 ๐ฏ๐๐๐ ๐ฌ๐๐๐๐โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ Arriving at the castle or palace which ever the nobles prefer to call it, Lynda sighed. It was on a regular basis that she would drink but considering the unbearable ache she could feel in her chest, she figured a mug or two wouldn't hurt her. Walking up to her door, she pulled out a key to open it before a chill ran down her spine. Flinching slightly the woman looked up towards the sky, trying to sense what was going on. Putting her key back in her pouch, she headed towards the main hall, she needed to speak with someone. Actually, Lynda needed to get updated on what was going on. She figured they might have held a meeting while she was in the market, so maybe there was someone willing to tell her what she missed. She also knew that the eldest prince was going to be slightly upset with her for missing it, but she knew that was much of a big deal, or that was what she kept telling her heart.

   Zellana shook her head at Lia, "Woe is right, though only for me, since it is I who is suffering through your theatrics..." Zell smiled, "Thank you for the sound advice, clothes line and keep away from green." Zell then smirked slightly, "And thank you for the compliment, you're hair is lovely too." Zell smiled and shook her head slightly.
She looked back at Lia and sighed, "It would not be my first scar, nor my last... Even though I've only been here a year I've already got a scar on my back right shoulder blade, and one right above my left knee. They're not too bad though, kind of like badges of honor, if you'll excuse the cliche. At the very least I can rest easy knowing the people who gave me the scars are dead." Zell nodded her head triumphantly at the last statement.
Looking forward she replied to Lia, "Yea, it is good, even if he is a womanizer and a thief, b*****d even had the nerve to steal some of my diamonds!" She shook her head with a smile. Looking back at Amelia she said. "If you ever do, let me know, I've always wanted to head out that way after reading some about it but I never got the chance, now with the Order my time is crunched even more." She sighed, "Woe is me I guess." Zell shrugged her shoulders.
Zell sighed after hearing Amelia speak. "You're practically giddy with excitement over this. What you need is a pipe to calm you down some." She said with a smile, "On second thought, never mind, I can't bare to imagine what you would come up with in you're mind after getting high on a pipe." Zell giggled some and shook her head.Iliad was coming down some stairs he had found in a back hallway and found himself right back at the main hall. With a small sigh he walked to the middle of the hall, not having anything to do at all. He was trying to keep Sabine out of his head, and for the most part succeeding, but it was hard. Shaking her out of his mind once more Iliad saw a guard coming towards him. Instinctively Iliad felt like running, he had already forgot he was a guard now too. Iliad saluted in the way he was taught and was greeted with the same salute. Iliad put his hand down and said, "To what do I owe this pleasant visit?" The guard dropped his hands and replied, "Your guard uniform is ready, please, follow me." Iliad nodded and did just that.
He was led down a few halls to the fitting room from before. There, tailored to perfection, was a Guard's uniform. Iliad smiled and took it to the dressing room. He put it on, and found that there were even Guard specific sheaths made for his daggers, and a bag embroidered with the Guard crest for his poisons and traps. Well, look at that. Iliad thought with a smile as he transferred everything over to their new homes. Iliad walked out of the dressing room with a smile on his face, though he didn't like that he was a guard he had to admit, whoever designed the uniform had a nice sense of style. Iliad had modified the outfit by not putting on any metal protective gear, such things would only slow him, other than that Iliad was presentable.
"So, how do I look?" He asked. The guard nodded to another guard before looking back at Iliad. "You look like a guard, and that is good, I've just received word that His Royal Majesty, the Price Kiyoshi wishes to speak with you personally." Iliad cocked his head to the side. "Is that good?" The man chuckled, "For your sake, I hope so." With that the man led Iliad out of the room and to the throne room. Iliad knocked on the door before entering and bowed the way he was told to do when addressing royalty. "Your majesty" he said in as dignified a voice as he could, "I was told you wished to speak with me." Iliad stayed bowing, not really knowing if or when he should rise. He did notice that the Price was armed, Hopefully that isn't meant for me. He thought bitterly, I would hate to fight the Prince on my first day...

 โข โข โข | | = ฮฎ ั ั ฤธ วป = | | โข โข โข < ยฐยฐยฐ questioning authority ยฐยฐยฐ > With what felt like years, Niika finally entered Dru Kai. With the loss of her companion still on her mind, Nika couldn't help but sigh at the nostalgia. Everything still looked the same, but she would have to stay on her toes. The archer or the man in the armor could try to attack her again.
Niika moved through the streets easily with the fluid and grace of water. It was odd. The streets were very quiet for normal, not many vending their works. A gust of wind was let out through her nose as she walked quickly through the streets, the lack of people making her feel uncomfortable. The dangling tassels on her skirt jingled crazily as she moved across the streets. The next sight made her eyes begin to water.
A man clad in black, a hood over his head.
And a bow strung tight at his side.
Niika's trot turned into a run, the sight of the man threw her through a tailspin. He would none doubtingly try to attack her, just like he promised. She headed through a series of ally ways, before stopping at a main street where there was still not many around. She looked around and smacked her head. Great! Now she was lost and didn't know where the hell she was!

 Kiyoshi: Eldest Prince of Astra Kiyoshi turned and he smiles seeing the bowed form of Iliad. He took some time to look him over and his clothing, impressed with the amount of time he took towards making himself look presentable in the uniform. "Ah so your Iliad. I've been hearing a lot about you. A once petty thief who wants to try to bring his skills here among the Order of the Light. I must say thief or not you certainly wear the uniform well. Please rise"
He looked over to see if he had his knives with him and he nodded "While I wanted to have a lot more conversation with you, we have a matter that needs urgent attention. Now considering the nature of your profession as well as the circumstances regarding your joining my Order I have little reason to trust you. But it doesn't change the fact that you are an exceptional fighter and very good at what you do. We have a potential threat who's seem to have been able to slip past the my other soldiers and is currently in the castle. From what I've been able to pick up, this person's capable of using summoner magic as well. This alone makes this target very dangerous. The other troops have been placed on a high alert to identify the person, but I want you to be the offensive. You find our target and capture whoever he or she is. If you must resort to killing him or her then do it. I will come and support you when I receive confirmation on the position of the person. Whoever it is can summon...and it might be something worth taking. Now you have your orders...go" Death Crows: A summoner's eyes, or a symbol of oncoming death. Be it their master or by them.Moretkai was getting a little tired of these guys not being able to locate him. Either they were complete weaklings, they weren't the best with sensing or observing when something just looks extremely weird, or both. The bird caws and decides to fly his way over so he could land on Echo's shoulder. If this didn't work...well really he would do this regardless, but he reaches and pecks at his ear lobe a few times until he would try and swat at him, who wouldn't?

Amelia smirked and looked forward as they walked on their patrol.
"I was never one for the theatre. Terrible at it really... that and stage fright." She said before grinning. "Why thank you. My hair is being unruly and evil with me today. I can practically feel the hairs sticking up on the back. Rather... frustrating to be honest.
When Zell spoke about her brother, Amelia couldn't help but let a mischevious smirk come onto her lips.
"Hmmm... he sounds like he'll fit in just fine. Perhaps I have found a new friend. Maybe he can teach me his sneaky ways... that way I can play more pranks. But you have to admit, for him to steal your gems... he's gotta be good at what he does."
She sighed again before nodding and giving Zell's hand a squeeze.
"Definitely. I wouldn't mind some company on my journey. God knows what I'll find when I get there. I would have to stop in at the Imperial Forest on the way... see if my father is still alive and well. I haven't seen him in ages now that I think of it. He's probably worried..."
She shook her head attempting to make it off of the sad topic of her old city, and then heard something about a pipe. She made a face in disgust.
"Oh good lord no. I think those things are ghastly. Nasty tasting, and even nastier for you... no thank you. I'd much rather keep my lungs clean, and not run around acting more retarded than I actually am. I scare people enough... I can't ever imagine what I'm like high of my arse."

ฮฉAshelia Yunalessca Zinรคrฮฉ ฮShowing the world what dark meansฮ Ashelia had been walking for a bit before stumbling into a library of sorts, Her eyes lit up like a bon fire. All this knowledge at her finger tips, everything she could ever ask for and it was here. "This is so beautiful... I think i might just cry" Ashe let go of her lunic rune as she grabbed a book that had some of the recent history. Her envious eyes widened and a smile grew on her face. All the death and pain this city was feeling... was endless. Her dragon would be fed on this for eons. "Well Yoezi... you shall be eternally grateful for the idiots here, though idiots are good. They feed people like us shaman."

Zelena smirked, "Stage fright... now I know who to nominate for as speaker for the next... hell anything," She replied with an air of mischief, similar to the one Lia always seemed to give off. Zellana then shot a quick glance at her friend's hair and giggled, "I was giving you a compliment, shut up and accept it. Besides, we all know you Arcean girls have horrible hair, you should consider yourself lucky..." Zell smiled, "I'm just kidding."
Zell turned right at an intersection, pulling Lia with her. "Yea, he should fit in nicely, although there are not many people that wouldn't fit in. Think about it, from Sier to yourself, the range of personalities of the accepted members are erratic." Zell shrugged her shoulders, "All that matters, I guess, is that you are effective at what you do." Zell sighed softly and replied, "And no, I don't think its a good idea for you to be sneaking anywhere, besides, with that axe anyone can see you coming a mile away."
When Zell felt Lia squeeze her hand she felt like she really struck a cord with her. I guess I would be just as passionate about Dru-Kai if the situation was reversed. "Well, whenever you plan on going, know I'll be right here." Zell then chuckled, "Glad to know you're not on the pipe, thats the best thing I think you've ever told me. I feel as if I can almost sleep a little bit sounder knowing that now." Just as she was done she seen a rather familiar boy in a familiar uniform, though the thought of seeing the two together was still odd.
"Iliad!" She called out. "So its true, you have joined. But, what are you doing out here?" Unknowingly Zell let go of Lia's hand to rush forward to greet her brother. "Illy..." She spoke in a soft voice, "Sabine, whats happened to her, why did you join?" She felt bad, she couldn't tell if she asked where Sabine was out of general concern or the fact that if she knew she would be able to track her down and bring her to Kiyoshi. Either way she got no answer. Iliad kissed her quickly and said he would talk to her later but right now he had orders from the Prince himself. Zell sighed as he rushed down the hall past Lia and around the corner. "That was weird..."
With a shrug Zell said, "Well, that was him, my twin brother. Wonder what was so pressing that he couldn't even stop to have a small conversation."Iliad rose as instructed, though he couldn't help but flinch under the man's gaze. "Thank you your majesty, I do try my best to look good." Iliad cursed his egotistic answer. Atleast I didn't correct him about my rank as a thief, petty... I've broken the grand larceny mark before I was 16. I'm a MASTER thief... was a master thief. Iliad shook the thought and listened to the prince talk, and boy could he. This guy likes the sound of his voice, never met a more long winded prince. Although this is the first one I've met. After shaking yet another thought Iliad replied. "You have my word, as well as my loyalty. I will find this person and bring him... or her, to you at once." With that Iliad saluted and formally dismissed himself.
Once out of the throne room Iliad sighed, "Where the ******** should I start looking?" Picking a random direction Iliad began to run. He opened door after door, checking inside, looking all around, but never finding anyone other than the occasional, startled servant. With a sigh Iliad rounded a corner and saw his sister and another girl toting a rather large blade. Must be something in the water here, way to many girls with big weapons. Iliad also noticed they were holding hands, I'll get her for that later. Iliad though, smirking inwardly.
Soon Zell was upon him, asking him a multitude of questions, "I'll talk to you later. The Prince gave me orders that I need to attend to, I'll see you later alright?" He said kissing her softly before dashing away, though he did let his eyes wander to Lia. Scanning her up and down as she passed. He felt dirty for doing so, Sabine is out there somewhere, remember that. Iliad continued to run and turned yet another corner before finding another room.
Iliad opened the door and found that it was a library of sorts. He also found something that let him know he found what he was looking for. Iliad pulled free one dagger and a small throwing knife. There was a girl in the library, dressed unlike any of the guards or servants and carrying a large scythe, its blade was as big as Zell's and the long pole it was attatched to made it look even more formidable. If that was not convincing enough the girl seemed to be talking about dragon's and her status as a shaman. She was turned away from him, studying the books on the shelf. That settles it. Iliad launched his throwing knife at the girl's midsection and pulled free his second dagger. The new sheaths allowed him to draw his blades easier, as did his new bag allow him to find his poison's and other goodies faster.
Iliad sighed, "Sorry, under order of the Prince you are to be taken in, dead or alive." With that Iliad stood low in a fighting stance, ready for anything. He never faught a shaman before, but he did fight a scyche user once, though his was smaller than this one. Here goes my first real test, I guess. He thought bitterly.

ฮฉAshelia Yunalessca Zinรคrฮฉ ฮShowing the world what dark meansฮ Ashelia had just finish reading a book when she turned to put the book away the knife just kimmed her arm. then she heard a boys voice saying she was under arrest. "What the... ugh another guard...hmmm this one seems to have all sorts of pain in him...its delicous." Ashe laughed a little as the man got into a fighting stance, her laugh matched that of a little girl in a horror film. That only happened when she was pissed. "you know...stopping a girl from reading is very VERy rude!... flux" she lifted her hands up and a pitch black liquid seemed to rise out of the ground before shooting at the man. she jumped back and began charging her dragon summon. she pulled out her scythe as well and it grew twice its normal size. the room began to darken and her skin began to pale.

Iliad raised an eyebrow, All sorts of pain, what the hell does she mean by that? He thought quickly. Iliad listened to her next comment and replied, "Yea, I get that alot from ladies, although its usually after they wake up alone and not because of an interupted book reading session." Iliad didn't have time for another snide remark. The room grew dark and out of nowhere a black liquid shot out of the ground at Iliad. Iliad dove out of the way and rolled onto his feet, breaking out into a run. Iliad kept his eyes on the girl and cursed to himself as her scythe grew twice its size. I swear, girls and big ******** weapons, I'm just about ready to loose my mind... Worse than that, however, was the fact that she seemed to be charging something. Her skin was growing paler, the room darker and she had yet to charge him. She is up to something... Iliad reached into his satchel and pulled out a poison leaf and began to chew it, if he could end this fight the same way as his fight with Echo all should go well. He also pulled free another throwing knife and launched it at her heart. Whether it landed or not he only wanted to interupt her... whatever the hell it was she was doing.
As the knife went shooting through the air Iliad dashed right behind it, then broke off and came at the girl from another angle. The knife would hit first, but Iliad would be close behind. Hopefully close enough to land a significant blow, or even spray her eyes with the poison. Iliad cocked his left arm back for an attack and held the other infront of him for defence.

๐ฏ๐๐๐ ๐ฌ๐๐๐๐โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ Heaving a deep sigh, Lynda continued to wonder the castle. She knew it was wise to seek information from any member of the Order, but she in no mood to deal with such. What she really wanted was to crawl into her bed and pray that everyone would just quit using their magic, it would make her life a thousand times easier. Grumbling under her breathe, Lynda found herself standing in front of a door. Having lived on the palace grounds for many years, pretty much since birth, the girl knew her way around the area fairly well. Knowing there was a strong presence on the other side, she took in a deep breathe, and pushed the doors open, announcing she was there.

ฮฉAshelia Yunalessca Zinรคrฮฉ ฮShowing the world what dark meansฮ Ashe gave the man a grimace. she was enjoying this way too much. There was only one problem...Yoezi Took a lot of time to summon and him attacking with a thrown dagger and flanking her was not helping at all. She Rapidly spun her scythe and the dagger was reflected away like nothing was even thrown at her. with its momentum under her control she ducked downward, the scythe continuing to spin horizontally above her back. she launched foward hoping to strike his legs and do at least 1 of 2 things: 1 cut his legs off and or 2 by time to summon. by the gods this boy is annoying, he threw a knife at me. and did he call himself a manhooker?? ... he chewing something as well...hehe i hope he chokes on it, otherwise i might not have too much fun. the room stopped growing darker as well Ashe's skin paling, however now a 13 foot diameter runic symbol now faintly glowed upon the floor spinning slowly

Kiyoshi: Eldest Prince of Astra Kiyoshi could feel their opponent still having plenty of energy and it was only growing, it got to the point where he could feel where this person was roughly. If Iliad hadn't killed the intruder yet then it seemed like whatever would be summoned could very well be on the way. Gripping Absolution a little tighter He began walking his way out of the throne room when he saw yet another familiar face entering his room.
"Ah Lynda" He said as he continued walking "It's been a while has it not...come...we have a bit of an issue on out hands that it looks like I'll have to lend a hand in"
Kiyoshi did wonder what she's been doing with herself since she hasn't been around for a couple meetings. But that was just going to have to wait since this intruding summoner was a much larger issue to tend to.

๐ฏ๐๐๐ ๐ฌ๐๐๐๐โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ Looking into the room Lynda quickly realized she stumbled into the throne room. Noticing Kiyoshi walking in her direction, she hid the blush daring to lay on her cheeks. Taking a step forward to show her respect, she was cut off by his urgency to exit the room. Slightly taken aback, she simply nodded her head in agreement.
There wasn't much she could do, it was a silent order. True she had sensed a being intruding onto the palace grounds, but she knew that there was someone who could handle the threat. Maybe she was wrong.
Opening her mouth to speak, Lynda instantly shut it. Staying a few steps behind him, she followed the man in silence, not knowing what to say. Letting out a small sigh, she kept her eyes on his back.

 <..:::Ira:::..>Ira saw the bird land on Echo and how he reacted to the bird. She tried to help him rid himself of the annoyance. It was a crow, black as night. But, there was something off about it. She clutched at the bird's neck and held him tight in her gloved hand. "Not a normal bird." Was all she said as she looked at it.
