((OoC:Now..this is the first RP i'm making here.I've just recently become really active in RP's so..i kinda thought this one up..like few days ago.Also,please no more than about..4 or 5 peoples))
"In the old world,five bracelets were created,each holding the emmence power of the five gods.The people of the old world believed strongly of these gods,since they thought they created everything.There were the gods of fire,wind and the stars and the goddess's of water and earth. Each bracelet was had a different color and depending on what color you have will depend on what power you could summon. The fire bracelet summoned a great dragon,it's eyes burning,and only one who summoned it can touch it without a burn.The water bracelet summond an elegant serpant from the depths of the great blue.The earth bracelet summoned a great emerald green bird that could fly quicker than any living creature on the planet.The wind bracelet would bring forth a horse with large feathered wings mounted onto it's back. Each of these creatures would do the bidding of whoever summoned them.."
"Wait..wait..what about the star's summon..?"Neko interupted with a smirk on her face. The other children began to agree with her,but soon focused their attention back to the old sailor.
"Ay..well, that bracelet was never found.The people of the old world kept it secret because it's power is supposed to be so great that it could destroy the world in half a blink of me eye here" The one eyed sailor said as he pointed to his left eye.
The story soon ended and everyone returned back to work at the docks.The people mostly working here were strong sailors that travelled through sea,but a few orphans helped out as well,and Neko was one of them.She wasn't much of a fairytail person,she only listened to point out mistakes or because she had nothing else to do. As Neko was helping with some crates,the old sailor from before stopped by her.She tried to ignore him at first,too busy to hear some more of his stories.
"I see that you aren't much of a ..fantasy believer,are ye?"He asked her,holding something in his hand as he limped next to her with his one wooden leg.
"Fantasy tales are for the youngins here that don't know any better.."She said to him as she dropped the box onto some large bags of flour.
"Well..Here ye go..maybe this'll make a believer outta ye"The old man said as he handed her a blue marble bracelet.
Neko gently took the bracelet.It was kind of heavy,made out of some blue marble.She observed it carefully,attempting to read the strange markings on it.They were oddly carved characters that she's never seen before.
"..The..water bracelet?"Neko said in somewhat disbelief. As Neko looked up,she noticed the old man gone..vanished. "Well..i guess this is mine.."Neko said as she slipped the marble bracelet around her wrist to show her friends.
Most of the other teens there were either orphans or their parents were sailors,although there were very few kids there anyways,so Neko knew most of the few that were there..
Sage quickly ran through the woods, his heart pounding.
Gotta....get back......go go GO!!!!! he yelled to himself as he leaped over a rock and tripped. He was sent into some nearby shrubs and he got up, shaking his head. There were some crimsion spots on his face, blood from the small thorns. He continued running, his legs wanting to give up.
Hell.....I'm not gonna make it! he shouted mentally as he came upon the hill that led to town. He stopped for about 5 seconds and ran down the hill, jumping over rabbit holes and houses to other animals. His pant leg got snagged on a turn and he was thrown off balance, his face heading right for the ground. He thrust out his wings and took flight, literally gliding down to the town.
He landed right at the docks and spotted the only face he knew....
"Neko-sama!~" he called out to his close friend, who was working with some boxes. He was covered in mud,cuts, and sweat, his arms limp at his sides.
"Neko-sama.....they're.....coming....." he said as he looked into her eyes. His blue eyes held a look of concern.
Hazel sat on a stack of netting, binding ropes together for the ships in port. It was something she always liked to do. Such mindless activity could take her mind away from more painful things, like memories...
She shut her eyes hard, pushing the thoughts away. She didn't live that life anymore. She was happy here. Nothing else matters. Just over, through, under and in, binding and weaving and threading is what to do.
...Which is what she was thinking when Sage came flying into town, shouting about pursuers.
Sage..? she thought. What is...I didn't even know he had been here before...
She looked over to her one-time compatriot, then down at her half-finished rope, back to Sage, to the rope. She gripped the harsh material roughly, angry at herself. You selfish wench, she thought. You would leave your old friends in potential danger just to protect your new life? For shame!!
With a growl, Hazel threw the rope away into the waters nearby and ran over to the area Sage seemed to be heading towards. She needn't draw his attention yet, she'd just wait to see what was wrong.
Delita sat in a small cafe when he saw a man running his life away when he tripped. Delita took out his bow ready for something to come out of the woods. He edged toward the docks, still aiming towards the woods.
Delita: Sage, are you alright? Sage: Ughnn... Delita: Damnit. I'll go check out the woods.. whatever may lie there.
Delita ran towards to woods, up the hill and into the darkness. It was quite calm, but Delita sensed something wrong amidst.
Heh... some fairy tail that was. Bracelets? HAH! How could such a femenine relic have such power! Said a skinny 15 year old boy. "Yeah, here's a fairy tale for ya! You doing your work!" Replied his friend as he dropped a casket into a pile. Work? Hah! I don't know the meaning of the word! The only work I know of is hunting and fighting with these metal knuckles of mine. Razz laughed as he tugged and adjusted the angle of his headband. Just then, Razz saw a winged man fly towards the dock. As stubborn as he was, Razz tookl off to see what he was and what he was here for. [OOC] Hope ya have room for one more...[/OOC]
The first face Neko saw was Razz,so she immediately walked towards him,looking down towards the terqouise bracelet.The wait didnt bother her that much now,and as she was udjusting it while walking,she noticed the inscriptions gave a strange glow as she neared Razz.
"Woah..Razz,look at this.."Neko said to him as she held her wrist out towards him.
As she did so,Neko pulled it back insuprised to hear the call of Sage running towards the two in pain.Showered over him were cuts and blood.Neko ran towards him and helped him over to some crates to sit on.
"Sage-kun..whats wrong?Who's they?Who's coming?"She asked him remembering what he yelled as he ran towards her.
Neko gave him a comforting hug and looked at the cuts and small thorns still attached to him clothes and wings.She removed as many thorns as possible as sage caught his breath so he could asnwer her..
Sage looked at Neko, a very weak smile on his face. He'd known her for about 5 months, and they were the best of friends. Ever since they met they'ed been really close. He snapped back to reality as she pulled out another thorn. He took a deep breath......
"I was out hunting.....and noticed something strange at Mount Rual......" he stumbled around a bit and took off his shirt. Three horizontal claw marks were on his lower back, one of them still bleeding. He sat back a bit and continued.
"There was something strange going on....." he trailed off. It happened so quickly. He recollected his thoughts and looked at Neko and Razz. He worried about them. He looked over them and others, and well, bad things were gonna happen.
"I entered the Cave of Phantoms and..........the seal was broken! A few demons were outside the cave!" he got a bit worked up, and began talking faster." I tried to fight but they were too strong! I wish I could of done more.....its not my fault, but if we don't tell the elders, then this town could be in danger!" he hopped off of the crates and fell over, a bit dizzy due to loss of blood. The ancient seal was broken, and the town in danger.....what more could happen?
"Wha!?"Neko said ,her eyes wide open. "But how?No one goes near the Cave of Phantoms.."
Sage removed his torn and bloody shirt to reveal the deep wounds cut deep into his flesh.His black drenched in his own blood caused Neko give a loud gasp.She grabbed Sage's shirt,balled up into a ball and placed it on a rather deep wound,still bleeding.
"Come..we'll tell the elders..They'll help you with you're wounds while we're there.."Neko said to Razz and Sage as she looked over at a young lady who seemed to be looking at them.
Soon the three at the entrance of where the Elders met.It was a large structure,white with wooden doors.engraved on the doors were symbols althoug Neko hadn't any time to look at them better.She pushed open the door and helped Sage inside.
"Help!"She yelled out and left Sage with Razz.
Neko ran down to the largest of all the doors and turned the knob.Pushing it open she could see the Elders all sitting around a table,Some standing and a few sitting.
"Help please..the village may be in danger and my companion..friend is hurt badly.."She explained to them breathing hard..
Sage felt out of it. His loss of blood made him weak, and he just let Razz carry him. Something about getting the elders or something. For the time being, he would rest.
Three elders looked at the young girl and nodded, listening to her story. When she was done they spoke as if nothing was going on.
"It may be time......" the youngest one said and the other two nodded. He turned towards Neko and stood up, reaching for his worn out cane.
"It seems an evil presence has returned to this land.......we will send someone out right away." he gave her a warm smile and continued. "Until then, please bring your friend to the side room, the healer will be with you in a moment." he sat back down and closed his eyes. So it was coming.
((OoC: Sorry its so bad, I just didn't know what to write ^.^'')
Razz, limping under Sage's weight, carried Sage to a room in the back. While Razz was carrying him, he was very cautious not to touch any of sages wounds. In the room, there was a small bed in the corner. Razz layed Sage down on the bed as carefully as possible. Oh, look what you did, Sage! Now my clothes are full of blood!They're all red now... well, they were red before, but now they're wet-red. Jeez, no respect. Sage gave a faint and weak smile. His eyes slowly closed, and his head rolled off to the side. Well, he's out."Appearently so." A man said as he walked into the room. This man, was tall, his head almost bumped into the door frame as he entered teh room. His long white clothing shone brightly as the flowed with his footsteps like running water. "Let me see what I can do."
[OOC]sorry, it was so bad... I didn't know what to write, either. =][/OOC]
A sigh clipped out of Neko's mouth,slowly changing to a bit of a smile and a nod towards the elders.She followed Razz into the room with Sage and sat on the other side,near his wounded head.She adjusted the pillow so his head would be more comfortable,and as she was doing so a tall man startled her. Both and Razz and Neko watched as he entered the room and looked down at them humbly,and asked them to exit the room for the time being.Neko stood up and looked down at Sage..she knew he would be okay.Outisde the door was one of the Elders,the eldest of them.
"Your companion..Has seen something that We have tried to avoid for quite some time.."He began,his low gentle voice made Neko more calm. "I fear that the seal wasn't broken though..it was opened..and must be locked once again..or even greater trgedy will be bestowed upon everyone across the lands and sea.." He finished and stopped,turning towards both Razz and Neko.
Neko stood there,not saying a word,suddenly she was nervous again for she knew what he was going to say next.
"The bracelet you wear..i noticed it as soon as you entered,and recgonize it.."He said,a smile now on his face. "It is the bracelet of Amelia,the goddes of the water..may i please see it?"Now holding out his hand towards Neko.
She slid the marble bracelet off of her wrist and gently laid it in the Elder's hand.He observed it and read the markings written all across and around the bracelet in gold ink.
" 'From the depths of the ocean rests the liquid serpant only to be summoned by this sealing key in the time of need, nearing the apocolyps; joining of the elements will be the only way to life '.."The Elder translated,his fingers tracing the elgant writing. "This Bracelet is not only a tool used to summon the great serpant,Daemorn, but also a sealing key..When all keys are brought together,then will the seal be once again closed..Neko,you seem to be one of the chosen.Having the bracelet in this time of need..you must seek the remaining four bracelets,with the help of you companions if they wish to accompany you.."
Neko stood shocked,her mouth as dry as ever.All she could do was look over at Razz,and when she opened her mouth to reply to what the Elder said but all that came out was a loud sigh.She looke dover at the closed door that Sage and the healer mage man were in.Her eyes narrowed and she looked up at the Elder and nodded her head in ageement to do the quest.
[OOC]Sorry aboot the sigs... man, I'm just absent minded.???[/OOC]
Woah, dude.... That's pretty... cha. Razz was cluless as what to say... But, I'm with ya all the way, Neko. You know... I've always wanted to do something with my life. I've always wanted to go someplace and do something of even the SLIGHTEST importance. But this... this is just... woah. But still, no matter what, my fists will aid you 'till it's over. Razz got off in his train of thought. Finally.... finaly these babies are gonna bleed! Neko,"Uhhhh, Razz?" huh? Oh, yeah, sorry... Neko,"Elder... what must I do?"
[!] I don't have mush to post, so this one will be short [!]
After scouting the borders of the forest, Delita went to where everyone else would have went, the elder's.
Delita: I heard about the demons. I will be glad to accompany you if you would let me.
Razz: Who are you?
Delita: Well uh, Razz that is a good question..
Razz: How do you know me? none of us knows you!
Delita: Well, I am, or was one the the keepers of the seal. I don't know what happened to the new keeper, though.
Razz: That does't explain how you know my name..
Delita: We keepers know lots of things, Razz. We aren't all knowing, but we do know a lot. It's a part of us until we die, after we choose to be a keeper.
"N-neko-sama!!!" Sage shot out of bed, knocking over the healer by his side. Unknow to him his companion was on the others side of the door. He got up and fell over, his vision a bit blury. His back wound had finally closed up, now just a bad scar. He still had his cuts and bruises on his front side, and his legs were like rubber.
"Neko-sama....I'm sorry...." he said as a frustrated tear of sorrow rolled down his striped cheek. The healer tried to comfort him as he stumbled out of the room and saw Neko. He smiled a bit and fell forward, slipping into darkness. He knew it was only a dream, and now that he knew she was safe, he could sleep peacefully.
"He'll be alright, just about 2 more hours of healing and he should be done...." the healer said as Razz assissted Sage back to bed. Unknow that he would soon be fighting to protect....
At the Caverns....
A loud grumble was heard from the cave as all the demons (about 10) had gathered together. They jumped and rolled around as a massive claw emerged from the depths of the cave. Another limb emerged as a huge hand with spikes on the back of it came forth, pulling out a massive dragon/humanoid creature about two stories tall. It let out a loud shriek and soon the monsters were off towards the town, tearing down trees and killing anything in the way.
(The 10 monsters bounding around are not the super strong ones that fucked up Sage! XD Those ones went back into the cave. Lol Oh and dun like make it a one post kill for the boss. I'm hoping for a huge battle that will span a good 3 pages maybe XD I dunno if thats too much tho.
Razz jumped from his seat at the sound that he heard. He looked around the room and saw the facial expressions of the people inside. The scilence was deadly, then finaly Razz spoke up. W... what was that? Elder,"It could have only been the demons." Neko,"Well, that doesn't help. Sage hasn't even recovered yet!" Hey you, Razz pointed at Delita, Come with me. Prove to me that you're on our side and see if we can find them and see if we can hopefully delay them... somehow. Delita," Alright... Let's get going." The two headed straight out of the door.
