Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Alright, I'm getting back on the ball now. I got another post, this time it's a short story based on the RP between me, Veailo, and Lina314. It's told completely in third-person, and I'm trying not to depict any of them as the "main" character, instead have all three of us be the focus points... or whatever. Hopefully, you know what I mean, because my mind is pretty blank on how to explain it better. But yeah. I'm gonna post what I have of it so far.
Oh yeah, a piece of information you might need if you're not in the RP. Kago Okami is the spirit of a wolf that is inside Neo (me) that he's trying to lead to Paradise. That way you understand it when you get to the part that talks about him.

& Veailo... I made you cuss in the beginning... but to tell the truth, it didn't sound right if I put something like "Crap!" or "Dang it!" ... you know?

"Veailo. Don't move." Neo slowly pulled a kunai out of the pouch on the side of his leg. Taking aim, he thrust it past Veailo's head. A cry rang out as an invisible monster was struck in the shoulder. Veailo twisted around, kicked the monster in its chest, and pulled out a short sword and stabbed the beast through the stomach.
"Damn it! They're still after us, in this forest?!" Veailo cursed, pulling out his sword.
"No," Neo looked around. "This forest is... their home. I feel more of then... underground... and hidden in the darkness. Most of their presence is concealed in the dark, but I can still sense them faintly."
"Oh, great..." Veailo cautiously looked around, feeling for a presence.
"We've wandered into the wrong territory... you still know which way to go?"
Veailo closed his eyes and focused. "Yeah."
"Then, let's go!"
"Right. This way!" Veailo led Neo through a path in the trees. He sheathed his sword as they ran through the forest. It was night, but the moon was full and provided enough light for them to find their way.
"You seem different," Veailo noted. "You sensed them before I did."
Neo nodded. "It's a full moon tonight--wolves draw power from a full moon. With Kago Okami inside of me, I feel like I can do anything." He laughed, "Even though I'm human still, I just want to howl my head off."
Veailo stared back at Neo's eyes. They were full of power and divine energy. Neo himself seemed to be glowing.
Veailo could tell Neo was keeping up easily, so he picked up the pace. "At this rate, we should be there tonight."
"That is, if we aren't delayed by these guys." Neo took an explosive tag out of his kunai pouch and set it on the forest floor, still running. Several moments later, it was set off and blown up by the pursuing monsters. The explosion sent dirt and rocks flying.
"How'd it do?" Veailo questioned.
"No good. Killed about eight of 'em, but they're still on our tail."
"So, what now? There's no way we can take 'em all on." Veailo asked.
"Wait!"
"Huh?"
"I'm gonna try it again." Neo seemed confident this time.
"What?"
"Trust me, and do what I say."
Neo devised a plan and relayed it to Veailo. After tweaking it a little, it was decided. The two pushed themselves to the limit in order to get far enough ahead of the monsters to make the proper preparations.
Neo, strengthened by the moonlight, flew ahead of Veailo. He prepared two explosive tags on the ground a short way from the forest's edge and covered them with dirt. He had to suppress his power completely, so the monsters couldn't detect him. He set up traps in the treetops to be triggered once the tags went off.
Once Veailo caught up, they took shelter a short distance ahead. Neo was next to the string that was attached to the explosive tags, and he held a kunai up to it, ready to cut. They waited for the monsters to near the trap.
Wait for it... Now! Neo cut the string. A huge explosion rattled the air from behind. Following the explosion was the swooshing of twelve kunai and about twenty shuriken being thrust into the area around where the explosive tags had been set.
Without even checking to see if the plan worked, they took off out of the forest, still making sure to conceal their presence as best they could. They ran a few yards out of the forest, then stopped--they had reached the edge of a cliff. Below them was roughly a thousand-foot drop to a lush, green grassland that stretched a little further than a mile ahead, before running into a huge lake. Centered in the lake was a fortress, that, even though its base was a thousand feet below, towered over Veailo's and Neo's heads. The fortress itself was round, and about half a mile in diameter.
"That it?" Neo asked.
"Yeah."
"Then, let's go."
"How do we get down?"
Neo laughed, "I've already got that part figured out." He put two fingers up to his mouth and whistled.
A heavy flapping of wings approached from below. Soon, two enormous dragons hovered in the air in front of them. One was somewhat young, all black, with red eyes--he was called Bahamut. Though Bahamut was huge, the other dragon was noticeably larger, and older. The second dragon was Bahamut ZERO, and was a light silver color, with blue eyes. Bahamut's snout was rounded, whereas Bahamut ZERO's was pointed. The black dragon had a single pair of massive wings, while the silver one had three sets of much smaller wings. Overall, Bahamut ZERO was much stronger and faster than his younger brother Bahamut, but for some reason, Neo was more drawn to Bahamut than his older sibling.

Not much so far, but I think it's good.
