Saber Knight Saga

[auragongal]

There's an area to change clothes next to the entrance. I'm not surprised you missed it.Marina said, she was then surprised to see Azriel's wings disappear.
Wow! I did not know you could do that.

[Saber Knight]

Eskay sat at the edge of the springs, smiling. Whether it had to do with her ice powers or it was just personal preference, she really didn't feel the need to go any further into the hot water. Serafina seemed to feel the same way, for she just sat at the edge of the spring in silence. What's up with her, anyways? Eskay thought to herself. She's so weird, trying to kill us first, and then she's all mopey and quiet, just hanging around here.

Just as she was dwelling on these thoughts, there was a sudden tremor. Instinctively, Eskay sprung to her feet, and she turned over to see that Serafina had done the same. There was another tremor, and a small purple speck appeared in the sky. Without warning, it suddenly grew immensely large, swallowing up everyone in the springs. Eskay yelped as the ground vanished under her, and she found herself floating.

Purple, blue, green, black, red... their surroundings were constantly changing hue. The Sacred Realm, the Netherworlds, or just simply the Place Between Dimensions. The place was confusing, to be certain.

"Ughh... hate this place," Eskay mumbled, holding her head in her hands. "Makes me feel sick."

I'm glad you here to think so nicely of my dwelling place, Kutolh said dryly, materializing out of nowhere. Here he didn't look transparent as he always looked in the mortal realms. Here, he was a solid being.

"Weell soooorry. Maybe I don't appriciate being rudely jerked out of a dimension."

Ugh... most Saber Knights would show some repect to their patron god.

"Well, I'm not most Saber Knights," retorted Eskay.

Bah. You're impossible.

"I try."

((Okay... I lied. I just got us out of the world. Next post, I'll drop us in Egypt. 'Til then, chill with your patron gods. Everyone can see them all here, unlike in the mortal realms.))

EPONA! IF THIS IS YOU IDEA OF A JOKE AT LEAST MAKE SURE I WASN'T IN THE HOT SPRING! Marina yelled, ticked off at being yanked right out of the hot spring and trying to cover up with a towel.
"Sorry,It wasn't my doing,this time it was one of the others,Most likely Zues, He is highly into women. Here, I'll get some new clothes for you."Epona said and waved her hand and Marina was now wearing a Blue halter top that was collared and open in the back, a pair of half gloves, a pair of sandals, and a pair of jeans.
Nice, but what did you mean by this time? Marina asked.
"Well, I helped get you into Fanterra and each god gets the group into their Knights home world."
Makes perfect sense to me.Shame I didn't get to talk to Steve though.
"Who is this Steve you keep referring to? Your boy freind?"
No, Steve is the Dragon in the Basement, I'm kinda with someone already.

[Saber Knight]

"So... anything else you've got to say to me?" Eskay questioned Kutolh. He sighed.

Bah. Just... be careful.

"You've told me that before."

Well, I can't stress it enough. This is an important time. The balance of power between good and chaos is wavering. I can't lose my Saber Knight at this time. You are powerful. All of you. You haven't even touched the extent of your power. So... good luck. With that, Kutolh vanished. Shortly thereafter, the entire world seemed to vanish and they were plunged into momentary blackness. Then, suddenly they were elsewhere, floating in midair. That didn't last all that long, though. Soon, gravity took effect and Eskay plummeted to the ground.

Coughing, she got back to her feet. "Ugh... what now?" she questioned no one in particular.

With another fizz, Azriel's wings popped back into existence in time for him to turn his drop into a hover. He landed carefully on both feet and glanced at Marina. "I guess you don't remember, then, that when we were in Marley's world, I didn't have my wings then either, until we reached the chamber where we fought that dragon creature. I have been a Saber Knight longer than any of you have, so I've already got the hang of changing my appearance at will." He shrugged. "Not that there was much point in doing so, now that we're nowhere near any hot springs." He inspected their surroundings. "Hm...Dry kind of place, isn't it."

[auragongal]

Yeah, it is. Wonder where we are? I've never seen a place like this before.Marina said.

[Siranae]

All at once, the scene before Sira vanished and was replaced with a new one. She fell to the ground as the water surrounding her was replaced with thin air. Ow... She said, rubbing her side to ease her discomfort. However, it didn't take long after for her to recognize the location. The dry, still air. The vast swath of palm trees and vegitation, the earthy smell of the soil. Everything was all so familiar to her. She turned to her addled friends. Guys, She said. We're on my homeworld.
When she had become apart of the Saber Knights, she had believed it would be a long time before she ever saw her home again, if ever. She was pleasantly surprised to arrive back so soon, even though she didn't know for how long. But this discovery troubled her as much as it pleased her. If the Saber Knights had been called here, then trouble was not far off.
While she was assessing the situation, her tail had dried enough to split once again into legs. However, her skin was still spotted with gray. This would go away soon, though. Standing up, she again addressed the group. Luckily, I recognize this area. We're not far off from where I live. When you all are ready, I'll take us there...is everyone alright?

[Saber Knight]

Eskay dusted off her clothes. "Yeah, I'm fine. Tad dirty, though, not that I really care," she said with a shrug. "Bit hot here though..." added Eskay with a wince. "I'd be glad to get moving."

[Blue Fire Cyndaquil]

"Now THIS is my kind of place."

[Siranae]

Yeah, the air is probably a lot warmer than a lot of you are used too. In fact, she herself had been at a slight discomfort on Hydras, where climate was colder. All the more reason she was happy to be home.
Of course, she didn't recognize the exact area they were in, and she needed some kind of idea as to their general direction. So she got an idea.
Um, Azriel? Would it be okay if you would use your wings to fly over the treetops? If you can find a river, I'll know which way to take us. Or, if you could see a clearing, that would work too. We'd probably be closer then.

[BionicleMandi121]

Azriel jerked a little when he heard his name, then blinked at Sira. "Alright," he agreed, spreading both wings. With a few great flaps, he took to the air. He noticed a cloud of dust billow up from where he had stood and called down, "Sorry about that!" He flew higher to avoid blowing up more dust into the eyes of the other Knights, then surveyed their surroundings.
It was mostly the same monotonous terrain for many miles around. Azriel shaded his eyes with one hand as he slowly rotated in the air, looking for a landmark. "I can see a river far to the left. That'd be east. It's about...my best guess is at least half a mile. Does that help at all?"

(I'll pretend that's the Nile he spotted.)

[Blue Fire Cyndaquil]

"I'll run there!" *5 minutes later* "There's a city near it," said Haddix.

[Giga-Gar]

((your godmodding. No where in your profile said that you could run that fast.))

Agnamatus wasn't doing anything at the springs when he was suddenly transported to the sacred realm. Well it's about time, he thought. As he watched the other saber knight's patron deities. talk to him, he waited for one of his the Greek gods to show up. Eventually, he saw a shining flash, and then Apollo appeared before him.

"Agnamatus, it is time for you and your friends to head to Egypt. I fear there is something dark going on that might threaten not only the entire dimention, but also the saftey of one of the original sacred sabers. I wish you luck."

The sun god disapeard, but Agnamatus could have sworn his head turned into that of a falcon's. Just as suddenly as he was transported to the sacred realm, he found himself sprawled out on a hot, grassy area.

"Uggh. It is of my honest opinion that I am slowly going insane," he muttered to himself. He sat up to get a better look at his surroundings, but with the sun in his eyes, he could only see pyramids, palm trees, and savanna. Well, at least I'll get a good tan... oh wait. I'm already tan. While Azriel was still in the air, Agnamatus asked him, "Hey, did you see any cities or towns? There might be a temple there and it's my best guess that that's where we're going to find out what we're supposed to do here." He then saw the raptor... thing run around a few palm tries for a few minutes before it shouted that there was a town nearby. Now that thing is insane.

*hope you don't mind me introducing Apollo/Ra, Saber.*

[BionicleMandi121]

(FYI, Gar, Azriel's still in the air. I didn't make him land. oo )

"Towns or temples, huh?" Azriel stared for a while. "Honestly, it's hard to say. Those could be buildings over there, or they're building-shaped sand dunes. Or my head is being affected by the heat and I'm seeing things." He landed and shrugged, tucking his wings behind him once more. "Since I've survived being attacked by fire dragons in my home world, whose mere proximity was much hotter than this desert, and since sand dunes typically don't have such sharp angles, I'd say that yes, there are buildings. Whether they're purely residential or if there's a temple, that I can't say. I don't know the architecture here."
