We could have tried to get information of it but Orcs are very stubborn it wouldn't have talked it would just asked for death. We must continue to the center I can feel the darkness coming from it. Skarlet walks towards the center of the Dark Forest, to the find the evil energy.

"STOP! This evil is too strong, it corrupts anything that enters it. My clan used to have a base here...and...It did not end well, for anyone. *clenches her stomach.* I came here to seek revenge and i became trapped, i do not want the same fate to befall anyone else."

Stops & walks up to her, "Tell us your story, what happened to your clan & you.

"At first, my clan was peaceful, a theft here, a murder there, but then some kind of corruption came to the forest. It made them insane, i was spared for some reason but trapped here, and......i lost my child. If you can help me break this then i will guide you to the end.

I see I'm sorry for your loss of your child & clan, I will help you break this curse that binds you to this forest, you are held to this by the evil of this forest, I will vanquish this evil & you will be free.

Thank you, I will aid you in defeating the evil that resides in the center of the forest. The ancient texts of our clan say that this would come and we did not listen, and they also say that at this final battle at least one of us will die.

Ancient texts aren't always right but if one of us is to die in battle against this evil then it is to be. *Looks to the center of the forest then around to this comrades behind him* I think this is a battle that her & myself should face alone.

Riyakou settles back to the ground to see the forest in near ruins, and the entire group together.

"Did it... did it work?"

Yes Riyakou it did, plus me obliterating the Orc leader into pieces ended the battle as well.

*Lego brushes the debris off of his gi, and walks further into the forest.*
You think that was it? That was just the beginning. There's a long road ahead, guys. Don't know if you wanna help, but I still have a goal in mind, and I'm not one to let go very easily.
*Rindo forms into a glove sword, engulfing Lego's fist. He steps into the ruin left to find what lay in the parts of the forest left untouched, where the orcs came from.*

I am going after this evil & she is too for revenge of her child & clan, follow us if you wish comrades *looks at Riyakou, Lego, Jironobou & Froid*

"Good job everyone, you too Boom, Now lets get going.Something tells me there is far worst horrors then orcs waiting for us."

Lets go, I must defeat this, for my clan, and my child.

Kirac falls to his knees as the absolute sends him another message.
"These creatures need to succeed at this, you as a Lord must help them in any way you can,some may distrust you cause of your being a demon but in the end it will be of no consequence.Help them.............."
Rising from his knees kirac continues to walk as if nothing happened.

Alright let's go, follows after her as the others follow on, Skarlet sees Kirac fall to his knees for a second then rise back up, thinking to himself strange but we have other things to worry about right now as eliminating this evil that curses this forest & her, & for her revenge.

after breaking one of the fleeing orcs necks Froid saw the others continue forward "well onward I must" with that, he does a quick twirl with his tomahawks before sheathing them while following the others

(OOC: Since it appears that everyone ignored Jiro's post and went with Riya's post, I'll just go from there. Sorry Jiro! I know yours came first, but it doesn't seem like anyone is following it.)

*Errg... This hurts... Eh? Riya is talking...*

"I know I was supposed to stay!.. But I'm not gonna be useless damnit... Not just yet... Not while my dogs are at stake..."

As Boom was pushed into the ward, he found himself gaining his energy back. While Riyakou was charging his attack, the ward of light went out entirely and Boom felt some of his energy come back. Suddenly, the attack Riyakou was charging came, full force into the forest.

Boom felt a surge of energy. The light engulfed him and he was suddenly awakened. His belly was full, his mind was clear, his energy on high. Now fully conscious, he saw the scene around him.

Everyone was done fighting, there were many bodies surrounding them and various creatures running from the area. Skarlet killed some dressed up orc and the others seemed to be recovering from the battle. Riyakou was now panting heavily, asking if it worked. As the other assured him that it did, Lego started walking.

He heard, felt, and sensed everything around him for a few moments. The creatures crying in fear, running in pain and anger, the voices around him, Lego's short speech, Kirac and the unnamed female's (unnamed to Boom at least) conversation about her clan, the crackle of an orc's neck.

He found himself floating in the air, although no one else seemed to notice. He wasn't glowing, but small charges of electricity would spark off of him.

As he realized what he was feeling, it was all over in an instant. He fell to the ground with a glorious 'thud'. Groaning in pain from the fall, he looks up and wonder what just happened.

*What... was.... THAT! It was like infinity was on high, like the sun froze over and then melted the ice, with the rain pouring down on.. The hell. When did I get poetic?.. Eh? Where's everyone going?*

"HEY! Where are you all headed? What happened to the lights, the action? And I call dibs on the orc meat. Lego, what else can your sword shift into? Can it become a frying pan?"

Noticing that he was being ignored, Boom simply shrugged and walked on, wondering what just happened and why it went away. He now hungered for it to happen again, but didn't know how to get it.

He went next to Riyakou, and followed from there.

(OOC: Sorry if I sound like I'm complaining, but how do you keep knowing where I am? I've kind of made a point that I'm not with the group, just following from behind and observing, only dropping in when necessary. I try to reinforce this by ending most of my posts with me disappearing somewhere)

Jiro watched quietly as the ward around Boom went out and he started floating while the group continued their trek. When Boom rejoined Riyakou, Jiro dropped down behind Boom.

"How long have you been able to float like that?" Jiro said to Boom. "It would've been useful when I rescued you earlier."

Startled by Jironobou's sudden appearance behind him, Boom jumped a foot into the air.

"AAAAH. WHAT THE HELL. Where do you even come from!?"

Jironobou continues to stare at Boom, waiting for an answer.

"I don't even know how I did it. I just remember a great flash of light, then... I felt everything at once, then I was floating! I didn't try to do it, I just... DID it." he exclaimed. "It's not like I have the ability to float! I'm fat, but not cuz of helium. I'm still trying to figure out what happened to me back there!"

*He can sense your presence Jironobou*, not seeing what happened with Boom, Skarlet & the others continue on, the sense of darkness growing ever stronger.

OOC: His point is that he's supposed to be hidden, not seen, not sensed even. And he wants to be too far away to be 'looked at', meaning you wouldn't be looking in his direction anyways.

*Ok ok nevermind didn't see or sense him*

OOC: Much better! Now back to the RPG.

"There!" A purple-black resonating energy pulses through the center of the forest. "I will be the one to die, this must be a sort of penance for our crimes."

Skarlet stops her from charging the dark energy, as the energy begins to take form into a demon, I am Mavasko, the dark master of this forest & a member of The Dark Covenant, who served the Ruler of Evil. You worthless warriors have found my lair & you have found death waiting for you all hahaha.
