*Ok guys, time for me to bumb in again and spoil all your fun! ^^. Btw, my writing skills are a bit low atm, because i haven't written in ages, stories that is :d*
Ichirin- As i woke up under the desert sunshine that burned on my face, and even through my blindfold onto my eyes, i remembered a horrible nightmare i was having tonight. Though this nightmare was not fiction, i saw Tatsu sacrificing himself to ressurect me from the dead, i saw my furious rage that i unleashed upon the guards. At this moment, i have no idea what to do next, i should honor Tatsu's body. But for now, i think the desert lands stretching from Dizan river to Shanzûn river will calm my mind, and give me the peace that i desired for so long. Two days later, i had the same nightmare but now i knew what to do, i knew how to honor Tatsu ... how to get rid of these nightmares ... And maybe this was my destiny, maybe it was Tatsu's destiny to sacrifice himself so i could live. "Aaarrrrrrrgggghh!!!" I cried out, for only the desert sand to hear. "This is not me! I don't even believe in destiny!" But still, if i believe in destiny or not, at this point there was only one way to honor Tatsu. And that is by ridding the continent of all dragons, every single one shall die! every dragonwarrior, dragoness... every dragonchild! "All.... Shall.... Perish!" I started drifting off to the dangerous dragon hills in the east, where the dragons live. Though the terrain to get to dragon territory was not as traversable as the terrain to the west, heavy sandstorms roar across the desert plains... dangerous creatures lure beneath the sands. But i knew what i was going for, and i'd let nothing stop me... not a dragon, a creature, sandstorms nor my beloved. I left Myzuri behind to honor Tatsu, but it was the right thing to do, he threated me like his own child. And i felt him as he was my foster-parent, and for him and my parents i had to leave Myzuri. 5 days later: i felt a sandstorm coming up, the first one i've ever felt. At first the sand brushing on my face feels good, but that good soon begins to hurt. And not much later with every step i take my feet needed to carry a whole load of sand that covered it in the seconds i placed my foot there before. I knew that i couldn't go on like this, therefor i decided to rest here, until the storm was over. I ripped of my cloak and binded it around myself as a cocoon and dropped myself into the sand. *hope you liked my first story-post in a long time . btw, for the dragons, i was thinking maybe to get a dragon which is the complete opposite of a character, but only that character can destroy the dragon. (yes, i've been watching avatar lately ) * Starrin' & Teasin' CandyHolic. I like where you sleep, When you sleep, next to me. I like where you sleep... here Our lips, can touch And our cheeks, can brush Our lips can touch here |

Tatsu ~ "Sand City Hidden Within" -
05-19-2008, 04:11 PM
**Excellent Ichi-kun, it's great to have you back!**
TATSU The pale moonlight adorned the majesty of the city hidden within the barrier. Tall buildings towered over others, shadows encroached the land, flashing lights and signs were all about. Though the city was disguised as a barren wasteland, inside it appeared as a desert and forest mixed together, large evergreen trees were growing peacefully in the sand. All the technology of this place looked very advanced. "I can't believe a place like this was hidden here." My surprise spoke for me. "Yes I know, it is something isn't it? If it wasn't for this place, and the kindness of Aisha, I think I wouldn't have survived in this world" I land Gana on the outer edge of town. Climbing off onto flat land was a relief. We had been traveling for so long my body ached. I helped Nozomi get down, she threw herself into my arms. "Well that's one way of getting off." I laughed a bit. Though Nozomi just gave a smile. "So where is this Aisha's house?" I said scratching my chin. "I'm not sure, I don't recognize this area. We might have to look around, it's been awhile for me." We began our walk and headed for the city. With every step my stomach ached with hunger pains. My eyes watered with tiredness, and I felt my energy dwindling. I checked my pouch, we didn't have a single gold piece. We were totally broke. So even if we wanted to we couldn't stop and get something to eat. Being in that prison, the guards made sure to take all our money from us. What a drag. I pulled up my hood from my cloak as we hit the streets. Vendors were on corners selling their product. Kids were running around with toys filled with laughter. This brought a smile to my face. I hadn't seen kids run around so freely in years. Hidden within this dome, these citizens have no fear of the dragons and lived in peace. I couldn't help but feel envious of them, but it was for the best that they stayed here like this, and that I was merely a passerby. I could hear Nozomi start to complain. "Oooh! I'm so hungry!! I want some food!" Hehe it was just like her to complain like this. Suddenly, she ran in front of me to a vendor standing at a corner. "Hey mister! These look so good!" Her mouth was watering as she stared at skewered kebabs. My eyes widened. What the hell is she doing? Running over to some random person like this? We should be keeping quite not drawing attention. I started to slowly walk over to her, and calmly grabbed her forearm. "Nozomi come on, we have no cash." I whispered. "oh! But I want one!" The vendor gave a smile, well little lady, you are in luck, I was just about to close my shop since night has fallen and I want to head home now, here these are extra from the day." The man handed her a plethora of juicy kebabs. "Wow! Really! Thanks so much sir!" She grabbed the meat and skipped into the streets. My stomach growled as I watched her eat all the meats, the oils glistened on her moist lips. She gave me a sideways glance. "I'm so sorry Tatsu, I totally forgot to give you one!" She stuck out her hand in front of face with a succulent piece of meat in her grasp. Leave it to Nozomi to use her charms without even knowing it to swoon over some street vendor. I graciously and happily devoured the meat she had offered me. This satisfied my appetite a bit. "Hey those are really good." We continued to walk around in search of Aisha's house. We saw people from all walks of life doing their daily things and going through their routines. I hadn't seen so many elderly and the young in one place like this before. Usually the young are in the big towns training to be warriors, and the elderly have retreated to a forest home to escape the war and live their last days in peace. This was a pleasant surprise for me. "I think this in it." Nozomi stopped randomly in front of an old house crammed between two fancy looking buildings. "Are you sure ? This place looks like a decorated shack..." We stayed quite for a moment. The roof looked like it was patched together from old shingles. The lighting on the porch was dim, the stairs had holes in them. One window was boarded up and another was cracked. "Yeah! This is totally Aisha's place!" Nozomi ran up the steps and started banging on the door. "Aisha! Heee~y! Aisha! It's me Nozomi! I've come back to visit you!" After a couple of seconds, I could hear a female voice speaking from within and the front door started to slowly creak open. |

Hokay!
Who would like to recreate a similar thread like this, involving a "serious" tale of epic... stuff... ? Cause i believe that this Story is at it's end, resulting from inactivity from it's members playing in the story (including myself, especially myself). For more info about the Story itself and how it came to this, i can referr you to the very first post, where i explained everything. If people would like to recreate such a story, i believe Kanji (haven't heard from him yet) & me would die to organize it. Starrin' & Teasin' CandyHolic.

Hey Ichirin man! Nice to hear from you! I had SO many ideas for Tales of Storys, but I didn't write the next parts of my character, because it would of been sort of senseless if I was the only one writing it. Therefore, I decided not to post anymore.
If you, or anyone else wants to continue Tales, or something else, then I definitely be interested in checking it out. |

hey guys! miss me!!!??!!! I'm back and totally ready to write again. just let me know when you guys are starting again and I'll be ready to go. XD
...-removed-... Guys don't worry I'm here to stay. And I have aa great idea for a story. It's almost like this kinda (cuz after reading this I was totally re-inspired) Kanji, I'll PM you with the details. Maybe we can get JF back to the writing ways of days of old. XD And can someone let Nard know I'm back. lol. Point taken and understood. But SS, it seems a little bit of a pity to give up this masterpiece. What say we incorporate your idea into the story? Or the story into your idea, if you will. Although I'm working on my own novel now, I really, really wanna resume this. Life goes on. But I'm gone. Cause I'll die without you. </3 |

SEASON 2: Swiftant: Prologue -
10-08-2010, 08:22 AM
**Alright people, it's been a long time, but just as all great series do, we had to take a little transition from writing. And for the same reason, we can surely do a season 2.
*goes to re-read posts* I can tell ya, this ain't easy, catching up with the story, and looking up and down for story-posts containing specific information that you have to carefully single out and whatnot. Good luck, guys. XD I have a suggestion, from here on out, we're gonna just write what we wanna write. Plots are on a first come first serve basis. We shouldn't have to do any behind-the-scenes discussion about the story, because that would make it seem rehearsed. Great stories should be unplanned, spontaneous and unpredictable with a twist, as is reality, right? Without further ado, here's to the revival of the greatest rpg story of all time - Tale of Storys. Cheers. ** I spin around in disbelief, for a whole village inherited by people had been literally summoned right under my nose, and I didn't even notice it! No longer do these architectures belong to an archaic period, no longer do what I see lie in ruins. A bustling village crammed with hustling villagers has materialized from out of nowhere! Just then, I feel a nostalgic vibe nearby. "Tatsu..?" "What is it, Swift?" Suzette probes me, noticing my suspended gaze at the air. "It's nothing, how about we take a breather for a change?" I nod toward the festivities to our northeast, down one of the dozen rustic lanes of Shinkirou. Thinking: We're bound to run into the others sooner or later, I just want to see Suzette's smile, for now. The village is actually more of a biological city. On one hand, the greenery reigns proud and untouchable, looking sublime; there are evergreen trees of an exotic diversity I've never before known, sowed in desert sands. On the other, the emphasis on electricity is impeccably conspicuous, spanning from flashing signages to steel-fortified towers, immersed in the glittering grandeur of technology. My eyes are a clear shade of azure. The fesitivities are made up of a great smorgasbord of ordinary minigames, which have been digitally enhanced and augmented. First on our list is whack-a-mole, in which there is a wall with a 10 by 10 set of screens projected on it, fully taking up the wall's capacity. The player has to punch the mole or moles that will appear on any of the screens - according to the game vendor, who is actually sporting a tuxedo. The prize is a pair of limited edition boxing gloves labeled "A pair of gloves best effective against dragon hides!" "Let's go for it," Suzette half-whispers and half-squeaks, unable to suppress her own excitment of reminsicing her childhood days. "Anything you want, Su," I smile and whisper back. Thinking: I've never seen her excited like this, over a game. Is that her true face? One punch, two punch, three, four and five and six at the same time. WHAM! I cock my head up in battle alert mode, my eyes tinting with red - just to see - Suzette with her fist plugged into the now holey wall, her expression of childish frustration. Thinking: I've never seen that before, either. I want to see more. The vendor is practically screaming at her and she winks sheepishly at me. I quickly compose myself and stride toward them. "Is there trouble, Su?" "Su?! You don't mean Suzette of the dragons, do you? Suzette, the blood traitor of her mother and this village," the vendor interrupted. "Shut up," Suzette mutters, impassive. "How dare you return here, I've heard stories about you, terrible stories, you shameless incarnation of betrayal, you-", the vendor abhors angrily, but I cut him off by uncloaking my weapons and exhibiting them to the scene. "Care to repeat yourself?" I say to him through grinded teeth. "Don't, Swift," Suzette croaks out, glaring at me with swimming eyes. Thinking: I want to love her for who she is, but was I prepared for this? Was she? Fuming, I grab her hand and lead her away from the festivities, away from the depraved vendor, away from the curious mob that are now gathering around the commotion, some of whom are exclaiming as angrily as him. At the town central, she struggles free from my grasp. "What, what happened back there, Su?" I cautiously approached the subject of concern. "You heard it yourself. I'm a traitor." "I- I don't under-" "I gave up my soul to the dragons! I gave this village life up! I gave my family up! I wanted to stop the dragons from the inside, but I failed and now after years, I'm still an outcast...", she wails and whimpers softly on the last few words. "Su... I recall the vendor talking about your mother. Is she- is she still here?" "I dunno, I can't even bring myself to face her." I embrace Suzette and squeeze her in my arms, with more love than I can muster up. The sun is dropping in the sky and evening has cast its vermillion glow, pouring its panoramic goldness unto us and drowning the sharp light and contrasting shadows of day, drowning Suzette's cries, drowning my dying insides - dying to abolish her pain. But there are some fights Man cannot win. And this was harder than resisting Shakura's oblivion of terrorism. "I love you, Suzette, you know I'll be with you all the way, I'll be on your side, always, even if the world deems you an outcast," I croon softly into her ears. "I love you, Swiftant... Without you, I'd be a crumpled mess by now... I hate myself so much, can your love compensate for that?" Suzette demands. "It'd be my pleasure to use my life trying." ...... "Aisha," Suzette's voice muffles in my chest. "What?" I ask. "My mother, Aisha." **Tried to make a plot there, people. Reciprocate and give me something interesting. I have to say, besides finding information, it was freaking TOUGH getting started up again. Advice: just start writing, the only way to bypass writer's block is to write through it.** There's no such thing as happy endings, for when you find true love, happiness is everlasting.

Season 2: Tatsu: A Quiet Place -
10-08-2010, 03:01 PM
**Nice one Nard-kun. Your returning post was so elegantly constructed. It is as if you never stopped writing. Good work....
*reads old posts* that was some awesome stuff. I still remember some of my ideas but not too many I'll do my best** Nozomi hurtled herself up the central staircase leading to a small open walkway. She shouted out to her friend who still remained to be seen. On the side of the porch it was collapsed and rotten. A dim light illuminated a small patch of old wood placed adjacent to a thick mahogany door.. In an almost comical way, the door creaked open and slowly, someone from inside peeked out. A brief pause, then the floor was opened all the way revealing a low centered silhouette. From my position I could see into the shack. A flame flickered at the other end of the room, the light behind completely shrouded the figure's face. "Aisha! It's been sooo long!" Nozomi flung her arms into the air and she ran over the molded floor. The figure stepped onto the porch, as she did, the dim light shown her sullen visage. Her gaze drifted from Nozomi and locked on to me. I was still standing on the street, I hadn't approached the stairway yet. The woman's expression changed. "Why Nozomi, it is so wonderful to see you!" Aisha shuffled out and moved over to her. "And you brought a bodyguard. I was hoping you weren't going to get into a lot of trouble out there." She placed her hand on Nozomi's shoulder, then slowly moved down to her arm and grabbed her hand. "I never get any visitors here. What made you come back to Shinkirou- oh excuse me, I am being so horribly rude, you can see I am unaccustomed to visitors I lost all my manners. Do come inside." She motioned with her hand for me to enter the building. Inside the central room was dark and musty. Most of the windows were sealed shut. Little to no light from the outside entered in here. "Come, come, sit, sit." Aisha removed some cloth from two small moth eaten stools. "Here you are, sit please..." Aisha takes the shawl from her shoulder and places it on the chair. "Now what can I get for you two folk? Would like something hot to drink? Oh! I finished a nice thick soup a little while ago, would either one of you fancy a bowl?" "SOUP?! Yaay!" Nozomi grinned big with excitement. "I'd SO love to have some! I am SO hungry!" Aisha laughed. "Of course dear, and what about you? um-." I had been lost in thought for a moment. When I realized I was being address I spoke out "Please forgive me." I stated. "The name's Tatsu." I put out my hand to Aisha. "What a polite young man! You don't see many these days... Okay, it'll be my pleasure two bowls coming up. Nozomi honey, would you please help me by the stove for a moment?" " Of course." Nozomi jumped up and followed the elderly woman into a nearby room. I sat there alone staring at the candle fire dancing calmly on a small table. Handwritten books and scripts were littered about. The walls were stocked full with old texts. Pillows and thick cloths were on the floor and chairs. For a moment I stood up and removed my cloak, placing it down upon my seat. Soon the two of them came back. "Here ya go Tat!" With two hands Nozomi raised a large wooden bowl before me. I glanced into it. Thick chunks of meat and vegetables swam harmoniously with sliced potatoes. "Thank you." I eagerly put out my hands and took the bowl. At that moment it was like gold. Nothing had more value. My stomach had grown empty, and my appetite demanded to be sated. A crooked metal spoon was given to me. Quickly I began to feast. We all sat there around the fire in a circle. "So let me ask again" Aisha began first "What brings you back here Nozomi? I am surprised you were able to get into the city. The army never lets that barrier down for any reason." Nozomi wiped her mouth with her sleeve. "We got into a bit of trouble actually." Nozomi's eyes shifted down. She looked embarrassed. "We didn't know where else to go." She lowered her voice for the next part "The Dragon Army is after us, they tried to kill us, we were in a prison but we got away. We came here because this is the only place in all of Etrirea that the Dragon's can't get to." I put my hand out in front of Nozomi to cut her off. I shook my head. She told Aisha more than I had liked. Aisha looked mortified. "Oh no, you poor things, I can't believe you are being chased by the army! I told you to stay away from the Dragons!" Aisha composed herself. "I am sorry. The two of you must be exhausted from your journey here. Feel free to use my storage room as sleeping quarters for the night." "Thank you." With the bowl dry, and stomach full I stood up and stretched. "I also have a small bathing area, help yourself. There should be some drying cloths by the door." Aisha continued to sip at her broth, as Nozomi poured herself a second helping. I nod a thanks. In the storage room I removed Sora, my tunic, boots and belt and placed them leaning on a box. Stepping down, the cool wood under my feet was pleasing. Around the hallway was the bath. The bath was small. But it would suffice. I stumbled over to a bucket near the fireplace. I got a hot water going and filled the bath up. Slowly I removed articles of clothing and stepped inside. The heat was extremely comforting. I sat down and extended my limbs, lounging. I looked back and forth about the area and took notice to a pile of bathing supplies placed just an arm's length away. I grabbed a small face cloth and scrubbed all the dirt and grime from my cheeks. Out of my peripheral vision I could see movement. I glanced over and saw myself. A mirror had been placed on a chair next to the bath. I looked straight into my own eyes. They were red and swollen. My lips curled downward. My eyes looked devoid of life. I was disgusted with how terrible I looked. I turned my shoulder and faced the other way positioning myself to the wall. I put my head back on the edge of the bath. In no time at all, I had dozed off. |

Suzette's Return! <3 -
10-16-2010, 05:21 PM
**AHH!! It was amazing to re-read everything from the past!! Now time to get this thing up and going again!! <3**
"Aisha,"My voice was muffled in Swift's chest. "What?" Swift ask. "My mother, Aisha." I had not spoken her name in years. It took so much to speak of her now, especially after what had just happened. She would be so ashamed of me now. I can still see her face the day she found out I had become a traitor. She was hurt, crushed, destroyed and disowned me. Everyone who had found what had happened felt that way. I had really thought that after years of being gone people would forget what had happened, but I guess scars like that never heal. I was still crying into Swift's chest when I got the craziest idea. "Swift," I whispered as I lifted my head off his chest and looked into his eyes. "Could we, possibly, just go to where my house used to be, and see if it is still there?" He raised his hands and wiped my tears away and look my face into both his hands. "Of course we can. If that is truly you want. Then we shall go." His voice was sincere. I hugged him and looked at him and kissed him. It did not feel weird to kiss him and hold him close anymore. It felt right. I wonder if he felt the same, especially after what had just happened. I had never told anyone I was a traitor. I started to lead the way in silence to where my house had been. The woods leading to it had gotten much much denser and the roots from the trees were much higher than I remember then from growing up. I tripped over one and Swift caught me. "Thanks. I guess I'm still a childish klutz at times." I tried to laugh but the painful memories from those days were still playing like a movie in my mind ever since the festival. As we approached the house, I was taken back. It looked just the same as it did when I had left. Nothing was out of place. It was like someone froze time the day I left and I was now returning to unfreeze it for good. But I was scared to get any further. I did not know if my mother was home. I did not know if my mother was still living here. I did not know if my mother was still alive even. "Well, this is it. Home sweet home." I grabbed Swift's hand. I was shaking. he pulled me close and wrapped his arms around me. His head rested on my shoulder and I leaned my head against his. This was a moment I did not want to let go of, at all. Life goes on. But I'm gone. Cause I'll die without you. </3 |

New Season 2 character! -
10-22-2010, 11:02 AM
I figured with our power-ups and all, we needed new antagonists. Here's the list Kanji had made before, with a few modifications from 7 onwards:
1. Shakura, The Silver Queen Dragon. 2. Thrandos, Gold Dragon. Highest Military Position. Just below the Queen. 3. Leinurus, Purple Dragon Of Lightning. Third in Command. 4. Dimitria, Brown Dragon of Nature. One of the Dragon Elites. 5. Nuruoki, Blue Dragon of Water. One of the Dragon Elites. 6. Zanden, Red Dragon of Fire. One of the Dragon Elites. 7. Qayroph, Orange Dragon of Seasons. One of the Dragon Nobles. (delirious, carefree, rowdy) 8. Xephrish, White Dragon of Dry Ice. One of the Dragon Nobles. (calm, selective hatred, determined) 9. W.S. Gavrik, A.K.A., World Smasher Gavrick, Gray Dragon of Gravity. One of the Dragon Nobles. (conniving, short-tempered, condescending) Now, guys, the Dragon Nobles are supposedly of the same calibre as Shakura and Akuma. Do not take them lightly. XD And based on that... Name: Xephrish Age: Unknown Height: An ordinary dragon would be about 30 feet, elites/generals estimatedly 50, and dragon-king class approximatedly... 70 feet? Someone correct me if I got it wrong, but I couldn't find any measurements for dragons. So, I'm classifying their size and power under the Dragon kings/queens. Weight: She's pretty dense as she is tall, so use your imaginations. EDIT: Appearance: Pure, shimmering white. Scales whiter than snow, so dazzling they could pierce your eyes, at a mere glance, given there's reflection. Weapon: Elements of Dry Ice and Light. Further Details: Xephrish, White Dragon of Dry Ice. One of the Dragon Nobles. Older sister of the deceased Xephon. Calm, selective hatred, determined, elegant. No human has ever witnessed or dared witness her complete visual hue, for two reasons: fear of being blinded, and the fear of being frozen alive within her element's range. So, other than being colored white, her appearance remains mysteriously anonymous. Willing to team up with anyone, who hasn't a partner or wishes to create a secondary character. If you guys want to edit anything, character or quantity wise, go ahead and tell me. I'll be back soon to input more details and story. There's no such thing as happy endings, for when you find true love, happiness is everlasting.
