Maximus rode towards the small village of Estolad on his nightmare, followed by a small army of Skeletrones and Skrutes. Maximus arrived at the top of the hill and observed the small town with great interest while the rest of the army moved forward. "Perfect place to attack." He said to himself. He galloped his horse down the hill, and the army charged at the town, swords and spears drawn. When they arrived at the town, they started to attack the people who fought back, and take the others prisoner. Maximus slashed at men with his sword, severing heads and limbs. Maximus roared with laughter at their obvious victory.

The half drow, Vendaria, was sipping some brandy in the Kaima Inn when the soldiers first arrived. She heard the clinking sounds of chainmail and the heavy footsteps of the arriving soldiers, but didn't think anything of it...what a foolish mistake. A piercing scream shot through Vendaria's ears as the slaughter began. She stood up, dropping her mug all over the wooden table, and unsheathed her dagger. The men of the taverns grabbed their weapons as well and dashed outside, but Vendaria stayed put. 'What is going on?' She thought to herself. The sound of clashing swords and screams mixed with her fear as she dashed up towards the second floor for safety. She looked out a window, a soft orange glow was coming from one of the houses. That was most likley a fire, Vendaria figured. She spotted a very powerful looking man riding a demonic horse of some sort, he was slaughtering everyone in his path.

The half drow didn't want to die, she couldn't die! The sound of soldiers entering the tavern caused Vendaria to instinctivley run up to the third floor. She was trapping herself in, she had to get out somehow...

(( We aren't killing EVERYONE, we're killing the people who fight back and taking the others prisoner.))

Maximus looked around for the demonic presence he sensed. It was coming from a tall building in front of him which he knew as the pub. He dismounted his horse and walked towards the pub, killing the few men who stood in his way and attempted to stop him. He kicked in the door, shattering it too peices, and started up the stairs to the secon floor. When he found no one there, he continued to the third floor. The demonic presence was on this floor. He started too look around the rooms, searching for the unknown demon.

((Vendaria doesn't know that))

The sound of the soldier's feet ascending up the stairs was enough to know that they where going to find her sooner or later. She began weaving her hands in an intricate fashion, and whispered various spell words underneath her breath. Suddenly, 3 ghostly spirits appeared from the air in a small burst of grey smoke. ((Plea of Death is the spell)). She gave them no commands yet, but rather stepped behind them, waiting for the soldier to burst down the door to her hiding place.

Perhaps we can negotiate something...but why are they here? She thought, waiting to be found...

Maximus then arrived at the door from which the demonic presence was strongest. He was just about to break in until he felt another presence It wasn't of a character, but more of a ghost. That was when he realized what it was: The Plea of Death spell. He had seen it a few times before, but it was never used against him so he didn't know what it would do. He knocked on the door, and in a deep, booming voice said: "Open up!"

Vendaria did a light gasp at the sound of the deep voice: "Open Up!" She knew rather than to anger a man who could easily break the door down, she should probably open it up. Wait, that would be stupid...What if he attacked her as soon as she opened it? Then the idea struck her. Pointing towards one of the ghosts, she said in a shaky voice...

"You- open the door...." The spirit did as she said and opened the wooden door, revealing a powerful, extremley large demon wielding one of the largest swords she had ever seen. She instantly fell to her knees, tears rolling down her dark skinned cheeks.

"Please, don't kill me! I beg of you!" She begged. Drow weren't the usual race to beg, but Vendaria was half human. That would be her excuse anyways.

Maximus was shocked to see her on her knees. "Please don't kill me! I beg of you!" He roared with laughter. "Why would I want to kill you? I do not mindlessly slaughter people who do not attack me first! stand up!" He pulled her up onto her feet, and looked at the spirits in the room with them. "You have good magic abilities! You have great potential young one! Why don't you join the Dark society? We could use someone like you." He said encouragingly.

Vendaria was slightly shocked to notice her head was still on. Having been forced to stand up straight, she did not look into the soldier's eyes, but rather at the wooden ground. The sound of screams and the smell of death made her decision that much easier. She wanted to live above all else, and perhaps being evil full time wouldn't be so bad. She smiled.

She looked towards the spirits and nodded, and they disapeared in another burst of grey smoke. She looked up to the demon's face, craning her neck upwards to meet his eyes. With a determined voice the half drow replied...

"I will join the Dark Society..." She said, nodding.

Maximus made the biggest grin he could. The Dark Society was growing. "You have made a very wise decision." He put a large hand on her shoulder and told her: "You will not regret it." He stood up straight and said: "After we are finished here, you must go to the Skeletrone Fortress in the Salequenor Grasslands for your initiation. It is not at all difficult, you will just be debriefed on our history and military." He turned towards the door then back to her and said: "I have a favor to ask of you. Once we have taken over this town, I need you to take the prisoners to the Skeletrone Fortress. You will be escorted by our best soldiers and men." He turned to the door and left, going outside to finish capturing the town.

Vendaria agreed to do as he said. Let's see, since she had to escort the prisoners to the Skeletrone Fortress, the same place she had to go to be briefed on their history and military, she might as well help capture the prisoners to speed up the process. Following her new general outside, extremley happy at being able to join the Dark Society, she lunged on on of Estolad's soldiers. Landing on his back she plunged her dagger into his chest, killing him instantly. She was very fortunate to be on the Dark Society's side. She flashed a smile at her general before jumping off her first victim and onto another.

She yelled out over the screams, "I never got your name!" she said as she pulled a dagger out of another man's body.

"General Maximus. My real name is Maximus Shakarr though." He smiled with glee as he saw her kill the soldiers with such precision. He was extremly impressed with her ability to move so swiftly! A group of Soldiers came at Maximus, and he launched a fireball at them, killing them all. He then heard a rumble, like galloping horses down the road. "Great. Calvary." He muttered to himself. There were about fifteen horses altogether and it was obvious which one was their leader. He was wearing a suit of Gold armor, and wielded a large gold sword with a jewel incrested handle. He had to have that sword. He turned to Vendaria and said: "We have calvary coming down the road. Looks like there's a royal guard with them too. Want to have some fun? Kill them all." He stood back, allowing Vendaria to go ahead.

Furiously Krakas ran out of the inn. His pleasant meet and greet was mulleting ruined because this insolent fool had to cause Chaos. What the hell was he thinking attacking a mulleting town? His aura was weak, and his damnanable minions were pathetic. He would not escape judgment this time. Snarling as he ran at the general. Krakas forced himself to pulse with dark energy and then replicate himself. His practice had paid on in the misty forest, there now were eight of him to fight. Krakas focused himself and summoned his abyss giant. The four-armed Cyclops stood over nine feet and craved blood. Looking at the demon, Krakas tossed him to long poles that had been knocked to the ground.

Silently Krakas whispered two more spells. Soon all of his replicas and the demon were covered in bark armor and they all moved in a blur as their speed greatly enhanced. This foolish and insolent general would die here and today.

Maximus roared with laughter. "You just do't know when to quit now do you Krakas? You know, you're really starting to get on my nerves....." He launched a fireball at the Cyclops, stopping and dazing it. That gave him the chance. He lunged at the cyclops, and landed on it's shoulders. With one quick swipe of his sowrd's blade, the Cyclops's head was severed from it's shoulders, and it fell to the ground with an Earthshattering vibration. Maximus then ran straight at Krakas's doubles, and launched a fireball just in time to stop a couple, making the others trip over them. Maximus roared with laughter. "It seems as though you are losing your Touch Krakas! Your pathetic doubles are clumsy fools!" After a few minutes, Maximus destroyed all the doubles with a few fireballs, then he turned to Krakas and said: "You just don't get it, do you? You just don't know when to quit, do you?!" He started to get anger in his voice, and his eyes started to glow red, and fire came from them. "You have annoyed me for the last time!!" He launched a large fireball at Krakas, and laughed.

(waiting to repost)

Vendaria heard the calvary rushing through the village as well. "Your will shall be done!" She replied, hearing the command to take care of them. However, just as she was about to react, a stranger burst out of the inn. With some complex spell castings, multiple versions of the man appeared. She looked towards her General, he didn't seem phased at all. However, a powerful Cyclops appeared and wielded two large poles.

"Maximus, I'll handle the Calvary! Good look with the wizard!" She said, turning her attention towards the calvary. She moved her hands in another complex motion and whispered a spell. Vendaria laughed to see that her spell had worked, the horses stopped running and reared up. The soldiers, who didn't seem to feel the effects of her fear spell, had fallen off the horses. Vendaria was happy to the see horses rush out of the village in fright. With another spell, 3 more spirits appeared. "Attack those soldiers!" She commanded her followers, and she jumped upward. Landing on the shoulders of a dazed soldier she sent her dagger into the unprotected neck of a soldier to her right. Then, she jumped upward, twisting her legs as she did so, snapping the neck of the soldier she stood on. She landed gracefully on the ground and looked towards her spirits, they were busy warding off a group of soldiers. Just as the half drow was about to plunge her dagger into another soldier, an arrow zoomed past her face. Looking upward, there were 3 archers at the village gate..."Spirits, get those archers!" She yelled. They did as she said, distracting the archers long enough for Vendaria to kill 3 more soldiers. She was growing tired, she was not as powerful as her General, and she was outnumbered...

"Maxi maxi maxi, when will you learn. Where ever evil is, there will always be a little good to counter it." She thought while walking casualy toward the battle field. Teleporting next to Krakas she kept her wits about her. "Well well, looks like you guys are having a party. Why haven't I been invited? Oh well, doesn't matter I guess I'll be the party crasher this time." She drew her sword, which burst into holy fires stronger than usual. "It seems I'm surrounded by evil. I guess I'll pick the weak ones off first. Come here Vendaria." She teleported in front of the drow, quickly killing the monsters. "You should have known better than to join with this creep. I'll give you a chance to back down and quit. Do the right thing ok?"

(Is this privet or open to the public?)

((I believe it is open, you meanie ^^))

Vendaria was shocked to see someone just appear in front of her. She looked over her equipment, it was top notch. She then heard the option to back down and leave. Should she do it, or risk death. She would be considered a traitor for leaving the Society, and the whole reason she joined was too feel accepted.

She looked over the battle field, feeling tired already from her previous fights. It looked like the Society was winning, but stronger opponents are showing up every second. It could swing either way. She could call out to Maximus for help, but what about that mage? As she thought over her predicament, a soldier lunged for her, sword in the air. She quickly side-stepped the attack and killed him with her dagger, and looked back towards the woman. She appeared to have dragon like qualities almost, it was hard to tell under all that armor.

Unsure of what to do, she waited for Maximus to see her. Rather than calling out for help, which would cause this woman to kill her, hopefully the general would help her without the need to tell him....She decided to stall.

"What do you mean by backing down? Leaving the battle field, or joining whatever alliance you are in..." She said in between her heavy breathing. She looked towards Maximus anxiously, he didn't appear to notice her yet. She awaited this woman's response.

((It's open Chrono. and don't worry Vendaria. I've fought chrono LOADS of times before.))

Maximus could feel when his allies were in danger, and Vandaria was in danger and he spun around to see Chrono challenging her. "You wait here Krakas. I'll finish you later." He turned to Chrono and launched a fireball at her, blowing her back from the impact. He dashed over to Vendaria and asked "Are you alright?" an arrow then hit him in the back of his armor, but it bounced off harmlessly. His armor could easily repel human and elf arrows no matter how many there was. He then drew his crossbow and shot the archer straight through the forehead with a barbed arrow. He put it away and said: "Start to round up the prisoners Vendaria! The others will be here very soon! Don't worry!" He then drew his sword and dashed at Chrono, but kept and eye on Krakas.

Vendaria breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, I shall do as you say!" She said, leaving Maximus behind. She cast plea of death one more time, and told the three spirits to help keep some soldiers off Maximus. Vendaria ran towards a group of mostly woman and children whose hands were tied behind there backs. It was common for most men to fight, it was usually the woman and children to give in. She pointed to a small group of soldiers who were finishing up on tieing a few more prisoners. "You there, come with me!" Vendaria commanded. As she led the soldiers and the prisoners out of Estolad, she spoke. "If you attempt to escape, you will be killed. March ahead of me and I will point you in the right direction."

Vendaria turned her head around and took a last look at the scolding Estolad. Maximus stood out like daylight, slaughtering soldier after soldier. Turning back around, she marched off towards Skeletrone Fortress.

EDIT:

OOC:
Uh oh...

Is the Skeletrone Fortress an ARP place? I can't see it in the board index. Eek! *sob*

Dizahab suddenly exploded from out the back door of the inn, and a river of enemy soldiers’ blood flowed out with him. The drow had become raged by such foolish and pathetic insolence caused by an attack on such a weak town of Estolad, obviously the charge was being lead by a coward. Several nearby troops charged him in their surprise and instinctively swung there feeble swords at him. Dizahab used his massive claws not only to block the on coming strikes, but to bat away there weapons. Then opening his claws the drow shouted a violent battle cry spinning a very graceful three hundred-sixty degree angle so fast wind gusts could be felt from all surrounding him, the drow then proceeded to up rise his claw into one soldier impaling him on it, then spun and tossed his body vertically down cracking his skull in one continuous motion. He then spun around another doing the same impaling technique, but this time as the other soldiers backed away he tossed the body into them like a rag doll. “RAWR!” he growled leaping into the crowd of soldiers that this time would be more hesitant to attack. He then caught a glimpse of Krakas already facing who appeared to be the leader. Dizahab then raised his claw in a cheer like motion of victory. The drow then plowed through another group of soldiers, until he accedenatly flew into another confrontation that appeared a battle was going to take place between two woman. That’s when Dizahab caught a glance at Vendaria, whom he immediately recognized as a drow. That stopped him cold in his tracks! Could this be another one of my kin?! he pondered to himself stunned speechless.

((The dark riders are like the Guys in those Black robes that rode those black horses on Lord of the Rings. They are as swift, fast, powerful, and strong as them too, so they are fairly hard to kill.))

Maximus Stood still. Someone else had arrived in the battle, but now was not the time. They had what they came for. "BACK TO THE FORTRESS!!!" He yelled to his men. The Skeletrones started to pull out, and Maximus did too. The entire town was deserted after the attack and Maximus walked over to a couple of catapults that were encamped on a nearby hill. "Destroy the town. Don't leave a single building standing! And keep those nuisences in that town." He rode his horse over to Vendaria, and said "You have done an awesome job Vendaria. You will be rewarded. Now. When we get to the fortress, I want you to head over to the meeting hall. I will be waiting for you there." He turned his head towards the sky and let out an Earshattering screech. After a few minutes, fifteen Dark Riders riding Skragons appeared. "They will escort you to the fortress. They will take care of any danger you may encounter, including those Fruitcakes back there. Now. I must see to buisness. I wish you safe traveling!" and he rode away towards the Skeletrone Fortress.

Vendaria was pleased that she had made the general happy. "Thank you for letting me join, Maximus. I shall do as you say, nor will I let you down. Prisoners, keep marching!"

The sound of explosions came from Estolad, and Vendaria turned around to get a quick look. Catapults were hurling large flaming rocks towards the village, and Vendaria did nothing but smile. She was very proud of herself for what she accomplished back there, and not only that but she had some powerful allies now.

Vendaria continued the march towards Skeletrone Fortress.

Dizahab snapped out of his state of shock put into by witnessing there was another drow like him on the battlefield. “What are you waiting for?! Don’t let them retreat kill them, take their gold and free your prisoners!!” Dizahab screamed at Estolad’s guards who apparently the general believed where just going to stand around and let him so much as leave. A little shocked and confused the drow was on their side the men decided what he was shouting at them made a lot of sense. Dizahab knew Krakas would be able to stop General Maximus from escape, thus he was going to go after the female drow…

As Vendaria was marching, one of the soldiers ran up to her. "Mistress, it appears as though a male Drow is following us..."

Vendaria stopped moving as other soldiers and prisoners walked past her. "A drow? A male drow you say?" She asked. She hadn't seen a drow for a long time, they usually where underground. For one to be in the Land of the Light fascinated Vendaria, and she turned around. She did indeed see a Drow in the distance, and a scattered group of soldiers behind him as well.

She yelled as loud as her lungs would allow, "Drow- You're stalking the wrong woman!" Hoping he heard that, she ordered the prisoners, soldiers, and Skragons to speed up. She didn't want to bother getting into a battle, but if it came to that she would surley win.

EDIT:

OOC: Ok, I don't know what's going on anymore because apparently the Dark Society guild was never purchased and Maximus is using items he didn't pay for so basically I'm doing illegal things without even knowing it. I won't post here until this mess is sorted out.

Shaking off the effects of the fireball she looked up to see a large flaming ball coming at her. "WHOA." Holding her hand out and focusing all of her energy on it she stoped it in mid air. "You left somthing." Sending the projectile flying back towards where it came from she looked over to all the retreating enemys. Her mind soon went to Vendaria. "Its not to late for that one. The feeling of being left out in the world must have caused a lot of pressure, probably leading to this." She closed her eyes and searched for the drows thoughts. It wasn't long before she located them and teleported. "That well...I'll admit I lost to Max this time, but all I was asking...was for you to abandon these people. Don't throw your life away girl. I know how you felt before joining, these people...only want you as another lacky for their sick game of 'take over the world' and you're falling for it.

Mediating on top of a hill that over looked Estolad the archangel’s ears started to twitch from the sound of screams and shouts of sorts. Opening both her eyes she noticed a few miles away that the village was being attack. Her angelic mind seemed to be programed to help those in need, standing up Ploay’s eyes glowed silver while she was still in her human form. Anger seemed to be surging through her veins, whoever was attacking the village was making the line of good and evil become unbalanced, there was too much evil and as an angel she needed to help stop it. Skidding down the mountain she came to the ground as winsomely as possible. The smell of raw blood filled her noise like it has been freshly spilled. Ploay hated when idiots tried to disturb the balance between good and evil, there were overly good groups people killing evil, and large groups of evil killing the good. Whoever tainted this balance was going to pay dearly with their lives. As she pulled out her air sword she whispered words that were in the angelic tongue, wind seemed to swirl around her sword as a form of an air element appeared. “I called you because I’m sure I’ll need your help.” Ploay said to the element in a cold emotionless tone.

Quickly, Ploay sprinted as fast as her feet could go into the village, but before she got there she saw people being lead from the village against their will, 15 black robed riders, a halfdrow whom was very annoying, another drow that seemed to be following her who was less annoying then the halfdrow, but what really caught her interest was the general, the same general who kidnaped her when she was weak. Now Ploay was really filled with anger, that coward of a general had the nerve to kidnap her while she was weak, but Ploay has gotten much stronger since then. Had the general not know that the girl he kidnaped, was an angel? It wasn’t a wise thing to do to kidnap an angel, then be so careless to have her escape so easily. If someone was to capture her, they had better kill her, or let her go free, if not she would take out her revenge. Angels were not to be kept as pets, and today the archangel would show that to the general.

It was going to be hard to get past those riders, so instead she ordered the air element to take care of them. A white aura surrounded her body as her eye glowed silver with hatred, changing into her angelic form. She then created a wind wall behind her, they were between two buildings so the only way out was to go the other way, or fly up. Other fighters seemed to be near them, and one women was talking to the halfdrow that looked like she knew her, but Ploay didn’t put too much thought into it. “First lesson general, never kidnap an angel, it only makes us more stronger from anger.” She put her sword back in its sheath, her sword wasn’t even good enough to touch the blood of the demon, besides she wanted to kill him with her bare hands not with a sword. After she said those few words she sprinted at the general, and used a whirlwind kick at his neck, making the winds push her leg to make the attack more damaging.

Vendaria was again shocked at the sudden appearance of the woman. The soldiers around her, including the Skragons, readied themselves for a fight. However, when Vendaria was told she was just another pawn in their sick game of world domination, it made her think. Was this truly what acceptance was? Just because you where given permission to kill did not mean you where accepted, and this woman was right.

"Halt!" Vendaria called, placing her hand in the air to call off the defense. The soldiers did as she commanded, and stayed on the borderlines. "Perhaps you are right, Draconian creature. Perhaps I really am just another drone in their game, but look what it has brought me? I am the commander of this small group of soldiers, never before has someone followed me on their own free will!" Rage consumed her as she spoke. Was she speaking to this woman, or was she talking to herself. She didn't know, but she continued to ramble on, as if to counseling herself. "Never! I was always the half this or half that, I never had a place to truly call home! It is not fair!"

The Soldiers began moving their swords, there lust to kill was almost to much. This woman's strength seemed immense, Vendaria was quite sure she would loose the battle even if she tried to defend herself. "Neither is it fair that I take these innocents prisoners, nor was it fair that I killed those soldiers back there!" She screamed. She turned her back towards the woman and faced her followers. "Drop your weapons, the attack is off!"

The soldiers, however, didn't agree...one of them tossed their spear towards Vendaria in anger, however it was not in the half-drow's range of vision...It hurtled towards her unsuspecting body with perfect precision...

Toal had seen the fires from quite a distance away. Another needless battle, I dought this village even hold any importance exept for travellers to have a quiet drink. he had quickened his place a little but not much. if he could help he wouldnt know where to beggin, helping the people or the fighters? As he walked in to the village his eyes met a haze of confusion. There was fire. Buildings burned and people screamed.

Toal ignored it all, he was just passing though, no need to kill From the look of things the Evil had started to run with loot and trophies. But it seemed not all wanted to leave. Toals eyes could just see a few people at the other end of the village just standing there. he stoped and thought for a while. "its not my busness, ill let them do what is to be done" he paused as somone screamed for help, "yes thats what ill do" and he moved off to answer to as many is needed.

((After this topic is over, I won't use the army anymore 'till I buy the guild. :sad bye: ))

Maximus blocked the spear that was coming at Vendaria and it bounced off his armor. He then turned to Vendaria and said: "You are NOT a pawn Vendaria. In fact, If you want to, you can be my second in command of the army! Look. I care about my allies and I don't want to lose someone of your power and strength. You have an awesome potential to be a great warrior, and I can show you the way." He then turned to Ploay who he realized was running at him. He drew his sword and waited for her, then slashed at her left arm.

" General, My lord the reinforcements from the fortress are here......" Mathuis rose from the flames out from the ground turing and looking at the arch angel ......." So the rumor is true. you do exist...." Mathius lowers his head slowly as if remembering something that was once good in life that happened long long ago.
Mathius took one last look at the angel and drew his axes. :banghead:

She glared at Maxi and Mathius, things weren't going the way they should be. "How many more people do you have to corrupt before you stop Max." She moved a slight amount of dark magic to her hands so she would be ready to use enervation. "Max is lying to you Vendaria, he just proved it himself 'don't want to lose someone of your power and strength.' you see? thats all he wants." She noticed the soldiers getting restless with their lust for blood. "I don't want to hurt you. I know that there are crule people in this world, the kind that will judge you for whats on the outside, but there is so much more good. Don't Throw that away." She held a hand out to her "Please Vendaria...Come with me. Let me show you."

Vendaria stared at her General for one last time, his words echoing in her head.

Don't want to lose someone of your power and strength...


However, the voice of the woman overpowered the echo, and slowly Vendaria came back to reality. "Max is lying to you Vendaria, he just proved it himself 'don't want to lose someone of your power and strength.' you see? Thats all he wants!" Vendaria clenched her fists, this woman was right. The General did indeed only recruit her because of her magical strength, and how foolish she was to play into it. She moved her hands in a complex fashion and whispered an unheard spell. Suddenly, 3 spirits appeared in a burst of grey smoke. They looked around, waiting for orders.

"Finish him..." Vendaria commanded, and the spirits did as commanded. They lunged for the General, prepared to fight. The half drow noticed the woman had her hand extended, "Come with me..." she said. Vendaria took the woman's hand, prepared to leave the General.

"Goodbye, General. If I stay with you, the only way your going to show me is the way to Hell!"

With Vendaria in her hand, the half-dragon started to walk off in the direction of Lomedor. "You made the right choice." She halted as the group of soldiers cut them off. "...Get out of our way." She snapped her fingers and a giant monster apeared out of a thick puff of smoke. "Get rid of them." The monster did as it was told, Striking all of them out of the way. She continued walking as the monster continued to do battle. "Lets go. Can't keep the people waiting." She smiled at the drow. Listening in on her thoughts.

Vendaria turned her head back towards the General as she continued to walk, she smiled as the general struggled to do battle with the spirits and the creature that this woman had summoned.

"Thank you, how foolish I was to have played into that game..." She said, turning her head towards the ground as she walked. "I never did get your name though, mine is Vendaria if you are interested."

For what seemed like forever she remained silent, raising her friends head from the ground she answered. "It wasn't your fault. The promises of evil can touch even the strongest." She thought for a while before finishing. "My name is Chrono. Pleasure to meet you Vendaria."

She finally had a name for this mysterious woman. The half drow would not forget Chrono, for she was the one to pull her back into the light.

"Do you think the General will come for me with his army of undead? Perhaps I should go into hiding for sometime until I become more skilled at battling..." Vendaria said. She wouldn't want to face an army on her own, especially at her current power level. How would she escape? Suddenly, she remembered Chrono and her teleportation and decided to ask how it was done. "How did you manage to just appear in front of me all those times, are you something other than half-dragon?"

Maximus watched the two walk away towards Lomedor. Just like that. He had lost a promising Ally, and he was furious. Rage started to boil inside him, and he exploded with rage. He killed the spirits and monster in less than a minute. After he did that, spikes that weren't there before sprouted all over his armor. The ground then started to rumble, and he was engulfed in an orange and Yellow flame. There was an explosion, blowing anyone that was near him back. When the dust settled, a different looking Maximus stood there. He had what looked like dragon wings on his helmet, his shoulders were broader, and he now stood 9' 1". When he spoke, the ground shook violently. "VENDARIA!!!! How DARE you do this! Treachery will NOT be tolerated!!" Maximus charged at them, with his sword drawn. His speed was greatly enhanced, and he attacked so fast, no one could see his blade. He slashed at Vendaria and Chrono with ferocious, powerful blows, not seeming to stop.


Please ignore this post, as it is completely against the rules of Arda and filled with more god-moding than should ever be allowed. You will all have to continue this topic without Maximus, as he has been suspended for 2 weeks. // Loth

"Vendaria Run! I'll handle this." She blocked one of maxes attacks and thrust her sword at him, missing by just a hair. Holy crap. He's fast. Thats ok, I'll still win. She moved to the left, just barly dodging another one of the attacks thrown at her. "Ok max, I've had enough of your ignorance. I'll send you to your grave." A strange wind started blowing in their direction, burning trees and melting rocks as it passed. "Vendaria get out of here, before the wind comes." She took a good look at max and got into a battle ready stance. "Lets see how you'll dodge my attacks while your flesh is burning in solar winds!" She summoned a meteor shower to fall upon maximus. Her hair starting to blow in the direction of the wind.

// >.<
--

Vendaria heard the explosion as Maximus went under a strange transformation. She turned aroudn at the sound of his bellowing threats,

"VENDARIA!!!! How DARE you do this! Treachery will NOT be tolerated!!""

...Vendaria's eyes grew wide as the large beast charged towards her, sword in hand. She was a very nimble drow, and had lightning reflexes. She did a side roll to the right, managing to dodge his flailing swords. Hoping Chromo teleported out of the way in time, she looked around for any sign of help. Seeing none, she decided that Chromo would have to face this alone.

"I shall do as you say!" She called out towards Chromo. Watching from the side-lines, a good distance away, she watched in anticipation as the two went into battle.

Ploay gave the new attack an uncaring look, she had better things to do then fight someone who wasn’t in charge of things. Taking a step back the archangel muttered something that sounded like, “you aren’t worth my time to fight.” Too fight someone would take way too much time, and that was time Ploay just didn’t have. And what rumors were going around about her? And if their were rumors, how did a demon know anything about an angel? Ploay had nothing to do with that race of demons, although the thought made her think a little, the underworld was unpleasant. Last time she was in the underworld, she almost didn’t leave alive. Spreading her wings she flew over to the two other women, Ploay was happy that Chrono could change the halfdrow’s ways, maybe that drow was smarter then she first thought.

Landing in front of them she extended one arm out, aiming her hand at the advancing demon. “Your foolish to ever think you could take control of a whole village, your out numbered, out strength, and out smarted.” Quietly she said a small prayer, and with that a gust of wind shot out from her hand and came at the general with enough speed to send him backwards. A sly smirk curled from her lips as if she was in pleasure of her attack. Ploay had hope that he would learn his lesson, and stop being so foolish. It wasn’t his power madness that got the archangel upset, it was his stupidity.
