Introduction
The enemy is unknown, their numbers appear to be unlimited. They are intelligent, organized and above all determined. Every turn, every move King Aldanaz and his advisers make is countered. They have been fighting a losing war for two years with no chance of victory in sight. Six of the seven kingdoms have been overrun already and now this unknown enemy has set its sights on the last. It is a miracle Taramire has held on as long as it has, but now it faces the full threat of the enemy invasion. If King Aldanaz doesn't do something drastic soon Taramire will be next to fall. He has called for assistance in the form of adventurers. Letters have been sent out to all corners of Farador requesting assistance.
Dear Adventurer,
You are one to receive this letter for a simple reason. You are a strong, independent and experienced individual who I believe can assist Taramire in a dire situation. As you may know, Farador is under attack. I will not lie, the enemy is relentless, merciless and the outcome of this war is as of yet unclear. The purpose of this letter is to request assistance from adventurers such as yourself in Farador's time of need. Will you come to Taramire's aid for honor, glory, righteousness, fame or riches? If any of these interest you follow the map provided and speak to a man named Tryvellian.
With hope,
King Aldanaz
*Along with the letter, there is a map to a small fishing village. Both are rolled up together and wax sealed.*
When submitting a character, be sure to have a decent description as well as a history and explanation of equipment. (Tommy with a ten foot long sword won't get it done.)

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 4 authors
"Miss Kael knows how to use a sword now. Well... kinda. She doesn't carry one with her because she is clumsy with it still but I've seen her fight bandits with their own swords quite a few times. Also she-"
"That's quite enough Freya. Thank you but I believe I'm capable of speaking for myself." Kael finished cooking one of the rabbits and set it aside to cool. "I'm pretty awful with ranged weapons, they are harder to aim than my spells. But yes, I picked up a few new tricks." She smiled at Blue before going back to her cooking. "Freya why don't you go and pack up the sleeping gear. By the time you're finished your breakfast should be ready."
"Okay!" Freya was even excited about doing chores. Kael chuckled, making a mental note to track how long it took before the girl calmed down and dragged her feet with chores like she usually did.
As the elf walked off Kael spoke to Blue. "Her whole clan was killed before they could properly train her in anything. They are considered children until they turn 16 and then they are trained in hunting and defending. I found her at a village not far from where her clan had been staying. Silly girl was healing everyone who had been injured by the bandits, even while the humans were attacking her and trying to run her out of the village."
Kael paused long enough to check the cooking meat. "I dont think that girl has a single negative thought in her, she continues to help people and smile despite everything that she has been through. I don't know how she does it. All I know is that the moment I met her I wanted to protect her." She turned to Blue. "She also gets way too excited about a lot of things. In case you hadnt noticed," she chuckled.
Sarium eye's opened slowly at the exclamation. As he rose from his slumber, Sarium noticed two women conversing quite loudly. 'I guess sleeping is no longer an option at this point' He thought to himself. Sarium stood up and stretched his wings and legs. His feathers glimmered in the morning sun, radiating with a purple hue. 'I do believe this form has grown a bit more since the last time i used it. ' He observed his wingspan and his height and concluded he was nearing the size of a small eagle.
By the time he had finished his small inspection, the elf in the encampment had begun to shimmer with excitement. Though he wasn't sure what they were talking about, it was good to see these travelers in high spirits. 'they are going to need to be very motivated to get through the road ahead.' Sarium continued to observe the party, he was hoping he could lazily bum off breakfast from the paladin that was just beginning to arose from his sleep.
It was indeed a beautiful morning, but one thing was off for sure. Somewhere in the encampment, was an uneasy soul. One that could not be at rest and Sarium could feel it. Ever since he absorbed the four souls in his possession, Sarium became a lot more sensitive to the souls around him.
Trying to ignore this uneasiness, Sarium kicked off from the stump and extended his wings. He gave a few hard flaps and rose into the sky quickly. Once well above tree level, he turned into a glide to observe the surrounding area. The morning air was nice and cool and the sky was clear. Mornings like these made Sarium all the happier to be alive.
" Freya is lucky to have you, not just as a friend but also as somewhat of a mentor. I havn't been with the two of you very long, but I can tell that you guys work well together." he said as he finished readying the next piece of meat. Just as he set it down near Kael, he could hear Nasyrk waking in his tent. Blue was glad the paladin had gotten a decent amount of sleep because he had a feeling he would be a very necessary fighter in Blue's battle plan. Before Nasyrk left his tent, Blue finished speaking what was on his mind. " Along with my vow to stay by your side, I will also do everything in my power to make sure no more harm comes her way." The knight spoke in a slightly hushed tone as he saw Freya heading back over with a "mission accomplished" look on her face. She sat back down at her spot next to Kael and Blue began putting the food that was ready onto plates. As he got his first real look at Kael's cooking, his mouth began to water. It was perfectly cooked as well as well seasoned with whatever herb she found in the forest earlier. The knight would have to remember to add these kind of herbs the next time he made food for the group. Everything looked delicious and he couldn't wait to dig in, but first he felt he needed to serve the group. He first handed one of the freshly made plates to Freya, then he went to make the second plate for the paladin Nasyrk. Once finished he set it on the large rock near the fire, which was set to be his seat. He put a small amount on a smaller plate and set it near Nasyrk for the shape shifter, not knowing weather or not he would eat in his bird form or if he would rather transform back into a human. As Kael finished cooking the next portion he began making her a plate. He would take the last portion after it was done being cooked, if his stomach would allow him to wait that long. He quickly thought to himself that maybe he should make food with Kael more often, seeing as though she was this good at it.
He watched Freya pack while he ate. His taste buds were filled with joy. "This.. this is some great food! Give the chef my regards!" He yelled out toward Blue and Kael. Eventually Freya finished and came over and grabbed her bowl. She had a huge smile on her face. Nasyrk liked seeing her happy. "So what has you so excited my Lady?" He spoke to Freya. She began telling him about how Blue was going to teach her how to use a bow. Freya started to ask Nasyrk for advice on using bow as Nasyrk was a trained fighter as well. Nasyrk laughed. "No... I didn't do so good with a bow." He said. "Why not?" Asked Freya. "Funny story. Remember how I started the fire?...Well I technically hit the target." He tried to say without chuckling. "But I can teach you something if that is what you'd like from me; However, you must keep it a secret. You naturally have the gift of healing through birth unlike those of my order. We are granted it by a race that we call Angels. It is very dangerous. We use it as a last resort... As in.. we know we are going to die and our only chance is to give everything for one last shot at success even if it means our lives. Since you have the gift through birth you will have more control over it and in time the danger will cease to exist." Nasyrk whispered to her. Freya was very intrigued by this spell. "What does it do?" She asked. Nasyrk replied, "For us. It's like putting on a very strong shield. But no one can see it; therefore, you don't really know if it's working until someone tries killing you. But the real dangerous part is what you can do that I cannot. When we cast this shield, it rapidly drains our life and our soul. You can overcome that as well as use this shield on others. I don't know anyone who can use this spell as such nor do I know many who know about it. I want you to keep it a secret, until you are ready and the time comes for you to have to use it." Freya's eyes were wide. "How can I learn this?" She whispered. Nasyrk answered, "Tonight when every one is asleep and I am on watch, we can begin. But slowly... we will only practice a short duration at a time, you are young and you need to sleep." He gently put his hand on her shoulder and stood up. "Now." He yelled as he turned and looked at the bowl meant for Sarium. "If you aren't going to eat this, I will!!" Nasyrk yelled out to the sky. As made his way over to his tent to pack it up he heard the faint yelling of, "Mine mine mine mine MINE MINE! MINE!!!" From above.
"If you aren't going to eat this, I will!!" Nasyrk yelled.
Sarium's attention immediately turned towards the encampment. Sitting out in the open was a plate with freshly cooked food, It was a very inviting sight to Sarium. He proceeded to began a dive towards the ground. "Mine mine mine mine!" he exclaimed as he approached. Once he landed, Sarium didn't hesitate to begin eating his meal. He even stayed in his raven form.
'This is excellent!' Sarium thought to himself as he ate his serving. He took a moment to look up and saw a knight standing not too far away. Much like Nasyrk, he didn't seem to terribly concerned with his presence. However, this one was definitely more alert. "are you the one that cooked this meal? If so, you have potential to be a chef." Exclaimed Sarium to the knight.
" In all sincerity, I wish I could tell you I had cooked this meal." Blue said with a smile. " But this one goes out to our quite dragoness over there," He exclaimed while he pointed in her direction with his eating utensil. "All compliments for this meal go directly to our lovely chef." he said with a chuckle. "But don't be too pushy, or we might not get another meal like this any time soon." He said quietly to Sarium. Blue quickly ate the last few bites of his meal and sat down a little ways away from the group. He still had quite a few things to do this day. They had another days walk to get to the place where the frog was being kept, as well as he had to spend time training Freyah to use the bow. He knew that she would have to have some sort of natural talent if she would learn enough to be useful in this upcoming fight. They would have to spend quite awhile learning as they walked, as well as take several breaks to stop and shoot at unmoving targets. Some time after breakfast Blue would have to take her to the area he practiced at earlier so she could learn the fundamentals of shooting the bow. How to make arrows and most importantly how not to point it at anyone or anything she wasn't prepared to hit. It would take time for her to learn the accuracy it would take to hit someone in certain spots and not kill, but for now he just needed her to learn the basics. She seemed energetic enough, so he didn't see a problem in motivation, but that also meant she would be impatient. The knight would just have to wait to see what would come out of her training.
