Plot post 1: [u][i]The Disappearance[/i][/u]
*It was early morning in the Dojo, about six am. The air was cool and humid, and the sky was cloudy. The grass was covered in morning dew. A few crickets were still chirping but they were drowned out by the calls which started echoing through the Dojo. It was a familiar male voice with a thick Sphirinian accent.. Vorim'Tairn walks through the Dojo, calling out for Sketch.*
[u][b]Skeeeeeetch!!! Wheerrree arrre yooouuu!?!?!? SKEEEEEEEEEEEETCH!!!!![/b][/u]
*He reaches the cardboard box that sits right next to the inside of the entrance and starts banging on the front.*
[u][b]Sapphire come out![/b][/u]
*Sapphire walks out, still wearing her pajamas and yawning. She sounds extremely annoyed as she speaks and swishes her tail impatiently.*
[u]Vorim, I'm tryna sleep. What's the matter?[/u]
[u][b]I can't find Sketch![/b][/u]
[u]What do you mean you can't find Sketch? He's probably off with Leyla or something.[/u]
[u][b]It's Monday. We always stay up on Sunday nights and watch the Dojo together... We're brothers, it's our thing.[/b][/u]
[u]It's Monday? I thought it was Friday...[/u]
[u][b]That's not the point. He never misses it, not even for Leyla.[/b][/u]
[u]You're getting too worked up about this. You already follow him around half the time because you can't just walk up to people and start conversations on your own. I don't believe that it really scares you that much to-[/u]
[u][b]SHUT UP![/b][/u]
*Vorim looks like he's about to cry.*
[u][b]Just help me look for him!!![/b][/u]
[u]Okay, okay. Calm down. Just let me change my clothes.[/u]
*She goes back into the box, slamming the door. He just stands there, looking around with an extremely distressed expression on his face.*
[spoiler]Open![/spoiler]

"I'm Baxter. A Knight in the Legion of Dight." [b]Underneath his helmet the man was grinning [/b] "And the person helping? It's going to be Royal.
-
[u][b]R-Royal? I know h-him. He's one of Sk-Sketch's friends...[/b][/u] *He adjusts uncomfortably and keeps looking at the ground.* [b][u]W-Where is he?[/u][/b]
-
"I can take you to him. Have him help."
-
[u][b]O-Okay, but we n-need to wait f-for S-Sapphire.[/b][/u]
-
"No problem."
-
[u][b]Th-Thanks.[/b][/u] *Sapphire steps out of the box and sees the knight.* [u]Who are you?[/u]
-
"Magrim. A friend of Royal." [spoiler]I meant Magrim not. Baxter sorry [/spoiler]
-
[u]Oh, lemme guess. He wants you to help him find Sketch too? Vorim, this is nonsense.[/u] [u][b]He's m-my brother! I love h-him! You're his c-cousin, y-you should care![/b][/u]
-
"Sketch is a friend."
-
[u]Fine, fine... So, where are we going to start?[/u] *Vorim turns towards Magrim, expectantly.*
-
"Maybe he's at the village? Dojoville? Or exploring?
-
Edited by Skatch142: 9/14/2016 5:01:17 PM[u][b]I-I don't know... Maybe...[/b][/u] [u]See Vorim? I doubt he's gone. Come on, let's go.[/u] *She grabs him by the ear and he whimpers in pain as she starts pulling him towards wherever Royal is.*
-
[b]The Dojo gates swing open, and we begin towards Dojoville [/b] "The Dight's home is in the village."
-
[u]Oh, okay.[/u] *She changes direction, walking past him and towards the village, dragging Vorim with her. Vorim silently mouths [i]Help me![/i] to Magrim.*
-
[b]Magrim shakes his head slightly and keeps walking. We go through some Dojoville alley ways, not wanting to be stopped by tourists or anything. We come across a gateway of sorts [/b] "Ready?"
-
*As you start getting closer to the village, you think you hear shouting. Sapphire and Vorim don't seem to notice though considering Vorim is trying to get her to let go of him and he screams as she shakes his ear to get him to stop.*
-
[spoiler]???? Am confused [/spoiler] "be quiet!" [b]He shushes the two [/b]
-
Edited by Skatch142: 9/14/2016 5:40:20 PM[spoiler]You just continued all the way into the village. I probably should have told you when I replied with that, but you can't go to the village without starting the next part of this post.[/spoiler] [u]What?[/u] *Sapphire finally lets go and he stumbles back, rubbing his ear. Her ears perk up when she hears the noise coming from the village.* [u]Is that shouting?[/u]
-
[spoiler]Oooooh. I'd say I figure it out but I didn't xD Twas an accident [/spoiler] "Yeah it is. From the village."
-
[u][b]L-Let's go then![/b][/u] *He starts running down towards the village.*
-
[b]Magrim sprints after him, drawing his sword [/b]
-
*You realize that they aren't shouts, but rather screams of terror.*
-
[b]He keeps running, going for the source [/b]
-
*People line the streets, parents are forcing their children back into their houses. They are all watching Sketch being dragged up the street, unconscious. But what's dragging him is even scarier and more disturbing. A black figure, seemingly made of some pitch black liquid is is dragging him. Its whole body is rippling and sections of it seem to remove themselves, hover in one place and then reattach in the same place. A grey aura surrounds it and tiny droplets of the black liquid float upwards off of it and disappear.* [u]Oh my god what is that?![/u] [u][b]Sk-Sketch![/b][/u] *Vorim starts running down the street after them.*

[b]Dight are seen scattered about, protecting the people and keeping them back.[/b] [i]"We don't know what it is sir!"[/i]
