(shit, i completely forgot... i'll get nami here too... gimme a sec) Varexes-
Juniper pulled away and followed Faye, so I checked my bows tautness and followed behind. I couldn't help but wonder what exactly it was that she had found. Something to do with the old war? A... gravesite of some sort? Whatever it was, she was excited, and I couldn't help but be infected by the same feeling. With a grimace of sorts on my face, a smile contorted by the boiling within my chest, I stepped lightly behind, eyes and ears open for further threats.
(sorry, filming stress happened… Had to figure stuff out. First I had no actors, now I have too many after re writing the script. It's a big ole mess. um. so sorry. I'm taking this quick second to apologize for wanting to bring this backup and then probably not posting for a few days..)
After walking for about several minutes, fortunately without having encountered any sort of enemies along the short trip, Faye slowed her pace as they approached the entrance to the large clearing. She turned her head to look over her shoulder at the others, nodding that this was it. Facing back in the original direction, she began heading into the clearing.
"This is it," Faye announced in a tone mixed with seriousness and awe.
Her narrow eyes scanned the rows of tombstones, taking in all the historic sensation the visual brought to her. To be standing on such ground; she felt both honored and sick all at once. To think all these elves had died right here to stand up for their own race....when all that was needed was for them to unite. This war, it had happened so long ago, yet it was still not over.
I followed Faye in silence until we came upon a clearing. After stepping out into the light, I blinked to allow my vision to adjust slightly before looking around. All together it seemed like a normal clearing: green grass, open area, bushes and flowers filled the area. However, there was one thing that was out of place: the multitudes of rows of bronze plates that covered the ground. Curiously, I walked over to one and kneeled in front of it to read it.
Jess continued to follow Faye and the others, looking around every now and then to make sure nothing else tried to attack. She walked along the dusty dirt floor for a little longer before stopping with everyone else as a giant clearing appeared seemingly out of nowhere. She didn't see what was so abnormal or important about it, the grass as green and the flowers as clustered as any other clearing. Well, that was until she saw the makeshift tombstones surrounding the place.
Curious, and slightly puzzled, Jess walked over to one a few feet away and bent down in front of it, reading the messy scrawl that was engraved into the item. "Um Faye... what exactly is this area?"
((Comes back from the dead to apologize. eeeeeee! Months and months of absence! Inexcusable! I believe my final post was...hundreds of pages ago.
I am so very very very sorry! I just totally left the site for months. And not just RPNation! Deviantart, fanfiction.net, and...everything. I feel horrible that I didn't tell anyone beforehand! Since this was the only roleplay I actually remember being in and enjoying, I wanted to come here and tell everyone sorry.
And wow I've really been gone for a while. There's a whole new layout and everything.
But that doesn't matter! What matters is that I did wrong by everyone in this RP and I am sorry.
And I'm also sorry that I posted such an obnoxious apology.

I'm so very sorry! But hello to everyone once again!! I miss you all :'c
And Ekim!! Welcome back as well! Looks like we both vanished, hahaha ^^" I'm sorry, I'm replying now!))
Faye crossed her arms and let out a small breath, looking for the correct words to speak. Not enough words could describe the immense history of this ground they stood upon along with the tragedies it kept within its memory. The only thing that could prove all of that together were the seemingly never ending rows of bronze plates lining the ground before them.
"This is where it all went down," she announced, finally speaking up, "this is where the Blackwald War took place. This is where thousands of elves, Light and Dark, faced one another in a terribly bloody battle against one another. They were trying to protect their own race, to defend themselves, their families, and their pride."
Faye allowed her arms to fall swiftly from her stomach, swinging around her as her hands clasped together in the back. She walked alongside the bronze plates, gradually taking in each unique and memorable name engraved in them. After a few moments passed, she turned to face her fellow friends, a somber look in her grey eyes.
"Although, little did they know they were never enemies. There was never need for all this bloodshed."
With that, her eyes began to glow like two stars illuminating the night sky and her right hand rolled into a fist. She lifted it up by her chest and stared off past the others, her gaze in a world of dreams and ambitions.
"We are going to unite all elves, once and for all."
(Welcome back Nami!~ Huh, and I just realized that we're both a 'Legendary Resident' ... o_o)
Jess's eyes widened a significant amount on their own accord, her warm chocolate colored eyes sweeping from bronze plate to bronze plate. She had always had a strange interest in the Blackwald War and had always wondered if it was necessary. 'Seems as if it wasn't. Faye was right, so many lives could have been saved if they could have just opened up their eyes and actually see.' As she continued to take in the enormous grave site she still couldn't help but feel a little helpless and insignificant, standing in the middle of such an important piece of history.
Shaking her head to snap out of her dazed state, she focused her attention back to Faye and couldn't help but admire how strong and confident the words sounded as the slipped pass her lips and into the ears of Jess's fellow group, giving her a small sense of hope and a tiny boost of confidence. 'Small pep talks can do wonders to someone.'. So by the time Faye was done talking a smile had slithered up onto the shape-shifter's face and she couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "She's already a natural leader whether she knows it or not."
I heard Faye speaking as I leaned down to observe the various bronze plates within the grass, but I wasn't really paying attention until I shook myself out of my reverie and turned to face her just as she finished her speech. I smiled at her and coughed lightly, but nodded in approval.
"Of course we will. You'll lead us there, and we'll succeed."
As much as I may have only joined the group on complete accident, I felt extremely attached to our little fellowship, and I wanted to see our quest through. This wasn't something that I could just drop and go home without completing. It was something I had to do in order to feel as if I had fulfilled something in my life, for otherwise my life would have been pointless up until this point and would be after this.
No matter what, I would stand by Faye's side, firing arrow after arrow in order to accomplish her... no, OUR, quest.
"They all say that it's not possible, that there's no way the Dark Elves and Light Elves could ever be reunited..that there's no way it could ever be the way it was hundreds of years ago when everyone was able to get along, race not being an issue." Faye turned her back on the others, walking steadily along the grassy area alongside the bronze plates. Her gaze was focused on the ground before her, her mind focused on her one goal. "But you know what I say?" she asked over her shoulder, suddenly coming to a halt.
Giving the others a moment to wonder, she looked back in front of her. At that second she lunged forward, the soles of her leather boots slapping the top of an enormous rock as she spun herself to face the group once again. Faye then settled her hands upon her hips and raised her chin up high, the chilling autumn breeze blowing her blonde locks of hair behind her with the swirling leaves.
"I say, they're wrong! I say, they haven't met Faye! They haven't met Varexes! They haven't met Jess! They haven't met Juniper! They haven't met any of us! They don't know the determination we have, but we have so much of it, so much ambition that we will accomplish our goal! I don't give a damn what any of them say, we will bring all elves together as one! We will be the ones to unite the elves of this world! No one is going to get in our way!" Raising her fist in the air with force, her eyes sparkling with ambition, she yelled, "Put your fist and the air and say it with me, We will unite all elves once and for all!"
My gaze followed Faye as her passionate speech continued, and as she spoke I tried my hardest to contain a goofy grin that still spread across my face. When she finished her speech, I looked at the ground and chuckled softly, trying to avoid the urge to burst out into laughter. However, it was all in vain as my laughter steadily raised in volume until I was guffawing at Faye's speech.
As I wiped away tears, I looked at her and raised my fist, shouting out, "AYE!" as I continued to laugh.
"I mean no disrespect. That was a great speech, I swear. I loved it." I looked at her, hoping she wouldn't be too angry at me, but couldn't resist the smile that forced its way upon my face.
Jess looked up in surprise as Faye started speaking louder and stronger, her voice booming out over the entire clearing. 'Girl's got lungs, that's for sure.' Their leader's enthusiasm was so infectious that a big smile stretched across her face, her body practically bouncing on the spot.
Once she was sure that Faye was finished she raised her own fist up into the air and all but screamed out, "We will unite all elves once and for all!"
Not even a second after she said it laughter started pouring past her lips, the sound and feeling almost foreign to her. She just couldn't contain it, seeing Faye so passionate and confident in something that she truly wanted was just inspiring.
After her laughter had died to to softer chuckles she looked over at Faye, a smile still splitting across her face. "Yeah, you go girl!"
A cheery grin swept across Faye's face as she gradually lowered her fist and glanced back and fourth between Varexes and Jess. Seeing their amount of laughter, her cheeks reddened and she began to chuckle herself.
"Ah, as you might be able to tell, I tend to get a little carried away with my speeches sometimes," she said with a goofy smile, squinting as she scratched the back of her head with slight embarrassment.
Faye hopped off the rock, her knees bending a little as she landed on two feet. She stood up straight, making her way back over to the group. Once again, she placed her hands on her hips and grinned at the others, hoping that her speech had at least had some sort of affect on them. Maybe it had given them a bit of a confidence boost, if anything.
"Well, now that we've had our little pep talk, we may as well get a move on, huh?" she suggested, tilting her head to the side. Up close, she was able to really take in the clear expressions of glee drawn across their dirty, bruise covered faces. It gave her a sense of warmth on this cold Autumn day to know that even in the worst conditions, it was still possible to smile.
((Just out of curiosity, how did you guys kill off Ruineth? Or whatever you did? Also, I'm so humbled that you guys are so nice to me after being gone for so long! :'< *sniff* Thanks, you guys! I love you all so much!))
(( Hm...Idunno if we killed her off, I think we just assumed she died Maybe you could kinda come out of nowhere with some sort of story as to where you went? :3 And aww, no worries! I vanished as well! xD Hahaha, and you decided to come back which is really awesome! ^^))
