Aki nodded. "James, to put this simply, I am not a mercenary, nor was I born from a common woman. My given name is not Aki. I am actually Akihiko Kiyoshi Faren, the son of the late king and queen and true heir to the throne."
"Y-You...But...I thought..." James was obviously shocked.
"As you can see, Gailor lied about Prince Akihiko having been killed," Hana said.
"But if it hadn't been for Hana, I would have been killed during the escape from the castle," Aki added.
"You mean...you knew about this?" James asked Hana.
"Yes, I did. We didn't tell you not because we didn't trust you, but because we didn't want news of his location to get out before he was ready to confront Gailor," Hana explained.
Aki turned his attention back to Bjorn. "I need to correct you on one point. I am neither prince nor king so long as Gailor sits on my father's throne. Faren ceased to exist when he took the throne two years ago, and it has been part of Gailor since. If anything, I am the prince of a dead country. However, I don't intend on it remaining dead for much longer. I am going to reclaim the throne in the name of Faren and resurrect my dead country," he said, determination in his voice.
"Your Highness, I fear I must correct you on something. Gailor is not sitting on your father's throne. He's sitting on yours. It is your birthright to be sitting on that throne right now, and I will do all in my power to see to it that you are placed on the throne," Hana said.

Kai watched the conversation of the group in silence, a thin smile on his face. At least their resolution is strong. We might be able to do this. Kai was obviously pleased that the Prince still had a desire to reclaim the land. The fact that he had made himself combat-worthy made Kai even more excited.
Though it'll still be incredibly hard task taking the throne back with only a handful of people. Kai shook his head, letting out an exasperated sigh.
Kai shifted his eyes from the group to the man, lying on the floor. Though we would have to do something about him, he thought. A figment of memory crept itself into Kai's head. This man works for Gailor! Another smile spread itself over his face, though this one tinted with menace. Slowly, Kai walked over to the downed man. Putting his finger to the man's wounds, Kai drew out a thin droplet of the man's blood. Mumbling a word, Kai collected the blood into a small phial.
Kai had performed a magic that lets one keep track on another individual. Though it was possible to do without the droplet, Kai found it easier with, as the droplet of blood could be used to immediately to find the man.
The blood collected, Kai returned to the group.
"Dear Prince, I'm afraid I must suggest that we find a more....suitable place to hold palaver. I would hate it if more aggressors come stumbling into our presence," Kai suggested.

Bjorn listened to the story Aki told. It didn't answer his question of HOW they survived, but he knew pushing it would not get him anywhere.
Instead he chuckled. "No, Your Highness. Faren exists so long as you live, King Faren. And so long as you live, I, as your Captain, will remain by your side to make sure that you continue to live." he said, drawing his claymore.
He planted the massive sword's blade into the dirt, then, holding both hands on the hilt, he knelt behind it, head down, his whole body and the sword facing Aki.

Nalken slowly began to move, his hand trembled as the group talking had slowly begun to awaken him from his state. His eyes slowly began to open realizing that he was vulnerable to their attack or whatever else they would do to him. "Ugh." Nalken mumbled quietly trying to move a piece of wood but causing it to come crashing down. His eyes grew with fear but he tried to remain calm as he slowly looked up at the group as they had just finished talking.

[Ah, no worries. I actually prefer an RP that trudges along at a reasonable pace, even and slow. Not like some I'm in that go by so fast you have to constantly be watching the thread.]

[A rp that can go on 2 pages long a day is pretty good if you think about it]

((*Shrug* I'm kinda in between myself. If it goes too slowly, I start to fear that it's dying, but if it goes too fast, I can't keep up. I've had to quit several RPs because I couldn't keep up and I didn't know what was going on, including one that I helped create.))
Aki had been about to respond when the man from before moved. After he moved, Aki remained silent. He didn't know who he was, but Kai had taken a drop of his blood, which usually meant he wanted to watch him. Kai's intuition was always right. One of the reasons he was his parents' Divinator.
((I guess that'll have to work. I can't think of anything else.))

((No one's doing anything!
I'll try to get you guys moving))
Kai was getting restless. They had squandered around this area for too long. If anymore people came, it would only attract attention. They've got to get out of here. And swiftly. Kai didn't like staying in one place for too long; it leaves the whole group vulnerable.
"Dear Prince, we've got to get out of here. Before anymore bandits, or worse, Gailor's men find us. We need to form a plan before we can lead an official opposition."

Bjorn shook his head at Kai's suggestion. It was smart, to a degree. But not yet. They had only a handful of soldiers: revolutions were conducted with a couple thousand handfuls.
"It's a good plan, Kai...but not at the moment." he large man stated, shaking his head a second time.
"We don't have the manpower to do something like that." he added. "If we did, they would just send their army after us. I'm good, Hana's good, the Prince is good...we're all good, but we can't take on a large force." he finished.

"You're right. We need more people. If I were to openly pronounce who I am, Gailor could easily destroy us because of our lack of numbers. So far as I know, only the four of us escaped Kyaro two years ago," Aki said.
"And I don't have the kind of training soldiers would have received," James added.
"I think I may have a solution for our lack of numbers," Hana told them. "But I would prefer to not speak out here. Let us return to the village elder's house and speak."
((With your permission, I would like to make a really small timeskip. Just to the elder's house.))

At a outpost near Kyaro, Joseph keeps thinking of his brother. "I cant even imagine hows my brother doing, I must find a way to free him without betraying Gailor to show him my loyalty to free my brother," he said. *He goes back to his quarters and decides to rest for now.*

((Okay.)) Five minutes later Aki and everyone were now standing inside the elder's house. The elder had paid Aki, Hana, and James for their services and paid Kai and Bjorn for helping them as well. Then he had left the group to talk alone. "All right, Hana, what do you have in mind for our number problem?" he asked."I was thinking that we break into the Gailor prisoner camps and release the captured Faren soldiers," Hana said.((XD The traditional Fire Emblem method of increasing numbers.))
