Protectors of the Earth

[Grace.E]

Emrelda glanced at the plate. she started to tremble, she couldn't beat around the bush on this one "I know Vakeed...he has a habit of collecting things... especially females, he has been after me for centuries...I know what he does to our sex, it gruesome, violent and horrible" she had to choke down vomit. if anything, a dragon should feel hatred towards him, not fear. her violently shaking hands raised and clutched the river stone around her neck. the gnome bowed his head " my friend did mention something about an Emerald Lady...I am supposing he is talking about you"
after all these years of peace, now she had two problems to deal with,
One: Oonagi and world Destruction
Two: A demonic dragon who wants her for his bed for an eternity
the gnome tipped his hat "well, I must say...your stunning beauty will catch any male eye"
a tear streamed down her face, he didn't just do anything horrible to her...that monster killed Emrelda's one, precious treasure out of jealousy...Isobel. the child's face appeared in her mind, she lowered her head to hide her tears...she didn't want to show weakness.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono thought about the name and description of Vakeed, then remembered such an individual as he was working with that person for nearly more than half his assignments. "Vakeed, been about six months since I last saw him, he was a bit of a womanizer, but he said he was saving himself for a 'special green gal'. He wasn't really all that powerful when we ran our jobs. Then again, my view of 'powerful' is a tad bit different from most monster killers."

[Grace.E]

Emrelda let out a an agonized whimper. "he's a murderer...I don't know what is sooo special about me, and why that man wants me, but he did something that was unforgivable" she fell to the floor on her knees. she didn't notice that her trembling hand began to clutch Chrono's robe. angry, stricken with greif and scared "I should of killed him when I had the chance..." she felt so pitiful, weak... thats when she started to lose her consciousness 

Post Merge: August 19, 2010, 11:29:34 PMWhat did Vakeed do to you Emrelda? Io's voice asked, concern in his voice. Emrelda's body still trembled "I can-" slowly her vision faded into nothingness

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono looked about, then ate the gnome fillet before picking up Emrelda and taking her down to the hidden cave, laying her down by the water before changing Zora back into a spear. Father, Evrin and I will deal with Vakeed, please get Emrelda awake before then... was all that was said before Chrono rushed back up the stairs and out of the cave, keeping his own elemental strength down to that of a mortal with no magical ability. Zora encased him in an aura of spirit energy, and they both floated high above the cave and farther out.

Chrono knew Vakeed loved to swoop down on his targets, so he would have to 'join' him in the air...

[Grace.E]

Emrelda...Emrelda, wake up Emrelda opened her eyes, she let out a cry of agony as the image of the murdered Isobel laid in front of her cave
"SHIRO!" she cried. she needed him, her only friend who would understand that pain.  Io let out a sympathetic sigh. Chrono and Zora are taking care of him... Emrelda didn't move. Zoraida, Emrelda is awake...I think we have hit an emotional trigger in the Dream Daughter, find out from Vakeed who this...Isobel was and what Vakeed plans to do with Emrelda, Emrelda won't tell
Emrelda got up and began to rush back to the library, Shiro was still here, she needed to get to him before Vakeed did, hopefully Chrono will hold him off, but if Vakeed found out about Shiro...hell will break loose
"SHIRO! SHIRO!" she continued to call, she ran into the library and grabbed his shoulders "come with me!"

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono floated in the sky as he could feel Vakeed approach. He could tell Vakeed had changed in the six month absence, as he was giving off an overkill of elemental energy. A combat-ready mage would never display their full power when travelling, so he knew something had upset him. But, he could also tell from the trajectory that he wasn't even being registered in Vakeed's "threat radar". So, Chrono only uncloaked his powers for a few seconds before re-cloaking them.

Vakeed changed his flight path from Emrelda's cave and went right for Chrono. He stopped right within ten yards of Chrono, then pointed a talon at him as if demanding something. "They told me you hold knowledge of the locks, tell me!" Vakeed demanded, obviously not in the mood for pleasantries.

"Six months and not even a single hello." He floated around Vakeed with an air of calm about him, even though his questions were demanding.

"Is Taea the one who found you and convinced you to find me?"

"Do not speak of her so casually, Mistress Earth is far more powerful than either of us!" Chrono had a cheeky smile as he poined at a green earring Taea had him wear when he undid her seal.

"Vakeed, this is my contract to her, if you wish to address her as 'Mistress', then I am your Master since I have her power linked to me." This only seemed to enrage the mage as he threw a rather large fireball at Chrono.

"You betrayed her love and her trust, you have no link to her!!"

[Grace.E]

she heard Vekeeds ramble. this was not going to be pretty....

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Zoraida was the only one who could contact anyone while being so far away from anyone helpful. So, she made sure to keep her father informed of who Vakeed was. Vakeed never mentiond anyone of important named Isobel during his time with Evrin, but right now hes under Taea's influence. So, his priority is not Emrelda or Shiro.

"Very well, you shall test your power against mine, but all I ask is one question asked truthfully." Vakeed regained his composure, but was still furious at Chrono's outright defiance towards his 'Mistress'.

"You may ask, but Mistress Earth knows more than I."

"Who is Isobel?"

"I-Isobe-" Taea's influence seemed to wane at the question.

"What about Emrelda for that matter?!"

"E-Enough, that forest green wench means nothing to me!! Now die for your impudence!" Chrono held out his hand before firing an indigo beam right through Vakeed's shoulder.

"I liked it better when you talked after fighting... now leave before I put another hole in your body." Vakeed didn't budge from where he got shot, in fact he straightened himself out as a green glow emenated from the hole before sealing back up.

"Mistress gave me eternal life for my service, something that your contract alone cannot provide." Chrono sighed as his former friend was not only mind-controlled by Taea, but has flipped his personality to be at the beck and call of those he used to think so little of.

"She also made you into her *****, but I guess you could have just lost interest in getting a harem." Chrono was getting good at taunting his enemies, something he rarely did due to the danger of not being able to simply run away if it got too hairy...

[Grace.E]

Io's voice sighed looks like we are in trouble...Vakeed has been poisoned and won't talk...you wont talk... Emrelda sighed Isobel is not of your concern
now she is...who is SHE!? the voice was demamding, Emrelda sighed in defeat Isobel was my adoptive human daughter

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono had fired several anti-elemental beams through Vakeed, which seemed to actually knock some of Taea's influence out as he looked at Chrono differently.

"Brother, I truly do not wish to raise my blade, but my Mist-gaack!!" Chrono cut him off by firing right through his mouth, stopping his train of though and also disrupting her control over him.

"Since when did you let a woman order you around, especially when she likes me more than you?" That last statement seemed to bring Vakeed completely out of the 'poison', but the problom was for how long...

"Isobel, you said? Yes, I killed her, although more out of necessity than preference. Emrelda, my dear... I trouble you no more!" Chrono considered this a rant, but regained his focus when he noticed Vakeed raising his staff at him.

"Come 'brother', let us have a grand battle for I am still bound to that cursed witch's will!!" Chrono nodded with a small smile as both knew how this fight was going to end...

Shiro looked up at the rumblings outside the Library.
"Of all the confounded..." he stepped up to the doorway, his coyote paws stepping lightly on the cold floor. Eliza, his companion spirit, issued forth.
"Master, there is a fierce struggle ahead... i suggest you prepare yourself."
"Fine with.... Me" his eyes flared up with green fire.
He opened the door into the chamber and saw the fights. Fire lept up around the chamber and souls appeared around in silent vigil.
"WHAT is going ON in HERE?" he shouted

[Grace.E]

Emrelda followed shiro to where the struggle was. Chrono and Vakeed floated several feet in the air, she glared at the one person who ruined her life. when she heard the his words her body roared with rage "why did you do it Vakeed, why? Isobel did not harm you! she was just a child!"

[Alice The Necrofox]

Shiro looked up as he stepped outside, seeing the dragons fighting.
"Ugh... why does it always have to be dragons who fight..." he waved his paws in patterns, whistling under his breath a couple of tones, and drawing a symbol with burning green fire into the air. He made another gesture, and the spirits that had followed them outside gathered into a swarm, dove into the earth, and was silent.

Then a huge hand made of bones and spirits flew out of the Earth and wrapped itself around Vakeed, covering first his mouth, then his claws, then dragging him down to earth, sealing him in a coffin made of bone. He appeared in front of the cage and slammed his fist into the cage, and a huge Charter Magic seal appeared, holding the bones in place.

"That probably wont last very long... it was only designed to be sealed for a short amount of time. The amount of power he has is too great. I need a more powerful entity to seal this."
Eliza appeared, all ghosty in front of him.
"Find me Kitt, we will need him" Shiro said, and the spirit bowed and disappeared.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono had felt it was justify to at least knock off Shiro's head, since he had basically knew that Vakeed had no real intention of living under the finger of Taea. Chrono 'flew' back down and whacked the blunt end of his spear into Shiro before putting a hand on the coffin to break the seal. "He wants to die by my hand, not stuffed into a box for the rest of his forced existance!!" He yelled before breaking the seal and shattering the bone-coffin. Vakeed had lain there for a few moments before brushing the bone chips off and flying back up, wanting one last fight before Taea finds him again. Chrono followed him, then they started trading blows once again, but Chrono had the advantage since his weapon was not only the same length, but also capable of inflicting deep wounds.

It was only a few more minutes before Vakeed slipped up and Chrono ran his spear right through him. Zora's presence in the spear became more pronounced as it had a white glow that covered Vakeed, and they both floated there for a moment before Vakeed's body slipped off the spear and plummeted to the rock below, but his spirit was preserved in the spear so he could speak with Emrelda when Chrono went back down to the cave...

[Grace.E]

She looked at Shiro and clutched his shoulder.a wave of relief and anger swept through her. she began to wonder...."How did Taea get ahold of him of all people" she looked at Shiro of an answer. Because he was desperate... no man can resist a seductive spell from a extremely beautiful woman...you are very seductive I might add Io spoke, I AM NOT SEDUCTIVE!
I must tell you this though...I think, maybe I am mistaken but Zora has taken quiet a liking to you Emrelda fumed don't change the subject, Zora is keeping herself from getting rid of me because...Chrono likes me and I can tell that she cares about him Io sighed You and Zora are alike in many ways... temperamental,to honest for your own good and sarcastic..but also both of you have a kind heart. but I must say this Emrelda, ever since your birth you have always been the compassionate, kind one Emrelda snorted That almost got me killed he laughed but its what makes you strong Emrelda, you may be different from all the rest of the dragons in the world but you know...its who you are....
Emrelda thought about that for a moment. the sentence 'who you are' repeated over and over in her head. maybe...but right now, Revenge is on my mind
