Rays of Shadow

PTS: magical, and ask before joining...or don't join at all! MWUHAHAHAHA! I have the power!


Dark stumbled to his feet, suddenly awake. The world around him swung into focus. The air was sharp and found the gaps in his dragon armour. He growled an incomprehensible syllable in some foreign language. A small wytch-fire snapped into being in his hand. The darkness of unknown mountains surrounded him. It struck him...he was lost and alone in the night. He growled several curses under his breath.

[Ebony]

Eve stumbled along the mountain paths. She cursed rather vividly when she fell against one of the large rock formations. She finally decided to give up, that it was too bloody dark for anyone, let alone her, to be wondering these paths.

She had just sat down, when she heard someone to her left, and saw a light. She let out a small squeek, she didn't know what to expect out in these mountains, they were foreign, just like the rest of this demention.

"Hello?" she whispered, scared of what might attack her. "I'm not going to, to hurt you. I'm kinda looking for a way out of here!" she called to where the light was, even with it, she couldn't seem to see who was casting the strange glow.

[ShadowRune]

Dark muttered a few more curses for good measure and looked around for the voice that had just emanated from the darkness. "You'd be stupid to try it! (hurt him) and I'm in the same boat, perhaps worse..." he sighed and began to stumble over the rocks in search of the owner of the voice, "I don't suppose you know where we are, the country or world name will do..." he knew there was no place like this on his homeworld, he'd trapaised over it too many times to have missed it.

[Ebony]

Eve walked towards the bobbing light. "I wouldn't attempt to hurt anyone, I'm not strong enough for it," Eve muttered, and moved with an Elf's grace through the mountains, until she found another rock formation and walked right into it.

She fell back onto her butt, and looked up into the face of who must have been the owner of the light, considering that it was right by him. "See?" she asked, refering to her statement of being harmless.

[ShadowRune]

Dark snorted in an attempt to prevent hysterical laughter. "Right you are..." he looked around, "where're your parents?" he asked, assuming the small, hard-to-see shape was a child. after all, a wytch-light is blue and rather dim.

[Ebony]

Eve glared up at the new man. "I'm actually something over two hundred, sir," she mumbled, only adding the 'sir' for good measure.

She stood up on her own. "Might I ask who you are?" she ground out, being respectful.

[ShadowRune]

Dark frowned at being called "sir", it sounded so..formal. He grunted, "I'm the Dark Knight of the Dragoon essence of my realm...which this is not...jus' call me Dark." Two-hundred?! ...whooo Dark shook his head, "And what might ye be called?"

[Ebony]

Evelyn raised an eyebrow. "I'm Evelyn Caliber, daughter of the High Priest, in training to be the High Priestess and trusted advisor to both King and Princess of the Dark Elf realm. Which this is not, so you can call me Eve," she said, and held out her hand, palm down.

She flinched when she noted her natural reaction, and twisted her hand to the side, for a handshake. She really had been in court too long.

[ShadowRune]

Dark examined the woman's (now he realises!) hand. "Um...is there..is this...some formality?" he asked, quite in the dark, literally and not. Suddenly the wytch-light went out and he swore a blue streak in his home tongue (he speaks the tongue of his motherland, and usually speaks the tongue of the realm in which he serves). He muttered some more foreign words (this time, spell language) and it popped back into existance, this time it was purple. He swore again and shook his head.

[Ebony]

Eve bit her lip so she wouldn't laugh. "Having fun?" she asked, attempting and almost failing to keep her laugh inside.

[ShadowRune]

Dark shook his head and had to grin, "Sure sure, though this might work better if I blew up the mountain." He made a face, "So...you have no idea where we are either?"

[Ebony]

Eve looked around, a bit guiltily. "No, I really have no idea what is going on," she muttered, and looked around with almost scared eyes. She hated being lost, it meant that she'd gotten all daydreamy again or some such.

[ShadowRune]

Dark grinned despite himself again, "Well, this'll be interesting..." He looked around and brightened the 'purple' (ugh) wytchlight (woot! got it right this time!). "Well...what say you? wanna wander around with multicoloured lights and scare the heebijeebies out of anyone close enough to see them, or wait until morning before falling offa cliffs?"

[Ebony]

Eve looked at this new man, Dark. "I'm not really all that sure. I know there are quite a few different cliffs around here, I also know that my... friend is somewhere aswell, but we split up quite a while ago," she sighed, "I guess we can continue wondering until we fall."

[ShadowRune]

Dark nodded, "Sounds like fun, now here's the plan, one of us spins around until we fall down, and the direction they fell is the direction we go...or we could run into trees until on falls and we go the way it points....I dunno, what do you suggest?"
