I'll do what I can.

Same as Sono But I call Sight if i join.

I'll try to be rituals because I like bloody sacrifices and age old practices in stories.

Sample Ch. 2

Influence and one of his subjects were frantically going around the study. "Ah, where did I put that spell book." Several books, tomes, and scrolls were scattered across the floor, which would be a problem had they not been able to fly. "Sir, I found it." Grif held up a book with the words "Spell Book" scrawled on the cover. "Good good." Influence floated over and took the book, making sure it was the right one this time. "... Yeah, this is it." Grif waved his finger and all the books flew back to their places on the shelves. "Now, I think it's best that I return to Sight and Ritual." Grif nodded, and left. Influence flew out towards the Holy Chamber.

Slink of the Sight branch in Apocrea yawned as he looked over the Plateau. As an assigned tower guard, Slink got to sit in one of the spires that were around the main Halls of Apocrea. His good vision made him apt for the job, and as he was finding out. It was very boring. Slink fingered his Carbine, wishing he could use it. "Augh, this is dull." He complained to no one, as he was the only one occupying the room. Once more he swept his gaze over the gravestone ridden plateau, hoping to see something important. When he saw nothing, he decided to take out his small spell-book. Slink had always liked ranged weapons, and was trying to create an Apocrean Rifle. Slink selected a tome, and muttered it under his breath like an incantation. Staring intently at his carbine, he finished his chant, and waved his hand over the pistol. It glowed purple, and its barrel elongated. When it stopped glowing, Slink was staring at an Obsidian Rifle. Slowly a grin spread across his face. It had worked! It had finally worked! He ran a hand over the rifle, and lifted it off the ground. Testing the sighting on the gun, he shot at a gravestone. The grave exploded into dust as the bullet slammed into it. Slink smiled even more. He heard commotion below, and decided to go check it out. Attaching the new rifle to his back, Slink descended the stairs to the main hall. A few of the Apocrean disciples were tallking about something. He walked unnoticed to the side of the group, and leaned against the wall.

"Are you sure there is a new mission coming up." One spoke in a hushed voice.

Another replied, "Yes I'm sure, I heard the Commander say that they were going to need a couple warriors from each Branch."

Hm, this sounds interesting. Slink thought to himself as he walked away. Coming to a decision, Slink moved towards the command room, to request a position on the mission.

Info on Character:

Name: Slink
Gender: Male

Appearance: Obsidian Hood of Sight, Obsidian Mantle of sight, Dread Skelly Shield almost always on his back.

Gear: Obsidian Rifle: A rifle version of the Carbine but more powerful shots in exchange for only three shots at a time instead of six. Obsidian Crusher used for close quarters, but Slink favors his rifle.

Special Skills/Powers: Overview-Vision: Slink's eyes focus so that he can see crystal clear and differentiate enemy from friend, not by appearance, but by loyalty. It lasts for about a minute, and has a cooldown time of five hours.

Personality: Slink is an observant Disciple. As well as being strategic and calculating. He doesn't know much magic, so he prefers his weapons. As a member of the Sight branch, Slink is supposedly able to see visions but he hasn't seen much of anything from the future, past, or present.

History: Slink was put in the sight branch due to his accurate vision, but he wasn't good at seeing visions, just regular seeing. In the sight branch, Slink learned the ways of the Apocrea and recieved his choice of the three Obsidian weapons. Picking the two that suited him the most, Slink began his training with them. Over time, Slink gained considerable accuracy and precision with the carbine, but never got used to the bomb.

Your chapter 2 is the real chapter 2, so I have to write now.

Avalyn and her squad trekked through the dusty and smoke-ridden battlefield. Broken spears and banners lined the hills, the corpses of dead soldiers still clutching them in rigor mortis. She had to deal with recruits, which was what she hates.

'A couple of novices from Sight, and only half baked soldiers from Influence and Devotion...' She thought. 'Why am I always paired with guys like this...' Then, in the distance the was movement, and a glint of red.

"Get down!" She shouted, and rolled behind a rock. Some of the others were fast enough to get behind cover, but others weren't as lucky. They were shredded by a barrage of Kat gunfire. One of the recruits was already trembling in cowardice.

"Pull yourself together soldier!" She whispered harshly. Avalyn pointed at the gunman from Sight. "You there, what's you're name?"

"Slink, ma'am."

"See that hill there?" She pointed. "Get over there and provide some cover fire while we advance." Avalyn ordered. "Got it?" Sight nodded, and scrambled over to the hill. Then she turned to the rest of the soldiers.

"Three of you go into groups. Sight, you're with me and Grif. Now move!" They charged out of cover and fired at their attackers, dropping them dead like stones from a cliff. The Kats, their hollow eyes blazing with bloodlust, returned fire. Avalyn, took a deep breath, and vanished. The Kats were dumbfounded, giving Sight and Grif a chance to shoot some of them down.

Avalyn reappeared behind another Kat, cutting it in two, and pouncing on another one. The other groups were having a harder time though. The Kats were driving the recruits back, and one of the recruits got cornered. He screamed as the Kats gnawed his flesh, but Grif shot the Kats in the back before he was dead.

"We need a hand over here!" He called. As they helped the wounded soldier retreat, Avalyn and Sight were fighting the enemy deep within the battlefield.

The Kats, their billowing hoods and ragged capes, fell as Avalyn sliced through them. Sight threw fire and an array of magic at is enemies. The Kats were losing badly, and soon the small outpost was captured. They had managed to capture the leader of the outpost as well.

"Any last words, hmm Kat?" Avalyn asked. "Before I end your worthless life?" The Kat screeched in defiance.

"Very well." She whipped her sword across the Kat's neck, spraying his viscera across the wall. Avalyn took out her communication obelisk, about the size of a coffee mug. An image of Commander Thallis popped up.

"I see you've taken the enemy garrison and put an end to the assault." He said. "Excellent work. However, the rest of the enemy forces are still coming. Utilize the outpost as a defense center, we will be sending more troops soon. Good luck." The image dissolved in a purple haze, and Avalyn put the obelisk away.

'Now I have to train these recruits with the little spare time we have...Just great.'

The Kat soldier kneelt before Margrel, who sat on his throne, legs crossed and his fiery eyes focused upon him.

"My liege, the platoon you sent to the West Plateau are making steady advance." The Kat said. "We shall have control over that area in four days at most."

"Excellent." Margrel seethed. His voice was as deep as the darkest crag in the Clockworks. "Make sure nothing goes wrong, all shall kneel before the fist of Margrel."

"Excellent." Margrel seethed. His voice was as deep as the darkest crag in the Clockworks. "Make sure nothing goes wrong, all shall kneel before the fist of Margrel. What of the Eastern Plateau platoon. What of them."

"Well My leige..." the soldier started.

"Daddy! Daddydaddydaddydaddydaddydaddy!" a shrill voice shouted, "DADDY!!!!!!"

"Huh? AAH!" Margrel screamed as the very tiny white and cream cat juped on him, "Dawn?"

"Daddy!" Dawn screamed, excitedly, "Daddy? Can we play now?"

"Dawn I have no time to play, I'm planning a war here. Run along and go pester, I mean play with your brother Shade," Margrel seethed,highly annoyed.

"I haven't seen him in two weeks," Dawn said calmly, "How can I play with him if he's not here?"

"TWO WEEKS!!!!!" Margrel screamed and turned to the soldier, "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THIS!!!!!"

"My liege, in all honesty," the soldier said, "I thought you knew."
The second this was said, an evil smile grew on Margrel's face. He had an evil plan.

"Dawn dear," Margrel began, "Would you do daddy a favor?"

"Of course Daddy!" Dawn said.

"Go find your brother. Here use these," Margrel said, putting some goggles on Dawn's bright blue eyes, "They'll lead you to him."

"Okay Daddy!" Dawn said, and hurried on her way.

A few hours later after following the trail of Shade's essence. Dawn found herself in a new, scary place. Totems and Obelisks made of this strange black stone floated around her. Then, she looked up and saw a tower, she quickly became terrified. Not of the tower. No, no, no. She was afraid of what was in it. Inside the tower stood a dark figure with three red, glowing eyes, and it had it's gun pointed right at her. Dawn quickly remembered what to do in this situation and started charging her energy. Once she was ready, she fired a blast of light out of herself, temporarily blinding the figure allowing to cover. Dawn was only sure of one thing now, she had to find Shade. She quickly rushed in through the door of the building the essence trail led her to, and took cover she followed the trail into a dark corner...

"Shade?" Dawn whispered, "Shade? I'm scared."

"It's okay," a voice said, as a kat drew out of the darkness. "You're with me now," Shade said.

"Soldier!" the apocrean commander screamed, "Soldier get up! What are you doing on the ground! Explain yourself!"

"Well sir," he began "there was this kat, and I was ready to shoot it, but then it started glowing, and then there was this flash and..."

"Save it for Devotion," the commander said.

What about you Doomskull, you wrote chapter one. you are the gm...

I'll write up may next chapter tonight!

Write up an app, and along with it write a sample chapter to show your writing skills. :D

Hey anyone sorry for the delay of may chapter but I has question. Did the outpost we just took over, is it on the east side of the plateau or the west...

Slink yawned and rubbed his eyes. He was on guard duty again. The Spookat outpost was a substantial holding point for the moment, so as they waited for reinforcements, their commander Avalyn decided to train some of the trainees. Leaning sideways on his rifle, Slink sighed as the dullness of watchguard settled over him. For the umpteenth time, he sweeped his gaze slowly over the desolete plain of apocrea, scattered tombstones decorated the black ground. A thought dawned on Slink, If Kats were occupying this outpost, then wouldn't someone know that it was taken? Maybe this post has a beacon on it, better suggest this to Commander. He reached up to his headset and flicked it on.

"Slink here, might want to check if there if there is transmitting beacon somewhere in this outpost. Just a suggestion, thought you should know..." He flicked it off and let out another sigh of boredom.

He checked his rifle, making sure that it was working at peak proficiency. It was, so he settled his arms on the guardrail of his tower. His eyes drooped threatening to put him to sleep. Blinking hard to stay awake, Slink looked around for something to keep him awake. He noticed a small book in the corner of the room. Picking it up, he read the cover, 'Book of Spells' there was the symbol of the Kat Klan on the cover. Funny, the book was from before the Kataclysm, someone must have left it here. Slink hesitated before he opened the book, should he be doing this? Curiosity got the better of him, and he flipped to the index. Before the Kats had beem transformed, they had different types of warriors. He found the page for the Kat gunner spells, and flipped to said page. Disappointment filled Slink's mind as he read about Kat 'gunners.' They actually are more of a grenadier, throwing small explosive bombs. Only elite kats had any sort of artillery.

Slink's eyes widened as he found a spell, labeled: Overview-Vision (Elite Gunners ONLY): Heightens vision to that of an Owlite, allowing for greater range when shooting. Lasts for 5 minutes, can use only once every 5 hours

He committed the small incantation to memory, going over it in his head. Pocketing the small book, Slink hefted his rifle, and muttered the spell under his breath. Almost instantly, his vision heightened, sighting a far off tombstone, Slink aimed, sighted, and fired. Watching the bullet fly off towards his target. The tombstone exploded and Slink grinned. He practiced his aim, and after the five minutes passed, he felt his vision return to normal. Definitely not bored anymore, Slink took out the book, and leaned against a support beam, reading the spellbook.

* * * (Insert 'Long time later' sign from cartoons)

Slink closed the book, and looked up. Nothing. Feeling the familiar sensation of boredom creeping up his body, Slink decided to see if he could hit something from even farther off. He shouldered the rifle and looked down the sights, and saw movement. He lowered his rifle, blinking to make sure he wasn't seeing things. There was an entire platoon of Spookats, slowly making their way towards the outpost, he could just barely see them.

Slink quickly flicked his headset on, "Enemy incoming! It's an entire platoon of Spookats! About a kilometer away! Advancing fast!"

Raising his rifle, he readied for battle.

Seems legit.

Though I noted I was a captain of a squad so maybe I just bring them to the fight?

Almost forgot! I will start as soon as I can.
