| 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 mysterious boy led them past the entrance to the area that was called "Pirate's Cove". He led them along a path that led to a dead end. He turned around as he came up to the wall. He scanned the five people that were following with his eyes and looked towards Oric. "Word of this place is not to be given to ANYONE," the boy said coldly. The boy then turned around and walked on. He went straigt through the wall. Master Ace followed wordlessly. When he passed through the wall he was surprised to see Skeleton and Zombies wandering about on either side of the path. There were no undead on the path. The boy leading them seemed to pay them no mind. "A precautionary measure?" Master Ace thought to himself. He hoped the others wouldn't freak out. |

As Verling followed behind he stopped for a few seconds at the wall and placed his hand on it. When he was sattisfied that the wall was somehow not even there he walked thruogh a little startled to see the zombies. Hidden under his cape Verling placed his hand on the hilt of his sword and continued walking behind the others. As he walked along he thought to himself "These are pretty extreme precoutions. Even for a pirate. I wonder what is going on here?" |

Kli's eyes followed to the zombies and skeletons. Her eyes widened, her hand on her hilt under her cloak. She bit her lip and didn't make a sound other than her soft breathing. 'Why in earth would they be here? And why do they dare not touch the path? Oh well, I guess we will see, no?' She thought. |

It had been wuite some time before Oric had said anything. He had been soeechless ever since the boy had spoken to him. Oric did nopt know where the boy was taking them, but was ieger to find. Once they walked through the seemingly dead end things seemed to be making a bit more since about storys of things he had heard in the past. He thought to himself. " Is this the actualy pirates cove? The one that is said to be gaurded by fierce waters nd blistering winds? After all we did go through hell to get here, it would make sence." Oric then laughed silently to himself. He continued thinking. " well i just always assumed the Pirates Cove was somewhere else." Finaly Oric spoke up. " Boy, how do you know who i am, and just what the hell is this place?" |

Lilith stared blankly at the wall. She had seen the others walk easily through it, but Lilith still wasn't sure. Finally, she closed her eyes and rushed through. She bumped into something on the other side and landed sprawled out on the floor. She snapped open her eyes and stared up into the hollow eye socket of a skeleton.She screamed soundlessly, her mouth open in a silent O. She just laid there completely stunned. |

The boy turned his head slightly and replied, "All of your questions will be answered in due time, Oric. " He seemed to chuckle as he made his reply. Master Ace turned around and saw Lilith. She seemed paralyzed in fear as she stared at the skull of a skeleton. He quickly jogged to her and helped her up. They continued on along the path for several minutes, but with the consant stares from the undead creatures roaming about it seemed as though they had been walking for hours. finally they exited the long hallway and came to an area with a large dock. There was one gigantic Sailboat in the dock. They were still in the cove. The only exit from the dock was down a long tunnel which seemed to split off in the distance. It was too dark to see most of the ship. Lanterns lit the path to the ship. The boy led the up a wooden ramp and opened a door on the ship. "The Captain is waiting for you," The boy said as he watched them all go inside. The room was grand. There were many golden objects decorating the walls. There was a large wooden desk with a golden glow. Behind the Desk sat a female elf with regal clothes and a featered hat. Her chair seemed as more like a throne. Behind her was a large mirror with occupied almost all of the space on that wall. "I've been waiting for you. Please sit down. Lilith why don't you tell me about yourself first. I know you are here to help your friends but is there anything special I can do for you personaly," She said with a smile as the pointed at the five splendid handcrafted chairs before her. Master Ace sat down as he was told and waited to see what would happen next. "How does she know our names?" Master Ace thought as he waited for Lilith to reply. |

Oric decided it might be best to just go along with everything. He didn't want to accidently say or do something he wasn't supposed to, and then end up dead. He shrugged his shouldars and followed. For some reason though, he wasn't very surprised when they had reached the captain. In fact he was a bit releaved it wasn't some evil skeleton king. Oric decided to just stand and waite till he was spoken to. |

Lilith stared at the odd woman and looked to the others for help. Sensing she was on her own, she began to talk. "I'm not sure how you know of my name, Captain, or what we all are doing here.How did you come to hear of us and what is it excatly that you want from us? If you want me to tell you of myself then I insist that you answer my questions first." Lilith wasn't used to talking so sharply, but something about the woman was just..odd. Lilith had a sense of recognition, but quickly shook that from her mind. After all she couldn't possibly know this stranger right? Lilith looked about and sat in one of the beautiful chairs. |

"Dear me! Where are my manners? My name is Sybil. You may call me by that instead of Captain. I know none of you personally, but all of that will be explained after I learn a little more about you. All of you are with Ace who has been told by some one close to him to come here and meet me, although Alorous wasn't too blunt intelling him the details," She smiled as she fingered the rings on her own fingers. "Is this why Alorous told me to come here? How does she know Alorous as well?" questions swamped Master Ace's mind. |

Lilith allowed her muscles to relax as she looked at the woman. "It's okay we're just a wee bit jumpy considering your...company outside." She looked uneasily at the door that contained non living things just on the other side. "Anyways it is a pleasure to meet you Sybil. There isn't much to tell about me, I'm just your average faerie who's an earth mage. But I don't want to take up your time rambling about myself." She turned and glared at the others waiting for them to take over. She wasn't too happy about being put on the spot first. |

"Well I suppose that will do. I'm sorry about the undead and of course the Ghost ship you met earlier. If you can think of anything I can do for you, Lilith, let me know," she replied to Lilith. She turned her attention to oric and said with a smile, "Now we move to Oric. Tell me about yourself. I'm sure you have plenty of questions for me." She took off her hat and revealed her short brown hair. |

As the woman moved on to Oric, he became very nervous. Trying not to studder, but not doing a very good job he said. " Uh, well, what do you want to, uh, know about me?"A short pause went by before he quickly intereupted with. " UH, Ms. Sybil."Oric didn't think this was the best way to start things off and so became even more nervous. A few beads od swet made there way down his face. Quickly he wiped them away. |

She smiled, but seemed slightly annoyed his response. "Come now. Is the brave and resourceful pirate of talking with a lady? I know your mind is pouring with questions, but it that's the best I can get out of you I suppose we can move on. Give it another try, please. Without the Uhs this time," She smiled. Ace was surprised to see Oric get so nervous. He wondered who would be next after Oric. |

Oric didn't know what had come over him, normally he would have answered with a confident voice. He had no more time for this odd way of which he was acting. Oric cleared his throat and began again. This time in a calm and forcfull voice he said. " As you know i am a pirate, however, i am tired of having to put up with a crew ands split the treasure. Don't consider me your average pirate. Not onley do i use a sword, but magic as well. I have come to learn the significance of magic and the advantage it gives me over other pirates. Soon enough i shall have my own ship. One that can handle it self. I shall Pirate the seas with a dragon and together we shall live rich." Orics tone began grow with exitment as he spoke of his plans for the future.fortunetly he was able to catch himself before he got to carried away. He calmed down before continueing. " Although i am a pirate i am also a good man, well as good as a pirate can be anyways." He smiled as he relised this last remark must have sounded a bit hipicritical as he does go around stealing from other ships. " Basicly i just steal from the rich and give to myself." |
