Mythical Creatures of Sada

Okay so I will do another synopsis for TNcowgirl and us all! This one is the same as the last one, with the added stuff of what has happened so far!

Here is a quick Synopsis of the Story as far as I can tell: So those of us below went to Rescue Scado. Whether you were with us in the beginning or not we set off to rescue Scado who had been capture by Lord Crayas, Meer's Father. Lethero - Scado's Father - asked us to because a threat has once again risen against Magical creatures and we need his son's help to stop it. Along the way we picked up an... assortment of magical creatures. Now back where Scado was being held another human named Adam, who is a companion of the Vampire Peace, was also captured so Peace sought us out so we could help rescue him as well. Meer went to visit the Prisoners because he didn't believe they were being held rightfully. With his influence he managed to trick the guards to "transfer" the prisoners. While they were on the road they ran into our party, and after a short skirmish (Let's be honest they didn't stand much of a chance), we killed the guards and freed the prisoners. Now we have to move, because Lord Crayas had wizards who will be aware that the prisoners have been gone and freed. We need to head back to Lethero to find out what to do (which will be hard because he is gone).

Added: So we rescued Scado and Adam, and found a new companion in Meer, who is a human by the way. We all started heading back when we were attacked by a Necromancer by the name of Korah. We don't know a lot about him besides that he works for the King. Korah summoned a large demon (think Balrog from LOTR), and he attacked us with 50 knights and 4 wizards. We fought them, but then Korah (The Necromancer), summoned zombies and the demon was doing some damage so we gathered together and retreated. Enraged he lost us Korah went to the town where Lethero (remember him? He is the old werewolf who started this whole thing) was at, hoping to capture/kill him and take a hold of the Blood Blade and Blood Armor. He couldn't find Lethero but he wiped out the whole town, and then went around telling everyone that magical creatures did it so they all hate us more (if that is even possible). So after traveling we have just arrived at the town to find it destroyed and almost everyone dead. The few humans who are left claim that a dragon did this and they saw it flying off with Lethero. Has he been captured? Killed? Did the Dragon really do it? We're not sure but we are heading out to find him...

And that is where our group is at, hope it helps!

Korah

Korah alighted onto the castle rampart, easily jumping off the demon's back as he turned to face the beast. "Rest for now," he ordered, "I will summon you when I have need." Reaching into his cloak Korah pulled out a silver amulet which he held up and began to chant a spell. A plume of fire wrapped around the demon, bathing it in flames. The fire suddenly leapt forward, flying toward the amulet and with a loud bang it was all sucked inside, taking the demon with it.

Seconds later only Korah stood out on the castle wall. Turning he strode back inside, moving rapidly through the corridors as he made way to the room he been given for his stay here. Rounding a corner Korah let out a groan as he saw Lord Crayas waiting by his door. "Half my knights!" the man bubbled, "you return with only half of my knights!"

"Yes, and I am so sorry about it," Korah answered as he rolled his eyes, "I will summon some undead to take their place if that is what you want."

Crayas flinched at the idea as Korah brushed past him and entered his room. "Please just tell me you aren't going to kill anymore!" the man begged as he followed the Necromancer. "Oh and you hear a dragon attacked some nearby village and burnt the whole thing to the ground."

"Really?" Korah answered, hardly amused, "I can hardly believe it."

"Neither can I," Crayas answered, "Do you think the monster will come here? Hopefully not, but if he does I have you..."

Korah mentally tuned the man out, wondering why he even bothered to let the fool live. A sudden idea popped into his head and he reached into his tunic and pulled out a small bell. Turning to Crayas he said, "Lord Crayas, you're an ass." Then he gave the bell a small shake as it's ring filled the room. The spell worked instantly, and only seconds after the bells sound died out a donkey stood where Crayas had been moments before. "Good," Korah said with a grin, "Now be quite and I won't eat you, maybe I will even turn you back someday."

The donkey didn't answer as Korah walked to a table at the end of the room and quickly lit four black candles. He grabbed a bowl from a nearby shelf and quickly filled it with water. Rummaging around he gathered a few more things, throwing some powders and other odds and ends into the bowl. Soon the water had turned black, the liquid began to froth and steam, churning almost as if it was boiling. Smiling thinly Korah waved his hand over the bowl and the middle water grew soft and still, forming a sort of mirror while the outer edges still bubbled and churned. Two red eyes suddenly appeared, glowing softly in the bowl as a low voice growled, "You call master..."

"Yes," Korah answered, a malicious smile spreading across his face. I have found the Magical Creatures, the ones prophesied to stop us. Gather you Assassins and come to me, the time for the hunt has arrived..."

Sounds good Boltageman, it will be fun having a couple of baddies.

Whoa, is it bad that I never even realised half this stuff happened? Chaos!! I'm not sure I can keep up anymore

Ahhh it's not that bad at all Mad_Moo. Just make sure you read people's posts. I will be posting these synopsis every 3-5 pages or so to make sure we all know what is going on and that we are all on the same page so don't worry. Just don't leave!

*Well... seeing as you're so nice I'll stay But it's sometimes really difficult with so many characters. I'm new to storybooks so it's all a bit mad!*

Wow we have all been through quite a bit, so I recommend our characters rest for a bit.

Mad_Moo: Yea it is a bit crazy. There are even quite a few characters for me to handle. But you should stay, this is fun!

Maybe: I brought in Amisitin, mostly so we can meet him and figure out who he is... lol

Ra

Ra felt... compassion. At least that was the only thing he could figure he felt. The emotion was new to him, it was a new concept in general as he watched April cry. Her tears of pain and sorrow flew to the ground, sparkling like tiny jewels as they fell like rain. He had an odd desire to comfort her, to make her pain go away. The time with the humans must have corrupted me he thought, slightly disgusted with himself and the way he was feeling.

"We need to go," someone said, and the whole group turned, leaving the burning village and the angry people as they turned and made their way into the mountains. They didn't walk far, soon they all began to realize how exhausted and tired their really were. They had been traveling for a couple of days without any sleep and had already fought 2 battles. Besides that they had discovered the village burnt to the ground, and the site alone was enough to make someone feel sick to their stomach.

So it was quickly agreed that they all needed to rest. Campfires were quickly made and some of them went out to hunt while the others gathered around the fires and began to share and talk. The sun as slowly setting and Ra took a seat by April. She gave him a weak smile, "Are you doing better?" he asked.

She nodded, "Yea, it was just... hard seeing all those people, so many died, and for what?"

"That is what humans do," Ra answered simply, "They kill each other."

"Yea but that... I wonder if it was truly done by a dragon," Keenan suddenly said, breaking into the silence.

"Who knows," Scado murmured, "I can only hope they were right and that my father is still alive."

"We can all hope that," Peace muttered from where he lay on the ground, "Otherwise this whole thing is just going to turn into some wild goose chase."

"Do you think that man will follow us?" a quiet voice asked. Everyone looked over to see Lane sitting on Atlu's shoulder, her small voice was hard to hear over the crackling of the flames.

"The Necromancer you mean," Ra said, "Yes he will come..." his voice trailed off as a heavy silence fell on the group. No one knew what to say, or what to do to make the whole situation seem lighter. It was like a heavy blanket of depression and darkness had descended upon them, and as they stared into the flames, or into the sky, they all felt it. Fear. Worry. Confusion. What was really going on? Where were they going? Why was this all happening to them...

"I have food," a sudden voice echoed from outside the fire, and the new arrival came walking in.

Everyone realized almost at once that they still didn't know who this being was. "Who are you?" four people chorused at once as the odd Alan dropped a dead deer at their feet.

"My name is Amisitin...

*guys, ignore my last post, I didn't realise where we where at! Sorry! I'll do better to stay on track *


Altu

Altu eyed the new comer beadily, stepping forward after the demon like Alan was finished introducing himself. Lane leaned off his shoulder slightly, gazing at the newcomer.
"Are you an Alan?" Scado asked him.
"Yes... I wish to join you." Amistin turned to Scado briefly as he answered, but his eyes shifted to Altu again. Altu outstretched his huge wings and made him look even bigger than usual, but didn't beat them incase he blew Lane off his shoulder with the force.
"I want to fight against the humans with you," Amistin said quietly.
Altu snorted, threw back his head and barked a short laugh. "Well, if you want to fight, you've come to the right place."
There was a slight murmur of uneasy laughter that quickly died down again amoung the creatures.
"Who is the leader?" the newcomer asked. The creatures all looked around at each other.
"We work as a team, as one," Ra said to him. Amistin nodded thoughtfully.
"May I join you?" he asked the creatures.
Altu zoned out from their talking as Lane leaned in towards his ear.
"That one deer wont feed us all," she said, swinging her legs as he sat. She looked up at him, obviously taking in the size of him. "You could gobble the poor thing whole!"
He smiled at her concern. "Well, I don't need to eat often. I can survive for a long time without any food at all."
She fluttered her wings curiously, still gazing up at him.
"Well..." he began, slightly uncomfortably. "It's because I'm, uh..." She nodded in a friendly prompt. "Well, I'm half basilisk." He wondered how she might react to that. Basilisks weren't usually the most favourite of magical creatures. They were often thought of as slimy, good for nothing snakes who killed for fun.
"Wow, that's interesting." She toyed with a sea coloured feather on his mane. "That's were you get your colours from then. I suppose you're half griffin too, it's what you most resemble."
"That doesn't freak you out?" he asked.
"Nope, not at all," the little fairy smiled at him.

DSF: I wasn't sure if those red eyes Were Max, because vampires have no reflection. So if he was there, I will post pre this scene.

Moo: I feel for you. I come back from school, and it usually grows a page.

Ironclaw~~

"I will go and hunt," I said eyeing the small amount of food I had. "I'll bring as much as I can carry with me for the rest of you as well," I added to the people who looked solemnly at their plates, hunger upon their faces.

I took off in a moment, and began to search the area. A few moments later I found a wolf and landed on top of it. Hungrily I ate it, and as soon as I was full took off again. After my back was full with meat I was ready to take off. Then I saw them.

There were eyes peering at me from the woods, and when I saw them I froze. The blood red and yellow eyes peered into my soul, finding my weakness.

"Hello young griffin. I am Maximilian, and I am in need of your services," He said calmly and cody.

"What do you need?" I asked in a hypnotized tone.

"I need you to spy on your friends for me. I will be keeping near, and I will need you to fill me in on things, like weaknesses and such, nightly," He said with a sly smile.

"I will," I told him.

"Good...um?" He said

"Ironclaw, of the northern Griffin settlement, Semparo."

"Well young Ironclaw, get going now. And I want you to keep a close eye on the phoenix, the vampire called Peace (if you can call him a vampire) *no offence Jok, but I said before, he (maybe all vampires), like to bag on other kinds*, the wizard named Ra, and Scado the werewolf.:

"Very well," I said before taking off.

"I bring food," I said and dumped a large pile of meat near the fire.
________

No one realize he is being controlled for awhile please. You can be suspicious, but not reveal it, yet.

-Scado-

Scado took one big whiff of the meat and backed away. "What's the matter Scado?" Ra asked.

"It's a wolf," Scado replied.

"So."

"So? I am part wolf. Eating a wolf is canablism for me." He moved to the other side of the campfire and sat down. The entire time he moved he noticed Ironclaw watching him, taking in his every move. He shifted slightly just to be sure, and Ironclaw did not miss a beat. "What are you staring at?" he asked angerly.

"Nothing," Ironclaw said before shifting his gaze.

"Why did you yell at Ironclaw," Pippa said. "He was doing nothing."

"Wait a second," Scado whispered. Ra shifted slightly and Ironclaw followed his movements. "Watch how he keeps an eye on Ra."

"So what."

"He never did that before now. I think something happened out there in the woods."

"What?"

"I don't know, but we'll have to keep an eye on him."

*oh yeah l forgot DSF because Korah kills Peace can Adam kill Korah you know get his revenge*

Adam

I gently put down Peace on the ground.

"do you feel that?" Peace said and I listened and felt all at the same time I felt a slight waver in the air like it shouldn't be their, it felt a bit like the feeling I had felt when the zombies were about.

"what is it?" I asked interested.

"Its a vampire, well if you can call them vampires their more like zombies with a bit of human and brai a thrown in, nothing like us though they were around way before us we infact come from them sort of one of their kind did it with a god and what was born us, the older vampires died out against are better speed agility strenth yadayada they couldn't get an food the one here must be very resourcful." Peace said thinking he farley spoke of his history though it must be very intreasting.

Peace shut his eyes and I lay next to him. Before realizing I wasn't tired at all. So instead I went for a walk well by walk I mean run. I came to a cave entrance an smealt werewolf inside.

"worst than the priest it's called Pravius." I realized who it was and ran back to the camp were I went to Peace.

"what's Pravius" I asked and a tired Peace seammed instantly awake.

"Ra!" he shouted and Ra was over in a few seconds.

"what?" He said worried.

"Pravius" Peace said and Ra frovse.

*Ok I'm guessing you guys are wondering what happened in the last Sada (I would like Mabel, Ariel, and Nutty to add anything I missed). Basically how the story got started was Lethero's pack was attacked at their last home site by the Priest. So they needed to move. As time went on they met up with everyone else (all the other Legends). We were repeatedly attacked by humans and the Priest. In the end Ajle's mentor, Raiana, died killing the Priest. Lethero established peace with the humans without fighting and so it goes to 50 years later to year we are now.

I know it doesn't sound intresting, I am a horrible summarizer, but that is the jist of what happened to the Legends. I hope this clears up some things and I ask Nutty, Mabel, and Ariel to fill in things I missed.

Boltageman: YAY!! Start using colors to!!! but to make your post green you start it with [color=green] like you did and end it with [/color].

Jok: Before I post what is Pravius? Should I know, and did I forget. And we'll wait and see about Adam killing Korah, I'm not sure how I want him to die or what that is going to look like so lets keep Adam doing it as an opting.

Lethero: YAY! Thanks for the little info. Just give us a bit more on the Preist. What is it? What does it do? I went and looked at your old storybook and from what I found it is a type of spirit. When it was alive it killed magical creatures and now that it is dead it does the same but also sucks out their magic and powers. If I am correct a priest enslaved one and use it in your last book. Wasn't it also originally created by the Dryads or something and then humans found out how to make it? I'm not sure but a little more info on it would be great!

Thanks DSF, I forgot to add it, though I know how to.

Also, those red eyes you had Korah see, were they supposed to be Max?

Might as well, post since Nutty and Ariel aren't here.

-Lethero-

Darkness filled the cave. Lethero felt the temperature dramatically drop. Even with his old age, he jumped to feet and shifted his Werewolf form. He reached for Blood Blade, but remembered he gave it his grandson. "All of you leave!" Lethero growled. "I will handle this."

"Lethero," Fyra exclaimed. "You are too old to fight. You will only get youself hurt, and possiblely killed."

"That's never stopped me before," he said with a msichevious grin.

"What about the true Blood Blade," Ajle said, "we need you to use it."

"If anything happens to me you have my grandson." Lethero picked a burning stick from the fire pit and wielded it like a sword. "Don't worry about me. I'll be fine. Now go."

"Lethero . . ." Fyra said softly.

"I said go! Now!"

-Scado-

Scado laid down with his back to a tree. He made sure that his eyes were kept on Ironclaw the entire time. The Griffin's focus seemed to be shifting from person to person, trying to take in whatever they did. If someone tripped on something or exclaimed in pain his eyes immediately went to that person.

Scado slipped out the Blood Blade and laid it on the ground next to him. As he did this the Griffin's unblinking stare turned towards him. Scado closed his eyes and pretended to be going asleep, but kept his sharp ears open for any movements that the Griffin made.

Hours before dawn he heard the Griffin stand up and one of his eyes shot up. He saw Ironclaw walk into the trees and disappear. Slowly Scado stood up and followed.

Jok: I said there were like a bunch of races still around, so it wouldnt make sense if they died out, would it?




Ironclaw

"You know it is very rude to spy on someone while they go to the bathroom," I told Scado, as approached me, "especially those with claws, and cat like agility."

Scado did not say a thing.

"Why are you watching me so closely, I am not doing anything," I said.

"Oh really, I see you eyeing everyone, so closely. What are you up to?" Scado asked.

"I am up to Griffin behavior. We griffins, we do not exactly like meeting new people, well really we are suspicious. We like to learn about them, and keep a close eye, it is hard to gain our trust."



Max

"So sir, what is you wish me to do," I said, the sir dripping with sarcasm.

"I want you to go fetch Korah for me," He said.

"That is it, really a man with 8,000 years of experience, the first of the vampires ever made, to do. Fetch a necromancer for you.Oh lord how-" I began

"I should warn you, if you interrupt you seem like a naive jerk yourself," The man in front of me said.

"Well sir, I am hardly naive, just playing. I will fetch Korah for you, but you must give me something to do, actually you must, the griffin spy I have will only obey me, so I must go and trail the pack you sent me on."

"I will, just go get Korah, quickly."

"Very well."

With that I took off to fetch Korah.
