Eleven ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Eleven stopped at the door and pushed it open slightly. Eleven stood quietly as Eon wrote down the note and handed it to Shufang. A small smile curled on the side of the numbered one's mouth but it faded quickly. Satisfaction had been stolen from his along with the rest of his emotions. Any small sparks faded within seconds of their origin. He had made the choice. A smart one under most circumstance alas it may have come to late. Eleven waited until Eon had walked to him, then he spoke two words. "He does." With the words spoken eleven vanished leaving no sign he had been there.
(Exit)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You have been weighed, you have been measured, and you have been found wanting."

○ - | James | - ○ Eternal Flame of Shinkoku Entering the Throne Room, James walked around aimlessly hopping not to attract attention to himself. He'd never been in the Throne Room of the Zaibatsu's leader, he'd only been in the Leader's Office for missions and to talk about his graffiti on the walls of some of the shops. "So this is the Throne Room." he said to himself. "Dad never told me it would look this cool. I definitely got so re-decorating to do in my apartment." he said putting his hands in his pockets. "I wonder if the king is here? Probably out doing king stuff." he said thinking of his days in Shinkoku as a prince.

She only flicked it open for a moment to memorize what it said. She had been ordered to execute Lucian via decapitation. When the woman milled over the thought mentally her eyes shut and her arms crossed. The woman did not bother to acknowledge Eon. He had given her a suicidal mission that would only hinder Zaibatsu in the end. You there! I have an assignment for you. Enter the Valarian region and assassinate Lucian via decapitation. No questions are to be asked. The woman made the command sound sharp and fairly important as she assigned it telepathically to someone she knew was semi-capable. It was likely that they would be slaughtered but Shu needed to aid Zaibatsu in another way. Shu had to be the shadow in the background that would remain unnoticed until the last moment. I will escort you out and appear to discuss my orchids so we may leave together without question as to why. Her words came a little softer as she pushed off the wall and slipped the note into her own pocket. She approached the poor sod who was being sent into the lions den and moved to escort them out. " Associate." Shu stated. Her tone breaking the silence around her as she approached the person formally. " I need you to yet again care for my orchids. You see I will be going out of town for a while." She made the comment quietly and feigned ushered the eprson out of the throne room beside her as she took her leave on her own mission. Zaibatsu needed her to help them in the background not be one of the thousands murdered in the impending invasion brought on by this attempt on Lucians life.

 The assassin came from the shadows to partner with Shu. She was there to assist Shu in her mission, on her journey, and she swore to protect her, and return with the head of Lucian. Lina, she was there to take orders from the king and shu, and she was ready to follow exact orders.
Leaving with Shu she disappeared into the darkness and headed towards their enemy lands.

Ten looked at her son before he exited the zaibatsu. "Be safe." Was all she could say to her son who lacked any love.
Ten's eyes moved to the retired Admin's son. She hadn't seen him, nor his father since he spoke with nine. And she was surprised they would even consider coming back around after Lucian over taking land. But she quickly turned back after acknowledging james to Shu and the other Assain.
"What-No!" Ten yelled at Eon and Shu. "You don't understand, he will kill all of you. If I can kill all of you, he can too--" Ten shook her head, but it was too late, the two assassin vanished as dark times were to come for their lands.

○ - | James | - ○ Eternal Flame of Shinkoku "Huh?" he said listening to the people around him. He had just got back and everything was happening so fast. "It's that ROOT girl, and." he said pausing trying to assess the situation. "Who's the girl in the hood?" he questioned in his head. He started to yell out to the pair but they disappeared before he had a chance to do so. He turned around answerless, until he saw Ten. She was sure to have some answers, his father told him little about the events that were transpiring between Lucian and the Zaibatsu. "Hey! Lady Ten what's goin' on here? I was only gone a few months and so much has happened." he stated.

 Eon glanced over to Ten and frowned. The woman lacked faith in him and his plans which did not sit well with as it would undoubtedly mean she would question him every step of the way.
"Ten." he said as he walked over to his throne. "Your lack of faith in us is dully noted. If you feel that we as a whole can not defeat Lucian then why are you here? Why do you stand amongst those of us willing to try while you see fit to let him choke us out?" he finished as he sat upon his throne and firmly placed his sword in the ground next to him.
"You chose not to take the throne when you could have taken it. But then if you had, we would have already lost and you have no right to question my plans. I want to stop this war before it can escalate further or at least buy us time to fortify ourselves and if that means sending assassins to kill Lucian and his men then so be it."

Ten turned to her head to james, who had spoken first. “Where is your father. He had talked with nine about making plans to seal away Lucian and he disappeared, and now Nine is incarcerated. Go find him.” Ten snapped at the admin’s young boy. It wasn’t his fault Nine was captured and Eleven choose to put his life on the line to secretly betray lucian, but she was harsh, brash, she didn’t relate to the world well, and right now the only two people she could relate too were in lucian’s grasp.
Her head quickly turned to the voice of Eon. She listened to the young king carefully. Why she choice to listen to ivy who suggested their son as future king, she didn’t understand. Ten knew she had high expectations when it came to a leading male due to her son’s over achieving abilities and her husband’s logical thinking, but she began to think this was a mistake.
“I don’t feel like we can’t be lucian as a whole, I KNOW we cannot.” Ten raised her voice as she walked over to his throne. I am here to gather whoever we can find and protect them under the force field i have made, to keep those surviving safe. No man on that side compared to my abilities but lucian himself, and we need to kill his members off slowly one by one, and not directly attack lucian. It will be much easier to take him down if there are less of them and more of us. But you, you just ruined that, i hope those ladies die before they even make it to lucian himself, because you just put us all in danger.” Ten said in a harsh manner and tone. She couldn’t take the throne, she would not have done well, but she could see she would be doing better than this young man.
“Lucian ruined our lives. He took away our people, a job Nine loved, and we conceived a son in a land not fit intellectually. You don’t understand this man’s power. We will all die under no mercy.”

○ - | James | - ○ Eternal Flame of Shinkoku  Slightly getting startled by Ten he gave a nervous smile and put his hands up as if he was caught. "Yeah, about that." he began trying to choose his words carefully. "We left so suddenly because of some business back home, sorry about that, it was kinda sudden even for me." he explained putting his hands down. "But if you want me to find him then so be it Lady Ten." he complied. Then he turned his attention to the new Zaibatsu head. Though he didn't know Ten very well he didn't like it how he spoke to her and being the gentleman James was he had to step in. "Now, now, your majesty." he said stepping in front of Ten. "Though I do not agree with Ten and her statements about Lucian and the war, either. But I don't believe taking your stress out on her to second guess is gunna' change anything." he stated trying to be tactful as possible. He didn't want to disrespect the very leader that he would give his life for. He turned his head slightly to Ten. "After all m'Lord." he said winking at her then slowly starting towards the exit. He put his hand on the door and began to step out. "She's had the worst of Lucian's wrath than any of us. And this war has yet to come." he said grimly leaving the Throne Room to seek out his father.

She saw a women move through the forest but ordered her knights to stand down. It was the women who introduced her to Lucian. A smile painted her face as she thought of dealing with the woman. She had also been keeping her ear open to every conversation that was audioable. this James person intringued her. He has a youthful charm to him. Seeing him defend the monster woman made her smile. oh how Orchid loved chivalry. She finished her preparations and strutted over to Eon. Everything is in order my lord. Ive raised a forest 40 miles wide filled with the worlds most fearsome forest mythical beasts and plants. But then she backed away as she heard him say he sent assassins to kill Lucian. I believe you just doomed those poor souls. Have you takin the time to consider wat the lady has been saying. She has experienced his power first hand. Im not saying we should just give up and die, but to send assassins, especially ones who have no clue what kind of demon they are dealing with, is pure suicide. sighing she bowed. Forgive me my lord, I spoke out of emotions. It wont happen again. She turned and walked toward the flower-like chair and continued to monitor the borders.================ ☠ ================== ☸.

Ivy had return to the Zaibatsu, in time for people to flee. Her encounter with Dameon shook her, it upset her, and she didn't know how to feel, how to respond after years and years of avoiding him. She knew this would be war, she didn't want it to be, but she knew blood would shed. "You were right Ten. Dameon took Nine."

Ten looked at Ivy in the corner of her eye with annoyance. "I told you your husband captured mine." But before Ten had realized what she had done, that she had let Ivy's secret slip off her tongue before Eon, it was too late.
She realized what she had done, and tried to pretend she said nothing, in hopes Eon didn't hear, but even if he had, it was time he knew.

Eon nodded to Orchid as she informed him that she had redrawn his attention to the forest 'barrier' she made on his orders. He glanced to Ten then back to the plant woman and sighed. Ten
"Any well trained assassin should know when, how and where to strike to make a quick clean kill and be competent enough to take down even the most tactical of minds. Lucian while a truly fearsome foe is no different. If the assassin's I sent are worth half of their salt then it shouldn't be long before we have Lucian's head on a pike. Though you are in your right to ask why. I am not perfect and nor do I expect such from anyone else. Though I remember once hearing a saying... The night is always darkest before the dawn." He spoke with confidence in not only himself but those he had tasked with something many would deem impossible. He, being somewhat naive to the world, held out hope that they could, no, would prevail over Lucian. As he spoke he overlooked his mother's return and Ten conversing thus not hearing Ten's slip though it wasn't long before his gaze found his mother and his eyes lit up with relief and joy.
"Mother! There you are! Where did you go that prompted such haste?" he spoke with concern and care for his only known parent as he stood up from the throne and walked over to is mother.
"You aren't injured are you?" he asked as he noticed his mother's demeanor was slightly off and almost seemed troubled, not that many could see it as his mother was very good at hiding everything behind a calm facade and he had barely been able to see it. Had she encountered something or someone?

Lucian  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A black fog swarmed the barrier that Ten had created causing it to strain and fracture. The fractures were enough for the fog to seep through it and the fog did until all of that dark cloud existed on the inside of the barrier and reformed into Lucian. The Elder King walked calmly towards the throne room when guard suddenly stepped in front of the doors. The guard charged and Lucian responded to their attack defensively. Lucian sidestepped the guards blade and with a swift chop to the back of his head the guard fell unconscious. Lucian moved forward pushing the throne room doors wide open.
Before him the room was full of people he would have much liked to see suffer. Eon primarily. "Fearsome? you have only seen me be merciful. I spare your people, your land, and you. Then you sent an assassin to kill me? If you want my head boy, come and take it yourself." Lucian made no threats about his army swarming them and occupying the city because Dameon would determine when the army moved in to the city. Lucian would deal with the king and anyone who stood in his way.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"If you think this has a happy ending, then you haven't been paying attention."

Before she could answer her son, Lucian appeared in their presence. She was shocked, in awe, and apart of her was in fear. "You attacked his kingdom?" With her eyes widen with disbelief, she couldn't believe the stupidity of her son. She had left only for a moments time and he made a decision without her consent.
"Run" She looked Eon dead straight in the eyes as she spoke. Vanishing before all three of them, Ivy left the presence of Lucian and headed out towards the battle field. [exits]
