Kin Chronicles Realm: Betrayal of the Guardians

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Korius holstered the sai and drew the katana, cutting right down the middle seam of the gate and cutting down the wooden bard in the middle of the thick gate. He kicked it open and heard a couple grunts to either side as the door swung back shut. Korius leapt through and rolled as he turned around, four other guards protecting the other side of the gate. Two of the guards came running at him and he threw the katana into one guard's face as he ran to the other and punched him. Korius then grabbed the katana out of the fallen one and beheaded the one he just punched.

Kiana wanted more action than just her usual distance fighting at the moment so when the chance arose, she welcomed it. "With pleasure." She responded to Vladimir as she moved over to the tower. The archers tried to shoot at her but had difficulty since she was standing right against the tower wall. She covered herself with the rock from the tower and dug her fingers into the tower wall as she began to climb up it.
When she reached the top, she hopped over the side. "Hello boys..." She said, smirking as she looked at the six guards in front of her. They all looked pretty shocked that one of the people they were fighting off was a female mage. She moved swiftly and punched one of the guards that was closest to her with her rock-covered fist, taking his sword and stabbing him in the chest. She then grabbed a chunk of rock from the tower and threw it at the second guard, hitting him in the face and killing him instantly. She threw a couple more chunks of rock at two more guards, having the same effect as the first one she threw.
The last two guards rushed at her, swords drawn. She kicked one square in the chest with a rock-covered foot, causing his ribs to break and puncture his lung. He screamed in pain then collapsed as he began gasping for air. The second one hesitated when he saw what happened to his comrade, giving Kiana the opportunity to hit him upside the head with her staff, knocking him down before going over to him and snapping his neck. The guard with punctured lungs raised his sword in an attempt to slice her in the side. She quickly grabbed the sword that was still in the chest of the first guard she killed and stabbed the last guard with it. With that, she walked over to the side of the tower and looked down over to the over side where Korius was to see what was happening.

[White Wolf Guardian]

*White tried to act cool about the serious situation and made little battle cry noises that did very little to help* "Hiiii-YAAA!!!" *He made punch and kick gestures nearby the gate, then a couple of guards noticed him down by the gate* "Yeah... yeah, come get some. You guys can't touch this!" *The guards came running down the steps to fight him and then White turned around looking towards the trees away from the border station in midstep and noticed them coming* "Oh crap!" *White took off flipping open his knife and turning around quickly* "Stay back, I have... a butterfly knife!!!" *The wolf flips it around in his paw and the guards actually stopped for a moment and looked at it in his hand and then chuckled, one holding his sides with laughter* "That tiny thing? What are you going to do, stab both of us?" "Err... yes! WOAH what's that over there?!" "Huh?" *The guards turn to look and White runs up and kicks one in the groin and then stabs the other one in the back and runs away back towards the gate* "UGH!" *Both guards seemed to almost both say simultaneously* "You no mess with the wolf!" *He then rather quickly after that statement screams like a girl as a dead soldier falls in front of him from Kiana fighting above* "Ha..ha..." *Awkward silence*

While this melee has been going on, and since Korius and Kiana are probably the most dangerous threats, Felodran considered himself invisible and began to sneak around the camp. Men screamed as they were killed by the party, although the bounty hunter had to admire their bravery... although it could've just been stupidity.

"Now to find the stables... or at least the gate switch...." he thought to himself as he avoided the odd severed hand falling from the battle right in front of him.
Seeing the gate switch, he analyzed what he could do with it. He could see a lever, and decided to give that a shot. Around 5 minutes he stood, struggling to move it, however it would not move.

Standing up and rubbing his chin, Felodran decided to think about how to open this gate another way. He climbed the ladder and glanced at the mechanisms working the gate. All he saw was a bunch of gears and robe and chain. It didn't really mean much to him, he wasn't an engineer he was hired to kill people. Upon closer inspection he saw that there was some sort of blocking mechanisms, that kept the robe from spinning, keeping the gate in place.
"By Jove I have an idea!"

He said to himself, taking an unnecessary heroic pose in the process. Taking a pretty large war axe in both hands. He reeled back for a swing, and chopped downwards on the blocker.

It would take a little bit, but he could chop his way through, as he saw the visible progress.

After awhile of riding Drevo, Fedande and Alexia reached the town. They went in and attracted the eyes of everyone. A few town guards approached and questioned them as they looked around puzzled. "What is wrong with that man?" "He needs a Doctor! Now!" replied Ferdande hastily. "That's the hero, isn't it! Please. right this way!" said the guard as he led them towards White's clinic. As they walked down the road a man came out of a smithy and looked at Drevo. "Captain?!" shouted the man as he rushed over. "Who are you?" asked Ferdande. "I'm Jarik, he knows me. What happened to the captain?" said Jarik. "Jarik? Drevo told us to see you, but he needs to get help from the Doctor first." said Alexia. "What Doctor? The only "Doctor" we had was White, the towns Cleric. But he left with some other guys awhile ago." explained Jarik. "Are you serious? Then what are we going to do?!" asked Alexia. "Bring him in here, I'll patch him up the best I can. Quick now!" said Jarik. Fedande dismounted and he and Jarik got Drevo off the horse and carried him inside. Alexia followed after them.

Both Szardas continued to loose bolts into the fray, the odd soldier fell from the encampment walls with a scream, a large fist sized hole through his chest or helmet.... One bolt missed its mark and ricochetted off the stone wall instead, missing the guard who immediately ducked, shouting...
"Pay a closer eye to your aim Kitt...."
Vladimir closed one eye and loosed another bolt, sending a guard reeling, clutching his stomach... Kitt stuck his tongue out behind his father back, launching another bolt at the guard who had stood back up....

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Korius charged the two soldiers holding the door and beheaded them with the katana. He then assessed the station's remains as he listened to the last of the soldiers die from Kiana and the Szardas' hands. Nothing of importance, nor of any usefulness. Korius pulled his cloak back over along with his hood and called out everyone else. "This side is clear! Come one through, and quickly! Their shift change is in less than an hour, we'll have company if we don't move soon. It's another hour's trek to the nearest village."

[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

Kiana waited to see the deaths of the last two guards on Korius' side and hear him say it was all clear, switching her staff to her left hand. She then moved to sit on the edge of the tower wall then slid off, seeming like she was going to fall to her death to anyone watching. But when she had only moved through the air about five feet, she instantly reached over with her right hand and dug her fingers into the tower wall. This caused her decent to slow as she gracefully slid down the wall. Her feet landed lightly on the ground as she reached the bottom. "Well then let's get going then." She said as she walked towards where Korius stood, switching her staff back to her right hand.

[White Wolf Guardian]

*White heard Korius from a distance and rushed over trying not to trip over a soldier or anything and looked around hoping not to find any spare soldiers around* "Hold up Korius, I'll be right there!" *White followed up and then stopped when he got inbetween Korius and Kiana* "*Breathing* Does anybody... need healing or some medical assistance?" *White pondered looking from her and to him then around to see if anybody volunteered themselves over* "Not much I can really do in a combat situation except the aftermath."

[Entaru]

Entaru walked up behind the group with a bit of a frown.  "I take it that this sort of thing happens often."  The two glass creations were back in orb form again as he placed them back in his cloak.  Sighing, he thought of the implecations of killing those men.  Perhaps they had famlies at home waiting for them.  Maybe a son waiting to hear war stories from his father.  Entaru knelt down by one of the corpses and shut the man's staring eyes.

Ran away for 20 years and his old life still seemed to catch up...

[Srgntcuddles]

"Set him down here, easy now!" said Jarik as he and Ferdande layed Drevo down on a cot in the back of the smithy. "You can help him, right?" asked Alexia barely holding back tears. "I should be able to help him, I've fixed him up before and I can do it again." said Jarik. Jarik went over to a cabinet and took out a bag and came back to Drevo. He set the bag down and opened it as he sat on a stool near the cot. He then opened Drevo's cut robe then tore his shirt underneath open. Alexia looked away after seeing the cut across Drevo's chest and the hole in his shoulder. Drevo's chest was covered in blood, drenching his fur completely turning it a light red almost pink color as the blood mixed with his white fur. Jarik's face grimaced as he turned and looked towards Ferdande. "You there, get me a bucket of clean water from the other room." Ferdande nodded and left the room. Jarik took out some towels from the bag and began to clean up what blood he could from Drevo until Ferdande came back in the room with a bucket of water. Ferdande set the bucket down and Jarik stuck in a towel then went back to cleaning Drevo.

After Jarik cleaned up what he could he took out a suture and some thread and went to work stitching the lengthy cut across Drevo's chest. "What happened to the Captain?" asked Jarik as he worked. "He got into a fight with Elistro..." replied Ferdande glumly. "He is lucky to be alive then..." said Jarik as he finished up stitching the wound on Drevo's chest. He moved onto the wound on his shoulder after that. "I-...Is he going to be alright?" asked Alexia as a tear ran down her cheek. "The bleeding stopped...Captain was never a bleeder, he should live...As for waking up...That's tough to say..." Alexia was shocked to hear that, she began to cry and ran out of the room. "I'm sorry if I upset her..." said Jarik solemly. Ferdande sighed and looked at the door then back to Jarik. "Is there any way he can pull out of this?" "I won't lie...This doesn't look good...He's lost a lot of blood...I think the only way he'll ever wake up if he get's to the cleric...Quickly," said Jarik glumly as he finished stitching Drevo's shoulder wound. He took a few rolls of gauze out of the bag and began to wrap Drevo's wounds.

[KittKat chunky~]

The two rangers met up with Korius and the others, both still kept hoods up and crossbows drawn....
"So.... we keep moving I guess..."
Vladimir watched Korius intently, making sure to keep the crossbow pointed to the ground... Kitt stood just behind him, watching the others with interest....

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

They reached the village the next day, but abruptly left after quickly grabbing food, as there was an alert throughout the guards stationed at the border. The next two days went by without much conversation. They would hike from sun up to high moon. At nights, Korius would watch the camp and the fire, while carving and chipping away at the same metal bar. He sometimes would watch with interest each night, as White tried to learn from the scroll with Kiana's help. During their daily hikes, Korius kept his eyes forward but couldn't help but get a slight headache with Felodran following them and listening to the prattling of an old fart. He continued to reassure himself as they reached high noon on the third day, Bugger, I can't believe going around the cities are throwing us off by 3 days. A 4-day hike gone to a week. It's ok, though. Only 4 more days of this, and we can scratch off one more Guardian.

[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

Kiana hadn't really talked much during the past few days except when she tried to help White figure out his scroll. The information she had given him when he first received the scroll was really the only help she could give to him though. All she did was reiterate it to him when he tried to get it to work. "I'm pretty sure this spell is a powerful one so you're going to have to transfer quite a bit of majicka to it for it to work." She had said one time.
Now they were on the third day of their hike. She was kind of getting bored of the hiking because not much was going on. She looked up at the sky and watched as birds flew overhead and listened to them sing. She looked down at the ground and watched as her staff touched the ground with each couple steps.

[White Wolf Guardian]

*White thought back to what Kiana had told him of the scroll* "More magicka... damn it's gonna be a long haul to decipher this scroll. I'm tired from just a few attempts on this thing, too bad there's not more help out there...unfortunately being the only healer really does make things quite the challenge. I can only keep trying to understand though. At least Kiana knows some things, I wish I didn't bring up some sad memories though." *White put his paws  on the back of his head and kept looking up as he walked along following Kiana avoiding a possible turn of head or looks just to not experience the awkward silence* "It's been boring staring at trees for the past few days, not that it matters as to me we 'get there when we get there'."
