The Dragon Chronicles, Some guys didn't follow the rules... Options

[Rast]

Same rules as any RP. Heres the story:

Long ago, in the vast kingdom of Vaarn, there existed a mystical amulet, know as The Sankara Amulet. It supposedly gave it's owners the power of these mythical creatures. Wars raged over it, yet in the end, theamulet vanished. Hundreds of years later in a small village on the Arken Islands, a swordsman came across it by chance.

Rast walked through the Jorgan Mountains. As he walked along the path, an objected glinted from a pile of dirt. He hastily ran to it, and clawed at the dirt untill he found it. It was an amulet. He examined it closely, and stowed it in his pack.

Walking against the path, a young girl stopped and noticed Rast. Her name was Nime.

Nime: Excuse me, can you help me? My name is Nime... I seemed to have lost my map... I need to get to the magical Xiv tower on Arken Island... however I have no idea where it is...

*Meanwhile, a dark shadow crept behind Nime...*

[Deathwing Phoeni...]

Before Rast could answer Jens question. a loud scream could be heard in the distance, and it sounded as it was getting closer, quickly.

As the scream neared, it sounded as if there were some words in it.

The group, Rast, Nime and Jens, looked around to see where this sound was coming from.
Then as it got closer word could be heard:

"WATCH OUT BELOW!!"

The group jumped out of the way, before a person, in what looked like heavy steel plate armour, met the ground face first. The man seemed to have no injuries; there was no blood splatered around.

Nime: "Are you ok?"

The man, still face first, replied: "Stupid bird.... "

The man then got his face out of the dirt and stood up.

???: "Hello. Is anyone hurt?"

Jens: "Who are you? and how did you survive that fall?"

Legion: "My true name is not even known to me. You may however call me Legion, Phoenix Rider. Surviving that fall is my secret. Now where is that blasted bird?"

[Rast]

Rast:"Uhh..Yeah. Perfectly fine. I don't know about no bird, though..."

*turns to Nime*

Rast:"Now, about the magical Xiv tower, It lies far ahead. I don't know why anyone would want to go there, though. Full of monsters."

[igo231]

Igo is stalking them in the background, disguised as a mailbox. Everyone thinks he is where the mountain gets mail.

Igo: (thoughts) Gotta get better stealth techniques.....

[Kamihoko]

Nime: Well... I'm studying the mountains, there has been a huge shortage of mineral from the mines... Xiv Tower is right above some of the biggest veins of minerals in these mountains... There must be something wrong there. *Notices the "mailbox" and reaches into her sack... she pulls out a yellow letter and drops it into the slot.* Anyways, will you help me...? I can reward you. *Reaches into her sack and shows the trio a small pile of gold coins.*

[Deathwing Phoeni...]

Legion: "I saw a tower about a couple of clicks west of here. Maybe that is the tower you are looking for."

[Rast]

Rast looks questioningly at Nime.

Rast:"Well, I don't want to disapoint you, but I have no need for gold. If you really want, I can escort you at least to the village of Karth, my village. From there, however ,your on you own. Unless you care to wait for me to finish up some buissness."

[Deathwing Phoeni...]

Before Nime could reply, a high pitch shriek could be heard.

Legion: "Oh! There that bloody bird."

Out of the sky swooped a large black and purple bird. When it neared the group noticed that the bird was not stopping.

Legion: "Deathwing, Stop! Damn you Deathw...."

The bird, Deathwing, crashed into Legion, sending him on a short lived flight where me met the group once more.

[Rast]

Rast:"That bird has some serious problems. . ."

[Kamihoko]

Nime: *Stares at Legion* Uhh... are you okay?
Legion: W- *Interrupted by Nime*
Nime: *Turns to Rast* ... Karth village you say? I was just there and... you... shouldn't... go... back... *Nime reaches in her sack for a tissue to wipe her slow tears...*

[Rast]

Rast:"what do you mean. . .?"

*turns towards Karth Village and sees a steady pillar of smoke rising*

Rast:"What? No. . .NO!"

*Draws his sword and takes of running towards the village*

[Kamihoko]

Nime: *Looks at Rast running as he kicks up dust...* There is no point... *Runs after Rast* Wait! *She looks back at Jens, Legion, and "Mailbox"...* Run! The people who destroyed Karth village are in the mountains! It isn't safe!

[igo231]

They ran toward the village, leaving igo the mailbox.

Igo picked up the letter, and read it.

[Kamihoko]

(I'm going to have to play the part of the letter)

Dear Father...

The ravenous Yupins have attacked the Karth village... the guards you sent to guard me had died... and with it... I lost the map. I'm sorry, Papa. I won't be able to reach the Xiv Tower... away from the war at Vaarn... I hope you can end this war... it has already spread to the Jorgan mountains... Don't worry, I will be fine... I won't forget my magic training back at the palace... Best of luck...

-Princess Nime

[Rast]

Rast was on his knees in the center of the village. He was torn between anger and pain. His sword was drawn, and hanging limp at his side. Suddenly, a large warrior approached him.

???:"What have we here? A survivor? Heh. This will be fun!"

Rast glared up at him. The amulet in his bag began to glow. Suddenly, an odd aurora surrounded Rast. Nime, Legion, and Jens arrived at this moment.

A look of horror spread across the warriors face. Armor seemed to grow right out of him, and he soon looked half human, half dragon. His sword sword seemed to grow sharper, and take on a reddish hue. He swung it with incredible force, and clove the warrior in two. Suddenly, the armor-like skin faded as though it hadn't even been there, and Rast fell unconciouss.

[igo231]

Igo: A princess?! Oh, no, she needs a protector! I will do it!

Little did Igo know, Mine was capable of protecting herself.

[Kamihoko]

Meanwhile...
Nime: *Looks at the unconsious man on the floor of the newly ruined village...* What just happened here? *The light of the amulet glowed violently as Nime tries to help Rast up. Unable to even touch Rast without the blinding light of the amulet... she turned to Jens and Legion* Did... did you see what happened?

*As the group stood amazed and confused at what happened... the "mailbox" arrived...*

The amulet's glow softened as Rast stirred. He had no Idea what had happened. The group looked on In amazement.
