VENTURES INTO THE REMOTE (RP)

Sigeric would nod “Indeed, it’s a very useful power for sabotage, intelligence, and strategy making the Guardian if he is put to the task or brought to it by others a great asset when it comes to leading, but do me a favor and keep this information a secret. Not many people know about it and I’d rather not have the other nobles come at me.” He’d finish just as Arcturus and other members of fifth squad arrived

Sigeric without hesitation strode over to his horse and climbed atop of it looking to his fellow shifters and pupils “And so it begins, tomorrow the fate of Middle Earth is in our hands, be ever vigilant and once the battle starts you’ll know your places, children I wish to safety for what is to come, all of you have grown on me.” He smiled
———————————————————
Mirecyla looked to the orc, shit, what the fuck was wrong with Sauron? Sure he died and almost conquered the world but what’s with the big rush, where’s the strategy! Mirecyla sighed and shook her head “I’m afraid that won’t do, tell my master that it would be wise for me to remain here and join with the army later on as a means to act as reinforcements. It would be wise to have another army at the ready.” She said before flying away and back up to the top of the tower, there she tried something new she tried something powerful.

Tapping into the fear energy and with the connection to the Nazgûl, and perhaps the spiders, she would conjure up a creature of power, a rival to Gothmog. While Morgoths Balrogs were representatives of demons, creatures of Hellfire and ash. Creatures without mercy and bring joy from pain, creatures perfect for a dark lord. Meanwhile Mirecylas was different, while everything was essentially the same her Balrog was different, he instead of burning with an intense flame smoked with the stent the of fear, an aura of death and terror so powerful it would cause lesser men to die of fright if he should even come near.
 
KNOCK. BRAK.

The two females toppled to the floor one after the other as if hit by an invisible force.

"Ha! What the heck Card!" Endo cried as Berethor took hold of him.

Cardiloc smirked, he loved his powers, before double checking he had everyone. He teleported back to the base of the tree where he had discovered Berethor and Endo, keeping hold of the two Endo’s. His initial glee wore off as anger formed on his brows, he turned to the two older men “Why did you two start laughing...!!?” Cardiloc demanded furiously. “What did you think I was going to do, fight them? And alert the whole village, what do you think I am? Insane?”
 
The smell of roasted flesh, the lightning and the teleportation, Vana nearly threw up on Ulmos body as Nessa teleported them away, leaving her sister behind.
"W-what?" she would ask Nessa, still a bit shocked from the last events.
 
The supervisor began to pull his sword out, "Ungrateful runt! You don't give me orders! You'll scrub these shitholes for the rest of your miserable life! Want to die so badly? You can choke on the shitter but you will gain no sympathy from me or anyone else for that matter!" He broke a sweat yelling at the fool then turned away.

"I've wasted enough of my time on your sorry arse. I hope I never see your ugly face again." He walked out of the latrine leaving Arandil alone to wallow in his thoughts. He was a miserable sad pathetic sap. Farangar and his parents were somewhere out there and so was Dina and Tytus and Equas and others he cared about and here he was wailing and whining like a little bitch, asking for death. If only they could see him now...what would they think of him...what would Dina think...what would his brother think? Tytus, Equas? The two men that had given their lives to save him from Raddis and Miriel and the rest of those damned prototypes...what would they think?

He was an absolute failure.

He couldn't even bring himself to make due on his promise to kill everyone of those stinking fucked prototypes. Damn him. Damn him to Utumno.

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

"Sorry. We just got carried away. It was Endo's fault." Berethor said wiping away his smile.

"What-no it was your-" Berethor gave Endo a stare to shut him up.

"Card, something bad's happening. Miriel...she's going to attack Gondor. Nearly everyone has gone with her." The younger Endo said.

"That's not important." The older one argued. "Beren is here, Card. We've been trying to tell you that. No-not in our time. I mean here-here! As in here! Near us. We saw him attack and kill your friends."

"He's become more powerful and he brought some creatures back from our time." Berethor added.

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

"Stu-pid-" Nessa fell. Vana's eyes widened as she realized what had happened. A lightning rod had impaled her back and was glowing...it was about to detonate.

Suddenly Yavanna appeared and a wall of greens coated Vana and Ulmo. Her sister did not even say a word to her as a distinct BANG sounded. The wall fell revealing the older sister to be holding Nessa tightly to her. The dowager of Tulkas' back was bloodied but she was breathing stiffly.

"You did this to them." Yavanna said softly soothing Nessa's hair, roots and herbs running over her wound and sealing it.

Ulmo was defunct. The only sign of life being the low vibration of his soul which still resided inside that obsolete body. And now Nessa was injured as well. "Bring me our brother before he passes." Yavanna commanded her.

“Fuck-fuck-fuck.” Card wrung his head in his hands. “Miriel you crazy bitch.” He cursed, before looking up at the others. “As far as we’re concerned whatever Miriel is doing is a secondary concern, we need to find a way to defeat Ha’zis psychotic son and I think the Silmarils are a way to achieve that. Now, have you made any progress on Aranel? And is there somewhere for us to stay?”
 
Arandil was shook, he was spared yet he expected death. He fell down on those dirty damned floors and began to contemplate what he had almost done. He almost betrayed his promise for the one woman he cared for the most. He almost left the sacrifices of Tytus and Equas go in absolute vain. He was a disgrace, he betrayed them, all of them.

''What a fool, what a fool I am. I dishonored.. I disgraced my saviors, I betrayed myself and my promise to her.. to Dina. If I am to see them again or at least her, I must do something to halt my feelings and memories of getting in my way and spiraling me down chaos that I cannot control. I must change for better or worse. I must.''

He sat there for a minute thinking and pondering on what to do. He might have just ruined his chance of ever getting out of that mess of a job. He had no idea, so he continued to mop the shit of every wanker that entered those latrines. Perhaps in due time, Eru may show him a way to escape, a way to find redemption. But that was looking all very bleak. But that would not deter him, he would try none the less to find a way to make it back. ''To make it back and finally live out a life with her.''

But then he remembered something he sweared to himself. To kill those bastards, to avenge Tytus and Equas to end any possible suffering of his kin. But how would he take on those beings while he was scrubbing toilets and floors? He wasnt in any state or power to do anything against any of them. Even he didnt know.
 
"Thank ye." Thoruk would say, taking his fathers axe, slamming it into the ground.

"Don't bother, we won't leave it here father, just follow me if ye as thirsty as me." he'd say to his father, leading him towards the river-side, trying to get something to drink and stock up their water-reserves before putting one hand onto the ground, trying to make the axe shake from afar and follow it's sound waves through the ground, hopefully increasing the zone he could reach out, trying to spot any movement while they were taking a rest at the shoreline of the river.
 
"No. We camped out there and watched them. We did come close to Aranel but she disappeared when Miriel and the others left. We would've followed but then we heard the noise coming from the south-west and investigated. We found some dead folks, then we saw a large fight between Beren and your southern friends. He killed a couple and the rest escaped. Some by horse, one was a giant and another flew away." Berethor said.

"It's clear that Aranel is tracking Miriel so we should follow them. But Beren is in this forest with us. And he has allies. If they get close to the village, they'll kill everyone who stayed behind. And those are our friends." Berethor said.

"Yeah. Sorry, Card but we're not leaving them to die. If you want to go after Aranel go ahead but we'll stay here even if we don't pose a threat as you do to him we can still buy some time for them." Endo re-affirmed their stance.

"So...what do we do?" The younger Endo asked.

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

A day passed and Thoruk saw that dreaded village ahead of him. It had taken a lot of strength and his abilities to locate it. His father stood next to him, ready.

"Let's let these monster-buggers have it, laddie." Thrak Ironbeard said.

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

Yavanna performed a ritual of sorts and Vana watched as Ulmo's soul left his corporeal vestige and into a necklace around her throat. Then she picked up Nessa and stood. "Come. There is a lot you must know, sister." And with that Yavanna and Vana vanished from the cave leaving behind Ulmo's corpse.

Tamara enjoyed their little quiz-game as only one of them - of course a girl - was able to give the right answers... or atleast that's what Tamara would think as her answers sounded way to complicated for her to understand and the others nodded in reply.

As she was about to approach the younger lady within their apprentices she heard some gondorians approach them on horsebacks.

"Best behaviour? Uh, so, Sir.. like.. normal?" she'd ask not knowing if she should stay quiet for the whole "festival" as they called it or if she could stay like she way, happy, yet also serious about what they were about to face.

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

"A'ight father, we'll have our fun with 'em, well... more or less" he'd say, putting a hand onto the ground, trying to spot any strange movement in the village or if someone spotted then.

"Gimme a second, I doubt they won't hear me preparing something big so I need to be sure that they're not aware of our plan. I'll do our kingdom a favor father and sadly... also the gondorians" he'd mumble.

"Killing them will give us room to breath and we can concentrate on bigger threats." he'd say to himself. "Thank you Ha'zi for making it more difficult than it could've been..."
 
Cardiloc stroked his beard, he’d look over at the village. “Alright, go ahead. Whoever is left, they need to be warned about him, get them somewhere safer. I’ll go after Aranel, Endo you should probably go too just tell Yellena and Pen that they tripped or something, depends on where you want to go.” Cardiloc instructed the younger Endo. “You three should rest, I’ll start looking for Aranel, and by extension Miriel...” He decided, sighing. “We should meet up in Bree where my safehouse is, Bree is across the misty mountains.” Cardiloc instructed the trio, “Good luck,” He finished, before turning away. Cardiloc would teleport twenty metres away and transform into a gryphon, he’d begin to fly off directly south of the village towards Gondor.
 
"Just don't be like him," Vardamir pointed at Dimitri, somewhat sarcastically. "Now come along you lot. You've got a big day tomorrow!"

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

Thoruk found nothing strange about the village...except for two individuals on the outskirts. They appeared to be guards of some sort but they were on the opposite side and couldn't see or oppose him. Otherwise he detected a couple living beings within some of the homes in the village...something seemed amiss. There were far fewer people around. Nevertheless, he felt his power surge and something within him whispered, "Do it."

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

"Wait-!" Endo stopped Card before he left. "I'd like to come with you. I'm not much use here."

The other two nodded in acknowledgment. "We'll take care of it from here, Card." Berethor replied.

"You can count on us!" The older Endo smiled.

"Oh- alright!" she'd say, getting on her horse with a bit of a struggle, looking at Dimitri once. "Was he the man he called out to? To save his sister?" she'd ask herself, speaking of Telimektars final words.

"Well, I'll ask him later." she'd think, turning towards the others again, ready to follow them, a smile purely of innocence appearing on her face.

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

"Hm... Those two should cause no problems.." Thoruk would think, looking at his father.

"Father, ye mind looking out for movement in the far? And step a few steps back, I won't go easy on 'em." he'd say turning his look towards the village, through the bushes and trees.

He'd close his eyes and concentrate as suddenly a strange boost of his powers accured. "Huh, I feel... I feel stronger..." he'd mumble before hearing a noise in his head assuming it was Irdis since she hadn't answered him before. "You still owe me a few answers." Thoruk would think before preparing his move, trying to slowly soften up the ground underneath the whole village before letting lose of an earthquake that would leave none alive in it's way.
 
As Endo reached over to Cardiloc the earth began to shake. "Wwaaaaaaauhhh!!" Endo fell off and hit the rocking soil.

"Pen?" Yellena turned to her companion.
"The ground...we need to tell Emi! The kids!" Penduilas yelled at her and began rushing back into the village.

Thoruk did not hear the transformation blast from Cardiloc as he imbued his power into the foundations of Arda, shaking them as if he were trying to topple that village into nothingness.

Thrak stood back and watched his son proudly. "That's ma laddie!"

[user avatar="https://cravatar.eu/helmavatar/KingTraitor/74.png" name="KingTraitor"]13615485[/user] [user avatar="https://cravatar.eu/helmavatar/UnusualBrit/74.png" name="UnusualBrit"]12700073[/user]
 
Cardiloc turned towards Endo, confused, what the fuck was going on. He cawed to the others motioning to the village with his wings, before flying up and grabbing Endo in his claws. He’d then fly high above trying to catch a glimpse of whatever the fuck was going on.
 
"It's rumbling..." Endo mumbled whilst hanging upside down in Cardiloc's grasp.

As the gryphon rose into the sky it spotted a number of things. People in the village panicked and fleeing, two figures in the distance to the south of him, and movement out of the corner of his eye to the south-east.
 
Thoruk stood still as the ground infront of him began to shake.

"Stay close to me father, I'll have ye back." he'd say, still focused on giving them the final blow before they could react as he felt commotion in the village. It would probably not take them long to spot them out and if they would do so, his father would be in great danger...

"Let's just hope ye not in there Iver lad..." he'd think, pushing the earth slightly down, letting the village sink in, before preparing to open up a ravine so deep that none could survive and even mighty Durin himself would stare in awe, directly underneath the village. "It might not be the older one I kill, but I'll kill that ginger and his sister..." he'd think, anger coming up in him, ready to give them the final blow, trying to spot any incoming human-lifeforms before delievering it.
 
Cardiloc flew south towards Gondor keeping an eye out for the protogiants, he hoped to Wulf that Berethor and Endo weren’t facing Beren. How could he just leave them though, this didn’t feel right....
