[kaoro]

This RP is Rated R


Alright, Treasures From Heaven has two huge first posts but IT DOESN`T MEAN your replies have to be huge as well. If you are not a rper of lots of paragraphs it doesn´t matter. Also, I would really need someone to play the enemy, because I suck at bad guys...

This is a fantasy RP AND a medieval one. Medieval means: No high-tech allowed and no machine guns, only one of the kingdoms have machine guns and they are very simple guns. No space-ships or any other kind of modern or futuristic transportation. If you break this simple rules you will be warned!

About characters:
*There is a thread made for them, so please don´t post your character information here

*You can make your character come from any of the kingdoms and, yes, if you read the history and ecide you want your character to be one of the gods you can BUT the Gods cannot make anything to help Earth or Celestial, charactors from Earth must solve Earth problems.

*All kingdoms know things are very wrong and they can start war or start seraching for the treasures on their own, they don´t need my charactor to be with them.


((I may add more things here if I remember something I did not write))

AND please forgive me for any possible English mistake. Englsih is my third language... sorry

Earth is divided in four kingdoms: Minerva, Aquarium, Desertia and Sapiniens. Each one of these kingdons, from the moment they were created, started a war against each other to win their lands and posetions. In the beginning it was a mere war, involving only the kingdoms and their populations, it was nothing it would ever concern the Gods or any superior being. But something happened… treasures started to appear and made the war so much dangerous as the treasures were magic and that magic even the Gods did not know by who it was created.

On the kingdom of Desertia appeared a weird helmet. It´s apparence was as common as any other iron helmet and it was used by a mere soldier of the royal army. However, whenever there was an attack and that soldier was indicated to battle, a dark light left the helmet, covering the soldier´s body as a magical armor, making him untoucheable. Only the soldier could see the light and for a long time he did thought the Gods were helping his kingdom on war, as he thougt it was Gods´ opinion Desertia deserved the victory. As result, his position on the army was fastly raised and he became from a mere soldier to the highest general and soon the dark light eminating from the helmet started to cover as his army, making it unbeatable. The result of such power was the almost total destruction of Minerva and Sapiniens. Aquarium also suffered but not so much, seeing it is under water and to Desertia people it was a hard place to reach.

Then it was the time of Sapiniens to suddenly have a weird “fact”. On Sapiniens did not appeared an object, but a person. It was a blind, deaf, mute man, who weared nothing but poor clothes and who magicaly appeared on the royal castle, on the king´s bedroom. He was tortured for such act, seeing everyone thought he had invaded the castle but none of them could explicain how because of the man´s condition. The were pitty of the man and threw him on a room it used to be a war stock room, so it was full of iron and some powder. On the other day, when one of the guards went to feed the man the iron was no longer mere iron, the man had transformed it in some kind of weapon which used powder and which made a large noise, but it was incrediable deadful. The result was the destruction of Minerva, leaving just a few alive there, not more than a hundred, the almost total destruction of Aquarium, seeing such weapons worked under the water and a bloody war again Desert which did not destroyed it because to each desertian dead – and yes, those weapons´ shots did pass through the dark light armour – a Sapinian died too.

The Gods were now disturbed but such endless was and by the weird facts brought by it. Death was complaining he had never been so busy and War said it was once a war with a point, which was now long forgotten as the kingdoms were doing nothing but showing their own powers. As if they had not concerns enough, Aquarium kingdom also received one of the weird “gifts”. It all started in a beatiful morning when a little Aquarian girl was playing with her friends. Something happened and she got mad at them and waved her hands brutaly against then and water followed her commands and attacked them, which to a aquarian could be nothing but dissapear from their surrendings. The case was taken to the high concil on the kingdom and they did not take long to discover not only her had that new power, but all of them. They were now able to control water and they saw in it an increadible chance to destroy the other kingdoms and turn them in Aquarium lands. They commanded water to cover the once above water kingdom, and only Minerva was not so affected as the very few alive there were hidding on the mountains. Desertia was the most affected but Sapiniens was also very destroyed.

The Gods arrived to a conclusion about what had to be done. Peace called a leader from each kingdom and took them to heaven to talk about a deal, and each of the leaders should take what the Gods called the treasures with them. So Desertia took the helmet, Sapiniens took the weird man and Aquarium did not take anything as the leader had the treasure in itself. Minerva leader did not appear, they had a leader but they had nothing to show and now they were worried about their own survival. The Gods did understand that and said nothing about it. The pact made by Peace was the following: “Each one of you hold a power which can destroy each others land and by consequence kill millions. The only way to end this is to allow peace. Your kingdoms will be obligated to keep their people in their own lands and it´s treasure will be there forever to obligate the other kingdoms to follow such rule. This will not bring more land as you once wished, but it will avoid each one of you from loosing it´s on land and your people as well. But Minerva will also receive a treasure, seeing it was the only kingdom it has nothing now and it was destroyed by your unusual powers. They will receive an fairy-angel, an above creature who does nothing but represents the peace you never had, but it also carries all help the Gods can give, so neither of your presents can beat it, but it cannot beat any of your presents, so you will live in peace.”

The fairy-angel, called Celestial, was sent to the land of Minerva. It slowly started to grow again and became what once was called a kingdom. Since then Earth has lived in peace…

Information about the characters and the kingdoms geography:

Minerva: it is a forest kingdom located outside an extinct vulcano and the oldest kingdom of all. Because of the fertility of the land everything grows and destroy the forest is impossible, some trees are as old as the planet. People from this kingdom, look human, but all of them, whith no exceptions, have some part animal, a tail, an ear, maybe an eye… they live in house made on the trees and some on the caves that can be found around the extinct vulcano. Mostly of them work on land, planting, and many do hunt.

Aquarium: it is a sea kingdom. It is completely underwater and the houses are made of corals and seaweeds, built together in a way only an aquarian could know. The citizens are all used to the darkness and can pretty well in it. He can breath under water, because instead of noses they have gills. The have part of their body covered by escales and on their hands and feet they have fins instead of fingers. Their skin, however, is quite fragile and goes out of water very fast, which obligates them to leave 100% of the time under water. If they wish to leave they must covered theirselfs completely with a special seaweeds clothe.It is the second oldest kingdom.

Desertia: it is the desert land. The houses are made on the rock and water or trees are very rare. Because of this geographic problem, people there started to grow a lot, they are big and fat, a body that saves a lot of water inside. Their skin is tough and hard to be cut, in order not to let the water leave as sweat or transpiration. Some of them even have scales instead of mere skin.

Sapiniens: it is the only kingdom where you will find only humans. They have nothing special at all, except by their strange weapons created by the strange man. Their houses are made of wood and their economy is based on commerce, as hand work are now much away from their tecnology. They trade gold by food with minervians.

((well, better start this in case someone wishes to join and doesn´t know how!))

Celestial was sitted on a red pillow in front of the glass which divided her from the rest of the castle and avoid her from be free. In the other side of the glass, sitted on the floor, but still much higher than Celestial was King Beno, an old man, who only became king because he was the oldest one on the survival group. When peace came, Beno managed to slowly raise the kingdom of Minerva again, being always a very fair man.

They were talking about nothing really important, just one of the regular chats the king had with Celestial because he didn´t want her to feel so lonely. Everything was going alright when a guard from the royal army entered runnning on thew corridor which ended on Celestial prision. He went on his knees next to the king but did not wait for authorization to talk, he went straigh to business, "My king, the treasures have dissapeared." and he looked right to Celestial who was still there, being the only treasure which had not dissapeared. "And they blame you, my king, as you are the only one who still possesses something powerful..." the man completed. The king went furious because of what the man said, for two reasons, one because people were acusing him without reason and two because they called Celestial a something, like she wasn´t a living being but an object. Beno sent the guard away and stayed alone with Celestial, then surprisily he stood up and walked to what seemed like a glass door, which only had a lock on the outside. He searched on his pocked and took out a diamont key which opened the door. "Come out now, you know as well as I do what you have to do."

Celestial nodded and flapped her little wings starting to fly. She left the room and did not stop to talk to the king or even look at him, she flied straight out of the castle, she knew each kingdom had to have it´s following treasure or none should have a treasure at all. Also she knew one thing only her and king Beno did know. she was connected to the other treasures. The Gods wish it was like that, so if one of the treasures left she would slowly die and take the others treasures with her, this way peace would continue.

But it would take about two months for her and the treasures to die and war could end with live on the four kingdoms during this small period of time, especially if the treasures ended in the hands of only one person. She flied for about five minutes and landed under a tree, close to one of the villages where mostly of the land was covered by plantations. She knew Minervians used to trade with sapiniens so she wanted to ask how to go to the other kingdom in order to look for a reason their treasure dissapered, still she knew she could not be seen by the people, in case they misunderstand her, so she just stayed looking around in hope to see someone she could ask for information and not be seen in the same time.

(I'm using, Apple's father as an NPC. You can make-up what he says in your posts too. I don't really know what information you will be needing, but you can prpbably ask him, he can't see much durring the day anyways.)

A Sepinian caravan was conveniently passing through to trade goods today. It had been expected for a while, but with all the rumers about the treasures it was receved much more causiously than usual.

The caravan pulled to a halt and a man with dark, wary eyes stepped out, looked around at the tense reseption, and made a sign of peace. A man with owl's head stepped forward from the audience to respond in kind. No one else in both groups believed the sincerity of it, but also no one would risk thier ecconomic heath on only words heard on the wind.

The man with wary eyes asked surprisingly frankly the question no one really wanted right out in the open. Much too afraid to commit to any answer.
"Will we be able to trade?"

There was a mermer through the crowd, which was slowly growing. If it got too large to control? Then what? Hesitation could cost. Wiseman Beare raised his voice and cleard his throat for the right words.
"Today, yes." He said causiously, the crowd murmered in satisfaction. It was a fair judgement. The caravan unloaded and trade began, slowly at first, but it seemed to be close to normal before anyone noticed. It was quieter than usual. Both sides knew things that they weren't intended to know. Talk was idle, the topic of weather was touched on out of curtesy.

Jonirhan walked solomly out of the group, hands clasped behind his back, eyes looking to the sky hidden behind black glass that he could barely see through. It was how he walked, with dignity and respect for the elements, which had early on singled him out as being wiser than the rest. Though his walk was more about trying to understand and respect a world he could only see when most were sleeping, than it was about dignity.

It was a nice warm day. General was looking through the barrack’s window, while the plan was plotting in his mind. He sighed with satisfaction. With treasures gone there is nothing obligating them to that forced peace. Who’s to say their kingdom can’t grow and prosper? Now, his time has finally come.

Knock on the door and a soldier stepped in.

“Sir, our spy should be in position now. He’ll report as soon as he returns” said the young soldier.

“Very well, you may go”. It has started.

----------------------------------------------

A young man was placing goods he just bought in his cart. Trade was going well despite everything, and that’s something he was hoping for.

“Hey, old man, where are the carrots?” he shouted to the man he bought the food from and who has now distanced himself from the group. “The deal included carrots too, and I don’t see them here.”

[kaoro]

((yay, people joined! I loved your characters! Just, er, where is the trade happening? Close to Sapiniens or somewhere inside Minerva kingdom?))

Celestial had left the castle and had flied to the South. About two hours had passed and her small black wings were to tired and she was indeed hungry. The worst of all, she had to admit, was the fact she was completly lost. It had been quite a while since she last traveled to Sapiniens and she did not remember how to get there, except by the fact it was located on the South of Minerva Kingdom. She spotted an old man walking slowly between the trees down there on the forest close to the road and Celestial went to a complete stop in the air, looking for a place to hide from his eye sight, but there was nothing there, in the air, where she could hide. Soon she realized the man apparently did not see her because he did not made any face expression or said anything. Was he blind? Celestial saw on him someone who maybe could give her some sort of information, after all there was a trade cart close which probably belonged to him and it was trading with Sapiniens. She was about to fly down and hide behind some plants when she heard the sapinien calling him and she waited, wondering if talking to the sapinien would be a better alternative.

[Oak]

(I think we are further into Minerva than Sapiniens...)

"Hmm...?" The owl headed man turned around. "Carrots? Well, they aren't for sale right now. There has been a bit of a fungus infestation in these parts. Fortunately, the above ground vegirieties have been more healthy." He smilled blindly, tilting his head. "The farm of Lifle offers you corn and letus in their place... but they have not yet arived, I'm sorry I did not mention it earlier." Really he had hoped that the carrots would be glossed over, and discounts disgused, but the others did not want any less than what they usually get for their produce, even if part of it was missing.
Lifle had been kind enough to give them some more to trade, but along with it came some loss of respect for this village. Wealth for shame? Poor for Honor? It was eventually decided by commity.


Apple watched nearby at the traders caravan. Poised halfway between looking at a strange object the strangers had brought and putting it back on a stool oposite the fruit baskets, she stared, consentrated on the conversation between them man and her father.

She was just watching to make sure things went okay, really.
It was often more out of her own worrying than out of real threats that she did this. But just like every other time, she couldn't think about anything else other than the matter her father had at hand.

.... Just to make sure he wasnt making any slip-ups. ( )

[Vision_Afar]

This is not what Johanton was hoping for. His idea was to get into the village somehow, but as it seemed he won’t even had a chance.

“This village isn’t what it’s used to be anymore. If I can’t get a fair trade here, perhaps it’s time to go elsewhere” he said looking around at other human traders. Some agreed with him just by nodding, while others spoke up.

(Sorry, I'm a bit in a hurry)

Tiny Celestial had a huge problem of trusting in everyone and in everything. And she was curious too. She had spent some years trying to understand the behavior of the Earth Beings and of course she knew Minervian and Sapiniens traded things, but she could not understand why there was such a big deal with the carrots. The old man was offering some other products was not he? She forced her fainted light to go almost unnoticed and flied slowly to where the cart was. She wanted to see how trades worked and she was almost forgeting she needed to reach the other kingdom, but she thought following those Sapiniens would make things easy. She spotted an young girl watching the facts quietly and Celestial considered her someone she could trust. Of course she would try to stay hidden, but she knew someone perhaps sppoted her somehow or perhaps her curiosity would end up making her come to a clear. She flied and hidded behind a box of vegetables and continued hearing their talking.

[Vision_Afar]

“Here, you can take these” said Jonirhan offering more vegetables as a compensation for missing carrots. “My apologies once again”.

“All right, that will do” said Johanton in a pleased voice, though he was far from pleased. As things were now he won’t be able to get to the village.
The trade was over and fare well’s were exchanged in a polite manner. Humans turned their carts around and began their trip back to their kingdom.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

It was quiet in the barracks. General and his Captains were all gathered around a large table on which was the map of known world. He moved the little pieces that represented some of their armies over the map.

“Minerva will be the first” he said. “I want as fewer casualties among farmers as possible. Others are not needed.” He paused. “With just their wonder left, they won’t expect an attack.”

(OOC: When you said human’s wonder has disappeared, did you mean all the guns vanished or the man who made them so they’re just left with their current supplies?)

[kaoro]

((I am currently fighting the worst blank ever... and Afar, they are without supplies but the weapons did not vanish))

Tiny Celestial, who was still hiding herself behind a box of vegetables, saw the humans leaving and concluded they were heading back to Sapiniens Kingdom, she had to follow, but yet her wings were tired of flapping and holding her in the air and to follow those [/I]giants[I] she would have to fly considerably fast. She saw no choise but ask for the help of those minervians who were trading with the humans, yet they would not know she was the treasure of Minerva because nobody except a few in the court had seen her tiny form. When the men were far away, which for her conception was far, she flied and landed on the top of a banana box, just in front of the girls eyes. When Celestial talked her voice were kind and sounded like a child and she was going to pretend to be half raven, which would be perfectly understandable because of her black wings, "Excuse me, miss. Could you take me to Sapiniens? I ean.... I am lost. I could follow them, but they would go to fast, my size makes me go much more slower than you giants." and she smiled, her blue fainted light shined a little harder but fastly returned to it´s regular shine and Celestial waited for an answer.

----------------------------------------------------------

Far away in the Kingdom of Desertia, the king Seccus was calling his army. The treasures were now gone and, though it meant they could attack any other kingdom and that the peace break was over, they wanted they treasure back. It was theur show of power and it had grant them many victories. Now Desertia had a large army, probably the largest between all four kingdoms. Mostly of it was not made by people born in Desertia, but by prisioners of war who were brought to that land and found out it was impossible to them to run away facing the desert. Soon the hot weather started to punish their skin and desertians made them drink potions which slowly made scales grow on them, making them look just like desertians. Many have forgot they were prisioners and became officialy Desertians and now they fight for that kingdom... and they were all together, forming lines and lines of soldiers to listen to the king´s words, "My friends, is it fair? We were following the rules of peace accordily and suddenly we wake up and our treasure was gone. WAS IT FAIR? And why the only kingdom which apparently continued with their treasure was Minerva? Is it a coincidence? I say IT IS NOT! I say we go there and find the truth ourself!" many hands moved together clapping to the king and soon the troops would be leaving...

[Oak]

Apple's eyes widened. But her surprise just transformed into slight shock before a strange sort of acceptance of this abnormal occurance.
"H-hello... You want to go there?" Apple looked worried as she spoke. Then realizing she probably shouldnt be drawing attention to talking to glowing little women. She leant over to both look closer at her, but to also hide her from the eyes of the sapiniens and wispered. "Why there?"

Her open face looked consernedly around at the other Minervans. One or two had noticed the glow and looked on curiously, though kept their distance. However, they couldn't hear what was being said.


(Sorry for the absense I know this isnt very good, just getting back into it.)

[Vision_Afar]

It was quiet in the Kingdom of Sapiniens. Great anticipation before the upcoming war; some felt excitement, others fear, but most of them felt they were finally going to get what they should have gotten a long time ago.

“Sir, is this the right move? Wouldn’t the King…” said one of the Captains.

“The King would like his revenge” replied the General in a commanding tone. “Besides, who do you think people will follow once our old King dies? His son is long dead.” He paused for a second, and then placed his hand on the Captain’s shoulder. “The King trusts me, so should you.”

“Of course. I am sorry I’ve doubted you.”

[kaoro]

Celestial took a few steps back. walking on the box of vegetables, when she saw the large face coming down at her, but she did not fly away, she needed to go to Sapiniens and that girl seemed to know the way. Probably all Minervian traders knew the way, but those were the only ones Celestial found trading after the war had began. However, Celestial was not expecting any questions about WHY she was going there, she was wiaitng for a simple direction instruction or perhaps something like 'Yes, sure, why not? Sit on my shoulder', so when she replyied it sounded to her a very simple answer but Celestial had not realized the gravity of her words, "Well, their treasure was the first to dissapear. I need to know if there is any clue that can lead me to it." it was true, that was what she needed to do, but would a young girl understand that? After all she did not know Celestial was the treasure from her kingdom.
