Kaki picked up his pack and put it on his shoulders, "It is time to leave," he said as he opened the front door. To his surprise there was a small group of men waiting out side the door.
"Excuse me," he said, "but you appear to be waiting for someone. May I help you?" As he spoke he was preparing his mind to draw his weapons.
Everyone averted their attention to the unexpected events unfolding at the door. Solice and prime rose quickly and walked to the door.
((If you hadn't guessed, he is speaking to the other team that was to meet the guild.))

"Indeed," said Kaki aloud, "Please, sirs, state your name & rank, or we must be on our way."

"Alexander, I suppose I am the leader of the Forces of the Dragon as we have been called." His swords rested easy at both sides, but could be drawn at a moments notice.
"Ziel, strategist of my lord Alexander." Although he appeared to lack a large weapon he possessed both a fan and small darts concealed in his sleeves.
"Philip, vassal of Alexander and his brother." The other two were calm and composed while he sounded somewhat annoyed by the way they were being treated. Also unlike the other two he did not carry any small weapons, holding both of his on his back.

"Forces of the Dragon?" asked Kaki, "I have not heard of you before, however I am Kaki Pan, Captain of the Slayer's Alliance Guild. I know not if you are foe or ally, though you don't seem to wish to kill us. How may I be of service?" He bowed at this point.

"We are not very famous yet. Still we have rose up to help end the suffering and bring peace to the people."
"To answer your question of whether we are ally or foe, then I suppose our only response is that we can be both. We wish nothing more than to possibly ally with you although if you desire otherwise then we will more than likely become the other." Alexander remained calm speaking only in a very normal tone of voice.

bowing in a manner likewise to kaki's he said "What exactly do you mean by rising up and end the peoples suffering, i think those are our aims, but you may have very different means of accomplishing them, please, explain."

"Yes," said Kaki, "and we do not wish you harm. So don't expect a fight from us, unless you threaten us. Come in so that your business can be kept privet."

"I respect your desire for privacy." Alexander responded to Kaki first before turning his attention to Dreccas.
"We are here to see if our ideas do coincide with the ones of your forces. I suppose I will describe my ideal world. After these battles are over I wish to help the people. I want to make a land where even those who have fought all their lives can live peacefully. I want to fund the ideas that the people come up with and encourage the development of what they want. A nation in built by the people not by a tyrant. Currently it seems like parts of the land is under the control of tyrants and we wish to oppose them."

Dreccas nodded, he accepted the reply, but didn't say anything, not really the big talker of the group.

"Hm, yes," said Kaki, "Even the republic has lost sight of the desires of the people, which is easy in a republic. I desire that a democracy be in place, so that the people can be heard."
"Now, what are you willing to do to archive peace? The first step would be to eliminate the world leaders, Emperors, presidents, chiefs (leaders of the swanea), etc. even if it requires assassination. Then we'd have to cause a major disruption in all of the governments to make them fall."

"What you speak of hints at a possibility of complete political anarchy...My lord, although the people desire a new set of government completely abolishing any form to set it up could possibly do even more damage. So Lord Kaki Pan I must ask, how are you planning to deal with the people who commit crimes during the course of your adventure? Many thieves and murderers may rise if they believe there to be no government or people to oppose them and it seems that you lack the manpower to watch over the entire land."
"Still to kill the leaders is a plan that could enjoy much success. If you can get the people to support you in your endeavors then you may be able to get some to agree to watch over their town. These volunteers could be trained and watch over their fellow townsman to prevent crimes from occurring."
"Also should you desire to set forth on your task you must create a base for yourself. This base could be used to house supplies and equipment along with serving as a place for your officers. These barracks are a possibility, but what if even more people seek to join you will you have enough room for them?" Ziel asks many questions and offers potential solutions. He found himself liking the group for what they stood for, but he could not help but wonder if they were prepared. He would have continued if he was not interrupted by his lord.
"We would do anything to help the people, but is assassination really necessary. What are we telling the people if we simply murder those that oppose us? There must be some other way to deal with those that do not agree with you."
"Sometimes there isn't Alexander, I thought by now you might have realized that. The world is not a perfect place. People become corrupt and arrogant. The utopia that most people desire will more than likely never exist. For every side of the spectrum there is another. Sometimes the two forces balance each other out while other times one is more dominant than the other, but the other always exist and it can never be gotten rid of completely." Richard stands to his feet and looks at the younger lord. They had met before and at one point considered each other friends. More recently they had opposed one another, but it seemed like now was as good of time as any to push that all to the side.

"What if we're not found out, whose to say we murdered them, when we could just as easily be a group of revolutionists who took control after the anarachy that followed their deaths" he said with a grin, "Perhaps it's not the most likely of circumstances, but as long as we're stealthy, as any good assassin is, who's to say we did anything at all." Dreccas had played the role of an assassin for ages, and never had he been caught.

"Yes," said Kaki, "If it comes to it, we will have to assassinate some who pose a threat to the lives of others. I would prefer, however, to take them captive and hold trials with juries or piers. That is the fair way."
"As for transition, just because one government fails does not mean that morale corruption would follow. There will still be many soldiers and peace officers to handle them, though I do foresee some problems as such. Many will join our revolution before we must completely over take the governments. For our revolution is to benefit all though all may not join."
"Then there is the issue of a base. I believe that this place shall suffice for now, however it is neither safe, nor large enough. There are cave to the west of Barton Town that is in the Imperial Territory. However, that is the purpose of my going to Gambino. The president has always had the ability to sneak away large abouts of Leoghs without being noticed. He can pay for new barracks, food, and arms.
Then Kaki looked at Lord Richard and said "It would appear that the two Lords know each other. How may that be?"

"Richard..." Alexander's voice trails off as he turns away for a while.
"It has been quite a while before we stood before each other without any malcontent." Richard looks over at Kaki knowing that he might as well tell them everything now. "We were once considered friends. When I was given rank inside the Imperial army, you could say that he did not approve of which one I had joined. He saw the Imperial Forces then as he does now. I served them faithfully, but eventually I was negotiated into making an attempt to kill one of the leading officials. I failed, but I fled here and began to set up my own forces. We hadn't seen each other since my appointment. Still, those times are over and if we want any hope to set up the idea of a just and united land than we need every bit of help we can get."
"So Lord Kaki Pan, it seems as though you have thought about what your actions can bring. I could dwell further, but I am pleased with what you have said thus far. It appears that you have passed my test." Ziel gives him a nod before silencing himself.
"Although I do not believe that assassination is right I do see that it could be used as a if-all-else-fails option. I suppose that you do have a strong sense of virtue. If you do not mind, I would like to aid you in your endeavors. Richard...there is no longer any sense in remaining enemies."
