A Perilous Quest
14 years ago
This is just a teaser from one of my long standing Rps with one of my very good friends.
MysteryBBQ this is by far one of my favorite rps i do, worded out amazing and very long lasting. The story here has been really fun to do, i just wish there was an easy way to trace it all the way back and have the entire thing as a format so i could read it anytime. Anyways, this part was done recently and i think it is a good light summary of what has happened so far. tell us what you think!
Velast blinked as the old monk put his fingers on her head. She wanted to swat them away but she knew that if she insulted the monks they would never give the key willingly. Then there was a bright flash of light, it washed out her vision and almost made her stumble back. Whatever magic it was radiated out with a burst, knocking the others in chest just enough to force the breath from them for a moment. The saurian woman didn't notice that though, she couldn't see it or feel it, but instead her vision burned a bright white and it almost felt like she was flying... no, falling... or somehow somewhere in between the two, just moving through empty air far qucker then she could imagine and yet without moving at all. All the others would see is her standing there with the monk touching her brow, a bright light shining from where each finger made contact. Suddenly images began to fly though Velast's mind.
She saw the the small desert village from when she was young, stealing bread from the market to survive. The town faded and in it's place a tall city came into view, sandstone and mud brick with canopies of reds and oranges draped over the alleyways to keep out the burning desert sun. She was older there, adolescent. She saw herself pushing through the crowded streets, fleeing form a pair of guards who were shouting angrily for people to get out of their way. The city faded to night and she was on the rooftops now, again she was older, nearly grown now. She and a pair of others were running along the top of the city leaping from one roof to another, then leaping and climbing down when they reached the courtyard of wealthy home, the other two exiting with their steal, Velast grabbed by a household guard, finally breaking free of his grasp and following after the others. Celebrating. A different part of the city now and Velast looking the same age she actually is. Again she's fleeing from soldiers, she has blades in her hands now and she's fighting them off, but there are too many. One lands a blow and knocks her out. She awakes in a cell, a man comes on a frees her, but he's not who she expected. He doesn't untie her but instead carries her out. She's in a different building now, still bound but now looking up at a grotesquely fat man with tattoos and wearing gold. He's laughing and she's raging, shouting at him and screaming, trying to claw out of her cuffs. At the hand order a person dressed like a dishonoured mage arches from behind. Tow guards grab her and hold her still. THere's a searing pain as the wizard pressing a tinly burning coil of some silvery metal to the back of her neck, burning a spell into her skin to make sure she keeps to the quest the merchant has ordered her to complete. When the metal is emoted a faint scar is seen, but quickly heals over. There's no scar left but the spell still lingers. The room fades and again she's out int he desert. There's a rumble and a cry and she runs. Three giant sand worms and someone there fighting them. The worms are killed, the other person is Aleen. That night, their first time together. The coast now, boarding a ship... Rei's ship. A scene of mutiny, then later an explosion. Killing a dragon, fighting a town infested with ratkin. The university of mages, stealing their key. A city in the treetops, a council of bird-men, then a maze in the forest. Up north now, a city of orcs and fighting in pits. Heading south, finally reuniting. A friend nearly killed. More travel, and then the temple... but then there was more. Sudden pain, not physical but as if a part of her had been ripped away. Her vision was red rage now and there was the same giant snowy seen from her dream."

Oh man... I made so many typos in that post. Well I guess that shows me for not proof-reading it properly.
