VENTURES INTO THE REMOTE (RP)

Cardiloc teleported out of his eagle form, directly in front of Endo, a grin formed on his face. “Looking for you and Berethor, I found the Earth Silmaril, plus I have some bad news. But I’ll save that for later, I sent Endo into the village to gather information about the pair of you, but if Berethors nearby we might as well go and pick Endo up. Where is Berethor anyway?” He questioned him, looking around.
 
Sigeric would nod “Very well then, Tamara because you still just recently learnt your powers I’ll supervise and aid in any information I know or you feel your not familiar with. If you ever change your mind however Avaldor Ha’zi utilizes the Elementals power quite well.” He remarked sending a wink to the Haradrim
 
BA-BOOM.

The eagle crashed into the plains, its body beginning to steam as decay set in without an attachment to its shifter.

"He's up there," Endo said pointing up.

"We got some bad news as well." The voice came from above Cardiloc and the older man climbed his way down the tree, leaped onto a branch then jumped and rolled onto the floor. He dusted and brushed his brown attire down and looked with concern at Cardiloc. "Beren's somehow found his way here. And that's not all. He brought a couple of friends and killed some of yours."

--------

"Oh, I see. Alright then." He turned to Ha'zi, grunting mentally and stood behind Halos awaiting his turn to greet his new teacher.

Sigeric would contact Tamara telepathically ”I guess that means you and I will be working together, I don’t know much about the Serpent but I have seen it in action and fought against Evenis, the former shifter, I recommend you try to contact him. Call for him mentally, he might answer and he might not, but I cannot say what he’ll show you.”
 
""Heroes"? Is that really what you think of us?" Ha'zi projected humorously into the bubbly Taura's mind after her appraisal. In actuality, he considered this grimly, realizing that this would be difficult to find a connection, as all these pre-approved inheritors saw a fabrication, not the actual ordeal.

Additionally, he grew slightly irritated at her jovial nature, being reminded of a certain southron not too far back. Yet, even then he recognized the circumstances that they faced... Though it's still annoying as hell to be faced with, especially considering that Tamara had joined their ranks. Such a naive girl... and she wasn't even that much younger than him.

Ha'zi, a reader as always, knew better than to judge a book by its cover, though. Therefore, he did a sweep of the candidates, gathering quick and simple information about their true personalities, desires, and, most importantly, their true intentions in being here. He would, of course, run the highest analyzation on his pupil, trying to get a better sense of who he was dealing with.

While this went under way, the Haradrim boasted a bold smile, and offered a slightly shaky hand in return. "No need to be so stiff, Halos. I've been in your spot before, it's fine. Oh, and Ha'zi, 2nd inheritor of the Warrior... uh... member of House Mor, I suppose," he added cheekily, trying to lower the tension between the two.

He also caught Sig's wink (mainly because of absentminded mind reading), nodding his head. "May as well join my ever-growing class, eh?" Ha'zi shot to the kid, before realizing who it was. Shit. The racist. Of all people to get recruited with him... Figures. Sig probably orchestrated it.

Oh well. Guess he'll just have to handle these Karoltai virgins one way or another. He now had immense sympathy for what Eonwe went through teaching him and Card, both names bringing a sour tug on his lips before he shone another smile. "Welcome, then. Any questions, kiddos?"
 
"Huh?" Taura's eyes widened. "Who said that?" She turned her head in both directions, freezing in front of Daugo.

It then became apparent to Ha'zi that Sigeric had not revealed his telepathic abilities to the inheritors. Well, it was too late now. Nonetheless, he soon picked up enough information from them without having to delve too deep into their minds. Taura was a bright young lady who's optimism stemmed from a well of never-ending naivety; Brego was one of those types that thought he was tough as nails and larger than life; Alvador, albeit racist, was actually quite well-meaning and only sought to benefit his household by becoming an inheritor and do his duty to his realm, quite Sigeric like in that sense but far less ambitious; and then there was Halos...
Now she was a mystery to him. She seemed...dull. Devoid of any substance. Yet there was something behind her milky hazel eyes. Almost a deep sadness. "Pleasure to serve." She said flatly.

"Did you just..." Alvador asked, eyes widening as he stared at Ha'zi, "Was that your voice in my...? How? Teach me." Suddenly the subtle racism was replaced by grandeur curiosity as the male stepped forth, passing Halos in an attempt to reach Ha'zi.

"It certainly was. And for training for it... well, heh, unless you want to kill me and steal my powers- which I heavily recommend against- that's not much of an option. Sorry, buckaroo."

Good to know. Especially Halos's.
This would be a fine time to help him get out of his comfort zone... by trying to get someone else out of theirs. He mentally noted this down, going to then shake hands with Alvador, trying to appear kinder. "Ha'zi Mor, Warrior, bla bla bla. You get the shtick. Now, any other inquiries... maybe more realistic ones?" He asked, gazing at Halos for input in particular.

"This is instructor Mor. Sorry for the scare."
 
Sigeric chucked “This is a good time for a lesson, who can guess what and who’s power Ha’zi just used and how it could uniquely be used?” He asked
 
'Understood.' Halos noted the thought briefly self-assured that it would be received by her teacher.

"Uh, uhm, uh-ey what exactly can you do aside from what we saw and the mind thingy? I mean-uh-in relation to the Elemental. He-what-can it do?" And now it was Alvador who was anxious. Something seemed to have changed. Then Sigeric questioned them.

"Uh-I think it's the-uhm-the Flyer?" Alvador asked.
Taura still looked confused and shocked, seeking out an answer in the form of looking at them hoping one would reveal it.
"Hmph," Brego shrugged.
"Lord Sigeric's mind-speech." Halos said almost bored. The others glanced at her with scrutiny. "As for how it could be used...well it depends." She looked up at the sky lackadaisically.
 
"Thank you Mr Kera-" Tamara would stop in her tracks as the warrior walked off, trying to not make it to hard for her. "W-we will..." she'd mumble, trying to switch from her sad face to a smile, but it was to no avail.

"New friends, uh?" she'd ask herself, joining the other giants as it seemed. There was this big warrior, the hobbit, that younger looking man- probably a haradrim as far as she heard and finally this... highly ranked gondorian who was at the kings side. Sigeric?

"Uh, eh, pleasure to meet ye!" she'd say with a smile joining their group and walking off, turning her head a last time towards Keratos and to the tree as they walked off.

"OUCH!" she'd yell as they cut her finger. They told her she would transform that way but nothing happend as she re-opened her eyes. The only thing she felt was pain,licking the blood off her finger.

"The others made so much..." she'd think before turning towards Sigeric. "Try it again!" she'd say, pumped up with confidence. "Again. Again. Again." It went on like this for quite some time till the noble spoke to her in her minds,manipulating her thoughts and she felt some strange feeling crawling through her body like she was standing in the middle of an anthill.

The next thing she could remember when she opened her eyes were that everyone seemed so small as she looked up and down. Her whole movement feeling strange, almost like she had a tale. "W-woah!" she'd think. "Hello?" no response came from them besides giving her orders of what to do. "Seems like they can't hear me." she'd realise, trying to move a bit,getting used to this.

Once she got the hang of it' movement she felt quite confident, almost crashing in some trees twice, but besides that she was quite confident. Atleast she thought so before trying what the tall man called his 'training.'

She had a good feeling at first but before she could even dodge 5 of those spears one of them was thrown exactly into her tail. "Ouchhh-..?" she thought, the pain not beeing as bad as she thought, yet itwas a most unsatisfying feeling to have so she tried to dodge them as much as possible next time.

They trained quite some time before the others told her she had wings attached to her giant. "I-I can fly then?" she'd ask them thrlugh her minds, instantly trying to fly,yet to no avail as it seemed she could only take off for half a meter or so, well she wasn't used to it after all but! There was another ability she found quite handsome. She was able to spat some toxic acid that could melt almost everything as it seemed. She felt like she was a danger to the others sometimes but yet, this noble man - Sigeric - seemed quite friendly to her and helped her out so she was confident in using it either way.

And just two days after they were introduced to some 'youngster' called 'the next shifter generation.'

Tamara was a bit shy at first as all of them looked so noble and full of confidence before one of the girls approached her, greeting and shaking her hand. "A-a pleasure to meet you to!" she'd say, smiling back at the young lady who seemed to be around her age. Tamara seemed quite confident about those 4, especially because she was one of the gondor giants, superior to them! For the first time she felt pride through this power she had gotten.

"C-can I train with that girl?" she'd ask Sigeric, clearly meaning Taura, as she wasn't realy hyped to train and teach any of them but some female-ish help would make her confidence raise a bit and she had someone she could talk to as they were all men but her in the giant-shifter-club.

"Huh- oh, jea! Thank you Mr. Sigeric." she'd say with a cheeky smile appearing on her face listening to the others as they started some sort of quiz for the newcomers.

Tamara felt happy, she felt like part of a big family.
 
He smirked at Halos's response. Clever. It usually took people longer to think of a way to communicate back. Seems he has a smart one amongst his group...

...and one who's a chaotic questioning mess. Ah, memories- they kept getting reminded with this bunch. Evolving the smirk into a playful smile, he went to answer- then Sigeric hijacked his class. Wonderful.

His merriment turned to cringe as Avaldor threw out the worst reply, to which he immediately pounced upon in scrutiny: "Firstly, it's the "Flying"- not the "Flyer". Secondly, that shifter, Iver has an entirely different moveset, and happens to be gone at the moment- like your original tutor. He got in an... ehm... 'accident' on the way here. Don't know where nor when he'll meet up with us again, but don't fret- I've got all questions concerning his Giant handled."

"Great job, by the way, Halos. That's exactly right... Though, I'd appreciate at least one possible use thought up for it, alright?" Ha'zi responded, looking at the two with a wink directed at Alvador.
 
''Gondor has changed since I left.'' He said with fury. ''But the weak minded men seem to rule all over. At least the King's nobility and honor still upholds and keeps this kingdom safe. Men like you should be cast aside, thrown into the fiery pits of Utumno so the minions of Melkor can give you a very warm goodbye.''

''Now cover that up you sad sack of wine. Before I slice that tiny cock that even a hobbit wouldn't suck.''
 
“That’s exactly my news, Endo sensed him back in Bree. “Now, Let’s go to where I’m meeting Endo and get the fuck out of here. And try to avoid using his name Berethor.” Cardiloc grabbed ahold of both men’s shoulders and teleported ten metres from the designated meeting point somewhere hidden in the brush.
 
Daugo blinked for one second before snapping back into what was expected of him. He was skeptical, to say the least, of this move by the Gondorian authorities--it seemed to him as much a warning as a precaution--but it would only raise doubts if he resisted. And, in any case, he was fond of young people, finding them less cocooned in bullshit than most adults.

"Pleasure to meet you, young Taura," he said, extending his hand with a well-meaning smile. "I admire the energy with which you've taken up this task; it will make things easier for both of us. But, please, I was raised a simple Hobbit and have only come into these powers by happenstance. There is no privilege in meeting me."

Then Ha'zi went on to show off his telepathic skills. "It takes some time to get used to it, and it never stops being annoying," he chipped in. "But yes, it is extremely useful for ranged communication."

[rule]
The Orcs recoiled at the fellbeast's roar, and even the stoutest among them flinched. "We... We've orders from our Lord, m'lady," said one, bowing down a little. "We're to tell you that you must... Resurrect the Nazgûl," it added, before looking at the ground. "And... Come back with them to M-Mordor."
 
"Okay but-" It was too late, Cardiloc in all his restlessness brought them away.

"Card you need to listen right now. You can't be here." Berethor remarked trying to get his attention. "He's-"

The younger Endo emerged from one of the village houses dragged out by two women. They threw his ass onto the soil and proceeded to yell and shout at him.

"Shit. That's Yellena." Berethor's train of thought switched.

"Is that Pen?" The older Endo asked. "Yeesh, this brings me back."

"Yeah. Damn. We're old. Shit."

"Yeah, no kidding."

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

"What did you just say to me?" The officer buckled his belt and twisted his head around to look at Arandil who was still mopping the other latrine. "You dare speak to me like that! Insolent traitorous curr!!!" He reached for his sword.

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

Alvador grimaced slightly. "A possible use? Uhm-you could try to pass notes to others?"

'Signal soldiers, move forces, possibly locate enemies, all number of things...even manipulating one another.' Halos thought. Her features betrayed no emotion but her eyes focused on her instructor's. 'Isn't that right, Mister Mor?'

"You are too kind, sir," Taura acknowledged Daugo's words with a smile.

Then they heard the thud of hooves. "Redhaven! Mor! Burgins!" It was Arcturus. "We have word from the capital! The festival begins tomorrow! Pack your shit!" Always the drill sargeant. Riding beside him was Varadmir, Helvion and six others of the fifth squadron who brought their horses and a pony for Daugo. "We'll rehearse the details on the ride back to the Pellenor. Tonight you'll be resting on the first level barracks for ease of access and because Prince Elphir's men took our spots amongst the third level." Captain Vardamir frowned slightly. "There'll be a lot of people tomorrow. A lot. So I need you all on your best behavior. I'm looking at you, Dimitri."

Cardiloc rolled his eyes as the two discussed their age. Impatiently he began to speak. “He’s hunting me yes, I know. Stay here, I’ll go grab Endo. What can those two do?” He questioned the pair, taking his spear off of his back. He’d eye the two women with a scowl.
 
"No-no-no you don't wanna do that." Endo stifled a laugh.

"Ha he thinks he can fight Pen and Yellena? Hahaha, no let him try Endo this'll be funny-"

"Stop fucking around Ber, we have bigger problems." Endo cut him off, "Card, Yellena can change her body into any form like you and Pen is dangerous she has this...this thingy she does with her hands...and well-"

"This thingy?"

"Shut up Ber, you're not helping."

"Thingy???" He started to cackle and Endo began to laugh as well. "I wonder what t h i n g y. Care to explain-heh-Endo?" But at this point Endo was howling so loudly that the two females turned around and looked directly at the three idiots in the bushes.

"Who's there?!" One of them yelled.

[user avatar="https://cravatar.eu/helmavatar/UnusualBrit/74.png" name="UnusualBrit"]12700073[/user]
 
“For fucks sake.” Cardiloc grumbled, why had he brought these two along. Quietly he paused time and teleported directly in front of Endo whom was on the floor. He’d slam the two women round the head with the butt of his spear in quick succession and grab ahold of him and teleporting back to Berethor and Endo. He’d then grab Endo’s hand, unfreezing time at that second. “Berethor grab Endo’s fucking hand.” He instructed him quickly, glancing between the two women and Berethor.
 
''Put down your blade, don't dare to unsheathe it, let me tell you something first. I've faced things worse than even your nightmares can imagine. Don't call me traitor. You have not seen what i had seen. You had not felt what I had felt. You have not comprehended what I have been through. I watched commanders of mine turn into piles of ash in front of my eyes. Comrades of old burning to death. I watched my brother fall into a coma with his face burnt to a crisp, and I still do not know if he is alive or dead. I watched Ologs crush men in these very streets. I watched my village burn as I had to flee from hoards of orcs. I watched countless men cry out for help, yet no help could come for them.'' He grabbed the mop tightly as his feelings and anger got a hold of him.

''I didn't turn crazy like Magath, and did the only sensible thing, leave the army, where I was but a meat shield, a pawn to be sent and die. I went alongside those giants for more than just an escape route from the army, but for answers, and a new adventure, and maybe, start a new life alongside beings that could protect me and keep me good company. How I deeply miss those 2 idiots.'' His anger quickly faded and he began to relax and speak with ease to the furious man.

With a calm tone he told him. ''Kill me right now , right here. I care not. Even if my family is still alive, don't tell them I died. Hell, burn my body and discard the ashes in Mordor for all I care, ill be amongst the ashes of my comrades and friends at least. But do not call me a traitor, for you would have no doubt done the same. Being 1 of 3 survivors from that expedition, you would have most likely done the exact god-damn same.'' he paused, he looked stressed yet certain. ''Kill me, end this hellish life I've lived ,I have seen enough and I want to see no more. Unsheathe that blade of yours now, and Eru bless you.'' And with that he closed his eyes ready to face the strike that would end his life.
