The world of Laifel

OCC : I've made Trenyan a half wolf now. The exact same stroy, except I replaced "leecher" with "wolf". Makes more sense with the Wolf friendship, too.

I didn't notice the crossbreed leecher interdiction... I saw all of the other creatures, but missed the one I chose :)



BIC : "Ain't this interesting..." muttered Trenyan as he watched the man put a pile of gold on the innkeeper's counter. "For a man of his appearance, he sure is rich."
Trenyan looked closely at the man.
"Hmm...", he though "He's not a Cylian. But he might know about them."
Seeing that the man had obviously been travelling, Trenyan told himself that he'd only spend one night in this inn.
"It'd be unwise to attract attention on myself now. I'll see if I can speak to him tomorrow morning. Hm... this means getting up early enough, to catch him when he leaves."
And with that, Trenyan went back up to his room at the inn.

 

As he came out of the forest, Lanan smelled...fire. He looked around until he saw smoke in the distance. If that fire spreads, it'll burn the whole forest down!, he thought as he got on all fours and ran through the night towards the smoke. He loved running on all fours, it was a lot faster than using jsut his hind legs. He closed his eyes for a while as he ran just to feel the cold brush of the wind running through his fur.
"Stay away!"
Lanan snapped back into reality and noticed he reached the source of the fire, a small farm. He looked around and saw something he hadn't seen in a while. A Lizard Clanner standing over an elderly human. He immediatly grabbed a bolt from his leg and put it into his crossbow and fired it. He almost never aimed, once the bolt was in the air, he molded a straight a path using the wind towards the Lizard's heart. He missed and got its shoulder instead. Maybe I should start aiming...

"Sssstinking mutt!" The lizard said as it pulled out the bolt and started rushing towards Lanan.

"Let's go, you ugly bag of scales!", Lanan cheerfully said as he raised his fists. He finally noticed that the lizard wasn't alone and he was now surrounded.

 

OOC: Ok, just finished your loooooooooooooong story Star.

BIC: "No need for that, Nancy." Said Tristan as he winked at the girl. Tristan then pointed at the Inn Keeper. "I'll take, your room."

The Inn Keeper's mouth dropped open. "S...Say what?" Stuttered the man as he attempted the keep his "warm" smile.

"Is that, or is that not your finest of rooms?" Asked Tristan as he frowned at the pudgy man.

"Well yes, but-" Began the Inn Keeper.

"And did you or did you not say that you would give me your finest of rooms?"

"Well yes, but-" Began the Inn Keeper as he began to grind his teeth.

"Then I see no problem then." Said Tristan with a smile. "I'll be taking your room for the night. Or would you rather that I ask for my gold back?"

The Man looked red in the face as he forced himself to put on a smile. "Nancy," growled the man, "Show this 'gentleman' to my- his room."

Tristan smiled at Nancy before following her lead. before leaving the common room he took a look at a boy sitting at a nearby table. Was that boy watching me? Wondered Tristan.

 

Nox walked into the street, his cape swept around him in the wind. "This village will be a good place for my next work", he thought out loud as he looked around him, "But first an inn". He stepped over and into the inn. He bought a regular room with some of his gold and went to it alone. Now in his room he lay down his bag which held his possesions and rested his sword in its sheath ontop of it. "I'll start things tomorrow", he said as he lay back on the bed and rested.

 

OOC : I look like a late teenager, actually. Saw that Yunsung picture I posted a link to? Or did you say "boy" on purpose?
As for the story... did you or did you not say "the more the better"? :D :D

 

OOC: I just thought that my character would think in that way.

BIC: Tristan looked around at the "finest" room in the Inn and sigh. Not as nice as my old room, thought Tristan, but it will do.
Tristan dropped his traveling sack on the bed and went through his belongs. Lets see.... Bags of gold, check. provisions, check. Poorly drawn map of Demoir, check......
Tristan began to panic. Where's the other thing? wondered Tristan as he removed objects from the sack, one by one. Tristan sighed as he pull out a locked box from his sack. There it is. He thought as he pulled out a key from his pocket and unlocked a the box.
Inside was a crystal that glowed a dull light. It was a heirloom of his family. His father showed it to him long ago. Legend goes that the safety of the world depended on this crystal. Before leaving his home, Tristan stole the crystal. Someone as corrupt as his father could not be trusted with such an object.
The glow that the crystal emitted had faded over the years, though Tristan was unsure why.

 

I hate Lizards!, Lanan as jumped towards the first Lizard. In one swift motion, he punched the Lizard's face with his right hand, grabbed two bolts out of the quiver on his leg, placed it on his crossbow on his left arm, spun around, and launched them at two other Lizards stopping them from sneaking up on him. "You'll have to try harder than that to sneak up o-" Before he finished his sentence, another Lizard latched onto his back and clamped it's jaws on his shoulder. I really hate Lizards!, he thought as he jumped in the air and landed on the Lizard on his back. The pain caused the Lizard to let go of him. He then proceeded to grab a bolt and stab the Lizard. Before the remaining three Lizards had a chance, he emptied out his remaining bolts into their bodies.

While catching his breath, he remembered the whole reason he came: the fire. He turned around and smiled at the farmer, who was laying on the ground with his mouth open. Lanan then used his remaining energy and caused a wind to circle the farm. The wind circled closer and closer until it eventually blew the fire out.
Lanan looked at the farmer again and said "You can thank me by carrying me to a bed..." and passed out from exhaustion

 

OOC: That was quite epic there Lil'

BIC: Tristan shrugged his shoulders and locked the box. He then placed all his belongings in his sack. Once done, he collapsed into the bed. Time for some well earned sleep was his last thought before he his eyes closed shut.

Becka woke up with a start. She put her hand to her head, which was hurting, remembering what happened. She had been attacked by Lizards and the farmer had let her stay here. She looked around the small room and noticed a boy lying on a bed next to her. she tried to sit up, but it hurt to much. Great she thought

 

Bane stod silently slightly ahead of three people, he, Bird, Zombie, and Bones had been traviling and had arrived in Ilainam.

Bird was behind him, a falcon sitting on his arm.

Zombie stared quietly behind Bird, quietly surveying the place with a knife in a hand.

Bones stood behind them all, after letting out a low and savage snarl.

 

Trenyan could not sleep. He had been searching the village for Cylians all day, without finding one... without expecting to find one. But comapred to the previous days of walking tremendous distances, this day was a break.
Since he wasn't asleep, he could easily hear the commotion at the inn's main room. Curious, he got up, took his travelling bag and his sword, and cimbed down the stairs.
"What's all this noise about?" he asked the innkeeper... who had apparently decided to move part of his room behind the counter. "Odd", thought Trenyan.
"Get lost", the innkeeper said. "I have no time to waste!".
Trenyan curiosity wouldn't puch him further at the moment, but his will for payback at the insult made him move. He grabbed the innkeeper's shirt, pulled him closer, and repeated his question, word for word.
"Er... if you want to know, the Lizard Clan is attacking again! As if we hadn't had enou-..."
Trenyan was already on his way. He was the kind of person that would sometimes meddle in others' affairs, but when there was a raid going on, he wanted to help. While searching for Cylians, he got countless stories about the Lizards attacking, anyway.
Running out of the inn, he followed the armed men that were also running. Most were armed with improvised weapons : pitchforks, hatchets, rakes, and all they could get their hands on. "No wonder those Lizards keep raiding. This village is an easy prey.", tought Trenyan.
He ran among the humans, the night sky filled with their shouts and the light from their torches. Soon, several fires came into view.


OOC : To avoid problems, I'll change my character to a half-Cylian - quarter-Wolf Clan. That's the result of the union between a pure Cylina and a half-Wolf Clan.

He used to be half-Wolf, aka half of a purewolf, which would require explaining how a Cylian mated with a wolf.

He still retains the mostly Cylian appearance.

 

OOC:

That phrase made me laugh.

BIC:Lanan awoke, but kept his eyes shut. He realized he was laying on a bed. The farmer really did give me a bed..., he was starting to like the poorer humans. He noticed they were a lot kinder than the richer ones. The humans at the bottom of the social chain, they didn't hunt, they didn't discriminate, they just lived. He remembered the kingdom he passed through a few days ago. The King was rich and powerful and yet, his decisions were ruining Ilianam. Wait a second! That smell...there's a Cylian in here! Lanan felt himself becoming angry until he heard the Cylian's deep breaths with his acute hearing. It's asleep, it sounds peaceful...it might be one of the good ones, he thought as he picked up another smell. Meat! The farmer's cooking! I hope I wake up to a nice breakfast, he thought as he drifted back into his dreams

 

Becka stood up with some effort and started to walk to the door, while looking at the boy.

 

Tristan woke up due to a flickering light. For some reason it felt hot. Looking to his left, Tristan realized why. The Inn was on fire.
There goes the "finest" of rooms. thought Tristan as he held out his hand towards the flames.
Without giving it the tiniest of thought, Tristan reached out to the energy that gives life. Lineve. In less than a second, he caught hold of the Lineve, that flowed freely through the air, and began to Shape the flows to form a box, of sorts. Placing the box around the flames, the fire quickly used up it's supply of oxygen. The flames went out abruptly. Tristan, then, lowered his hand, releasing the flows of Lineve.
So what's this all about? Tristan wondered as he got out of bed and stretched.

 

OOC : Trying my hand at fighting scenes :

BIC :
As the humans got closer to the fires, the sounds of men fighting and lizards growling became more distinct. Trenyan continued to run, when he suddenly found himself face to face with a Lizard. Obviously he had misjudged the distance between him and the battle. He was surrounded by humans and Lizards doing battle.

The Lizard tried to tackle Trenyan as he stopped running. He crouched and lunged at the lizard's feet, making the creature fall forward, on its face. With sword in hand, Trenyan spun and slashed the downed Lizard several times.
Hearing an approaching growl behind him, Trenyan spun again, slashing the monster's face. There were several Lizards in front of him.

"Come closer..." slowly said Trenyan, and the Lizard Clanners lunged at him. Prepared, he lifted his sword, and while swinging it, instantly used his his Mold powers to turn it into a long, large ice sword. When the sword hit the Lizards, it was a huge weapon, and it threw all of the Lizards aside. However, the impact wasn't extremely strong, and the Lizards got up.

Trenyan slashed with his sword once more, and a few seconds later, he had defeated the Lizards. "They aren't the strongest ones their race has to offer. Just who are they, exaclty?"
Thinking isn't something one can truly afford on the battlefield, and Trenyan realised this when he heard another growl coming closer from the side. He reacted, but was too late to stop the Lizard from tackling him. They both fell down, the Lizard on top of him.

"Argh, you'll regret this!" grunted Trenyan. The Lizard's head raised, and attempted to bite Trenyan's head. The crossbreed's right arm wasn't pressured, however, and he blocked the Lizard's mouth by holding his sword in front of his face. The Lizard bit the wing-shaped sword, its mouth closing on it by surpirse. Then Trenyan took his sword out of the Lizard's mouth, by pulling it aside, severely slashing the Lizard's mouth.
With its opponent in pain, Trenyan could push him off of him, and get up. But so did the Lizard, who growled, revealing his now-bloodied teeth.

"That's enough!" Shouted Trenyan, and he rushed towards his enemy. He attempted to slash to monster's neck from right to left. His horizontal slash missed, however, as the Lizard Clanner sidestepped in the opposite direction, to Trenyan's right.
Realising this, Trenyan used his Mold powers to materialise an ice Wing Sword in his left hand. With the inertia from his initial horizontal strike, he kept turning, and did a full spin, his left-handed ice blade hitting the Lizard. The five teeth of the Wing Sword left five very close blood trails on the Lizard's skin, and the monster fell down, motionless.

The battle was still raging, and more Lizards were coming Trenyan's way. One was right in front of him... but stopped dead in its tracks. Trenyan realised a nearby human had impaled the creature with a pitchfork. "Untrained and barely armed", thought Trenyan "... but my allies nonetheless".
With more humans at its side, and holding both a metal and ice Wing Sword, Trenyan jumped into the Lizards in front of him, fighting fiercely.

 

Tristan rubbed his eyes as he walked through the hole that the fire burned into the wall. Tristan looked around and groaned. This is going to be a long night. he thought as he causally walked out into the battlefield.
Tristan yawned as he heard a thud behind him. Judge from the hissing sounds, a Lizard had just jumped down from a nearby building. Without even bothering to look at the creature, he swung his right hand behind him, while at the same time Shaping a blade, made out of Lineve, into his right hand.
The blade swiftly cut the creature's head in two, and as soon as it appeared, the blade was gone. Tristan continued his causal walk into the battlefield, while quickly slashing at the Lizards, as they approached, with his blade of Lineve.
Tristan yawned again. Let's get this over with so I can go back to bed.

 

Since nobody has claimed the King/Parasite yet, I did :)




Username- Lilbueno

Name (full)- Bryne Alzeire III

Race- Human

Powers (if any)- Master Shaper, enhance physical abilities due to the parasite's influence

Age- 47

Gender- Male

Side- (Good/Evil/Neutral) The King himself is GOOD, but is currently EVIL because of the parasite

Weapon (if any)- Shapes weapon from Lineve, prefers to make a spear and shield

Background (Go into detail please! The more, the better!)- Bryne Alzeire III was born a prince and an only child in the kingdom of Ilianam. He was the only heir to the throne and was put into many classes to shape him to be a worthy king. As a child, he had different teachers who taught him how to ride horses, fence and joust, as well how to fight bare-handed. He was also taught politics, philosophy, history. However, his favorite class was the one his father, King Bryne Alzeire II, taught him: Shaping. It was revealed at a young age that he had the power of Lineve. His father was overcome with joy when he realized his son inherited his gift. After King Bryne II died from an illness, Bryne was made King at age of 20. Bryne was involved with a young lady whom he made his Queen after his crowning. Several years later, his first son was born. A few years after that, his second son, Tristan was born. His Queen died while giving birth to his third child and first daughter, Samiere.
King Bryne Alzeire III ruled the kingdom of Ilianam as a good king for the next decade or so. He had good relationships with many of the other towns on Demoir. One day, while tending to his royal garden, a sickly-looking man stumbled into the courtyard. The King called his guards for help, but the man lunged at him. Before he knew it, Bryne was taken over by a parasite. When his guards came, Bryne ordered them to kill the man -who had no idea where he was or what had happened- stating the man attacked him. The parasite marveled at the power of Lineve Bryne had and even had Bryne's first son beheaded, simply because he didn't inherit his father's Shaping power. He told his subjects that his son was planning to overthrow him. The influenced-King continued to ruin his country. He replaced his officials with corrupt men, stopped enforcing laws (as long as they didn't put him in any danger), and stopped caring for his kingdom. After his son, Tristan, confronted him about this, the King accused him of being involved in the coup his first son was "planning". He sentenced Tristan to death, but Tristan managed to escape before his execution.
The King is still alive in his own mind, but the parasite has control of his body and is slowly eating away at Bryne's life.

Appearance-The King has brown hair that goes down to his shoulder. He has brown eyes. He normally wears armor and a cape, along with his crown. Now that the parasite has control, the King has a pale and sickly complexion. His tattoo of the family's crest is on his arm, below his shoulder.
Under the influence of the Parasite^^^

Username- Lilbueno

Name (full)- Ras'tepa

Race-Demon

Powers (if any)- Can latch onto a host and take control of the body. The influence slowly eats away at the host until the body and mind dies, he then needs to search for a new host.

Age- 589

Gender-Male

Side- (Good/Evil/Neutral) Evil

Weapon (if any)-Uses the King's Lineve Spear and Shield

Background (Go into detail please! The more, the better!)- Ras'tepa was just a lowly, weak demon born in the Demonic Realm. Although he was weak, he managed to take control of a stronger Demon. If it wasn't for that Demon's body, Ras'tepa would have been eaten by other Demons. After his first host died from Ras'tepa's influence, he moved on to another host. Eventually, Ras'tepa journeyed into an isolate part of the Demonic Realm. The air surrounding the area seemed alive. The air in front of him then "broke" and a portal was in front of him. Ras'tepa, curious, wandered into the portal and came out on Demoir, on a mountain. Ras'tepa then freed his host (there's a loose demon around if anyone wants a character) and traveled the area on his own legs. He had no idea what happened to the Demon. When he came back to the portal, he noticed it was closed, but he could still feel the energy from it. He then took control of Cat Clanner who walked by and roamed the area. He switched hosts to different species, always making sure to kill his previous host. It was like this that he learned about the world. He eventually ended up in the kingdom of Ilianam and thought of a plan: If he can take control of the King, he would have tremendous power. He would then seek away to open up more portals and release more Demons into Demoir. So far, his plan succeeded.

Appearance-Ras'tepa's own body looks like a dark-red slug with six legs. He's about a foot long and his legs are short. His body is relatively flat so he's only a few inches tall. He has fangs and four purple eyes. On the bottom of his body, there is another mouth. This second mouth is round and acts like a suction. He attaches himself to a host with the suction and enters the host's consciousness. He then has full control of the body. He is currently on the King's lower back covered up by the King's clothes, armor, and cape.




BIC: "This way, son", said Dissidia as she smiled down at Lanan. Lanan looked up at her and turned around to see his dad, Rhon, floating behind him. "Pretty soon, you'll be able to Mold Wind and hover like me, Lanan." Lanan smiled at him, even though he secretly wished he could mold Earth or Metal. He followed his mother to the lake where she was taking a drink from. As he knelt down to take a drink, Rhon knelt down on his other side and started drinking. Lanan stopped to stare at the reflection in the water. His parents were both smiling, and yet a tear rolled down the face of his reflection. Why am I crying?, he thought as the water rippled. When the water was calm again, his parents' reflections were gone. He immediately looked to his left and right and realized his parents really disappeared.
"NO!" Lanan said as he awoke with a start. These dreams are really starting to bother me...He still wasn't used to these dreams, even though he's had them since his parents' deaths. He looked out the window and noticed it was still dark, he laid back down in his puddle of sweat and went back to sleep.

The nights here are so peaceful and completely different from the nights on the other side, Ras'tepa was thinking to himself as looked out the window of the King's quarters. It's been over a week since the King's son escaped and Ras'tepa saw no need to order a pursuit. After all, what can one boy do?
I'll kill you for what you did! You murdered my son! You drove my other son away! You're ruining my kingdom!
Be quiet, silly human King! You still have your life...well, actually I do! Even though he was talking to the King through his thoughts, that remark made him laugh outloud.But don't worry, human, even if you lost two of your children, your daughter remains. At least, until my plan comes into fruition.
As the voice in his head screamed in anger, Ras'tepa's body laughed.

 

OOC: That's Great! Nice work Lil'!

BIC: "It isss not wissse to walk into battle without a weapon." Hissed a lizard.

Tristan Carelessly glanced up at the Lizard in front of him. Tristan smiled at it and continued to walk towards the Lizard. Confused, the Lizard took a step back. Tristan walked past the Lizard and patted him on the back. "Thanks for the tip, bud." Tristan said, while leaving a compressed pocket of Lineve where he patted the Lizard on the back. Tristan continued onwards.

Stunned, the Lizard turned around to attack the weaponless man. "You think you can tease me and get away wit-" was all the Lizard managed to get out, before the pocket of Lineve suddenly decompressed and blew the Lizard apart.

Tristan shook his head and continued walking.

 

"The battle is calming", thought Trenyan. What he heard from the humans pointed out that most Lizards have already been repelled. In fact, some of the attacked farms were already safe, filled with wounded soldiers whom the farmers were taking care of.
"So we're almost done".
Trenyan could feel the effects of fatigue, but he still had a lot more in him. He had been injured a few times, but he had seen worse.

While the human reports said the battle was nearly won, the battle around Trenyan was almost is intense as when he came. Blood was sprayed all over the trees, bushes, and grass. A Lizard, running towards a human near Trenyan, met his demise by slipping on the blood-soaked grass, before being overwhelmed by the angry humans.
As even more Lizards came, seemingly out of nowhere, Trenyan could only hold on to his sword tightly, and help the humans cut through the Lizards' ranks.
