A Game of Survival

[Ricia]

((1x1x1 between myself, InsaneTruth and Thomas))


In a palace of pure gold, know as the god palace, sat a rather bored god of Chaos and tricks named Kai. He was scanning random worlds when it hit him, the best idea ever! He'd throw eight people from different places in one post apocalyptic one and watch them try to survive. Oh what fun it would be, he knew just the people to pick!


A bluenett was cuddled up next to a brown haired elf in some soft furs. They were sleeping peacefully together until they felt the person next to them start to disappeared suddenly. They opened their eyes for a moment before they also felt themselves disappeared. They however were not transported onto the desolate planet, but to the god palace itself.


A Galevnt named Raver was sleeping next to his master, holding him tightly. He was asleep for once, until he felt the sudden jolt of being moved somewhere he was not suppose to be. Still holding on to the small boy in his arms, the Raven Galvent growled at all the new members in the area once they stopped moving. Where were they?! They were in the forest a few moments ago... now they are in a broken building. The black winged man's eyes traveled form person to person, judging what kind of threats they could be.


Lucky was sneaking about the night, ready to steal yet another scroll from some bag. She opened up the chest slowly after finishing picking the lock. She tucked the tools back into her belt safely before reaching for the scroll. Just as she grabbed it, she felt her very body get pulled from where she was, and the next thing she knew, she was standing in a broken down building holding a scroll. "What the hell?" She said turning around to look at the other people in the house. The halfling scratched her wild green hair while she looked around at the others. Quickly she fixed her large utility belt and tried to asses her escape route.


Chemi was lazying outside in the sun. She was laying in her tiger form waiting of her brother to return from hunting. It was his turn today. She hopped that he brought her fish. That was one of her favorite things to hunt. Specially flying fish. Though Chemi's happy thoughts were disrupted when suddenly she was yanked where ever she was laying and onto hard and dusty ground. She shook herself and got up, taking her human form to look around. Chemi's pale orange hair was a bit fluffed from her sudden scare, small tiger ears popped out from the side of her head, her tail swung to her sides. She looked mildly terrified of what was happening.

Leon was walking a young girl to some apartment chatting idly toying with what he imagines to come next. He looks up at the night sky, wondering how long the crew will allow him to stay docked in this port, the profit they made was pretty d*mn good and Leon had enough time to resupply the liquor cabinet on ship, not to mention a few extra parts to tinker with. The girl started to speak but before he could ask her what she said, he felt himself being pulled away, seconds later he found himself in a run down old building. "Where, the f*ck am I?"


Aleksie was watching a band in a tavern listening to their music remembering when he, his mother, and little brother would watch performers who would come to the palace for their amusement. Their music was more structured and far less playful than this, yet this is some how better. He begins to wonder if that was because these musicians are having drunk. suddenly the music stopped and he felt himself being pulled away from the tavern. No, not just the tavern, this world. When he feels like he has stopped movin, Aleksie scowls and looks around. Aleksie thinks to himself This place is odd, it looks as if these dead walls are once again being taken over by new life.

 

[InsaneTruth]

A prince with fair silver hair was in his lab blue silk robes tied back to be out of his way the cloth under britches a soft cream color his undershirt the same way. He was looking for ingredients to finish his current potion painted black nails gently tapped the jars as he looked. He was dripping with gems even in his work clothing and a glowing red pendant hung on a gold chain around his delicate pale neck. Wings flexed idly till he was abruptly tugged from his cozy lab and thrown into a broken down building the prince looked around... he was not amused.


Kat gasped pulled from be he reached for his blunett companion but was unsuccessful at stopping the pull instead he found himself in the god palace in a familiar messy room belonging to the god he worshiped. The blunett god smiled at Kat. "Welcome Kat, Death," he said in a fond lighthearted way. The blunett Kat had been sleeping with was there as well.


"Kai... Sage? what?" Kat was wide awake a bit miffed at being taken from his warm furs and brought to Kai's almost chaotically messy office.


Shurcain held onto his galvent partner when he was awakened by the pull he was scared his fave hidden in the ravens chest he heard a growl from Raver and he froze growls ment danger and he was weaponless, however Raver was well strong enough to protect them both. The boy's dirty blonde hair was a bit disheveled.

 

[Ricia]

Sage crossed their arms and started at the god, "Kai, what is this about? You know if you wanted something from me then you could have done it in a less annoying fashion." Sage was ticked.


-----


Chemi stood and dusted herself off a bit, "Hey..." She said timidly, greeting the other people in the room. "So... does anyone know what is going on?" She asked, hoping the initial shock of the transportation .


Raver of course was still more then very wary of the people in the building. He didn't speak, he just tried to look as intimidating as he could. He had to for Shurcain.


Lucky sighed, "We are obviously in a building! I think this scroll did this!" Lucky said waving around the large paper she had in her hands.

 

[Thomas]

Aleksie sees the magical scroll and frowns "I do not mean to be the bearer of bad news, young one, but your scroll does not seem to be active, also I do not think that is teleportation magic emitting from it." Aleksie sighs from confusion.


Leo turns to see Aleksie "Oh for f*ck's sake, you're here?" Leon's annoyance is near palpable.


"Artemis guide me. What are you doing here, Captain?" Aleksie sighs just now noticing Leon


"Sight seeing, F*ck stick, what do you think" Leon glares but Aleksie dissmisses him.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kai smiled at Sage and Kat "Why dear death I was bored and came up with a most wonderful game," Kai crossed legs and leaned back in his chair "I had grown bored all of a sudden I just wanted to warn you I am splitting you and Kat for a short time, no harm will come to Kat so don't glare at me Death," he said not giving his champion time to really get too mad.


"Seperate us... will Sage still be your champion in this game?" Kat asked


"Of course, I can't let my 'big brother' go to a new world without my blessings." Kai chuckled using the fact Sage most often refered to him as a little brother instead of the chosen god.


The cursing had set Shurcain into a bit more of a fearful state. "Raver," he said in a soft breath "Should i let go so you can fight?" he asked.


Zek glared at the two arguing "yelling and cursing is not nessasary, obviously nobody here was brought by choice this magic is god magic, I can't see the source though," his voice was cold like his expression the young prince had to be around 17 by the looks of him.

 

[Ricia]

"Alright. Fine. I agree to this. Be safe alright, Kat?" Sage said looking at Kat. He was trying to convince himself that this would be fun.


---


Lucky looked at the scroll in her hand when the guy told her it wasn't even active. She didn't even know what it did. She started to wave the scroll around trying to get it to work, but to no effort. She ignored the two yelling for the most part, concerned about something other then the fact she was lost with a group of unknown people.


Chemi shrunk a bit when the two men started to yell. She really didn't want to watch them fight. They knew each other but Chemi didn't know anyone from here and that terrified her more then anything. She had never been away from her brother or tribe for long.


Raver on the other hand spoke quietly to Shurcain, "It's alright Master... I think they are more interested in each other."

 

[Thomas]

Aleksie looks curiously at Zek "God Magic? Please explain." Artemis would not send me to such a vile place with such odd people, would she?





Leon slowly slinks to Chemi's side and feigns a gentlemanly manner "Oi, love, did my squabble offend ye? I am terribly sorry, can I make it to you?" Leon holds her hand and looks sorry, kind of.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kai appeared in the building with Kat "Laddies and Gentleman to introduce myself I am Kai the god of Tricks and Chaos I grew bored and brought you here," he said "this boy here is your lifeline,"


"Hi I'm Kat... I'm a wood elf!" Kat said happily as always a bright smile on his face his wild brown hair giving his a childish look. "I am an assassin!"


"Yes Kat,": Kai chuckled "Death is after you all so avoid it at all coasts it'll amuse me more if you live longer however i will not let anyone home... till everyone dies," he said with that he left not letting anyone speak to him.


Zek groaned "it had to be him of all the gods," he rubbed his forehead with a sigh.


Shurcain shuddered "die... all of us?" he asked softly mostly to Raver.

 

[Ricia]

Raver growled, "I won't let you die Master. I promise I will protect you, if you please I can kill all of them now, save us the trouble of surviving." He offered, "Then I will kill myself. When you return home, find me... it will take a few years." he whispered to Shurcain while the others talked.


Chemi looked terrified. She didn't want to die! She didn't even know who this god was! It was not god of hers... Leon's advances were almost instantly forgotten with the appearance of Kai and his threat. She looked at the wood elf named Kat, their new supposed 'life line.'


"WHOA!! It's the god of chaos! I totally worship you too! You are like... my idol!" Lucky said, then she started to mutter about the time she pulled a rather cool prank on a guy at a tavern. His reaction was apparently priceless. No one was really listening to her however.

 

[Thomas]

Aleksie scowls and begins to figure out how he will manage to kill everyone here. Artemis, help me defy this false god.





Leon takes a step back "Hold up, we don't need to go kill eachother, there has to be another way to appease you, I can tell jokes."

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kat giggled "you can appease Kai but you have to amuse him to do it," Kat looked at Lucky "You worship him too! we should stick together!"


Zek looked at Leon "tell jokes... really?" he asked "Kai is known for being cruel not for his sence of humor... where are you from? I am Zekhiromaru crown prince of the Terrin throne son of Numair,"


Shurcain shook his head no "No I can't we'll get out together! I'm yours always Kai made it so remember?"

 

[Ricia]

Raver looked down at the ground and sighed, "Yes Master. I will do as you wish. I will not kill anyone unless attacked first." He then send glares around the room, but most everyone seem to be in a world of their own. When Zek introduced himself Raver decied this might he a great place to start 'bonding' for survival. "My name is Raver. This is Master Shurcain. He is my life. I am born from the god Amethis. Son of Aura."


Chemi looked among the people as well. "Umm... my name is Chemi... I came from the Waterlions. I, don't know what world." She said with a smile, not as timidly as she was earlier now with some kind of explanation as to what was happening.


Lucky on the other hand was brimming with energy, "Our god picked us to participate in one of his games!!! Doesn't that sound AMAZING!" Lucky spouted, "My name is Lucky, I'm a halfling! The name means everything because I am the luckiest person you will ever meet!" She told them, still waving the scroll around.

 

[Thomas]

Aleksie bows deeply to Zek "My name is prince Aleksie Yukov. Heir to the Artic Crown. Voice of the true Goddess Artemis."


More directing his greeting to Chemi than any one else. "Captain Leon Jacobson, Ace pilot and entrepreneur. I have sailed every kind of sea you can image, even space itself."

 

[InsaneTruth]

Zek looked at him "perhaps in your world I unfortunatly am a worshiper of the trickster as is my father and his father before," Zek said "Also a mage a high mage,"


Kat giggled "Lucky... such an odd name i like it,"


Shurcain slowly looked at everyone with big chocolate brown eyes he still refused to let go of Raver however.

 

[Ricia]

Chemi almost stared blankly at the Captain, "What is a Ace Pilot? and an entre.. entrap..puner?" She said trying to form the large word in her mouth. Though she smiled soon afterwords, "However the fact that you have been over the seas is soothing that seems amazing. I've lived near water all my life... My tribe and I fish in them often."


Lucky beamed and spun around in a circle with her scroll.


Raver turned to look at Shurcain, "We should leave... We don't need them." He said, yet again trying to convince his master of things. He obviously won't and can't do much without Shurcain's approval. he was chained to the boy after all.

 

[Thomas]

Aleksie turns his attention to the entire group. "May I make a suggestion to everyone? It may benefit all to cooperate. We were each chosen for a specific reason, maybe we can use this reason prolong our survival, who knows we may even sate this malicious god and be allowed to return our homes." Aleksie looks from face to face stands with his normally excellent posture. "Please say you agree with me"


Leon generally ignores this and continues to flirt with Chemi "One time, I traded two hundred pounds of fish to woodsman colony back home, but we had to catch it with a ratty old net. It ended up being so much fun that my first mate and I end up going back there every summer to fish. Not to mention the gold is nice." Leon laughs at his story.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Zek sighed "I seriously don't think you can sate Kai... he's an over powered insane child,"


"Heeeeyyyy I like Kai he is amazing!" Kat whined the elf being childish and a bit pouty.


"You may but most on't," Zek said "however splitting may be counter productive to survival it may also prove smart any tyime one of us could turn on the others and kill them."


"Do... do you think it is best to go out there alone?" Shurcain asked Raver

 

[Ricia]

Raver sighed and leaned back to listen to the group talk. He'll figured out how it goes. "I don't know Master..."


Chemi listened to Leon, rather impressed with the story he was tell, no doubt in her mind he was remotely exaggerating. Though her mind was pulled away from the man when people started to talk about what their next plan of action should be. "Um... didn't that Kai guy say that Kat was our life line?" She asked a bit timidly.


"Well I don't know what you guys are doing, but I am staying with Kat!" Lucky declared.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Chances are the game is to run from Death the pet name Kai gave his champion," Kat said "if Death finds us... I sugest we run you can't beat death,"


Shurcain shuddered at the thought he didn't want to die and he did not want Raver hurt.


"Lovely Death the champion of the trickster has taken down an entire temple of the goddess of creation even injured her champion after supposedly dieing," Zek said "If that is what we run from I say we do it quietly and not make loud unnessasary noises,"

 

[Thomas]

Leon is taken back when Chemi stops giving him attention. "Huh? Oh yeah. What were you guys talking about. Running away? Leon Jacobson does not run from a fight!" Leon makes a heroic pose.


Aleksie calls him a moron under his breath. "If this 'Death' can attack and injure devine champions then I doubt reckless heroics are not the best option. So I guess our first action should to be gather our bearings."

 

[Ricia]

"No no, Death is a divine champion, they are the god who sent us here Champion! Its a known fact that the Goddess of Creation and the God of Chaos are at war, so it was only natural for him to destroy the tower! Not a lot of people know about Death though... they only hear rumors!" Lucky said in a mater of fact way. "Doesn't that sound exciting?!"


"No... not really..." Chemi said. The situation seem to only get worse.


"Not only that, we need to secure a food source, a water source. We need a safe place..." Raver chimed in finally taking on a roll other then trying to convince the young boy by his side to let him kill someone.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kat chuckled "I suggest we move out! we won't find anything sitting here twiddling thumbs I am a master of survival prollyt why Kai gave me to you,"


"I agree... staying in one place seems... counter productive," Zek agreed with KAt.


Shurcain was still waiting for Ravers words if Raver thought it was safe alone he'd go out with Raver alone.

 

[Thomas]

Aleksie sighs defeatedly. "I am afraid I am not well equipped for exploration and survival. I wasn't expecting this occasion."


Leon looks to the group for any amount of assurance. "Well. Lets be off then."

 

[Ricia]

Chemi smiled and raised her had, "I live off the wild all my life!" She told them. "I can help with survival as well."


Raver looked to Shurcain, "Stay close to the group... I will go up ahead to check for danger.." Raver almost darted ahead of everyone else before he walked up to the door of the stone house they where in and pushing on it. The door itself so so rotted it pretty much just toppled over when Raver touched it.


Lucky shrugged, "I'm just lucky... you don't need anything else!" Chemi cringed a little at the sudden crash of the door.


Chemi and Raver both smelled the air like animals. Chemi smelled lost of dust.. mold and plants. No water. Raver smelled a lot of the same thing.


Raver continued to move foreword and cautiously, he looked around the area. On one side there was a very large forest looking area... on the other looked like a run down town. Much of the building were taking over by wild life. What ever had been here had been dead for years. "It's clear I believe."
