[RPG] Sebucus Islands - Furanda (Chapter 2 - Closed)

[Redhollowlives999]

It's been brought to my attention that my posts are "too long," so I'll try to ease back on the walls of text.

Do we really have the time to wait for this storm?

Red looked out the mouth of the cave. The cave was off to the side of a downhill slope, so no water came into the cave. However, the water was crashing down and dragging whatever was outside back down the mountain. "That's some crazy flash flood." He groaned. "How can the sky produce this much water in a single area...?"

Amzo went silent as Red gazed on. The rain showed no sign of stopping--if anything it had only progressively gotten stronger.

Red.

"Mhmmmm yes puddin'?" Red uttered sarcastically.

This rain isn't a natural occurrence. We are not alone on this mountain.

DV continued on his path, reaching Buma just as the sun was setting. Despite there being 3 Genesis trees, it didn't bother him. He built up a tolerance of sorts. Only direct contact caused him extreme discomfort. He kinda hoped no one would recognize him, but at the same time he didn't really care. Didn't care about much any more. He wasn't afraid of a fight.

"Are you here for the festival?". The girl working the front desk at the inn said as DV booked a room.

"Umm no, just passing through". He said coldly while fumbling through his pockets for money.

"That's a shame, they're alot of fun. It'll be at the center of town if you change your mind". She said cheerfully.

DV gave a fake smile and a nod before going upstairs to his room. He tried to sleep however a nightmare prevented that.

In the dream he faced off against the woman from the statue. She wasn't made of stone, but appeared as a real person. DV swung wildly with his weapon, swatting away monsters and unidentifiable enemies. He was eventually overwhelmed. The creatures had him pinned to the ground when the woman stood over him.

"You will never escape me!" she screamed and vomited blood on his face before grabbing him.

DV jumped up covered in sweat and his heart was pounding. Fear... a strange sensation he couldn't recall ever feeling. He got out of bed and washed his face. After pacing around the room a bit to dust his shakes off, he looked at the window. Most of the town seemed to be at the center of town. The was a large bon fire and everyone seemed to be having fun.

"Why the the the the the not..." DV muttered. He figured he wasn't going to sleep well anyway

oi!

After a day of walking, had made it to the base of the mountain. However, with the size of the mountain and there being no trail except through the city, K7 knew there was a journey ahead of him

"Agh, wish this itching would stop..."

K7 continues to itch at his arm. The bleeding had stopped just recently, but the itching just keeps going. K7 starts to think to himself whether it was a good idea to do this in the first place... Then he remembered the people he met in the past... And wanted that revenge on them for everything they did. But what were those memories? K7 just couldn't place them for it's been so long, he forgot what happen... Did he have a home? Was that why he went to the mountain...? K7 shrugged the thoughts off and continued up the mountain.

"Time to take that 野菜 tree."

DV approached the party, grabbed a drink and hung out around the outside near the water. He observed everyone. They danced, drank, ate, and generally seemed to have a good time.

"This is what people do for fun?" DV questioned as he downed his 6th drink in five minutes.

The old urges over took him... how easy it would be to massacre this entire town... his train of thought was interrupted when a random woman approached him.

"Howdy stranger.. haven't seen you around here before." The woman was cheery and handed DV another drink.

"Just passing through." DV mumbled as he downed the drink since rehab is for quiters

[K73SK]

K7 climbed half way up the mountain. It seemed to have taken forever

"I should have just considered inventing a freaking balloon to take me to the top of the mountain. Would have had it figured it out by the time I even make it to the top of the mountain."

Then, K7 hears a loud sound... A giant frog decides to jump out in front of him.

"Ah, a King Frog. Think you're going to eat me for lunch today, huh? Better think again, buddy."

K7 extends his arm out and a blade comes out the side of the creature growing in his arm. In one strong slash, K7 cuts the frog right across the throat and kills the beast as it chokes on its own blood

"Really? I was expecting you to at least dodge the hit. Jeez... "

K7 continues his climb.

bleh these short posts are lame they're not getting me anywhere i quit back to long posts

This isn't even good enough ta worry over--I'm literally writing w.e.

"Eh? Come again." Red said with a tired expression.

This storm is not a natural occurrence. I sense the Tree's essence in this rain.

"Well what does that mean for us?" Red said flatly, rubbing his temple as if he suddenly had a headache.

It means that while we were sitting here someone was extracting the tree's life force. Amzo replied in a serious tone.

Red grabbed his gear, pulling his raggy hood over his head. "Fine, let's move. Just make sure I don't drown." He groaned. "FITE ME STORM!"


~ ~ ~

Red held onto a large rock, screaming like a child on a fast moving horse. "THIS WAS A HORRIBLE IDEA!" He said above the howling winds; water now waist deep. "WHY DID YOU LET ME FIGHT THE WEATHER."

Amzo didn't respond. Red groaned and attempted to wade through the rushing current trying to drag him back down the mountain. Just up ahead, he saw a fork in the road. One road, however, was almost completely dry, while the other one gushed water down at him at rapid speeds. "There!" He said, desperately wading through the unstable slippery terrain.

After several minutes of fighting through, he managed to reach the oddly dry patch. He jumped through the water towards the dry uphill area. "What the the the the the?" He asked, looking back. The water practically made a wall from the pace it was moving. "There's not enough water on Gaia to make that happen. That water had to had been moving at a ridiculous rate. I mean, what is actually hap-"

Regardless of those minor details, Amzo interrupted,the one fact remains that the path we need to travel is that way. Amzo said, referring back to the other fork in the path.

"Ta the the the the wit that." Red said, pulling out some wet rope out of his sack. "We're climbing from here." He said, preparing himself for the long climb. "Surprised this didn't get washed away though.... Iunno it's been a weird day."

"So where are you from?"

The girl kept attempting to have small talk with DV. She was a little shorter than him with shoulder length light brown hair. She seemed harmless so he indulged

"I've been around a lot.. a bit of a traveler you might say."

"Even wanderers have home towns." she said as she brought DV another drink

"Uhh Conkram I suppose." DV muttered as he tries to look for a way out of this. "If you'll excuse me, I have to relieve myself. Be back shortly." He stated while walking away mid sentence"

"Nosy こし Miley Cyrus." Maybe he was a bit paranoid being on the run and all. He headed back to his room and hoped to avoid any more human activity. Just before he got back to the inn, he saw two soldiers baring the Conkram royal sigil speaking to some of the guards. He stood behind a near by building, out of sight. He was able to slip pass them and got back inside the Inn before the innkeeper started to talk to him.

"Hope your stroll was pleasant. Would you care to sample out freshly made BBQ chicken?"

"I don't have time for... 野菜 that smells good". DV was able to storm past, but stopped and decided to have some. He figured since he was inside, no one would bother him.

"Excuse me sir, we're from Conkram and we'd like to ask you a few questions." One of the soldiers from who he saw outside shouted at him.

"I'm new, I doubt I'll be of any use." DV said while doing his best to keep his face out of sight.

"We're hunting a man.. we'd like to know if you've seen him or may have any information abut him. Here's his picture.........." The man's face went pale once he saw DV was the man on the wanted poster.

"Hansom fellow." DV smirked. He noticed the was no dead or alive next to the reward.

"We can do this one of two ways sir..." the solider said while the other once gripped his sword,

"Yeah.. two.. You can leave and pretend you saw nothing, or I can kill you both."

Both men drew their swords

"I guess they didn't tell you who I was otherwise they would've sent more than just two of you".

Without a second thought, DV lunged forward with a low kick that snapped one of the men's knee backwards. As he fell to the ground, howling in pain, DV grabbed the other soldiers sword arm, and twisted it back, nearly slicing off his leg. As both men laid there in agony and while other stood in horror, DV calmly told them to "sit tight" while he went up stairs to his room. When he came down, with his bag and shovel, he gave both men's head a good smash with the said shovel, killing them instantly.

DV paused before leaving and threw a sack of gold at the innkeeper.

"Tell anyone about me and I'll come back and burn this whole town down." His tone was cold and brutal. He rushed out before he could attracted attention.

After he covered a fair amount of ground after "borrowing" a horse he began to try to figure out what to do next. He need to get out of Karisto

[Redhollowlives999]

Why didn't we just start a Chapter 3 instead of continuing this....

As Red scaled the side of the mountain, he felt as though the sky was getting redder. He wasn't quite sure what was going on, but it was starting to get creepy.

He reached his hand towards a ledge and brought his body up. To his surprise, there was a four-foot man cackling as a large machine attached to the Genesis Tree spewed water. Red watched the man cackle and snort for a solid minute before he stepped forward. "Hey, you short stuff."

"HUH? WHO ARE YOU?!" The man said, getting into a fighting stance as Red inspected the machine. "Get away from there!"

Red chopped him in the head, "no no, bad, bad." He scolded. "No evil experiments," Red said as he shut the machine off.

R..ed...

"What I'm busy." Red replied, "now as for you, no tampering with the ancient magical tree or you're grounded."

The short man began to bawl his eyes out. "C-curses." He said with a large snot falling out of his nose. "And I would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for--"

..Ake ..p!

"HEY!" Cried the scientist, "I'm talkin'ere!" He said with an entirely different accent.

"Give me a sec Amz--woah wait." Red said in shock. "You can hear Amzo?!"

...'m sorry ab... this.

"What?" Red asked. "Sorry about wh-" He managed to say before a large bolt of lighting from the sky struck him. "AHHHHHH!"

~ ~ ~

Red woke up with a gasp. He was tied up from the neck down to a large wooden beam, looking straight at the ground. He was being carried between two horses "Wha-"

Nice of you to join us. Said the disgruntled Ra-Seru.

"Wha-"

We were ambushed while you were asleep. You were drugged and have been unconscious for the past 2 days. I only just now managed to detoxify you, but you were STILL sleeping even after all that, so I had to forcibly awaken you; I apologie.

"Who-"

Bounty Hunters.


"Whe-"

We just passed the Great Valley and are nearing the West Voz Forest. I don't know where we're going yet.

"Hey," said an unfamiliar voice. "Didja hear something?"

"Check the merchandise." Said another voice.

The horses stopped moving. Red could hear someone making their way around with his unusual senses that are totally canon and not in any way weird. I'm sorry but they took your weapon, you're outnumbered, and you're being loud. I woke you up to inform you of what's happened, but I'm putting you back to sleep to avoid any unnecessary conflict. Now that the drug is gone, you'll be able to wake up on your own.

Red's vision became blurry again as he saw two feet before him. "...still aslee...'re good to go."

He heard Amzo's voice as he began to see black. I'm sorry to ask this of you, but when you wake up again, be prepared for a potential fight. I keep watch for you until then.

[K73SK]

I'm ok with Starting Chapter 3 considering it's been a huge amount of time. I thought the same thing earlier, too. DV sound good to you too?

[deadly virus]

yeah. Was thinking the same thing
