[YB] A Peice of the Past Returns...... [New Character]

Rathan

First Post
A man cloaked in grey rides into the area..... his shape and form known only the the old and wise of this land.....

The Acient Masters remember him and bow at his presense.....

The figure dismounts and shambles to the center of town.... as to make an annoucnement......

The figure now folds back his cloakhood..... and now it becomes known who this man is.... only warriors of old would bear his name.....

"I have returned from the grip of shadow and death...... my name..... is Rathan"

Rathan smiles and speaks one word......

"Volo"

then after a pause he speaks again....

"I feel now he is no longer with us.... neither are most of the ones I used to know...... how I have missed this place.. and how good it feels to be back..."

"I shall rebuild my former brothhood and make it strong again.... and much wiser we will be this time....."

Rathan smiles again....

Kalanyr approaches from somewhere in the distance.

"Ah, Welcome Brother of Light, I remember your death and the party afterwards with Kamard, it was not long after I came to this land, though I do believe that you were hardly honourable at the time of your demise, but I had heard of better times and your attempt to redeem yourself. "
 

"Kalanyr...... yes...I remember you.... yes...my last days here in Yberia were grim...... the shadow had almost over taken me... I begged for the light to overcome me once again...... yet.... meowth had other plans...... he slew me and put my life the a bitter end......"

"I have watched from a long time..... from a place between the heavens and the hells.... not knowing my fate....... I saw all my friends come and go.... Luft..... Volo.... Vanor.... yes.... I even saw the disapperence of the great Wicht....."

"I have forgiven all.... and have forgotten alot.... what I hope to do here..... is start the Brotherhood of the Light once more...and Kalanyr... I ask you a huge favor....."

"Be my first member..... be the keystone in the Brotherhood of the Light..... we shall wade into shadow.... we will become stong..... we will have many members.... evil shall fear us.....

Gustaf the blue haired warrior of light shows his face. "I don't know you, and I don't care, but I was informed that you may have a relation with a certain Tori Sadoshi of which I'm formerly aquainted...

Gustaf eyes Rathan like he might be some kind of thug or bandit. After his peace is afirmed by the warrior of light's presence, he confirms that this man is not truely evil.

"Do you lay claim to these?"

Gustaf's hand presents itself with two coins. Gustaf smiles, flints, and throws them both up into the air.

"If you take these coins before they hit the ground, I'll assume you know where they came from, by what means, and what to do with them. If not, I'll take them back up and be on my merry way. I may be required to pay for a funeral if I cannot find the appropriate place for these two coins."
 

"I was told you had something for me good warrior of the light...I was told to take these coins..... but please.... I would rather see my brother Tori have a proper burial....."

"It has been a long while sense I had seen him.... even long before my death here.... but I am reborn.... I have been shown the light and I will never stray....."

"It seems to me he chose the wrong path..... and payed for his choice.... it's too bad..I thought there was some hope of saving him..... I thought wrong...please... take the coins and give him what proper burial you can buy...if you will not then I will....."

"I also wish to speak to you about joining my brotherhood.... if you have not herd of The Brotherhood of the Light.. it is a group... or what used to be a group of fine warriors seeking to keep the evil from getting out of control..... we... well... failed the first time...."

"I will not fail again......"

"what say you warrior of the light.... will you be among the Brotherhood???"
 

" I am not sure I wish to be bound by ties to an organisation, but your cause seems noble and I remember that the Brotherhood was great before the Week of Darkness. I will join your organisation. "
 

"Did you know I'm the heir to the king of Finney? Probably not...

I can't be involved in a religion outside of my alegiance, but you can count me as a sponsor and ally in all things. In other words, I'm in for everything except the clergy."

Gustaf smiles, and then runs his hand through his two foot tall blue hair.
 

"Silly Gustaf..."

"The Brotherhood is not a religion..... it's a bond made between men and women alike.. a vow if you will to keep evil at bay........ it's a group of warriors aginst evil and evil doings....... "

"If you are willing.... you may join me in this bond....."

Rathan smiles....
 

"Alright then, I'm in... and in turn I'll tell you just enough to become more helpful to me."

Gustaf pauses, thinks for a second, and then speaks...

"I'm here to recover Gustave the XIII's steel sword. Where I come from, magic allows a person to empower his own weapons and armor without the need for crude kai-draining metals like steal. However, Gustave had an incredible amount of "Anima" or "Ki" as you call it. His Anima couldn't use "quells" or other ki channeling devices, and so he took up steel. He initiated the age of steel, and crushed the dark hoardes with a gread degree of ease. However, he died in a surprise attack."

"I'm here to recover his sword, and the sword of my kingdom. Once I have these two objects, I am to return to Finney and restore the kingdom from this 'Fake Gustave' that appears to be trying to take over the world. If I can crush Gustave with those weapons, I can stop the whole gamut of world destruction that has cycled through my home and become the new king of Finney, Steel, and the world."

Gustaf pauses for a second and takes a breath...

"Have any of you seen a weapon with the power of a pheonix, complete mastery of such fire, that is also a powerful Sword? The other weapon is probably an incredibly potent sword with many increased powers that an honor fighter would have. If no such item exists, I suspect the only solution would be to acquire enough yen to locate and purchase the items through a middle man..."
