A mystery unleashed - Playground 29 - Last entries

Curtains raised!

Megil wandered over to where Celia and Sel were,

"What do you guys have in mind for him? Dunno why you'd try and heal the bloke."

Niran, having followed them out with nothing to do in the cave thought about that.

That's like asking why she heals me when I'm injured, she just does.

Celia wiped sweat from her brow as she finished healing. She snapped at Megil, "I'm only doing this because Sel asked me to!" She glared at Sasal. "Mara help me, I am not one for killing, but this man is an enemy." She stood up, rubbing her sore arms. "I'm tired, so are we leaving this place or not?" she asked softly, though a little grumpily. "I plan to have a good sleep without any unnecessary interruptions."

"Gwah, well alright then I was just curious," Megil snapped back rolling his eyes, "And I have no idea when we are geting of this god forsaken island."

He turned and saw moonblade.

"Oh yah meet the new guy, something moonblade. Moonblade, this is Celia."

OOC: i think everyone is tired and grumpy O.o

Niran gave an angry look at Megil

"Hey don't snap at her!"

But then he turned to Celia.

"Why in the world are you so angry with Megil? I don't get it!"

"Don't tell me not to snap at her, I can snap at whomever I feel like, honoured user" spat back at Nrian.

Niran stepped up Megil, and suddenly grabbed the dunmer by the shirt.

"Whoever now excludes Celia," and he let go, stepping back.

"You .... i'm tired of your godam emotional B.S." Megil said, Before landing a punch squarely across Niran's face.

Niran stepped back after the punch hit him, the quickly stepped forward and hit Megil back across the face.

"I'm tired of your - no I'm just plain tired of you."

Megil recoiled, but then threw himself at Niran, knocking both of them on the ground. Megil then proceeded to punch Niran while yelling,

"You insolent bastarde"

"Get off me!" Niran yelled, pushing Megil off though he was tempted to punch back again. Seeing as how the dunmer had bloodied up his face already.

Jumping to his feet, he put his hand on the hilt of his sword, but didn't unsheath it.

"Stop, unless you want a fatality to result from this." he said, wiping his bloody lip with his free hand.

He was actually hoping Megil would continue.

Megil rolled on his back and looked up at Niran, his eyes already kindled in rage. Then Megil began to laugh, a sick, twisted laugh that you would expect to ehar only from a mental person.

"You, the cowardly Niran, kill someone." Megil said wiping his hand across his bloody nose, "You couldn't kill a fly"

Megil staggered to his feet, and threw another punch at Niran.

OOC: Int. chaos. put thoughts in Italics much easier to tell apart from speech.

Jace surveyed the situation "Damn, they really don't like eachother" He thought to himself somewhat reminded of Gerrit and Brink.

Otik walked over to Jace, "Yes they do that all the time, I think we've been on the island long enough. Well, I might as well go in and break it up, I don't what Celia to get over taxed" Otik started his aproch over to the fight

(Gamer you can stab him now )

(OOC: I was kidding.)

Niran grabbed hold of Megil's fist, and pushed the dunmer back.

Pulling out his sword, he struck Megil on the head with the flat of the blade.

Then he threw it to the ground and threw himself at Megil, punching at the dunmer.

OOC: just call me stomache ache

Jace deciding it had gotten violent enough jumped in front of Megil and put his arm out to shield himself. "We've got hard enough of a job as it is without bickering amongst ourselves!" he yelled at Niran while shielding his face.

Megil grabbed moonblade by the shirt, not himself anymore.

"Let it finish," he pushed moonblade aside. Megil spun low with his leg, trying to trip niran.

Otik hurried there, fumbled with his amulet of paralization and paralized the two of them, both Niran and Megil. "Now that you two can't do anything, why don't you both cool down and not kill each other."

Otik helped Jace up on his feet and said "now we wait until the spell wares off, shouldn't be to long, I just use it to get myself out of a pinch, kind of like that one."

(OOC:yes I know, lame way to settle this )

(OOC: Is Otik mentally challenged or something, he should know that this will only anger Niran more . . oh, you just wait until that spell wears off. Oh and by the way, Niran is now developing a resistance to paralyzation because it is used on him so often. )

Niran was unable to move, Otik wouldn't get away with this.

Rycarin woke up with a slight thud. "We're here.", the rider said with his rugged voice. Rycarin stood slowly up, and walked out of the Siltstrider. After paying the rider, Rycarin noticed that it was sunny. "A good omen, I would hope.", he said to himself, before taking the road to Ebonheart.

Megil couldn't move, he cursed in his mind.

I'll kill him, I will

Jace after being helped up dusted himself off. "I suppose I won't mess with things I don't understand...." he mumbled "Besides it looks like things are being taken care of now. We really need to be off."

Megil could feel the muscles begin to move, he didn't hesitate instead pushed himself up into Niran, wrapping his hands around the man, and then began to run, dragging the man along with him for the boulder, and the hill on the otherside.

Niran's eyes widened, the spell was only just starting to wear off on him.

His eyes darted around, but he still couldn't move enough to escape.

Jace scratched his head and looked around

Wow, what a pretty unfocused bunch

OOC: Is;nt there a main storyline we should be indulging in

"Hey Jace, you alright? those two go at each other alot, and unless you are going to do something other then literally jump in at a time like this, then stay out of the way. had better watch my back for a while, they are bound to be pissed at me."

Otik sat down on a rock, looking for something to eat in his sack.

Sel watched the fight, rather amused. But just so nobody would die, he swiped the sword back form Niran.

"I knew that was a damned mistake." Sel said, referring to the fact that he gave Niran the sword.

He ignored the paralyzed couple and began talking to Celia. "Go get some sleep." he said for two reasons. One, she was obviously tired, and two, her grumpiness was actually starting to scare him. "I'll watch Sasal."

OOCL I just skipped billiions of people. I shall edit if mine conflicts...it really shouldn't but you never know.

Megil smirked, It wasn't too far now.

The boulder was just there, Megil let go of Niran, his inertia pushing him over the edge and down the hill. Megil tried to stop, but being muddy he slid, and his foot caught the edge of the boulder and megil tripped and was flung into the air only to come crashing down on the hill, the air being knocked out of him. Megil and Niran rolling the rest of the way down the hill. small shrubs and rocks scratched scratching and slamming into their body.

Megil managed to roll over and lift himself up into a crouch. he touched the corner of his mouth and looked at his hand. which now had blood on it. Smirking, his teeth all covered in blood and spit, Megil began laughing with the same twisted laugh as before. He looked over at the limp body that was Niran's.

A few hours later, Rycarin had arrived in Ebonheart. He walked to the Six Fishes, where he was sure to find something... useful to do.

As he entered the tavern, the bartender greeted him with a smile. Rycarin walked to the Wanted list and noticed a rather peculiar name, with a rather high bounty. "1 million?!", Rycarin shouted with obvious shock. "What has this guy done? Killed the Emperor?!" Rycarin was still quite surprised that a person had ever had such a high bounty on his head, but he had to admit that it would have to be quite a challenge. He ran out the door, and headed to the docks.

Rycarin approached one of the ship captains to ask him to take him to Ald Daedroth. "Sorry, I can't take you that far. The closest I can take you is Dagon Fel. It would take several days, unless I recieve a little.. motivation to get there...", one of the captains said. "Take me there in less than 2 days, and I'll pay you a thousand septims.", Rycarin said and smiled at the captain. "It's a deal!", the captain said and headed to his ship, with Rycarin right behind him.

Jace was both confused and a little frightened by Megil's insane actions.

"Megil? Hey, what in oblivion? This is getting serious"

Otik looked up from his bag and saw Jace looking down th hill, He tossed his bag aside and looked down the hill. "I don't know, I know he's been pissed off before, but this is completely different. it almost like he's gone insane!"

Otik stood there shocked, he turned to Jace, "if you got a good I idea, then i would suggest that know would be the time to do it."

The fall was hard, Niran slammed into several more rocks before coming to a natural stop, his body badly bruised and broken. His skull cracked from the impact of a large jagged rock.

Niran's body lay there, a soulless form.

Or as you might call it, dead.

(OOC: Sorry, I have to go soon. Celia would have been too tired to heal him anyway.)

Jace looked in fear and amazement at the corpse of his new companion. He didn't like him too much but he didn't wish him dead. He only looked at the body and then at Megil in silent amazement.

Megil stood up shakily, and made his way to the body. Niran wasn't breathing, Megil figure dit was a jest, and began to poke Niran, When that didn't work, he began to slap Niran ont he side of the face.

"Wake up, OY! Wake up." he said anxiously to the body. I wasn't working, Niran was gone.

Megil stood, he had never murdered someone, never killed in cold blood, the realization slowly sank into megils mind. he just stood there staring out into thin air, speechless.

a small voice at the back of his head, consoled him. before letting out a twisted laugh.

I'll be back was the last thing it said, before it banished, behind the cackling laughter.

Otik slid down the hill, seeing that Megil seemed to have snapped out of what ever had him. Otik called up to Jace, "HEY!! come down here and help Megil up the hill! He looks dazed!" Otik hefted Niran's body up on his sholder and made his own, safer, way back up the muddy hill.

Jace somewhat dazed by the turn of events listened to Otik and went over to Megil to help him up the hill again. "Hey it's alright" He said quietly to Megil "You didn't mean to"

Celia nodded, and decided to take Sel's advice. Niran and Megil were still fighting when she had went back inside into the shrine. Not aware of anything, she walked down the corridors until she was by Serene's side.

After putting some pieces of cloth on the hard floor, she laid down, said a few prayers to Mara and some of the other Nine Divines, and fell deeply asleep.

(OCC: G'night, guys!)

(ooc: night mergirl, oh and everyone else, i think that it should be officially "night time" in the rpg. for no definate reason. well night all)

Otik made his way to the top the hill and set Niran's body by a tree, and sat on a rock staring out at the stars.

Megil turned, eyes devoid of emotion, and looked into Jace's face, he didn't say anything, just watched as if Jace wasn't there, into the dark horizon. Then he turned and climed up the hill, and curled up on the cold hard floor, and tried to sleep. his face and body bloody, soaked, and muddy.

sasal was inshrouded in the invigorating moonlight as it reflected off is armor.

he soon walked away from the group as he removed his cuirass and greaves. he revmoved all his armor and bathed cautiously as he looked for any slyphs near by

as sasal bathed in the sea water, it stung due to all the minor cuts that were left. he soon came form the waters and dried himself off with by summoning a flame atronach to stay by him as he sat on the floor and secretly chanted a few prayers in a ashlander tongue and prayed for a safe journey home.

in the middle of his prayers, his dragon landed by his side to keep him warm

Rycarin stood on the deck of the ship, gazing into the distance. Stars were shining, somewhere out there, and the twin moons were as beautiful as ever.

Rycarin could hear something in the depths of his mind. A voice. Faint, but there. He couldn't concentrate, but it was hard to hear what it said. It did sound feminine, though. He decided to set the matter aside, for now, and went back under deck, to get some rest.

Megil's dream were tormenting him. a man in a with red hair and a goatee was in it. He wore a gren vest and carried a walking stick. he would walk in and out of the dream, bringing with him confusion and chaos, separating and twisting Megil's memories and mind. It was agonizingly painful, yet enjoyable, in fact it was every emotion, and at the same time it was no emotion. Reality was crumbling away like a weak foundation in the sand.

"Welcome Megil," he would say, "To my world. Isn't it beautiful"

He then 'faced' Megil "Its only after we have lost everything, that we are free to do anything."

Megil stirred in his sleep, not being able to settle in any one position.

as sasal chanted his prayers, he herd some grass and dirt shuffling which interupted his prayers.

soon he climed the hill he was resting on, only to find megil struggling and and shifting in his sleep

"what disturbed his sleep" sasal said, only to noticed megil's wounds
and his tattered clothes

"ohh well..." sasal mumbled as he droped from where he clung and readied his equipment and his dragon.

Jace was oddly chilled by Megil who did nothing but stare at him in an empty sort of way, as if he was not seeing what he was looking at.

Jace just stood there and watched Megil walk slowly and souleslly walk up the muddy hill and lie down and sleep.

And for the first time in his life he realised his own mortality. That he could actually die and then be no more. That he had taken life though not innocent ones...

Jace just sat frozen in thought. He then sat on the ground where he was and some hours later fell asleep, visions of death dancing through his head.

Shakur woke, dazed and confused. He was lying on what felt like grass, Leki knows where though. He tried to open his eyes but it felt like they were stitched together. He stood for a few seconds but he fell onto his back. He was weak, suffering from vertigo and could very well be dying. Shakur got the strength to open his eyes, and could only see white. "Dfuung! Whag, whog... uhg!" the words came out of his mouth, and they meant nothing. Nothing, except he was in an altered state of mind. No he thought, no I will not die like this. And suddenly, his vision came back. but it was, different. He could see much better than normal.

Shakur stood, shakily, but stood. He felt around his body, and felt no wounds or gnashes. He felt his head. Something was wrong. No scars, no roughness, his face was smooth and untouched. And his once bald head was, covered in dreaded locks of black hair. "Jusf like when ig was young" he stuttered, and then noticed another oddity, he was wearing no armour, only beutifully tailored clothes and there was a wolf hair robe with his old ebony full helm and an ebony ring sitting upon the robe.

Shakur layed back down upon the ground, and pulled the robe over his body like a blanket. He would sleep now, and worry later.



(I too will sleep now, for it is 11:46. Night all)

Sel stood wide-eyed at Niran's corpse. Had Megil really done that? Sel admitted to himself that he had no love for Niran, but that didn't mean he deserved death. Megil wasn't who he appeared to be, obviously.

He walked over to Niran's body, and began to dig beside it. He would have a proper burial before he was avenged.

And he would be avanged. Megil had no right to kill him, whatever the Imperial had done. Sel found himself regretting the fact he hadn't interfered.

He spent hours digging, and soon had a decent grave dug. He placed the body in, but didn't replace the dirt. He took Niran's sheath and connected it to his own belt - two weapons was always better than one, and a sword was a fine replacement for the dagger Arcyakt stole.

OOC: watch out Megil. Sel isn't really doing it for Niran as much as he is for the fact that Megil kind of murdered someone, and Sel wants justice....

I didn't cover Niran's grave, just in case gamer10 wanted him to resurrect or something.

Konrad walked out to see Sel digging Niran's grave. He didn't ask what had gone on, just sat on the hillside and watched Sel drag Niran's body into it.

Arneth had watched all the happend, he had a hard time accepting that one in the group just killed another. He walked over thoe cliff edge to see that Sel had made a grave for Niran, he looked over at Sel...

"How could this happend?" Arneth said confused, he had already seen how Niran could act, and that a fight was going to happen wasn't a surprise, but that it ended by killing him.

"Hey, we're here. Get up!", the captain shouted. Rycarin stood up and got himself off the boat, happy to be back on land. He pulled out a potion from underneath his cloak, a Water Walking potion, so he wouldn't have to swim all the way to Ald Daedroth. Rycarin drank the potion, and immediately started to sprint the fast as he could without tiring himself too much. "Should take an hour or two, I guess I should rest a bit on the way, and take another potion later as well.", he thought to himself whilst sprinting to Ald Daedroth on the water.

(OOC: 1337. Not long now.)
