Once upon a time….No that's not right. No good story begins with "Once upon a time." This story should begin a little differently. This is the story about how two talking vipers saved the world. There, now that's a better title. You see, the story begins in a small town called Attica. Though small, the town has a very tall, thick stone wall with observation towers surrounding the entirety of the village. The need for this is because of a new prophecy foretold on a piece of parchment attached to the leg of an emerald falcon. A prophecy written as such:

"A duel betwixt the identical pair
shall establish the rule of an Ancient Heir.
The earth will shake on the brink of war
and daemons and monsters will strike in their horde.
The golden scepter shall smite them through;
this caduceus wielded by a soul that's true."

Without knowledge of any such "heir" or a "true soul," the town prepared for the worst monster attack yet to ravage the land. Attica's elder sent out messengers to all the grandest cities seeking out any who would venture forth and protect the small town. Primary defenses were established and reinforced and Attica soon became known as Fort Attica. Many more people began to travel to the fortress for protection and the small town began to thrive as a large city. Houses were built atop houses, until the height surpassed even the city walls.

Many have set out in search of a fabled place where there were hundreds of falcons of all colors. It is at that place where it is said that the prophecies originate. A person known only as the Soothsayer foretells all prophecies in the kingdom. No one knows who this person is, how old they are, or even if they even exist. Still, many people have tried to find the location, but returned home downtrodden and with no report.

And yet, the prophecy drew nearer every day and no one knew anything more about it.
Until one day….

OOC/Discussion Thread

Era: think medieval with a steampunk flair ONLY as far as fashion and color scheme goes.

Pairings: I've made it so that there can be at least 2 pairs if you all decide to go that route: (Male1xFemale1 and Male2xFemale2) If more characters join, feel free to swap partners.

Story: as far as the overall plot, we all need to work together to cohesively maintain the story. I can help direct us if we stray too far, but I'm open to pretty much anything. HOWEVER, there IS a deadline as far as overall plot. The closer the crimson cloud gets to Fort Attica, the more monsters attack.

Characters: You may play more than one character, but only ONE main character (except me, who is playing the vipers as the narrators and thread controller). I shall also portray any NPC's you may wish to speak to in regards to the prophecy. For example, I'm not going to channel the blacksmith if you ask the price of a sword, but I may answer if you ask if he knows anything about the prophecy. Understand?

Setting:

We begin in the bustling city of Fort Attica. Each character has either already been in the city for a few weeks, or just arrived on the last caravan to have entered the gate before it was sealed shut. A massive crimson cloud is slowly encasing the Western sky and might reach the city in a few day's time. Outside of the walls, there are several rampant beasts that attempt to attack the walls in packs, but to no avail. The archers maintain the safety for quite some time. Within the city, there are many merchants of all kinds throughout, as well as other events taking place. Mainly, the city center, which was the town's old water well, is hosting a lively festival to give thanks to the protectors of the city. There's a snake charmer who is currently performing on a large stage with dozens of deadly snakes dancing hypnotically to the rhythm.

Time: Noon
Season: Late Autumn
Weather: Clear and sunny,
