Barromier's Story

Among the people that was recruited to find the Banatrix thief was Barromier

Barromier is one of many master dwarven engineer in Atherea. He was recruited for his skill to create machinery for their travel to find the thief who stole Banatrix. The dark wave from Lilith didn't effected him because of his Dwarven genes that are immune to illusions but he was binded by Alexy who binded everyone including Rolaf. After he was unbinded, Alexy then bonked him in the head with a club and fell unconscious. He then wakes up just to hear Caylim a weird mind message from someone and Caylim to go home. Barromier was really shocked.

"What? we went all this way just to be told to go home?! is this some kind of joke to you gods?"

He continued rambling sarcastically "I suggested earlier we should just stay on the flying caravan but, noooeee~, you people wanted to camp on groooouuuund~"

Barromier yelled "Everybody get on the Caravan! Carry the unconscious and we are getting out of here and going home!"

He was to angry to care about respect for the goddest or The Knight.

Caylim turned his head to Barromier and said "we shall need your help too, Barromier. We shall need you to fly us to "Atop of Angles Landing"".

Aron turned his head towards Mora, her eyes had turned white and she seemed to not move. That was when he and Takira realized she was somewhere else, though her body was still here. After a few minutes, she returned and turned to Aron and Takira with sadness in her heart."It appears... Even the moon has betrayed us..." She said before falling back onto the grassy hill of the training room. Aron caught her by the hip and placed her down gently.

The lord of death, appears standing before them. The room air chilled to near freezing.

Arktorious Malakath, started talking. Simple enough to say that he was taunting and underestimating them, proud of his own powers. Aron gripped his fist. If not for her sisters safety, he would've strike his uncle by using Arktorious Malakath own frost powers by controling the water elements in the ice. Before Aron could've done anything, Arktorious was gone.

Takira would not stand for it
"But I will allow no one to disrespect her in her own home. Please, if you can, brother, find Caylim. She will know why the Moon has left us. I must send a message of my own. I only pray I will be strong enough to send it." and dashed out, having plans for herself to do.

Aron has now been trusted with two requests. One from Mora: to warn the Paladins in Angles Landing Shrine, and one more from Takira: to find Caylim.

Aron stood and watched as Takira leave.. Aron turned to Mora and watched her rest on the grass. Aron waved his hand softly and placed four wards creating a square around her. Wards of healing, to heal her wounds in faster pace than how it was recovering now... With a blink of an eye. Aron teleported himself to the top of the House of Mora...

Aron closed his eyes and focused his telepathic powers. He raised his hands to his sides and the wind started to circle around him and. His shining hair waving with the wind.. The wind grew stronger and stronger and stronger. His hair waving furiously until the wind suddenly stops. Aron opened his eyes. He had found Caylim... With the information, he suddenly vanish from the spot. He appeared soudless before Caylim, Athos, Alex, Borromier, and the others...

.

Aron appeared before the group just before Rolaf could stray too far. He appeared just in time to hear Athos saying "I say that day has come. I say that time is now." no one had noticed Aron yet.

Aron placed his hand on Caylim's shoulder. She looked up to see it was Aron. Caylim was stunned for three whole seconds and suddenly hugs him "Aron!"

The group was drawn by Caylim's voice and saw their lord of peace, Aron. Some went down on one knees and bowed down while some just stood there watching.

Time was of the essence. He couldn't afford to waste time. He needed to hurry and warn Angles Landing right after gaining information about the moon. He slowly placed his hand on Caylim's head and showed her images of the moon turning from shining bright white to dark and black.

Caylim understood those images "the moon... mother..." she was silent for a while and continued "mother was effected by one of the old gods powers... which one, I cannot say. I am uncertain"

Aron had questions but with no voice to ask, it was hard. Showing images too another sometimes may be misunderstood. Aron decided to show Caylim another set of images of Angles Landing. Images of her saying complex words that would turn off the barrier that is protecting Baron Praxus lethal axe "Eternity's End" and taking it back to Mora. Caylim locked eyes with Aron said "I understand, brother"

Aron smiled at Caylim and took a step back and suddenly disappearing.

-------

When Alexy saw his lord Aron, he bowed to him. When Aron dissappeared, Alexy rose up to see Rolaf, a knight he always admired from when he was a kid until today, walking away. He decided to run to Rolaf "sir!" He caught on to Rolaf and started walking beside him.

"what is wrong sir..? ... where are you going...?" asking confused and curious.

"... Angels Landing..." Rolaf stated as he resumed walking, loud enough for everyone to hear. "Thats where i am headed... Those of you who think they can fight back, then we walk to Dragons Mouth..." With that, Rolaf walked east, his sword in hand and fire in his heart.



-------


Barromier heard Athos saying "I say that day has come. I say that time is now". A while later he heard Caylim calling "Aron!". He saw his lord Aron and bowed down. When his lord dissappeared, he rose...

Barromier turned to Athos and asked "time for what?" confused...

Before Athos could say anything, Rolaf loud voice is heard saying that he wanted to "walk" to Dragon's Mouth. That statement Barromier eyes almost popped out.

"We have a completely functional Airship and he wants to walk.... walk...? ... WALK???!!!" Barromier then goes berserk with a complete rage "WAAARRGHH!!"

Barromier took his wrench that was enchanted by Mora Ven and started bashing the Airship furiously. The airship broke and the engine exploded "KaBOOM!!" Barromier finally calmed down. Everyone was staring at Barromier thinking how are they going to go home now....


-------

Aron suddenly appeared at Angles Landing, outside of the shrine which kept Eternity's End. He stood there in the heavy snow for a while, examining the shrine. The shrine was protected by great barriers and wards meant to keep evil beings and their dark wave from getting through. The ward was very strong that it would take days for a god to break the wards and barriers down. But Aron was one of the New gods, he is one of the good god and were able to get in without any problem. Aron started levitating himself through the entrance where a dozen of Royal Paladins disguised as monks was standing guard. Two of the Paladins saw Aron and quickly bowed down. Aron waved his hand signaling them to get up. He continued walking toward the inner part of the shrine where more paladins stood saw him and bowed down to him. Again he waved his hands signaling them to get up.

He finally reached the deepest part of the shrine where the halls was decorated and a large golden statue of Mora Ven was placed in the middle. There were no axe in sight. Aron knows the Axe is hidden and decided to keep it where it was. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't take the axe because he had no voice to say the complex words to break the stronger ward that is protecting the Axe.

Aron stood before Mora Ven's golden statue. He closed his eyes, rose both his arm beside him and the wind started to circle him inside the shrine. Every paladin was still guarding their designated post, standing still. The wind got stronger and stronger and stronger. Aron's hair waving with the wind. Aron's body started to shine brightly while the wind kept getting stronger. Some of the paladins got shaken a little bit but they stood their ground, not moving. Suddenly white hibiscus flowers appeared and bloom around Mora Ven's golden statue. Flowers to increase the strength of the shrines wards and barriers. Then Aron started showing images in all the paladin's mind. Images of the old gods rising and trying to get their hands on the axe... Aron opened his eyes, his body stopped glowing... Every paladin in the shrine now got the information that the old gods has escaped... Aron then dissappeared and appeared beside Mora Ven in Mora's hall, The Inner Sanctuary.

Luna Duskstalker rised from the bushes and revealed herself. She suggested that mortals was created by gods to fight their enemies.

"What?!" Alexy was no doubt shocked.

Alexy started to rummage his bag and took out a history book of Atherea "we mortals were created by gods??" turning the pages quickly to find where in the book that stated that.

Barrromier was to busy destroying the airship and didn't noticed Luna Duskstalker.

"As I heard,Luna has been captured....If you want my opinion the Hidden sun is going to be the best ally....for me and for you."
"Fear not: I shall help you,Caylim,daughter of the Moon"

"The sun maybe the best ally right now but I do not have control over the sun" she continued "you are welcome to help us, Luna Duskstalker,last of the Cult for the Darkened truth"

Caylim started walking, following Rolaf. Some of the group members stayed and some followed.

---------

The airship's engine exploded, creating black smoke. Barromier was all covered with black dust and started coughing. He turned his head to see Caylim and the others started walking following Rolaf. He took the airships energy stone which is the source of the airships power and started running towards Alexy's side

"damned gods" Barromier said

"not yet, Barromier" Alexy smiled "not yet"

Athos eyed the newcomer with suspicion. The massive, moon blade she carried was unlike any he'd ever seen. Her dark armor clung to her as if was a second skin and she carried herself like she was considerately more comfortable in it then in casual cloth. The way she spoke tipped off the brilliant killer of her dark motives. Whatever she had planned death would surely follow. He had a mind to wash his hands of all of this foolishness but there was still enough of him left that was willing to fight to try and save this world. He clenched his fist but stepped forward to follow Caylim and Luna. He had no intention of joining the others to save the moon or protect Caylim. As far as he was concerned if you weren't mortal you weren't worth worrying about but he followed regaurdless. Willing to see at the very least how this all played out. With luck he may find some way to help rid himself of this trouble with the Gods entirely.

Luna was a little stunned: probably her entrance was way too....sudden.
She noticed it thanks to half of the members were doing something,like the dwarf smashing an engine,a man desperately searching for words in a book,and another guy stared at Luna.
She decided to give answers.

"Don't waste your times on book....the answer you search will never appear now: you should focus more on the incoming trouble....A godlike games of chess.
While the sun....yes it helps....it fills the living with hope."She answered,looking first at the Human and then at Caylim.
She hoped that he heard that,since the wrench beating against the engine was provoking a really loud and disturbing noise.
Here...the engine exploded,releasing a could of black smoke.

"Damned gods"The dwarf said.The human ironically answered:

"Not yet, Barromier... not yet".The smile on the human was hopefull

"Indeed...if we wish to survive we have to think positive...."Luna was thinking.Her plan was bizarre,if not impossible: how can she turn the other Old gods against their leader?

She left that idea....she wanted to know the group before planning.
A man in white cloacks and armed to the hair was staring at her...cryptic blue eyes....hideous...they are hiding something.
Luna knows that feeling: Loss...probably he lost a dear friend or a relative during the road.
Yet she doesn't want to lose the staring game: she looked at the Cloacked man in the same way: she suffered losses....many of them.

"Before we jump to the search for help....I want to your identity....and if you are willing to join.
You know me,but not my intentions...I'm fighting for myself...for the honor of the Cult and my family."
She said,with a challenging voice she was ready for everything: she knew that all the team could leave her.

The group had journey for a few days. During those few days, some of them grew close. Alexy and Barromier had introduced themselves to Luna Duskstalker. They told her some stories about their history and how and why the came to join the group. Alexy just wanted to help and try and know more about his idol, Rolaf, while Barromier was asked to help by Mora, not directly, to manage their machinery that he destroyed furiously.

They came to camp beside a road in the forest of tall trees, Wildlands of the Kitsune.

Caylim was feeling calm for that moment. Nothing has gone wrong for the few days. Rolaf has recovered fully and so have the others. There only flaw were only some negative energies that can be felt released by Athos. Caylim turned looked beside her to see Luna Duskstalker.

"I'm sorry that I have been cold to you, Luna Duskstalker" Caylim said

Caylim poked the campfire with a stick "you are right" and smiled "if we wish to survive we have to think positive.. there is still hope..."

A wolf came out from the darkness of the forest, dropped a bow on the ground. Barking and howling, he leapt all around it and started to grab Alexy's cloths on the wrist. Caylim turned to the wolf and recognize it as Taie, one of Takira's wolf. She examined the bow on the ground and was shocked "Takira's bow!" She ran to the wolf and pulled it by both cheeks "where is she, Taie?"

Luna followed her new-made companions,even if she liked to stay alone,little further than them.
She now knows the dwarf,Barromier,an engineer and Alexy,volounteer to the war.She often focused on the silent Rolaf,the knight.
The only interesting thing he found was that he was silent...maybe more than her.
Another figure that attracted her was the mysterious cloacked man: She thinks he is....imprevedible,unknown...maybe because they just met.
Few times she talked during the journey: she started to speak more during the camping.

"I'm sorry that I have been cold to you, Luna Duskstalker,you are right.if we wish to survive we have to think positive.. there is still hope..."

She turned to Caylim and looked at her with mercy.

"Hope is immortal,unlike us....however it seems that sometimes it leaves us....I should say sor-" Luna was interrupted by a barking wolf,that dropped a bow.
She followed Caylim and observed the bow,suprised....a mastercrafted oak bow,surely indistructible and probably enchanted.

"Takira's bow!" Caylim said,looking at the wolf.Luna had the time to think..."Takira....the Goddess of Nature?"
She thought,while Caylim asked to the wolf,Taie,where was the goddess.
Luna looked at her back; Barromier,Alexy and Athos,then she grabbed her Moonsilver blade,following the wolf in the deeps of the wildlands.

Taie sighed gratefully and began to sprint through the woods, barking and howling to keep their attention. Here! he wanted to scream, She's over here! He pounded the earth, praying that Takira was where she had fallen before. She hadn't even made it back to the hold before fainting on the ground, and Turka was to afraid to carry her without her being fully conscious. Finally, Taie slid to a halt in a clearing and bounded over to the small goddess, who sat on the ground, leaning back against her horse calmly.

"Taie," she smiled, "you're back. Did you bring them?" She looked up as the group came running through the forest, and stood shakily, "Hello, Caylim, everyone." She stumbled slightly, but was able to keep her feet, "I'm glad to see you alive."

She ran as fast as she could,careful to turn when the wolf turned,with her Blade.
She never turned back: she was ensured only to see Caylim by her side: they followed the bark of the wolf,hoping to quickly reach the wounded goddess.

There she is,the wolf stopped bringing them in a green glade.Magically the trees were placed as circle,like to hid the goddess from the world.

"Taie,you're back. Did you bring them?" The goddess of nature said,looking at the wolf,Taie.

"Hello, Caylim, everyone.I'm glad to see you alive."The goddess stumbled and Luna with a flash move reached the goddess...however Takira could keep balance,so Luna moved further.
She moved her hand over her breast,to salute the goddess.
"Am Luna Duskstalker,Goddess.You seems to be wounded,allow me to mend them" Luna said,positioning the Moonsilver blade on her back.
She looked at the Goddess: she appeared to be young,way too young and skinny.
She noticed her cloack and a dagger,but didn't noticed any important wounds.
She was preaparing to heal the goddess: afterall she could summon the plants to her aid.
Probably Luna doen't need help from her magical forces.
"By the way,Takira....what happened?" Luna asked looking the goddess with a certain curiosity.

"I have no flesh wounds, worry not, it is merely exhaustion." Takira took her sister's hand, trying to calm her, "I came on Turka, we were nearby anyway. The Dark Ones, the Old Ones...appeared to us. They are attacking soon, and I...I didn't know what to do. Mora needs help, Aron is awake, and I've...done something. Something inside of me is very awake, and very angry. And I need help. Can you come home? Please?"

Furrowing her brow, she felt as though the trees were telling her that some had been lost, yet they still lived. "Were...there two more with you? I think they've been lost in my forest. I'm sorry, I'll lead them out." She gently touched a tree beside her, and it all began to move, shifting, creating a path for the lost two to follow and find them all.
