Its been missing since the days of Arkon, father to the one known as Arcon. To the one who holds this great sword comes the greatest gift of life (eternal youth). Its believed according to Arconian legend that he or she that has the sword can also give eternal youth. It can not be done with the sword alone. The great wise man and magician, Talon, was the last to know the spell to use with the sword to give eternal youth. In a raid, a decade ago by fencingsuck bandits Talon was tortured, his tongue cut out and his hands cut off. It is unclear to this day if he gave up the secret of the spell. He sits in a tower provided by the crown unable to speak or write. For a decade wise men of Arconia have tried to figure a way to communicate with Talon .It is rumored that his evil brother, "Zip" a spy for the Empire of Fencingsucks is in Arconia. Arconian agents have discovered that he has the means to communicate with his brother. You can see what this means.
The security at the tower has been doubled
Arconians must find a way to communicate with Talon before Zip reaches him. If Zip finds the spell all is not lost for he still will have to locate the sword.
This crisis gets even worse. The evil half brother of Arcon ,"Arcan"says he knows where the sword is. If he is not stopped and the sword secured, then the safety of the kings sister Acira is in danger. Arcan knows what the sword means to Arconians, he will blackmail Arcon for the hand of his sister(in marriage).
All Arconians knights are hereby on alert.
All faithful and loyal arconians are needed in this time of crisis.
Live Long and fence

King Arcon

The daring young maiden in white stepped boldly infront of the king."Your Majesty, I personally volunteer to seek out that sword. I get a feeling it is somehow related to my own quest for the Water of Life.
NewKnight15, I propose you and I join forces on this adventure, Seeing how you seem to be one of the few interested. Have you got a less formal name by which I may address you?
We should leave at once."
She extended her hand to the young man.

Fencing Angel · 07-16-2001, 02:29 PM

i will give my life for you sister...

Foil Girl · 07-16-2001, 02:56 PM

King Arcon. Do you think I could perhaps make up for my misdeeds by helping protect this sword and it's whereabouts from evil zip?

Its not the real thing Mango, there are many forgeries out there. Arcan claims he knows where the sword is. Arcan must be captured and questioned.

Yes foil girl you may do what you can to help
Fencing Angel, you are the Knight, take Foil Girl make her your squire lead her into this adventure ,show her the true qualities of a Knight.

Lady Jane, you have a force of three now.. i suggest you seek out Latelight and any other Knight interested in this mission. You must find sword or you must find Arcan first and convince him to tell you of its whereabouts.
We will work on attaining the spell at a later date. Maybe Moon or Willow can come up with something.

King Arcon

its_me_mango · 07-16-2001, 05:21 PM

I stand corrected mighty king. The sword I have found is a mere fake, a forgery, a fluke! I cannot believe that I could be so EASILY fooled! Dash it all. She threw the sword down into the moat. The heavens rumbled and the ground complained, a small 3.5 earth-movement took place 5 miles away, causing the moat to swell and before anyone knew it, the fake sword was swept into a creek and floated into the dark forest of the night.

Iwant2bafencer · 07-16-2001, 06:13 PM

Steps boldly infront of the king and takes a bow. 'My King, I wish to serve the kingdom of Arconia as much as I can. If it pleases you, I wish to become a Knight so that I my devote my life to you and your country. Is this posible, and how may I go about doing it?

Lady Rosaline

Willow · 07-16-2001, 06:24 PM

"Lady Jane, yes, I have heard rumors of the Water of Life. I do not know if it is real or not, but perhaps you are welcome to come and search through my small library of books to see if we can find reference to it. If you will excuse me, I believe I am going to go and lie down. I do not feel very well, suddenly."

Lady Willow turns and begins walking away. Overcome by dizziness and nausea, she collapses to the ground.

does Elvis talk to you?

Iwant2bafencer · 07-16-2001, 06:42 PM

'Lady Willow are you alright?' Gently taps Willow on the check to wake her up. 'Someone get some water, and a damp cloth!' Takes off her cloak and uses it to prop Willows head up. *I always get the ones that pass out.*

Zelda · 07-16-2001, 06:55 PM

Oh dear Oh dear. It must be something in the air. Angel, mind your wounds and carry Willow to her rooms. Someone go and find Moon and tell her that her L-I-W has collapased and the doctor has been sent for. The rest of you... I though we were still looking for Lord Tellurine, have we found him?? NO? Well KEEP LOOKING!!! The sword of youth can wait a day or two, its not going anywhere as no one knows where it is!!!! Now Lord Tellurine on the other hand is somewhere in this castle and is a DANGER to us all.

Iwant2bafencer · 07-16-2001, 07:14 PM

Stands up from Willows side as she gets caried away. Bows breifly. 'My Queen, how may I help?'

arcon · 07-16-2001, 08:44 PM

Zelda put Willow in the guest chambers of the Palace. Have the servants get her anything she needs.

LadyJane · 07-16-2001, 09:26 PM

"Willow! Oh dear, I shall follow her to her chambers and learn what I can from her doctors.
"Those of you who will be joining me in the morning, I suggest we retire early to get a full night's rest. Do not pack excessively, for we will have a long journey. Bring your sword, cloak, and what little neccessities you can fit in your saddle bag. Will someone please tell the squires to ready the horses? We will ride away at first light."

LadyJane · 07-16-2001, 09:50 PM

Lady Jane followed the bearers of Willow's body to the bedchamber, where the sorceress was propped on numerous pillows.
"What is the matter?" She asked the court astrologer. He looked at her gravely.
"I believe she has been 'ghosted'."
Lady Jane's eyes widened. "What does that mean?"
"It means her spirit has been captured by another force - Probably Zip. He is, to my knowlegde, the only sorcerer with such powers. She is still alive, have no fear." He patted the girl absently on the head as he moved past her to confer with the other doctors. But Lady Jane would not be brushed aside.
"Please sir, what is the cure?"
The astrologer turned his mournfully dull gaze to her. "I know of none." Said he.
"I must wake her! She may have answers for me, I seek the water of life! and now, the sword of youth! And she is the local sorceress, we can't have her 'ghosted', we need her powers!"
"That is most likely the very reason Zip has taken her." This clear piece of news accompanied by a hard stare from the astrologer shut Lady Janes mouth on the matter. Bitting her lip, she turned away and went to the bedside. Taking her new aqaintance's ashen hand, she knelt down. Willow was clearly not dead. She looked as though she were simply daydreaming, and needed only to be shook from her reverie... "Willow!" Jane wispered. "Willow!" a little louder. Willow's uncanny absent response gave Jane a pang of fear. Staring into the empty eyes, Lady Jane made a vow to bring this valuble woman back from... wherever her spirit was trapped...
Perhaps the Water of Life would cure her - wasn't that all she needed? A bit of true Life?
She had to try. That was all she knew. Taking one last look at Willow's limp body, she left the room to go in search of Willow's library.
She would not be sleeping much tonight.

Follows Lady jane out of Willows bed chamber. "Lady Jane, Is there anyway I can help? I am new here also, so I do not know that much about the castle or the kingdom, but I would still like to help you as much as I can. By the way my name is Lady Rosaline."
