LUNADA: THE NINE REALMS! IC!!!!

[CamilleEndora]

Jack had stayed quiet during dinner. He had no idea what to say so he said nothing. Which in its self was odd. Then she asked if he wanted to go with her to New London. "I would love to go with you. I need to get home anyway.". Home sweet home. Maybe this time there won't be more violence. he hoped, praying to whatever deity would listen.

Soon after.

This keeps getting better by the minute. Now we are taking dragons to New London. he looked at the dragon in front of him. It was similar to Camille's but not silver. No this one was red. He tried to deal with his growing fears that this dragon would eat him instead. Still it was better than rocks. So bowing to the dragon to try and appease it. Dragons were said to be haughty and proud creatures. Jack clumisly got on the dragons back. Now all he had to do was wait to go. If they were meeting with the Council, and he was going to see the Council, he wondered what he would do.

Lu followed Camille and the other one out after dinner was done. They left and headed towards the roof, where three dragons waited for them, one for each person. Lu herself didn't really think much about dragons, though her usual experience with them involves stabbing her sword into them to not fall out of the skies. Hopefully that won't be necessary here. Lu walked up over to the dragon and mounted onto it, waiting for Camille to lead. As she sat, Lu did think a little bit about what she was heading into. A meeting with the Council. She certainly heard about them before, but she never thought it would be of any importance to her. Now it seemed like she threw herself into the thick of it. A small smirk escaped her mouth at the thought.

Camille watched as Jack and Lu both got onto their dragons, and she smiled a little. She had already decided on a name for hers; Moon. She ran her hand along Moon's neck and nodded once. There was a saddle like seat for each of them between the dragons wings which had two small handles for them to hold onto if they felt the need. Camille took hers in hand and spoke quietly, "Up and away..."

The words were silenced almost instantly as Moon walked forward and jumped upward off of the tower's rooftop. As he did, his wings uncurled and caught the air, pushing himself upward easily. Camille gasped softly and looked back before looking ahead again towards the mountains. As her dragon soared higher, Camille relaxed into her seat gently. The trip would give her time to think about the meeting she was soon to be involved in. She wondered a moment how all the other royals would react to her. She knew her father wasn't the most loved person on their planet, and hoped what he had done hadn't tainted her reputation.

Jack had never been one for flying, rocks or otherwise. Boats were fine. Just flying scared him. However he did his best to hide this from the two people with him. If they could do it, so could he.

As the dragon, who he had yet to name thinking that it had to have a name of its own, took off from the ground he started to question if going along was the best idea. He wondered if since he was technically going with the vampire delegation, would that mean he would be considered to side with them? He had tried to stay out of politics so he did not know if that would be the case.

Lu continue to ride in silence as the trio headed to New London. She hardly had to control her dragon, as it seemed that it was smart enough to follow the lead on his own. Or her own, Lu never confirmed the gender. As the wind blew onto them, Lucilia spoke in her mind. "You know we cannot trust them. They mean to humiliate you, demean you. I do not want this to happen; you deserve more then to become the lackey of some leech." Lu was quiet, as she didn't need to speak to Lucius to convey her thoughts. Plus it would be awkward to talk to herself with the others here. "Don't care? I do. We are one, you know, and I do not want to see you lower yourself to this. You want glory and honor, not servitude. Think about it like this; to her, you are nothing more then a pitiable knight, who she took in because she saw you at your weakest. There is more to you then that, there is a power that deserves to be feared and respected. That leech does neither. You could have taken her, slain her, this so-called queen." Lu simply sighed and looked at the landscape below. She watched the sun reflect off the clouds; she never noticed that before. It was rather pretty. "...You indifference will bring you much grief, Lu. I only want to help you. If you still want your heart's desire, know that I am here for you." And with that, the voice was silent. She watched the clouds, admiring it's natural beauty.

"WAAAAAGH!"

It was the first sound that hit their ears. The roar of sluggas and the shouts of orcs echoed through the mountains, as Karnage and his army met with the forces of Bacchus Killa Grazkull and Risar Umbranox. Initially, he was only going to attack Bacchus, but they must have made an alliance to attack Karnage. He guessed this much due to their siege weapons; this wasn't a defending army, it was an attack one. He guessed that they thought he had weaken Clan Goff enough that they could strike while it was weak. Despite that they were wrong, Karnage did have his doubts. He wasn't expecting to face Bacchus in the mountains now, let alone with Risar. However, despite his own doubts, the noise his fellow orcs made brought him some hope. Despite being basically ambushed, his troops sounded delighted to get to fight so soon. As he heard one orc tell him: "Dese gits just made da classic blunda: attackin' an Orc who 'adn't found 'em already! Now we'z can stomp dem fasta, haha!" Admittedly, not all orcs were smart, but their stupidity brought a smile to his face. His entire dream, and the way he was going to accomplish it, was overall very imaginative and suicidal. Wouldn't have it any other way. While he didn't want open warfare, his troops were superior by virtue of their equipment; while the Clan Bacchus had their drunk Squiggoths and Risar had their Blade Dervishes, Karnage had Mega Armor and Slugga guns. In range combat, the bullets from the Suggas not only effectively kill the enemy, they also managed to shoot down arrows, in unintentionally. The shear bullet wall made by a single slugga made it into a impromptu shield when fired, even at the sacrifice of range. This saved the front-line orcs from arrow volleys, and when the more sturdy Squiggoths came, that's were the Mega Armor came into play. A single orcs was able to hold down and tear the legs off of a single Squiggoth, much to the shock of both sides of the forces. Unfortunately, Karnage's army was not without casualties, as some orcs decided to experiments. One in particular, after hearing of Karnage's exploits in the Arena, strapped armored explosives on himself and charged into melee combat, despite that Karnage's troops were still in range. He was shot down. His body did, however, serve as an effective landmine, killing a group of orcs that manged to get a shield wall close to Karnage's front lines. As the battle raged, the enemy began to utilize it's siege weapons, specifically, it's catapults; rocks were thrown into Karnage's ranks, with very little they could do to stop it. Those in Mega Armor usually survive a glancing blow, but the Mountain was too narrow for anyone to dodge. But when Karnage's army managed to capture a large catapult, he was once against surprised by his orc's stupidity and creativity; instead of doing something like loading the catapult with rocks or explosives, they took the smallest Mega Armored Orc, and launched him into the enemy army. Had it been anyone else, he either would have died being shot full of arrows, or at least die when they landed. but the Mega Armor protected them from both; arrows could not break through the ten inch thick metal armor, while the physical enhancing frame of the armor allowed the orc to survive the impact. There he was allowed to wreck havoc on the enemy from inside, firing his slugga and chopping the enemy orcs to bits with his claw. Any that got too close was blown away by the built in Blast Armor on the orc, and even his only exposed spot, his head, was just as armored as the rest of the body by virtue of being an orc's head. Not that nit worked perfectly, as some Mega Armor Orcs landed on their heads, and killed themselves. Karnage chuckled. Soon enough Karnage's army was starting to get the upper hand, but both sides knew that there was no retreating; either one side or the other would die to the last, as was the way of the orcs. Karnage wondered if Bacchus or Risar was in their respective armies; it would certainly make things easier for him if they both died here. However, he doubted it, or at least they were also waiting at the back of the army like he was. "SHOW THEM YER CHOPPAS AND YER BOOLETS! STOMPA' FLAT!" Karnage momentarily fell into teh accents of his cousins, but he was sure it wouldn't do any harm.

Camille looked down as the sun slipped behind the mountains and the sky grew dark. She closed her eyes and let herself enjoy the ride. She wondered momentarily what the other two were thinking about, and decided she had more important things to worry about. She figured she would need to change before she went to the meeting. She also figured that because Lu and Jack were not royal, they would not be allowed into the meeting. Her brow furrowed gently, and she reached out to pet Moon's neck softly as they soared.

She was tired from being awake during the day, and wanted to sleep though decided against it. She wondered then what she would wear to the meeting. Something that represented her culture. Something elegant and graceful, she figured. She day dreamed for the rest of the ride, thinking of the time when her mother was still alive, when she had her ballet, when all she had to worry about was getting her next dance role perfect...

--Many Hours Later--

Lucky for Camille, Moon's wings offered a decent amount of shade from the coming sunlight. It seemed to always be sunny in New London, and today proved no different. She watched as the city neared below her, and Moon began to circle the town square. People below bustling about came to a stop to watch the dragons approaching, and moved out of the way. It was not like they hadn't seen a dragon before, but the dragons didn't come to New London very often. Eventually, Moon landed and curled his wings downward so Camille could get off his back. He bowed his head again once she was down, and she patted his nose, smiling. Clouds began to cover the sun, and she was glad for that as well.

She peered around, and the humans around the square looked at her a moment. Some of them recognized her as a dancer, and smiled, waving. She curtsied, her torn dress still stained with blood. She turned, waiting for the other two to land and get off the dragons. The meeting wouldn't be until dusk, and so they had the entire day to do whatever. Camille had some things to do at her home before the meeting, she knew.

It was a beautiful day in New London. The sun was shining, which considering his company was not all good. Still it was good to be home. New London had always been a safe place for him. No swords raining down from the skies or the like there. The rooftops were easy to get across and the people were for the most part normal. Sure the other races lived there but they kept to themselves mostly. At the very least away from him. He did not hate other races, but their powers disturbed him. Humans could not do what the other races could and they were fine. He hoped they were.

As the dragon finally landed, Jack let out the breath he had been holding in. He had made it home. He slide of the dragon with remarkable easy. He still suspected that the dragon wanted to eat him. As a human he was allowed his worries. Figuring out where he was he turned to the other two and bowed saying
"I must be off. I think my associate is going to kill me for being gone for so long. If either of you need a place to rest or just want a drink, go to my tavern. It's The Hunter's Lodge. Just go to the theater where we 'fought' the dragon and go south two blocks. Can't miss it. Oh and drinks are on the house,I'm feeling charitable. Also where are we meeting for the meeting. That is of course if they don't kick me out. "

Camille turned to look at Jack gently, "Well, since we all obviously know the town square, and the theatre. Those are two good spots. Though I may stop by your tavern once I am done with my errands." she spoke quickly, and one of the people who had recognized her, came up and handed her a black umbrella to shield her from the sun that shone through sections of clouds. She took it gratefully and without saying another word, turned and headed in the opposite direction of them. She didn't have time to waste.

She knew Moon would be in the same spot when she returned, and so she figured it was safe to head to her home and gather her things.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~A Few Hours Later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Camille had made a few trips from her home and ballet studio, to the dragon. She brought mostly just her clothes, her ballet outfits, and her weapons, which she placed atop of Moon's broad body, between his wings. She had also gotten changed into a long flowing dress. It was red and black. It fit to her form perfectly, and was elegant. She figured the colors suited her race fairly well. She patted Moon's nose gently, then turned, seeing people watching her. It was dark by now, and she was required to be at the kingdom for the council meeting. She fixed her long white hair, combing through with her fingers, and walked off towards the castle grounds.

People eyed her curiously, unsure of who she was, and why she was required to be at the meeting. She stepped through the castle gates, and was greeted by someone to take her to the room where dinner would be. She was nervous, and wasn't sure what to expect, or who to see.

Eventually they reached the room, and a long dining table was set up perfectly in the middle, chairs on either side, and one on either end. There were a few people sitting, waiting.

Hannah stepped out of the hospital, her ribs had healed so they wouldn't break again unless she used her Vectors or got punched in them, she was assured that they would survive any training she did but then her training was very harsh to her body. She stretched and looked up at the sky, it was getting slightly late and she needed to head back to her room anyway because she needed to change out of her clothes and get some fresh ones. She was somewhat of a girl when it came to what she wore, or though that was practically the only thing. Her sword was hanging by her side but she barely felt its weight anymore, it was sleeker and swifter than most Lycan weapons-Hannah had made it herself to her own specifications after a few training sessions with Lycan weapons proved fruitless- and she liked its company. She was unsure if the sword spoke due to her insanity or because it was enchanted to do so, it never spoke when other people where around and so she thought it was her insanity but the words where so real and it sometimes said things she would never think of.
"So, where to now Anadin?" She asked, the sword had named itself but if she was providing the swords voice then she named it, it was very confusing.
"Back to your room, you stink" It said, laughing softly.

[Lucius Cypher]

Upon arrive in the familiar city, Lu simply dismounted from her dragon, and sat at the meeting place. She stayed there for the whole time, and didn't move an inch until Camille walked by, dressed out in some fancy clothing. Lu said nothing as she stood tall and followed her, as though she was her knight. They eventually arrived at the castle, where they went to various rooms, and at last, ended up where the dining hall would be. It was packed with various people from all over the world, but Lu was hardly phased. She remembered these sort of parties back before. But they were a distance memory now, as she hardly could see herself as the same woman in the past.
