Hydlaa Rebillion

[Duraza]

At the fountain in Hydlaa's plaza Coneitic, Gwinn, and Duraza sit speaking to each other

"Times have changed in this city since you both were here." Duraza says.

"We have the gods to blame for that," Coneitic says while holding his claymore.

"Yes its time we do something about it," Gwinn says as she stands up.

Both Coneitic and Duraza look at Gwinn and then Coneitic speaks, "Like what?"

"We fight. Get the people of Hydlaa on our side. Together we will fight the gods," says Gwinn.

Duraza thinks about it for a moment then says, "She is right. It is the gods who have all the power. They keep it to themselves, greedy as a hungry beast while eating supper.

Coneitic stands, then Duraza slowly gets up as well, "Then let the revolution start," Coneitic says.

Duraza pulls out a book from under his robes, "The Book of Law. We can use this as a way to fight agaisnt the gods. If was written by one of their own, only now that same god is banished forever."

Gwinn and Coneitic nod in agreement and all three stand, their purpose to overthrow the gods who have ruled far too long.

[OOC:

Firstly the book of law will be viewable online at this link. It is seperated first into 10 chapters and then 10 laws (not done yet)

Second, if you want to join the Revolt all you must do is approach Gwinn, Coneitic, or myself ingame or on the fourms.]

[Coneitic]

Coneitic shouts from the bottom of his lungs:

"Denounce the ones you call gods. It is you who gives them the power to create this miserable world. "

"Your devotion, your worship, your trade skills and quest, they mean nothing to the true power you posses."

"Your prayerss and ignorance to the so called quest and training only further their amusement."

"It is time to denounce your loyalty, take back the power you give them and use it to create a better world,
you spend your days mining, crafting and training for what? To make more money to buy better weapons to use these weapons
to turn it upon your fellow brother or sister"

"We all have the power to make everything we want, everythign we want for us, for our families for our enjoyment at our disposal.
Yet we waste it away on these so called gods"

"I have seen the power of them and am not afraid, they only use our power against us! We are mere puppets in their play and the time for revolution has come"

" I say to you once again denounce these gods, and hold the power to yourself and make a better life for yourself."

"Are these just gods? many have spilled blood on my dagger, my sacks full of trias from victums, yet i see no justice? I stand before you today free of prosecution, free of fear."

"The time for revolution has come. Do not fear that which you give power to, you can revoke that power and use it to create utter Utopia in a split second. Let us end these childish games these puppetmasters play on us day in and day out"

[Coneitic]

*Duraza heads to the plaza to meet up with Coneitic*


*After the crystal fades out.... He realizes Coneitic isnt coming....*

[Duraza]

Duraza walks into the plaza and takes a seat by one of the trees. After sitting for a while he notices a diabolo staring at him, so he gets up and appraches him.

"Any reason for staring at me?" Duraza says.

Orgonwukh takes a gulp from the mug he was holding before responding, "Hmm, well I just wonder brother..."

"Wonder what?"

Orgonwukh shrugs, "I was a witness of this...'commotion' about the gods recently..."

Duraza smiles darkly "And let me guess, you wonder if it was true."

Orgonwukh chuckles "No. Actually I just wonder what makes a man offend the so-called-gods in the open..."

"Well thats obvious. Hate."

Orgonwukh grins "Oh, so easy, eh? Well, hate can be very sublte, too."

Duraza clenches his staff looking at Orgonwukh curiously "I wonder if you understand what I was saying about the gods."

"Hmmm, let me reconsider. The gods are just mortals with great powers. And they force the citizens to act as they wish. When you cut off their support you kill the gods..."

"Basically yes."

Orgonwukh shrugs "So, why do you offend a powerful invisible entity in the open?"

Duraza pulls a book from his robes "The Book of Law" written on its cover "Because I wish to envoke the god's hate. I want to see their powers and learn how they work.  All strengths can be found in magic. Think of it this way, Talad created the kran right? But he needed the crystal's help to do so."

Orgonwukh chuckles "I do not believe in books contents. History was written by religious fanatics. Lies within lies. I only believe what I see." Then he takes another gulp from he mug.

Duraza nods "I understand. Instead look at the world you see. Men who fight and try to become more powerful just for the sake of being able to kill. Yet they praise the gods for giving them life. For what reason then to bring death? The gods are laughing I bet. Laughing at the foolishness of mortals."

Orgonwukh grins "I agree, so still I ask you: Why do you offend them openly? Do you kill a powerful fighter by clashing into him? Or do you stab him in the back, rather?"

"I offend them openly in hopes that the mortals of this world will hear me. That they will understand the weakness of the gods and join me. To fight them we can not hide. And since their power is so unknown stabbing them in the back is immpossible. We know not their limits."

Orgonwukh nods "This is the way we Diaboli understand it. But faith within the other races is strong in these days. I think it needs more that some shouting at the plaza to confirm the citizens in this concern..."

"Yes I have realized this."

Orgonwukh shrugs "But who am I to judge this... I am not a god-killer, just a simple mercenary..."

"I am no god-killer either. However what I can do is destroy what connects gods to their people. Religion. But to do that I will need many. I still have few."

Orgonwukh chuckles "Destroying religion, eh? You seem not to be afraid of challenges..."

"Why fear the challenge? You'll never beat what you back away from....still massive numbers will be needed...unless...

Orgonwukh tilts his head "Hmm, I already asked the Menki who was with you ... Coneitic was the name, I think... What will you do once the gods are dead?"

Duraza smiles darkly "Well that depends on if I can truely kill the gods...If so I shall share their powers with all. All will live equally and from then on the fate of death will no longer exist. And I just had a brilliant idea..."

Orgonwukh looks curiously at Duraza while taking another gulp of liquor

Duraza looks at Orgonwukh "The followers needed. The only raes that serve no god. The diaboli and the kylcros. I can gather the two, and we can stand together against the gods. As our numbers grow others will join.."

Orgonwukh nods "I also know some Enkis who do not believe... But to get back to your idea of tricking death... what do you mean? You could choose an eternal life in death realm still..."

Duraza smiles darkly "According to the book I hold Death is not just a state of being but its almost like a diety itself. It is trapped within the Realm of Death but sometimes it escapes into the mortal Realm, and that is when someone dies. However there is a third Realm, that of the gods, free of death. That is where all people will live equally."

Orgonwukh laughs "Yes, a big happy family of immortals! How nice would that be?"

"Or at least of my followers. Not every mortal will come to my side but I shall lead those who do to this realm of the gods. I just need to find the way to acces it."

Orgonwukh chuckles "And this all stands in your book? Who wrote it, if I may ask?"

"It is said by a Xacha village I discovered in the Labrinyth that this book was written by a lost god. One named Tiren."

Orgonwukh smiles at Duraza "I think I understood your motives and the way you try to achieve your goals, brother. Well figured out, really."

Duraza nods "Then tell me, shall you stand with me? Or do you just ask from curiosity?"

Orgonwukh smiles wryly "I am always curious. Especially when it concerns religious matters. And since I am Diaboli, too, I see when the motives are not the ones spoken out..."

Duraza raises an eyebrow "Hmm...What are you trying to say?"

From that moment on both men speak in whispers for a while. Afterwards both nod their heads, agreeing on something before departing.

[Duraza]

Duraza stands on a hill outside of Hydlaa. After 5 minutes he spots two men aproaching him, one Demorian and the other Menki. As they finally reach him all three stand for a little, in silence, before Duraza speaks.

"Did you have to bring a bodyguard Xeonart?" He says pointing at the menki.

Xeonart looks to Goleus before turning to face Duraza, "I think I did. The fact is I don't think I trust you enough to approach you by myself, especially out here. With someone else I feel I have the advantage." Meanwhile Goleus stays quiet, watching Duraza, his hands on his sword hilts.

Duraza nods, "Ok your choice I guess. Now as for my proposition."

"You want to help me. Why? After all I thought we hated each other."

"Yes. However I'm willing to put old enemies aside. Slowly I am putting my plans into action. I know you are doing the same."

"And?"

"Well I think both plans would work well if they were joined, don't you? It makes much more sense for us to ally with each other than to fight ourselves and everyone else."

"Is that why...why you killed him?"

"Yes. A gift meant to help you see things my way."

Goleus suddenly speaks, "I don't trust him, not one bit."

Xeonart sighs "Niether do I. However...he's right. No matter how much i hate to say it his plans will benifit us as ours will him. Also why fight each other when we have much more to worry about."

Duraza smiles darkly, "So you agree?"

Xeonart nods, "I am disappointed with the idea but an alliance will help us both."

Goleus looks at Xeonart, "Are you sure?"

"We have no choice."

"Of course you don't," Duraza says. "It is the only sensible solution to both of our problems."

[Duraza]

Duraza stands alone thinking to himself.

"This will take more effort than I thought...perhaps I should wait...gather slowly and wait for the perfect time to strike again."

[yes...things have been slow so I'm going to continue to keep them slow and build up gradually. I will try to do something significant to the rp at least once a week though to help to continue to build it  ]

[Duraza]

Xeonart approaches Duraza on the same hill outside of Hydlaa as the one in their last meeting.

"I'm glad you decided to come Xeonart. It seems luck is in our favor. Both are goals will come soon."

Xeonart rolls his eyes, "How can you be so sure? Most likely your just trying to trick me..."

Duraza laughs darkly, "No. The time of darkness will soon be at hand....Still I wonder, what do you seek in the darkness?"

"I could ask the same thing about you."

"You don't miss much do you Xeonart?"

Xeonart nods, "Which reminds me. According to one of my Knights you came in contact with Noriin and Velh...during which you showed the something they said looked like an odd white glowing sphere?"

"So what of it?"

Xeonart frowns, "You idiot...You know the dangers of those things.....You can't start playing with them like that!"

"You know as well as I that eventually it won't matter any longer.."

Xeonart blinks and for a moment he stands still in shock. Then he speaks, "So...its sprouted already.."

Duraza nods, "It matters not though. In the darkness I will find what I need."

"And what if the hunters come for you? They are still out there, we both saw them..."

Duraza smiles darkly, "Xeonart do you know what I seek in the darkness?"

"What?"

"Maybe you should read the Book of Tiren. Its very intresting really...."

Xeonart rolls his eyes, "Not that pretend story again...whats so special about it?"

"I hardly find it just a book created by ones imagination...and the chapters I was missing were most intresting.."

"Missing chapters?"

"Yes, I now have the complete book....And let me tell you...there are truths that lay in darkness....truths that I plan to find."

Xeonart looks at Duraza in confusion before deciding to drop the topic.

"You better be right about this.." Then Xeonart walks off.

"Ohh but I am....I most certainly am."

[the missing chapters Duraza was talking about will be added to the online edition in the next couple days....I'll make sure to mention when they are there..]

[Duraza]

[firstly just a heads up that the last chapters of the book were made and its finished. You can read the whole thing at that same link. Secondly I wanted to say is while this rp isn't "dead" I'm going to be chaning it a bit to make it work better. Some things happened IC and I decided to just go with them  ]
