Alex shakes his head in exasperation.
Alex: "This will test out two things, how well you can control your new powers & how well I can control mine. Now do it & don't question me!"

I'm shocked. I can't figure out why on earth he wants me to do this.
"What?" I ask, incredulosly (sp). Hopeing for some explaination.

OC: you seem to have some idea of where this is going. I'll let you take it from here

Alex stands a firm ground.
Alex: "Now, reach within your soul, feel your own fire, & become one with the sphere, then hurl it at me!"

Liz: Easy enough

I first summon the heavenly flame. It is a pure white. Next the mortal flame. This one is more of a dull yellow. Finnaly I summon the hellish flame. This one is more reddish. I hold the three hovering around me. Slowly I draw them together. The three lights become one ball of light, swirling with color. I summon a sphere of light and add it to the ball. The whole thing now glows. I look up at Alex for more instructions.

OC: Sorry everyone for not being on. I've been busy with a lot of work-related shit & getting ready for school which starts next Monday. I'll be writing way more often now that I have more time though & hopefully we'll hear from our "partner in crime" amp too. Lets continue!

IC: Alex has grown impatient of how slow everything is going. He summons Liz back to her quarters. She comes reluctantly but she looks happy, that fact alone making Alex himself happy but he tries not to show it.
Alex: "Are you done goofing off? Are you finally ready for some serious work?"
Liz: "Well you don't have to be so uptight!"
Alex: "I just want you to learn how to use your new powers. A magi that doesn't use their powers is like an unsailed ship. Sure it looks good, but is it worth anything?"
Liz: "Ok ok! What do you want me to train on? I'm bored with all the techno babble about how the powers work & where they come from, I need some fun."
Alex: "Fun, huh?! Well alright then!"
He grabs her by the hand & takes her down to the ships cargo hold.
Alex: "Bored? Tired of my explanations? Want fun? Well heres some fun for you. I want you to summon 3 different fireballs; one of mortal flame, one of heavenly flame, & one of hellish flame. Make them stay hovering around you. Then, merge them together & control that pyresphere like you did the 3 smaller ones. Then I want you to merge that pyresphere with one of those light balls of yours. Lets see if you can at least do that, then I'll give you some more instructions; & be careful, because if you mess up you will get burned."

WHY IS NO ONE POSTING ON THIS THREAD?!?!?!?!

POST NOW!!!!!!!!

Ah. The two younglings are finally waking up.
*smiles*
*Kwai and Vix immediately put their hands to their throats, checking for bites*

M:jeez... You younglings sure are jumpy...I have no intention of biting either of you. The thing is that Avalon needs you. I need you. You and your group were friends of Longevus, correct?
*vix and Kwai both nod*
M: well, as you should know, he came here a little while ago to retrieve his spear, because he could, rightly, sense that someone was going after it. Well, the "spear hunters" have begun to attack our fair Isle, and we need as much help as possible to fend them off. Will you help us?

OC: This is the continuation of my last post. Just read it all as one.

I turned and saw Bill. "Yeah, it shure is"

Bill and I had become friends since I had been on the ship. He had taught me a good deal about the ship.

Bill: So, do you miss seeing land yet?
Liz: No, I don't think I ever will
Bill: Ah, ever since I met you, I always suspected you were a sailer.
Liz: Realy? Why?
Bill: You reminded me of myself when I first came to see.
Liz: Realy?
Bill: Yep, I was on a passenger ship to Port Royal. I lookked a lot like you. I could hardly walk on the ship.
Liz: Wait, how did you end up here?
Bill: Well, our ship was intersepted by The Dead Man's Chest. They rounded us up and offered us the option of being set off in a life boat to drift, or become pirate. I chose pirate. I've been here ever since.

It's a georgous sunny day outside. I would give anything to be out in it. But yet again I'm in my cabin, practicing my magic. It's just too nice a day. There is no way I can concentrate when it's this nice out. I suddenly realize Alex has been talking about some spell, and I hadn't heard a word he said. Alex shook his head and sighed. "Go, it's clear you're not going to get anyting done today."

I smiled. I jumped up and hugged him. I immediatly pulled back. I turned bright red, I don't know why I did that. Alex was smiling. I could tell he found my embarrasement amusing. With that I hurried out the door and up on to deck.

In my many weeks on the ship I had come to know most of the sailers. Most of them were fairly eager to talk to me, since apparently, most of these ghost had worked on this ship for a long time, and it wasn't very often anyone new came on board. The crew had insisted that if I was to live on a pirate ship I should at least know how to work on one. So, with the help of the sailors, I now knew how to do most everything a seasoned sailer could.

I was encredibly glad to be outside. The day was amazingly sunny and warm. The water was bright blue. It was these days that had made me love the sea. I went up to the rail and looked out at all the water. "Beautiful, isn't it?"

I turned with a start. I han't heard anyone come up beheind me.

OC: that ended up being rather long... Have to go. I'll finish it later

OC: why is this board so slow all of a sudden? I could be gone for two days and all kinds of stuff would happen, but nothing's happened since my last post....

oh, and a change to my stats... she should be 4.5 feet tall...

*here begins the story of Character #26*

The two Chinese younglings arrive unconsious, the girl murmuring that "this conversation isn't over, monk." *thinking* Hmm... they are almost always overpowered by the spell... Oh, well. Better get them into a bed.
I magicked them both onto a bed, since I am too small to lift them.

OC: ...& that one makes 26. sorry I haven't been posting here lately, I've been busy with work again. Everyone else should definately keep playing though. I'll probably post something tomorrow or whatever.

wow. I haven't been on since Wednesday because of school (blah!!). I guess that this means that I have to make a new character, then?

Name:Morgaine
Sex: Female
Age:1500 looks 20
Eyes:Grey
Hair:long, black
Height:5'0"
Weight:100
Body:thin
Lives:England, the Isle of Avalon
History: secret daughter of King Arthur's sister, Morgaine, she is a powerful magician. At the age of 20, however , her lover (a vampyre) bit her and transformed her. She has been living mostly on Avalon ever since, though the inhabitants of the island have sort of shunned her.

OC: Wow, I didn't think we had that many characters.

IC:
Alex and I walk back to my cabin.
Alex: Alright, let's start you training.
Liz: Great. Umm... What do we do.
Alez: We'll start with something simple. Make a sphere of light.

Liz makes one.

Alex: Good, now make another

Liz tries, but the first one fades out.

Alex: You have to work on that.

They spend a while practicing.

OC: Alright mail scans of my characters to me so I can crtique (and of course have them)

OC: i went back & copied & pasted every player character stat since the game started. i counted 25. i will either try to draw them myself or have my best friend (who is a master at anime style art) draw them for kicks.

Alex, Zeig, Verka, Liz, & now Kunga all leave the temple.
Liz: "Wait! Where is the ship?"
Zeig: "No worries there lass! Verka, if you would."
Verka: "Sure thing cap'n."
Verka pulls out a black whistle & blows into it making a screaching sound. The Dead Man's Chest appears instantly from behind a cloud of fog.
Liz: "Cool."
Kunga: "Booga booga thats amazing!"
The crew boards the ship & Alex teleports the treasure to the cargo hold onboard. The crew boards & little Kunga (who obviously doesn't get out much) begins dancing around the ship manicly.
Kunga: "Booga booga booga!!!"
Liz: "He sure is happy!"
Alex: "I would be too. Ok Lizzy, lets start your training."
Liz: "Right now?"
Alex: "Right now."
Zeig: "Thats a right bit of alright! Ye two do your magic & such while me & Verka school the lil' feller on the finer points of rum consumption."
Kunga: "Rum? Whats rum?"
Verka: "Only the finest drink ever made by humans!"
Kunga: "Ok then! Lets go get some of this rum!"

MEANWHILE...

Shawn & Gray Lizard spend the next 3 days praying, chanting, singing, dancing, meditating, & fasting. All the while Shawn begins to notice a drastic change in his overal outlook on things.

Deep in the fortress of the Vampires Vix and Kwai walk enjoying the evening unaware that their lives are about to be sent off on a series of events that shall change the world

Vix: Kwai have you given any more thought to my proposal
Kwai: yes I have
Vix: and?
Kwai: I have and awnser for you
Vix: yes?
*a flash of light and a roar of thunder on kwau and vix are knocked unconcious and whisked away to parts unknown as she subcumbs to unconciousness vix murmurs "this conversation isn't over monk"

Liz: Who are you?
Kunga: My name is Kunga Ku Kunga Ku
Liz: And I thought Elizabeth was a mouth full...
Kunga: I am the protector of this temple. You may call me Kunga.
Liz: Umm.. OK then I guess we'll get out of your way.

She turns and heads for the exit.
Kunga: Hold up.
Liz: Damn, I knew that was too easy
Kunga: It is my job to protect the treasures of this temple. I'm not supposed to let you leave with any treasure. But, perhaps we can work something out.
Alex: What are you talking about?
Kunga falls on his knees in front of the group.
Kunga: Please! Take me with you! You don't know what it's like, traped in here. With nothing to do but wait for raiders.
Zieg: Wait, Your saying if we take you out of here, we can take all the treasure we want?
Kunga: Absolutly
Alez: Kunga, you've got your self a deal.

Grey Wolf: it's been to long Gray Lizard, Gray Raven and Gray Coyote have been worried about you
Grey Lizard: Well if it isn't the Gray Wolf of the Apache Tribe! how have you been my old friend
Shawn: Old? GrayLizard this man looks younger than me.
Grey Lizard: Don't look with just your eyes my young pupil the real nature of the man you see before you and myself as a matter of fact can be seen if you look beyond. You see Shawn Gray Wolf is no longer human.
Shawn: I'm rather confused
