"What's taking him...!" Titan wondered urgently. The anticipation was killing him.
"How should I know?" Gorgron replied. "Maybe they're planning something."
Draconis Nightcrawlis
02-09-2006, 01:01
"Preferably a place where one can draw power from. Evil people love those sort of places." Taylor said.
"Yeah, especially when theres an amulate just begging to be taken there as well," Kurt said. "We'll have to speak with Temari, since the Sunaarashi are under her control, she actually knows more about the planet then I do."

"Yeah, especially when theres an amulate just begging to be taken there as well," Kurt said. "We'll have to speak with Temari, since the Sunaarashi are under her control, she actually knows more about the planet then I do."
"Where is she right now?" Taylor asked.
"How should I know?" Gorgron replied. "Maybe they're planning something."
"You seem to know everything else," Titan teased.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
02-09-2006, 01:24
"Where is she right now?" Taylor asked.
"Still asleep I think," Kurt shrugged. "Wouldn't want to wake her."
"Nothing says we can't find a location ourselves," Quatre mentioned.

"You seem to know everything else," Titan teased.
"As the King would sau, bite my furry blue arse," Gorgron replied. "You'd beable to tell where he was if you could use the force better."
"Touché," Titan said with a wink to his friend.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
02-09-2006, 01:30
"I think they're planning something, we're doomed," Amaera then said. "Doomed, doomed, doomed."
"Alright... well that certainly brightens my day," Titan replied, annoyed at her cynicism.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
02-09-2006, 01:50
Amaera turned her eyes to Titan. "Doomed."
"I hope no one starts singing the doom song," another padawan remarked.
"He's coming," Gorgron mentioned.
Titan was about to respond that he didn't know what the 'Doom Song' was, but his attention was interrupted by what Gorgron pointed out.

"Still asleep I think," Kurt shrugged. "Wouldn't want to wake her."
"Nothing says we can't find a location ourselves," Quatre mentioned.
"I guess." Taylor said. "Would like it better if we have a lot of options though. What locations do we know that would be good?"
Draconis Nightcrawlis
02-09-2006, 02:17
"Well here for one wouldn't be a good spot as it's our base," Kurt mentioned. "Outside of the cities there are groves where the druids gather."

Titan was about to respond that he didn't know what the 'Doom Song' was, but his attention was interrupted by what Gorgron pointed out.
Much to the relief of the padawans, Master Raven finally appeared. "I want you all to head straight to the hanger," he told them.
Without fuss, the padawans did as told.

"Well here for one wouldn't be a good spot as it's our base," Kurt mentioned. "Outside of the cities there are groves where the druids gather."
"Are the spots any good or what, and what's a druid?" Taylor asked. He's heard of droids, but not druids.
Much to the relief of the padawans, Master Raven finally appeared. "I want you all to head straight to the hanger," he told them.
Without fuss, the padawans did as told.
Titan glanced at Gogron with a look of 'What the hell is he planning?' before moving towards the hangars with the others.

"They are what you would call priests, doing the work of the gods they worship," Kurt explained. "They deal in magick and their groves are rife with magickal energies."

"They are what you would call priests, doing the work of the gods they worship," Kurt explained. "They deal in magick and their groves are rife with magickal energies."
"In that case, let's try to pick the most potent grove and lure her there." Taylor suggested.

02-09-2006, 02:34
Titan glanced at Gogron with a look of 'What the hell is he planning?' before moving towards the hangars with the others.
Gorgron just shruigged as they headed down to the hanger. Master Raven ordered them aboard the academy shuttle and they did as told. Gorgron wasn't the only padawan who was worried as they climbed about. It couldn't have been an evacuation they weren't taking their stuff with them, only their lightsabers.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
02-09-2006, 02:36
"In that case, let's try to pick the most potent grove and lure her there." Taylor suggested.
"That will be the thing to do, hope the druids don't mind," Kurt said with a grin. "Jr and the others will be arriving soon."

"That will be the thing to do, hope the druids don't mind," Kurt said with a grin. "Jr and the others will be arriving soon."
"That's good." Taylor nodded. "So which place is best?"
Draconis Nightcrawlis
02-09-2006, 02:47
Kurt looked blankly at Taylor for a moment. "I don't know," he said in his best Gir imitation.
"We'll find out, could do with a visit from one of the gods right about now," Quatre said.

"Would be convenient." Taylor nodded.

A rather loud belch filled the air. Quatre's face vaulted and he hit his forehead with a hand.
"Oh no not him," he groaned.

Taylor sweatdropped. "Convenient enough..."

02-09-2006, 02:59
A much younger man appeared, it was not Thor like Quatre had worried. He did look a little like Thor but his beard was no more than stubble.
"Father sends his apologies," the man said. "He would have come himself if he was not currently passed out drunk."

"That's Thor for you." Taylor shook his head.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
02-09-2006, 03:07
The man smirked. "I am Modi by the way, son of Thor," he said. "I think my brother Magni might be around somewhere too."
"Well you are just who we need," Quatre said.
"The druid groves yes?" Modi said.

"The most powerful ones, that is." Taylor nodded.

"A Masaki interesting," Modi said. "Yes I can help you find a powerful druid grove."

"That's cool. Where is it?" The Fire Knight asked.

02-09-2006, 03:22
"Patience, I cannot find it just by clicking my fingers," Modi said. "I do not recall when I have been here before so this place is rather new to me."
Gorgron just shruigged as they headed down to the hanger. Master Raven ordered them aboard the academy shuttle and they did as told. Gorgron wasn't the only padawan who was worried as they climbed about. It couldn't have been an evacuation they weren't taking their stuff with them, only their lightsabers.
"Great..." Titan said to Gorgron over his shoulder as he took his seat. "Just great..."
Draconis Nightcrawlis
02-09-2006, 03:30
"Great..." Titan said to Gorgron over his shoulder as he took his seat. "Just great..."
"I don't like this," Gorgron said noticing Zadeth and Daniel at the shuttles controls.
Master Raven was last aboard, the shuttle door shutting behind him.
"Now as Jedi you will find yourselves in situations where your survival skills are pushed to the max," he said. "This is why Master Blexe and myself have decided to take you on a survival training trip."
CoreWorlds
02-09-2006, 03:32
"Patience, I cannot find it just by clicking my fingers," Modi said. "I do not recall when I have been here before so this place is rather new to me."
"Alright." Taylor nodded. He'll be patient.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
02-09-2006, 03:40
"Now we'll need transport, something to get around in something that won't stand out," Modi then said.
"We have locally made cars," Kurt mentioned.
"That should do fine," the son of Thor then said. "We will need a disguise for Masaki here, I heard about the blowing up the lab."
"Oh goody," Titan whispered, clearly not thrilled at the idea nor the fact that Daniel was on born and at the control no less.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
02-09-2006, 03:45
"I told you, doomed, doomed, doomed," Amaera repeated.
Master Raven went to sit down as the shuttle shuddered, it's engines starting up. It wasn't long before they lifted off.
"I hate this part," Gorgron gulped.
Were they going to hyperspeed? Titan wondered as Gogron indicated he hated 'this part.' If they were going to hyperspeed, then there was nobody aboard that could hate it as much as Titan did... flying was his bane.
Then another question hit him: Why would they be going to hyperspeed? Certainly they couldn't be going to another planet for this adventure...
Draconis Nightcrawlis
02-09-2006, 03:50
Amaera smirked at Titan. "Scared?" she asked.
"No... just anxious," Titan replied with a smirk of his own.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
02-09-2006, 15:03
"Doomed," Amaera said again.
The shuttle broke through the atmosphere and headed into space. Within a few moments the shuttle had entered hyperspace.
"I wonder where we're going," Gorgron wondered.
Titan began ignoring the annoying Amaera and instead focused on the horrendous jolt that had just taken place... they entered hyperspace.
"I don't know... but I wonder why we have to leave the planet for this."
Draconis Nightcrawlis
02-09-2006, 18:51
"Survival training on an uninhabited planet I guess," Gorgron expected. "Too many cities on Wundagore DN."
"Still... isn't it large enough for there to be areas where there is no civilizaton... or at least another planet in this system," Titan mused - he really hated flying, especially hyperspace.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
02-09-2006, 19:11
"Yeaa but it depends on what the crazy master has planned for us," Gorgron pointed out.
"Let's hope nothing too crazy," Titan said somewhat nervously.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
02-09-2006, 19:35
Gorgron looked over at Master Raven. "Well he doesn't look any crazier than usual," he figured.
"But we do agree that he's crazy..." Titan reminded him. What the Master could be up to was anyone's guess.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
02-09-2006, 19:39
Master Ravens eyes turned to them.
"I think he's listening," Gorgron whispered.
"I'm sure he is..." Titan said, remembering what a man once said about the mysterious force and its powers. "But what are we going to do..."
Draconis Nightcrawlis
02-09-2006, 19:45
Gorgron sat back and placed his hands behind his head. "The only thing we can do, sit back and await death," he replied.
"How very optimistic of you..." Titan replied as he sat back and did the same.

02-09-2006, 22:18
"Now we'll need transport, something to get around in something that won't stand out," Modi then said.
"We have locally made cars," Kurt mentioned.
"That should do fine," the son of Thor then said. "We will need a disguise for Masaki here, I heard about the blowing up the lab."
"Yeah. Loved it." Taylor smirked. "What's the disguise?"
Draconis Nightcrawlis
02-09-2006, 23:35
"How very optimistic of you..." Titan replied as he sat back and did the same.
"I do hope it's a close planet," Gorgron then said. "I don't want to spend too long couped up with them."
He was refering to Master Raven and Daniel. Daniel appeared to be laughing at something.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
02-09-2006, 23:38
"Yeah. Loved it." Taylor smirked. "What's the disguise?"
"Hmm, yet it puts your life in danger," Modi said. He raised his hand and muttered something in a language none of them could understand.
"Oh wow, you have the dark skin and red eyes of a dark elf," Kurt said in amazement.
"I do hope it's a close planet," Gorgron then said. "I don't want to spend too long couped up with them."
He was refering to Master Raven and Daniel. Daniel appeared to be laughing at something.
"Same here," Titan said in agreement, though he could think of another person that he could do without.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
02-09-2006, 23:54
Gorgron closed his eyes as it appeared he planned on sleeping through the journey.
"Well thats him out," Amaera remarked.
Kanae was nervously looking at Gorgron.
"Uh... riiiggghht," Titan said as he too closed his eyes and leaned his head towards the seats across the aisle from Gorgron and he.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
03-09-2006, 00:11
Most of the padawans slept through the jouney and those who were still asleep, including Gorgron, when the shuttle reached its destination were only alerted to it when the shuttle hit the ground with a thump.
"Fuck we're under attack," Gorgron yelped as he was awoken from his sleep.
"Or we just landed..." Titan said. Despite attempting to sleep near the beginning of the journey, the young padawan was unable to do so due to his discomfort in flying and thus was awake the entire time... beginning to end.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
03-09-2006, 00:32
Gorgron yawn as Master Raven stood up. The shuttle doors opened and light filled into the shuttle.
"I'm sure you all remember your partners from your prior lessons," Master Raven said. "I went you to find your partners as you get out."
Amaera groaned.
"You will be then teamed up with a more experianced padawan."
There were groans from the padawans as they filled out after Master Raven.
Titan was happy that he would again be with Gogron, but quite nervous about being teamed up with Daniel.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
03-09-2006, 01:00
"If we're dumped with Daniel I will just curl up and die," Gorgron remarked.
He noticed a large mansion near to where they had landed.
"Welcome to the planet of The Norns," Master Raven grinned.
Alot of panicked murmours spread through the crowd of padawans.
"You have got to be kidding me," Gorgron said, his face had paled.
"What?" Titan asked as he noticed the others seem to be cowering in fear.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
03-09-2006, 02:04
"Norns, goddesses of fate," Gorgron said. "When the King came here they tried to send him and his friends mad."
"So... WHY THE HELL ARE WE HERE!!?!" Titan demanded to know.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
03-09-2006, 02:11
"Survival training young padawan," Master Raven said.
He and the other padawans were now looking at Titan.
"You will have to do something about your anger there, a path to the darkside it is."
"Maybe I just don't see the sense and taking inexperienced and untrained younglings to a dangerous planet where we could get fucking killed," Titan replied.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
03-09-2006, 02:22
"Use your sense young padawan, The Norns will not let any of you get killed," Master Raven replied. "You may be driven mad but die you shall not."
"Great... so we can go crazy," Titan replied. "Then again, I guess you are protected..." he added, taking a shot at Raven.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
03-09-2006, 11:03
Master Raven smirked. "It'll do you good, use the force to see through the illusions," he said.
Titan sighed and turned to Gogron, ready to get this going.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
03-09-2006, 16:29
The pairs were now being teamed up with one of the older padawans. One of which placed his hands on Titan and Gorgrons shoulders.
"Ready to go?" he asked.
"Yeah..." Titan responded as he turned to look who it was, hoping it wasn't Daniel.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
03-09-2006, 16:54
"Hey Wolfram," Gorgron said, recognising his voice.
"Hey cus, didn't think I'd let anyone else get you huh?" he replied.
Titan breathed a heavy sigh of relief when he turned and didn't see Daniel standing behind them... and it was even better that it was Gogron's cousin.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
03-09-2006, 17:12
Wolfram held a backpack over one shoulder. "Theres a lake over this way, we'll start there," he suggested.
"So how long are we staying for?" Titan wondered. Surviving was one thing, but for how long was quite another.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
04-09-2006, 00:09
"A week I think," Wolfram shrugged. "Or whenever the last team get to the location Master Raven will have the shuttle at."
As they walked down to the lake the shuttle took off. The other three padawan teams began to dispurse.
"Where is he going to be?" Titan wondered. They would probably have to use the force to sense Master Raven, meaning that would be up to Gorgron and his cousin.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
04-09-2006, 00:28
Wolfram pulled a map out of the backpack and looked around it. "Somewhere in the ruined city on this island here," said, though there was no sign of a city anywhere on the map. "Might take a few days to get there."
"Alright, so should we start?" Titan wondered. The sooner they got off this planet, the better.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
04-09-2006, 16:38
Wolfram looked over at him. "We already have," he said.
"Oh yay," Gorgron remarked. "I hope you brought food."
"Just enough."
"Just enough? What if we stuck here for longer than you prepared for!?" Titan said.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
04-09-2006, 16:44
"We won't be," Wolfram replied. "And besides this is survival training, survival means living off the land."
"Well if you are prepared, you won't have to do that," Titan reminded him. Preparation was key.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
04-09-2006, 21:10
Wolfram laughed. "Well actually we're meant to show you how to survive off the land as well," he then mentioned.
"But it would be better if we didn't have to," Titan said again. Why make it harder on yourself when it could be so much easier.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
04-09-2006, 21:37
"True but one can never say they won't find them in such a situation," Wolfram explained. "The fact is you may find yourself stranded on a planet waiting for help to arrive."
"Well in that case, I obviously wasn't prepared... which I should have been," Titan replied.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
04-09-2006, 21:49
"We nearly didn't even have our lightsabers," Gorgron muttered.
Wolfram patted his cousin on the back. "Just what I'd expect from you," he grinned.
"Well, we do have them... so everything's fine," Titan reminded him.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
04-09-2006, 22:04
"Fortunately," Wolfram grinned. "Otherwise you'd be fucked."
The lake that Wolfram had mentioned came into view.
"Well there is no use worrying about what didn't happen," Titan said as they arrived near the lake.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
04-09-2006, 22:30
"No but what we do have to worry about is planning our route," Wolfram then said, sitting down on the banks of the lake.
"Well where is the destination?" Titan asked as he sat down and looked at the map.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
04-09-2006, 22:46
"Down there," Wolfram said, pointing to the location of the island on the map. "Problem is that we'll have to avoid this forest here."
"Why?" Titan said, wondering curiously what the forest could hold.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
04-09-2006, 22:59
"By order of the gods it's out of bounds unless you're with a god," Wolfram explained.
"Oh..." Titan didn't know much about 'the Gods' or what they were, but he decided to press the issue right now.
"So how are we going to go?" he asked.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
04-09-2006, 23:27
Wolfram ran his finger along the map along the outside of the forest.
"That is the quickest way around, but nearby is the city of the dead," he said.
"Great..." Titan said sarcastically as he saw Wolfram trace their path. "The dead..."
Draconis Nightcrawlis
05-09-2006, 03:11
"If we're lucky it's just a name," Wolfram smirked.
"And if not?" Gorgron questioned his cousin.
His cousin just laughed. "If not we use our lightsabers," he said. "Wouldn't be anything more than zombies or skeletons."
At the thought of being able to use his lightsaber, Titan perked. "Fine by me. Past the undead it is!"
Draconis Nightcrawlis
05-09-2006, 03:33
"He'd like that," Gorgron told his cousin. "Crap with the force but good with a lightsaber, I only just beat him."
Wolfram raised an eyebrow. "Someone actually put up a fight against you?" he said sounding rather shocked. "You need to improve."
"We all need to improve..." Titan said philosophically.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
05-09-2006, 03:39
Wolfram nodded. "We Pendragons pride ourselves on lightsaber skills," he mentioned.
"Always room for improvement, no?" Titan spoke with wisdom that he would not truly possess for years.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
05-09-2006, 03:44
"Of course, especially when someone almost beats you," Wolfram said. "To be the best you must always continue to improve."
Gorgron just sighed.
"Aye." Although Titan would probably sigh if this was about the Force and not lightsaber combat.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
05-09-2006, 14:20
"And you will need to use the force in order to sense everything around you," Wolfram grinned.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
05-09-2006, 14:50
"Yeah. Loved it." Taylor smirked. "What's the disguise?"
"Hmm, yet it puts your life in danger," Modi said. He raised his hand and muttered something in a language none of them could understand.
"Oh wow, you have the dark skin and red eyes of a dark elf," Kurt said in amazement.
ahem
"And you will need to use the force in order to sense everything around you," Wolfram grinned.
"Well then that's up to you two..." Titan replied. There was no use even trying now.

"Hmm, yet it puts your life in danger," Modi said. He raised his hand and muttered something in a language none of them could understand.

"Is that good or bad?" Taylor asked as he checked himself in a mirror. Not too shabby.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
05-09-2006, 18:39
"Well then that's up to you two..." Titan replied. There was no use even trying now.
"Oh come on, you can pick it up as we go along," Wolfram assured him.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
05-09-2006, 18:41
"Is that good or bad?" Taylor asked as he checked himself in a mirror. Not too shabby.
"It's good, no one will take a second look at you as this is the dark elf homeworld after all," Kurt grinned.
"Oh come on, you can pick it up as we go along," Wolfram assured him.
"We'll see..."
People always made it sound easier than it was. That was the problem when somebody already knew how to do something and expected the same of others...

"Hey with me here I'm not going to let you be crap," Wolfram grinned and stood up. He folded the map up and placed it back into his backpack. "Come on let's go."
Draconis Nightcrawlis
05-09-2006, 19:11
"That's good, then." Taylor smirked.
Kurt nodded. "I feel Jr and a few others have just arrived," he then said and headed out to the throne room.
CoreWorlds
05-09-2006, 19:45
Kurt nodded. "I feel Jr and a few others have just arrived," he then said and headed out to the throne room.
"Alright." Taylor nodded. "Once we get everyone here, we'll fill them in on the plan. Still have the drawings. Oh, wait..."
He added a few more chibis of Jr and the others helping to fight the Dark Lady.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
05-09-2006, 19:57
Kurt chuckled as he walked out into the throne room. Temari was sat upon the throne smirking.
"So you really didn't go dark on us," Jr said. "You could have at least warned us."
Kurt looked over at Quatre who just nodded at him.

Kurt chuckled as he walked out into the throne room. Temari was sat upon the throne smirking.
"So you really didn't go dark on us," Jr said. "You could have at least warned us."
Kurt looked over at Quatre who just nodded at him.
"Well, now that we're here, here's the plan so far." Taylor said as he rattled off the plan, including the others in the equation.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
05-09-2006, 20:26
"That should work," Jr agreed.
"Yeah, now Modi just needs to help us find a strong in magick druids grove and we'll be all set," Kurt then said.
Modi was leaning silently against the wall raring to go.
"Hey with me here I'm not going to let you be crap," Wolfram grinned and stood up. He folded the map up and placed it back into his backpack. "Come on let's go."
Titan ignored his comment as they began walking...
Draconis Nightcrawlis
05-09-2006, 22:05
Lightning flashed overhead as they walked around the massive lake. The centre of which contained an island.
"Nice touch," Wolfram remarked.
It wasn't yet raining but looking toward the sky suggested it might do so.
"We'll go as far as we can then set up shelter."
"More rain?" Titan smiled.
"Well... let's try to win this."
Draconis Nightcrawlis
06-09-2006, 14:37
"Theres no winning only surviving," Wolfram replied.
He picked up speed in his pacing as they headed around the lake. So far the rain was holding off. Out in the distant hill a tower was visible.
"See that tower? We're aiming for it."
"Alright... but then let's be the first to arrive," Titan said as he looked at the Tower.
Draconis Nightcrawlis

Wolfram shook his head. "Whoever got Gilraen will get there first, it's pretty much garrunteed," he replied.
A few drops of rain began to fall.

"That should work," Jr agreed.
"Yeah, now Modi just needs to help us find a strong in magick druids grove and we'll be all set," Kurt then said.
Modi was leaning silently against the wall raring to go.
"Alright." Taylor nodded.
Draconis Nightcrawlis

"Right, Kurt Taylor come with me," Modi then said and headed to the door. "The rest of you stay here, too many will draw attention."

"Right, Kurt Taylor come with me," Modi then said and headed to the door. "The rest of you stay here, too many will draw attention."
Taylor followed Modi through the door.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
06-09-2006, 20:09
Outside a car was already waiting for them. It appeared that there was someone already sat behind the wheel.
"Just get in the back," Modi told them.
Kurt looked at Taylor and got in. He then saw that it was Firiat, Zathars youngest brother behind the wheel.
CoreWorlds
06-09-2006, 20:27
"What's a kid doing--never mind, that's the pot calling the kettle black." Taylor shook his head as he got in.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
06-09-2006, 20:38
"I'm sixteen, old enough to drive," Firiat protested.
Kurt just smirked to himself as Firiat drove away. "Do you sense anthing?"
"Not yet," Modi replied.
"Well you sure are confident in yourself," Titan replied sarcastically.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
06-09-2006, 23:25
"You've never met Gilraen," Wolfram replied.
"So... you should still be confident in yourself. If you believe he is better than you, then he will be..."
Draconis Nightcrawlis
06-09-2006, 23:35
"This coming from someone who sells himself short at using the force," Gorgron remarked, rolling his eyes.
Wolfram just laughed. "Her team will be halfway there by now," he said.
"Aye, but I've just begun training for the first time in the past week..." Titan replied to Gorgron's comment. "And Wolfram has been for years now..."
Draconis Nightcrawlis
06-09-2006, 23:52
"Two actually," Wolfram said. "First at a different academy until this one was built. Gilraen's trained for fuck knows how many years."

"I'm sixteen, old enough to drive," Firiat protested.
Kurt just smirked to himself as Firiat drove away. "Do you sense anthing?"
"Not yet," Modi replied.
Taylor glanced out at the scenery as he waited for the son of Thor to find the spot.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
07-09-2006, 00:01
They drove out of the city and visibally passed a gathering of druids. It was another few minutes before Kurt said, "Here will do Firiat."
Firiat nodded and pulled over. The two of them got out followed by Modi.
"Did you see something?" he asked, looking rather confused.
"No but we do know you're not Modi," Kurt said.
CoreWorlds
07-09-2006, 00:09
Taylor noted Kurt's tone of voice and looked at the King. "What?"
Draconis Nightcrawlis
07-09-2006, 00:14
"He's not Modi," Kurt repeated.
Modi just looked expressionless as Firiat retrieved a zat'ni'katel from the car.
"Don't you remember how he was back at the castle, ademant that only you and I come."
CoreWorlds
07-09-2006, 00:18
"He's not Modi," Kurt repeated.
Modi just looked expressionless as Firiat retrieved a zat'ni'katel from the car.
"Don't you remember how he was back at the castle, ademant that only you and I come."
"Now that I think about it, he did, likely to separate us." Taylor said, discreetly checking that his ignition gloves are on. He glared at "Modi". "Who are you, really?"
Draconis Nightcrawlis
07-09-2006, 00:23
"Hmph," 'Modi' smirked.
"Working for Lady Nocturne no doubt," Kurt then said. "Capture us and send us to her, I know why she'd want me but Taylor? No doubt she'd hae passed him onto Lady Nightshade."
'Modi' just stayed silent.
"What do you think we should do with him?"
CoreWorlds
07-09-2006, 00:27
"Hmph," 'Modi' smirked.
"Working for Lady Nocturne no doubt," Kurt then said. "Capture us and send us to her, I know why she'd want me but Taylor? No doubt she'd hae passed him onto Lady Nightshade."
'Modi' just stayed silent.
"What do you think we should do with him?"
"Beat out all the information he has." Taylor smirked. "Or we could simply lock him up and then beat out the info."
Draconis Nightcrawlis
07-09-2006, 00:32
Kurt nodded. "Do it."
Firiat fired the zat'ni'katel and 'Modi' went down. The young teen then took out some glowing chains and chained the imposter up.
"Conclusive evidences he's not Modi," the King said and helped Firiat carry him into the boot of the car. It was just big enough for the impostor.
"Now we have to hope our plan isn't jepordised."
"Two actually," Wolfram said. "First at a different academy until this one was built. Gilraen's trained for fuck knows how many years."
"Ah, but you have the basis instilled to make yourself better... I do not yet," Titan said, again answering what Gorgron had brought up moments earlier.

Kurt nodded. "Do it."
Firiat fired the zat'ni'katel and 'Modi' went down. The young teen then took out some glowing chains and chained the imposter up.
"Conclusive evidences he's not Modi," the King said and helped Firiat carry him into the boot of the car. It was just big enough for the impostor.
"Now we have to hope our plan isn't jepordised."
"Yeah." Taylor sighed. "Call Temari and ask her if she knows about a high-magic environment. Should have waited for her first."
Draconis Nightcrawlis
07-09-2006, 14:21
"Ah, but you have the basis instilled to make yourself better... I do not yet," Titan said, again answering what Gorgron had brought up moments earlier.
"Of course you do," Wolfram said. "You just don't realise it yet."
Wolfram kept an eye on the clouds above, while there were only a few drops falling it could of course pour down at any moment.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
07-09-2006, 14:25
"Yeah." Taylor sighed. "Call Temari and ask her if she knows about a high-magic environment. Should have waited for her first."
"Yeah probably," Kurt agreed. "Hopefully she'll be awake by the time we get back. Get back in we'll head back."
Firiat got back in the drivers seat as Kurt climbed in the back.
"Don't worry about the impostor, he's quite secure in the boot."
CoreWorlds
07-09-2006, 14:48

"Alright." Taylor nodded and got in the car.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
07-09-2006, 15:06
Once back at the castle, the first thing to hit Kurt was a certain fan hitting his head.
"Oww," Kurt moaned, rubbing the spot the fan had hit.
"Baka!" Temari said. "You go off without asking myself or the Sunaarashi about the locations of druid groves, you could have been dead by now and you upset Quatre."
CoreWorlds
07-09-2006, 15:22
Taylor hid a smile as Temari gave Kurt the riot act.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
07-09-2006, 15:32
Firiat got help from a few others to drag the impostor down to the dungeons as Kurt teleported away from Temari to find Quatre. Her eyes turned to Taylor.
"So what did happen?"
CoreWorlds
07-09-2006, 15:40
"Nothing much. Just that 'Mori' turned out to be fake and Firiat zapped him." Taylor shrugged. "I wonder whether that guy managed to take the plan to Nocturne or one of the other ladies."
Draconis Nightcrawlis
07-09-2006, 15:46
Temari folded her arms. "To get that amulat it might be a chance we'll have to take," she said. "But only if Lady Nocturne does rise to the bait."
CoreWorlds
07-09-2006, 15:54
"I hope she does." Taylor said. "Have you found any suitable place yet?'
Draconis Nightcrawlis
07-09-2006, 15:58
"I have an idea," Temari said and stared intently at Taylor. "It's not a druid grove, it's a burial mound."
"Of course you do," Wolfram said. "You just don't realise it yet."
"You need the basics first... something I do not yet have."
Draconis Nightcrawlis
07-09-2006, 19:04
Wolfram leaned over to his cousin. "Not very bright is he?" he remarked.
"Like you said he just doesn't know it yet," Gorgron shrugged.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
08-09-2006, 01:33
As they began to walk away from the lake, the rain finally came and it came hard.
"Shit!" Wolfram swore.
He took a folded up tent from his backpack and set it down and it put itself up.
"Bought it from a wizard, it's a bit big inside, now get in out of the wet."
CoreWorlds
08-09-2006, 01:52
"I have an idea," Temari said and stared intently at Taylor. "It's not a druid grove, it's a burial mound."
"Interesting. Could work. Ghosts more often than not have a dark side residue in them, although that's not always the case." Taylor said.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
08-09-2006, 01:55
"The last King of Svartalfheim," Temari then said. "If his ghost is there, he'd be a pretty nasty little bugger. He was murdered by his own wife whom turned out to be the rebel leader."
As they began to walk away from the lake, the rain finally came and it came hard.
"Shit!" Wolfram swore.
He took a folded up tent from his backpack and set it down and it put itself up.
"Bought it from a wizard, it's a bit big inside, now get in out of the wet."
Titan stood for a moment, feeling the raindrops bounce off his head, before he entered the tent that Wolfram had provided.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
08-09-2006, 03:13
There was indead a Tardis effect inside the tent as it was several times larger inside then outside.
"Don't worry its one hundred percent waterproof and has an indoor toilet," Wolfram said.
He took out the map and lay it on the floor in front of him.
"No sense in wasting the time, perhaps I can work out a short cut."
Where does the toilet lead to? Titan wondered but did not voice.
Though it would not do much good, he plopped down next to Wolfram and began pouring over the map.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
08-09-2006, 14:37
"Our best bet it still to skirt around the forest in that direction," Wolfram said. "It's possible to walk right along it otherwise we'd have to cross that river."

"The last King of Svartalfheim," Temari then said. "If his ghost is there, he'd be a pretty nasty little bugger. He was murdered by his own wife whom turned out to be the rebel leader."
"So not only do we have to deal with Nocturne, but a vengeful ghost as well." Taylor mused, then grinned. "Excellent. Let's go!"
Draconis Nightcrawlis
08-09-2006, 15:22
"Only possibley," Temari said. "It's not certain that his ghost haunts the place."
Ichigo and Kimiko appeared behind her.
"We should first check out the place and work out positions."
CoreWorlds
08-09-2006, 16:13
"Alright." Taylor nodded.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
08-09-2006, 16:19
Temari and the two Genin left the castle and went to another car from the one before.
"I warn you know it's about an hour or so north of here in the moorland," she warned. "It gets cold very quickly and often rains."
CoreWorlds
08-09-2006, 16:28
Taylor frowned as he put away his gloves into a watertight pocket. "Crap. There goes my favorite technique."
"Our best bet it still to skirt around the forest in that direction," Wolfram said. "It's possible to walk right along it otherwise we'd have to cross that river."
"Well then let's walk along it..." Titan said as he sat backwards.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
08-09-2006, 18:26
Taylor frowned as he put away his gloves into a watertight pocket. "Crap. There goes my favorite technique."
Temari smirked as she started the engine. "If you get it hot enough you'll dry the rain before it hits you," she remarked. "Besides it'll only be damp inside the mound and it's unexplored so we don't know what to expect."
Draconis Nightcrawlis
08-09-2006, 18:29
"Well then let's walk along it..." Titan said as he sat backwards.
"Problem is here," he said pointing to a pot where the river seemed to run right alongside the forest. "I don't know how much bank there is between the forest and the river, we may be forced to cross there."
"How wide and deep is the river?" Titan wondered.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
08-09-2006, 18:36
"From this map it looks wide," Wolfram mentioned. "Theres no indication of depth."
"What if we can't cross?" Titan asked. He wasn't particularly tall being only eight years old and an even semi-deep crossing could be disastrous.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
08-09-2006, 19:05
Wolfram sighed. "That's something we'll have to think about," he said. "Since the city of the dead is just up river from there, there should be a bridge nearby."
"Fine... then it is settled," Titan commented as he sat down in a chair.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
08-09-2006, 23:36
"Not worried about the cities name now?" Wolfram grinned.
"Don't be so mean," Gorgron warned his cousin.
"We'll see when the time comes..."
Draconis Nightcrawlis
08-09-2006, 23:45
"Well your lightsaber should be enough to protect you," Wolfram said. "About the food, I lied."
"What part did you lie about? That you brought enough or that we might need to scavenge for our own should we be out here longer than planned," Titan worried.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
09-09-2006, 14:41
"That I brought enough," Wolfram grinned. "Just wanted to see your reaction."
"So your purposefully lied and mislead me? Great way to gain my trust..."

Temari smirked as she started the engine. "If you get it hot enough you'll dry the rain before it hits you," she remarked. "Besides it'll only be damp inside the mound and it's unexplored so we don't know what to expect."
"Alright." Taylor felt a little better.

09-09-2006, 20:00
"So your purposefully lied and mislead me? Great way to gain my trust..."
"I'm not here to gain your trust," Wolfram replied. "I'm not after anyones trust, I'm not supposed to tell you that we have enough because this is survival training."
Draconis Nightcrawlis
09-09-2006, 20:03
"Alright." Taylor felt a little better.
Temari turned around and smirked at Taylor. "Well I know how much you like to play with fire," she remarked.
Kimiko was busy readying her weapons, she knew to prepare for a fight.
"I'm not here to gain your trust," Wolfram replied. "I'm not after anyones trust, I'm not supposed to tell you that we have enough because this is survival training."
"Well then you should have told me in the beginning that we didn't have enough... you lied," Titan responded bitterly.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
09-09-2006, 20:07
"I did tell you we didn't have enough, we do or we don't, look beyond what is said," Wolfram said. "If you're greedy then we won't have enough."
"Don't try to use words to get out of this... that is what go you into this mess," Titan replied. "This is a black and white issue. Do we or do we not have enough supplies for a normal outing, all things being equal."
Draconis Nightcrawlis
09-09-2006, 20:23
"If you're greedy no, if you're not greedy yes," Wolfram grinned.
"Don't play mind games with him," Gorgron sternly told him.
"If this is supposed to be a mind game, then you are quite unintelligent," Titan replied. "There is no though provocation here besides his own insolence."
Draconis Nightcrawlis
09-09-2006, 20:35
Wolfram just laughed. "I like you you're funny."
Titan didn't smile. "I don't like you... you're an ass."

Taylor chuckled and watched the scenery pass by in the car.

Taylor chuckled and watched the scenery pass by in the car.
After an hour of driving, Temari turned off the road and headed down a narrow lane. There she parked the car in front of a large mound.
"Here it is."
Wolfram promptly turned into a donkey. "Hey, you're right," he said.
Titan didn't laugh. Just sat silently in his seat with his arms crossed.

Taylor nodded. "Let's check it out."
Draconis Nightcrawlis
09-09-2006, 22:00
Temari nodded as she retrieved her fan and placed it upon her back. "Entrance is this way," she said.
Up a winding path was a door set into the mound. There were two fires burning on each side.
"Your kind of place." she smirked.
"Wanker," Wolfram muttered and reverted back.
Gorgron just shook his head.
Titan remained unmoving and silent...

Temari walked up to the door and pushed against it. The door felt jammed.
"Need some help here," she said.
Ichigo and Kimiko then began pushing against the door with her.
CoreWorlds
09-09-2006, 23:46
"Hmm." Taylor thought and closed his eyes, reaching out with his hands. The Force flowed around him as he nudged the door, helping the others push it open.
Draconis Nightcrawlis
09-09-2006, 23:56
Eventually the door creaked open, slowly but surely. Inside the air was a little stuffy but there was no smell of death in the air.
"Hmm, seems a little cosy," Temari remarked. "That door was certainly built to try and keep people out but not us eh?"
While Gorgron lay down, giving up on the pair of them, Wolfram headed over to the tent opening to check if it was still raining.
Titan closed his eyes to get a little rest while he waited for them to move on with their journey.

Moving forward, Temari noted the burial in the centre of the mound.
"Thats the wife, she was executed for the murder."

"You're job. I'm the newbie..." he replied.

"And besides how good are you with maps?" Wolfram questioned him.
"Terrible," Titan replied, still eyes closed.

"Hmph," Wolfram remarked. "There is a class that you can sign up for that will help you with that."
"Not out here there isn't..."
The rain was heavy and the sound of it thudding into the tent and ground was soothing.

When they returned to the castle Kurt was waiting for them and he didn't look too happy. "Why did you leave without me?"
"Because it was onlt recon, you didn't need to be there and I'd prefer that you weren't," Temari said rather bluntly. "Now if you'll excuse me I need to speak to Jr."
Kurt grumbled as she walked past.

"You, we need you," Temari said pointing at Jr.
"Don't you think it's rude to barge in and inturrupt like that?" Jr replied angrily.
"Not really," the ninja replied.
