VENTURES INTO THE REMOTE (RP)

Daugo chuckled internally at 'young one'. He wasn't old, but it had been fifteen years since his thirty-third birthday, and he was definitely no longer in his prime. "Daugo Burgins, at your service," he said, bowing slightly.
 
Hering would start to walk around the room, looking at each body, either alive or dead. Where were they? His squadron? His men? "Where are they!" He'd cry out. A wave of shock and panic coming over him
 
"There we are," Lasser muttered as the food and drink arrived. It was pasty bread with some red liquid that smelled delicious like fine wine.

"A'right, Arandil Leonor and Thoruk Ironbeard. Now. We 'ave a bit of a predicament 'ere, now wouldn't ya say?"

Iver began to pick up speed and soon his legs raced through the earth like a trailblazer. He found himself following the trail of blood that led into the forest and soon was sprinting up towards Miriel. There was a cliff ahead and Iver needed to slow down lest he takes a tumble into the abyss.

"Oh, come in. Come in." The Admiral motioned to his seat. "Please. Would you like anything? Perhaps tea?"

----------

Two men rushed to Hering's sides to restrain him. They were saying something but he could not hear. All he saw were silent mouths moving. Arcturus was staring at him with disdain. On the beds, other men began to awake yet most remained asleep or dead. Who knew. What was done was done. Who could he blame for this?

----------

Time slowed but not enough. Marco's body vanished within an expanding ray of outbursting light that flared brighter than the sun.

"FUCKING KILL THE-" Was that the Screamer's voice he heard through his mind? Cardiloc was too dazed in this slow-state and he felt tired enough as it was.

The Serpent was swiveling through the air, its body spinning above the forests of Anorien. It managed to twist around in the air and grab Tytus in its jaws but missed Berethor who was too far. Cardiloc saw the Armoured Shifter struggle, his face a mask of panic before his eyes were blinded by the blast. Even though his eagle was blind he could hear the deafening roar through his own ears. Such was the piercing noise.

The slow crackle of lightning erupted through the air and a thunderous WHAAAAAAAAAAAAA-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM echoed throughout the region.

It blanked.

-----------

Vardamir nodded in silence. They continued riding for the next thirteen minutes before the ground rumbled to the north-west. Their heads turned to the forest of Anorien and Sigeric sighted something beyond the tree-tops far in the distance. It could not be. Were his eyes deceiving him?

"Is that the Behemoth?" Helvion asked the question aloud.

---

Cardiloc awoke inside the sweaty folds of his eagle. He was alive? Where was...? None of the thing's senses worked yet the body was neither healing nor decaying or so he could surmise.

Hering would go to fight back when he noticed it was only his allies. He'd breath a silent sigh of relief, still in shock, yet what were they saying? Why was Arcturus looking at him like that? The cunt. "I can't hear you!" Hering would yell, not noticing how loud he's being.
 
Cardiloc tried to peel away from the eagles form, it had no use to him anymore. Looking around he wondered... is this the afterlife? Where was he?
 
Iver kept on running, falling off the cliff and smashing into the stones down, only his nose broken due to the laws of physics Iver slowed down until he reached few steppes behind Miriel. He stood there quietly for a moment before saying "I am sorry Miriel".
 
Arcuturs merely shook his head and said something to the men. They guided Hering back to the bed and were indicating for him to sit down with their hands.

-------------

"So, I've heard conflicting statements on your reasons for being here. Why did you seek us out?" Lasser asked them.

-----------

"Your apology means jackshit, Iver." Miriel said staring over the edge of the cliff.

[user avatar="https://cravatar.eu/helmavatar/assassiniv/74.png" name="assassiniv"]14628767[/user]

-----------

Cardiloc was sweaty and suddenly he felt sunlight fall upon him. The darkness that surrounded him dissipated as the folds of skin above him opened. He saw orange rays of sunlight spread across the sky. Was this the end?

[user avatar="https://cravatar.eu/helmavatar/UnusualBrit/74.png" name="UnusualBrit"]12700073[/user]
 
Cardiloc slowly got up, and breathed the fresh air in. He’d climb out of the nape and then looked around at where he was.
 
The Forochelrim stiffles an exclamation. Grating his teeth, Dimitri responds, "Not... giving up... this... easily... Teli..." After those words, he metallizes the fist of his unharmed arm into steel, and drives a punch forward into the gut of his attacker.
-----------------
Could they still have been there after all this time? For Marco, 11 months he could understand quite well, but Eonwe? Surely he of all people would have healed or whatever he needed to do by now. Speaking of Marco, he should really take time to visit h-

"Behemoth?" Ha'zi repeated the word, confused. What was the ranger talking about? Referring to Daugo, for some reason? "What'd you say about the Behemoth, Helvion...?" His question became lingering as Ha'zi spotted exactly what the rest saw. "N-no... that's... I must be dreaming..."  Then as his gaze, too, lingered, he spoke again, becoming exasperated, "No! There's no way... we did everything... How?!" Not fully understanding if this was real or fantasy, the Haradrim recklessly began to ride towards the Giant, his horse thundering after it.
 
Sigeric exhaled, staring at the giant. "Bloody hell..." His eyes did not leave that point on the horizon, as he replied to Helvion. "We just left Daugo at Osgiliath, if you weren't paying attention." He paused. "That..." he pointed towards the figure, "...is the Leviathan." But what was he doing here?! Before Sigeric could fully evaluate the situation or form any plan, Ha'zi's horse rushed passed him, galloping towards Marco's giant. He was surely going to do something rash. Sigeric turned to Vardamir. "It appears we don't have a choice. I'll try to stop him from going in without us!" Sigeric spurred his horse forwards, racing after Ha'zi. He reached out with his telepathy, projecting into Ha'zi's mind. Hopefully he would be able to hear him through his mimicry of the ability. "Ha'zi! Don't do anything reckless!"
 
Miriel exhaled. "Damn you, Iver. Damn you for making me do this. Why? Why did you have to bring her...my babies...she could have hurt them...why? Why are you such a pain in the ass?" She seemed to break for a moment before swallowing, "It doesn't matter. Aranel was already dead, to begin with ever since she slew our sister. I suppose I should be thanking you for finally giving me the strength to put her down. For forcing my hand." She continued to look over the cliff edge.

-----------------

Telimekhtar's hand swung into place and blocked the attack. For a moment they were equally balanced but then Dimitri's metalized fist began to crunch under Telimekhtar's larger hand.

------------------

As Ha'zi rode after the Behemoth, then Sigeric chased after him Vardamir merely shook his head.

"Helvion! Andrath, Lopin, Rander, Tranner, Hervor! All of you make sure to assist the Karoltai!" Then spurred his horse as the six men departed following Sigeric and Ha'zi.
"Oporan, return to Minas Tirith. Alert the garrison and Arcturus to the situation. The Leviathan is in Anorien, about twenty-three miles along the Kings road. Go!"
"Sir!" The man took off.

"The rest of you. Divide yourselves between Fortis and I. Fortis take the southern route and surround the area. If you find hostiles, use your fire-flares. Those with me, we go north. Do not engage unless provoked. Do not show fear in the face of the enemy. Understood?"

"Aye!"

"FOR GONDOR!" Vardamir exclaimed and kicked his horse. It rushed northwards and into the forest as the rally went up amongst his men.

---

Ha'zi, Sigeric and the six riders passed into the forest, the trees obscuring their vision of the Leviathan Giant. Yet they could feel the tumultuous upheavals of the earth as it took each step. They could hear the shaking. It was only two or three miles ahead of them. What had happened?

---

Cardiloc found himself sitting on the charred corpse of the Hybrid Giant. It smelt as rank as butchered quail. He saw treetops above him and the sky above was a brilliant orange sheen. Something was off. Where was the grou-oh Wulf-

The eagle was precariously balanced between the branches of two large trees, one branch skewering its wing and the other holding up its lower body. It was at a dangerously tilted angle and Cardiloc could see the ground twenty meters below him. These were some big ass trees. Where was he?

Suddenly, the ground shook and the eagle tilted further; threatening to fall. What was that? Slowly Cardiloc's memory returned to him. The serpent...Screaming Shiter...Glorfindel...Berethor...and...oh...Marco...

THUUUUUD.

CRACK.

The branch holding up the eagle broke.

[user avatar="https://cravatar.eu/helmavatar/UnusualBrit/74.png" name="UnusualBrit"]12700073[/user] [user avatar="https://cravatar.eu/helmavatar/Szucsclan/74.png" name="Szucsclan"]12519458[/user] [user avatar="https://cravatar.eu/helmavatar/9842Kye/74.png" name="9842Kye"]16315828[/user]
 
Cardiloc guessed he had been knocked away from the Leviathan when he transformed. He guessed the others had been either incinerated by the blast or had transformed. But Glorfindel... that elf was hardy but the dunlending guessed his fuck up had gotten him killed. CRACK. Shit, in a split second Card tried to will time to slow, if this succeeded he’d try to run to grab onto anything on the tree, if not he’d just hold on for dear life.
 
"Well, i guess i should be leaving now, already caused a shit ton of mess and i believe that you might want some time alone" He said and turned around. He took a few steps before stopping in his track "You don't know about a way to kill Morgoth or his crazy Valar family by any case, right?"
 
"No." Miriel said. "I don't think that's possible." Then she turned back to Iver. "Hold on."

[user avatar="https://cravatar.eu/helmavatar/assassiniv/74.png" name="assassiniv"]14628767[/user]

---------------

Time did not slow and Cardiloc was spun upside down as the eagle tipped. The ground came running up to meet his face.

---

"Ughh," Tytus groaned as he parted the mouth of the Serpent Giant and escaped into a small field. He was covered in slime and gazed around at his surroundings. They were in a large forest and Evenis had crashed through a multitude of trees. The lower portion of the snake was missing and both its wings had been shredded off. He was unresponsive.

"Evenis!" Tytus cried. "Berethor!" He could not see them. He moved along the side of the Serpent searching for the nape. Evenis would be there. But Berethor...

"BER!" He cried again.

Something moved.

He glanced at the skin along the medial of the serpent. It moved. "Even is that you?" That couldn't be where the nape was. The flesh popped open as a knife slid through it. A hand emerged and then the innards opened up and a body came tumbling out. Tytus took a step backward. The figure coughed and slowly stood up.

"You-"

Glorfindel stood. He was drenched in blood and other indescribable fluids. He was breathing heavily for once and that look of stoicism was replaced by fury. He charged Tytus with the maia blade in hand.

"Wait.. did he just say Ironbeard?" Thoruk would think as the drinks were served. "I never told him my family name... who is this guy, has HE done something to my father to get info about who I am?" Thoruk tries to stay calm, not trying to push his luck any further. Yet, Thoruk wouldn't pick any food or drink for now. "This could all be poisoned, maybe even worse?" he'd think to himself "We search for allies." he'd say upon hearing the man's question. "But we wont find some here is what I slowly come to think." Thoruk would say, sitting there, staring at the "wine" or what ever it would be.
 
"Just...stay a while."

[user avatar="https://cravatar.eu/helmavatar/assassiniv/74.png" name="assassiniv"]14628767[/user]

----------------

"Don't be so quick ta judge." Lasser said. "I just want ta clarify a few things before we go any further. Firstly, what happened ta Joplin? He was our friend and we lost him in Mordor. Secondly, what is the state of the world? Any information would be appreciated. Thirdly, why do you seek allies in us? This is fairly self-explanatory, I get, but I want ta know the real reasons behind this."

[user avatar="https://cravatar.eu/helmavatar/KingTraitor/74.png" name="KingTraitor"]13615485[/user]

--------------

Whoosh.

Cardiloc hit the ground just as the shell formed around him. He was within an acorn-like structure with animal fur coating its outsides. The remains of the eagle were blown apart through the transformation and upon impact with the earth.

---

"DIEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Tytus screamed his lungs out. Glorfindel went flying, smacked into the Serpent's corpse, continued and smashed into a tree. He fell. Tytus leaped up onto the Serpent and gazed down at the bastard. He remembered what Mirecyla had said to them.

---

"Faggot gutted my face," Mirecyla had said.

"They call him Glorfindel. He's the most dangerous of them all. Be careful if you encounter him." Miriel told him.

---

"Glorfindel," He spat. He couldn't giantize him. He couldn't command him. He couldn't affect him. Only brutal force killed him.

The elf's body lay crumpled on the dirt.

Tytus turned away. Then he paused. He turned and looked back. "Just in case," He screamed again blasting the elf's body into a crater. Rocks and dirt flew everywhere and he kept screaming until his throat gave out.

He spat out more blood and turned around. There. It was done. He went to the neck of the serpent and knocked on it. Evenis must be knocked out. And Berethor...

Berethor was probably dead. All because they had tried diplomacy.
