Introduction
Co-Creator:Rosabella
Set in the medieval land of Gratidia with cascading waterfalls, towering mountains, and fields and fields of tropical flowers as far as the eyes can see. Gratidia seems like the ideal place, an Eden if you will. Unfortunately, like most things, everything is not as it seems, and danger lurks around every corner. New and not so friendly creatures called humans,have began showing up in Gratidia, just along the border. How far will the Natives go to defend their turf? Nobody knows. But, what they do know is that they don't have much time before the creatures begin invading the land.
Natives include faeries, nymphs, elves, witches, and mermaids.
FAERIES
Faeries are small, standing only about 3-4 inches tall, and weighing no more then a few ounces. They have wings and dress in special clothing designed by the elves.
Faeries are kind and will not try to harm you, and will offer assistance if you ask.
All faeries have a special, elemental based power.
Land-Radella, a small, majestic plot of land shaded by the 'mother tree' their life-source. Flowers, and toad stools cover the ground, while small creatures flit around and birds soar.
NYMPHS
Nymphs are also small and can range from a few inches tall to 4 feet in height. They age irregularly i.e. a one year old nymph is like an 8 year old child. They wear whatever nature has granted them, whether that be a few leaves, or a pelt, or nothing at all.
Nymphs are cunning, and cruel, it would be wise to stay away from them.
Nymphs are not born to parents, but are born to either a stream, river, tree, flower, or the sunshine itself, thus their behavior depends on the kind of object they were born to. I.E. a nymph born to a rose will be lustful, and try to persuade you to sleep with them rather then do what you're doing.
Land-Avalon, a dusky place where mist floats along the ground seemingly smothering all those who enter, and small, glowing eyes peek out from the blackness.
ELVES
Elves are tall, and lean, and most are very agile. They also age irregularly, as they are immortal. They wear light tunics, and leggins with moccasins.
Elves are distinguished and refined. They may or may not help you depending on your situation.
Land-Alerus a majestic city, surrounded by huge, white marble walls, trimmed in gold. Their very streets are lined in jewels and speckled in silver. The Elvish is very much like that of a human kingdom, but perfected to the highest degree.
WITCHES
Witches are hit or miss. They are either unnaturally beautiful, or hideously disgusting.
Again..you either find unbearably nice witches, or disgustingly evil.
Land-A nasty area, equivalent to today's slums, in the back forests of Alerus called 'The Troves'. Witches are quite a nuisance to the elves.
MERMAIDS
All mermaids are beautiful, and can take either a walking form or a swimming form, but they cannot travel very far from the water.
Mermaids are like nymphs, cunning, and cruel, stay away from them.
Land-Morghosia, a large lake, surrounded by a small patchworks of trees. Fog that seems to stretch a million miles blankets this area, warning those who enter of the dangers within.

Horris was still slightly confused as to how two mermaids could inhabit one body, or was it just two personalities? Either way, he decided to go along with it because apparently the dangerous one wasn't 'out' right now. He kept his gun raised and listened to her speak, waiting for her to finish all she had to say, and forming his reply in his mind. His facial expression usually blank with attention, but at certain parts in her speech, he would furrow his eyebrows or frown a bit, widen his eyes or glance off to the side, just flashes of the emotions that entered him alongside the words of the mermaid. When she did finish, he paused for a second, then gave her his reaction.
"Ah, it makes me feel so much better that we are a delicacy and not a normal main course, I wouldn't want the blood and flesh of the men who gave their lives for a purpose bestowed upon them to taste bad to you." Horris had felt a little sick when he heard this, but by the time the mermaid had finished he knew she was just trying to justify. "I know you didn't mean it that way, you didn't mean to offend, few would try to offend with a gun to their head." He tapped the barrel of his gun. "But please... I would rather not discuss my kind being eaten."
He let out a breath and calmed himself. "As for April, if she could switch out and eat me, I think I will keep my gun near me now.", he gripped it at his side, "Precautions. Assure her that I am here to help, though." This brought him to his final point, and he sighed deeply, lowering his gun and looking at all of them; "And yes...yes I do have a family, I have not seen them recently but make no mistake I intend to see them again. Unfortunately..." He looks down at Avidin and then looks up at Carmoic, then back down at May with dull eyes, "Unfortunately that does not change the fact that I do not know how to help those two, I do not have the supplies needed, I don't think we expected to be curing this kind of thing." He then quickly continued with, "I do know, however, that the fungus is curable. I will try to remember what I know and give you if you like.

"I know you didn't mean it that way, you didn't mean to offend, few would try to offend with a gun to their head. But please... I would rather not discuss my kind being eaten."
She nodded understand, "Of course, I'm turely sorry about that." She then looked at the metal rod that he held in his hand, so that was called a gun. She had wondered what it was and wasn't really too sure about what it exactly did.
"As for April, if she could switch out and eat me, I think I will keep my gun near me now." She then saw him put the gun by his side and that seemed to make her feel better.
"I understand and I wouldn't expect any less. However as you may have noticed I can't move, which means this body can't either so we aren't too much of a threat to you anyways without any water around. Of course if April does somehow come out and attack, please shot her." At that moment she could feel April mentally slap her, but she ignored it. "I wouldn't wish to share a body with someone that would hurt another being that has been so kind to me."
"And yes...yes I do have a family, I have not seen them recently but make no mistake I intend to see them again. Unfortunately...

May smiled, "Thank you. I'd really apperciate if you would. Before we continue though would you mind taking us back to our pond? I can't do anything with the information that you give me if I don't eat something. Maybe you'd like to join us as well. I can cook the fish for you? Or maybe you are more like me and prefer berries. How does that sound? We can eat and talk then while keeping you safe so you can return to your family?"

"Pickerella will be much happy," the little green girl grinned, her English broken and sharp little teeth shining in the slowly dissipating sun. She began weaving her way through the trees, dragging him behind her in the misty forests of Avalon.

Horris looked down at May and smiled for the first time, but it was only a flash of a smile and quickly faded away. He grasped the gun in only his left hand and looked over at Avidin, then the father, then the mermaid. He rubbed his neck and said, "I think I will stick to berries around you." He grinned again slightly and then it hit him; he looked at the girl on the ground, and then at Avidin on the ground, and at the father. He slowly turned his gaze once more to May and groaned, "I have to carry you, don't I?", He backed away from the two mermen who he expected to growl at him, "Because your infected! Because your infected! I'll leave it up to her though." He looks down at May again, waiting for an answer.
-----------------------------------
Hanzel followed her, having to dodge a few trees as the nymph pulled him along. "W-who is Pickerella?" Hanzel looks up when he hears the nymph mention a name, and nearly stumbles over a root when not watching his feet. "Gah! The woods are getting very thick, are you sure you are taking me the right way?", he asks nervously, brushing his smooth and thick golden-brown hair from one green eye. "Where are you taking me by the way?". Hanzel tried to be wary for there was something unnatural about this creature, but she was helping him it seemed and he couldn't help but feel more secure around her for some reason. She was too small to hurt him, right? Hanzel shook his head and knew this wasn't logical, but right now he was finding it hard to think after the latest traumatic experience; everything was so disorderly.

"I have to carry you, don't I?"
May nodded. "Based on what you say it sounds like it's the best option. I won't be any use if I get infected too right? However another option is if you give me something to eat right now. I just need a little more energy in order to be able to make it back, but I'll still need you help me move them."

Cramoic listened to the conversation "Hmm... i think maybe we could construct a hammock out of raw materials to carry both avidin and may." He said smileing. "I can go and gather the materials myself it's just an option." he looked towards the lake and the forest. "Yeah i can definatly find everything we need."

Horris listened to both of the options given to him, but he still decided that his decision was the best one, "Well, usually that would work, but speed is another factor in this", he said looking over at Cramoic's gills; they were definitely infected. "If only I knew more about this fungus I'm sure I could find herbs around here... but I don't. Mr. Icheru was always-", Horris stopped and looked over at where he had pushed Hanzel, remembering again that he had disappeared; he had never truly forgotten, but the situation had been stressful enough to pull his attention away from it. "Mr. Icheru..." he whispered to himself before beginning again in his regular tone, "yes time is a factor." He turns and strapped his gun across his chest; they needed him for now so he could relax a bit, "I would agree with your making of hammocks but the fungus could transfer to that; and we would need two of them to keep May separate", he looked at May directly, "and if you have things at the pond to eat then depending on the distance it would probably be a waste to look here", he looks around slightly completely ignoring the human bodies as a food source, "The faster we get you fed and them cured, the faster I can get information from you on the location of Mr. Icheru." he kneels down next to May and, after carefully putting her on her back, slips his bulky and somewhat calloused hands under the mermaid's back and knees. "I am going to pick you up on three, I will do it slowly and tell me if anything hurts; ready? One. Two. Three." He slowly, but very easily and securely, uses his forearms to lift her up, holding her across his chest. After he stands up fully he looks down at her, "Everything alright?".

When Horris lefted her up she winced a little, but was she was fine. "Yes, I'm okay." Then looking at Horris she asked, "This was your home though right? I'd think you'd have food with you." She really did think that if she could walk it'd be better since then Horris could carry Avidin and it seemed that Cramoic could still walk just fine. She looked over at Avidin and then back at Horris, what about Avidin? Won't Cramoic soon feel like him and be unable to carry him?" She didn't want to leave anyone behind.

Cramoic laughed. "It will take more then this to knock me down i've had much worse than this." He bent over and picked avidin up. "Well we arn't getting anywhere standing here we are already pretty close to the pond so lets go." He started to jog in the direction of the pond.

"It will take more then this to knock me down I've had much worse than this."
Horris watched the merman jog away and then murmured to April without looking at her, "I appreciate his energy, but it will get worse." He lifted his head and turned around to look at the burnt wreckage behind him. "And in answer to your question, no this is not my home, this was a temporary campsite for us." He looked around as a few remaining flames licked at patches of the tents, and glowing embers seemed embedded in the ground. "You know, I had somewhat forgotten about the food here, but it seems Hanzel accomplished what he aimed to do, he burned everything so that you guys couldn't loot it... he only missed two bodies." He looked at the men who lay untouched on the ground, "Bodies... no, men... good men...", he took a moment of silence, closing his eyes and bowing his head. When he at last looked up and opened his eyes he sighed and turned back around and started to walk to the pond, careful to not jostle May. For a while he carried her without speaking, his face and eyes showing many different emotions as the shock of the situation melted off of him; mostly it was sadness that made itself present, sometimes anger, and at times a bit of rage. During the flashes of intense anger his eyebrows clenched together and May felt a bit more pressure on her body, like his arms could crush her if he wanted to; and maybe he did, but he didn't, he very quickly loosened up and glanced down at her as if to see if he had hurt her. He finally spoke to her after a while, keeping his eyes forward so as not to lose the path, and said, "If he threw that bomb it most likely means he was still alive... hopefully still is now." He looked down at her then, and took a slightly accusing tone, "You know I am not exactly trying to persuade you to let me carry you, believe me I wish I didn't, but it seems we're stuck like this. And I have no grudges against you personally, but losing your troops isn't something taken lightly. They weren't just food, they had names--Charlie, Greg, Jacob, Lewie, Gilfried--and each one of them had families, so did the men who's skulls were on those strings, I'm sure." Horris fumed slightly but didn't squeeze May anymore, he just continued to get things off his chest, "And now, they weren't really my men, but they were close enough, but it is unacceptable for me to now have lost contact with my one responsibility, and have to help the enemy in order to have any chance of getting him back!" He calms down now... then looks at May, and goes to a lower voice, almost a murmur, "I'm sorry, you were not responsible, I came back for your sake as well, it's my choice to do this, my mistake to lose him, I'm sorry. This is not your burden and you don't care, don't need to care." He finishes and looks forward, starting to see a clearing.

May had listened to him carefully. When he mentioned all of those men having family she could feel a pain in her heart, all of those women and children now without the man that took care of them. She didn't like the thought of losing Avidin or her unborn children.
"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry." She could feel tears on her cheeks as thought about what Horris had said. "I don't know anything about the skulls you are talking about, but I am sorry is they were human like you and I'm sorry about your friends. From the sound of it it seems that one may still be alive. Let me help you find him. I fear that the nymph may have taken him. She seemed to have dissappeared around the time of the explosion." Nymphs were dangerous beacause they were so unpredictable. Hopefully Horris' friend would still be alive by the time she could be of any help.

Horris sighed, regretting taking out his frustration on this poor creature who probably wasn't even present in some way at the conflict. He stopped, looking at the poor girl and leaning against a tree, wondering what to say. "I apologize... I did not mean to put this all on you... you seem like a nice one, those things were not right of me to say." He wanted to know of some way to help the girl stop crying, "We were the ones to first fire, and you did not kill one of us. Each of those men, however hard the loss was to take, all of them knew what they were getting..." He stopped and had to set her down for a bit but he was careful to put her down lightly, and he said, "Shit, Mr. Icheru... You never did know what you were getting into..." he doubled over, hitting the tree with his fist and then slowly standing up. "Fuck... Most of us came here prepared and knowledgeable to what we were getting into... most of us meaning those with moderate military training and ranking. Mr. Icheru was not part of the military, and so he had no idea that you existed or that there was even any threat to his well being; we sent him in there fucking blind". Horris turned to her and looked at her straight in the eyes, "None of this mess is your fault... it may be ours, it may be the theirs", he says pointing to the distant pond where the mermen were starting to look to see why he was taking so long, "it may even be that 'April' character's fault, but none of it is yours." He slowly reaches down and lifts her up again, continuing to look into her eyes as he walks on. "That is why I am doing this, because you and your children don't deserve to be part of this conflict. I will be requesting help from you to locate Mr. Icheru, but you don't need to feel an obligation to do so even if those two should", he says, nudging towards the mermen again. Then his expression turned grave, and he said, "I see you also noticed the missing nymph... I had when I first was able to escape, and it worries me. I told you before that we had been trained to know of the dangers this place holds right? Well these 'nymph' characters... I think if we are right, you and I both know Mr. Icheru would probably be better off dead." He then looks forward toward the pool again, giving May a chance to reply even if he isn't waiting for one.

She listened to him explain about how it was her fault, but still it was so sad. They didn't deserve to die that way and she knew that, April even knew that. "I want to help you. As you already said, he is indeed in danger. If he doesn't die from the torment he'll want to be dead. They can be very mischivious creatures." She looked ahead and saw the pond. "It looks like we are here. Would you like to come and see what merpeople's home is like?"

He looked down at her briefly and then looked forward again, trying to find the best way to phrase what he was about to say. He eventually decides to put this straightforwardly by saying, "Do not take this the wrong way but... no, not particularly." He walks within range of Avidin and Cramoir by the time he says, "I wish to help you and get help finding Mr. Icheru as soon as possible." He lays down May and then his eyes catch a large green mass over Avidin's gills and shoulders and he curses, "The moisture here is making the fungus spread faster, this is to be expected but we need to move quickly", checking Cramoir, who actually is still standing tall, Horris lets out a sigh of relief, "You seem fine, you are infected but it is spreading slowly, are you still feeling okay?" He looks up at the merman and stands straight but still doesn't come close to matching the behemoth's height.

"Suit yourself, it's an amazing oppertunity for a human to learn the secert the mermpeople use for allowing those without gills to breath under water." She then used the little energy she had to get her legs in the water and transform. It felt so good to feel the cool water on her fin again, but there was no time to enjoy it. She needed food. She moved her fin a little trying to single to Avidin's mother that they were back and needed help.

Cramoic turned back towards Horris and smiled at him. "Young man i think May is right and i will give you a fast lesson in merman warlords really quick. I have been wounded millions of times stabbed, poisoned heck even electrocuted." He liffted up his armor to show his stomach it had a huge scar running across it." you see that? This is the worst wound i ever got in short i was fighting another merman and well i got practically all my organs ripped out and ripped off i killed him and then laid for about two weeks on a reef regrowing them through magic thats the intesting thing about warlords you see... you have and immune system right? and after you get sick you build up an immunity right? well think of you immune system and mutiply it ten times fold meaning: Once something has hurt me and i surrvive it is ten times more harder to kill me with that certain thing... the only reason i am having trouble with this is because my body has not ever encountered it before if i had my immune system would be kicking it nine ways from sideways... or is it sunday? I can never get that human expression right..." He said chuckling to himself as he turned to start walking toward the edge of the pond as avidins mother floted up with her maids cramioc warned them about the situation.
Cramoic turned back towards Horris and smiled at him. "Young man i think May is right and i will give you a fast lesson in merman warlords really quick. I have been wounded millions of times stabbed, poisoned heck even electrocuted." He liffted up his armor to show his stomach it had a huge scar running across it." you see that?

Horris looked toward May and saw her legs convert to one fin, he looked around, anxious to see if others were there, and he gripped his gun slightly. He then looked down at the wounded Avidin as he spoke, even though he wasn't talking to Avidin, and said, "That may be so, but I would rather stay in my own element, if I could give you watertight skin to avoid drying out, would you want to leave your almost weightless home to lumber across roads?" He then look toward Cramoic as he listened to his reply. He suddenly had a new appreciation for him, and was slightly intimidated, but didn't show it at all. He commented by saying, "Well those are some remarkable feats, and you will most certainly survive this, but you must be careful; you are basically a leper right now, you cannot touch your son's mate or your wife until we cure you, I apologize but if you did at this point they would get the fungus--and they are not warlords."

"Watertight skin?" May thought about that for a moment, "Well I'd only want it if it were temperary and it'd be good knowlage to have incase I ever needed it. It is always best to take advantage of all oppertunities that you are given to learn something new. So if you are still sure that you would not want to learn this technique then that's fine, I just think that you may never know when you'll wish you had learned how to breath underwater."
May then saw Avidin's mother and her maid surface. She hoped that they'd either bring her some food or be able to help her swim down to the bottom of the pond so she could get something to eat.

Cramoic watched as avidins mom brought up food for May... it was squid... he hated squid himself and had to turn away and put a hand over his mouth and said. "What are you trying to kill her? Next you'll be feeding her clams... Now dolphin that is what she needs..." He groaned again as the brought up more food. "Aww come one? is this all you packed? Squid and sea slug?" A scared look came on his face. "No... No... It can't be... SEA URCHIN!" He screamed and ran behind a tree the sound of him throwing up could be heard as avidin's mom and all the other maids laughed.

May looked at the food, it was far from anything that she loved to eat, but it was still editable. Besides at this point it didn't matter what it tasted like, it was food and she needed it to survive. She thanked Avidin's mother and maids then she started eating the squid first. It wasn't a huge squid but it wasn't small either. She quickly ate the whole thing, figuring that the faster it went down the better and less she'd had to taste it, however devouering a while squiod in a short amount of time wasn't an easy task, they were extermely chewy and almost took more energy trying to eat them then it gave her. Next she moved onto the slugs. These were easier to eat as long as she didn't chew. They were small and smooth so she just swallowed them whole, trying not to gag on them. She then looked at the sea urchain, luckily they had prepared it for her so she wouldn't have to work so hard at eating it and getting rid of the stingers. May quickly ate that as well, she was still hungry, but she had eaten enough to be useful finally.
May looked at Horris, "Please tell me everything that you know. The sooner I find a cure for them, the sooner I can help you save your friend."

Horris saw the mermaids surface and gripped his gun tight; he did not raise it at them but his eyes shifted between them but his fingers wrapped firmly around the handle and he brought it up just slightly. He watched them as they handed out the food, and looked silently as Cramoic ran behind the tree. He didn't pay attention to May eating her food because he was distracted and tense from hearing the maids giggle and laugh at the large merman. He was a while in responding to May, as if he didn't hear her or wasn't even aware of her, until she repeated her question for a second time. He glanced around one or two more times before looking at her and beginning with a low voice, "All...", he looks at the maids one more time, "all I know is that this is a fungus, so to heal it we will need something with anti-fungal properties, or preferably fungicidal, although that will be harder to find I think...", he sighs and speaks louder, "I apologize, I do not know a lot about this, Mr. Icheru always knew the most, more than me and Gilfried combined." He ruffles his own hair before letting out a large sigh and turning his head toward the forest and motioning with his gun, "I was thinking you would probably know the type of herbs I am talking about, correct?" He turned again not to look at May but at the maids and Avidin's mother.

"Yes, I believe I do. They aren't common though, but I should be able to find them. Maybe if we are lucky we'll run into your friend while we search." May then swung her fin out of the water and onto the land, allowing it to turn into human legs. She looked at Avidin's mother, "Once again, thank you for the food. I'll do my best to find this plant as quickly as possible. Until then I know you'll take care of them." She then stood up and waited to see if Horris was ready to go.

The nymph continued to drag Hanzel through the forest, into deeper, and darker parts, the mist getting thicker and thicker as they went. For a human it would've been a nearly blind path, but for Lilianna it was almost as normal as plain daylight. It was as if the trees themselves were speakng as they creaked and blew in the eerie wind. She heard him ask who Pickerella was, she laughed unconsciously, he would know soon enough.
Soon they began approaching a pond covered in moss, lily pads, and drift wood. The mist hung specifically tightly to the top of the water. Hanzel heard Lilianna hum a short tune, and then a figure began emerging from the water. Head first, then shoulders, her waist, and then legs, but she only got out of the water to her knees. "Lilianna, you seem to have brought me a gift," she cooed, her voice was as enchanting as her appearance. "Come here, human," she beckoned.

Re: [OOC] Danger in Paradise
Do I need to edit either my Skyla or Cadhla posts to make it easier for you guys to write a response post?
Re: [OOC] Danger in Paradise
Hey Reima could you post for Maya again soon, I want to get Cadhla back into the story again
Re: [OOC] Danger in Paradise
yeah well in writing there's bound to be some corn, or cheese, or fluff, ect. It's inevitable for all writers. And yes that is too bold. ;P
Re: [OOC] Danger in Paradise
LOL I love the coincedence XD just happens to be making a fungus antidote for the exact one :3. Lol Im fine with her finding the herb but thats a bit... corny if i may be so bold :3. I know your just trying to help progress the story I'm just being a little brat X[.
Reminds me of Superman 2.

Re: [OOC] Danger in Paradise
So I need characters for my forum, and I was wondering if you guys are up for the job. I'm not pushing you guys into doing this, so if you don't have the time, you don't have to join, or if you do have the time.

Re: [OOC] Danger in Paradise
I will make my posts shorter If you want, Allison :P. I may be off and on in posting though.
Re: [OOC] Danger in Paradise
Shoot! Your right! I completely misread that. I'll go and edit my post.
Re: [OOC] Danger in Paradise
Ooh, sounds nasty, ummmmmmmm gaaaah X[ ooH! may can walk by you (and of course you don't trust mermaids at first) when looking for the herb and i will remain at the camp gaurding the camp in case mermaids try to take the pond and maybe kill the weakened men (doubt they'd want fungified men) or i could be gaurding May from other mermen, and come across you with her, and we both are like holding gun/bow at each others face or something :D
Re: [OOC] Danger in Paradise
You don't have to, it was just a suggestion, I just thought you were suddenly favoring him. I dirges. Hey maybe you could post that they walk past Skyla's cave and maybe I could get her back into action. I'm having writing withdraws, you know fidgety, twitchy eyes, the whole shebang.
Re: [OOC] Danger in Paradise
ugggggg but I didn't even want him to be a main characteeeeer! *groans*
Allison is just not posting >.< I really was thinking horris was going to die but he didn't get killed, so I used that to my advantage. Now that hes a main character he's going to be harder to kill. Craaaaaaap. >.< I like Hanzel and Gilfried the best. I'm probably going to make Horris' posts shorter as soon as Hanzel gets to talk with Pickerella and Lillianna :/
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Re: [OOC] Danger in Paradise
Also I wanted make a suggestion, this is to you GodZagnith, if you're going keep using Horris this much you may want to create a character profile for him so he can become a main character instead of a background character, especially since you're using him as a main character. Like I said before, this is just a suggestion.
Re: [OOC] Danger in Paradise
Ok I'll work on it, but I don't exactly how to squeeze that in. Maybe she could meet someone, whoever would like to, and that person could ask about her past? Anybody wanna step up to the challenge, granted I know it's not much of a challenge, but a challenge none the less.
Re: [OOC] Danger in Paradise
I think a battle with Ckyla and Cohr would be really interesting, probably Necissary since he will fight a lot like her. And I don't think that Cohr will be arriving at THAT scene, I am thinking he will either be sailing over next to the lake (and maybe through it because water travel is faster) or near the troves. But Cohr is going to be placed high in the rising action (he knows of the threats; he's gonna be prepared) of this roleplay, I would still like to have you make some background for Skyla :D.
