Part 1

[Inkshade]

Caedmon sighs "And just when they were getting somewhere..."

Vito looks at Vanora, who continued to make scared and upset faces. He frowns and closes his eyes. he suddenly opens them and looks around "I can't do that....no...I know that but it would cause more problems....she would be upset if they were hurt.....yes, quite a bit....no. That is why I cannot...they would notice....Mother would not approve." he says

Caedmon glances at him and raises an eyebrow. he looks around himself for a moment, then shrugs it off.

------

"I'm not! I'm fighting on instict." Airou growls "And shut up about Aikia..." he mutters

-----

Gaz nods "Ok ok..."

Caed sighs and shakes his head at Gaz, then follows the Queen.

------

Rhis smiles, finding the summoning magic facinating.

Vaughn follows behind Rhis. He was addmitedly a bit nervous, having never been to battle before.

[Dynamax]

"Getting somwhere would imply his words had an effect on me." Vadris steps away from Elias. "I will destroy all that oppose me."

Elias looks back at Vanora a moment and then at Vadris. "Then....prove your innocence." He throws his weapon away. "I will not fight you but neither will I hand over the book. To gt it you will have to kill a defenseless man, forget Vanora's feelings about either of us. Prove you're not the monster I heard about Vadris."

"What are you doing?" Rondar says.

"Father, stay out of this. He needs to show what really matters to him. How else can he be judged properly and fairly?" Elias looks at him. "Your move."

Vadris lets out a frustrated snarl. "D....Damn you..."

-------------

"Ok I need to spell it out, go gut fatty while we tango with the horse and greeny. Think at last that much, the mind reader's not used to pain it seems, he's wide open." Jagi says. "JUST DO SOMETHING!!" He then rushes in and lashes out again at Trophis.

--------------

"What can you do to help us with your powers Gaz?" Adona asks. "I am not familiar with your powers."

---------------

"Prince Vaughn, are you alright with this." Ildor asks. "You needn't worry...I won't let anything happen but if you'd prefer to stay I will come for you personally once we are done."

[Inkshade]

Caedmon smirks "Good show. A good move." he mutters, keeping an eye on Vito.

Vito secures his hold on Vanora, looking around caustiously.

----------

Airou glares at Jagi, but decides to take out his anger on Goshin. his eyes snap to the demon and he charges, circling around the other two. he grits his teeth as he runs and then twirls his blades as he approaches him. he comes down at him with his blades.

------

"Well, I'll teleport around and inform the nobles for ya'." Gaz says "Unfortunately, I can not disclose many of my powers to even you my Queen, but I'm more than happy to help where I can." he looks at Caed and smirks "and if you don't need the dashing young Caed here to help you here, I'll take him with me so he can get a tolerance to teleportation"

------

"No. Thank you Ildor, but I wish to come." Vaughn says "I can handle it *cough*, and besides...you might need my knowledge of ancient runes...something there acctivated a seal on Master Rhis that was in such runes..." he coughs a few times then laughs, embarassed with himself "Oh...right, you haven't met Rhis yet...." he gives Osiron an apologetic smile.

Osiron nods to him and sighs "I...can start explaining if you'd like Ildor..."

[Dynamax]

"Son...he'll destroy you." Rondar says.

"If so, then it proves he's a threat to Vanora. Father...if you could have done the same for Mother would you dare step aside?" Elias says.

"I..." Rondar goes silent.

"If...if you will seek to deny me then..." Vadris turns his attention to Vadris. "Then i will apprehnd this traitor."

"I think not." Mr. Bluestone draws his sword. "Leave this ruffian to me."

"You...why do you seem so...familiar?" Vadris muses.

"I have that effect on people." Mr. Bluestone says. "Master Iago just ran past me while being chased by your garish looking swordsman telling me to help fight you. I must obey his orders, thus...we must do battle."

"A butler, how insulting." Vadris says before two hands rise out of the ground and clap, with him between them.

"I am a man of many talents." Mr. Bluestone says, not breaking his calm, cool demeanor.

--------------

The blades sink into Goshin's right shoulderish area. He lets out a howl as he turns. "Dah huwt." He says before knocking Airou back with a TK push.

Jagi smiles. "Guy's not on for pain huh?"

Trophis roars and tries to take off his head.

"Neither are you Horseface." Jagi steps back.

Crytax raises a hand. "Freeze Girlie." He says as h fires a wave of ice at Octavia.

----------------

"Do what you see as necessary." Adona says. "And behave. No snarkiness, some of our hgiher class have no patience."

----------------

"Do i know the mother?" Ildor says. "I knew he was your son from the start. His face is much like yours. I'm just curious as to why he was a secret from me of all people."

[Inkshade]

Vito spots something in the distance. he squints and makes out a dark figure, just watching them all. "What's he doing here?" he mutters

Caedmon looks and spot the same figure "hmm...Brann!"

"BUSY!" Brann shouts as he runs at Azrael with spirals of the mud spiraling around him. he shoulder had a wound from Azrael's blade on it, and half of his face had mud on it from falling at some point.

"Brann come. We aren't needed here any longer." Caedmon says.

Vito looks back at Caedmon with shock "What?! Caedmon!"

-------

Airou sticks the landing, and rushes forward agan "That's the point!" he growls.

Rodric rushes over to Octavia and blocks the ice by punching it with his blade. "You should not blindly attack Skycrest women, they tend to flock."

Claire does a flip over Crytax and tosses knives at him. she lands in front of him and pulls out daggers for hand to hand combat and swings at him, moving and bending around him so she would not be in the same place for too long.

------

"Got it." Gaz nods, then smirks at Caed "Come on kid! you can't become a legend without a strong stomache!" he says, grabs onto him and the two disappear with a loud pop.

---------

Osiron pauses "I figured you would be able to tell...maybe that's why..." he walks over to him "No...you wouldn't know his mother. She's...a Queen from the otherside of the wall." he begins. "I...found her years ago in the forests around this place...it was...soon after the masacre and...she was so beautiful....needless to say, when I discovered who she was I...was so attached and feared that you would make me return her so I...hid her here." he says shamefully "Eventually I realized she wanted nothing more than to go so I brought her back to the wall....she allowed me one night, as thanks....and maybe an apology." he was no longer looking at Ildor, too ashamed.

Rhis listens silently. He knew everyone else must have heard the story or known something, it was still odd hearing it, and even odder seeing how differently he told it to Ildor, than he did to him.

"about eight years after I returned her, my covent discovered three boys in the forests near their home. They thought they were runaway slaves, by their dress....so when they insulted them, the sisters did what anyone would and delt punishment. By the time I got there the only one left alive was Rhis...or so I thought, as it were one of them is in fact still alive, but that's a bit irrelevant right now...." Osiron sighs "I...covered that up as well, because if I were to reveal him it would be to reveal his mother. For the passed ten years, I have had him disguised as the sister's servant. He just learned of his origins as well...I hid him...out of shame of my actions..." he gets down on one knee and bows to him "Please my friend....forgive me for this...I beg you to forgive this weakness....and if you cannot please do not hold my son accountable for any of this. He is just another victim of my lies."

Rhis frowns "father..."

[Dynamax]

"What? You can't." Elias says, turning away from the fight.

"*Sigh* Really? You're just going to let them step in Caedmon? You know that will upset Her Highness." Mr. Bluestone says. "You know you can't stay neutral forever, been there myself. I only did more harm than good, Vadris has your number there I must sadly admit."

The hands explode as Vadris lets out a howl of rage. "THAT FUCKING HURT!!!"

"Sir, i am talking to my friend here." Mr. Bluestone snaps his fingers, causing a column of pure light to explode up from under him. "Do shut up."

"What...what the Hell are you?" Thimos asks.

"Wait...that power..." Rondar's eyes widen.

"I told you I would ensure your son's safety." Mr. Bluestone says, put his pointer finger to his mouth and shhing Rondar. "Keep it to yourself. All you need to know Son of the Devil King is that i am simply Lord Iago's Butler."

----------------

"STOP RUNNING!!" Kaizo yells.

"Fool, if i did that you'd kill me." Iago yells as he dodges another blast.

----------------

The blade cuts into Crytax. He growls as he spins his blades her way. "Then they can flock OFF!!" But before the blade culd connect Logos was on him.

"You simpletons keep forgetting about me." He then bgins to punch Crytax in the face.

Goshin lets out an angry howl as he fires out his tongue. "UHH'LL STRRNNGUUUHHHLL YUH!!"

------------

"Hmm..." Adona thinks on them for a moment before continuing. "Do you have any suggestions on how we can forify ourselves Miss Estelle?"

-----------------

Ildor turns to him, an angry look on his face. "What the Hell are you doing on your knees, to me of all people? The one you committed a great sin for. Who the Hell am I to judge a man like you? RISE!!"

Rowena was caught off guard.

"And what of you Daughter, I can tell you care for him and he you. I want to hear it from your mouth." Ildor says.

"I...I do love him Father, before I even knew he was Lord Osiron's son. I knew his true character from the moment I first looked in his eyes." Rowena says.

"That is fine...however there is much to consider...when all is done." Ildor says. "Boy...step forward."

"Father?" Rowena was worried.

"Damn it child I just said things were fine to both of you, think for a second." Ildor sighs. "I want him to simply tell me who he is, what he intends to do with himself. I want to see if he is worthy of his Father."

[Inkshade]

Cademon sighs "I came here to ensure the girl's safety, that I have done. she has given back what she took from her brother, and her natural gift has been safely maintained with that necklace, she can take it off when she wakes. I only came to make sure she stayed safe, and it has come to my attention that she could not be safer." he glances at Vito and then out at where the figure had been, it was now gone. "And, I must stay neutral, until my comrades and I convene to decide where we stand."

"OH FOR THE LOVE OF!" Brann shouts and grabs Azrael. he starts punching him "CAEDMON YOU INDECICIVE SON OF A BITCH! I'm sick, of your 'meh meh meeeeh! We need to be neutral! meeeeh.' It's INFURIATING! WHY DO IT LISTEN TO YOU! WE SHOULD BE RIPPING OFF HEADS NOT BEING WUSSY....GRRRR!" he shouts angerly as Azrael starts dodging the punches "QUIT MOVING I JUST WANT TO TURN YOUR HEAD INTO PULP!"

"Are you quite finished boy?" Caedmon sighs.

---------

"Sir, only Sir Rodric and Skycrests can make bird puns." Claire says, and ducks down to stab him in the ankles.

"Not if you don't have a tounge!" Airou shouts and swipes one blade around to catch the tounge. he swirls his wrist to wrap it around his blade then digs the hook into the toung and pulls to bring Goshin towards him.

---------

"Hmm, unfortunately not without Lord Osiron here. Fortifications are not my specialty." Estelle says "Keeping them up anyways."

-------

Osiron stands, taken off guard as well. He then feels guilty for ever doubting that Ildor would forgive him.

Rhis steps towards Ildor "Sir, I am Rhisiart Dracwall, Prince of Cathitias the land on the other side of the wall, and heir to House Dracwall. I plan to help with relations with my homeland if necessary, as they very well may be considering it seems parties have been sent looking for me, one of which included my sister, who if what I saw was right, is where we're going anyways. She seems to be a friend of Lord Vadris..." he pauses "But, above all...I intend to prove to you I am worthy of not only my father's name but your daughter Rowena. Because I fully intend on marrying her."

Vaughn does an internal victory pump. he had thought Rhis did very well.

[Dynamax]

"True but you must consider one other thing: How much are you willing to live with due to your choice. It is a fine thing to stand up for one's beliefs, but the soul you saved when you decided to become as you are could easily fall prey to guilt. Do not let the chance to act pass...else you might fall to madness or worse. I will leave it at that." Mr. Bluestone says. "Keep in touch."

Vadris merges from the pillar. "I WILL FUCK YOU UP OLD MAN!!"

Mr. Bluestone sighs as he meets the charg, parrying Vadris sword and backhanding him. "Stop fighting with blind rage you simpleton."

------------

Crytax sidesteps the attack. "Don't think I'm slow moving."

Goshin yelps in pain as he was jerked forward, falling onto the ground.

"You got him." Jagi says. "Oh SHIT!! AIROU!!"

Karn flies past Airou and Goshin, landing in a heap.

"Stupid little Goshin, can't fight freaking humans now?" Large footfalls come up from behind as Ronka approaches Airou. "Seems I gotta save your ass, like always." A large ball of energy collects in his hand. "DOMINATION WAVE!!" A blast fires out at Airou.

Goshin willingly rips off part of his tongue so he could telekinetically move out of the way.

But before the blast could hit a wall of blue energy forms in front of Airou, shielding him. The blast is nullified on impact.

"Wh...what the Hell?" Ronka did not expect that.

"OHohohohohoho...what a foolish beast you are." Surprisingly it seems Victoria cast it.

"How...how can a human from the other side...use magic?" Ronka remarks.

"When she steals, copies and has Mr. Bluestone partially translate Elias' book 3 years ago and practices in secret." Victoria says.

"The book of the King...you dare to use it's knowledge against ME?" Ronka bellows.

------------

"Well demolition can be useful. One can demolish invaders just as well as any wall." Adona says.

------------

"Your boldness reminds me of the Osiron of old. You will have a chance to prov yourself in time. However know I must weigh the situation at hand. There are more after Rowena's hand than just you." Ildor says. "Now get on a dragon and be ready to leave. Battle awaits."

(OOC: If you wanna do a part 2 this could be a good time, leave with whoever Caedmon's leaving over be the lead in.)
