Lily, thief, 17
Fabulously beautiful. VERY good thief, despite her allegations that she is NOT a thief, it's all a matter of circumstance. Yet her eyes get real big around treasure.... Lily is short for Delilah. She uses Lily cuz EVERYONE knows that delilah is the princess who escaped her parents and there's a huge reward for. Lily's parents are very magical people, and they rule over Laputa, the replacement for Alchorn.
Icarus, fighter, 22
Big, strong, handsome, good at fighting, wants to be in ballet. Saving up tuition by being on the journey. Dumber than a post.
Owl (Pelayn so they can call im pellet), 4
Leads group for the most part, is only sane one. Goes crazy as time goes on.
Selyan priestess, 18
Very beautiful, in a good-girl kinda way. She's very good at healing and exorcism, but is SO optimistic she got kicked out of EVERY convent and church around. Fairly clueless, easily overwhelmed by simple dillemas. Typical Selyan behavior is "Oh look, an ancient black dragon! I wonder if it will toast my marshmallows for me?"
Rayzekia, female fightermage, 19
Very beautiful, busty, and naughty. Beats up the priestess a lot. Half demon, immensly strong. If you've seen Tenchi Muyo!, she's a lot like Ryoko.
Fengal, martial artist, 80 and up
Kickbutt pervert. Came along because 'Social Security's failing'. Really cuz of all the cute babes! Lone survivor of the battle of Sephros. (30,000 dead) He was the only person on the other side.
REALITY CHECK : The battle of Sephros was everyone he'd swindled, everyone he'd been perverted to, everyone who would have good reason to hate him teamed up to kill him, led by a guy named Sephros. As Fengal was saying 'Oh shit oh shit I'm gonna die', a volcano sprang up and killed them all. Good publicity. There is a secret behind Sephros, who survived the volcano.. but it shall remain a secret.
Arisa, little girl, 10-12
Cute little girl with a small staff, not much good at fighting. Mute. Knows a lot
about the journey.
Amagdemon, sorceror200+
One of the lone survivors of Alchorn, the golden city, he is insane and responsible for a great deal of grief and death. Yet, he is very powerful and has an iron will, so he can do most whatever he pleases.
Kyvin, ninja, 18
Kyvin is a very powerful Ninja who works for Amagdemon who has a few secrets up his sleeve. He mixes his natural talent for magic with his incredible aptitude for the sword to create a very dangerous enemy. You never see his face though.. he is followed by his two closest friends and fellow ninjas, Jaelyn, who focuses mainly on magic, and Armor Prince (only name you know for him) who focuses mainly on physical attacks.
Kangrado, ancient monster
Big. Looks like the brontosaurus from hell. Almost seven stories high. Big. Evil. Powerful. Was sent by gods to harden humanity from another dimension, where she was leader. (of the entire place) Rest of her race got slaughtered by Alchorn's men (see below in the plot) when they came out, but she hid herself, and learned how to channel her power in this strange world. Several years after she learned how to do this, she destroyed the entire Magician's city of Alchorn.
Guru, ancient angel
He's old. He's nuts. But he's also very in-tune to whats goin on. He's an angel sent by the gods to help humanity because Kangrado was too powerful, but Kangrado was stopped in time, so he's been stranded here, doing what he can....
LOTGC STORYLINE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jericho (starts out alone) comes to a town and sees that there's a necromancer around that kills lotsa people including a particular young lady who everyone loved, so he sets out to kill the evil. (for money, of course, but he's also kind of a nice guy)
|
Jericho finds Icarus locked up in basement of Tower (who was actually fairly comfortable), they team up. (Icarus stopped in for a glass of water, but he is an adventurer - Jericho has to explain to Icarus that the necromancer is evil)
|
Jericho and Icarus kill necromancer, destroy tower. It goes something like this : The necromancer points at things and they blow up. Jericho and Icarus run like mad around the lab, trying to escape his wrath. Every one of Jericho and Icarus's attacks are deflected by an invisible shield. Jericho leaps up onto a table and casts a spell - rainstorm. Accidentally. Icarus gets knocked out, Jericho runs and dodges, then flings another fireball at the Necromancer, which bounces off. Jericho is captured by the necormancer and suspended in air. The necromancer asks him, "What are your last words?" "Oh, nothing much, except that wasn't rain. It was grease. And I did it on purpose." The necromancer looks down and notices he is on fire from being soaked in the grease and the fireball igniting it. Jericho gets the necromancer on the ground and then.. the necromancer does something rather unexpected. He becomes huge and demonic, screaming how Jericho will never get 'her', because he has waded through streams of corpses. Icarus and Jericho do some minor struggling where Icarus manages to cut off an arm only to have it grow right back, and Jericho charged up his greatest spell, the Soul Eater, and destroys the monster, as well as the entire tower. They get their reward and continue on their trek. (they're 17 and 18, you think you know where they're going?)
|
In the ruins of the tower, a cloaked figure stands up from the ruins, surmises the surroundings, then blinks out of existence.
|
In their wanderings, they meet Pelayn, who was the necromancers pet and can talk because of all the magic bouncing around the place. He tells them that the necromancer was a survivor of Alchorn, the legendary golden city. Icarus, being a dumbass, asks the owl what the legend is.
Legend goes like this :
Alchorn was formed by a king who was said to have been able to see the future. All the most powerful wizards on the planet came and resided in Alchorn, and as a result of this, there were some... side effects. Because of the incredible concentration of magic, the entire island of Alchorn floated. There were places where you could turn a corner and it would be night where it was day just before. There were no-gravity zones. Nobody CAST these spells, they just happened. In the year 1000, a great portal opened up and monster started spilling out. All the wizards in Alchorn lined up and destroyed the entire dimension as well as everything in it. In the year 1264, a demon named Kangrado came seemingly out of nowhere to Alchorn. Due to some political struggles at the time, the Alchorn wizards were not able to mobilize in time to be able to stop Kangrado. Kangrado destroyed all but 100 of the wizards before she was stopped and sealed into a sphere.
Pelayn doesn't know what happened with his master, he spewed out things about his dark master and muttered of Kangrado, and Pelayn thought that he had gone mad.

In a darkened courtroom, a page runs up to a man with long silver hair in a cape. The page stutters out, "He was killed...". The man replies, "Who did it?" "Unknown, sir." "The fool.. should've kept a lower profile... send Kyvin, he'll find them." "Yes, sir."
|
Sleeping at an inn, a thief breaks in and starts burglarizing them. Takes their weapons, takes their rations, but the INSTANT she touches the gold she has Icarus's hand around her throat. Then Icarus wakes up. Thief and them
team up after lengthy talk - it's Lily. She is very useful and thief-like.. general attitude towards Icarus and Jericho is that she flirts with them both, and just when Jericho thinks she likes him, she goes off and flirts a bit with Icarus. She's not a huge flirt, but there's enough.
|
As they exit town and are walking along a forest path, they come upon a long black blade upon the ground. Jericho leans over to pick it up and goes flying up at such an angle that it would've cut off his head if he hadn't been more careful. They look up to where the blade flew to and see Kyvin standing on a tree branch. He throws several magically-charged shuriken at them, which they dodge. Icarus runs up to him and starts slashing, which Kyvin dodges and retaliates against so quickly that he knocks Icarus out. Jericho has charged up a large fireball by now and flings it at Kyvin. Kyvin quickly flips out his obsidian dword, which creates a barrier that deflects the fireball. Kyvin charges up a shuriken and throws it straight at Jericho, only to have it thrown of course by one of Lily's daggers. Suddenly he finds Lily behind him, grappling him, with a sword around his throat. He stands very still and quiet, and as everyone is getting together, Jaelyn drops from the trees and teleports both she and Kyvin out.
|
Come upon Arisa surrounded by trolls in a forest. After they slaughter the trolls, Arisa communicates that she was the Necromancer's daughter through scherades (which Icarus gets after 15 or so wild guesses "Your dog is on fire and you need some waffles!?"), and that the entire group of Alchorn survivors, including her father. are trying to revive Kangrado, and he was sacrificing souls as scouts to find the sphere into which Kangrado was sealed. They team up, because she knows where the necromancers are. Arisa is generally innocent, and while Icarus may wander off on some bizarre subject, Jericho and Lily might cover Arisa's ears because it isn't fit for kids. She doesn't understand much, and her scherades with Icarus are hilarious.
|
(kill some necromancers)
They meet Harold the Dork Knight and a side story ensues in which they get Selyan on their team. Selyan was unwanted by the entire town, and so when a monster demanded a virgin sacrifice, she was thrown out on her ass. She's insanely optimistic and never shuts up. While a powerful priestess, she isn't exactly hero material.
|
While walking along a city street, the group turns a corner and is instantly trapped in a magical cage. Armor Prince, Kyvin, and Jaelyn drop down and prepare the cage for transport. Selyan says, "This isn't very nice at all.." and starts an incantation. Jaelyn blocks her magic, but fails to notice that the silver sphere on Jericho's chest has been starting to glow.. Jericho yells and they all break loose. A battle ensues where they cut up Kyvin's mask a little and find that he has long black hair, they burn Armor Prince's armor a bit, and they manage to overpower Jaelyn with both Jericho and Selyan. Again, Jaelyn teleports them away. Kyvin leaves a blade as a memento of this fight. The group, being the rather pragmatic people they are, sell the blade and get a good meal.
|
They go to Lady Valhorn's, the cat fanatic. It's a side story. If you all want the story, mail me.
|
They are hired out by a wealthy merchant to destroy this group or bandits that are being bad for his business. They go to the bandit's hideout and find several surprises waiting for them - half a dozen necromancers, Unal the Cyclops wizard, and Kyvin's gang. Unal is a big burly cyclops sorceror who is very stupid and not very good at magic. His most deadly attack is the blow of the superbean, which uses such unnatural flatulence that everyone is knocked out by it, while Unal is refreshed by it, strangely enough. Anyways, Jericho and his gang is overpowered by this incredible (snicker) attack and dragged off to "The Court". The Court is where all the survivors of Alchorn gather. Jericho is put on trial for the deaths of several necromancers. They have several attempts to break loose, but none of them work and they are stopped by Kyvin each time. "It's like he can read my thoughts or something... lets see... if I were a psychic, what would I do? Well how the hell should I know?!"
|
Jericho is put on trial in shackles. He testifies that he killed the first necromancer because he saw the grotesque experiments that he had done, and he had heard reports of the dozens of people he had killed. They call Icarus to the stands, who, while a bit dense, remembers his time locked in the cell. He testifies that the necromancer became a huge demon "that looked kinda like a really big shaggy dog with horns and waffles stuck to the side of it's face" and that they had to kill it. They are led back to their cells, and afterwards, Kyvin testifies that he found a pact sphere on the necromancer, so what they said was probably true. (a pact sphere is a sphere that a demon gives you when you make a very serious pact with them) Amagdemon argues strongly in prosecution, but they overrule him. They are to be released. Lily breaks Jericho out of his shackles and they begin to break loose from their cell (even though they don't know they're scot-free anyways), because they're certain they're about to be executed.
|
Suddenly a green-haired firey-eyed girl shows up and destroys the cell wall. They break out and run into the courtyard, where they are besieged by Unal again, who was about to leave, but figured he could get paid more (and thus get more beans) if he captures them again. Selyan throws up a mega-shield and the green-haired girl launches out a fireball. Unal, as a retaliatory move, cuts the cheese, causing a colossal explosion that blows up the last wall they would have to break through, and they're free. The green-haired girl turns out to be Rayzekia, who was trailing them from the last town because Icarus was really cute. She's mean, busty, and naughty, and hangs all over Icarus, who doesn't get it, and beats up Selyan, who doesn't get anything.
|
Amagdemon sees them break loose, and is thoroughly impressed. He goes after them on horseback, accompanied by Kyvin's gang. During this scene, Kyvin calls Amagdemon "father".
|
Travelling along, they hear of some old guru (who is an angel - litterally)and go to him. They hear legend of 'The 6 that will defeat Kangrado' that was made a long long time ago as an eventual solution to the ancient monster. The guru sees they have 6 in their party, so he sends them to the ruins of Valkar, which swarms w/monsters. Everyone does very well except Arisa. In fact, when it comes down to the last battles - fighting shadows of yourself, Jericho is beaten up by his copy, Icarus and his copy sit down and play cards, Rayzekia kills her double while its back is turned, Lily steals everything from her double, and vice versa, so they're constantly in a stealing frenzy until the double has all the gold and Lily has all the daggers. Lily wins. Selyan's double depresses her and makes her cry (just as depressing as she is optimistic) until the gods themselves can't handle her crying anymore and just squish the double. Arisa and her double stand there. They stare at each other. The screen moves away to their shadows... and you hear a shriek. Jericho is still getting his ass kicked by his double, and during the beating, he looks up and his weary mind makes it look like Kyvin who is beating him. Jericho gets up, his sphere glowing, and destroys the double completely and thoroughly. They go back to the guru, and, unfortunately, Arisa is not one of the six.
|
Amagdemon sees this display with the sphere, and orders Kyvin to get it from him. "That sphere.. it couldn't be.. THE sphere... could it?" While Jericho is spending some quality time with Lily, and they are about to kiss, they are interrupted by Kyvin's attack. Jericho flings a fireball at the bastard and kisses Lily anyways. THEN they get to fighting. The fight isn't as hard as normal, and Jericho, high on life, verbally batters Kyvin. "What? You seem depressed.. what.. are you JEALOUS?" Jaelyn drops in and after blasting Jericho away, comments, "You are, aren't you?""That doesn't matter. What matters is getting the sphere." Armor Prince drops in and comments, "We could try getting the girl too, if you want." "......." "You know he wants it, Prince." "Yeah.. Kyvin, we'll do it even if you don't want us to." "...fine. But our priority is the sphere." After a brief skirmish, they get the sphere and kidnap Lily. Jericho shrieks in rage and follows after them..."I have an inborn ability to sense where his sphere is.. it's like I'm linked to it. I can follow them." So the group runs after them.
|
The chase leads them to a secret keep where Amagdemon and Kyvin live. While Lily is in his room, Kyvin takes off his mask for the first time. He looks almost dead-up like Jericho, except with longer hair. Lily's jaw drops down in shock. While they're spending quality time together, it becomes quite evident that Jaelyn and Armor Prince are an item, and Amagdemon is quite insane. He toys with the sphere a bit and concludes that it isn't the sphere into which Kangrado was sealed. However, it is made of mithril, which greatly boosts magical power by making emotions go wild. If you hate, you don't stop hating. If you love, you love deeply. He uses the mithril to boost his own powers to call Kangrado to him. Cut to a scene of Jericho and the gang riding on horseback. Cut back to Kyvin's bedroom. He tries wooing Lily, but she changes the subject to his uncanny resembelance to Jericho. Kyvin says that he was raised by Amagdemon, and he knows nothing of having a brother. Amagdemon busts in and says, "Jericho is coming for you, Lily. Kyvin, give her back." Kyvin glares at Amagdemon and mutters out, "....no." Amagdemon's eyes grow firey and he blasts Kyvin, ripping his clothes and revealing many scars upon his arms, chest, and back. Kyvin eventually submits to handing over Lily. Unfortunately, by this time, Jericho has already blasted down the gate. He runs straight through Armor Prince and Jaelyn, bowling them over, and breaks into Kyvin's chamber. He notices the uncanny resembelance, but is not fazed by it. After a brief skirmish, Kyvin hands Lily over and runs away. Jericho and Lily, happy that they are once again together, go after Amagdemon and the sphere.
|
Amagdemon is standing in his chamber, laughing like a madman, yelling that the end is near. Kyvin drops in, shirtless and maskless. Amagdemon turns to see Jericho busting in. He looks at the two and then the sphere. "Oh.. oh... ha.. ha.. hahahahahaha!!! It makes so much sense now! I remember.. I remember!!! Hahahahahaha! It WOULD be you, son of Solomon, who comes to stop me!" Jericho and his group, teardropped, just kinda stare at the madman. Kyvin looks at Amagdemon in vague interest as well. Amagdemon notices this and laughs out, "Hahahaha! You too! This is perfect! Of course! And the sphere was his as well! All you own is MINE now, Solomon! I've outdone you at last!" Kyvin inquires, "What are you talking about, father?" "I'm not your father! Haven't you figured that out by now?! You stupid child! You have outlived your usefulness, all of you! My dark lord is this time come!!" Kyvin, Jericho, and both their groups charge Amagdemon, only to be easily repelled. "I am not detroyed so easily, children! I have lived for centuries! I am a survivor of Alchorn! You will all die soon.. killed by my dark lord, Kangrado." "You.. madman." "Madman with power. Crucial difference there." Amagdemon paralyzes them all with a spell and tosses the sphere behind him, walking out onto his balcony. Jericho wills the sphere to him and breaks the spell slowly.
|
"So, you're here, my dark lord...", Amagdemon whispers as he stands out on his balcony with a black cloud with red slitted eyes floats in front of him. "But.. who brought you out fo the sphere?" Suddenly his mind flashes back to Icarus's testimony - his saying that the first necromancer made a pact.. and yelled, "You'll never have her!".... "That fool.. he tried to kill you.. he killed those people to send them in there after you, but you fed on them, didn't you? And the sphere was broken along with the tower! He had the sphere all along, didn't he? And he hid it from me! He HID IT FROM ME! And as a matter of fate, Jericho killed him.. so you've been free all along... but you came anyways.. oh, dark lord, grant me power to reshape the world in your image!" As Amagdemon spreads his arms out to Kangrado, Kangrado lashes out and englufs him in the same black cloud that makes her up. He shrieks for awhile, then is gone. Kangrado blips out of existence just as Jericho runs out onto the balcony. "Oh shit...." He walks back in, and Kyvin and his gang are gone.
|
Knowing that Kangrado has been ressurected, they have an audition for the 6th member of the 6 that will defeat Kangrado- Harold the Dork Knight shows up 3 times, LadyV shows up for money, a very burnt Unal tries demonstrating his abilities, and some whacked-out weirdos show up too, as well as a rug which one of the necromancers animated. (not worthy of mentioning, so I didn't until now) None of em quite make it.
|
Depressed, travelling along, they meet an old man who refuses to leave em alone. They get besieged by trolls or bandits or something, they tell the old man to stay back. They look behind them, he ain't there. He's in front of them, standing over bandit corpses, searching them for cash. It's Fengal! He's perverted and weird and he is a bit too friendly to each of the girls, which gets him a fireball or two in the face when he goes after Lily.
|
They go back towards the guru, during which a strange episode occurs. they have to spend the night in a town, and a strange cloaked figure pulls each of them off from the party one at a time, having them chase it. It disappears, but near where it disappears is a person from the 6's past:
Jericho - fights against Kyvin, pulls off his mask to see his own face, then snaps back into reality.
Lily - It comes out that her name is not REALLY Lily, but Delilah. Her parents are the rulers of Laputa, Alchorn's successor city.. but she ran away because they treated her more as magical ability than a child. She fights against a palace guard which she had been in love with when she was younger, but he had his life gone to hell when she ran away and he got fired. Now he thinks he can get his life back together if he can kill her, even though he once loved her.
Icarus - Gets attacked by a giant version of his teddy bear which he accidentally dropped off a cliff when he was little.
Selyan - Her father attacks her. She is part of a large priest family, and her father was an important pillar in the community, but was abusive and horrible to Selyan. Because of this and her incredible faith in god she became so incredibly optimistic.
Rayzekia - Her old boyfriend comes to bring her back to Hell. Since she's half-demon, when her boyfriend fell in love with her, he wanted to be very close to her, and know what she felt all the time, so he foolishly made a pact with the devil to become half-demon. Unfortunately, the devil don't settle for just half. So he resides in Hell, and wants her back.. but his soul is gone, and so Rayzekia can't love him anymore.
Fengal - A long time ago, when he was semi-young, he fell in love. Fengal has had a WEIRD upbringing, so he don't know exactly what love is.. but he did fall in love once, with one girl.. but he didn't know how to go about any of it.. so in his feeble attempts... it ended up looking like he raped her, and her thinking that. She went.. kinda upset after that. She devoted her life to defending women from such predators and made her own style of martial arts.
They al fight and win, after which they find it was all an illusion, but it still puts down their spirits greatly. Finally they leave the town, which they hear burns to the ground 3 days later. On the path to the guru, the cloaked figure jumps out, and they all fight it, with Arisa staying behind, because the cloaked figure is dangerous. It's totally black, almost made of shadow. they finally defeat it, and it disappears.
|
Hopeful but kind of sad because of the face-offs against their pasts, they head back to the Guru. Before they get there, Arisa convinces the party cept for Jericho and Lily that Jericho is Kangrado, because he was the only one that saw what happened to Amagdemon.. he was the only one that was out there. Amagdemon was killed by Kangrado.. could Jericho just want to get the 6 together so he can kill them? It makes sense, so during a campout, they take Jericho in his sleep, tie him to a pole (after quite a fight against him), and are about to kill him when he notices a VERY evil gleam in Arisa's eyes, and realizes she's not quite what she says she is. She lifts the pole out of the ground with one hand and tries to kill him with oddly demonic spells. Icarus forces her away, at which point she starts to talk. Then she turns into Kangrado. They set Jericho free and try to kill Kangrado, but they get their butts whupped, and would die, except the guru sees them from his cliff dwelling in time (remember, Kangrado is 7 stories high - hard to miss) and casts a spell on Kangrado that stops her in place for one week.
|
They go back to guru, where Kyvin is as well, and get their questions answered - The guru was sent by the gods to help mankind against Kangrado, so he was at Alchorn. Solomon ruled there, and was the most powerful magician there. He also had two sons ; Jericho and Lezales. Then, when Alchorn was destroyed, Amagdemon killed Solomon and his wife in the panic and took his two children, who were too young to remember anything. Amagdemon studied the old scripts a lot and knew that demons existed, and, if siphoned, could be an insanely powerful source of magic. Solomon wouldn't permit it, it was too dangerous. In fact, he blamed Amagdemon for the outbreak of demons that Alchorn had to destroy in the year 1000. (one of the magic effects of Alchorn was that the inhabitants lived nearly forever, Solomon was 200+ himself) Amagdemon took this opportunity to mold his two sons, because they inherited their fathers ungodly power. However, raising more than one was too much of a pain, so he put them both in a dangerous place and whoever survived the longest he would take. He didn't notice, however, that the ball Jericho was playing with was mithril. He accidentally set off a spell and was found by farmers, who raised him as their own son. Lezales, however, was raised by Amagdemon. Amagdemon found that he had less of an aptitude for magic that he thought, so he gave them to elves to be raised by, who named him Kyvin, which means 'Swift one' in Elvish. Kyvin can't take this, goes.They get training. Then they are sent out into that world for missions.
Jericho - Find the Tome of the Ancients, learn the ultimate spell.
He finds it, it crumples in his hand.
Thief - Go back to first necromancer (where they found Icarus) and go through his things to find the ultimate treasure, a book called 'The Secret of Life', which sells for nothing in her mind, so she burns it, scavenging other goodies.
Icarus - Go to tomb of great general, find a path between 2 things - "How to do ballet in 12 easy steps", and divine armor. After 2 days of thinking, he gets the armor. When he gets back, the guru says "Okay, now use the Ballet dance of Death on the monster". "Uhmm...... oooops...."
Priestess -
Both Priestess and Rayzekia go on some quest, have to
work together. Haven't figured it out yet.
Rayzekia -
Fengal - Find the fountain of youth. He does, and while carrying a vial
back, doing a victory dance, he slips on a rock, shatters the vial and
causes a landslide to seal the cave to the fountain.
|
Insert 'Crimson Dawn' episode.
|
Alright, now they go after Kangrado. They finally meet the big girl, barely dent her at all. She charged up a huge spell which causes reality to ripple. At this point, Selyan jumps out and uses the full extent of her power.. the huge reality ripple is completely deflected, but it completely exhausts Selyan. Fengal, Icarus, and Rayzekia run along and, working together, manage to make her unable to do the reality ripple before being knocked out. Jericho then breaks out his trump card - a taped-together piece of the Tome - and recites it. This spell, the 'Demon's Corona' does a HUGE amount of damage to Kangrado.
|
But the big demon is still kicking. Kicking Jericho, in particular. Pelayn and Kyvin sacrifice themselves to prevent Jericho from dying. Lily, realizing near everyone's outta commission, tosses Jericho one of the things she found in the tower ruins : A piece of the sphere that sealed Kangrado in.
|
Using the sphere piece, he finally seals in Kangrado. They all recuperate, Jericho goes w/Lily, Icarus w/Rayzekia (he FINALLY realized she liked him!!!), Fengal pushes aside the boulders with his fingernails to get to the fountain of youth, after much clawing and scratching. Then he goes off to get babes.
Selyan wanders off with Fengal, because she has nothing better to do.
