Moon´glade` n. 1. The bright reflection of the moon's light on an expanse of water.
“MOONGLADE” is a non-canon Fairy Tail rp. Our story begins in the northern continent of Giltena, more than 400 years after the “disappearance of dragons”. With a focus on the Kingdom of Valeria, a country with a deep history revolving around the Moon Dragon, you will be able to play a vital role in the development of this kingdom--unless you choose a different journey. In Giltena, revered dragons have chosen to walk among you, and villains posing as heroes litter both the royal courts and the city streets. Weary traveller, what will you bring to the kingdom? Forge your path, and push forward through a world of magic and dreams.
WATER DRAGON FEST
The portside Town of Elmina is holding their annual Water Dragon Festival in honor of the Water Dragon Waka. Water Dragon Waka is a known foodie, so there will be a cooking competition held by the city lord as well as a variety of street vendors set up to celebrate the festivities. Additionally, the royal family of Valeria will be holding a hunt in the nearby Pouring Rainforest in honor of this event. This forest is controlled terrain so they will be releasing captive beasts into it. Choose. Do you want to help or hinder with these activities? The choices are yours.

There was a certain feeling of satisfaction that welled up inside the muscular mage as he heard the stone crumble and felt the monstrosity’s form give way to his blade. Without hesitation he would dart forward, stepping up onto the chest of the golem before swiftly kicking off before it would have a chance to reach up for him. He would continue forward until he was out of arm's reach, hopefully with his partner in tow.[break][break]
Once they were safely out of reach of their opponent he would let out a breath of relief, his muscles rapidly deflating back to their regular, yet still impeccable in his opinion, size. At the same time Rem would feel the magic leave her arms as they returned to their normal state. He clearly looked a bit winded from maintaining his spells, but his face would do it’s best to maintain a confident smile as his hands came to rest on his hips.[break][break]
”See what happens when we work together and properly communicate?” Romilda reached over to give his partner a rough pat on the back, a soft laugh slipping through his pressed lips as he did. "Come now! Let us see what this beast was protecting. I suspect that whatever we find here will be of great interest to our employers. And earn us a fine reward to boot.” Large hands rubbed together in anticipation as he advanced further into the ruins, eagerness slowly starting to creep into his features as they drew closer to their goal.

Dropping both spells and advancing further into the dungeon[break] (65/100)
At last! The stone beast was reeling from their onslaught, a sight that would bring an eager grin to the mage’s face as a new surge of energy flowed through his body. Even as he could feel his magic power being drained from his continuous output this bit of hope would help to push him forward. This a beast that could be felled. All they had to do was maintain this momentum and they would prove victorious.[break][break]
The vibrations that traveled through the cave were much like the ones before, which meant that a previous threat would be revealing itself once again. Romilda would kick off the ground with his enhanced legs, before even looking up to confirm his suspicions. The stalactites would crash down where he once stood, while the man himself would find himself positioned beside his clawed companion.[break][break]
It seemed she had an idea, one that he could get behind. The bare skinned mage would nod in agreement before charging forward alongside her, If they could immobilize the thing they would be free to chip away until it’s head popped off. Or possibly even just leave it behind as they ventured further into the ruins.[break][break]
With a mighty warcry Romilda would charge forward alongside Rem, his blade poised to strike. This time he would manage to keep pace with his speedy partner, his powerful legs moving far more quickly than before. His blade would swing wide toward the damaged leg, hopefully moving quickly enough that their more sluggish opponent wouldn’t be able to stop them.
Purple gaze would would drift along the treeline as they started down the path, his chest tightening slightly as he felt the thick ethernano energy radiate through the air. He felt a tinge of anxiety enter his heart, yet he would focus on keeping it from going any further. His brow would remain furrowed in concentration as he remained alert to any approaching threats while keeping an ear to the conversation between his partners.[break][break]
A light scoff would escape his mouth as he shook his head, his lips curling into a confident smile as he shook his head. ”Thank you for the refresher, but I would certainly hope that none of slept through our very first magic lesson. That’s the fundamentals, after all.” A hand would move to idly toss the long strands of hair framing the side of his face over his shoulder as he spoke. ”Luckily I’m more than powerful enough to remain unaffected by this level of ethernano saturation. So if you two start to feel a little woozy rest assured I shall carry you both to safety.”[break][break]
His mouth opened, presumably to continue his boasting, only to immediately snap shut as a terrible shriek sounded from within the trees. His attention shifted over to sound’s general direction, his smile vanishing as he focused on listening for any further sounds. The sound of rapidly approaching heavy steps made it clear that something was headed right toward them. ””FEEL THE POWER OF THE GODS!” Romilda would let out a challenging shout toward the approaching monstrosity, his arms once again swelling up with thick bulky muscle. At the same time Gordana would feel her own arms pulsate with power as her muscles would start to swell with power. Whether that would manifest itself as thick bulk like Romilda or remain lean had yet to be seen.[break][break]
A moment later the target would come bounding through the foliage, looking to be on a collision course with the female member of the party. Yet the monster didn’t look quite as ferocious as initially anticipated. Instead it looked rather...frightened. As if it were running in fear of something far more powerful. It was clear that this beast was not their mark, but only an obstacle on their path. Romilda would charge forward with a clenched fist, not even bothering to reach back for his blade as he pulled an arm back. ”Move aside, puny beast!” With a mighty battlecry the inhumanly burly mage would deliver a solid punch straight toward the side of the boar’s head, hoping to put enough force behind his enhanced blow to send it off course and away from the rest of the party.

Casting Herculian Might on self and Gordana[break] (90100)
A soft, nearly inaudible curse would slip past the musclebound mage’s lips as he felt his weapon get deflected by the stone feline, his eyes narrowing at it’s admittedly adorable face. It was a powerful creation, of that there was no doubt. Whoever put this thing here must have wanted to ensure whatever was behind it was well protected, which only made the almost nude mage want to see what it was hiding.[break][break]
””WITNESS MY HEAVENLY SPEED!” Channeling his magical power through his shout, Romilda’s legs would suddenly swell with muscle to match his upper body, causing his entire body to be swollen with an inhuman level of bulk and muscle. Like before Nephele may have felt the effects of the spell as well, though with her already magically augmented speed the magic could prove to be ineffective. Not that it mattered, for as far as Romi could see he was the one who needed the aid.[break][break]
With his first swing deflected it became clear he couldn’t overpower this creature. Therefore he would need to adjust his plan of attack, focusing this time on speed. Romilda would spot the hand moving to flick his blade away and correct his course, kicking off the ground to move toward the hand while lowering his stance to ensure the blade traveled underneath the hand.[break][break]
Yet the blade itself would continue to move toward the leg, this time combining the enhanced muscles of his arms and legs into a single powerful blow. Whether he managed to cause damage or not didn’t matter at this point, as his reluctant partner in this fight was in a far more advantageous position than himself. Hopefully she would be able to do something with it.
Fighting with an army of undead to the front and a mage that seemed to be spraying bullets behind certainly wasn’t the most relaxing experience of Romilda’s life, but things were going well enough. Cain seemed to be familiar with the weaponry, as none of the seemingly random shots came close to causing any unwanted harm. Though it was quite a relief when the hail of bullets stopped, his partner rushing in with what seemed to be some form of...gun sword?[break][break]
Romilda would dart forward alongside him, his jaws clenching as he swung his blade in a similar arc in an effort to swath through these enemies lake a scythe through blades of grass. He cleaved through a row of skeletal monstrosities, his feet shuffling back slightly to prevent any of the nearby undead to approach his flanks.[break][break]
A curious glance was shot toward Uther, his brow rising slightly. ”Are you serious? A mage powerful enough to raise an army like this…” Romi stepped forward, thrusting his blade into the chest of an approaching fleshy zombie before violently swinging his blade upward. The monster was lifted slightly off the ground only for the blade to be pulled loose as it sliced it’s torso in twain. ”Still, if we could at the very least discover the source I’m sure the city would be quite pleased. Perhaps there’s some merit to this concept after all...”
The desert heat was a constant motivator to remain focused on their mission objective. As much as he enjoyed the excuse to go about shirtless the unrelenting heat of the blazing sun put quite a burden on the whole experience. He could only imagine how his royal companion was still going with those extra layers. Surely that parasol could only do so much to keep them cool.[brea][break]
A quick glance toward Theo made it clear that the weather was starting to wear down on him. Steps came to a sudden halt as the kingdom mage spoke up, Romilda’s brows rising as he gave them his full attention. Before he had a chance to question what was needed they had turned their back and started to strip off their outer layers, a sight which brought an amused smile to the shirtless giant’s face.[break][break]
He reached into his satchel to pull out a canteen, bringing it to his lips as he pulled his eyes away from the disrobing individual and took a moment to survey their situation. It was clear that his partner was struggling with this heat more than himself, their fair and delicate body likely unused to the harshness of the outside world. Or so he would assume.[break][break]
Romilda’s eyes moved to meet Theos as their small break neared its end, smile still showing plainly on the burly man’s features. ”Very hot indeed.” An arm would extend to offer the canteen, his gaze dropping down slightly to the faint glow of their otherwise porcelain face. ”There’s no need for modesty here, Your Highness As lovely as that blouse looks on you feel free to remove it should you feel the need.”[break][break]
It wouldn’t be too much longer on their journey before an irregularity would appear on the horizon. Their course would shift to bring them toward it, the speck slowly taking the form of plant life as they drew closer. Ah, an oasis would be the perfect place to cool down after all this heat they’ve had to deal with. Upon arrival Romilda would immediately approach the water’s edge, his eyes scanning the surroundings for any wildlife that may have been using it as a watering hole. ”This could be a chance for us to resupply on water. But remain cautious. We cannot let our guards down.” Large hands would come together to form a cup to dip into the water, his eyes remaining ever vigilant as he brought the water up to his lips for a sip.

Everyone should just be naked all the time, says Romi
Of course it would be too much to assume that this sentry would remain passive for more than a moment. Though he at least thought that this partner he found himself with would give a proper answer to his question. Instead she would simply respond with arrogance as her body started to shift, to which the muscular mage would respond with a frown. ”Oh don’t you worry. I’ll do more than that.”[break][break]
He would draw his blade and begin to charge forward along with the woman, his jaws parting to bless them with the speed needed to outmaneuver their opponent. However it would seem that wouldn’t be needed for Rem, as she bolted past him with ease and was moving to strike it’s leg. It was time for a change of plans. ””FEEL THE MIGHT OF THE GODS!”[break][break]
The moment his bellowing shout echoed through the halls his arms would swell with muscle, though not nearly as bulky as his previous technique. At the same time as Nephele started to swing at the golem’s leg she would feel her own arms suddenly fill with magical strength. Whether this power would manifest itself as lean muscle or increased bulk had yet to be seen, but either way she would find her swipe to be considerably more powerful than she was used to.[break][break]
While not as quickly as his ally Romilda would sprint toward the golem, his body juking to one side as he swung his blade in a horizontal arc, hoping his enhanced might would knock the limb off course and allow him to continue forward unharmed. ”Witness my unyielding might!” Should he managed to avoid the attack he would continue to swing his blade in a wide circle, aiming to build upon the momentum of his swing and cleave the sharpened blade into the feline monstrosity’s other leg.

Cast Heculian Might on self and Nephele[break] 80/100 ether
This battle was different from the one before in many ways, even beyond the fact that he knew the outcome in advance. It wasn’t about strength, but rather the raw energy that his opponent seemed to radiate. If this was how ferocious she was in a fixed battle he was eager to see how she performed in the real deal. Still, the tension in the air was so thick it felt as if it were keeping their hands locked in place even as he increased the pressure on his opponent.[break][break]
This time didn’t just lose all meaning, it seemed to actively slow down around him. It was as if the raw electricity from Elysia had kicked his body into overdrive. The roar of the crowd was but a distant noise, like the crashing of the waves upon a far off shore. The only clear words to reach his ears came from his opponent, to which he would respond with only a grunt, the ferocity refusing to leave his features as he remained locked in on their bout.[break][break]
The table cracked and creaked as the two titans did battle upon its surface, it’s legs bowing and struggling from the pressure. The crowd was primed for a grand finale, and that was exactly what they were going to get. ”It’s OVER!” With his final cry Romilda would shift his weight, putting his full strength onto the table. It didn’t take much for the poor piece of furniture to reach its limit.[break][break]
As it shattered beneath them Romi would follow it down, dropping to a knee as he moved to put his weight down on Elysia’s arm. He would remain in his stance as the dust cleared, his musclebound chest heaving with every breath as he stared down at his fallen ‘foe’. At last she would utter the final words needed to assure victory. Immediately Romilda would rise to his feet, his arms rising into the air as his lips turned to a victiorious smile.[break][break]
”Do you see!? With not but my own grit and might I have thrown down the very best that you have to offer! Never forget this day!” The shirtless giant basked in the cheers and whispers of the crowd, his hands resting on his hips as he surveyed the newfound respect he had earned from the bargoers. Victory was sweet, but to earn the respect of a town known to be home for some of the nation’s mightiest mages was the sweetest treat of all. Hold on...was that a tear in his eye?[break][break]
Romilda was snapped from the moment, his eyes widening slightly as the woman demanded his name. Oh right, he got so caught up in all this that he forgot about her. With his right arm falling limp and exhausted at his side he would lean forward and reach out with his right, offering to help pull her to her feet. ”Romilda DePalo. I suggest you remember the name.” He would offer Elysia a small nod of respect, his chest still puffed up with pride. ”You fought well, but I’m afraid not even you can stand up to my strength. I would have your name. In fact...” In a dramatic flourish he would hold his arms wide, spinning in place to address the crowd as a whole. ”Allow me to buy you all a drink to celebrate this occasion!”
Royal purple eyes would shift over to the crowd as the woman egged them on, her words sending a new wave of energy through the onlookers. Whether it was her charisma or the intense atmosphere that made the people so pliable was difficult to tell, but either way her plan was working well. The stakes were raised, bets were being placed and the entire bar seemed to be engrossed by their display.[break][break]
But he couldn’t keep his eyes off his opponent for more than a moment, his attention snapping back to Elysia as he left the crowd to their own devices. The look in her eyes started to shift in an unsettling fashion, a feeling that would only be amplified as an inhuman roar escaped her mouth. Yet Romilda wouldn’t flinch, for he was determined to claim victory no matter what sort of opponent he found himself up against! For a moment he forgot that this was all a show, his lips pulling back to reveal a pair of tightly clenched pearly whites as he stared the beast of a woman down with his own unyielding stare.[break][break]
”You want my best?” His grip on her hand would tighten as his unnaturally massive muscles would continue to push against her, his face twisting into a snarl as his free hand moved to grip the side of the table. ”Then I pray you have enough jewels to cover the medical bills!”With that he would start to slowly apply his full force into his arm, using his grip on the table for leverage as he fought to push her down.[break][break]
Her strength was formidable, he had to admit. Initially he thought he would have to hold back quite a bit to make things interesting, but it quickly became clear that this wasn’t the case. Even with his enhanced muscle mass he could feel considerable resistance. Part of him wished he could continue to forget that this was matched was fixed and enjoy this match the way it was meant to be.
Thick arms would move to cross over his chest as he turned away from Gordana, his entire focus shifting over to Bellamy. The corners of his lips tilted downward into a slight smile as he insisted that there had been some terribly pathetic crying from inside the woods. Certainly his shout didn’t sound that bad, did it? No, that was impossible. Even at his lowest he had the booming voice of a god. If this man heard such a thing it most certainly didn’t come from him.[break][break]
Romilda let out a soft scoff as he glanced over to the black haired woman, his brows raising in amusement at her statement. ”Normally I respect such confidence, but neither of you can compare to my perfectly crafted form.” As he spoke he would unfold his arms, placing a hand on his bicep as he flexed the dense muscle. ”Perhaps after this is done we can compare notes to see whose beauty truly reigns supreme.” As he spoke he would turn to direct the words at Bellamy as well, his previous irritation seeming to vanish as his overflowing confidence took over his features.[break][break]
It would seem that despite each one of them seeming to feel that they were the true star of the show it would seem that they had met some form of agreement. They would work together to complete the challenge set before them. ”Romilda DePalo. A pleasure.” The introductions were brief, as they should be given the fact that they were working against the clock. Though it seemed that one of them had decided to play leader, walking off without giving his name.[break][break]
”I would hesitate to call it easier. I suspect that while it lacks any sort of environmental obstacle there is bound to be some manner of fierce creature lurking. Nevertheless, I agree. The other two options hold little appeal to me.” He didn’t quite feel like hiking up his skirt to cross the excessively muddy path, and his clothes were far too fine to risk ruining in that filthy water. Thus, whether it was the easier path or no, the first route was the only option he was willing to take.
Romilda would remain cautious as he made his way deeper into the cavern, his eyes traveling along the floor, walls and ceiling with each step he took. He may have been a towering wall of muscle, but that didn’t mean he was a fool who would blindly charge into danger without hesitation. His eyes would come to settle on the stalactites, his pace slowing as he started to utter a word of caution to his partner. But it would seem there was no time.[break][break]
The earth would shake and the stone spears would come crashing down toward them. He was already too far into the cluster to avoid them, which meant he would be forced to absorb the impacts. Romilda would bend over backwards, facing his torso toward the cieling as he let out a mighty ”HO!”. The moment he did his entire body would swell with muscle in a more uncomfortable looking fashion.[break][break]
The way his body bulged made him look inhuman, like a mass of living muscle with the vague shape of a human. The muscles would visibly flex and tighten just as the stalactites would collide with his body, the stone shattering against the man’s rock hard body. His body would stand unflinching, absorbing the impacts without budging even an inch. Once the barrage of stone ended he would take release the spell, letting out a sharp breath as his body gasped for air. Even if it didn’t cause any major injury it still was quite painful, as could be seen by the slight reddening on his exposed abs where he was impacted.[break][break]
Before he would have a chance to speak to Rem the next threat would make itself known in a most uncharacteristic manner. Sharp eyes would narrow as he reached back to grip the hilt of his blade, lips pressing into a flat line as he attempted to assess the...golem? ”I admit, that is not what I was expecting.” A quick glance would be shot to the woman behind him, his previous relaxed voice gaining an edge of intensity. ”Tell me now, do you value strength or speed?”
