She kisses him back, just as softly, letting it linger for a moment before breaking it and resting her head on his shoulder.
OOC: I'll give it two posts before she falls asleep standing up.
Snake Eaters
26-06-2005, 22:22
He rubbed her back slightly, feeling her body warm up in response to his hands and embrace
Kaymiril
26-06-2005, 22:23
She murmurs something so softly it's incomprehensible.
Snake Eaters
26-06-2005, 22:25
He saw how tired she was, and picked her up in his arms, kissing her very softly as he carried her over to the bed. He laid her down, and then lay next to her, putting his arm round her to cuddle up closer to her
Kaymiril
26-06-2005, 22:26
She cuddles in closer to him, and is out within seconds.
Snake Eaters
26-06-2005, 22:27
He watched her drift to sleep, and lay there watching her sleep, before falling asleep himself
Kaymiril
26-06-2005, 22:29
The others come back in that night, so D'anthe lets her sleep until eight.
Snake Eaters
26-06-2005, 22:30
Cougar woke at seven thirty. He saw she was still there, and didn't move, just lay there dozing
Kaymiril
26-06-2005, 22:34
She opens her eyes about fifteen minutes later, and turns over to face him. His hair had grown out some, and she reached to move some away from his face.
Snake Eaters
26-06-2005, 22:35
He smiled,"Morning"
Kaymiril
26-06-2005, 22:36
"Good morning. Sleep well?"
Snake Eaters
26-06-2005, 22:36
"Very. Looks like you did as well"
Kaymiril
26-06-2005, 22:37
She nods. "Still a few minutes before D'anthe insists it's time to get up."
Snake Eaters
26-06-2005, 22:41
"It's a good few minutes," he said, brushing some of his hair out of the way and kissing her
Kaymiril
26-06-2005, 22:45
She kisses him back, very softly.
Snake Eaters
26-06-2005, 22:47
His hair fell back across his face, so he was forced to break the kiss very slowly,"I've got to get this cut"
Kaymiril
26-06-2005, 22:47
She laughs. "I remember when you had it long and liked it that way."
Snake Eaters
26-06-2005, 22:48
"I've got used to having it short"
Kaymiril
26-06-2005, 22:51
"Yes, I know. I remember when you got it cut. Almost didn't recognise you when you came home."
Snake Eaters
26-06-2005, 22:52
He laughed,"Yes... I thought you were going to lock me out the house at that point"
Kaymiril
26-06-2005, 22:53
"Lucky for you we were married at that point, so I could feel that it was you."
Snake Eaters
26-06-2005, 22:55
He smiled, and kissed her again, having tucked his hair behind his ear for the time being
Kaymiril
26-06-2005, 22:59
She smiles and kisses him back, and then D'anthe nudges her. She breaks the kiss slowly.
"Well, looks like it's time to go."
Snake Eaters
26-06-2005, 23:00
"Looks like it," he sighed, sitting up and starting to get dressed,"Back to class as usual... and I was just getting used to free reign again"
Kaymiril
26-06-2005, 23:01
She gets up, and starts preparing for her day. "Oh well. You'll get over it."
She goes and gives him a kiss, then leaves.
Snake Eaters
26-06-2005, 23:02
"I'm sure I will," he said, kissing her and leaving soon after
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 04:13
Life in Rendelmar is once again busy...everyone is back, like they'd never left.
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 19:46
He smiled slightly. Although he was anti-social at times, it was good to see them all back in one piece
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 19:48
They all seem glad to be back...even though it means back to training.
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 19:51
He went about his daily buisness, going to his class as required, and then filling his time with other training. He felt that the war had passed him by, knowing that the trip had gone on and would most likely end it all in the past, but still, it paid to be prepared
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 19:54
Shan joins him again for some of his training. "So, what are we doing today?"
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 19:54
Cougar had been working on some things that Leviathan had been teaching him,"New magick styles... and also a tiny bit of infiltration later"
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 19:58
"Cool."
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 19:59
Does this kid never give up?
"How'd you do out there?"
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 20:01
He shrugs. "Could have done worse...but there are still missing."
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 20:02
"There always are some that are missing after a large battle..." mused Cougar, knowing well the meaning,"Anyway, care to join me?"
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 20:03
"I guess."
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 20:04
Cougar smiled,"Good... I need someone to spar with who is at my level, if not slightly higher"
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 20:06
Shan looked confused a moment, then nodded. "You mean magickally. Okay."
He goes to the other side of the room, and stands ready.
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 20:09
Cougar lit himself up... but there was something different. Whilst before, it had flared around him, it now stayed tight. The control he had over it had increased dramatically. It formed a barrier round him, and he stood ready himself, the energy sizzling in his hands,"Ready when you are"
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 20:10
"I am ready."
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 20:12
Cougar fired off a small blast of energy, which rolled as it came towards Shan, crackling
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 20:13
Shan held up his hand, first three fingers up, and guestured, sending the ball of energy off to the side. A faint sheen of blue energy can be seen between his index and middle fingers.
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 20:15
Shield spell... controlled by where he puts his hand by the looks of it
Cougar launched a three pronged assualt, the beams leaving his body and curving in the air, leaving burning afterimages on his retinas... well, as best they could. They would all hit Shan at the same moment
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 20:17
The sheild spreads to cover Shan's entire front, and from his other hand he launches a spell crackling with black energy...only it spread out as it came toward him...like an ooze, trying to cover him.
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 20:19
That's a new one
Cougar lanced out with spears of fire, trying to pentrate the ooze like magick, but he also shielded himself with the new technique Leviathan had showed him. It came up, a barrier of Flame, and had the room not been protected against magicks, it would most likely have melted the floor
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 20:21
The ooze is not so quickly broken, and it moves in closer, wrapping around Cougar's arm.
"A technique you learned in class will help here."
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 20:23
Which one... ah, but of course
Cougar stopped his assualt, and turned his attention to a new tactic; closing it down. He enclosed the ooze in Flame, and began to squeeze it, containing it
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 20:25
The ooze began to be contained, but a different attack launched out at Cougar, sending a silver spiral at his head.
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 20:27
Cougar countered, taking the spiral with the palm of his hand, and wrapping it in White Flame, before sending it shooting back at Shan
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 20:28
Like a spring...
Shan's spell stretches out, then turns and heads back at Cougar, aiming for his torso this time...but its trailing end would contact his legs. And the ooze started spreading again when he left off his concentration.
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 20:33
Great... no matter what I do, I'm going to lose this... so much for improving. Thanks a bunch Leviathan, you taught me jack... all you taught was control
Cougar was forced to split his concentration, and the ooze began to expand again. He deflected the attack... but couldn't stop the ooze. So he did the next best thing, and teleported away. He arrived next to Shan, and unleashed two balls of energy
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 20:35
Shan got his sheilds up in time to not take damage, but he still went flying.
Landing on his feet, he lashed out with a dual spell...one part to drain Cougar's energy, and the other to eat away at his defense.
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 20:37
Why do I bother anymore... I'm always gonna get beaten
Cougar just stood there, and let both of the spells hit him. He simply stopped caring
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 20:37
"What are you doing?"
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 20:38
"What does it look like I'm doing?"
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 20:42
"Something stupid!"
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 20:43
"Sounds like something I would do," he said, charging a response to the energy drain inside of himself, away from the draining
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 20:48
"Do it in combat, it'll get you killed...but here..."
Shan's spells fade.
"It isn't worth it."
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 20:51
"At least in combat, I can actually do something with it," said Cougar, unleashing the charge he had been building. It flowed out of both hands, gathering energy as it sped across the room. The impact wasn't going to be hard, but the aftershock would, theoretically, knock him off his feet
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 20:53
Shan got his sheilds up in time to avoid the first wave, but that crumbled them, as they were put up rushedly.
The aftershock send him flying, and he barely avoided cracking his head open on the stone floor. He didn't charge a return attack, focusing on rebuilding his sheilds.
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 21:01
*Dryly*Wow... it worked. I'm so shocked, I cannot speak
Cougar just held up his hand, ready to take another attack
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 21:04
Shan stood up, and began to charge a spell, when all of a sudden, his sheilds started fading.
He started to put them up again, but within a minute, all of his magick was non-functional.
"Huh...looks like the spells they put on me have come into effect." By way of explanation "If any of us...except for you, have to start using too much tupora fashka to charge our spells, locks come into place so that we don't use it and thereby inadvertantly kill ourselves."
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 21:05
"I've never had them cast on me, because to do so would stop me completely"
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 21:06
"Yeah, well, such is life." He shrugs. "See ya later, I guess." He turns to walk out.
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 21:08
"See you around," he called, sitting down, and staring at his hands. Leviathan had pulled a trick yesterday, of creating a temporal hole. He'd hidden it from the others, but it was his way to teach Cougar more. He'd taken him there for a year or so... even though it was only a few minutes in real life. Cougar hadn't aged any, and also could still feel his bond, which reassured him. However... it seemed as if the only way to win was by them exhausting themselves... and that was only due to the events of the past few days. He stopped his training for the day, and just went back to the room
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 21:11
Rhenna gets back in at around nine-thirty.
"Something the matter?"
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 21:12
"No... not really"
His voice was convincing, but his manner wasn't
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 21:13
She sits down next to him. "Want to tell me about it?"
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 21:15
"How does it feel to be married to the worst mage in this place, taking into account his training?"
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 21:18
"Is that what's bothering you? I don't really think of it...you're a soldier, James...magick is something else entirely. You might take your magick to its full potential and still not be quite as effective as a fifty-year-old here, in some aspects. In others, you might surpass Renor. Your magick strikes me as very specific...no more, no less."
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 21:19
"Too specific. I spend a whole year training with the master of the Flame, and yet still, I cannot even beat Shan"
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 21:20
"Wait...back up. When were you gone for a year?"
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 21:23
"I wasn't going to mention it... Leviathan pulled a temporal trick, and trained me for a whole year. Sheer hell, I can tell you that much. I missed you so much, but he wouldn't let me go. And to you, it only seemed to be a few minutes"
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 21:25
She reaches out and begins to run her fingers through his hair.
"The time will come when you will understand your abilities, and their limits. Obstacles that you cannot break through...you must go around."
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 21:27
He closed his eyes,"It's just so... irritating. I mean, in that class, even though you say I'm improving... I can't see it"
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 21:28
"It's hard to see one's own progress, yes...but you really have come far."
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 21:29
He pushed himself up on his elbows,"Really?"
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 21:30
"Really."
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 21:30
He smiled slightly,"If you say it, it must be true"
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 21:31
She smiles and leans down to kiss him.
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 21:33
He kissed her back, letting it linger for a moment. He had missed her, but she'd been so tired last night, he'd decided not to say anything
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 21:36
She breaks it after a time, gently, but she doesn't pull back far.
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 21:37
"Remind me not to go away for what seems like a year"
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 21:39
"I'll do that, but how can I be sure you'll listen?"
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 21:41
"Because I have no wish to do it all over again?"
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 21:42
"That's probably a good reason."
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 21:42
"There you go then"
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 21:45
She lays down next to him. "Interesting, that you could be gone so long, by your standards, and I didn't even notice it."
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 21:46
"To you, it was only a few minutes."
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 21:47
She nods. "And a busy few minutes it must have been."
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 21:53
He smiled,"Most likely, for you not to notice I was gone"
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 21:55
She laughs. "You could have told me last night...but I don't know how alert I would have been."
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 22:00
"You wouldn't have noticed much"
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 22:03
"Probably not."
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 22:04
He smiled, and kissed her again,"How was your day?"
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 22:05
She kisses him back. "Not bad...everything's getting back to normal, and I don't have to deal with thirty-five little kids all on my own...especially when one has the tendency to wander off."
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 22:06
"Why do I suspect I know the one you're talking about?"
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 22:09
"Probably because you like him, in particular."
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 22:14
"He found me, not the other way around... but yeah, I've got a special attachment to him"
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 22:16
She smiles. "I think it's cute."
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 22:17
"Why?"
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 22:29
"Well, think about it for a moment. Two years ago, did you think you'd be good with children?"
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 22:31
"In no way, shape or form"
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 22:32
"But look at you now."
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 22:37
He smiled,"I suppose there has been some shift"
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 22:38
"To put it mildly."
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 22:39
"Living here, you have to get on with children, or you don't get on that much"
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 22:40
"True."
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 22:40
He smiled,"At least we agree on that"
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 22:42
"I have to admit, though...I never thought about it like that."
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 22:46
"Well, I'm glad to have exposed you to a new way of thinking. You get that alot with me"
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 23:03
She laughs and kisses him. "Must be a cultural thing."
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 23:06
He kissed her back, breaking it for a moment to say,"It could be... or I could just be slightly mental," before kissing her again
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 23:13
"You could be. We'll never know." She kisses him back, letting it linger.
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 23:15
He brought his arm up, and started to rub her upper arm as he let it linger
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 23:18
She moves in closer. He would be able to feel her warm to his touch.
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 23:19
A year away... and you never forget
He smiled slightly, still kissing her, still rubbing her arm
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 23:38
A few minutes...a year for him...he feels so happy to be back.
She continues the kiss, sliding one hand around to the back of his neck.
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 23:40
He felt her hand move round to the back of his neck, drawing him even closer to her...
*****************************************************************
*Some undefined peroid of time later*
He lay there, his arms wrapped round her, enjoying the sensation of her cool skin against his,"I love you"
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 23:42
She smiles. "I love you, too." She kisses him softly, then lays her head on his chest.
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 23:43
He smiled, kissing her back just as softly,"I missed you so much... a year is too long"
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 23:45
She nods, and starts tracing gently along one of his scars.
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 23:49
He lay there, enjoying the sensation of her fingers tracing his war wounds... one of many. He started running a finger down her back
Kaymiril
27-06-2005, 23:50
She smiles softly, shivering slightly as his fingers hit certain points.
Warhaven
27-06-2005, 23:52
OOC: This isn't something to fight, so it belongs here.
IC: After Kajeenith sealed Ephseus, he stood atop his Fortress-temple.
"Milord, the, sacrifices, are ready." The executioner said.
"Good, Warfare is brilliant, I'll give him that, deliberatly dying to lull me into a false sense of security was a brilliant ploy, but Have I got a surprise for him when he returns, because they will suceed, I remember seeing their little group on Mirroden long long ago during the third War. I didn't think a thing of it at the time, I should have squashed them then. But no, I let them pass, I was too preoccupied with Warfare. Anyways, I'm going to have a surprise waiting for Warfare when he returns, you see, the old death never collected the souls of the Dark Gods, and their bodies never rotted, there are a lot of free citizens around creation that can be pressed into worship services, and all I have to do to revive them, to bring back the defeated Dark Gods that Warfare slew, is sacrifice our willing volunteers from Kaymiril. Thus they will resurect and I will take them with me, and decimate Warfare and his allies. With the extra sacrifices, we will remove Death's curse, by force." Kajeenith said.
Kajeenith let out an Evil laugh, and it was done.
Snake Eaters
27-06-2005, 23:53
OOC: And the attack on SEP??
IC: He smiled,"You like that, don't you?"
Warhaven
27-06-2005, 23:59
OOC:This attack is going to encompass Snake Eaters as well. Especially since, part of the fight is going to happen there, unless Leviathan blocks it, then SEP will be skipped altogether. Its a Large scale battle. Each Major Character will have a Dark God to fight, except Monian, whom I assume will be left safely in Rendelmar, and Aldur, who can't even fight off a butterfly yet. Shan has a Child like dark God of about equal power that likes to play ball. Unless Shan gets left behind, at which point, there will be an extra Dark God running around.
Kaymiril
28-06-2005, 02:35
OOC: And the attack on SEP??
IC: He smiled,"You like that, don't you?"
She smiles back. "Has a year made you forget?"
Snake Eaters
28-06-2005, 08:39
"No... I just felt like asking"
Kaymiril
28-06-2005, 17:59
She smiles and kisses him softly.
Snake Eaters
28-06-2005, 18:02
He kissed her back, his fingers curling in her hair
Kaymiril
28-06-2005, 18:06
She lets it linger, feeling herself start to drift off.
Snake Eaters
28-06-2005, 18:08
He watched her start to drift off as he broke the kiss very softly,"Get some sleep, you look like you need it"
Kaymiril
28-06-2005, 18:32
"What time is it?"
Snake Eaters
28-06-2005, 19:33
He didn't look at his watch, preferring to use his internal clock so as to minimise his movement and maximise his comfort,"Almost two in the morning"
Kaymiril
28-06-2005, 19:48
She cuddles in a little closer. "Then sleep sounds like a good idea."
Snake Eaters
28-06-2005, 19:52
"Sleep is a good idea," he said, cuddling even closer still, kissing the top of her head,"Good night, Rhenna"
Kaymiril
28-06-2005, 20:24
"Good night, James." She gradually drifts off to sleep.
Snake Eaters
28-06-2005, 20:27
This is something I really missed...
That was the last thought going through his head as he drifted off to sleep. He was happy... in his terms, the first time he'd been really happy in a year... but happy nonetheless
Kaymiril
28-06-2005, 20:29
At 7:30, D'anthe nudged Rhenna out of a comfortable sleep. She got up, dressed, then leaned down to kiss her husband.
Snake Eaters
28-06-2005, 20:29
He stirred awake,"Is it that time already"
Kaymiril
28-06-2005, 20:31
"I'm afraid so."
Snake Eaters
28-06-2005, 20:32
He cursed softly in the Snake tongue, the first time she had ever heard him use it, and then sat up, calling over his shirt,"And here was I, really comfortable"
Kaymiril
28-06-2005, 20:33
"I know you were...but Rendelmar's back to functioning normally, so we both have to be up."
Snake Eaters
28-06-2005, 20:35
He groaned anyway, getting dressed quickly, making sure his cloak was still on the back of the door before making for the door, stopping to kiss her on the way,"See you later"
Kaymiril
28-06-2005, 20:37
"Tonight."
Snake Eaters
28-06-2005, 20:39
He kissed her again,"Alright, see you then"
He left the room, heading for some morning workouts before the class
Kaymiril
28-06-2005, 20:39
Rhenna heads out, as well.
Snake Eaters
28-06-2005, 20:41
He spent the time before class working out, mostly focusing and refining his techniques
Kaymiril
28-06-2005, 20:43
Class that day was quick and focused, but not energy draining. It appeared that Vedt was expecting another attack soon...and with Renor still gone...
Snake Eaters
28-06-2005, 20:46
Cougar was worried about Snake Eaters. He couldn't help it... if Kajeenith was anything like he had read, he would go after the ones who had jumped to Kaymiril's aid... Snake Eaters was the only target left. It didn't affect his focus, and actually now his year away could be seen. His energy was much more focused, much more potent
Kaymiril
28-06-2005, 20:47
Vedt watched. Such improvement...seemingly overnight...I know better than to truly believe it...I will have to speak to Rhenmet for the full explanation.
Snake Eaters
28-06-2005, 20:49
Cougar finished his session easily enough. It seemed as though he wasn't using anything as much energy as he used to... to those watching, it would have been extremely odd
Kaymiril
28-06-2005, 20:51
Everyone notices, but no one mentions anything.
Snake Eaters
28-06-2005, 20:52
He didn't notice his own change... he'd grown used to it over the past 'year'. He just continued to work
Kaymiril
28-06-2005, 20:54
After class, Shan caught up with him. "So, what were you up to, yesterday?"
Snake Eaters
28-06-2005, 20:57
"How do you mean?"
Kaymiril
28-06-2005, 21:00
"Well, before we left, you had control, but now, the control is more focused. You use less energy to greater effect...according to Vedt's calculations, you should have taken two more years to reach that level, under his training."
Snake Eaters
28-06-2005, 21:02
Cougar considered this,"Vedt is not my only teacher, nor does he know all of my power. There are others who can teach me more in shorter space of time"
Kaymiril
28-06-2005, 21:03
"But how much do you learn in a day, Cougar?"
Snake Eaters
28-06-2005, 21:04
"Time is not all it seems. They don't teach temporal mechanics here, or in SHADOW, but I find it helps to have some idea of what is going on"
Kaymiril
28-06-2005, 21:05
"And now you've lost me."
Snake Eaters
28-06-2005, 21:08
Cougar switched on his holoemitters, which projected a simulated image of the surrounding area,"Here we are, in Rendelmar, right? Now, for us, time is forever moving forward, as it does everywhere. But we are used to the 60 seconds, 60 minutes, one hour et cetera. But, it is not the same flow of time everywhere. What you may percieve as five minutes could be almost a year in another... dimension if you will"
Kaymiril
28-06-2005, 21:10
"Odd."
Snake Eaters
28-06-2005, 21:12
"Odd... yes. But it is fact. That is why I am more in control, more focused than every before"
Kaymiril
28-06-2005, 21:13
"It would suck to be gone for a year, and not even be missed."
Snake Eaters
28-06-2005, 21:14
Cougar smiled... or so it seemed,"Yes... it does suck. Royally so"
Kaymiril
28-06-2005, 21:15
"Ah well. Maybe you'll know better, next time."
Snake Eaters
28-06-2005, 21:18
"Maybe Shan... I already made her promise me that she would remind me not to go"
Kaymiril
28-06-2005, 21:21
"True...and everyone knows that you better listen to Rhenna, or the consequences could be bad."
Snake Eaters
28-06-2005, 21:23
"Yes... very bad indeed. Just a question Shan... did everyone notice?"
Kaymiril
28-06-2005, 21:25
"Yeah. Vedt's speaking to Rhenna right now, learning what you just told me."
Snake Eaters
28-06-2005, 21:26
"I thought he would... oh well, better people know than suspect me of foul-play"
Kaymiril
28-06-2005, 21:30
"Foul-play? Learning magick isn't about foul or fair play...I mean, unless you sold your soul to some dark Power in exchange for more power/control or what not."
Snake Eaters
28-06-2005, 21:31
He laughed,"No... no selling of my soul"
Kaymiril
28-06-2005, 21:33
"Okay, good. Rhenna'd kill you."
Snake Eaters
28-06-2005, 21:34
"I know she would... and dying is, contray to popular belief, not one of my aims in life"
Kaymiril
28-06-2005, 23:39
"Contrary to very popular belief."
Snake Eaters
28-06-2005, 23:41
Cougar laughed,"Yes... I do give out that idea somewhat"
Kaymiril
28-06-2005, 23:42
"Or a lot."
Snake Eaters
28-06-2005, 23:43
"Hey, I don't aim to get myself killed... I just learned to take calculated risks that could kill me"
Kaymiril
28-06-2005, 23:43
"What's the difference?"
Snake Eaters
28-06-2005, 23:45
"One where I want to get killed, and one where I don't aim to get killed, but circumstances almost do kill me"
Kaymiril
28-06-2005, 23:49
"Oh. You mean something like that?"
They had come to an intersection, and Shan guestured off to the right.
When Cougar looked, there was a creature that looked like it could have only come from someone's nightmare...or the bowels of Hell.
Snake Eaters
28-06-2005, 23:51
Instinct made Cougar go for a weapon first, then he found himself unarmed. He shook his head slightly,"That's pretty much it yeah, whats your point?"
Kaymiril
28-06-2005, 23:52
The creature dissolved, and Shan shrugged.
J -- "Shan, you've got to be the stupidest guy in the world."
S -- "Nah...it worked for a second."
Snake Eaters
28-06-2005, 23:53
Cougar raised an eyebrow,"And the point of that was?"
Kaymiril
28-06-2005, 23:55
J - "I thought Rhenna would have warned him."
S -- "Maybe she did, but he forgot." To Cougar -- "We're the practical joke artists around here. We hadn't pulled one on you yet."
Snake Eaters
28-06-2005, 23:56
"She did warn me... and that was offically the worst practical joke I have ever seen. It was convincing, I'll give you that... but then it kind of failed"
Kaymiril
28-06-2005, 23:57
Jovin grinned. "As you'll see...it isn't over yet."
The two boys walk off.
Snake Eaters
28-06-2005, 23:58
Alright... time to fall back on training
Cougar was, for the rest of the day, in a constant state of alertness.
Kaymiril
28-06-2005, 23:58
Nothing happened...but he kept getting some funny looks.
Snake Eaters
29-06-2005, 00:01
Alright... now I know they've done something
He teleported away, coming back into existence in the room. First port of call, the mirror
Kaymiril
29-06-2005, 00:05
Apparently, as the spell had dissipated, it had marked Cougar. Now his face was 'painted' in the form of the face the monster had had...except where the monster was colored various shades of pink and purple, he was blue and green.
Snake Eaters
29-06-2005, 00:06
He smiled, then laughed, and scribed a note, sending it to Shan and Jovin,Well done. Very well done indeed
Kaymiril
29-06-2005, 00:07
But he was still blue and green...quite a problem to solve.
Snake Eaters
29-06-2005, 00:09
Cougar couldn't wash it off, he knew that much. And he couldn't dispell it. So, he did the next best thing, taking his full sneaking suit and pulling the hood over his face, as it also doubled as a balaclava. He wasn't going anywhere
Kaymiril
29-06-2005, 00:12
Rhenna comes in later, and looks at him strangely.
"James, why do you have that thing over your head?"
Snake Eaters
29-06-2005, 00:13
"When you have a blue and green face, you don't have much choice"
Kaymiril
29-06-2005, 00:14
"Blue and green? What happened? Or should my question be: what did they do this time?"
The last sentence was said with a grin.
Snake Eaters
29-06-2005, 00:15
"If only I knew... let's just say this isn't the most attractive face at the moment"
Kaymiril
29-06-2005, 00:15
"If I can't see it, I can't disspell it."
Snake Eaters
29-06-2005, 00:16
"Fine..."
He pulled the hood back, and shook his slightly longer hair out,"Happy now?"
Kaymiril
29-06-2005, 00:17
She looks like she's trying hard not to laugh, then passed a hand over his face.
"There...you have your face back. Feel better?"
Snake Eaters
29-06-2005, 00:18
"Go ahead, laugh away"
Kaymiril
29-06-2005, 00:19
She does, then kisses him. "I know...it never seems funny on the receiving end."
Snake Eaters
29-06-2005, 00:20
"You could say that much," he said grudingly, still kissing her regardless
Kaymiril
29-06-2005, 00:22
"So, other than having Shan and Jovin pull their first prank on you, how has your day been?"
Snake Eaters
29-06-2005, 00:24
"I've had a variety of odd looks thrown my way all day. First off because of my seemingly impossible improvement in the space of fourty eight hours, and then the aforementioned prank. To put it in a nutshell, not all that great. You?"
Kaymiril
29-06-2005, 00:25
She kisses him softly, sympathetically. "My day was fairly normal, by my standards."
Snake Eaters
29-06-2005, 00:27
He kissed her back, feeling her sympathy,"I remember when a day used to be normal to me... no more"
Kaymiril
29-06-2005, 00:29
"Then tell me...what was a 'normal' day?"
Snake Eaters
29-06-2005, 00:30
"A day when I used to just go, practice my trade over and over until I could hit that target perfect, or break that code in a certain amount of time...simple"
Kaymiril
29-06-2005, 00:36
"It doesn't sound that different from what we do here. Only we don't use bullets and computer codes."
Snake Eaters
29-06-2005, 00:37
"Not as much as I did, no. But that was normal to me... still, I traded it in for an adventure... and I got one"
Kaymiril
29-06-2005, 00:37
"Or several."
Snake Eaters
29-06-2005, 00:38
"I was thinking of something in which I had no idea what the outcome was going to be"
His arms tightened slightly round her waist
Kaymiril
29-06-2005, 00:42
She smiles. "That adventure...yes...a shared one."
Snake Eaters
29-06-2005, 00:43
He smiled, and kissed her again, just being soft and loving
Kaymiril
29-06-2005, 00:48
She kissed him back, just as lovingly, letting it linger.
Snake Eaters
29-06-2005, 00:57
"I don't want to leave again too soon"
Kaymiril
29-06-2005, 04:35
"I know you don't."
At that moment, the call for battle came. "But it looks like we both must. Five minutes to prepare for battle."
She kisses him, then gets up, and starts preparing.
Snake Eaters
29-06-2005, 12:08
"Ah, the sick irony of things," he chuckled blandly, grabbing all his equipment that he normally carried. He was ready to go in less than five minutes.
Kaymiril
29-06-2005, 13:55
She prepared swiftly, and teleported him out when it was time.
Snake Eaters
30-06-2005, 10:15
OOC: Considering we're back here now, and also considering I missed somethings, I'm just going from what I knew last
IC: Leviathan looked at Aldur long and hard,"Definatley like his father... wait a minute... you weren't pregnant a month ago"
Warhaven
30-06-2005, 23:49
"Funny what Traveling back in time to a certain place does to a pregnancy. I was five weeks along before hand." Arianna said.
Costh, seeing that the medics were simply doing 'clean-up', decided to seek out Warfare and see how he was doing.
Snake Eaters
01-07-2005, 08:13
"Funny what Traveling back in time to a certain place does to a pregnancy. I was five weeks along before hand." Arianna said.
Leviathan smiled at the child, surprised to see him smiling back,"Have you taken him to see Warfare yet... that reminds me, I'd best go see him"
Warhaven
01-07-2005, 16:35
"well then, lets go." Arianna said. everything went hazy and indistinct, and suddenly they were in the room with Warfare.
"Leviathan, Arianna!, and, who's this little guy?" Warfare asked.
Arianna gently took Aldur from Leviathan.
"Warfare, meet your son, Aldur." Arianna said.
Warfare, despite his big strong warrior appearence, took his son with more gentleness than one might think, and simply held him close, not saying anything.
"Time and space were not his original domains. I don't know what were, but now its Time and space, must've been the trip." Warfare said informativly.
After a few more minutes, he simply laid his hand on Aldur's head, and said "Welcome to life, my son, may you find great riches and happiness on the road you take through the journey of life."
Costh managed to find Warfare's tent, but could tell that he had visitors, one being Arianna, the other he could place but not name and one he'd had no clue who it was. He decided to wait until he'd finished with his present guests.
Snake Eaters

"It's good to see you awake. You've had all of us worried for the past few days"
Warhaven
02-07-2005, 01:16
"Leviathan, my friend, worry no more, I have no more enemies, I have destroyed, slain, or uncreated them all." Warfare said.
Warfare noticed Costh in the Halls of Mithdelmar.
"Costh! come on in, Meet my son, Aldur." Warfare said.
Costh walks in, "So this is your son? It's a pleasure to meet you." Costh says, addressing the child. "What is his name and I do believe congratulations are in order thought normally it's the mother who's in bed, not the father." Costh commented with a grin.
Warhaven
02-07-2005, 01:43
"Like he said, his name is Aldur." Arianna said.
"I missed that, sorry. It's good to see both of you are alright thought." Costh replied, "What are his areas?"
Snake Eaters
02-07-2005, 11:14
"Leviathan, my friend, worry no more, I have no more enemies, I have destroyed, slain, or uncreated them all." Warfare said.
Warfare noticed Costh in the Halls of Mithdelmar.
"Costh! come on in, Meet my son, Aldur." Warfare said.
Lucky you thought Leviathan. At least Warfare no longer had enemies... unfortunatley, the Pantheon of Chaos had taken an intense dislike to him and his nation.
"I worry not for you from deities.... mortals can also be dangerous. In a good way"
As he was talking, he looked at Costh, and thought to himself,Worst joke....EVER!
**********************************************************
OOC: Given that I'm in control of kay's chars whilst she's away^_^
Mith came in at that point, just to check on Warfare, taking a few measurements of his vitals,"Good to see you awake, I'll inform the Queen"
OOC: Don't expect miracles with these guys
Warhaven

IC: "I know Mortals can be dangerous, i'm just saying I'm enemy free at the moment. And Mith, mother's in the corner." Warfare said.
"Aldur's domains are currently Time and space, though that could change within the first few months of his Life." Warfare said.
OOC: How's your vacation goin?

L -- "Arianna asked me to act as Aldur's uncle... I assume you are alright with that?"
Warhaven
02-07-2005, 15:13
"I was thinking the same thing myself. After all, someone has to spoil him, and I fear that mother might be to busy running her nation, Aunt Dora got married, and Great grandmothers always have automatic spoil rights." Warfare said with a smile. Aldur let out a little giggle, he seemed to agree.
Arianna sighed. with everybody already planning on spoiling him, it'd be a wonder if he didn't grow up chaotic.
Snake Eaters
02-07-2005, 16:51
Leviathan smiled,"If you think I'm going to spoil you, Aldur... you'd be right. But not right now, as my spoilings take the form of drinks for the most part, and I very much doubt your parents want you to become a drunkard"
Kaymiril
03-07-2005, 00:32
OOC: LOL. Hi guys, having fun, I'm in Arkansas and taking a personality test atm. Required. I am also a college student for the next two weeks.
"Warfare, I don't mean to intrude but could you answer a question for me?" Costh asked
ooc: why would a personality test be required, but hope you're having a good time Kaymiril.

Warfare and Arianna at the exact same time, both in a stern voice: "NOTHING ALCOHOLIC!"

The Wizards Council forum has been silent as a morgue without Necros.
"During the battle with Kajeenith/his followers and the other dark gods, I went up a god who didn't speak, and when I defeated him, I recieved these, could you tell me what they are and what they do?" Costh asked as he pulled out the Three Charms of Charity from the Vault.
Warhaven
03-07-2005, 02:05
"Ahh you fought the dark God known as Greed. That's his name, surely you felt your own greed rising? Anyways, place those charms, all three of them together, in an area, or give them a person you want to recieve more charity, and it will. Like, if you left it here in Mithdelmar, its fortune would rise, meaning it would have much more luck curing any and all diseases, and would lose less patients, but thats alright, cause I'm convinced Mith can cure anything and everything under the sun." Warfare said.
"Ah, I think I understand now." Costh replied, "Thank you for your time." He said as he headed out.

Gypsy was watching the tapistry, as per what she was supposed to do, and smooth any wrinkles and undo any knots. She came across a section, that she had to show the fates. They agreed, she should warn her father.
Gypsy went to her father.
"Beware, for the time shall come when you are gone beyond all communication and help, that The darkness and the Greed shall return. The dolls of Magic will be stolen, and The darkness and the greed shall work together, and swarm the worlds of the council, and take over. The dark elves in the Light shall fall second, the snake shall fall third. The Nation of The young Rune Mage will fall fourth, and the nation of the screaming Archmagus shall fall fifth, last to fall will be the worlds of the Notghost. The Many nation united under the bannner of War shall fall first. Watch well the outside for that is where it shall start. The Gods themselves will not be allowed to interfere, lest creation itself be ripped apart in the struggle." She said.
"Remember, the point of a prophecy is to warn, so that you may prepare for action, not so that you may lament the unvhangible future, for now, it is still yet possible to avert the future, but it will be trying. Successs or failure, this will all ride upon a decision you make in the future, father. I believe in you, and good luck." Gypsy said, then she vanished.
