Saving Ageorynn - Role Play Thread

The world of Ageorynn was born in darkness, and the mortals born onto it only knew pain. In those days, there were only two sides to existence. There was the torturous existence of the darkness, and there was the love and peace of the light. Eventually the God of light, Vaklunor, decided that it was enough. He rallied his followers and the other gods on his side, and they went to war with the darkness. The leader of the darkness, Nilutoll, and the rest of his allies, were defeated and locked away. The goddess Projica was assigned in watching over them for the rest of their sentence. As for Ageorynn, well, it was engulfed in the light and the glory of civilization was born. Ageorynn grew and developed for centuries. It was blossoming into an amazing world. The different countries went through times of war and famine, but by the time our story begins, there was peace and prosperity all around the world. Of course, no good thing can last forever. The darkness had awoken, and Projica had let her guard down. Nilutoll escaped. Now Ageorynn is once again at risk of becoming a well of darkness. Vaklunor will not have this. It must be stopped. He has summoned four heroes from across Ageorynn to his chambers, four young people whom he has selected carefully from all those in the world, and tasked them with destroying the darkness once and for all. You are one of these heroes. Please, save the world.

Ageorynn had a continent, Eozespea, split into four kingdoms, none of which were a worry as of now. The only thing of importance was the grand Chapel of Light sitting in the center of Eozespea, where four young people from across the world had suddenly appeared in the center of the chancel.

The experience couldn’t exactly be pleasant for those suddenly standing there - not a single one was notified before the beam of light plucked them up from whatever they were doing and dropped them into the strange chapel. However, their reactions weren’t too important to the being who had brought them there. There were far more important matters at hand.

The pastor of the church was staring, dumbfounded and in awe, at the person sitting next to them - the god Vaklunor in his human form, a tall imposing force with a warm paternal smile tugging at his lips. The two sat in the pews across from the four young people who had suddenly appeared - the four heroes. Vaklunor’s chosen four.

Vaklunor grinned at the newcomers. “Welcome,” he said in a booming voice. “I am Vaklunor, the god of light. You four heroes have been selected very carefully for your strengths, and are being assigned to a special and nebulously important quest. Balance is being threatened. I am hoping that you all will be able to form the body that will save all of Ageorynn from another period of eternal darkness.” He stuffed as much information into as few words as he could. There really wasn’t enough time to linger on needless filler words. Not now.

✧Kassidee Mae Wellington✧

Kassidee was frozen in place. She had been in her room at an inn, somewhere in the cold of the south - she had lost track of her movements at this point. And, looking around, it was very clear that this wasn't her little run-down room in the inn. No, this was a large stone chapel with a man pretending to be god sitting all smug across from her.

Her first question was what, but what was happening became very clear very quickly - some sicko with a god complex had kidnapped a bunch of kids with a charm of some sort, some extremely powerful magic.

The question that quickly took over her whirring brain was why, and try as she might, she couldn't quite figure out the answer. Why would anybody do this? Why her? Why these people? Why pretend to be a god who she had accepted as myth for a very long time?

Kass had a million questions on her tongue starting with that three letter word, but her mouth was wrenched shut. It occurred to her that she should run now, but her arms were glued to her sides and her feet were rooted in place on the ground. Fear had paralyzed her, that was clear.

She listened intently to the words of the delusional man standing in front of her. It was interesting, but of course, the story he built was completely unrealistic. Four random kids, heroes? Yeah, right.

She waited for herself to thaw in silence, letting the million thoughts and plans buzz through her head, but being unable to go through with any of them.

Vaklunor narrowed his eyes as the heroes spoke. So they were doubtful, hmm? He would show them, then. "Fools," he yelled out, "you dare to question me?" He rose to his feet. The pastor next to him stared at the display with fear in his eyes.

A gust of wind began to swirl around Vaklunor, before shooting itself towards the heroes. The torches lighting the church all blew out simultaneously, leaving a shadowy cavern with only the dim light of the setting sun illuminating it. The pastor stared in horror as the stained glass windows began to vibrate and shatter. Vaklunor cleared his throat. "I will say it again," the god said in a steady, booming voice, "I am Vaklunor, the god of light. And gods like I do not make mistakes." He glared at them all. "I have scoured through all of humanity. I have looked over every single mortal creature on Ageorynn, and I have carefully selected you four. There is no chance that I am mistaken."

Well, truthfully, he hoped he wasn't mistaken.

The room calmed. The wind died away, the torches flickered back to life, and with a little wave Vaklunor reassembled all of the glass. "Now. I suppose whether or not you believe me, well, that is a choice. But rejecting this is the wrong choice, I assure you. We don't have time to argue over whether or not you should be doubtful." He held out his right hand, and with a snap from his left, a rolled up piece of parchment appeared in it. "I have a task for you first. Whether or not you complete the task, that's for you to decide.

"We are in the center of Eozepea. There are four countries here, each of which has a patron god. Each god has a treasure that is necessary for destroying the darkness. I have not been able to collect them on my own. I have marked where all four reside on this map. Collecting them, that is your first task, heroes."

✧Kassidee Mae Wellington✧

Kass let herself calm down as the others started to speak out. Surely, they would get her out of this. This psychopath with a god complex wasn't a match for all of them. Ari wrapped around her shoulders, hugging her, and in that moment Kass was sure that this would end up okay.

That okayness suddenly disappeared. She tensed back up as the man began to speak again. The wind blew back her braids. Ari dug his claws into her skin and she clung to the animal, hoping he wouldn't fly off of her. The sound of the glass shattering made her flinch and cover her head.. Tears made their way to her eyes. Deep breaths, she thought, this is nothing.

But there were other thoughts floating in her head, the kind that she wasn't in control of, that knew there was something more to this magic, this voice, this story. There was an air to it that spoke of reality, and suddenly, she was believing the man. What a mistake, She thought, unable to actually say anything. What a mistake you have you make to call a bunch of teenagers heroes.
The wind and the noise and the anger stopped. She looked back up, wiping the waterworks from her eyes. Ari leapt from her shoulders and ran to the god, snatching the paper from his hands, and running back to Kassidee. She stared at her shoes as the paper made its way into her hands. What the hell Ari, why did you do that Ari, he thinks I agreed to this now Ari. What did you do.

This was terrible, this was everything, this was not okay.

✧Kassidee Mae Wellington✧

Kass' spiral of what do I do faded away from her mind as a kind voice reached her ears. She looked up from her boots and gave a shaky smile to the kind looking boy, apparently named Jaehyun, as she held the piece of paper up to eye level and unrolled it, leaning its contents towards him. It looked like a a simple map of Eozepea, something she might find in an atlas, with four red dots sitting in the names of towns. She quickly located the chapel, smack dab in the middle of the kingdom.
It dawned at Kass that she was in on an entirely different continent. Information like that sparked anxiety in the pit of her stomach, but it faded away quickly. She was far away from her father and the lab. The endless fear of him catching up with her disappeared from her mind; He would never find her here.

She raised her hand to her chin and looked over the map, letting the gears in her mind whir. Ryozpa, that was the city nearest to the temple they were in. The three others formed a circle around the chapel, spreading to the ends of the kingdom. Crossing the entire map on foot would take a month, at least. Some other form of travel would be needed if this was as dire as "God" said. Carriages? Horses? Perhaps some form of air travel. She had been tinkering with a flying machine in her brain for a long time, and this would be a good time to pull it into reality...

Her mind went deeper as another boy walked over, and his cold tone pulled her away from her fantasies. As he introduced himself as Caireac, she realized this would probably be a good time to introduce herself too. It dawned on her that she would be traveling with these people now. "Oh, uh, I'm Kassidee."
It was at that moment that Ari decided to introduce himself, climbing onto her head and knocking Kass' glasses off of her face. They reached out and sniffed at Zaira, although her intimidating presence quickly drove the mammal over to inspect Minhyun instead. "Oh, and this is Ari," Kass quickly added as she scrambled to grab her glasses from off the floor.
