The Dark Knight

Akai quickly turned and grasped her wrist. and said as he looked into her eyes "The Xeni warrior Akai is gone. so are his hopes his dreams, nothing remains. I am the Dark Knight. Alexia is a name, nothing more." Akai was no longer the Hero he once was but sentinel of the dark ones. The Saber of the Dark Knight had clouded his judgement. he's mission was to know take out every Clan in existence so that only the Dark Ones remained and in his twisted and clouded vision, That was the way the world should be. "tell me, Why are you playing games. what is it about triggering emotion that stirs you on. you wanted a reaction didn't you?" he began to say in a more forceful tone.

Alice Dread

Alice rolled her eyes and yanked her wrist out of his grip, 'I enjoy watching you crack' she said in a sarcastic voice and walked a few steps away from him and threw her dagger off the mountain only to have another appear in the holster on her thigh. A crow flew over to Alice and dropped a scroll into her palm, 'Looks like the directions have arrived' she told him an started reading the directions written on the parchment. She then went over to Akai, 'we have known each other for some time now, you should be used to how I act by now' she told him and kissed his lips. Before he could attack, she was on the dragon she had arrived on and was on her way to the castle, 'If youu want this, you'll have to catch me!' she yelled and waved the scroll in the air.

Mataya quickly gathered her belongings and summonded her Gryffin, she mounted and flew off toward the castle. She looked forward to seeing her dearest friend again, but she did not relish the thought of a war as many lives were sure to me lost. Why now? Do they really think that can beat us? Our numbers are far greater! What fools! She thought as she flew.

Alexis neared the castle she got the urge to try something she hadn't in a very long while she closed her eyes and focus all her energy on her lost love she focused as hard as she could "Akai! PLEASE HEAR ME! No matter who or what you have become I do and always will love you...Please my love come back to me!" she focused on conntacting his mind and pleading with him to return to her.

Mataya spotted her dear friend Alexis on the way to the castle, she directed the Gryffin toward the ground landing near Alexis. Alexis looked up, "Mataya how lovely yo see you I wish it was under different circumtances" Mataya nodded "As do I, war is never a good thing but the Dark Ones leave us no choice, I bring news that you will not like my dearest friend" Alexis looked worried "What is it?" Mataya knew that Alexis desevred to know, "Have you heard of the Dark Knight?" Alexis nodded she had heard of the great warrior, "I have recivied word that he is your lost love" Alexis turned away. "NO...he....that cant be right" "I am afraid it is but I think he is under a spell" Mataya answered. "Yes he must be, then I cant break the spell and bring him back!" With that she took off in the direction of where she had heard the Dark Knight was. Mataya knew she couldnt stop her so she followed.

Alexia continued towards the brimstone hell that was where her love was said to be, she rode on not knowing what lay ahead. She felt sure that she could break any spell put on him, there love had to be stronger then any spell a Dark One could cast. She rode on faster as she grew nearer, the air was smoky and she knew the dragons were near, but she pressed on ward.

Alice Dread

Alice was riding away from the dark knight when she saw a griffin in the distance, Now why would a griffin be in this underworld? she asked herself and as she came closer to the griffin, she saw that it was Alexia, one of the members of the star clan. The girl smiled maliciously and asked her dragon to fly next to the girl. When her dragon passed by Alexia, Alice jumped onto the griffin with her dagger in hand and held it on Alexia's throat, 'I could kill you right here and now but my maters would not look too kindly upon spilling blood in their underworld so tell me, what made you think you could come here undetected?' she asked and looked into the innocent girl's eyes and giggled, 'Oh how I do wish I could slice your throat'.

[Temptaions Grasp]

((Alexia is on the ground on a horse and Mataya is the one on the Gryffin, and Mataya is one of the best fighters for attacking her would now be wise))

Meanwhile the leaders of the Star Clans gathered in the great hall of the castle. The brows furrowed in worry. They talked of thier concerns and there battle plans. One leader spoke, "Where be Mataya? She will need to lead the first attack" another snarled "A women you want a women to lead?" "Yes for that women is far wiser and a better fighter then most" their was a murmer among the leaders.

Malia Xeni smiled at the comment of a women leading, "You have a problem with a women leading Altos?" she looked at the man that had made the comment, "No my lady I just mean the battle is a mans busniess" Malia looked over the faces of all the ones gathered there, "A mans busniess? is it not mothers, wifes and sisters and daughters that loose their loved ones as well? Its seems to me that war is all of our business Altos" She stood up and walked from head throne, "This war will take many lives and to win we need to put our best fighters on the front and if they are women so be it! This is not a time to be sexist! We need to unite! For only when we are one do we have any chance of winning!" she spoke loudly and calmly there was an echo of agreement.

Mataya turned on the girl and kicked her off her Dragon, "Attack me again you little parasite and I will cut you to pieces and feed you to your dragon!" She watched the girl fall to the ground. She turned to Alexis, "I think we best go to the gathering and return at a different time" Alexis shook her head, "No I must do this, and I must go alone, you go to the gathering" Mataya paused, she new she would be need at the gathering. "Alright but you need a different way to get there other then a horse, she summond a silver dragon. "Here Aros will take you" Alexis smiled, "Thank you my dear friend" they embraced then Alexis mounted Aros and continued on.

Diada

Diada watched Alice getting herself in trouble again. No one could see her as she was hidden in the shadows. She waited untill it really got out of hand, she didn't really like to show herself as most of the clan members thought she died many years ago. She smirked at the thought. 'Foolish people, as if they ever could have killed me.' She was somewhat bored as nothing interessed seemed to happen around here lately, so she could use a little fun. She wished Alice would get them mad, so she could show herself and play with them a little. She wouldn't kill them yet as they would probably tell her clan she is still alive and she couldn't wait for them to come after her again. So she could finally have her revenge, she would toture them so they would feel what they had done to her. If they only hadn't been afraid of her, she probably would have been fighting on their side.

She watched as the girl kicked Alice off the dragon. She quickly moved and dragged Alice into the shadows with her. She would not let them get away with this. She listened to their conversation. Aah so the other girl was going alone, not such a good choice. 'Foolish people' The thought was running through her head again. She let out a high evil giggle. She was sure the two girls could hear but not see her.

[Temptaions Grasp]

Mataya watched Alexis fly off and thought she heard a laugh coming from the underbrush, she drew her sword and flew low to see who it was. "Who goes there?" she called out, she got closer to where she had heard the sound. I don't have time for this she thought as she turned to head towards the gathering. She wondered who the girl that had attacked her was and why she would be so foolish to attack her, very fwe attacked her without backup.

Malia Xeni smiled at the comment of a women leading, "You have a problem with a women leading Altos?" she looked at the man that had made the comment, "No my lady I just mean the battle is a mans busniess" Malia looked over the faces of all the ones gathered there, "A mans busniess? is it not mothers, wifes and sisters and daughters that loose their loved ones as well?

Simon
-----
No such agreement come from the Valtan. These stalwart warriors were lead by one Lord Simon Hlembick.

Hlembick sat straight in his seat, in full armor. He watched the going on with dismay. Not only had the Dark Ones returned, but the council a chosen a WOMAN to lead them in times of war.

A foolish choice... but possibly not a Fatal one, if he could win victory. The only porblem he could see woudl be if the woman wanted to try and command the forces herself, which WOULD be a fatal mistake.

A mistake he woudl fight with every fiber of his impressive being.

Alexander
----
Beside Hlembick, the Valtan Champion, Paladin Alexander Anderson frowned. He was holding His lords gaivle in one hand, and resting his other on the top of his tower shield. He too was in full armor, ready for battle.

He wished they woudl end with the talking. Action was the only thing that would effect the current times, and he was wasted here, playing bodyguard. Not that the old man needed one.....

He watched and waited......

[Temptaions Grasp]

"I think we must band together, only which each point of the star can the Star Clans be at thier strongest, we must use our strengths and together we will win but divided we will fall. That being said my strength is not in matters of war, I think Lord Hlemick should come forward and lead us into battle, heed his wisdom he is very wise when it comes to matters of war" her gaze fell upon the Lord, she knew very well that he would be watching her every move waiting for her to fail so he could call for her replacement, she did not intend to give him such a chance. "Lord Hlemick what is it you think we should do next?"

Diada

Of course Diada didn't answer when the girl called out to her. She just couldn't help to feel sorry for them. They really didn't know what they were up against. How could they let that other foulish girl roam around the underground on her own. This was the place where all dark ones were hiding or at least most liked to come here. She just didn't get these people, did they just all want to die or something? Well she couldn't complain, this would make it very easy for them.

She left Alice in the shadows, the girl would recover on her own and she had some things to do. She sent a bat out to bring a message to the dark knight telling him about the two intruders before following Alexis in the shadows. What was this girl doing here?
