The League: Bloodlines ((Started/Closed))

[CJ1145]

Zech paid no attention to Matrion's words as he marched forward. As he strode into the heat, a shimmering aura around him seemed to form, leaving him safe from burns as he walked around her and came into Titus' view again. Around his arm a gauntlet formed, with a long pointed blade coming out from it. He scraped it along the ground several times as he advanced to Titus.

"My God is strong, and by his might I will prove your Empire a mockery."

He broke out into a run, and thrust straight into the bone shield with his blade, confident in the superiority of his power over that of Titus.

Garerus stood in the alley way a long time after Zech had left. He was milling over everything that was said and he knew for a fact everything was not as well as he has said to Zech. My stomach will kill me for this later but I have to go back... For the team he said with a sigh as he walked back toward the scene, and saw everything unfold. He managed to catch just about every bit of information that was to be seen since the fight started, and everything looked pretty much handled in it's current state. Except for one odd end... A girl had run and hidden herself away from the battle. She seemed to be connected to the current enemy of the fight, and he wasn't going to let something bad happen by leaving her unattended to. He quickly walked around to the backside of the hiding place, and notched an arrow into his long bow, aiming it at the girl when she came into view. She appeared to be cowering, and he let his aim drop."Little girl, what is your business here. It would probably be best if you told me, then just left this town."

"Forget you. i won't waste my breath on such savages." after lowing her temperature, Matrion crawled over to a half demolished wall and propped her self up against it, completely unaware of the girl and man behind it.

she inspected the torn membrane of her wing, letting out a whine of pain as she did. "By the goddess what have i done to deserve this?" she spoke with a mix of pain and distraught in her voice. then leaned her head against the wall and sobbed. "i'm not some emotionless monster."

No risks today
Titus moved towards the man in front of him. He did not deflect the strike. Instead, the liquid surrounding the shield moved forward and he tried to evade the man. The liquid reached the mans' unprotected arm and caused a small laceration to appear on it. Titus took a few steps back and watched as the other man charged at him again.
I don't know if my bone could take his blade
This time, Titus was decisive. He stood and raised his shield, the sword ready to stab him in his abbdomen.
" I won't be the only one bleeding today ".

 

[CJ1145]

Zech saw the defensive stance of the Roman and very nearly charged headlong into it, but he caught a glance of the Roman's hidden weapon, and immediately stopped his assault to roll to safety. He had never fought a Roman soldier head-on like this, at least not one that had any means to level the playing field. He would have to be creative this time.

Luckily, that suited his abilities well. The blade dissipated, replaced in his hands by a large shaft with a crude block that was apparently the head of a very large hammer. He spun on his heel and brought the hammer full circle before bringing it down at the Roman's bone shield from a greater distance than his previous weapon would have allowed.

Plain finally left the final house of the day, it was beginning to turn dark. he turned towards his small little house. As he reached there, he too out a small piece of parchment and began to scribble down some notes on it, sending a message to each and every other person in his order.

He started to write:
"Dear Everyone
How is everything going?
I hope that everything is going well and you are all still alive.
The reason I am sending this is to warn you that the sickness is starting to pick up pace, and more and more people end up ill each day. We need to put a stop to this. We need to find out who is doing it and stop them before they use it on us.
Meet me in Rome in a weeks time, I shall find you.
- Sincerely, Plain"
He then sighed, and recreated the copy of the note several time,s one for each of his friends. By the time the sun was rising again, he had finished and sent them off, they would arrive to them soon, and he would need to begin finish them.

<spoiler=OOC>Everyone, Assemble!
You can take your time if you want, but I would prefer if you were all in Rome quickly-ish...

Matrion whined a bit more when she stood up. she walked over to Contristo holding her side where the punch had made contact. once over to him, she held out her hand to help him up. "You could probably tell me more about myself than i could."

 

[Fishtie]

Wind Runner was snapped out of her condition when someone spoke to her. She had been so out of it that she let out a squeak and practically jumped out of her own skin. After a moment she could understand what was going on though she still shook with fear.

"I... I cant." She stuttered. "M...Master Contristo..." And she knew that she spoke the truth. No mater what horrors came she knew that there was just no way she could abandon him. When the entire world had seemed to turn against Cloud Runer he had been the one person to show her more kindness then she had ever known in her life. Even though he tried to hide it, she knew just how much trouble he had to take care of her, and that debt was one that she could never repay in full.

Speaking of...

Cloud Runner looked over to where Contristo was. Her eyes grew even larger in fear as she saw the monster that Contristo had fought was even now moving towards her helpless master.

She didn't have the first idea of hat to actually do, but there was no hesitation now. Breaking from her hiding spot she ran forward at a sprint and threw herself between Contristo and the dragon. Facing the monster she crossed her arms and blocked it's approach. For a moment she wondered weather she would be slashed in two or burnt to a crisp.

"St... St... Stop!"

 

[mcpop9]

"Young one, I'm not the same monster that he fought. I'm also sure i have a few cracked ribs, Look at my wing to. I'd be w fool to start something now, I simply need help." and Matrion sat down into a more submissive position.

 

[TheIronRuler]

Spoiler: OOC

I'm not sure of what we should do now. Since we're both players, fighting against each other is complicated because one could just not play along. I want to defuse the situation and hoped that the GM would come by and stop the fight, but apparently he's too busy at the moment in Rome.
Damn.
Any ideas?

 

[Fishtie]

Cloud Runner was massively confused. Among the potential things for the dragon to do that she had considered, sit and talk was definitely not one of them.

Still, she couldn't just trust this dragon's words completely. She remembered the legends she had heard that they were creatures who were both powerful and crafty. Besides it might be wounded as it said, but would anything so slight looking keep it from tearing through a single girl and an exhausted Contristo?

She looked back at Contristo who hadn't moved much yet. Still, she shouldn't make the dragon too mad. "W...Well... As you can see, Master Contristo is in no condition to help anyone right now. So just stay back."

 

[tobi the good boy]

"Quiet girl" Contristo responded through thick gasps for breath, His arm was clutched deep into his chest as if some accursed dagger had pierced his heart.

As Contristo was regaining his bearings his breaths become lighter and the pace had returned to normal. slowly but surely he willed himself to rise, his body was aching but twas the price of over using his power. While returning to a dignified and upright stance he shot a quick glance to his servant, Cloud Runner, a flicker of a smile crept onto his face just as fast as it had left it.

Contristo made staggered strides away from the extended grasp of the Draconian figure until he reached a the pile of rubble from which the beast had sealed itself in earlier. Contristo slumped onto it and sat there looking at the 'Dragon' for some time.

" What help would you want from me, I tore that thing in you" Contristo motioned to the gaping tear in the dragons wing.

 

[mcpop9]

"You tore it into me?" The ridge above her right eye twitched, as if it was trying to move.

Matrion then moved her wing, it being abit awkward as she never controlled it before, letting out another whine of pain in the process. "I have no recollection, just a red glow and a feeling of warmth. but yes, i fear it might get infected. can you please help me? I have no idea whats going on, I awoke into chaos i guess you could say."

 

[Fishtie]

Cloud Runner fell silent, chided by Contristo. It pained her to see Contristo moving in such obvious pain, but she didn't feel confident to go to his side until he had sat down again. She walked quickly to stand a bit behind him, obviously ready in case he needed her.

Now that Contristo was more active again, Cloud Runner was already feeling much better. Now that she wasn't so stressed she even listened a little to what the dragon said. She even felt herself feeling sorry for it a little from it's story.

 

[tobi the good boy]

Contristo stared into the draconian creatures eyes and noted the pain and fear. He listened to the pleas of the being that had just moments ago threatened to enslave and subsequently murder him. The body language spoke of kindness and truth in her words but Dragons were known for their intelligence, he was unaware of whether or not this was some sort of ruse.

" Girl, What do you have to say about this, it seems you've always got an opinion. I want it. " Contristo said as he tousled his servants hair.

 

[Fishtie]

Cloud Runner's actual opinion was rather conflicted. But with Contristo clearly recovering it allowed her mind to wander a little, and that caused a thought to poke at her mind.

"Well, this kind of looks like what happened in the square." She said referencing the scene they had investigated earlier. "But I don't think normal people could tie up something like that. So maybe there is some different controller, one violent and one not."

 

[mcpop9]

"His name is elding, appeared in my head when the burning started and saved me from it, don't remember anything but warmth from the time he was in control." then she stared at the gash in the wing for minute and shifted her attention back to them.

IronRuler, the last League RP was big on PvP combat, it's no big deal. Most of the time we'd just fight to a stalemate and an outside force would interrupt or we would communicate over PMs and decide the outcome. Just PM me whenever you get a chance and I'll get back to you when I can. I've been very busy with school, by the way, so excuse my delay in responding.

 

[Dragon_of_red]

<spoiler=OOC>Well I feel like a dick...
Is anyone in Rome yet or are we still wandering?
