Snippet #1723633

Nowah put her mask back on and walked over the the steering wheel of the small ship, it had already been prepared to set sail before Edwin and Victoria got on board. It was composed of simply the deck they stood on and a small living quarter's on the level below, where they would sleep and where they kept supplies. They would sail for a few hours and arrive at the Daedalus by nighttime.

Edwin sat down on the deck and listened to Keets and Liam talk about some of their accomplishments as first recon. Not all their stories were related to missions, some were about more, private escapades. Nowah seemed preoccupied with piloting the ship so Edwin turned away and looked to Victoria to distract him from their uncomfortable stories.

"So tell me about yourself, we're gonna be together a while my as well get to know each other."

Rhev was surprised to hear the man's explanation. It was clear he was hiding something, while his attitude seemed quite pleasant there was a shady air surrounding him. Rhev would be keeping an eye on the man that was certain.

"Hey guy's I'll catch you later looks like people are heading down below deck. Gonna pick myself a nice bed before all the good ones are taken."

The castle gates were unguarded just as planned, the riot had now gone completely out of control. The streets filled with angry and fearful screams. The riot police was having a difficult time putting this one down, seeing as how much of their equipment had either been sabotaged or stolen. Dathney strolled through the doors of the castle, their plans had worked better than ever if the castle guard had left their post to assist with controlling the people. Of course though the Solaris Knights would still be watching over the royal family as their private guard. She took this mission mostly due to a private vendetta. Her rifle had been stashed away the other recruits would retrieve it and bring it back to the boat, at least they better, if not, they sure wouldn't be coming back with her. She carried with her a peculiar black blade from her early days as one of the Solaris Knights.

She walked through the castle at a leisurely pace, the servants and other castle worker's avoided her gaze and and darted out of her way. Her appearance was well known by them and it struck fear in their hearts. She made her way up one of the castle towers, she stepped out the door and onto a walkway leading into the royal family's private quarters. Between her and the entrance were three fully armed men, wearing the traditional armor of the Solaris Knights.

"It's the general!" one of the shouted in surprise.

"What do you mean? I've never seen her before?"

"That's brigadier general Dathney! She disappeared about three year's ago everyone thought she was dead."

Dathney chuckled and drew her sword from her sheath. She held it nonchalantly by her side and put her other hand on her hip assuming cocky and arrogant pose.
She gave them a sly and taunting smile while she waited for them to make a move.

"It doesn't matter now, she's an intruder and a threat to the royal family. It is our duty to stop her." They drew their black blades simultaneously. All dathney did was stand there with the same expression on her face. They charged at her ready to kill her if necessary. Before they could even reach her they were already dead, their bodies charred as black as their swords. Dathney stepped over the lifeless bodies and the white hot armor that still adorned their bodies. She sheathed her sword slowly, her left hand slowly shedding the murderous flames. Her path clear she continued forward towards her goal. The princess would be hers, and no one could stop her.
