Natalia smiled then cried." I'll be the death of you. If I go against my fathers wishes he will kill me and probably anyone I care about. Go save yourself . I can't kill Torsh.I'm poison if you stay you'll die." She kisses him passionately. She starts to run away.
Torsh looked upon Audrey and kissed her.
"I don't know about you, but I'm tired and need more sleep." He then yawned and virtaully fell into his sleeping bag.
Natalia trips. " Crap! I'm actually injured this time." She notices a foot had tripped her.It was a man . He began kicking her repeatedly and threw her machettes out of reach. She lay there bleeding and nearly dead. He whispered something in her ear and left her to die.
"Remember, I'll be with them, tell that to the others too" said Nero to Merky as both of them leaved the pub "No need to worry for now, I will make my move when the time is right, until then, I'll just play dumb"
"That should come natural then" said Merky "I'll tell the boys that, and I shall be there when you need me Nero, remember that, we take care of our own" he reminded him
"I know, just don't interfere unless it goes down, got it?"
"Yes, sir. I'll do as instructed, I'll see you later boss"
And with that, the two of them parted ways, Nero Walked to a tree near the camp, climbed it, and sat down on one of the branches, looking atthe stars
"I hope everything goes as planned, or it will be troublesome", and with that said, he fell sleep
Audrey shivered. That kiss was the first kiss she had before. She looked down at Torsh, as he went in his sleeping bag. Tears fell from her eyes. "Good... good night, Torsh."
She sat there, staring at him. Audrey wanted to gaurd him from any danger. Because he was next in line for the Throne... and she cared about him. Audrey shook her head, and wiped the tears. "I will go where ever you go, Torsh. I myself can't stand to see you get hurt," she whispered to herself.
Ferc ran quickly to her aid. "What happened? No. Wait. Save your energy. I'll heal you." he said, pulling out his healing kit. "I'm not losing you, too." He started right away to heal her.
" I love you ." Natalia says as she passes out from the loss of blood.
((Note this a NPC))
A cloaked figure jumped down from high above and landed on his feet.
"Young man you cannot save her, another five minutes and she's dead" he said croakily.
"I can save her. I am a wizard, let me do it."
Ferc moves out of the way, but holds Natalia's hand. Please, let her live. Ferc thought desperately.
"You may have stopped her bleeding, but her brain damage is impossible to heal without brain damage. Will you let me save her? Or shall I leave you?"
Natalia wakes up with Ferc and a wizard beside. She smiles." Who do I have the honor of thanking for saving me?"
Ferc stared at Natalia's awakening. "The thanks would belong to me. As for payment of healing you..." He said. He then kissed her. "I thought you were trying to trick me again with the 'damsel in distress' card again. But, I was wrong." Ferc said.
The Wizard points his crooked finger at Natalia's head and it twinkled and sparkled.
"No need for thanks" then he disappeared from thin air.
" I was heavily bleeding , what you thought it was fake blood!" she tries to get up but lays back down in pain.
In Torsh's dreams he could see people dieing in the Kingdom. It wast errible. Was this the future?
Audrey went out of the tent, and looked back. She smiled at the sight of the sleeping Torsh. Standing a few feet away from the tent, Audrey heard Tyla's voice. "Audrey. You look troubled. What's wrong?" The young woman looked down and sighed.
"Well... I'm worried about Torsh. What if he gets hurt and... it's all my fault?" She looked down, and covered her eyes. "You love him... don't you?" Audrey glanced up at the night sky. "Yes. But I need to stay focused on what's really going on. All of a sudden... everyone is feeling love."
The thought of love kept hurting Audrey inside, because she didn't want to lose Torsh. She also didn't want to lose the others too.
Tyla felt Audrey's heart. "Do not worry, child. You're feelings for him and everyone else makes you grow more. Don't let it go to waste." Audrey nodded. "Now... go get you some rest. And remember... I'm always there for you."
"Thank you, Grandma." Audrey went back in the tent, and stared at Torsh. Being a gaurdian wasn't easy, but she had to do what she had to do. She smiled, and tried to fight away the sleepiness.
Natalia weakly made her way to Audrey. " I was hired to kill your love. I will not do it if and only if you guys can protect Ferc. I do not care if I live or die but my love must be protected. Can your group do this? The man who attacked me was my own father.He said I had betrayed him and he's right." she asked Audrey.
Audrey turned to Natalia and felt her pain. She didn't want this assassin to kill Torsh, or there was going to be problems. Audrey even understood that Natalia loved Ferc, and it was cruel that her own father beated her. Audrey nodded and placed a hand on Natalia's shoulder.
"Don't worry, Natalia. We'll make sure Ferc is safe with us. I promise. I guess we girls learned the true meaning of love." Audrey looked back at Torsh, and smiled. Then she turned back to Natalia, with concern in her eyes. "I can't believe your own father hurted you. That's so... evil."
Nero woke from the voices, and began to listen to the conversation
How unusual he tought, and continued to pay attetion
Yeah my family will be a threat to Torsh. I can't stop that but I can protect Torsh."Natalia said." Are you gonna stand there all day Nero , I know your there.''
"I was getting up to greet you" said Nero, stepping out of the shadows
"This night stinks of blood" he noticed, "seems you have lost some too; So what are you doing here?"
" Finally doing the right thing for once. You stink of ale. At the nearest bar were you?" she said to Nero.
"Trying to drown my sorrow of losing two beautiful girls to strangers" Nero joked "Nothing like some ale to help me relax, you should try it sometime, you're always tense"
He looked at Audrey, "how's Mr. royalty doing?"
" You could try fighting for one of us. Give those other guys a run for their money. " she goes over and whispers in Nero's ear," It's not like theres rings on our fingers , nothing is written in stone."
Nero laughed out loud
"Natalia, who do you think you're talking to? Don't insult me by tempting me with false words"
He then moved closer to her and whispered at her ear "I'll be watching you and that friend of yours, don't piss me off beautiful, or I could give you a spanking you would never forget"
" I just got my butt kicked by my own dad.Watch all you want. I can't speak for Ferc but I don't plan on killing Torsh. A spanking? That a promise?" she whispered in Nero's ear.
"You're fun alright. For now, I'll watch for now.....you're not my goal little girl" he said to Natalia, a little smirk on his face
Nero turned around, and began to whistle as he went back to his tree,"I'll see both of you around, and about what we talked about Natalia" he looked back,"I'll think about it, but only if you're not a naughty girl"
Ferc just got back from an archery range. He saw Natalia whispering in Nero's ear. "Excuse me; But, what do you think you're doing, Natalia?" Ferc asked, bluntly.
"Oops, busted!" exclaimed Nero with a smile on his face
"Hey, can you see you just destroyed the mood? We were confessing our love for each other"
Then with a quick movement, he grabbed Natalia on his arms and kissed her quickly
"I love you too Natalia!" he said
She suprised herself and kissed Nero back.Natalia blushed." Hi ,Ferc. You should watch out for Nero .....he's something else." Natalia laughed ."He may give you and Torsh a run for your money."
((Note this is an NPC))
A soothsayer walked up to Nero. "I see trouble in your future, young man. The gold of your troubles doesn't glitter, yet. But, you will soon see it glitter. Then, you will be fearful until the end." Said he, in a cryptic way. The soothsayer then left.
Natalia went over to Nero ." Seriously do you actually...." she started to say.
Ferc stared for a second blankly. Then, Ferc slapped Natalia. "Ahem. What do you think you're doing?" Ferc asked.
(A soothsayer? Come on :xp: )
"Another crazy old man, I've heard that before.....Oh yes, a fortune cookie!"
he laughed,"I decide my future, thank you very much, nothing is written, but if trouble comes,then its going to be entertaining"
He grabbed Natalia's hand, "I say farewell again, beautiful" he then kissed it,and ignore her question, then to Ferc, he gave him a punch in the face "I'm watching you boy, you do something to her and you answer to me"
He also said goodbye to Audrey, then headed of into the woods, to sleep on his tree
Natalia blushed. ' Torn between two men who would have thunk it' she thought to herself. She gazed at the hand Nero kissed." Ferc , I think you would have a very good reason to be jealous. Of course he could be lying but...'' her voice trailed off.
"I answer to one person. Me." he said, after Nero left. He looked at a torch with his equipment. Oh, how tempting it is. Yet, it calls to me. Not yet. Patience. He thought to himself. "Good reason? Hah." He said to Natalia. He left the area, carrying the torch while debating whether to go back to Nero or to go to the inn.
(Dude, where in the camp, not in the bar)
That was fun, Nero thought to himself, that guy must be wanting to kill me so bad right now, he smiled to himself, "objective accomplish" he said out loud, but began to wander about his feelings about the two women he met today, it had never affected him so much before...
" Don't kill him. She wrestles him for the torch . She pushes him against the wall and kisses him and grabs the torch." If I had to chose it would be you." she tells him as she caresses his face." but the evil inside you scares me. Nero's fun but you it runs deeper. Were the same you and I . I'm a flirt. I'm sorry . " she cries in his arms waiting for his response.....
"I forgive you. My anger comes from those betrayed me months ago; Even though I dealt with them, their memory is still etched in my mind." Ferc said. He went down the familar path to the inn.
"I told you not to show yourself Merky, what is it?" said Nero to the shadows in the bushes
"That man was going to attack you, I was about to jump out and slit his throat, to protect you" said the shadow "I will do it now if you order it"
"He will not kill me, she would stop him, and if she would not, she will scream at him to stop, she's too soft to kill him, thats her problem; I, on the other hand will not waste a minute to stop him, even if it meant killing him"
"Your cold as always" said Merky
"Thats the way I turn when on a mission, but I can be fun too, so now go, and do not appear again until called; the others could find out about our goal"
"As you command boss" said the shadow, and it banished into the bushes
"He's too strict" said Nero, and he continue walking
Natalia hugged Ferc, but secrectly thought of Nero. Could she be in love with Nero too, she wondered.
Nero arrived at his "hotel", the tree he had chosen to sleep, and started climbing, when he reached his branch, he relaxed and started wondering in his mind about the current events and how he will have to modify his plan due to the appearance of Natalia and Ferc, and about his feelings for the girl
"I wish I could get attached, but she may turn into an enemy, so...." it was never easy for him to work like this, so he forgot about it and just stared at the night sky...
Natalia went to Nero's tree. She climbed up and left a note and a gift.
The note said :
Here are my dueling sabers. I do not plan on turning evil again. I will side with you. However if my father ever finds me please my dear Nero kill me , so I never have to go back and suffer what.....I'm falling for you. I didn't see it coming. I care for Ferc as well but you stir up passions I never knew.
Love,
Natalia.
She quitely placed them near him.
Nero woke up four hours later 'cause he had to take a piss :lol:
He started to woke up and suddenly he saw two sabers, surprised, he nearly fell from the tree, he was a little angry that somebody had gotten close to him without him waking up
"HEY MERKY, WTH ARE YOU NOT MY GUARD, GET OUT HERE!" he yelled, and in an instant,he appeared next to him,"did you not stop whoever came next to me?" he said
"But you said never to appear unless called boss" said the henchman
"Yeah well....yes, you have a point there, so who was it?"
"That assassin girl, she left something for you it seems" and handed him a letter, which Nero read in awe, and the two sabers that were her weapons...
"Fair enough, take this and give it to her, along with one of her sabers" said Nero, giving something to his subordinate
"May I ask what is it?" asked Merky
"A protecting necklace, a charm of sorts" replied Nero "A healer gave it to me, its suppose to guard its wearer against harm"
"A gift then" said Merky
Nero turned a little red, "no, its a..........well, whatever, just give it to her, got it? and tell her you're just a hired messenger, nothing else, and if her friend shows up and wants to fight, just flee and comeback, remember to say nothing about our goal, okay?"
"Yes, sir" said the warrior, as he disappeared into the night
Audrey witnessed the whole scenes between Ferc, Natalia, and Nero. She sighed to herself, and sat by the lake, meditating. She really hated it when men fought over women, and it was just cruel. But her real goal was to focus on Torsh, and they're mission to the palace.
Somehow... they had to get to the Throne, before Darkness fully reigned upon their world. She hoped in her heart that things will change better for the future.
As the moon lit and the stars twinkled in the night sky, Audrey closed her eyes, focusing on nature. Her hair flowed gently along the wind, along with her white hair bow on the top of her hair.
Natalia , wearing the protective necklace , goes to Neroin his dream. She gives him a passionate kiss. " I got your gift. I worry what Ferc will do to you. I sense great evil in him. It scares me."
(You should wait a little for posts, and elaborate a little :) )
Nero could not sleep after he read that letter, What is that woman thinking? he asked himself, and climbed down from his tree, and started to walk,and decided to check on his MAJESTY, and found him inside his tent, sleeping like a baby,drooling a little, but there was no sign of Audrey.
"Is nobody sleeping today?" he said, to which Torsh grunted in his sleep, and he decided to go to the lake, where he found Audrey
"You can't sleep too?" he asked her
Audrey opened her eyes, and turned around. She looked up and saw Nero. "No. I just... wanted to meditate." She continued to sit down on the grass, and looked back at the lake. The water was rushing calmly, and it soothed Audrey's spirit.
"You okay though?" Audrey asked Nero, without turning around.
"I've never been better..." he was about to tell a joke, but then he started to become serious
"You know what's coming now, right? Can you feel it?; we have to keep an eye on Mr. royalty, something is coming for him" he said, looking at the sky and breathing deeply, completely relaxed "seems I will have fun after all"
Audrey looked down. Nero was funny... but she kind of grew afraid of him. She stood up and faced him. "Nero? I'm glad you're here to help us... but, I really don't want you to get hurt if you keep making others angry. It kinda makes me feel... scared."
The young woman brushed her hair from her face, as she looked down, with sadness in her eyes. As quiet and soft-spoken as she was, she was growing afraid at everything around her.
