The Warriors Shall Rise Again

[Shenzii]

"I'm sorry Hare, but I'm not going anywhere." Tar-Ryn said from the blackness of her perch. Pharaoh let out a screech, angered by the disturbance of silence.

[serpington]

i am sorry to hear that, but we have our orders. we can't return to the resistance base without you." said the young rabbit a little more irritated than before.

[Shenzii]

The only sound that now broke the silence was the stretching of her bow and the quickly move of air being torn. An arrow sat at the rabbit's feet. "If you had any knowledge about who I am and what I am about you would change your tone and leave, alive."

[serpington]

the rabbit stood his ground, drawing his sword. "you are general Tar-Ryn, you are the former leader of the resistance, you have been in hiding since the first resistance was crushed and now you wish to make things right. am i close?" he said with complete determination and meaning while the other three in the group also drew their blades. "we are the resistance, and we will accomplish our goals at the cost of eternal damnation if need be! so what are you going to do?"

[Shenzii]

Tar-Ryn leaped down. She stood tall for a female as she slowly moved towards them. Her hair, that was partially in a braid hung down to her tail. (She's a maned wolf, just letting you know.)
She looked at them with piercing blue eyes, flecks of gold here and there. Her sword on her hip and bow on her back she grinned. "Victory does not come in numbers. Fight, and you shall fall." She withdrew her sword, long, reflections of the moon and every man that was around in the blade. Pharaoh followed her down and stood on her shoulder.

[serpington]

(sorry for the mix up.)
"i know this. that is why i shall face you alone." said the rabbit taking a defencive stance "sir you'll die!" said the man directly behind him "better i then all of us in this pointless fight. men it has been a pleasure, your final order is to return to camp and tell general Isiah and durako of my failure." he said not taking his eyes off Tar-Ryn "what of your father?" said the man next to the rabbit. "he knew that i wasn't coming back when i left for the resistance, tell him what you wish." "but sir! is the possible gain worth the possible, and highly likely, loss?! yelled the first man. "if it wasn't then why am i here? now go!" the young rabbit said still staring into Tar-Ryn's eyes, his teenage face like the steel of his blade.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chronin looked around with rather bland eyes, more interested in the prospect of a brawl or battle than for the nearest injured merchant or noble. "Sorry for being a battle-nut, but it gets boring when any troublemakers I come across are too scared of my name to even attempt to draw their swords. I try to, but the Banewyngs are not known for being passive or peaceful..."

[Shenzii]

Sorin shook his head and continued walking, they were easily an hour away from Tar-Ryn.



"I'm not going to kill you nor am I leaving with you. So my answer is no." She growled. Her eyes were no fierce with the frustration of the stupidity of the relentless asking.

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

"Kha'mal," Rasha said, standing from her desk, and looking into his eyes with an almost apolagetically disappointed look. "What is wrong Kha'mal? Is there something wrong? I mean, your sister would do anything I ask her to and do it well, but you?" She sighed, shaking her head. "You're slipping up on the most basic duties, and you're not following my orders." She put her hands together, twisting her fingers. "I don't feel like I can rely on you any more, or even trust you."





The seargent smirked at Leo, then winced as the doctors worked on his wound. Soon it was all sewed up and the two soldiers were ushered out.
"You got a place to stay," he asked.

[serpington]

"i will not accept your no, ether i return to the camp with you or not at all. and i thought you would jump at the chance the avenge your loses, and here i am offering you an army." the young rabbit spat putting his sword away. "so cut me down and be done with it, but know this, we only offer so many times."

[KittKat chunky~]

Kha'mal winced unintentional. The accusation stung.

"Your higness, I-" Kha'mal stopped, words catching in his throat which had turned dry. His Adam's apple bobbed apprehensively, tongue clumsy as he tried to form a cohesive sentence "There... Is nothing wrong... your highness, I could never betray... I-" Kha'mals grip tightened behind his back, claws digging deep into his own wrist.




Kha'lin paused outside the baths, held in the tight embrace of Ina. She tolerated the hug for several moments, ignoring the crowds of people that walked past, along with the occasional glance or stare. Finally Ina stepped back, smiling graciously "It has been too long since I last saw you, I hope we can meet more often... And your brother, I wish to see him too next time. Tell him that auntie Ina sends her love..."

Ina walked away, blowing a kiss over her shoulder to Kha'lin as she went, tall figure soon lost in the crowds of citizens. Kha'lin sighed and turned back towards the palace, weaving aside several mule-carts...

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

"Then why? What happened?" Rasha looked at him with wide, almost pleading eyes. "I can't do this Kha'mal, not now, and yet you just..." She took a deep sharp, stuttering breath, and let it out in a sigh. She seemed to calm, slightly lowering her shoulders. "Because, I thought you were dependable. I thought you'd never make mistakes like that." Her voice shook.

[tangletail]

"Not really" he said walking with the sergent shakeing his jacket free from most of the dust and blood before putting it back on. Adjusting it a bit "I only got here just today to be hounest, why do you ask?"

[KittKat chunky~]

With a deep sigh, Kha'mal looked down to the tiled floor, and then back up to meet the Queen's gaze "I have told no-one... Not even my sister." He paused, glancing out of the window to the city walls and barracks "It is against my customs, against tradition, against everything my family has stood for." Finally he looked back to Rasha, only his eyes visible behind the cotton mask as he spoke slowly and deliberately "I am in love... With a woman I should not..."

Kha'mal winced again, looking away from the queen with ashamed eyes "By tradition, the men of my family would marry one of the best sword-fighters. From the royal  guard." He laughed bitterly, twisting his wrist "We have been meeting for a while now, whenever she and I where off duty. She is by no means a good sword-fighter, and merely acceptable with her bow."

He met Rasha's gaze again "But I love her, I know it. And yet I cannot. This is why I have been so sick with worry of late, why I struggle to concentrate on the most menial of tasks. Why I wonder, If only I had been born into another family, could we have been together?" He spat the last words with harsh loathing, only to suddenly sigh, shoulders sagging in on themselves "That is what happened, your highness..."

[Shenzii]

Tar-Ryn turned then quickly lunged at the rabbit and slammed him against a tree, her claw wrapped around his throat. "My death to you will be painful, and long lasting." Her nails dug into the skin of his throat, blood now dampening his fur. "Either, you leave now... with your life... Or I will show your army here what a general, who has lost almost everything can really cause..." Her eyes were now glowing, but their usual blue, but a purple.
