Unnatural

[Lady Ashenwyte]

OOC: Will we time skip now?

[Wylder Treejumper]

Cordan narrowed his eyes and slowly sheathed his sword. "No rights? Hmm. What a dark and sad life you live, cat. I pity you for it. If you truly wish to come with us, however, I suggest that you remain silent, as persuasion does not appear to be your strength."

He turned to Adal. "You and your friend wish to come with us? Why? For safety?" He snorted grimly. "If so, you are looking in the wrong place. We," he indicated the camp, "Are the most wanted fugitives in the history of Trecor. A more dangerous group you could hardly find if you searched. All the resources of the kingdom will be bent on finding us. However, if you truly wish to stay with us, we will hardly prevent you. But hinder us? We will have no choice but to treat you as enemies."

He turned to Alarie. "If we wish to look for Noonvale, I believe I have the advantage here. My holt was near to the place of the old fortress of Marshank. The ruins of the foundations can still be seen. If we are to search for Noonvale, we should begin there. Meanwhile, I'll take first watch." He moved out of the circle of light from the campfire and sat under a tree, eyes scanning the horizon.




Who says we need your permission? The only way you could stop us would be if you killed us and you probably don't want to do that, not a lot of people do. And, as I said, Noonvale may have once been real, but given the circumstances of our current time I think it's likely that some other land has invaded and razed it.

Under his breath, Cordan growled, "You'd be wrong... In both cases, cat..."

OOC: yeah I think now we can get away with it... Your characters and the magic group will jump ahead a bit but Archel will lag behind while we wrap that up.

The city burned. Towns people and street guards rushed back an forth between the fires and the river with buckets forming lines and trying there best to douse the fire. The two guards who had gone out in search of the aggressor had gotten swept up in panic and had been forced to help douse the flames.

Rhima entered the throne room without knocking or announcing her presence and strode up to her father holding out the cloth to him.

"People are making threats now, your executions have got them angry. Two arrows where shot right threw my bedroom window," Osullad took the cloth and looked it over not taking any of it seriously for a moment. They got these kinds of empty threats before nothing ever came of them... most of the time. This just looked like another malcontent who couldn't back up his words.  

"It is nothing... You know that as well as I." He said walking up to the dais and carelessly tossed the cloth to his wife before he sat down in her throne. She was sitting in his at the moment. She looked it over carefully and placing her glass on the arm of the chair she sat up strait and looked to Osullad saying

"It is probably nothing you're right, however he did manage to get an arrow threw Rhima's window. I say we post extra guards on the perimeter," Just then Rhima had wandered over to the window behind the thrones and looking out she saw the the houses by the docks burning. For a moment she just looked on in shock but this soon turned to anger. Her fists clenched and she grited her teeth.

"The city burns!" She growled, and Feva stood abuptly and went over to the window to see for herself.

"So they mean business," she said standing beside her daughter. Osullad had not moved.

"We double the guard," he said without looking at either of them he rose and left the room calling to one of the guards by the door as he passed. "Where is Pheidon, fetch him to me in my chambers,"

***

At that moment Pheidon was out in the city he had been caught up in helping douse the flames and he had managed to get the people into some kind of a water line. All five of the guards in his group where working to put out the fire. he took a bucket for a young maid and tossed it over the flames before handing it back and rubbing smoke from his eyes and smearing soot threw his white fur. Coughing he took another bucket and continued. just then he heard an incoherent scream of warning behind. He turned around just as a flaming piece of  building fell on top of him and he fell to the ground under its weight. A little boy fox much to young to be fighting fires dumped his bucket on him in a panic. The fire sizzled out but the prince did not move. Two towns men and a guard rushed over and removed the beam. His whole left side was badly burned and his arm had broken under him when he fell but he was alive. the guard shooed away the towns people and called over four more guards who helped to carry him away.

 "There is more than just sickness here,"  Erich said. "Don't try to hide it-- I know what has happened to your daughter."

[Faiyloe]

Archel Gave Eric a glare that could melt stone "If you take one step inside this house I will kill you," he said as his paw griped the hilt of his sword ready for a fight.   

[Izeroth]

 "You could kill me now, but you know that you can't get past all those soldiers," Erich said, pointing to the troops in the road.

"I still have a sliver of respect for you, however," Erich continued, "and therefore I'm going to give you a chance at escape."

[Faiyloe]

" I have nothing against you, that is why I do not kill you where you stand, but know this, I will die before I let anyone hurt my daughter," He said slamming and bottling the door before running upstairs to find Marissa . He knew the door would not hold long but it just might give him the time he needed.

[Faiyloe]

OOC: POST IZZY, POST! I AM DYING HERE!

[Izeroth]

OOC: I'm sort of unsure what to do. I was going to let Archel escape... but he sort of slammed the door in my face.

[Faiyloe]

OOC: Brake the door down brake a window do whatever you need to do to finish the job. Don't worry to much about any plans we laid down and just let events unfold.

[Izeroth]

 Erich kicked down the door and raised his saber.

"Archel, this is my last warning," he said. "You and your family will flee right now, or I will not hesitate to kill you on this spot."

[Faiyloe]

Archel heard Eric's shouts but he did not stop or turn around. He would never leave his daughter.  He would stay and fight till the end if it meant keeping her safe. He barged into his daughters bedroom. She jumped off the bed with a start.

"What's wrong? Whats going on?" She asked.

"We need to leave, now. It is no longer safe here," He said holding his paw out to her. She ran across the room and took it and he helped her along as they ran down the hall towards the back stairway.

[Izeroth]

OOC: Will the group be passing through the swamp? I was going to introduce a character there.

[Faiyloe]

OOC: Yes, eventually, but not just yet. We need to wait for ash to catch up. Oh, and you need to post as Eric and or the rest of his team.

[Lady Ashenwyte]

Bane and Ayashe landed on a strip of unknown shore. When the sound of voices reached them, "Who speaks there? Answer me!" he shouted loudly.
