| Welcome to Imythess, the border between dreams and reality. We hope you enjoy your visit. Imythess is a creative writing board where you narrate the story of a character in the medieval land of Imythess, on the planet Chaon. Each topic is an opportunity for your character to interact with the world and its peoples by cooperatively writing pieces of a story with other members, one post at a time. We call this role-playing, because you assume the identity of your character as if it were your own. In order to play, you must register an account for each character you would like to write about, and begin their tale by filling out their basic profile information: Race (human, elf, demon, etc.), class (warrior, mage, etc.), physical appearance, and any other personal details you would like to describe. You are also encouraged to come up with some background history information for what your character's life has been like up to the point at which their story in Imythess begins. There is no approval process or application required to join, so long as you follow the rules then you are free to write whatever character details you choose. Registration is simple, fast, and completely free. Create a character now! If you're already a member, you can log into your account below: |

*The tunnel carried on forever, until it lead to a large hall, black, marble pillars holding up the domed, archaic ceiling. The floor tiles were littered with rubble and the symbols carved into the walls had nearly smoothed away, almost dissappeared. He stepped into the hall, his footsteps echoeing around him, the light casting eerie shadows between the pillars. At the end of the hall was a small arched doorway that was shrouded by darkness.* "Wow, this place must be ancient, I wonder who built it?" *He walked over to the wall and ran his hand over the rough stone, feeling the runes etched in.* |

Solaris walked along silently then glanced up in surprise when they entered the hall. She whistled in admiration, rather hard in this form but managable nonetheless. "Someone with a lot of time on their hands, I suppose." She replied after a moment though she was studying the runes all the wall closest to her. |

*Wondering what the runes meant, he walked over to one of the pillars, when he accidently stepped onto a secret button hidden underneath one of the black tiles. A loud rumbling emanated from the middle of the room, and the walls shaked. Suddenly, parts of the floor collapsed down, revealing a large opening, with stairs leading down into the darkness. He walked over to investigate, peering over the egde but even his vampiric sight could make out anything down below.* "Wow, freaky staircase. Should we go down it?" |

Adseor looked at the staircase. "yeah. Lets go down. But if these ruins collapes again, I am never comeing back." The firedog walked happily at her feet. Adsero continued to sing the song. "....We daren't go a-hunting for fear of little men..." |

Solaris walked over curiously, looking down the stairwell for a moment before she shrugged and started down slowly and carefully. As she did she began to sing an old song from when she had been in the cityguard. It came out with a strange accent, another attribute of being in her fox form, words came out differently. "You're the dirt of the ground Oi walk on, You're pond scum under my heel. Just try disobeyin' my orders, Oi'll feed ya three feet o' black steel. It's a crime to despise the Sergeant, No matter what 'e things o' you Be sure not to spread your opinion Or you'll wind up for sure in the stew..." Her singing followed her down through the stairwell, her voice cutting through the darkness when light could not. |

"Okay, you don't seem to particularly afraid of what might be down there..." *He followed her down the stairs anyway, sword in hand.* |

(ooc. Isn't that from your book boss?) Adsero walked down but stoped singing, mostly because those were the only words to the song she knew. "Well, this is fun.... What could be more entertaining then walking down into an unknown place where we could possible be killed and no one would ever know?" Adsero thought of some words to a different song that fit well. "They were not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp Or to have their eyes gouged out, and their elbows broken To have their kneecaps split and their bodies burned away..." |

(ooc- lol, yup ^ ~ ^ ) Solaris shrugged, her gaze fixed on the next step below her. "Even if I am, I have daggers, claws, fangs and a magical shield if necessary... Besides, I was trained by a gaint, crazy sergeant major who was convinced he could make us invincible if we tried hard enough." |

"Isn't that a bit harsh?" *He looked puzzled, and slightly amazed.* "I wouldn't be able to stand a person who told me what to do every day and night, I'd probably go nuts and kill them" |

Solaris snorted, "Try and kill a man well over seven feet tall that's as wide as a drayhorse and extremely strong? Not to mention he has a number of swords and a giant axe...." She shrugged, continuing down the steps. "It didn't always bother me, he was a good friend of mine. But if you'd like to find out how bad it was, you can go to the academy. Grunthor is in Imythess now and he's staying there." |

Adsero thought about this person Sol knew. "Did he teach you that song? From your description it sounds like it fits him pretty well." She walked on a little furhter waiting for an answer. |

Solaris snorted, a faint grin appearing on her face. A grin that revealed her fangs though they were not visible to Adsero and Tyrion, walking behind her. "Not so much as taught but, rather, heard and learned. I don't think he minds me singing them and I can probably sing better than he can... Not that Grunthor would ever admit it," She smiled. "But either way, yes he is the one who sings and says things like that." Solaris shrugged but fell silent and continued on down the steps. It seemed as though they continued on down forever and that they would be walking forever. Well, at least it felt like that for her. |

"I would like to meet this person. Perhaps if I make it out of this tunnel unscathed then I will go to the training grounds and say hello, though I'm not sure how kindly I'll be greeted." Adsero smiled and walked further down the tunnel. "Welcome to the tunnel tour guide services! On your left you will notice some damp rock and on your right you will notice some more damp rock. And if you look straight ahead you can see....a dark endless corridor of yet more damp rock!!! Yay!!!" |

"You know, you would probably be better being the tour guide for hell or someplace like that, I can imagine you in a job like that." "I guess you would be like: 'To your left, is the sofa of hell, and to your right, there are several people being branded with hot, sharp pokers', you see?" |
