The Guild of the Rose

Xavier looked worried..

"Yes I am a member of the original mages - my name is Xavier... Please follow me to the Gallery, we can discuss there away from the other mages. This is my time to talk."

Xavier moved his hand to the right pointing up the staris.. "Please follow me"
 
Shadow nodded. "OK, let's go" Shadow picked up his scythe and bounded up the stairs, leaving Xavier to follow. As he reached the top, he saw another man, most likely another mage, but decided against introducing himself. Time for that later. He sat down in a nearby chair, inconspicuously scanning the area for hostile magic. You can never tell when someone is out to get you.
 
Xavier closed the door and sat in the chair and started talking things over with Shadow.

"Well things have been quiet for so long, why have you returrned? Don't think I don't recognise who you are shadow. You don't fool me..."

Xavier stood up against the fire...
"Why have you returned?"
 
Shadow sighed. Well, he was partially correct. "Well, your half-right. Shadow, get out here. We need to talk." Shadow's shadow rose from the ground, shaping itself into the spitting image of Shadow, only black. Shadow (current) rose from his seat and took two steps back from Shadow (original). "While Shadow is with me, i'm not him. That's him. I'm a new one, and i'm here for instruction in focusing my magic. He's with me so as to find answers to his questions. So am i, i suppose, as we both want to know: Who is he? What can you tell us about his own past?" Shadow (original) nodded. "Xavier, my memories are gone, to a point i only know who i am and where this place is. That suggested to me answers are here. Are they?"
 
Xavier looked confused..

"Simply facsinating.. Shadow's shadow has defeated death and jumped through the borders to stay to this world and has attached him to your body because you look so much like him..."

"Well shadow.."

Xavier turned around....

"Angelus's son is with us - we are gaining strength again... These books all have our history and battles and background in... Take your time and read them.. you can home your skills.. and relearn what you remember.. I will retune the training area in a few days..."

Xavier walked to the bookcase and removed a book which revealed a hidden console...

Xavier held his hand against the console and a door opened up different to before.. He went in and removed two of his favorite swords..

"Guess I better get working.. Untill I am finshed please read whats happening and see if you can understand this anymore."

Xavier walked out the door and the console dissolved.
 
"Ok then" Shadow and Shadow (not specifying which is which) both took up a book and began to read up on the history of the guild, Shadow (original) focusing more on events involving him more then anything else. Shadow (current) was focusing on disasters due to magi opposing the guild and Shadow (original)
 
OOC: Nice to see youre RP'in hasnt changed at all Shadow :P
It still un-paragraphed and corrected eg "IMA FUCKING MOOGE BIATCH!"
Lolz, ko. Luv you really bro

--------------------------------

IC: Angelus walked into the hidden room and found portraits of all the old guild. At the very end labelled "Guild Leader and Grand Master Mage" was a picture of someone called Sephirothalpha. He was medium height and longish silver hair with a fireball held in his right hand. Next to his portrait was a picture of his father "Angelus: Guild Leader, Elementalist of Water and Thunder"

His father was the spitting image of him. Tall, dark long haired, bright bue eyes, dressed in black and the exact 2 swords were in the picture as they were in his own hands. The only difference? His father had more wisdom in his eyes. He was so much younger compared the experience his dad had.

Seeing his father in his full glory. Angelus feel to his knee and broke into tears. HE would live up to hs name.

*many hours later after rest*

Angel walked into the CR and found aiden deep in his book.

"One question...what is the purpose of this guild?"
 
Xavier looked up..

"Well Angelus this guild is the defenders of this world.. the last strong fortress of mankind.. We are outcasts from the world.. Socail and demographic outcasts... Our powers keep us far from the world but we are mankinds last aid in war... We keep ourselves to ourselves and then when we need to we strike together and effectively.."

Xavier stood up and removed a wand out of his cane and spoke into it- "Attention Guild Members - the training room has basic training facilites - If you would you like to use these facilities - I will assess you all on your magical abilities and will decide on elements for you all to study further in"

What was said was said into the guild's PA system.

"Angel please excuse me I must deal with something."

Xavier stood up and walked through the wall.. he must talk to Alexander.
 
Shadow (current) sighed and closed his book. He was hoping there was something like this here. He looked over at Shadow (original). "You want to come train with me, or you gonna keep reading?" Shadow (original) considered, then shook his head. "No thanks, i want to find out about my past. Besides, you need to focus on a specialization. I can't help you do that. All i can do is help out with physical fighting." That was true. While an essence of a shadow, Shadow (original) was, strangely enough, able to pick up and use physical objects. Thus, Shadow (current) kept two weapons with him: a scythe for himself, and a blade made entirely of the gemstones jet and beryl (black emerald). Shadow (current) nodded, and walked over to the stairs, dropping his pack behind him and twirling his scythe with a single hand as he went.

Shadow (is always current for the rest of this post) entered the training facilities, stopping his scythe twirling and putting himself into a battle stance. "Computer, if your there, create a knight, with chain mail armor, a steel shield, and a steel sword, who can wield all basic magic on a low level." Shadow thought he heard a beeping sound, then a knight, described as Shadow said, materialized 20 ft. away from him. "Alright, shall we do this?" Shadow said conversationally to his CPU opponent, then he lunged forward, bringing his scythe around to slash the knight.

The knight caught the strike on his shield and brought his sword down in a downwards counter slash. Shadow merely adjusted the way he was holding his scythe and caught the blade on the handle of his scythe. As the knight brought his sword up for another slash, Shadow jumped back and, gathering his energy, he spoke "POSION!" a ball of green flew from Shadow's scythe and hit the knight, knocking him back a little and turning his features slightly pale. Apparently, the CPU wasn't used to dark magics being used so quickly. Shadow grinned and spoke again. "You having trouble there, Knight? you look a bit pale. Let me help you with your illness problem" With that, Shadow jumped high and brought his scythe down in a slash.

The knight, although in pain brought his shield up and caught the slash. Shadow was in the air, but not helpless. "SLOW!" Shadow roared, and time seemed to falter and slow around the Knight. Shadow flipped, bring his scythe off the knight's shield, and landed behind the knight. The knight, slower then it should be, tried to move get into a defensive position, but was stopped by Shadow's scythe coming around and severing his head. The knight disappeared, and Shadow went over and sat down in a nearby chair, resting for the moment. Casting two spells in quick succesion wasn't that hard for him, but he didn't know when anyone else would come in and launch another simulation when he was off guard. Although resting, Shadow kept his scythe in his hand, and his eyes were constantly scanning the room.
 
Xavier appeared out of the shadows..

"Not too shabby my friend...

Now the real test... Computer Activate Program Test 1"

The room faded and the clouds opened....

An Angel appeared in the sky..

"Shadow have a go.. Lets see how powerful you really are."

Xavier pulled out his cane.. and pointed it at the ceiling..

"This shall just be a test of strength... Computer activate anti-magical barrier.."

"Passcode authorisation"

Xavier closed his eyes

"Passcode complete - Welcome Back Master."

Xavier looked at shadow - well shall we?

Xavier removed his greatsword from his back and attached his cane to his back..

"Lets go then.."

Xavier ran forwards towards the angels and started to slash away at it.
 
Shadow grinned. "Alright, one second" As Shadow (current) and Shadow (original) shared a body to some degree, they had telepathic communication. "Shadow! get over here! we're fighting physically, no magic!" "OK, i'm coming!" Shadow (original) grabbed the gemstone sword and flew down the stairs (literally, shadows have no attachment to the ground, so Shadow (original) in his current body can fly). Shadow (original) appeared next to Shadow (current) and grinned at him. "You ready?" "Of course, let's go!" Both Shadows charged at the angels, one jumping, one flying.

(This paragraph is for the current Shadow) Shadow, jumping at an enemy, swung his scythe at the nearest angel. As it swung, Shadow prepared to step on his scythe, so as to launch himself upwards. The angel caught the attack on its blade, and Shadow stepped on his scythe, launching himself upwards and bringing his scythe so it was pointing down. As he went above the angel, he swung his scythe forward, carving into the angels skull and making it dematerialize. Shadow brought his scythe closer to him and then began to twirl it in an intricate dance designed to keep opponent's physical attacks away from him while he was heading towards the ground. Anything that came near would be cut.

(this paragraph belongs to Shadow original) Shadow flew forward, twirling his blade in a circle. As he came near an angel, he brought his blade around and swung at it's head. The angel blocked it with it's own blade and thrust with it's blade. Shadow flipped his blade around and, catching it by the flat of the blade, guarded the thrust with the hilt. Then he pushed forward with the hilt and forced the blade back, and as he drew back his own blade, he flipped it once more and slashed out at his opponent's face. This time, he managed to hit, and a long but shallow cut appeared across it. The angel shrieked, and tried to cover it's face. Shadow took that opportunity to sever the angel's legs, and it quickly dematerialized. Shadow then turned and flew towards another angel.

OOC: God, managing two people with the same name but different styles is a bit difficult. BTW, i assumed you summoned multiple magic immune angels, and so my Shadows are each fighting a few. If not, then i will edit my earlier post to have one of the Shadows summon a few more angels, probably with the cause that one will be too easy.
 
Xavier seemed to fly across the room and carved his sword straight into the king of the angels..

"Computer end program"

Xavier landed on the floor - and as soon as he did he came out of the room through the wall.
 
Angel went back to his father's room. He lay on the bed and felt the urge to sleep...

*dream world*

Ragnarok was flying in the sky. Angel was watching him do stunts in the air. Ragnarok landed on the ground right next to him

"I've always wanted to talk to you telepathically but i couldn't disobey your fathers orders until the time came"

Angel looked puzzlingly at the dragon who was looking at him with its square head tilted.

"Not long before he was re-claimed by death itself he told me what to do in the event of his death. I'd to seek you out, raise you myself and give you your inherited powers when you were ready. I see your mind perfectly boy. You are exactly what your father intented...righteous"

Angel: "..."

Raggy: "When you wake up come to my den, i will give you something that was given to me by Angelus Senior...for now sleep well"

--------------------------------------------------------

*17 years before*

Ragnarok had been searching for 2 years straight now, yet he had finally tracked down his master's son. He'd stay true to his dying wish. It was only 5 minutes flight away now. He saw it over the horizon now...oh shit...

The town he was supposed to be going to was in flames. Soldiers were marching through burning and slaughtering all in sight

(to be continued)

OOC: What you didnt think id reveal ALL of Angel's past in the one post :P
PS- OOC: What your addy Shadow? I already have yours Aiden ;)
 
OOC: Maybe you should reveal all :)

IC : Xavier had gone into his room..


He removed his wand from his cane and pointed it at the holocrom on the wall

"Show night 205329 Desert and Aiden"

"She must be somewhere...."

Xaiver looked at Desert with a longing.. He needed her in his life.

Xavier pointed at the holocrom " Computer cancel program"

"Computer Lights"

Xavier sat in his chair infront of the camera and turned on the his reading light...

"As I have always said - I will become the powerfullest mage on the planet..

I need to inherit the elements.."

Xavier closed his book and turned off the light put on his cape and climbed out of his window and walked into the guild courtyard..

"Dissepardo"

Xavier dissapered into a small cloud of white smoke..
 
OOC: Er, wtf is an addy?

IC: "Well that was no fun" Shadow (original) complained as Xavier disappeared from the training room. Shadow (current) nodded his agreement. "He could have sticked around and issued some more challenges for us." Both Shadows sighed, then began to walk up the stairs back to the library. "So, find out anything yet, Shadow?" "Nothing yet, apparently the history about me is missing" (This is due that i can't for the life of me remember what i did with Shadow back during the Mages Guild time, so you guys have to fill me in from what you remember). Shadow (current) frowned. "That's odd, you would think the library would be more informative."

Shadow (original) nodded. "So either someone destroyed the records, or they never made records of my history here. Either way, we need to find out what happened. I think we should find Angelus's son or Xavier: either of them should be able to help." Shadow (current) considered, then nodded. "Ok, let me grab my pack and put up the sword, then we'll go look for Xavier first. He said he was one of the originals, and he knows a lot more about you then he's letting on. I think he doesn't want to tell us wat happened." Both Shadows entered the library and Shadow (current) picked up his pack and placed the blade inside it. Then Shadow (original) shimmered and then went down into the ground, reverting back to Shadow's shadow.

Shadow looked around. Angelus's son was gone, and Xavier wasn't here. Which meant he was going to have to track down Xavier. He looked out the window and cursed under his breath. He watched as Xavier muttered a spell and dissapeared in a cloud of smoke. "Well, plan B. Shadow, where is Angelus's old room?" Shadow had a bet that Angelus's son would be there. "That way" Shadow (original) muttered to Shadow in his mind, and darkness seem to clot a part of his vison. Shadow turned in that direction and saw a dark aura permeating a room that down the hall. He walked that way and found Angelus's son sleeping on the bed.

Shadow shook him. "Hey, Angelus's son. Wake up. I need to ask you a few questions."
 
Xavier reappaered miles away in the city.

"I have to see the general and get myself some workers for the guild.."

Xavier walked through the encampment and looked through the rows of tents for the generals tent.

"Where is he.."

"Ah Karsonolise - Again a fond welcome.. It's been too long.."

"Aiden.. what do you want?"

"its Xavier thank you verymuch, and i need some people to help me restore the guild"

"Ah your still at the guild.... the guild of mages..

"No. not no more - not since the war - now its the order of the rose"

"ah okay - don't worry i'll sent the masters in a few hours."

"Thanks very much"

Xavier removed his wand and muttered the same words -.. within a second a puff of white smoke and he was back in his room.

"So thats that sorted"
 
Angel upruptly woke up to see a unfamiliar man looming over his bed looking curiously at him

"Can I help you??"

Angel remembered his dream, he should go see Ragnarok soon just in case, for the time being he'd see who this fellow was

---------------------

OOC: By 'addy' i mean 'email address'
 
"Yeah, your Angelus's son, right?" Shadow asked the man. He backed away from the bed to give the man room. "I was wondering if your father told you anything about Shadow's (i mean original here, this Shadow's past is to be unknown) past."
 
Xavier awoke to the loud noise .. It sounded to him like a dissapate and he instantly shot up and grabbed his wand..

"Whose There!"

The noise and the smoke dissapered..

He stood up and put on his black robe. and got his cane and walked down the steps into his private study.. On his desk there was a beautiful red robe. and a letter with a vial on it.

Xavier sat down and started to read...


"Aiden... Sorry Xavier,

If you are reading this then you are old and your body is getting older and immortality is getting harder to show... The reason I write this note and not deliever it in person Xavier is that we are in a war... They have come back.. we need your help.

The vial on the desk is a topper - it means your body will cease to live - and return you to the last known living memory - which in your case is before you were cursed. This means it will make your body younger for good. We need your help. Please take the vial - get changed into the battle robes and then dissapte to the base. I will meet you there and we can talk. We need you."

Regards,

General A.T.D Karson

Xavier looked at the vial.

"Hmm bugger it.."

He swallowed the vial - and then he decided to wait whilst he wrote a letter.

"Dear guild members,

If you are reading this I have dissapated back to the front line. I will be gone for a few days whilst me and the general arrange a few things.. Once i get back I have a few surprises."

Keep training and good luck.

Regards,

Xavier.


Xavier got into the red robes and saw the fact that he was young again..

He left his cane on the side but removed his wand - walked into his armoury and then he got some more equipment.

He snuck down stairs into the auditorium and left the note and then said his farewell's and dissapated.... " It was the last the guild saw of Xavier.. "

OOC: I Will return in a few posts.. but things will be different...
 
Angelus looked up at shadow "No, i never met my father. Ragnarok knew my father and most probably also knew Shadow, but i didnt sadly...sorry :("

Angel stood up and breathed deeply

"Im going to go see Ragnarok the now. Ill emet you at his den in about 15 minutes"

When Angel walked into Raggy's den, the dragon was sitting wide awake looking over at him.

He heard a voice in his head

"Finally, i was beginning to wonder when you'de come. I knew your father well. I grew up with her when i was a young hatchling. He took care of me, but when i grew up alongside him, i took care of him. In his death i found you and raised you as he would have wanted and now it time i gave you you inheritance, It in your blood to be a mage. Only a few can do it and by God youre one of the best of them"

Angel "what is my inheritence"

Raggy "Your fathers power. He gave me it not long before he died. he knew death would come after him and he wanted you to have this so you would one day be as strong as him. When i give you it you'll be unconscious for a bit so your body can get used to the change it going through. All this simply does is unlock your ability to do magic and also more. You wont instantly gain your fathers immense magical power, but instead it will grow over time as you gain more experience. Prepare yourself!"

Raganrok sprung up and opened his Jaws as if he was about to breathe fire. A lump rose fom ragnarok's throat and travelled up to his mouth. Angelus looking in awe towards this. A second later a blue orb floated out of ragnaroks jaws. it hovered in mid air a second and then...it shot at Angel.

Angel was knocked of his feet and fired into the opposite wall. He was unconscious. Ragnarok sat next to him guarding him

--------------------------------------------

*17 years ago*

Ragnarok flew as fast as his wings would allow him to the burning town. As he was above it he dived towards the ground towards soldiers whlst casting basic water spells upon any fire that had been lit. After many hours, the dragon had proceeded to kill any soldiers however many of the soldier had already killed a great number of the town's people. He smelled him then after the battle. He was crying and cold. He could sense it...

Ragnarok followed the scent towards the middle of the town. There he was in the middle of the road. Some unkilled soldiers were looming over him. Well they WERE until Ragnarok simply pounced and killed them with his razor talons. He was there in his dead mother's arms. Her body was cold and drenched from her own blood. No wonder he was cold. His mother was no longer warm. He picked the 2 year old Angelus up and flew away to safety...

(to be continued)

OOC: I also play the character/animal t that is Ragnarok as i did before in the old Guild
