Aaron~ Empire of Haltia, Capital city Arcada, palace, bedrooms~

Aaron felt her fingers brush lightly against his hand. He could feel her love and support flow through it easily into him. He would talk; he just didn’t want her to worry more about him…about the things that he thought of. It was enough to make him worry… if it made him worry, it would defiantly make her worry.

He felt her hand pull away and he quickly placed his right hand against her shoulder and kissed it. He then let his hand run down her arm and rest at her elbow, half on it, and half on the bed. His body moved against hers, molded to it perfectly.

He then said softly into her ear, “No matter what happens… I will always love you.”

Leon~ Empire of Haltia, Capital city Arcada, outside palace, Lyesa's house~

After Leon watched Lilyan walk out of the room with out telling him to leave he raised an eyebrow. “Your welcome…” He was sure she didn’t hear him but he said it anyways.

He looked down to Lyesa again and wondered if she was dreaming about stealing… the way she said “My gold..” It was kinda obvious.

He was also confused on how easily trusting her half sister was, letting him stay in the room while she left. He didn’t think upon it much as he walked out of the room, then house, closing the door behind him.

Lachdonon~ Kingdom of Melchoir, the Sea of Ghosts, The Damarung~


Lachdonon listened closely as she started to explain what happened. He was surprised that she indicated Foirn…what are the chances of the two meeting up like this. She continued with the story and Lachdonon felt sorry that she had to go through that.

He placed a comforting hand on her shoulder and said softly, “Well then, who ever said you were not good enough for anyone must surely be a moron.” He moved to her left and leaned against the railing as well. With out looking at her he said, “I know this may sound kinda mean…but maybe it was a good thing. If that didn’t happen, you would be married to a man who was always on the road. Living in fear that he may never come back to you in the night. You would have never been sent by the council here…. and I would have never met you…” He said the last part very softly, but loud enough for only her to hear.

”Also… it sounds like his family wrote the letter… so maybe Foirn had no say in it…”

Aerandir/Foirn~ Kingdom of Melchoir, the Sea of Ghosts, The Damarung~

Aerandir did not look at Reliynia as he sighed. He knew that she would ask again, might as well tell her.

Aerandir watched the water slip by as he began to speak. “As I told you in Adia…fifty years ago, I was cursed… My kingdom was destroyed; my wife and daughter were killed right before my eyes. Before that, I was a Dragonare, I was actually on my way back home after a hunt, to find it under attack by Acharon and an army of orcs. Since that day, I have spent all my energy searching for the dragon, killing any that got in my way. The only people who knew I was alive was the Dragonare’s leader Alstan, and My apprentice Foirn. I lived on the road every night since then. Until Alstan revealed to the Council that I was alive, and that they needed me in this war, for I was the only one who knew how to really deal with other kings. As well as my experience in war. That is all that is needed to know about me…”

Foirn shook his head and declined. “Sorry, it has nothing to do with your food, I don’t eat in the morning…never have.” He took another sip of his wine…He was almost out, but he could get more at the port.

”I did not sleep well…I had a lot on my mind as well.” He said softly. Foirn let out a tired sigh and rubbed the side of his head. “It looks like we will land soon… I wonder when we were going to be sent out again…I was kinda sad that I missed the party… I always loved to watch Aerandir fight…no matter what kind of situation he gets himself into, he always has a plan.

Leah - Empire of Haltia, capital city Arcada, palace, bedrooms

No matter of the fact that Aaron did not want his wife to worry about him or anything else that was going on in the empire, she was going to worry whether he liked it or not. It was, it seemed, a woman's job, an Empress' job, or a wife's job to worry about the happenings of her husband and such. And it was true that if something was bound to make him worry, then it would guarantee the fact that it would make her worry as well.

His hand fell upon her shoulder and slipped down after he had kissed her shoulder. Moments later he had laid against her body and practically melted into her when his whispered words fell into her ear. Her eyes slowly closed, nodding some. His words caused a great weight to be lifted off of her shoulders, and a very welcoming peace to settle over her. It was then that she reached back and took his hand, bringing it around front just to rest her cheek against the palm of his hand. Her form turned on the bed and instead of resting with her back against him, she moved closer and rested facing him and him facing her. One arm slipped around to his lower back and held him to her, head resting under his chin long enough to kiss his neck lightly. "And no matter what happens, I will always love you as well, Aaron."

She felt him move beside her again as she looked to him. She did not bother to hide her face at this point in time, wanting to somewhat remain hidden for the moment. She could not help the slight quirk of a smile on her lip as she heard him call them a moron. She sighs softly and rubbed her neck ever so slightly at the moment before she finally spoke. “ Perhaps it is a good thing, but in the same sense... I am not sure I know many who would stay at home... I mean...” She was not entirely sure of what she meant at this point in time. She turned enough to be able to face him, her hip resting on the railing, blushing as she heard the last part of his first statements. “You are right, we would have never met... but would you still remember me if I passed in the next battle?” It was more of a figurative question... for she was becoming attached to him. She was trying very hard to remind herself to keep a distance but she failed every time.
“I do not much care if his family wrote such a letter, for he made no move to remedy the situation. I could not be with someone who finds another unworthy because of a lose that was outside of their control.” Her eyes were actually studying his face for the moment before finally looking out to the water. She did not realize she spoke this, and when it came to her attention... she was too embarrassed to look at him. “I am beginning to like you more than I probably should...”

Selena, Kingdom of Melchoir, the Sea of Ghosts, The Damarung

The girl stood up did she smile at them both," Are you sure that you and Aerandir aren't related ?" she teased Forin over his comment of not wanting to eat," he doesn't eat in the mornings either." she chuckled lightly. Selena patted Pike's shoulder when she spoke," Well you just keep the flask with you to celebrate the next win."

She took up her plate to take it back into the kitchen, and washed them up so the regular cook didn't have extra dishes. Selena took up the teapot, and cups encase the others wanted some also then returned to the table. She sat down at the table as she poured her some tea then placed the pot and extra cups in the center of the table. Taking a sip of the tea lightly did she speak softly," Feel free to have some if you guys would like."

Looking out the window did she see the ship was getting close to the port, her hand held the cup while she watched the upcoming port. Selena spoke lightly," Well shouldn't be much longer before we dock, and most likely not long before we have more missions." she turned her eyes upon the pair sitting with her.

Reliynia/Pike- Kingdom of Melchoir, the Sea of Ghosts, The Damarung-

She stood there and listened to him. Not knowing what to say if anything should be said. "No nothing should be said." she thought to herself. Reaching up she patted his back for about a moment then stopped removing her hand from his back. She wasn't sure if this kind of contact was ok or not so she mummbled "Sorry." really soft under her breath. Stepping sideways away from him she looked out to the sea. She remained quiet just looking outward, however there remained a soft smile on her lips, her eyes full of joy. Her red hair drifting out behind her a bit.

Smiling up at her, he tucked the flask into a pouch with a sigh nodding his head as she told him to keep the flask. "Aye there will be a next win." he then spoke up and poured himself some tea. "Want some?" he asked Forin. Sitting back after Forin replied he to looked out the window hearing Selena's words he just nodded.

Lyesa Aninalia/Lilyan Deylisa- Empire of Haltia, Capital city Arcada, outside palace, Lyesa's house/tavern-

Opening her eyes slowly to the sun shining in through the window she stretched her arms and legs while still in bed then rolled over and off the bed with her feet on the floor. Covering her mouth as she yawned she walked over into the bathroom, stripping down and took a shower. Afterwards she dried off and got dressed. Wearing a white tanktop with black baggyish pants, and her black boots she walked out the door re-equipping her longsword. Walking out her home she went to the market and bought a few things. Bread, some fruits, and some meat; ham; she walked until she found the tavern/inn that looked like the kind of place that her sister would normally stay in. Lilyan had a tendency to stay in places that were far from where most where most wouldn't normally stay in. And she was right as she saw her sister sitting at a table eating what seemed to resemble dirt. Making a face she walked over and took a seat opposite of Lilyan. "Why do you insist on eating that nasty looking food?" she asked in disgust as she started eating an orange.

Lilyan kept eating her food. She wasn't sure of what it was but it tasted ok. When he sister sat down she didn't bother looking up or saying anything; that is until Lyesa asked why she was eating nasty looking food. Shrugging her shoulders she replied "Well it tastes ok." Then went back to eating.

Lyesa noticed that Lilyan hadn't changed clothes. "I'll take you clothes shopping after we eat." she told Lilyan. Lilyan only smiled back. It didn't take them long to eat barely talking much to one another. Afterwards Lyesa took her clothes shopping just as she said she would. Lilyan bought two outfits and then took a bath at Lyesa's house. Afterwards they went walking Lilyan in her new clothes; a pair of leather pants and a white tanktop kind of shirt. "So why exactly are you here?" she asked Lilyan. "I wish to join this kingdom and fight in the up coming war." Lilyan replied. Lyesa or Lilyan missed a beat while walking. "Well then I'll see if Emporer Aaron will talk to you then. Maybe you'll be able to join after all." Lyesa replied.

Malifore rested on the end of the docks, staring out at the horizon still. He hadn't been there long before his mind began to wander, to troll through his distraught memories. Before he knew what was happening he was being taken back to the day it had happened. They ran in, the orcs, and cut with their axes and swords. The first to go was Aliria. Then Raylen. His children were cut down before he was out of his seat. His anger drove him through two orcs in a single, fluid movement with his long sword. All of a sudden he heard the screams of his wife, Aerasia, the orcs were taking her. He stabbed into a third, his tears flowing unendingly. The final orc in his house was struck down with a final slash as the younger Malifore ran out the door. He spotted the two orcs that were dragging them away, the third behind them laughing. Aerasia had stopped screaming, she was unconscious. He ran forward, his anger and confusion at the entire affair driving him to kill his killers. Out of the forest came them, though, the rest of the tribe. The three Orcs dragging away his only love were escaping behind the cover of about six more. One ran forward, wielding an axe, and slashed from high. Malifore's sword was brought up, defending himself as a second Orc rushed forward. He slashed out with a wicked looking blade. It cut across his back and Malifore dropped his defense with a scream as his unprotected skin was broken into. He quickly slashed up with his blade, wrenching at the axe-wielding berserker. He turned the blade and swung horizontally, lopping off his assailants head. The other four began to circle around him, but he dashed forward. He crushed one's head with the pommel of his long sword, and jumped away from him. He turned to another, slashing sideways into ones torso and hacking into his ribs. The other two stayed back, ready to defend themselves by numbers. Malifore turned and looked upon them with disgust, pulling the blade out of the dead beast. He pulled a dagger from his belt and threw it, pushing all his strength and anger into it, and it struck true. The dagger landed into the Orcs throat, luckily, and the other cowardly orc ran back to his chieftain. Malifore dropped to the floor, however, the wound on his back was now bleeding profusely. He rolled over and passed out, his vision returning to the view of the sea and the boats rocking over it. "Twas a memory, Calm yourself." He said in an attempt to calm himself.

Join us at Genesis. No...Theres no one else.. D:

Aaron~ Empire of Haltia, Capital city Arcada, palace, bedrooms~
Aaron smiled as Leah turned around and wrapped her arm around him and kissed his neck.

He said nothing more after she said that she would always love him as well. There was nothing more to be said…and would have probably ruined the moment. He slowly fell asleep, his hand moving back and forth slowly on Leah’s back as he did so.

Aaron did not dream as he slept. For it felt that as soon as he fell asleep the door was knocked upon. Aaron grumbled and got out of bed slowly. He then went to the door and hid his hand behind his back as he opened it.

Capitan Vernnal was standing there with his head bowed. “I have a few soldiers that would do good in that small force you were thinking about. Two of them are Mercenaries, one is Coran, who had just arrived last night. Another is Malifore, who is currently in Lindrad on a prior job. The third is that storm elf that met with you yesterday, the forth is your personal guard Lieutenant Leon Alimdar. We are still looking for more…Unless you have any suggestions?”

Aaron shook his head and said, “No that is fine…Send the three that are here to the throne room, I’ll be there shortly.” Aaron closed the door as Capitan Vernnal bowed.

Leon~ Empire of Haltia, Capital city Arcada, outside palace, Lyesa's house~
Leon had gone back to the barracks and decided to take a bath.

When he was finished, and back in his room pulling on a clean crimson tunic he heard a knock on the door. He opened it and found a messenger handing a sealed letter to him.

“New orders sir!” The young messenger said. Leon gave him a salute and closed the door when the messenger turns away. He noticed the seal of Capitan Vernnal and opened it quickly.

It was a short letter, which didn’t tell him much.

”Due to the recent announcement of the war between the Empire of Haltia and the four kingdom’s otherwise known as the Alliance. You have been called from your position as Lieutenant of the Emperor’s guard and ordered to report immediately to the throne room for further orders from the Emperor himself.

Capitan Vernnal”


Leon raised his eyebrow and threw the letter onto his desk and quickly took off his ”casual” tunic and pulled on his dress tunic, along with his highly polished armor.

He strapped his sword to his side and walked out of his barracks and made his way to the Palace. As he walked he noticed the two sisters again, but didn’t say anything he would not want to get the Emperor angry with him.

Lachdonon~ Kingdom of Melchoir, the Sea of Ghosts, The Damarung~


When she asked him the figurative question he shook his head. “No… because I wont let you pass in any of our battles.” He smiled softly at her. He meant it, he would rather kill himself then let her be harmed.

He listened to her reason for her thought on his words about Foirn’s family writing the letter. He was about to say that she had a point. That is…when he heard her last words.

He suddenly looked to her. And tried to calm himself and keep his thoughts collected. “I am sorry to say Sarah… I have already passed that point long ago.”

Aerandir/Foirn~ Kingdom of Melchoir, the Sea of Ghosts, The Damarung~


Aerandir Tensed as she patted his back, he was not used to such touch. He heard her say sorry but said nothing to it. That was the last thing he wanted from people. Pity… it only made him feel worse, it was clear that he was not strong enough, and others were trying to comfort him.

He turned away and said, “Better get ready, we’ll be landing shortly.” With that, Aerandir walked inside to ready Draco.

Foirn raised an eyebrow at Selena’s remark and smiled very softly. “I am quite sure miss Selena. I would know If I was related to Cairn and Serenity Amandil… As for eating in the morning…just a thing I picked up from Aerandir I guess…”

When Pike offered the tea to him he shook his head again. “No thank you. I have drank enough this morning…no offense to you Selena, but Elves find human tea… slightly bland.”

It took them a half an hour to reach port. Aerandir and Foirn led the group off the ship. Foirn who was the only one with out a horse walked. They found their way to the barracks that they were assigned to and the two Dragonare’s picked rooms next to each other for they had much to catch up on.

((By the way, if you haven’t noticed my change from Dragon Slayer to Dragonare, sorry for the change its just the word I decided to give the clan. Used to be Dragonsbane but that would have been a legal issue so I decided Dragonare which means Dragon/Ruin))

Reliynia/Pike- Kingdom of Melchoir, the Sea of Ghosts, The Damarung-

Reliynia had hoped he didn't take her sorry wrongly. She went and got her horse up on deck when it was time. Her horse already equipped as she hadn't bothered to take anything off. Making sure she was the last one off the boat the swords strapped to her back yet again and her clothes changed to traveling clothes. Wearing a long sleeved black shirt and baggyish black leather pants. Her red hair was put up into several small braids hanging losely down her back. Walking over to the barracks she picked a room that wasn't near anyone. Then climbed up onto the roof of the building right above her room.

Pike nodded his head and then when it was time got his horse ready and walked off the boat not far behind Selena. Picking a room that was close to her yet not right next to her room. He settled in then walked back out and took a good look around after changing his clothes.

Lyesa Aninalia- Empire of Haltia, Capital city Arcada, outside palace, Lyesa's house/inside palace-

After talking with her sister she fell into an dead silence. Her thoughts were nothing as she wasn't thinking anything. Looking around she noticed they were now right outside the palace. "Would he even be up yet?" she thought to herself then noticed Leon and how he was dressed. "That must mean Aaron is up." she thought again. "Come on Lilyan I think it's time you meet our Eporer." she said now walking towards the castle.

Lilyan Deylisa- Empire of Haltia, Capital city Arcada, outside palace, Lyesa's house/inside palace-

Lilyan looked around the place taking in everything. The sun felt so good on her skin. She had become lost in the sun and her thoughts; what little thoughts did pass through her mind; until she heard Lyesa speak and then saw her start walking towards the castle. Following her she stepped up beside her as they entered the castel. It looked so beautiful to her, but her expression gave nothing away. It didn't take them long when they reached the chambers outside the throne room. Watching silently as Lyesa talked to a guard about seeing the Emporer. Taking a seat away from but on the same bench as Leon. She didn't bother talking to him for she had nothing to say.

Lyesa Aninalia- Empire of Haltia, Capital city Arcada, outside palace, inside palace-

After talking to the guard he told her that he'd speak to the Emporer about it and told her to take a seat on the bench. Lyesa obliged the guard and took a seat close to Lilyan. Ignoring Leon and not even looking at him she waited patiently for the guard to give her request to the Emporer.

Selena, Kingdom of Melchoir, the Sea of Ghosts, The Damarung

Selena looked at Forin when he made the comment on the weak tea, then chuckled lightly," That is not a human tea. It's an elven mixture taught to me by an old friend." was her reply before picking everything up once they were all done. She finished up the dishes before returning to the main deck to collect her things when she heard the call that port was close.

She prepared her horse while calming him with a gentle voice as he hadn't liked the ride on the ship. Selena carefully lead him after the others as they left the ship to head towards the barracks they were going to stay at. Settling her steed into a stall first to make sure he was calm, and well taken care of before finding her way to one of the rooms in the barracks. She shook her head some when seeing Pike had taken the room next to her own.

Grinning at him lightly before entering her room," At least one thing to be thankful for on this trip is having a new friend. Thanks for that Pike." she said lightly before entering her room. Selena didn't close the door for she didn't plan to stay there right now, but did place her things away. She would leave to go explore the port city while the others did as they wished till a new mission was set for them.

Leah - Empire of Haltia, capital city Arcada, palaced, bedroom

His hand stroked her back as he began to fall asleep, and Leah only laid there with her arm around him and listening to his breath being slowly inhaled and then exhaled. Her head shifted and rested against against his chest, the sound of his beating heart filling up her ears. It was that sound that soothed any worry that was still in her mind, and put her at ease. She was asleep just as fast as Aaron was.

Instead of having horrific and vivid nightmares like she had had earlier that night, Leah actually had something of a neutral dream, but confusing. She was walking through the garden, and a small child was beside her. He appeared to be at least four years old. Light brown hair fell over his forehead like a silky blanket, and he held the color of eyes as Aaron's. It was their son. She had aged a few years as well, but she did not look any different, except she looked tired and stressed. When her eyes looked up in front of them, there was the man who had been in her last dream. He looked like Aaron, yet their hair was different.

A knock upon the door shook her from her sleep, Aaron slipping from the bed only helping that. A soft sigh came from her as she felt the warmth his body had been giving her leaving as he moved over to the door. Her eyes drifted open, finding Captain Vernnal standing on the other side of the door. A few moments of a conversation, and Aaron closed the door back up as Leah moved into a sitting position. "The joys of being an Emperor, hm?" She said with a soft smile.
