[QUOTE="JharyOConnah, post: 7884861, member: 7016431"] [B]"Chaos..."[/B] the man said in response to Ralph Crenshaw, [B]"Please, I can barely stand. The...plan was to run away with my dear, sweet Ursala...But...I don't think I'm long for this world...Please approach and kneel, Dreaming Knight. You have been chosen by the Grail to succeed me..."[/B] He winced again, still resting on the pile of soggy haystacks. He held the glowing sword up with his right hand. As he raised the blade the barn was illuminated a bit more. Shadows played against the rafters, but Ralph caught something else out the corner of his eyes. There was a small open window over the loft of the barn and the Dreaming Knight spied something sinister approaching through the air. Lit by a flash of lightning, it looked like a beast from the depths of the abyss, half bear and half lion with the wings of a vulture. It would be inside the barn within moments. * * * Eovin didn't see the small glade ahead of them until the horses had already entered it. Jim and the pixie heard a high-pitched squeak as the light flew up above the center of the small clearing in the woods. Laynard's son screamed as the horses stopped suddenly. [B]"No! Pop!"[/B] The pack animals grumbled too. [B]"Whoa, lady! Scary things up there!" "Boss!? Uh oh! Who's gonna feed us now?"[/B] Up ahead, the area bright because of the mysterious ball of light, was a ring of mushrooms in the middle of a little tree-less hill. Also, in the middle, were the two scary, chaos creatures with strange animalistic features. Laynard was lying on the ground, a dagger in the grass near his hand. (Roll for initiative!) * * * Selythin landed on the bank of the weird river, slightly ahead of the rowboat that drifted downstream through the churning water. The smoke was thicker down here. The elven prince could see burned trees scattered about. Down river, in a great distance, was some sort of large stone keep or ruin. Fires burned in that direction and Selythin assumed that's where the smell came from. The mountain above, and the realm the prince knew as home, were gone. He definitely wasn't in "kansas" anymore. Yet still, the voice that called out, that particular chuckling, Selythin recognized it. [B]"Hahaha. Cousin! You've managed to survive too, eh? What a stroke of luck for the both of us... Can't say I've seen a single other living soul since I narrowly escaped."[/B] It was the elven prince's cousin, Zenythin. He stood in the little boat waving and smiling a sarcastic smile as it flowed past. [B]"Not sure where we might be, though. Don't recognize any landmarks at all..."[/B] He spoke louder and louder as the rowboat gained distance. He kept laughing as the boat continued along, carried by the current, getting further and further away. * * * [/QUOTE]
