Alicia figured that she should take Malikai to Vanatiel. He knew about pain, he knew about darkness, he was a necromancer, for good's sake. If Mali couldn't get over the issue that his power was fueled by anger, his faults will cause destruction and chaos.

It was on the moonlit night that she decided to visit Vantie's camp, a few yards away from the rest of the group's camp. Typical of him, She thought to herself. She herself was camping by Dac Vin and Sanjinu. Malikai usually loved to play with them both, but he was scared of Vantie. Whether it was from Vantie's malicious smile, his snake eyes, or his empty stare, she would never know.

She stood up, careful to tread around the fire's blazes, walking to Dac Vin's camp. She knew she would find Malikai there. But to her surprise, he found Mali asleep on Dac Vin.

She gasped, her air withdrawing in a sharp gust.

"He treats Dac as if he were his father..."

She stood staring at the two for a while. They looked as if they were father and son. Their features, their appearance... Alicia was startled by this discovery. But she could wait no longer.

She walked over to Dac Vin and shook him.

"Eh?" Dac mumbled, still foggy from fatigue.

"Wake up Dac...I have to take Mali" Alicia whispered softly.

"Oi, already? Can't he spend the night with uncle Dac? What's the rush?"

Alicia looked at Dac Vin meaningfully. She didn't have to say anything. All the men in the camp knew "Alicia's Gaze". When she used it on one of them, they knew she meant business.

Dac slowly sat up. He put his arms around Mali.

"Ey little fella, Mum needs you right now."

"But I dont want to go, uncle Dac." the voice replied.

"None of that nonsense now, be gone."

Mali stood up, and slowly walked over to Alicia.

"Where are we going Mummy?" he asked sleepily.

Alicia looked down at him. And gave him a hug.

"To see Uncle Vantie, Mali...to see Uncle Vantie."

Alicia was worried. She didn't know how Vantie would believe her, and how he would react. She cared for Vanatiel a lot, but she knew that he wasn't Mali's favorite Uncle.

But Alicia was even more worried about how Mali would take it.

"Run along to Uncle Vantie's camp" Alicia said, pointing toward the east of the camp.

"Im scared Mommy."

"I'll be there in a minuet, Mali." she said, turning back to her tent.

"I don't wanna go alone."

"Mali," Alicia looked at him with her 'gaze'.

"Oh, alright." he said and walked off slowly towards Vantie's tent.

All was dark in Vanties section of the camp. He had no fire for he didnt stare into the flames as Alicia did. He simply stared into the darkness. Mali was trembling as he walked closer to the tent. Vantie's eyes caught a ray of moonshine for a second and they glinted in the darkness. Mali stopped dead in his tracks and shook.

Vantie sat there in his tent, staring blankly out at Mali, as if not realizing he was there. His eyes once again darted to the group of tents to his left. He saw Alicia pulling her pendant from her pocket. She put it on and held it tightly. Letting it fall she walked off towards Mali where he stood and shook.

When she reacked Mali she put her hands on his shoulders and lightly pushed him to Vantie's tent. A few feet from his camp she let Mali stand as she continued. She sat next to him and spoke quietly.

"I want him to stay with you tonight." she said, giving the third gaze of the night.

"Why?" Vantie asked still staring blankly out into the darkness.

"I need him to understand that you arent as scary as he thinks you are."

Vantie shifted his gaze to her. He just sat there and looked at her, smiling his crooked necrotic smile.

"Don't give me that." she said looking back at him in her own blank stare.

"The kid can stay." he said looking back out to where Mali stood.

"That's what I thought."

Hell yea! PARTY TIME!

Now we go back to the story... Be warned, highly psychological post ahead!

--------------------------------

Dac silently stared at the sky, unable to sleep. Why does he like me more than the others? I mean, he has a mother, he has a father, but everytime he has worries or something else, it's to me he will go to! But why? What do I have more than both Alicia and Vanatiel?

He slowly sat to look deep in the fire. Vanatiel said "Blood Is Power". Could he have also meant... No, forget it Dac. He didn't knew you watched, and besides, he couldn't be-

"Uncle Dac!"

Those words almost made him jump high. Quickly turning around, he saw the small silhouette of Malikai just besides him.

"Mali, what are you doing here? Should you be sleeping with Vantie right now?"

"I know, Uncle Dac. But he scare me! I don't like him!"

"So what? Alicia said something, and you'd be better to respect it! Go back to Vantie, now!"

"But..."

"Please, Mali, don't try my patience! You know how horrible I can be when I'm angry..."

"Okay, then..." And on these words, Malikai left Dac.

But 30 minutes later, he came back, silently, assured that Dac was now asleep. He lied down just next to him, and slowly drifted into dreamland...

*insert dark setting here*

~~ ~~ ~~
The sands of time began to stir once again as the shadows of time took prescence over the world. Skies grew dark as the elements again thrashed in a futile attempt to balance themselves. The searring of Ascalon and the destruction of Orr were not distant pasts, yet the effect these occurences had on the elemental powers were still unknown to the greatest of sorcerers. Tales of malevolent beings stalking the night grew more rampant as the party made another stop along their journey. The few chosen who remained in the world knew little of their prophetic fates, yet they still had potential. The physical affects of the searring covered abroad, yet their potential effects remained ellusive. Little did young Malikai know that his life would soon be changed as the elements seeked balance.

~~ ~~ ~~

Malikai's thoughts flew rampant as he slept next to the figure of Dac. His thoughts led him to his past before the searing. The fields exploded with colors that would soon be a thought of the past.
Voices sprang in from no where, as if shadows began to molest his mind. The skies grew dark with rampaging fury as bolts of energy streaked throughout the horizon. Screams could be heard as eyes panned the massive boulders brought forth from the heavens. Malikai's face grew in horror as he watched his home spark in fire. Smoke loomed overhead and began to cloud the sky. Malikai was running, unknown that these were not his thoughts. Fires sprang from nowhere, life being sacrificed as if it were a misplaced toy.
Malikai screamed as he watched a massive boulder fall to his location. Life flashed before him as Time appeared to stop itself. The world suddenly grew dark as he felt his spirit wisk away. He momentarily found himself falling, or floating? His surroundings were dark with shadow, and he could make out no detail.
A shrill voice loomed in his mind. He could not place it, yet found it soothing as it was his only connection to life. His gaze shifted, yet the abscence of light panicked the young child.
Shol V'ha's gaze turned to the child, slowly picking through his mind. Her power was unmatched in this realm, and the child had no choice but to wait out her wrath.
'Child...' The voice was soft, as if spoken from a mother to a newborn. 'Your potential is great, yet you do not trust yourself.' Shol Vah's voice grew worried as the childd began to resist.
'Do not worry, young child. More will come to you in time, as you must relax your mind...You are not who you appear to be. The elements have formed a bond to you that I have never seen in my watching of this plane. Only in time, child.'

The voice in Malikai's mind faded, and his control over the enviornment grew. The child woke up abruptly, and screamed.

Golden Knight · Aug 13, 2005, 01:54 AM // 01:54

((i will continue with my story))

Gold looked out of his tent at the group of tents a few yards away from him for the tenth time that night. He couldn't help but be worried that he might be indisposed. "No," he told himself. "I am not indisposed, I have a part, I am a warrior, my job is to protect them." He had learned the names of the people he had spoken with, the elementalist was Alicia, the necromancer was Vantiel, he learned. He also learned the Gods that their powers were tied to, but other than that, conversation with them was minimal. Gold went back into his tent and laid down. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!" he yelled, as he felt his sword bite through his skin. "*** **** ****ing crock of ****!!!!!!!" He healed his wound with a quick healing spell, sheathed his sword (I knew i shoulda sheathed it), and fell asleep.

Dac Vin · Aug 13, 2005, 05:23 AM // 05:23

...But not for long.

Dac Vin was busy comforting Mali, who had woke him up when he screamed. "Don't worry Mali, it was just a dream! Nothing can hurt you in a-"

Then he stopped. In himself, he detected an unfriendly presence. He could see them. And they were heading toward the camp, likely going for an easy massacre...

But Dac had another plan in mind.

"STONE SUMMIT!!!!" he screamed, effectively woking everyone up. The scream would not stop the Summit in their attempt at bloodshed, but death will!

/yawn
The fact that you are banned tickles me, yet it is you who should read the story. Let us learn the English language before we flame?

Now, as you were saying /cough, as you can't say regardless, my portion fits into the story correctly as I have spent more than 10 seconds compiling my thoughts as you appear to have done. Next time you try to call me out on a mistake, and the next time you make a new acct to randomly spam and flame (as I've seen about 4 bans within this week with the same vocabulary usage), think first.
/rant off

Sorry to everyone for jumping like this. NOW! Back to the story...

Link Ironhammer · Aug 13, 2005, 03:10 PM // 15:10

Mali woke Dac up with his scream, Dac comforted him and Dac fell asleep instead of Mali. Mali was supposed to be sleeping in his fathers tent, but Mali was scared of him and he didn't want to conquer that fear just yet. Mali lay there thinking on the events of the previous day. He knew he could hurt someone maybe even someone he loved. He didn't wanna take that chance. Mali decided right then that he should run away. He didn't know where he should go though either Kryta or make the hard run to Droknars Forge. He decided after a few minutes to go to Kryta. Mali snuck out of the tent and walked over to the wagon they arrived in, it had two horses Mali took one of them and rode out of town heading for Kryta.

Mali rode down the rode to Kryta, so far with no trouble. He came to an entrance to a cave and rode on in, he hoped he was going the right way. He ran in to a White Mantle Knight in the begining of the cave. "Now just where do you think you are going son?" "I am going to Kryta." "Its a little early for that isn't it?" "No not to me." " You should be able to make it out, before the ettins wake up that is." "When do they wake up?" " In 30 minutes you had best hurry little boy." Mali rode of into the cave hoping he would make it in time.

Mali saw some light at the end of the cave! He began riding even faster and made it out, he was at fork he chose right and rode on to Kryta. Mali arrived in Kryta tired and out of breath, In Lions Arch he found an unoccupied area, tied up his horse and laid down and fell asleep. In the morning Mali decided to look around town. There were so many people around him, it looked like travelers mostly. He decided to check out the arena, he headed to the docks and got on a boat heading for the arena. Mali arrived and decided to try fighting in a battle. He knew the rules of course, the team with the most kills at the end wins. The battle started and he saw his teamates fighting the enemy they of course were in one group. Mali thought meteor shower would do some damage. He concentrated on the spel so well he killed about 2 of the enemy, His teammates turned and smiled at him and they continued fighting. Mali and his teammates won the battle. He did talk to his teammates afterwards, Mali told them his story about his journey here and he didn't have any money. Each of his teammates gave him 3k in gold!! Mali now had 9k, he thought (since he was an elmentalist) he should buy armor and weapons. He did and boy were they cool!! Mali decided that he would never leave this town and everyday he would go to the arena and fight, that was his training and his home from now on(if his parents didn't come looking for him of course). Mali went back to his hiding place and fell asleep.

Meanwhile back in Beacons Perch, Mali's mom kept screaming Mali's name over and over again waking everyone up." What in the world is going on here?" Vantie(Mali's father) asked. "Mali is gone, I can't find him and he was supposed to be with you!!!" "Calm down Alicia, Mali came back in to my tent and I could have sworn he was asleep." Dac said A town guard ran over to the camp wondering what was the matter. "Our son is gone he was here last night now he is gone." "I saw him last night riding out towards Lions Arch on a horse." the guard said. Alicia sent the guard away and ran to her tent crying, no one followed her. Alicia could only hope that Mali was alright.

Err Link, that didn't make any sense.

1. Mali is WAY TOO YOUNG to ride an horse. Geez, he's only like, 3-4 years old now!

2. The road to Lion's Arch take a WHOLE DAY, as I said on another post. There's no way Mali woulda done it in less than 30 minutes!

3. A guard not being suspicious about a little kid alone...

4. More, and more, and more, and more... I think I'm goint to continue where I left off and completly ignore your post! None of it made sense at all...

Link Ironhammer · Aug 13, 2005, 04:26 PM // 16:26

ok...... maybe it was a little horse, and maybe the guard was stupid

conker · Aug 13, 2005, 06:24 PM // 18:24

Storm Crow · Aug 13, 2005, 06:35 PM // 18:35
