*Chaos is running rampant. Marius senses it. He sees through the eyes of the other warriors. We are losing the battle. And what of the other two curses? Marius tries to stand. Feeling himself began to fall, he braces himself against the wall.*

"My place is out there. I must fight....not so much as to win, but to protect those I love, and those I may soon come to feel for."

*He unsheaths his sword with his left hand, feeling rather odd about it, since he had never used his left hand for anything but magick. He starts to walk, rather limp, bracing himself with his right shoulder towards the castle entrance. He then falls to the ground, too weak to walk. His sword is dropped. Determined to help those whom he cherishes, Marius pushes himself off the ground and begins to crawl, cringing in pain each time weight is put on his right arm. The wound where is hand was once is now freely bleeding. His vision blurs, but he is determined. He continues to crawl, only to collapse to the hard, cold floor.*

*Merely rises. Using Midnightsorrow for a human crutch he manages to stand again.* Lets go! *Merely and Midnightsorrow run for the town.*

*Merely has been running on adrenaline for hours now and his legs feel like rubber. He know that if he doesnt hurry he will collapse and never be able to make it. The only thought of his friend keeps him going.*

*Dodging between tress and bushes. The two wolfs dart throught the night. They are determined to make it to the town.*

WE MUST SNEAK IN. I DONT HAVE THE STRENGTH TO GO THROUGH THE FRONT GATE AND NEITHER DO YOU MY DEAR.

*They make it to the outskirts of the town. They stop and scout the area for zombies and a back entrance. Sensing none the take a galloping jump and scale the town walls. Running to the castle. Once inside they find Marius lying. Blood has covered the floor and Marius's tan skin is as pale as the snow that Merely and Midnight trampled.

(feels Marius and his presents fading)we are fucked(kills 2 more zombies) with that the total amount of the 300 church zombies have been cut to less then half


(keep in mind i can not count all the ones we killed and didn`t count)

(sees the zombies coming form cemetry) SHIT SHIT SHIT (pulls out flask and take a quick drink seeing as it my be his last)


(ooc,some one post i am borad talking to myself)

*Opening his eyes barely, with all the strength left in him almost, he sees his friend, Merely, and a new one, although he sensed her for some time now. He starts to get up, but falls once again to the ground, unconcious.*

*gasps in horror at the sight of Marius's bleeding body; then rushes to his side and checks the severity of his wounds..her eyes and face vunerable and open..then looking to Merely...*

Come help me we need to move him to a clean spot on the floor; grab bandages and blankets. I can't heal his hand completely tis not in my power, though I can make the bleeding stop and speed everything.
*with Merely helps she moves Marius onto a rug near the corner; then pushing up her long bell sleeves; reveling strong, slender pale arms and hands faintly scarred and tattooed in blue ink with symbols and endless delicate knots; touching her palms together and whispering a few faint ancient words she tenderly places her fingertips on either side of Maruis's head upon the his temples; then with a final deep breath she closes her eyes begins.......
....drawing upon her powers she slowly works her way through his mind and body; absorbing his pain...in mind and body..peeling away the death clinging to him and channeling it into her own body...loosing track of herself she pushes the limits of her own body then mind....ignoring the feeling of her hands blistering and starting to burn...ignoring Merely gasps of shock...seemingly oblivious to her own voice with cries out from her body in pain; she pushes until the begins to force her own healing life energy back down into Maruis's body....the intestity of her pain and the new absorbed assulting her body and mind growing worse with every breath...she forces herself until she breaks...the bright white glow fading from both their bodies she drops onto her side, gasping, desperate for breath..her hands bloody, burnt.....her green-amber eyes deep with pain as she lays whimpering next to the resting Maruis*

....I've done all I could Merely....

*Merely looks at midnightsorrows failing body. Then to Marius. Merely senses he must feed before he attempts to help either of the two. Merely jumps out of the window and scales down the wall. The bloodlust is high now. Rabbits and rats can not satisfie him. He must find a villager. Merely goes into one of the houses and sees a woman lying on the ground. A nearby zombie is chewing on her child. The child is dead luckly. Merely walks over to the woman and bends down overtop of her. She looks up at him, she is out of it, Merely can see it in her eyes. Shes dellusional. She starts calling Merely an angel.* Does she really think that? The angel of death maybe. *Merely grins and chomps down on her neck. Removing the thick red life force that once flowed freely through her vains. He stands. Renewed and ready to fight. He looks at the zombie. Within the blink of an eye he is behind the creature and ripping it apart.* The arm bones connected to the, foot bone, the foot bone.... *he says as he pulls the zombie apart.* Now its time to take care of my castle guest. *Merely dissappears from that area, reappearing inside the castle.* *Looks down at Midnightsorrow. Merely holds his wrist over her mouth and tears at it with one finger. The blood drips down into her mouth.* Yes drink up my sweet....we might need you later. *grins evily* How gulible of you to believe i was a sympathetic creature. Tis funny, one who speaks so much about masks could not see through the one i was wearing. *laughs* *Merely then drags her down into the dugeon where he chains her up.* Dont think about praying for your goddess to rescue you. And dont think that a majikal chant can break these chains. For they were forged in the fires of hell my darling. And only the key can open them. and not even Marius knows where i have hid it. Now im going to make a few "slight" inscesions to insure that you dont get all of your strength back before im ready for you to be free again. *Merely takes his long, claw like finger and grases them down her chest to her stomach. The wounds open and bleed all over her dress.* Blood blood blood blood, splitter splatter pitter patter. *Merely muses.* Well goodnight, sweet nightmares and dont let the vampires bite....too hard. *gins*

*Merely then walks upstairs to find Marius awake* Ah....rise and shine valentine.

*then the voice of a small girl exits from Merelys mouth*

Marrie......what happened? OH MY GOD....that poor girl...i gotta go down there.

*Merely runs down the steps*

Hold on a minute....please dont die....

*She searches under her jester hat for somthing*

Here...the key!

*She unlocks the chains.*

Unc Mere can be mean sometimes.

*midnights body falls to the floor. Sara/Merely runs to a near by bottle on the wall. It is filled with a crimson liquid.*

Here drink this...itll make you better!

*Midnight drinks the vial and slowly regains herself. Sara/Merely lies midnights head in her lap and pets her hair. She sings a soft childish tune.*

Mommy usta sing to me when i felt bad....

*tears fall from Saras face down onto Midnights cheek.*

*in blazing soul shattering pain Midnight's dimly hear the childish voice holding her; only the bitter taste of betrayl burns down her throat; her body now weaken beyond all repair she slips slowly downward under the waves of never ending sorrow and pain..memories drag her under; unable to fight any longer she senses tastes the blood salt of tears...far too many to remember; coughing weakly she turns her head refusing the liquid..opening her green-amber eyes she sees her blood pouring over the cold stone floor...*

~~...never trust.....anyone..never help....never love....again and again...all a cycle....i did both...now i pay with my soul's blood.....Goddess..into your arms i wish to rest....forgive me...Mother...~~

*surrendering into the inviting gray abyss...she drops her head back with a soft sigh...*

*Merely is back now. He rises and realizes what has happened. The bloodlust is over. His insainity has cesed. He bends over and picks up the body of midnight. With a looks of saddness he carries her to a nearby castle to carry out her cerimony.*

An eternal mask here doth lie
an eternal sorrow here doth die
a fallen angel in the snow
to the angels, here doth she go
a eternal pain is gone today
into the ground, eternaly lay
gone from her life of eternal hell
so long sweet angel, fare thee well

(runs into an arms shop in the vilage) give me three gernads (runs out of shop with the bombs and throws them at 3 dozen) go to hell agian you undead fuckers

I would like to draw your attention, to the above 'role play' and the rules, below... One other thing... no godmoders.

Since this is role play, the chances of a fight coming up... are quite high. Due to the nature of this role play forum, fights will be turn based. No moding... meaning,

Goat: ~slices knife at Donkey, taking off Donkey's head~

That is a mode... You do not dictate what happens to another persons char... keep things fair, and give the other person a chance to defend themselves... play your character, let them play theirs.

In defense, you can't just ignore an attack during a "fight" so to speak. You have to defend yourself... else take the injury.

Fatalities... Should be rare.

All "characters" should have weak points... they will also have their strengths, and when fighting, these strengths should be taken into account alongside the weaknesses. Meaning, a dragon character, going up against a more humanoid looking character... is going to have an advantage for obvious reasons. The humanoid is going to have to be creative, and think up ways of defending himself, because an ornamental dagger against the scales of a dragon, isn't going to get you anywhere.

Weaponry... Must be stated as carried on the person, before they go getting into a fight. If you look on the char descrip pages, all weaponry on the given person should be stated there. Otherwise, they should state that they see it, go over to it, pick it up, and then use it. Things cannot be merely pulled outta thin air.

You are more than welcome to play "yourself" of course... as long as you do so in a role play style.

I'm trying to keep the guidelines to a minimum here, as this is meant to expand and encourage imagination... not limit it. What is set here, is set with the intent of making it fair for all who visit.. without being too restricting.

Johnny Crucifix... read through your post above, and tell me, were you not dictating what was happening to Midnight Sorrow's character??

Xxx-SIN-xxX
\(^^^)/

*Marius awakens...now all bleeding has stopped. He gets up, only to feel the pain of the death of Midnightsorrow, the one whom saved his life. A tear falls from his eyes. Somehow, Merely found the remains of Marius's hand, now tattered and being held together only by dirt and and torn pieces of muscles, flesh, and blood.*

"Thank you friends. For all you've done."

*Marius picks up the tattered remains of his hand with his left hand. He then places it against the nub at the end of his right arm. A soft light begins to shine. The end of his arm is now began to bleed. The hand is floating, and glowing. First bone jutes out of the nub, connecting with the frailed remains that was once a hand. Marius cringes in pain. Then the muscles spread from his arm to the hand, covering them in the places they belong. Next the veins and tendons. Marius's heart is racing, he feels it will soon explode. Sweat is pouring from his body and naked chest. The light is now a harsh bright, blinding light. Marius closes his eyes and continues to cringe, all his muscles tightening. His fingers on the right hand extends, cracking. Then the skin, although pale at first, covers the hand. The nails and hair on his hand then grows at a rapid rate. Finally, the pale skin on his hand tans, matching the rest of his body. The only thing that shows that his hand was amputated is a pen-line thick bruise circling where once he had no hand.*

*Marius rises, puts on his shirt and cloak. He picks his sword up, seeing the path of blood he made when trying to crawl to help his friends. He then exits the castle, still slightly weakened. He sees Dragon Master and addresses him.*

"Dragon Master. Thank you for all you have done. However, I now must ask you to leave...for this is not your battle. Thank you for all you have done, but now I ask you to go and let Merely and myself finish what we have started. Grazie miei amici."

*With this, Marius turns his back towards Dragon Master and walks back into the castle.*

Fine I will not fight this menace agian untill you ask for help or i see that you two begin to lose badly but in the mean time I will not leave reather I will be in the pub resting and getting a drink to refersh myself (with that Dragon Master leaves and walks over the pub ad enters the door)

In a way yes. Im sorry for making her drink the vial. But i did injure her and i was just making sure it didnt affect her. 2 wrongs=a right.

I apologize.

Bar tender get me a bottle of smernoff vodka and fill this flask with jack daniels wiskey (takes the liquior andsits on a couch in the corner)

*Adriana waits quietly outside the castle entrance, listening to what is going on around her. thankfully, not much action is occurring near her hiding place. she saw a figure exit the castle and speak with another warrior, before returning to the confines of the castle walls....perhaps this was Marius???*

Looks like he's all better....

*she senses that something has happened within the great walls of the castle, an unpleasant "something" at that. she decides to wait before going through the entrance, not knowing exactly who or what she'll find. crouched on the dank ground outside the walls, she lightly curses herself for following some blind hope of companionship, not knowing what she's gotten herself into. besides...she's made it this long on her own...*

(Walks out of the pub and walks tword the castle in which Mairus is) I hope he has a plan to deal with the zombies(turns head to see a figure in the dark near the wall of the castle but pays no attention,as Dragon Master turn back to the castle door a dagger flys thruogh his right shoulder)What the fuck? (looks t see a zombie laughing,Dragon Master throws a fire ball at it turning it to ashes then runs into castle to let the shoulder heal)

*Merely comes skipping through the town gates. Moving quickly past the zombies. He is about to enter the castle when he notices the female standing outside the door.Merely stops and looks at her.* Hmm....tasty. (ooc=jk, sorry steph) What are you doing out here? Mean creatures prowl outside tonight. And some are closer then what you might wish. *said with a lustfull tone.*

You are welcomed to come in. Its much more safe in there then it is out here...well....at least from the zombies. *sinister grin.*

*Merely then walks inside the castle to find Marius. Looks to a blood stain on the ground.* *sniff sniff* Shadow!!! Ah...Shadow....

*Looks back to Adriana.* If you are looking for me ill be in the torture chamber, Its across the hall from the dungeon in the basement. *Merely then continues his d
