Lore of Leyuna RPG (FRPG)

[Godzilla Forever]

Blinded by the sudden eruption of light, Nitsunobue slowed to a stop, shaking his head in an attempt to regain focus....

[Giratina93]

Outside of the castle, Akuro finaly stopped, before he began to look around, his one eye scanning the area. Surely, he could find what he was looknig for around here...

A screeching howl from beside him provided him with what he was looknig for. The Kitsune turned, then looked upward at a massive dead tree. It was a giant of a tree, over 100 feet tall, with thick, sparse branches that looked sturdy enough to hold a dragon in them. Small wonder, then, that they were actually the roosting point for a dragon... jsu tnot a big one. The wyvern tha was roosting was small, about 5 feet tall, and roughly 20 feet long. It had pitch-black skin, and a tiny head. It seemed to be mostly tail, with the main body being not as small as the fanged head, but still relatively tiny. The wings, however, were long and wide, and the undersides of themwere a brilliant display of red and green. The wyvern peered down at Akuro with hungry eyes, even though the wolf-like demon was larger than it.

"It looks like... I found myself what I was looknig for..." Akuro growled, before he leapt at the dragon. The movement was swift, and fast, and the poor Wyvern didn't even know what hit him. However, had one been there to see it in slow motion, they would have seen Akuro dissipate into a dark cloud of energy in mid-leap. The cloud of energy then seeped into the wyvern,before hijacking the body. The dragon struggled for a brief few moments, before all bodily control was under Akuro's control.

"Hmmm... this will suffice for now... but once I've finished this task, this bdy will be disposed of." Akuro hissed, his voice having changed to fit his new body. With a flap of hi wings, the body-snatcher flew into the castle, to meet back up with the Stalkers...

Mara mounted up on the horse, ready to begin her mission. Horses were not her forte, but she would do with them...

[dinoman666]

Sammael slowly stepped backwards as the light grew more and more intense, before suddenly exploding outwards with a massive bang...

The orb was no longer there. In its place floated what was quite possibly the strangest creature to ever exist: a serpentine beast that looked like it was made of a patchwork of a dozen or so different body parts from completely different creatures. Somehow, this asymmetry just seemed to work, and made a cohesive body, if not a very disconcerting one. As if on cue, the clouds overhead darkened, bright white flashes of lightning crashing down from the sky, which were strangely harmless to everything around them, as if they didn't exist in the first place. The creature floating before Sammael and Nitsunobue reared back and let out an evil, maniacal laugh...

...and then the lightshow abruptly ended. The creature leaned forward again, laughing more hysterically this time. Finally, it spoke, a goofy grin adorning the creature's goat face: "You should see the looks on your faces! PRICELESS! Hahaha!"

[Godzilla Forever]

The Stalkers continued awaiting Akuro's return, the Fell Beasts growling to each other, obviously communicating...

"Go, Thundarong," Sharavuras said. "We shall teach them the meaning of haste." Suddenly, both horses began bolting out of the stable, and headed toward the open gates....

Nitsunobue was clearly not amused by the chimaeran abomination before him. With a screech and narrowing of his eyes, the Wyvern charged the being, each thunderous step crushing the stone construct beneath him....

[dinoman666]

While Sammael scampered out of the way, the floating creature simply zipped into the air, reappearing down behind Nitsunobue and frowning, a disappointed look on its face. "What, can't take a joke? Sheesh, you dragons are all the same, I swear..." His yellow-and-red eyes flicked to Sammael, and the chimera floated over, saying, "So YOU'RE the one who ol' Archie got to free me! Aren't you a good boy!" The creature scratched the Hellhound on his tentacled head affectionately. Sammael merely snorted, and the creature rolled his eyes. "Not very talkative, I see. Well, what about you, big guy?" he hissed, looking back at Nitsunobue. "What do YOU have to say, hm?"

[Godzilla Forever]

Nitsunobue grunted and slowed to a stop, shaking his head for a couple seconds. His eyes soon changed back to black. He managed to calm himself down enough to speak to the creature properly.

"me Nitsunobue. Last of Horned Wyverns...."

Suddenly, he began to tense up again and his eyes began to become bloodshot.

"You.... ally of.... ARCHDEMON?!"

[dinoman666]

"Well, you're certainly not as eloquent as the last dragon I met..." the creature sighed, vanishing into thin air as he turned temporarily invisible, only to reappear next to Nitsunobue's head and casually leaning on his horn, the entire maneuver simply for dramatic flair. "Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. What's it to you, hm? A big bad Demon hurt your feelings?"

[Godzilla Forever]

Nistunobue lashes out at the chimaera, attempting to slam into him with his horns. Twin jets of vapor shoot from Nitsunobue's nostrils as he locked his eyes with the entity, clearly out for his blood.

"ARCHDEMON DISHONOR ME, HARM ME GREATLY! VENGEANCE I SEEK! KILL ALL ALIGNED WITH FOREST KILLING ARCHDEMON!"

[dinoman666]

The creature's body stretched backwards impossibly far, dodging Nitsunobue's horns without the being even having to move from his spot. "Whoa now, big guy! No need to go rampaging on me!" He wrapped a calming arm around Nitsunobue's neck, clearly unafraid of the comparatively massive wyvern. "Listen here, bud: I've been in that stone prison for a VERY long time. As you can well imagine, it gets quite boring after a while, being unable to even have a corporeal form and whatnot. Fortunately, the magical barriers that held me eventually weakened with the passage of time, and there was one thing I could release: a portion of my senses. My sight, my hearing, even my smell. I could extend them across significant distances through sheer will alone! Impressive, I know..." The creature stopped to smirk and examine the talons of his left hand in a haughty manner.

"Now, I've watched a lot of things to keep me entertained until ol' Archie could get me out of that rock, and you know what's funny? If it wasn't for those... friends you insist on helping, there wouldn't be a dead forest! Crazy, I know, but hear me out. Ya see, they had some sort of silly idea in their head to get an Archdemon's attention, and, well, there was a fight. Saw it for myself, ya know. Big battle, lots of fancy magic and stuff. Very entertaining, let me tell you! However, they managed to scuff up Archie's new scales a bit TOO much, and he ran off to go heal. Now, I'll let you put two and two together: what do you think Archie was doin' to that forest? Sucking all the life out of it for kicks? Of course not! He needed to patch himself up. You can't blame him, really. Demons aren't very well known for having healing magic and all. If anything, you should blame those silly travelers for doing it. Strange how everything's connected in such... confounding ways, eh?" The creature chuckled.

"I believe they call it, 'six degrees of separation,' or something like that: everyone is connected to SOMEONE by six other people, and their action follow suit. Funny how your so-called chums are pretty much responsible for the death of that forest in a crazy, roundabout way, huh? I mean, that's usually my job! Oh, by the way, name's Discord. Pleasure's all mine!" The chimera picked up one of Nitsunobue's forelegs with both hands and shook it heartily...

[Godzilla Forever]

Nitsunobue's heart sank. Was this being speaking the truth? Could they be the cause of the Archdemon's attack on his home?

"But.... IMPOSSIBLE!!! ELF KIN LOVE FOREST! WHY ALLOW IT TO BE HARMED?!"

Nitsunobue was having difficulties wrapping his head around the idea of that, the very people he had been wanting to help, aided in the destruction of the forest and nearly got him killed. Furious at not only the Chimaera but also at the elves, he let out a deafening screech of fury and anguish.

"HOW BE SO FOOLISH?! LET ELF KIN TRICK INTO AIDING!"

[dinoman666]

Discord patted Nitsunobue on the head. "Don't get so bent outta shape, pal. I'm sure it was all an accident. A terrible, absolutely unforgivable accident, but still, JUST an accident..." Discord's argument was more or less true, though his explanation was a downright lie: the spell Zazikel had given to Sammael to free the chimera also contained a plethora of information, essentially making sure Discord knew everything he needed to know in his absence, based on the Archdemon's own memories. What better way to avoid a potential fight than to use such information to his advantage? "I'm sure you can go have a nice, calm talk with your friends... or, of course, you can just impale them to trees for the sake of irony. Yeah, that sounds pretty fun to me!"

[Godzilla Forever]

Nitsunobue growled low, hunching his back.

"Elf kin.... trick me..... aid in killing forest....."

His muscles tensed, and his eyes narrowed. The wyvern growled, this time far more menacingly.

"HARM ME..... ELF KIN WILL PAY!"

He smashed his tail into the structure twice, leaving large indentations in it, before he turned to Discord.

"Slay them.... SLAY THEM ALL!"

[dinoman666]

Discord boredly pointed a thumb over his shoulder in the general direction of the path. "Go get 'em, tiger..."

[Godzilla Forever]

Without hesitation, Nitsunobue followed his nose, charing straight past Discord and Sammael, nearly hitting them both with his tail as he thundered on by, and disappeared into the forest...

[Giratina93]

The body that Akuro now possesed landed near the Stalkers, before eyeing their mounts suspiciously. That kind of body would be more useful than this... however, beggers couldn't be chosers. "Alright. Let's get going then." He hissed to the stalkers, making certain that they knew it was him, and not some random talking wyvern...

Mara kept her hands tight on the horse's reins, making certain not to let go...

[dinoman666]

Discord smirked as Nitsunobue charged away, patting Sammael on the head. "Well Sammy, it looks like we've got work to do. Now, I know Zazikel wanted you to kill them yourself, but I feel like the situation calls for less brute force and more..." The chimera narrowed his eyes and grinned deviously. "...finesse..."

Tetto'eko, meanwhile, was busy staring at the ground, trying to find tracks of where the Hellhound had gone off to. He chirped over his shoulder at his companions, "Well, I can now confirm that we are indeed dealing with a Hellhound, and a high-ranking one at that. The strange thing is, there seems to be only one. If the Archdemon knew you'd be in a group, why would he send only one hunter to track you down? There HAS to be something more to this..."

[Godzilla Forever]

The Stalkers, being slightly magical themselves, sensed Akuro's presence within the Ashen Wyvern. With a beat of wings, the Fell Beasts flew up and past Akuro, the Stalkers soon heading towards the kiraharra, and the last known hiding place of Bardhvadok....

Both horses soon exitted the gates of Gorgoroth, which shut shortly after their departure, Sharavuras turned to Mara. "You see the mountain off in the distance?" Sharavuras pointed to a giant structure of Onyx and obsidian, towering over the volcano Gorgoroth was located near. "That is the Zi-Mal. We shall arrive there within the next hour."

Nitsunobue breathed hard and fiercely, intent on having his revenge. His mind was in a state of chaos. One side of him wanted to believe the elves, that the Archdemon was evil. The other side thinks that the elves are the direct cause for all of this and, while the Archdemon is still to be eliminated, they must be punished. This conflict was tearing the poor, demented Wyvern's mind apart. If he wasn't helped out soon, he'd be reduced to nothing more than a mindless brute- but another animal, hellbent on destruction....

[Giratina93]

AKuro flapped his wings once, and took off after the stalkers. Already, he was envisioning sucess from this quest... but at the same time, he was wondering if Mara would suceed in her quest... He still needed her... for now.

" Alrigh tthen. Let's hop this goes smoothly and without incident." Mara replied. So that was where they were heading... this was gonig to be fun...

[Godzilla Forever]

"Have you gone far into the kiraharra before... Lord Akuro?" the masked man inquried as they saored high above Aster. He still felt wierd referring to the Kitsune as his lord...

A period of silence fell over the duo, as the horses slowed to a more reasonable jog.

"Why did you join Lord Akuro, Mistress Mara?" Sharavuras asked. "What made you align yourself with him? His wisdom? Power?"

[Giratina93]

" I have moved throuhg the outer limits of the kiraharra once or twice, but I've never gone in there." , the demon crackled. He had never gone inside there, because his main focus was on Germania. Other lands would come later once he had asserted full control over it, and the kiraharra was one of those places...

Mara looked away from him, and straight forward. This was a tough question to answer on her part. Why DID she allign herself with Akuro? "Um, it's because of a incident that occured a long time ago. I was left alone in the world, with no one to take care of me when I was very young. But Akuro had showed up when I was in my darkest hour. He offered me a place to live, a purpose for my being... and I accepted it. From then on, I have served him as well as I can..."
