October 30, 2006Discovery: Decision
October 25, 2006Vincent slowly digested all the information he had just heard… “Wow…. this is intense, of course I do get what I always wanted, but at what price…” he said. “Well first I must speak with Mysticlight about this recent happening of events…” he said to himself but befor he could speak into the Linkshell he heard “Vincent, Mysticlight! meet me in San d’Oria, please, it’s Urgent…” Antorel Shouted into the Pearl. “Alright Antorel I’m actually right outside so I’ll be right there… I have somethings to talk about aswell…” Vincent said. “I’ll be there in a few you guys.” said the small voice of the tarutaru Mysticlight. “Alright meet me in the Lion Springs Tavern, drink are on me.” Antorel said laughing. After a few minutes i arrived at the Tavern and stepped inside “Mulsum please.” Vincent said as he walked over to the Table Antorel was sitting at. “Hey you’re paying for the drinks remember?” I said smirking. “Yeah-yeah we are just waiting on Mysticlight.” Antorel responded. After 15 minutes Mysticlight walked into the door and gretted us with a smile. “Alright so whats this all about Antorel and Vincent?” she said. “I’ll let you go first Antorel, I’m curious aswell…” Vincent said. “Well…. I’ve discovered the secrets of my past… and with that I’m terribly sorry Vincent, sorry for your loss…” Antorel began. “You see….” Antorel said as he began to say what had happened in his past. “You…….. I should kill you for what you did…. but I may need you still, so i guess it’s my turn to speak of what happened.” Vincent said. He told them of what happened to him during the 10 years, and then he spoke with Mysticlight. “He, Raogrimm, said that you were one of the chosen ones Mysticlight. He said you would aid me in my task to defeat the Shadow Lord, and that we would find more help along the way.” Vincent said to her. “Wow… this is quite alot of stuff to digest, lots of Information…” she said baffled. “well in anycase i think we should start travelling together, we never know how many people know of us being the chosen ones, and what they could try to do…” Vincent said and as he did someone entered the tavern. He looked over at the table they were sitting at, “You, your dead oh yes, I think it’s about time we put an end to your pitiful existance.” the man said as he charged the three. Vincent stood up and unsheathed his sword, he felt a sudden strength one he’d never felt before. He ran towards the attacker who quickly made a thrusting move with his dagger, which he had pulled out as he charged, Vincent anticipated this attack and jumped clear over the man. Vincent landed right behind him and smirked. “It’s over!” Vincent shouted as he cut clean through the man severing the upper torso from the lower. As he fell the robes covering him fell off revealing his true identity. “An undead huh?” Vincent said staring at the fallen foe. “He was after us…” Antorel said. “No doubt.” Mysticlight added. “Let’s get out of here, there still may be more after us.” Vincent said as they approached the door, noticing the mass of the bar still stunned at what had just happened. “Lets go to Jeuno Mysticlight, anyone following us will have trouble finding us in the crowd.” Vincent said as they made thier way to the gate. “I guess this is where we part ways for now Antorel, I have a feeling we will see each other again…”
Discovery: The Past pt. 2
October 17, 2006After the light had completely engulfed him pictures started to form… not distinguishable pictures… not yet anyway then he saw one form completely it was him… when he was eleven… and as he stared he saw he was in the infirmary where he awoke as spoke with master Tredent and as he thought this he slowly became the boy only not fully it was as if he was in his mind… but as a passenger, couldn’t take control of anything that was happening… I guess I just have to sit back and enjoy the ride, Vincent thought. “I hope the plan fails….” the young vincent said coldly. “WHAT?! how could you even think of that? you’d wish the deaths of thou-” tredent managed before being interupted. “Yes, I’d wish that… because I want to be the one to kill the Shadow Lord… I want to kill him with my own two hands and watch as he begs for mercy and forgiveness at my feet…” Vincent said giving his master a look he had never seen before, it Frightened Tredent… “Well Vincent…. I’m sorry to hear you feel that way… I thought i had trained you different… Well I must go because I too must depart for I seek to help the people of Vanadiel… I will protect them… I’ll protect even you. So i must be off, because soon i go to war against the darkness… come Ketyunis let us leave Vincent to rest.” Tredent said pulling Ketyunis away with him. This wasn’t the student he raised, Tredent thought, not at all… But Vincent knew why he felt that way back then… all the anger and rage inside of him, the sorrow… It felt like a war ebing waged inside of him… and he was losing… the Images started to play foreward faster and stopped briefly at a point of him training two years after he had recovered and he had become stronger and better with a blade… he was fighting, Fighting orcs he killed four of them almost effortlessly. Rage is a powerful tool, Vincent thought, it can drive you many places… then the images continued to play foreward and stopped at an again older Vincent looked about 16 now, his hair longer about at his shoulders. He had become strong… His arms were bigger then they were now… and he was running, no not running, Vincent thought, he’s chasing something… it looked big black-brown skin… and Vincent made it out to be a Dragon… Why am I chasing a dragon? Vincent thought, Much less why is it running away from me? Dragons can take out small legions of men, then Vincent looked around at the enviroment… it was snowy and there was blood in the snow… and a matching shade of blood on the younger version of him’s Blade, which he had been running with it unsheathed. Vincent guessed this to be the dragon’s blood and he was amazed… To be able to strike fear into the heart of a dragon… I must have been training non-stop all those years… Then the voice spoke into his head. “WHO ARE YOU?! AND WHY DO YOU ENTER MY LANDS?” the voice said. elder Vincent noticed where the dragon was running… and he wished he didn’t he saw a Castle… but no ordinary castle the stone was black… and not a black stone either… also not burnt with soot the rock had been tainted black by a Demonic presence… and he could only guess who… “My name is Vincent, and I’m guessing that dragon is a creation of your’s eh Shadow Lord?” the young Vincent said calmly. “AAHH… SO YOU KNOW WHO I AM, IF THATS THE CASE WHY ARE YOU HERE? DO YOU WISH TO JOIN ME LIKE THAT OTHER FOOL?” he said “I don’t know who this other “Fool” is but no, I’m not here to join you far from it… I’m here to put an end to your miserable existence… and watch you beg for mercy and forgivness at my feet…” Vincent said still calm. “HAH… HAHAHA. HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA. THAT’S FUNNY KID BUT HONESTLY… YOU DEFEAT, ME!? I’LL SHOW YOU WHAT TRUE POWER IS!” as he spoke a field of powerful demonic force began to form around Vincent pushing him back slightly… “NOW DIE!!!!” the Shadow Lord screamed into his mind. and when he did the force stopped pushing and violently lifted him from the earth below and thrust him back-wards and up. he soon was far away from where he had previously stood and he had lost his sword aswell… his fathers sword. With this Vincent knew how he had ended up in Jugner forest… he had been thrown from the north-lands by the sheer power of the Shadow Lord alone… but then he learned how he survived “NO! You musn’t die yet… I will protect you for you will be the one to give me peace… I will save you from the fall and you will awaken five years from now where you will start to fullfil your destiny… you will meet one of the chosen people when you awaken… but until then you shall sleep…” the voice elder Vincent knew as Raogrimm said. and after he did a strange light engulfed Vincent a sort of light-blue light that surrounded him and slwoly lowered him down to the ground and landed him into the waters of Lake Mechicume in the Jugner Forest… and he would lay there for five years… and then the images were gone… he was Back in his own mind and still had the skinned and gutted rabbit… it was clearly alot later and had started to chill… “Raogrimm?” Vincent said as he questioned the night… nothing Raogrimm had left his mand and gone back into hibernation along with the Shadow Lord… he expects me to kill him? Even if i brought myself to kill the man who saved my life would i be able to? The Shadow Lord is so powerful… then a thought came into Vincent’s mind. He will kill him he may not have the power… yet but Raogrimm said he wouldn’t be alone… and he had already met one of the chosen people who would aid him on his journey… Mysticlight.
Discovery: The Past
October 15, 2006Vincent Stepped outside to enjoy the fresh air of West Ronfaure, and of course to slay some orcs. “Hmmm Perhaps I should see if my skills are still in good shape…” he said to himself as he stepped off of the stone path. “The Critters here should be a good enough test.” he said appraoching a rabbit who was chewing on some grass. Vincent Drew his sword and charged panicked the rabbit started to try to defend itself. It jumped and moved to kick Vincent in the face, but he easily dodged and swipped at it’s foot. After about forty-five more seconds Vincent had killed and gutted the rabbit. “Some of my skills are still intact, but I’m far worse then before…… wait I only remember waking up in Jeuno…. Don’t I?” Vincent said to himself puzzled. “…in…..t” a voice spoke from within his head… “V..i…nt” it said again. “Vincent…. Glad to see you’re still alive…” the Strong and Malevolent voice said. “Who? WHO ARE YOU!?” Vincent screamed “AND HOW ARE YOU SPEAKING WITH ME INSIDE MY HEAD!!!?” he asked “Ha ha ha ha ha… You really don’t remember do you… HA HA HA HA HA HA HA…” The voice said mockingly “Well let me at least introduce myself…. I’m the person you’ve grown to hate so much… The reason you lost your parents, and even your master Tredent…” it spoke “No…… It Can’t be you died…” Vincent said almost shocked. “HAH!!! You think those puny armies could have done anything to harm ME!? no no no I merely went into a sort of “Hibernation” if you hadn’t lost you’re memory you’d know I am Completely fine…” he said. “H–he–help me………. Help me…. PLEASE!!!” shouted a new voice, this one sounding more gentle. “Who are you? and what connection do you have with the Shadow Lord?” Vincent said calmer… “I–I AM the Shadow Lord, but I’m the good side I was once known as Raogrimm… Please, you MUST help me…” Raogrimm said “I no longer have control, the Hate has completely consumed my body… so I ask you, to stop me… Kill me PLEASE!” he continued. “What?! kill you? I can’t do that…. I may want to kill the evil part of you, but i don’t want you to go along with it…” Vincent said. “But it’s the only way! otherwise the Shadow Lord will be Revived and the world will once again fall into darkness… So I ask of you, Vincent will you slay me….” he asked. “I–I don’t know if I can… At least not alone.” Vincent Responded. “Don’t worry help will come with you in time… The plan has been set in motion.. your Destiny is coming and in it you must kill me…” Raogrimm spoke “But to do this you must know what happened, You must see what happened to you during those 10 years… Prepare yourself this will be alot of knowledge…” Raogrimm said and as he finished a Bright light started to appear befor Vincent’s eyes and soon he was engulfed in this light…
The Awakening: Start of a Journey
October 13, 2006Vincenet had decided for now that there was nothing he could figure out be delving into the past, there were no history books about him… But he could travel the nations freely by becomming an adventurer. So he enlisted as one, after a few checks and papers he had obtained his adventurer cupon good for some gil and enough to buy some armor. So he went to a shop for some armor, “Well hello adventurer welcome to Rosel’s Armour shop!” Vincent quickly looked as his wares and decided on four things, a Bronze Harness, some Bronze Mittens, Some Bronze leggings, and a Bronze Cap. He could of completed the set of armor with a Bronze Subligar, but Vincent never liked the look of them. as Vincent made his way towards the gate to West Ronfaure he was stopped by a guard. “You Adventurer i got a job for you if you think yourself up to it…” he said. “I do,” Vincent replied “What is it?” he continued. “I would like you to Obtain an orcish fashioned axe for me, Recruit…” he answered. “Very well I’ll do this with much pleasure.” Vincent said smirking.
The Awakening: Discovering the Past
October 10, 2006As Vincent walked into the library he saw a few others one he realized had a link pear similar to his… “Excuse me but might you be part of the Angelic Dragon Force?” he said. “Why, yes are you the new memeber?” he replied “Yeah the name is Vincent.” Vincent said. “Nice to meet you Vincent, I’m Antorel,” he said “What are you doing in the San d’Orian library?” he asked. “I’m here to find out what happened, I’ve been unconcious for 10 years… I recently awoke in Jugner Forest…” Vincent answered. “Oh so you’re in kind of the same posistion as me, I recently awoke in Port San d’Oria…” he said. “Well I’m sorry to cut this conversation short but I MUST know what happened in my abscence.” Vincent said. “Oh no need to be sorry I’m eager to try to discover what happened to me aswell.” Antorel answered “Until we meet again, Vincent” he continued. as Vincent began to read he was amazed at what all had happened, apparently the great war ended with victory, even though there were many losses one of them including his master, Tredent… However the Shadowlord had been defeated, even though Vincent had wanted to do this himself, and the countrys had regained a sort of peace. But Vincent knew somthing wasn’t right, something happened to cause him to go unconcious and he wanted to know what…
The Awakening: New Beginnings
October 7, 2006Vincent walked into the Ronfaure forest calmly. “I can’t believe how long it has been since I’ve been here… I wonder what all happened in my abscence.” he said to himself as he approached the city walls. “I can’t believe how ungaurded the city seems… letting travelers in and out freely… It’s pathetic.” he said. “It’s called the adventurerrrrr’s Privledge.” someone said from behind him. “I see you belong to our Link-shell, the names Mysticmaster.” he said. “I’ve never seen a male mithra before…” he responded, “We don’t usually get out much.” he replied “But I’m an adventurer so i roam freely…” he continued. “Well it was nice meeting you Mysticmaster but i must go to the cathedral and read up on what happened in my 10 years absence.” Vincent said as he started to enter San d’Oria. “Alright, farewell for now Vincent!” he shouted back. Vincent approached the cathedral of altana and went straight for the library, he had to know what happened…..
The Awakening: awakened at last
October 6, 2006“Where am I?” said a voice not quite known by it’s master. “In fact, When am I?” a you man said as he sat up. “Oh man it feels like I’ve been asleep for ages,” he said as he stretched his aching joints “Of course could i really have be-” he trailed off as a sudden quick flash of pain came about his head. “Hey! what are you doin down there?” a small voice shouted. The man looked around and noticed he was half-way in a river sorta lying there. “I was just…… uh…… actually… I don’t know………” said the man. “You don’t know? what kind of nutcase are you?” said the Tarutaru “Jugner forest is a dangerous place you shouldn’t be sleeping here.” she said. “I’m sorry to have worried you, but I must ask you a question.” he said “This may sound strange, but, What year is it?” he continued. “What year where you been in a cave? it’s the year 995.” she answered. “WHAT!?” he said, shocked. “How can that be? how can 10 years vanish before your eyes?” the man asked rhetorically. “Look buddy I don’t know what your talkin about but I’m off to go do some training.” said the taru. “Wait, what’s your name? may I know the name of the person who helped me?” said the man ‘Well I guess, The name is Mysticlight, might i ask yours?” she responded. “Vincent, Vincent Pryde pleased to meet you Mysticlight.” Vincent said bowing. “Here catch.” Mysticlight said as she threw a blue gem at him. Vincent caught it effortlessly and stared at Mysticlight curious. “Hold it to your ear.” she said, so he did. When it neared his ear he heard the voices… Mysticlight in turn held her own pearl to her mouth and spoke into it “Hey guys we got a new member to our happy lil family meet Vincent Pryde all.” she spoke. Vincent moved his to his mouth and also spoke into it. “Um… hello?” he said bringing it back to his ear. “Hello Vincent!” spoke a mass of voices. At that Vincent stared at this pearl with awe. “It’s just a link-pearl nothin special, man maybe you have been out for 10 years…” she said as she began to walk away.
The Beginning: Recovery
October 4, 2006“AAAHHH!” Vincent screamed as he woke up. “whoa whoa there kid, you’re alright, you suffered quite the blow to the head.” said the doctor. “W-where am I?” Vincent replied. “Upper Jeuno this is my Clinic by the way the names Monberaux.” he answered. “Well you have my thanks Dr. Monberaux… Did you see a Tarutaru come with me by the name of-” “Vin!” said a voice from the door. “Ket, you’re all right!” Vincent exclaimed. “Where is everyone, how did I get here?” he questioned. “I can answer that.” said a powerful gruff voice. “Master Tredent, you made it too!” “Well i could be better but yeah i guess I’m alright… anyways to answer your question most of the people that made it out alright are here in Jeuno, and I grabbed you and brought you with me as i fled the orcs when they knocked you unconcious.” he answered. “What about my Mom and Dad?” Vincent asked hopingly. “Well……… Vincent……. I’m sorry to tell you but, they didn’t make it…..” Tredent replied regretably as Vincent started to cry. “Vin……..” said Ketyunis, “I’m sorry… but there’s nothing you can do about it except move on…” he finished. “Why did this happen?” Vincent snapped… “We aren’t the only ones who were attacked Vincent all three countrys were attacked some handled it better than others, but it appears we got the worst of it.” Tredent answered. “What is going on………” Vincent murmured. “A war, perhaps one of the Greatest wars to happen for ages, It appears the beastmen have gained a leader someone called the shadow lord.” Tredent said, “This war will have many deaths but it appears the countries have come up with a plan… We are all to unite, to bring down this reign of the Shadow lord.” he continued. “Will it work?” Ketyunis asked. “We can only hope. “
The Beginning: Escape
October 2, 2006“We’re being over taken!” one of the Guards said. “Move everyone inside along with the King into the Escape tunnel!” He shouted. Depressed Vincent complied. “If we are being over-taken then what hope is there for mother and father?” he murmured, “For any of us…” he comtinued. Then he was grabbed and shaken. “What are you thinking Vincent! we have got to get outta here!” screamed a face he knew, “Ket (Ketyunis), your here too?” Ketyunis had been an orphan his parents left him at birth… but he was found and raised by the church. “No time for happy reunions Vin, we gotta get outta here.” they slowly made thier way down to the Escape route which led to the port. They would seek shelter in Jeuno, ask for aid in re-taking San d’Oria. later he would find out that all cities had been attacked, and most over-taken. along the way through the path they heard the castle gates forced open. Vincent knew the orcs would soon find the tunnel and be on thier heels in no time, but maybe they had a cha…. this thought was cut off short as a stone flew and struck Vincent in the head. It was over he thought, he had been struck in the head and would be caught by the orcs. At least he would get to see his parents again… he thought as he lied there slowly slipping into a state of unconciousness but befor he did completely he noticed sumthing. A lone warrior standing his ground and fighting off the orcs, It was Mas…. and he drifted completely into a state of unwelcome sleep…
