Hey everyone, this is another crazy rps. This is a mixed with history, mummy return and Egyptian myths and such. Hope you all enjoy it.

City's Entombment

::Prologue::
1864-Rome, Italy, a new artefact had been discovered within the land of Egypt. Besides the artefact, there are mummies which now reside in the Museum of Rome. However, the artefact which was named, Eye of Anubis, had been triggered after being removed from its sealed chamber. It brought a curse upon the city of Rome. Creatures resembled the head of a jackal appear from the ground, they stand like an army. The Anubisâ€™ army attacked the citizen of Rome; the people tried to destroy the Eye of Anubis, but had failed for it was too heavily guarded. The museum during this time became a tomb protecting the artefact; guarded by Mummies, Egyptian snakes and the Jackals. With this fear brings courage, thus the vigilante group was form. They exist to eradicate the Jackals and destroy the artefact bringing freedom to the citizens. But also brings justice, taking down Mafioso family.
The Mafioso sees the Vigilante group as their enemies; and also sees the Anubisâ€™ Army as a problem. They as well eradicate the Jackals for personal financial reasons only.
Though they fight against a common enemy, they believe that Anubis seems to be planning something. What it is? No one knows. During this time, many citizens had gone missing, corpse appear at an unknown places. What baffled both sides is how they were killed. Many guessed it was the work of the jackals, but why the dead were killed this way; is another question unanswered.
However, will both sides settled their differences and fight together against a common enemy? Or will continue on fighting a three-side war.
Letâ€™s find out.

::Setting::
The setting is around 1800s of Rome, Italy. During this time, everyone is in fear of the Jackals.

::The Vigilante Group::
A vigilante is a private individual who legally or illegally punishes an alleged lawbreaker, or participates in a group which metes out extralegal punishment to an alleged lawbreaker. Members of neighbourhood watch programs and others who use legal means of bringing people to justice are not considered vigilantes.
"Vigilante justice" is spurred on that criminal punishment is either nonexistent or insufficient for the crime. Those who believe this see their governments as ineffective in enforcing the law; thus, such individuals fulfil the like-minded wishes of the community. In other instances, a person may choose a role of vigilante as a result of personal experience as opposed to a social demand.
Persons seen as "escaping from the law" or "above the law" are sometimes the targets of vigilantism. It may target persons or organizations involved in illegal activities in general or it may be aimed against a specific group or type of activity, e.g. police corruption. Other times, governmental corruption is the prime target of vigilante freedom fighters.

Vigilante behaviour may differ in degree of violence. In some cases vigilantes may assault targets verbally, physically attack them or vandalize their property. Anyone who defies the law to further justice is a vigilante, and thus violence is not a necessary criterion. On the more extreme end of the scale, groups such as People against Gangsterism and Drugs, (PAGAD), have resorted to tactics that have had them blacklisted as terrorist organisations.

::Mafia::
The Mafia (also known as Cosa Nostra) is a criminal syndicate that emerged in the mid-nineteenth century in Sicily. It is a loose association of criminal groups that share a common organizational structure and code of conduct. Each group, known as a "family", "clan", or "cosca", claims sovereignty over a territory in which it operates its rackets â€“ usually a town or village or a neighbourhood (borgata) of a larger city. The genesis of Cosa Nostra is hard to trace because mafiosi are very secretive and do not keep historical records of their own. However, it is widely believed that its seeds were planted in the upheaval of Sicily's transition out of feudalism in 1812 and its later annexation by mainland Italy in 1860.

::THE JACKALS::
The Jackals are Anubisâ€™ soldiers and minions. They serve Anubis to the end of the earth. They fight like swordsman. However, though they can be killed. More will appear later on (Think of the Anubis army in Mummy 2). They are considered intelligent much like dogs and wolves. Their appearances are somewhat similar to the paintings of Anubis wearing ancient Egyptian clothing.

::MEDJAY(Medjai)::
The Medjay represents the name Ancient Egyptians gave to a region in northern Sudanâ€“where an ancient people of Nubia inhabited. They became part of the Ancient Egyptian military as scouts and minor workers.

The first mention of the Medjay in written records dates back to the Old Kingdom, when they were listed among other Nubian peoples by Weni, who was at the time a general serving under Pepi I. During this time the term â€œMedjayâ€ referred to people from the land of Medja, a district estimated to be located just north of the Second Cataract in Nubia. A decree from Pepi I's reign, which lists different officials (including a chief interpreter of Medja and the surrounding districts), illustrates that Medja was at least to some extent subjugated by the Egyptian government.

During the Middle Kingdom, "Medjay" no longer referred to the district of Medja, but to a tribe or clan of people. It is not known what happened to the district, but, after the First Intermediate Period, it and other districts in Nubia were no longer mentioned in written records. Written accounts detail the Medjay as nomadic desert people. Over time they were incorporated into the Egyptian army. In the army, the Medjay served as garrison troops in Egyptian fortifications in Nubia and patrolled the deserts as a kind of gendarmerie. This was done in the hopes of preventing their fellow Medjay tribespeople from further attacking Egyptian assets in the region. They were even later used during Kamoseâ€™s campaign against the Hyksos and became instrumental in making the Egyptian state into a military power.

By the 18th Dynasty of the New Kingdom period, the Medjay were an elite paramilitary police force. No longer did the term refer to an ethnic group and over time the new meaning became synonymous with the policing occupation in general. Being an elite police force, the Medjay were often used to protect valuable areas, especially royal and religious complexes. Though they are most notable for their protection of the royal palaces and tombs in Thebes and the surrounding areas, the Medjay were known to have been used throughout Upper and Lower Egypt. Each regional unit had its own chiefs and captains. The Medjay were also known to have been used as desert scouts during this time period as well.

At first, the group just consisted of those who were considered ethnically Medjay and were descended from the ancient tribal group. This changed over time, however, as more and more Egyptians joined the occupation. Based on the written records, it can be seen that various Medjay chiefs and captains had Egyptian names and were depicted as such. Why this change occurred is not exactly known by Egyptologists, but it could be assumed that because the Medjay were seen as an elite group of warriors, more Egyptians might have joined to achieve a similar status.

::Factions::

::Corvino Family::
The Corvino Famiglia was created in 1802. The Corvino Famiglia is a vigilante group whose duty is to bring freedom and safety to the people of Sicily. They eradicate Demons, Jackals and fight against the Mafia. They are considered a powerful group and are loved by the citizens.

::Cavalone Famiglia::
A mafia family are famous for their intelligence and fighting skills. Though they are mafia that dealt with few illegal actions, they are still considered noble and filled with honour as men. Unlike most mafia family, they donâ€™t fight dirty.

::Rule::
-Vigilante and Mafia members are not god, their ability, energy and stamina are limited. They are not super human; their body is completely the same as normal human.
- Vigilante and Mafioso can only take 2 weapons; one main and one backup
- Skills are specific and limited.
- Try not to be just a â€˜bystanderâ€™, â€˜studentâ€™ or â€˜civilianâ€™. Be something that has connection and role in the story and setting.
- You can play as or take control of that time famous figure.

::General Rule::
- Normal Gendou Rules.
- No god-mode or power-playing. We're all talented writers here. Please consider when you can win and when you have to lose.
- Quality posts, be creative, which means avoid one-liners. I'm not too strict with language use, as long as everyone can understand your writing that's enough
- Make this rp as realistic as possible. Magic are not involve nor is Esp. The only thing that is magical is the repeated appearance of the Anubisâ€™ army and the Eye of Anubis.
- No killing other player's character without their permission and my permission.
- Be realistic and use your imagination, you need to know how to react in your role, and youâ€™re not a perfect being.
- You can take more than 1 character, and feel free to create any number of minor characters. But, take your own risk and be responsible to your own character.
- Submit me any ideas you have or PM me about anything you want to ask. I also accept any critic and comment or even a protest.
- Tell us if you canâ€™t post for some period or want to quit.
- Romance always welcome, but consider your condition and donâ€™t ignoring other player (unless they caused some trouble).
- Have fun.

ZERO'S NOTE
Hey everyone, this is a little notice to everyone who do not understand the culture within this rp time period. In this rp, the time period which is the 1800s are a lot more strict than 21st century. Men have a lot more freedom than women. Women are restricted due to society and family reputation. During this time, there are no airplanes as transportation. Ships and horse carriage are what is used during this time period. For better example on how to relate to this rp time period is the anime, Kuroshitsuji aka Black Butler. Also, magic is consider a taboo during this time, for people during 1800s believe magic and esp are related to the devil and is considered witch crafts.

Another thing, Mummies and the Anubis army are not consider demons. For Anubis' army are creature that serve the God, Anubis. Mummies should not be consider as Zombies. Mummies are considered more intelligent than zombies even if they are dead. Their bodies do not rot like Zombies, for their body are already dried up.

Hope these extra information are helpful.

Name : Kirei Kotomine
Title : The Undertaker
Age : 32
Gender : Male
Nationality : Japanese (Is also a citizen of the Vatican City and England)
Job : Priest/Exorcist/Commander of the Burial Agency
Rank: Cardinal (Rank is equalivant to Marquess)

Personality : A man of God but also one who is quite willing to kill you in God's name. Kirei is a paradox of a man. He is quite mysterious but has a protective personality and kind heart. Despite being a priest (a cardinal no less!), he can be immature and joke around, and likes women and fine booze. When it comes to it, Kirei is extremely serious and willing to do what needs to be done. He has a code of honour of sorts such as not hurting women and children. He is a brilliant military commander and diplomat. He can â€œreadâ€ peoplesâ€™ characters and is known to have had manipulated several people to further his own causes. He has a slightly nasty habit of manipulating others to fit his uses and is often described as "the guy that you just knew the first time you met him, to be the one pulling all the strings".

Skill and Specialty : Being a member of the Church, Kirei is knowledgeable in the reading of holy sacraments. As a member of the Church's Burial Agency, Kirei has varying specialties, including those specialized and geared for witch hunting, demon killing, or vampire slaying. He is also knowledgeable in several Asian martial arts and weapons usage.

Bio : Kirei was the son of the Japanese mistress of an English Vicount and was abandoned at an abbey after birth. Taken in by the priest, Kirei was raised knowing only his first name and to become the next priest. He became a priest at a young age but he was also trained as an exorcist and had an ironic talent for healing other people.

He was invited to the Vatican City and rose very quickly through the ranks while undergoing his training as an Executor. He was initially assigned to the The Assembly of the Eighth Sacrament which is a special agency made up of a group of special clerics charged with the research, recovery, and managing of holy relics scattered across the globe. The items called holy relics include the remains and blood of saints, the nails that crucified Christ, the holy cross, the thirty silver coins of Judas, and other items with the holy attribute. The members follow the "Eighth Sacrament" outside of the Sacraments of the Catholic Church, the seven graces that God bestows in the Catholic faith.

Eventually his skills grew until he was announced as an Executor. The Executors are the heretic inquisitors of the Church established by the 120th Cardinal charged with the task of demon killing and the destruction of other heretical beings. It is known as the bloodiest department of the Church, called the Shura's Den for its responsibility of punishing heresies. It takes a certain amount of willpower to be part of it, and being able to achieve the title of "Executor" signifies that one is a first-rate murderer that has passed brutal and pious training to become mankind's weapon. They also include Exorcists, special kinds of priests charged as "representatives" by the bishop of a diocese. They are a type of Executor not geared for heretic hunting, but rather answer pleas for help and visit those towns to exorcise demons.

The Executors also follow the Eighth Sacrament, granting the permit to stray away from the rules of their religion as long as one thing, name of the All Mighty, is protected. They are followers that do not teach the words of the Lord, but act as as His representative, His Executors, despite being mere mortals. They take part in trials that should have only been watched, and slay heretics that should have only been denied.

Kirei was assigned at the age of 19 to the Burial Agency. The Burial Agency is a group of special Executors gathered by the Church, known as the most professional inquisitors. The organization operates and scouts entirely on ability. Anyone can become a member if they have the power and the will to destroy heretics and whatever else the Church finds "inconvenient." Faith is a secondary condition, though they will baptize the members. It is made up of seven main members including the leader, and an eighth member is in reserve. The members gain powerful privileges and influence, and they'll even go against the wishes of the Church without orders to eliminate heretics. They'll go as far as to skewer a Bishop if he is possessed, leading to whispers calling it the most heretical section of the Church.

Within 5 years. Kirei rose up to become the commander of the Burial Agency and has held that position for 8 years running earning the nickname Undertaker for his deadly skill. He also learned of the identity of his parents including his mother who was a noblewoman from Japan making him of pure noble blood from both sides of his family. On orders from the Vatican, Kirei went to Japan to claim headship of his mother's family in order for the Church to have a foothold in the East in case of need.

With the threat of the Eye of Anubis and The Jackals so close to the Vatican City, The Burial Agency has been dispatched to counter the threat. They are considered to be a vigilante group by the Italian government who often are forced to assist them via blackmail from the Vatican. Kirei and The Agency's missions are simple: Locate and seize the Eye of Anubis and neutralize the threat brought by the mummies and Jackals. Any interference by the local Mafia Families are to be dealt with severe repercussions if they fail to remain out of the way.

Ability:
a)Black Keys -

These are charms used by agents of the Church to repel demons. They took the form of blades and other weapon, usually in the form of long rapier-like swords or tridents/spears (although they are generally thrown as a dagger or used to stab opponents). They are considered to be symbolic, although their weak attack power, which is still enough to pierce concrete walls, and the amount of skill required to properly wield them causes them not to be used as often.

b)Knight of Honor - Knight of Honor is an ability that is the embodiment of the incident where Kirei was forced to fight an assassin unarmed and proved his fighting prowess by claiming victory with a variety of common items. Once Kirei grabs hold of anything that can be even remotely conceptualized as a weapon by his own recognition and he recognizes that he wishes to wield it, it instantly gains the property of "becoming his weapon." It allows for something as worthless as a piece of scrap iron to be utilized as a spear or sword. He is able to naturally control any weapon that he wields as if it were a favorite weapon with which he specialized in and polished his skills for many years. He can make use of weaponry regardless of how it was created or its time of origin.

c)Fatal Aria - By utilizing the power of "Fatal Verses" which are phrases or verses found within the bible, and other holy scriptures, Kirei is able to banish demons. If the demon proves to powerful or has a strong will, it will merely be weakened. He can also use the verses to exorcise possessed humans.

[Rome, Italy-1864]

Sky is vast, with a orange hue indicating twilight. It was peaceful up in the sky but. . .within the ground, all is chaotic. Within a chamber of Roma Museum, lay the eye of Anubis. The jewel within the center shimmers and shine but it is not a warm shine, but something cold sending bad feelings to people's heart.

Around the room, the dead slowly twitch. The mummies rose from their sarcophagus, groan can be heard them as they walk endlessly like warriors, sabre in hand, dressed in Egyptian military attire while skin still wrapped in linen.

Aside from the mummies, snakes ranging from asp to cobras appear out of hiding, slithering out of the museum to the city of Rome.

As the sun sets, shadows expands across the street. Beings of unknown slowly rise from the shadows, taking form into the shape of a jackal with human structure. The whole body coated in black fur, don in Egyptian military attire as well. They roar in ancient Egyptian language, raising their weapons and rush around attacking the city.

The citizen cries out in fear, fleeing from the onslaught, many manage to go into hiding within their homes, while others try to fight back.

Many weeks passed, the Jackals prowl along the street like guard. The citizens shake in fear within their own home. Some manage to find shelter with the base of the Corvino Family.

As this is happening, a young man in his early 20's stand within his office, his body is lean yet fit, His blue eyes stare out at the window, his rainy blue hair tamed yet messy as usual.

Giotto knew that the cause of these disaster had something to do with Egypt. The only thing he can do at the moment in time is battle against the Jackals and mummies while his family member set out to gather information.

Beside his family member, there is one other person he can ask. But, whether to trust that person or not is the problem. He gave a huge sigh, before he adjusted his necktie, while changing his coat to something more suitable for battle. He grabbed his sword before he set out to eliminate more Jackals and mummies. The mission this time is to guide the citizens from a certain region to safety aka the Corvino family shelter; some citizen refer it as a base.

He walked out of his office and down the hall, while he prepare his nerves before he battle those creatures again.

[Cain Lucian|Rooftop-Rome|Twilight]

Cain silently looks down at the street which is now filled with the Anubis army, his two colored eyes stared out at them, the sabre stayed at his side. Then he noticed a citizen running from the army. He jumps down while holding onto a rope, and swings towards the army like Tarzan. He take his sabre and slashed at the army saving the citizen in time.

The Anubis spoke out in Egyptian.

How dare you intefere!

Cain understand what they said, respond back.

So, I am merely cleaning up some garbage

He said with a smirk and dashed towards the army with great speed, slashing at them, till they disappear into dust. More comes into the battle. He grimaced and glance down at the citizen behind him who is huddle against the wall.

He thought to himself that this is sure a pain, carrying a heavy baggage around...

Namely | Cain's Office | Rome | Twilight]

A Gentle voice echoed around the empty complex.

The streets of Rome are to fear by everyone... Most of the people stay inside the walls of there home to protect themselves. Yet you must find away to rebel..

A young woman around eighteen, with luscious long hair, ice blue eyes, pale and gentle complexion, Sexual yet Graceful bodily configuration with bright rosed lips. Stood beside a window as she watched from withing to the outside.

On her left fragile sense of touch she hold a closed book, and on her other a Tea Cup. Silently she watched as the Anubis army marched forward terrorizing with each step. Her eyes glanced at the center table withing the complex, were another warm cup of tea awaited, beside it was a plate with breakfast.

She sighted and smiled, lowering her visionary, approximating the cup to her soft lips she takes a sip of tea. Guess you're going to be late today as well.. She said as she walked and sat down at the other end of the center table. She opened the book and began to read.

As she calmly expected the arrival of him.

"Wonder what's up outside."

Jessica then hurried finishing her poisons, she gets outside while armed with a knife.

- Outside -

When Jessica stepped outside, she was immediately attacked by an unknown attacker. Jessica immediately dodges it. She looked at the attacker.

"What in the world..."

Jessica was surprised to see the attacker was an egyptian warrior. She runs away from it while thinking on how to kill it. A while later, she turned around, she then runs towards the enemy, she slides through. Her body was small enough to slip past under it. She then kicks it's back, making it fall to the ground. As it tries to recover, she immediately stabs her knife to it's back. It then falls back to the ground, it seems motionless.

Jessica thought that it was dead. Suddenly, it stands up quickly.

"Wh-- Why won't it die!?"

She was quite terrified that it didn't die. Now cornered and disarmed, all she could do was just evading its attack. She then sees a chance. As it's right arm swings, she grabbed it with her left arm, she immediately stepped in and slams it to the ground, without letting it go, she then snapped it's right arm. As it snapped, she released it and immediately grabs a hold of it's head. With desperation she pulled it's head. Her desperation gave her the power to decapitate it. She then stopped for a while after decapitating it, She took a breather... Then she take her knife back.

". . . Finally it died."

She then climbs her way to the rooftop. She looked down. She saw the march of the egyptian warriors with what looked like Anubis as it's leader

"H-- How... How did this happen?"

OOC: Edited, implied that it looks like Anubis, but its not, and do edit your post too zero, since the first post implies that it was Anubis who lead the pack

@all; A little note to all who is confused. Anubis cannot be in the realm of the living. For he is a God. Therefore, for Anubis to walk down the street of Rome is utterly impossible, due to various reasons. One is that he is a God. Two is that he has the duties of being the judgement of the dead, where he weigh the heart of the dead on the scale. Three, Gods are not allow to intervene with the living themselves. So the only thing on the street of Rome that is tied to Anubis, is his army.

@LD; if you had read my note above, please make changes to the last few sentences of your post. Thank you.

[Giotto|Rome-Street|Twilight]

Several things had happened as soon as Giotto step out onto the ruined street of Rome. Jackals running about, snakes slithering towards the targets instilled with fear.

The Jackals having noticed him, drew their weapons and gave out a war cry before marching towards him with a goal.

Giotto draw his blade, unsheathing it from its hold. He analyzed the situation carefully before charging forward slicing at the Jackals, while dodging their attacks the best he could manage. He manage slip past the army with difficulty but succeeded nonetheless.

Though he manage to escape the Jackals, he is immediately surrounded by a nest of snakes. The jaws open revealing their deadly fangs of venom. They stare fixated at him with coal black eyes. Before he could react, they strike like lightning speed. He tries his best to parry against their strike but was not quick enough.

He was then took by surprise, when a blade came out and slaughtered the snakes before they could reach him. He stare up at the owner of the blade who he saw belongs to the Jackals. With this distraction, he ran killing the snakes and jackals, creating his own path. He make it to safety once he climb the ladder of an alley that leads to the rook of one of the buildings. He arrived on the rooftop and knelt, panting in short breath as he tries to slow his beating heart.

When he finally calmed, he began to think back to the jackals action. Why did they kill the snakes? Aren't the snakes on their side? So many questions but no answers to them.

[Cain Lucian|Rome-Street|Twilight]

A plan slowly formed while he is trapped within the circle of the Anubis army. While deep in thought, he heard a hiss behind him, where the citizen should be. He glance back, but see no snakes around the citizen.

He stared back at the Jackals as they continue to speak.

Give us the creature, human. If you do, we shall spare you They said in ancient Egyptian.

The words they spoke was simple but what confuses him when they imply the woman behind him a creature instead of human like they had implied to him. He then heard the hiss again.

A part of his mind told him to move aside. Trusting his own instinct, he jumped aside in time when he saw the woman attack him from behind, hitting the place where he once stood. But as he stared, he was in shocked. For the thing before him resembles less of a human now, more of a snake.

The Jackals took this instinct and attack the huge snake. The creature struggles and fight back with great strength but she is no match against an army of Jackals.

He stared in disbelief. Taking this moment, he retreated back to his building, back to his office.

Once returned, he walked through the door to his office and sees his assistance sitting at the table, calmly sipping tea.

He hang his jacket before striding over towards her.

"You came early, Namely," He said with a chuckle, though he knew that he is the one who is late as always.

[Lau | Rome-Street | Twilight]
As Lau was making his way towards the Anubis army until suddenly, he jumped behind a wall, and pulled out a small mirror. Through the mirror was a man wielding a sabre, relentlessly slashing away at the Anubis army only to encounter more. The main seemed to be protecting a female citizen who huddled against a nearby wall. However, as he let his guard down and turned towards the woman, more Jackals approached. He immediately glanced back at the citizen and then starting conversing with the Jackals.

What was even more surprising to Lau, was the citizen slowly morphing into a large snake. Not before long, the snake lunged at the man, whom in response evaded the attack. Jackals soon took action and impaled the snake with their short spears. The massive snake struggled and fought back with great strength, but was not match against the sheer number of Jackals.

The man stared at the slaughter in seemingly disbelief and fled leaving the Jackals to continue on their way. Ran knew is limits and couldnâ€™t defeat them if they were charge at him at once. He waited within the penumbra of a shadow hiding his presence. When the army passed his location, the footprints that belonged to the strange man had been covered by the army and prevented Lau from tracing his location.

[Lau | Rome-Dried Park | Twilight]
The army seemed to be heading towards Primoâ€™s direction, he knew he shouldnâ€™t burden him by letting him fight more in the seemingly overwhelming numbers and swiftly moved to the center point between Primo and the incoming army. The location was perfect for an ambush since it was a flat open area without any buildings nearby. Lau pulled out a hand sized shovel and buried his bombs below the surface of the ground. He pulled out a green blanket and placed it on top of himself as he sat hidden on a healthy green tree.

As soon as the Jackal army was within the effective range, Lau pulled on a cord that was burned within the ground with the explosives. The explosion shook the ground and left no survivors.

Lau swiftly returned to Primo and gave him a brief report on what he saw.

[Yin Wei's restaurant | Twilight | Closing time]

Yin Wei, Ellen, and a few cleaning crew were the only ones in the restaurant trying to closing time cleaning. Ellen put the food back into the fridge and cleaning the cooking equipment. While, Yin Wei was in his office looking at his sale papers.

A bell chime near the door was heard as 3 men walked into the restaurant.

A cleaning member walks up to them and says, "I'm sorry but, we are *headsliced*"

Another member: Why you-- *assassinated*

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Yin Wei]

Yin Wei was checking on his papers on how his sales were going until he heard screams in the kitchen, which were Chinese Man went. He found that there was a dead chef on the floor. Standing there was a ninja-like masked assassin (Ninja Assassin for the cult empire of Anubis?)

The assassin had a Shotel and started the slice him with the curved. Yin moved back and then side-stepped as the assassin slash down. Using the momentum, to draw his Yee Jee Seung Do that was hidden in his clothing to slice the assassin in the torso. Yin, sheath his knives and picked up the Shotel. Now, all the sudden, in a hallway which got him trapped by 2 other assassins in the entrance and the exit of the hallway. They charged Yin, drastically, in a stabbing motion. Yin, ran up a wall and flipped causing them both men to run and stabbed into each other.

The only person at the moment that occurred on his mind was, Ellen. Thankfully, she was well hidden.

"Are you Okay?" Yin asked in sign language.

Ellen didn't answer as she just hugged him. She was really scared.

Namely | Cain's Office | Rome | Morning

Silently the young Namely awaited with patience the arrival of Cain. Her eyes that were closed slowly opened as he walked through the door to the office and sees her sitting at the table, calmly sipping tea. He hang his jacket before striding over towards her.

"You came early, Namely," He said with a chuckle, though he knew that he is the one who is late as always. Her lips curled into a smile as she stood up from her seat. Her English accent softly pronounce his name. Cain.. aren't you tire of making me worry about you?.. every time you go out?..

She asked, walking towards him, She stooped beside him as there eyes met, His body towering over her petite figure. She continued walking towards the fist aid kit they had inside a small night table like.

She moved some stuff around as her sense of touch grasp the small box. Closing the small doors she walked towards Cain. She placed the small kit on top of the table. She grabbed a small ball of cotton and gently place it aside.

Then she opened the glass bottle of alcohol, took once again the cotton ball and pore some alcohol on it. She turned to Cain and gently began clean away some scratches he had on his cheek. Did you find something "Interesting"... He asked him awaiting his reply.

For some reason Namely always tried her best to take care of Cain, Do her best to keep him safe. She felted that it was her destiny.

@mistress; Please change your character time setting to twilight. Thank you.
[Cain Lucian|Cain's Office|Rome|Twilight]

Cain winces as Namely pressed the cotton soaked alcohol onto his cheek where he was scratched. His hands clasped together tightly in front of him as he thinks of the best way to describe what had happen today.

Somehow, it is hard even for himself to describe the events. He closes his eyes and tried to calm himself, forcing himself into meditation while Namely continues to tend to his wounds. He knew that Namely constantly worried for him, but his duty as a Medjay always comes first.

He opens his eyes and glance down at his wrist where the mark of the Medjay bore into his skin.

He turn his head and stare into Namely's eyes with his own. He open his lips and spoke in a husky low voice that is affected by exhaustion of today's event.

"Well, let's just say that today. It is something of a new beginning. Rather confusion is brought forth into play for us. I was on patrol as per usual as you are well aware. A citizen was chased by the army of Anubis, I went down and rescue her. But while trying to protect the citizen, they corner us. The Jackals spoke to me in their native tongue, which is consider odd in itself. For soldiers of Anubis hardly need to communicate with us. But this time they did," He said before continuing.

"As I was trying to protect the citizen who is hidden behind me. I heard a hiss, like the sound of a snake. Of course, I look around. There are no snakes in sight, but I heard the sound again. By instant, I manage to jump aside on time to dodge an attack from behind me. The thing that attack me is what caught me by surprise. For it was a mixed of a human and a giant snake. You can almost say it is a Lamia but I doubt it. The next thing that caught me by surprise is that the Jackals attack the fiend instead of me, like that was their mission from the beginning. I chose that time to escape, for I knew whatever that creature was, it is not human nor a citizen of Rome."

He glance side way and gave a deep sigh. "So the question is that, why did Jackals attack that snake-creature? And what is that snake-creature? Rather, who is it's master and such. Namely, with all these events. It is time for us to do some research and do some actions."
