VENTURES INTO THE REMOTE (RP)

Vana would take a step back, she didnt see any sign for corruption and she was afraid that her brother's spasm might cause him to get hit by the blade she was holding.
 
"Thank you!" she'd say to him with a cheeky little smile which dissapeared like it appeared, in an instant.

There was still chaos as it seemed. And... other giants.

"Next time I'll get up here on my own!" she'd say to Keratos, trying to prove her point that she wasn't just a helpless little girl, but that she could also act like a real woman would. A woman with the spirit to fight, well, atleast if she had to.

She'd look around once more before turning towards Keratos. "When are we leaving? I'm already hungry again" she'd give him a sad look before completing her sentence. "And the faster we ride back, the faster we'll get our next meal!" she'd say in joy.

There was no reason to worry about something, not when she had a completely armed army at her side.


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

Thoruk would turn to his father. "Ah, it's nothing father, I just- you stay here, give me a few seconds." he'd order his father before standing up and walking towards the gondorian chaos.

No formation, so much hesitation, yet Ha'zi and even Arandil seemed as if there was no attack, so what else could've happend? He had to find out, but... "First things first, I need to tell'em who I am, can't risk my father getting attacked by some so called 'kNiGhTs Of GoNdOr'." he'd mumble as he would approach them, hoping to get someones attention with a shout. "AYE, Arandil!"
 
As Ranzolg’s head started to get squeezed he would scream in agony until finally his head exploded, sending bits and pieces of him all around. His last thoughts “I should of kept bowing...”

Munvare hissed as the javelin went through his wing, going to lunge for her head when he noticed the screams and death of Ranzolg alongside with Durins Bane bowing before Gothmog. He looked down before standing up and offering a hand “until next time.”
———————————
Shin albeit bored had a dull interest with the conflict of the giants. He wanted to fight but with that option seemingly out of the way he was just bored at this point noticing that the girl and Keratos were getting ready Shin to would let out a sigh before going to find and mount his horse
———————————
Mirecyla would turn her head to look at the eagle, lips pulling up to reveal her fanged teeth, her expression while hard to make out seemed to express a mixture of confusion and annoyance. Mirecyla however reached with her fear powers, looking to see if there was anything of what remained of the once mighty fortress
 
The wyrm struggled about, flapping its wings almost pathetically. The wings were too small to do much aside from lightly glide since its body was far bulkier than Cardiloc expected. He'd either have to ditch the wings or sacrifice some bodily size or mass in order to make this form optimal for the mission...

Endo blinked once. Then twice. A chunk of the mountaintop broke off and slide down the opposite side, falling into an abyss. He blinked thrice.

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

"Fiesty one, eh." Kurio muttered under his breath as the girl began to dictate herself.

"Hopefully soon, Lady Tam." Keratos bowed his head lightly to her and stepped back, going to secure his own horse. Strange. She had ridden all the way here with Keratos but now he had given her a horse of her own. A surprise but a welcome one at that. This did not please Shin.

Teli grunted in reply and followed Dimitri. The Forochelrim heard a cry and noticed someone approaching from a bush outside of the range of their campsite. They were rather short, quite bloated and carried a familiar voice.

"Aye, Arandil!"

Two rangers raised their bows at the incoming stranger and another gripped his sword. Ostopher's gaze did not falter, his eyes set on Ha'zi. "Explain to me...please..." His voice seemed to quiver for a moment. It was becoming evident that Ha'zi's antics, messing with their minds was causing some chain reaction in their commander. He was sweating profusely and had become a mix of aggravated and weary.

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

"What?" Varda hissed as she noticed Vana pull back out of the corner of her vision. "Get back to work! Purify his mind! Sever the brain in half and funnel through it for the impurity!"

"Do not listen to her, Vana." Yavanna spoke softly. "Ulmo is not corrupt. Search your heart. You know it to be true. She on the other hand..."
"You will answer for the darkening of Valinor and for the release of Morgoth!" Nessa exclaimed. Her cape blowing furiously. Vana could see they were powering up. Varda was glowing brighter and brighter in response to this. Two Valie against the second most powerful of the Aratar. It was not a close match but Vana could turn the tables...

Or she could do as commanded by her lady. But...her older sister had also given her an order. Which would she follow? Her master or her blood?

Ulmo's body continued to convulse on the table.

"I SAID PURIFY HIM!" Varda screeched at her.

Vana took another step back, and then stopped. Running away now will only anger both sides which means that she will have to chose and unlike last time, this time it wasn't that easy to pick a side in the family fight.
On one side, there were two of her sisters, those who disappeared a long time ago without a word and suddenly showed up shouting at her. Not really a good reason to trust them.
On the other side there is Varda, who although was here all the time was a little bit hostile towards her for no real reason. She also abounded her just a little while ago, when she had to deal with Morgoth and the trickster. but it was because she had to deal with Ulmo, who was corrupted... or was he?
They told her Aule was corrupted as well, but he saved her and did not join Morgoth, could that be that they were lying to her? Could they lie to her about Ulmo as well?

Vana would walk back to Ulmo's spasming body. "I have to know" she would say and send her empty hand towards Ulmo's open head "Ulmo, I have to know, if there is corruption in your mind" she would add and summon vines to restrain him before touching his brain and tempting to detect weather or not his mind is corrupted.
 
BA-PA-PA-BAAAAAM.

The Hybrid Giant slowed down, losing a few wings and appendages in the process but nevertheless came to a halt.

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

Varda saw the vines restrict Ulmo and assumed that Vana had followed her order. She moved into the way of the other two. "You dare defy your King?"

"We serve Eru, not your tainted lord." Nessa spat back.

"Manwe is...ERU!!!" Varda's eyes gleamed as bright as Telperion and her bodily form discharged a blinding luminescence that which illuminated the finely crafted wings of the five Vala residing in the chamber. In a split second, she leaped at Nessa, bounding with the speed of a falling star. Nessa and Yavanna reacted, taking coutermeasures, the former dashing and flanking at an even hastier acceleration whilst the latter became shrouded in an earthen acorn which absorbed Varda's radiative emissions.

Vana could not comprehend the battle that took place. Her bodily eyes were too focused upon Ulmo's mind which she now connected with. Her essence weaving into the fabric of the lord of the oceans. She sensed his heart, his mind, his soul...and each was pure. His restraints kept him pinned and slowly she felt him calm. He sensed her intentions and suddenly she felt something reach her. A message from Ulmo. "Orome...he lives...he is not as Manwe clai-" The connection was shattered as the roof above them collapsed, electrical shards larger than scorpion bolts descended and bombarded Ulmo.

"Ughhwwwuuuuaaaghhhhhhh!!!!!" Ulmo roared fanatically, his body twisting and convulsing as jolts coursed through him. Lightning pierced through his open skull, burning his brain cavity and searing his head whilst reaching targets across his legs, shoulders, and open chest. Vana saw her older brother's aquamarine eyes roll into the back of his head and his screams came to a stop.

"Hold ye swords lads. Thoruk Ironbeard the name is." he'd say towards the approaching gondorians who seemed to be as dumb as ever. He'd let some lightnings sparkle in his hands to show that he was no mere mortal dwarf. "Ye mind to tell Ha'zi a old friend is here? If possible fast, I have to speak to the boy, ye understand?" he'd ask them, keeping his cool as he would step further towards them.
 
Cardiloc used a knife to cut his way out of the nape, then he jumped back to Endo’s location. “Well it wasn’t so bad, I should probably ditch the wings though.” He stated.
 
Dimitri looked at the source of the shout, and saw a short dwarf that almost got his head lobbed off quite a few time. Well, they all had almost got it hacked off at some point. But after being away from the group for months, and almost dying on each day he was gone, it was a welcome sight to see anyone familiar. He remained quiet, only showing his happiness with a faint smile, and kept moving.
 
"I... I..." Ha'zi raked his mind for words, frantically trying to come up with an explanation. Realizing that he could hardly come up with any half-believable excuse on the spot, he instead decided to go with it. "I can influence people's minds," he said, putting all his focus into making everyone that heard him understand that he was trustworthy, that mind-control wasn't all that dangerous, that it would make a valuable asset.

Daugo watched suspiciously, but he chose not to speak, wanting to see first how much the Haradrim was willing to let on. After all, it seemed sensible not to tell them that he could also see into people's minds, for every strange thing that had happened could be explained by simple mind-control.

Mirecyla found that her powers crackled with energy in that place; perhaps its visual allure was long gone, but fear still welled in every corner of the structure. The tower in particular verily glowed with terror, wickedly burning into her mind. She felt drawn to it, felt the pull of an evil presence not unlike that of Sauron.

The eagle took off, circling around her gracefully. "I cannot even fathom the horrors that Sauron has put you through, child, and I understand that such scars run deep and hinder one's compassion; but you must not let your past encumber our grand goal. Hagaallath was an ally to our cause. I have taken great care in selecting the individuals that together form to this conspiracy against him; not one was chosen in vain. I urge you, if you wish to see him vanquished, do not so easily discard the lives of those that I send to help you, child"

[rule]
Undolog nodded worriedly, scrambling to her feet without Munvare's aid, and bowed respectfully towards Gothmog.
 
Shin would scoff and look at Keratos and the girl with disgust, what the hell was he thinking? The mission may be over but the fact remains, he wouldn’t have any hold over her. She’d either go with the fucking giants or put in the dungeons and brainwashed to join Gondor, why couldn’t he get that in his thick skull? Walking over to the man he’d grab his arm “Hey, what did I say about getting attached?”
—————————————————
Munvare would follow suit, ending the fight for good
—————————————————
Mirecyla would close her eyes and breath in the beautiful smell of fear. This was something. Something beautiful indeed, not forged from torture of the people she loved or from the innocent, but a fortress built upon terror and death. How many bodies lay buried under her? How many lives had been sacrificed in order for this place to be what it is now? Theses questions wracked her mind as she found herself making her way subconsciously to the tower, but she acknowledged the eagle, taking her head out of the nape and calling out “Cool cool, the thing is I care about respect. I had respect for him up until he called me bitch, if he hadn’t said that then perhaps he’d be here. But fine, if there really is such a small amount of fucking allies I won’t I won’t kill them needlessly.” She’d say before returning inside the nape and continuing to the tower, going to try and climb it
 
"Okay and what about me? What do we do now?" Endo asked.

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

"As expected. You're smarter than this-" Gothmog's foot rubbed deeper into Ranzolg's chest. The Balrog's body healing slowly, the others slowly regenerating from their wounds as well. "Take both these fools to the infirmary. We await our Lord's return." Gothmog raised his foot off Ranzolg and gazed at Lungorthin. Durin's Bane moved to pick up the smaller one and drag him away as their chieftain watched.

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

"Huh?" Keratos raised an eyebrow through his visor. Shin's question caught him off-guard.

"Wha-" Ostopher twitched slightly as Ha'zi's influence further swayed him, "What do you mean by that, Lieutenant?" His voice became softer and kinder.

Dimitri and Teli edged closer towards the group of Karoltai and Ostopher.

But before Ha'zi could give a proper answer, a familiar face caught his eye. Walking towards him with Gondorians lowering their weapons was a dwarf, electricity crackling in one palm. He spoke his name...and after a year Ha'zi's eyes were greeted by those of Thoruk's.

"What is that...?" One of the soldiers still aiming an arrow at the dwarf asked, staring at the lightning generated from his fingertips.

“Let’s head back home, it’s too dangerous for you Endo. And tomorrow I’m going to get that Silmaril.” Cardiloc decided.
 
Endo nodded and once they returned back to their homestead in Bree, he went about his usual routine: tidying the place, preparing a meal for Cardiloc and bunkering down for the night.

The next morning Cardiloc was ready to claim the silmaril of the earth in an attempt to make amends for wasting and losing the silmaril of the sea.

A grand smile could be seen on Arandil's face. He had not seen his comrade for a year, and truly he had missed him. ''My dear Thoruk,'' he said approaching him. ''It has been a while.'' For a moment Arandil finally felt relief. A familiar face, a friend, a true ally had finally returned. Even with all the chaos that he had witnessed still in his mind. he was happy to greet the dwarf.

''Lay down your bow and arrow, he is no threat to us, he is no enemy.'' He told to the ranger still hesitant of halting and relaxing.
 
”I’m heading out Endo.” Cardiloc called out to him, before he concentrated on that ocean Mandos showed him, biting his tongue, he jumped towards it. “Here goes nothing.”
 
Thoruk would snap out the lightning. "Nothing you have to be afraid of, as I, Thoruk Ironbeard, am one of the Karoltai." he'd speak up to the ranger that seemed to feel uncomfortable.

"Arandil... Ye bugger, how'd ye end up here?" he'd ask, stretching out his hand to greet his friend.

"Everything's alright father, ye can get out!" Thoruk would shout back.

"Told ye bout my father, didn't I? Well, I was able to found him and ye... well, we have a lot to talk about mate, but first..." he'd pause his reunion, taking his hand out of Arandils looking at Ha'zi. "First I need to fullfill an oath I have sworn." he'd tell him approaching the young haradrim boy.


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

Tamara would look at Keratos and then at Shin. What where they talking about? She was interested and looked at them, trying to listen to them.
