[IC] the Fog of Yggdrasil

[Tyki]

Stefan arkadi finds himself waking up in a room with white brick walls, overgrown with moss and roots, moonlight coming from a large, circular hole in the ceiling that he was most likely lowered into, and a doorway leading to a hall with various carvings and uneven floor tiles in it. a burlap pouch awaits him next to his head while a dagger lies in his belt, almost a short sword in length next to a full water skin, and a small staff-like object lies next to the burlap pouch. he can feel his locket around his neck

---

John Royhart awakes to find himself having been lowered into a cavernous room with red rock and roots covering most of it, moonlight coming from a skylight and a tunnel at the side of the room. he finds a burlap pouch next to his hand, gloved in a finger less, oddly warm, leather glove that's his size despite him not remembering putting on such a thing. a dagger is shoved into his belt next to his journal, the dagger barely large enough to reach mid thigh with a slight curve to it, next to it hangs a waterskin.

---

crow awakes in a room of light marble stone with veins of gold running through the walls, a door at one end leading somewhere unknown while a rather well kept hole leading to the surface shines moonlight upon him and the room. he finds a burlap pouch next to his head, his face oddly cool for some reason unbeknownst to him, and a small leather pouch lies next to the burlap one, being dwarfed in size. he can feel a dagger about double the size of his hand poking through his belt with a curved tip and a crude make, but maliciously sharp and well loved next to a water skin

---

vanity awakes to find herself having been lowered into a small hole in the roof, moonlight shining from above and giving contrast to the silver and black walls, a metal door of silver and amethyst at the side of the square room. she finds a burlap pouch lying on her back next to a water skin and a book on basic meditation and healing through mystical arts, a dagger is shoved through her belt about the size of her arm and oddly ornate when compared with her other items.

Bataar Kahbul finds himself having been lowered into a cold room made of a light, squeaky wood that leaves a sticky residue on his clothes. moonlight shines on him from above from a rather large hole in the ceiling. he finds a burlap pouch next to his thigh, a small dagger about the size of his forearm rubbing against it with every shift of his leg from his waist cloth (i'm assuming because of how he looked in the photo that he'd be dressed differently) while a water skin hangs from the other side. he finds a finger less leather glove on his hand that feels oddly warm, as if it were made of embers. due to his time amongst the monks he recognizes it as a catalyst for channeling his inner flame into pyromantic magics.

i think that's everyone (my fingers!) so i guess it has offically begun... i wish you all good luck and the best of times ;3

[CrowOkatagi]

Crow would immediatly pull the dagger from his belt gather the supplies and open the door without hesitation determined to find his sister as soon as possible. He had no memory of recent events but he didnt need them he just needed his sister safley by his side.

Vanity would flip through a couple pages of the book hesitantly then grab her dagger twirling it so that she was weilding it backhandedly like her brother showed her she then gathered her stuff and opened the door determined to find her brother.

(( please use the three hyphens, it makes distinguishing between chars easier))

crow finds a short hallway with an uneven floor, the same marble and gold from the previous room seeming prevalent and carries on into the next room at the end of the hallway, however there are odd carvings in the walls and ceiling, with openings that seem to suggest they'd have something come out.

---

vanity finds that the book is easy to understand and most likely made for children or those of little intellegence as it has detailed descriptions and diagrams explaining things. from her short look she can see the table of contents includes meditation largely for the first ten chapters before going into healing spells, basic lightning manipulation, basic light manipulation, and using light magic to heal wounds by the end. she finds a short hallway with an even floor and smooth yet ornate walls leading into the next room

[CrowOkatagi]

Crow realized that there were probably traps in the ground so he took a moment to figure out the layout of the tiles and moved across them without setting off a trap untill about half way when he stepped on a wrong tile and at that point took off in a mad run setting off everyone after that point before moving into the closets room

[Tyki]

he very narrowly escapes, most of the traps missing due to being targeted for larger prey but such a rush could very easily have killed him if they weren't ((in other words, i was feeling merciful. continue being reckless or trying to rush things and i will kill off crow without a second's hesitation)). in the next room he finds just a statue of a praying woman made of marble on a pedestal in front of a raised section of flooring

[CrowOkatagi]

((go ahead and kill me off i dont approve of hostility. and after this ill simply go play skyrim sense i could be better than this rp at any point of time infact go ahead and have your way with my characters so later))

((it's meant to be a survival rp, and it has added difficulty through me being the one controling it and the fact that it's a place i've spawned especially to be difficult. sorry if you saw my warning as hostility, and i do hope you come back (i'll have to remember to be gentler in the future))

[CrowOkatagi]

((sorry i get carried away with myself when i try to make points.... i apologize for acting in a way that i absolutly hate))

Crow would stand before the statue and immediatly figure it was a puzzle as he would start to search the area around it for any clues.

((it's fine and i understand... i'm not exactly easy to get along with due to various social/mental problems so i've made a statement about it in the ooc... anyway, vanity's still just sort of hanging there....))

he finds it to be a fairly barren room, but he finds bones in the corners, as if being attempted to be hidden, but with no where to store them in the rather barren room they were just hidden in the shadows. an engraving on the pedestal reads "here lies the test of faith. kneel and prove thyself"

[CrowOkatagi]

Crow held onto the weird gemstone hanging around his neck and tried to communicate with his sister through it.

______________

Vanity was sitting in the room completely oblivious as to what was going on

((don't really know how to reply to that...))

vanity finds a dull, ordinary steel sword stuck fast in a stone pedestal at the center of the room with various bones and rusty weapons scattered around the room, all of them human

[CrowOkatagi]

((lol here ill reply for you))

Crow couldnt reach his sister it seemed there was something blocking the gems way of connecting to its other half.. crow then sat infront of the statue and was ready to undergo any torture that would happen to see if he was worthy to move on

Stefan sits up slowly, his hand going to his neck to clasp the locket his sister gave him. It feels comforting in this strange place, a reminder of why he is here and why he has to do his best. Looking around the room, he notices the burlap pouch near where his head was before. He goes to pick it up, when he feels the sheath of the dagger in his belt. He draws it and looks at it for a moment, examining the blade. His mother had never allowed him near knives or blades of any sword, but his father had let him play with his own knife when she wasn't looking. He had said that Stefan would need to learn how to use one someday, anyhow. It was odd to think that day had come so quickly. At this time, Stefan had no idea whether this was a particularly well crafted blade or not, but it was a knife all the same, so he would use it to the best of his ability and hope that was enough. Returning the dagger to its sheath, he finally picks up the pouch, examining its contents. After reviewing what he had, he places the water skin in the pouch with the rest of the objects, as he didn't want to lose it. He stands to examine the room further, but stops when he notices the staff-like object. He picks it up to examine it, wondering what it is for.

the pressure plate triggers, spewing him with with a foul smelling smoke from the statue's mouth, choking him slightly but something on his face seems to assist in dispersing it. a grate at the end of the room opens, allowing him passage to the next room

the staff seems to glow with a faint, light blue light at his touch, the same color of sorceries. he finds a tunnel leading out of the room but the tiles are uneven and there are carvings on the walls and ceilings

The glowing staff is kind of pretty, and Stefan feels that it will be helpful, so he holds on to it. Deciding that it would be best to get moving, he walks cautiously into the tunnel, wary of any kind of danger he may find there. He looks around at all the carvings all over the walls and ceiling, though he has to be careful not to trip on the uneven tiles. The depictions are attention-catching for his curious young eyes.

[CrowOkatagi]

Crow stood and dusted himself off going into the next room and examining everything around him

John looks at his gloved hand, confused. He didn't remember putting it on. But he figures that this is the challenge his father was talking about on the way to the forest. John grips the dagger, ready to draw it at a moments notice. He looks around the room and sees a tunnel. He immediately begins hopping from rock to rock, making a game not to touch the roots. He eventually reaches the tunnel and slowly steps in, careful not to set off any traps like the ones in the tunnels of his father's castle.

he finds himself easily able to avoid the traps with even the little caution he's displayed and soon finds himself in a room with a large creature made of skeletons sitting in the middle. the way behind him closes as he enters and the creature shifts, asking directly into his mind with a whisper "so child. what brings you to my domain? answer carefully, because one lie and i'll kill you". it seems to speak in an even tone, even as it says it will kill him, as if it doesn't care at all whether he lives or dies

((again, you're sort of just leaving vanity))

he finds it to be a room of mirrors with a sword in the middle. the way he came in shuts behind him as he enters and one of his reflections asks "why are you here?" in his own voice as it seems to be wearing a mask, plain and white with a single black mark on the forehead
