In an age where magic and mystery rule supreme, there was a wealthy king who had but one child. A beautiful daughter. Her name was Grace and she loved all things mythical and magical. The kingdomw of the king was a peaceful place for a long time, till the day that Grace turned 18 and an evil warlock came to the king and proposed a deal. The warlock had come from a dark place across the seas searching for power to take over the lands the king owned and rule as he wished, but to do that he needed a bride that could aid him in his quest. So he told the king that if he gave his daughter, him and his kingdom would be spared from harm.

Having no other choise the king unwillingly gave his daughter to the warlock. having the bride he wanted the warlock cast a spell in which he was able to summon the ancient gaurdians of his home land. Dragons. What he never counted on was the dragons turning on him and kidnapping his bride, and retreating into the mounaits. Word got back to the king and he sent out warriors to kill the Warlock and bringhis daughter back. But the question is. Will she want to go back?

Grace sat on a rock ledge over looking the forest just outside the borders of her father's kingdome. She swung her feet back and forth as she sat there, her hands folded in her lap. From the ground no one could see her thanks to the sun and the height of the cliff, but it did not bother her much. She did miss her home, her fqther, and the body gaurd that had been so loyal to her her whole life. She sighed a bit as she looked down, then looked up into the sky and smiled, a black dot headed toward her. She stood and waved.

He proceeded inside of the room.
"My lord..." he said clearing his throat.
"I have word on the princesses wearabouts but im not sure if they be true..." he said looking at the ground.

She was resting against the wall of the war room with a smirk, her blade resting against the wall beside her. She watched as Ryuu walked into the room and suddenly a grin spread across her face. "Took ye' long 'nough..." Her voice was cold, uncaring, almost as if she was the winter wind itself. "And what be the reason for these sirens? Can't handle it on yer own?"

Riel was one of the few most people didn't like, it was either the way she acted or the fact she didn't do anything for the nobility unless pay was involved. The woman rose to her feet, her robes making a light shuffling sound as she did so. A hand went to rest on the small blade sheathed at her side as she tilted her head to study this man; grin turning back to her smirk.

"Will there be pay?"

Lenot appeared infront of the war room and took a seat.
"So whats the plan.." he said no expression on his face. Much was on his mind but he had no intention of saying any of it. He knew that more than likely this plan would fail since it was led by him but he carried on. He knew that Ryuu was a fool and alot of the time was a bit stubborn as far as Lenot was concerned.
"We need to be very tactical when dealing with a matter of such importance" he said gently but in a way to get him heared by the others/

Grace stood as the dot got bigger and she moved over to one side, then smiled as a large purple dragon landed on the ledge. She walked over and lightly placed her hand on the forhead of the dragon. "Hello dreamer.' She said kindly as she walked with the dragon back into the cave, walking with her hand on its side as they went deeper into the mountiand together.

She grabbed the blade against the wall and followed him, a playful grin spreading across her face, ~Maybe I should apologize.~ Suddenly she stopped walking, the though of regret of what she said crossing her mind? Impossible! Eventually she shrugged it off and continued following him, eventually walking into the room. "Alright Ryuu, I'm sorry. Don't be so upset about it, and face it. You -need- me." A frail finger pointed up at herself, an actual tone of caring; a very light one and probably unnoticeable, crossed through her voice. She walked towards him, the small blade resting at her side and the large one across her shoulders.

"She was a fun girl, but of course... I don't work for nobility unless there's pay, but I guess I could make an exception for your beloved Grace." The last part she said with a joke, turning her back on the man. "Of course, if you don't want my help... I can leave to maybe find her on my own... Surely you don't want that, knowing I might corrupt her mind with those rumors about me. You know, the one's the other guards start about me causing trouble and drinking. Oh! I have a deal! I'll help you, if you tell your friends to stop spreading lies about me." This woman sure did love to talk, given her usual cold edged nature.

She looked back at him, something came to her eyes as she saw his face; regret.

Riel took a seat across from Ryuu, staring down at the map. "What about this path right here?" She rested the tip of a finger on the map, about a mile east of Devils Peak, "Wouldn't that be faster? Or is it a trap... Or filled with some dangerous enemy?" She slowly leaned back in her seat and slowly laid the large blade onto the table, eyes gone back to their cold state, her smirk back on her face. "Also, don't show your tears Ryuu, you're a man. Not some pathetic little girl; grieving can come later if you don't succeed in this little trek of yours. Now, we also need to plan out what we need; provisions, water, housing, extra weaponry if need be."

"Their is one condition... As long as I dont have to save you all along the way.... im fine... me and My blade Almalga will be more than ready... i hope" he said smirking he then said.
"We probably will succed since the plan is decent.. but we need to be powerfulll..." he said looking at Ryuu.
"I dont plan on failing. As a mercenary I dont fail anything I do. Dont get in my way and we can be good freinds afterwords..." he said as he went quiet

OOC: im going on autopiolot. I wil be following yall when we leave. Before we leave I will be in town. So when we set off just assume i am with yall. Peace.

Ryuu smiled. "I'm sorry.." He said blushing just slightly. He looked up then back down. "That path might be a little faster, but that seems to easy in my opinion, when we get there I'll mark down these two, the one would be faster, but I prefer checking before we barge into it, I've been through Devils Peak in the past, and it's pretty safe, a few rocks fall from time to time, but it's still pretty well balanced out.." Ryuu smirked. "Yes, we will need to pack up, tents, sleeping bags, and such material, I will make sure to have them ready. The Leviards should help with that." Ryuu smiled. "We will have them hold our equipment, plus they can help us climb if need be, but we'll make sure to bring climbing equipment in just of case, we may need to the scale the mountains..." Ryuu smirked. He looked over towards to Almalga. "Very well, those conditions are fine, all I ask of all of you is to do your job."

OOC: Leviards are pretty much large Lizards.

"Thoughs damned dragons!" I was pacing around a small shack I found. "Taking my bride, and now the king wants me dead! Shit this is not good!" I heard banging on the door. Someone was at the door. They didn't sound to nice either. Kicking down the door a burly man with an ax came in. "Shit!" I put up a protective barrier infront of the doorway. I bit my thumb and wrote something on the ground. It was in some anciet language. A large gust of fire engulfed the shack and burst from the roof was a Pheonix. I was riding the pheonix somewhere safe. "What was I thinking. Dragons, I should have brought pheonix instead. Isn`t that right Jahsper?" I scratched the Pheonix head.

OOC:Yeah I do talk in first person. I hope thats not a problem. d:

"'Tis alright... just stop actin' like a lil' girl and we can get along jus' fine." She had placed her feet on the table, leaning back in the chair a bit. She was feeling a bit care free today, a bit happy she finally had the chance to make some good coin. "I'll need ta go 'n get my armor... 'ope that don't take to much time... Or patience." Her accent was heavy in her voice, crossing her arms under her chest she watched Ryuu for a moment. "Ye' be blushin' when I pointed out y'er flaws?"

The woman tried to suppress a chuckle but couldn't, falling back in her chair sending it toppling to the ground. Slowly she rolled over while cursing. "Damn that 'urt..." She laid on her back for a moment, staring at the ceiling before holding a hand up in the air. "Care ta 'elp me up?"

Grace walked witht he dragon to the very back of the cave, going down a tunnel and into another large cavern. It was lit with glowing stones and all around were caves and tunnels, all of them harboring a dragon or two. She smiled as she saw them all, glad they were here with her. Most of them were good, only three large black dragons having stayed to work with the warlock.

"No, ye' can't." She brushed off the robe she was wearing and turned on a heel, "I'll return in a momen'... I'm gonna go grab me armor..." She walked out of the room slowly, casting a glance back at Ryuu. ~Crazy bastard. What does he see in 'er anyway? Or am I jus' jumpin' ta conclusions?~ The thought crossed her mind as she walked down the stairs, how wonderful it was to have a room in this castle.

Slowly she opened the door and walked into it, grabbing her armor she pulled it on and shook her head slowly.

She sat her blades that were for show aside and grabbed her real blade, Giridan as she called it, and sheathed it on her back; smirking she turned around and walked right back out. Walking up the stairs she barged back into the war room with a grin on her face, "I'm back! Miss me?" She had hardly been gone for 6 minutes, she had a knack for moving quickly.
