Lore of Leyuna RPG (FRPG)

[Godzilla Forever]

Burzum nodded to the two.

"Most excellent."

The ancient olog-Hai turns to Akuro first.

"The stalkers await your command at the western gate. Move quickly, lord Akuro, and tread lightly."

He then turns to Mara.

"The orcs are in the Barracks. Don't leave them waiting too long, mistress Mara, or they might get.... testy with your command when you finally arrive."

[C S]

"Alright then" Desrium said simply, his unblinking red eyes peering into Jiier's golden ones...

[Giratina93]

"As you wish" Both Mara and Akuro replied, before they hurried off, AKuro to the west gate, and Mara, to the Barracks...

"So it seems that someone else now has valuable information." Guame sighed. He had just finished fillnig Djinn in on the details of what had happened last night after she had split off from him.

"Well, let's just hope that Akuro doesn't know of it. Were he too..." Djinn slipped into silence,as if straining to hear something.

"Akuro's no longer the big problem here, Djinn. Our main concern is-"

"Wait." Djinn interupted him, lifting up a finger. " Do you hear that... it sounds liek there's a commotion nearby."

Guame was about to reply, when he himself began to hear it. It sounded like a crowd was gathering nearby, and not for the usual entertainment either. Something was going on, and if that smell he was now picking up was any indication, then there was a demon there as well... In a hurry, both he and Djinn dashed off, toward the growing ruckus...

[Godzilla Forever]

The stalkers are, as Burzum said they were, waiting at the western gate with roughly 5 big, heavily armored olog-hai. The trolls were armed with large nets and a shield to protect them from fire, but they otherwise had no weapons. The Masked man saw Akuro approach and marched up to him.

"It appears fate has joined us together once again. Give the command, and we shall move out."

The orcs watched as Mara entered, and were about to cause some trouble, but a lead orc stepped up, this one looking a bit less armored than the others. In fact, all he had was a robe, a staff, and a weird little dragon that was sitting on his staff, which glared at Mara intently.

"Greetings, my mistress. I am Shurzak, orc shaman, at your service."

As this orc bowed, another came up beside Shurzak and pushed him aside quickly. This one a bit bigger, and had some heavy armor made of iron and adorned with ebony spikes. He also carried a curved sword at his side.

"And I'm Urg. I'm captain of these maggots. What I say, goes. No ifs, ands, or buts. If you have a problem with someone, tell me and I'll go sort it out."

The shaman soon went beside the much larger orc captain, before he spoke once again.

"I'd say we should get a move on."

"Who made you captain?! I say when we get a move on or not!" Urg growled at the shaman.

"Well, why not let our commander make that choice?" Shurzak said.

"Commander?!" Urg bellowed. "When was this announced?!"

"Did master Sharavuras not alert you?" Shurzak inquried. "She's in charge today." He gestuered to Mara.

"Preposterous!" Urg growled. "If she wants to control this group, she'll need to prove it first!"

Suddenly, the burly orc pulled out his menacing curved blade, as the shaman backed off and the orcs began to chant, "Gijakudob!", expecting a fight....

[Giratina93]

Mara chuckled, before she put her snake-headed staff to the side, her hands bursting into flames. "If you guys wish to have a fight instead of obey orders passed down from the man himself, then fine by me." Mara grinned, ignoring the brief bolt of pain shooting through her mind. If these eggheads really needed some sense beaten into them, then she'd do just that...

" We shall move out now. I don't need to possess a vessel in order to complete this quest." Auro replied...

[Godzilla Forever]

Urg was a bit spooked by the fire, but he wasn't about to back down over a little fire. The orc let out a yell before he slashed his blade towards Mara, the heavy iron blade tearing through the air with an audible whoosh....

"As you wish, lord Akuro." The masked man and the stalkers began to move out, as did the Olog-Hai...

[Giratina93]

Akuro himself also took off, heading for the forest... where the beast he had been warned of lived...

Mara sidestepped the swing, and retaliated with a kick to the stomach, the attack forcing the orc to stagger back, Mara's half-demon blood allowing her to hit far harder than a normal human, the demoness being quic to followup with a fiery uppercut aimed at the chin...

By the time Guame and Djinn arrived at the scene, it was obvious that it was no normal commotion. A large crowd was gathered in the town square, and Guame could make out several soldiers maing their way throgh the crowd. In the middle, appeared to be a young woman, no older than her mid 20's. She wore a white and black dress with long ribbon going across the middle, and white ribbon across the arms. Along with this, she wore a red, long cape. But what was most unusual about her, and what caught Guame's attention instantly, was her hair. it was long, wavy, and light brown, but at the top, it seemed to fade into purple. Guame could also tell that the demonic scent was coming from her. No doubt she was the cause of all this commotion, with her odd appearance against everyone else here. Lifting up a finger to motion Djinn to stay still, the two of them hid ontop of the building they were on, to watch the scene before them unfold...

[Godzilla Forever]

A plume of flame erupted around urg's face, charring his already charred flesh and blindign him temporarily. The orc captain staggered back, stunned and shaking his head, before he lunged again, this time striking Mara in the gut with his fist first before bringing his blade down towards her head....

the stalkers moved with grand agility across the wasteland. The Olog-Hai were running as quickly as their stubby legs would carry them. thye had a long journey ahead of them.... the forest would prove to be dangerous to traverse, even if one was supernatural....

[InfernalAngel]

Alecia lay in wait for her target. She was crouched on the branch of a tall tree, her katana unseathed and sitting lossely in her hands. She calmed her heart rate and told herself she could do this.

An unatural crack of lightning rang out. The signal... he was comeing.

[Godzilla Forever]

A deep sniffing was heard far below on the ground. Thumping feet and panting breath perturbed the assassin's train of thought. The creature below tore its claws gently across the tree's trunk, making a soft scratching sound along the base of the tree. The creature made a taunting sound, as if trying to goad to assassin down. Whatever it was, the creature seemed to make no attempts to be subtle about its intentions...

[InfernalAngel]

Alecia froze. The tree was shakeing and it was obvious something large was below her. Tenseing, she rasised her blade, ready to fight. Whateverit was, it seemed to be... taunting her? Maybe it wanted something? "Who knows," she told herself, "In a forest like this almost anything can kill you."

She quietly removed on hand from her lightning quick blade, and grabbed a Black egg, A mixture of crushed glass, peppers and dust, designed to slice an oppents muscus membrane and eyes apart. The presumably unintelligent beast would sniff in hard from the sharp peppers smell, or claw at its own eyes to relive the burning pain from the peppers. But this would only lacerate its eyes with the glass.

[Giratina93]

Akuro darted along the ground, the Kitsne's mind not on what he was doing, but on what Mara had told him. Now, he wasn't one to be worried over wat he was told, but in the back of his mind, his thoughts were still on the dragon that Mara had spoken of to him before on a few occasions, the one she had apparently met over a decade ago...

As the fist swung at him, Mara was quick to grab it, then use the Orc's own momentum against him, the Orc falling flat on his face, as the demoness put a foot on his head. "Now are you gonna accept my orders, or do you want more punishment?" Mara gloated, flames seemingly burning in her eyes...

"What' going on here? WHat's with all the noise?" One of the guards yelled out as he pushed through the crowd, before he noticed the woman standing in the empty circle around the crowd. "Who are you, and what brings a mage like you here?"

" My name is Byakuren, and I was simply passing through here when this crowd gathered around me..." the womn replied, a sweet smile spread across her face. "Though, I am surprised that you recognized me as a mage right away..."

" Your cothing is what sets you apart." The guard spoke, as a few of his pals also showed up. "No one arond here dresses up in black and white like that, and clothing like that tends to only be from mages." However, as he spoke, something was eating away at the back of his mind... Byakuren? Where had he heard that name before?

[Godzilla Forever]

The beast paused for a moment, silencing its breathing, as if attempting to find its prey. The creature took in a deep sniff of air, and suddenly reared up to its full height. Just as suddenly, it let out a horrifying scream. The sound was almost unnatural, and peirced the assassin's mind like a knife thrust into her body. Before she could regain her conciousness, she could hear the sound of sharp claws tearing their way up the tree....

The troop continued their long march, the eves of the western forest visible far off in the distance. The deep, raspy breaths of Olog-Hai, and the hissing of the sprinting stalkers was all each of them could hear. Hopefully, they would make it with some time to spare....

Urg let out a groan as he glanced up at the woman. He'd lost.... to a woman?! A human, nonetheless?! But, seeing he had no other options (and morannon orcs aren't known for their courage), he sighed and spoke.

"Alright, you win. I await your command."

The other orcs immediately fell into formation, fearful of if Mara would do the same to them if they diobeyed her orders....

[Giratina93]

Mara smirked as se saw the orcs all file in formation. Works every time, especially for dumb brutes. the half-demon thought before she too her foot off the orc captain " Good. Now, if any of you begin to doubt my leadership again, I won't be afraid to try some fried orc for dinner tonight, understand?" She snapped, before contining, "Let's get a move on right now, folks. We have to head south and recruit some Brutes, understand?"

Akuro, now moving at a slower pace, sniffed the air. He could smell it, they were getting close...

As the guard thought, it finallyy hit him. " Wait... Your the demon exterminator that we've been hearing about for some time!" the guard spoke out, abit rather loudly.

" Well... yes, that would be me..." Byakuren replied, giggling nervously while scratching the back of her head.

Needless to say, this only caused the crowd to come even closer, cries of shock and amazement coming from the various members. From where he was, Guame could hear everything. He himself had heard of this "Demon Exterminator" for quite some time now, about 15 years, infact. Granted, it was only in the form of a rumor or two every now and then, but no matter... Though, what he was now wondering was, if this person had been in the business for 15 years as the rumors said, then why did she look so young? It didn't make any sense... unless...

[Godzilla Forever]

The orcs all nod feverishly, not willing to get roasted over somethnig as petty as orders. Orcs immediately get a move on, having a good feeling where they are heading, the captain following the others, but not before throwing a glare at Mara. The shaman was the last to depart, trying to stick by a fellow magic user...

The Masked Man paused, before he raised his hand, commanding the others to stop. The other stalkers immediately halted, while the Olog-Hai caught up with the others, huffing and puffing deeply from the run.

"What is it? What do you smell?" The Masked Man inquired.

[Giratina93]

Akuro sniffed the air once more, before a certain odor slammed into his nostrils. " Dragon." He hissed. " The area up ahead... it reeks of dragon..."

Mara walked up toward the shaman, keeping up next to him "So, are these usually this dense? I can't imagine Burzum putting up with them..." Mara wispered, not wanting to let the other orcs hear her.

Byakuren tried to keep the crowd a good distance away, but it was no use. The were upon her, asking her questions about her demon eterminations and whatnot. She sighed, nowing tht her semi-fame was partially her own fault. She had been wandering around Germania in particular fo rthe past few years, helping out the various villages in the area. As it would have turned out, her prolongued visit in the area had made the people around here concious to her existance, and if this kept up, then her intentions would be more difficult to accomplish...

[Godzilla Forever]

The Olog-Hai sniffed the air as well, and immediately were seized by fear. The stalkers nodded, noting the beasts' nervousness.

"We must tread lightly then. We don't want one of thsoe fiery beasts roasting us whiel we catch us some Krayts."

The stalkers begin to move more stealthily, while the Olog-Hai simply did a normal, slow march...

"Unfortunately, yes, they are," Shurzak replied. "But orcs rule by who's strongest. Seeing how big Burzum is makes them not question him, or Sharavuras. The Stalkers have no command, but have respect from the orcs becuase they once were orcs themselves. You, however... they are hesitant to take commands from a human, a female one especially, sicne they were at war with men and elves back in their homeland."

[Giratina93]

Akuro nodded, and also began to move silently and stealthily as well. From the scent, it was only 1 dragon, but he knew that it was Smaug's scent, even without having meet him before. It was the only dragon sround these parts from what he knew, and the scent was only going to get stronger from here on out...

"Might makes right, eh? I cold live in that kind of society..." Mara smirked, before adding on, "So what kind of creatures are these brutes we're after?"

As the guard tried to eep the crowd back in order to give the demon exterminator some room, a fellow guard member wispered a message into his ear. The guard gave a confused look, before he turned to Byakuren. " It would appear that Emperor Trajan has heard you're here already, and wants to meet you personally..."

"Is that so?" Byakuren wondered, before nodding. " Alright, I'll meet him. I guess he has a job for me." With that, the guards began to escourt her off to the castle, Guame and Djinn still watching from where they were hiding...

[Godzilla Forever]

The stalkers continued moving along. They had spotted no Krayts yet.... but when they did, they'd know. How can one miss a bipedal draconian?

"I haven't seen one myself," Shurzak grunted. "The stalkers say that they're large, muscular creatures, roughly five and a half to six feet tall. They like heavy armor, from what they said. I'm just hoping they don't slaughter us on sight...."

[TyrannoTitan]

"When I tell you to look within yourself, I know that is not actually possible. You must use your mind's eye, to peer within your soul, your very essence," Jiier explained, breathing in deeply to demonstrate.
