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.

A roar from the darkness shook Zorgn to the bone. Vorite had not even warned him he was there. The nerve of that creature, I- Before Zorgn could finish his thought darkness enveloped him and, unknown to Zorgn, his attacker. Zorgn leapt forward, beating his wings to gain flight and escape the darkness. Must hold on to keg, but so heavy...

Right when Kona was about to strike, suddenly he became blinded. "Ha! I shouldve guessed that one!" he said out loud. "This should not be hard to escape... hmm.." he siad, as he looked around. he couldnt even see his own hands.

~Bineg the Son of Light i suppose i could just... ahh there we go!~ Kona allowed his aura to let fly again, and in a rush of blinding light, beams of light pierced thorugh the darkness, cutting it into smaller pieces. "This is somewhat dificult. Dam that mage!" just then, his burst of emotion made the aura even brighter, cutting the darkness into smaller peices.

Kona started to walk out of the void, and was able to see everyone again. The villagers jaws dropped, some even fainted. "Its a god!" they all exclamed, and began bowinf furiously. ~Of course. As soon as they find out im only half-god, they will get afraid and assume im here to punish them.~

"Rise!" he said, raising his hand. The villagers rose up, still staring at all the light and sparks being thrown off Kona, a few of the bolts of lightning carressing his sword as he held it beside him. "I am no god, merely the Son of a godess. Rever no worship to me."
Then he looked up and saw Zorgn trying to escape with the keg.

"You idiot! did you honestly think that you could fly away with that? Weakling!" said Kona, as he charged up a Light Spell. ~Blinding Beam!~

A charge of light centered at his fingers and eyes, and then he looked directly at Zorgn. "See no more!" he said, and then a flood of light issued forth from his eyes and fingers, then narrowing and heading straight for Zorgns eyes.

Zorgn closed his eyes as the beam blinded him. Not all vampires turned to dust in bright light, and thankfully, Zorgn was one of those vampires. Trying vainly to fly straight with his eyes closed, Zorgn yelled in anger, "Turn that off! Vorite, Sic'em!" Having said thus, Zorgn crashed through the wall of a house in an ungracefull landing.

Out of the shadows slinked Vorite, a fully grown Dark Umbra. Vorite was big for an umbra. He was fully the size of a horse and very mean when his master was attacked. His eyes were hooded in response to the light and his lips were drew back, exposing his huge teeth.

(OOC - read up on vamps... they don't like light, but not all die of it.)

(Magic light probably wouldn't have uv anyways, which is what is deadly to vampires depending on where you look)

Vernon watched as Kona threw out the turkey. Vernon pulled out his crossbow as he saw Kona advance towards Zorgn. The vampire was intending to blow something up which ultimately would bring an end to Vernon's fun, though it would also be fun to watch the town burn and he simply didn't feel like letting the gaurd take out the vampire who wasn't going to bable away the crimes that needed to be undone. Before he could get a clear shot, his target was enveloped in a magical darkness. Vernon sheilded his eyes as Kona pulled out an annoying light show. The guard would pay for that move. Vernon jumped ontop of one of the tables. His foul aura of stench quickly came back gave a rude awaking to even the drunkest men at the party.

The party had already gone to hell, why not do what he could to make it worse. He spread out his arms after casting a spell and a thin greenish fog quickly spread out from him. It did little to hinder sight, but the poison in the fog made it very difficult. "He is a god," vernon heard one woman cry out admist the chaos of people running. "Chow time, my pets," Vernon smiled before a pack of nine rats led by Ritz crawled from his pack pack and down to the table filled with food. He walked slowly towards Kona putting up his crossbow. His sword hissed like a snake ready to strike as Vernon pulled out his poisoned blade. He was pleased to see that the guard was having a lovely confrontation with an umbra. He stopped. He'd just make sure the Umbra won the fight. He knew the creatures were know for sensitive snouts so he'd knew he'd have to do something about his smell. His stench faded again. It would have hindered the umbra more than the guard for sure.

(Dude, I just said Magical light was not harmful to vampires in a special way. It ussually lacks the uv light found in natural light. Also if a vampire is able to stand natural light, magical light would have no special added effect. Isn't it nice to be misunderstood.)

((your right Vernon, it shouldve at least mortally wounded him. Some vampires can stand natural light, but magicall light is beyond all of them, except for the extremely powerfull.))

Kona saw Zorgn scream and crash into the building. "You will feel that for a few days, i garuntee it." Then he saw the Umbra jump out. ~Interesting. Ive been expecting a horse sized Umbra as of late.~ he thought to himself, pulling his katana not in front of him, but behind him. ~The perfect manuver for dealing with Umbras. Curl up into a spring, and when the pounce, unleash your sword, cutting them right in half. works every time. I might have some trouble shrugging it off of me though.~

Then Kona heard some skittering behind him. He look over his shoulder real quick and saw Vernon unleashing his poison cloud, and all the tiny rats coming for him. The smell was bearable, but distracting. ~He wants to finish me off if i win against the Umbra. I wont let that happen. Im more powerfull than these two combined, they cant hope to kill me.~

Vorite began slowly advancing on the guard. He knew not to attack instantly, but to wait until victory was assured. His best bet was to back his opponent into the rat-thing and then attack with it (OOC - it being vernon). Using his telepathic abilities, Vorite began projecting raw fear into the guard's mind. Hopefully fear combined with multipule enemies would slow him when the time came to fight.

- - -

I'm pinned to the floor... AND THE HOUSE IS ON FIRE!!! Zorgn instantly turned cold sober as he recognized this new threat to his life. (OOC - or unlife?) Zorgn threw off a large beam that had pinned him to the floor and stood up. THe keg had leaked as it rolled down a staircase to the bottom floor. The torch had, amazingly, not been put out when he crashed. It had rolled across the floor and into a puddle of beer at the top of the stairs. Even now the flames were racing downstairs to the still mostly filled keg.

Zorgn ran as fast as he could towards the gaping hole in the wall. He flung himself out, forgetting to use his wings, and fell to the pavement below as the keg exploded. A wall fell outward from the blast, spreading the flames to another home.

(OOC - It's not a big explosion, the home contained it, but you get out of a house that has live explosives as quick as possible.)

(you can hear skittering over people screaming and running about? :huh: ) Vernon noticed that the umbra wasn't attacking right away. It infact seemed to move the gaurd back against the tables and to Vernon. The crowd was no longer in the way. They did not want to get in the way tobe inside the toxic cloud and they did not want to do near the umbra. A few dead bodies lay here and there, along with a few trying to fight off the toxin with little avail. Some where trampled in the crazy to get away. The night had turned out fairly well as far as Vernon was concerned, just one last thing needed to do to make it better.

Vernon walked causually along the table towards Kona. "Aww... Ain't that cute. He wants to share. I'm sure he'll change his mind after your dead," Vernon laughed to Kona over the dispersed crowd. "Maybe if you play dead he'll consider playing with you rather than eating you," Vernon snickered as he dropped the drumstick and pulled out one of his daggers.

(you have to remeber i have quite an advantage ove you, being a half celestial all my senses are above that of a normal human.)

The umbra was trying to pry into Konas mind, but Kona kept on resisting it. It was exploring his mind, looking for something he feared to expound apon it, but every time the umbra found a new way inside, Kona would twist and turn on it. Hearing what Vernon said made Kona laugh for some reason. He wasnt sure why.

"Very well." the umbra advanced even more, and immediatly Kona sprung as it stepped closer, slashing fowrad with his sword. "Every time, a sure hit." he said, as he extended his hand backwards at the same time and blasted a flood of light energy at Vernon.

(OOC - that's powerplaying a bit dude... nothing is sure in a battle.)

Vorite leapt to the right, the blade gashing his dark coat and starting a slow well of blood from the wound. Before the blade had even finished it's swing, darkness enveloped them both and Vorite sprang for the man's throat. Nothing but the man's blood would satisfy Vorite. Nobody had defeated him, for defeat is when you die.

(OOC - why did you say i was on fire? i'm not...)

((i know your not on fire, but Kona has assumed you are, since you were in the giant explosion.))

Kona felt the sword make contact with the Umbra as it attempted to dodge his blade. HE felt some warm blood on his face, and then darkness. "I have broken through once, i can do it again!" he said, ducking just in case the Umbra were to leap at him. Concentrating his light energy once again, he let it loose in a massive ball of light, swallowing up the darkness. Now Kona could see the Umbra perfectly, in mid-air. Kona raised his blade again, and struck at the Umbra while dodging the leap.


((im dramatic, but i dont care.))

Geist had been sitting near the Tavern at the time of the explosion. He wasn't sure if the gaurd was either half drunk or half stupid. Full grown Umbras are not a thing to mess with without the proper skills. He shook his head in disbelief from under his cloak's hood as he watched the gaurd break out of the darkness for a second time. Geist never even thought of going for his blades to help the man. He was here for the party after all. Geist took partcilur interest in the rat who had been standing behind the gaurd before the man made his first move against the Umbra.

Geist pulled his mug to his lips and took a long swing without pulling his hood up. He prefered to let it hang over most his face, hiding his facial features which often brought hostility to him. He lowered his mug from his lips while keeping his eyes focused on the action at hand...

(Finer sense would mean that both sounds would be louder :huh: )
Vernon closed is eyes and sheild them with his sword arm as he saw Kona throw back his hand which which quickly began to emit a bright light. The wretched gaurd was going to pay for that one too. There was relief after the light was cut off. Vernon shook his head as his eyes quickly read justed to the lighting.

He held out hit his hand with the dagger and pointed at the mass of darkness which even his natural darkvision could not penitrate. He expected Kona to pull another light show and dispell the globe of darkness. As if on cue Kona did so and Vernon had a clear sight of his target. A bright green ray issued from Vernon's pointed finger and homed in on it's target with alarming speed. The spell was weaken and would give the umbra a big advantage as he would not be able to strike with his normal strength. It wouldn't last long, but it would be enough for the umbra to get in a few hits.

Vorite twisted in mid-leap and batted the sword away almost playfully. He landed on his paws and rushed the man once again. It was really annoying that the man could move fast enough to cast spells, dodge, and swing a sword in the instant it took him to leap at his throat. Few beings could move so fast, and concentrate on casting a spell at the same time. Either this man was very good, or was quickly running out of energy.

- - -

Zorgn rose from the pavingstones with a sigh. He'd blacked out, but he did not know for how long. The flames had not spread to too many houses, so he guessed it was not long. The battle is over... There. Right where I left it, good.

Zorgn drew his dagger in his right hand and readied a Dispell Magic spell in the other. Any light spells would be stopped before they were more than a quick flash. Zorgn shook himself and began flying torward the battle. He ignored the pain all over him as he flew. He didn't have time to bleed, only to kill.

Geist brought his mug to his lips and took a long drink as the watched the events unfolding before his eyes. He brought it away from his mouth and wiped some spilled beer of his lips with the back of his hand as he took in the fact that both the rat, and the winged creature both shared a weakness to Light. Geist looked at the rat creature closer as he unleashed a green beam of energy from his finger. Geist pulled his head up a little to get a better glance at the spell as it homed in on the guard with alarming speed.

"Weaken, no doubt." Geist thought with a smirk. He brought his mug back up to his face and took another swing of it, before lowering it back down. "Hoping to let the Umbra get in a couple swipes at the guard... clever." He noticed the Umbras movements, but paid no mind. Giving something such as a Umbra a least bit of thought could very well have one prying into your mind.

Geist watched the fire with a curious eye as several villagers began to rush at it with pales of water in hope of putting it out. Geist shrugged and turn his attention to the creature with the large wings as he began to take flight again. He noticed blood dripping from the flying creature as he began to summon an orb of magic in his left hand, and with his right he readied his dagger. Geist smirked as he playfully raised his hand and pointed his index finger infront of the creature, holding the finger as he flew.

"I wonder what effect this would have." Geist smirked and his eyes shown brightly temporaly before a bright beam of light shot from his finger and flew towards it's target, which was right infront of the fly vampire. Geist wondered what effect it would have on him. "Cause and effect..." Geist mumbled with a grin...

Kona knew what the umbra was thinking. "Hard to beleive, isnt it? That i have such great endurance? This is what makes me so infamous and famous. I can last almost forever, my energy is nearly limitless. Yes, even i have my ends, but you leading me to them is something i doubt will happen." suddenly, he felt something caress his back. Kona turned immiedatly and saw the green beam, and felt his body fighting against it. It was no use, it overcame him, and he felt weaker, less than normal. "You wretched thing! You have reduced me to the strength of a mere human! You will pay for this dearly!" Before the spell could take full effect, Kona charged at Vernon and unleashed his Lightning Sword, and shouted "Summon lightning strike!" The sky above grew dark, and a beam of lightning started speeding towards Vernon at the same time Kona was in mid-air going for a slash at him, as if the Lightning and Kona were striking as one.


(I have a feeling somebody mentioned me being able to use it since i purhcased it, even though it isnt in my inventory or sumthin. If that isnt so, please disregard that last manuver.)
