*Would turn for a moment and speak to his friend quietly saying a few words then he would turn back above the group there would be three more people with the same uniforms in the edges of the room looking down while kneeling as they stared at them quietly these ones had strange weapons, he even had one himself on his shoulder.*

`"Thank you for answering my questions."`

*He was about to turn away and walk but planted his foot down gently and turned towards them once more a little confused*

`"Broker peace? What actions have you heard of?"`

*His face going into a neutral expression from his confusion*
Timothy
*She would place her hand on her sword slowly so would the other two maids, as she narrowed her eyes at the men before them she looked up and saw more soldiers looking down on them, she would think for a few moments this wasn't good they had bad positioning she could use magic to shoot them down off that roof them turn to cut these people in front of them down dhe stepped forward and Infront of akiya and eirias these filthy humans who did they think they were talking to, to approach her kings like this let alone speak to them like such commoners.*
Cynthia
*Would look at there weapons curiously he had never seen anything like this ever before, it appeared to be crossbows dwarven in nature he wanted to get his paws on just one of them, he got excited while looking at the weapons he wanted to know how it worked, what they did but remembered the task at hand and saw the boys face turn from smiling to neutral he placed his hand on his sword slowly and his eyes slowly narrowed towards the boy.*
Carol
*His attention would definitely be drawn to the make of these weapons as well, however he would find a multitude of inefficiencies and flaws within the make but definitely admire the craftsmanship, before looking up towards the group on the roof looking down at them his spell book flying out of his coat pocket and opening up in front of him just floating there.*

"There's no need for things to get violent if they dont need to, of course you know that people aren't exactly the biggest fans of the demon Lord and while we haven't come to do anything to threaten her Majesty's life, me and my group also wish to ask questions as to how this got to this stage, as I said before if we are causing a problem or disturbance we can leave." 

*He would lift up his arm behind him, the looking as though he was telling his group to stay behind him and not do anything rash while also suddenly casting a shield spell over all of them in case one of the assassins that he identified had a bit of an itchy trigger finger.* 

"I'm curious because I must admit I come from a similar place and I simply wish to get some answers."
Jeffrey
*Looked up at the group above him and whistled and move his hand in a motion to tell them to keep going, the group above would jump away and move from the top of them. He looked at the group once more, tilting his head a bit to there reactions and grabbing the hilts of there swords he would smile once more the two men behind him took the crossbows armored piercing ones off there shoulders from the sling and kept them at a low ready position only after bylin casted a shield spell.*

`"I don't wish for things to get violent, if you aren't big fans of the queen as you say you shouldn't say such things out in the open. We are simply suspicious of outsider's is all forgiving friends."`

*He would give them a nod they would sling the crossbows back over there shoulders*

`"What do you mean about how things have gotten to such this point this interaction or something else?"`

*He asked thinking for a few moments, did they figure it out that an attack was going to take place? It couldn't be helped he guessed.*

`"Perhaps you stay out of the streets and go into a building if things start to happen outside it's an unpredictable world these days."`

*He smiles keeping his words vague as they're were eyes and ears everywhere he stepped closer to bylin and spoke quietly for this next part so that only they could hear*

`"If you wish to help us we will take any soldier we can get, we don't wish to kill the queen only capture her, we won't kill our queen but we want out voices heard, the voices of the people who want change. The recent battle successful defenses against two armies from sicarlas that besieged a town and city showed people like me that the way the military is run is wrong we lost thousands of men, fathers, brother's sons throwing themselves into swords needlessly I won't see another needless blood bathe like that again even if it means treason."`

*His teeth gritted.*
Carol
*He would slowly drop the shield spell as the explanation continued, listening closely and hanging off of there every word before answering the first of his questions.* 

"I mean how things got so far as to basically everyone in the world hating and hunting the head of the demon queen, I've heard very few stories about what she's been doing but even still I wish to hear every side of the coin before I decide to flip it."

*As he inched closer he would keep the maids and eliana from doing anything rash as he listens to the explanation that he gave, feeling a sense of relief wash over him as he realized this wasn't exactly going to be a coup it was just a military takeover.* 

"That's the other side of the coin I was looking to hear, how did she respond to her soldiers being killed off on mass like this, and say we were to help you what exactly do you hope to accomplish by doing this?" *He said whispering right back making sure to be quiet and to keep his group from saying or doing anything that would get them in more trouble.*
Jeffrey
`"There was a battle that happened a year and few months ago, before that we took residency in an abandoned city, word got out that a demon lord was building a nation there, they sent an army and emissaries with that army, our queen at the time had lost her mind, as if something... Went wrong with her, in the upstairs department she went mad, and the emissary's demanded an audience, she had a temper and went out to meet them, a fight happened that turned into a small war, that lead to a siege on this city, in which she broke the siege by massacring every last soldier even after the ones that surrendered, the wounded no one was spared not a single soul then she proceeded to put them all on spikes Infront of the city walls. It gave us a year of peace and a few months but they came back and we are at war again."`

*He said taking a breath, but he wasn't mad about that he didn't care about those people, that wasn't his business he didn't care of the outside world, that hated them, he cared about his people his nation his queen and country.*

`"The soldiers that died on mass she healed whatever she could she stayed with us throughout every battle she didn't abandon us that is why we dont wish to kill our queen. The doctrine of our military is no surrender no retreat, no fear, just march forward like suicide squads."`

*He would look up and then towards the mountain in the distance.*

`"You see that mountain, there lays a sect, of people, very powerful individuals that use this kind of power called qi that resonates within all of our bodies, they had sent thousands of warriors to help us in battle, however. We were given specific orders to protect them with our lives, we lost hundreds of lives protecting every single one of them on the field of battle. They took not one loss to our sacrifice. You know who gave that order. Our queen."`

*This was where there major grievance was coming from they didn't hate the people in the sect they did nothing wrong.*

`"We hope to capture the queen, and remove her from power temporarily as we restructure the military and change policies without her Interference and integrate her back into power once she learns how to be a ruler we the people have the power, the ruler is supposed to care for our lives our interests, our freedom."`

*He spoke with passion a true rebel.*
Carol
*He would lean in a little bit closer so that only he could hear what he was about to say next.* "Coming from a place of a ruler I completely agree with you a ruler is supposed to look out for the well-being of all their citizens not a select few, and the fact that the queen has done so much unnecessary violence, think I'm so many of her own kill weather for personal gain or for other reasons it doesn't matter as she kept the needs of her people's secondary." 

*He would Lean back again putting himself in range of everyone in the small group they were in to hear this time but no one outside of it.* 

"If we can help the Queen the military and the country get back into a better spot and potentially lead it so fewer people get killed, I feel like that would be the best course of action and even if the queen is upset at the moment I believe eventually she'll thank you for keeping the interest of her people at heart even when she couldn't." 

*He would cross his arms and nod his head, before turning back to the group and wanting to get their opinion on this.*

"The needless slaughter and deaths on both sides can come to an end should we help in this situation, no one needs to die but I need to ask are you willing to see that through?"
Cynthia
*Would think for a few moments he would look down as his ears pointed up listening, this wasn't good it throws a wrench in there plans he didn't want to be associated with a rebellion, they had a nation to run and hadn't even met this ruler. How would it look if they took up arms as a foreigner, he would jump up and place his paws on bylins muzzle and mouth before he could say anything about being a ruler, these people were prideful, he didn't know if finding out a foreign ruler was on there doorstep would be wise to reveal, as from what they heard they only cared about there own people not outsider's.*

`"A ruler is supposed to take care of there citizens and there well-being, we agree. With everything you said."`

*He smiles softly he would turn to bylin as he leaned towards them he would pull bylin to the side and speak to him alone.*

`"If we join in there rebellion, we will need to do this without revealing we are foreign rulers. If they topple this demon lord, who knows how fast the chaos will spread like a wild fire if not done right we may be sitting on a country that is doomed to be massacred a genocide from within and without they are already at war now a civil war? We could just leave... But that would doom thousands of innocent souls..."`

*He would say as they had seen men women children about, these rebels seemed to have pure hearts and noble cause but a noble cause and pure hearts was not enough to stop a tragedy from the fallout of there actions.*
Carol
*He would listen to his husband after having been pulled away listening to what he had to say and inevitably nodding his head.* 

"You're right I just figured it might be a more credible source if it sounded like I came from a place of experience but I see where you're getting at, thank you for helping me when I'm about to do something stupid." *I would give him a little pat on the head before thinking once again.*

"I don't want to leave all those innocent souls here to die without proper guidance or people to protect them, and It ultimately seems like this Queen's madness is going to get more people killed than she realizes... So let's join this rebellion and help out as many people as we can while also trying to set this Kingdom straight and you're right they shouldn't know about us in case this happens to come back to our kingdom." *He nods his head before turning back to the group.*

"We can help you but I'll let you know now I look out for my own, and I will not appreciate it if any of these people come into danger because we decided to help you.*
Cynthia
*Tail wagged slightly as he got a head pat he smiles softly*

`"Then we won't leave them, we will join the rebellion as you say but we are not allowed to kill anyone not a single soul, unless we absolutely have no other choice we our guests. We will help this kingdom from the shadows until we have to reveal ourselves as rulers. If we do this right we can remove a threat to our nation without having anything tied back to us in a bad way, and can use our good deeds to get into good standing with the demon lord and a possible alliance, and also be in good standing with her people, offer food, supplies, clothing, financial relief to the country to help them through the rebellion and hardships after we secure a solid diplomatic position."`

*He took a breath and smiled brightly this was a good plan as long as they didn't get associated with anything bad or unnecessary killing, violence but through good deeds and motives they could set on the right path.*
Jeffrey
`"We accept your terms, we have terms of our own, that our queen not be killed, she is very powerful and has a very powerful sword, which isn't a literal swords it is the master of the palace on the mountain, that will defend her with his life. We understand some violence may be needed to take her down. We want no harm to the palace master he is innocent, has done nothing wrong, or his people within the sect, however we will try to keep them back with as little force as possible."`

*He would remember bylins question and nodded his head slowly.Z

`"No one needs to die I agree but sometimes death may be inevitable, the soldiers of this nation, as I said before never surrender, it will get bloody very fast and very quickly, we are going to try to aim for non vital parts of the body but enough to put them out of the fight the demon lords soldiers. We have the element of surprise."`

*He would say quietly.*

`"Come with us to a tavern so we can speak more freely."`

*He waved his hand as he backed away and began to walk towards a tavern then down an alleyway behind it to a basement door, opening it he would enter and walk around the room with a gentle flame appearing in his hand in the room there was a large table a map of the city, and a few commanders of the rebellion around it and guards with crossbow rifles at the ready by the door and all standing at the edges of the walls there backs pressed against it.*
Carol
*He would motion for the rest of his group to follow along, not wanting them to move too far away in case anything bad happened but wanting to make sure we didn't come off as trying to cause any harm nor do any damage to anything else, and as soon as we got down there I would have everyone sit at the table with the map of the city.* 

"So from what I'm hearing your plan is just subdue the queen and keep her away from the political scene until you have everything set out and she realizes she needs to be a leader?, that's not a bad plan per se but my question is where exactly are you going to keep her once you have her detained, given the power that she's been said to hold it would be pretty hard to keep her in any one place for too long wouldn't you agree?" 

*Clearly he has thought about this for a little while as soon as the conversation had got underway, remembering that to keep us out of the loop of any potential wars we would need to go through this rebellion without killing anybody and also doing as little damage as possible..*
Timothy
*Followed the into the room seeing how organized this group was it wasn't rag-tag civilians they looked like soldiers all of them did, not a single civilian come to think of it even the civilians looked like soldiers she would speak.*

`"I think there plan isn't until she realizes she needs to be leader, it's so they can forge her into a leader for the nation, the leader she needs to be, not the leader she is."`

*She would bow her head to bylin and speak*

`"I believe in bylins plan to keep her subdued they would need a location underground, or a place that has magic trap spells to nullify her magic, or magic items to nullify magic within a given field."`

*She spoke her thoughts as she approached the map and looked at the city.*
Samuel
App: *The guards all had there rifles in ready position, they were all so young only the commanders being older, most of them were all young with occasionally older soldiers being here and there perhaps this was an effort of the nations future generation to make the nation better they had absolute loyalty to there queen all between the ages of 18-30 the commanders being 40 and up in human years but there were half human half elves in the room most were and they lived for centuries but there brain only developing to the point of human 18-30 in age of maturity.*

`"Yes I agree with your friend, we actually have a plan for that new developments gave us an item from a demon slayer to be able to weaken her if she is cut with it, we saw it damage and sear the flesh off her hand by just picking it up. The current plan as we know something big is going to happen here"`

*He points to the red palace district where there was greenery.*

`"The royal courtyard a public punishment of sorts, in the inner walls of the keep, it will be heavily guarded, we already have forces taking positions all around it we are still apart of her military, so we act as normal, relieve the guards that aren't loyal to our cause to minimize fighting but there is still going to be a hundred more or less guards we can't replace we have 4,000 of us here and prepared ready to fight. 400 of which has taken place up in and around the keep, the other 200 are reserves the ones with crossbow rifles like myself that are nearby watching roads in and out near towards the keep to prevent reinforcements. The rest are in golden grove, northgate and by murky stilts watching the small forts and barracks in that area where her soldiers are and there barrack's quarters, she has roughly 6,000 active soldiers and watch in the city."`

*He took a breath and then spoke again.*

`"During the event, we will launch an attack simultaneously by launching these things into the air."`

*He pulled out steel balls with a fuse*
Jeffrey
`"It has smoke trail attached to it, like fireworks but misty large smoke trail like fog red ones will be shot into the sky across the city to signal the attack, soon for each successful attack green ones will be fired in whatever district. If a district needs help or reinforcements they will fire black smoke that they are falling and can't hold back the enemies any longer."`

*He set down the plan infront of them and spoke once more.*

`"How would you like to come into this plan how strong is your group? If your strong we would like you to assist us in the keep or within the sect the mountain palace, just outside the city limits, we have 400 men there now in the palace we need to prevent any of there warriors being able to reach the keep to support the queen and her forces. However important detail, we don't wish to harm any sect member as they are innocent they will fight like beings you have never seen before only knock them unconscious if possible under no circumstances will we kill any of them or anyone within this raid we aim to hit vital spots to disable the knights and warriors not to kill unless we have no other option."`
Carol
"Well it is very good to know that you've at least planned this out, and despite everything this still does have a fairly high chance of success All things considered especially with the amount of men that you have and the potential signals that can be given off should anything happen... But my question is how long do you plan for this whole rebellious effort to take, the longer that this goes on the more chance that they have to gather reinforcements and potentially stop you, so this entire operation may need to happen within the span of 30 minutes if you don't want them to mobilize more troops."

*He was speaking more like a general than a normal adventure, a voice that he's only had to put on a few times in very specific situations and one he didn't necessarily like using, looking back at the question of how strong the group was as pride filled his eyes from how strong everyone here has gotten.*

"For the question of how strong I group is, I believe we could help you around the keep or the mountain Palace, despite not exactly being a part of the adventure is guilt we have trained quite a bit for situations like these." *He kept it vague so to not give away any information that he didn't want them knowing, looking towards the crossbow muskets and the smoke bombs, keeping a mental note within his memory to take a few of each to bring back to the kingdom.*
Cynthia
`"Me and Eliana can go with them to help take down the demon lord, and I recommend you and akiya go to the mountain sect, whoever finishes up first will head to the other, and I'll have one maid you have the other, as extra support."`

*He looked to bylin for his opinion on the matter of splitting up they were better to handle two things at once then one at a time with eirias there the plan might go slightly better.*
Jeffrey
`"There is alot of things that could go wrong. As I mentioned her soldiers are just like us, they will fight to the death without surrendering so casualties as I mentioned before may be inevitable. You are right the longer it takes to take down the military in the city the harder it becomes and they can reorganize and begin to call upon local militia forces for reinforcement. We expected the operation to take up to 2 hours at worst if everything goes south. If everything goes to plan maybe 40 minutes to an hour or less. Most of the fighting will be in the areas with the barracks choke points around the keep, and within the keep there will be fighting."`

*He pointed to the location of the barracks then back towards the keep there was wooden soldier figures where the barracks were and where the keep was.*

`"Then I would suggest to go with your friends plan he help at the keep against the demon lord you help at the sect versus the palace master if he so appears there. However we may run into a problem, there are these beings they call elders 3 of them of immense power that are stronger then the demon lord, they most likely will be at the sect, so that may be another problem but I doubt they will get to involved as long as killing isn't happening without just cause."`

*He spoke softly.*

`"We are outbhmbered by a couple thousand but if we don't right we can still win."`
Carol
"I agree we should probably separate our shared goal into two different teams, maximize the amount we can do in the time given while also having groups ensuring no casualties on either side... And while it has been a long time since I've had to do something like this I'm glad I get the chance once again." 

*His spell book would fly out from out of his coat pocket along with a miniature very ornate looking chest would come out as well, he would speak a few arcane incantations as the chest would begin to grow and plant itself on the ground opening up, and he would raise his massive claws having them shrink to about half their normal size so they were more like human hands, two very sharp and magical looking sickle weapons flying out of the chest and into his hands before strapping them to his belt, and a large magical golden orb would fly into his hand as well which he would put in his pocket before closing the chest and putting both that in the book back in his coat pocket.* 

"Eirias, there's something I would like to do could you please hand me that sword that you bought from that merchant a couple days ago?" *He asked holding out his fairly smaller claws, looking to him with a smile.*
Cynthia
`"It is unrealistic to say there will be no casualties. Death is the cost of a rebellion, no matter how just or noble your cause don't let it get you killed if you all die the rebellion dies with you so does all your beliefs of change you'll be branded enemies and war monger's so I understand you focus on not killing just in the process don't let it kill you."`

*He would turn as he faced bylin and smiled softly handing over his sword to bylin after unsheathing it.*
Carol
*He would return the smile before grabbing the handle of the blade with both hands and pulling out the orb using his tail, his eyes glowing a bright gold color as that Golden light begins to stream through the cracks of his scales and into the handle of the sword the orb glowing a little bit brighter as it began to crumble into dust and the dust would begin to imbed into the sword itself, causing it to shift in both power and shape, before I hand it back as it was now perfectly weighted for its new user.* 

"I figured you were so in love with that sword why not make it a little bit better for you, I imagine it's going to come in handy in the coming showdowns." *He said before beginning to sharpen the sickles at both of his hips.*
Jeffrey
*Nodded towards eirias words he would look to bylin, he spoke as a guard ran towards him it was the guards that left the elder and asius he looked at them*

`"We have to go now pick your spots sect or the keep last chance to stick together or split."`

*He would move with haste rolling up the map*

`"The event is happening soon let's go hurry."`

*He ran out the room and waited for them to follow*
Cynthia
*Looked at the sword and smiles admiring its build with a happy toothed grin, as he was excited to have this sword he took the sword and sheathed it running outside after apollon and the commander following right behind him his tail swaying as he ran*

`"Go to the sect if there is nothing that needs help come to me, and I'll do the same if there is no need for me at the keep, I don't want either of us being in a bad position."` 

*He would run off towards the royal courtyard with Apollon*
Carol
*Covering myself with a cloak and wrapping my face up in a scarf, I would stay away my sickles before making my way to the sect, following behind all of the rebels who are making their way towards there as well making sure to hide both the faces of me and my son as we make our way.* 

"Remember don't get yourselves into unnecessary danger if you don't need to, if it becomes too hard get out of there as quickly as possible I'm not losing anybody!"
