The War

[readingqueen]

OOT:hey everybody! sorry i've been gone so long and left my character up in the air, but i couldn't help it. i'm back for good now, though!
alyra woke from her deep slumber to much confusion and noise. she went to a soldier and found out what had happened as she had slept. Damn! she muttered agravatedly, Why wasn't I woken! she shook her head and decided to help fight instead of throwing a tantrum. Quickly she took off her cloak, exposing two large, folded black wings. She sighed happily as they stretched out behind her and she glided swiftly over to where Questing was. She took a small pouch that hung at her side and opened it, carefully taking out a small globe that strangely resembled the earth's moon. Here she said to Questing, In darkness's mist, throw this is the air at the direction of the moon and all of our soldiers and allies will be able to see as clearly as if it were day. alyra handed it to questing (along with the pouch) gently. Be careful she said quietly, For it may only be used once, though it will work wonderfully. with that said, she murmured a few inaudible words and a eerily shinning sword appeared in her hands. Smiling, she flew away, looking for battle.

"It was my turn to save you, that's all. Now I want a few weeks off..."

it's not dying for a friend that's hard...no, what's hard is finding a friend worth dying for.

Darkmagic: this is an ongoing story, where we each contribute sections according to the characters we play. Help from Timeheart or the Crossings might be useful, but we are playing this as though we were collectively on Ordeal. Board members can come in and depart as they like (or as the story needs), but we aren't invoking anything so big that it will effectively end the "combat" in one or two posts. More fun that way!

Besides, if we asked, we might get told "We can't help you right now. Your call will be answered in the order in which it was received..." or simply: "Your problem. YOU solve it.

The girl shrugged. "My name is Lilly, first of all. Second, I don't know about your 'intelligence mongers,' but my information is correct. Like I said, you have to destroy their leader to get rid of them completely. The arrows and garlic will hurt them, and most likely make them extremely unhappy, but they'll keep coming back in the end."

She took a deep breath. "You want to know where I got my information from? Well, their master is...he's my father. Need proof? I have some right here."

Lilly closed her eyes tightly, and suddenly became a vampire - though much more human-like than the others.

Quickly, she changed back and tensed, looking around warily. "Do you believe it now?" she asked. "I came here from the castle to warn you, because I knew you wouldn't be able to win this war otherwise.

"My father is a very powerful magician - and a bit mad," she added. "He created the vampires, turned himself into one, and magically linked them all to himself. The only way they'll die is if he dies.

"He tried to make me drink a potion to turn me into one of those monsters," she continued somewhat bitterly. "I struggled, but I swallowed some of it, and you saw what happened to me because of it. So I'm also linked to him. If he dies, well, let's just say I won't be around much longer."

She shrugged casually, seemingly unconcerned. "But I figured, what's more important: my life, or all mankind?"

"So I was -" Lilly broke off suddenly and stared into space as if hearing something, her brow furrowed. She looked up quickly.

"Your scouts are in danger!" she exclaimed. "My father is attacking them! You have to save them, or my father will kill them - or worse, turn them into vampires."

She thought for a moment. "I can carry several of you to the castle. Being a monster does have one or two advantages," she said, grinning slightly. "But will it be enough to rescue them?"

Marama chuckled...it must be admitted, slightly evilly.
Garlic...to increase its power, shall we grow it by moonlight?
She closed her eyes and began to emit a powerful silvery light.

OOT: darkmagic, it's a RPG. It's fun to drag it on for 18 pages and 20 days.

OOt-Papercrane, let's run to were Ged is.
Without wasting a time Diego turned back and started running. We have to do something to make him stop a bit!...I got it.... Diego then whistled but the whistle was amplified by wizardry. It was a call to James, The Phoenix heard him and went to do his bidding...find garlic and bring it to them... at all costs...

Nightshade changed back and forth from human to dragon very quickly.
We don't have time! We'll never make it on foot! I wish Sirius were here...

Diego came up with the answer. I got it! Ged, do you hear me? We need you to go to Sirius and heal him. The "password" is evangelion. Tell him to come here as fast as you can after he is healed. Or send some help. We need you
OOT-I was gonna answer with Ged now but reccess is over.

OOT: Erm. Ok, that works.
In-topic-yet-again: Nightshade was flying now, in dragon form, as the vampire swooped after them.
Diego, I'll distract him--I'm smaller and faster, I hope. I say, he is rather thick for a vampire, isn't he? Just keep running!

Okay! Anyway, I think we'll have help arriving soon. If I send you a thought, fly towards me as fast as you can! Forget about the vampire if I "thought" you. Sying this Diego started running...
************************************************** **************
Ged was preparing a detector spell so he could find Nightshade and Diego when a thought came. Ged, do you hear me? We need you to go to Sirius and heal him. The "password" is evangelion. Tell him to come here as fast as you can after he is healed. Or send some help. We need you
He was gonna answer but the connection broke. Still he didn't say anything but started to work. The spell was already done but he got out the 2 names and put it on a claudication. He made some modifications and inserted one name. Sirius
Moments later he knew the direction and the place were he was since the spell gave him a picture in his mind about were was Sirius, it was easier that way because he could teleport, but the after effect of the wizardry was affecting him. He waited 5 minutes sitting and then said a few words, and banished. Ha came into as place were some big bushes and trees covered the massive shape though of course, he could still see Sirius. If someone couldn't see him she or him should go to the optometrist, he being 98 feet and all (OOT- Yes he grew ) He went to the shape and saw him. He knew that he was badly hurt but protected with the transparent-white colored cloak he was inside of. He went over Sirius, put his hand over his 10-feet head and said one word, Evangelion Instantly the cloak banished and so did Sirius defences. And he started working...
It was a tiring work and took him a while, Sirius had been bitten by a Vampire and if someone would've not healed him soon he would've turned into a semi-vampire or he would've probably died. He healed his wound and cleaned his blood. Soon later Sirius was awake and ready to fly, but he was still weak, so Ged made a custom-spell there so he could transform his wizard energy into the fire-energy Sirius used. Slowly he started feeding it to Sirius. 5 minutes later he had given it all he could give. He felt his eyes closing, and he blacked out...
************************************************** **************
Sirius had now energy that equaled a whole hibernation. So he went flying...and in less than 5 minutes he saw a shape running and another one evading quickly a gigantic vampire..........
OOT- You continue now papercrane

*picks up storyline with appropriate flourish*

Nightshade, once she had gotten over the sheer danger and heart-stopping terror, was actually having fun. Although normal vampires could have out-flown her any day, this one seemed unusually slow, and she was flying circles around it.
She saw a shape gliding towards her, and she could tell it was Sirius.
Sirius! she called in dragon-tongue. Take Diego and go to Ged's fortress!

No! As long as I keep it occupied, it won't attack you! But if I go with you, it will go for both of us! Don't worry, I'll be ok. It will tire first.

arrgh! Diego said but Sirius took him away flying over the hills and they found Ged, he was there in the ground, knocked out. They got him and took him to the fortress with Sirius and Diego. When they arrived at the fortress there were lots of vampires flying around. Attacking, but the soldiers of Evangelion Were keeping them at bay. Diego stopped and told James to go with...
OOT-I'll continue later. I gotta go.

((is there any restrictions, such as each post must be a certain number of lines? also, sorry if i mess up your plot, but...))
suddenly, a girl aboul 13 years old, with straight black hair and purple eyes arrived, looking around, and frowning" this is not where i was going, where is this, who are you, who are they, and what is going on???" the girl asked, rudely, blushing as she realized what she had just said and done, she added," i'm hallie by the way, you?"

A woman wearing a brown cloak shot with green looked up from a pot full of dirt. Green spears of garlic overflowed the edges, and were lengthening noticeably by the moment. Another woman nearby was glowing with a strong silver light, like a full moon.

"I'm Questing, this is Marama, and even if this wasn't where you were trying for, it's apparently where you were needed. The Zen arrow is not aimed, yet it always strikes true. If you are on Errantry, we greet you."

OOC: That's okay, just jump in as you see fit. Most of us can work around each other's posts, no matter how long they are.
