At least there was room for some humor. He liked this guy already. The guards started to approach, opening the cages and roughly yanking out different prisoners. Preparing for the forced march ahead. Right around that time Megaman asked him whether he had any last minute ideas.<strong>“Just one, but I don't think they are going to let us go if we ask nicely”</strong>, exchanging a laugh with the cyborg in the cell next to him.<strong>“Just keep an eye out. This is going to be a long morning”.</strong><br/><br/>Shepard went with no incident. The second that the guards unlocked the metal door housing him inside this temporary hell, he raised up both of his cybernetic arms and digits to indicate that he was not hiding anything, and had no intention of attacking the Stormlords if they entered. With his escort, he proceeded out in to the camp, then slowly down the forest trail towards whatever destination the Stormlords had in mind to execute their hostages. For the life of him the Commander could not figure out why they all needed to be moved so deep in to the forest for a simple execution, but he was not about to start complaining about getting a few more minutes to appreciate the scenery and autumn warmth. Along the way, the undead 'Queen' who resembled the physical form a beautiful elf called out his name. The Stormlords must have been scared by whatever was up ahead because they made no attempt to silence her. Or anybody from talking for that matter. Shepard craned his neck to the side so he could make eye contact with Sylvanas. Locking his light green gaze to hers as though to say 'What's up?'. The question she asked was so absurd in a weirdly adolescent manner that Shepard risked chuckling a bit, his wide chest pressing out the weathered fabric of his Admiral uniform. Sylvanas had been in the cell next to him and over the course of the last 3 day's he'd only learned a handful of things about her. First, she used to be a Queen of someplace, and was very open about telling the guards how she planned to have her minion's<strong>“make their insides their outsides”</strong>. Second, she was not at all familiar with the more tech oriented Home Worlds. The places where Shepard had spent the majority of his career.<strong>“I don't think so Sylvanas. I got lucky with these arm replacements. But who knows. Maybe we will all walk out of here with some handsome droid heads”</strong>. Shooting Ganon a playful wink.<br/><br/><strong>“I actually do believe in coincidence Ganon. Though I am getting a strong 'brush this under the rug' vibe from what's going on here. I don't know if the Empress has finally lost it, but it's certainly starting to look that way”</strong>. He intentionally did not answer whether he'd actually betrayed the Dynasty. Truthfully Shepard was not exactly certain whether he had or had not. He had spent so long believing in something that when that thing turned on him, it was hard for Shepard not to think that he must be at fault.<br/><br/>Finally they came to a large clearing. Ritualistic looking rocks surrounded them, and quickly the members of the Royal Hunt made their entrance. As well as the Samurai standing up at the execution block.<strong>“Well shit”</strong>Shepard cursed in an almost offhanded manner. Attracting the attention of the Royal Hunt was certainly something he would have preferred to avoid. Couldn't be helped now he supposed. WAR and Ganondorf were singled out as the two men to be executed first.<br/><br/>With Rowark distracted by his gold, Shepard took the quick opportunity to whisper<em><strong>"Everyone get ready"</strong></em>. His boot heel would noticeably begin to dig out a large chunk of earth. Revealing that buried just underfoot, out of the vision of the Stormcloaks, was a light gray Equipment Restore - Materia orb.
