Legends of Akena

Akena is a land of many faces. The land lives together in peace, the bad in the world all locked behind a large gate.

But the world does not live in peace for long. As everyone goes about their happy lives, the demons locked away behind that gate, that Gate of Darkness, are planning their revenge. Revenge for locking them away.

Are there any heroes out there that can stop the demons before it's too late?

Akena
Akena is probably as large as half of North America.
I will add a map later on.

Fort Rankin is in the southeast, where the humans dwell.
It's the most updated place, though there's still no light bulbs or cars. It's very busy, and quite large. There are many streets. On the main, more busy streets, there are usually shops, cafes, inns, and small houses. On the smaller, less busy streets are usually the very expensive restaurants and large houses for wealthy people.
Surrounding Fort Rankin is a large, heavy-duty stone wall. In the past, long ago, the city was attacked by demons, so they people decided to build a wall. It's currently a very safe place.

Lumenia is the home of the angels in the northeast.
Though it's a popular spot for people to travel and sightsee, not anyone can get it.
A large gate, which can see the purity of peoples hearts, only let in, well, pure hearted people. This means demons, and Lord Zagato can't get near there. It's a safe haven. The safest place in Akena.

Lake of Gelbor, a lake from regular eyes. Though when you take a dive underwater it's like a whole other world. Many sea creatures live down in the mysterious waters. The lake is right in between Lumenia and Melrock forest in the north.

Melrock Forest is the mysterious forest that divides Akena into two. It runs from the northern shore down to the southern shore. It's thick, and people never travel in there unless they're highly skilled at keeping themselves alive. Melrock forest is a dangerous place, for all of the deadliest creatures live in there.
The north-most part of the forest is called the Borderline, where the feline tribe lives. The domestic and civil creatures. Half human, half cat, and very protective over there territory.
In the south of the forest is where Zagato's castle is, in which used to be the kings.

Morish is the dark land.
The demons live there in the east, trapped behind a large gate of darkness. It's like the gate of light, only opposite effects. Which means only evil, cruel and sickening people can get in.
The gate of darkness was made to hold the demons in, but lately some of the demon breeds have mutated and sprouted wings.

City of Melandru holds the elves.
They welcome visitors in, and are considered the smarter species. The city is large and round. If anyone was seeking knowledge, they would come here.

Caves of Bhelrock is in the south between Fort Rankin and Melrock Forest. It's a very large cave, in which the Dragons have taken over. you see dragons flying across the plains a lot, though they always come back to their nest.

Plains cover the rest of Akena, in between the major locations. Usually very bright, and you can see nothing but lush grass for miles. It's nice having the wind in your hair, but you have to be stocked up in food. There are a few mountains as well. A lot near Morish.

Currency
The currency in Akena is in Copper, Silver and Gold.
Copper is around a dollar.
Silver is about five dollars.
Gold is around ten dollars.

So, if you were to buy a new sword.
Maybe its around, one hundred fifty dollars.
It would be fifteen gold.
Or thirty silver.

(( Hey, sorry I had to delete your post. And if you'd like, your character can be some sort of villian. :] ))

((OOC: well she can't be a demon. o.O I know, she'll help them defeat the demons then play traitor cause she's mean like that.))

(( Lolol, okay. The original RP for this I had on Gaia Online, and it got like 300 pages before it died. It also had a princess who lost her memories and an evil over lord, but I decided that those are too cliche and so I took them out.

Make sure to check out the map of Akena I drew like 2 years ago. =D ))

((OOC: I'm looking at it. It's a nice map. Shall we get this party started? I think it'd be best if you posted first.))

Kaoru raced through the forest.

Those damn dogs and their games. What was fun to them, was most definitely not fun to him. He cursed himself inwardly at his slowness. He knew that those dogs were catching up. He was running as fast as he could, the little wind that got down into the dark woods brushing past his face. He found a tall tree and raced up it. He sat atop a high branch, huffing.

He didn't know how much more of those dogs he could take. He sighed and rested his head against the trunk of the tree. The dogs wouldn't get him up here.

An arrow shot the first one to enter the clearing.

Kaoru eyed the dogs that were now filling into the small clearing of Melrock Forest. He suddenly saw something flash by, and suddenly an arrow had taken one of the dogs out. Okay, he wasn't sure what was going on, but he was sure that he could probably take them on now. There was one less of them. He dropped down from the tree and landed ground. Only two were left.

Kaoru held his arms up, picking up two boulders, and hurling them at the two dogs that were running for him. He wasn't sure if that was enough to knock them out, but at least they would be injured.

Another arrow hit one of the dogs, not fatally, and they were wounded.

Lith came out of a nearby tree and looked at him.

"They giving you trouble?"

"Yes, but they're not aware of it," He sighed and looked at the girl. "Thank you for your help," He bowed and smiled to her.

"I think we should get out of here before they get back up," He suggested as he brushed off some leaves and dirt from his clothes. They had gathered there on his run, and his clothes were even tattered a bit,but he didn't mind.

"Sounds good."

She checked their pulses.

"They'll live. They'll go home battered and beaten. But they'll live. Good."

She looked at him.

"Follow me." She started leading him through the woods.

The woods were dark, and very little light got through the thick canopy of tree tops. Monsters who live in the forest (because humans usually don't go there) never see the clear sky, unless they find clearings in the woods. Kaoru followed behind the girl.

"I'm Kaoru by the way," He said after he realized he had not introduced himself yet.

"Lith," she said simply, "I live in a cabin in these woods."

((OOC: what sort of monsters? *likes the ideas of monsters very much indeed*))
