While seeking provisions and a place to rest in the territory of Almarius, the group was taken captive by a deceived Dutchess Irina Morgain, not long after the group was placed in captivity, Irina was cast off her position as Dutchess and ordered to death. Thinking swiftly, she was able to avoid being killed and then went on to free the group, taking them along a mountain path that would safely take them out of her territory. However, just when their escape seemed certain, members of a dark army blocked the final gate, and prepared themselves for battle.<br><br>Little did the dark soldiers know, this would be the first of many battles to come on Alister's quest for justice.<br><br><strong><em>Objective: Secure the Gate</em></strong><br>(Alright everybody, it's time to kick this RP off. It's alright if you want to dive right into the fight, but if you also want to insert a story as to how your character was recruited by Alister, that would be a very welcome addition. Either way, our goal right now is to break though the gate. Since the enemy consists of 5 soldiers 2 chevaliers, and a whopping 3 knights, a full frontal attack may not be the best of ideas.) <br><br>Alister's eyes widened as the attacking army started to approach. The Knights were moving extremely slowly, but he feared that they would be well overpowered by the soldiers. <br>"Damn, they found us"<br><br>Everybody except the gate guard was advancing towards them, the guard being a heavily armored knight with a steel lance in hand.<br>"Kill them all, but keep the prince alive if it seems practical..."<br>

				<em>On that fated day, Ken was returning from an errand. His training neared completion at last, and he was sure that his master will grant him the title of swordmaster before the calendar turned.<br>"Oh man, that would be so great! I'd show those smug nobles where talent lies!" He talked to himself as he walked on the side of the main road to the capital of Lancor. It's been a while since he was last here, his latest mission turned out quite lengthy. The swordsman was happy to see some familiar faces back home. His friend, and Prince of Lancor Alister, along with the shy Lily who always hanged out with the noble. Even the apprentice mage who always practiced with the swordsmen, and who like him, was taught by one of the best masters of the kingdom. As he neared the gates he spotted Alister leaving the city in a hurry, with Lily right behind him, carrying her bow. He figured someting was fishy and moved to intercept them. When the two runaways reached a nearby apple tree, Ken jumped out behind them and surprised them with an "Oi, what's up?"<br>After listening to the prince's story on the move he agreed with his old friend. He was sure that Alister was doing the right thing, so without giving anything a second thought he tossed an apple to Alister and smiled like an idiot "Mind if I join?" He didn't have much money left from his recent trip, only his sword and some medicine, but he knew that his friend would need help in his quest. He looked back at the capital and let out a sigh. Finishing his training could wait, right now he knew where his place was.</em><br><br>And he didn't regret since. He smiled at the prince as he told them their idea. It wasn't a bad idea, not at all. Since that day when they left the capital, several others joined Alister's cause. Ken volunteered to be on the ambush team, saying that striking quick and hard was his speciality. Also, the job of the ambush unit was critical, since he anticipated pursuers to be on their trail. He knew that it was cruical to defeat the enemies as fast as possible, or Alister would be trapped between two forces. And Ken wanted to make sure that doesn't happen himself.<br>Once everyone took their position, Ken along with the others in the ambush team hid in an old fortress near the mountain path. Soon the enemy showed up, and the myrmidon grasped the hilt of his <em>killing edge</em> with determination. He eyed the footsoldiers of the enemy, then the cavalry. He didn't want to get on the wrong end of the cavalier's long lances, so he decided to stick with the soldiers he could find.<br>Eventually, the bluff worked out. The enemy moved to the seemingly retreating Alister, probably thinking they intimidated the lord. They couldn't be any further from the truth. The trap sprung, and the ambush unit charged out of hiding, catching the enemies by surprise from the back. They engaged the soldiers and cavalry, and now it was up to Alister's group to move into position.<br>A cavalier charged trough the battlefield, seemingly intent on impaling Ken. the myrmidon jumped out of the way in time, and managed to slash the horse on its side. Hope fully this will give an edge to Ken's allies who would engage the rider, but he didn't want to waste time on prolonged battles. He intercepted one of the footsoldiers, and cut him across the back, leaving a bloody gash. The soldier stumbled forward a few more steps then fell to the ground face down.<br>The swordsman looked around to see how the others were doing, and spotted the slow-moving armored knights closing in on them, slowly but surely. Ken figured he would only dull his sword on that armor, since his blade was meant for precise cuts, not for dealing with reinforced armor and shields. He decided to make himself useful in the meantime and ran to aid his comerades.

				Nivek had debated many times whether or not to join.&nbsp; After all, it was not as though he was a premier apprentice.&nbsp; Laverius had consistently shown greater talent, but adventure had always appealed to Nivek, and he was skilled enough to be of use.&nbsp; Still, learning that they were being pursued had bothered him.&nbsp; He hadn't expected to be hunted as a criminal.<br><br>Moving forward with Ken, though, he found himself feeling strangely comfortable.&nbsp; After all, here he was with his training partner, doing exactly what they'd trained in doing.&nbsp; He let Ken handle the riders, quite content to hang back against the more mobile and martially inclined foe.<br><br>Upon seeing the heavily armored knights, Nivek smiled and nudged Ken.&nbsp; If there was any foe he excelled against it was those lumbering fools he could cook inside their armor.&nbsp; As Ken ran back to pass word, Nivek watched the column, wondering if he should offer them a little taste of their prey.

				Irina was quick to guide alister to the point where it would be best to gather the enemy. She had no real like of lances having watched the draco knights training all her life. she being a myrmidon required close range to be able to fight and she was honestly a bit worried about the reach of the lances. after showing alister the way she branched off and hid waiting for the right moment to strike. she waited for one of the lance wielding footmen to dash by and that's when she stepped out of hiding. She gripped her killing edge tightly and aimed for the mans slightly exposed neck. the blade met flesh and sank in leaving a trail of crimson gushing into the air and splattering a dark color on the ground. in a matter of moments the man's head was completely severed. the head toppled to the ground and bounced a few feet and the body dropped pouring crimson from the whole in the neck. Irina was forced to jump back taking a slight graze from the lance of one of the cavaliers. she hissed as the pain surged aross her arm from the cut it wasn't anything major but it still stung slightly. she saw the gash in the side of the horse from the ken's blade. she made another gash in the horse and darted away before the man could strike at her again.

				Lily was still unhappy about being saved by the Duchess Morgan. Sorry,- former Duchess Morgain. Giving Irina a mistrustful glare the entire time they'd made their escape. There wouldn't have been any need for them to escape in such a manner if she had just let them through in the first place, but their detainment had allowed these forces to spread throughout the territory.<br><br>The fact Irina lead the way to the point she felt best suited to Alister's plan only gnawed on Lily's thoughts even more, "Are you sure we can trust her Alister?" Spoken without restraint to his ears as she follows along beside him. She did know that area better than the rest of them at least, having grown up here.<br><br>Once they arrive Lily makes her way into the hills, some of her suspicions alleviating themselves, this did seem like a good place for an ambush at least.<br><br>Waiting for the enemy to arrive, Lily stares sadly at the approaching cavaliers, <em>If only there was another way.</em> Firing arrows into the enemy midst once the battle starts, not targeting the cavaliers or heavily armoured troops herself, who can't easily make their way through the hills towards her anyway, instead focusing on weakening the footmen. <br><br>

				Kain brought his stallion to a stop on the end of a grassy ridge overlooking the nearby area. In the distance it looked as if the battle had already begun. "Damn, its already begun!" He muttered under his breath. He turned behind him to see the light figure of the Curate Lelian trailing behind him, growing out of breath.<br><br>Using her staff to support her weight Lelian reached the ridge and stood next to Kain "Has the battle started?" She asked wearily her legs trembling under the strain. Kain looked back at her and smiled "The battle started a long time ago, this is just a skirmish, wait up here and catch your breath, I'll go on ahead and see what I can do to help them" He finished before rearing his horse and galloping down the path and towards the front lines.<br><br>Exhausted Lelian takes the opportunity to sit down and catch her breath, her skirt torn along one side when she tripped up earlier. "Those Lancorian bastards they will pay, do you hear me? You will pay!"

				Nero stood along side the knight that planned the assualt on Lancors prince.He stood there,analyzing,formulating battle plans on how to best sweep up aand attack the prince head on.He figured from his school days the healer is the best so the enemy cannot heal and maintain their defenses.He smiled and drew his Iron sword.It was a weaker variant than what he was use too but he obliged.<br><br>He waited pataintly for the knight to give him the green light.He wanted to burst out of the gates like a race horse but he was given a small reprimand.It seemed like an eternity to him but in fact was only 2 minutes.Once he was allowed,he burst forth,ready to cut down anything.<br><br>He saw the resistence's healer.A cute and tall women.He felt it would be a shame to kill her,a weakness he had on the battlefield.But he sucked it up and charged right at her.He ran up to her,stood his ground and began to swing his sword towards her neck.

				Alister found himself grinning slightly, a sign that he was uncomfortable or nervous. It started years ago when something like this meant that he'd be able to push himself to his limits, seeing exactly what he was capable of, but these days, it was little more then a muscle reflex. He watched as the soldiers approached, his mouth twitching as his body tried to let more of a grin escape.<br><em>"Man, I hope this works..."</em><br><br>As the soldiers got closer, Alister rose his arms in the air and dropped his sword to the ground.<br>"I surrender, I know that we can't win this fight..."<br><br>His heart started to hammer in his chest, causing him to worry about how his allies would interpret this. He hadn't told them that he had planned on feigning a yield, so he hoped that they would catch on, and take this as a queue to attack.<br><br>...<br><br>Kain's eyes stalked a particularly fast horseman as he stormed the battlefield, that one seemed like a man on a mission. While he continued to make his way to the battlefield, he kept an eye on the other horseman, instantly U turning when he realized who the dark armored man's target was. Speeding back to Lelian, he placed his spear in the path of the knight's sword, blocking the strike.<br>"Attacking a woman? a curate!? How low are you people!?"<br><br>He glared at him, even though he knew this man for all of three seconds, he had a feeling that this man stood for everything that Kain hated. Attacking the weak, exploiting cheap tactics, and doing whatever it took to win. Such combat ploys were unforgivable to Kain.<br>"Now you answer to me."

				He was shocked at the amazing speed of this man.It disturbed him slightly but shook his head."How low am I?You don't know even know why Im here."he said as his horse backed up and moved his sword back from the recoil.They were both trained well but he had the advantage with the better weapon.But its the wielder that determines everything."You will fall beneath my blade!"he said charged in for another strike,this time at the unprotected part of his right armpit

				Lelian was resting trying to recover from the exertion. Her staff resting nearby, as the sounds of combat ring loudly in her ears. She hated it, why do people fight, its just so pointless. She felt like crying. <br><br>Slowly, getting faster and faster. "Whats that?" She raised her head "A horse? Getting faster!?" She looked around in a panic until she saw Nero charging towards her. Her face turned ghostly white unable to react to him.<br><br>Bracing for her death, closing her eyes tight, but the sword never fell, no wound. "What happened?" She looked up to where Nero to see Kain now fighting him... "No... Please stop... Please... STOP FIGHTING!" She screamed, picking up her staff and stood up, her legs trembling but her eyes determined to defend herself.

				Kain was preparing to strike back at Nero, after avoiding the man's most recent attack. However, before he could even begin to counter, he heard Lelian shout. Backing away out of Nero's attacking range out of pure instinct, he looked back at the curate to see exactly how flustered she was by the two of them fighting.<br>"Lelian?"

				Irina stood waiting for the next opponent to arrive as she had her back to another rock. "this...is much different than i would have expected" she quitely stated to herself as she stared at the crimson fluid dripping from her sword. her father had always told her that human lives were far too easy to take and she had always said he was joking but now she realized just how easy it was to take a life without feeling any remorse for it. that soldier had been her first kill and the horse of the cavelier had been her second stroke at bloodfilled creatures. she wasn't sure whether she liked the simplicity of it all or not.

				Ken was maneuvering the battlefield as best as he could. He parried the attacks of a lance soldier and tried to tumble past him, but tripped in a stone and fell to his side. The soldier tried to finish him and raised his lance to deliver the coup de grace. The myrmidon knew he didn't have time to avoid or parry it so he decided to throw his blade and take the bastard with him. However, it never came so far, because just as the enemy was about to strike him down, an arrow landed in his shoulder, injuring and distracting him.<br>Ken jumped up, a painful feeling in his side telling him that he managed to injure himself in the fall. The two things he though were: 'stupid mountains' and 'nice shot Lily'. He punched the enemy in the face with his sword pommel, and knocked him out cold.<br>He moved back a bit, trying to regain his breath but never stopping in any one place. As he moved around the others, he spotted Irina with her back against a rock, standing there waiting for the enemy.<br>"What are you doing!? Move, do you want to die!?" - he yelled as he saw the twice wounded cavalier turn around.

				<em>"What are you doing!? Move, do you want to die!?"</em> Irina heard Ken yell this and she eyed the cavalier turning back. a slight smile lit her lips as she waited for the enemy to come at her.&nbsp; the cavalier jerked slightly as an arrow slammed into his shoulder but managed to regain enough balance to charge with the lance headign towards Irnia's position. she was calculating the distance and wanted to make this work "Hey......do you mind providing a little help?" she called over to ken making a slight gesture towards the cavalier. as it neared she was able jump up on the lance and run along it's lenght bouncing off the cavaliers shoulders forcing him to jolt in his saddle. she quickly ran ove beside ken and stated "thanks for the warning there.....i got lost in though for a moment"

				Nivek glanced over, noting that the mounted forces were already at the prince.&nbsp; If he didn't do something, they'd be overwhelmed and all this would be for nothing.&nbsp; He made his way down the hill as stealthily as he could, moving slowly toward the group of knights.&nbsp; Once close enough, he focused on a knight on the outside of the group, making sure he picked one on the side and not point, as being on the front was an honor for only the toughest among them.&nbsp; Taking a breath to calm himself first, he went into action, causing a ball of fire to appear on the armor of the knight.&nbsp; As soon as he was spotted he began backpedaling away, perpendicular to the direction of the group.

				Lily probably had one of the greatest views of the battlefield from her position high in the hills of anyone in the group. Taking great care in her shots, hoping the injured soldiers would retreat rather than fight on after having an arrow strike them, counting as her comrades down the forces opposing them. <em>One soldier, and there's another.</em> Gasping as she spots one of the enemy cavaliers dash around the hills, circling behind their ambush and out of her sight but shaking her head to clear the confusion just in time to notice Ken struggling, nocking an arrow immediately an letting it fly, not taking as much care to avoid the vitals this time, concern for her comrade overriding her hesitation.<br><br>Filled with a sense of urgency now, she moves farther down the hills, spotting the Cavalier who'd so far managed to endure two blows to his mount and keep on trucking, and firing an arrow at him as well. <br><br>She quickly looks around for another target as Irina downs this tough opponent, the two advancing armour knights finally closing in on the group just behind the two remaining straggling footmen.&nbsp; No other targets left in the valley they'd laid this ambush.&nbsp; With another shot, Lily grows concerned as her arrow bounces harmlessly off one of the armour knights thick plates, doing little more than bruising the flesh beneath. Before Lily has time to grow depressed, she witnesses the armour knight falter as he's struck by a ball of fire from Nivek. The resulting damage is not readily apparent aside from a few scorch marks on the knight's armour, but he's barely able to move after the spell struck home.

				Ken nodded at Irina, but didn't take his eyes off the cavalier who turned around frustrated, preparing for another charge.<br>"Hey, can you do that again?" - he asked, but was only answered with a confused look - "That jump you did right now...can you do it again? That long lance will be hard to dodge so we need to get him down before he can land a hit...because that will be fatal."<br>Irina agreed and the two swordfighters prepared for the approaching enemy. Ken was the first to move, starting to run straight at the cavalier, the swordmistress only a couple of steps behind him. Just before he was in range for the rider's lance, Ken tumbled past him and slashed upwards with his blade during the roll. At the same time, Irina used the distance he bought him to build her own momentum, and leapt in the air while the enemy rider was trying to stab at the redheaded myrmidon. She brought her killing edge down, slashing downwards at the horseman.<br>The cavalier realized that he made a fatal mistake in charging both swordfighters, and tried to jump off the horse that was already collapsing under him due to Ken's low attack. He was caught however, by Irina's airborne strike, and there was no escape. Horse and horseman fell to the ground, with the momentum of their charge, probably breaking several bones.<br>Ken got up from his roll, and Irina landed not far from him. The entire thing was over in a second.<br>"That's one rider less... and some fancy swordplay." - the male myrmidon noted, while giving a thankful nod to Irina, who let out a deep sigh as she looked at their handiwork.

				Alister picked up his blade and charged at the last soldier, a little bit relieved and frustrated at the same time. Frustrated that his plan had done absolutely nothing, and that there was no ambush, and relieved that it didn't make a bit of difference, as his allies had walked all over the unprepared and poorly trained opponents. He had forgotten to factor in the skills and abilities of his own allies, it was something that he'd have to take into account from this point onward. Alister swung his blade at the last soldier, aiming for a downward slash on his shoulder. However, the soldier blocked with his spear and spun around, slamming the back end of his spear into Alister's side. He had forgotten that they had requested to bring the prince in alive, however, that would be the deciding factor in this fight.<br><br>Recovering swiftly, Alister charged at the soldier again, this time stabbing out at his chest. The soldier backed away to avoid the stab, sweeping his spear across Alister's feet. Unfortunately for the soldier, Alister saw this attack coming, as it was the most obvious counter that would be most effective in the situation. Jumping just slightly upward, he brought his feet down hard on the spear, ripping it from the soldier's hands, not even a moment later, he sprung forward and dug his blade into the neck of the soldier. As the last man fell to the ground, Alister surfaced from the trench that would have had the ambush in it, and looked at his group. All that remained of the enemy was the chevalier that was engaging Kain, and the knight that was guarding the gate. Looking back behind him, Alister saw rapidly approaching reinforcements, the dark army was quickly closing in on the fleeing Lancor group.<br>"Everybody! Mobilize now and get ready to get out of here, we're leaving!"<br><br>....<br><br>Kain hesitated when he heard Lelian shout for them to stop fighting. How could she honestly say such a thing, were it not for Kain's intervention, she'd be dead at the hands of this monster right now... He even looked like a monster! The only things that Kain saw beneath the helmet were a pair of red eyes. While he had absolutely no idea what was going on in the healer's mind, he wasn't going to do anything until he had an answer, backing further away from the attacking Chevalier, he continued to stay in between him and Lelian as he turned his head towards her, still keeping the attacker in his puerperal vision.<br>"What are you saying? This guy attacked you"&nbsp; &nbsp;

				Lelian was breathing deeply, her knuckles white from how tightly she was holding her staff. A deep blue fire of dispair in her eyes, was this really what battle was like? Nothing could have prepared her for this. One... Two steps forward, a desperate determination to end this battle as soon as possible swept over her. <br><br>"Stop fighting now! There is no need to battle it is pointless! You people are killing peoples fathers, sons, brothers and uncles! Such a poor waste of life!" She yelled, her staff pulsing with a blue aura that lit the area around her, several tears staining her cheeks. "There... Is just no need for such bloodshed..."

				Nero looked at the girl with some what of a sadness. He wasn't sure what to do. He never killed a woman before but he wasn't sure what protocol he should follow. He sighed and decided speak instead of cut. Maybe his words were a more powerful weapon than his blade.<br><br>"How come you want us to stop? We were born and bred to fight.

				Lelian glared daggers at the Cavalryman, a deep anger in her eyes. "You idiot! Nobody is breed to fight, we are breed to live! Not to take that away!" She cried out, tears welling up in her eyes yet again, but the determined expression on her face kept her from freaking out. <br><br>"I choose to heal because I value human life!

She felt so strongly, so deeply about the need not to kill, Kain felt obligated to give her what she wanted, if only to calm her down for now.<br>"Take it easy Lelian..."<br><br>He turned towards Nero, speaking in a slightly more stern voice.<br>"I'm taking a rain check on our little fight, I advise you leave... now"

				He looked at her with awe. He had never seen a woman with such determination in her eyes. She wielded such mighty power as well. But most of all he couldn't stand seeing a woman cry. He got off his horse and was careful when stepping forward.<br><br>"Do you believe you can do much on the battle field without entering the fray?"<br>He asked her and wondered on her answer. He looked at Kain. "Watch it or your horse is gonna be missing a leg."

				Lelians breath deepened, distressed by the power pulsing through her staff, her emotions getting the better of her. This never happened before, she didn't want to lose control. Her knuckles were as white as the aura. <br><br>"I... Don't know what difference I can make... but as long as I can save even one life, then it is worth it" She screamed the last part the white aura dispersing brightly into the air, illuminating the area entirely for a few seconds. She fell to her knees panting, those touched by the white light bathed as their wounds began to close. Before she passed out on the floor.

				A massive explosion clashed throughout, the resounding noise of a ferocious bolt of electrical energy contested Leon's blade. He forced his arm to the side, reflecting the bolt of lightning off the tip of his sword. However, it hadn't come without it's own price. His blade was nearing its limits, on the verge of crumbling from the mere grip he carried it with, the old and tattered iron sword threatening to give up on him at any moment.<br><br>The powerful mage before him only cackled with laughter, chanting more spells, then directing their awakened rage. He cast yet another electrical surge of magic toward him, Leon kicking off the ground, flipping through the air, springing off his hands, attempting to dodge the blast.<br><br>He did, but as it hit the ground before him, dirt and debris was kicked into his face, faltering him a moment before a forceful blow to his chest was delivered. He gasped for air, his body being sent backward, careening into a rather large rock pillar. Body crumpling as he fell to the ground, his iron sword falling from his grasp now. He coughed, having been hit with a rather formidable lightning strike, by an even more formidable Sage.<br><br>The Sage gracefully moved his fingers, hand, and right arm all in a single fluid motion, directing a last spell. His death seemed near, but he couldn't do anything about it. His body felt paralyzed, unable to move, but he had to. In order to survive, he would have to move. And so, that is what he did. The would-be killer of Leon, smashed violently against the rock pillar. Pebbles and chunks of rock exploded from the formation, creating a bit of a dusty, rock powder behind. Panting heavily, Leon gripped his iron sword, sweeping it up from the ground. He looked toward the maniacal Sage, now with the intent of killing his assailant.<br><br>Why had the evil bastard even begun to fight Leon? His crazy brain had thought Leon was schmoozing his daughter, but he'd only saved her from a few bandits. The limey assholes were trying to steal her coin purse, and in return, they were met with Leon's blade. It was in a better condition then, but that was some time ago, and Leon had worse things going on now.<br><br>The magic-user turned, after the clamor had settled, he realized that Leon had lived. This fact made him even more angry, yet he grinned, as if he was glad to get a chance to kill Leon once more. "Alright boy, your life ends... Now!" As the final words spewed passed his lips, Leon ran forward, charging the Sage, all the while, a prominent right arm lifted. Palm facing Leon's form, the Sage cursed while spilling out another chant, a violent lightning bolt erupted from the palm, and Leon, put his blade in harm's way. The iron sword had taken all it could handle, the blade shattering into oblivion, but had reflected the lightning strike before it gave its last pewter cough.<br><br>"No, now you die!" Leon cried out, but another voice stopped him.<br><br>"Leon! Don't!"<br><br>It was the Sage's daughter, and Leon halted his hand. Knowing that the woman had not wanted her dastardly father to die, despite his actions, Leon only sent his foot upward, striking the man's lower abdomen. His hand wrenched, arm lifted, then brought the hilt into the skull of the Sage, rendering him unconscious.<br><br>Panting, Leon turned to Silvia, the man's daughter. "I am sorry, but I had to at least knock him out," Leon pleaded, "However, I don't have time to talk much. I am currently on my way towards my home city to see my mother, and now, without a weapon, it will be much more difficult to protect myself, and others. So, before the night comes, I will hopefully have reached another town. Until then, I bid you ado," he put frankly, leaving with only Silvia's goodbyes fleeting from his ears.<br><br><hr><br>That was two days and two nights ago. Leon still had the funny feeling that the three of them had not seen the last of one another, but one could never be sure in this world. Leon might never get to see his mother again, let alone anyone else. Just as Leon began to think about his home, his mother, and all of the things he left behind so long ago, he heard the crashing of metal against metal. He halted, stopping to wait for another crash of weaponry. It rang loudly, he was close, but he might be able to slink past them unnoticed. As he came through a patch of trees, he found himself among several eyes, none really bearing on him, since there was a battle ensuing.<br><br>The echoes in the trees must have thrown the sounds around a bit, because he'd walked right into the battlefield by mistake. However, now was not the time to be cursing himself for silly mistakes, but making up for them by making a run for it. Which he did, charging forward, he tried to run behind the action, hoping the qualm would prove too interesting for him to be seen.<br><br>[OOC || The first bit is to show off a bit of Leon's skill as a swordsman, and to introduce an alternate character.. And Silvia, a character who I was wondering if anyone would like to pick up. If not, I can do the part, but I would prefer someone to play Silvia's character. She'll be an important character in Leon's plot later on.]

				The black clad knight laughed at the impudence of the former dutchess who stood before him. "HAHAHAHA!!! The prince has run away and the order for his capture went out so that we could take him back to the king who is most displeased. AND all nobles who have antagonised the king over the Soravel invasion have been ousted per his majesties orders." <br><br>The Lady in question wasn't terribly thrilled "so......i'm not the only one who's been wrongly ousted? you people don't even care about the traditions and people of the land you just want them labor for you!" she was angry but she knew her sword would do nothing to his plate mail armor unless she could slip the blade through his visor. However she knew that the prince had a weapon far more effective against the armor than her killing edge. she was trying to calculate the best strategy.

				He looked at the so called "Dutchess" and smilled beneath his armor. He walked up to the girl and took his helmet off. "He&nbsp; has been the wrongdoer all this time?" he said as he pondered this thought. That knight trained him for justice yet he was commiting crimes. How could this go unpunished. "I believe justice is in order." he said as he turned to the knight he once trusted. His red hair only set off his red eyes in anger.

After disregarding this small space/time hiccup as something that wouldn't ever happen again, he stepped forward and looked at the knight. They were running out of time, as reinforcements were closing in very rapidly. "Leave the knight to me, I'm faster, and I have a blade designed to be slipped between armor gaps, he won't stand a chance." <br><br>Alister turned and made his way towards the black knight, pulling out his rapier and getting into a stance.<br>"You're in my way."<br><br>(Pendarious, if you'd be so kind as to keep you're role as the knight...)

				Leon had almost slipped by completely unnoticed when something caught his eye. A girl with the ability to heal wounds at an incredible rate. It seemed that her powers were not limited by a wounds severity either, but Leon couldn't be too sure. Not without having seen it at a closer angle. He wondered if his mother was alright and if she wasn't, would someone with such powers be capable of saving his mother. Leon's mind raced, leaving him open from all sides from being caught in a sort of trance. It was then that Leon realized he'd been stalled, only to watch the healer collapse. His eyes widened, <em>Sacrificial Healing?</em> Leon thought quietly.<br><br>"Shh, quiet now boy," came a voice just as a gloved hand covered his lips. Leon froze with shock and cursed himself for having been caught off guard so handily. The cool, slick feeling of an Assassin's blade crept up against his throat, threatening to cut him open where he stood. This was going to cost him precious time, if not his life. Leon swore to himself that he if made it out of this alive, he would amp up his training for a week. Eating only when absolutely necessary and sleeping would only come once he'd passed out.<br><br>"Hmhmhmhmhm," hummed the Assassin coyly, smirking as he nudged Leon to walk forward. The young man from Anderien complied without question, fearing that his mother could be worsening in condition as he wasted time here. "Hey Garret! Do you think Anderien's bastard prince's son would fetch a decent price as well?" rang out the voice of Leon's captor. As his identity was revealed, Leon's face paled and eyes begin to widen with panic. <em>What the-?!! How could he know that?!</em> Leon tried to shout in retaliation, but was quickly silenced as the blade pressed against his throat tightly.<br><br><div align="center"><strong>Zeke</strong><br><br>Image of the Assassin, Zeke (http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z120/SSJFierceleon/AltairDaemon.jpg)</div>

				[OOC || Sorry for having disappeared for the past couple of days everyone. Had some school things come up.]<br><br>The assassin merely shrugged off the death of his superior, as if he knew that there would always be another somewhere along the line. Leon grit his teeth as he heard the word bastard tossed around so loosely, but the assassin seemed overjoyed. "Yeah, heh heh. Quite the catch, I'd say," he mused, giving a lighthearted chuckle. Zeke knew he seemed to be the odd man out, since he was the one person left between them and their advancement, but he was clever. "Don't worry, though. No harm will come to this Prince, at least not until I get the permission to torture the bastard to my heart's content," continued the man, his eyes slowly hovering to the left side.<br><br>"Trying to assassinate me, will you?" mused Zeke as he released Leon, spun and slashed upward only to have Leon in his clutches again in such a swift and fluid movement that even a trained eye may've had trouble keeping up with. The would-be killer stood there wide-eyed and blood spurting from his throat profusely, "You obviously have never heard of me, have you? I'm Lancor's Assassin General, the OmniShadow." Just then, the sound of hooves beating could be overheard. "Ahh.. And there is my ticket out of here," he cooed before he turned to greet the horsemen who quickly blocked any sort of advance.<br><br>Leon cursed himself and looked back to the other prince, urging him to run. "Get out of here while you still can! I can't fight either way, my blade is so worn that it would just break against their armor," he pleaded, only to receive a hilt into the side of his head which rocked him a bit. He slumped slightly, allowing himself to put dead weight on the Assassin. Being a nimble fellow, and not one of brawn, Zeke struggled a bit with the added weight and just let the bastard drop, kicking him for being such an insolent fool. Leon spun to his back, kicking with both feet into Zeke's ankles, making him fall forward toward Leon. Being the resourceful fighter he was, Leon had already risen his blade, causing Zeke to fall along it, skewering the general through the right side. Zeke had just barely managed to shift his body to the left, leaving only his right side to be cut badly, but nothing vital was hit. He gripped his side in pain, shouting out orders to his men.<br><br>Leon rolled away from him, and stabbing the lead horse in the chest, his iron blade finally giving way and snapping within the beast's sternum. This left Leon with nothing more than a dull, rusty point about three inches long, which he stabbed into the ground to gave him something to use as a hitch to shove off of as he darted away from the calvary.

				Kain shook his head at the sight, he jumped onto his horse and moved swiftly over to the prince at the gate, careful not to allow Lelian to fall. Looking down at him, Kain skipped the etiquette where he would jump from his horse and bow before Alister, speaking in a swift and serious tone as he saw Alister draw his blade and start to make his way towards the struggling Leon.<br>"My lord! You must get out of here, if you wish to give that man aid, please allow me to be the one to go."<br><br>Alister's eyes widened a little bit in surprise, he put his blade away and looked up towards the rather bold horseman.<br>"What is your name? Horseman?"<br><br>Kain pulled Lelian from the horse and handed her to Alister, who set the unconscious girl down on the ground carefully as Kain took off towards the struggling bastard prince.<br>"I'm Kain of the skyward order! I shall return swiftly my lord!"<br><br>Alister nodded, looking over at whoever was nearby. He watched as other members of his group gathered, speaking quickly and doing his best to keep an air of leadership about him as reinforcements made their way into the battleground.<br>"Everybody!

				Clawing and scrounging for his life, Leon quickly got some distance between himself and Zeke but not before an arrow ripped through his shoulder from a riding archer. He cursed and crumpled to the ground, hearing hoves beating behind him. He looked up painfully, then grinned to see it was someone from his side. "Thank you," he murmured through grit teeth, making due on the man's orders and quickly sported up to the horse as if he was a Paladin. "I appreci-!" Leon coughed hoarsely, looking on into the man's eyes in despair before slumping against his armor with a heavy sigh that pooled blood from his lips. Before the pair got away, another arrow pegged Leon in the lower back. A non-lethal blow if it was treated quickly, but the lack of armor ensured that the arrow sliced through the air and deeply into his body to render him unconscious. However, before the bowman could get off another arrow, they were nothing but a memory.

				Lelian's eyes fluttered lightly as she slept, her rest getting disturbed with each noise and jolt from the horse. She thought she heard voices, one was Kain, but she couldn't make out the other, or what they were saying to eachother... After being put on the ground, the knock of her head on the hard ground caused her to stir. But she was still unable to break the hold of unconciousness. Words murmuring as she slept. "I...

				Kain chose to take an alternate route to avoid any ongoing attacks, riding off through the hills and trying to break the border. Once he was sure he was safe, he took a small break and poured a bit of his vulneary on Leon's injuries.

Shaking his head gently, he used Lelian's words to renew his convictions, he had to have an answer about what had changed in his father. He had to do something that would restore Lancor's image in the eyes of the world.<br><br>Part of his mind considered the chance of a worst case scenario, about Lancor being condemned for it's actions, regardless of anything that Alister did. He couldn't bring himself to think about that, he couldn't lose his home.<br><br>After a few hours of quick travel, Alister finally felt somewhat safe, he ordered camp be set up in the middle of a wide plain, confident that they wouldn't have to worry about their pursuers for a bit longer.

There's no organized posting style, so if one of you are talking to another player, treat it like a 1on1 RP. If you have a character that's not in the main group, there's a few different things you can do. You can either just write a small narrative about what they're doing, or you can have them come upon the camp, which would be an opportune time for them to join in the fight. In any case, I'm opening the gates now, have fun.)

				Irina strolled with the group a feeling of remorse weighing her down. As they arrived at a place that the prince believed would be safe she approached him and bowed politely "my prince.........i believe i owe both an apology and an explanation correct?" her soft voice spoke from her bowed position.<br><br><br><br>High upon the ramparts of the Lancorian Castle Stood a knight. This knight had silver armor and shoulder length black hair, as well as a bristling moustache. Orenius Maxwell was this knights name. He was part of the Royal guard that protected the king of Lancor. Orenius happened to have had a bit of free time so he came to the battlements to stare out into the distance. He was a man who was loyal to the country of Lancor not just it's king. He believed the king had gone mad and hoped that the prince remained sensable for his kingdoms sake.

				Lelians eyes gradually opened as if still in a daze, tilting her head slowly to the side, something was amiss, her foggy mind tried to contemplate what it was... Then slowly, with a twitch of her hand she realised, her staff! Where was it? Shooting to her feet in a panic she rapidly searched for her beloved tool. Realising she wasn't alone, her eyes focusing.<br><br>Her mind focused on a single symbol... The Lancorian one! Her eyes immediately focused but her mind became more cloudy with rage, was she captured? Would explain why her weapon was missing, but why wasn't she chained? Did they not see her as a threat? She will prove that wrong. Darting for anything nearby that could be used as a weapon. Her fingers clenching a spear, not quite her staff, but similar enough. "Who are you, what do you want from me! Lancorian bastards! Give me back my damn staff!" Her voice bellowed in anger and panic, she might not be trained with the weapon. But a cornered animal will fight with all its ferocity.

				Alister bolted to his feet, somewhat startled by the sudden shouting that rang out behind him. Putting a hand on his blade, he looked Lelian in the eye, knowing that he had failed to take notice of her as soon as she was awake. He forced himself to relax and take his hand off the blade, standing up straight and looking at the obviously infuriated girl. "I am prince Alister, of Lancor... the country you seem to hate so very much."<br><br>He crossed his arms, already knowing the reason for her hate, it was the same reason that the entire world was angry at Lancor right now. It was the unjustified invasion of Soravel. "Though if you think that I agree with the decisions of my deluded father, you're wrong. Please put the spear down, let's talk about this"

				Lelian gripped the spear tightly, she realised that it was damaged during the battle since she felt a painful throbbing in her hand where a fractured piece of wood pierced her skin. The blood trickling down the shaft of the spear until it started to pool on her other hand.<br><br>"Hate Lancor? Do you know what they've done!? Fathers butchered, Mothers and daughters at the mercy of soldiers and bandits, sons being made examples of to make sure there is no uprising. Entire families in poverty, starving, ailing from the suffering you bastards inflicted upon them unjustly! I came out here to save people! To try and reverse the damage your countrymen did to those who did not deserve to witness such suffering!" Her tears dripped from her face, mixing with her blood on the spear. Shaking weakly, she has overdone it quite badly, her body sending shockwaves of pain and anguish through her entire being. But it was only a fraction of the suffering her countrymen have had to endure.

				Alister balled his fist, Lelian's words had hit a bit of a nerve in his heart. He had forced himself not to think about the atrocities that his father's armies likely committed, but to hear them spewed out through the lips of an infuriated healer, he had to face it. His stomach churned a bit, and he felt like he wanted to take his family's tarnished name and throw it into the mud. Nonetheless, he was the prince, he was a leader. He had to be an example to all others, he couldn't be weak... he couldn't allow himself to appear weak, or his allies wouldn't be able to believe in his strength, his wisdom.<br>"What my father ordered was unforgivable!

"At the time i thought that his majesty had changed the color of the royal guard since they seemed to be accompanying him to the meetings........however........when he announced the attack on Soravel.........the black soldiers saluted and left him...........many amongst the nobility was quick to try and talk his majesty out of the decision but he declared that we should remain silent and that the only reason he asked our opinions was simply to see what we thought to begin with.......he never really needed us he said........." <br><br>Irina paused and then she stated " it was several days ago....a messanger arrived giving me the report that prince alister was arriving in Almarius the land my family had been in charge of for generations........and that i had orders to capture him and restrain him until the royal guard arrived to retrieve him............i was at a loss for words at the time........however a memory had come to me a memory of something my father once said........" she paused again but briefly "He said that royal orders should be fallowed under most circumstances and so i decided since the order didn't involve any harm to outsiders that it would be alright to fallow...........and so i considered how i would go about the deed.......using a knock out drug came to mind but i decided against that and merely invited him in.........after i heard his story i began to feel guilty about my decision but fallowed the order none the less........"<br>Her voice caught at this point but she forced herself to continue "At that time everything was well and didn't seem amiss......however they came......their leader barged in with a royal notice informing me of my removal from office and the warrent for my execution......he proclaimed that his majesty declared all who opposed the invasion of Soravel had been ousted and executed........i was stunned........and nearly resigned to my fate.......but i remember that the prince still bore hope for our country and was quick to flee and free him and his companions from my dungeons..........and here we are now............i deeply apologize to you my prince........for all the trouble i have caused you........" <br><br>She stopped speaking and bowed again "you may end my life as a traitor or spare me and have my aid......it is your choice my prince"

He only caught the end of Irina's summary, and let out a bit of a sigh as he saw how worked up Lelian had gotten.

				Orenius turned and went down the stairs off of the ramparts and to the courtyard. The knight had served for some time now and was amongst the mightiest knights in the land yet he refused to take the position of General why? because he felt he was yet worthy of the promotion. He didn't like the black armored soldiers but he dealt with them because they were allied with his king. Orenius was waiting for his chance to leave and find his prince the one last hope of his kingdom.

				As Kain and Leon strode into camp, the slumped Leon slowly began to stir. His eyes and teeth clenched tightly in pain as he could now feel his wounds begin to burn and stitch themselves together with the powerful vulnerary's potent solution performing its magical job. He let out no cries of pain, only looking as if he'd bitten into a fresh lemon. He grinned and looked up, seeing the tension growing within the camp. He just gave a curt bow to introduce himself before laying against Kain's fine horse to rest a little while longer.

				Lelian tried her best to listen to the explaination the "prince" gave her. Hollow words all of it. This bastard was like all the rest, except he was no longer part of their exclusive club. Feeling her hand going numb from the cut she gentle eased the pressure on that hand. Now with no pressure the blood flow became even more significant. Even in her anger she knew she had to get this fixed, pulling out a vulneary and applying it to the wound. While she was doing this she was listening to the conversation. <br><br>Two guards tried to disarm her but she swung the spear in their direction. They needed no other signal to stay the hell back from her. Feeling her chest cramp under the strain of acting to quickly. She buckled to one knee. "If you really mean what you say. Which I seriously doubt! Nobles and royals alike are all shallow of word and action unless it suits their needs." She tried to point the spear in Allisters direction but was unable to muster the stregnth. Even without the strain of her healing she had very little constitution or training for combat. Breathing deeply, tears still gliding down her face as her emotions just refused to subside. Here was the prince of the country that made hers suffer so. Unless he was able to prove what he meant, he will have another thing to add to his regrets. Lelian had no chance of defeating the prince. But she sure as hell would try.

				Kain's eyes widened in surprise as his attention went to Lelian, who was confronting Alister. He recalled how she had such a strong hatred of Lancor, and the realization came to his mind that her hatred was coming to a head. Stepping forward, Kain attempted to reason with her. His voice had a hint of desperation in it, as he didn't want to see any harm come to either the prince he owed his loyalty to, or the healer who he had come to this battlefield with. <br>"Lelian! Alister ran away from the castle after the invasion into Soravel, there's a warrant out for his arrest and a bounty on the head of his comrades, does that sound like somebody who's in agreement with the king to you?"<br><br>He bit his lip, wondering if she would listen to his words, and fearing that she may hate him for being with Lancor.

He wondered what exactly that child of his was planning on doing.

Though he wondered what a single knight would be able to do against the small army that Alister was starting to assemble. Regardless, it wasn't like Orenius was a vital piece of the army, to the king, he was every example of the term 'expendable'.

				It didn't seem like much longer before the young swordsman stirred once again, but it had been at least a little over an hour. Lifting himself up from the horse, he sat in the saddle lazily. Stretching, he felt no pain of any kind. He popped his neck to either side and grinned a large white grin as he looked at his body. He was without even a scar. "Alright! That stuff works wonders!" he exclaimed, "Thank you, good sir. Could I-?" suddenly, he stopped and looked around the camp, realizing he was the only cheerful member of the party. Feeling a hot flush on embarrassment in his face, Leon quickly dismounted and popped more of his aching joints from the long, awkward nap.<br><br>Looking between the men and a lone, frustrated woman, Leon wondered what he'd missed since he'd been sleeping. He noted another woman across the way, clearly staying out of the squabble. He thought of going to join her, but it was unlikely that this thing would blow over quickly if someone, a third party, didn't step in. Leon slowly approached the middle ground between them, trying to calm the situation down. He wasn't exactly sure what was going on, but he knew one thing was for sure. There would be no more spilling of anyone's blood tonight. This was a time of rest and relaxation, which he was keen on enjoying. "Let's just calm down, alright everyone? What is going on here?"

He was a lot more relaxed and easygoing than in battle. On his way trough the camp the swordsman congratulated and thanked the others for&nbsp; their efforts, and he noted that he saw some new faces. He finally spotted the small group of people with Alister, the two other myrmidons and the priestess along with a knight.<br>"Hey what's all the commotion here? Check this out, Alister!" As all the gazes turned to him, he felt like he's an uninvited guest among the nobles... So he did what he always and didn't mind. "I found this barrel of wine in the gatehouse.

But I hope to become a great man, just like him one day," he began to lead off subject, then shook his head. " Sorry, but I don't think "Your" Prince has any more standing in this camp than anyone else here," he spoke, turning to Alister, "No offense, sir."

She thought him to be the biggest traitor here, he was trying to be her friend so she would save these people! <br><br>"Damn him... Damn them all!" She thought. But there is nothing she could do from here, there was too many people. She ran away, her puffy eyes red with tears. She had to find her staff and get away. That is all that was on her mind.

"I am going to Lancor, and I will find the cause and end it. I will not run away from them, I know Allisters intentions are pure, thats why I did not attack him" She tried to stare him down. "He is a child and does not know true suffering, no more should be stained by this. Only those who are wrong should end it!" <br><br>Her ferocity and agressiveness was clouding her plan to get within the castle walls, she had a idea but she has lost all track.

But she steeled herself against what must be done.<br><br>"I am not your friend, or your ally Kain, if your in a fight I will assist you but know that it depends who it is you fight. Or next time I might be on the enemy side, I have no allies. Nor do I want them" She shifted her weight to get him to let go before bolting it once again dissapearing into the trees.

				"Lelian! Lelian!!!" Kain cursed under his breath and averted his gaze, in his mind, her freakout was his fault. He shut his eyes and remembered the kinder, gentler girl that he had encountered earlier that day. If he hadn't brought her into the battle, if he had told her that he was with Lancor, all of this could have been avoided. He shook his head and swallowed up his grief as much as he could. He decided that the best thing to do now was leave Lelian to her own devices, she'd calm down eventually.<br>"Nobody wants to be a lone wolf... I hope you can forgive my ignorance and my pride, Lelian"<br><br>He spoke more to the wind then to anything else, and he was sure that Lelian didn't hear his words. His heart filling with shame, he turned and went back to camp.

				"Who was she?" - Ken asked after Lelian and Kain ran off, with the man calling her name again and again - "Lover's quarrel? There's plenty of new faces we found lately." He then proceeded and introduced himself to the newcomers and added that he's going to be the greatest swordsman of the land. He didn't make a serious impression.<br>"Oh by the way, missy" - he turned to Irina - "those were some good moves out here. You're pretty good with a blade!" He said so with a stupid grin on his face, like he was talking to just another normal person. For him, it was normal though. He didn't like to bother with nobility and formalities unless hard pressed, and he didn't feel the need to do so now. He even called Alister by his name not his title but that might had something to do with them being friends for a time.<br>"Where is Lily and Nivek anyway? They earned some good wine too!"

				Lelian seeked shelter under a tree that was within distance of the camp. Wanting nothing to do with the festivities that were going on inside. It all seemed so wrong to her, she couldn't control her anger, just so much pain, and they were celebrating? Bastards! The lot of them. She pulled her clothing tightly around her, its going to be a cold night. Her cheerful and uneventful life that will never be the same. She was losing herself in her rage, and there was nothing she could do to stop it

				Nero followed out to where Lelian snuck out. She seemed vry angry and he wondered what was wrong.. He noticed all the yelling and fighting coming from her direction so he followed. Evryone else was drinking and partying but he really didn't have a taste for it tonight. "A sober head is one prepped for battle." his fater always said and they could be attacked at anytime. He saw here deep in the forest and came at her from the front, raising his hands up to show her he was unarmed. "Care to talk?"

				Lelian stared at the man as he approached her. Dark disturbed eyes pierced into Nero's very soul, something dark was laying behind her puffy tear ridden eyes. She stood up pointing the staff in his direction. Her hand turning black and crusty with the dried blood on cold night air.<br><br>"Oh look! Its the man who tried to kill me? Come to finish the job?" She growled. "If your here to kill me, just hurry up and do it... It isn't like I have anything left" Her last words would have sounded pitiful if it was not for the bitterness and rage she spoke them. "Or are you here for healing? So you can go off and attack more noncombatants? I'm sure that will forfill your manly ego!"

				"Oi oi I'm not here to do any killing. I just came to see what was the matter. You seem a bit upset and no that was not sarcasm. I may seem like a jackass but I can be nice when I want to."&nbsp; He pulled a hankerchief out of his pocket and nodded. "Here and no I am no pitying you."
