The Coming Darkness (open and looking for new members)

[Bortelex]

Metra and the other angels walked along slightly after the black dragon. Gerifrinze was trying his best to keep up with the black dragon but considering the size difference, Gerifrinze had to just about run to keep up. When the group entered the clearing five of the angels created a perimeter and stood guard, although it wasn't necessary it was habit for them as all had been in military roles for a good portion of their life. Metra went closer to the fire on invitation. Gerifrinze stayed close to the black dragon.

A few minutes after the odd group reached the clearing, Aliana emerged from the forest, panting. A second or two passed before she actually took in her surroundings. The fire at the center was welcoming. It seemed that she had caught up just in time to hear an elder speak, who seemed to know why they were all sent for. She listened carefully, but found little answer to many questions swirling around in her head. Feeling safe with dragons around, namely Tramer, she found a seat on a log near the fire and simply stared off into the forest wondering what truly lurked out there.

 

[Tramer]

Tramer approached the fire slowly keeping his eyes on the old man, suddenly a loud shriek echoed from the forest and a frenzy of movement erupted just outside the clearing, the sun had finished setting leaving it impossible to see what exactly what out there. Turning to face the direction of the original shriek Tramer stood motionless ready for an attack but quickly seeing nothing was entering the clearing Tramer turned back toward the old man, just as Tramer was about to say something a overpowering fatigue sweep over him like a heavy blanket, Tramer shuck his head trying to fight off the sensation to sleep.

“sleep…” the old man said holding his right hand out in front of him palm down, he presided to lower his hand closer to the ground increasing the sensation to sleep, “all will be explained in the morning, for now sleep…” the man continued.

Tramer looked around to see everyone else had already gave into the spell and were already in a pleasant sleep, not being able to resist anymore Tramer lowered his body to he ground and was quickly asleep.

Awaking shortly after the break of dawn Tramer stood up, arcing his neck stretching Tramer let out a long yon, looking around he was surprised to see a long elegant wooden table had appeared were the fire camp fire had formally resided, the table was covered in a variety of food, beside the table elevated on a pedestal like stone there were two large golden plates, thou one was fare larger than the other both were filled with fresh raw meat. A bit confused Tramer closely examined the area.  

[Tramer]

“eat! You are all famished, enjoy yourselves and replenish your straight, and then I will explain all” the old man addressed to everyone.

Staring into the dancing flames Alia felt herself drooping a bit. She hadn't realized how tired she was from this mishap adventure. Giving into the feeling of extreme fatigue she let body fall off on the log and onto the forest ground, where she then used the log as an awkward pillow. Just as sleep was about to claim her she heard a loud shriek. Her mind told her to respond, but she was far too tired, and instead let the calming darkness take hold.

Upon awakening the next morning, Aliana found herself surprisingly refreshed. Though her back ached slightly from the awkward position she had slept in, her mind and body were fully rested. The young witch lifted herself from the ground, quickly realizing the changes around her. The fire pit from before was now replaced by a large table adorned with various foods. Then hearing a familiar voice she turned to the elder from the before. She regarded his words carefully. Was this food safe? Aliana then look toward Tramer to see what he would do. If the dragons found this all acceptable then who was she complain.

((Eek. I hope that was in character. It has been awhile since I've posted here. Hopefully this RP will live again. ^.^))

 

[Tramer]

Approaching the larger plate of meat Tramer sniffed it suspiciously, not sensing anything foul Tramer took a small portion of meat, not tasting any poisons or such Tramer could only hope it was safe, thou Tramer new well not all positions had a sent of taste. Lowering his body to the ground Tramer grasped the chunk of meat with his front claws and began tearing as the into his meal with his razor sharp teeth.

((it shall LIVE!!))  

[The Spork Wizard]

Jeid happily made his way through the forest, in the way his druid parents had taught him to do; quickly, and without disturbing anything. Unlike most of the times, when he would simply dance and jump and spin to his destination, Jeid felt some sense of urgency in getting to his destination. He, like others whom he did not know, had had a vision that was drawing him forwards, to one particular spot. So he ran, crouched over, Ardengsh clinking quietly every time it hit his thigh, giving rhythm to his dash. He still smiled, occasionally laughing at a random squirrel's antics, but kept going, bullet straight through the night. He had been delayed by several figures, whom he had only seen in the distance. He didn't know what or who they were, but as soon as he called out to them, he had been attacked magically, from every side. Luckily, he was able to use his illusion magics to draw them off, before escaping, but he had still lost quite a bit of time, and even more time making sure they wouldn't follow him.

Eventually, after dawn the next day and a few hours rest, Jeid made his way into a clearing. He saw several people, including a dragon currently tearing his way through a large chunk of meat. When he hit the forest, he actually passed several celestial beings, but after a few quick plucking on his instrument, he was able to get past him, with them thinking him merely a squirrel on its way to a nest or to forage. Once he had gotten within the 'perimeter', Jeid stood straight, instrument held casually by the neck in his right hand, waving to the others with his left. "Hello!" he called in a cheery voice. "Is there any food there for me?"

((hope thats enough delay))  

[Tramer]

The old man gave the newcomer a worm and welcoming smile, “yes yes, there is plenty for everyone!” the man said enthusiastically, “how glad I am you came, we can only hope more will arrive before days end” the old man continued as he approached the elf, his long staff in hand.

Tramer stopped eating as the newcomer entered the clearing, carefully examining the elf Tramer didn’t know what to think of him, thou jugging from the tone of his voice and the friendly reception of the old man Tramer quickly returned to his meal, tarring off another chunk of flesh.  

[maurikal]

Aliana watched as Tramer proceeded to accept the food laid out before them all. As the larger of the two dragon’s present tore through a chunk of meat, the young witch gathered a bit of fruit from the table onto a small plate, along with a few slices of bread before she sat down on the log she that used as a pillow quite recently.

Once seated she began to nibble on the fresh fruit, but stopped mid-bite when a newcomer arrived. He seemed to be a musician of sorts. After the elder greeted him, Aliana merely sent a smile and a wave, with her free hand before returning to pear she was eating.

Gerifrinze woke up after not intending to fall asleep. When he saw the food that had been placed during their sleep he had wanted to eat, and he was quite hungry since he was still very young. But he wasn't sure to trust the old man, but after Gerifrinze saw Tramer eat he readily started to tear off small portions of meat and gulp them down.

Metra had not realized they had fallen to sleep but after a quick glance around he saw that the others had also been affected. It had not been in a malicious sense so when Metra saw the table of food he decided to have a small meal. The other angels would take turns eating so as to maintain the perimeter. Nothing Metra could say would have caused the other angels to take a different action.

Jeid made an exxagerated bowing motion towards the man, sweeping his hat from his head with a flourish, before straightening back up and placing his hat back. "Why thank you, my good man." He said, trying to sound as lordly as he could, and failing. He strode over to the table, and after a friendly nod towards everyone there, began to select fruits and vegetables, plus one roasted rabbit, to eat. He didn't say much as he ate, but he ate quickly, finishing off with some water, and wiping his hand across his mouth, to clean himself up a little bit. He surveyed the table, acting as if he was thoroughly stuffed and only sitting there out of politeness, before he spotted a small bowl of pudding. Immediately, all traces of being full vanished, and he quickly scooped himself a large serving, and began once again, to devour the food in front of him.  

[Rarkul]

Rarkul lay in his bed dreaming, he never usually had many dreams but this one was different, he was in a forest a voice called out to him a message. He suddenly knew the forest and the area, he understood the dream, it was a calling. He saw a ruin, he snapped awake suddenly. He sat up in his bed, he dressed quickly, he put his armour on and gathered his weapons, he walked past his fathers study and flicked his finger at a quill standing in a pot of ink and muttered a word Richty. It floated up and began to write a message telling his father he'd left for awhile. Seeing as the dream had showed him the area and he believed it to be more than a dream, a vision, he decided to arrive there quickly.
Rarkuls body began to disintergrate rapidly into thick black shadows like smoke. A few seconds later he was gone, meanwhile in The Forest Of The Dead black swirling smoke began to rise until Rarkul arrived. Rarkul hurried to where he'd been shown and entered a clearing, he stopped suddenly, there were loads of people and creatures in this clearing. He stood there gaping.
(Heh thats probably a bit too long sorry but first post and all heh. smile )

Again Aliana found her attention taken from her breakfast and directed towards her surroundings. Someone else had entered. Unlike the last new comer this one seemed awed by the sight before him and made little attempt to join. She pondered on whether she should great him. Surely the elder would soon enough. It seemed that many would be drawn to this place. Slowly she tore her bread before consuming it. Nearly silver strands fell like a curtain over her face as she continued her meal. Aliana silently searched for reasons that led her to where she was now. What would become of this makeshift group that was slowly forming?

((Don't worry. As long as a post has structure it's not too lengthy.))

 

[Tramer]

“yet another?” the old man said with a puzzled expression on his face, “my strength must be leaving me for it to have taken so long for you to have received your invitation” the old man said with a slight chuckle as he approached the newest to enter the clearing, “eat, drink, gather your strength, and later this night I shall explain to all the purpose of this gathering” the old man said in a friendly voice to the newcomer.

Tramer took a glance as yet another newcomer entered the clearing, after looking him over Tramer quickly returned to his meal, it had been a long time since he had eaten meat so tender and flavorful, he was left wondering what kind of animal it had came from, for he had never tasted anything quite like it.

((sorry its been taking me so long to post…iv just had a lot on my plate recently lol))  

[Rarkul]

Rarkul nodded his head towards the man and took a seat and began to eat, at first he took a few bites inspecting the group around him, before settling down and tucking right into his meal, the food was delicious.
