The Ancient Temple (First RP :D)

[Genis Sage]

"Ah! Finally! A roof to sleep under!" said the boy, as he walked towards a building. He had been traveling for a while, and his feet were getting sore, he was tired, and he refused to sleep outside again. This building, which looked like some kind of abandoned temple, was perfect. Well, actually, anything was perfect, as long as it would protect him from the elements.

The boy was very young. He had clear blue eyes, contrasting the silver hair. Not very tall, and fair-skinned, the boy carried a weird toy- a kendama, in his hand.

The night was deep, making everything rich in color under the moonlight. The fields, a silver sea of grass, behind the boy were waving slowly in the wind. Shadows grew from here to there, elongated by the scattered trees of the area. Once in a while, a twig cracked, a rustle was heard. Probably an animal startled by the fact that it was not alone anymore. However, these movements only made the boy more and more agitated.

As he approached the "porch" (or however you can call it) of the building, however, he heard another rustle behind him. He turned around, but there was no one there. The half-elf said aloud "Hello? Anyone there? I have magic, and I'm not afraid to use it!" Genis held his kendama in hand, waiting for anything to come out.

(OCC: Kinda of a crappy start....could have done better. Let us try our best, shall we?)

[outside of the temple, middle of the night]
yaaaaaaaawn.sigh. How did I get stuck with this. I mean if Aqua was so curious about the temple she could have come to check it out herself. said Nocturnus.
Stop wining and hurry up! I realy want to see the temple. said Ignis.
Why are you in such a rush? the temple wont go anywhere,(then murmured) probably. Said Nocturnus.
[Ignis just stood there with her eyes staring intently at her brother.] Are you going to hurry up or do I have to go there by myself? asked Ignis.
fine I'm hurrying I'm hurrying (then murmured) no need to be so pushy.[soon the temple came into view] it seems like a rather small temple don't you think little sister?

I dont care what you think just hurry up! said ignis.
well aren't we a tad bit irritated. Said Nocturnus.

Theres someone at the temple. answered Ignis.
Huh?{Nocturnus}.
I can sense some emotions emanating from up ahead, apparently verry young. from the purity and simplicity of the emotions. explained Ignis.
well that chainges things a little. we better hurry up, forests like these are no places for children. lead the way sister. said Nocturnus.
[Ignis changes to battle form and begins running ahead. Nocturnus releases his burst Zeal and follows her closely. soon they see a young boy with what appears to be some sort of weird toy in his hands.]
He says: Hello? Anione there? I have magic. and I'm not afraid to use it!
[Ignis steps forward eagerly with her tails swain from side to side] what type of magic? she asks.(note: She is still in battle form)
[Nocturnus just watches from the shadows].

(first rp post. give me pointers or tips If I made any mistake. thanks ;D)

-One Hour Earlier-

"I wonder where the gate will leave me no-AAAAAHH!!!!!" Osseron quickly fell to the ground after appearing 2 meters above the ground. Lifting himself up, and mumbling something about 're-calibrating', Osseron though back to what he had seen afew moments before gravity beckoned. He though he had seen a stone building of some sort in the distance, so he decided to walk that way

-Present-
Walking through the grass, Osseron had decided something very important: He so preferred Gear-town and civilization in general. Trekking through this sea of grass had not helped his mood after his drop-off into this realm, and on the way to the temple he had lashed out at any animal that had gotten in his sight. He had even vented his anger on the twigs on the ground, stomping on them with a loud 'crack' and picturing a lesser race's neck under his hee-

Osseron shook his head, ignoring once more the wind-chimes in his head as they tried to make him think about killing and maiming for fun... I'm not evil, especially if the gears had upgraded me to this extent. Osseron thought as he looked at his body, and mainly his cybernetic right arm. at that point he had almost broken through the grass when a voice, apparently aimed at him called out.

"Hello? Anyone there? I have magic, and I'm not afraid to use it!"

Glad to finally hear a voice, and knowing that voice might attack him if he did a wrong move, Osseron slowed down and called back "Thank the Machine-God! I thought that I wouldn't find anyone out here!" Osseron walked into sight then, smiling and holding his hands up and out, showing he wasn't (visibly, the wind-chimes reminded him) armed.

Looking at the person, he was surprised by a few things:

First: It was a boy he was talking to

Second: a giant nine-tailed fox came out a just at the same time he did and said something-or-other.

Third:Boy from item one was holding out a toy of some sort almost like a weapon...and he had said something about "Magic"

Looking from person to fox, he added, a weak "I'm lost here....are there multiple primary's here?" to himself as he put his hands down to his sides. Looking over both the boy and the fox he just stood quietly, trying to ignore the wind-chime's gleeful cries of More to kill! More to kill! Whoop!!! as he tried to come up with a logical conclusion to everything in front of him.

[Genis Sage]

Genis was very startled. First, a nine-tailed fox blazing with fire comes out of the shadows, asking what kind of magic he's armed with. Then, a robot-like humanoid thing that said "I'm lost here....are there multiple primary's here?" Genis almost freaked...then again, he's seen worse things during his travels in World Regeneration journey. Anyway, they didn't seem aggressive. So he responded.

"Um...I can use elemental magic...and what do you mean by primary, person?" Genis was actually lost for words, something that almost never happened. But he slowly recovered. Right after, he said "Oh, I forgot! My name is Genis Sage, Elemental Arch-Mage. Pleasure to meetcha!"

However, he did not drop his guard. He placed himself against the wall, as far away from them as possible, just in case something turned sour. He needed space to cast magic, did he not?

[akumaneko]

[In front of the temple]
Just as Ignis came out with her little question, this unnusual individual who seemed to be composed of mostly machinery walked out of a bush.
"O joy" thought Nocturnus to himself "another weirdo. like a little kid who claimed to be able to use magic wasn't enough, now we got a dang cyborg here as well. what the heck is in this temple that would interest Aqua, as well as two such unusual characters?"

Ignis was busy thinking of something completely different."what a weird guy.(the cyborg) his emotions seem to bee in quite the unusual flow. half of them seem to be a mix of anger and Joy that seems to be quite corruptive, probably should attempt to lessen those since they might be troublesome in the future. the other half is mostly curiosity with a slight tinge of superficial anger."
Ignis lights a white flame in front of her and reverts to humanoid form.[white flames effects pacify agretion(this means the wind chimes)]
"hello. My name is Ignis. what is yours?"apparently completely forgetting about the boy in front of her.
Nocturnus remains in the shadows ready to attack anyone who got too close to his sister.

[srgtmaster]

Suddenly finding the wind-chimes silenced (for now) Osseron blinked for few seconds before turning to the ex-fox. Looking at the girl, he guessed she looked about twelve or thirteen. Remembering the question from the girl (also at this point ignoring the boy) he answered quickly.

"Hello, Ignis, I am Osseron. I am a mech-warrior, and what are you?" as he said this, he closed his human eye and looked at the girl across all the frequencies the lens had, the mechanisms rotating the various lens mounted on the outside of the eye. "I can see that you aren't exactly at the same frequencies and amplitude as the rest of this realm..." Leaning forward, Osseron looked over Ignis' shoulder into the grass where the other mysterious watcher was "and either you leave a very long-lasting aftertrail, or there is someone else like you in the grass..."

Suddenly remembering the unusual fire, Osseron pulled out a notepad from his cargo pants and began writing with his index finger, looking at the fire with the lens clicking and moving at a furious pace. Muttering to himself, he asked almost without takeing a breath

"Is this the mysterious 'Magic' to which he was talking about? I wonder if it is the result of the unusual energy types present here? or is-it-some-unusual-level-of-biological-advancement. Maybe-it's-the-result-of-a-symbiote-with-certain-primaries-within this-realm?Iwonderiftheydrawtheenergytopowerthis'Magic'fromtheabient energyorfromthierownorganisms.Howwouldtheybeabletodraw thatpowerfromthemselvesifso?

I must find this out..."

At this point his obsession and curiosity took him over and he leaned closer to the fire, his writing hand nearly blurring with the speed at which he wrote his notes causing his arm to grind with the noise of nearly overexerted mechanisms.

[akumaneko]

[still the same place]
Nocturnus was intrigued by the cyborg who called himself osedo-something He rely dint care much for names. He walked out of the Shadows in his burst mode carrying a shadow scythe just in case.
He was still however staring at the boy who by now was against the wall."My name is Nocturnus, I am her older Brother" he stated nonchalantly.
you say you can use magic, yes? could you be so kind as to demonstrate some of it to me?(obviously to Genis)

Ignis was slightly amused at the extent of Osserons curiosity." this is not magic. it is the manifestation of the emotions of Sentient beings as plasma. I am what most people would call a Spirit."
"I represent plasma. my brother Shadows."she said as she was moving over to a small boulder to sit.
"It is an ability I have had since I came into existence.
"Now you must answer a couple of my questions."
she said with a slight grim on her face as her hair turned from a shining white to a deep purple.
" were are you from and how did you come about to be made of metal? and how could you tell that neither my brother nor I, were from this specific place."

[Genis Sage]

Well, the girl and the...mech-warrior, he said? were distracted enough between each other. This...shadowy person... he gave off a weird feeling. His Mana signature wasn't normal, as was his sister's. Genis wondered what could they be. Some weird mix of Elf and Human that wasn't half-elf? Something more akin to a Summon Spirit? However, his thinking was interrupted.

"My name is Nocturnus, I am her older Brother" he stated nonchalantly.
You say you can use magic, yes? Could you be so kind as to demonstrate some of it to me?" said the man.


"Um, sure, Nocturnus" Genis said. He through of a spell that he could use to demonstrate his skill with the Mana. It suddenly came to mind. He breathed deeply, and said "Here it goes!" Aiming outside of the temple, of course. No need to kill someone. However, Genis tweaked the spell to cause no damage, still look cool, and be able to cast it faster than normal. He focused.

"From the Land of the Living, I call Upon Thee in the Land of the Dead to Unleash Thy Fury of Thunder!" Genis yelled, with a voice of authority and power (he had taken spell-chanting 101, so he knew how to sound kewl and stuffms). A glyph appeared under the boy, glowing purple and mysterious. As he said the words, another glyph appeared in the middle of the prairie, shining and giant. Orbs of light flowed from the glyph, rising to a single point in the sky, where storm clouds gathered. Thunder roared and lightning glowed. The orbs gathered, and a bright light shined for a fraction of a second. The Genis yelled "Indignation!" As he did this, a GIANT lightning bolt fell on the spot under the light, and it's thunder roared across the prairie, silencing even the grasshoppers.

Genis huffed a little, and turned around saying "Whew! That what you get for messing with me!"

(OCC: To see how the spell looks like, watch this video from 0:54 1:00 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubAYSghkF6w or www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dyTa6DOxzI&feature=related Better yet, just watch it all ^^)

[akumaneko]

[same as before still]
Nocturnus was slightly impressed.
he started to clap his hands together lightly." very interesting. so you are capable of manipulating the energy around you and refine them with words huh."
"as I said before My name is Nocturnus. and as my little sister so carelessly said before, I am a spirit."he was saying this as he got closer to the boy. he undid the scythe.
"what brought you to this place? my young friend"
(Ignis is still waiting for a response from Osseron)

[srgtmaster]

Looking at the lightning, and writing down rough sketches of the glyph on the ground as it appeared. Turning to Ignis, Osseron responded again. "Oh! A Spirit? that's intresting. I am from a realm called Geartown, wonderful place, non of that" motioning to the grass "and all industry! I wasn't originally from there used to be like the 'mage' over there, but the Ancient Gears picked me up when I was young and made me into what I am today!"

Smiling, Osseron looked back to the girl. As to how I found you out, it's one of the gifts that the Ancient Gears gave me. My eye, the metallic one that is, can shift from the kind of light that we normally use to see and look into various diffrent types of lights. One of these levels..." Pausing to try to think of a lay-man's termonology for trans-demensional phase shifting, he continued. "Is unique to each realm that exists, and I can use the diffrent strength and speed of the vibrations of the stuff that makes everything up to tell what is from this realm from what doesn't quite belong here...Like how you can tell that red is red and blue is blue..get it?"

Smiling, he pointed his ring finger and activated his light, making a weak flashlight in the gloom. "I think it might be best to move in...I really need to rest, although the mechanical parts don't need it, I still need sleep!"

[Genis Sage]

Genis heard the mech-warrior, I think his name was Osseron, say the word sleep. He smiled and said "Thank Martel! Sleep! Nocturnus, I have been traveling for quite a while, and I came here to sleep. I just wanted a roof over my head. However, it IS true it is rare to find a building in the middle of the plains like this."

Then he turned to the other two members of the group, and said "Well, Ignis and Osseron, was it? I'm going to go inside and explore, hopefully find a place to sleep. Are you coming?" Genis motioned them with his hand to come and help him open the door, which was, to say the least, huge.

[akumaneko]

[still outside........sigh]
Ignis, her curiosity sated, said"sure(to Osseron) I was getting bored of staying out here anyway." she leaps of the boulder her long hair shifting from purple to a blazing red. she walks over to Nocturnus grabs his arm and drags him off. ahead of the boy as if she dint even see him.
" Hey I can walk alone."

"I don't care. im getting bored of being outside. and you can talk to your little friend inside"
and thus Ignis drags Nocturnus inside. Her white flame following her dimming a little as her emotions shifted a bit.

[srgtmaster]

Osseron turned around, and followed closly on the heels of the duo as the walked in, looking the boy over as he went by. Keeping his light pointed firmly at the area of floor ahead of him, he lit the crumbling walls with a weak light.

[Genis Sage]

Wow. It's dark in here. Genis could tell the room was big, but it was pitch black, except in the areas where the Ignis girl walked or where Osseron shone the light. In a building big like this, things could hide in the darkness. Better to know what's around you, right?

"Hey guys, I can't really see. If you don't mind, I'm going to make some light." Genis said to the group in front of him. He focused slightly, as this was a weak, not very offensive (unless it's used correctly) spell.

"I call upon the power of the Holy Grail! Shine, Prism Sword!" said Genis in his chanting voice. Suddenly, an orb appeared near the ceiling, and many crystals which radiated a bright light came out from them orb. They landed on the ground along the room, some even floated. The room suddenly grew light. Not TOO bright, just enough too see. Genis opened his eyes, and almost gasped at what he saw.

The room was bigger than huge. It was titanic, enormous, HUGE. It was ornately decorated, with statues and trapesies and paintings. It was corridor shaped, and it led to a statue. A giant statue, to be precise. It was a statue of a man, dressed like a god. He stood there with authority, but also with strain. As if he was holding something inside. However, this wasn't what had surprised Genis. The fact that surprised him was that the room was coated in blood. Blood and skeletons were main in the landscape. Clearly warriors, mages, priests, archers, everything that could fight was in there. As if someone brought an army (which would probably fit in the room) to fight something. However, there was one spot where the blood had not fallen. It was a another paining, but huge, with obvious words. Behind the words, pictures of war and fighting were seen. However, they were not a common language. They were the Angelic Language of Cruxis, something Genis had luckily learned in the Journey of Regeneration (Bless Kratos and Colette!). Genis read aloud without noticing, still in awe:

"A great evil lays under the temple. It fights against the restraints of the gods, trying to come out, to unleash waste and destruction upon the land. It will burn the land, destroy villages and towns, kill everything in sight but it's own minions. It will cast a dark shadow upon the land. Great sacrifices were made to seal the beast within. It beats and attacks the seals of the gods, which slowly wane and weaken. Great warriors, us of a time before you beg of you: come within the ruins and destroy this evil, for only you can save the world from this great destruction, which so much lives were sacrificed to stop."

Genis suddenly realized that he was talking. He blushed slightly, and mumbled "That's what the words on the painting say..."

However, when Genis finished reciting, as if in cue, a door opened under the statue, with a staircase leading underground. It shone with a crimson color, as torches sprung alight as if they was planned to do so at this time.

[akumaneko]

[within the temple.]
After the mage read those words I couldn't contain my rage."SO THESE GODS EXPECT US TOO CLEAN UP THEIR MESS".
"calm down Nocturnus" said Ignis as her hair returned to being a shimmering white. [increases the power of her white flame]

"sorry about that. I really don't like creatures that call themselves "gods". I've had some, shall we say bad encounters with such creatures."
awkward silence
"Any way. guess that was the reason why we all came together here then." Nocturnus, now calm, was looking at the other two for a response.
