The Counsel Of Elders, Two Months before doomsday...

The stone table was full today, the annual Meeting Of Clans has begun.

"Greetings, my fellow leaders." said Jacova, Leader of angles "I'm sure you have been enjoying this fine day..." He was interrupted by a Vampire elder "Enough small talk Jacovia, we all know why we are here. The Behemoth is awakening and we need to send two champions from each race to stop it before this precious little island sinks!" Jacovia was stunned "Well, someone looked at my speech before the meeting started. That is called Spying, and I don't appreciate it." He ajorned the meeting early.

Nichovia's view

"Did you let that vampire look at my sheet, son. TELL ME!" Jeez, dad can be so annoying. Now he thinks I let some wrinkaly old person see his speech. At least the ceiling of the hall was vaulted. I turned around, ran as fast as I could and took off."Not so fast son. GUARDS!!" I was intercepted mid-air. "Nichova, I need you to go on this quest, so you can save the Island. Here, I got your staff." Big mistake on his part, I took my staff and took off. I blasted the head off a statue of my father for good measure and I left for my island. Don't get me wrong, my island is just a rock off the cost of Sanna-Turu island that is only about 20 by 29 feet. I was realaxing until a Royal Guard found me...

Kaladwen jumped into the a nearby tree, then sighed as the messenger her father usually sent when he wished to tell her something came up. "Lady Kaladwen, your father wishes to tell you that have have been chosen as one of the Elven champions to be sent to Sana-Turu" the Elf said, looking at the girl. "Huh? why do I have to go there?" she asked, jumping down from the tree and landing perfectly on her feet, "And Erin, I told you just to call me Kemi.... in fact I've told told you that to many times to count" she said, rolling her eyes at the Elf in front of her, but smiling kindly as she did so. "I apologize..... Kemi........ You along with another Elf, and two champions from the other races have been chosen to go, that is all I have been told though" Erin said. "Okay, I guess that's all I'll find out for now, thank you Erin" Kaladwen said smiling, "well, I'm guessing he means right now, so I'd better get going" she said and hugged the boy, "Well, I'll see you later!" she said, already running away. Kaladwen then set off.

"So we have a deal?" The nervous Elder looked up at the dark Elf in front of him.
"What makes you think I won't run?" Athal asked with a suspicious look on his face. The restraints which had chained him were now lying uselessly on the floor of the prison cell.
"Because you think you're the only one capable enough to do this." The old Elf looked him in the eyes. Both of them knew that was true.
"I hope that Behemoth thing wakes up the next time a deal goes sour." Athal said coldly and pushed past the Elder. "Though I do rather enjoy fighting my way out. Now where are my blades?"


"You've got to be kidding me." Athal Nerano muttered to himself a few days later. He was looking at the young Elf girl who was going to be the second champion of his race. "She's barely grown out of childhood. Or is she just short? Perhaps both?"

A devious smile appeared on his face as the girl came closer. He held up a hand to greet her.

"Looks like we'll be working together, shorty."

Kaladwen looked at the guy, "Uh..... yeeaah, I guess we will" she said, just realizing what he called her. She glared slightly, where as the usual name didn't affect her as much as it used to, she still wasn't very fond of it. "But.. well, what exactly are we supposed to be doing? I was just told I had to go to Sana-Turu, other then that I have no clue what's going on" she said sighing at the usual lack of information she was given.

Apperantly, my father wasn't suprized by my stunt "Now son, I know you are a little angry at me for accusing you of something. I'm afraid in order to keep you in line, I need to send someone with you on your journey. The only person I really trust to take you anywhere is my royal guard leader, Sir Zacharius" As soon as he finished talking, I saw it, not like saw something see, but I have this strange ability to see the future. Well, parts of it anyway. What I saw was disturbing, a big crack appeared on Sanna-Turu, and then the island strarted to sink. Well, now I thought my quest was for something...

"Didn't that one guy just tell you?" Athal said and scratched himself behind the ear. "Oh, hell, I'll just wait a while longer then."

The tall dark Elf kicked a small stone and watched it hit a tree, producing a loud thunk. "It's not like we have world to save or anything. I don't even know why they're making me take you. You're just going to get in the way..."

His murmurs descended into the inaudible and he stepped aside to let her pass. "The name's Athal Nerano by the way."

"My father doesn't talk to me and he didn't give the messenger much information, I'm Kaladwen, daughter of Droth" she said, then glanced at him, figuring she'd might as well tell him her real instead of just saying it was just Kemi like usual if they were going to work together. "Just call me Kemi though, It's better then Kaladwen, and it wasn't my choice to come so i'm sorry it's inconvenient for you" she said sarcastically, then picked up the rock that had hit the tree and began throwing it then catching it.

"I'll call you whatever I want." Athal said teasingly. "But wouldn't Kala be a better name if you-"

"Ugh." He rolled his eyes. "What am I talking about? The world is going to end around us if we take any longer."

His hands went to the hilts of both his swords and rubbed the leather. Suddenly, his right hand shot out and grabbed the rock Kemi was playing with out of the air. "We'll have enough time to talk while we travel. Now move!"

His expression showed annoyance but eventually the devious little smile returned as he motioned for her to get going.

Kaladwen jumped, startled at Athal's sudden change of behavior, "Sheesh! alright!" she said, looking at him weirdly. "no need to be so pushy" she mumbled, looking a little sad, she always got like that if someone seemed disapointed or suddenly seemed angry at her. She began to fidget as she walked, suddenly nervous around the slight stranger.

"If the pushy is the worst you get to see of me you can count yourself lucky." Athal said looked at her back as she walked away. "Don't take all day. I will only wait for so long."

"It's almost cute when they know so little of the world. Anybody else would've just avoided me." He murmured to himself and stared up at the sky with a smirk on his face.

Because it's the smarter thing to do. He thought with a sense of pride.

Kaladwen sighed, 'Weirdo' she mumbled and sat over by a tree. She wanted to see if he would just leave her if she waited long enough. She might not like it when people got annoyed or angry, but sometimes her curiosity just got the best of her.

Athal yawned and looked back in the young Elf's direction. "Still here, shorty?"

((OOC: Seriously, this is going nowhere and we seem to be only one who are still aware that this RP exists. :( ))

(I know! =[)
Kaladwen opened one of her closed eyes when Athal spoke, then closed her eyes. "I'm here just trying to see how much I can annoy you" she said, grinning a little.

"So are you intending to tell me why I'm going on this silly quest?"
The Goblin Prince slappped Medea hard around the face.
"You should learn to hold your tongue girl, you're lucky I haven't banished you for good."
"That would have been a kindness on your part." She muttered darkly.
"What happened Medea? You always showed such promise. Then you started indulging in... unpleasantries."
"So you think I've betrayed my kind just because I can do this?" She brushed her hands over her face, grinning as the Prince recoiled in disgust at her now human appearance.
"Consider yourself fortunate, Medea, that I have chosen to be leniant towards your displays of disobediance. That is the reason you are going to be a champion. I know that you are one of the most filthsome, sadistic goblins that ever existed, you just got mixed up in... pure activities. This is your chance to prove yourself." He turned away from her. "You shall be accompanied by Le'gaan."
"Le'gaan? As in Le'gaan the brutal? You're sending me with that lunkhead?"
"Yes, he is the greatest of our warriors and should keep you in line." He gave her a cruel smirk. "And when you prove yourself worthy, I will take you without question."
"Don't tempt me to fail on purpose." She muttered darkly, reverting back to goblin form.
"Don't be so insolent. Guard!" The Prince turned away again. "Summon Le'gaan, tell him it's time."
