The Warriors Shall Rise Again

[Shenzii]

Chronin, you don't have to... Tar-Ryn 'said' as he walked off. Sorin sighed. "We're in such a mess." He held Tar-Ryn tight and continued to ride back to the palace.

[serpington]

"are you ready?" durako asked looking over migetee and jethera slowly. "remember the path....." "wish no pain....." "unless wished upon you." the three spoke one after the other while grabbing eachothers forearms. migetee suddenly looked over to the hill outside the camp, his rabbit ears laying over his left eye, and smiled as chrono walked over it. "need anything?"

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Eh, Sorin didn't want to fix the relationship, so I'll do it for him. Lazy wolf... Chronin faced the group of captains, and then walked down the hill. "I thought it would be nice to know the people I might be fighting with on the battle-field."

[serpington]

"us? you do realise that we are only the order of the black rose, we are not even a quarter of the warriors you will be fighting with in battle." durako smiled. "and as far as the relationship goes......your friend......he hits like a girl." laughed jethera still bloody from getting hit by sorin. "things may be hostile but what can you expect in this kind of situation? three generals, set in their ways, encountering a force that they can't fully trust. unsure if it will help them or stab them when their not looking. my name's migetee by the way, and this is jethera." "so are you going to just stand there or speak? we are in a hurry as it is."

Kha'lin sighed, subconsciously shifting closer to Rasha as she put one feathered wing around her "I suppose. For really it is only one thing that I worry for, and somehow knowing Kha'mal feels he can do it makes it no less an anxiety." With another sigh, smaller this time and accompanied by a wry smile, she looked up at Rasha "I suppose what I truly worry about, is if the relationship went well. If it went so well that I would have a chance at starting a family."

Puasing momentarily she continued "Truly, my allegiance and priority lies with my work, and with you. And so how could I do both this and care for a child?" She searched Rasha's eyes for an answer, almost pleadingly "Sometimes I wished that our mother could be here. And now I wish it more than ever, miss..."




Kha'mal paused at one of the wide palace windows. The Lords had assembled, ready for the meeting, but Kha'mal did not hurry with the news. He knew that his sister would be talking to Rasha right now. Perhaps it was best to leave them for a moment longer. He yawned widely and glanced down towards the Barracks training grounds where a formation of archers fired a dark volley of arrows into the hay-stuffed dummies.

Squinting, he peered through the glass and down at the dusty are, clear of buildings and littered with wooden targets. The individual archers where all but indiscernible, and after a moment of vain searching, he gave up on finding her. With a sigh he turned from the window and continued down the corridor to the sitting room and knocked twice...

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chronin had looked away from them at the mention of Sorin, almost lost in his thoughts until they finished talking. "Eh, then sorry to bother you. I was worried that our first impression just made things worse, so I guess I'll be heading back to Mistress now. Hope to see you long after the first battle, "order of the black rose"" He turned back towards the hill, then reached the top of it in two jumps before sprinting his way down and running non-stop in the direction that he heard the horse go.

[serpington]

the three captains all spilt up to go their respective ways "live long Allie." they all called after chronin before he was out of ear shot.

[Shenzii]

Tar-Ryn pushed herself out of Sorin's grasp. "I wish to be alone. Leave me. The queen's guard are expecting you." She waved Sorin off and walked down a path that jutted off the main road. She held her left wrist, trembling in her right hand. The power that flowed through her was beyond her control, the metallic taste of rage that passed through her body was new to her. She let out a sigh and continued walking slowly. Sorin looked about, his ears down in sorrow. "Chronin, come... We will go to the palace and await Tar-Ryn's return." He jerked the reins of the horse and steered it in the direction of the palace.

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

Rasha tried to warm Khalin with a smile, and pulled the girl into a hug. She stroked Kha'lin's hair, and held her close.
"Well, I'll help you decide that when you're ready to consider them. As for now--" the door knocked, and the eagle jolted at it. She shook her head, and preened a few of her feathers. Her eyes set cold, sinking into her serious set. "Yes?" she said as she stood from the sofa.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chronin stared off in Tar-Ryn's direction, unsure if he should disregard the order in concern for her life. "For someone whos head is more prized than those she keeps around, she sure seems to travel alone quite often. Well, lets see how long it takes before the new queen punts me out for drinking spirits in the castle..." He continued along with the horse, but only for so long until stopping. "Sorin, I think we should drag her with us. Mostly for laughs, and partially for a quick passage into the castle."

[Shenzii]

Sorin shook his head. "You don't remember much do you? She was alone for a very long time before I found her." He sighed and got off the horse. Tar-Ryn continued walking, her blue-amber eyes shifted back and forth, her ears twitching in all directions. She finally found a large rock and sat upon it. Her face in her hand, she began to sob. Her frustration was pouring out. She hurt that poor feline, and for what reason? She cried softly as the moon above seemed to weep with her.

[serpington]

"are you OK?" asked the little cat siting in a tree watching Tar-Ryn. she smiled kindly climbing down next to her holding out a peace offering of some fruit she had brought from the camp. "if your wondering.....I'm fine, so's my brother."

[KittKat chunky~]

Kha'lin stood also, stepping up just behind Rasha. She sighed, but held a hand over the pommel of her sword as the door opened. Kha'mal stepped through and nodded to Rasha "Your highness the Lords have assembled, save Jarmunda who is bed-ridden with a nasty flu, and they await your presence." He glanced across at his sister, and apology laced his expression...

[Shenzii]

Tar-Ryn loomed at her and sighed. "I just don't know what happened. One moment I'm in complete control the next my body is shooting people." she looked away and slowly took the fruit. "Why are you being so kind? I more expected getting my face torn off." she pulled her knees into her chest.

[serpington]

"yea, my brother says I'm to forgiving. if he was here........we would of had a problem. but i know your a good person at heart.......so i trust you." she smiled cradling her bandaged arm. "you know, I'm probably not supposed to tel you this but this isn't the whole rebelion......this isn't ever a quarter.........i think you would like the group in the north better that you did here." she smiled innocently while looking over at Tar-Ryn's bow."my name's Tasha by the way."
