After the Struggle

[dark_magician_girl]

*She nodded over to Dex as he described Axel, her wondering how he knew that she was looking for a spellcaster. She watched him happily as he looked around, her seeming content with his presence. She looked up at him when he announced the newcomer that was approaching. Soon after, she hid behind him silently before looking up at him. She could sense the person approaching as she awaited his response. She held her wand tightly in hand, her getting ready to attack if necessary.*

With Reciou:

 

He looked at Reciou as she moved behind him, ready to intercept if anyone or anything tried to attack them. A dark aura began to surround the two of them, seemingly flowing in and out of both of their bodies. He felt his power growing, almost reaching the point at which it was before at the shrine. "It's getting closer...." he said to her. A bit of energy started to solidify in his hand, forming the hilt of his sword. He could hear footsteps nearing their location, and eventually voices joined the steps. "They don't sound like fiends..." he said to Reciou, "...nor do they sound malevolent." He pondered for a moment, then heard rustling in the bushes in front of them. He stood on guard, waiting for whoever it was that was approaching them to make their appearance. A strange figure, dressed in a green magician's garb, led a small group of spellcasters through the brush towards the two.

*She looked up at him and nodded as she listened to him silently and somewhat tensely as the bushes rustled. She peered out from behind him to get a better glimpse of the spellcasters as they made themselves present. She wondered what they were doing here and what they wanted. She didnt recognize them but feared they were sent to retrieve her in place of the others who failed to return her to the city. She glanced up at Dex once again before hiding behind him again. She hoped they wouldnt cause any trouble for her or Dex.* "Why wont they just leave me alone? I don't wanna be cramped up inside all day... They treat me like I'm made of glass or as if I'm irreplaceable ..." She thought to herself silently. *She grasped her wand tightly in case she was needed to fight.*

With Reciou:

 

The magician sneered at Reciou as she hid behind her warrior companion. "We don't mean either of you any harm." he stated, reassuring them. Reciou's guardian kept his gaze upon the strangers, never letting his guard down. The man in green introduced himself to the two. "My name is Alastor..." he stated, "...and these two behind me are Breaker and Daigo." He bowed in respect, and returned to his normal stance. The warrior, still guarding Reciou, started to relax a bit. "My name is...." he paused for a moment, then continued, "....My name is Dex, and this is Reciou. Now, if you don't mind me asking, why are you here?" The magician scratched his chin quizzingly. "I believe I heard of both of you before...but no matter, we come here searching for our master, mayber you've heard of him...." Daigo stepped forward, and continued for Alastor. "His name is Axel Crimson...he's a magician like us, but far stronger. Do you know him?"

 

Back at the village:

 

Grepher recovered from Alan's attack, and continued attacking fiercely. The colossus, struck with Talon's attack, stumbled backwards, giving Gearfried an idea. He leapt high into the air, trying to land on the stunned giant, but was deflected by the golem's massive sword and sent flying away. As Gearfried flew helplessly through the air, he was caught by another warrior, mounted on a wicked dragon. "Long time no see old friend!" the warrior said happily. Gearfried was astonished. "Gaia? Where did you come from? I thought you were training in the mountains." Gaia smiled and replied, "Well, I was, but I saw the evil surrounding the village and decided to check it out. Looks like I came just in time too!" Gearfried directed Gaia toward the giant statue, still somewhat stunned from Talon's attack. "Bring me closer Gaia, we'll finish this with a combination attack!" "Got it! Here goes!" Gaia's dragon dived toward the golem, and Gearfried leapt off of the dragon's back into the air above the golden behemoth. Gaia rushed past and struck the giant with his mighty spear, and Gearfried came crashing down, slicing through the golem's head like butter. The colossus collapsed, the dark energy keeping it alive completely dissipated, and it fell to the ground in pieces. Grepher looked up and saw what had just happened, but then returned to fighting with Alan. Meanwhile, Litmus had returned to ground level, where he was approaching a weakened Talon. "Perhaps this bird-man could be of use to us....." he said to himself with a smirk.

with alan: he saw the giant statue fall and start to fade, and almost cheered for gearfried untill he saw grepher lunge at him, shoveing him to the ground, and raising his sword preparing to slice through alan. alan panicked and his entire body locked up. he was frozen. the last thing he saw was a blade comeing down on him and a flash of light.

 

when his eyes opened he saw 2 druid like girls in front of him, wearing identicle robes to alans. one had knocked grepher back with a barrier and the other was healing alans wounds. "hey Al," said the one with the barrier, "looks like you need some help." Alan stood up and smiled, "thanks Di, star, take care of gearfried, he looks hurt." the other druid nodded and rushed over to heal the armored knight. "how do suppose we do this al?" "the same way as always," he seemed to have a new fire lit in his eyes now that Diana had arrived. "we wing it."

[Careless Whisper]

Time passed by, maybe an hour, maybe an entire day. But finally, Sario and Anomu walked out of the room the private room, and into the Great Hall. Sario looked completely different now, his hair was longer and white. His clothing was blackened, and he now shiethed an incredibly long sword, yet very thin. His eyes were changed too. His eyes now held the Silver and Gold Trimmed pigmant that his Father wore as well.

Sario walked over to regreet Loen, but he also noticed that Freed was not there. But he sensed that Freed was on his way.

-"I have now awoken my true self." He said calmly and held up an empty hand, which filled up briliantly with a Black Sphere. "I have learned to take my inner Darkness, and use it to my own accord."

 

OOC: The attached file is now what Sario looks like

[doom pheonix]

freed walked in the door of the building looking extremly beat up. his armor nd robe were torn and blood stains covered his entire body. he looked at leon. then at sario. "well i see you've found what you needed." he then took arrow shaped pendant with a bright blue gem in it out of his pocket and showed it to sario. "So have I."

[Careless Whisper]

Sario nodded and then turned to his father's spirit and said, "Thank you, father. I guess this is the our last meeting."

-"Don't worry, I, along with all of the fallen Shakari, will remain in your spirit for as long as you live." Anomu then turned to Freed, "Sario now has nearly all of his Memory back. I know that there are still pieces missing, but he now has the pieces he needs in order to help you. But to complete his destiny, he needs the rest."

-"I think we should head back to Sogen." Sario started, then he turned to the Ude-Cemine, "Your master will be needed our help with that Giant. That thing won't be stopped until you completely turn it to rubble. And one person just simply cannot do that by himself." He then turned to Freed, "If you wish to stay, then nobody is forcing you. But if you wish to come, you'll need to ride on Ino. And we need to treat those wounds."

-"I am ready as you are, Sario." Ino replied as she changed into a large Hellborn dragon. And Sario climbed on, followed by Leon and the Ude-Cemine. Sario winced as he felt thenausua, but he forced himself to ignore it. He looked to his father, who smiled at him in reply to his own expression. Sario then said, "I will avenge our people."

-"I know you will. Good bye, my son..." Anomu's last words sounded like an echoe in an empty cave and he vanished.

Sario then looked to Freed, "So, are you coming or what?"

[doom pheonix]

freed smiled. "sorry my friend, but i'm afraid i cannot go with you. i cannot risk to expose myself jut yet. but take this." he gave sario a envolope with a hourglass seal on it. "take this to Alan light. i'm sure you've already met. fly safe and fly free." and as they flew into the sun he took out the page he riped from the shakari text and thought, "(As long our fates remain intertwinded, we will meet agian. and when the time comes, i hope then you may learn the truth)" he looked down once more at the page. on it was a picture of a burning village, a scorpion like creature with a ancient eye and a shining knight with long blond hair.

[Careless Whisper]

Sario stood on the back end of his dragon's large saddle, waving good bye to Freed and Artarius. His eyes then changed color, from his silver eyes, to a reflective mirror like pigmant that shined the sunlight perfectly. He turned and faced the direction of Sogen, out of the corner of his vision, he noticed that Leon and the Ude-Cemine were fast asleep already. He walked forward to the front of the saddle and said, "Well, looks like we have just one more Struggle. Then we can move on with our destinies, and then someday, we will be welcomed to Paradise." He said to Ino.

-"And what about if we don't reach Paradise?" Ino questioned eagerly.

-"Then we will die trying. I won't let anything come between me and my path to Paradise, I will make sure that the last of the Shakari will go down in honor and glory. I will die for the Glory of the Empire, for the Divine Wings of Tragedy. And until I die, let their be Silence from the Angels Above, and let them remain silent, until After the Struggle." And the wind picked up fast, and Sario stood on his Dragon as she flew faster and faster against the wind, making Sario long white hair blow violently with the wind as it's fierce guide.

-"Let them be Silent, until After the Struggle" Sario repeated to himself quietly.

[Careless Whisper]

OOC: Sorry for double posting, I don't want this RP to fail

 

Sario passed the time by surveying the land below. He had one final soldier to find. One that would help in the battle so soon to come.

As they flew on, Sario looked off in the distance once and instantly found what looked like a small village. He could tell from the tents lined up so staggeredly, and several small fires. But something else about the village seemed to interest Sario.

-"Ino, land at that village please, something seems wierd about it." He requested to his dragon, who did as ordered and landed in the middle of the village, scaring the towns people. Sario looked around, and to his astonishment, the villigers wore sort of what looked like fur-armor around their bodies and each one carried a long spear, but did not hoist them up to threaten the newcomers at all. They all seemed abit, afraid of them.

-"Amazons." Sario said quietly. But someone else was also there, one who was not female, one who wore sage-like clothing, one who he recognized immediately. "Axel!!!" He shouted in surprise as he jumped off of Ino and ran to greet the Spellcaster-Warrior of whom he had met in the Forest just outside of Sogen.

[Element Guardian]

OOC: I'm back! Yet still gonna be busy. But, that does not mean I will stop RPing. YEY!

 

Artarius:

 

AdeUracil woke up. she sensed Sario departuring. She sees him in the sky. "Iwonder where he's off to? He can't seriously leave us here, we don't know the way out.", said AdeUracil. She focused her energy to start telepathically speak to him.

 

"Just where do you think you're goning without us Sario!?"

 

-----------------------------------

 

Sogen:

 

"Finally we got rid of this thing. It was getting annoying that it stay down.", said Gearfried. Gearfried regenerated Iron Armor after the battle was over. "Thanks Gaia, you been a great help to me today." He chuckled a little when all of a sudden... "Ah! Where's Hazel!?"

[Careless Whisper]

Sario heard Ade's voice in his head and replied back, using hs own power "alright, fine...here happy now?" He added his last phrase with a sorta hiss at the end, as Ade and his partner vanished from Artarius and reappeared on his dragon, who was still staring at Axel within the Amazon Village.

[doom pheonix]

OOC: wow. i was gone for a while and still not manuy people have posted.

 

Sogen: both Alan and diana matched grephers swings blow for blow, Diana attacking with light whips extending from her gloves and alan swinging and parying with his swords. meanwhile the druid named star had made it over to gearfried. "excuss me sir," stars voice was meak and very gentle, "you seem to be hurt. please allow me to help" she smiled gently. her silvery eyes seemed to almost glisten while she grined, and she extended her hand to help gearfried up

[Element Guardian]

Village:

 

Sario teleported both AdeUracil & CytoGuanine to his location. "Thank you.", said AdeUracil with an attitude. "Where are we?"

 

CytoGuanine woke up. "Huh? What I miss?"

 

AdeUracil looked torwards the direction where Sario was looking. *gasp* It can't be. Is it really him?

[Careless Whisper]

Sario looked at Axle with such a nervous expression, as he watched Axle step back from him, like he was afraid of him. "Axle, it's me, Sario. We met a couple days ago, in the forest. It was me, Talon, and that girl, Reciou, do you remember?" He asked worriedly.

Then two amazon guardesses stuck their spears in a large X form infront of him, he looked at them on either side of himself. He then said "So, these amazons brain washed him." to himself in a low whisper. "Then maybe I need to show Axle who I am."

His eyes then flashed a violent purple as he grabbed the spears infront of him and broke the thick pieces of wood easily. Then his left eye turned a vivid blue and his right eye turned to green as his right hand emitted a powerful shockwave of wind while his left hand glowed and surged with what looked dangerously like lightning.

[Element Guardian]

"Must you always cause trouble?", said AdeUracil. Her hands glowed with aura. Ready to strike back when needed.

 

Sogen:

 

Hazel was hiding from danger. When the coast was clear, he swiftly ran up to Gearfried hugged him. "There you are, you had me worried." Gearfried noticed the girl who asked if she could heal him. "I am alright thank you very much. Just a few cuts and bruises, that's all." From afar Alan and a unfamiliar woman were battling against Grepher. "Grepher, stand down. That is an order. They are friends, not foes."
