The Seven Orbs

[KC11]

A lone figure crawled into the house. He cast a wary eye about the place before going up the stairs. It was dark, and everything seemed to be alive. The old paintings of former masters seemed to gaze sullenly at him as he climbed. But he wasn't afraid. He had climbed these stairs for years.

The figure finally got to the top of the stairs. He walked down the hall. It was quiet. Not even the rustling of the wind could be heard.

Slowly, very slowly, he opened a door. He stopped in the doorway, staring into the blackness beyound.

A voice spoke.

"Come in, Rocar." it said. Rocar came in.

A slight light was cast on the figure. It showed him to be a black draconian. He stood taller than a full grown man. His teeth shined like daggers in the slight light. He had no wings.

He bowed to an unseen figure.

"My lord." he said.

"Have you found out more about the orbs?" asked the darkness.

"Yes." said Rocar. "My skeleton dragons think they have a general idea about where the first four are."

"A.... general.... idea?"

"We need more time, my lord." said Rocar, looking up in fear.

"Time.... we have no time.... soon, others are going to find out. There will be quests. Searches. We have to find them before anyone has even heard the word Orb."

"Of course, my lord. We shall work quickly."

There was silence. Then the darkness spoke again.

"Speaking of Time..."

"No. We have not figured out where the Time orb is." said Rocar. "You know it's the hardest to find."

"Indeed." said the darkness. "Which ones have you gotten a general idea about?"

"The four main element ones." said Rocar. "Fire, Water, Earth, and Light."

"Where do you think they are?"

"The skeleton dragons say that the Fire Orb is in the Deserted Desert. The Water Orb is in the Valley of Blight. The Earth Orb is in Draycon Valley. And the Light Orb...."

Rocar stopped and licked his lips. He knew his master wouldn't like this.

"....Is in the possesion of the morphic lightning dragon, KC11."

"WHAT?!" yelled the darkness. A shadow could be seen suddenly moving. "WHY DID YOU NOT STRIKE HER DOWN WHEN YOU DISCOVERED THIS?"

"Master, we tried to, but the troops were twarted by some annoying dracolitch." said Rocar. "Apparently, she set fire to their base camp in Aug' Naughten."

"Demi. Of course." said the shadow. "She and that bengel, Jest, have always made things difficult. No matter. We will get the Light Orb."

"Indeed, my lord." said Rocar.

"You may go." said the shadow.

Rocar bowed. "Yes, Lord Endtooth." he said. And he left.

KC11 was relaxing in her human form. It had been a while since she had done so. What with all this running around and such.

She sighed, and stretched an arm. Things were going well.

Suddenly, her pocket felt very warm. She reached into her pocket and pulled out an orb. Light yellow and fluid gases whirled around in it.

The gases suddenly reached to opposite sides of the orb, and it displayed a scene. It showed a draconian summoning several skeleton dragons in the sky.

"Oh Gai." said KC, stuffing the orb back in her pocket. There was no choice. She had to get the rest of the orbs. She rushed to the library. There was a book she needed to check out urgently.

(This is a sort of quest RP about everyone going off to find the Seven Elemental Orbs before Endtooth gets them. This is set after the RP "A Day in Roia.". So people from Malurine are encouraged. Everyone starts at or around the library, where KC is looking for a book.)

[Draconorn]

((OK, I'll try a different Malurien character to my usual pack of nocturnal angsty guardians XD))

[Ember Lee]

((This is a new character. He's from one of my stories))

Phinoe Rauzaj looked up as KC entered the library, frantically searching for something. Sighing he closed his thick book and pushed his oval glasses up from the end of his nose.
"What's happening this time?" he asked.

[Draconorn]

((No form? OK))

Wink yawned, closing his neon green eyes. It was such a wide yawn that his spiky black hair seemed to wave in the breeze generated. He was a sixteen year old Lombax with light yellow fur and dark brown stripes. "Why am I even in here?" He cried exasperatedly and was getting up to leave when KC11 came in.

[KC11]

KC rushed to the "History" section and began to randomly pull out books. "Scyll. It's gotta be around here. Oh, to Ratch with it." and she began to toss books behind her.

"SSSSHHHHH" said the Librarian.

KC looked at the librarian. "Oh, go stick your head in a pile of Seeacaw dung." she said, and she turned her head back to the books. Demetris, who had been watching with intrest, turng around and gave the librarian a traditional Draygan Valley Moron's Salute.

The librarian was very confused. He had never heard of Draygan Valley, or it's sayings. What were you supposed to say when a dracolitch gave you the fourth finger? He slumped back, very disoriented.

A man sitting at a table nearby looked over at KC.

"Eh." he said. "There goes another crazy blonde, thinkin she can learn about the history of the world. Them idiots."

KC looked at the man. He was hunched over a book titled "Why Men Were Destined to Lead." She gave him a look. It was the kind of look that would wither crops and make giants run to their mothers. The man stared, his mouth open. Then he shut it.

She turned back to her work. She was satisfied with the details of her look. The flames shooting out of her nose had been a nice added touch. But her Ratched eyes refused to turn red, as usual.


"AHA!" she exclaimed. "HERE IT IS!"

She gleefully pulled out a giant thick book. It was titled "Of Populice and Plants." Eagerly, she dragged it over to a table and slammed it down, oblivious to the loud shushing noises by others around her.

"Okay.... Orion.... Orcindas..... Orlily......Orbs!" she exclaimed as she found the page.

[KC11]

(Woops. Forgot to add something. Added.)

[Ember Lee]

Phinoe frowned as he heard this.
"Orbs? What are you looking up orbs for?" he asked walking over to her.

[Draconorn]

Wink squinted at KC11 for a second. "I nkow yu from somewhere... oh, KC11! Hi!"

((Short post ._.))

[KC11]

"Uh, hi." said KC, waving awkardly at Wink. She squinted at her book. Then she groaned.

"Uh, Wink? You don't happen to have a magnifyer on you? Apparently, the author of "Populice and Plants" wanted to include everything about the world, so he wrote in such a short font that no one can read it with the bare eye."

[Draconorn]

Wink stuck his tongue out as he hunted through his pockets. In the end he held up a glass pendant. "Heh, I can melt this into one for you." Without waiting for a reply, he burst into flame and started to reshape the glass.

[KC11]

"Uh..." said KC, but the librarian cut across her.

"NO BURSTING INTO FLAMES IN THE LIBRARY!" he yelled, and he ran over to Wink holding a bucket full of water.

[Draconorn]

Wink squealed. "NOT WATER! YOU'LL KILL ME!" He backed away before returning to normal and handing the new magnifier to KC11. He than started glaring at the librarian balefully. "You're a sack of poo." He stated firmly.

[KC11]

"Uh, Thanks." said KC, taking the magnifyer. She then swipped the bucket out of the librarian's hands and dumped it onto his head.

"If you didn't want people bursting into flames in your library, you probably shouldn't be living here." she said.

She then bent over the book and started to read.

Populice and Plants, page 6001

The Seven Element Orbs

The Seven Element Orbs are said to be the seven most powerful orbs on earth. The seven orbs represent the seven elements, from the major to the semi minor elements. The seven orbs are:

Light
Fire
Water
Earth
Darkness
Insanity
Time

These orbs have eyes everywhere about the earth. So long as you ask polietly, they will show you a person or an object from anywhere on the earth. However, they cannot show you other orbs.

Each orb also has certain powers according to its type.
The light orb sends a blast of light at enemies and can light up in darkness.

The fire orb sends a blast of fire and can serve as a nice place to warm your hands.

The water orb sends a blast of water and can allow you to stay underwater as long as you like.

The earth orb sends a blast of wood and will grow plants wherever it touches barren earth.

The darkness orb sends a blast of darkness and can bring out the dark side of anyone.

The insanity orb makes sane people turn insane.

The Time orb, most powerful of all, can make people go forward or backward in time.

Each of these orbs are hidden about the world. No one knows their exact location. But they are said to be hidden in.......

And then, suddenly, the font became to small to see with a magnifyer. KC groaned.

She walked up to the librarian. "I'd like to check this book out." she said. "Emergency."

"Will do." said the librarian. "Just get out of my library."

"Thank you." said KC. She walked away. As she did, she quickly gave Wink back his magnifying glass.

[Draconorn]

Wink, interested in what KC11 was up to, followed her out of the library.

((GAH! Short post!))

[KC11]

"Oy, don't follow me." said KC. "This is pretty important, and I don't want anyone screw...." but KC quickly stopped herself and, in all manner of polietness, said "...to get hurt."
