Oh also! the scar goes down her side, and the new cut went across her chest xD
Sorry if I made that confusing D: I think I put where the scar was when I very first mentioned it though.

Bio
Hello all who have deigned to grace my profile with their presence! I am the great Arrayah, lord of the Phoenix. Or something. I don't know.
Anyways, bio. As of writing this, I am a 23 year old female. I am married. I own two dogs (a Dalmatian and a Labrador... so cliche). I work from home. I like crafty stuff and games. I used to be an MMORPG girl, but have since moved on to things like Minecraft and Ark as well as Rimworld and Dwarf Fortress. Who knows what's next?
I love writing, but only get to roleplaying a few times every couple years. Unfortunately, life gets in the way. I'm starting to have more time lately, and thought it'd be fine to start it up again. We'll see how it goes, but hopefully I stick around this time.
I was on the old RPGuild, so you may recognize my name. If so, hello again! If not, maybe we'll have lots of fun together. If I've been online recently, and you're interested in doing an RP, feel free to PM me. I'm almost always interested in 1x1s as long as I don't have too many going on. Check some of my old threads to see my rules, or pm me if that's too much hassle.
Long live the Phoenix Queen. Or something or other.

He'll see it again I'm sure xD
Hahaha another reason why I'm skipping. I'm afraid they'll get too close before they even get to Berinike xD
Luckily for us Kiara has a bad habit of treating people she likes terribly.

Exactly! A lot more things can happen there then in the middle of nowhere with only two character. I am enjoying Ostus's and Kiara's character development though. :p
Though she's having a rough time right now and probably seems a bit weaker than her personality usually is. That'll change when they reach the city.

Kiara sat there holding her blood soaked shirt for what seemed like hours as she just went over everything that had been happening in an attempt to take her mind off of her shoulder. She started first with Berinike. Of course she was going to go through with it, especially now that she'd been injured just getting there. It made it seem all the more urgent that this get over with so that Callum was no longer the threat they'd been all these years. She did have reservations, though. Did the man she was going to marry know they had once sent an assassin for her? Did he plan to do so again once Callum was defeated? Was she willing to die just for a few years of peace?
Her thoughts once again made their way to Ostus. She knew they didn't exactly get along and that he was very often angry with her for some reason or another, but she was grateful. Even if he had taken this job only for the money, he had kept her safe and took care of her when he could not. He'd treated her like a normal human being which is something she had always wanted. He'd tried to understand her even when he did not want to. All of these things were... amazing. But it would be over soon. When they reached Berinike, he would leave her there and go back home. She supposed it was for the best. Without the war, he could live happily. Get married for real if that was what he wanted without fear of leaving his wife a widow. It wasn't that she was only doing this for him. She hadn't even met him when she'd made her decision to go through with the marriage. But... she figured what better way to thank him than to end the fighting that had taken so many of his friends from him.
She was going to get to Berinike whether he came or not. There was no way she would delay for something she could not even feel. Kiara was worried because if she could not lift her arm, she could not shoot, but that was fine. It just meant she'd need to use her dagger instead of her bow, and would have to start relying a little more on Ostus to keep her safe. Once they reached the city she could see a doctor if she needed to. Kiara was determined to keep this assassination attempt secret, just like the first. People always lost confidence when they realized their leaders could be hurt.
Finally, her mind turned to this most recent attack. How had Callum found them? But more importantly, why had they dressed in Berinike clothes? Was it to start the war again? If Kiara had killed them thinking they were from Berinike, she would certainly not be going through with this still. However, she probably would not have even attacked them if she hadn't been sure they were of Callum. The plan had merit, and it would have worked if she had not recognized their coloring. Either she would be dead, or she would be headed back home with murder on her mind. Either way, the truce would have ended and the fighting would have begun again.
Yes, she needed to get to Berinike. And soon.

Yeah. I'm the same way, but I try to get things going so things don't just drag out forever, you know? Plus, I want to get to the city so you can bring in your second character and super dwarf my posts xD
So I'm thinking of doing a skip again soon, to the day before they arrive in the city. What do you think? Too far?
I'll probably do it after your next post so I can give an update on her injuries and how she's dealing with Ostus.

Ahem. Someone best post before I start getting out the can of whoop ass.
Yeah I'm actually already in bed so no worries! I'm not sure if it'll be permanent yet, but definitely will take awhile to heal if its not. I figure it'll make for good story once she gets to the city :p
Also no way! Your posts haven't been lame at all. I always look at them and feel like I know more about your character which is just awesome.

It wasn't hard to see that he was panicking too, she could hear it in the way he said her name. When he placed the shirt to her shoulder, tears indeed filled her eyes again, but not out of pain. "I can't..." Despite the numbness, she tried to move her arm as he'd asked her to. First, her fingers, which worked perfectly, then up to her elbow, also fine. Her breathing quickened, though, when she tried to move the entire thing. It was strange, to know that something should hurt more than anything you've ever felt, and yet it does not.
It was her panic that was causing the tears, and then the pain in her ribs from the panicked breathing. She'd been through this before and knew they were bruised, but that was the least of her worries. What was foremost on Kiara's mind was whether she would ever be able to shoot an arrow again. What would she do if she could not? What if her arm never healed the way it was?
What if the marriage fell through because of this? Her panicked eyes once again met his as she managed to get out, "We can't stop. Ostus. We need to get to Berinike. You can't tell anyone about this. Please." She reached her good arm to him, barely even remembering where it had been in the first place. "Please. This could ruin everything. I don't need a doctor. We just need to get there soon. Fix me up. Wrap it. I don't know. Just make it so I won't die, and let's go."
She was exhausted, more so than she'd ever been, and yet she needed to do this. If this fell through, more people than just these two would die. That was what Kiara needed to focus on. Her people, her soldiers. Ostus. If she didn't go through with this, he would be sent back to war. Her head fell onto his shoulder again as she spoke quietly. "We need to get there. I need to get there. As my thank you... To everyone... to you..."
