Newt spawned into the Black King's throne room to find a scene of carnage. [b][i][color=lightblue]Of course, we logged out in the middle of the battle.[/color][/i][/b] She thought to herself. [b][i][color=lightblue]Everyone's probably already cleared out or hasn't logged in yet. I'm sure they're not eager to stay without plans or numbers with Moon Rider on the loose. The siege is already breaking, but I have been ordered to help with cleanup.[/color][/i][/b] She couldn't help but sigh to herself. [b][i][color=Lightblue]The Black King and Emma Roche, what a great team to be taking care of this. I'm sure I'll be useful.[/color][/i][/b] She mused, completely sarcastically, to herself. The Black King will be cutting down outlaw after outlaw, but Emma was resigned to the fact that she would have trouble dealing with one. The Ebony Strykers were undoubtedly incredibly weak, with a great disparity between the King and her guild members. One level nine and a couple of low-level newbies, and the other guild member, Flan, was nowhere to be seen.

[b][i][color=Lightblue]I could always just wait for the meeting, Moon Rider might not notice...[/color][/i][/b] Emma's sword materialized in her hand. [b][i][color=Lightblue]Buuuut I guess I should try to make myself useful,[/color][/i][/b] she sulked to herself as she left the throne room, emerging into the dreary lonely streets of the Black Kingdom.

But they certainly weren't quite as lonely as they had been in the past. There were outlaws about, Moon Rider, probably Flan, and who knows how many random people attracted by the opening of the Ebony Strykers. Emma was just happy that it wasn't a warzone like yesterday. She could hear the sounds of fighting in the distance. Likely not Moon Rider, since any one of the outlaws were no match for her. But looking for Moon Rider would probably be a good start- she might have her orders, but it wouldn't hurt to meet with the King.

Goal in mind Emma started down the street, footsteps echoing in the desolate avenue. The skyscrapers craned above her, [b][i][color=Lightblue]Getting rid of those outlaws is a big task. I'm sure that Moon Rider is able to track them because she's a rouge, but I'm at a bit of a disadvantage. There's so much space to hide. So many buildings, with all those floors...[/color][/i][/b]

Ahead was a purple light, dancing in the relative darkness of the city. [b][i][color=Lightblue]If I'm not mistaken... that must be Moon Rider's sword.[/color][/i][/b] Emma approached the dim glimmer for a better look. As she came closer she caught the features of Moon Rider, executing a lone bandit. [b][i][color=lightblue]I guess I should go say hi. No more games.[/color][/i][/b] Emma raised her hand up, waving. [b][color=Lightblue]"Heeeeeey! Moon Rider! How's it going, queenie?![/color][/b] The girl called out from afar, hurrying towards the King.
