"I'd hate to say it but I agree with Bear. Besides, they just lost their leader. They need someone to take them to victory. It's dangerous but the se- I'm sorry- eight of us can do it." She said with determination in her eyes. She knew that there was nothing more that they all wanted than the fall of Gabriel and his queen. This may be their only solution. Even if it cost her her life, she was going to follow their General until the end.

Nathan got up and walked over toward the window that glanced at the castle. He can feel it, hear it. It just happened. Emperor Gabriel, is now the Blood King, officially. Now that he's the Blood King, Nathan began to wonder how to move in close enough to Gabriel for the kill, and to end it all. He walked back toward the table and pulled out the ticket to the coronation of the Blood King. He placed it on the table hoping that the girl and wolf would now about what just happened. Now to see their reaction, if they had any...He grabbed his armor and jacket from the closet. He also prepped his weapons for battle, his guns and sword. He then sat back down near the table, wondering how he's going to get support.

OOC:Sorry, I'm a bit late. Been doing stuff.
Waking up after the storm had passed, Alviss transformed into a crow and flew up into the sky. He thought of what was going to happen to Emperor Gabriel, the coronation of the Blood King.
He thought to himself, "I might as well check it out since I have nothing else to do."
Flying around the castle, Alviss finally perched on top of roof after confirming where he would probably see Zyanya and Emperor Gabriel. A few minutes had passed until he saw Emperor Gabriel coming out to meet Zyanya. But what had happened next surprised him to no end, Emperor Gabriel had stabbed and killed Zyanya.
Shocked and a bit startled, Alviss stayed where he was, unable to take in what had just happened.

"Well then it is decided. We head out to Farvardin in 20 minutes. Get everything together so we can pack up the tent." He watched them all scramble to do as they were told. Helped fold up the cots and load them onto the wagon that was brought with the original battalion.
Then he went around the tent to look for a very sturdy tree. He unbuckled his swords and layed them next to the tree. He took a ready stance and as a leaf fell from a branch, he began to kick the tree rapidly with his right leg. After he did 20 kicks, the part of the trunk he had kicked was severely cracked and dented in certain places. He then proceeded to do the same with his left leg. He kicked the tree until the left side was as cracked and damaged as the other. "Heh.........usually they don't last past the first 5 kicks." Kisuke smirked at this thought. He gave one straight punch towards the base between each damaged side and the tree split fully from its trunk and fell backwards.
He turned around and now performed some high based back-flips. He twisted in the air during a few of them, landed on one leg, somersault forward onto his hands and push himself into another back-flip. After a couple of minutes, he picked up Leht and Heolstor at last. The magic imbued in their blades seemed to rejuvenate him. He drew them from their sheaths and hopped onto the fallen tree. He made the swiftest movements he could with each blade in hand and seconds later the trunk had been split into perfect sized firewood. He sheathed the blades once again and re-buckled them to his back.
He now concentrated the energy in his body and focused on the air around him. The he directed the flow of air with his hands and brought the gust of wind toward the firewood, which rose into the air. Kisuke then proceeded to direct the wind towards the wagon with grace. The firewood landed neatly on the wagon. "Not bad for now." He smiled. He walked silently over to the wagon and stacked the wood into a neater pile.
Satisfied with his work, he hopped up on the wagon and hummed to himself.

Esmeralda felt a sharp pain hit her heart. She had been asleep on a roof and thats all she could remember of last night. She heard Gabriel yelling seeing as she was on the roof next to the palace's. "I hope the new 'God' doesnt realize my feelings for him. She hopped off the roof and moved closer literally looking down at the courtyard. Zyanya was dead by Gabriel's hand. She was a bit mad with him but that wouldnt change any feelings.
She clapped her hands at that giving him a much needed applause. She also hated Zyanya because her existence was her fault. "All hail, the God!" She yelled before hiding on the other side of the roof.
-
OOC: Sorry I didn't reply sooner. Been busy.
Yuphenia yawned and stretched. For once she wasn't tired and her muscles weren't sore. She got up from the bed and looked at the man. He was wearing his armor. She had just remembered something. The ticket. She pulled it out and looked at it, then back at the man.
"Do you think King Gabriel is good enough to be the Blood King?" she asked him.
-
Amthysta watched the whole thing from behind the queen, she raised a brow when the King killed Zyanaya a sudden fear took over 'get away..i have to get away..' she changed into a goose and flew upward clumsy. when she had some height she realist she was giong the wrong way, she turned and flew quickly between esmeralda's legs hitting her with her wings for a moment before flying the after Alicia. she was not sure why but she thought alicia maybe had some answers. In the courtyard the queen noticed amythesta had dissapeard "amythesta? Amythesta where are you?!" she looked round and suddenly yelled for the guards to find her handmaiden and went back inside 'if she has not good excuse for her dissapearance i will have her punished' she thought as she retreated into her rooms.
-
Nathan nodded in reply to the girl's question. There's no doubt that Gabriel is the Blood King now. He wondered if the girl was willing to support his attack on the new Blood King, Gabriel. He also grabbed a set of plans on how to plan the attack on Gabriel.
OOC: Sorry for short post. I'm currently in class now.

Amora remained at the doors for so long and the King had not called upon her. She thought that perhaps the King was finished with the offerings and greeting the people. Amora walked towards a guard who was standing duty near the entrance.
"Good day Sir. The rest of these letters are to be given to the King and Queen. Shall you escort me towards the secretary quarters to deliver these messages?" The guard grinned at her and escorted her towards the quarters. Amora placed the bag on top of the desk and nodded at the guard.
"Thank you very much." Amora ran towards the nearest entrance and conjured a cloud. That place...it reeks of death and blood.... She remembered that images from her past when she was still alive when the last Blood King ruled. Amora could see the faces of every person he killed within her presence, she remembered the time he killed the rulers of her land and she will remember when he will be crowned to be the new Blood King. She sighed and shook her head. The vicious cycle of power will never seise to exist. Amora had lost her concentration as her cloud was disappearing. Her reaction time is very slow as she began to fall out of the sky. Amora panicked but managed to land beside a girl who was sitting on a rooftop. She rubbed the back of her neck as she had landed very awkward on the roof top. Amora brushed off the dirt that she had gotten on her clothing and sat back down near the girl.
"My apologies for startling you in any way. The weather seems a bit strange today." Amora held out her hand.
"I am Amora. Pleasure to meet you, young lady." Amora grinned at the girl on the rooftop.
OOC: The story got this far over the weekend? My goodness. Umbra Witch Bayonetta: my character is right there if you want to interact with her. :)
-
OOC: Sorry if my post is too short.
Yuphenia and Xaldin both looked at the paper. They wondered was it was.
"What is that?" she asked the man. Since she culdn't read or anything, she was confused.
-
Alicia flew blindly in the direction she thought she had to go. She felt like the spirit of Zyanya was leading her towards a certain destination. Alicia suddenly stopped and looked around herself. She found herself at a tent. There was a man kicking at a tree.
SHe flew down to him. "H-Hello?" She said trying out her own free will. She wasnt use to it. She stumbled forward. She wasn't use to controlling her own body. She was like a new born child learning to speak for the first time and walk for the first time.
"Where am I? I...I remember Emperor Gabriel killing Zyanya....Emperor Gabriel is the Blood King!! I must get back to him!! He..He..." She stopped talking and looked around herself. He didn't need her, but she didn't need him either. Not like she use to.
"I...I am free?" she didn't ask this of anyone but she asked herself. "I am free!" she laughed and spun around then stop suddenly. "Gosh. I'm sorry sir. You must think I'm a little nutty. I'm Alicia...I...I don't have a last name. Is that odd? Oh! I'm sorry. I must tell you I was the body guard for Emperor gabriel. Could you direct me to his castle?"
She looked at the man in front of her. "I'm sorry but I didn't catch your name. You look awfully familiar. Were you part of the court at the castle?" She stopped and thought for a moment and thats when everything hit her.
Shr plummeted to the ground and held her head. "It hurts...." she cried out. Slowly the pain went away and the fog that had been there cleared. "I'm Alicia Nightweld....I'm Gabriel and Boadicea's daughter..." she paused as more infomation stormed her brain.
Another voice took over her own and said the future that Zyanya saw.
"My child, you know what you must do. With my last power I give you the will to live. Emperor Gabriel, you will be killed by one of your own. By your own flesh and blood."
She gasped and grabbed her head again. "What does that mean?!" she yelled to the sky wanting answers from Zyanya but the life force that took her to the feild was gone now and it left a large whole in her.
_______________________________________
Emperor Gabriel gave out a deep laugh. "Alicia!! COme here! Escort me back to the dining hall for a feast!!" he looked around when Alicia didn't appear. "Alicia! Where are you? Alistair?! Where is Alicia?!"
-
Esmeralda noticed the girl falling down on the rooftop next to her. She jumped back a bit and almost reached for her daggers. She noticed she just fell and calmed down. "Hello, Amora. Im Esmeralda but you can call me Esme." She said looking at the girl. "You are probably the first person who has been kind to me." She opened her bag with her remaining belongings and took out a book. She handed it to the girl and smiled. "Why dont we be friends?" She asked in a gentle tone.
Esmeralda always asked if they could be friends due to the fact, they all avoided her. She put her reading glasses on so she could look better. "I havent been able to change so please forgive me if I seem dirty."
-
"Hello, Amora. Im Esmeralda but you can call me Esme. You are probably the first person who has been kind to me" Amora tilted her head to the left to comprehend the reason behind this. She giggled a bit and then smiled.
"Really Esme?" Amora looked around at the scenery at the bottom. "In this day and age, disrespect, dishonor, hostility, rudeness are on every corner. I just don't understand why a lovely girl such as yourself could end up in such a predicament." Amora began to remember how everyone was treated back when the Blood King didn't exist. The days where no one worried about war or conflict.
"Why don't we be friends?" Amora looked up at Esme and decided to put those memories away since she knew that the good times were gone and the dark ages were once again upon them.
"Of course! I don't see why not." Amora loved having friends but she thought about not having them for so long because she out lives them all.
"I havent been able to change so please forgive me if I seem dirty." Amora giggled at her comment.
"No worries. I am assuming you went to the King's offering ceremony in his audience chamber this afternoon? I believe he is going to be quite the Blood King....just like the last one." Amora paused and then looked at the sky. "Do you believe this country will survive another reign of the Blood King?" She looked at the people below and placed her head on her knees.
OOC: Is it alright if I suggest something? For it to be easier on everyone, maybe we should post at the top of every entry what time of day it is. Such as if its Morning, Day, Evening, Night Etc. I think it would be much easier for everyone. :)

As Nathan got to the table, he cleared it and placed the plans on the center of the table. He laid them out flat and clear on the table. The plans showed the floor plan of Emperor Gabriel's entire castle. He grabbed a writing tool and wrote what he thought on how we should be able to take the throne from Gabriel and make sure that nobody else becomes Blood King. He wrote down on a blank space:
'If we're able to free this world from the Blood King's control we should take the throne room and liberate the castle. Once that's done, we should be able to find Gabriel and take him down. We can either do it quietly or get support and charge in head on.'
Nathan quietly waited for an answer from the girl.
-
OOC: Wow . . . so many posts to read. >.<
Aaolla watched quietly as the people around her went to work,
busy as could be. She waited for them to be done, knowing that something was different.
As Kisuke attacked the tree, she couldn't help but smile.
Well, at least he was strong. Aaolla wouldn't have been so keen on the idea of the group going to attack if they weren't strong.
But some part of her had known that they were . . .
A girl suddenly flew in and started talking quickly.
She hadn't noticed that Aaolla was standing in the background apparently,
so Aaolla decided to stay quiet.
That is, until the girl fell to the ground in pain.
"Are you okay?" She asked, running over to the girl, Alicia as she had called herself.
She kneeled down beside her, looking worriedly as she held her head in pain.
Alicia seemed to be remembering something.
Aaolla looked up to Kisuke, but couldn't help but notice Alicia's wings.
They were different from her own, she definitely wasn't an Engel.
Turning her attention back to Kisuke, she asked, "What should we do?"
-
Yuphenia looked at the writing on the paper, then at him with a sad expression.
"I-i can't read. I never learned." she said to him. She felt horrible about not being able to. Every time someone would give her an ad of some kind from ashop, she had to ask what it was.
Xaldine was awake now. He looked at Yuphenia and smiled, seeing she was alright. Then he looked at the man. He seemed to be trustworthy.
-
Seems that she couldn't read, he thought. Nathan was now in some hole that he didn't expect. One, he couldn't speak. Two, the girl couldn't read. He thought on how he was going to communicate with her since he couldn't talk himself. He wondered if he can learn how to talk as well. He then came up with an idea of sign language, hoping that she knows. He took his right index finger and pointed on his plan. He then moved his finger in a slow motion so that the girl can get the idea what he was going to do.
-
Yuphenia nods as she watches his finger move across the paper. The plan was a pretty good one. Then she thought of Xaldin, who was still in petty bad shape. She wondered if the man would let him stay here.
"Is Xaldin allowed to stay here?" she asked him.
-
Nathan nodded as the girl asked the question. It was good that he has company. Nathan was so used to the fact that nobody was able to help him because nobody knew him but he was starting to get the feeling that he was going to be around someone for some time which was good.
-
Kisuke approached cautiously. Knowing this girl was the bodyguard of Gabriel, she may have easily been sent here to finish him since the Emperor's plan had not worked. But she seemed different than usual, less blank and more emotional than she usually was. He snapped back to reality as the girl collapsed and went into a trance-like state. "...What!?!" As he tried to comprehend the message of the trance. He saw Aolla rush over to the girl. Alicia she called herself. As Aolla tried to ask her if she was ok, she turned to him and asked him what to do. "Let's bring her insi--" Alicia had suddenly calmed down. Surprised by this he rushed forward just as Adrian stepped out of the tent. "Are you alright?", he asked Alicia.
-
Yuphenia smiled at him. It was the first time she's smiled in a while to anyone but Xaldin. She was grateful of the guy. He helped her and Xaldin, gave them a place to stay, and even gave them food. No one had ever done that for her before.
"Thank you...for everything." she told him. "Is there someway I can re-pay you for your kindness?" she asked.
-
Adrian handed out food rations to the guys in the tent. It wasn't much for they needed to conserve as much as possible, but it was enough to get them through the morning. She took out some sweet bread and walked out of the tent. "Someone keep Bear away from the rations. Don't want him eating all of it!" She called over her shoulder teasingly. She looked ahead and saw Kisuke kicking a poor defenseless tree.
As she made her way over to him and Aolla with their rations, some girl with odd-looking wings landed in from of them. She didn't hear their conversation but she saw the girl double over in pain and ran over to them, her face contorted with concern as the others followed suit. "Is everything alright?" she asked..
Anisa walked out of her apartment. Something didn't feel right. It wasn't as if she was missing the feeling, it was more like some just vanished. She wasn't too concerned about it as she made her way down the street in the form of Mr. Phionus. She quickly ducked into a store and into the restroom, coming out as a little girl with black hair in pigtails and a blue dress.
That's when it hit her. Perhaps that was the feeling of Zyanya disappearing. That would mean the coronation had already happened. But why would Zyanya disappear. She suddenly felt the urge to smile to herself. As she skipped down the road towards the castle she sang a little tune to herself.
-
Nathan shook his head and smiled at her as he knew that he didn't really need anything from the girl. He was glad now that he has friends now, he didn't really want anything from her. He looked over his plans for Gabriel's assasination and made sure that he and the girl-along with her wolf-were okay with the plan.
-
Yuphenia and Xaldin both looked at him with a serious expression. Yuphenia wanted nothing more than Gabriel's death since she was young. Xaldin too wanted Gabriel dead. He would do anything for her.
Her expression changed, it showed anger now. She finally said:
"Let's go."
-
Nathan nodded his head. It looked like they were willing to support. Good. He grabbed his face mask, helmet, and goggles. He put them on and pulled up his face mask and brought down his goggles to his eyes. He grabbed his weapons and sword and unlocked the door. He then opened it and went out first to see if anyone was outside. Nobody. He then waited for the wolf and girl to come out.
