I'm meeting with my cowriter in the library, and instead of writing, we're updating our live journals. I do intend to put a story up soon. I want some preliminary feedback. Of course, my cowriter is the only person I know has read my journal.

I'm trying to put my favorite characters in groups, so I can give them all equal attention. The fantasy ones worked out easily. The first group is Legolas, Tanis, Luke, and Aravan. My first three, and then my other major favorite character from a fantasy series. The second group is my other two favorite characters from Dragon Lance, and my other two favorite characters from the Mithgar books.
That leaves me with ten to put into two groups of five. I know Marius and Enjolras, my two favorite characters from Les Miserables have to stay together. (Not in the sense that might sound like.) Then, Percy and Oliver, my two favorite characters from the Harry Potter books need to go together. (In mulitple senses, since I will read. Then I have two favorite characters from various Star Trek series. Then, there's Wesley, and I don't know which show I would say he was on. Then, there's Xander, who is kind of my favorite character. Then, finally there are Richard and Matt, who are from other series and have not connection to each other.
Well, one obvious solution is to divide them up by nationality. For example, I can put the five British characters together. (My favorite characters from Deep Space Nine and one other Star Trek show are British.) However, that leaves me with two French characters and three American characters to form one group. Another idea is to put together characters who could match. Well, Percy and Wesley could go in the same group, because of a really strange coincidence with their names. And I want Julian and Wesley in the same group. And I also want to Matt in that group. Marius and Enjolras can both go in group four. But what about Richard, Oliver, Xander, and Malcolm. One of them should go in group three, but which one. Well, Richard can stay in group four, because he had no connection to anyone in group three, was chosen pretty close to when I chose Marius and Enjolras. Okay, here are the groups, using only the first names of my favorite characters, because I like to hide who they are.

Group One: Legolas, Tanis, Luke, Aravan
Group Two: Palin, Gilthanas, Gildor, Vanidor
Group Three: Julian, Matt, Percy, Wesley, Malcolm
Group Four: Marius, Enjolras, Richard, Oliver, Xander

I'm now regretting listing all my favorite characters, because I've been teased in the past for who some of my favorite characters are, but I guess it's okay, becuase I didn't identify the series they were from in some cases. And I didn't use last names. Plus, Marie (my co-writer) kind of told me not to worry about it.

This is a roleplaying game that I edited into a fanfiction story. It's from the Mithgar books, where fanfiction isn't really allowed, but this isn't really fanfiction. It's a novelized roleplaying game. I did not write this part, but I helped write some of the sequal, The Silver Quarrel. For Caravan Crusaders, I was just the editor. For a list of who played what character in Caravan Crusaders, e-mail me at general_skieblue@yahoo.com. The settings used in this story are from the Mithgar books by Dennis McKiernan, as are the characters of Riatha, Faeril, Gwylly, and Vanidor. This story is AU, and takes place in what I personally call Universe Delta.
Once again I would like to state that this is NOT FANFICTION, AND HAS ALREADY BEEN ONLINE ONCE IN ANOTHER FORM. I AM NOT BREAKING THE FANFICTION RULE BY POSTING THIS, BECAUSE SOME OF THE CHARACTERS WILL BE IMPORTANT FOR SOMETHING THAT MARIE AND I ARE WRITING.

The Crusaders Duology
Caravan Crusaders
Chapter One

Standing beside the wreckage of a caravan, the Dwarf, Anval Firebeard, hefted is axe and called out to the other survivors, "Who will go after the Grg with me!?"
A big man, also carrying an axe, answered the summons. "I will go with you, Warrior of the Axe. They have ruined my lands and killed by Leige King, therefore I shall set out with you to bring him honor and revenge!" With that he moved to stand beside Anval. This man, whose name was Brock, also began to search the crowd for others who might come along on the hunt. As he searched the crowd, his rocky textured body seemed to tense.

Outside the clearing, was a figure walking through the Skog. This man saw blackened smoke rising and thought to himself, *Hmmm . . .that's coming from the Skog, better check it out.* As this figure reached the clearing, he looked out and saw two other figures, holding axes. *I think I'll wait until I can discern more before I make myself known, for this is a dire place and eyes can be deceiving.* He took out an Elven bow and fitted an arrow to the string, preparing to shoot at the first sign that these were enemies.

Once again, I AM ONLY THE EDITOR. THIS STORY WAS WRITTEN BY ALL THE MEMBERS OF AN OLD YAHOO CLUB CALLED THE ONEEYED CROW ROLEPLAYING GAME CLUB.

Skieblue: Are we going to write as long as we're here?

Sierrablue84: yah as well as a bunch of othere things

Skieblue: What other things?

Sierrablue84: get stuff squared away

Skieblue: Okay. I want to write.:-)

Sierrablue84: ok find rach

Skieblue: I assume you're referring to her fanfiction.net id, rather that actually finding her.

Sierrablue84: yeah. lol

Skieblue: Okay. Just making sure. I mean, I think she's off campus.

Sierrablue84: kinda figured

Skieblue: Her number is 87663.
Can we write now?

Sierrablue84: umm... yeah

Skieblue: Okay. Because it's your turn.

Sierrablue84: it is???

Skieblue: Yeah, because the villains aren't in this part of the story.

Sierrablue84: i could of sworn i ended teh scene
dang dang dang

Skieblue: Yeah, that scene.
do I have to im you to get your attention?

Sierrablue84: no

Skieblue: I'm gettin bored ,and tired of waiting.
That's all.

Sierrablue84: hehe i know

Skieblue: Well, I've been waiting all day for it to be time to write. That's the highlight of my day.

Sierrablue84: ok well highlight accomplished.

Skieblue: Okay. I want to write NOW.

Sierrablue84: thats what i meant

Skieblue: Do you want to work on the crossover?

Sierrablue84: yes please

Skieblue: Okay, what characters did you want from the Mithgar scenes?

Sierrablue84: ok

Skieblue: The first is Fairin. He is a very close friend of Isethia, close enough that some people have accused them of being in love with each other. One of those who accused them was Qiriel, who was Fairin's girlfriend, who was convinced they were having an affair. Another one who has accused them is Vanidor, who I will tell about later. Qiriel has recently died, and Fairin went to Isethia to ask for help getting revenge for her death, and that was how the two became involved in the mission that will lead them to Arda.

Sierrablue84: ok next part

Skieblue: Yeah. Do you see part of the conflict though, with people thinking he and Isethia are having an affair. Because Isethia is still involved with someone. Which brings me to the next character, actually. That character is Vanidor. He is actually a character from the books, but most of the things I'm going to tell you about him were developed in the roleplaying game. Vanidor and Gildor are twins (and Gildor is the one Isethia is involved with.) Gildor and Vanidor are from the books, but Isethia is not, and the things I'm about to tell you about Vanidor are not. Vanidor does not trust Isethia because he has seen how she acts around Fairin, and he misinterprets their close friendship as something more. Also, one other fact about Vanidor, is he's a healer, but he is also a very capable fighter.

Sierrablue84: wow, thats ...theres, alot there...going on i mean...

Skieblue: Yeah. Ready for the next one?

Sierrablue84: yeah

Skieblue: Okay. The next is Kaelea. She's another one from the Mithgar roleplaying game. Kaelea and Vanidor are in love with each other, but I don't really know to what extent they're together. Kaelea has been tricked into working for the Dark Side in the past, but she was not on it, she was being controlled by having some of her memories suppressed or something like that. She recovered those memories, when the villain Dantor was defeated. Then, she had a brief affair with another character, who won't be in here, before finally admitting the feelings she had for Vanidor, and he admitted to returned those feelings. Kaelea has a rather difficult past. She had to kill someone to save her village, and after that she spent several years hiding among humans and working as a mercenary. The way I say things is the only reason she's living among Elves again is because of Vanidor.

Sierrablue84: interesting

Skieblue: Oh. Well, the next one I'll talk about is Fadra. She recently lost her first love, Galador, in a battle. In fact, in the story I got these characters from, Galador had just died. She had been friends with Vanidor for a few years, and was one of the few to know that he was a healer. (I forgot to mention this when I talked about Vanidor, he keeps his healing powers secret, unless there is a drastic need for them to be used.) Anyway, Vanidor was secretly in love with Fadra, but never told her he felt that way. Since Galador died, Fadra started becoming invovled with Kaje, who had been in love with her before. (Kaje is the next character I'll talk about.) Also, Fadra has a bracelet that warns when enemies are near. The bracelet belonged to Galador, but she found it after his death.

Sierrablue84: geez talk about plot

Skieblue: Well, the last character I have to talk about is Kaje. As I mentioned he is invovled with Fadra. A while before this story, Kaje and Galador were very good friends, but then Kaje fell in love with Fadra (who was with Galador at the time.) Rather than telling Fadra anything about those feelings, Kaje challenged Galador to a duel for Fadra's hand. Galador won the duel, and Kaje, ashamed at having demanded it, left and was gone for several years. When, he returned to try to make peace with his friend, he learned that Galador had died. He and Fadra started becoming close, and eventually Fadra learned about the duel, and Kaje's feelings for her
After a visit from the spirit of Galador, she began trying to sort out her feelings for him, and she does love Kaje. I don't think she's really acted on this feelings at this yet, though. Oh, another interesting fact about Kaje is his eyes. They are two different colors: he has one green eye and one blue eye.

Sierrablue84: theres a very confusing plot maybe we can make it less confusing

Skieblue: What's confusing about it?

Sierrablue84: well its just alot going on

Skieblue: Okay, what can I clarify?

Sierrablue84: nothing i undersatnd it,its just al;ot to soak up

Skieblue: Okay. Well, I will list the pairings for you. Gildor/Isethia, Vanidor/Kaelea, Kaje/Fadra, and Dakkon/Lia.

Sierrablue84: i will take...Kaelea, Kaje, Dakkon, and Fadra

Skieblue: Okay.

Sierrablue84: so...when r we bringing this in ...this chap right?

Skieblue: Yes. This will be about when Kris and Lothiniel go to Mithgar, because Kris wants to meet with someone.

Sierrablue84: ok

Skieblue: I just thought of another way we could do this. We can share characters, and take half the characters in various scenes. That way we can divide it up equally, and I can get practice for writing that characters that someone else writes as well.

Sierrablue84: ok yeah that works unless i like teh ones i am getting.

Skieblue: You need to remember to scroll down. Well, let's start and see what happens.

Sierrablue84: ok lets do this

Skieblue: The characters live in Arden Vale, and there is a forest nearby called Drearwood, which is where the portal. The Elves guard the forest, and the portal as well.

Sierrablue84: okey dokey.....

Skieblue: I will start. Let me think. :-\

Sierrablue84: hmmm.....ur pondering a proponderous thought.....is that y i smell smoke? LOL just kidding

Skieblue: Hey. Not funny. ;-)

Sierrablue84: :-p i thought so. so HA

Skieblue: :-p

Sierrablue84: =-0

Sierrablue84: =-o

Skieblue: Okay. anyway, I'm trying to write here.

Sierrablue84: sorry..ill behave now.....

Skieblue: Kris and Lothiniel had taken their leave of Leareth, and headed to the portal to Mithgar. There, Kris hoped to locate the warrior mage Kane, who had trained his father's teacher. He needed to further his education before he could continue his destiny. But he knew it would not be an easy destiny. And his only companion was Lothiniel, and he wondered how he would explain her presence when he reached Mithgar and was seen by the Elves of Arden Vale. They could know nothing of what had happened in the Hyperion, so he was thinking of another story. However, his story was not fully formed yet, when they walked through the portal and found themselves on Mithgar in the forest of Drearwood.

Sierrablue84: "Kristian? What is the reason for bringing a foreigner into our world?" Kaje asked.

Skieblue: "So far, I am only in Drearwood. When I enter Arden, then you can question me. This is Lothiniel. She is from Arda, and we have traveled here from Earth. I need to see my cousin if she is still in the Vale."

Sierrablue84: "She is out...but you can feel free to walk around the vale. I will not permit you into Arden, with this stranger, i will send for Lia and have her meet you."

Skieblue: Lothiniel had been listening to the conversation and said, "I may be from elsewhere, but I am an Elf, and surely you know that Elves are not evil."

Sierrablue84: "Yes, but i dont trust you, you are not from around here, so you will not be permitted."

Skieblue: "Have I given you any reason not to trust me?"

Sierrablue84: A woman stepped forward and whispered something into the mans ear. " No, but my chieron tells me that she can detect your evil. And that is enough for us."

Skieblue: "Who is she detecting this evil from?" Kris asked. "I mean, if I remember my history, this forest has been a home of Foul Folk in the past, there could be some nearby."

Sierrablue84: "I am sorry to say that these woods have been cleared since your leave of absence. And nothing was detected until you two appeared."

Skieblue: "Well, I don't know what you could be sensing. Have you sent someone to fetch Lia."

Sierrablue84: "Yes, someone has gone to fetch your beloved cousin, Cordelia. And... I think you do."

Skieblue: "Okay. Because I need to warn her, and the rest of you, about some people that might be coming here soon."

Sierrablue84: "Oh? And how are these people getting here? What is there purpose for coming?"

Skieblue: "They will be coming through this portal the same way we did. And, they are coming here in order to go Arda, but they are evil. One of them is a vampire, named Angelus, the others are this associates, except for Calyna, who is being deceived by their lies as to what side they are on."

Sierrablue84: "I have heard nothing bad of any of them....I will make that decision, when they arrive here, im sure we will be able to tell...but thanks for coming and warning us, but it was really a waste of your time, especially since, you dont trust our sources and white mages to do their jobs,"

Skieblue: "I trust the Mages, but are any of them around here. I mean, Twilight spent several years in the vale, but he is gone now, I assume. And there is only one other who might be around, and I don't expect her to be."

Sierrablue84: "Well, there are a few that are better than them that i have here with me and we have some new magical technology, if we sense any evil, they will not pass. Just like you both have been held here now."

Skieblue: "Oh. Well, anyway, I do need to see Lia."

Sierrablue84: "Well, she is on her way."

Skieblue: "Good."
A few moments later, Lia arrived. "Kris, what are you doing here? And why are you with Lothiniel. I thought you were with Calyna."

Sierrablue84: The men grabbed Lia, and took her away from harms way and then had someone inform her of the events.

Skieblue: "I left Calyna on Arda. She is being deceived by an vampire, and his associates. Lothiniel tried to kill one of them, and we were lucky to get away. They are evil, and they will soon be coming here."

Sierrablue84: retract

Sierrablue84: Kaje stepped in the way. " The only one evil here are you two. So i would stop spreading words around unless you have solid proof."

Skieblue: Lia stepped around Kaje, not believing she needed protection from her cousin. "Kris is not evil. He has always been like an older brother to me. He could not be evi. He is not like his father, Joich."

Sierrablue84: "You havent been here long enough to feel the vibes and look into his eyes, and to see the proof from when they entered. I would not throw false accusations around, and you of all paople should know this, Cordelia. Don't let him persuade you.... I know for a fact that he is decieving us all. Calyna is traveling with these supposed travelers, and she would never travel with evil, there is a reason she is not here right now."

Skieblue: "I know Calyna would not travel with anyone who is evil, unless she is being deceived," Lia said. "And I know that you would not lie to me. But I also know that Kristian would not do anything to hurt me, and it would hurt me if he lied to me."
"I am not lying to you, Corrie," Kris said.

Sierrablue84: "No...your not but you somehow were decieved by this....elf, and now you believe that they are evil. You have ruined a perfectly good marriage over this nonsense, i hope you are satisfied. And due to the previous circumstances, i am afraid i am afraid i will have to banish you from the vale until you change your ways. You have strayed from your path and are of no use to us now."

Skieblue: "I chose my path," Kris said. "And only Talarin or Duron can banish me. They are the Warder and the Coron."

Sierrablue84: "Well...I have been promoted to Warder, Talarin had a terrible accident and can no longer fulfill his duties, no thanks to the foul folk. So he is recovering, but he is being intensively cared for right no, so yes, dear boy, i do have the authority,and i have just used it."

Skieblue: "Well, that is news . . ." Kris said. "However, what you sensing is false. Lothiniel and I are not evil. The people coming here are evil, and Caly is being deceived by them."

Skieblue: "I can't imagine that Calyna would allow herself to be deceived," Lia said.

Sierrablue84: "Yes, i am with Kaje and Lia on this one. What we are sensing is not false, i would know, i am the one that is sensing all of this, along with my friends, so i am afraid that you are out numbered. You have chosen this path an dnow you must walk it." Faedra
explained.

Skieblue: "I have chosen a path, but I am not evil," Kris said. "And you cannot know what I chosen."

Sierrablue84: "I can see into your eyes and i have seen the changes in you. Now please leave, it hurts me to see you so, besides your presence isnt welcomed here."

Skieblue: "And the woman with him is evil," another Elf said. This Elf was dressed in white, and had a scar down the right side of her face, although she kept it covered. "She has killed before."

Sierrablue84: "Take this witch and leave us...You and Lothiniel are not welcome here. And as for your warning it shall not be heeded. But you and Lothiniel, shall. "

Skieblue: "Well, I can tell when I'm not welcome," Kris said. "But if Lothiniel has killed, it is because she has faught in battle before. The one person I have seen her try to kill was evil."
"But can you be sure they were evil?" Lia asked.

Sierrablue84: "You have been so decieved. And why? Why? You have no proof, just her word, and you jump and suck it in as if it is the words of the gods themselves."

Skieblue: "Well, I guess Lothiniel, and I will be going then," Kris said. Lothiniel had already moved away. Kris turned to Lia. "Goodbye, cousin. You are chosing the wrong people to believe." :I wish you would believe me,: he sent to her. :You are chosing the wrong side.:

Sierrablue84: "No, i am choosing the right side. I can see what is to com e, i have read the entire profecy and i already know what is to come. The group of four that will com e are bearing gifts of one of our own and are returning the missing heir of Arda, so you see, there is no way that they can be evil....i'm sorry but your fate has been sealed. you are now following your fathers footsteps, you will be the next dark lord. I am sorry...."

Skieblue: "The next dark lord!" Lia exclaimed. "No. Kris would never be a dark lord. He is not evil." She ran towards her cousin, to stop him from leaving.

Sierrablue84: Kaje stepped in teh way. "I am sorry, it is written it is truth. Im sorry Lia. There is nothing that can be done."

Skieblue: "No." Lia began to cry. Kris watched for a moment, then walked away to join Lothiniel, and the two were soon gone from view. However, he sent one parting mind touch to Lia, reminding her that they would always be linked.

Sierrablue84: end scene
"I have called this meeting due to the disturbing scene we encountered earlier today." Kaje stated as he looked towards the council and the crusaders.

Skieblue: "Well, not all of us were there for that scene," Vanidor said. "I heard that it involved Kriston, though."

Sierrablue84: "Well... he has been decieved and he has strayed from his path and we must now take precautions for the new dark lord."

Skieblue: "Kriston is to be the next Dark Lord?" Fairin asked. "Thia mentioned that there was a problem with him, but not that he was becoming a dark lord. She mentioned more that he was traveling with a murder."

Sierrablue84: "Yes, he is already in preparation. he has deserted Calyna. It is happening sooner than i had anticipated."

Skieblue: "I can still feel him," Lia said. "He's making sure I know our link can never be broken. We are still the Two of the Two."

Sierrablue84: "Correction, you are now the only one left. You can not rely on him or anything he says. " Faedra stated.
"And you have to realize that ashe gets deeper into his darkness, your connection will weaken. And then it will be destroyed by Luneas and Eldarions legitimate heir."
kaje added
"How,may i ask, do you know all of this?"
add alor afetr this
kaelea asked
"Well...Lea, lets just say i have read all of the prophecy and i know what is to come."

Skieblue: "There was more of the prophecy than we discovered in Beacondell?" Vanidor asked. "I understand that it was all about the defeat of Dantor."

Sierrablue84: "Yes there is more. Waht you also dont know is that my father Monutras created the prophecy from his visions. They were passed on to me at a young age."

Skieblue: "You never said you were a prophet," Gildor said. "Or that your father was. Was that why my father chose you to be his successor?"

Sierrablue84: "Yes, he helped to raise me, and he was my fathers best friend. He knew more about this situation than any of you, and he knew that i was the right choice for the job."

Skieblue: "How could Father have raised you without us knowing about?" asked Vanidor.

Sierrablue84: "He wanted it to be a secret because i was seen as a type of prodigy...and i had to get proper training from Rael and Talarin, before being exposed to any type of contact."

Skieblue: "So, they both knew about you? And you never mentioned before that you were raised by my parents?"

Sierrablue84: "Well....i wasnt sure exactly when would be the right time to bring it up. I wasnt exactly raised by them, i was trained by them for several years and then i was sent to get further training."

Skieblue: "So that was why you spent those years in the East?"

Sierrablue84: "partly yes."
"okay can you explain that a littl efurther , you know teh whole, prophecy thing? What does it say?"
Kaelea asked.
"The prophecy states that on the eve of years long night that one of the two of two will stray from his path.
And then it mentioned that a group of 4 shall come bearing gifts of our kind, meaning some of Lunea's objects, that the legitimate heir will be one of those travelers, seeking out his rightful place.
Then dark days will follow, the illegitimate heir will try to steal what isnt rightfully hers and try to destroy everything righteous and hole.
the eyes, mind, might and love of the two come together with teh heir and join powers to get rid of the threats, while the sight, memory lost and empathy stick togther and try to form the circle of love. And the medium protects teh lost souls and watches out for danger.
This in turn vanishes the modern threat of Mordel, and her daughter Lilah.
Then teh new threat awakens, The Dark Lord swoops down, destroying everything in his path. This is when the circle of love, th ecircle of mages and the elven people lend their power and strength to Wesley, because this is a fight he must fight alone."
Kaje explained

Skieblue: "What is the circle of love?" Isethia asked.

Sierrablue84: "The circle of love is basically a bond formed between the three that forms a protective barrier around all of us to keep the most dangerous power of alll out....hate."

Skieblue: "Did the prophecy say anything about the fact that Kristian and I are bonded?" Lia asked.

Sierrablue84: "Actually yes, that is the link. Your fate must be decided by the chosen one. he is teh only one with the power to protect you."

Skieblue: "You have referred to this person as the Chosen One, and the heir to Arda. Does he have some connection to Luthan. I mean, I know they're not related, but Luthan's death left Arda without a leader, and someone was supposed to carry on Luthan's work. And there has been no one with such power as Wesley has since Luthan."

Sierrablue84: "yes, very good perception my dear. I am sure you have seen the wonder of his magic, the power. It was quite interesting how he managed to contact me and i saw hi power, quite miraculous."

Skieblue: "So, the heir of Luthan has come."

Sierrablue84: "yes, he has arrived."
"wow that is farther thani could have ever forseen, We are finally saved, the day of reckoning is uppon us." Dakkon stated.

Skieblue: "What is this day of reckoning?" Fairin asked.

Sierrablue84: "When the heir of luthan comes to save us from our enemy, Kane. The mentor of Dantor, the immortal, devil himself."
he responded

Skieblue: "Wasn't Kane the one that showed up in Dantor's tower and helped with the defeat, though?" Vanidor asked, trying to remember those moments in the tower.

Sierrablue84: "Yes, but it was because he wanted ultimate power. He wanted to destroy his successor."
Kaje explained

Skieblue: "Was Lothiniel mentioned at all?" Isethia asked.

Sierrablue84: "Well....yes....she is the one that leads him down his dark path and and makes him dark lord, She also leads the slaughter." kaje finished.

Skieblue: "Slaughter?"

Sierrablue84: "The slaughter that cannot be stopped, is ineviatble, the one that has taken place. The murder of thousands."

Skieblue: "Oh, the killings I sensed she had done," Isethia said. "She was looking for Wesley."

Sierrablue84: "Yes....she was trying to murder him, and she almost succeeded, buut luckily , his powers were un bound in time. We need to make sure that they get here safely. Any volunteers?"

Skieblue: "I will go," Vanidor offered.

Sierrablue84: "Good, i will need to stay posted.I shall contact you. Make sure to make contact and offer your services."

Skieblue: "I will. When should I try to contact them by?"

Sierrablue84: "Within 48 hours."

Skieblue: "Okay. I can do that. And I will lead them here and guard them."

Sierrablue84: "Thank you. You are all dismissed, we shall meet again."

Skieblue: With that they began to leave the meeting in small groups.

Sierrablue84: kaje and faedra were the last to leave.
end of scene and chapter....stay tuned....dun dun dun
