Callith jumps up off the ground as Grunakin falls, he spots the party of orc and laughs at Kalamon. " You dared not risk both your best commanders against me, yet one is dead, and another 1500 elves were left as back up in the forrest, another 50,000 elven warriors are preparing from all over the world." The rest of the elves run into the battle fighting the montreses, whild some pick up the bows of the fallen and shoot down what they can, a wisened old elf comes out of the forrest and begins to chant in a low voice and lightning comes down on a group of heavy armoured orceans and it begins to rain. Callith and his forces fall back into the forrest in an organised unit, the archers raining death from the rear, the wisened old elf withdrew into the forrest after he cast and the attacking Montres are cut down by the shining stell of the elven blades, a group of orceans let launch with a volly off crossbow bolt and take down about twenty elves, while all but Callith pull out sheilds and the next volly bounce of armour, and as quickly as they struck, the elves vanished into the forrest and scatter.

"Let them run. Grunakin get up. A sword in your head....it's been worse before. Gheez", Kalamon says as Grunakin climbs to his feet. "Let them go. I know the orc known as Veralion is coming. Let him rescue them. We know not that they are getting Sevious and Moathia. Oh and Boremier over there. Go and knock him out. Untie him and throw him in the prison too.", Kalamon says. Grunakin rubs the back of his head. "Why sir?! You are letting their best chance of beating us escape. This is outrageous", Grunakin says. Kalamon raises his hand, "Silence. It's for the best. The elves and all are slowing us down. I'm falling behind my plans. The north is my next target and by letting those three go they'll withdraw. Even as we speak.....up north......our portals are almost complete. We'll emerge into the frozen northern continent. There resides barbaric humans, some dwarves, goblins, and a variety of other races. It is time to begin this", Kalamon says to Grunakin. Grunakin looks over at Crainter and shakes his head. "I understand sir", Grunakin says in acknowledgment.
Grunakin walks over to Boremier and says,"I've been wanting to do this." He raises both hands and knocks Boremier upside his head. Boremier rolls his head to his shoulder on the right and closes his eyes uncouncious. Grunakin picks him up and hoistes him over his back. He takes Boremier to the prison and opens the door up. He looks in at Moathia and snarles. "Do that again you little fool and die.", he says back. He throws Boremier in at Moathia and slams the door shut. Suddenly he looks back at Kalamon. "Now what about the elves in the forest?", Grunakin asks. "Easily dealt with. We leave the island. Order all the remain forces to enter the portal. This island has been a failure. But the north won't be.", Kalamon says. "Grunakin. I'll rally my troops. You get yours and hurry into the portal. As soon as Sevious and the other two are Rescued by Veralion we'll enter the portal and leave.",Crainter says. Grunakin nods. "And I will blow the portal", Kalamon says. Grunakin and Crainter nods and run off to rally the remaining orcaens and Montres'. "We must hurry.", Kalamon says to himself....

As Grunakin and Crainter run off. A noise can be heard above the roof as Servious and Moathia look up. Veralion falls through the roof and lands on his bum.
Ouch! Hmm... good to see you are all still alive....
Veralion gives Moathia a leer and ignors her as she tries to speak with him. Veralion throws Boremier up to his assasine, Tromen, and then the other orcs throw a rope down for Moathia and Helios to climb up on to the roof with.
Let us leave now. Make haste. We will take the back way out of this village and go around the fighting. As soon as we get out, you must stay close. We are going to the galley I first came here on... And from there we return to Trollsbane. Come now, and hurry!
Veralion climbs up the rope. He turns around and from the top of the roof, looks down at Grunakin. He turns, snarels, and heads off with the other orcs....

Elaralith watches as the orcaens mysteriously retreat under the hail of elven arrows and elven magic.
"They are not retreating because of losses...this is an omen that bodes ill I fear. But let us take down as many orcaens as possible before they all go!"
Elaralith suddenly blazes forth and reveals some of her inate power. Glowing an alarming bluish hue she lifts her hands to the heavens and chants some prayers to Elara. Blue flames come hurtling down to incinerate the evil orcaens, and leave them unable to cry out...

Kalamon peers up at the sky and shakes his head. "Damn you Elaralith. You shall not kill my men any more", Kalamon says as he raises his hands to the sky. He shouts an echoe throughout the whole area,"Foeh eirh ithe writ." Suddenly a red dome shaped barrier covers the whole camp area. Grunakin looks up at the sky as the giant flames hit the barrier. "Hurry Grunakin get your men out of here", Kalamon says as he holds his arms up towards the sky. Grunakin runs around the camp getting injured and healthy Orcaens up to their feet. "Grab your armor and weapons and run into the portal!", Grunakin says shouting. Soon the remaining 600 or so Orcaens start running for the portal and then jump into it at various times. The portal flashes as they jump into it. Crainter looks up at the flames and shakes his head. "Foolish Elara. Shouldn't interfere in human affairs.", he mumbles to himself. He walks causily up to the portal and takes one last look at the area around him. He brushes his hair out of his face. "So be it", he says as he walks into the portal. Grunakin finishes getting the rest of the others together and then he looks at Kalamon. "Everything is ready my Lord.", Grunakin says to Kalamon. Kalamon turns his head and looks at Grunakin with his glowing red eyes. "Good now go into the portal", he says. Grunakin nods and runs into the portal. The remaining Montres' run and jump into the portal too. Kalamon looks at the portal and lowers his arm. The dome shaped barrier still above his head, he walks towards the portal. He looks at the camp one last time and mutters,"This place won't be here as soon as I cross onto the other side." Kalamon then casts a spell and an energy ball flows out into the middle of the town. Kalamon then walks into the portal....and then the barrier disappears. Suddenly a redish bomb blows up. All around the trees burn. A fire spreds into the forest. Where the portal stood is now a giant crater.....Elves in the forest catch on fire.....falling to the ground screaming in pain......all life on the island is lost.....only the lucky few can escape...if they are fast enough.....Elaralith...Morgaine Le Fay...Veralion...Boremier...Callith...Moathia Nethiala....Sevious Helios they all must find a way to escape.....

Sevious looks outside as Kalamon walks into the portal and the magical spell explodes....all around them the forest set ablaze. Sevious quickly turns to Moathia. "Quick! Climb! We must get out of here.", Sevious says as he looks back out of the window. Sevious sits there and looks outside. Suddenly he begins to glow blue...and outside a blueish barrier sets up to protect the building. Sevious' eyes glow more ever than before. Pain tightens in his chest. Moathia peers at him. "Go now!", he says. Veralion, on top of the roof, Pulls Moathia up. "Hurry Sevious.", Veralion shouts back. Sevious lets go of his mind and the blueish barrier begins to fade. The glowing blue flame around him stays however. Sevious walks slowly to the rope. Veralion pulls him up. Soon they all climb off of the building's roof as the blue barrier is completely gone by then. Sevious' blue flame around him fades away and he falls to his knees on the ground. "Go on.....without me...", He says to Veralion, Moathia, Boremier, and the other bloodskulls....Sevious faints as he finally falls onto his stomach on the ground.

Elaralith is thrown back along with all the other Elves as a great explosion rocks the earth beneath her. She watches in horror as fire creeps quickly among the trees.
"Quick we must get off this island before we are doomed!"
Elaralith lets out a cry that eeringly resembles the cry of an eagle. Black dots in the sky come rushing down and reveal themselves to be Eagles.
"Mount the Eagles and let us be off! Morgaine, we must see to the others as well!"
Elaralith watches as others of the Elves let up similar cries and other bird-mounts come down to bear their callers to safety...

Hmm...Helios...you try to much...
Veralion picks Helios up and throws him over his shoulder. He looks around and sees elves burning and many dead bodies litering the ground. He then sees eagles fly down and pick up the remaining elves...
Stupid elves.. Think they can do anything and know everything...they are heading for a rude awakening...
Bloodskulls, lets get out of here. Helios and Boremeir are coming with us... Hurry now. We dont want to be burned to death. To the galley!
Veralion and the Bloodskulls, carrying Boremier and Helios on their backs, run through the forest and down the creek towards the galley that Veralion first came to the island on...

Moathia jumps off the building and runs quickly to the north, where the elven ships wait, as she arrives Callith appears at the head of fiftty wolves, who all run into the ship, and she then enters herself.

Veralion and the bloodskulls, whom are carrying Sevious and Boremier on their backs, run up into their galley as the fire races behind them. The fire reaches the beach line and starts to burn higher than before. Veralion pulls the wooden walk board back up into the ship. He sets down Sevious and so do the other bloodskulls with Boremier. Sevious rests up against the side of the ship. Slowly he comes to his surroundings. It is intensely hot and he is sweating intensely. He looks around slowly with blury vision and sees Boremier still knocked out and Veralion giving orders to his fellow bloodskulls to get the ship away from the island quickly. Sevious tries to climbed to his feet but falls back down from being dizzy. "Veralion.....what is going on?....and Where's Moathia....?", Sevious asks with a weak voice....Veralion turns around with his eyes open wide and says to Sevious....

Callith appears on deck behind Moathia and hugs her "I'm glad your alive, I thought I told you not to do somthing stupid like that!" Sh apologises and he hugs her again. "I'm sorry my girl, I don't mean to shout, I'm your blood kin, and I only want to keep you safe, promise you wont do anything stupid, again, for anyone. Even me. " He asks her and she promises, and he smiles before standing next to her, watching the isle of Trollsbane get closer.

From their lofty perch up in the air Elaralith and Morgaine can see that the others are safe and well on their way. They bid farewell to the other Elves as they go to find a new home in another elven colony. The winds rush past and the land below becomes a blur as Elaralith and Morgaine travel swiftly home to Trollsbane with their hearts lighter knowing that Sevious is safe.
"Trollsbane will be welcome after these horror filled days...At least for now we can rest assured, and hope for another day."
They soar onwards on their Eagles and are far ahead of the others as they travel back to Trollsbane. In no time they arrive home and the adventures are over...for now.

by Niniane
After the fair elf leaves her company, Niniane sits thoughtfully in her bedchamber as she mulls over the updated struggles and happenings that have been reported throughout the town as they filter down the mountain and back to the safety of Trolls Bane. Niniane ponders curiously at the tales of some members of the expedition still fighting gallantly on the mountain many miles from their home, yet recalls seeing more than one walking the streets of their home town in the past days.
"How can this be?" she wonders. "On a mountain saving Sevious and walking the streets of our town in the same day? Surely there is a mistake, or is this all a fictional tale meant to bring enjoyment to our small town? If this is the case, it is a horrible joke they are playing on our lives! Dear Sevious, are you really in danger? When will you return home?"
"Maybe the tales have been embellished as they have in the past as they are passed from mouth to mouth on their return home. Could these people only be there in the imaginations of others who have told and retold the story, and this explains why they are in our town nearly every day? Or is their some other magic working here? Teleportation, as Elaralith calls it. If there is Teleportation at hand, why is it not used to remove all those in danger from the mountain and back to the safety of our town? Why are they making poor Sevious suffer unduly if they have this magic trick in hand?!"
Niniane sits thoughtfully in her chair close to the glowing fireplace well into the night contemplating these mysteries. As the night fades into dawn her head slowly slumps forward, resting heavily on her arms as she drifts into an uneasy sleep.

Servios... Well I... She ran north with the other elves... I suppose she did not wish to accompany us... Um.. I am sure she is well. Anyways, you need to rest. Do so now. We have a few days until we reach home...
We will talk when you awake Helios. Sleep friend...
Veralion gives Helios a small grin, hopeing Moathia is well. He turns around and tends to Boremeir.

Moathia runs into trollsbane hoping to find Sevious, but she finds Elaralith, and runs up to hugs her sobbing softly.

Boremier awkes to see Veralion and Sevious he looks around and says :"W-where am I? Ahh! my headhow did we get away from Kalamon?"

by Elaralith
As Elaralith walks the town she notices curious disbelieving looks as the tale is related but she dismisses these doubtful ones who do not understand from her mind. After meeting up with Moathia, she longs to have peace away from crowds...she goes into the forest and decides she has had enough of adventures to last a long while...

Sevious opens his eyes after a long sleep and looks around. Boremier is also awake by now. "W-where am I? Ahh! my headhow did we get away from Kalamon?", Boremier asks. Sevious looks at him. "By chance....actually he retreated.....I don't know what blocked the building from the blast......Whatever it was sent me down to my knees and made me faint....some powerful force.", Sevious says back to Boremier. Veralion and the other bloodskulls are busy about the ship keeping it above the waters while Sevious continues to talk with Boremier. "From what I heard......something will happen...soon.....this isn't over...yet", Sevious says with a blank look on his face. "We must find out more about where and when he will attack next....I have a feeling it may be the north...", Sevious says again. He looks back up at Veralion and Boremier. "What do you two think?", Sevious asks Veralion and Boremier.

by Boremier
Boremier looks at Sevious and says : "Well all I know is that Crainter wants to destroy everything." He looks down and says : "All the time I thought Kalamon killed my father." Boremier walks back and forth and then says : "Sevious wherever you must go to destroy Kalamon I will go to to avenge my home kingdom and my father by killing that traitor Crainter!"

"Cainter? Was he...the figure in black with golden swords? He looked very much alive....like a human.....Kalamon is a lich...I know of this...and Grunakin is an orcaen....but....Cainter a human?", Sevious thinks to himself. "Oh and I'm sorry to hear about your father....I'll help in anyway I can.....It seems I have a few scores to settle with Kalamon too.....it seems a reign of terror has begun...my bets are...we are doomed from the start....the barbaric peoples of the north are not united and the human kingdoms in the east are....into their own little thing to pay to much attention to the world around them....the only kingdom...if it's like the way it was....that will be able to do anything....at least slow Kalamon down in his conquest....would be Darishnia...my home.", Sevious says back to Boremier. "Other than that...the elves won't help....the orcs probably won't do anything...Veralion here would help with the bloodskulls but if anything....the other orc tribes of this world would just give their support to Kalamon....and...hobbits or halflings as you will....will not do much....they are not skilled in the art of war....dwarves are to into their own mining and underground activities to actually give a damn about the world above them...same with Lizard men....the mysterious deeps of the seas only blinds them of the surface.....if anything....I say we're all doomed...", Sevious says as he trails off into thought. "Moshran may just finally get this world as his own...", Sevious says one last time. He awaits for Boremier to respond.

by Boremier
Boremier looks at Sevious and says : "We will do what we can to stop Moshran taking over this realm as long as I am alive I will not let it happen." He then looks into the sky and thinks to himself: "Father what would you do?" Boremier then looks back at Sevious and says : "Well if we are going to follow Kalamon and Crainter we should start training when we get back to trollsbane." He puts his hand on Sevious' shoulder and says to him : "Do not worry we will defeat Kalamon."

"Don't get your hopes up....like I said....only us humans will be able to fight back...", Sevious says looking at Boremier again. He climbs up to his feet and walks to the front of the ship and looks out over the foggy sea. "Time is running out....It's not really Moshran that is our enemy...but Kalamon...he is powerful...no one can defeat him...it is said that a person of a pure heart can......one of his own race...Kalamon was human....but I still have yet to find such a person...Moathia back in the prison said I have one....but yet...I don't know. Maybe I do...maybe that is why my eyes glow blue...maybe that is why....I am different from the others.....maybe just maybe...", Sevious says trailing off. "Well...I know many lives will be lost.....the time is coming....we will face off against him...I have plans....When I get back to trollsbane...I'm going to inform the people....of what is going on....then gear up....and leave for the North....I will go to Parthia...the only civilized kingdom in the north....and assisst them...", Sevious says again. "Maybe someone will join me to the north...or I will go alone.", he says again. "I just know that only us humans really can decide the fate of our world for now....", Sevious says once again....

Boremier again looks at Sevious and reply's by saying :"I will go with you Sevious. Even if you wish for me not to I will go even if I have to follow you." He looks at the sea he turns and says to Veralion : "Have you any weapons that I can use veralion?"

by veralion
Veralion snaps out of his daydreaming and responds to their questions in a low and soft voice...
I know what will happen... I heard everything said before I happened to fall in through the roof to find you... We must take a visit to my island before we return to Trollsbane. It shall not be more than 3 or 4 days, so do not worry. I am sure the elves will have everyone worked up back home...
Below decks there are a few weapons and some armor Boremier...but you will not need them yet. I bet you two are hungry... I know I am! Let us all go below deck and have ourselves a good meal... And I just happen to have 6 beers of my own brew left over.
Veralion smiles and chuckles a bit. And then he begins to head below deck....

by Sevious Helios
Sevious looks up at Veralion. "Head to your island? I don't think we have the time....well at least not now....maybe perhaps in a week time...I'm eager to return home to see some old faces....I've pretty much know who I am now....Kalamon tried to posion my mind....but I know what is wrong now...I just now our only chance of fighting back is actually fighting back...taking up arms....not hiding on Trollsbane...the others must be warned...I don't know if the elves have said anything yet to the others...I'm eager....really eager...to see some people...", Sevious says as he thinks to himself. He looks at Veralion and nods. "But overall I think that beer sounds good. Let's get some", Sevious says lighting up a bit and looks back at Boremier. Boremier nods to and all three of them walk under the deck and sit down at a wooden table. "So...Veralion...what do you think about all this that we've found out..",Sevious asks Veralion.

Veralion chugs some of his beer and looks down at the meat on the table.
Well, I don't really know... This will be a hard battle to win... And I don't think we have the numbers to win altogether. Kalamon has thousands of Orceans in the other world just itching to come take our heads and stick them on a steak and hold as prizes... Hmm... It has truely been a long while since i've seen Grunakin. Last time we met up, he was looking up to me in battle, I was stronger... and now... I don't know how much strength I can have... Some of the time we were fighting..... I wasn't there... I blacked out and came to, only knowing little that happened. Oh well...
Kalamon wants you Helios... And Grunakin wants me, and I'm sure Crainter wants to finish the line of Boremiers family... It's all quite scary... I don't know what to do. I don't know where I stand on all of this...
Veralion takes a bite of some meat and a spoonful of his onion soup and looks up in curiousity, seeming lost...
What do you two think of me and what I should do now?...
Posted: Wed Mar 19, 2003 11:57 pm
by Sevious Helios
Sevious looks up at Veralion and thinks. "I take it you want our opinion on you and Grunakin? I guess he wants you dead like you think. Kalamon same as me and I'm not so sure what the deal with Cainter is....I know these three men are the ones who are coming after us. More than likely kill us three if the get the chance...I know we only have on choice. Well I am still thinking of what to do but I'm not sure. For now I'm just in a state where I have formed a hard shell...one I am in to think. I've been scarred alot lately...physicaly mostly....", Sevious says as he looks at his arms and shoulders.
He puts his hand down on the beer and pulls it up to his mouth and takes a little sip from it. Some things run across his mind as he sips it. "We must come up with what we're going to do about this...You heard he's headed North...then that is my next visit. I've got to at least slow down this conquest..", Sevious says to the other two. Sevious pulls the bottle up to his lips and takes another sip again. He sets it back down and lets out a little belch. "How about you Bormier. What do you think?", Sevious says as he moves his eyes over to Boremier.

Veralion notices Boremeir suddenly starts snoring at the table and laughs and turns back to Helios.
Friend Helios. I want to show you my island... After that, we can return to Trollsbane... And then we can go north, or whereever you feel you need to be... I don't know what I should do. So yes... What do you wish to do?
Veralion stealthily reaches over and takes some of Boremeirs food as he is asleep, laughs again, and eats it as he awaits a reply from Helios....

Sevious looks at Boremier and thinks to himself. Then he looks up at Veralion and grabs a chicken leg from Veralion's hand. He smiles and starts munching on it. "If you want to head to your island then let us. I just hope by only making this decision we have enough time to get back and then head to the north. I plan on heading to the north based on what you have heard from Kalamon....but after we go to your island we must return back as soon as possible. We'll need to get a few warriors from trollsbane to come with us. I fear we will need some help of the others in the north. At least showing the barbarian humans what is going to happen to them will need the help of more civilized humans or perhaps maybe even an elf since the only elves up north are Ice elves...", Sevious says. He then looks at a plate in the middle of the table with one last chicken leg. Suddenly he and Veralion grab for it at the same time....

Veralion beats Helios to the last leg of meat and then smacks him on the head and begins laughing. With one bite, he chomps all the meat off of it. He swallows hard, chugs Boremeirs beer down, and looks back to Helios.
We shall go as I planned then. And do not worry. We will board my personal ship when we get to my island. It will take us back home in no time. Ooooooh, I'm tired. I think I'll be off to bed now. Anything else you'd like to discuss before I head to rest?
