Demons and Heroes

Aroe was walking through the forest, chilled to the bone. He hadnt eaten...slept...he had only a little water left and a stale peice of bread. He stumbled weakly. He needed help.

ooc: woah...a few hours ago there were more posts. They just disappeared.

Yech...no one is here.

 

Off Topic:
Thx to the server move, part of this RP got erased,

Also Gharanth, you still have the sword.

 

Gharanth took the cooked meat that he had left and moved towards the demon in trouble that he sensed. He came upon Aroe. "Here kid, Food and water. Not much but it will help."

 

Aroe stumbled as Gharanth approached, landing on his knee. Was he really that weak? He attempted to stand. Maybe some food would do him good.
"Thanks..." He rasped. But his eyes never strayed from Gharanth.

 

Gharanth collected wood and lit a fire. "Just what were you thinking of? Here eat and drink. If you want to be a successful demon you need to look after yourself. Look kiddo, I'm off on a journey and you can either come with me or wait for my return. I think you need help."

 

Aroe swallowed, throat dry. It cracked as he spoke so he started again. "Journey?" was all he could manage.

 

"A little adventure to help my strength. The only way to keep ahead is to move forward. I'm after another orb. It's a long way away and the journey will be hard. If you come you will face great danger. I will get the orb and return."

 

Aroe rubbed his slowly thawing fingers.
"Another orb..." He closed his eyes, pictureing it in his mind. It was actually just the adventure he needed to get the strength he yearned for. But there was something in his mind tugging him back. Another orb in Gharanth's hands.
"Humans." He said finally. "Does it already belong to a human? Or anyone for that matter?"

 

"It belongs to the rightful owner who has the strength to possess it. Human, demon or whatever. Are you too much of a coward to fight for the right. I love the thrill of the hunt. Don't tell me you think I shouldn't have it. You are pathetic then. Stand up and do something. Wallowing in self pity and whining gets nothing in this life. You want respect as a demon, earn it."

 

Off Topic:
Does Gharanth still have the blade?

 

ooc: Up to you as we've lost the posts explaining it.

 

Aroe jumped to his feet, legs trmbleing under him, unable to hold his body up do to his tiredness. He stayed standing though.
"I don't think you should have it actually. You've slautered too many. You have no right to power. ANY power for that matter. You think your strength, the fact that you kill without a second thought makes you any better a deamon, then you're wrong."
Aroe stared at his clentched fists. "People shouldn't die like that...people shouldn't die over..." Aroe pulled out his wind orb. "Over these!"

 

Off Topic:
Let's say it already happened.
I don't really want to explain things again...

 

Gharanth laughed. "I have slaughter humans just as you have. I have also slaughtered demons. At least I am unbiased. You have slaughtered humans as well, so don't be a hypocrite. I have also helped both humans and demons, a fact you have conveniently forgotten. You really are pathetic. I have no more time to waste on you, oxygen thief."

ooc: ok, he has both swords and is after the orb we discussed.

 

Aroe stared around crazily.
"Im not PATHETIC!" He drew his blades, weakness forgotten. The two short daggers glinted in the light and the wind blew harder.

 

Gharanth burst into flames and drew two swords. Both had flames coming off them. "I will teach you a lesson little child."

 

Aroe ground his teeth. "Then let's begin the class."

 

"Sure weakling." Gharanth slashed with both swords, using his strength to make them hit with maximum force. He heated the air around him to furnace heat, driving anyone who wasn't fireproof back.

 

Natalie looked at the two ...
"Just when I thought demons wern't all that bad," She said sighing.. She looked over at Aroe and Gharanth Fighting as she sat next to Cole

 

Aroe was sweating almost imediatly. He didn't remember the sword he held or the strength and he gleamed at it for a moment, taking several quick steps back to avoid the blades. He knew his short 8 inch daggers had not even half the reach as Gharanth had on him. It had been a stupid idea to challenge him but he wouldn't turn back now.
