| Welcome to Imythess, the border between dreams and reality. We hope you enjoy your visit. Imythess is a creative writing board where you narrate the story of a character in the medieval land of Imythess, on the planet Chaon. Each topic is an opportunity for your character to interact with the world and its peoples by cooperatively writing pieces of a story with other members, one post at a time. We call this role-playing, because you assume the identity of your character as if it were your own. In order to play, you must register an account for each character you would like to write about, and begin their tale by filling out their basic profile information: Race (human, elf, demon, etc.), class (warrior, mage, etc.), physical appearance, and any other personal details you would like to describe. You are also encouraged to come up with some background history information for what your character's life has been like up to the point at which their story in Imythess begins. There is no approval process or application required to join, so long as you follow the rules then you are free to write whatever character details you choose. Registration is simple, fast, and completely free. Create a character now! If you're already a member, you can log into your account below: |

Aeri had found her way to the famed tavern in Talas. It was busy, as it often was during the evening and there were a couple of other bards and dancers present, while some people listened and others told stories and traded gossip, enjoying the fine drinks available. She sat to the side, not wanting to intrude on the other bards' territory and she began to sing and pluck her harp. Aeri sung of Evereska, the fabled elven city of the land Faerun, her previous home. It was cheery and bright for the evening, a good tavern song. "Come home, come home to Evereska, Where the elves shall sing under yon stars. The road has been long and dusty but all roads lead to home. You have travelled far, you have travelled wide, but all roads lead to home. Evereska, the shining star of the north, may your beauty always stay true! No matter who you are, no matter where your from Evereska is a home for everyone." |

Sephiroth walked into the inn he didn't notice Aeri singing and sat down at one of the tables in a corner. He wasn't interested in killing anyone here as none of them were human's that he could see. Sephiroth was tired he fell asleep in the chair noone seemed to notice him. When he did he had a dream, he was standing alone on top of a cliff when suddenly two demon's appeared out of nowhere. Sephiroth turned to face them and smiled he asked them what they wanted. They said they wanted to kill him. Sephiroth laughed and went to draw his sword but it wasn't their then suddenly the two demons jumped on top of him and all three fell over the side of the cliff. He tried to fly but the two demons where to heavy just before they hit the ground Sephiroth woke up. He walked over to the bar tender and ordered a drink then went back and sat down at the table. |

Aeri also didn't know that her enemy was in the tavern this night. She was tired and still healing from their last encounter. The bandages on her arms (where she had been burned the most) marked that fact. She had held her arms up to take the worst of the flames... She finished the song and leaned back against her seat. The night was going on and sleepiness began to ebb at Aeri, but she decided to play a little more before going to her room. "I'm so tired of being here... Suppressed by all my childish fears. And if you have to leave, I wish that you would just leave Because your presence still lingers here, And it won't leave me alone, These wounds won't seem to heal, This pain is just too real, Theres just too much that time cannot erase. When you'd cry, I'd wipe away all of your tears, When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears, I've held your hand through all of these years, but you still have... ...all of me... (Evanescence.... You gotta love 'em. )The song was quiet and sadder than most of her songs. She had heard it once in Cascadia and learned from the bards how to play it on her lap harp. (I might not be able to reply really fast... Mebbe tonight and tomorrow morning I'll be able to RP but I have some stuff going on in RL that I need to take care of so it'll be hard for me to reply frequently) |

(ooc:thats alright i'm helping a friend work on his rp board so i wouldn't have been able to reply either i probably be helping him most of the time during the day.) As Sephiroth sat their he listened to the peaple around him and after a while he could here Aeri singing but he didn't know it was her he had never heard Aeri sing before so he didn't know what she sounded like. As he listened to her he began to fall asleep again but he slapped himself and walked up to the inkeeper. "I need a room." The inn keeper looked at him suspiciously and Sephiroth was in no mood for his foolishness he grabbed the inn keeper and looked him streight in the eye's "I said I want a room." Sephiroth was extremely tired and the man only aggravated him. The inn keeper began shaking and looked scared he handed Sephiroth a key and showed him to a room Sephiroth walked in and shut the door then laid down on his bed. He could still hear Aeri's singing in his head and it put him to sleep. |

It wasn't long after that Aeri too, headed up stairs. She continued to hum the last song as she passed Sephiroth's door, never knowing he was there and had heard her song. In her room, she placed her harp on the trunk at the end of the bed and placed her dagger from her belt on the bedside table. She was always careful in such a large city, not everyone being friendly passerby... There had been problems with thieves in the past and would not be caught unaware. Night passed slowly and Aeri calmly slept... |

Sephiroth awoke in the middle of the night to the sound of something outside. He got up and looked out his window. Their were two men talking one was the innkeeper the other he recognized but didn't know who he was. He got up and walked outside of his room then looked down both sides of the hall as if he where expecting someone to jump out at him then walked toward the stairs as he did a man whering a mask jumped out and stabbed him in the shoulder with a knife. Sephiroth reached down for his sword but it wasn't their he suddenly realized that he had left it in his room. Sephiroth looked up at the man "You shouldn't have done that." he punched the man as hard as he could in the stomach then hit him in the jaw with his left hand the man fell down the stairs and broke his neck. Sephiroth pulled out the knife and dropped it on the floor than walked back to his room leaving a trail of blood behind him. Once he got their he bandaged his wound and grabbed his sword he wasn't going to be cought without it again. Normally he would have burned down the entire building for what that man did but something stopped him. |

Waking suddenly, Aeri heard the commotion outside. She quickly grabbed her dagger and pressed her ear to the door, listening carefully for signs on what might have happened. All she heard were footseps and she guessed it was a man by the weight of the steps. She peered out her door and down the hall, leaving her room even though she realized that it was probably a mistake to do so. When she saw the dead man at the steps, she froze in horror, although the man was probably a thief. |

Once in his room Sephiroth bandaged the wound and then strapped his sword back onto his side. He figured he should probably search the man to find out who he was. Sephiroth walked back out of his room and down the hall to where he had left the man's body. When he got their he was surprised to see Aeri standing their or at least someone who looked like her. Sephiroth hid in the shadows and watched her, he didn't want to fight but he would if he was forced to. Sephiroth could speak to her in the morning when more peaple where around. He knew she would never risk a fight in a crowd if she did Sephiroth would kill them. He knew it was probably a risk trying to talk to her but he had to know why she was in Talas and how long she would be here otherwise she could ruin his plans for this city. |
