Roleplay:Recent Ruins

This roleplay is invite only!

Overview
What exactly lies beyond the forest outskirts of Station Square? Besides the usual animal here or there, something mysterious and eerie hides under the shroud of this forest. The set of ruins that haven't been excavated yet. When word gets around thoughts certainly esculate. Riches, treasure, history, who knows what could lie there?

And that is exactly what people should fear. What does lie in those ruins? Well, that depends. A raging beast at the bottom of the castle, a room with some odd properties, a ruined tapestry, and a great story of a civilization of people long ago, this castle certainly has some valuable things, and perhaps there might be a couple people willing to take or destroy things. Whatever the case is, this is certainly going to be a valuable expedition!

Part 1:Why I gathered you
On the edge of Station Square stood a young man in a black and whtie suit, with a spear on his back, and a badge on his jacket. His red fur stuck out against the green trees and he looked around the area carefully.

His brother, a green fox in a black jacket, sat on a stump nearby. "So, I get why we're here, but who are we waiting on?"

"You'll see." Ages said. "I've gathered some people that I trust. We don't know what's in the ruins, but I have a feeling it isn't going to be good. It's just a hunch, but in case I'm right, I want to have some people here who can help."

"People we trust? I feel like nowadays that comes few and far between." Neo mumbled.

"Don't worry. Zapor so far has done a fine job of proving his worth. I even invited an...old friend to help. Maybe she brought friends with her." Ages said. "Just be paitent they'll be here."

Zak, Lexi, Leo and Eclipse were walking to the place where Ages and Neo were. Leo was dragging Zapor, who currently was unconsious, and blushing. "Why did I have to drag him?"

Along the way, the yellow hedgecat named Christina with the very purple and stylish attire followed the group. She has also brought a friend; an alicorn wearing a magenta tank sweater, a pink crop short sleeve jacket grey shorts, grey socks and pink shoes.

Christina walked towards the four. Smiling at them, she said, "Hi guys!"

(Sorry about the wait, I'm in the process of moving... -Neo)

"Christina, the hell is that thing?" Neo said as he looked at the alicorn. Though, it didn't seem to be out of fear or confusion, but it sounded like something he was surprised to see her. Like he had seen something very similar.

"Neo, don't be that way. I asked for all the help I could get. You're dealing with one of the most powerful magicians in the world." Ages reminded his brother and bowed to the Alicorn. "How do you do, Krys?"

Zero looked over to the kids and cocked his head to the side. "Uh...what's up with Zapor?"

Zak hopped on Zero's back and whispered the entire thing (especially the best part. Nudge nudge).

"I'm doing quite well, Ages." The Alicorn named Krys told Ages, "It's been quite a while since I've seen you.... last time I saw you was back when those plastic items were out of control. She then tilted her head at Neo and giggled, she said, "Silly, I'm an alicorn."

The group would hear more footsteps coming their way, linked to three rather mature Mobians. The most obvious of the group was a muscular gray wolf with dark blue hair, dressed in a forest green jacket over a grey muscle shirt, grey trousers, and brown jackboots.

To his right was a female albino wolf with blonde hair, wearing a white vest with a star design and a pink lacey shirt underneath it, blue jeans with a star pattern stitched into the pantlegs, and brown boots. A wallet chain hung from the collar of her vest, adorned with some ornate charms.

Next to her was a navy blue jackal wearing a crimson cap and dress shirt, with a sort of sun medallion fixed into the collar which was also adorned with several emblems, one of them resembling the planet. On both sides of the shirt were a trio of arrow designs, pointing upward. He wore white pants and brown brogues.

Jeez. Couldn't they have worn something simpler and easier to describe?

Zero couldn't help but smirk a little at the story. "Oh...I see..."

"Right, Alicorn..." Neo muttered under his breath. "Time Spinner, I swear..."

Ages looked towards the three mobians who looked like they were ready for war. "I suppose this is everyone."

"You couldn't have invited a...small army, maybe?" Zero asked. "These three seem a bit out of our league."

"Nonsense." Ages rolled his eyes. "Anderson, how are you today?"

"Fine, thank you. I trust you can say the same, Ages," the jackal replied.

"Assuming that everyone else was brought here by the same invitation... I'm guessing you don't want to take any chances with whatever's in there." the white wolf commented.

"Ages, I know being polite is your thing, but could we get to the part where you explain why, we're here?" A young black cat in blue jeans, a plain orange T-shirt, a pair of black tennis shoes, and a sword and shield on his back said.

"Yeah, something about some forest." Zak said, getting off Zero's shoulder.

"This whole thing just seems off. Station Square is such a heavily-populated city, and you mean to tell us that nobody else has bothered to assemble a team to venture into the forest?" Rose asked.

"Well my dear, this isn't exactly a 'normal' forest. Plus, with all the hub bub of the mythic ruins in the north, many people forget about the woods to the south. Not to mention that these woods aren't exactly...normal." Ages said and turned back towards the forest. "The castle isn't exactly in plain sight either. It's sort of...lost if you will."

"And that means...?" Zero asked.

"Traverse Forest is known for being really confusing and easy to get lost in. It's big, bigger than the entire city, and the castle happens to be sealed off, but I know the way in." Ages answered.

Eclipse got off of Wheelie. "So, you have a map? Leo said he was good with maps. And girls." Eclipse didn't know that last one was a complete lie (only 7).

"...Something like that, yes." Ages said.

"Well, you have my faith. If we didn't have some sort of plan on how to navigate this forest we probably wouldn't be here." Anderson said.

Ages smiled and turned to the forest. "Alright, well this is everyone. Let's get moving!"

Part 2: Wayward Castle
It felt like they had been trucking through the woods, taking lefts and rights and forwards, and backwards, and occasionally up, for hours to Neo. Ages never once looked at any map or any device. He just kept going as if he knew exactly where the castle was. Never did he make the group go back, and never did he stop to judge where he was, he just kept going. It wasn't until they got to a wide clearing that Ages finally stopped. "We're here." Ages said and stared into the clearing that looked empty.

However there was something there, as Kyrs and Apollo could both see a large, almost unfathomable building in front of them, made of marble white rocks, like it was polished just a few moments ago. The building continuted even when the tall tops of the tress ended, going on for who knows how long. This castle was huge. While Apollo couldn't sense it, any skilled magician or anyone skilled in detection would know that there was something blocking the non-magic users from seeing the castle.

"Wow. I guess if I were to say anything, it'd be 'The castle is in another world!'" Leo said, with Lexi punching him in the arm, hard.

"I suppose you could say that." Ages replied with a bit of an odd looking smile.

"So, is is like a invisible castle or a lava castle?" Zapor said.

"I'm not quite sure I follow." Neo admitted.

"The castle looks like it exists right there, and yet...it doesn't." The boy with the sword and shield said. "What is this?"

"I'm not to sure." Ages admitted. "I have my best people trying to figure it out, but not even they truly understand what it is. The castle is there, and I know how to unlock it, but what may come from it is truly interesting."

"So, we're facing a castle guarded by a force field which makes it invisible to people, which no one knows whats in there? That's actually a smart way to hide something." Zak said.

"All things considered, yes it is quite smart. I wonder who used to live." Ages said, and turned to Anderson and Krys. "You two are both quiet, I thought out of anyone you both would have something to say about this."
