Abondoned Castle

*finally gets to the top of the hill and walks up to the massive door* o.o *looks down where i came from* -from here to where the hill starts, the trees and grass are dead and there's just dust left- creepy... o.O *tries to open the door* *it barely budges* *scowls* curse my lack of strength... *looks around for a window* -its really high- -.- ... more work... oh well... *bends my knees a little and pushes my arms down and i shoot up* *lands in the window* *looks around* wow. this place is a real fix-her-upper... ~its all dark, gloomy and dusty~ *laughs dryly* unfortunetly this probably fits my heart... *jumps down landing safely on the ground* *blends into the shadows perfectly* *explores*

*walks down the halls looking in every room* *finds a place with a bed* im definately staying! *flops down on it* >.< (thinks: its terribly uncomfortable! i knew i should have taken my silk and velvet before i burned that hell pit... even the curtains would have been better!) *gets up and explores furthur*

*walks through every room* a study... *there is about a hundred books* hm... this will be worth further investigating later... *climbs higher*

~the next floor has blood all over the place and every decoration is trashed somehow. it is strangely darker than the floor below. there arn't even rats~
*eyes flicker with interest* *one of my daggers appears in my hand* *walks cautiously down the hall* *hears fluttering* *looks around but i don't see anything* *walks out of the shadows and waits patiently, prepared for an ambush* *i hear a screetch of a bird and suddenly, hundreds of ravens and crows fly out of the darkness at me*
... *waits for them to get closer than puts my arms out making wind rush outward from me making the birds fly back against the walls*
*scans the area in a fight stance, ready for more*
*the birds don't get up*
*walks toward to the closest ones* ... *sees that they're very weak and probably starving*
*takes a badly (attempt) of a skinned rabbit and tosses it behind me*
*the birds rush toward it like they've never eaten in their lives*
me: *watches* ... so you've had a hard life to have you? ...
*the birds keep eating fighting each other for food*
me: ... i'll make you a deal, i'll bring you food regularly if you let me live here and help me protect this castle...
*the birds stop eating* ... *a big crow comes out of the group and stares at me*
me: *open my hand and hold it outwards*
*the crow flies over to me and lands on my shoulder* *takes out a feather and lays it in my hand*
Crow: caw!
me: *smiles* agreed. *puts the feather in my hair and goes outside to find food for them*

*i come back with a large deer* *the birds attack it while im still holding it*
me: O.O wow you guys were hungry... *throws it to the ground and goes downstairs*
*starts to clean the dust and throws the junk i don't want out the window or in a pile so i can sell it*

*cleans for an hour or so* -only gets 1/3 done even with wind and water power- -.- eh... oh well... *looks out the window and sees the sun setting* ... i think i'll go shopping... *gathers up some of the things to sell* *leaves the sack by the door* *climbs up to the Bird's level* *whistles for the leader* *the big crow flies down from the ceiling and lands on my shoulder* ... i think im going to call you Creed... *the bird caws approvingly*
me: ^^ anyway, im going to go shopping. i'll be back in a few days. did i feed you enough?
Creed: Caaaw!
me: good. maybe i'll make enough to get some cornbread or something... *turns and leaves* *the bird flies off and lands in its place on the roof*
*climbs down* *takes my bag and tries the door again* -___- ... screw it. *jumps out the window*

*is walking past the area and sees the castle* hmm looks abandoned....*looks back and sees the sun setting* i should probably stay here for the night.. *walks up toward the main door and pushes it open with a little difficulty* ugh.. *closes it back behind me and looks around and sees the dark, dusty gloominess*

~comes back several days later~
*FINALLY gets up the hill to the door*
*unties the rug off my back*
holy SHIT that is one steep hill >.>
*looks up to the door* *tries to open it and fails* -___-#
*backs up and prepares for a raging wind burst to break it down* ... ugh... i better not... this door probably costs a fortune! @.@ best if it doesn't open... *ties a rope to the rug and jumps into the window* *lands inside* *tries to pull the rug through the window* -fails-
-____-###

*is in the croner of the entrance room youre in sleeping on my cloak with my armor off and neatly placed to the side and durendal is next to meloose in its scabbard* ZZZzzz

-doesn't even notice you-
well... *sigh* guess i need to stop being lazy... *jumps back through the window* *closes my eyes and focuses my energy* ... *lifts the rug up and into the window with wind-levitation* *falls back into the grass* @.@ how troublesome! >.<
~its night~
*looks around* better get my aws inside... i have servants to feed ^^ *takes the bread and dress and climbs through the window a last time for the night* *climbs down* *starts walking out of the room when i sence another presence* *drops my things and draws my daggers*

*hears the things drop and is up with nothing but my greaves on and durendal drawn in a fighting stance walking slowly toward the noise*....

*kicks my things aside and hides in the darkness to see the intruder*

*walks past you after seeing the stuff on the floor and gos into the room opposite you the door closes behind me*

*was about to kill you when you walked past, but you seemed familiar so i hesitated* -its too dark for me to even see you- *i wait for you to come out listening intently*

*a large noise coming from the room startles you and then theres just silence*

*jumps* O.O ... o.O ... *waits for about 30 seconds but my curiosity takes the better of me* *runs into every room looking for some sort of thing i could use for a mirror* ! *finds a shard and runs back* *slides half of it under the door and looks curiously*

*you see me bundled up in a sheet after i tried to cover myself up since i have nothing but greaves and crushed under the chandelier that fell on me*

O___________________________o ... (thinks: was that there before?) >.O *tries to think* *sees creed in the window* *laughs* faithful crow~ *touches the black feather* *opens the door seeing as you couldn't possibly be a threat with a chandelier crashing down on you* *examines the situation* *looks around to your face to see who it is, and if you're alive*

*you see that its just a bunch of sheets wrapped around in pillows and i am behind you with my sword to your back* what are you doing here?

*creed screetches loudly and hundreds of birds fly in surrounding you*
*i clash my daggers with your sword so you can't hurt them* *smiles at the turn of tables* i don't think you're in any position to be asking questions~... *my eyes glow red again* very nice creed! ^^ truly a faithful bird you are~
Creed: caww! ^^ *ruffles his feathers proudly*
me: *turns to you* now who are you? *the clouds move away from the moon and the light shines on you* ! *sees you without you shirt* *my face turns as red as my eyes* u-uh... you. H-h-heath... r-right *turns around taking my daggers back* >.<

Syra? *puts my sword down* what are you doing here, and whos creed?

*doesn't turn around* i live here... *waves my hand and the clouds cover the moon again*
Creed: *caws and flies around as if to say: im creed!*

oh, im sorry i didnt know hehe ^^" *sheathes durendal* why u turned around? o.o

(answer to first thing) quite obviously... *puts my daggers away and turns around*
(answer to other) because you burned my face... -doesn't really understand what blushing is- i thought if i turned around i'd go away -.- *walks into the hall and picks my things off the floor* if you'll excuse me... *walks up to the next level and the birds fly out of the room*

o.O ooook (think-burned her face?....) *walks out of te room and over to my armor and puts it all on then my cloak*...*sighs* its the middle of the night but now i feel like im intruding, i should probably leave
