Without it, kinda hard to.. well. you know. there's nothing there. Damn that Charlie and his shite potion! One of these days!!!!

Yup, nasty ol' Gates and his self-serving system won't allow me to add smileys if I use Netscape..next time I'll try and open it with IE (yes, I have both..) and see how it works. I hope the others can get in, at least to read or post pics!

Gabriel, excellent story by the way, nice recovery . I left the first part open-ended for you, so I am glad you took the bait second time around. OK, since you were nice to me, I will return the favour ...

NICE???? I thought I painted him as the insanely jelous lover, who was hunting me for no reason. well that was the plan.

Gabriel - Stealth seems to be holding out on us again. Ladyzekke tries once again to touch Gabriel's wings, but he'll having nothing of it. (sigh) "Guess I'll go look for seashells or something..."

Stealthy · 03-09-2001, 09:48 PM

As Stealthy charged towards Gabriel, LadyWendy tried to come between them, but it was too late! The claymore screamed through the air as the enraged Stealthy's marrow in Stealthy's bones, pounded with his bloodlust. Gabriel stood calmly, awaiting his fate, a serene peace emanated from him and those who knew him of old, were reminded of how he used to be. At the last moment, the Black Knight thrust his Greatsword in the path of the swinging blade and knocked it aside. Stealthy fell to the floor, the exertion had been to much for him in his weakened state.

'Stealthy, you must listen' said the Black Knight. 'Gabriel saved you and he came here in peace. I am a Paladin and cannot lie and equally I sense no evil intent in Gabriel. Let him speak his piece.'

Gabriel, opened his eyes and appeared to stare into the distance as he spoke.
'I too was a paladin once, but my love for LadyWendy blinded me and I fell out with my best friend. I lost my way and was turned away from the only home I had ever known. The love I saw in Stealthy's eyes, as he lay dying in Lady Wendy's arms, brought me to my senses. My love for her cost me my dearest friend, I will not let her cost another innocent his life. I came to warn you of Lady Wendy, but in reality it was our own folly. I see that now and I wish to make ammends.'

Stealthy looked at him and he realised he spoke the truth. But deep inside his heart, where the last vestige of life lurked, his soul cried out for blood. He struggled to fight back this feeling and eventually managed it. But it was getting ever more difficult as time went by.

'Gabriel, my friend the Black Knight trusts you and hence, so will I. But know this, if you ever threaten my Lady or I, or speak ill of her, I will be there to strike you down before you utter the last word. For now, I will sheath my sword and bid you welcome, in the name of my friendship for our hosts.'

'Thank you' said Gabriel and as he smiled, he seemed for an instance to glow, as if from an inner light. The others stared at each other and Black Knight said 'There is hope yet, it may not be too late. Let us go back to the castle and we will feast in celebration of things to come and frienships re-newed.'

At the banquet, Stealthy had time to dwell on the events of the last few weeks, as he no longer needed to eat to maintain his half-life. He remembered how he had met Jerome one night, shortly after he had met the Lady Wendy and had been entranced by her singing and dancing. They had quickly fallen in love for he had never met anyone with her love of life and she was enthralled by this Laird from a distant country, who knew no fear and who's love for her was absolute. Jerome's jealousy had rotted his soul and he had fallen oh so very far. He had attacked Stealthy from behind and had used some dark and fell magics to turn him into some unholy form of undead. Yet his soul was trapped in his still beating heart. He remembered Jeromes words clearly:

'Fool, the Lady Wendy is mine and mine alone! Soon she will see that we were ordained to be together for the rest of our lives. I have power now, more power than you can imagine for I am THE MIGHTY CAPS LOCK KING and all lower cases will bow before me! Let's see if the Lady Wendy still loves you in your new form! Killing you would be to kind, so I will let you live by keeping your heart and soul alive so you can see her disgust in her eyes when she next sees you.'

With that he had turned away, leaving Stealthy lying amonst the festering remains of his flesh. Eventually he had recovered, but the look of horror in Lady Wendy's face when she saw him, had made the recovery slow and painful. However, despite his hideous appearance, Lady Wendy still loved him and she had stayed by his side. But, Stealthy couldn't bare to be close to her for long, as the pain of being unable to fully show his love for her was destroying him. Jerome had known this and was counting on Stealthy to fall as he had done. But Stealthy's love had kept him strong and he had resisted. Until now. The blood rages came more frequently and soon his anger would be so strong that he would destroy all around him.

That night he decided to leave all his friends behind and start a new life, far away from them all. He packed a few belongings and waited until everyone was asleep. As he crept stealthily out into the moonlit fields around the castle, he heard a twig snap close by. He turned and saw Gabriel standing by a row of crosses, praying. Stealthy stopped and looked at Gabriel in suprise.
'What brings you here at this time of night?' he asked.
Gabriel looked up in shock. A puzzled look on his face, slowly gave way to one of sadness. 'These are the graves of the Knights of the Holy Flame who perished because of my actions all those years ago. I am praying for their souls and my forgiveness. I have decided to seek Jerome out and make ammends.'

At that Stealthy started 'Jerome, that hellish fiend is the cause of my current state. I would kill him with my bare hands if I could. Do you know where he is hiding?'

Gabriel looked at him with pity in his eyes and said 'Your anger and hatred consumes you. You must be strong to resist this magic, for my time with Memnoch taught me that this curse slowly rots your soul, until you become a true undead, a lich of unbelievable might and thoroughly corrupt. You must fight the evil and resist temptation or his plan will succeed. I do not know where he hides, but I see now what I must do. You and I must seek him out so that you might be saved and he also. Only by doing this can all 3 of us be returned to our former states. Let us return now, for we must prepare to leave in the morning to seek Jerome and bid our farewells.

Stealthy looked at Gabriel for a minute as the conflict within him raged. He wanted to destroy Gabriel, but he knew this was driven by Jerome's hatred of him and so he fought the desire down. Eventually the rage died and he said to Gabriel:

'I am not so sure this is such a good idea. My soul cries out to be released and yet my fibre tells me to kill you. I do not know how much longer I can control this curse, but it seems that I have no choice, for if I stay here, I will eventually become so corrupt, that I will destroy those I love. For the love of Lady Wendy I would do anything and so I agree, we leave in the morning to seek out Jerome. What will happen when we find him, I do not know.'

Gabriel smiled briefly, but a shadow fell over his face as he replied 'One other thing, we have both crossed Memnoch and he will be after revenge. We must take care that we do not meet him, as I doubt we could defeat him. Your victory last time was but short-lived. Had he wanted, he could have killed you both. I am not exactly sure why he didn't and that worries me. Let us hope we never find out'

With that they walked slowly back to the castle side by side. An alliance born out of hatred for each other and forged out of a common goal to find Jerome and rescue all of themselves from eternal damnation.

Far away, a huge red hand held a dragons skull filled with fresh blood. In the dark reflection, Stealthy and Jerome could be seen walking towards a castle. A deep, unpleasant laugh echoed around the vast hallway, battering the flames in the braziers and sending the smoke to the corners of the mighty fortress. Memnoch turned to Jerome and said:

'The fools come, make ready for their arrival. I suspect that they will soon realize where you are and if not we shall send Jerome to lead them here. My plan proceeds exactly as I predicted'...

LadyZ, It seems the stories are always waiting on someone, not that i mind, i discoved a amusing game involing the stop button.

Gabriel · 03-09-2001, 10:01 PM

Oh the next part is here......Very nice, Jerome hunting?... I take it this is the end of the tale? Unless we get Jerome in here.

I wonder if we are annoying BK, I mean he has to include this in his story.

Ladyzekke is happy!

Ladyzekke sits on a large flat rock and bites her lower lip, eyes locked on StealthLove.

The StormQueen was in a rage. She paced the length of the Great Room and things flew from the tables mantlepiece and walls. Tapestries blew to and fro as she cried in a voice akin to a summer storm, "WHERE is my sister's love? Bring me a mage! Bring the Guards! I will have my answers!" Outside, the black clouds gathered, winds howled and the seas grew rough.

The household staff tread lightly that day and waited for the Lord of the manor to return. Twas well known on the estate that few could calm a raging StormQueen. The ladyWendy was bereft and could not be consoled, herself. The servants tread lightly, indeed. A call went out for the brave knights and powerful mages who swore fealty to the StormQueen and her Lord Black Knight, but none had as yet arrived.

Hi Gabriel, I have tried to tie it back in again as best I could after the carnage I wraught earlier! I see it happening after your fall out with Jerome, which he told in flashback and before his Chapter 6. Hey, I made you a nice guy again, you should be happy!

Off to bed now, feel free to add the next chapter, its more fun that way.
