Xiro Teh Mighty Smiter Crew

 Posted: Wed Jul 13, 2005 12:18 am
Xiro was starting to become irritated. He put his hand to his forehead.
"Alright. I killed that guy. I took his pike. He deserved it. That man, a fiend he was. You and your band of precious holy knights. Do you know that they attack defenseless women? I could blame you as well. You keeping me here is hurting someone I hold very close to my heart. Take the pike if you want it, please let me go. She needs me."
Xiro dropped his head, hoping for a moment of compassion from someone who seeks vengeance.

Rixtae looked down on him.
"Your name was Itorno Zurbiak, now it is Xiro. You did steal the Pike, but your reasoning is clouded. Your past.. troubling. You see us in the wrong light." As she spoke, the light faded, showing him to be on the building he'd last jumped to. He had never been moved, only his perception changed.
"The Goddess has given me a vision... of your future. Of my own future. She said to me, "Go with this man. Aid him, until you find the three spirited masters of the blade, the pike, and the spear, united in one existance." I will accompany you.. with haste. Xeyva Kovera has little time left to live... and she is instrumental. To our future." She spoke with a graveness and urgency in her voice.

=The Docks=
-Another half hour passed and Renshia had fallen asleep that she didnt notice the sudden tugging of the string until whatever had taken the bait pulled hard one last time, enough to pull her forward. Renshia woke up and grabbed the pole, the pull was too strong for her to sit and fight back so she jumped up and planted her feet firmly on the planks of wood and leaned back with all her might, taking small steps every now and then while reeling the string in.-
"Oh man...Im gonna have me a buffet tonight, no more veggie dinners for me, I bet this one is huge...super huge...mega huge..."
-Renshia's mouth watered to the point she was drooling, down in the water small splashes started interrupting the water as she was close to bringing out the catch of the day when suddenly the boards under her began creaking and cracking. Pulling with all her might on the pole and continuing to reel in the line she looked down then jumped away as the board gave way and cracked in half, though that was just the beginning as the other board she was on also began cracking until the whole pier began crumbling under her feet.-
"Aeeeiii!!"
-She hopped from board to board, still pulling on the pole and dragging the fish to the shore until she reached the newer sturdier pier and with one last tug of the pole into the air Renshia pulled out the fish. The fish smacked her in the face first before falling to the floor and doing its usual "Death dance", she rubbed her nose whimpering a little then with a grin on her lips she picked up the fish and poked it.-
"Haha, you are mine now fishy...and soon you will be in my empty tummy."
-A sigh of relief and exhaustion escaped her lips as Renshia bent down to pick up her pole, the fish hung from the line on her left hand as she made her way back to her little shack, the campfire she had started before going out to fish was near to dying out. Her stomach growled which made her cringe from the slight pain so she set the fishing pole down on the sand then unhooked the fish and shoved a pointy stick into its mouth, something that always made her close her eyes when she did it. Afterwards Renshia tossed in a few more dried up firewood and poked at it to make it burn, on each side of the fire there were two other sticks, at the top it was shaped like a V, on which she placed the stick with the fish then sat down and waited for it to cook.-

A large passenger ship arrives at the dock. As the anchor dropped down with a splash, the ship came to a stop then lowered it's door. A crowd of people, boxes and animals were let off the ship. In the crowd walked out Valk and his warhose, Raijin, who was bought in this very city. Valk took Raijin's reins and led him away from the crowd and walked along the beach where some merchants were trying to vend their stuff to travellers...Valk intended to search every one of them.
It was almost sunset and Valk had tired out every merchant on the beach. However, a little shack just ahead caught his attention.
'One last merchant before we head for an inn, Raijin' He thought as he walked towards the shack made of driftwood and such. There was still smoke comming from what could be the 'merchant's' fireplace.

=The Beach=
-By now the fish was nothing but bones scattered all over the ground, the fire still burned brightly through the night. Next to the fire Renshia lay on the cool sand all curled up like a cat, she used her cloak to cover herself and stay warm, she'd mumble random things and twitch a little, perhaps from a dream. Before she had fallen asleep, Renshia had set up some wiring around her little camp, hidden from anyone that might approach were some rusty bells tied on a thing wire than ran around the camp in a square roughly 20x20 ft.-
"I know you are...zzz...here...zzz..." , she said in her sleep scratching her nose and curling up more, the hilt of a sword became visible as the cloak which covered her slide to one side, it also revealed some of her thigh in which she had strapped on a hunting knife.

Valk stops as he steps on the wire around the shack and faint ringing start. Stepping off the wire, the bells stop and Valk steps further towards the shack, leaving Raijin waiting behind the wires. A small fire was burning bright and bones of a rather large fish was scattered beside it. Hoping to find a merchant with the object he was looking for, Valk looked over to the other side, only to find a teenage girl in old and torn robes. Sighing of frustration that this was certainly not what he was looking for, he started to turn back then stops. Looking back again at the sleeping girl, an aching feeling twisted at his heart...and so he left half of the gold in his money bag beside the girl tied up in a leather medicine bag that had been empty for some time. With that, he left the shack and walked towards Raijin, careful not to step on the wires again so not to wake the girl from her sleep. Valk mounted the horse and rode away towards a well known stable in the center of Danndrin.

=The Beach=
-The fire had burned out, only a faint tail of smoke rose from the ashes as the sun began to emerge from the horizon out from the ocean, the sea gulls were already flocking in the air. Renshia tossed and turned until her hand flopped onto the warm ashes, her eyes opened slightly then realizing her hand was burning she jumped up and ran around in circles flailing her hand in the air screaming then stuck her hand into the cool sand.
"Ohh ahh ahh ahh...hmm whats this..." , she rubbed her hands together and noticed a small medicine bag on the ground, being real curious she walked to it and bent down to pick it up, "Hmm...pretty heavy for this to have medicine.", she shook it around and heard a sharp pinging sound so she opened it and found out there was gold coins in it, "Holy...! Money! Free! Food! Free!!", Renshia's eyes sparkled like a diamons and her mouth dropped open and drooled, already having thoughts of going to one of those fancy resturants and feasting on a buffet, though she also needed to have her sword and knife sharpened if she wanted to take on a mission from the Hunters Guild. "Hrmm...better pack my things and get this sword sharpened before pigging out."
-Renshia kicked some sand onto the fire then went into the small shack grabbed a bag and stuffed a few things into it then ran out of the shack and up the stairs then down a street already packed with merchants already.-

Valk had left Raijin in a public stable, confident that he would be ok with the man who had sold the horse to him. The man had treated him kindly the night, providing him with a bed and a free dinner, giving him the energy to endure a day of hunting through merchants. The streets of Danndrin were too crowded to be riding such a large horse in, otherwise Valk would've taken Raijin.
Merchant after merchant, Valk took a sketch of the stone he wanted to each of them, hoping that after giving half his money to the girl on the beach he would have enough to at least be shown the stone. He would steal it if he had do.
However, despite the wave of merchants trying to sell him their merchandise, all he found was a new medicine bag with medicine in it and a smither who repaired some dents and cracks in his dragon armor. No one, so far, has possession of the stone.

-The day was in full swing by the time Renshia made her way into the busy streets, on each side merchants were selling things here and there, imported fruits, clothing, jewelry, etc. you name it. Renshia walked down the streets looking both ways for a blacksmith, the same cloak she always wore made her look pretty suspicious as only her face was visible, her arms within the cloak in which she held firmly the sword that belonged to her.-
"Ohh...there's too many people today...I bet pocket pickers are having a field day with times like these." , suddenly from the corner of her eye she noticed a small shack made out of clay, quite dark inside and only sparks could be seen from what could be a blade being sharpened. Her lips turned into a big smile as she pushed, shoved and ran her way towards the shack when out of nowhere four thugs blocked her way, large grins were on their faces, the biggest one cracked his knuckles while a small runt approached Renshia with a cocky strut. "Whats the rush little girl...you might wanna slow down or else you will...", the cocky runt squated down and leg sweeped Renshia, "...trip hahahahaha...".
Renshia's eyes widened as she felt herself tumbling backwards then slamming onto the hard concrete ground, her head didnt bend back instead it remained upright but her eyes were clenched tightly, the cloak flew open revealing the sword she had in her arms and the armor she wore. The thugs stepped back in suprise then chuckled as the cocky runt spoke, "Well well...looks like we got some sort of 'warrior princess' here...hahaha...what is a little girl like you doing with that getup? You dont look like Hunter Material to me.", Renshia clenched her sword tightly in her arms, fear in her eyes as tears started forming, her lips beginning to tremble, "Awww...the wittle girl is gonna cry, heh stupid little girl, we'll be relieving you of your valuables."
-Renshia squirmed away on the floor, her feet scraping at the floor as the thugs got closer and closer, the people around didnt care, things like this happened all the time so one more was like a routine for them.-

Valk bowed and gave the smither the amount of gold needed for his services. He sheethed his sword and walked away from the shack. Before he went any further into the crowd, he heard someone fall onto the cement and some mocking laughter. Valk turns around and looks for the source of the sounds and find he girl he saw last night on the beach. Towering above her were four thugs ready to mob the girl. Valk put his hand on the hilt of his sword and shuffled through the crowd towards the distruption. When he got to the scene, he pulled out the sword and used it as a barrier between the thugs and the girl, giving the thugs a hard glare, hinting for them to leave.

-The four thugs quickly stumbled back as the sharp blade sliced through the air in front of them, the big one then growled and was about to charge towards the swordsman when the small cocky one stopped him then looked at the man. Meanwhile Renshia's eyes stared at the cold blade of the swordsman who had interveened and tried to stand up but stumbled back down as she was still in shock.-
"Heh, you got some guts to be messing with us but soon you'll be lying down on the cold ground as you gasp for air haha...", he said as he took out a large knife, the other three took out their own weapons as well. One had a chain that had a scythe attached to the end, the big one held a large club with spikes and the last one had a claw weapon. Soon after the crowded streets were filled with fleeing merchants and buyers in all directions, the area around them was empty in seconds flat. "Heh dont think its just us by the way...", from the roofs and dark alleys emerged more thugs, all carrying weapons, Renshia and the nameless swordsman quickly found themselves surrounded by at least 20 men, then the ground shoock lightly. From around the corner of a building a very large man, possibly 10 feet tall, stomped his way towards the encirclement. He was dressed diffrently from the others, animal furs, skulls, even human bones adorned his body, his armor was bulky and thick fit enough for a boss. The very large man stopped a few feet away from the encirclement, the thugs surrounding them moved away and left a way to Renshia and the man.

Valk tightened his grip on the dragon sword and listened for the sounds made by the thugs surrounding them, estimating their number without taking his eyes from the 'boss'.
'Too many...' He thought to himself. 'Blast it, I should've carried the shield...and the girl's poor excuse for weapons are useless...' Valk lifted his cloak to reveal two hunting knives and unsheethed them like an asassin and dropped them for the girl to pick up.
Valk lowers his sword and steps towards the large man comming towards them. He didn't want to fight, but if he is force to, he'll slaughter all of them.

-Renshia got startled by the swordsman as he took out the hunting knives, for a second she thought he was on their side but later realized they were for her to use as they were tossed onto the ground in front of her. She blinked a few times before finally sitting up and crawling to the knives, still holding her sword in her arms, she then stretched out one hand and picked up one of the knives and looked up at the swordsman then at her surroundings.-
"Little man think he can fight us all with shiny new sword...and puny little girl with knives...kwahahahaha...you make good lunch meal", the large man said as he licked his lips then immediately brought his fists down to the ground and created a small tremor, enough to level a few buildings and tear up the ground under them. "Bwahahaha...feel the power of Mighty Po!!"

Valk pulled the girl away, away from the broken ground. He then lets go of the girl's arms and took a deep breath with his eyes closed.
Upon reopening his eyes, he could now see faint outlines of Po's battle aura and his own.
It's almost in sync... Valk thought to himself. He glanced back at the girl to make sure she's ok and turned back to this 'Mighty Po'. He touched his blade with his hands, making it bright red...the sword was now as hot as it would be if it just came out from a smither's furnace. With that now ready, Valk lunges at the enemy with amazing speed, considering the amount of armor he was wearing.

-Renshia was swept off her feet as she was moved away from the crumbling ground, her eyes automatically shut tightly but it was only for a few seconds before she felt the sturdy ground under her feet again. When she opened her eyes again she saw the swordsman and the giant standing in front of each other, their eyes looked at each other with utter disgust for each other...a fierce battle was imminent, she could feel it in her blood. The few thugs who survived began to crawl out once again into the streets like roaches at night, Renshia was still holding her sword and one of the hunting knives thrown at her by the swordsman, she quickly gripped the knife tightly in her hand and stood her ground, her eyes constantly shifting from left to right.
Meanwhile, Mighty Po chuckled with his deep voice and unsheated a very large axe that he had on his back as the swordsman lunged at him and swung it just as fast as the man lunged forward, if it was timed right, both the sword and axe would collide. Time seemed to slow down as the axe was coming down with great power, Mighty Po laughed sadistically assuming he had already won the fight that had just started.-
