Kin Chronicles Realm: Betrayal of the Guardians

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Korius snorted as he heard screams closing into the small camp. He opened his eyes and drew the katana as Entaru ran over the campfire. "What the...? Old man? What the hell are you doing here? Are you stalking us, you old pervert!? *Places the katana at Entaru's neck after the bees disperse* Or are you here for the reward on my head?" Korius's eyes glared into the old man's ready strike down the old mage if need be.

As the night dragged on the stealthy invaders reached the lighthouse; unknown the Drevo and his family they were poising themselves to blow the lighthouse up. Amongst the team of the dark dressed individuals there was two fire mages channeling their energy together for a powerful blast. Due to the energy they gave off a light was created, alerting Jeril who was begining to nod off atop the lighthouse. He shouted to the others; who quickly rushed outside only to just to barely escape the lighthouse exploding with Fardell and Jeril still inside.

Kiana had just fallen asleep when she heard the screaming and then some scuffling. Slowly opening her eyes, she saw Korius drawing his sword on an old man. She closed her eyes again while he was questioning him. "Could you keep it down. Some of us are trying to sleep here." She groaned. Curling up into a ball, she tried to go back to sleep and ignore them.

[White Wolf Guardian]

*White looked up with cracked red eyes that had heavy eyelids attached after hearing some loud screaming* "Gr...ughh.. Yeah seriously, I'm trying to get some sleep here!" *White barked in a fairly loud manner with bitterness underneath as he grumbled and mumbled his way back to sleep, falling over not that far away from Kiana* "Puzzle... will... be... mine.." *The wolf snored on a low level*

[Entaru]

Entaru glanced at the two before staring down the blade once more.  "Stalking? Heavens no!  Tracking?  Yes.  Bounty? Huh?"  Entaru listed off his answers in a genuinely frightened tone.  "I'm sorry for rushing in like this, but I had a small problem with a beehi-YEOUCH!"  Entaru shook out his robe and a small bee came fliting out of it.

They all looked in grimace at the lighthouse after getting to their feet from the explosion. "My darling!" roared Leera with tears in her eyes. "Father, no!" shouted Drevo's father. Leera drew a short sword and rushed at the four assailants. "Aunt Leera, no!" shouted Layala. Leera ignored her and attacked the four wildly; Drevo and his father rushed in to help her but she was cut down before their eyes. Enraged, Drevo's father lost control and blindly attacked the four with his dual daggers along his son. Drevo took one of them while his father took the other as the two mages fled. Soon enough the remaining two assailants ran away; knowing they were out matched. Drevo and his father took chase as the others followed behind to help. As they reached the bottom of the hill and chased the assailants across the beach Drevo's father was tripped from a hidden assailant under the sand. Drevo noticed and helped him up; just as he did several more hidden assailants rose from the sand. They all surrounded everyone individualy, excluding Drevo and his father.

Korius glared into Entaru's eyes to make sure he wasn't lying as he spoke. Slowly, he retracted the sword and sheathed it. He went back to his spot and picked up his little metal bar again, just picking at it. Eventually, he fell back asleep and dreamt of the past again. When he awoke the next morning, Korius stretched and noticed some bustling over the horizon at the border. There was a group of heavily armed soldiers on horseback heading south from the border station. "Everyone wake up and hide, now! Kiana, cover that pit!" Korius quickly hid behind a wide, split tree and watched carefully. Elistro's elite squad!? Where are they headed?

[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

Kiana had slept pretty well. She dreamed about all the good times she had had with her brother, about them training together. When Korius spoke, she awoke and was on her feet in seconds. Covering the pit without question, she hid behind another tree. Looking around the tree, she spotted the soldiers that were obviously the reason Korius had been so abrupt and she watched them carefully.

[White Wolf Guardian]

*White woke up with a start hearing Korius saying for him and Kiana to hide and jumped up looking around as Korius said to wake up and noticed Kiana going for a tree and then he saw a boulder* "YES!" *He ran over and slid behind it and peeped over the boulder noticing soldiers as well then ducking back down* "Oh yeah, I forgot that's why I don't usually associate with mercenaries.." *White sat there staying quiet and strangely thinking about sleep* "I don't remember what I dreamed about, probably the puzzle I really want to solve." *The wolf looked over at Kiana and then looked over at Korius* "I suppose he know's what he's doing, I'll just wait for a command."

Felodran was in deep trouble. Not with the bounties, but with an angry man who just got horse jacked.

The man walked through the town gates, flouting his riches, and just annoying the crap outta everyone. Felodran thought he was doing everyone a favor by pulling him from his horse and giving him five across the face, then stealing the horse.

The peasants and downtrodden immediately started cheering, but the nobleman wasn't so happy. He called for guards, and they mounted their own stallions and pursued.

"Ahhh the price I pay for having a lil' bit o fun!"

he said as he rode the mighty stead, weaving in and out of trees, and just confusing guards. Glancing to the east, he expected to see the pursuers, and was genuinely surprised when all he saw was smoke.

"A camp sight? All the way out in this neck of the woods? Probably bandits or something.... finally something to kill!

[Entaru]

Entaru had spent the night curled up next to a tree and was still aching from all of the stings when he woke up.  Startled, he did what he would normally do...duck and cover in a bush.  Peeking out of the bush he looked around for what had alarmed Korius in the first place, but saw nothing.  From where he was sitting, he was surprised he could see anything.  Entaru moved some of the leaves back into place, deciding it would be best not to reveal himself for the sole purpose of seeing the enemy.  Or what Korius viewed as an enemy, at least.

[Srgntcuddles]

As Drevo and his family engaged the assailants they were forced to run. They all managed to escape; but they were pursued. Drevo's father and mother decided to hold them off as the rest ran. Drevo was against it at first, but he was then ordered to; he did what he was told and ran. Drevo and the rest of them ran north, in the direction of Korius and them. Little did they know Elistro was riding in their direction.

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

After Elistro and his men disappeared, he came out of the trees and pointed to the station just on the horizon in the west that the soldiers came out of. "Onward to the west. We have to keep pressing. If we can continue to take them down in a timely manner, we might be able to cause confusion. However, we may become predictable, so we have to get this right. The men that passed just now were the elite of the Voronese Knights. They're Kyzen's replacement for armies and they're led by Elistra's brother. We have to be careful where we tread from now on. Let's go."

[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

Kiana moved out from behind her tree. "I wonder who they're going after. Must be something big and important." She said after listening to Korius while swiftly weaving her hair around itself into a braid and tying it with the hair tie that was around her wrist, only taking her as long to braid it as it took her to say what she did. She just shrugged off the curiosity as she began walking. She reached back with her left hand since her staff was in her right hand and put her hood up, her eyes bright and alert within the darkness of her hood.

[White Wolf Guardian]

*White noticed he didn't have his hood on at this point upon noticing Kiana put her's on* "Oh yeah I forgot, I usually do that too... but I suppose the new environment and all the quick happenings have left me out of touch with my usual habits." *White puts the hood over his head and walks out into the open towards Korius after the soldiers are out of view* "So... does this mean we are going to kill some soldiers?" *White puts a paw in his cloak and takes out his butterfly knife as he stands in between Kiana and Korius*
