<span style='width:100%;font-weight:bold; font-size:10px'>Out of Character</span> <table class=ooc><tr><td>Mia (Winter), 81379 This is a 'for fun' rp. Anyone interested in evil deeds, chaos magic, and living dead, feel free to join in. Note that all travellers will be prey unless they can prove themselves either servants, equals, or incredibly powerful compared to/to these dark beings... :D </td></tr></table> <span style='color:yellow'>We'd like to know why we're here Jepaj...</span> Muttered the beast, standing alongside his dark twin in the ruins of a village long since forgotten. <span style='color:red'>Patience my beastal friend, for the ritual is soon to commence. I called you here because I require your darkness. Your hatred for life, your relentless when killing, your urge for destruction... We only need blood, fresh as possible, there plenty of travellers in this region...</span> <span style='color:purple'>That doesn't explain much Rider, we want to know what you need us for. I don't feel like standing here watching the night slip away. Our hosts might take control again, and then your plan will be ruined.</span> The Chaos Rider grinned. He was sitting on a piece of rubble swinging his legs back and forth childishly. The twins stood before him, the beast hunched forward, leaning on his knuckles, his claws digging into the sand, and The Dark One standing calmly, holding his partisan's blade to the ground, the shaft upwards against his back. <span style='color:red'>I know I know, but we have to wait at this location. We first have to take the victim alive, then pour the blood onto the altar. As much of it as possible. If the blood clots the ritual will fail, and I know you two can't contain yourselves when after prey...</span> The Dark One sighed, and twirled his partisan around, to bury the blade in the ground and lean his head on the butt. The Beast growled, but soon went silent, and sat down in the sand, digging a pit for himself to lie in...
a dark 'dragon seemed to meld with the shadows. The only thing visible of him was his glowing eyes and his shininh teeth which were bared into a snarling face. For him, this was a bit to close to Krokoni to be safe, so at any sight of a "normal" as he called them, he hid, though he was perfectly capable of taking them down.
<span style='color:red'>Dark... Hmmmm Do you two think we should risk trying a dark entity? If the blood is tainted in any way we'll have to wait till the next ritual time...</span> The two had sprung up to attention. <span style='color:yellow'>Let us go! I need to feed or I'll wither away to nothing!</span> <span style='color:purple'>I agree, it's now or never...</span> <span style='color:red'>Fine Fine, go ahead...</span> They stormed off, The Beast in front, The Dark One not far behind. Both were pouring dark energy like a river, and filled with the need to kill something...
Drsuj, who had felt the tension and need to kill that emenated from them, sprung out from behind the rocks and began to follow them at a distance.
<span style='color:purple'>Fool...</span> Muttered The Dark One, and bolted after Drsuj, quickly followed by The Beast. The Beast was soon in front, and growled as toxic drool flew from his jowls, lower tusks, and three rows of razor sharp teeth. <span style='color:purple'>Don't forget, we need to take him alive! We need fresh blood!</span> The Dark One began leaping into the air, so that his pace matched that of The Beast. They quickly moved to Drsuj, and he was met with a leap from The Beast, his jaws open wide to devour him whole...
drsuj sprung back sideways from them. Hie eyes held a wild look in them now as he smirked at the evil ones. His tail lashed with impaitence as all he now seemed to be having with them was a staring contest. He roared angrily and launched at The Dark One. His teeth sank into his flesh and as the fresh blood hit his tounge, Drsuj reverted back to his entierly primal form.
The Dark One grinned, and let him have it. Dark Energy, as deadly as any poison, flowed through the wound, filling the air in a dense cloud that hung without drifting away. The Dark One stood in the middle of the cloud, chanting something inaudible, and a strange cage made of purple energy started weaving it's way around Drsuj. The Beast dearly wished to lunge at him and tear him limb from limb, but busied himself with prowling around the cage, preventing escape as the cage continued to form, soon to cut off all chance of escape...
Drsuj stood there, eyes glowing as he allowed the cage to form, he did not seem to mind the dark energy flowing about him and in fact, ...he was.....smiling? yes, he was smiling! His eyes warily watched the Beast. He wasn't afraid, it was only in his nature.
<span style='color:purple'>Lets get back...</span> Muttered The Dark One, and with a wave of his partisan, the cage lifted off the ground, still containing Drsuj, and it hovered back to where The Rider was siting by some unknown ancient magic. <span style='color:red'>Excellent</span> Muttered Khuyt as the cage dissapated, dropping Drsuj lightly to the ground in front of him. <span style='color:red'>Lets begin...</span> He drew a strangely shaped dagger from his side and raised it above Drsuj, his dead eyes staring down at him with anticipation. He brought the dagger down with a flash, but the blade passed right through Drsuj's skull and out his right side, leaving Drsuj apparently unscathed. Khuyt cradled the knife close to himself, as if to protect the shining red substance that now coated the blade, before letting it drip onto the altar in the middle of the plaza, and creating a strange black portal. Khuyt seemed pleased at this however, and lightly hopped onto his Hoverbike. He eased it into the portal, and was soon consumed by the strange black substance that formed it. The Dark One and The Beast followed not soon after, side by side, yet after they vanished the portal remained open, a gaping hold in reality that just dared Drsuj to follow...
Drsuj smirked as the dagger passed through him and dived right into the portal after them. The portal closed almost immediatley after him. He semmed to be falling in a whirlpool of dark energy but he could always see the three in front of him.
Khuyt looked back and nodded that Drsuj was following. The Dark One and The Beast had already noticed but decided to try and play a cruel trick on the being, by letting him follow until a crucial point, then planning to kill him. They emerged in a stone corridor that would be familiar to Talon, if he were in control. The three began trudging down the corridor, until they came to a part block of by rubble. A few key words by Khuyt, and the rubble cleared, Letting them walk into a large chamber, a high domed ceiling, covered with spiderweb cracks making it seem as if it would collapse at any moment. A throne sat in the center of two pathways, each equally dark and frightful. There were two mummified corpses lying on the ground, brandishing partisan/axe weapons in a deathly guard of both pathways. The Dark One muttered a few more words under his breath and the two corpses sprung up, grinning at their master with diobolical hanging jaws. They followed the group into the right pathway, one staying behind to guard the entrance, a vile plot by The Dark One to toy with Drsuj until they were ready for him. The mummy stood stock still, seeming lifeless until Drsuj wandered close enough, and then it would spring to life and attack him. The res of the group headed further into the ancient pyramid buried far below the village...
Drsuj turned a corner and saw the guard at the doorway. He stood and stared at it slightly. As confused look crossed his face as we wandered slowly closer, but not within striking range. He stared at it somemore before suddenly, faster than mortal or immortal eyes could see, he sprang foreward and delivered a fatal slash directed at it's neck, slicing it almost clean off.
The mummy staggered backwards, it's magic animated limbs flailing wildy for a few moments as it regained it's balance. Then, as if by magic, which it more than likely was, the mummy flopped it's hanging head over and the dead flesh healed good as new. Fur and brand new flesh animated by magic now covered the previous wound, connecting two mummified parts. The mummy roared, now having vocal cords to roar with, and it charged forwards, hacking and slashing artifully in a series of movements taught by long dead anubi combat masters...
Drsuj jumped backwards and pounced upon the mummy. He trapped it, face down in the ground, with his four paws. He had gotten a few cuts and scratches, but, he now saw an open passageway to take. He jumped to that passage and began to take it. <span style='color:blue'>I'm with you Drsuj</span> said a light, female voice inside his head. He spun around quickly. <span style='color:red'>Thi?</span> The voice laughed trillingly. <span style='color:blue'>Yup, I've been watching. I'll be here ready with light energy if you need it.</span> He smiled slightly, happy that it wasn't at least, just him up against those three.
Khuyt chuckled. <span style='color:red'>It seems they got past your guard Dark One, losing your touch?</span> The Dark One said nothing, but mumbled a few more words and two daemons wriggled free of the heiroglyphs and stood, guarding the narrow pathway with spiked, curved swords. The group continued on, and the mummy far behind who was knocked down by Drsuj, got up, his few wounds healing with brand new flesh, and snarted trudging down after Drsuj, not going to let his prey get away so easily...
Drsuj continued t'words The Dark one. When he entered the same room as them, he stopped as he saw the two demons and the sketetal guard as it entered behind him. He snarled as the three closed in on him. He whipped his tail at the skeleton and grabbed one of the demons in his jaws as he tried to jump over the other. The first one wiggled free as the second grabbed him and pinned him to the floor, now the other demon joined the fray, grabbing one of his arms and spreading it next to him and the skeleton doing the same to the other arm. The other demon sat atop him. Drsuj snarled angrily. Inside his mind, but out of harm's way, Thi created a blast of light energy but hold it off until she saw what was happening or until one of them came closer.
The Dark One laughed. <span style='color:purple'>It seems these meddlers don't know when to lie down and die!</span> Khuyt laughed, but The Beast only watched the fight, silently. Khuyt wiped a mock tear and grabbed a desert eagle. <span style='color:red'>Looks like we'll have to mexecute them in a most unholy way... Too bad, they would have made good sacrifices...</span> He fired three times, the chaos magic enhanced bullets piercing through both daemons and the skeleton's head. Khuyt smirked, and snatched The Dark One's partisan. The gem near the blade turned a bright red, and before long, a string of chaos energy was zig zagging along the floor towards the two. He would have to take care of Thi himself, because otherwise her light energy would take out his allies. Chaos magic would soon sort her out anyways...
<span style='width:100%;font-weight:bold; font-size:10px'>Out of Character</span> <table class=ooc><tr><td><span style='color:gray'>*hint hint nudge nudge* Thi is physically there. She is using telepathy through Drsuj. duh. she is well out of harms way.</span></td></tr></table> Drsuj jumped as the demons died. His jaw opened as a blast of light energy burst into a shotgun like attack. A few shots hit The Beast and The Dark One. A few hit Khuyt. but that didn't matter much. Drsuj shot straight for Khuyt, bypassing the other two. He knew Thi's attack would allow them to come to their senses.
<span style='width:100%;font-weight:bold; font-size:10px'>Out of Character</span> <table class=ooc><tr><td>Don't blame me for being oblivious! :D </td></tr></table> Khuyt growled, he wouldn't let this one creature take out his allies that he needed to complete the ritual! He tossed Talon's partisan back to The Dark One, and spread his arms out wide. With a roar he began moving his hands back and forth towards drsuj lightning fast, and each time his hand reached the closest point to Drsuj, a blast of red chaos energy would form and launch from his hand. The end result was a hail of red energy blasts powerful enough to demolish Drsuj with only a few direct hits. The Dark One and The Beast let out a single, joined roar, and a mass of purple sludge was soon moving along the walls, roof, and floor towards Drsuj, preventing him from jumping off the walls and floor to avoid Khuyt's chaos blasts. They knew unless there was a miracle Drsuj would be dead in less than a minute...
All at once, Thi surrounded Drsuj with light energy. It deflected the dark energy and chaos energy blasts. Drsun ran straight towards The Dark One, seeing him as the greatest threat. He ran headfirst into him as his tail whipped around and caught The Beast directly in his stomach.
