Secrets Long Forgotten RP

Note: RP is very in depth with the story, read the story to understand whats going on. smile

Although they seem dangerous, evil, menacing, sinister, creatures around the world all live in harmony with themselves, and even others either forming alliances with one another, helping each other against foes and other dangers. Through time, many things have changed, drastically, many of the creatures that lived on this world are dying off, few struggle to survive as a much darker power has awoken from a deep sleep after many years, long before the creatures that roam the lands, there is no name for this newly risen evil but it is thought of all the same by everything, an enemy. Before, the creatures didn't become ally with one another altogether, there were smaller alliances between them and through those they fought, however in these changed times they were forced into such a thing, the evil was too great for any single type of creature alone to handle, and they emerged in a combined truce, together they fight the evil, but there are those who willingly joined the evil, forming a dark alliance known as the Wrath, they seek to make a pathway for the darkness to blanket over the world, in doing so, the killing of every creature with a heartbeat. After planning, many heroes rose up from each branch of the alliance, though most of them were unable to fight off the horrid evil, even the Wrath were too much for them.

In a distant land far off across the seas, many of the creatures retreated to this island which is now called New Avalon, protected by the glaciers and barriers of ice they live in harmony, away from the Wrath, even the darkness. In a blood stained message from the mainlands, they sent off their own to aide them in their troubles, and destroy the darkness which seeks to become the eye resting upon all of the lands. Throughout New Avalon, ships and larger creatures able to fly were sent off to the mainland to scout out any troubles and maintain peace throughout the branches, banishing the shadow from this world. Many of the heroes sent to the mainland arrived at the Mountains of Thunder, getting lost along the coast and forced to hike toward the mainland through the harshest conditions. The mountains contain many Wrath camps, scattered among the peaks and bases of each range, and the sinister darkness is an eye over the distance. Most of the heroes arrived safely at the destination point within the mainland and took scout in the largest village, Grizzlemaw, holding most of each creature in safety, from here the heroes start their journey.

Info for heroes: The village of Grizzlemaw is run by Chief Hawkwind and his Mother, Earthmother Hawkwind, who runs the nursery and medicine hut. Farshot, Ravenfeather, Mistrunner and Steelrage are the village guardians who roam the village. All others are villagers and visitors.

Username: Xyvis
Character Name: Sophia Balco
Age: 50, dead since age 30, met Drake when she was 20 and he was 25.
formerly human, now: a harpie.
gender: Female
Alignment: Wrath
Class: Black sorceress
Equipment: Tainted feather dagger. Impressive translucent black garments. Midnight black cloak.
Relations: Former wife of Drake Balco
Appearance: Bird like feet. Completely feathered except for beak, hands, and feet. Impressive sharp talons on fingers and toes. Wings under her arms. The feathers are black. Specifically, she is a raven-harpie.
Story: She met Drake because he was in the employ of her father, Gregor Harlyn. She fell in love with Drake and latter married him with her parent's consent. After ten years of happy marriage, she was stabbed through the chest with a dagger that was made partially from the tainted feather of a great black witch who was also a raven-harpie. This happened while Wrath were pillaging the sea port where she lived with Drake. Drake was off at sea, and when he came back he found that everything had been destroyed. He fought off the remaining Wrath and was the sole survivor of the incident. He mourned his wife's death, but the terrible incantation of the dagger turned the innocent Sophia Harlyn Balco into a wicked demon sorceress raven-harpie. Drake is not aware of the fact that Sophia is alive. He still believes she is under the ruins of the port.

Sophia craned her neck, pointing her beak out towards the sky. She was surrounded by her followers, other harpie under the control of the wrath known only as the black queen. No one ever saw her, no one ever knew where she was. And only her children could hear her. Sophia was her favored child, the purest of angels now turned black as night. A glimmering example of the black queen's corosive wickedness. Sophia squawked and spread her wings. She leapt off the cliff and took flight, followed by her sister and brother harpies. She cawed back, "Brother Lyuude is not back?"
"No sister Sophia!" Cawed a male harpie. Lyuude was the other pure human who had been totally corrupted by the black queen. Now the male harpie 2nd in command. Sophia was the female harpie 2nd in command and absolutely detested Lyuude. She hated him because he was an arrogant male sexist. He treated Sophia like a common hooker, he knew her only as: "That female who doesn't like a smooth guy like me." Though she was duty bound to him because of his status.

"Urrgh, my head. S*it." Drake was in an especially bad mood this morning. He had been drunker than a cross eyed sloth last night and couldn't recall a thing. He knew now that he was in a strange bed in a strange place and his head throbbed and he felt a terrible hangover. He also remembered that today was he and Sophia's wedding anniversary. That only made him more angry, recalling that the love of his life was by now worm food.

Drake's hangover was miraculously beginning to subside. He opened his eyes, he saw above him the gentle caring eyes of a tauren, obviously aged, with faded orange and brown fur (Earthmother Hawkwind). She smiled kindly down at him. She looked up, "I think he's coming around." She said to a nurse. The nurse nodded and left the room, coming back with a smallish tray of meat and bread. She held also a cup of plain water. Drake managed to sit upright in his bed. He was face to face with the aged tauren, her kind expression making it impossible for anyone to adress her with disrespect. Drake took the tray that was offered him by the nurse and turned back to Earthmother, "Pardon me miss, but I'm supposin' you know where we are at? And just how I came to be here?" She looked sincere and replied, "This is Grizzlemaw village. We found you drunk and injured in a neighboring village. There was no medical center there, so we brought you here to be taken care of." Drake understood perfectly well, in the past few years Drake had taken to excessive drinking and was not surprised by her statement. However he was certain that he had last been at the tavern in Harbor Cove. So it was very surprising to have learned that he had wandered all the way out to a neighboring village. And it was true that he had suffered injuries. He concluded it had been the work of wrath forces, as Harbor Cove was a pretty strategic point. And chanced a guess that he had, in his drunkeness, summoned the spirit Wyvern and burned the whole port. Mainly because he had burns as well as cuts and minor scratches. "Thank you for your hospitality ma'am." he said politely to Earthmother as he slowly drew himself from his bed. He looked around, a simple hut was where he had found himself. He was actually perfectly healed, apparently that tauren lady knew a great about medicine. He walked outside and was starstruck by the sight, he had never seen such a village. Species of all kinds walked about, some armed with sheathed swords others armed with baskets of fruits and other market goods. He stumbled around the village amazed at the sight. He wasn't watching where he was going and, while walking backwards, tripped and fell on his back inside the entryway to a hut. He looked up at a fairly youthful wolfen who was blackish in color and had an air of importance about him. He looked up at him, his right eye trained on him. The wolfen looked almost startled but more baffled than anything. A middle aged man dressed entirely different than his sorroundings falling on his back and looking up stupidly was certainly not something that happened every day.

Drake got up and apologized for his rude interruption. The wolfen looked at him like he was stark raving mad. He brushed himself off and almost immediately saw a group of people walking out of the village. He asked around and people told him that they were warriors headed for Furadis. Then on multiple occasions, the person would look queerly at his rapier in its hilt and at the mail armor of dragon scales slightly concealed by his large tattered overcoat. Then they would make a quip about how he should be with them. In fact, one insane old lady with a bent back poked him mercilously with her cane pushing him further and further in the direction the band of warriors was heading. She said in a screechy voice, "A strapping man such as yourself needs to help our village." Drake walked forward in order to avoid this demented old lady. He soon found himself marching behind one of the warriors who had a good sized satchel on his back with a staff poking out threateningly, "Mate, you know what's happenen'?" He asked, addressing the person with the bag.

"Aurak, eh? Call me Drake. And no I wasn't told. I just poked by an old lady. I'm supposin' though I won'tve served good back in the town." Drake was following next to Aurak and the rest of the people.

Sophia landed on a branch of a great tree. She was supposed to meet Lyuude here. Suddenly, a large male harpie fluttered slowly down in a showy manner. "There you are you moronic pig!" Sophia cawed at him. He had a smug air about him as he walked slowly over to Sophia, "Baby, least I'm here right?" He said walking around her. She turned to him and slashed him down the chest, "We're behind schedule. We had to be in Furadis 30 minutes ago. WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU?!" She bawled at him. He looked offended, in a false way, "You're right. But baby, Furadis can wait. It's a dumpy waste now." He crowed softly walking back to where he had first landed. "That may be so, but if she wants us there we must be there." And with that she spread her wings and so did her group and they all took to the skies towards the village.

Sophia arrived with the harpie assault force.

(( Ditzy post because for some reason the post I was going to submit randomly disappeared before I could post it. ))

Sophia landed on the ground and folded her wings. She walked towards Angerfang and stated in an angry tone, " We would have been here earlier, had not the infernal idiot Lyuude been messing around!" Lyuude was chatting with another wrath sentry and was making crude remarks about Sophia's body. The rest of the Harpie assault force stood in perfect rows and columns behind Sophia. The rest of the Harpies usually stayed back at Cor Hydray, the fortress of the Harpies on the peak of a tall mountain. Within the mountain was the forbidden Zaurak keep where the black queen made her nest.


(( I didn't post anything for Drake originally, so yeah... ))

Sophia turned around and nodded. The harpies did as they had been told and. Only Sophia and Lyuude flew hovered above the village of Furadis.

Drake heard a screeching overhead and wondered what that could possibly be. He looked up and saw a bunch of harpies flying towards them. He drew his rapier and said, " It looks like we might'n have a little fight on our hands."
