To the East....
Moderator: Gamemasters
Two hours later, the elven force of one thousand nine hundred and fifty strong march out of the ships, much to the surprise of the people watching the odd vessels who only saw twenty five humans leave one. Callith at the head of the line march upon Thasis and wait at the gates. Thirty men run forward, and blow horns at the same time, signaling their arrival.

Armil, Impatient at the delay, decides to go on the ship that is heading out, tonight, still hoping that the sphere may be activated. Saying goodbye to all his freiends. He gets on the ship and starts loading many of his possestins onto it, still wishing he could say goodbye in person to Malline, and frustrated that the orb hasn't been activated. He loads many Elven relics onto the ship. And gets settled in. Starting to write a letter to Malline.
After a long good bye to her freinds, Moathia along with Boromier and Myers board the ship, and start to unpack, after dumping the chest of things she brought in her room, she goes to find the ship captain, when she finds him he bows. "M'lady, tis a pleasure to see you once more. " he says, "It's a pleasure to see you again, Niriath, and once more, you are the head of my personal gaurd. Moathia replies " I was upset when you sent the orders to disband, but when I recived your letter to reform the forces and bring the gaurds who are still loyal to you back, for one last time, I done things as quickly as I could. " He tells her. "Thank you, now that everyone is aboard, we must go quickly, I got a dove from Lord Callith with a map, to the safe route which will get us past Kalamon's armada, but we must hurry, we must arrive before Kalamon begins his attack." She says and hands the map to the captain. " Yes M'lady. it'll take us a day, and with luck it will be a safe passage with this route. Go and get some rest, you'll need it later. " He says with a little smiles. " I will, good night Niriath." She says and walks to her room, and lays down on her bed, and thinks about everything that has happened, and is about to happen, before falling asleep.

Sevious gets up from the side of Morgaine a little late in the day and stretches. He sees that most of the elves on the ship have left. He looks down and still sees that he has no clothes on. "I really need to get something on...", Sevious thinks. He sees Scran scratching on the ground in the words 'hurry'. He shrugs and walks around the deck looking for something. He manages to come across something. A small dagger laying there on the ground. He crouches down and picks up the elven dagger and straps it to his belt. "Well...I guess Callith already left...it's time to ride to the next town and to start getting some men back to Thaisis.", Sevious says aloud.
He walks down to the sigamer stable again and meets the same man as before. "Hello Sir Helios. Do you need a steed again?", he asks. "Aye I do...it'll help greatly.", Sevious says. "Alright then sir. Have the same one. I hope he's not giving you any trouble.", the man says. "Oh he's quite a good horse. Of course I wish I could ride Hevana again.", Sevious says grinning. "Hevana, sir?", the man asks. "A female horse. She's quite magnificent. A beautiful white horse...", Sevious says trailing off. "Well here ye are sir. Take good care of him.", the man says bringing out a steed to Sevious. He hands the rope to him and Sevious jumps up onto his bare back.
"Thank you sir. I'll be off now.", Sevious says putting his hand up to his forehead and saluting the man. He kicks the side of the horse and the horse starts to gallop fast. Sevious hangs on the rope as the horse speeds away. About ten minutes later he arrives to the same crossroads between Sigamer and Thaisis. He turns right and rides to a town called 'Gilvendell". Sevious rides for about five minutes and comes into a small town. He stops the horse in the middle of town and looks around. Several people are walking around while most of them are in their houses hiding. Sevious cups his mouth and shouts,"Hear me out citizens of Gilvendell. As you know...a very evil force is coming...we must prepare! We need all the men we can. Bring your families out of their homes and come to Thaisis for cover! We must get going now!", Sevious says shouting.
A moment later several men and women stick their heads out their doors and go back in. A few minutes later after that a lot of men and women with children walk out of their homes. "Where to again sir?", a man asks Sevious. "Thaisis. It's the safest place at these times. I suggest you hurry.", Sevious says. The man nods and so do others as the begin to walk down the road. "I'll ride ahead...I must return to Thaisis.", Sevious says. He kicks the steeds side again and the horse rides off swiftly. Fifteen minutes later they arrive at the gate of Thaisis. Dusk is upon the city. The guards let Sevious in again and one man says,"A thousand or so elves arrived...they're in the town square...just standing there...", the guard says.
Sevious rides on in not saying anything back. The gates close behind him slowly. He rides into the town sqaure and looks around slowly. He sees Callith at the front and rides for him. "Get your men ready...our main forces are coming in from towns all around...messengers were sent to them...this city is going to be packed...be prepared...", Sevious says as he rides for the castle. He hops off the horse and walks in slowly. King Sirean looks down as Sevious approaches his thrown again. "Ah...hello Sir Helios. Did you get enough rest?", King Sirean says. "Aye I did...", Sevious says. "Good..good....well...I've decided we will go with your plan...you're right...it's the last chance to beat him. Good thinking.", King Sirean says. "Thank you sir.", Sevious says.
"Oh...Sevious you still haven't found any armor? Well I suggest you go to the armory and pick up some things. Anything you want you can use...", King Sirean says. "Well...I got a question first...do you know the Wrym's tooth? The sword that Sir Edron used thirteen years ago?", Sevious asks. "Aye that I do.", King Sirean says. "Where is it?", Sevious asks. "It is here in the castle. It is concealed in a vault. Why do you ask?", King Sirean asks back. "I ask...because I want to use it...", Sevious says. "Use it? Hmm...well...I don't know...it's a relic...", King Sirean says. "It may not be one if Kalamon takes this city...I ask again...can I use it?", Sevious says. "Alright...you can....but be careful...I heard if it is used in the wrong hands it will be used against it's bearer.", Kign Sirean says. "I will be..", Sevious says nodding.
He slowly heads off towards the armory to get his armor on...

Armil after writing a letter comes up from the cabin he selected and attatches it to a dove he borrowed from one of his freinds. Saddened by the idea of leaving the island, but determinede to go to avenge Salathes death, and to find awensers to his past, and to find peace within himself. He lets the dove go, one last time he glances at the buildings of the town before returning to his cabin. A few hours later he lays a chainmail mat down above a layer of cloth along with an Iron block that serves as an anvil, and has someone summon up a magical fire inside of a Iron box, and then proceeds to start to smith some weapons for the trip. Thinking while he works into the night, he thinks of his past, the sadness in it, and what he will think when he finds what is left of his hometown. His face glowing red from staring into the fire as he works, he starts to make iron tips for arrows that have a hollow inside for storing flammable fluid, then on to battle axes, he works for many hours into the night, after a while he tires, and heads in for the night, putting out the fire and leaving the rest set up, along with a sword he had worked on for many years, the hilt ornate with a space for an orb of magical nature nature to fit in, a blade made out of forged steel, he bought from a mechant city years before, the metal gleamed from a tiny layer of diamond powder forged into the top the sword, now just needed to be enchanted by a powerful sorcerer, and it would becom a weapon of legend, something very rare and special, the perfect weapon, to avenge Salathes death with. Along side there is an flail that armil had been working on throught the long hours of the nighr, it had mant holes for spikes in it, but along side of it there are only two spikes almost double the normal that read "Paul Laffing" on one and "Salathe Kankas" on the other.

Armil has a nightmare of a feirce battle and of Slalathe, he comes up on deck and sees some wood drifting in the water, after seeing a tunic with the colors of the men that were with Sevious's ship, Armil immedatly yells "Stop, stop the boat!" he goes an starts knocking and yelling at Moathia's door, he then quickly runs up on deck and helps drop the anchor. Armil then asks Niriath,"Are there any lisardmen on board, I just found the remains of the ship Sevious was on." Armil then goes and stands and stares over the side of the ship, staring into the depths Armil mumbles, "Can't be more that 40 feet down."
Moathia walks out of her cabin in a night dress, and she looks at Amril," What, no there is not a lizardmen on board, Sevious's ship sank, but the surviors were picked up by the elven boats, they went on to the port. We can't have anymore than ten hours travel, I'm going back for some more sleep." Moathia walks carfully down, holding her night dress and walks back into her cabin.

Sevious walks into the armory and looks around holding his head. He peers at the armor of what he could wear. His eyes run across chain mail, plate armor, and various others. Sevious walks up to one of the racks with chain mail laying on it with the Darishnian emblem on it. Sevious picks it up and slowly puts it over himself. He looks around at the helmets. He glances from left to right looking for just the right helmet. Sevious spots just a helmet. He walks up to it and slowly picks it up ispecting it. A thought hits him. "This...is...like my fathers...helmet...", Sevious says staring at it.
A tear rolls down his cheek as memories of him and his father flashes through his head. One of when he was seven. Him and his father walked along the ocean. His father told him things, things about life. About what he would need to know to survive in the world. "Sevious, if you are to grow up to be a nice young man. There are several things you need to learn...how to treat a lady, how to cook, how to keep up with your work.", his father says in his flashback. "But father...I don't plan on getting married or falling in love! That's just for sissies! All I want to do is become a noble knight like you!", a little Sevious says. His father chuckles and puts his hand on Sevious' shoulder.
"You do that. But sooner or later. You'll fall in love. It happens to us all at least one time in our lives. And other things will be in store for you as well. I'm sure you will grow up to be a great knight", his father says. Sevious flashes his father a curious glance as they continue to walk on down the shore. Sevious blinks once or twice as he whipes his face off. "This is for you father...I won't let you down.", Sevious says putting the helmet on. The helmet covers his nose and the top of his head. He walks over to the weapons and shields rack and gazes at the various weapons. "It's almost time...to fight..", Sevious thinks to himself as he pulls out a round shield and straps it to his left arm.
He gazes over at the spears and pulls out one. He stands up straight and walks over to the window to look at his reflection. He stares at himself in the armor. He takes a quick glance and walks back to the door that he had entered. There stands a man, dressed in armor, armor of that of high respect. He holds a strange weapon in his hands. A sword....the wrym's tooth. "Here you are...you requested this weapon. King Sirean told me to give it to you. So here you are.", the man says handing Sevious the Wrym's tooth. "Thank you...", Sevious says. The man nods and turns around walking down the hallway.
Sevious walks out and into the courtyard. He walks down throught the draw bridge and peers at the elves still standing there. He walks past them and walks all the way to the side of town. He walks up some stairs onto the wall facing the sea. He peers out at the sea as the sun rises far up into the sky. "It's almost time...", Sevious says. "Yes it is...", says a familar voice. Sevious turns around and looks around trying to see where the owner of the voice is. "It is almost time...for you to fight, and save your kingdom...your world.", says them man again. "Father?", Sevious says. "Aye. It is I. I'm here. I'm always here...watching...", the man says as he peers right in front of Sevious in a ghostly form.
Sevious slowly puts his hand up to his father's. His hand goes right through him. "You can only see me, my son.", his father says. "Why do you...show up now?", Sevious asks. "To guide you...you are confused...and afterwards you will be confused...you'll see when the time comes...but I'm here to clear the confusion for now. What you choose and do from after this will be your own decisions.", his father says to him smiling warmly. "What must I do?", Sevious says. "You must...be brave. You must do as your heart says. Follow your instincts as a human. You are a human of the human race...a race of emotions...a race that is different from the others...one man alone...decides his fate with his actions. Be brave my son...do what you must to get things done.", his father says.
"I will...I understand....", Sevious says. "Then what do you want to know or wish?", his father asks. "I wish...for you, if you can, to appear before Moathia...tell her the time is coming...I'll be waiting for her.", Sevious says. "Aye..I will do that...I must go now my son...good luck...and remember I'm always with you.", his father says fading away. "Farewell father...", Sevious says as his eyes water. His father fades away and Sevious turns back out over the sea. He watches and waits patiently.
In Moathia's dream, a vague figure calls her name. "Moathia...can you hear me?", the man says. "I'm here. To help you. Sevious wishes to see you at least one more time before the battle. And afterwards. As I said before. If he survives...he'll have a tough decision. To decide between two things. You know what they are. It will happen.", the man says. "Is there anything you wish to know?", he asks Moathia as he waits.

"Is there anything you wish to know?", he asks Moathia as he waits.
Malinne finally realizes that another of her dear friends has left to the sea. She walks through the woods to her favorite fishing spot to the east of Trollsbane wearing the beautiful dress and amulett that Armil made for her before he left. She listens quietly and stares out over water watching the waves foam, while she wonders how he is doing...
"I didn't get to see you again before you left..." she seems to be saying to herself. "Come back alive, all of you, and do not be away for too long... I hope you find what you are looking for."
Malinne stands there awhile waiting, holding a letter that Armil wrote to her before he left. She loses touch with reality again and lets it slip from her gentle grasp and drift into the sea. A violently cold breeze sends a sudden chill throughout her body making her alertness return. With one last glance over the ocean's water, she wraps her robe tightly around herself and heads back to town.

Armil dissappointed at the news of no lisardman, tells the captain to get a chain and that it will only take a few more minutes. A few minutes later two men bring a long, small chain up on deck, Armil tells them to tie one end to the boat and throw the other end overboard. Armil dives in to the depths of the ocean following the chaing down, pulling himself down with the chain he reaches the bottom whitch to his surprise is only 25 feet deep. He notices Salathes body, thinking to himself aout bringing Salathe's body back to the island, he finlially swims with the chain over to Salathe's body and ties it arouns Salathes waist. He tugs on the chain as the signal to pull back up. But Armil soon realises that he only has stale air left in his lungs, and starts to panic, as a reflex he sucks in water into his lungs he grips the chain as hard as he can, the two men pulls the lifeless body of Salathe up on deck, and Armil, still alive, a few more seconds and he would have suffocated. Armil starts coughing up seawater from his lungs, and lets out a gasp,"GO," he manages to say before he passes out.

Many hours have passed since Morgaine has received Armil's orb out of Sevious Helios hands. All along she had been praying silently and whispering some incantations to the orb, preparing for the contact to be established.
After such a long preparations she was wondering if she would solve this little miracle. Suddenly she smiles - she lets her mind wander of into the streets of Trolls Bane - there she walks withsomeone she had been spending all of her time in the near past.
"Aye, I need this little brake before I can commence", she thinks to herself and lets her mind wander a little longer.
Sevious Helios had been at her side twice - she would have very much loved to talk to him. Through the prayers and incantations that she was whispering to the orb over and over again she had fallen in some trance and could not free herself of it.
Morgaine shakes her head with a smile "Silly me, I should have known better than that". This time she places the orb right before herself and commands her thoughts toward Armil. Her concentration must not fail her.
"Armil - I seek thee... Armil answer me... Armil, it is I, Morgaine... Armil - I seek thee... Armil answer me... Armil, it is I, Morgaine..."

Armil bolts upright from his bed, he is now inside his cabin on the ship, someone must have put him there after he passed out. Iw was quies but he could hear his name being called from somewhere in the room. He then realizes that the linking stone has been activated he pulls it out of his pocket and sees that is is glowing, smiling with delight,"Morgaine, is that you, is some one there," he says. "Armil it is I Morgaine, I have gotten the orb to work, " is replied. Armil speaks into orb, "Wait just a second." Armil then quickly speaks a chant. Armils sences start to dull and he starts to not have any senses at all.
---
A few moments later he regains his sight he is on a different ship now, he can only see and hear whet is going on around him, along with able to move, and speak. Scran flies down and tries to land on Armils shoulder to the hawks dismay, Scran goes through the illusion of Armil and skids with a screeching sound on the floor of the boat. "So I see you've activate the stone, I am oviusly just an Illusin right now, just one of the powers of this stone. I will now instruct you how to charge the orb to open a portal," Armil explains. Then Armil explains how to operate the orb's portal ability, he then also thells his freinds on the boat that he has recovered Salathe's body. A short while after, he tells morgaine to activate the stone in two hours, giving him time to collect a few things and say goodbye to everyone on the ship.
---
Back on the ship Armil stores the smithing kit he set up the previous night in his cabin, he suits up in armour from his stockpile and grabs the long sword he finished smithing the night before, he then grabs one of the weapons from his stash of relics, a powerful long bow, bade out of the strongest of elven trees, with a string made out of the toughtst of sinew, and with iron smithed around the ends of the bow, that have spikes on the end, the bow is enchanted by a powerful elven wisard, a weapon of legend, as some refered to weapons of this quality. He puts a sword in sheath, one he bought from the local merchant, whitch he added some modifacations to, it now held a dagger on the side and had a small pouch for arrows, whitch he put the specially designed arrows that could catch fire when they were shot. (a flint rock mounted to part of the bow that struck the tip when it launches, not actually a permant part of the bow.) and on the other sied of his body he straps a longsword in a sheath, his father gave it to him when he was young. He then straps the bow to his back along with some arrows he bought from his freind Drathe. He then walks out of his cabin ready for battle and says goodbye. After returning to his cabing he locks it, and gets ready to open the portal that would take him directly to his destination.

Scran flies down and tries to land on Armils shoulder to the hawks dismay, Scran goes through the illusion of Armil and skids with a screeching sound on the floor of the boat. "So I see you've activate the stone, I am oviusly just an Illusin right now, just one of the powers of this stone. I will now instruct you how to charge the orb to open a portal," Armil explains. Then Armil explains how to operate the orb's portal ability, he then also thells his freinds on the boat that he has recovered Salathe's body. A short while after, he tells morgaine to activate the stone in two hours, giving him time to collect a few things and say goodbye to everyone on the ship.

Back on the ship Armil stores the smithing kit he set up the previous night in his cabin, he suits up in armour from his stockpile and grabs the long sword he finished smithing the night before, he then grabs one of the weapons from his stash of relics, a powerful long bow, bade out of the strongest of elven trees, with a string made out of the toughtst of sinew, and with iron smithed around the ends of the bow, that have spikes on the end, the bow is enchanted by a powerful elven wisard, a weapon of legend, as some refered to weapons of this quality. He puts a sword in sheath, one he bought from the local merchant, whitch he added some modifacations to, it now held a dagger on the side and had a small pouch for arrows, whitch he put the specially designed arrows that could catch fire when they were shot. (a flint rock mounted to part of the bow that struck the tip when it launches, not actually a permant part of the bow.) and on the other sied of his body he straps a longsword in a sheath, his father gave it to him when he was young. He then straps the bow to his back along with some arrows he bought from his freind Drathe. He then walks out of his cabin ready for battle and says goodbye. After returning to his cabing he locks it, and gets ready to open the portal that would take him directly to his destination.

Armil starts to think about what he has done, and starts to think that Salathe was meant to rest at the bottom of the sea, Armil starts to feel so bad about what he did bring salathe back up, he decides to never speak of it again. Armil goes down to the cargo hold and carries Salathes body up on deck, saddened at what he did, he says farewell, and slides Slalathe's body overboard and watches it sink to the depths of the ocean. Armil quietly says, "May you rest in peace." Armil sits and meditates, and prays that Salathes spirt wasn't disturbed by what he did.

Morgaine is not sure, if two hours have passed since she had been talking to Armil. Twas quite useful to hear from him how she was supposed to open this portal.
She looks curious at the stone "Such a small thing and yet it holds such powers...".
With a sigh she throws it into the air and recites an incantation of the old. Before her eyes a greenish portal opens and the orb seem to float right above it "Like the peak of a mountain", Morgaine thinks to herself.

Armil noticing the stone glow bright with swirling colors, says a chant to activate the portal from his side he steps through with the stone in his hand, along with his armour and weapons (Very heavy.) and comes throught the portal at the other side, only to fall 15 feet to the ground, he lands infront of Morgaine hurt badly from the fall, but nothing broken, just dazed and a lot ob bruizes, and bleeding a little from a wut above the eye, he looks up at Morgaine and mutters, "It worked."

Sevious turns from the sea and brushes his flowing hair out of his face. He walks over the wall to the front of Thaisis to where the battle will take place. He sighs and waits patiently for something to happen. He waits and watches. Several hours go by and Sevious does not budge. He keeps staring out with his mind blank. Suddenly he comes to his senses as he hears some marching. "Oh no...already?", Sevious thought to himself drawing the wrym's tooth. He sheaths it back up when he sees what is coming. Several thousand darishnian men march towards Thaisis with their banners in the air. Nearly six thousand men. Sevious tands up straight and watches them come to the side gate.
The guards yell for the gate to be opened. Sevious walks over towards the side wall again and watches the men come in. Each man stands in a line formation will full body armor on. Several hundred horsemen come riding in after. As soon as all of them are in town. The gates are closed. "This is our army?", Sevious thinks to himself. "It has grown over the past year...but...it's not enough.", he thinks. He turns back towards the sea again staring out into the sea. Waiting for the certain person to show up. His eyes glimmer as the sun begins to set for the night. His sword in his right hand touching the ground and his shield in his left while his spear rests on his back....

In Moathia's dream, she makes out the old man talking and replies "I will see Sevious again, I promise, I will, do I nede to know anything else, I don't know, you have to tell me." She says, as a shout from the captain wakes her from her sleep. "We have docked by the rest of the elvenships, everyone prepare to leave" He shouts. "Dam, how could I sleep so long, she shouts, and grabs her chest of things, taking out the riding clothes she had made of thick wool before she left town, quickly throwing them on, along with her boots, and old cloak, with the hiden sword and dagger like the last time she wore it. Swining it on as she walks out her room, she see's Myers and Boromier, already saddled and waiting outside the ship with most of her gaurds. She orders a crew man to take her chest and put it on the back of a luggage horse, she see's the captain waiting beside a brown horse with white legs and a white spot on her forehead, "Arautalwi, you brought her" Moathia says smiling, "Yes M'lady" he replies and walks off to his own horse " Captain, I'm going to ride on ahead, I have to get there quickly." She shouts as she kicks her heals into the horse causing it to gallop off at high speed towards Thasis. With the rest of the group traveling at a slower pace.

Sevious turns in again and looks out over the side gate of Thaisis. His hand is on the hilt of his sword wile he watches the road for something to happen. He begins to feel, by the wind, and by the ground, that someone is approaching. He then feels not to far from that person, several others are coming. "More men perhaps...", Sevious says to himself gazing out over the horizen. A horse with a cloaked figure comes into view. Sevious gazes at the figure trying to make out who it is. He then turns his attention to the side as he sees four lizard things with four orcaens riding ahead. "What?!", Sevious says to himself.
He quickly turns his attention back to the figure on the horse. "Oh no! They're in danger!", Sevious says as he runs down the steps and looks around for something with his sword still ready in his hands. He sees a man rolling by on a horse and quickly jumps in his way. The horse jumps up from the shock of Sevious in front of him and causes the man to fly off. Sevious grabs the horse's neck and hops on it's back. He kicks it hard and the horse runs at full speed towards the gate. "Open the gate! Now!", Sevious shouts to the guards. The guards hurry to push it open. Sevious knocks the doors open before there is a chance to get through with the horse.
The horse runs fast out towards the Kangliers and Orcaens before they hit the cloaked figure. Sevious holds his sword up ready to strike the orcaens. He gets a glimpse of the cloaked figures face. "Moathia?", Sevious says as he rides on towards the four riders. Sevious pulls his sword up to his chest and then slashes at the first one as he comes in range. The orcaen blocks it with it's cleaver and slashes at Sevious' leg. Sevious moves his leg just in time as the horse jumps out of the way. Sevious quickly swipes the orcaen's head off in one cut. He quickly jabs the Kanglier it rode with his sword in it's head. It falls to the ground dead and Sevious yanks the Wrym's tooth out of it's head.
He blocks another swipe from another orcaen on his others side with his shield. He uses his left arm and knocks the orcaen in the head with his shield. The orcaen falls to the ground and gets trampled by his Kanglier. Sevious quickly stabs the Kanglier in the side and jerks the sword down causing it's stomach to rip open. He looks at the other two as the run towards Moathia. Sevious grips the horse's reigns and turns it towards the two Kangliers. He jerks his spear off his back and takes aim at one of the Kangliers. He uses all his might and throws the spear straight at the Kangliers head causing it to fall down and it's owner to fly out and hit the ground. The orcaen rider is knocked uncouncsious.
The last one raises it's sword and readies itself to swipe at Moathia. Sevious quickly stands up on his horse while the horse moves in towards the other two. As soon as he is in range he jumps at the orcaen. He knocks the orcaen off the Kanglier and stabs him quickly in the heart. The Kanglier turns to Sevious instead of Moathia and slowly walks over to him with saliva coming out of it's mouth and it's mouth wide open with rows of sharp teeth. Sevious, struggles to get the orcaens body off him. But it's to late...the Kanglier is already two feet away from him....

Moathia wheels her horse around and charges the side of the Kanglier, drawing a bladed staff, and ramming it into the Kanglier's chest. "Get up, and hurry, before more of them arrive, you shouldn't have come out here, my horse is faster than them, now come on, into town " She tells him, and starts to ride slowly to the gates.

Sevious gets up and brushes himself off. He bends down and picks his sword up and looks up at Moathia who is heading for the gate. "It was only a scout squad...", Sevious says sarcasticaly. He walks towards the gates that are still open and follows her in. When he catches up to her he looks up at her and says, "You came alone? And what do you plan on doing here...you know it's going to be dangerous out there when the battle begins...we've only about four or three days left..." He sheaths his sword and walks alongside her and her horse towards the castle. When they get there he offers his hand to help her down. "Also...what do you think of Thaisis?", Sevious asks. "Oh...and thanks for doing that out there. You just saved my life.", Sevious says smiling warmly up to her.

"It'd be a great place to live. Moathia. I got a question...when this battle is over...and I survive...what will you do? Head back to Troll's bane?", Sevious asks with a shaky voice. He looks down at his sword and grips it tightly as he gazes around at the elves that walk around town peering into the human markets and various other human guards and soldiers marching around keeping order in town. Sevious closes his eyes and focuses on the sword. Something suddenly hits his mind and his eyes shoot open. "Oh..", he thinks. He loosens his grip on the wrym's tooth again and smiles at her again.

The battles not to far away...and I don't know...it's something...I closed my eyes to concentrate for a moment on a thought and something flared up in this sword...or in me...I saw some blue light...and that's when I opened my eyes. I don't know exactly. Would you know?", Sevious asks. He looks down at his finger and at his blue birth ring and then back up at Moathia. "Here...I want you to have this. Just in case something happens. It is my birth ring. It was enchanted. When you look into it you can see me. I asked an old mage to enchant it and he did. It shows me a painted portrait of my parents but I altered it slightly to where you can see me.", Sevious says. He pulls the ring off his finger and takes her hand. He puts it in her hand and encloses it.

Sevious chuckles to himself at the voices of the angry wives and embraces Moathia in a hug. He wraps his arms around her tightly and whispers in her ear,"I love you." Shortly after a familar man comes running up the street. Sevious let's Moathia go and looks at him. "Tivel?", Sevious says. "Oh hello Sev. Who's this?", Tivel asks Sevious smiling to Moathia. "This is Moathia Nethiala. She's a priestess of Elara.", Sevious says. "Ah...is she the one that you said on the ship?", Tivel asks smiling sheepishly. "What do you think?", Sevious asks Tivel grinning. "Oh So it is. Nice to meet you m'lady. I hope Sev here treats you well!", Tivel says smiling. "What news do you bring?", Sevious asks Tivel. "A scout just came in. He says they're a few days away from here...they are pillaging and burning everything to the ground on the way...and the storms over the oceans coming in aren't going to do us any good...", Tivel says. "Well...alright...it's almost time.", Sevious says. "I must go and warn the king now. I'll see you later.", Tivel says shaking Sevious' hand and running off towards the castle. Sevious turns towards Moathia and smiles warmly. "Do you want to see something...something beautiful? I know a place we can go...I want you to see something.", Sevious says. "It's up to you.", He says again.

"Come with me.", Sevious says in a low voice to her smiling warmly. "I want you to see every last crack of this place. It's been here for about two millinium...Come with me.", Sevious says slipping his hand into hers and walking her towards the castle. Sevious walks with her up the courtyard where wild flowers grow and various vines litter the courtyard walls. Sevious walks with her up to the main hallway and turns right with her. They walk down a corridor of several suits of armor and beautiful paintings. He takes her up to a spiral stair case that starts to go up. After walking up and up he finally reaches the top. They are on the tallest tower in the whole city. Sevious looks up at the moons that hover through the night sky. Sevious smiles and puts his arm around her shoulder as he points to them. "This is something...isn't it?", Sevious says smiling. He kisses her cheek and watches a meteor shower in the night sky.

Armil, who had been on the docks , had taken his time to write a letter back home and to enclose a pouch with the other linking stone, his injuries healing fast, he gulped the last sip of a bottle of healing potion. Then he, goes to the stables to get a horse, he gets a fairly good steed, and give the man 30 gold for his help. He rides off to the city, about halfway through the ride, Scran swoops down and lands gently on his sholder. He arrives at the city gates and and requests an audience with the king, he waiths over a hour, having mentioning Sevious's name he managed to get a short audience. He pleges his alleigence to the king and asks of anything he can do. ((Sevious, you need to fill in what he has me do.)) The king says he will send orders as soon as he needs help. Armil quickly explains his skills and the usefullnes in scouting of his hawk Scran, along with requesting to be assigned with Moathia or Sevious during his assignments. He then sends the horse back to the stables, and has a messanger inform moathia of him arriving, and that to keep his belongins safe, and if she would request that I have them mooved off the ship. Then he rents a room at the local in and rests.
