In the Land of Heartstone

As you open the door you're engulfed in a large cloud of smoke and soot, almost instantly covering you in a black layer. Your scent of smell is almost physically assaulted, and for a moment it feels like you're going to suffocate. Then the cloud passes, leaving you with a sore throat, a burnt nose, and a different skin color. You can hear the banging of steel on steel, common to black smith's workplaces, as if the world wanted to assault your hearing as well for good measure. However, through the black fog you can see a massive, heavily muscled orc clad in a leather apron. He's wreathed in an almost demonic red glow from the hot coals, and he barely looks up at you, obviously in the middle of a forging. However, within a moment he places the glowing steel in a trough of water, turning towards you.As Jaqural approaches, you notice several things. The first is his odd skin color. Unlike most orcs, Jaqural is bright white, contrasting with the soot that's found it's way onto his skin and covers his face. His eyes also are red, the clear signs of an albino. However, you have never heard of such a thing as an albino orc, and the effect is rather terrifying rather than silly-looking. The second thing is that the man instantly punches you in the gut, his fist picking you up and launching you through the doorway you'd just walked through. The heavy-set orc steps out after you in the time it takes you to realize your bones aren't broken, and steps on your chest, the pressure making you once more unsure as to whether all your bones are intact.As he gets closer, the albino orc's features become clearer, the lack of soot and smoke helping a lot. He has heavy eyebrows, set in a permanent frown, contrasting with the almost playful smirk on his face as he looks down at you. There are the usual scars and signs of battle that no orc would be seen without, and one of his eyes doesn't appear to be working properly. There's a sternness in his features that suggests a harshness of a more psychological nature than what most orcs are used to. Even for an orc, this figure is massive, and you realize he must have ducked to get out of the blacksmith's quarry. "A new recruit, eh? The old ones know not to walk in uninvited. All ya pointy-ears look the same to me!"

Raphion coughed to the side 3 times from the soot in his throat then said to Jaqural "Sorry I didn't know that. I just joined today. Also all the other blacksmiths I've been to don't do that so I'm not really used to stuff like that." He then thought to himself 'It would have been nice to have been warned about that rule.' He then continued "So now that I know that's how you do things I gotta ask. May I please get up then come in?"

Dunmur moved in fast, jumping forward and grabbing Morgathar's handle before you can swing it. Had he been unworthy of the axe, it would have burned him. However, simply the fact that he can hold it without burning proves he is an honorable and skilled warrior, if his behavior had not indicated as such sufficiently. Dunmur pushes forward, twisting the large axe around, attempting to wrest it from your grip.[to Cat]As you arrive at the village, you find something you had hoped not to. The trees open up into a clearing, shielded from above by a cover of leaves. A green dome, enchanted to be invisible to the eyes of other races. However, the scent that greets you is one of smoke and burnt flesh. You see a scattering of blackened remains, houses left half-standing and signs of battle. Burnt corpses litter the ground, some holding weapons, others holding children or relatives. There's a large hole in the dome, and you can feel that the spell has been shattered. Still the fires smoke in some places. A few youths are trying to search the area for survivors, and you see more than a few crying, standing near a corpse they had recognized somehow. The only reason they were still here is because the older warriors had sent the youths away, and kept off the enemy. This was the work of no army, no poacher. A dragon had been here. And there is only one dragon in this forest.[to Jorthan]Lurias nods, smiling. "You're accepted, of course. A sign from the Earth Mother herself!" Lurias lets out an unexpected burst of laughter, as he pats you on the shoulder. "You come as a blessing. I am sure our raid shall succeed, with such a fortuitous sign from the Heavens. Surely it is the will of the gods that we win." Lurias smiles, as he gestures at a nearby building. "Go get yourself equipped. You're going to need some good armor and weapons. Jaqural is a master blacksmith, he'll repair anything that's damaged, and you're going to want to meet him. Be ready for battle in two hours. We're moving in on Copperside as soon as the sun goes down."Lurias' smile wavered, as he walked away. The Gods did not often interfere with the mortal realm, and certainly not with such things as a resistance raid. What was the task that this new recruit, Raphion, had been given? Would Raphion be the one to strike down the Alderian Empire? Those who are chosen by the Gods are not blessed, as history would show those who cared to learn it. They will move the world with their will, and bear it's sorrows. They will face the greatest tragedies, and if they do not prevail, they risk angering the Gods. If Raphion did not succeed at whatever task the Earth Mother had set for him, what form would her divine wrath take? Whatever would happen from this point on, Lurias concluded, would be bigger than just the resistance. This would affect the face of the earth

Nodded then said "I will be ready for battle. May my knife become dull and my energy low I will fight until the end." He turned to face Favnir then said "Thank you for bringing me here." He then left for the blacksmith's. As he walked he thought about the word the Earth mother told him 'KILL THE DEMON THAT HAS SLAIN YOUR FRIEND.' He knew which friend that she was talking about. from the letter he got. He had know idea who it was that killed him. He pondered about who it might have been but since his friend was friendly with the Alderian Empire nobles there were a lot of people that would want to kill his friend some in this very camp. So he shoved those thought out of his mind as he reached the blacksmith.

Dunmur looked sideways at Bazglub. It seemed he would fight him right now. "Very well. If this is the way it shall be. However, I request that I may retrieve my axe." Dunmur stood ready to dodge any strike if necessary, although his stance was not an offensive one. Whereas Dunmur truly did believe himself worthy of the axe Morgathar, he was not fool enough to face the wielder with only half of his weapons. Even without the might of the axe himself, any Wielder would have to have endured great trials to reach the Axe, and many must have come before him, making the Wielder a formidable opponent.There's the usual forest sounds of insects and small animals bustling about in the undergrowth. However, you do notice a mark similar to the first one you encountered a bit further along. A trail of marks. This is one of the ways that a trail to a village can be marked, allowing those who know of these marks to find the village. However, you're not sure how well you would be recieved by your kin, seeing how you've already caused the deaths of many by rousing Lord Allen. Kumiho are by nature inquisitive creatures, keeping an ear out for rumors of danger, and there is no doubt they will be fully aware of your involvement in the matter. Unlike the last few chaotic hours of your life, you face a choice now. And it's unclear which choice is the right one."No no no, not Shira." Lurias sighs, shaking his head as he paces. He looks worried and slightly confused. When he eventually speaks again, he's calmed down slightly, making an attempt to explain. "That mark is the Mark of the Forest." He gestures at the mark on your forehead. "It's a legendary thing. I've never seen it in person, only in an old book I inherited from my grandfather. That is the mark that was carried by Warlord Gundar, master of the Horde, more than 800 years ago. You must know the story. The Earth Mother asked a champion to slay a demon, and the orc failed. Because of this, the Earth Mother turned the orc's homeland to a barren wasteland." The elf turns to you, his eyes filled with an odd excitement. "The fact that you carry that mark means you were chosen for some task by the Earth Mother."

Raphion felt the mark on his forehead then said "The mark of the forest. Well that's interesting." He thought about the last bit the man said thinking 'That explains the things that she told him.' Raphion listened to the story that was told to Favnir nodding since it was understandable. He then looked at the man in armor saying "Well as I said I want to join your cause. I can already fight and I'm at your command."

Ron walked back over by May. He sat down then said "Sorry about that I just wanted to say hi to them." He gave a bright smile then leaned back and rested his head against the back of the seat.

Raphion backed up some when man who he guessed was the leader reached for his sword. He didn't reach for his knife, which was his first instinct. Raphion felt his forehead after the man started pacing thinking 'That's the reason the lady showed him those images. She was putting a symbol that referred to her.' After he finished thinking he said "Shira, so that was that lady's name. I was just entering the forest when she appeared before me. This was just a few........uh hours ago maybe." He thought about it for a bit then continued, "I'm not sure after I meet her she told me some information then showed me some images then I woke up with Favnir standing over me while surrounded by roses." Raphion pointed to the dragon that was still near by them. After this he said "Now I think I owe you an introduction about myself. I am Raphion and I came to join you in your fight against the Alderian Alliance."
