The Summoning
This RP is set in an alternate reality to our own. In it, the world runs much like our own, only each continent of the globe is ruled, in secret, by thirteen immortals, called the Summoners. They each have special powers with which to rule and keep the humans in order. They each live underground--literally, and report to the High Summoner, who lives in the Artic Circle.
Each Summoner has an animal companion, whom they share their powers with. These animals can also take their pain when necessary, even save them from death (which is only possible if they are torn to shreds, and the shreds incarcerated). They can communicate quite fluently with their owners, but communication with the other Summoners is strained, and rarely can they talk with humans.
Only the governments of the world know about the Summoners. Until, one fateful day, the government of the United States of America is wiretapped. A conversation between the Commander in Chief and the Summoners' Spokesperson is heard, and all is revealed. The Summoners find out, and exterminate the tappers and destroy the tape and all copies...except one, smuggled out by an unknown accomplice.
This copy is given to a very powerful and rich man, who enlightens his own group of radicals, declaring war on the unsuspecting immortals.
This is where our story begins.
Still Needed:
Ten Summoners, (at least) ten human radicals, and one villian.
Roles Taken:
High Summoner (]Impetigo[)
Summoner #1 (Ablepsy)
Summoner #2 (Riame Nyaki)
Summoner #3 (hotangelictomboy)
Summoner #4 (gaaralover1234)

Somewhere in the Arctic Circle:
Akria sits in a black pseudo-leather swivel chair in front of a lit-up desktop. Several monitor screens flicker in their black-and-white glory before her...other than that, there is no other light in the room. The room is subterranean, and thus the walls and floor are made of natural stone. There is a large red rug under Akria's swivel chair, but it is the only other furnishing.
An unseen door opens in the cave wall, and bright, artificial light spills in, causing bright glare on all monitors. Akria swivels around, eyes squinting in light, to see Iverick, her polar bear companion, come lumbering in. He places his head in her lap, and looks up at her with eerie eyes that mimic her own.
'Something's amiss.' he says softly within her mind. She nods.
"Don't I know it." She swivels back towards the monitors, and watches them grimly.

In the plains of Iceland:
Aithne took a wary breath in.
She sat in her black swivel chair, a hard and cold plastic, leaning back, legs crossed. A stark black raven sat on her outstretched arm.
The familiar white glow of her silver laptop highlighted the sapphire sheen of her hair, which matched her eyes. A simple line sat in the page of the word processor.
'The day the stars shall shine no more.'
"Something is certainly amiss, eh, Karass?" She said sadly, gazing into the ravens onyx eyes.
The bird fluttered and landed atop the screen when she suddenly swirled to the desk upon which it lay. She grabbed a pen and blank paper, and scrawled madly onto it, forever tarnishing it's glorious white.
She rolled it up, tied it with her signature blue string, on which a small sapphire hung, and handed it to Karass.
'To whom is this?' The birds voice echoed coldly in her mind.
"Akria." Aithne replied, and the bird flew through the wall, it melding like water and then immediately retaining its shape.

Akria types away furiously at her desktop, one large monitor on the bottom center displaying a large, urgent message. Karass the raven sits patiently on the arm of Akria's chair, and caws at her, obviously conveying a sense of anxious anticipation.
"Settle down, bird. I'll reply to her in like fashion. But first I must send out the call. I just got a report from Washington, DC." Akria sighs, knowing the bird probably only understands one word in ten. However, her statement seems to pacify him, and he sits more patiently. Iverick observes this with bemused eyes, silently chortling at Akria's flustered demeanor.
"There. What do you think, Iv?"
'Quite taciturn, per usual.'
"That's good. No need to be overly formal about this." She glares at the screen with her letter. "We are at war with a gaggle of humans, and our secrecy could be exposed."
-To All Summoners!
We are in danger. A breech has been reported in Washington, DC, capital of the American District. All units on alert for foul play.
A meeting is in order. Usual place. Be there as the sun sets, five sharp. Please destroy this letter upon retrieval.
~Akria, High Summoner

Aithne snapped out of her meditation when her computer began to hum loudly, signalling an important message. She quickly arose and checked the blinking monitor.
Her eyes widened in understanding and fear and she scanned the message over and over. Aithne looked towards the faux wall when Karass' cawing caught her attention.
'Danger. We must report immediately.' He said frantically in her head.
"Yes, I assume we must." She threw on her tattered scarf, held out her arm for Karass, and left her hidden home.
She closed her eyes, a whirlwind began to pick up infront of the two.
Aithne pulled out two large wing-like cloths from each side and ran into the whirlwind. The fast gusts drew her up in an instant.
She focused ever harder, and she and the whirlwind rose higher into the air, until you could only faintly see them, with Karass in her wake.
"Such a bother, needing to glide so high. The silly humans should never have taken to the skies."

Akria taps a few things into her desktop, mumbling something about cameras. Instantly, a little webcam pops up before her, and her monitors turn into one huge monitor, which shows a large, domed room, with huge, wall-to-wall windows. A large expanse of mountains encircles the domed meeting hall. A large table takes up the entire room, big enough to sit at least seventy. She knows that not all Summoners will reply to her call. Only the ones closest to her. Her elite thirteen.
The sun reflects off the snow-capped peaks, shining through the windows into the room, shining into her own room by default. Her corresponding monitor takes up the entire windowless wall, except for a corner where the door is. The building was built for Summoners, by Summoners. It is the only place where they can see daylight. Akria cannot see true daylight even if she wanted to. She therefore revels in this imitation of daylight, and she knows she will mediate within it for several hours, when her thirteen have arrived.
'The Alps are quite beautiful this year.'
"I agree." Akria's gaze remains on the far-off view of snowy peaks. She slowly closes her eyes, and begins to meditate.
Iverick closes his eyes and joins her, waiting patiently with his companion, as he has for nearly three centuries.

Few hours pass by as the roaring Atlantic Ocean speeds below Aithne and Karass. Every so often they lower and skim the cold waters surface, but then pop back up and somersault about through the air.
Karass caws happily as they finally reach their destination.
Aithne commands the winds to slow and gently let her down, she stumbles a bit in her landing but quickly gains back her composure.
"No matter how many decades, landing is still a force to reckon with." She chuckles gently, as Karass lands on her shoulder.
She walks through a magnificent door, taking a few wary steps inside.
"Akria... I've arrived." She calls out gently. "Karass, go search for her, if you will."
'As you command.' Karass' gentle yet stern voice replies, and he flutters off of her shoulder down the corridor.
Aithne closes her eyes, spreads out her arms, and softly and slowly spins about the room, her flowing decals trailing after her.
'I remember coming here with Erick once... It was wonderful.'
A sad smile creeps up upon her face, and a small sigh escapes.

"Aithne? Can you hear me?" Akria watches as Aithne turns around and spots the ever present monitors.
Akria smiles shyly at her successor. Even as High Summoner, in a position of leadership, even before her closest thing to a friend, she is shy and hesitant.
"You're very early. By at least three or four hours." She checks her clock. Yes, 1:30 on the dot.

A blush creeps upon Aithne's face as she realizes she's been caught.
She glides over towards Akria and presents herself with a simple bow.
"It's an honor, forgive me, I was lost in thought. And yes, you know me, ever early." She chuckled nervously.
"How have you been these past few years since I've seen you?
You seem just as graceful and pleasant as the last."
Karass perched atop Aithne's shoulder and cooed.
She quietly whispered something to him and he fluttered off through the doors.
Aithne gave Akria a warm, true smile and tucked her hands behind her back.

Akria waves away the formalities with a pale, slender hand. "You know me, busy as ever. I'm sorry I didn't reply to your last message. I was busy writing out that urgent calling. But now we can catch up face-to-face...or at least as face-to-face as we can be for now."
Iverick stands precariously on his his hind legs, so he is able to be seen by Aithne. He makes a low "wuff" sound, conveying his own greetings. Akria smiles fondly, and scratches him behind the ears.

"Hello to you, too, Iverick."
Aithne waves childishly to the bear.
"Have you been doing anything since we've last spoken?"
She had an unreadable look on her face, and she tilted her head partially to the side. She fidgets for a moment with the chain on her glove.

"Just worrying for the sake of our kind." Akria leans back in her swivel chair, somehow managing to seem nonchalant. "I have important news to discuss later. Let's keep the conversation light."
'As if you have anything to say other than Summoning business.'
'Shut up, Iv.'

"No need in the world to worry."
Aithne smiled at the two's antics, and was about to make a comment, when Karass came bustling in.
'Aithne, you've business to attend to pertaining the incident.' Karass whispered in their minds.
A shocked look crossed Aithne's face and she became flustered.
"Akria... I-I have some personal matters to attend to! I shall be back before sunset."
She took a quick bow and scurried off.

Akria stares blankly at the suddenly empty room.
"All alone again. I do hope they'll hurry up. I wonder what made her leave so quickly?"
'Some people have lives...unlike a certain someone I know.'
"Will you drop the subject, Iverick?"
'Sorry, sorry. I'm just in another mood.'
"I guess I can understand. Ah, well, more catching up on meditation, I suppose."
