| 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: |

Zydus shuffled his feet, slightly awkwardly. "Oh...mhm...." He looked forward again, speaking more slowly. "I've seen the uses of magic...both good and bad. Kind of makes me happy I've never tried any of it myself." He smiled softly at her, before returning his eyes towards the crowd. "All I really need is a well made sword to get what I need one." He smirked to himself again, his arms still folded together as he watched the crowd. Zydus felt a tap on his shoulder, the small, stout bartender from earlier standing there. "Another drink, sir?" Zydus glanced at Alice, then turned to the bartender, shaking his head. |

Alice looked at Zydus for a moment. You might be right, itīs hard to not use magic when you have tried it once. she said to him and sighed. But most people think of magic as something easy, a power that just helps them, but if you ask me magic is more then that. she laughed. Iīstarting to sound like my old master. So your looking for a sword? It should not be to hard to find a good one. The man turned towards Alice when he was done with Zydus. "How about you then young lady?" he asked with a smile, Alice shook her head. No thanks, I donīt need any more to drink she said. The man nodded, then he walked away to speak with some of the other guests. |

Zydus nodded. "I haven't met many magic users, which you might find surprising, in my little 'adventures' so I really can't say how a lot look upon it." He smiled slightly. "I only ever get the idea, from some of the few I have actually met, that they'd rather not discuss their own abilities in it that much." Zydus smirked to himself, thinking back to a time in Taras where he had a rather odd conversation with a pretty dull, and very arrogant Mage once. "Heh. I think my old "master" would say the same thing...Only about a more Knightly subject." Zydus paused for a moment, a few memories of his younger days in Kellen appearing in his head. "Anyway, I think we can compare using swords as to using magic. They can both be used for the same purposes." Zydus raised his eyesbrows at her, before looking ahead again as he normally does. |

Alice laughed. Yes most magicans donīt like to talk about there magic since they donīt want to share what they know to the rest of the world. I can tell you that many magicans are very arrogan and short-minded, trapped inside of there own minds, a great head, but a short mind. she made a pause. I will not be like them, Iīm using my mind to create magic, not some stupid ritual or to read from some book. Correct, one can compare a sword with magic in many ways, both can be used and misused, magic can be dangerous in the wrong hands, as with a sword. But of course a normal sword donīt corrupt the body like som magic does. I meet a necromancer once....he did not look very healty. Alice giggled. That kind of magic is nothing I ever would use....I want to stay normal. |

Zydus smiled to himself, glancing at her as he spoke. "Arrogant is definitely a word I can relate to, from experience." He smirked widely, glancing off again. "I haven't heard of your kind of magic before...that is, creating it with your mind somehow. All I can say is, it sounds a lot tougher than the usual stuff you might find - which you pointed out anyway." He smiled at her, looking down into his hands; wriggling his fingers as he held one of his wrists with his other hand. "Little things like this are the only "corruption" you can get from weidling a weapon...Which, from what you told me, I'd rather choose over the magical effects." He held his hand out for a moment, twisting it slightly before lowering it again. |

Alice nodded. That is true Zydus, you will not change like people using magic will. People often uses magical powers because it is more destructive then a normal weapon, but your making a wise choice not to use magic. To me itīs o late to stop even If I wanted to, thatīs why Iīm using this kind of magic, to protect myself from corruption. she calmly drank out the last of her vine and took a deep breath. But Iīm not very powerful right now, my powers are still weak and I canīt do any fighting with them. Alice looked around the bar, people had started to go home and not many was left, it was more quiet then before and they could hear the sound of the falling rain outside, and the blowing of the wind and of course the thunder. I like it when it rains, itīs comfortable to hear the sound of it when your inside. |

Nina had finished her meal for some time ago and paied for it aswell, and later she was just drinking some juice while discretly listening to the conversation. When Zydus held out his hand, he was close to bump into Nina with it and Nina couldn't help to parry his hand as a reflex. "Oh, please be careful where you are waving your arms." Nina said with a smile to Zydus. She was not angry or irritated by the gesture, but it was a good opertunity to get into the conversation. "I couldn't help hearing what you were talking about... But I find it interesting." Nina said, trying to make her way into the conversation. One of her bigger interests is to become a sword master, so everything that you could learn about swords would be useful. Nina leaned forward to get some eye-contact with Alice, "One question that I have been thinking about is, how do you know that you will not be corupted by using the kind of magic you are experienced in?" Nina asked Alice, since if you knew that, then everyone would avoid the different magics that could corrupt one. |

Zydus glanced at Nina, flexing his fingers after lowering his hand. An unexpectant expression on his face. "Well I apologise anyway." He smiled a little, nodding at her before turning his gaze back to Alice; his eyes quickly flickering to the door after she spoke. "Well, I'm sure you can handle the magic, you seem capable enough - on the rain stuff though, I got to agree, I love that comfy feeling you get from being in places like this during rain storms too." He smirked slightly, shuffling to stand up straighter as Nina came into the conversation. Zydus watched Nina speak to Alice, his two eyebrows raised curiously as she finished. Flickering his eyes to Alice, Zydus smiled, trying to figure out how he would probably answer this if it were him who used the same sort of magic as Alice mentioned. |

Why thanks, itīs very nice of you to say that Alice said to Zydus with a bright smile. She looked a little suprised when Nina began to talk with her, she was not ready for it. The elven woman thought for a moment. "Well I canīt be sure about that, but since my master used the same kind of magic and he became very old and not corrupted I would say that I have a good chance not to be it. Just like him. But one canīt be to sure, my master told me that I had a good mind and would handle it very well." "Who is that girl anyway? Such rude creature." the voice said in her head. Alice shook her head and ignored the voice for now. |

"I see..." Nina mumbled on Alice's reply and sat down again on her chair. She put her left hand on her chin and thought for a moment. The reply didn't really make sense at all, based on what they had been talking about previosly. Then she looked on Zydus with a smile, "There was no need for saying sorry, but thanks anyway!" Nina said with a happy voice. Then she stood up and moved her chair behind Zydus so she could easier talk to them both. "But how about normal weapons? How do you know that you are corrupted or on your way to be corrupted by it?" Nina asked them both with great interest. "Oh, please forgive my rudeness, but I couldn't help ask that question also." Nina swiftly said as a side-comment on her question. |

Zydus gave out a small, slightly puzzled smile. He nodded at Nina, acknowledging her reply to his apology, as well as the question. Even though he wasn't sure why she was so interested in the idea of being corrupted by things. "Corruption from normal weapons? Like swords, you mean?" He glanced at her, trying to figure out if she was maybe some kind of warrior herself or so. Not having much success in finding anything like that out though, mind you. He glanced ahead, looking like he was thinking to himself. "The kind of "corruption", not that that is the right word... from normal weapons is small things; I'm just really showing how they can tire you maybe. Sometime even you might get some kind of mark from too much use. Like when you use a bow. If used for too long, or wrongly, you could probably leave visible marks in your fingers." He smiled, shrugging slightly. "If that makes any sense to you, of course. Can't really compare the negatives of using weapons to that of magic." |

"That is a good example, but like I said before, normal weapons donīt currupt like a magical would, but then again it is different from magic to magic. If you use to much negativ energy your body will start to transform because of that energy, turning you into....something else, not that you will be a frog or anything like that, but your skin could start to roat."Alice calmly said. "the same if you use a magic sword, you can never ben sure if there is something wrong with it and when you do it might be to late. Things like that happenes all the time around the world" Alice smiled, this was starting to be intresting, she had not been talking to people like this in a very long time. "Itīs nothing wrong with asking questions, if you donīt ask you will never know anything, and Iīm happy to share what I know" |

Nina nodded while Zydus explained to her. "Yes, exactly what you said." Nina said with a smile, looking at Zydus. "I am currently trying to become a sword master, byt my knowledge isn't very great. But you will never learn if you don't ask, right?" Nina mentioned. Then she remained silent and listened to what Alice had to say about the matter. "Good that it is no wrong with asking questions, since I have a bad habit in asking too many questions." Nina replied to Alice. |

Zydus smiled softly, listening to them both before nodding at Nina at the end of it. "Ask away." He smirked, glancing at Alice again for a moment; turning to Nina as he spoke. "I kind of asked a lot before you came anyway, so I'd be a hypocrit if I said otherwise, wouldn't I?" He smiled, slowly yawning for a moment as he glanced ahead. "I haven't exactly mastered swords yet...but well, in time I might do the same." He decided to grab a nearby chair, sitting down on it between Alice and Nina; now feeling pleasantly surprised that he even managed to get into this kind of conversation that night. His ideas of what he thought he'd be doing changed drastically. |

Nina giggled to his comment about questions. Then she continued to listen on what he was saying. "I have still alot more to learn when it comes to handle a sword, but with some practise you can get a long way." Nina said with a smile. "Perhaps we should practise together sometime, to learn echother's tips and tricks?" Nina suggested to Zydus. Nina was silent for a moment before she added, "Oh, I almost forgot to introduce myself. I am Nina Tursic." Nina said and bowed her head in honor to the pair. "Maybe I could ask for your names aswell?" Nina asked them. She was very interested in the swordfighter that sat beside her. She couldn't help wonder what kind of style he was using and how good he was with swinging his blade. They seemed to have one thing in common, they both liked swords. |
