Sukara: The Words of Power

Akira looked up and smiled at Mia slightly surprised that someone had spoken to her but let out a small laugh at her words''my names Akira''her smile was now more happy as she spoke and she now stopped leaning on the wall and stood up properly''whats your name''

" Im mia if you already havent heard." She said suddenly looking depressed as the realizeation that her sword was missing came flooding back.

OOC: Guys please the Sukara words are special. You can't just say: "Used avoid word vito" You have to actually say: " Vito![Avoid]. If you can't add color at least bold, italic, or underline to make the word stand out. I'm only saying this to alleviate future confusion.

PUT THE WORDS IN A WAY THAT THEY STAND OUT!!!! AND PUT THEY"RE MEANINGS IN PARENTHESES!!!!!!!

I'm not yellign cuz I'm mad, it just seems that some people aren't paying attention. Don't get embarassed. If you do it like everyone else its ok. For the people that have been coloring and everything, thank you.

Note: I think Aegis[Protect] was used, not to open the door, but as protection against something that could come out. It was a good move because-
--------------------------------------------

As the large oaken door swung open, a blast of highly concentrated poison bounced off the shield an ricocheted off the walls. Instantly gaining everyone's attention. Seraphine had ducked and that action had messed up her ponytail, which she had to re-adjust, but at least it was still there.

"Well that was a tizzy,"she said as she peered through the door. Suddenly, the lights overhead wink out; a few moments later, the wall in the side of the room opens into a glowing door. A number pad manifests in the center of the door, the number 4 inexplicably glowing.

Before anything else can happen, a beam of light issues from the 4-key. The resulting laser carves a message in the wall behind you:

"To enter, input 4-digit passcode. If you have forgotten your passcode, press # to show your passcode hint."

Seraphine pressed the # key.

The #-key glows a bright blue; lights spark to life on the door itself, quickly spelling out a few lines of text.

"Four must be found."
"First has one less than itself."
"Second makes twice nothing into twice what you look for."
"Third is two less than third."
"Fourth makes the fundamental question."

[1] [2] [3]
[4] [5] [6]
[7] [8] [9]
[*] [ ] [#]

Giggling,Tamien stood up from being knocked off her feet by the spell on the door.
"Haha,good thing is used that spell on my hand.."
She stared at the hint given by the door pad.
"I think the Second one is four...but the others have me stumped."

Brothorn looked at the text.
"Oh, great. . .Riddles. My fave. . ." he said sarcastically.
Why does it have to be riddles? Why can't it be a strength test or something? I definitely don't belong in this group. He said to himself. Brothorn just stood back and watched, hoping the others would figure it out.

"Four must be found."
"First has one less than itself." 1-1=0
"Second makes twice nothing into twice what you look for." 8/2x0=0
"Third is two less than third." 2-3= 1
"Fourth makes the fundamental question."

fundamental can mean primary so 1 is primary so 1st question is 0
or 1st question being to find the FOUR so ots either
0010
or 0014

Thea wasn't paying attention. All she saw was that prissy snot that called itself Mia.
'Well someone woke up with a dragon in their ass this morning,' Thea thought wryly. 'Threaten me, will she? Well she'll find i'm not helpless if she tries anything.'
Riddle? Why were they trying to solve a riddle? Thea just became aware that the the group was trying to figure some sort of puzzle out.
"Bloody hell, this is rediculous," she said sourly. One characteristic that most people found offensive about her was the fact that she saw no problem with speaking her mind. She saw no reason for lying about casual things and so spoke everying bluntly. "I don't know how you're expected to know what this is. I mean, these could have so many meanings. 'First has one less than itself', for instance. True that could mean 1-1=0 but couldn't it also mean that the number has '1' less than itself? meaning that would be 2?"

" Oh yea great you are really helping! Newsflash the world doesnt revolve around you and what you think the important thing we should concentrate on now is the riddle not our smug ass attitudes!!" She said become increaseingly angry at thea. She had never been this mad at one person before but this was rediculous.

Makla · Post by **Makla** » Wed Jun 28, 2006 1:48 pm

"I wasn't talking to you, prissy britches!" Thea shot back. She glared daggers at Mia. "You keep saying that 'I'm' the one with the attitude problem but i think that the next time you say something alone those lines you should be saying it to a mirror. You're the one with the pissy, i'm-better-than-you attitude!"

"stop fighting we dont need this, now just think it could be 4-1=3 aswell but im just going for the obvious answer becaus the guards look a bit thick"

Makla · Post by **Makla** » Wed Jun 28, 2006 2:10 pm

"Guards? What guards?" Thea looked around. I see an empty room and that bloody door. Oh, and Miss Tight-cheek's ego. It's so large i can hardly see anything else!" She wasn't going to let Mia have this one.

Akira · Post by **Akira** » Wed Jun 28, 2006 2:40 pm

Akira watched the two argueing before finally stepping forward''um maybe you shouldnt be fighting now we are all stuck in the same situation here maybe yous two should just try to avoid each other for now before something happens''

Makla · Post by **Makla** » Wed Jun 28, 2006 2:47 pm

"Butt out, dragon dung!" She shoved Akira to the side. "This is between me and Posh Pants! Nobody has the right to speak to me the way she does! Especially criminals!!"

Seraphine saw what was about to happen. She felt a growing sense of helplessness as both girls spun into a maelstrom of wrath. She felt a small tug at her consciousness and recognized it for what it was...so she welled up her courage grasped it and spewed out the first word that came to mind.

"SEDO![Calm]"

A lightning crack resounded across the room and everyone felt their energy drain until only Seraphine was standing. After all the thuds stopped happening she realized she learned a new Word...but sedated her companions. She had a mental congradulation that was watered down with the fact that she might be in trouble.

"Guys! I'm sorry, but I had to do something! I'm pretty sure our weapons are in that safe, but we need to get the 4-digit passcode. The hints are in order, so..."

"what happend to them" said armotag after coming back from a walk "i just went for a stroll and i come back to see that youve drained their energy GOD, dont worry i wont tell them it was you lets blame a guard"

Taluscion · Post by **Taluscion** » Wed Jun 28, 2006 3:07 pm

Seraphine gave him a look.

"It was a Sukara word I used, and they're not unconcious...I just put a little to much feeling into the a Word."

She looked around.

"I didn't mean for all of you to go down, I just wanted to stop the fighting!"

Thea was about ready to give Mia a smack across the face when she suddenly found that she had no energy to do so. Her legs gave out and she crumpled to the floor.
Her thoughts felt jumbled and sluggish. What had happened. Seraphine had said something but Thea had ignored it. Trying to push herself up, she grumbled, "Bloody magic. I've had my fill of it."

Taluscion · Post by **Taluscion** » Wed Jun 28, 2006 3:11 pm

Seraphine walked over to Thea to help her to her feet, since Mia was out cold. As soon as her hand grasped the other girl's arm, it seemed she regained some of her control, as soon as she was up, she flicked her arm out of Sera's grasp and grumbled.

"I'm sorry..." started Seraphine. "If it helps...?"

Makla · Post by **Makla** » Wed Jun 28, 2006 3:17 pm

"You're sorry..." she smirked wryly. "About what, trying to knock us all out or getting us all imprisoned? From my recollection, it's your fault that we're in here." For some reason, Thea felt slightly guilty about talking that way to Seraphine. Slightly. "Look, all i want is to get out of here. Help do that and i'll forgive you, fair?" She smiled in what she hoped was a friendly manner. "Now about his riddle..."

Taluscion · Post by **Taluscion** » Wed Jun 28, 2006 3:20 pm

Seraphine was a bit unnerved by the way of speech, but she tried not to show it. After all, it was her fault in the first place.

"Deal," she replied happily, hoping Thea didn't notice.

She turned back to the keypad. "How let's see...if someone believes they have the answer, they could try to put it in..."

Makla · Post by **Makla** » Wed Jun 28, 2006 3:22 pm

"I believe i recall someone mentioning 0010 or 0014. I personally think its a crap-shot but its all we have at the moment."

Taluscion · Post by **Taluscion** » Wed Jun 28, 2006 3:24 pm

"Er...do..you want to enter it? Or...should I do it?" Seraphine asked warily.

Makla · Post by **Makla** » Wed Jun 28, 2006 3:26 pm

"What, afraid? They're buttons, for Ayran's sake! What are they going to do, bite off your fingers? The worst that could happen is that the code is wrong and the door won't open."

Tamien look around at the others.First,Thea and Mia were argueing,then Sera used a new word and they fell to the floor.She was also puzzled at why she had only felt slightly drowsy.Waiting for the others to work out the code,she crouched down and started to draw with a claw in the stone.At first,they doodle was a circle,then she added more and more complicated geomectric shapes.When she finally finished,it looked a bit like the circles her mother had used in the shrine back at her village to summon fire or water.It was magic she used,but a completely different one to the kind Sera used.For one,she used symbols and never used words,whereas Sera spoke to make the magic take form.What did her mother call it?Nejiikah?Tamien shook her head,unable to find the right word.Suddenly she blurted out
"My mother used magic.But different to Sukara.Do you thinks that's why I'm a Wielder,Sera?"
