Sage danced around the huge dragon, slashing here, stabbing (to no avail) there. He was doing alright when he realized the town was being destroyed.
"This is bad!" he yelled as he motioned to the right of himself. A clearing sat right outside the town and Sage flew infront of the monster, shooting balls of wind into its eyes.
"C'mon ugly!~" he sang out, flying backwards until he knew they were out of the town. He landed and heard a huge rumbling from behind. Was there another one coming?
"Oh S***!!!!" he yelled out as three boulders came crashing down from the sealed cave. No doubt thanks to the monsters. He sidestepped one as it rolled on by, taking out about five buildings in town. The second had came right at him, and he flew up a bit, easily avoiding that one. He turned back to see it ram into the dragonoide and knock it over.
"You stupid monster!!" he laughed, not knowing there was a third, smaller boulder coming straight for him. It hit a slope and was shot into the air. Sage turned around just as it hit him and a loud thunk and a gasp of air could be heard as he was sent downward. He landed in a huge muddy area and just lied there. He had a broken arm most likely, from the way the rock hit. He looked up and saw the dragon glaring right at him.
"Ughhhhh.......F***" he said, just letting his body fall in the mud. He had only been fighting a bit but he was completly spent. It was all up to Neko, Razz, and Delita.\n\n
The dragon had just about been paralyzed, only flinching at Razz's and Delita's attacks. Delita kept stabbing with some arrows and Razz pounded with a hammer and fist. Sage crawled back and lean against the crates Razz had fallen onto earlier and cast some healing spells.
Eventually the dragon cracked from all the hits and fell into the dirt road.
Delita: Thanks for the Ice, Sage! You helped out a lot.
Razz: Yeah! We beat it!
Delita: And now i have to beat you for ruining my book!
Razz and Delita brawled on the ground with hand-to-hand combat and both just exhausted each other out and ended up not talking to each other for the rest of the day.
When all woke up from sleep, it was about first light the next day.
Sage: What do we do now? We still have that cave to take care of.
Neko watched as Sage fell to the puddle of thick mud.Cautiously she ran over and aided him back to three large crates which were out of site and way of the beast.She left him,sure that he would be safe there for the time being. As Neko turned and looked around at the village,half destroyed,he bit her lip knowing that the Elder's would not be very proud of the destruction caused.For now,she would forget about the elders and ran over to Delita and Razz. After a time of battling,the beast became exausted and collapsed to the ground,blood dripped from all the wounds that Sage,Razz and Delita had left all over it's scaley hide. Sunset was now upon them,and villagers left their houses observing the damage done to their houses.They began to talk to one another,knowing who had caused the damage.Neko sighed and walked over to Sage knowing that they were all in quite a bit of trouble.Yet,to her suprise,they began to applaud.Neko stood shocked and quite relieved.The villagers were grateful that the beast was destroyed,and with the money they make working on
Delita: I don't know what I'm going to do... I'm just a retired keeper and I don't know where any of the bracelets are. I guess I will just a get another copy of my ruined book..
Delita exchanged a firey look with Razz and went back to talking.
Delita: ..and go back to my home. It is proabably destroyed, but I can rebuild it.
Razz: (I guess we can all trust him now..) But wait! You have great fighting skills. Why don't you ome with us to find these bracelets. We will have a better chance with more numbers eh?
Sage: Yeah. You and Razz sure saved my hide back there.. although I could have taken it on all by myself! Hah!
Delita was silent for a moment.
Delita: Well, I guess I DO need to save Sage every time we get in a battle...
Sage: What did you say!?
Sage tried to get up from the bed but flew back down into the mattress in pain. Delita and Razz snickered.
Razz: So that's it huh? Welcome to the party, Delita.
Neko: We had better resupply. We won't stand a chance in the wilderness without and potions and cures.
"Well,thank you anyways.You have done more than enough for us already and we're grateful for that much."Neko said as she bowed.
After everyone had left the council of elders,they stopped upon the steps.Neko plopped down onto one of the steps and rested her chin in the palm of her hand.She began to think of some way of transportation to Avrik.Closing her eyes,she gave a sigh and began to brainstorm for a possible good idea.
Avrik,a great trading town mostly famous because of that.It was a tropical place,but the people there were just as ordinary as the people here.The docks were better built,more sturdy and able to dock more cargo ships than the one here since they traded more often there than here.Neko knew a bit about it,either through books or just young sailors willing to boast a bit. They told of how pearly white the beaches were and children often played there,building sand castles or catching sand crabs,but Neko didn't normally listen for too long since the young sailors would talk about the flawless women there.
"..ship..ship..docks....hey.."She said under her breath as she looked up at her companions.She grabbed onto the pearl railing and helped herself up. "At the Docks..maybe there's a cargo ship readying to leave to Avrik,to trade supplies.Maybe we could exchange helping them load cargo for a ride over there.."She said to everyone. "Well..it's the best i could think of at least"
(OoC: Sorry i'm leaving right now so didn't have too much time to post something good))
Sage nodded in aggrement, wincing at the occuring pain in his back. Why was he the only one to get torn up in battle?
No time to be a little wuss about it.......we have work to do! he looked out towards the docks. Miraculously, they had survived the battle with the fierce dragonoide. They stood upright in the water, a good 20 feet above the glistening waves. It was early morning, so they most likely had alot of work to give. He began to walk with the rest of the group, as they made their way towards the docks.
They had arrived at the docks and immedatly spotted a ship that could use some help packing up. Sage hastily walked over and began talking with the lead foreman, and soon found work for him and the others.
"Great news you guys! All we have to do is move those crates onto the ship and we have it made!" he said pointing over to a very small pile of crates. They got to work and were done very quickly. Razz gave Sage an awkward look.
"You sure thats all?" Razz asked him, eyeing him cautiously. Sage grinned and waved his hand in the air.
"Not really, but its nothing big. I'll tell ya later!" he said as they boarded. Soon they were in the middle of the ocean, sailing gently on the seas calming waves. Sage was watching the horizion, waiting for land to come into view. Suddenly a scream was heard from the back of the ship.
"Pirates!!!!" A young voice wailed as Sage and the others rushed to the back of the ship. Razz shrugged it off.
"Not our problem...." he said turning back around. Sage jerked him by the shoulder.
"Actually, my friend, I bought our way on saying we will protect the ship. It goes down, we go down. But since I made the deal, I'll fight alone if I must..." he backfliped and spun 180 degrees, diving down inbetween the ships. Right before he hit the water he pulled upwards, suddenly coming into a pirate's line of vision. He spun and knocked one out, then made his way along the ship, taking out a few here and there. He knew there were alot more below deck. So he needed to sink the ship rather than fight.
((Sorry so lame, my meds are kicking in... >.<))\n\n
Sage a bashed the rest of the pirates into submission and they went fleeing.
Sage: Hah! Scum eating lowlifes!
Razz: Good show, Sage.
Delita: Yes.
Shipmaster: Another night and we are in Avrik, fellas.
Razz and Sage went drinking some ale in the back cabin. Neko sat out in the starboard side of the deck, staring at the stars.
Delita: Boo!
Neko: !! You scared me, Delita! Don't do that again.
Delita: Hahaha I couldn't resist! But sorry anyway. So what are you looking at?
Neko: Oh nothing, just the sky.
Delita: Yeah, it's beautiful. Oh hey, I have something for ya, Neko.
Neko looked at Delita questioningly. Delita reached in his pouch and took out a red bottled potion.
Neko: I can't take this..
Delita: Just take it! You have more use for it than me. Besides, your life is worth more than mine.
Neko: You can't say that!!
Delita: Just take it.
Delita walked off leaving Neko angry, and in disposition.
Neko: (Why am I worth more than him in his mind? I don't understand...)
Delita walked into the cabin and saw Razz and Sage drunk out of their heads.
Razz: Hey -hick- Deliter -hick-...
Razz passed out on the floor.
Delita: Hahaha! He is going to sleep well tonight. I can tell.
Sage: -hick- -hick- -hick- *plop*
Sage passed out on the floor.
Delita backed out of the room and found Neko behind him.
Neko: Delita, I --
Delita cut her short with a finger on her lips. He walked off again.
Neko: Come back here this instant!
Delita: What do you want with me?
Neko: Tell me, why is my life worth more than yours?
Delita: Just because. I am a keeper remember? And we know many things. I can't explain this one, and I can't tell you the answer to your question. But I know for some reason that you are worth giving this potion to. Got it? Now keep it for your life. I fear for you. I have no value in this lifetime. But I sense that you do.
Delita walked off leaving Neko standing near her two passed out compatriots.She looked down at the red potion in her hand.She couldn't get the baffled expression off of her face.
"..Hmm..I can heal myself just fine.."She thought to herself. She smiled and walked over at the two drunken bodies on the floor.
Around them,soaked in the ships wooden floor was the biru that the two had been drinking that evening.Where it spilled was now a more vibrant color,taking the color of the biru. Neko sighed and picked up the epmty bottles lying next to Razz and Sage,placing them by a window. Neko finally got the two into the cabins down below,dumping them into two seperate bunks.
"Heh..goodnight guys,"She said to them,knowing how too much alcohol and ocean was a bit of a bad mix.
She closed the door behind her and headed bqack upstairs to clean up as much as the stained floor as she could before the captain would see it. As Neko was thinking about the bracelet,she was suddenly shoved off of balance.After gaining it back,she turned to see the ship from before riding close to the cargo ship.Some men in worn out clothes began to board the cargo ship.Neko yelled for everyone to wake up but had difficulty. One scawny looking pirate came towards her,gripped tightly a gun in one hand and his blade in the other.Neko unsheathed her blade and did her best to avoid his sword to get any closer to her.After a few minutes of battling,some of the crew from the ship came up and a battle between pirate and sailor commenced.Through the large crowd,Neko began looking for her companions but had hardly any luck.Only getting quick glimpses here and there but never being able to get very close. As she was defending herself from yet another thin looking pirate,a large sailor battling nother backed up,knocking her over the edge.His attempt to grab her failed and she tumbled over,into the black ocean. She struggled to the surface,but the two ships above her made it difficult to reach the surface.She could feel her breath running out as she scratched at the bottom of the ships,they shifts back and forth from the weight of the sailors.Neko had little energy left,sucked away by the ice cold ocean,and she began to sink towards the depths of the darkness.
[OOC]Sage, I'm disapointed. The way you made Razz seem, he'd never do that! He would never ditch an oportunity to save someone's life. And Delita... Razz wouldn't drink, and defenatly not get drunk. But meh, it's all good 8D. Well, anyhoo...[/OOC]
When Razz awoke from his unconcious sleep, it was already light out. He looked over to his right, and there was Sage on the floor beside him. Razz pushed his arms, and tried to get up. GAH! Razz let out a small shout at the pain in his back and fell back tot he ground. Oh yeah... I fell off of the freak'n dragon thing. Razz quickly shot up from the floor beneath him. The pain was decently bad, but Razz tried to ignore it. He knew that it would go away eventually. He looked down at Sage to see him slowly awake. The noise Razz made must have woke Sage up. Sage,"AH... my back still hurts." Your back still hurting ya? Sage," Just a little." Well... have you ever heard of the theory of re-located pain? Sage," Uh... I don't think so." Well, it goes like this... Razz pounded his foot on Sage's right hand... but just hard enoguh to hurt, but not do any damage. Sage," OW! What was that for!!" Sage got up and punched Razz. Heheheh... see? It worked! Sage," Huh?" Hah, you forgot all about your back! Sage just stood there and kinda ponered the statement. Razz did a little dance and quietly sang to himself I was right... I was riiiight.
[OOC]Sorry it was so bad... but meh. It's all good.[/OOC]
((Okies, Delita, Sage would never drink, so yeah! ^.^ And Razz, sorry, I got this image bout you like a hardcore mofo kinda guy, so I apologize. ^.^ ))
Sage tackled Razz through a door and looked up to see Neko looking at the two, a smile crept up on her face.
"You two...." she said as she headed for the deck. Sage pulled up Razz and followed, and saw the huge mess.
"Holy crap......what on earth happened?" he said in awe as the waves gently answered with a light sploshing sound. He looked back at Razz who had given him look just as lost as his. Neko began to explain and Sage shook his head.
"Well no wonder I didn't hear anything! Razz's snoring was waaaaay too loud!" the Windian said with a grin. Razz punched him on the arm and then a sailour called out.
"Land ho!!!!!" he cried out as everyone sprung up from their spots to see the mainland coming up. The noon sun hit the decks just right, giving them a breath taking view.
"Amazing....." Sage sputtered out as they neared the docks.\n\n
[OOC]I have never even drank any substance with alcohol in it in any RP or in real life either... so, hah.[/OOC]
Razz and Neko snuck around to the back of the building. Razz looked to his left and saw a man running towards them. Ugh, not a thief... The thief dashed at Razz. Razz jumped in the air and kicked the mugger right in his chin. Thief,"Ow! you new guys are trouble... I'm tell' the man." Neko,"The man?" By the time Neko said that, the thief already ran off into the distance. Don't worry... he was just trying to scare us. So, where do we begin?
[OOC]Sorry it was so short, but I have ta go right away.[/OOC]
Razz had found a back entrance hidden in the dirt. He pulled the chain fround out of the ground and opened up a secret passageway.
Neko: Are you sure it's safe, Razz?
Razz: Well, it's here for a reason. Let's get at it.
They both walked down the staircase leading down. Razz closed the trapdoor behind them. Neko emitted fire into her hands for light. The place had been used recently, because there wasn't any dust on the tables and chairs. They led themselves down a corridor with doors at each side.
Neko: We have no time for these rooms yet. We must meet up with Delita and Sage.
Razz nodded. The both of them continued through twists and turns of tunnels and finnally came upon a staircase leading up. Razz creaked open the trapdoor just a bit so that he could make sure no one was around. He saw two pairs of feet, which seemed to be armored and mechanical. Neko went out first. When they saw the feet, it led up to a android looking object with a bowl shaped head and a large physique. It did not move.
Neko: It must be a prototype. I wonder what it does?
