"A million times I have done this charade. The moment people figure it out, I get the boot." she thought.
"But don't you want to see the fear in their eyes when they see who you really are...? Don't you want dominion of this place, just like how you were unchallenged in Vaal Kastrix?" said the Voice.
Ciara scoffed, immediately thinking of Gulliver and Valen. "I'd love to wipe the smirk off their faces."
"It starts by building a rumor. A rumor of power. This could be the place to start."
She took a deep breath, narrowing her eyes resolutely at the Undermage. "Head Advisor, with all due respect, you have no right to ask me about my intentions. If you want answers..."
She stood from her seat, rising to her full height.
Her breath caught when she felt the cold metal of a pistol against her temple.
"Put the heart down, and back the hell up if you want your friend to live," the guard said to Ellie in a rumbling baritone, digging the gun into Dream's head.
Dream squinted at Ellie, vision blurred as she tried to breathe. The heart, glinting in Ellie's hands.
The doctor, his face turning white every time she asked what would happen if they failed. Above all else, he said, they had to keep the heart safe. They had to, even if it meant...
She snarled, her boot stamping down on the guard's foot, a burst of light bruising the bone. He yelped, losing his grip. That's all she needed, and she tore away. But in her haste, she saw his free arm reaching for her, and she slipped on panicked feet as he pushed her off the railing.
She held back a scream, staring straight down into the boiling pit below. The guard wrapped a tight hand around her ankle, and Ellie could see Dream's other foot flailing; she restrained herself poorly from kicking the guard, desperately hoping she wouldn't die.
As her captor supported himself against the railing, his pistol pointed at Ellie.
Deep, golden orbs stared back at her from within the cave.
God, she couldn't breathe.
He was monstrous. The ground trembled under her feet as his rippling, massive body exited the cave. Thunderous footsteps left cracks in the dirt, his breath sent waves of heat creeping over her skin. The transformation was slow, but it looked like something from a nightmare with the way his long teeth were bared.
A great and terrible roar sounded from his gaping maw.
Ah, if BTH (hehe, it looks like an acronym for a certain curse) is more of an original world I think some basic descriptions of what the island looks like, maybe how it function, other highlights we should know, should be in place before we start the IC. I'll be the first to say that I love a narrative surprise, so if you need to hide certain details that's perfectly fine.
A mundane, happy history is the easiest to write. Kay, we won't go too overboard with character sheets, I'll just find something simple to get us started. If we're talking about give-take-ness, I'm not sure how much definite control you want over the plot and stuff, but if I get any ideas while we go through the story I will let you know.
First posts are the most fun to read, and that's half the reason. Hehe, there's no pressure.
Hm, it would seem this thread has found another person, so I think we might be guaranteed to have at least three, if not four of us playing. If yours will be male, I typically like starting off with females, so I could create that compatible love interest. Naturally following the process of falling in love is always so fascinating. XD
Let's shoot for the stars! I think we could handle Advanced. And I have two CSes below, choose which one you like better. I'll start filling in a sheet for my character in the meantime.
Ginger, honey, I don't mind your post duplicated seven times. But where's the meat and potatoes? The turkey and gravy? I know you can write more, and I would love to see it. XD
With kindness behind his eyes, Will wipe a tear away and held Cora in another hug. He spoke comfort, but Cora only half-listened as she considered how he wasn't recoiling from her touch. She was freezing. At least, from what others told her. Unnaturally cold, terribly warmth sapping, that's what they said. Plus, he was Water. Did he feel the effects even more since his element's inclination would be to freeze?
But the embrace was somehow soothing, to her surprise. She hid her face in his chest, taking a shaky breath as she tried to get it together. Thank goodness he was here. God, everything was just utter shit now. Everything. They had no food, no place to call home. And most of their friends were dead. Death was in every aspect of their deplorable situation, and she was sure the aliens were laughing about their victory. If they laughed. That seemed too human for them.
Will wore a solemn expression as he entered the Haven. Cora followed, taking in the heartbreaking scene again. Hadn't they been here only a day or so ago with Wolgran? It felt like a non-existent dream, the lush grasses and cool springs, eternally burning fires and beautiful gardens. Only material useful for kindling remained, dead dry and colourless. Speaking of kindling, a fire was likely in their best interest. The day was almost over, and the sunlight would soon disappear behind the mountains of trash.
Cora glanced at Phil, "I have a feeling we'll be staying here tonight. Maybe more people will show up throughout the night, morning, whatever..."
She started picking up handfuls of grass and twigs. Not quite in the mood to saw off branches of the dead trees, she turned to the boys. "Would you guys mind gathering us some firewood? We'll need enough to last all night, and the fire pit is empty. We can figure our next step... After that, I guess." She sighed, looked at the weak amount of tinder in her hand, and tossed it aside. The wind gusted, scattering the handful on the ground. Wind...
Cora left the cave for a moment, going down the path a ways to watch the sun go down. Her distance was far enough that Will and Phil probably wouldn't hear her freak out too much. She paced from side to side, looking up at the sky hatefully. Her voice, only a continuous stream of profanities, increased in volume until she was screaming.
Aerilyn... She had grown to admire Aerilyn in the short time they were together. She was such a precious thing, modest and everything. If they had continued, Cora knew she would have found a close friend in Aerilyn. She remembered when her and Will were gagged and tied in the dirt, how it was Aerilyn who first crossed over the ridge and started the sandstorm. If was her storm that gave them enough cover to leave safely. But... God... Aerilyn was gone. Cora would never be able to thank her for saving them, sacrificing herself. And that was a cruel twist of fate she would be burdened with for the rest of her life.
Having only exhausted herself from the outburst, Cora watched the sun slowly sink, turning the sky into smoggy colours of gold, red and orange. It was beautiful, but not to Cora. Tonight, nothing was beautiful. And she almost punched the mountain when she realized that was the aliens' slogan.
Cora rejoined the two Hygrons in the cave, putting on a face that seemed far more placid than she felt. Gathering kindling again, she offered it to the fire pit. "Um... Does anyone here know how to start a fire?"
I'm moving time forward to sun down, we'll be staying the night at Nature's Haven to discuss what da hell they gonna do. Which also means a post will be up soon. XD
Haha, are you sure? Charactes are submitted to the deposit. Reviews are written up here so we can further discuss things before I say yea or nay. I think that's how I set it up, at least... ^^;
Kay, here comes a review. Are you ready? Cuz I'm a heartless critic. Users weep at my posts of terrorly terror. (//holds up sarcasm sign)
Morgan is, in one word, a badass. Exactly what we need. The last Earth Elemental was a sheepish little thing (RIP Kimberly), but with Morgan we have our trumpet. I'm curious on her history, but as long as its not anything too over the top I do love a surprise. (I have a feeling her father was awful.) The appearance is good, obviously there's no motorcycle or guitar. And likely no headphones unless you want to sport old, dead technology. Those beautiful boots would likely be tattered. No trinkets is perfect, I currently have no way to give you an enchanted item since we don't have a source of Nature at the moment. Could you tell me more about your Guardian? He looks like a cool rock man, but what can he do?
Edit: Just remembered you didn't really go into depth on how your power works. Is it the generic kind of earth power or did you put a spin on it?
