Ascension 3: A return to Chaos

GGGGGRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!

The cry of a beast howled out from down the stream.
Around the curve behind the forestation. Flocks of birds scattered from the trees from where the creature came from.
It was not visible to anyone who observed. Until it emerged from the bush.

Mythic Forest Beast - Cat

Stepping forward this beast was already hostile.
Though it had no fangs its claws dug into the earth.
It was unknown why it was so angry. But it scrapped at its paws.
A caltrop having been carried down stream.
Its body almost seamlessly camouflaged in the forest now visible while it rushed into the water.
Its size was a bit larger than a horse, height and all.

It pounced onto a bandit. Digging into his flesh with its claws.
The bandit attempted to stab the beast and did so successfully multiple times yet it seemed unaffected.
No blood escaping its body except a golden translucent sap.
Once it was done with the bandit and his blood flowed down the river its markings began to glow and the hollow dark in its eyes began to give off a bright neon blue light as it swayed left and right slowly as if in a hypnotic trance.

Water Spirit - Called Siren

The waters began to move as the beast continued to dance.
Soon emerging from the clear blue waters.
She was a bare woman made of water with long flowing hair that met the river.
She held a small harp and played it gently.
The beast began to calm down.

@SleepingSilence
Can't wait!

Nico's Art

I really do enjoy your line work of scenery. Keep it up. I might ask for something, but I'm fine with watching for now.

Ascension 3: A return to Chaos

You can add all items you've gained to your CS if you want to save it as a significant item or pet. If you want the horse you can treat it as your own npc. Keeping its characteristics relative to its prior description.

Ascension 3: A return to Chaos

Vrondi

"Knights? Knights?! The butcher bloodies his hands fewer times than you. Crimson dyes white wings pink, I hope you know."

@geurls

Mirror gave her a cold passive glare. "We soil our feathers in crimson for a good reason. To end those who stain their lips red to lavish in our peoples pain." He leaned back after speaking with a righteous indignation in his demeanor. But as things transpired he looked into the eyes of Constance and saw her admiration for Vrondi. He was visibly surprised by her expression, brows rising. His thoughts were, that one who protested what the Aion did would not be a fan of the King of light. But as he took another sip of his drink he began to think that maybe she was opposed to their actions rather than their goals.

Mirror's eyes lit up in surprise as she let out a steady plain. "I'm going." Which came out her mouth with little time to give reason why. This further gave Mirror the sense she was not opposed to the Aion, or even him. He then looked over to the others. Dremmick and Mason who had their own unique reactions. Ones that made him rub his chin in thought, this was indeed happening.

Dremmick took a sip of his water, thinking it over when Constance jumped up and answered, "I'm going." Dremmick cracked a smirk at this and then followed suit. "I'll go as well... it would seem," he said, his eyes cutting over to Mirror. "Though, I'll warn you, I'm awful nosy, something it seems we have in common."

@Jollan

Mirror raised a brow to Dremmick, not expecting him to smile, and smirk in fact. His curly blue hair met his brows briefly as he nodded to Dremmick with respect and raising his mug up a few centimeters. He held a smirk of his own to his final comment. Taking a long drink of his mug as if he did not hear it before lowering it onto table. But before he could speak on that, his mouth hanging open, Mason started. Since they were right next to each other Mirror had to redirect his attention.

"Y-you would do that? Even after you have already done so much?" he stuttered. Looking at Mirror with a determined expression, *clears throat* "I accept this quest... You will not be disappointed!" he declared, before guzzling down the alcohol before him, and slamming his mug on the table, a fiery look filling his eyes......

@Guy0fV4lor

"Well alright then! I like your spirit!" Mirror chuckled along with a few other Aion knights who couldn't help but hear Mason's resolve. They took in their drinks as well and slammed them down in unison. Lighthearted merriment was permeating the air once again. Mirror cleared his throat. "Alright so. You will be needing a few things. I will not charge you for using these things, but if you lose one of my horses I will have you reimburse me." Mirror brought out a pair of small glasses from within his royal blue coat. He placed them over his eyes as he unrolled a scroll onto the table that he retrieved from within his sleeve.

"Traveling from here to there will take about an hours time. It is still early. Some would say far too early to be drinking. But for those in Vrondi the sunshine is a reason enjoy yourself. Anyhow." His finger pointed to the paper. It was a map, simple yet to the point. His pale almost cold looking right hands index finger traced down the path from Vrondi to the mountain. "A straight path within these nomadic farming fields will lead you most of the way there. Very little forest after that and past the lake will be the mountain. Simple right? Apparently there's a cave. Shouldn't be hard to find and once you DO find it." He took off his glasses and looked each of them in the eye one by one whilst leaning back on his feathers. "Your real adventure will begin."

@Brithwyr

Many of the different patrons paused, seeming a bit disoriented by Vrondi's declaration. Or at least it felt like one. As all of their minds were invaded for his announcement. The Sol who were native to this land were fine with what happened. Their minds on constant telepathic communicative lines. A Sol waitress gave a few patrons some water in response, feeling their unease instinctively. Vrondi however seemed pleased with himself.

"Yo,if you're that dead set on getting it, why dontcha get it yourself? Either way, I'm sure it can wait til after the festival" Vrondi brought his index and thumb to his chin. "My days of venturing out and reaping great rewards are over. I seek to nurture future ventures. And adventurers." He continued to smile despite her obvious nature. Though she did not know he knew he smiled because of her dagger. "It must be fun to be so reckless. When did everyone around me become such stuff shirts?" He chuckled after speaking and made his way to the Aion knight who stood in awe watching him. "Come, show me your seat. Tell me of your valiant efforts in freeing these slaves."

As he walked the Aion knight walked with him and told him of what occurred in Nero. "I see. So we have come across some new heros. Emerging from the dark. Magnificent." He came to a stop at the table where Mirror, Constance, Mason, and Dremmick sat. "It is good to see you again Mirror. You have grown into your role as leader with brilliant results. I am proud." Mirror looked a bit bashful, if it were possible. But he nodded with great respect deeply seeded into his soul. Visibly so within his eyes he admired the King. Unlike himself, he said nothing and merely accepted the words. Vrondi then turned to the others. "I have made this task for some of you in particular. I'm rooting for your success. I came to say hello yet so much has happened. My time is short, so I bid you all farewell. Until we meet again."

With that Vrondi vanished into particles of light. Mirror smiled at the others, looking for their reactions. "Well. I suppose you don't know what this means. It means you're being backed by the Taxis now as well, who work under the King. They have a decent sized armory to choose from. Come, lets make haste." Though they were only a moments away from drinking the Aion Knights rose and began marching out of the tavern, taking Dremmick, Constance and Mason with them in their encircling group. Their large wings making a wall that hid Mirror from civilian view. The festival was still taking place and flower pedals would be found in all of their hair.

A little while later. After closing the doors to the Taxis HQ and rummaging through a room within it, which was covered wall to wall with weapons. Did Mirror exit with several weapons, armors, and shields. As Mirror stood tall, a Sol woman was barely standing on the tips of her toes, reaching for his head. She picked out the pedals from the his blue curls. As this happened Mirror had his arms crossed and looked serious, as if ignoring the woman. He was at the ready with another knight who presented what was wrapped in black cloth to each of the agreed upon travelers. Dremmick, Constance, and Mason.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dremmick was given.

X

Sacred Bark Light Armor - A very light weight set of armor made from sacred tree bark and wool. The bark on its outer layer catches sharp projectiles and is made from a tree bark known for being one of the least penetrable trees. It does not however have an advantage over slash attacks.

X

Old Dagger of Aki - An old, chipped yet still refined dagger. It serves little purpose as a dagger and rather is a ceremonial piece left from an old assassin turned Taxis hero who died long ago. When hit against another stone it sparks aflame and stays on fire until put out. If held too long the wielder may be burned.

Mason was given.

X

Wood Scale Armor - Armor made from hardy wood that have been coated in hardening fluids. It is light weight and can usually stop basic shrapnel and weak to medium slash and stab attacks.

X

Spirit Blade - A long stone and wood blade that is not as effective on its own as steel or iron and is meant to be wielded by two hands. However it allows one to channel magic from their soul into it. Its typical use is teaching how to channel magic into ones own weapon without damaging the weapon.

Constance was given.

X

Alignment Shield - A shield given to the Taxis from the Aion. A representation of their unified efforts to rid the lands of enslavement of seraphim and the mistreatment of slaves. It is a fresh sturdy shield that is said to retain light and is best wielded by one with an affinity for light magic. In the dark it glows and with proper control the wielder can make it a beacon.

X

Taxis Knight Armor - Medium to heavy metal and leather armor which is worn by many Taxis knights. Can channel protective light magic more easily across its surface.

X

Steel sword - A basic yet finely crafted steel sword.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mirror stood watching their reactions to their new weapons and would mention how to use them, as much as he knew how anyhow. Which was not much, simply that they were effective. Dremmick was told what his dagger did. Constance and Mason was told their weapons can channel their auras. Mirror demonstrated to Mason how to use his blade. "First you focus on yourself. Then in your core you release your power but with no fear, no panic in mind. It will flow out naturally." The blade in Mirrors hands began to give off a icy cold mist and its hue turned a bright blue. Like an icicle it gave those around it a cold breeze, the air itself freezing. He then released the weapon to Mason. "You try." He awaited his attempt.

Taxis Knights now gave instructions to Dremmick and Constance on what ways to use their weapons. But most kept it simple. "Use the edge to stab a bandit in the eye." One said. "That dagger can be used to gut a pheasant." Another spoke. They seemed to be enjoying watching what they assumed were amateurs at their trade. The trade of venturing out into the wild lands outside the city gates and outside the farm lands that surrounded it. Vrondi was a peaceful land most would say so the element of fear was hardly there.

"Break a leg out there." One knight joked as he guarded the door, eavesdropping. Mirror paid him no mind and he moved out of their way when leaving. Once they were ready that is. Mirror walked with them to the gate, Taxis knights walking with them to keep his presence protected from fans. He assigned each of them a stead at the busy gates. People entering Vrondi for the festival and few leaving as they were.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dremmick

X

Buen - A middle aged Beige colored horse with cyan markings that moves fastest at night and can see in the dark.

Mason

X

Lulu - A decorated horse that is very friendly and understanding. Its young so can be naive but never leaves its rider behind.

Constance

X

Kou - A pale almost translucent white horse that loves the water. Its a child of one of Mirror's horses and has an affinity for those who wield ice and light.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once they were set to go Mirror approached them and their horses with a slow, and authoritative waltz. "It seems you all are ready. This map will show you where to go. Though you shouldn't get lost. It's a straight path.. Infact." Mirror turned and pointed down through the open gates and to the open fields and past those was a visible mountain peaking over the hills. "It's visible from here." He pulled from within his coat a few potions with an icy cool blue colored liquid inside. "This is my own potion. I don't hand these out regularly." Along with the map he handed a potion to Mason. "Keep the map safe and yourself safe." He then handed Constance and Dremmick potions.

"Drink this only when injured and in a safe place. Now go!" After shouting the horses seemed to listen and kicked up before speeding off. Mirror chuckled as they rode off into the distance. Over the hills the fields had with many plants and farms animals around along with the small simple homes of the nomadic farmers that produced food for the citizens of Vrondi simply to live on their lands. Vrondi guards patrolled these fields too as seen with their flags representing the sun. This protection was what the nomads lived here for.

There they would see the scars of the previous battle. The earth was scorched in some places. While burial sights could be seen scattered throughout the edges of these lands. Makeshift graves, lumps of several bodies thrown into a ditch. It was baking in the sun and the insects made its presence alive.

People watched them venturing out this warm day and didn't do more than wave. A few children began running behind them as if playing a game they were not clued in on. They would continue until reaching the forest, the path would continue inside but the children would not. Most already breaking off to return down the opposite way where it was more populated. The forest cast shadows on them as they made their way through. The horses taking time to enjoy the shade with their simple strolls down the dirt beaten path. Soon they would hear the sound of water rushing along, hidden by the vegetation but not for long. The path led to a stream that cut across it, and on the other side of the stream was no longer a forest. But a clear field straight to the mountain.
