"And if we are caught?" Jgraz asks him. "What will you do then?"

"Ehhhh either ditch you or push the guards off the cliff. Depends on how lazy I am so pray I don't end up feeling lazy" he said grinning as he walked

"I'll shoot you with a fire ball, or encase you in rock, depends on how lazy I feel." Jgraz shoots a small one close to Carson's head.

 

[Penance]

Carson casually moved his head out of the way dodged the fireball "good! As long as we're clear~" he suddenly stopped behind a rock and peaked around it


At a cave entrance there were two guards on watch


"Hmm what to do....."

"Your idea, you're leading." Jgraz tells him and waits for him to decide.

Carson think for a bit contemplating their options then looked to jgraz grinning "hit a wall by them with a fire ball."

"Okay..." Jgraz summons it and hits the wall, ducking behind a rock.

 

[Penance]

"Okay..." Jgraz summons it and hits the wall, ducking behind a rock.

Rocks from the destroyed wall started to fall freaking the guards out. While they were distraction Carson quickly made a run for the cave entrance assuming jgraz would follow

Jgraz runs after Carson, diving into a cave and behind a rock he catches his breath, silently, he looks to Carson.

Carson landed on his back and sighed "Welp we're in!" He jumped up and dusted himself off and kept walking "well come on we don't want them to know we're here!!"

 

[Mmetafour]

Locke had just finished up searching around the Demon's Den, finding no sign of his sister, or of any bandits.He decided to start heading in a random direction, taking to the air and flying. As he flew, he spotted a few bandit camps not too far from home, but the bodies probably got them to reconsider seizing it for a while. As he landed on a roof about an hour away, he spotted something odd. People, but not bandits. One of them had red hair and the other was wearing some kind of crown. Locke crouched to stay low and avoid being spotted. Whoever these people were, they weren't bandits. Not by a long shot. This time, instead of rushing in, he decided to scout these people out, following them and seeing what they were up to.
@Mmetafour

Sara positioned her spear against the back of her neck, placing her arms over the long pole as she looked over at Saij. "What do you think your mother has planned for today? Did you even tell her you were leaving?" Saij's eyebrows rise "There's no way I could leave without telling her, she'd be more cross than all the sandstorms in this desert if I just, suddenly disappeared without warning. I'm sure she's got everything handled back at the camp, and we collected plenty of dresk root, exactly like she asked." he shook his head looking in front of them as they started the assent up a dune. Sara, glanced behind them, making sure to manipulate the sand and cover their tracks. "we haven't run into any bandits lately" she said, looking up toward Saij as he adjusted the bag at his side. "Thats because you're such a hard worker" he smiled back at her "covering up the tracks of an entire nomadic group as we slink through the sand?" he gave a slight head shake and smirk. "You deserve a medal" The two of them cautiously reached the top of the dune, checking for tracks and smoke, anywhere they could see, taking note of the huge walls of the ancient kingdom.

 

[shadowstrikr25]

Locke was still following, noticing something he found odd. The one with the crown was wearing Air Kingdom robes. Also, one of them was using some kind of manipulation to cover their tracks. From this distance, he couldn't tell which one. And then there were rumors of a Nomad King wandering the sands. Was this the guy? Locke got very curious and decided to start trailing closer to them, trying to pick up on their conversation, moving along the old walls and roofs a bit faster until he could hear what they were saying clearly.

After confirming there were no immediately troublesome signs of bandits the two continued over the top of the dune. Sara cupped a hand full of sand, holding her spear in the pit of her arm, some of it streaming from her fingers, as it warped in her hands bending and turning to the shape of a dagger, still retaining its golden brown color, but sleek and smooth. "That one looks good" Saij glances over. "y'know I really wish you'd concentrate on making things other than weapons every once in a while" he gave her a reluctant frown. "I have to practice weapons" she said, laughing a bit "what am I gonna protect you with when someone comes after you? a chair?" she waved the dagger around, changing her voice to that of a bandit "ha he ha Nomad king! I've come to end your life" she swings the dagger as Saij began to laugh lightly. She suddenly switched to a much higher pitched version of her own voice "oh no! please wait while I make you a seat, I'd like you to at least be comfortable while you stab us in the back" She crushed the dagger between her palms, letting it fall away as dust. "if your chair is comfortable enough, maybe he wouldn't WANT to stab us in the back" Saij smiled as they made their way down the other side of the dune, starting to leave the sight of their onlooker. Sara nudged him lightly "pfff...I'll tell you what, I'll fill their bodies with daggers, swords and spears, and then I'll make them a nice chair to sit in while they die, hmm? sound good?"

[Pandorian]

Abzidian gave a hearty laugh. "Hahaha, I'm not the kind one should bow, for, whelp. I just did my job." He bowed back. "I thank you for appreciating my work... General. Galandor has put his trust on you, and if my king did it, I will too." He now was bowing back in respect. "A volcano is no match for the sun I'm afraid." Galandor said, while laughing. "Well, I guess the army is already assembled and the courtyard is prepared. Your blades, proof of your title, will be given at the ceremony. You'll have to hold your heart a little more.b But I think you'll like it." Galandor did a mock whisper. "Just a sneak peek: I've infused the blades with a special incantation. I think It'll match your style quite well." He grinned, then pushed the girl into the armor. "Come on, get ready. When you're done, come to the courtyard, and we'll start the ceremony." Galandor gave a salute and left, leaving Elsbeth and Abzidian alone. "Mighty fine man, the king." Abzidian said, while taking the armor out of the mannequin and putting them on the table. "He worked the whole night for the blades, y'know. It shows how much he cares about those who are close to him." He said, while putting the final piece at the table. "There we go. Now, if you excuse me, I need to put on some clean clothes, I won't miss this celebration for nothing in the world." He grinned and then left.

You could say that again, Elsbeth thought. It took some dedication to abide by such a busy lifestyle, but in retrospective it seemed that she would soon be living something similar. But that was not to say that she wasn't grateful for the position - the status and responsibility seemed a little daunting, is all. Bringing her attention back to the armour, she found an appropriate place to change, and began suiting herself up. Piece by piece, the armour fit with surprising ease. Each part was flexible, light, yet felt durable and sustainable, the armour easy enough to slip into and out of. Its' exquisite detail filled her with confidence - confidence that she'd certainly need for the ceremony. After a few adjustments, Elsbeth hastily folded her clothing and left it on the workbench for the time being, before departing with the helm held at her side.


Elsbeth's travel back into the palace was swift, arriving within the turn of the hour. Observing the courtyard decorated in its completion, she was awed once more by the transformative nature of it all. Looking towards the main part of the courtyard, she noticed the crowd had grown since her previous visit - was to be expected, considering the ceremony was soon due to start. She recognized their garments - a mix between soldiers of the Blaze Guard, and nobles of Orbis, and they made a fair combination, if she had ever seen one. Midst this, Elsbeth struggled to see Galandor, but dared not to call out his name in case she brought the crowd's attention upon herself too early. It would be bad to ruin such a surprise so early.

[Kitsu]

After returning and sneaking back into the blacksmith, Sora had assumed he'd gotten way with no one knowing he had been gone. That assumption was shattered when the Blacksmith owner walked to Sora's room and glared at him.


"where the hell were you earlier." The blacksmith owner was pissed, but one could not tell at a single glimpse. He had a large muscled frame. It was fitting of someone who worked in smithing.


Sora Tried to lie due to thinking the owner not being mad with his deceptively calm tone of voice. "i was here.... sleeping." even as the words left his mouth. Sora knew he'd screwed up when the owners face change from neutral to pissed in an instant.


"DON'T LIE TO ME!" the owner shouted and then took a second to calm down enough so he wasn't yelling... loud enough to be heard outside the building. "i have told you you many times. you. are. not. to go. outside." with every word the owner put an increasingly heavy emphasis on each word.


Sora stared at the floor and stayed silent as the owner yelled. He knew the owner wouldn't get rid of him as long as he provided gems for the owner. "yes sir" was all he said.


The owner looked as if he was going to say more but decided not to and turned to walk out of the room. a muttered "if it wasn't for your providing of gems. i wouldn't be dealing with you."


Sora heard a click from the door to his room that the owner had just closed and walked over to it a tried the door. It was a door that could only be locked from the outside and right now it was exactly that, locked. Normally, the owner would probably keep locking this door now, until he forgets to keep locking it or until he is too lazy to keep locking it everyday.

Locke was at least a little amused. These guys didn't seem to be causing any harm. Plus he found that Nomad King guy. Things are comin' up Locke. The only downside, they were going over the dune, and it was going to get trickier to follow without being seen over open dessert. And then Locke decides to introduce himself, and with style. First, he made sure his hood was up. Nothing messes up a first encounter like racial stereotypes. He waited until they were near the bottom of the dune, then using his wind manipulation to surf down the dune, arcing himself so that he stops in front of them. "Well you two are being careful ain't ya? Sup." Locke was standing ready to move if he needed to.


@Mmetafour

 

[Mmetafour]

Sara's spear instantly found its way to her hands, twirling around her back and stopping steadily, the fine tip pointed directly at Locke as she stared at him. Her features twisted into a glare nearly sharper than her spear, aside from that she was, when compared to the bandits usually seen in the desert, exotically stunning, her red hair flowing down her cheeks and her green eyed gaze piercing him. Her body was already in a battle ready position, tho it was something unrecognizable, perhaps some ancient pose or something new and unique to this one girl. Sara's reaction wasn't too surprising for someone in the desert, but Saij, this young boy did nothing. He hadn't moved into a position for defending or parrying, he hadn't jumped or dodged, his eyebrows had moved up in surprise, but he didn't react other than that. "hello" he greeted with a smile, one of his hands moving up as he waved lightly. "we didn't hear you approach, that's very impressive"

[Airagog]

Bellatrix held him for a very, very long time before looking up at him very sad eyes. "Y-You're gonna come back to me..right?" She asked him, her face showing just how afraid she was of him never coming back after he left. It had been on her mind since last night and worried the hell out of her, and now that it was actually time for him to leave..she didn't want to let him go. Bellatrix normally was not that clingy of a person, unless she loved you. If she truly loved someone, when they left she'd worry about them until she heard of their death or when they finally told her to leave them be. Even still, the second option could send her to..dark places. For many years Bellatrix had been one to hide how much she truly loved a person until they left her, or until she lifted her walls just a bit. In this case, she didn't care at all who was watching or what they thought. She loved Aermik and letting him go, even just for a little while hurt. A lot.
@Airagog

Aermik nodded, smiling warmly at her. "I promise, I'll be back with our daughter as soon as I can be." He embraced her again. This was what he did all of it for. He just had to remember that she was worth it all, no matter how many times he had to die or suffer she was worth it in the end. "I'll always be at your side as long as you want me. To be, I promise."

 

[shadowstrikr25]

Locke raises his hands once he gets a spear pointed at his face. "Hey, hey! Easy there, I didn't insult your mom." Locke saw that the robes Saij wore were Air Kingdom common robes, odd for one called the Nomad King. And then Saij spoke about his stealth skills. "Hey, if I didn't see you guys, I wouldn't be able to find you. Your footprints just disappear. Now if I was a bandit, you'd hear me coming." Locke then used a finger to push Sara's spear away from his face. "Can you tell her to stop pointing that at me? It's very distracting."


@Mmetafour

 

[KhalZhavvorsa]

Bellatrix gave him a small smile before burring her face into his chest once more. "G-Good..cause I'll always want you around. Always." She mumbled into his chest. Some of it wasn't very clear, but the gist of what she could say to the loving pet was 'I'll always want you.' Which was true. Bellatrix would always want him. Perhaps not in the way he wanted, but still she wanted him. Aermik was very dear to her and of course she knew she had to let him go sooner or later, but she really..really didn't want to.


@Airagog

 

[Mmetafour]

"unfortunately I cant" Saij, smiled apologetically "I'm a bit too trusting, and naive, my friend insists on protecting me from people who she doesn't trust, and...she doesn't trust anyone who we don't free from the bandits" he shrugged "you could always try asking her yourself" "what do you want?" Sara asked coldly, still holding Locke at spear point. Saij smiled at him, his expression asking the same question, albeit more politely.


@shadowstrikr25

 

[shadowstrikr25]

Locke chuckled. "What do I want? I want to satisfy my curiosity." Locke smiled. "I heard of someone called the Nomad King wandering around here. I figured if I found them, I would say hi. So are you the Nomad King? Slayer of bandits, hero of the people, yada yada yada." Locke then looked Sara in the eye. "Could you please put the spear down? Do I look like the kind of guy who would attack after giving away the element of surprise? Even I know that's just dumb." Locke may be an idiot, but he does have some common sense.


@Mmetafour

 

[Mmetafour]

She tilted her head "how about we lay and talk hmm? that'd make me more comfortable" she suggested, giving him a smirk "you want my trust, then you trust me". Saij sighed, closing his eyes and shaking his head a bit "thats right, you found me, I'm the one known as the Nomad King, hero of the people, the one true heir. Slayer of bandits is new" he nodded laughing a bit to himself as he slowly began to lower himself to the sand, sitting, his legs crossed as hes joined by Sara, who still has her eyes glued to Locke. "consider your curiosity quenched" he shrugged "I certainly hope I'm all that you imagined, traveling alone in the desert with my one companion and my bag full of dresk root"


(hahahah I'm so used to writing in present tense, not past tense, I have to keep re writing all these responses over)


@shadowstrikr25

 

[shadowstrikr25]

Locke sat down as well and let out a chuckle. "I just heard about you from some bandits. I really didn't have anything on you other than your title. Never heard about the one true heir, though. What like, one true heir of the homeless?" Locke laughed a bit at his own joke. Locke also noticed Sara's continued death glare, promptly ignoring it. If he really needed to defend himself, he could always use a wind barrier. Bound to turn a few heads.


@Mmetafour

 

[Mmetafour]

Sara's face turned to more of a smile as they sat down, true to her word, she DID seem more comfortable as they sat. "I didn't come up with any of those names" Saij simply shook his head and smiled, laughing a bit at the joke himself "they were thrust upon me, although I have to say, its flattering that even bandits have taken to using the names, I didn't know I was so popular" he held his hand out to Locke "I am Saij Tacllam, just a kid from the dead kingdom". Sara placed her spear in the sand, putting her hands against the warm grains of dust and sifting her fingers through it softly, still keeping an eye on the both of them silently.
