@_@ Wha?! So many posts in such a short amount of time..... I'll try to have something up soon. Would it be possible for Gwen and the kidnapper to escape the Academy grounds and into the the surrounding city?
And posted! The RP is going by so much quicker now.
Her legs still ached, but she kept on walking. At this point she hoped the building would be more populated, but she still couldn’t find anyone. Was the medic still lying in the medical ward? Someone by now should have noticed surely.

Gwen approached the main entrance and saw a group of groundskeeper. At least that’s what she believed from the dirt on their heavy work gloves. Her sudden appearance made them pause in their conversation.

“There are injured people by the waterway. Please hurry, one is bleeding.” Gwen spoke quickly and gestured to the general direction where the group was lying. The group seemed stunned for a moment before taking action. One man directed a few to the medic ward to alert the medics while another went to fetch the head master. Gwen couldn’t get in a word about their attacker and that he was with Henry and Henrietta.

After a few moments of people running about, the blonde was left with the man who took charge of the situation.

“Are you alright milady?” He asked looking her over for injuries. Her clothes were wet and had a few dirt stains, but there was no blood.

“I’m alright. But-” Gwen began but was interrupted by the appearance of the headmaster. He was a large man and usually wore a serious expression. Gwen had only met him a few times with her father and he still had that grim face on, like he never smiled.

“What happened? I heard that a medic was found dead.”

“Yes. Henry Charlton, my friend was injured during training. Another friend Henrietta was visiting him in the hospital ward. I was coming to visit and found the medic dead, Henry knocked unconscious and Henrietta was missing. I pursued the kidnapper and luckily we caught and subdued him. He’s with Henry and Henrietta now.” Gwen explained. Both men stood in stunned silence, before the headmaster dismissed the other man.

“We’ll get this sorted. Are you alright?” His words were sharp, but the girl could see his concern.

“Yes, I just need to rest.”

The headmaster nodded. “Go to the medical ward. It should be cleaned up by now. Your friends should be joining you shortly.”

Gwen wanted to refuse. She really was alright, tired, but not injured. But Henry and Henrietta would be going to the ward. At least she could meet them there. It took her a moment, but she nodded. The headmaster bid her to go before leaving himself in the direction of the waterway.

Slowly Gwen walked back to where it all started. At least there was more people running about. The healers were in an uproar and were running about. The room where one of their own was killed was blocked off.

Gwen felt a sudden jerk from behind. An arm wrapped around her waist while a hand covered her mouth. Her first reaction was to bite down, but thick gloves protected the hand. She struggled and tried to call out. Whoever had a hold of her only tightened their hold.

“Stop struggling.” A man’s voice whispered into her ear. And for just a moment Gwen did from surprise. The voice sounded strangely very familiar. She felt herself be jerked again and her head hitting the stone walls.
Oh my, things are progressing a lot faster than before... I'll try to have a post up on Wednesday. I'll try to post more often.
Beowulf?! Is his second in command named Wiglaf? *laughs at her own lame joke* But anyways, I'll post after Tuesday. Things are very hectic right now.
Gwen held Henrietta close, trying to shield the unconscious girl from any injury. But nothing happened. Instead from the corner of her eyes, she saw a javelin arc across the sky and land between them and the man. Both of their attentions turned towards the source. It was Henry riding Granthar. Brave, foolish, and horribly injured Henry, saving them again. In that moment Gwen blinked tears and quickly wiped them away on her sleeve. Relief rushed through her, even though she was angry at the foolish warrior for coming to their rescue.

Henry got off the tiger and fell. It only made the tears come faster. Stupid stupid stupid. He was being incredibly stupid right now. He stood up shakily and made his way to them. And Gwen saw it again, blood. He was bleeding again. A gush of blood slipped past his fingers as he tried to cover the wound. The girl looked away and let the tears flow.

"Please tell me you're both okay?"

Her blonde hair swayed slightly as he bobbed in a weak nod. Silence passed between them for a moment. She wiped her tears away before flashing a glare up at Henry. Her mouth opened to reprimand the already injured boy, but no words came. In that instant her eyes turned towards the tunnel they came out of. She could feel the snap of bone. It was too faint for human ears to hear, but the snap reverberated throughout her body. Then she heard the scream of the man.

From the tunnel, Fenrir emerged. The kidnapper’s leg was in his mouth as the wolf dragged the body towards them. Blood trickled down Fenrir’s fangs and black fur. The kidnapper was… still alive. Gwen knew that even though there was so much blood on the man. Fenrir stopped a few yards away and deposited the kidnapper on the ground and sat down besides the body.

"Good afternoon, students of the Academy. This is an important announcement: tonight's banquet has been brought forwards and will instead take place two hours from now. Please ensure that you prepare adequately and attend on time. That is all."

The bodiless voice startled all of them. But when the message ended, Gwen stood up and gently settled Henrietta down. She was a noblewoman of Elianst. There wasn’t time to dawdle in shock.

“Fenrir, Granthar,” She addressed both familiars. Fenrir waited for instructions while Granthar seemed more amused at being ordered around again. “Both of you stay here.” Henry was about to speak but she stopped him. “You’re in no shape to be moving. You stay here, I’ll go for help. Fenrir, keep a look out for anything suspicious. He may have more accomplices near by. We need him alive to get any information we can, so try to subdue him and not tear his throat out.” And with that Gwen left in search of teacher.
Wernher said
Uh, I feel like a third wheel here.


Don't be! The site imploded right when we were getting into the plot. As you could see from my OOC post of the summary of events, its been a lot of introductory stuff until now :V
And posted! The first half was the last post in the RP before things imploded. I thought for the sake to getting things moving, I would continue where we left off. Just so things are clear, Henrietta, the kidnapper, and Gwen are on the other side of the grounds away from the training fields. I imagine that there would be a large lake close by that flows into the castle for their water supply, so they're between the lake and the caste now.
Granthar ran towards the medical ward, spurred into action by some silent signal. The only thought through Gwen’s mind was that something bad had happened to Henry. And if something happened to Henry then Henrietta might be trouble. Fenrir followed the tiger, although he made sure not to outrun Gwen by too far. One thing that struck Gwen the most was the utter lack of people around so close to the school. Of course class was in session, but there had to be some groups that were on break…

Her attention focused back on the familiars as they turned the corridors. I smell Henriette and a man and… a strong scent of Langer root. Fenrir sniffed the air and relayed back his findings. Damn. This wasn’t good. Langer root when use in small doses help people sleep, but when concentrated it can knock a grown man in a few seconds.

“Granthar, stay with Henry! Fenrir lead the way!” She commanded the familiars, even though Granthar was not her’s to command. But she didn’t wait. She only had time to glance at Henry who still layed there crumpled on the floor and a medic laying in a pool of blood with her throat slit. She had no time to check on him, but if Granthar was still here than Henry was still alive.

She followed Fenrir through twists and turns, making their way to unknown parts of the school. She only had time to grab a fire poker from a stand as she passed by. It would have to do.

He’s close. She slowed her pace and Fenrir did likewise. Through their bond she spoke ‘The only way we can get the upper hand is with surprise. Go around and block his escape.’ She could feel Fenrir’s reluctance even though he made no comment against her wishes.

The room the kidnapper entered was large. From the wetness in the air, maybe it connected to the water source supplying the building. A long staircase against the side of the wall was the only way to go down to the floor below. The man had Henrietta slung over a shoulder.

“Stop!” Gwen shouted. The man did not flinch or was in any visible way startled, instead he turned around and threw a knife at her. Luckily with the distance between them it gave Gwen ample time dodge. However she lost her balance on the damp stone and stumble down the stairs only regaining her balance when she was on the ground. The poker she held dropped to the floor not far, but it might as well have been in her room.

The kidnapper rather than pay attention as Gwen made a fool of herself, made his way to the other side where a large door was slightly ajar. He ran carrying Henrietta. The blonde’s face burned with embarrassment as she shouted for the kidnapper to stop, at least no one saw that. She left the poker where it was and ran after the two. For a man carrying a girl around, he sure moved fast.

They passed through a narrow corridor and it connected to the stream that flowed into the castle. There was a ledge against the wall just wide enough for a single person to walk through. And Gwen saw light at the end. The barred gate that should’ve kept the opening impassable to people and animals wasn’t there and it was probably the way the kidnapper came in.

She could feel her legs and lungs burning. She might’ve been trained in fencing, but she was still very much a lady of the court. By no means was she unfit, but the constant sprint from the training fields through the castle was pushing her to the limit. But the lady could only try to ignore the pain. Her pace was slowing down and that mongrel was getting further and further away with Henrietta!

Tears stung her eyes. She wasn’t going to make it. She really wasn’t going to make it. She had let down her queen and Henry. And those thoughts were silenced. It was the same silence when Fenrir came to her. Without thinking, she waved her hand before her and the water from the stream flowing besides them, lept up and froze over the ledge. The silence in her mind still remained as she pushed any last bit of energy she had left into her legs.

The man slipped just as he reached the entrance. Henrietta was tossed pass the entrance and onto the grass. Gwen stepped on the fallen man before he could push himself back up and ran over to Henrietta. The first thing Gwen did was to check for injury and found nothing. The girl was still out cold, but Gwen had her now. The joy was short lived when heard an outraged cry. She looked up just in time to see the man charge at her.
Here's Gwen's profile! I don't think I added much from the original. I did summarize most of the in game events too. I've been busy, but I can probably write something up by the weekend.



IN STORY EVENTS before the site imploded From Gwen's POV:
Gwen was sent to the Academy ahead of Daniel. She was escorted to the castle by Henry Charlton to meet the queen before leaving. She was then introduced to their fellow student, Henrietta, a handmaiden of the queen's. The queen left Gwen with a smirk and note on Henrietta's fancy of Henry.

While traveling the group was attacked on the road by brigands before making it safely to a rest stop. Henrietta and Gwen became friends during this time. After arriving at the Academy, a banquet was held to welcome students and to start the school year and the joint venture of peace. Gwen ran into Dahlia, a long time friend while preparing for the banquet. According to Dahlia, who lives near the border of Elianst and Frithsa where trade has begun, there are those who want to see the Academy fail and the war monger's children are attending the school.

The evening proceeded well, after a nice dinner, she met with Lord Arn and found an ally in him. Their chat was interrupted when a Frithsa and Elianst noble began to quarrel, Elaeria and Henry stepped in to break up the fight. This was when Gwen was introduced to Elaeria. Her initial impression of Elaeria was that she was more man like. However the next day during classes, Gwen was struck with Elaeria's lack of manners, though the Elianst tolerates the rudeness.

After summoning their familiars, the students began their weapons training. Elaeria and Arn's spar was interrupted by the duel challenge between Henry and another student. Henry won the duel but suffered serious injuries. Henrietta left class to check up on Henry while Gwen stayed behind. However after a nudge from Granthar to check on Henry, Gwen and Fenrir made their way to the medical ward. Fenrir picked up the scent of Henrietta, a man, and a special root that could be use to put people to sleep. Currently, Gwen and Fenrir are pursuing Henrietta and her would be kidnapper.
