The Journey to the Ledgendary Draconian Blade

[raive]

Raive hastened to follow her, looking at the shield on the wall. "This shield may be useful if we want the blade... nevermind. Sword and shield and all that..." he walked out of the room and into the elevator.

Sammy looked sad " Yeah he said our dad stole it , that probably was my family's fault i apologize if my family is involved in this , sometimes i'm thankful to be alone my father and mother also left with my brother, i had a weird family" sh esays shaking her head.

"It's fine we didn't need it. There weren't any others to teach, Everyone believed that a Spell Weaver was a witch and that the quicker we were killed the easier their lives would be. .....Stop here" Eiva says pointing to the forest they had now found. "We need to be on foot and enter over there so as to confuse what ever awaits us in that forest. " Eiva says not looking up from the map.

After venturing down from the motel, and getting onto the motorcycle, Jade took off through the city and out on the island and to the sacred ruins of a once tall and proud city. She lead Raive over the island, going past various cities, before going though a sort of desert area of the island, before eventually, the bright blue sky suddenly became clouded over by dark clouds. Jade looked up at the clouds, sparking with lightning. This doesn't happen naturally... Jade thought, This must be the power of the dragons still intact within the area. Eventually, Jade lead Raive to the perimeter of the forest within the desert area. It was strangely unnatural, a forest within a desert. It must have been the dragons work... they did work miracles.

Jade got off the bike and eyed the forest edge, fixing her hair wind blown ever so slightly from riding helmet-less, "Okay..." she sighed, "This must be the place. Frightening to say the least how the dragons still hold power within this area, even though they're gone now... maybe. This might be difficult to traverse..." she turned to Raive, "Raive, do you feel heavy-headed at all? I'm no Lugia expert, but I do know that the dragons were able to distemper the supernatural powers of some species. This atmosphere could mess with your psychic abilities."

[Eiva]

Sioda tripped getting off of the bike with a loud cry. Eiva shook her head at him and yelled at him to get up.

[Aaron]

Sammy turned the bike back to a small size and put it in her bag " ok let's go I think our "friends" are here too".

[raive]

Raive simply followed her as she navigated the various paths that would take them to their destination. As soon as he entered the forest, however, his flight began to shudder and palsy as something messed with his mind.

He managed to land - but he fell heavily as he did so, panting. He convulsed. "J-Jade... I..." he let out an unnatural scream as he lost consciousness.

He was jerked awake in a dark space. Who dares trespass on our most sacred land, our last stronghold!? many voices seemed to yell.

"It... it is I, Raive Brand. I seek the Draconian Blade--"

Fool! You are unworthy! Go, leave this place, before you lose your life!

"I seek the Draconian Blade to protect my mate and partner, who is pregnant!"

Is this the truth? Or are you deluding yourself?

"I am true in purpose and mind! She will die without the additional protection."

Liar.

"What?"

LIAR! We see into your mind, and you desire not only the blade to protect your mate, but to become more powerful! You seek to crush all humans who wish to harm your mate!

"No, I--" but he knew that the voices were speaking the truth. He did desire additional power and he did want to destroy the humans. But that was because of their own selfish desires to capture a Lugia. He explained this to the voices.

The voices paused. Let the trials decide whether or not you are worthy, then. As for your friend, she is not welcome - her fate will be death should she proceed. Of that you may be certain. She is a mere treasure hunter.

"She has decided to let me have the blade."

Can you really trust her?

"I--no, I can't."

Fine, the trials will decide for her as well. But she has less of a chance to survive than you.

Raive suddenly awoke, panting and sitting bolt upright. "The spirit of the dragons are still here, Jade. They spoke to me just then. Here's what they said." He relayed the conversation they had. "You've proven able to negotiate traps, but they seemed certain that you'd die. Are you still willing to take that risk?"

[cobra]

"Raive," Jade said, reaching out to help him up, "I've been in places where I know I wouldn't survive. Look at me now." she chuckled, helping Raive up on his feet, "Now before we go in there, I need to do something with you. Don't argue, no questions, try not to resist, and don't tell the misses," with that quick jabber, Jade sauntered closer to Raive, grabbed his face and pushed her lips onto his. She forced her tongue in his mouth, slathering the thick paralyzing saliva in his mouth. She knew that because of the concoction she mixed still floating around in Raive's bloodstream, the paralyzing agent was neutralized by the liquid from the plant, causing it to turn into another chemical; one that increases the 5 senses. IN Raive's case, this would assist with his psychokinetic abilities.

Jade slid her tongue out from Raive's mouth and licked her lips, "Mm... no wonder why Spirit stays with you," she teased, "You're a good kisser... but besides that, how do you feel?

[Eiva]

Sioda got up truned on the balls of his feet and yelled "TO THATTA WAY!"

Eiva started to laugh then yell at him for making it easy to find them.

[raive]

Raive nodded. "Sure, what is-- mrph!" He struggled for one moment as she pressed her mouth against his, but then he gave himself over to his urges and allowed her to slide his tongue in his mouth. During this, however, he fell into a sense of deep dismay. After all this, she's going to paralyze me and leave me for dead... I knew it!

But curiously, that didn't happen. As she slid her tongue out of his mouth, he sighed. "Oh, Spirit? She'll stay with me all right, but after this... wait a second." He felt his senses... sharpening. Like... he saw more colors and detail. He could smell the surrounding area more accurately. Feeling himself, he could feel every crease in the leather he was wearing and every tiny feather. He could almost taste the air, and he could hear insects buzzing from farther away. "Did you just... heighten my senses? Curious way to do that... was that what the original liquid was for?"

[cobra]

Jade wiped her mouth of the drool escaping her lips, "Mhm," she nodded, "This is the second time in my life I've done this to someone. The leaf syrup I mixed with my spit was filled with chemicals that could kill a person if they ingested it. When mixed with the spit of my species, both poisons sort of conflict with each other. A chemical reaction takes place, and an immunity to my spit is created. Now the anti-venom holds a whole lot of other chemical compounds and what not... the main one which takes the nerve paralyzing properties of my spit and creates a new compound; one that heightens the senses, like you said. Science!" she clapped her hands together, "What a wonderful thing it is!"

"Anyway," she turned to the forest, "I expect there to be traps and enemies. Be on guard. Let's go." And into the forest she went.

[raive]

Raive let out a little laugh and walked into the forest, examining the area for traps, both physical and mystical in nature.

(OOC: We can alternate traps.)

The first trap was an unnatural fog. Raive looked at it, examining it closely. "This reeks of power. Let me try to get rid of it, Jade." He beat his wings furiously at the fog. The fog flowed backwards for a second - and then surged forward, threatening to engulf Raive. Raive let his passive barrier expand into a sphere of shimmering energy to encompass him and Jade. The fog swirled around them, blocking all vision. "I don't know what this fog will do, but I'm certain that it's nothing good. What do you want to do? Do you have something that'll allow us to press forward?"

[cobra]

Jade looked around at the fog, "It seems as if this fog negates anything trying to get through it..." she said, pulling out a flare gun from her bag and shooting one shot at the fog. The flare disappeared mid-way through the fog before the same thing happened with Raive's Defog attempt (lol pokemon moveset ftw), only the fog didn't blast at them this time. It only hissed at her, blowing her clothing about, "We just need to find the end of this fog to keep moving, but from what I can tell, if we move through this fog, we're gonna end up walking around in circles... So... lets see if this'll work... She grabbed the rope grapple and moved through the fog, swinging it before tossing it straight ahead. The hook disappeared in the fog, and the rope Jade was holding unraveled. She stopped when the rope ran out and the grapple didn't hook anything.

"There's got to be a tree or a stone somewhere where I can hook onto..." she muttered, raveling up the grapple again for another try, "This fog must be a wall of some sort so I just... have to..." she tossed the grapple again, this time, she heard an audible clank on something, "Got it!" she shouted in success, tugging gently at the rope to see if she caught a tree. The grapple slid loosely, noting Jade that she had hit a rock, and the grapple didn't hook onto anything, "Okay, all we need to do is follow the string. C'mon!" She walked through the fog, pulling the rope along, leaving Raive to wind it up, keeping him from loosing her.

[raive]

Raive nodded, keeping a close hand on the rope, following behind Jade. Eventually, the fog cleared after a few minutes. "Good, we're still alive--erk!" He got a headache as the voices sounded in his head again.

Can you make it through the rest? It was by her doing that you made it past the fog... without her, you never would have gone through. It'll only get harder from here on...

[Eiva]

Sioda ran out of the fog and right into ---Jade. With a loud yelp he jumps back and hides behind Eiva who was walking out of that fog like a boss.
