"They do seem rather... interesting." Henry responded warily. This group was far from weak, he see strength in all of them. Fighting even one may be painful.


He sighed, hearing the girl's comment, he could relax more. He had spent too much time with the Dark Legion. Some of them wanted to stab him in the back and then raise him as an undead servant. He had to thrash several around before they stopped attempting to do so. Trust his instincts. After all, he sensed no blood lust from her and constant tension in a confined space will be tedious. "You're right, girl. It seems we got off on the wrong foot. Forgive me for my earlier assumptions, I've been in a bad part of town for a while."


"Normal mages have problems with fast, close combat types." Henry absent-mindedly put in his own opinion hearing the girl and the light mage speak. "You do seem pretty handy with that light. Be pretty interesting to watch you two spar. That reminds me, neither of you had introduces yourselves. Names, if you don't mind?"

Ras turned her gaze jack as he mentioned her, then upon Henry, as he was new. She had a piercing and ice cold, deathly look in her eye. It felt like a bottomless abyss. "My name, is Ras. Ras Silas Gideon. It's nice to meet you Henry. And you are right, most Mage's do have a problem with close combat types. I on the other hand, don't. I'm a Battlemage, I use magic to boost my close combat abilities, I do have the ability to use magic from long rage, but I prefer getting up close and personal." Ras said simply, finding the man's words interesting.

Amellios let out a small growl and huffed "you know we should spar sometime I wouldn't mind getting my anger out on a annoying girl like you" he smirked and looked to Ras "so when can we start training" he asked
@RazingCatfish @Ras

"when we get to our destination, I will begin teaching you. It's safer than in this forest, the magic could attract, undead, or some beasts, possibly even a dragon subspecies like a wyvern." She stated factually. She was right of course, the forests were filled with dangerous beasts by day and undead by night. As such, it wasn't really the best place to be practicing magic.

"Are you blind? Haven't you noticed I have these with me too?" Naomi was taken aback by the fact that Amellios had dismissed that she also had her dual blades. She gestured at them, ensuring that she hadn't used any shrouding magic on them earlier in the process. She was careful not to let any excess energy be released from her hands in fear of suspicion. They created an X shape on her back. She didn't care to reply to Jack's comment. Name-calling didn't bother her as much as underestimating her abilities.

"I think that's enough. As much fun as a fight would be, I'm too tired to deal with one braking out right now, so just leave it, there's no need to start a fight right now anyway." Ras said, not really caring but didn't have the effort to deal with a fight breaking out, and she wasn't good at holding back, nor was she good understanding the difference between 'capture' and 'kill'. And it was best for her to not have to get involved.

Thagnarok, the Grandmaster


Death's Gate

Thagnarok grew a little impatient. He wondered where Leo is and where his daughter had went. He turned his head to Threlm, "Threlm. Scout the nearby hills for Leo. I wonder what is taking him so long. Take a few men if you must. Be hasty about it." He spoke solemnly.

Parant


Parant let out a yaa as he demanded the horses to keep the pace up, they been running the same speed for 5 miles now and were almost to their breaking point


"Almost back home with a villiage of 45 in my cart"


He laughed as he looked dead ahead at Death's Gate. He then stopped the horses that collapsed of exhaustion as they pulled up to the base of the stronghold. He hopped of the cart and frowned at the one dead horse and the other exhausted and the 3 other very exhausted survivors.


"You there go ahead and die now... A skeleton horse is a lot faster and feels no exhaustion or pain."


he laughed as he looked at the horses then back to the stronghold


"Thagnarok! I have some new recruits and a new steed and three more steeds almost their!"


He shouted this as he drained some of the dead horses blood and drew a pentagram around the dead bodies in the wagon and the one dead horse and started uttering words that a living creature couldn't pronounce...After three minutes of waiting the skin and blood melted off all of the dead creatures and the skeleton to the horse stood up and knocked on the ground with its hoof. Parant looked at the undead creature and smiled


"Haha Good girl"


Parant then watched in amusement as 45 skeletons tumbled out of the wagon and lined up in 5 rows of 9.


"MORE TROOPS OUT HERE!"

[Spottedmask]

Threelm looked over at Thagnarok as he told him his appearent mission. "Yes sir. It shall be done." Threlm walked out of the throne room and grabbed three guards and told them basically the same thing that Thagnarok told him. He told them to go and search three different areas where he most likely was. Threlm also went out to find him aswell.

"I'm Nat," Naomi replied. "I don't stay in one place for too long. It gets too boring." She went to pick up the knife Amellios knocked out her hand and and returned to the carriage. "This time it's because I'm bored." She started playing it again, this time only to keep herself occupied.


She realized that it had the emblem of her old mentor on it. It was one of the knives he had given her for her 14th birthday. She leaned forward in her seat holding her head up with her hand as she flipped the weapon over. "Little birds don't stay around for too long either, do they?" She thought aloud. He always told Naomi that if someone asked where she learned something to say it was just a "little bird." She always wondered why, thinking that he was hiding something. The man hadn't even given the knives to her directly. She had woken up that day with a box in her room and nothing else. He never returned, and her parents didn't know why either.

Castle looked at the growing bunch of people that decided to travel with them. Although traveling with a group seems to be the best way to get out of unknown territory faster and without dealing with any danger, it is in a way, just as dangerous as it is convenient. For one thing, none of those in their vicinity seem like weak foes, if anything, she's worried about the magic users countering her shadow manipulation. Secondly, everyone seems to have strong personalities, not like she had a problem with it or anything but it could cause a problem involving peace amongst everyone else. Lastly, she's surrounded by beings who obviously possesses at least one kind of special ability which caused her shadows to show hostility towards their presences. Even if her curiosity grew continually, it still wouldn't hurt to be careful. 'Too many mages in one place. One with qualifications to become a target for a client and the other two have powerful auras that I need to watch out for.' She acknowledged Henry's introduction with the slow nod following with the removal of her mask. She then turned towards Nat who had her knives in her hand in some sort of playful manner. Castle couldn't help but feel cautious when dealing with her.


"If we're all going to travel with one another, does that mean we have to formally introduce ourselves to one another?" she muttered to herself without realizing that everyone had heard her comment that followed with a sigh.


@Ras @FrostXShadow @Jack of Cloves @RazingCatfish @EuclidAmarok

 

[EuclidAmarok]

"Formal introductions? I'll start since I was the last to arrive I guess," Henry replied to the mumble of the dark elf,"My name is Henry Jackswell, swordmage and mercenary. I'll be traveling to Aikido since jobs are more plentiful in that area for mercenaries and sellswords like me."


Henry gazed around, waiting for the others. He already knew Jack's name, along with Ras and Nat, leaving the dark elf and light mage nameless. Ras Silas Gideon in particular put Henry on edge. She reminded him of too many close calls with death. He shrugged it off quickly and blamed it for being within proximity of other people with power.

[RazingCatfish]

"Before we get too bogged down into introductions again, why don't we start moving?" Naomi became impatient again. It wasn't like she was going to have to remember all these names after this anyway.

@FadeAway @RazingCatfish @Ras @Jack of Cloves @FrostXShadow

"I am Ras, or Death, also known as the Pale Horseman and Angel of Death, I am the oldest and most powerful member of the Four Horsemen and an ancient primordial entity of immense power. Having existed for an extremely long time, I am so old, I cannot remember my actual age, I even remember the first beasts in existence, they were called the leviathan, I personally found then entertaining. As one of the Horsemen, I am affiliated with my siblings War, Famine, and Pestilence. I'm one of the most powerful entities in existence. I have mastery of almost every magic in existence, including lost high level ancient spells that have been forgotten about in the modern day. I exist to keep the balance, and ensure all those whom have recently died get to their specific afterlife, I travel in search of two things, lost, ancient knowledge, and a worthy opponent."She said simply, seeming like she's had to explain this time and time again to people. She had a tired and almost uncaring expression, and an ancient look in her eye.

"Before we get too bogged down into introductions again, why don't we start moving?" Naomi became impatient again. It wasn't like she was going to have to remember all these names after this anyway.
@FadeAway @FrostXShadow @Jack of Cloves @Ras @EuclidAmarok

She tapped a finger on the seat she was on and released a spark of magic throughout the entire carriage. This caused it to begin moving as Naomi wanted. She then looked out at the sky as they moved just observing the clouds and watching them move across the sky.

'It's good that they were willing to comply to her request'. She thought with a smirk. She hadn't been listening earlier on when nothing had sparked her interest and during her foul mood. But then she eyed the members that had already answered her call then snarled in her mind with Nat's impatience, ironically, she wasn't far behind in terms of the patience department. "You don't have to answer again, I heard you the first time" Castle replied with a calm voice in the hopes that she won't start another argument with her. She then eyed Henry who had answered first and in respect for everyone's tolerance for the question, she decided to answer as well. "Unfortunately for you, I can only disclose my real name to clients and perhaps close acquaintances. I do believe that we will split right after we all arrive at our individual destinations so I really don't deem it necessary for you all to know it. If you do feel the need to address me, Castle will do. I do apologize for the strange behavior and hostility towards you all at first; as someone employed in the bounty hunting occupation, it does put me in danger if I am in the presence of other beings, other than myself of course. I hope you understand." She replied in both a tone of defeat and sincerity.

Leo





Leo wandered through the forest making his way back to the ruined castle. He took his sweet time disturbing the peace in a few small rivaling towns, he felt bad for leaving Nachi behind but felt even more sorry for him self if he failed to get the manuscript to the leader.


After a few more minutes of strolling through the forest he found a group of people arguing. Two people looked familiar in the group but the others looked quite annoying disputing over something seeming stupid, "Ew." I turn away and run over to the separate main road that lead to the Leader.

"Jake"





The winged man let out a frustrated sigh, "Fellow... Acquaintances" I said with a snarky expression, "We have been here for practically the whole day now, it is already morning. Can we please stop talking about moving along and traveling together before me and Castle take the cart and just leave you all behind?" I grouched already getting tired of the faces infront of him. "Jake" is usually very polite and patient (which says a lot about the situation) but this has been dragging out for too long and he really needed to be somewhere.

Amellios glared a the harpy slightly before releasing a breath he had held in. he sat back in the cart and looked up at the sky looking at the Clouds float across it "I wonder what it would be like to fly" he said to himself more than anyone else he sighed and began to recite some spells in his head out of boredom

 

[Moonlight.yuh]

Jack





The man had a puzzled look on his face from the sudden question, "W-Well..." He scratched his head then flew over to you hovering in the air, "I do not know where this sudden interest came from but." Jack puts out his hand and turns his head away, "I could show you if you'd like..."


)(@FrostXShadow ::::damn it you're making all of my characters sound gay now man; Just know if it was anyone else they would have dropped you mid flight

 

[Spottedmask]

Threlm walked the main road that lead to Leo. He had been wandering around looking for him a few minutes. He had killed a couple that was strolling through the woods. Blood dripping from his sheath. When he finally came across the elf he was looking for. "Hay dagger ears what took you so long?! Thagnarok is becoming impatient with your incompetence." Threlm sneared. He stopped and waited for Leo to get to him before he would walk with him back to the Gate.

[GreatGuyTomorrow]

Parant


Parant laughed and circled his troops and saw the the Elf and the skeleton walking along the path he started hovering towards them and pointed at the his small platoon of skeletons and one skeletal horse.


" Do you two not think that, that is the most beautiful sight ever? Haha, You're either dead or useless"


he laughed and patted the skeleton on the back. then frowned looking at the elf.


@Saruwatari Tomohisa


@Jack of Cloves

 

[Moonlight.yuh]

Leo





"Dagger ears? Oh that's hilarious!" I chuckle and walk up to you, "And here I thought you didn't have a HUMORIS/FUNNY BONE in your body." I smile proudly and nudge the air right next to you, "Get it? Because you're a Skeley" I teased.


@Saruwatari Tomohisa I hope I didn't get these jokes wrong of else that's going to be embarrassing

 

[Moonlight.yuh]

Leo





I made a smug smile to Parant, "Oh look who came acending from his grave. Had to rise the undead again so you won't feel lonely Parant? Or are you just that big BONED." I prodded as I kept on walking, proud of my self from all of the puns


@GreatGuyTomorrow ()Feel free to kill me now, I've lived a good life

 

[GreatGuyTomorrow]

Parant


Parant smirked


"ha well at least skeletons don't have squishy everywhere"


he laughed and looked down...


"dammit i forgot i am only a young lich... still have flesh for a while... Well Leo we are in the same boat then"

 

[Spottedmask]

Threlm looked at him blankly. "Yea I got the joke. It was almost as laughable as your ears." He chuckled and walked beside him. He looked him over wondering what took him so long.


(@Jack of Cloves yes you got it right lol. And btw I am a elf hater so get ready for the ear jokes xD )

 

[Moonlight.yuh]

Leo





I chuckled, "You and your slimy ass wish you could have all of this squish." I thow you a light grin and throw my hands behind my head and kept on walking my quiver tapping on my back with each step.


@GreatGuyTomorrow

 

[Moonlight.yuh]

Leo





"Keep it up with those ear jokes Threlm and one of them might just stab your (non existent?) eye out" I playfully threatened, making sure to tuck my strands of hair behind my ears to expose them in their full glory.


@Saruwatari Tomohisa

 

[GreatGuyTomorrow]

Parant


he shrugged


"At least i get to control you when you die leo..."


he grinned and looked at him


"An elf skeleton... haha you will still be a smart ass"





@Jack of Cloves

 

[Spottedmask]

(Sorry @GreatGuyTomorrow I didn't know yourpost was there)


Threlm chuckled. "I dont need no squishy I am better with out it. It would be harder to put back together. And please dont make this dagger eared bastard a skeleton it is bad enough walking next to him just thinking of him existing forever." He acted as though a shiver went down his spine. He chuckled half jokingly.
