The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 4 authors
The guard captain who stood on the gate said: "Let her in! A recruit like you does not have the right to deny such an extraordinary giantess like her access!" The guard then put down his weapon and let Eskea in. Upon entering the town, Eskea got many stares. Many people hadnt ever seen a giant before and the few who had, had never seen a giant who wasn't ugly, bulk or aggressive.
She entered a drinking hall fit for her size and sat down on the ground. "An extra large ale for me!" She called out to the bartender who then nodded, not minding her size.
Emrys Nicholas had arrived in Melangada about a week ago and, since then, had found the city to be filled with two things: vagabonds and rumors. Word traveled quickly through the city, albeit, often false words. However, Emrys had also quickly found that accurate news was spread just as often as false news. The common criminal of Melangada was very quick to find the wealthy traveler, while the wealthy traveler was very quick to find himself an unwealthy traveler. Emry himself had already, on several occasions, found himself in the precarious position of having to face three or four rogues in combat.
And so, when news that a giantess--one that wasn't repulsive but, instead, rather pleasant looking--had reached his ears, Emrys immediately set out to find her, before the vagabonds did.
Between the gathering crowds and the her height, finding the giantess wasn't difficult for the knight. Unfortunately, that also meant that finding the giantess wasn't very difficult for the criminals. Already, Emrys could pick out a few harsh faces that he recognized--some of the guys that had tried to rob him. Emrys watched as the giantess disappeared into a drinking hall, followed by three rugged men. The knight let out a sigh. It was too early for things to get rough and, from the looks of this, 'rough' was exactly were things were going...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He stepped into the hall, a reasonably lofty one--still a bit small for the giantess, though--, to find the giantess sitting on the bare ground with her back towards him. The bartender slid a mug towards her; it was filled with a dark liquid. Ale, Emrys thought to himself. He looked around to see where the three men had gone and found them, each sitting a couple tables away from where the giantess was seated eying her and not even noticing him.
Emrys looked at the giantess and took a deep breath. "Ale. It relaxes the mind, dulls the senses, and gives an overall good feeling once you drink enough of it," the knight noted as he walked up to the giantess. He pulled a seat over and set his shield down on his left. "You've gathered quite a crowd," Emrys continued, eying her. He smiled kindly and gave a slight nod towards the three men positions conspicuously around the hall, "Perhaps relaxing the mind and dulling the senses aren't such good ideas right now." The knight gestured to the seat he had pulled over to ask if the giantess would mind his sitting beside her.
"I am only a simple wandering medic though. I have travelled from the Xar Empire through the warzone to the Land of Light, offering my service to anyone in need of it. I gather knowledge on my way through books and other means." Eskea continued. "Why would a person like you talk to a giantess like me?"
"You would be surprised, some of these people..." His gaze seemed to trailed off to some middle distance. "I've been traveling for some time now and have often found it helpful to have someone else with you--especially when traveling through unfamiliar territories. There are some things that I've seen which would make even the best warriors--"
The Emry's voice trailed off as the door behind the two creaked open. The knight's hand glided toward his sword, which was sheathed in his shield. But it was just a group of men, groaning as they trudged into the hall and taking up two tables' worth of seats.
Emrys gave the giantess an amused look, "You seem more than capable of taking care of yourself." He remembered some unpleasant talk that he had heard about some giants having an appetite for humans and, now, standing face to face with one, he didn't feel any reason to think otherwise. "So, why would a Xarian giantess, go through the trouble of traveling to the Land of Light to offer medical services? I'm sure there are plenty in the Xar Empire who are in need of the same care."
She had lied about two things: The fate of her village and how she acquire knowledge that didn't come from books. She had actually killed her entire village herself and consumed people heads and therefore their knowledge with a dark magic spell which created a hand of dark matter that concealed the heads of the people and when going away, the heads were gone. To be honest, even though Eskea is intelligent and beautiful, she turned out to be more evil in certain ways than the average giant.
"I also came here because of the food. People here are so tasty." She then paused for about ten seconds to wait for the look on the knight face before laughing and saying: "I am just joking. I am well aware of the rumors that humans tell about giants. My name is Eskea by the way. And yours?"
Emrys clasped his gloved hands together and rested his face on them--one of his typical thinking positions. "Sometimes we tell our story so much that, we lose track of what was real and what was not. We try to become what we cannot be, but, in the end, reality catches up with us." He closed his eyes and memories quickly flooded back--a siege upon a Xar-ian city, the horrified looks of the children as their fathers were murdered left and right before their eyes. And that boy... that dark haired boy... The expression on his face--the memory brought a faint chill to the knight's spine.
He opened his eyes and looked at the giantess again. She had just told him her life story, though, Emrys suspected, that it wasn't the entire truth.
Legends of the cure for blue fever had actually existed for centuries: a mixture of a particular violet flower and a pinch of magic--the exact details had been lost in the more recent decades. Simply finding the cure wasn't exactly plausible. The knight continued to eye the giantess. But, he also thought, everyone is entitled to their own secrets.
He was about to continue musing around his own thoughts when he paused--he had just been asked a question and had nearly forgotten. "Ahahaha, I can't believe I haven't introduced myself--so sorry!" He extended his right hand, "Emrys, Emrys Nicholas. I truly don't mind whether you call me 'Emrys' or 'Nicholas'--my name doesn't really matter anyways. And, might I add, if it is tasty people you are looking for, you are probably looking for Gorda--the next town over. The people here are far too scrawny and rugged to be appetizing!"
Bedlis walked down from his white decorated balcony, jumping straight and using fire to propel himself upwards and break his fall, his military boots landing smoothly on the cobblestone floor beneath. The mob just gave him disaproving glares of anger, amongst the citizens he heard whispered "Unbelievable, and these people are supposed to be our protectors!" Bedlis flinched at the remark, and reacted "That I am! I protect you because I feel like it, you should be grateful, and here you are criticising me! Ungrateful cur." He shouldered the man and made his way towards the seasoned tavern that seemed to be causing the commotion.
Bedlis barely heard what the guard were saying, but he managed to make sense of it, replying "I am your superior, soldier. You belong to the city guard, I belong to the national army! You should now better than to question me! Even though we both work for justice, there is a hierarchy, understood?" The guard at which the snappy reply was directed to did not answer, just turned the other way around. Bedlis bit his lip, and barked in anger "Your rudeness is uncalled for! I will not tolerate it! An insult is what it is!" Bedlis focused, he then began searching the depths of his soul. Inside of his soul, he began listening, for the living beat of his spirit. Once he had found it, he tensed his body, just as his spirit was being tensed, to open the conduits within his soul that would allow for his magic power to be released. Once he felt he had it, he raised his gloved hand in the air, and with a angry cry squeezed his own spiritual power free through his hand. Immediately a large crimson sphere, easily half his size, noisily began hissing over his hand. Bedlis' body twitched, as the orb of sheer magical power was lit in fire in an instant. He threatened the guard "I dislike those who disrespect others without any given reason! You did not have the right to ignore me, but that did not stop you. Well, then this will surely have you reconsider next time you are about to insult others!"
With a fierce cry, he hurled the large fire sphere into the blue heavens, before it exploded with a thundering roar. His face had a smug smile drawn onto it, he haughtily looked down to the guard and said "Remember this. And never harass anyone again." The guard was frozen in the spot with fear. Bedlis paid no heed to it and continued signaling the four he had singled out earlier on "You, come here, we are going in. Be on alert, hope for the best, fight for the worst." With that his now bodyguards replied "Yes sir! We saw a giantess earlier, she wanted to do the city a service, so we let her in. Perhaps we should not have?" Bedlis face was lit with a shaken expression, he said "You did what?!"
Standing over the stone walls, the guard captain looked down with disapproval at Bedlis and told him "She was an exceptional giantess, none here has the right of denying her the right to be here. I will take responsibility." Bedlis pretended not to have heard him and open the door to the tavern, his four city guards following him. He came to the bartender with an intimidating glare, to which the later placed no importance. After a brief silence, still nothing had happened, so Bedlis closed his fist and noisily slammed it into the seasoned wooden table. The bartender still continued to ignore him, cleaning a stained glass with a clean white cloth. Bedlis finally spoke up "I am looking for a giant, citizen. Where is she?" the Bartender put down the glass, and stared at Bedlis right in the eye with tenacity "I make no such distinctions with my customers. When you come here, you come to drink, regardless of who you are." Bedlis lost his temper and yelled "Answer me, damn it! Your city may be in danger, we do not have time for this bravado nonsense!" His tone was loud enough for it to be heard throughout the bar and its back rooms.
Suddenly she felt a poke in her back. There was a man with a dagger trying to stab through her thick skin. "Aww. How cute. A little human wants to hurt me." Eskea said and grabbed the man by his collar, picking him off the ground. "I could throw you against the ceiling or crush you like a bug. But because I am a nice woman, I will just give you a warning." She then tossed him onto the ground. "Do not mess with me." Eskea said. The man then said: "All giants should just die! Filthy human eating beings!" "You aren't worth my time." Eskea answered.
He picked up his shield--which was also his sword's sheath--and was about unsheathe his blade when the hall tender broke in.
"Hey, you guys wanna' rough it up? Do it outside!" He rose, a large and muscular dark skinned man, and, while not nearly as large as the giantess, he had an axe in hand. Blood--probably pig's--still dripping from the axe's edges.
Emrys gave the tender a weak smile of 'Thanks'. He didn't return the smile.
Then, one of the other men flipped a coin towards the tender, who caught the coin with surprising speed. The light haired knight frowned as he watched several of the thugs toss coins over to the dark man. The large man snatched the coins out of the air and nodded, stepping through the hall's back door and out of the room, leaving Emrys and Eskea alone--with nearly twenty, rather unfriendly looking figures.
The knight sighed and drew his sword out from his shield. He turned to Eskea, "Fight or flight?"
Bedlis quickly caught up to what was unfurling before him, and jumped back. He said "Don't do somethin-" he landed on his butt rather gracelessly. The pathetic act was received with scornful laughter from some of the shady looking patrons on the corners of the hall. The dark skinned Hall Tender simply sighed, and said "Now, now boy. Don't get so excited, this has nothing to do with you." He sniggered at Bedlis, before making his way to the back door. Bedlis was about fed up with the condescending patrons and Hall Tender. So he quickly got on his feet, speaking with a loud voice "Oh no you don't mister. I am not done talking yet!" The tender ignored him and opened a backdoor.
"Hey, you guys wanna' rough it up? Do it outside!" Commanded the Hall Tender. Bedlis finally caught a glimpse of what he was looking for. A giantess was there alright, in the back of the room, accompanied by a well armed knight it seemed.
Bedlis understood two things from this course of events. First, the Hall Tender had diffused a fight. Second, the Hall Tender had given up on testing his patience, and had finally led him to the room where the Giantess was. Bedlis smirked, before flipping a coin towards the Hall Tender "Good choice, tender." As soon as he started to walk towards the two outlandish travelers, he heard the sound of more coins being flipped. He tried to get a grasp of what was happening "What?-" He then noticed a knocked out man in the floor. "Oh! Not good."
He wanted to interrogate both travelers, and find out what they were after, but having them being hurt by a bunch of cutthroats was not what he had in mind. They would first have to deal with the aggressive looking thugs, before he arrested them and took them for questioning. He turned to his four guards, and noticed they were not around anymore, they were probably waiting for him in the other room, quite probably drinking some booze themselves. "Damn" he muttered to himself, he would wait to see how the two travelers reacted before doing anything to help them, he would act after they did.
There was a loud boom. Perhaps the Commander has some big men with him, Emry thought. Another boom echoed through the room, followed by a third, then a fourth. The military man was yelling something about evacuating and keeping the walls steady. Then, the drinking hall's front door cracked and flew across the room, smashing against the bar--directly in front of the commander--and breaking into four pieces which landed on the floor with three loud thumps. Maybe, I spoke too soon.
For a moment, just the sound of the thumps echoed through the hall. Or maybe that was just an earthquake, Emrys thought a little hopefully.
The silence was broken as a large man--arguably as large as the giantess--trudged into the room. His skin was mostly tinged slightly red, with blotches of pure red here and there. He had thick arms and carried a large butcher blade in his right hand and a circular shield, with a radius of about 3 feet, in his left hand; a larger blade was slid through the back of his belt. Upon seeing the giantess, the man grinned revealing a set of unhumanly sharp teeth.
At that, Emrys frowned--only partially because of the bit of flesh caught between the man's front teeth and his bad breath. He recognized the sharp teeth and rusty skin tone. An Oni, the knight thought, And a tween aged one at that. Things were about to get serious. Emrys mused, At least it isn't an adult.
Then, a tiny scarecrow thin man squeezed past the Oni and into the room. The hair on his head was slightly thinning from age, but the same did not apply to his mustache which curved wickedly. He was dressed lavishly in a slick white coat and equally white trousers; the coat was adorned with glistening, gold buttons. A tall white hat sat on the top of his head and a single eyeglass glistened on his right eye. This time, the knight was confused. Oni didn't typically travel with thin and small men, they typically used those men like toothpicks. The man smirked, eying Eskea through his left eye. "It seems as though I've found the giantess we've been looking for!" Then, he seemed to notice Emry and the Commander for the first time. He stared at the two, slightly emotionless, and reached into his coat, pulling out and checking a small device.
A pocket sundial, the knight realized. That's experimental technology; how did he--
"We have enough time." The man slid the sundial back into his pocket and grinned wildly at the two. A purplish glow encased his hand. "It also seems as though we have the misfortune of being with two witnesses." He paused again--for effect. "A misfortune for them. A fortuitous event for us--Ilfang was getting a bit hungry anyways!"
He let one knee touch the ground, and took a deep breath and closed his eyes. His soul immediately reacted to his command, releasing a whirlwind of magical power all throughout his body, he felt burning sensations all throughout his body, Bedlis groaned in pain. A blueish aura began to fade in around him, with a thunderous sound about it. He opened his eyes, which glowed with a light blue hue, ready to hold the walls with his psychokinesis should the building collapse. He shifted his eyes to the running crowd, and though out loud "I am sure not all of them are cutthroats. Better to let them go I suppose." He took a deep breath, and was about to leave himself, when something in the corner of his eye caught his attention, two figures stood still, both clad in armor, a Knight and a giantess "Hey, I gave everyone an order, that means you too knight. And you giant, we will have a little chat when this is over, but for now run, I'd rather not stay here myself you know!? But I can't leave if you are spacing out in the middle of an earthquake!" he barked an order at the two remaining souls within the building, profoundly frustrated at their callousness towards the earthequake. At this point a thought crossed his mind, they must have been very strong to keep their cool in such a catastrophic situation.
A powerful cracking sound was heard from the door, Bedlis flinched, before quickly eyeing the door. Soon after an even louder cracking sound came from the door, which was starting to bend inwards. "Damn!-" He focused his psychokinesis to create a barrier around him. Not a moment afterwards, the massive wooden door was hurling towards him, spinning in mid air. Bedlis flinched notoriously, closing his eyes reflexively. The door shattered to four edgy pieces after jolting Bedlis' barrier with a loud smashing sound. He knew better than to still believe this was an earthquake. He glared at the door, from within the dust a massive physique was visible. Bedlis managed to appear pleasantly surprised, even if he was quite shaken in fact "Well, well. Say I was not expecting to see you here Ilfang. Did you decide to die a gentleman's death? Or surrender and rot in jail forever, or rather, I think your sentence would be execution by hanging. Although I don't think we could properly send you off. So I will take it upon me to bring you to justice!" He flashed a fake smug smirk, and a short chuckle. Looking down, he found the gawky man that had just arrived to meet them. "It seems as though I've found the giantess we've been looking for!" the small man stated, appearing to be quite pleased and relaxed.
Bedlis, bat his eyes in confusion, before replying "Oh? you are after her too? Then I may have misjudged her, I was certain she was working for you. Since last time we met you told me- nevermind." He got up to his feet, he knew this would be the toughest fight he had ever been in. "Draschieder" he said to the little man, "if I die, I will be sure to take you with me." He eyed the Knight and the Giantess that were standing in the other side of the hall "You two, help me take out these monsters." Directing his attentive look to the two newcomer invaders, Ilfang and Draschieder, before speaking to the Giantess and the Knight "I know you don't know me. But believe me, these guys can more than handle themselves in a fight. And I don't really know you either, but if you help me handle them, you would have more than proven your innocence in my eyes." He began pacing back, before adding "they are the Mafia here, in case you were wondering. And no, they are not exactly local, their influence has a corruptive pull on the entire province. So don't just stand around, do something!" That's when he felt the sharp pain for the first time, he looked to his leg, which had a piece of wood stabbed into it, he exclaimed "Oh bugger, that is so not going to heal." He yelled for help "Knight, Giantess, I am wounded- my leg you see!" The pain was kicking in, but the adrenaline coursing through his system still held it suppressed, he knew that would not last very long however, he was in trouble.
came to the town of Melangada.After another day of fighting on the warzone he came back in the city
with another prisonier which would probably not tell him what he wanted to know so much.Entering the
city gates the guards looked at him more scaried knowing his powers and how he fights still Noxus was
a great ally for them since the moment he leaved the Xar Empire.
"Welcome back in the city."The guardian told Karl trying not to upset him with something.Near Karl
was walking his giant three-headed crow which was holding in it's mouth a man.Soon after entering the
city Karl mounted the crow as his companion started flying,he felt the earthquake seconds after
happened and decided to not remain on the ground.
"My little prisonier unfortunately you must wait your death."Karl said sure that he will obtain
precious informations from him,from the captain his crow captured.After a few minutes the crow
landed near the drinking hall still holding the captain in it's mouth .Anyway Karl during the fight
against him managed to cut off his legs in this way obtaing the victory and capturing the enemy.
He asked the captain what orders he received,the number of soldiers he had under command,what were
their planning and if assasins were sent in the town.At first the captain didn't answered the question.
"Shall we eat him?"One of the heads asked their master."Yes,yes."One head said greedy looking at
the human which appeared to be very tasty to him.The third head dropped the human on the ground
saying "Let's eat this bastard."The man afraid of losing his life,since he lost his legs,started to answer
Karl's questions so he found out that the captain was commanding 600 soldiers,and they were
planning an ambush.Also he found out that one of his soldiers were sent to Limaxa to look for an
assassin.After the captain answered the question Karl looked at his crow,approving their wish.
The unlucky enemy was eated alive by the greedy 3 headed-crow which was very hungry.Maybe for
others was unusual something like this,to interrogate a man in an open place just near a drinking hall
but this wasn't the first neither the last time when he did something like this. He and his crow entered
the tavern not knowing about the giantess or the fight since he wasn't interesed about others,and
didn't wanted to involve in other things as he had his own scope.
Then, Nainnan cried out--his leg had been pierced by a large splinter of wood. The curves quickly returned to Drashieder's lips. This day may actually be more pleasing expected!
"Well, well, if it isn't our little Lieutenant!" He spat each syllable of the last words out like acid. "What a pleasant surprise!"
A large round stone, about the size of a cannonball materialized in his palm--his Sessho-Seki, a killing stone. Fortunately, for its targets, the stone didn't kill instantly upon touch; unfortunately, the Sessho-Seki had a habit of bludgeoning it's targets to death--more painful, more messy, and equally effective.
Laughing, he threw the Sessho-Seki at the injured Lieutenant. "I've always wanted to kill three birds with one stone!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One word echoed through Emry's mind: Crap! It had been years since he last saw a Sessho-Seki--Though traditional beliefs described them as killing instantly, Emry knew otherwise. Those things left nasty messes and left their targets even nastier. The moment that he had heard the military man call out in pain, the knight knew things were going to be bad. He didn't need the scrawny man summon a killing stone.
The white clad knight was the first to react. The moment that the Sessho-Seki left Drashieder's--the name that the Lieutenant had used--palm, time seemed to slow. Of course, time wasn't really slowing--as time magic had been lost many millenia ago. The knight's sword began to glow a shade of sky blue, in reaction to his wind magic--wind magic, propelling him forward and giving him inhuman speed. His shield--a large tower shield--flew out a blur of white, connecting with the black rock. Several sparks shot off of the shield along with the deflected stone which flew off in the opposite direction, straight through the open door-less doorway, smashing into a man on the way out.
Not noting where the stone had gone, Emrys turned to face the short man and the Oni with him. "Eskea! The Lieutenant! Help him!"
As Eskea saw the Sessho-Seki she said: "What a weak magical attack." A dark matter formed around Eskeas sword and Eskea swiftly moved swiped her sword cutting the stone in the right moment, making both halves separate and miss the lieutenant. She then went up to the lieutenant and looked at his wounded leg. "This will hurt shortly." Eskea said and pulled out the piece of wood. With the piece of wood gone she then held her hand over the leg and a bright white light became visible. It was a healing spell. "It isn't such a critical wound. A healing spell with be able to make sure you can fight within a couple minutes again."
Eskea then turned back to the oni. He seemed to be larger than a human but still smaller than her. He only went up to her lower chest. A smirk came onto Eskeas face. "I promise you both that you wont leave this room alive and probably you will rest in pieces. The pieces will be assorted into the volcano glass jars I carry."
"Your large underling should know that even an Oni wouldn't stand a chance against me. And, by the way, I could use some of his organs for my research and for my collection," the giantess said. The Sessho-Seki rocketed back into the room, bouncing off the knight's shield again but, this time, curving after being deflected and flying towards the Lieutenant--only be be split in half by the giantess' sword. Each half smashed into the wall on either side of the military man; dust flew everywhere. "What a weak magical attack."
At this, the grin returned to Drashieder's lips. This woman--clearly--has no idea what she's dealing with. He watched in amusement as the the giantess proceeded to use a healing spell on the the Lieutenant. Smirking, she turned to face Ilfang, "I promise you both that you wont leave this room alive and probably you will rest in pieces. The pieces will be assorted into the volcano glass jars I carry."
Now, Drashieder could no longer stifle his laugh. He laughed uncontrollably for a full ten seconds before regaining his composure. He wiped at his tears, "I'm sorry--couldn't contain myself. That was quite the speech, Giantess."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Emrys had watched in a slight amazement as Eskea tore through the roof. But, when she had split the Sessho-Seki and stated that it was a weak spell, the knight had lost his amazement. A Sessho-Seki is a demonically enchanted rock. In legends, only one stone had existed. They had said that any who touched the rock would fall dead in an instant. While the latter was false, the former had some truth in it--originally there had only been one Sessho-Seki, but, that number had multipled because, upon being split... Emrys glanced at the scrawny man. He was grinning. Crap. He knows. The light haired man rolled his grey eyes. This just keeps getting better and better.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I'm actually quite glad that you destroyed my stone," Drashieder mused aloud. "Not just anyone can do that." He silently noted the slight rumbling noise in the walls where the halves of the Sessho-Seki had fallen. No one but he had knowledge of the true abilities of the stones--it was a object from a foreign continent, no one payed attention to those legends. "Unfortunately, you seem to have underestimated Ilfang's capabilities."
He patted the Oni's red skinned arm. "Do you want to know 'Why neither you nor anyone else for that matter have not collected Oni specimen'?". The man looked at the Giantess but didn't wait for an reply, "It's because Oni are illusionary beings--they don't have a single true physical form."
As if on cue, Ilfang began to grow in size, his head quickly towered above the Giantess'. "Oh, I must thank you for destroying the roof--you certainly allowed for me to 'shed some light on the situation'!" A few moments later, Ilfang stopped enlarging and he was at least twice the giantess' size.
Meanwhile, the rumbling in the walls had subsided. Dashieder flashed his teeth in another grin. "I guess I'll reward you by making this quick!"
The large red Oni swung his also-enlarged blade horizontally. Then, the two walls erupted and two large round stones rocketed towards the giantess.
His boots made a clicking sound with the floor, and he lifted his eyes to meet the giantess' eyes. Bedlis' green eyes were lit with gratitude and friendliness, he could see the giantess' massive golden eyes, he drew a friendly smile to his face, and without words conveyed the Giantess his gratitude, as well as his newfound friendliness towards her. His sight abruptly shifted the Knight ahead of him, he ran towards the armor clad man, and placed a hand over his shoulder "Thank you sir, you saved my life." He took shelter behind the armor clad knight. From Bedlis' point of view, he could see the hulking figure of the red blotted, crimson colored Oni ahead of him. He took a good look at his face, huge horns spiraled over his head, his face was round and populated by two massive eyes, his teeth were sharper than Bedlis would have liked. He tried to maintain his balance as the ground shook under him. "Whoa! Say this gentleman looks dreadful!" Unable to maintain balance over the vibrating floor, Bedlis saw the ground shake violently and immediately seeming to get closer very quickly, all he saw before he closed his eyes was orange woor, he hit the ground with a smacking sound. He groaned and opened his eyes, which displayed a deeply unamused visage. He placed his gloved hands on the floor in front of him, and lifted himself up from the floor, the Giantess was still there where she healed him, he got his feet and hastily looked back. "Ah Knight! I have an idea, I saw that marvelous wind magic of yours, think that could hold my fire in around your blade?!"
He raised his hand, darkening the light that that was impacting his eyes, and continued "I will conjure a potent fire sphere as best as I can right now, see if you can use your wind magic to keep it in place around your blade." His eyes shifted to the giantess "Giant, see if you can overpower that large Oni with your strength, then the Knight can deliver the final blow. I will summon purifying fire, it is extremely difficult to aim, but if the knight cloaks his sword with it using his wind magic, a swift slice should take care of that Oni, but for that the Oni needs to be on the floor, otherwise a swing from that beast could make things quite painful And don't worry purifying fire is a special sort, very unruly, but it hurts dark creatures where they live! It should be the fastest way to take care of the Oni. We can then focus our attention the little madman on the back!" A piece of the Sessho-Seki then flew quickly to their direction. Bedlis raised his right gloved hand, as it glowed with blue light, the Sessho-Seki piece was suddently stop in its tracks. Bedlis had used his warp psychokinesis.
He panted with exhaustion, and lowered his free hand, as a crimson hue faded in around it, it trembled for six seconds, before it violently burned with potent golden purifying fire. He eyed his two comrades, "This about does it! We should get started." From the roof, he could see a three headed crow making its way to the tavern, "And keep an eye out for the newcomer, he might or might not be working for the enemy. Let us handle Ilfang first, Drashieder later and see who that gentleman above the crow is afterwards."
"Drashieder will be next. Consuming his mind could be helpful." Eskea said.
Emrys couldn't help but grin at the Lieutenant's remark. Indeed, Oni were distasteful creatures--though, there was the occasional kind and wise Oni. This particular Oni, Ilfang, was definitely not one of the kind Oni. He was a demon Oni from the tip of his horns to the stench of his toes. That smell certainly didn't improve with size. The light haired man had to resist the urge to disgorge his breakfast. "Hey, any ideas on how to take this guy down?"
From behind the red skinned creature, Drashieder cackled, "Just because it's an illusionary creature, don't think that it can't kill you--it's attacks are very real!"
"Ah, Knight!" Emrys heard the lieutenant exclaim. "I have an idea. I saw that marvelous wind magic of yours; think that could hold my fire in around your blade?!"
The knight ducked beneath a swing from the Oni's blade and swung his shield, deflecting a regenerating Sessho-Seki piece. He leapt back to where the lieutenant was, "I'm not very good with the magic and all..." He blocked another blow from the Oni's sword. Emrys turned to the lieutenant, determination in expression, "But, I'll try."
The lieutenant raised his hand, "I will conjure a potent fire sphere as best as I can right now, see if you can use your wind magic to keep it in place around your blade". His eyes shifted to the giantess, "Giant, see if you can overpower that large Oni with your strength, then the Knight can deliver the final blow. I will summon purifying fire, it is extremely difficult to aim, but if the knight cloaks his sword with it using his wind magic, a swift slice should take care of that Oni." He raised his hand and another Sessho-Seki piece froze in the air. Panting with exhaustion, he lowered his free hand and a crimson hue appeared around it.
Meanwhile, the giantess enshrouded herself in darkness and a colossal hand of shadows erupted from the ground--slowly crawling up the red-skinned creature.
The Oni groaned, the dark liquid-like arm slowly encasing it and restricting its movement. The creature began shrinking.
Eskea's voice echoed in the shadows, "Drashieder will be next. Consuming his mind could be helpful".
"Ah, can't have you doing that." The small man chimed, "Naughty, naughty little Oni-friskies." From his extended fingertips, four white sparks fluttered, like small butterflies, slowly towards the hand of darkness.
The butcher blade swished feebly through the air. Emrys twisted his body, barely evading a second--unfrozen--Sessho-Seki piece, deflecting the Oni's blade with his shield, and lashing at the creature's arm with his blade. With a howl, the red skinned creature dropped it's knife. The knight balanced himself; from the corner of his eye, he could see a potent golden purifying fire blazing.
"This about does it! We should get started," the lieutenant called out.
"Roger that!" The light haired knight jumped over to the lieutenant and extended his glowing blade. Slowly the flames began to encircle Emrys' sword.
"And keep an eye out for the newcomer," the military man added as the shadow of a bird passed over the two. "He might or might not be working for the enemy."
Just as the knight was about to nod, everything took a turn for a possible worse. The four shining butterflies had reached the Oni--now encased nearly up to the chest in shadows and only equal to the giantess in size--. Upon impact, each exploded in a flash of bright light. The light shredded the darkness, leaving several large holes in the shadows. The humanoid creature snorted approvingly. Tossing it's shield to the side, Ilfang drew it's second sword--this one was longer and clearly sharper.
A Talwar, Emrys recognized.
Then, the Oni launched into the air, leapt off a wall, and somersaulted into the air with the grace of a ballerina. It's blade began glowing a purplish hue.
Emrys corrected himself. A Demonic Talwar. He turned to the lieutenant, "Uhm, Commander? I think we have a problem."
Setting
0.00 INK
From the shadow fluid formed a face. "Eskea! Why you do this to Garak?" The face said. Then a face with long hair appeared: "So my beauty, when will you set me free again. I am just waiting to smell your lavender scent." Then there was a large face: "Yoouuuu witcchhh argargargarg!" A face with spectacles appeared: "Sorry Miss that I did you wrong but I only wanted to do research on the body of a giant." Countless more faces appeared. One of them even let out a warning before disappearing again. "Stay away from her! She is evil! More intelligent and more eviillll than the rest of the giant lot." The voice sounded frail and the face was that of archmagister Haran who had left Limaxa for the warzone just weeks ago.
"Ahh. Archmagister Haran. First he attacked me because his prejudice. Then at his defeat he wanted to offer me his body. That perverted old man never thought of just making a sincere apology." Eskea said. What many might not know yet was that Eskea wasn't just some giant who took the souls of those who did her wrong but she was rather a megalomanical witch who viewed herself as rather a goddess who would never hurt someone who doesn't do her wrong.

Re: Heart of Astagon
Hey, what happened to the twenty thugs? I just realized that we had totally left them out amidst the flying Oni, rocketing stones, and insane short dude... Any ideas on what to do about them?

Will do! You will be seeing Bedlis soon enough :)
Re: Heart of Astagon
In any case, you still might have to wait a bit; or you can find a way to break into Eskea and Emry's current conversation! Hope to see Bedlis soon!
