The Warriors Shall Rise Again

[Shenzii]

Tar-Ryn's ears twitched, the left one moving further back than the right. "Wrong step," She barked as her cloak whipped off of her and her bow was in hand, an arrow ready to pierce the stalking victims. She shut her eyes and reopened them instantly. Her eyes were now glowing blue and she could now see them, reading their auras. She sensed another aura, a familiar aura, and a smirk flashed upon her face.

[serpington]

he watched her kill her stalkers and put away his bow. "it seems you haven't lost your touch, have you general Tar-Ryn?" he raised his arms and walked out from behind a tree. "I'm not with them, i just noticed them through the trees and thought you may need help, but it seems i underestimated you at first." he smiled.

Leo removed his jacket laying it out on a nearby table scratching his head out of habbit before replying to the crocodile "Safe to say, you understand the concept very well, sergent. I can't hounestly think of a reason to kill my own brother, but I dont have to. I don't have one" he said in a jokeing tone, with a smile to boot.

[Shenzii]

Tar-Ryn lowered her bow. "Never underestimate a general." She warned, "Especially me Durako." She walked over to him and put her bow away.

Chronin had stared off into space long before Sorin said anything, and his sudden shudder broke his unusual calm. "I have a feeling I should be out there, or maybe I'm just reliving those aura-eyes she accidentally flashed on me when I woke her from meditation..."

[Shenzii]

".... You disturbed her in her aura healing meditation?!" His face was in shock. "It's the aura then... She uses the ability to hunt down anything that is 'hidden' within the dark. Its like another vision."

[serpington]

he smiled calmly "I'll remember that, but for the meantime why don't you keep going and I'll take care of this. oh but before you do ask your self, is the possible gain of your quest worth the possible loss?" he bent over and picked up the body's before vanishing back into the forest leaving a black rose laid in the middle of the path.

[Shenzii]

Her eyes were saddened. Her ears down in sorrow. Durako was right. If they didn't succeed, then she would have lost her life, and the lives of others. The risk was great and she thought back to the massacre that had left her numb for years. Durako was like her brother, but she knew her brother was gone. She put her cloak back on and continued walking. The sun was completely gone and only the dim light of the moon guided her way now.

[serpington]

durako walked through the trees still with the bodes of the four bandits in his arms, his mind raced *i know it was her, i knew it the moment he saw those eyes. but how could it be? she was killed back before i went into hiding. wasn't she?* he thought dropping the bodes into a ditch. *now that i think about it, i never saw the out come of that fight. so she just might be........... i need to get back to the resistance, she will die on her own against the kings men.*

[Shenzii]

Tar-Ryn continued onward. A falcon flew down and landed on her arm that she now had raised to allow the bird to land. Her eyes lit up quickly and so did the birds. She then pushed her arm up as the bird flew back to the tavern.


Sorin was resting at a table when he heard the falcons bell that was tied loosely around its ankle. He got up slowly and walked to the door. Sorin opened it and took the falcon onto his arm. "What is it Pharaoh?" He asked looking at the bird. Pharaoh let out a screech and its eyes quickly lit up. Find the man who was in the shop before I left. It's Durako. I know it. He isn't dead. Ready yourselves and find me. The birds eyes went back to their golden shine. Sorin nodded and gently petted Pharaoh's head. "Chronin, I received a message from Tar-Ryn. We leave in five minutes."

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chronin had his skin refilled and closed the opening before going back to Sorin. "Why not just skip the five minutes and just leave now, I've been ready for a fight for awhile now."

[Shenzii]

"This isn't a fight Chronin. We aren't going to rush to her side... We are going to travel slowly. She will be waiting for us on the edge of rouge forest and the woods of Darderen. " Sorin went upstairs and put on his battle armor. He came down stairs, his sword on his hip and out the door they went. He grabbed a torch from outside the door and began to walk into the dark woods, Chronin at his side, and Pharaoh on his shoulder. He whispered to the falcon and off it took.



Tar-Ryn jumped into a tree and made herself cozy. Pharaoh flew in with a screech and landed on her knee. She pet him gently and held her bow in hand, arrow ready for the taste of blood. She turned her purple cloak inside out and covered herself in black. She then sat, playing the waiting game.

durako walked into the camp slowly, being watched by his comrades as he entered the largest of the tents. "sir i have news, i found someone of interest." "well who is it?" called a large bear walking around the table in the middle of the room "sir, i found general Tar-Ryn, she was heading to the north last i saw." "good, she will be most useful in the fight to come." said the bear walking into the light, revealing a large fur less scar along his check "so it seams that the time has come to unleash the power of the second rebellion!" "under who's command though? yours general Isiah, or that of Tar-Ryn?" asked a sly looking raccoon at the back of the tent.

[Shenzii]

Pharaoh screeched softly, as if he were an alarm to keep Tar-Ryn from dozing off to sleep. Her eyes were heavy with the lack of deep slumber but her body was strong, even at rest. She fondled the phoenix feather at the tip of her arrow. It was warm, as it fire had been warming it. She let it hang from the arrow as she kept her mind and ears open to all sounds and movement in the dark woods of Darderen.

[serpington]

"Tar-Ryn we have come for you, don't make this hard." called the leader of a small group of what appeared to be travelers. each with a black rose design on their cloak. "we were sent to escort you back to our leader." the rabbit called up the tree to the fox.
