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.

Slipping Through the Shadows; [Open]

Zehavya slipped through shadows, the dark was most favored by her, she hated the sunlight, even though, she helped kill those of the dark, most could say. The dark just calmed her, gave her a feeling of hunting someone, or something. She loved to hunt things down. Who didn't? She slipped past a few guards, not wanting to chit-chat, not one of the things she liked to do. She liked action, to hunt, kill demons, thats all. And sides, talking wasn't her best thing, since she was crazy most of the times, but she doesn't really consider herself that, but the way others think her, is different.

She walked into a wide empty town square, though, this one, wasn't in the middle, it was a way off. No one was about, except one or two guards walking around. In the middle, was a fountain, with stone dragons coming from it, wings spread out, in flight. They were beautiful carvings. She always wondered how you could make such beautiful things. They were amazing.

Silently, she walked over to them, and stared into the stone eyes. She cocked her head slightly, but turned away quickly when she heard a rustling, but it turned out to be just a guard, tripping. Zehavya rolled her eyes, and slipped off into the shadows once more, wandering the streets, at the moment, nothing to do, or hunt. The night was calm, stars were out, and the moon was bright, shadows dark. She leaned against a wall of a house, in a different street, were it seemed to be the poorer part of town. There must be some sort of excitement here, maybe.

Kalarn had to come here, no matter how dangerous. It was futile for him to resist its calls. He had barely walked into the squares when a guard attacked him. Kalarn groaned and drew his sword. Kalarn grunted, this was an expert in fencing.

They were a twisting rope, always turning, knotting and unknotting, neither getting an advantage. Sparks flew as metal crashed against metal. Then the guard taclked him. Kalarn flipped him off, harder than he should have.

The guard flew and landed on the statue, marring its beauty. Kalarn gasped and knocked the guard on the head with his hilt. Of course the guard fell limp. Kalarn took the sword. It was a remarkable sabre, it was to be the envy of many.

Kalarn would sell the sword, later, in exchange for a barrel of Demon Ale. He suddenly "felt" the smell of a girl, able, she might be an ally. You never have enough allies in this time. He followed the scent and went to the area he was guessing she last was, when the trail vanished.

Dalin walked slowly in the streets of Taras as he saw the town square. He never visited that part of town. The port city was quite huge, and he was new in town. But Dalin was determined to learn more of the port city. He was planning to stay in Taras, to stay in one place, for the first time in his life. It was necessary to know his new home, wasn't it?
But, Dalin probably shouldn't be traveling in the port city in night. Or in this abandoned section of town. Or at all...
And the few days that Dalin spent in Taras, he learned that it is not the safest place. In his first day in Taras, an undead tried to kill him and some homeless guy. (that dalin tried to steal from, but he was tring to forget of this little detail) If not for the guards - who were in fact quite useless - (the undead managed to escape because a cat and a dog were too much for the guards to handle) Dalin and the homeless were rat food.

The fourth day in Taras wasn't much better...He witnessed a fight bettwen a dragon slayer and a woman, who was a dragon in her human form. The dragon and the dragon slayer fought. The dragon-woman, whatever it is, was quite nice actuley (and slightly insane?) and it saved Daln's life. The reason it needed to be saved was because the lovely dragon slayer's horse kicked him, almost to death.
After a visit in the healing hall he was better, but he had to stay there for a day and a little to recover. And now he was in the streets again...the local inn was a place that he really wanted to spend the night at but it was too expensive for Dalin.
He had almost no money. So far, his stay in Taras was quite bad...
Dalin walked past the town square, and stopped. A beatiful fountain stood in the middle of the empty town square. He stood and admired the statue for a while.
It reminded him of his fourth day. This statue could be a demon in disguise or something. Unlikely, but in Taras...maybe.

And still, there is something nice about Taras... Dalin wasn't sure what it was. But Dalin liked it.
Ironically, Dalin thought those thoughts as he walked pass the unconscious guard that layed behind the fountain. He couldn't see him. It was dark, and the fountain blocked his line of sight to the guard. Dalin choosed to go around the fountain, but not in the path that would make him see the guard. Trouble was close, but poor Dalin didn't know that...
He slowly walked into the dark alley, back to the streets. He could see a dark figure down the alley. It wasn't rare for dubious folks to wander around this part of town. Thieves, murderers, undeads...
Dalin walked much more quietly now. He entered the shadows and attampeted to stealth pass the figure. He wasn't very skilled in that, but skilled enough to go pass some common burglar.
Just that it wasn't a common burglar...

Kalarn was furious. He hhad somehow lost the scent and he never did that. He should have some way to get a scent, the air, the ground, some article cuaght on the shingles of the roof. He wildly looked around, seaarching for some piece of clothing that would lead him onwards.

He walked forwards and a scent bombarded him. The scent of blood. He shook his head, not wanting to become berserk now. Not here. It is too dangerous to go berserk here. Then, anoother scent, it was weak, but it was something.

There was another one too, coming up behind him. Maybe it was a mugger, trying to tke his gold. Or an assassin, working for a gang whose rivals Kalarn had worked for. Well, they won't take me, he thought.

He gripped his blade as the scent grew stronger and closer and swung out, the blade right where the neck would be. Unfortunately, it was not an assassin, mugger, or otherwise. It was a person.

Zehavya did not know someone had been following her scent, she was busy with her own thoughts of different things, as normally. But her head perked up when she thought she heard a clash of metal. Something wasn't right about that, it was like someone was fighting. She looked behind her, but heard nothing else except that short sound. She just leaned against the building, the shadow dark around her. But ever slightly, she heard more people moving about, and soon, not far off, a half-dragon was there, as if angry about losing something, it made her smirk.

She stared at him, but shook her head slightly. He was not of any type of demon, she would not attack, unless he made the first move to. And then, a boy came around who looked like a normal human, so she wouldn't hurt him either. She sighed. She wanted some action, but oh well, she wouldn't harm anyone unless they were creatures of the abyss.

Silently, she walked to the edge of shadow, so she was quite visible. Her long red braided hair hitting her legs. Her purple eyes glancing at Kalarn, and then Dalin. A curiosity flickering.

"Who are you both? Why are you wandering about at night... its not safe." She said, though, she didn't care for their safety, she just knew not many would dare go out, only because of some troubles that could happen, even if it was a nice place, just in this part of town, wasn't the greatest.

Whoever that person was, Dalin didn't manage to sneak pass him. The man swung his sword at Dalin, almost chopping Dalin's head off. Just before the blade hitted, Dalin managed to dodge the strike. He could almost feel the blade - it was very, very close. Whoever that person was, he was good...
Dalin jumped away from the person, landing nerbay, but far enough to draw his dagger and turn around before he will reach him. After all, such an action would take few seconds.

When he was already ready to fight, he heared a voice. "Who are you both? Why are you wandering about at night... its not safe." A woman came out from the shadows. Dalin couldn't see much of her, however. It was quite dark. But there was enough light to see that she is a woman. He looked at the two people that stood infront of him. Who are those people?
Still alerted, still with his dagger in hand, he talked.
"As for me, I am just looking for a place to sleep. Why, what are you doing out here?

Kalarn had seen that the person was not an assassin, and was not a mugger. Kalarn reluntantly sheathed his blade. He raised his nose, an the scent of a girl was stronger. He turned around and saw the girl.

'Who are you both? Why are you wandering about at night... its not safe.', she said. "Well, I will wander where I will!" Kalarn replied sharply. He raised his nose again, and the scent led to her!

No, the scent continued behind her. Kalarn waalked past her and took out his blade once more. He could smell it. He craved its blood. No, he shook his head and said, "Faerie Fire." The spell was directed upon a brick and Kalarn examined the brick, the scent of blood lingering on it.

He turned and started to walk, a silently as he could. But, his claws tapped the stone alley and he grimaced. He would never find the scent this way. The scent was becoming staler with every second that ticked past.

Once again, he was just minding his own business. Why people keep hurting me? this is the third time this week... The man sheathed his sword. For some reason, the battle was over. Why? Maybe it was that girl that just showed up...Dalin was confused.

"Well, I will wander where I will!" Dalin stared at the man, though he was doubting that he was a human. He sniffed the air for some reason...Like a dog...he examined some brick and cast some spell...then he just walked away, sniffing the air...He was looking for something, Dalin knew it for sure. But what? Dalin was angry - that guy almost chopped his head off! but, he was curious. Very curious. He had to find out what that mysterious stranger is doing here.

"HI! You can't just walk away!" Dalin cried after the stranger. While he was wondering, the stranger began leaving the area. He wasn't going to let him...
"Look, maybe where you come from it's fine to swing swords at people and then the walk away, but you are not leaving without telling me why you almost killed me!"

"As for me, I am just looking for a place to sleep. Why, what are you doing out here? Said the human.

Then...

"Well, I will wander where I will!" The half-dragons reply was sharp, and Zehavya smirked.

She turned to the human first, to answer his own question, asking why she was out. To her, it was simple, and for him it would most likely be simple. "I am a Demon-hunter; Zehavya, and I'm out looking for some fun with demons." She answered, and giggled slightly, like it was the funnest thing ever, though, it also seemed a bit insane. She was crazy, she wasn't ever really right in the head.

She then looked at the half-dragon. "Fine, go where you like, it was a mere question." She said, also sharp. Then the half-dragon walked around casting Faerie Fire for some reason, and sniffing the air. She watched, finding it an odd thing for him to do, but oh well, there were a lot of strange people around. He starting walking about, looking for something. But right then, the one who said he was looking for a place to sleep, shouted at the half-dragon.

"HI! You can't just walk away! Look, maybe where you come from it's fine to swing swords at people and then the walk away, but you are not leaving without telling me why you almost killed me!"

Zehavya laughed silently. For a very odd reason, it was funny to her. She had seen what had happen, the half-dragon nearly killed the human, though, she knew that the half-dragon never really meant to do so, but maybe he did, maybe he was thinking the human was a assassin of some sort, the human was sneaking about.

The scent was taunting him. It was unresistable. Yet, he could not find it. It was like an itch in the middle of your back. No matter how had he tried, he could not find it. It was still now, dancing around him in a waltz. Resisting all attempts to catch.

'HI! You can't just walk away! Look, maybe where you come from it's fine to swing swords at people and then the walk away, but you are not leaving without telling me why you almost killed me!' Kalarn turned back a flame in his eyes.

"You question me when you act like a assassin?! Where you are from, it may be fine to sneak around people like that, but not here. Exspecially not in an alley, where so many are murdered without a chance to survive."

Damn! I'm not getting anywhere! I have to find the scent, soon, or the silencers will.

"You question me when you act like a assassin?! Where you are from, it may be fine to sneak around people like that, but not here. Exspecially not in an alley, where so many are murdered without a chance to survive."

Dalin twisted his face in anger. Well, ya, he was sneaking around, and he pretty much knew the answer to his question before he asked it. But he hoped he will hear something about the reason that the man is here...Well, it seemed like he is going to leave now, but Dalin is going to keep him here as long as he could, until he will get an answer.

"Fair enough," Dalin said sharply, "I thought you may be a mugger or something. There are plenty of those around..." leaning back on the wall, a bit more calm, he continued. "More to the point, you said you will wander where you will, with no real reason to why you are here. Now, this is probably none of my business, but it seems like you are looking for something, and..." Dalin smiled a pretty mean smile, "I doubt that it's legal. feel free to try and slash my throat again, but I am going to keep you here until you will tell me while you are here."
Dalin crossed his hand and grinned at the man. Well, it wasn't very nice, but hell, he almost chopped his head off...

Kalarn laughed. It was foolish to even think of doing what this man was proposing to do. No one, ever, in the history of Imythess, had dared contain a dragon. Kalarn cracked several bones in succesion, his neck joints, his knuckles, the sound carrying over the darkness. This man had made the worst mistake possible.
Never try to contain the uncontainable.

Kalarn laughed once more, and raised his hands to form a rough surface, where purple mist conjoined. The mist was magic, and pure magic too. The magic was condensed, into several shapes it turned into, each in succesion. First, a rough cube, then a not-so-perfect sphere, and then a succesion of shapeless masses.

It would be too easy to go. He would cast it, and he would leave. But, the spell might go aray, and blind him as well. By now, the magic was making him dizzy, the influence making him feel light headed. He took apart his hands, and the mist was evaported. He smiled, and jumped over the girl's head.
Nothing can contain a dragon.

Zehavya walked back into the shadows, leaning on the wall once more, watching the half-dragon and human. The human angry at the half-dragon for nearly killing him, and now, the other found it amusing how the hum was going to try and keep the dragon one here until he found out what he wanted. It was a little entertaining for a bit, though, not as entertaining as trying to kill something. Now, if she was a dragon-slayer, she would have been already trying to kill the half-dragon, but seeing how she wasn't, it was boring.

Her hand resting on the greatswords hilt, ready to pull out if she needed, as it seemed she would have to if they started fighting. What was there to fight about? The man wanted answers, but it wasn't his business, even if it nearly got his head chopped off. She laughed softly, it was like children bickering over a toy.

Then, the half-dragon was working some magic. She stood up. She normally considered magic cheating, never one to like it. Then, Kalarn nearly jumped over her, though, she didn't know how, she considered herself tall. She pulled her sword out, just in case.

"Foolish human... stupid dragon..." She mumbled, and glanced into the street, a group of knights going by, and she slid her sword back into its scabbard, not wanting them to come over and question what was going on. "I suggest you all behave, don't want a fight to break out about pointless things." She said, smirking, though, no real reason to.

((OOC: Midnight Dragoon, please try to keep to the order I had tried to work out, I have to keep changing it because of people leaving no room for me to post. Here is how the order will go; Zehavya - Gabara - Midnight Dragoon. That is the order now, its the third time I had to change it. Please, follow it.))

The stranger began casting some sort of a spell. He is going to kill me! Dalin, certain that the spell is deadly somehow, quickly pulled out his dagger, and jumped on the man. But it was too late - the stranger finished the spell, and a purple mist filled the alley. Just before the mist blinded him, he saw the stranger jumping over the woman, and heared her saying something..."I suggest you all behave, don't want a fight to break out about pointless things..." Dalin couldn't see anything now. "Well, that's a bit too late for that, isn't it?!"

Swearing, Dalin looked around wildly. He had no idea where the stranger went. He could be anywhere now...Now, it was not only curiosity that made him want to find out what he was doing here. It was the fact that this guy is going to do something, somewhere, and by the look of it, it wasn't something good.

Dalin was pretty sure that he knows the general direction that the stranger went.
With one hand holding his dagger tightly and the other streched in front of him, he blindly walked after the stranger. "You are not getting away with this!"

Kalarn had learned an intricate move from an old, blind man who had mopped the floor with him, and didn't break a sweat. He lured the enemy into a direction, appear behind them, with wings, this was quite easy. Then, he would preform the fatal coup-de-grace, although, the old man did not use a dangerous weapon, but a bamboo staff. None the less, it still hurt badly.

Kalarn flipped over, twirling like a drill in the air and slowed and hovered behind the man. He drew the blade, quietly, although, there was the smallest noise of a sword exiting wood. Kalarn rose the blade, his wrist preared to shift to do the coup-de-grace with a stab in the mind. But, something caught his eye, a single strand of mist floating around the girl, flitting across an area he would rather not see.

The wisp ignored her and went over to the man, a tendril floating by his face. The wisp moved to Kalarn and curled, moving in a tight curl, growing smalled with each passing second. The smallest bit of mist left touched Kalarn on the nose, and his sword fell onto the ground with a clatter.
