2006-01-16 [First Wizard]: Drake walks out of the crown city of the empire towards the main gates into the empire's heart. The massive walls around the ancient empires head are covered almost completely by vines and other such plants. It's turned from an evil, deterring wall of blood-splattered stone to a beautiful, flowering wall lovers would love to walk alongside. The gates are thick, wraught-iron gates at the outermost gate and the inner gates through the wall are thick, heavy wooden double-doors. Drake slowly takes the massive steel locks from the gates and turns the lock on the gates themselves, gently swinging them open to let anyone in.

2006-01-16 [First Wizard]: He leaves the wooden doors shut tight to prevent enemies from entering and a guard sits beside them on the inside to let in anyone deemed friendly. The doors tower well over 30 feet tall and stand near to 50 feet wide, allowing a large amount of trade to pass through them. Drake stands at a good 12 foot 8 with his broad shoulders supporting the golden captains tassles of his black-leather trenchcoat.

2006-01-16 [divinesage]: Serania ran up to Drake and threw her arms around him. "Drake! God, it's been so long since I've seen you... Warn a person before you go off in hiding like that, will you?"

2006-01-16 [First Wizard]: Drake grinned at Serania's hug and scoops her up in a hug of his own. He quickly sets her back down. "Serania. God.. it really has been ages hasn't it? I'm sorry about disappearin though. I'll warn ya next time. Ok?"

2006-01-16 [divinesage]: Serania laughed. "Of course you will. Just like you never do. So, what have you been up to in that castle of yours?"

2006-01-16 [Sabrina Catherine]: Dylan was walking down the countryside road, admireing the bright sunny day.

2006-01-16 [Bastet]: Korui approced the gates with a bag slung over her shoulder.

2006-01-16 [First Wizard]: Drake laughed at her crack at him as he sat down against the wall inside the gateway so he'd be closer to Serania's height, and because he was still simply rather lazy. "Alright, alright. Heh. I've been pretty busy. Looking through ancient books, finding out what caused the downfall of the empire the first time all those thousands of years ago. I've also been outside fixin up the buildings in the city though, if you haven't noticed. I'm hoping to draw people back into the empires crown city. Maybe it'll come back to life." He laughed heartily before continueing, "and maybe pigs'll learn how to fly."

2006-01-16 [Sabrina Catherine]: Dylan drew closer to the gates. From where she was she could she the castle. "That looks like a lovely place to stay.... at least..... for a while...."

2006-01-16 [First Wizard]: Drake noticed Korui approaching and he turned his head towards her. His thick beard of silver-gray hair covering the bottom of his face and rimming his wide smile with hair. He's ruggedly handsome and with four scars on his face, 2 identical ones going horizantally on his right cheek with another one doing the same on the left and a fourth going straight down from the top of his forhead through his left eye and down to near the corner of his mouth, he cut a very imposing figure. His muscular build shows right through his skin-tight white t-shirt and his baggy pants hide powerful legs. His left eye can be seen to be a machine of some sort and his right eye is gray and looks almost endless.

2006-01-16 [divinesage]: Serania opened her mouth to speak, prepared to thouroughly explain her experiments in the flight patterns of pigs, but decided against it. "I wouldn't have noticed, I've been so busy lately. School, students, etc. Arin fell into yet ANOTHER depression and I had to coax him out of that. Then he got into a macho-man stage and challenged Lan to a swordfight. I had to go out searching for healing herbs in the middle of the night for that one..."

2006-01-16 [First Wizard]: Drake looked to Dylan and laughed slightly. "Aye, that it is, but she belongs to the emperor and he's not always too keen on letting people stay there. He's a powerful man with a massive form and a temper that'd make even Zeus blanche from fear of him. It's said he's the most powerful man alive and the worlds greatest swordsman. None have fought him outside competitions and lived to tell the tale.Some even say he could strike a man dead with fear just from glareing at him." Drake put an edge to some of his words to especially scare the woman. He thought it'd be fun to mess with someones head.

2006-01-16 [divinesage]: Serania followed Drake's gaze to Korui, then smiled and muttered something along the lines of "Playboy".

2006-01-16 [Bastet]: Korui stoped just outside the gates and looked around a curiousity in her bright green gold eyes. She noticed Drake talking to someone then her eyes wondered to the castle.

2006-01-16 [First Wizard]: Drake looked back to Serania and laughed slightly. "That dipshit got a deathwish or something? He NEEDS to get laid."

2006-01-16 [divinesage]: Serania rolled her eyes. "You're so full of yourself. The worst part is, you're more like a giant, monstrous-looking teddy bear than a god."

2006-01-16 [divinesage]: "Arin? Getting laid? Ha, he's had plenty of oppurtunities. Has every girl at the Academy after him. But he'd rather practice his archery. Or try to beat up Lan. Whichever comes first."

2006-01-16 [First Wizard]: Drake glared at Serania with a look that said to keep quiet. He reached up and pulled her close, whispering so low that only she could hear, "Quiet. I'm trying to scare this person. She doesn't know I'm the emperor so let me have some fun!"

2006-01-16 [First Wizard]: Drake laughed again at the comment about Arin after he released Serania. "Yeah. Guess yer right. That boy's a moron."

2006-01-16 [divinesage]: Serania smiled to herself. Drake would never change. "Alright, have your fun..."

2006-01-16 [Sabrina Catherine]: Dylan neared the gates.

2006-01-16 [First Wizard]: Drake grinned widely. "Gladly"

2006-01-16 [First Wizard]: Drake looks to Dylan as she nears him and starts to slightly question if she even heard him. It'd be a shame for that scare tactic to have gone to waste he thought.

2006-01-16 [Bastet]: Korui wasn't if this palce was safe or not, it looked like it though. She tighten her grip on the strap of her bag.

2006-01-16 [Sabrina Catherine]: Dylan saw a girl in front of the gate. "Hello?"

2006-01-16 [First Wizard]: Drake continued to sit against the inner wooden double-doors of the gate, waiting for the women to notice him.

2006-01-16 [Bastet]: Korui turned to Dylan. "H-hello."

2006-01-16 [First Wizard]: ((Which girl's that to? Serania, Korui, or does she think Drake's the ugliest woman alive? lol))

2006-01-16 [First Wizard]: ((works fer me))

2006-01-16 [Sabrina Catherine]: ((It's to Korui, sorry lol))

2006-01-16 [Sabrina Catherine]: "I'm Dylan, and you are?"

2006-01-16 [First Wizard]: ((aww..... lol))

2006-01-16 [divinesage]: Arin chose that moment to run up to Serania. He was tall, a couple inches taller than Serania, with long golden hair and startlingly blue eyes. He was panting from the long, panicked run. "S-serania...need to... talk to you..." he wheezed.

2006-01-16 [Bastet]: "Korui." She stated a bit shyly.

2006-01-16 [Sabrina Catherine]: "That's a pretty name. What is this place? do you know?"

2006-01-16 [divinesage]: ((Don't worry Jay, you're an ugly enough women for the both of you ^^))

2006-01-16 [divinesage]: Serania looked up at him. "What's wrong? Did Lan beat you up again? Where does it hurt?"

2006-01-16 [First Wizard]: Drake looked to the two women and called out loud enough to catch their attention, "It's the graveyard of the Agendain empire and the resurrecting place of it too."

2006-01-16 [divinesage]: "N-no... just... the girls... they're chasing me. You have to hide me!" Arin said as he leapt behind Drake.

2006-01-16 [Sabrina Catherine]: Dylan jumped. "Oh, thanks.... is it alright if we come in?"

2006-01-16 [divinesage]: Serania sighed and gave Arin a sympathetic pat on the head. Then she turned to Drake and flashed him a smile. " You're trying too hard."

2006-01-16 [Osborn#67]: *andrea looked on* whats going on?

2006-01-16 [Bastet]: Korui jumped at the sound of Drakes voice and turned to face him. "R-really?"

2006-01-16 [Osborn#67]: *looks surprised* what did i do?

2006-01-16 [First Wizard]: Drake laughed at Arin and stood up, lifting him under an arm. He turned to the two women and smiled kindly. "Sure, just don't try to stay in the castle. It's the emperors and he's none too nice. They say he's the most powerful man alive and has a temper so vile it can scare the gods." He walked to the guard who nodded and opened a small, 6-foot door inside one of the larger, 30-foot high double-doors, letting them in. Drake had to double over to get through. He then spoke to Arin, "Come on Arin. I'm givin you to those girls an yer gettin laid."

2006-01-16 [First Wizard]: ((Andrea? Who dat? Mind sendin me a profile for him so I can replace Azual with it then. The whole thing's started over though so Drake doesn't know him, btw.))

2006-01-16 [divinesage]: Arin's eyes widened. "You're... GIVING me to them? Drake, you bastard! Let me go! Damn it..."

2006-01-16 [divinesage]: Serania sighed and got up. "Drake, let him down. He's still in his 'Girls Have Cooties' stage, he'll get there eventually."

2006-01-16 [Sabrina Catherine]: "Hello? Are we welcome here or not? I just need a place to stay.... to belong...."

2006-01-16 [divinesage]: "They aren't girls, they're DEMONS! Now let me go!" Arin protested.

2006-01-16 [First Wizard]: Drake laughed at Arin. "They're either the greatest creatures the gods have ever made or you're gay so come on an yer about to find out which it is."

2006-01-16 [Sabrina Catherine]: Dylan was sort of frightened by the conversation, but thought there were other people here that were better suited to her personality.

2006-01-16 [Bastet]: Korui took a step back slightyl blushing.

2006-01-16 [Osborn#67]: *andrea went to the recruiten hall to join up*

2006-01-16 [First Wizard]: Drake looked back over his shoulder to Dylan and Korui. "You two comin or aint'cha? I said the you could come in. Just heed my warning about the emperor."

2006-01-16 [divinesage]: Serania laughed. "Come on Drake, let the boy grow into his hormones. Be thankful he isn't like most boys his age. Actually... like all men." She walked up and grabbed Drake's arm. "No need for his first time to be a gang rape."

2006-01-16 [Sabrina Catherine]: Dylan walked in. "O-ok...." She hurried away to another part of the empire.

2006-01-16 [divinesage]: ((Stop picking on my favorite character! And Arin's not gay, he's just... well... Arin. lol.))

2006-01-16 [First Wizard]: ((nu-uh. I'm havin fun. lol))

2006-01-16 [divinesage]: ((You're gonna make me cry... don't make me use the puppy dog eyes!))

2006-01-16 [Sabrina Catherine]: She found a nice tree and leapt into it. She sighed.

2006-01-16 [Bastet]: Kouri walked through the gates looking around her curiousity slightyl back.

2006-01-16 [First Wizard]: Drake laughed and continued carrying Arin as he walked the wide path into the city. It's a gorgeous area with trees everywhere and large patches of flowers everywhere. The whole area except for the path is covered in lush, green grass and it looks absolutely amazing. The sight is stunning to those who aren't used to it.

2006-01-16 [Sabrina Catherine]: Dylan had seen far more amazing places, so she was used to it.

2006-01-16 [Bastet]: Korui gaped slighly as she walked along the path.

2006-01-16 [Osborn#67]: *andrea walked out to the courtyard where the others were* now where did they go?

2006-01-16 [First Wizard]: ((the empire's one of the most beautiful places on earth....))

2006-01-16 [divinesage]: Serania walked her light, even gait behind Drake. She had been here many times before, but still enjoyed it. It was nice to be back.

2006-01-16 [Bastet]: "it's beautiful..." Korui said. She had never seen anythign like it before.

2006-01-16 [Sabrina Catherine]: ((I know, but she knows of one that is close to her heart that she finds prettier))

2006-01-16 [First Wizard]: Drake grinned and looked over his shoulder at her. "Glad you like it. It took me forever to get it this way. I take price in keeping the empire beautiful. It's a hard job tending to all the plantlife in the entire city but when you love it, it makes it a lot easier. It's better than how evil and scary it used to be."

2006-01-16 [divinesage]: "Somehow, I just can't see you as a gardener, Drake."

2006-01-16 [Osborn#67]: *andrea walked down a trail and heard voices coming from the oppisite side of the trees* time for a little scare. *he grinned as he jumped into a tree and walked on a branch near the other trail*

2006-01-16 [divinesage]: Arin rolled his eyes. "Gardener my ass... the soil's way to dry, these flowers are withering... And your choice of trees... argh, they won't last long in this dry spell."

2006-01-16 [Sabrina Catherine]: Dylan sighed.
