The quest to the North
Sevious Helios finishes talking to Cain Freemont in the library and says his good byes. He is all packed up and ready to leave. He bows to Cain before he slips his full helmet right over his head thinking to himself, "This is the final stage of this whole thing...I hope....I will come back...if it's the last thing I do." He promises' himself that and walks out of the library door and to the west in the night. Outside, the faint voices of some townfolk can be heard talking about some recent events such as Fortinbris Bloodhearte and Dunthor. Sevious shakes his head at the gossip about them two and continues down the road. "I hope Cain doesn't forget...", Sevious says to himself as he walks down the road.
Slowly he walks past the inn and into the forest on the peninsula and over the horizon arises the masts of a ship. An orcan ship looms in the background. Sevious looks around for any signs of any others but sees no one else. He looks up at the ship and sees that the bloodskull crew of it are there and waiting for the others to show up. Sevious walks on up to it through the thick forest and the sounds of the night insects and other animals. Sevious walks up the platform and looks around at the crew members. "Greetings to all of you. I guess I will be traveling with you all for a while. We're heading North soon. ", Sevious says to them. They all look at him and one opens his mouth and starts to speak, "Aye that we are, sir. But we take our orders from Veralion and him only.
We await them. But I suppose we are waiting for the others to come as well...we were told you, another human known as Fortinbris Bloodhearte, and yet again, another human known as Boremier, and a hobbit known as Ezorock were coming with us. We will treat you with the utmost respect just as long as you wash your own dishes after dinner.", the bloodskull says grinning. Sevious nods. "I agree then.", he says. He peers up at the night sky, at the moons, thinking again to himself. "May the gods defend my friends here...and Moathia. I will be back...I promise.", Sevious says to himself again. He peers off into the forest waiting for someone else to come up out of it.

A clocked figure begins to walk up behind he halfling, carrying a chest on one shoulder and a bag over the other. He walks with a slight limp and two red eyes can be seen in the night like little fire flies.
"We may leave now if you all are ready..." Veralion shoots a leer towards Bloodhearte, hiding in the shadows, and turns and grins at Helios. "How is everyone? Are you all ready?", Veralion says as two Bloodskulls help him with his luggage. "We should reach our destination within a few days... And make sure that you are prepared... Any last moment things or questions?"
Veralion stops in the middle of everyone, waiting for their responses...

Sevious looks at Veralion and realizes the look he just gave Bloodhearte and shakes his head slowly. He peers at Veralion through his thick armor and says, "Aye. I am well...and I am ready to go if you haven't already seen. Look at all this armor I'm in and look at my heavy bag. Most of it is clothes given to me. And then I got my lute and a leather suit for my top for easier movement in the forest. Then I have my fathers two handed sword...some mana potions and my wand although I'm more of a sword fighter. And then I have a lion shield mounted here on my back and my knight shield here on my left arm and my fire sword on my right....I think I'm very well ready. oh...and I want to be in the north by two days...if you can move that fast. I want to land in the port of the capital city of farnduvan. The kingdoms name is Farngoon. I hope we make it there in time as well...that is all I really have to say for now...oh and Veralion....don't mind Bloodhearte...I don't want to see you two fighting in front of me because of some dark grudge you both have for eachother." Sevious takes in a breath as he looks out from behind his helmet and turns around and walks over to Fortinbris in the shadows.
"Try to stay away from Veralion the whole ride. He said any trouble from you and you'll be literally thrown off the ship....I don't want that to happen.", Sevious says to Fortinbris. He turns back around and looks at Ezorock. "We depart as soon as Boremier gets here. We mustn't leave him behind. I hope he hurries.", Sevious responds to Ezorock's question. He turns back around and slowly walks back over to the edge of the ship and awaits the arrival of Boremier. He glances around at Trollsbane one last time and says, "I will be back." He turns back around and looks at Veralion. "Oh...do we get some beds again? I quite enjoyed the last trip in the room you gave me....oh and give Fortinbris one too. He'll probably be in there the whole time and out of your way, Veralion." Sevious waits for the others to respond to his own comments as he turns back around and peers back into the forest.

The eyes of Bloodhearte, although now partially covered by cloth, gleams a brilliant red. He feels offended by Veralion for the moment, and makes a reply to his other trustable friend, Sevious...
Don't worry, Sevious. He threatens me, but I don't fear...after all, I'm not going to experiment while on board of this ship. I understand your intentions, and I hope to be of a great service to you as I try to convince Kalamon.
By the way, I have used this here bluestone to make a quick trip back to the library. I stole some books, but they will be harmless in our journeys.
I am ready to depart now, Veralion. Let's not let some grudge against the both of us get in the way of our goals for this mission.
Deciding his blackstone ring may become a threat to the rest of the crew, he takes it off...with difficulty, and some of his enhanced physical attributes leave him as he stashes it in his leather bag. The leather bag also contains fresh water, a few loaves of bread, and his trusty bluestone which can be used as a communication or teleportation device. A wooden trunk is also stored away in the hull of the ship, containing his chain mail, chain helmet, two knight shields, a firesword and his magic wand. He is nervous about adventuring at sea, for Bloodhearte spent his life on land. He wishes his followers to stay out of Trollsbane for awhile as their leader is gone...
I believe I should stalk the shadows of the ship some more, for I doubt the rest of the crew doesn't want to include me in their social circle due to the recent happenings at Trollsbane.

Veralion looks at Bloodhearte, and hears what everyone says.
Very well. Bloodskulls, take care of there items and show them to their rooms. We shall leave under the cloak of darkness. We should be there soon.
Veralion sees Bloodhearte take off his blackstone ring and he looks down at his own. He remembers better days with Gurok and sighs...
I hold no grudge...... Alright everyone! Let's go!

A bloodskull walks up to Sevious and nods saying, "I'll take your baggage to your room. If you would be so kindly to follow me." Sevious shakes his head. "Not yet sir.", Sevious says back. He hands his bags to the bloodskull and gave him his index finger signaling the be a moment sign. Sevious walks back over to the side of the ship and searches the forest line to see Boremier running out. "Stop the ship!", Sevious shouts,"Boremier approaches! He is coming after all." Startled, the bloodskulls run to pick up spears and Sevious shakes his head, "Never let....hmph. Guess I'll have to stop the ship."
Sevious runs for the anchor and picks it up and then runs over to the edge, and drops it down. Sevious rubs his arms as they are sore from picking up such a heavy object. Sevious sets the walkboard down and lets Boremier in. Boremier runs up the board and whipes his brow gasping for air. "You're welcome.", Sevious says grinning. Sevious looks back out over the edge of the ship and peers back into the forest line. He suddenly spots green eyes looking up at him at the edge of the forest line. He looks back down through his helmt and slowly puts his arms up to his head and takes off his helmet revealing his face.
He smiles down into the forest and whispers into the wind, "Niutuluva Aldamanna." Slowly the ship starts to move again being guided by the silent night's wind. Sevious stands on the edge of the ship just gazing into the forest at what he sees and what the others don't. He keeps on watching until the forest begin to fade....

When the forest are out of sight, Sevious turns around and looks at Veralion and then at the others - Ezorock, Boremier, and in the shadows, Fortinbris Bloodhearte. "I'm going to go down into my room and rest...Kind sir I am ready to be led to my sleeping room", Sevious says to the others and then to the orcs carrying his bag. The bloodskull nods and gestures for Sevious to follow him.
Sevious turns back towards the others and says before he disappears, "Best to rest up. You need alot of it for the upcoming events...." Sevious follows the Bloodskull down a few decks and onto the lower third one. "Here is your room. It is rather small much like last time you were here but it will suit you. It is rather comfortable", the Bloodskull says to Sevious.
The bloodskull opens the door with his coarse green hand and goes in. Sevious follows and watches as the Bloodskull sets down the bag of Sevious' things and says,"I'll leave you to your rest." The Bloodskull walks back up to the top deck with the rest of the crew of Veralion's ship. He sets his sword and knight shield on the table next to the bed.
Sevious then slips off his Chest plate and lether leggings after he takes off his gauntlets and boots. He sets his helmet down on the table as well and opens up his bag. He pulls out some finely made trousers and slips them over his legs then he pulls out a shirt and puts it on. He stretches his arms out and thinks to himself. "Let's see....we'll be to the North in about...a day. I suppose that is plenty of time to rest. I also wonder how the others are doing..."
Sevious lifts the white silk covers up from the top of the bed and lays down on it with his head resting on the pillow. He then lifts the sheets up over his body to only where his head sticks out. He silently listens to his breathing as he falls to sleep. "Only one more...day", Sevious thinks to himself before drifting off to sleep.

Blooodhearte, not used to seafaring, has a face that is turning greener by the second. He quickly makes haste to the side of the ship, and begins to relieve himself of his sickness.
Ugh...I hope the other crew members don't see this. Any witness of my sea sickness would be embarrassing.
Foolishly thinking he was feeling better, his face turns green as he goes for another round over the edge. After almost an hour, Bloodhearte has now confirmed that he can take the slow, heavy rocking of the ship for the night. Rather than sleeping on the bed, he crosses his legs in a meditational position and closes his eyes...

Sevious' eyes fly open as the ship rocks back and forth slowly. He is sweating and his hair is drenched. The place where his head was laying at is now covered in sweat. Sevious takes a towel to his head and whipes the sweat of off it. "....Oh no....It's begun.", Sevious says to himself. He stands up to his feet and walks over to his armor. He picks up his sword and looks at it. He sees a person with glowing blue eyes and wet brown hair looking back out at him.
"This blade....will take some lives...and very soon.", Sevious thinks to himself,"Kalamon is here...in the North...he has his armies ready..." Sevious takes off his shirt and puts on his chest plate and leather leggings over his pants. After he slips his gauntlets on and his metal boots he picks up his knight shield and sword. He attaches the sword to his belt and the shield onto his back. He picks up his helmet and slips it on over his head.
He walks through the decks and all the way to the upper one. He spots Veralion and walks up to him. "Kalamon is here....I just had a dream....more like a nightmare....he spoke to me...saying that we can't win....", Sevious says to Veralion. Suddenly up in the crow's nest a bloodskull shouts down to Veralion, "Sire! Flags are appearing from over the horizen! I think we've made it to thee north!" Sevious turns around and looks up at the skyline. Flags with two swords and a giant shield with a wolf's head on it appears in the distance. "We are here....that is farnduvan, the capital city of Farngoon. We will have to dock in the ports here...and go and see the king. We must find out what is happening...if he knows anything as of yet.", Sevious says to Veralion as he gazes at the flags.
Sevious turns around and says to Veralion," It's up to you to dock the ship...give the command and we'll do so." Sevious turns around to Ezorock and says, "Time to wake up...we are almost here. Get your armor or whatever you think you may need with you off the ship on you. Make it fast...we may be riding into battle soon." Sevious then walks over to Boremier and says, "Speak up my friend...you haven't been talking at all....oh and get ready as well. Equip yourself and prepare for what is going to happen...we are nearly there." Sevious then walks over to Fortinbris and puts his hand on his shoulder to snap him out of his meditation state. "It is time to...go. I'm sure you are eager...to talk to him. Let us get ready. I'm afraid you may not even get a chance to "convert" him if you are not ready for battle...", Sevious says to Fortinbris.
Sevious turns around and watches as they draw nearer to the city. "We're here...", Sevious says in a low voice again,"And we're ready.." He waits for the others to get ready and for Veralion to give the signal to dock...

Sevious turns around and nods to Ezorock. "Indeed you are. Now you must prepare...for battle if anything else.", Sevious says to him. He then turns around to Veralion and says with sarcasm in his voice,"I am in command now? Hmm...I will try my best to lead us into the dock....sounds like a simple task." Sevious grins at Veralion. He walks over to the side of the ship and says, "Listen up Bloodskulls! We are here in the North. Let us dock in the port of Farnduvan." The Bloodskulls run across the deck in and to their positions as they guide the ship towards the docks of the city. The magnificient stone walls of the city rise up over the sea as they draw nearer.
"When we dock, we will go and see the king. We must speak with him...but the problem is...getting to see him. I'm sure his gaurds won't let anyone in...hmm.", Sevious says to the others. The ship sails slowly over the waves as the wind blows the sails. "About five more minutes and we will have docked!", Sevious says to the others, "Keep your weapons low...we don't want them to think we're a threat to them. If anything keep them sheathed." The ship rolls into the dock and suddenly stops as three bloodskulls pick up the anchor and drop it over the side into the water. Two of those three run over to the side of the ship that faces the dock and pick up a walking board. They then connect the ship to the dock with it creating a walkway.
Several human guards in full armor come running up to the ship with spears drawn. "Who are ye to dock in our kingdom without permission?!", one of the guards shouts up into the ship. Sevious walks over to the side and responds,"Who are we you ask? Hmm. It seems you don't treat visitors to kindly. Allow me to clarify who we are. I am Sir Sevious Helios, Knight of the round of the kingdom of Darishnia. This orc her beside me is Veralion. He is the leader of the Bloodskulls. This is his ship. And this is Ezorock a kind hearted halfling or hobbit if you will. And that is Boremier he also comes from the east from the kingdom of Masmutura. And over there in the shadows is Fortinbris Bloodhearte, the leader of a great cult. He is quite the gentleman if you get to know him.", Sevious takes a breath after introducing themselves and waits for the others to respond.
"A knight you say? Hmm. From Darishnia...That is a kingdom in the east in fact. But how can we be so sure of it? And why would a knight be faring the sea with a bunch of bafoons such as these orcs?", the knight asks. Sevious looks out the side of his eye and sees Veralion's lips start to curl as he begins to snarl and he pulls out his sword. Sevious quickly puts his hand to Veralion's hand as it's on the hilt of his sword. "Don't bother with them...I'll deal with them. Put your sword up.", Sevious says to Veralion. Veralion hesitates but slowly sheaths his sword again. "If you allow me to walk down then I will show you the proof of my origin. And I travel with orcs because their leader is my friend. If you have a problem with it then you will have some trouble on your hands.", Sevious says to them.
The guard nods and says, "Very well. You can come down but your friends must stay up there for now. Hurry down." Sevious walks casually down the walk board and up to the guards. "Now show us your so called proof.", the guard says. Sevious nods and takes off his chest plate revealing his bare chest. He turns around and on his right shoulder is the symbol of Darishnia, a Blue Dragon with swords in each scaley hand and deep blue eyes. The guards nods and bows down on one knee. "I'm sorry my lord. I hadn't the foggiest idea who you were. One now a days up here can not be so sure who anyone is from the seas....We've been raided lately by some strange new creatures....they call themselves Orcaens....they've raided by sea and by land outside the walls lately...even some barbarians have came to our gates pleading for us to let them in. So why have you come North then?", the guards says.
"I forgive you...but for now...I will tell you why we've come. We have come up here to fight...these orcaens you claim that have raided you...I will explain to you and all your people later...but first we must be allowed clearance to see your king.", Sevious says to the guard. "Very well Sir Helios. We grant you the clearance. But we must warn you...he has been very "shakey" lately since the raids started. Perhaps you can talk him out of his nervous state.", the guard says,"We will go and inform him of your arrival. Get all your friends to come with you now. We need to make hast. Until then you are free to roam about the town if you wish. You have a few hours before we come back and escort you to the king. Meet back here with us in four hours. Until then, good day Sir Helios, Veralion, Ezorock, Boremier, and Fortinbris.", the guard says to the others. Him and the others walk away towards a magnificient castle the towers above the other buildings at the end of town.
Sevious turns around and looks up at the others. "Let's all meet back here in four hours. Or you can stay here. I'm leaving to explore town a bit. I want to see what the shops sell here and the such. Good day to you all.", Sevious says to the others. Sevious walks down the wooden docks and enters town leaving the others to do as they wish. "The time's coming...", Sevious says to himself as he walks on. He enters the town square and looks around. "Very soon. Such a pity to think...that Kalamon wants to destroy humans...and perhaps enslave the others...", Sevious mumbles again...He spots a jewelry shop by a wonderous fountain in the middle of town and walks up to it. A sign on it reads "Soun's finely crafted Jewelry and candles". He walks up to it and tries to open the door but it's locked. "Hmph...", Sevious thinks. He turns back around and looks up at the castle.
The white stone of the towering castle looks fairly new and the draw bridge is one of the latest additions to it it seems. Sevious takes one last glimpse at it and walks around for four hours. He then walks back towards the docks after four hours of walking around. As he arrives he sees the guards there again. "It is time...sir Helios.", the guard says,"If all of you will please follow me." Sevious nods and the others get up from their places up on the ship and walk down onto the dock. They then walk up the stone paved roads towards the main gate of the castle and then up towards the draw bridge and moat. The cross the moat and enter a grand court yard. "We are almost to the throne room.", the guard says. After a little while longer they end up in a giant room in front of a middle aged king. "We appear before you my lord. This is his kingship, King Prean. Sire, these are your visitors, Sir Sevious Helios, Veralion, Fortinbris Bloodhearte, Ezorock, and Boremier.", the guard says,"Do you have any questions for the king?" Sevious turns towards the others and says,"Go on and ask him if you do, Veralion, Bloodhearte, Ezorock, or Boremier." Sevious waits for the others to respond.
"When we dock, we will go and see the king. We must speak with him...but the problem is...getting to see him. I'm sure his gaurds won't let anyone in...hmm.", Sevious says to the others. The ship sails slowly over the waves as the wind blows the sails.

The ship rolls into the dock and suddenly stops as three bloodskulls pick up the anchor and drop it over the side into the water. Two of those three run over to the side of the ship that faces the dock and pick up a walking board. They then connect the ship to the dock with it creating a walkway.
Several human guards in full armor come running up to the ship with spears drawn. "Who are ye to dock in our kingdom without permission?!", one of the guards shouts up into the ship. Sevious walks over to the side and responds,"Who are we you ask? Hmm. It seems you don't treat visitors to kindly. Allow me to clarify who we are. I am Sir Sevious Helios, Knight of the round of the kingdom of Darishnia. This orc her beside me is Veralion. He is the leader of the Bloodskulls. This is his ship. And this is Ezorock a kind hearted halfling or hobbit if you will. And that is Boremier he also comes from the east from the kingdom of Masmutura. And over there in the shadows is Fortinbris Bloodhearte, the leader of a great cult. He is quite the gentleman if you get to know him.", Sevious takes a breath after introducing themselves and waits for the others to respond.
"A knight you say? Hmm. From Darishnia...That is a kingdom in the east in fact. But how can we be so sure of it? And why would a knight be faring the sea with a bunch of bafoons such as these orcs?", the knight asks. Sevious looks out the side of his eye and sees Veralion's lips start to curl as he begins to snarl and he pulls out his sword. Sevious quickly puts his hand to Veralion's hand as it's on the hilt of his sword. "Don't bother with them...I'll deal with them. Put your sword up.", Sevious says to Veralion. Veralion hesitates but slowly sheaths his sword again. "If you allow me to walk down then I will show you the proof of my origin. And I travel with orcs because their leader is my friend. If you have a problem with it then you will have some trouble on your hands.", Sevious says to them.
The guard nods and says, "Very well. You can come down but your friends must stay up there for now. Hurry down." Sevious walks casually down the walk board and up to the guards. "Now show us your so called proof.", the guard says. Sevious nods and takes off his chest plate revealing his bare chest. He turns around and on his right shoulder is the symbol of Darishnia, a Blue Dragon with swords in each scaley hand and deep blue eyes. The guards nods and bows down on one knee. "I'm sorry my lord. I hadn't the foggiest idea who you were. One now a days up here can not be so sure who anyone is from the seas....We've been raided lately by some strange new creatures....they call themselves Orcaens....they've raided by sea and by land outside the walls lately...even some barbarians have came to our gates pleading for us to let them in. So why have you come North then?", the guards says.
"I forgive you...but for now...I will tell you why we've come. We have come up here to fight...these orcaens you claim that have raided you...I will explain to you and all your people later...but first we must be allowed clearance to see your king.", Sevious says to the guard. "Very well Sir Helios. We grant you the clearance. But we must warn you...he has been very "shakey" lately since the raids started. Perhaps you can talk him out of his nervous state.", the guard says,"We will go and inform him of your arrival. Get all your friends to come with you now. We need to make hast. Until then you are free to roam about the town if you wish. You have a few hours before we come back and escort you to the king. Meet back here with us in four hours. Until then, good day Sir Helios, Veralion, Ezorock, Boremier, and Fortinbris.", the guard says to the others. Him and the others walk away towards a magnificient castle the towers above the other buildings at the end of town.
Sevious turns around and looks up at the others. "Let's all meet back here in four hours. Or you can stay here. I'm leaving to explore town a bit. I want to see what the shops sell here and the such. Good day to you all.", Sevious says to the others. Sevious walks down the wooden docks and enters town leaving the others to do as they wish. "The time's coming...", Sevious says to himself as he walks on. He enters the town square and looks around. "Very soon. Such a pity to think...that Kalamon wants to destroy humans...and perhaps enslave the others...", Sevious mumbles again...He spots a jewelry shop by a wonderous fountain in the middle of town and walks up to it. A sign on it reads "Soun's finely crafted Jewelry and candles". He walks up to it and tries to open the door but it's locked. "Hmph...", Sevious thinks. He turns back around and looks up at the castle.
The white stone of the towering castle looks fairly new and the draw bridge is one of the latest additions to it it seems. Sevious takes one last glimpse at it and walks around for four hours. He then walks back towards the docks after four hours of walking around. As he arrives he sees the guards there again. "It is time...sir Helios.", the guard says,"If all of you will please follow me." Sevious nods and the others get up from their places up on the ship and walk down onto the dock. They then walk up the stone paved roads towards the main gate of the castle and then up towards the draw bridge and moat. The cross the moat and enter a grand court yard. "We are almost to the throne room.", the guard says. After a little while longer they end up in a giant room in front of a middle aged king. "We appear before you my lord. This is his kingship, King Prean. Sire, these are your visitors, Sir Sevious Helios, Veralion, Fortinbris Bloodhearte, Ezorock, and Boremier.", the guard says,"Do you have any questions for the king?" Sevious turns towards the others and says,"Go on and ask him if you do, Veralion, Bloodhearte, Ezorock, or Boremier." Sevious waits for the others to respond.
Callith walks over to a young elf and asks. " Why is it taking so long, we have about one thousand five hundred out of the entire army. Where are the rest? The young elf turns to look at Callith calmly and replis " Another boat with about five hundred archers is due in three days sir."
Callith takes a deep breath " Three days!!! What part of Urgent do these people don't understand, we may be elfs, but this is a matter we don't have time with. It'll take us three days to journey north with the whole fleet. We leave as soon as they arrive. Tell them to prepare for battle, by the time we land in the north, no doubt we wont have time to rest." He orders. " Yes sir! " The young one replys before running off to send messages.

King Prean looks down at Ezorock and says,"hmm. You want to know what these things look like? Words can not describe them...it's even as if they come from another realm...like they are not of origin in this world. They are very similar to Orcs though...", Prean says to Ezorock. Sevious shakes his head and looks up at Prean. "Sire...If you wish not to talk of them then I shall tell him what he is up against.", Sevious says. King Prean nods and says, "Very well. Make it quick though. I want to answer any other questions you might have. Then I have a few of my own as well." Sevious nods and turns to Ezorock.
"Ezorock...Orcaens are from another realm...There leader is Kalamon. You may remember me telling you of him from my childhood stories. He is back...this time with an army and as a lich. He has no flesh...just like the bone lord himself. He's bringing these these tall things with him. The orcaens look like this. They are tall and broad...they are rough and pale skinned and are about six feet tall like I am...although I'm 6'2". They usually use sabres and have thick armor...that is not a disadvantage at all. With their mass and bulk...they move around like you do in leather armor...they wield crossbows as well. You'll find out that each orcaen has his own. They are highly skilled as well with both these weapons...Kalamon has hundreds of thousands...although he may only have tens of thousands here right now...Rumor has it that he has those numbers...and I very much believe them. I hope that answers your question Ezorock...so be prepared for anything.",Sevious says after describing the orcaens to Ezorock.
"Now are there any other questions before I ask mine?", Prean asks the crowd before him. He waits for the others to respond. "Make it quick as well", Prean says again. Sevious waits for anyone else to respond as well.

Already walks into the castle area, chain mail and helmet equipped, wand in hand. Other pieces of necessary equipment lie in his bag. Bloodhearte whispers to Sevious as the king is answering inquiries...
I have been working on my 'ra' rune quite a bit before and during this trip so far, and it may prove useful when we do battle...assuming that they're weak in the eyes of flames, that is. I have also been experimenting with the summoning of demons before I arrived on the ship...it may take a few days to summon a demon and convince it not to kill us, but rather, attack the enemy only...however, this is something that may be achieved by intense studying. If Kalamon refuses to listen to me, I'll give him a taste of his own medicine...
Finally turns away from Sevious, and hides his face from the king using the darkness of his grey cloak. He waits for the questions to be answered by the king, before he asks one...

King Prean gazes down at Boremier and thinks a moment. "Not that I really know of. The name may ring a bell later but as of now I have no recollection of such a person.", King Prean says to Boremier. "Now if you don't have any more questions. I have some of my own. Why have you five come to my kingdom up here in the far North? I'm curious. Does it have to do with this orcaen creatures?", King Prean asks.
Sevious looks at Bloodhearte and whispers back,"Summoning demons....That's not such a good idea...for they are untamable....they kill anything in their path...if you summoned it in the middle of our army. It'd kill us...and Kalamon...he has a great power of persausion and would convince the demon that He is it's master in a matter of minutes." Sevious then looks back up at the king and says,"We have come North..to do battle with Kalamon. He is on a conquest...for the bone lord himself. He is here to take the world of Illarion by storm...and then summon Moshran to this realm with a world waiting to be led by him....I'm here to stop him with the others here as well. It is said that Kalamon can only be defeated by one with a pure heart. Hmm. Some think I have such a thing...I suppose it is my destiny to face off against him sometime."
He peers back at the others and then back up the king again. "They I guess...were sort of dragged into this whole mess when I arrived on an island far South of here known as Trollsbane. I admire their courage they are taking in coming up here North with I...for we could all find ourselves dead in the snow on a bloody battlefield...or perhaps assassinated right here where we stand. As for the Orcaens...they are coming here in great numbers with Kalamon to fight against us all...one of Kalamon's ultimate goals is for the destruction of the human race. He wants as all whiped out because of things from the past....As of now we have nothing else to say. Well I don't at least.", Sevious says. The king nods and says,"Very well. In that case let us head to the great dining hall here we will have a meal...and discuss about things such as what to do..."
King Prean stands up from his throne and walks down the steps from his throne with four guards on either side of him. "Follow me, lads", he states to them. Sevious and the others follow him down to a great dining hall with a humungous table that could seat a good 40 people. "Have a seat. As guests of this kingdom, you are of honor.", King Prean says to the others. Sevious sits down with the others on both sides of the table. King Prean sits at the head of the table and snaps his fingers. Several well dressed servants in white robes walk in with covered dishes of food. They all set them down on the table, lift the lids off of the dishes, and stand back behind the others. "Good job my cooks and servants. I dismiss you to your normal duties.", King Prean says. The servants all take a bow and walk out in single file in which the doors they had come.
Sevious looks down at all the food and awaits for the king to say they can eat. "My lord, do you mind if we start our feast?", Sevious asks. "Hmm? Oh no...not at all. I was just thinking. Go ahead and dig in you five", King Prean says with a smile on his face. Sevious makes a grab for a chicken leg and then sets it on his golden plate that lays before him. After that he picks up a golden bowl with peas in it and takes a few servings of them onto his plate as well. To top off his plate he grabs a dinner roll and sets it down on his plate. Sevious takes a bite out of his chicken leg as he asks King Prean,"Aren't there other inhabitants of the lands up here in the North as well?"
King prean glances at Sevious and responds,"Why yes there is...barbaric human tribes....very disorginized...they don't listen to us...and they are always fighting...they'd never unify...to fight against a great threat such as Kalamon....More than anything they run away like cowards...they need a good leader to unify them...I've tried countless times but yet to no avail. And there are also Dwarfs rumored to be in the mountain ranges of Facias but no human has really ever prooved this to be true...", King Prean says. "Hmm...sounds like the barbarians...are stubborn and blinded by their differances...what do you think we could do to make them see this threat?..", says Sevious. "Why...really...I don't think they would realize it until they are laying in the snow with their stomach and guts ripped open....", King Preans says back trailing off. "Hmm....then we'd have to show them somehow...but how?", Sevious asks.
"Well....like I said I haven't a clue of what to do with them...lately they've been running to the gates of our fair city pleading to be let in for safety....we've let them in so far but our city can only hold so many. I think they would need a man with bravery and firm leadership to unify them...unfortunately I'm not so good in the leadership department.", King Prean says. "Hmm....Well this may sound one sided but...I could give it a go. And the rumors of the dwarves...could be worth investigating...we'd just have to hurry where as....Kalamon is assembling his forces for a massive assault...and soon. We must make haste. After we're done...I say we get some rest...and head out in the morning on horseback to the various tribes and talk with them...and then perhaps ride to Facias and see what we can find there.", Sevious says.
"That would take to much time...how about this. I will send out messengers to the various chiefs of the barbarian tribes with a notice to come here...for an important matter. I'm sure they'll come being as they envy our city...", King Prean says as he takes a spoon of pees of to his mouth and munches on them. "That'd be quicker...when can you send them out?", Sevious asks back. King Prean smiles and snaps his fingers. A man in black armor walks up to him and asks,"Yes my lord?" "Send out six messengers to the six tribes of the north with message that a very important meeting will be held here tommorow morning two hours before high noon. Have the messengers tell them that it is a very important matter and it's about our survival...if we wish to live and keep our lands...", King Prean says. The man in heavy black armor nods and says, "Aye my lord. This will be done as soon as possible." "Good", Prean responds.
"Well now. Are there anymore questions from you silent ones before I head to my sleeping qaurters for the night? Oh and I'm sure you're all exhausted as well. Just ask my servants and they will show you to your rooms. Speak up for we will need all the rest we can get for upcoming events.", King Prean says to Ezorock, Boremier, Fortinbris, and Veralion. Sevious nods and says,"Aye...let's finish our meal and this conversation. If you have questions don't be afraid to ask him."
Sevious looks at Bloodhearte and whispers back,"Summoning demons....That's not such a good idea...for they are untamable....they kill anything in their path...if you summoned it in the middle of our army.

Sevious nods and says,"Aye...let's finish our meal and this conversation. If you have questions don't be afraid to ask him."
Veralion looks up after some hard thinking and looks to the king... "I have something to say!", Veralion says as he slams his hand on the table, shaking most things on it. "Your guards are disrespectful! They are lucky I didn't claim there heads for insulting my crew and I....". Veralion sits back down, and becomes more calm. "I wish to help you all here...for my clan and island is in danger itself." Veralion pulls out a scroll from his bag and sets in on the table for the king. "Incase you havn't heard yet, I am Veralion, leader of the Bloodskull clan and a king myself...of my island of course. As you can see...I can be of good help...But I would like to explore your kingdom here before anything..and also get some rest aboard my ship...please let me know of your thoughts, King Prean...". Veralion swigs some fine brewed beer from his mug and awaits the king's response...

King Prean looks at Veralion and shakes his head. "Hmm. Don't worry about your forces..they really don't need to lose their lives in this fued between us humans and Kalamon. You shouldn't get your people involved in others affairs...Those are my thoughts on your statement.", King Prean says. "Well now...it is time for us to head in and get some rest. Good night all", King Prean announces as he climbs to his feet and walks down and out of the hall. Sevious stands up and a servant comes up to him."Shall I show you to your room sir?", the servant asks. Sevious looks at the others and says,"Get some rest...Yes I am ready to head to a bed..I'm drowsy."
The servant nods and motions for Sevious to follow him. After a ten minute walk Sevious and the servant arrive before a large wooden door. "This is your room for now. Go on in", the servant says as he opens the door. "Thank you", Sevious says as he goes in. The servant asks Sevious if he needs anything. "No thanks. I just wish to sleep.", Sevious says back. The servant nods and says good night and then walks out of the door and down the hall. Sevious takes off all his armor and slips back into his regular clothes and gets under the sheets of the bed. "So comfortable...", Sevious thinks as he begins to close his eyes and dream. Sevious opens his eyes...this time he's not in the bed...
"Look at me Sevious", a familar voice says. Sevious looks up and says,"Wha..?" "Aye...Sevious it is I. Kalamon. Your time and your friends is coming soon. My armies are ready to march. If you succeed in assembling the tribes of barbarians...it won't matter. You'll all die. If I were you I'd run home to your little community on the island. They too weill die. There is no escape from my power Sevious", Kalamon says, "Here's a same vision You've had before...take a look at your future Sevious..." Sevious blinks once or twice and suddenly before him...he finds himself in the middle of a battle....Right in front of him is..Kalamon. With a glowing red sword. As before...the sword comes flying down and into Sevious' chest. Sevious flinches as he blinks again and the vision is gone. "You see...you can not beat me...with just your heart. You're missing something...and to bad that you'll never find out what it is.", Kalamon says as he begins to fade away...voices continue to flow through his head. "What am I missing?", Sevious asks himself again over and over.......

Sevious Helios wakes up in the morning from his sleep and looks around. His back is soar from tossing and turning all night. He holds it as he sits up in the bed and looks around. Light shines into the room from the beautifuly decorated windows. He stands up and stretches out his muscles and then turns to his armor. "Today is the day... the leaders of the barbaric peoples are coming..", Sevious thinks aloud. Sevious walks over to his armor and puts it on himself. Soon afterwards he stretches and walks outside the door looking up and down the hallway. A servant walks by and a few seconds later another one does as he heads up the hallyway. Sevious shrugs and walks to the throne room.
There King Prean sits upon his throne with two advisors on his side speaking with him. King Prean notices Sevious and puts a finger up to silence his advisors. "Good morning Sevious. How'd you rest?", King Prean asks. "I slept fine...well...for the most part it was comfortable. I sort of..moved around in the bed alot last night.", Sevious responds. "Really? Hmm. Are the beds that lumpy?", King Prean asks aloud. "It's not that King Prean. I was just having a dream...nothing to worry about. Where are the others?", Sevious asks.
"They are all elsewhere. Shall I summon for them.", King Prean asks. "Yes...do that. We need them all here and soon.", Sevious says. King Prean nods and says,"Very well. Send out messengers for Boremier, Ezorock, Veralion, and Fortinbris. Have them appear before this throne with Sevious. Make it quick." The advisor nods and walks down the steps. "Now we await", Sevious says. King Prean nods, "Aye. Now we wait." Sevious and King Prean wait for the arrival of others.
There King Prean sits upon his throne with two advisors on his side speaking with him. King Prean notices Sevious and puts a finger up to silence his advisors. "Good morning Sevious. How'd you rest?", King Prean asks. "I slept fine...well...for the most part it was comfortable. I sort of..moved around in the bed alot last night.", Sevious responds. "Really? Hmm. Are the beds that lumpy?", King Prean asks aloud. "It's not that King Prean. I was just having a dream...nothing to worry about. Where are the others?", Sevious asks.

I understand, Sevious. Experimentation isn't such a perfect idea for a mission as important as this one...
At night, during the rest of Bloodhearte, he too has a dream...Kalamon persuades him during the battle, as he holds his glowing red sword at Sevious...to join him, for reaching the goal of awakening Moshran would draw nearer. He asks Fortinbris to kill Sevious himself...he takes hands, aims them at Sevious, as he grins while flames burst from his palms...startled, Bloodhearte wakes up...
I must not...never...my mission is to stop you, Kalamon...
Bloodhearte, more of an introvert due to his dreams, begins to talk less. He is now in the throne room in the shadows, arms crossed and head looking down.

Boremier was already dressed in his armour when the messenger arrived. It was as if Boremier was ready for something but what?
Boremier hears what the messenger has to say he reply's with :"I will go immedeitly"
Boremier sets out to the King Preans palace He arrives and looks over at Sevious and just mosions his hand in a "hello" fashion for some reason Boremier did not talk much when he awaited Ezorock and Veralion.

A messanger approaches Veralions quarters at a brisk pace. He respectfully knocks on the door and calls for Veralion. He gets no reply and just continues to tell of the kings request to meet them and then leaves....
Meanwhile, the castle doors slam open and Veralion treads in with his dark black clothing and his splint and chain mail covering most of his body. His large sword can be seen strapped to his back and a small dagger is sheathed on his waist. His fine black hair is pulled back into a braid and tied with elven string. A Bloodskull warrior follows at an angle behind him. He leers at the gaurds he passes at then at he king. He looks at Servious and says in his low voice, "Sorry I am late...I had to do some business in the city. I hope you don't mind if I bring on of my clansmen with me... So when do we leave??"
Veralion stands next to Helios and waits for everyones decision...
