SSJwrestler · 09-12-2004, 08:27 PM

Enzeru looked upon the face of the man that appeared out of the ground in front of him.

I know this man...I know him...he's my...my...father

"Father," Enzeru shouted as he rounded the corner to his father's shop carrying a plate of rice cakes and a glass of water "I've brought you some..."

clang

The boy dropped what he was carrying as he was met with the sight of his father dangling from metal hooks shoved through his sides three feet off the ground. A pool of blood had formed at the blacksmith's feet. Enzeru backed up a few feet, his face locked in a look of disbelief.

The man dangling from the chains looked up with swollen and bloodied eyes, he was severley beaten, and tried to shout the words "Run, Enzeru!" which came out as a muffled groan.

Hearing this, the five bandits responsible for the beating looked up from their looting to see the boy. They all smiled murderously and drew their weapons as they advanced towards the doorway. Enzeru simply stood there, paralyzed with fear.

As the bandits made there way towards the boy, they were surprised when the boy pulled a contraption from the back of his belt and a shot rang out from it, dropping the bandit to the far left. Four more shorts rang out in succession, causing the bandits to fall into lifeless heaps on the ground.

Enzeru shook violently as he looked on what he had just done, he was quickly snapped out of his trance though when his eyes met with those of his beaten father's. Enzeru ran to his father, gun in hand, and hugged his dangling leg tightly.

"Enzeru...I'm not going to make it.."

"Yes you will father, I'll run and get help, I'll..."

"Enzeru, you have one bullet left...use it on me...

"No...I can't..."

"Please...Enzeru...shoot me..."

"I CAN'T"

But you can...you have once before...and you're alive now...open your eyes you fool...WALK! a voice in Enzeru's head spoke, and it spoke truthfully.

When Enzeru opened his eyes, he was on his knees twenty yards from Draconis, sweat pouring down his forehead. He began to stand, and walk heavily towards the half-demon, taking a few steps, resting, then continuing on.

"Dra..con..is...pl..ease..jo..in..us" Enzeru begged as he crawled towards the shadowed man.

As Enzeru clawed his way towards the fiend, images of his dead father continued to resonate through his sub-concious. Finally, when Enzeru had crawled to within ten yards of the demon, he couldn't take it anymore and collapsed face-first into the black floor of the ampitheatre

Draconis · 09-12-2004, 08:40 PM

Draconis stood stunned for a second. The smoke drew back under his duster. Draconis's eyes lost their hellish glow, hair fell flat where it had been on end, and his face turned to that of a normal man of about 24 years of age. Cocking his head to one side, Draconis approached Enzeru's collapsed body and dropped to one knee.

"Nobody's ever gotten that close to me during a vision. You've got some spirit, kid."

He extended his hand and helped Enzeru to his feet.

"I'll join this group of yours. If you put half as much effort into defeating your enemies, you'll be very amusing to watch."

SSJwrestler · 09-12-2004, 08:46 PM

Enzeru staggered a few steps and leaned heavily on the newest member of the party.

"Please don't dispel to anyone what went on and what you saw here and now, Draconis." Enzeru said as he wobbled, standing on his own for the first time "That's something that I wish to keep to myself."

Looking down the mountain, Enzeru turned back to Draconis and said, "Thanks for joining us, your skills will only strengthen our party. Let's get going down the mountain and join the rest of the group."

Draconis · 09-12-2004, 08:59 PM

"You mean you walked all the way? Good for you, it'll help your endurance later on, that is once you rest up. I always like using the lift."

Draconis walks over to a wooden lift and onto the platform.

"Well, come on. You would rather take this than walk down, wouldn't you?"

Draconis untied a knot on the lift and the two descended right in the middle of the party.

"So, this is it. Well, let's do the meet and greet, shall we? Draconis Hanoni, murderous madman, malevolent psychopath, and stylish man about town. How do you do?"

SSJwrestler · 09-12-2004, 09:02 PM

Looking over the stunned group, Enzeru could only chuckle.

"See...I told you I'd take care of it. Heh. Introduce yourselves guys."

SSJwrestler · 09-13-2004, 07:10 AM

Petra sighed deeply, then cleared her throat before taking a step forward to introduce herself. Her hands never left the reigns of her horse, which she gripped tightly, and did not dare make eye contact with the demon, as she spoke.

"My name is Petra. I am the Emperor's scout and I will be leading our party through the lands ahead. I offer my thanks for lending your services to our group."

With this, Pesho returned to her previous silence and to the side of her horse, using it as sort of a shield if the demon decided to attack.

Draconis · 09-13-2004, 08:40 AM

The ninja balled his fist and through clenched teeth uttered, "I am Xyven, Imperial assasin. I have heard many stories about you."

"Oh please. You're making me blush. But don't listen to those stories that you hear. I'm not nearly as bad as they say I am. Otherwise, there'd be no one left to tell the story and no one left to hear it," gleaned Draconis, "Now then, since this other one appears to be a mute that doesn't know to not address someone with their mouth gaping wide open, would you mind telling me his name, Xyven?"

Amarth · 09-13-2004, 11:23 AM

At the sight of Draconis, Shoan's mouth fell open. He couldn't believe the unimposing little man before him was the psychotic murderer he had heard so much about. This man looked like he could barely harm an old lady. His manner and demeanor was polite and calm, though in a somewhat disturbing way. As Draconis looked over at him though, Shoan looked directly in his eyes for the first time, and the stories he had heard became much more believable. He could see the soul of a man that relishes in the suffering of the innocent. It felt as though the screams of hell were penatrating his very soul. As Draconis spoke, Shoan was snapped from this spell and closed his mouth, returning to his usual cocky grin.

"I am not mute small fry. My name is Shoan Usaku, leader of the Tamashii Hito clan. I'm here to get my prison sentence revoked. Now, if nobody has any objections, let's move on to the next recruit. Who was it?"

Draconis · 09-13-2004, 11:33 AM

"Small fry, huh? Well, that's just not very cordial of you now is it?" Draconis growled as he flashed a glint of red across his right eye, a wisp of blood red smoke rising slowly towards the cloudy sky, "Didn't your mother tell you it's not polite to call people names?"

Amarth · 09-13-2004, 11:49 AM

At the word mother, a flash of light came across Shoan's eyes. When it was gone, a figure of his mother stood before him. There was nothing but darkness all around the two of them, but neither seemed to notice it.

Mother - "How could you just leave like that? Didn't you love us?"
Shoan - "Of course I do. I just..."

The figure of Shoan's father faded in next to her.

Father - "You're such a disappointment. You've brought nothing but shame to us. Why couldn't you have been more like your brother?"
Shoan - "But..."

Next, his brother faded in on the other side of his mother.

Brother - "You're so weak Shoan. You're far too week to ever be an Eldaire."
Shoan - "Amarth, I..."
Father - "Quiet. Your voice sickens me."
Mother - "You're no longer our son."
Amarth - "You're too weak to be my brother."
Shoan - "No..."
Father - "Disappointment."
Mother - "Hethen."
Amarth - "Weakling."
Shoan - "NO!"

In a flash, the vision was gone, and Shoan stood petrified with fear before the group. They all looked curiously at him, having yelled that last part out loud. Sweat covered his brow and his heart beat furiously. His blood was rushing through his veins, and he could hear the adrenaline flowing through his body. After a moment, he calmed down and could slowly move again. He regained his composure and replaced that cocky smile that was so familiar to him.

"Well, that's an interesting technique. Being an imp has a few perks huh?"

Draconis · 09-13-2004, 12:12 PM

"You'd do well not to insult me, boy," snapped Draconis, "That is if you want to live to see morning."

shhht

It was then that Shoan noticed the claws receding into Draconis's fingertips.

"There's no sense in killing you. It'd only be a waste of my time. Now, did you say there was someone else we needed to get, Enzeru?"

Amarth · 09-13-2004, 12:24 PM

Shoan chuckled to himself at the thought of this creature attempting to kill him. Though Shoan may be a human, he was, in his own opinion, the toughest human in the world. There were few people in the world that could even challenge him in a one on one fight, much less defeat him. His posture and expression let Draconis know that though the vision he had experienced was terrifying, Shoan had no problem with a duel.

Uh, Enzeru, I think this is the time where you put a stop to the internal quarrels and move the story along.

SSJwrestler · 09-13-2004, 12:54 PM

"Amarth Eldaire," Enzeru said ",former General of the Northern armies. The man is a legend in the Imperial Guard, and theres never been a finer swordsman in the land."

"Where do we find this man?" Petra spoke up

Enzeru walked a few paces to his horse and began rummaging through his saddlebag, looking for nothing really, just trying to waste time.

Then turning around, running his hand through his hair and laughing nervously, Enzeru said "Heh heh heh...noone knows. He dissapeared five years ago, and hasn't been seen since. That's our dilemna."

Dixie · 09-13-2004, 04:24 PM

Alright, kids. I'll be Pesho or Pehso or whatever his fucking name is, but he's gonna be a she and not "a ruski asshole."

Petra ( as close as i could get)
Weapon: Bow, backed up with shortsword
Class: Ranger
Strength: Survival Abilities and Agility
Power: Beast Control (?!) is this like "pest control?" what am i, the terminix guy?
Personality: short tempered, hardened
Backstory: The Emperor's scout. She's a ranger who knows how to stay alive in nature. She also has a very cool history which I'll make up later.

Dixie · 09-13-2004, 04:30 PM

"Well. That's just famous, Enzeru." Petra said, leaning her sun-tanned face into the pulsing neck of her horse. Her long, straight brown hair fell across the horse's shoulder and down into her sharp, green eyes.

How did I get involved with such a rag-tag bunch of misfits?

SSJwrestler · 09-13-2004, 05:07 PM

"Yeah...I probrably should have thought things through a bit more before asking the Emperor to let me add Amarth to our party." said Enzeru, continuing to wear a nervous smile on his face and run his hands through his hair.

"I wouldn't suppose any of you know where he is, since you all travel more than I do?" Enzeru questioned, turning towards the party's other three members, "Cause that sure would be swell."

Amarth · 09-13-2004, 06:25 PM

A soft mutter came from Shoan.
"He's my brother."

Shoan let loose a deep sigh and divulged what he had kept secret for 10 years.

"My real name is Shoan Eldaire. I ran away from home because I hated the way my parents forced me into my brother's shadow. I hated the military and I didn't want to have anything to do with it. I left because I couldn't take my parents, but Amarth and I were always close. I don't know why, because deep down I knew that it was him I was always being compared to. Amarth lives in the woods, about a half day's ride from here, but if I take you there, you must never speak of it to anyone. I'll lead the way."

Shoan was torn between seeking his brother's help to get rid of an unspeakable evil and keeping his solemn oath of silence about his location. The others could see his heart ripping in two every step his horse took.

SSJwrestler · 09-13-2004, 08:34 PM

Well, that was unexpected...kinda..

The sun shined extra brightly as the group made its way across a steep ridge, leaving the dark horizon of Mount Sendo behind them. The path the group travelled on led to a valley deep in the mountains, which was extremely hard to get to due to the jagged outcroppings of huge boulders and the long drops that accompanied each side of the tall ridge. After a few hours of continuing on this trail, the party was forced to abandon their horses, tying them a sturdy oak, and continue the rest of the way on foot.

"Is it me, or does this valley, never seem to be getting closer, even though we've already been travelling for half a days time." Enzeru said, baring a slightly dimmed smile in comparison to the one the group was accustomed to. "Shoan, how much farther?"

Dixie · 09-14-2004, 10:24 AM

Petra glanced distractedly at Shoan, waiting for a reply. She had been on edge ever since they had been forced to leave their horses behind. Without her faithful stud she felt more vulnerable to the whims and caprices of a vengeful and often cruel Nature. Hopping agilely ahead of the group, she crouched and dropped her ear to the ground, listening. After a few moments, she rose back up and lifted her nose to the air.

Hmm, a fire and... rabbit? Not 5 miles from here...

Petra could sense the turmoil in Shoan's heart and felt something kin to sympathy for the bandit, but before even a flame of compassion could spark within her, she stifled it. She had not allowed herself to feel anything but distrust and cold composure since that day so many years ago...
Turning her thoughts back to the task at hand, Petra spoke up gruffly, interjecting.

"Whether it is this Amarth you speak of or not, we'll be meeting someone within two hours."

Draconis · 09-14-2004, 11:27 AM

Draconis's ears perked at this.

"That should liven things up a bit. I spend a lot of time around the dead and I have to say the lot of you are far less interesting than a cooling corpse. Besides, aside from my time on Sendo, I'm not used to going this long without blood on my hands."

It also occurred to him that it'd been nearly 4 months since he'd been on top of Mount Sendo and just as long since he'd had a drink.

"Since that god forsaken valley doesn't seem to be getting any closer, I'm going to use my power of time travel."

Looking around, he saw everyone looking at him in amazement and wonder.

"Well, it does only work for the person taking the potion, but....[pulling a jug from his jacket] this grain alcohol should be enough for me to time travel at least 2 hours into the future. Provided I don't pass out on the side of the road, I may even manage to teleport."

After letting the joke sink in for a second or two, Draconis let out a hearty laugh and started chugging out of the jug.

"What? No one else wants a pull?"

Draconis put the jug back under his duster, fully content with the burning sensation in his throat and the fire slowly building in his stomach.

SSJwrestler · 09-14-2004, 01:22 PM

With a very dissapointed look on his face and empty outstretched hands, Enzeru said in a low mumble, " I wanted some of the magic potion..."

He then turned back towards the valley, and began to walk again, face down, back hunched, kicking small stones and twigs off the path.

Draconis · 09-14-2004, 02:40 PM

Something flies and hits Enzeru in the side of the head, falling into his hands. It's the jug.

"You should've spoken up sooner. Be careful with that. I've got a couple centuries drinking experience under my belt. I lost my taste for the weaker, sweeter stuff a long time ago," boasts Draconis, "Hell, while it's out, I'll take another pull. The rest of you are more than welcome to it. [taking the bottle and lifting it to his lips] You know what they say; what doesn't kill you..."

glug

Draconis lets out a harsh hissing laugh and tosses the jug to Petra.

Amarth · 09-14-2004, 03:14 PM

Beast control... as in the power to control and communicate with animals. Sheesh...

Shoan greedily chased the bottle as it was tossed around the group. "Don't forget me!" he begged, "I want to teleport. Maybe even fly!" At last he managed to get the bottle from Petra and took in three large gulps. It was strong... very strong. But, that was just the way he liked it. He could feel it going to work immediately, numbing his body and relaxing his muscles. He put the cap back on the bottle and handed it back to Draconis. "Now that's some good drink!" In his inebriated state, he carelessly threw one arm around the murderous entity and pointed the other triumphantly ahead. "To AmaRtH'sh HeWShe!" The liquor was quickly taking effect. A big stupid smile spread across his face and he begand walking merrily, almost dancing, towards the valley. "TaNKs dRatHonIs! i oH yAH One buHD!"

Draconis · 09-14-2004, 03:27 PM

"You're goddamn right. That's the kind of drinking I'm used to. Three throws on this shit ain't bad. I'm willing to bet that the rest of you would be reminded of what you had for lunch if you drank that much," shouted Draconis, "I thought you'd be a light weight, Shoan. Good show. Xyven, you're the only one sober, bud. You in?"

Draconis tauntingly shook the bottle at Xyven, sloshing around what was left.

"I'll drink when we get there. You're all too concerned with getting drunk when you should be concerned with ambushes. Someone has to be on their guard," snapped Xyven. There was contempt in his voice.

SSJwrestler · 09-14-2004, 03:31 PM

Enzeru waited till the jug was being held loosely in Draconis' hand before he grabbed it. Taking the bottle in both hand and lifting it up to his nose, Enzeru breathed deeply.

Doesn't seem THAT strong

Enzeru next lifted the jug to his lips and took a long swig. As soon as the jugs contents hit his lips, he knew that his previous thoughts were wrong.

"Gyyaaahhhh!" Enzeru yelled, rearing back his head and sending the jug flying from his hands in an attempt to get the hell water away from his mouth.

Draconis caught the bottle with ease before it hit the ground and placed it back behind his cape, all the while watching as Enzeru ran around in circles fanning his mouth yelling "HOT HOT HOT HOT!"

Enzeru glanced frantically around at his fellow party members looking for something that could put a stop to the inferno that had started in his mouth. Finally, Enzeru saw a canteen at Petra's hip and dove for it, falling to his knees and pulling the fair scout to a halt.

The gunman downed the water in one gulp and threw his head back in relief, letting out an expasperated sigh. It was then that he realized the party had come to a stop and were staring dumbfounded at the little man sitting on his knees at the scouts side. It was then that Enzeru also realized he hadn't removed his other hand from Petra's belt, which rode low on her hips, and the scout was looking down at him with a muderous rage in her eyes.

Enzeru jumped back about ten feet , landing hard on his ass. As he lay there, wiith a drunken smile on his face and a glaze over his ice-blue eyes, he spoke "Sorry about that everyone....I guess it's been a whiile since I drank.....sorry Petra."

Enzeru stumbled his way back up to his feet and looked back at his party members, running his hand through his hair and laughing lightly as he was accustomed to when he was caught in an akward moment. "What say we continue on?"

Draconis · 09-14-2004, 03:43 PM

"Hahahaaa, I gave you fair warning. Most people can get a buzz off of smelling the stuff. Let's get going before I start sobering up. [aside to Shoan] I don't know if your fighting ability is enough for you to act as cocky as you do, but your drinking ability definitely is. Well done, well fucking done," said Draconis, slapping Shoan on the back.

Amarth · 09-14-2004, 03:46 PM

A huge grin spread across Shoan's face. "My fightering abilithy is waaayyyyyyy more than your stupehd abilidy." His drunk eyes wandered their way over to Petra, who looked as though she was boiling with rage. Shoan laughed a merry drunken laugh at the sight of rage in Petra's eyes. He did his best to assume his cocky stature and said, "DoN't be sHO angRY hunNEH. BeAUUtiful mAYdeNs SUSh aZ yoURselph shouLDN't bE ANgry." Shoan knew this wasn't what she wanted to hear, but he was drunk enough to act like a fool anyway.

For plot convenience, Shoan has sobered up already after their two hour walk. Also, Petra, I'm moving on with the story, but if you want to post something as a reply to this, don't let me stop you. Just put it in later.

After walking for a while, the group finally realized that they were very close to the valley, and could plainly see the house in the middle of it. The beauty of the scene struck awe into all of them (except maybe Draconis). It was surrounded by beautiful and delicate plants that were obviously very well cared for. As they stood at the edge of the valley, taking in the beautiful seen, a ripple of wind traveled amazingly fast across the blades of grass and beautiful flowers that were planted in the valley. It was imperceptible except for the way the plants parted beneath it. Shoan raised his spear and swung at it lightning fast, and a metal clang was heard, much to the befuddlement of the rest of the party.

"Aww c'mon bro. Don't be that way. They're here for a reason I promise."

A voice called faintly from the house, but the words were clearly audible, "What part of NO VISITORS did you not understand? Act like an adult Shoan."

"But this is really important! And not in the way I say most things are important. We need your help!"

The door on the cottage opened and a figure stepped out. The man was about six feet tall with tanned skin and blonding hair, which was strange on his very Japanese body. His hair was the same length all over, coming just below his eyes in the front. He had his bangs parted so that his sharp hazil eyes shown through, yet another defiance of his Japanese heritage. He looked like a slightly taller version of Shoan, except covered in battle scars and much more serious. Even from the distance of the edge of the valley, his eyes pierced the hearts of the party. It was as though he could see right through all of them to what motivated them and what lay in their souls, good and bad. He wore a blue silken shirt and loose grey pants. On his feet were simple sandals, and at his side was a beautiful sword with some characters that couldn't be made out by the party, but spelled the word "Shinjitsu".

"Go away." he spoke simply, and turned to walk back in the house. A loud *SMACK* was heard and Amarth's body tensed up half way back in the door. He grabbed his head and backed up, revealing one of the most beautiful women any of the party had ever seen. Even though her face was contorted into anger, it seemed clear that it was forced, concealing the happiness that never faded from her eyes. Even though the words she spoke were those of anger and authority, her voice was like the serenade of a siren, dripping with a serene beauty. "What do you think you're doing sending your own brother away like that when he obviously needs your help. Now invite these nice people in for dinner. We have plenty of food for all of them and they know where we are now anyway so there's no sense in sending them away." She turned and walked back in the house, singing softly to herself.

Amarth turned to the party and in a tone that seemed as though to rebel and comply at the same time said, "On second thought, why don't you all come in for dinner?" He calmly turned and walked back into his cottage.

A huge smile covered Shoan's face. He turned to the party and said, "You guys are in for a treat. Tenshoujo's cooking is the best." He giddily jogged up to the cottage.

Dixie · 09-14-2004, 04:19 PM

Alright, sorry, kids, I wasn't trying to be a pain in the ass, but if some of you would check your freaking messages once in awhile, this wouldn't have been a problem. I had some issues with the site not letting me post, but I resolved them, so, let me catch up

Dixie · 09-14-2004, 04:29 PM

Just for the sake of character development, Petra doesn't drink, nor is she enraged by stupid boy things. She's not a nazi feminist. These types of things only amuse her.

Petra was struck in a curious way by the man they were now in the company of. He seemed so solid, so ready. She envied and admired him and his lovely mistress for their happiness and apparent stability, so far from her own world.
Remaining constantly aware of the scene unfolding about her, Petra followed the group into the cottage, where the delicious smells nearly knocked her off her feet. The beautiful woman turned from preparing the meal and smiled at Petra as if they two shared a secret unknown by the rest of the company. Petra looked away, detesting the delirious contentedness of this woman and her perfect little abode.

Amarth · 09-14-2004, 04:34 PM

*Sigh* Nazi feminists are borrrrring. :'( Your character, I just like to complain. Plus, writing these things let's the people who actually read this get to know us ^_^.

SSJwrestler · 09-14-2004, 04:43 PM

The taste of the liquor Enzeru had consumed ealier,still burned deeply in his mouth, but as the gunman sat cross-legged next to the fireplace in Amarth's quaint cottage, heavenly aromas began to tickle his nose and the burning sensation in his mouth began to linger.

As Enzeru sat there, he cast glances towards Amarth, who was seated in the kitchen and began to think of ways of approahcing to subject of him joining the party and thwarting the evil that threatened their mother nation. But the gunman was nervous. Here he sat in the house of his boyhood hero. The great General of the Northern armies, whose victories still amazed the nations modern generations.

Damn...I didn't think it'd be this hard to ask the guy to join us....I mean..

GRUMBLE! A large groan was released from Enzeru's empty stomach. Enzeru grabbed his stomach and bowed his head.

All this worrying is making me hungry...I'll think of a way later...after we eat...damn that food smells good...I hope dinner is ready soon

Amarth · 09-14-2004, 04:58 PM

Tenshoujo appeared before the group with a helping that seemed a feast fit for an army. Two huge trays piled with what seemed to be at least ten pounds of food on each. Everyone in the party drooled with anticipation, only to be disappointed when she gave one to Amarth, and the other to Shoan. She bowed to the rest of the group and said, "I'll be right back with your food." She came back with one more tray for the rest of the party. She had lived secluded from society for a long time, but not long enought to think that everyone eats like Amarth and Shoan. She gave herself a small helping and sat on the ground next to Amarth. The sight of her eating so politely and delicately was quite amusing as she sat next to Amarth and Shoan, who were ravenously devouring the huge helpings at an unbelievable rate.

Draconis · 09-14-2004, 05:13 PM

"Pardon me, but your manners are deplorable," exclaimed Draconis, who sat with a look of disgust at the two Eldaire's eating habits.

SSJwrestler · 09-14-2004, 05:17 PM

Enzeru leaned forward and removed his serving from the tray in front of him. At first, Enzeru tried not to wolf down his food and show some decorum in front of the two ladies that accompanied the party, but quickly adandoned that plan after seeing Amarth and Shoan's eating habits.

The food Tenshoujo had prepared was unbelievable, the tastes that filled the gunman's mouth seemed almost heavenly. After finishing his meal, and loosening his gun belt one notch, Enzeru stood and thanked Tenshoujo.

" That meal was incredible, Tenshoujo, but I am afraid I may sullen this merry mood we are all in by asking what I must. I apologize in advance."

Then, turning to Amarth, who had just finished his meal, Enzeru cleared his throat and began, "Amarth Eldaire, former General of the Northern Armies and legendary swordsman. My name is Enzeru Amatsu, the Imperial Angel, personal gaurd to the Emperor. His Majesty has sent me to ask for services once again. A great evil has arisen from the ashes of our countries wars, and is now ausing dissent in our peaceful land. Will you travel with our assembled party and thwart this evil?"

Enzeru let out a great sigh of relief after saying what he must, and awaited Amarth's answer.

I said she's NOT a nazi feminist

Dixie · 09-14-2004, 05:41 PM

Petra sat back and watched detachedly as Enzeru implored Amarth to join them. She had little interest in who went along and who didn't as long as she was paid and, besides, there wasn't a doubt in her mind that Amarth would accept, however hesistantly, the request of the Emperor and his "Angel."

SSJwrestler · 09-14-2004, 05:52 PM

Come now. Let's not bust on the Angel, or he may just bust on you

Dixie · 09-14-2004, 06:44 PM

Oh, indeed there must, but no one said it was to be me

Draconis · 09-15-2004, 07:59 AM

I love it when people bicker. No wait... I'm sorry. I got that wrong. What I meant to say was this:
SHUT THE FUCK UP AND STOP THIS PETTY BULLSHIT OF TAKING JABS AT PEOPLE AND WHINING ABOUT SAID PETTY BULLSHIT
This is a story writing area, not LiveJournal. All self-serving negativity, personal rants, interjectional comments on characters that in no way further that characters development, suicide threats, requests for books or other gifts from anonymous strangers, how-your-cat-is-feeling comments, what music you're listening to right now, polls on what people want you to wear next time you go in front of the web cam, and other miscelaneous emo-type bullshit can go there.
This goes for everyone.
I hope that the subtlety has not detracted from the message.

uh, woah. i think the person you should be directing your little sermon at is yourself there buddy. i believe everyone who is involved in this are good friends with the exception of yourself, so if you have a problem with us poking fun at eachother, i suggest you go somewhere else. if you were talking about me, i would just like to clarify that my "angel" comment was from the POV of my character and roche knows i love him. maybe you guys (Amarth and SSJWrestler) disagree with me, but I think we all want to have fun here and not be hardasses, am i right?

Draconis Insane Location: Normandy, June of '44	Draconis stood stunned for a second. The smoke drew back under his duster. Draconis's eyes lost their hellish glow, hair fell flat where it had been on end, and his face turned to that of a normal man of about 24 years of age. Cocking his head to one side, Draconis approached Enzeru's collapsed body and dropped to one knee. "Nobody's ever gotten that close to me during a vision. You've got some spirit, kid." He extended his hand and helped Enzeru to his feet. "I'll join this group of yours. If you put half as much effort into defeating your enemies, you'll be very amusing to watch." __________________ STEVE MCKENNA!

Draconis Insane Location: Normandy, June of '44	"You mean you walked all the way? Good for you, it'll help your endurance later on, that is once you rest up. I always like using the lift." Draconis walks over to a wooden lift and onto the platform. "Well, come on. You would rather take this than walk down, wouldn't you?" Draconis untied a knot on the lift and the two descended right in the middle of the party. "So, this is it. Well, let's do the meet and greet, shall we? Draconis Hanoni, murderous madman, malevolent psychopath, and stylish man about town. How do you do?" __________________ STEVE MCKENNA!

Draconis Insane Location: Normandy, June of '44	The ninja balled his fist and through clenched teeth uttered, "I am Xyven, Imperial assasin. I have heard many stories about you." "Oh please. You're making me blush. But don't listen to those stories that you hear. I'm not nearly as bad as they say I am. Otherwise, there'd be no one left to tell the story and no one left to hear it," gleaned Draconis, "Now then, since this other one appears to be a mute that doesn't know to not address someone with their mouth gaping wide open, would you mind telling me his name, Xyven?" __________________ STEVE MCKENNA!

Draconis Insane Location: Normandy, June of '44	"Small fry, huh? Well, that's just not very cordial of you now is it?" Draconis growled as he flashed a glint of red across his right eye, a wisp of blood red smoke rising slowly towards the cloudy sky, "Didn't your mother tell you it's not polite to call people names?" __________________ STEVE MCKENNA!

Draconis Insane Location: Normandy, June of '44	"You'd do well not to insult me, boy," snapped Draconis, "That is if you want to live to see morning." shhht It was then that Shoan noticed the claws receding into Draconis's fingertips. "There's no sense in killing you. It'd only be a waste of my time. Now, did you say there was someone else we needed to get, Enzeru?" __________________ STEVE MCKENNA!

SSJwrestler Banned Location: Davidson, NC/ Manassas, VA	Enzeru looked upon the face of the man that appeared out of the ground in front of him. I know this man...I know him...he's my...my...father "Father," Enzeru shouted as he rounded the corner to his father's shop carrying a plate of rice cakes and a glass of water "I've brought you some..." clang The boy dropped what he was carrying as he was met with the sight of his father dangling from metal hooks shoved through his sides three feet off the ground. A pool of blood had formed at the blacksmith's feet. Enzeru backed up a few feet, his face locked in a look of disbelief. The man dangling from the chains looked up with swollen and bloodied eyes, he was severley beaten, and tried to shout the words "Run, Enzeru!" which came out as a muffled groan. Hearing this, the five bandits responsible for the beating looked up from their looting to see the boy. They all smiled murderously and drew their weapons as they advanced towards the doorway. Enzeru simply stood there, paralyzed with fear. As the bandits made there way towards the boy, they were surprised when the boy pulled a contraption from the back of his belt and a shot rang out from it, dropping the bandit to the far left. Four more shorts rang out in succession, causing the bandits to fall into lifeless heaps on the ground. Enzeru shook violently as he looked on what he had just done, he was quickly snapped out of his trance though when his eyes met with those of his beaten father's. Enzeru ran to his father, gun in hand, and hugged his dangling leg tightly. "Enzeru...I'm not going to make it.." "Yes you will father, I'll run and get help, I'll..." "Enzeru, you have one bullet left...use it on me... "No...I can't..." "Please...Enzeru...shoot me..." "I CAN'T" But you can...you have once before...and you're alive now...open your eyes you fool...WALK! a voice in Enzeru's head spoke, and it spoke truthfully. When Enzeru opened his eyes, he was on his knees twenty yards from Draconis, sweat pouring down his forehead. He began to stand, and walk heavily towards the half-demon, taking a few steps, resting, then continuing on. "Dra..con..is...pl..ease..jo..in..us" Enzeru begged as he crawled towards the shadowed man. As Enzeru clawed his way towards the fiend, images of his dead father continued to resonate through his sub-concious. Finally, when Enzeru had crawled to within ten yards of the demon, he couldn't take it anymore and collapsed face-first into the black floor of the ampitheatre

SSJwrestler Banned Location: Davidson, NC/ Manassas, VA	Enzeru staggered a few steps and leaned heavily on the newest member of the party. "Please don't dispel to anyone what went on and what you saw here and now, Draconis." Enzeru said as he wobbled, standing on his own for the first time "That's something that I wish to keep to myself." Looking down the mountain, Enzeru turned back to Draconis and said, "Thanks for joining us, your skills will only strengthen our party. Let's get going down the mountain and join the rest of the group."

09-12-2004, 09:02 PM	#45 (permalink)
SSJwrestler Banned Location: Davidson, NC/ Manassas, VA	Looking over the stunned group, Enzeru could only chuckle. "See...I told you I'd take care of it. Heh. Introduce yourselves guys."

09-13-2004, 07:10 AM	#46 (permalink)
SSJwrestler Banned Location: Davidson, NC/ Manassas, VA	Petra sighed deeply, then cleared her throat before taking a step forward to introduce herself. Her hands never left the reigns of her horse, which she gripped tightly, and did not dare make eye contact with the demon, as she spoke. "My name is Petra. I am the Emperor's scout and I will be leading our party through the lands ahead. I offer my thanks for lending your services to our group." With this, Pesho returned to her previous silence and to the side of her horse, using it as sort of a shield if the demon decided to attack.

Amarth Loser Location: About 50,000 feet in the air... oh shit.	At the sight of Draconis, Shoan's mouth fell open. He couldn't believe the unimposing little man before him was the psychotic murderer he had heard so much about. This man looked like he could barely harm an old lady. His manner and demeanor was polite and calm, though in a somewhat disturbing way. As Draconis looked over at him though, Shoan looked directly in his eyes for the first time, and the stories he had heard became much more believable. He could see the soul of a man that relishes in the suffering of the innocent. It felt as though the screams of hell were penatrating his very soul. As Draconis spoke, Shoan was snapped from this spell and closed his mouth, returning to his usual cocky grin. "I am not mute small fry. My name is Shoan Usaku, leader of the Tamashii Hito clan. I'm here to get my prison sentence revoked. Now, if nobody has any objections, let's move on to the next recruit. Who was it?"

09-13-2004, 11:49 AM	#50 (permalink)
Amarth Loser Location: About 50,000 feet in the air... oh shit.	At the word mother, a flash of light came across Shoan's eyes. When it was gone, a figure of his mother stood before him. There was nothing but darkness all around the two of them, but neither seemed to notice it. Mother - "How could you just leave like that? Didn't you love us?" Shoan - "Of course I do. I just..." The figure of Shoan's father faded in next to her. Father - "You're such a disappointment. You've brought nothing but shame to us. Why couldn't you have been more like your brother?" Shoan - "But..." Next, his brother faded in on the other side of his mother. Brother - "You're so weak Shoan. You're far too week to ever be an Eldaire." Shoan - "Amarth, I..." Father - "Quiet. Your voice sickens me." Mother - "You're no longer our son." Amarth - "You're too weak to be my brother." Shoan - "No..." Father - "Disappointment." Mother - "Hethen." Amarth - "Weakling." Shoan - "NO!" In a flash, the vision was gone, and Shoan stood petrified with fear before the group. They all looked curiously at him, having yelled that last part out loud. Sweat covered his brow and his heart beat furiously. His blood was rushing through his veins, and he could hear the adrenaline flowing through his body. After a moment, he calmed down and could slowly move again. He regained his composure and replaced that cocky smile that was so familiar to him. "Well, that's an interesting technique. Being an imp has a few perks huh?"

09-13-2004, 12:24 PM	#52 (permalink)
Amarth Loser Location: About 50,000 feet in the air... oh shit.	Shoan chuckled to himself at the thought of this creature attempting to kill him. Though Shoan may be a human, he was, in his own opinion, the toughest human in the world. There were few people in the world that could even challenge him in a one on one fight, much less defeat him. His posture and expression let Draconis know that though the vision he had experienced was terrifying, Shoan had no problem with a duel. *Uh, Enzeru, I think this is the time where you put a stop to the internal quarrels and move the story along.*

09-13-2004, 12:54 PM	#53 (permalink)
SSJwrestler Banned Location: Davidson, NC/ Manassas, VA	"Amarth Eldaire," Enzeru said ",former General of the Northern armies. The man is a legend in the Imperial Guard, and theres never been a finer swordsman in the land." "Where do we find this man?" Petra spoke up Enzeru walked a few paces to his horse and began rummaging through his saddlebag, looking for nothing really, just trying to waste time. Then turning around, running his hand through his hair and laughing nervously, Enzeru said "Heh heh heh...noone knows. He dissapeared five years ago, and hasn't been seen since. That's our dilemna."

Dixie Psycho Location: the land of cotton	"Well. That's just famous, Enzeru." Petra said, leaning her sun-tanned face into the pulsing neck of her horse. Her long, straight brown hair fell across the horse's shoulder and down into her sharp, green eyes. How did I get involved with such a rag-tag bunch of misfits? __________________ talk is cheap, so i buy every word you said. scared me half to death, now i'm half dead.

SSJwrestler Banned Location: Davidson, NC/ Manassas, VA	"Yeah...I probrably should have thought things through a bit more before asking the Emperor to let me add Amarth to our party." said Enzeru, continuing to wear a nervous smile on his face and run his hands through his hair. "I wouldn't suppose any of you know where he is, since you all travel more than I do?" Enzeru questioned, turning towards the party's other three members, "Cause that sure would be swell."

09-13-2004, 06:25 PM	#57 (permalink)
Amarth Loser Location: About 50,000 feet in the air... oh shit.	A soft mutter came from Shoan. "He's my brother." Shoan let loose a deep sigh and divulged what he had kept secret for 10 years. "My real name is Shoan Eldaire. I ran away from home because I hated the way my parents forced me into my brother's shadow. I hated the military and I didn't want to have anything to do with it. I left because I couldn't take my parents, but Amarth and I were always close. I don't know why, because deep down I knew that it was him I was always being compared to. Amarth lives in the woods, about a half day's ride from here, but if I take you there, you must never speak of it to anyone. I'll lead the way." Shoan was torn between seeking his brother's help to get rid of an unspeakable evil and keeping his solemn oath of silence about his location. The others could see his heart ripping in two every step his horse took.

SSJwrestler Banned Location: Davidson, NC/ Manassas, VA	Well, that was unexpected...kinda.. The sun shined extra brightly as the group made its way across a steep ridge, leaving the dark horizon of Mount Sendo behind them. The path the group travelled on led to a valley deep in the mountains, which was extremely hard to get to due to the jagged outcroppings of huge boulders and the long drops that accompanied each side of the tall ridge. After a few hours of continuing on this trail, the party was forced to abandon their horses, tying them a sturdy oak, and continue the rest of the way on foot. "Is it me, or does this valley, never seem to be getting closer, even though we've already been travelling for half a days time." Enzeru said, baring a slightly dimmed smile in comparison to the one the group was accustomed to. "Shoan, how much farther?"

09-14-2004, 10:24 AM	#59 (permalink)
Dixie Psycho Location: the land of cotton	Petra glanced distractedly at Shoan, waiting for a reply. She had been on edge ever since they had been forced to leave their horses behind. Without her faithful stud she felt more vulnerable to the whims and caprices of a vengeful and often cruel Nature. Hopping agilely ahead of the group, she crouched and dropped her ear to the ground, listening. After a few moments, she rose back up and lifted her nose to the air. Hmm, a fire and... rabbit? Not 5 miles from here... Petra could sense the turmoil in Shoan's heart and felt something kin to sympathy for the bandit, but before even a flame of compassion could spark within her, she stifled it. She had not allowed herself to feel anything but distrust and cold composure since that day so many years ago... Turning her thoughts back to the task at hand, Petra spoke up gruffly, interjecting. "Whether it is this Amarth you speak of or not, we'll be meeting someone within two hours." __________________ talk is cheap, so i buy every word you said. scared me half to death, now i'm half dead.

Draconis Insane Location: Normandy, June of '44	Draconis's ears perked at this. "That should liven things up a bit. I spend a lot of time around the dead and I have to say the lot of you are far less interesting than a cooling corpse. Besides, aside from my time on Sendo, I'm not used to going this long without blood on my hands." It also occurred to him that it'd been nearly 4 months since he'd been on top of Mount Sendo and just as long since he'd had a drink. "Since that god forsaken valley doesn't seem to be getting any closer, I'm going to use my power of time travel." Looking around, he saw everyone looking at him in amazement and wonder. "Well, it does only work for the person taking the potion, but....[pulling a jug from his jacket] this grain alcohol should be enough for me to time travel at least 2 hours into the future. Provided I don't pass out on the side of the road, I may even manage to teleport." After letting the joke sink in for a second or two, Draconis let out a hearty laugh and started chugging out of the jug. "What? No one else wants a pull?" Draconis put the jug back under his duster, fully content with the burning sensation in his throat and the fire slowly building in his stomach. __________________ STEVE MCKENNA!

SSJwrestler Banned Location: Davidson, NC/ Manassas, VA	With a very dissapointed look on his face and empty outstretched hands, Enzeru said in a low mumble, " I wanted some of the magic potion..." He then turned back towards the valley, and began to walk again, face down, back hunched, kicking small stones and twigs off the path.

09-14-2004, 02:40 PM	#62 (permalink)
Draconis Insane Location: Normandy, June of '44	Something flies and hits Enzeru in the side of the head, falling into his hands. It's the jug. "You should've spoken up sooner. Be careful with that. I've got a couple centuries drinking experience under my belt. I lost my taste for the weaker, sweeter stuff a long time ago," boasts Draconis, "Hell, while it's out, I'll take another pull. The rest of you are more than welcome to it. [taking the bottle and lifting it to his lips] You know what they say; what doesn't kill you..." glug Draconis lets out a harsh hissing laugh and tosses the jug to Petra. __________________ STEVE MCKENNA!

Amarth Loser Location: About 50,000 feet in the air... oh shit.	*Beast control... as in the power to control and communicate with animals. Sheesh...* Shoan greedily chased the bottle as it was tossed around the group. "Don't forget me!" he begged, "I want to teleport. Maybe even fly!" At last he managed to get the bottle from Petra and took in three large gulps. It was strong... very strong. But, that was just the way he liked it. He could feel it going to work immediately, numbing his body and relaxing his muscles. He put the cap back on the bottle and handed it back to Draconis. "Now that's some good drink!" In his inebriated state, he carelessly threw one arm around the murderous entity and pointed the other triumphantly ahead. "To AmaRtH'sh HeWShe!" The liquor was quickly taking effect. A big stupid smile spread across his face and he begand walking merrily, almost dancing, towards the valley. "TaNKs dRatHonIs! i oH yAH One buHD!"

Draconis Insane Location: Normandy, June of '44	"You're goddamn right. That's the kind of drinking I'm used to. Three throws on this shit ain't bad. I'm willing to bet that the rest of you would be reminded of what you had for lunch if you drank that much," shouted Draconis, "I thought you'd be a light weight, Shoan. Good show. Xyven, you're the only one sober, bud. You in?" Draconis tauntingly shook the bottle at Xyven, sloshing around what was left. "I'll drink when we get there. You're all too concerned with getting drunk when you should be concerned with ambushes. Someone has to be on their guard," snapped Xyven. There was contempt in his voice. __________________ STEVE MCKENNA!

SSJwrestler Banned Location: Davidson, NC/ Manassas, VA	Enzeru waited till the jug was being held loosely in Draconis' hand before he grabbed it. Taking the bottle in both hand and lifting it up to his nose, Enzeru breathed deeply. Doesn't seem THAT strong Enzeru next lifted the jug to his lips and took a long swig. As soon as the jugs contents hit his lips, he knew that his previous thoughts were wrong. "Gyyaaahhhh!" Enzeru yelled, rearing back his head and sending the jug flying from his hands in an attempt to get the hell water away from his mouth. Draconis caught the bottle with ease before it hit the ground and placed it back behind his cape, all the while watching as Enzeru ran around in circles fanning his mouth yelling "HOT HOT HOT HOT!" Enzeru glanced frantically around at his fellow party members looking for something that could put a stop to the inferno that had started in his mouth. Finally, Enzeru saw a canteen at Petra's hip and dove for it, falling to his knees and pulling the fair scout to a halt. The gunman downed the water in one gulp and threw his head back in relief, letting out an expasperated sigh. It was then that he realized the party had come to a stop and were staring dumbfounded at the little man sitting on his knees at the scouts side. It was then that Enzeru also realized he hadn't removed his other hand from Petra's belt, which rode low on her hips, and the scout was looking down at him with a muderous rage in her eyes. Enzeru jumped back about ten feet , landing hard on his ass. As he lay there, wiith a drunken smile on his face and a glaze over his ice-blue eyes, he spoke "Sorry about that everyone....I guess it's been a whiile since I drank.....sorry Petra." Enzeru stumbled his way back up to his feet and looked back at his party members, running his hand through his hair and laughing lightly as he was accustomed to when he was caught in an akward moment. "What say we continue on?"

Draconis Insane Location: Normandy, June of '44	"Hahahaaa, I gave you fair warning. Most people can get a buzz off of smelling the stuff. Let's get going before I start sobering up. [aside to Shoan] I don't know if your fighting ability is enough for you to act as cocky as you do, but your drinking ability definitely is. Well done, well fucking done," said Draconis, slapping Shoan on the back. __________________ STEVE MCKENNA!

09-14-2004, 03:46 PM	#67 (permalink)
Amarth Loser Location: About 50,000 feet in the air... oh shit.	A huge grin spread across Shoan's face. "My fightering abilithy is waaayyyyyyy more than your stupehd abilidy." His drunk eyes wandered their way over to Petra, who looked as though she was boiling with rage. Shoan laughed a merry drunken laugh at the sight of rage in Petra's eyes. He did his best to assume his cocky stature and said, "DoN't be sHO angRY hunNEH. BeAUUtiful mAYdeNs SUSh aZ yoURselph shouLDN't bE ANgry." Shoan knew this wasn't what she wanted to hear, but he was drunk enough to act like a fool anyway. For plot convenience, Shoan has sobered up already after their two hour walk. Also, Petra, I'm moving on with the story, but if you want to post something as a reply to this, don't let me stop you. Just put it in later. After walking for a while, the group finally realized that they were very close to the valley, and could plainly see the house in the middle of it. The beauty of the scene struck awe into all of them (except maybe Draconis). It was surrounded by beautiful and delicate plants that were obviously very well cared for. As they stood at the edge of the valley, taking in the beautiful seen, a ripple of wind traveled amazingly fast across the blades of grass and beautiful flowers that were planted in the valley. It was imperceptible except for the way the plants parted beneath it. Shoan raised his spear and swung at it lightning fast, and a metal clang was heard, much to the befuddlement of the rest of the party. "Aww c'mon bro. Don't be that way. They're here for a reason I promise." A voice called faintly from the house, but the words were clearly audible, "What part of NO VISITORS did you not understand? Act like an adult Shoan." "But this is really important! And not in the way I say most things are important. We need your help!" The door on the cottage opened and a figure stepped out. The man was about six feet tall with tanned skin and blonding hair, which was strange on his very Japanese body. His hair was the same length all over, coming just below his eyes in the front. He had his bangs parted so that his sharp hazil eyes shown through, yet another defiance of his Japanese heritage. He looked like a slightly taller version of Shoan, except covered in battle scars and much more serious. Even from the distance of the edge of the valley, his eyes pierced the hearts of the party. It was as though he could see right through all of them to what motivated them and what lay in their souls, good and bad. He wore a blue silken shirt and loose grey pants. On his feet were simple sandals, and at his side was a beautiful sword with some characters that couldn't be made out by the party, but spelled the word "Shinjitsu". "Go away." he spoke simply, and turned to walk back in the house. A loud SMACK was heard and Amarth's body tensed up half way back in the door. He grabbed his head and backed up, revealing one of the most beautiful women any of the party had ever seen. Even though her face was contorted into anger, it seemed clear that it was forced, concealing the happiness that never faded from her eyes. Even though the words she spoke were those of anger and authority, her voice was like the serenade of a siren, dripping with a serene beauty. "What do you think you're doing sending your own brother away like that when he obviously needs your help. Now invite these nice people in for dinner. We have plenty of food for all of them and they know where we are now anyway so there's no sense in sending them away." She turned and walked back in the house, singing softly to herself. Amarth turned to the party and in a tone that seemed as though to rebel and comply at the same time said, "On second thought, why don't you all come in for dinner?" He calmly turned and walked back into his cottage. A huge smile covered Shoan's face. He turned to the party and said, "You guys are in for a treat. Tenshoujo's cooking is the best." He giddily jogged up to the cottage.

Dixie Psycho Location: the land of cotton	Just for the sake of character development, Petra doesn't drink, nor is she enraged by stupid boy things. She's not a nazi feminist. These types of things only amuse her. Petra was struck in a curious way by the man they were now in the company of. He seemed so solid, so ready. She envied and admired him and his lovely mistress for their happiness and apparent stability, so far from her own world. Remaining constantly aware of the scene unfolding about her, Petra followed the group into the cottage, where the delicious smells nearly knocked her off her feet. The beautiful woman turned from preparing the meal and smiled at Petra as if they two shared a secret unknown by the rest of the company. Petra looked away, detesting the delirious contentedness of this woman and her perfect little abode. __________________ talk is cheap, so i buy every word you said. scared me half to death, now i'm half dead.

SSJwrestler Banned Location: Davidson, NC/ Manassas, VA	The taste of the liquor Enzeru had consumed ealier,still burned deeply in his mouth, but as the gunman sat cross-legged next to the fireplace in Amarth's quaint cottage, heavenly aromas began to tickle his nose and the burning sensation in his mouth began to linger. As Enzeru sat there, he cast glances towards Amarth, who was seated in the kitchen and began to think of ways of approahcing to subject of him joining the party and thwarting the evil that threatened their mother nation. But the gunman was nervous. Here he sat in the house of his boyhood hero. The great General of the Northern armies, whose victories still amazed the nations modern generations. Damn...I didn't think it'd be this hard to ask the guy to join us....I mean.. GRUMBLE! A large groan was released from Enzeru's empty stomach. Enzeru grabbed his stomach and bowed his head. All this worrying is making me hungry...I'll think of a way later...after we eat...damn that food smells good...I hope dinner is ready soon

Amarth Loser Location: About 50,000 feet in the air... oh shit.	Tenshoujo appeared before the group with a helping that seemed a feast fit for an army. Two huge trays piled with what seemed to be at least ten pounds of food on each. Everyone in the party drooled with anticipation, only to be disappointed when she gave one to Amarth, and the other to Shoan. She bowed to the rest of the group and said, "I'll be right back with your food." She came back with one more tray for the rest of the party. She had lived secluded from society for a long time, but not long enought to think that everyone eats like Amarth and Shoan. She gave herself a small helping and sat on the ground next to Amarth. The sight of her eating so politely and delicately was quite amusing as she sat next to Amarth and Shoan, who were ravenously devouring the huge helpings at an unbelievable rate.

Draconis Insane Location: Normandy, June of '44	"Pardon me, but your manners are deplorable," exclaimed Draconis, who sat with a look of disgust at the two Eldaire's eating habits. __________________ STEVE MCKENNA!

SSJwrestler Banned Location: Davidson, NC/ Manassas, VA	Enzeru leaned forward and removed his serving from the tray in front of him. At first, Enzeru tried not to wolf down his food and show some decorum in front of the two ladies that accompanied the party, but quickly adandoned that plan after seeing Amarth and Shoan's eating habits. The food Tenshoujo had prepared was unbelievable, the tastes that filled the gunman's mouth seemed almost heavenly. After finishing his meal, and loosening his gun belt one notch, Enzeru stood and thanked Tenshoujo. " That meal was incredible, Tenshoujo, but I am afraid I may sullen this merry mood we are all in by asking what I must. I apologize in advance." Then, turning to Amarth, who had just finished his meal, Enzeru cleared his throat and began, "Amarth Eldaire, former General of the Northern Armies and legendary swordsman. My name is Enzeru Amatsu, the Imperial Angel, personal gaurd to the Emperor. His Majesty has sent me to ask for services once again. A great evil has arisen from the ashes of our countries wars, and is now ausing dissent in our peaceful land. Will you travel with our assembled party and thwart this evil?" Enzeru let out a great sigh of relief after saying what he must, and awaited Amarth's answer.

Dixie Psycho Location: the land of cotton	Petra sat back and watched detachedly as Enzeru implored Amarth to join them. She had little interest in who went along and who didn't as long as she was paid and, besides, there wasn't a doubt in her mind that Amarth would accept, however hesistantly, the request of the Emperor and his "Angel." __________________ talk is cheap, so i buy every word you said. scared me half to death, now i'm half dead.
