Lady Paradox Presents- War of Carsacada IC

[Chazz]

The mountain shook with great thunderous power, as part of it crumbled away, revealing the tomb of a lost ancient temple.
Strange and inhuman sounds poured forth from the opening, as something shadowy stirred within.
The foul creature flew from it's captivity, stretching forth it's wings, taking flight into the night sky.
The screeching call of this hideous being was enough to cast fear in the bravest of warriors, even the dragons would fear this spawn of hellish torment.
It flew over the valley of Carsacada, it's destination....the capital city.
Soon enough, the war of Carsacada would begin, and not a single man,woman, or child would survive this hellish onslaught.

The dwarf looked to the night sky, hearing the foul creature, "By Reorx's great red beard, what the hell was that?" he asked himself, as he grabbed his ax in hand.
He got a glimpse of something larger than a dragon fly over, blocking out the light of the moon.
"Damned be the gods, what foul being is this?" asked Beorn as he watched the sky.
"Not a good sign, nay..not good at all." he said as he kicked dirt upon his campfire.
Suddenly four Orcs rushed him from the woods with weapons raised in attack formation.
Beorn turned his attention towards them, "Damn blasted bastards, come on then!" he shouted as he charged at them, swinging his huge ax.

The elf gently pulled back on his bow, and as he was about to release an arrow, the deer suddenly bolted.
The piercing scream of something inhuman echoed throughout the forest.
Orion's eyes shot upwards to the sky, only to catch a small glimpse of something dark moving through the foliage of the tree tops.
He loosened his arrow and replaced it into it's sheath, as he made his way back to the village to speak with the elders of what he had seen.
Suddenly he fell to his knees, grabbing his head with both hands, as the pain intensified.
Flashes of a war flooded his mind, and soon enough he found himself standing in the midst of corpses and a burning capital.

galena stepped outside as the horrible scream ripped through the air, after her intial shock she ran inside and grabbed her sword and medical kit, her first thought was something has attacked orion and hes fighting it. so with little baldur not far behind she dashed into the woods and around trees until she could see him, he was having a vision and a group of thieves had him surrounded as the attempted to pick pocket him, galena rushed and and slammed one of them with the side of her sword, at the sight of the elven goddess the men backed up, until thier leader spoke, "shed make a wonderful bed slave dont you think men?" then they all drew thier weapons, what had galena gotten herself into.

arya was in the midst of battle when the screech was heard, it had givin her the edge she needed to cleave two men in half, after the fighting stopped she picked up her weapons and started back to her village, when she got there it was a pile of ashes, all her tribe had been thrown in a pile and thier village burned to the ground, she hit her knees and screamed at the sky "HAVE THE GODS NO MERCY???"

Alexis sat in the middle of a sunny meadow, meditating, his breaths came slow and deep. His inner world perfectly still, yet he could not shake the feeling of unease that corrupted his calm.

Then his entire world shattered.

The ground trembled as the gut wrenching roar shook him, penetrating him to the very core of his being. His eyes shot open, for a second he couldn't even move, he was frozen in terror, a feeling that was alien to him. He gritted his teeth, steeling himself and emersing himself in a trained calm. He glanced to the sky, only seeing a small dot, but to see it at this distance, the creature must be of a terrifying scale.

He grabbed his sword, lain next to him and rose to his feet, before sprinting off into the forest, in the direction of the dot.

Lorkhan knew well what was happening to him as colors and shapes seemed to rush passed him in a tunnel of sorts. He was falling through a portal, the like of which one skilled in magic could easily conjure. Then the tunnel split, sending his weapons, as well as his clothing, off to some other destination.

Then a breath of cold air was sucked into his nose, and seeing the tunnel open to a dense forest with mountains in the distance he flew out of the portal and hit a we patch of mud, his head smacking the ground.

Lorkhan then realized both some good news, and bad news. He saw a rip in the sky not to far to the north, indicating a portal which must have carried his weapons, however, at this time, he was not only unarmed, but naked, and as he was standing up, he realized a creature resembling both an eagle and a lion was laying right in front of him, and waking up.

Baldur had winced as the scream pierced the air... His hearing a lot more sensitive than most other creatures... He opened his eyes to find that Galena had run off into the woods, and dashed after her. As they had approached Orion Galena had told Baldur to wait in the trees, and so as Galena had rushed out to stop the thieves Baldur had scrambled up a tree, he loved climbing trees... Though his attention soon snapped back to Galena as the thieves leader spoke and the group drew weapons.

Baldur may only be young, but he was still a dragon... And it was this fact that he was banking on as he leapt from the trees with a roar, and glided down and into the leader on his wings. The pair were knocked to the ground, the theif leader letting out a suprised yelp as he fell while Baldur rolled off him and onto his feet. The other thieves looked on in shock at what had happened. Though he didn't see much fear, and knew that he and Galena only had seconds before they came to there senses and reacted...

The orcs laid dead on the ground, parts of them that is, which was spread across the whole campsite.
Beorn was dripping in blood, but not his own, for the orcs found out what a true berserker is.
He was still in that fighting frenzy, so he tracked the orc's back to their raiding party camp, and shouted his dwarven cry as he rushed into their camp swinging his mighty ax.

~~~~~
Orion came back to as he heard trouble around him, seeing Galena and Baldur fighting off thieves.
He quickly tumbled to one side, as he brought his bow up and fired several shots at the would be attackers.
"We must vanquish these fools, for there is a much worse threat than them." said Orion.
Orion was back to his feet, and moving away from the attacks while he fired at the thieves.

With a roar, the griffon clawed downward towards Lorkhans head, but Lorkhan dove and rolled out of the way in time and continued his sprint in the direction where his sword must have fallen. He was no coward, but he was no fool either; naked and unarmed was no way to fight.

He ran rather quickly, probably faster than other men of this world, he hoped. But what world is this, what would be the men of this world, and WHAT IS THIS THING CHASING ME? He thought. He realized he would run out of stamina before he reached his equipment, and dove out of the way of the monster charging after him.

He grabbed a severed tree branch, and as the griffon turned its head to face Lorkhan swung the branch around and whacked the creature across the side of its head. The griffon immediately turned back to Lorkhan, but Lorkhan gave it an overhead swing which crashed down on its head. A third time the Griffon snapped back at Lorkhan, this time grabbing the tree branch in its beak, braking it, then clawing at Lorkhan. The first strike Lorkhan dodged, but the second not only wounded him, but sent him flying to the side. Lorkhan, being toughened by a childhood of combat training, recovered immediately and continued his flight, and the griffon pursued once more. The wound was not fatal, and Lorkhan ignored the pain it put him in.

galena spun and cleaved one of the thievs in half then ran after orion through the trees, "what happened? what did you see?" she kept pace with him as she ran being taller her stride was longer, "i heard a screech and thought you had woken something evil..." she blushed at the thought that she had run out without pause to help orion, but she didnt have the nerve to tell him she was in love with him.

arya folowed the trail of misery till she found the cause of her villages destruction, the orc hoard was holding some of the women as sex slaves, arya reacted quick as black lightning shooting across the battle field slaying with her special bow, it changed to fit each enemy taking them down almost perfectly, but now she was to inclosed to use it so she switched to her axe, she let out a unmistakable barbarian roar and startd fighting, she eventualy was sent back to back with the most unlikely of allies, a dwarf, she whispered to him, knowing only a dwarf, or a barbarian, (who learned thier fighting skills from their dwarven teachers) would understand the plan she was laying out, "battle plan tunnel collapse," this perticular battle plan was a favorite of the dwarves as it cut a pth right through to the back allowing full destruction of the enemy, "when your ready..."

"I saw something again...the ...capital city was ....is......destroyed." replied Orion.
As many of thieves laid dead at their feet, the rest decided to scurry back into their holes.
"Run dogs!" he shouted as loosed one more arrow striking a bandit in the back of the neck, pinning his carcass to a tree.
"He that can not be named, an ancient monster...no more than a monster, a destroyer of worlds." said Orion.
"That is what I saw Galena." said Orion as he looked into her eyes, and added" What do you think it means?"

[SpyroTheDragon]

Baldur looked up at Orion as he spoke, "A destroyer of worlds? Can such a thing exist?" Baldur was shocked, the thought had never occured to him before that something could be powerful enough to destroy the enyire world... Or that anything would want to... "It can be stopped right? There are mighty armies... Surely they can do something?" Baldur was starting to freak out... He was young, though for his age he was still smart, but he was also still easily scared. "Is the capital destroyed already? Is there not time to warn them?" Baldur was unaware that he had begun bombarding Orion with questions, his mind was racing, tring to think of every possibility...
