Empress Padme Posted July 21, 2007 Author Share Posted July 21, 2007 " Yes i believe the flirt will be joining us." Lily looked at Owecyn and blushed." I hope you are as quick with a bow and arrow as you are with words." Lily smiled. Roy groaned ' This is gonna be a LONG journey 'he thought to himself. " Well if everybody is done talking I suggest we head to the village nearby and get some food and supplies." Roy told them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeDoe 2.0 Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 "You stole my words princess" exclaimed Erames, "the nearby village of Esse should be around here, it's a cozy little town, but I may suggest that you do not fly there, because that will draw attention to ourselves." He took out a long cloak from his traveling pack, "I suggest you wear this my lady, to keep a low profile on the village" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starmark2k Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Stermir ran up the great marble steps towards the palace doors, he ran behind a few other legionnaires who would on occasion turn and fire an arrow. They were being chased by the dark hordes that had almost fully infested the Capital city of man. Stermir turned and launched an arrow at the hordes following him, his arrow hit true between the eyes of a large Orc. The gate to the Crystal Palace was open letting in all the Legionnaires it could to better protect the king. Only when Stemir had reached the top of the Marble steps and entered the palace had the gates closed. “What are you doing? There may still be men out there.” Stermir complained looking at one of the Captains. “If we open the gate now, the very palace will become tainted by those creatures very presence.” The Captain replied. Stemir looked around the large lobby of the palace, there must have only been one hundred legionnaires to have made it this far. Some had already begun to brace the gate while others stood or sat trying to make sense of the situation. The Captain stood atop some steps to make himself more Noticeable to the other men and looked at the soldier. “You lot over there, go don to the basement and protect the refugees.” The Captain of Arothrif ordered and turned to look at Stermir and the legionnaire around him. “You ten follow me to the thrown room. The rest remain here and do not let those beasts pass you… For the king!” “For the King!” All the Legionnaire called in unison as they did what they were told. Stermir and the other nine legionnaires ran up the stairs to follow the Captain and protect the King of men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empress Padme Posted July 21, 2007 Author Share Posted July 21, 2007 Lily took the cloak." Thank you , Erames. You are right a flying elf would draw attention." She paused and went over to Owecyn and whispered." You say you know elves, then you know that we can hear thoughts every now and then. Yes I would forsake my immortal life if I fell in love with a human. For love ,I would give up all eternity for a short time , if it was a Man. Life as a Sky Elf is lonely so detached from the rest of the world. It is very likely I will mate with a human.It runs in my family. My favorite aunt fell for a human. I know it is hard for an elf when a human mate dies. She died of heartbreak not long after her male husband's death. Thats why I was so sheltered they don't want history repeating itself, espicially in this age of war. But I must and will follow my heart. Who knows it may be you, Erames , or someone else on this journey. Not that hammerhead wizard though...scary." Lily then headed for the village of Esse. Roy and the men followed behind her.

JoeDoe 2.0 Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 "This very much reminds me of the journey my late father when on" said Erames all of the sudden to the princess, "he always said 'A real man needs to fight just once in his life for something he truly believes in, and only if he's ready to die for it', I can now say that I fully understand what he really ment" he looked at the sky,"when I was younger, I thought he was a little crazy, and didn't pay much attention to what he used to say..."

Dodgy Dez gave it to me! For a nickle! He said it'd be alllllll mine! Guess not! Let me come with you! I'ma wizard! I can do all special stuff and help you! Please I'm begging you!"

Empress Padme Posted July 21, 2007 Author Share Posted July 21, 2007 Lily allowed the wizard to come much to the annoyance of the men. Lily gave Erames her full attention all the way to Esse.It was night when they arrived. They stayed at a local inn. The next morning Lily got up early.She went outside in the halls.She was determined to walk without falling. Nonetheless she kept stumbling. Then she stumbled right into the arms of.....

Empress Padme Posted July 21, 2007 Author Share Posted July 21, 2007 " I used magical sleeping dust to make the guards sleep while I escaped ,but I don't think that counts. I know a little sword-fighting. " Lily said to Erames." Erames is this a suicide mission for you? So you can be with your wife." Lily frowned.She liked Erames but his thoughts troubled her.They were so sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Adidas Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Clickny was up extra early in his room excited by the new surroundings. Everyone could hear him practicing around the Inn. He pointed his staff at the wardrobe and shouted. "Hocus Pocus Trinkly Locust!" Some Locusts started crunching on the wardrobe. He then made them disappear and he jumped gave the wardrobe a kick and it crumbled to pieces. "I am indestructable!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeDoe 2.0 Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 The princess' question striked Erames deeply "I believe we are born for a purpose, and in order to fullfil mine, I decided to go in this journey" he said plainly "I owe a debt to this land that has given me so much, to the people that have become my friends, I really want to protect them from whatever that may harm them, even if it costs me my life" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empress Padme Posted July 21, 2007 Author Share Posted July 21, 2007 " I still feel you have death wish, which is sad for one as hot as yo-" Lily was about to finish her sentence when she heard noises from Clickny's room. ' What in the name of Sky Elves is he doing in there' she wondered to herself. Trying desperately to tell Erames of her feelings for him but the noise from Clickny's room was becoming very distracting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starmark2k Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 The Captain, Stemir and the other legionnaires walked into the Great Throne room of the Crystal palace, it’s roof was high with a large chandelier suspended from it. The walls were covered in artistic stained glass windows and tapestries showing the history of the empire of man. The King sat on his throne with his head in his hand, a lone Hand maiden stood by his side looking as distraught as the king himself. The king raised his head from his hands and looked up at the approaching Legionnaires. “My lord we have come to protect you.” The captain announced approaching him. “Protect me, You’ll merely postpone the inevitable.” The King informed. “The Evil that has swarmed my city has an insatiable hunger for death and chaos.” “Sir if you fool all hope will be lost.” The captain reminded standing before his lord. There was then a large bang, the sound of the palace door finally succumbing to its bombardment. The legionnaires all took out their swords. “Captain I order you to aid those in the lobby.” The king demanded. “But sir you must be protected.” The commander pleaded. “Here or there, it will still meet with the same results.” “But sire what if one breaks through.” “I am not feeble, I can defend myself but leave a lone man if you must.” The king compromised. “Aye, m’lord.” He replied turning to Stemir. “You stay, the rest follow me.” The legionnaires then began to leave leaving Stemir the King and his handmaiden in the throne room. The handmaiden approached the king and kneeled by his throne. “Please My lord we must use the tunnels to escape.” “I shall not leave my dear Jenomden, I shall not flee while my soldier die.” The king replied taken the girl’s hand and patting it reassuring it. At that moment a stain glass window shattered and three Anubi came through it, including the albino leader. The king raised his sword from a sheath within his throne and stermir held his own sword out ready to defend him self and the king as Jenomden ran back away from the beasts. The albino pointed his sword at Stermir and howled ordering his companion to attack Stermir, he wanted the king to die by his own blade. The two Anubi leapt into the air and towards Stermir raising their swords and slashing them don towards the legionnaire. Stermir moved to one side avoiding one blade and raised his own sword to deflect the others, he pushed the clashed blade upwards then quickly counter by stabbing the blade forward into the beasts heart. The second Anubi had corrected himself and began slashing wildly at Stemir, he could only jump back and loosely block the strikes. The Legionnaire then spun on one foot coming to the flank of the anubi soldier and swung his blade into the vile creature back. Spinning once again he turned to look at the king, he was in a struggle with the Albino. At that moment the Anubi commander struck at the Kings chest, the king fell to the floor gasping for air. “Nooooo!!!” Stermir screamed running towards the King’s attacker, With a single strike Stermir beheaded the Albino Anubi with seemingly little ease. Both Stermir and Jenomden kneeled by the Kings body, Jenomdens eyes welled with tears, The king used what strength was left in his body to stroke the girls face. “My dear, I have no heir to lead my people, but you have been like a daughter to me, you shall be queen of man.” He then looked at the legionnaire. “You sir knight shall protect her escape through the tunnels and help her find a way to end the war and banish evil from these lands. Protect her with your life this is my last wish.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeDoe 2.0 Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 "Well, I take that as quite a compliment coming from you, princess" said Erames and patted her in the back (he's a good warrior and all, but when it comes to love he's naive), "I have to get those items now, so I'll be gone for a big part of the day, if you wish you can go with me to the town market, or you could stay here trying to get to know our new members, its you choice" he said as he carried a larged bag on his shoulder, not doubt for the items, "either way I woul recomend that you put on a different type of clothing and that you don't fly if you don't mind" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empress Padme Posted July 21, 2007 Author Share Posted July 21, 2007 " No, I will stay here.Walking up and down the stairs without falling is my next goal." Lily said to Erames.

JoeDoe 2.0 Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 "Excuse me, did you said something Lily?" said Erames, "I was thinking if I needed to buy some upgrades for my current armor because we may enter heavy battle with amny enemies, what kind of things to buy fo the others and for you" he said simply "If you want to stay and try to survive those two you have my condolenses" he said with a laugh, then he went of to the market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starmark2k Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 The king’s life had finally faded leaving nothing more than the empty shell, the new Queen of man gripped the deceased kings hand against her face crying for the loss. Stermir rose and looked over at the door, he could hear the sounds of battle screaming, the clash of blades and the fall of warriors. He turned back to Jenomden. “Come m’lady, we must leave.” “We can’t just go.” The queen cried still clutching the kings lifeless hand. “We must, those were the last order of the king.” He reminded her. “And those are divine and can not be contested, not even by his predecessor.” She reluctantly let go of the elderly mans hand and rose off the ground, she turned to walk towards a candlestick on the wall. Pulling it downwards the wall next to it began to shake and open like a door into a dark tunnel, Stemir grabbed a candle from the wall and walked into the tunnel with Jenomben. It did not take them long to appear out of the basement of a stable just outside the northern wall of the City. Stermir walked out and checked if any of the Evil creatures had came this far north. There were no signs so he went back and helped the queen out of the stable. Both humans approached the nearby horses and mounted them quickly. “No what do we do?” The young girl asked her protector. “We travel through the forest heading for the town of Esse, and prey it is still there.” Stermir replied with doubt in his voice. “Still there?” “This will not be the only place evil will attack if it wishes to destroy man.” He informed bringing a realisation to her new queen. “How far will it take to get there?” She continued questioning. “Three hours if we ride hard and don’t stop for rest.” “Then we ride Esse.” She turned her horse around and whipped the reigns quickly followed by the legionnaire.

JoeDoe 2.0 Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 As soon as Erames left the inn, he relaxed the princess sure scared me with that revelation he though to himself, she needs to stay focus on our objective, as so do I, and that was the hard thruth for in a world of peril, people could not have the luxury of love as long as other people suffered, thats what he believed. Esse was a beautiful city, surrounded by two stone walls that protected the entire city, it's people enjoyed peace, a rare commodity these days. He went to the city's mani market, bought some medical herbs, arranged for horses to be ready when they were bound to departs and bought a beautifully made sword with a very shiny blade, which had a magical indentation on it, a gift for Lily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starmark2k Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 ((OOC- I’m presuming that Esse is a town of man within the same empire as Arothrif.)) The two riders came to the gates of Esse, they were already open and ere allowing people through, word of the attack on Arothrif and the death of the king had not spread beyond the city yet. They trotted their horses through the outer all and quickly found a stable to leave their horses while they go about their business. Stemir and Jenomden walked up to the guard who stood by the inner wall, the guard examined Stermir and smiled. “We don’t get many from the legion around here. What’s your business with Esse?” “I’m here escorting this handmaiden of the king.” Stermir lied “She is here to find some of the town legendary wine.” “Aye. That’s fine, you may enter.” The guard replied as he rung a bell, The bell was a signal for the gate keepers to open it. The large wooden doors slowly opened and the two travellers from Arothrif entered the town when they were out of ear shot of anyone else Jenomdem approached Stermir. “Why didn’t you tell them about the attack.” She asked. “At this time it will do more harm.” He replied. “Word of the fall will cause hope to fail and fear to dominate, and if you are too accomplish your task we must not use our hope. Furthermore you must tell them of your status as queen, word of this could send the armies of darkness our way.” “Then I am thankful you are here to stop me making such errors in judgement.” The queen said softly. “No thanks is necessary, I’m merely doing my duty, to you and the former King.” They both walked into an inn and decided to take a seat and discuss their next move.

Ferc Kast Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Owecyn was leaning against a pillar outside the inn. He was staring towards the sky. I feel there's a reason that I need to be traveling with them. I just don't know why... As if it were a sign to show the necesity of him on this journey, Lily fell on top of him from up in the sky. "I didn't think you felt that way about me." Owecyn said, jokingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
