Running. Running. Movement on the right. A quick swerve. A pounce. An inhuman shriek. It was a squirrel. Gripping it in claws, a phantom, eldritch mouth full of teeth forming from her mask. Ripping, tearing, the last sounds of pained life from the small animal. Her sharp-nailed hands left stained in the blood from her sustenance.
A vision. She shrieked again. Pain. A vision. Shining keys. Whatever her heart desired...
"Mmmmusssst.." She hissed.
A sound from not too far away, in front of her. A man. She stands slowly, watching as he trips, tumbling to land before her.
Breathing slowly, she stared a moment before speaking, phantom mouth having vanished from sight on her cracked mask.
"Who are you." It was less a question than a demand. The single, unhidden eye glared piercingly at the balding man, an acid green iris among blood red.
The Seven Keys to Your Heart's Desire.(RP thread)
Ralkar stumbled his way up to his feet nervously. An incredibly eerie feeling overcame him, something dark was lurking near here, and was probably responsible for the state the poor girl before him was in. The girl wore a ruined mask and a torn dress. Ralkar reasoned that she had been at a ball of some kind when she was attacked.
The girl stared at him for a moment. At least it seemed she was, it was hard to tell as her eyes were covered by the cracked mask.
She eventually spoke; "Who are you?" She asked.
"I am Ralkar, a hero on a mighty quest to find the seven keys of "Your Heart's Desire," and you, are in danger. I passed a magical boundary a while back, it looks now like it is there to contain a great evil."
The girl flinched slightly at the mention of the evil.
"Ha ha, don't be afraid, Ralkar shall lead you out of this damned place and to saftey."
He motioned for her to follow him and began to walk back the way he came.

'Contain a great evil...' The thought went through her mind. 'Contain... ME?!' The cracked, almost shattered red jewel in the small of her back glowed briefly, reflecting her fury at such an insistance.
There was a pang in her head when Ralkar spoke of the Seven Keys.
"Of my heart's... desire..?" She repeated, her voice in a whisper, less harsh. "I have... a desire."
If she'd had a mouth still, she'd have made a small, not very sincere smile as she followed the strange, balding man. "To 'safety' then.."

Ralkar walked briskly, he was in a good mood. Today he burned many evil Ents and now he was in the process of rescuing a damsel from an evil being. He would take her back to her family and they would reward him with gold and knives.
"Not far now, soon you'll be safe!" He called back to the girl. She was a pretty thing, moving through the off coloured the the off coloured landscape gracefully. Wait, Ralkar just realized something, the grass was bodaciously greener on the other side of the boundary, on his side it was dying. Hm, this was probably the monster's doing. This is really some potent evil he was dealing with.
With a small hop, careful not to break the mushrooms, he crossed the boundary.
Upon seeing the line of small fungi, the girl broke into a run, desparate to get across the boarder. She practically fell over it, tripping at the last second. She let her self fall to the ground in relief, and began to laugh.
"Ha ha, glad you are pop flyin' to be safe," Ralkar said to her, offering his hand to help her up.
But she ignored him, and just carried on laughing.

"Free!" She cried out, laughing as she sat on her knees upon the ground. She ran a hand across the green grass, feeling the smooth, soft blades slip between her fingers.
When her mad laughter finally died down, she breathed in deeply(though there were no air holes in her mask) and sighed. Standing, she turned to Ralkar.
"I owe you my thanks." She said, her voice the calmest it'd been in a while.

While the others where engaged in combat, Palenque whipped out the bazooka device, aiming it for the creatures chest. The small tubes began to spin, and a sphere of electricity began to form at the end of the gun.
With one last attempt to aim it perfectly, he launched the ball at the creature-
-and it phased through, exploding as it hits the back wall of the windmill, quickly setting it alight. "No, no NO, that's not supposed to happen! anti-material ghost demons..... The fire spread quickly up the windmill wall, quickly reaching the ceiling and causing bit of ash and burning rubble to fall. Pulling out the double-bladed dagger, he prepared to fight the beast. "Well, I have no idea how to kill this thing now...."

The fire spread quickly up the windmill wall, quickly reaching the ceiling and causing bit of ash and burning rubble to fall. Pulling out the double-bladed dagger, he prepared to fight the beast. "Well, I have no idea how to kill this thing now...."
"I don't need your thanks," Ralkar replied, "Your gold is all I need."
The girl stared at him for a few seconds.
"Right, yes! Gold. I can help you get gold!"
"Really, how?"
"Those keys you are looking for, I think i know where one is."
She asked for a pen and paper, oce Ralkar supplied them to her she scribbled frantically on the the paper. Ralkar kept quiet as it seemed that she was concentrating pretty hard, harder than he usually does, which isn't very.
Eventually the scribbles began to look like a map of a town, some sort of seaside town, in the middle of the nearby ocean she drew a strange looking key.
"Hey!" Ralkar cried excitedly, "I know that place, that's Porton. Is that where the keys are?"
THEN I GOT BORED OF WRITING AND THEY WENT TO PORTON

Jason Caulfield sat on his desk in a small cottage in Windmon. The air blowing through the open window, his ears filled with music,
They put a hard-wire to my head, because the things I did and said...
He looked over to his mail-box to see two letters. One from his dad, the other unknown. Sliding his chair over, he opens the nondescript letter. Only a few sentences lay on the paper.
Scattered throughout the world are Seven Keys to Your Heart's Desire. Claim them and you shall have what you want the most. Be it for good, or for evil...your choice.
He chuckled a bit as he put the letter in his jacket pocket. "Well, I'm game." He looked outside his window and saw three travelers, heading towards the windmill. He stroked his chin, adjusted his monocle, and walked outside the door to approach them.[/img]

As they had spoke, she had recalled the vision she'd had earleir. The vision of the keys. One was near a town by the sea. After speaking briefly with Ralkar, she scribbled down the image of the land she could see in her mind's eye. He informed her of the name of the location she did not recognize.
"Porton..." She whispered. "We shall go."
A hand whipped out, gripping Ralkar's shoulder, sharp nails digging into him slightly. She shut her eyes, concentrating hard, as the broken gem in her back glowed. Blue crackles of electricity ran through the air around them like veins, as a sourceless wind swirled about them. The ground beneath their feet shook
With a loud bang and a puff of grey smoke, Ralkar and the strange woman vanished from where they stood, only to reappear in Porton.
Or, at least, above Porton.
She cursed. 'Something went wrong with my spell AGAIN!'
She screamed as they fell into the town, while at the same time trying to keep her decency with her tattered dress.
(AND THEN THEY WERE FALLING FROM THE SKY)

After seeing that the engineers bazooka merely phased through the Demon, Jason stopped and noticed that his bullets were just going right through and hitting the back wall. Or at least they had been hitting the back wall until it disappeared in a giant fiery explosion. He swore under his breath as he fired a last shot in frustration at the Demon. He heard a slight crack and an ungodly scream coming from the demons direction. He clamped down on his ears and look towards the thing. Apparently, his bullet had hit the demon right in the crystal on its circlet. Jason grinned in confidence and shouted to the Engineer guy.
"Try to hit the demon at the Crystal Circlet! I think that may be its weakness!"
Unfortunately, the demon heard this and swung a sharp, bony claw at Jason. He duck and rolled but not before getting his arm moderately cut.

"HONORLESS SCUM! WRETCHED WORMS! VILE BUGS YOU ARE!" the creature screamed, his voice ringing in the travelers' ears. "AM I TO FALL TO YOU? ABANDONED CHILDREN?!!? HEROES HAVE FALLEN TO ME!!!" he screeched
"FALLEN WARRIORS, ANCIENT HEROES!!! ARE YOU TO LET THESE CHILDREN FELL ME WHERE YOU COULD NOT? IF I AM TO DIE, YOU ARE NOTHING!!!" unnatural shadows were forming as he wailed.
Creatures, shadows of the fallen warriors, crawled and wormed out of the shadows. They started to walk towards the group.
Zang looked around, and at the monster. "The chains!" he said, looking back at the shadows. "If we die here, you're all still nothing but failures." he began. They didn't like that, more of them walked out of the shadows towards the group. "But if you help us end this monster your legacies will live on, you'll be free!" Some of the creatures stood still. some turned and looked at the creature. Some simply merged back into the shadows.
"FOOLS, IF I END SO SHALL YOU, YOU'RE ALL NOTHING! NOTHING!!!" it wailed. The shadow beings became irritated at this. the started to merge into the shadows once more.
"HAAAHAAAA, YOU HEROES ARE NOTHING, FAILURES, LIKE ALL BEFORE YOU!" the monster laughed.
The creature's arm suddenly jerked into the wall, it screeched. The next arm did as well. "LET ME GO, YOU WILL FALL WITH ME, YOU'LL BE FOGOTTEN!! NOTHING!!" the chains on the creature were being pulled into the shadows. Next came the chains on his shoulder pads. The creature was tied to the wall, nowhere to run, no one to help him. "WRETCHED URCHINS, YOU'LL NEVER BE REMEMBERED!! YOU HAVE NO HEADSTONE, NOTHING HAS OR EVER WILL HONOR YOUR LIFE, YOUR DEATH, NOTHING!!" The creature was so loud the travelers could barely think.
Zang turned his companions and mouthed the words "Make this shot count. aim for the jewel." Zang aimed two fingers , charging with a white energy, at the crown. Palenque readied his knife, Bill was ready to throw his sword, as the newcomer aimed carefully at the creature. All fired. The projectiles dug into the gem, shattering it . Light poured out of the creature, it burst. the darkness in the room was replaced with pure light. Souls of the fallen were now distinguishable and pleasant, they were clapping, cheering, the black outside the windows were now pure white. The key slowly appeared in front of them, Quep slowly walked towards it and touched it. The key burst a flash of light, a white glowing orb was replaced with it, the aura went into Quep's body as a symbol of a keyhole appeared on his chest.
Slowly, everything returned to normal, the building was back in it's original state, the outer windmill was once again windmon. A brick fell beside Zang.
"Well, that's odd...." he began, another fell. The building started to rumble. "Time to go guys!" He said, running with the group down the stairs. The building caved in just in time for them all to make it out of the door. The five stood there looking at the mass pile of rubble.
The second key had been collected.

While coughing from the debris, Jason adjusted his tie and holstered his pistols. All of the sudden, his left arm felt like fire due to the gouge. That's not good, and I don't think those few healing salves are going to help. He began to apply some bandages to at least stop the bleeding. When he was finished, he turned around to get a good look at his new-found companions. Holding out his hand for a handshake, he said "Nice job finding the second Key. I'm Jason, Jason Caulfield. What are the names of this interesting group?"
