Lore of Leyuna RPG (FRPG)

[The Kingpin]

Septimus and the King flinched almost simultaniously, the voice ringing through their minds disturbingly. "What was that?" growled Septimus, fangs bared, though his aggression was not directed at the Sovereign, the Dragon's gaze shooting across the walls and ceiling, searching for a source. "I don't know...Scrapaclunka! Allkay teh crumplesparka!" said the King, the Zuppolandian segment of his response directed at the Guards, who rushed off down one of the hallways connected to the throne room as the King's gaze landed on Desrium. "Desunka...Desrium...I have been warned by my predecessors to be wary of his appearance. Do you know what he is, Septimus?" questioned the King, though he already knew the answer. The Dragon shook his head. "That's why we came looking for Zuppoland, your majesty. To find out his past" responded the Dragon. "Oh, what a past it is...One of the most horrific magical incidents in Zuppoland's history" said the King concernedly...

Arashi rumbled irritably as he felt the voice ring out in his mind. There was something about this voice that unnerved him. It was powerful, and far-reaching. What it was though, was a mystery...though for something as far-reaching as that...he had no doubt he'd soon learn what it was...

Desrium's feet thumped against the palace floor after he slipped off of Septimus' back. He stepped away from the Hueilin to eye the marine monarch at level ground. He stood around 7 inches taller than the armored being whose expression was frozen into a malicious gaze. "Explain" he said bluntly. Having never met royalty before, his mannerisms towards the Zuppoland king were less than satisfactory. Not that he would care, given the subject at hand...

Tetto'eko clutched his head in pain for a moment, clenching his teeth. "What... was that?" he hissed. Discord didn't speak for a moment. "Hmm... I'm not quite sure. Sound portentous, though. Ooh, I LOVE ominous prophecies! They always raise more questions than they answer! It's delightful! Unfortunately, while I would love to spend all day mulling it over, I simply must get back to our little game..."

The shadowy tendril spasmed for a moment under the brief mental assault, Zazikel hissing furiously in his mind. He did not have time for that, unfortunately, and crept on, leaking like liquid shadow through the cracks in Trajan's bedchamber's doors...

[Giratina93]

Trajan was indeed fast asleep. The king was snoozing away on his bed, his hand clutching the knife that he had by him...

Elsewhere in Tristan, Guame was sitting once more on a rooftop, when the voice boomed in his mind. The beastman looked around, before he pulled his pipe out of his mouth. "Something... something bad is about to happen..." Guame quietly murmured, the armadillo cautious...

As Mara followed Sharavuras, she heard the voice blast into her mind. She looked around, wondering where it had come from, but, figuring it was only her imagination, she continued on, having dismounted from her horse...

Akuro continued after the stalkers, he too having heard the voice. He could sense somethin horribly wrong... something that he didn't like... but what was it, he didn't know...

Not too fary away, Djinn was shaking her head, the entity having gotten a headache from how loud the voice was. She groaned, rubbing her eyes as she continued to walk on... Whatever it was that was going to occur, she hoped she wouldn't be dragged into it by Guame...

[dinoman666]

A voice, sibilant and none too friendly, whispered in Trajan's head as he slept:

"Wake up, Emperor... It's time for a little chit-chat..."

[Godzilla Forever]

The castellan felt an intense pain in his head suddenly, touching his temple, before continuing on his way. "It appears more than just an archdemon awaits us...." Sharavuras continued on his way, soon reaching Burzum's hall...

The Stalkers seemed unaffected by the voice, though they too had felt it. Now in a rush, the Stalkers began to fly faster, Gorgoroth almost upon them...

Even as far as Draxon it was felt, for in his sleep, Draco felt a disturbing presence enter his dreams....

[Giratina93]

The moment the voic espoke, Trajan's eyes snapped open. He turned, and swung his knife out, his paranoia of getting assassinated having activated...

Mara followed him inside, the half-demon now contemplating his words. More than an archdemon? That prase, along with what she had heard earlier, was starting to cause an emotion Mara had never known up until this point... FEAR.

Akuro sped up as he continued on toward the castle...

[dinoman666]

The voice chuckled, but its owner could not be seen. "Why so nervous, Trajan? Long night? I can see why..."

[TyrannoTitan]

"What...?" One of the magi whispered, as if something spoke to him. The other two looked over, as if understanding, but something was wrong. They were sweating, as if under immense stress, their torment going unnoticed by the Prince and his guards, but not by Lucifron. "Fight it." the Sentinel growled, causing Bolthammer to look at him questioningly. "Chrome...NO!" one of the others yelled as the goblin began to scream, his flesh turning pale in an instant, his face contorting and shifting, his neck extending and his arms seeming to fuse together. In a few seconds, the goblin was a shapeless abomination, its eyes black and position far down its elongated neck, gaping maw now filled with razor sharp teeth. "WHAT IN THE NAME OF PROFIT?!" The Trade Prince screamed as he scrambled away from this hideous creature that was once one of his trusted elite. Lucifron stepped forward and hoisted the abominable creature into the air with one metal hand, preventing it from moving but at the same time studying it, as if intrigued. "KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT!" Bolthammer yelled from behind his throne, and the sentinel acknowledged him slightly. Clenching his hand into a fist, the midsection of the mound of flesh exploded, the creature shrieking as most of its body was destroyed. Dropping the former goblin, Lucifron turned back to those surviving magi. "Unless you want to end the same way, I'd advise you both concentrate. Hard." the Sentinel said in his usual icy calm voice, the two magi sweating profusely in response, as if fighting for their very lives...

Across Aster, magic users of every species, age, and gender were experiencing this similar stress, although only when they try to use magic. Many would succumb, and reports of these abominations began to roll in from across the continent. Even in the forgotten depths of Zuppoland, one of their kind failed to resist the change, and began to contort and deform before the eyes of its associates, limbs falling off only to slither away, eyes growing in number, masses of flesh building around its forehead and shoulder, making its body disproportionate and grotesque...

[Godzilla Forever]

Sharavuras approached Burzum's throne, gazing upon his lord, before bowing.

"Ah, I see you and mistress mara have returned from the Zi-Mal."

"Indeed," Sharavuras replied.

"Well? Is the Black King under our banner?"

"He has pledged his alligience to us."

"Hmhmhm.... excellent." Burzum taps his fingers on his throne.

"Mistress Mara- you are free to explore Gorgoroth until I call upon you again. Sharavuras- I have something for you to complete."

Sharavuras nods, knowing Burzum wishes for them to speak in peace.

Soon, The walls of Gorgoroth pass under the Stalkers, and the gates creak open ever so slightly for Akuro to enter...

[Giratina93]

Trajan looked around, trying to identify where the voice was coming from, but it was much too dark for him to see. "W-Who are you, and what do you want?" He asked, now moving into shock as to how someone, or something, could get past his guards at the castle entrance...

Mara bowed as well, before she turned to leave. So I'm free to look around the place... nice, I guess... My plans for Tristan have already been set in motion, so I can just relax here... she thought as she left the throne room...

Akuro moved under the gate, and slowed down his pace. he was now back in Gorgoroth.. though he was stil cautious...

[dinoman666]

"I'm... a friend," the voice hissed. "Do calm down, if you please. I only wish to talk..." Some of the shadows to Trajan's right began to move, seemingly of their own accord...

[C S]

The denizens of Zuppoland watched as their comrade gave into the madness plaguing their very form. With a terribly cry of pain and agony, the Zuppolandian dropped to the ground. In seconds their mind was broken, and before long they were letting out almost ecstatic praises of their suffering. Horror spread through the sparkling streets and the pristine, dream-like utopia was rapidly morphing into a nightmare. Into action the green armored guards sprung, herding the civilians away while corralling their former countryman, their spears and tridents crackling with energy. The light reflected off of the fleshy masses of muscle and teeth. Horrible tendrils coated in what looked like rotting flesh coiled and writhed, and many eyes that contained the realm of the netherworld peered out at the line of defense...

[Giratina93]

Trajan, noticing the movement, began to calm down, lowering his dagger-like knife. "What is it... that you want to talk about?" Trajan asked...

[Godzilla Forever]

As soon as Akuro entered, three olog-Hai, guided by orcish masters, dragged the sleeping dragon off Akuro's back and began to chain him up, tying up his wings, mouth, and arms...

"I felt a deadly presence...."

"As did I," Sharavuras said.

"I fear that something horrible has awoken..." Burzum said fearfully.

"Not since the times when gods walked amongst us has such power been in the world, my lord," Sharavuras replied.

"We will need to gain as many allies as we can. Strengthen our barriers." Burzum cracked his fingers.

"As you wish, my lord..." Sharavuras said. As much as he knew Burzum disliked him, he knew one thing- when Burzum grew fearful, it was somethnig worth fearing.

[dinoman666]

The shadows began to swirl and condense into a vaguely humanoid, cylindrical creature, with two white pinpricks for eyes near the top of its body. "I'm here to talk politics, of course..."

[Giratina93]

Trajan nervously laughed. "You snuck your way into my bedroom... to speak politics... I have to say, you get points for style..." Trajan half-joked, now relatively calm, his eyes trained on the humanoid figure before him...

As Akuro breathed a sigh of relief, he picked up the scent of his pupil, Mara. He turned, and saw her walking toward him. The Kitsune coughed, spitting out a tiny bit of blood, before he advanced toward her, both stopping just feet from the other's face. At this distance, the height between the two was remarkable, with Mara coming up to the Kitsune's shoulder.

"Let me guess, you sensed that odd voice as well?"

"Yes, i have... And I have a very bad feeling about it. I have doubts Viral heard it so once you meet up with him, be sure to inform him." Akuro growled, before he added on, with an all too apparent tone of worry in his voice," Just to be on the safe side, limit your use of magic. When i tried to reach you telepathically just a while ago, I felt a terrible sensation that I only barely managed to shake off.. "

"Yes, master..." Mara replied, bowing down, before they both went off on their seperate way to observe the place. As she left, Mara began to think hard. Even Akuro seems terrified by what happened... if even HE is frightened... Mara shook her head, not wanting to think about it...

[dinoman666]

The shadow creature chuckled back. "I shall take that as a compliment. Now then, down to business. Please, have a seat." A twiglike arm waved at Trajan's bed, beckoning him to sit...

[Giratina93]

Trajan sat up in his bed, the covers still covering up some of him...

[dinoman666]

The shadowy being began to pace back and forth in front of Trajan's bed as it spoke. "Now, from what I've heard of your country, being the Emperor comes with a lot of power. But, the Pope even more so. If possible, I'd like to speak with both of you. I'd rather not explain my... offer twice..."
