Open RPG-The Lost

[Laedra]

Laedra blushed as what the wounded man was saying registered in her brain. He thought she was an angel! Laedra was deeply flattered, but all the same, she was glad the two were on her back and could not see her flaming red cheeks.

Squaring her shoulders, Laedra gave an almighty heave and flew unsteadily upwards. Panting with the effort of carrying over twice her own body weight, she struggled against the wind to carry the two further up the moutains, to a rocky clearing well away from the dangeruos-looking wolf. The air was thankfully clear, with no clouds or wind to make the journey more difficult, and Laedra was still able to enjoy the painful flight a little.

Feeling her limbs tremble, she deposited the two down on the rocks.
"Are - are you OK?" She panted, stretching out her limbs.

[Father Luca]

"He told me this staff would heal him but I can't seem to make it work." he told her, "Let's see he told me to concentrate, I'm a Priest I should be able to do that," he said sarcastically, his sarcasm came out when he was nervous. He closed his eyes and pointed the staff at Cody, the staff began to glow, it shot a yellow ray at his leg and the cut stopped bleeding, it was still red and looked a bit infected but he stopped losing blood and was out of danger. "Sorry, no angels today." he said lightheartedly, "other than this one right here that is, thank you." he said to Laedra

[theprophet]

Cody smiled as he lay back on the rocky stoop. He gripped the Staff of Healing. He then began to concentrate. Suddenly lighten flashed and almost a billion little lights like fireflys began to circle all three of them. Then without warning the rushed like a burning inferno into Cody's chest and into the staff.
Cody roared, the burning sensation was unreal. He looked down at his leg as he watched the flesh begin to mend itself, he watched the blood dry. He quickly became aware that he was no longer exhausted and felt entirely refreshed. He stood on his leg looking around. Then he turned to Father Luca, and the angel.
"Thank you." Cody smiled brushing his white hair out of the way of baby blue eyes.

[theprophet]

oopps

[Father Luca]

Father Luca nodded in response. "I was praying nice and peacefully and you drag me into this mess." he said sarcastically while laughing.

[theprophet]

Cody grinned.
"Well, Father when you meet Cody Evans its always a adventure."
Cody looks up at the sun breaking through the storm clouds.
He looks down at the staff, then at Father Luca.
"Maybe you should present this to the King, Father."

[Father Luca]

"No, it was your idea and your quest, I just got caught up in the middle or I was meant to get caught in the middle, either way, it is yours to give."

[theprophet]

"Well thank you Father, you are a honorable man. But I think we present it together to the King, I couldn't have done it without you."

[Father Luca]

"If you wish," he agreed humbly, it's funny, all this anquish they've gone through has made two strangers friends, "We still have much to tell eachother, I have questions and I'm sure you do as well." he continued, "Come one let's go to the King," he said, "Mi'Lady I thank you for your kindness you have saved both our lives and I am in debt to you, if ever you need anything please find me, I am a Priest, my name is Luca Chiaro." he told her gave her a bow as he had grown accustomed to that in the east and turned and headed toward the palace, his long hair and cassock blowing in the wind, knowing that Cody would not be far behind.

[theprophet]

"And my name is Cody Evans, Last Son of the Colossus. It was nice to meet you Angel." Cody is still evidently wozy, his body has still yet to compensate for all the lost blood, not to mention the exhaustion from him using his abilities. He turns to the father,
"So where do we go from here?"

[Father Luca]

"The Palace I suppose, we didn't go through all that to not give it to him right?" he said lightheartedly, and continued to walk.

[theprophet]

Cody smiled at the Father,
"True, Father, true, we just have to stop at the cave at the end of the mountain path to pick up my armour." Cody continues walking down the path alongside of the Father Luca.

[Father Luca]

"Alright," he agreed walking down the mountain path, "Armor, that couldn't possibly have been necessary." The Priest laughed

[theprophet]

"Surely you jest!" Cody laughed happily, as they treked down to the cave and he put on his armour. The armour fit him like a second skin. Its heavyness brought him a satisfaction like a child holding a blanket.
"So Father, tell me why have you come to the Golden Lands? And where did you learn to fight so...gracefully." Cody asked.

[Father Luca]

"After I left the seminary, I chose to never settle in one church, instead I wanted to act as a spiritual guide to everyone God put in my path," he began, "So I decided to travel the world, presently my travels have brought me here." he answered. "As for my fighting," he laughed, "When I was in the seminary, I took a leave of absence for a while and wanted to get to know the world and explore myself and the world around me, I headed east, to China, where I lived for a long while, I lived and learned with a master and his students of what us known as Kung Fu, Internal Kung Fu to be more specific, is the style I use." he continued, "There I also learned herbal medicine." he continued, "Through Kung Fu, I have learned a way to maintain peace in a hostile situation without resorting to excessive violence." he said, "I returned to the seminary with a newfound dedication and graduated. A month after I graduated I was ordained and began to travel the world." he concluded, "Not what you'd expect from a Priest huh?" he asked light heartedly

[theprophet]

Cody was fasnicated by the tale. It brought back thoughts of his homeland. Cody smiled as he adjusted his armour and locked it into place.
"Well, Father certaintly not what I would except from a Priest in this world." He chuckled.

[Father Luca]

He laughed. He, without thinkng, scratched his arm, which slightly lifted up his sleeve and revealed one of the symbols tattooed on his arms. "What about yourself Cody, I am sure the stories you have to tell are quite interesting as well." he told him, "The origin of your mysterious glowing hands for example." said the Priest.

[theprophet]

Cody smiled, he knew eventually he would be asked about that.
"Father all my people have this...gift. Someone once told me that my hands were to be the last of kind. I was six when he told that and I never believed him. I couldn't imagine our people losing to Thern and Rael." Cody's eyes grow distant.
"My hands glow because of my ablilties. My hands are what draw in the natural energies around me and then into my veins."

[Father Luca]

The Priest nodded his head, "I knew I would not be dissapointed, very interesting." he said. "Please, I noticed your hesitance, what you have is a gift, use it responsibly and it will always be one." he told him kindly. They neared the palace, "Looks like we've arrived." he said looking at the palce, "It looks quite busy."
((I think we can continue in the Castle, you can go ahead and post.))
