Fantasy Love Love Love! Quest

"Aha, yeah," Theo grinned sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck. "That would be great." Glancing up at the sky through the many branches of the forest, Theo squinted as he checked the position of the sun. Sure, doing that often could blind you but it was harder to tell with his shadow when there were so many leaves. The Violet Dancer was right. "Hey, speaking of your name," Theo started, crossing his arms and leaning against a tree. "If your name is back in your hometown, how 'bout we call you...Violet?" Grinning cheekily, Theo slowly followed behind Violet to his camp.


Coming to the camp's clearing, Theo stared at the newcomer's shocking white hair. "Oh man, what kind of stress did you go through...?" Theo laughed as he took a seat on the ground, covering his mouth before his laugh turned into a pained cough. Glancing over at Violet, Theo gave him a questioning look. It was his camp after all. "I'm all for stranger danger but what do you think, Vio?" And so the title was shortened to a nickname which was shortened to an even shorter nickname.

Alayna frowned upon hearing he wasn't a dancer dancer but a semi dancer of sorts. Better then nothing then jumped when someone emerged out of no where and walked up to the group and asking if he could join them, "Uh. Hi Stranger." she said sarcastically.


After doing that she fiddled with her fingers infront of her, then that sudden urge to set stuff on fire hit her in the face. It was so frustrating, I'm not a pyromaniac! she thought then walked over to Lorelei, "Can you answer a few questions for me..?" it was more of an awkward plea then a question.

[Sen Pai]

Raising an eyebrow at the the Violet Dancer, Lorelei frowned before giving up. "Fine," Lorelei mumbled, cheeks flushing a bright red. "Welcome to the party, Vio." Using Theo's little nickname, Lorelei huffed at the insult at her flirtation skills. She wasn't that bad at flirting, was she? Lorelei followed the group to the campsite where there was a mysterious stranger rummaging through the supplies. Frowning at the newcomer, Lorelei wondered if she'd get wrinkles from all the frowning she was doing.


When Alayna approached her, Lorelei dropped her glare that was shooting daggers at the white haired newcomer. "What is it, sugarplum fairy?"

Lucio Vlad/ Lightning Demi god


Lucio looked at the male then at the new female trying to make small talk to him, "Man why do humans have to be so annoying" he thought with a straight face he felt like a lightning storm was brewing in him. "i am not amused by the stress joke my hair is always like this" Lucio really didn't have a since of humor and when he did laugh it was at other people. the he looked over to the female and walked over to her saying "and dont call me sugarplum my sweet angle" making fun of how bad she flirted with him, Lucio had a knack for kids and immature people is what his older siblings said about him taking care o his younger siblings wounds and keeping them happy but he just dismissed that case.

"I'm not a sugarplum fairy!" she squealed. In point shoes, She had been a sugarplum fairy, (And won a few awards well she was at it). Here, No just no, "And just a few questions, A) Why do I have pointy ears?" She wasn't even sure if there was a plausible answer for that, yet she asked, "B) If Lucius ever puts his Aura around Esther again pretty please slap him across the face." this question was more serious but it was laced with humor, "And C) Why do I keep wanting to set stuff on fire! I know I'm not a pyromanic. It's just really disconcerting!" she was whisper shouting again and hoped no one other then Lorelei could hear what she was saying.

Karl was still very confused, being that that information meant almost absolutely nothing to him. But that wasn't really anything special. But the man dubbed 'Vio' seemed pretty nice. Karl decided he would stick to him for a bit. That would be an excellent choice.

"Yeah, I don't really know where I am. Also, why is your hair purple?"



That was the biggest thing bothering him. It didn't look dyed, the roots were colored, at least that was what Karl thought.

Izaria approached the messenger who had just come back to the camp with a response. The messenger straightened and told her Lucius's response. She nodded and walked toward the front of the camp and addressed the highest-ranking officer there "I will be heading south. We might not call, however you should prepare for a situation where we need back up." The shadow-like demon grabbed a large scythe that barely fit her grip and a fast horse-like creature that she could ride to get there and set out.


Izaria made it to Lucius in record time, only taking few minutes to arrive. Letting the demon horse make its way back to the camp, she watched the royal family slowly approach on demon horses. Sticking the scythe's handle into the soft dirt so it would support itself without her keeping a hand on it, she asked "What will we do when they arrive?"

 

[Sen Pai]

"You're definitely a sugarplum fairy," Lorelei shot Alayna a cheeky smile, similar to Theo's grin. Perhaps spending too much time around the earthlings had affected her flirtation skills? "And I'm not exactly sure." Eyes narrowing at the pointy ears, Lorelei pursed her lips and folded her arms under her chest, something she had missed being able to do. "But from my knowledge of Sofya and the magic portal, I believe it was for your own survival that you were given pointy ears." Gesturing to Alayna's new found elven body, Lorelei nodded in agreement with herself.


"Just like how we were turned into humans to blend in, you were turned into an elf to blend into Sofya." Pursing her lips, Lorelei took a step back and held her chin in her hand. "But humans exist in Sofya so it was most likely so you don't get killed." Sending Elle a quick glance, Lorelei relaxed, deciding that even more frowning would make her age faster. "As for your pyromaniac tendencies, say مرحبا هناك استير."


It was a big jump but Lorelei had seen it before with beast-human children. With their affinity to elemental magic, some beast-human children who were never taught elemental magic at a young age found themselves improperly learning it and setting things on fire. Or causing a tsunami.


Lorelei quickly scowled at the newcomer. "Excuse me?" Turning her attention away from Alayna for a few moments, Lorelei raised an eyebrow at the newcomer. "You're right," Lorelei snorted, turning back to Alayna. "I am an angel." Lorelei flipped her hair over her shoulder in an exaggerated motion. "The angel of death." Lorelei didn't want to fight but if she wouldn't say no if one punched her in the face.


Quickly glancing over at the chicken boy, Lorelei grimaced. Just how many people did the magic circle take from Earth?

"I'm fine with anybody staying." Parin tilts his head at Karl. "My hair's actually black. I dyed it with rare berries from Londe that soak into the hair." He continues walking, until they reach an area with a campfire, two small tents, and a larger tent. He points to one of the small ones. "This one is mine," Parin explains. He points to the larger one. "The larger one is the guest tent. It should fit all of you and your things easily. I'll be going in a little bit to set up for the performance, so you all are welcome to either stay here and cook something to eat or some and watch, however the performance is nothing special." Parin then leans in close to Theo and says something quietly.





"What exactly is this 'flirting' thing that girl was doing? Should I be concerned?"


Lucy~

Demon King Lucius Virgil von Maelorseph


@verifiedkat


Lucius looks at Izaria. "What we will do ... is this." He draws his long, skinny sword and jumps out from the trees, skidding to a stop directly in the path of the Rugias. The demon horses rear back, retreating and panicking a bit, recognizing Lucius as the current ruler of demons. The Rugias look bewildered.


"Lucius!" Lady Vasalir demands. "What is this?!"


Lucius growls, extending his aura to wrap itself around the Rugias. While they are demons, they still flinch and quiver a bit. "Begone from here!" He slashes his sword through the air. "The army and I are cutting off all ties with the Rugia family! The engagement is off, and no longer will I play by your rules!" Father Rugia goes to cast a spell in Lucius's direction, but he speaks quicker, chopping off the older man's tongue. Father Rugia roars in agony, and Mother Rugia looks a bit concerned. Lady Vasalir continues to stare at Lucius in disbelief. Lucius glances at Izaria. "We'll need to fight them off if they refuse to leave peacefully. Aid me in this task, Aschubel, and we will be free of the Rugias' corrupt reign."

 

[DestinyRed]

Alayna gave Lorelei a look, "I'm not repeating that." then walked to the tent. She poked around the in there then decided she wanted to do something. Not that being in a tent with 2 strangers, a Theo and Lorelei didn't sound appealing -It totally didn't- she just felt like dancing. Which was an urge she could easily deal with. The teen undid her braid then slipped past Parin and Theo then out of the tent. Elle warned her to stay safe so she didn't go far, just to a small clearing sitting between the forest and the Camp. She racked her brain for a dance, she didn't know what emotion she wanted to Convey but she finally decided on one. There was no music, so she danced to her memory, it wasn't happy song each step she took was mournful each breath conveying pain, the tricks even looked angry. She remembered a couple years back when she showed Esther this dance, both the teens had broken to tears.


Alayna wasn't even sure why she chose this dance, maybe it was because of the utter confusion and shock of being here, maybe it was her anger at Lucius she wasn't sure but the dance was over in what felt like mere seconds, even though it was nearly six minutes long. By the end of the song she stayed in her final position a tad teary eyed, she was just so frustrated with everything it was just nice to let it out.

Ellowyn Autumnleaf


As they walked to the castle Ellowyn answered Esther's questions. "His name was something about purple and dancing, ummm... oh Violet Dancer I think, to be honest I didn't quite hear everything. I was more concerned with the safety of the other humans and then I heard Takao talking to me in my head. He wanted me to head straight to the castle. And yes the castle has the most delicious food.. well second most delicious. The Fae lands really have the best food and they have Faery wine, it's so good. But I don't recommend it to humans, one drink and you would be drunk beyond recognition." Elle smiled at Esther, she didn't mean to babble on but she was just so excited and nervous about Takao's plan. "Wait that was only two questions, you said you had three?"


They were almost to the castle and after they came up over the last hill it could be seen in the distance. The torches were lit to welcome them. Elle scanned the walls to see if Takao was waiting for them but she didn't see him, but it was nothing to worry about, he was probably inside doing important things. "Esther I'm going to make sure that you have the nicest room and all kinds of beautiful clothes to wear, if anyone asks you can tell them you are my royal attendant and they should give you anything you need."

Takao Kieran: Hero of Sofya





Takao was inside of his main keep of the castle looking over the map of Sofya. It was all wrong.. "How are we going to come about this..The Gralde army is so massive..We won't be able to take them head on, especially not with Lucius in this mix too..Our armies together sure but..It's all wrong." With his clean hand, Takao wiped the sweat pouring from his head and sat down in his chair. "Would Lucius even side with my army..what would our armies even think of that..I need to stop over thinking this. It's getting late..Where is Elle and all of them.." A glass filled with a red wine sat in front of him, the hero reached over and grabbed it taking a small sip from it. "How I missed my wine.."

@ZaiKai


Izaria hesitated for only a split second before chucking. "I'll aid you. Its time this land sees a new family to lead." Pulling her scythe out of the ground, she walked to stand next to Lucius. She glared daggers at the Rugia family while speaking spells for protection and strength under her breath. She analyzes the royals and watches carefully for the small flutter of a hand toward a small pocket, the muscles on their faces preparing to speak spells, etc. "On your command, I'll attack."

 

[ZaiKai]

The King's Army

(Anybody in the area could hear this, but I'm only going to tag @KroNicc115 for right now.)


The soldiers linger after the Hero's short speech. The frown, looking at eachother and muttering. What was it the Hero just said? Hold off on fighting the Demon King, the only reason they're at war in the first place? What else did he say? Disengage from Rugia? The soldiers speak to eachother angrily.


"He disappears, not helping us through this entire war, and now he needs a 'favor'?"


"Why are we holding back on that sniveling wretch of a Demon King? We should kill him now!"


"How did a dumb 'Hero' like that guy end up leading us? Who elected him? Did he even go through the ranks like we did?"


"I doubt it! Does he even have God's Hand like he says he does? Does God's Hand even exist?!"


The ruckus rises until they begin chanting: "Let us fight! Let us fight! Let us fight!" The generals frown, and frantically work to calm their soldiers, but it's no use. The soldiers shove the generals around, knocking them unconscious and dragging the bodies out of the way. Grabbing their weapons from the racks and putting their helmets on, they raise their blades into the sky. "FOR SOFYA!" they cry, and begin running en masse across the field in the direction of the Rugian camp.

 

[KroNicc115]

Takao Kieran: Hero of Sofya


Takao heard a loud commotion coming from the Barracks beside the castle. He jumps out of his seat and sees them heading toward Rugia. "NO WATI!" Takao smashes the window that he was looking out of, making sure to grab his sword, he jumped out and landed to the ground softly in front of his army. "What are you all doing!? Go back into the Barracks and wait for my orders to do anything." Takao took the glove off of his god hand, revealing that it doesn't look like a normal hand, its a bit larger and has way or veins. "This? This is my god hand, since none of you believe it's real, let me show you the things I can do." He points a finger toward a nearby tree and it begins to crack under pressure. It flies off into the night sky. "Now if that's not god's hand to you men then I don't know what is. And you act like I wanted to disappear. I didn't want to leave Sofya! I'm tired of people thinking that I'm nothing and that I can't do anything! I was the son on the great king himself! Reborn by the gods of Sofya! You will hold off on the Demon king until I say so! Do I make myself FUCKING CLEAR!?!" His voice grew deeper and louder as he went through that speech. The hate and stress was becoming so overwhelming to Takao..he was going to crack soon..

 

[Lithia]

Ellowyn Autumnleaf


Ellowyn watched in horror as what seemed like the entire army charged out of the castle walls. Takao hadn't told her of this plan and the last she heard there was an uneasy truce sort of happening for the time being. When Takao started yelling at the men it became clear that they had acted on their own. Fearing for his safety with a whole army fuming mad she ran the rest of the way to the castle, which wasn't very far at this point and she was quite fast. She didn't mean to but she left Esther and didn't check to see if the girl was behind her. She would be safer if she stayed back anyway, Elle didn't want anything to happen to her.


When she got to Takao's side he was enraged. She had her daggers drawn and was ready to fight if it came to that, though she hoped it didn't. "Takao are you alright," she asked sheathing one dagger and putting her hand on his shoulder thinking her cool touch might help him calm down.

The King's Army

@KroNicc115 , @Lithia


The soldiers grumble and growl. They calm down a bit, and look at eachother, speaking quietly. That is, until one soldier jumps up off of another soldier's back and lands, standing on the heads of two other unfortunate soldiers. They wobble, a bit, but know that this soldier is nobody to mess with. Short and stout, any who discriminate against this man's stature find themselves unable to stand come dawn. He cups his hands around his mouth and shouts at the Hero with a loud, booming voice which sets some of the newer soldiers trembling.


"Tell us then, Hero!" the man bellows. "Why didn'tcha use yer so-called God Hand wherever ya disappeared to, eh?! Did God give up on ya?! Does he no longer have faith in ya after you, lusting for blood, followed after the Demon King for the kill? Pathetic!" When thinking about it, the man doesn't seem very familiar. And something seems ... off about him. He appears to have somewhat of an accent, upon inspection, but all of the soldiers appear to be in fear of him. "Ever since ya abandoned us, I've been the one who's had ta keep these soldiers in tip-top shape! They're better than they ever were when you lead them, anyhow!"


The soldiers shift around nervously, feeling their new leader may have gone too far, but they don't protest. The two under the man's boots begin to wobble with unbalance. He sighs, hopping down, and they breathe a couple sighs of relief. The man readjusts his helmet before stepping out of the crowd of soldiers, facing Takao and enjoying the distance between him and the "Hero." "What makes you special, anyhow? Why'd he resurrect you? Many more experienced soldiers died, or perhaps even escaped with their lives from the wretched fiend! Did you even scratch that Demon?! HOW CAN YOU CALL YOURSELF A HERO?!" He snaps his fingers, and the soldiers scramble around. The heave up a wooden statue of Takao, and then a couple of the army's wizards hesitantly say their spells. The statue of Takao begins to burn.

Takao Kieran: Hero of Sofya


@ZaiKai @Lithia


Words could not explain the feelings that Takao had felt toward his army..his men..his brothers that he treated the best he could.. "I..I thought I was doing you all a favor by attempting to kill the Demon King..I wanted to kill him so I could let you all be with your families again. I don't like fighting..who does..? But you do remember my grandfather don't you all. The high king of Sofya himself. The one who died and gave me rights to the throne after the Demon King's fall? I want to make Sofya a great place to live and fulfill my grandfather's legacy..To be a chieftain as great as he, to have men who were like brothers to him. That's all I ever wanted..the gods of Sofya saw that..they gave me a second chance and I'm blessed that they did. I'm sorry I abandoned you all, truly I am.." Takao sets his two-handed sword to the ground and slips the glove back over his god hand. The hero turns to the forest and Elle, a depressed and agonized look splashes over his face, as he walks passed his lover to the dark forest aside.

 

[Lithia]

Ellowyn Autumnleaf


Quietly Elle listened to the harsh words of Takao's own men. Their words both angered her and hurt her, Takao was doing the best he could and he deserved support. She shifted uncomfortably while the hero poured his heart out to his men. After Takao walked off in the direction of the forest she turned to the angry men, her princess composure coming out, "You should be ashamed of yourselves. Everything Takao does is for you, for all of Sofya. Do think that not a burden? Because I can assure you it is no easy task. There is not one among you who could do any better." She stood her ground staring down the men, "Should you decide to act again against the will of the hero you expect to save you and your families, know that you will be standing with your very enemy. Think twice before you act for some actions cannot be undone and you may very well condemn us all to death."


Ellowyn turned and went in the direction Takao had taken the trees hiding her view of his path. It didn't matter that it was dark or that she didn't know the way, she could feel the life of the forest around her. "Takao," she whispered walking to his side, "Will you be alright?"

 

[KroNicc115]

Takao Kieran: Hero of Sofya


@Lithia


Takao sat on the ground in a nice sized cut out of the trees, taking off his unnecessary armor, scarf, belt, sheathe, and gloves. Only pants, tank top, and greaves. The hero's hair covering his face as he looked down to the ground. His lover followed him to make sure he was okay.. "I..I don't know Ellowyn..I'm broken and lost once again. As I was before.." Takao held up his God hand, which was his right hand. "Before this..It helped me so much, but caused me so much despair equally.." A tear shown through the hair of the Hero, he patted his hand in front of him. "Come here my dear..I just..I just want to focus on us.."

 

[Lithia]

Ellowyn Autumnleaf


Ellowyn sat on the soft grassy ground in front of Takao. She gently brushed his hair out of his eyes. "They don't know what they are saying you know. They were lost and afraid with you gone. They had to figure things out on their own and now with you back they are struggling with the fear of you disappearing again." Elle knew how much Takao cared about his people and that there wasn't a whole lot she could say to make the situation better. "I'm here if you need to talk about it and you can't be broken or lost because I will always find you and help you put the pieces back together again."


Ellowyn looked at the forest all around them, "Doesn't it feel right to be back here? Even if things aren't going exactly as planned, it feels good to be home again right?" The sounds of the forest were peaceful and comforting for her, and she used her glamour to make the air around them calm and soothing for Takao. She didn't want him to regret his decision to come home.

 

[ZaiKai]

Demon King Lucius Virgil Rugia


@verifiedkat


Lucius looks at Izaria. "You take on Mother Rugia, I'll take on her husband." He leaps to the side, advancing toward Father Rugia quickly. The older man gargles in anger and disappointment, leaping from his horse and ramming toward Lucius. Lucius dodges the older man's horns, then slices his sword into the man's back. The demon roars, then whips his fist across Lucius's face. Lucius growls, continuing to engage the man in combat. I suppose I may have to kill him after all. If he refuses to let us leave peacefully ... then that is the only solution. Thrusting his sword forward, he gives Father Rugia a nasty slash on the arm, listening to the older man's roars of pain and anger.

 

[KroNicc115]

Takao Kieran: Hero of Sofya


@Lithia


Takao let off a small smile as she mentioned their home..their..home. Sofya. The gods of this land saw something inside of him and so did many others. There was no reason to be sad or upset about this..just explain himself and try to hold up. "Elle my dear..thank you..I know we may not have been together for a while but..this feels perfect and something I could get used to. I love having you by my side, not just as a warrior in my army..but as an equal." Takao Caressed the cheek of the Fae woman before him, shining a small smile beneath the tears streaming down his cheeks.

Mother Rugia makes a low-pitch noise that sounds like growling and advances toward her on her horse and draws a knife out of her robes. Izaria barely avoids the blade and grabs grabs one of Mother Rugia's appendages, pulling her off the horse and onto the ground. The horse rears in pain when she slashes it's leg and gives it a shallow wound to spook it off. Mother Rugia scrabbles up quickly and throws the knife toward Izaria. It lands in her arm, the area welling up in something like black tar. Izaria chuckles and walks toward the now-weaponless Queen. She scrambles back and Izaria pulls the knife out of her arm with a sickening pop. Examining the blade, she critiques it. "Not a bad blade you gave me." She pulls the queen toward her by her traditional robes and holds the knife to her exposed neck, making a simple symbol in magic-language with the blade. Mother Rugia is visibly shaking at this point and tries to speak a warding spell. Her expression turns to downright desperation when it doesn't work. But slowly, her struggling ceases and she slums the the blood stained grass below them. Izaria had written a simple spell so she would loose consciousness. "Mother Rugia will not be getting up for awhile."

 

[Lithia]

Ellowyn Autumnleaf


Ellowyn blushed at Takao's words, "It does feel like this is how things are supposed to be doesn't it?" She didn't want to ruin the moment by bringing up the fact that she was still engaged to a Fae prince. They would have to do something about that soon. "It's a beautiful night out," she said as he put his hand against her cheek. "I'm glad we came back, even if things aren't perfect." Elle listened to the sounds of the forest around hear, and if she listened close she could hear the army of men just outside the treeline arguing about what they should do. At least some of them had changed their minds and wanted to follow Takao again. "Should we go check on your men or stay here a bit longer, my love?"
