History: The Rise of the Fringe Event

*As written in Colonel Victor Capez (Vexx)'s Journal*

Strange things are happening. Strange things indeed. News spread of the great scientist Syrren's return to Rull. I seeked him out, wanting to hear more of his amazing redstone wiring and contraptions. The Great Legend Igmikey appeared in Rull as well. It was a surprised confrontation between Syrren and Igmikey, neither expecting to see the other.

I travelled to Clarifen. On my surprise Syrren had travelled with a group to the city a day before. He was there on my arrival with Anders Vanhouzen, Squire Ryan Severance, Thomas L Boss, and the Lady of Clarifen. Festivities had began, times were good. Stories being told. I had left the festivities to survey the new grounds of Clarifen, only to see Ghasts floating above the city! I let out the alarm and everyone came rushing, each taken by surprise at the foul beasts that soared the skies. A battle was engaged upon, a battle I have not seen in many winters.

We decided that we must seek the Lord Igmikey for help and advice. Syrren left at once to travel to Rull, hoping to find him somewhere about the city. News travelled back, days later of Syrren's arrival of Rull, infested with hordes of the Dark Lord himself. Zasuti had taken his hold on Mirugan, and had begun the seige of Rull.

My companions and I travelled to Rull in haste. Upon arrival we had seen what could only be seen in night terrors. Hordes of zombies, skeletons, creepers, spiders, as far as the eye could see. We advanced, and fought in groups to try to manage the massive number of enemies that had besieged Rull. I fell, the light begining to fade from my eyes. Anders came to my rescue and after a time I was able to lift my blade again and fight for Rull and Mirugan once more.

Cries of "For Clarifen", "For Mirugan", and "For Rull" echoed throughout the city as men fought and were slain by the minions of the dark. It was as if a prayer had been answered, for Igmikey, the legend, appeared! He fought of minions of demons with the blades of Zicamgar, lighting flying from the sky towards his intended targets. The battle seemed to last for hours. Ig mikey fell, and the last anyone saw of him his body was sinking to the bottom of the Harbor.

Day had come at last, repelling the minions of the dark. Yet, another night, another stampede that we began to fight off. For three nights it was like this. Three nights fighting for our lives, fighting for the citizens of Rull and Mirugan. Yet, finally it seemed we had pushed Zasuti's minions back, and Rull was at peace, for the time being.

Igmikey's body was never recovered. Most those that had be slain were recovered and accounted for, marking the new graves so that they may always be remembered for their sacrifice for Mirugan.

I write this to tell the story of the Fringe events, for I believe the legendary tales are once again happening, possibly the era of a new age dawning. I am scared, the the world as we know it may change, that Zasuti may once again get a grasp on the world that I have come to love.

I fear our world does not have much time.

a continuation from Micah keyshin's memory

Several suns later the battle had continued in rull, I had survived a skeletons arrow and fallen into the Rull harbor; i quickly lose consciousness. several days had passed and i had realized i was trapped in some type of chamber under the ground. at first the area was blurry but as my sights began to be regained i recognized several familiar looking structures. to my horror, i spotted large plumes of lava flowing from the ceiling and at the center of the chamber was a nether portal. it seemed that the monster infestation in Rull may have been caused by this portal. very soon after Victor capez and his forces stormed into the chamber while venutring in the rull sewers. a small battle persued resulting in a cleansing of the room, and also my rescue. several people began to help me up to the surface. i was treated at the quantum inn but Ranmore and released shortly after. smaller bouts spread around rull which ultimately resulted in the election of a new king.

Today was a day I will not soon forget. I am trying to lead Rull into a new time, a prosperous time, yet Zasuti's reign seems to grow, as he strengthens daily. His grasp on our realm is becoming stronger and I fear we do not have much longer before there is a full assault on the world that I love, the city that I love.

I brought honor to Rull's arms by Knighting three men I trust dearly. Sir Micah Keyshin, loyal bodyguard and servant to Zicamgar and Mirugan, Syrren, trusted friend and engineer, and Anders Vanhouzen, long time friend, adventure mate, and the most loyal man I have ever met. All three of these men bring different things to Rull's arms, all three treating the city as if it were his child. I feel proud and honored to be able to give this privilege to these men, for I know that they will take it upon their shoulders to protect Rull from any harm.

The ceremony had just ended as the crowd heard screams of "Ghasts amist Rull!" Fearing for my city, we rushed out the hall and looked up, only seeing what we all had feared upon hearing those words. Hordes of minions of the dark, roaming Rull's grounds as if they had taken the town as their own. Brave men and women took up arms in Rull's defense, some of which I fear have gave their life for the cause, for the city itself, becoming a part of Rull as we all have.

The battle raged, portals began to appear. More and more minions seemed to flood from their gates as if a stampede of antelope flocking from a predator. It seemed as if they were never going to end. We fought them off as best we could, pushing and being pushed, moving and flanking while the enemy did the same. I feared that we were to loose Rull this time, for it seemed worse than the night we found the portal below our beloved city.

It seemed to end, the portals were destroyed, the enemies pushed back. Sir Keyshin ordered the remaining men to the hospital so that Lucavex and his assistants could look over the wounds. I ordered Syrren to barricade the hospital, for if anything were to happen again I wanted the injured to be protected. For they had given their own blood for Rull, so I should see that they were protected.

Night came, another day, another night. It seemed as if the battle had ended. Sir Keyshin was ordering patrol, seeing to the area. I hear of ambush, and am once again worried that it has started again. And it seemed that Keyshin could not be found. His men retreated to the hospital, but he was not found.

The battle raged for what seemed eternity. It was by the sheer luck that we survived, and the arrival of Starfleet airships. Had it not been for those airships, I fear that we would not have made it through another night. They were our lifeboats. Rull seemed to come to life with those that had placed their blade between its fall and the minions. Men shouting, blood being spilled, the cries of the wounded filling the air, of the enemy dying.

And when all was thought to be won, another portal appeared, bringing waves of minions back into Rull, waves that we thought were going to demolish us. But I forget the power and strength of the mindset of men. The way that men can accomplish anything that they put their mind to. If not for the men and women that fought for Rull this eve, we might be seeing a different world on the morn. I thank these men with all my heart, for they are the reason that Rull is as strong as it is.

Portals destroyed, men wounded, a city saved. Thank the light. Thank the ale. But once again, I fear we do not have much time.

-.- I meant posts like the one bob made, which is little more than spam, and his in particular is just..... ugh.... I'm on the verge of a rant. You know what I meant delta.

[deltajesus]

Yes I knew exactly what you meant but you could have worded it much better and it looked like you were being a smart-ass (my job) so I decided to be a smart-ass too.

[Lunair.Blackwind]

Fair enough, delta, but at this point, we're only spamming ourselves now, so I suggest we cease.
