The Collapsing World of Shadows (NOW OPEN! pm me first)

[Chibiwulf001]

Barrhin trembled slightly and sucked in a deep breath. "He was starting to question me. . ." Barrhin began slowly. "but you guys came along and he stopped. He asked me basically that same question though." He looked around him briefly to see if escape was possible, but there was no option as far as he could tell. "During the night, I was running away from my. . ." He cringed as he said the next few words. "master. He is a vampire attending a Blood Council meeting at the moment, that's why I thought I could get away. His control is greater at night, so he was aware that I was leaving and sent some of his shadow minions after me. They kinda' chased me into this forest where. . . I passed out." He said, shame prominent in his voice. "When I woke up this morning, I didn't know where I was and so I just started wandering around I guess and stumbled across this Elven city." Barrhin's trembling seemed to shake his whole being; he was terrified of death, but even more of the life as he knows now.

Terran smiled sadly to him, releasing his grip, and the bell-flowers tinkled, "I've heard this story before . . ." the vines turned into seeds, and Terran collected them, holding out his hand, the hand that had gripped him so menacingly. He thought to himself 'I hope this is the right choice . . . the other was, but his master's hold on him . . . will have to be dealt with." he said, unsure, but he knew he was not completely undead-there was a shard of life remaining.
((oh by the way, XD I leave for the party at 7pm, lol, we can hang out, you choose where!))

Barrhin looked up to Terran, uncertain at first, but he decided to trust the Elf and took his offering hand. He stood and smiled weakly through his confusion. "Thanks. . . " He was grateful, but he felt like he did not deserve this much kindness. "Is there anything you would like me to do?" He said, looking down sadly. 'How did things come down to this?' Barrhin thought to himself. His life was happy and peaceful at one point, he didn't have much, but it was everything he ever wanted. He had a loving family and was about to start his very own with the girl he loved. It was gone though, gone because of his Lycan state. He clenched his fists in self loathing for a moment, but then flashed a barely noticeable smile as he thought of her face. Sighing, Barrhin got a hold of himself and looked up to the Elf once more.

((now, Terran wants to take Barrhin to Wulf, but time must progress were Gabriel, Kie and him respond in some way, yes? My, this is complicated, nevertheless, I shall respond as Sabin now, and Artim XD wow, I take forever even with a computer! ah!))
Sabin eyed him, wondering how he could know that, "If what you say is true, then I think he is a good stand-in. He hears the will of Kthulu through the necro-priests, that is enough for me." his acolytes were too busy studying the Necronomicon, but some of the elite necromancers near Sabin were curious what a vampire ancient's interest would be in their tutor. They merely supposed that he wished to aid in the attack against the elves . . . a considerable bonus to their army. Sabin turned to him, his lich aura pulsated slightly in interest, "What brings you here child?"

Artim shrugged, "I've been to this city many times in search of supplies, I think there is something in the museum that will help us against necromantical energy-an artifact." he sighed, which is hard while running, "I only hoped I analyzed it correctly . . ." he smirked, "You'll see when we get there." he kept pace with Alyra, knowing she could leave him in the dust if she wanted, he cursed his human slowness.

[Chibiwulf001]

Morias pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement. "Yes, but what is he without the Necro-Priests?" He hissed. Morias then thought over how much he should tell Sabin. "I was attending a Blood Council meeting when a powerful wave of Necromantical energy was felt throughout my being, it seemed. . . " He paused for a moment, he felt that he should choose his words carefully. " more powerful and focused for your usual work. The power even felt ancient." He said in a careful, respectful tone. "I thought you may be involved or at least informed in this matter, yes?" Morias looked up again at the Lich King, who was still speaking on the issue. After a short pause, he continued further. "Will you be involved with this dealing with the Elves?" He asked in an even lower tone, his curiosity now struck.

Alyra gazed behind her, her heart skipping a beat or two as she caught a glimpse of the hordes of skeletons, but then she turned her attentions on Artim. "What kind of artifact is there that can help us? I didn't think humans were gifted enough to create something useful against Necromancy, or against any great form or power now that I think about it. . . " She trailed off and looked forward in time to see their way was barred by the impressively gigantic form of a fiery red dragon. A thick wall of flames rose around the beast, licking his scales without any damage and lava flowed around the ground where he stood; causing the asphalt of the road to become sticky and bubble from the intense heat. Alyra pulled herself and Artim to a halt about fifty or so yards from the immense creature. It watched them with flaming red eyes, then threw its head back and let out an ear splitting, ground breaking bellow. The glass in the office buildings surrounding them burst in to a million little shards, Alyra quickly covered her's and Artim's head with her coat as the shards rained down upon them. The dragon tossed his gaping jaws forward, spewing flaming magma down on them. Gasping, Alyra dragged Artim into a full-out run heading for a narrow side street on their left, barely avoided the cascading magma. "What the crap!?" Alyra exclaimed, fully aware that the dragon and the skeletons were in pursuit after them now. She also realized that they had turned left two streets too soon. ((Hope you don't mind the change in action, Alec. Or was that not necessary or worth it?))

Sabin frowned deeply, curiously, "SHE . . . her seals are weak . . . that was only a fraction of her abilities." he rubbed his rotted forehead and looked upwards, "Her power is vast, legendary even, I may have millions of souls powering an equally vast energy source . . . but she has barely awoken. Her rate of channeling the dark energy around her is utterly efficient-she makes the soul generator within the Necronomicon pale in comaprison," he grinned very slightly, "If such a thing were possible, her expertise is channeling power, unleashing it haphazardly-only to regain it in a moment . . . making her as I suspected, the legends are true . . ." Sabin looked over to Morias "The Fae of Darkness has been freed, I may have to abandon this campaign . . . to secure the survival of this order-" the Necronomicon suddenly spoke up, speaking in an outlandish tongue and hovering over into Sabin's hands, the tongue on the book lolled out with each word, spraying rotted juices and bile. Sabin nodded to it's remarks as it stopped speaking, "It has bidden me go to her, and find her logic-if she has any left in her cold shell of being . . . her soul is hatred, joy, suffering, absolution . . . perhaps there is hope for madness." Sabin grinned darkly his long bangs covering his pondering eyes, he looked back to Morias and blinked surprisedly, "I ramble, my failing, as for yourself? Will you stay and act in my place against the Eldar?" he began to clip the gaint tome to his belt, gathering his scattered tools: steel-thread spools and his red needle, he left the body parts he had half-amassed for the use against the Eldar. They were giant flesh-golems the size of an ent, and there was only one that were 2/3 complete, the other two were scattered limbs. He hoped they could take the pieces of the other two and finish the golem-it would be key for their seige.

Artim covered his head with his tattered cloak and broke their motionless state with a run, this time Artim dragged Alyra along the way, seeing the street far ahead that he recognized-regretting not bringing his motorcycle, "Darnit woman, keep moving, patience! You will see soon enough, I will explain what I can in the very short time that we have . . ." they passed a street on the left, the dragon peered over the buildings at them, craning its long neck easily over as it breathed a huge burst of lava in front of where they were about to walk to the next street. Artim grimaced and used his grappling hook on the nearby building to swing over the lava that was pooling toward them, and sidled up next to the building, waiting for Alyra to follow.

Morias listened intently, his curiosity being fed. "This one has never heard of such a Fae, nor would I have ever surmised that a Faery could turn down such dark paths. . ." He grinned maliciously at the thought. 'What power she must hold. . . and to have her under one's control, could be a very valuable weapon indeed. . . " The shadows lurking in the room could feel his dark intentions and hissed fearfully. The shadows fear all solid beings, and especially those who could easily manipulate or destroy them as such. Morias paid them no heed and he thought anxiously. 'This would be an interesting investigation in the Faery, but one will follow the Lich's command. . . for now. "Of courses," He hissed to Sabin in a convincingly obedient and enthused tone. "Eradicating the Eldar will be most enjoyable, finishing your flesh-golems will be none too difficult." He grinned evilly, exposing four large fangs. Hair fell in his face,shadowing and hiding his eyes-which were narrowed in displeasure.

Alyra paused, unsure that she could make the leap. Before the lava could reach her she made a running jump, her fingers crossed and her breath held. She landed in one piece on the other side with one foot ahead of the other. There was a terrible smell of burning rubber that made Alyra wrinkle her nose in disgust, and there was a slight hissing or bubbling noise by her right foot. Looking down to investigate the noise, she gave a little "eek!" and ran from the spot she was standing, for the right heel of her boot had landed in the lava and the rubber was melting off. "Ahh! Oh great. . ." She exclaimed, the sticky melted rubber of her shoe was sticking to the ground and made a squish noise after a small effort to get it unstuck. "This is going to be a problem." She stated to Artim, unhappily. The dragon roared not too far behind them. "We better move!" Alyra added hastily.

((Gak I'm so sorry some how when I was reading I missed that one. I'm sorry I'll erase my post and repst a reply, I'm sorry!))

With shadowed words and silent steps I creep in hallowed halls.
With lifeless eyes of jealousy I watch as this world falls.

Kie looked at the vampire curiously, "Goodevening." She bowed lightly just out of habbit. She looked around the forest and shrugged, "I find it interesting and I am running out of interesting things and places." She looked at him andfrowned slightly, "I am afraid I'm not making much sense." She disliked when she made sense to herself but not others; it made conversations quite difficult.


In years gone past I sit and think.
My mind is brought to madnessess brink.

Jamile sat in a large plush arm chair in a large empty room of his home. The chair the only thing that occupied this room he pondered what his work would bring him to this evening. as he pondered he heard a slight knock on the door. "Come in." He said with a wave of his hand a shadow formed hand opening the door. Another vampire just one of the messengers walked in and presented a letter. He read over it cautiously and waved the messenger away. He stood and decided he would walk most of the way to his target destiation.

((don't worry XD you're perfectly fine XP if only the wulfie was on! crapola, by the way . . . me and wulfie are goin on a trip until saturday starting tuesday! XP I hope you can bear the wait!))
Gabriel looked to her suspiciously, his eyes slightly narrowed, "Running out?" he moved closer to her, and grinned slyly, "This world is more interesting by the minute to myself . . . shadows running rampant," he moved away from Kie, his arms flailing with his words ((he talks with his hands a lot XP)) "Elves being attacked, the continents smashing together, and with the human race crashing down around their ears . . ." he spun smoothly around, looking at her once again, "How can this doomed world be boring?" he said with a chuckle, making like he was going to take a drink of something, then stopped himself with an annoyed sigh-remembering he was all out of wine.

[Bishie M E L O N Ramune]

((No problem hope you guys have fun))

With shadowed words and silent steps I creep in hallowed halls.
With lifeless eyes of jealousy I watch as this world falls.

Kie watched him slightly ammused but she shook her head. "I find no ammusment in death and destruction. Even if I did it would not be interesting enough seeing as this world has been and will be constantly falling into darkness." She noticed him going to take a drink and noticed he must of been out. She smirked and shrugged, "Constant things that were once amusing soon become boring."

[chibblo_chibi01]

((oh XD it's a church activity thing. Careful, Gabriel is a bit smarter than he looks . . . among other things))
Gabriel's eyebrows raised, "Intrigueing, quite profound." he put a hand to his chin as his other arm flopped uselessly-unnatural without a cup in it's grasp, "So what then, would you consider amusing?" he said with a smile, and a mischevious glint in his eyes.
