Welcome to Gaia! ::

Katherine listened to his out burst but she soon relized what she had feared would happen happend. She turned from them going towards Matachi she grabed his arm even in armor she made sure it was enough to stop him and turn him towards her. Her soft fragile voice was whisperd for only them to as she spoke, "Don't be a fool Matachi you know i am not going to let you fight, your reckless you have proved that. On top of that Sek out ranks you by right. You don't do that your not a king yet. You don't move any of your men without my say so. Your not the commander anymore i am. This is your chance listen to me and take it or by the gods you will be sitting in a prison by the end of today." Her voice wasn't mad but was pleading with him.

"Katherine If you want me to Rot in prison say so, If you want to remove my ranks say so, if you want to take command go ahead, but no man has the right to say a person who has shed his blood with the people that he fought side by side with doesn't know them. Call me reckless but you are just as well as I am Katherine, I heard whispers of what happen at the Tavern I know thanks to my agents I placed and after I found you I put the pieces together I know slightly what you did." Matachi says "So let this Sidiion tool go since thats all I seem to be since I am never allowed a word as a tool never speaks so you can go back and share your time with Sek and let me spend the time with all these other tools who seem to be the only ones who listen."

The Lord and his men walked quietly up to the secret entrance. "We're here." He said, turning to one of the men. "Tell the outside team to get ready. Again, tell them to attack when the castle guards raise the alarms." The scout nodded and scurried off again.

In the forest outside of the castle, Arem was waiting with a team of his own. He looked up to one of the watch towers, noting the archer idly. He signaled two snipers to take place and aim. When suddenly the scout arrived. As he received the instructions he nodded and started to climb the wall behind them.

Black looked between them. He was saddened by all of this, it was becoming his nature to be. For a moment he almost cursed what Ceclation gave him, but he rather have treated it like a blessing. "Katherine, I've outfitted Matachi with everything he'll need. I've also left a stockpile of alchemic weapons in the guard quarters, so if you see a box, please don't pick it up and shake it. You wouldn't like the results." He walked over to her and placed a hand on her shoulder. "If a man is willing to breathe and die for this country, should he not have the right?"

"I want Aldon to join us with Aenu's troops and Jonas's archers. I need you here to help me, I've been asked to help with their mage's, Katherine is having troubles controlling her own troops and theyre going to loose if she can't pull it together, so I'm going to need help." he epxlained as he sent the note to Aldon with instructions. "This is our time my friend" he smiled "to secure our future" Nikura smiled as did Sekain, they hadn't fought together in months, and nore had they fought with the other captains. They were both excited

Nikura nodded and smiled in greeting to the queen as Sekain turned "no interruption Katherine" he said as he stood at Nikuras side, "This is Nikura a dear friend of mine, who I have asked to join me as a precautionary measure." Nikura nodded once more "pleased to meet you your higness" she smiled politely

"He is also the General of an army that expands this entire country. You can't expect him not to act with military readiness when we both hear that today they're going to attack." Black explained, then looking to Sekain and Nikura. "Excuse me a second." He said before pulling Katherine over a safe distance from them to explain.

"Katherine, listen to me. Last night, Matachi had a few of his most trusted men in a search for the rebels head general, Arem. They knew their survival chance would be, so he left a letter with me to give to you if he never made it back. Their only problem was they were blindsided by the head mage of the rebel army." He explained, then moved on. "They did this because they felt like everyone that was hurt during this was their fault. The men didn't die in vain, but for what they thought was right."

"Black by the gods if you say one more word in that man's defense you can enjoy his banishment with him." Katherine shook her head. Then she herd Sek and his friend as well. She looked to both of them. Her voice was louder this time."the topic is over and done with"
