"This is stupid, This group can't even hold itself up, let alone banding together to defeat a common enemy."

"Your very observant," Niran said mockingly "None of us noticed that."

"indeed," Megil glared at Niran, "But it seems that you are the main problem."

"Yeah, so I've been told. By everyone, so you can keep your mouth shut."

Stupid bastarde.

Niran returned the glare, he refused to be the first to look away or back down.

(OOC: Slow internet connect, my bad.)

Celia sighed in exasperation, her head felt like bursting. "Megil's right, Niran!" She glanced at him, her eyes serious. "Whose side are you on?" she growled, frustrated. She grabbed a handful of sand and threw it at Niran's direction. "All you've been doing is antagonizing the group, especially the sensible ones. Taunting, threatening, hurting--- Well, I'm sick of it!"

She glared at Niran and leaned over, her voice low. "And if you ever," she hissed through gritted teeth, "ever hurt my friends again, I will take it that you are an enemy, and I will personally kill you."

Celia smiled tightly and then calmly walked away from the group to find a more quiet spot to think and to be alone.

Sel had been about to say something around the same lines - Niran had, after all cut him with that dagger of his twice, but Celia had beat him to it.

He stared wide-eyed as she threatened Niran. That was...not normal for Celia to say the least.

He let her go, he understood the need to be alone.

"So, instead of slashing each others backs," he said with another glare towards Niran. "Why don't we plan our next move?"

Not on your side, apparently.

With a glare at Celia this time, Niran spat in her direction.

"How much did Sel pay for you, you stupid-!" Niran was going to add more, but decided against it.

So kill me.

And with that he took a step towards Sel and punched him in the face, voicing his thoughts.

"So kill me!"

Sel knew what word Niran left out, and wasn't pleased, to say the least. Even less so when a fist came flying at him.

Sel had to have credit for holding his anger so far, but it couldn't be controlled with constant injury from Niran.

his sword was out of its sheath and at Niran's neck in a flash, it's tip drawing a tiny dot of blood on the exposed flesh.

"If you insult Celia again, stab me again, slash me again, or even punch me again, I will be hard pressed not to do what you asked."

If Niran had a weapon, Sel would have fought him, but even he couldn't kill a defenseless man.

With everything said, Sel sheathed his sword and walked away. He couldn't stand to be around Niran much longer. He walked down to the coast and watched the waves.

"Oh really," Niran said,

With nothing to hit Sel with, he took his heavy pouch and threw it at Sel's head.

Though it missed, because Sel was long gone.

Niran sighed, and kicked the sand.

It wasn't that he didn't feel any guilt or remorse for what he did.

It was that he didn't like apologizing. . .

Niran wandered upon Celia, putting his hand on her shoulder he leaned towards her and whispered.

"Hate me all you want, but I've told you before that I love you, it may not show but I do."

No response came so he continued:

"Celia, okay you want me to admit it, I know you do. I'm a jerk, a hateful stupid and arrogant Imperial." And he spun her around and brought her hand up to his face.

"So hit me, kill me. Do whatever you like, let out your frustration at my arrogance, hurt me. I deserve it."

Konrad arched an eyebrow at Celia in her outburst, then chuckled. He got up again, sheathed his sword, and went to the beach to swim for Vvardenfell. He took off his boots and dived in, slowly making his way to the bigger Island.

What doesn't stop this Arcyakt by just coming here now and corrupting us.. Arneth thought, the group was falling apart - fast. How long could we even survive if we dont know that someone would cover your back...

Arneth looked over, seeing this young boy Konrad diving into the waters heading south and Niran asking for beeing punched in the face. Arneth sighed, this wasn't going to go well. If who ever gave them this quest had done a mistake he thought, without knowing about Azura...

"I agree with Sel! Either, we can all just unleash each others anger on each other, making a massacre(sp?) something that this Arcyakt maybe would have liked..." Arneth admitted, sharing his doubts in the group to stand up against Arcyakt, then he lowered his voice "Or... We can find Arcyakt, kill him, send him back to Oblivion where he will be locked for ever and then we can go our seprate ways! If I join you, and we go against Arcyakt as a group, knowing that the one behind you will cover your back.. and not stab you then we have a chance" with that said Arneth started walking against the south end, trying to catch Konrad before he was long out in the water...

OOC: internet crashed last night -.-

IC: "Well I trust everyon except for him," Megil said pointing in the direction Niran went.

Sel had started coming back baout the time Arneth had started his speech.

"Uhh...you guys are forgetting Serene, you know." He said to them though they were long gone.

"Ehm... I haven't met anyone named Serene so far..." Arneth pointed out...

OTik must have dosed off in the tree because he woke up sharply at the sounds of yelling from his friends, he looked around and saw that NIran was walking off again and the others were talking. so Otik climbed some of the way down the tree and jumped off the rest, without leaving a scratch and ran off tward Niran, hiddden by the trees.

OOC:sorry was at 6 flags and about Otik, you guys might have seen him leep out of the tree but don't know were he went after that.

"She's in the ruin." Sel answered. "I'll go get her."

Konrad stopped aruptly, then just floated in the middle of the sea. He was cold, btu he had been colder. The fish were nibbling at him, though it was not that painful.

Celia's cheeks reddened and she became speechless as she listened to Niran. She felt awkward and confused. After all, she never had experienced this kind of situation before: A male admitting his love for her. Not to mention, she also felt a little embarassed and suddenly shy...

Not sure what to do, and having mixed overwhelming feelings, she slapped Niran several times across the face and ran away towards the group, her cheeks still red.

Niran watched her run off, his hand still in the air where he had taken hold of her's.

"Wow . ." he muttered, at a loss for words as he dropped his hands to his side.

Wow . . .

Well what else did you expect?

Taking a step forward, Niran headed back to the group as well, doing his best to avoid Celia's eyes.

Otik saw what happened and was equally shocked at what happened as Celia and Niran were and walked over to Niran, "uhhh so how'v you been?"

Niran turned to face Otik.

"Same as always . . ." Niran lied.

He sighed and walked away.

Otik stood there for a moment and desided to catch up to Niran, and try to understand him better

He acts like a complete spotted owl and then is shocked when Celia rejects him

Otick shook his head and caught up to Niran, "If you don't mind me asking, what happened. To your family that is."

Niran turned around, why did anyone want to know? However, instead of getting angry he gave the simple answer.

"Dead, all of them. One executed, two murdered." He said as he continued walking again.

Otik continued walking "ahh, i see. My whole town was slautered by the nords from Skyrim. Every one, my friends, family, every one. took me a while, for at least a year or two I sayed in the town, But finnaly I decided it was time to move on and get a life. There is always the pain." Otik stopped as the memories started to come back, He still didn't know why he told Niran that story when he didn't even think about it to hiself. He shook his again, and continued walking.

Niran didn't answer right away.

"Nords? I heard that Nords are agressive but the ones I've met have been kind."

He continued walking as well,

"I can't get a life until I find someway to pay off the Empire."

"yeah The nords were part of a raiding party or something. What did you do to piss the empire off?"

"Raided a prison to free my father, who was executed anyway." Niran laughed.

"An Altmer stoaway had snuck onto the main vessel of his fleet, and it turns out it wasn't a normal stoaway. It was a spy for Summerset." Niran kicked the ground as he walked.

"My father was arrested on a charge of treason, and was sentenced to death by a corrupt court. There was not really a way to prove he didn't allow the stoaway to come on board, and aid Summerset."

"So what are you planing on doing? Revenge? overthrowing the empire? I'd try and help, just don't turn on us all"

(OOC: Are you trying to make him angry!??)

Niran stopped in his tracks.

"I'd appreciate if we didn't talk anymore, about my family."

(OOC:I don't know what i'm doing quite frankly)

"ok sorry" Otik then ran ahead jumped in a tree, and moments later he dropped down in the clearing. He then whiped himself off, looked back, and then jogged over to the group.

Niran didn't follow him.

Instead he leaned against a tree, and stayed silent.

"Where have you been?" he asked as Otik joined the group once again.

"dancing with death." Otik paused, seeing that nobody knew waht he was talking about he added "I was talking with Niran, I think I almost pissed him off. So waht do you need me to do?"

" ah I see," Megil shrugged " Well I'm not sure, just sit tight for a bit, until we decide what to do,"

"ok then, I will just jump into this tree. yell at me if you need me" and with that Otik lcimp the tree and moments later he was at the top

"right," Megil watched with a raised eyebrow. Otik liked trees it seemed.

OOC: MONKEY

Sel spotted Celia returning to camp, and judging by the lok on her face, Sel decided to give her some time alone. (OOC: )

"So, Megil," he began. "How did everyone get on this island anyway? I know you didn't swim."

"Serene has a collection of levitation enchanted objects. so we flew over here," Megil replied.

"Honestly, I just want to leave this island - we've been here far too long. Look, the sun's already going down." he said, pointing at the horizon.

"We are wasting our time."

OOC: a newcomer is lurking around the RP....

A Dunmer was walking silently on the road to Balmora in the darkness of the night. He was tall, but not skinny. He wore a dark grey cloak, with a hood covering most of his face. His bow was strapped around his right should, and he had a quiver on his back, with a sheath for his shortblade. The moonlight barely illuminated the road, but the dunmer could see just fine. His silver shortsword glittered in the moonlight as he walked.

As he approached Balmora, he was stopped by a guard.

"Hey you! What are you doing out here this late at night?", the guard asked, having a quite sleepy expression on his face.

"Oh pardon me, sir. I am on my way to Shakur. I'm a hired bodyguard from the Fighter's Guild. I hope that is alright with you?", the dunmer replied politely and smiled.

The guard simply nodded and mumbled, "On your way then.", before continuing his patrols.

The dunmer took out a map from underneath his cloak, and watched it quickly. His put it back in, and proceeded towards Shakur's house. He walked up to the door, and knocked on it, and then proceeded to wait for an answer.

OOC: It's cool if you want to join, but two things.

1. Post your character in the characters thread. i'll go make a new one, seeing as the other was locked.

2. Might want to start somewhere else, seeing as Red isn't really in the RP to control SHakur.

Konrad was tired by now, and at last he decided to swim back to the island. On his way he was caught ina thunderstorm, and nearly drowned. He called out for help, his mouth filling with seawater. He was eventually washed up on the western beach of the island, close to death.

"Yes, sort of disturbing isn't it, sitting around and awaiting for something to happen, but you don't know what. "

he watched the sun setting,

"Two days we have been here, and not a moment of rest until now, it is very unnerving. The quiet before the storm"

He said watching his tempest shred at the seas, waiting for it to dissipate its energy.

(OOC:

1) I've already posted my char in the Characters thread, Rycarin Windwalker. Just haven't come to the place where I "introduce" myself yet.

2) Red is going to come back, as he told me to be his .. bodyguard.

3) Nothing more, but 3 is a lucky number, no?)

Niran walked up to Megil, looking up at the sky.

"It looks like it's about to storm," He said.

"Hmm yes, left overs from this morning's events. been raging out there most of the day.," Megil commented.

"Perhaps we should find some sort of shelter?" Niran looked at Megil.

"Or can you use your water control ability to sway the storm away?" He asked with a grin.

"Last time i created a storm, I couldn't control it. This one will probably be the same. Perhaps shelter is the better option." Megil replied, thinking back to the storm he started 13 years before.

Otik saw the storm aproching and jumped out of the tree, "hey a storms coming, and by the looks on your faces you already knew that. So have any I dea were to go? Back to the shrine?"

"The shrine would be the best idea." Sel said. "Besides, we need to get Serene so we can leave anyway."
