A Month Earlier

After weeks of trying to find “The Black Order”, he had finally managed to track down a member of that said order and asked him the whereabouts of this rather elusive organization. Though reluctantly, the robed man gave him the location of his headquarters. Managing to utter ‘thanks’, he finally set out on his journey towards “The Black Order”.
Following few days of travelling, Llynn had eventually managed to see the grandeur structure from afar, the building being coated mostly in black, he had wondered where they got their name from. Approaching the said structure, he was stopped at the gate by the guards.
“What business do you have here?” The guard said, lifting a lantern in order to try and discern the hooded man’s face.
“I wish to join ‘The Black Order’, I was directed here by one of your associates.” I replied, pulling my hood down and connecting my eyes with theirs.
“W-Well, it’s really late, but we can have you wait in one of the rooms until tomorrow, are you fine with that?” The guard responded with a tad bit of dread in his eyes, after Llynn nods, the guard glances at his fellow guard, the other guard nodded and the gates were brought to open.
The loud clang of the gate made Llynn jump, he didn’t think it would’ve been that loud, he thought about all the displeased neighbours who, more than likely, woke up from that clang. Being ushered in by the guards, he made his way into the establishment, his own footsteps echoing throughout the building. The hanging chandeliers barely managing to light up the entire room. The moon shining in through the windows made walking through the structure feel bizarre and surreal.
Left by the guards after halfway through, he was given the directions by one of the rather, timid guards. Walking through, appreciating the grand beauty of it all. All of a sudden there was a man in front of him, blocking his entrance to the main lobby, he had not noticed his presence until now. Had he not remembered that he was not on a mission anymore, he would’ve struck him down then and there. Releasing his grip on his dagger, the face was then illuminated by the moonlight, immediately, he remembered who this mysterious figure was. Immense amounts of hatred and disgust welled up inside Llynn.
“Brother~” the figure said.
Clenching his fist, he had almost punched this disgusting figure. This figure who was his brother. The one person he depended on, whom abandoned him and left him to rot in “The Grey Hand.” Thinking it wasn’t worth it, with a clenched fist, he turned around and trudged to his designated room as fast as he could.

“Hah~ Does the Black Order wish for us to die?” Llynn thought to himself with a slight frown.
He was assigned to a ragtag team to ‘scout’ the recently taken Fort, Fort Gansforth. To ‘hold’ their advance. His whole team was an odd bunch, not knowing their skills since this is one of his first few missions with them, he thoroughly believed that the Order wished him dead.
Following the leader, Silus’ advance to a place where he thought there was a camp, looking around, it seems like most of the members were unnerved by this, with the exception of the Count, Silus and his brother. He also noticed that the members were all glancing at each other. He always sent back a glare, save for when Yura would glance at him-- he would look away, slightly red.
Caleb, jumping up a tree, with his natural smirk, Llynn could only sigh and think of his own kin as a frivolous monkey, bloodlust oozing out of this said monkey. The tension of the group had started to rise when Silus whispered,
“We should be able to take them so be ready to attack.”
This brought Llynn out of his thoughts and, like the others, started to grip his sabre and dagger ever stronger. The tension of the group suddenly dropped when the hulking man, Gerhard, bumped into the count. Llynn exhaling, thought to himself.
“We’re gonna die.”
