Dragon's Roost RP

Long ago dragon's ruled the world of She`ak. They were the ruling race and enslaved the human race. They are cruel, tyrant rulers. The humans are growing weary of this injustice

The word of rebellion has been spread through the land. Many of the surrounding races hear of it as well, including the dragons. The races around: Elves, Centuars, Dwarves, an Gnomes feel empathy for the humans, and are also held down by the dragons.

The races decide to send their best warriors to aid the people in their fight. The dragons are also gathering a force of evil. They are gathering, ogres, minotaurs, werewolves, demons, and the undead to fight the resistance.

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

Talon awoke one night to here the sound of a raid. The dragon's had come for their tributes. Many of the village had their's in order. Talon's family had a bad harvest, and his mother ran in his room. She seemed frightened. The dragons had layed their rules at the beginning of the reign. Anyone who does not supply the full tribute once dies.

She said "Run Talon, you must hide. We don't have enough, and we must protect you. Your the future of our name." She quickly pulled him out of bed, being a strong, farm raised woman. She said "Here we made this for such an occasion." She pulled a hidden lever behind the door, and a secret tunnel opened. She told him "Follow the tunnel, it will get you far enough away to be safe."

He crawled for what seemed like hours. The tunnel went underground, and was very tight, like someone used a spade to dig. It emptied into a cavernous room with bare walls with stalagtites extending from the ceiling, and a single suit of armor perched at the back wall. 'Wow' thought Talon 'I never knew this place was here.' He continued to look around the room and suddenly.

'Who goes there' a booming voice comes from inside his head.

"My name is Talon, and who are you?" Talon queries looking around, but noticing noone.

'Ah, it has been so long, and finally you are here.'

"What do you mean?"

'I am your heritage Talon. Long ago before the age of dragon's rule. Your ancestor's fought valiantly to keep you safe. They used me in many of there battles, and were victorious.'

"That doesn't tell me anything. I still want to know who you are."

'Look ahead young one, I am the sword you see before you. My name is Hawkbane, and it is your destiny to use me in combat.'

"I don't understand, what am I supposed to do. I've never handled a sword before."

'Come, take hold of your fate, and wield your future.'

Talon walks up to the suit of armor, and the armor reacts. Its hand grasps the hilt of the sword and it drops to one knee. It turns the blade right side up, and extends it to Talon. Seeming to offer it to him. Talon takes the blade, and he feels the power of his ancestors and the blade pulse through him. "This is the best feeling I've ever had. This truely feels right."

'Good Talon, soon enough we will be one, and I will be nothing more than an extension of your arm."

Kouri started to wander about the village, seeing the Dragon's come for their regular tribute. She had nothing to give, however her clerical dress omitted her from having to pay the fee. Kouri just hoped that the Dragon's here had not heard of her deserting behavior yet.. That would end very, negatively.. Kouri saw the Dragons attacking a farm. Looks like someone forgot to pay their tribute.. Kouri thought to herself as a man covered in blood dashed over to her, begging her for help. Kouri simply shoves the man away, it was not her place to offer help for free. At least, not right now. She needed the money just as much as anyone else did, although she looked like she was better off then most with the Dress she was currently wearing.

Kouri stops for a moment, feeling something off.. Something felt rather, Holy in a situation so Currupt as this? Kouri started walking in the direction of the Holy feeling, and saw a house starting to burn down. The Dragons were gone, the people inside dead as she quickly ran inside to see what was causing this Holy feeling. Looking everywhere she ran into a room with a rather odd loking wall, and decided to lean beside the door to think. She then noticed a small lever, and pulled down on it. It opened up a secret tunnel. Kouri looked down the secret tunnel, blinking in confusion as she thought she saw someone crawling far down in the tunnel. Kouri got onto her hands and knees and started to crawl, feeling dirty and disgusting and kept crawling for what felt like eons.

Kouri finally reached the other side of the hole, looking around in a cavernous room. The Holy feeling felt Strong in here, she looked in the direction of what seemed to be the source of this Holy feeling, and saw a man grabbing a Sword. A suit of armor in front of him seemed to kneel down, which confused her immeasurably. Kouri decided to wait for this man to finish what he was doing; maybe he knew of this strange Rebellion?

Ooc: I'll be using two different colors for my two characters Leox: Green and Blackfang: Blue.

Ic:

The darkness, it was all about the dragon as if controlling the aura about her. The air was thick with the scent of decomposing flesh, the trademark smell of the Great Dragon Lord, Leox Darastrix. The sun didn't dare reflect off those scales that were blacker than the darkest nightmare, a true terrifying sight to gaze upon, by far the largest dragon of them all. Black dragons normally didn't acquire such a size, but after being raised from the pits of the underworld she was now also considered a demon. Nostrils flare open on the top of her skull, she could smell it, the fear of those around her, it was satisfying to know that she was the cause of all this. Her mind was just as twisted and dark as her physical form, void of all light in the eternal pit of darkness. She had waited forever to return to the realm of the living to wreak havoc upon it once more, it had been centuries but the wait was rewarded.

Before man had ever shown himself to the world filled with the ancient races, dragons were rare at the time but she was the building block to make dragons the supreme rulers. With a iron fist, she united the dragons to create a hellish force to unleash upon the smaller races, first only killing them off by raiding their villages, then as time went on they began to rule over the races like nobles. She had a trustworthy personal human slave to clean her scales and read her letters sent by lesser beings, but it was too late to see the treachery that lay in his heart. One night while he was polishing her chest scales her rammed a sword through her heart, killing her as she thrashed about, thus the end of the Tyrant Leox Darastrix, or so they thought. It was one unlucky necromancer whose curiosity got the better of him, he was experimenting on a dead and rotting corpse of a dragon, attempting to reanimate it when it happened.

He didn't mean to call forth a demon, but he was too experience for such a large task, he was ignorant about the dangers in raising a dragon could create. Leox grasped the opportunity to return to the living, inhabiting the dead dragon, the necromancer thought he succeeded, he did in a ways and was rewarded by jaws clamping down on his body, cutting him neatly in half as the dragon devoured his body in two bites, just to make sure he was dead instead of swallowing him whole. The sockets of the dead dragon became illuminated with slime green orbs of glowing light, fueled by magical power that coursed throughout her body, though she was never honestly living in this body. She had to sustain her powers, thus creating a totem of skulls, from fallen dragons to humans, to even the smallest life form, their spirits trapped in those skulls fueling her with even more power.

Now rearing up onto her hind legs to fan out those massive tattered wings, casting a shadow over the village, only a few rays of light trickled through from the rotting holes in the leather wings. Maw parts to reveal crooked yet still deadly yellow fangs from which acidic green saliva oozes down from the lower jaw, the acid splattering on the ground to devour the grass, hissing and bubbling. The other dragons returned from dealing out punishment from those who did not pay tribute to the great Dragon Lord, who turns her head to the sky to let out a screeching roar that could deafen ears if they were close by that large maw.

OOC: I will be using Red Text for Sheryl and Blue Text for Eliese

IC:Eliese walked down a Road one night and thought (this is a fine Night for walking but why am i walking?)
Eliese pondered that as she walked into a Town that seemed Ordinary until she saw it a Building... a House long burned down Something felt Different hear (Whats with this place?) Eliese thought as she walked toward what seemed to Be a Hole in the ground... Eliese Checked if any wolves where near by She found none Then as she was about to turn and walk away she Noticed something weird... A hole in the ground Eliese walked over to it to check it out When she got there She thought she saw People down there so she Went down to check..................



Sheryl Practiced in her practice chamber waiting for another Mission from the Dragons...
(hmmmm I wonder if Leox will give me a mission or if one of Those........ Dragons....... Like that Red one who dreams of power more than Leox has right now Drago Send that it is Leox and not one of those...... Dragons.....) Thought Sheryl as she cut down the last of those Slave,s brought in for her Practice......................

Talon felt a presence enter the chamber, and his eyes cut to the left. He turned quickly around, and pointed the sword in the direction. It was a young girl. The sword made him call out "who are you, and why are yo here?" A menacing stare washed over his face.

He though to himself 'why did I call out to her like that. Why don't I have control over the words I say? Who is making me talk like this'

The sword replies 'it is I. In order to keep you safe I may have need to take control of your body, no one knows how to use me like I do, but wait you shall learn. You will remember everything while you are in this trance.'

Talon thought 'okay, I will trust you, but when I call for control you have to give it to me.'

The sword quietly spoke 'agreed.'

Kouri dashes back into the hole, then a few moments later when she didn't hear pursuit, she looks around the corner. "I-I-I was j-just.." Kouri can't seem to finish what She was going to say; being awstruck by a fear she didn't recognise. She waited for the stranger holding the Sword.. Wait.. The Sword! That was the Holy source that She was looking for. Slowly, Kouri starts to approach, looking first at Sword then at the Stranger holding it. "I-I M-Mean no h-harm at all.." Once again She stammered, feeling fearful of this Holy object. The Fear was quite visible in how She slowly approached. Her Eyes had a mixture of Fear and Curiousity, not knowing why she was Fearful.

Talon begins to lower the sword. When it is by his side he regains control of himself. He quickly spits out "I'm sorry I didn't have control of what I was saying. My name if Talon, but I am curious as to why your here?" Talon slowly turns back to the suit of armor, and takes the sheath from its side. He attaches it to the side of his waist, and turns back to the trespasser.

"I have told you my name, and now I must know yours and why your here." Talon said as he began walking toward her.

Kouri looks at Talon, stopping her own approach and letting her hands glow with a holy aura to try and soothe herself. She was shaking a little. "O-Oh well.. My n-name is Kouri..and I'd like to keep my reasons for being here to myself, if you don't mind.." Kouri looks at Talon, and his Sword, and sensed a connection. Is there a spirit inside that Blade?.. Kouri thought to herself as She waited to see what he would do next.

Talon noticed the new person stepping into the chamber, and yelled "Stop! You are trespassing upon my families ground. You must not be here, without reason." He had done it again. The sword had taken control of his voice.

"Damnit, why do you keep doing that' Talon thought

The sword replied steadily 'to protect my master, and serve the lineage.'

'This is something I'm just going to have to get used to' Talon thought with a sigh.

Talon looked at Kouri, and said "it is very nice to meet you Kouri. You already know my name, but you." His eyes became transfixed on the newcomer. "You I do not know, and I must know if you are friend or foe."

Kouri spins around, seeing the Stranger walk in. Her hands go from a Holy glow, to a dark red. Almost absorbing the light around it as she looks at the Stranger. "Whoever you are.. If you have come to do harm to the Holy object, then I shall make sure that you never leave this Room alive." Kouri says, her whole aura growing darker to tune in with her Currupt spell. Not casting it, but having it ready.

Eliese stopped walking and answered calmly
"I am Eliese and i am here to find out what this strange feeling i am having is something is pulling me here and i think it mite be that sword so no I am not here to destroy that sword but to find out what it is for like my blade it is no normal blade”
Eliese said as she stood there awaiting a response


Ooc: no my sword can not talk but it can influence so both swords are not normal.

Talon looked at the Eliese and said "Nice to meet you, now your both telling me that you followed the power of my sword here? But, how did you know where I was, I didn't even know about this and I lived above the entrance my whole life." He said with a puzzled look.

The sword told Talon 'these people seem to want to help. We may be able to talk with them and find out if they would like to join us to defeat the dragons'

Talon thought 'We do need all the help we can get.'

The sword replied 'that is very true Talon as powerful as I am, alone we can not defeat the Dragon Lord.'

"I do not know how all i know is i was pulled here by..... that... sword"
Eliese said as she thought (Hmmmm this is a weird situation a very weird one indeed).

(Hmmmm it has been awhile i wonder what my next mission will be?) Thought Sheryl as she laid in her bed fully dressed waiting her next mission.


Ooc: BlackFangofReon i do kinda expect you to give me a mission if you would rather not then please let me know and i will just give myself a mission.

Talon looked at both of the women. He begins to speak "My mother and father lived in the house whos hidden path you found. They could not make enough for the harvest, so they died." He began to look down. "So I have decided I want to destroy the evil dragon lord, and I'm going to need help.

I know I just met you both, but something inside tells me that I can trust the both of you. I extend and invitation to both of you to join me. If you are tired of this oppression then I call you to rise up, and defeat the tyrant ruler with me. Leox is not our true master. We controlled them first. What's to say we can't do it again.

I know what I'm asking you is a lot, and I will give you time to think, but I cannot give you a lot. I will be staying at a local hotel. It is located at the end of town, and if and only if you want to come with me. Meet me there and we will talk about a plan."

The sword told him in his mind 'Talon, I hope you know what your doing, and this will be a hard journey, but with these two I am sure we can complete this humongowenus task before us.'

Talon replied 'I know, but as I said to them I have a good feeling about these two."

With that Talon left, and headed to the hotel. The cost of the hotel was enough to take all the money he had. When he got to his room. He sat on the edge of his bed. He laid his head into his hands and wept. He began to mourn his families death. He knew he this was the only time he had to mourn. His task was much bigger than anything he's ever done, and it would take all his nerves and focus.

Kouri followed Talon from a distance, at least fifty feet. Possible more. She would give him a few Minutes to mourn over lost Family.. He was Human, after all. Kouri saw Talon enter the local Hotel, and decided to wait beside a house. Her mind was already set; she had to protect that Holy Blade.. However, would she protect Talon too?.. That was one of the most important questions that flashed through her mind as she let herself Daydream and make future plans..

Eliese followed Talon for a couple minutes then stopped and waited for him to enter the Hotel and stop crying then followed but stopped when she saw the woman who had been there just before her
"And who are you?"
Eliese asked as she looked at the stranger
"You already know my name you heard me adress it but i was there after you and did not hear your name”


Edit>> Ooc: Oh yeah in medieval days they where called inns not hotels

Talon wiped the tears from his eyes, and thought to himself 'why didn't I help my family with the farm. I should have done better, and not been so selfish.'

The sword hastily replied 'Talon, it is not your fault. Though you did not help your family as much as you may have wanted. Nothing can bring them back, but they are with you always. They are inside your heart and your mind. No one truely dies until they are forgotten. Remember this Talon, it will serve you well.'

Talon sat silently for a moment and then his stomach started to roar at him. He said to himself with a slight chuckle "with all of this excitement I forgot I haven't eaten today." He got off the bed, and started to leave the hotel. Just before he got out the door he noticed the two women from earlier talking to each other. He stood silently by the entrance and watched them.
