Blade walked through the sandy beaches as he scoped for some new members for his guild. the lone warriors were once strong in force before where they were 100 or more strong. but now they were a guild of only 13 to 15 people. and that is not enough to try and destroy the evil in the world. so he thought that he could come to the beach and try finding someone who would be on vacation and would join the guild. he had gotten a room at the local pub and his panther stayed behind becuase it didn't like really big crowds. he looked around and said to himself not realizing that he said it out loud, "Come out come out were ever you are, I need someone for my guild."

Tanov flew over the beach, her white wings flapped hard to keep her airborne. She squaked as she glided over the sand and dunes. The seagull looked below her as she flew trying to find something she could not see. She gave a mental sigh and landed among the washed up seaweed on the shores of the beach, the cold ocean water moved over her feet as she walked. Maybe a swim will ease my mind and help me think. She flapped her wings and took off over the ocean. She decided she was far enough to take a dive and swooped towards the ocean water. Around twenty feet above the waves she began to transform. Suddenly the seagull's feet moved back towards its tail and it lengthened into a fin about three feet as her seagull body grew into a female torso and her wings extended into hands. Finally the feathers on her neck and top of the head flowed into long blue hair. Ten feet in the air the seagull had become a mermaid.

She extended her arms in front of her and hit the water. She finished by forming the gills on the side of her neck and her body finished rippling. She continued down and began flipping her fin gaining speed. A pod of dolphins seemed interested in this strange creature who turned from a seagull to a mermaid in a mere two minuets. They crowded around her and began doing flips asking her to play. She joined them but found her sorrow to still be there and the emptyness only filled by the rush of adrinaline flowing through her.

She surfaced and headded for shore as her tail began to split into two legs. She was about waist high when she finished and became a human once again. She looked and found a lone vampire on the shores, "Come out come out were ever you are, I need someone for my guild." he called. She took a deep breath her lungs filling with the air of the beach. "You are looking for a member of your guild?" she asked not quite getting what he had said because water was in her ears. She rubbed them as the water emptied.

Blade looked at the shoreline as he saw someone turn from a mermaid into a human. he thought hard about if he sould ask her to join his guild. even though it was almost dead, he might be able to get it it's former glory if he found more people. "Yes I am looking for someone for the lone warriors. before I say who I'm looking for, I would liek to introduce myself. My name is Blade, I am the master and founder of the Londe warriors. the eagle is soran, the fly dragon is morvak, and the two hawks are numbers 2 and 6. The person I am looking for is someone who is a shapeshifter, and a wanderer who would do things for the guild. like a messenger so to speak, do you know anyone that might fit that description?" said blade.

Tanov squeezed the bottom of her shirt getting the water out while she listened to him. "Yes I am looking for someone for the lone warriors. before I say who I'm looking for, I would liek to introduce myself. My name is Blade, I am the master and founder of the Londe warriors. the eagle is soran, the fly dragon is morvak, and the two hawks are numbers 2 and 6. The person I am looking for is someone who is a shapeshifter, and a wanderer who would do things for the guild. like a messenger so to speak, do you know anyone that might fit that description?" He said to her.

She smiled and shook her head, "Well before I introduce myself I must complement you on your observation and deducing skills. For in your description you matched me. I am Tanov. And yes I am a shapeshifter and a wonderer, but for a different reason then you might think." she smiled. She looked out towards the waves, the tide was comming in. She turned back to him and began to observe him as well. "And you sir, are a vampire who obviously likes being around animals and spends much of your time with them. And unlike other vampires you seem to be on the side of good, just how so I have yet to find out. And you also seem to be one who cares for others, seing how your animals always follow you and show a great liking to you." she told him. "But one must know about a guild before one joins." she finished, the wind blew her hair back a little and it gave her a slight shiver.

"Well before I introduce myself I must complement you on your observation and deducing skills. For in your description you matched me. I am Tanov. And yes I am a shapeshifter and a wonderer, but for a different reason then you might think." said the Tanov. as she looked to the ocean and back she continued, "And you sir, are a vampire who obviously likes being around animals and spends much of your time with them. And unlike other vampires you seem to be on the side of good, just how so I have yet to find out. And you also seem to be one who cares for others, seing how your animals always follow you and show a great liking to you." she told him. "But one must know about a guild before one joins." Blade thought that tanov was smart. so he had said, "Okay, that is fine with me. So if you want to start asking questions and I could start answering them. unless you want me to give a litle bit of history."

"Okay, that is fine with me. So if you want to start asking questions and I could start answering them. unless you want me to give a litle bit of history." The vampire seemed very pleased that she was so observant. She nodded her head at him, "I think history would be best right now sir. And I think we best head higher on the beach, the tide is comming in quickly." she said and took a few steps higher on the beach and turned waiting for Blade trinity and his animals to join her. She looked up, the sky was clearer than earlier so the overhanging clouds which threatened rain most likely were not going to drench them.

Blade nodded to Tanov as he started to walk up further to the beach. but he stopped as his eagle started to squawk at him. he turned around and saw his bodyguard coming towards him. it grunted telling him that there is someone dangerous around. "I suggest that we go into that beach house at the top of the dunes before someone sees me. I might of been followed here by someone. then I will tell you about the lone warriors." said Blade.

Tanov cocked her head curiously and gave a slight shrug at the vampires suggestion. She nodded and walked to the beach house. The sand felt good beneth her feet as it shifted under her weight. She walked swiftly looking around, Who would be after him she wondered and then realized that she had answered her own question, vampire slayers were obviously wandering the beach in search of prey, and he being a vampire would drasticly draw attention.

She reached for the knob and turned it. The door gave way with little effort and she walked in. She looked around and found the place to be empty. She closed her eyes and opened them, allowing the eyes of an elf to replace her own, the crystal blue eyes spotted nothing she blinked her magenta colored eyes had returned and she found a pair of chairs and sat down on one of them and waited for the vampire to sit down as well and begin.

Blade told the bodyguard to stand guard at the door that he had came through. when he went in, he saw that the person had sat down at a nearby table. he went to the other chair and then sat down.

When he sat down he said "Well, first off, the Lone warriors was started about 20 yaers ago. the first 15 years we had hundreds of people in the group. but the last five years was the worst years of the guilds history. everyday there was about 50 or more people murdered by mercenaries. Now we are down to the last 15 people of the guild, me included. I have been on endless searches to find anyone to come in and help get our guild back to former glory. and bring peace to arda again. we were originally a good guild. but now I had realized my mistake. I needed anyone from any alignment to come to the guild. Evil people to find out who killed our members, neutrals to "repay them" and the good people to make sure any other evil, besides the ones in our guild are put away. I thought that you would be able to help out and possibly move up in the ranks for the alignment you are in. Now any questions?"

Tanov sat patiently while he spoke to his body guard then joined her. "Well, first off, the Lone warriors was started about 20 yaers ago. the first 15 years we had hundreds of people in the group. but the last five years was the worst years of the guilds history. everyday there was about 50 or more people murdered by mercenaries.

I thought that you would be able to help out and possibly move up in the ranks for the alignment you are in. Now any questions?" Tanov looked down after listening to him. She thought hard about her past, sometimes she would get images of her past but none of them had told her her name. She closed her eyes and thought hard.

She looked up at him, sitting there waiting to see if she had any questions. She knew a little of her past, perhaps that would do for now. She nodded and smiled, "Perhaps I could join, I cannot do much but my shapeshifting allows me to get out of some pretty big problems. What do you do exactly when you find a mission to go on? How is that dealt with?" she asked.

"That is a long subject but I just try saying it this way. When there is a mission that finds its way to me, I figure out first which faction in the guild it should go to. then when I find out which faction it goes to, I gather the best members of that faction. and who ever best fits the mission, they are the one that is given the mission. But there is so many missions to be handed out to our members, that we need more people to join so that The members won't be so tired when they go on the mission they are assigned. And do you mean If I were to go on a mission what I would do to try and complete it?" said blade as there was a dull sound of the bodyguard's club hitting someone. but blade was calm about it.

Tanov watched the vampire closely as he spoke, "That is a long subject but I just try saying it this way. When there is a mission that finds its way to me, I figure out first which faction in the guild it should go to. then when I find out which faction it goes to, I gather the best members of that faction. and who ever best fits the mission, they are the one that is given the mission.

And do you mean If I were to go on a mission what I would do to try and complete it?" She shook her head, "No you answered it." she said as a thud was heard.

She turned to the door and saw the bodyguard still standing, she looked back at Blade. "You really do have a lot of people following you. Is it all because of your guild?" she asked with a quizzical look. She knew it was rare that people were hunted unless they had a bounty on their heads. And those people were always hiding not out in the open strolling on the beach. She wondered why he was hunted. She glanced over at the bodyguard standing there, she wondered how this vampire came to be wanted by so many people. "Your guild sounds interesting and it needs help that I could give, I am just not sure. After loosing both my memory and my race to a spell, I have many questions to ask myself. There is just so many things I do not know" she said

"No, not nessarily my guild, but what I changed. You see, Since I have been losing people, I have decided to open the guild up to everyone who would like to join. and any alignment as well. So people thought that we were only here to destory all that is evil in this world. But I realized taht once we did that, tehre would be no use for us and we would have to lave each other until evil arises again. so I decided to let everyone in becuase this way, there will always be something to do for the guild and this way I don't have to find everyone when something happens." said blade as he got up and saw who was figthing the bodyguard.

Tanov looked down at her hands as the vampire spoke. No, not nessarily my guild, but what I changed. You see, Since I have been losing people, I have decided to open the guild up to everyone who would like to join. and any alignment as well. So people thought that we were only here to destory all that is evil in this world.

He seemed so sure of himself as she did when she was on to something.

She closed her eyes in thought but opened them when she heard the chair move, she looked up at him, "Something is the matter?" she asked as she turned and looked in the direction he was. It sounded as if his body guard was fighting something or someone. "What is wrong?" she asked.

Blade stood in somewhat of a shock as tanov asked, "Something is the matter? What is wrong?" he quickly turned around and then had made sure taht all of his pets was in the room. he said "We need to go......now. I'll take you to the guild where I'll make sure your joined, if you want to, and then I can finish up there with explaining things there. or if you want, When we get tehre, I'll finish and then you can make a decision." he tehn rounded up his pets and then continued, "When Your ready, we'll go."

Tanov gripped her chair as she waited. Blade quickly looked around, she watched him make eye contact with each of his pets in turn. She bit her lower lip wondering what might happen, waiting for him to tell what was going on. [B][/B]"We need to go......now. I'll take you to the guild where I'll make sure your joined, if you want to, and then I can finish up there with explaining things there. or if you want, When we get tehre, I'll finish and then you can make a decision." he whispered sharply, warily at what might be on the other side of the door.

He quickly rounded up his pets and turned to her, "When Your ready, we'll go." he said. She looked towards the door, and finally decided on a form she might take if it came nessessary. She turned towards him and nodded, moving silently from her chair and edged her way towards where Blade was standing and nodded, "Lets go" she whispered very quietly. She hoped that whoever was on the other side would not get in anytime soon and let them have a few moments head start.

"just to make sure that we won't be able to be seen... my panther will help you out." said blade. he silently said a spell and the room filled with smoke. he told tanov, "Go to the back door, there one of my other partners will be waiting for you and me to take off." he then shuffled off to the back door quickly while his panther stayed behind to help tanov outside.

(once My other character posts and you post, we'll head over to the guild. which is the lone warriors. I'll start a topic in the office.)
