Darkness of Blood (A Dark RP )

Nightfall · Apr 05, 2010 7:05 PM

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH HER?!" Busa bellowed, lunging forward and trying to grab a tentacle before it disappeared into the ground. No luck, too slow as always. Busa roared and aggressively clawed at the ground, throwing dirt and grass behind him. "COME BACK! I HAVEN'T FINISHED WITH YOU YET, YOU TW@T!"

Busa finally stopped digging and stood up, taking a deep breath to calm himself. He looked at Silver. "We must keep looking." He said. "We don't know if they are lying unless we see it for ourselves." His feet shuffled uncomfortably. "I'm sorry you had to see that. I'm their main target, not you. We can't let their cruel, scheming ways stop us." He held out his paw to Silver, gesturing for him to shake it. "Again, I'm sorry. Are you still with me?"

((Hey Rurik, you're needed in my RP.)) wink

Roark just looked at him. He admired the fact that the boy had the guts to apologise, though he wouldn't accept one that wasn't meant.

"I don't accept fake apologies, though its nice to see that your siblings keep your huge ego in check. It's obvious that you must have been brought up in a harsh place far from here, I don't know. But what you have to understand is that what may be the right way to live there is wrong here. You don't have to agree, but while your here you should live the way that others expect you to do.
But right now I don't care anymore, the rabbit will get cold. Have some if you want."

He then pulled a rabbit off of the skewer and tore it in half. The meat was cooked so it tore easily with an accompanying poof of steam. He offered the bottom half to Bali, as she looked interested earlier.

A Guy · Apr 05, 2010 9:51 PM

Bali immediately began attacking the piece of meat that she had been offered. She ripped it apart, spitting out the small bits she didn't want.
Jren was visibly offended by the comment about his ego. "We'll wait for him to fall asleep," Jeren muttered to the others. Aloud and in a more normal tone he said, "That's a shame, I put so much effort into that apology too. But we are one of you, really! Raised somewhere else?! What gives you that idea?! We just have different ideals, that's all..."
Serm grinned. Just you wait... we'll show you that we can always get what we want..." "So how are we splitting the meat?" he asked.

Phoenix_Flyer · Apr 05, 2010 10:02 PM

"However you want, I made them thinking you would want them. The nuts covered in honey can't have filled you up enough."

They were obviously hiding something, Roark had been trained to know when someone wasn't being honest. And by the way they defended where they were from he had the distinct suspision thst they were from even farther afield than he originally thought. He also knew that the one named Jeren hadn't tried.

"I'm not the brightest of dragons, but don't think you can lie to me. You made that apology up on the spot thinking that it would placate me, yeah no thank-you I don't eat sh1t." He said before he went about eating his half of rabbit.

A Guy · Apr 05, 2010 10:12 PM

"I see you're not as stupid as you look," said Jeren, seeing that any further attempt would most likely not work. "Very well, have it your way. We'll meet Dayn one way or another..."

The three older dragons took one rabbit each. They thought that going through so much effort just to make food taste better was a waste of time and effort, but didn't mind the end result. "Ahh, this is good..." said Serm, referring to the rabbit he was ripping apart a leg of. "You must've worked really hard on this." So exposing things to fire makes them taste better... how weird. Marka and Jeren silently ate their rabbit, listening and watching what was happening. "This'll be fine for us," said Jeren, "You can have the rest."

Phoenix_Flyer · Apr 05, 2010 10:25 PM

"Just put it on the edge of the fire embers, I'll make a stew with it tomorrow." He replied as he finished up. By now it was getting dark. "There's no point in starting the treck across the plains tonight, we'll be sitting ducks. I'll take the first watch tonight." He said as he wrapped his travelling cloak about him and sat on a rock just outisde of the edge of the firelight.

A Guy · Apr 05, 2010 10:47 PM

Jeren and Serm sighed, disappointed. Oh, well, Jeren thought, we'll just wait until he lets one of us do the watch. He grabbed one of his wooden containers and, opening it close to his eye to prevent Roark from seeing what was inside, removed and held the lid. The dagger was inside the container, with the blade somewhat coated with a paste that appeared white but with a hint of cyan. Some of the poison had come off onto the container. Jeren touched some of it, and the tip of his finger immediately felt numb. Feeling satisfied, he put the lid back on and put the container back on the makeshift cloth wrapping around his waist.

The four huddled together, as they usually did to withstand the desert nights. They soon began drifting off into a light sleep.

Phoenix_Flyer · Apr 06, 2010 9:39 AM

Roark kept watch for a few hours, he wasn't tired in the slightest, mainly because he couldn't relax around those youngsters, he doubted he would sleep tonight...

After his shift (though a slightly extended one) was over he walked to the younger ones, Serm happened to be on the edge of their little huddle so he chose to wake him up. He wondered about that... maybe they were from the cold North?

"It's your turn to keep watch Serm." He said in a quiet voice whilst touching him on the shoulder lightly to rouse him. Afterwards he walked over to the fire, which was now nothing more than glowing embers. He took the bones out of the leftover pieces of rabbit and put them in an oilskin pouch in his pack, afterwards he wrapped his cloak around him again, leaned against a log and shut his eyes. He doubted he woud sleep, but he decided to shut his eyes to rest them anyway.

A Guy · Apr 06, 2010 12:43 PM

Serm woke up, he was not sleeping deeply. After watching Roark lay down, he began to walk about in circles around the whole group. Twice he thought he heard something, but figured it was only an animal.

After waiting about thirty minutes to ensure that Roark was sleeping, he shook Jeren. "Wake up," he said, "get ready." When Jeren arose, they moved off a bit and began whispering to each other.

"So what's the plan?" Jeren asked.
"You stab him in the leg and I try to pin him. Use lightning if necessary, but try not to kill him."

They began to position themselves around the log Roark was on. Jeren still had the dagger in the wooden case.

MrXLink · Apr 06, 2010 2:58 PM

"You shouldn't be worried, and I don't need your apologies. We're having this problem together, not only you. I'm a target too, probarbly. I think everyone related in any way to Ophelia or Lu is their target. Speaking of which..." Silver smiled quickly, grabbed Busa's paw to shake it, then continued "Those tentacles immitated Ophelia, right? This means that they have something to do with her, probarbly. Why else would they use her as a decoy and not Lumistar? It's just an idea, not totally sure it's true, but there's a big chance."

Phoenix_Flyer · Apr 07, 2010 9:35 AM

Roark wasn't asleep, if they stood on any twigs or the like he would hear them. However, he was effectively 'zoned-out' so he didn't notice their presence in the slightest.

-----

The meeting had turned out to be a hunting trip, and despite her trepedations about killing, Lu really enjoyed it. She found that when faced with what she really wanted her new instincts completely took over, she also noticed that she became quite sadistic, relishing in the fear of her prey.
She wasn't completely ruthless though, she didn't make her prey suffer once she had them. A lot of the others seemed to be impressed with her, and some (which she guessed were the younger ones) kept on asking her if she had really been changed by Krucifi and showed around by Nino. Lu liked the attention, but when she wasn't in hunting mode she didn't like bragging... So when she was in the cave she kept to herself.
Speaking of Krucifi, she hadn't seen him since he went through the door where she had seen Nithran. Her wounds had healed, but she knew she hadn't just dreamt it up.
She also found that there was something nagging in the back of her mind, something that made her angry. However, she couldn't quite place what it was, or what had started it. But the more she wandered about the caves of the Nest, the greater it became. It wasn't anything to do with what she had seen through the door, it was something else... she wanted revenge.

Rurikredwolf · Apr 07, 2010 12:29 PM

(I coulda sworn I said that Lu was the only vampire left that she could see...)

A Guy · Apr 07, 2010 8:31 PM

Jeren hastily removed the top of the wooden case and dropped it. He took hold of the dagger, careful not to let it rattle. As stealthily as they could, to avoid waking Roark up, they neared the log. After a nod by Serm, Jeren thrust the dagger at Roark's leg, while Serm swung his right arm, aiming to hit Roark on the head to stun him, to make pinning him easier.

Phoenix_Flyer · Apr 07, 2010 11:06 PM

(She is now you div, she's been keeping to herself and after the hunt she hasn't seen any other vampires. Though she hasn't caught on yet, she thinks they're just leaving her alone.)

As soon as the blade went into his leg Roark reacted on pure instinct. Although his fire-breathing abilities weren't to be desired, he was very talented at physical fighting, a mere blow to the head wouldn't be enough to stun him.
Not that the punch Serm attempted landed anyway, though it was more dumb-luck than anything else. The dagger hit its mark, but Roark threw his hands up immediately when he was stabbed because he wasn't fully asleep, which effectively blocked the attack and may or may not have hurt Serm's arm in the process.
Roark knew an attack when he saw one, he had half been expecting it. Regardless of how well the brothers worked as a team; Roark was trained to fight, not steal and ambush. On top of that he was much bigger and stronger than the younger dragons by a long way.
Not missing a beat Roark's hand flew to where Jeren had plunged in the dagger to grasp the young dragon's forearm. Roark then twisted the arm as hard as he could while at the same time moving to throw Jeren into his brother hard. As he was moving to attempt to throw Jeren he also started to twist his body in a way that would allow him to attempt a double-blow, attempting to use his tail as a bludgeon on the two dragons as well once they landed or tried to dodge being thrown at each other.

Rurikredwolf · Apr 08, 2010 12:08 AM

(I meant that after Krucifi disappeared)

A Guy · Apr 08, 2010 1:50 AM

The two dragons were both surprised that their opponent had reacted so well. Perhaps he hadn't been asleep at all! Serm had jumped back after Roark had blocked his attack, looking for an opening to hurt his opponent - maybe the dislocated wing? He tried directing some of his body heat to create a burning sensation in Roark's balm - to make him instinctively release - but how well would that work against a fire dragon? He was not prepared for the attack that Roark had in mind.

Jeren struggled to free his arm, but his opponent was too strong for him. As an immediate reaction, he lashed out his club-like tail at Roark, but then decided that it would be best to attack his target with lightning. Before Roark could perform his throw, he charged and let loose a bolt of lightning. He was confident that he couldn't miss from point-blank range. It didn't have a very bright flash - his friend wasn't wearing anything to protect his eyes.

The sound of lightning woke up Marka and Bali. Marka sighed and tried to walk out with Bali.

Busa shook his head. "No. I know for a fact why they are targeting me. There are still many things I can't seem to understand. I'd explain them to you, but they are complex. Furthermore I don't wish to bore you with stories of my past." He smiled as he shook Silver's hand gratefully. "I want to thank you, for being here for both me and Ophelia."

He turned his attention to the dead clone beside them. Her dull, wide open eyes seemed to be staring at him. But he didn't feel remorse any more. Just anger. Anger and hatred. "Rest in peace." He growled at her before picking up his staff and staggering off into the forest.

"Now, let's find Lu, shall we?"

((Say, anyone know where Aceedwin is? We kinda need him.))

MrXLink · Apr 12, 2010 4:11 PM

"Ok, let's find Lu, but please, tell your story as we continue. I'd love to hear it, really. I'm interested in stories from the past, and solving the puzzles within. I'll do anything to help, and I'm not bored quickly, you see?" Silver answered. Since he lived up there he had always felt energetic and was desperate to discover more. It led him to the ruins in the first place.

Phoenix_Flyer · Apr 12, 2010 9:02 PM

Screw the idea of waiting for a Healer, Roark knew the only way to dodge would be to fly so he immediately flung his wongs out to the sides and there was a sickening snap as it snapped back into place. It hurt but he was a bit preoccupied to feel the pain much.
Roark was incredibly lucky with his wing, he did it right. At the same time that he flapped down hard he let loose a cloud of smoke so as to try and flee. The smoke dimmed the flash of the lightening but Roark still suffered a glancing blow and went tumbling through the sky as the elemental blast knocked him off balance, with a new burn across his left hip.

A Guy · Apr 12, 2010 10:19 PM

OOC: It's been confirmed that he hasn't been banned, at least.

Jeren was a bit tired after that blast of lightning, and he stood there, panting, as he anticipated his opponent's next move. He's actually quite strong... he thought. Gravius could probably take him, and we'd usually have his help for someone like him... He saw the burn he had inflicted upon Roark and smiled.

Serm quickly moved to Roark's other side, opposite of where Jeren was standing. He also waited in anticipation of Roark's next move. "Hah... nice cover-up story, with the dragoness and all." The statement had a purpose - to distract Roark a little, possibly giving Jeren a few more seconds of rest. Also, Roark must've lied - how else could the rampaging dragoness and the easily repaired dislocated wing be explained? This wasn't going to be as easy as anticipated, but he didn't mind - he would just learn even more from this fight.

Phoenix_Flyer · Apr 13, 2010 8:08 AM

"Cover story? What are you talking about?" Roark replied as he glared at Serm, though he kept tabs on where Jeren was; he was tired after the shot but he would bounce back, he knew it.

A Guy · Apr 13, 2010 4:40 PM

"Making yourself seem weak, with the story of how you lost to a dragoness and your wing. Though it would seem smarter to make yourself seem stronger..." From Serm's experience, whenever a dragoness was in a group they were attacking, they were usually told to run away. They must not be very good fighters, then, he thought. There were a few exceptions, but not enough to change his mind.

Why isn't the poison working? Jeren thought, unaware that because of his inexperience with the dagger, he didn't get it in deep enough to cause anything more than a slight numbing. He was feeling more rested, and would be fine soon. "I think he might have the antidote..."

Phoenix_Flyer · Apr 13, 2010 8:36 PM

"Self preservation, I decided to take a chance of snapping it back and it worked for me and if you are implying that female dragons are weaker than males then you are in for one hell of a shock; unmated females are generally more powerful than males because they are faster and more agile."
Serm pointing out his wing brought the painful discomfort of it to the forefront of his mind, though he pushed it back.

"The antidote...?" Realisation then hit Roark like a physical blow. "You didn't..."

He glanced down at his leg and moved it in a circle. It was bleeding quite badly, but the wound wasn't deep; the blade had gone in at an angle. He realised that he couldn't feel it, but it funtioned as it should do. It felt strange, but not painful in any way.

"That's quite weird..." He then realised that if he didn't act now he was going to end up stabbed again. From where he was hovering he looked to his left and saw the discarded wooden box that he guessed had held the dagger. The two youngsters were quite a distance away from the box, no way would they be able to stop him...
Quick as he could Roark fired a fireball at the box, hoping to destroy any more traces of the venom that were inside.

A Guy · Apr 13, 2010 9:14 PM

"Really? The fix seemed a bit convenient, and I don't really see how having friends would have anything to do with-"

Serm watched as Roark launched a fireball and the box burned. It was a shame, but they still had poison left on the dagger. They had to be careful to preserve it now. "So that's the way it is... We were told that the poison was new, we don't know what it's called. We need the antidote. Now, you wouldn't happen to have it, would you? Now that you've destroyed much of it, we will get your help, one way or another, or... I'll go about setting this forest on fire. I'm pretty sure your rabbit friends wouldn't like that much, would they?" He grinned menacingly.

Jeren had the dagger in his grasp still. He was about to indicate his readiness to attack with a nod, but after hearing what Serm had said, he was waiting to see what would happen, how Roark would react, and when he would be needed.

Rurikredwolf · Apr 14, 2010 12:03 AM

(PF, think you can have Lu meet up with them soon?

and Saph, you never responded if she had any special things!)
