[Invite-Only] Legend of Zelda: Explorers of Hyrule RPG

[AzuniCatto]

This is another reason to hate magic. She pondered her ideas. Self sacrifice, grow an object to block it, tackle the pirate, pull Amethyst out of the blow... She had to start somewhere, for she didn't know what the red crack was. She opened one of the barrels, draining it then throwing it to intercept the beam. The barrel was vaporized. She flinched as the crack increased. She flung herself at the pirate, trying to knock the weapon out of his hands. (Portal gets to decide if this works.)

Shiallia - Tower - idek anymore

Shia's face rapidly cycled through shock, then anger, then a defeated but clearly uncomfortable wariness. "Neither of them can shapeshift, Zeph. And they don't even know each other. And... He never burned himself. How did you- Oh. You must've looked through my memories. How rude." She narrowed her eyes slightly, still keeping her eyes away from the copy of her old... She didn't know what to call him anymore. Friend? Enemy? Isn't frenemy the word people use nowadays? Eh... Doesn't matter.

Day 8 (Evening)/Jakub/121/Where: Badlands Bridge/With: Jack and Tenebris

Tenebris, full of rage, began to create a red ball of dark energy in between her hands.
Oh, you've always had a way with words, Jakub. You think you're so clever!
She launched the orb directly at him, still standing still with no signs of moving.
Large spears made of plasma formed in the air above her and shot themselves down at Jakub. With each hit, jolts of black lightning surged through Jakub's body.
IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT YOU ISN'T IT? BIG, FANTASTIC, MIGHTY YOU.
Bright blue and white lasers shot out of Tenebris' eyes at Jakub. She flicked her finger up, lifting his body off of the ground. Jabbing her hand from side to side, she dragged Jakub's body back and forth, up and down, smacking it against the ground over and over.
I BET THIS DOESN'T HURT YOU AT ALL, CUZ YOU'RE SO TOUGH.
Tendrils of ectoplasmic dark matter came down from the sky and hit Jakub from all sides.
YOU'VE GOT YOUR FANCY BOAT AND SUPER SPECIAL MAGIC AND YOUR EXOTIC PET ROCK.
Bubbles of magma-coated re-unfrozen antimatter surged towards Jakub and stuck to his body.
ARE YOU FEELING IT NOW, MR. WILKS?
Uber-Negative Quantum laser sword axes with magnetic energy crystal fiberoptic neutrino beams metabolized corrosively from the fifth dimension, defenestrating Jakub with unfathomably infinite levels of ancient legendary witchcraft voodoo spells.
Jakub's body lied sprawled across the ground. His muscles were weak and he could barely concentrate on thinking with the sheer amount of pain that he was feeling. His vision slowly came to though, and despite being dizzy, he managed to get back up on his feet.
"This has been one helmaroc of a day." Jakub thought to himself.
Tenebris, unsatisfied, began to conjure another spell until she stopped and smiled mischievously to herself.
Look at you, tough guy. Still in your prime, I can see.
Tenebris snapped her fingers, causing a glass orb with dark grey smoke in it to appear.
I think it's about time you act your age.
Tenebris crushed the glass orb in her hand, causing the smoke to fly out of it into Jakub's body. He dropped to his knees and began yelling in pain.
What's wrong, tough guy? Did those hundred years finally catch up with ya?
Jakub's muscles grew weak as he coughed excessively and his hair turned white. Wrinkles formed on his face and the color in his eyes grew dull. Jakub sat still for a few moments, staring at his reflection in a shard of glass created on the sand by one of Tenebris' lightning bolts.
So... this is what it's l-like...
Jakub stuttered at the sound of his own voice.
...what it's like... to be one hundred... and twenty one years old...
Jakub looked at his hand and saw the wrinkles of all the adventures he had been on, now apparent on his hand.
Tenebris lowered herself down to the ground next to Jakub and walked up to him.
Shame you won't make it to 122.

As Sapphire dived towards the sword-wielding pirate, Gill slammed the hilt of the sword backwards- once it was inches from her face, the reality around her reformed to its original state, with Gill, once again, aiming his blade at Amethyst.
Sapphire sat, complacently, pondering what next step of action to take.
After a short moment, she decided stabbing him seemed like quite the idea.
She drew her Ice Spear, and held it at the ready- counting the seconds until her attack.
A bright green light gradually formed around the tip of the sword- at that, Sapphire jumped into action.
She gracefully sailed through the air, spear at the forefront of her jump, and within moments the spear penetrated the side of his chest.
A deep, visceral hum reverberated around Sapphires mindscape.
Within moments, ruby red blood trickled from the wound, which was rapidly freezing as it made contact with the oxygen around it.
Gill's expression contorted into an empty, blank face- as the world around Sapphire vibrated, particles in the air dissipated.
A sharp, yet still drawn out, gasp came from around the room as the particles around Sapphire transmuted into a wispy fog, surging lazily backwards.
The once thick fog, still dwindling upon Sapphire's form, was lifted from the dazed perception of her reality, once again- she could see clearly. Almost.
You ignorant, pathetic, Zora. How did you, YOU, work your way out of my puzzle? I'm going to- Dark Zeph began his rant, angrily. He swiftly reached up, attempting to place his hand around Sapphire's arm- though when his hand made contact, a low bass-level noise resonated at the point. He was hastily repelled backwards.
For a brief moment, he displayed a look of completely disdain, before he regained his composure and locked eyes with Sapphire again. Someone's been busy. He said, as if he had the taste of metal on his tongue.
----------------------------
Oh, Alli. Zeph said, grinning yet again- outstretching his arms. In seconds, the assumed form of Ren began to waver, darkening, as if water was collecting on it. After a moment, pieces of wet cloth began to fall to the floor, with Dark Zeph's form back in his place.Well, at least I tried. Must you call me by his name?
Oh, well. He said, shrugging indifferently.
Oh, Allie. I can see it- The ignited rage you bury deep down, I can feel it. Zeph said, amused- stepping towards Shia as he speaks.
You can't even look at him. Wind howled in the distance outside the walls, causing an eerie noise to echo through the room.
Doesn't it feel beautiful? A work of art, only complete in the act. Anger, a pure- unadulterated, heated rage. You might not even know yet, but that will be...well, you'll see.
Now rage, anger...betrayal...Primal emotions, full of such meaning- a whisper from the god's.
But that's just it, isn't it? Goddesses don't speak in whisperers, they scream.He might only be 16, but his rage, his pure anger? Ancient, and timeless. We exist in unity, harmony. A fiery, cohabitation. Anger and I. You won't find us apart. But that's really the point, is it not? He may not have burned himself, but in the end, well- we all Burn.
And what about me?
Heh, well that I know a thing about.
I'm the arsonist. Dark Zeph said, a dark, twisted laugh, full of malice and intent rebounded around Shia's mind, as a dark flame ignited to life as a trail up his forearm.

[AzuniCatto]

(Yes, Portal got permission, by the way.)

Sapphire shut her eyes as Dark Zeph reached over. "AAHh-Uhh, ahh? Wha?" She seemed startled by the noise. She shivered and looked at her arm curiously. When Dark Zeph began speaking somewhat scornfully, she felt mildly guilty. "Um? Wh-what was that?"

Journeyman Ferondir of Mira ~ A Tower ~ Nothing is certain

He was weak, soaked in blood, unable to do anything but lie there in agony.
This was one wound he wouldn't be able to shrug off. He hadn't been injured this bad since he'd lost his arm.
He shifted his hand to the wound, it came back covered in blood.
He took a shaky breath. In and out.
Okay... the knife seemed to have missed his lung. That's good.
Still, this was way to much blood.
He presses his hand on the wound and clenched his teeth as the pain spiked.
"Sanetur." He managed.
The healing that would have taken a day, happened in a little more then a second.
He was in no shape to move, but now the bleeding had stopped, both internal and external. His energy was gone now. He'd have to hope his friends could get them out of this alive.
That hope was the last thing on his mind when he fell out of consciousness.

Shiallia - Tower - Just Dark Zeph at this point, I believe

Shia was silent for some time. She'd never really thought about Zeph as someone who would have anything in common with her. Maybe he's not as bad as I thought... She snorted. "Well, what do you want me to call you? You look like him, and you didn't tell me your name." She eyed the fire. "That looks dramatic. Dangerous, too. I guess you're really going all out. Anyways, are you going to do something with me, or just talk? I mean, other than screwing with my mind and all that." She wasn't sure what to think, so sh ejust blocked Ferondir from her thoughts. She didn't want to see any more fake projections of him, and she certainly didn't want to see the real him. Should've stayed in Arbor Harbor. I've gotten nothing but a boomerang, a complicated friendship, and aching feet from this 'adventure.'

Journeyman Ferondir of Mira ~ A Tower ~ Nothing is certain

Initiate Ferondir of MIra ~ MIra Village ~ A long time ago
He had just arrived back in Mira from a meeting with the Masters in Castletown, where they'd chosen his magic type.
He, of course, immediately ran to tell his two best friends the news.
But he couldn't find them anywhere. Not at any of their homes, nor in their favorite tree. They weren't even near the sacred rocks.
"Where are you guys?" He asked no one.
On his second pass through the town, he smashed into the local blacksmith, on his way home.
The man caught his shoulders before any harm could be done. "Where are you off to so fast, Kid?"
"Sorry. I'm looking for Zeph and Cass."
The blacksmith chuckled. "Yeah, I saw them heading toward Dawnberry Farm. Looked pretty exited about something."
Ferondir ran off in that direction, calling, "Thanks, I'm sorry!"
The man just laughed.
Why would they be at Dawnberry Farm? What shenanigans were they up too now?
He arrived at the gate to find it shut, just like always. The rancher who lived here only came to town for the market, and he didn't like people on his property.
He reached through the bars and unlocked it.

Shiallia - Tower - the fam

Shia pressed on her forehead, trying to clear her mind. Stupid adventure, stupid friends, stupid magic everywhere- A thought occured to her. Why's there so much magic everywhere? There shouldn't be... Unless someone's using some pretty strong illusion magic. Someone who has a name starting with Z and ending with eph. Illusion spells can't do their thing if you know they're not real, right? Isn't that how that goes? She figured it'd be best to let people know. "It's not real," she announced in a very loud, moderately irritated voice. "He's just screwing with your brains."

[portal2lbp2]

"Well, what do you want me to call you? You look like him, and you didn't tell me your name."
Oh, Shiallia. I may look like him, for he is only my vessel- a personificationif you will. The friendliest faces always have the palest reflections. As for the topic of my name, abstract concepts need not but an idea to take form. Dark Zeph said, rather indifferently.
Hm. I've usually found a flare for the dramatic to be rather refreshing in such a basic time period.
I guess you're really going all out.
Oh, well, I would certainly hope this isn't the high point of the night, there's far too much more to come.
are you going to do something with me, or just talk?
Well, at the moment it would be quite impetuous to stop our current conversation. Besides, I'm attending to other matters at the moment as well. This- Dark Zeph said gesturing around the room. is all just... entertainment. For my own amusement, of course. As underwhelming as it sounds. Chaos is just, ever so filling to the insatiable.
He's just screwing with your brains. Shia said to everyone else.
Oh Shia, you do have your clever moments don't you? This might be more exciting than I'd expected. Dark Zeph noted.
But that's the thing about illusions, isn't it? Not everything is what it seems. Dark Zeph said, waving his hand towards Shia..
As he did, she suddenly felt a feeling of temporary Vertigo.
