Skylos felt odd being in a shadow...He wasn't sure exactly how to explain it...It was like being dragged under something...And there was a clear roof to see everything happening, but it was opague on the other side. I'm with you on that one.
The men and few women gathered at the platform. A man in more gold than the others appeared from the temple and then stood on the platform and cleared his throat.

"I'm guessing that's the great ruler of the village or something...."

Skylos nodded. It has to be...Perhaps this is some sort of tribe or smething...

"Likely...let's try to listen to what their saying...but if they start talking about some great ruler and sacrifices..."

Skylos nodded and listened in.
"...And we offer to our God this sacrifice of meat to appease him and in hopes of bringing us fertile soil, good crops, and rain..."
Skylos chuckled. You know, it occured to me that the reason it's so cold might be because it's winter... or maybe just a really cold day. If I recall, tribes with a lot of gold were actually down in Central America. These might actually be Aztecs...

"Heh it figures...Aztecs or Mayians, but Central America isn't known for their cold...atleast not that I'm aware of"

...Oh. Maybe this is the problem... Maybe there is a...uh...ice Demon that shouldn't be here somewhere? And I hope the Spanish don't land and we get caught up in that...
Someone then yelled from the beach. "Everyone! Come quick! There are giant, odd crafts approaching!"
Skylos smacked his forehead.

"Hold on it could just be the first time they come, they were harmless then, I mean until an army comes out and starts attackin people...."

"Again? How many ships this time?" One inquired.
"There are too many to count!" The first said.
Somehow, I don't think this is our day... We need to get somewhere else before we don't have any room to breathe. I think the weather is the problem. I mean, doesn't it feel colder to you?

Ponic nodded, "Ya, and as much as I'd hate to leave these people to a battle...if we mess with time we'll be the bigger problem, let's head elsewhere, but any destination in mind?"

Post by Skylos on May 29, 2009 20:59:01 GMT -5
Well. No. I mean... It could be anything that's messing with the weather. We need to find an aura, but I can only do that out of a shadow, so let's get somewhere nearby that's not populated for starters.

Ponic took a second to search for a good spot, "Got one." Ponic teleported them into a deserted part of the forest, nearbye a pond where some birds were comin to sit in the water, despite the cold. "Well, do your thing Caleb, search for that aura." Ponic said with a bit of a smile, he looked a bit, just incase...couldn't hurt right?

"Yes-sir-rie." Skylos proclaimed. His eyes turned yellow and he began to scan for auras. He figured there shouldn't be any around here, so it would be really easy to spot one. "Keep an eye out for any hunters."

"That's the easy part." Ponic laughed, he looked for anyone who'd be hiding, a distortion, a weapon edge, a discolouration in the forest...anything...

A rustle of some leaves was heard and then about ten of the hunters piled in around them with spears poised to attack. Skylos blinked. "I thought you said this was unpopulated!"

"It was until they ran here....well if they were speaking English five seconds ago...." Ponic called out to the other hunters, "We mean no harm to anyone."

"Um. They have our language because of the Light Prisms I have in my pockets...They translate automatically." Skylos noted.
"We don't believe you! You are those Spanish people and we are going to kil lyou as they have atatcked us! Charge!" They attacked them.
"Yikes!" Skylos mader fire in his hands and then they all jumped back. "He is a God! He can call up fire!" They all got down and began bowing to him. "Forgive us...We have been foolish oh God."

Ponic had charged shadow in his hands just incase, he dispersed it after they stopped Ponic shrugged, "This makes stuff easier...."

"Indeed..." Skylos muttered. "Um. You are all forgiven. Just go back to your villiage for now, and I'll come around to help in your fight." Not really... But we have to get rid of them.
"Yes oh wise one." And they all ran off, speedy as can be.
Skylos sighed. "Whew..."

"Heh they think you can use fire...haha if I used shadow they probably would've screamed that I'm a devil or something." Ponic joked, "Got anymore auras?"

"Heh. At least we know we can be evil back in the 1500's..." Skylos winked and then looked around some more. "...A faint one. We need to climb a mountain, it seems." He pointed to one not far away. The village was near it anyways. It was probably filled with gold.

"We can't just use our powers to get up there quicker? We've got to climb it?" asked Ponic

Skylos laughed. "No, we can teleport. It's not like that mountain in Japan..." (Argh! Steve's arc has been mentioned! *dies*) "We just don't want to teleport into danger, though. I think it is an Ice Demon... So We need to be careful."

"Alright, I won't send us full way up" Ponic nodded, Ponic teleported them close but not utterly to the top, if there was someone hiding there, they'd be able to see him from there
(oh no the arc of doom!) hehe

Skylos nodded and when he was up there, he ducked down on a ledge. "I can't see anyone... But I'm certain they're at the top. They must be at the tip top. Let's climb the rest."

Post by Ponic on May 29, 2009 21:46:45 GMT -5
Ponic nodded, he grabbed onto a rock and started climbing upwards, when he got closer he peaked just his eyes over the top to see if anyone was up there

A women dressed in a long blue silk robe was standing at the top. She was looking at the world around her. She had brown hair, blue eyes and a serene smile. She was also standing on an entirely icy top of the mountain.

Ponic ducked back down, "There's a women up there, she doesn't seem to be on the evil side, course that's usually hard to tell...she seems to be enjoying the view though."

Skylos scratched his chin. That's where the aura is coming from.... I'm not about to profile someone just because they look pretty.

"That's what I was thinkin...course the question is how do we figure it out...well besides the dangerous and obvious method of just walking up to her..."
