[h1][u]Re-cap / Current Events[/u][/h1] [b][color=yellow]The New Alliance[/color][/b] A new alliance was formed through the agreed upon threat of Nuxta looming over the Kingdoms. It was through the eyes of Vrondi's Seer of all did they embrace the knowledge of the past. To seek the answer to disarming Nuxta of his known greatest protection. Vrondi's old armor made of the Dragon God's scales. It was observed through time that the world was once whole and covered in various species of life. But through a cataclysmic war did it become as it is now. It was also seen that the original seraph the ancestor of all descendants defeated the Dragon God through unknown means. It was decided then that the only hope was to attain a hammer that was used to forge the armor. This hammer was within a dangerous mountain territory surrounded by wyverns. It was decided by the Kings and Queens to allow a force of volunteers to go out and retrieve this item. Vrondi's large yet confined castle halls allowed one of their rarest of bloods to travel with this group to legitimize its standing and possibly attract other high bloods to join and lead its ranks. If a young woman unable to wield a sword Ami Lovegood was truly meant to travel under the protected guide of the alliance to heal the lands and observe Nuxta's defilement of their world and reverse it as only she can. Despite her new found freedom she was soon followed by a group of knights from Vrondi led by a Vrondi royal who claims love for her. The new alliance group has come across the blights on the land while heading to Gaia and have recently arrived to the town of Pearl to rest and to help one of their members who has suddenly fallen for an unknown reason. [b][color=orchid]The Dark Awakening[/color][/b] Lila Moriarty now was married to Anui. Yet she was soon met with his mother who was happy to see him yet very unhappy to see Lila. Growing immediately suspicious of the young girl she forced her away to separate her from Anui. With little defiance Anui let her be taken. Promising they would be together again soon. Whilst locked away Lila's last name, Moriarty, was discovered to be a old bloodline with no relatives left alive. This was due to the Aion long ago. Through information on many of the Aion's attacks on Therosi and Nero jointed groups Lila's hands was covered with blood spilled for their enemy. Due to the recent massacre of royals by the Aion Lila was sent to trial for all of their deaths. Whilst under the judgement of the royal council Lila was commanded to defend herself. While Lila undergoes trial a sleeping dragon was awakened beneath the city of Nero. An ancient beast from the dark and of unknown history. While Nero was oddly enough free from any attacks when Nuxta made his simultaneous assault on the kingdoms across the land, it now had a problem far greater than a army of cultists. [color=red][b]Old Recaps #2[/b][/color] [hider=Old Recap #2] [color=darkorchid]The Bride of Blood[/color] After the bloody attack of the Aion on the blood banquet many Nero royals were struck with fear, injuries or death. The Therosi and the Dolofon along with the Nero forces were enough to push back the Aion. Their sacrifices not in vain however as many of the slaves being sold were saved that day. Left behind were the fallen seraphim slain for what they believed to be a noble act, but also left behind was Lila. A daughter of the night but a Aion no less. She was smitten by a Nero royal and like wise he too was enchanted by her strength and grace. The two were privately wed before the night fell and Lila no longer has the Aion as her comrades. Now she resides in the castle of Nero, home of the King and his bloodline. Wed to Anui Mythue, the Kings nephew. Only the morning can tell what will become of her as a new dawn awakes over all beings beneath the suns light. [color=Yellow]The Kings Relic[/color] After the Aion returned with slaves the king of Vrondi was pleased enough to allow Mirror's new band of travelers, or anyone willing to try, a chance to get their desires met. All he asked is the safe retrieval of an old relic of his. It was not far but down the path and through the forest to a small mountain before a river. There they were met by bandits and a ancient beast and water nymph was awakened by the struggle. Soon the bandits were dispatched and the beast and nymph allowed safe passage. With a renewed respect for nature the group continued on and met the relic they sought. A old woman, a crystal ball and her ability to see into the past. Illia was her name. She was in trouble however. The bandit leader was aiming to capture her for her own gains, her name was Siiga. Whilst another aimed to kill the woman. Her name was Ganymede, a underling of Nuxta and a charmer of Basilisks. The battle was hard fought. With the freed slave Mason turned rookie Aion knight pulling the Seer to safety before she was harmed. Ganymede retreaded into her mist and vanished from the mountain. Her mission failed. The others carried themselves back to the capital of Vrondi and one named Constance had compassion in her heart for the bandit leader who was nearly killed by Dremmick and Mason. With a reluctance the bandit leader accompanied the group to achieve their reward from the king and see to it that the Seer was brought home. [color=#ADD8E6]The Alliance is Born[/color] After returning Illia who turned her form into a beautiful young woman the group came together to meet the royals of every kingdom save for most of the Nero kingdoms bloodlines. They were presented their gifts or ways or promises to help them in their wishes and were sent away. The Kings and Queens of the world have decided to form an early alliance to combat the threat of Nuxta. This early alliance's first mission will be to retrieve a hammer which is rumored to be able to break the armor of Nuxta and allow the descendants a chance at victory. [/hider] [color=red][b]Old Recaps #1[/b][/color] [hider=Old recap] [b][color=steelblue]Last Night[/color][/b] A terrible battle was waged near the towns and capitals of every territory save for Nero. These cultists who attacked were concentrated on the land of Vrondi. The most decisive battle happened outside of Sunfire. This is where reports from Vrondi intelligence has said a man named Nuxta, claiming to be the lord of death and a pure divine appeared with unknown intentions. He managed to steal control of the Guardian, the King of Vrondi's sacred armor which acted on its own to protect their land. Reports of help from massive dragons of fire, the Aion, the Taxis, Vrondi's elite soldiers, and even the Aion's leader Mirror appearing to help did not defeat Nuxta. Even further a Basilisk Queen, a massive serpent that has taken shape into a giant mysterious woman to be Nuxta's bride had appeared. Such a form was more elegant but still monstrous... Nuxta and his new wife rode off into the moon's light on the back of a white horned black dragon. Claiming to be returning to their kingdom to consummate their marriage and bring into this world a prince to rule the twilight. This night has prompted the world to act in some significant way. [b][color=Orange]The Royal Meeting[/color][/b] Within the morning hours of the new day the royals of each land rise to make their way to the Vrondi castle. There they will meet and speak on the horrors of the earlier nights. Each King and Queen will be attending and arriving in style was what most of them did. Fotians by airship, Gaians by dragon, Tearians by magic and technology. A festival is also being held within the capital walls of Vrondi. This is to celebrate the unified wills of the descendants of all over the lands. The quantity of quality is close to bursting as people frolic in the sunlight. Attempting to heal from the lives lost and forever changed last night. So far the show is being displayed both on the streets and inside the halls of the castle. Meanwhile the King and Queens have all joined a room to speak in private on what will be done about protecting their well being, hopefully, together. [b][color=darkorchid]The Blood Banquet[/color][/b] In contrast to the Royal Meeting there is a Blood Banquet being held. Here blood flows freely into the eager mouths of the Nayu royals None had chose to go to the bright sunny home of the Vrondi. Instead they sell their seraphim slaves, purchase the finest ones for their tastes, and meet other royals who enjoy a good time like a Nayu. Exclusive only to the rich and a masquerade mask is worn by most here. However in secret there are diabolical plots. The Banquet is being visited by the Therosi. They seek a blood vile of the original seraphim of this world. The Aion also hide within these castle walls. They seek to crash this party and save as many seraphim possible, they too seek the vile of the seraphim blood. The final known group are the Dolofon. Allied to the King of Nero they are protectors of the blood vile and their one goal is to kill the leader of the Therosi whom is said to be attending this party in secret. Yet none knows who they are.[/hider] [hr]
