[center][h1]Liandrich[/h1][/center] [@ArenaSnow] "He what!?" yelled Liandrich at the king, wide eyed and in shock. "The king has allowed you to take command over a division of guards. He has assigned you to naval patrol duty." explained the older guard. But Liandrich still couldn't believe it. A dream and a curse. For the first time he was allowed to command. But near the sea. Near the water. Far from the border skirmishes. "Why?" he asked sceptic, as he grabbed the belt and scabbard of his sword. "His majesty expects it to be a great oppertunity." the old man said. "Bullshit. If it was such a great opportunity, he'd be here himself to tell me. So where is he? In some random castle, like a coward? Is he deep in the bowels of some keep? Huhn? Where is he? Has he even seen me in the last few days!?" Liandrich began to rage, his blood began to burn through his veins. After he released all his anger on the old man, who didn't deserve it, he took a deep breath and tried to calmn down. "Tell him I'll go down to the Royal Navy Docks this afternoon." Liandrich said, calm but also somewhat defeated. [hr] [center][h1]Arios[/h1][/center] [@Silen Syanka] Arios had known about Thalassa refuge. He didn't know where it exactly was. That didn't matter. What mattered that she was a big cog in his plan. And he had to get her to start turning right. He had followed her, and almost found her hidden cave if not for a bunch of fish who came around to annoy him. So he waited, hidden behind a rock. Arios did his own dirty work if needed. And right now it was absolutely needed. All around him he noticed how slowly the fishes began to swim away. And a strange current began to flow. It wasn't the first time Arios saw it happen. "The trench is calling." he whispered to himself. For Arios, the trench was what the sea is to humans. He was in love with the pure darkness. Where he could hide. Where everything could be hidden. But when he saw Thalassa reemerge he had no time to think about the trench. Slowly he crept up to her, making as little noise as he could. "You feel it too? Don't you? You can feel the danger." He whispered right behind her ear. So she would hear his words but not immediately know who said it. Arios was prepared with this relaxed arms behind his back and his easy going smile that hid so much.
