Leylae / Leondas

Pins a small piece of paper next to the infomation I am interested in buying 6 iron!

Leondas approaches the White Tree of the druidic grove, and peers around slowly. content with his feeling of his surroundings, he sits himself down at his usual spot. he looks into the water at his reflection, and touches his face, and sees his amulet dangling from his neck. he feels his arms raising to the back of his neck, suddenly beginning to untie his amulet for the first time in his long 386 year life. he holds it in his palm, gazing at the jewel that has journeyed with him for so many years. taking the amulet by the string, he dips it into the water, letting it soak for a while. pulling it from the waters slowly, he sees a reflection of a face, but not of his own. he then begins to see some sort of image in the amulet, it comes to life before him, a reflection of his past shines within the amulet. The Amulet reflects back to the last he saw of his father Lerithian: My son... you rest for today. you have worked hard this week. I don't want you getting to tired before the big hunt. Leondas: But father, I must perfect my shot! I missed the last pig! Lerithian: Yes, Leondas. In time, you will. I want you to stay here while I hunt today. I will be back very soon for you. *Lerithian goes to walk out the door, swallowing air heavily, he turns back to Leondas, and unties his amulet.* Son.. I want you to have this. It has been passed down through my generations, you deserve to be the wearer now. Leondas: What? Why now father? Lerithian: It feels right, son. Take it... *Lerithian forces the amulet into Leondas's hand, closing his grip as he does.* Always wear it... where ever you go. I will be back soon, Leondas. With a great feast. for now you must sleep, regain your strength. I will be back soon. I promise Leondas: O.. Ok Father... Be careful, Please. I always worry about you! Lerithian: Yes son... I will be careful. I love you. Leondas: I love you too. The image in the amulet turns back to the face of his father, it begins to reflect, as if he was speaking to Leondas Lerithian: I broke my promise to you, my son... that was 370 years ago, and I still ache within this amulet because of this. I felt something on that day which forced me to hand you the amulet. What happened next? Do you remember, my son? Leondas feels no draw of emotion towards his father, his soul at complete peace with the presence around him. he thinks for a moment, and begins to tell his father of what happened, 2 weeks after the departure of his father Leondas: ...Where in the world am I... *Leondas spots a dark elf in a cave full of water, he approaches slowly, ducking his head underneath the entrance.* Leondas: Hello? Are you alright down here? "Sting": Ohh. Hello. I'm fine. I'm just trying to get somewhere, that's all Leondas: I see... Where are we? "Sting": That's a sign that you're new. as an elf, you should know where we are. *Sting looks strangely at Leondas* Why.. this is the glorious land of Aegis. home of many grand cities and communities of people. alot happens here... Leondas: Aegis... I haven't heard of "Aegis" Before. I'm Leondas By the way. "Sting": Names Sting. How about you help me out? I'm trying to find somewhere to start a town up, but I'm not sure where. Leondas: Alright, that sounds like a good start for me! The image of the amulet suddenly shifts, showing what it was like when Leondas walked that day. an exact reflection of the journey is shown to Leondas through the amulet. Leondas smiles, embracing the amulet, remembering the moment when he walked past the large bridge which led to New Haven, the town of the Ascended. Leondas continues to speak with the amulet when the face of his father returns. Decora: Hello?! is anyone up there?! Leondas: H... Hello?! Where are you?! "Sting": I think they're down in that mine... *Sting quickly points down below from the mountain, to a small mine entrance. They both begin to trek down the mountain towards the entrance, reading the sign "Oren Mine" Friend of Decora (Male): Hello, Strangers! Where are you? We're stuck in this mine! "Sting": We're just at the entrance of the mine, we're coming down! *They both begin to walk down to the bottom of the mine, they bump right into Decora and her friend at the bottom.* Leondas looks away from the amulet briefly, remembering his past like it had only just happened. the vision of his father smiles slightly, and nods his head at Leondas. Leondas breathes in deeply, trying to control his emotions. he looks down into the water, still holding the amulet up by the string. Leondas: I remember looking into her eyes... I had never seen a woman. it was like I had just seen some sort of.. mythical goddess before me, like I had to bow before her. The feeling in my stomach changed, it was... fast. and heavy. I remember it all. every second of the moment. Leondas looks back towards the amulet, focusing once more, and continues to tell of his past Decora: Ohh, there you are! you found us! "Sting": No, you found us, I think. the exit is right here. Friend of Decora: Ahhaha... So we are! Who might you two be? The amulet shifts suddenly, it skips to an abandoned fort on an island, close to where the Oren mine entrance is located. Leondas closes his eyes tightly, remembering the image he sees before him Leondas: That Fort... That was my first home in Aegis. I remember telling the girl that I had no home. she took me to this fort. It was, abandoned. old looking. Badly structured. it was right next to another little island near by, and another large town. it was better than living out in the cold though. the months we spent there, living, making it look all that bit nicer. I remember creating her the most comfortable looking bed. it took me so long, too. The amulet suddenly begins to turn to a darker shade of amber, the image in the amulet shows a small island near by, with a fancy looking house upon it. Leondas lowers the amulet slightly, forcing his gaze away, he begins to remember the darkness of his life. Leondas: That house. that. HOUSE. *Leondas digs his fingers into the dirt, tensing his grip as he begins to shovel the dirt out of the ground next to him with his bare hands. he gets to a large lump of rock, scraping his fingers so hard against it, that one of his fingers click backwards.* That house, was the darkest moment of my life, Father. I cannot see it again. It drew me back to it. Possessed me. Controlled my mind! The amulets vision continues to focus on the house, the clouds begin to turn dark, rain begins to fall, and bolts of lightning begin to strike the ground. Leondas feels strange in side, like he is now being forced again to look at the house in the amulet Lerithian: What is it about this home, My son. what happened here. you must tell me of these troubles. Leondas: they bought the house off of Decoras new "Lover". She had never told me about him. my heart was crushed when she mentioned the man. and when I saw him, I wanted to rip his throat out and feed it to the fish. I.. I was different back then. Lerithian: Who bought the house, Leondas? Leondas:*Leondas swallows air, struggling to say what he is trying to say* - The Black Hand, Father. They bought this house. I don't know why they did it, but they did. They took the house from the boy who constructed it. And then they took Decora away. From Me. The Visions then grow even darker, it flashes before images of a screaming woman and man, blood stained walls. familiar figures flash by through the vision, and then Leondas begins to grow with rage as he sees one of the men. Leondas: Guraim... GURAIM! He was a MURDERER! Dark... Evil... CRUEL. He would TORTURE The innocent women in the depths below the house. The SCREAMS! I remember... I remember it all, Father. He would rape them... and then burn them alive in his "Contraptions"! He... He created torture chambers that normal men could not picture... I remember the images of them all. I cannot do this. It is burning my mind, Father. I am beginning to feel like I did them very years ago! Lerithian: Control yourself, Leondas! You are a VERY Powerful man now... I have seen what you have become. something that NONE of the Lehywin's and Seiylen's will ever become, not even Leylae. She is in Asulon now, but she shall never be like you. do not fall in to yourself, you have done me proud this far. do NOT Let me down! *Leondas begins to control his emotions, attempting to connect with the tree and waters infront of him, he loosens his body, attempting release all bad thoughts* Leondas: I still feel them in my head, father. the same burn I would feel when they got into my mind. It was a pain any normal man would scar from.*pauses for a brief second, remembering yet another image in his head.* The amulet begins to shift as Leondas thinks, a shrine of Iblees reflects from in the amulet, a great evil stands above the shrine. As Leondas looks deeper, he sees a spirit of himself within the reflection, on his knees to the follower of Iblees, begging for his life back. Leondas: I... I am a disciple, father. a disciple of Iblees himself. I know he is locked away now. but the presence still lurks around in my veins. I, I have no choice but to control my emotions, otherwise bad things may begin to happen. the horror I remember was named... Nightmare, I believe. he resurrected me through the power of the shrine of Iblees. *Leondas looks down to his hand, sighing slightly with a slight fear* If I die, father, I fear that the power inside may erupt... I am one of the very few carriers of the spirit now. I... I must stay alive for as long as possible. and when my time does come. I shall travel back to Aegis, to leave Asulon in safety. The amulet begins to turn back to it's normal colour, the darkness fading. Leondas closes his hands around the amulet, looking towards the white tree. he breathes in deeply, and begins to release his memories into the presence of the tree. Leondas: Presence... Control my thoughts... Release my burdens once more... they are strengthening once more. Leondas looks into the amulet, beginning to feel that he must abandon the necklace to rid of the feelings of his past. but something inside him prevents him from leaving his amulet behind, so he begins to tie it back up, leaving the dark burden around his neck for the rest of his days. Leondas: This amulet... is everything. my whole life is locked away within. I... I must find the secret to unlocking this energy. there is much trapped inside, which I must set free before I depart from this world. Leondas looks around at his surroundings as his face suddenly calms. he looks to the ground, as sees a small daisy poking from the ground. he smiles, and begins to walk off into the unknown of the forest.

As Leondas walks peacefully through the forests, north of Normandor, He begins to feel the great energies of his surroundings. He closes his eyes, placing his hands together in front of him, and bows slowly to the ancient woods. He begins to feel himself open up to the heart of Asulon, releasing all burdens he has gathered on his journeys, casting them into the wind. Leondas begins to write on a large piece of paper, spreading it across a large table. The Way of the Winds To walk with the Winds, you must first walk with clean air. The fires that may burn must be put out. you must free your inner self, and become at peace with your own soul. The wind guides us, and allows us to move swift and well. It teaches us balance, and guidance. We walk with the wind, because if there was no wind, there would be no movement of the leaves, or the clouds we see in our skies. everything would be still, and would have no purpose. that is why we walk. Si Air Walker - You are the start of the wind. you are the start of the movement. This is where your journey begins in the Silen Do. You will be taught much in the time you are an Air Walker. How to be at peace with yourself, and the others around you. Si Wind Walker - You now begin to move, you have put out any flames within your heart, and are now able to learn how to use the Wind to move yourself, your mind, and your heart. Si Wind Runner - You are now at the stage to move onto the next tier of Silen Ki Do. Your ability to harness the energies of the winds is at a great level. Flowing, Like the Ocean When we fight, we motion like liquid. We flow like the waters of the ocean. no faults. no cracks or holes. Every movement is at its perfection. The wind is what moves the water, allowing us to flow. our balance between the wind and water is what allows us to fight in the style of Silen Ki Do. without the wind, and the water, we would not be able to fight. without. we are still. no purpose. Leondas looks through what he has already written, nodding his head, smiling slightly. He looks at his surroundings, breathes in deeply, and continues to write. Ki Rainfaller - You are beginning to use the winds to guide the water. But you must first fall, as every great warrior experiences challenges before them. You must first land, before you can move with the ocean. Ki Waterwalker - You have finally become part of the ocean, and are now able to move with the waters you have become part of. Ki Waterflowing - You can now flow like liquid, and must now learn how to increase the speed at which you flow. at this stage, you are ready to move onto the third tier Strike, Like Lightning Leondas begins to draw a picture, larger than the previous two. When we are able to strike like lightning, we are a deadly warrior, ready to protect our family, our friends, and our people. This is where the fighters may truly show that they can become masters of Silen Ki Do. The speeds of the strike are great, fast enough that we cannot see the strike with out own eyes. The wind carries our strike, and the water allows us to strike hard. the energies within us allow us to create the great energy of the skies, and force our bodies to move at speeds that many others may not be able to. Do Striker - The striker has not yet built the energies to harness the powers of the great speeds of Silen Ki Do. The Striker attacks at average speeds, and is slowly taught how to gather the energies around them. Do Seeker - The Seeker has found energies, just enough to strike quick, but still not quick enough to strike at lightning speeds. It is the last part of the trainee's learning before he masters the way of Silen Ki Do. Do Sai Kaiel - This means "To strike unseen". You have now nearly mastered the movement of Silen Ki Do. But you may not have yet mastered the ability to use a blade, bow and fists. Kiren Do - Master of The Three arts of Fight A Kiren Do is a Master fighter, who shows extreme skill in the art of fighting, with both blade, bow and fist. Not many are able to reach the skill of the Kiren Do. Years and years of training have been focused on, in order to reach the standing of Kiren Do, Master of Silen Ki Do. I call to all who are willing to learn. To learn the ways of Silen Ki Do. Join me, come and learn with me. and you shall learn to fight like the elements of the wind, water and sky. My Name, Is Leondas Lehywin. Master and Founder of the Silen Do. Peace be with you, always. Begins to copy the writing onto more pieces of paper, and begins placing them around the lands of Asulon. waiting. and watching. ((If you are interested in joining The Silen Do, Send me a bird in game, or message me on the forums if I am not online))

(( Or that. xD ))

((When we can get back onto the server, il'l be giving the message to someone at random in a book. they can decide what to do from there :) ))

((Meaning posted in the game world? Or on what forum section? :3 ))

"I did not believe. I thought we was safe here?! Are we not...? Are we not safe in Asulon?!" This is what I said years ago. What I had told them. and they did not listen. I remember what I saw. The old, corrupted island. they were not just ruins. they were plagued. by an old familiar enemy. The death that shadowed that island. the smell of it, burns my mind. I remember everything. And now, I... we. Have seen something else. something alot of us remember. the demon that blocks out the sun. the destructive being that we remember from Aegis that had sieged the temple all of them years ago. And people are calling them puppets? Are they blind from the truth? afraid of what they truly are, but do not want to admit this? there is no hiding now. there is no running away again. we CANNOT Make the same mistakes we did back in aegis. ignore. that is why we are in Asulon. because we ignored the truth. the power of what they are. their very name. The Undead. have returned. I never wanted to believe. and neither did anyone else. What I saw, them years ago on that island was not my imagination. and now you can see. So now. I come again. with a warning. the warning I did them years ago. prepare yourselves. prepare your nations and your armies. your family and friends. the people you love. and prepare, For War. *Leondas throws the message to the skies, for whoever may find it.

My life, it has not been light at all. From the meeting of a young, Human girl, to finding myself enslaved by the cultic Black Hand. I never thought my life could be a mystery, Even to myself. The years spent under in them dark prison cells, doing the dirty work of the worshipers of a dark god. It seemed to grow on me, turned me into a mad man. It was only a matter of time untill I could become free of that curse, and wander the lands again. And so I did. A new group had started, but small in size. The goddess named Scathatch had spoken to us, had told us to go to the city of the Ascended. She met us there, And granted us our power. Lynx, Had been given the gift of life, allowing him to call towards the earths natural resources, and aid him in the growth of our world. Decora, had been given the burden of Scathatch, leadership of all who had joined the Silver Hand. And me, I had been given the gift, of light. The burden was heavy, As I could feel it's power surging through me at every step I took. There was another man, but my memory feels, that it would rather forget about him. The twisted orc. The Silver hand had not lasted long, I had fallen into a sleep of many years, I am unsure of the exact number of years however. But when I had awakened, I had found that Decora no longer exsisted in this world of Aegis. Her spirit seemed to still follow me though, as I still felt the powers of the light guideing behind me. As did I feel the presence of the Black Hands taint. My awakening was a mystery to me, I could have been gone forever. But something had told me that if I did not awaken, I would not be able to continue to tell me tale to anyone who wishes to know. And I would not be able to finally one day, see what it means to live a normal life, away from all of the slavery and torture I had gone through. But now, this day. I still feel the power of Scathatch, guiding my path of the light. I never understood what this gift could hold. but now, it is all clear. Something will come of this, one day. So for now I shall know myself, as Leondas the Lightbearer.

It is unclear! But you see this vision i bestow to you with your own eyes. You be the judge of what you see now.

Leondas calls a message across the kingdom, For whoever may hear it. I did not believe. I thought we was safe here?! Are we not...? Are we not safe in Asulon?! This corrupted land. The same corrupted land that appeared in Al'Khazar. The same corrupted land that appeared in Alras! The same land that appeared when the temple was undead siege! This land... It is the cause of only the undead. This island was once a town. A community. only to see the wrath of the undead. They have been here. And when they find us here. We will not be prepared. I call this message now, The undead will return to us, And we must be ready to face them once more!
