[Tavern] Fenris hugged Vivian and then the two of them went to bed. Fenris waited for Vivian to fell asleep then he put on some clothes and sneaked out of the room, through the window and pulled himself onto the roof. He sat down on the roof and gazed at the moon. After a moment he summoned the wolves. Blackmane: Well this is peculiar. Fenris: Yeah, but it's important... Blackmane and the other wolves lied down around Fenris. Fenris: Did you sense something odd from me earlier today? Blackmane nodded. Fenris: Because of that I need you to find something for me. He reached into one of his pouches and pulled out a dried plant. Fenris: This... Blackmane sniffed at the plant and nodded. Blackmane: I guessed it would be that, but why? Fenris: Because I have lost control... Blackmane: But how? Fenris: This is the main reason... Fenris lifted his arm and let lightning energy flicker across it. Blackmane: I see, it's all the changes that have been happening... and the catalyst? Fenris: Her... it's her, or rather them... Blackmane: Them? Fenris grinned at Blackmane. Fenris: She's pregnant. All the wolves raised their heads at that. Blackmane: Say no more, we will search tonight. Fenris: Thank you, my brothers and sisters. Silverfang: It's the way of the Wolves. All of the wolves stood up. Blackmane: We hunt. Fenris stood up also. Fenris: I protect. Silverfang: Those who oppose us... Fenris: Their blood shall flow. The wolves and Fenris let out a deep resounding howl that echoed throughout the town, driving the few who still were wandering outside indoors. The wolves then jumped off the roof each heading to a different direction, searching for the plant. Fenris was left alone on the rooftop, he lifted his gaze back to the moon. Fenris: Beware... the Wolf and the Moon. After a while he snuck back in, undressed and went back to the bed. Vivian was mumbling something in her sleep, but stopped when Fenris put his arm around her, she then snuggled closer to him and Fenris placed his head next to her's. Fenris: Sweet dreams... He was asleep a moment later. |

OOC @ Kenji- I already gave a short summary, guess you did see it. It's the OOC in this post (Actually, I introduced the thing that will keep them on the road in this post, Matis and Oscar). Also, we probably won't be able to wrap it up too soon with our group (since Vivian's pregnant XD). But that's a small subplot thing, so you can go around it I guess. XD [Vivian][Tavern] When Vivian woke up the next day, it was already late morning. She noticed Fenris was still sleep, and quietly slipped out of bed and put on a simple green dress, and put her cloak on top of it. Well I'm feeling sick, so I guess I managed to eat the stew alright, Vivian thought, I could have sworn I heard wolves howling last night... But it must have been a dream or something. Vivian on some stocking and shoes, and decided to check on the horses, not wanting to take a chance with breakfast yet. She slipped out of the tavern and made her way back to the stables. She was only down there for a few moments, petting and checking on Dusk and Fate, before she heard someone say her name. Although, Vivian could tell it wasn't Fenris' voice. She stood against the wall of the stable and held her breath, letting the cloak turn her invisible. She silently listened as she heard two men outside the stable. "I could have sworn I felt her presence around here," A man with a deeper voice said. "Yeah, but I say Vivian's at that inn a bit further in town." A man with a higher pitched voice said, "Since she's from a noble family and all, I doubt she would be caught dead in a tavern like this." "Oscar, you're forgetting about her husband," The man with the deeper voice said, "He's the type who stays at places like this." Vivian had to breathe after awhile, but she held it again as soon as she saw the two men come into the stable. One was an older man with graying hair, and he had the image of being someone powerful. The other man was much younger, probably about the same age as Fenris, and very tall and thin. Vivian could recognize the older man, she knew she has seen him before, but she couldn't think of where it was or who he was. "Yeah, but Vivian wouldn't..." The younger man with the high pitched voice, Oscar started to say, but the older one put his hand to Oscar's mouth to silence him. "Be quiet and let me concentrate!" The older man told him. In her fear of being discovered, Vivian made an ice clone of herself on the other side of the wall she was pressed against, which was on the outside, and made it run in front of the tavern and down the main street of the town. "Do you sense that?" the older man asked Oscar. "Yes, she's on the move Matis, let's go!" Oscar exclaimed and started to run off, but Matis walked more slowly and seemed to have his doubts about the distraction Vivian made. "Although I can feel she's still here, in this area," Matis muttered, "She's a smart one, I'll give her that. Just like her father... Well, I'll have to outsmart her. She knows her father sent us after her, but somehow... We have to find her..." He then walked after Oscar and out of the stable, and Vivian finally let out her breath. Thankfully they bought the clone trick I used, Vivian thought, But, they are pretty powerful. And I remember Matis now... He's one of my father's friends. And my father was very smart to send him after us. Matis is a tracker, he can find anyone as long as he knows what type of aura they have. And he knows mine in detail, since he's seen me before and I have the same magical aura as my father... I can't sense things like that, but it would only make sense since we both are Illusion Masters. He could find me so easily... We have to try and lose him. We have to leave now. Vivian went out of the stable, and making sure Matis and Oscar weren't in sight, she ran back into the tavern and into the room she and Fenris were in. She saw Fenris was up now. "We have to get out of here," Vivian said, "Now. I'll explain it all later. But we need to leave right now." She ran over to her bag, and put it on. She didn't unpack anything, so she was ready to go now. She stood at the door and waited for Fenris so they could leave. ![]() |

[Sosuke Aizen][Helms Deep][Evening] The view from the battlements would have, as Sosuke believed, been beautiful had there not been two powerful armies heading in their direction. Night was approaching as throughout the entirety of Helm's Deep, people mulled about making ready for the upcoming battle that would soon begin. The darkening sky rumbled as dark clouds gathered and Legolas looked up at them from where he was standing on the battlements next to a rather impatient Gamling who was jumping up and down every now and again as he tried to remove his nervousness. Legolas sighed momentarily as he continued to stare at the sky, "A storm comes." he whispered as Gamling looked at him. "Very perceptive of you." he muttered as Legolas gave him a sideways glance, but chose not to comment. Legolas turned slightly as he felt a presence beside him and turned to see Sosuke with a grim look, his haori blowing in the wind. Then Legolas and Gamling looked up as Mohandar, Haldir and Théoden came to stand with them on the battlements, "How are the men fairing?" Sosuke asked Legolas as he stopped next to him. Legolas looked down at the Archers below, "I do not know about angels, but it is fear that gives men wings." the archer whispered cryptically as Sosuke nodded slightly knowing what he meant by that. Sosuke: "I've still got another card to play before they reach here." Sosuke made a few hand-seals while channeling water mana in his hands. he then unleashed his spell into the sky. The sky began to darken as what looked like a rain storm had been summoned. As the first few drops fell, Mohandar reached out and touched a drop before looking at Sosuke, Mohandar: "Uramiame (Grudge Rain), eh? You're possibly the only guy I know that can hold it for so long. Not even master Zeratul can hold it and fight for more than a few minutes." Théoden looked confusedly at Mohandar: "Uraiame?" Mohandar explained: "A spell that creates a large storm cloud, which in turn produces rain. The large amount of rain then turns into a large wave of water and sweeps the enemy off their feet. While the targets are trapped in the water their energy will slowly be drained away. It is a good choice for a large scale battle like this. Normally a spell like this requires several users to make it hold for even a shot time, Sosuke here is one of the few people who can cast it and the ONLY one who can hold it for hours by himself." [Night] Sosuke turned to where the men were still preparing and looked down at all of them, "It is time." he whispered as he glanced back to the approaching armies. He turned back to the men, "BATTLE POSITIONS!" he shouted as the men and archers quickly made their way to their positions on the battlements. It wasn't long before the men and archers were all in their positions on the battlements of Helms Deep and the sounds of the marching armies drew closer and closer. From their positions, the contingent of men and archers looked out into the darkness which was lit by the thousands of torches being carried by the huge advancing Uruk-hai army, the light bouncing off their armour. Gamling looked up as Sosuke approached them, but Legolas didn't move nor stir even as Sosuke placed a hand on his shoulder, "Well lad, whatever luck you live by, let's hope it lasts the night." Gamling said to him as he clasped the man's shoulder as well. Above them, thunder rumbled throughout the sky and lightning lit the clouds and allowed them glimpses of the approaching Uruk-hai that were swarming towards them like harsh waves in the sea, "Your friends are with you, Sosuke." Legolas told him as he glanced back at him before looking back out at the army. "Let's hope they last the night." Gamling muttered as Mohandar appeared and took his place next to Legolas who nodded at him. Lightning flashed throughout the sky again and it began raining. From within the caves, the women and children listened to the sounds overhead, becoming frightened. Mothers drew their children close and tried to sooth the crying babies. Outside Helms Deep, an Uruk-hai leader stepped up onto a rock outcrop, while the Uruk-hai army continued to march towards the fortress. On the Deeping wall, Sosuke came to stand by Haldir and Théoden who were standing behind Gamling, Mohandar and Legolas. Haldir looked at Théoden, "They come, Théoden, in numbers and weapons far greater than our own." he said fleetingly. "Numbers do not win a battle." Legolas answered without turning around. "No...but I bet they help." whispered Gamling from next to him. Sosuke moved behind them, giving a speech to the men, archers and templars, "Some of you are thinking that you will not fight. Others; that you can not fight. They all say that, until they are out there!" he shouted to them, receiving a cheer before he began issuing out orders to the Konoha archers, "Show them no mercy! For you shall receive none!" Down on the plains, the Uruk-hai leader raised his sword and commanded his army to stop with a terrifying animalic cry. The Uruks stopped then and growled in anticipation of the upcoming battle and slaughter as the Uruk-hai leader raised his sword once more, "At my signal, unleash hell!" he shouted to the cheers of the Uruks. On the battlements, Gamling readied his axe, "Here we go laddies..." The Uruk Leader then cried out twice, startling some of the men on the battlements, which signaled for all the other Uruk-hai to start roaring and thumping their spears furiously. From inside the caves, the women and children huddled together in fear of the sound whilst back out on the battlements, Aldor, the old man next to Legolas, suddenly lost his grip on his arrow and released it prematurely, shooting an Uruk-hai in the neck. This action caused the Uruk-hai army to stop their roaring and thumping as they looked at their comrade. Sosuke looked at Aldor in shock and frustration, "Dartho!" he shouted to the Archers. (A/N: Translation: "Hold!") With a hollow groan, the Uruk that was shot collapsed to the ground. The other Uruk-hai bared their teeth and roared with anger. With a cry, the Uruk leader thrusted his weapon in the air and the Uruk-hai army started charging. Sosuke stopped by Legolas and clasped the man's shoulder, "Are you with me?" he asked quickly. Legolas placed his own hand over Sosuke's, "To the death." he answered as he released Sosuke's hand and notched an arrow to his bow. "So it begins." Théoden whispered as he watched the army charging towards them. Sosuke looked around at all the Konoha Archers on the Deeping Wall. He then spoke in their native tongue, "Tangado a chadad!" he ordered them. (A/N: Translation: "Prepare to fire!") In answer to this, the archers notched their arrows and aimed down at the army in unison. Legolas aimed his own arrow before he began shouting out some tips to them, "Faeg i-varv dîn na lanc a nu ranc!" he told them. (A/N: Translation: "Their armour is weak at the neck and beneath the arm!"). "Leithio i philinn!" Sosuke ordered them. (A/N: Translation: "Release the arrows!") The Elves did as ordered and arrows rained down on the Uruk-hai below, killing many. "Give them a volley." Théoden shouted then to Gamling who was in charge of the men. Gamling nodded and turned to the men, "Fire!" he ordered and more arrows were released, but the Uruk-hai army kept advancing, with more replacing those fallen. Sosuke turned to the Konoha Archers waiting on the ground behind the Deeping Wall, "Ribed bant!" he ordered them (A/N: Translation: "Full volley!"). Gamling was becoming impatient as he hopped from foot to foot, "Send them to me! C'mon!" The Uruk-hai's with crossbows managed to shoot several Elves from the Deeping Wall, while other Uruks started to load ladders onto the walls, pushing them up with their long spears. Sosuke's eyes widened as he noticed this, "Ladders!" he shouted as he unsheathed his katana. "Good!" Gamling shouted as he raised his axe in anticipation. "Swords! Swords!" Sosuke shouted as the Elves drew their blades in preparation for combat. The first ladders were almost reaching the walls with big, nasty Uruk Berserkers on top of them. Close hand-to-hand combat began then as the Uruk-hai climbed over the wall. Gamling killed two with a triumphant cry and turned to Legolas, "Legolas, two already!" he shouted to him while holding up two fingers. Legolas killed one before turning to Gamling and grinning at him, "I'm on seventeen!" he shouted back which wiped the grin off Gamling's face instantly. Gamling, outraged, shook his fist at the archer, "Argh! I'll have no archer outscoring me!" he shouted and turned to an Uruk that was just climbing over the wall. He swung his axe, whacking it in the groin before killing it as it fell towards the ground. Legolas fired off two arrows, one hitting an Uruk behind Gamling and the other hitting one that was going to attack Haldir, "Nineteen!" he shouted with a grin as Gamling growled back in answer. Meanwhile, Sosuke was slashing his way through several Uruk-hai's that were trying to get to in, and even managed to push down one of the ladders, but the flood of Uruk-hai's storming the Deeping Wall seemed to be unstoppable and he began to worry. He then channeled water mana and made a single handsign, "Suiton: Ja no Kuchi (Water Release: Snake's Mouth)," as a spinning column of water which will took the form of a snake with a gaping maw appeared. The snake twisted and followed its targets and swallowed them. After it has swallowed them, it turns into a river that carries the enemy away down the wall. Gamling was standing on the wall between two ladders, hacking away at the Uruk-hai as they proceeded to climb up the Deeping Wall, "Seventeen! Eighteen! Nineteen! Twenty! Twenty-one! Twenty-two!" he counted as down below on the Causeway, a group of Uruk-hai were advancing towards the gate in tortoise formation, using their broad shields to ward off any arrows or weapons that were being thrown their way. Legolas spun around as Sosuke ran passed him shouting orders at the Konoha Archers, "Causeway! Na fennas! Hado ribed! Hado!" he shouted, directing the Archers to aim at the Uruk-hai column. (A/N: Translation: "Causeway! Hurl to flow! Hurl!") The Archers aimed and released their arrows, striking the Uruk-hai that were at the side of the column and they fell off the Causeway, but the column continued advancing towards the gate. Sosuke turned in frustration and tilted his head to the side as he looked at an Uruk that was heavily bleeding, but advancing on him, Sosuke: "Would you mind telling me how it is you're still alive?" he asked it, but it just smiled horribly in answer before gurgling and falling back dead. Sosuke shook his head as he looked back down at the Causeway. Near to where Sosuke was standing, Théoden looked down at the many Uruk-hai still advancing and laughed slightly, "Is this it? Is this all you can conjure, Saruman?" he whispered to himself as he shook his head. Just as the lord was thinking this, at the bottom of the Deeping Wall, two barels containing sulfur were lodged in the sluice gate. The Uruk-hai opened a path and an Uruk-hai Berserker carrying a torch began to run towards the sluice gate. Sosuke's eyes widened as he spotted the Berserker, "Bring him down, Legolas!" he shouted sounding almost panicked. Legolas spun and shot an arrow without even aiming, hitting the Berserker in the shoulder, but the latter continued its advance on the sluice gate. Sosuke turned back to Legolas, "Kill him! KILL HIM!" he shouted as Legolas notched another arrow to his bow and took aim. Legolas released the arrow, hitting the Uruk again. It stumbled and then threw itself and the torch at the bombs. An enormous explosion set off, blowing away a large part of the wall. Rock, debris and bodies were thrown up. Sosuke was also thrown back by the force of the explosion and he landed on the ground painfully, which knocked him out. Théoden looked on in shock at the now breached Deeping Wall and the now invading Uruk-hai that were flooding through the gap. Meanwhile, the Uruks on the Causeway managed to bring a ram up to the Gate and immediately started to destroy it. Théoden, upon hearing the colliding banging of the ram on the gate, turned to his men, "Brace the Gate!" he shouted as he pointed down to the gate. Several Rohirrim warriors tried to brace the Gate from within, while others threw rocks and spears at the Uruk-hai below them, "Hold them! Stand firm!" the lord shouted, panic beginning to rise within him. Gamling turned around and almost chuckled as one of the Uruk Leaders looked down at him. The captain spoke, "I commend you courage, but I shall show you no mercy." Gamling said to it as it bared its teeth and growled at him. He ducked as the Uruk swung its club at him and retaliated by swinging his own axe and lodging it in the Uruk's middle. It fell down dead and Gamling placed his foot on its chest, pulling his axe out of its body and looked down at it in disgust. He looked up then and saw a Uruk charging at Sosuke on their path. With a war-cry, Gamling jumped down from the wall, landing on the Uruk-hai army and took them out where he was standing, "Sosuke! Argh!" he shouted to the Ranger as he soon began to become overpowered by the Uruks. Sosuke got up off the ground as Gamling was about to fall, "Gamling!" he shouted to his friend before charging and held his hand out while shouting, "FÅ«ton: Kami Oroshi! (Wind Release: Godly Wind from the Mountain)". He created a vortex of wind to blast at them. Sosuke rushed to Gamling and picked him up before he could fall, receiving a quick thanks from the captain as they both got back into the fray. At the top of the battlements, Mohandar and the Dark Templar had joined in the battle with a vengeance. Their elemental assassin katars dealt a swift death to their enemies. Mohandar from his location saw at least two hundred of the Uruks charging and trying to enter the breach. He roared to Sosuke. Sosuke seeing what was coming headed for the breach while Mohandar was above him. Mohandar went through several handseals and so did Sosuke. They roared, Sosuke: "FÅ«ton: Atsugai! (Wind Release: Pressure Damage)" Mohandar: "Katon: Zukokku! (Fire Release: Searing Migraine) Sosuke launched a tornado-like mass that is compressed until it has a very high density and is then released. The wind pressure is raised to its highest limit, and once the technique hits the target, the resulting blast swept everyone off their feet. Mohandar spits out a small fireball that erupts into a giant firestorm after making contact with a surface, causing widespread destruction to the area. Since the flames travel along the ground, and from such a wide area this is a difficult technique to evade. When both of their attacks combine, they collaborate to create a firestorm that desolated the area. The resulting heat even made them flinch for a while at their handiwork. Legolas grabbed a shield and sent it sliding across the ground. He then hopped onto it and surfed down the steps, releasing three arrows as he went, and kicked the shield to stab an Uruk-hai as he landed at the bottom. But still more and more Uruk-hai began breaking through the Gap in the Deeping Wall. Sosuke was fighting like a man possessed as several uruks surrounded him. Seeing little choice, he raised his katana into the air and screamed, "Kudakero, Kyoka Suigetsu! (Shatter, Mirror Flower Water Moon). The results was a flash and a shattering sound that erupted from his blade. After that the uruks were just standing there with glazed expressions as his illusions took hold of them. he then collected water mana and used the water from his rain to form a tsunami. He then shouted, "Suiton: SÅdai Kaisaku! (Water Release: Great Excavation)" and brought the water drilling down on the uruks. Sosuke nodded to Legolas quickly before turning to the Konoha Archers, ""To the Keep! Pull back to the Keep!" he shouted to them before he spotted Haldir who was still fighting, "Pull back to the Keep! Haldir, to the Keep!" he shouted to him, receiving a nod before he turned back. Legolas looked up in slight amusement as Gamling was being carried away by three templar, kicking and struggling as he went. Gamling looked at the ones responsible and began protesting, "What are you doing? Argh! What are you stopping for!" he asked in anger as he continued to struggle to free himself. Haldir beckoned to his men, "To the Keep" he ordered them. Haldir hacked at a few Uruk as he turned towards the gate. Suddenly and unexpectedly, he was stabbed in his arm and with a grimace, he killed the Uruk-hai and looked down at his wound in seeming disbelief. An Uruk-hai came up from behind him then unnoticed and went to slit his throat, but Legolas spotted it and shot an arrow, hitting it in the head. Haldir fell forward and as he did he looked around him only to see his kin falling among dead Uruk-hai. Sosuke looked around then and noticed Haldir falling, "HALDIR!" he shouted as he ran up the steps to Haldir's side, catching him as he collapsed. Sosuke sighed in relief as he realized his countryman was still alive. He beckoned for two Templar near to him to carry him down to the Keep. Then with a shout, he jumped onto a ladder and swung down to the ground, killing as he went. Meanwhile, the Uruk-hai at the gate were breaking through and shot at the defenders with their crossbows, "Brace the gate!" a soldier shouted as he began helping. "Hold them!" another shouted as he rushed to help also. Théoden drew his sword, "To the gate! Draw your swords!" he ordered them. Théoden and his commanders ran to the gate, which was under heavy attack. The Uruk-hai were knocking down the gate and hacking through the broken wood. A Uruk-hai managed to grab Mohandar's throat. Théoden quickly hacked of the Uruk's arm, but in return received a lance in his shoulder, blocked by his armour. Grimacing in pain, Théoden continued to stab at the Uruk until he was led away by Mohandar. "Make way!" Mohandar shouted to the soldiers before he turned to the wounded King, "We cannot hold much longer." he said to him as Sosuke and Gamling made it back into the keep to join the defenders at the gate. Théoden turned to them, "Hold them!" he shouted. Sosuke ran up and stabbed away at the Uruks through the broken gate, "How long do you need?" he asked as he stabbed another Uruk in the neck. "As long as you can give me!" Théoden shouted back in reply and Sosuke nodded. He turned to Gamling, "Gamling!" he shouted, beckoning for the captain to follow him. "Timbers! Brace the Gate" Théoden shouted out as Sosuke and Gamling slipped out a side exit to stand on a ledge just to the side of the main gate. Sosuke peeked over, seeing the large band of Uruk-hai storming the gate, "Come on! We can take 'em!" Gamling said as he too looked at them. Sosuke turned to look at him, "It's a long way." he told him. Gamling took another peek and then stepped back seemingly having an internal battle with himself. He sighed and looked at Sosuke, "Toss me." he mumbled to the Ranger. Sosuke looked down at him in confusion, "What?" he asked having not heard him due to his mumbling. Sosuke growled slightly in frustration and embarrassment, "I cannot jump the distance! You'll have to toss me!" he said louder and clearer. Sosuke nodded slowly and turned to grab the man, "Oh!" Gamling exclaimed as he stayed Sosuke's hand, "Don't tell the Elf (legolas's nickname)." he pleaded embarrassedly. Sosuke grinned slightly, "Not a word." he promised as he took a hold of him and tossed him over to the head of the Causeway and leapt over himself. Gamling let out a war-cry and began making quick work of killing the Uruks whilst behind them, on the other side of the gate, Théoden was issuing out orders to the soldiers to barricade the gate with wood and nails. Sosuke and Gamling continued to fight off the Uruk-hai just outside. Meanwhile, the Uruk-hai loaded and fired enormous hooks over the battlements. Hundreds of Uruk-hai climbed onto super-ladders as they were pulled up towards the walls, the super-ladders locked onto the edge of the battlements with their steel grips. Legolas took aim as another super-ladder was being pulled up and shot away one of the ropes. The ladder fell back onto the Uruk-hai army. At the gate the men were still trying to brace the gate as good as possible. "Hold fast the gate!" a soldier shouted. Théoden came to the gate, "Gamling! Sosuke! Get out of there!" he shouted through a crack before it was boarded up by the soldiers. Legolas dodged an arrow and then an axe as he ran to the wall of the battlements near to the gate and looked down at them. He picked up a stray rope and looked down at Gamling and Sosuke who were still hacking away at the Uruks, "Sosuke!" he shouted to them as he tossed down the rope to them. Sosuke grabbed Gaming and tied him with the rope. He then channeled wind magic and held his palm to the approaching Urulks as they were pulled up the wall by Legolas. "FÅ«ton: JÅ«ha ReppÅ« ShÅ! (Wind Release: Beast Wave Violent Wind Palm), and fired a a mass amount of wind to form a massive demonic-like claw extending from the his hand. Sosuke used that claw to smash the incoming Uruks and force them back until Legolas pulled them high enough. They reached the top and Sosuke turned to where some Beserkerss were making their way towards them, "Legolas, go ahead! I will handle this rabble." he told him as he raised his sword in a fighting stance. he then swung it and launched several FÅ«ton: JÅ«ha ShÅ at them. Meanwhile more and more Uruk-hai were able to storm the outer-wall of the Keep. "Pull everybody back! Pull them back!" Théoden shouted as the wind Sosuke was casting on top of the battlements seemed to explode across the sky causing the clouds to encircle over the Uruks and Rohirrim. "Fall back! Fall back!" Mohandar shouted to the soldiers as the Uruks began entering the castle. "They've broken through! The castle is breached. Retreat!" Théoden shouted to his men. "Hurry! Inside! Get them inside!" Sosuke shouted to Legolas and Gamling. Legolas fired two arrows at two approaching Beserkers, killing them and dodged an axe tossed at him from another and retaliated with an arrow, hitting the it between the eyes causing him to fall down dead. Sosuketurned to him as the Elf made to run back up onto the battlements, "Legolas! What are you doing! Fly!" Sosuke shouted to him. They were then interrupted when Legolas was knocked unconscious as Sosuke was dragged back into the keep. [20 Minutes Later] Sosuke and Gamling stealthily made their way outside, looking for a way to avoid the multiple Orcs and Uruks outside on the Battlements. Sosuke pushed Gamling back into a wall as a group of Orcs passed by, their weapons at the ready for any stragglers still on the Battlements. They ran passed them and up some stairs before quickly ducking behind a wall as one of the Uruk leaders looked up upon hearing their footsteps before shaking his head and looking away. He looked out onto the Battlements and his heart almost broke at the grounds in front of his eyes. They were all dead. The many mutilated bodies was an exclamation mark on everything that had led to this point. Sosuke sighed as he looked above him to the sky. The storm seemed to lose its frenzy as his Uramiame faded. The ragged clouds gave way to the stars above. "What if he has fallen, Sosuke?" Gamling asked the reaper in a whisper. Sosuke looked at the man as if he had grown two more heads and had begun singing in Elvish, "Legolas has laughed death in the face far too many times for him to stop now. Men like him do not die in places like this." Sosuke said firmly before pointing over to where he could see movement around the wall they were hiding behind. Sosuke stealthily shot a FÅ«ton: JÅ«ha ShÅ at the Uruk on the Battlements, and then the rather confused Orc that had been with him fell quickly after. The two companions ran out of their hiding position and over to where the person was moving. It was not Legolas, but one of the templar who had fought alongside the man at one point in the battle. Gamling let out a slight huff, earning him a sideways glance from Sosuke, "What, lad. I thought it was that blasted Elf! Making us worry like this!" he said as quietly as he could so as not to draw attention, but also loud enough to emphasize that he was feeling bitter towards Legolas. Sosuke looked up at him and smirked slightly, "You are worried about him?" he asked as he shook the soldier. Gamling looked scandalized, "Of course not!" he almost shouted, but thankfully didn't. Sosuke chuckled quietly before turning to the templar that was coming too, "What is your name?" he asked the soldier whom was trying to focus. The soldier groaned, "Hetios. My name is Hetios." he croaked. Sosuke nodded and untied a water bottle from his belt. He gently tilted Hetios' head back and gave him some water, "You bore a few cuts, but you are still whole." Sosuke informed him as he reached out a hand to help the soldier to his feet, "Well, can you stand?" Sosuke asked him. "Yes, sir." Hetios answered as he took Sosuke's outstretched hand and allowed himself to be pulled to his feet. Sosuke nodded in the direction of the Keep, "Go now to the Keep with stealth in mind. There are many enemies still lurking." he informed him to which he received a nod and Hetios carefully walked away in the direction given. "Do you think he'll make it?" Gamling asked him quietly after Hetios was around the corner and out of sight. "He is not stupid." Sosuke answered before turning around to search the Battlements. Something silver caught his eyes in the middle of multiple bodies strewn everywhere from where the moon was hitting it. It was hair, this much he knew and he instantly made his way over towards the archer lying face down on the ground. Sosuke reached down and turned the archer over, revealing it to be Legolas after all, only no air escaped his lips and there was no other movement to indicate that he was still alive. "Is he...?" Gamling trailed off as tears came to his eyes, only he would never ever admit he had or would ever cry because the fool had died. "I do not know." he answered as he made to lift the archer over his shoulder and carry him. Sosuke nodded to him, "If he wakes up he is not going to be a happy one." Sosuke whispered as he grabbed Legolas. Gamling nodded in agreement, "Best stop him from going on a killing spree, eh?" They carried the archer in to the gasps of many who thought he was dead, Haldir was one of those and he closed his eyes in sorrow as Sosuke and Gamling placed Legolas down on one of the free cots that were placed around the Keep. Sosuke smacked Haldir's head and berated him for thinking his friend dead so easily. [5 Minuts later] Sosuke looked out one of the cracks of the boarded windows to see banners of the White Hand flying from the Battlements. The Hornburg was overrun with Uruk-hai and Orcs scouting the areas. He sighed and turned towards the cot Legolas was still lying on and his stillness struck fear into him as Théoden walked over, "The fortress is taken. It is over." the lord said, his tone defeated. Sosuke picked up a table with Gamling's help and carried it over towards the door to shore it up, "You said this fortress would never fall while your men defend it! They still defend it! They have died defending it!" he answered as he dropped the table causing Gamling to strain under its weight. In the Glittering Caves, the women and children were crying in fear as they heard the battering ram banging on the door. "They are breaking in!" one woman cried. "They're past the door!" came another who was holding onto her daughter. Sosuke frowned, "Is there no other way for the women and children to get out of the caves?" he asked only to receive no answer, "Is there no other way?" he asked again, more firmly this time. Gamling sighed and pushed himself off the ground, "There is one passage. It leads into the mountains. But they will not get far. The Uruk-hai are too many." he answered as he looked towards the barricaded door. Sosuke nodded, "Send word for the women and children to make for the mountain pass. And barricade the entrance." he suggested quickly as he walked over to Théoden who was holding his head in his hands. Théoden shook his head sadly, "So much death." he whispered before looking up at Sosuke, "What can men do against such reckless hate?" he asked. Sosuke paused before answering, "Ride out with me. Ride out and meet them." he said raising himself to his full height. Théoden looked a him, a light of determination shining in his eyes, "For death and glory." he answered. Sosuke nodded, "For Rohan. For your people." Sosuke stated as he looked over towards Legolas' cot to see the archer getting up and muttering under his breath and a smile lit up his face. Legolas pushed himself into a sitting position and looked over at Sosuke before standing and gathering his effects and making his way over to them, "What is happening?" the archer asked quietly. Gamling chuckled, "The sun is rising." he answered as Legolas looked over at him and rolled his eyes. "I am aware of that, bufoon." Legolas answered before grinning and clapping a hand to the man's shoulder. Sosuke grinned slightly before he looked up at a window to see faint light streaming through and it was then that he recalled Gandalf's parting words that Eowen told him, "Look to my coming at first light on the fifth day. At dawn, look to the east." Sosuke's smile widened as he looks towards Legolas and Gamling who nodded in remembrance of what Gandalf had said. Théoden stands up from his chair, "Yes. Yes! The Horn of Helm Hammerhand shall sound in the deep one last time!" he shouted as Sosuke nodded, determination clear in both pairs of eyes. Gamling raised his axe in cheer, "Yes!" he shouted as he made his way quickly up the steps to the Horn of Helm Hammerhand. Sosuke whistled and Snowsong walked out from her cot. He mounted her and petted his friend. Théoden placed a hand on Sosuke's shoulder, "Let this be the hour when we draw swords together. Fell deeds awake. Now for wrath! Now for ruin! And a red dawn!" Théoden shouted before mounting his horse and putting his helmet on. The sound of the Horn rumbled throughout Helm's Deep as Gamling blew it with gusto, "FORTH EORLINGAS!" Théoden shouted as he lead the charge out of the Keep and into the Hornburg, slashing away at the Uruk-hai as they went. WORLDS END BY FLOW Sosuke and Mohandar screamed together, "For Aiur!". Without pause, they stormed the gates and went down the Causeway, right into the column of awaiting Uruk-hai. In the midst of the battle, Sosuke turned and looked East to the top of a steep hill where a White Rider was waiting against the rising sun, "Gandalf." the man whispered before grinning and getting back into the fray. Up on the hill, Gandalf the White watched the battle below, "Théoden King stands alone." he said as he raised his staff slightly. Éomer came up from behind him on a dark brown horse and took his place beside the wizard, "Not alone." he answered before raising his hand, "Rohirrim!" he shouted and hundreds of riders began moving into place behind Éomer. Théoden, upon hearing the shout, turned towards the East, "Éomer!" he shouted and grinned with relief upon seeing his Nephew. Éomer nodded, "To the King!" he shouted as he and Gandalf lead the Rohirrim in a charge down the slope. Half of the Uruk-hai army turned to face the challenge, bearing their spears down towards the riders. As the Rohirrim and Gandalf drew nearer, Gandalf raised his staff just as the sun rose behind them causing a blinding light like a beam to shoot out of his staff, momentarily blinding the Uruk-hai who were now vulnerable as they raised their hands and spears to shield their eyes. The riders reached the end of the slope and crashed right into the Uruk-hai and engaged them in battle... Kyoka Suigetsu glowed with mighty blue light as Sosuke lead the charge to supplement the reinforcemence. Snowsong's roaring and presence scared the Uruks and brought courage to their comrades. Sosuke used one hand to make signs and collected the water moisture in the air. He formed them into one thousand long needles and directed the at the enemy. Sosuke: "Sensatsu SuishÅ! (Thousand Flying Water Needles of Death) Mohandar and the remaining templar also joined the spellcasting with gusto. he remaining Uruk-hai at Helm's Deep were trying to escape the wrath of the Rohirrim and flee but they were shown no quarter. Sosuke urged Snowsong after them as she also snapped and bit and clawed any nearby uruks. Sosuke gathered more water mana and spoke, "Suiton: Mugensame (Water Release: Infinite Sharks). He releases an orb of water that releases countless water sharks to strike the enemy before causing a massive implosion. It...was done... [Ten Minutes later] Back in the castle, the women and children welcomed the men as they returned. Éowyn ran up to Sosuke and embraced him, crying tears of relief as seeing that he was okay before she looked around at his fellow comrades in arms. Outside of Helm's deep, a Rohan soldier dropped a dead Orc and looked down at it in disgust as Legolas made his way towards Gamling who was sitting quite smugly on a dead Uruk-hai, smoking his pipe. Legolas stopped in front of him and eyed the dead Uruk-hai before looking at his bow thoughtfully, "Final count...forty-two." he said with a triumphant smirk. Gamling looked back at him in amusement as he blew out some smoke, making rings in the air that floated towards Legolas, "Forty-two? Oh, that's not bad for a pointy-eared Elf Archer. I myself am sitting pretty on forty-three." he replied with a chuckle. Gamling flinched as Legolas' face darkened and he quickly notched an arrow, shooting it and it landed in the Uruk-hai, the arrow sticking out between Gamling's legs. Legolas smirked slightly, "Forty-three." he said, still smirking at the shocked captain. Gamling looked from the arrow lodged in the Uruk-hai between his legs to Legolas in disbelief, "He was already dead." Gamling stated matter-of-factly. Legolas frowned, but the smirk remained, "He was twitching." he argued as he gestured to the Uruk-hai. "He was twitching because he's got my axe embedded in his nervous system!" Gamling shouted as he moved his axe which caused the dead Uruk-hai's body to move as well. Back in the keep, Gandalf embraced Sosuke has he acknowledged the young master. He was pleased to hear about Zeratul still being alive and other news. Mohandar took the old wizard aside to speak with him about the prelate. Théoden grinned like a loon and clasped Sosuke's shoulder and spoke, Théoden: "I told you that your strength would make the difference." Sosuke: "It was not just my power, but the courage and unyielding inner strength of the men of Rohan." Théoden: "Come my lad, we must celebrate!" Sosuke: "You will honour our agreement?" Théoden: "Yes, yes. I will tell you later. Do not worry, for I make a promise I will keep it!" Sosuke could not help the smile on his face as Éowyn grabbed his arm and dragged him along with the others to celebrate. Snowsong trotted along his side in ammusement at her master's plight. They won. They had actually won! _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ OOC: Got permission from Ken before posting.

[Tavern] Fenris was up and was preparing to go get some breakfast when Vivian came running up to the room. Vivian: "We have to get out of here, Now. I'll explain it all later. But we need to leave right now." Fenris just nodded and pulled on his armor and rest of his clothes, then checking he hadn't dropped anything. Once finished he turned to see Vivian already at the door. Fenris: If were in a hurry... He walked and opened the window, below the window were the stables. Fenris: We go from here. He then jumped down landing safely with the aid of his wind magic. He then gestured at Vivian who jumped after him. Fenris caught her easily and put her down, the two of them walked to the stables, saddled the horses and began riding towards the East. After they had travelled a while and the town had faded from sight Fenris turned to Vivian. Fenris: So... what happened back there? |

'Aeon' | Academy 'Aeon' considered Kenji's offer before answering any of his questions. "I personally use my magic in a way that serves me best" 'Aeon' replied, pausing briefly before he continued "I am not someone who can decide what is good for all, so I consider myself and those around me." 'Aeon' stopped talking and took a look at both Kenji and Vincent before he asked his next question. "So I'm curious now. Have you found an immense power? If so how do you plan to use it?" he asked Kenji, wanting to know what his new 'friend' had to say about it. |

@Roxas-"Sons of Gondor! Of Rohan! My brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me! A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship. But it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the age of Men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand! Men of the West!" "Arise! Arise, riders of Théoden! Spears shall be shaken, shields shall be splintered - a sword day, a red day, ere the sun rises! Ride now! Ride now! Ride! Ride to ruin, and the world's ending! Forth Éorlingas!" ________________________________________________________________________________ [Kenji Kurayami|Academy] "I have always had immense power,Mr.Aeon." he answered Aeon with a light smile on his face.He then sighed and leaned back on his chair. "It's just that the people don't usually see what I do with my power." he said as he closed his eyes once more and remembered hard times.Hard cruel times that had come to pass. "A wise man once told me 'The end justifies the means',Mr.Aeon.However I don't think people usually see the light at the end of the dark tunnel." "On to your other question.How do I plan to use it?" he said as he breathed deep "I plan to correct that which was made into a big mistake." "And I need both of your help to do it.That is why I am inviting you both into my little group.We will be the people who will move in the shadows." ![]() |

[Vivian][On the Road] After awhile on the road, Fenris spoke up and asked what had happened. Vivian gestured for him to wait; Vivian was trying her best to keep her magic concentrated on the clone in the town. She knew that keeping the clone there from so far away was pushing herself to her limits, but surprisingly she didn't feel too tired. In the magical respect that is, Vivian thought, Physically though, this is tiring me out. When Vivian thought they were far enough, she made the clone disappear. She hoped that they were far enough that Matis and Oscar would have a hard time following them, and turned to Fenris. "Well, before you woke up I went down the the stables to check on the horses," Vivian said, "And I saw them. The trackers my father sent after us, Matis and his apprentice Oscar. But they're not just ordinary ones, they can tune in on any magical aura as long as they've felt it before somehow. And mine is exactly the same as my father's, so as long as they know his and know where it's going to be, they'll be able to find me easily." When she was done explaining, Vivian sighed. Things get more and more complicated by the minute, Vivian thought, And I know it wasn't my father who really sent those men after us. It had to be my mother, worrying about me since I said we were only going on a day trip. I bet that my father told her that I would be fine back with that confusion at the academy, so I guess she took his word back then and didn't worry about us... But now... Well, now there's no use worrying about it since it already happened. They traveled a bit further, and soon came to the edge of a forest, where Vivian stopped. "Could we have something to eat now?" Vivian asked as she got off of Fate, "I know I'll probably throw it back up later on, but I haven't had anything to eat yet today." Vivian led the horses into the shade of the trees, then sat down and started to eat half a loaf of the bread she had packed. She turned to Fenris and gave the other half of the loaf to him. "You should have something too." Vivian said. ![]() |

Anke Faustus l Black Ops HQ Anke kept her eyes even and cool. She had no idea how much information this guy had on her. She didn't know why she was here, so her only option was to act cool. “Well, first let me start off by properly introducing myself. The name Toorop Hunter is of course a fake name I gave you. I am Lieutenant Colonel Talisman Inugami and, as it would appear, I am a Black Op along with my partner Kota. And I don’t think I have a strong relation to you or your family. Really, I’m just more interested with you. After all, you out of any of your friends raised more questions for me to find out, but I’ll get to those some other day.†Anke raised an eyebrow at this. She had figured the guy had given her a fake name originally, but why did she interest him. Compared to the rest of her friends she was by far the weakest physically. Though she had to admit her magic was particularly unique, but was this guy really interested in necromancy? It seemed strange to find someone who didn't turn and run from the mention of the cursed practice. Not to mention if he was interested in her abilities, it would mean he would have to have some inkling of an idea of what she can do. Did he know she could literally immobilize every troop in the base if things didn't go the way she wanted them to? “From what I have here you’re wanted on a number of crimes. Those are for terrorism, the destruction and murder of an entire village in the north, and the slaughter of forty-five mercenaries also in the north. Now, that last one I can strike from the list cause’ I was involved. But this list is very detailed; everything done in the west was put together with multiple soldiers both regular and Special Forces, some of it is also my work. Now everything put together in the north is mostly my work from what I saw and what I found. Now, I wasn’t around for the attack on the village and its residents, so higher-ups assume that it was done by your group and so do I.†Anke scoffed at this. They were wanted for the murder of those villagers. She hadn't left a magical mark on a single one of those people, so how did her name end up on that list. Alexanderson had to be behind this somehow. They had not killed those people. They were already dead when they got there, military involvement or not. All they would have to do is compare the dates. The rigger mortise would set in after the magic was dispelled and continued on as if nothing had happened. Easy tests would show that those villagers had been dead for hours, if not days, before Anke had gotten a hold of them. It would be hard, however, to convince the military to run said tests. So she buried her arguments in her mind and listened as Taislman continued. “Before all this even happened, I was planning to go back home, far in the east. But then I was assigned to a sweeper mission. I could have denied it and it would have been passed on to someone else, but I took the job instead, my mistake. But I failed that assignment so it doesn’t matter. Now, to why I called you here. Yes, we do have your brother; he is sitting in chains connected to a wall in a solitary confinement cell somewhere in this base. I’m sure you were expecting him to be here but that’s not possible.†Anke's eyes widened at the mention of her brother. How had he gotten involved in all this anyway. She had known that he was here, but why did they have him anyway. What had he done? As far as she knew her brother had been wise enough to just go along with whatever went down at the Academy after they left. “We can’t take prisoners from their cells unless we have proper reason, which we don’t.†Kota stepped in. “Solitary confinements are especially difficult to deal with. Your brother wasn’t on any of the records. Theoretically speaking, your brother is a ghost sitting in a cell. The military loves their paperwork, hence why Talisman has so many files in his desk and yet your brother was difficult to track down.†Anke wondered how much of a time the military had tracking her down once she changed bodies, yet they had been able to do it. Possibly because she had bothered to treat Tailsman. “That’s right, now this leads me to this file which I think you’ll find rather interesting. Now this file is everything the military put together and none of it is my work; skipping the details this is what the military sees you as and they still have no idea where you guys are. Not expecting it but be thankful for what I’m doing.†Talisman reached into the top drawer of his desk and pulled out a similar looking file to the one Talisman showed Anke, but this one had had another picture of Anke; it was her current body. He cleared a file off his desk and laid down the new file. Talisman opened it up and spread out the pictures and a capsules of medication that were stored inside. Anke stared wide eyed at the new file. Had they figured it out? They only had a picture of her, and it wasn't ever her only an animation of another body with her soul and memories. “During the past week I traveled north to your home and thoroughly searched the rooms .This file contains all the information that I’ve collected about you while at the same time trying to track your brother. That new body you’re currently in which probably explains this drawn picture of a magic circle that’s also on the floor in your home’s dungeon. Which I have to add; you should have hidden you real body in a better location; after we split up, I came to a point deciding whether or not I should kill your real body to a return with something accomplished. But I felt that it wasn’t the right thing to do. And this medication is still unexplained but I’ll ask another time. Hm... You know, when you think about. None of this would have ever happened if you and your friends would have listened and done the dumb escort assignment like Alexanderson told you to. I don’t think any of us would’ve been in this mess if you did.†Anke was thankful that he hadn't killed her original body. She knew that hiding it would have been difficult, but she hadn't been expecting someone to be able to infiltrate that far into the Faustus's secret dungeons. As for the medicine, they didn't know about that, so they didn't know about her condition. “Alright, I explained all this so you can further understand the situation you’re in. This leads up to what I’m about to offer. I would like to strike a deal with you. Now I would like to hear what you think about everything I’ve just told you before explaining the deal. I’ve been sitting here talking the most and I would at least like to hear your side of it. Once I’ve heard you side I’ll explain my proposal.†Anke kept here eyes even with Tailsman's she had been waiting for this, and she gave the officer standing in front of her a small smile before she started to speak. "I think it is ludicrous. I never murdered anyone. I did help my friends defend themselves against the Knightmares, but recently our group split apart. The people responsible for the more recent massacre are probably out doing something stupid that I have nothing to do with, and no knowledge of. As for the villagers. They had already been killed when they got there, and animated by another necromancer. I think it may have been my brother, but he wouldn't have agreed to that without some kind of horrible coaxing. I would like to say that Alexanderson is not as innocent or noble as you might have thought. I do realize, however, that my arguments mean nothing to a military that has evidence against me. Therefore I will adhere to your terms and conditions, so long as me, my brother, Fenris and Vivian Storm caller go free of charges and get a clean record." She reached onto the desk and picked up one of the pills. "These, I can go ahead and tell you are strictly medicinal. They keep my heart pumping when it so often threatens to stop working." She looked at Tailsman and smiled before waiting for him to respond. |

[Academy] Vincent listened as the two spoke. Kenji was attempting to convince Aeon to join his cause, but Vincent was still unsure if he wanted to join. 'By the way he's talking, whatever he's up to is big. Putting aside the fact that I don't trust him or like what he's saying, do I really want to get involved with this stuff again? It was bad enough when I decided to tag along with the others in their fight against the military, but now there's some other shady guy who wants me to take part in something bigger than that. I wanted to be done with all of it.' Vincent crossed his arms and decided to ask one final question. He was getting tired of the long talk and there were several things he wanted to attend to. "I can understand 'Aeon', but why exactly do you want me to take part in this? I'm not a magician after all, I'm just a swordsman. Also, if you haven't already noticed, I don't care much for you or whatever it is you are trying to do. So why even bother trying to recruit me?" |

[Sosuke Aizen][The Variant Road] A roar pierced through the day as Snowsong dashed on the road. Sosuke was riding his familiar and urging her on. Behind him and at his sides was Legolas, Gamling and Éomer on horses. The four of them were on burrowed time as they urged their rides harder. It has been about two days since the Battle of Helms Deep. As Sosuke and Snowsong moved, any others they passed stared at the frostsaber in curiosity. Most of the time they were alone on the road. Eventually, they spotted two figures under a tree. A man and a woman were resting under the tree as the four of them passed. Noting them as nothing important, Sosuke and his squad passed by them. However...the very second that Sosuke passed them, his eyes and the couples met. Time slowed down as Sosuke looked at them; a man with a warhammer by his side(Fenris) and a tired looking woman(Vivian). The second their eyes met, was when time seemed to slow down. Eventually, he passed them and continued his way without incident. However as he rode on he felt a chill down his back and thought, 'Just now...what was that abnormal feeling...it felt like something very important just happened...but what could it be?' His thoughts eventually drifted to the events of two days ago. [Flashback] As Théoden looked over at his people slowly making his way out of Helms Deep he felt someone next to him. Turning his head, he saw Sosuke on top on Snowsong looking at him. Théoden: "I now honor our bargain. Hamunaptra is located to the east of Rohan. To reach it, you must first take the Variant Road. The road diverges to the East of the world and to Southeast as well. Take the southeast path and you will reach the Desert of Skulls. From there seek the obelisk of light, it is a monument built by my ancestors. It is also the key to finding Hamunaptra. During the full moon in two nights from now, the moonlight will pass through the obelisk and create a road bathed in light that pierces the desert. Go through the road as fast as you can. You must reach its end by dawn. At first sunlight, the city of the dead will be revealed." Sosuke bowed his head and turned Snowsong to start his journey. His path was blocked by Legolas, Gamling and Éomer on their horses. Before Sosuke could say anything Gamling spoke, Gamling: "Don't bother, we're coming with you laddie." Legolas: "We'll help you out while you're still in the South." Éomer: "For defending my lord and our people, it is the least I can do to help you to find what you seek." Sosuke smirked: "Fine then, just don't get left behind." As they were moving out, Mohandar and Haldir came up to them. Haldir: "Well I guees this is goodbye?" Sosuke: "Not goodbye, just until we meet again." Mohandar: "We will be heading back to Konoha and Air with whats left of our forces. Brother, I have a message to pass to you from the Prelate." Sosuke: "Speak freely brother." Mohandar: "The prelate wants you back in Aiur as soon as you can. According to him, we've delayed things for too long. We need to do the shadow walk." Sosuke: "Inform Master Zeratul that I do not know when, but hopefully I'll be able to get to the Citatedel as soon as I can." Mohandar: "Will do. Adun Toredas." Sosuke: "Adun Toredas." [Flashback End] Shaking his heads from his thoughts, Sosuke eventually saw the fork in the path and Éomer shouted, Éomer: "The right road! The left goes to the East. Our destination is on the right!" Gamling: "Then what are we bloody waiting for?" [Night] They eventually reached the obelisk and took some time to rest and take as much sleep they needed. Eventually, the sun fell and the moon rose. the very second it did, the obelisk released a ray of light in a straight path. The four men urged their rides onwards in a frenzy. the rode like madmen through the light's guidance. Sosuke: "FLY! FLY WITH ALL YOU HAVE!" [Several Hours Later] Their eyes were dropping and even their steeds were getting tired, but eventually they reached the end of the path. They waited as dawn came. Once the sun rose, before their very eyes, a city appeared. They rode as fast as they could towards it. Finally they had reached Hamunaptra! [Hamunaptra][Seven hours Later] The first thing they did after entering the city was set up camp and get some sleep. Several hours of rest later and they were good to go. Gamling and Éomer lit some torches as they entered into the main tomb complex. The entire tomb was one giant booby trap. They had to dodge unexpected surprises at every turn. Sosuke had to avoid a falling ceiling, Éomer used his shield to block poison darts from the walls, Legolas got trapped in a hidden room and Gamling nearly fell into a spiked pit. Eventually, they reached the tombs' heart. Looking around in wonder they spread out, Gamling grumbled: "I hope whatever you are looking for is worth this ridiculous maze." Sosuke: "It is crucial. Spread out and find anything that looks different from the normal ancient language of Rohan." Gamling: "I would never thought that I would see this place, the past lords of my people were once buried here. However, those whose hearts were truly wicked also were placed here..." Legolas: "Over here!" Sosuke and the others rushed to the elf who was looking at a inscription of an unknown tongue. There were several carvings that Sosuke recognized easily, Sosuke: "Excellent job, Legolas! We've found it! I just need to get what I need and we'll be on our way." A cold and mocking voice appeared in the room as it spoke and sent chills down everyone's back, ???: "Leave? Why you just got here, I'm sorry to say that this is your final destination." The four men turned around to see a horrifying sight behind them.... ![]() |

Ooc: Okay, was wondering would it be possible to do a timeskip of 6 months, after Anke, Inugami, Kenji, Jonathon and Kingepyon have finished their respective meetings? [On the road] Fenris took the half of bread Vivian offered. Fenris: Thank you, my lady. He grinned at her and then climbed into the tree she was leaning against. He found a fairly comfortable position against the tree and started eating the bread. The wolves hadn't returned yet, but then again he hadn't really expected them to. The plant he needed was uncommon in the North and quite rare anywhere else. But he couldn't do anything about it, so he would need to focus on matters at hand. Fenris: Trackers... who can sense the magical aura of a person... tricky people to run away from. He finished the bread and looked down on Vivian. Fenris: We need to see if we can figure something out and after the horses have rested a while longer I think we should get going. That way we'll at least stay ahead of them. |

[Vivian][On the Road] As soon as the horses had rested enough, Vivian and Fenris continued traveling to the East. They only stopped twice, and both times was for Vivian to throw up. They passed through a small town on their way to the East, and they saw another small town in the distance a little bit before sunset. "What do you think, should we stop there for the night?" Vivian asked, "I don't think we'll find another town around for awhile." Vivian didn't mind sleeping out of town, but it was much easier to hide in a town. This way my aura can be covered up a certain extent by the magical auras of others, Vivian thought, But then again... Soon enough it'll be hard for the two of us to even pass through a town, when it's more noticeable that I'm pregnant... That will definitely pose some problems for us in the near future... Vivian tried to shake off the thought, that was going to be in the future and she had to worry about the problems at hand, like how Matis and Oscar were on their trail. As they came into town, Vivian could see it was a very small town, smaller than it had looked at a distance. "This town is even smaller than the one we went through earlier," Vivian said, "Well, I just hope we can find somewhere to stay for the night." ![]() |

@Fenris-Why not make it 8 months? Vivian will not be able to fight is her character is 6 months pregnant. @All-Kindly finish up your characters story and those who still have to submit a summary,please do so while I finish making chapter 2 this week.Thank you. __________________________________________________________________________________ [Kenji Kurayami|Academy] Kenji merely sighed.He supposed it was because he's already tired from talking so long. "Because this work needs more swordsmen,Mr.Vincent.I need the balance of blade and spell." he said simply and he stood up. "The hour is late.My servants will take you to rooms if you are interested in staying for a while.After all,being in the eye of the storm is the safest place." Kenji said as he bowed to them both and started to walk away. "Oh yes..please think about my offer both of you.I am expecting positive answers.A good night to both of you." he said as he talked to the two servants at the door,instructing them to let the two guests do as they please and show them to their rooms if necessary. ![]() |

Ooc: Kenji, after having a chat with Toyumi we concluded that the timeskip should be 7 months, if it's okay with you and the rest? [Small town near the border] Vivian: "Well, I just hope we can find somewhere to stay for the night." Fenris had noticed the sign ahead, it was another tavern, but it was smaller than the one they had been last night, no big surprise there. They dismounted the horses and took them to the stables. They then walked to the door of the tavern. Fenris: It's quiet... well let's see. He opened the door and stepped into te tavern, it was quite dim as the fireplace had gone down into embers and there was no other light. He noticed the old man sitting next to the fireplace prodding the embers to the back of it. Fenris: Excuse me? The old man turned to Fenris. Old man: Yes, what do you want? Fenris: I was looking for a place to stay, for the two of us... Old man: You came just in time, I was about to close for the day, so what'll it be? Fenris and the old man started talking about their stay there and soon reached a agreement. Fenris handed a few coins to the old man who nodded. Old man: Your room is upstairs first door, I'll lock the door for the night, but you can leave through the backdoor in the morning if you're in a hurry, it's locked from the inside, Fenris: Thank you. The old man walked to the door and turned back to face them. Old man: Oh yes, one more thing... Fenris turned to the old man who had a kniwing grin on his face, Old man: You're the only guests here tonight... With that the old man closed the door and they could hear a key turning in the lock. Fenris was smiling at the old man's words. Fenris: Let's go to our room then. |

(Time skip doesn't bother me. I'm waiting on something for Ken at the moment, but either way it won't affect my character in any major way.) [Academy] Vincent waited until the man had left before pushing the food away and leaning back in his chair, putting his feet up on the table and turning to 'Aeon'. "Well? What are you going to do? He buttered you up rather well, so he must really want your help." |

@ken - I've wrapped things up with this post. I'll send you a summary later today. I'm ready for chapter 2 now. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [Sosuke Aizen][Hamunaptra - Center Tomb][Morning] The thing before them was probably human once in its life but now it became something else. It resembles a skeleton with a chill blue glow emanating from within its bones. It was dressed in flowing robes and floating above the ground. It also seemed to have a crown of sorts at it smiled menacingly at them. Gamling: "Mommy..." ???: "My, my, my. It has been quite some time since I had guests here. I did not even have time to make some...preparations..." The creatures mocking voice chilled them as it looked humored by them. Éomer: "Pre-preparation?" ???: "Oh you know, the usual: torture, mutilation, and eventually ritual sacrifice. Standard procedure of course." Legolas: "You-You're Kel'Thuzard!" Gamling: "Who?" Legolas: "Kel'Thuzard. The man whom was the most trusted adviser and servant of the first lord of Rohan. It was said that he was granted the honor of being buried with his lord in this tomb of kings." Éomer: "But that story is centuries ago!" Kel'Thuzard: "Yes, staying alone in this tomb does get boring after some time. Even the occasional grave-robber does not come by that often. You have no idea how boring it is!" Sosuke looked dumbfounded at Kel'Thuzards's rant: "You were not put here willingly were you?" Kel'Thuzard gave a sigh of sorts: "Not really. Once my lord died, the more annoying and scrupulous members of his council decided to do away with me as well. That way they could manipulate the next heir easily. So they captured me and informed everyone that I was being given the 'honor' to join my lord as well. The used a ritual to bind my soul to this tomb. As the centuries passed, I eventually became what you see before you." Sosuke: "A lich..." Kel'Thuzard: "Indeed. You seem like an intelligent individual, tell me.. What are you doing all the way here?" Sosuke: "I'm here looking for a piece of the prophecy of chaos. Then we'll be on our way." Kel'Thuzard: "Ah that, I'm afraid that there are some slight complications to your plan." Gamling: "What complications?" Kel'Thuzard: "The kind that forces me to kill you all before you can leave." Gamling: "Oh how eomderful." Kel'thuzard: "Sad but necessary. I am really sorry you know. I actually liked you lot the most of all the others I've killed." Legolas: "Cant we compromise? Éomer here is one of your lord's decedents. Surely he can free you?" Kel'Thuzard: "It does not work that way. I'm sorry" With that Kel'Thuzard launched a bolt of chilling frost at them. Sosuke had already moved and use a spell, "Suiton: Suijinheki (Water Release: Water Encampment Wall)." A a wall of water is blown out from the mouth, and is raised from below with tremendous might. The water is blown out in the form of a circle around and surrounds them. It blocks the Frost bolt which froze it. Kel'Thuzard: "Not bad, how about this!" The lichs' hands glowed blue and he he waved them in a strange pattern. The ground beneath them shook as several skeletons rose up. The held several different weapons and started to attack the party. The four men immediately were distracted as they tried to beat them back. Legolas tried to shoot one with an arrow but as there was no flesh it did not work. Gamling: "Arrows are no good here, Elf! Put your back into it." The captain's axe was a perfect weapon for crushing the skeletons. Sosuke himself fought spell with spell against the undead lich. Kel'thuzard's powerful ice and darkness spells were a deadly threat. When Kel'Thuzard attempted a Detonate Man spell, Sosuke raised Kyoka Suigetsu infront of him. He then spoke, "Tenran! (Orchid Sky)." The katana spun by itself in a several times in the air before it stopped and Sosuke grabbed it. A widening tornado like blast erupted from it sending the lich reeling. Sosuke then channeled wind mana into his mouth and blew a cloud of dust that was thick enough to block everyones vision, "SenpÅ: FÅ«ton Sunabokori (Sage Art: Wind Release Dust Cloud)." Using the cover he created, Sosuke ran up to Kel'Thuzard and created a Kaze no Yaiba (Blade of Wind) in his left hand. Then appeared in front of Kel'thuzard and it it and his katana criss-crossing at his neck. When the dust settled, the lich had been incapacitated and all of his summoned skeletons were destroyed. Kel'Thuzard: "I yield. *looks at Éomer* Young warrior who bears the blood of my master, what would you have of me?" Éomer looks confused: "I thought that you did not serve me?" Kel'Thuzard: 'I can only serve and be freed by the blood of Rohan only if I am defeated. Now that it is done, my fate is yours." Sosuke: "Éomer wait! I have an idea *loos at the lich* Kel'Thuzard, tell me, how would you like to see the world?" Everyone in the room looked and gaped at Sosuke as if he had striped naked and started proclaiming himself as the King of Purple. Gamling: "Laddie, are you sure that all that magic you use hasn't addled your brain or something?" Legolas: "What are you getting at Sosuke?" Sosuke: "Ke'Thuzard here has been trapped in this darkness and shadow for centuries. Now he has no purpose as well. Éomer, release him to me. He can travel with me." Éomer: "I can honestly say that I have no idea what to do. Your idea has merit but I don't have the authority to do it. We need to speak with Lord Theoden about this." Kel'Thuzard: "Noble warrior, why would you do something so wonderful for me?" Sosuke: "Because I know the pain and suffocating feeling of being alone. That feeling loneliness just eats someone up from the inside don't it?" Kel'Thuzard: "I will serve you loyally if you will have me. *bows deeply*" Sosuke: "Raise your head old one, I have no need for servants. *the lich looks nervously at Sosuke* On the other hand, another friend is most welcome." Everyone looked stunned at Sosuke's declaration but none most so then the lich himself. Legolas and Gamling shared a grin at their friend's kindness. Éomer shook his head wearily at the man before him whom accepted a lich willingly as a friend. Kel'Thuzard floated once again with new vigour as he stood before Sosuke. Sosuke: "One more thing, the name is Sosuke Aizen" Sosuke nodded towards him and turned around to the runic symbols from earlier. He raised his hand and channeled his magic, just like at the Tomb of Sargeras, the hall was erupted in a blight light and once cleared another Ihan crystal appeared in his hand. Sosuke pocketed it and turned towards his companions. He looked at Éomer as he spoke, Sosuke: "Although I want to press on, it seems that once again I will have to lean on Lord Theoden's hospitality." Éomer nodded: "The lord requested me to bring you back to Rohan once done here for a celebratory feast. now it seems tat we have another reason to go as well." Sosuke: "I will request him to give our new friends' freedom. Now come, let us go." The party of four men and one lich made their way back to the surface as the lich shielded his eyes from seeing the sun. Kel'Thuzard: "It's, its so bright!" Sosuke smiled at him: "Breath the free air once again my friend." Kel'thuzard smiled: "I'm already dead you know, breathing is not in my standard job description." Sosuke: "HAHAHAHA, I knew that I'm going to enjoy working with you!" Kel'Thuzard: "So this is Hamunaptra now." Sosuke: "Just wait, after we free you, we're going to the East next. Then you'll see some true beauty." After packing up their camp, they prepared to depart when Gamling noticed something, Gamling: "Oi, lich! How are you going to follow us?" Legolas: "He can ride with you." Gamling: "WAIT, WHAT!!!" Kel'Thuzard floated past them: "I can float fast enough to keep pace with you, buffoon." My Soul, Your Beats ~Rock Version~ by GirlsDeadMonster Sosuke smiled at them and urged Snowsong on. They five of them left the city of the dead and started to return back to Rohan. Snowsong jumped on a rocky outcrop and roared before continuing on to Rohan. No one knew what the future held, but their friendship will last strongly. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Kel'Thuzard >The former Majordomo of Rohan. Is now a poweful lich >Uses ice and Dark magic spells to great effect. Also posses knowledge of several other types of spells. Unable to engage in melee combat. >After being defeated, he accepted an offer to become Sosuke Aizen's traveling companion. ![]() |

'Aeon' | Academy "Don't know yet" 'Aeon' responded. "The guy seems to know what he is doing, and has thought it out, but he didn't tell us what he wants to do. It's hard to agree to join someone when you don't know what it is they are after." 'Aeon' paused shortly, taking the time to look around the room before he continued "I still have some personal problems to deal with, and I'm in the right place to do so. Of course, I've been dealing with those problems for years, so i'll probably end up doing whatever interests me at the time." 'Aeon' said before turning back to Vincent and grinning "I'm pretty whimsical, after all, so I go where I want. I guess not having a place to call home for 12 odd years would do that to you." 'Aeon''s grin faded for a second and he looked towards the food that was still sitting in front of him. "So?" he said, looking back up towards Vincent "are you going to join him?" |

[Talisman - Kota | Black Ops HQ] As Talisman waited for Anke to give her side of the story, Talisman noticed she gave him a small smile and then began to speak. "I think it is ludicrous. I never murdered anyone. I did help my friends defend themselves against the Knightmares, but recently our group split apart. The people responsible for the more recent massacre are probably out doing something stupid that I have nothing to do with, and no knowledge of." Anke began. "As for the villagers. They had already been killed when they got there, and animated by another necromancer. I think it may have been my brother, but he wouldn't have agreed to that without some kind of horrible coaxing. I would like to say that Alexanderson is not as innocent or noble as you might have thought. I do realize, however, that my arguments mean nothing to a military that has evidence against me. Therefore I will adhere to your terms and conditions, so long as me, my brother, Fenris and Vivian Storm caller go free of charges and get a clean record." Anke reached onto the desk and picked up one of the pills. "These, I can go ahead and tell you are strictly medicinal. They keep my heart pumping when it so often threatens to stop working." Anke added. She looked at Talisman and smiled. Talisman stared back at Anke a little surprised. He expected her to be in more of an uproar, he had no idea she would be so calm, and her smile was completely unexpected to him. Talisman was about to respond when he suddenly remembered what she said about Alexanderson. His ears immediately twitched underneath his hair but still kept them hidden. Talisman let out a crack of laughter but quickly put his hand over his mouth to try to contain it. He quickly shifted his eyes to Kota and saw he was having the same reaction. The two fought to hold their laughter but it was too much for them to contain and they both began laughing. “Pff. Pfft-Hahaha! Me; Ha-ha, think Alexanderson is innocent and noble!? Ha!†Talisman was laughing so hard he bent over on his desk, laughing in his chair; his words merged with his laughter. Kota had his head down, laughing, unable to get in a word. “Heh, y-you have the wrong idea about what I think of that prick, Sis, Hahaha! Heh-heh, Kota, can you believe this?†Kota fell off his chair onto the floor laughing. It was too much for him. Kota found it difficult to stop laughing he laid down on his stomach banging his paw against the floor. “It- it’s too much, Hahaha!†Kota put his paw over his head trying to stop. After awhile Kota and Talisman’s laughter calmed down. They were both usually more collected and it was very rare for them to let loose as they did. Kota pushed himself off the floor and jumped back up to the chair next to Anke still chuckling a bit. Talisman took a couple of deep breaths to calm himself down and pushed himself up off his desk and leaned back in his chair. “I’m sorry about that.†Talisman apologized. His eyes narrowed and began to be serious. “But what you said was too much for us to hold back. Heh, even tho we work under the command of Alexanderson, it doesn’t mean we have respect for him. To be honest, Kota and I don’t like him at all. Being a Black Op benefits soldiers like us in more ways than what others think. This goes to say that we didn’t just enlist for our own reasons. But if your brother is the one who was behind that massacre in the north, then I’ll have to ask him.†Talisman stood up from his chair and from his desk then grabbed his jacket. He slid on his jacket and adjusted it to his shoulders. Talisman folded up the files and put them back in his desk; he then walk close to the window and stared out to see the new recruits go through their training. -What are the Knightmares tho?- thought Talisman. -The name does ring a bell, but I can’t seem to narrow it down.- “You’re an extortionist I see, huh.†Talisman smiled and turned to Anke. “But you are both; right and wrong, about what the military thinks of your arguments. Sure, your arguments mean nothing to the military, but those are the people who aren’t involved. Kota and I, on the other hand are already involved in this mess. Anke, your arguments mean something to us, otherwise I wouldn’t have asked you what you thought of the information I gave you. The file I put together about you; most of the information I had collected; I left out a lot of it when I reported back a week ago. That’s why I said be thankful for what I’m doing. All the evidence I have to send an army after you and your friends is all off record; I have the originals.†Talisman stood beside his desk with his hands in his pockets and began to speak in a serious tone. “I want to hire you as a Black Op so to say.†Talisman stared. “About five years ago something was taken from me and I’m having trouble getting it back and I need your help, I’ll tell you the details some other time. Also, if what you say is true, then I need to find out what’s going on to finish my current mission. If accept my offer, you’ll work with me as a Black Op, temporarily, of course unless you want to join; from there I can prove to the military that you were dragged into this mess. You’ll get the same privileges as me and the same benefits. On top of that I’ll take you to your brother as long as you help me. But I can’t do anything for your friends, only you. That is, if you accept. Should you refuse, it’ll be the exact opposite of what I said. Your brother will stay in solitary confinement; the files I have will be burned; I’ll simply forget I ever met you and you’ll walkout here still a wanted fugitive and do whatever you please from there. I guarantee you will never see me and my partner ever again.I’m not very good at explaining but I think you get my point.†Talisman’s eyes narrowed and became sharp as he took his hands out of his pockets. He gathered up his magical energy and let the pressure slowly escape from his body. Spiral markings slowly appeared from Talisman’s hands and slowly spread up to his elbows, clearly visible on his arms. Kota could see that Talisman’s aura was dark. “And if you should attempt to free your brother by force and escape. I warn you,†Talisman spoke coldly. “I will cut you down where you stand and drain you of whatever keeps you in this world. I promise you that.†Talisman suppressed his magic and the Spiral markings on his arms began to slowly fade away. Kota immediately felt Talisman’s aura return to normal. Talisman raised his arm and extended his hand to Anke with a slight smile. -Talisman, is Master saw you this way, she would be very disappointed.- thought Kota. -If it was Yuri... well, I don’t know what she would think of you anymore.- “Now that that’s out of the way.†said Talisman. “If we have a deal, shake my hand and I’ll take you to your brother and we can get started.†Talisman stood with his hand out waiting to see Anke’s decision. |

[Vivian][Tavern] Vivian smiled, knowing they had the place to themselves for the night, and at Fenris' suggestion headed upstairs to their room. She walked in and dropped her bag, and changed into her nightgown. She turned to Fenris and smiled. "We should get to sleep early," Vivian said, "More traveling to do..." She lied down in bed, but continued talking. "It seems like our life will start to have something similar to a routine after now," Vivian said, "A weird one with all this traveling, but still a routine. And it'll be fun, day in and day out traveling. Just continue traveling..." Vivian yawned, and knew she was getting tired. She continued to mutter a few things about traveling, but she was getting sleepy. Soon enough, Vivian was fast asleep. And yet, she would get up again tomorrow and travel further to the East, and continue her journey together with Fenris. ![]() |

Anke Faustus l Black Ops HQ Anke just stared at the two as they rolled around laughing. She didn't care about that, and she was glad to find out that they seemed to hate Alexanderson as much as she did, but what Tailsman said next would throw her for a loop. The information he had was going to help clear her name, and free her brother, but her name only. She couldn't help Vivian and Fenris imminently. However, if she agreed to help him she would be offered a permanent spot on the Black Ops team, and from there she could lead and investigation team that could clear Vivian and Fenris's name later on. She could tell something big was going to happen something bigger than helping Tailsman with what ever mission he was about to set in front of her, and being inside the military might give her friends a fighting chance. She knew deep in her heart that Vivian, Fenris, and their families were going to be a force fighting for good whether the military saw it that way or not. As for the rest of the group, the ones who had started the mess to begin with, well she couldn't speak for them. She just knew that as of now she had to accept Tailsman's offer. Her brother was far to valuable a piece and the military had far too many good resources to pass up on such an offer. She coked her head to the side and simply said. "I accept." She would wait to see how things would unfurl from there. |
