A Light that Guides Us ~ {Open}

[♥ kats KAT kats ♥]

[Hmm, here to feed my muse when it comes. I have no clue where to have this RP but it shall be up soon. Just needed it here to remind me.
Cha so I guess it came sooner...]

Twilight Town

Screams. Painful screams. Screams of agony. Of torture. Please, please. Shut the sounds out. Clasp my hands over my ears. Block it out. It won't go away. It won't. Please please, someone help us!

Something has happened to Twilight Town. It isn't the same. Something terrible has happened to it. Something is terribly amiss. Something has gone wrong. No one is there to save them. No one. Everyone inside of Twilight Town are all victims. All are terrorized, terrified of the agonizing screams. The screams of people running, running and then of terror at their last breath. Their last sound. Of their dying.

Who will save them? No one? Will they all die eventually? All they can do is hope. But what much hope is there? Many are scattered among Twilight Town taking shelter. Shelter inside of the old mansion. In the train station. In the clock tower. Hide outs. Many many places. But soon, they would be found. Will there be someone to save them?

Who.

will

save

them?

Upon entering her home, Twilight Town, it is all but quiet. Too quiet. Her small pointy ears prick upwards, sensing something amiss. What can it be? Then a heart-breaking scream rips through the night air. Her eyes go wide as she realizes This. Is. Not. the place she once called home. It was nothing but ash. "W-w-where is my home?" She whispers to herself. Now she wished she was with Pierr. Safe with him. She had to get some things from Twilight Town. Had to check up on things at her small apartment that she rented. To make sure everything was okay.

It wasn't. FAR from it.

Who will save us?

The screams that echoed all around the abandoned world of eternal twilight seemed to shake the very soul of Raphael. For what reason did he come here anyways? He had used his transportation spell to take him to go and see a very well known master of spells and it somehow led him here. He knew the moment he took his first steps here that this was not the place. But for some reason one that he just couldn't understand, his heart felt as if it were leading him in the right direction. Funny thought one should be thinking right?

Raphael sat down by a nearby bleacher so that he could calm his nerves. He knew he couldn't be scared now, young men should never show their fear. They must overcome their fears or they will not be able to perform with their entire self. This was one of the many lessons he recalled back home. He grabbed onto his deck and pulled himself together enough to get back up with a stiff upper lip. His eyes were burning with courage now as if he were ready to take anything and anyone on now.

That is until he heard some footsteps of a person nearby. He instantly flipped backwards and hid behind the bleacher. Now in a fetal position, Raphael could only wish that he was back home with his family and have his older brothers protect him from the monster that was about to attack him. He took a peak to see the shadow of the person as they were getting closer. It was now do or die, he had to use his family's mystical cards and defend himself against this person. He could no longer be scared, he was not a child anymore. He drew his first card out and waited to strike. He then jumped from behind the bleacher like a madman. "You're not gonna get me you monster! Now face the might of my magic cards!!!"

Walking through twilight town walked a cloaked man. A steady stream of smoke wafted into the air following him staining the air with the powerful smell of tobacco. This man had seen many battles in his life but even he was unnerved by the screams and moans of torment and despair which engulfed the air around him. "What the hell happened here?" He muttered as he looked around trying to remember the twilight town he had once known. "Was I gone that long? Did this happen because I couldn't help?" The man had been away for months having to deal with a problem on his home world of Eyunna. He jumped a little at each scream he heard turning. The man was being led by a small red light which had summoned him to this place, He figured it would either lead to someone that needed him or the person responsible for this catastrophe. Little did he know there were three lights each guiding warriors to this place. The three that were destined to help, he was Neo Xiayou one of the three. As he walked he spotted something move quickly behind some bleachers. Neo pulled out his F.O.E Rifle and aimed it at the bleachers quickly. Walking slowly now he tried to approach the bleachers and see if it was either a monster or a civilian. When suddenly the person spring forth "Cut it out! I am not a hostile!" He commanded as he held up his palm and created a shell aura in front of him to protect himself from the upcoming attack. He looked in his hand and spotted... A card? Was this kid for real? It didn't matter, Neo could tell he was gonna need his help somehow...

The screams continued as the t-two-oo w-w-waa rr ii oo rr ss... entered the world, struggling amongst themselves. Instead of trying to figure out what exactly was wrong, what had gone wrong here in Twilight Town. A place full of L I F E. Now full of D.e.a.t.h.

Why must they quarrel with themselves instead of helping others?

Best not to fight each other.

A voice entered the two warrior's ears. But no one could be seen. Only the bright red light floating in front of the two warriors. Had it made the noise? Had it? Or had something else. It floated there, as if waiting for them to do something. It then zoomed around and then joined together with the other light, that had a yellow hue to it instead of red. As they joined they made a orange color.

It was the only light besides the flames of destruction, from the buildings. The orange red hue of the flames flickered off of the buildings that remained standing. But would they remain standing forever? The sky had turned into an ashy color. Dark and dreary. Not the orange pink hue that the sky in this world was normally. The place even stunk of death. Of ash. Of fire.

What

exactly had

happened here?

And where were the other warriors? Or warrior?

[Shinn]

Just as he was about to attack what he thought to be a monster, the monster revealed himself to be just a man. Raphael held down his card halting his attack. Letting out a sigh of relief Raphael put his cards back in his deck holder. It was then he heard the voice of another person speaking to Raphael. He looked around to see where it came from but saw no one other than the man in front of him.

Just when he was about to ask the man if he was the one who had said that a light flew across Raphael. Startled by the sudden appearance of a random floating light, Raphael jumped back a bit and began to reach for his deck once again.

The bright then zoomed around and then joined together with another light, that had a yellow hue to it instead of red. As the two lights joined they made a orange color.

"What the heck? Did you do this?" Raphael asked looking back at the man from before. Was it the one who had spoken to Raphael? And if so did the other man hear it as well?

[neo]

"Yeah kid I'm an aspiring ventriloquist" He said dripping with sarcasm as he pulled out his cigarette and blew some smoke out of his mouth. He looked around for the source of the voice but could see nothing but flame and death. He then watched as his guiding light merged with a yellow one forming an orange one. "Symbolic..." Neo said with a smirk as he looked over at Raphael.

"Listen I'm just as surprised as you are kid... What would I gain from scaring the pants of you with a light?"
He asked as he looked back at the orange light watching as it waited in front of them. "Whoever is watching us is right... We shouldn't fight each other." He looked over at Raphael. "C'mon lets go look for who did this and hopefully any survivors. You can fight right?"[/color] Neo asked as he started to walk.

Neo began to walk toward the town. He stopped and made sure that Raphael was following. "So ya got a name kid?" Neo asked trying to make small talk as he looked at the Grey sky, a frown grew on Neo's face as he watched the burning buildings and sighed in anger. He was angry that he hadnt been there to prevent whatever happened here.[/size]

Meanwhile, in the Underground Concourse...

"Uncle, she's waking up!"

"Careful now..."

Steel-blue eyes slowly fluttered upon as consciousness returned to the young woman's body. A gradual sense of cold fell over her, like damp air, and a sound like water flowing nearby. As her vision slowly cleared, the wind knight looked up to see... mostly a gray haze. She could tell she was somewhere with a rounded cement ceiling. The ground under her felt cool and flat, and there seemed to be clouds... no, it was fog, drifting slowly by.

As she got up, the sound of something mechanical caught her attention. Well-trained combat instincts kicked in, and the young woman leapt to one side to avoid whatever was coming... though nothing came. An older man, a lynx, stood at some distance from her with a crossbow in hand, aimed directly at her. However, something about his face told her he was more interested in talking than fighting.

"Hold right there, young lady!" He instructed. "Not another step until you've answered some questions."

Melana didn't quite know what this was about, but now that she had a grip on the situation she realized she wasn't in that much danger. Behind the old lynx stood a young girl of the same species, soot-stained clothes and a large backpack doing nothing to hide the concerned, timid air about her. These people... they looked more like refugees than enemies. Surely not a serious threat.

She slowly stood, making sure to indicate that she didn't have any weapons. "My name is Melana Sonalir, and I'm not here to hurt you." Her gaze glanced around briefly, confirming that they were, indeed, in something not unlike a large sewer. "Where am I? What happened?"

The older lynx shook his head. "I know not, only that you fell through some kind of luminous trans-dimensional portal after we took shelter here." He took a step forward, pretending to be bolder than he obviously was. "You're wearing special armor, and that jewel around your neck radiates wind energies. Tell me... who are you really, girl?"

"Just a traveler, searching for a way to help my world."

"Oh no you don't. You can't fool this old man, child." There was a knowing look in Vates' eyes, a sparkle of secret knowledge. "You're more than just a traveler... you're a warrior, a soldier of the wind. I can see it, you know... see the energies that radiate from you. And I know what you are!"

"Armor, but no weapon..." He went on. His voice had a measure of accusation in it, though also a hint of excitement. "A gem fashioned to manipulate the wind... I'd heard rumors, of course, but to see one for myself is, indeed, quite a surprise. You, my dear... are a Kialon Knight!"

Melana tried, and failed, to hide her surprise. The monastic Order of the Kialon Knights was supposed to be a secret on her home world of Kurai, and there was no reason that people from other worlds should know anything about it! How... how then...

"How do you know that?"

The old man lowered his crossbow. "So, I was right, then. Hm hmn... most interesting. Believe it or not, young lady, I've been to Kurai - in fact," He gestured towards the young girl with the enormous backpack. "My young niece here grew up on that world."

"But that doesn't explain anything!"

"You'll find that I know a great many things I shouldn't, young lady." He chuckled, mirth having replaced fear in his eyes. He turned to the young lynx. "I think we're okay, Iris. These people are protectors, first and foremost."

The gray-furred lynx stepped forward. "Sorry to cause you such trouble. When the fire and chaos broke out my uncle and I took shelter in these tunnels. We were a bit surprised when that portal dropped you right in front of us... we're still not sure what's going on, but we should be safe here for the time being."

Melana didn't like what she was hearing. Fire and chaos? This girl made it sound like this place was in the middle of a war zone, but her vagueness and lack of any references to fighting gave the wind knight an ominous feeling. She inquired as to further details, but neither of them knew much. When they'd arrived in Twilight Town there had been fire everywhere, desolation all around, and those few people they saw all seemed to be running for their lives. The two hadn't stuck around to find out why, and made for a nearby entrance to the city's underground to avoid getting caught up in the disaster.

There were some brief introductions. Iris was an amateur metallurgist with special power over fire, and her uncle Vates was an arcane tinkerer with a penchant for the strange and unusual. The two had been traveling from world to world looking for Iris' brother, who'd been lost when a dark portal had opened up on Kurai. Melana was extremely troubled to hear that there were more portals opening there now.

"We can't stay here forever." The wind knight insisted. "I don't know how I got here, or why, but if people are in danger I need to try and help. It's my oath-sworn duty as a knight."

Vates sighed. "Very well... although I'm not eager to go back out into that mess, much less meet whatever caused it."

With reluctant agreement, the three headed for the nearest tunnel exit.

[♥ kats KAT kats ♥]

[Sorry sorry, Some game had my attention for awhile >_>
And this post is short.]

The light was no real threat, and at any point if any of the two decided to try and grab it their hand would just sink through it. Going through it. It was non touchable. But, when the time came it could touch anything. It floated there awhile and then floated forward some, wanting the two people. W a r r i o r s. To follow it.

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

The screams could be heard even from deep down in the tunnels underground. They seemed to echo off the tunnels, through the water. Eventually reaching the trio. But, one light was having trouble finding the warrior she was supposed to guide here. It zoomed through the city. Then felt her power. She stopped trying to figure out where it was coming from. She realized it was right underneath her. She looked down, though she was just a ball of light. A light blue one at that. She saw a man hole. And who was that coming out? The w a r r i o r she had been searching for. She zoomed down the man hole and zoomed around the warrior, trying to get her attention.

[nascent]

"Whaa...?!" Melana exclaimed, backing up and almost tripping in her surprised state. Suddenly out of nowhere a radiant ball of faintly blue light had appeared and began zooming around her like a moth attracted to a flame... although in this case the metaphor seemed a little lopsided. She grew tense, trying not to make any sudden moves.

Vates quickly stepped in to examine the situation, pulling down his emerald-hued goggles to get a better look. "Well well well... so this is what I was sensing. My word, how interesting!"

"What... what is it?" Melana asked, more than a little worried.

The old professor adjusted his goggles; strangely enough, there seemed to be a very faint green light coming from his eyes now... or was it just a reflection on the lenses? The wind knight couldn't tell. Several unbearably long moments of silence passed before Vates responded.

" . . . I don't think it's dangerous, although there clearly is a noteworthy power underlying its composition. It doesn't seem to be a spell, not in the traditional sense at least. It's more like... hmm, like a complex construction made of magical energies, though I can't quite identify what type. It may, even, be more than one kind making it up." He stopped, his jaw slowly dropping in surprise. "If... if I'm seeing this correctly... it has some of the same energy patterns as that make up most sentient life forms."

"Uncle, are you saying... that it's ALIVE?!" Iris exclaimed with wide-eyed surprise. "What... what if it's responsible for the screams and destruction?!"

"It doesn't seem malevolent, at least as far as I can tell." Vates lifted the goggles and placed a reassuring hand on his niece's shoulder. "If it is intelligent, we should be able to communicate with it... though, it only seems interested in you, young woman."

These new revelations didn't allow Melana to relax any. "So, what do I do? Can it hear us? How do I--"

"Calm down. Hmm, that pendant you wear, perhaps? Maybe if you focus your thoughts into that you can communicate with the magic construct."

It was worth a try... Melana calmed as much as she could, taking a long deep breath and clasping her pendant's gemstone with both her hands in a prayer-like fashion. 'Who... what... are you?' She thought, hoping the words going through her mind would reach the being of light. 'What do you want with me?'

[Shinn]

Raphael was now confused. When did orbs of light just talk to you? Even in his world where all kinds of magical ways to talk to each other ranged beyond normal peoples comprehension this was something new to him. His first assumption was that this ball of light was some kind of wandering spirit. He had read that they can take the form of glowing balls of light, and this thing was a glowing ball of light. Raphael was still standing there staring at the floating light as it moved around a bit not paying attention to what the other guy had just said. Maybe it was here to aid them in some way. It could possibly lead them to whatever caused all this destruction. Raphael decided to follow the ball of light instead of the other man.

"I-I think we need to follow this thing. It probably knows where we need to go." Raphael said behind his back as he continued to follow the ball of colored light. He was no longer afraid of the light, but at the same time he was still weary of the whole situation. He needed to be careful after all what if this thing led him to something he would not be able to stop? For now Raphael kept a good distance just in case.
