Somewhere above a great stretch of ocean on Earth, it was a clear day, with possibly a few clouds on the horizon. Then without warning, a tempest blew in and covered most of that stretch of ocean for a full day and a full night. scanners in the area were disrupted. Ships were blown back, and the sea boiled and frothed as though in a mighty rage. Then, as suddenly as it had come, it vanished, leaving something in its wake.

It was a brand new continent, but this one was already owned. And it was Flying. Bourne upon the backs of the spirits of the air it flew leisurely, with grace and skill.

Then a broadcast came forth from it.

"To all those intrested, The government of Ri-an has invited the many nations of Creation to come together for a hunt of beasts of great stature and power. Beasts, that through the unique qualities of the environment on the Flying Continent, have become greater than the ordinary creatures you knew them to be.

Imagine hunting a rabbit as big as a house, or a snake longer and bigger than the subway, possibly faster too. Wish you could've hunted the Dinosaurs? Guess what, on our continent, they never died. What about more exotic prey? If you have the courage, then by spaceship, by plane, magick, or some other means of conveyance, come to the Flying Cintinent, Exact location buried within this message, somewhere.

Oh yes, The Departments of War, Homeland security, and Defense have come together to offer a 5 billion dollar reward to the hunter or split among the hunters with the best catch. 10 Billion if a creature we have fondly named Garthox is captured, alive."

The Flying Continent hovered over the ovean, sitting there, in a silent mocking challenge.

-OOC-
Oh, how tempting it is for a Zircon Hivemaster to decide he needs one of what those Organics call a vacation... Then again, he might be mistaken for a critter to be hunted and cause in international incident on a massive scale. (Then again, that's half the fun!)

OOC: what's to say he couldn't adopt a semi-human form? I promise a strong match for everyone, MT, FT, or otherwise. Not all creatures here are real. Though a few have existed in myth and fairytale, such as the basilisk. Then there will be a few modern myths, like Magick the gathering's Vizzerdrix. Just remember, all creatures are bigger.

-OOC-
Oh, I'm quite sure he could find a challenge, despite his size and power. I was just musing about the tendancy of Zircon to pick fights, have fights started with them, and generally leave a trail of destruction in thier path.

Y'know... Good, clean fun. ^_^

... Crap, that's right, you haven't been exposed to the rocks yet, have you?

OOC:
I thought Sol was another name for Earth. don't tell me its actually the Sun. It is, isn't it.

*Hangs head in Shame.*

All right, I'll fix it.

-OOC-

Well, technically, Sol is one BIG ocean. It's just plasma instead of water.

Minor technicality. Earth would be Sol III. ^_^


Well, Ri-an, a Zircon can be describes as a big rock-like critter with a penchant for violence, a dislike of anything that isn't them or doesn't follow their goddess, and are generally tough buggers on the ground. They regenerate fairly quickly, and have a nasty built-in weapon called a Zircon Beam projected from thier "eye" in thier head. They're also quite fast, and quite proficient at hand-to-hand combat. If it's doomed, it's not uncommon for a Zircon to decide to take it's foes down with it and blow up. In fact, lesser Zircon regularly do this as a standard strategy. The explosion is usually rather large, making them effective suicide bombers.

THIS (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v384/MachinaKyrios/Third-Generation%20Renders/Zircon%20Evolution/Worker1.jpg) is a Zircon. THIS (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v384/MachinaKyrios/Third-Generation%20Renders/Zircon%20Evolution/Worker6.jpg) is a side view of one. They sense light out of thier "flesh" and can feel vibrations quite well. The eye is a weak point, however, and if it's taken out it will harm the Zircon's senses greatly, stop its regenerative abilities, and prevent it from self-destructing.

A Zircon Hivelord or Hivemaster, or rather one's avatar, is about twenty-eight feet when standing on all four limbs. The other measurements can be guessed at from there. It's not uncommon for these creatures to rip apart heavy armored units like tanks, or throw objects thirty times thier mass.

They were created by Minagoroshi, the Goddess All-Consuming, as the perfect shock troopers. However, it's rumored they're highly susceptible to high-pitched noises. ^_^

OOC:
Mention those things ICly over in the Embassy thread, because there are a few natural Dangers, (unintended) depending on where the Embasssy is placed. I do not now, nor do I ever, wish to accidentally kill someone on my soil whose there in the name of peace.

The captain of Saro Dalian agriculture would like to take part and requests information on what pistols, small cannons and explosive would be able to take out so he doesnt exceed his power.

The Sultan finished his journey over the crstal bridge (See International Empires Club Opens) and appeared in a room with the Sorcerers. He had with him, among other things, a large, plastic .50 caliber rifle. He, being quite fit, easily hefted the modified weapon with the help of a shoulder strap. Besides that, he had 20 clips of ammo, a few gronola bars and, of course, clothing. Rather than bringing an actual human companion (sherpas don't make good conversation), he had with him what he affectionatly called Rover (http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m190/Radio_10/robocar.gif). Rovor was just a robot drone that followed the gps tag attached to The Sultan's belt. It carried more ammo, food, tent, ect. It didn't go real fast and couldn't go everywhere he could, but it was programmed to keep driving untill it found the tag. So The Sultan can hike ahead all day, find a place to rest, and Rover will catch up to him an hour later.

The Sultan looked around. "Hi." he said akewardly.

The ground rumbled rythmicly.

"Greetings. Please, sit, wait, others should be arriiving soon. We leave when the sun reaches its Zenith. (Noon ICly, Thursday OOCly.)" The Sorcerer of Time said.

A window to the outside showed what that rumbling was, a 24 foot Vizzerdrix was hopping this way.

Normal Vizzerdrixes had Claws, and fangs, as this one did, but normally, they were only six feet tall.

A Gareen launched itself at the Vizzerdrix.

Gareens are noted both for being slightly more intelligent than common bricks, and for being excessivly Violent, and flying off the handle in a rage at anything and everything that moved. The Gareen, which this one had four arms, ripped the 24 foot terror to shreds, and proceeded to rip the shreds to shreds.

Gareens were all orangish in color, and had Gigantic muscles that looked more like scales. Their bodies were extrodinarily hard, and they were as tall as the average 6 ft human.

"So, Coffee, Tea. Carbonated beverage? Possibly more information?" offered the Sorceress of Healing.

"Ahh, carbonated beverage please, and please, any information you can spare." The Sultan said, moving to the chair. Rover followed him, or rather the GPS tag.

A small book materialised containing every Carbonated Beverage known, including all the drinks that feature a Carbonated Drink mixed into it, what kind, and if its alcoholic or not.

"Well, a good 80% of the Creatures on this continent, are the same kinds found here on Earth, Bears, Elk, Moose, Birds, but their many times their normal size, and are much stronger. So everything you know about Earth Animals still holds true, except some will have diffrent coloring than their supposed too. Those ones come from an ancient forest on Ri-an. But the remaining, well, I suppose we had better tell you now.

As I'm sure you've come to expect with us, we work with things Science cannot explain.

the Harder mor exotic creatures include:

Cockatrice: Lizard birds that can turn people to stone with their Gaze.

Griffions: Its both Lion and Eagle and flies. 'nuff said.

Vizzerdrix: Like a rabbit, only twice as big, and has Claws, Fangs, and a carnivourous apetite. Their also Pink for some odd unexpalined reason. They do however taste great, if you survive an encounter with them.

Drake: A subspecies of Dragon, the Drakes on this island are quite fierce, fortunatly, theirs very few of them.

Dinosaurs: T-Rex sill roams this Continent, as do several other Prevously thought extinct species of Dinosaur. If you catch it alive, you can keep it as a pet, and possibly personal guard, if you train it right.

The Dragon: His name is Garthox, and he's a red Fire breathing Dragon. He rules the flying Continent. if you catch him, alive, you win 15 billion dollars..

Theres still the common animals though. They's still pose a threat and a challenge."

"What if I kill Garthox, just hypothetically." The Sultan asked while browsing through the book.

Disappointed over the cancelled tournament, Tenarius had decided to amuse himself with this hunting game.
Buckling on four swords, he began to travel to the hunting grounds.

"What if I kill Garthox, just hypothetically." The Sultan asked while browsing through the book.

"Well, in the unlikly event that happens, he'll reincarnate in a year or so. He's a Dragon lord, so he's very hard to kill, unlike Bahamut, whose next to impossible to kill" The Fire sorcerer said.

The Time Sorcerer smiled.

"Laet, would you mind giving that fellow a hand? He'll have a rather difficult time arriving otherwise." he said.

"Not a problem." she said.

She teleported to Tenarius.

"I understand you wish to partcipate in the tournament." She said.

Tenarius smirked and glanced down at the strange markings on his palms.
"Sure, I'm in. And no one will stop me."

Tenarius smirked and glanced down at the strange markings on his palms.
"Sure, I'm in. And no one will stop me."

"Oh, I'm not here to stop you, I'm here to help you get to the Hunt." She said.

She took his hand, and they flew through the air, over the ocean. Then the Continent loomed in the air in the distance.They flew over it and into a Wooden hut at the leading edge of the Continent.

She released his hand. He could see The Sultan of Deserted Territories sitting flipping through a book ready for the hunt.

Bump for more Hunters! unless, NS doesn't have any.:( :D :mad:

Tenarius sat down and examined the other man.
Didn't look like much.
He sighed, and fell asleep. When would this thing begin?

Bump! The hunting begins thursday.

OOC: I'm assuming you came accross the bridge at the Empires club, because I've seen you there.

IC:

"Welcome, welcome. Hunting gets underway shortly. Until then, get comfortable."

The grandfather Clock struck 12:00. Everytime it chimed the Cabin slowly disappeared, until it was flat out gone.

"You may either stick together and watch each other's backs, or, seperate. Either way, A Sorcerer of Healing will acompany you, to ensure your continued good health. If you stick together, it will be Tiel, head of the Order. She is a very good. If you split up, then she will accompany one, and Marill, the Grand sorceress, who is also very good at healing, will accompany another. Niether will take part in the hunting, or guide you, or help you in any way, shape, or form, unless your life depends on it." Laet, the space sorceress said.

With a crack of thunder the Sorcerers were suddenly gone, leaving only the two mentioned.

"we will however, provide you with a map, and a compass. Also, a very sharp machete, to hack your way through thicker vegetation." Maril said. Tiel nodded.

The area was alive with noise. The Creatures were waiting, the continent was readying its deadliest traps. Yes, The Great Hunt, was on.

the king sets out from the forest on his black horse, armes with a lance and a longbow and his guard of 10 trackers and soldiers.

Marill goes with them.

The first thing they find, is easy enough, a gigantic twelve foot rabbit can be seen in the brush.

Tenarius drew his swords and set off alone
He honestly wished those stupid socerers would leave him alone, but oh well.

Tiel follows along.

The first Creature they find is a Cobra. It hissed at Tenarius. Although most King Cobras normally grew to be around 18.5 feet, this one was three times the size of a normal King Cobra.

Tiel sheilded herself, and only herself. The Sorcerers would not partcipate directly.

the king lowers his lance at the giant rabbit that he and marill found, marill on the other side of the clearing where the bunny is, draws his weapon.

Tenarius closed his eyes for a second, and then reopened them.
One of his eyes immeadiately turned completely red.
Snapping his fingers, Tenarius stood there and waited for the stinking beast to approach, which he knew would happen.

Marill shields herself. The bunny rabbit, not being an aggressive creature, sat there a moment, ignoring the king, as though he were some sort of an odd insect. Then the rabbit turned and hopped towards the king. Its trajectory would cause the king to be just barely outside of its right foot when it landed.

Tenarius closed his eyes for a second, and then reopened them.
One of his eyes immeadiately turned completely red.
Snapping his fingers, Tenarius stood there and waited for the stinking beast to approach, which he knew would happen.

The king Cobra flared its hood, and lunged at Tenarius.

"wach out!" the king shouted, seeing no one in its way, the bunny kept hopping and quickly dissapeared. "blast" the king said "he got away..."

"wach out!" the king shouted, seeing no one in its way, the bunny kept hopping and quickly dissapeared. "blast" the king said "he got away..."

"Well, there are more creatures on the island. There is no shortage of creatures to kill." Marill said, unsheilding herself.

OOC: Unless you actually put something about using your weapons on it, I won't RP them dying.

it was getting late and the party needed to find shelter, near dusk, they found a cave, while heading twards it, a cute little bunny hops out and nibbles the grass
since they needed food, the king sent one of the guards down to kill the bunny for dinner, when he was 6 feet away the bunny lunged into the air, sinking its teeth into the mans neck. after a few seconds of shock the king says to his men "attack! its! a! demon Bunny!" the king drops his lance, gets out his huge longsword, and joins the fray.

"No! its a VIZZERDRIX!" Marill shouted running over to heal the man.

Vizzerdrixes had claws and fangs, and were carnivorous. The ones on this continent stood 24 ft tall.

The Vizzerdrix swiped its huge claws at the King.

The king Cobra flared its hood, and lunged at Tenarius.

Leaping up in the air, Tenarius watched as the Cobra crashed on the ground.
Pulling a throwing knife out of his belt,Tenarius flung it down and watched as it entered the creature's belly.
Even as he began to come down, Tenarius pointed a finger at the beast, and watched as it erupted in flames.
OOC:I would figure you knew already, Ri-an but Tenarius has the same abilities that he had in the Arena thread.

the king now revived, jumps up grabs his sword, and dodges the clawsipe of the Vizzerdrix and drives his sword deep into the creatuers heart. "well" he said "at least we have food"

"good job, but, if it dies ion flames, how are you going to save its skin for the reward?" Tiel asked.
OOC: Yeah, I knew.

the king now revived, jumps up grabs his sword, and dodges the clawsipe of the Vizzerdrix and drives his sword deep into the creatuers heart. "well" he said "at least we have food"

"If you wish, i will have this creature prepared to take home with you, meaning the pelt tanned and cured for use, as possibly an exotic rug, and the claws and fangs, well, I'm sure you get the picture." Marill said.

OOC: Let me mark the time, to keep everyone at the same pace, you can request a creature if you like, but let me choose those too. Tomorrow, your going to encounter a myhtic creature.

"shure that would be nice" the king said, now if youll excuse me, i have to go check on my men"

Tenarius raised an eyebrow.
"Hmmm, oh dear. I guess I have to be more careful about my playing with fire."
It was bad new for Tenarius- most of his techniques revolved around fire to one degree or another. Well, he could still use his swords.

The good news was, some species were immune to fire, well, really that was bad news as well, but at least he would have an unburnt pelt.

Tiel smiled.

"The day wears on. Your course of action is your own. Though, if you seek the big prize, you should head for the center of the continent, provided Garthox hasn't moved, which I doubt, we gave him 100 million reasons to stay in one area, whic, really, he could cross the entirety of the continent in one night, twice. Such is his flying ability." She said, shortly before a Cockatrice burst out of the bush, looked at her, and turned her to stone.

The Cockatrice turned its gaze towards Tenarius.

Tenarius looked right back in his eyes.
"You really think your gaze is that powerful? It's nothing compared to my red eye.
At any rate, why don't you look into mine?"
The two continued to stare into each other.
Suddenly, unspeakable pain shot through the Cockatrice. It crumbled and began to howl in pain. Yet if anyone had passed by, they would have seen a strange bird simply screaming- for no one passing by could see what was happening in the Cokatrice's head.
For from the Cockatrice's eyes, the world had dissolved. He was stuck in a great pit of fire, endless fire that caused pain and suffering but could not kill. The agony was endless, and yet the Cockatrice did not know that it was simply an illusion.

Its eyes were swinging all about, turning all in its path to stone, trying to put out the flames. Tenarius could see a steady path of stuff being turned to stone, moving in an erratic pattern towards him. If he stayed, he too, would be stone.

OOC: The illusion only works as long as Tenarius is staring into an opponent's eyes. Moreover, however much the Cockatrice is moving in its mind, in reality, it's not moving.

Then Tenarius is turned to stone. Remember, everything a Cockatrice gazes upon, turns to stone. This doesn't mean he's dead, just that the two are deadlocked in a staring contest neither can win. Funny, if you think about it, the Cockatrice is trapped in your illusion, and Tenarius is trapped in stone. It seems I must break the deadlock, easily done with Tiel, unless you have some manner of breaking it icly yourself, but bear in mind, Tenarius is currently a soul trapped in a statue. Break the statue, Tenarius is dead.

(OOC: Sorry, I'm a little late.)

The Sultan took the map, compass, and machete offered and set out, hacking his way between clearings, his faithful robot trailing behind.

(OOC: Sorry, I'm a little late.)

The Sultan took the map, compass, and machete offered and set out, hacking his way between clearings, his faithful robot trailing behind.

Kael, The apprentice Sorceress of Healing materialised and followed along, since Tiel, and Marill were elsewhere. This was both good and bad, good, because she was well trained, and could take care of anything The Sultan might find here to harm him, bad, because she had a troubling tendancy to make mistakes, and there was a 5% chance her touch would outright kill him.

The first thing found, is a 40 ft grizzly. It stands on its hind paws. and roars at the sultan. Its voice is loud and carries to the other parties.

OOC: Don't worry, she's good to heal him.

OK, well I do have two ways of getting out, but I have to ask:
1. Does the transformatin of Tenarius turning to stone take a little time. If it takes longer than 2 seconds, than Tenarius has an easy way out. Other than that, there is another way, but Tenarius would prefer not to use it.

The transformation is quick, taking exactly two seconds, sometimes three. At least for things in his size category.

the next morning, the king sets off alone to hunt deer, after telling his men, he sets out.
he comes across a griffinsaiguer, much larger than the regular griffins, this is what the king had really wanted to hunt.
he had somehow brought along ten narrow, 12 foot long steel tipped lances which had been especially made for this creature.
getting one out, he gribbed it and like a javilin and threw it at the creature witch dodged and sprang into the air, quickly getting out 4 more, he threw them one after the other, all of the missing exept the last one, witc pieced its wing, right at the joint. since its wing no longer worked, it landed rather hard on the ground about 20 yards away. seeing its attacker, the griffin started to charge. getting out the rest of his lances all save one, he threw them the griifinsaiguer dodging each one. now it was only 20 feet away, the king quickly gets out his last lance, and keeps it with him, ppointed at the creature. the thing tried to dodge, almost succeding; the lance, instead of going straight through to the heart got impaled into the side of the animals chest, the ling quicklt took out his greatsword and severed the neck."what a great prize" he thought "and i slew it all by myself. then, it hit him, how was he going to carry it back, it being fourty feet long, and weighing 4 tons.

Marill pointed, and strained alittle with its weight, but, using levitation magick, she lifted it off the ground.

"You push it, I'll carry." she said, meaning she would keep it levitated while he simply pushed it.

"Don't worry about the weight, I'll carry the entire burden/ It should be light as a feather to you." Said she.

"Shit"
Tenarius made a series of weird motions when his hands as his body began to be turned into stone.
There was a flash and a puff of smoke.
The Cockatrice stopped as the illusion ended. However, no one had ever seen that and been in a fighting condition some time.
The smoke cleared revealed to show Tenarius turned completely into stone. The Cockatrice however didn't notice, lying on the ground.
It didn't even notice it when Tenarius walked out from the woods directly behind it, a sword in his hand.

The Cockatrice was stunned.

Tiel's statue cracked and crumbled, revealing her with tattered clothes.

"The head, severe the head, the neck is weakest." she said. as she cast a spell to recloth herself.

Tenarius didn't bother looking at the Cockatrice as he ran through the neck with his sword.
Ignoring the thudding sounds of a fallen creature, he strode to the statue of himself.
He put a hand on it, and then looked at it.
"Return."
The statue exploded.

"A cockatrice is a rare skin indeed, but the hunt lasts a week. Shall I have the skin prepared for you, so that you might save it? I can also have parts of it turned into a weapon that can turn enemies to stone. The meat, unfortunatly, is completly poisonus, and no amount of magick has ever been able to rid the meat of it, nor any amount of cooking. The skin however, I can have that turned into stone proof armor for you, and still retain having a rare kill." Tiel said.

getting one out, he gribbed it and like a javilin and threw it at the creature witch dodged and sprang into the air, quickly getting out 4 more, he threw them one after the other, all of the missing exept the last one, witc pieced its wing, right at the joint. since its wing no longer worked, it landed rather hard on the ground about 20 yards away. seeing its attacker, the griffin started to charge. getting out the rest of his lances all save one, he threw them the griifinsaiguer dodging each one. now it was only 20 feet away, the king quickly gets out his last lance, and keeps it with him, ppointed at the creature. the thing tried to dodge, almost succeding; the lance, instead of going straight through to the heart got impaled into the side of the animals chest, the ling quicklt took out his greatsword and severed the neck."what a great prize" he thought "and i slew it all by myself. then, it hit him, how was he going to carry it back, it being fourty feet long, and weighing 4 tons.

Marill pointed, and strained alittle with its weight, but, using levitation magick, she lifted it off the ground.

"You push it, I'll carry." she said, meaning she would keep it levitated while he simply pushed it.

"Don't worry about the weight, I'll carry the entire burden/ It should be light as a feather to you." Said she.

the king pushed, and soon had the creature moving at a decent pace
"whew!" he said after they had gotten back to camp "Knight Marshal William!" he shouted, intending to gloat to his commander "come see this kill!" when he didnt come out of the tent, the king went to investigate. A cry of "oh damn!!!" rose from the tent, for he had stumbled into a scene from a buchery: body barts were everywhere, looking down, he saw the head of Knight Marshal William.

The griffon dropped.

"Spirits from Beyond, come forth! this day i require thy service. Com forth and answer me truthfully,tell the tale of what has happened." Marill chanted. Light left the scene.

The spirits of the dead soldiers arose from beyond.

"Go to your king, and tell him honestly and truthfully, all that has happened here since we left. Then fly away from this place, and return no more, going back to your homeland, to say goodbye to your loved ones. Afterwards, depart forever to the land of the dead, and return no more." Marill commanded. Helpless to do anything else, the soldiers had to do as she commanded.

OOC: i did not intend for any murders to occur. Next time, at least warn me of your intentions. There is someone other than the sorcerers on the Continent, someone with a fondness for murder and destruction.

"A cockatrice is a rare skin indeed, but the hunt lasts a week. Shall I have the skin prepared for you, so that you might save it? I can also have parts of it turned into a weapon that can turn enemies to stone. The meat, unfortunatly, is completly poisonus, and no amount of magick has ever been able to rid the meat of it, nor any amount of cooking. The skin however, I can have that turned into stone proof armor for you, and still retain having a rare kill." Tiel said.

"I don't need any of it. Except the skin. Preserve it. I don't want the armor."
He wiped the sword of blood and put it back in the scabbard.

"I don't need any of it. Except the skin. Preserve it. I don't want the armor."
He wiped the sword of blood and put it back in the scabbard.

The skin vanished.

"All skins will be returned at the end of the hunt." Tiel said.

She looked at the map.

"You know, there is a fairly dese jungle region nearby, you might find things there to intrest you, or, we could go out to the plains and you could try to take down a giant elephant. The amount of Ivory alone would make you a very rich man indeed." Tiel said.

Tenarius raised his eyebrows.
"Is Ivory flammable? Otherwise, let's go to the jungle."

Tenarius raised his eyebrows.
"Is Ivory flammable? Otherwise, let's go to the jungle."

"No. either way, we go over that peak. Be careful a nest of Drakes is somewhere near that peak. It'll take a full day to get to either location." Tiel said.

"Good, let's set off to the plain."
All the same, Tenarius didn't like the idea of dealing with Drakes, so he walked back to the Cockatrice corpse.
Placing a hand on it, he muttered something under his breath.
There was a odd glow on his hand for a second, and Tenarius got back up.

Tiel wondered privatly where the second corpse came from, since the only cockatrice in the area he had already killed was already gone.

Either way, the area was awfully quiet. Every once in a while, Tenarius or Tiel would spoke dead animals, partoally eaten, or their bones and skulls scattered.

The mountain was not easy to climb, it wasn't hard, but it wasn't as easy as it would have been, had the continent not been flying. Night came, and camp had to be set up. after a meager fire to avoid attracting undue attention and a surprisingly nice meal cooked up by the sorceress, things were starting to wind down to a nice long sleep, when suddenly, a horrific screech filled the air. 5 objects were flying their way.

"Drakes." was all Tiel could say.

One breathed Fire, one called lightning, one shook the ground, one called the sea, and one brought forth a blizzard. They split, but one headed for them, the Ice Drake.

It shot a mammoth snowball at Tenarius.

Tenarius snapped his fingers and slammed his palms down onto the ground.
Instantly a wall of flame shot up, and the snowball impacted the wall, dissolving into nothing.
Immeadiately closing his normal eye, he calmly moved his finger around, waiting, waiting.....

The drake wheeled, and summoned a great Blizzard. The drake flew into the blizzard. It was White out conditions. The Drake picked up a Rock and sent it flying at Tenarius.

Kael, The apprentice Sorceress of Healing materialised and followed along, since Tiel, and Marill were elsewhere. This was both good and bad, good, because she was well trained, and could take care of anything The Sultan might find here to harm him, bad, because she had a troubling tendancy to make mistakes, and there was a 5% chance her touch would outright kill him.

The first thing found, is a 40 ft grizzly. It stands on its hind paws. and roars at the sultan. Its voice is loud and carries to the other parties.

OOC: Don't worry, she's good to heal him.

"Oh my," The Sultan said, "that is one large bear." Not giving the grizly any more time to think, he moved back a few steps, took a knee, and lowered his .50 caliber bolt-action rifle at the bears right eye. He fired and then quickly rolled behind a tree, just in case it survived; it was awefully big.

Its front right paw would come crashing down upon both the tree and the sultan.

Its front right paw would come crashing down upon both the tree and the sultan.

OOC: You make that sound like an ooc fact. Is it intentional, or did you just mean, "the bears right paw was about to fall on the tree and the Sultan?"

OOC: You make that sound like an ooc fact. Is it intentional, or did you just mean, "the bears right paw was about to fall on the tree and the Sultan?"

OOC:
I meant it ICly, as the next action. I mean, its a 40 ft bear. Normally, a bear would go around, but a big bear like that, I would think it would just crush the tree, or break it. maybe both.

Tenarius grunted.
The blizzard prevented him from seeing anything, but he could still sense everything going on through his red eye.
He knew where the Drake was and even where it was going to fly, just as he had known where that rock was coming from.
He pointed his finger into the sky and snapped his fingers.
10 feet directly of the Drake, a gigantic ball of flame erupted.
There was no way he could avoid flying out of it.

The drake screeched. It had used up all its power in creating the blizzard. It dropped the rock. Shron, the time sorcerer stepped back from the future and moved Tiel out of its path. Then he left again. Tiel sheilded herself. The drake dived at Tenarius, its claws wide outstretched.

Tenarius pulled out two swords and grinned.
|Flames shot out of his hand and wrapped themselves around the sword.
"Come and get me, you bastard."
Then Tenarius charged at the creature swooping down at him.

The Sultan saw the shadow envelope the tree and, without a backwards glance, pushed off the tree and flung himself as far from the falling creature as he could in the second he had, diving into the underbrush.

Tenarius pulled out two swords and grinned.

Then Tenarius charged at the creature swooping down at him.

One claw went for the lower body, the other went for the upper body.

The Sultan saw the shadow envelope the tree and, without a backwards glance, pushed off the tree and flung himself as far from the falling creature as he could in the second he had, diving into the underbrush.

The bears jaws followed him.

The swords moved too fast for the eye to see.
The Drake paused as Tenarius was now past the Drake.
The 6 huge slashes in its chest were now continuing to burn.
Tenarius looked back, put the swords, and snapped his fingers.

The Sultan rolled onto his back and, in a last desperate move, swung his rifle into the incoming jaws and fired. Whether the bear was already dead, had just died, or was still alive, he was about to break its head's fall. He braced himself.

The bear died, having many bullets lodged in its brain. Kael warped the sultan out of the heads path. A few convulsions later, and the Bear died.

"Congratulations on killing a 40 ft Grizzly Bear. Shall I have it skinned and prepared to take hoom with you. I'm sure you can think of a marvelous place to put its skin as a wall to wall Rug.' Kael said.

The swords moved too fast for the eye to see.
The Drake paused as Tenarius was now past the Drake.

Tenarius looked back, put the swords, and snapped his fingers.

The drake died. The others converged upon a point to avenge their fallen comrade, but then a terrifying roar split the sky. The Drakes scattered. High in the sky, Tenarius would See Garthox, the great Red Dragon, and the highest prize on the continent, but would be unable to make out details.

Tenarius grunted, and then stabbed himself in his right hand.
Wiping his left hand with his blood, he pulled up his right sleeve, and wiped the blood upon it.
In the meantime, the right hand began healing.
Tenarius looked up into the sky.
"I'm ready, you fool."

Tenarius grunted, and then stabbed himself in his right hand.
Wiping his left hand with his blood, he pulled up his right sleeve, and wiped the blood upon it.
In the meantime, the right hand began healing.
Tenarius looked up into the sky.
"I'm ready, you fool."

Garthox was long gone by that point.

Tiel calmly walked over, and healed the wound.

"You want, him, you have to find his cave, in the center of the continent."

Tenarius contemplated.
"Do you get anything for killing him? At any rate, let's just push on to the elephants."
He reached intp one of his pockets and took a long draught from a flask.

Tenarius contemplated.
"Do you get anything for killing him? At any rate, let's just push on to the elephants."
He reached intp one of his pockets and took a long draught from a flask.

"Yes, you get 15 billion. five for the rarest kill, even if you take him alive, and ten for getting him at all." she said.

later the next day...

looking down on a vast stretch of plain, Tenarius could see a herd of 70 ft elephants wandering around. The males had great tusks that could bring a man a few million dollars.

'If the tusks are fireproof like they say you are, well, this leaves one option."
Tenarius snapped his fingers and paused in deep meditation.
He still had that seal open, but he didn't want to use it yet.
Rather, he took the flames, and molded it into a huge ball."
"Now"
Several blasts of fire shot out from his hand, all directed at the elephants.

Several blasts of fire shot out from his hand, all directed at the elephants.

The Elephants, not knowing what to do, started to run away. one, a big mad bull elephant looked around for the source. spotting Tenarius a little ways up the hill, he trumpets his charge. Tiel teleports away, to let Tenarius have a clear working space.

Tenarius laughed softly
"Eat fire, beast."
He hurled a blast of flame directly at the brute.

Tenarius laughed softly
"Eat fire, beast."
He hurled a blast of flame directly at the brute.

The bull elephant trumpets and continues charging. Its forehead is burned somewhat. It lowers its tusks straight at Tenarius. Even if Tenarius succeeeds in killing the elephant its momentum will still continue its chatge carrying the tusks into Tenarius's chest.

Tenarius grunted and put his fingers together.
There was a explosion of smoke for a second, and no one could see what was going on.
There was a sharp yell as it appeared the elephant had gotten Tenarius.

The bear died, having many bullets lodged in its brain. Kael warped the sultan out of the heads path. A few convulsions later, and the Bear died.

"Congratulations on killing a 40 ft Grizzly Bear. Shall I have it skinned and prepared to take hoom with you. I'm sure you can think of a marvelous place to put its skin as a wall to wall Rug.' Kael said.

"Thanks, and sure, get it ready." The Sultan responded. He then brushed himself off, slid a new bullet into the chamber, and set off, hacking at the occasional plant that was in his path. It was starting to feel like this would be a good hunt. He consulted his map and pushed twoards the center of the continent.

Tenarius grunted and put his fingers together.

The Elephant stopped, then turned and walked away, satisified.

Kael sent the hide back to Ri-an to be prepared.

The Sultan would notice a cave in a nearby rock leading to the interior of the continent. Cou;d it have been the bear's cave, or was it something else.

The Sultan saw the cave and thought about it for a moment. He walked back to rover and grabbed a lantern. He started twoards the cave, but then stopped. He turned to Kael and sadi, "This is all I got," he motioned twoards the lantern, "got anything better?"

Kael pulled a light crystal out of her pocket. It was made by solidifying Light itself into a crystal. Even out side it was bright enough to illuminate the cave.

"A crystal this size has a lifespan of three days." She said.

The Elephant stopped, then turned and walked away, satisified.
Tenarius watched on the hillside as the elephant walked away from the corpse.
The clone had worked. Now that the elephant was no longer focused on him, he could take the time to unleash it.
Slapping his blood on the strange embelm on his right arm, he grunted in pain from the reaction.
Immeadiately, he charged the elephant, as black flames began to cover him...

The Elephant had no clue Tenarius was coming.

Tenarius stopped abruptly as he observed the lumbering elephant.
The black fire began to leave his right arm and slowly began to cover his entire body.
"Now take this, you son of a bitch!"
The black fire blasted out almost as of its own will.
This was no ordinary fire, this was Hellfire. And this thing could burn its way cleanly through titanium with no effort.
The elephant had no chance.

Due to the strength of the fire, the entire complete elephant melted, Ivory and all. There was no more Elephant, that Elephant was now just a memory.

"Wow! that's strong fire," Tiel said nearby while materialising back in. Did you want to head towards the center and try to find Garthox?" she asked.

"No. I'll need that to fight him, and I can't use it again for a while. Is there anywhere else?"

"No. I'll need that to fight him, and I can't use it again for a while. Is there anywhere else?"

Goodness! how long between uses? I mean, its at least a week to the center. However there are some ruins nearby where the dinosaurs roam." Tiel said.

"It's not how long it takes for it to recharge. In order for me being able to use it again, I have to kill something.
I think dinosaurs might be a little risky, but maybe we can get something small. After that, that dragon."

the king left the tent, a look of anger on his face "it was that little demon bunny, but william told me that that is not its true form, in reality it is a demon from the seventh ring of hell. i will fech my sacred lance, convengeance, that was mad in the pits of fire in the center of another world, forged by ashten-shugar and endowed with ancient magic. i will also call all the magicians and mages in my kingdom, for this is an ancient and evil magic, that threatens the universe where we stage our existence.

"It's not how long it takes for it to recharge. In order for me being able to use it again, I have to kill something.

"There's a rabbit over there." Tiel said nodding to a 12 foot rabbit munching on a carrot that had been provided for it.

Kael pulled a light crystal out of her pocket. It was made by solidifying Light itself into a crystal. Even out side it was bright enough to illuminate the cave.

"A crystal this size has a lifespan of three days." She said.

"Three days?" The Sultan repeated, "That should work." And with that he plunged into the cave rifle at the ready. He also grabbed a sidearm out of rover, incase he became engaged in close combat. Rovers terrain-following lasers worked perfectly in the dark, though the GPS was having trouble picking up the tag throught the cave. The Sultan adjusted the tag to face backwards and rover followed behind him, keeping a line of sight with the tag.

"And of all places it came here. Ugh, remind me to have this place sealed against Evil later. Meanwhile, let me call back up of my own." she said.

A woman rose out of the ground.

"Lady Ri-an, the spirit of our world where this continent came from. Lady, this is the King of the Kingdom of the Isles." Marill said as an introduction.

OOC: I'll let you get this demon, but no more Thread Hijacking, or I'll throw you out. This was intended to be a hunt of creatures, some magickal, not Demons.

"Three days?" The Sultan repeated, "That should work." And with that he plunged into the cave rifle at the ready. He also grabbed a sidearm out of rover, incase he became engaged in close combat. Rovers terrain-following lasers worked perfectly in the dark, though the GPS was having trouble picking up the tag throught the cave. The Sultan adjusted the tag to face backwards and rover followed behind him, keeping a line of sight with the tag.

The cave went down and opened into a cavren. A bat the size of a human flew around. It mustook the Sultan for an insect, and swooped down upon him, fangs bared, to eat him.

"There's a rabbit over there." Tiel said nodding to a 12 foot rabbit munching on a carrot that had been provided for it.

Tenarius raised a eyebrow and drew a sword.
"I could easily kill it with fire, but I'm a bit hungry."
He walked up to the rabbit, two swords in his hand.

Rabbits being peaceful creatures Generally didn't attack. This one was no exception. It kept munching its carrot.

Tenarius stopped short 10 meters of the rabbit and looked at it.
He snapped his fingers, and watched as flames ran down the two swords.
He charged, jumped in the air, and prepared to hit home.

The rabbit squealed and died, after going through convulsions.

"Good, that was easy."
Tenarius looked at the rabbit and snapped his fingers.
10 minutes later, he sat on a hilltop, munching pieces of half-cooked rabbit. The blood helped give him energy.

"good rabbit." Tiel said between pieces of Rabbit.

Tenarius looked up.
"After this, I'm going after the dragon."

Tenarius looked up.
"After this, I'm going after the dragon."

"That's going to take a few days to get to, and then even still you have to traverse his lair." Tiel said.

*three day kick asssness of demon*

"That's going to take a few days to get to, and then even still you have to traverse his lair." Tiel said.

"Heh. Well, I've gotta do it. Let's get going."

OOC: I've gotta give everyone a fair chance to get at Garthox, there's only one of him. So, I have to ask what the general consensus is. Shall I fast forward everyone to Garthox? or should I take Demon on a little sidequest for a few days and see where everyone's at?

The cave went down and opened into a cavren. A bat the size of a human flew around. It mustook the Sultan for an insect, and swooped down upon him, fangs bared, to eat him.

The Sultan, startled, swung his pistol up at the bat just as it hit him, but didn't have time to fire. The pistol was knocked to the ground, and The Sultan fell back, cutting his forearm on the bats fangs.

OOC: Depends, how long do you expect it to take to get out of this cave?

The Sultan, startled, swung his pistol up at the bat just as it hit him, but didn't have time to fire. The pistol was knocked to the ground, and The Sultan fell back, cutting his forearm on the bats fangs.

OOC: Depends, how long do you expect it to take to get out of this cave?

The bat went for the jugular.

OOC: Actually, truth be told, this Cave leads to a massive underground network of caves, you could very well end up coming in the back way, right as Tenarius comes in the front way, assuring a battle, not only between you two for the prize, but also with Garthox.

The Sultan sent out a hard backhand with his good arm, striking the bat on the side of the head.

OOC: Sounds good.

The bat turned to bite his hand.

Meanwhile, Kael walked over and The sultan, with a non-touching spell.

Further down the cave...

A vizzerdrix had gotten lost in the cave.

It wandered over to an object that had caught its intrest, Suddenly, it went flying back, and was dead. Its entire Skeleton shattered, and its organs flattend, by a single punch.

The object that had caught its intrest, was a giant red robot, known to Ri-ans as a Gear. A gear was a giant fighting robot some used as a pasttime, but that wasn't what killed the Vizzerdrix, what was, was the man. The man had red hair, and red eyes. He wore dark leather, and red energy curled off his body.

"heh, what weak creatures they have here." The man said, his voice, only a whisper, but heard as though it was spoken normally. There was an aura of fear coming off him, not that he was afraid, but that he was something to be afraid of.

"Think I'll go dragon hunting. Weltel, vanish." The man said.

The robiot vanished, gone to another place. The man cooked some of the vizzerdrix on the fire, and left the rest, a bloody mutalated mess. Then the man turned, and walked away. The fire, slowly died.

Who was this man?

Why was he here?

would he interfere? only time would tell.

The Sultan pulled his leg up to his chest, and kicked the bat away. In the seconds he gained himself he scrambled towards his pistol and swung it twoards the bat, he shot twice, aiming at its head.

OOC: So what am I doing now?

The Sultan pulled his leg up to his chest, and kicked the bat away. In the seconds he gained himself he scrambled towards his pistol and swung it twoards the bat, he shot twice, aiming at its head.

The bat dropped dead.

OOC: So what am I doing now?

OOC: Your encountering the mysterious man.

Tenarious and Tiel were traveling along, when Tiel stopped.

"Somethings wrong here. Someone, or something, is on this continent that is not supposed to be." She said, the fear obvious in her voice. Tenarius could feel it tooi, something was causing a supernatural feeling of fear in him.

The air, normaly filled with the sounds of creatures, was silent. Dead silent.

The rasping sound of a sword being drawn could be heard.
Tenarius was puzzled. Despite the fact that it was decidedly suspicious, his eye detected nothing.

Tenarius was puzzled. Despite the fact that it was decidedly suspicious, his eye detected nothing.

A section of ground gave way.

The man with red energy curling off him jumped out, and landed in a kneeling position before them.

"Oh Gods and Goddesses, its him, its, its," she stuttered.

The man stood up, and smiled.

"Its the Demon of Elru, aka, Id. Kael, apprentice sorcerer. Its been such a painfully long time." He said. He looked at Tenarius.

"You. What's your Id?" Id asked.

Id spoke no louder than a whisper, yet was clearly heard by both parties.

The supernatural feeling of fear, it was being caused by him.

Id had power, and plenty of it. His power was his immense power, and the power to absorb Magick and use it to make himself stornger. Its been theorised that he could have other abilities, but those were never proven, by anyone living at least.

Tenarius grinned silently. So this was that Id. He had heard something about it in the Arena, but to deal with it here.......
This could be fun, he thought as he snapped his fingers.
OOC: One thing I might to inform you. Tenarius's ability to play with fire is not magic.

OOC: If its psionic based fire, it still won't do much damage, because Id's mind is virtually non-existent.

IC:
"Heh, are you strong?" Id asked.

He disappeared, reappeared behind Tiel, and punched her with much force. She sailed through the air and landed flat against a rock a mile away.

Id walked slowly towards Tenarius. the enrgy curled around Tenarius.

"Your not strong. " Id said.

He suddenly kneeled as memories overtook him.

Your not strong. You'll never destroy me. Your not worthy to be my son.

These words were shouted at a scared red headed little boy fleeing a gigantic monsterous shadow, pursuing the boy down a dark hallway.

Leave me alone! I want to go see Mother!

Do you really think your mother wants a weakling like you? You don't deserve to be loved, to have a normal life, with a mother and father who love and cherish you. Your to weak to deserve such things.


Id stood.

"I don't know what God or Goddess took pity and sheltered you this day, but you had best offer them thanks. Next time I see you, I'm going to destroy you." Id whispered angry and upset, at the memories for occuring, at the non-existent deity that brought them back, and at Tenarius for existing.

He disappeared.

Tenarius smiled as he put the sword back in its case.
"Moving on, he does. Shall we proceed to the dragon?""

Tenarius smiled as he put the sword back in its case.
"Moving on, he does. Shall we proceed to the dragon?""

Tiel lay in a miserable crumpled heap, and was near death. She couldn't have answered him, even if she wanted to.

Tenarius sighed as he looked at her body.
How annoying. While he could heal himself, there wasn't anything he could do for her. To tell the truth, if it wasn't for the fact that she knew where the dragon was, he would have just left her.
He sat down right next to her, pulled out a hunk of bloody rabbit meat, and started eating.

Tenarius sighed as he looked at her body.

He sat down right next to her, pulled out a hunk of bloody rabbit meat, and started eating.

A machine in her pocket monitering her vitals activated. A signal was sent out. A swarm of healing sorcerers appeared out of nowhere and took her away.

A woman that was abviously not mortal stayed behind.

Her hair was a waterfall, and it cascaded down her body, and watered the grass below Her eyes were beautiful and green, and one could easily get lost in them. her slender body was hidden by clouds, and its unclear how she moved, because not once did her feet our legs ever move as though she walked, yet still, she came to him.

"Poor Tiel." she said. "Sorcerers really are physicly weak. But still, for you to just sit here, instead of progressing towards your goal of the dragon, that would be most wrong indeed. The sorcerers accompanied, only to ensure your health stayed relitivly intact. I shall follow the same suit. Come, let us then make haste towards the center, to Nyleshy Volcano, where the fearsome beast of fire has made his lair. So Id has returned. I forsee, I fear, dark times are ahead." The woman said.

Tenarius sighed and slipped the chnk of rabbit into a pocket.
"Another one of you guys? Allright, let's get going.
And that guy's Id? So what's he capable of?"

Tenarius sighed and slipped the chnk of rabbit into a pocket.
"Another one of you guys? Allright, let's get going.
And that guy's Id? So what's he capable of?"

"I am not "one of those guys", I am the mother of this continent, and indeed the very world from which it came. Without me, "they" never would have existed, nor would the unusual strains of creatures on this continent. I am the Worldspirit, known as Lady Ri-an, and I am far stronger than the entirety of all my sorcerers put together.

As for Id, come, prepare yourself, for the sands of time shall flow backwards, and I shall let you witness with your own eyes what Id is capable of." Lady Ri-an said.

"|OK, sure. I'd like to know. He does seem pretty scary."

"|OK, sure. I'd like to know. He does seem pretty scary."

Lady Ri-an raised her hand. Sand swirled around them both, and clouded Tenarius's vision, and turned into a vast fogbank of limitless size. Tenarius was in every second, every moment of time at once. A section of fog cleared away, like a window.

It let one gaze down upon a great city. It was morning, and it was peaceful, quite. Birds were singing, and the city was just winding up for the day.

"Behold, the capitol of my world, Elru. Now, look to the far left of the city." Lady Ri-an said.

A spark of light appeared. It zoomed towards the city, and as it got closer, tenarius could see, it was a gigantic red robot. The fog caused all action to stop. The fog caused the robot to become clear. Tenarius could see Id, sitting in the cockpit.

The Gear resumed its normal state of visability.

"We called them gears. They were in experiment in war. This, this was before the Aquamarinians joined our nation. He stole this one, a top experimental model. He took the files with it as well, and destroyed all the copies." Lady Ri-an said.

The action resumed.

The Red Gear flew into the city. As it passed buildings, they exploded. The gear flew through the city, and out to the other side.

The gear landed in a buig city square, close to the center, and Id jumped out.

The military, though surprised by this attack, was still prepared for surprise attacks, even from within. 200,000 soldiers using a wide assortment of energy weapons, and energy based tanks far beyond the Abrams Emptied out onto the street within seconds.

They didn't even give warning, they opened fire. yet still, it didn't matter, Id used the red energy curling off his bodyn to reflect the energy weapons back at the shooters, effectivly eliminating half of them.

The tanks geared up and shot their stronger lasers at him. He dodged them, leaping into the air.

He landed on one, and ripped the lid off as effortly as one might pluck a flower. He hurled it at another tank, and it blew up. Id leaped into the tank.

Sounds of shouting and the firing of weapons came from within. Body parts came flying out, and then Id ripped the tank apart. He rushed another, and ceased it as the retreat was soundwed, he through it at the largest group of Tanks, starting a chain reaction that ended up destroying the entire northren part of the city. The last Tank bravely tried to run Id over, but Id gave it a solid punch, and it stopped, its engine destryed. Its occupants played dead, and eventually lived to see another day.

The rest of the troops had retreated, as Lady Ri-an herself, from that point in time, stepped in to fight Id one on one, and she managed to keep him in that one area.

Time fogged back over.

"Come. That day is not yet finished. The events of that day lasted from sunrise, to well after sun down. Walk with me, let us advance to the next battle of that day. I personally battled Id many times that day, and came as close to death as I ever came. That battle you shall see too, later." Lady Id said. She walked, tears standing in her eyes, at the memories of the deaths of so many innocent people.

"remember, he has no regard for life, not even his own. If you ever fight him, beware of where you fight, for he will use anyone, and anything as wepons or shields if he has to, just to accomplish his goal." She warned.

"Well then he sounds just like me."
Tenarius grinned
"But I understand. Even though what he did would be something I could also accomplish, I would say fighting him would be difficult.
It doesn't matter. I'm going after that damn dragon, and I say we get him now."

"Well then he sounds just like me."
Tenarius grinned
"But I understand. Even though what he did would be something I could also accomplish, I would say fighting him would be difficult.
It doesn't matter. I'm going after that damn dragon, and I say we get him now."

"You have powers beyond what most people can do, so does he. If you two battle on this continent, well, I'm glad there are no innocents on this land. The context of what I said, I meant that he'll harm innocent bystanders simply because they are there. He chased down half the people in the city just to kill them. I hope you are not as him, and derive joy from the pain and suffering fron the weak and innocent." Lady Ri-an said clearly upset at that thought.

"Now, wait a moment in silent reflection, while I find the resonent point from which we entered." she said.

She found it, but one of those mysterious and rare accidents in time occured, and the very creature Tenarius sought, was now two creatures. One woke up in a great network of caves. The other was at his nest.

Lady Ri-an brought them out of the spell. Tenarius found they had moved a great distance, for he stood at the entrance to a great cave. bones were scattered about. Some skeletons had armor on them. It was very warm.
All the classic signs of a red dragon cave. A sign nearby read:

Welcome to level 12, the dragon cave. Good luck!

Lady Ri-an chuckled.

"those sorcerers have such a sense of humor." she said.

Tenarius stopped abruptly, and closed his eyes.
Drawing a sword, he strode into the chamber.
"I'll finish this quickly."

The cave lead down and around, to a great chamber of lava, which was the central chamber. The sky above the volcano looked whte, because the mountain tip was passing through a cloud.

Garthox had just woken up and gotten a good stretch in when Tenarius made it to the cave.

"Oh good. How nice of them to send breakfast to me this morning. I feel like roasting. Would you prefer dipped in lava, or burnt to a crisp with my fire. And even still, do you wish to die quickly and painlessly, or perhaps slow roasted. Either way do take those clothes off, they do hamper the eating. Last person's shirt is still stuck between my teeth." Garhtox the dragon offered, cracking his great sinewy neck in four or five diffrent places at once.

The Sultan got up and kicked the bat carcass away. Gathering his things he truned to the sorcerer and said, "Shall we?" and headed deeper into the cave.

Kael nodded. The tunnel lead on.

Much deeper in the tunnel...

The other Garthox awakened. It wandered into the cave network...

Back with the sultan...

The cave twisted and turned and convulsed like a dying snake. In a large cavern, The Sultan encountered a live snakle that was in very good health.
It was a Diamond back Rattlesnake. Its rattle, reflected off the walls, was deafening. Credit was due on its part, it was giving fair warning of its presence.

Tenaris had closed his eyes when the dragon was talking. Now he opened and looked him in the eyes.
Immeadiately the same illusion that had hit the Cockatrice hit Garthox.

Immeadiately the same illusion that had hit the Cockatrice hit Garthox.

Garthox smiled. dragon minds were strong indeed, and not suseptable to illusions, thus, Tenarius's Illusion failed. Gathox walked over to Tenarius.

"Ohh, a fighter. Goody. I hate it when they cower in despair." Garthox said. He spat a regular fireball at Tenarius.

Kael nodded. The tunnel lead on.

The noise hurt The Sultans ears as he took a few steps back. Positioning himself next to a bend in the cave, he launched a frag grenade into the midsts of the snakes coils. Then stepped behind around the bend for cover.

The rattler died.

"Well, that's one way to kill a snake." kael said.

Tenarius was stunned. NO ONE had ever gotten out of the illusion, no matter how powereful their heads were.
"This is going to be tougher than I thought."
Tenarius's eye told him of the fireball, and he jumped out of the way.
He snapped his fingers, and pointed him at Garthox.
Immeadiately, a coccon of fire surrounded the dragon.

The rattler died.

"Well, that's one way to kill a snake." kael said.

And without missing a beat, The Sultan said "Yeah, shrapnell will do that." and sarted to menuver his way past the snake.

Immeadiately, a coccon of fire surrounded the dragon.

"ohh, that feels good. Lets make it hotter." Gathox said. The Flames burned white with the power of Holy Fire, better known to magekind as Fieros. It burned far hotter than hellfire, and destroyed the wicked. The Fieros spread out towards Tenarius.

OOC: Red Dragons are fire based creatures. You gotta think outside the box for this one.

And without missing a beat, The Sultan said "Yeah, shrapnell will do that." and sarted to menuver his way past the snake.

The Sultan was presented with three options.

Left to a green cave, right to a blue cave, or downwards to an orange cave.

There really was no other description for them. They were just three diffrent caves with those color crystals.

Tenarius made another series of hand gestures, but it seemed too late as the flames hit him.
There was a large flash of smoke and fire, and it cleared to reveal......
.......
.......
a melted rock.
Tenarius immeadiately got out and looked at the dragon, before spreading his arms.
Immeadiately, air left the dragon's throat. He couldn't breathe at all.
OOC: I guess I better explain. Tenarius doesn't actually create fire.
What Tenarius does isn't making fire. It's the ability to manipulate oxygen atoms.
When he snaps his fingers, he creates a very small spark, and he directs oxygen molecules toward the spark, creating a huge flame.
When Tenarius waves his hands, he ordered oxygen molecules to leave Garthox. It's a very effective, but a very risky technique, for if he uses it too well, he can't breathe either. Moreover, he can't use flames where he's removed oxygen molecules.
As for hellfire, that is magic, as well as the illusion, Tenarius's eye, and Tenarius's last attack (he has one more fire-based attack you haven't seen yet)

Tenarius may not have been magick, Garthox stuck out his toungue and leaped in the lava. He used his powers tyo become one with the lava. He re-emerged as a red Dragon.

Garthox burned.

"So, you wish to outright kill me. a hunter. heh, I'll never submit to your will, your not strong enough to make me.

Garthox took flight, and circled up to the Lavadome of the volcano.

Garthox gathered much energy together, and fired an Atomic Fireball at Tenarius.

OOC: Removing the wind from his lungs, I, actually didn't think about air defenses, I admit. Since air is what Tenarius actually controls, as well as strong illusions, well, I guess this fight is less even then I thought.

Garthox is a fire creature. Fire heals him, makes him stronger, that was the whole point behind a fire Dragon, though I didn't know you were coming when I put him in.

An Atomic Fireball is all the fun of an atomic blast, without all the downers of Radiation. What I mean is, its going to explode and create a mushroom cloud the size of the average human. Its going to spread out for 20 or 30 feet. But that's it, besides its extreme strength. If he successfully hits you, and you survive, you'll be blessed with a temporary Ice enchantment on your weapons.

This is because Garthox agreed not to use his Atomic fireballs, because just a few of them will take out the central core of the continent, and it'll crash.

Lady Ri-an does the enchanting.

"Shit"
That's all Tenarius had time to say beofre the blast vaporized him.
There was huge amount of smoke nad when it cleared nothing remained. Tenarius had been utterly destroyed.
Garthox roared and then stopped in mid-roar in utter shock.
Muscle built on bone, fat built on muscle, nerves built on fat, skin built on them all.
Slowly, but surely, Tenarius rebuilt himself. Except one noticed that his eyes seem a bit crazed now...

Lady Ri-an stepped in.

"Garthox, is grounded. We did not let you lair here, so you could destroy our continent in a moment of anger. Only to hunt, and provide fair competition to the hunters, with the promise of Reincarnation." Lady Ri-an said.

She turned to Tenarius, and removed from him, all his wounds and injuries, and took them upon herself. Then she enchanted his weapons with Ice magick.

"Use them well for this battle, its his weakness." she said.

Tenarius responded by laughing softly........
Taking the sword, he strode toward the dragon.
One couldn't but observe that both of his eyes had turned completely black.

Garthox had a better reach then Tenarius.

So, he slashed with both his claws, and fired off three fire balls at Tenarius.

Two ice swords went into each of the dragon's hands as Tenarius continued to stride forward.
The fireballs went toward him,looking like they would hit.
Tenarius raised his hand, and a wall of flame rose up, ready to stop the flames.
His eyes were now completely black, and if one looked into them........

Garthox unhinged his mouth, and opened it as wide as he could, and lunged for Tenarius, to swallow him whole.

The Sultan was presented with three options.

Left to a green cave, right to a blue cave, or downwards to an orange cave.

There really was no other description for them. They were just three diffrent caves with those color crystals.

"Blue don't fail me now" The Sultan said heading to the right.

Blue turned to white, and the cave grew cold.

The sultan came face to face with a legend, a rumor.

Yes, that's right, he found The Abominable Snowman.

It was big, and its fur was greyish white. It had great fangs, and its eyes glowed yellow. It had a very, very big club.

It roared, The Sultan invaded its territory.

It banged its club on the ground. Sharp crystals fell towards The Sultan.

Tenarius simply raised his hand, and Garthox crashed to the ground.
It was like strong invisible hands had pinned him down. Garthox couldn't move at all.

Garthox thrashed around. then, eventually, gave up.

He submitted to Tenarius. Tenarius won the fight, and gained his own pet red dragon. The Ice enchantment vanished.

OOC if i know i can get one of those i would join will that life
keep up the work

Tenarius grunted. If he had pushed a little harder, the dragon would have been crushed. As it was, he now had some annoying pet.
Aty any rate, the tournament, so it was time to go.

Tenarius grunted. If he had pushed a little harder, the dragon would have been crushed. As it was, he now had some annoying pet.
Aty any rate, the tournament, so it was time to go.

The young red Dragon awaited Tenarius outside. Lady Ri-an handed Tenarius a check for 15 Billion Dollars.

Inside, Garthox died of old age.

OOC: You name the dragon, and decide its personality. A lot of people would KILL to have their own pet Dragon. Yours has just hatched, but that's alright, it'll learn what it needs to, on its own. Having raised it from birth, your pet is 100% loyal to you. When it gets bigger, it can fly you around. It will hunt for itself, and if you command it too, it will hunt for you too.
It will speak its native Draconic, and learn the languages Tenarius knows.
Having a pet Red Dragon is still a big responsibility though, but unlike normal pets, you can hold a conversation with yours.

Due to two Garthox's though, DT can still get 15 billion in a similar manner. Provided The Yeti doesn't kill him. You still get credit for being the first winner though.

Consider the Red Dragon, the one being Tenarius can absolutly trust. Its similar in nature even.

Tenarius looked at it. and selected the Red Dragon
"I'll call it Herennius" (OOC: The First Emperor, and considered the greatest)
"So is that it? Or is there anything left to fight?"

Tenarius looked at it. and selected the Red Dragon

"So is that it? Or is there anything left to fight?"

"That's the largest prize to be had. Now, I know Laet brought you here, so where shall I place you, off the Continent?" Lady Ri-an asked.

"I guess."
Inwardly, Tenarius felt slightly disappointed. He had come here to see if there was anything worthy for him to fight.
True, he had been forced to regenerate himself some, and he had been even forced to use his full Regeneration Technique, but he had never faced a enemy worthy of Amateratsu.
Exceot for that creature, Id,.....
"Someday, I'll defeat him. After all, if I can destroy demons, then truly nothing can stop me."
OOC: I'll say this about Tenarius's Amateratsu technique. Amateratsu is the Japanese sun goddess

OOC: Oh yes, forgot about him.

IC: Lady Ri-an paused.

"Well, take a night to think it over." She said.
She wrapped her arms around him. He found himself in a lavish room, equipped with a nice soft bed, and a Maid. A nice hot Shower was in the next room if he felt like taking advantage of it.

OOC: Roll with it, fall asleep. I'll use a real Demon, Id's Father, The Shadowlord...

Tenarius took a quick shower, and quitely sat on the floor.
He despised beds like that. They were too soft, too comforting. Rather, he simply fell asleep on the floor, with his red eye open.

He despised beds like that. They were too soft, too comforting. Rather, he simply fell asleep on the floor, with his red eye open.

Tenarius would fall into a deep, deep slumber. all light faded, and the room changed. He was on Stone Tile. The room was big, and empty.

Light was being suppressed.

Something was in the room. That was all Tenarius would be able to sense, an unfriendly Something. It spoke, and its voice was haunting.

It came from one source, all around Tenarius, and yet it came from an uncountable Multitude of Sources, from everywhere.

"So. you are the one he encountered. You are, intresting, and a boastful upstart unaware of real power. The one with red Energy, The Demon of Elru, is not a real Demon, not yet. He's only half Dark God. I, I went beyond. I am Darkness made Real. I am power. I am The Shadowlord, and for consorting with the Worldspirit Ri-an and her children, you shall perish." Shadowlord said.

A dagger came flying from above Tenarius.

His red Eye would register that the Darkness itself WAS the enemy, and it was all around Tenarius.

OOC: So lets give your red Eye a Real Test. It is Impossible for light and the Shadowlord to exist in the same area at once, yet he is not weak against Light. Tenarius is then effectivly Blind, except for his Red Eye. Unless he can see in absolute darkness, as well as Broad Daylight. And The Darkness IS the Enemy. There is a beast contained within the Darkness. Its shape is horrid and is the very stuff of Nightmares. Shadowlord is one of my Strongest Characters, Id will eventually surpass him.

Tenarius effectively put his fingers as it neared his face.
A small trickle of blood ran down his fingers, and it slowed as the wound healed.
OOC: In total darkness, Tenarius can't see like a normal human can. However, his eye is telling him where everything is.

A Tenticle whipped out of the Darkness from behind Tenarius, to lash him in the back.

Tenarius leapt up in the air and snapped his fingers.
Flames shot out from evry direction, incinerating all.

Tenarius leapt up in the air and snapped his fingers.
Flames shot out from evry direction, incinerating all.

The Flames, the fire itself would shoot out, and it would burn the shadowlord, yes. But, Tenarius would never see the light from the fire.

In response, The entire room, which was a very big room indeed, flooded with water, from bottom to top. Shadowlord would simply drown Tenarius.

||OOC: Does Shadowlord have a physical form?
Tenarius, oddly enough, did nothing as he waited for the room to fill.
Except one noticed that he was grinning again.

||OOC: Does Shadowlord have a physical form?
Tenarius, oddly enough, did nothing as he waited for the room to fill.
Except one noticed that he was grinning again.

OOC: yes, as I said, it is nightmarish. Remember your nightmares, your worst fears, or Tenarius's. What is it he fears most? when the darkness is taken away, and Shadow's true form is revealed, that's what it is. The Physical Embodiment of Fear.

When the darkness fills the room, Shadowlord has no form, and really, is nothing more than a concept. We're all afraid of the unknown, and when the darkness is present, that's what he is. The unknown faceless fear present in every human being.

And, uhh, the flood was instant, no waiting times.

Two more attacks, and I'll take away the darkness.

The replacement exploded in puff of smoke as Tenarius laughed in the water.
He stabbed himself in his left hand and once again smeared blood on the seal.
The hellfire evaporated the water instantly.

" I live in Hellfire. What, were you trying to hurt me or something with my own power? HA! and HA again!" Shadowlord said.

Shadowlord banished the Hellfire.

The Darkness vanished, the Shadowlord vanished. Tenarius was trapped, there were no windows. Everything was solid Rock. The ceiling fell on Tenarius, the weight was more than enough to crush the average Elephant, what chance then, did Tenarius have? There was no room to hide in, the was no secret nich to slip into, every square inch of the room was going to be crushed evenly.

OOC: and even if you do not have a defence or a counterattack, you still won't die, but I won't tell you until afterwards why.

Tenarius simply raised his hand and the rock stopped.
OOC: Changing air density, you know? It's how he stopped Garthox.

Tenarius simply raised his hand and the rock stopped.
OOC: Changing air density, you know? It's how he stopped Garthox.

Before Tenarius's eyes, Rock became Steel, and spikes erupted out of the ceiling stabbing at Tenarius. To make it that much harder, the floor began to get hot. The very edges of the room became Hot Lava. The Floor slowly shrank.

"Here it ends. It was a good fight, but no one, without exception has ever gotten out of this trap." Shadowlord said.

Tenarius grunted as the spikes ran him through. But then he started smiling.
"Your mistake."
And then he exploded in a puff of smoke, leaving the dagger that Shadowlord had attempted to stun him with

OOC: Another replacement. The real Tenarius is somewhere else.

Tenarius grunted as the spikes ran him through. But then he started smiling.
"Your mistake."
And then he exploded in a puff of smoke, leaving the dagger that Shadowlord had attempted to stun him with

OOC: Another replacement. The real Tenarius is somewhere else.

The air grew dark. The Density was taken out of it. Tenarius had to be in the room somewhere. The Ceiling began to fall again. The floor continued to shrink as it continued to turn into Lava.

"Its inevitable. You're just another mortal that thinks your unstoppable. Do you have ANY idea how many times I've been thhrough this same scenario?" Shadowlord asked.

The spikes stoped appearing.

"Well, It's an irrelevant Number." Shadowlord said.

Tenarius looked down at the lava, and sighed
"You're beginning to really bore me, you know. This lava won't affect me."
So saying, he waved his hands and watched as the rock everywhere was slashed to bits by invisible hands.
"So come out and play with me."

Tenarius looked down at the lava, and sighed
"You're beginning to really bore me, you know. This lava won't affect me."
So saying, he puled out his swords and simply sliced the rock in half with the sword.
"So why don't you show yourself? I need someone to play with, after all."

It all disappeared. Tenarius was in Darkness.
"I am Fear. My form differs from entity to entity. Let me show you an aspect of fear." Shadowlord banished the darkness, and adopted the form of a Thermonuclear bomb capable of a 90 Megaton Blast.

"Go ahead, hit me. I'm sure a nice refreshing blast would work wonders for you." Shadowlord said.

The bomb exploded as Tenarius burned it.
There was smoke and nothing could be seen. Except that when it cleared, Tenarius was still standing.
"I've been making too many clones and replacements, I shouldn't keep making them."

The bomb exploded as Tenarius burned it.
There was smoke and nothing could be seen. Except that when it cleared, Tenarius was still standing.
"I've been making too many clones and replacements, I shouldn't keep making them."

The Explosien revealed Tenarius was on a moon overlooking a strange alien world. The Atmosphere vanished, and by Tenarius's own actions, Tenarius was Deprived of Oxygen.

In Tenarius's mind...

"hehe, I don't need air like you do." Shadowlord laughed.

"Uck"
Tenarius grunted. When it came to air needed to breathe, he could actually survive for quite a while without it. But if it came too long, he would be forced to use....... it.
Tenarius looked around
"Come out and show yourself, you demonic bastard."

True to his word, Shadowlord was composed entirely of fear. He was infront of Tenarius

OOC: You have to describe him. Shadowlord is the physical Embodiment of all things Tenarius fears, whether Tenarius realises he fears them or not. You know Tenarius, you know what Tenarius fears.

OOC: Tenarius is really only afraid of two things: losing and heights. However, to descirbe him:
IC:
A tall, thin man stood before Tenarius. He looked very similar, except that he had red hair instead of black, and he also carried the red eye.
Tenarius stood back a little. "Sarsa?"
"Yeah, it's me."

OOC:
Sarsa is Tenarius's older brother, who died many years. He's very similar, possessing Tenarius's sword skills and eye. The only real difference between the two is that Sarsa could't regenerate himself or use , and rather than air, he controls sand, which he carries a large gourd on his back. However, he's better with swords.

A tall, thin man stood before Tenarius. He looked very similar, except that he had red hair instead of black, and he also carried the red eye.
Tenarius stood back a little. "Sarsa?"
"Yeah, it's me."

OOC:
Sarsa is Tenarius's older brother, who died many years. He's very similar, possessing Tenarius's sword skills and eye. The only real difference between the two is that Sarsa could't regenerate himself or use , and rather than air, he controls sand, which he carries a large gourd on his back. However, he's better with swords.

OOC: So then, Shadowlord would realise this. The only path I can see best hapening here, is a sword fight until Tenarius runs out of oxygen completly and either begins to suffocate and die, or he has to use that special ability.

IC: Sarsa (Shadowlord) drew his sword.

Blue turned to white, and the cave grew cold.

The sultan came face to face with a legend, a rumor.

Yes, that's right, he found The Abominable Snowman.

It was big, and its fur was greyish white. It had great fangs, and its eyes glowed yellow. It had a very, very big club.

It roared, The Sultan invaded its territory.

It banged its club on the ground. Sharp crystals fell towards The Sultan.

"Oh boy." he grunted as he dodged the ice shards. "Is that the Abominable Snowman?! Oh, he has got to die!" he said, more to himself than anyone else.

He took out his .45 colt revolver, and ran behind a column of ice, waiting for the creature to come around.

The Yeti didn't. Instead it banged on the Ice column until it shattered, and then brought his club down on Sultan.

Tenarius thought quickly.
He couldn't use his air attacks here, and his swordsmanship was inferior to that of Sarsa. There might be only one way, and if that fialed, than he would have to play his last card.
Tenarius drew his sword.
"Come and get me."
OOC: It's not oxygen. It's that Tenarius's regenerative ability can keep him alive, but it isn't going to work a lot longer, given the amount of clones and full regenerations he's had to use in this fight.

"Come and get me."

Sarsa (shadowlord) came at Tenarius with all of Sarsa's skill.

OOC: Feel free to describe the fight. You'll make it sound better than me trying to guess at Sarsa's skills and at what Sarsa might do.

Tenarius grunted. Too go up against Sarsda in sword play was suicide. HIs sand would protect him even if he could beat him.
So Tenarius looked him in the eye.
Immeadiately another illusion had appeared. But it wasn't the same as before.
OOC: Ri-an, you have to describe it. Basically, Tenarius went through Shadowlord's head and summoned the worst memory or fear he ever had to him.

Shadowlord screamed in agony and terror beyond reconing. A man with white hair, white skin, and black clothes appeared, his eyes and his lips were as his heart, black. He held in his hand a bloody, dripping sword.

"Reality is a funny thing Tenarius. By summoning his memory of his worst fear you summoned me. But I will not fight you, not now. Your dreaming, your asleep. Soon, I shall return to this Reality, and unite the great evils into a new Hell. Our terror shall spread forth from the gates of hell to the threshold of Paradise itself, as the Entirety of the Mortal Realm Falls beneath The Burning Standards of Hell becoming a permanete outpost of Hell. Now then, Tenarius, Wake up!" The strange man said. As the man said this Tenarius himself, would wake up.

It was broad Daylight, and memories of what happened would be quickly fading. There was however, paper and pen nearby.

OOC: Was that whole thing a dream? It is important, because Tenarius lost a LOT of souls in that battle if it was real.

OOC: Was that whole thing a dream? It is important, because Tenarius lost a LOT of souls in that battle if it was real.
OOC:
Yes, it was a dream, brought on by The Ministry of Shadow. The Ministry f Shadow is made up of the seven shards of Shadowlord's soul. Lady Ri-an fought and destroyed Shadowlord a few NS years ago. Tenarius won in the dream, because summoning Shadowlord's own fears, causes him to vanish. The white haired dude came in, because he owns the Shadowlord, and the Ministry of Shadow. He is the Dark God Kajeenith, and he still follows the old tradition of delivwering a threat to someone before he takes action. Lady Ri-an does not know that the Ministry of Shadow is active again, and therefore no precautions were taken to prevent them from invading your dreams.
