Ask to Join Chronicals of Necros: Return of the Tagryn Empire (Prologue)

[Nyxel]

Kylie sighed then she started to walk a little forward then she asked again " hello anyone home " she asked , it was quite or so she thought she could hear people's she guessed they didn't care.

 

[Jagson]

Gabil's ears perked up. " I think I heard something I'll be right back." He said as he walked he saw a girl drenched in water. He took off his coat and wrapped it around her. " Are you okay?" he asked.

 

[Stormursa]

"Spectacles? What do you speak of," the black haired sister turned to look at her silent blonde haired sibling. The blonde sat still and watched Gabil leave. She flinched when she felt a sharp pinch to her side from her older sister who whispered, "you better have not shown your face".

"Avain. Please don't talk like that. It scares me," Ethalind spoke in a hushed tone as she raised a hand to caress his cheek. She looked at him with sad eyes.

 

[Nyxel]

Kylie nodded " yeah I kind of got caught in the storm and stuck outside but now I'm OK " she said then she looked at him " thanks " she said drowning " hey do you have any girl dry clothes"

 

[Jagson]

"It'll be alright." He said as he walked her to the main room with the girls. " Ladies this woman seems to have been caught in a storm is there any clothes she could borrow." He asked.

 

[Stormursa]

The eldest sister stood and bowed to the girl before motioning towards a hall, "we have clothes that she may use but they are dresses if she does not mind? We have no clothes like her's or yours".

A maid walked out and bowed to the group, ready to lead the new guest to the room where she could change.

 

[Jagson]

He looked at her with a grimaced face. " I knew this might happen." He said He then looked at Ethalind and gently held her hand. "Everything will be alright." He said smiling at her.

 

[Nyxel]

Kylie blushed as she put on the underwear and put on the dress., it was red with a bit of blue in it " wow this is cute " she said twirling in her dress then she started to go to the Main room and she blushed sitting down near the sisters.

 

[Jagson]

"So where were we?" Gabil asked as he looked at the three sisters and the new lady that joined them.

 

[Stormursa]

"We had just finished learning about you. What was the forest like when you were there," the eldest was the one to speak again. The other two had their heads bowed so that they looks at their laps. The black haired sister watched their guests.

 

[Jagson]

"It was calm and peaceful." He said as he looked at her. " While less developed then other kingdoms the people look out for each other. Though as soon as you do something the high priest and council disagrees with everyone turns against you." He said. " Their act like Elyon is so important yet either people are too coddled by what the higher ups say that they don't read the scrolls or in terms of the council and the high priest or hypocrites who exploit the religion for their own personal gain.' He said He then looked at the new girl. " What about you?" He asked. "What can you tell us about yourself?"

 

[Mechanist Gamma]

"We've established the Council Hall, as well as the groundwork for the upper and lower districts. Commander Dulvac is helping set up defenses of the city in case of attack. We've still got to work out and build locations for jobs, produce and transportation. And after that, we've still got to convince non-Blackquill citizens to come live in the city. Elona is taking care of those last two things." Ezequiel responded, nodding to the host's brother. "And I may just take you up on the offer of looking at those magical artifacts. The Blackquill does have some cash." Ezequiel was finished talking, but he was distracted by three men wearing fancy cloaks walking past him. "Rhys, are these men invited to the party?"

Falaern was flying towards Onyx when she saw something strange. A small camp of people she didn't recognise - their clothes were foreign. She hadn't been spotted, so she decided to investigate. Quietly landing Soren, she snuck towards the camp. Hiding behind a tree, she listened in on the conversation that was taking place.
(Jag, mind telling me what they're saying?)

 

[Stormursa]

"They sound horrible," the eldest sister agreed. She turned to the guest that she had just given clothes to and tilted her head, "yes. Who are you and why do you come here drenched in water"?

"I did not," Rhys growled over his glass before cheering up. He looked to his brother who nodded before the mob boss like lord's younger sibling disappeared into the crowd. Rhys grabbed three things of ale before he went over to greet them, "why hello there! Care for a drink"?

 

[Mechanist Gamma]

"No, thank you." the three men said, slightly bowing before continuing on the path they were walking. They were walking towards the king and queen in a non-threatening manner, but Ezequiel was still cautious. Carefully, he got up and began to follow the men. As he passed Rhys, he whispered "keep your men on guard".

 

[Stormursa]

"Already on it," Rhys moved back infront of the man. He was a sickly sweet smile and pushed a mug of ale into his chest, "I was trying to be polite. See this is a private party and if you take one step forward I'll have to get yah throw out before the host of this party sees".

Edward had alerted the guards before climbing secretly onto the darkened rafters of the roof. Hidden within the shadows he notched an arrow and drew back to wait for the right moment.

 

[Mechanist Gamma]

"Afraid we'll have to crash the party, then." The leader of the group said. He kicked Rhys back as the other two men drew swords and ran towards the king. People began to scream and run, but Ezequiel ran in front of Avian and drew his dual katana. He blocked both strikes, disarmed the men, and kicked them both to the ground. The leader took out two hand-axes as the other two rolled upon the impact and drew knives.
"Rhys, you alright?" Ezequiel asked nonchalantly.

 

[Stormursa]

"Perfect," Rhys caught himself. He smashed the two mugs together, breaking them and causing a miniature explosion of the liquid they held inside. He then grinned feraly as his men surrounded their guests and threw him his sword and dagger.

Edward narrowed his eyes and let his arrow fly into the back of the knee of one of the grunts. He then notched another one quickly and sent it into the same grunt's elbow.

 

[Mechanist Gamma]

The grunt hit by the arrows dropped his knives, but then began to use some magic he had concealed in an amulet he was wearing to burn away the arrows and cauterize the wounds. The other grunt ran towards Ezequiel, trying to stab him, but the Blackquill leader back-flipped out of the way and jabbed the assassin in the lower chest. Nowhere vital, but still painful enough to cause the assassin to drop his weapons and crumple to the ground in pain. The leader was knocked back by the explosion, but rolled with the hit. He charged Rhys, brandishing his hand-axes.

 

[Stormursa]

Edward continued to shoot his arrows into the joints of the man while other guards for the party moved into grab him. His eyes narrowing when he saw the threat to his brother.

Rhys laughed before he charged as well, using the length of his sword to slash at the boss. His teeth bared into a grin like snarl as his eyes flashed with wild delight, "now don't be going easy on me"!

 

[Jagson]

Avian saw the boss of the group he took out his dagger and plunged it into the man's heart. " How about you both get out of here before you fallow in your leaders fate." He said.

 

[Mechanist Gamma]

The grunt still able to move threw a potion at the leader, which seemingly stopped him from dying. "We've got business with ya, mate. Hope you stay on guard from now on." The leader threw a smoke bomb on the ground, and he and his moving lackey vanished. There was still one left - the one the arrows were shot into.
"I've never seen a potion like that, nor people like that." Ezequiel said, walking over to the hooded figure in pain. Taking off the hood, the figure was revealed to be a man with a long red beard and short hair. There was also a brand on the side of his neck. "Avian, do you recognize this mark?"

 

[Nyxel]

Kylie looked down at her feet then she put her two daggers on the table and she smiled " I'm a professional assassin ....but I have got any jobs and I'm looking for something or someone to work with. " she smiled " my names Kylie " she looked at them and smiled

 

[Stormursa]

Rhys poutted when he wasn't able to kill a one and swathed his blades once more. He crossed his arms and chuckled darkly, "even if Avian doesn't know I can get this little worm to talk".

Edward leaped down from the rafts and put his bow on his back. The archer looked around to see if anyone else had been hurt in the fight.

"It is nice to meet you," the eldest sister bowed her head respectively before sitting straight again. She picked up her glass of wine and moved her mask up a small bit.

 

[Jagson]

Avian looked at the mark. He shook his head no as he looked at the man. " weird." He said as he looked at it. "Any of you guys have any ideas about who these might be?" He asked. he looked at Rhys and nodded his head.

Gabil took a sip of his drink. He looked at the women. " So ladies are you from Pykon or does your house have enough influence to have estates all over Necros." He asked.

 

[Stormursa]

Rhys whistled and five of his best trained guards stepped forward to escort their prisoner. He looked back at the his friends then at the few remaining guests, "well. Why don't we make this affair more private"?

"We have stays around. This is the kingdom that birthed us though we feel no parental connection to it," the eldest slid her mask down once she finished her wine and blinked.

 

[Jagson]

Avian agreed as he walked back to Ehtiland and kissed her lips. " Sorry I have to go. I'll be back tonight." He said before kissing her again.
He walked back to Rhys and Ezekiel. " Alright let's do this." He said as he looked at the two."

Gabil simply nodded to that as he finished the drink in front of him.

In the Oasis city of Narem in Hethia a fleet of ships nears. They open fire on the city their cannon balls ripping threw the silent night. The Ragrothian ambassador Harry Rylon the second prince of Ragroth gathered what troops he could muster as he waited for the coming battle.

 

[Stormursa]

Rhys nodded his head. He stretched his arms above his head before motioning for his guards to gather up their prisoner. He looked at Edward and his brother crossed his arms, "I'll take the queen back to the castle. Our routes will be much safer".

Ethalind looked at the archer and rolled her eyes before kissing Avain's cheek, "alright. Don't get hurt".

 

[Jagson]

Avian grabbed the man and threw him into a cellar. " It's time for you to talk." He said as he looked at the man his eyes were hallow as he looked at the man. " Who do you work for?" He asked.

 

[Stormursa]

Rhys leaned himself against the wall. His knife was being thrown up into the air then caught once more, "would you like anything Avain? Drinks, a chair, torture tools? I can get all three of you want".

 

[Jagson]

"I'm fine." He said. He cracked his knuckles as he looked at the man. " So who sent you." He said as he looked a the man.

 

[Mechanist Gamma]

"Figure it out yourselves." the man said, chuckling.
Ezequiel then walked into the room. "I had a few men investigate the brand on his neck. It's the symbol of a foreign kingdom. Take a look at the report." Ezequiel handed Avian a folder with papers inside.

 

[Jagson]

Avian looked at the report. " A hydra." He said as he looked at what that brand was. "Jabel." He said. His heart pounded he heard about the old king of Necros. " No this can't be right." He said.

 

[Mechanist Gamma]

"Your father is dead, so something must be wrong." Ezequiel responded, beginning to pace. "What do you know of the old king?"
"Nothing. Never met him. Only heard of him from drunks talking in bars about their old lives in Necros."
"So you're foreign, then? Where from?"
"Do you really think I'd tell you?"

 

[Stormursa]

"Well. You don't have to. Say how do you like your toe nails? I think I know a way they'd look way better or maybe we should take a note from Ethalind's book and lock you in a dark empty cell for a couple days," Rhys laughed as he stepped forward with his knife.

 

[Jagson]

Avian simply lifted his hand and looked at the man. " What do you know of house Tagryn's" he said. He then looked at the man. " The symbol is that of a hydra. The Foreign country is that of Jabel." he said.

 

[Mechanist Gamma]

"I'll tell you this - we were hired to kill the royal family. That's all I'm saying." The man said, beginning to laugh.
"Don't kill him." Ezequiel said, staring at Rhys. "He may have some use to us yet. If his mouth won't talk... well, let's just say we Blackquill know other ways."

 

[Stormursa]

"But that's no fun," Rhys whined like a child. He folded his arms after sheathing his weapon before leaning back against the wall. He glared angrily before he leaned closer to one of his men. He listened to the information and smiled, "I got to go".

 

[Jagson]

Avian nodded then headed towards the door. " I have to look in on something." He said. " The prisoner is all yours." He said before heading off. He had to check with the other Royals to see if anything was happening on any of their ends.

 

[Stormursa]

"Oh! Avain before you leave. Levi wants to know if Percy or any of the others will be attending his birthday party," Rhys called as he walked backwards down the hall. He was grinning like a Cheshire Cat while tucking something behind his back.

 

[Jagson]

" Yes they will be." Avian said as he looked at him. " Tell Levi and that lover of yours hi for me." He said as he waved his friend good bye. He then stopped. " Ezekiel... Rhys I'll be needing both of your assistance." He said. " Meet me at Dragon's Vail in two days." He said speaking of one of the lands that connected Pykon, Flovios and Ragroth together.
