Forgotten Truths

This costs a lot so I hope you guys like it.

(Forgotten Truths)

The world of Algen has had many ages, both dark and light. Currently the world is fragile. Alliances are stretched thin and chaos is beginning to rise. The kingdom of Galian is falling. There king, Ragnos, has fallen upon some spell. He is slowly going mad and so are his people. Elven clerics call it a disease falling down upon man, but many think different.

Ancient scripts tell of a darkness that was able to control the weak minded and the Death God Telu rising to power. It also tells of a few finding an ancient artifact from the gods of Truth and Mercy. It is said to have the power to repel the spell. It is unknown what the artifact was or if the story is even true, but many are beginning to believe so.

Galian is about to start a war that not many wish for. Not all are effected, but those weak are long lost. Balior is said to be their first target. What will happen to those caught in the middle.

Relentless in the pursuit of his goals (More as the story progresses)

history- Ray's father was a fairy and his mother an elf, as a result Ray never really fit in. His father dissapeared before he was born. He was born with a tattoo like birthmark on his back that look like his wings, when he concentrates the wings manifest. Ray is cursed in a way, his magical abilities come from a rune of power, (it looks like a glowing symbol on the back of his hand) the rune grants him almost limitless power, but at a great price. Whenever he uses it, it takes away a little bit of his life force, shortening his life span. Ray lives with the knowledge that any day could be his last and that he likely won't live past his twenty-fifth birthday.

Name: Caius

Age: 23

Race: Human

Gender: Male

Appearance-
Build: Incredibly slim, scrawny and lanky. He has very little muscle whatsoever.
Height: 6'
Weight: 110
Eye Color: Pale blue, with a hint of green around the iris'
Hair: Dark brown, worn just below his ears. Normally messy and shaggy.
Skin Tone: Naturally tanned skin.
Clothing: Normally wears darker clothing with black boots and a small bag he never lets out of his site. Will occasionally wear a hat/hood and a cape.
Other: A small pale scar on the jawbone just under his chin. More scars across the back oh his hands and on his fingers. Depending on how he feels when he wakes up, Caius will wrap a piece of cloth around his left middle finger to declare what his mood is. If his mood is in the extremes (extremely happy, sad, excited, depressed, etc.) he will tie a piece of cloth around a bit of his hair as well.

Country: Galian

Personality: He is quite, quite mad. His mood swings often, though never stays the same for more than two days. It normally switches at least twice a day. So his personality can never be declared as any set-and-stone thing except for insane. He can speak normally, and he can control himself to some point, but upon meeting him, it is easy to tell that there's something mentally wrong with him.

History: Caius grew up with his parents in a small town in the kingdom of Galian. His mother could easily be said to be equally as insane as her son, or vice versa, but no one was ever sure because his mother died when he was four. His father brought him up as best he could, often letting Caius run crazily through the streets of his town. Most people complained to his father daily about his behavior, more than one claiming that Caius had a mental illness of some sort. His father would hear none of it and began keeping Caius locked up in the house to prevent any more trouble. Then, after Caius had turned eleven and showed no signs of improving, a mage passed through the town. His father took Caius to the man and begged him to take his son as his apprentice. The mage agreed reluctantly and trained Caius until he was eighteen. In that time, not only did Caius show amazing skills in the art of sorcery, he also managed to learn to control himself, speak normally, and act more...normal. He now works as a part-time war-wizard, and a part-time adviser to his King. Though his time spent around Ragnos, who is slowly going mad himself, has not had positive effects on Caius, who in turn in starting to return to his old insanity.

Weapons/Magic: Caius uses sorcery, which branches off from magic in itself. Sorcery mainly focuses on Dark and offensive magicks, as well as a few defensive. For example, Caius can inflict and infect a wound. But he cannot heal it since that would require Light magic. He can concoct deadly poisons, but not love charms. He can hurl fireballs at an enemy, but he cannot cause a volley of arrows to turn to flowers. Though every spell he casts costs him some amount of energy. The harder/stronger/more complex the spell is, the more energy it requires. He can also use elemental magic, but not in the way most others would. He mixes elemental with Dark so that it isn't just pure element he's using. Along with his magic, Caius carries around a small silver dagger as a last defense, though the chances of him using it are very slim.

Other: As stated above, he wraps a piece of cloth around his finger depending on his mood, and occasionally his hair. He carries his cloth and all of his other personal belongings in a small bag he keeps with him at all times. He is also incredibly weak physically.

**Let me know if I need to change anything.

~Yakov

Yakov paced along the hall. He waited for the councils decision on action for the war with Galian. Though it wasn't definite, tensions were high. He only hoped Wilheart could convince them to do something. After an hour past Yakov lost his patience and was about to kick the door down when Wilheart appeared. "What did they say?"

"To watch undercover. You and I are to move to Balior. Its a key port if the Galian wish to start a war. We are to see there actions from there."

"Son of a- that's not good enough!"

"Calm down Yakov. It was the best I could do. The council doesn't want to risk anything. Go pack, we leave first thing tomorrow."
_________________________________________________________________________________________________

~Allen

Allen sat beneath a tree as he looked over his maps. "There's no mistaking it, if the wish to fight the Yurim navy they'll need a port along the Caren coast. Balior seems like a likely position." Before he could say anything else he saw someone coming down the road. He stood up to get a better look. He saw it was an elf.


She looked up at him and seemed slightly startled, but she quickly regained her composer. "can I help you?"

"Not really, simply getting ready to be on my way. I'm Allen, you?"

"Not that it matters, but I'm Leslia."

"I'm on my way to Balior. If we happen to be heading the same way would you like accompany me for a while. The land has become dangerous to travel."

"Strength in numbers eh."

"Precisely."

(Have at it)

Azrayel-

Ray leaned over the deck of the ship, his white-silver hair blowing behind him. The spray lifting into the air, he spotted a dolphin following in the wake of the ship. Twisting he glanced behind him, already the islands of Yurim were gone from sight, it would be at wouldn't be long until the ship made port in Balior.

He pulled himself off the rope ladder and stepped back onto the deck, sailors bustled around on deck and passengers stood around calmly. Most of them had been born on a ship, but now they were all tense. Fighters or at least people who knew how to defend themselves.

Even in the islands, rumours of war had reached people. Now the council had sent a select view to go to the main land. The six men, barely more then boys were to split up once they reached port. Find out what was happening and go home. Ray, with his, unique, abilities, had been a natural choice.

Sighing he shifted the scimitars at his waist and crossed the deck, he glanced back one last time, thinking the words he hadn't been able to say before he left. "I'll come back alive mom. I promise."
