Roleplaying

Glacia slid down the icy slope with her two little brothers, Snow and Icicle, giggling behind her. Ever since father had died, mother had not been the same. When she used to be strong a confident, her will became weak and she rarely ever ate. Most of the time, Uncle Tundra looked after her and tried to nurse her health into something stable in the cave while Glacia was left to entertain two extremely exicetable young serpents. 

"Glacia onee-chan, can we go to the glacier???" Glacia scowled. Mother's last words before she had fallen ill was exactly not to bring Snow and Icicle to the glacier. Since then, it had been all that they had wanted to do. It took all of her effort just to keep them away from it.

"For the last time, Snow, we can't. Mama forbid it because it's dangerous!"

"Why?" said Icicle. It seemed to be the only thing he said.

"Because..." Glacia thought about it for a second. Probably because they would slide down an ice crevasse, thinking it was a snow hill. Not that telling them that would stop them. The young snow serpent had only been there once or twice, and that was only because food was running low. She still had nightmares of the place; eerie silcence and reflective ice that made it look like an army of serpents was around you. And if you weren't careful where you slithered, then you could easily slip down into one of the many hidden cracks all around. That had been the way her father had died. "Because papa died there. And because there are yetiis" She said as an after thought, hoping to intimidate the two eager young snakes.

If anything, they seemed more excited. "Can we go see where papa died, then?" Glacia almost gasped. The little fools!

"Of course not, it's dangerous, you stupid little bakas! How else could papa die?!" She scowled down at them. Although she would never admit out loud, Glacia was rather fond of the little buggers. And if anything ever tried to harm them, she would tear them limb from limb.

All of a sudden, Glacia heard a loud noise from somewhere nearbye. STOMP, CRUNCH, STOMP CRUNCH! She looked around in alarm and whispered, "get down!" from the desperation in her voice, her brothers obeyed immediatly, shoving their snouts in the snow and instantly camelflouging with the snow texture. Glacia did the same.

Then, a large dark shadow loomed from behind a tree. Glacia's eyes widened in alarm. What is that?!, She thought in alarm.

Fuego stood on the edge of a cliff with his wings outstretched, warming himself in the sun's rays. His red scales glistened in the sunlight. He had a perfect life: no other dragons to invade his territory for miles, plenty of prey. The only problem was the assassination of King Ballard and the Gem of Ragnaid being stolen. He was sure that who-or what-decided to kill the king and steal was a human or a bear. Humans always steal treasures, although they almost never keep them. On the other hand, phoenixes and bears were enemies, so the assassin was probably bear. But what would a bear want with an old relic? Fuego thought. Unless...He heard stories that the Gem could destroy an entire island. If the bears did steal the Gem, then they could destroy Arisa, and all the phoenixes with it!

Hunger grew in Fuego's stomach. He couldn't think when he was hungry. He would only be able to think about cows and meat. He flew off in search of food. It didn't take too long; there was a herd of deer right below him. As he ate, he wondered what the person who stole the Gem would do with it. If it was in the wrong hands, it could mean the end of the world.

Glacia froze in terror as the hulking shape of a yeti stomped out from behind the shadow of a pine tree. The great white creature sniffed its soft brown nose and moved along. She was still holding her breath when it trudged out of sight. Yetiis were known for their great strength and appetite. Out of most of the creatures in Kirelu, Yetiis were the most vicious and only creatures that had no alliances. They were rare and had a very small population, as babies or even mates were often eaten on sight. Males were the most aggresive, as well as territorial. If they weren't hungry after making a kill, then they would leave it to rot in a cave for a few day beofre eating. You could tell a male from a long, dark grey stripe down their heavy silver fur, and they were often much larger than females. The yeti was a male.

Glacia looked down at her two little brothers and realized that they were still staring towards where the yeti had dissapeared.

"Are you guys okay?" She asked, waving her tail in front of their eyes. Neither blinked. "The yeti is gone now, it was probably just passing through, looking for territory or something." 

"Moma..." Icicle said breathlessly, his teal eyes wide with horror. Glacia was startled.

"W-what? Oh..." Then she realized what her brother had meant.

The yeti was heading strait for their home. 

"MAMA!" Snow yelled, his pale blue eyes livid with fear over losing a loved one.

"Shush, Snow! It will be all right, I promise! Uncle is there and the yeti is dumb and easily confused, ok?" Snow nodded shakily. "You too stay here and I'll make sure that it doesn't harm a hair on Mama's mane, got it?"

Icicle wasn't convinced. "But what if you get hurt?" He said quietly.

Glacia was shaking inside, but she put on a brave front for her brothers's sake. "Nah, I mean the King's royal guards probably have to face things like this everyday. If I ever want to be a guard I'll have to face and get used to this kind of stuff."

"But-" Before Icicle finished his sentence, Glacia slithered off as fast as she could. Before I change my mind, She thought. When she reached the beginning of the mountian slope, she heard a pained screech. 

"MOM!!!" Glacia yelled.

Arisa:

Land of the Phoenix. The great king Ballard was killed by a mystery assasin at the fireworks festival that the humans put on every year.

Also known as land of ashes for its trades in coal mines, spices and paper. The phoenix palace is located atop one of the three volcanoes at the edge of Thiru. Mostly pine forests and patches of desert and deep coal ravines and mines. rocky, mountanious terrain.

 

Thiru:

 

Land of the Mermaids. Mostly ocean, with one large jungle island in the middle. The queen mermaid, Queen Shimmer, has not yet heard of the phoenix king's passing from her underwater palace, but has noticed that lately the trades have not been coming in from Arisa...

this is the smallest territory

Mermaids love humans as people and will protect them with their lives. The humans live in great peace there. Mermaids can talk with animals, breath underwater and take the form of a human, though the form will be permanent if they stay on land for a day. They can also control water somewhat.

 

Kirelu:

The Land of the Bears. A huge arctic ice plain taking up most of the land and is the largest territory. Mostly ice dragons, snow serpents and yetis as well giant bears. Even if the creatures there weren't hostile to humans, very little settlements would be on the treachorous ice, however the few creatures that survive there normally only attack if attacked, unless their hungry and you look like prey. The king is King Ursilhym. The bears and phoenixes are mortal enemies.

 

For a long time, the world has been at peace. Now, the king of the phoenixes has been assasinated, and by who, nobody knows. Also, the sacred and powerful gem of Ragnaid has been stolen from the Phoenix treasury. The stone is said to be strong enough to destroy a whole island, but it destroys its masters mind in the process- unless they are able to withstand it. Now, creatures, humans and animals alike are uprising in the search for the owner of this jewel- and the possible assasin of the king. While the rest of the country is in turmoil and upheavel, the phoenixes are franticly searching for the lost heirs to the king's throne...

Phoenixes:

The leaders of Arisa, the land that harbours almost as many mythical creatures and humans in its land as the palace of phoenixes themselves. They have healing powers, somewhat like humans, can breath fire, are immortal and their size ranges from a pelican to an elephant. they can also change shape as long as they have touched the animal they want to become.

Humans:

The possibly lowliest, most overpoplated species in any land. However, some have been known to grow up with mythical beings and are said to have incredible powers. Others like to keep them as pets, very few eat them, but mostly they are left alone. Some of the braver, rarer ones however, have been known to go to war with mythical beings.

 

 

Goes along with RP, though the phoenix king just died and the Ragnaid jewel was stolen.
