The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

So Stripetail had a counterpart here? must have been mortal, since he's dead" Snowpaw replied. "Either that, or he did something very stupid that cost him his immortality..."

"He was Immortal but a rift in the change of magic and belief shifted and he lost most of his powers making a immortal in danger of being killed they might be immortal in age and such but if shot his good as dead when it happened. Earth was the last stronghold of magic and lost it belief at the time of ice, Stripetail in this relam got wiped out by a massive magical back blast he was completely disurgrated all that survived was some of his books and his staff... he... DESTORYED his own life for some stupid books!" he spoke out about it and last out the last bit

he was fading anyway.. from what i gather" Snowpaw replied. "Couldn't you revive him, my lord?' "Not here, there's far too little magic left. We'd have to do it in our dimension. If sucessful, I suspect He'll regain much of his former powers, as there is still a very strong belief in magic there. Here, he would be nothing more than a pale shadow of himself, and he would likely be miserable." Stripetail replied. "I think that's why he sacrificed himself. he didn't want to live in a faded state, with everything he treasured gone. Yes, he could have made copies of what was lost, and if I managed to revive him, that is what I will have him do... but I think he realized that his time was over, if he had gone with you Bahumut he would now face a world where he was no longer needed. I don't think he would have been very happy with that" stripetail said.

"I still believe he died for nothing... the books he saved are just not worth the life of him..." Bahumut spoke and turns away "he took a foolish route... if he turn the path of going with me he would of lived and come sort of a historyian whos knows of magic that was lost, things that he never put in books, lost forever" he said looking at Stripetail

Save up your hostility for when I revive him , then let him have it. Lashing out now, doesn't help anyone" Stripetail replied."Besides once he is revived, he'll become exactly that, an historian. Only this time, he'll have more than a few magical creatures who could learn it. Had he gone with you, he would have survived, but then he'd have only Lurna, and maybe a few others to recall his history to.  This way,he'll have a much larger audiance.. Have optimism, rather than disgust. he made a mistake, a large one. It is possible to correct that mistake My Friend" Stripetail replied.

"So you're intending to revive your counterpart? How?' Incanur asked. "he's gone, his body was completely destroyed..' He looked at Lurna. "How is that possible Lurna?' he asked her.

"it isn't poissble the back blast magical shockwave completly blow it into nothinginess. there is only his staff left, that not enough, if you revive him his soul with just be a releast ghost. while his dead his in a plain of new excists with what else magical died in this dimension. Stripetail it impossible to revive him" Lurna spoke out

"My child is right once the body has been totally destoryed and his soul basically gone to where the dead of montals might go there is no way to return him back. you try it and it wouldn't be him. In fact it would be something evil... very darkly evil, his gone... I just have to face that. So in respect of what he did I will have to tell you that I forbid you to revive him. If he wish for only these books to survive with his staff and he died for that let him rest in peace... it might be a crazy and foolish move he took but if he thought it was right then it is to him, his just stubborn." Bahumut spoke to Stripetail and then in a sudden a window of light appears on a wall and stepping just into view was the counterpart Stripetail unable to go any feather but with a gentle smile on his face

It is not possible in our dimension, but it is possible in his..." Came the voice of his counterpart. "I cannot go any closer, because I was mortal at the time of my death.... I made a large mistake my friend.. I should have gone with you... Now I cannot return to this dimension..." the spirit paused... 'You are correct my child" He said to Kurna. "My staff is not enough I will need another possession to be used as well. One of my books that I saved...that will do it... I know that it will take a lot of power for me to be revived, and more still if I wish to regain my powers.. and I know my counterpart is taking a risk by doing this... others here say that things will have to go very smoothly for the pure side of me to be released. My Friend, let him try...If it fails, then so be it... I will accept that my time is truly over... but to be honest, I hope he suceeds.. for then I can be with you again.. and see your beatifuul daugther... I must go...for now.." The figure faded and the light was gone.

"Ok, so it's possible. It's also possible i'll become the next captain of the Enterprise. Brother the odds are against you. Have you ever brought someone back to life, without a body?" Incanur said to Stripetail.

You will all have to believe in me" Stripetail replied curtly. Bahumut, wouldn't you like to chatise my counterpart for his stupidity? Lurna wouldn't you like to meet a friend of your father's? You both know you would. I am under no illusions as to the difficulty of the task, and I will need all the support and BELIEF you can muster. If you don't believe something can be done, there's little point in trying to do it. Belief is what sustains magic, you know that well Bahumut. I know that doing this may release a great evil, but i'm willing to take the chance. I've revived the dead before, I'm not a novice in that regard..."

"I believe what your saying but to do this you will need the time of the Shadows and Light the point that both share the same source of space to do this, in your dimension I believe that would be at the Dragon Homeworld you spoke of, but that to my belief is at the end of next year at the point of beginning and end of two years the end of one and the beginning of another. that is the only time you will get to proform this great task of bring him back, any other time you try will bring back a evil. it only at that point of time you have a good chance in doing it. Trust me on this... I did it once. I revivled my friends child." they all looked at him

"50000 years ago, she was taken away by a force that killed her and her body, I being the king of dragons and have the greatest magical power to Stripetail from this dimension I did it with a great risk but I managed to do it and bring her back he was forever greatful for that. one person there is a chance but two there is a good deal more in getting my friend back. For his child she still lives I sense her magic and she most likely sence mine and be here any..." Bahumut spoke and then he saw her then they all turn around to see someone at the door of the temple. "Say hello to Stripetail's child Lady Evalia, the rose of the Wizzins of this dimension."

Stripetail turned and looked at the new arrival. She looked quite a bit like Eva. "Madam" he said respectfully. "So you are my father's counterpart" Evalia said. coming into the temple. "fascinating. I thought that magic was all but extinct " "she said walking around him, looking at him from every side. "But I see that is not the case... you look like my father, but different... " she turned and looked at Bahumut. " I sensed your power upon your awakening. It has taken me sometime to get. I am not familiar with the other creatures here. I will need introductions" Evalia said, anticipating that Bahumut would introduce Lurna, Incanur and Snowpaw.

"Yes of course Evalia" Bahumut spoke then look at the others "this is my child Lurna and this is a very good and graceful friend of hers Incanur, his at this time a ex-wizzin for some wrong doings in this dimension and the other which his from. And this is Snowpaw and from what I can tell one of two wifes this Stripetail has, the other being Eva if I am not mistake. Sorry but when I saw you first I saw images and words of many friends and family you have Stripetail it the only way I can tell if to be trusted or not. It a ability that was born into me, that why I know things about you that you never thought I would know" Bahumut told Stripetail.

"Young Lady Evalia can tell you that since she seen me do it enough times and some that was there to trick me even they was immortal never lived my mega flares full power one of them being the name Snowbeam. she tricked my friend Stripetail into a magical dual and she cheated and won I sensed it and saw a path that would lead to her taking over Stripetail's powers so I got her alone with me and Evalia was helping me in it and thanks to her I got Snowbeam alone and completly destoryed her. My Mega flare is the only thing that can kill a immortal even a powerful wizzin on the top." Bahumut told him and Evalia respond with a nod and look at Stripetail

I believe that..' Stripetail nodded. "although there are other things that can estroy an immortal. Mortality serum, for one, deprives an immortal of his immortality."

Lurna looked at them "to revive him we have to wait till next year at the end of next year, that what my dad just said, any other time will bring evil, it the only chance you can revive my father's friend"

"Yes indeed that is very much true" Bahumut replied

Stripetail nodded, and was about to comment when Snowpaw replied to Evalia's comment. "I tolerate it, much like I tolerate snide comments about it." She said tersely " I was revived after the children were concieved and suspect there was external pressure put on my husband to have them. If i had been revived sooner, the children would not have been concieved. Stripetail has had two children with Eva, and he will not be having any more with her.  Evalia detected pent-up fustration in Snowpaw's voice, it was as if she considered eva  a rival for her husband's affections.

Bahumut growled a little hearing those words it was like he heard such things before and now it made him anger picking up Snowpaw he spoke looking right at her eyes "If you want to see the sun set and not snoozing you will keep quiet about such things, I sense a rivaliness to whom you speak about and I will not put up with such things in my temple. you speak of it again in these walls and I will throw you out" Bahumut puts her down and snorts once before turning at Stripetail "don't speak of what I said to her in defence, I seen rival and seen what it do and I will not put up with the senses or feeling of it in my temple air" Bahumut said strongly to Stripetail standing by the wall now arms crossed

It's only natural among women who love the same man...and in my case, Snowpaw loved me first. " Stripetail spoke softly. "Let's talk about this in private" he turned and as he did, he gave Snowpaw a look  that gave her chills '"We'll talk when we get home" was the unspoken message and it did not look promising. Snowpaw realized that he was going to ream her out.

Bahumut look to them "well we will..." he senses Picard "I sense something strange, a being that belongs in this dimension but share powers from two dimensions this and yours" he look at Stripetail

Stripetail knew it was Captain Picard since he was a sliver dragon
