no time for avatars... maybe consider makin avs for the newbs in the quest? And the one I asked you about a while ago? (I know I'm being a pain, but what can you do?)
IC--Drask shook his head that he'd been taken in by these false warrior-golems. He sought out the puppetmaster, instead. There was none immediately present, no one to say 'pay no attention to the daemon behind the curtain'. He pressed on with vAldiCi at his side, waving for the rest of the WarAngels to follow. They continued through a set of wrought-iron gates, each pole barbed with a fleur-de-lys on the top. They continued through the gates and down into the halls of the mountain (OOC--think Moria). Things were no longer black and white much under the surface, they became a rather murky and disturbing shade of grey.

Drask led them until they came to a fork in the tunnel, one leading down into what would have, on the surface been the black sand side of the mountain, the other of which would have been beneath the white sand. One was labelled 'Power', the other 'Control'. The tunnel incribed with the word Control had tracks leading in. The other had tracks leading out. It was a quandry, for Drask could sense that both led to artifacts of great power, but he also knew from the rest of the runic inscriptions that these were merely tunnels to set the path to an end.

'We face a choice. Choose.'

OOC--think about the labels, and what we've gotta do and choose.

******************
Truth is often more than just facts.

IC:
'Power' and 'Control'. Two paths, each leading to an end. The same end? Or perhaps not? It is not likely the AtW will find out unless they take the paths.

Eagle pondered, "Power without control is useless. Nor is control possible without power...

"How about we split into two groups? Those who has a better feeling about the Tunnel of Power, or the Tunnel of Control, should go that way. We are not sure which one is the right path, and in a situation as desperate as the one we're facing, we cannot afford to pick the wrong one. Perhaps these path ultimately lead to the same end? Who knows. So I propose we split into 2 parties and hurry on our way."

The plan was agreed, and each picked their own path.

"Control."

OOC:
so i guess ppl take their pick....i won't worry about having an even number in each of the two groups or anything... Ah...the good old days of dual threads lol

OOC: I am dead.....

IC: Power.... The word reverberated through Di'Ethe inner being. It lured the dark elf towards his dark past. His memories of what the lust for power had caused him and his race. Pushing aside his guilt and anguish he turned to face the other tunnel.

Control......

Death need not be the end of all things, Hopelessness is worse than death ever will be. Learn to survive through hopelessness and death will hold for you no fear.

IC - The choice seemed Obvious for Xandim. He felt a need to show how powerful he was and that although he was a human, and young, he could still compete with the elder members of the AtW. He changed into his cat form and padded way down the path

Power....

OOC- pikachu i chose u~

IC- vAldiCi hmmed and hummed, his eyelide closing over his eyes like so much eyelid rubble, and then he said to himself, i see the path in the truest sense of the word
and he made da decision in his mind to take the path of power and readied himself to be powarful

OOC- leet wordage

OOC-Great. note sarcasm

IC-Choir shifted her glance between the two paths. Power? Control? Which to chose...? She weighed the two in her mind. Power had corrupted her family. However, she had run off because she was sick of being controlled. She feared that if she shoce power, she would become the horrible monsters that her parents had. She would not impose her choice on Tarisse. Quietly, she slipped to the side of the path labled 'Control.'
*****************************************************

There have been days when wariness kept me from recognizing a broken heart or when fear kept me from seeing a shattered soul.

Vilset pondered the two options which lay before him. Power can be used to force Control. Control can be used to win Power. Both options were enticing. He chose the path with the lable he needed most right here and now.

Power...

^^V^^

OCC-I'm back...yep landed today at 2 pm. And tomorrow I will return to school. And die a slow and painful death. Anyways...Let's see how this turns out.

IC-
Power. Control. Power. Control.
Tarisse closed her eyes and faded into the darkness.
Whispers. Voices in the shadows. Before me stand two doors. Unknown. The end comes eventually. But when and where is not known to even the wisest. Mirror, Mirror on the wall, tell me which way to fall. Before me stand blurred realities. Only one is real.
Tarisse...The path is yours to choose. The day is yours to seize. Choose wisely, Seize confidently. Worry not about what is to come.
Where am I?
Inside your heart there lies the answer.
Inside? I wish to protect those I care about. I wish to vanquish evil and bring peace to the land. I wish to fight.
Power...

OCC-That was strange. Don't ask me what it means 'cause I don't know myself. I blame jetlag.

Close the world.txen eht nepO
