Italicizing your text is not necessary. :) And how do you know my name is Heimdall? To you, I'm just a random Ulitharid.


Heimdall tensed his muscles, but he knew that dodging the bird's killing blow would be out of the question. The Condor reared back, ready for a jab powerful enough to tear a hole right through him. Heimdall chose that moment to initiate a preemptive strike on the Condor's body. He lifted a pebble off the ground and sent it flying straight at the Condor's neck. The Condor squawked as the pebble bounced off and left a small bloody patch. Heimdall scrambled to his feet. Telekinesis. That's the answer. I can't take it down mentally and I'm weak physically. But telekinesis...

Heimdall lifted up 5 pebbles around him. As the Condor ran towards him, Heimdall sent the pebbles spinning around him. They whizzed around him, fixed in a circular orbit. The Condor ran straight into the whirling stones and recoiled. Heimdall smiled. Then, he released each stone, one by one, as the momentum of the spinning stones sent them flying straight at the Condor like stones from a sling. One by one, they found their mark. One of them pulverized an eye; another three embedded themselves in the bird's body. The Condor stepped back and teetered as the final stone ricocheted out and made contact with it right between the eyes. It fell down with a thump and did not get up.

Heimdall panted, tired. Keeping those stones spinning was no easy task. He took a glance around him. Veneficus had his eyes closed and was sitting on the floor. The five magicians around him had weapons out and were busy defending themselves and Veneficus from the birds' blades. The two Condors attacked with beak and claw, but their attacks were blocked or evaded. Heimdall ran towards them, but even as he watched, a lucky talon managed to mortally wound a magician. The circle tightened. Heimdall sent a stone hurtling at the nearest Condor, but his concentration faltered and the stone flew off into the sky.

Veneficus suddenly opened his eyes. His fingers twitched and then pointed to the Condor closest to him. An abyssal vortex was released from his fingertips, trapping the Condor in a pocket of eternal darkness. Then, the abyss closed in on itself, imploding into a tiny point which faded away. The Condor was no more. The remaining Condor took to the skies. Heimdall took a dagger from a magician and propelled it up towards the bird, rapidly rising towards the sky. The blade plunged into the underside of the bird. It shrieked in pain as the bloody dagger fell off.

The injured bird flew out of sight. "Nothing we can do about it now," said Heimdall. Then, he noticed them. Recluses. Everywhere. Flesh Recluses swarmed by the hundreds, crawling over themselves to reach a whirling figure far away from them. Is that... a Golem?

Taking advantage of the distracted Astariel, Xanriel has his Ray of Lights target her, launching themselves at her wings to pummel them, knocking her off course. As the motes of light drew withing feet of her wings, they stopped cold, their lights beginning to dim. In seconds they were nothing but dark gray husks, falling from the sky.
"You think that little trick is going to work again lover? Trying to distract me with your new little tart and her flying demon?"
Astariel coos as she turns. At first, the air around her seems to slowly darken, but upon closer inspection, Xanriel's jaw drops. Flying all around Astariel were thousands upon thousands of tiny Retrovirus's, each about the size of the nail on your small finger, summoned much in the same way that Exriel would summon Cells, or Xanriel himself would summon Rays of Light.

"How dare you talk about her like that... she's more then you ever were, or ever will be." Xanriel's eyes flared with anger as he summoned up more Ray of Lights, each shining into existance around his body, until he was surrounded by dozens of them. Leaning back into a more stable stance, one leg out, bent down on the other, his sword held behind him, Xanriel closes his eyes, his blade beginning to glow white hot.

"What's with all the dramatics my love?" Astariel asks, a hint of fear in her voice as the flying Ray of Lights begin to arrange themselves in a pattern around Xanriel, who's body itself has begun to glow as bright as his sword, "After all, she's mortal, she's just a play thing. You can barely tell she's half-angel."

His ears were deafened to her comments, for these were things he knew. He was not shocked to hear that she was part angel. In a sense, he always knew. As Xanriel's eyes slowly open, a bright white light shines from them, and as he speaks, the same white light spills forth from within his mouth. As his words come out, his body pulses with light, slowly taking on changes with each glow. His wings spreading larger and larger, shining the brightest gold, his skin becoming white as marble as his robes burst into flames. The flames reforming to create a shining suit of thin scale mail, covering his chest, biceps and legs, ending at boots on his feet.

"You have spoken of these matters for the last time. You will not speak of my Ward in such a crass manner. It is time to put a stop to all of this." Xanriel twists the hilt of his sword, the edge of the blade facing Astariel as the Ray of Lights begin to move, circling him in an excited manner.

"DESTINY STRIKE!" Slashing in a wide arc, a phantom blade of searing hot light flies toward Astariel, slicing a path through her Retroviruses like paper. Astariel quickly brings up her own sword to defend against the slash, but she realizes too late she has left herself open.

"HEAVEN'S JUDGEMENT!" Just as Astariel's blade deflects most of the blow from his Destiny Strike, Each of the Ray of Lights flies up into a pillar of light, then crashes down against Xanriel's shield, reflecting off of it at such a high speed that their energy is broken up into it's base form, reflecting off as a concentrated beam of light, cutting it's way through the air, the retroviruses, Astariel's blade and armour, and then finally her chest, bursting out the other side and into the battle field below, slicing a line through the ranks of the undead and then exploding, leaving behind a crater of cracked and useless bones, seared flesh, flaming feathers and charred necromancers.

Astariel's eyes went wide in shock, dropping her sword as she falls from the sky. Xanriel looks down with the judging eyes of a God, unphased by her death, like the falling of a leaf. In his true Master form, Xanriel felt no pity for those who had strain from the light to hide amongst the dead.

"May Miracle have mercy on your soul."

OOC: So in case I didn't explain it very well, at the moment Xanriel essentially looks like a ray of light formed into the shape of a man, except with facial features, gold wings and hair, and armour.

Hahaha   :life or  :death  (See what I did there :P)

Whichever works best for you all.  My original idea was to be a recruit training to be an Immortal, but I can slant the backstory another way.

I've been really busy lately...

I give my full permission to phase Zanthos out of the story, or drag him around, or have some other player control him, or whatever you want to do. Even create a new Master of Life... I guess.

@Seiya, might be easier and more fun to just take over one of the existing characters especially that you'll be reading through all the pages. I have to admit, I tried reading but skipped maybe half of the pages and just made quick reviews whenever I needed background info. So, good luck with the reading.

I don't think we should just phase Zanthos out of the story. Seiya, maybe you can control him. But anyways, I refuse to let go of Faustus, because I have really important plans with him in the future.

Quote
We need a villain within ourselves.
What do you mean by that? If you want a some sort of "traitor" within ourselves, then I say no. I don't like the sound of a Master betraying other Masters.

Editing.


The Reaper let out a blood-chilling hiss, and charged at Jonathan; but Jonathan was not about to let that large and sharp-looking scythe make contact with his neck. He was going to raise his sword and parry the strike, but then he realized something. The Reaper's scythe had a much longer reach than Jonathan's sword, and if he was to block the shaft of the weapon, the curved blade of the scythe would reach him nonetheless. Thus, he decided that the best defense was a good offense. Slashing his sword downwards viciously, Jonathan launched a wave of black and red energy at the Reaper.

The Reaper stopped abruptly and held out its skeletal left hand. It caught the full force of Jonathan's blast in its palm, and with very little effort crushed the attack into nothingness. Jonathan was not surprised; he didn't put much energy into that attack, and all he intended was to stop the Reaper's charge. Now that he had done what he wanted, Jonathan went on full offensive. Since the Reaper's scythe had a much longer reach, close-range combat was obviously not the best way of confronting the Reaper; Jonathan decided to crush the Reaper with one single powerful, decisive long range attack.

"Hell's Judgment!" Jonathan called up the vast reserves of darkness energy within his own body.

OOC:

I really like the idea of a traitor actually, as long as they came back to our side later, or at least allied with us in the final battle. In fact, I more than like it, I love it.

If he's going to take over Zanthos, then he may as well make a new character really

You may have plans for Faustus, but he hasn't done anything with the story yet, so he'd  be the easiest to phase out.

so here are my votes:

1: I love the traitor idea, and I'm all for it.

2: If he's going to take over Zanthos, then he should just make a new Master of Life, who really wants to play someone else's character.

3: Faustus would be the easiest to phase out, for sure, but since Minipika has so willingly volunteered, it makes more sense to take over the life position.

Hypothetically, before Sekhor had made a significant impact on the story, would you be willing to phase him out? I have this entire Jonathan-Nyxia-Malcolm-Eliza-Faustus-Necrosis thing planned out, so I really don't want to let go of Faustus.

I am generally not fond of traitors, especially one of the major characters. But this is open to discussion... Whom does the traitor betray us to? It's hard to imagine a Master betraying us to the Void. But remember, this is Wardead's idea; if he didn't mean to have a traitor, then I don't think we should have one.

OOC:

Yes. If someone had come along before I had come along before Sekhor had made an impact on the story, I would certainly have been willing to phase him out for the sake of a new, valuable player who seems more dedicated than most of our appliers.

I think the whole point of a traitor is that you're not usually fond of them. If anyone wants to betray the party for any reason at any time, there's not reason for them not to.

Is it ok if I join this story now? I know it's kind of late and such, and I still have quite a few pages until I get to 71 (about 47) and I'll try to do this as soon as possible!

The traitor idea is not that bad. I think we should let Seiya continue the Master of Life's journey. We could give her a summary. And what did Xanriel and Jonathan use in those battles? Weapons? Maybe I will make up my own weapon for this RPG, instead of Fahreinheit, ok? Or I could just use my hands and claws :P. And Faustus should stay or let someone continue through him. Umm...am I doing good with this RPG?


 :fire

Vaxyos charges onto the Flesh Recluses, stomping them with his own foot. Since they are a third of his size, he cannot bash them with his hands like he usually does. There are hundreds of them, all alike. And behind the Recluses is an Ivory Dragon. Single but powerful. Now he thinks he shouldn't bash all those spiders that quickly, maybe wait until the Dragon is gone? But the Dragon flies mid-air and arrives at the battle-field. Now he has two problems to deal with. He stikes the dragon with his own claws but nothing happens. He feels no pain. The dragon is made out of bones, nothing else, not even a brain. Vaxyos wonders "I wish there was a dog here, he could kill that Ivory dragon before I could!". He quickly drinks a Rage Potion and smashes his fist against the dragon. It flew apart and bones sprang everywhere into the air and also killing a number of Recluses within range of that hit. The remaining crawled away. But the hit also took away a number of his energy and gave him half of the damage he dealt to the dragon. He fainted but saw a glimse of light in the lands.

@Wardead: Supposedly, MaX has already winked most Ivory & Bone Dragons to oblivion. I guess one has escaped! Good thing you're there. :D

@Everyone else: I'm thinking since we're getting more applicants, we shouldn't stop at 12 Masters. Just like in the forum (i.e. outside this RPG), Masters can be challenged and replaced. If somebody can come up with a credible character to become a sub-master ally or apprentice, we can accommodate them. And then, sometime later on, there could be a Master's Challenge and Duel for the title. Or, they don't actually have to be masters right?
