It Became Reality...

ooc: Oh my god! I completely forgot about this XD. Everyone's probably forgot about me by now, ah well. Long post incoming!

Alex
As everyone left the Chapel on their own ways, some to the Mages Guild, others to the fighters guild, and some off to do things unsaid. Alex was among the latter, he thought that joining a Guild immediately after dropping into a world they knew little about was formidably a bad idea, as well as talk of becoming heroes and defeating Dagon's cult, the Mythic Dawn. Slowly, the teen wandered across the streets of Chorrol, hands in his robe pockets and hood hugging the back of his head loosely. He figured he'd understand his predicament first, try and get a job and then delve into this hero business.

On his way past the Grey Mare, Alex spotted an old imperial debating with a Chorrol Guard. As he drew closer to the pair, he heard their argument more clearer. The imperial was Valus Odiil, the owner of a farm outside Chorrol whom had two sons, Antus and Rallus. This was one of the quests in the game, and while Valus had that useful Chillrend sword, Alex figured he could turn the tables a bit and take advantage of the situation. He approached the two men and flicked back his hood casually, making sure that his collar covered up his headphones and put on a concerned expression as Valus and the Guard bickered.

''Look, I can't take a brigade of guards outside the city protect your farm based on myth.''

''Myth? There are goblins out there! They've been ransacking my farm for weeks on end!''

''Goblins?'' Alex inquired, making his voice sound deeper to give himself an older appearance. Valus looked at him with a baffled look, wondering who this new person was what they wanted. The boy returned the look with a sympathizing expression. ''Thank the Nine I'm not the only one...'' Alex murmured, frowning slightly before looking downwards.

''What do you mean?'' The guard asked, taking a step towards Alexander, crossing his arms and looked rather disbelieving. Alex responded with a simple shrug. ''I've noticed an increase of goblins near Chorrol, I'm.... from Anvil, I came here searching for a job. On my way here I was attacked by goblins, they made off with most of my clothes, my gold. Hell, they even took my shoes...'' He gestured down to his bare feet and sighed before continuing, ''I barely escaped with my life. I fear I may have to resort to the life of beggary if I can't pick myself up from this mess.''

He lied, knowing full well the consequences if the guard saw it or still decided to do nothing. Alex was just trying to do this for the greater good, that and he took a liking of the retired ex-adventurer-veteran, although found Antus incredibly annoying. Before the armored imperial could respond, Alex took his reasoning one step further and addresses Valus with polite nod. ''You sell and trade you crop and produce to Chorrols local merchants and shops, right?''

Valus' wrinkled features shot up brightly as he realized where Alex was going and nodded. The teenager then looked back at the guard, keeping a formal yet worrisome expression on his face. ''If he is unable to get his goods to Chorrol, what would happen it's economy? What would the goblins strike next after the farm is burnt to the ground? The Priory? The Stables? Those green-skins may be stupid, but where there's one, there's a hundred of them.'' Frowning mentally at himself for using a Dawn of war quote, Alex studied over the Guard as the man thought over the kids story.

Finally, he sighed and let his shoulders sag. ''Alright, you have a point. Odiil Farm isn't technically part of Chorrol, but you're right. They do sell a lot of crops to the merchants. I'll try and convince the captain, no promises though...'' The imperial said, muttering a good portion of his statement before brushing past Alex and making his way towards the guard barracks, his metal boots echoing throughout the area as he walked with a clank-clank sound after each step.

Alexander watched the guard leave, smiling slightly at his own success. He hoped the captain would help, hopefully see the pros and cons of the situation and figure the benefits outweighed the risks. One could only hope. He then glanced back at Valus, who seemed equally as happy.
''Thank you.'' He said, smiling happily that someone finally decided to help him. ''Hopefully now the Guard will see that the people outside the walls are just as important as the people inside.'' Valus muttered, letting out a sigh of relief.

''I'm been in this type of situation a lot, it's my pleasure to help. I only hope the guards act soon.'' Alex commented, crossing his arms with his gaze still set on the guards tracks towards the barracks. In his time playing Oblivion on his PC, he found that the town Guard were rather unreliable and overall a very jerky bunch. Still, he managed to convince one of them, maybe this was a sign of good change. The old imperial farmer nodded and reached down to his belt, untying a small leather sack and handing it to Alex. ''here, take this. It's not much but it's the east I can do for your help. I... I need a drink to calm my nerves. Good day...''

Without leaving room for Alex to say anything, Valus left for the Grey Mare hastily before he knew it, the boy was once more by himself in the middle of the street with a rather hefty bag of way he assumed was gold in his hands. Maybe this wouldn't be so hard after all.

Flo

Suddenly the destruction teacher walked up to Alberic. They talked a bit and then they both went away into another room. Alberic didn’t look very happy.
Huh, what are they doing? I looked to Ayrton and Martin who didn’t have a clue, either, but Martin was walking in Romeo’s and my direction.

I walked up to him:
“Hey, do you know what the hell they are doing? Did our teacher do something wrong? That can’t be possible, because he was told by that other teacher to teach us... and that’s what he did.
Well, maybe they just want to start an exam to test if we can join... Anyway, do you know what they’re doing there?” My voice sounded very upset, so I tried to calm down.
I stood next to Martin and tried to think of something different, just like Alberic tought us. Think of something different... hey, I wonder how my familie’s doing. Maybe when we find out how to get back, we’ll be able to arrive just when we left, so no one will ever know we’ve been gone. Maybe I’ll stay here, it’s a beautiful world—it will be beautiful after the invasion is over... No, screw that, I mustn’t think of this now, it doesn’t really help me to feel better. Maybe... no, [censored] it, I can’t think of anything nice now.

OOC: ill commence to the next stage.
OOC2: Over a few days ill post up the small meeting and the task that may lie ahead.

Romeo

While Romeo finally casted a dagger that lasted 20 seconds in his hands while doing mathematical equations Martin approached him with a slight concerned gaze.

"What is it?" Romeo asked
Martin bended slightly to him;” You saw the woman in the black dress?"
"With the cool looking flames?"
"Yes her” saying softly “I don't know what we said but we just pointed at her, she came to us, asked a few words and disappeared right away."
“So?”
“She gave a small nod to Alberic and came with her to a room”
“So?”
“He walked to that room as he was about to get beaten”
“That’s odd”.

First Romeo didn’t believed him, after Martin convinced him of his story Romeo erased the conjuration and equations out of his memory and begins to think.
“Lets see, we got some lessons, you burned your hands in a record time to 3rd degree and luckly got healed
"And we just practised further." Martin jumped in.
Romeo looked to the floor and noticed his shoes.

“It could be our clothes/shoes”
Martin shrugged, especially your shoes, they are eh… big.
Romeo looked down again.
“There not big… There just ehhh medium sized.”.

“It might be the clothes that are a dead giveaway. At least you have a monk robe on.. Hmm 2 sizes to big?”
“no no just medium sized….” Martin replied quickly.
“Someone of her rank could travel a lot and never seen this type of clothes.”
“Your clothes” Martin corrected. "She came to us first you know."

Both thoughts were interrupted by an horn.
A mage in “medium sized”green robes passed by with a big smile on his face.
Dinner! Are you guys coming to? With much anticipation.
Romeo: "I suppose we do"

After dinner the message came. All 4 new-mages are commenced to report to Alberic.

Romeo

The 4 recruits were asked by “Alberic to come to the meeting room after dinner.
Once in the room Romeo noticed the room was wll-ventilated and have a nice atmosphere in colours and light. Left and right burned a few torches on the wall. Between the torcher hanged the typical magesguild banners. In the middle of the room there are 2 tables, 1 small high one that stood against a somewhat lower and wider table.

After everyone sat down and waited what is coming next the 2 mages came in and took there Seats.
There was a total silence as a silent before the storm.
“Since you 4 strangers don’t know me I will introduce myself”with a pride high voice.
“My name is Terach Matja, I am an expert in destruction magic and ranked semi-council.”

“You have been called to this very room because the recruiting isn’t going following the rules. However some of you do not even wear clothes I have not seen all over cyrodil.
Almost all people who joined the mages guild knows me. It’s a surprise you didn’t knew me, at least in cyrodilic circles
I even question if you lived in the cyrodilic province. Let that be just a small mistake on my side.
Luckly your age and behaviour tells me you are likely not criminals. So I have a proposal for all of you.”

Secondly there is no medium of exchange given for the lessons you took. This could be scrolls, potions, ingredients or septims itself. To cross of these points you will pay them up now with the medium of exchange or do a task for me.

After that your debts are owed and you can enjoy the qualities of this guild, at least in cyrodilic borders.

OOC: I"ll post up the small exam so you guys can begin to write a story.
After this event someone else could take up the steer.

OCC2: Does everybody agree with this story????

Ayrton

After the meeting I decided to hold a meeting of our own and gathered up our little "group".
"Alright," I start "We obviously have an issue, but how are we going to handle it? I think we should probably just go along with their idea of going and doing tasks for them. If we try to run or hide, they'll probably find us anyway, also on a slightly more personal matter, I will try and stay because I have always wanted to try magic to be honest. So what are your guys thoughts? Should we stay? Or run and have our names posted on every tree within several leagues."
Really we don't have much choice. Not much anyway, that would makes sense. So, lets have our little vote for now.

Oke lets begin the ride

Romeo

There he stood, outside the room a bit astound how good they came off. Just a simple task. Gather some ingredients in a weird cave near chorrol.
"doesn't look that bad".
Ayrton looked like he needed a small talk. And indeed he noded when Romeo looked each other in the eye.

"Alright," He start "We obviously have an issue, but how are we going to handle it? I think we should probably just go along with their idea of going and doing tasks for them. If we try to run or hide, they'll probably find us anyway, also on a slightly more personal matter, I will try and stay because I have always wanted to try magic to be honest. So what are your guys thoughts? Should we stay? Or run and have our names posted on every tree within several leagues."
Really we don't have much choice. Not much anyway, that would makes sense. So, lets have our little vote for now.

"Well looking at the task that lay ahead it isn't that bad... We have to walk about 18 miles (5-6 hours walk)south gather some ingredients at a nearby cave and then head back. Couldn't be very bad if we stick togheter and stay off the roads for ambushing bandits. "

"The forest could hold many dangers": Ayrton replied;
"Agreed, but at least we can eat that" Romeo grinned.
"except if it is a tree hugger"
Romeo raised an eyebrow
"You know those female wooden creatures.... What do they call it ingame "Spriggans"?
"Ah yes, those creatures could pose a threat to us".

Oke, get a good night sleep in here. In the morning i will check if i can rent/borrow some equipment of the fighter's guild.
Once we are equipped we shall head off in the morning?

Ayrton

(Transition to night time, aprox 10'o clock. sleeping quarters)
I look around the familiar yet odd sleeping quarters again. You know what, it's kind of odd to think that this is one of the places I used to come when i had stolen items and a bounty on my head.
i can't believe that we are about to go raid a goblin cave with little to no items. sure we have our level 0.5 magic but what the hell? Hah, lets just start applying levels to things now.

"Screw it. I won't be able to sleep much tonight. It doesn't matter, I run fine on little sleep." I push my self off of my bed and head towards the door of the guild. It's odd that there's no one on patrol or anything.
I push on the doors and head out. I take a deep breath, the air smells so much cleaner than back on earth. Our situation isn't too bad. I push forward through the night towards the main gate. Hah, stealing away in the night. I can't help but wonder how everyone is. As much as we might not like it, we're still under the control of the guild now.
"Huh. When the hell did I get here?" I look up at the large gates. One of my biggest problems is I tend to try to avoid reality by daydreaming my way through it, and now that can cost me my life.
I think quickly. The doors will creak a lot when I try to open them... can I use magic to avoid that?
I focus hard on the thought of a golden bubble surrounding the gates. A bird sings a beautiful sad song in the distance. Focus! The bubble. Something clicks behind me. The BUBBLE!
Christ it's hard to keep concentration like this. I set my feet shoulder distance apart.
Focus! I Bring my hands in sharply, clapping them together and folding my index fingers over. I feel my will creating a bubble of silence around the gates. Now!
I walk slowly towards the gates and push on them. not a sound escapes. I create just large enough a hole for me to leave. I slip out and press shut the door.
Hah! I begin to breath heavily, sweat stands on my forehead. "That wasn't easy." I say happily.
I look around, a beautiful scene that a graphics card just can't create appears before my eyes. I see the unfolding landscape of cyrodill under the light of the great moon.
I breath slowly and quietly. This might be the last calm time I get for a while, might as well take it in.
I walk away from the road to a more open area, its not easy to get lost in a place you've been to literally thousands of times before.
Ha... I exhale.
"Isn't this an odd time to be taking a walk?" a girl's voice breaks the silence.
I turn sharply,drawing in my will. Standing behind me was a girl in a plain woolen dress with long brown hair and great emerald eyes.
I do not unclench my will, though I do relax a little.
"I felt like coming to see the view under the moon. I'm a night owl, so I felt the urge to come." I say, I am and always will be a night owl.
The girl smile beautifully. "Is it not dangerous to come out at this time of night?"
There's something odd here. "Though I could say the same to you, I will not for is it not worth the danger for this sight?" I gesture towards the beautiful landscape before us. If something is going to happen, it's going to happen within the next 20 or so seconds.
The girl giggles like bells, "It is indeed beautiful."
...
...
I guess, nothing will happen. I feel a little llet down, she could have at least been a succubus or something.
"So why are you out here?" I ask as I walk up beside her.
"Probably the same reason as you. Just to see the sights."
I sit down and stretch out my legs. "Then would you like to sit?"
The girl giggles again and sits next to me, drawing her legs to her chest. She has a small chest and very little scarring or anything on her arms.
"Are you from town?" I ask.
"No, I live out a litttle south of here on a small farmstead. Was there such a place?
"Oh?"
"Sometimes, though, I do come into town for some lessons in magic, apparently I was born with a good proficiency for it." Ironic!
We sat in silence for a while, though neither of us felt the need for much talking.
"I should probably get back." She says standing up, I do the same.
"Probably," I say, "Ah, What's your name first?"
"Arianae and yours?"
"Ayrton, my name is Ayrton."
She smiles, "Well then Ayrton, I hope to see eachother soon."
"I hope so as well, good night."
"Good night." And she walks away, though she does look back once and smiles.
I start to walk back to town but stub my toe. Damn, I was in such a good mood too.
I look down and see charred ground where a small black point about the size of my foot is protruding from the ground. I grow very serious.
This is it.
...
...
This is the start... of Oblivion...

Romeo

Romeo stood up when the sun waked him up slowly.
“Ah a fresh day, I might as well check the fighter’s guild then, see if I can get some equipment” Romeo thought. First he pulled a green mages robe out of the closet and wear it over his “Earthly clothes”.

While walking downstairs he grapped some fruit for his morning breakfast.
Once he entered the fighters guild the guard recognized him and send Romeo to Vilena Donton.
While arriving at her room she just finished her thea and had a letter in front of her.
“Good morning, Romeo. I just received a letter from the imperial legion. It concludes you did not committed any criminal acts". she said with a relieved voice
"You are now welcome to the fighters guild.”

Romeo was a bit overwhelmed. “Well thats fast”.

Yes, it is. If you are interested in a contract talk to Modryn Oreyn . If you want some lessons talk to Kurz gro-Baroth. “He is quiet handy with an axe and a bow.” While having a small grin on her face
Romeo nodded when she was finished.
“If you have no other questions, you are dismissed.”

While walking down, Romeo thought back where the armor is stacked up. "Of course it is near the smith, where else would it be stored.”

When he entered the basemant, Romeo noticed the smith talking to an orc, once they are done discussing the smith noticed Romeo.

“Excellent! Ah victim Cough Cough, volunteer I mean.”
“You there, could you dress yourself with that armor? ” While pointing towards the steel armor that laid on a wooden table. We need to look if it "fits well and perform" enough.
Romeo a bit confused if he really heared victim, just did what was told.
“What else could go wrong?” he mumbled
When he tied up all the leather cords he noticed most pieces fitted good around his limbs. Only the chest is a bit wide, but that could also be on purpose to give the owner some more breathing room.

“Oke could you stand near that wooden block?", while pointing to the other side of the room.
“Yes there, just stand still. Oh be sure you wear that helmet”.

“What are you guys planning?”

“Oh Kurz thinks he can pierce that armor with his bow, But I said that it is impossible. Its a small bet”

“And I should trust that you are right?! while being in half panic mode, the the orc picked up a bow and layed an arrow on it.”
“I am always right” The smith replied.

The orc looked up. “You won’t die from one arrow. And we have a healing potion at hand if things could go wrong.”
“I’ll stick to my healing spells then”.
Romeo stood there in shock what would happen if things went wrong while the orc pulled the arrow back.
As a reflex he hold his hands before his face and felt a hard hit through upper leg.
From pain he sunk down to the floor, on the ground he holded up his vizier to look what the damage was.
The arrow was stuck fiercly into the steel armor but luckly only a fraction just reached the skin of romeo. The point by the arrow now stinged in Romeo's leg.

“Lets hold that to a tie. It can protect the wearer, but not that good"
“Hmmm I should perfect my cokes more before crafting steel armor”
“It might get harder that way.”

“So how can I help you?” the smith said with her hard voice
“I was just looking for some armor” While Romeo stripped his armor and cast a couple of healing spells.
“I presume leather”
“Yes please”
“Ha I knew you would take that, seeing how clumsy you walked in that steel carcass.”
“Let me see this would be a nice set for you. While holding the leather armor against the chest of Romeo”.

If you need some weapons check out rack near the anvil.
“Oke”

There were several racks near the fire place. Each rack hold its own type of weapon with a lot of different sizes in it.
There Romeo chooses his bow, 1 dagger and a short steel sword.
Near the rack of bows he found empty quivers with arrows stacked next to it.
“hmm how much should i take?”
“25 will defiantly do” as he took some of sharp broad arrowheads, “and a few joint arrows for small game will also do.”
In the drawer next to the quiver he found some wrist guards and leather gloves meant for the bows.

Are you going to hunt? The smith asked as Romeo armed himself.
“Ehh yes, he stammered a bit”. “Good, if you could coop it, could you also bring up some rabbits, I haven’t tasted them for a while”

“Let me arrange a backpack for that.” He in a hurry
Out of the storage he holded up a canvas bag that looked quite robust. “its water proof and will not get broken that easily. You can have that if you bring me just those tasty rabbits”.

“Wow, thank you”.

"Bye the way could I have a 2nd set of leather armor for a friend of mine?" Romeo asked
“Is he a member of the Fighter’s guild?”
“No not quite”.
“then I can’t really give that to him. On the other hand, if you bring me 20 rabbits I may lend it out";while making rounds with his toung touching his lips.”
“Oke that’s a deal, I guess." He said while wondering how in hell he have to catch all those rabbits”.
“If I am going to give him all those rabbits, those creatures will be put on the almost extinction list” Romeo thought. "Or he will have a dieet of rabbits the months after that".

With the whole package he move towards the mages guild and start prepping a 2nd bag for arython. in the dining area. He borrowed the bag of a student in exchange for some ingredients for him. To remember al the stuff the student put it down on a paper. He managed to plunder the old attic in the guildhall and found a canvas that still looked waterproof and could function as a tent. And some rope, “you never know where it may come in handy” He thought
By the time he had everything ready it was almost midday when he noticed the sun.
“Oke backpacked and all, now where is Ayrton???” Romeo thought as he looked around for him.

Romeo & Ayrton

"Get up!" Romeo yelled at Ayrton.
"Yah!" Ayrton jumped out of bed onto the floor. "Owowowow.... What the hell?"
"We have to go! Come on get your stuff, its downstairs in the bags."
Once they stocked up some food from the dining hall, the duo headed out towards the cave that had to be 30 miles south from Chorrol. Romeo was the oldest of the 2 so he carried a bit more stuff . With all the stuff packed Romeo walked a bit as he thought about comedian George Carlin and stuff.
“Actually we should have learned feather…. “ Romeo suggested
“I have food, my chest armor, a bow, 30 arrow’s, a dagger with me and overall it is not that light…
Ayrton grinned at the comment ”Well at least you don’t have your rabbit quotem.
Or matches that have to be kept dry, as he created a spark in his hands.”
As the 2 joked Romeo came up on the idea to train some conjuration on the way. “That’s what I did in oblivion. Holding the casting button while walking around so the attribute got maxed out.” From that moment every now and then you heard a conjured dagger falling into the ground as Romeo tried to recast it. “Bleh, those daggers are now quite boring. I have to keep remember them tho."
“How about you tried a conjure creature?” Ayrton suggested.
“Eh, is that sensible?” Romeo questioned back.
“It is in your control right?”
“Theoretically yes”
“Could you try it? A skeleton is the most cheapest spell I could think off in conjuration”
“Okay, here it goes”
Romeo repeated the steps that is learned instead of a dagger a skeleton is formed.
While the dark gaseous clouds took shape Romeo noticed something unusual about the skeleton and his jaw fell wide open.
“It's missing something…..”
“You mean the head?” Ayrton suggested.
“Sort off...” Romeo replied.
Romeo managed to cast a skeleton only not in the shape he suspected.
Also instead of handling an iron sword, it now wields a sort of massive bone sword that is molded with his hands.
“I don’t know what to say" Ayrton said mockingly, “An abomination or an awesome looking dangerous beheaded skeleton... I wonder if it can walk...”Ayrton mused as the duo stopped walking and observed the creature.

Romeo shifting his weights.
“I am not sure, why not giving it a push?” He said with a small grin,
“three times pushing and it will run after us with his sword swinging? No thanks….” Ayrton scoffed back.
The 2 continued hiking towards the cave, the skeleton that stood there in silence followed the duo but kept its distance, while making the typical wailing and gnashing sounds as it followed the duo.
“Romeo, do you know the ice-bear complex?” Ayrton asked.
“What’s that?”
“Well a scientist told to people not to think about ice bears, and they did the opposite from what was asked”
“And you have not to think about the skeleton and it disappears, right?”
“yes”
“but that dead headless skeleton is following us”
“yes”
“Do you think about the skeleton right now?”
“Yes, I try to forget that awesome creature, somehow it is not working” He teased back.
“Well," Ayrton suggested, "How about you try to cast a dagger and then look if it disappears?"
“That might do the trick." Romeo concentrated on the dagger again, looked around and saw the skeleton disappearing.
“Finally, the dead is not stalking us” he sighed.
"Hey, last night I met someone... Her house is in this direction and I don't remember it in the game. Wanna Check it out?" Ayrton said rubbing at the back of his neck.
"I guess, it could gives us a place to set this down." Romeo joked shifting his back pack. "Lets go then."

Romeo

While Romeo and Arython moved towards the house; Romeo was deciding to stay with Aryton or move out alone and have the whole thing done.
Finnaly he came to a decision.
“You know why don’t you just drop by at your freshly aquired girlfriend, ill get the ingredients and maybe be back in the night. I’ll knock on the door a lot of times if that happens otherwise I see you in the guildhall.”
“If we just stop by say hi and spend another night that means we have not that much time left to stay in the mages guild”.

“Good bye Aryton”.

The 2 splitted up at the hedge of the farm. While he handed over the rope and a torch.
“Good luck, don’t wave to the green monsters; Aryton joked.
Romeo moved around the farm while Aryton approached the farmhouse itself with some nervous handeling.
“I guess that’s his first girl” He thought.
Romeo looked on his piece of parchment he copied of a map that was found in the mages guild. “It is not far away anymore, just a few more kilometres and I am there. While looking up in the blue sky he knew he haven’t got much time left. The duo hiked a lot and so the sun was slowly shading away.
“Guess its around 4 our clock. Or i have to walk in the woods back or camping in the wilderness.” Both of the options is not in Romeo’s favour. “lets just get this over with”.
To his luck he found the cave that fits in his landmarks and position.
The cave looked like it was washed out by water and then the river suddenly dried up or changed course witch revealed the cave. Time had put his marks on the stones of the cave what crumbled somewhat here and there.
“Well no green monsters or other beasts up here.” He mumbled.
Then he was a bit paranoid; all the time he had to slay down, goblins, daedra, bears, wolfes, bandits and other spouce ingame, but here he have not even stumbled against one angry rat. “Well going in a cave is the most certain aspect of encountering rats”

First he had to make a fire… “And to bad I have not learned how to create fire”. Romeo was a bit sorry he left Aryton, but as he thought; once this is done he could do whatever he wants, same thing applies for Aryton.
First he tried to create a fire ball. The most optimum he got was a red face and a cold hand.

With cursing words mumbeling about “Fire magic my ***** while” scrapping wood didn’t helped him very far. After a while his hands got slight blisters and didn’t had even a fire going.
After a slight defeat he healed himself while observing the cave again.“At least that is easy to do.”
While observing the cave he noticed the stone was grey and had some hard sharp rocks laying on the ground. “This is no usual stone! It’s a fire stone!
After finding some suitable stones he took out the iron dagger and stroke it past the sheath.
A spark came off and a moment later he was bussy creating more sparks. Once the fire was burning; he cursed himself why he haven’t learned fire magic and blessed himself that he was awake during chemistry lessons.


Once the fire was going Romeo decided it was better to check out the cave before even closing his eyes. “If this is a goblin cave the last thing I want is being served as a breakfast snack”
With a torch and dagger in both hands he entered the cave slowly but steady. Listening to every sound he heared.

Ayrton
OOC: Sorry guys, I had gotten a file that was a virus and managed to wipe out over 50,000 files on my comp :( BUT! I am back on-line now!

I walked slowly up to the house and shivered shortly after Romeo left. "Ah, I get the feeling that he just said something like 'This must be his first...'... This seems really accurate..."
The house, or rather cottage, seems fair enough. Actually, it really suits my tastes. A simple house out in the bush near enough to town that it isn't a hassle, but far enough away to not be disturbed by the town people. Ha, the only downside is the lack of internet.
I finally walk up to the wooden door and knock on it. There's a loud pounding sound created on it, louder than I intended anyway.
"Who comes out here at this time?" I hear inside.
"Probably one of her friends." A man's voice.
"I'll go get the door." Ah, that's the girl from last night!
"Alright. Just be quick!"
There's a quick tapping of feet on wood before the door opens... Towards me.
"OW!" I yell as the door smashes into my face. I jump up and put my hands on my face. Healing should be similar to fire... I guess. Lets see... Imagine and focus on the cuts healing. A trickle of blood fell from my forehead. There! I slowly heal the cit on my forehead.
"Magic!" I hear the girl gasp.
"Don't gasp as if it's new to you!" I sigh exasperatingly.
"Aryton?" She asks, obviously confused. She puts her hand to her chin. She's wearing another plain woolen dress. This one seems more comfortable though.
"It's Ayrton..." Ugh... Why can very little amounts of people remember my name?
"What are you doing here?"
"Me and my friend had an errand to run that past this place, I thought I might as well say hi..." I droop my shoulders. I already told her this didn't I?
"Ah, would you like to come in? We are just about to have some dinner."
"Yah please." I walk in and attempt to take off my shoes. How the hell... Of all the things I could miss, of all the things I could be oblivious to... HOW THE HELL DID I FORGET SHOES!?
"Is something wrong?" She turns her head to examine me, bent over reaching for my heels like an idiot.
"Ah nothing nothing!" I reply quickly brushing off my feet.
The interior was odd, a circle with three connecting rooms. It had a fire-stove and some rugs on one side and a kitchen area on the other. Two older people are sitting in the middle.
"Oh who's this?" The female asks. Breton I believe.
"This is Ayrton... A-" She looks thoughtful for a second. That's right, I never actually told her I was a mage! Or rather an apprentice. Ah whatever!
"A Mage. I'm a mage." I finish for her.
"Oh...? can we see a demonstration? How about... destruction magic first?" I don't like how that 'first' rang... Also... No introductions?
"I'm Oryo, cold-fist." That's right, bretons put titles at the end of their names. "This is Jeneeb." That sounds like an argonian name. But he's... What is he?
"So? Can we see a demonstration of magic?"
"Sure." I reply, cheerfully I place my hands in front of my chest. I slowly conjure up the image of a wisp flame in my mind. The flame pops into existence faster than any other time, with less energy too.
"Oh...? Did you just summon or do destruction?" The girl asks.
I can't help but look down.
"Ah!" I jump back. Mostly because the flame didn't disappear, but also because it was looking at me. A flame is looking at me!
"I think you just created a familiar, how extraordinary!" Oroyo says happily.
"Ah! Your a breton correct? Could you explain this to me? I only tried to create a flame!" I ask quickly.
"It's quite simple really, most magi have some sort of familiar with them, usually an animal they give powers to. You, however created a familiar with your own power. Don't go thinking your special though. It happens more often then people think."
It looks like there's more to magic than any of us could have ever expected...
The flame yawns... That is truly the oddest sight yet, and I saw a person just explode themselves. It looks at me and flys quite quickly at me, but not hostily. It pulls itself around my shouldersand rests on my right hand side.
"That's odd though. It can shape-shift, but probably only within it's element. Now you can feel proud."
"Does it go away?" I ask.
"No." Straight forward.
"Ugh..." Another problem to deal with.
"I think this one will do dear." The old man speaks. Honestly I thought he was dead.
"Pardon?" The breton girl asks.
"This one can take our granddaughter. He will be able to protect her." Where'd she go anyway?
"Well then." The breton girl says, "Please take care of our granddaughter!"
"..." Huh? "Wait what!?"
"We need someone to teach our daughter the basics of magic, those stuffies at the guild will never be able to do that." Oryo smiles at me, amused. It's as if I'm not understanding a really obvious joke.
"So your giving her to a complete stranger?!" I yell.
"Arianea!" The girl calls. Wait. there's something strange. She's fading. I become serious fast. She isn't alive in the first place.
"Oh... He's quick!" The old man exclaims.
"Don't read my mind!" I say as Arianea walks into the room.
"Yes grandma?"
"This boy is your new master. Explain his role to him. And treat him well." Oryo's body starts to fade. Oddly enough Arianea only smiles sadly at her fading grandmother. I guess she's known for a while that this day would come.
'You know... I feel that this is not only rushed, but very odd and out of place." I say out-loud.
"You'll get used to that m'boy. Many things in life are rushed when we want more time to examine the details of them." The old man laughs as he slowly deteriorates, his body becoming lights disappearing to god knows where.
"Luck!" Oryo says with a sly smile on her face. It becomes quiet as the two finally vanish. The room seems old. I look at Arianea. She looks sad, then looks at me and smiles.
"I hope you take good care of me, Master." That is one thing I never want to be called.
I walk from the room outside. I look up to the stars and breath in to calm down. Apparently, I just got promoted to A Summoner and a guardian of a young mage.
Ayrton received the titles Guardian and Summoner! Ha...
My familiar adjusts his body to be more comfortable around my neck. He's actually quite warm to have.
"Ah! Wait!" Arianea comes after me.
"Excuse me, but what the hell just happened?" I say turning to face her.
"You... I guess we should start from the start..." she says. This had better be one hell of an explanation. My friend might be being eaten by goblins as we speak!

OOC: I promise you guys that I'll finish this next block of writing, but I don't have time right now so please for give the rushedness. If I find it to be disappointing, I'll edit more detail into it so it's s little less rushed.
P.S. When this topic is filled, I'll be creating the new one. From now on I'm going to try to check on this every day. The only days I won't be able to do this are Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but I'll still try to get on. This is to say, I'm not appointing myself leader, I just will be creating the new topic and being on more. If more people want to join or some back, I'm sure we'll have no problems with this!

Romeo

The small crystals in the gave illuminated the surroundings as the torch light feeded them the necessary light. It was dark, swampy, humid. With a small stream of water in the background.
stressed and quaking on his boots he moved to the first group of Clouded Funnel Cap followed by a headless skeleton . While harvesting the ingredients he needed, he listened to every rock that moved, a drop of water or the wind that blew past the opening. He saw several tunnels that could lead to any place.

During his farming ingredients, he suddenly heard a high pinch sound. His hands got clamp and sweaty and fell on the ground to not be noticed, the skeleton dissolved in smoke and disappeared as well. He cursed his stupidity as the he let the torch fell in a pool of water and headless skeleton disappeared in smoke.

He laid there on the wet stones, uncomfortable to every sound. Then he was fed up and stood up while saying carefully: “Marko?.....”


After a while Romeo got fed up and said; polo while thinking about investigating the sound. With no light, and a wet torch he crawled on his knees to the nearest entrance. As his eyes got used to the dark he noticed the small crystals emitted a faint light in the cave. Which give him some degree of vision. While sneaking through the tunnels a second high pinch sound came through his head.
“Whatever that was, it is in pain” he thought to himself.
A shady light of flames casted dancing shadows on the cave walls.
“a third scream echoed through the caverns”.
Now Romeo could smell the stench of something vile. “This can’t be good” he thought while he put his dagger away and equipped the bow and arrow. At the opening of the tunnel, Romeo sneaked silently towards a big rock and peeked around the corner.
A dear was dragged into the hole of the goblins upside down on a stick. The deer in stress made unusual noises.
“Looks like we got meat on the menu boys!” a goblin croaked happily, while the group of goblins cheered.
“Luckly we don’t have to eat those maggots anymore for a while!” another one replied.
“Charge!” and they begun slaughtering the deer like savages with knives and axes.

With disgust Romeo watched with horror how the poor beast was slaughtered;
“At least give him a quick death, for crying out loud.” He mumbled within itself.
“ Well better that deer then me, I should end my visit here.”
“And gosh what a bad odor…. I guess I am sweating to much”
When Romeo turned around he bumped into something soft and looked up.
A massive green goblin stood before him with a not that friendly big wooden club in his hand and especially not a very friendly smile on his face.
“Marko…….”


OOC: Aryton, a very nice attempt to bring people togheter to make this potential lore a good story.
However

From now on I'm going to try to check on this every day. The only days I won't be able to do this are Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but I'll still try to get on.

If you cant manage to answer my questions in even 5 days, Why do you check this lore and not answering the questions.
Anyways, I'll gave the last line an open end so i can do several things. I can get captured, or get out with group of very angry goblins behind my *****.
It would be nice to be rescued seeing my odds. But if i have to keep waiting for 4-7 days before getting an answer i will take the 2nd option.

days remaning: 1
