[shadow=purple,left,300](Is it too late to join in?  )[/shadow] Name: Maianna of Mount Mairr Gender: Female Race: Fairy of fire Age: Adult Occupation: Firemage/healer Name: Sirach Gender: Male Race: Elf Age: On the borderline between young adult and adult Occupation: Swordsman/sniper "Are you sure this is the right place?" asked the elf in a low rumble as they trekked through the snowy path. He had a tanned, sinewy face and the muscular arms and torso of someone who knew how to handle a weapon, despite his small size. "You told me I would be able to find my parents' secret here..." Sirach wrapped his long, fake fur-lined coat around him tighter as he followed the faint orange glimmer that was his fairy companion. Sirach's jet-black, wavy hair was obscured by a matching cap with a small steel spike jutting out from the top, and his eyes, almost as dark as his hair, glanced around his icy surroundings skeptically. He carried nothing but a single bag, his broadsword, a longbow and a few arrows in a quiver. "I assure you, I promised that when you turn eighteen, I would take you to the place where your parents were killed. I'm not about to break my promise." The fairy flitted ahead of him, enveloped in an orange glow that kept her perfectly warm. Maianna, often called Mai, was a fire fairy, adept at controlling the wild element. Not only that, she could heal. She and Sirach had been best friends for as long as either of them could remember, and it was Mai and her family who had rescued him on that fateful night at this exact place sixteen years ago. Ever since then, Sirach had trained long and hard for the day when he and Mai would return...but his thoughts were interrupted by an arrow whizzing past them. "I see trouble!" whispered Mai, pointing. "Apparently some guys are having a little fun. Perhaps we should join them?" "You, there!" called the elf to no one in particular. "What's going on?" |

((Never too late! Welcome! ;D))
The creaking of the ice was now one long groan, and started to drown out even the gnome's whatever weapon (will have to dig up its name again) and the calls of the newcomers. Jeylu grimaced, and climbed cautiously to the top of his boulder. Sprawled out like a spider, he watched as the landscape before him began to shift and pull downward, and slowly, then faster, slide down the mountain-side.
(Avalanche!)

"An avalanche? Now?" whispered Sirach fearfully. "Can you handle this?"
"If I melt the snow," said Mai slowly, "it'll turn into water, and to make sure it doesn't drown everyone, I would have to make it evaporate. That requires a double whammy of life force from yours truly, you know."
The elf narrowed his eyes. "In short," he said, "you're not powerful enough."
"Pretty much," said Mai. "But I can do something else."
Mai quickly started gathering up a ball of fire that formed in her palms. Sirach knew better than to meddle in whatever she was doing; he learned that from experience, living with a stubborn fire fairy like Maianna of Mount Mairr, who called a volcano her home and was actually encouraged at a young age to play with fire.
At last, a sphere as large as Sirach's head was hovering before Mai. Her eyes glittered with accomplishment, anticipation, and a bit of pride as she raised her hands, sending the large ball of flames into the sky like a shining beacon, beaming flares in all directions and also marking the place where Sirach and Mai were.
"I hope they get our message," she said.

((hop on in!))
((*ponders latest post* I'd like to see what Keldor & Mindy have to say before adding much, however...))
Jeylu watched as the ball of fire appeared in the sky. Had the gnomish device exploded? But then, as the flares descended to the ground, he thought he saw a figure, and something hanging in the air next to it, glowing...
He opened his mouth to call out something, but the gnomish device, somehow now flying with helicopter-like protusions (don't ask) spewed a spray of shrapnel in his direction and he had to duck behind the boulder again. ((someone turn that thing off! Keldor!!!))

Name: Alovi
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Age: Young Adult
Occupation: Archer/Bow maker
Name: Nuyto
Gender: Male
Race: Demon
Age: Adult
Occupation: Spy/Assassin
"Why are we up in mountains again?" complained Alovi. She was, after all, just a human and the temperatures were well below freezing. She had light blue eyes with stunning blond hair. Even when she was freezing, she was very attractive. She wore a bright pink jacket and pink pants match. And on her feet we boots with fur lining. Even on a mission, she had to be stylish. But one thing stuck out on her. She had a reddish brown bow with creative designs all over it. She made it after all and it was it pride and joy. A few quivers came with the bow, all with white and pink feathers at the end. "Last time I almost fell off a cliff." She complained again.
Nuyto laughed at the memory. "That's what you get for wearing high heels to a mountain setting." Nuyto, a demon, was hopping around, his razor-sharp tail waving lazily. Nuyto was once a human, once a little boy that cared for nothing but love. His father bet his son's life with an enchantress and he lost. The boy, was turned into a demon, a freak. His body was colored blue with jet-black hair and his eyes glowed demonic red. But instead of turning evil, the boy, now an adult, put his new body to good use. He was trained at acrobats, learning to use his new tail. After a while, he bought two light swords that are held across his back and trained to fight with them. Soon, he became the best assassin and was hired by royalty. He was currently on a mission now. Alovi was along to help for she was Nuyto's best and only friend. Alovi was given to Nuyto as a teenager as a slave but Nuyto freed her instantly. And instead of running in terror, Alovi stuck by Nuyto. "But let's hurry, night is falling. "
In the distance, the two friends heard a low rumbling and then they saw flames in the air. To the left, they saw four figures, dodging some sort of weapon. And on the right, the saw where they flame had come from, two figures, one was glowing. "Be on your guard my friend,, this might be the reason why we came to the mountains" Nuyto took the two swords into both his hands and arched his tail into attention.
"I always am," Alovi smiled as she took the bow from her back. She loaded two arrows and got ready for anything and everything.

Thaligar had managed to get his shield readied, and he crouched behind it perilously close to the edge of the avalanch. "Ye durned gnome! How do ye turn the cursed thing off?!"
There was no response, as Gimbosh's flight had already carried him out of earshot. Not that he would have heard anyway over the avalanch, of course.
Abruptly, the hovering crossbow device stoped firing with a series of clicks. The device flew over toward the boulder Jeylu was sprawled on, and abruptly droped from the air, landing a hair's bredth from the elf's head with a loud clang. It then proceeded to make a strange whirring noise, vaguely like someone ripping cloth into strips, and a slip of paper sprouted from a slot on the device.
~~~
Gimbosh's flight took him straight into the demon Nuyto, the force of the collision nearly sending him to the ground.
The gnome sat up, and his face lit up when he saw the demon. "Most fascinating! An I correct to assume that you are a type of demon? I have never had the chance to study one up close, although I have witnessed one at a distance. Held still a jiffy so that I can perpare some scientific sketches and- oh-" Gimbosh noticed the woman for the first time, "I take it that you are a succubus. Your usage of fashionable clothing, even in as unusual environment such as this indicates it. However, I had expected that a succubus would wear something somewhat more exposing, though I hypothisize that the cold has make you don a considerably more insulating attire..." Gimbosh chattered delightedly on.

"Nuyto, what is this..thing?" Alovi questioned.
"Sadly, it is a gnome, a too-intelligent-for-its-own-good gnome. But luckily, it doesn't look that trained in battle. I think we can lower our guard." Nuyto slipped the swords behind his back and Alovi slipped the bow around her.
"What are you doing here?" called Nuyto to the gnome but nothing was heard since the avalance was getting louder...

"Get out of the way! There's an avalanche!" shouted Sirach, as loud as his voice could go. "Follow the flames!"
Mai raised an eyebrow at him. "They'll know. You don't have to add that last part," she said cynically. "And if they get buried in the avalanche because they weren't listening, it's not our fault."

Jeylu clung to his rock, eyeing the odd device. Ever so cautiously, he reached out to take the sheet of paper, every second expecting the thing to reach out and snap his hand off or some other devilish manauever.
No sooner had he grasped the paper did his rock give a wild lurch, and the crossbow device clattered out of reach. Jeylu scrabbled for a better hold as sheets of ice crashed into the bottom of the boulder, threatening to take it along for a ride down the mountain. Wondering what he had gotten himself into, Jeylu looked around for a better perch to leap to, but decided with all the shifting ice around him, up high was safer than down low.

Diae watched from her perch and smoothly blew the wisps of smoke and blue mist from the barrel. The cliffside had blown away even better than she'd expected it to. And by the looks of it, there would be quite a few more casualties than the ones she'd initially threatened. It wouldn't be hard to simply pilfer anything from their frozen snow-buried corpses with a few modified magnatism spells.
Locking Nightmare's safety mechanism she sheathed it back into her belt and watched the massacre of a spectacle unfold.

Nuyto started hopping towards the creatures at the avalance.
"I'm guessing you want to save them," said Alovi with a yawn. "Always trying to be the hero, well, but you're appearance doesn't fit the part." Alovi started giggling at the comment she made. Nuyto didn't stop jumping towards the creatures but he turned around and smiled a devilish grin.
"Sorry for the quick introduction, I'm Nuyto, a FRIENDLY demon. And you are? Wait, no time, it's time to go!" Nuyto said to the creatures when he got to them. He wrapped his strong tail and wrapped it around the drawf. And with that, he threw the dwarf at least 20 feet away from the shfting ice. "Now for the heavy one," Nuyto jumped to the rock besides the Sirian elf. "Good day!"

The gnomish crossbow took to the air again, looking to all the world like nothing so much as an annoyed scarab. It flew toward Jeylu again as the demon pulled him to safety, and resolutely dropped again at his feet. The slip of paper was still sticking out of the slot on its side.
Thaligar let out a stream of curses as he looked around trying to figure out what was going on.
Gimbosh was completely oblivious to the happenings around him, as he dug through his pack in search of paper, ink, automatic compasses, protractors, and all the various essentials for making a sketch. It was a good thing he was safely away from the avalanch.

As one by one, everyone moved away from the avalanche and towards safety, Sirach took a good look at them all. Each one was more different than the next, and all of them were armed. Sirach gripped his longbow and his sword and stood tall, his dark gaze surveying anyone who passed him by.
"Suspicious, aren't you, young elf?" asked Mai, flicking her eyes towards her comrade for a second before turning back to her flaming orb.
"Any one of them," he whispered to her. "Any one of them could have been him. Or her."
But nonetheless, he gave each of them a little wave. Perhaps Maianna was right - he needed to learn how to trust again.
