Single Author Stories / The Legend of Traax ( Part II )
« on: May 29, 2002, 02:54:44 pm »
Years have passed... Galeran, at the top of his power is now a powerful sorcerer...
Laanx\'s Yliakum temple has been finished, and the bells have rang for many \"holy\" comings of
Laanx\'s avatar, now called DarkenClaw by Laanx\'s followers...
   
                                            *
                                          *   *

In the darkness of some secret sub-cave in Yliakum, a calm but strong voice speaks :
\"This task has been successfuly accomplished. You deserve my consideration Traax...\"
Suddenly, a ray of light coming from Laanx\'s temple lights the entrance of the cave...
A piece of silver with a mouth drawn on it, and a small platinium dagger shone in the dark...
\"My Godness, it is my duty to follow your orders. But I have a special request to ask for...\"
\"Go on... Maybe I\'ll grant it to you...\"
\"I ask the permission to keep an eye on Galeran. You must certainly have heard about...\"
The voice interrupts Traax :\"Granted ! And by the way... if you find it, destroy it. It must never be shown to anyone...\".
Without a word, Traax, raised his right hand ; a ring glowed in the dark... The illusion wall hiding the cave disappeared an Traax began to walk in the direction of the temple... As a priest, he had the authorization to live there. He was living in a small three-room, including a bedroom, a living room and a library. During the ten past years, he became one of Laanx\'s hightest servants... The young unfaithful lemur had turned into Laanx\'s High sacrificer... This title had been earned the role he had in the battles between Laanx\'s and Talad\'s followers ; with more than a hundread victims, Traax was Laanx\'s first defender.
As he entered the temple, a shiver of pleasure covered his back... Long time hated Galeran would now be dead in a few days... As he passed before Laanx\'s representative\'s appartements, a smile appeared on his face. Even if Traax would take a particular pleasure in killing Galeran, he was also acting for Laanx. The wizard had grown very powerful... rumors stated that he had his own temple built and protected by a magic as strong as a god\'s... located in the Stone Labyrinths !
Galeran had gone too far this time...  In Traax\'s mind, he digged his own grave.
Traax entered his appartements and layed on his bed. Sleep came... And so did nightmares, remembering Traax all his victims\' faces...
The day after, Traax got up early. According to his agents, Galeran was supposed to meet the
Xachas still in the Labyrinth ; Traax knew he wouldn\'t. Opening a small chest, he got a dark
ring, with a crown and a dagger on it, out from the chest. Sliping the ring on his finger,  he
felt really lighter. He looked himself into the mirror, and was not fully visible... The ring of
concealment Laanx had offered him was working really well, even after two years of intensive use.
Traax silently opened the door and rushed for the temple\'s entrance, where Galeran Tarbius should
be waiting for his personnal escort to start his annual journey to the Xacha\'s camp.
When Traax entered in the entrance hall, Galeran was just living. Traax followed him silently. Galeran didn\'t even noticed it. At one of the multiple hidden entrance of the labyrinths, Galeran raised his hand. A ring similar to Traax\'s shone and the cave\'s wall disappeared. Traax entered in the Labyrinths quickly. The magical wall re-appeared. Traax was now alone in the mythic Stone Labyrinths. Galeran would pay his offense to Laanx\'s power.

                                          *   *

Darkness. That\'s what Traax thought, as he was going deeper and deeper in some unknown area of
the Labyrinths... Galeran had really nothing to do there, and the Xacha\'s old camp was on the opposite side of the Labyrinths. At least, a light appeared. It was magic light. A magic light ?
In a civilisation-less part of the Labyrinths ?! As Traax was following Galeran and entering a huge cave, he thought he would loose his mind. A forest of giants trees, in such a place ?!
Incredulous, Traax saw a river, that Galeran was crossing using a wooden bridge. He followed the traitor, who was now at the edge of the forest. Suddenly, a shadow jumped from a tree and appeared before the traitor. Traax, who was quite far of Galeran did not understood what they were saying. As they were talking, they walked in the forest, but Traax did not dare to follow them. Now he had lost Galeran, he knew the traitor\'s death would no be for that day.
Wondering were the light could come from, he looked at the end of the cave, but saw nothing because of the giants trees. So he decided to climb a tree to see the end of the cave...
For a lemur, that wasn\'t really an easy task. Two times smaller than a normal Xacha, Traax had got lot of problems to get to the top of the tree. Sweating, he finally had a look at the end of the cave...

While Traax was working, in some dark corridor of the Stone Labyrinths, a dark-skined lemur was talking to Traax\'s father, Laanx\'s hight priest Veron...
\"So, Veron, you think he is ready by now ?\" \"My Lord, I\'m sure he is\"  respectfully replied Veron.
\"Well, in this case... I\'ll be there tomorow. Anything else to ask me ?\"
\"No my Lord, I\'m fine. May the success be with you...\"
\"Ever doubted of me ?\" As he smiled, the lemur began to disappear in the fog of the Labyrinths...
No more than a minute latter, Veron, left alone said \"And may the success be with you my son...\"
   
                                            *
                                          *   *

In the camp, the atmosphere was unuasally hot. Two hours latter, Galeran had ordered the nightworkers to go back in their tent and was now inspecting the camp. Anxious, Traax was waiting in the tavern, drinking some Darkberries Liqueur. A good-looking Xacha smiled at him. Her name was Elya, and she was about his age. He just couldn\'t bear her, but for reasons unknown of Traax, she seemed to be in love with him. He replied by smiling and thought \"she\'s so stupid...\"...
At this moment, Laanx\'s unfinished temple bells began to ring. The biggest bell, proudly called \"tempest\" by it\'s creator was ringing at an inimaginable speed...
As a shadow was appearing in the camp, magic fires began to illuminate the darkest corners of the cave... Then, a lightning bolt blinded everybody in the camp for a few seconds... In the middle of the camp, where a pentacle had been drawed, a dark-skined lemur was standing. Another lightning bolt, and Galeran appeared, kneeling before the cryptic lemur...
\"Stand up Galeran...\" said the lemur, with a high-pitched but calm voice.
Galeran stoud up and said :
\"My Lord, I am glad to show you Yliakum\'s Laanx Camp and future temple...\"
\"You\'ve done good work\" and the lemur began to move forward to the crowd wich had gathered around the pentacle. Traax was among the crowd, just like all the camp\'s occupants...
The dark-skined lemur pointed his arm at Traax and said \"You ! Come to me now !\"
Traax, intrigated by all those events replied :
\"Who are you anyway ? you don\'t think I\'m going to obey the first fool I see just because he his a friend of Galeran\'s, do you ?\"
\"A long time ago I used to be called Laanx... You really lack respect for your godness... Maybe your parents gave up your education a bit early... ?\"

Traax Sharpenblade :  Laanx\'s highest servant

Traax sharpenblade... Oh, now you\'re talking of him, I can remember quite a lot about him. Who was he ? Well... part of his job could be explained by his name.... He was Laanx\'s hight Sacrificer... Why ? How ? Well, young fellow, I guess it is a quite long story...
   
                                            *
                                          *   *
 
The Crystal was shining over Yliakum. Traax stretched his arms and grunted. Another day of work, another day of hard labour... And the temple was not even built yet. Traax was bored. He had been sent by his parents, priests of Laanx, to follow the Xacha. Sent to Yliakum by parents worshipping a godness he had never seen, and ruled by stupid humanoids under the domination of the fanatic Galeran... World could not be worse.
Traax got up and decided to head straight for the building site. Passing before the other tents, he noticed much agitation in the camp, wich was normally quite and peaceful. During the night, Laanx\'s standards had been left and could now be seen far away from the camp. Traax wondered where could all this agitation come from. He decided to pass by the \"tavern\", a big word for a small brown tent. As he pushed the small piece of cloth wich was standing as a door, he recognized the inimitable smell of the Darkberries liqueur, mixed to the exhalation of decaying gazebo\'s meat, a very fashionable meal that Traax had always found disgusting.
A fast look at the tables confirmed his toughts : the barkeeper, Nurly \"LiqueurTank\" Libster was already there. He went to the bar and asked for some flower-flavoured water. Going straight to the point, he asked Nurly : \"What\'s all this about ? I mean, the standards, the murmurs... It\'s the first time I see the camp so animated !\" Nurly, with his loud and friendly voice, very loud for a Xacha, replied :
\"Laanx\'s coming tomorow to see the state of the building site... Galeran\'s very excited, and has ordered that the camp and building site should look as clean as possible... I guess it is not the only reason. Rumors are saying that Laanx should choose among us some of her future servants...
And nearly all of my fellows will try to be chosen by Laanx... They don\'t know what they\'ll have to suffer if they\'re chosen by the masqued godness...\" \"What do you mean by suffer ?\" asked the young lad. \"Having to work in here isn\'t a suffering anymore ?\" Nurly looked the young lemur in the eyes and said this :\"You don\'t know what suffering is. Now go, you\'ve some work left at the building site\". Traax turned back and went out without a word. He knew most Xachas didn\'t considered him as egal but priviliged because a was lemur, but Nurly had gone too far...
\"Didn\'t know what pain was\" ? He had surely suffered more pain that all those devoted idiots.
Grumbling, he walked to the building site, preparing himself for another day of \"unpainful\" labour...

No offense taken :)
I only use vc++ because it\'s a quick and easy ( generally ) and also quite safe way to compile projects :)

The filelist for CEL seems empty on sourceforge / CEL site  :rolleyes:
As I am very bad at coding, can you explain me how to make VC++ use Cspace libs ?  :rolleyes:

I want to compile the win32 ps server, but not the client.
So i opened the server project ( apppserver.dsp ) under VC++ 6 and i tried to compile...
It asked me for some header files ( pl/entity.h ; pl/pl.h ; pl/persist.h ) but i don\'t know where to find them :-\\
VC++6 is bundled with DX5 SDK so i think i\'ve no problems from direct X...
I d\'ont have C Space installed, but i don\'t think it is really useful ( is it ?)  because i do not compile the client...

Can anyone help please ?
