A World Untamed...

[Lady_Siren]

OOC: sorry I haven't written I haven't been online

IC: Drusilla watched Lokken quietly glad that someone was capable of healing him. She disliked seeing him in pain. Sometimes she wished he wasn't with her, he was always in danger and she didn't know what she would do if something happened to him. But in the end she was happy he was here. he was a good companion and a good friend.

Sabaka felt like lauhging, a cruel and unintentional laughter, but laughter all the same. He paused, wondering what this woman was really thinking. She couldn't save her brother by being a prisoner to this man.
"Listen, Gaia, is it? Gaia, this man who has captured you is evil. Whatever promise he gave to you, he is already thinking of several ways to break it. Your brother isn't safe if that man wants him dead, believe me."
He walked over to the extent of the bars, looking about. Something seemed to be occupying the guards pretty well, he was thankful for that.
"This man isn't just going to keep you here. He is going to torture you, tie you up, ravish you, violate every orafice in your body, mutilate you, consume you, and then leave you to his minions as soon as his own fantasies are taken care of.
"Think about it, hundreds of guards, who have only heard of a woman will come to you. Creatures whom you haven't even seen before will take you, will rape you, will make it so that you will be in a living hell.
"And after all that. After the screams and the fights, and the breaking of your own spirit, he will come back, and he will kill you."
Sabaka paused. He let it sink in. He had been here before, only once, and knew what went on. This was no man, it was an inhuman monster.
"I am offering you a chance to go back to your home, and get away from here. You can go to help your brother, or back to those people whom you were with before . Hell, you could just go back and live in the forest forever, I don't care. We can leave tonight, and you could be back to your normal life by sunrise... otherwise."
He looked up at the prison walls, which were now covered in mossy vines, but the stone stuck through apparently. The room spoke his last part for him.

 

[Rockingham]

Dead apprentice? Oh no, he had gotten in over his head. Something was horrible wrong. He had to cut the act, or face something worse than a dungeon cell.
"Ok, ok ok. I am sorry, I don't know the Rockingham you are talking about, but I am surely not him. I am a different Rockingham, I think. I just came here with...." he almost said with Sabaka, but he stopped himself," with the purpose of travelling through your land in order to go to the other side."
What was on the other side of the forest? He had never even heard stories of such things.
"I wanted to see what was out here, thats all. Then your guards captured me, and I was placed here. Obviously this Rockingham of yours was important to you, and I don't want to bring bak old memories, so if you just release me, I will be on my merry way."
He smiled.

Robert Sith:

With a nod from Sith, one of his guards approached Rocky quickly, tugging his head back by his hair, exposing his neck. The guard pressed the cold edge of a knife to the boy's throat, not drawing blood, but making sure Rocky could feel the biting steal. "Release your guise, tell me who you really are, and who sent you! Or you will be skinned alive!" Sith hissed.

 

[Morgoth]

Lokken pointed north. "I sense a lot of magic being used up there", he said.

 

[Moonlight_33]

Kitt

Lifting her head to face the breeze, Kitt could feel the magic. It left a trail that would be easy to follow if they moved fast. Looking to the other members of this rather mixed mixed group, she simply nodded, and began walking North, there was no more time to be waisted.

 

[LAVA GODDESSS]

Gaia

Suddenly, I pulled the man to me, the area in which he just sat collapsed.

"Apparently, you do not know me." I wish I had time to tell him who I was, so he could understand, but we didn't have that time.

"I need my staff. I am useless without it, my powers aren't as great."

Waving my hand in behind me, where the wall just collapsed, the gnarled wooden bark began to grow and seal that exit.

"I am much obliged for what you have done."

We began to crawl. "I believe, from what the plants tell me..." He looked at me oddly about that statement. "Just follow that shoot, It has found a way out. I have to go back."

He just sat there, "unless you are willing to come, and I can't take responsibility for that." I tugged the shirt he had given me down. I smiled at the bear, wishing I had my staff, then the little bear would be of great use to me.

 

[poohlive]

Sabaka stared at her, she did have a great heart. He hoped whoever her brother was appreciated her. He smiled, although not energetically about the point.
"I do wish you the best of luck in here then," he said, apologetically, "I would say it would be nice to see you again, but the odds of that aren't too great anymore. Goodbye gentle lady."
He crawled through the vent again, this time pausing half way through. Why was she being so stubborn? He didn't think her brother could be in so much trouble. Damnit, why couldn't she just have left with him. He could have at least made her safe. Her brother would have a good chance as well, better than what they both had now. He could just see her brother along with some friends running out into the desert foolishly right at this moment, hoping to save her. They would all die, Sith would make sure of that.
Some people are just so stubborn.
and yet, in his mind he was already thinking of a way to help her. With her staff, perhaps she would have some power against Sith. He could find it relatively easy...
NO! She didn't want help, and he would not give her something she doesn't want. He would just have to collect Rocky and get out of here.
ROCKY!
There he was. Oh no, and it greart peril too. Sabaka watched intently.

 

[Rockingham]

Rocky felt choked. The knife pursed into him, and it hurt. His entire neck felt as if it were on fire, he didn't like being in here anymore. He wanted to go home, and get away. He began pushing himself to the end of the cell, but the guard and Sith pulled him towards the bars.
"Let go of me," he cried, trying to fend them off. The knife was pressed deeper, blood oozing out onto his shirt. He couldn't breathe, they were so close. His eyes, his haunting eyes were upon him.
"LET GO OF ME!!!" He screamed placing his hands to the bars. In a brilliant flash everyone was knocked to the ground. Rocky hit the back of his cell in a ball of pain. He couldn't stand, and could barely move from where he was. The bars were gone, not disappeared, a black musty powder was left. He looked oddly at his hands, what had he done? He didn't know he could do that, he didn't even know that could be done.
He just wanted to be left alone.

 

[Lady_Siren]

Drusilla glanced to the North where Lokken pointed. She too felt an undercurrent of magic coming from that direction. She watched Kitt began to head north and she began to follow her deciding that that was the best place as any to start.

 

[LAVA GODDESSS]

Gaia

My eyes looked around wildly when I felt the castle shake. Without a word, I ripped through the wall and had it collapse, the plants seemed to have read my mind. It was odd. I felt like one with them.

They did things before I knew I wanted them done.

I threw my body out into the cell that once imprisoned me. I pulled the man out with me. He had to help me. I didn't know why....he just had to. he had a connection here too...


Hastily, within seconds, I was drawn to the magic. The walls crumbled as the vines tore at them and knocked them away. I felt possessed in many ways. I had no realization of what was going on. A vine whipped from one of the ceilings, I placed my hands in front of me and the door was gone in what seemed, the wall was ripped away.

I looked at the man. I blinked, my eyes, their solid color changed from the human eyes that I once had.

My motions were eratic and quick. With that, I took to the hallway. The vines linked to my wrist and pulled me throught he hallway, as if I was back in the forest. I Felt the man right behind me...

That is when I burst through a wall and was next to a man. And my captor.

 

[Ravenloft]

Brendan:

Pushing past them all, he had a satchel slung over his back as his jaw set in a determined line. They had pointed the way, the sooner they got there, the more chance his sister would go unharmed. At least that was his hope.

Robert Sith:

Sith had fell to the floor in a crouch as he had sensed the sudden forming of magic in the air. Debrise showered over him, leaving him unscathed for the most part. His guard was not to lucky. A sizable length of the bars had impaled the man through the chest. He lay limply against the far wall of the dungeon. Sith lifted from his crouch once the explosion stopped ringing in his ears. He looked about to see his guard dead, then Rocky crumpled, in pain against the cell wall, finally, that blasted Druid again! She must have broken out of her cell... With a snarl, Sith shot his hand up to point at her, and wave after wave of energy shot through her. It sapped her warmth, made her very bones grow cold... She slumped to the ground with a wail of pain, the iceiness coursing through her blood debilitating her...

Blinking, Sith turned to look down upon Rocky. "You... ARE him!" Sith breathed in awe. He crouched in front of Rocky. "Rockingham!" Siths eyes took on a fatherly sort of quality. He helped the boy to his feet. The nip of his guards blade upon Rocky's throat still bled, but it was easily healed. There were a few other minor scrapes and abrasions from the explosion, surely there were some on Sith, himself as well. A simple elixir from his larder would see to all that though. "Come, my boy! I will see you well treated from now on!" The exuberance in Sith's voice was Unmistakable. There would be time for questions about the past ten years, since Rocky's supposed death later on, now he would see to Rocky's comfort.

[poohlive]

Ooc: Wait, Ravenloft, didn't Lava's character join Rocky and Sith? I am not too sure, but I think she did. And speaking of character's where is everyone?

 

[Lady_Siren]

OOC: I'm here just right now at a loss about what to write.

 

[LAVA GODDESSS]

pooh is right...I did...

 

[Moonlight_33]

OOC: I'm walking north, wating for the others to catch up

 

[Ravenloft]

OOC: She and I must have posted at the same time then. I went back and edited for the moment.

 

[poohlive]

Sabaka doesn't have much to do except watch for the moment, but beware... lol.

 

[Rockingham]

Rocky looked at the poor girl. Hey, wasn't that one of Sabaka's shirts. He was sure that it was, a bright smile came over him, but it hurt. His entire body ached, he put it past him however, and kneeled down next to the woman.
"Don't worry. I'm here to help. I will save you from this place."
Rocky stood up, looking back at Sith. Sith thought he was some apprentice or something, well for the time being it did work out pretty well. Rocky always wanted to know magic.
He looked down at his hands, or maybe he already knew it.
Anyway Rocky nodded towards Sith.
"This woman is a friend of mine, I would like it if she got a better cell than down in the dungeon."
He stepped from the debris, so much destruction from such little hands. Power was always an unmistakable enemy.
He shook away the silly daydreams and waited to be led into another series of lies. He might do better at this one though.

 

[LAVA GODDESSS]

Gaia

*back in the forest....the temperature dropped, suddenly, and unnaturally****


I felt a hand at the small of my back, my body leaned over my folded legs.

My head whipped up. My eyes intensely brown. I sneered.

With a great breath, the forest seemed to build itself. The doorway was completely blocked off within seconds. The harsh wood aged and petrified.

My head was lowered and my body ached. Oh so badly....I shook violently.


The exits were sealed and not just sealed with the growth, but with the magic that my druid blood had seemed to pour forth.


I felt the man's hand at my back even more. His words of getting me out of there rained through my mind.

Closing my eyes, and trying to use my will to get myself to stand. The man helped me.

I stared at the man, "An acquantance?"

I asked, my voice low and threatening.

I reveled with the idea of slinging vines around his windpipe and slowly choking him to death, or planting a deadly flower somewhere on his person. Allowing him to suffer.

 

[Ravenloft]

Robert Sith:

"The woman is my captive, I am afraid... But... For you, Rockingham... I will see her quartered in a more... civilized manner..." Sith said, diplomatically to Rocky. He shifted his gaze over to Gaia then. Smiling slightly at the sight of her scowl. "Drop your spell, NOW!" He commanded of her.

 

[Morgoth]

Lokken also began to walk northwards.

 

[Moonlight_33]

Kitt

At the edge of the forest, Kitt paused and waited for the others to carch up. It felt wonderful to be out in the open again, where she could feel the breeze, and see the open sky. She could feel the cold dead blood than now ran through her veins, and it saddened her to think this might be the last day that she will see such a sky, of feel this soft grass under her feet. Closing her eyes, she lifted her face to the wind.

"Mother, The time of judgement has come for me, forgive me."

A single tear ran over her cheek and fell to the grass at her feet.

KITT'S MOTHER "DELL"

Stretched out and warming herself in the sunshine at the entrance to her cave in the valey of the dragons, Dell cought the wisper on the wind and she knew at once that Kitt was in dire trouble. She had felt the shift in the balance of the world, in the very nature and order of things, but it didn't affect her, for if it had, the council whould have informed her of it. She opened her mind and searched for the only hatchling she had ever birthed and still lived, finding her to the west, and feeling her need. She went at once to the council chambers to request permission to go in search of her daughter, but stopped bfore she reached it. Since Kitt was an outcast of her own making, permission would never be granted. A mothers love for her child is stronger than any law of society, and she took to the air, spreading her golden wings wide and heading west.

 

[Rockingham]

She gave him such an odd look when he said aquaintenance. He didn't mean any disrespect. In truth he had never seen this woman before in his life, and yet he felt as if he did. She looked very familiar indeed, like someone he saw once before. In any case she was in trouble, and he was doing what he could to help her.
"Thank you," he said to Sith. His arm was still around her, it was becoming harder and harder for her to stay on her feet. He wondered if she was truly all right. He wanted to stay and help her, perhaps even be with her a while longer. This feeling, just as he had felt when he wanted to go into battle kept gnawing at him, it was here again. He didn't want to leave the side of her, especially knowing she was hurt.
He had to go though, Sith wanted him to go. Rocky hugged her oddly, whispering in her ear, "I'll be back"
He carefully put her into the arms of two guards.
"Shall we start by you telling a story?" Rockingham said, trying to be sneaky and caniving about the whole situation again, "About this apprenticeship and more. I am afraid my memory has been a little faulty."

 

[LAVA GODDESSS]

Gaia

I scowled at the man, then my eyes became an indifferent stare. My body was on the verge of collapse but the man held me up.

"I will not." I responded to his commanding me to drop my spell. "It is not me. "


The man , the one who held me up, handed me over to the guards. "I can stand."

I braced myself on the wall. The thoughts of releasing all I had on the man were nagging at my soul.

I needed my staff.

I was confused at all of this.

I began to hum as I saw the evil coniver come towards me.

The walls were petrified solid. I saw him glare at me. I winced.

Closing my eyes, I tried to talk to my brother using the forest. To tell him to be careful. To tell them where I was, that is when I got the idea to send Bear back. To lead them here. Well, wherever 'here' was.

I opened my eyes. I tilted my head. I smiled at his dissatisfaction. He hissed the orders again.

I raised my eyebrows in questioning. I began to speak, however, the words out of my mouth were not my tounge. I frowned. I tried again. Then it hit me. My native druid tounge had returned to me. Something was going on.
