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.

(OOC - you forgot the rather large Umbra rushing at you, and turned your back on him. very dumb move. :lol: )

The light dissapated in front of Zorgn. His spell had worked, but to little avail. His nightvision had been messed up and it would take a moment for him to recover it. Zorgn landed and walked on towards his prey, the man with the light show would have to wait. The guard was more of a problen.

Zorgn saw Vorite leap at the back of the jumping guard. It looked like Vorite was going to impact him before he could hit the rat. If the rat could dodge the lightning, he might be in the clear. Zorgn doubted that the man could do much of anything about it.

(OOC - I can't say Vorite hit you, that'd be power-playing, but unless you pull something unexpected I can't see how you're going to avoid having Vorite stop you from hitting Vernon. If he does hit you, you are the one who must say so...)

((i leave these blunders in posts for others to find, and gauge the observiness of my enemies/allies to see what i can pull off. you apparantley are very observant.)

The umbra had attached itself to Konas back, clawing furiously. The electric tendrils of his aura were scraping at it, but to no avail. Kona ignored it, staying focused on Vernon. ~I need to kill or injure this person, or i may not survive and find myself in balefire or the underoworld, unless the new god of light has mercy over me.~

(sorry for short post, im tired. :( )

Vernon readied himself as Kona rushed towards him. Vernon would have tooken the man as doubtlessly insane if Vernon hadn't left the cloud of poison, though the fool still was giving a back atack to an umbra. Perhaps he didn't know that umbra did well in taking them.

Kona's leap in the air gave him a good amount of time to evade the attack. Vernon threw his shadow dagger at Kona's midsection as he moved out of the way of the attack. Kona would be able to really dodge it given that he was in the air and without wings. While Vernon had evaded the sword, the lighting struck Vernon's tail before hitting the ground. Vernon's fur puffed out, making him look Like a scared cat. That hurt and Vernon would make sure he repaid the favor to Kona, though if the dagger hit Kona, the poison would do the job well. It was capable of killing in 15 minutes if no treatment was made and it would hurt him much worse than the weaken spell had, though that spell would soon be fading. Vernon swiftly pulled off another dagger from his side and readied to join the Umbra, if the umbra would leave room for him to attack safely.

Kona could take the Umbras wieght no longer. Sinking out of the air, and feeling even weaker from losing blood, Kona was pleased that the rat-creature had gotten zapped by the lightning. "Ooof!" he siad as he hit the ground, and the Umbra bit his shoulder and wouldnt let go. Kona saw a shadow dagger fly over his head, and head straight for Zorgn. "Not only are you trying to kill the Son of Light, you would kill your own ally! How ungracefull!" he said, as he finally broke free of the umbras mouth. He grabbed his lightning sword and said "If i also have to be struck as my father was, let it be so! Summon Lightning Strike!" he said, as he slashed at the Umbra in another attempted double-strike.

Vorite roared in anger as he was slashed and shocked at the same time. The force of the blow knocked him off the guard and slid him across the paving stones. He tried to rise, but fell back weakly. The lightning had sealed the wound from the sword, but left the umbra drained of energy. He'll live. The guard will not, however.

Zorgn snatched the dagger out of the air, hilt first. He had planned to draw his other dagger, but since the rat had so nicely loaned him a weapon it would be a shame not to use it.

Zorgn was ready to add another complication to the guard's life. The flames were spreading through the town, but they were doing it too slowly. He had decided a while back to speed the processs up. "Let the fireworks begin! I summon meteors!"

The sky tinted red as small flaming rocks fell from the sky in a hellish parody of rain. They pounded the streets and houses, starting fires where ever fuel met flame. On impacting the street, the meteors smashed into thousands of pieces too small to be noted. As the rocks fell, zorgn advanced on the guard, wary of the rocks above.

(OOC - I know this is dangerous not only to Kona, but to Vernon, Giest, me, and whoever else shows up.)

(as long as you understand the consequences. :) )

Kona stood up, and began trying hi best to dodge the bigger meteors, there was no sense in dodging the smaller ones, they would only bruise. "It seems i cna no longer do anything to help this town, as i have noticed that the other guards are running in fear at some flaming rocks." he siad, as he pointed to the guards running away screaming. "Weak mortals." No l,onger thinking of his own safety, he immediatly started to co-erse the villagers to leave. Some were reluctant, but others gladly obliged. Soon everyone was leaving, although a few were killed, and everone by now was injured. "Oof!" he said, as one rock hit his shoulder. He took of his backpack and put it on his head to sheild it. Seeing that the umbra was in too much pain to fight for now, he turned his attention to Zorgn.

~Maybe if i summon enough lightning, i will encourage a rain storm to douse this fire. i can only hope.~

"Summon lightning!" he shouted, the elctric charge winding around his blade. he made several swipes in the air, continuing as more and more lightning strikes started to hit the pavement, a few headed in Zorgns direction.

Geists eyes widened as he saw monsterous meteors rain from the sky at the flying creatures command. "BULLOCKS! THE FOOL!" cursed Geist under his breath as he stood from his chair and stepepd aside as a meteor crashed into it. 'So much for my night out on the town.'[/i] he thought. Geist didn't have much more time to think as his reflexs responded and leaped back in time as another meteor crashed right where he had been standing. Geists fursturation grew as another meteor crashed feet away from him to his left.

"YOU FOOL! YOU MAY HAVE AS WELL KILLED US ALL!" Geist screamed at the creature. Geist did not have much time to act as he noticed another meteor heading his way, he quickly ducked and rolled forwarded as the meteor crashed where he used to stand. He glared at the smoldering crater behind him before turning to another meteor headed his way. Geist quickly jerked his upper torso back and flipepd his feet over and landed safely away from the meteor only to have anotehr crash right in front of him!

Geist was thrown backwards and through a door of a now flaming two story house. Seconds later a meteor screamed from the heavens and crashed into the cneter of a house that sent a ground shaking explosion throught the village as various bottles of ale and the likes, that had been stored for use that night at the party, exploded with Geist inside the building. All the windows burst out as before the second floor began to collaspe on the first. Luckily Geists body was seen hurling from the doorway in the mass of the explosion and thrown into the center of town.

Geist laid on the ground groaning while slowly pushing himself to his hands and knees as various amount of meteors exploded around him while townspeople ran aroudn screaming like chickens with their heads cut off. Somewhere Geist managed to throw off his cloak and lift himself to his feet. "If it's a fight you want, then so be it, meteors be damned, a fight you shall have!" Geist roared as he unseathed his dual Elven Sabres and quickly crossed them above his head that slit a incoming meteor intwo a split second before it could touch Geists head.

Each half hit near Geist and sent mortor flying but he ignored it and quickly stepped into the circle near teh Guardsman. He looked at the Rat before turning away, his fight was not with him. Geist turn his right Sabre to the flying creature before turning his left to the Umbra. Geist closed his eyes as he focused and seconds later stremas of bright light ran from his hands to the ends of his Sabres and began to take the shapes of small orbs of insanley bright light of the tips. He opened his eyes to reveal their bright blue color to be shining with it's own amount of bright blinding light only blue.

Within Minutes Geist had shaped himself into a figure that looked much like a angel of vegeance, only lacking wings. Tho he was not an angel, it did not matter btu teh power he shared with the moon with was reflecting large amounts of light towards his shining eyes, stenghting his light attacks. It could clearly be shown that his light attacks were growing stronger as the streams of light from his hands to his blades did not stop, and the orbs only grew bigger. What would their first move be, Geist could not predict cause his mind was only on the Moon...

"It is about time you did something" shouted Kona at Giest. Kona got a good look at his face and immediatly knew that Geist wasnt listening but concentrating on his energy source. The light didnt bother Kona at all, it made him feel comfortable. Kona turned around and continued his slashing motion summoning up even more storm clouds and lightning strikes, some headed and striking around Vernon, and others at Zorgn.

By now Konas entire body was aching, and his backpack would soon catch fire or fall to pieces. ~I have to think, or remember something to protect myself before i get kiled. Maybe i can find it in myself to use the Shield of Faith? I can only hope so...~

Kona started concentrated, trying to find the power inside to unleashe the spell he used to use so often in the battles above and below. Still keeping his mind on summoning more lightning, it was hard to do.

Zorgn leapt to the left and dodged a blast of lightning. A meteor nearly landed on him, but once again his speed saved him. Zorgn was begining to feel the strain of dodging all the flaming missles and lightning. His cloak had began to smoke earlier, but all his jumping around seemed to have extinguished it.

"Your pathetic light shows annoy me to no end! Have you no honor? Attempting to blind an enemy so you can kill him. You fight unfairly, so I shall too!" Zorgn pointed his finger at the bright man and uttered the words of his spell. The man suddenly burst into searing flames.

(OOC - it says i can make you on fire geist, so on fire you shall be.)

Things quickly started getting out of hand. Shortly after Zorgn casted his spell he felt several small feet crawling up his legs and swiftly making their way to his backpack. They had probably noticed the flaming meteors and were making their way to him, which was smart despite the fact of Vernon being caught up in a fight. It would be difficult for them to find any other route to safety. There was no cover nearby that would save them from the flaming rocks.

Vernon couldn't continue in the fight and keep his little rats in the middle of all the danger, but still he hated leaving the Vampire to fight off the two foolish good-doers. Perhaps he'd come back after seeing that his rats were safe. He figured he couldn't leave with out first giving a parting gift. Admist the dodging lightning bolts and flaming rocks. Vernon did his best to quickly cast a spell. Upon completion a green cloud swiftly spread out over the area. It was another poison cloud. He knew that it would take more than lack of the abiltiy to breath kill a Vampire, but the other two who seemed to be humans or something close to a human in Kona's case. The poison would make it difficult to breath and would be even more effective than the cloud he had unleashed upon the unsupecting party-goers. Fighting and dodging brought much more need for breathing. With his spell cast Vernon swiftly turned around and swiftly began his exit from Kellen.

(Zorgn that seems like powerplaying man, muttering a few words then casting a spell and it actually hitting me and setting me a flame in the same post by you. :\. What spell is that anyway :huh:. But meh, I'll go with it anyway <_<)

Geist closed his eyes and clenched them tightly as he flet his body become ingulfed by flames. Geist cursed, before crying out in pain and releasing the two orbs of light from his Sabres, and started to flaps his arms around himself in appempt to put the flames out. The orbs themself spun slowly through the air shinning brightly as ever torwards the creature and the umbra. Geist hadn't had time to fully power the spells, but nevertheless they had a blinding aura that would make anyone turn away from them.

Geist soon realized his attempts to put himself out with his arms were in vain and quickly dropped his Elven Sabres as he ran towards the well in the middle of the town. He quickly lept into the air before dropping down into the well, grabbing the bucket on his way down and leaving a trail of fire and flames behind him before a large water sport shot up from the well from Geists impact.

Kona shook his head. "So much for rolling on the ground." he said. turning, he saw Vernon fleeing from Kellen. He smiled. "I will come back for you Vernon! I have a few questions for you!" suddenly it became extremely difficult to breath. The smell was familiar. Kona could feel the poison working at his body, but he was able to resist it. The spell was done in haste apparantly. Turning to zorgn, Kona smiled and charged up another light spell. "If this blast does not kill you, you truly are a powerfull vampire!"

Holding up boh of his hands, swirling beams of light energy concentrated, and then grew larger. Kona released them, and a flood of light surrounded Zorgn, then narrowed like last time and headed not for his eyes, but for his heart.

Zorgn shielded his eyes from the light. It was bright, he'd have to give the man respect for that, but he lost whatever respect he had gained when he shind a narrow beam of light at Zorgn's chest. He did not know how long it would take him to get the message. "Light can't kill me! Stop with the weak spells and fight!" Zorgn used his hand to grab a part of his own shirt that was not shined on. "See the shirt? It's a well-woven one with no gaping holes, see? Not much light goes through it."

Zorgn let go of his shirt and readjusted his grip on the daggers. Holding a dagger and a shirt was akward to say the least. The idiocy of this man seems boundless. He cannot grasp that light does not hurt me. It is annoying to be sure, but I get no pain from it... Zorgn sighed in despair at the quality of the fight and sat down on one of the few remaining chairs. There was no reason to fight one so incredibly thick as this man. Zorgn would just sit back, relax, and burn anything that came near him.

~He must have some sort of lineage to a royal vampire, or he is only a partial vampire. I do not have time to question him, i have to stop him.~

"Very well. It seems your garb is of a higher quality than i had anticipated." kona drew his katana and held it in the oter hand, and ran towards Zorgn. He had anticipated that Zorgn would probably try to catch him on fire, so just in case he had his Shield of Faith spell ready. Kona was finaly getting some of his power back, and the odd thing was, it was out of need and not want. ~perhaps i should put myself in dire situations more often~ he thought to himself.

Zorgn sighed as he saw the idiot rush him. "Will you not learn?" Zorgn pointed at the man and cast his ignite spell. He was greatly surprised when a shield flared up and stopped his attack. Now he begins to show some promise. Not another light show, but a well thought out counter-spell. Time for a change of tactics. Zorgn waited untill the man was nearly upon him, and then promptly blinked away with a low popping sound from the air rushing together.

He smiled as he hid in the shadow of a fallen home. His darkness here would be complete only with the ceasing of these cursed meteors falling. They were too bright with their flames and might easily allow him to be spoted. Zorgn cast his dispell spell on his own meteor shower and watched as the bombardment slowed and ceased. Shadows spread across the square, flickering and giving ground only to the light of the flames. "Can you find me here in the dark?" Zorgn said, and listened as his words echoed through the now silent square. "Do you fear the dark? Do you fear what lurks in the depths of the shadows?"

(OOC - Crummy post, but at least it stops those damn meteors.)

What I'm buying and using to kick your sorry self around.
