Eastern Promises

"These men are young, rough, oath edged and traditional. They like nothing better than drinking, violence, ladies and gambling. What better place than a tavern, the epitomey of masculinity, to indulge such behaviours and habits"

Kazan walked forward, trying to make sense out of the shouting and haze of pipe smoke which stood like a thick smog in front of him. He knew that he would find most of the Atolian Imperials in here, those men liked to spend their time gambling battle spoils and making silly bets with each other. They knew how to have a good time, but on the battlefield they knew equally as well how to fight

No one had realised that the Prince of Atolia had entered the tavern, surprisingly, and Kazan set about making his presence known. He stood up on the nearest table to him, drew his blade, and shouted "Imperials, your majesty, my father, The King, requests your presence in the throne room immediately! We have no time to waste, for my brother Albain has travelled to the east to retrieve the Doomsday Tome, in an effort to stop the Arcadians. As much as we want to stop them, bringing the Tome into things will endanger the fate of the world. We must stop him from reaching the tome, and in turn meet the the Arcadian advance with an iron fist. My King has given me orders to round up all of us Imperials .Please continue to the throne room to be briefed by his majesty"

 

Will was next to Kazan laughing. As Kazan stepped down Will said. "I'm getting a drink for the trip, would you like one old friend?"

 

OOC: Well everybody is still at there rightful place, the prince has run away to get the tome thing, princess Art is staying with Kate, no one truely knows though, Art is actually pregnant, but nobody really knows.

 

Kazan brandished his blade, and put his hand on Will's shoulder. "As much as I would love to join you good friend, I must politely turn down your offer. But I promise you, after this war is fought and my brother has been salvaged from the east, I shall drink with you into the early hours of the morning!", Kazan said confidentley

"I am pressed with the concern of my brothers well-being aswell as the duties which have been laid upon me by my King. We have no time to waste Will, but when this war is fought, we will waste all the time in the world"

Kazan and Will left the tavern, successful in the rounding up of more mperials. Kazan had a hunch where he would find the remainding Imperials, and set off for the Town Square

 

"Kazan!" Kundiso said almost shouting as he spun him around and punched him in the face, as Kazan fell on the floor he went and punched Will in the face.

"Thats for not meeting me" he said to Kazan

"And that was for distracting him" He said to Will.

 

Will stepped back, taking the punch in stride. He drew the curved dagger he had. "We've been rounding up imperials boy!" He roared, flipping the dagger in his hand. He wanted to know why he wanted to meet with Kazan. The blade was a blur in Will's hand.

 

"Step down Will!", Kazan shouted, as he quickly got to his feet. "Will, this is Kundiso, one of my dearest friends. We go back a long time together"

"Even though this isn't exactly what I'd call a meeting, at least I'm here now Kundiso. What is it that ails you?"

 

Will stepped back, listenng to the only person he ever respected. He flipped the dagger, caught it between his two fingers, and sheathed it. He wondered why this man wanted to meet with Kazan during a time of worry for his friend.

 

"Ah never mind, Ill tell you when we have more privicy, and Kid over there doesnt want to kill me" Kundiso said looking at Will

"Anyway ill be joining you on your mission" He added as if they had been talking for hours

 

Will smirked. "And why should he see you fit to do this. You are no more than a mere child." He mocked, leaning against the wall. He didn't know why but he didn't like this person, he felt uneasy with them.

 

Alex looked to his left,there was a way up the mountain,though it was to climb a series of varied rocks,"Alia,go back to Atolia,and talk to Arya.We need her to come to Arcadia."
"But Alex,we only ever met once,she'll probably not even remember us." Alex looked up and sighed."Tell her that Art wants her to go." Alia pulled on the reigns of the horse,Alex climbed off it."Alia,come here tommorow."Alia smiled,"We might." The horse rode away.

Alex was at the top.>my psp won't let me finish,I'll do it later.

 

"A mere child he may be, but knowledge does not come of age. Kundiso is extremely skilled, though he may not look it. You would be a fool to underestimate his skill Will, and a fool I am certain you are not", Kazan said

"Will, could you give us a minute? I would like to speak to Kundiso in provate. I would much prefer if you two would save your anger and rage for combat"

 

Will nodded and strode off, wondering what to do now. He ended up at the docks, sitting at the edge tossing pebbles. He was thinking of a girl he saw the other day. "What was her name?" He muttered, whipping a stone. Then he remembered. "Arya..." He breathed. The girl was beautiful but she was a high class soldier and he was a lowly imperial that lived off the streets when he wasn't fighting. "She would never speak to me." He mumbled, whipping his last stone into the dark water.

 

"I think i might kill that Will character, He annoyes me" Kundiso said turning to Kazan

"And what the hell you doing ditching me for a dweeb like that, Hes the type of person who thinks he is amazing and is then the first to die on the battle filed" He said folding his arms.

 

Alex was there at the top,he knocked on the door and waited for an answer.

Alia was riding back when she saw Anya running towards Atollia,she threw Anya onto the horse,''I figured you'd want a ride.''

Art answered the door,''Oh,art.Can I talk to you?''

 

"Come now Kundiso! Will is a dear friend of mine, I would readily call on his assistance as I would yours. I'll hear no idle talk of his death. You mightn't like him but I implore you to give him a chance, as I did you", Kazan smirked

"Now, we are alone, what is it you wished my presence for?"
