[RP] Legend of the Silver Dragon

Reil
I could feel i was being moved, but these visions still played in my mind.
The arena i found Bahamut, there lay a stone tablet, with ancient inscriptions.....i awoke to Kusanagi picking me up.
"ugh.....thanks..Kusanagi." i thanked. I suddenly shot open my eyes with realisation.
"The power i posess could bring Hell to it's knees..." i mumbled, "We need to return before he does. We need to return the the Dark Temple before Lord Rakshaman does!" i exclaimed.

Saga

We left right after midnight(if it's the time).I hopped on Magnus' back and we took off to the clouds."Well,looks like we're on our own now,"I said."Yeah,Ah'll mish them,"said Magnus.

"well,I have a place to go.Take me there,willya?"I asked."Shure,where?"he asked."A temple called the Dark Temple.I heard that there are some...stuff inside that tells about Hades.We still need a strategy to dafeat a powerful enemy,"I said.

"Bhut tha Dhark Themple ish dangerous!Thay shay that Lord Rakshaman once dwelled there!"Magnus said frantically."Well,you said 'once' didn't you?That means he's not there anymore,c'mon let's go,"I said.

OOC:Saga dosen't know about Lord Rakshaman.So try to play along,willya guys?

Xian's Dream (A continuation)

"I don't want to go...I don't want anymore of these images...It's too much...Too much death..." I replied.
"You've been living with death for 15 years, ever since your birth, people died. I give you these images to help you on your journey."
"How could death possibly help me?" I asked.
"I'll show you if you come with me..."

Kusanagi

cocks one eyebrow

Xian's Dream

"No...It's all too much...I just wanna wake up..."
"......."
"...you won't answer me?" I asked.
"There's no need to...You'll awaken when you're ready...And I'll show you what you need to know when your ready..."
Then all I could see was a blinding light...

Reil
I rushed over to Trinity,
"Trinity! Trinity!" i called, he turned around, "..Trinity, i have some very important information. When i was unconcious on the floor, i had visions in my mind, with a voice telling me i needed to return to where i started....then the visions showed me the Dark Temple, where i gained this very dark power of the Dark Knight and where i also found Bahamut...." i explained, slightly panicked, "We need to return there, to find the Ancient Stone Tablet. The voice told me that something needed to be summoned, it mentioned the name 'Nefasturris', but i have a feeling this is no dragon summoning..." i continued.

Trinity

I was estrange by this news but then my face calmed. "I see. We will do as you ask, but first I think everyone needs to rest for now an build up their strength. We will go as soon as we're fully rested and healed.*puts hand on his head* I think you need a good sleep as well Rein. We will go. That is my word and God's."*take shand off his head*

Shana

I didn't have the heart to tell the other that Lord Rakshaman had given me the power he said he would. Shimar would no longer come to me. I kept my distance from Bahamut as well...Being a Kantri elder, he would sence the evil in me.

(It would be too much for them.) I had over heard Reil and Trinitys conversation about a Dark Temple. (I can't take much more of this) I put my hands togather and vanished in a small cloud of oily black...finding my self at the foot of Apoyon Mountain in the Aragrav regon. beyond this, the city of the Rakshasaa.

Xian

I laid up in my bed, looking aroud. "Where are the others?" I asked myself, half dizzy. "Mew! Mew!! Meow!!!" Kai exclaimed. "What? Whatever. Let's go find the guys." I got out of bed, stretching, smiling.

Kusanagi

strolls down to the kitchen, "well i guess hes gone then"

grabs himself an apple and walks down to the infirmary and opens the door, "well im glad to see that your up"

Shana

I began the long walk to the City of the Rakshasaa. I had to find this temple they they spoke of. By covering myself in the Black aura and becoming all but pure evil under this new power I planed to sneak in the to the city.

Xian

"Oh!" I was startled by Kusanagi's voice. With my hands still stretching, I turned around, still trying to stand in 1 place, my legs crossed, and I tripped into Kusanagi's arms.

Kusanagi

manages to catch Xian, "whoa, careful now"

Xian

"Well, you startled me. Ever heard of knocking?"

Kusanagi

smiles sweetly "ssoooooorrryyyy"

helps Xian get her balance

Xian

"...so where are the others?"

Kusanagi

"ill explain while we walk"

the two begin to walk and Kusanagi explains everything thats happened from when Xian was in the infirmary to now

the two meet with the others

Xian

"So...Shana's gone?"

Kusanagi

"yeah, and come ta think of it, i can't find Saga either..."

Xian

"....What are we gonna do now...?"

Kusanagi

"i dunno"

turns to Trinity an Reil "whadda we do?"

Trinity

*sighs*"I'm afraid so."*turns to Xian*"But what are you doing up out of bed?"*puts arms on hips*"Oh."*turns to Kusanagi*"Well, Reil wants to go to a temple he's heard about."

OOC: g2g for awhile
Kusanagi

"whaaaaaat, what did i do?"

Xian

"Being an idiot, that's what." I smiled and laughed.

Trinity

"I meant Xian Kusanagi."

Xian

"Anyways, I'm not a little kid. I can stay up past my bedtime."

Reil
I took Trinity's advice and went and got some rest. I had to overcome this fear of sleep. I walked into my room and slumped down onto the bed. All i could think about was the Dark Temple....

Saga

"Hmmm?"I said suddenly."What ish it?"asked Magnus.

"I sense something weird,"I said."Hmm...nhow that yhou mhention iht,I shensed iht thoo,"he said."Let's go to the leg of Shawa-Niekay to have a look,"I said.

We descended at a slow manner.Then,we saw a huge undead army."Crap.Just what we need when we need to get away from the others.Well,can't let them take the mountain,can't we?Well,then let's end this quick.Combo skill time,"I said and flamed up my sword.

I leapt at the army and Magnus shot a huge jet of shining golden flame which engulfed my sword in a more blazing flame and I waved my sword horizontally with all my strength and sent the jet of golden flame at the zombies.A huge bang was heard and the undead was no more to be seen."Well,that's what you call a prominence,"I said cockily.

Noices came from the mountain peak."Holy crap,let's get the hell outta here before anybody spots us,Magnus!"I said.I leapt on Magnus' back and we took off to the clouds and Shawa-Niekay was nowhere to be seen in a matter of seconds."Sometimes having a dragon with the speed of mach 3 for a freind has it's uses,heh."

Bahamut
I sensed a very unsettled atmoshpere within the monastary. I worried over Reil. I had heard of his visions and the voice. My previous master had the very same visions, he did as the visions and voices told him, but that is where he perished.
I stood outside the main door, pondering whether or not to tell Reil about my previous master. If i told him, it could endanger the lives of many, however, if i didn't tell him, then he puts his own and the rest of the groups lives' at high risk.
I began to think of the visions Reil had, and thought about the name; Nefasturris. *If i remember rightly, this was the ultimate power that binds all Hell and all it's demons to one dimension, then destroys it and itself. It's name translates from ancient Latin: Tower of Ultimate Destruction.
The ritual is what worried me the most. It would mean Reil being the main inhabitant of Nefasturris. The Nefasturris itself, would be me. It is the ultimate in trust between Man and Beast, having to merge for good.
*If i am correct, the Inhabitant, or Reil, in this case, would lose all memories, except from the last 5 minutes before the merge.*

I became seriously concerned. It would mean the end of Reil, but i would survive through my True Spirit. I would just turn dark, like Reil found me in the temple. I hadn't been cleansed for years until Shimar did. That reminded me, *Where is Shimar?*

Trinity

*kneels down and looks up at Xian putting my hands on her arms, smiling*"I know you're not a little kid. You are growing into a fine young woman Xian. I just worry for you. Is that so wrong?"

OCC: If Bahamut want to talk to Shimar, they can do it through True Speach even though Shimar is not presant. But Shana will nolonger be able to speak with him

PS: the bottom are some pics im useing to portrymy sene. I found them on the net including a pic of Rakshasa and info on them...this is the site: http://www.coveworld.net/eberron/jhonen.html

Dark Shana (Hes useing the dark aura)

Gigantic doors of a black stone bard my way into the city. I went to them and knocked. "Who gose there" I heard an orc call out. "Open the doors, creatures of filth" "Yes sir" I walked in not stoping to look at the 7ft monster gaurding the gate. (I must get to the Temple and find this tablet) I thought as I walked in the streets of this City.
======================================== ========================
Rakshasa: In their natural forms, rakshasas resemble tigers--the vicious, striped felines that are said to stalk the jungles of Q'barra--given humanoid form. They might be mistaken for an exotic breed of lycanthrope, if not for their hands, which seem to have been stitched to their wrists backwards. They are, in fact, demons who were born at the dawn of Eberron. Before our age, they fought the couatl, noble feathered serpents, to the brink of mutual extinction. Now the rakshasas as a race are believed to be trapped beneath the Demon Wastes.



Rakshasas are gifted shapeshifters with a penchant for deception. Indeed, rakshasa masterminds may still secretly manipulate certain humans and humanoids. Some cults and conspiracies, such as the Dust Lords, are said to possess rakshasa agents. The Church of the Silver Flame zealously investigates any such rumors, striving to ensure that an alliance of fiends never gathers the strength to reclaim this world.

Xian

I smiled. "That's the thing that bothers me..."

Trinity

*confused*"That I worry about you. That bothers you?"

Xian

"Not exactly...Well..." I twiddles my fingers. "How can I say this...?"

Trinity

*looks at her confused but still smiling*

Xian

"It's like...I can feel your pain...And when you worry about me...I worry about you..."

Kusanagi

"yeah, i get what your sayin"

Xian

I nodded, smiling.

Trinity

*hands go limp and slide off her arms, I look down and tears start to form*"But...but why would you worry about me? Is something wrong with me? Am I doing something to make you worry? If I do..I'm sorry."

Reil
As i slept, i felt calm. I hadn't felt this calm for a long time. I eventually fell into a deep sleep.

Bahamut
I spoke through the Speach of Truth to find Shimar,
{Where do you be, Shimar?}

Xian

"No! It's not like that! I can just...feel your sorrow..." I ran up and hugged him.

Trinity

*a small smile appears*"There isn't much sorrow anymore, not since I have you."My arms remain to hang limp and I stay on my knees.

Saga

When we went on,we saw a few other gold dragons."Lord Magnus!Have you seen Hades?He just passed by!I was a little surprised that he didn't kill us..."one of them said.

"Ihndeed ah have,ahnd ah think that he's lhooking fhor tha Silver Dragon.He whant's revenge,"said Magnus."Well,we'll look for Madame Marianna and do our best to protect her!"They said and took off.

"Madame Marianna?"I asked."It's tha Silver Dragon's name,"said Magnus."So you know where she is?"I asked."Yheah,whe gold dragons kheep tha lohcation ah shecret,sho ah didn't thell thee,"he said.

"Well,apparently you can't keep it a secret anymore.We'll find him with your memory of direction after we're done in the Dark Temple because I think Marianna can wait,"I said.

"Iht'sh MADAME Marianna,have shome respect."

Dark Shana

As I walked through this city, it ocured to me just how much Lord Rakshaman had been bilding up to make his move. Almost every street was filled with blacksmiths makeing wepons of all kinds. The Rakshasa themselvs were formidable sites...Then I saw in the distance, between the tall stone structures, the temple. This massive monument was gaurded by the two biggest and most demonic beast I have ever seen. Two enormous Colossus stood by the gates...each one with massive wings that look like they could blot out the sun forever, their wepons were stone swords...each the size of a galley ship. And on their heads were each four horns and a mane of fire. Their jaws were like the cave of hell, for fire spewed out when they breathed. (How could I, never mind Reil, getr into such a place) I thought as I came to the front. Just beeing in their presance was enough to make my ill...one of them looked down at me, seemed to breath in the aura surounding me and said in a voice like fire crackling"Thy master awates" and the doors opened (He is NOT my master) I tried to tell my self as I disapierd into the temple.


Shimar

The loss of Shana was a heavy burden on my heart...never befor had I felt such paine as to lose a freind that was so close to me in spirit. As I lay in my chamber of gold, the voice of Bahamut called up to me. {Where do you be, Shimar?} {I am here...in the place where I rest} I knew Bahamut would stay true as an elder. {What is there that I may do Elder?}

Bahamut
I heard Shimar reply, so i decided to go and find him.
Eventually, i found Shimar, laying on the ground. He seemed to have a very sorrowful expression.
{Shana has left for a good purpose, i'm sure.} i spoke.
{But he was so close to me....} Shimar replied.
{Do you have any idea where he has gone?} i asked.

Xian

"Please...Don't worry about it..." I smile as my eyes met with his.

Trinity

"Can't help it...*sniffle*...I love you..."*more tears come*

Xian

I put my arms around him. "...please don't cry..."

Trinity

"I'm not crying...you are. Thes etears are yours that I'm shedding...for you..."*bring arms up slowly and puts them around her*

Xian

"Don't mourn for me..."

Trinity

"Mourn...I do not. You are not dead...you're right here...with me...that's all I could ever ask for."

Xian

"No more...No more tears..."

Trinity

"C...can't help it...so happy you're here...with me."*holds her closer*

Xian

"It's ok..." My voice faded.

Trinity

"I know. Everything's ok now."*puts head on her shoulder*

Xian

"Don't ever...become distant..." I closed my eyes.

Trinity

"No...never..."*kisses her neck as tears stream out*

Xian

"Good..." My body went limp and it almost seemed as if I passed out.

Trinity

I feel her body give weigh and it lays in my arms as if she was asleep"You...ok?"

Xian

"........"

Trinity

"...Xian?"*picks up head and looks at her*"Xian?"

Xian

I gave a slight moan.

Trinity

*eyes widen*"Xian?!"

Xian

I moaned again.

Trinity

"Xian!"

Xian

I started to squirm to get out of his grasp.

Shimar

{I beleave he has gone to the City of the Rakshasa...to the temple.}

{WHAT!?!}

Xian

I cried in pain as I continued to struggle to get free of Trinity's grasp.

Trinity

"No! Don't go! I'm here!"* doesn't let her go*

Xian's Dream

"I've come back. Where the hell are you?" I grumbled.
"Good. I came to give you something...I think it will be necessary on your journey." A bright orb appeared in front of me.
"What?" I had a blank face on.
"Something that was hidden deep inside you when you were born."
"I don't understand..."

Trinity

Her body shakes violently as if undergoing a seizure."Don't go! Don't go!"*I held her tightly*

Xian

I continued to yelp and shake.

Trinity

*tears stream*"Please don't go. I don't want you to leave."

Xian

I then started to gasp for air.

Trinity

*sniffling and tearing*"Don't...please don't...I don't want to lose you..."

Xian's Dream

"So...What am I supposed to do with it?" I tried to touch it, but sparks flew if I got too close.
"No! Not like that...Let it come to you!"
"Let it...Come to me...? How the hell...?"
"Just wait..."

Xian

I started to calm down, but my breathing wasn't improving.

Trinity

*the same as before*"Please no...I love you too much... too much to let you go now..."*weeps a bit*

Xian's Dream

I put my hands on the sides of the orb, being sure not to get too close to it.
"...Warm..." I closed my eyes and laid back my head. My body glowed for an instant as the orb entered my body, an aura surrounding it.
"It is done..." The voice responded.

Xian

I screamed in pain as a light aura surrounded my body.

Trinity

*sees and feels the light*"What's this?"

Xian

I arched my back and whimpered. "Ah!" I screamed.

Trinity

*still holds on to her*"I'll be here for you!"

Xian

I felt pain in my shoulder blades. I cried in pain. I could barely whisper my words. "...hurts..." I continued to cry and whimper.

Trinity

"I want to make the pain go away...but I can't. I'm sorry...I'm so sorry!"

Xian

Light shimmered on my back and in an instant, my back was covered in blood by black angel wings, blood lacing and dripping from the ends. I shreiked.

Trinity

*feels the wings come out of her back*"What the...?"

Xian

"...tri...trini...trinty..." I whispered.

Trinity

"Yes, yes I'm here...I'm here for you."

Xian

"It.....hurts..." I squeaked.

Trinity

*puts hand on her head and strokes her hair*"It's ok...it'll go away...it won't hurt anymore...I'm just...so glad that you're still here..."*more tears*

Xian

I felt like I was burning up and I was passing out.

Trinity

"Rest now...you need it...I'll be there with you...whether you know it or not...cuz I love you too much...to let you go..."

Xian

My eyes fluttered, half-opened, glazed. "But...I don't...want to leave...you..."

Trinity

"You won't be leaving. Maybe your mind will...but I will always be there. All you have to do is open your eyes and look to your left..."*smiles a bit*"Now rest..."*kisses her*

Xian

I laid back my head, closed my eyes, and a small smile across my face.

Trinity

"That's right...sleep...you deserve it..."*picks her up and carries her to the infirmary*

Kusanagi

eyes wide open with shock and fear, he follows Trinity to the infirmary

"wi...wings..."

Trinity

*still having tears*"I'm as confused as you are..."*sets her in a bed*

Voice

"Hmmm...This 'Trinity' boy seems to have feelings for you...We should have a little talk..."
"No! Don't do anything to harm him..." I replied.
"Please...You are the one causing him pain..."
"..." I could say nothing.

Trinity

"You can go if you want Kusanagi. As for me...I'm staying here by her side."*sits in the chair next to her bed and thinks*

Voice (talking to Trinity)


"Trinity...What an interesting name..."

Trinity

I sit up and look around. "Who's there?" My hand hovered over the hilt of my sword just in case.

Kusanagi

leans up against a wall and eyes Trinity "...what is it"

Trinity

*relaxes*"Thought I heard something. Guess it was nothing."

Kusanagi

"I wouldent be so sure, think about it, Shana left because he got possesed or somethin, Reil's ranting on about some dark temple, and Xian just sprouted wings...you see where im goin?"

Voice

"You can't see me...But I'm here...In your mind..."

OOC: what time is it in the RP?

OOC: Ummm...I guess it'll be a very long night. :D Somewhere close to morning, I believe...

Trinity

*jumps up*"Now either my mind is messin with me or I did hear something..."*looks around again*

Voice

"So...you care for her, do you...?"

OOC: ok, thanks
Griffin

mumbling to himself "its probably bout 7am"

counts with his fingers "5 hours till noon"

looks out the window

Trinity

*talks to the voice*"Yes...I do. Who wants to know?"

Voice

"She has great power...Power you and she doesn't know of..."

Kusanagi

looks at Trinity but doesn't interfere

Trinity

"So? Are you trying to warn me of something?...or are you trying to push me awya from her? Cuz it won't work!"

Voice

"Will you always stay close to her...? Even if she may kill you...?"

Trinity

*glares around the room, still not knowing where the voice is from*"What are you getting at? To answer your questions, yes, I will. Always..."

Reil
As my eyes slowly opened, i saw the sun rising just over the window sill.
"Morning already?" i whispered to myself. I sat up on my bed and picked up my breast plate and weapons.
"Better get ready for the journey..." i said to myself.
I stood up and put all of my gear on. I walked over to the door and turned the handle to open it, but it wouldn't open.
"Locked?" i pondered, i tried again, but to no avail. I knocked on the door and called out for someone, but nobody responded. I began to panic, *They can't be....all dead...?* i began to think. I took two steps back from the door and barged through the door. The door flew to the other side of the corridor.
I ran down to the corridor to the infirmary and came across Kusanagi,
"Kusanagi! I thought you'd all being killed, my dorm door was locked..." i said.

Bahamut
I heard Shimar's response, and it instantly sparked fear into my mind.
{WHAT?! He must not enter that Temple! He is not strong enough nor mindful enough..}
I rushed into the monastary to find Reil, for he was to be the one to stop Shana.
*I can't enter the Dark Temple again....* i thought

Dark Shana

The corridor was a vast labrinth of stone. I knew better than to waste time on the sites, (This Tablet that Reil spoke of must be deep in this Labrinth) I thought as I walked past images on the walls. My aura covering me like a shroud, was what kept me from beeing spoted by the endless hoard outside. But inside...not a single soul was to be seen. A thought suddenly came to mind,(If Reil comes...How will He get past the two Demonic Colossus) Its was only because I was coverd with an aura from Rakshaman, that I wasn't obliveated at the doors.

Voice

"Hmmmm...I see...You know she's not...human, correct?"

Trinity

*hesitates*"Not...human? Wh-what do you mean? What lies are you putting in my head?"*unsheathes sword and holds it, shaking*

Voice

"She's only half human...She told you about the chimera's, I'm sure...?"

Trinity

"Y-yes...what about them?"

Voice

"She's one of the rare chimera's...and the last of her race...Her whole village...The place she was born...All destroyed..."

Trinity

*lets up on tension*"She's a...chimera?..."*gets on guard again*"Why are you telling me this? What is the prupose of this conversation?"

Voice

"Am I scaring you? I would hope so...Heh...I tell you this because this information may save your life...She isn't herself anymore, now that I have awoken her true essence..."

Kusanagi

puts up his hand to Reil, "shut up man"

Trinity

*hands tighten on hilt*"What you're saying doesn' frighten me a bit. It maybe some news to me, but you're not gonna make me distance my self from her. I will stand by her till the end, you hear me?!"

Kusanagi

"till the end..."

Voice

"Stubborn, this one..."

Trinity

*laughs but then gets a serious face*"You know it..."

Voice

"Take heed in my warning...Trinity..."

Trinity

"...whatever..."I say bluntly.

Kusanagi

walks to the foot of Xian's bed

Trinity

*eyes shift to Kusanagi*"What's on your mind?"

Reil
Kusanagi held his hand up to me and told me to be quiet, then i saw Xian in bed, looking slightly paler than before.
"Something's wrong..." i said, i saw Trinity sat next to the bed in a chair. I walked to the side of Xian and looked around,
"Wings, black angel wings..." i muttered. I used both my hands to open her eyes,
"Don't worry guys, she won't feel a thing." i said. I looked deep into her eyes, all i could see was a shimmering glow, and very little soul. I was looking into her mind, to try to find out what was wrong. I saw scars all over the place, emotional scars...I didn't look any deeper, i couldn't.
I closed her eyes and left her to rest.
"Demonic, yet human..." i said, "...and very dangerous."

Saga

We reached a temple.Magnus said that this is the Dark Temple.I tried to open the door but it wouldn't barge.Magnus used all his might but to no avail."Dammit,I'll get exhausted if we use another combo skill today,now what do we do?"I asked.

OOC: SB, have you been reading my posts? I'm up with my sword out because of a voice. I'm not in the chair anymore.

OCC:Where is this in realation to the map? This temple is in the city of the Rakshasa...a live city My last post was This massive monument was gaurded by the two biggest and most demonic beast I have ever seen. Two enormous Colossus stood by the gates...each one with massive wings that look like they could blot out the sun forever, their wepons were stone swords...each the size of a galley ship.

Dark Shana

As I walked the lonely halls I started geting the feeling that somone was whatching me...somone or somthing supernatural

Xian

I turned over in my bed, slightly whimpering.

Trinity

"Xian?" I go to the side of her bed and kneel so that my head is level with hers."Are you awake???" I wait for a response.

Xian

My eyes opened only a little. I could barely make out Trinity's face, waiting for my vision to adjust.

Kusanagi

sighs in relief

Trinity

I take in a lot of breath and sigh in relief. "Oh thank God you're alright. How are you feeling Xian?" I put my hand on one of her cheeks.

Xian

"A...little sore, but...I'll live..." I smiled.

Kusanagi

falls to the floor smiling, "well congratulations Xian, you've officially succeeded at scaring the crap outta me" *chuckles*

Xian

"I'll check that off...On my list..." I coughed, laughing.

Kusanagi

leans up against the bed and smiles at Xian "glad ta see your alright"

Xian

I looked back at Trinity. "It...spoke to you...didn't it...?"

Trinity

*looks down*"Yes...it did. What was it? That spoke to me...is it a part fo you or something? It gave me information about you that I did not know before..."

Kusanagi

sits, head back on the bed, and listens

Xian

"First of all...Don't believe it...Told me so many lies...I couldn't handle it...I've been hearing it since I was really small...I always ignored it, never telling anyone about it...Not even Mother, but now......"

Trinity

"Are you starting to take it into consideration?" A worried look comes over my face as I look into her eyes.

Xian

"Possibly...Though...What could I do...?" I took the covers and pulled them over my head. "Ugh...Best not to think about it..."

Trinity

I took one hand over the covers and then pulled them down as to see her face, a smile on mine. "Do not worry...I am here for you..." I took my other amr and layed it under her and then brought my body froward as to hug her while she lay in her bed.

Xian

As he hugged me I smiled. "And I'm always grateful for that..."

OOC: Sorry Heero, i forgot you had that sword in ya hand..

Reil
I watched Trinity hug Xian, i was glad that at least somebody had some companionship.
"I don't know if she'll be strong enough for today's journey.." i said, "Maybe i should go alone, to the Dark Temple."
Just as i finished my sentence, Bahamut walked in, looking rather concerned,
"Reil, Shana has journeyed to the Dark Temple. We must stop him before the Lord reaches him." Bahamut explained, "and you know what you must do." he continued. I stepped back in shock,
"So be it, i must go, i don't think Xian would be strong enough to come." i said, preparing myself, making sure i had everything i needed.

Xian

"Wait a sec! You can't go alone!" I quickly sat up, then winced. "I'm fine!"

Reil
I turned back,
"Xian, you're in great pain. I admire your courage and determination, but one day that will the death of you. I don't want that day to come. So, stay and rest --" i was interrupted

Xian

My muscles tensed up, as sore as they were. I looked back up at Reil and whispered; "What's wrong...?"

Reil
I looked at Xian, she whispered to me, but i couldn't understand why she was whispering. I whispered back,
"Nothing's wrong, why are you keeping quiet?"

Xian

I tried to speak, but all that came out was a small squeak. "Ah!" I held my throat.

Reil
I saw Xian trying to speak, but she couldn't,
"Xian?" i asked, then i saw her grab her throat, as if she was choking, "XIAN!! You're not dying in front of me.." i said,
i quickly lay her down and tilted her head back, cleared her airways, all the first aid i knew, i tried....
suddenly she calmed, i felt something in the air, and all of a sudden Xian looked at me. Her eyes were beckoning me to her, closer, closer. Next thing i knew, i was nose to nose with her,
"Don't forget who you love, my....black.....angel..." i spoke, and slowly kissed her lips.
The air changed again, and i jumped off the top of Xian and stared at her...

Xian

I tasted blood rushing out my mouth, coughing it up.

Reil
I rushed back over to her, watching her cough up blood. I couldn't stop her. I had to do something, then i thought of my dark power.
I placed my hand over her throat, and closed my eyes. I saw a blackness within, some form of dark soul, something trying to break out.
"Get out!!!" i shouted at the top of my voice, i felt the soul leap into me....
My body convulted, i could feel both my soul and the other fighting, battling for supremacy, eventually, my dark soul kicked in. My eyes shot open and i scremed in pain, the dark indigo aura returned over me. I could feel it taking over, killing the alien soul that leapt into me...

Trinity

As all this happened, thoughts ran through my mind.*"What is oging on? Who was Reil referencing to when he said 'don't forget who you love'? Why did he kiss her? What powers does he really have?*I was just there, motionless, speechless, with concern yet anger at the same time.

Xian

I was having cold sweats all over, my breathing labored.

Dark Shana

In A large Chamber,gaurded by stone beasts, I saw an Idol from wich a voice said to me "Welcome...Last of the Shanara Mages" "Rakshaman!"

Reil
I fell to the floor, a couple of seconds later, i stopped convulting.
I sat up and shook my head, i rubbed my forehead with my hand, trying to sooth the remaining pain.
I could see my aura die down again, i guess my soul had won over the alien one..
I stood up and rushed straight over to Xian. I could see she was sweating, and had delayed breathing. I checked her heart beat, that seemed to be normal. I checked her throat again, but this time there was nothing there.
I leant over to her ear,
"Xian.....Xian.....can you hear me?" i whispered, "it's time to wake up." i continued.
I decided it was time to pass over some of my strength to revitalise her health a little. I placed my hands on her temples of her head and chanted,
*Is vitirus aracanum vitalus*
Her mouth began to open as she took a deep breath in as i felt part of me drain out.
"Welcome back.." i said to Xian.

OK,Yu-Yevon,two beasts,huh?I'll try to play along...(if that's fine by you)

Saga

Suddenly,we hear something move behind us.We turned around and saw the two statues come to life.Wordds can't desribe their appearanece,perhaps only one word,terrifying.

One of them drew out it's sotne sword and bashed it in our direction.I tried to catch it but the statue was far stronger than me and I went headfirst into the ground.Magnus breathed a few balls of fire at them,but they just covered their wings around themselves and the fire deflected off them.

"We need to retreat,"I tod msagnus.

Xian

"Man...Gimme 5 more minutes..."

Outside the temple
==============

The Temple gaurd were as composed as statuse when Saga came...It wasn't untill he banged on the door that their firey maine litup and their eyes themselvs spewed fire. One slashed down with its piller sized sword...If he were anyother human he would hsve been crushed. The might of the gaurds forced Saga and Magnus to seek shelter in an alley. once away the two towering creatures stoped and stood at the door once again.


Dark Shana

"You will not take my body again Rakshaman" I saw an enormous slab of stone siting behinde him on the wall. "Its the talbet you want isn't it? Well? what are you waiting for?" Somthing did not feel right about this...

Reil
Xian asked for more time,
"Gee, how much more do you need? You've had most of the night..." i replied.

Trinity

I stood...in the corner...motionless. I did nothing when this happened. Fear and depression crept into me. I left the room with no one noticing and went down the long, dark hallways to where no one could find me...I wanted to be alone to think...to think about how things wouldn't work out as he'd planned...how oblivious he was to the possibility that Xian might not love him in return.

Xian

I giggled, then pulled the covers over my head once again. I reamurged and noticed Trinity was missing. "...Trinity?"

Dark Shana

I could see a void of aura starting to form around my own...not even knowing it, I called out to Reil...{If your power is what is needed for this tablet...then now is a good time to intervean}

Trinity

As I went down those lonely halls, tears fell everywhere. They came from me. At the presence of those thoughts in my mind, they brought nothing but extreme sadness.

OOC: Wrong person, Heero. :D

Reil
i sensed a very disturbing atmosphere in the air. I looked around for Trinity, but he'd obviously left...then i thought about what happened.
"No!..." i muttered, i had the urge to find him, but i couldn't, i had to tell him that it wasn't me who kissed Xian.
Thoughts began racing through my mind,
*It wasn't me, but he didn't see it that way, all he saw was me ontop of Xian kissing her.....damn it...what's he going to do?....i already know about Xian....all i wanted was her to rest......i should have left when i could....*

OOC: I must be tired.

Xian

"And now they're gone..." I said with a smile. Then I remembered about Kusanangi. I looked at him, next to the bed, fast asleep. I patted his head. "Tee-hee. Like a fuzzy little chick..."

Dark Shana

I was getting scared {Reil find thy way here with hast!}

OOC: You're tired? it's 4:22am where i'm at, i'm getting tired..


Reil
I walked back into the room, failing to find Trinity.
"ah! you're up then.." i said as i looked at Xian, but as i looked up my eyes widened, "Xian....uhh...you might wanna put some clothes on...." i turned back and walked to the door. "Don't worry, i guess i already took a good 'peek'" i said with a chuckle

Dark Shana

{REIL!!} The aura was over powering mine "Its as I said...son and heir to Shanaras power...you will be mine."

Xian

"Ah...Uh..." Very calmly, I took oone of my pillows and threw it at Reil. I covered myself with the blanket. "Man, this can't be happening...Again, nontheless..."

OOC: Yu, i'm adding a rule in, the speach of truth can't be heard from places such as you're in at the minute. The dark powers surrounding are too heavy for it to get through so far.

Reil
I felt the pillow thwack me in the back of the head.
"Hey!" i called, trying to refrain from turning around, but i did anyways.
"Oh, a very unusual dress there...." i said sarcastically..

Xian

"Mmmm..." I pointed to him. "You saw nothing, got it?" ;)

Reil
I felt the air change again.
I walked over to Xian, close up.
"Of course not....it's our little secret, right?" i whispered, as i got closer. It was like i was suddenly attracted to Xian. I could feel her breath..

Xian

"And...Ummmm...If you do it again. I'll really hurt you!"

Trinity

I found a dead end and went in it. It was dark, no one would be able to see me even if they were in the same area. I sat donw in the corner, tears streaming out of my face. It seems that at this rate I'd be dehydrated after a while. My face was red from the crying. It seems that no hope was left for me...not anymore.

OCC: got ya...and it makes sence too

Dark Shana

My only hope was to telaport out of the city and back to Shawa-neikay. In an istant two things happend. One, Rakshaman let out a roar of anger. second was the view of the room in wich Xain was in "Help me..." before falling uncontous. My body was like ice.

PS: shana no longer is wairing his cloak

Reil
"Oooo...hurt me?..you want to hurt me? --" i was interrupted by a body falling to the floor.
The air changed back again. I quickly stepped back from Xian and examined the body.
"It' s cold..." i turned the body over, "..it's SHANA?!?!" i exclaimed. I took off my clothing and armour and wrapped him up to warm him, leaving me topless.

Trinity

"How stupid I was! To believe that she would've ever love me! She's been with the others longer...surely she has developed feelings for one of them...there's no use hoping or even trying anymore." The tears came faster.

OOC: i'm gonna go guys! i need some sleep myself. g'nite all!

Xian

"Shana?!" My eyes widened in fear. "Is he ok?!"

Kusanagi

wakes with a start, "whoa, can't believe i fell asleep"

gets up and looks around to see Xian covering herself, Trinity gone, and Reil tending to Shana!?

"oh crap, ok, wud I miss?"

Trinity

I could barely speak through all the sadness and tears in me."There's...no use trying...anymore...I'll just stay...watse away in these halls...alone..." My cries could not be heard since no one was around to hear them...no one.

Xian

"Quite a bit...I'm gonna go find Trinity."

Kusanagi

quickly turns head

"clothes...first"

Trinity

I didn't want to move...there was no point in it anymore. I might as well just end it all right here. My mind was blocking me from God and His word. I thought of nothing else but despair and death since there wa snothing to live for anymore. I couldn't even bera to breathe as it was so hard now.

Xian

"....Right...Heheh..." I slowly walked to my bag, the blanket still draped over me, and I picked out some random clothing. I pulled the blanket over my whole body, and got dressed under that. As I put on the top, my wings seemed to go right through the clothing. "Well, that's helpful, I guess..." I mumbled. I ran out the door and wandered down the halls, calling Trinity's name.

Kusanagi

"well, thats weird, i guess" he mumbles

he takes a look at Shana, but sees that Reil has it covered

so he takes off down the hall after Xian

OOC: Already out the door...

OOC: HA!, changed it before u posted:D

OOC: Evil...:grumble:
Xian

"Trinity?!!? Where are you!?!"

who me?:)
Kusanagi

finally catches up to Xian

Trinity

I could hear a voice...calling my name...far off in the distance. I couldn't recognize the voice so I dind't know who it was. "Heh...must be my imagination..."

Yes, and i'm going to bed. :D
Xian

"Trinity! C'mon! Answer me!!! I know your still here..."

goodnight:D
Kusanagi

goes down a corridor opposite Xian that eventually leads to a dark dead end. He turns around, about to go back when he hears a slight wimpering, he turns back and calls out "Trinity? that you bud?"

Trinity

I hear a voice close by, and I stop crying, stop breathing. I don't want anyone to find me...I just want to be alone to to delve in the graveness of my life.

Kusanagi

thinks to himself *he's here, i can see his soul somewhere in there*

he takes a deep breath, closes his eye's, and walks into the darkness.

after a minute he suddenly stops, he raises his hand to the side and brings it down. His hand lands with a light thud on top of Trinity's head, Griffin opens his eyes and looks in Trinity's direction, "hey there Trinity"

Trinity

"Go...away...I'm not worth talking to..." I smack his hand off my head.

Kusanagi

"awww come on" takes a seat beside Trinity "it's Xian isen't it"

Reil
As i took care of Shana, Xian and Kusanagi rushed off to find Trinity. Then i suddenly realised what Kusanagi said, "Oh crap, ok, wud i miss?"...his words echoed through my mind,
*He's going to think that i'm getting with Xian too!! Damn it...How do i get outta this one?....The 'It wasn't me' answer doesn't seem like it's going to pass Trinity on this occasion..* i thought.
I draged Shana to the chair where Kusanagi was sat, and sat Shana in it, wrapped up. I wondered if Shana could hear me through the Speach of Truth,
{Shana, do you hear me?} i asked.

Xian

"Oh...I'll never find him this way...TRINITY!" I called, walking down the halls aimlessly. "Trinity!" I continued to call. I then noticed Kusangi wasn't with me anymore. "...Kusanagi...? Where'd he go now?" I went back the other way.

Trinity

"Heh...you got that right...but it's not your concern so you shouldn't even bother with me..."*turns away*

Xian

I continued to walk down a dead end. "Where am I...?" I then hit something with my foot, and heard a small yelp. "Trinity? That you?"

Reil
*I hope Xian knows what she's saying and doing...* i thought to myself.

Trinity

*sighs and is still tearing*"Yes...you found me..."*tunrs back to everyone and is facing the corner*

Xian

I dropped on my knees and hugged him. "I was so worried! You just left. I was scared for you..."

Trinity

"You worried? Hah! That's a laugh..."*tears still coming but doesn't try to get her off*

Xian

"Is that a problem?" I gave a pissed off, yet concerned look.

Trinity

"No, no...not at all...just...hard to believe right now..."*more tears come*

Xian

I smiled. "Crying again?" I put my head on his shoulder.

Trinity

*gives a faint but sad smile*"You know it..."*sniffle*

Xian

Slowly, I kissed his cheek. "You've never been like this..."

Trinity

"It's hard not to be...when you have major doubts and thoughts that would make you want to kill yourself..."*tears start to stream again*

Xian

"No! None of those thoughts..."

Trinity

"Why not? It seems fitting now since all that has happened..."*tears go faster*

Xian

"What happened? C'mon...Stop crying...I'm here..."

Trinity

*tears don't stop*"You may be here...but that changes nothing...I was there...I was there when Reil kissed you...I was there...I was there when Kusanagi had a conversation with you...one that made me doubt..."*cut off sentence there*

Xian

"What...Do you mean...? I don't remember that...But even though it did happen...It's in the past now..." I put my hand on his cheek.

Dark Shana

I was barly awake but enogh to move slowly so I could raise my head...I could see Reil looking at me though I could hear nothing.

(Shana is still frozen, so he wont be able to speak or hear for the time being. But he can move slowly...these are the effects of Rakshamans aura.)

Trinity

*moves cheek away fro her hand*"I don't know what to believe anymore..."*curls up a bit*

Xian

"Why do you act cold to me?"

Trinity

"I am too unsure about things...about you...about me...about you and me...I just don't know what to think or believe...about any of it."*more tears come*

Xian

"...you unsure about me? Is it wrong for me to be here?"

Kusanagi

moves off into the shadows, to leave Xian and Trinity alone.

he smiles and begins to speak softly and slowly, "5...4...3"

Xian

"Am I...a burden...? If I am...I'm sorry......" I tried to not cry.

Dark Shana

I tried to say somthing to Reil but nothing came out except a frost. I slumped in the chair and tried to get up...no good. (I don't feel any different than normal...so why is it so hard for me to move? Could it be my aura?)

OOC: An update on Reil's appearance. I drew a new pic of him, since my drawing has slightly improved since this thread started...back in the day..

Reil
I could see Shana raise his head, slowly. He wasn't right yet, he tried to speak, but all that came out was a puff of frost.
"..hmm...Try to stay still, Shana. I'm going to try a heat magic." i said, as i picked up Shana's book of spells. I opened straight to a fire spell, but that would have been a little to harsh,
*All i need is a Heat Aura...* i thought, then, whislt flicking through the pages, i found it.
I held Shana's forehead and chanted the words from the book. I could feel the heat slowly build up around him...

OOC: I just found out that Heero is gonna be gone until Thursday :(, so I'm gonna have to try to go a little slow with this...

OOC:I have exams now,so I'll come only once in a few days.

Saga

We quickly retreated into the mountains.The statues,seeing that we left,didn't give chase."Phew,that was close,"I said.

OOC: Yep, I won't be able to be on except during sometimes during school until Thursday. Sorry. :(

Trinity

"You are no burden..."I cut off there for a moment and then I started again."You are...my love...but I doubt that love now and I doubt other things as well..."

Dark Shana

Reil found my Book and began finding a spell to help. Finding what he thought was good enough... He but his hand on me and chanted. I don't know whay but I felt this heat pouring into me...(I don't feel could so why a heat spell?) I thought, but as my body became more movable I was glad for it. I no longer felt Rakshamans aura on me...but my dark aura was still keeping me coverd, I didn't feel safe without it anymore. "Reil...The temple...Its gaurded by...Two Colossal Demons. By their sent...I could tell that they were from the sixth circle of the seventh hell. But...the tablet...Rakshaman....." My throat was starting to throb with paine.

Xian

"You doubt...But if you doubt...Then what good is our love...?" I held him more tightly.

Reil
I listened to what Shana had to say, but he started to struggle.
"I can't remember how i got in there before...all i remember is waking up next to my dead dragon.." i said, trying to recollect memories.
"It may be best if you rest a while for now, you have been through a lot lately." i suggested.

Trinity

"Our love? Did it even exist? Was mine ever returned? I don't know anymore...can't remember anything like that...all I see is distance and others who desire to be with you..."*curls up a bit more*

Reil
I decided it best to put Shana in the bed with the heavy covers over him.
I laid him in the bed,
"Right, you should be okay for a while. I'm gonna try and find the others.." i told Shana. He slowly nodded and closed his eyes.
I had to resolve the thoughts that may have been running through their heads about me. It was about time the truth was told.
I walked out of the room and down the long corridor. I could hear the voices of the three of them, but i couldn't see them, it was so dark. I listened closer and harder, trying to follow the direction of the sound. Eventually, after echoes leading me astray, i tripped over something and landed on Kusanagi.
"Oh sh...." i said as i fell, "Hey, Kusanagi, sorry about that.." i apologised. I could just about make out Trinity curled up in the corner, it looked like my predictions were right....

Dark Shana

I dosed off for a breaf anount of time befor waking. I wasnt going to let a bad throat stop me from completing my own task. I got out of bed after a short rest and walked to the door...just to see Bahamut standing right in fromt of it! I recoiled back a few feet and stood there. Bahamut gave me a very stern look. {What do you think your up to?} I didn't anwser {You and I need to talk}

Xian

"Those conversations we had...The many words we spoke...The tears we shed...together...All of it wasn't love...? I feel like we were mean't for each other, but...My feelings...it's like they're in pieces...I've heard your words that you said you would never let me go...You said you never wanted to lose me...Well...I'm not going to let you go...I'm not gonna lose you..." I started to cry, but I was silent.
