Blood of Requiem (Weredragon/griffin rider RP)

Raz~Female~ Vir Requis

My lungs felt as if they were being crushed by the pressure being pushed down upon my back. I slowly dragged my hands forward as I got ready to force my self up. To force this beast of a man off of me but I stopped. The words of the man coming to me and I made me smile some. Shadow would not back down because of me, after all I had killed many of his kind. I was only this morning his enemy. Why would he back down from these men's offer? But what really stopped me from moving, what really had frozen me in place was the voice of Shadow. The voice of his, his words slicing threw me like a knife. "Promise not to hurt her." that was what he had said. Was that weredragon really worried about me. Did he really not want to see me get hurt? It confused me, and angered me. He was a fool, a stupid reckless fool because of that. I can easily get out of this, easily as I was just about to but I had lost my chance now. The sudden shock of what shadow said froze me long enough for the one that had his foot on my back realize what I was doing. With a grunt from him I was slammed back into the earth, it may have only been an inch but the was enough to knock the wind from me. I coughed a second as I closed me eyes. Before taking in as much air as I possibly could. It did not take long now for the ropes to come. At that the man removed his foot and strong rope came bounding my hands together. I stayed there looking over to Shadow before one of the men picked me up and pushed me over to were Shadow was. I came over to Shadow and was shoved down next to him. It was easier to keep watch over us this way. I looked to the boy next to me and in a low voice I hissed at him. "Why did you back down?" I asked him.

((No no corpses, they do not know the full power. They just know that it destroy all other magic near them. or something like that. Also I failed ))

He dreaded them getting the ropes, if they tied his hands together, then his shoulder wound would badly reopen again, and then if he didn't die of blood loss, he'd probably die of a bad infection, as already the bandages around his shoulder, which weren't protected by clothing, were getting grubby.
A man came over and abruptly pulled his arms back, tightly tying the rope around his hands, his shoulder wound, as he predicted, ripped open with the movement, he almost screamed with the pain, as his shoulder wound had already become more sensitive,and more painful because of the adrenalin rush that masks a lot of pain, wasn't there anymore.
He did gasp slightly, trying not to pass out from the amount of pain he felt.
Blood started painting the bandages red, and when they soon got soaked, blood started to drip from the bandages, down into the dirt. Soon there was a bit of a puddle of blood under his shoulder, some of the men noticed and started talking to the more in command guy, they didn't know what to do to fix it, none of them knew that much sophisticated medicine, they did have someone who was medically skilled, but they were at base camp, treating several people, it was several days at least before they got to basse camp, and the male would probably die by then.
Shadow was zoning out, he couldn't concentrate on what they were saying anymore, he was brought out of his half daze when Raz was thumped down next to him, Shadow blinked in very mild suprise, then he heard her say something, "I was worried a selfish act from me not backing down would hurt others." he told her, though he didn't mention it was also because he thought of her as a friend, and he didn't want his friends to get hurt because of him.
Two of the men came over, one was the guy whom had talked to Shadow before, the one who was in charge sort of stood next to the two, while the other lifted Raz by the back of the shirt to sitting position.
"Can you fix that boy's injury?" asked the man, pointing to Shadow's bleeding shoulder, "If you can, we will release your bonds, and we will let you fix that shoulder of his, but you are not allowed to run off or we kill the boy. We don't want part of our merchandise to die, but we don't want the other part running away. If you run off, he'll be dying anyway, as we wouldn't be able to get him to someone who can fix him up in time before he dies from his injuries, so a quick death is better for him rather than a slow one, so we'd have to put the beast out of his misery if you run off, we'd be being merciful. We'd prefer it to have both merchandise though so if you can heal him, which I assume you can because who else bandaged him up in the first place, it would be nice of you to do so."
Giving a pause to catch his breath for speaking, as he had said a lot without taking much of a breath.
"So can you heal this boy and not run away?" the one that had talked to Shadow before was asking the questions, while the other one just held onto Raz so she remained sitting up.
She probably still thinks I'm the enemy, no way would she do that, sure she'll probably agree, but then she'll run away without doing anything, when your freedom is on the line most people would take freedom over willingly being captured. Shadow thought to himself, he sort of was relieved that they'd kill him quickly, as staying alive for a couple of days would be horrid; while he didn't fear death, he preferred dying quickly over having a slow, agonising death.
He didn't even consider the possibility of Raz fixing him up with some of the stuff they'd taken that they had left in the cave just a bit in front of where they were right now.

(Sounds good)
((And how'd you fail?))

(It's 'phew' . )
(You get nightmares way too easily then!)
((Gosh, I recently watched a couple of horror movies, as well as watching the first episode(only just started coming on tv here) of the show Grimm, (fiction crime show that is inspired by the grimm fairy tales....So it is scary I have to admit, but that makes it fun), while I was home alone by myself, while my mum was out for a few days; I slept soundly. ))

Collecting the herbs needed was tedious work, it took a while to pick a certain amount, let alone find what she needed scattered around, she turned and put multiple large leaves of a herb which had antibacterial properties to prevent or at least lessen risk of infection.
Kasshoku looked to Nalik, "We have enough now, we should head back." she told the girl, before starting to head back the way they had come.

(trying to quicken the herb collecting so you can get involved in the rp again drake when they come back to where Zorath is)

Raz~Female~Vir Requis

I looked to the boy that sat next to me, my eyes scanning the blood soaking into the bandage and I shook my head slightly as I started to shift some to get comfortable when rough hands gripped the back of my shirt pulling me harshly into a sitting position. I looked up at the man who seemed to be in charge and I watched him for a second before he spoke. His words came to me and I had to smile, a wicked evil smile as I watched him. "What out of all the men you have here none knows how to place on a simple bandage?" I said to him in a very mocking tone. That was a wrong move, I knew it but I had to do it. The hand holding me, used his free hand to latch onto my hair, snapping back my head. I bit my lip from letting out a cry of pain, small pool of blood appearing on it as The man was ordered to let again. I looked at the man, with pure hate in my eyes and I smiled. "Fine I will." I said to him as I felt that witch held me be cut. I moved my hands to the front of me. All eyes on me waiting for me to make a move and I just chuckled some before I turned to the stuff that was placed before us. I started to go threw it, swords close enough to me to run me threw if I did one wrong thing. I watched them closely and just shook my head. I pulled out a small knife and instantly I had a sword at my throat. "I need it to cut the bandages away." I hissed at him and it was pulled back some. I rolled my eyes as I looked back to shadows and started to take off the bandage. I looked at the wound and made a small curse as I moved behind him and uncut the bonds. I was yelled at that point and I turned on the person. "The bonds are what making it like that. Tie his hands in front if you must." I growled at him as I turned back and restitched the wound up. After a while It was fixed up and bandaged up and I sat there looking to Shadow. "You just cause to much trouble." I said just to him.

[Midnight Tails]

Growling slightly the man said, "Not all of us are privileged to learn medical skills. We do have people skilled in such areas, but all of us here have never had proper training in healing. Most of us can do crude bandages, but we need our merchandise in as high condition as possible, and I am not stupid, someone had to do those bandages in the first place, and he's not in a good position to fix his own wounds. The way it was done already is much more skilled than any of our skills here, unless a third one of you is around, you're the one that fixed him up in the first place. The less scarring, and the quicker he heals, the higher price he'll have."
By price the man meant how much money they'd make, they weren't going to actually sell good quality merchandise, no, they would make more money keeping them than selling them.
The man kept his anger down, she was just trying to stir them up, there was no reason to react, she was one of those dragon shape-changers, as was he, therefore they both were animals, like dogs, cats, birds, horses; made to be controlled by humans.
If he got angry at her that was like yelling or hitting a dog that was doing something it wasn't allowed to do, animals do not understand violence or yelling, so since they were both animals, neither would understand a human response to their mocking and taunts.
Although, since this sort of animal had learnt human speech somehow, he did give them a tiny bit of respect by talking to them a little bit, they deserved to be talked to a little, since they would've put such hard work into learning the human language, it had to be hard for an animal to learn human speech.
Pleased that the creature understood, and she agreed to heal the boy, he made a motion to the man holding the girl up to cut the bonds that held her.


Meanwhile Shadow had closed his eyes, not caring anymore, well at least one of them would probably get away alive, he was only a liability as he was anyway.
He hadn't been paying attention to the words that went between Raz and the men at all, he already knew the outcome, there was no point wasting energy listening to the conversation.
He felt a gentle pressure, and something cutting the soaked bandages away, almost instantly, the blood flow increased a bit dramatically, blood pouring out of his shoulder wound at twice the rate it was coming out before the bandage had been taken off.
Then something broke the bonds that tied his hands back, as the pressure was released, his arms automatically reflexed to by his side.
Sighing gently with the slow relief as a fair bit of the pain ebbed away, as the pain had been badly increased by the pulling of the wound, as part of the pain disappeared his head cleared, he could think a bit clearer, his thoughts had gone foggy with the pain, but now it wasn't so bad.
Shadow opened his eyes, and he turned his head slightly to see what was happening, his eyes widened in shock at Raz restitching his wound, he wasn't sure if he was hallucinating or not, perhaps he had gone unconscious and this was just some tease of his mind playing tricks on him.
Staying silent till his shoulder had been bandaged back up and sorted out again, he moved so that he was sitting up, which earnt him a sword sitting on his throat, "Can I at least sit up or must I lie in the dirt like a dog?" he snarled in an angry tone, there was some mutterings, before the sword point was slowly removed from threatening him.
Looking to Raz he looked with a curious expression at her, he didn't really know what to say.
"Thank you," he said in a grateful tone, before adding with a bit of a smile, "That trait does seem to run in my family." Shadow was suddenly feeling very tired, he already wasn't feeling too great, and he was very pale from the heavy blood loss that had occured recently, but the sudden feeling of needing to sleep was abnormal, his eyelids started to droop, "Is it just me or do you feel like sleeping?" he asked Raz in a sort of mumbling tone.
The men around them crept closer, his senses alerted him to the danger and he woke up more, but fighting the need to sleep was so difficult, especially since he was already weak.

(I was thinking maybe the leader got one of the stones, and is like trying to convince them they need to sleep or something like that. Like maybe the stones mess with their heads a bit or something. But it's just a suggestion, I'm happy whether they're tied up as they travel and awake or instead they are asleep for the journey. I don't mind either option, it's up to you. I'll edit out him starting to fall asleep if you don't like my suggestion. Just trying to get them to move along with getting to the bandit's camp. )

((Sure that is perfectly fine with me. ))

I sat there looking to him for a second. As he was trying to get up I actually helped him up. He was tired and weak form the amount of blood he had lost and I could tell that. Looking to the boy I kinda felt bad for him. This was part my fault. If he had not fought with me he would not have been injured more and lost more blood. I really do not know why but I felt like it was part my fault and I could not seem to erase that feeling from me. I sat there looking to him wondering how I could get us out of there. There was no way of lifting this guy up and carrying him off, the bandits would catch us to quickly. And there was no hope of him running on his own. So escape right now was out of the question. I sat there thinking for a second, not really paying attention to Shadow as he said Thank you. I was more worried about figuring how to get out of here. Worse come to worse they guys will sell us back to him and I did not want that. I know what will come for me returning to that place. A small shiver ran down my spine as I thought about it before looking around some. When I was looking around that was when I heard Shadow speak.

I looked at him a little worried for him but now that he had said something I too was feeling tired. My eyes started to drop and my body felt heavy. Instantly I knew something was up, I should not be tired. I tried to snap myself away but it was a failing cause. Looking around I notice the men coming closer and I knew they had to be doing something to much us fall asleep. I turned to face Shadow and then turned back to the approaching men. My hand traveled to my waist, were normally a sword was. It was more out of instant then anything. I could not do much before I fell to being laying on the ground. There I fell into a deep sleep.

[Midnight Tails]

(Sorry for not posting sooner....I have had a hectic home life lately...I haven't been able to post my reply to here till now. )

Struggling to stay awake, he saw Raz had fallen asleep next to him, he realised that meant they really were doing something to make them fall asleep, he shook his head, in a feeble attempt to shake the feeling of sleep off.
Eyelids drooping again, he glanced at Raz again, seeing someone else asleep was enough, he reluctantly decided that sleep was a good option. He fell forward suddenly, onto the floor, fast asleep, falling right next to Raz, and luckily didn't fall on top of her.


Seeing that they had both seemingly fallen asleep, two of the men broke away from the rest, and poked Shadow and Raz a bit, to make sure they really were asleep.
Then two others came over, and helped the two already standing next to the two Vir Requis, in carrying Raz and Shadow along, roughly, without much thought, shoving the two carelessly in the back of one of the wagons they possessed, like they were both logs of wood.
This earnt a sharp word from the man who was in charge of this current group of men, and the guys who carried them hung their heads in embarrassment for not treating the merchandise well.
Soon after plundering the cave thoroughly to see what their catch used to own, and putting the majority of what they found in a seperate wagon to the one Shadow and Raz are in, they started to move, the horses and oxen in charge of pulling the wagons were briefly given a taste of a whip, to get them moving.
After a while, the terrain changed, getting harsher, and wetter, and hotter, well more humid at least.
A fog slowly released tendrils along the ground, silently surrounding them, till they realised that there was a thick fog all around them, and that it had crept up unnoticed.
The scenery was now more of a problem, since things that could be seen before, were now invisible. Stones suddenly leering out threatened to trip up the animals pulling the wagons, so much so that several people got off, and started leading the animals by their heads, to lessen the risk of the wagons tipping.
Despite the weather trouble, after a few more hours, which could be told by the way the sky was lighter when the fog cleared a bit when they came to the camp, they arrived at the bandits destination.
A few of the bandits already at the camp came forward and discussed things with the man in charge of this lot of men, and one of them aid "The captain wants to see you, commander." As the man in charge of the group of men that had captured Raz and Shadow, isn't the leader of the entire group, but he is still fairly important, being the third in command.
Meanwhile Shadow and Raz, still asleep, were shoved into a large cage, which unfortunately for the Vir Requis, was made out of a metal that prevented them changing, and was covered in the leaf that burned them, should they try and touch the bars, it would hurt a lot.
This was to stop them from escaping, as they would most likely be waking up soon.

(Do you want to play the bandit leader? )

[Nightra]

((No You can if you want.))

Raz~Female~Vir Requis

Slowly my eye lids seemed to lift as light flowed into them. My now free hands moved up to them rubbing them every so slightly. My head was a fog as my eyes started to clear. Looking to my hands I wondered why they were free, were they not suppose to be tied up? As that thought moved threw my mind, the rest of what should come with it came. With out a second more I was standing up, my eyes lashing out at the camp that seemed to be on every side. Looking around I notice that I was with in a cave, one that was kinda like you see in carnivals with animals being transported back and forth. Looking around I looked down to see shadow still asleep at my feet. I watched the boy for a second as I looked over his bandages to make sure the bleed had really stopped. Looking around I just sat there next to shadow.

((Fail. I kinda want to make Raz immune to that plant. It would be a little funny. You know what I am saying. ))

[Midnight Tails]

(I don't really want to though....How about the leader gives orders and such, but is never seen or anything ((So neither of us have to directly roleplay this leader of the bandits. After that someone else can come along and play the leader of the bandits(as an npc or a permanent or temporary charrie) if they want to later.)) because he/she thinks of them all as mere animals at best, so she/he never bothers to come near them. As things like them aren't even worth looking at, let alone talking to. So just the secound in command and such are around, and they're really just npc's themselves. That would work so we don't have to take up more charries.)

Coming to he groaned very slightly, really he couldn't believe he could sleep at all the amount of pain he was in, but it didn't really matter, he could handle it. As his senses cleared from their haziness he opened his eyes, and temporarily forgot what had happened over the past few days.
Confused and startled he jolted up into sitting position, turning on instinct as he felt something near him he turned at saw Raz, he glared at her with hostility for a few secounds, before he relaxed, recognising her, along with his brain catching up with his body and informing him of the recent events.
He smiled at her, "Sorry, I'm almost always a bit edgy when I wake up, especially in an unknown place." Now properly having his wits about him Shadow gazed out of the cage they were in, taking in everything that he could.
Of course noone was close enough to overhear them, these bandits were suprisingly smart, he doubted they'd be able to get any information for now. The only question is, are we to be sold, handed as a gift over to Dires Irae, used as slaves or be used in some other means? It's more stressful not knowing what's in store. I wish we knew what is going to happen to us.
On first glance it looked like a normal camp, though he decided while it looked all quite solid, they could easily pack up and move, these bandits were used to changing locations.
He could also see this camp was large, at least a thousand men were here in this camp, most likely more.
Seems they've got their families with them. Either that or they're allowing captives to be very free, and very well cared for. he thought to himself, eyeing a few children playing around in some game, and a couple of happy women chatting to each other as they carried what looked like large food trays.
Wishing he could have some of that food, which is delicious by the smell of it, he watched them go till they were out of sight.
Sighing he muttered, "If only that food was for us." Paying attention to the sky, he noted it was now early morning, dawn was just around the corner, the sky very slowly lightening.
Shaking off his contemplation, he looked back to Raz.
"So what's your reasoning for saving me?" he questioned, half expecting to not even get an answer.
After all, she had no reason to answer his question.
Adding to that he said, "Did you hear me thanking you before? Back at the cave, before we mysteriously got knocked out, I thanked you for saving me, but I doubt you heard me at the time."


(Well that's not up to me. You're going to have to either wait for drake to say something or perhaps pm him about it(And I'm pretty sure he'll be currently busy with study). Though I like the sound of the idea. )
(We need more people in this roleplay actively roleplaying....Or this might as well be almost a 1x1 or a 1x1x1. It's meant to be a group roleplay...Nightra I think we should both ask around to see if more people will join.)
