The Mirror's Curse (full!)

Aritha:

I thought that Itaeo's throw at the drgon's face was funny, and Rosalie's stomping on his foot more so, and the grim reaper stuttering absolutley hilarious.

(Shortness! )

*I'm going to get theis fight started since the rest of you seem more interested with having your characters try to kill each other. Maybe I can take the edge of their blood lust.*

Rhyder-

Rhyder came to with a groan. His head ached and his mouth felt like it was full of cotton. He was bound hand, foot, and wing and slung over the back of a pack horse. When the soldiers had found him they'd recognized him almost instantly. Just his luck that he'd flown smack into the middle of his mother's kingdom.

Over ten years later and the search for him was still going strong. His mother was determined to bring him back. Still, aside from the occasional bounty hunter, it wasn't normally a problem. "The next time I'm fleeing for my life," Rhyder thought sardonically. "I should pay more attention to which direction I'm flying in."

He was still disoriented but Rhyder could feel his pack underneath him, pressing into his stomach. They'd divested him of his weapons, clapped him in anti-magic shackles, but they hadn't found the Ring. Through the trees he could see the faint glint of firelight. That was odd, who would be travelling this far away from civilization except for soldiers and outlaws.

Apperantly the soldiers captain felt it was suspicious too. Because he ordered his men to spread out and surround the camp. Rhyder kept faking unconsciousness. If he was really really luckly, he might be able to escape in the commotion.

*If anyone asks the soldiers about their prisoner. They will merely state that they have apprehended 'a very dangerous criminal' and nothing more. Rhyder will generally play along with that since he really doesn't want to deal with his family.*

Sylver- I don't think we knew where to take the story without you, your the only one who knows the plot.

Itaeo Haruon:

I realized about the same time as Alekan and Hector that there were others drawing near to us. I stood up and moved to the edge of the firelight, drawing my twin scythe blades.

"Alright come on out! I highly doubt your a match for a griffin, a dragon, and two violent maniacs." I winked at Aritha. I didn't mention Rosalie, knowing that nymphs are hunted in some areas and I had no idea if Kylar could use magic so I left him out as well.

The rustling in the underbrush grew louder.

Kyler

I heard a twig snap behind me. I bolted awake, jumped up and pulled out my swords. It was a palace soldier. Hunter fell to the ground and climbed up my pant leg. Great, I thought to myself. And I had been having a really good dream too. All well, fighting was what I did best. I slid my swords against eachother, causing them to turn red from the heat of my magic. The soldier, first looking cocky, had a quick second of fear before I lunged forward. I ran past the soldier before he had time to pull out his sword and stabbed him in the back, both of us facing opposite directions. The soldier, luckily for him, was fast, and barely avoided my flames. I heard the familar noise of a sword being pulled out of it's sheath and blocked his next blow with one hand, sending the other one over and attacking his side. He fell to the ground, too slow for me.

I looked over to where the others where camping and listened for the sound of the battle.
(I didn't know if this was actually powers that a high fae would have, so if I need to change it, I can.)

Aritha:

I got up slowly. Not cautiously, just because I was tired. "You better listen to him." I pulled out two daggers and covered them in shadow, making them seem even more threatening. I heard a crackle. I turned and threw one dagger. i heard it hit someone or something. Come. The dagger came flying back like a boomerang, only twice as deadly. I caught it and went to see what I had hit. A man lay dead at my feet, a large knife wound in his chest. I smiled viciously, and turned back into the camp, so that i was closer to the fire. "That was just a warning. if you don't surender now, I will do much worse to you." The voice cackled in my head, making me lose my focus for a minute. One of the soldiers notice and took that time to attack me again. I fought a little longer this time, getting a scratch on my arm, but he was dead in a minute still.

(I can get pretty gruesome in my own fight scenes so if I get carried away please tell me and I will edit any posts.)

Itaeo Haruon:

I heard the sound of metal on metal from behind me out in the woods and guessed Kylar had a run in with whoever these people were. Then I felt a slight sense of heat and the glow of flames between the trees. So that was his power huh? now that was a interesting turn of events.

"Having fun Kylar?" I called back grinning. I might not like admitting this to anyone or myself for that matter but since looking at the mirror I love the spilling of blood. Something about it invigorates me and awakes a primal savagery I've never known.

Ten soldiers suddenly crash into the firelight and begin to attack. Aritha seems to be having trouble within herself. I sense something is very wrong with that girl, even more than myself.

A man rushes me, I throw one of my scythe out to greet him. One for me. My scythe returns to my hand covered in warm blood. I look around, who's next?

A big bear of a man decides he is, he's not worth my scythe. I reach out and touch him with my bandaged hand, I feel his soul leave his body. A look of terror momentarily flits across his face and then vanishes just a quickly as he decays away into dust, bones and all. without a soul a body is just another chunk of meat.

(Ice- Itaeo being a reaper is almost indestructible, he wouldn't die you made Aritha "kill" him. just to let you know )

Rosalie Levia

I was pushed to the ground by Itaeo, after realizing about the arrow. Water... I need water to defend myself. I life my head up to see everyone on the ground, except those who were willing to fight. I look around in my position, hoping that I can sense some water. I sense a little water, which might be enough, but I don't know where. I see a canister lying beside a log, which was away from the fire. I gulped before moving.

I began shifting my way towards the canister. Pretty much everyone but me was fighting. I finally reached the canister. I grabbed it and put some water on my palms. A soldier looks at me weirdly, and starts to attack me. Finally realizing what is happening, I shield myself with my arms.

(I found out that Nymphs can teleport! And they can seduce, well I already knew that part.)

I didn't kill him, I just made him get hurt, cause i thought that you posted that. I'm really sorry for the confusion and I'll make sure next time.

Ohh okay!

*My basic idea is that the person who made the Relics is still alive. Since, y'know even mortal Fae live for several centuries. Now that the Relics have resurfaced he's weaseled his way into the service of Rhyder's mother as her chief advisor. He is using her to collect all four of them.

Just so everyone knows the villain has the Mirror, Rhyder has the Ring, some mercenary has the Sword. And most worryingly the Book, the most powerfull of the Relics, is who knows where. This is my basic idea for the plot but feel free to PM me with any contributions as I flesh it out.*

Rhyder:

"Ow. Ow, ow, ow!" Rhyder hissed in pain as his shackles heated up. Absorbing the magic he was desperately trying to generate. Here he was trussed like a pig for market and he couldn't even shoot someone with lightning. He was a nice guy, but that was too much even for Rhyder to handle.

Glancing up Rhyder glared at the soldiers who ringed him. Making sure their opponents, whoever they were wouldn't stumble across Rhyder without a fight. One of them smirked in amusement at Rhyder's futile escape attempts. That smirk rankled Rhyder, a lot. "When I get out of this." Rhyder decided. "He dies first."

*Also Blue and Griffin should keep in mind that Skylords once ruled over all the Winged Races. And while they were generally benevolent they did have a tendency to look down on the 'Lesser' Winged Beings.*

(Oh Ice I didn't mean it that way at all! I only meant for future, because you hinted that Aritha might try to kill one of the group in her mad rages! I just meant that she could kick the crap out of him and I won't mind a bit! XD)
Itaeo Haruon:

I realized that Rosalie was not behind me anymore, turning wildly I realize she's in terrible danger from one greasy soldier.

"The hell no!" I roar and threw both my scythe, chains and all at him. They hit him with enough force to break his back and wildly wind around his body. He falls dead at Rosalie's feet. I rush over.

"I didn't mean for you to get yourself killed! I hardly think a canteen will protect you nymph!" I shout at her.



(Gleek- I hope this is okay, I remember you saying that Rosalie is weak from physical attacks. if not I'll edit)

Kyler

"Having fun Kyler?" Itaeo asked. I shook my head but didn't answer. The soldier had been too easy to kill, it hadn't been worth my time, or his life. I ran over to the rest and looked around. Everyone seemed to be handling themselves pretty well. The only one who looked like she might need help would be Aritha, and if I helped her, she would kill me. I ran through the trees where the men had come from to make sure that there weren't anymore coming, or leaving. I could only see about five or so men, and they stood gaurd around... a halfling! He was chained and shackled and looked like he wanted to kill someone. I didn't bother hiding, but slowed my pace. I walked out of the cover of the trees. All I needed to do was get the halfling out, and he would take care of the rest. I quickly wondered whether or not he would turn on me, but it didn't matter. I wasn't going to leave him.

I ran up to the first man who, for some unkown reason, thought he could take me on his own. I blocked his first blow with my right sword, and while he was distracted, stabbed him. Another man ran up to take his place. I quickly knocked him unconcous and ran past the third, triping him as I went. He tumbled to the ground and got back up, running back over to me. I dogded him quickly. He didn't see me move until it was too late and he had already been killed. I dodged the fourth and fifth men and ran to the halfling.

"How do I get you out?" I asked quickly.

(I hope this is okay, I wasn't sure if this is what you wanted. If not, I can change it!)

Rhyder:

Rhyder was impressed, though he'd never admit it. The fae handled himself like a profesional. His movements were quick and graceful, striking only for a descisive blow. Scowling Rhyder tried to get some leverage on his hands and failed yet again. "Since I was unconscious when they chained me I don't know. Check the idiots who were guarding me, one of them probably has the keys."

*sorry for the shortness.*

Kyler

"Check the idiots who were guarding me, one of them probably has the keys."

I turned around and elbowed the fourth man in the nose. I ran to the fifth and pointed my sword at him. "Where's the key?" I threated, taking a step closer. He pushed my sword away with his own and took a step closer. I slid my sword accross his leg. He fell to the ground, landing on his knees. "Where's the key?" I said deeper this time. I put both swords to his throat. His eyes flickered over to the second, no the third maybe the fourth (oh, it doesn't matter), man, but he didn't speak. I hit him in the head with the hilt of my sword before going to the unconscious man. I dug in his pocket for a moment before finding the key on a neckalce around his neck. I ripped it off and walked over the the halfling. After a second of fidling, I heard a click, and the chains came off.

(Shadow, it's fine! Yea, Rosalie will be needing A LOT of protection, unless she's powered up with water.)

Rosalie Levia

I stared at the dead body while Itaeo shouted something at me. Now that I'm ready, I stand up and analyze the battles. Though I'm kind of not sure how to use my powers, I am sure to try for my first fight. I mean, the only abilities I have is seducing, teleporting, healing, and singing that leads to confusion and sleep.

"What do I do?" I shouted to Itaeo. I was confused and worried.

(Sorry for the shortness! Trying to make Rosalie seems weak despite her abilities.)

Rhyder:

Free at last Rhyder jumped off the horse, keeping a tight hold on his pack. No way was he letting that thing out of sight. His wings flared outward from arching towards the sky. His rescuer stumbled back in surprise. Apperantly having missed the feathered appendages that had been crumpled and folded around him earlier.

Rhyder's head tilted upwards gale bursts of wind whipped through the forests edge. Rain pelted down from clouds that gathered to obscure the stars and lightning forked towards the earth. Striking first one soldier, then another and another. Rhyder seldom got a chance to use his powers to any strong degree. As the storm swirled around him he felt like he was waking up after a long sleep. The sky was a hurricane and he was it's eye.
