Great War (An Underworld style RP)

[Sporky111]

Ian wandered through the "village" he found himself in. Several lycans milled around, but most were out hunting. Rubbing his bloodshot eyes, he heaved himself up a nearby tree. He was hungry, a hunger that couldn't be sated simply by filling his stomach. Blood hadn't touched his lips for nearly a month, since the last full moon. His relatively short time with lycan blood had only afforded him limited control of his transformation, and only recently had he started to change at will.

Now, the full moon was approaching, a time he both feared and anticipated. The thrill of the hunt and ecstasy of feasting, and he won't have to deal with this sluggish body. He crouched on a high branch and turned his lupine eyes upon the town. Who will I take this time?

 

[Time Travelling Toaster]

"Yes, we shall be hunting tonight Kaem," Elisha smiles her voice becoming light again, "well you shall, I feel like blending in tonight..." she trails off turning away from the two men.

"I'm away to get ready for leaving, could someone tell me when we are leaving please?" she asks the men.

 

[Zepren]

"I do not know, i'm affraid, brother" Said Li from high above. He was crouched on the side of one of the battlements. He grinned down at his fellow vampires.

 

[Time Travelling Toaster]

Dark clouds block out the suns dying rays, a thunderous crack rolls over the plains.

Elisha's face breaks out in a wide grin, "we are free again, you are free to hunt," she grins at the others, she knew the lycans would be out in force, they were smart enough to know when the vampires would hunt, but they wouldn't attack an innocent town.

She jumps off the battlements landing silently, waiting for the others to land as she dusts herself off.

 

[Jav3lin]

Kaem noticed Elisha´s moves and decided not to improve her, not to out-do the princess herself.

"Let's go gent's!"
He said as he landed gracefully down, but finished with moving his hand down and supporting himself upward into a standing position.
He readied his armor and sheathe from the drop and got ready to start walking.

 

[LockHeart]

Looking at the feather in his hand, Luther watched Eosphoros as she left the cathedral.

"I hope so too, and I look forward to more tales of your past."

Focusing back on the feather, his brow furrowed.

An unforgivable sin? How could one commit such a thing? There was something about her...

Standing up, he placed the black feather in the space behind his jerkin, above his heart, and turned around. Seeing the crucifix-holding priest, Luther bowed his head with respect.

"Bishop Gorie, it is a pleasure."

The old man nodded back, smiling.

"It is good to see you again Luther, I trust this means that your mission was a success?"

Luther smiled.

"Indeed it was, the beast refused to repent and I sent him from this world."

The Bishop smiled wider, clapping the young man on the shoulder.

"Brilliant Luther! Come with me, this is cause for celebration!"

Luther followed the Bishop to his apartments in the cathedral, sitting down as the Gorie uncorked a bottle of French brandy. Accepting a glass, he savoured the rich warming taste and raised his glass.

"To the Lord's work."

Bishop Gorie returned the toast.

"To the Lord's work, may it ever be done."

The pair sat in companiable silence, sipping their drinks. Luther furrowed his brow as he retrieved the black feather, gazing at it before speaking up.

"My friend, have you ever been visited by an angel?"

As the Bishop looked and saw what Luther was holding up, his eyes narrowed.

"I have not, but I know of whom you speak Luther, and I must advise you to stay away. Those who commit unforgivable sins are to be shunned, her most of all. You would do well to heed my advice on this."

Luther nodded.

"Of course I will respect your advice, Father."

However, when the Bishop turned away, he tucked the feather back into his jerkin.

 

[Time Travelling Toaster]

"Kaem...tell the others not to follow me, I feel the urge to feast on humans again," Elisha growls lowly.

She turns to face him, "I shall bide my leave, enjoy your hunt, and take care, the Lycans may be out in force, I have a feeling..."

With her closing statement she bursts away from Kaem, without armour and the unicorns blood sustaining her, Kaem wouldn't be able to catch up if she pushed herself.

After 20 minutes of running at her top speed she slows, the scent from the town growing stronger, why are these urges returning now? she thinks to herself, walking into the centre as if she has appeared from one of the farms surrounding the town, many of the men smiled at her, surprised to see such a blonde girl wandering through.

None of them...smell good, she thinks to herself, trying to return their smiles, then where is that scent coming from? she asks, feeling annoyance build, but the scent returns as she nears the church in the centre.

She grins wildly at the slight irony, pushing the door open.

"Now, where are you?" she asks herself, taking in the appearance of the church, trying to find the source.

 

[LockHeart]

Sipping the last of his brandy, Luther smiled. Ready to ask the Bishop about his next task, he paused feeling uneasy. Setting the glass down, he stood, reaching for his hammer. Bishop Gorie looked alarmed.

"Luther my son, what is it?"

Luther growled, sniffing the air.

"A bloodsucker's stench. How dare it defile this holy place with its foul presence!"

He turned back to the Bishop.

"Father, stay close, do not allow yourself to become separated from me."

The older man nodded before walking to one of the many cabinets in his room. Arming himself with a heavy mace, he turned back to the younger man, noting Luther's raised eyebrow.

"What? How do you think I was able to teach you so much about slaying these beasts?"

Luther chuckled beside himself. The pair journeyed down from the Bishop's apartments, stopping beside the door to the main chamber of the cathedral. He turned to the Bishop.

"Wait here. I shall see if it will agree to leave without violence."

The Bishop nodded and Luther stepped through the door, striding into the main chamber.

"Show yourself, creature."

 

[Time Travelling Toaster]

"Creature? I'm not some animal.." Elisha says, her voice saddened.

"Why are you drawing weapons at me?" she asks her eyes tearing up, "I...I just stumbled here to get out the rain," she squeaks looking down.

It's one of those two, but which one? she asks herself, tears falling from her eyes.

 

[LockHeart]

Spinning, Luther locked his eyes onto the seemingly young woman who was standing near the Cathedral door. Her appearance was striking, almost too much so. Luther snorted.

"Your story would be more believable if it was actually raining outside, and it wasn't the dead of night. Do you think girls as good looking as yourself take nightly strolls on the city streets?"

Luther pointed his hammer at her.

"I know what you are, I can smell it. Wampyr."

He lowered the hammer back down to his side and stepped forward.

"I have no desire to shed blood in the house of the Lord, leave now and we need not come into conflict."

 

[Time Travelling Toaster]

"Did you not here the thunder storm?" Elisha tilts her head asking, she pulls the door open, showing the rain bouncing off the ground, "and my farm was attacked, I think I have earned the right to rest, after making it thus far," she says her voice wavering, shutting the door.

"Would you attack a young girl for the sake of your own religious zealously? Or to get rid of these...Wampyr as you call them?"

Spoiler: To

clarify, the vampires can kill anyone they want as long as the don't enter the church and the rain is just around the town we're in at this point. The lycans, are somewhere or another...

 

[LockHeart]

Luther snorted again.

"I am no zealot, but I am no fool either."

Narrowing his eyes, he looked at the girl.

"Whereabouts was your farm?"

 

[Time Travelling Toaster]

"Far to the south, near the border, I have been fleeing for days," Elisha breaks down again.

"Th...they attacked my family...biting their necks...my, my father sacrificed himself so I could escape, we had tunnels, for storage, I used them to get to the fields and ran, I slept during the day when they were nowhere to be seen, and ran at night, I always felt like they were..." she starts crying wildly, falling to her knees.

Your move... she thinks, still undecided if it's his scent or someone elses./i]

 

[Jav3lin]

Kaem ran towards the stables and mounted a black horse, waiting for him there.

"Ride my brothers! Feast! This night shall be the remembrance of many and few!"

And with those words he rode out onward towards the town.

 

[Quad08]

Marcus followed Kaem mounting a black horse as well

"Where is our destination, my brother?"

He asked as he rode alongside

 

[ae86gamer]

"Well then lets get out of the rain. You've been through a very traumatic incident.", Eosphoros said as she passed the girl and stood in front of Luther. A vampire. I have not encountered one of these beast in a very long time. This should be interesting. Quickly looking over her shoulder at Luther she gave him a reassuring nod.

"Come now. You can stay in my house. Unfortunately the church does not accept wanderers after eight o'clock." Grabbing the girls hand Eosphoros walked towards her homes direction, which was a few miles away.

 

[Gorrister]

Valdori walked the streets of the village, his hunger growing unbearable. The streets were lined with cheap harlots and drunks, but there was no joy in feeding from such filthy representations of human flesh. The purer, the better. That or Lycan blood.

Valdori stopped. His nose perked up as he sniffed in the cold midnight air. His smile widened into a menacing grin as his fangs sprouted downwards, a nightmarish sight.

He smelt something. Something goooooood.

"Virgin" he growled, a cackle escaping from his body as he followed the scent down the alley. His face was twisted into a menacing sneer, his glowing eyes and deadly fangs a homage to Evil itself. He paced down the alley, his footsteps reverberating off the stone walls of the houses surrounding him, quickening his pace.

 

[LockHeart]

Luther was about to interrogate the girl further before Eosphorous entered the cathedral, escorting the bloodsucker away. Seeing her nod, he nodded back and bowed his head.

"Again, you have my thanks."

Watching as the vampire was escorted from the cathedral, Luther exhaled a breath that he had not realised he was holding. Stepping over to the door, he opened it, looking at the Bishop, mace still at the ready.

"And you said not to associate with such beings?"

 

[Time Travelling Toaster]

"You smell...different, your not human, but not like me, or the beasts...what are you then?" Elisha asks, sounding like an amazed child.

"More importantly, why did you take me away?" she asks her voice having a edge on it this time.

Spoiler

-snip-

Uh...the Lycans are not anywhere near the town...so I dunno how you can smell Lycan blood in the church...they are all still in the country at this point...just that one flung me off a bit.

 

[Quad08]

Seeing the town in the distance Marcus grinned.

He was in need of some practice and human blood was always the most delicious
