Announcement box

Well since I'm pretty close to releasing the first chapter of my story and since everyone says it has lots of potential I decided to give this an try and make an roleplay topic of it. I aren't very good with RP but I'll give it a try ^^;;

NOTE: This storyline is different from the actual story, but it should be fun nontheless.

Elemental War: ChaoS Edition:

The 4th Elemental War is about to start. You have been born and living with one of the main clans, and one day you suddenly discover you have the ability to control the element your clan is about. Your grandpa tells you you're an 'chosen one', thus an human born to be an Elemental Keeper. Your task will be to obtain the Elemental Grail and deliver it to your family. However, within all other clans there also have been reports of Elemental Keepers arising. Your grandpa will prepare an ritual to summon an Elemental Archangel for you. After you have 'bound' with your angel, you set out with only the angel, the results of your 9 years martial arts training and the promise you made with your family to deliver them the Elemental Grail. The Elemental War has begun.

This may sound complex, but give it a try as I'm sure you'll like it. Hope everyone enjoys :D

Alex flipped a small bag over his shoulder, walking down the dirt path. He felt like an idiot. What exactly had he been thrust into?

An Elemental War of epic proportions.

He knew, but the answer stung like an injection. He didn't want to be an elemental warrior. He just wanted to be plain old Alex. What if he didn't want this?

Well, sure, it seemed like a cool (and pretty sweet) deal, traveling with a magical being and all. It was just the life and death factor that made him shudder.

The possibility that he truly could DIE out here fighting for peace or whatever he was supposed to be doing, seemed unfair and scary.

Yeah, no pressure, right? he mused, using one hand to snatch the map he brought with him from his bag. He felt so dumb out here all alone with no guide and two weeks' worth of food (in small portions, of course.) At least he didn't have to think about where to go on top of why, and also what he was trying to find.

"So, what exactly does this Grail thingy look like?" He asked.

He looked around for his angel, a bit shocked. He felt naked. He felt that at any moment a bulky creature would snatch him up and carry him off unless he had protection...his angel.

Besides his angel, what would the other Elemental Keepers be like? Where would they be? Were their personalities like his ? Had his angel gone to find a new Keeper because he was annoying?

All these puzzling thoughts raced through his head as he looked around, in desperate need of his new companion. No boy of his age could survive against strong, vicious enemies without an equally powerful ally.

What would he do? Where would he go?

Finally, he decided to sit under the shade of a nearby tree, and rest. His angel might just eventually come to him of its own accord, and he need not look for it at all. He nodded to himself, and then he dozed off to sleep.

Very nice Pro, keep it up :D Anyways, my turn now:

Jayson continued walking down the path leading him through the woods located at the foot of the castlegrounds where it all started. That very same castle where he was told he is nothing more but someone to deliver the grail to his family. That very same castle where he was beaten up to go on with his martial art training, even if he was exhausted and couldn't bring the energy anymore. He continued walking, biting on his teeth as he kept thinking about his past. At some point, he even started running, running in an attempt to escape his past. Then he tripped over a rock and feel down in the muddy path. He looked up to the sky, but he saw nothing except the gray clouds filling up every blue gap in the air, and the rain that fell out of it. Jayson tried to pull himself together, and stood up. He looked in the distance, and couldn't see where the path he was walking on would end. Jayson went off the path and settled down against a nearby tree. He got a map out of his bag, and checked his location. First, he would go to an nearby village to stock up some supplies for during his journey. Of course, he had no time to take any food with him as he had to escape the wraith of his father, who wanted to kill him as soon as he found out Jayson started to share a bond with his Archangel. Hundreds of thoughts spinned around in his mind, causing him to grab to his head and yell "stop it". He collapsed again, crossing his arms and leaning against the tree while looking up to the sky. He was tried of all the commotion of today, so decided to take a quick nap. "Aeriel" he said. Out of the wind his archangel appeared right by his side. "I'm going to take an nap. Please keep an eye out for any possible enemies ok?" Even though the Archangel couldn't reply, the look in it's eyes was gentle, what we as humans would translate as an nod. Jayson smiled weakly, closed his eyes and went take a nap below the tree. As rain continued to fall he finally fell asleep.

Good on your part too, Hayate. ;) The reason I didn't add in my angel was because before reading your rp, I wasn't sure if they can talk. XD Anyway, my turn now.
:rolleyes:

A gust of wind whipped up around him, pulling Alex forcefully out of his peaceful dream-like state.

His eyes flashed open in surprise. He blinked twice to get his bodily jucies flowing. Whenever he woke up, his mouth and eyes were dry from lack of use.

Soon he felt tears well up in his eyes, and moisture returned to his body. His papery skin flushed with color, and he sat upright, trying to reorient himself.

He'd forgotten where he was. The hard wood against his back reminded him of the tree he had gone to rest under. He then remembered his predicament, and looked around for his missing angel. He spotted it no more than twenty yards away, with a red sphere surrounding it. It appeared to be floating silently in a meditative state. The reality was that it had simply waited for him to awaken. Its soft, mysterious eyes gazed at him for a moment, and the orb around Zuruel faded. It flew over to him, an aura of power lying in its wake.

I see you have awakened, Alexander.

Alex still hadn't gotten used to the whole psychic communication power that his ally possessed.

"Uh, yeah." He said shakily.

I brought you some berries. Zuruel the angel flicked its wrist, and opened its palm, revealing a glowing hand, brimming with magical essence, Suddenly, a light flashed above Zuruel's palm, and when the light faded there were at least twenty berries lying in the angel's huge hand.

"Thanks." Alex grabbed a handful of berries and ate. He chowed down greedily, hungry after a long nap in the shade. Zuruel's expressionless , pale face seemed to brighten at this moment, almost as if in mock amusement.

Zuruel waited patiently and watched as its new partner scarfed down the collection of bright red berries. If at all possible, the smallest suggestion of a smile crept across its shiny, soft-featured face. Once Alex was done with his meal, they set off again.

"So, where are we going?" Alex asked inquisitively. He had to hope at least one of them knew where to start.

To the sunken ship of Allores. THAT is where I believe the grail is. If it resides there, our journey will be a very short, yet perilous one. That is without accounting for the actual fighting.

"Oh, of course," Alex responded with a hint of sarcasm. He kept walking at a brisk pace. "Well Zuruel, listen. We'll stop in this little town up ahead. We can take up refuge there for a small fee. Plus, they may have some food for us to stock up on. Not like you eat, so what I really mean is for ME to stock up on. Got it?"

But sire, I do eat. Rarely of course. Even angels need their strength. Some can live without food however. I happen to need at least water every once in a while to maintain strength. Once I ascend I will no longer require it.

"Ascend?" Alex's head jerked up at this word, in shock and intrigue.

To a full-fledged angel. Then I shall be able to use more power without tiring out.

"Cool," Alex said. "Well, come on. I just felt a raindrop. There's a storm coming."

Yes, sire.

"And stop calling me sire."

Yes, sire.

Nice, good to see you remembered angels talk through the mind instead of mouth ;) Well, here I go again:

Jayson slowly opened his eyes. The first he noticed is that the rain has stopped and a weak amount of sunshine was shinings through the few white clouds in the clear sky. Jayson stood up and looked around. There were still some raindrops on the leaves of the trees around, and the sunlight that was shining on them made them look like a crystal. Jayson called his archangel, and after aeriel came forth he thanked him for watching over him. The angel again gave this stare we would translate as an nod, and then disappeared again. "Allright" Jayson said. "Let's get a move on". He threw his bag over his shoulder and began walking forward. Jayson was happy again by seeing the beautiful landscape around him, there was no single sign that this very same Jayson collapsed crying yesterday while thinking about his past. Jayson had an smile like he could take on everyone in the world just by his own, and win of them too. After an short walk Jayson arrived in Fuseria Town, an small medieval-looking town located just a bit out of the territory of the castle grounds. Jayson went to the local store and brought some food and water for during his jounrey. He took a seat on the bench locatd outside of the store and took out the map he grabbed from an table in the castle while running to escape. Jayson was thinking. "Now that I've arrived in Fuseria Town and got my stuff, it would be wise to move onwards to the next town before the evening falls. I'm sure they have send some family members on the task to track me down and kill me" A somehow evil-looking smile appeared on his face. "Game Set, and it's my turn to move now" he said. Jayson took an closer look at the map. "The next town is about 2 days walking from here...however I would have to cross the forest between them which might be dangerous, especially at night. However, if I wait here I'm sure the servants father send will find me...best would be to take the risk and move through the forest. Jayson looked at the air and asked what Aeriel would do. A pretty breeze suddenly emerged out of nowhere and rolled past Jayson. Knewing that this is Aeriel's answer, a smile appeared on his face. "Let's go, then" He walked to the end of the town and was ready to enter the forest.

A bit long, eh?

Alex wiped the sweat from his forehead, pulling out his canteen as he and Zuruel neared a stream. It was thin, but the water was pure enough to fill his canteen with.

So he did just that, while Zuruel busied himself with the task of absorbing the water for strength.

I need only a little more experience in battling before I can ascend. The angels don't let just any untrained being ascend.

"Yeah, I figured. Don't worry, because I'm sure you'll get plenty of that later on." Alex chuckled. He wasn't really sure why, since nothing was particularly funny at the moment. It was a sort of hesitant, foreshadowing laugh, in anticipation of attacks from enemies. His archangel did not laugh.

This hadn't surprised him in the slightest. He wasn't even sure archangels could laugh.

Dismissing the thought, he said, "We best be moving on if we want to make it before the evening sets in. There's lots to do before then."

Really, like what? Zuruel's plain face shone with intrigue, the circus-like scooped cones that hung behind his face vibrating for an instant. He resembled some sort of heavenly being, or even, if one had such a vast imagination, a mage of some sort, with magician's clothing. He wore a long, light robe. It was a vivid rosy red color, and hung down below the strange getup that framed his face in an elegant manner.

"Well, for starters, get some sleep."

Ah, recooperation. You humans are such weak little beings.

"What?" Alex didn't particularly like being called weak, even if it was an angel saying so.

That is to say, compared to most creatures. It is a sad fact of human life that most species are stronger in terms of endurance.

"Yeah? Well, I'll show you endurance!" Alex piped, his mass of hair flaring in protest. Zuruel did not back down, though he did not mean any offense by his truthful words. Just then, from far off in the distance, a loud rumble sounded. Whipping around to look, both Alex and Zuruel were devastated by what they saw.

Half of a small mountain had been cleaved off of its base, and shattered into a million hard fragments. Both Alex and Zuruel gasped, staying close to each other. Water close by them swirled as the power of the blow dissapated around them and rocks rained down upon the landscape. Standing menacingly in front of the duo was a big, fat, powerful, ugly green troll.

It roared, displeased with them for unknown reasons.

Alexander, get down very quickly! It has hate in its eyes. I know that look...it comes right before a-

The troll bellowed loudly, stretched its muscles, and charged for them. Alex dove away as Zuruel came forward to challenge the threat.

Holding a thick brown club, it tackled Zuruel, who held it back after sliding backwards a few feet on impact. The big, nasty foe was strong, but not in the way Zuruel was.

Tossing the brute aside, Zuruel warned, Hang back for a while! More of them are coming.

This was true. Four other trolls soon appeared, but just as swiftly as they had come they sniffed the air and left. They had other things on their minds.

The fallen being stood angrily, and smashed the rocky ground forcefully, pulling up a chunk of Earth to toss at its opposer.

"No, don't!" Alex wailed, jumping out of his hiding place in front of the troll. It turned to the boy and lobbed the chunk of rock and dirt at him without a second thought.

Fool! Zuruel conjured up some magic and flung Alex to one side to avoid the attack.

"I'm just as much a part of this as you are!" Alex complained.

If not for me you would've been part of the spirit world by now.

Alex huffed, knowing his angel was right and he had been foolish in going up to the troll to face it. "Well, fine...look out!"

Zuruel moved as an enchanted rock came at him, blasting a nearby tree to nothingness. It was a strange type of bomb developed by the the almost mindless trolls using their minimal magical properties.

"Whoa!" Alex exclaimed, appalled by what had happened to the tree.

Gripping the club at its side and wielding it bravely, the troll swung at Zuruel, zapping the club with a jolt of magic as it did this. The magical club was now able to do more damage to Zuruel, who did his best to counter it with a flame shield. The shield broke, taking the blow for him before it perished.

"Hit him hard!" Alex encouraged.

Zuruel did. He conjured up a whitish-blue cloud of angelic smoke, and thrust it at the enemy, who cried out in surprise. The heavy oaf stumbled back, and was hefted up into the air at least five feet and thrown backward, before being deposited in a small pond about fifty yards away.

"Ooh, impressive!" Alex was now reemerging from his hiding spot behind a large bush, and admired his angel's strength.

Why thank you young one. Shall we go?

--------------------------------------------------------------------

It was still light out when they reached Fuseria Town, and Alex was beat. He bought a few valuable items, such as a pocketknife, a pack of smoke pellets of cheap value, a bag of fresh fruit, a collection of different nuts, a loaf of bread, cheese, and some stationery, which was pretty hard to come by, except for the one shop that had some supplies shipped in before stationery was in high demand.

Walking down a street that cut through a mass of little shops, Alex gazed at his map once more. Zuruel mentioned that he felt a strange presence, but they kept walking anyways. Alex stopped to sit down at a bench off to the side of the cobblestone road, and rested. In a few minutes, he would be ready to go again.

As Jayson continued walking through the forest he noticed the sunrays werealmost unable to shine through the many leaves covering the surface above. It was silent in the forest. It kinda felt like a dead space, where time didn't excist. Jayson felt the tension filling the forest. He knew something was about to happen, but what? Suddenly he noticed some kind of shadow behind his back that sneaked away quickly before Jayson could turn his head around to see what it was. Jayson already had noticed the shadow, but kept walking forward. He knew a fight was near, but wanted to wait for the enemy to make it's first move. Aeriel made contact with Jayson, but he answered with a nod before Aeriel could 'say' anything. Jayson continued walking towards the center of the forest. If he was right, there should be a open spot in the middle of the forest. Once Jayson reached the center of the forest he stood still for a moment. "I know you're there" he said. "Show yourself!". Jayson turned around, waiting for the shadow to reveal itself. A breeze stroke through the forest, making the leaves whistle. Suddenly 3 sharp star-like objects came flying towards Jayson at high speed. He jumped up, evading the attack while doing so and created a light storm with his right arm which he threw at the directions from where the stars were thrown. A shadow jumped out to evade the attack, landing on the ground below. Jayson got a quick look and immediatly remembered the clothes and movements from the Fugi clan, a clan which had been serving Jayson's family for centuries. "Hah, it seems they have already put the Fugi on the hunt to kill me and retreive Aeriel" Jayson now had an serious expression on his face. "If you want to take Aeriel back, try to take me out first!" The ninja didn't move at all, while Jayson called for Aeriel to lend him it's powers. "Let's do it Aeriel! Chaos Unite!!!!" Chaos unite was an secret technique Jayson learned which allowed him to 'bound' with his angel's powers so he could use those during battle. The ninja jumped up, throwing another 5 stars at Jayson. Jayson formed a twister around his right arm which he threw at the stars, scattering them to pieces. The ninja seemingly didn't expect this, and tried to block the attack that was coming towards him using his sword, but it was useless. Jayson attack scattered the sword too, and send the Ninja flying for an few metres before he hit an tree and crumbled to ground. The ninja had no choice but to retreat, so he jumped into the tree and disappeared out of Jayson's sight. Jayson showed a weak smile "Chaos Disband" he said to end the bound he formed with Aeriel for this battle. Jayson looked in the distance to where the ninja disappeared, and then started running towards the opposite direction. "Damn, now that that guy has fled he'll probably alert the Fugi of my location. I'll have to make it out of the forest as soon as possible!"

((Tore, by the way, should be pronounced tor-ay. Because I said so.))

Tore stretched his arms, loosening up in preparation for the journey ahead of him. Whatever it was. He knew he had to find some Grail of epic proportions, as usual with these huge magical quests he read about in stoires, but the question was where. everybody was very vague about where it could be. Equipped with him was a sack of food and msc. supplied on his back, and on his waist a tight belt holding in place Tore's rather large hammer and axe on opposite thighs.

Standing atop a high hill, he scanned his surroundings and checked to see what the terrain was around him and in the distance in all directions.

:D Good story Erik, though I didn't quite understand the part about the sword. ^^; My turn, okay?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alex was still looking over his supplies when he heard a voice call to him.

Alexander, I have to speak with you.

Alex looked up at the translucent figure of his archangel Zeruel, who was staring at him with the usual blank expression.

"Hey, what's up?" Alex looked back at his impressively handcrafted pocketknife, studying it's detail. It had intricate gold lines running across the hilt, and hard leather covered it, allowing for an easy grip.

The trolls have come once again. I feel them!

"No way!" Alex's eyes widened, and he looked back at his archangel with horror in his eyes.

Zeruel nodded, pointing toward the end of the street they were near, which eventually snaked around the buildings and led out of Fuseria Town. The sandstone-brown theme of the buildings contrasted with the sunlight above and created a peaceful air.

We have to hurry. If we get out of town, we can head them off there and...wait! I sense a presence...an ally, I think. Hurry, Alexander! There is much we have to do.

"I'm going, I'm going!" Alex grabbed his bag, stashed the knife in his pocket, and hurried off in the direction of trouble.

Alex had no time to buy anything else or even think. He rushed out of town, and in the distance, sure enoguh, were the three trolls from before. They had just finished chomping away at some apples they had gone to feast upon, and tossed the shriveled remains to the ground.

Also, a few hundred yards off in another direction, there was a powerful-looking figure. He had in his possession two large weapons, which were hard to discern at such a distance. And so, Alex decided to get closer to the person. This, Zeruel pointed out, was where the ally's presence emanated from.

---------------------

Done. :rolleyes: How was that?

Aha! Tore spotted a running figure in the distance. He seemed to be leading a pack of trolls right to Tore, which seemed awfully suspicious. He was smaller than the rest... maybe the brains of the trolls?

Do trolls even have brains?

He went down low to the grass, hoping he hadn't been spotted yet. After prepping himself, gripped his hammer with two hands, he leaped up and charged downhill with his large hammer and yelling a battle cry. First target, the one that looked like the 'brains'!

Zeruel sprang into action. Stay behind me! He's fierce.

Alex needed no further invitation. He saw the heavily armed warrior rush toward them, and stepped back, allowing Zeruel to block him off.

Suddenly, he realized, things were heating up. This whole journey thing wasn't sounding too good anymore. He might die.

That, however, depended on Zeruel's strength. Knowing this gave him some hope.

Ohmagodwhatthefrugbarbeque!

Soem sort of monstrous spirit thing leaped out of the short troll's shadow, defending it. Why didn't Tore see it before? This was some sort of troll with magic abilities. It had summoned some sort of demon to fight Tore!

He was already on a downhill collision course though, and hated to waste this sweet blow. running at full speed, he threw all his weight forward and swung his hammer straight at the spirit, toppling over and rolling past the target and missing entirely.

He jumped to his feet quickly, only to find himself in the face of a veritable army of trolls. He readied his hammer, not expecting to come out of this unharmed.

Alex gasped involuntarily as the figure came within a breath's distance of him. He was a boy, a little bit older than he, with a glow in his eyes that seemed to portray a hunger for simply "hitting something."

Unfortunately, he thought, he was that something.

The bulky trolls stood up straighter and readied their clubs. One of them wielded a giant glowing magical mace. The power emanating from it could be felt in the form of static. Touching this weapon would be a bad mistake.

All three enemies noticed the boy at once, and got into position. One of them snarled, and could not wait to fight, so he attacked head on, without a word, or noise, rather. The show was about to start.

Tore flinched, keeping his hammer readied so he could counter-attack,b ut that hopeless. Just before the troll's mace hit...

BOOM! It was deflected by a glowing shield. The troll is thrown back a couple feet as the shield solidifies more and more, revealing Tore's guardian Earth angel, who was shielding the boy. Earth's best trait is defense, after all.

With an exchanged nod, the angel fuses itself into Tore's hammer, which he then uses to leap forward and land an Earth-powered strike on the troll with all his weight into it.
