Amaya (played by Amadeu5_M0zar1)

(by Akiro do you mean Amaya?)

Amaya stood at a ready stance, she could feel the signs of her foe, and knew that they wouldn't escape in time.
Amaya (played by Amadeu5_M0zar1)

Amaya drew her sword and raised her shield. With her experience with such creatures she ordered her companions not to attack. Metal will melt under the creature's flame. Siera attacked the beast for her fireproof scales were immune, but she would not be strong enough to concur it.. Amaya had grabbed her bag before the attack and began to pull out a rope that was made of very strong interwoven dragon hair, also fireproof and handed it to the knights.

"Tie up the beast! Mayor, tell the villagers to get water, NOW! Once the beast has been doused we'll have a clear shot to the heart."

All the townspeople gathered by the nearby lake and starting filling their CONVENIENTLY had buckets with water, and began splashing the demon. This removed it's flame shield and weakened it. Damage: 3,000.
Dadj Avers (played by f0x1nth3b0x)

Dadj stood around watching the heroics take place and fluidly removed his bow with a cocked arrow. He pulled back his string and instinctively aimed for the beasts heart.
Amaya (played by Amadeu5_M0zar1)

Amaya motioned at Dadj to Siera and she understood, removing herself just as the shot was taken.

The demon was struck precisely in the heart, dealing a critical hit of 9,999 damage. The fire demon died slowly and painfully, and everyone was saved. Deep underground, Alphanus was quite irritated that his subordinate failed him. The former townspeople were quite relieved, and the knights were still shaken by the greater fire demon's appearance there, but soon recovered from the shock.

"I believe we should be off for the capital, then."

The knight in lead motioned for the other knights and those summoned to come with him.
Amaya (played by Amadeu5_M0zar1)

Amaya jumped upon Siera's back and motioned her hand towards Dadj.

"It's either this or walking"

Siera snickered, awaiting his displeasure. But she could still feel the evil presence, and so could Amaya.
Dadj Avers (played by f0x1nth3b0x)

He sheathed his bow and reluctantly stepped toward the sneering dragon and her companion. He climbed onto the awkward perch he'd claimed earlier and sat in silence. He made the trip without much sound and his only movement was to steady himself when Siera made unnecessary and unforeseen movements.

Throughout the entire world, tension was mounting rapidly. The capital of the great kingdom was no exception, however it broke for a spell when Amaya, Dadj, and Siera arrived...however, the citizens were perplexed as to the fourth hero's absence. Nonetheless, cheers could be heard from every able-bodied man, woman, and child. The knight escort signaled them to continue towards the royal palace, where they would be brought up to speed and briefed.
Amaya (played by Amadeu5_M0zar1)

Amaya entered the familiar palace, a second home if you will. Many times she was briefed here but she never saw the high priests in person. Their secrecy was great. Amaya entered a room with many chairs, a piano, and a stage. The room was used for entertainment and briefings. Siera had gone around and her head now enter threw a window. Amaya sat down at the piano and began to play, a favored pastime of her's. The song began slow but beautiful, like a summer day, then became fast and angered, beautiful from power, and then began to end with a bittersweet tune of loss. Escaping Amaya's notice, Dadj had been escorted within, soon after she began to play.
Dadj Avers (played by f0x1nth3b0x)

He sauntered in behind her keeping his distance between the guards escorting him. He carried himself stiffly, ill at ease in this kind of place. Authority had never sat well with him and his mind was wandering back to a long, long time ago when he'd been much younger and possibly on a different plane; it was hard to keep track of these things. But at that time he'd just evaded capture by a dragon-creature and wrecked half the capital.

Dadj noticed the music after his reverie ended and he was dumped back into this reality. He stared at Amaya's back wondering why she felt the need to start playing a song in the middle of these proceedings. It seemed rather out of place and his snort said so. Sweeping his gaze from her, he let his eyes wander the rest of the room, juuuust in case.



((Can we please get a description of our surroundings when we change scenes? It makes reacting in it much easier :) ))
Dadj Avers (played by f0x1nth3b0x)

Dadj eyes her suspiciously and an amused grin curled his lips when the spread of emotions crossed her face. He'd finished his intake of the room and found his most favorable exit in a servant's door behind a tapestry on the wall. Standing at length made him less comfortable and he weighed his options to stay versus running. As he shifted to dart toward the hidden door, the chamber boomed in the voice announcing their host.

A full brass section began playing the royal fanfare, as the great King Luther, revered by all in his kingdom that spans nearly the entire world, was ushered into the room.

"All hail Great King Luther!"

The king stepped in, and towards his guests without delay. He wore a large vermilion robe, trimmed with gold, and a large gold crown encrusted with diamonds, rubies, emeralds, and sapphires. He had a large, white, with a hint of gray, bushy handlebar moustache, and no beard. He appeared to be in his early sixties. He then initiated conversation with the four.

"It is no doubt a blessing that you could assemble here today. As you hopefully know by now, everything that exists in in mortal danger."

(Thank you! I will proceed, then.)

Mink had been traveling in this region - one of her solitary adventures, you might say. But when she had witnessed (from a safe distance) the town being destroyed by seemingly natural disasters, and the demons that attacked along with them, well..her curiosity had been awakened. She began tailing these people, who had apparently been summoned to the capitol to see a king of some sort. After their arrival, she slipped in behind them in her dragon form, (allowing her to be tiny so as not to be noticed). Finding a good hiding spot, she settled down to eavesdrop on the "heroes," as she had been calling them in her mind, and what this king had to say. She chuckled quietly as Great King Luther mentioned "mortal danger," thinking,

Isn't everything always in mortal danger?

"Let us not dawdle around pointlessly. You have witnessed the disasters plaguing this world, I trust. Usually around this time of the year, there is no volcanic activity at all, yet that volcano erupted without much warning. You may be thinking, 'Well, it's just a random act of nature, it's nothing to fret about.' However, this may be tied to the recent self-resurrection, for the most part, of the horror which we never wanted to see again. Our grand sorcerers and high wizards sensed a gargantuan surge of evil energy that could only point to this. The horror in question is the supreme God of Darkness, Alphanus. He's not just another evil god, he is the SUPREME ruler and god of all darkness on this world, and every other world there is. After his last defeat, a seal of power we believe that could rival even his strength was placed where it was believed he would revive next. We were right about the location, but we may have been wrong about the seal's strength, hence the disasters. Such, we need those who have any hope of defeating him to find him, and destroy him again. You may be wondering why we picked you all. Simple - we believe that you may be the only ones with even the slightest glimmer of hope of defeating him. Most of my knights are to frightened about the very idea of facing Alphanus, and I question their loyalty towards me and their people because of said fear, and so I sent a elite squad to find those hand picked
by the wizards and sorcerers, and gather them here. They(the sorcerers/wizards, not the knights)saw a certain quality about you who are before me today that had shown a certain resistance to the corruption that Alphanus can instill in the hearts of men and women,
and cause them to become his slaves. Needless to say, you cannot be corrupted under any circumstances. Please, you are the only ones who can bring salvation to us all from this abomination. Will you aid us in our hour of need?"

By the tone of his words, genuine desperation could be heard. King Luther was frantic and desperate in finding heroes in the darkest hour the world may ever know.

Mink, hearing the end of the speech, quickly jumped from her secret high-up hiding place, twirling downward, finally landing gracefully in her anthro form right in front of this King Luther. Grinning mischievously, making sure he saw her fangs, she bowed low, then looked sharply back up at him, the ghoulish smile still plastered on her face. This perhaps unwelcome guest thus replied,
"I accept."

Luther was undoubtedly dumbfounded at this intrusion.

"Who are you?!? GUARDS, SEIZE HER!"

At once, a troop of guards stormed into the room and surrounded Mink, brandishing long swords of white mythril.
Mink (played by Minkja)

She faltered at the abruptness, but quickly reached into her infini-bag, bringing out her sword, ready to take every guard down singlehandedly. She wondered how anyone would find someone exactly four feet tall a great threat, but she shrugged it off.
"Hey, now. I just agreed to supply my services. For free. Don't you know who I am, youn-I mean..old man?" She glared up at all the guards surrounding her, a growl rising in her throat. "If any of you value your lives, I suggest you back the hell up." At this, she prepared to change back into her dragon form if things got nasty.
