Fantasy The Spirit Inside ~ Forest and Village

[Prrrgadilly]

((Ok just be clear, you have read the Rp up to this point right @Throne Trinity? or at least the entirety of Bel's fight with Fer^Thung? Schmendrick couldn't remove the "block" because Zephyr's powers are a plane higher than any mortal being could hope to achieve, let alone a human))


"I am perfectly aware of the loss of my people. I was there, in a fashion. I feel a great sadness for their loss, greater than you could ever understand, but they have not all died. Many of them are simply asleep. I would warn you that should you ever try to enter my mind without permission again, I will end you and curse your soul to the lowest plane of the Abyssal Dimensions."


It was quite obvious that Schmendrick did not know his own limits, or he was too foolish to back down when he met someone so clearly beyond him.


'And to think that I tried to play nice with this one.'


"Wizard what is your reason for being here?"


@KingsPlague


"Lila answer this fool so that he can be on his way."


@Kry


As he waited, Belisair refined the hand-scythe he had just crafted with more hair and a second stone. Binding then with a whispered Rune Phrase. If this continued for much longer, Belisair would lose his temper, then someone else would lose their head.

 

[Kry]

Lila was staring down at Kyngerz face when the odd man with staff came back over, she looked up at him, frowning just slightly. When he told her to speak her mind, she glanced at Belisair for a brief moment, almost as if looking for permission, but then she remember. Earlier, much earlier he had told her to make her own decisions. Lila inhaled deeply. "I...I don't know w-w-what happened.....A-all I know is....There was a dragon t-the size of a m-mountain..it was icy and it made a blizzard.." She paused for a moment, glancing around at the others before continuing. "L-lord Belisair w-was fighting it when I a-aproached...b-b-but Lord Belisair w-was not himself...a-a-and even now h-he's acting strange."


Lila hugged Kyngerz tighter, pressing the side of his face against her chest, an innocent thing, she was very unaware that it was probably very improper to press a man's face into her bosom like that. She had gone silent for a few moments, her heart heavy with the weight and sorrow of what she was going to say next. Lila inhaled deeply again. "F-Flint the crow is dead....h-h-he was so pretty and he could t-talk.....Lord Belisair w-was his friend too...but...but Lord Belisair insists that Flint is just resting... but....t-t-there's nothing left of him but feathers!" Lila was crying again. Tears flowed like a steady stream from those green eyes of hers and she had lowered her face, staring down at Kyngerz own face. The soft tears dripped gently onto the Palsiet's face, and Lila wished they would waken him. She didn't care how, she just wanted Kyngerz to get up, he could fix all of this, couldn't he?

 

[Throne Trinity]

((I've read page one and page fifteen onward @Delacare . Also I know Schmendrick can't remove the "block" but he doesn't know that. He was simply examining and experimenting with it to try and determine it's strength and purpose and if he could remove it. Obviously there is something wrong with Belisair's mind and Schmendrick being as nosy and curios as he is, is simply seeing if he can remove it.))


Schmendrick had taken out a note book from seemingly nowhere as Belisair began to speak. He jotted down a few notes about Belisair's condition before whipping it back into nothingness. The magician gives a chuckle at Belisair's finishing comment. "Haha. Man if I had a gold piece for every time that's happened to me... I'd have a gold piece!" He laughs a bit over his own a joke and then gets serious again. "Well it looks like whatever block that is in your head is to strong for me to break so you will be delusional until you find who ever did this to you. Anywho it was nice to met you Belisair, I'm sorry we couldn't have met on better terms. We should sit down for a drink sometime, get to know each other better." Schmendrick gives a sly wink and then nods to the Sylph in respect before turning to Lila. "Sorry I couldn't help your friend." The magician leans in close and using a handkerchief pulled from nothingness, he wipes away her tears whilst whispering in her ear. "I don't know what kind of relationship you two have but you shouldn't let him push you around the way he does. It's none of my business but it doesn't seem healthy. If you still want me to try and revive your bird friend I can make an attempt, but no promises it works." He jumps back to his feat and dusts his jacket off and readjusting his hat. With the a strum of his loot Schmendrick proclaims in a sing song voice; "It's been a pleasure, but I must continue my endeavor!" He clears his throat. "What I mean is I must get going. Unless of course you have need of my assistance for anything." He says this glancing to Lila briefly. @Kry

 

[KingsPlague]

The wizzard gave a warm smile to the Yuan-Ti as she cried "Worry not Snake girl, and you shall not worry either Pixie stix, I am here to help my old friend KP. After all, It was Pixie boy who caused such damage to him. Aaaand even though this elf has healing powers, Palsiet seem immune to anything not from their time. An old silliness of their gods" Constantine said, poking Kyngerz face making boop noises as he floated higher into the air until he stood upsidedown on a branch.

 

[Kry]

Lila had grown silent again, after saying her piece, and then Schmendrick was approaching her. She had flinched slightly but allowed him to wipe at her tears and whisper in her ear. She bit down on her bottom lip, inclined to remain silent until Schmendrick announced he was leaving. "P-please...stay a-abit longer.." This strange magic user didn't seem like a threat, and perhaps he could indeed help in some way, and maybe he could bring Flint back.The other, stranger, magic user also seemed harmless, the one currently now standing upside down on a tree branch. Lila looked up at Constantine, not sure what to say to him, but he seemed to know Kyngerz. Perhaps he could help too.

 

[Prrrgadilly]

((you would think those two existed simply to antagonize Bel. I'm torn between enjoying it and being annoyed by it as Belisair))


"The only one here that delusional is you, bard." His voice was positively dripping with disdain.


"I will be glad when you finally decide to leave me alone."


He turned his back on the entire scene as he walked away, kicking up the wind in hurt and discomfort.


"I've had enough of this foolishness. If you like that bard so much Lila, then stay with HIM. It is not as if I've done anything for you whatsoever."


All this idiotic carrying on about dragons and him not being himself was preposterous. His mood had been better than it had been in ages before they came along. They just wanted to see him unhappy again.


"Mortals are all the same: selfish and narrow minded. Flint and I take our leave of you all. Pester us no longer."


He placed his scythe into a pocket as he continued walking. He then stretched his wings as he leapt up a tree. He then proceeded to leap across the tree tops, heading in the direction of the Temple.


"Hopefully something good will eventually come of this debacle of an adventure."


@Throne Trinity @KingsPlague @Kry @JJKab @RP Marshall

 

[KingsPlague]

Constantine listened briefly to Bels complaints about the two, he puffed up his cheeks and marched around in a circle, mocking the sylph "'Pfff look at me I'm a pixie who knows more magic cause the wind is under my control yet it doesn't speak to me' Magic is a tricky thing young one, and no one really understands it. Look at meeeee, I blew myself up because of magic. aaaand now here I am standing infront of the unconscious being who introduced me to...hold on" he began counting down things on his fingers "His arch-enemies daughter to be my wife.....some kind of insanity in this world aint it Snakey? What's your name even?" he once again tapped the nose of the palsiet with a soft 'boop'

 

[Throne Trinity]

"I am many thing's Belisair, delusional is not one of them."


The bard sits next to Lila after she asks him to stay, nodding in response to her and is surprised at Belisair's outburst. Schmendrick chuckles to himself and Freud squawks in amusement. "For an immortal he sure does get annoyed easily. Am I right Freud!." He says as the Sylph flies off. The raven nods it's head.


As the Sylph begins to distance himself from the group Schmendrick begins to pluck away at his loot, not really sure what to do at the moment. He seems a little disappointed, probably because he wasn't able to remove the "block" in Belisair's mind, but he had a feeling he might get a chance to prove himself later.

 

[Kry]

Belisair was leaving her, telling her to stay with the bard. Did he really mean that? Was he really giving her away so easily? Had she really been so terrible as to be tossed aside like that, when all she wanted to do was help. She only wanted Belisair to go back to being the way he had been before. Lila was angry, she as angrier than she had ever been in her entire life, she had only tried to help, to do the right thing, because helping was always the right thing, and Belisair had yelled at her and thrown her away.


Lila was so angry, so frustrated, and felt so useless and stupid and worthless, she did the only thing she could do. Lila began to cry again. She cried harder than she had before. Flint was dead, and Belisair was just throwing her away. Kyngerz might be dead too, she wasn't even sure. Lena was still there though, but ultimately, Lila was surrounded by strangers and Belisair had just given her away to one. Her entire body shook with the force of her sobs, she tried to cry silently, she tried to hide her face against Kyngerz as the bard sat next to her and Constantine spoke at her and booped the Palsiet again. Lila was to busy sobbing to be able to answer anyone's questions at the moment.


The Yuan-ti did not know what to do.

Lena looked a bit sorrowfully at Lila, as she approached her. She hesitatently laid her hand on the girl's shoulder.


"Is there anything... I... Can do...?" She asked,

((I shouldnt be enjoying this, but I really am.))

 

[KingsPlague]

Constantine frowned, he didn't like seeing people cry. The wizard fumbled through his cloak pocket, pulling it inside out with small pieces of metal flying onto the forest floor and he wiped away her tears "Don't cry child, fairy Larry is just having a bad day, that's why he's such a grumpy lump. But you!" He exclaimed pointing the staff at Lena, it almost touching her "You can heal things, I can smell healing magic on you" he came really close to her and sniffed her hair "Tell the cute one to put him down and heal him a bit, don't worry he's a tough one, he won't die from a few scratches like those....or those....okay he won't die from a couple of gaping wounds" the wizard said, floating up of the ground again, now dangling upsidedown, letting out a small childish "Wheeeeeee"

@JJKab @Kry

Lena looked a bit suprised as the wizard almost touched her with his staff.


"Y-Ye..." She stopped, as he sniffed her hair. She blushed lightly, as she heard what he said.


"R-right.." She said, clearly getting a bit embarrased.

"Y-Ye..." She stopped, as he sniffed her hair. She blushed lightly, as she heard what he said.


"R-right.." She said, clearly getting a bit embarrased.

Constantine poked the palsiet with his staff again "Do the healy heals to the old man, judging by the way the magic on you smells you have much potential, but I won't teach you because I have better things to do." the strange wizard said opening a portal under his feet and disapearing through it.

 

[Throne Trinity]

Schmendrick looked on with detached amusement. He wasn't quiet sure what it was about Constantine that he loved so much, but by gods did he enjoy the strange mans presence. He watched as he pointed a staff towards Lena telling her to use healing magic on the strange man (whom he had not noticed until now) lying in Lila's arms. The magician grumbles to himself, muttering under his breath so it was barley audible to anyone else. "I can heal people too, but whatever it's no big deal..." Freud squawks something in his ear. "Yeah I know the last time I used healing magic Bart grew an extra arm, but three arms is better than none!"


"SQUAWK!"


"Hey! That is uncalled for mister! Besides what if he was born with three arms! You don't know!"


"Squawk! Squawk!"


"I swear to gods, say that again and I will take you back to the underworld you faultfinding feathered feeble freak!"


Freud lets out a sad chirp.


"Oh man. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to call you a freak, that was too far." Schmendrick reaches out a hand and pats the bird on the head. "There, There. no need to feel sad." Freud gladly accepts the affection before pecking the hand. "Oww! You prick! I see insults aren't detrimental to your spunk." The bird lets out and amused squawk.


Seeing that Lila has begun to cry again Schmendrick and Freud stop their antics. He watches Constantine wipe away her tears before disappearing into a portal. "Yeah Lila, like Constantine said. Pay no mind to that grumpy Sylph. Immortals tend to get a bit bothersome the older they get. Thats' why most of the old gods are bunch of ass hats! Anywho that's not whats important right now. What's important is that you've had a rough day, and that's putting you down in the dumps. So..." Schmendrick throws a hand into the air, as if grabbing something invisible, and then pulls a book out of nothingness. The title reads: Remedies for a Bad Day by Schmendrick Tanhouwser. He flips through the chapters quickly while mumbling to himself the chapter titles. "Bake a cake or pie, eat the cake or pie, go to the theater, obsess over things, sing a sad song... Aha! Here it is! Talk about yourself with complete strangers!" The magician slams the book shut and it explodes into a shower of sparkles. Schmendrick turns so he's facing Lila. "Go on, tell me about your self. It'll help take your mind off of the cruel harsh realities of life. I know it works for me!" He put's his head in his hands and stares intently at Lila, Freud also seems interested in what she might have to say. @Kry

 

[Kry]

(Tell me your life story, Lila, it'll totes make you feel better. -snickers evilly-)


Lila barely seemed to notice as Constantine wiped her tears away, then vanished in a portal. It didn't matter. He had also told Lila to put Kyngerz down so Lena could heal him, but the Yuan-ti had no intention of letting go of the Palsiet. She was even ignoring Schmendrick and his bird's squabble, she didn't even notice when it had ended. She did notice the slamming of the book and then the sparkles that appeared as the book vanished. Almost as if the book had exploded. She was frowning though, and when she looked at Schmendrick, his intent expression startled her a bit.


He was trying to take her mind off of things, she knew what he was doing. It was a valiant effort, but Lila knew talking about her life wasn't going to make anything better. Still, she belonged to the bard now, didn't she? Belisair had told her to stay with him, he had practically tossed her at Schmendrick's feet. He had left her at the mercy of a stranger. This defenseless girl that wasn't even self sufficient yet, had been left in the care of a stranger and one that Belisair already immensely disliked. Lila sniffled lightly and looked away from the bard, staring down at Kyngerz's face.


"M-my village w-was raided when I w-was just a s-small child..." Her voice was very soft, and almost lower than a whisper, only those very close to her would be able to hear her words. She kept her eyes on the Palsiet's face as she spoke. "...M-many of my p-people were s-sold as slaves....many o-others were k-killed." She reached up, touching the shawl Belisair had given her earlier, it was the same shade of purple as the scales on her hands, feet and tail. It also covered her slave mark on the back of her shoulder.


"I w-was bought i-immediately...and my m-master was....wasn't v-very kind.." Lila knew better, slaves weren't supposed to speak ill of their masters. Slaves also weren't supposed to run away either. "....I was w-with him for fourteen y-years.." She paused for a moment and inhaled deeply. "T-the other slaves w-wanted to k-kill him...I d-didn't help t-them....s-so they got angry w-with me...A f-few days ago, they d-did kill him...t-then tried t-to make me t-their slave...b-but wolves attacked us in the f-forest and I escaped them....I met Lord Belisair.." Her eyes finally turned to Schmendrick. "...He was so kind to me...He gave me this.." She touched the shawl again. "...But now he's strange, and I'm so scared." She had started to cry again.


@Throne Trinity

 

[Throne Trinity]

Schmendrick frowns. It seemed his bad day remedy hadn't worked at all. He watched the girl closely studying her, trying to figure her out. It seemed she was incredibly submissive. Not wanting her to feel any worse he decide to change the subject. "You call Belisair 'Lord Belisair', Why is that? Have you been enslaved by him?" @Kry

 

[Throne Trinity]

((^^ I know that's not really changing the subject but Schmendrick's mind is a weird place.))

 

[RP Marshall]

*SOB*


"..."


"Why?! WHY?!"


"...Flint- I'm sorry... truly I am."


"Go away! Leave me in the darkness."


"Please, don't cry Flint."


"I do not want you talking to me ever again!"


"...Don't say that."


"Haven't I suffered enough? Five cruel years of torture from that damn Wizard, the constant anxiety of loosing my friends, and a painful death inflicted by a psychotic wolf!"


"Flint you cannot give up!"


"Why the hell not? You do know I am dead?! Stupid idiot! All you've done is control me. Making me do whatever you want! Well, I did everything you asked and I died because of it! I'm better off here in the dark."


"Did it really matter how it all ended? What about all the good times you had? You were happy when you were with your friends. Remember what Belisair said..."

There is pain in this world and you will experience more than you think you could bear, but there is also so much pleasure, love and happiness.

"Belisair was wrong! The world is only full of agony. I was never truly happy in it. All the good times just made me worry about losing them. Pain, worry, fear, suffering, DEATH! That is all I can think of now, you bastard! I wanted to be with them- forever! But that didn't happen. I left them. They left me... Get Out! Get out of my damn head! I f---ing hate YOU!"





"...-..."





*Sob* "Damn it all! Where will I find peace? Belisair! Kyngerz! Your were suppose to save me! You didn't save ME!"

At Schmendrick's question, Lila stared at him, and blinked in innocent confusion. Any man not a slave was a lord, weren't they? "B-but he is a lord, isn't he? A-a-and you're Lord Shimmy-....Shem-....Shendig-....Smender-......Sundabar?..." Her brow furrowed in frustration as her tongue stumbled, tripped and just all around butchered Schmendrick's name. A slight blush of embarrassment colored her cheeks and she looked away rather quickly. "I-I-I'm sorry." The apology was sincere, but it was whispered very softly. She busied herself with gently brushing her fingers against Kyngerz cheek, as if such a simple action could wake him. Kyngerz was a lord to, wasn't he? A strong lordly knight. The kind of man that looked as if he were invulnerable, it hurt deeply to seem him so injured as this.

[Knightling]

Rex wandered through the forest aimlessly. Yet again he was stuck in the position of the clueless player in a game that he was unaware of. Though he had no clear distinct memories of anything, his mind was bombarded with endless waves of random images. "What does it all mean?" he muttered to himself, but still hadn't made much progress. Squinting as he found a clearing in the woods, he paused to take a good look around. Nearby, he saw smoke in the distance, and figured it would be better then nothing. Heading in that direction, he sighed and gathered himself together.

 

[Throne Trinity]

Schmendrick chuckled as Lila tried to pronounce his name. Seeing that she looked embarrassed at her inability he wraps an arm around here and pulls her in tight, a little bit odd coming from a stranger but slightly comforting and a tad calming. "The name's Schmendrick my dear girl! No need for apologies. If it's too hard to pronounce you may call me Spencer, that was my nick name back in the day. I must say I'm flattered that you think me a lord, all though I have been called a lord in the past I no longer consider myself one."


"As far as Belisair being a lord I have my doubts. If he is at all, that boy is the lord of Tantrums and amazing hair..." Schmendrick looks into the distance with a longing look plastered on his face. "As much as he aggravates me I have to admit he does have beautiful hair." Schmendrick shakes his head as if to clear away any lingering thoughts and the gives Lila a big smile. "I'm sorry if I ever get on your nerves little miss, I've been told I can be a handful and it's pretty apparent that having you talk about your past isn't helping this unpleasant day, but if I may, I would like one more attempt at cheering you up." He reaches into the air one more time and pulls his book of bad day remedies out from the nothingness. Schmendrick then proceeds to open it to the first chapter and reads through it quickly. Closing it once more he turns his attention back to Lila, his face completely deadpan. "Now this is a tough question but I need you to answer honestly for it to work. Do you like pies or cakes?" @Kry
