The Journal of Korvian
Part one: Fire and Shadow
As planned the Princess Katrina arrived at my house under the cover of darkness. To the Northwest the night sky glowed an eerie redish color. The battle for Aluvaris had begun.
One year and eight months prior the lady katrina had accidently stumbled across scrolls, hidden in her foster mothers bed chamber detailing how to summon and control a shadow army. Originally Katrina had been looking to steal back a necklace that the queen had wrongfully taken. However in her searching for the necklace, Katrina found the scrolls. Reconizing immedeatly what the scrolls were, Katrina fled the room with the scrolls.
At that time I had known the Princess Katrina for almost a year, and as such the lady Katrina came to me with the scrolls, trusting that I would be able to help. Already familiar with the queen's vial ways, the scrolls were of little suprise to me. Thus after brief conversation with Katrina, I took the scrolls to my father, Valx, who was a knight of the Valorian Highguard. My father looked over the scrolls and decided it best for Valorian, the founder and leader of the Valorin Highguard to look over the scrolls himself. As such, Valx took Katrina and myself to visit Valorian.
Studing the scroll, Valorian sighed deeply and begin to tell the lady Katrina and myself of the highguard's secret mission. For nearly 35 years the highguard had been keeping an eye on the queen's darker side. Despite all they had discovered Valorian could not bring himself to disgrace the king by arresting his wife. As such he and his most trusted knights worked in secret to prevent the queen's plans from succeeding. For 35 years they had been successful in their secret war, a war my own father was a part of. Even I had unknowingly been a part of their war right after I met the Lady Katrina and my father had me apointed as Katrina's personal guard.
Unfortunatly, for all of their success, the scrolls Katrina had discovered showed what Valorian was fearing, they were slowly lossing the war. Understanding the desperateness of the situation, Lady Katrina and I offered to assist in any way we could. From that nigh on Katrina and I were solders in a war that could never end with victory.
Now one year and eight months later the end of the war was Nigh. The queen, to our dismay, had managed to secure the items needed to open a permanent portal to the realm of shadows, summon forth from that portal an army of shadow knights and conrtol them. We knew we could no longer fear disgracing the king and as such he was made aware of the queen's actions.
As expected, the king was greatly angered by his wifes treachery and immedeatly ordered Valorian to arrest her. However when Valorian, my father, and I got to the queen's room she had already fled the castle with the ritual items, her door guards brutally murdered by her own hand.
We knew then that we had only one option open to us, we would have to wage an all out attack on the temple of Oleska, the only place the queen could go that had enough magical energies to make her dark ritual possible. Fearing that the mission might fail Valorian organized a way to keep Katrina safe. Thus as night fell, Katrina made her way to my home while the Highguard organized outside the temple of Oleska.
What exactly happened at the temple I will never know. However shortly after Katrina had arrived at my house, my father rushed through the front door holding Valorian's Katana, still in it's sheath. His eyes showed fear and his words matched that fear.
As quickly as he could he explained as best he could what he saw happen...As the high guard fought their way into the ritual chamber the queen opened the portal to the realm of shadows. Unfortunatly she made a mistake in her ritual and the binding magics that were supposed to bind the shadow knights and make them controlable by the one who summoned them failed, resulting in an uncontrolled invasion of shadow. The queen and her followers were killed almost immedeatly. As the highguard begin to engadge the shadow knights in a futile battle, Valorian gave his Katana to my father and ordered him to get Katrina to the shipyard.
Following my father, Katrina, my mother and myself set out into the night heading for the shipyards. Quickly and quietly we travled and as we went the sounds of death and destruction begin to echo through the streets. As was expected and feared the shadow knights had broken through the Highguard's defenses at the temple and now rampaged out of control slaughtering anyone they came across.
Tragically my father was one such victim. As we reached the small metal arch that marked the enterance to the shipyards a shadow knight, covered in the blood of his past victims lunged out from a side ally we were passing and stabbed my father through the chest with a massive broad sword. Lifting my father into the air with the sword the shadow knight pinned him against the wall of a warehouse behind him and held him there for a few seconds before sliding the blade from his chest and letting him fall to the ground.
Time felt as if it stood still. Shock overwhelmed me and my mind went completely blank. My eyes focused on my father who was laying against the werehouse wall covered in his own blood.
As the shadow knight turned his attention towards Katrina, my mother, and myself, my father looked up towards me, smiled weakly, and with his last bit of energy tossed Valorian's Katana to me. Catching the sheathed blade, I felt a surge of magical energy flow from the weapon and through my body. My mind cleared and I regained control of my rampant emotions. My focus changed from my father to the Shadow Knight. Letting a bit of anger and the desire for revenge to flow through my mind and dominate my emotions I narrowed my eyes into a glare and lunged with all of my strength towards the shadow knight.
To this very day I am still amazed by what happened in that very moment and I am still confident that Valorian's Katana was what enabled me to do what I did then, even though I have since preformed the same attack with weapons other than Valorian's Katana. However I digress.
In that very moment everything around me became a blur and I felt a rush of wind. My mind focused on only one thing, the shadow knight infront of me. My eyes focused on a specific target, the shadow knight's chest. I could fel my right hand grip the katana's hilt as my left hand held tight to the katana's sheath.
In what must have been a blink of an eye I closed the distance between myself and the shadow knight, so fast the shadow knight did not have time to even defend itsself from what came next. In a single fluid strike I unsheathed the katana from it's sheath and sliced it into the shadow knights chest plate, cusing the sound of metal smashing metal to eecho through the street. As my blade sliced it's way across the shadow knight's armor I let momentum take over as I brought the katana's sheath around and smashed it into the shadow knights head. Again the sound of metal smashing metal echoed through the streats as the sheath smashed in the shadow knights helmet and spiraled the shadow knight to the ground. Seeing my oportunity to deal my death blow I tossed the katna slightly into the air and caught it with the blade angled downward. Swiftly I stabbed the blade down towards the shadow knights chest, peircing through the weakened metal and through to the shadow knights chest. Giving the blade a good twist the shadow knight let out a demonic sounding death scream then lay still, it's life taken. Pulling the blade from the chest of the fallen shadow knight I gave it a slight spin with my wrist then slid it back into the sheath.
Turning to look back at the others the events that had occured at that time slowly begin to set in. However I had to choke back my emotions, gave my father one last goodbye and lead Lady katrina and my mother on to the shipyard and the royal families personal ship.
As the ships crew rushed to prepare the ship for travel we all watched as others fleeing the slaughter rushed through the gates of the ship yard. Knights of the highguard that had survived the battle at the temple set themselves up at the shipyards enterance and helped the fleeing viliagers to board any and all sea worthy ships, while at the same time bravely fighting off any and all shadow knights that came rampaging down towards the shipyards.
Finally, an hour after we had boarded the ship we begin to set sail, leaving the death and destruction behind. Katrina joined me on deck as we begin to pull away from the shipyards along with a few other ships that could wait nolonger to leave.
Leaning against the ships ralling I continued to watch the onslaught that we were leaving behind, the entire night sky illuminated with the red glow of flames. Then, as I and the lady katrina watched in silence a bright beam of white light shot up into the sky originating from the temple and lighting up the sky as if it were day.
In horror we watched as the beam expanded outwards engulfing the entire land of Aluvaris before becoming so bright that it forced us to close our eyes and look away. All around us I heard screams of terror. Upon my right hand I felt the Lady katrina's hand which I gripped tightly. Then followed weightlessness and then...nothing.
Part two: Awakening Prophecy
Comming....whenever I feel like writing it.
An important note: Korvian has no living Blood relatives, and has NO relation to any of the other BARP charactes other than Darkbness who is a sworn brother, and Amin who is a sworn brother by default. Any profile that has Korvian listed as being as a relative is WRONG and I ask here on my profile that they change it and remove me from their list of relatives or clerify with me why I'm on that particular list
Weapons
Dagger of The High Guard- This is a standard elven dagger. It carries on it an enchantment which allows it to resist dulling. Upon it's hilt is a dark blue gem encrusted into the metal at the base of the blade.
Katana of Valorian-This weapon is a powerful blade that was weilded by Valorian, the original founder of the Valorian High Guard. The night the shadows engulfed my home land Valorian gave this blade to my father and instructed him to get me and the Lady Katrina to the ship yard and safely out to sea. My father saddly was struck down by a shadow knight as we neared the ships, but in his final breaths he tossed the still sheathed blade to me. It was then I reconized the power of the blade when I was able to use it to destroy with little effort the Shadow knight that had ambushed my father. Years after Katrina and I had escaped the battle I discovered The blade was said to have been forged out of a material found only in small quantaties through out my ancient homeland. As such it is essentially unbreakable and through enchantments now lost to the mists of time never dulls.
Armor:
Shadow Nova Armor: Discovered in a hidden chamber within Valorian's bedchamber while I was visiting the ruins of Alavaris which was apparently pulled into the void between realms by Valorian to prevent the shadow invasions spread. Containing powerful spiritual energy, I've come to realize that the armor is capable of absorbing mana energy from all around storing it then releasing it into it's wearer whenever it is needed. The full potential of this armor is as of yet undetermined, although I hope that studing the journals and books I recovered from Valorian's room will turn up some answers pertaining to this rather mysterious suit of armor.
Powers/Skills
I have decided after some debate to remove my list of powers and skills for one major reason: I do not think that I need to list my powers and skills in my profile. I know what I am capable of and those that know me know what I am able to do and that is all that matters.

Korv's favorite moments (most resent to oldest)
August 31st 2006-engagement to the lady katrina (Thanks to Katrina for saving the log)
korvian decides he may have a bit of a wait so he walks over to his fire pit, grabs some logs, arranges them then with a wave of his left hand sets them ablaze. He sits down on a log infront of his fire pit and smiles as he gazes into the fire..
korvian stands slowly having waited long enough for katrina to come out with out motivation. Thus he waves his hand and puts out the fire and walks along the small dirt path from the tool shed where he lived up to the front door of the main house in which lady katrina resided.
korvian stopped at the front door and straightened his shirt and cloak before knocking upon the door..
katrina puts down the book she was studying and walks slowly to the door and answers it.
korvian watches the door swing open slightly and bows to katrina "Greetings m'lady. I...hope I did not disturb anything,".
katrina smiles warmly "only my studies but everything disturbs my studying".
korvian nods slightly "My apologies then,".
katrina shakes her head "it's ok, would you like to come in?".
korvian Shakes his head slightly before smiling "Actually I am here to ask if you would like to come out,".
katrina peers outside slightly looking around before taking a step outside.
korvian chuckles slightly before stepping back and holding out his left hand "I assure you that everything is safe. I strengthened the barrier lastnight...the only thing that could possibly get through that thing now are the Gods...and immortals..
katrina takes korvian's hand silently and takes another step.
korvian nods slightly before a thought occures to him "Perhaps some of the more powerful of the mortals...but none of them have an interest in entering here being they are all busy with their own affairs, whatever they may be,".
katrina nods while still looking around.
korvian chuckles slightly again "Sorry, I digress...Nice evening wouldn't you say?".
katrina shutters a little "that it is but a bit chilly".
korvian nods slightly "It won't be that bad where we are going,".
korvian begins leading Katrina through her yard and to the enterance of her rose garden. As they near the large gates at the garden's enterance two lanterns on either side of the gate flicker to life with a magical flame,".
katrina looks towards korv with a confused look "where exactly are we going?".
korvian motions with his free hand towards the garden "You'll see,".
katrina sighs slightly with impatients and thinks she's played enough games recently.
korvian walks to the gate and opens it then motions for Katrina to join him "M'lady,I assure you that what awaits you will be worth your time,".
katrina with hesitations heads towards the gate and walks through it.
korvian offers his hand once more as he looks into katrina's eyes..
katrina takes korv's hand once again hoping that the place isn't much further away.
korvian begins to walk through the garden leading katrina. As they walk lanterns staked into the ground light up infront of them as they approch, burning with a soft magical flame which floated about in it's glass prision. Making his way on through the garden's paths he lead katrina finally to the garden's center which had been decorated hours ago by Terric and Epoch. In each of the eight compass points were moderatly sized bonfires which provided ample light and warmth for the area. Directly infront of the garden's fountain centerpeice was an elegant table with two chairs and two plates of food. One contained the lady Katrina's favorit dish, while the other contained his. Letting go of Katrina's hand at he walked around one of the bonfires and to the table where he slid out katrina's chair and beconed for her to sit down.
katrina smiles as she carefully steps around the fire and sits down in the chair.
korvian walked to the side of the table and picked up one of the cloth napkins folded it and held it for Katrina to accept.
katrina takes the napkin gingerly before placing it in her lap and smoothed it out.
korvian finally sits down himself, takes the remaining napkin, folds it and places it into his lap. He then watches silently for katrina to begin eatting before he even touches a peice of the silverwear...which were mythrial mixed with silver in this case..
katrina looks over the salad that sat before her and bowed her head in quick prayer before taking a bite of the crisp lettuce.
korvian joined the quick prayer then begain to eat as well..
katrina continues looking down while spearing a piece of tomato and eating it.
korvian smiles as he sees Katrina enjoying her meal. "We've been through alot, you and I...,".
katrina looks up at korv and laughs "yes, I suppose we have".
korvian "of course we can't leave out Epoch and Terric...who are no doubt in town getting into some form of trouble...again,".
katrina picks up a bit more lettuce with her fork and before eating it nods to korv and responds "those two are almost more trouble than thier worth, but of course I could say the same thing about you".
korvian rubs the back of his head as he takes another bite of food. His entire body still hurt a bit from his earlier run in with that infernal tangle tree forest. "Yeah..but at least they're there when we need them. As for me...well I'm just here," Grins slightly.
katrina rolls her eyes and smiles "yes, I can always count on you to get into some sort of fight and end up ruining my garden".
korvian chuckles "At least I put it back together...and I've been doing a better job of taking threats out before they get here,".
katrina takes another bite of her salad before responding "thank goodness you have and at least you don't need me to save you everytime".
korvian looks up from his food "If I did, I wouldn't make much of a guardian, or leader for the Valorian Highguard...,".
katrina looks deep into korv's eyes "even the mightest fall sometimes".
korvian looks down from katrina's gaze and nods solemly "This is true...," He slid his left hand down, below the table as if reaching for his napkin in his lap but instead motioned with his hand and opened a very small shadow portal which he reached into. when he pulled his hand back out he had in his hand one of the small felt covered boxes from the inside of the pine box. Placing his fork down next to his plate he looked up to Katrina and into her eyes.
katrina gazes into korv's eyes with a questioning look "this is an unexpected treat and I thank you".
korvian nods slightly "You are welcome...though the night is not complete yet," He stood slowly as he placed his left hand behind his back to make it appear as if he were mearly standing elegantly. stepping to the side he walked up next to katrina and faced her "With all that we have been through I have hid my feelings for you as best as I could, though they've always been there. I feel that...even though you too have never truely expressed feelings for me that they are there as well," Bending down upon one knee he revealed the felt covered box and opened it to reveal a silver ring with a rose shapped ruby. "My lady, it would be an honor if you would accpet me as more than simply a guardian, but rather your Husband as well,".
katrina gazing at the geogious ring thinks a little before standing up and trying to form a solemn face "do you really think that asking me this abruptly is a wise thing to do?".
korvian stays where he is and looks up at her "Milady, I do not know when I may get another perfect night such as this, and I know my feelings for you are true,".
katrina kneels down on the ground in front of him and while trying to hide a smile "you are brave to put your heart on the line when you haven't an idea of my reall feelings for you".
korvian "Your answer will not sway my love for you. Though if you say no I shall mearly try again some other time,".
katrina giggles slightly "I do know you to be a persistant man but can I really have your feelings interfear with your job as my guardian?".
korvian smiles slighty "I have loved you for these past 2 years...my feelings only make me fight harder to protect you,".
katrina places her hands on his "do you really think you can tame my wild heart when no man so far has been able to? And if you think protecting me is hard being with me is even harder".
korvian "You've never seen some of the things I've fought for you...I am up to the challange and if loving you is harder than protecting you then so be it. As for your wild heart, I wish not to tame it...for that free spirit of yours is what I love,".
katrina smiles brightly while leaning forward running her cheek against his "despite what you think and the appearance I keep up I'm not perfect".
korvian whispers in her ear "nor am I" he then brushes her ear with a kiss..
katrina blushes brightly then gazes deeply into korv's eyes in silence.
korvian slowly removes the ring from the box and lets the box fall, he reaches for her apropriate hand as he gazes deep into katrina's eyes..
katrina offers her left hand.
korvian takes her hand and slides the ring upon her ring finger and smiles widely.
katrina kisses him gently "keep smiling like that and I'll regret saying yes".
korvian forces a more solem face then kisses Katrina wrapping his arms around her.
katrina giggles while whispering "leave it to you to make a production like this".
korvian slowly stands and offers his hand to Katrina "Yes, but I knew I had to if I planned to win your heart,".
katrina takes his hand and stands "if I didn't already have feelings for you this wouldn't have affected my heart at all".
korvian nods slightly and smirks "Good thing I was sure you already had feelings for me then,".
katrina fwaps him gently "haven't you learned to never assume anything about me?".
korvian rubs his head where he was fwaped to fake injury "Have you not learned that I can sense emotion...expecially stronger ones?".
katrina fwaps him again "that's for sensing my emotions without my permission".
korvian grins "Sorry...I couldn't help it. Your emotions when you are around me are usually pretty overwelming...and usually all over the place. There's only been one that stays constant..and that's the one that is identifiable as affection or love if it's strong enough...,".
katrina starts walking back towards her house "and you assume that I can't mask my emotions".
korvian follows behind " I know you can, that's why yours are all over the place. I could only figure that you were deleberatly not trying to mask your affections towards me since it remained constant,".
katrina looks back at him "you know that even though I love you I still could have said no. many smart people don't follow silly emotions".
korvian nods "Yes, I know. You do not have any idea how much I feared traveling to the fartherest ends of Barp trying to find that ring for you only to have it and me turned down,".
katrina stops infront of him for a second then continuing on "after all you protected me from you fear rejection the most?".
korvian stopped and looked deeply into her eyes "From you, yes. I am bound to do my job, protecting you, if I am rejected by you then my life is forfit,".
katrina giggles again "perhaps but if you were a true protector and fiancee I wouldn't be walking back to my house".
korvian chuckles "I agree" raises his right hand and motions to make a shadow portal infront of them. He then holds his hand out for Katrina to take.
katrina takes his hand "it's just like you to take the easy way out".
korvian "I see...you mean I should carry you,".
katrina blushes brightly and smiles.
korvian closes the portal infront of them and quickly lifts Katrina into his arms. "Next stop, your house," he whispered then begain to walk through the gardens trails. Reaching the gates he chanted a few words in elvesh and as they passed the gates they closed behind them. He continued onward until he reached the front door of Katrina's home.
katrina waited paintently for korv to put her down.
korvian kisses katrina's forhead gently then sets her down infront of her door and smiles.
katrina kisses him gently on the lips "thank you for the best night of my life".
korvian returns the kiss then bows "You are welcome milady,".
katrina opens the door to her house and steps in before looking back at korv.
korvian stands silently watching, a small smile upon his face..
katrina offers her hand to korv and silently waits for him to accept.
korvian looks down at katrina's hand having not expected to be invited inside. Nodding slowly he reached out and accepted her hand..
katrina slowly leads korv into the house "if we are to be married we can't have you living in a shed".
korvian rubs the back of his head and laughs "No...I suppose we can't. Though for your modesty I shall respect your privacy and sleep upon this sofa,".
katrina nods.
korvian looks towards the sofa "It looks far more comfortable than the cot I typically sleep on,".
korvian looks back towards katrina and smiles at her before stepping towards her. "I...Love you,".
katrina looking back at korv "I love you to my guardian and protector".
korvian bows slightly to his love and looks towards the sofa. "If you are tired I shall allow you to retreat to your chambers, otherwise, you are welcome to stay here and talk with me about anything you like..
katrina smiles as she starts up the stairs to her room "you of all people know I need my beauty sleep. we will speak more tomorrow morning...assuming you aren't getting in some sort of trouble".
korvian smiles "For now I shall leave the trouble to Epoch and Terric. Good night m'love and sleep well. Wake me if you need anything,".
Malice (August 12th-13th 2004. One battle two days to complete)
(special thanks to Malice for sending me the log)
Malice Vs. Korvian: Training/sparring/Fighting over whether I(malice) have beating right on dorkbnes or not ;)
[Malice says "and how are you Korv?".
[Korvian walks over and starts stabbing random ping bunnies near the barp enterance "Oh i'm good,".
[Malice smirks at Korvian "easing a little stress?".
[Korvian stabs another ping bunny and shakes his head as he flings the dead body from his sword blade and into another ping bunny "No, just trying to help people get into barp easier,".
[Malice watches the corpse land next to it and he idly pokes its eye with his tail before chuckling "i'm sure they'll appreciate your efforts...".
[Korvian chuckles "besides they wanted to give me troubles getting on...so I'm giving them war,".
[Malice launches a fireball at one of the bunnies that hops about and smirks slightly before lying on his back "wasn't there something we were supposed to do?...".
[Korvian jumps over a rabid ping bunny as it lunges at him, lands and quickly turns back around, bringing his blade around with him removing the bunnies head "Yes, but it was postponed due to the over abundance of ping bunnies,".
[Malice smirks upon remembering "ah yes, the duel over the beating rights...." he gets up from the rock and boots a ping bunny with all his strength into a tree, watching with morbid satisfaction as it slams into a bloody mess upon contact with the tree trunk.
[Korvian turns to face malice with a chuckle "do you wish to begin that duel now?".
[Malice stretches out a bit, smirking the whole while "that would always be nice".
[Korvian nods and spins his katana with a flick of the wrist and holds it ready.
[Malice just sighs at Dorkbne's inanity before turning to Korvian. He grins and materializes the soul saber in his hands, its form taking that of a claymore..."ready...set..." Malice charges at Korvian with a quick swipe aiming to go from his left hip to his right shoulder..."go!".
[Korvian sidesteps in towards Malice and to his right bringing his katana blade up so that his blade would block Malice's quick attack. With Malice's attack blocked he quickly brought his left foot up past his right leg in a weak yet effective kick aimed for the lower part of Malice's front knee (probably the left).
[Malice notices the kick just as it slams into his knee and he lets the leg that was attacked buckle. As he drops, he lets his weight pull him back wards and tucks up before rolling back up to his feet and switching into a ready stance.
[Korvian takes advantage of Malice having to recover to dash at him, bringing his katana down aiming for Malice's right shoulder and down, towards Malice's left hip.
[Malice notices Korvian coming at him and drops backwards, seeming to fall until he props himself midair with his soul saber, watching Korvian’s attack pass over him. He pushes himself back up with another force to send himself towards Korvian in an attempt to check him out of balance.
[Korvian realizes to late to do much of anything about the attack other than turn his blade and cross it across his body in front of him hoping that malice would cut himself on the blade. Regardless the attack was still powerful, lifting him off the ground a bit and driving him backwards a good six inches.
[Malice stares at the newly formed gash in his chest and chuckles. He then quickly brings his claymore for a spin slash starting towards Korvian’s shoulders and spinning with enough speed to quickly come full circle, crouching as he spins so that the next attack would be towards his waist.
[Korvian, still going backwards as Malice unleashed his spinning attack he let his momentum cause him to fall backwards where he rolled backwards away from the attacks. The roll brought him immediately to his feet and planting his left leg as Malice's second slash flew past he dashed in while Malice was still knelt. Stabbing his blade through the air, hoping to catch Malice in the throat or neck.
[Malice immediately notices his error upon seeing Korvian's rapid recovery. He looks at Korvian's blade sweep in, and slowly shifts his weight to the side, causing the blade to catch him in the shoulder instead of the neck. As the blade cuts into his unarmored flesh, he sprint forwards, aggravating the wound but in basis immobilizing the sword as he brings the hilt of the blade towards Korvian's stomach.
[Korvian catches sight of the attack from the bottom of his eyes, however with his sword embedded in Malice, and not enough time to remove his sheath from his belt he knew the only thing he could do was take the hit. However if he was going to be hit he was at least going to make Malice work for the damage the hilt of his sword would do, and immediately summoned up his spirit shield which would be ineffective against the physical attack, but with Malice so close to him it would be very effective in attacking Malice's very soul, hopefully blasting Malice away from him, and if he was lucky take away Malice's ability to become a winged demon.
[Malice curses as he notices the sudden flux of energy emit from Korvian. He feels the shield slam into him and launch him a good few feet backwards, his soul sword dissipating with his concentration interrupted. He hits the ground with a small thud and immediately starts to roll to his feet his eyes ablaze with an emerald light....
[Korvian staggers backwards with a hand held to his stomach where Malice had scored a hit. He took a few deep breaths to regain his focus and to ensure he had not gotten the wind knocked out of him. Locking eyes with his opponent again he knew Malice was up to something. Taking his sword in both of his hands again he readied himself for what Malice was about to throw at him.
[Malice slowly gets to his feet and begins to trace patterns in the air, his arms starting to take a familiar hue, matching the luminescence of his eyes. He begins to chant in an eldritch tongue, his tail twitching in agitation as he does.
[Korvian mutters as he realizes his attack had only gotten rid of Malice's sword, and that Malice was trying to summon up his wings. Somehow he had to find a way to stop him from changing or this battle was going to become very, very difficult. Thinking quickly he begin to shunt mana into his sword blade and closed his eyes. As his katana blade begins to glow bright white he opened his eyes and stabbed the blade into the ground. The result was an earth attack designed to split the ground in two between him, and Malice.
[Malice watches as the rift in the earth forms in between himself and Korvian. He smirks evilly as a pair of familiar lumps form on his back. As he prepares to finish casting the spell he started, a sudden reverberation from the quake causes him to mess up the gestures and the casting is interrupted. He curses quietly before folding his arms in front of himself, the hue of green growing brighter.
[Korvian realizing that his earth split attack did little to stop Malice, he realized that he would have to resort to something more powerful...something he had only used once and with very mixed results. Sheathing his sword, he closed his eyes and begin to chant in elfish. In doing so his body began to glow a faint reddish orange. Spreading his arms straight out to his sides and holding them there with his palms facing the ground a circle of orange red flame begin to form around his body. As the circle completed he opened his eyes and brought his hands together in front of his face. Once there, his hands engulfed in flames which burned his skin even as his spirit shield worked to protect him from his own magic. Pulling his hands apart a sphere of fire formed and hovered over top of the ground. As he moved his palms together a flickering sphere of orange formed and encased the oversized fireball. Pulling his hands back to his chest he planted his left foot and shoved out towards Malice with his hands yelling out the words "Flamgra".
[Malice 's eyes immediately looked at the massive ball of fire, with a mix of curiosity and panic, the aura that had formed around him shift's colors, changing from the bright emerald hue to an almost translucent colors, the air where it flickered looking vaguely distorted. The lumps on his back begin to crack open as Malice concentrates on building the air aura to its peak...
[Korvian The force of the massive fireball being launched at Malice drove Korvian backwards a good foot and lit up his spirit shield as the heat still burned his arms and hands. The heat from the fireball as hit hurtled towards malice superheated the air along its path causing crackles of thunder all along its path, which vibrated the very earth its self. Dropping to his knees he watched as the fire ball seemed to stop in mid air as it neared malice then he brought up his left arm to shield himself from the debris that the fireball kicked up when it went supersonic, sending a loud echoing boom ripping through out the battle field.
[Malice had ceased to focus on the fireball the moment it had been fully formed, instead aiming all of his attention towards the creation of his only chance at a defense. He concentrates for a moment before expending all of the gathered air energy in one instant, just as the warmth of the fireball becomes intolerable. The air around him begins to solidify, greatly reducing the effectiveness of the attack but far from enough to cease it. He watches as the fire engulfs around him, and feels himself get launched forward as the blaze licks at his flesh. He feels his back slam into a rock and drops to the ground, slightly twitching....
[Korvian watches as his attack engulfs Malice as chunks of the earth pelted him from when the fireball went supersonic. He watched as the fireball subsided and waited to see any sign of Malice. He knew that he was still alive, but how effective the attack had been was yet to be seen. Standing slowly he watched as the air around were Malice stood still shimmered with waves of heat. Taking a few cautious steps forward he finally saw Malice laying in front of a rock..
[Malice waits for his vision to cease blurring before slowly propping against the rock and getting to his feet. A pair of translucent wings slowly drags on the ground behind him, and he stares at his friend at loss for words at the strength of the attack. He closes his eyes for a moment, his body barely able to hold itself up and a shimmering distortion forms around his body. He reaches behind his back and pulls out his shield and it shimmers as well.....
[Korvian chuckles having expected as much. He drew his katana again and eyed Malice. He could feel the strain in his body now. The last attack had used a lot of his mana. Breathing heavier now he took in a few deep breaths and stood ready for Malice...
[Malice glances at Korvian and manages to chuckle at his friends readiness. He draws the soul cloak that he's summoned around himself and leaps backwards, landing unevenly on the ground behind the rock and out of Korvian’s sight. He smirks slightly as the secondary power of the cloak takes effect and he slowly slinks a small distance away and goes into a prone position waiting for his regeneration to heal the wounds.
[Korvian sighs and shakes his head. Even in his weaken state he knew were Malice was especially since he was using regeneration to heal his wounds. Using two well-timed lightning strikes to propel himself at supersonic speeds around the rock and towards malice's position, he shunted a small bit of spirit energy into his sword and slashed it through the air from left to right. He had no specific target but if the blade even remotely grazed malice the spirit energy charged into the blade was meant to flow into malice's body and begin to counter act the regeneration process.
[Malice could sense Korvian’s soul rapidly jump positions. As Korvian goes to slash at him, he raises the oversized shield up in the path of the strike, using the connection the soul shield has with his aura to create a small counter by infusing it with the essence of electricity...
[Korvian feels the surge of energy flow through his blade. However since the attack was not that powerful his spirit shield absorbed most of the energy and changed it into mana, restoring his strength. Knowing where Malice's shield was, he pulled his sword away and spun around, however instead of using his sword, he lashed out with a spinning side kick, aimed for malice's stomach, or if he was crouched his head.
[Malice watches as Korvian breaks of from the attack with the sword only to quickly follow up with a kick. He smiles as the wings that dragged behind him spread out in an instant, as if to push Korvian away and lift himself up all in one instant.
[Korvian being caught in the wind he felt himself lift off the ground. While not good, it was not exactly a bad thing either. Quickly regaining focus he held his left hand out. His body flashed yellow for a brief moment before 5 massive bolts of lightning shot down out of the sky where Malice was. The thunder from the lightning superheating the air was deafening and served to fling him away from Malice even more. Rolling in the air he landed safely atop the same rock that malice had slammed into earlier.
[Malice smirked slightly, and focused for a moment upon the bolts, getting a mental picture of the lightning and its distance from himself. In the instance before it strikes, he's already flew slightly to the side causing that only 2 of the five bolts would come in contact with him. As they strike him, his aura changes from the translucent distortion in the air to a mass of sparks and he absorbs the other two lightning bolts into his form. He closes his eyes in pain for a moment before refocusing the energy into a minute sphere the size of his palm.
[Korvian chuckles as Malice begins to charge an attack and spun his sword twice then held it at the ready. "dos inbal made nindol thalack jivvin Vilrath. Dos made ol isinth uss d'ussta attacks, jhal Usstan highly guu'lac dos orn morfeth isinth jalbyr".
[Malice spreads his wings out wide for a moment and laughs evilly before charging at Korvian, the sphere held above his head in his left hand as his right one is held in front of him, a ball of fire forming in it. As he closes the distance between himself and Korvian, he launches a fireball straight at the ground in an attempt to cloud sight of the follow up.
[Korvian chuckles as malice comes towards him. Smoke screen or not, he was not going to be on the rock when malice got to it. Back flipping off the rock and landing in a crouch behind the rock he waited for malice to fly over the rock. At the exact moment that he sensed malice near he slashed his sword upwards in an attempt at slicing malice as he flew overhead.
[Malice smiles slightly as he senses Korvian’s position shift behind the rock. He smiles inwardly figuring that Korvian was most likely attempting to set him up for something. Upon passing over the rock in his ready state, the sword attack by Korvian was easily predicted and he veers straight up in reaction, easily dodging it. He takes the lightning ball and hurls it towards Korvian, smirking about darkly about something as the sphere bears down on his friend..
[Korvian laughs as he watches the sphere hurl towards him. He had hoped that Malice would throw the electrical attack, for ever since he summoned the lightning attack he had been charging electrical energy into his spirit shield so that when the sphere hit him, the shield would actually be able to absorb the attack and send the power of the attack straight into his mana, which would nearly revive him completely. Holding his sword up as if it were a lightning rod he allowed the sphere to hit him and the electrical energy surge all around the spherical spirit shield as it lit up and begin to absorb the energy from the attack..
[Malice glares at Korvian and launches a rapid fireball at him, hoping to interrupt the absorption process before flying to a high altitude, intent on being the victor. Many thoughts pass through his minds as he ascends up into the sky....
[Korvian seeing the fireballs he quickly pulled his sword away and back flipped away letting the fire balls hit the ground where he had stood. While not able to absorb all of the electrical energy he had absorbed enough. Now he stood ready for malice's attack. Without the ability to fly there was no way to go after malice until malice came hurtling down to the ground...unless......
[Malice pauses once he’s ascended high enough into the sky that he can no longer see Korvian, instead relying on his highly tuned ability to sense souls to keep tabs on his position. He closes his eyes and begins to draw upon the full extent of his aura, a mist forming in the air around him....
[Korvian closes his eyes and holds his sword at the ready. He knew where Malice was; he also had an idea as to what he was doing. The only thing he could do was wait and hope.
[Malice hovers high above, his wings gently flowing back and forth through the air as he continues to focus his aura. The power of that aura slowly grows and the ensuing cloud of mist grows along with it. He concentrates for a moment and a portion of the energy is used to form a cloud that begins to expand. As it expands he shifts the remaining energy into earth and imbues the overly abundant water within the cloud with acidic properties and smirks as a downpour begins...Malice then begins to focuses once more on charging his aura up, using his energy to continually feed the cloud.
[Korvian mutters as his spirit shield begins to arch with each acidic raindrop that hit him. Thinking quickly he came up with an idea. He could not fly, nor would he be able to withstand the acidic rain long enough to charge up a shadow portal that would be able to absorb the attack and redirect it back to Malice. However, there was one thing he could do. Opening a shadow portal in front of him he stepped into the portal. The exit portal he formed above Malice. With out a way to fly, he knew his attack would need to be dead on. When the exit portal opened, he allowed it to fire him out at an accelerated speed aimed straight for Malice's right side. As he hurtled through the air, a streak of light was all that could be seen trailing behind him. Making sure his timing was exact, he waited until he was in just the right position before slashing his sword violently through the air from left to right, his sword leaving a bright white arch as it slashes through the air aimed to take out Malice's right wing.
[Malice stares as Korvian pops out near him, a look of surprise on his face. He tries to weave out of the way, but in his shocked state is not even close to fast enough to evade the attack. He hollers in agony, as the wing on his right side is cleanly severed, gravity one again taking effect upon his body. As he falls he makes a last ditch grab at Korvian, his demonic speed combined with the adrenaline making the gesture a blur....
The speed of Korvian's attack along with the direction of his attack made grabbing him impossible, even for Malice with his demon speed. (His attack had come from the above and gone down at an angle towards malice's wing) The very nature of the attack would have sent him flashing past and underneath Malice even before his wing came apart. The problem with this was that he would have been better off had Malice been able to grab him, now however he was hurtling towards the earth with no way to recover with out some form of injury....
Malice curses at the missed grapple, having hoped to use Korvian as a cushion in the ensuing fall. However all was not lost...in his current state, his aura was building up rapidly and all it required was a point of focus, which Malice gave it with a smirk. The wind begins to howl loudly as the ground continues to approach at breathtaking speeds. He manages to hold back a grin at the devastation his acid rain had done, the landscape blemished by pools of acidic water as he charges what may prove to be his final attack....
Korvian as he plummeted towards the earth he could feel his body stinging from the reminisce of Malice's acid mist. Sheathing his katana he knew his only hope was to shadow port. The problem was that even if he shadow ported he was going to come sailing out just as fast as he was traveling now unless he allowed the shadow realm to drain off the speed slowly. Unfortunately the longer he was in the shadow realm the harder it was for him to open an exit portal. He had no other choice though, and as he closed his eyes he began to focus his energy on a point far enough in front of him to allow him to fall into the portal.
Malice lets the wind take him down faster as he finishes focusing upon the element of wind, closing the distance between himself and Korvian gradually, allowing him to get better aim as his friend attempts to focus his means of escape. With a surprising fluidity, he slowly moves his right hand in front of him, using his left as a brace to keep his aim as a large distortion begins to form around his hand. As the distortion grows in his palm in both size and severity, his ascent begins to slow...With a great shout he lets loose a massive burst of wind towards his friends back, somewhat solidified from his focus. The outburst slows his descent to nothing, even reversing it for a moment before he begins to descend once more....
[Korvian just as the portal opens in front of him he is hit by the wind burst driving him slightly to the side and downward much faster than he had originally intended on going. Thankfully he would still hit the portal, unfortunately he would be hitting the edge of the portal, meaning whatever part of him was outside the portal when he hit it would be left in the normal realm..
[Malice looks below at the scene in shock, taking a moment he didn't really have to spare. He snaps out of his trance before focusing all his energy into a flash teleport. He vanishes from sight just before slamming into the ground the exact destination not known to him until there is a splash....
[Korvian just as he was to hit the portal he summoned up his spirit shield, which hit the edge of the portal with a bright opaque flash of orange light, flinging him sideways into the portal. As he crossed into the shadow realm he heard a strange electrical, ripping noise that truly had no description. He could only hope he had not torn a rift in reality between the two realms. As his body floated through the shadow realm gradually losing speed from he free fall his body rolled over and over again as a result of his spirit shield hitting the edge of the portal.
[Malice slowly rises from the pool of acidic water that he had fell in, the surface tension of the water having been fortunately been broken as a side effect of the still strong winds... He gradually makes his way over to the familiar rock and leans against it, wondering what became of his friend...He sighs heavily and uses his mage energies to heal himself, musing to himself that which he now flees is going to be what restores him. He sighs slightly as his wounds begin to heal more rapidly...his very blood being restored by the spell and speeding up the regeneration process...although he was far from healed it was a start. He ponders for a moment before drawing his remaining wing into himself, waiting for a sign.....
[Using what remaining mana he had, Korvian formed an exit portal hoping it would be close enough to the ground prevent him from becoming a splattered mess on the ground. Out by Malice several tendrils of black electrical energy begin to arch through the air before a disk ripped open. Thankfully the trip through the shadow realm plus the run in with the edge of his entrance portal had slowed him slightly, still he came flying out of the portal head first, and on his back. Tucking his head he hit the ground between his shoulders and rolled over his left shoulder twice, before his right foot caught a loose patch of soil twisting his ankle and sending him into a roll. He finally came to a stop a few feet from Malice.
[Malice glances at Korvian cautiously, trying to judge his state upon exiting the portal. "ya still in one piece, i see. Wish ta keep going". As he speaks, his feet move into a simple stance, the right foot held loosely in front, his left one held in a position vertical from the base of the other. His hands go up slightly in a wary manner, just in case.
[Korvian moaning a bit he opened his eyes and saw sky. Slowly he got to his feet and staggered back a bit as he realized his right ankle was going to protest his standing. He looked towards Malice as blood trickled down from the left corner of his mouth. His entire body ached and his skin burned from the acidic water that soaked his clothes. He let his left hand go over to the hilt of his katana and his left grip the sheath as his eyes locked with Malice's. His eyes glowed a faint cobalt blue.
[Malice 's eyes examined Korvian carefully, wondering how he was going to win against Korvian's impressive sword skills unarmed. He was impressed as always by the elfs determination...He slowly took in a breath, his leading foot shifting forward a bit. His left arm slowly lowered to his hip, the fist gripped tightly as his right one extended to his front. He waits.....
[Korvian begin to charge in at Malice, his ankle protesting every step. As he neared Malice, he drew his sword and slashed it through the air way early, with no chance of the slash ever hitting Malice. However the force of him pulling the sword was used as he planted his left foot and lunged himself through the air, aimed directly at Malice, his body turning in mid air and as his body begin to come back down and his body was almost facing Malice again he used the momentum of the spin to add to the strength of his angled slash aimed to catch Malice in the right shoulder and carve him down to the left hip.
[Malice watches as the blade closes in, he closes his eyes for a moment and moves intuitively. His body ducks down and forward as he uses the sudden shifting of the remaining weight from his left foot to his right to move himself straight towards Korvian, arms remaining in their position as he does. The blade still hits him in the shoulder, but due to him ducking down and moving forward it instead catches him across the back, the sheer speed and force of the cut causing a rather nasty gash to form across his back. As soon as he feels the blade almost reach the end of his back he slams his right hand forward before spinning his body to the left and stepping forward with his left foot, his left hand imitating the prior movement of his right.
[Korvian staggers backwards as Malice's hand catches him in the chest, however as Malice brought his left hand out in a similar attack, he rolled off to the left bringing him to Malice's inside. He then made a quick stab outwards aiming for the top of malice's stomach and the bottom of his chest..
[Malice gasps slightly as the blade pierces into him and through; unable to counter due to putting everything he had into the second punch. He slowly collapses backwards and off the sword....
[Korvian spinning the sword once he took a small step forward with his right foot and rotated the blade so that it was angled downward. He stabbed it straight down towards Malice's throat, however he had no intention of hitting Malice with the blade, rather he would stop it with the sharp tip of his katana touching Malice's skin..
[Malice watches as the blade comes towards him, gritting his teeth slightly as the palm of his hand begins to glow green, he flips his palm so its facing the ground and blasts it with a lag distortion field. He passes out before the ensuing explosion, hurled forward by the force of the sudden outburst of energy, quickly followed by heaps of dirt and chunks of stone...
[Korvian falling backwards from a sudden blast of some form, a rather large gash appeared in his left shoulder, but he had no idea were it was from. Looking down to Malice he noticed that blood was flowing from his wounds like a river. Frowning he knew something was very, very off...Looking about he realized everything was moving far faster than it should be..
[Malice fidgets slightly, only barely conscious. He coughs up a good bit of blood, before managing to drag his hand sluggishly to his throat, noting that a rather large gash had formed across his throat. He winced before carefully rolling over onto his back. With strained breathing he joined the bases of his wrists together and began to charge something up, a fiery aura surrounding himself with such ferocity that it was effecting him, burning his sin slightly and serving to cauterized the wounds....
[Korvian mutters under his breath knells and places his hands on the ground. There was only one thing he could do to actually end this battle in his slow state. He had regained just a small bit of mana but it would be enough for what he was going to do. Closing his eyes he begin to focus his energy into the ground. A small green circle formed around malice. Yelling out the words "Har'dro Luth'ol" his attack took form, 5 razor sharp shards of rock that would should up from underneath malice, hopefully piercing straight through him then rain back down on him as they return to the very earth they came from.
[Malice senses a sudden flux of energy from beneath him. Sensing an oncoming attack, he leveled his hands towards the ground at such an angle that the ensuing back blast would send him bouncing backwards and out of the way of Korvian’s attack. He unleashes a large torrent of flame from his hands towards Korvian, watching with some moderate degree of content, as a ball of flame burst a little bit ahead and pushes him almost entirely out of the way of Korvian’s attack. Unfortunately not all the way...one of the earthen daggers shreds through his leg and the ensuing pain causes him to pass out unable to look on as the ball of flame pulls itself together and jets forward in a line towards Korvian like a great serpent of flame....
[Korvian look up as the flame attack hurtles towards him. He had no way to avoid it thanks to Malice's lag spell, but perhaps he could block it. Sliding his katana back into his sheath he pulled the sheath down and forward so that it detached from his belt. Moving it in front of him and planting his left foot the blast hit the sheath pushing him backwards and sending the flame rolling around his body. The heat from the blast burned his face and hands but he knew he had to hold on or be toasted. In one last loud war cry he dug his feet in, closed his eyes as the skin on his hands turned black. As the fire blast finally subsided he opened his eyes and got a short glimpse at Malice. As his spirit shield made a small faint flicker for some random reason he dropped to his knees, his katana still in its sheath hitting the ground in front of him. As his upper body fell forward and hit the ground, smoke rolled off of his body and his breaths came quick and shallow. A faint orange glow flickered from his body as his spirit powers begin to slowly heal his wounds
