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.

Fara're let go of Seregon as Kaess came up. "Fine heal the fool," she said. "I don't know why I decided to help out someone who is as stupid as he is weak."

She leaned up against a tree and waited till the healing was over. She did not bother looking at the cylinder. The mage was already doing a good enough job at that. Besides her knowledge of magic was not all that great.

She glared at Kyzarin. "If you had any clue what that mutt was really like you would be shutting your mouth," she snapped. "He is an idiot who has single mindedly been trying to capture me. And I am a fool for agreeing to help him on this wild goose chase!"

She then looked over to where the demon had been. "But I guess I am stuck helping now. There is no way I am going to let something like that run wild in Norwood. Who knows what it will do."

The weretiger was clearly angry. Her long tail swished back and forth in a quick agitated manner. It would likely be a good idea to stay out of strike range until she calmed down.

Nimohtar was getting angry with groups naivety. He then yelled "If you're going to heal the enemy tie him up before you heal him. So that he can't run away when we want to press him for information you fools."
His anger was clearly visible and he preferred Fara're's method of obtaining answers, beating the individual senseless until he talked. He was wondering what answers he could get now that things were settling down with this group and he was wondering what he had walked into. The only person he recognized was Fara're and he may not have been on bad terms with her but, he would not call her a friend. He did not entirely trust her for few reasons that had to do with all their past encounters.

With the talk of the script he knew he would be of no help. He then stated "I'm sorry but I don't follow old script from my race. I only know the current script being used." He thought of looking at the script but decided not to. He knew he was not the most intelligent individual and if need be he was sure they could always take the script somewhere and have it translated for them. Also it seemed that some of the members in this group already started to translate some of the script and there seemed to be progress. All he had to do was wait and see what was going to happen. Unfortunately waiting was not something Nimohtar was good at.

To Kyzarin "Thanks I need the help I have a feeling we will be very tired when we are done. I am just glad this guy heals so fast. " The wounds on Séregon were starting heal, but it would still take a while. He wonders how this much damage was done and the tree he hit wasn't more damaged. "Could someone check that tree this amount of damage doesn't seem right for just hitting a tree?"

He also was listening to Andras as he studied the cylindar.

If someone inspects the tree they may find that it isn't a normal tree. Close inspection makes it seem like it was as tough as iron. So what would have been a small dent for a normal tree was very impresive on this one. Other trees around it are normal, so it seems like Séregon either had bad luck or somehow the creature knew about the tree.

Kaess stared at Nimohtar. "Don't be so hasty to blame things on another, for one he is not the enemy. Two he is too stuborn to go back on his words and he won't run away. Three it is a confusing situation, but I feel he didn't know this force was after him or his goal or whatever. Four we barely even know everyone present. Not the best of circumstances for trust, but I am trusting you for the moment, because we need to. Regardless I also feel that whatever that creature wanted was no good and to stop it we may need the help." Clearly getting frustrated with all the anger at an unconcious person he wasn't been exactly polite any more. "So if you don't mind why don't you think before you speek."

He went back to healing. Séregon stayed out cold.

Kyzarin continued to heal Séregon. He and Kaess were progressing, but it was still taking a while. The tensions in this group definitely seemed to be rising. Fara're and Nimohtar clearly wanted nothing more than to bash the werewolf until either he died or she got whatever answers she was looking for out of him. In his experience, treasure was never a good thing to pursue. Too many people had ended up dead over treasure, including the bandits in this meadow. There was also no telling whether everyone here would survive.

He said, "Looks like it's going to take a bit to heal this guy, and even when we're done, he's probably going to be out for a while. I think our best bet is to let him sleep through the night and get answers out of him tomorrow. We also should use kinder means of getting answers than we were previously. We need to keep him in good shape in case we're attacked again. The extra werewolf could be the difference between victory and defeat. We need to reconcile our differences and work together on this."

Nireza backed off a bit from the cylinder. There was no point in looking at it when another person was looking at it who likely knew better what he was doing. However, she could have sworn that she'd seen a similar object before although she could not place it. Could it be from before my memory was wiped? She decided that she wasn't going to figure it out by just staring at it. However, she now wanted to find out exactly what the cylinder was. It just might hold a key to her past. At any rate, there was no way she was going to leave this group now.

"I agree with the wood-elf and the dragon. Killing or incapacitating the werewolf will get us nowhere. Answers will come in time, but for now there's evil that needs to be dealt with. We need to first eliminate this evil, then we can deal with offenders as is necessary and go after the treasure."

She walked over to the tree which had been struck by the werewolf. There was nothing obviously odd about it on initial inspection, but she looked closer, pulling out her knife and testing the strength of the wood.

Séregon continued to feel pain he could only see a grey haze all around him and he seemed to drift through his own memories. First he was a young child learning his swords skills. He was then running through the forests as teen. Faster and quicker than others in the village he grew up in. He was going to visit a girl he fancied. She was a were-tiger and he didn't care at this point. He remembered something happened in that relationship and he hated cats after that.... what was it. However, he was younger again and learning rules of combat and life that he would follow and his father beating stubbornness into him.

The world then cleared slightly and his younger days faded. He was now meeting Far’re for the first time in the cave, then it shifted to his first meeting with the cat. Other meetings and places flashed past him, but it seemed to keep coming back to Far’re and the cat and the rather odd similarity he hadn’t noticed. He had not control over what he saw and was wondering why he was seeing this.

He felt more pain as he slowly came closer to health and groaned slightly as his wounds continued to be healed.

OOC: Next post by Séregon and time will be advancing to morning.

"Well there is definitely a significant level of magic inside, and I think these are the runes for the elements though don't expect me to tell specifically which ones. Lets see and this one is umm knowledge? no no its secret, I think." Andras carefully set the cylinder back down on the ground and turned to look out over the lake and clear his head of the million jumbled thoughts running through his mind.

Kaess sighed as he finished healing what he could. He was tired and need sleep. "Well thats all I can do for now. lets get some sleep." He watched as Far're moved away, she was probably going to go hunt down that demon or somthing. He then moved over to a tree sat down to sleep. He streched out and folded his wings into a comfortable position and fell a sleep.

His dreams were deep and it seemed to move through his past, but the it moved towards images of a strange man and a demon traped in a circle. The demon was cursing flames and magic burning around inside the circle, it looked like a torrent and it was clear this was no weak demon. The strange man held up a small object and there was a strong light. Then the human looking creature who the group had just fought was now where the demon had been. Then the demon now traped in human form said, "You think this will hold me I will break that seal even if it takes me a thousand years." The man replied. "You will not find your true power ever again you creature of darkness. I may not live as long, but I know where you will never be able to reach it." The scene fades as the man teleports the object away and the magic circle around the demon seems to start breaking, then there was nothing. All people in the clearing would see these images at some part in their dreams. In the morning the elvish rune for knowledge is glowing brightly on the cylindar as every one wakes up.

Séregon felt more thoughts as he drifted in the haze of dreams. He saw different places and times he continued to his most recent memories. He saw the battle and then it moved to when he was slamed into the tree. 'Ow that hurt to go through that again.' After this he saw the image of the demon and the strange caster who sealed it. He moned as he woke up the next day. He awoke to see the cylindar he brought up glowing and saw the rune. He couldn't understand it he didn't know old elvish. He hurt all over, but he could move well enough again. He thanked his fast recovery from being a werewolf for keeping him alive. Probably have to thank others who helped him too.

He then looked around and saw that there were more people than he remembered and Far're was gone. "Eh well the cat is gone, wonder where she went and who are all these people? Probably got caught up in that fight, great more people that will want an explination, well so much for a small group." He shruged his sholders in defeat and wondered what would happen when the others would wake up. He almost whished they would wake up sooner at least then it would be over.

Kyzarin and Kaess had just finished healing Séregon as well as they could. Kyzarin replied to Kaess, "That's a good idea. We should definitely get some sleep so we're ready for whatever happens tomorrow." He found a suitable location and slept soundly. He dreamed that he was blasted backward by a massive fireball and then of a demon being held by a mage, who in the dream had cast the fireball. He woke up when the demon broke through the barrier and went after him. He noticed some of the others waking up nearby. After a few seconds, he noticed that one of the weretigers was missing. He decided that it was probably best that she was not around. He didn't like her style of trying to get answers. He wanted to ask Séregon what was going on, but decided to wait until everyone was awake. He sat up and waited for the others to wake up.

Nireza didn't notice anything unusual about the tree. It had either survived the impact on its own, or its strength was enhanced in a less obvious manner. She decided that it was not worth testing further at this time. Besides, it was late, and the others were getting ready to sleep. She decided that this was a good idea and found herself a place to sleep. She dreamed that she was tracking a demon, and eventually was able to trap it in a magical cage of sorts. She then had trouble maintaining the cage, and it eventually failed, but the demon disappeared instead of attacking her. She then found herself wielding a blade of holy power and fighting for her life against hordes of demons. It seemed certain that she would be overwhelmed when she awakened and realized that it was all a dream. She had to wonder about the blade she had been wielding, however. She had never seen such a blade as far back as she remembered. She then looked around at those around her. Most of the others were either getting up or were up already. She then noticed that not everyone was there. After a moment, she realized that a weretiger was missing. She sat leaning against a tree, looking at the lake and waiting for everyone to wake up.

Kaess woke up and some how missed that Far're was not there including her in the greatings as he woke up. Well he tried to greet her, but didn't rember her name and she wasn't there to yell at him. He saw that the others had seemed to wake up and were getting ready to ask Séregon questions again. He streched a little and remembered the dream. "What a strange dream and that demon was in it as well. The mind is a strange thing."

Séregon said a few things regrading similar dreams which surprised Kaess. He was also surprised by anyothers who mentioned the dream. He listened to all who spoke carefully and then said. "We had simmilar dreams how odd, well let me finish streching here and check on Séregon over here then we can request the much delayed answers he owes us, since he looks like he is doing better." Kaess looked a Séregon with a look showing that he ment every word about getting answers today. After he was finished his morning warmp up he went up to Séregon and inspected his wounds. They seemed to be alright now. "Well you look better, so you feel alright? If you are then get explaining."

Séregon wached as the others woke up shaking his head at Kaess saying good morning to someone who wasn't even there. How did he not notice such obvious things, yet still notice others. Séregon didn't know the answer and felt that he probably didn't want to know. He was surprised by the dream, kaess mentioned. "You mean one with that demon we fought being traped in circle and some sort of sealing put on him. If we saw the same dream it is very odd."

He listend as anyother people mentioned what they had seen. 'How very odd, I suppose I will have to tell everyone now. So much for getting the treasure easy, with a small group.' He thought and shruged his sholders waiting to be given the okay on his health. He noticed the cylindar and was relieved, but he also saw it was glowing. After Kaess said he looked good he spoke.

"I am fine my friend. I think I ow you and mabey one of these others for extra healing, since I don't think I survived that by my self. I wonder what the hell that tree was made of. Oh well regardless, you all probably want an explination of what hapened. Well I will tell you the truth. I was going after an old treasure that has some items I need in it, for a job and for my self. However, this treasure is rummored to contain many different things. One of the rummors was it carried something of great value to a demon, but there were hundreds of similar rummors and I didn't think it was true. I had information that there were two items that would form a map. You can't open one with out the other. They are also suposed to be highly magical and I think that is why this cylindar is glowing. It is one of the map items. I think it might be a defensive system for the treasure too. Given that demon was looking for it I bet that he is the one in the rummor I heard. I am glad for any aid you people gave in driving him off and I am sorry if I can't give more information. " He paused a bit and looked at each of them. "Now if any of you are willing to come with me I intend to continue searching for this treasure, but now I am going, because I don't want that creature to have it. Anyone who is willing to join me follow me to the next clearing. There is one only about five minutes away to the east. I will move out with those willing to come are there."

He then walked off towards the next clearing, having said what he could and moving on to the next task.

"Well I'm involved now so there's no sense in dropping out." Walking to the clearing he begins wracking his brain trying to figure what kind of item this cylinder could be and exactly what the demon could want with it. Unfortunately his instruction in wizardry was somewhat sketchy where demonology was concerned. His thoughts also turned to the countermeasures and protective spells he had heard about for fighting demons. "I wonder if I have any light spells in my spellbook, those would certainly be an asset."
