LA7JOE: ~~Roll Call~~
LA7JOE: Joe Vaelen
JOESLAG: ERZ-1001
bmancarder: Edge Damon
LA7JOE: ~~Prologue~~
LA7JOE: [[Once reaching Edge's tribe, the team waited as Edge and his father
climbed a mountain]]
LA7JOE: [[After a violent battle a top the mountain between Edge and his
father, the two climbed back down and are now inside of their house, the team
has just reached the house and entered...]]
LA7JOE: ~~Begin SIM~~
LA7JOE: :::opens the door and walks inside::: Edge??
bmancarder: ::looks back:: Aye?
LA7JOE: ...:::looks at all the wounds and his father as well::: What the
hell...happened?!
bmancarder: My...final test
JOESLAG: Some test
LA7JOE: Dare I ask...what it was? :::looks the two over, seeing all the
blood:::
bmancarder: To make sure I was worthy. I had to defeat my race's best
warrior
LA7JOE: I see...:::looks over to his father:::
bmancarder: ::flops down on the floor, very tired::
LA7JOE: It looks like your gonna need some time to gain your strength
bmancarder: ::nods:: That I am
LA7JOE: Will your father be ok?
bmancarder: ::looks over:: Aye. He will need more time though
LA7JOE: :::nods, understanding:::
bmancarder: ::smiles a bit:: I was able to prove myself worthy
LA7JOE: Good to hear, so does that mean you're ready to fight Gallu?
bmancarder: Not quite. I lack one more part of my power
LA7JOE: I see
LA7JOE: Another one of those gems?
bmancarder: Once I have the final jewel, I shall be the most powerful
Nas-gumi and will be ready
bmancarder: Naz-gumi*
JOESLAG: And where are we suppose to find that gem?
LA7JOE: :::nods::: Do you have any idea/
LA7JOE: ?*
bmancarder: I thought it would be in the village
bmancarder: Perhaps the Elder has it
LA7JOE: Well that's simple enough then, just have to get it from him if
thats the case?
bmancarder: ::nods:: Most likely
JOESLAG: If he is here
LA7JOE: Sounds good...:::glaces back outside::: Well, we'll give you some
time to rest up then
LA7JOE: I'm going to head out and just check out your village a bit
JOESLAG: ::Goes back outside::
bmancarder: very well
LA7JOE: :::Turns around and exits the hut:::
JOESLAG: Well must have been some battle with his father though
LA7JOE: :::starts looking around:::
LA7JOE: Definitely, they're both torn up pretty bad
LA7JOE: :::walks deeper into the town, observing all the people and small
stands:::
LA7JOE: Nice little town though, real quiet, real peaceful
JOESLAG: Yes
LA7JOE: Not what I'm used to but oh well...
LA7JOE: :::Notices a very bright light shinning farther into the town:::
LA7JOE: Hmm, what's that?
LA7JOE: Do you see it ERZ?
JOESLAG: yes want to check it out>
LA7JOE: :::nods:::
LA7JOE: Let's get moving :::makes way toward it:::
JOESLAG: ::Follows::
LA7JOE: [[As Edge relaxes more and more he begins to see a small shinning
light at the top of the roof:::
LA7JOE: ]]*
bmancarder: hmmm.....::stands up, and inspects the light::
LA7JOE: [[THe light feels very warm]]
bmancarder: ::reaches out to the light::
MysticShadowMage: ((I have NO idea what you guys are doing... ^^))
LA7JOE: [[Its very comforting as his hand touches it, it continues to shine
brightly]]
LA7JOE: ((Well thats what happens when you miss like...5 SIMs))
bmancarder: What....is this....?
MysticShadowMage: ((Yeah, sorry about that... little thing called Life got
in the way ^_~))
LA7JOE: [[Edge notices all the cuts and blood on his hand had disappeared]]
bmancarder: Interesting
LA7JOE: ((Yeah cause we ALL don't have lives))
LA7JOE: [[The warm feeling of the light seems to almost draw him in closer]]
JOESLAG: Do you feel the power from that light?
bmancarder: ::tries to climb to the light::
LA7JOE: :::walks faster, growing closer to it::: It feels weird
MysticShadowMage: ((You don't work with kids from 8 in the morning untill
4:30... They're evil... So I don't get to hang out until the night... If you
simmed at like midnight, maybe... anyways, feel free to fill me in on what's
going on
LA7JOE: I can't explain it
MysticShadowMage: ))
JOESLAG: You think we should go and get edge or want me to go get him
LA7JOE: No...he's resting, lets keep moving
LA7JOE: ((We're in Edge's village))
MysticShadowMage: ((Doing...?)
LA7JOE: [[The light begins to expand where Edge is]]
LA7JOE: [[It becomes bigger in height and width, nearly filling the entire
roof now]]
bmancarder: ::half shades his eyes::
LA7JOE: ((Edge just fought his father as the final test before he can truly
challenge Gallu))
LA7JOE: [[Now as the light grows stronger its whiteness begins to fade,
revealing an image]]
MysticShadowMage: ((Yeah... I've missed to much.. anyways I can't stay...
Jackie's gunna be here soon and such... fill me in on stuff... Adieu!! ^_~))
JOESLAG: ((Oyyy))
LA7JOE: ((riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight, dumbass))
bmancarder: ::uncovers his eyes::
LA7JOE: [[Edge see three people standing before very broken up ground]]
LA7JOE: [[THe ground is riipped and tattered, chunks jumping up and around]]
LA7JOE: [[He can't make out the three of their faces, but can hear the
swirling winds and a faint voice]]
LA7JOE: {{Now is the time, you have no choice to make}}
LA7JOE: {{Bow your head, accept your fate. You've come so far don't
hesitate!!}}
LA7JOE: [[And then the image fades away along with the light]]
bmancarder: Wait
bmancarder: what was that
LA7JOE: Edge's Fatehr: The arrival grows nearer my son...
bmancarder: ::looks back:: Aye, I know
JOESLAG: Do you think this is safe Joe?
LA7JOE: EF: :::points to Edge's body::: Look son, healed...you are healed
LA7JOE: Not sure...
LA7JOE: :::starts to run towards the light:::
LA7JOE: But walking slow will get us no where!
JOESLAG: ::Want a boost
bmancarder: ::looks himself over:: Aye....I do not understand the voice
though
LA7JOE: :::shakes head::: Use my own legs
LA7JOE: EF: Perhaps it shows you, the future
JOESLAG: okay ::Moves faster toward the light::
bmancarder: :;nods:: Was my first thought
LA7JOE: EF: Perhaps the past...or merely a premonition
LA7JOE: EF: Troubling it is...yet the light still remains
bmancarder: The light faded
LA7JOE: EF: Aye, faded here...:::points to the window:::
LA7JOE: EF: But not...out there
bmancarder: ::moves to the window and looks out::
LA7JOE: EF: Go now son, I will heal, you must continue your journey now, the
winds beckon you
bmancarder: Aye, thank you Father
bmancarder: ::runs out of the hut and toward the light::
LA7JOE: :::Reaches the light:::
LA7JOE: Uhh...
JOESLAG: What the hell?
LA7JOE: :::Looks around::: Its a light in the middle of a field...
LA7JOE: there's nothing around it...the woods are a good 20 yards away...
LA7JOE: I don't understand
LA7JOE: :::reaches hand out and touches the warm light:::
JOESLAG: Maybe its something we don't understamd
bmancarder: ::activates his blue jewel and reaches the light::
JOESLAG: What the hell
LA7JOE: Its so warm...
LA7JOE: [[Suddenly, Joe's sword free's itself from its holder and levitates
in the air:::
LA7JOE: ]]**
LA7JOE: Okay...kinda weird
JOESLAG: Maybe thats the the last Gem
LA7JOE: [[Then as quickly as he left the holder it smashes itself down into
the ground below the light]]
LA7JOE: [[The light hits the sword in the center of its handle and reflects
the light into the town, shinning down on one of the huts]]
LA7JOE: :::turns back to Edge:::
LA7JOE: Elders Hut?
bmancarder: Yes
LA7JOE: :::nods::: Go get it then...
LA7JOE: :::stands there still looking quite shocked:::
bmancarder: ::turns and heads for the hut::
JOESLAG: This is strange
LA7JOE: It is...
LA7JOE: Are the Swords and the gems related in some manner?
LA7JOE: I don't understand
JOESLAG: only if you can talk to the elder
bmancarder: ::reaches the hut and walks into it::
LA7JOE: [[Inside the hut it is very dark]]
LA7JOE: [[The smell of incents fill the hut]]
bmancarder: hello?
LA7JOE: [[It appears as if the hut is empty, yet Edge can feel the presense
of something]]
bmancarder: ::narrows his eyes and looks around::
LA7JOE: [[And then he spots the old man sitting in a chair on the far end of
the hut]]
bmancarder: ::walks toward the old person::
LA7JOE: Elder: :::Coughs several times:::
LA7JOE: E: Damon
bmancarder: ::bows:: Elder
LA7JOE: E: :::coughs repeatedly::: Finished your final...test?
bmancarder: Aye, I have
LA7JOE: E: The Black Gem...is that what you want?
bmancarder: Aye, Elder
LA7JOE: E: Aware are you of what power it holds?
bmancarder: ......I think so
LA7JOE: E: Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I see :::Coughs more::: Sit child
bmancarder: ::sits cross-legged before the Elder::
LA7JOE: E: Lend me your ears
LA7JOE: E: The Black Gem...
LA7JOE: E: The most powerful Gem of all
LA7JOE: E: It rests
bmancarder: Rests?
LA7JOE: E: Aye, it sleeps eternally
LA7JOE: E: There is only one way to awaken the gem from its dark slumber
bmancarder: How?
LA7JOE: E: :::Smiles for a moment, igniting more of the incents:::
bmancarder: ::waits::
LA7JOE: E: The one way to awaken it, lies within you Damon
LA7JOE: E: :::points to his forehead:::
LA7JOE: E: :::moves hand closer to his forehead, a single claw extending:::
bmancarder: ::sits still::
LA7JOE: E: :::while speaking runs claw down his forehead::: Within your
blood
bmancarder: ::doesnt flinch::
LA7JOE: [[A small cut opens up, its blood dripping down edge's face
LA7JOE: ]]*
LA7JOE: E: In order to awaken the gem you must be mortally wounded
LA7JOE: E: Your blood must spill over the gem, but the wounds cannot be
afflicted upon you by your own hands
bmancarder: ::nods slowly::
LA7JOE: E: Someone must do it to you, perhaps...:::lights more incents::: A
companion
bmancarder: I see
LA7JOE: E: :::Nods::: The gem is located on the Tempest Islands
bmancarder: Ok
LA7JOE: You must travel east, to reach the islands
LA7JOE: E:*
bmancarder: I shall then
LA7JOE: E: Go now Damon, Gallu's arrival draws nearer
LA7JOE: E: Do not tell yoru companions of what must be done...not until that
time has come
bmancarder: ::stands, bows:: Aye
LA7JOE: E: :::nods and coughs again::: We believe in you
bmancarder: Thank you, Elder ::turns and walks out:;
LA7JOE: :::yanks sword out of the ground:::
LA7JOE: Jeeze, that was embedded in there
JOESLAG: well now what
JOESLAG: are we gonna do
LA7JOE: :::looks back to see Edge coming over:::
bmancarder: ::walks toward the others::
JOESLAG: well learn anything
bmancarder: Yes, we must head to the Tempest Islands
LA7JOE: Tempest Islands?
LA7JOE: Sounds like a TV show back where I come from
JOESLAG: (Shit)
LA7JOE: ((he'll be back, his AoL kicks him around often))
JOESLAG: Where are the Tempest Islands?
bmancarder: East
LA7JOE: I see...
bmancarder: Thats were the black jewel is
LA7JOE: [[The white light completely fades now]]
LA7JOE: Ah, so he didn't have it after all
bmancarder: No
LA7JOE: What did he tell you?
bmancarder: Where to find the jewel and that they believe in me
LA7JOE: :::nods::: Well thats comforting
JOESLAG: How long do you think it would take us to get there
LA7JOE: [[As the light fades the group notices the ground]]
bmancarder: Aye
bmancarder: Not sure
LA7JOE: [[The ground has grown black]]
JOESLAG: Uh oh
LA7JOE: Why is the ground black??
LA7JOE: :::Looks behind them, seeing that its spreading:::
bmancarder: Thats.....strange
JOESLAG: I think we should get out of here
LA7JOE: :::Still hodling sword, notices its glowing stronger:::
LA7JOE: Is this a sign?
LA7JOE: The black ground...Gallu arriving??
LA7JOE: :::Grips sword and then stabs it into the ground:::
LA7JOE: [[As soon as the sword is embedded into the ground, the blackness is
destroyed]]
JOESLAG: What in the world is going on?
LA7JOE: Let's go now...apparently the time is growing closer
LA7JOE: :::Yanks sword on, sheathing it:::
LA7JOE: Edge?
bmancarder: (Sorry)
bmancarder: Aye?
LA7JOE: WHere the hell are those Islands?
LA7JOE: [[Seconds after the sword leaves the ground, the blackness beginst o
reappaer]]
bmancarder: East
bmancarder: THats all I know
JOESLAG: we don't have much time
LA7JOE: :::Nods::: Lets go
LA7JOE: :::starts to run off::: The aircraft can take us there
JOESLAG: ::Follows::
bmancarder: ::runs with the others::
LA7JOE: [[The team starts to charge off towards the aircraft, preparing to
head towards the Tempest Islands]]
LA7JOE: [[As Gallu's arrival grows nearer the time for preparations begins
to fade away, they know now, they must prepare themselves both mentally and
physically before its too late...]]
LA7JOE: ~~End SIM~~
