A thousand years ago, Superstition and the sword ruled the world. It was a time of darkness. A world of fear. The age of Gargoyles. Frozen in a sleep of stone by day, and a lethal fighting machine by night, these creatures were both feared and respected by the humans. However, it is possible to bond with one of these creatures, and even share a single body. When the princess of a scottish castle was brutally murdered, a mage casted a spell across the land, creating eternal petrification to the Gargoyles, only allowing a human hand to set them free.

Now, 1,000 years later, the gargoyles have been misenterpreted as normal statues. A needle among the haystack, persay. The spell can only be broken by a human who is able to hear the voice of the gargoyle. Once the voice is heard, the gargoyle can merge with the human, allowing the human to become a gargoyle himself.

The abilities of the gargoyle are fairly simple. Super speed and strength, as well as the ability to glide through the air. However, the person they bond with will allow them to unlock only one power of their choosing. Also, they sleep by turning into stone, and bursting from their stone shells an entire day later. During their stone sleep, the gargoyles are able to heal abnormally fast, as well as being able to blend in as a statue, if placed in the right area. However, the best time a gargoyle can turn to stone is at sunrise, and the gargoyle is completly helpless during that time. However, the human is ejected from the Gargoyle to live their normal lives. If the statue of the gargoyle is destroyed, then the human's life will die.

Alex stared at the stone statue, while the tour guide led his usual boring speech to the other people who were interested in the normal things of the castle. But Alex saw something different. He thought he could hear voices coming from the stone gargoyle. Voices. Curious, he extended his hand to touch the statue, wondering if anything would happen.

Kathrine was walking through the castle with her grandmother not caring about what the other people were talking about. She heard something a soft voice sounding as if it was calling her. She walked to a gargoyle where she heard the noise and put her hand softly on it as she started to feel something, something liek power flood into her body.
PostPosted: Sun Mar 16, 2008 2:15 pm


Alex got to his feet after what seemed like a surge of some type of power. However, he also had memories he didn't experience. A siege of a castle, a murder of a princess. And finally, darkness.. "Wha, what just happened?" He asked himself.

Kathrine got her hand off of the gargoyle after she had memories she had never actually been there for, A queen turning into a mother and going to a different castle, a princess being born but most of all an old man very sad for some reason. "Whoa." She said as she went back to her grandmother.

When he got to his feet, Alex walked out of the castle and back into his hotel room. He was still a little shaky when he entered the door. "Man, what exactely happened?" He asked himself, falling on his bed.

Kathrine went home with her grandmother and said "Remember how you told me about the gargoyles? well I think i might have well had the memories of one."


Oh nonsence." Her grandmother said "The stories must not be truely true." She said getting herself a cup of tea.

As the moon rose, Alex stirred in his bed, with strange feelings in him. The feeling of something emerging. When he shot up in his bed, he felt a sharp pain in his back, like something was trying to burst free. He pushed, to reveal wings.. His hands also changed to claws, as well as his feet, and so on.

As soon as the sun went down Kathrine woke up after feeling pains all over her body. By the time she had relaxed again, She had become one of them...

After sorting through the creature's memories, he realized that gargoyles not actually exited as living creatures, but they were imprisoned long ago, by a scottish sorcerer. "Ok, i'll need to find out more about this." He said as he stepped to his window. As he jumped out, he tried to use his wings, but fell flat on his face. "Ow...I'll need to practice the whole flying thing.." He said to himself as he extended his wings and tried to flap his way into the sky.

Aneisa walked along the paths that wound through the gardens of Manorbier Castle. This was the first time she'd been to this particular castle, but she was no stranger to its like. She loved exploring old castles and ancient ruins. There was a romantic mystery about them that called to her.

As she neared the dovecote, Aneisa swore she could hear a vice calling to her. Turning over her shoulder, she looked around. "Hello? Is anyone there?" She hadn't seen anyone or heard footsteps. The nearest people she could see were at least a good couple hundred feet away, up by the castle itself.

Aneisa shrugged it off as mere imagination and went back to studying the architecture of the architecture of the dovecote. But just a few moments later, she heard the voice again. Distinctly female, she sounded both very close and yet very far away as well.

Confused, Aneisa followed the sound of the voice. As she walked along through the grounds, she continued to hear the voice, growing closer and closer. She eventually ended up near a large pond. She was sure that the lady was very close now, but looking around, Aneisa couldn't see anyone.

In front of her, extending out into the water a short distance, was a stone walkway with a waist high wall surrounding it. Sitting on the one side of the wall was the statue of a female gargoyle. She was very beautiful, but seemed rather sad and lonely to Aneisa, sitting out there all by herself.

For some reason, Aneisa felt herself drawn to the gargoyle. She knew it sounded ridiculous, but she could swear the voice was coming from the statue. Reaching her side, Aneisa tentatively reached out her hand to the statue. She hesitated for a moment, pulling back slightly, but then she found her nerve and gently laid her hand on the sad gargoyle's cheek.

For an instant, nothing happened, but before Aneisa knew what was happening, she felt a strange sensation of power flowing through her and she was on the ground.

When her head finally stopped buzzing, Aneisa slowly stood up. Feeling a bit odd, she stepped off of the walkway and bent down at the water's edge, gently splashing some on her face. Once she was feeling a bit better, she decided to head back to her hotel.

Sitting by herself that evening, Aneisa tried to sort out what had happened. As she thought back, she kept seeing things she knew she had never experienced: she saw lords and ladies; gargoyles walking about, as real as anything; she saw young ladies in costumes what appeared to be the 11th or 12th century.

Aneisa stood alone on her balcony, watching the sun set, pondering these mysteries. But as the last ray of sun disappeared from the land, all thought was taken away as pain wracked her body. She felt a stabbing in her head, hands, feet, just above her butt and the back of her shoulders. "What's..... Happening?" she gasped before crying out in pain and giving a strong push.

Shortly, the pain subsided, and when she looked down, Aneisa realized that something had happened to her. She she looked, her fingers and toes had turned into claws, and she felt as if there were other things not quite right as well. Going back into her room, Aneisa gathered her courage and looked into the mirror. Besides the claws, she had grown a pair of curved horns, bat like wings and a muscular tail. Her ears had also changed shape, becoming more pointed at the top and in the back.

It took a moment for everything to sink in. "I..... I'm a gargoyle!" Thinking this must all be a dream, Aneisa pinched her arm with two clawed fingers. "Ouch!!" Definately not a dream. This was real.

((Sorry about the length. Had to catch up to y'all))

Alex keith walked to the castle where he had obtained his strange power. After slamming his hand onto the wall, he realized his hypothesis was correct: That gargoyles were able to scale walls by their bare hands. By placing his claws through the stone, he climbed up Castle Wyvern, allowing him to view the countryside for more like him.

(going to make an assumption that the statues are still there. If I'm wrong, let me know and I can change things up.)Heading back out to the balcony, Aneisa climbed up and perched on the railing. Glancing down, then up and finally over her shoulder at her wings, a smile crossed her face. Spreading her wings and preying that it would work, she jumped off the rail. It took a moment for her flight to level off, but when it did, she figured she was too low. Flapping her wings, she rose up till she was well out of sight of anyone below.

Aneisa flew on through the dark, not knowing where she was going but inexplicably drawn in one direction. It wasn't until she had the sudden erg to go down that she realized where she was: back at Manorbier.

Circling the castle twice, she landed near the lake. When she looked around, Aneisa found she was right next to the statue of the gargoyless she had seen earlier. Walking back toward her, memories flashed before Aneisa's eyes, and a name came to her mind. Reaching the statue, she looked at it for a moment, then she stretched out her hand, looking at it. "This... all of this, has something to do with you, doesn't it...... Saraphina?"
