Elementals II: The Necromancer Part 2
|
Quote:
"I could ask you the same question" said Aurora edging towards Aria.
Meanwhile, Taupe and Tsuna were just waking up.
"What happenned?"
"Dunno"
"What now?"
"Dunno"
"Taupe, you are so unhelpful sometimes"
"Dunno"
"Aaaargh"
You know perfectly well who I am. The witch said.
Zura frowned again. The magic in here was wrong. He closed his eyes.
A thread of power streatched between Aria and the witch. A stronger thread connected the witch to something or someone beyond the rebellion walls, but he saw nothing familiar about that one.
Using his power, he wrenched the thread that bound Aria away from the witch.

"Probably, although I couldn't say the same thing to you" Aurora could see Zura felling around the room, and tried to distract the witch while he worked.
Taupe gagged "Get off me!"
"Fine" Tsuna released her grip and Taupe fell to the ground.
"What was that for?" Taupe asked, shocked.
"Dunno?"
"Haha sis. What time is it?"
"Dunno"
"SHUTUP SHUTUP SHUTUP!!" Taupe stormed out of the infirmary, it was getting light and he headed to the roof. After a while and cautiously Tsunba followed.

(*pauses to count* For the RP, 14, that's the age she was at the start.)
Zura began to untangle the strands of magic. The witch scowled and began working against him.
Zura watched the sun begin to rise in the distance.
He did the only logical thing he could think of and forced the magic apart.
Aria bit back a scream of pain, and the witch cursed and flickered.
Suddenly, she resolidified. You're all too late, though. It is done.
There was a large burst of power outside the Rebellion walls, and the witch vanished.
Aria breathed hard. "I don't...want to go through that...again...it felt like...I was peeling...my skin off..." She swallowed. "What are we getting into?"
She went to look out her window, and screamed at what she saw.

Re: Elementals II: The Necromancer Part 2

Zura came up behind Aria. "Oh no..."
What used to be the graveyard for the Rebellion was completely demolished. It was almost as bad as the last site Aria had seen.
Zura closed his eyes. "Is this what the other places are like?"
Slowly, Aria nodded. She pointed. "There it is. The Necromancer's mark."
The sword thrust down through the sun was clearly visible. The letters on the stone were worn away, and 'Ak' was barely visible.
Aria ran downstairs.
Firestorm had now discovered the mess. "WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!??!" She glared out over the wreckage, and walked among the stones--or what was left. She glared at the only remaining tombstone and the sign it bore.
"Whoever you are, what are you playing at? You definitely don't know what you're getting yourself into."
On the contrary, I know exactly what I'm getting into, Rose. You cannot keep me out of your precious dwelling. A spectral voice issued faintly from the stone.
Firestorm glared at the tombstone. "Stop hiding behind your borrowed power. Stand forth and do battle!" Her hands began flaming.
I like your style, but it is a futile effort on your part. Yield while you still have life, or you'll surely serve me dead! We will meet soon, you and I, and no one else. And I will teach you a lesson. In the mean time, do not interfere with me.
The voice laughed, then faded. Firestorm vaguely realized that she was speaking to a rock and held her head. "Maybe I am nuts..." She paced back to the Rebellion.

Aurora sat down on Aria bed, she was feeling drowsy. But then she had been up almost half the night....
Tsuna screamed. Taupe grabbed her and pulled her downstairs, trying to muffle the sound with his hand.

Zura continued to look out the window. "I've never seen anything this bad since--" He cut himself off. "Whoever's behind this is definitely in league with the witch, but I can't remember anyone that powerful, unless they didn't come around often. Or at all." He turned and stared vacantly at the open door. "Unless we're missing something obvious. What do you think?" He turned to Aurora.

"I really don't know" Aurora mumbled "I'm gonna go get some breakfast if that's okay with you guys" She stumbled out of te room. Peeping back round the door she said "Then maybe get some sleep" before wandering downstairs.

Zura frowned. She seemed unaffected by the fact that an attack was staged so close. He found himself wondering if she was a minion to the forces.
He shook his head. Light can't be dark, what am I thinking? He couldn't stop the following thought.
But dark can be light, what makes you think light can't be dark. You turned to the light, could she turn to the dark?
He tried to clear these thoughts from his head. A saying he had heard often in his youth floated into his head.
We will not fear the light, for the brightest light casts the darkest shadow...
"No, no..." He frowned up at the door. She is the brightest light in the rebellion. What if she is the one? Someone had to disable the shields for the necromancer to get in...
Instinctively, he checked the shields, and gasped.
They were completely gone.
"The rebellion's going to tear itself into pieces..."
Who can we trust?
Aria ran outside to the graveyard, nearly running into Firestorm.
"Firestorm! Do you know anything about this? Who could've--"
"I don't know. I have to look at the records. We keep tabs on everyone who passes through here. You look tired."
"I had a visit from..." She swallowed. "Her. Or her ghost, at least."
Firestorm looked troubled. "This can't wait, then!"
She strode quickly up to the library, people scrambling to get out of the way.

Aria followed Firestorm up to the library. Firestorm was explaining, "We keep good records, names, codename, mage type, appearence, whether they stayed or passed through, relations. This is reminding me so much of someone, and I need to see if they were here."
She walked into the library and flipped on the lights.
Aria swallowed as the scene hit her, so different from last night.
There were signs of a struggle, and books and paper were strewn about. There was a large red stain spread over a large mass of the paper, but no corpse.
Firestorm looked around the wreckage and stepped in. The records were kept in a wooden box in the back. She averted her eyes from the red papers, sad for the poor librarian who tried to protect the books.
Her gaze rested on the area where the records would be.
They were gone.
All that was left was a neatly scribed note.
Nice try.
It had the necromancers sign as a signature.
Firestorm felt sick. Someone had to be betraying the rebellion.
But who?

Aurora headed quickly to bed, but in her dreams she was hunted like a witch and burned at the stake. For someone to think she betrayed the rebellion, it was impossible, was it? She woke up sweating and took a cold shower before heading back to sleep.

(It doesn't really matter, sometimes stuff going on is a good time for a new character.)
Firestorm slowly looked around at the devestation again. "Someone's going to great lengths to keep us from finding them, and yet they are probably one of us." She checked the room for magic, and found only scant traces of dark magic.
Her mind worked quickly; there was only one dark elemental in the rebellion.
But was it possible that he was the traitor?
She considered the behavior of the master of the light element again--she seemed, in Firestorm's view, at least--to be particularly unsurprised. Firestorm shook her head. The last one never seemed surprised either, just always on edge and considering everything a threat.
She sighed. It was best that she got back to current matters: The shield.
She shuddered at the thought. It had taken the strongest mages to raise the shield more than a day, and all were word out after weaving so big a permanent working. One even died. And new mages always helped reinforce it.
Now it was completely destroyed.
Firestorm shook her head. "How will we be able to fix this...?"

Firestorm slowly left the library. Aria took another wide-eyed look around and followed her.
"Who could tear the defenses down like that, Firestorm?" she asked.
"I don't know. They were made to be interlocked, a strong fortress against enemies. Malicious power should just slide off of it. Someone from within had to do it. But not just anyone, someone with power." Firestorm turned to Aria. "There is a traitor in our midst. But who?"
Her thoughts spun as they met Thorn coming up the stairs.
"Anything in the records?"
"The records have been stolen." Firestorm said quietly.
"STOLEN?!?! By who? The librarian--"
"--is dead." Firestorm said. "The library is trashed, not one shelf untouched. I have the feeling that we'll have books missing, too. Ones that may have helped us in the quest."
Aria frowned. "Firestorm, what if the librarian isn't dead? He could tell them a lot, if he had referances to the beginning of the rebellion. I mean, even if they did kill him, it won't be for long."
Thorn shook his head. "A good point, but if they knew enough to target that quickly, then they'd already know anything that he could tell them. I have the feeling that we're moving closer to a dangerous trap." Thorn's voice was steady, but his hands shook. "If they send our own dead at us, we wouldn't be able to kill them again. We'd want to welcome them back, even as they try to kill us. We can't trust anyone."

Thorn muttered and went up to the rooftops. He stood at the edge in the wind.
"How come just as soon as we get this sorted out, something else comes up. Maybe we were better off with the witch."
After day comes night. You must get through the night and reach for the sun when it comes again. A voice told him. The sun feels really good after a long night. The night is there so we love the sun.
"But this night has storms." He muttered back.
The rain makes you stronger. The wind blows smaller troubles away, and you must stand with it.
Thorn nodded, but said nothing.
A human-person is coming fast in your direction. A second voice stated. A bird also fly fast your way.
He glanced up. Circling the rebellion was a bluejay.
The bird spotted him and landed on his shoulder. Thorn glanced at her.
"Let's go see who our visitor is."
He walked back downstairs.

(Midmorning)
Ryan halted as a closet next to him suddenly screamed "YES!" and something about points. He opened the door and saw a scrabble game in progress.
He blinked for a moment.
"Why are you two playing scrabble in a closet?" He asked.
Thorn walked outside toward the direction where the person was apparently coming from. He wondered what brought them in such haste.
The blue jay settled herself more comfortably.
Thorn glanced at the woods as he walked through it. He was glad that the Rebellion was surrounded by forests. It suited him perfectly. With a sigh, he relaxed his power, letting the voices of the trees flood through him, helping to heal where he could.
"How long has it been since I've walked out here like this?" He mused.
"You haven't ventured out since before the witch was in power." The bird answered.

"Yeah, we're just trying to think" Taupe replied casually. Tsuna slapped him round the head "Can;t you see were, no, you're freaking him out?" She turned to Ryan "Sorry, does anyone need any help after the attack?" She dragged Taupe into a standing position "We'd be happy to help" he offered, after a sly kick from his sister.
She could see the place, there was a man standing outside with a bird perched on his shoulder. Should she approach him? Or try to sneak in? This was a bad time for her, with the Witch so recently fallen. She shuffled in the bush she was hiding in to try a more comfortable position.

"The cemetary's been demolished, the shield is destroyed, and, well, my sister's been telling me that she's had a weird visitor." Ryan looked from Taupe to Tsuna and back again.
If you're going to hide in me, quit moving! The bush complained.
Thorn frowned and stopped walking. "Who'se out there?"
The forest was silent. He recieved a wave of discomfort from one of the nearby bushes. Quiela, the blue jay, tightened her grip on his shoulder.

Aria was turning the corner when she saw Tammy. She raced forward.
Ryan opened his mouth to say something, then, surprisingly, shut it again.
Aria blinked at Taupe and Tsuna, then shrugged. "Tammy! You WILL NOT BELIEVE what heppened to me last night." She said. "The wi--her ghost--she erm...visited me. And...and...our graveyard was targeted! I should never have touched that tombstone, I probably led them here..."
She vaguely remembered what Thorn had said a few minutes ago.
...they'd already know anything he could tell them...
Aria frowned. "Also, the librarian is either dead or captured, and the rebellion records have also vanished. Someone inside the walls has to be helping."
Thorn was caught off guard. "Erm...yes, okay." Quiela, go back and tell the rebellion that we have company...and to be on guard. We're already pretty edgy.
Quiela took off and flew for the rebellion.

Warned. Quiela circled overhead and settled in a tree near Thorn. Thorn sighed and started leading Kumori to the rebellion. "So, what's your story, lass?" He asked.
Aria looked frustrated. "We need to find out who in the Rebellion is helping the necromancer." She lowered her voice. "I have my bet on Aurora. She didn't seem too surprised...but then, shouldn't we have expected it, too?" She paused. "Come on, you need to see it!" She grabbed Tammy and began running down the hallway.

"I used to work for the witch, I was released upon her downfall. I got here through the 'portals' in the high mountain caves. This world is so much more dangerous and different. I joined the witch because she helped me, although it was really a trick." Kumori sniffed "I still don't feel safe, being a dark elemental..."

Tammy nodded. "Okay." She said, following Aria. She hurried around worried.
Zephyr lay in the Infirmiry, still quite ill. The frostbite marks had begun to fade, and the healers had managed to determine that he would most likely survive, but he was still weak. He felt worried, not knowing what was going on elsewhere in the rebellion, what with the grave robberies at other sites. He lay worried, wondering when he would be strong enough to leave the infirmiry.

Aria ran out to the graveyard. If anything, this one was worse as it struck so close to home.
She swallowed and walked into it.
At once, she was drawn towards the last remaining stone. She got a better look at the mark in the daylight and shuddered. The name had been completely erased from the tombstone, except for a couple letters, along with all the other writing and design. Aria realized that she was beginning to reach for it and pulled back.

Aurora thrust her palm to her head, an abrupt headache caught on.
Aurora...Aurora.....AURORA....Come, help me! Please!
Glancing around she shook of the feeling in tie to hear Aria's words;
"We need to destroy this..."
"I agree, any ideas how though? I'll try sending a message, it might be dangerous to leave you alone with this, evil. Who should I send for?"

"For a really strong darkness...you need a really strong light...Nadia was in the library last night, I wish I'd asked her to stay..." Aria clenched her teeth and tried to block out the incessant voice.
To her horror, the voice began changing.
Aria! Tammy! Don't leave me back here, don't leave me!!!
Akuri...no...no, you died...not this again...not this again...
No! Don't leave me! I helped you! Help me, Aria, save me from her...don't let her take me...
Aria took a step away from the tombstone.
I don't want another dark master...I want to be free...
The voice trailed off, pleading.
Aria swallowed. "No..."

Aurora had been thinking and jumped slightly at Aria's whisper.
"Hm? Something wrong?"

((R came from Rachel.
Omg. I am on here. I'm so, so, so, so...sorry about not participating. I have been extremely busy and still am, so unfortunately I will not be able to re-join the RP. D: I really hate to pass on this one, this is definately the best RP without question that I have been a part of.))

((OoC: Omg. Hi, Rachel. I wish you didn't have to leave, but... Oh well, I guess there isn't anything I can do.))
Tammy heard the voice in her head, too, and winced. Her eyes widened in horror, and she shuddered involuntarily. "No...How... Please, not again..." She whispered, horrified. It could be a trap... But what if it wasn't?

(Have ye a happy life, Rachel, and visit us when you can.
)Aria shook her head again. She took a step toward the stone, then hesitated and stepped back.
Aria...Tammy...help me... The voice whimpered again.
I can't help you...I can't...
She took another step toward the stone. She had to do something. She reached toward the stone...
"WHAT do you think you are doing???"
The new voice cut through the pleading. A force shoved her back from the stone.
Nadia strode toward the stone, her features a mask of anger. "What happened here?" She looked from Aria and Tammy to the stone.

Tammy froze. "A voice... Magic in the tomb... It's Akuri, I know it." She said quietly, still utterly shocked.

If anything, Aria's explanation made even less sense. "The stone is talking...it's Akuri..." She looked hysterical.
Nadia knelt next to the tomb and studied the sign, her face unreadable. "This is her tomb." She stated. She touched the center of the odd symbol and called up her power, driving it against the darkness.
In a shower of dust and sparks, the tomb exploded.
I'm not finished yet... A dark voice faded into the wind.
Aria stared numbly at where the tomb was. "I hope that's the worse of it."
"No." Nadia said. "This is only the beginning. Call Firestorm, we need to fix the barrier again."

Tammy nodded. "I'll go in and try finding Firestorm." She said, though her voice was hollow with shock at what had just happened. She still ran off nonetheless, frightened, to the main building.

Aria glanced from where the tomb was to Nadia. The light mage looked extremely tired.
"You look like you could use a rest, what have you been doing?"
Nadia brushed some of the dust off the exploded tomb off herself. "Just this, destroying these signs, and then I felt the barrier disintegrate."
"Wait, I thought you withdrew from it."
Nadia shook her head. "Only a little bit, what I wouldn't be able to keep up while I was gone. Other than that, the foundations of the shield were laid by me, Firestorm, and Windmaster. It had to have been the graveyard raider that did it, am I correct."
"I...I think so." Aria nodded.
"Well, what else happened?"
"The library was ransacked again. The librarian may or may not be dead, and the records are gone."
Nadia closed her eyes. "This is bad. Whoever's done this knows the name, power, and mage name of every elemental who's passed through here. And there's been quite a few, since some people," she glared, "are altogether too trusting of newcomers. Anyone can be a spy." Nadia began pacing around the graveyard. "And I won't be able to stay in one place very long, not with all this going on. I'm through with waiting. We waited too long to take out the witch and it cost me more than half of my students. She had her inside informants too, I'm sure."
Firestorn was coming down the staircase when she saw Tammy run in. "Hello, what's the rush?" She asked.

((OoC: The library again? I know it was me the other times, but... Lots of major battles have been there...))
Tammy caught her breath, panting, and spoke. "I went to investigate the graveyard...after the robbery there... One tombstone... It spoke... Akuri..." She commented, seeming half delirious. She then swallowed. "Nadia wants you to help restore the barrier." She commented, finally managing a sane comment.

(It had the records for the Rebellion. I couldn't think of anywhere else to put them. And we only really had three fights there...now we've had a random act of violence!
)Firestorm nodded, then stopped. "Nadia's back?" She walked outside and to the graveyard. "Nadia, where have you been?"
"Taking care of some family business. Firestorm, what happened to the barrier? We made that to stand up to anything." Nadia stopped pacing.
"It just...disintegrated. It was weaker after you left--"
"I didn't take much power from the shield, just a small amount so I wouldn't be overtaxed while I was gone. Whatever came through destroyed the entire foundation of the shield. That, Firestorm, is what's impossible. Even if something could pass the shield, it shouldn't take it completely out." Nadia clenched her teeth. "It was whoever was behind this, wasn't it?" Nadia indicated the graveyard.
Firestorm nodded. "It all happened at the same time. The ransacking of the library, the raiding of the graveyard..."
"Hmm. Interesting. Come on, lets occupy one of the practice rooms." Nadia set off towards the Rebellion, deep in thought and very angry.
Firestorm shook her head and followed.
"I'd hate to get on her bad side right now." Aria said aloud as the two walked away. She took one last look around at the graveyard.
I'll be waiting for you. A dark, familiar voice whispered.
Aria jumped. How could the voice still be talking? Without a second thought, she turned and ran from the derilict graveyard.
Maybe we're losing our minds... She thought.

((Lol, gotta love that library.
-is visiting as asked-
Maybe I'd post a dramatic scene where my characters are written off, but I'd have too much to read to catch up on. =( Plus I don't really feel like it. XD))

Tammy walked along the hallway, a bit behind Aria. She trembled with fear- Her mind was still reluctant to believe what had happened. Akuri... What was going on? She felt so confused, so disoriented. She sped up her pace as Aria seemed to give a startled jump, and ran. "What happened?" She asked, worried, voice still shaking. She was nervous- What had alarmed her friend so much?

Aria spun around. "Did you hear it...back there...the voice is still talking..." She sat down by the door. Too much had happened in one day... "Tammy, we know that whatever power this is, it was strong enough to destroy the shield. Whoever did it might be watching us, but why? We also know the witch has something to do with it, but she's dead."
"Take things one thing at a time, Aria. Tammy, have you seen Windmaster anywhere, Nadia's calling for him to help with the shield." Thorn seemed to appear out of nowhere with someone following him.

Tammy winced, and her eyes widened in shock. "Still talking... Oh wow, it must be powerful..." She gave a terrified shudder, frightened yet more. "And... how could the witch do anything to us beyond the grave? Even the most powerful necromancers can't revive themselves from the grave, obviously." She paused for a moment, and blinked a few times before reacting to the next comment. "I... I don't know where Windmaster is right now, I'll go look for him." She quickly said, before turning and heading down the hall, nervously looking for the fellow Air Elemental.

Aria followed after Tammy. "She probably has help, a friend, a relative, an overly-loyal supporter...someone. I don't think she has many friends, and I don't think she'd get any minions who would turn up to be stronger than her." Aria took a deep breath. "We need to go back to her tower and see if her remains are still there. Only someone highly dedicated would bother to go up there to get her corpse. If they're not...then maybe...someone does have plans to bring her back."
