[elementalhero76]

OOC: wow a lot went on when I was in school sorry i'll try to keep up from then on. Is it ok if i have some of you also in this part just for catching up I mean?

BIC:

Argus caught up with the others in the square....

Argus: sorry about the old man he tends to lose his cool sometimes. I talked to him and he still didn't care for my words either.

Zek: You weren't thrown out like the rest of us, how come?

Argus: I was raised by nobles as an orphen so I belong in the castle.

Zek: I see.

zek went back to his business.

Antheus: I see you ignored me earlier. What was that for after all these years we've been not seeing each other?

Argus: Sorry I didn't notice, even with these elven ears I tend not to pick up everysound ha ha!

Angulf came over with a sac of goods on his shoulder.

Angulf: Hey where have you been? We've been looking all over for you. You coming with us as a group or going it alone?

Argus thought it over and came to a desicision: No way I will go it alone for I only know the regions that antheus and I traveled when we were younger, but it seems you all know the continent better than I do. Don't worry though I have wide knoledge of magic. in fact I can cast in varieties of elementals Earth being my strongest.

The others talked amongst them selves and came to a descision:

Zek: Alright you're comming along. Just don't get in my way.

A guard came up to the five of us (not including NPCS) Is one of you argus?

Argus: I am him.

Guard: I brought your horse along with enough supplies for all of you a three months journey. Wisteryon says it may take longer but that is all that we can provide you.

Argus: Thank you. You may go.

The guard turned to leave but not before noticing antheus among the group. He shuddered, the guard not antheus, then he went on his way.

Argus :well now that I got my horse and now we have extra supplies hows about we get going? I can wait a while longer, but let's not leave at dark. It is not wise to do so.

[Darrellito]

Zek: Fine. You want to leave now? Then we'll leave now. But I warn you, there are monsters out there. Monsters that will tear you limb from limb. And if we leave now, we'll probably end up camping out there with them.
Angulf: Heh, they'll probably just think I'm one of them anyway. Off we go!

And with that, the adventurers set out to their first destination: The Valley of Mourners. They left by horse back, Angulf on Zek's horse, Antheus on Argus'. They traveled till dusk, and made up camp. They rested by a large oak. They each marked a symbol into the tree to mark they're journey. Long after this journey, they would become history.

Zek walk over to the side of the large oak.
Zek: The moss on the tree  points to north. *pointing west* We need to trek about 4 miles (about 8.8 km) west. There we'll find the entrance to the Cave of Desolation.
Angulf: If I'm not mistaken, We're traviling to the Valley of the Mourners.
Zek: We are. You have to travel through the Cave of Desolation to make it to the Valley.
Antheus: You sure no a lot about this land for being a convict.
Zek: I should. I lived in this land before I helped the king's army. I lead them to something that I will always regret...
Argus: What was it?
Zek:  I was leading them to an encampment of Frets.
Angulf: Oh yes, the fabled Fret tribe. They're the only group believed to have music sheets still intact.
Zek: Yeah, but they didn't want their sheets. They wanted them. They were going to take them back to our king and make them write music. They were going to put them into slavery.
Antheus: So when you found out, you killed your major?
Zek: I didn't kill my major. Something else did. I just don't know what. It's kind of a blur to me. My major invited me to talk with him...


FLASHBACK:
SETTING: They're in a open plains encampment.
MOOD: It's about sundown all that see is the stars, and candles burning in canvas tents.

The Major had previously spoken to Zek. He envited him to speak with him behind his own tent.

Major: Zek I wanted to speak to you about what you saw in my tent.
Zek: You plan on enslaving them? I thought we were just going to take their sheets!
Major: No, the king gave me specific orders to take them prisoner.
Zek: I'm sorry but I can't agree to help you anymore.
Major: Then I guess I'll just have to bring you to the King!
The major walked towards Zek, sword drawn. Zek reached behind himself and pulled his axe out of his harness. The major swung his sword at Zek. Zek blocked it with the head of his axe, and thrust it upwards, knocking the sword out of the major's hand.
Zek: I will not fight you!
Major: What? Is it against your tribe's code?
Zek droped to his knees. He laid down his axe to the ground, and then closed his eyes.
Major: Get up! He then punched Zek. Zek fell over, out cold
Major: Now look what you made me do! Your going to lead me to those Frets or I'll cut you limb from limb!
A dark figure moved behind the shadows. Grass rustled.
Major: Who's there?
The grass rustled behind the major, causing him to turn abruptly.
Major: This is Major Hendricks. I command you to come out of hiding
The dark figure showed itself to the major. It walked forward, coming into the light of the moon.
Major: Oh my god, what the hell is that!
: GRUUOWL!
The major backed up quickly triping as he hit one of his tent stakes.
Major: Oh god someone help! HELP ME!
The dark figure moved in on the major and let out a chilled howl.


FLASHBACK OVER

Zek:... And I woke up, covered in the major's blood. That was the only evidence they had on me. The major's body had been ripped to shreds. It was laying next to me, a heap of bones and muscle. A group of soilders came to find me there, sobbing.
Angulf: Wow, so I your a member of the Fret tribe?
Zek: Yes. I only led them to our encampment because they took my sister into captivity. She had been missing for 2 years, and I had searched for her. They told me they had found her wandering for scraps. Only after I was imprisoned did I know that they were lying.
Antheus: Whoa, that's rough.
Zek: Yes, well enough about my past. Why don't you give us a little incite about you Angulf?

[elementalhero76]

OOC: note my character has no knowledge of his parents i just have that here to tell what happened before his adoptive parents found him. I try to state that as clear as possible. Sorry that's its a long post. Had to keep editing it because I tend to hit something on the keyboard somtimes that acts as closing the window.

BIC:

Argus: yes I'd like to see how you gotten disfigured. I really don't think anyone cares to hear of my story, most nobles don't have interesting lives you know.

Angulf: Oh come on argus! You seem much more than an ordanary noble you are a half-elf after all!

Antheus: Please old pal i want to know as much as these two.

Zek: Yeah what are you chicken? Blak bwa!

Argus: I guess you are right it may be worth your time to hear my life.

A warp in time first to his unknown past...

It was spring in argus's home village of Hiemdall

Regulus(argus's father. A Human): "Kedara, you know it will be hard times for us now, now that argus is born!"

Kedara (argus's mother an elf): "I know regulus but as long as the people don't know that he is half-elf it will be alright."

Regulus: "How?! Surely they'll know that he was borne from your womb by my doing. They will banish you from the village! Hell! They will kill me for breaking the law! Hell! I would lose my position as commander of the Holy army for this!"

Kedara: "I know how you are upset but think of his future! Surely they will think differently if you just use your power to make it so."

Regulus: "I am sorry Kedara, I can't do anything for us. We either must give the child away or suffer the consequences."

Kedara: "No I won't let you. How could you think of such a thing?! After all the love we had for each other?!"

Regulus: "I am sorry. I was blinded by our love for each other. This should've never went on."

As they were arguing an elf guard heard it all.

It was reported to the chief of the town and that night all the elves of the village made an organized mob that burned down the homes of the elven families that gave birth to half-elves. Humans died along with those that broke the laws of the village. Argus's father faught to portect his wife even after all that he said. But he got killed by a fellow human officer. His officer then did the honors killing his wife as well. he heard their son Argus crying but decided instead of killing him as well, giving him up to the Hindales Which couldn't have children of their own.

Warp back to the present now for Argus's flashback.

Everyone: Start! We're listening.

Argus: As far as I can remember was I was 5 years of age being with my foster parents on a royal trip to the mage school in Alkippur.

Antheus: Go on.

Argus: Patience old pal! Patience! Ahem!

"My parents and Wisteryon and I were in the carrage that was taking us to the city."

Wisteryon: Your son is going to ba a power mage someday, I can see it in his future Lord Hindale.

Young Boy Argus: Mr wisteryon sir? Will I become as powerful as you someday?

Wisteryon: I shouldn't say not as powerful as me, but not so fast either. Maybe someday you will and you may be able to take my place as Chief Wizard.

Young Boy Argus: Really?

Wisteryon: Yes indeed I think so.

Lady Hindale: Ho ho ho! You sure encourage him too much Chief Wizard Wisteryon. I hate to see my son develop an ego at such an early age.

Wisteryon: Don't worry my lady, he'll be fine I can assure you that My old apprentice Ganlon at the shchool will teach him not to be bold in anything he does, for people are not perfect.

We all were silent for the rest of the trip for it was getting dark and we would arrive there by sunrise.

Antheus : go to the part of your past where we met at the school.

Argus: Alright alright! But you know more of my past at the mage's school more than I do.

Antheus: No you continue. I'll fill in when you get tired of speaking.

Argus: Ok. So When we all got there at sunrise Ganlon was standing at the front of the school's gates along with a kid much older than me standing next to him. Wisteryon got out and we followed.

Wisteryon: This is my old aprentice Ganlon.

"Ganlon was much younger than Wisteryon but was much taller thus, he looked like a giant to me at the time. Heck he might be half-giant/half-elf."

Ganlon: Hello Lord and Lady Hindale of the Holy Kingdom of  .So where is my newest student?

"I was so scared at the time that I hid behind my foster parents and then I moved over to Wisteryon who pushed me forword into Ganlon's right leg."

Boy Argus (young was too many times here in this post so snip it!): Oof! Waaaaaaah!

"I backed up scared half out of my wits. I probably wet my self at the time."

Ganlon: Heh. He is sure scared of me! No worries he will get used to this place after a while! Ha ha ha! Antheus!

Teen Antheus (15 yrs old): Yes teacher?

Ganlon: Show the Hindales around.

Teen Antheus: Yes teacher.

"We all followed the both of them into the school. I stayed close to my parents all the way."

"We got to the main training area where students were already practicing low level fire magic on practice dummies."

Ganlon: As you can see here my current students are practing their magic accuracy on targets. Antheus show them what you can do so they'll understand what they may hope their son can hope to achieve here.

Teen Antheus: With pleasure!

"I watched as you conjured a fireball with both of your hands and unleashed a beam of fire from it at a practie dummy. Its shadow was burned into the wall and it was nothing but ashes."

Antheus: I remember that well, you were astounded more than scared silly.

"Yes. I even ran up to you with excitement."

Boy Argus: Wow o wow! You just completely burned that! I really wish to become as strong as you Antheus!

Teen Antheus: Yes and I will help you every step of the way. You can believe those words that came forth from my mouth just now.

Boy Argus: Oh boy! My first friend! We are friends now aren't we?

Teen Antheus: Yeah sure. You can say that. Let's just say i am a brother you never had.

Boy Argus: Yay! I never had a brother before.

Teen argus: *Sigh* (This will be one long spring.)

Argus: Whew! Can you continue Antheus? Or can someone else tell part of their past? I am pooped!

Angulf: Well it's about time! Now its my turn.
