Htrea-Rise of Maverick

Htrea-Rise of Maverick

0 INK

In a world much like our own, a darkness has risen and threatens to take over the land.

1,511 readers have visited Htrea-Rise of Maverick since AshFisher created it.

Introduction

Htrea is a world similar in many ways yet different to Earth. Unlike our Earth, which has evolved technologically, Htrea has more magic and therefore shaped more by it. The dress is made up of animal skins and cloth, with stone and wood comprising many of the buildings.

Storyline

It has been five hundred years since the dragon wars, those living in Htrea have felt terror and death again: Maverick has arisen.

Using a gemstone the powers of which only he has grasped, Maverick has stolen the minds of those of his own race; the dark elves. Now, with his army made up of almost all the dark elf population, he reaches out from beneath the ground to concur the world above.

Races

Human: Most common race on Htrea next to elves and dragons. They have learned to develop magic that is lesser than an elf's or dragon's but is still powerful enough to make an impact.
Dragon: Most magical of the races, also one of the oldest. Their powers depend on their color. (ex: White is healing and/or wind, Black is shadow, Blue is water...etc.)
Elf: There are three types of elves. Wood elves, Dark elves, and High elves. Elves tend to live with their own kind, though in some small areas they have started to co mingle.
Demon: Third most magical race on Htrea, their powers depends on their 'type'.
Half Dragon: A mix between dragons and other humanoid races. The most common mix is dragon with human or wood elf.
Orc: One of the least common races, their kind were nearly wiped out during the dragon wars. Tend to keep to themselves, or live with Trolls.
Troll: Also one of the least common races, they are the 'vultures' of the land.
Vampire: There are two types of vampires. One type lives off of blood, they normally have red eyes and are weaker when out in daylight they don't need to sleep. The other kind don't need blood to survive, though they still drink it, they normally have blue eyes, and need to sleep.
Neko: A part cat, part human creature. They have recently appeared throughout the land, some believe that they used to be Nymphs.

Technology/Weaponry
There is no technology, everyone depends on the land and magic for resources.
Weapons consist of swords, daggers etc. There are no guns.

Religion
All people of Htrea pray to what they call the 'dragons of the sky'. They believe that these are what created their world, and what judges them when they die.
NOTE: Instead of heaven or hell, all living things believe that they go to the 'everlasting skies' when they die.

Politics
There are a few kingdoms spread out through the land. Here are their locations, and their respective rulers.

Nogard- A dragon/half dragon/Human kingdom near the mountains of shadow. Durg is the king of this land, his symbol is a bright red gem that rests in his crown.
Nad- A elven kingdom in the forest of Nad. Lakar is the king of this land, his symbol is a gold leaf.
Nimad- A Orc/Troll/Demon kingdom near the ocean of Tralet. Aylia is the queen of this land, her symbol is of Tralet, one of the five.
Eqatue- A Vampire/Neko/Human kingdom in the Valley of Arian. Evia is the queen of this land, her symbol is the sun.
Retan- A Human kingdom in the Valley of Retan, near the ocean of Tralet. Araj is the king of this land, his symbol is a horse running in the wind.

Map- http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd27 ... rldMap.png

There are a few lesser kingdoms, that have no set names or rulers. These are places where all races can live.

Travel
People use horses, ferries(small boats or platforms made of wood) and wagons to travel.

History
This is the story that the elders tell to younger generations:

The great dragons of the sky were once creatures of flesh and blood, as you and I are. They came to this place and found it drik-without life. The five decided to create life for this place they had found. Such was within their power, so they did so.
Hartier-the dragon of earth, stomped upon the soot and rock they found. The shakes he created caused mountains to rise and cracks to appear.
Tralet-the dragon of water, cried upon the cracks her brother had created. Water flowed into these cracks, and nourished the dry land.
Retan-dragon of wind, blew out in a mighty huff at the sight of what had become. Wind blew, sweeping the dust away, and allowing plants to grow.
Ertier-dragon of fire, blew his flames all around. The flames hardened the soil, so that it could not turn to dust again.
Arian-dragon of light, flew into the sky with a mighty roar. Light came to the world, and the five were proud of what they made.

These five dragons roamed this new land, but soon got bored with each other, and started to fight. They argued that there was not enough life on their new home, and whether or not to create fellow creatures to roam the lands with them. Soon they saw reason and combined their powers once again. This time they made the creatures that walk the earth. When they had finished, they were again proud of what they had made. Years passed, and the dragons grew older. They soon agreed that they should return to their home in the sky, and keep a eye on their creations. So the five flew away, and created the everlasting skies; where those creatures they had made could join them when their veras-or life, was over.

Years later, the dragons started a war against those of other races. This is the most famous war in the history of Htrea, for the high number of deaths it caused. The war raged for many years, during which Durg (the king of dragons) watched nonchalantly. Finally, a band of four adventurers—a wood elf, a dragon, a nymph and a demon—set out to make the king of dragons see sense. After reaching the mountain in which Durg lived, they managed to persuade him to call the dragons home, and thus the war ended.

Anya smiled at the suggestion of the Tateminae Gateways, a new path forged for easier travel to Nogard. "There is a second problem with the Gateways, they are closer to the Dark Elves then most would think. That and they go through Dwarf territory, which can also be dangerous." She sighed, it was true that flying would be out of the question. "We can always take the path that Elnin and I did five hundred years ago...it would take a week to get to Nogard, but it is far from Dark Elf territory. We would have to pass through some High Elf camps, but they shouldn't give us any trouble."

The door of the inn squeeked slightly as a hand pushed it open from the other side. Most of the people present in the inn looked towards it, and knew who would be coming in. This was the usual time that the hunt would end, and the hunters would return to their homes.

A well-groomed elf stepped in, a smile on his face as he turned to close the door behind him. His multi-coloured cloak and his liquid movements made him seem like a part of the wall, something that was developed throughout the last five hundred years and had become part of his instincts.

He let his gaze go towards the bar, expecting to see Anya... but he didn't. Anya wasn't there. There was a moment of panic as he remembered her vision; something about a dark elf having gathered an army, and his heart skipped a beat. He whirled around in a circle, his gaze quickly surveying the inn... and there she was. He couldn't help the smile that came over his features whenever he saw her. There was something within her that most people saw and some ignored, but during their time as a married couple, Elnin had come to appreciate her the more every day he came back and saw her here.

He began to walk towards her with instinctive agility. He was so intent on her that he hadn't noticed the other two. There was something that constantly nagged at him, however, as he wove his way through the tables. Something wasn't right. And then it hit him: Anya was not at the bar. That happened often, true. But it hadn't happened before that she would be sitting at a table, with a sword on the table, and two men leaning in like they were discussing something dangerous. Noticing this, he just managed to control his pace and his expression as he stood by the table and inclined his head in respect. He knew Anya would have sensed him as he entered, but in a habit of five hundred years, he put a hand on her shoulder and gave a gentle squeeze. It was his secret sign for telling her that he loved her and appreciated her presence.

“Hello there everyone,” he said softly, like he was in a dinner party. Nonchalance, he had found, was the best way to get what was going on, especially when Anya was there.

Anya looked towards Elnin her sad mood evaporating into a bright smile. 'Welcome back my love! How was the hunt?" she faced the other two. "This is my husband, Elnin. He will most likely want to join in on this little adventure as well." she faced Elnin again. "It will be like old times...traveling the road to Nogard, in hopes of saving the world." there was a unusual tone to her voice as she said this; it was half joking half serious.

Feran looked up as Elnin entered the inn, walked over to the table and said hello. He was not entirely pleased to see Elnin. Feran held views about the animals of the forest that were extreme even within the wood elven community.

As far as Feran was concerned, the only time it was acceptable to kill an animal is when it is ill or wounded beyond healing. As a consequence of these rather extreme view, he and Elnin had had a few unpleasant meetings in the forest when Feran had tried to stop him hunting.

"Good day, Elnin," he said quietly and politely, knowing that it was not wise to try and drag up old grudges in such a public setting.

“An adventure?” Elnin asked Anya, his question apparently meaning to mask a secret moment between them in which they both seemingly remembered the same event at the same place and in such a setting, five hundred years ago.

With the smile from his memories playing across his lips, Elnin turned to Feran.

“Feran!” He exclaimed, appearing genuinely pleased to see him there. Of course it was just a display, however. Anyone knowing about him and Feran could tell what thoughts were going on behind his eyes; eyes that were not quite as smiling as his lips.

Elnin agreed on a lot of matters with Feran. He was a good man, and pleasant company. Plus, he had a lot of great ideas. However, this issue with animals always got between them, and perhaps this was the reason they never came to see the points that were common between them. For elnin, feeding the village was one of the responsibilities that had been unceremoniously dumped onto his shoulders.

Since their adventure five hundred years ago, people of the village had come to regard Elnin and Anya a lot more. They had become, in a matter of days, two people that most people admired and looked up to. Of course there was the initial comment about Anya's lack of sight in the beginning, but seeing her abilities, everyone had agreed that an Anya without sight would be even more useful, perhaps, than an Anya with sight. For Elnin, however, it didn't matter. Sight or no sight, he and Anya shared what most wished to share, and to keep the villagers happy, he had to hunt.

That would be what he would tell Feran.

However, deep within his heart, he knew that was not the only reason. Perhaps most of the reason, yes, but not all. The thing was, Elnin needed something to quicken his pulse, to cause his lips to press together, to cause adrenaline to be pumped into his blood. For that purpose, there was nothing as good as sneaking through the forest, chasing animals and then shooting them from the shadows. For Elnin, there was a certain thrill in moving through the forest, with only a talented few able to register his presence.

"Yes, quite an adventure. Our young...human here has suggested we go to Nogard to gain the help of the captain of the royal guard." she avoided saying half dragon because she was pretty sure that Gustuv thought he was a full human. "I told him we could perhaps convince the oh mighty shadow dragon to give us a little more help than that." Her mouth twitched at the side, she was remembering the bad parts of their journey five hundred years ago. "Feran here isn't sure about gaining the dragon's help, he's worried another war might spring up.....Unfortunately a war will spring up anyways, since the Dark Elf we are ultimately after is set on letting 'all of Htrea burn'."

“Interesting,” Elnin said, sitting beside Anya and holding her hand in his.

For the first time, he noticed the person to whom the sword probably belonged. He inclined his head to him, then let his glance run through the inn, giving everyone a belated nod in return to their greetings.

“So,” he said, returning his glance to their table and biting on his lower lip, “is this war thing really serious?” He quickly turned to Anya. “I'm not saying I don't trust your visions love, but you know as well as I do that visions can have many meanings that might not be apparent.” He gave her hand a brief squeeze, then, asked his question again, letting it hang in the air. “So, do we have any proof of dark elves trying to have war?”

Feran waited a moment before replying to Elnin.

"The Dark elves have been felling trees in their territories at a rate that i for one have never witnessed before. They have drastically increased their hunting activities too. Every day i see more creatures arrive in these parts injured at the hands of the Dark elves. That is proof enough that, at the very least, they are declaring war on the forest." he said, leaning forward in his seat and speaking in a somewhat hushed tone, not wanting to divulge too much of what he was saying to the other customers of the Inn.

"I'm surprised you haven't come across any such creatures during your time in the forest, Elnin," He added "Then again i suppose you would just call them an easy dinner."

He had not intended the words to express his feelings as much as they did, and was somewhat regretful of how biting they came across.

As the trio discussed their tactics, and how they may make way to Nogard, the sound of the tavern doors, accompanied with a slight hush of the bar's rabble that often comes when someone well known enters the area. Though, now was not the time to be distracted by the local celebrities, or trouble makers for that matter. "Well, we've got three options here. Walk through the forest, and risk being caught by the Dark Elves; fly to Nogard and raise the alerts of the Elves; and go beneath it all, perhaps passing through Dwarven territories." Gustav placed his hand on the table. "I vote for the waterways." His tone was serious, and the fire in his eyes was beginning to light. "The dwarves may be a bit stubborn, but they won't attack for no reason. We may be detained until the local Patriarch deems us as harmless - figuratively, of course - but that should be the most of it." Gustav continued mulling over the options in his head "As for the Dark Elves..." at that moment, a man approached from behind Anya, and placed his hand upon her. With his quiet greeting, Gustav paused for a moment, and silently acknowledged him with a nod. "...They may not be an issue. They're territories are above ground, and are known to be somewhat hesitant when it comes to tunnel and cave systems. The waterways seem our best option."

Now that business was out of the way for now, Gustav looked up to the man now present. "Good day." he now verbalize his greeting, his expression remaining serious, his eyes still ablaze. As Anya spoke of him, Gustav nodded and gave an informal salute. "Gustav Adler." he stated gruffly, though he took notice of the way Anya referred to him, and her hesitation to do so. "And I believe the Guard Captain will be able to aid us well, given we can get to him with tangible data." The night folded his arms, and looked toward the table. "Old bastard was always a 'facts and numbers' type, after all..."

Gustav listened quietly as Elnin interrogated his wife of the vision, and Dark Elves, and he chimed in for a moment. "The only proof I would have is that they attacked me on the way here. I may have been close to their territory, but it was on one of the protected trade routes..." Gustav now came to a sudden realization, "...Without a guard to be found, now that I think of it. There may be more evidence present than I'd originally thought..."

Next, Feran presented his evidence. As he listened silently, Gustav shook his head at the Elf's comment. "Come now, leave personal grievances aside, Feran. This is a serious matter, and you'll be getting involved one way or another. May as well work with the people who have at least a shred of information, right?" He spoke confidently, a bit tickled at the fact that a human, a young one at that, had just instilled wisdom to an Elf. One centuries old. "What we do know, is that if this truly comes to pass, we'll need all the help we can get."

Anya shifted her anger going up slightly. Apparently the half dragon had missed her suggested path all together, and she didn't like being ignored. She was about to say something about it when a shiver went up her back, causing it to stiffen. Her eyes glowed bright for a instant as a vision struck her....

Maverick
The Dark Elf looked upon the wreckage that his army had done, and smiled. Dead dwarves were spread out, their leaders head on a pike beside him, on display for all to see. "My army!! You have fought well! Against this town of Dwarves, we only lost a few of our own!! Let this be a sign to anyone who see it what happens to those who stand in our way!!!!!!" A cheer filled the underground city, echoing slightly. The dark elf smiled wider, looking more than a little evil. He was gaining power as he caused more destruction, the gem around his neck fed on the carnage, giving him more power in return. "We march on to Nogard!!! We will show the dragons who the true heirs to Htrea are!!! We will slay Durg, and put his head high enough for the whole land to see!!!" another cheer greeted this. The major hunk of the army would continue to travel under ground, while a third of them would head for Nad. Tonight he would see to it that Nad would burn, and all the other elves either killed or captured. The gem had proved not to work on Dwarves-perhaps because of their stubborn nature-but the Dark Elf knew it worked on elves...so he may as well replace those who died with fresh troops...it didn't matter if they were Wood or High elves, as long as the gem worked. If it didn't...well he figured that Htrea could survive without elves.

Anya snapped out of it with a jerk, tears flowing freely down her cheeks. "The dwarves have been taken....he heads for Nogard, a third of his army is set for here..." she looked to Elnin "They plan on destroying the forest...killing the old and feeble, capturing the young and strong." she sniffed the sadness of the vision not even close to fading....such death and destruction....was all of Htrea going to fall?

"The Dwarves have fallen...Then they are less than a day's march from here!" he said, shaking his head. His mind worked frantically. Nad had a relatively small, disparate and when it came to defences it was severely lacking. They had never faced a threat that could make its way through the dense forests that surrounded and so had never required any other protection.

"King Lakar must be informed, he can summon the High elves - they call this forest home too and they have as much of a duty to protect it as we do," he paused for a moment, as if thinking "And the animals, they must be warned! The Druids of the northern reaches too. Anya, the King will grant you an audience. I'm certain he would. We should go immediately, the more we tarry the closer the Dark Elves get..."

"T-the dwarves?" Gustav found himself shaken deep from this discovery. "Dammit... No!" a heavy fist slammed down onto the table, which was just enough to break away a small chunk, Landsknecht toppling down to the ground. A look, and aura of inexplicable rage came over the man. His fists were clenched, and shook with fury, and his jaw clamped tightly shut, with a furious growl. "That can't be right! The dwarves were strong and resilient! They couldn't have been..." The knight began showing the first glimpse of his stronger emotions, his sadness at the loss drowned out by his fury. "Some of my closest friends were there!" he said in a blaze, all eyes in the tavern now set on the raging knight. 'Thane, you better have made it out alive...'

After a few moments, Gustav attempted to calm himself, rising from his seat, and lifting his blade from the floor. "One third is coming here..." he thought aloud, his anger not interfering with his judgement just yet. "This is a large community... I'm sure that we could fight, if there were some sort of defensive structure... Though I don't know of any, as I'm new to this land." Gustav inspected the face of Feran, who seemed to darken as Gustav mentioned defense. "No defenses then..." he growled, squeezing his blade tighter. He slammed an open palm onto the table once more. "Well I'm certainly not going down without a fight! If we can assemble a force, no matter its size, and perhaps drive back this set of elves, I'm sure with proper routing we can reach Nogard by no more than two days after their main force arrives." The young but experience tactician began laying out strategies in his mind. "The wood elves are famous for their stealth, and archery skills... If we can keep them hidden, perhaps we can attempt a sneak attack, and hit them before they know there will be resistance. That should greatly reduce their capabilities." Gustav looked out the window, and across the street to another tavern, one reserved specifically for the hired blade. "We'll need foot-soldiers as well. I'll see what aid I can scrounge up from the Guild."

At the warrior's outburst, there was a sudden, complete hush in the inn. Now, everyone present knew that there was a danger, and a big one. Elnin raised a hand and called to the human, “Oh, come on now, there is no danger threatening those short fellows, right? There's no need to worry. We have had a lot of travellers that were dwarves and they know how to take care of themselves. A group of bandits, as you say, are not much of a threat to them. Isn't that right folks?” There was a murmur of agreement, or perhaps, of nonchalance, before everyone resumed their talk, with the occasional laughter breaking over the general noise.

Elnin nodded to the warrior in agreement and made a discrete gesture for him to sit down. Then he leaned forward, his lips parted in an expression of half-anger, half-smile. He looked into Feran's eyes, and with as much self-control as he could muster replied, “I do not call them easy dinner. In fact, I didn't even shoot any of them. However, you have to agree that we're getting the same amount of bruised animals from the forest at the side of dragons, and since I can not -talk- to animals, I didn't know if they were attacked by swords or by what.”

He rubbed his face with his left hand and looked at his wife. “Apparently, now we have the proof.” He chuckled softly, trying to get the tense mood to lift from the table – to which he was partly responsible.

“The thing is,” he said, turning to the warrior, “we don't really know of the numbers. Even a third of the dark elf population is more than I and my archer friends can handle. I have a suggestion.”

He paused for a moment, and gave Anya's hand another small, gentle squeeze, as if to ask her to consider this as logically as she could. “Anya has told me of a gem in her first vision. Now that all of this is true, the gem is also there. The best way to disable this army, rather than meeting it by force, is to disable its cause. The cause is the gem. Put this away for a moment though. We have the problem of this approaching army. That makes us have to somehow fight them. However, we are not aware of their number, their equipment, and their condition. Gathering a large force in here to fight this army is going to take a long time, something we don't have. So our best bet in this situation is to disable them, or somehow weaken them. And if these dark elves are coming to us, charmed by a gem, I don't think a few arrows is going to make them retreat. I propose that I go and spy on this army, then come back and report to all of you. Then, based on what I've seen, we could decide. Besides, I will see if I can get a look at that gem. We need to destroy that gem. That should be our first priority. Without that gem, there would be no army, and no loss for the dark elves. I don't like them, but I don't like killing them either.” He waited, then added, “so, if you all agree, I'd better go ready myself.”

Anya pressed her lips in a thin line, then stood "No one is going anywhere by themselves." She looked towards Elnin, hoping that he would accept her reasoning...as for the other two....well, she was starting not to care if they helped or not. "Getting to the gem means going through the army. This Dark Elf is smart, he keeps with the army at all times. He even fights with them, never being by himself, using them as a living shield." she sighed there was just to much going on at one time. "If we stay here, I can not be sure that any of us will survive the attack. The majority of the army still heads for Nogard, along with the gem. There are more people at stake as well for that side. As for Nad...well, lets just say that there is better defenses than you may think." She gave a sheepish smile, not even Elnin knew of the new defense plans. "I would say that Nad is relatively safe, the further the other Dark Elves get from the gem, the weaker that it's control becomes. Dark Elves are normally peace loving people, so if we can somehow break it's power over them, fighting would be no problem at all."

Elnin didn't release his hold on Anya's hand and gently urged her to sit down. The more quietly they could solve this, the better.

“So what you're saying is that Nad is safe? I trust you. But the problem is, what about Nogard? Even if Nogard stays safe, and manages to keep the fighting out of the gates, we're talking about charmed dark elves here. They will be throwing themselves to the point of blades without caring. They will be slaughtered whether or not Nogard succeeds to keep this Mav-whatever out.” He leaned in towards Anya, and pressed his point. “We need to get rid of that gem. What if it keeps getting stronger? What if its range isn't as little as we think it is? What if there is actually no range, and once charmed, the only way to remove the charm would be to destroy the gem?”

He remembered that he was putting too much pressure on Anya, then added softly, “love, we're gambling with a lot of things here. A lot of things, and a lot of lives. If one of usgoes and anything happens to him, it's better than a whole settlement going up in flames.”

He cast his eyes about the table, hoping that any of the other two would agree. Then, perhaps to make Gustav more eager to agree said, “you could go and ask for help in case I failed. Then Gustav could take a look around for his friends, and see if they have survived.”

Feran sighed as Elnin seemed resigned to setting out to destroy the gem.

"You cannot go alone, Elnin. I will go with you. Few Elves know these woods better than you and I," he said, not entirely happy with the idea "Anya and Gustav could no doubt make it to Nogard at least a day before the Dark Elves...If they move quickly and perhaps fly part of the way."

He looked around the table. He hoped Anya was right about Nad's defences. He could not face returning to find the forest destroyed and the animals dead.

"Your plan is crazy, Elnin, but if this gem is the cause of the trouble then i fear it is the only option."

Anya sighed, giving up, she didn't want to be away from Elnin. The gem was the major concern though "You are right, though I still agree that flying would be dangerous...perhaps if I wasn't a white dragon it would work better. As it is I think I might be a tad bit more noticed than the other dragons who fly about. We could always rent horses from that new dealer that has come to the outskirts. It would take less time to travel on horse. As for Nogard I'm sure that Durg will not let his kingdom fall easily."
Suddenly a hush came over the inn, Anya moved her head around, confused. She didn't know it, but the inn had gotten dark, the fire's that lit the place flickering. Shadows swirled by their table forming into a man.

The man stood at 6ft 4in, and had long black hair which covered part of his face. His piercing golden eyes flashed as the shadows withdrew some, and the light in the inn returned to normal. He brushed himself off, then sat in a chair on the other side of Anya. He looked around the room at the quiet patrons, and gave a bright smile. The patrons who had been staring at him looked away, and noise started to rise again as the patrons started to talk among themselves again. Durg looked at the people sitting at the table, noting the two new faces.
"My my, seems the whispers were true. There is a army of Dark Elves causing trouble." He looked towards Elnin, he had taken quite a liking to the young elf over the years. "I also hear whispers that this army is heading for Nogard. Could this possibly be true?"

Jabez wandered the forest alone. His cloak clung to the breeze and his long, dark hair framed his high check bones. He was unaccustomed to this area. His nomadic traits gave him little time to socialize with the locals. Jabez's sensitive ears had brought him to the doors of an inn where a serious discussion was commencing. He yawned from boredom. They spoke of the Dark Elves. For the most part, Jabez kept to himself. But this interested him. Slowly he pulled his hood over his head, a vain attempt to conceal his blood red eyes. He paused slightly before entering, trying to recall his last. The memories were faint, and the thought of blood sent a pang of pain rippling through his fangs. It had been awhile since he last feed. All he could remember was it was a female. He considered turning back. He did not want to become overcome by his hunger. However, the desire was still weak and he could sense the individuals inside were strong. His curiosity won. Slowly he opened the door and stepped inside. "Are there any vacancies?" he inquired, scanning the audience for the in keeper as well as any remaining tidbits of their prior conversation.

Anya was distracted by the new guest, she got up and went to great whoever had entered. "Welcome to Dragons Breath inn, we have several rooms available." Anya smelled blood on this one, but pushed the fact of the scent to the back of her mind. She served anyone and anything that entered her inn, smell of blood or not. "We also have a variety of food and drink, so please feel free to sit and relax. The temporary barkeep will be more than happy to serve you." she gave a small bow then went back to the small group she had been sitting with. She wanted to know why Durg was here, but since he had addressed Elnin, and not herself, she would have to wait.

“Ah, the mighty Durg!” Elnin said, turning to him. In the first meeting, Durg had called himself the "Mighty King of Dragons", much to Elnin's anger. However, over the years, this had become their way of joking when they greeted each other. For a moment, Elnin thought about how things that make you angry tend to get funny when circumstances change, but then he put it aside. No time for philosophy. It appeared his time might be coming to an end.

He nodded to Durg in greeting and said, “yes. I didn't actually like to believe it, but Anya's visions are true. These dark elves, apparently, are being controlled by some gem that this Mav-whatever has. I never remember his name.”

He had not spoken for a while, waiting for Anya to greet her customer and get back. However, he still looked at this new face out of the corner of his eye as he spoke “So, I just proposed, before you arrived, that I go and take a peek at this gem of his. If I can get a chance to destroy it, I will. If not, I'll know of the size, the guards, when they relax and put their shields down, and I'll get back to you with a plan. Feran here kindly offered to come with me, something I quite appreciate. This means one of us could keep watching this army while the other gets back to deliver the news. Meanwhile, Anya and Gustav,” he indicated the human with his eyes, “could go and ask for help. So, just in case I and Feran fail, there will be a big army in Nogard to greet them. Anya says that Nad is safe. I don't know how, but I believe her. Anya doesn't make assumptions lightly. However, speaking of Nogard and Nad, I think we should know of the protection, so we could figure out a way to get rid of this army.”

He turned to his wife and asked, “this protection that you speak of, can it hold back a third of the dark elf population?” He didn't ask her to reveal the protection and what it was, since he didn't want to push her. If she felt like talking about it, she would.

He looked at Feran and gave him a friendly smile. He had offered to come with him, despite their opposing views. That was a noble act that was not gone unnoticed by Elnin, even though Feran didn't appear to be much enthusiastic about it.

Anya nodded "The defenses will hold....though a few people might still die, the Dark Elves aren't exactly weak." She shifted, feeling like she was now the center of attention to eyes outside of the group. Was one of the patrons watching them?

Durg drummed his fingers against the table, mulling over what had been said by Elnin. Anya's visions had proved to be spot on most of the time, it was to bad she didn't have full control over them. He gave a nod of greeting to the other two as Elnin mentioned them. There was no need to fully introduce himself, most knew who he was. His eyes found themselves watching the vampire that had entered, a sight Durg wasn't used to. The vampire in turn seemed to watching them as well, Durg smiled and made a gesture that the vampire should come and join them. The more the merrier, in his point of view.

Jabez wandered to the bar and ordered a drink. He watched the crowed in interests. He was unaccustomed to seeing the many different types of creatures at once. He noticed his presence broke the calm of the room. These people were no fools, they knew he was not human. Slowly he lifted his hood down. Shaking his hair out he looked them over with blood red eyes. One them them motioned for him to come over. Jabez paused, unaccustomed to kindness once his identity was exposed. Leaving his drink untouched, he joined them. Learning so much information at once, his head was buzzing slightly. The Dark Elves alone were fearsome. He could not imagine them being controlled by an outside force. Jabez knew this would only cause bloodshed.

He straightened his back and licked his chapped lips. He would not sit by and allow this to happen. He had caused so much death since his transformation. So much pain. Even now, he only remained living in the memory of his sister, Mia. He waited for the others to come to a pause before speaking. "I wish to join you," He said boldly.

Anya looked towards the voice with some confusion, telling by the smell it was the man who had entered earlier. Why had he joined their table? Did one of their other companions invite him?? She then looked towards Durg, knowing by instinct that it had been him to invite the man over.

Durg gave a smile "Good for you lad! The more help these delightful people get, the better! Right, Anya my dear?" Anya simply gave him her version of a glare. Durg smiled wider "So then, what are our current standings? Elnin and Feran are galloping off towards my part of the world. While Anya and Gustav go in search for more helpers.... Seems to me that this fine lad here needs a job as well no?"

Elnin raised an eyebrow as he turned to Durg. “Of course Durg, yes. Although we would quite appreciate your help if you could provide us with any. After all, we're trying to stop your part of the world from getting covered in blood, right?” He chuckled softly, attempting to get the edge off his words. Then, he looked at the newcomer, nodding in greeting to him.

“I'm Elnin,” he began, then continued, “this is my wife Anya that you've met, this is Gustav, and this is Feran.” He indicated each of them with his gaze as he introduced them.

He paused to let this information sink in, then said to Durg, “you know, I think knowing the state of the army that is approaching Nad would be quite helpful. The thing is, we could set up a hasty plan, just to prevent the defences here from breaking, or make it easier for the defences to hold. For example, my archer friends could set their supply wagons on fire with arrows, or pick them off from behind. Since they are charmed, their only strength lies in brute force. With some tactics, we could stop them from even reaching Nad, let alone testing the limits of our defences. After all, we need to have a plan in case we fail to get this gem.”

Durg smiled brightly, he loved the way Elnin thought. "I could always spy on them." he pointed out, he did after all have the power to use any shadows to watch anyone or anything that he wanted to. "Anya here says that it was a third of this leader's army. I guess we are assuming that he controls all of the Dark Elves, so that also means a third of the Dark Elf population." his smile faded as this thought truly clicked in his head. Only a third coming to Nad....the rest to his kingdom, wanting to destroy his land. This made Durg angry, how dare they come to destroy what was his! The shadows darkened around him as his anger rose. "Oh yes...I can always spy on a group that large. They will be quite easy to find." I will also check in on the other part of the army while I'm at it...I want to see this leader of theirs.

Re: [OOC] Htrea- Rise of Maverick

I'm moving, so won't be able to post as often until I get net hookup for new house.

Re: [OOC] Htrea- Rise of Maverick

Tis allright, I'm not being super strict on when you can post, seeing as my net keeps getting cut off randomly by the people fixing the road by my house.

Re: [OOC] Htrea- Rise of Maverick

ok edited details for Mya...sorry for the mix up. :/

Re: [OOC] Htrea- Rise of Maverick

I'm so sorry i haven't posted guys, i've been crazy busy! I'll make sure i make time to post tomorrow! Sorry! x

Re: [OOC] Htrea- Rise of Maverick

ah...well there aren't any islands on the map.....

Re: [OOC] Htrea- Rise of Maverick

Oh sorry. I took the info from birdguard's character profile. She said she lived on an island off the coast.

Re: [OOC] Htrea- Rise of Maverick

RainWish- Eqatue(you said Equate, so I'm guessing this is what you meant) is a city, not a continent

Re: [OOC] Htrea- Rise of Maverick

It's all right, it may look like we posted a lot, but we haven't even left the inn yet.

Re: [OOC] Htrea- Rise of Maverick

I'm so sorry! I have been at a conference for the past few days without internet connections! Please give me a day or too, I really want to remain in this RP! I will post ASAP

Re: [OOC] Htrea- Rise of Maverick

Ah me, i just could not resist to add Durg into the mix ID

Re: [OOC] Htrea- Rise of Maverick

Maybe...like I mentioned before the gem doesn't work on everyone. Mostly on people with weak spirits or wills.

Re: [OOC] Htrea- Rise of Maverick

I quite like the idea that Elnin and Feran head off to try and destroy the gem, get close to doing so, but then get taken over by Maverick (because they're elves)

Anya and Gustav find this out when the dark elves attack Nogard.

Just an idea :)

Re: [OOC] Htrea- Rise of Maverick

Very interesting....wish i could make a moving Avatar

Re: [OOC] Htrea- Rise of Maverick

So, what do you people think of my new user pic? Pretty snazzy, if I do say so myself. :P

Re: [OOC] Htrea- Rise of Maverick

Post edited, and now one submitted.

And somehow I'm still hungry after a massive meal. :/

Re: [OOC] Htrea- Rise of Maverick

noppa, has to be you to edit it.

Re: [OOC] Htrea- Rise of Maverick

Alrighty then. But, since you're the GM, couldn't you just delete it?

Re: [OOC] Htrea- Rise of Maverick

Its all right, just erase one of the posts, leaving it blank

Re: [OOC] Htrea- Rise of Maverick

Woops... Double post. Sorry. My internet's freaking out since there's a thunder storm going on right now. ^-^'

Re: [OOC] Htrea- Rise of Maverick

Cool. Cool.

I'm just chilling out, and listening to music, personally.
