Supremacy (A Role-Playing thread)

[Gharik]

Gharik still gave orders even as he was lifted and wrapped up by the vines.

"Fire at will! break their concentration and spill some blood."

He then set about slicing through his bonds, wiggling about he began chopping through the advancing vines with a side of his weapon. A minor set-back, nothing more. He'd be free momentarily. Glaring at his enemies while he worked, he began to taunt them.

"Your spells can do nothing. Now...fight me like a real warrior!"

[Akaris]

OOC: I haven't written in a while, I'm rusty, sorry if it seems...wierd. I'll try to write a little better.

IC: Akaris

As the vines held the Warrior back, as Karnage began chanting in a fierce, yet trembling voice, and as the Elyos began closing ranks, Akaris started to warm up. His eyes began to glow a fierce green, emanating pure, untainted power. He rose slowly into the air, unsupported by his wings, his hands left his side slowly, and settled about a foot away from his body, palm side facing forward, towards the oncoming enemies. His eyes were open, and the light was bright enough to cause a small number of the Elyos to dim their intense focus, and squint their large eyes. In one of his hands, the one where the Keystone had fused with him, the area where rock had merged with man, the tattoo, or rather, scar, seemed to be set on fire. It glowed a fierce, dancing yellow, and it shimmered.

Akaris began to speak in an ancient tongue, now so familiar, it had become like his natural language. The words flowed quickly from the back of his head, almost instinct now. Akaris' simple, faint black robe began to wave in the rising wind, and was starting to shimmer in the dimming light, with dancing purple patterns begin to emerge from deep within the layers of his robes, as if they had been awakened from some deep sleep. As the words rapidly flowed from his mouth, Akaris felt the energy gathering around him, he could feel the energy of the other being channeled, taking the small remnants of energy, and creating something bigger. It was exactly as Dreamer had taught him...

Although it was relatively early in the day, it was already starting to get darker. The clouds began gathering, and the sky was overcast with a dreary gray color. The sun could not be seen any longer. Even as more energy began to be channeled, Akaris started willing the energy into action. Lightning struck just to the right of the Elyos, then to the right of Karnage, causing him to stutter one of the words, but not deviate from the chant, the beginnings of which started to give Akaris some extra power to fuel such a powerful spell. Shadows began to dance all around Akaris, the lightning seemed to come more quickly now, and soon enough, a large fireball erupted out of the sky, the first of many. Akaris, however, did not seem to stop chanting, or casting.

Fire danced all around him, small enough not hurt anyone, though big enough to attract some attention. Willing it forward, it rushed towards the seemingly unknown Gladiator, and swerved past him, opening up to avoid the strongly built frame of the Gladiator, creating a large gale. The fire turned, almost too quick for the familiar face to notice. If he had moved a second slower, he would be on the ground, in a critical condition. Instead of trying again, Akaris let the fire burn out slowly. Sometimes, it was better to have some fun with your enemy...

His arms were raised now, in an active battle position, straight out in front of him, with the two index fingers up, and the others gradually descending. A large ethereal blue began to envelope the area around in which they were fighting. Akaris stole a quick peak at Dreamer, he seemed to be focused and seemed to be helping Akaris silently and yet, still doing his own spell casting as well.

The familiar landscape of trees disappeared briefly, flitting between an ethereal version of their surroundings, a deep blue, to the regular world. The blue erupted into a mystic flame that danced around all of the fighters, guiding them. The fight raged on, no one cared to stop fighting, for fear that someone else might attack while they were distracted. Even with all of these spectacles, Purifier kept his calm, and seemed intent on keeping the other Gladiators from disturbing either Akaris or Karnage. The world around them stopped in an unfamiliar blue color, and Akaris slowly dropped to his feet, his eyes still burning the mystic green. He smiled slowly. Next to him, Karnage finished the triumphant chant.

The storm raged all around them, in this unfamiliar world. Akaris hid his surprise, he had not expected his spell to work so well, especially his first actual time performing it...I certainly would not be able to do that on my own...

OOC: Ariel, apply for an RP, or get out of here and stay out.

IC: Karnage

Karnage felt like a bow string pull to its max. His chain-mail had been pulled taught as his muscles had swelled, and his eyes had taken on an even deeper hue of red. All the hair on his body was standing straight up like lightning had struck him, and his magic reserves, which had been dwindling over the course of the battle, felt completely refilled. Forgetting the fears he had accrued over his first use of the chant, Karnage didn't waste a beat, as he knew how fleeting this power was.

Throwing himself up and over Purifiers head without even spreading his wings, Karnage rushed at one of the Elyos Rangers. Dust and chunks of earth flew as his claws gouged a path in the ground. Karnage didn't even wait for fear to show in the Ranger's eyes before he brought one of his staff's blades up in an arc that gouged so deep into the Elyos' gut that the Ranger was lifted a full foot off the ground before being flung into the forest. Turning to look back at the Gladiator emeshed in the vines, Karnage saw that he was almost free. Jumping back to help Purifier dispatch the group of Gladiators that he was trying to hold back, Karnage kept a wary eye on the Elyos with the bizarre aura.

[Gharik]

His brothers were falling faster than these asmodians were, their magic was too powerful. Finally freeing himself, it was time for them to meet his blade. Thunder and lightning crashed around him, but he could feel no fear. Leaping straight at the cause of this chaos, he shouted in defiance, his voice piercing the storm like a lion's roar.

"I am the supreme!" As he swung with all his might.

Tags: all the asmodians, but he swung at Akaris.

[The Dreamer]

IC: The Dreamer

Licking his prey's blood off of his crimson stained claws, The Dreamer laughed softly to himself. He danced the dance of blades, calmly and purposefully avoiding his enemies attacks as he had done countless times in the past. They move, so slow...why do they wish to die? Dreamer had already entered into the blood lust; he began to lose himself in the carnage that swarmed around him, savoring every kill he made. Faintly he was aware of his companions, a small voice in his mind reminding him that they were necessary. Why...Why can't I kill them too? No...not yet, not here. He quickly spun around, to grasp the head of an Elyos who had foolishily chosen to lunge at him from behind. The Dreamer smiled, while increasing the pressure of air causing the Elyos' skull to implode on itself. Blood splattered across The Dreamer's face. Suddenly, that tiny voice returned, warning him. He took notice of a gladiator that his companions seemed so infatuated with. "I am the supreme!" The Gladiator cried, swinging down on Akaris. The ground shook, as Dreamer quickly casted. The earth below Akaris and the Elyos gladiator erupted, flinging both in opposite directions. "Supremecy," The Dreamer whispered, "Is not for the living."


OOC: I'm going to stay out of the rest of the battle.

[Gharik]

"Does every asmodian cast magic now?" Gharik said to himself, as he flipped in the air and spread his wings. Not wanting to let any of his emotions show now, he sped right back towards Akaris. The others could be dealt with after.

Flying with all the speed of the daeva, he rushed at his target till he was yet again but feet away and went to impale him.

[Halan]

OCC: Ok not that good really but I’m kinda rusty now and need to get back into the story so this will do.
IC: Halan

“Well that was a quick one Halan thought to himself as he looked down on the balaurs bloody corpses. Suddenly getting an uneasy feeling he turned his gaze to the west seeing a strike of thunder, a few seconds later another lightning fell down on what both looked and felt like the same place. Somehow he always been able feel magic if strong enough and the stronger the more precise where it came from.
“well if this isn’t interesting he muttered to himself”. You said anything? Halan turned around and noticed the question been from Agarloki, “nothing at all but I need to go and check that storm he said and pointed to west, there is something weird going on there". With those words the wings burst forth and he began flying to where that feeling came from, whoever casted that spell was no pushover that was for sure atleast.

OCC: Sorry took so long, but Im back

IC: Purifier

Seeing that another gladiator had taken interest in the battle, Purifier readied himself to make quick game off him, But there was something strange about him that even Akaris Fireball could not handle. He really wanted to smash into him but the remaining gladiators saw their fellow comrade and had regained anew vigor. "Now, we cant let that happen now, can we" He thought to himself. It was only mere seconds had he thought this that he saw Akaris prepare a powerful Firestorm and hurl it at the Gladitor but still to no gain. "If only I can get these blasted gladiators out of the way, Fools! they think that banging on my shield will make me weaker!". Suddenly he felt the a rushing wind go past his head and as he looked up he saw Karnage staff twirling in hand like a madman come crashing down on the very fortunate Ranger and soon on the other gladiators. He quickly casted Demoralizing Aura to weaken the gladiators so that Karnage could do what he did best. Now that they were taken care of he could do his duty much better. As he turned around to jump into battle a sharp light nearly blinded him, it was the Dreamer's spell, as he regained some vision he saw the gladiator on the floor and quickly got up, he saw him make ready and rush at Akaris. With the speed chant still infused with him he rushed to Akaris's aid, Raising his shield to deflect the blow and take all the brunt of the attack on himself. Just as a precautionary measure he infused his shield with the Protection of the Earth. Making it more durable and any attack would stun his opponent. It was pure luck that he made it in time, raising his shield and taking the full blow. " This Gladitor was very powerful, he had never felt such a blow". He even managed to dent his shield. As soon he saw him ready another blow and bring it down on him; Purifier used Shield Bash to use a magic shield to deflect the blow and also push the Gladitor away a few feet. "Now you shall feel my blade Elyos!"

[Gharik]

Gharik was shocked, he was finally facing someone who did not depend on magic. It was dissapointing how he had not managed to kill his target, but this was expected. Guardians always rush in front of weaker ones to save the day, and this Asmodian in front of him was no different. He began to twirl his double bladed weapon as he spoke.

"Now we'll have some fun."

Closing his eyes, his weapon began moving faster as it spun around him. It became a blur, speeding up faster, and faster. Gharik enjoyed the air rushing by his body, almost fanning himself. His weapon no longer was a sword, but a bubble of steel.

His arms never missing a beat to the tune of his racing heart, he opened his eyes and stared at the asmodian.

"Take your best shot! Try not to die too quickly." he shouted.

IC: Purifier

A small smirk crept on Purifiers face "This fool thinks that he can twirl his blade and take me out".Purifier rose from his knealt position and straightened himself relaxing his muscles yet not advancing either. He felt the weight of the blade in his hand, and massiveness of his shield in his left hand, the Heavy Armor rising to the intake of fresh air. He readied himself again and chanted a new spell The Dreamer had thought him. It was mostly for rushing straight into a line of polearms. His shield blazed crimson, his sword a bright blue and he drew energy from the very earth itself. His shield became lighter and with each advancing step his armor heavier. "If it's a fight he wants, it'll be a fight he'll get".With renewed power he ran straight for the Elyos, Shield raised and sword pointed straight at the gladiators heart.

IC:

"Here we go." Gharik breathed to himself, "Keep calm, no emotions."

His blades still spinning, the elyos moved like lightning. Parrying the onrushing stab to his left with his bottom blade, he continued the motion, bringing his weapon around his head and swinging the top blade at the asmodian's legs. As he swung, he whirled around his opponent, so that he was facing behind the asmodian. Swinging his blade again, he brought it down as hard as he could at his back. The entire movement was so smooth, it was like he had choreographed it.

IC: Purifier

Astonishment filled Purifier, The Elyos had managed to gain the upper hand and was now behind him. Within moments he started to move around but it was too late, the attack had already finished and blade hit his back catching onto his right shoulder pauldron and thus dispersing some of the momentum. The damage had be done nonetheless, a sharp shock hit the Purifier blanking his mind for a matter of seconds. But what he saw when his vision cleared was the Elyos on top of him raising his blade and bringing it down on him. He closed his eyes as if in prayer, "I guess this is were my journey ends". He waited for the perfect death; only something every Templar dreamed off. Looks like the journey wasn't over yet, he opened his eyes to see what was taking the Elyos so long and found a bright light, or being blocking the attack. Taking the distraction he sprung off the ground and on his feet, he reinforced his shield with the Battering Ram spell and was about to charge at the Elyos, but noticed that the white light was his Master. "Had he come back from the dead?".So many questions plagued his mind at once, but he knew what he must do. He charged headlong into the Elyos, hoping to push him off the cliff.

[Gharik]

IC:
"How is this possible?" Gharik asked himself. Never before had anyone evaded the death he brought as these Asmodians were doing. This strange light, guarding the one he was about to slay, keeping the asmodian just out of reach from Gharik's blade. "Oh how I long for the days when battles were easy." He lamented to himself. As the asmodian got up and charged at him again, Gharik jumped backwards, off the cliff behind him as his wings flew out again, keeping him hovering in place.

"They rush like the tides of eternity," he began reciting a poem as his foe ran towards him. "Their gods protect in vain. I will not die!" He screamed as he flew at his opponent once more. Swinging his blades quickly, he knocked the shield with his double bladed swords, then allowed his body to take the rest of the force from the oncoming blow, as he went to stab above the shield at the asmodian's shoulder. The connection jolted him, but he fought on. He stayed looking confident, but inwardly he began to worry. He knew when he needed help...

IC: Purifier

As Purifier headed for the Elyos he saw him jump off the cliff and float mid air. "Haha no worry I can still destroy him". He now saw the Elyos charge at him and he prepared for impact but still kept charging head on. The gladiator kept smashing blow after blow on his shield but he didn't let down once. The Purifier now fought with such vigor and passion than he had ever had. He quickly chanted a quick spell and placed a buff on shield. The next blow on his shield would stun the gladiator to a point of impairing him for a few seconds. "After that I will finish him off".
