<div class="IPBDescription">Ns in a Fantasy world .</div> Okay most of you will loathe this story as it's incredibly different from the NS world.
Basically this story is set in a world, where the TSA exist as a army to fight the Kharaa. Weapons are forbidden by the church, which has much power, the TSA use swords and bows and magic by the elders. Ok let's get this going


<b><u>The Prophesy</u></b>

He never revealed his face, it was hidden under his jet bllack hood, his robes where jet black aswell, silver markings would glow now and then. Lotheus felt his face sweating as he waited for the Prophet to speak.
" Why haven't they came you ask ?" The Prophet said, his voice dry but snake like.
" We did what you predicted." Lotheus replied.
" We didn't reveal enough to you, Royal blood was needed, Royal love will bring them." The Prophet said.
" But the King will never agree to have any of his family sacraficed !" Lotheus blurted out.
" Make up lies, if you want us that bad then you'll do what is needed." The Prophet continued acting as though there was no problem.
" How do i know i will be rewarded ?" Lotheus asked.
" Well you brought me back, so i will pay you." The Prophet said as he clenched his fist, his skin was not human, it was scaly and damp. The room flashed white and in the Prophet's hand was a Diamond, the largest Lotheus had ever seen, his eyes widen as the Prophet levitated it to Lotheus who took it and gently placed it in his robes pocket.
" The rewards will be greater, once we are freed." The Prophet said as he rose and started walking to a Gylph marked on the floor, he made a pattern in the air with his finger, nothing happened then the floor below him opened up revealing a pit, ghost like objects flew round in there, dying screams filled the room sending chills up Lotheus spine, the Prophet then sunk into the bit as it closed.
The guards walked in.
" Your orders Sir ?" The yasked
" I want the fastest Oni you got ready, i must travel to Vellerta." Lotheus demanded
" Yes sir." They replied as they walked out.

<b><u> The Prophet begins.</u></b>

" MUMMY !!! LOOK MUMMY !" A young girl shouted as she held a ball of fire in her hands. A woman came in, her clothes expensive, her eyes where blood red.
" Well done Tallisha !" She said as Tallisha threw it at the wall, the ball exploded making the curtains catch on fire, Tallisha mum smilied as she drew object in the air then blew into it, water rained down on the fire putting it out, Tallisha mum picked her up daughter, she tidied her daughters blue hair, her eyes being one blue the other green.

Lotheus arrived at Vellerta, he rode through on the Oni until he reached the castle, he dismounted the Oni as creature keepers looked after the Oni and lead it to a stable, Lotheus entered the castle and followed the red carpet, he walked up the marble stairs and along the corridors, pictures of past Kings and Queens hung on the walls, he carryed on the till he came to another flight of stairs, he walked up them and opened the great doors, it lead to a great hall, guards stood along side the carpet, as it lead to a throne, where a old man sat down, his chair was large, it was ancient beyond guessing, pictures were engraved showing warriors of the first TSA and how they became to be.

" My lord !" Lotheus said as he bowed before the King.
" Ahh Lotheus, what news does the Prophet bring ?" The King replied
" We may have figured it out." Lotheus said, though doubt taking over his voice.
" But the catch is very doubting." Lotheus continued.
" Anything to stop the Kharaa, the TSA is being no help, every Kharaa they kill another two take it's place." The king said, desperancy taking over.
" You must sacrafice your wife." Lotheus said quitely. The King didn't reply, his face thinking before saying.
" Captain get my wife please."
" Yes your Lord." The Captain said as he bowed and left the room.

" Like this shape ?" Tallisha asked.
" Yes that's it, then spread your fingers and concentrate and." Tallisha's mum stopped as she fired lighting out of her hands, the chair burst apart, burnt marks on it. Tallisha concentrated and spread her fingers, a little spark came out just makign a burnt mark on the chair.
" Oh." Tallisha said, looking down at the floor.
" It's okay hunni, just practice." Tallisha's mum said. There was knock at the door.
" Come in." She called. The Captain poked his head through the door
" Excuse my ladyship, my Lord whishes to speak with you." He then closed the door and walked of.
" I'll be right back sweet heart." Tallisha mum kissed her on the forehead and walked off.

" Will it bring peace ?" She asked, her face unhappy.
" Yes it will my Ladyship." Lotheus replied.
" Then i'll do it, for Tallisha." She said.
" I'm sorry it came to this." Lotheus said apologetically.
" So am i" She said.
" Let me say goodbye first then i'll come." She said a tear rolling down her eye.

" Look mummy !" Tallisha said, She thrusted her hands forwards and lighting came out, the chair was sent flying backwards and smashed on the walls sending out a shower of lighting. She turned to face her mum.
" Mummy what's wrong ?" Tallisha asked.
" Nothing sweety, remember that i love you and i'll always look after you." She replied, she took off her amulet, it contained a picture showing Ice, Fire, Water and Lighting in the middle was the skeleton of a unknown bird.
" Take this sweety." She handed Tallisha the amulet and hugged her.
" Keep practicing sweety, don't give up."
" I love you mummy." Tallisha replied as she put the amulet round her neck.

They stared across Vellerta.
" I don't trust him." He said.
" Neither do i." She replied, she turned to face him.
" Please take care of Tallisha."
" I will." He replied starring into her red eyes, he bent his head and kissed her on the lips.
" I'll miss you." He said.
" I'll miss you too." She replied. They walked down to the main hall. Tallisha was feeding Lotheus Oni as her mum got into her Onos drawn carriage.
" Bye mummy !" Tallisha called as she chased after the carriage down the castle entrance, when it was out of sight she ran to her father who picked her up and kissed her on the cheek.
" When is mummy coming back daddy ?" Tallisha asked her Father, he didn't reply.
They stared as the carriage dissapeared into the horizon, he turned and walked back into his Castle and sat at his throne, the throne next to him, he watched his 6 year old daughter climb into the throne next to him.

    When i grow up.

    " NOW !!" He shouted, they gave of a loud shout and charged at the Skulks, meters away from them Skulks, they stuck their shields into the ground and leaned agaisnt it. The Skulks ran into the shield and either cutted themselves on the spikes on the shields or where impaled on them. Then men lifted up their shields and lunged at the Skulk with their Swords.
    " Sir Gorges spitting at us further up the field." Said a man slashing at a Skulk. The man he was talking to looked up the field and saw two Gorges firing spit at them.
    " Archers retreat and fire up field north." He ducked behind his shield as spit flew past his head, he spotted a Skulk leaping at him, he lunged forward and stabbed the sword through the Skulks head, it fell to the floor, it's leg twitching. He then saw arrows fly through the air, One arrow caught a Gorge through the short stubby neck, the other took a arrow to the leg, it wailed and retreated. He pulled out his knife and threw it at a Skulk slicing it's stomach open, he spotted a man with a Skulk on top of him trying to bite his face, he ran upto the Skulk and kicked it, he then stabbed at the Skulk as it wailed in pain then stopped moving.
    The remaining Skulks knew the battle was lost, they started running back, some were killed by arrows, stragglers were killed of by the TSA swordsmans.
    " Any casulties ?" Asked a man, he had neck long brown hair, his eyes hazel, a distinctive scratch under his left eye his bulky figure dwarfing the other TSA swordmans, his sword far different from the others, a hook was at the tip of the sword as it bent back down the sword, the sword had a strange auroa around it, the blade would shine liquid metal as though if the blade wasn't a solid object, the handleguard in the shape of a angel, acting as though as she held the sword in place.
    " None." Replied another man in Blue armour instead of the green armour everyone else war.
    " Nice to see my training kicking into them." The man with blonde hair comented.
    " Heh your a good fighter Sarane. I don't know what i'm going to do when you leave." The man in blue replied.
    " Thank you Sir, well my son is keen on joining, hah that's 7 year olds for you, he's got good skills, learnt from my old man, may he rest in peace." Sarane said.
    " Well lets go home, don't want to be here all night. GOOD JOBS GUYS, LET'S SADDLE UP AND HEAD HOME !" The man in blue shouted to them all, he walked down hill and got onto the back of his Onos, before he yanked the reins and charged of down the road leading to a large city. The TSA men all walked off down the opposite root, into a small village.

    He held his sword in one hand, the other holding the shield, he spun round and sliced at the wooden pole, he hacked at it vigoursly, it eventually broke.
    " Remember, don't always just hack away, they son't stand still for you in real life son." Said a voice behind the young boy, his hair was blonde and came down to his ears, his eyes blue as sapphire.
    " DADDY !" The boy cried as he jumped over the fence and hugged his Dad, he bent down and picked him up in his arms, he opened the gate and closed it behind him, he setted up a wooden pole and put the boy down.
    " Watch Daddy , Sarlex." Sarane said. He drew his sword out and held it in two hands. He lunged forward and stabbed the sword into the wood, with lightning speed, he pulled the sword out and swung his body round and swipped at the block of wood as it sliced in half.
    " Wow, let me try." Sarlex said as he dropped his shield and swipped at the block of wood, his sword got caught in the wood, he then kicked the block of wood as it snapped off.
    " Heh you little cheater." Sarane said as he patted his son on the head and walked into his house were his wife greated him with a kiss.
    " You'll never believe what happened today." She said as she roasted the cherk on the fire.* Cherk= 1/2 Chicken, 1/2 Lerk.*
    " What happened ?" Sarane asked as he took his armour off.
    " The Queen rose past today." She replied.
    " About time she got some fresh air, she's always teaching that Talisha magic and spells.
    " Well she didn't look too happy at what ever was happening, with that strange guy." Saranes wife carryed on as she took the Cherk of the fire.
    " What guy ?"Sarane asked rubbing his feet.
    " Some guy in a robe didn't look very kind, had a strange evil look around him." She replied.
    " We'll them magic folk are strange at times." He replied as he went to the front door to tell Sarlex it was dinner time. Sarlex dropped his sword and came in asking for the Cherk leg. His mum smilied and gave him the Cherk leg.
    " What did you do today Daddy?" Sarlex asked.
    " Oh not much, killed some Skulks." Sarane replied.
    " Which one are Skulks ?" Sarlex asked.
    " They are the scaly dog like ones, there are the 5 basic Kharaa, Skulk are the common one, Gorges are usually found with Skulks, they are the stuby ones, you can train them to become pets, Lerks are the flying ones, very hard to kill with Swords, Fades are the tall scary ones, they only come out at night and Onos are the ones we can ride if we train them properly, but if they are wild watch out, they pack a punch, as for the other kinds, i only found them in specific places, Wychs are found in the South-East in the icy mountain region, Cradlebacks are found in the North-West in the thunder region whatever you do don't get scratched by them or the Kharaa mind will deform your body into a cradleback,Groplers are found in the South-West in the desert region and lastly Draugs, god i hate Draugs, they are the worst, they are found in the North-east in the swamp region, Draugs are drowned Kharaa or Humans who are possesed by the Hive mind, as for our region we are just plagues by the normal 5, which is bad enough has they never seem to go away, all Kharaa are spawned by Hives, Hives are setted up by Gorges aswell." Sarane asked.
    " What about Clawhead ?" Sarlex asked as he drank his milk.
    " What the hell is ?" Sarane asked.
    " DON'T SAY THAT INFRONT OF HIM !" Deliex snapped at Sarane.
    " Sorry hunni." Sarane replied, she smilied and nodded.
    " It's a poem, Clawhead close behind you treads--

    She woke to find the carridge stopped.
    " Where are we driver ?" The Queen asked, wonderign what Tallisha would be doing right now. There was no reply, she got out of teh carridge and started walking towards the front of the carriage, she stopped and turned round thinking she heard someone walking, seeing nothing behind she walked towards the driver seat and gasped--

    Three looks back and you'll be dead." Sarlex carryed on saying the poem--

    The driver was dead, his body crushed by something, the Onos were dead aswell, bruises visible on them. She walked forward , she stopped and listened, she heard squelchs in the mud behind her, she spun round a fireball ready in her hand, nothing, she looked back at the Onos, their heads wide open.
    " LOTHEUS !!!" She shouted, another foot step behind, she looked behind her and screamed, then she saw nothing else as everything blacked out.

    " But close you eyes and count to ten and Clawhead will be gone again." Sarlex finished off.
    " Never heard of that Kharaa before, it's jus a poem Sarlex it's not true. But bedtime is true." Sarane replied as he picked Sarlex up.

    He got seperated in the fog and lost sight of the Queens carriage, he finally found it toppled over.
    " Oh no." He said to himself, he rode his Onos towards the wreck, he heard foot steps behind.
    " BUGGA OFF CLAWHEAD I'M NOT A FOOL ! YOU ALREADY ANGER ME BY RUINING MY PLANS, NOW SCRAM !" He shouted not turning round. He was answered by a large roar and footsteps walking off.
    " The prophet is gonna kill me." He said to himself as he stared at the Queens lifeless body.

    Just a minor nitpick.

    The past tense of cut is cut, not cutted. The same for set and put. Not a major thing, but it breaks off the flow of the writing.

    The storyline is great, some spelling and grammar errors though.
