Maero Still felt like something was amiss, but she accepted Rouchlos's excuse. Glancing towards the giant green colored dragon, she smiled, feeling how thankful Eleniel was for meeting her own kin for the first time in a long long time.
No matter how brief.
Tentively, she placed a hand on Kat's arms re-asuringly, hoping he'd calm down. The poor man was like a badger caught in a very tightly enclosed space with something he obviously hated.
She should have known from the moment they all met, this wind-bound individual didn't do well underground or in sealed spaces.
Frankly, neither did she, but over the years she'd learned to control her wild tendancies brought on by having a dragon's influence fused with her own.
Mearo would started for the tunnel that elad to the dining hall, watching as the boys brought in the meats for the dragons. she chuckled inwardly, feeling Eleniel groan in disapointment... how she'd love to sink her teeth into physical meat and enjoy it's taste.
' you'll just have to be satisfied with whatever meats I consume.
~ You don't eat nearly as fervently as I do, you have no fangs or claws to tear the flesh apart, and the meat is always cooked, never fresh and bloody.~
' We all make sacrifices Eleniel.
~ True.. though I do miss the days when we were both innocent and wild.~
' Yes yes... and all other beings through I was crazy?'
~ Not crazy... just hungery.~
Maero shook her head physically, and bowing to Rouchlos in polight thanks, she continued down into the dining hall. The smell of the food beconing her like a moth to an flame.

Kat was about to pull his daggers out when he felt the gentle touch of Maero's hand on his arm, he looked over at her and smiled, chuckling softly as he pulled his hands out of robes, leaving his daggers in his robes.
"I guess the saying is true, behind every great man is an even better woman" he said quietly, standing aside and letting her pass before following behind her at a respectable distance. as he approached the doors he pointed a finger behind him at his dragon, who had taken a couple of steps out of his pen and called back to him "Stay!" Tenchi stepped back into his pen and started to tear into the meat, knowing Katushito meant it. he shot a glance of anger at Rouchlos, as if to say "You're lucky Maero is here" and continued walking behind Maero. for some reason, he felt compelled to protect her, he didn't know why, but he knew that he had to do it.

Darza arched an eyebrow behind the hood that hid his face. He must admit, her...tone..., was a bit suprising and he was not a creature to be suprised offended. Even so, he had his orders from his master.
...Look all you like, but do not touch...
"Since when did you behave," question Darza. His head tilted to the side like a curious dog. Either way, he quickly snatched his hand back from her before grabbing a hold of the scarf he was previously aiming for. The material was ripped to pieces by his quick moment, revealing the mark of a dragon rider on her shoulder. "Good...you are a true dragon rider."
He moved away slightly so he could look at her better, "Tell me of your dragon..."
*Elsewhere*
Brom was currently stilling in the saddle with his arms crossed over his chest. An look of unamusement adorn his tensed face. Before him stood a solid wall of rock and sand. Drumming his fingers along his arm, Brom let out a large sigh. He had followed his beckon to this very spot, a group of rocks just outside of Bullridge. He could still hear the echoing of the stone he gave the Maero's dragon, but even still, he was a bit shocked to find...this...blocking his path.
"I am old...," muttered Brom adsentmindedly, "But I am not that OLD!"
He knew the beckon was coming from the other side of the rock, the question was now: How in the HELL was he suppose to get to that other side? Apparently there was alot more than what met the eye here and now.
...So much for trying to move quietly and not draw alot of attention!!

This time it was Gwen's turn to arch her eyebrows. "What dragon? This is but a simple birthmark," she said in the same tone as before. She didn't want to give her plan away early, so she kept a solid mental wall up.

As the three people wondered down the tunnel it soon opened up into a real complex. with ample lighting along every hall way and each door being marked with a color and ether a symbol or name beneath the band of color. With Rouclos leading the way every person the three of them ran into ether sharply or smoothly moved aside giving all of them a clear and straight berthing where ever they walked. with little conversion coming from Rouchlos he kept his eyes forwards. looking as if he was deeply worried about the cave in. Witch in all honesty was not far from the truth. Rouchlos was truly worried about his men, the two women that he had moved into their own rooms and finally he was more worried about Durza and his habits. Despite the fat that he was on an errand of the king he still was a dark and twisted man, and it seamed like he had gotten even more disgusting and vile in his absence. With was something Rouchlos thought was impossible.
Upon entering the officer dinning hall there was a few rows of tables. all of the wide enough to comfortably fit two men across form each other and still have about a foot for the food to be set down. there were a few pockets of men that were eating and conversing like you would expect old friends. but the second Rouchlos stepped into the room it went dead silent and the pockets of men bolted to their feet standing straight up their arms and head locked in place as if the were stone.
"Relax men." Is all Rouchlos say's before the men sit back down and instantly get back to their conversions. With the tables actually getting cleared from the dinner that had just transpired Rouchlos takes the closest open table. sitting down after offering a seat to Maero, and Kat. With fresh food fit for a kings table already on its way.
**meanwhile**
Royka was paceig around the command room. looking at the reports of daily activities wondering why this man cloaked in darkness commanded so much respect from his lord. but his mind was torn from its trin of thought as a scout barged into the room.
"Royka! Royka!... there is a... a man" The scout starts off his breathing fast and heavy as if he was sprinting for a mile. "He is riding a horse and starring at our outer gate."
Roykas eye ripped open at the announcement. no human had ever been at their walls un-announced. unless they had been lost in the desrt for some time and in any case they would just move on. not sit and stare at the rock face that kept this place a secret.
"Has he done anything?" Royka responds his legs getting filled with energy as he stands and starts heading out to take a look himself.
"No sir, he is just starring. he is very old... perhaps he is just looking."
"no one just looks here Green. Go and inform lord Rouchlos. But be careful and tactful. HE has guests that i think he would rather keep calm and willing to stay for the time being." With that Roykas body disappeared into the dark hallway that lead straight for the front gate. with his legs kicking into a dead sprint a hint of a golden sash could e seen glittering in the torch light attached to a three part staff. getting to the front gate within a few minuets he hunched down keeping his presence as unnoticeable as possible. as he watched the man waiting, trying to choose if he should attack or let him be.

Darza made a face then of not having anymore amusement and uttered boredom. He figure the girl a bit smarter...than....this! He had saw her dragon, hell he was the one that frozen its a** in the rivers with the old fart.
"Enough of this," said Darza as his hand once again lashed out. His cold, scaly palm hit Gwen square on her rider's mark that rested on her shoulder. A fire then raced through Gwen body setting her nervous system into overdrive. As the woman buckled over and went down to a knee, Darza began to smile once more. "Enough games, it is time for you to be branded my dear!"
"Now...this won't hurt...much..."
*Outside the Front Gate*
Brom swung his leg over and slide out of the saddle. He muttering millions of curses in thousands of languages. He was clearly unamused that he was spending his night tracking a bunch of youth riders. He would not be doing this if a certain feeling wasn't intensifing. If this prove to be someone idea of joke, then he was going to make sure he had the last laugh.
Didn't he have better things to do? Oh right...no he didn't. All he knew that once he caught up, they were going to sit their butts down and shut the hell up so he could get some shut eye. Then they would start over in the morning or night, whatever the hell it would be, and talk then!
Brom let out a toothy yawn. "Aw...Hell," spoke Brom aloud," He just had to come back...some much for retirement. So stop your moaning Brom and get back into the swing of things. It is not like it is their fault..." Brom walked up to the stone and began to give it a good tapping. After a few minutes, with hands now on his hips, Brom began to tap his foot, "Okay, your definitely solid...could I be wrong? No...maybe." Brom then turned his back to the wrong and began to rub his chin, sighing occasionally. He was quickly running out of options and his last resort was to blow a ******** hole in the mountain side. He fairly sure that would draw attention that he so didn't want.

As her body felt it was on fire she tried her hardest not to scream aloud, but to scream mentally hoping her rang would either get Relena, Kaida, or preferably both. "I will never serve the king," she hissed through her teeth. She figured that seeing her family get killed again would hurt less then what this demon was putting her though. "And that dragon wasn't mine. She belonged to a friend who is now long dead," she lied, though her voice betrayed the pain she was feeling.

((Not yours...hm...interesting blaugh )) Darza pulled back his hand, blowing the smoke off of it as it rose from his palm. There on Gwen's shoulder, beneath her dragon mark, laid a dragon claw burned into the skin on her shoulder. The dragon rider mark above remained untouched as it rested above the charred surface. "There now," spoke Darza, "That's better."  ((Imagine this mark beneath the dragon rider one your character has.))

((he doesn't know how they met now does he. smile ))
Gwen choked as she tried to hold back tears caused by the pain. "I will find away to get rid of that," she hissed as she looked at him, her eyes blood-shot from the pain.

((Oooooh, now you have me curious!!! No fair!!!!))
((Speaking of: Where did everyone else go. I know I vanished for a bit but I didn't have much of a choice. Sadly mothers win in everything... I am having a hard time progressing futher here and I promised Kat's and Maero a special part in the roleplay soon. I hope I don't have to put that off futher.))
Darza cocked his head to the left, beneath the hood that hid his face Gwen could see the fanged teeth in a large, humorous grin. "Perhaps," said Darza, his index finger waving at her now, "But not on your own." Darza wasn't gentle as he grab a fist full of her shirt and pulled her to her feet. She was tossed down and onto the bed as Darza turned to the door.
There stood a dark elf with piercing red eyes, and in her arms was a very awake but very quiet, young baby Alice. "Ah, I see you had success," muttered Darza.
Selena shrugged her shoulder, her mind clearly preoccupied and unsure of what his version of success meant, "She is here is she not? Now, what does our King wish of this one." Selena motion her head at Alice, who was clearly too young for any of the King's plans at the moment. Selena lifted her head and stared at Gwen before chuckling in Darza direction, "It took you that long to acquire that that..."
Darza actually let out a growl at her, "She had assistance that was needed to be removed first. Why else did the King tell you to wait until Relena was taken first. She wasn't always in her death-like state until just recently." He then looked down to Alice and gave a frown. How he hated infants, they only served a purpose of feeling his shadow beast. "Their so easily malipulated at this age. Leave this thing with her," said Darza as he pointed to Gwen and exited the room.
Selena watched him leave, pausing as she considered handing the young baby to this Gwen Darza pointed too. Was she growing attach to the baby, protective even? Selena was shaking her head violently as she approached Gwen. Grabbing the older girl she pull Gwen to her and forced her arms out in front of her. They immediately were occupied with young Alice that was starting to whine. "Not exactly motherly are you, but for the moment you will have to do," muttered Selena in a not very nice tone before exiting herself, the doors locking behind her.
*Dining Hall*
Kat and Maero were being served as the doors opened to the dining the room. A young man, an attractive man, with a head of flaming red hair entered the room. There was brief and quick moment that the man locked eyes on Rouchlos form before making his way to the table that all three were residing at.
Rouchlos knew immediately who the new comer was, his single word to him echoed in his head. "Improvise..."
...It was Darza.
The man reached the table and immediately bowed to Rouchlos as any soldier would, "The perimeter has been cleared, our elfin enemies have returned to their forest, sir." He straightened then, watching Maero the whole time, before returning his attention back to Rouchlos, "Permission to join for a much...needed...meal?"

((You did it to me so it's only fair. And I don't know where they are.))
She let out a grunt as she hit the bed. It may have been soft, but that didn't stop it from hurting. When Selena walked in with Alice it took most of Gwen's physical discipline resist attacking her. The infant reminded her of the little sister she had lost a few years back.
Gwen was surprised when Alice was placed in her arms. When she started to whine, Gwen gently rocked her back and forth. "Usstan kestal dos el, dos insufferable cahlind. L' toha flamgra'in elghinn dos belbaus ussta fuma," she hissed at Selena as she walked out of the room, not really caring if she understood or not. "Shh. It's ok, I won't let them hurt you," she cooed softly. 'I'm sorry for not protecting you, Amilia,' she thought to her dead sister.
((Usstan kestal dos el, dos insufferable cahlind. L' toha flamgra'in elghinn dos belbaus ussta fuma. = I hope you die, you insufferable snake. The same burning death you gave my family.))

((i was waiting sorry)...and i got to make another NPC for his cover.. thanks lol)
Rouchlos's mind went into super over drive when Durza walked into the dinning hall. For a split second he almost want to lash out at the man and beat him back into the hall. but if he had noticed him than every other person in that hall felt his entrance as well. thought only people that knew Durza, or at least as closely as Rouchlos had been able to gain in their extremely short time together could feel the lights getting a little darker, or just this presence of pure evil ouzzing out from every pour of Durza's soul. no matter what form he chose to take that feeling was still there. Trust me it takes some getting used to once you figure out how to sense it.
"Ahh, Hatal." Rouchlos starts off his form relaxing as if he was talking to a comrade of ether equal or near equal rank. for once Rouchlos was glad that Durza had his twisted ways to tell tales nd slip into the brightest areas as a small shadow. the 'Report' and request was perfect timing. making the completion of the cover story a set match for Rouchlos to continue into. "Please sit, eat to your hearts content. After a patrol like that you and your men must be exhausted." He finishes off offering Durza a seat to his left, a seemingly un-motivated motion, but to Rouchlos it was a way to show his loyalties sense his weapons were on that side and drawing them in time for a good parry or guard was near impossible.

Kat remained standing behind Maero, even as she sat down to eat. as the new man entered the hall, he could barely feel the evil from the man...barely, but it was enough to put him on edge. This was getting out of hand, in an underground liar with no wind, his powers were useless, and at the moment he was separated from Tenchi. it was too much, and he needed to do something to ease his stress. Walking towards a torch, his hands reached into his robes, to many it looked liked he was reaching for his daggers, but anyone who knew him or seen him reach for his daggers before would notice that his hands were higher up in his robes than usual. after gazing into the flame for some time, he pulled out two objects, a small brown bag and a blue pipe with gold inlays. he opened the pouch and sniffed it, taking in the sweet scent of tobacco. even 500 years of isolation couldn't keep Kat from his favorite vice: Smoking. pouring a bit of his favorite crop into his pipe, he placed the bowl into the flame and inhaled through the hole on the other end, lighting the plant on fire for just a split second, then pulling his pipe out and letting it burn ever so slowly. he exhaled slowly as well, thick gray smoke hanging around his head for a second like a halo before dissipating. walking back over to the table, he remained behind Maero, but at a respectful distance so his smoke wouldn't bother her, and he was careful to breath his smoke away from her. placing the pipe in his lips, he glanced over at the new comer, then back at Rouchlos, a slight frown coming to the other side of his mouth.
"Who's this pissant?" Kat asked, the pipe bouncing around on his lips as he spoke. he took in another puff of his smoke while waiting for Rouchlos to answer. surprisingly, his tone of voice wasn't anger or irritation, it was rather...jesting

Darza had to give Rouchlos credit where credit was due. He was definitely fast on his feet with a even faster mind. Even so...Hatal was not the name he would have choosen. It seem so human.
...Not his taste at all! Oh well, time to act his part now...
Hatal rose from his seat and bowed at Kat politely. "The name is Hatal. I am the head of the scouting division for Rouchlos here," explained Hatal as he straighten, "Rouchlos was worried that the three of you had been followed by your...ambushers...so he ordered my team and I to make sure they did follow you and to cover your tracks." Hatal then turned to Maero, took her hand, and placed a light kiss on the top of it. "Forgive me of my manners miss," Hatal suddenly straigtened and turn to Kat," and Sir. I am afraid we're just a bunch of roughiens here, mines only skin deep as I haven't had a bath yet," said Hatal as he gave his outer jacket a pat down to give truth to his words. Sand immediately feel to the ground. "We don't get many guests...not like that a bad thing I assure you," said Hatal waving his hands in the air in a joking, anime nervous manner.
"Ohoy, I fear I just put our good leader in a bad light," said Hatal rubbing his head as he looked over his shoulder at Rouchlos. The expression on Hatal face was one expecting to lose his head.
Darza was beginning to hope the King didn't have an use for Kat. He was starting to imagine all of the death scenario's he could possibly have in store for the man. It had been a while since he had given a good killing.

Little did Durza know that his addiction on to the cover was perfect. There was actually, a young captain of the guard that lead many if not all of the major patrols of Rouchlos's region. their looks were almost perfect, body size build even the armor was near exact. "Remarkable... for hating humans so much he know how to make a very general look to blend with almost anyone." Rouchlos thinks to himself as he starts eating leaving the two 'gentlemen' to their conversation.
"Ohoy, I fear I just put our good leader in a bad light,"
"you say that like its a bad thing Hatal... Your patrols keep this place a secret from the rest of the world. the fact that we barely have any guests at all is proof at your efficiency and skill, and that of your men." Rouchlos comments quickly trying to make the words flow out like he and 'Hatal' were long time friends and the friendly banter was normal. though Rouchlos was getting the feeling that Durza was getting a little to excited about all of this.
