[Kookaburra]

I've hit a road block. I have no idea what to post!

 

[CJF]

bump

 

[Kookaburra]

If you read my post in the Christian (teen) forums (Need help . . . desperately), you'll understand why I don't feel much like posting.

 

[CJF]

I replied to your thread. And I will keep praying for you!

Okay, we do need more guys.

AGE: 34
GENDER: Male
DESCRIPTION:

WEAPONS: Usually uses a long sword, sometimes a bow.
TRANSPORTATION: Pure black stallion with a grey mane and tail, with white streaks through them.
PERSONALITY: Not usually talkative. He's more of a pop up then dissapear person. He'll answer your questions, but wont make any effort to start a conversation. He's polite in a silent kind of way, but is very lethal.
BIOGRAPHY: Hans was born in Germany, but his family moved to Engalnd when he was 12. His parent's both died of an illness that could not be treated. He went on his own, taught himself the sword and self deffense. He wasn't much of a social person to begin with, plus he had no one to talk to accept his horse. At age 31 he joined the gang of Robin Hood's. He has always been gratful to Robin for taking him in. Hans has just learned of Robin's whereabouts, and has set out to meet him, and join with him until he can repay Robin for his kindess. Although not outgoing, Hans can be a very friendly person, despite his snobby appearance.

 

[Kookaburra]

Aragorn? Snobby? Um . . . lol.

 

[CJF]

Yeah, that's a funny thought huh? lol. I just used the pivture, cause that's how I imagined him.

 

[Kookaburra]

We had to go to the immigration thing in the middle of the city (1 1/2 hours to get there by train), and the doctor who did our basic med. examination looked so much like Aragorn it's not funny! The eyes, mouth, sideburn-thingos, mustache, nose, everything! I just sat there laughing at my sister with my eyes because she noticed it too.

Arannte watched as her good friend, Rea, crept through the trees towards her. Rann's vantage point was excellent, having a good view of both the valley on either side, and the slope below her ledge, plus having the advantage of only being approachable from one place, a narrow path well-situated underneath her bow that wouldn't have been noticed except by the indian that Rea was or the tracker, Lanz.

Rea pulled up for a moment, sitting Gwanthi as she let her eyes flicker over the precipice on either side of the little dirt path, only three feet wide and exposed enough that a well-situated archer could pick her off easily.

Knowing that the well-situated archer was Rann, she didn't worry and crossed quickly, doubling back on a rock, evidenced only by a few scars from Gwanthi's steel shoes on the hard stone, almost impossible to follow.

Arannte smiled as Rea rode up, a pot of coffee boiling on a small, smokeless fire. "Coffee's almost ready, and Lanz will be here in a minute," she said, gesturing over the valley, where Lanz was crossing the same narrow point.

Rea accepted the coffee readily and sipped it gingerly.

Lanz appeared through the trees, and stopped at the rock, where he cast about for a moment before following Rea's route. He approached and 'hallood' camp before he dropped from the saddle.

"Rea's right, you can track a snake across a flat rock!" Rann grinned, shoving him a cup of coffee. "Drink some, we'll stay the night and then be off." Her face shadowed for a moment. "Where's Rebecca?"

"I think she was headed for France," Lanz said, a little more up-to-date than Rea, who exchanged glances with Arannte.

"So be it, I must fight my own fight . . . . "

Rea's eyes suddenly shone with an idea. "Let's go exploring!"

"Exploring?"

"South . . . south of Europe."

"That would be interesting, to say the least," Arannte said softly. "There's somewhere I've heard of, a land of spices and desert, of pyramids and palm trees."

"Egypt? What a fantastic idea! We'd be the first explorers to go there with more than just rumors."

"Let's prepare when we awake tomorrow. I'll take first watch." She emptied the dregs of her coffee and stood up slowly.

Lanz and Rea talked for some time, then fell asleep with the comforting silhouette of Rann hovoring on the edge of camp, prepared for any that might come, Rebecca, Robin, Edward or any of his men, who would no doubt follow them.

 

[CJF]

I have an idea about Rebecca, but I need to sort out how to write it. I'll be back on later, and then I'll write it.

 

[CJF]

As soon as the group had reached France, they headed out. Rebecca didn't mind at all. The sooner they got out of France the better...for her.

The next morning, the three explorers started off South.

WB!

KOOKABURRA'S CHARACTERS:
Arannte Joscet
Lanz Cisco

MY CHARACTERS:
Roxann Luven(Rebecca Stren is her alias)
Robin of Locksley
Edward
Realen(Rea) Tussac

Basically, there's this group out to find the Holy Grail. Prince Even in the leader. Rebecca and Robin( my characters) are in that group along with some others. Rea(mine), Arannte and Lanz(Kooks) are on they're way to Egypt, if I'm not mistaken. So far the group searching for the Holy Grail, are in France. I'm not sure where Arannte and her group are.

 

[EspressoDuck]

You and Kookaburra are the only ones that post here?

 

[CJF]

No, Grimr posts here to. I think he only has one character. Grimshack, I think, is his name. willwait4him started this thread, but he hasn't been on much. Even, is his main character. He has about for others. But Kook and I are about the only ones who post on here on a regular basis.

 

[CJF]

Blessed one has a few characters to.

 

[CJF]

As Edward and Kariana neared London, they were attacked by a group of bandits. Kariana was throne from her horse, and knocked unconciouss. When she woke up, she looked to her right and saw Edward on the ground next to her. As she became aware of the situation, she noticed he was laying in a puddle of blood. She crawled over to him.
"Edward?" she asked, her voice shaking. His eyes were closed, and his face was white. She searched for a pulse, but found none. She was suddenly gagged, and blindfolded. Her hands were tied in front of her. What seemed like day's went by, until the blind fold and gag were taken off. A rather handsom man stood infront of her her. He looked suprised, and caught off guard.
"Let her go." he said, and walked off. Kariana was cut from her bounds and escorted to London. There, she was given back her things and was left on the streets of London. She got a room in a hotel, where she stayed over the next few days.

 

[CJF]

NEW CHARACTER TO MAKE UP FOR EDWARDS ABSENCE:

NAME: Roger
AGE: 23
GENDER: Male
DESCRIPTION: Sun-bleached blonde hair, silver blue eyes, tanned skin.
PERSONALITY: Friendly to his allies, a deadly enemy.
AFFILIATION: A theif and murderer/assassin
WEAPONS: He mostly uses a bow and arrow. When needed, a sword.
HISTORY: He's been an orphan his whole life, and has been brought up in the way of murder and theivery. He's now the leader of a group working for a lead assassin. They steal for him, and kill whom he says to kill. If you don't, he'll wound you and leave you to die...slowly.

Kariana walked around town, thinking about Edward. She thought she'd felt a slight pulse. He'd been left on the road to die. And here she was, in London.

Roger rode into town, and stopped when he saw the girl he'd let go. Her beauty captivated him beyond description. He never knew he could feel this way about someone he didn't know. He decided to apologize about how she'd been treated. What am I thinking?! I'm a murderer! I'm not suposed to apologize for anything. With that, he decided to let it go. He rode his horse into town, glancing up at her. She looked up at him, and smiled. Unaware of who he was.

 

[Kookaburra]

cool.

~~~~~

"What now?" Rea asked, looking at Arannte, who turned half-towards her.

"We have to get supplies," Lanz added.

Arannte gazed steadily into the darkness. "We go to town tomorrow."

"Town?" gasped Rea, "They'll kill you!"

"No," Rann replied firmly. "They won't. Lanz just said we needed supplies, so we'll get them!"

"Then to Egypt!" They were all excited about the trip now.

~~~~~

Nightmare balked slightly and tossed her midnight head, eyes flickering red for a moment before she realized it was the familiar hand of Arannte that touched her.

They rode into the city at half-past eight in the morning, when the streets were full of bustle and carriages. She turned to Rea. "Right, here's where we split up. You two get the new weapons and foodstuffs, while I go get information. Meet me behind the inn at two o'clock."

Rea looked concerned. "What are you going as, in case I have to ask?"

Rann shrugged. "A person passing through -- mercenary -- riding a jet horse with an evil eye, under the name Rann."

Then she was gone, melding into the midday throng. She was so used to moving through these that she didn't mind the jostling and shouting. She caught sight of Kariana, and instantly faded back into a side street. She didn't want to be seen here as Arannte. No use getting caught and having to chop her way out of another jail cell. Last time she'd dont that, it'd taken her four hours. She didn't want to challenge her longest record.

The dining-hall was open, and she slipped in. Her dark garb set her apart, but she didn't mind. Everyone here was different. Outside, Nightmare pawed the street.

~~~~~

Have to go, get off. Halfway done exams. Cya!
