A Mystery Unleashed Playground 12

[quote=LoneWolf]"Sel, slow down. What do you mean?"[/quote]

"Celia." He explained. "Hircine was manipulating her. It's not too late - three days haven't passed yet. We can rescue Arco, and then get to Balmora...somehow."

"We need to move fast if we intend to do that. Let's go!"

Sel barely heard him. He was already running as fast as he could towards Maar Mok.

OOC: we all have to meet up again somehow...

oh, and make sure someone gets triel...don't want to leave her agian.

Jonacin looked at Serene. "We need to keep up with Sel. Will you be able to handle the run?"

[quote=LoneWolf]Jonacin looked at Serene. "We need to keep up with Sel. Will you be able to handle the run?"[/quote]

"Of course I can!! I´m very strong Jonacin, especially when one of my friends is in danger" Let´s go!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Then lets run" Jonacin said, and began sprinting after Sel

Mazuk, overhearing what Sel said. Looked around and notice Triel wasn't with them. Mazuk then said to the other as they ran off that he would get Triel and catch up.

He then ran back to camp and scooped Triel up. Then turned and ran as quick as he could to catch up with the group.

At the last moment Serene thought of the little girl Triel..shesaw that Mazuk already had got her so she turned and ran after Jonacin as fast as she could....somehow her legs magically grew stronger and faster, she merely flew over the ground in an incredibly high speed.........


A purple aura started to form around Serene, as she merely floated through the air one feet above the ground.....

OOC: Mazuk already picked up Triel...

Sel stopped and turned to Jonacin. He just remembered something.

"Jonacin! you go ahead and get Arco! I'm leaving!" he said, just as he activated his amulet.

He opened his eyes - he was in Balmora, just in front of the mages guild.

"Celia, Niran." he said. He reached in his pack and pulled out a potion behind his back.

Jonacin stopped for a moment as Sel used his amulet and vanished. Then he started running again. He was drawing close to the hills that Serene had said Arco was in somewhere

Niran jumped back as Sel appeared in front of him.

"How in the name of Oblivion?"

Sel winked. "Some amulets are magic, you know."

He turned to Celia. "I turned cowardly before, but now that I know what's wrong, I will go through with it, despite what Hircine may have to say." he warned, pulling the potion out from behind his back.

"So, please cure yourself of this disease."

Shakur heard the voices of his companions. "Oh my lords! I'm sorry about this V'anul, but I must go!" Shakur ran towards the voices. He was determined to warn them to find Heddvild and hide with her.

OOC: I found out I was spelling Shakur's wife's name wrong all along. It's Heddvild, not Hildvile.

Niran stepped in front of Celia, separating the two.

"Sel, come here."

Niran motioned for him to follow into the mages guild.

Sel tossed the potion into Celia's hands. "I can get more." he warned before following Niran into the mage's guildhall.

OOC: Had he? Ok i´ll edit my post then..


IC: Serene quickly took 3 vials from her backpack, opened them and offered Jonacin and Mazuk one each to drink..

"Get them downed at once, we have to use magic now..we have to fly...."

She drank her potion and waited for the others to do the same

"Let´s hold hands, then we take off in 2 minutes"

"Celia stay there." Niran said as he let Sel come in before closing the door.

"You know she's already made her decision."

Jonacin downed the potion Serene had givven him in a single gulp. It tasted quite bad, but he had tasted worse.

Celia shook her head, staring at the potion in her hand, after Sel and Niran left her. "I can't," she said softly. "I can't.." She tried to put the potion to her lips, but she pulled it away as pain scorched her lips, as if they were burning.
"Oh!"

She thought she heard footsteps quickly getting closer, but that could be just her imagination.

(OOC: Shakur's running, right?)

"I know that Hircine had a hand in that decision as well." Sel spat back at Niran. "The Celia we know would never abandon a little child for a disease...You know that as well as I, so either help me make the decision Celia would make witout Hircine in her head, or leave before I kill you."

Shakur saw Celia. He ran towards her. He pointed to a house andd spoke "Run. Gather everyone and run to that house. You say you're a friend of Shakur and then you don't come out till morning, do you understand?" Shakur was desperate, the sun was lowering and hair was was sprouting on his back and neck.

Niran kept his anger down

"Sel, now's not the time to threaten me. We can fight later. Celia has been saying strange things lately . ." Niran thought for a moment "allright, I'll help in whatever way I can. You confuse her for a few moments."

(OOC: Noooo! Don't delete it!)

Serene took Jonacin by the one hand and Mazuk by the other and with a chant from her the little group took off and swayed through the air at considerable speed

"Mazuk, hold the child tight, dont drop her!" Serene shouted as they approached the three mountains near Maar Mok...


"Ahhhhhhh, help, the cry in agony filled Serene´s mind....

Sel was taken aback. Niran was the last person he expected to help him. He figured he would have fought him, if only out of spite.

"Alright. Make sure Celia doesn't go anywhere while I buy another potion - I have a feeling Hircine wouldn't let her take the one I gave her."

He didn't have to go far - he was in the mage's guild after all.

Niran exited the building and saw Shakur running wildly towards Celia, hair sprouting up on his back, Niran drew his sword.

"Run, Celia!" he shouted despite Sel's request. The potion wouldn't be any good on a dead person.

Celia threw down the potion. It shattered to pieces and the contents spread onto the floor. She glanced towards Niran and then back at Shakur. "Why? Shakur, what's going on?" She was worried and a bit alarmed at Shakur's behavior and the hairs growing on him.

"I'm turning into something that you really dont want to see, so just go to the house and hide" Shakur was desperate. His eyebrows were thickening and his hands were closing inwards. "RUN! RUN NOW AND DON'T LOOK BACK!" Shakur Ran awkwardly, until his hands and feet were paws. He ran on all fours, and ran for the hills. His eyes turned thin and yellow. This wasn't going to be a subtle change.

OOC: I'll be off for a few minutes, but not long.

Sel hurried outside with two potions. He stopped when he saw Shakur acting strangely and Niran with a sword drawn on him. Celia was stunned. A perfect opportunity - if nothing else happened.

Niran, who saw Celia had frozen, grabbed her by the arm roughly.

"Get moving, now! He's a werewolf!" he attempted to drag her along.

OOC: If we want this to actually move on we'll have to skip Red, he doesn't seem to be online anymore

IC: Jonacin was slightly amazed as he left the gorund, but quickly grew used to it, reasoning that it was basically the same as what Serene had done to get them up the mountain

OOC: Yeah I am, but I had to walk my dog. Be back in a few minutes.

Sel chased after Niran, who was dragging Celia.

"Do you really want to turn into that every night?" he asked, trying to reason with Celia.

Celia was still stunned after seeing what Shakur had become. "No," she whispered, still being dragged by Niran. "Not really...but he's not letting me..."

Niran who had become frustrated with the fact that Celia wasn't running as fast as he knew she could so he pushed her in front of him and ran behind her.

Mazuk said " this is akward(sp?) to be looking down at the ground but it seems less tiring". He could get use to this.

Sel was also unhappy with Celia's speed, so he scooped her up and ran until he came across the Morag Tong Guildhall. He hoped the Cammona Tong didn't have a writ out for him...but Celia was more important, he decided. He burst through the door, put Celia down gently and bolted the door.

He ignored the shocked stares from the assassins as he pulled the cork from a potion.

"If Hircine won't let you, I'll force you." He held her mouth open with one hand and poured the potion into itwith another. He quickly clamped her mouth shut, but she refused to swallow.

"Swallow." he ordered.

(OOC: Weren't we supposed to be at Red's house or something?)

Celia's tongue felt as if a thousand daggers were stabbing at it. She spat the potion stuff out. "Ouch, it hurts!"

Niran followed them and grabbed the potion bottle from Sel's hand .. but it was too late.

"You jerk!" he shouted pushing Sel away, then he stared at Celia to see her next move, would she spit it out?

(OOC: Sorry Mergirl, Dantrag my idea would have worked easily . . slip it into her drink.)

OOC: we ran away because he turned werewolf, and gamer10, he has another potion, if she doesn;t swallow.

and I was posting here when all the planning went on...

Niran was soaked by the potion . . (OOC:gross)

"Celia, drink this." he pulled a flask from his belt and handed it to her "You can use it to wash your mouth."

Niran would find someway for her to take the potion . .

Sel glared at Niran. "If you hadn't pushed me out of the way, I could have forced her to swallow, and would she be in danger of turning into a werewolf? No."

"I don't care, do you not care that it causes her pain. Of course not, in order to protect yourself you'd do anything wouldn't you!"

"Myself?" Sel stood up. "You think this is about me? No, it's about what would happen to Celia should she attack me and my survival instinct overrule my emotions."

"Now are you going to help me, or not? The same offer as before stands."

"Survival instinct? My my, that's the first time I have heard that. Must be special with Dark Elves, no control."

Then he said

"We still have time don't we? Try it when everythings calmed . . I can tell you when." Niran said this stepping closer to Sel and speaking softly so Celia wouldn't hear.

Sel eyed Niran suspiciously. Was this a different approach to letting Celia stay a werewolf, act like he's on the same side, and not doing anything? No, it was something else.

"You put a potion in that flask didn't you?" he whispered to Niran before continuing the angry ruse.

"I guess you haven't been in too many battles if you don't know what survival instinct is." he spat back.

Niran grinned devilishly at Sel.

"I have much more battle expierience than you do!"

Celia gulped down the water in the flask, relieved that the pain was gone. "Oh, that felt quite good..." She glanced up at the two arguing males. "Well, maybe you can try another way, you two." She scolded them, not knowing what had happened.

Sel smiled as he saw Celia swallow.

"You would think the God of the Hunt would be a little smarter than that." he said with a grin. "You just swallowed a potion, Celia."

Niran nearly burst out laughing, at least everything was okay now. He grabbed hold of Celia to keep himself up and laughed like a madman.
