legends talk of worlds beyond ours.Wisemen, shaman, even the clergymen all base thier legends on these worlds. But what exactly is myth, and what is truth? For most that is unknown. There are those who walk the world, believe what they choose to, and dont dare question any of it. These people are the ones we protect. "We" being the other half of this knowledgless coin. "We" are the disciples. Led by the great magician Beranabus. We know the truth. Those that walk the world, look to their gods, and step blindly into the abyss are soon dead. We have learned to not take truth for fact.

There is a world outside of ours. Many worlds to be exact. They are ruled by horrid beasts, named "The Demonata". These horrific creatures are born of pure magic. Their entire world filled to the brim with a special energy that many have come to consider "Magical". These creatures are far from friendly however. Most demons seek only the flesh and blood of the living, and thanks to the occasional evil or insane mage, they manage to get into our world. Thats when things get bad.

The portal closes behind you, an unnamed plane lying in your sites. THIS is the world of the demonata, THIS is hell.

Things to take note of-

Spoiler

Show

Magic- Magic ONLY works in the realm of the demonata, or when a connection exist. (via a portal) any mage can open a portal, although this practise takes a large amount of time and skill.

Time- time flows differently in the realm of the demonata.

Physics- for those of you chancing on using knowledge like physics or chemisrty, be aware that the world of the demonata does not adhere to the laws of physics. Unless stated otherwise, the world function JUST LIKE EARTH, for all senses. The demonic worlds are purely magic based.

Bryon Pettersen: You cross the portal. dusting off your suit. ahead of you you see a world of pure twisted melevolance. the entire plane is crafted of water, yet you stand atop it with ease. You dont seem to sink. All around you are decaying trees, and a thick mist. You hear it in the distance, or is it nearby? a screaming? or...howling. Is it the trees? certainly not, how could it be. This world gives you chills. Whatever reason you find yourself here, your stuck, make the best of it.

Jade Blackstone: What does snow look like in hell? Very weird. You cross a portal into the realm of the demonata. The world infront of you is covered in fire and snow. Lying within the snow are riveres and pools of magma, and the sky shimmers with blazing flames. This world is strange, its both painfully cold, and impossibly hot. Whatever purpose you had, wether accidently or not, to cross into this world, your here and theres no going back.

Frei Ein Lamor: It can only get soo dark. Or so you thought. This is different. A bitter chill lays on your flesh. Are you underground? Who knows, its too dark to tell. From the touch of the earth, and smell of the air you would think your in a cave. But then, why would there be a massive light at the end. Although this world is pitch black, you can see one shimmering far into the distance. Is this world your tomb? your new home? I wouldent know.

Cadman Adair: Well great, as if your life was bad enough, now your on a small rock in the middle of the sky. Why is it this world is so strange? The world of the demonata know no physical limitations. You find youself on a platform of stone, in the middle of an endless abyss of sky. No light source anywhere, and yet everything is illuminated as if it were midday. Other rock platforms lie about, nothing more then a hop...skip...and JUMP away!


Alright, you all ready to face the horrors of the demonic realm? Prepare your wits, they will be your BEST tool.


Side note- I want you to have your own reasons for traversing the demonic world. It can be anything, for those of you unimaginative I will supply a couple "plothooks" to get you moving.

1. The disciples numbers have been thinning, why is this? ( this will be played on wether any of your characters know about it or not)
2. You were in a life or death situation, and it was all so sudden, you dident MEEN to pull yourself into this world. A fluke at best.
3. Your gaurd was off, it was nothing more then a howl in the night. When you awoke you found yourself here.

( those are suggestions, feel free, and encouraged, to come up with your own quest)

[Jayngfet]

Cadman Looks suspiciously at the stone he is standing on, kneels close to it and uses a small bit of magic to strike it.

[TheOz]

Bryan stands still for a moment, disoriented, thinking that perhaps he'd gotten a sudden case of vertigo. But the feeling of dizziness passes quickly, leaving him in a place not at all like the parking garage he'd just been walking through. It seems surreal, and somehow anticlimactic, that he should have so little reaction to suddenly ending up... Where?

Truth, his heart rate is beginning to rise as he takes in the scenery, a mix of scream and howl reaching his ears and an unfamiliar swampy odor entering his nose. He reaches into a pocket, feeling his car keys - his only potential weapon should something from a horror movie come barreling out of the twisted trees.

"What the hell...?" he mutters, his voice quiet and hesitant. He remembers the end of the workday, the last cup of coffee, the good-bye to the secretary, the walk to the parking garage... He had been in sight of his car... And there had been someone there. Someone sitting by one of the large cement supports. A homeless man, he'd assumed, but he kept his distance anyway, feeling something was off. Bryan got the distinct feeling that this whole series of events has something to do with that man.

He turns a slow circle, peering through the trees in search of movement, looking for a light, a path, anything to give him a direction to travel in - for staying here likely would do no good.

[DMBlackhart]

Cadman Adair- The impossibly expansive sky of this world goes on far out of your range of sight. There is an indefinate number of rocks and platforms in this sky. Some as small as pebbles, and as massive as a house. Most tend to be large enough to jump on or to. The platform your on is big enough to not require any balance to keep from tipping, however when you strike it with a magically empowered fist it immediatly crumbles. ( Look out!! )

[DMBlackhart]

Bryan Pettersen-Your vision wont cut far past the mist. In the distance, you see a figure moving into the mist, and out of your sight.

[Jayngfet]

Cadman graabs his boomerang and throws it at a large rock, and has it latch onto the rock and bring it back to him to stand on.

[Fan]

Frie picked up a handful of the dirt below letting it slide through hir slender fingers, the coarse texture, and grainy feel of it the only familar thing is this abyss so black. Yet, something odd was going on here, even in the silence s/he could hear something off in the distance beyond this unhallowed abyss.

"What is this sound that pierces mine ears. it sings of loneliness, and torment. Is it the sounds of fellow souls trapped within this damned abyss, or is it merely the wind of this strange plane?"

Frie decided not to pay this tortured wailing no mind, and rather sat about searching for hir long knife to use as a guide to find the walls of this strange place.

[DMBlackhart]

Cadman Adair- You already know all too well the world you are in. And are aware of the use of magic. As such it takes less then a heartbeat for you to whip your boomerang out. Whizzing through the air your magically enhanced metallic projectile secures to you a mass of earth. Sweepy the stone under your feet, your decent halted.

[DMBlackhart]

Frei Ein Lamor- You pull out your knife. Scanning the area. It takes you only seconds to find a solid wall...or, is it? The wall is moist, and malliable. Your dagger sinks in, and a squishing noice occurs. A stream of some kind of liquid spills onto your wrist and hand. A foul smell escaping the liquid.

The Howel you heard before escapes again, the wind trailing after.

[Fan]

"Like the gales of a thousand winters this abyssal howl assaults mine ears. Let mine eyes, and my blade guide mine body to the safety of the exit."
As Frei says this s/he removes hir shades, revealing hir golden amber snake slits, and with a minor incantation he grants herself the ability to see through this blackest night.

[Jayngfet]

Cadman bends down towards the stone and tries to examine it. How porus is it? What color is it? Are there any veins of metal in it?

[DMBlackhart]

Frei- Your eyes shimmer with a mystical energy. The darkness lifts. The first thing you notice is the liquid on your hand... Its, BLOOD!! The odor, brings you to your second sight. The entire cavernous area is not normal. The floor is indeed earth, and soil. The walls however are something weirder, something WORSE! Flesh covers the entire perimitar of the "walls". And within this flesh are bodies, as if 1000 humans were melted into the wall.

The last thing to catch your eye, is the light. A cloaked stands near the light, murmerring to him/herself. The light is shaped much like a elongated window. ( 5ft in high, 3 ft in width with a rounded top) Its yet to be completed. The window has shards missing.

The last thing you notice is the howling wind. It comes from the mouths of the dead. They themselves do not move, yet its unmistakable. The bodies are causing the sound and the pressurous air.

Cadman- The stone is hard and grey. Its strange, grey stones? Not otherworldly, jsut strange. Within each stone are tiny veins of red. But what metal is red?

[Jayngfet]

I break off a few red viened pieces and stick them in my pocket. Then I look down to see if there is a bottom to this place.

[DMBlackhart]

Cadman- Once the rock breaks loose a gush of red liquid poors out. Clearly blood. At this the stone roars...wait, what? The stone bends and shifts to take on the form of some what of a cross between a man a hawk, and a viper, yet keeps its grey stonelike texture. The beast has jayng caught in its rocky talons. Making another roaring sound. You look to down during all this, and see no end in sight. You fall, you die.

[Fan]

Frei gasped at the sight of so much grotesque horrors, and unsightly beings within hir presence, and they had gone so undetected before... That, mattered not for now her goal was to escape this lighted abyss most foul.
S/he took hir steps forward long knife drawn in case the necropolotions of this realm decided to attempt a act most foul to attempt to rob her of life's holy light.
((Going towards the light.))

[Jayngfet]

Cadman looks at the boomerang imbedded in his claaws and uses magic to dig it deeper to break his claws and enter a freefall, using his boomerang again to grab another rock to stand on.

[DMBlackhart]

Frei- You move quietly through the chamber, the howls masking your footsteps and presence from the cloaked figure. You can see now as you close in, that the figure is male, bald, with a cryptic design engraved on his scalp. He contineus to mutter. still not aware of you

[DMBlackhart]

Cadman- The stony demonic beast screeches when its rock talon is bursted. You begin to plummet, the beast diving after you. Your luck turns for the better, as you land on another rock ( thanks to your boomerang). The stone creature collides with another floating rock and gets knocked down some hundred feet below you. Your feeling a bit tired, as if you had jsut gone jogging for an hour.

[Jayngfet]

Cadman rests for a few minutes to regain his strength and breaks off a large chunk of the stone and throws at the next large stone.

[Fan]

Frei walks closer being sure to put hir shades on to dim the light of hir glowing eyes, but still allow hir vision to be decent, each step careful, and measured 1 ft at a time as S/he estimated the distance with hir eyes, and she elongated her long knife into a elegant hand and a half sword, and readying it for the attack should things turn sour with this man embroidered with markings arcane, and chanting fell words of the damned.

[DMBlackhart]

Frei- Your ready yourself. Yet, the man seems too focused on his spell. The portal is close to completing. The man is FAR too into his spell to notice anything, and the wind and howlling hides your steps. A fatal mistake as any in this world, is to become distracted...this man is fair game. He continues chanting, the window almost fully formed...

[DMBlackhart]

Cadman- You try to rest, and recover your strength. Yet within no more then 10 seconds your swept away by the bird beast again. it has less of a grip on you this time, however its reptile tail is grabbing you by the legs, and its one talon by the arms. Trying to pull you apart.

[Jayngfet]

Cadman looks at the demon and then turns his gaze at it's torso, the part connecting the arms and tail. He calls magic into his gaze and turns it into an attack shouting

"EYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE BEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMS"

[Fan]

Frei unsure of what to do raises the sword in a back hand stance ready to strike out with cat like speed as s/he attempts to walk past him, hir coat tails flaring out behind hir as they get snagged on a protrusion, but release quitely enough that they are just sticking out behind hir now.

[DMBlackhart]

Cadman- You release your bolt of bluish energy. The beast crumbles into many pieces. You then begin your decent. The use of soo much magic, coupled with your bodies damaged condition from the birds attempts and ripping you in half, have caused you to become limp. You have enough strength to keep your eyes open, yet you can hardly grab hold of any of the passing rocks. You soon land on a hard surface. So much imapct that everything goes black. ( I will keep you posted on if you survive or not)

Frei- You sneak past the man, despite your minor snag. The man finishes his spell, the portal glares and begins to ripple and wave like water. The man then steps through.... your alone again...

[Fan]

Frei looks curiously at the area where the portal was, and sticks hir now hand and a half sword into the area where he walked through the blade gleaming magnificent silver as she drew it forward hir wrist moving fludily, and elegantly from it's backwards position, the blade flicking back and forth through the area.

[DMBlackhart]

Cadman- Sometime passes...how long? 5 minutes? 5 hours? 5 years? no clue.
Your eyes shoot open. the last thing you remember is falling, and the pain...its still fresh. all your bones and muscles ache. Your in a lying position, above you a man with a brown cloak stand over you. He kicks your side shouting "WAKE UP!!! We need to hurry now GET UP!!"

Frei- You sword flicks through the glowing white window. It does nothing more then wisp in and out. Should you venture further? Another wail escapes the walls, the bodies screams eternal.

[Jayngfet]

"Alright alright, geez" Cadman says, getting up.

[Fan]

Frei sheathing hir gleaming blade into it's scabbard at her side, takes 3 slow steps into the portal before heading full on into it, diving into the unknown.

[DMBlackhart]

Cadman- You awaken, all of your body still in terrible pain. When you stand you see the man whom just helped you running along some rocks. Hes about 30 feet away now....but, why's he running? You turn around, and see a small army of the beast you fought before approch. at least 20 of them. All roughly 100feet or more off.

Frei- You take a leap of faith. only to find yourself in...well is it limbo? Possibly...seems like an appropriate name. The world is much like space. From videos and books you read, you would think this is the expanse of space that borders the earth. You float...somehow. The man you were chasing lies no more then 10 feet off. He can see you clearly now. However somethings strange, he has a bubble of air encasing his mouth. Why? your question is answered quickly. As you attempt to breath in this world you find a startling lack of oxygen. The space goes on forever. The man shows no threatning signs yet, however his eyes stay on you.
