The Fantasy RPG

Orion didn't say anything, but listened to what Inferno had said about what happened. He was angry that the unicorns numbers were lower, but thankful that the dragons are doing something about it. He thought about what he went through the past hundred years, and realized that he did miss quite a lot. It's their fault, he thought and turned his head over to look at the saddle that still lay on his back and felt the bit still in his mouth. Was there any way to get these cursed contraptions off of him?

[Doc 42]

With a roar, Stimeak leapt into the sky taking flight. He soared into the clouds, lightning strikeing around him, the clouds darkening. He searched the forests below with his keen eyes, patroling. He swooped lower untill he was close enought to be able to see anyone in the forest clearly. He was searching for demons. He patroled this area regulary. It was his duty to make sure non passed through without being spotted. He roared again, the noise echoing across the sky. Useing his life magic to search for life signs below him...

[The Kingpin]

Inferno began beating his wings forward, slowing his speed to a hover as he reached the cave. he landed on his hind legs with a loud boom, and put down the Unicorn, and then got onto all fours, the more comfortable stance for him, and walked into the caverns. "Come with me" he growled as he entered the massive caverns, Furionus flying off and the Imperial Guards splitting up to continue their patrols, with two of them guarding the entrance, 4 circling overhead and another four moving on land...

[HorseGal]

Orion followed the great red dragon, wondering what he wanted. He snorted as the stirrups that were dangling from the saddle gently tapped his sides. "Thank you Inferno," he nickered quietly as he looked around the place.

[The Kingpin]

Inferno watched as Orion walked by into the cavern, and noticed something was wrong. "Oh...of course" he growled as he walked up to Orion and growled "Forgot to get rid of that mess of ropes on you". with that, he gently slipped a claw under one of the main straps holding the saddle in place, and with a flick of his claw, snapped the strap. his eyes glowed orange as the rest of the straps began to stretch and snap, the insides having been boosted in tempreture to about 10 times the tempreture of the area around it, while the outer layer of the straps were reduced in tempreture to near freezing. it would be a bit chilling on the Unicorn's skin for a few seconds, but, as the snaps ended, Inferno raised a clawed hand to the saddle on Orion's back, and picked it up, crushing it in hand and dropping it absent-mindedly. everything else just fell off. "You can spit the bit out now. nothing's holding it in place" growled the Emperor with a grin as he made a low growl...

[HorseGal]

Orion was a little surprised by what Inferno did. He shivered as the tempreture dropped down and snorted in satisfaction when the straps were coming off. When Inferno said that he was allowed to spit out the bit, he gladly did so, then stretched his mouth and tossed his head after everything was off. He was finally free from those bonds holding him. He could now go off and...wait, could he go off and be a regular unicorn? Orion thought about the years of breaking in he went through. Could he simply forget about it and live a normal life of a wild unicorn? He remembered all the training he went through to become a steed for that cruel master. No, it would be impossible, he thought miserably and sighed, lowering his head. "Inferno how could I forget it?"

[The Kingpin]

Inferno looked at the Unicorn questioningly and growled "Forget what, Orion?". around him, the gems on the cave walls burst to life in reaction to his appearance, glowing with magical energy, each gem giving off a bright but gentle glow of it's own colour...

[HorseGal]

"How can I forget what has been done to me?" The unicorn looked at Inferno with cold, dark red eyes for a minute before sighing and lowering his head again. "It's impossible, and I hate it," he said with disgust in his voice. "I wish to forget it, but I can't. Could it be the abuse?" His eyes turned cold as he stared at the ground.

[The Kingpin]

Inferno sighed. "Life has many twists and turns, some good, some bad. One can only try his best to adapt to what he comes across. in this case, I have but one thing to help you with, but it is far from sufficient. but i will tell you this: to forget how you are now, you must remember how you were. you CAN forget what they have done to you. it won't be easy to forget it, but it is possible. to push it into the back of your mind. to act how YOU want, instead of how some pathetic Industrialist Baron wants you to act. to remember your life before this atrocious event. that's what you must do to forget what's happened" growled the Emperor as a small ball of blue energy swirled in one of his clawed hands. "Compare yourself to a simple example: a plant. when forced into a shape, it will resist, and then take the shape it's forced into. once you remove the pressure, slowly, it will regain it's former shape, and return to how it naturally should be". he closed his hand, the energy ball disappearing as he returned it to the ground. he continued to walk into the caverns, leading Orion onwards...

[HorseGal]

Orion shook his head and followed Inferno. "How can you be so sure," he inquired with a sigh. "Were you ever held captive? Do you know what goes on there?" He snorted and stomped his hoof.

[The Kingpin]

Inferno snarled "Once...only once....when i was very young...one of the Industrialists got the idea of using a Dragon as a battlesteed, and, seeing as i was an Imperial, and adventurous, and known for doing small raids, i was immediately their target. i was trapped in a large dark chamber in one of the Industrialist dungeons...then my father freed me. during my time there, i had been used as a tool to kill prisoners, and they attempted to break me in, using massive torture devices that were apparently made for things such as trolls, as tools to make me perform tasks...were it not for my father tearing into the city with 3 other Imperials, i don't think i would be where i am today". the memory was like poison to him. how he loathed that event. what was worst was the man who commanded them to take him prisoner was now the heir apparent to the Industrialists, and leader of it's most powerful armies...

[Doc 42]

Stimeak was glideing up the mountain, occasionally beating his powerful wings. It had been an un-eventful patrol. As he the grass and rocks turned to snow and ice, he started to fly lower. He sped along and then he suddenly noticed a figure trudgeing along, clad in a green cloak. Assumeing it was Raven, Stimeak swooped around, scrutinseing the man below He let louse a booming roar and the man turned and started running down the mountain. if it as Raven, he would have probably just shouted at him comicly. Stimeak smirked and dived down, coming up behind the ranger and snatching him up with his claws, catching him around the waist. The man screamed in terror as the Silver/White Dragon flew up to the summit. Stimek landed onto his back legs, neck and tail arched for balance. He droped the man into the snow and fell down to all fours. The man scrambled back, terrifyed but was stoped as a clawed hand tripped him and dragged him back. He flipped the human up, baring his fangs in a grin. He growled in a deep sinister voice "Now what is a human like yourself doing wandering the Frozen spire, eh?" The human tried to scramble away but suddenly his arms and legs went numb and icee formed around them, freezing him in place. He screamed loudly, trying to escape being eaten in vain. Stimeak pulled his head back and tilted it to the side. He hissed in a less threatening voicce "I asked you a question, not only do you tresspass but you remain silent?" Seeing a chance for survival, the man stuttered "I I I uhh ahh e Me and my I mean I alone... I was hunting... deer... track it up mountain" Stimeak silenced him with a sinsiter "Shut up" The man replied "C C Certainly, oh great dragon"
Stimeak rolled his eyes and leaned closer again, hissing "Rule 1: I say shut up, you dont speak, at all." The ranger nodded furiously, just incase the shut up command still applied. Stimeak leaned back, satisfye He growled "Good, now this is whats going to happen. You are either going to give me your valueables, and in return I will take you home safely, Or.... You stay up here and freeze to death." The man squirmed and stammered "Errr, I dont have any with me, they are all safe at home! Please just let me go!" Stimeak rolled his eyes again and growled "If I let you go, then you would probably be eaten by a frost wolf and in that case, I would much rather to just eat you myself..... OK, new plan. You have a son?" He nodded. Stimeak continued "Good, You write a note to your son, explaining the situation and of course asking for what I want" The ice melted away from the mans arms and without speaking, he took out some partchment and a quill, quickly jotting down a message. After awhile he exclaimed "Done But then he paused. He added "Errr, my son isn't actually home... he was hunting with me, we got seperated... my daughter is home though" Stimeak frowned and growled "No matter, I will make sure both your son and your note reach her, if he is still alive that is" Without waiting for a response, he trotted out of the cave and leapt up onto a ledge. He raised his palm, shooting sparks of lightning into the sky. A few seconds latter sparks shot up in the distance, followed by a multicoloured blob flying up from the pine trees and coming towards him. Soon, the blob came into focus as the harpy, Rainbow feather. As leader of her new clan things had been going quite well. Her long pink her was adorned with various gems and her hands displayed several rings. She nodded at him and hissed "You called?" Stimeak nodded and growled "There is a human on the west side of the mountain, the tracks should be clear so it shouldnt be hard to find him. I want you to bring him up here, forcefully if necessary" She grinned, understanding what he ment. She said calmly "Right away..." And drew one javlin from a lethar pouch slung over her shoulder. She leapt off the ledge, flying away down towards where Stimeak had gestured. Harpys weren't able to use Bows due to their wings so the human would have a range advantage, but chances were she would be able to get into javlin range, that is, if she even needed her weaponary....

[HorseGal]

Orion said nothing more and continued to follow Inferno deep in thought. He was wondering how he was going to go back to the other unicorns now. What would he say to them and would they accept him? He looked up at Inferno again, but still said nothing. Should I go back, he thought.

[The Kingpin]

The massive Dragon led the Unicorn into the main chamber, the familiar 7 glowing gems surrounding him as he entered the massive chamber. with a low growl, the gems lit up brightly and the enchanted phoenix pillars sprung to life, beautiful fiery birds erupting from the top of them. "Welcome to my Home, Orion" growled the Emperor as he walked forward, towards the resting chamber, where Fieras lay, practicing her fire magic on minor things, fine tuning her skills at using fire magic to improve her control over small quantities and areas. right now, she was busy forming a very small, man sized sculpture of a Red Dragon, locked in mortal combat with an 8 horned Demon. it represented the never ending battle between the Dragons and Beliar's forces. the Empress looked up at her mate and growled "I assume your little hunt went well?". she grinned when she picked up the smell of ash. Demon Ash, to be exact. apparently he had taken care of the intruders. the poor beasts mustn't have known what hit them. a little band of Demons on hit and run missions, taken by surprise and completely annihilated by the Red Emperor in person. "I see we have a visitor. Welcome, Unicorn. might i assume you're the Unicorn that goes by the name of Orion?". Fieras knew who he was the moment she saw him. she had been informed by Slytherius that Inferno's old friend Orion had just been rescued...

[HorseGal]

As Orion was walking along with Inferno, he was admiring all that was around them. He looked at the phoenixs with awe before continuing on with the great beast. "It's a beautiful place you have, Inferno," he nickered quietly. Suddenly, his eyes turned toward another dragon, who was busy sculpting something using fire. He admired her work and bowed when she addressed him. "Yes I am," he said respectfully. "Who are you, if you don't mind me asking?"

[The Kingpin]

The large red Dragon grinned, returning a bow as she growled "I am Fieras. Inferno's mate and Empress of the Red Dragonflight. it's been a long time since i've spoken to a Unicorn. it is nice to be able to speak to one of you're kind again". she stopped working on a small Dragon Sculpture and turned her full attention to the Unicorn, now concentrating on him completely...

[Doc 42]

Two Blue dragons made their way up the mountain that was the Red Emperors home. They glanced at eachother and then at the guards in the sky. The larger of the two regulars roared loudly and they continued towards the cave entrance. They needed to speak with the red emperor, but with all these guards they might be killed before getting a chance to even state the purpose of their visit

[The Kingpin]

"Dragons...blue ones...down there" growled one of the Imperial Guardians to his flight mate. the two enormous Red Dragons dove down and roared before landing in front of the two Dragons, each of them dwarving the smaller blue Dragons. "What is your purpose here, Dragons?"...

Inferno looked towards the stairway up to the entrance, hearing a roar. "Visitors...." he growled thoughtfully, before walking up towards the entrance, walking out onto the slanted ledge, walking to the tip of it, and looking down, slightly to his left, down at the 2 blue Dragons and the massive Red Imperial Guards questioning them. without a word, he commanded Slytherius to go forth and listen in. the Fiery Serpent having the ability of keeping his presence unknown to all but those he wished to know, he was th perfect spy. without a word, the Serpentine dove towards the event, invisible to all but Inferno...

[HorseGal]

Orion kept his attention on the dragon empress. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Fieras." He smiled polietly at Fieras. He watched as Inferno walked away and wondered where he was going off to. After Inferno left, he turned his attention back to Fieras. "When was the last time you spoke to my kind?"

[Doc 42]

The two blue dragons bowed low and the larger one growled worriedly "We must speak with the emperor! We carry an urgent message for him alone. To make matters worse, we are being tailed by a small unit of demons! If it had taken any longer to reach you we would have been cought." The other blue dragon glanced behind himself nerveously and then laid his head back down on the rock, returning to his bowing stance.
