Kingdom of Evers'ilance

[Kuzmich]

[glow=red]I waited a bit and spoke to Raphael again:

"Great shadow has fallen on our lands. Tataria is a warring country and it wants my land, after it defeats us it will come to you. They worship demons, they have millions of warriors from both earth and hell in their ranks. THe only way we can counter them is by meeting them together, maybe Ris can help us too. There also has been a prophecy that there is a sword that can help us greatly in our troubles, that sword was lost but there is a dragon in the mountains far from here who might know there the sword is. I already prepared my army, it is guarding my capitol, all the outlying villages were ordered to evacuate to the north there are ancient mountain forts there, even civilians can hold a great enemy if he has enough provisions and stays inside the walls. We gonan have to protect the capitol, because thats there the enemy is going to hit us. Can you please send your armies there? If you won't than in the end we will all be dead. My generals will lead my armies i myself am gonna try to find the blades. Send your generals with your legions in, for the old times sake. I am awaiting for your decision. Maybe you shall consider going with me on the quest of getting that blade?[/glow]

 

[Final Warrior]

*The Final Warrior looks at Igor.*

Final Warrior: The blade belongs only to thee, Igor, and because of that, Raphael, nor any of us, can help ye. However, to guard against these foul outlanders, we shall send what might we can spare... my men are out doing many things in the wake of the recent attacks. I hope you understand.

*Inside the Temple of the Whispered, the Council debates amongst itself. Finally, the assumed Head speaks.*

Head Councilmember: I am Tyuvar Unaei, head Councilmember of the Whispered, and founder. You have proven yourself worthy by finding the Temple, but you must undergo the trials to truly become a Knight. Are you willing to give all that you have and want into becoming a Whispered?

*Vox thinks for a bit. He flashsback to his memories of the fights that he's had, the battles that he has fought, and of course, Ris. Finally, he gives his answer.*

Vox: Yes, milord, I am ready.

Tyuvar: I am not your lord, Vox Eladrin. You are you own leader. To prepaer you for the trials, you must first learn the lessons all the Whispereds must learn.

*Vox studies the texts, first with his sightless eyes, then with his hands. He blazes through the lessons easily, learning faster thanany of the Whispereds have. At night, the voice speaks to him, telling him of things that have been, that are, and that will be. He learns from thsi voice and creates, builds, learns. Days pass on. Finally, one day, he is summoned to the Council yet again.*

Vox: What is it that the Coucil wishes of me?

Tyuvar: You have easily passed the first trial, learning in the span of two weeks what many have not for years. Now comes the second trial, Prayer. You are to pray, non-stop, for the next month, fasting for the entirety of it. Beware, Vox. This is where many of our bright students have failed, and doing so, have died. Prepare yourself, Vox, for Prayers begin tomorrow.

*Vox is confident in his abilities to pass this next trial, for he has survived he Great Desert on his own.*

*The Final Warrior musters half of his troops, over 2 million men, into Igor's lands to help protect him. Tyravael raises the Fallen Ones back to help safe-guard the men as well, and Razael calls forth the exiled Demons to keep watch over everything that passes in and out of Evers'ilance and Igor's empire. The Final Warrior and Igor keep in constant contact via thought-speak.*

Igor: Don't you think that have 10,000 Fallen Angels, 10,000 Demon Exiles, and 2 million men is a little overmuch?

Final Warrior: No. My brothers have advised me that if these outlanders are truly who and what you say they are, we must have as much as we can. Do not worry, for every 7 men, there is a paladin of high rank.

Igor: Good, that will help.

 

[Kuzmich]

[glow=red]"This won't be enough, tatatians have 100s of millions. But it will help hold the storm."

As i was leaving Ever'ilance i told Raphael's soldiers to report to the clan council in the capoitol city to get their assigned positions. After that i rode north, i didn't waste my powers to teleport. After few days i was standing near a foot of a great icy peak. I let my horse run free. And teleported to the top of the mountain. Snow was falling ith great strength here. Sky was covered with dark clouds, i created a small ball of fire to both warm me up and produce much needed light, it was hovering few feet over my head. I spotted a cave entrance. I took out my glefa and went into the darkness.[/glow]

 

[SageofShadow]

ooc: quality over quantity Kuz

bot

For the next few weeks, Vox prays nonstop

Vox: ay amdi ual hyasd hifs ing yeway... ay amdi ual hyasd hifs ing yeway...

Vox chants a Khalamayan prayer for strength for weeks before the council members and to theyre astonishment, he isnt hindered by starvation or thirst or distractions or even the voice.

on the 2nd last day of the month, thats when things went wrong

Vox is praying simontaneously but there was a rumble which knocked him off his knees though he still prays not caring about what is aproaching very fast. the tremors continue and the council members look worried then they call the Knights to see what is the commotion

The knights see what it is, a Sand Worm.

The sand worm's length is about 100 metres and its huge gaping maw biting a few Knights

The Knights retaliate instantly yelling and attacking the Sand Worm with precice attacks. the worm keeps moving toward the council chambers

 

[Kuzmich]

[glow=red]I was traveling inside the cave for few days now. The road was going down wards. Finally i saw a marking on a wall, it was a picture of an eye painted in red. I put my hand to it and closed my eyes. I tried to find a lock inside the wall using my second sight. After 10 minutes i found nothing. Finally i took out my glefa put a stone crushing spell over it and stuck the blade right in the middle of the eye. Nothing happened, my magic disappeared. Then i put my glefa away and set on the ground and started meditating, i tried to find the astral projection of the dragon's magical esense. World became dark to me.[/glow]

 

[SageofShadow]

The Sand Worm reaches the council chambers and sweeps its massive head at the councilers and Vox

Vox hears it and leaps into the air still chanting a prayer he quickly draws Devil's Pleasure and changes its shape to a great sword

Vox slices through the Sand Worm still praying, not wanting to give up despite his hunger and thirst

Vox: [glow=red]Mortal needs are killing me...[/glow]

Vox keeps praying as he flips off the sandworm and cuts it in two. the body dissovles into a pile of sand.

Vox goes back to his spot and sits on his knees still praying

 

[Kuzmich]

[glow=red]Finally in the astral world, world of darkness, world there all magic is imprinted i saw a light. It was the dragon, his power was great. I used my magic to push my mind to that power and to speak to him. Finally our minds were connected. I spoke:

"Greetings great dragon, i have come to seek your council."

He responded angrily

"Who are you intruder? Why do you bother me in my sleep?"

"I need to find the blade but let's talk about this after you tell me how to open the door to your chambers"

"I shall tell only a desendant of those who i trusted."

"I am Igor, you trusted my people long ago."

"Yes, i can sense that in your blood. So shall be it youngh warrior i shall open the door"

The red eye began to glow with fire. The whole wall just combusted in the matter of seconds. There was darkness in the opening, i entered and had to cast a breathing spell upon myself for there was little air in here. There was no ventilation in this cave and from what it looked like it was totally isolated for 100s of years. I lighted a small magical light above my head and went farther into the cave.[/glow]

 

[Final Warrior]

*The Councilors are astonished at Vox's ability to pray thorugh anything. The ast days pass. Vox is called back to the Council Chamber, where Tyuvar tells him of his next task.*

Tyuvar: Your training as a Whispered Knight now begins. You shall train with the lowest of the loweest, and as you get better, you shall rise higher and higher into the ranks. You have two months to get as far as you can in our fighting ranks. If you can reach rank B or higher, then you shall quilify as a Knight.

*Vox begins his fights against the 'lowest of the lowest', who actually are much, much, much better than he, although he had defeated a Sand Worm during Prayer. After a few weeks, however, Vox has easily adapted to fighting using his senses. He defeats the ranking leaders of each class, and he finally reaches clas S, the councilors.*

Tyuvar: Welcome, Vox. You have now come to fight the best of the best. If you can defeat me at the end, you shall reign as the new Lord.

*Vox battles on, ever on. He finally reaches Tyuvar.*

Tyuvar: Well then, young Vox. Defeat me in battle and we shall begin a fourth trial that only very few have ever passed.

*Tyuvar and Vox battle for days, resting every other 24 hours. Soon, Tyuvar begins to falter, but Vox remains strong. Finally, Vox defeats Tyuvar.*

Tyuvar: You hae battled like no other. Come... we shall begin your last trial.

*Vox is taken off, into a secret chamber deep within the heart of the castle. He trians for another few weeks, in the arts of magic, stealth, everything. Soon, he becomes a Whispered Knight and takes Tyuvar's place upon the Council. He reads many of the old texts and learns of the fabled Whispered Lord, who remains sane, iwht all his possessions, and, most importantly, his sight. Vox sets out on a journey tthrough the caverns hidden beneath the castle to find the Fragments of Sorrow, a collection of gems that will revitalize every part of him and give him 'power unknown to this plane.'*

 

[SageofShadow]

as Vox enters the caves, he immediantly uses his other senses to feel his way through the caves. about half way, he stumbles upon a gaping pit of lava.

Vox: easy, ill get past this

Vox leaps over the pit using waht the Whispered Knights call "Han" (earth magic) and is carried off to the other side.

Vox charges into the last leg of the cave and then comes upon the gems.

Vox touches them and then all his memories of his past life, his friends and Ris come back to him (He forgot about all of them over time) he opens his eyes and the darkness settles in.

Vox: i can see

Vox treks through the rest of the caverns and goes back to the council chambers

Vox: ive brought the stones, everything is returned to me.

 

[Kuzmich]

[glow=red]Far away in Igor's homeland a fulyl armed man rushes into the clan council chamber. He is covered in sweat and dirt. He comes to the center of the room and falls to his knees. The council member sitting in the circle gets up takes some water out of a bucket that is standing next to him and pours it in a wooden cup, comes up to a man and lets him drink from the cap.

Council Member: What are the news from the frontlines. Gurak, tell us quick.

Gurak: Bad news my lord Olden, bad news indeed. The Tatarian army is aproaching, they already set fire to few outlying villages, but there were no casualties all of the people were evacuated. This news cost me 7 men. The demons in Tatarian army can smell human flesh. They are huge, 20-30 feet in height carrying giant sword and clubs and their men, they don't look like men at all, they got no soul in their eyesm no life, they are just walking like they are dead, like they are zombies, exept they are fast and skilled with use of blade.
Olden: These are faul news, hopefully Igor won't be coming back only to see the ashes of his country. We must defend ourselves. I won't all the men to be pulled back to the capitol, and i want trenches being dug all around the perimeter. If this shall be our end then we will make it such an end that will be worthy of rememberance. This is all.

Gurak left to carry out the orders, he went to the chamber of generals and spoke council's will. The head general Poltikus rubbed his beard and said:

"The orders are to be carried out, but before we fight we will have a feast, that feast will be the king of all feasts, men need to know what they are fighting for, every soldier in the army will get money, food, and a woman for the night."

He pointed at one of the guards

"You go tell them what i want."

While all this was happening Igor was going deeper and deeper into the cave. Soon he had to turn off his second vision, the light from dragon's aura almost blinded him. he was close.[/glow]

 

[Final Warrior]

Tyuvar: Is that so? Then you must be the second in 3 millenia. Welcome to your humble abode, Whispered Lord!

*Vox realizes that his calling is not here, but back in the Kingdom of Evers'ilance, aiding his brother-in-soul. Vox leaves, headed to Evers'ilance, but is stopped by Tyuvar.*

Tyuvar: If you leave, you shall forget everything. You shall stay who and what you are, but the doors to this place are forever closed to you. Are you sure about this?

Vox: ...

*For the firsst time in months, the voice speaks to Vox.*

Voice: I shall remember always, Vox. Journey on, and as you sleep each night, I shall tell you a story. They know not of me, my beloved.

Vox: Ris...? *Looks at Tyuvar* Yes, I am sure... I shall leave.

*Back in Evers'ilance, the Final Warrior loses mental contact with Igor. Tyravael and Razael appear at the Final Warrior's sides.*

Tyravael: He is lost to us.

Razael: More pressing matters... it has begun. My spotters have seen them. Horrible things they are... scared the darklights out of my spotters, they did.

Final Warrior: Is that so?... Well, then, I take it that we shall go?

*Rhianna enters the room and sees the three brothers conversing. She turns to leave, but the Final Warrior stops her.*

Final Warrior: Rhianna, take care of the Kingdom whilst I am away...

Rhianna: Another journey?

Final Warrior: Yes... one that I may not return from.

Rhianna: I doubt that. Just remember that I am at home, awaiting you with open arms and a open heart... that'll keep you alive. Tyravael, Razael, you two shall always be welcome here with me as well.

*Tyravael and Razael smile, but the Final Warrior's face remains emotionless, even without his helmet on. The Final Warrior walks up to Rhianna, gives her a quick kiss, and leaves, heaed for the armory.*

Tyravael: I apologize for my brother's behavior.

Razael: To think that he'd act like that towards his wife...

Rhianna: It's okay... you two, go. He will be needing you before his journey is over.

*Tyravael and Razael leave, following in the Final Warrior's wake. In the armory, the Final Warrior selects out his finest set of armor with the best enchantments that he could acquire from around the world. He draws the Griffin Blade and Death's Passion from the air and sheathes them. Tyravael tests his armor and blade, Angel's Fury. Razael does the same with Demon's Wrath. The Three Brothers leave in the middle of the night, no one knowing their destination.*

Final Warrior: I shall stay in touch with everyone as long as I can... however, if I get cut off, do not owrry!

Tyravael: Aye.

Razael: I hear you.

Rhianna: Stay safe, my love.

[glow=red]OOC: here is a new char she is female

Name: Tel'Kana
Race: Wood elf
Age: 320
Sex: Female
Weapon: Elven bow, poisoned arrows, earth spells.
Class: Ranger
History: She learned all she could from her people and than got bored with stable life of a forest elf. She needed adventure and left her forest without telling anyone, after few months of traveling she started to learn about humans but still didn't know much many things surprised and scared her. Right now she is continuing her travels.

BoT:

Tel'kana saw the smoke coming out from the other side of the hill infront of her. She quietly went over the hill and saw something that horrified her. Demons and men were destroying a whole forest, wiping out every tree. She new she couldn't fight them so she ran in an opposite direction from teh forest not knowing what she was going to do.

-meanwhile in dragon's cave-

I finally got to him, he was sitting a throne a great statue of a giant dragon, made still in all its glory. There was a red gem on the forhead of a statue, it looked like an eye. Igor flew up and used his glefa to pull it out. Suddenly the cracks began appaearing on the statue. The great lizard was breaking the stone and in few seconds its golden gills could be seen. After dragon cleared all the stone he turned his head on Igor. he spoke without moving his lips, his loud, genderless voice was heard in Igor's head.

"You freed me young warrior, you have my gratitude. What shall be your request?"

Igot stood still his face imotionless.

"There was a blade created by my people, a blade of unimaginable power, but it was lost, you know there it is, so tell me. Great evil is aproaching land of my people, evil we cannot hold back. This sword will decide the fate of my nation."

"Ah yes, the sword. I remember it, give me some of your blood, i will need it to tell you the location."

Igor waited for a second, one of the laws of a mage was to never give blood to anyone for it could be use to make the doner a zombie. Then after just few seconds of thinking Igor took out a dagger and cut his vein. Dragon looked at the blood and it flew in the mid air forming a circle around his head. Dragon spoke:

"Thats enough"

Igor used a healing spell on his veins and looked at the dragon.

"I see it, its, its on the buttom of the ocean, its history is long and filled with tragedy. We must find it, i shall help you young warrior."

"We must hurry, the enemy is getting closer every second."

"Yes hurry we shall. Get on my back young warrior"

I got on his back and he took off, he used some kind of spell and his body and my body went through the layers of stone, in few secodns we were in the sky heading for the sea. Dragon spoke to me:

"It will take us a day to get to the place"

"Lets prey that we won't come back to see the ruins."

-meanwhile in Igor's homeland, capitol-

All soldiers were happy, beer was everythere, so was fodo and whores. The atmoshpere was one of happiness. Not one guard kept his post that night, there was no point, an army of that size could not go unnoticed, and according to the spies it wouldn't come until two days from now. No one was thinking that in two days they were gonan die, everyone was enjoying life.[/glow]

 

[SageofShadow]

Vox resumes his long journey back to Evers'ilance, but with new sight and determination, he jouneys further into the woods. Soon he sees the sparkling city of Evers'ilance and smiles

Vox: im back

Vox telepathicy messages Final Warrior

Vox: Hail brother! I have return to the land

Final Warrior: I dont beleive it! Vox!

Vox runs toward Evers'ilance with a big grin on his face, his Whispered Knight senses guiding him. From training with the Whispered Knights, his senses more than Tripled but that will come with a cost, triple the pain.

 

[Kuzmich]

[glow=red]The dragon was flying low above the clouds. Suddenly he went down. Dragon and Igor were rapidly falling, Igor was still sitting on dragon's back. Once the clouds cleared they saw the ocean and went right into it. Dragon created a barrier to protect them against water pressure. They went deep, to the very buttom of the ocean. Igor landed on the ocean floor, a magical shield was protecting him from water. He looked at the dragon and the dragon stumped with his right foot realising a great cloud of ocean dust. Then the dust cleared there was a blade. It seemed like a normal short sword sharpened on both sides, but Igor could see the aura of that blade with his second sight, that aura radiated great power. Igot got back on dragon's back and they flew to the capitol, it would take several days for them to reach the city.[/glow]

 

[Final Warrior]

*A day passes. The Three Brothers land in the capital of Igor's empire, where his men are celebrating.*

Final Warrior: Vox, turn away from Evers'ilance, go towards Igor's empire... you shall be needed there. Brothers, where are our soldiers?

Tyravael: The Fallen Ones are hidden high within the clouds.

Razael: The Exiles await my command beneath the ground, hidden under stone.

Final Warrior: And my men await within the capital, celebrating... I shall remind them of their duties. My soldiers, do not celebrate too much! Remember the oaths that you have sworn, those that await ye at home! War is coming upon us! Stay sober and happy, for before the month is passed, many of us will not go home.

*The Final Warrior can feel the cumulative emotions of his soldiers and warriors. They have saddened a little, knowing that many of them cannot touch a prostitute so as to stay faithful. Others know that this is their first time in action, and they have decided not to partake in the celebration anymore, instead choosing to train.*

Final Warrior: The war shall be soon... may it pass quickly, for good or for bad.

*The Three Brothers hide away their wings and stride into the capital. They seem to be three heavily armed and armored men, one in silver and black Godsteel, another in white and gold, and the last in red and black. The brothers walk onto the feasting grounds, but aren't noticed by many, at least until they venture forwards a little more, where the men of Evers'ilance quiet down, knowing who the Three are.*

 

[Kuzmich]

[glow=red]OOC:Just so everyone knows the Impire's name is Rusland here are main cities
Roshia- Capitol, richest city
Fosha- One of the great clan cities, the place there lands best warriors are trained. Collesium is located here
Ropka- Mining city, most of Impire's natural resources is collected and manufactured in here.

BoT:

Me and the dragon were heading towards Roshia. We flew right over the aproaching army, but we were high so they didn't notice us. Few minutes after that dragon spoke to me.

"I see a figure on the ground, its a she-elf, she is running away from the army, she won't be able to escape them for long."

"Then lets help her."

"Alright, get ready i am gonna have to fall again"

And the dragon fell. Few seconds before his massive body hit the ground he glided and caught the elf in his claws. I cast a sleeping spell on her so she wouldn't die out of fear. We continued on flying to Roshia, it wasn't long now, only few more hours.

-back in Roshia-

Poltikus stood up from his table and cast a small spell so everyone in the room could hear him. He raised his glass filled with ale and spoke to all the men:

"Remember this day, today is a great day, this is worth fighting for, this worth dying for. Hail those who already died in the service of this nation. TO THE DEAD!!!"

Everyone raised their glasses and yelled

"TO THE DEAD!!"

A messenger aproached Poltikus.

"Excuse me general but i have a report on enemy positions"

"What is it?"

"They are coming, they will be here in the morning of day after tomorrow."

"Alright, carry on lad, live your life tonight."[/glow]

 

[SageofShadow]

ooc: nets phuckin up so i cant see waht some ppl are saying

bot

Vox: Jeez, i just get back and you already start a war

 

[Final Warrior]

*The Final Warrior watches those who he will be fighting with.*

Tyravael: *Quietly* Remember... don't judge on first appearances.

Final Warrior: Hard not to... drinkers and perverts...

Razael: Sometimes, the worst-looking ones are best fighters.

Tyravael: You would know.

Final Warrior: Come, my warriors. We take our leave for to watch the enemy. We shall learn what we can and take their lives if we must.[/b

Tyravael: What if they don't have lives?

Final Warrior: We shall bury them all the same. Let us go.

*The Three Brothers leave, with all the Evers'ilance men following. The toughest of the tough, the vets and elite warriors take the lead naturally and begin to drill and teach the others.*

Final Warrior: Watch the dawn of the next morn... and pray that it is not blood-red.

Tyravael: That is a strange twist on a barbaric prayer that I haven't heard. But you do know that that isn't to be?

Final Warrior: Yes, but it is never too late to become a optimist.

 

[Kuzmich]

[glow=red]Me, dragon and elf were flying towards Roshia, my second sight searched the land around me and spotted Final Warrior with his army moving towards us.

"Dragon, this are my freinds, please take me to them."

"So it shall be"

Dragon quickly lowered to the ground, she-elf was still sleeping. I aproached Final Warrior

"What is it you think you doing? Your army cannot defeat the enemy in the open, it will have a hard time doing so behind the walls of my capitol. You will just bring death to all who follow you. Come back with me to Roshia, behind the city walls we will have a chance."[/glow]

 

[Final Warrior]

OOC: We aren't outside the city... The troops aer training up.

BoT:

Final Warrior: I am busy.

Igor: Listen to me, Final Warrior. I have the sword. We can win this war.

Final Warrior: Mhm. You go and do that. I have matters of my own to attend to. If you want to say something, say it now.

Igor: Come, let us go celebrate!

Final Warrior: It is not the way that we do things. We prepare ourselves, not get drunk. We think of the coming storm, not enjoy the paradise. We draw steel and await the foe, not sit idle as our friends prepare.

Igor: You have changed, Raphael.

Final Warrior: That may be. At least my men-

Igor: MY men do as WE do. YOUR men do as YOU do.

Final Warrior: Fine then. But if YOUR men awaken with hangeovers, then on YOUR head be it for they will not be able to fight.

Igor: MY men don't get hangovers.

Final Warrior: That may be... but remember, there is no cure for a hangover.

*The Final Warrior turns around and walks away, abck to his men who is drilling in the last minutes.*

Final Warrior: Vox, how far away are ye?

Vox: Mm... about a half day's walk, but I should be able to make it in about six hours.

Final Warrior: Then come to us quickly. We shall need all the help we can get.
