Neo - August 25, 2006 08:00 PM (GMT)
Neo stared down at the village below him without really seeing it. All the people down there had no purpose whatsoever, nothing to amount to but a few chickens and maybe the occasionaly bar fight. Neo despised them, but they still had homes and family, friends, shelter. All Neo had was his own mind and that was more than enough to sustain him. For his mind was supirior to the rest the mortals belwo him, if only he could remember gow to use them. For it was in a battle long ago in a distant land that he had lost his memories, he had been fighting for the freedom of his people against Nemesis the dark psicich. And it had cost him his powers and his home. He had been banished to a realm where no one could help him regain his mental powers and his whole existance didn't look too inspiring at the moment, for without a way home he was at a loss. However he resigned himself to the worst and trudged down the hill towards the village, on the way there he stopped and looked back at the sky, all he remembered was his last strike against nemesis and then it was all blank.
"Nemesis" he muttered "I'll get you one day, by the oath of the psicich mind, I will find and destroy you"
He looked back down and wondered into the city, he avoided tredding on the muddier parts of the road and kept to the places with fewer people, all the same he attracted a few stares, his attire was entirely different than that of most people and his very skin seemed to give of the slightest of aura's almost completely invisible to the naked eye. He stopped and leaned against a wall, he felt something press into his back and reached up grabbing the handle of something, he pulled out a longsword from a scabbard on his back, it wasn't anything like a sword on this world but there were barely any peope round here. He looked at it and as he did a flash of memory appeared before him, a still picture of him wielding the sword charging towards a man in black armour surrounded by balls of light. Neo snapped out of this brief trance and looked at the inscription on the blade, he could discipher it no trouble.
Neo
This meant hardly anything to him though, but he supposed that must be his name. If he had anything to hold onto it had to be that, if he was to regain his lost life he would need the help of powerful friends, and he knew nobody here. He knew not their language, customs, foods, clothing, polotics, history, plans. Nothing. He was but a lost child in a world of wonder. He put his sword back in its scabbard staring around. He didn't like the looked people were giving him, he turned about and moved down an alley away from the crowds to meditate by himself undisturbed. He could however sense that someone was following him, he stopped halfway down the alley and turned about. Not knowing the language he did not know how to greet anybody in these parts but if they spoke first he should be able to work out what it meant. But when he turned about there was nobody there, either they were hiding or he was just nervous, traveling to a new world would certainly put his cation up to maximum, he didn't know what to expect of the people here, weather they were bloodthursty maniacs or just peaceful travelers. He backed up slightly looking around and keeping his ears pricked and his eyes wide open, his foot landed in a puddle behind him and he looked about, there was still nobody there. He straightened up, his mind was playing tricks on him, maybe some kind of after effects of the psi attack that sent him here. He turned about and walked out of the alley into the next street looking about he saw that nobody was around, the place was deserted. He could have sworn that the place was bustling and crowded when he'd looked through the alley. Something wasn't right, and two feeling were tugging at the back of Neo's mind, run or stay and find out and probably get killed. Well as far as he knew he'd never run from danger, he stood his ground and looked about waiting for something to happen, he'd have called out but he didn't know the language here. It may be the same as his own or it may be completely different, or there may be no language at all. Either way Neo didnt risk exsposing himself but his clothes and character had probably done that already. He looked up to the sky, he made it to be around noon, peopel wouldn't rush into their houses at noon without some kind of reason and Neo wasn;t going to move until he had one.
This is crazy he though to himself This place doesn't make one bit of sense, or maybe it would if I could remember who I was, but then that may not make much difference

Tanov - August 26, 2006 07:02 AM (GMT)
Tanov stood looking around her. In the form of an elf she easily saw around her but still had no clue as to what her real name was. She recalled the day the witch had come she only remembered what the witch had allowed her to. There was a man who was her master and she was loyal to him. He had insulted the witch and she was going to cast a spell on him but she begged her to spare his life. The witch had agreed but said that Tanov would have to take his punishment but for her valiance she would only get a minor punishment. Her curse was to wander a land she had never been in search of her real name. The name she had before she became Tanov. And with the loss of her name was the loss of her race. She became a shapeshifter called Tanov and cursed to ever wander this land called Arda untill she found her name.

She reached into her pocket and felt the reasurance of the spell that was given to her, when she found her name she was to read the spell to summon the witch, then tell the witch her name...But the scroll could only bee read when she knew her name. When the name was said the spell would be broken. She shook her head from the memories and saw a man who appeared lost. She walked behind him as he went into an ally. She changed her form shrinking two feet and her hair went from a golden hue to a deep blue. She followed him and he turned but did not appear to see her. He turned back and exited into a desolate side of town. She knew that Estolad was also known not just for its drinks but for this area of town, the area known to have been attacked by Gammon. Ever since then this place was known for its run down and dangerous inhabitants. She knew it was easy for her to escape, just go from small and frail to big and dangerous. But this man did not seem to have that knowledge yet. "Are you lost?" she asked as she finished her return to her human form, one she was most comfortable with. "If you are I may be able to help you."

The Blade Trinity - August 26, 2006 08:13 AM (GMT)
"And I am just wondering that too," said blade, as he walked out of the shadows from a near by building. he walked forward and looked at both people. both of them looked good but the man looked like he was a law. he asked him, "By any chance you the one who is a telopath? see, the reason why I ask is becuase I need someone with telepathic powers for the lone warriors, and from what it looks like, you are a good person and you are able to fit that role perfectly."

Neo - August 26, 2006 12:17 PM (GMT)
Neo continued to look about, if he could only remember how to use his powers he would instantly understand what was going on. He was on the verge of calling out when somebody did speak.
"Are you lost?"
Neo turned around, there was a human standing infront of him, young, female. But seemingly not what she seemed. However her language wasn't too distant from his own, and he was able to understand her, he hoped.

"If you are I may be able to help you."

Neo pondered the question for a moment wondering how to answer, his own style of speech was still different from hers, he was about to answer when another voice interupted him, this one male. He looked up.

"And I am just wondering that too," the man asked.
He looked vamparic, and Neo had only ever read about them in books. Mostly they were evil but the sun was high in the sky so this vampire didn't seem to be the dark variety otherwise he'd be burning on the spot.
"Well," Neo replied as best he could "depends on your definition of lost, I do not know this place so how could I be lost in it."
He turned back to the girl.
"And I would be grateful for any help I could get," he replied to her offer "thankyou."

"By any chance you the one who is a telopath?" The vampire asked "see, the reason why I ask is becuase I need someone with telepathic powers for the lone warriors, and from what it looks like, you are a good person and you are able to fit that role perfectly."
Neo's ears pricked at the remark, how in the ether could this man know he was a telepath, he came from an entirely different world right at the other end of the universe and this man knew he was telepathic. There was more going on here than Neo had first thought. He looked at the vampire sternly, he did not know who or what the lone warriors were, but he wasn't going under the command of someone who's mind was barely able to guess a number from 1-5 in someone's head. Instead he asked a question of his own.
"Who are you?" He said "and how do you know what I am?"

The Blade Trinity - August 26, 2006 04:48 PM (GMT)
"The name is Blade trinity. I actually didn't know if you were or not. I just thought that you were the one from what my sources say. And I just so happened to know what you are thinking about me. and no I am not evil aligned. I only knew that because I get it all the time. I was once evil be changed my ways of living. and started the Lone warriors." said Blade as he looked at the man and from what he saw, he was giving off a slight auroa.

Neo - August 26, 2006 05:04 PM (GMT)
"The name is Blade trinity. I actually didn't know if you were or not. I just thought that you were the one from what my sources say. And I just so happened to know what you are thinking about me. and no I am not evil aligned. I only knew that because I get it all the time. I was once evil be changed my ways of living. and started the Lone warriors."
Neo didn't even blink as he stared at the vampire, he had already guessed he was not of evil alignment, otherwise he'd be burning in the bright sun. But as for the rest of his infomation Neo was still full of questions.
"Sources? Do you have telepath's on this world? If so then they're not doing their duty, if you were once evil you'd have been destroyed by them," he said "but seeing as your not then it is not my duty to destroy you. And I am not interested in your offer whatsoever, your mind is weak. Sure you may have all the magic you want but that is no mach for what comes naturally. So if you don't mind I'm afraid I'll have to decline"
He didn't like to disapoint the vampire but that was what he'd always been taught. He had yet to discover the identity of the female and he didn;t know if asking here was different to his world.
Nemesis, I'll tear you limb from limb for what you've done he thought.

I don't doubt it, and I look foreward to it, hahahahahahaha

Neo suddenly glanced upwards, Nemesis had been able to read his thoughts and communicate with him from halfway across the universe. If he could do that then Neo would defiantly have to be at his best when he finally confronted him.
Well, if you can hear me Nemesis. I'm going to make you pay for what you've done, one way or another. I'll find you and restore balance to my world
He looked back down, if Nemesis heard that he would undoubtably be looking foreward to a good fight against Neo. So he'd have to be on guard, Nemesis' powers were almost limitless.

Tanov - August 26, 2006 08:56 PM (GMT)
Tanov watched the vampire approach and introduce himself "Sources? Do you have telepath's on this world? If so then they're not doing their duty, if you were once evil you'd have been destroyed by them," he said "but seeing as your not then it is not my duty to destroy you. And I am not interested in your offer whatsoever, your mind is weak. Sure you may have all the magic you want but that is no mach for what comes naturally. So if you don't mind I'm afraid I'll have to decline" She shook her head at the stranger. "I do not think we have very many telepaths here. But in refrence to minds, sometimes those with strong minds are weak. I believe the human term for this is...Dont judge a book by its cover. For I can tell you are one who has no clue where they are because your are not from this relm...or even this demension. But are on a journey to find and defeat someone." she walked around him once and then stood back where she was.

"But you have also lost something else in the prossess of comming to this land. You have lost who you are, you have no clue as to who you are and the only person who can help you is the person you are searching for." she smiled at him with knowing eyes. "I am called Tanov."she smiled

Neo - August 27, 2006 11:13 AM (GMT)
Neo turned his attention away from the vampire to the female to listen to her.
"I do not think we have very many telepaths here. But in refrence to minds, sometimes those with strong minds are weak. I believe the human term for this is...Dont judge a book by its cover. For I can tell you are one who has no clue where they are because your are not from this relm...or even this demension. But are on a journey to find and defeat someone."
The girl knew more than Neo had thought, either she was hiding some form of mind reading power, or was just a good guesser. But a pretty accurate one though. Neo kept his eye on her as she walked round him, as though examening him. Neo watched her till she was back to where she started.

"But you have also lost something else in the prossess of comming to this land. You have lost who you are, you have no clue as to who you are and the only person who can help you is the person you are searching for. I am called Tanov."

Neo didn't show his surprise at her knowledge of his predicament, but nonetheless he was still curious as to how she knew. But not wanting to be rude he didn't ask straight away.
"Well, Tanov, you are right," he said "I don't know how you knew but you seem to posess certain talent for it. I do come from another land, far across the universe from here. I don't expect I'll ever get back again."
He sat down on the ground cross legged and closed his eyes.
"The one whome I seek has defiled the laws of my kind," he explained "tipping the gentle balance of my world and turning it into a place of darkness and diseise. In my own attempts to stop him he threw me halfway across the universe and took from me who I was. As far as I know I am the last of my people to survive him"
He finished his story and opened his eyes, he stood up and looked back at Tanov.
"My apologies for my rudeness," he said "I am Neo, but I'm afraid that is all I know"

Tanov - August 27, 2006 11:51 PM (GMT)
Tanov looked away, not sure about something but then dismissed it and turned back. "Well, Tanov, you are right, I don't know how you knew but you seem to posess certain talent for it. I do come from another land, far across the universe from here. I don't expect I'll ever get back again." He sat down on the ground cross legged and closed his eyes. "The one whome I seek has defiled the laws of my kind, tipping the gentle balance of my world and turning it into a place of darkness and diseise. In my own attempts to stop him he threw me halfway across the universe and took from me who I was. As far as I know I am the last of my people to survive him" He stood up "My apologies for my rudeness, I am Neo, but I'm afraid that is all I know"

Tanov saw his confusion as she looked at him and seemed to think the vampire was also confused as well so she looked at them, "You seem confused about how I know your situation. I too am in a similar situaton as you Neo. A witch cast a spell on me because I took the punishment for someone I loved. He, I realize now he was evil and that I had made a mistake, but because I had loved him I offered to take the punishment so I was given amnesia and told the spell would be broken the second I learned my real name." she said and looked up. This area of town was desolate, no one lived there anymore, not since the invasion by the Dark Sociaty. It was a strange place for them to meet, especially like this.

Neo - August 28, 2006 03:20 PM (GMT)
"You seem confused about how I know your situation. I too am in a similar situaton as you Neo. A witch cast a spell on me because I took the punishment for someone I loved. He, I realize now he was evil and that I had made a mistake, but because I had loved him I offered to take the punishment so I was given amnesia and told the spell would be broken the second I learned my real name."
Neo turned to her, she'd lost her identity too, simply for standing up for the one she loved, even if he was evil. He felt somewhat disorientated, at least this meant he wasn't the only one who didn't know who he was. But he still coudn't help feeling pity. He tried to get rid of it, his teaching had tought him not to use his emotions for they cloud vision and cause you to do wrong because of what you feel. But he couldn't help not feeling it, he'd lost his identity as a price for trying to save his world and she'd lost hers protecting someone close to her, he was at a loss for what to say.
"Well," he said at last "if you would like help then I'd be willing to aid you. It may help to take my mind of recent events"


((Sorry short post))

The Blade Trinity - August 31, 2006 04:14 PM (GMT)
"And I shall come along as well. mainly for something to do and try meeting new friends." said blade "I Was once in both of your shoes but it came to me when i had been captured and taken hostage by a enchanted armor."
