Final rest of Ironjaw

Ridore looks around as she takes the usual view of the surrounding but from a different point of view that she would be use to, she then asks Biruwing to land. After Biruwing lands She slides off his back as she walks over to the tombstone with Biruwing and Silvercoat following behind. She stops in front of a tombstone that has her mothers name on it. She kneels down in front of it as she yet again notices the slash going though her name, She sighed and punched the ground, Not because of the slash though her name, but because a new slash had been added though another members name……Julbles name.

Before anything else, like any other time she’s visited her mother’s grave, She removes not one but both her and her sisters slash off their names. She then pulls out a Jar as she puts it on the ground in front of her between her and the gravestone. “Hello mother, it’s been a while. As you can see I’m doing well as usual….However I have some sad news my sister, your daughter Julble passed away trying to save me, just as you did back years ago.” Tears form in her eyes as she opens up the lid to the jar. “My longest living companion who’s been with me though thick and thin, he was killed…..Ironjaw burnt alive by the Burning legion…After that, I had lost all hope….I had no reason to go on anymore, My idea of family….Out the window.” Ridore sobbed as tears fall from her face to the ground, Biruwing walks next to Ridore as he puts his head towards Ridore and rubs against it. Ridore looks at Biruwing as he licks the tears from her face. “Thank you….” She turns back to the gravestone. “Mother, I had lost hope, But because of another hunter such as myself, Xarisone’s sister. She helped me back on my feet, and took me to this wonderful new companion. This is Biruwing, my newest companion, friend and family. We will be a team, just like Ironjaw was, we will be a team and we will protect everything we hold dear.”

She lifts up the jar. “So I leave Ironjaw with you, so you both can watch over us.” She sprinkles the ashes of Ironjaw over the tombstone. “Thank you for everything you have done for me Ironjaw….And goodbye.” The last of the ashes fall from the jar as she kneels there for a time, She stands up as she turns to Biruwing and Silvercoat. “Lets head back, we have work to do.” She climbs up on Biruwing as he takes off into the air leaving the tomb stone in the distance.

Two gnomes walk out from the distance as they watch Ridore fly off, they looked at each other. “So the Wolf died huh.” The second gnome spoke. “Seems so, but she gained a new one so shortly after, I guess her being a friendlier of the beast is annoying.” The first gnome spoke. “No matter, father will want to know that she visited mother again, and what she did as well.”

Family

Julble lands in Dalaran as she hands over the reins of the mount to the flight master as she turns and heads towards the passage way that leads to the streets of dalaran. Once though she starts heading for the alliance side of dalaran as she gets herself lost in thought. “She really needs to stop getting into shit, if I have to keep looking out for her when her own people can’t then she’s gonna do exactly what our family wants to happen……., I just hope that, that Brad guy took my warning seriously, because if not then shits gonna get real.”

As she finished speaking those words, she hears the voices behind her. “What shit is gonna get real sister?” She looks behind her as she recognizes the two as her twin brothers. “Just planning for our sister’s demise. That was the shit I was talking about.” As she said that the twins look at each other as they smirk, then speaking as one. “Well sister that’ll have to wait till another day. You’ve been called back home, he wants to speak with you.” She looks at the two before nodding. “Fine I’ll head home now.” Without another word she turns and heads away from the twins, once out of ear shot. “Shit, so those two are here…..Be careful Ridore.”

Talking, Just talking

Ridore slowly opens her eyes another day later; this time another gnome like her is sitting just away from her with their weapon sitting next to them and another in their hand. Ridore winces. “Ugh damn demons.” She looks at the gnome. “You really need to decide whether to keep me alive or to kill me now, because you’ve already confused the hell out of me, but I know if they we’re to find out, they’d have a different story to tell.” The gnome shrugs as they continue to work on the weapon.

Ridore opens her eyes again a few hours later noticing she may have lapsed off. She noticed the gnome had yet again changed her bandages. The gnome was in the same spot as they we’re previously, the gnome spoke. “You know if you’re giving them an easy job by getting yourself killed.” Ridore looked at the gnome. “It’s not like I do it on purpose. Anyway why do you care, just like everyone else you want me dead for what happened to mother.” She looked down. “It was mother who jumped to save me; I’d have rather her not have been there that day…” The gnome kicked Ridore lightly. “I know at least that it’s not your fault, but it doesn’t change the fact of where we are today……And don’t put me in their lot either.”

Silent follows for a while as the gnome continues to work on a weapon. Ridore looked over and noticed it’s in similar design as the one she had dropped back there, and then something dawned on her. She looks at the gnome. “What did you mean don’t put me in their lot?” The gnome sighed. “I don’t want you dead you stupid idiot…..the others yes, me? No, or don’t you see me trying to complete with you on anything that you do whether it’s to do with gun work, Mechanical or anything you do.” The gnome finishes working on the weapon and tosses it to Ridore. “You can use that on me if you wish, as I told that human….What was his name...Codox or something?” Ridore smiles for a second. “Yea, Brad Codex.” The gnome nods. “Right, anyway as I told him, I could have had plenty of opportunities to kill her, yet I haven’t yet. And yes I knew about the death of our brother. Probably good ridden if you ask me…”

Ridore’s Sister said nothing else as Ridore closed her eyes to rest some more knowing that even if she had her weapon she’d not have much of an advantage…

(OOC: This was the Final part Blog of the first two posts of Separation and Staying alive)

@orderofthetruedawn @xarisone @bradcodex

Staying alive

Ridore swears in gnomish as the imps change direction to attack her, as they are charging her, she looks around seeing not much of an alternative she crouches down as she prepares an attempt to protect herself even if she had to use her fists. Suddenly two of the imps drop to the ground as blood splatter around then, the imps notice their buddies fall as they suddenly look around in confusion as they attempt to find where the source of the attack came from. Ridore noticing their confusion starts to move to her left as she notices there is less demon infestation, one of the imps notices but before it could move it suddenly finds itself fall to the ground like the first two. The final imp remaining wastes no time as it starts to run after ridore before any hits could be made.

Ridore notices the imp running at her, without thought she starts to run in the direction she was heading towards as she holds her chest. Suddenly two eredar notice her as she keeps running in the direction, a second later they start muttering words as their hands move though the air, before one of the eredar could get a cast off one of them finds a bullet piercing though it’s head. The second one fires off a shot as fel bolt hit ridore in the back, Causing her to go forward a bit hitting the ground face first. “Fel flames. Why is it always fel flames.” She mutters for a second, before getting up slowly and continuing onward, by this point the second eredar was lying on the dead with blood pooling around it.

Ridore continues to move slowly as the wound on her chest has opened up and the burns on her back prevents her from moving any faster than she is already moving. As she moves forwards and onward in the same direction the path seems to be cleared of any obstacles with demons laying dead in her vision.

Ridore continues to walk the path until she reaches an over look of rocks free of any demons. She looks behind her for a moment as she see’s the glimpses of a gnome before it hops out of view, down below she notices demons down the path she had just walked noticing more demon corpses.

A little while later she notices a little bit cover as she slowly moves over to it before collapsing to the ground darkness following…

(OOC: this is a continuation of Separation post I did earlier)

@xarisone @orderofthetruedawn

Separation

Ridore weakly watches as she’s taken away from where her companions are, already having started to struggle to get free from the fel bats grip, she continues to struggle before noticing a gap in the holds pit, Wasting no time she gets into her pouch and pulls out a item and jams it into the fel bat causing it to lower it’s height a bit. A few moments later the fel bat explodes dropping ridore, she falls and hits the ground hard knocking her silly for a moment. Quickly she attempts to pick herself up as she slowly moves towards the Gap in the pits side.

As she reaches the gap she notices that nothing is guarding it, so she quickly moves though it to get as much distance as she can from any Demon that may be nearby. Eventually Ridore comes to a patch of green land and a tree that hasn’t been destroyed or otherwise. She moves herself over to the tree and goes around to find a bit of a brush. She hasn’t forgotten her wound she had got given by the imps from earlier as she pulls out her Med Kit and attempts to Bandage it up. She was halfway though the attempt before losing consciousness.

What seems like a day Ridore wakes up to find herself still alive. She looks around as she notices a fruit of some sort just laying there next to her, She doesn’t recall seeing any fruit being here before she passed out. She also noticed that her chest was recently bandaged, which she finds odd because of two things, for start she’s never really been good at first aid, second of all if the one she half did before passing out yesterday was still on her it would have been bloodied up by this point.

After making sure the fruit was edible and not tampered with and had fed herself with it, She notices a trail down to where the stream is. She slowly picks herself up and moves down the trail. As she reaches the stream she slowly kneels down and cups her hands so she could drink some of the water. After taking a drink she looks over to the other side and notices another trail leading up into where ever it leads. Seeing as she has no other way to turn and that she wouldn’t have enough strength to swim up or down the river she swims over to the other side and makes her way up. As she reaches the top, she notices another demon infested grounds, at the same time a group of imps moving from one area to another noticed ridore. she swears in gnomish as they change their direction as they go to attack her….

(OOC: this is a continuation of after Ridore was separated from the group after the previous guild event.)

@orderofthetruedawn @xarisone

Ridore sighs as she sits at the desk thinking back to what has happened over the last few months. The order she had been with going down into the depths of what had happened, Her commander who was in jail for what happened, and her taking leave because of her own family after which still chases her down and attempts to kill her at any chance of weakness.

She looks over to her newest companion who’s perched on an unused chair, and her closest companion lying down next to the chair as she moves over to her new companion on the chair, she puts a hand up to it as she pats its head. It rubs its head against her as she smiles. “Looks like your doing good today after what happened.” She puts her hand down as she looks down to Ironjaw as he looks up at her before putting his head back down to where he was resting it.

She moves back to her seat as she starts writing down on parchment. A moment later the door explodes inwards as she drops out of her seat into a roll while grabbing her weapon that was next to her, she comes up in a crouch as she points her weapon aiming at the exploded door.

A laugh could be heard from the other side as she hears a noise from the other side. Quickly she flips her weapon as she swings causing whatever was flying in her direction to go flying back out the same way, a moment later another explosion could be heard. She motions to Ironjaw who jumps up and charges out the door before a gasping sound could be heard, as another item flies though the door, without thought she shoots at the window and jumps though it as her new companion follows, shortly after followed by Ironjaw running around from the door side.

An angry scream and another explosion could be heard following behind her as she runs from the place she was staying at…

((OOC Post))

Icly, the leader of the order, Marshal Ithream Greyheart was arrested, tried and convicted of treason.

As such, we extend our hands in friendship to all our former allies and friends and look forward to re-establishing ourselves on the server.

Campfire thoughts

Ridore sits by the camp fire as she looks up to the night sky above, she’s deep in thought as she thinks about the things that has happened recently. “So much has happened lately that I haven’t had much time to just be with my own thoughts lately, first there is the whole thing with getting here. Took all my effort just to get us here safely. I still worry about what happened to Shana though……we managed to find Malrinius yet no signs of Shana.” She leans backwards as she rests her arms on the back of the stool. “Then there was that stupidity of Rycroft who was going to risk his own life to attempt to save Xarisone regardless of what happened. As I stated to him at the time he wasn’t the only one who lost someone on the ship that day…..”

Her thoughts go to her partner who she thought she wouldn’t have ever found. “Jicu…every day I think of this I’m always glad you and I joined the same order, if it hadn’t been for that we would have never meet.” She thinks about what their future would hold for a few moments as she looks to her stomach. “Of course I’m happy about it, but with my family always after me……” She shakes her head of those thoughts as she goes back to what else had happened recently.

She then goes back to what happened recently. “so we went to this place call High mountain the place that apparently where Xarisone had first landed with her ship……wrecked at as well. Anyway we went there to see if we could fix it……..damn dragons, because of it Xarisone was taken out of action for a bit……putting me in charge for the rest of the day. We found some tauren…..or whatever they are so we could rest.” She sighs. “Good thing Jicu was with us or we’d be having a grand time trying to understand each other.”

“Anyway next day, more stuff happened and we killed some bird things as part of our deal for the use of one of their tent. As went on our way and found our boat and fixed it up with a bit of interference.” She yawns as she gets up and heads towards the tents. “Tomorrows another day.”

@xarisone @jicumagictwister @rycroftaldermin @shana-marlowe

She looks around as she bids members of her order farewell as they go off and do their own thing for the day. Ridore on the other hand has a particular matter to deal with. She starts her search by asking some locals from the previous time this person had shown himself and seeing if there was any trail or anything of the matter. “Why did he have to be a warlock?” They shock their head as they had no information that could help her for the search. She continues though the city looking in the darker areas of town because she would know he wouldn’t risk being in the better parts of the town.

Its midnight as she finds herself hopeless and clueless as to there whereabouts of the one she searches for. Suddenly an arrow flies out of no where landing near her feet with a note attached. “This is the one and only time we’ll ever help you, he has gone farther than I imagined.” At the end of the note is written of a location in a place in the city she wouldn’t have thought of. She looks around to the buildings before heading off in the direction she was given. From the roof of one of the buildings a female gnome can be seen crouching out of view from her sister. “If the others find out about this I’ll get into shit, but I always hated my brother, he was always insane about anything.” She looks at the empty spot where Ridore was just standing. “Next time we meet I’ll have an arrow aiming at your head.” She hops off the building and heads towards the trams to report to the people about the Dalaran situation.

Ridore reaches the destination as she looks up and down the street before heading inside. She looks around as she spots a couple men sitting in what looks to be a waiting room. She quietly pulls loss her weapon as she silently pulls a trigger causing them to silently fall one after another. Quietly she moves past the dead bodies as she see’s a door leading down into a basement. Ridore starts down the stairway as she hears from muttering “Damn family. They want her dead as well. Why do they have to do a damn plan, it was taking to long and she was right there for the taking.” As she reaches the bottom of the stairs, she reaches up for the handle as she goes to turn it. Suddenly she hears a sound and ducks behind a wall as the doors suddenly go flying past her along with a blast of fire. She quickly backs up as she runs and rolls into the room coming up into a crouch with her weapon free and in her hand, aimed at her brother.

A look of surprise comes from her brother “Ridore….. I thought you would still be cowering behind those pathetic fools you call knights.” Ridore still having her aim on him. “If I recall you ran away with your pants wet after my so called ‘knights’ defeated your guards and not to mention you having failed to kill me. This by your actions not only pissed off me and my order, but also the family.” At this statement the brother screamed as he sent another blast of fire in Ridore’s direction which she easily dodged by ducking and rolling coming back into a crouch while also releasing her first bullet aiming at his head. He laughed as he incinerated the bullet before it ever reached him. He sends out another coil “You’re the reason mother’s dead.” Causing ridore to duck under the attack. “Hey don’t blame me that mother was being damn protective. I’m just as pissed and guilty about it happening as well, but the fact that you and the rest of the damn family is coming after me, after Seventy years. Don’t you think it’s a bit much?” The brother laughed “Well you know how the family is.”

Ridore picks up her weapons and pulls loss the holder, causing the bullets currently loaded to drop to the floor. “Glimfinkle, You’re a crazy piece of shit, you’ve been causing me trouble for months now, and even insulted the order that I’m apart of.” She then pulls out of her bags another load of bullets and loads them up, before pointing her weapon at her brother. “We finish this now, just you and me; you should even know that the other won’t be coming to help you.” He laughed manically. “You think I care about them, they we’re taking to long and only thing I care about is getting rid of you.” Suddenly he uses his power to summon a Felhunter. It starts charging at Ridore before suddenly getting intercepted and slammed into the wall by Ironjaw, Ironjaw growls as he and the Felhunter face off. Ridore notices Ironjaw taking the Felhunter’s attention as she turns her focus back to Glimfinkle.

Ridore and Glimfinkle start facing off as bullets and spells start flying. Glimfinkle starts taking bullets to his body as ridore takes the same amount dose of damage that her brother had sent in her direction. She pulls something out of her pocket and throws it in front of her as she presses a button on her wrist causing a cloud of smoke to appear. Suddenly the room was in a fog of smoke as the brother starts looking from one direction to another. Suddenly Ridore is behind him as she shoots him dead centre in the back causing him to scream, before he turns his hand and let’s looses a bolt of chaos at ridore taking her in her arm. She screams before dropping the gun she was holding. Glimfinkle looks at ridore as he grins “No weapon, No threat.” Suddenly he flips onto his back as he starts conjuring some more magic to send at ridore before suddenly finding a wolfs head right above him. “Well shit.” Ironjaw bites into his chest as he tears flesh as he screams. As Ironjaw is holding him, Ridore looks over to the wall to find a Felhunter’s body torn to shreds. She picks up the weapon with her good arm. She steps up to her brother as she pulls up her weapon and aims to his head “You really think mother would have wanted this.” Glimfinkle spits in Ridore’s face as he “Of course not, but I lost sight of that when I saw her grave.” Ridore sighs as she pulls the trigger causing a bullet to go though his head and causing Glimfinkle to go limp. Ridore sighs as she heads towards the door with Ironjaw, as he’s still holding her brothers body in his mouth.

Nightmare

Ridore wakes up as she looks around the room; her side still burns after yesterdays problems. She shouts from her bed to see if she can get anyone’s attention, she waits a few minutes but no one comes. She slowly climbs out of her bed as she holds her injured side as she slowly moves towards the door. As she is walking towards the door on a normal day she’d be able to hear anything from outside, anything from town’s people talking or going about their business to the birds in the trees making their tunes. But for Ridore she hears nothing but dead silence.

She reaches the door as grabs the handle and pulls open the door. She is greeted by a barren emptiness, there were no members of her order, No town’s people, no nothing around for miles. She climbs down the stairs as she walks down the path towards the tower and tents. She looks around as she shouts again to see if anyone responds, she still gets dead silence as she starts to walk again holding the side that doesn’t seems to want her to go anywhere.

She reaches the tents as her eyes go wide as the members of her order seems to just be laying there motionless. She moves between them checking if their alright to find they’re dead but how they died she doesn’t know. The faces are familiar to her as any other. Xarisone, Shana, Rycroft, Gaeus, Ovelacia, Zaverick, Brad and Gowrar. She looks at the dead bodies of her order as she looks around again seeing in other areas around the tents covered in dead bodies of the town folks.

She suddenly hears a loud blast as she looks up towards the tower as She see’s her brother and Jicu Magictwister fighting a fierce battle only for Jicu to get blasted in the chest as he goes flying off the tower only to land right in front of her as she hears the maniacal laugh of her brother. She attempts to drop to her knees to help the one she loves but is unable to as she is somehow frozen in time. She screams as she can’t move, even a finger as the surrounding area starts to darkens to black only to move inwards towards how engulfing everyone she holds dear. She watches in horror as the darkness starts to engulf him. She screams as she watches the last of him darken before she notices her own body being engulfed……

~Jicu by the Ocean~

Once at the cliffs edge, he drops down on both knees. His gaze fixed on the shoreline as wave after wave takes their turns crashing into the sand. He breathes slowly as his arms dangle by his side, though his hands curled into tight fists. He tries to look for the words as he feels his anger building deep inside. Opening his mouth several times before the only thing that manages to come forth is an “Ahhh…”, Which is followed by his torso slumping forward. His first drive directly into the dirt to keep himself from falling flat on his face. He continues to breathe but it quickly becomes more rapid. Tears quickly form at the corner of his eyes before sliding down his cheeks and crashing into the dirt below. He gives in more, his body shuddering as he continues to cry aloud.

“Fuck!”. He screams before lifting his right fist from the dirt only to slam it back down forcefully.

This onslaught of tears continues for a few more minutes before he takes a deep breath and pushes himself back up into a kneeling position. There he was, staring out at an ocean and world that owed him nothing. Crying like the child he was back before he had ever come to the city and before he ever had become a knight. He allows a small sigh to escape him before slowly extending his left hand towards the dirt he was pounding before. His eyes start to glow brightly with arcane magic. His fingers twirling in a familiar pattern and he quietly mutters something under his breath.

As he does this an image of Ridore Shortsteel forms in the small trails the arcane forms in the dirt. He continues to stare at the image in the dirt as his eyes slowly fade and his hand returns to his side. A small smile takes to his face but is quickly faded back into a frown.

“Ridore…I swear I’ll try my hardest to protect you…”. He speaks to her imagine in the dirt.

He slowly brings himself to his feet, standing. The winds pull at the loose strands of his hair. Taking a deep breath, he gives a nod towards the world around him in acceptance. He glances down at the image of Ridore once before turning and slowly starting to walk back from wince he came.

“Together”. He whispers to no one.
