energy into them. They begin to glow green, and my eyes tint green once more.

I'm put into a trance like state, staring at seemingly nothing, my red-green eyes glowing intensely. A green aura begins to emanate off of the party.

I focus more, staring at an unseen entity. Suddenly, something akin to green electricity begins to crackle from the gauntlets and around my head.

"Must...focus..." I murmur.

As the electricity grows more frequent, I start to struggle. Suddenly, an expression of fear flashes across my face just before I'm thrown back by a large shock of electricity.

I fall to the ground, completely unconscious. The aura fades from the party and my eyes return to normal.

 

"Four... Uh... What."

You feel yourself come back to your senses, as if by force.
"Ihra... Weren't you just..."
"That's now what I'm supposed to do. Mother said I heal people, not fight on the front lines. But I do want Rineth now, the golem stuff is still creepy."
"I swear, I will never understand you..."

 

The forceful revival jumps me to my senses.

I unsheathe Shadow Katana and look around frantically.

"Wh-what just happened?"

 

"Ihra happened."
"You stopped being creepy, so I figured something was wrong."

The crystal on her staff turns dark.
"Can I have Rineth with me now?"
"Oh god..."

 

"I think you should know that that crystal on her staff cree-" I stop suddenly.

My eyes begin to glow an intense red, and I glare at Ihra; readying Shadow Katana in a battle stance.

 

"No, I did not come from the farms. I... came from far away."

 

Ihra looks at you terrified, stepping back.
"R-rineth... Help me..."
"He's nervous about your staff. He doesn't know that the crystal is-"

A pillar of darkness surrounds Ihra. It expands, and I step back.
"IHRA, YOU ALREADY HAVE CARETAKERS HERE!!!"

The pillar fades, and Ihra sits on a pure black dragon that's easily five times her size.
"But Rineth did a good job."
"Let the sleeping lie."
"Vesius... Let her be. Give her some slack..."
"See?! He's okay."
"Ehhh..."

________________________________

They look at each other in shock.
"He's an outsider."
"That's so cool! What's the rest of the world like, mister?!"

The third runs inside a house.

A few of the adults near you stop outside and turn to you.

 

I suddenly charge at Ihra, screaming a warcry akin to "RRRAAAAGGGHHH! DIEEEEEE!"

The Golem makes a grab for Ihra.

 

With a flick of the dragon's wing, they disappear.
"Seriously? We're doing this again?" I groan, stepping back.

 

"Very different to this place. Some places are very barren and desolate, others are wonderful and seemingly impossible. I've been to most of them, if not all of them."

 

I quickly slice at an unseen enemy behind where Ihra was a few moments ago. Blood spurts from an unseen neck as I catch a sword in midair, only flickering into existence a few moments ago.

"Thank...god...she disappeared...that could've been...terrible..." I say through breaths, "There was some kind of invisible monster planning to ambush her, like ones I encountered earlier. We should really get moving."

 

The children's eyes glow with interest. A woman peeks out of the house the third child ran into, looking at the pair with annoyed eyes. She walks towards them and you.
"James, Richard? Come on, do you remember what Aria said?"
"Let you meet strangers first... Sorry mom!"
"It's okay, you two. I suppose my boys already asked you this, but I've never seen you around here before. Are you the one Aria spoke of that came from outside the Barrier? If so, what's your home like?"

"We went nowhere." The dragon's voice echoes.

The two phase back where they were before the attack.
"Forgive me, Rineth. I shouldn't have distracted you."
"All is well."

His eyes seem to have a faint, dark glow.
"Who is this other being of darkness?"

 

I lift my hand up, and a large, green, vine-like hand comes out of the ground and lifts me up to the dragons level.

After glaring at the dragon for a moment, I bow and say "The name is Aj, it is a pleasure to make the acquaintance of a being such as yourself."

Below, the Golem is panicking, "PROTECT IHRA!!!"

 

"Same... It's been a while since I've been called by Ihra.

May I ask what the golem's deal is?" Rineth stares at the golem awkwardly.
