The Conjuror: Part One
Manama was talking with Raya about the Upcoming Elections. They were sitting
by a Tree, Discussing preparations and such for the Upcoming Corination when
he felt it. A Cold feeling running down his back.
Something was in his Grove.
He Smiled at everyone and took his leave not telling anyone about it and
went to investigate. He moved into the Valley where it is, the Forest seeming
VERY quiet. That is when he caught sight of it. A Man, Standing within a
Pentagram of Power, Lines of Blue, White, Red, and Brown running through
it. In his Hand were 3 Black Mystic Balls, and a Red Wand. He had his eyes
closed, his arms up to the Sky as he Hummed. His face was Fine and Delicate,
as if he was a Noble. His Dark green robes Billowing about his Form. And
he started his Incantation....
" In this place of Great Power, I call forth the Elements! Come forth and
Do my Bidding. Release your Hatred on this Shire and Claim it for Mine. Fire,
Rain down on the Land. Water, Billow forth and Drown. Air, fly through and
Cut. Earth, Come Forth and Crush."
After he had finished, the man opened his eyes, leaning over to put the Balls
and the Wand on the ground. It was then Manama was Noticed. He had been there
standing there, watching the Gathering of power. The Strangers Green Calm
eyes looked into his.
"By My strength, I posses your Body, Mind, and Soul, By my Strength, I
posses...."
As he said this, Manama Rushed Forth with his dagger, hoping to Stab him,
little did he know that the man was too Quick...
"...your Body, Mind, and SOUL!!"
Manama stopped dead in his tracks, lifted off the ground as Dark energies
swirled about his form, and the man floated up to him.
"You are Mine...."
The Man Shifted into his Body, pressing Manama to the back of his Mind, and
placing a Strong grip on his soul. Yet, Manama could see everything....
He saw his body Complete the Ritual...the 3 Balls Flaring into Fire, a Ball
of ice, and a ball of Stone. The Wand Crackled with Lightning. The elements
surged through Manama's Body.
"I am The Conjurer, and through you, I shall complete my conquest..."
He watched in horror as The man Summoned 4 Elementals, and sent them to Destroy
the Shire. The Man simply walk among the people of Crusaders Cove as Familiar
Faces Greeted him friendly, and then Protected him during the Battle.
But the battle was going bad for the Elementals, they were being killed.
Unnoticed, he slipped back to the grove, Re-summoning the Elementals power
each time...using the Balls to heal the Elementals as they got damaged. But
he kept his presence in the Grove.
Only Dusty, the Archmage, knew of a great Magical power Surging from the
Grove. First guessing, placing an Anti-Magic zone in the wrong place, but
he eventually made his way over to the Grove. Manama saw his Friend Fighting
the conjurer, wanting to Help him. And watched in relief as Dusty Cursed
him, killing him.
But he Returned, and this Time he Gathered his full Strength. He picked up
the 3 Balls and the wand from the ground in the pentagram.
" Power of the Elements, Defend me. Give me the strength to defeat my Foes
"
The Mystic balls flared with their Powers as their potential was made known.
He put the together, holding his wand in the other Hand. Manama felt the
Stone surround his Skin. And his mind started to grow Hazy.
The next part was unclear to him. He marched out into Battle, Launching Elemental
Spells of Great Power at the Inhabitants. Calling Lightning from the Sky
in a Storm. It Started to Rain (It was almost Like the Glavas thing), Calling
forth power that further pushed Manama deep within himself. But his greatest
Horror was soon realized...
When he watch himself Throw a Ball of Fire at his Best Friend Raya.
His Mind flooded with Rage and Anger, at the Conjurer, at him self. It clouded
his mental Vision and everything was lost from that point on....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Conjuror started getting despreat. The resistance was much greater than
he expected. He started Using the Mystic Balls more and More. His elementals
Retrieving them. But then, the Healer Kia pick the Fire one up, and the Fire
Elemental Turned on him. They Soon caught on, though the Conjuror didn't
realise it. He eventually lost all 3 Mystic Balls, only the Air elemental
staying with him because he couldn't loose the Wand.He ran to the grove,
hoping to gather his power again in time, but the Water Elemental followed
him, all the way.
As he nelt down in Prayer of some sort, the Dagger and the Wand in each hand,
the Water elemental came up Behind him, and Struck....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Is he Alright?"
"Don't know, it looks like Manama, but who can be sure?"
"Well, who would know?"
"Maybe a Spell Caster!"
"Nah, they know nothing...."
"What about a Healer?"
"What can they do?"
"Speak to dead"
"Oh yeah, get one over here"
(I'm sorry Pat, I forget your Character name grrr...) A Healer wearing Brown
Robes with his Red Belt. Designs on his chest nelt beside Manama. He said
the incantaion, bidding Manama to speak.
"Do you have any Elemental power in you anymore"
"No"
"Do you have any Ill intentions toward the peoples of Crusader Cove"
"No"
He looked up at the others as he ended his spell, placing his hand on Manama.
The powers of Healing surged through his body as he brought Manama back to
Life.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Where am I...?*
Manama's First Question that played through his Mind. His disorientation
made him get up slowly, hearing Voices all around him.
"Is he ok...?"
"Whats he doin'?"
"Watch him! He might attack"
He could remember very little, his entire mind clouded against the events
that happened. He slowly got up, looking around at everyone in disorientation.
"where am I.......Wait, what are you doing in my Grove?"
He spun around, seeing them surrounding him.
"Manama" Said the Healer "You were atacking the Shire with elementals, Almost
as if you were possessed.
Manama Blinked as memories flooded back of what happened, it tearing through
his mind. He doubled over with pain as the events played through his Mind.
And the image of him Killing Raya, her body going up in Fire, done by his
own Hand...
"Pass without Trace...."
*GODS! What have I done...?*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With that he dissapeared, and the Populous dispersed in confusion.
