The Tale of Arahenion and Laidis

[Keitaro]

(i sort of felt like writing this... it's prolly gonna take me a while to complete... so just bare with me... i know that generally the RP stories here are by multiple people... but there really isn't any other place here that it would fit... it's a story of actual events in a role playing game... it's not very good... i'm not much of a writer... i'd also like to appologize for the spelling, punctuation and grammar... i'll be doing most of this late at night after work... oh... and one more thing... i need a better title... any help any of you could give me with that would be much appreciated...)

*A man, dressed in light blue and white, sits at a bar. He is talking to the bartender... telling the tale of the woman he loved over a bottle of cold honey ale... he spoke quietly and just to the bartender, though most of the patrons are listening as well... *

It was a long time ago. I had been in the forests of Yew.... those beautiful woodlands that i call home... I had been battling the forces of Arhiman, a malevolent spirit who was, in actuallity, Minax in disguise, though I didn't know that at the time. I was returning to the healer's shoppe to purchase a few potions, I had run short. That was the first time I saw her. She was absolutely gorgeous, she stood in front of me, sunlight gleaming in her hair... she smiled at me... and for a moment, all I saw was her... But of course... I was shy... so I rushed into the healer's shoppe... when I came out... she was gone. I went about my business through the day... but, no matter what I did, I couldn't get her out of my mind.... *he laughs* even when I was hunting Liches near vesper, i thought of her. I went back to Britain later that night, to deposit my day's earnings with Cyril at the bank there, and there she was... right in front of the bank, chatting with Joseph Rosewood, my best friend. I went into the bank, trying my best not to stare at her... I concluded my business with Cyril and headed out. Joseph called me over... My heart skipped a beat as he introduced her... Laidis Moonstar was her name... she was an elf, and a noble born one at that... any relationship between us would have been strictly forbidden... me being a half elf and of a much lower class... I introduced myself to her... and before I could stop myself, I had blurted out "You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen"... we talked long into the night... and with every word she spoke I fell further in love...

(that's all i can manage right now... i'l finish more of it later...)

We met again a few nights later, and again the next night. She was shy at first, as would be expected... she was a young elf maiden, after all... but we became increasingly close as the time went on. We continued to meet, night after night... until one day, in front of the very bank where we had first spoken, another elf came. Damian... how I cursed that name then... even now I can hardly stand to speak it. He came, and began to flirt with Laidis, right in front of me. I grew irritated, at that time I wanted nothing more than to see him turned into a pincushion, pierced with my arrows. Somehow I managed to stay my hand, though for a time I regretted it. From that point on he made it his sole purpose in life to be the bane of my very existance. He wanted me to leave Laidis, to never see her again. He had recognized my mixed blood, and he hated me for it. I "Tainted" Laidis with my "impurity"... Whenever Laidis and I were together, he was there... we could never be alone. One day, Laidis was to meet me by the bank... she was never late before... for a time I had thought she had run off with D-... with that elf. Then she finally made her appearance, she had been kidnapped by bandits... and he saved her. I was angry... furious... not at him... but at myself... I should have been there... I should have been protecting her... I took it out on him though, I even accused him of planning the attack to make himself look good... though such an idea was preposterous... It was a few weeks later, when Laidis decided I should meet her father. I had recently become the Mayor of the City of Yew. It was mostly just a title, but I had hoped that such a thing would impress a noble like Lord Moonstar. So we set forth into the forests of Yew. My 2 good friends, Joseph Rosewood and Lord Francis accompanied me... as did Damian... Needless to say, the meeting did not go well. At first, Lord Moonstar did not notice my heritage, and I did nothing to draw attention to it. But even when he thought my blood pure, he did not think me fit for his daughter. I was just an archer to him... I had no means of supporting her. *chuckles* Funny... the Mayor of a town like yew... and still i had no means to support her. Then of course, Damian interjected. I was forced to reveal my heritage. Once he knew that I was only half elven... he forbade me to see Laidis... under pain of death.

(But wait... there's more... just not tonite...)

hey this isn;t half bad. you're could do more with maybe spaceing out your paragraphs more though.

also i was wondering if you would like me to be your betaer? (um if you don;t know its a person who reads over your work and fixes mistakes like a comma there no we something like that) since you'll obviously be um... half asleep ^_^

[Keitaro]

that would be wonderfull miss reno, thank you very much... just leave all the elipses in... i know sometimes they don't fit.. but they are pauses, and arahenion paused a lot at inappropriate times...

[Reno]

hey no problem. that was easy. you dfon;t have many mistakes. ^_^ easy to correct. like i said its a good story. i like it.

<sigh> u really don't inspire confidence in ur proofreading skills reno dear...

[Jade]

thats Reno for you shes pure evil

[Reno]

*blinks* what?! i thought that would be a compliment. everyone makes mistakes after all. you didnl;t even have that many.... i don;t get it... what did i say?! do you want a ton of mistakes?!

[Jade]

You said nothing wrong Reno he just took it the wrong way

anyways this is a rp so no more posting here or else ill kill you both with a saudering iron, what ever the hell that is.

[Keitaro]

i didn't take anything the wrong way... i was simply in a mean mood... my comment was based completely on the word " dfon;t"...

[Reno]

don't. is that better? is it because i made a spelling/grammer mistake?! oh god i don;t proofread my junk ever. gimme a damn break. i can so fix things though when i'm paying attention. and i only pay attnetion when i read not when i look don;t at the keyboard and type.

[Keitaro]

i was only teasing you kid... don't make too big a deal about it.. i get like that when i'm actually awake... i'm sorry if it came out to sound really mean...

anyway it'll prolly be tomorrow or sat b4 i post the next (and hopefully final..) paragraph of the story... i haven't been in a creative mood the last 2 nights... tho i know ur all just dying to know what happens to poor arahenion and his love...

[Keitaro]

i'm sorry i never got to finish this... the end is just... it's killing me... i can't figure out how to end it at all... how to describe what happened... it's not writers block so much as a complete lack of creativity... the rest of it was a simple recital of what had happened... but there is so much that simply can't be recited like that... someday i hope to truly finish it... but i may just end up asking Laidis to do it... or bugging TSK to help me... since he was there for parts of it...

[TheShyKnight]

Forget being Creative jsut tell what happen and i'll tring to put it in to the story i can't seem to remember every thing too much and need at lest a reminder in the order of events


oh for a Title how about " The Tale of the Ill fated love"

[Keitaro]

i can't not be creative with it... and i just haven't been in the mood to write lately... i'll finish it eventually... maybe friday....
