Trapped Within Darkness

[Nerull]

Nerull gave a long horribly malicious laugh as he heard Avean's pitiful request. Taking the extra precaution of bringing his spell shields to maximum strength he gflanced over towards where the battle between Viktor and David went on.

At a flicker in David's eyes, however, Nerull opened his inner sight, Now, don't think your mind's safe David. Nothing is sacred inside of my domain. And with the girl... don't even bother trying to give her hope. What's hope for the hopeless.

Not only would Nerull's whispered taunts be rather anoying, the sensation of having one attack your mind would be rather unnerving. And it would take quite a bit of attention to actively force someone out of your mind once they had grasped ahold of your thoughts.

[Viktor Delacro]

Viktor took a few lazy steps back, grinning. He began to catch on to Nerull's ploy. He had seen the residual divinations of Nerull's thoughts. This girl was not faithful to this dragoon. What a pity. It brought a laugh to his lips.

He spread his hands apart disarmingly and the sword remained floating around Viktor's being. His cape drifted lazy in the dusty wind from Avean's spell.

"Oh yes, my opinion has changed, but I'm afraid not for the better. You are a Dragoon. I used to be a Paladin, closely aligned with your type. Maybe you've heard of the Noble House Platinus. Very prominent family of Dragoons. I killed every one of them in their sleep to gain the favor of Tiamat."

He waved one hand still lazily.

"But to speak of favor, young dragoon. It seems you favor this young girl here."

[Avean Luxenbourg]

Avean growled deeply, her eyes now turning red. She raised her arms underneath the chains and they broke away. Avean stomped towards Nerull, muttering a curse under her breath. After finishing she shot a ray of light at him, meant to be another ray of lightening but stronger this time due to her anger.

[David Augustine]

"She is a friend of mine, yes." David announced to Viktor, "I have helped her many occasions and whether she has not been completely faithful to me or not does not affect my judgement. I have made a promise to her that I intend to keep until my death. And as for that family I have never heard of them. So you serve under the rebelous influence of Tiamat. A powerful ally that must have been for you to gain. Either way I am not like most dragoons. They are believed to be known for their balance and jumping, but in ancient times they were known for something else. They were the knights who fought the most powerful of beasts. Thus they were called the dragon knights or dragoons. But since dragons are now thought to be extict they are no longer known for that."

David looked a Viktor with a slight grin. "I however have found one. One of the creatures of legends that have burnt the giants of the past to a crisp. And not just any one dragon, but king himself. I have deemed myself worthy in his eyes. So the question is should you fear what I may do or what will he do?"

[Viktor Delacro]

Viktor laughed again at the the boy's impertinence. He floated the sword back to his hand.

"Ooh now, the king or dragons you say? My Dragon Queen Tiamat commands me to shake in my boots. It seems we have our own war of the dragons now, don't we?"

He smiled a very evil smile just then.

"And as for the girl, she no longer needds your weak oath, she gave herself willingly to me last night. She has no need of a conviction blind fool such as yourself."

(ooc: Nrull had to hit the sack, so lets keep the posting on simmer for this thread, as it can get very chaotic with four posters and he doesn't want to miss anything)

[Avean Luxenbourg]

"HOW DARE YOU!" she yelled, jumping forward to throtle Viktor, tears leaking from the corners of her eyes.
Anger pulsed through her viens as if it was the very thing she survived off of.

[David Augustine]

"Your words do not influence me." David replied calmly, "Even if what you say is true." As he spoke his sword began to glow brighter. "I do not break my promises. I may be blind and convicted, but those are not weakness. I am not blind to the truth and I see straight through you. Your talk is greater than your actions. Your heart is black and so is your soul. You choose to live in darkness." David's sword now glowed a brillant light. It turned from a blue aura to a white light. "Allow me to bring the light. I will cut you down and any other minions of yours with this sword or my spear. Prepare to face the Lightbringer."

With his final words, the Lightbringer gave off a flash of light that would of blinded all those that were looking and caused them to break from their concentration. When it started to become visible once more, David was already right in front of Viktor and going for an upward slash from the lower left.

[Viktor Delacro]

Viktor's laugh was an evil laugh. He simply was exhilerated by his own evil, it brought him life. The darkness comforted him, the shadow grew stronger as the light grew more radiant.

He waited for the brash young girl to come near enough to him, then simply and brutally backhanded the upstart aside. Brushed away like some insectoid nuisance.

He waited for David's boring speech to finish and the radiance effect to reach its height, then using his own shadow from behind him, now at a great supernatural power from David's own technique, he wrapped his hand and armor in the dark shell of its being.

When the light cleared he had caught David's mighty strike with nothing but his shadow-empowered gauntlet.

[Avean Luxenbourg]

Avean fell to the ground with the power of his uphand. She cried out and laid her hand on the area she was hit. Her hands laid on the spot he hit her and she slid back and stood up, a hurt expression upon her face.
"STOP IT!" she shrieked at Viktor.

[David Augustine]

David held his position and continued to apply his strength. His eyes locked on Viktor's. He couldn't hope but notice the smoke that was coming from Viktor's guantlet. The Lightbringer was cutting through. It was also something about this light coming from the sword. The light reflected off of everything. There were no shadow's to be seen even behind a structure. He continued to apply his strength to his sword.

[Avean Luxenbourg]

Avean felt power pulse through her mind. She stood up again and began to mutter tounges beneath her breath, glaring through a curtain of deep red hair at Viktor.
"Ith Bin Yimoot Pic Reet..." she began, almost silent to the human ear.
Avean stood completely still except for her hands shaking lightly from her once existing anger towards Viktor and Nerull. The anger was replaced with something else, nothing that was understood but just metaphorically there.
Avean pointed to Viktor, a slim cyclone of gold liquid spinning from the tip of her index finger.
She didn't know what she was doing but went along with her instinct.

[Hawkes Star]

(sorry guys. I have to change my post around to fit.)

Hawkes had left the city yesterday morning to go for a hike along a trial that he found a few days ago. He had a brown burlap bag slung across his shoulder next to his bow. His sword was in its respectful spot and his dagger was hidden. Hawkes had his black traveling cloak on and his hood was up so his face was under shadows but his eyes were still peircing. As he walked a shadow of a old citadel rose up on the horizon. As Hawkes walked towards it he could tell that death ruled here and he put his hand on his sword. Off in the distance he could hear fighting and ran towards the sound. He came to the door and when he tried to open it but it was sealed magically.

"Let me into the fight you cowards!!!!!!!!" Hawkes screamed and steeped back a few steps and drew his sword.

[Avean Luxenbourg]

Avean's attention didn't turn to Hawkes but his presence gave her strength.
As the swirling golden liquid became longer it curled into a ball. Avean began to mutter faster, the worlds swirling together as the golden thread had.
"..Hi-Fin-Porti-Kivana-..."

[David Augustine]

David's main focus remained on Viktor. He couldn't help but grin when he heard Hawkes' voice. "I wouldn't mind a little help." he said while looking from the corner of his eye. He was beginning to tire from this position and Viktor started to overpower him. Steam still came from his gauntlet as the sword was started to cut through.

[Marim Mazmo]

Marim entered the citadel. He needed to find out more about Viktor's secrets. But suddenly he heard voices' talking and headed in that direstion. He walked slowly taking his time and reached an area where he saw a number of people. Viktor Delacro was fighting with David. Another warrior was also ready behind David. There was a strange looking mage he had never seen before. Avean was muttering something as she too tries to take Viktor and his ally down.

Marim was suprised to see so many people at one place, and at this time but he shouted to David who was staring at Viktor and said,"Looks like we can make it more easier around here.....can't we, David? Count me in David. Let's get what we want and get out of here."
