{Kendra: I think I like the first title better…}
(Ariel: Actually, I like the second title. Becau-[Ari:
*twaks Ariel* get on with it!])
**Kendra**
Opening my eyes, I blinked a few times and rolled off
the cot I had been sleeping on. Stretching, my fingertips just barely grazed
the roof of my tent and my wingtips grazed the sides. Wait a minute. Wingtips!
Suddenly the memories of my character came into my brain, full force. I
was Armina [Arm-ee-nah] RavenHawk, daughter of Vyriss [Vear-iss(rhymes
with piss{lol. piss})] RavenHawk, leader of the RavenHawk tribe of Avians.
I looked down at myself, examining my body. There were a few half-feathers
that came off my forearms; my hands had a slight talon feel to them. A
tail of feathers sprouted from my tail bone and two large wings spread
from between my shoulder blades. Examining what feathers I could see, I
noticed that they were a light tan colour with a darker shade of brown
edging each feather. Running my hands through my hair I was startled to
find that it was short, just shoulder length, and made of more feathers.
I looked around for a mirror, certainly the 'princess' of a clan should
have something that passed as a mirror…
Finding a mirror I looked at my face, my nose was almost beak-like and my eyes were gold and black, looking just like a hawk's. The feathers that I had for hair were black with silver marks on the ends, I shook my head and watched the feathers fall back into place. I examined my garb and found I was dressed in a light green halter top, it was a nearly back-less shirt with a piece wrapped around my stomach and a small strip around the back of my neck. There weren't any holes off the front though the armholes were a bit larger than I was used to. I wore a regular pair of leather pants that would have been like jeans in RL (real life) with a low hip line, low enough that my tail could fit comfortably over the top. I was still examining myself in the mirror when a polite clearing of a throat from the entrance to my tent made me whirl around.
"Are you ready, m'lady?" the Avian in the doorway asked. He was well built, his chest muscles visible through his semi-tight shirt, and leather pants like mine showed well-shaped legs. His feathers were dark grey with black bars, his hair-feathers were pure white, and it came to my mind that he had had them dyed.
I wracked my mind for what he meant and a memory floated
to the surface of my thoughts. Cyren [Sear-en], and that was this Avian's
name, was going to take me to the town of Trademeet, the most diverse place
on the face of Seirago, the planet this game was played on. I nodded; hopefully
I would meet up with the others in Trademeet…
**Yami**
I groaned and rubbed my head as I sat up, ugh, it felt
as if I'd been run over by an eighteen-wheeler… twice! I heard the sounds
of a campfire a few feet away from me and as I blinked my eyes to clear
my vision I saw two people sitting beside the fire, staring at me. "'Bout
time you woke up," one of them commented in a female voice.
I blinked and licked my lips, "What?"
"Yeah," the male commented, "We were waiting on you so we could get going to Trademeet."
I merely blinked again and continued to try and get the saliva going in my mouth, the female shook her head. "Have you never played a video game before?" When I didn't answer she sighed. "The first objective to any multi-player game is always to find the other PCs, and the best way to find them is to go to the big cities and look for a quest to do, because that's what everyone else will be doing too."
"How do you know so much about video games?" I managed to ask, confused about who I was talking to, I knew it was one of my friends, but which one?
"Ariel plays a lot of them." So it was Ari, who was the other one? I managed to get to my feet and walk over to them, my head was still pounding but not nearly as much as it had been when I first awoke. "I'm Arantith[Air-an-tith], this is Drimaian[Drim-eh-an]. You are?"
I looked sideways at her and opened my mouth to reply when suddenly memories of who I was flooded through me. "Draken,[exactly as it's spelt]" I said, even as I was 'remembering' who I was. Right, I was Draken, a Dark Elf.
Drimaian snorted, "Right, now that he knows who he is, can we go? I think the town's just a few minutes walk away."
Arantith smirked before bursting into laughter. "Yea, but knowing these games, we're gonna hafta fight at least twelve monsters that are a few levels higher than us!"
Drimaian and I stared at Arantith oddly...
**Ariel**
I opened my eyes and yawned. Stretching my arms as I
stood up, I wondered what happened. I stretched out right leg, then my
left leg as I pondered this. But one question really nagged at me. Am
I alone? I got around to stretching my other right and left legs as
I looked around. Finally moving on to stretching my tail I-waitaminute,
other legs? Tail?! TAIL?!?!?! What the hell is going on?! Franticly looking
behind me, I barely avoid getting my eyes gouged by my own elbow-blades
as I see- ELBOW-BLADES?!! That's not right! I try to walk around, since
I could've sworn I saw something move behind me. But every time that I
moved, so did it. Hmmm...
"Hello?" I hear a high-pitched voice squeak out from behind me. In the next few seconds, I had the owner of the voice held up to my eye-level by his neck using my two blades on my tail. The speaker, well, looked like one of Santa's elves. He had small blond bangs sticking out from underneath his hat. As I looked into his Ice-blue eyes, I had a sneaking suspicion that I knew this guy...
"Hey, nice job with the voice." I say as I drop the Elf-Midget.
"Really? I knew I was good at acting! But Seto wouldn't-" The Elf replied in Mokuba's voice. I cut him off at wouldn't, by naming him.
"Mokuba." It then clicked in his head what I did.
"Hey! That's cheating!" He shouted at me as I looked over myself. I noticed that I was an Ocean Blue Requin with Lavender blades. YES! I'm a Half-Requin! Waaaiiit.....I wanted to be a Half-Dragon!!! Euragah! *cough* anyway, I noticed that I was an Ocean Blue Requin with Lavender blades. My shirt was Sky Blue with a Purple horseshoe-like shape with two bars running through it. Looking on my arm, I saw the same thing tattooed on my left shoulder. If only I had a mirror! The tank-top I wore showed my belly-button, of which had a Purple ring around it. Looking at Mokuba, I saw that he would just reach the height of my kneecap if I were human....Jesus Christ! That kid was puny! I've had bigger chunks of corn in my-
"So, Who are you? My game name is Eldred. Apparently I am a Prince of Elves!" said Mok-uh,-Eldred whilst grinning broadly.
"Um, I'm Asteria. I'm supposed to be 'escorting' you back to your realm, but I think we got lost, and were going back to Trademeet. Anyway, I think we'd better-" I stopped as my ears twitched as they heard something. Sounded like...hoofbeats?
"Huh? Asteria, why'd you stop?" Eldred paused as his ears wiggled too. "Uh-Oh!" he shouted. "We'd better hide, someone's coming!"
I looked at him. "No, I think if I look like a human..." I said this as I turned into my human form. I now was wearing an Sky Blue skirt and Purple shoes. I now noticed the Brown leather pack I had slung over my right shoulder. "...Then we're ok." I finished as we waited for whoever was coming. We didn't have to wait long, as at that moment, a Gaia the Fierce Knight rode over the hill and approached us.
"I have been commanded to search out and put you under arrest. You are to come quietly and without resistance." He said as he reached for me.
"Wait! What did I do?" I asked as calmly as I could as
I backed away from him...

RainbowRyou, No, this is not our LotR/Yugioh crossover, that is still struggling through the prologue, which I am having an amazingly difficult time writing.
Genocide, Thankies! *grins*
