| 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: |

Ornell’s attention was caught by the map that Ace was drawing and turned her full attention on that, not about to let her anger get the better of her. She was impressed by Ace’s attention to detail, though details like that were most likely the reason he was the Magister at the Academy of Magic. Having the figures of them wave was cute too and she felt her anger lessoning. Walking from Kellen would be the way she would go then. She had seen the city before, but had not stopped to visit the place. If that city was indeed the one he indicated on the map then perhaps she should take the time to visit it. Missing the fact that there was an Academy of Magic was something she should have never had done, but it would be an easy enough thing to rectify now that she was aware of it. Such a thing would no doubt be a useful tool. She nodded, commenting the directions to memory. Then another shadow passed over her and this time it wasn’t the cloud. Ornell looked up to see Lanik standing over her. She was more surprised by this then the next words out of his mouth. She stood so quickly that sand flew away from her. Her eyes seemed to burst into tiny fires. The air just around her flickered and danced as tiny flames sprang to life around her as she reacted. “Avatar of Your Goddess?! I AM the Goddess of Flames! She and I are One-And-The-Same! First you don’t even recognize me as such, even after an introduction, and then you have the gall to stand over me even as you attempt to apologize?! Who are you to stand above me like that?! Tell me why I should not…” The fire about her began to collect into a ball of fire above her.. Then, she paused… Valen speaking to Era… so far away but in the same place... She heard his voice. “I’m coming now Ornell. He simply doesn’t understand.” She saw him leaving the temple in a flash of light as the sunlight reflected off his steel body. She blinked and the flames were gone from both her eyes and the air about her. She leveled her blood red eyes on the Fire Genasi. She seemed... almost withdrawn. Anger would not rule her; she can master her own emotions. She pressed her lips togeather for the leanght of a breath before she spoke again. “I’ll forgive you your ignorance this once, as you did request it. I suggest you not let ignorance rule you.” She then let her gaze go to Ace, and nodded her thanks. “Thank you for the directions. My ride home is on his way. Is within the week too soon to pay a visit?” |

Lanik seemed more concerned with getting Ornell's attention than the grand ilusionary map, yet Ace had only begun his observation after finishing it as the illusion did take a fair amout of concentration. After noticing that Lanik was disinterested with the map and Ornell was through with it, Ace waved his hand dismissively through the air and the elaborate image quickly faded into the desert air. What happened next confused Ace and later would horrify him. Lanik obviously cared little for 'his' goddess as he knew nothing about her nor did he think to try and speak to her from the downward slope rather than the upward one. Ace knew the cocept of avatars failed to reach some, but true worshipers knew this by heart. Lanik likely only called her 'his' goddess for the simple fact that he was a fire gensai. Ornell's rage was not unprecedented, but quickly proved a danger to Ace as the heat of the goddess' flames quickly surmounted over that of the blazing sun. The worst part it was likely a worst threat to Ace than it was to Lanik. Ace backed away hoping to minimize the effect of Lanik's punishment on himself. His hair flushed to a full crimson, and the scales of his wings and tale shifted to a bright ruby. He could feel the horns slowly protruding out of his head. Ace was about to cast a spell to grant a greater distance from the two, but before he could act upon the thought, it was no longer needed and the Goddess' Firey rage was gone. Prehaps inviting a goddess to the academy was not the wisest act for one like himself. Ace patted his attempting to discern wether his horns were visible and it seem that they were not yet long enough to do so. The lack of shade went unnoticed to all but his eyes. His ability to maintain the cloud had quite been comrpimisde by the event, but the reults could have been much worse than simply being that. "Ah, Yes. Any time is good. Having few students at the academy allows me to be ready at near all times," Ace replied as he strode foward closing the gap he had made. He attempted to act as if nothing happen. He certainly didn't need to say anymore to Lanik than Ornell had, the fellow need to stop his foolishness and learn about a religion before joining it. |

Lanik was terrified. As much as he wanted to snap back at the elf that he had merely meant that The goddess of fire was the goddess he followed, and to point out that she was sitting down, But decided it was in his best interests to keep his mouth shut at this point. Thankfully, she had forgiven him, but then still seemed angry with him. he merely wanted to apologise! How much could a sixteen year old street rat know about any religion? On the verge of tears, Lanik kept his lips pursed and listened to Ornell speak to Ace. While they spoke, Lanik fumed and shook his head, ready to leave. He turned to Ace. "Goodbye, Magister Ace. i will tell my aqquaintance about your academy, and maybe visit myself." He felt somewhat bad, as he almost had harm done to ace for his own faults. Turning away, he began to track his own footsteps away from the two, heading back home. |

"I'll send a message ahead of me then. Thank you." Ornell said to Ace, then her gaze fell on Lanik as he said his farewell to Ace... and not to her. She almost yelled at him again, but caught herself. She paused a moment before moving to catch up with Laink. Being angry would solve nothing and she knew it. Valen was right, it was only ignorance... so she took on a different demeanor, one allowing for minor transgressions, one of a teacher or adviser. She matched her pace to his before she spoke. "I should not have snapped at you, there are few Gods who walk the lands and I often forget there are such differences on this plane..." That sounded like an excuse... or an apology... she didn't know which and didn't like the sound of it, but couldn't stop there. She kept speaking. "If you want though, you are welcome to visit the Temple of Fire with me. Valen can take you anywhere you want to go after that. Perhaps then we can part on better terms." She didn't like the fact that he hadn't said goodbye to her, it felt wrong and she knew she couldn't blame him, not again, so she took it upon herself. Realizing she had left Ace out of the invitation she stopped walking and turned back to him. "You are welcome to visit me as well of course, if you so wish." She wondered how much longer Valen would be. He was fast in the air, but how long would it take? Ornell didn't dare look for him though. She didn't want to seem nervous or uneasy. ((OOC: Grr... short post!)) |

Ace nodded as Ornell mentioned she send a message ahead of herself. It was a little unneeded unless she want to meet him specifically. But then again, the other magisters might not feel so comfortable teaching a goddess or even the avatar of a goddess. Ace had actually taught a deity before, ironically it was the former god of fire. Then there was the added fact that Ace was the most competent magister at the academy. Perhaps the message would be needed after all. When Ace looked to Lanik he could see tears hiding behind the young boy's eyes. He could not help but feel sympathy for him. Lanik was only a young teen and those tended to normally be as ignorant as ever. Still, the affairs of the gods were certainly not his own. "I'll be waiting I do hope I'll get the pleasure of seeing both of you there," Ace smiled before the fire gensai turned away. Ornell took a change of heart and quickly made her apology to Lanik. She even invited him to visit her in her temple for a more pleasant meeting. Ace was not entirely surprised when this invitation was swept to him as well. It was, however; an offer Ace had to refuse. It simply was a risk far too big for Ace to wish to take. Even visiting Meera in her temple of the mild element of water was too great a danger; otherwise he would have given her a visit or two by now as she had always been a good friend of his. “I fear I can not, Ornell. The elements have ill effects on me when they lean too much in one direction, as you nearly found the hard way before catching your temper. I can only imagine a divine aura of fire would do to me,” Ace frowned. |

Lanik stopped and closed his eyes, steeling himself. When he opened them, the tears were gone. He listened to ornell, feeling better somewhat. Forcing a smile, which quickly grew as he was invited to the temple, lanik nodded his head. "I would love to visit the Fire Temple. as much as i have ever wanted to, i never could visit. And maybe-" Lanik winked"-I could learn something about the gods." Lanik gave up a small chuckle. he no longer felt angry with Ornell. Lanik didn't even pause to think of how odd it was how fast his feelings had changed. |

((OOC: I hate writers block, this is the best I can manage.)) Ornell stopped when Lanik did and was glad to see his smile and have him agree to go with her. She also nodded to Ace’s response. “That’s fine. I wouldn’t want you to risk yourself for something as trivial s a visit. I will send a message ahead though as I’m not exactly sure of the timing.” She smiled at both Ace and Lank, feeling that this was a much better way to part company and she was too proud to let things pat badly. A dark shadow appeared in the sky from the same direction that she had come from. Knowing that it had to be Valen she smiled. “Here Valen comes now. He seems to be making good time.” She said. It was something interesting, how chaotic beings seemed to shift easily from one mood to another while she had to focus on her feeling and direct them as needed. She wondered if they even thought about it at all. |

Ace was pleased to see Lanik's recovery, though curious at how little time it indeed had required. Still, Ornell was a god as well as his god. Certainly it had to turn one's spirits around to know that your god favored you despite any of your failings. Ace was also glad that Ornell was rather understanding of his situation without needing any further details. "I appreciate your understanding," Ace replied to Ornell. With both of them ready to go, Ace had almost forgotten why he had come from all that happened from the strange chance encounter. The bag in his hands and the flowers on the scattered cacti did well to remind him, though he distracted himself from the task again as Ornell mentioned Valen, who seemed to be her afore mentioned 'ride'. He followed her gaze to the dark shadow that swiftly drew closer and closer. From the shadows movement he could tell it was obviously a dragon of some sort, a suiting ride for the goddess of fire. Extending his sight once more, he saw quite right. "He appears to be fairly well cared for dragon, Ornell. Though, I am not quite familiar with the type of dragon he is," Ace said as he observed the dragon. He probably wasn't a race of dragons common in Imythess and while he hadn't quite asked a question, he hoped she would enlighten him. |
