Adventures part 1
Hello there, my name is Ricky I will be telling you a tale of action and adventure, mystery and magic, swords and shields, technology and tinkering, and of course love and lust. The story starts in a small village in the country of Kukela, the village is or was called Ikistan.
"Marcia, be careful with that box it has Poxy Shards in it!," a young blonde haired Yultan boy called out to the Kuke girl
"Thanks I will," Marcia said, "you don't have to worry Jarret"
Marcia's race is native to the country of Kukela, the females of the Kuke race are the dominate and the providers, they large and muscled and very strong. The males are usually the ones cooking or making baskets, they are also smaller on occasion a male may become as large as a female but most of the time they are considerably smaller. Both males and females are usually grey skinned and have eyes with no whites or pupils that are usually black, grey, yellow, blue, or amber in color.
Jerret's race is native to the Islands of Nulyuka, he personally is from the Island known as Lu-Vana, now the Yultan are technologically advanced race. Most of their technology runs on the fast growing and easy to find crystals known through out the world as Poxy. The Yultan are usually pale of skin and have eyes that are violet, crimson, or emerald in color.
"So where are these going?," a deep sort of depressed sounding voice asked the two of them
"the Burthanim empire capital.," Jarret said with a happy smile
"whatever man.," the voice said
"come on cheer up Urvale.," Marcia said as she set the box down in front of the depressed Maityr, "she'll be back next spring."
"I know but," Urvale sighed, "oh my sweet rose, my sweet Dalila!,"
Maityr's are elemental beings, during certain seasons more of certain types of Maityrs are born. Winter equals more water, and ice Maityrs. Summer equals more fire, dirt, tree, and light Maityrs. Fall equals more darkness, dust, and crystal Maityrs. Spring equals more flower, sun, and moon Maityrs. Urvale is a Moon Maityr, not very powerful they are more romantic and defensive oriented then other Maityrs. Moon Maityr's have a humanoid shape but have no real facial features to speak of, their entire bodies are a light blue color.
"Stop being so dramatic.," Marcia said
Now this is where I come into the picture.
"Hey you three get back to work!," I yelled at the three of them.
I am a Verner a race of mostly monk like people. Though I strayed from the path of Verner Monk I was happy with my life as manager of this Poxy mine. Verners are usually bald from birth till death, they have brown plates that grow from the back of their necks down to their tail bones, and they usually have unusual strength for their size.
"come on Ricky were just having some fun.," Jarret said with a little whine to his voice
"Please Jarret just get back to work, those crystals wont load themselves into boxes!"
"alright, alright I'll get back work.," Jarret said a little annoyed
"S....so boss when do we strike the village and take the crystals?"
"Soon, very soon I hope," a deep bloodlust filled voice said, "Please boss let me feel my claws rip into their flesh, let my tongue taste the tanginess of their blood, let me hear them screa......"
SMACK!!!
The so called bosses hand made contact with the others face in a not so gentle manner, "that's enough of that Mauler."
Mauler rubbed his cheek thinking this is no way for a Leyna warrior treated but he made no return attack for he knew his boss was way more powerful then him.
"as for when my short Cethra friend ," the boss said with smirk, "tomorrow at dawn we strike.
A Leyna is a big creature created by magic and fortified by technology. Although powerful they require a strong hand to keep their insanity and bloodlust in check. Depending on what they were created for their looks differ. Mauler was created as a warrior so he looks like a werewolf with robotic legs and a shoulder mounted chain gun.
The Cethra stop growing at around the height of three and half feet. Though short and weak they are fast and smart. They can do the most difficult and time consuming jobs in half the time it takes other races to do them in. commonly Cethra have blue or green eyes, they have long spindly fingers, and usually have long snake like tongues.
"are all my boys ready for the assault?," the boss asked
"y...yes sir they are all ready to go back at the camp!," the Cethra said
"good job Gurja.," the boss said, "you two go back to camp and rest up for tomorrow."
"v...very well sir." Gurja said with a nervous smile
The boss stood there his glowing red eyes watching the four of us work at our mine then with a smile his eyes moved to the village, "soon the Poxy will be mine and all those pitiful village dwellers will be dead by tomorrow afternoon."
I was suddenly awoken by screams and a explosion., "what the hell is going on!," Suddenly my door and half the front of my house was ripped apart by another explosion and I was tossed out of my bed and thrown out of my bed room window into the alley. I ran out into the street just in time to see a fellow village get gunned down Leyna with a chain gun.
"Ricky, don't just stand there grab a weapon and fight!," I heard Marcia yell as she launched a punch at one of the attackers sending him flying into two more of the attacker knocking them all to the ground.
"I found another one over here!," a attacker said as he drew his long sword he slowly approached me
I smiled and though about how I was happy I stayed a monk long enough to learn their fighting techniques., "Bring it on small fry.," I said as I got into a ready stance. He lunged at me with a diagonal attack and I dodged to the side and launched jab to his throat making him cough and fall to the ground.
I saw Urvale using his Moon Maityr magic to protect the remaining villagers. Jarret was using his Poxy guns to take out some of the attackers. Then I saw the Leyna again and he was charging right at me. I got back into my read stance but I was too late the Leyna was upon me his claws ripping into my flesh, his fangs sinking into my neck and pulling my voice box out in a bloody shower. I died before I hit the ground. As my soul stayed bound to my body I watched as my friends fought. I watched as my body was ripped to pieces by the Leyna.
"Shit Ricky's dead," Jarret said a slight sadness to his voice., "we can't win this fight guys we have to retreat!"
"but this is our home!," Marcia said as she grabbed a attacker and smashed him against a wall crushing his rib cage
"I have to agree Jarret, Marcia, there is no way we can win this on our own we have to leave.," Urvale said as the last of his shields failed and the last villager was killed.
I watched as they retreated leaving our home letting those bastards take our mine. But I didn't blame them they had no way beating them. They ran as fast they could until they were out of my sight.
The attackers cheered and ransacked all the houses and bodies. The Leyna began to feast on the dead as the one who was apparently their boss walked down past me. He looked right at me and smiled his crocodile like smile mocked me. He was Syeer one of the ancient races.
Syeers feed on crystals they can look like any of the races, this just happened to look like a Yultan.
But I recognized this Syeer his name was Vu.
"Hello Ricky," Vu said with a chuckle, "looks like I win."
After about three years the magic bound to the location wore off and I became one with the magic of the planet.
