A world dominated by hate and hunger, the land riddled with pain and pity,
two sides will clash for the highest rank of all; the overlord of Haja. Their people and
wariors await the fate that a new war will bring to their world. Two sides now
believe the land need not be divided anymore, its needed one ruler? Who would have
the stamina, the courage, the fairness, the strength and even the kindness of a
majestic overlord? The problem begins...
The decision has been made, the land of Haja will fall into another Hajan Hell.
The Elysians have equality among gender, advanced technology and are highly
skilled but the Capitales have honour for their state, strict war tactics and a greater
army reputation. At distant and on horseback the Elysians are the finest, but on foot
and at close range the capitales rule the arena.
Here is where I leave this terrible tale, but it is also where you will choose.
What is the side for you? Are you an Elysian or a Capitale? Are you skilled with
your bow and on horseback or are you better at arms and warfare? This is not
believe it or not a good vs evil, this is the fight for power,
Medieval Knights vs Ancient Warlords, neither good and neither evil.
When you combine the brutality and the hardship of the ancient societies
then put an advanced medieval technological society next to them.
Infuse some legends imagination and you will get... HELL

Forks, Washington has always been a place where things have been simple. Recently, with the influx of vampires, people have failed to notice those that have gone missing. The werewolves can't hurt the Cullen clan. They've not broken their contract, they've not hurt a soul. But it's open season on vampires. With everyone in a whirlwind of vampiric chaos and death tolls in Forks rising, the Volturi still haven't shown their faces to stop the madness.
¤ ¤ ¤
Following a trio in Italy, the Volturi are winded and tired. Their bodies go forever, but their minds, caused by blackness in their tracking and the inability to see the ones being tracked, are growing weary, ready to return home. That is when a sense comes. the smell of a creature closer. He's bleeding, wounded. He's what they're hunting. The fourth to the group, making it a trio that's on the loose, rather than four. His words lead them all to Forks, where the Volturi come armed, ready to kill.
¤ ¤ ¤
They carry no scent. They are close. Two males, a single female, each varying in size, each meek and unwilling to become part of a group. What are they? What could be dangerous enough to distract the Volturi when they were clearly challenged by such scary numbers that have climbed in Forks?
S U B P L O T
The Volturi have their eyes on the main prize that exists in the Cullen family; namely, Edward Cullen. With Edward's unique ability for mind reading, the Volturi have their sights set on him. They percieve him to be one of the weakest links in the Cullen family and are looking to exploit any weaknesses he may possess.
¤ ¤ ¤
Knowing that Edward has not yet taken a vampire mate, the Volturi send one of their own ranks, a woman capable of blocking any mental abilities another supernatural being can use against her. This makes her the perfect tool against Edward and his family. This woman has had expert amounts of training in her ability, and years to practice with it. She has set justice to many of her kin at the orders of the Volturi and followed them faithfully. Not only is she a defense mechanism, but she is a lethal killing machine. Her goal is to try to take Edward under her wing and convert him to her cause through whatever means possible. The Volturi have made it clear to her that they could care less whether she seduces him or not, and how many casualties will rest in her hands in the process.
¤ ¤ ¤
With this woman loose in Washington, seeking out Edward specifically, Edward's relationship with Bella could become very complicated, very fast.
¤ ¤ ¤
This RPG is set during the time of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight novel. But it's in your hands now if you, the player, will simply play out her series plot or deviate from it. Only you can tell ... or can you?

Men 1. You life consists of learning, freedom and beating the enemy and with each victory you gain valour, you may add it to your profile to prove your reputation. 2. If a women you sleep with falls pregnant by you then you can choose to leave it, kill it . 3. If you decide to keep and raise the child then they carry your name and are bound by you. 4. The men in Elysian are more vaiant and noble than the men of the City-State. That does not mean dark and mysterious is not accepted but prince scharmings and white knights are in abundance. 5. Elysian disgrace arrogance and anything in vanity (too many wins) they will start to believe you are targetting weaker men.
Women 1. Your ranks can only go from peasant, Scout, Knight and then to lady Archer. No further. Women must also attack in groups, one on one you stand no chance but 4 of one you have a better chance. 2. If you sleep with the same man 5 times in a row (same night or different nights) then you fall pregnant. 3. When pregnant you stay that way for 1 month, you can no longer fight but you can still have sex and drink until the last week. 4. Children remain with you until the age of 13, then they may do as they please (usually go into the Accademy) 5. Respect your elders, higher ranks. 6. You cannot ride stallions unless I say so. 7. If you are not a warrior you wear womans clothes, no mans, but if you fight it is vital you wear pants and armour.
Animals 1. Horses heights, colours and ability rely on their breed. An arabian is not powerful, a shire is not fast, a friesian is not grey and a welsh is not 18hh. 2. Pick breeds that would exist in these times, for example Quarter Horses and brumbies are rather recent. You may use pictures of them (so long as its not obviously a modern breed) 3. You cannot have pet lions or other large wild animals. You can have dogs, cats, bird, medium cats, snakes etc. 4. Horses play a vital role in Elysian Warfare, everyone can own at least 2 horses. 5. Elysian pride themselves on the ability, courage and nature of their horses. Their horses are trained well and the riders are masters in horsemanship. Very rarely do they fall off. They are also never cruel to their beasts of war.

Men 1. Your life consists of war, with each victory you gain valour, you may add it to your profile to prove your reputation. 2. If a women you sleep with falls pregnant by you then you are bound to her until the child is 5. 3. If the child is decided weak, you are dishonoured beyond reconition and it will take a long time to regain that back. 4. You are men, act like them. Theres no prince charmings in this city, just war weary fighters bred to kill. 5. Act too cocky and your foolish, act too humble and you are weak. Perfection is what the Capitales strive for, perfection in looks, skill and body.
Women 1. You cannot fight in wars but can train to fight for own self defense or to build muscle tone for strong children. 2. If you sleep with the same man 5 times in a row (same night or different nights) then you fall pregnant. 3. When pregnant you stay that way for 1 month, you can no longer fight but you can still have sex and drink until the last week. 4. Children remain with you until the age of 5, then they belong to the city and join the Agoge (unless they are weak) 5. Respect your elders, higher ranks and men. 6. You cannot ride stallions unless I say so. 7. You wear womans clothes, not mans, it is not accepted in this city-state.
Animals 1. Horses heights, colours and ability rely on their breed. An arabian is not powerful, a shire is not fast, a friesian is not grey and a welsh is not 18hh. 2. Pick breeds that would exist in these times, for example Quarter Horses and brumbies are rather recent. You may use pictures of them (so long as its not obviously a modern breed) 3. You cannot have pet lions or other large wild animals. You can have dogs, cats, bird, medium cats, snakes etc. 4. The City-State rarely charge horses in a battle, they prefer the honour in hand to hand fighting on foot. You can be drafted in a mounted platoon where your horse is needed. Scouts always use horses. 5. Capitales are poor riders, their horses poorly trained and are offen disobediant. The warriors often strike and are aggressive to their horses, that is what you should be.
Good Example: The stallion jumped sideways, his rider losing balance and leaning in lion skin saddle to regain it. Oscuro dug the spurs deeper into its flesh, the blood began to flow again. After much snarling and hissing the animal was finally in control but just as suddenly threw him out of the seat. When he lunged for the reins the stallion tossed his head up, baring its teeth. Oscuro hissed at the horse which made it fidget against his pull. The horse took a chance and bit its masters hand to release his hold. Oscuro quickly backhanded the animal. The great bay reared, snaking its head around to avoid another attack. Oscuro tugged hard at the rusted bit to pull the horses face down near his clentched fist. The horse was scared and pawed savagely at the ground but it could not save itself from the force of Oscuros strike. His knuckles clipped the stallions nose causing it to look slightly dazed and giving Oscuro his chance. Once on the stallion, the horse tried a few more half bucks but it was too late, its firey spirit was broken.

Hajan Hell II « Result #10 on Dec 26, 2005, 11:04am »
This story it fabricated, the real reason for the war is unknown. Perhaps now one kingdom wishes to rule all the mainland. Perhaps the Rivalries between queen Illumina and King Oscuro have broke once more. This story ws created for the children whom ask too many questions.
Oscuro, lord to the rough and warrior folk, heard of the sudden death of Tiral. He knew Ilumina will be the first to try and take it and knew his people would not follow a woman for one thing but an Elysian whos is looking to eliminate their king. He also did not believe she had the what it takes to rule everyone but he did know that and more, he approached the Grand Courts to reinstate Tiral...
Meanwhile Ilumina, queen of the equal and diplomatical people, too heard of the problem. There was no way she was going to let Oscuro rule over everything after what he did to her and her people. She was intelligant and fair unlike her barbaric minded neighbour. She approached the Grand Courts also to replace Tiral and control the lands.
There they were told by the wise Kalinka 'One will rule all and the deciding is not up to us, it is to our people'. Neither side buckled, the Capitals wanted Oscuro and the Elysians wanted Ilumina, they did not give a second thought about it. Knowing neither will give way, the Gods of the Grand Courts requested a battle to see who will be the strongest and most skilled to control the lands and the courts.
Enraged by their own greed the two glared at each other before turning their own ways to the Court Battles. As they entered the blood stained arena, their highest ranking watched quietly. The Court members appeared in stars, sparkling the colours of the rainbow, Kalinka nods... The battle begins
Oscuro raised his sword, an almighty roar from his generals erupted intermingled with the booing of Ilumina's commanders. His sword, Izera, reflected the powerful light of the sun onto Ilumina. Lowering his sword to let the woman get her crowd cheering and giving her permission to strike first, as only a barbarian will go before a lady, even if the lady has been his enemy almost from birth.
Ilumina rolled her eyes when the cheers for her foe filled the air. Raising both her arms when it was her turn, her shield, Amorey, tied to her left arm, her crossbow, Telca, in the other hand. Taking the chance that was given, she fired her first arrow. Missed. In an instant her crossbow was loaded again for a second shot. Oscuro leapt forth to her and brang Izera down hard. Failed, his sword struck Amorey.
Both foes stepped back from each other, circling to get a better angle. Oscuro picked his shield from the edge of the arena, he knew her arrows were tipped and could not risk being hit by one. Ilumina fired again, aiming at his legs knowing he would bring his shield up to protect his body but not his legs. The small arrowhead pierced through his calf, within an instant his body was stunned. He collasped, giving Ilumina enough time to kick his sword away and to kick him in the process. Seconds after her kick he regained control of his body, he now rose without weapon. The deep husky shout broke the almost silent arena "IZERA!" the sword obeying return to his hand. He muffled the words "Cowards weapon" which in return Ilumina mocked back "It does the job just as well"
Angered by her success in the attack, he no longer wanted to give her some slack. They circled again, this time neither removing their eyes from each other. In a short sudden burst, his screams caused her to jump, he charged towards her. Adrenaline caused her no to react and which caused her downfall. His sheild clashed with hers, her strength could not match his and she fell to the ground, crossbow knocked aside. She only got up by kicking him where is hurts. Scuffling up and grabbing her crossbow again, it was too late he was back at her, the crossbow again kicked from her hand and her being forced to the ground by his shield. It was clear she was no match for him without her crossbow but everytime she would kick him and reach for it.
From the edge of the Courts positions in the arena. Stasyfe watched baring his teeth everytime Oscuro knocked the young lady down. No man would use that barbaric training against a woman. His love was losing and there was nothing he could do, or was there? He looks towards Kalinka, the wise goddess. Somehow she senses his eyes apon her.
Kalinka's own dart towards Stasyfe "What is it?" her mystical voice asks. "I have a better idea, my lady Kalinka. Ilumina is the maiden of happiness and many respect her, those who don't are merely peasants and they follow that matter of dirt they dub a man, a leader! Oscuro is nothing but rubbish and harseles that needs to be rid of any way possib-" Kalinka cuts him off suddenly "Are you saying you want a war? Are you saying you want a Hajan Hell Two? I will not consider such thing" Stasyfe shakes his head pleading with the wise "There needs to be this, there needs to be an answer as to who is best, and Hajan Hell Two will decide that. It will determin who can rule their side better in times of crisis"
Fayesa listens silently before she steps in "I disagree! Hajan Hell Two will only kill more lives and cause more enemies" Stasyfe glared at Fayesa but kept calm "Silence! You are merely a peacekeeper, a goddess of life, it is your duty to keep the peace, you know nothing what this land needs. It will not create more enemies, those who follow Ilumina will stay with her and those who follow that pathetic man Oscuro will stay with him or come to their senses and go with the lady" Kalinka looks towards the two battling and sighed. her gaze then moved to their ranking officers, another sigh, many of them would die but she could not think of anything else "If a Hajan Hell is what we need. Then a Hajan Hell is what we will get"
Kalinka lets out a misty cry "People of Haja. The only way to decide who is better, is for a Hajan Hell" Just as she finished some of the people below her, panick and start to shuffle about. Stasyfe looks down at them and realises they are only Oscuro's peasant followers "Well it will be easy to find out who will win my lady" He smiled...
Just as he was about to say 'Oscuros followers are afraid, the great warlords of Haja', there is a deep scream from the arena as Oscuro's people stop to listen to him rears "Warlords, do not complain it is the will of the wise" He placed his sword down and raised both arms to silencing. Suddenly they all stop and listen to the rest of what he had to say. "My goddess Kalinka the wise. We will fight til a fair victor, but may I ask. We be given powers to show how we can control them and so you know how we will act with power"
Kalinka thinks then nods "You will be given powers" everyone starts cheering (both Elysian and Capital) "BUT" her firm voice continued they suddenly stop once again "Only you and Ilumina will hold power." She looks at Infernite, who in return nods "Oscuro Horez Knight I give you power of... C A S C A D A R I T E!" just as she stopped speaking, a blaze of fire and earth surround Oscuro, the Fire and dirt burning him, as it seeped into his skin his form was taken by another, a equinic monster. He was given the power of the deadly fire demon also known as 'Cascade' his body resumes its original state, his orbs flaming red then slowly back to brown. His breathing laboured, heart ponding.
Stasyfe jaw drops "Cascade my lady? Don't you think that is too strong?" Kalinka shakes her delicate head turning towards Fayesa who, like Infernite, nods. Kalinka continues "Ilumina Elle Hunter I give you the power of... C Y C L O N I A C!" just as suddenly as before the beautiful Ilumina is surrounded by bolts of lightning and water streams. The water soaked her body while the lightning shot throught it, her body began to change. Ilumina was given the power of the fearful felinic water creature, known to all as 'Cyclone' her body returns to normal her eyes ablaze blue and slowly forming normal again, her legs began to buckle with the loss of energy but she managed to keep herself stable.
Stasyfe nods to Kalinka. Fayesa glares at Stasyfe, then gazes down sadly to the innocent mortals. Infernite watched coldly at what was going on, he seemed ashamed but spoke nothing and instead stood back to let Kalinka finish "Stasyfe as the good friend of Tiral you will be our Judge and Juror until the hell is over" Oscuro stood amazed, not did he want or expect that, on the otherhand Ilumina accepts Stasyfe as the new Judge knowing he loves her and she can defeat her lifelong foe moreso now with Stasyfes help. The Capital lord even more enraged but still determined to become Judge, sets off to the Capital City-State. Ilumina walks to Stasyfe, they embrace in a gentle kiss then the lady departs to the Elysian Estates.

The Enemy Conquests « Result #11 on Dec 26, 2005, 10:57am »
Hajan Hell I Infernite was left with but one son, Fuego. It was his son who struck and killed Stasyfe. It was his son who called the retreat for both sides after the death of their kings. Tiral too was left with one son, Radwan. Both took the place of their fathers, king of their people. Radwan found out the only reason Fayesa was in the enemy campsite was to discuss peace, so in honour of her, they discussed peace. The Elysionars gave the Capitolern People land to build on. Althought for 500 years neither were at complete peace. Soon something was to set them on fire once again, and that something drew near.
Radwan found a wife and had a daughter... Ilumina. Fuego already had a son before Infernites death... Oscuro. Ilumina was merely 16 when she ventured into the woods that split the Estates of Elysian from the City-States of Capitale. She found an old stag wounded in the hind, and felt pity for it. Although it was wild it felt a sense of security with her and did not try to hurt her. Touching its sweet velvet nose and slowly moving her hands to its rump to remove its arrow, not caring it was the colours of flames like the Capitales arrows. Her hand rested on its rump and applied some pressure so the removal wouldn't be as painful. "Ooo! Touch my arse like that and I will show you what a real man can do" The cool, calm voice of an obvious Capitale man broke in.
Ilumina did not make any sudden movements as to not scare the stag. She stood gracefully, her eyes meeting with the Prince Oscuros. There was two other men with him she knew this only because she heard their chuckling. Tilting her chin high in noble arrogance "Please sir, refrain from speaking your inferior mind. I am naught interested in a foul Capital" The forest echoed the impressed tones of all three men as they mockingly said 'ooooo' at her. Oscuro edged his dark mount forward, causing her to step back from its heavy hooves "You have a flash tongue with words, dame. Can it be used for aything else?" The men chuckled again to their princes words.
A cold glare stuck to the beautiful Iluminas face, met by Oscuros tongue running along teeth to mock her more. He decided to stop playing, his men were hungry "That is our stag, dame" She turned to see the poor fumbling deer "You horrible man! We, at the Estates, kill prey instantly by accuracy, you dare leave this poor beast to die in pain" He Leant down to her eye level for greater intimidation "You keep argueing with us it will remain in pain until I snap its neck, dame! Now move before I hurt you" Not knowing what he meant by 'hurt' she had no choice but to submit, she would not stand in the way of freedom for the old stag.
Ilumina decided to leave before they changed their minds about letting her go. She swore she would never look at that Prince Oscuro without slapping him across the face first for cruelty. She was upset her next meeting was to be all too soon. Her father had organised a banquet in honour of the king and prince of the Capitales. While poised at the table her eyes met Oscuros and he suddenly reconised her. A smirk spread his lips, she felt sick and stood up to retreat to her room. She was closely followed by her new 'friend' Oscuro "Dame, why are you running? Cant wait to get to the bedroom, eh?"
Ilumina was fed up by his arrogance, quickly swinging around to face him, a mischief smirk to her features. In the most posh, seduction tone she could muster, her words came fourth without her own consent "Actually I thought you needed a bath and knew you would follow me to my bedchamber. Tell me, would you like a bath Prince Oscuro?" Her eyes widen in shock, she did not want to say that. The princes eyebrows raised and he smirked cooly at her "Are you accepting my courtship, dame?" "I might, sir" Eyes widen in shock again, she had no idea what she was getting herself into and didnt want to know.
To her remedy, a statue of the godly Stasyfe stood proudly near. It was then Oscuro had met realised he was passing a through a temple corridor, he stood back from her, but not without his final words "I coward I am not, this is no retreat, just a moment for thought. Dame, we shall continue this in the forest tomorrow, join me" Turning his armoured back towards her but stopping suddenly to add "I believe a lady of court, what more an Elysian, would not lie and think they deserve a place better than the Abyss... Wouldnt you agree, dame?" Ilumina stood shocked what did he mean? He decended to the shadows and into the dining hall. The fair lady looked closer in the shadows at a statue of a large black cat, The hellcat of Abyss, under it words written in the ancient tongue of Haja.
Illumina felt sick, her head spun and she began to feel dizzy. It seemed the near silent grumbling of the cat was heard. The statue began to ove. It slowly slinked out of the shadows, its yellow eyes watching carefully of the young princess, without warning his snarls echoed in the walkway. Intermingled with the violent crys was the husky, accented voice of Infernite. Was she mad? The old king of the Capitales was dead! Her heart pounded, she now knew what Oscuro meant. Her eyes lingered on the Hajan words beneath the statue cat, the words echoed in her mind but lingered in her head like a bad dream, a nightmare... Deaths fate relies on actions in life. Liars, theives, murderer's and traitors will be punished in the Abyss, forever.
In the forest none but few know, Ilumina and Oscuro met. For many hours it was quiet, until the lady bursted from the forest, tears lining her cheeks. Her light chiffon dress stained with blood at the hem. A knight watched carefully from the dge. The moment she departed so too did he plunge towards her, a look of worry on his face. Ilumina crashed into him, on purpose, arms wrapping around his neck. Tears flooded her face, all the while she tried to speak, her words deciphered was 'it hurt, so much' words which would only mean rape.
The Knight sat down with her, speaking words of comfort. With the setting sun as their onlook and the Elysian Estates as their backdrop, they spoke, discussing. None but those two know what they said but whatever it was made them both happy. In the courts the next day, the fury of rape was all they spoke. None knew how this would be avenged but decided the death of Oscuro was best. When the option was given to the Capitolern Government, they were outraged. Neither side agreed... "Oscuro did not rape Ilumina, I believe my sons word over your daughters" ... "Ilumina would naught dare lie to court, lie to her father! Your son is being untruthful" ... "You dare say my son is SLANDEROUS?" ...
With the arguement finally ending with Fuegos remark "YOU BASTARD! YOU WILL DIE A SLOW AND PAINFUL DEATH, I PROMISE!" and by Radwan adding "I will be more than happy to as long as I watch your blood cascade this earth FIRST!" Both stormed from the Mutual Court to their own side, bringing their people the same message, a war was soon to come. While they prepared for the worse, Oscuro was hunting alone in the forest, the land was fogged so it was hard to see how far he had gone. With the talk of war and the sides enemies once again, straying to another mans terra would meant certain death. Instead he met up with the least one he wanted to see, Ilumina.
"Rape? You Elysians would do anything to get your war with us" he knew now he was in Elysian Territory and he was a fool for insulting Elysians infront of them, but he needed to hear her excuse. Ilumina kept a stern face, at first her eyes were into oblivian then they slowly trailed up Oscuros body to lock with his eyes, for a brief moment they did but she quickly looked away tears filling her eyes. Staring blankly at the ground around his feet, she spoke softly as noble as she could, in fear. "You lied, sir. You should also not be here, they will kill you on sight" Anger swept over him but as always he kept his cool and relaxed tone, hoping to cause her frustration "What would you care? I raped you, dame, remember?"
"SHUT UP!" Illumina could not take the pressure any longer, tears now fell freely down her face, her body quivered and collasped in a heap at Oscuros feet. He watched her, unknowing of what to say or do, he felt the urge of comparseion but could not put it into work. Ilumina mumbled two words "Ho mentito" unable to understand her speech he took this as his leave. Illumina watched his retreating back, then repeated in a more unstandable tone and in the common speech "I Lied! Damn me!" a new reign of tears followed her words with mumbled 'failure', 'lied' and 'dishonour' mixing with the sobs.
With this new infomation Oscuro could have ceased the first war. Ilumina felt horrid about herself and would easily snap under pressure but the prince did not want to see her fall. He understood the words of dishonour and failure, it was a bad sign in his kingdom and as much as he did not admit it, he liked Ilumina. The battles waged high, thousands upon thousands died. Until the last battle which was decided would end the war to its victor. The kings challenged each other in a champions match.
As the battle waged on, the good king Redwan began to flail. The cruel battle tactics and drills of the Capitales was no match for him. It would be wise to say Radwan fell only in his last breath, death came to him not with an instant blow, he just suddenly collapsed already dead before the fall. The victor was Fuego and the Capitales. Rejoice it was and the matter of rape was to never be risen again. Peace broke out even after Fuego had parseed from the champion battle wounds, it was a sign of greatness amung the Capitales.

The First Creation « Result #12 on Dec 26, 2005, 10:25am »
This story has been fabricated by both sides to include the loved goddess Kalinka and the eternal greatness of their kings, brave men and sweet Fayesa.
The First Creations Back in time all the land was at peace, but that soon changed. A threat from the Sea upset the peaceful balance between man. They were clad in furs and bore markings of war on their faces. Both sides (Capitolern & Elysionar) were lead by powerful kings...
Tiral a fine warrior, great leader and superb lover. Many followed him to war and even death against the rivaling demons of the Oceanic. Tirals closest friend and whom he offen called brother by blood (though they were not) was Stasyfe. Fayesa was a young maiden of Tirals Court, a fair place for the Elysionars.
Infernite, blood-thirsty and in dire need of new land as the small island in which his people, The Capitolerns, was beginning to be overpopulated, the food running low. Took his armies to the mainland where they clashed with Tirals, whom were defending their homes and soil. The battle began but ended quickly with the victory to the crusaders across the sea.
The maiden Fayesa, hated war and death it seemed everyone around her believed it was the only way. After the battle ended and the few survivors returned she approached king Tiral 'Please. My Lord. May I speak my mind? The Demons of the South, they are merely after land. Land in which we have plenty of. Perhaps you can order a peace and give them refuge in our lands, give them a kingdom fertile as ours was given to us by the wise Kalinka'
Tiral loved his sister but did not trust the invaders were as kind hearted as she. "Fayesa, dear sister of mine. The Oceanics are naught kind, considerate and sweet as you. They would laugh and call a coward on me for even suggesting. They will see it as surrender, naught peace. You very well know I never surrender" her attempt for no more death, failed by her brothers will, but not her own.
In the dead of night Fayesa left the main city, her array was a light summer chiffon dress covered by a heavy, thick, blue cloak. She headed straight for the enemy campsite, set just over the mountains just as she got to the forest she was caught. The scouts took her right where she wanted to go... to Infernites Tent, to order a peace.
Infernite, lay naked on top of a pile of furs, stood up to greet her, more like mock her "You are a fool to enter a mans military camp. My troops will be pleased for another to play with" Fayesa tilted her chin higher, to show she was not mere servent, she was a lady of court 'Perhaps you could put some clothes on, you are scaring me' Her voice showed no fear but the same mockery tone he used on her.
Tiral sat in the temple of Kalinka, muttering words to her, asking for help on the situation. His sword Farloth before his form, he knelt down infront of a crystal statue. The cool silence of the temple was broken by the sudden entrance of Stasyfe "My Lord-" he too knelt to the statue of Kalinka then rose to continue "The enemy has siezed the Lady Fayesa"
"Im scaring you? You have never seen a man full before?" Infernite stepped closer to Fayesa, his chin just level with her eyes "You are virgin, ahh I see now why you came. The men of your city do not compare with mine and you wished for your first to be your finest?" The two guards in the room chuckled, a smirk played on Infernites lips. 'You mock me sir, for that is naught why I venture to your foul campsite. I wish to discuss terms of peace
"How long have they had her?" Tiral had quickly changed to armour and was now ringing the bell for his troops to resemble. "She left at about mids night my lord" Tiral looked out to the night sky then back to Stasyfe "That is an hours before" Tiral mounted his war stallion and spoke to his troops "They have taken our lady of court, she must be recaptured before nights end. If you die, you die with honour. If you live, you cheer, that you still can die another day" Raising his sword they began their march.
Infernite laughed "Peace? That word is distant to me, explain yourself by the word peace and I may grant you death" Fayesa then knew that Tiral was right, this king had no kindness but she decided to still try 'Peace, my lord, is when two kingdoms agree they will naught fight one another and the kingdoms give tribute to one another' Infernites smirk now empty from his face, his features set like cold stone "You lie to me. Tribute means surrender, you wish for me to give your kingdom tribute in return we get our lives?"
Capitolern drums beat the war march, informing camp; the enemy approaches. From inside the kings tent, one can hear the sound of men calling orders and armour clanging. While Fayesa turned to see the shadows parseing, Infernite got dressed. Fayesa turns briefly while he was getting dressed, just as Infernite was going to look up at her, she quickly turned around and put her attention back on the sights and sounds outside.
Tirals armies were large by numbers yet their strongest fell to the enemies in the first battle. Now Tiral had the weaker troops and they're enemy had still their strongest warriors. They stood before each other, Tiral ordering his Commanders to take their troops down to battle. Suddenly a sweet, mystical voice fell to King Tirals ears. Was it a dream or the voice of Kalinka herself? Real? He looked to the skies where it came from, he then knew it was Kalinka who was speaking to him.
Infernite was on his mighty steed pacing ahead of his standing warriors. His words of victory, reward and food filling the cool night air. He stopped suddenly in silence, he heard a voice in the air. It was a sweet, mystical tone, he had not heard a woman so pure before. He silenced his men so he could hear her words, words no-one else could hear, or so he thought. Turning to his General in question "Did you hear that?" the general shook his head. The king was not sure whether it wasa the heat of the moment and just a voice in his head calling refuge.
Fayesa stood in silence watching the quick reaction of Infernites armies, she was impressed. She had never seen an army gather so quickly and be ready to fight so thoughtlessly. She saw the Capitolern king pause, she wondered why he could heard the fair voice of Kalinka too. He did not worship her like her people did why would she speak to him? She listened to her voice, did Kalinka truely mean what she was saying? How could Fayesa do this? It was madness!
Infernite motioned his stallion to his tent again for a final word to Fayesa, a smirk spread his lips "Wait for me... Your cherry is mine" Fayesa was shocked at how straight forward he was, never would a man dare speak to a lady like that. Her stern look showed him his answer, 'You cannot be telling the truth when you say that'. Infernites smirked changed to seriousness "Am I telling the truth?" His expression showed no lies, he meant to take her and Fayesa knew it.
Tiral raised his sword which ordered his fourth wave to strike the enemy. The first Commander lead his armies down. They slowly made their way down the hill, Tiral watching closely on top with the rest of his army. Infernite quickly rushed to the front of his footsoldiers, calling to them "Hold your stance! Do not strike until they are on us! They have the upperhand of the hill. Form your defensive ranks!" Capitolern soldiers shuffled and moved forward, they brought their spears up and dug them deep into the soil. When the mounted riders reach them, the spears will take out the front horses.
Both sides met again with the cries of horses, the screams of pain and the cheers of fighting the enemy. Tiral raised his sword for the fifth wave to hit, which were female archers. After an hours of fighting, all 12 waves of Tirals army was in, the great king lead the last wave. Infernite was the first into the battle from his side, as the Capitolern rules state the king must be the first in and the last out.
Tiral and Infernite finally met each other face to face. For a moment they just circled each other. Tiral was the first to speak "You carry the sword Izera?" Infernite nodded "And you the Crossbow Telca?" Tiral shook his head. Without thought both men raised their swords and hit hard. Fayesa took to a scouting tower the Capitolerns built. She watched the two kings conflict, Tiral was getting beaten. What seemed like forever, the blade of Izera sliced through Tiral. His death was slow and painful, Fayesa screamed.
Just as sudden as the death of Tiral was, an arrow pierced through the thin armour of Infernite, right at the heart. Infernite fell backwards, wishing not to fall to his knees in submitance. He eyed who shot him, Stasyfe was standing, a crossbow to his heart. Before his own death he managed the words "Telca?" Stasyfe nodded, it was he whom held the crossbow Telca. Fayesa was about to scream to Stasyfe, an enemy general was charging his war beast towards her brothers dearest friend. But it was too late, Stasyfe fell dead, the blade striking his neck for an instant death.
Fayesa was paying too much attention to the death around her she did not hear the man come in up the steps behind her. Grabbing her by the mouth and tilting her head upwards, her throat was slit cleanly without care. As she lay choking her killer spoke "It was my orders. If our king should die, to slit your throat. If he can not have you nor will anyone else" Blackness finally hit her.
Tiral, Stasyfe, Infernite and Fayesa stood together in a small crystaline lake. They realised it was the Grand Courts of Fate (cept Infernite since he had never heard of it before) Kalinka walked towards them, bearing no smile but a welcome. "You all heard my voice. I have decided that this world needs more than legend. Welcome to the Grand Forts all of you"
Neither one declined the offer, for it was her voice they so heared in their mind and it was her voice telling them their fate shall lead them to greatness... Tiral... You will fall by the blade of Izera Infernite... You will fall by the arrow of Telca Stasyfe... You will fall by the iron of a Prince Fayesa... You will fall by the knife of Greed

You must write in english for the majority of your talk. Use your other language for mockery or seduction. If you decide to write in a different language to mock someone it is pointless if they are your own because they will know it. I do not want to see you ONLY speaking that tongue, it will get confusing. Use your tongue wisely not perpetually.

Ranking Stats « Result #16 on Dec 26, 2005, 7:14am »
--------The information below is purely for my benifit and you in no way have to learn or understand it. It is the means I use to judge evenly, rp skilled, matched fights.
Essence Points, Offense Points & Defense Points Each person has a number of Offense points (what damage you do when you attack once: Weapon) Defense points (the number of points you have when being attacked once: Armour) and Essence Points (how long it will take to kill you: Life) Below is the average of each sides points...
Capitale Scouts have 60 EP, 3 DP and 5 OP Cavalry have 70 EP, 5 DP and 10 OP Cavaliers have 80 EP, 7 DP and 15 OP Cataphracts have 90 EP, 10 DP and 20 OP Legions have 100 EP, 13 DP and 25 OP Hoplite have 110 EP, 15 DP and 30 OP Phalanx have 120 EP, 17 DP and 35 OP Centurion have 130 EP, 20 DP and 40 OP
Elysian Peasants have 40 EP, 2 DP and 1 OP Scouts have 50 EP, 4 DP and 5 OP Knights have 60 EP, 6 DP and 7 OP Lords have 70 EP, 8 DP and 10 OP Lady Archers have 70 EP, 8 DP and 10 OP Barons have 80 EP, 11 DP and 15 OP Viscounts have 90 EP, 14 DP and 20 OP Counts have 100 EP, 18 DP and 25 OP Marquis have 110 EP, 21 DP and 30 OP Dukes have 120 EP, 25 DP and 35 OP
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You are your character, in each battle/conflict whether it be with an enemy or your own side, you lose your ES. To raise it to full strength again you must rest for 1 week OR go to your leader to be healed.
Cant figure out how it works, but want to know? Here is a scenario of a Capitale Cavalry Man and an Elysian Baron if they held no weapons to fight with.
Baron strikes first causing 15 damage (OP is 15) Cavalry is defended 11 of that 15, damage is only 4. Cavalry strikes causing 10 damage (OP is 10) Baron is defended 11 of that 10, damage is 0.
The baron would naturally win this fight... Now this is a scenario of an Weaponed Cavalry Man.
Baron Armour - None (Giving 0 extra DP) Cavalry Weapon - Short Sword, Mace (Giving 7 more OP)
Baron strikes first causing 15 damage Cavalry is defended 11 of that 15, damage is only 4. Cavalry strikes causing 17 damage. Baron is defended 11 of that 17, damage is 6.
This would be a very slow battle but in time the Cavalry will win. Chances are both Baron and Cavalry will have weapons and armour, this is just an example and an explanation of how I will judge fights (as well as based on RP skill and realism)
