Soul Blader

*my old storybook seems to be dead, so I decided to try a new one*

plot: The world is divided into two great empire's the East and the West, which have been at war for as long as anyone can remember. The war has been going on for so long that no one remembers why it started. In fact the whole thing was engineered by a group that has kept to the shadows, manipulating the war whenever it seems peace will finally come, and so the war has gone on for the past 300 years.

About 20 years before present day, an ancient ruin is unearthed in the Waste, an almost uninhabitable region where only the bravest dare to tread. When the ruin was discovered the empires learned of the Soul Bladers, humans that housed legendary magical weapons inside their own bodies. It was said that the Soul Bladers were wiped out, but an old prophecy in the ruin foretold that they were reincarnated once every 4,000 years, when the planets aligned. They would be reborn in the decades surrounding the realignment.

With a scant four years left before all the Soul Bladers were born, both Empire's set out to find as many of them as possible. Having realized that the Soul Bladers would hold the key to the end of the war.

The story begins about a decade and a half after all the Soul Bladers are born. Will you stand with the nomadic East, or the advanced technology of the West?

A cunning tactician, Saia has her own, very strange honor code, and will follow it even when it clashes with the Empire's rules.

*alright that's it, i'll also make a DT after this post, just one thing a couple of you forgot to list your soul-blades name and ability. keep in mind it can be anything from teleporting to blowing things up*

Saia-

She was fuming. How dare the council call her back to question her about her squad's death. Granted her personality made her a suspect as the council tried to hunt down the spy. But to accuse her of setting up her own squad, and then have the GALL to send her out on another mission.

"We think there's a soul-blader near the Waste outposts." She mimicked the council as she struggled to get her temper under control. The bracelet on her wrist sparked and flashed as its light tuned to her emotions. "Only a soul-blader can catch a soul-blader now that none of them are children anymore. Take a few of the other Blader's and head for the outpost, make sure you get their before the East does."

She stopped when she saw General Astaris turn the corner. Taking a deep breath she calmed herself, letting the mask fall in place and closing off her emotions. "Hello Father. I take it you were responsible for sending me on this mission?" Saia greeted him cooly.

"Of course I did you are my daughter after all. And if they send that Ross boy with you don't let him show you up. This is just his kind of mission."

Saia rolled her eyes, really his machinations were starting to get old. The man had been too long away from the battlefield. He was completely immersed in the court politics. "I've never met him, but who knows? I may even like the guy."

She watched her father's face turn an interesting shade of purple, before smiling impishly and walking passed him into the briefing room where she would meet the others. Saia game him a sarcastic salute before closing the door in his face.

Sorry I forgot to put my Blade's name. It's Wyre

*okay everyone can start now, I've already posted my first part and i've made the discussion thread here's the link*

post319078.html#319078

" Well, it's too bad that some of you aren't going to make it today." The Eastern Prison warden said from his balcony down to the courtyard full of prisoners in white overalls." Since of overpolutation, the council has decided to make the order of executing anyone who breaks the rules. But which rules ?Why, MY RULES!" He looked at the four other balcony's and saw that the gaurds were in position. The warden took out a man who was trembling in fear.

" this man helped scumbag like you...that broke my rules." The warden then took the crossbow and aimed it at his own citizen's head...and pulled the trigger. The man flew in the air and was pinned to the wall. A grisly reminder.
" Since you all broke my rules by living...I will make sure you will not live anymore." The warden then aimed his crossbow at the first prisoner. All the gaurds took aim. The men stood still, knowing it was usless.
There was a whistle. The warden looked at the balcony in front of him to see one of the gaurds fall off the roof with a arrow in his back. In his place was a man in a hood and Banadanna. The hood covered his entire body and the Bandanna was wrapped around his mouth, the only thing identifying him was his red eyes. The man looked at the warden and motioned his head upward.
The warden looked up to see a arrow stucked to the wall with a grenade attached inside a sack with shards of glass in it." Oh son of a..."
The man launched a arrow in the air and it landed on the grenade, sending the shards of glass in the air and stabbing the warden everywhere, killing him instantly.
The gaurds of the rest of the balconies saw that their was sack's just like the warden's. The guard's saw the Man aim his arrow at one of the sacs. they threw the crossbow's into the courtyard and layed down on the ground.
He did the same to the other balconie and they did the same too.
" He...Freed us." One of the prisoners gasped in awe. The Man then diseappered into the shadows...but not forever.

**updated my soul blades name and ability in profile**
[Zya]

Zya was in an old oak tree near the Waste outposts, smirking. She had just stolen about a hundred dollars off the street, easy.

She recalled the memory with satisfaction, remembering the frozen faces of the people when she brought Elrissu into play. It had only taken a couple of moments, she had simply slowed the speed of her ten foot radius to a crawl and raided the wallets and purses of pedestrians.

She leafed through the money, knowing it would pay for at least a months worth of food if she was careful.

I have got to stop doing this, she reminded herself, knowing that the East and West might already be aware of her presence. When everything within 10 feet of someone freezes, it doesn't go unnoticed. But she had been so hungry...

She twisted Elrissu on her out of habit and hoped the consequences weren't too bad this time.
