[Ardenvaal] The Core

PWNZED BY BREATH ATTACK!

For most of the Sky Elves that make their home here in Ardenvaal, The core is where the liferoot of their people is believed to be. At the center of every Ardenthor is a spirit of a fallen Sky Elf, who's quest is to reach for the sky, and touch with the Sun. With each spirit, A new Ardenthor is birthed, and a new life for A Sky Elf begins as they become one with Nature and start a new cycle of their neverending journey.

They say that the Ardenthor where Ardenvaal started upon is the spirit of the first High Elf who brought his people to this serene and inoccuous place, where nothing could touch them. And here, spreading out onto other Ardenthors, Ardenvaal's Core insures the safety of its people.

But the Core of Ardenvaal was not looking pristine. Ardenvaal seemed to be shrouded in mists and heavy fogs lately, which was not uncommon, but for the dry season, it was unnatural. The Core did not look as healthy as it used to.

To get an idea of what an Ardenthor looks like, imagine cutting down a tree somewhere near its stump. then, hollow out the center of it and fill it with soil. Now, grow some herbs in that soil, and after a while, the tree stump looks looks like its growing a small forest on top. Multiply the size of this stump by a couple of hundred, and duplicate this stump a couple thousand, maybe a million times, and you get the Ardenthor forest.

The Core of each Ardenthor is its second life-cycle, as it grows a massive central tree-like limb that feeds the flora and fauna atop of its wooden plateau. Imagine seeing a bud growing out of the center of a tree-stump. Same idea. This "Core" then brings up nutrients from the nutrient-rich earth and feeds itself along with the other smaller trees and shrubbery that grows upon it. Ultimatley, you get minature forests growing atop a much massive forest of tree stumps.

Here, at Ardenvaal's Core, the magicks of the native Faerie Dragons and the Sky Elves helped shape the woods into a governor's villa that was supposed to signify its oneness with the city as well as its people. But alas, that oneness has started to fade. It's an earthen plaza of stone and wood, where the citizens gather to hear about the new laws of the land each and every week. It's a center of listening to the new "Trade" and the new peoples that pass through this strange and wonderful town, bringing in foreign goods and plagued materials. The Sky Elves were happy by themselves, But Sek'Thelia Oravinea feels that Ardenvaal should reach out to the other cities with open arms and an open mind. And here, another meeting was called.

Sek'Thelia stood at an open window of his villa, and spoke to the hundreds of citizens gathered there that day.

"My fellow peoples! This previous night, an attempt at my life was made! Have I not brought you prosperity? Wealth? Good Health? And yet, one of our own kind made an attempt at my life. I don't feel I'm a bad person! I've tried my hardest to make Ardenvaal as beautiful and wonderful as it is today. And it pains me that I must make an example of its people."

A Scalamb was rolled towards the front of the mob, and then raised with rope for all of the onlookers to see.

"It truly does pain me... This man here was captured outside of the villa, with weapon in hand and a gaze that would've froze a stag in its tracks. For this outrage, this man must be punished."

A silent crowd stood onlooking at the man, as a hushed whisper creeped its way among the people. Sek'Thelia calmed the crowd down, then spoke words.

"Is there one among you today that believes otherwise?"

You can post in Ardenvaal now. :p

Leviticus lead his two new companions towards the tavern, smiling as he presented it.
"Voila! Ready to get hammered? I forget why we came here."

"We came here because we are awaiting a certain individual known as Traveanduri. Sheesh, what a loon!"

The Core was indeed bustling with activity this afternoon. The group made inconspicuous and ended up in the small establishment where they had left earlier. Traveanduri had not arrived yet, so they sat down at the same table from which the group had left earlier.

"Is our guest going to be with us soon," Traulinosth asked, ordering a beer from the waitress. "This place is just too... obvious."

Leviticus turned and whispered with a slight chuckle.
"I'm sure she'll bring her fine ass in here soon, maybe I'll get some love for bringing your annoying old elf butt over here...You think so, eh lil dragon dude?"
He then gestured rudely to a waitress, shouting at the top of his lungs.
"HEY! Get me two mugs of your finest liquor! One mug each for my bestest pals Me and Myself!"

Traulinosth put his head in his hands, embarrased with his new companion.

Leviticus yelped wildly, laughing and then glancing at Traulinosth.
"What're ya, a queer turtle?! Let's get some DRINK!"

Why does he have to be so rambunctious?

"Yes, I'll take one, too, Bartender.

"By the way, I'm not as old as you think, Leviticus."

"SQUEEEEE RAWK SQUEE RAWWWK RAAAAAAAAWWWWWK!!!" Oh, don't be such a sourpuss, Traulinosth!

The little faerie dragon fluttered about Leviticus' head.

"Hahahah!"
Leviticus took a strong gulp and nodded playfully at the faerie dragon.
"You wouldn't seem so old if you didn't act it, Traulman. Now...I wonder where she is already...probably gettin' herself pretty for me. The rascal."

"Must you be so whimsical?" Asked Traulinosth, receiving his liquor and taking a small sip of it. "We are trying to be inconspicuous," he whispered, pulling his white hair from his face.

Suddenly, his ears perked up, as if he had heard something.

"My gods... a Tarantar is near. it doesn't seem to be getting any closer, though."

Leviticus yawned, then chugged his drink.
"Taranwhat? What's that?"

I've got a Ph.D in kicking your ass.

Ryu arrives back at the tavern with his new commrades in tow.
"This is where she asked us to be." he says.

Kaworu's eyes suddenly widened in anger and exertion, putting a good deal of spiritual power and physical strength into himself as he slammed his spear shaft vertically forward against Jeff's locked blade to send him back.

"And you would give your life for such a meaningless task? Delaying me will not halt my goals."

Yes, I fought Kaworu. And I lived.[RPGData:10005|9|28|56|3|3|482|222|Dragon Sword|Dragon Armor|Dwarf|40551|None|None|134|6|1|0|None|NaN|None|The Klu Klux Klan]

Leviticus turned and noticed a vaguely familiar Ryu.
"AYO! You! Come over here and drink with my new gang, you ugly-eyed S.O.B.! HURRAH! I'll buy you all a round!"

Traulinosth looked over, and noticed a familiar face.

"Leon... Nice to see you, and everybody else."

Huareleon looked to Traulinosth. "Ah, as is I. It's been a long time, friend. Do you know what this is about?"

Traulinosth shook his head. "Apparently, Leviticus here, who contacted me, isn't quite sure."

Looking around the bar, apparently, one could tell that the guards had become pre-occupied with the Tarantar so close to the Core. The tavern was completely abandoned of Sek'Thelia's Guard.

Huareleon looked around again, and sat at the table with Leviticus and Traulinosth. Yuri also sat at their table, while the other members of the Resistance sat at another one near-by. "Well, I know that Traveanduri is serious for whatever reasons she has. Do you know what this is about?"

"No, our drunkard kin here is not to keen on the situation, except that it sounds like somebody is in trouble." Traulinosth wiped his hand across his face, and looked to the other newcomer, Ryu. "You, outsider, what is your name? And maybe you can shed some light on the situation?"

"My name is a mystery until we make contact with Traveanduri. I came into an odd world in the middle of Civil War, and know not who I can trust yet. Until then, you may address me as Long Fang." Ryu gazed around the tavern, looking for anything odd.

Leviticus let out a yelp, slapping Long Fang heartily on the back.
"AY! This one here's a queer sort, methinks! You're better off not knowing his real name...It's probably like, 'Spraynard' or something dorky."
He eyed the newcomers Ryu had brought with him and let out a snort.
"OY! Who be you fellows? Like my nipple rings?"

Ryu raised an eyebrow at the rantings of Leviticus. "You already know my name."
