Re: Exploring the Dead

I came out of the ditch and rubbed myself off "Thank you...both of you...I might have to buff these bite marks off...I'm returning to the human world...to get things"

"Are you alright?" I asked looking over him worriedly. "And I wouldn't have been able to do anything except trap them without Vanenkin.... I'm not a fire element." I sighed. "I think I'll head back too. I need to catch some sleep before tomorrow."

by **Sir Militis** Wed Mar 25, 2015 12:58 am

"I'm fine let's get going before more show up....Vanenkin safe travels" I said as I crossed my arms walking towards the light of the human world.

by Ceres rajuras Wed Mar 25, 2015 1:35 am

"Bye Vanenkin, thanks for your help as usual. I promise to bring something better than a rabbit next time. I'll bring something special." I smiled and waved bye before quickly following after Militis. When we crossed to the other side I said, "And thank you again very much for the cloak."

We reached a streak of light and I forcefully opened it by jabbing my hands to the edges and opening it. We stepped in and before we know it we are in my quarters. "Here we are Ceres...back from hell" I laughed as I closed the opening behind her.

"Sooo... what's your opinion on necromancy?" I asked casually keeping my eyes locked ahead. I was thinking of Zerta's class when he said he would teach us how to perform necromancy.

I stopped mid walk and looked at Ceres "well the fact that I'm part...of it...I guess it's alright for students willing to learn.....but can go horribly wrong in the evil hands"

"That can be said about most things. Well I have to get to the forest, left my body there. Bye Professor." I said quickly before scampering off in the direction of the woods. I crawled into the he could say anything else. I scampered off and once I had returned to my body I slowly headed toward my dorm. It was very late, almost 3 in the morning and I was tired.

"I must find Helix...I'm afraid he is the answer to end this.....but where is he?" I said walking towards his dorm

by Ceres rajuras Fri Jun 26, 2015 2:45 am

"Vanenkin, I need your support for this." She begged the fire drake desperately. "I know he's here somewhere I saw it in the book." The old drake swiveled his head around to face Ceres. "It does not do well for the living to obsess with the dead. Your search will not end well child." His voice was grim and his green eyes glowed baleful and cold. "I didn't waste over a month searching in this damn land just to have you tell me to stop." Now that Ceres has rested for a few days she looked mostly back to normal.

After speaking with Helix I felt relieved. Although my flames will dim. I'm actually getting tired. My armor joints start to crank out loud as I move. I walk towards my quarters and I started to walk side to side. I leaned against a tree and a small fog of blue hue came out as I took a breath

by Ceres rajuras Fri Jun 26, 2015 11:18 am

"Who is it that you seek?" He asked her with a reproachful look. "An earth dragon by the name Krow." Vanenkin's eyes darkened but he said nothing. "And why do you wish to find him?" He asked quietly. "I owe him a debt. It was my fault that he ended up dead to begin with... I abandoned him and fled instead of staying by his side to fight. I was a coward." Ceres spat bitterly as ages of self loathing welled up inside her. "I must make it right. I cannot die until I d-" She cut off suddenly at the sound of creaking metal and looked out of the cave. That's when she saw the undead knight leaning against the tree with some weird blue fog coming out of his mouth. "Hail Militis. Are you okay?" She called cautiously as she approached. Vanenkin stayed behind in his den watching.

The armor started to give up on me. Slowly pieces of armor started to come off and burn away. I began to sink to the floor and sit. My jaw locked so I removed the bottom part and placed it back in. "Ah....for being dead comes no pain...but alas doesn't mean you get weary..."

by Ceres rajuras Fri Jun 26, 2015 5:59 pm

"Vanenkin, go get Olga. I don't know what's going on but it doesn't look good." Ceres said to him in distress as she reached Militis. She crouched down next to him and asked, "Militis, what's going on? What happened to you?"

by **Sir Militis** Fri Jun 26, 2015 7:15 pm

Silence took place. Never has the forest been so quiet, the only sound are the trees rustling as if something was hidden to spring into attack. No response I've given. Pure utter silence. The flame dies out but the armor still remain intact.

by Ceres rajuras Fri Jun 26, 2015 7:53 pm

She stared down at the empty armor in silence. Surely he couldn't be gone. He was already dead, so where else could he go? She sat down and picked up a chest plate. Her pale purple eyes stared down at it with utter disbelief. She didn't move from her spot until she heard the feint massive footsteps of Vanenkin. She wondered if he'd brought Olga back. He was one of the few that she'd considered an actual friend and trusted him. Her grip tightened viciously and her claws actually scratched the armor slightly as she turned away. She was trembling as tears welled up in her eyes. What if he actually had gone?

by **Sir Militis** Fri Jun 26, 2015 8:22 pm

The armor began to rust quickly. A little spark flickered and my hand reached for Ceres cheek. A whisper "Ru.......na.....my dear."

by Ceres rajuras Fri Jun 26, 2015 9:05 pm

Cere couldn't help a soft smile as she felt his brief touch. "Militis, I am not your Runa." She said in a quiet voice while grabbing his hand gently. "But I imagine that you'll see her soon.... so you can be happy again."

by **Sir Militis** Fri Jun 26, 2015 10:01 pm

I snapped out of it and flames began to light up. I saw my hand on her cheek and pulled away. "Ceres....I am sorry...I didn't mean....I didn't know what I was doing....." the armor is still rusted. "I probably was sleep walking and saw...things...ah Runa was just there...as if I could touch and see her.." Olga came behind the tree. Sat next to Ceres. "Child don't worry. He's fine." She casually got up and walked away to Vanenkin.

by Ceres rajuras Fri Jun 26, 2015 10:28 pm

"No need to apologize Militis. I know you didn't mean it towards me. You thought I was someone else... and that's okay." She said still smiling a little. "Although I was afraid that you were dying again. And I realized that I wouldn't like that. I do consider you a close friend even if you do not. I know I shouldn't considering that you're my teacher and way older than me but I can't help it." She looked back at Vanenkin and Olga and called out with a large smile, "Thanks old man for getting Olga. And thank you Olga for coming, sorry it wasn't actually an emergency...."

by **Sir Militis** Fri Jun 26, 2015 11:16 pm

"No...I am dying...I have found that I needed ashes from the dead dragons...from the north....a pinch of it can make me live another thousands of years.....a side effect is sleeping....then silence" I dropped my hand to the ground. "I could not imagine....you being here alone...Ceres"

by Ceres rajuras Fri Jun 26, 2015 11:36 pm

Ceres looked at him in alarm and asked, "What do you mean you're dying? All we have to do is go get you more ashes right?" There was a hint of desperation in her voice towards the end and she began to fidget nervously. "You won't be leaving me alone here..."

by **Sir Militis** Fri Jun 26, 2015 11:50 pm

The flame begins to die as I struggle to talk "I'm going to sleep....bring...ashes...before....before...before...be..fore..." the flame dies out and the hand falls to the ground. Silence filled the area again. Just a suit of armor lifeless.

by Ceres rajuras Fri Jun 26, 2015 11:58 pm

"Before what? Militis? Before what?" She demanded worredly as she shook the armor but to no avail. "Olga, by the Fang please tell me you know what he was going to say! Or better yet, tell me as we travel. Time is wasting and we need to find these north dragons. Please go with me!"

by **Sir Militis** Sat Jun 27, 2015 12:03 am

"Oh he fell asleep. Well now Ceres let's be off. Vanenkin you old drake you're coming too! Come on now. *she turns to Ceres* don't worry child he'll be fine" she gave off a smile but lost it as if she was afraid. The suit of armor began to fall apart.
