"A promise is a promise, thus we will first dine and after that we will talk"
I went and prepared dinner: a fried rabbit; during that time I felt her curious eyes watching me with deepest attention. We finally sat down and started eating. None of us said a word during our meal and though the silence was excruciating, we both seemed to accept it.

"I hope that you enjoyed your meal, miss... I don't even know your name. Care to tell it to me?"

"A good night's sleep is always welcome. I will retreat to my room right now." Darian said. "I shall try to get some rest, because I haven't really slept well the last few days.". Thus saying, he retreated to his room he rented for the night and went to sleep. But that day did not end yet... He didn't even get to fall asleep, when he heard some strange sounds. He immediately woke up and tried to grab his sword, but to his amazement, it was gone. He looked around and didn't see anything. He looked again, but yet again nothing. After a third check of the room, he noticed something ethereal moving towards him. It was some kind of invisible golem, that made no sound at all, and most of all, wielding HIS sword!! He tried to scream for help, but he couldn't open his mouth. He tried to run, but suddenly, he felt like stoned. He tried punching the thing, but his hit passed right through! Then, the golem prepared to attack Darian, but in a flash, all was gone! It was all a nightmare... "I'll NEVER EVER sleep in Beregost again!!!" So he woke up and trained a bit in his lesser spells, waiting for dawn to come.

Well, i have my scroll. Now let's see what we can get out of this offer. I don't need money, supplies i can scavange or steal. But i would need an ally on the other plane. I know... what a foolish girl, this Archmage, giving her word without knowing the price. She must be very inteligent to reach such a high position so young, but she lacks in wisdom. This will be a bitter leson for her.

"It shall be done, my lady. And in return i ask just for a small favor from the guild. My travels on the other plane shall be dangerous. I shall need an ally. Someone who can fight  and also talk his way out of trouble. So for the peace i shall bring your guild shall provide me with such an ally. When i return i expect for your most promicing mage to be waiting for me to lead into the most dangerous adventure of his life. I just hope it wouldn't be his last... "

And without giving her any time to reconsider i disapear into the shadows. This task is easyer. Without any pesky "true sight" spells blocking my way i enter the Thief's guild in my invisible form. I enter the guild master's room just in time to plant the book. As i leave the guild the alarm rings. They found the remains. But my job is complete. I head for the Mage guild and i reach it at sunrise. It was a busy night, but the cursed need no rest. I shall get my new servant from the guild and leave this pesky town. I just hope they don't give me someone too hard to submit to my will.
At the gate the guard speaks respectfully before i need to ask anything :"The Archmage is waiting for you, Sir!" and he leads me in.

Before Nemesis arrival, Mens is thinking:"The Guild is now out of trouble. If the thieves decide to go on war with the temple they are free to do it. However, this would cause their destruction. And anyway, the Mage's Guild wouldn't have anything to do with this. It seems fair enough...enough to correct my mistake. Some leader...Sometimes I think that I would have better focused on study only...it doesn't look like the missions I asign help the Guild in a way. But there must be a catch on this... in a way, I must show that I've learned something from this... " She pauses for a moment and leaves her forehead on her hand. "Where is this stranger going...And who should I send? What if this is somekind of trap? The most worthy mage...the most promising is Aquum, my disciple. But I would never forgive myself if this were a trap...No, I must go out there myself." She stands up and calls the guard. In a few moments she speaks to an old mage: "You are the wisest mage from the Guild, and I have all my trust in you. I must do a reasearch on another plane. I think you are the right man to take care of the Guild while I'm away. And also continue Aquum's training on my behalf. If something were to happen, he would succeed me as the Archmage." The old mage agrees silently, somehow surprised of Mens' solemn voice.
A few moments later Nemesis is there waiting for her decision. Determined, she tells him: "As you spoke the last time, I understood that your mission is a difficult one. I can't risc losing one of the guild members, moreover, the most promising of them. But I hope this would better worth my time." She looks straight into his eyes, waiting for him to understand her bold decision.

Zendurion wasn't petrified, as the others thought. He whispered in his mind some protective spells and didn't want the others to realize. Lately trust was a treasure to him and he didn't shared it easilly. Although he needed all his concetrantion to create the protective wards and keep them hidden from both Darian and from Karyonna, he herad every word. And they formed stranhe thoughts... He knew that even if the spell Darian used was really powerful it could not cause that mess. Nope there was something else around which amplified the effects of the scroll... Something more powerful than the blackguards negative aura and even more powerful than the youngsters curiosity. And that smell that he vaguely felt in the air all around the land... Something evil was there. He could feel it. And it was close. In addition there was the presence of undeads and skeletons... These were signs of dark magic. But why here? What's gonna happen? Could it be...
Rest... He haven't rested in days and he felt a dire need for a place to lay his head. But his mind was uneasy... the thoughts were overwhelming and formed an uncomfortable mixture. Also, when he returned to Karyonna's room his body become uneasy. The beauty of the woman was tormenting him. He was fighting his desire to kiss her, to touch her body to feel her passion again. He locked the room after they entered and stared right in Karryona's eyes. Her beauty was almost iressistible... He had to fight his desires but was just a step away from loosing this battle. He left his sword in the darkest corners, shut the lights of the candles and made a step towards her.

Karyonna went into her room, followed again by Zendurion. She leaned on the edge of the frail table, and observed from the corner of her eye what the paladin was doing. As he came closer to her, she revealed the last source of light in the room, the candle in her hand. When he was just a few inches away, she bent a little and softly whispered into his ear
"Now wouldn't you just love me to blow this last candle out..."
She smiled to him, slipping from his view as she made a few steps to his side. She looked at the flickering flame, and he could have sworn to have heard her saying "don't worry, beauty, i'll light you up again soon", but without putting it away. She waited for him to turn around, defied his look and continued smiling, in complete silence. It was obvious she was waiting for something, and that waiting for him to realise what it was amused her a little. Still, nothing would be betrayed by her expression, nor by her gaze.
She had hunted him for so long, no she considered it was the time for him to prove that something she had seen in his eyes.

After a long wait, morning finnaly arrived. He wanted to leave that place as fast as he can, so he quickly dressed up. He went outside to wait for the other two. While he was waiting, a sound took his attention. It was something coming from the bushes. Something big. He thought it was a dog or something like that, but then he heard a hammer fall in that area. He almost willingless cast an Invisibility spell to render himself unseen, but his spell was instantly countered. Fear started taking over Darian, as he saw spell after spell being neutralized. He even cast a Flame Arrow on himself, but with no effect. He never experienced such a thing. "What in the nine hells can it be?!?". With a last glitter of courage, he cast a Finger of Death towards the bushes. His hand immediately sprang towards the bushes and the green finger emerged from it. But to Darian's terror, it was coming back to him!!!

Eu n-am vrut deloc sa ne oprim, dar se pare ca lumea nu prea mai are chef *sigh*... si trebuie macar vreo 6-8 persoane ca sa iasa ceva interesant.

Ar fi o idee sa o luam de unde a ramas, nu? Sau sa reincepem? :|

RedDevil

Si mie mi-ar placea sa continuam/reincepem, etc. Ramane de vazut cata activitate o sa fie pe thread-ul asta...sau pe forum in general...

daca se reancepe ma bag si eu  :cool:

continuam, reincepem... tot aia... sa se faca, asta conteaza :D
Quote"Fate shapes us just as we shape it."

Daemian

De continuat nu prea cred ca mai merge din vreo 2 motive:
- nu mai sunt toti cei care luau parte la povesti si e cam nasol sa preia altcineva rolul lor
- a trecut cam mult timp si nu prea se mai tine minte cum se dorea a fi evoluate povestirile

Asa ca, daca vreti, eu propun sa o luam de la 0. Pt asta tre sa vedem cati se baga, dar sa fie activi si sa vedem daca vrem sa facem mai multe fire de poveste sau cu totii unul singur (fiecare cu personajul lui)

Pai daca toata lumea spune ca se baga si doar ii asteapta pe ceilalti sa inceapa... In postul meu anterior am spus niste chestii: asa ca spuneti fratilor daca facem de pe acuma "echipele" sau incepe fiecare cu o descriere si intram cu totii intr-un singur fir de poveste.
