Waeldeshore: The Wars Beyond [DISCONTINUED]

"You wouldn't happen to know the shortcut to the mistress' chambers would you?". It was worth a shot. What kind of enchanted mansion didn't have hidden passageways?

She was young, like the rest of them, even matching in the mousy brown hair pulled back into a loose braid. Her big brown eyes set against the hulking man, a crinkle rose in her brow. She could get the whip for this, if it came to it ... if she survived ... and if she didn't... well... Without any words, the girl nodded and headed back towards the guest quarters. She led him to the grand hallway where they had all once stood, even his door was still ajar, the pitter patter of rain drops echoed through the void that was this side of the cottage.

On the wall, just across from one of the doors was an odd tapestry. It was gold and gaudy just like the rest of them, but there was a pattern within the cloth. The girl waved her hand over the tapestry and like magic, a door knob appeared. From the folds of her dress, she pulled a key and quickly unlocked the door. Stairs led down to a dank and narrow hallway and a rotting stench seeped from every shadowy corner. Yanking a torch from the wall, she handed it to him along with the key. "This will lead you directly to her room, this key will give you access to anything you need. She must be stopped. Now go!"

~~~~~ * ~~~~~

She wasn't ready for the blow to the wall, despite his warning to step aside, and she clearly wasn't ready for the power in his swing as the wall collapsed beneath the force of the punch. Stone and wood splintered everywhere and the floor grumbled beneath her feet. Such a movement might have easily knocked her into the shadow realm. It had indeed become that easy for such a thing to happen. But she didn't. It was her chance at escape, but there was something inside her edging her to stay. She wanted desperately to see them all, tell them all to leave now. This was not their battle, and only more blood would be shed should they get involved. She didn't have much time to think about anything thought. A loud swing knocked at the door was her cue to leave, and so she did. Quickly scaling the stone siding of the building, she made her way back down to the muddy pavement below.

Curses slipped from her mouth as she trudged through the rain, rounding the side of the house to the front. And then she felt him. "That dirty rat!", she spat, "He could've at least told me .... " But the more she thought about it, the more she understood. She let out a heavy sigh before tracing his steps into the cottage. "May the gods see me struck down before he lays a hand on any one of them ... before this gets too out of hand"

Woo hoo ... Awesomesauce, I get to expand on secret passageways!!! :D <3

I should have a return post this evening :)

I've also been working on something for Isabeau, hopefully I'll get that up later as well.

@Belwicket The door to her quarters was still open I believe, and Arena's character hadn't stepped inside yet. Please be careful with the setting.

And you could make your post a tad longer by backtracking a bit. Last we left Regina she had asked a million questions to Ajax. How did she feel about his answers?

@The Harbinger of Ferocity yup, towards the front of the house. Again, any magic user can feel the Maji, especially after his first attack. And the bell, the rumble and disturbance of the house, the group will feel and hear it.

So at this point, we are open to all posting, @Jon Y @vietmyke

Waeldeshore: The Wars Beyond [DISCONTINUED]

I will have something up for Isabeau later today. Again, my posts at the moment are more of side posts and shouldn't stop any others from posting.

Waeldeshore: The Wars Beyond [DISCONTINUED]

Genevieve stood her ground for the moment, every muscle in her body tensing. It took every bit her of to stall, to try and endure the power shown by the Magi. “What …? Not confident enough in your abilities to fight me like a man?” her strength waned with every word. As the magic left her body, she slumped against the large wardrobe behind her. Her eyes trailed over the talisman a moment, taking in every groove and crack, twist of metal, every hue and hum. “That is an interesting toy you have there, young man. Do you even know the true capabilities of its power?” she growled, her voice growing intense as she fought to keep conscious. Her skin had wrinkled, becoming powder white and spotted with age. Silver sparked through her hair and a hunch added to the woman’s slump.

Her hands fumbled behind her to the tables beside the armoire, trying to find something, anything to use against him. She couldn’t let herself be taken out like this. If she could stall long enough, the others in the house should be able to feel his power, to sense him. She wondered if he was the intruder Regina spoke of … if so, what had taken them so long to get to her?!

Her fingers passed over odds and ends left on the table from previous rituals performed, stones, bones … and then … her only hope. With whatever strength she had left in her, she grabbed the large bell, identical to the one in the dining hall but larger in size, as if used to wake the whole house. She shook it frantically, spouting out some sort of spell... an amplifier of sorts. The bell emitted a loud ring, but as Genevieve spoke, the volume and pitch grew, begging the house to creek and cry, calling to anyone near. It wasn’t long before Genevieve was on the floor, left completely unconscious, and the ringing had stopped. But, not without doing a bit of damage, not without awaking the enchantments that surrounded the intruder. Wood splintered up between him and the crone and the floor groaned beneath his feet. An ominous breeze blew by him, and the surrounding temperature dropped a few degrees or ten.

I see Isabeau has to win more popularity contests :p lol I can't wait to see what happens next!

Waeldeshore: The Wars Beyond [DISCONTINUED]

I promise, I will get something up soon. I promise. But for those waiting to post, go right ahead :)

Waeldeshore: The Wars Beyond [DISCONTINUED]

I will take it as Isabeau successfully getting away and will most likely write up a response to include the attack on Genevieve some time today or tomorrow. For now, any of those who wish to post, please do so, don't wait on me :)
