Welcome to Gaia! ::

((The wedding is tomorrow. Roran is giving the rings to Xander who is plotting to stop to assassination attempt on Roran and Amaya at the wedding. You and Hector are pretty late, Akori wants to makeout with Amy infront of everyone, not sure where where our last sister is. I just drew a blank....))

((actually you were fixing a hawk and I came from behind you and told you we should leave xp ))

Hector came in her room after her, frowning funily as she dropped onto the bed. He put his sword away, hoping he wouldn't need it for the next days as they were to be filled with happiness, not war. He smiled, taking off his armor as well and looking around, "so this is your room ey?" he asked.

Akori finally let her go, raising his eyebrows, "see, not so bad is it?" he said to her, "you're more shy than you appear" he added, "I always thought you were tough, btu when it comes to making out in public, now that's a weak spot" he told her.

"Oh, sorry. Must've forgotten to tell you." Smiling, he knew Xander could follow any of the people headed there. "Last time I checked, it was at the Syrian, Kerosian border, so both kingdoms could be on their own land as the two kingdoms combine." Roran didn't mention the fact that it was Xander's duty to hold the ring since he was the eldest of his three younger brothers. Roran did trust Xander with his life, so if this convinced him, he'd let it be. "I should be getting my sleep, I'll see you tomorrow. Just follow any of the townsfolk or servants when they all leave, you'll find it easily." Leaving his brother, he had no idea exactly how much Xander had on his mind.

Walking through the halls, they seemed empty. Everyone must be getting their night's sleep for tomorrow. Grinning, he continued to his room. Seeing the note, he read it and sighed. "Yeah, figures." Getting all ready he went to bed. At some point in the night, he was taken away to the Syrian camp near the wedding site, because he woke up there, people already working to get him ready.

((I had time to get on! Yay! I'll try getting on again another time too!))

He put the ring in a pouche on his belt, being sure it was save there. "Will do and sleep well." Seeing his brother walk away, he didn't hesitate a moment and ran towards the stables. Getting on the horse he travelled to Keros, he now headed for the border. Of course, he remained on a save distant as he wouldn't want anyone to see him. Especially if Rico's men were preparing something for the assassination.
"Come to check up on our preparations?" Rico had suddenly appeared behind Xander.
"Uhm... yes..." Xander answered a little startled. He was beginning to believe this man was everywhere, as he keeps appearing when least expected.
"Don't worry. Our finest marksmen won't miss and with armor piercing crossbows, they will be sure to kill them. Get some rest, because you will have a kingdom to lead by tomorrow." Rico smiled.
"Yes, I shall do so." Xander answered. He would want Rico to trust him. It was the only way to know more of the plans of the assassination and a way to prevent them.
But for now, he best did get some rest. Sleeping throught the wedding won't allow him to stop the assassination. So, Xander headed back to the castle and got some sleep.

Morning came too quickly as he awoke in the camp. "Whu-Where am I?"

"You're in the camp on the border, milord." Joseph spoke to him, bowing even though the King was still laying down.

"you were able to snatch me without waking me?"

"Yes. It was complicated, but we managed."

Wow, I should lock my door. "Okay, okay, so why am I here? The wedding isn't till midday."

"There are a few more things you must see to." With that, Joseph walked out on Roran.

"Ugh," watching the Syrian servant leave, he sighed. "Poor Amaya, she's had to do this for three days now."

His night was long, as Xander hasn't slept much. Poundering on the assassination, a way to stop it and letting the wedding continue undisturbed. He decided to leave early in the morning. Scan the area, look for high grounds, where the marksmen would take position. Even if he managed to find their location, he is to hand the ring to Roran. This would prevent him from stopping the marksmen himself, yet he could not tell someone else about this plot. By doing so, he would also be found guilty of treason and be held prison, stripping him from his title as prince and endanger to cancel his wedding with Erika. Stopping the assassination was a troublesome task indeed.
As he put on his finest clothes, he grabbed his sword and walked out. As he put on his sword, he realised he would leave Erika the go alone to the wedding, since he had already left by then. He would best go with her, but then he would risk her encovering the assassination attempt.
He walked through the castle and returned with a rose. Placing it in front of Erika's door, he hoped she would forgive him for letting her walk alone to the wedding.
When that was done, he emmidiatly left the castle and was on his way towards the border. Hpoing to figure out how to stop the assassination without endangering anyone, even himself.

Finally the time came around and the maids were pushing Amaya into the carriage. She was really stressed now. She rung her hands nervously, just waiting to get to the border.
