Life in Taborea: The World of Runes of Magic

(This is my entry to Nuffnang's contest - "Life in Taborea: The World of Runes of Magic".)

Life in Taborea, the World of Runes of Magic, is not as easy as before. This place was once a simple world of flora and fauna, but it became a cradle of myths and legends. A place of heroes defending the world of Taborea against the conquering monsters of different sizes, and skills.

I am one of the "Living Legends" in Taborea, my name is Scolex. I am a knight who have completed my training near Aotulia Volcano, above the Dust Evil Canyon. There i have gained my full strength as a warrior - a defender of the mystical place of Taborea.

Now, equipped with Armor Splitting Long Blade, Justice Heavy Helm, Black Triumph's Armor, Belt of Steel, Chain of Fetters, Alexander's Fingers, Raider's Pace, and Black Market Spaulders, i am ready for any chaos that would come in my village - in Silverspring.

Here's my pose after my tedious training in order to become a knight who will help defend Taborea against invading monsters.

 

I'm pretty well-prepared for a battle anytime and restore the peaceful life of all the inhabitants of Taborea. 

In one of my training i've encountered brute, gigantic monsters that almost killed me. I can still remember that monster...uhmm...that was a prisoner. Ahah! it was Androlier's Prisoner. I don't have a good armor and weapon that time, but in our next encounter, i will let that monster suffer my Hatred Spike.

In order to survive in this "World of Runes of Magic", an individual must learn to harness all his capabilities - his strength, agility, stamina, vitality and intellect.  Every second of the day is battle for life and death. If you fail to prepare, you will end up suffering from the wrath of the monsters loitering in Taborea. Those monsters are merciless. They want to tear you in pieces so be watchful!

Here are some of the monsters i've encountered during my training.

They are well-prepared too! They are ready to kill you!

The reminiscing part of my life in Taborea was the time when i met the "Girl of My Dreams" - Emelou. She is a beautiful mage and was also trained near Aotulia Volcano. She mastered all tricks in using the elements in the universe in conquering her enemies. Likewise, she has mastered how to manipulate the different runes of magic in order to generate powerful energy in a form of magic.  She was really wonderful and powerful and i really love her.

 

After the training, i did not see her. I heard she was sent for a very important mission. During our last conversation at Silverspring, i can see in her cheek some pearls of tears as she said goodbye to me. She gave no detail about the mission but she will comeback here in Silverspring after 2 years. That was quite a long time but i will wait for her. With her skill in magic, i knew she can surpass all the trials that may come her way.

 I can still remember the last words she said: "I will fulfill my promise, and i will be back soon here in Silverspring". And i really believed in that promise.

I became a member of the "Elite Four" of Taborea. The "Elite Four" were chosen by the King Chandez and his 12 Council of Elders. The four were chosen among thousands of warriors who underwent training of different intensities. The "Elite Four" or E4 were chosen based on their achievement in battles and of helping other people in Taborea. The E4 were the following: Scolex, Emelou, Frixter, and Jasmine.

The Elite Four, together with the other warriors of Taborea had successfully won the "Battle of Magic" against monsters and dwelling spirits. Using the different magical runes, that were kept by the King and the Council of Elders, E4 and the warriors have restored the peaceful life in Taborea. The runes used were the following: Runes of Barrier, Excite, Defense, Burst, Fatal, Fearless, Harm and Mayhem.

Finally, all the people in Taborea were shouting: "Viva Taborea! Viva Taborea!" (Long Live Taborea! Long Live Taborea!)
