Land of Dragons
I'm bringing back the Land of Dragons! We've got the people, now we need the RP, so here it is!
Land of Dragons Sign-up and Discussion Thread
http://www.finalfantasyforums.net/co...read-9154.html
This is for our sign-ups and discussion. NO OOC (Out-Of Character) posts allowed in the RP! All OOC posts and speeches should be placed in the Discussion and Sign-Up thread.
YOU MUST MAKE/RE-DIRECT AN RP TO THE SIGN-UP THREAD AND HAVE IT APPROVED BEFORE YOU ARE ABLE TO RP IN THIS RPG.
Role-Playing Game Information
RP Master
Hera Ledro - I give the orders around here lol. This RP is run by myself, and I will be checking in on individual characters from time to time, and will be an avid and active RPer.
Location
Anywhere in the universe. The RP starts off on Earth (though people do not need to start their section of the RP off on Earth), where the main storyline will be. However, this is a diverse RP so, if you so choose, your characters do not have to follow the storyline straight away, though they do have to tie into it eventually. I will be checking in on this and will PM you (or, if it's short enough, use an OOC comment) if I feel you are not going to tie into the storyline. If it gets too extreme, I will be forced to boot (no pressure though )
Storyline
This RP is set in a multitude of dimensions (based on the RPers' origins), though the main storyline will be on Earth, year 2007 by national records.
Over time, George W. Bush has gained notoriety, infamy, and power through political means. Now, he has assumed absolute control of America, and is in league with several people (human or not...) to control the Dragons, his main allies being Sukani Ledro and the Dark Dragon, Boromyo King. Now, a band of heros must unite to stop him. Will Bush reign supreme with his allies and control the entire Dragonic population? Or will the heros come to stop him? You choose in The Land of Dragons!
Basically, you are allowed to choose between Bush, the heroes, or the bystanders. However, you must eventually tie into the main storyline in some way.
Timeline
2007- (to be determined)
Chain of Command in the Land of Dragons
This is the chain of command. If I am away, it will be the duty of those who are underneath me (not an offensive phrase) in the chain to re-enforce the rules.
Hera Ledro - RP Master
Drachnon - Second in Command
FireFrenzy - Third in Command
Julius Argexis - First Lieutenant
These are the people in charge around here. While we are not mods, we do have certain priveleges.
The RP Master has total control (woot! LMAO) after the mods, g-mods, s-mods, and admins. The RP Master has the ability to verbally warn you and, if the need arises, boot you from the RP. This is an unfortunate circumstance, and I'd rather not have to do that.
In the event that the RP Master is absent for an extended period of time, the Second in Command will assume the RP Master's responsibilities. In the event that both the RPM and the SiC are absent, the Third in Command will assume said responsibilities. In the event that the RPM, SiC, and TiC are absent, the First Lieutenant will assume said responsibilities.
RP Guidelines
1. No God-Modding! We are a little more lenient here because of the circumstances you will be under when RPing, but if you take it too far, you will be warned. If it continues, you will be booted.
2. No Power-Modding! Same penalty as God-Modding, only this is when you control another character that one of the members is in charge of, usually concerning their characters, unless it is a unique NPC that they made, in which you must ask permission to control the NPC.
3. Keep it Mature. I'll allow some swearing and post-mature content, but try to keep it to a minimum. That being said, cultural, ethnical, and otyherwise discriminatory shots will not be tolerated, period. Unless it is absolutely necessary for your character to be that way, it will not be tolerated.
4. No Spamming! This is a huge rule. No post can be less than 2 non-quote paragraphs. That is to say, your posts must have at least 2 paragraphs excluding speech between characters, unless that speech is excessive enough. A paragraph here is at least 3 sentences.
5. Keep Good Grammar! I'm not as picky with this rule, but your posts have to have relatively good grammar and spelling, so that they are legible.
6.Unoriginal Concepts! I will allow the use of unoriginal weapons, and the mention of unoriginal characters. However, these characters cannot be NPCs in the story, nor can anybody in the RP be an unoriginal character. Weapons are allowed, as many weapons in other games are based on weapons of myth. This is no different (i.e. the Ragnarok from the FF games is a play on Ragnarok from Viking mythology, referring to the end of the world). The same is true for armor. However, these weapons and armor are still subject to the rules concerning God-Modding.
7. Mental Connections! In the Land of Dragons, for playability purposes, you can have mental connections with your allies, but nobody else. These mental connections have rules, namely that they cannot tell you what they are inherently thinking unless they direct their thought at you, or to a congregation including you. Also, these connections cannot give you control over your ally, as this would count as god-modding. Mental connections can only be done if you have formed an alliance with that person, and this must be a permanent alliance, not a shaky one or a truce, a permanent alliance (this does not mean friendship).
8. Player Evolution! In the Land of Dragons, since this is an RP that may likely take place over a long time, characters will be allowed to 'evolve.' These evolutions have rules: For starters, you CAN change the appearance and attribute of your character, however, these changes cannot be outside the rules of God-modding or Power-modding on FFF. Secondly, you can only go through a few changes at a time; they can be drastic, but the changes cannot be extremely numerous, no more than 6 at a time, and they have to have SEVERAL POSTS between each evolution, no less than 10 of YOUR posts.
RULES ARE SUBJECT TO UPDATES.
Ashyard
This is where all banned players will have their names posted, so that people know who is not allowed to post here. If a name from this list is seen on a post, PM myself or a Moderator/Admin. We will take care of it.
Other
Alright guys. This post is subject to updates based on player behaviour and other things.
Good luck RPing! Have fun above all else.
Sincerely,
Hera Ledro: The Eternal Dragonic Allsie
MY FIRST POST
A silver and red blade flashed through the air as a blue-furred creature leapt across the roof of the White House, deflecting several bullets.
Out of nowhere, a blue-furred tail with a scythe-shaped blade cracked a Secret Service member across the head, knocking him unconscious instantly. As the owner of the tail leapt off the roof, its brown Dragon-like wings curled around the body. Astonishingly, this creature could fly without the wings, and sped through the air northbound, the sword in its hand flashing into its brown sheath.
Several bullets sped past the retreating beast, flying at high speeds towards the centre of the city. It moved so fast that it was impossible to see as it sped above the streets of Washington D.C.
The creature landed on the roof of a sky scraper, kneeling behind a rooftop door, keeping himself hidden in the shadows of the night, wings folded around his body. He used the moisture in the air to cool the air around him, making him undetectable to infrared sensors.
Almost on cue, a Sea King helicopter sped above, snipers aiming out the hatches. The helicopter circled around the building for a few moments, and then sped off in search of the hiding creature.
When the helicopter was several miles away, the strange creature unfurled its wings and returned the air to normal.
It stood up, reaching little more than six-and-a-half feet in height, its tall black, spiky hair swirling in the midnight wind. The creature's lean, but very toned, muscles were covered in blue fur, and his tail reached around his body, the blade hanging casually in the air beside his head.
He clenched his claw-like nailed fingers, spitting on the ground in frustration.
His smooth voice flowed through the air, though with an unmistakeable tone of anger, whispering, "Dammit. Still, I can't get anywhere near him. They're getting tighter. I'd blast the whole damn place, but it would just take out innocent people."
"I'm Hera Ledro, saviour of thousands of civilisations, the one who has held Sukani at bay for numerous millennia, and I can't even assassinate the President of the United States, for fear of harming innocents. I'm too pure for my own good..." Frowning thoughtfully, he said, "Maybe I shouldn't focus on the centre this time. Maybe I should whittle down their forces, take out their military first, make sure that they can't invade anybody. What do you think Jake?" The creature turned to his left as he stopped talking, looking directly at the red and black dragon that landed on his hind feet.
In a burst of Chi, the dragon changed form, becoming a small, but very tone and muscular, Caucasian teenage boy.
"That's exactly what I'm worried about," the boy said, folding his arms. "If they come up to Canada, they're screwed. We don't have much of a military there."
Hera Ledro nodded. "Yes, Canada will surely fall."
Jake snorted. "We should just take out the whole White House."
Hera Ledro frowned. "No. That is out of the question. Most of the people there don't have any clue that their President is consorting with an alien warlord, much less that he's planning to take over the whole planet."
Jake snorted derisively, grunting, "As if. Most of the people, other than the janitors, are right in gahoots with the prez. What about the Pentagon? If anything will stop them, its destroying the Pentagon."
Hera Ledro nodded. "Yes, but I don't want to cripple their economy. However, I suppose that it's inevitable, but I'm going to procrastinate that little bit. As long as America stays intact, so does the rest of the world. How'd things go in the U.K.?"
Jake shook his head. "Not good. I wasn't even able to talk to the P.M., let alone convince him to help us against the States. Remember, I'm only 14. They wouldn't take me seriously, and I can't go Dragon in front of them until I'm by the P.M., or they'll try to kill me like they've been doing to you for the last while."
Hera Ledro nodded, looking into the sky. What is this world coming to...why did Sukani have to come here of all places...

OOC: it's only 1,75 pages:S i must be out of shape!!!
Nova had been on this earth for a while now, ever since she had met Ku here a few months ago. She had taken a teachers gig at “<st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Chiba</st1:City></st1:place>'s School for Gifted Youngsters” where she had said she’d keep an eye on Shizuka until she left again. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Walking around campus with a group of guys in tow had been funny at first but after she had gotten tired of the distraction she had quite clearly told them she would no longer tolerate the drooling over her. She had been surprised how well they had taken it, there hadn’t been any need to do any more then tell them once and even with the occasional love letter or the chocolates she had gotten for “white day” she had been busy, it turned out she had quite a knack for teaching and she actually enjoyed it. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
She would need to think of a further something to keep her students on there toes for too day, she hadn’t punked them in so long, and there were a few people in class who had the annoying habit of making out in the back of class… Nova practically giggled at the prospect of her class’ opening for today. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Nova arrived fifteen minutes early in her classroom as she always did, her years of sniping had given her a great deal of patience and this wasn’t as bad as it had once been. She pushed a few buttons on one of her many gadgets and spent some time fine tuning the hologram of that guy and a holographic student she had enrolled into the class to keep the students on their toes. Hey in a class called “Magical Items and You 545” she figured she was entitled to have some fun with them, these were all last year students anyways so they should be able to notice a hologram when they saw them. Luckily the guy of the pair had the habit of being amongst the last to show up for class. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
So when the class came in she saw her boyfriend snogging her “pet project” she completely freaked out until she noticed that up front in class “someone” was practically falling off her chair laughing. The rest of class, being the properly raised Japanese kids they were, quickly took there seats after the excitement died down. And when the guy himself came in he had been warned by one of his buddies as he sat down quite a ways from his “woman scorned” because while it wasn’t a big secret that Nova had the coolest toys on campus in her last lesson they had been dealing with the use of information to deal with threats where the use of other methods might attract undo attention. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
*Now that everyone is here and mister Noguchi has felt it proper to grace us with his presence we can continue where we left off last week*, said Nova before flipping off the hologram and thanking her assistant. *As I’m sure you all remember from our time when we were dealing with magical encryption today is a quiz. And I’m sure those who actually bothered to decrypt that last cipher I gave you will all do admirably so Bags away one pen will be quite sufficient.* Before Nova started handing out the tests and answering paper there were a few people who seemed to have completely forgot it was today but she figured the test was fair. It was a relatively simple cipher which was easy enough to solve if you had actually been doing your homework rather then copying it from someone else. *Well if you need me I’ll be grading papers up front, and like always don’t even THINK about cheating, you cant beat me. That includes you mister Hakate, remember what happened last time you tried?* <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
So while the rest of the class was busy cracking her cipher Nova said up front in class where she made a few notes for her next class and stripped her Mjollnir pistol into non moving parts before cleaning them and reassembling them. After the bell rang she collected the papers and wished everyone a good day and since it was the last class of her week she decided it was about time to hit <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Tokyo</st1:place></st1:City>, see what was up. Hopping into her Viper she decided to take a small detour, Friday night a few “touge” almost on the route to “<st1:place w:st="on">Soho</st1:place>’s Omotesando” where she was almost a regular by now. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
The passes were empty at least from people worth racing but she did smoke someone on the express way, her 10.5 liter v8 roaring like a mad god before ruining a new pair of Toyo’s, and while she wasn’t paying for them, them burning out every time she hit the throttle a bit to hard was annoying. But hey the dude had been asking for it, fucking skyline’s thinking a measly v6 could ever beat a v8. As one of her exes had always said “there’s just no replacement for displacement”. Walking up she was greeted by the doorman and was ushered straight through by the doorman. She walked in and noted that even though the bar had been redone (me doing my research it would appear this bar is STILL the “numbero uno” spot in Tokyo I should have dropped by while I was in Japan *sad me*) the DJ was still playing premixed CDs but at least the CDs had been updated and he now had some newer tracks on the repertoire. The white Russians were still top notch though, although after one she switched to “pina colada’s” and mourned once more the demise of “Spinnakers” back home (my favorite bar in the whole world and the only one I know who went bankrupt from its own happy hour  ), before she realized that here it might actually exist. She’d need to check it out. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Well after a few drinks she felt that she’d be very happy tomorrow that she had had those nanites implanted because while she could still get wasted if she wanted to she never had any hang over problems anymore. A lot superior to the kind that made sure you couldn’t be poisoned anymore… a whee bit more unpredictable sure but worth it on nights like these. <o:p></o:p>

Julius A. Silverwing, a man whose life revolved around the military, did not expect how much his life would change after arriving to Europe, in search of a holy relic presumed to be lost hundreds, perhaps thousands of years. Many archeologists have reach a similar conclussion about the origins of this ancient artifact, that the relic was much like a weapon, that it could be wielded by a single person and that it required a terrible price for the use of its power.
Julius never cared for the consecuences of making such reckless actions after some time when he abandoned his country. He worked for what he needed, only carrying with him his trusty sword. Julius knew that his investigation would require someone that could invest a significant amount
of money in his project. He set his mind and turned his sight to the continent of America, more specifically, in the mighty military collosus the United States of America.
"It will take some time for the flight to New York to arrive. In the meantime I might as well check these ancient texts and prepare my report."

Daros opened his eyes after a long night, felt tired still and fell asleep again, when he re-awoke he heard a knock on the door. Wondering who it was Daros gathered some clothing and got dressed, he answered the door to a man who sounded very authoritive when he announced that Daros had a message from a 'private source' he gave Daros the message and walked back to his transport and drove away. "What is this?" Daros wondered, he quickly opened the letter and could only read two words of the strange coded message, 'United States'.
Daros planned to go to the United States, he gathered his old armour and some provisions such as food, water and some old books, a few weeks later he set off for the port. "where are you headed?" the ferryman asked " the United States" Daros answered "well, with you being an old friend and all, I guess I could give you a discount, how does £100 sound?" "sounds splendid!" Daros replied and he set off for the United States.

Hera Ledro looked off into the horizon. Turning back to Jake, he said, "So, where do you think we should start our assault? The White House is out of the question right now, I think we should cripple their military first."
Jake grinned. "You should take Area 51. Irony much?"
Hera laughed. "Yeah, really. An alien taking out the military research base of Area 51. How...suiting." Frowning, he said, "In that case, you should take the nuclear test site just a few miles away from there. Make sure that you don't stay there too long. Get in, get out, get the job done. I don't want you killed."
Jake smirked. "Please, you think those military dopes can out-battle me?"
"It's not the military I'm worried about, it's the nuclear radiation. I just don't want you exposed to it for long. If I have to cut off one of your body parts to stop the radiation from spreading, I will, but I'd rather not have to do that."
Jake nodded. "Alright, alright." He walked over to the edge of the building, his hair billowing in the morning wind. "Same goes for you, Area 51 isn't the nicest place in the world."
Hera smiled darkly. "Acknowledged. I'll see you later, then."
Jake transformed into his balck and red Dragon form, and, without looking at his ancient ancestor, replied, "Yeah, see ya."
In a burst of white Chi, the Dragon took off southwest, heading straight for the NTS and Yucca Mountain. Hera Ledro looked after his young grandson, and then turned his attention upwards, looking at the stars.
I wonder, he thought. If the stars really know how hard we're fighting for them, if people really understand the things we go through just to keep them safe. If only they really knew how hard we fought for them...
Looking back, southwest (Jake was now far out of sight, even with Hera's superior eyesight), he rose into the air, and blasted towards the military base, Area 51.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Jake's eyes were streaming with tears as he sped through the air, towards Yucca Mountain. When, he thought, when will we finally be done with this? Why are there so many people bent on domination? What is it that makes ruling over someone so great? We are placing our lives on the line to stop mad people, to make sure that they don't kill anymore people than they already have. I never would've expected Bush, fool that he is, to go and ally with Sukani. What's going on here, even Bush wouldn't do that...hell, Hitler wouldn't've done that. And, to make things worse, Boromyo is on Sukani's side. The two most powerful forces in this universe, and they're fighting with each other instead of against each other.
Jake came to a screeching halt above the mount, looking down at all the workers that were going in and out, making it so that this place would be able to store nuclear waste and other such pollutes.
"Bastards..." muttered Jake. "If I destroy this place, I'll be able to slow down their nuclear production, because they'll have nowhere to store the nuclear waste."
Descending to the other side of the large hill, Jake aimed his hand at a part of the rock above the mountain. Jake summoned his Chi, his white aura flaring around him, and grunted as he blasted a straight beam of pure energy through the side, tunnelling a hole in 5 seconds flat. He slipped into the tunnel, and watched silently from within, waiting for the humans to move away from the site, a he had caused a slight cave-in. Whent he humans left, he would crawl in and sabotage it all...

"Sh-t"
Hudson was pissed the hell of. This was probably the fifth damned time that he'd stopped for repairs. It didn't surprise him though, considering the fact that it was just a crappy little red motorbike. He cursed his luck as he spent the next hour in the glare of the hot desert sun, huched over an already steaming hunk of junk.
"Must be something wrong with the gears again. Dammit..." Muttered Hudson to himself.
Where the hell was he anyways? For a moment, he halted his work on the bike to reach into his Eastpack book bag for his road map. Apparently, he was perilously close to the Yucca mountains.
And the hairs on the back of his neck were starting to tingle. Some had the ability to use energy. And well at that. In fact, whoever it was was powerful, which made things interesting.
He was hoping to get his attention, but seeing as how he didn't want to over-exert himself out here.
He carefully pointed his finger out to the sky, carefully channeling enough energy for a fairly visible blast. The easiest and most enjoyable part was pulling the "trigger", sending a thin, yellow beam of energy piercing through the vast sky like a shot.
He hoped that he'd grab somebody's attention. He was sick of ridining alone on the damned motorbike, in crazy new world.

OOC: Frenzy you do realise that this time I’m not playing with Ku right? Since you make references to him. Anyways I’ll have Ravona start off in Japan as well so I can annoy Nova  <o:p></o:p>
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
IC:<o:p></o:p>
Ravona’s bare toes felt the cold from the roof tiles below her feet, sensation welcome sensation on the hot summer night. Looking down at the streets Ravona saw the people below going about their business without a care in the world. From this height the people looked like ants, and only Ravona’s enhanced sight allowed her to actually tell people apart.<o:p></o:p>
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
However Ravona wasn’t here for the people below her. No, her object of interest lay in front of her. Before her ‘Chiba's School for Gifted Youngsters’ lay stretched out surrounded by a large fence. Ravona didn’t need her ‘Mage Sight’ to tell her it was protected by magic. Anyone could see the feint glow coming from the fence.<o:p></o:p>
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
However seeing what spells were cast on it was something a mundane could not, the barrier cast on the fence was strong. Most likely it was cast by a group of people rather then an individual. This made simply dispelling the magic impossible, however Ravona wouldn’t have done so even if she could. Doing so would tell the entire school that someone was trying to get in.<o:p></o:p>
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
Instead Ravona looked for weaknesses in the field. She would only need to bend the barrier a little and slip through without leaving a trace, and barriers of this size usually had flaws in them. After a few moments of searching Ravona found what she had been searching for 40 metres above ground there was a small defect in the barrier Ravona mumbled a few words and shrouded herself in magic before leaping into the air and flying towards the barrier.<o:p></o:p>
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
Without slowing down Ravona drew a symbol in the air whilst flying and a small blue bullet of energy hit the barrier, the barrier rippled and opened up allowing Ravona to pass through before closing itself once more. Immediately after passing through Ravona let herself shoot towards the ground and only slowing down a few centimetres before she hit the ground.<o:p></o:p>

Looking left and right Ravona didn’t see anyone who might have noticed her entrance. Now that she was inside things were easier. Ravona had spend two days watching the school from outside and had noticed that while at the front gate everyone passing through was checked on ID on the school ground security was less then optimal. Many of the buildings had no lock, and those that did usually had other ways to get into. Ravona started moving from one building to an other. Because it was night there weren’t any students around, only a few guards patrolled the grounds but those were more a formality anyone would be able to avoid them.<o:p></o:p>

After several minutes Ravona reached her target. Above the entrance the word ‘bibliotheca’ was written. The word was written in an language from this world called Latin, a language no longer in common use other then some fields of science. Ravona hadn’t bothered studying the almost dead language any further then reading through a dictionary. Still this library probably was her best shot to find what she had been searching for. Knowledge.<o:p></o:p>
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
The door was unlocked and inside the building there was light. Perhaps a cleaner or maybe a student working late on a project or something. Ravona didn’t bother sneaking around any longer, she opened the door and went inside, softly closing the door behind her, and walked through the hallway. Soon she found herself surrounded by endless lines of books on various subjects.<o:p></o:p>
However the books here weren’t the ones Ravona cared about, these books only contained knowledge that could be find in any library, hardly worth the effort of sneaking in the school. Ravona closed her eyes and felt the pull of magic below her. That’s what she had felt in the last few days, a strong magical force below this library. If Ravona was correct it was an tome containing advanced magic, Ravona didn’t know for sure of course but even if it was not what she thought it was it still would be an artefact of considerable power.<o:p></o:p>

While walking Ravona kept her ears and eyes open for anyone who might be around. As she proceed towards the staircase leading to the lower floors Ravona became more and more under the impression that things were going too easy. Even if the schools security was bad she had expected at least a barrier or two, of perhaps a trap of some sort but so far nothing had happened. In any case Ravona had wrapped herself in Mage Armour to be safe from any trap.<o:p></o:p>
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
Just as her suspicion began to rise even more Ravona sensed magic in the air, it was from a ward spell. Or rather it’s remains. Someone had already triggered the ward, a spell that warned the caster if someone enters a certain area, which was not a good thing.<o:p></o:p>
Ravona looked back but didn’t notice anyone in the library. The situation was alarming, Ravona was sure she hadn’t triggered that ward so someone had entered before her. Ravona could still sense the artefact below her so it hadn’t been removed.<o:p></o:p>
The only question was whether the one who triggered the ward had turned back or had continued. In any case it was likely people would soon enter here to check things out.<o:p></o:p>
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
Ravona made up her mind and continued, she went down the stairs deep into the ground. At the end of the stairs she arrived at a door. The door itself was impressive, made completely out of metal it seemed like it could only be opened by using the key panel on it. Ravona didn’t really understand modern locks so normally she would have trouble entering. Had it not been that the door was already open.<o:p></o:p>
Ravona reminded herself to thank however did this as it made her job a lot easier. Ravona proceeded and noticed several more triggered wards. To be safe Ravona decided to place a ward herself in case anyone would try and come here while she was still around.<o:p></o:p>
As Ravona continued she sensed she was getting closer too her goal, until she came at the final door at the end of the hallway. From the door Ravona could hear people talking.<o:p></o:p>

Female voice 1: “Are you done yet? What if someone shows up?”<o:p></o:p>
Female voice 2: “Don’t rush me. I think it might be protected by a spell.”<o:p></o:p>

There were two women in the room, their voices sounded quite young though, perhaps they were students from this school. Ravona peaked inside and saw two girls standing a few metres from a pedestal. On the pedestal lay a large leather clad book. The two girls seemed to have difficulty breaking through the force field surrounding the pedestral. Not surprising as it was on a completely different level then the barrier that surrounded the school campus.<o:p></o:p>
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
Not planning to wait till the two had broken the force field and taken the book before her Ravona decided it would be best to confront them. Her Mage Sight had already told her the two had only very weak magical abilities so she didn’t really have to fear getting into a fight with them. Ravona opened | | | |
