Fantasy The Book of Humanity: Rising Kingdom

[Hototo]

A group of five warriors surround the prince, their swords drawn and aimed at his neck. Emelth retracts his wings, making himself smaller and takes his stance. The first warrior attacks from behind, the prince pivots and turns. The sword passes to his right, his lance hits the knights chest breaking his armor and sends him flying back. Emelth had no intention of killing his brethren. The remaining guards didn't care, they only wanted revenge for the death of their king and attacked all at once. He blocked two strikes with his lance and one with the scales on his arm. The generals sword pierced his scaleless abdomen. Emelth growled angrily and roared as his push the three away and stabbed the general in his chest. His dominance frightened one of the guards causing him to flee in fright. Emelth's cursed blackened blood spilled on the ground. A ruffling went through his scales as they changed from pink to black and back again.

 

[Kabochamp]

Seeing that Emelth had been surrounded, Ryuunosuke took a running jump and used his pole to propel him over the heads of the warriors, landing close by so he could be of help and spinning his pole around his shoulder in a wide circle to gain them space before lunging forward. He had no intent to kill but he wasn't the type to hold back when someone he knew was in danger. As they fought he could see the black blood and the scales and they sent a small shiver down his spine but he suppressed it and continued to defend Emelth; taking a good few hits but managing to avoid getting any deep wounds.

 

[Hototo]

Using his strength, Emelth manages to knock the two guardss away from Ryu and straight into the ocean. Emelth smiles over at Ryu and nods to thank him. The sound of marching can be heard down the street. The fire illuminates a group of twenty draconian warriors as the march towards them. Emelth turns to face them he looks down as the blood turns thick and tarry. 'Maybe...' He thought as he looked around at the destruction. 'It would be better to give up.' Emelth shakes his head trying to dismiss the thought. He can't give up to till his name is cleared. The task seemed impossible at this point. A nation was going against him a platoon was marching on his position. Emelth took his lance and unfurled his wings ready to strike. "Ryu!" He called over. "I'm going to need the help of your wings, jump on my back." The closest guards start charging, Emelth closes his eyes and gets ready. The scales on his legs have become fully black.

 

[Kabochamp]

Ryuunosuke went pale but did as he was asked, trying not too seem too nervous. "I'll do my best but... My wings are weak..." He warned as he unfurled them tentatively; finally getting a good view of everything that was taking place. He took a deep breath and steadied himself, focusing hard on Emelth so that he wouldn't mess up him plan. As he got onto his back he noticed the scales apprehensively but put it out of his mind. "What do you need?"

 

[Hototo]

Emelth cringes a bit as Ryu gets on his back. "Just flap your wings and fold them right before we hit." He starts flapping his wing ferociously causing them to lift up a few feet. They back up and Emelth flaps his wings propelling them forward into the crowd of draconians. His wing fold up as he dives into the pool of swords. He manages to cut a path, knocking back half of them. Black tar slowly drips from the wounds on his chest. He fly's out the other side and spreads his wings once more. He lifts up and turns around for another lance. Suddenly his wing fully breaks in mid flight sending Emelth straight into the ground. He manages to grab hold of Ryu and flips over, protecting his friend from the fall. They land a couple yards from the last 10 draconians.

 

[Kabochamp]

As they hurl forward, Ryuunosuke manages to do as he was asked but retracted his wings too slowly and got a slash down his right one, deciding to deal with the pain later he does his best to support Emelth, growling slightly at being protected and jumping up once they land, drawing his bow and taking a deep breath before loosing a fire arrow into the draconian ranks, letting it hit and warriors armor and explode; giving him time to draw his wooden arrows and loose a few before the first warriors come within fighting range. After using his magic he was being more careful than usual and took more time switching his weapon, gaining a slash to his left shin and only just managing to counter attack. " Hey, are you still okay?" He threw back to Emelth as he continued to keep them at bay.

 

[Hototo]

Emelth wasn't okay he was slowly loosing his blood, his wing was crippled, and all hope seemed lost. It killed him that he had caused such destruction and death. The screams of townsfolk died out as the last of them ran into the woods. The only noise left was the sounds of orders being shouted, marching, and metal hitting metal. Emelth stood up to answer Ryu. "I'm..." To his horror his scales had turned black, the only part of him that stayed pink was his hair. The world around him started growing feint. He could feel himself loosing control. "Ryu get out of here!" Emelth tried to stay conscious by attacking the guards. If he could just get rid of them all before he changed, perhaps he wouldn't transform.

 

[Kabochamp]

He could tell that something was wrong with Emelth, more than just the many injuries and the guilt, but since he had no idea what was about to happen he had no intention to run just yet. He continued fighting off as many warriors as possible, shouting over to him: "is there anything I can do?" hoping that there was something, anything at this point. If there weren't other people still around he could risk his magic but in this situation he didn't dare. In his frustration he jabbed harder than he intended and sent a long flare out into the attackers with a low growl.

 

[Hototo]

Emelth takes a shot at the guards that try and surround him, missing two but stunning one. He comes back, swing his lance like a bat, and hits the knight into a crumbling building. Just then the sight of fire magic startles the ground forces. Mages rarely join a ground war. "Use your magic! To stun them, I can take care of the rest." Emelth attacks the two guards with a quick counter. His strike knocks the first into the ocean while the swipe knocks the second unconscious.

 

[Kabochamp]

Tries, using all his concentration on control and sending blasts at the remaining soldiers. He had to take a few moments to recover but managed to attack in time, sending one warrior flying back and shocking the rest with strong jabs to the chest plate, denting the armor slightly to make it impossible to continue fighting. "Was... That okay?" He panted as he dropped to his knees to recover, wiping his forehead and taking slow calming breaths.

 

[Hototo]

The draconians hit by the fire stumbled, dazed and heavily injured. Elemth ran past Ryu and struck the first guard knocking him fifty feet back. His lance jabs at each knight, sending the into various directions. The last Draconian managed to get the jump on Elemth, he had broken from his stun and stabbed the prince just as he turned. With the last bit of strength he stabbed the knight in the chest. Both of the fell to the ground. The poor knight died while Elemth held his wound.

 

[Shadow Dancer]

I killed the draconian solider and got out my bow, Drawing an arrow I aimed and killed one the arrow having enough force to enter and stick out the other side of the Draconian's scaled neck. I saw the Draconian and elf from earlier fighting the invaders, and concentrated on some more that were attacking the town itself.

Aer ran outside when he heard the commotion, Luca by his side. "What's going on?!" he cried, and the dog crouched down, a snarl corrupting her once friendly face. The ginger adolescent took out a small sword he had and shakily held it between both hands, unsure of what to do with it. Should he fight? He wasn't exactly the best fighter, especially due to his size and age.

(sorry, what did i miss?)

[Kabochamp]

After regaining some strength, Ryuunosuke ran over to Emelth and quickly bound his wounds to stop the bleeding. He wasn't really very good at that sort of thing but he was worried about the amount of blood that Emelth had lost. "It's not much..." He muttered as he got out some more bread for him. He looked around at the almost ruined port town slowly and hung his head a little, feeling guilty that his race had been the ones to do this without a moments thought.

 

[LinkInMyHead]

(Sorry if this one isnt so exciting... I'm not a fight scene kinda person *shittyest fight scene writer ever <--* but i've not been around and it'll help cheer my bessie up some) Notices the fire someway into the forests groves as a bright orange glow reigning down through the canape of leaves; Aminend turns back towards the port town, picking up speed as he hears the cries of villagers retreating into the forests safety. A lone Draconian soldier had mingled into their hoard, chasing after anyone who seemed to falter or fall behind; with graceful quite movements he hid himself behind a tree and waited until the soldier was closer by, effortlessly gliding round his hiding place, producing his small, slim dagger, and aimed it into the soldiers back between his shoulder blades and wings. The soldier buckled and tried to veer round for a last glimpse of his attacker, but Aminend was too fluid and fast; he swiftly unearthed the dagger from him, small droplets of blood beading its tip and tumbling off as he made his way back to the port town. He didnt have much time to try and treat every casualty he saw, his main concern was of the two Draconians he'd met at the tavern and the children that had been there...

 

[Hototo]

The town burned.


A nation weeping for it's king cries for revenge. A glorious prince turned cursed murderer. Homes crumbled, ships sank into the ocean, soldiers march. Smoke blocks out the night sky, fire hisses as it touches the water, a wounded would be king lays on the ground. His draconian appearance mixed with human. The cursed blood running through his veins spills onto the ground. The sword in his stomach dissolves into nothing. A friend rushes to his aid offering a piece of bread. Chuckling softly he takes the bread into his hand and slowly eats it. The sugar caused his blood to slowly replenish but not nearly as fast as he was loosing it. This could easily be the end for the once crowned prince. "Don't let it end here." He begs to a greater entity. "There's so much more to do." The onyx scales on his form slowly turned pink. Hope was all the Draconian had left but it was fading. "You know I've always loved the smell of rain and fire.," He laughs a bit watching the smoke turn into rainclouds. A few droplets hit his face. The refreshing feeling made him feel alive, a thrill he desperately needed. Emelth knew he wouldn't die today but he sure felt close to it. Every second slowly grew longer: rain slowed down to a pleasant trickle, smoke seemed to stop flowing. "Ryu..." He said weakly. "be my shield." His eyes looked over at the young draconian. Ryu didn't look like much but he had heart and skill. Emelth would be honored to have such a gifted talent protecting him. "Become one of my knights."

Treats some of the wounded he can aid quickly with the things in his bag and goes to find them; The black leaves used for burns.... the Draconian had known something... However he wasn't one to jump to conclusions or accuse. Silencing his racing thought and maneuvering between treating the injured he manages to find their location and ducks his way out of sight. "I want to help but....", He wasn't sure his presence would be welcomed right now and the thought of lingering, only to be chased away or left behind made him contemplate turning back and aiding more of the wounded in town

 

[Kabochamp]

Kneeling next to Emleth in the pool of his blood, Ryuunosuke panicked slightly at the sight of him. He looked so frail at that moment and more human than most Draconians and he could vaguely remember hearing rumors of the price from his home town. He felt closer to the Draconian now and hearing his plea he didn't even hesitate to nod, bowing his head slightly. He wasn't sure what to do in this situation so he tried to put as much of his respect into his voice as he could: "I will" was all he could think to say. Once he'd said it he looked back up to see if there was anyone around who could treat him and spotted the elf from earlier. "Wait a moment" he said before running over to Aminend. "Hey.. You helped him before, right? He's really badly injured... Please help..." He said, still slightly excited from the battle and letting his voice wobble.

 

[LinkInMyHead]

Surprised to have been spotted so quickly and places a hand on the young Draconian's shoulder to calm him. "Gladly... Though I do not wish to intrude upon anything...." The older Draconian didn't look good at all, but if he fought with his wing as it had been... Aminend wondered if there was anything he could really do under the current circumstances and so far from his medical equipment, but to move him would also be dangerous...

 

[Hototo]

The light sprinkle turns into a full on downpour. Emelth's blood is washed away cleaning his wounds. A soldier awakens from his forced rest and looks over at the former prince. He tries to stand but screams out in pain and falls to the ground. Emelth looks over with a comforting look.


"Rest my brother. You've lost this battle."


The warrior shakes his head and screams. "I'll Kill you!" He yells at the top of his lungs.


Emelth watches the poor things struggle to get his weapon and crawl over. The pain in his heart is almost too much to bare. A tear ran down the side of his face. "When I finish my quest..." He whispers. "You can be the one to cut off my head." Though he wasn't in any shape to walk, Emelth stood up on his wobbly legs. He tossed the soldier the rest of the bread and started toward Ryu and the elf from before. Emelth looks deathly: his broken wing drags on the ground, he nearly topples over, a giant gash across his chest drips blood.

*Winhaven*





A courier, ran past guards, nobles, and commoners a like, he showed the letter he was given by a courier before him to the guard, reading it the guard let him through. The man bowed more out of fatigue then respect. "you may rise the King said the Queen by his side." The Courier did so and said, "I bring grave news from Paradise."


The man gave the letter to the Kingsguard, a minute later the king received it and another passed before he spoke, "Captain get a battalion of troops to Paradise to guard it from further attacks and have scouts watching the Valcana boarders at all times, increase recruiting of soldiers and field medics." The king looked at a scientist that happened to be in the room, "Tell the science guild to put more focus on military, and medical technology research." The king finally looked at the head diplomat "Get your best Diplomats together and I will have a escort waiting for you in two hours bound for the Draconian capital. You all may leave." The group bowed and went to do their assigned tasks. The Queen looked at her husband, "Rodger what is going on? What was the letter about?"


"Peace, I hope to preserve peace, if not then war is on the horizon."


(Now this is just the start of how your characters can affect the world, and apparently their pasts)

 

[LinkInMyHead]

(okay so I guess carry on from my character, sorry we were thrown off for a bit there ^^'' ) Aminand ran over to aid the Draconian, supporting his weight and intently studying his wounds, "You must come with me, both of you, I wish for no conflict but if you resist me now I can do nothing to save you"

 

[Kabochamp]

Ryuunosuke paused but nodded. "If you'll help..." he said, not sure if he could trust him but took Emelth's weight instead and prepared to follow him. "If you do anything weird you'll have to leave" He warned.
