Date: Sat, 15 Aug 2009 20:38:27 -0400 From: p3skyadam@aol.com Subject: Guild Wars - The Uprising This is fiction, if u want context, or have no idea about guild wars it's a game, this takes place after the events of factions, nightfall, and prophecies but ive not played eye of the north so this might argue against it. But still, the world of guild wars is a magical place where heroes arise to defeat big baddies. Guild wars is in no way really represented in this and is something i came up withduring a pondering session. If you enjoy it please e-mail me (im a total sucker for praise ;) ). At my time of birth Shiro Tagachi had returned, and my mother had been afflicted by the plague. fortunately she died before she had turned into a monster, but my father cut open her womb and dragged me out. The remainants of the plagues touch were both a gift, and a terrible curse for me. My soul had been warped, but i also knew the song of the mists, a powerful mana summoning spell that also drained life from a targeted enemy. My father feared i would become an abomination, and so decided to enlist the help of Master Togo, only to find he had been slain by Shiro. At least Devona had smashed Shiro's body into bits. The plague left Cantha, but my father couldn't cope with the loss of my mother, and the shame of having me. He took his own life. Devona took me up in her arms, and took me to Shing Jea Monastery to be raised, she left me a gift, a sword she had wielded against both the Undead Lich, and Shiro himself. She left, and i never saw her again. So i was raised at the monastery. The teachers were impressed with my talents, especially my talents as a Mesmer, in conjunction with song of the mists and the speed and grace with which i could spam spells i could defeat everyone in the monastery with ease by the age of seven. I could summon a horde of souls and a legion of undead minions, whilst also using a persons own energy to burn them into cinders before they could set out a single spell, which id usually silence before it was cast. Now i'm seventeen. I hadn't really known, nor felt love. Could a part afflicted like me actually do something like that? So i kept myself to myself. I found my closet friend to be Panaku, who i learned much of my history from. I learned about Abbadon's defeat in Elona, where the portal to the realm of torment had been opened. Panaku also had kissed me, once. The day he had died. I don't know what had happened, but he came to me, half dead, and told me he regretted not doing this before, and kissed me. He warned me that 'the scepter of orr was once again wielded, but a final component was missing. And for me to run." He then fell to the floor. Dead. I tried to resurrect him, but it wouldn't work, i went to the monks, and found resurrctions wern't working anymore, and the shines had crumbled into dust. It was in the chaos of realising ressurect wasnt working anymore that the monastery came under attack, and my destiny began to make itself known. It was only a few months after Panaku's death. Many students died during training before people realised the shrines and resurrect wasnt working. The monastery was coping with the losses. Headmaster Vhaung was desperately trying all his contacts to find out what was going on, and the leaders of the states of Elona, the princes of Vabbi, The leaders of Cantha, Emperor Kisu, Count Zu Heltzer and Elder Rhea, and the newly appointed Queen of Tyria, Queen Evennia were all coming to the monastery to share information. I, like all the other remaining students, tried desperately to see glimpses of them. We were made to wait outside, whilst the leaders talked in Linnock Courtyard. It was quiet; too quiet. The students around me were silent, trying to listen but i was watching the sky. I watched as the clouds turned black, and began to fall. Before anyone could do anything they appeared. "Assassins!" I yelled, sending out a quick bolt of energy which struck one which was about to slit the throat of a girl monk who i remembered name's was Jessica. The assassin fell to the floor, incinerated. Out of the corner of my eye i could see several students fall quickly. I whirled around waving an arm and bringing forth flesh golems from the newly deceased. The assassins stood no chance as their victims sprouted arms which tore them limb from limb. I bowed my head, and felt a chill in the arms as the spirits answered my call. Soon the assassins were all dead, without another student falling to their blades. I'd read about tactics, and that would just be the forward assault, i noted that the monks were being targeted first. Their healing powers stopped our soldiers dying, so it made sense to take them out first. But who would attack the monastery? I turned over one of the assassins bodies. On the cape was a symbol i recognised. But it couldn't be... A scream brought my attention to the man who had suddenly appeared in our midst. He was watching me. "So you're the one who's afflicted." It was then i noticed that he held something in his hands, it was "The scepter of Orr' the man confirmed with a smile. I frowned. "who are you?" No one was meant to know about that outside the few who had known since i was a baby. "It's time for me to collect what my father put in you." Shiro's Son!? I mentally gave the order for my minions to attack, but they did nothing. The man smiled. "The scepter of Orr gives me power over the undead." He waved and the spirits and minions turned on the students. "No" I called out. I quickly cast song of the mists, i knew the perfect spell to get out of this but it would take alot of energy. I targeted the spirits i'd just summoned and sent out wave upon wave of spiritual pain, the spirits exploded and the minions died as the power of the spirits dying struck them. Fortunately spiritual pain allowed me to shield the students from harm. Now Shiro's son was out numbered. "I am Shinra, son of Shiro." Shinra said. The students tensed up even further. There was a loud bang. We turned to look at the monastery, another bang. The great doors shook. A few students backed away from the door. then the scene exploded as an army poured out and a battle ensued. I kept my focus on Shinra. He was obviously they're leader. In a moment i had Devona's blade out, and used it as Shinra used the scepter to counter each blow i tried to use against him. "Why are you here?" I yelled at him. Ducking under a bolt he unleashed at me with the scepter. "I've already told you." He said following his attack up with a cascade of flames. " I dispersed them with a wave but Shinra already was moving up against me. "I want you!" He stabbed forward with the scepter. I felt it pierce my side. it wasn't a mortal wound, and i could heal it but first. I blasted Shinra away with a surge of lightning. the scepter still was stuck in my side though. The sounds of battle quietened as both sides took loses. I took the oppurtunity to strike down a few remaining invaders. In the end a handful of students remained. Shinra was on his knees. I tried to pull out the scepter, but it wouldn't budge. "It's useless; you're mine." Shinra said looking up at me. My eyes opened with shock as a pain beyond any i'd known rippled through me. Shinra was still controlling the scepter! I yelled and fell to my knees. Shinra rose. The students around just looked on, knowing they couldn't stand up to him. The pain kept building, and i felt something else too. Like something was being ripped out of me. I tried to conjure up a spell, but failed. Where'd my power gone!? Shinra took a step towards me. "As i said, it's time for me to take back what my father gave you." He pulled out the scepter and i fell to my side. He smiled and raised the scepter, then frowned. I understood, he'd tried to take out the plague, but only could take the power it had given me. "You can't take the affliction out of me. It's a part of me idiot." Shinra glowered. "Fine, i'll just take you with me." There was a bright glow as fire erupted all around us. My vision was hazy, and i didnt have the strength to move. But i felt someone pick me up. "Talon?" it was the warrior master. I turned my head, they were all there, the heroes of Cantha, Tyria and Elona. Cynn was smiling as more flames burst to life around us, i realised they were directed towards Shinra. Mhenlo jumped forward, to tend to me. I saw his face for only a moment, before he turned to dust before my eyes. Mhenlo was dead. "Students, follow me!" Talon shouted, before sprinting away, with me still in his arms. I was out of it, and just let sleep take me. I woke up with a jolt. "Oops, sorry. Did i hurt you?" I looked around and straight into the face of the monk i'd saved. "No. It's fine, thank you." I felt my side, which still twinged painfully, still, the wound was healed. I looked around. We were around a campfire, Cynn making flames take on forms of beasts which chased each other playfully. Devona sat with her back to us. Countess Danika was tending to Eve. Tahlkora, Jin, Margrid and the remainder of the students were sleeping around the camp. "Where are we? What happened?" Jessica squirmed, looking uncomfortable. "Well. This is the Gate of Anguish." "What!? why the hell are we in the realm of torment?" My loud tone was what she'd expected but she shrugged. "Well Shinra has put more thought into this then we thought. Cantha's already in chaos, Vabbi, Kouran has fallen, Istan's soon to follow. Tyria's safe from Shinra, but the Charr invasion is on the Queen's doorstep." "They survived? how? wern't they in the monastery?" She gestured to Devona. "They saved them. Although the leaders of Elona have already been killed or captured." "Mhenlo!. was anyone else...?" she nodded sadly. " Only those here, and Talon survived." My mouth fell open. "Kormir told us to hide out here, but i think we are going to return to Cantha." "Why?" I frowned. "Well, since Elona and Tyria aren't in a position to have an army we have to rally Cantha, which means that we need the Kurzicks, althought i think they are still pretty hell bent on finishing off the luxons once and for all." That was right. Only Cavalon remained free. After Devona and her men smashed the tribes of the luxons to get the spear of archemorus, the luxons were left wide open to attack. The kurzicks became the unstoppable power in Cantha, but still Cavalon, the luxon capital, refused to fall. "Hang on." I recalled something. I sat up. "We need to go to see the zu Heltzers as soon as possible." Then a wave of nausea hit me, i turned and vomitted. "Damn. What did he do to me?" "We don't know. Talon reckons we should kill you, you know. He wants to stop shinra getting whatever it is that is inside of you." I nodded. "Why does he want the affliction to return?" Only Shiro had the power, because he was a envoy, to control the afflicted. Could the scepter of Orr be used to control them too? So i would act as the carrier, the would spread out the plague once again. But to what end? "Wait, isnt this the border between realms?" Jessica nodded. "I need to summon a spirit then." I talked my idea through with Devona, she listened quietly, and i could see the grief in her eyes. She agreed with me and took me to Kormir, the new goddess. Kormir listened, and directed me to a room which she sealed behind me. And there he was. Panaku, in an ethereal form. "Kaeyl" (pronounced as Kale) He said when he saw me. A smile stretched across his lips and he stepped forward and kissed me. It was funny, i didnt even really know anything about sex, or gay and straight for that matter, but all i knew was that when he kissed me i felt wonderful, and it felt right. Reluctantly i pushed him away. "You need to tell me what's going on, Everythings a mess." A pain stabbed through my chest, and i fell to my knees, gasping. "Kaeyl!" Panaku knelt beside me. "Im fine" i said, gasping for breath. It was happening occasionally, ever since Shinra had used the scepter on me. "No. You're not, Shinra took away your power, leaving you vulnerable to the affliction. It's taking every fibre of your being not to turn into an afflicted. It wouldn't take much as it stands. You may be able to wield power, but right now, you're as fragile as glass." I nodded. I'd never been weak before. I'd always wondered how it would feel. It felt...Scary, like now that i was vulnerable the predator would come and strike me, the prey, down. Panaku pulled me against him. "Oh Kaeyl." He held me. And i nestled into his arms, against his chest, like here the predator couldn't find me, it felt like i was safe. I hadn't been taught about love, never known what it really was or how it felt, but if how i felt about Panaku could be described as anything, then i would like to use the word love, even if it wasnt what it really was. " You know Kaeyl. I was there, when they first brought you to the monastery. I helped raise you, and i thought i loved you, like a father, or a brother. But i realised too late, that i love you, becuase you're the one who made me happy, you're the love of my life, and death." he added with a chuckle. I nodded into his chest. "I think, i feel, i hope... ." I shook my head. i couldn't say it. so i just clutched myself to him. "Im sorry, but i need to know, and then i have to leave, i have to stop Shinra." Panaku nodded. "Shinra has been using the scepter to try and raise an army. After Devona defeated the undead lich and his titan army he realised that the titans wernt strong enough. Neither were his own father's afflicted. Devona and her men bested them all. And then when she and her friends defeated an old god and appointed a new one, Shinra had an idea. He wanted vengance, but now he also wants to be a god. And become sole ruler of all the great continents. He hopes, with the combination of the scepter of Orr, the titans and the afflction he can create a master army. Then he could challenge Everyone, even Kormir. But Kormir and Devona are heroes to all the lands, and so Shinra arranged that all the lands would be on their knees so unable to come to their assistance right when they need it the most. He approached the charr and told them he would stop the power of resurrection if they would invade tyria. He told the same to palawa Joko. Both lands are now in ruin. Cantha remains relatively untouched, although Shinra has raised a guild there and is raging mini wars on the streets." "Thank you." I began to stand but Panaku grabbed my arm. "I have one last lesson to teach you, something i may never get the chance to do if i let you go now. Something i should've done when i lived." He pulled, and i fell on top of him, between his legs. His cock was hard, and as it pressed up against mine i felt mine become hard. "Panaku? what-?" He shushed me, and kissed me, but this time he slid his tongue between my lips. My hand suddenly had the mad urge to go underneath the vest of his assassin's suit. I decided it would be okay, and let my hand wander of Panaku's chest, feeling the defined, toned muscles. Panaku pulled away. I pulled my hand away. "I'm sorry." I said, looking away. Panaku chuckled. "Don't be. You can touch me. It's just you know what we're doing, don't you?" I shook my head. "There's something called sex, you can do it with the person you love most in the world, but only if they want to too. Do you want to?" I nodded. Panaku smiled and pulled me back into a deep kiss. This time his tongue feverishly roamed around my mouth, i gently played with his tongue with my own, enjoying the sensation. His hands roamed around my bare chest, his touch sent quivers down my body, shaking me with excitement. He smiled. "One second" He shadow stepped out of his clothes and stood before me. His fully, well hung cock pointed straight at me. "Suck me" He said. I nodded, and put my mouth around the end of his dick. he caught his breath there. A hand went to my head and gently pushed me forward. I allowed it, and felt more and more of his cock enter my mouth, and then into my throat. I began to gag, but he continued. His breathing became rapid "Yess. OH ... Suck me Kaeyl.". Only at the last moment did i pull back and gasp for air, then quickly went back to where i was. His other hand went to my head and he gently began to hump my face. But his passion and lust consumed him, and soon he was face fucking me like a stallion, forcing himself down into my throat as far as he could go before pulling out again. Then i felt a pain as he shadow stepped again and i felt my ass stretch as an invader suddenly appeared inside me. I grunted in pain, but something bit down on my neck, which helped lessen the pain somehow. I felt Panaku ram inside me, he was totally lost now, and only the fuck was there to him. But the pain was gone in short order, and each time he bottomed out a flourish of ecstasy rippled through me. The sounds of skin upon skin echoed around the chamber. I didn't realise when i'd started moaning, or when Panaku had started to for that matter. I came long before Panaku did, spurts of cum flew into the air, which Panaku caught with lightning speed, and licked clean off of his hand. He continued pounding himself into me, with a new vigour. But eventually even Panaku succumbed to the lasting fuck, and with a loud groan he emptied his seed into me. Panaku thrusted a few more times before shadow stepping back into his clothes, and putting mine back on me. He helped me to my feet and kissed me deeply again. "And by the way." He kissed me again. "I'm coming with you."
