Aftershock

[Jebus]

Keiva jumped at Lasicue's warning.

"Cyclops?"

Suddenly, himself and Lasicue were teleported to a safe distance.

He noticed that both Lasicue and Ember were uncontious. He had lost sight of Starman, Aitrus and Azzura.

He picked both Lasicue and Ember up and slung them over his shoulder. "Why am I helping these inferior beings?" he charged away from the advancing cyclops. He caught a glimps of Aitrus, Azzura and Starman.

"Perhaps we should retreat!" He yelled across the field.

The monster's numbers were growing greatly.

[goatsgomoo]

Goatsgomoo awoke to the scent of burning wood. He tried to sit up, and when he couldn't manage to do that, he tilted his head to the side. He noticed that the tree that caught fire during his fight with Keiva had also set fire to a nearby tree and a house. Suddenly, the other tree that had caught on fire fell down, setting fire to the nearby grass. Which was only about 40 feet from goatsgomoo. He tried to move his legs, but nothing happened. He grabbed a handful of grass and dragged himself slowly. He made his way over to the beach, which probably wouldn't catch fire, due to the fact that it was sandy. He looked back to where he was before, and noticed a trail of blood. He looked down, and saw that there was a large red spot on the sand. He touched his chest, and looked at his hand, which was suddenly covered with blood. He managed to move his head enough to find that his green shirt had a large red spot that was rapidly growing. He took out a firework and lit the bottom with a fire essence. It shot up, exploding in the air, colored sparks burst from it, although he didn't hear anything. Then his blurred vision went black.

[Ember]

Mean while as the battle raged on.. In a clearning not to far away lay a pack of wolfs, not just any wolfs... Embers wolfs.. They new the plan the had the sceant burned into there noises of who to kill. The smell of blood in the air just aroused there anger and hunger to kill but they new they must wait till the last signs of there beloved creater and care giver faded from the air.. it was already getting weeker and weeker..

 

The leader the most loyal Calrug stood and gave a bone shattering howl into the night there was magic in the howl it crushed the remaining skellitons and crippled nearly all the monsters only a few where left standing the pack set out to devore the remaining monster Calrug took it upon himself as his dutie to take out the lone cyc that was after his beloved. 3 wolfs went to aid the man with the flaming shirt, 8 circled around Aitrus and his group.. the reamaining wolfs melted into the forest howls could be hear and the screams of goblins and orcs in pain all threw out the night.

[Ryuu]

in the forest i sat plotting my revenge, "Megaman will see what its like in the void..."

 

then a wing chimeran landed, and i said "ok heres the message" i threw it at the chimeran and it cought it in its teeth, then flew off

 

he then dropped it over the raging battle

 

Aitrus, I am glad to hear your sister is doing better, have fun with the fluffy, oh and one more thing, if you find Megaman tell me, i want to "talk" to him

The lurching gait of Keiva jolted Lasicue awake. He groaned, "I'm getting too old for this smeg."

He took a look around to get his bearings, noticing ember unconcious and the howl of wolves off in the night. The smell of blood and burning flesh assaulted his sense of smell. He took a look at Keiva and nodded, "Thanks for saving me. What was that all about? And what the smeg are you?"

He took in more of his surroundings as he waited patiently for answer. There were all kinds of danger out tonight. Being an assassin for the last fifty of his seventy years he was accustomed to danger. Tonight he was apprehensive, and he didn't like it.

[Jebus]

"Who I am doesn't matter" Keiva gave Lasicue a harsh look.

 

Not knowing if Aitrus and the others escaped, he decided it would be for the best to go back and check.

[goatsgomoo]

Goatsgomoo woke up to see he was mostly in the ocean, only being able to breathe because somthing was holding up the back of his shirt. He thought that the salt water would sting his wounds, but he was unable to locate any, although his clothes were burned and bloody. Suddenly, he was being dragged back onto the beach. He tilted his head back to see a strange looking wolf. Goatsgomoo got up, looked around, then noticed that a section of the island was on fire, trapping an army of monsters. He started to run up the beach, and when he reached the burned grass, he suddenly wanted to be lying on the ground bleeding again. A large, green monster was running at him, screaming, "You! Elf!"

Goatsgomoo turned back to the beach, running for the water, not knowing exactly why. He stumbled a few times in the sand, but eventually reached the water as the monster was still on the beach. Goatsgomoo started swimming, then heard something. He turned around to see the monster reaching for his neck with its claws. Goatsgomoo dived into the water, and started swimming to nowhere in particular other than away from the monster. After about a minute, he went up for air and to look around. After 10 seconds of looking around, he decided the monster had forgotten about him. He realized he was wrong as he was pulled underwater. The monster held him underwater, looking at him, smiling. Goatsgomoo looked back, smiling, because he knew the monster had been underwater longer and would probably need air sooner. And when the monster came up for air, he could easily get his air too. The monster realized this, and started to pull him toward land. When the monster wasn't looking, he pulled off his boots and got a mouthful of salt water. When they were on land, goatsgomoo spit out the ocean water onto the sand and started coughing. The monster knelt by him, waiting. Then he jumped up and started running across the beach, hoping that his bare feet would be better suited to running in sand than the monster's. When he realized that the monster was catching up to him, he went onto the grass. He looked for a tree that looked as if it could hold his weight, then quickly scrambled up it. The monster started whacking the base of the tree with his arms. When the monster took a rest, goatsgomoo leaped to another tree as quietly as he could. The monster didn't notice and kept on whacking the first tree. Goatsgomoo took out his bow he had stolen from an orc along with arrows. He aimed and took a shot at the monster's neck. The monster attacked the tree more angirly. Goatsgomoo leaped to another tree and put down his belongings and fell asleep quite quickly.

[Jebus]

Keiva had taken a "detour" from the normal path when he saw goatsgomoo and remembered that he had attacked him earlier for no reason.

Now he had an arrow in his neck.

"Argh ..... stupid elf." The tip of the arrow must have had some type of sleeping poison on it, because no matter how angry and determined to get the elf he got, he still felt the undesirable urge to go to sleep.

 

So he did. Well, not on his own accourd.

 

[sorry if keiva wasnt the green monster you were talking about, ggm but i decided to add myself to your part )

[Ember]

Sencing that the Big lizard one was firmly able to carry his beloved Calrug lunged at the cyc knowing with his speed the cyc was no match for him as his razor like teeth tore open the cycs jugler spraying the stinch of blood across his musle. He would not have to worry this one was finished. Sniffing the groud he cought the send of the lizard he would beable to track that beast anywhere now. But for now he had to make sure 'her' wishes were carried out. Lundging across the caver of corpus and bones Calrug took out three of the goblins that had gotten behide these foolish warriors. Taking no direct acting to interfear or get with in range of there weapons he managed to even the numbers out a big before calling the others to melt back into the woods.

 

Mean while Tessie and her 2 pack brothers who were to take care of the flaming one where dealing with problems of there own... Tessie had managed to pull the elfling form the flams into the water but at some point her boys had dissapeared on her. She left the elf laying on the beach she could not scent out either of the boys but she could smell more burning and monsters that were NOT part of the plan heading in. Leaping over flames and dodging burning trees and evading monsters Tessie called to her packshe was the smallest the runt of the group and her howl when unanswered. Her only hope was to make the fire elf realize what was happening. Sniffing she hunted him back to a few trees away from lumped up lizard corpus lundging at the tree swifly growle emitting deep from her through he didnt see the goblin's above him.. she hit the elf hard and as they fell she snaped her fangs at him as she felt a blosm of pain spread from her left shoulder.. he had shot her..

[Quinticus]

Quinticus grunted at the creature's reluctance to answer. He found a comfortable spot to lie down and tried to get some rest. He could help but think tomorrow was going to be a long day.

[Aitrus]

Aitrus battled his way through the creatures, slashing here and there and slaying those that opposed him, some wolves he didnt kill but they quickly retreated when his sword set their fur alight, and when they ran to close to otherwolves they were set alight too! he ran and ran until he was exhausted, he was at a small stream and he waded through it to an island, he leaned against a tree and slowly fell asleep

[Aitrus]

Azzura was split up from the rest during the battle, sun and moon were her only guides and saved her many times, she slowly made her way towards the beach when she saw fires everywhere "AITRUS! AIIITRUS! BROTHER WHERE ARE YOU!?" she yelled and searched for him, he couldnt find her brother anywhere and kept going towards the beach.. hoping he was there...

[Aitrus]

Morrikan watched it all from the trees, he didnt join the fight because he had a more important job to do, he ran across the treetops, his bow raised and arrow ready, till he got to the last remaining house on the island, he opened the door and ran inside, he pulled the rug off the floor and decended down the trap door into darkness....

[Quinticus]

Lasicue slowly came awake. The excitement from the day before had exhausted him more than he had thought. It was yet another sign of his age. He ambled back to the site of yesterday's battle. The ground was littered with corpses, he was thankful none of them were his own. The tree he had been knocked up against was broken in half. Splinters from whatever caused it to break were embedded in other nearby trees. He was going to have to be more careful in the future.

Once again he took a glance around trying to make sense of the cause for the bombardment of monsters. He shook his head at the senselessness ( that spelled right? or even a word?) of it all.

[Ember]

As Ember stired and woke she paniced.. She couldnt feel her legs!! She strugled to sit up only to find Keiva slung across her lap bleeding all over her. Well that explained why she couldnt feel her legs, 'They must be asleep' she tought to herself. But where was she? Before anything else she must stop the bleeding not only for Keivas sake but for her own she had no idea what magic propertys it held or even if it was acidic. It was to dark to see clearly with in the shade from the trees so she would have to be extra careful. She ran her fingers along his neck there was a faint but steady pulse that was good it meant he was sleeping and not dying. This arrow how ever was a nasty contraton it had blades off set on both ends if it had gone clear threw then neck it would have left a nasty hole that would have killed any lesser being. So pulling the arrow straight out was on the bottom of the list. Griping the end the was smerd with blood in both hands she grutted trying to snap the head off but it wasnt working, this was no mear wooden arrow.. it was titainum cored.. beautiful craftmen ship down to the razor sharp blads on either end, unlike anything she had seen before.

"Beast.." Ember hissed her voice so far gone it was lost in the rustling of leaves in the wind. "This.. will hurt!"

She grasped the blooc free end making surethe blades on the other side were still lined up properly she ripped the arrow from his neck it was fallowed by a gush of blood. Tearing strips from her filthy cape she tyed then around his neck to stop the bleeding and send what little of her magic she had regain into him but it didnt seem to work... she was at a lost if someone didnt come soon to help she would have to go to drastic measures..

[goatsgomoo]

[Jebus, I actually meant for Keiva to be the monster, but I wasn't sure if you wanted Keiva to be the monster, so I wasn't specific. ]

Goatsgomoo woke up to see that Ember was healing the monster. Puzzled, goatsgomoo silently climbed back down the tree. He crept up to where Ember and the monster were, and sure enough, Ember was pulling his arrow out of the monster's neck and casting healing spells. After Ember laid the arrow on the ground and started to push Keiva off of her, goatsgomoo grabbed his arrow, cleaned it off, and put it back into his quiver. He placed a pile of 5 vials filled with a blue liquid in its place. He realized that Keiva could wake up any minute now, so he darted off into the darkness, entered an abandoned house and set down his belongings. He soon decided that it would be best not to be so obvious, and set all his belongings under the bed and climbed under there to sleep for the night. (Hopefully)

[Ember]

(( to ggm read all the post first before you post 8 post up ^^ you where involved))

 

Realizing that Keiva was to heavy to move alone she reached for the arrow maybe it would give her some laverage to lift him up... her hand closed on something cold glancing down it wasnt the arrow it was a vial of spirits! there were 5 of them in all! Calculating the amoutnst in her head... yes this should be enough to restore some of her powers. Quickly she poped the qwarks out releasing the spirits pulling them into her she opened the bandage on Keivas neck and place a hand on either side of the wound and forced all the spirit power in her threw her hands and into the draegoni...

He let out a scream that would have killed a lesser being his eyes slit open and focused on Ember...

Opening her mouth she tryed to talk "Aaah...." But it wasnt working she had pushed her throat to the limit. She when to crawl away but she was still pined by him...
