The True Face Of Darkness (RP) [Private RolePlay]

Ok so were going to start this RP with Marcus and Melody in there new home. Quite some time has past since the incident happened. And we will find out the rest as we go through the RP =]

"Welcome home my lord" "Thank you Tinaki" Marcus said as he nodded to his personal bodyguard. Marcus had been out organising an army, that he and his sister would lead to take revenge on the light.

"Has our supper been prepared Tinaki?" Marcus asked looking over some ranking lists he had been given just that day. "Yes my lord it is ready and waiting" Tinaki answered while removing his masters armour. "And were is Melody?" Marcus asked putting down the papers. "Im uncertain my lord". " I am sure she will meet us for supper" Marcus said as he headed for the dinning area.

 

Marcus had made his way to the dining area. As he arrived he removed his sword from his belt and placed it on a stand that he had carved himself and placed under the window were the rays of the moon bounced of the shimmering blue blade giving it a somewhat beautiful appearance. Marcus spent several moments admiring the blade. He had retrieved it from his fathers dying side the day that they had been attacked.

He knew the blade should be associated with respect for his diciest father, but Marcus could only associate the blade with a promise he had made to himself and his father. The promise to protect his sister no matter what. After Marcus and Melody had first escaped, Marcus had become a little eccentric, not trusting anyone to care for his sister but himself. When Marcus and Melody were first found his fathers men tried to separate them for there own safety. I say tried because when Marcus realized what they were trying to do he knocked out his guard and charged at the men surrounding his sister. Before any of them could react Marcus had knocked two of the guards to the ground and was now fighting back to back with his sister. With each fluid movement that Marcus and Melody made another guard was sent flying to the ground or knock unconscious. As the guards got more and more agitated they began fighting back. Some drew weapons. A flashback of what had happened not days earlier flash through Marcus's mind. It was the exact same situation, only this time there father would not brake through a door and sacrifice himself to save them.

Marcus was suddenly brought back to reality when he heard a door behind him open. Marcus turned to see a group of works walk in, bow to him and prepare the table. Over all the noise Marcus could hear the faint sound of footsteps approaching. Marcus smiled as he recognized the impatient and excited but as always graceful footsteps.

 

"My apologies" Marcus said returning his sisters smile. "I'll try not to let it happen again" he finished with a joking look in his eyes.

Marcus then gave his sister a hug. The servants who were preparing the table and the supper gave Marcus that could only be described as filthy. In the dark realm showing any sign of affection was seen as a sign of weakness. Marcus was secure enough to know that he was stronger than any dark being alive save it be his sister.

"I see you have been practising again today" Marcus said putting Melody an arms length away and noticing the dust that had transferred from Melody's clothes to his.

 

Marcus and Melody sat at the table together and as always Marcus waited for Melody to serve herself before he took up his plate. After Melody had served herself and sat down Marcus served himself a generious helping.
Sitting down he looked at Melody, the two smiled at each other and then began eating.

* * * * * * * *

Dinner went by without a hitch. Marcus told Melody of the problem he was having organising the soliders into ranks as some of the races 'disagreed' with each other. Melody then told him of how she spent most of the day on the roof practising. Marcus laughed " I guess I have things pretty organised" he said as the servants returned to clean the table.

There were sudden footstepts that could be heard approching from the hallway. Two sets Marcus deducted. "I wonder whats happening now" Marcus said to Melody with joke still in his voice.

"Sire?!" The two guards said in unison as the charged in the doorway. "Sire they are attacking?" The bigger guard said to him catching his breath. Marcus's face suddenly grew serious.

"Who is attacking!?" He demanded as he took no hesitation in getting his sword and placing it on his belt.

"The light sire, they attacked without warning"

"Im sorry Melody, I must handle this, wait in the house for my return" Marcus said as he hugged her and began to head for the door.

Marcus could see the displeasure in his sisters face and knew that if he stayed longer he would end up giving into one of her wishes.

"How many of them?" Marcus asked as they were outside the hearing of the rest of the household.

"There seems to be a army of them sire" The older guard said.

"They shall pay for disruping my time with Melody" Marcus said

 

The guards that were with Marcus jumped when Meldoy suddenly appeared beside him. Marcus knew that his sister would not stand aside while he went off to fight.

Marcus was about to protest when he saw the look on his sisters face. It was the look that said, you may have valid points but I don't care and am coming with you look. Or at least thats how Marcus saw it.

"Very well" Marcus said with a sigh, "Just be careful out there"

"Sire the town is up ahead" The gurad informed him as they approched a cliff of sorts that over looked the town that Marcus had been working in earlier that day.

"They should know better than to attack us in our own country" a soilder snarled as he looked down on the attacking forces.

"That didn't stop them all those years ago, did it" Marcus said cassually. "Ill see you down there Melody, the rest of you stand by unless instruced to do otherwise. We can't affored any casualties if we have any hope of claiming revenge on the light."

And with that he was gone. Marcus had made a general caculation of how many soliders there were. He counted over thirty normal class soilders and two heros. Deciding it would be eaiser to clear out the soilders before attacking the high ranking heros Marcus made his way to the town center. When he arrived he saw sevral towns people lying in pools of blood.

"Disgusting creatures" Marcus said as he looked at the humans handy work. Just then Marcus heard a small yelp, and the sound of laughing soilders. Marcus walked into a house thats door had been broken down. There he saw two Werewolfs dead. When he entered the next room in the far coner there was a group of soilders standing in a semi circul pinning something into the corner.

"Look at it squirm!" One of the soilders burst out in a load voice. Marcus realized it was the young werewolf cub.

"Lets be rid of it before it can grow to full size and reek havic upon our nations" another soilders said raising his blade high into the air. Marcus had his blade in hand within a second.

"Your kind disgust me" Marcus said as he pulled his blade out of the soilder. The soilders blade fell from his hands hitting the floor with a clang. Before the other soilders had a chance to react Marcus had already returned his blade to his belt. Marcus gave the wolf cub a reassuring pet, head towards the mountins, the villigers are there" He said heading out again.

"Five down, Twenty seven to go"

 

Marcus was taken by surprise when his sisters arrow flew inches away from head. He was greatful for it when he saw it pirce another arrow that was flying towards him that if it had hit him may have been fatal.
After the arrow had missed him guards filed out into the street surronding Marcus. "Hmph, there are more of you than I estimated. Although i suppose you would need an army of this size if your stupid enough to attack the Prince of Darkness" Marcus said readying his blade.

"Come, If your brave enough"

Agitated by Marcus's taunt a big soilder charged towards him, spear aimed directly at his heart. Marcus simply spun on his foot and sidesteped the spear slahing at the soilders stomach as he ran past him. The soilder caught his footing.

"Hahahaha" The soilder began laughing. "You missed!!" He taunted.

"Did I?" Marcus asked in a mocking tone. Blood suddenly spurted from the soilders chest. Marcus's sword had cut cleanly through his armour and cleanly cut through his heart. The soilder suddenly collapsed. "Anyone else care to try?" Marcus said with coldness in his eyes.

Marcus never enjoyed nor saw reason for killing. And although he still doesn't enjoy it, he now has a reason. And that reason being partilly revenge for his murdered parents. But mainly so his sister could live in a world of peace and never fear for her life.

A soilder seeing that marcus was distracted decided it would be the best time to attack. He ran at Marcus as another soilder ran at him from the back. They got so close to him that they thought they had him. Spears aimed at him running full speed. Marcus once again side stepped, this time letting the soilders hit each other with there own weapons. The soilders fell from the impact of the blows.

"My apologies" Marcus said looking at the guard standing in front of him. "My mind wandered off"

"Attack!!" Another soilder shouted as he drew his sword and rose it high in the air. Marcus heard the sudden twang of a bow and the clean sailing of an arrow through the air. Looking up he saw the arrow heading for a roof top.

"Melody!" Marcus said as he saw his sister on the roof with her sword stuck through a mans chest. Marcus ran towards a soilder who was taken by surprise at his sudden movement. The soilder swung at him. Marcus easily dodged the attack by ducking under it. He stood up litereally an inch from the man's face. "You don't mind do you?" Marcus said with mock in his voice. Without waiting for an answer Marcus grabbed the man by the neck with his hand, spun around once gaining momentem and threw the man into the arrows path. If the arrow hadn't killed the man the fall certainly would.

"I grow tired of this" Marcus said to himself, "Come at me now!, All at once" He said raising his voice. "Its the only way you will ever stand even a minesquel of a chance against me"

The soilders took his advice and charged him as one.

 

Marcus watched as his sister was grabed by the hair and attack, and then how she killed two of the guards. "Fillthy humans!" Marcus said "No honor!". Hearing a sudden yell Marcus turned just in time to see an sword flying towards his head. "Pfft" Macus said as he effortlessly lifted his sword to block his attacker.

There was a sudden shap pain running through the mid section Marcus's body. Marcus look at his side and saw that the tip of a javalin had pirced just under his ribs. Looking at the attcker Marcus saw a soilder wearing all black. "You weren't there before!?" Marucs said as he turned his body, forcing the javalin out and Marcus ignoring the soilder with the sword turned to face the new arrival.

There was another jolt of pain in Marcus's body. This time an arrow hit him in the shoulder. Marcus turned to see another man dressed in all black. It may have been wise to wear my entire armour Marcus thought to himself as he pulled the arrow from his shoulder. "These guys seem to be coming out of thin air" Marcus said aloud. "Melody!, There's a mage around, he's teleporting more soilders. We need to take care of him!" Marcus shouted to her.

Time to get serious

 

Marcus was grateful that his sister was using magic to aid him, but he knew that if she used it to much it would do her damage. What was that? Marcus thought to himself. He then realized that whenever Melody used magic he could feel it. It sounds odd but when ever his sister used magic to turn a soldiers weapon to a lethal animal he felt a sort of tugging sensation in the back of his mind.

My magic is reacting to hers He thought as he struck down an enemy with his sword. Just then more soldiers appeared. "I wonder" Marcus said as he dodged two attacking soldiers. Marcus then unleashed a flurry of attacks striking down an enemy with each stroke until he was left alone in the court yard.

The mage would have to use a considerable amount of magic to send enough soldiers to keep Marcus busy. Marcus let his sword hang by his side. He closed his eyes and began to search with his mind. Marcus could feel the mage chant his transportation spell, all he needed was for the soldiers appear. Moments later they appeared. Marcus opened his eyes, brought his sword up so his hand was at his chest and the blade was in front of his face.

"Found you!"

Marcus dissapeared. "Hello there" Marcus said as he stood face to face with the mage. He was dressed in all black like the soldiers he summoned. "Nice tacit" Marcus said to the mage who was taken by surprise "You had me fooled with those mortal soldiers at the beginning, If it wasn't for my sister I think it would have taken me alot longer to figure out the other soldiers weren't human." Marcus said with a grin on his face. The mage obviously knew he was greatly outmatched because he didn't try to fight.

"Now then" Marcus said pointing his blade at the mage's throat."Who are you working for and why did you attack my village?"

The mage seemed to recover from the shock of Marcus suddenly appearing. "Why?" The mage said straitening himself "Why do we attack your village?.Your evil!. If we didn't attack you and yours you would grow strong and attack us!"

Marcus was abit taken back by the anger in the man's voice. "Us attack you?!. We fight you because you attack out kind without question and unprovoked!"

"Unprovoked?!. You monsters attack out villages, kill our men and enslave our women and children!"

"Iv heard quite enough from you!" Marcus said and with that he thrust his sword through the man's chest giving him and instant death.

Marcus warped back to the square to see that when the mage ceased to exist, so did the soldiers he had summoned.

"Melody? Were are you?" Marcus called looking for his sister.

 

Marcus looked at his sister, he was abit shocked that she seemed so serious. He hadn't seen her like this in years. He understood however that it was a serious matter. He was also looking if his sister had any wounds. He looked at her shoulder and saw the scar in her armour were the man had slashed at her.

Thank the heavens for armour He thought to himself. He then remembered that he hadn't worn any. In his hast to defeat the attackers he hadn't put it on. Looking at the places he had been stabbed he was grateful for the ability that he and his sister shared. Were his wounds once were there was red lines, that traced the area that the blades had penetrated him.

"I have much to tell you" Marcus said to his sister brining his attention back to the matter at hand. "Walk with me" he said as creatures and demons came to clean up there homes. They had walked out of town and into a forest before Marcus said anything. "What the mage said, about our kind kidnapping there women and children and killing there men. Its true, but before you jump to conclusions let me explain. The creatures who do it may be from the darkness, but they are not doing it under our orders. They claim to be doing under the name of the King of Darkness."

Marcus saw his sisters eyes widen. He could hear the question she wanted to ask without her saying it aloud. "Im not sure if its father." He said "There are rumours going about that father survived that day but was gravely weakened. Some of his men who had survived the attack arrived at the home and brought him to safety. Iv sent some scouts out to investigate the claims but so far none have returned."

Marcus was no longer able to read the expression on Melody's face.

"Are you going to be alright?"

 

"Well...." Marcus took a long moment before continuing. He was thinking how to put it so that his sister wouldn't be to upset with him. "Well I believe he has tried to contact you before. We have often captured someone trying to break into the mansion during the dark hours of the night. And when I would question them they would say 'The message is not for you' then commit suicide.

"Now before you say anything, I didn't tell you because I didn't want to give you false hope. And if it is father what he's doing is wrong. And we must put an end to it. I was planing on taking a small force of my strongest men and going in search of them."

Marcus was interrupted by a rustling in the bush behind them. He drew his sword and readied himself for anything and he saw Melody do the same.

"Sir!, Sir were are you?!"

"Tinaki?" Marcus said lowering his sword.

"My lord! Thank heavens I found you!"

"Whats wrong" Marcus asked

"There attacking again sir. And there's a Hero with them!"
