Chains of Chaos

RedDragonX · May 12, 2009 2:06 AM

Yet another bolt of lightning flashed through the night, illuminating the entire city in a terrifying glow. Arus reached out through the mental connections around him, finding both the one stalking him and the other dragon hidden within the confines of the city.

I don't know if I should feel bad for this individual or feel threatened, thought the dragon deep within the barriers of his mind. His body remained still, giving him the appearance of a sleeping dragon.

A great advantage to be sure. Usually he could not read emotions this easily, but this particular creature seemed ready to explode in an incredible display of mental torment. He could read his every move as it formed into an idea within his mind.

Arus would do nothing for now, for their was no need. Sleep was much more important, but regardless, he kept his mind alert, ready to act if needed.

"Sleeping..." muttered Reevan nigh inaudibly.

Taking this as his chance, the Liitalo peered around... Only to see nothing of value. Some ashes. Stone table. Nothing worth selling he could grab, except perhaps the hide of the dra...

No. Do not go down that road. You are strictly a bandit, not a murderer... Not intentionally. No. That's the path to destruction...

Reeling with self disgust at the thought, he accidentally dropped his stone club. With the clatter it made as it almost shattered on the hard floor, the Liitalo immediately froze, then, thinking the sleeping dragon was about to rip him limb from limb at the intrusion, rushed out and away, trying to get to his hiding place before the imagined dragon on his heels would get out of the doorway.

Too late to join? If not,
Entry form:

Name: Lance

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Element and powers: Ice. Also he is able to mess with other being's minds, making them hear or see things that aren't actually there. His elemental (breath) attacks are stronger than his melée's, making him prefer his breath.

Personality: shy, likes to keep to himself, but he likes friends around. (a tiny bit anti-social), but quite curious. Loves flying.

Appearance: Main body is Icy Blue, with A darker blue for his under-scales. Piercing Red eyes, with a scar across the left one. Slightly smaller than normal dragons, therefore may not appear as intimidating.

Background: Dumped as an egg, raised by another dragon who found him. Lance ran away at the age of 8, raised himself in the wild and trained himself to fight, learning how to live in an almost uninhabited land.

Usually, during the RP, I just make stuff up, to make him better suit his environment...
Plz not be to late to join!

(Hmmm.... Who shall I burst in on....)

Petalance was outside of the ruined city's boundaries, in a small, short burrow she had just dug. At first, it had been warm and snug, but she had underestimated the rain and now she was literally getting flooded into it. With a sigh she hauled herself out of a small hole at the bottom and crawled up the steep-angled sides of the burrow. She emerged into the rain, filthy with mud and getting cold, she had to find shelter. Sensing the earth with her paws she realised that there was a city of some kind nearby. She at once hurried towards it.

Within 15 minutes she had arrived to find it in ruins, much to her distain. She ran along the sides of a stone cliff and soon found a cave hewed out of the side of the wall. She ran in and shook herself, droplets of water flying in all directions. That was when her earth sense picked up that she wasn't alone in here, she turned her head to the side to see a black-coloured dragon asleep, and on a table of all things. She let out an involuntary gasp, but she didn't jump to conclusions and run. She looked about and calmed herself down, thinking of how she was going to reveal her presence, if he hadn't realised she was here already....

(Volcanix: I don't have a problem with you joining so long as you keep your character involved in the story and stick to the plot effectively big_smile )

The sound of smashing stone reached his ears. Was certainly more clumsy then was expecting. He felt the turmoil inside him raging once more...whoever this was he certainly had a lot to think about on a constant basis.

Don't be a fool now friend..., pleaded Arus in his mind. He then felt the mental presence slip away from him.

For once...someone with intelligence..., thought Arus only to have another one break into his boundaries. Another dragon?....well this certainly is the odd situation..., continued Arus as he explored the newly arrived prospect.

She was indeed a dragon...and a very fine one at that. Earth most likely, with a very deep soul. He felt her leave as quickly as she came, her mind burning with the thought of a large, black dragon resting in one of these ruined rooms.

Not hard to figure that one out I'm afraid..., Arus retreated into his mind again, content to keep resting as the storm outside him raged onwards, but still leaving mental tendrils around the three other individuals around him in these ruins.

Spyro Volcanix · May 12, 2009 9:08 PM

OOC: I can keep up :-P .

Lance glided down from the chipped wall, landing with a soft 'thump' on the chipped floor. 'What in the name of...' he thought examining the buildings. He had thought this town had looked inhabated, but there was nothing alive around, save for the rats.

Lance padded slowly through the wreck and ruin that the town now cosisted of. Every house was either burned or wrecked, sometimes both. He shook his head. 'Well, as long as I'm here, may as well stay for the night.' Lance thought, before randomly selecting a building, and entering. Looking aroundthrough the damage and debri he thought he spotted an oddly shaped table, but decided against resting there and favoured the floor. Setling down, he shook off the last of the fine film of rain from under his scales, before reaching with his mind and creating an illusion in every beings mind, which was supposably just the rats, that anyone that saw him, saw nothing.

Rurikredwolf · May 13, 2009 12:20 AM

Zyrnoth heard a creaking, as if someone or something entered. Now he was fully alert, and casting glances all around him. It could be the stalker; it could be another. There was no way to tell unless he personally went and checked on it.

Darkness had surrounded him, and his eyes are not adjusted to the darkness. Growling to himself, he pushed against what appeared to be an opening...

Kipeci · May 13, 2009 12:41 AM

Reevan finally got the nerve to peer out of his hiding spot. The dragon had not followed him. Must have been a heavy sleeper...

He heard some sort of shoving noise nearby, but he figured that was just the wind. The storm was starting to get underway...

RedDragonX · May 13, 2009 1:46 AM

He could hear four voices within his mind, he could also hear the intensity of the storm around them pick up.

All four were now shifting in the darkness, each one wondering just what was truly transpiring in these forgotten ruins.

This could be a more interesting trip then I thought...

Spyro Volcanix · May 13, 2009 6:01 AM

Lance was jolted awake by the thunder, startled, he reinforced his grip on the surrounding minds, 'Great, now it'll look like the air shimmered or something, I've practically blown my cover...' he thought, 'But then again, there is nothing here but rats... I don't really have to worry.' He lay his head down again, trying to sleep, but he just couldn't.

Phoenix_Flyer · May 13, 2009 1:44 PM

When the dragon she had spotted hadn't immediately moved Petalance had made a swift exit, she had then found a cave a bit further down which was not being used. Tired she curled up and went into a light sleep, jolted awake every now and again because of the thunderstorm.

Rurikredwolf · May 13, 2009 6:51 PM

Zyrnoth pushed the thing over, making a large 'BANG!' Cursing to himself, he dove out of sight and waited for something to react.

Spyro Volcanix · May 13, 2009 8:38 PM

Lance raised his head, listning again. He had heard a noise that was definitly not thunder or rain. He slowly stood, now cautious. He walked further into the room, and into the dark shadows on the far end. He would always use darkness as a safe garud, just in case something else saw through his tricks. He lay down in the corner yet again, but now he knew; rats weren't the only things that lived in this city...

Kipeci · May 13, 2009 11:02 PM

Reevan glanced about him.

What was happening around him? He heard rustles near the end of the room, something that was shiny for a bit but then disappeared, and a noise like something really heavy had fallen farther off.

Where there ghosts about him?

No weapons would work against those, even if he reclaimed one after his club had been shattered.

Rurikredwolf · May 13, 2009 11:34 PM

Nothing.

Zyrnoth carefully stepped into the place that...whatever he had knocked over had blocked. Curiousity rose within him as he sought to find out what was in here, completely oblivious to the glowing red eyes that appeared for a second.

RedDragonX · May 14, 2009 2:51 AM

Arus felt yet another presence among the ruins. Something certainly wasn't sitting right....and he could feel the discomfort of all those around him. Why were they all here? What was the purpose of this meeting?

Amidst the shattered ruins of the one noble city, five complete strangers now found themselves entangled in a mental struggle.

The sound of something smashing against the floor echoed around him. The black dragon wished more then ever to keep silent at this time....but perhaps events were going to unfold a little more differently.

Silently, he pushed himself off the stone slab. Sapphire eyes turned out towards the storm. Despite the state of the world around him....it was time that he found out just what he could about these strangers. For it was obvious that all of them were brought to this place for a reason.

Kipeci · May 14, 2009 3:35 AM

Reevan began to scan the floor for something... heavy, long and hopefully thin.

It reassured him to have a weapon, and despite the previous noises ghosts hadn't attacked him... Yet, anyway. He thought they didn't exist, but then maybe they did, and if so... He'd like to be armed, even if it would be rather useless.

However, nothing in particular looked like a proper club. Couple of claws, but they were just of the dull and decorative statue variety.

Settling on a stone from the cobbled road, the Liitalo uneasily grasped it.

The ghosts- or whatever it was- were... something. It felt... disturbing, somehow, in this town.

Spyro Volcanix · May 14, 2009 7:54 AM

A scrabling, then the clink of stone against stone, before finally a creak. 'That was no rat...' Lance slowly stood, carefuly making sure he made no noice, but failing so when he accidentely nudged a stone near his feet. The small rock went tumbling awway, seeming to be even louder than the rain and thunder, before it slowly came to a stop with a 'clunk' against the wall. Lance winced, then slowly scanned the room for any other movements.

Phoenix_Flyer · May 14, 2009 8:01 AM

Petalance had obviously been jolted awake again from the bang of something being pushed over. She got to her feet and listened, she looked out into the storm and thought for a moment before using her earth sense again. Three, maybe four other dragons and.... A lizard? She shrunk to the back of the cave. It wasn't that she was frigtened, it was more that things just weren't making sense. She curled up on the floor and let her earth sense feel the earth around her.
Yeah, there's four of them alright. And they're all moving about.... She thought as she resigned herself to keep a sense on them all, she wouldn't attack unless attacked first, better to watch and wait was the best idea.

Kipeci · May 15, 2009 11:42 PM

Reevan turned to the noise.
What had made that rock move? There didn't seem to be anything...
Clutching his rock tighter, he moved uneasily, trying to pinpoint what exactly caused the disturbance.

RedDragonX · May 16, 2009 7:53 PM

Fear, anticipation, repulsion, A wide mix of emotions spun around inside Arus's mind, and the minds of those around him.

"Well If I'm going to meet someone might as well make it one of my own kind...."

The black dragon focused his mind on the one closest to his and the one that seemed most draconic. Very slowly, me moved towards the beacon this mind was giving out, providing a sonar like signal for Arus to follow.

He paved his way through the broken pieces of stone, the heavy raindrops pounding against his thick, black scales. After what seemed like hours on end, he stumbled across a small cave carved into the stones.

Whoever this is, they're down there...waiting...., thought Arus with slight regrets. Quickly purging such thoughts from his mind, he moved forward swiftly, intending to find out just who he was playing this life-sized game of chess with...

Spyro Volcanix · May 17, 2009 1:39 AM

Lance slowly walked forward, his body lowered, preparing to pounce. The mysterious figure seemed to shift. 'It's a good thing he can't see me' he thought, for he knew that in this light, nothing could be seen, but in broad daylight, his movements caused ripples. He circled the figure, examining what seemed to be an oversized lizard. 'interesting' lance thought, as he inspected the makeshift weapon in it's hands. 'It seems to at least have basic intelegence.'

Phoenix_Flyer · May 17, 2009 8:49 AM

(RDX, who's Arus going to? Its seems like half of us are in caves at the moment.....)

RedDragonX · May 17, 2009 10:23 PM

(Directed at you right now, yeah kinda hard to be specific when we're all hiding in similar locations big_smile )

Kipeci · May 18, 2009 3:37 AM

Standing at attention, holding the rock up and tensed, the Liitalo waited. He thought he heard something walking around near him... Nah, probably just his mind...

In an effort to settle his mind, he scanned the floor for perhaps a better weapon. He didn't feel such a pressing urge to combat the ghosts, so perhaps he could a look a bit more in-depth.

Ghosts!, he laughed at himself mentally.

"You know you've got something wrong with you when storm winds make you think there's a ghost," he half-kidded, half-berated himself.
