Four Thousand Club
Yes, indeed. It is called Lothric, where the transitory lands of the Lords of Cinder converge.
In venturing north, the pilgrims discovered the truth of the old words:
"The fire fades and the lords go without thrones."
When the link of the fire is threatened, the bell tolls, unearthing the old Lords of Cinders from their graves...
Aldrich, Saint of the Deep...
Farron's Undead Legion, the Abyss Watchers...
And the reclusive lord of the Profaned Captial, Yhorm the Giant...
Only, in truth... the Lords will abandon their thrones...
And the Unkindled will rise.
Nameless, accursed Undead, unfit even to be cinder. And so it is, that ash seeketh embers.


You awake in your coffin. Dark and alone, you hear voices and muffled bangs what will you do. Will you do what you intend to do. Or deviate from your destined path.
What if there were other people in your group who had different opinions on the first flame. The only way to find out is to proceed.
 
Darkness. The abyss and blackness of the coffin can be seen as sebastian looks around breathing as he begins to cough. Dust and ash begin to get caught in his lungs as he tries to push the coffin lid open. It was stone he couldn't push it unless he forced it open. He pressed his legs until his feet was on the coffin lid. Finally, he put his feet and arms on the coffin lid and pushed finaly lifting the lid and putting it to the side. He then began to stand up coughing looking around wondering where he was. He was in a graveyard of some sort. grey and rotting. The floor plastered and jagged as what seemed to be people in black cloaks begin to walk slowly. Trailing with a scratching of metal as there swords are being dragged on the ground.

ON the ground next to him are 2 other coffins along with the one he was in he began to speak "Hello....Hello is ayone there My name is Sebastian Valor is anyone there!"
 
The coffin next to the man’s soon opened after he spoke. With one grand warcry, the coffin’s lid was lifted like it was made out of paper. The armored person inside the coffin threw it to the ground and took a few deep breath. He took off his dented helm and threw it against the dirt too, the piece of armor bouncing up a small height. His eyes darted between a stranger, another unopened coffin, and at the cloaked figures walking around oddly. Then he bent into his coffin and pulled out a sword.
“...this is new.”
Goryn muttered.
 
Jaune awoke in the coffin and only one thought came to mind " not this shit again" She had been through the ritual to light the fire over and over she had even finally chosen to link the fire in the end. She had burned she could still remember the pain and while fuzzy she was sure there had been another there, but she knew she had died and finally earned a rest. Jaune knew she had been burned to ash and yet now here she was alive again. She also realize that there was something on top of her, this was a coffin, that was new. Jaune hit the lid and felt it would not budge Jaune continued feeling it give a little before feeling her catalyst. She raised it and uttered a spell blasting the lid off her and sending it crashing about a foot away.

Jaune sat up and looked around seeing two others in two coffins near her, that was new and they looked human, that was even more new. Still she had to wonder why the fuck she had been brought back, she had finished everything she had finally gotten some form of peace.

" Great this nonsense again at least i'n not dead this time," Jaune sighed " You two going to the shrine?" She asked knowing there would be a shrine, there always was.
 
Sebastian picks up his things mainly his staff and then begins to feel slightly scarred as the two begin to pop out. He looks at the two with his fine garbs of the school he grew up in. He looks at the man who comes up first "What...what do you mean this is new ?" He then saw the woman in her armour. It seemed he was surrounded by warriors. possibly people of the faith. He looks at the woman who was surprisingly casual about this and begins to step back "wait...look my name is Sebastian Valora I am one of the noble families of Irithyl. Ever heard of that at all. What were you two doing in coffins what was I doing in a coffin for that matter?" He looks around as he sees the shambling man.

He walks towards him giving a "Hay you their stranger where are we!" The man looks at him as he sees his face Sebastian recoils as he sees what seems to be a man with skin dry as paper. Eye sunken deep into his skull so deep that a poke would peel the skin away revealing the sockets of his skull. It turns towards him and slowly walks screeching loudly. Sebastian not familiar with hollows since irithilans are closely related to the gods. Looks kind of scared "Sir why are you screeching are you in pain! sir stay back!" He raises his staff pointing it at the man.
 
Goryn's instincts pushed him to jump into fighting stance when he heard a familiar screech. Hunting undead meant meeting with hollows was not such an uncommon thing. And the screech was definitely from a hollow. The long, heavy sword's blade was pointed at the figure in rags as the man who introduced himself as Sebastian raised his staff at it. Goryn walked forward with his sword ready, held in his both hands, and striked down at the figure with no mercy.
 
As he dose this the figure begins to scream in pain. Before moaning and disappearing into what seems to be ash and dust. Floating into the sky. Since this was at the end of the path Goryn would see what seems to be more of these figures as well as what seemed to be a old fountain not with water anymore but a dead body there. Sebastian begins to walk towards Goryn. "Excuse me um thank you for your help but who are you and where are we?" He looks around wondering where he is and why 2 people in armour suddenly are with him. One who knows about a shrine and the other one a big burly guy who kills things. He looked at his sceptre and his dragon ring and back towards the two.

"And what is this shrine you speak of madam...I just woke up and now I'm here? As a noble of irithil, I deserve an explanation!" He spoke in what seemed to be a panicked but demanding tone. With what seemed to be a stern look upon his face. His white hair being sorted while he speaks as he puts his hair in a ponytail using a black ribbon.
 
" Really anyone can burn themselves these days it seems" Jaune said as she got out of the coffin looking at herself and just still surprised she looked like she was alive again after so many years. She reached up to the crown on her head glad it was there, she also checked a pedant and a strange sword what seemed see through, all the good stuff was here, though it all felt different. She felt it was weaker like the flame had left her with these precious trinkets but removed their power. The others , well one seemed to get it starting to attack the hollows, that was nothing new, and some idiot that didn't seem to understand anything.

" You are nothing boy, you gave that up long ago" she said they were burned and long dead " But there is always a shrine, there is always a fire and there is always a keeper" She said going towards the man already starting to kill things " Now come on there are things that need killing, there always are"
 
Goryn turned to the woman, who has been letting them know, and multiple times too, that this thing wasn't really strange for her. She mentioned a shrine, a fire, and a keeper... that rang one memory in his head. The knights of the Way of the White were well instructed of what the undead were to do. Light the fire. He couldn't remember any deeper details, but he figured that whatever the woman said was pretty similar to that. Goryn lifted his sword and held it over his shoulder, ready to strike whenever another hollow jumped out of the corner.
"Well then, there's no reason to hesitate, really. Is there?"
He told her.
 
Sebastian looked at the woman with what seemed to be anger as he walked up towards her "excuse me I am a sorcerer from the most prestigious magical school in the world so you should treat me with some respect" He begun to walk towards the area they were going as he then begun to shoot what seemed to be arrows of blue energy from his staff. obliterating them in an instant. whe he reached the fountain he saw what seemed to be 3 flasks full of blue liquid. "hmm..hay you two somethings over here i think we can have one each?" he picks them up and passes them to each of you.

He wondered what was in it "I guess we will have to wait in due time to find out what's inside it. so i never really got your names strangers" He looked at htem wondering what there names were.
 
" And i am a queen i out rank you, also you learned in a place that has forgotten who even made sorcery" Jaune said.

By the time of Drangleic the four lords had long been forgotten and this was even further, no one remembered seath the scaleless anymore. She had also seen what had happened to seath and killed him. Jaune had been all over the world and done so much seen what had long been forgotten but somethings stayed in her mind no matter what. She didn't really have a reason to respect the noble she had slain his betters she was a queen. that was all in the past now the little noble would learn that.

" i am Jaune, you would not remember the land i hail from it was forgotten long ago" She said following after the two letting them deal with the hollows for now.
 
Goryn gave his newly acquired friendly, Jaune, a mundane shrug. Who made the arts of magic or not hardly mattered. For him, at least. Either did the maker of miracles that he used. All he needed was a way to aid him in combat if there was a fight waiting for him. After he took a flask of blue liquid from the mage-which gave him a similar impression to his estus flask- he mocked a bow, that stopped less than halfway through due to his armor.
"Well, your majesty, that hardly matters. We all rose from a rock hard coffin and there's no way to prove who's from where."
He said.
 
Sebastian fritted his teeth as he begun to walk along with his new acquaintances. He continues to walk seeing different graves. "why are we in a graveyard anyway. were not dead right or did someone move us and knocked us out. last time i knew I linked the fire and now im here" He continued to walk until he reached an archway leading to an area of some sort. with what seemed to be a giant suirt of armour about 13ft kneeling down looking down and a haliberd about the same size stuck into the ground. Sebastian looked at it and begun to turn around "No not doing this shit again im heading back to the coffin*

He hoped no one would stop him.
 
It would be jaune that got in his way looking rather disappointed in the noble there was nothing more she would like to do than go back to her rest but unlike him she knew there was none.

Jaune put a had on his shoulder and for a moment actully seemed sympathetic to his desire to run but then she spoke. " You want answers well the fire keeper is the only one who will know" she explained as they tended to know such things "You are dead you died when you burned yourself we all died that way, they always burn" she said her voice growing distant for a moment. "But you we have been brought back your coffin will bring you no rest there is only one path forward" she explained having done this over and over "now are you a noble and a scholar or a dirty coward?" She asked her tone serious if he was a coward she would kill him here and now then over and over.
 
Sebastian turned around and sighed as he then looked at the figure "well it's now or never" He walked towards the arena and nothing happend. he saw the sword in the figure. Maybe it was some sort of switch or something. as he looked at the sword he touched it. Nothing happened eventuly eh shrugged his shoudler sand decided to pull the sword from the figure. Once the sword was fully out the figure begun to move. Bits of dust and mould begun to come off of him as black tendrils of slime begun to sprout out from his back. He looked towards the others and said " The champians of ash have risen this is your trial. The onyl way to pass is the path of blood" He then begun to pick up his glave. as he then looked directly at sebastian. Who was slightly horrified at the spectical and was running away.


The man begun to walk towards him covering a lot of distance. "Come fight coward and face your test with pride!"
 
Well Thalia was a diffrent first test before Jaune had fought demons and a gaint as a first test, but now it was a very tall guy in very nice armor. Jaune did wonder at his story for all things had one and she would just have to find out what his was latter. The black tendrils reminded her of the abyss some though in a far more physical form. Still this group would get no where if Sebastian kept running away. Jaune tossed her sword to her left hand and ran towards index gundyr and Sebastian.

Jaune got between the two as the former brought his glaive in for a strike and Jaune parried it having long ago learned that parrying was a vital skill. The champion knocked the surprised man to a knee. Jaune then tossed her blade to her right hand and using the moment of weakness jammed it into the man's chest. Pulling the blade out ended with gundyr on his back for a moment but not at all dead.

" if you can't fight then you will stay at the shrine till you hollow" she called out as gundyr started to get up one of the trio was useless now she had to see if the other was as well
 
“This is gonna be a long day.”
Goryn muttered to himself as he saw Jaune and Sebastian run, each to opposite directions. He clutched his weapon tight and charged to the man in the armor. He couldn’t let one do the job when there was three of them(even though one was an innocent, panicking sorcerer who stsrted all this fight in the first place). He waited while the warrior stabbed Gundyr and pushed him away, and striked down with his sword. He could give him a few strikes before the figure got up, and retreated with his guards up.
“Don’t you dare run sorcerer!”
He yelled.
 
Seeing that the other ashen was actually competent and not a coward Jaune retreated some, not to actually get away from the fight but just to get a little distance between her and Gundyr. Jaune might know how to fight well enough to seem a warrior but her true skill was in magic, but it seemed much of her mystic might had been burned away by the flame so her most power spells were unusable, but any caster could use simple soul arrows. Jaune knew for long as Gundyr was attacking Goryn she would be able to get ready, which only took a few moments. Jaune raised her staff, a simple wooden staff of the same make anyone could find anywhere. Still in the hands of someone like Jaune this was a powerful weapon and in another few seconds she would launch soul arrows at their foe.
 
Gundyr looked towards the two warriors gettting hit by a few sword strokes he tried to pick up the male knight. planning to throw him towards the empty clearning north of him. Sebastian looked around and sighed as he planted both his feat raised his staff and firmly planted it to the ground. Some of the ground even parting as blue energy began to envelope him. HIs cloak waving in the wind. He then lifted his staff now blue with the mystical energy. He then let out a blast of energy almost like an arrow. "Heavy soul arrow!" He released the energy impacting Gundyr. before he could grab his friend.
 
All the attacks against Gundyr were taking their toll already he moved as if beneath the armor he was crushed. That was at least until the darkness inside him the pus of man started to emerge. Gundyr had surprised it while he fought but he could no longer do that in his current state. With little warning to the three ashen parts of Gudyr's armor blew off as the pus of man erupted taking hold of the novel guardian and driving him to a frenzy.

"The abyss no" Jaune gasped in surprise always did that dark pit follow her as if it clung to her like a child into its mother. "Kill it fast" she shouted raising her staff to do the same spell Sebastian had.
