Michael finished destroying the machinery. "Let's find the others and get out of here."
Michael called forth his blade and started to smach the machinery.
OOC: Speaking of Aldon, I wonder if he will ever show up in the story again. By the way, my avatar represents my character's current look. He wears glasses, but only when he is reading, never in battle. BIC: "Quick, shut it off!" "I can't! The swich is rusty!"
OOC: Ok, I'm back now. BIC: "What was that?" "I wonder what this is...." Zephyr pulled a switch. All of the machinery came to life. "Why did you do that, Zephyr?!"
OOC: Watch that first step.....got to go, I'll be back in a few minutes.
"Why did he never tell me what I was....How could he commit such horrible atrocities..."
Michael fell to his knees. "Imagine that....Michael Nightroad, prince of a dead kingdom...." He started to laugh.
Zephyr continued on, until she hit a strange glass tube. "Ouch.....what the heck is this?" "Looks like some kind of lab." Michael looked on the table. On it was a book. Written on the cover was 'Keldon Regeneration Project.' Michael flipped through the book. It detailed plans to revive dead keldon by pulling their souls from the spectral plane and placing them within souless shells called 'Homunculi'. The project hit a snag, however, as the revived keldon had no emotions or memories of who they were. Most of the specimens in the project died, but the survivors went into a berserk rage, and went on a killing spree. The project was later abandoned. At the end of the book, there was a note from the head of the project, begging for forgivness for the sins he had commited. It was signed 'Lord Alastor Nightroad'. "Lord Alastor Nightroad...My father was a king?!"
"I don't know..." Zephyr pushed another brick and the wall opened. "The wire continues on. Let's go." "Slow down, Zephyr!"
The white haired child appeared again, this time he was sitting on the floor crying. "Father...where are you?" "What are you talking about?" "I've been wating for my father here....I have seen him push a brick on that wall and walk through a door that appeared, but I haven't seen him come out...." Zephyr started pushing on bricks. The child then dissapeared. "He looks a lot like me...."
"Apparently, this was the sealed library of Uschtenheim...but it looks like a fire broke out here." "I wonder where this wire goes...." Zephyr followed the wire, until she ran into the back wall. "You okay, Zephyr?" "Just fine, despite the fact that I hit my head on a wall."
OOC: You just now figured out that Jaxed was 13th darkness? BIC: Michael looked around the room. There were a fer skeletons, but mainly ashes and bookshelves. "Great....this was the sealed library, but now it's just a burnt out fireplace...." "So we've come out here for nothing...." Michael walked forward and tripped over a strange wire.
OOC: Parents....Another reason I'm glad I have my own place. Most of the time I'm on though is to kill time while I'm at work. Once my next college term starts, I'll be too busy to do anything.
OOC: Why's that?
OOC: That's ok, although you have missed a lot of the story.
"What is it?"
Michael saw the child run through a door. He tried to open it, but it was locked. "Dead end..." "Maybe not." He looked at the door and saw an indentation of a winged wolf, just like what was on his father's ring. "Let me try the ring..." He put the ring in the indentation. It fit perfectly. The door opened. "Now let's see what's inside."
"I wonder what's down there..." "Drop your torch down there and see." Michael dropped the torch in the hole. When it landed, he saw a hallway underneath the throne room. "A hidden basement. Well, lets get going." Zephyr jumped on Michael's back. He sighed. "I wish you wouldn't do that...." He landed in the hallway below and picked up the torch. The white haired child ran by Michael. "Run away!" "Oh, shut up already!" Michael followed the child down the hall.
Michael ended up in the throne room. He saw the child playing with a ball while sitting on the throne. "Looks kind of like you, Michael." "Hey, kid. What are you doing here?" The child got startled by Michael and ran through a wall. "A ghost! Let me out of here!" "Stop whining, you big baby!" "Well, which way now, fearless leader?" Michael started to walk forward, but the floor collapsed under him. He managed to fly up before he completely fell through.
Michael saw a white haired child run down the hall. "What the....Am I seeing things?" "What are you talking about? I didn't see a thing." "I could have sworn I saw a child run down that way..." "May have been a ghost.....you should probably go check it out." Michael walked down the hallway, hearing laughter all the way. "Man, this place gives me the creeps...." "This coming from a big, bad dragon."
