Ok, just now finding this out because I joined a long time ago (Since I was there since the beginning) But I just logged out to find out what your talking about and I found out you have to register to see everything...I gotta talk to the others to see if we can change that up a bit...or if you guys want I could just take a few excerpts out of the story to show you all, anyway sorry about the confusion >_>
Ok so here a sample for those who want to give it a look
Main Story Chapter 3
Chapter 3: A Fight to remember
Lance walks out of a thick forest to come upon a grove. A fast flowing crick ran upon it's northen edge. The forest seemed so peaceful and tranquil here.
Lance: I think I've got enough distance between me and them to take a little break.
Lance then walks over to the crick and fills his cantine and splashes water over his face.
Lance: Man, why did it get so hot when I stepped into here.
: It's because of the lava vents around this area.
Lance looked over his shoulder and saw a man step out of the bushes on the oppposite side from him. This man was apparently older because his back was hunched over and he had a cane with him.
Lance: Who are you? If you don't state your name I will be forced to take you into arrest.
: Would you really want to do that to such a poorly old man?
Lance: Well, to be honest, no, but I have a job to do and the faster I can get your name the faster I can be on my way.
Old man: who do you work for?
Lance: Why should I tell you?
Old man: Ok, seems were at an impass. What say you a battle? whoever wins gets there information first.
Lance: Seems fair. You better be prepared.
Old Man: You'd never be guessed how prepared I am.
Lance ran at the old man and swiped at his legs, the old man jumped over the swipe with ease and kicked Lance in the face. Lance stunned at the old mans flexibility, and the fact he just got kicked in the face by an old man took a few steps back. The old man seeing the opprutinity stab at Lance with his cane and then somehow drew a blade out of the cane and pointed it at Lance's throat. Lance wasn't ready to give up yet though and he rolled out of the way, and got up to his feet before the old man could get over to him. Lance went on the defensive now knowing this old man was better than he seemed. The old man againg lunged but then feinted a left swipe and went for an uppercut, lance parried both blows with ease but lost his footing and fell to the ground. Once again the old man put the blade he had at the young man's throat.
Old man: It'll just save you time to accept defeat young man.
Lance knowing this stuck his weapon into the ground and got up.
Lance: I work for the royal guard, and right now I'm looking for someone.
Old man: Royal guard of which country?
Lance: The Divine Empire.
Old Man: well I don't see any queen around here.
Lance; I left her behind to come find this person, to prove I'm actually worth something.
Old Man: Well how are you gonna prove your good at what your doing, if your not even doing your primary job?
Lance: What?
Old Man: All you youngins are the same. Always off to adventure and danger and never looking at what sits in your own lap. Your a royal guard! Your job is to protect royalty, not goin out and searching out here in these backwoods for some random person.
Lance: but...
Old Man: Don't but me, mister! Or I might just have to kick yah phanny all over these woods!
Lance: Yes, sir...
Old Man: Now who would you be searching for? I'm pretty sure I know all the folks in this part of the woods.
Lance: I'm looking for the Master of the Swords.
Old Man: Been a long time since I've heard that title for him.
Lance: So you heard of him?
Old Man: Yeah, he's about fivr foot tall and just wiped your ass all over this grove.
Lance: Wait! your the Master of the Swords!
Old Man: Used to be atleast, until they striped that title from me.
Lance: So let me get this straight, the goverment wants to reinstate a clumsy old man!
Old Man: Reinstate! By god! I'd never work for those damned nobles again! Also, who you calling clumsy your the one who landed on the ground! Twice!
Lance: Well, either way I'm with yah until the empress comes here... so you got a place to crash?
Old Man: Yes, I do. By the way, I never got your name.
Lance: Oh, I'm Lance, Lance Wilder.
Old Man: of course a noble gets into the royal guard. Also hi. I'm Rhy, Rhy ne Dreconeus
Lance: Nice to meet you. So can you teach me some of those moves?
Old man: Well if you got some free time then...

Subchapter From Flam1n90 F1ght3r
Subchapter: Ascension
Crystian walked out of the room still frustrated at the disturbing truth he saw. Jack and Saphire took the book and walked after him and in order to make sure he doesn't do anything irrational. Once they came back to the center of the temple, Crystian went straight for the gem. He removed it and observed it in his hand. He began to feel strong, sharp bursts of energy flowing through his arm and then through his body. He looked up at Jack and Saphire who were standing there wondering what he could possibly be feeling. Once he looked down he didn't see the stone anymore, but yet he could still feel the imense energy pulsing through his body.
Crystian: What? Where did it go?
Saphire: Look!! It's in your arm!
Crystian: Huh!?
When he looked down he saw the gem shining brightly through his arm as began to spread it's aura across his entire body. Crystian began to unwillingly levitate due to the extreme transformation of power he was going through. He began yelling out in agony, due to the pain that was caused.
Saphire: *crying* What's happening to him? Jack! Do something!
Jack: Saph, I can't get close to him with that power surging like that. We'll have to sit through this and hope he can control it or else he might.....
Saphire: ... don't even say that. You know he can do it.
They continued looking up as Crystian still struggled with absorbing this new power. All of a sudden a second wing on the same side as the first began to flash in and out of existence and then stayed. The tattoo on his arm began glow a burning red and then shifted to a heavenly white. Crystian let out a giant roar with luminous light bursting from his being. Once this great battle cry of might subdued the light from within began to dim as if it were dying. He slowly began to descend from the air and Jack and Saphire ran to go catch him. The second wing disappeared and again and didn't come back and his tatto stayed the white color, as Crystian touched ground exhausted and soon unconscious.
Saphire: His arm! I wonder why it changed color?
Jack: We gotcha Crystian. Don't worry man, take it easy.
Saphire: What should we do? We can't go back to Sophronious like this.
Jack: We'll just wait it out some. He'll be back on his feet in no time at all. He just had a serious power trip, that's all. I believe he just acended. That's why his tattoo changed color.
Saphire: What's that?
Jack: Well, it's sorta complicated, but here I go... It's when an angel warrior has developed the required skill to become mature and rise to the next level. It's a natural thing, but his case, he ascended after absorbing the energy of that gem. Now I don't think he has naturally ascended yet, but only time will tell and if not, then he's got me beat on the power scale.
Saphire: Well, have you ascended?
Jack: Yeah, three times.
Saphire: What!?
Jack: Hehe, I'm old babe. I know a lot about the angels fighting arts because I've been around a long time. I was the leader of their elite fighting group. I've learned everything through time, but this guy right here is amazing. He's got a lot more years ahead of him and yet he's able to match me in a battle, well sorta.
Saphire: So then why aren't you up on the top of the rung?
Jack: Because low profile is my style. And on top of that I wouldn't have been able to meet a pretty face such as yours.
Saphire: *blushes* .........Hey! He's waking up!
Crystian: ughhhh....
Jack: Are alright man?
When Crystian gets up the first that Jack and Saphire notice that's different is the color of his eyes. They were a blank white.
Jack: Whoah! Dude!
Saphire: Crystian, why are your eyes different?
Crystian: *groggy* I don't know. What happened?
Jack: You mean to tell me that you don't know what just happened?
Crystian: No, and what are you talking about my eyes?
Crystian looks into Jack's shiny breastplate and sees his reflection revealing to him the ghost eyes that he seems to have adapted from his ascencion.
Crystian: Whoah! *jumps back*
Jack: I just said that, and you were sky high. How could you not know what just happened to you?
Crystian: I just...
Saphire:... Crystian, don't worry about it. Let's just get out of here and go back to the base.
Jack: Yeah, I agree, you need to rest.
Crystian: Ok, let's go then. We need to come back here though, I feel that there is something else we still don't know.
Jack: Agreed, just let's go back to base and report and we'll continue another time.
Exiting the temple, Crystian looked back and felt that something else was there that he needed to know. This was only the first part to what he was supposed to fully know. They took off and headed back towards the Phoenix Base in order to brief Sophronious on what had happened and what they found. They didn't find anything on Uesper or his whereabouts, but what just happened in the temple would have to suffice.
For some strange reason Crystian began wondering about Lance and what he's doing. He didn't care, but the thought came to him forcefully as though he was connected to him by some telekinetic string. He also began wondering about Rhine as well as Dalila and Rogue. He missed them all deep down, but didn't care to show it. He also wondered how Sophronious was gonna react to his eyes. Crystian also felt that he needed to talk with Jack on few things. Although he was unconscious, he heard what he said. After their briefing, this would be the first thing he talked to Jack about.
To be continued...
