Elementalists (Open RP)

[Ibi Tanvaal]

Mara was horrified at how dark Firefly's armour had gone, but hid her emotions for the moment. "Firefly, what are you doing? Your friends and I are worried about you. Also, have you slept since we met? You're looking rather tired..."

[Firefly Wolfy]

*Firefly tilts his head - making a face like he's about to cry - then smiles showing all his teeth*
What are you talking about!? Why should you be worried about me?! I've never been better! I'm the king now! I've saved the North from this wretched oppression... And sleep? I don't need it anymore.


*The wolf perks his ears*
Do you hear that mara? That's the sound of all my new friends, 10,000 to be exact... Malric had his chance to shape this country. Now it's my turn...

[Ibi Tanvaal]

Mara stepped forward. "Invasion is not the right way. You're doing exactly what Malric was doing, thinking you have it all figured out." Her head tilted down as her eyes went almost black, void of emotion. "You share one fatal flaw, however..."
Aether was almost dripping from her hands.

[Firefly Wolfy]

And what would that fatal flaw be, my sweet Mara?
*Firefly puts his paw on the hilt of his sword - slowly backing up*

[Ibi Tanvaal]

Mara stepped closer, laying a hand on Firefly's armour. "Deep down, in your heart of hearts... You don't really want this."

[Dubaku]

*Dubaku sauntered about the town, noticing the large arrows soaring over him, hearing every loud crack and crumble as they impacted the temple, These chaotic noises accompanied by the quaking footsteps of the thousands of soldiers approaching* I suppose now's as good a time for a diversion as any... *he got down on one knee and placed his palms firmly on the ground* Jishin-kan *he silently muttered to himself as he formed a small pool of molten rock and sent it tunneling toward the approaching fleet*  Kanbotsu! *he had the molten rock dissolve the subsiding rock, forming a massive pit under a large patch of ground in the fleet's path* And now to wait...

[Firefly Wolfy]

*Firefly backed away - A very large Silver imprint was left on Firefly's dark armour where mara touched him - The wolf's face became sad again- looking down at the silver imprint*


You think you know me, but you don't. I've lived a terrible life, everything I ever loved was taken away from me. I lived in fear. My people lived in fear. Malric made us this way! I will undo everything, and return the North to its former glory. If it costs the lives of a few hundred innocents to make this nation great again... So be it. This is my kingdom now.

 
*The wolf looks at mara with anger - The rings around his eyes are so dark he looks like he could pass out*
You couldn't possibly understand what I've suffered... Now step aside, I have a war to win.


*The 10,000 soldiers are closer - their marching is making the ground shake*

[Dubaku]

*Dubaku follows the sound of the approaching fleet, the subterrainian magma serpent following close by, He stood directly in front of the approaching wave of soldiers, right on the soon-to-be sinkhole* Well, this must be them... *he reached one hand back and firmly gripped his greatsword* It'd be wise if y'all just turned back now! *he shouted*

[Firefly Wolfy]

*The army is in eye view - their marching is as loud as an earthquake*

[Dubaku]

*Dubaku clasped his hands and meditated, letting some of his aura recharge before getting ready to "fight" the mass of troops, he then turns around and saunters away in meditation, letting the army walk right into his trap, hopeful that it should delay them just long enough so the temple's defenses can form up a solid blockade* 'Gotta find an Aeromancer' *he thought to himself*
 

[Ibi Tanvaal]

Mara stood still, in Firefly's way. "I won't let you do the same thing as Malric. Innocents do not have to die, and you know it." She put a hand on each of Firefly's shoulders.

[Dubaku]

*Dubaku ran and threw down his greatsword, the magma serpent carried it along the ground as he hopped atop the hulking sword and rid it all the way back to the temple, starting to have doubts if any of the soldiers fell into the trap*

[Firefly Wolfy]

*Firefly didn't say a word - he looked back a mara - his eyes filled with emotion - his shoulder armour began to turn silver where mara touched him - The wolf slumped back into his throne and covered his eyes as tears rolled down his face - Realizing what he was about to do - his over exhaustion nearly driving him to insanity*


The first time we met I tried to kill you... Now here you stand trying to save me. Fate is an odd thing, isn't it?


(meanwhile...)


*the army noticed Dubaku - ignoring his shouting - They continue to march toward the castle*

[Ibi Tanvaal]

Mara held Firefly close, hugging him. "It's not too late to call off the attack..."

[Dr. Alka Wolf]

Cherri barely mustered the strength to pull a berry from her bag and pop one in her mouth. After taking a deep breath and shaking her head she slowly got to her feet... "Ugh... W-Woah!" and then collapsed again. "Ow...."
