The Last Kingdom II

[Angelus]

Dailin stopped Wind and looked around the large plain. There was nothing here he told himself so where could those that had attacked the village be? He had been tracking them for a day or two now and now they had simply vanished?

It wasn't possible, he knew that it wasn't possible. He had been able to track them the entire way, even when they tried to cover their tracks but now this was something else entirely different. He jumped down from Wind and knelt down, picking up some dirt. He ran it through his fingers before he sniffed it and smiled as there was a smell there that was of soot and ash but where could they have gone to?

Fate Takes the Form of an old man ANd walks up behind Dailin

" Well Young man You won't find them boy, They were never there, You have been falowing shadows."

Stalker waited for the young man to speak

[Ravenloft]

Jornan:

"I... I..." Jornan stammered, it was not something that happened to him ever, a woman, any woman asking him to share a meal. "I... Yes, I would like that." He said with a coy smile.

 

[JohnnyWryder]

Armis

"Cute But I think That stutering will git anoying after a wile. So where is A Good Place to eat Around here."
as she waited For An Ansewr She thought to herself *~* He is cute but a littel Nervis Maybe its My Gray skin Or Big Boobs Oh well i am Hungry ANd HWo know May be I Fine Some Fun To Be Had .

 

[Ravenloft]

Jornan:

Laughing nervously over the fact that he had been stuttering, Jornan scratched his head. "The Dragon's Den Inn... They have some of the best food I've ever eaten..." Jornan said with a smile.

 

[Angelus]

Dailin turned quickly at the sound of the old man's voice, his scimitars in his hands.

"What are you talking about old man. How could I have been chasing after shadows. They destroyed a village two days ride from here and you say they are shadows. How can shadows do that. Answer me old man?!"

As soon as he had finished talking Dailin stood there and looked at the old man and wondered just how he had gotten behind him. He didn't even hear him walking up and that spooked him. What was this man and what did he want?

 

[Darklord]

Randel

He looked up as his King entered the dining room. "damn, he looks pissed this morning." he thought to himself as he stood and waited for Kelwyn to take his seat.

Looking across at his friend he could help but notice the worry lines that seemed to crease his face more everyday, it made him very unhappy to see the once fairly care free friend of his look so worried. Trying to be cheerful he commented to him.. "Well Kelwyn, it looks like we're going to be able to make the trip up to the moutains and meet up with the others. Karrack insists that Avallyn will be able to make an appearance. It'll be good to see them all again won't it?" all the while he kept a sharp eye on his long time friend hoping to see some spark of the old King there. Leaning back he commented again "Plus, the men are ready to go as soon as breakfast is done, so lets eat up!"

 

[Darklord]

Karrack

He had just finished getting all of his clothes on and was combing out the length of beard he had grown over the last two years. Then there was a kncking on his door. Brows knitting he wondered which guest it could be... his heart giving a little jump at the thought that it might be Vixen. Swallowing he hurried down the stairs, skipping two at a time and walking very quickly he reached the door.

There he stopped, took a deep breath and putting on a smile he opened it to reveal someone he hadn't seen in a very long time and his smile only got bigger and happier. With a shout he seized his old friend Vixen, travel worn and dusty, he didn't care, and swung her around all the while clasped in his great arms and laughing.

Stopping eventually, he stood there, she in his arms and he simply said "I've missed you."

 

[DarkTalon]

Fate (Stalkers Gost)

"Its Called Magic boy. The enmey is still in karraka. They've made Camp so to speak. There is notthing you can do by your self . Head to the Hamersmith mountians You can find What you need to stop the bad guy."

The old man than turnd And like the wind Vanished like he was never there.

 

[Guest]

OOC: Where are we all supposed to meet?

IC: Avallyn slid off her mare closing her eyes as she stretched her legs. Kelwyn.. he was always on her mind. She missed him incredibly so. She didn't understand her depth of emotion but she knew she had to see him. Illynya stood beside her a frown on her face. "We've got company.. no don't look act like nothing is wrong" Avallyn kept her smile pasted on her lips and glanced out of the corner of her eye "Drow archers?" she glanced at Illynya "Above ground? What the hell" Illynya shrugged "I don't know but there is alot of them and they have some swordsmen as well" Avallyn instinctivly touched the hilt of her blade as one of the Drow approached. He wore a heavy cloak that protected his skin from the sun. He greeted Avallyn with a nod completely ignoring Illynya. "Greetings, I am Haer'dalis" Avallyn remained wary nodding but not accepting his outstretched hand. He withdrew it and shrugged. "You are Avallyn queen of the northern Amazons correct?" Avallyn nodded once more "There is a price on your head, a very large one in fact. As well as your precious king and your friends" he looked at his men "Usually us Drow don't come above ground but this is called for. I'm afraid I must kill you. Your a threat to someone who will prove a large help to the evil of the world and I refuse to let that come to pass" He frowned "Nothing personal really " with that he stepped back "you can die quickly or fight it's your choice" now within the group of his men he stared at her and she felt a shiver shild down her spine. Illynya spoke up "You'll never take us alive Drow scum!" With that the Drow attacked Archers aiming and firing. Most of the arrows were deflected by the Amazons swords. A technique most of the Amazons had worked hard to master. Illynya and Avallyn were the top. Working their way they cut down the archers but the swordsmen were right there and they were skilled. "Theres to many of them damn it. We need help" Avallyn shouted as she blocked another blow. Illynya nodded "But there is no one. We can do it" standing back to back both women faught with all their skill and might cutting down one after another. When only about five were left they backed off their leader scowling "I underestimated you Amazon but it won't happen again. This is not the end" he laughed "oh no it's only the beginning" then the drow backed up blending in with the scenery and soon were gone...

[Ravenloft]

Jornan:

"I'm Jornan, the stablehand." Jornan said with a slight smile as he sunk back in his seat. A barmaid came over promptly. "Food and drink, good miss, good sir?" She asked with a large smile. "Yes, a dragon steak for me, and a tall flaggon of ale please?" He looked up at the barmaid briefly then across to Armis. She nodded. "And the same for her I do believe." he said hesitently. "Alright, Sir, Miss, I will bring your food and drink around soon as a spider spins." And with that, the lady spun about on her heel and scooted off. Jornan smiled at her creative words. "That was annabelle, she's funny." Jornan said with a small laugh.

Silence filled the space between them for a moment as Jornan placed his hands up on the table and clasped them together. He tilited his head to the side and asked. "So, what do you do for a living? Adventure?" He gave a slightly concerned look. "Is it really all that profitable?"

 

[JohnnyWryder]

Armis

aRMIS sAID" Adventuerer yes Among other this. I Do get By" SHe Than Pulls Out Here Satchel To show him Here Bounty From the Hors she just robed . She She Than Sees the two neclases She Gave The Onix Cross to Jornan" Here Take This >" As she handed it to him She spoke " Do you like Being A Stable Hand "

 

[Ravenloft]

Jornan:

"Stablehand, stable home... Thats what my father always used to tell me..." Jornan said with a wane smile. "But its really boring and routine in all honesty... Although, some of the horses we stable from time to time are so impressive that I keep doing it..." He scratched his brow, then settled his hands before himself again. "Come to think of it, the best horses we see belong to you adventuring types..." He smiled longingly. "I wish I could have a horse like one of them some day..."

 

[Angelus]

Dailin looked at where the man had stood in shock. What was going on around him lately? First the village he had been in had been attacked and burnt almost to the ground and then he had been chasing some riders that had vanished and this weird old man had told him weren't even there!

He climbed back onto Wind and said, "Come on boy, let's see what is waiting for us in the Hammersmith Mountains."

 

[Darklord]

Just a note...

Ooc: Siren, all the old members are gathering up at Karracks home among the Giants in the Hammersmith moutains. As for new people, I believe Darktalon is arranging it so they will make appearances at the right time after the old people all meet up at Karrack's.

 

[DarkTalon]

OOC: That is Correct Dark lord . I will Post As soon as I Come Up With Something evil to do Scince i am mainly the bad guy. *Evil grinn*

 

[Moneytalks]

King Kelwyn...

"Avallyn will be able to make an appearance. It'll be good to see them all again won't it?" all the while he kept a sharp eye on his long time friend hoping to see some spark of the old King there. Leaning back he commented again "Plus, the men are ready to go as soon as breakfast is done, so lets eat up!"

Kelwyn managed a grim smile of sorts.

"Yes, yes you're right, it will be good to ride again and see the land I'm suppossed to be protecting. The Minister for Foreign Affairs is about the only Courtier that is happy to hear about my intended travel. He thinks it will be infinitely good for business to tighten my relations with the Amazons." Kelwyn laughed dryly.

"As for the rest, they're trying to convince me that the minute I leave the Kingdom I'll be murdered, it's as if they would prefer I locked myself away no better than a criminal!" He barked harshly, startling the serving boy who was attempting to pour the wine. It splashed across the table and splattered the Kings vest.

"S...s...sorry M'Leige..." He stammered mortified, going distinctly pale. The older server immediately rushed over to reprimand the boy and apologise to the King.

"Yes... no... it's FINE Draglin... leave the boy be it wasn't his fault... ENOUGH!" He shouted finally silencing the never ending apologies. Draglin looked slightly insulted by the King's tone but bowed out taking the boy with him. Wisely remaining silence as his King requested.

Kelwyn sighed. "I know I should be thrilled to hear about Avallyn being there, but truth be told, I feel... strange about it. Quite a bit of time has passed and we left things so... so... I don't know... unsettled. Neither of us saying anything really. I don't even know if she feels anything for me? What if she is already betrothed now?" He frowned and sipped his wine without tasting it.

"M'Lord... I believe she had feelings for you... it was clear to us all... clear that you both had feelings. It is true that time has played a cruel trick... and yes politics too... but I have faith that it will work out."

Kelwyn smiled then. A genuine smile.

"Dear friend... you a right... I should not dwell on the events that have already come to pass... I shall enjoy this journey imensely. Let us eat well for the journey's meals will not be this filling I'm sure!" He tucked into a chunk of freshly baked bread and for a moment let himself forget about the politics of the court.

 

[Moneytalks]

Vixen...

Stopping eventually, he stood there, she in his arms and he simply said "I've missed you."

She giggled, a girlish sound she didn't often utter. His beard tickling her face as he held her in is great arms spinning her around like she weighed nothing at all. Immediately all the butterflies vanished and she knew that they were alright. Their friendship still in tact despite all that had passed be it time or anything. For a moment her feelings for him overwhelmed her a little and it frightened her. She who kept her feelings hidden and to herself.

Hearing his words she almost couldn't utter a reply. So full of happiness she was at hearing them.

"I... I've missed you too... you big oaf!" She finally managed. Her voice warm with affection for him. "Now put me down and feed me already!" She laughed.

 

[JohnnyWryder]

Armis

Armis listen to the boy as she thought *~* there is some thing about this boy I like Hes Nieve but Cool.*~* SHe than Spoke
" You know what. I Might Have Enugh money To Bouy You Any horse you want if you join me on My Jurnys . All you have to do is Go pik out A Horse WIle I Pay for lunch." She pased given time fo him to think "is it a dill"

OOC: ravenloft I try to give a eclace erlyer did you acept it.

 

[Darklord]

Lord Randel

"M'Lord... I believe she had feelings for you... it was clear to us all... clear that you both had feelings. It is true that time has played a cruel trick... and yes politics too... but I have faith that it will work out."

He was slightly surprised at the King's mood. But he was happy to see that his reply was taken so well by his old friend, considering it was the truth as far as he was concerned. Smiling to see his friend eat with so much gusto, he to went after the food like it was the last meal of a convicted crinimal.

Soon they had finished all the food, and standing together headed for the doors. Along the way Randel asked Kelwyn. "I was wondering, who are we going to take with us, and what gifts?"

 

[Darklord]

Karrack

Laughing at Vixen's insistence that he put her down and feed her, he set her down gently, and taking her arm, he led her into his home. "I would like to invite you into my new home Vixen, since I built this over the past year since I've been a little bored sitting in the moutains reading. Come on, I'll feed you first before I show you your room upstairs."

Walking arm in arm they entered the kitchen where Karrack proceeded to pull some bread, a pitcher of ale, cheese and some beef he had in the cool room below. "This should do you for now Vix." he said happily as he set it before her. Sitting across from her and pouring himself some of the ale into a mug he asked her "So, how was the trip? Good I hope. And the business, how is that going?" and then he waited for her reply.

 

[Ravenloft]

Jornan:

"You would... Do that? Allow me to adventure with you?" Jornan was floored. No one, ever, had seen him as a risk worth taking, but this woman... "Yes! And I know exactly which horse I want!" He said, a smile spreading from ear to ear. "Blackmane, Albert Blackmane... I helped to train him from a foal."
