Day 8 (Late Morning)/Sebastian/100+/With: Pravo and Zliva/Where: The Twilight Realm

Sebastian thought hard about this decision. He could be getting himself wrapped up in a bad deal, but what choice did he have? Stay here and become weaker by the day as he rotted away in prison? Sebastian bowed his head to the two sisters.
Alright... you've got yourselves a deal...

[portal2lbp2]

Zeph, who who was just a few steps away from Shia, examined her surroundings more careful.
What could that curse have specifically been? If this is deadly, we need to figure out a way to sustain it before she gets hurt. Who knows what that could cause.... he thought.
Move, I need another look. Zeph said, starting to walk around Ferondir, until he put his hand on Zeph's chest- keeping him back from Shia.
Whoa! Wait a second.
Is he, protecting her? From me? He thought, awry.
Really? Just let me see, you don't know what you're dealing with.
Zeph calmly brushed away Ferondir's hand, until he was pushed backwards, by a seemingly protective Ferondir.
Zeph extended the duration of a blink, and sighed sharply, attempting to maintain his composure.
Don't. Touch me. He said, irritated. Ferondir knew how much he didn't like that.
You don't want her to get better? Fine. Keep the shield up. It's doing us any good.

Pravo und Zliva: Schadenfreude sisters

They smiled and climbed up onto Sebastian's head, and put their hands on his forehead. Their magic aura radiates around them. Lines began tracing to the back of his head, There the marking of an eye was drawn. This was the most powerful control spell there was. The more you felt it being drawn, the weaker it was. Once the magic stopped, they looked to eachother and hopped off of SebastionSebastian's muzzle, polightly bowing as they stepped back. "Now, our part of the deal. As promised!" They used their magic one more time as the Twili chains began to rattle. The magic on them fading off. Soon they shattered into tiny pieces. Letting the dragon free.

Journeyman Ferondir of Mira ~ The Foot of Death Mountain ~ Day 8, Morning

Ferondir held his ground. He shook his head. And looked down at Shiallia. "I think it was those girls, when they left, the one's who took Shinceon. A spark from their spell hit Shia's eye."
Ferondir used the zora's name, unknowingly respecting him more then he normally would.
He stood there for a moment. "We cant do anything as long as I have the field up."
He swallowed. If he was wrong, and the curse finished it's work, assuming it was fatal, Shia would die.
He raised his hand and rested it on her forehead. "Satis Maxima," he said.
The spell he cast faded, and Shia groaned. At least she was alive.
He reluctantly stood back to let Zeph work, but Shia was already moving.
(When the caster temporarily lost her life, the curse broke.)
He could see the traces of the curse shrinking.
That was good right?
"Shiallia, can you hear me?" he asked. He moved back between them and crouched next to her.

(NOTICE: IF YOU'RE BEHIND IN THE RPG, READ THIS POST.)

(I understand that a few of you people have fallen behind a bit in the RPG, so I'm going to summarize what's happened so far in this post to catch you all up and bring us to the top of Eldin Mountain. Important stuff will happen there so you'll wanna read this and be there for all the action. If you have questions, message me)

Day 8 (Afternoon)/Veneficus/156/Where: Eldin Volcano Crater/With: The Group

Veneficus took heavy breaths as he led the group up Death Mountain. It had been a long and tiring journey, but he knew that it was all about to be worth it. Veneficus took in the surrounding atmosphere in all it's glory. Clouds loomed below them, forests stretched for miles, and the smell of minerals and earth filled the air. He pondered momentarily about how the events of the past few days had led to this moment in time. It was a brief moment of thought, but the sheer amount of depth in his reflection of what led to this caused it to feel longer.

~~
(This is the summary for those of you who are behind btw)
Veneficus had only been adventuring with this group for about 2 days now, but they had been on the adventure itself for a week. Some of them had only known each other for as long as Veneficus did, and some of them had known each other since childhood. Zephyrus had brought the Sword of Wisdom right to Veneficus when he met them at Castle Town after their return from Gregal's Mansion. It seemed like a completely convenient coincidence at the time, but Veneficus was sure now that it was the Goddesses' hands in fulfilling the prophecy.

Despite just meeting him, the group agreed to help him find the remaining two swords, one of which was lost 100 years in the past, and one of which was stolen by his apprentice who was banished to the Twilight Realm. Amazingly, the group successfully traveled to the past to acquire the Sword of Courage that had apparently been stolen by a band of pirates, but only at the cost of Sapphire's sister's life. They returned to the present and, after staying in Castle Town awhile longer, headed for Death Mountain.

Veneficus was always one to procrastinate, and getting distracted was a common excuse for that. On the way to Eldin Volcano, or Death Mountain as it's sometimes called, Veneficus and the group stopped in a small desert town to rest. It seemed insignificant at the time, but they ended up overhearing some nearby Bordix plotting to obtain a Dragon Skull to create a weapon of mass destruction. After getting his group of adventurers back out of bed just as they sat down, they all managed to find the Dragon Skull underground right as one of the Bordix men found it. They managed to stop the Bordix man at the cost of Guzore getting a minor stab wound, but two strange Shiekah sisters showed up seemingly out of nowhere and took Shinceon as a slave in exchange for the Dragon Skull. Veneficus decided to lead the group on to Eldin Volcano the next morning without Shinceon, hoping they'd find him again sometime.

After fighting a Stoner at the base of Eldin Volcano, Veneficus led the group into a cave inside Eldin Volcano that led them to peak. Below them was Pyralto, a mining-based city that extracted various ores and minerals. Ahead of them was a pipe that led to the center of the volcano, where the portal was.

(This is the point where Veneficus' narration of the past ends and we return to the present)
As Veneficus and the group walked through the pipe, he began to explain to them how the portal was opened. He climbed up the ladder, and to his utmost surprise, the portal was...
...already open.

What followed next was a loud and deep roar that echoed through the portal. It shook the pipe that the others were still in, causing some of them to question if everything was alright. Veneficus recognized the roar, despite it being over sixty years since he had last heard it.
Sebastian... he said, feeling chills go down his spine.
Guzore shouted up at Veneficus, who stood completely still, half-way up the ladder.
Veneficus, brother, are you all right? he hollered up at him. Who's Sebastian?
Veneficus snapped out of his trance and looked down at Guzore.
Well... he's the dragon warrior who killed all but one of the others many years ago... the one who was banished to the Twilight Realm. Veneficus said with a serious tone of voice. I fear that he may have realized the portal is open once he sensed my presence near the other side.
Guzore was silent for a moment, but then smiled and pumped his fists together.
Heh, that's no problem! We can take him! Guzore said enthusiastically.
Veneficus chuckled.
Ah, it's always refreshing to witness such a hopeful and optimistic spirit. You remind me of myself as a young adventurer. Veneficus said. His voice made it clear that he was nostalgic about something.
It'd be foolish of me to doubt you. If anyone can defeat him, it's you guys.
The pipe shook once again as the portal began to buzz loudly. Small bits of twilight shot out of it and began materializing into a shape above the pipe, casting a shadow.
Although, I feel that it would be important to mention something about Sebastian the dragon warrior. Veneficus said as the mass of twilight particles grew larger and larger.
Once he took my sword, it had a certain affect on his... well, physical state. Veneficus said nervously.
What's that supposed to mean? Guzore asked.
The black mass of twilight particles in the sky took a final shape and lit up from their usual black state into a dark grey texture with red veins coursing throughout. The creature, about as large as a Castle, turned it's neck so it's glowing red eyes stared straight into the pipe Veneficus and the others were in. It's massive wings, lit up by the red-hot lava, hovered over the volcano crater.
...Yeah, he's kind of a dragon.


...

Following the dragon's entrance, several other creatures materialized out of twilight particles on the mirror...

(Whoops too late.)
(As is obvious this is before Bryce's)

Shiallia - Death Mountain - Everyone

Shia groaned, blinking. "Uh..." He used my whole name? Huh. "Yeah... I'm fine. Just, uh, tired, I guess." Her headache had faded to a dull ache.

(Boom time skip)
(I had to do dishes)

Shia tensed when she heard the dragon's roar. She pulled out her knife. "Wh-what was that?" No one needed to answer. "Oh..." He's really pretty... In a dangerous way, though.

[Shinceon]

Shinceon

He materialised right in front of the group, trident right in front of his chest. He looked at the group, face emotionless or at least unreadable, he was silent as the rest of the group emerged.

Journeyman Ferondir of Mira ~ Death Mountain ~ Day 8, Morning

(Before)
Ferondir held out his hand to help Shiallia up, and the three of them stepped past the rock monster.
The redhead still stood there, clearly fed up. What she had done was impressive.
#FistsOfFury #Yang #OnePunchLass #EffEverything #ICantEven #Enough #DamnSonWherdYouFindThis #RespectHomie
Ferondir nodded his respect to her and they all followed Master Veneficus up onto the mountain.
...
The heat grew, and Ferondir found himself removing first his armour, then his cloak for the first time on this journey.
Now he wore just his tunic and leggings, and stuffed the cloak and leathers into his satchel.

Enter Dragon

#EasiestDungeonEver #LikeABoss #SkipTheFunPart

Ferondir gasped.
The light of the lava reflecting off the scales was magnificent. The perfection of the shining scales matched only by the deep wisdom in the dragon's eyes.
Ferondir fell to his knees. This was the closest thing to a god he'd ever seen.
He bowed to the beast, as no other action seemed appropriate.

Della Collern/13/ColorBlind/Where: Volcano/With: The group

Della was feeling more out of the group then ever before. She stayed mostly towards the back, only listening to conversations rather than taking part in them. She listened to Veneficus speak, still not entirely trusting him. She didn't understand all of the prophecy and the swords. What she understood was that Veneficus was leading them into danger, and it was danger she didn't know if she could defeat. She rolled up her sleeves as they entered the volcano,seeing as it was getting incredibly hot. When Sebastian appeared, she stared in awe for a little while, until fear made her start moving again. She glanced at Ferondir and scowled, finding his actions incredibly inappropriate. Was he bowing to something that was going to kill them? She didn't understand it.

Day 8 (Afternoon)/Veneficus/156/Where: Eldin Volcano Crater/With: The Group

The dragon roared ferociously, causing the pipe the group was standing in to vibrate. He swung his tail towards the pipe that everyone was in and sliced off the top section of where they were, exposing them.
Veneficus... the dragon muttered beneath his breath. It's been over fifty years... since I was banished...
Veneficus drew his staff and swung it around to his front.
And it'll be significantly less than fifty years before I banish you once again!
Sebastian chuckled.
Don't you see what the sword has turned me into, old man...? he announced with a bloodthirsty tone to his voice.. It has turned me into a god...
Veneficus laughed back at Sebastian, despite his ominous shadow looming over.
You always were arrogant about your swordsman skills, Sebastian... Veneficus began to untie the robe around his neck.
What you seem to be forgetting, however, is that the one who taught you every technique you know...
He pulled off his cloak, revealing a battle suit of metal underneath.
Is about to rip you to pieces.

(Made this in a hurry so it's just a sketch >:A)
Below the dragon on the tiny Mirror of Twilight, several other prisoners from the Twilight Realm appeared. One of them, a tall, female fire demon, stepped forward to face the group of adventurers.

Man, it has been a LONG time since I've been outside. She said, stretching her arms. -and a long time since I've had the pleasure of being able to kill someone.
She grinned maliciously at everyone until her gaze met Sapphire's. Her expression suddenly changed to a more pained and hurt one. She seemed to space out for a moment, her disturbed expression remaining. After a moment or two, she snapped out of it and cringed, fighting back her emotions.
Sorry, you... you remind me of someone I used to know... she said as her tone became more serious. After a moment of silence, she looked at the other demons and back at the adventurers.
Alright, guys. Let's take care of these dweebs.
