we need to find a magiical wood we can turn into staffs . our previous staffs were taken by Asthia and most likely were destroyed. so we need new ones. hopefully ones with greater power.." Ilsa said.

"There is some wood that can be taken from the so called 'heart of the world...' it is the name of a tree which, while not literally being the heart of the planet, is a very old tree... it is gigantic, having been enhanced by magic that it absorbed over the course of milennia. To make the best staffs possible, get me some wood from the heart of the heart of the world... you will need to climb up to its center, and see if you can tear some wood out of it. I'm sure you can climb it... females are good at climbing among out kind." the shaman told Minna and Isla.

"It will take about a day to get there and a day back. To find the tree, keep heading in the direction of blue flowers. These grow on the tree. I will show you one. With that, he entered his hut and a moment later, returned with a blue flower.

"These flowers will be more noticeable the closer you are to the tree. When you are close enough, it should be unmistakable. Bring me the heartwood, and I can make a staff for you."

Meanwhile...

Asthia got a container of some liquid and poured it into two cups for herself and Adykon.

"This is nectar from the heart of the world... let's drink to our desire!" she said.

Adykon was a bit uneasy about it, but the drink smelled good, and he really didn't want to anger her now... he was trapped in her tower and at her mercy...

thank you..' The girls said together.. " We'll get right on it.." Ilsa said thanks.. she said as she and minna turned towards the door. ' mi nd if I take the flower so we can recognize it..?'

Noname · **Reply #5823 on:** September 07, 2009, 12:34:15 AM

"Take the flower, then. " The shaman said. "Just be sure to bring it or another one back to me as well, which should be no problem where you two are going...'

Meanwhile...

The nectar had an almost instantaneous effect on Adykon and Asthia. It was as if his iron will had suddenly been exposed to a white-hot furnace. The world itself seemed... different... thoughts of his duties and the adventure evaporated... and his senses were heightened to notice a female in the room with him... and she was emitting pheromones. That was enough for him...

And Asthia... lost all control of herself. Being a vampire didn't make her any more or less immune to these sort of things. Her instincts, already awake, were launched into a wild overdrive... her female body seeking a male complement... every nerve of hers was primed in anticipation of what was to come... it was not a good idea right now to come between her and her desire...

we sure will" Ilsa said taking it in her claws and holding tight." Come on Minna' She said bowing to the shghanan, and departing from the hut. minna did the same and followed her out. the girls soon left the village to headed into the forest/ beautiful flowers bloomed all around them, but they were interested in only one flower, the blue one with ilsa had in her possession. so far they had not s[potted any..

Noname · **Reply #5825 on:** September 07, 2009, 01:18:46 AM

The woods were full of all sorts of flowers, including many different blue ones... but as time went on, the kind of flower they were looking for became more and more common...

Back at the village, Selturma had wondered where Minna and Isla had gone off to, and she contacted Vespion about this. After an hour or so of looking, Vespion learned from the shaman that the girls were away in the forest...

"They will be back in two days, then?" the priest asked the shaman.

"Yes, they should be... if they come back alive..." came the response.

"The woods arent dangerous, are they?" Vespion queried, concerned.

"No... but Asthia is... if she is looking for them, they could be in danger..."

Fortunately, looking for anything was the last thing on Asthia mind at the moment, insofar as she was capable of thinking in her current frenzied state.

Nick22 · **Reply #5826 on:** September 07, 2009, 01:28:02 AM

minna and ilsa had noticed the flowers, which were slowly becooming more and more common.. there was a sort of sickly sweet smell in the air.. night was begining to fall. ' where are we going to campo for the night ilsa, we have to stick together.. '; don't get any ideas minna..: Ilsa warned her in a low tone. " Relax Ilsa, i know there are lines we can't cross..' minna said giving her friend a sideways glance.. " I was just asking when we camp. " Once we get too tired to go any further minna ; ilsa replied ' lets just keep moving..

Night was indeed falling quickly, but the stars were bright, and the moon was out...

Nick22 · **Reply #5828 on:** September 07, 2009, 01:36:46 AM

the two bnobles continued by moonlight heading deep into the forest, minbna was quickly getting tired and started to nag ilsa to stop and rest..

Noname · **Reply #5829 on:** September 07, 2009, 01:52:36 AM

Meanwhile...

Asthia and Adykon were all over each other on the bed... lost to the world around them... completely oblivious... they had been like that for hours, and although they were getting tired, they still didn't stop. Adykon would have known that he cannot hope for his seed to bear fruit in Asthia's infertile soil, but his mind wasn't operating as it normally was... neither was her's, for that matter... the nectar gave them the ability to go at it for much longer than they had dare imagine...

Akito stood outside, sparks flying as he clashed against Touga's longsword.
"Tch. You'll have to do better than that to hit me, Touga. Now, come. Let's dance!"
He yelled, attacking the other Fauxen without hesitation...
_________________________________________________________________________

Akio sat silently, contemplating recent events. Asthia's infatuation with Adykon...Arcantas's recent defeat at the hands of the adventurers...and his own personal ploy taking form.

"Akio...What are you thinking?"
A lithe, feminine voice drawled, as a young man stepped out of the shadows to stand beside Akio's spot.

"Kuja...What would you say would be the chances of...perhaps convincing Lady Asthia to...betray our master? To betray the darkness?"
He mused to his retainer and friend, staring into the black mirror in front of him.

"Ah, that...will depend on Adykon. He is the hinge. Either he will side with our...master, or he will return to his party. Either way, he will likely have a strong influence on Lady Asthia's choice..."
Kuja drawled, his lithe fauxen form hovering just off the ground...

"Good. Then in that case..."
Akio moved a pawn on the chessboard in front of himself.
"The game is begun..."

Noname · **Reply #5831 on:** September 08, 2009, 01:54:28 AM

Selturma approached the Fauxen. "What are you guys doing?" she said, bouncing up and down as she usually did. "I thought I heard someone talking about Asthia..."

Meanwhile...

Asthia and Adykon collapsed on top of each other, utterly exhausted, but satisfied. In their minds the struggle between each side could wait... nothing else mattered while they were feeling so good...

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #5832 on:** September 08, 2009, 02:12:17 AM

Akito looked over at Selturma.
"We...Didn't mention anything about her. You sure you heard us say her name?"
He asked worriedly...

_________________________________________________________________________
(OOC: Akio is nowhere near the group. But perhaps Selturma can hear fragments of his thoughts and conversations. That'd be a twist)

Akio saw the two lovers laying there.
"Funny how I never thought I'd say this, but...I do hope they end up happy."
He said softly, eliciting a small chuckle from Kuja.

"Really, now? That is a change, Akio. Maybe, just maybe...you'll actually be able to change the world. As you hoped."
The other Fauxen murred, eyes strangely eager...

Jake was sitting on a fallen log thinking about all of the past events that had taken place ever since he, rex and Sasha joined the adults on adventures. He remembered the time when he bombed rhiga with balloons...Jake chuckled at the memory

Noname · **Reply #5834 on:** September 08, 2009, 02:17:45 AM

(OOC: Selturma approached the characters closest to the group, not necessarily Akito. I'll leave it to you to decide who she heard.)

It had been a while... those were carefree days... now Rhiga was held captive in the tower of a vampiress, and the stakes had risen dramatically...

Meanwhile...

Asthia and Adykon had been in bed for hours and hours... she was still in his arms. Although the effects of the Nectar had worn off, they still caressed each other... nothing could interrupt this moment... nothing... until...

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!

"Go away" Asthia managed to moan...

"Mistress! I would no disturb your pleasure if not for an urgent matter..." a Dracon servant said.

"It isn't important." Asthia said. "Shoo..."

"But mistress... it's about your daughter!" came the reply.

metadude1234 · **Reply #5835 on:** September 08, 2009, 02:21:26 AM

Jake continued thinking about that when he had an idea when rex walked past. "hey Rex, want to battle?" asked Jake
"sure" said Rex as he grinned.
Jake got up and they both went over to an open place. They both drew their swords and ran at each other. Both swords locked and some sparks went flying.

Noname · **Reply #5836 on:** September 08, 2009, 02:22:38 AM

It had been a while since those two had last fought... it was not so friendly last time... Jake was nearly killed by a frenzied Rex in the lost city... and there were many lessons learned from the whole debacle.

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #5837 on:** September 08, 2009, 02:36:57 AM

Akito sat back on the ground, chucking at Touga.
"Well, I must admit, you aren't bad..."
He teased...
_________________________________________________________________________

Akio started as he heard the messenger say Asthia's daughter.
"A daughter, hm? This could be a pivotal point to my hopes..."
He said worriedly...

Noname · **Reply #5838 on:** September 08, 2009, 02:39:41 AM

(OOC: Asthia is far away from the party, and so is the messenger. You may need to edit those posts, Starfall, for the sake of continuity.)

"What?!" Asthia said, getting out of bed. She didn't want to pull herself out of it, but for this, she had to go...

Throwing on her loincloth, she reluctantly rose and went downstairs, telling Adykon to wait for her in bed...

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #5839 on:** September 08, 2009, 02:43:08 AM

(OOC: Akio is my dark character. He's...sort of on the same side as Asthia and Arcantas, but he has his own designs. He's currently spying on Asthia, hoping to win her to his cause against their master...)
