Korgan barrelled through the doorway to the stables, followed closely by Sammael. The pair were red-faced, having raced as fast as possible from Korgan's quarters. Both of the figures' weapons were drawn and showed signs of use. Panting, Korgan looked at the rest of the group before nodding to Sammael. The two shook hands before the young soldier headed back into the castle to rejoin the battle. Turning, Korgan made his way towards the rest of the group, sighing as he looked at the horses.

"Great. I just love horse-riding."

He winced as a thunderous boom echoed from above the castle, waves of magic were making his skin prickle. Korgan looked again to the others, eyeing Frederick.

"Where are we heading?"

Lucidas stood up and said "Finally, everyone is here... wait, are they?" as he looked around.

He then continued "You know, you arent a perceptive bunch... and loud too. I was the first here and none of you noticed me? Well, its good to know my 'allies' are dull of sense and sight. I hope your blades dont follow in suit or you might not survive this, after all I can only save so many of you.", he burst out laughing at their chances of survival.

"It would seem you're not all-perceptive as well!" Alexia said loudly. She was being pushed away by one of the guards that had rudely waken her, and now stood with wild hairs next to her small breed of horses. She sniffed. The air bore the smeel and the touch of magic. Someone had cast massive spells this night.

"What's going on?" she asked. More to herself than to the rest.

Spoiler: Sorry.

For the late comments. Headaches.

 

[Kinguendo]

Lucidas quickly replied "I am sorry that I havent got every single memeber of this group memorised in the day that I have known of you all... Then again I never claimed to be perceptive, I'm not an Elf after all. Oh and I was sat over there the entire time, not a single person noticed I was there." he finishes cynically with "After all, its easier to recognise when someone is sat 8 feet away from you compared to when they arent there at all.".

"Little Oktra Female, sorry i do not know your name, but don't you think that horse will be to slow? You could easily ride with me so we can quicken our pace." Eiravel looked down at her and ovvered a gloved hand, "My name is Eiravel Cyredrahel, Sworn body guard to Princess Arri, and loyal sword to the Elven empire. I promise you would be no burden at all."

Arri's ears picked up the many sounds that came from the castle. Most of them were blood curdling screams. She tried to not listen to them, but her Elven ears could pick up almost everything. Letting go of the reins Arri covered her ears.

I can't stand listening to that. All of those people are in pain and I cannot do anything about it.

 

[SimpleChimp]

Eiravel looked over at Arri and wrapped his arm around her shoulders

"Shhhh, Don't worry dear. Just listen to my voice, just focus on my voice." He began to hum an elven tune for her, an intricate little ballad.

"Try to focus on the words, trust me it will help." He let the tune fill his mouth, and it spilled over with a haunting Elvish tone. The old language wove lives through the air and danced around her fingers.

A story about love and loss, about a soldier in the battle field and his wife back home. A song that cut through the noise like an arrow and found her ears.

 

[SamuelT]

"Er, sure?" She said when he turned away and started to sing in an alien language to the female elf.

She patiently waited until someone told what or where they'd be going next.

What the bloody hell. Report him and ignore. Also, sorry for the short post, a bit busy atm.

"Alexia!" chirped Paldo, leaning perilously over the side of the saddle to turn and face her. He grinned brightly, resisting the temptation to wave.

"I am not quite sure what's going on, also. Apparently we're in danger, but I see no such thing!"

 

[Time Travelling Toaster]

Spoiler: Gah

I'm just dragging TW with us till he posts >.>

Spoiler: Thanks

Thanks CantFakeTheFunk!

"We're not in danger?" Fredrick repeats gob smacked, "look at the sky Paldo, even for magic users, that's a feat of some power..."

He shakes his head to clear the thought out his brain.

"But we shall be able to regroup when we get to the tunnel system..." he climbs onto his horse, "Sammael, you know the way as well, if not better than me, so please lead the way..."

The group begins to trot out in the horses, the giants of the Altrin standing outside the main castle gate, leaning over the wall so their riders can gain access.

 

[Kinguendo]

Lucidas chuckles and sarcastically replies "Some power... but not much.".

He looks around him to see a crowd of serious faces and greets their objections with "Oh, is this not a time for jokes?", scratching his head in bemusement he continues "But its always a good time for jokes, you guys need to lighten up. So the world is in danger of being destroyed, it could be worse... they could have sent US to fix the problem... Oh, wait..." as he begins to laugh again.

Spoiler: ....

Does anyone else feel like posting? OR will I just bump this along....

 

[Shapsters]

Spoiler: Well...

I don't really know where you want us to go with this, I would post but... well I don't know what to do really!

Spoiler: Well...

I don't really know where you want us to go with this, I would post but... well I don't know what to do really!

Well, you could describe how you feel about seeing the actual giants that stormed the castle and how you feel about running away really, but if you wish I'll just jump it to the next bit

I was waiting for Alexia to reply.. But she's vanished.. So maybe just bump it along?

 

[SamuelT]

Spoiler: Well,

Spoiler: OOC

I was waiting for Alexia to reply.. But she's vanished.. So maybe just bump it along?

I was waiting for Alexia to be pulled, or let on, the horse of the elf. How ironic, we've been waiting for eachother all along.

 

[SimpleChimp]

Spoiler: ooc

I was waiting on Arri

Eiravel hoisted Alexia on his horse, and placed her infront of him like Arri did to paldo.

"This is going to be a hard ride, so hold on tight little one"

 

[ae86gamer]

Spoiler: Sorry

Dragon Age has been consuming my life. >_>

Arri calmed down slightly when Eiravel sang to her. She had remembered her mother singing her the same tales when she was a child.

She smiled weakly. "Thank you Eiravel... Thank you very much."

 

[Aqualung]

Spoiler: That's okay

Sorry, Dragon Age has been consuming my life. >_>

Arkham Asylum has been consuming my life, too. ;P

Paldo looked up to Arri as her body, which had turned rigid from what he could not hear, began to soften. He smiled softly. Though he was still a little panicked, the horrors of what was occurring so close nearby seemed to have little effect on him.

"I'm sure after we leave this place, I could make us all a nice, toasty stew!" The Altrin could enslave the world, but so long as he had a little snack, he'd be alright for sure.

 

[SamuelT]

Alexia looked up to the elf and said her thanks. She looked ahead and behind her, searching for shapes that could indicate danger. This tension and energy hanging in the air was starting to make her scared.

She spoke one of her own spells softly, to clear the air around her head. It lessened the feeling of discomfort somewhat.
