Breaking Free

"I see you have stirred a rabble, Cassalandria." The high priestess speaks as she enters the girls dull and lack luster room.
"What are you speaking of, High Priestess?" She looks up from her writing to meet the woman's gaze.
"Already filling in to your role of this world.. But still, you lie and kidnap from the gods!" The woman was angry, stepping forward to slap the girl across the face.
"W-What do you mean?! I haven't left my room since the choosing, Mother!" Cass holds her cheek, eyes wide.
"Do not speak of me as your mother, girl. It is such a dishonor to know you have fallen so far as to steal the magic of the gods and pass them out freely amongst the common students." The high priestess scowls down at her.
"I have done no such thing! I can't even access the god stones now that my being has been corrupted!" Cass stands out of her seat, trying to defend herself.
"You lie more, in this sacred place no less! The gods shall not be desecrated in such a manner, here of all places." She pulls out two metal bands and sears them onto the girl's wrists, causing her to scream out in agony.
She sobs, "I have done nothing wrong!" she grabs herself and falls to her knees.
"Until you tell the whole truth, even the darkest truth in your heart, you will NEVER be able to use your full magic ability." The priestess looks down upon her before turning and walking out of the room.
Kory stands outside the room, "Was that necessary, High Priestess?"
"Yes... Now guard her door and make sure she does not leave that room until I come and get her." The priestess says before heading down the hall, mumbling to herself as she walks.
"Fat chance of that." Kory says once she is gone.
Kory waits until nightfall, then ushers Pascho in.
"What's the plan?" Pascho asks in a hushed tone.
Kory points to the door, "Grab her, go out the window and meet me where we agreed, alright?"
Pascho nods, entering the door and walking into the sleeping Cassie's room.
"Forgive me." Pascho says to no one as he hefts her over his shoulder, using magic to keep her under as he climbs out the window, onto the roof.
He carefully manages to climb down with her and races into the frosty trees. He walks for a few hours before coming upon a clearing with a large bonfire burning in the center, the five 'Champions' sitting in chairs around it while waiting for him.
"I got her." Pascho calls, causing a few of them to stand and look at him.
Alekia walks over, checking the girl over once she is set down on the grass, "Wow.. SHE saved you?? Lucky boy..." 
Pascho sighs, "Wish she didn't."
Moros pats Pascho on the shoulder to comfort his friend.
"We need to get ready to move, no doubt once the Chosen find out they will come hunting for her to return her to her destiny." Mesmerian says, his left hand on the hilt of his sword as he walks over.
The group nod and begin readying themselves, gathering supplies and taking the tents down.
War was about to rage...

Take Overs

Things got worse as the hearts throbbed and ached. The next morning...

"What do you mean a letter?" Moros asks as he dressed for the day, glancing over towards Pascho.
Pascho nods, "Yeah! Apparently the sisters want to talk with everyone who didn't get Chosen."
"That's odd. Never heard of them doing stuff to those who didn't get chosen." Moros bites his lower lip in thought, "Yeah why not. Let's go."
Pascho flashes a grin, "Excellent. Maybe I'll get to see Cassalandria again and thank her for saving me."
Moros snorts, "You got saved by a girl."
Pascho rolls his eyes, wandering out of the dorm room.
The two wander back to the temple hall, standing before them were two of the six sisters.
"Welcome, students! We will be breaking tradition this year! All of you will be receiving gifts of this world! But before you are to receive these destined blessings, Six of you must become evil... The counterparts to the Chosen. The Yin to their Yang. Unlike the Chosen, we will allow Six of you to chose for yourself if you want this destiny!" The older of the two girls shouts.
Pascho's eyes light up in excitement.
"Now most of you must be wondering why it is we are doing this. The answer is simple. Yesterday you bore witness to an act of heroism by one of the sisters to protect your friend and fellow student. So in return, me and sister Jazminya have decided to allow her a fighting chance. We will be taking six of you to become her Chosen six. You will be her defenders even if that means the Chosen will hate you." Korylra shouts to all of the students.
"I volunteer!" Pascho raises his hand, no hesitation.
"Pascho! Are you crazy?" Moros whispers to him, trying to pull his hand down.
"Dude. She got in this mess because of me, least I can do is be one of her defenders." Pascho shoves off of him and walks up.
Kory smiles and hands him a clear crystal, "You will be the defender against Pyrithist, the Machine. You will control the emotions that he cannot feel."
Pascho nods, standing by the sisters side.
Moros sighs, "Guess I'll help too." He wanders up.
"You will be the defender against Phronous, the Mind-Breaker. You will control the soul that she can no longer use." Kory hands him a black stone.
Moros frowns at this, not understanding what they mean against defend against Phronous.
"We'll aid the Outcast!" A boy, Mesmerian, shouts, walking up with another boy by his side.
"You sir will defend against Ervus, The Earth Mover. You will create the illusions that his mind cannot view, the sights it cannot see." She hands a glittering gem to Mesmerian, then turns to the other boy, "And you, Karimor, will defend against Lybria, The Storm-Caller. You will become that which needs no breath, does not feel the water." And with that she hands him a metallic gem.
"I will lend my aid." A girl, Metaeno, steps up.
"You will defend against Pirus, The Flame. You will become that which holds no true form, something that she cannot burn nor freeze." She hands her a pale green gem.
"I will aid them." Stepped forth a girl with red hair.
Blinking, Kory nods, "Alright then, Alekia. You will defend against Zyo.. Your brother. You will be what he cannot see, what he cannot track."
Alekia nods as she takes the gem, "I understand."
"These are our champions!" Kory calls to the rest of the students, "They will path the way for you to write your own fates! Use these well!" 
Jazminya began walking around, passing out stones and telling the holders what they did.
"We will strike down the High Priestess and her Chosen! We will defeat the gods! We will take back our lands and make the world how we wish it!" Kory continues shouting, being met with cheers.
Moros's eyes widen, "Oh no..." 

Blind Faith

Later that evening at the Temple of the Sisterhood...

"What do you mean she became the Outcast?! She didn't do anything wrong!" A girl with flowing black gasps.
"Mother you can't be serious. You have to beg the gods for her foolish mistake to protect the blasphemy of a boy!" Another girl says, her hair a neon green.
"I will not speak with the gods again. She has made her choice, Korylra." The High Priestess sighs, taking a weak breath, "I am retiring to my room now. None of you are to speak to her."
"This is absurd!" Korylra, the green haired, shouts in frustration.
"The Mother has made her choice, Korylra. We must honor it." Another girl says, leaning against a doorway with her arms crossed.
"Kyrla! We can't just stand by when one of our sisters is being punished for a crime she did not commit!" Kory says, turning angrily towards the sister.
"She chose to be punished for the boys crime. She did what we were raised to do." Kyrla looks at her with a pokerface.
"So we're just to accept this?!" Kory grits her teeth.
"It's fine sister.. I am willing to do this.. To waver in my decision would look bad on the sisters." Cassie steps out of her room, wiping away the last of her tears from her red eyes.
"Cass..." Kory frowns.
"I will be fine. Besides, someone was bound to get this destiny. I rather it be me then anyone else. No one should suffer to be alone." Cassandra offers a smile of reassurance.
"Don't do this, big sister..." The girl with black hair whimpers.
"Jazminya.. You're older then me, I don't know why you refer to me as big sister." Cassie moves over to the girl, though 'Jaz' was a good foot shorter; Cassie ruffles Jazminya's hair.
"Cassalandria!" Kyrla's eyes widen.
Cassie frowns, pulling her hand away as it begins turning black, "Right... Outcasts can't touch the Sisters."
"You should just go." An older girl growls, her nose twitching.
"You are right, Sister Velinya... I will leave now." Cass says, returning to inside her room.
"Must you be so cold on her, Velinya!" Korylra lashes out, sending a slash of purple energy towards her, destroying the stone next to Vel.
"We must be cold, you know that. She is to become our greatest enemy. She will end up destroying this world." Velinya says, frowning.

The Chosen

That day came so swiftly. They weren't ready. Why did the priestess and the council decide so soon? Those poor children...

"Come on Moros! We're gonna be late for the ceremony! We're finally going to learn what roles we will play for the world! Isn't it exciting?" Phronous laughs as she drags the boy by his sleeve towards the large polished temple.
"I don't know why you're so excited. We already know you're gonna be one of the heroes of old." Moros sighs as he's towed along.
As the two teens entered the temple, many of their fellow students were there, all crowded together. A woman draped in light and cloth steps forward.
"Welcome, children of our future. Today is a momentous occasion for all of you. Your destinies will now be given to you." The woman offers a smile, "I will call out your name and the destiny that will be bestowed upon you."

Fates were so cruel. Separating the children, specially those that were in love and believed fates will grant them marriage.

"We will begin with those who are destined to unify the kingdoms through their love and kindness. First off.. Pirus!" The woman called out, holding out a red gem that was in the shape of flames, "She will bring love and warmth throughout the kingdoms during their darkest hours."
The small 12 year old walks up, accepting the gem, "I swear to follow the destiny the gods have layed before me." The gem infuses into her shoulder, leaving a flowering tattoo running down her arm and back.
The woman waits for her to walk through a door on the right then continues, "Next is Phronous. The fates have allowed her to control our purity, to be the thoughts and allow us to sustain happiness and hope." She holds up a white gem that was smooth and round.
Phronous squeezes Moros's hand before walking up quickly, taking the gem, "I hereby accept the fate that the gods have given unto me!" She holds it close, the gem resting beneath her right eye as the tattoo spreads in strange patterns over the right side of her face and neck.
Moros smiles as he watches her slip through the door, awaiting to see what he would get so he could go congratulate her.
The woman calls, ".. Ervus has been granted the power to control the worlds movement! To form mountains and provide strength and honor amongst times of war! Be the rock of which others will count upon in times of need!" She holds out a rough black gem to the boy that wanders up.
"I shall accept this challenge! My strength may never falter!" He held the gem up proudly, his veins having black ink run down them, branching off into his tattoo.
The group of teens were getting anxious, only three crystals of light remained.
"Next, Lybria! He has been granted the control over sea and air. To provide us with air to breathe, and ocean of which to bless us with nourishment." The woman holds out a sky blue stone.
The young, sassy boy, wanders up, taking the gem and strikes a pose, "I swear to provide as the gods have commanded to do!" The tattoo swirls around his ankles and legs, the gem embedded on the back of his neck. 
Moros begins growing nervous.
"Pyristhist! You will be allowed to power to control the devices. To determine the outcomes of war! To defend us from any threats and keep us in peaceful bliss!" The woman calls, holding a silver, square gem.
The rather bored looking teenage boy wanders up, he takes the gem from her but says nothing; His clothing hides where the tattoo and gem were.
Pascho and Moros exchange a glance, their hearts sinking. The three musketeers were going to be separated...
"And lastly... The Guardian of life, nature, and rebirth... Zyo!" The woman holds up a green, glowing leaf.
Moros's knees shake before they give out under him. He stares at the ground as tears begin forming.
Escaping from his lips, he whispers, "No..."

That was the day he became shattered, both heart and mind.

As the woman was about to hand the leaf over to the oldest of the students, Pascho runs forward and snatches it.
"HOW DARE YOU!" The woman growls, glaring at the lanky boy.
Moros looks up at this, Pascho stumbling back from the woman's wrath.
The woman's eyes glow white, multiple voices speaking out, "You dare oppose the fates?! For that you will be punished!" 
Coming from a behind a pillar, Cassandra runs out, getting between them.
Cassie shouts, "Mother no! Spare the boy!"
Pascho falls on his ass, staring up in terror as his entire body quivers.
The woman scowls, "Cassalandria. Step aside!"
"I won't! I call to the gods, Punish me in the boys steed!" Cass calls out.
The woman glares, the voice not her own speaks, "Then so be it, child. You will receive his punishment. That punishment is.."
The room became deathly silent.
"You will become the new leader of darkness. The Outcast." The voice said.
Pascho began breaking into tears, Cassie's eyes widening.
Zyo sighs, a frown forming as he walks over to Pasco, taking the gemmed leaf from him before walking off to follow the other five Chosen.
The woman returns to normal, frowning, "The rest of you.. Get out of my sight."
Moros walks over, wiping tears away as he reaches to pick up Pascho. The two boys walking away and following the crowd of students not chosen. As they exit, Pascho glances over his shoulder, towards Cassandra in time to see her fall to her knees and begin crying into her hands.

How a Lady fights.

"Come on, you aren't a fighter." Rima jokes, putting her feet up on the table.
Moria sighs, "I am a lady."
"Exactly. Ladies can't fight with a sword." Rima snickers, but before she can continue, a group of thugs burst into the inn.
"What is the meaning of this?" Moria shouts in anger.
The thugs grab Rima and disarm her, leaving her fighting style useless.
One points a gun at Moria, "Hand over all the gold you have."
"I am a lady and will do no such thing." Moria stands up, picking up her umbrella.
"I said give me all your gold!" The man rests his finger on the trigger.
"Very well, if you request such acts." Moria's eyes get a glint of red.
The men looked curious, Moria grips the umbrella and slaps the gun out of the man's hand before opening the umbrella up to slap him in the face. She proceeds to grip her robe and lift it so she can kick him and send him falling over the bar. She looks over as the other two thugs run off, Rima staring wide eyed and jaw dropped.

The Adventures of Chance and Mindee: Battle Strategy

Twenty years before Cassandra Arakia fell to Azeroth with the six crystals of Durnamis.

Mindee peaked outside from behind the gate. At the arena level, the Gurubashi Arena looked huge. People of all races were sitting on the benches, awaiting the next arena match that was going to happen. Mindee jumped and stretched her arms slightly, she was scheduled to do a double battle with Chance versus an orc and an ogre and she was up next, right after they cleared the dead bodies from the last match. Mindee then glanced at the arena floor, checking out the remains of what was two goblins, bloody and beaten to a pulp. One's arm was even chopped off.

She'd continue to look up at the audience until she got a poke on her back. She turned her head, it was indeed Chance. "Uh.. so Mindee, I think we should think up a strategy for this fight y'know. We don't want to end up like those two. They look like busted up pinatas." Chance laughed, gesturing to the corpses that the workmen picked up.

Mindee shrugged "I figured we'd do the same stuff we usually do. We've been undefeated this entire season, besides even if we do lose, we aren't doing a death match. We'll just get sent to the medical ward." Mindee continues to do her stretching, but turns her body to look at Chance.

"Yeah yeah.. but.. did you see that ogre? He's huge! And his ass smells like our uncle after he's fucked a prostitute! It's disgusting." Chance was waving his arms around dramatically, as if the ogre's smell was that huge of a problem. Mindee thought for a moment.

"Well let's see, the ogre is very large and powerful.. but that only means that he's slow as you when you take a shower and masturbate at the same time." Mindee let's out a laugh as she grips the bars of the gate. Chance would growl.

"Hey! I do not masturbate while I shower." Mindee continues to laugh "Then why do you keep moaning and saying Mangolina Jolie's name over and over again everytime you're in there?" Chance sighs "Shut up Mindee... we need to focus here." Mindee nodded "Right.. focus. So the orc, is just your ordinary orc warrior, just sneak up from behind him and stab him in the back with your daggers. You have slowing poisioning on your daggers right?" Chance would nod "Yep.. always do."

"And don't worry about the giant ogre, I'll be able to take him with my speed." A human would then walk up to them, he was wearing a sleeveless t-shirt and blue pants that looked like a pirate's.

"You got two minutes, get ready." Mindee and Chance would nod at the man before he walked back to his position. Chance would then stealth as he crouched next to Mindee "Remember, use your shield, wield that axe and kick some ass." Mindee smirked "Same goes for you too." and then the announcer started to speak through a booming mic that sounded throughout the whole arena.

"Thank you! Thank you! And welcome to the Gurubashi Arena for our second match of the night! To the left is Gurtuk and Morogg, and to the right is our undefeated sibling duo, Mindee and Chance!" 

The gates then opened, Chance would sigh "God damnit.. it's Chance and Mindee! I'm the older one!"
Mindee would grin as the two entered the arena, prepared to fight.

The Fall of Durnamis

"Master! Look! Durnamis has accepted my gift!" The girl smiles as she held out the glowing crystal of dazzling rainbow colors, always shifting and changing.
"That is well and done.. But you must return to your studies..." An older woman says, her robes of white swaying as she ushers the student into a crystal capsule.
"Yes Master..." The girl frowns as her eyes close and she sleeps within the purple rock.
That was the day the streets ran red. Sirens blared all over the city as the stonework began to crumble and collapse. Citizens screaming and running for their lives, heading towards the base of the temple steps and begging for refuge. They would find no salvation.

September Second, year Thirty,

The days continue, it has been many moons since that fallen day. Still no word from the others who escaped in the pods, though I have found more of the shattered crystals.. Will Durnamis ever be whole again? I doubt highly.. Moros has revealed himself.. Death.. The gift that was given unto Master Stelaria. I feel as though that gift, upon taking her from her life, also stole away what little emotion I could hold. That mocking attitude of his, always muttering about bringing her back. The crystal of life, it will never return, not without lives being lost. Those pawns have defied their leader and are moving on their own marks, trying to check mate an enemy they cannot see from above. Bah! To hell with them! They have made their choice, now I will destroy them like the scourge they are. The planet was torn asunder due to their selfishness, now it is up to me to reform it. I can still hear her voice nagging me, "What of the lives of those here?" To hell with their lives. They have lived eons more then they deserve. They squabble over petty land that should be open to all for everything. Sacrificing a few lives to reform a planet of purity and peace is much more of a deal then to latch myself to these people.
                           ~Former Student, and Leader of Defense
                                               Cassandra Rasputina Arakia.

Heart of Battle (P2): The Fallen Ones

Days had past, and Sheikaris had learned of the dark horrors that had befallen his student.
"She has fallen into darkness again..." Sheikaris said as he paced the living room floor, the fireplace flickering.
"No... She has become captive in a world not her own." Alex says, sipping her tea with a grimace.
Mindee enters the room, "The children are asleep.. We need a battle plan. What was the name of that man that her daughter said?"
"Thantos Poneros." Sheikaris speaks, still pacing the floor.
"Hm.. Strange. In all of her letters she never mentioned a man named Thantos, or that Nazard had passed away. Something is wrong here." Mindee says, crossing her arms and staring at the fire in thought.
"We should just go find 'er." Alex says, setting her cup on the table beside her.
"Too dangerous in your state." Sheik moves to her side, "Someone needs to stay with the children, you are in no state to fight."
"I am no' gonna stay 'ere while Rima needs 'elp." Alex flicks his forehead.
"You saw her during her darkness.. She could kill you." Sheik frowns, rubbing his forehead.
"Alex was the one who snapped her out of the darkness though.. Maybe she should come." Mindee speaks up.
Before Sheikaris could argue, a knock on the door caused the room to grow silent and added tension to the air. Mindee walks over to open the door, only to be sprayed by a strange gas that caused her to hit the ground unconscious.
"Mindee!" Sheikaris reaches for his sword on the rack that had been bolted to the wall.
"We have come for our sister, Kari." A boy's voice said from the doorway, stepping over the gnome woman.
Standing before Sheik and Alex was a San'lyn boy; His skin pale and ashen, his eyes silver like Rima's but his lips were bright red as if fresh with blood. His canines were fangs and his nails were like claws. He wore black leather attire and boots with metal spikes.
"Hand over Kari." The boy said with little emotion as two more brothers stepped inside.
"You are Rima's sons?" Sheik readied his blades.
"I am Niko, the Eldest son of Death and the Holder." The boy says, "Now, where is our sister?"
"Resting. What did you do to Mindee?" Sheikaris's eyes never moved from the boys.
"She is merely sleeping." Niko nodded towards her, "Though I could change that if I desired. Now. Give us Kari!"
"We are not your enemies you know." Sheik growled.
"We are aware, but she was not to wander off." Niko pulls a pistol from its holster on his side and aimed it towards Mindee.
"Enough!" Alex shouted, "Both of you, enough with the pissing contest."
The boys blink, Sheikaris gives Alex a side long glance. Alex stands, careful not to fall over. A voice begins laughing.
"Pregnant again, Alex? Is it another pair of twins? Not running off this time now are ya?" the laughter continued.
"Rima quit toying around." Alex says as she moves to rest a hand over Sheik's.
Rima stepped forward, "Seems my sons really are terrible at this whole negotiation thing.. Definitely need to train them better."
"Mother! You were to wait outside!" Niko frowns.
"Yeah and you weren't supposed to knock Mindee out, but you did that anyways." Rima scolds him before smacking him upside the head.
"Your sons have about as much temper as their uncle." Alex snickers before moving to hug her old friend.
"Yeah.. No idea where they got that from." Rima laughs, the boys putting their weapons away with a pout.
"So dramatic, wonder where they got that bit from? You were more of the blunt then dramatic." Alex taunts before returning to her seat on the couch.
"Shut the door would you, Connor? And Junior! Pick your aunt off the floor, that was rude of you to test your invention on her." Rima walks over and sits on the arm of the couch.
The boys scramble to do as told.
"So... How are you two?" Rima smirks towards Sheik.

Songs about Characters - Round Four: Celthin

In the dark of the night
I was tossing and turning
And the nightmare I had was as bad as can be
It scared me out of my wits
A corpse rising by fists
Then I opened my eyes
And the nightmare was seen!
I was once the most trivial man in all Stormwind
When the keepers betrayed me, They made a mistake!
My spell made each of them pay!
But one woman got in the way!
Little Nao beware!
Celthin's aware!
In the dark of the night
Evil will stop her!
In the dark of the night
Just with the Dawn!
Revenge will be sweet!
When the runes are complete!
In the Dark of the night
They'll be GONE!
I could feel that my powers are slowly expanding
Tie my sash and a dash of Wolfbane for that smell
As the pieces fall into place
I'll see them crawl into graves!
Troslvynai, Naomis
Fairwell!
In the dark of the night
Terror will strike him (Terror's the least I could do!)
In the dark of the night
Evil is true
Soon he will feel
That his nightmares are real!
In the dark of the night
They'll be through!
In the dark of the night
Evil will find her! (Find her!)
In the dark of the night
Terror comes to~~~ (Doom her!)
My sir, Here's a sign
It's the end of the line
In the Dark of the night
In the Dark of the night
Come my servants
Defend your master
Let your evil shine (In the dark of the night, in the dark of the night!)
Guard her now,
Yes, fly ever faster!
In the dark of the night
In the dark of the night

She'll be mine!

Songs about Characters - Round Three: Elsa

Elsa?
Do you want to go run Sunwell?
Come on, Let's go and kill.
I never raid anymore,
and there's a port,
It's like you'd wanna play
We used to be best raiders,
But now we're not.
I wish you would tell me why!
Do you want to go to Sunwell?
It doesn't have to be Sunwell. (Do Not Disturb)
Okay Bye...

Do you want to go run Sunwell?
Or Ride our hog around Stormwind?
I think some Roleplay is overdue,
I've started talking to,
The Newbies of the Pub! (Hang on Rosa)
It gets a little boring,
All these sucky groups
Just wiping at all the mobs! (Swish stab, swish stab, swish stab.)

<Enters Vent> Elsa?
Please... I know you're in here.
People are asking where you've been.
They say "Just boot her."
But I'm lying too,
I'm right on here for you
Just tell me when?
We always knew each other
It's just 2v2
What are you gonna do?
Do you want to go run Sunwell? <Log off sound>

Songs about Characters - Round Two: Sheik and Rima!

For the first time in forever (reprise)- Sheik or Rima

(Sheik)
Please don't shut me out again
Please don't throw the sword
You don't have to keep your secrets anymore
'Cause for the last time in forever,
I've finally understood
For the last time in forever,
We can save this bleeding land
We can head down this pathway together,
You don't have to work in fear
Cause for the first time in forever,
I will be right here.

(Rima)
Sheik, just go back home,
Your life awaits,
Go enjoy your son,
and show up late.

(Sheik)
Yeah but...

(Rima)
I know you mean well,
But leave me be,
No, I'm at home
I'm alone and free
Just stay away
And you'll be saved from me.

(Sheik)
Actually we're not.

(Rima)
What do you mean we're not?

(Sheik)
I get the feeling you don't know

(Rima)

Avalon is in deep, deep, deep..
Snow..

I know you can,                                           I can't be free!

You don't have to be the same,                    No escape from the death
                                                                   Around me

We can face this fight together                       I can't control Moros!
We'll reverse the death you've made              (oooh) Sheik I'm afraid you'll only make it worse!
Don't panic                                                    They're so unclear!
We'll make your life alright                              You're not right here!
We can face this thing together,                       Oooohh...
We can change the fates forever,                    Aahh...
We can take this dragon cellar                        Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh
And everything will be alright                           IIIII CAN'T!!!!

Songs about Characters - Round One : Alex!

Let it go Parody - Alex style

The Moon glows white on the Mountain tonight
Not a cultist to be seen
A city of isolation, and it looks right
On the seen
The wind is howling
Like this swirling storm inside
Couldn't keep her in,
Goldrin knows I've tried
Don't let them live,
Don't let them scream,
Be the good wolf you always have to be
Reveal, don't seal.
Don't let them show
Well now they know
Let 'em go
Let 'em go
Can't force us back anymore
Let 'em go
Let 'em go
Turn away and face the floor
I don't care
What they're going to say
Let the gore rage on
The blood never bothered me anyway
It's funny how some killing
Makes everything feel right
And the fear that once controlled me
Can't get to me at all
It's time to see what they can do,
To test the limits and break through
No Right, No Wrong, No rules for me
I'm free
Let 'em go
Let 'em go
I am one with the wolf inside
Let 'em go
Let 'em go
You'll never see me cry
Here I stand,
And here I'll stay
Let the gore rage on!
The wind is howling in through the air and in the ground
My soul is spiraling in wave-like fractals all around
My one thought crystalizes like I'm flying fast
I'm never going back
The Past is in the Past
Let 'em go
Let 'em go
When I rise like the eye of storms
Let 'em go
Let 'em go
That simple girl is gone
Here I stand, In the light of time
Let the gore rage on!
The blood never bothered me anyway

Let It Go

The air was cold like the freshly fallen snow. The wars had been taxing both mentally and physically. Sheikaris and Alex lead the groups to meet the enemies daily, but one day Rima vanished. Even with the power of the crystals combined, they could not find her, or rather, she did not want to be found.

Breathing raggedly as she scaled the snowy slopes of Storm Peaks, Rima's fingers were turning dark blue from the bruising and frostbite. Barely finding a perch to pull herself up onto, dropped her bag of supplies on the cliff face, shivering against the howling wind.
Moros came to her, speaking quietly, "You can't keep this up, you'll freeze! Then what use will you be to me?"
"Can it." She makes a small fire, huddling for the time being.
"This is ridiculous, Rima." Moros scolds.
She moves to check her water canister, hearing the icy sloshing of half frozen liquid, she takes the cap off to take a swig before putting it away. As she holds a hand up over her eyes, she peers at the horizon, frowning when she saw the dragon-flyers coming in on her position.
"Shit we gotta move." Rima grabs her things, stamping out the fire hurriedly.
She gasps as one of them throws their blade, getting a clean cut on her leg and causing her to fall. Carefully hovering around the cliff, the flyers roar.
"You know what to do." Moros says as the wound heals on its own and Rima stands.
She grips her blades, only to be stopped by one of the dragons clawing the cliff, causing it to begin cracking and crumbling.
"Oh you son of a-" She feels the rocks slip from out from under her and cause her to go sailing through the air.
As she tries to maneuver herself through the air, she barely dodges the blades being thrown past her and the flames of the damned dragons.
Hearing Moros in her head, "Let me take control. Let the crystal course through you. Let it go."
Rima closes her eyes tightly, feeling the sparking in her blood that caused her so much pain previously. Her eyes snap open, bright red, as the frozen ocean and the sharp rocks comes into sight, cracking with sick sounds of breaking bones and appearing in a splatter of blood were wings of bone and muscle sinew. Spreading them quickly as her elbows pop and blades from bones appear on her upper arms, tearing through the fabric of her suit, she manages to yank herself upwards into the air. She meets the elevation that the dragon-riders were hovering at, she latches onto one of the dragons as her hands glow black, causing the dragon's life to perish and send it plummeting before hopping to the next. Rinse and Repeat.
She allows Moros to take control as she remains in the air. Moros moves her to just outside Bouldercrag's Refuge. She lands in the powdery snow as her body begins returning her skeletal structure and muscles back into place, sealing the wounds but leaving the scars and tears in her clothes. She feels her vision blur as she saw a familiar metal figure running towards her.
"Rima!"

The Squichi Files: How New Avalon's Forge Was (Really) Decimated

Squichi Mechablade cleared her throat and stood, shuffling to the front of the circle as it became her turn to share a story with the group, consisting of Lucinda, Alexxia, Sheikaris, Vera, Wispers, and a few others. The Gargantuan Incendiary Retribution bot, GIR, clanked along behind her, his torso rotating suddenly to light up the bushes behind them at a menacing sound that could only be a ninja assassin threatening the life of his programmed object of defense, his massive machine-gun arms firing round after round at the ferocious fiend! ...A squirrel squeaked its last breath, keeling over onto the grass. GIR turned back around, satisfied that the threat was gone as his barrels smoked with pride. His job... never done.

Squichi barely seemed to notice the horrified stares of the rest of the people, or the gunfire... it was almost like it happened too regularly to pay attention to anymore. She brushed herself up, readying her tale.

"Well! my story begins with a gnome in a workshop. Please keep in mind that this character is NOT to be confused with yours truly, the one and only, majorly mighty, ginormously genius Squichi Mechablade!"

"She shared this shop with her counterpart and fellow master of engineering, though this one, a draenei, specialized in gnomish engineering, while the gnome specialized in goblin engineering! ...Go figure."

"...Again, the draenei is NOT to be confused with the ever-wonderful... if a bit addled... Miss Jadearra of Echoes of Virtue!"

Already, she saw a few looks turn from pleasantly confused to suspicious. She continued on, regardless:

"Anyway, one day, the gnome and her trusty battle-bot came across a washed-up lump of metal in the sand of the beach off of New Avalon while working tirelessly on the gyrocopter waiters that were once requested of her!"

"The battle-bot went on the alert, though the gnome - ever curious and explorative! - went to have a closer look. Digging the large thing out of the ground, she found it to be an unused seaforium bomb! She looked it over, fascinated as to how the thing had survived the ocean and corrosion."

"She strapped it to her ever-bumbling-but-faithful mechawyvern, who flew it - with great strain to his poor engines! - back to the workshop. The gnome set the bomb in the forge building, away from the tent where her mechs and gyros were, like a smart gnome, to prepare to disarm and cut the thing open, and she headed back to said tent to retrieve her tools!"

"While she was gone, apparently her counterpart walked in, a couple of missiles she'd pilfered from a nearby Horde armory under her arms. She set them down on a conveniently-located, if round and cylindrical, table right next to the forge!"

"As the gnome stepped back into the forge after retrieving her tools, there stood her friend, hammering away with great... vigor... on the missiles she'd procured. 'They're disarmed!' the draenei chirped to the gnome, but it was not the small missiles that brought concern..."

"A rather large, heavy, and draenei-death-knight-muscle-powered swing missed the missiles... and hit the surface of the bomb. The gnome's hopes for the thing to be inactive or a dud were... false, to say the least."

"Both gnome and draenei went flying, and were both lucky to have been wearing plate mail! ...The draenei was also lucky to have already been dead, for the blast sent her right into the water, where she promptly sank, and had to trudge out of the water along the bottom of the sea."

"The gnome managed to barely miss the gigantic lumber mill sawblade, but made a nice crater in the floor behind it."

"...And that's how the New Avalon forge got destroyed and the lumber mill floor was damaged!"

The tiny gnome faltered a bit as the druid, Lucinda, was fixating an eye on her accusingly. She continued, the confidence drained significantly from her voice:

"...And I might wish to remind you that neither character is in any way to be confused with myself or Jade! ...In fact, we were both busy that day! ...Golfing, as it were! Yes! Now... ah... I will... be seated now... I know nothing more than that... not their names... or their company... or their appearances... or their current locations..."

Squichi scurried back to her seat rather quickly, twiddling her thumbs amidst the glares of the crowd. The only one laughing appeared to be Wispers as GIR let Hell loose upon another poor critter in the distant trees, forcing it to feel his fearsome fury with fiery destruction.

Heart of the Battle

It had been years since the final battle, the one everyone had dreaded, but only few were lost. Something worse had been stirring in the last several years, a new threat. They called themselves the darkness. Now a new fate would come, to those caught in between. In the last several years Alex and Sheik had been married and had a strong son and a beautiful daughter. Along side them and their united guilds were Company of Blades, now led by Jabbles daughter who was best friends with the twins Klarese had; Along with Mindee and Panelle's daughter, Aurora, the new children began training and it was found that they had developed similar powers to their parents. And what of Rima and Nazard? They had disappeared during the final battle with Rima heavily wounded. Gidrian had fallen to allow their escape. A hundred years after the final war...

"Again." Sheikaris shouts to his children as they were going through their daily training routine.
"A hundred strikes?" His son, Liam, asked with sweat beading on his brow.
"Three hundred." Sheik says as he hands Alex her tea.
"Three hundred?!" Their daughter, Emma, asks in exasperation, breathing harshly.
"How do ye expect to get bettah if you don't practice, dear?" Alex laughs quietly, sipping her tea with her pinkie up.
"But moooom." The teenager girl whines loudly, causing her brother to laugh.
"Don't 'but mom' me, Emmarathine." Alex says in that motherly tone that all mothers gain.
"Ugh!" Emma stomps her foot on the ground as she strikes at the training dummy, causing it to explode into splinters.
"Excessive." The older brother says, lifting his plate mask up once the wood had stopped falling from the sky.
"Emma! Liam!" A voice calls from the past the apple orchard.
"They're back here, Aurora!" Sheik calls before turning to his children, beaming with pride, "Alright alright, I suppose we can let you two off the hook for now."
Wandering in through the gate was a small gnome girl, the area around her was both cold and hot. The two half elf siblings run over to meet with their friend but pause when they see a small elf with her.
Carefully standing up, Alex rested a hand over her pregnant belly, absentmindedly rubbing it as she goes to look at the new comers.
"So who's your friend, dear?" Alex asks with a curious brow, Sheik staying by her side.
"She won't tell me your name, just said that her mother spoke of you guys and my moms." Aurora says calmly.
"Well who was her mother?" Sheik seemed curious, ignoring the bad feeling he felt in his gut.
The elf girl's voice was soft and coarse, "Rima Darkmane."
Sheik and Alex look at each other, alarm rising before Sheik steps forward, "You're Rima's daughter? Where is she? How is she?"
"Fine.. I thought I would find her friends since she was missing everyone... My brothers and sister would've come but they were busy with training under the order.." The elf says weakly.
Sheik walked forward, "Where is she?"
"She is hidden in the mountains... Near Avalon and Seradane... I wouldn't go there yet... Her soul is lost." The elf girl says quietly.
"Wot of her mate, Nazard?" Alex asks quietly, lightly rubbing her belly.
"Gone... Long gone... Some strange man is making her lost... Nazard told me so..." The girl's eyes seemed void of sleep and emotions.
"If Nazard is gone... Then how has he..." Liam trails off.
The girl covers her ears as tears begin to form, "They keep talking, the shadows, they never stop talking."
Sheikaris's eyes grow wide, "You inherited Rima's crystal..."
Emma and Liam quickly step back, Aurora moves away. They had been told the stories. They knew about the crystal wars and all the souls lost to Rima's crystal when she turned dark.
Alex quickly speaks up, "You have to remember, dear, that a child can only inherit ONE trait. She obviously had the Whispering Death."
The group relaxes, all except Sheik.
He quickly whispers to Alex, "The girl said she had siblings... High chance one of them has -that- trait."
Alex elbows him in the side quickly. Sheik makes a face, ignoring the urge to growl.
"Well, come inside dear." Alex waves the girl towards the house.
They wander into the two story farm house. Sheikaris carefully helps Alex sit on the couch before going to make more tea.
The elf tilts her head, "This place... So big."

Seeing Stars

Silver eyes held swirls of gold and red. Blue hair was a mess. Face was expressionless. Basically, this elf looked a hot mess minus the hot. In his arms slept an equally distraught moon kin hatchling. The two rocked back and forth. He heard someone step on board.

Rima, in a dress all pretty and un-Rima like, gently made her way on deck. "Alex? Hey, can we talk?" She called out to the back of the ship. Hearing no response she made her way through the ship. She walked into the captain's quarters and stopped. "Oh god I'm not looking!" She saw Sheik on the bed and just naturally assumed…He shrugged and made a rather nonchalant noise like whatever. "Um…? that sounds disappointing." She peeked and saw Sheik alone.

Sheikaris was staring at a wall. His eyes shifted sideways to Look at his student. One of the shrinking number of people he actually had left. He set Luna in her crib. He motioned for Rima to go into the cabin or outside. As soon as she got there she crossed her arms and stared. Sheikaris's face was unmoving.

"You look like shit." Rima, right to the point.

Sheikaris grumbled at her. He was not in the mood. He stood against a wall, leaned his head back, closed his eyes and took a deep breath. It was unsteady. He sighed. was that a tear? Rima's joking attitude changed to concerns. Her face softened and she held a hand out to Sheik in comfort.

"Hey…is everything cool? Where's Alex?"

Sheik snapped. He grabbed her arm, spun it around her head and held Rima to him with her back against him and her arm choking herself. She struggled for a moment and lifted her leg behind her to kick him in the jewels, because he wasn't wearing armor. He let go of her in a cringe of pain as he saw stars. She decked him in the jaw. He grabbed her jaw and spun her around him. She landed on her back with a thud atop one of the tables in the cabin.

"Hey big brother…calm the fuck down!" She snapped at him, her eyes growing dark. This wasn't a training thing.

"She's gone. someone stole her from me. I will have vengeance." He roared to her.

"I think you just need to get laid again, Sheik. Yeesh." She grinned jokingly.

He pulled Rima to him, Held her down with one hand on her stomach the other gently grabbing her throat. He walked between her legs and put his hips against the table. His eyes were Gold and Red. His wolf spirit awake and his host sleep deprived and all tears possible had been shed from his eyes.

Rima wrapped her legs around him and twisted him around enough to wiggle him off awkwardly. He backed up enough that she could kick him. She brought both of her feet to her knees and slammed them into his chest. She stumbled backwards but his eyes flashed in retaliation.

"Woah! Hey! Sheik! Man! I didn't take her! Don't take this shit out on me! AAH"

Sheik pummeled her to the ground. A chair in the way shattered under their combined weight. His hip rested precariously between her legs and just below her hips. She tried to wiggle out of her uncomfortable position. He held her down now. His hip pinning her, his legs straddled her and kept them together, one hand held her shoulder down and the other, again, was on her throat. He was inches from her face. Breathing into her. His eyes gazed downward, She was in a robe. he had just now noticed, always the slow one with those things.

"Get up! What the fuck, Sheik!" She tried to push him off. He wiggled his hip into her and lay more of his weight onto of her to keep her down. She blinked and felt a little blood and heat rushing to places it shouldn't. Not with Sheik. She was confused. Sheikaris leaned closer into her with a low primal growl.

Then, from the cabin's door way a ball of feathers came running. "Mama! Mama! Ma…" Luna was expecting her mother. The sexual primal tension and noise for some reason reminded her of Alex and Sheik. She did not find Alex instead she found Rima. She found Rima in a very interesting position.

Sheik blinked and shook his head. His heat had risen too and he stood embarrassed. "Luna!" He ran to pick up the now confused and upset bird. He grabbed her but she threw rather cranky handful of stars at Rima and Sheik. Rima pawed at her face.

"Ugh! Damn bird!" she growled.

Sheikaris turned back in a snap. "Shut it, Rima!" His eyes were cranky again.

"Ugh, old cranky fart!" She left and stuck her tongue out at him.

Sheikaris returned to his chair as he had before she showed up. Gold eyes with red while he rocked the moonkin.

The Lightning Flash



There was a crisp cold in the air. The sun was setting, and the newly grown leaves of the spring trees rustled from the oncoming storms blow. Soon, it was to rain upon the Eastern Kingdoms, one of the first full storms of the new spring.

Jabbles found himself caught in the storm, making his way to the Blue Recluse. Water dripped off his armor as he walked in. The smell of food and drinks brought a warmth to him, warding off the chill of the storms now blowing through the city. Wiping water off his forehead, he walked to the bar, giving a wave to the barkeep who returned a friendly smile. Jabbles was no stranger to this tavern, as the barkeep was already pouring the usual, a mug of bourbon. Jabbles raised his mug to the barkeep, and took a sip, turning around to lean on the bar. There, he saw, one of the most stunning Elves.
There she was, leaning against the wall. A bluish coloured hair verging on green, like that of the ocean itself. Eyes of blue, like the bright sky of a summer day. He was drawn to her. He liked Elves before, but this, was something else.

Jabbles put his coin on the bar and walked over to the girl.

“’Ello” he says, raising his mug to her.

“Hello” stated Cyn in a cold monotone voice.

“What brings you ‘round these parts?” Asked Jabbles, before taking a sip from his mug, a smile on his face.

“It’s raining outside.. Why else would I be inside?”  Cyn stated quickly, with a scoff.

“Just trying to make some friendly small talk” He says, keeping a smile. “If it wasn’t raining, then, what would you be doing?”

“Fighting” Cyn stated after a moment’s pause.

“Fighting? A girl like you?” Jabbles asked with a curiosity.

“Of course!” stated Cyn with a cold growl “I’m certain I could mop you across the floor!”

Jabbles chuckled at the notion. He took a sip of his bourbon, then shook his head.

“Oh!? You don’t think I could take you on, ‘Old man’?” Cyn growled to Jabbles.

Jabbles slowly put his mug on the table next to them, looking her in the eyes “Oh, is that so?”

“Indeed it is” Cyn stated in an angry tone.

“Fine..” Jabbles said with a sigh. He turned around and motioned to Cyn to follow “We’ll head to the Cellar.”

Cyn blinked, not expecting Jabbles to actually accept her offer to fight. A devilish smirk came across her face. Oh how easy this would be!

As they reached the cellar, the two unarmed themselves and stood across from one another. Cyn ran towards Jabbles, in hopes to tackle him. Jabbles, however, wasn’t the most orthodox of fighters. He pulled off his glove and threw it into Cyns face, stumbling her in the process. Jabbles chuckling as she fell.

“Expect the unexpected!” taunted Jabbles as he walked over to her, leaning down to see if she was alright.

‘Expect the unexpected indeed..’ thought Cyn, anger filling her face.

Cyn stood up and grabbed Jabbles by the chest piece throwing him to the floor and straddling him. She stared in his eyes for a moment before, suddenly, kissing him.

Jabbles eyes widened in confusion. ‘This is the best fight I’ve ever had!’ he thought to himself. Jabbles was not a man to deny a woman, giving in to Cyns “anger”.

Cyn kissed down Jabbles neck, tauntingly rubbing herself on top of him. No man had actually taken her up on such a fight before. They always assume that “fighting” meant battle, not one of the more physical interactions. Cyn draws her hand across his cheek as she moved down Jabbles body, tugging gently at his pants.

“Let’s see what blade you really wield” stated Cyn with a smirk.

Cyn woke up, the sound of thunders roar raging across the sky. Her window had flown open from the storm. Upon turning around from closing it, lightning flashed across the sky. In her bed, she could see a sleeping Jabbles. A smile.. across his face.
