"Well, glad to see we are all in a good mood! Nothing like abunch of magically inclined furries getting together to travel in an ancient dungion that will probably require alot of team work! And a pleasure to meet you, miss Danny. I suppose if it's birds you are after, try talking to the bird man over here," *I gesture to Cifero* "And what of you, Crycomancer? Yes, we all feel the chill in the air eminating from you. Whats your name?"(Wasn't I the first one to introduce myself?)
[Once we all know each other, then we will land at the island. Just wanna get formalities out of the way]
I don't want to, but I'm starting to wonder about if I'm useful at all. Heck, I've been wondering that about a lot of roleplays I've joined. My characters are always useless brats.)(Liar. You're always helpful. However, if you need practice, we could always train together.)
((Ummm... who are you? You're supposed to ask about joining in the OOC before posting... :/ ))
*DE glides almost silently through the air...only the light ruffle of feathers gave token to his presence....*
*Leaning on his spear, DE gazes at the dragon*
"A dragon?....how interesting..."
*The Bloodied was about to finish Shadis off when a lightning bolt struck him. He did not flinch or even show any signs of being hurt or in pain. Instead, he droped the now unconcous Shadis to the ground and turned his attention to Joseph. As he attempted to run forward and attack the Bloodied, Joseph suddenly crashed to the floor as his legs went limp on him. He felt absolutly nothing from them, not even a tingle. He reached to feel them, when his arms too went numb, and fell limp, compleatly paralyzed. His wings were the only part that could me, but the numbness began to spread throughout his body, shutting everything down. The Bloodied's voice cryptic voice echo'ed through Joe's mind* "I'll save you for... laterrrr..."Joseph tried to glare up at him. "Rgh... you bastard..." With those words he supposedly passed out.
"Yeah, you're about to be pretty useless!!!!" Joseph slammed into Scarlett, wrestling with her but not gaining any leverage nor disleverage against or from her. He stared at her with an intensity that shouldn't have been expected, knowing for a fact he couldn't beat her alone. Finally, he just let her come at him... but rolled slightly to the right despite his broken shins, then picked up cassandra and flew her out of the cave. He looked her over grimly. "Well, might as well try to heal her..." He gently placed both hands on her stomach since he thought it would be wrong to touch her chest, and let energy surge from him into her, healing about half of her injuries into surface wounds before collapsing. The more serious ones were still bleeding, but the damage was at least lessened.
(I will change this if you ask me.)
*The three lions smiled and giggled/chuckled lightly* "No no no, Silly Crat. You two are still very much alive and well. Go ahead, check your wounds. They are not there." *Cassandra and Joesph are both the picture of health. Not a scratch or bit of blood loss. Even scars that may have been there before were now healed.* [Unless you really want a specific scar to remain? Your call :) ] "You see, we are the mages of life. We have used our powers of the light and life to teleport you both here, out of danger. We are the dwellers of the Isle of Vita. Here we have lived since the creation of these islands, 7,000 years ago. We sensed the grave danger you all were in, and the great evil being unchained from The dreaded Isle of Hema. The vile fiend known only as The Bloodied has been foolishly freed by the very one who imprisoned him there, 5,000 years ago. Our only regret is that we failed to save you all. We could only save you two because you were not near the villian The Bloodied at the time of our coming. Shadis and Danny were too close to him, and his dark sorcery and pure evil intent negates our powers. So we all fear that Shadis and Danny are their prisoners now. There is little we can do."(Joseph had scars before this. Those will stay.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*The Bloodied, Scarlet, and Danny were now on the top of one of the damaged towers of the temple of the Isle of Hema. He and Scarlet both flexed and breathed deeply, or atleast attempted to, as neither one of them needed air to live. They both seemed to enjoy being outside, which was unusual. After a few moments, The Bloodied spoke to Scarlet through minds.* /begin gathering your strength through feeding from death. Then gather your undead minions. Preperation for The Day of Rea Seas must begin at once, before word gets out that we are freed./ *He then turned to Danny and looked at her with his black, souless eyes. He outstretched a paw and lifted her in the air to his level. It hurt like hell for her.* "You, healer. Your talents will be of use to me before the end. Serve me, and I will reward you with your life. Perhaps even alittle more. Refuse, and you will be torn apart before you can finish your sentence." *The pain of being lifted in the air was unbearable. Nearly to the point where one would say or do anything just to make it end.* "Also, to entice you, I can easily heal those little impailment wounds of yours." *He adds*
[Gahh! Dang it Aldrea! Even I want to power save you now! XD ]
*The three mages smile* "Thank you Joesph. These structures are indeed very beautiful, also very old. But still just as strong as the day they were built." *The five of them eventually reach the halls of testing. They arranged themselves in a half circle around Cifero and Cassandra.* "Here is how we will test you. One of us will reach out our right paw and it will begin to glow. You must strike it with the most complex and powerful spell you are capable of. Our magic will draw the attack in an absorb it, so no harm will be done to us. Cifero, since you seem the most eager, would you go first?" *The mage in the center causes his/her right paw to glow and reaches out. The other two back up."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Scarlet glared at Danny and rolled her eyes.* "Your lucky Master has taken an interest in you, else I would not be doing this..." *She then approached Danny, got very close to her, grabbed her wrist and pushed her against the wall. She held Danny in her surprisingly strong grip, Then gazed into her eyes. Danny could see the malice and evil glowing deep withing Scarlet's dark eyes. Then smiled, and opened her mouth. What came next was too horrifiing for anyone to wish to comprehend as three entrapped souls that Scarlet had absorbed were forched out from her open mouth and into Danny's. Danny's head exploded with the wails and screams of three troubled spirits as they were forced into her being. All of their thoughts and memories began to blend with her's, causing untold confusion. Finished, Scarlet released Danny and said,* "There, I have gifted unto you three of the souls of adventurers I have ensnared over the years. Use them as power sources to fuel your magic and you will find healing to be a breeze. Also, try ignoring the voices inside your head now." *She sneered as she walked away.*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*As they passed by to the lower levels, Shadis managed to whisper to Katka,* "T- take us to the Isle of Vita immediatly. It is our only chance of survival." *He and Don then retreated to the lower levels. Once in the Captains quarters, Shadis entered but did not sit down. Don closed and locked the door behind them. He looked at Shadis.* "Out with it man! What in Oblivion's name is wrong with you?!" *Shadis looked up with him with conflicted eyes.* "I am sorry Captain, but it must come to this. I'm too weak to survive, and only a Unicorn's blood and horn can heal me now... Good by." *Don then realisised what Shadis was up to. He immediatly went to draw his sabre, but Shadis was quicker. He drew one of his shortswords and drove it deep through Don's chest, impailing his heart. His silverly grey blood sprayed all over Shadis as he fell limp to the ground. Tantalized by the blood, Shadis knelt down, and began to feed.*
[Think of me what ever you like, but it was either the fat old unicorn or the powerful ancient Umbral Wolf :P Also, NO, Scarlet and Danny were NOT kissing! XP ]
(Darn. I was hoping they were. ;) )
(What fun would it be if I ignored it? ;) )(Darn. I was hoping they were. ;) )
Well, I guess they can if you want them too. I mean, romance IS allowed after all... X3
Also, sorry Cif. If I mess up, just ignore it XP
*The mage was hit with the full force of Cifero's strike, but the spell in it's hand compleatly negated all hard Joesph's attack would have done.* "Hmmm, not bad. Nothing too damaging, but already beyond and level of instruction we could give. You pass. Next, Cassandra. Please take his place and do the same."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Shadis had already gulped down a gallon of blood before the ship crashed into the ocean. He opened his red, blood lusting eyes and glared at the direction of Kayka. He closed them and concentrated. Suddenly, Katka found herself faliing down into blackness that seemed to come from nowhere. She spun around for what seemed like hours. It was highly nausiating. Then, she found herself falling back into existance, and into the Captain's Quarters. When all of the blackness was gone, She saw Shadis somehow clean of blood, standing over her. Don's body was mysteriously gone. He spoke.* "You, metallurist. Why have you thrown us to the sea? Do you not know the manor of creatures that lurk within? If one found us, we would be at the bottom of the sea in a matter of minutes. Ignore Don and his Fatal "heart attack" and get us back in the air, else you may suffer a similar fate." *His voice carried a tone of a threat, but one he did not want to fulfill.*
Danny groaned as she dragged the two limp bodies to her work area. Within minutes of starting her experiment, they'd taken to attacking eash other for flesh to use. They had managed to stumble on some needed things for her though, so that was good. Two halves of two brains, a lung, an eyeball, and four pounds of flesh sat beside her, a fairly good catch for two things without a single brain cell between them.
She set to work, attaching one part or another. Part of the trouble of bring rotted or rotting bodies to a usable state was that she often had to piece the bodies together like a puzzle. She had to heal things from existing tissue, even if it wasn't very big. She could duplicate organs or flesh, but that was far more tedious. Brains and hearts gave her the most trouble. If those rotted out too far, there'd be nothing to drive the body.
As she worked healer's magic to get the eye implanted in one of the bodies, she glanced around quickly. Much of what she'd need for even two full bodies had rotted away already, including intestines, windpipes, and the aortas. Without those, the bodies would be completely useless to even the most experienced necromancer, at least if they wanted any intellegence. Otherwise they'd be nothing but puppets: useless in a corner without a master. She sighed and poked the lung, thoroughly squicked out when fluid drained out. She'd have to fix that before she wove it in...
(I swear she isn't a necromancer. She manipulates energy to get the muscles to work, but has all of her focus on movement. Anything else is residual energy that her manipulation kicks up. ...If I hit godmodding, please tell me.)

scarlet watched a few feet away. this was interesting... very interesting. if she was crafty enough to use her life magic to control living cells... she may just be a bit of a threat. it would do well to treat her kindly.....
Scarlet cleared hwer throat. "i see you are not finished yet... but are further than i expected you to be..v these bodies were quite damaged..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cassandra began to eat... not too much... but little peices from here and little bits from there. she was not really comfortable eating other's food she did not watch them prepair...
Joseph looked over at Katka. "They do that," he said, picking up a rock and testing its weight. "Hmmm..." Suddenly, he chucked it at the Green Dragon, beaning the fox right in the back of the head and causing him to yelp. The crat shrugged. "Seemed like a jerk," he said.
scarlet smiled. "we already have a necromancer and a blood mage, but we are not at our strongest yet child. we have a bit of a way to go before we can do wht you are." she sent a mental shout to the souls in dany's mind and they shut up. "with them danny... be firm, dont let them think they can get away with pushing you around... they will hurt you if they feel you are weak."

cassandra let go of shadis and looked down. "ya... joesph.. hes right... they got her....."
