The old wooden door which usually creaked when opened didn't have a chance to; it was opened too fast to. Through the door, and cobwebs hanging down over it, was the one and only Kruck. A loud and contented sigh came from the aforementioned.
"Dang, its been a long time since I've been home.... " He said happily, looking around his house. Although he was dismayed at the countless cobwebs and an occasional unidentifable small animal scurring across the door, and of course the layers upon layers of dust, Kruck was quite happy to see his house was in the same condition he had left it in other then the small things.
"At least no monsters destroyed it.... Geez you never know living in a freakin' swampland." The morning sun coming up over the tall trees and coming through one of the few windows in Kruck's house. reminded him about the party. "Oh yeah....time to clean up." he grabbed a broom that was laying on the floor and set to work on the cobwebs over the front door.
"Hope somebody comes early to help me out with this mess...." for what a mess it was.

Auron walks into the house, holding a lit branch to light the room. He looked around to see if there was anyone in the house or not, took one look at how unkempt it was, and guessed the ladder.
"Good, i finally have a place to rest..." ,he then noticed the many cobwebs and dust, "...I wish it wasnt so messy, but, better than staying outside in the open swamp."
After putting out the torch, and taking two steps inside, he noticed something or someone moving inside, and, due to his constant battle readiness, shot a bolt of lightning right at Kruck.

1 hour later and with no one still there, Kruck heard a sound, and since it was coming from the direction of the front door, automatically thought it was a knock.
Going towards the sound, he saw a light out of the corner of his eye, and instinctively dived out of the way. The light, whatever it was, missed him by inches and almost completely demolished one of the walls near the front door.
Quickly moving behind a corner, Kruck glanced nervously out from behind it. Geez, what was that? and who sent it towards me gosh....
Kruck glimpsed a figure down the hall and called out: "Its the owner of the house speaking. are you here for the party? If so come out and reveal yourself.

After hearing the human voice, Auron began to calm down, but kept his hand on his dagger, never to be caught off-guard.
"Ummm, hello? Who goes there?" After realizing the person said it was his house, Auron lost some hope of having a place to stay, but then heard the reference to a party, and his hopes rose back up.
"A party you say," he looked around again, "a little messy to have a party here isnt it...oh, and, sorry bout the lightning, bad habit."

Kruck stepped out from behind the man and grabbed his dagger, quickly backing away to create alittle safe distance from him and the perhaps dangerous guy.
"Ok....Are you here for the party or not."
Kruck surprised even himself with the certainty in his voice. He took one quick sum-up glance of the guy, nope he didn't recognize him.
Then again...some people do change a lot....I know I have....
"If you've just taken refuge in this house or something... that's ok too....you can stay for the party if you want. My name's Kruck and its a little welcome home party I'm throwing for myself. I invited a ton of poeple, so if you know me and I just haven't recognized you then i'm sorry. Either way, like i said you can stay for the party if you want."
Kruck walked slowly over and handed the guy back his dagger. "If not then...."

The Wet moist ground of the swamps squished under Shimmers black leather boots. I know these shoes weren't a good idea to wear...if I fell this would be the end of these shoes! She had just arrived at Krucks house for his Welcome back party. As she approached the door she could hear a muffled conversation going on inside. She could tell that it was kruck specking but she was having a hard time trying to figure out who the other person specking was.
I think this is the best time for me to enter...She knocked a few times on the open door before she entered. She stood in the doorway, her long brown hair lay flat on her shoulders, and she wore black leather pants and a white tub top with a black leather jacket on. "Hello....Kruck? Remember me?" She said with a sly smile.

(if everyone is invited i guess im in that catagory)
A black orb appears a short distance from Kruck's house. It glows a purple and black color, and grows larger by the second. The atmosphere around it grows heavy, and the air turns a blackish color. It grows large enough to form a swirling door. Out of the door steps a being of ultimate evil. He sniffs the air and smiles. The "door" had turned back into the orb, and it begins to sink into the creatures back. The creature winces for a moment, and stops as soon as the orb is gone. He moves onward through the swamplands.
He comes across a large cobweb inbetween two large tree trunks. With a snap of his fingers it burns away. And thats when he spots it. A old house in the distance. Noticing somthing approaching, he ducks down. A girl knocks and goes into the house and says somthing to a few people inside. Anubis stands up, and walks towards the house. With a wave of his hands, he morphs his body to look like a human male, in his late 20's.
He moves foward towards the house, and peers inside a dusty window. He see's vague movement inside. Anubis sneakss to the door, but not in full view, and looks over the side at the people inside.

"Hmmm...sure, I'd gladly stay for the party. Be a relief from the anxieties of traveling alone. The name's Auron. Sorry, again, bout boltt and dagger."
Auron then noticed someone enter the door, but, with some difficulty, kept himself from thrwing the dagger again.
Damned habit, gotta learn to control it.
He noticed then that a beautiful woman had entered, and was glad he didnt throw the dagger.
"Hello," he looked from Kruck to this newcomer, "You two know eachother?"
He shot a quick glance to the window, sensing something, saw nothing, then returned his attention to the matter at hand, keeping his hands on 3 throwing knives.

Kruck's face lit up when he saw Shimmer there; finally someone had come who he actually knew. Man, he and Shimmer had had some cool adventures back in the day. "Hey Shimmer! Thanks for coming." He greeted her with a light hug, while looking around nervously for Gai, who had always been a little too zealous for looking out for Shimmer. You never knew what that crazy cat was up to. "Oh yeah....Sorry introductions....Shimmer, Auron, Auron, SHimmer. Hehe that was easy. Yeah I know her." Kruck then remembered the state of his house and looked dismayed over the mess only to gladly see that most of the front area of the house had been cleaned pretty good. Hopefully, whoever wandered into the back area wouldn't mind the dust too much. You never could tell with all the allergies nowadays. "So.... Shimmer, is Gai here...?" Kruck said a little too nervously. When he'd invited everyone he knew, he'd had mixed feelings about what exactly Gai would be like nowadays. Probably same old, same old. A shadow outside the front door interupted Kruck's train except instead of being a regular train it was a train of thought so don't worry it didn't crash killing anybody. ;D Kruck motioned to Shimmer and Auron to be quiet and wait a second, and ran over to his side door. Stealthily sneaking out, he rounded the side of his house and snuck up on the figure peering inside his house..... "BOO!"

Anubis jumped at the loud voice the interupted his thoughts. He jumped a little and turned quickly towards the person who snuck up on him. He changed to his normal form, but noticing it was one of the people formally in the house, he immediatly changed back. (like a glimpse. (cant spell))
He was ready to innaliate the person, but decided against it. He was sure he could win, though outnumbered. Instead, he smiled and laughed heartly.
"Ha ha ha! Wonderful trick my friend. Please forgive me for peering into your door. I hear voices and was curious about who could have been here. I have been lost for so long. Its so good to see a fellow being that hasn't tried to kill me yet!" He finishes with another laugh.

After seeing Kruck going through the back, Auron decided to just go for a direct approach through the front. He got there just as Kruck scared the strange newcomer, and, despite the quickness of the change, Aurons keen eyes didnt miss the dog headed form of the newcomer.
Odd...where have I seen such a being before? Hmm...perhaps a book.
He knew this 'person' was the evil being he sensed before, and so he kept 3 throwing knives at ready, just in case.

Like a dream, like a nightmare, a odd figure could be glimpsed in the sudden darkness of the swamp. But with a flash back to reality, it was gone. In its place once again was a normal human being.
Kruck blinked twice with a little shock: What the heck was that all about? Geez that was weird....
Kruck was a little caught off guard by this dream and when the man who he'd snuck on just laughed and it showed a little but not very noticeably because, if you didn't know him well, most likely you probably couldn't tell. He recovered quite beautifully from the shock, in fact.
"Heh heh, thank you my friend. Thats ok, I can see why you would be suspicious. I am Kruck, owner of this house. This is my old friend Shimmer....(points her out) and my brand new aquantance, much like yourself, Auron. (Indicates Auron who had stepped outside)"
The owner of the house was still a little hazy from his weird little daydream but didn't even have time to think too much about it; people were here and no doubt more would be coming....maybe he had underestimated his popularity, but then again, two of the poeple who had come had just been lost.
"Just in case you didn't eavesdrop on our conversation, as I said to Auron a little while ago, you may stay for the party I'm having if you'd like. If not I can give you directions out of this place to nearby Vogran."

"A party? Hmmm...." Anubis said rubbing his chin. "I'll visit this Vogran place later on. Greetings." Anubis says to Auron, with a smile. He looks into the house at Shimmer. "Greetings." Another smile. "This house party...it is for some special occasion im sure?"

"Well, if you are to join us, I do believe it shall be easier to call you if we knew your name. Unless you would prefer being called newcomer."
Auron looked down at the mans feet, and noticed that they weren't quite that muddy. In fact, all the mud was quite fresh. The trip here was long, at least a 3 days walk.

The elf smiled a the site of meeting someone new. "Hello" After they said there hellos Shimmer took a quick glimpse of the house. No affiance Kruck but this place is a dump...what happened? She walked casually over to his dusty couch. She took a long pause before she sat down. The couch felt hard and lumpy. "Um feels great..."
