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

"Was it Amie that told you her name," she hissed and reached out to grab his shirt. Her body moving after her hand to pin him to the opposing wall of the hall, "tell me what you like about her. What is drawing you to her".
 
" It was during our few chats when... she doesn't have a mask on." He said. " I just feel very comfortable around her. plus she's beautiful." He said as he looked at her. "Can't really say that about many of the women I've met." He said.
 
"You've seen her face," Bell seemed to freeze. She dropped her old on Gabil and stood straight, "you asked for her hand correct? You want to marry my sister? Do you want to know something".

"Read my lips," Bell leaned closed to his face and raised her mask so that he could see her lips, "she will never be yours".
 
Gabil looked at her before walking away. He let out a breath as he started to leave. He walked out of the building they were in before he started to head towards Flovios. He knew that he would be needed for the war to come.
 
Bell smoothed herself up and walked to her carriage to meet her sisters, who were already there. She sat across from her sisters and looked at Amie. The youngest watching Gabil leave through the window of the carriage. Her shoulders slumped. Bell raised her head and knocked so the drive could here, "Amie. We need to talk when we get home".
 
Joseph's face dropped as the next few songs sang. Each of them more somber than the last. ' What kind of wedding is this." He thought He watched as the new bride and groom went to consimate their union. Some people fallowed them while the rest of them stayed in the dinning hall.

Avian continued to talk with his brother until he saw men in red armor march in. Two of his men tried to stop them only to get a spear threw their stomachs. A man with pale blue eyes walked in. He was tall and skinny. His hair was brown as his skin was pale. " My lord let me introduce myself i'm Prince Ryaghn Tagryn." He said as he looked at him

Harry looked as a man standing in the rain. He heard the man say a silent chant as lightning rained from the heavens killing a good portion of griffon and wyvern riders.
 
"Get those engines charged!" James Storm shouted as he fired another arrow out of Olympus' borders. At the moment, James was leading the Blackquill defenses against an all-out siege on Olympus. They were winning, but for how long?

Ezequiel was in the castle library, flipping through two books - one of their current enemy, another of the Tagryns in the past. Suddenly, a guard ran into the room.
"Lord Ezequiel! The castle is under siege!" The man shouted. Ezequiel saw an arrow headed straight towards him, and created a shield to deflect the arrow with his magic.
"How?" Ezequiel asked, frantically packing all the books concerning the Tagryns into his satchel.
"I-I don't know, sir, but it's the Tagryns!" The guard said, running over to Ezequiel.
"We have to get out of here." Ezequiel stated, taking out a Teleportation Crystal. The Blackquill leader and the guard teleported, vanishing from the room in a heavy gale.

"Mages! Shield our riders!" Falaern commanded, soaring around the sky to save her men as a green shield blocked the Lightning. "Where's Lord Xavier?! I need him to take out that Mage!"
 
Avian tried to react. " You filth." He said as he grabbed his blade and ran towards the men. One of the soldiers deflected the attack. Avian felt a hand gently grabbed his shoulder. He turned around to see Thomas looking at him. " Good bye." He said before thrusting his knife into Avian's heart. Avian tried to grab hold of Thomas as he slumped down to the floor as his life water poured out of him. His eyes closed as he looked at his brother.

Joseph sighed as the music became cheerful again. He noticed that a lot of the people were incredibly drunk. He took a sip of his wine.

Harry ran towards the mage as he used his strength to cut the man in half from the shoulder blade. He stopped as he looked behind him as two men ran towards him with their blades drawn. Xavier ran and took care of one of them as Harry took care of the other. Before either of them could talk they were hit by something as part of the ships deck went up in a ball of fire. Harry watched as other ships started to burn. He then noticed in the air as some of the wyvern and griffon riders that were still alive turned against the others.
 
Falaern was shocked. Each and everyone of the riders that weren't associated with the Blackquill had betrayed them. It was a coup. Falaern flew forwards, spear in hand, and stabbed many of the traitors. "Blackquill soldiers! Head to the ships! Rescue anyone you can!" Falaern said, swooping towards the ship.

Ezequiel turned. He was now on the wall in between the castle and the exterior, with an excellent view of the throne room. As such, he saw Avain get stabbed. Taking out two more crystals, he teleported into the room. He grabbed Avian before the others could react and jumped out the window, using another crystal before he hit the ground to vanish into the nearby forest. He gently put Avian down, looking at his wounds. "Sire, are you alright? I'm using magic to slow down everything except your brain in your body. Once we get back to Olympus, our mages can heal you."
 
" It's alright." Avian said instead of his regular voice he had a rich Flovian accent. " Your king is somewhere else." He said as he smiled at the man. He coughed as blood dripped form his mouth. Joseph let out a final breath before he died.

Avian under the disguise of Joseph continued to enjoy his time. Luckily he knew everyone would be fooled. He hoped that if this coup he's been preparing for would happen when he would appear to be the weakest.

A griffon rider flew towards Falearn. He dipped down as he swung at the griffon's legs.
 
Soren, being the most skilled in the armada, flew up and around, kicking the rider off of the griffin. Falaern pet him for this, continuing to fight.

Ezequiel sighed. "You were a brave man. Your sacrifice shall be remembered." Ezequiel said, picking up the man's body. He used a spell to create a green crystal around the body which floated behind him.
"So... what now?" the guard asked. Ezequiel turned around, noticing the guard was still with him.
"Now, we go to Olympus." Ezequiel said. "We'll need help. We'll also need to find the king and bring him to the city. If anywhere's safe, it's Olympus. James and Elona won't let me down." Ezequiel called over his griffin, Skyhawk, and the two men hopped on its back and took off, flying just under the tree tops.
 
Harry pushed on. He saw that other ships began to be set a blaze. He wondered how many men betrayed them. his thoughts snapped back to the present as he plunged his blade into on the mutineers. " Xavier you alright." He said.
"Yes." Xavier said as he slew a couple more men.

In the sky's two men tried to trap the black quill officer. One started to attack her only to be decapitated. " You okay." Crowned Princess Bethel said as she flew her Wyvern close to Falaern. She kept beside the black quill officer as if she was her wingman.

A mage on one of the other ships started another barrage of lightning.
 
Octia and Rhys stepped into the wedding. Both were wearing some of their finest clothes and the siblings split up almost immediately to cover ground. Smiles up as they spoke to the higher ranked people.
 
Avian took a sip of wine as he sang with the people. Kyle joined in though he didn't drink anything. He stopped when his eyes caught sight of Octia. He smiled a little bit as he took another sip of wine.
 
Octia continued to move through the crowd. Her back straight and hands clasped infront of her as she moved with practiced ease. She spoke carefully with a few people in passing while others she stopped to speak to.
 
Marius looked at Octia and walked up to her. " My lady." The royal guard said as he gently held her hand and kissed it. " I'm Ser Marius Kyle. Member of the Royal guard and who might you be?" He asked as his eyes met hers

Avian just watched them and simple shook his head. He started to walk around and talk to people.
 
"Octia Vixtornus," the archer hummed and once he had let go of her hand and rested it on her chest. Her eyes scanned the man over before looking around, "so what brings you to a party like this one"?
 
" Just guarding the king." Marius said as he smiled at her. " Though really it isn't the king just his decoy." He said. He figured they were there long enough to let that slip.

Avian took a swig of his wine as he heard the music change. ' on the red field the knight weeps.' The song went. Avian gently put his cup down thinking that he's had enough drink for one night. ' As the widow cries for her lost prince.'
 
Octia nodded and tilted her head. Her head turned to watch her brother as he became the usual social butterfly he was before turning back to Marius, "and here I was hoping to speak with my old friend. Business can't wait forever".
 
' People must pay the reapers price.' the song continued. Avian kept his ear glued to the violins. as he looked around. He slowly took out his hidden knife.

" Really and who might this friend be?" Kyle asked as he smiled at her. " And what business?"
 
"The King. We are old friends," Octia pulled her bangs out. Her eyes caught the gleam of a knife and the tension in the air but didn't say anything about it. She turned to look at her brother before curtsieing, "I must return to my brother. It was nice to meet you".
 
"Nice to meet you too." He said as he smiled. He then frowned as he started to pay attention to the music. ' Why would they be playing this song at a wedding?" he thought he looked at Joseph who was preparing for combat. He let out a curse as he walked closer to his brother in arms.
 
Octia strode towards her brother. The two nodding to eachother subtly as both kept eyes on their surroundings. The sister flexed the fingers of her prosthetic arm while Rhys played abit with his deceptive cane.
 
" Your grace." Lord Hunt said as he stood up with a chalste of wine. " My daughter is married and now I must give you a gift." he said. As he was talking one of hunt's men walked up to Harold Karas as he grabbed the guards head and slit his throat.
The musicians started to fire arrows at the party guests. one nailing Avian in the shoulder.

"Hey!" Bethel said to the griffon rider. " Pay attention." She said as she killed another traitor. She pushed the griffon and his rider away from a bolt of lightning.
 
Octia looked over and moved about the guests. Her hand slid to herside and she pulled at a tie that held her skirts up. The ranger slid from under them and shifted with ease into the pants and boots she had worn underneath. Her fist slammed into an attacker and she turned to snarl at lord hunt, "traitor"!

Rhys started to run towards the archers. His movement zig zagging as he turned the head of his cane and pulled out the blade hidden inside.
 
Avian leaned against a table that was turned on it's side. He broke the arrow in his shoulder and cursed. He grabbed his blade and prepaired to attack anyone who tried to get close to him.
Marius slid his blade threw one of the traitor's stomachs as he took his blade out. He ducked into the area Avian was at he saw the man and realized who he really was.

Tagryn soilders dressed in bright red armor surrounded the party guests.
 
"Rhys! Cut them down," Octia yelled as she slid and grabbed a serving tray. She spun and slammed the edge into a soldier's neck. The fingers of her prosthetic arm shifted as runes along its length lit up. The edges turning into claws that she used to slash.

Rhys chuckled and charged at the archers with both ends of his canes ready to attack.
 
Avian smiled as another group of men barged into the room they were wearing Ragorthian armor The man with short white hair was leading them had a tree with a sword inside of it as his sigil. He started to cut down the soilders as is other men helped Rhys with the archers.

Avian stood up and walked towards Lord Hunt. "Why." He said.

" You killed my son." Hunt said bitterly as he tried to attack Avian. Avian quickly pushed his blade into Lord Hunt's chest. " Fucking traitor." He said before taking the dagger out and watching the man fall to the ground. " Lord Karas." He said to the older man who led the rear charge. " I'm sorry." He said.

Agron Karas looked and saw his son slain on the ground. He dropped to his knees and cried out.

Avian let the lord be as he walked over to Octia. " Long time." He said.
 
"Why is it that whenever we meet its usually in these situations," Octia sighed and shook her head before she grabbed an incoming sword and used her flesh hand to sink a dagger into the softer parts of the attackers, "so how's the kids and the whore"?

Rhys pulled back when he was given more help and stood by ageon to pat his shoulder, "sorry bud".
 
" I don't know." He said as he saw that the rest of the soldiers fell. " The kids are great and Ethalind is doing fine." He said as he sat down. He moved his hands over his face. " This is all wrong?" He said. " Why were the Tagryns here. He stood up at the same time Agron did.
" We have at least four lords that stand by you my king." He said. " Where's Robert." He said as he looked at him.

"Protecting the Queen." He said. He then looked at everyone of the survivors of the wedding. " Ser Kyle, Lord Agron, Rhys and Octia we need somewhere quite to talk." He said.
 
"I suggest you get the kids out of the country. With the way this looked. I wouldn't trust my kids to be safe after something like that," Rhys shook his head and slid his cane sword back into his sheathe. He watched his sister's fingers turn back to normal and the ruins settle again, "can I be told what the hell is happening"?
 
"Have you ever heard of the Tagryn's before." Avian asked. He then looked at them. " Ser Robert Karas is escorting them to Pykon." he said. " Their be safe with my sister and King David." He let out a breath.
 
"Good choice," Rhys nods before he whistles. Three of his own guards walked in and started to search for survivors, "I'm gonna check for any squeakers. Octia? Stay and talk".

Octia nodded and pulled a chair over. She was wrapping a wound that a young noble had gotten before sitting up, "another war? Why can't the next one wait for us to be buried six feet under".
 
Avian chuckled. " Who knows maybe the next one will be." He said as he looked at her. "We need to go on the defensive try and keep the few lords that are still loyal to me safe from these attacks." He said looking up at her. He smiled. " So how have you been?" He asked.
 
"I'll get on putting my sentries out once I get back," Octia hummed and pulled her hair back. She shook her head and looked around be place, "I've been fine. Busy but fine. Why'd it have to be a wedding. That's not cool, ruined his daughter's big day just to get a cheap shot in".
 
" I don't know." He said. " probably thought it would be a time were people were to preoccupied drinking and being merry that they thought no one would be able to put up a fight." He said. As he looked around. " It was a shame though." He thought.
 
Octia nodded before she turned toward Avain's men. Her eyes scanning over his numbers before she kicked her feet up, "so. You thought it was a good idea to pretend to be your own body double? Risky but I guess it payed off. You aren't dead yet".
 
" Yeah I've been hearing rumors of a coup for some time now." He said he then looked at the dead Tagryn solider. " I didn't think it would get these guys involved. So me and Joseph came up with the plan to masquerade as each other just incase something like this would happen."
 
Octia nodded in acknowledgement. Her fake arm's hand tightened when her brother walked back over and she waved, "I have to go. I have things to check on so Rhys will be taking over this little talk".

Rhys waved as he strolled over. Patting his sister as she passed him.
 
Avian nodded before looking at Rhys. " So how've you been?" He asked Rhys. He smiled at the man.

Thomas walked around the throne room. He had to do it. Avian was leading them down a dark path. He was fallowing their grand farther lead which lead to his betrayal death. He looked at his men. " Find and kill every lord that won't join us." He said They nodded before leaving. He might look like a villain but he's doing what he believes is right for the good of the Ragroth. He let out a breath as he sat on the throne.
