EDIT(minque): OOC:Need this really soon. I saw Epy lurking around earlier.

:shocked:

OOC: LOL! I figured you would find Rane though...he's always locking our threads at exactly 200...

Osano looked around at the rest of the group. He wondered what he might do. He thought about joining the mage. Osnao was neither good nor evil, he simply made friends and fought for himself. "Mage," Osano stepped forward and looked up at the mage, "what would you have to offer me? I do not care for the girls life, I do not even know her. What could you offer me?"

OOC: sry if this seems out of character.....not much I could do.

Mage

Arcyakt smiled.

"What do you want?" he said in answer.

Osano couldn't help but grin a little when he spoke the words, "Power. Simply power."

Mage

"Deal." He said with a disarming smile.

He had not expected to gain the alliance of Osano...this made his game even more fun - being able to predict everything almost got old...

Osano took a deep breath, and walked towards the large dragon, and stood by it's side. He looked over the other's expressions and wondered what they were thinking. He felt he had mislead them into thinking he was "one of the good guys". He almost felt sorry for doing that, then dismissed the idea. He felt a surge of power, but was unsure if it was the mage's magick or just a feeling of - well, whatever it was, he liked it.

"Osano you traitor! May you rot in Oblivion!"

While watching from below and out of site. Mazuk is trying to figure out what is going on.

Niran once again put the little girl to the ground and unsheathed his sword.

"I will kill you!" he said to Osano.

[quote=gamer10]"Osano you traitor! May you rot in Oblivion!"[/quote]
"Hah! After you." Osano said drawing his sword. Niran was the only he would not feel the smallest amount of guilt for killing. The man had threatened him before, and Osano didn't take kindly to threats.

OOC: dantrag, uh, am i more powerful yet?

Niran finally had a worthy challenge. He did a circle around Osano and tha mage before charging in.

(Dont kill my character)

Osano smiled, "Die! n'wah," Osano said swinging his claymore in a wide sweep at Niran.

Niran brought his sword up and it clanged loudly.

He used his boot to kick Osano in the stomach and cut at his arm holding the sword as he was pushed back.

(OOC: No impairing him either, cutting off limbs etc., but feel free to cut him up badly.)

Although Niran's attack pierced Osano's armor, he felt nothing. The kick to his stomache also left him unphased. "I'm wearing armor, your going to have to do better than that!" he said swinging his sword downward on Niran with an awesome power.

OOc: dont worry you wont die as for wounds, its up to you

Niran felt the force of the blade in his shoulder of the arm opposite of the one holding the sword. He grimaced, but ran forward and attacked again.

(OOC: Have to go soon.)

"You are persistant, aren't you?" Osano thrust his blade at Niran hoping to end this duel.

OOC: dont you have a cut leg? then again, you lived a fall off a cliff...I have to go soon also.


***EDIT***Ill be AFK for a minute

(OOC: Earlier I made Niran tear his sleeve and tie the cloth around it.)

Niran fell backwards when he felt the blade pierce his skin for the second time. This time he stumbled about four steps back, and dropped his sword. He stood there holding his new wound and breathing fast.

(OOC: And that's where I'll leave you. Until tomorrow morning.)

OOC: Nice fight scene :goodjob: , I am not sure if I should post in context, though. Dont want to mess up anything...

Mage

Arcyakt clapped his hands. "Good fight.... The power I have given Osano will only grow with time. Soon, your weapons will not be able to harm him." He said to everyone. He turned to Osano.

"Do not kill him. His part in my game has not yet been played."

"Who else will join me and taste power?" he asked. "I will not leave until everyone has givven me a 'yes' or a 'no'. Konrad? Serene? Jonacin? Falx? Celia? Fenris? Arco? Yes, even you Clangor...I still need answers, and I will wait here until I have them."

Falx stood and watched the spetacle. Niran, by Falx's estamits (OMG I cant spell today) was losing, the mage must be pouring his evil power into Osano(SP). Yet Falx was hesitant to step in, in fact he would of rather let that little devil Niran die.

Falx cursed at himself, "Those thoughts are evil, cease them" Then Falx rembered everything he had done that was evil....

Suddenly Osano had Niran almost down. Niran had lost his sword and was knealing clutching his stomach. The final blow was coming.

"STOP!" Falx walked forward and in front of the inevitable blow that was to follow, and abruptly threw a hard punch square into Osano's face.

He was alone with Niran now, Falx his sword at his throat, "I've been waiting for this for a while" Falx said with a evil grin and then subtly gave a wink to Niran.

"My lord, I have seen the power that you can give.. I want it.." Falx hoped the others understood what he was doing

Mage

Arcyakt looked at Falx quizzically.

"You're lying. Do you take me for a fool? I can delve into your minds! Did you not wonder how I knew that Sel had tortured someone? Or that Konrad had pushed Niran off the cliff? Spare me your lies, I take your answer as 'no'."

OOC: I'll be gone for awhile...

[quote=Dantrag]Mage

Arcyakt looked at Falx quizzically.

"You're lying. Do you take me for a fool? I can delve into your minds! Did you not wonder how I knew that Sel had tortured someone? Or that Konrad had pushed Niran off the cliff? Spare me your lies, I take your answer as 'no'."[/quote]

Falx grunted, "I shouldn't have regaurded you as fool Arcyakt... Your much wiser than I expected.."

Falx threw his sword at Arcyakt the tip bairly missing him, and then he charge at the mage, latching on to him, and throwing Arcyakt and Falx off the clifface

Mage

Arcyakt separated from Falx in the fall, and cast a teleportation spell. The black tube spit him out back on top of the dragon.

"I was promised that nobody would try anything. I'm so sorry that your friend felt the need to kill himself." he sneered.

"Now I want everyone's answers...and no more feeble attempts to kill me - for they will all fail."

(OOC: G'night! Oh, and I'm in the mood to update Emma's story soon after summer school's over. )

Celia glanced at the others, and tried to guess what their own emotions were at this moment.

She slowly shook her head and tried to speak politely due to her fear of him. "Sorry, mister mage. I'll have to pass on the...er, kind offer..." She again looked at the expressions on the others. She hoped that they would not try to fight this mage.

Osano disliked the punch that Falx threw. That man is next. He watched Falx take Arcyakt off the cliff with him, but Osano knew the mage could handle himself. He turned back to Niran and pointed his sword at his throat and lifted Niran's chin up to look him in the eye. "You will live to die another day. I pity you, you keep getting hurt," Osano said with a laugh, "Now, who is next? Shakur? Jonacin? Or perhaps you, the Bosmer I haven't met yet?" Osano said, almost playfully.

"DAMN!" Falx thought to himself, "WHAT IN THE NAME OF OBLIVION IS GOING TO BECOME OF ME NOW!" The small objects on the ground started to grow much larger, much faster.. The end was near

Falx blacked out..

edit.

Osano paced while eyeing the group. He could feel his new power consume him, slowly, as if he were being engulfed in flames. He walked to the cliff where Falx had fallen. "An honorable way to die, I suppose, to bad it was in vain."

I'm off for tonight I suppose, dantrag, you may control my character, Osano will follow Arcyakt now so.....good night

OOC: Sorry I was gone so long everyone, I got an offer I could not refuse so I kinda... sat on by butt and watched CSI.

Clangor looked at the situation at hand. "I wont join you, and I never will."
Better to go down being a good person then live evil after all. "So why dont you let Niron go, you cant blame the guy for trying."

Mage

He nodded at Celia and Clangor. "I figured that answer...from the both of you. Only a few more answers....just a few." he said, almost impatiently. He spoke as if he were reading from a list. "Serene, Arco, Fenris, Jonacin, Konrad...take time to think. All decisions need to be carefully thought out..."

Serene felt the paralysis fade away, then suddenly she was filled with an utmost power, purple light was emerging from her, she grew bigger and eventually lifted from the ground;

So Azura spoke through Serene:

"Arcyakt! Are you man enough to dare challenge my powers? You got the traitor amongst us, now you want the rest? That is not going to happen, these people are under MY protection and I curse you and your evil pet back to Oblivion from where you came!!!!"

She stood like an avenging angel, 3 feet above the ground, glowing with an eerie purple light, hands outstretched gazing at the mage with frightening eyes....

(OOC: Plz remember to say OOC when your talking out of character, or say it in he Plan and Discussion thread)'

Arco seemed quite calm as the paralyze went off, the mage couldn't intimidate him, he had nothing to lose and nothing to gain by joining him...

"You have nothing to offer me Arcyakt, what do you want out of this...?" Arco questioned the mage, his anger rising but tried to stay calm... "Guess your after power and control as most poor spawns of Oblivion!" Arco added unsheathing his scimitars, but held them low..

As Serene suddently rose above the ground and started to glow, he could feel the aura sent out of Serene.. It was Azura, Arco lowered his scimitars even more and locked on to Serene and Arcyakt...

Deep inside Serene still was herself, scared to death for her friends, Arco, Sel, Celia, Shakur.......but especially for Jonacin, because by now she couldn´t imagine a life without him.....She felt the powers of Azura overwhelm her and grow stronger as time passes, she also noticed her friends being en garde...

The tension of the moment was intense, it was a battle between great powers, Arcyakt was a very strong mage, but yet he had not defeated Azura..

She thougt of casting a spell but had not enough magicka to do it...just yet, it all was consumed by just keeping the goddess spirirt inside her

"Jonacin, Jonacin"....she concentrated on the warm feelings for the young redguard, to regain strength and willpower....

Shakur felt uneasy. The mage obviously would kill Serene first if anything goes wrong, but Shakur couldn't handle not helping. He steped infront of Azura hoping to take any of his shots.

Arco stepped up with Shakur, holding his scimitars ready, not letting anything hurt Serene. He stared Arcyrakt right in his eyes, his eyes only filled with anger...

"Shakur, Arco!, step behind me, hold on to me lend me your strength!" Serene spoke with the voice of Azura, "That is how we can stand up to this evilness, to be united , to hold on to each other"

Mage

Arcyakt heard Arco's decision. "Hmm, you surprise me, Arco...I had thought that you would want to join in another slaughter with me..."

Arcyakt cackled when he turned to Azura. "Ha! Azura, you mean nothing to me. I defeated your minions before, and will do so again. You think of her as a saviour...when in fact, she is merely using you - just as you say I am using Osano...how am I any more evil than Azura?"

"You cannot win this stand off." he continued to Serene. "It takes all of your power merely holding Azura inside you. If she is so powerful, have her lend you some power! Hmm...nothing yet? Why am I not surprised?"

He smiled. Even godesses wanted to join in his fun....

Sel

Sel didn't join the others behind Serene. He had scooped up Triel when Niran had gotten up to fight Osano.

He didn't join the struggle because he feared that he would weaken his own side in his current state - if he didn't know who he was, how could he have any willpower?

"We'll see about that... and dont try to ignore my question, what are you after!?" Arco added crying out at Arcyakt..

Mage

"You want to know what I want? Pain. For myself along with everyone else. This world will bleed, I swear it. Soon, you will see the meaning of what I am saying...maybe sooner than you think." he said with a wink.

He grew more serious. "I still need answers...despite Azura's 'protection' she claims to have given you." he said in defiance to Azura.

Serene gathered the strength of both Arco and Shakur, also the fact that Jonacin was in great danger made her even more strong and determined to defeat this creatures of oblivion.....seeing that Sel had taken the little girl she decided what her first attack should be:

She bent forward, collecting all powers she could and cast a blue-white lightning at Arcyakt, at the same time she shoved Shakur and Arco back and sidewards to get them out of the immediate danger

"AZURAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" she yelled begging the goddess for help.......


"All was covered in blue-white light.........then ...silence

(OOC: Ahh sorry Minque, lets just say I said that in the moment right before your action, to lazy right now to edit)

"I've seen enough pain and suffering in my life, also felt to much... Your not intimidating me - but I'm still going to stop you!" Arco replied to Arcyakt..

OOC: ok Fuzz, NP

"This woman will NEVER join you" Azura´s voice was heard loud and clear through the hissing of the blue lightfenomenon, "She´s MINE.. all mine"

Mage

"Azura, Azura, why have you always hated me? You tore me from this world at my prime, and sent me to your home - more aptly called hell. And now that I have returned, you still must dabble in my life. I'm just sorry that you send minions...why not come yourself? Hmm...I was named a coward for hiding behind a little girl...you do no different by hiding behind Serene."

He then spoke to the mortals.

"You want to fight me?" Arcyakt asked incredulously. "You realize that you will lose, even with the added power of Azura and your friends. I do not want to ruin my fun by killing you..."

"Well guess the fun is over then!" Arco added to Arcyakt's comment, grasping hard on his scimitars holding them up in front of him getting ready for a fight...

"Arcyakt! You rejected my love once..in favor of younger girls...now I´m dwelling in this woman to show you the beauty and magnifice of a mature mortal......but she is not for you, she is mine and I will curse you for ever!" Azura´s voice broke, and the bright light dimmed for a second....Serene swayed and was nearly to fall over

Mage

"I have been cursed by you ever since I was born. Why should it hold any more weight this time? I didn't reject your love - you never offered any. All you offered was your hell. Now get out of the mortal before You or I kill her! Look at her, she is close to death from your inhabitance of her body. Azura, the loving mother who kills and banishes more than she blesses." Arcyakt spat.

OOC: Why is it that as soon as I go to sleep everyone gets on?
