((official OOC thread http://w11.zetaboards.com/Xzye/topic/8801294/1/#new )) This land, beautiful and green, untouched by the same troubles that about upon Earth, contains many stories. Some end with triumph and the exhilaration of overcoming insurmountable obstacles, while others end with tears of sorrow at the bitter loss of defeat, and the grief of a death. These stories continue to be made as time passes... how can they not? For the unquenchable thirst for adventure, the hunger of curiosity drive the races of this land. Saela it is called, and young though it is, it is filled with mysteries, inexplicable happenings that keep life interesting. No such excitement however has surfaced in the last few years, people began to grow complacent, bored even at the slow peaceful pace that life had begun to take. Maybe this is why so many took action when the rumors started. Rumors that the inexplicable had happened yet again. Treasure, power, ancient secrets, all the dreams of storytellers, that is what the rumors promised, and through the passing of time, peoples memory of the downsides that follow such illustrious rewards. The reality of the adventure. Saela, a diverse and wonderous land, filled with awe-inspiring mountain ranges that seem to touch the very heavens themselves and oceans that filled the horizon with water crystal clear. Wild plains of uncultivated land, the large cities and dwellings of the major races. Though many species took refuge in this realm, the most common and well known were the Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Dragons, Falcori, and Sindar. Edited by VenNer Wrydavigy, May 13 2013, 10:24:27 PM.

You have heard the buzz of rumors circulating around your current residency for the last few weeks, rumors that you have been finding it harder and harder to push to the back of your mind. Rumors of treasures beyond your wildest dreams, ancient and powerful relics from a forgotten age, just waiting to be claimed by a brave adventurer. You could be an adventurer... if the situation calls for it. Finally you give in to its allure. With great haste you set out on your trek across a continent in search for power, fame and glory. After days of travel through wilderness and towns alike, you finally meet your first travelling companion, a fellow adventurer, drawn by the prospect of treasure. He is sitting down in the shade of a tree, back leaned up against its trunk, arms crossed over his chest and looking quite content in his rest. His sword, unbuckled from his waist, lay at his side just within reach. Though he doesn't grab for it as his head turns to look at you. |

The young men's eyes meet and the traveler stops. He stares for a little bit and then starts to continue walking. |

"Hey" They young man leaning against the tree calls out with a smile. "You out lookin' for the treasure too?" Leaning forward he uncrosses his arms, and then, bracing himself with hi right arm he stands up and walks over toward the man, leaving his sword resting in the grass. After two steps he finally notices the shackles on the mans wrists and ankles and stops, staring at the shinny metal bands. |

He turns around to see the approaching man staring at his shackles. "Maybe, who knows. What about you?" He says as he looks the man up and down. He soon notices the man's sword was left behind. |

The man's response brings his attention back to the mans face, though he also noticed the 5th shackle around his neck. Uneasiness begins to creep into his mind as he wonders if he's just invited trouble from this man by drawing his attention. Well, too late to think about that now. "Yeah," he replies, hiding his uneasiness. "I set out from home just a week ago. I've been heading north the whole time. Heard something about it being in the mountains around here." He takes another few steps forward and offers a hand, trying not to look at the mans former bindings. "The names Miles by the way." This was all part of the adventure wasn't it? Meeting shady characters? Escaping with your life. It was only then that Miles realized that he had left his sword on the ground behind him, out of reach. |

He walked past him and picked up his sword. "Here. No need to act brave around me. You're new to being out in the world so its best if you keep your weapon on you." He says with a sigh and hands him his sword. "Fallus. What made you want to just adventure out of the blue?" Edited by ArousingSoul, May 14 2013, 08:19:30 PM.

Miles brain struggled to keep up the information just given it. He automatically grasped the sword and began to buckle it to his left hip as instructed. "Ummm, thanks..." Slowly the man's second statement registered. "Oh! I was just a bit bored with my life at home. I thought an adventure would make things a bit more interesting that the usual hum-drum routine of life... that and the treasure would be nice to have." Miles finished with his sword and looking back up at the man and asked "So what about you? Seasoned adventurer looking for the next great treasure trove to be plundered?" |

"Seasoned? No, I'm nothing like that. I wanted money and this seemed like the easiest occupation aside from being a thief." He says with a straight face. He looks up in the sky and sighs. "I kinda wanna relax...I need to find something that can make me some money." Edited by ArousingSoul, May 14 2013, 09:06:02 PM.

Miles tried to ignore the part about his new acquaintance possibly being a thief. "So first time to? Dang, you look like an adventurer to me... or at least a warrior." He gestured to his current clothes, and then gestured to his shackles and asked the obvious question. "So... I have to ask... whats with the shackles?" He walked back to the tree he had been sitting against earlier and leaned back on it again casually. |

He waves his left hand in disagreement and says "I've tried to go adventuring a couple times but I ended up losing more than I gained." with a sigh. "Don't you know? Its a fashion. Fashion. Only people who are in jail would have shackles. I'm not capable of breaking out of a prison. Too much work." He says without making eye contact. Edited by ArousingSoul, May 14 2013, 09:06:19 PM.

"UUhhhhhh..." Miles stared in disbelief at Fallus, then looked away, deciding to let the subject go. A few moments passed in silence. And then a few more, and then a few more. As things slowly began to get awkward Miles spoke up. "Soo... have you heard anything about where specifically this place might be? All I've heard is that it's deep underground under those mountains there." He gestured northward toward the mountains. "But that's about it. I haven't heard much about what it looks like other than 'I'd recognize it when I saw it'" |

"You mean there isn't some kinda over the top giant tower with treasure in it or a flying castle in the sky? Man, I really don't feel like searching..." He says with a sigh. He looks at the mountains with disbelief and starts to walk in that direction. "Thanks for the info. See you round." He says as he starts to walk away. |

"Hey wait a second." Miles says as Fallus starts to walk away. He gets up grabs his sparse bag of belongings and quickly starts to follow him. "The time always goes faster when you're not alone. Mind if I tag along?" |

He stops and turns to his new ally and responds: "Sure why not. You have to take care of the fires and getting water though." with a sleepy yawn. Edited by ArousingSoul, May 14 2013, 10:09:32 PM.
