Bloody Magic: The Serpent Slave [PG-16, Started, Accepting on OOC]

[Time Psyduck]

With the dragon gone, Bran calmed down, and returned towards Eirwen, although somewhat cautiously, since the dragon was in the same place.

"Regardless of what your dragon may be feeling," she told the sorceress, "not every creature grows up with humans, and for those a chase is often not just play." Selene then proceeded to explain about her money issues. "I suspected as much," the herbalist replied, "since the only sorceress who collect herbs are poor, hermits or are embarrassed that they don't have a dragon. You have one, and you're too clean and pretty to be a hermit, which means you don't have the money. Still, I suppose picking herbs is preferable to what...other activities can be used to make money." She smiled again, and waved the stained knife around almost casually as she spoke.

"Well, unless you want me to look though your collection, I guess there's no need for me to stay," she added, as Bran slowly walked up to her, an eye still fixed on the dragon. Eirwen stroked his nose with her free hand.

After an hour of looking around Jake finds finds a knife on the ground. He picks it up and looks around for a long stick to use as a spear. He found one and when to cutting. Few hours of working he has a spear and goes hunting. He find a rabbit and kills it. He looks around where he is and he says "s*** im lost." He looks at the air hoping some one would come over on there dragon pegasus or giffen. He starts climbing a tree trying to get a sight of his cave or just a clearing no such luck. He sighs again and says "If im luck i can find it"

[DarkAngel787]

Selene inclined her head. "Apologies. Cerise is often more playful than attoned to other creatures' feelings." she said apologetically, stroking Cerise. "And yes, you're right...about the money."

"You can look through if you'd like, though I think I'm alright...Cerise has froze them though."

She handed the bag of frozen herbs to Eirwen. "I don't think I"ve caught your name...?"

She froze as she heard rustling behind them, and turned to find a figure climbing up a tree.

She had no idea of what to make of this.

[Time Psyduck]

Eirwen took the bag and set it on the ground, before stacking all of the frozen herbs nest to it. Stowing the knife, she began to return them to the bag:

"Fine, fine, fine, poisoned, fine, dead, fine, fine, poisoned, fine, fine, someone already had the best leaves but fine, fine, doesn't work after being frozen, fine...my name?" she paused, apparently considering whether or not to tell her. She decided she might as well. "Eirwen, and you...are?" she finished as she saw the figure climbing the tree.

Bran shuffled closer to her, thinking she might want to investigate, although still keeping a wary eye on the overenthusiastic dragon.

[Pegasasu]

"Okay let's go to Dusk Forest guys come on come on come ON!" Valarie said very bubbly, bursting with enuthsiasm and excitement. She followed Jason towards the path to Dusk Forest, grabbing Vestal by his arm, dragging him along with her. "Hurry up Jason keep walking go FASTER!!" She exclaimed, letting go of Vestal's arm. She stopped dead in her tracks. "Hey-- wait-- why are we walking if we could just fly over there on our dragons?" Valarie said, and then a sheer whistle broke through the air, and her dragon Wimseix was by her side, kneeling.

[Twin_Souls]

Jake yawns and he thinks "Should i just to stop sleep in the tree or should i keep going" his stomach growls and he says "Ok cook the rabbit" He climbs down to ground and makes a small fire. As the smoke goes above the trees he puts the rabbit over the fire with the spear. He mouth waters with the anticipation take the first bite. He lays back on a tree to relax a little bit. He sighs again as he watches the fire he made and think "The family would be sitting down to lunch now" but he shakes that thought out of his mind.

"Still using the whistle I see?" Jason pointed his staff in the air. The orb on top of the long pole began to spin. At first, the speed was just at a very slow pace, going at 60 RPMs. Then, it gradually began to pick up speed, making a little whirling noise, but it was barely audible to the three. Then, after a quick moment, Jason's dragon landed beside him. Unlike most, his dragon had been born with no wings, a rare case scenario. Having no wings did not stop the dragon from flying at all, instead of flapping wings it moved side to side, almost looking like a snake. Jason jumped on his dragon and put his staff on his back and gripped to the beasts mane. "Come on, lets go." The dragon nodded in response and jumped upwards, into a majestic flight.

Akira was walking alone with his griffin, Ignax, next to his side. He was heading towards Dusk Forest, hoping to meet others of his kind there. He looked back, checking to see if anyone was following him. He then saw some people-and a dragon as well. 'Sorcerers.' he thought. "Hey! Excuse me!" he called out. "You see that, boy?" he said to Ignax. "They have dragons. Maybe they can help us." He started walking over to the group of sorcerers, Ignax close at his heels.

[Jeroukoo]

ooc: Thats three lines dude. Post four.

Jason looked over his shoulder to see a person yelling over at them. At first, Jason could not tell what the person's profession was, but then a griffon was able to be seen next to the boy. Crap, a templar. Were not suppose to be in Dusk Forest right now. He is probably going to take us back to the tower... Jason slowl and casually pulled out his staff as he steadied his dragon, which thought the griffon was an enemy and had already drawn a battle stance. "Alright guys, stay back from him for now," Jason muttered. "I can handle this guy."

[Hybrid13]

Akira had walked over to the place the others were standing. He took one look at the dragon and saw that it was angry. He quickly shifted his eyes to the sorcerer and smiled. "Hello. May I ask you what you are doing here in Dusk Forest?" he asked, with a hint of caution in his voice. He didn't like sorcerers that much, and he was sure he'd lose if he fought against him-after all, he was outnumbered. His griffin trotted over to his side, eyeing the dragon with interest. It appeared that it didn't like it much. Akira was lost in a random thought. "You're not supposed to be here." he said suddenly. "Not in Dusk Forest." Akira said, holding his ground. But he was hoping the dragon didn't rip him to shreds. "What are you doing here?" he asked again.

[Jeroukoo]

"We just be lookin' for our family that got ost in dem 'ere woods." Jason talked in an accent that most farmers had. Though, it may not be convincing that he was a farmer, at least h could try to be. "Them idjits went walkin' in 'ere. Lookin for some erbs' for salad. Haven't eard' of them since." Jason looked around over at a cave. It seeemed very unatural to be made at its position, and the looks of it seemed unatural as well. Maybe the snakeman was there. "I got my dragon just a couple days ago. Mighty proud of it, notin could seperate the two."

[Pegasasu]

Valarie tensed when she made out the Griffon standing next to the Templar. Wimseix waws by her side in a defensive stance. Winseix had always hated Griffons. Natural enemy? Possible. Valarie didn't know. As the Templar approached them, Valarie stiffened. SHe knew that she wasn't supposed to be in Dusk Forest. As the Templar was about a stride away from hem, Valarie tested something. She tried to just coat a small stick in a tiny layer of frost. Just testing to see if the agic would work, and if the Templar was isolating their magic. When Jason started talking like a farmer, Valarie nodded her head slightly. "Whole family o' idjits. We were sent in 'ere to fin' 'em. Poor 'il chil'jen..." Valarie's accent was slightly more convincing then Jason's, since she practiced various accents many ties. She was prepared for almost anything.

[Hybrid13]

"Yeah?" he said, trying to make out what Jason just said. He found the accent was hard to understand. "Well, I don't have the right to stop you from doing your duty." Akira sighed, wishing he could have met Templars instead of sorcerers. "Or maybe...we could travel together." Akira needed thier help. He didn't actually have the guts to go into the Forest alone. "Excuse me, I haven't properly introduced myself. I'm Akira Aki. I'm a Templar if you didn't notice that already," he said, pointing to his Griffin. He was trying to make a good first impression, so they wouldn't ditch him later on thier dragons. "I need help getting through this forest." He took another look at the dragons in envy. "You know, if you weren't trying to FLY across it." he said gloomily. Akira never had any friends in his life before, because nobody ever seemed to want to talk to him.

[Twin_Souls]

Jake's rabbit is done and he is now eatting it. After he eats about half it stops and stands up and starts walking looking for the cave again. He stops and sees a Templar Sorceress and 2 sorcerers talk and he sees near by the cave and he quietly curses. "The are near the cave my cave" he thinks "Please dont see the supplies. He then quietly climbs a tree waiting for them to leave. He sees he forgot the rest of the rabbit on the ground and he prays "dont see ot."

[Jeroukoo]

Jason thought for a second about letting the templar join them. Many good things would come from letting hte templar joining them. Blood Sorcerers are rumoured to be roaming in the forest, and a templar would be a good thing to have when encountering them. But then Jason would have to show his real identity, about being an awesome sorcerer. Eh, what the heck. "You can join us then. Alwyas good to have a templar when raoming around the Dusk forest. Who knows what could happen. In these parts." Jason said. He was thinking about their plan. Is "Akira" to be trusted? Can we tell him? He thought carerfully about thsis.

[Pegasasu]

Valarie brightened when Akira wanted to become their "aquaintence". She was always welcoming new friends. "Hi Akira! I'm Valarie! Sorceress, as you can see." Valarie said, signaling to her dragon Wimseix. Wimseix growled wuietly at the Griffon, and Valarie flicked him on his nose, and Wimseix loosened a bit. "Friend." She said firmly to her dragon and best friend. She turned around and saw a cave. "Hey guys, look! Shelter! We can stay there for the night so that we can stay out late to explore for Snake-Man!" As soon as she said it, Valarie covered her mouth. She hadn't even seen if Akira was to be trusted yet, and she had already blurted out a secret.

[Twin_Souls]

Jake face palms knowing they see the Cave and knowing he isnt suppose to be out here so, he cant just go and tell them to leave. His mind is going fast trying to figure out what to do. He let go one of the hands he has on the tree. after a few second of think he starts to lose his balance. He starts trying to corret him self by moving side to side but it doesnt work and he falls out of the tree. Him falling on the ground makes a loud thud.

[Pegasasu]

Valarie covered her mouth with both of her hands, making sure that she didn't spill any more secrets that may be in her mouth, just waiting to spill out. "Sorry," She said very quietly. Her voice was muffled, behind her hands. Suddenly, there was a loud thump And Valarie spun around quickly, her staff in hand. Wimseix had spun around and was currently in an offensive position, ready to spring at the newly approached threat. Valarie looked at the cause of the thump. It was a boy-- she couldn't tell if it was a Sorcerer or a Templar. He didn't have a Dragon with him, or a Griffon. Valarie, carefully and cautiously, took a step closer to the boy. She signaled to Akira to follow, in case the boy was a Sorcerer.

[Twin_Souls]

"S***" Jake thinks "must i have the worst luck" He possess things in his mind scenarios that could happen. He thinks "i could run away but that would be suspicious." "I could introduce my self be nice" he thinks "But not to nice no just stand up. But that could be awkward." He is just about to get up when he thinks "Easy i can just Pretend im unconscious yeah that will do." Jake keeps laying on the ground not moving hoping and praying that those four believe he really is unconscious."

[DarkAngel787]

((You know, that was another shortpost. not trying to minimod, but I'm just trying to keep this off of the warning system...))

 

Selene glanced curously around from Eirwen. She saw another boy in the tree, and then she heard voices elsewhere. She held up her hand. "Hold on, I hear something..." she crept around the corner of the path and saw a Templar and a Sorceress. She stepped back.

"A Templar, a Sorceress, and a something..." she pointd to the boy in the tree. "Do you know what he is?" she asked.

 

Cerise was not aware of the danger, so she flew into the tree and somersaulted right into the boy's face.

 

"CerISE!" shouted Selene. " Come back RIGHT NOW."

[Time Psyduck]

"Eirwen dropped the last of the good herbs back into the bag and kicked the rest out of the way, before glancing up to look at these other people. The sorceress beside her was right, they seemed to be another sorceress, a templar, and someone else, who seemed to be unconscious. The Herbalist had a feeling the unconscious one may have been rather more concious not long before, however...

"No idea," she replied, "never seen him before. Still, I have a good way of finding out," she added, giving another grin and marching towards the prone boy. As she approached, she took a leaf from one of the bunches of herbs attached to her clothes. She knelt down beside him, and broke up the leaf beneath his nose, releasing a very strong scent commonly used for reviving those who had fainted.

[DarkAngel787]

Selene watched, impressed. "nice work." She commented, forgetting temporarily abouthte sorceress and the templar and watching the boy come 'round.

"Alright, boy, speak up. Who are you?" she asked, not unkindly.

 

Cerise decided to go after the Sorceress and the Templar next, fluttering around on leather wings and zooming straight towards the sorceress's face.

[Twin_Souls]

Jake is trying not to breath the strong smell in but he can't help it the starts to cough. Jake opens his eyes and then gets up still coughing and eyes watering. He says in a bad accent "What the hell kind of plant was that" He turns his head over to Selene and says very unfriendly back "None of your business girly" He then sees he landed on his ,now crushed ,mashed and half eaten, Rabbit. Jake curses as he throws the crushed Rabbit and it bursts in to flames before it even hits the ground by the cave.

[Time Psyduck]

"This," Eirwen explained, still holding the crushed leaf but having given , "is Kithrinin. It's very pungent when broken, as you can smell." She threw the leaf out of the way. "It's mostly used for reviving people. Fortunately it's common enough that I won't have you pay me for it." She watched the carcass of the rabbit burst into flames with no obvious source. "So you're a sorcerer then, are you," she continued. Somehow, without anyone seeing, she had managed to get the dirty knife back out, and waved it almost casually in front of the sorcerer. "What's your name then?"

[DarkAngel787]

Selene stepped forward. "No need to use brute force, Eirwen...just saying, seeing as I am a pretty adept sorceress myself." she stared at him, slightly menacing.

Before they melted, she cast a simple freezing charm over the plants again and deposited her collected herbs inside the bag again.

"Hm." she knew that none of the herbs she had were poisonous, so she picked another random one. "This is poison."
