(sorry. Slept in. mmm. Sleeping in feels good)
The temple finnaly reached it's destination in the dawn of this new day. It was slowly slid into the pit that had been dug for it the night before. A tremor went through the ground as the Black temple was slid into place in the middle of the camp. Thousands of people, mostly workers joined the camps around the temple, bringing with them tons of supplies. Logs, wood, rope, food. Almost everything one could think of.
Caliver moved up to the temple, and began walking up the stairs. It was time to begin. Their god would be summoned forth.
Paradox walked into the main hall. "I have news of the enemy camp." He said calmly.

Sekain turned to Paradox "Oh phew you're back" he chuckled "Matachi has yet to return" Sekain said turning back to Dialh "What news?"
BoI had arrived at the camp along with the temple and was greeted by the camp with open arms she dismounted and looked for Caliver to stay at his side, thats what she was there for of course. She saw him ascending the stairs and removed her hood as she stood firm at teh base of them

Caliver moved to the pinnacle of the temple, to the top where he could be seen by all. The power that he had been carefully molding around the capital was complete. The ability was given to him by the True God upon his vows of fealty. It was a way of teaching the ignorant, for he spread the word. Caliver Wolf was the Voice of Insomnia. "All the people who have gathered here, today. . . " The prophet began. The voice was heard through out the capital, as his power acted as a microphone for his voice. Nobody could miss the sweet melody of his whispering. This was the beginning.
Paradox took out a small report. "The person who attacked our cavalry is known as the Crimson Death, or the Blade of Insomnia by her own people, but I also found out that they are expecting reinforcements by tonight." Paradox told Sekain. The giant had two people on the inside.

Sekain nodded "I know her, she's one of the deadliet Assassins I know, without power she could match myself and Nikura. But only they know what she's been blessed with, what ever it is it cannot be good for us" he said reluctantly not wanting to admit it. He turned hearing the announcement seeing a large black structure outside the castle gates. "Paradox" he said calmly looking out over the city. "I beleive it has begun"

Paradox nodded regretfully. "This is looking far too familiar for my tastes." Paradox said to himself. The giant was begining to think that he knew the person behind all of this. "I know the best killer in the world, but I am reluctant to ask his help in this matter." Paradox said as he walked up to see what this prophet was speaking of.
The prophet continued his message. "Have been decieved to the true danger you have been placed into. We came only to ask the Queen's help. She has refused. Now we must use violence to garner the support we need. Despite the lies taught to you by your leaders, we are not barbarians. Our rules are as concrete as the earth upon which we breathe. . ." The prophet continued, his voice heard in every corner of the massive city.

Katherine's head jerked up in a quick motion. She stood but stood much to fast and had to grip the table for balance for a moment. Her purple eyes saw Sekain and Dialh in the doorway she ran a hand through her hair and put a smile on her face as she walked to the door. She looked to Paradox with a smile. "You have a report for me i believe. A little late i must say. Is it.. " Katherine noticed it was day light then and walked towards the window. She felt the muscles of her stomach tighten as she saw the massive temple. No she pushed all ill thoughts back till later till she was alone. "Don't worry we will see that thing burnt to the ground before today's end." She spoke with condifeince.

Paradox sighed to himself. "It is far later than it should be." He said to Katherine. "The docks are still ours, and everything is calm so far." he spoke of the docks. the main problem with that was that there hadn't been any report from the seas since yesterday, and that never boded well.

Sekain turned to Paradox and nodded before turning around to face Katherine he smiled nodding in greeting, "The woman that disrrupted the raid is known throughout the lands as 'Crimson Death', and apparently she has been recently dubbed the 'Blade of Insomnia" Sekain said looking over towards Paradox as he remained next to him his arms at his side as he was looking up to his covered face.
Meanwhile BoI stood at the bottom of the temple steps watching the camp nod and smile at the prophets words as she two smiled her arms crossed infront of her chest. awaiting the next words.

"I sent Matachi for that Paradox. What i want to know was what killed my men but enough of that i want to send a messanger to ask a visit from our cult friends. I want them to ask whatever his name was to meet me here again." A smile played her lips. "Thinking of Matachi he should have been back by now as well." Her purple eyes looked to Sekain and noded some. "Then you know her style, her training and back ground that can help."

Sekain nodded "I know her style indeed, however no one knows her back ground" he paused and stepped forwards "Katherine she is one of the best assassins I know. I seriously hope for the sake of our men that she hasn't been gifted by this 'god' because without a gift, she was difficult to match. Nikura and Aldon struggled also. She is one of the only assassins in the lands that failed to be accepted into the Order." he looked at his hands "She was forbidden entry to the order by Illomeania because she was deemed too wreckless"

The Prophet continued speaking to the entirety of the Capital. ""Those of you who do not fight shall not be harmed, but each and every one who chooses to shall be struck down by the followers of the true god. Those that are captured will be staked to a tree and left to die as a public example. Those that surrender will not be harmed. The Queen's closest freinds and family will be killed unless she chooses to surrender, and She herself will be captured. If She decide to commit Suicide, all the people The queen have been trying to protect will be hunted down, tortured, and finnaly exterminated." The prophet spoke the words almost calmly, surreally. They frightened people in the streets and began doubt everwhere else. That was enough for now. He began to make his way down Temple. they would be wanting to speak one final time, before he was ordered to attack. He motioned for B to follow him.
Paradox turned around to leave. A messenger was sent to the Gates to bring the Prophet to the Castle once again. The prophet was already there and ready to go. A messanger was sent back, so Paradox came back into the room. "They are on their way."

B nodded very regimentedly and followed in suit with Calvier. Her face was blank she didn't feel like a human. She walked at Calviers right side but slightly behind him as the preist was on his left. Her Crimson cape was bright red. An unusualy colour for an assassin to be wearing as they are usually dressed in dark collours allowing themselves to blend in. But B never needed to.

Katherine had herd the little message though she didn't look angery. She looked at the two of them. "Listen do not mention the fact that Matachi hasn't returned i want know one in the hall but you two and him." She looked to Dialh who noded headed away. She then brushed her hands through her hair and rubbed her face a bit as she started back down to the main hall. "Don't act like anything they have done has phased us one bit."
