yes, that is correct.

OOC:-Pass

OOC: Is he ever gonna post?

OOC: that's a good question. I don't know where he is.

OCC. really sorry... Ive been having problem with my 360 and been teying to figure it out. Turns out i got a hardware failier and it needs to be serviced...

- " Uhh... We gotta walk from a certain point," Said Fankor," And two days of it?" " Oh well dont worry, we'll get there soon enough," Laverra answered him back. " I know, but im so axious to get there,... And Ther eis that little bit of pressure on us... you know, the whole saving all of alegasia thing," Fankor said.-

oOC: We skipped Star. Oo

It's stars turn then ?

Eriel mounted Emrhyst and quickly took off after StarGazer. She looked at Efraim and Woodrew with dislike as she passed them. Emrhyst looked at the scar on StarGazer's chest. So....How is it?

OOC: -Pass turn

Occ. ughh they cut my sig.... they could of at least gave me a warning so i can get rid of the ones i want

- Fankor Hopped off Laverra's back and walked to the forest edge. It was an amazing sight. The trees were enormous and so plentiful. In some spots it grew so close together that it created a wall. " Shall we get going," He asked. Laverra walked towards him and nudged him with the top of her head. " Would you like to ride a little," She asked him. " No im alright, thanks for the offer though. I think the walk will do me some good," Fankor answered back. " So this is basically the last strech to ellsmera then, by foot?," Fankor asked.-

Whats wrong with everyone? I've never seen this much sorrow before.
It comes from a large battle. So much death that only the strong willed can survive.
Keralin bowed his head in reverence to the fallen.

OOC: in other words... pass

Eriel breathed deeply as Emrhyst flew into the heat of the Beor desert. The familiar hideout standing so awkwardly and yet blending in perfectly.

OOC: Pass turn

Occ. Can i just aske Aeraldi and I-L-S to trade spots.... It just makes the whole Rp easier to read since were in 2 different groups.

- " Well shall we get moving then," Fankor asked. Getting to ellsmera as fast as possible was the main goal, but sice there was no other way, taking a hike through the forest seemed nice. After all it was beautiful. The forests back home seemed like nothing compared to what stood before them. Laverra took the first step into the forest and Fankor followed, Weaving through the maze of trees.-

OOC: why? Faefnir did after all swear to you that he would protect you and Laverra. Pass. Can't think of any situation yet.

OOC: Okay.. now I'll edit mine.

OCC. i was just asking you2 to swich so it would go me you aeraldi star then eriel. Since our posts will mostly be be talking between us and same with the other 3. you see what im saying?

OOC: Oh, OK. I misunderstood the question. sure, I think we can do that. Star?

ok then good... now were waiting on Aeraldi

OOC: Okay... so the order is
Elve
ILS
Aeraldi
Star

Right?

OOC: me and Aeraldi are going to switch turns since elve and him are in the same group. so the new order is elve, aeraldi, myself, star, eriel.

so we skipping your turn then or are you going to have another go?

OOC: ya, skip my turn. besides, I can't think of anything.

Eriel is right the order from the top is Me, I-L-S, Aeraldi, Star, Eriel

OOC: So we're waiting for Aeraldi now?

Well Araldi and I-L-S skipped so its stars turn

Eriel shuddered as she heard the same harsh drumbeats in the distance from where she was standing in the cave. Her elves had raised a wall and were all assembled below it. Emrhyst landed next to her rider.

OOC: Pass turn.

Just to get things straight,

Feafnir and Laverra are heading to Ellesmera.
Star, Efriam and I are now in the stronghold waiting for the next assault.

Right?

OOC: correct. elve, it's ur turn.

OOC: elve king, it's ur turn.

OOC: So many ppl are forgetting interestin Rp's recently I'll PM him...

Occ. srry guys... i didnt forget its just i havent been reciving the internet in for a while... it was some problem with the company and there coming out this coming up thursday to fix it so i really wont be back till then...ill give a post for now, but again im really really sorry.

-Hour after hour passed by as the four weaved through the forest. Fankor noticed that the further into the forest they walked, the bigger the trees got. " how old is this forest exactly," he asked," i never knew trees could get so big." some of the tres were getting to be as wide as two of him laying head two foot.-

OOC: Okay then. Well, come back soon!

well im finally back but wheres you guys? lol

OOC: I'm here.... as are all of us, though they may have forgotten.

its I-L-S turn

OOC: aren't you and elve King post at the same time, since you two are in the same time zones? if we are doing that, then it's ur turn Aeraldi.

OOC: now, it's my turn.

Faefnir suddenly stopped when the Stag stopped. Lavarra, wait. The Stag says we are close. He says the only way we can gain entry to Ellesmera by one way, and that way leads to the Guardian. He is the only one who can allow us entry into the city. Let me do all the talking OK? The Stag trotted beside him as they got close to the road and the Guardian.

Meanwhile, back at the mountain stronghold in the Hadarac, draconian war drums could be heard in the distance.

now its either star or eriel

OOC: it's Star, then Eriel, then you

well i got to wait for eriel and the order is totally messed up. after star its eriel then ILS then aeraldi....

OOC: Okay... so I guess I'll go.

IC: The elven spell-weavers on the wall watched the approuching draconians with an emotionless expression. They raised their hands and, just like they did back home, lifted a great body of water which crashed down upon the draconians. Eriel laughed, bloodlust came upon her as she saw the army behind the wall. "Take command." She whispered to a lieutenant with her mind as she plunged her dagger through a draconian's bosom, the wind about her built up speed and pushed the lifeless body away from her. She then proceeded to the other elves.

Emrhyst growled as hooks were swung onto her legs, punturing her claws. Filthy beasts. She roared out at them and swung her tail, killing some. As she did this, a draconian stabbed at her eye, causing blood to leak out. Both rider and dragon cringed.

EDIT...- whats going on where are you guys in here and on suicide mission??????????????????

- Fankor started to open his mouth to speak to the elven queen, but before a word could leave his mouth he felt Laverra touch his mind. " It's ok Fankor I will speak to her," She said as she touched Queen Islanzadi's mind. " Queen Islanzadi, weve come here on a very important quest, so important, that it will determine if we will win or lose this war... My mother's rider was an elf. His last name was Nietziot, and i was wondering if there were any decendents from his family that kney him and my mother, or even if you could answer my question for them. I need to find my Father. According to my mother who came to us in a spirit form, he knows of a weakness that the draconians have that could wipe them all out,"Lavarra said as she waited for a reply. " Well Laverra, of course im familiar with the family name... Riders are one of the most respected and well known people among us elves. I knew your Mother and her rider as close friends, and let me say, your mother was a brilliant dragon. She and her rider were an excellent team, as im sure you and your rider are as well," Laverra and Fankor both let out a smile with a nod while still listening to Islanzadi," ,But I'm afraid i have no idea on where your father may be. Your mother's rider,however has a sister who was very close to her... Maybe she can help you out," Islanzadi finished. Laverra nodded again ," Yes hopefully she can... where might we find her then," she asked. " She lives not to far from her acually..., just walk out this way and walk your way down about fifteen trees, and the sixteenth tree on the right side is hers," as she finished she pointed to a long hall that eventually exited back outside. " Thank- you so much queen Islanzadi," Laverra said again as they started to walk down the hall.-

OOC: I, have no idea. Who's turn is it?

Im thinking stars... i sent her a pm

Eriels next then me....

OOC: I know. I live in a different timezone... You can't expect me to reply 4 in the morning can you? I need to sleep!

IC: Eriel frowned then slammed her bow into the abdomen of a Draconian. She drew an arrow, plunged it into his eye then shot it at one behind him, before kicking the wounded draconian over the wall. She looked around quickly then jumped down the stairs. She cartwheeled to the side as a sword swiped the air, then kicked the draconian away from her.

Emrhyst roared in pain and slammed her tailspike into the head of one.

Occ. acually it was my turn lol oh well.... who ever goes after star go after me for this turn...
- Fankor a laverra walked through elsmera untill they reached the tree Queen Islanzadi spoke of. They found that who they were looking for was sitting on the bottom few steps of the tree. She was wistling a little tune until se spoted Laverra and Himself. " You must be Fankor and Laverra...," she said. " Yes, we are, but how do you know our names...," Fankor asked. " Well I was Told so by my sister. She came to me in a dream. She also did mention why you were coming, although it wasnt too hard to figure it out," she said back. "[i] We were told by a Friend that we may be able to locate my father in the Spine, do you know if that is true," Laverra asked. " That is correct, But the Spine is a very dangerous Place. Even Galbatorix Himself fears to enter the cursed woods... That is why I am going to come with you. You see, after I got word you were traveling here to Elsmera, I scuried your progress on the way here, and i see you are not too educated in the ways of magic. I thought it would be of great help to you if i were to tag along," She answered. " That would be much appriciated," Fankor said. " Now lets get some rest, and we will leave first thing tommarow morning. I had set up the riders keep for you two when I heard you were coming. Go rest up and meet me at the edge of the forest in the morning....And by the way, My name Kiara." " Well thank you for the place to stay and for your aid Kiara... We will meet you in the morning then," said Fankor as he nodded to Laverra as they walked to the keep to get some sleep. They will need it for the long trip ahead of them.-

OOC: guys, let's establish an order. We are moving willy-nilly and it's kinda confusing.

Star
Me
Aeraldi
ILS
Eriel
? Meaning it would be your turn ILS

OOC: OK

Faefnir landed behind the gate and went into one of the rooms that branched off of the main hall. He unlocked the door and quickly rushed inside. He looked at a giant blue stone that was set in the center of the room and spoke several words. When he got back to the top of the wall, he smiled as he saw that it was working. The sand surrounding the mountain fortress started swirling around like a giant whirlpool. He roared in triumph as he saw some of the draconians taking off and try to fight in the air while others got swallowed downwards and were crushed by the sand. He saw Keralin down there almost getting enveloped himself (OOC: sorry about the gm). Aelir! Get your Rider back on the wall, quickly!

Faefnir saw Reb being pulled under. Somehow, Star couldn't get to her. Losing Reb would mean losing Star! His instinct imediately changed to fight. He leaped off the wall and into the sand whirlpool. He was pulled under immediately, his mass and momentum contributing to the swallowing. He tried to put on the breathing spell before he was pulled under, but he was too late. Some sand entered his lungs and he was just able to get his mouth closed. Even with his massive strength, it was hard for him to "swim" through the whirlpool. He slowly snaked his way through the sand and kept his sharp eyes out for Reb or Zantya. His breath was losing, and he could feel Star's connection breaking. He used even more strength than before to slither through the sand. He kept some energy in reserve so he could leap out of the sand and back onto the wall. He found Reb, but she looked different. Almost as if she was a shade now. It wasn't Zantya, but she still looked like a shade. He decided to get her out now and ask questions later. With one more mighty kick, he forced himself through the sand and grabbed Reb. He slowly felt his breathing being forced out of him and Star was almost gone. He just managed to angle up and leap out of the whirlpool before he suffocated to death. When he got back on the wall, he looked at Star gazer. She was almost dead, her breathing extremely slowed. Faefnir coughed some of the sand out of his lungs, then started pressing Reb with the back of his talon to try to get her breathing again and force some of the sand out. Everyone looked at him as he tried dearly to save the life of their leader who held off the draconians at Stronghold. The drama lasted for nearly an hour.

OOC: I'll leave it to you whether or not I revive her, Star.

OOC: NO!! Star Gazer!! Okay, what now? Should we all get zapped into the vault then continue the rp in there?

OCC... hmm This beefs up the story a little... I wonder where this stoy is gunna go next...


- On their flight to the spine, Kiara took them on a path that did not lead to far towards the mountains were all the fighting was going on. Fankor and laverra were flying swiftly, and just Like Kiara said, She and Kyth were trailing right behind. All of a sudden, Fankor got a horrible feeling in his gut. He didn't know what it was, but all he knew was it made him feel terrible. It sickened him even more to hear what he heard next. It was very faint, more like it was in his mind more than anything. All he could make out were slight screams which seemed to sound as if someone was in great pain. He heard it again, only this time... louder. He didnt need to hear anymore. He knew it was Reb, and he didnt even need to think twice on what happened. A tear rolled down his face as he felt Laverra touch his mind. " Little one, I know how you feel. It sickens me to hear this as well, but we know whos falt it is, and the only way to stop it is if we find my father. I think we should keep Star Gazer in our thoughts, But we must focus on our mission. Then we can take revenge for Star Gazer out on the filthy Beasts." Fankor nodded his head as he knew Laverra was absolutely right. There flight continued... Drawing ever so nearer to the Spine...-

OOC: sorry, Aeraldi. I have to respond to this.

Faefnir felt the life leave Star gazer. He hyperventilated a little bit, then more ferociously breathed air into her lungs. But it wouldn't do any good. He shuddered a bit, then held Star gazer's head close to his chest. He allowed tears to flow out of his deep blue eyes and he roared loudly, sorrowfully, for his beloved mate. He pushed away any attempts to comfort him and continuously held her head close to his chest. When the tears finally stopped, a new emotion came alongside his sorrow: anger. And it came swiftly, without warning. He snarled, then allowed his anger to swallow him. His eyes became red. But that wasn't the only thing that happened to him. He grew larger, his talons and teeth grew longer. He became extremely frightening. When his growth stopped, he shuddered, then roared loudly, his anger and sorrow fueling it. He took the gold gemstone out of Star's scales and clenches it in his hands. The stone got absorbed into his hand, further fueling his anger and sadness. He roared, then leaped off the wall and headed east to where the draconian army fled. He quickly found the camp where the remnants were. He landed in the center and roared so loudly, the people at the mountain could hear him. He slaughtered anything that got in his way, he didn't care if it was draconian, human, or elf. His rage was unstoppable now. Nothing in all of Alagaesia and beyond could stop his rampage.

OOC: Thats fine, but I'm gonna need to introduce an old friend.

Keralin lay in Aelir's jaw, slowly being let down. He hadn't the energy to move, nor even to feel. He was appalled at what he had did, for a few seconds he even hated himself. Aelir tried his best to comfort him, but he knew that Keralin needed to be alone. He lowered Keralin to the floor and let him walk away. Aelir listened to the goings on of the others. He was stunned by the sudden loss of Star Gazer. Then he mourned, letting tears fall from the loss of another dragon.

Aeraldi was sitting in the fields of grass, enjoying the simple lifestyle and reprieve from all the others. That was until he heard Faefnir's roar of pain. He took off suddenly and headed to where the roar had come from. He felt Faefnir's rage, and knew that it would be disastrous if anything was in the way. He was soon there but the rampage was already in full swing. Faefnir was killing all of the innocent survivors.
Faefnir stop, I implore you! Killing these innocents will not make you feel better, it will only increase your pain. Don't make me have to change to stop you! Aeraldi sent desperately to the enraged dragon.

OOC: that needs to be edited. this thing started occurring before he was born.

OOC: sigh. alright. We'll keep him in.

OOC: You forgot to put Elva into the order... He is before me

srry im back.... was away for the break... but im kinda thinking what to write... ill be back later tonight if any of you read this

OOC: Finished thinking yet? *nudge*

yes... lol, my internet went out for a few days.... no idea why and im very sorry....

- The flight to the spine was very quiet. nothing was said after news of the death of Star Gazer. ITs was starting to get dark now and Fankor spotted a nice place to make camp. " Kiara, should we make camp, its getting dark and theres a nice spot for camp right down there in those trees," Fankor said. " Yes, we might as well, we are about to the spine, and it would be almost impossible to navigate it in the dark," Kiarra answered back as she directed kyth into a small circle of trees. Lavara swoop down and landed right next to to them and dropped off Fankor. " Ill be back little one im going to hunt me a nice deer," Laverra said to Fankor's mind. Fankor just nodded. Laverra lept into the air and was gone. Kiara was occupied by brushing down Kyth. Fankor sighed as he sat on a a nearby rock. " I guess ill go get some firewood and try to find us something to eat," Fankor said as he stood up again. " That would be nice, thank-you Fankor," Kiara answered back," and i will take first watch tonight, you look tired and you need your sleep for tommarow." Fankor nodded and then he was gone.-

OOC: I have to wait for I-L-S to respond to Aeraldi so he passes.

Please Faefnir, hear my words! The power you have gained from your anger can be used differently! Don't let it consume you!

Keralin entered the castle, listening to the screech of dying lives and twisting metal. He didn't care. What is the point in living if I cannot even abide by the rules I set for myself? He stared at his sword, wondering if he should impale himself upon it. A flash of memory went through his mind at that instant, of over two hundred years ago when he thought the exact same thing. The answer was simple, he had devised this answer himself and swore to stay by it. He said to himself again, "Taking that route is the easy way. What good will my sacrifice have if nobody knows it even happened? There is forgiveness in this world for those who seek it, but redemption comes at the price of servitude to preserving life. While there is breath in this body I will save the lives of those I can." Those words didn't make him feel any better, but it helped him grasp the will to live.

Aelir mourned the death of Star Gazer more ferociously than he would have thought. He understood now why it was so hard to see someone die, when he would have counted them as a friend. Someone of his own kind was lying without breath just a small distance away. There is no glory to be had in war, no matter who you are. He thought to himself.
