Rhama, was led into the camp when one of the soldiers leading her, put his hands around his mouth. "Prince Alexander!" He called out. "Yes? What is it?" He responded, turning just slightly so that the man was within his vision. "We have a guest here that would like to spend the night within our care. Do you know how we might accommodate her?"the soldier said, his voice low so as not to be heard by the other soldiers around him. "Hmm? A guest? this far away from civilization?" Alexander asked suspiciously before turning to meet the gaze of the guest. His heart skipped a beat at the sight of the beautiful woman standing before him, allowing no other words to escape his mouth. "Ahem, I believe that it would be best for me to take over. I'm going to have to ask her a few questions before I can allow her to stay within the camp." Alexander said quickly while clearing his throat. The soldier nodded his head as he stepped aside to allow Alexander to take over. "Please follow me." Alex
Sensing footsteps approaching, Rio wakes from his sleep, shaking Rhama awake as well before hastily entering into the void. "Morning lady Rhama? Are you awake?" "Good morning. Yes, I'm awake." Rhama answers, her voice sounding sleepy and soft. "I trust that you slept well?" Alexander asks with a warm smile. "Yes, thank you for asking. Is it time for us to depart?" Rhama says with a bright smile before yawning. "Not quite. We still have another hour until we begin packing everything up. I actually came by to ask if you would like to join us for breakfast. I know that it will be a long trip ahead and it would be nice to get to know you better." Alexander explains sheeply as his voice softens. "Yes, that would be lovely." Rhama says with a giggle. "Wonderful! then I will show you the way." Alexander joyfully exclaims, opening the tents vestibule before quickly shutting them back tightly. "I am extremely sorry my lady! I was not aw
While Rhama and Alexander are preoccupied in their breakfast conversation, conflict had begun brewing back in the werewolf's territory. Their queen, along with her son had yet to return and tensions were rising. "You better hold your tongue Parocly! What your saying can be considered mockery of the crown!" one of the werewolves shouted. Parocly raised his voice in response. "We have waited for long enough Kade! She will not return! Face it. She has abandoned her people! We must find another way to survive in this world without her." Kade was taken aback by the bold words spoken by the werewolf. "I don't think that will be necessary. She will return, I'm sure of it." Parocly scoffs. "I doubt that. She was never worthy of wearing the crown and you know it. The old queen would have torn the land asunder, putting those pathetic humans in their places. She would have made us the dominant species here. Not these shells of our former selves, constant
Putting 5 coins into the box, Rio watches as it vibrates. the box comes to a halt and spits out a small black object. [Lesser stone of power- Increases strength by 1] "Ohh, so sad!!" The box chimes with disappointment. Rio picks up the stone and puts it in his mouth with immense dissatisfaction. "That was a waste of 5 coins." Rio grumbles. "Come on, give me something good." Rio takes another 5 coins and puts them into the box, watching as it begins to shake once more. The box continues to shake for another minute until the box stops shaking. A large stone is then ejected from the box. Rio looks down at the stone to see what this one is. at the very least, it looks more promising than the last one. The stone is dark purple with a small crack running through it. [Soul stone-Fill with your energy and see what's inside.] "Biiig Winner!!" "Yes, yes, I know. It is a big win, but are you really not going to tel
Alexander sneaks his way throughout the camp, and quickly notices his sword. It was currently in the hands of one of the tribesmen. The man looked like he was analyzing the blade of light with great curiosity. The man had begun moving his fingers in the air, causing runes to appear around the blade. The man then began speaking in a language that Alexander didn't understand but he knew it would be trouble. Whatever the man was trying to do with his blade would undoubtedly be bad news. He rushes into the room to the tribesman's surprise. Before they could react, Alexander kicks the man in the stomach causing him to drop the sword and making his runes dissipate. He quickly picks up the blade before the man can recover, and turns to defend himself from the many tribesmen who are rushing into the tent. They begin attacking Alexander as he dodges their attacks. "Damn, these guys are tough." Alexander thinks as he blocks a spear thrusting at his chest. "If I don't get out of here soon I
Rio and Rhama continue riding with the envoy while under the constant stares of Alexander. The rife was peaceful and only helped to bring the two together while Rio watched on in satisfaction. Everything seemed to have been coming along perfectly. It wouldn't be long now until he was able to complete the trial and continue up the mountain. "This is a nice change from my typical frantic pace." Rio says as he watches the scenery pass by. "I could get used to more easy missions like this." Rio sat back and relaxed as their wagon ascended the hills when the sounds of yelling were heard from up ahead. The yelling startled Alexander causing him to lose focus on Rhama. Looking out from the wagon, they could see a large city, under fire. Smoke was rising high into the sky from the fires that had broken out. "What's happening here?" Rio thinks as he looks around confused. He can tell that something is terribly wrong as Alexander's face was pale white with fear
"Who the hell are you!" Parocly shouts at Rio. His body has begun seeping the dark aura as he approaches Rio. "He has nothing to do with this. Leave my son alone!" Rhama shouts as she swings towards Parocly who easily catches her hand. "Son? I've been in this trial for months. You never had a-... Oho, I see what's going on now." Parocly laughs as he looks back and forth between Rio and Rhama. "You must be another apostle just like me! But You can't be a follower of Lord Zenith, or you wouldn't have fought against this war." Parocly was deep in thought as he threw Rhama to the side. "Well, whoever you belong to doesn't matter. This trial's reward will be mine and there's nothing you can do to stop it. With the powers given to me by my lord, Nothing shall stand in my way ever again." Parocly then holds his arms up as dark mist envelops the air around him. His body begins to rumble as his hands vanish within the dark cloud. After his rumbling ceases, he
"Get your ass back down here!" Rio yells as he continues to chase the man. Dust kicks up behind him as he runs towards the top, using all of his energy to catch up to the fading image of Parocly. "Seething with anger Rio uses his force to create a disc and uses it to fly after Parocly. He begins to close the distance between the two when Parocly suddenly vanishes. "Where the hell did you go you little shit! I'm going to make you pay for what you've done! Do you know how much work I had to do in that trial! Just for you to mess everything up in the end. You better get back here so I can finish you!" Rio yells as he frantically looks around for the man. As Rio continues to look around for the man, a message appears in front of him. "You have been caught cheating
