Bio


I am a rather middling RPer who likes to believe they are actually at an advanced level. This is of course, nonsense created by my desire to be known as good at something. In otherwords, I'm kinda okay at things and stuff.

The young woman couldn't muster much in response, Siris' words merely rained down upon her, joining tears, joining the blood of the fallen, joining the cracked earth below. Ia didn't budge much, her eyes fixed on Gao-Lubaan and Akmaan. They were dead, she knew it. Men she'd looked up to, me that raised her, men that died for her. The hotheaded merc wasn't wrong. . . She found her eyes wandering over to her kinsman Lyun as he lifted the Hellions' lost comrade. And then to the bandits, and to the Imperial soldiers. . . All lives lost, for nothing, for something she didn't even understand.

Ashür scanned over the battlefield, certain now that it had come to an end. Following the rest of his contemporaries, he joins in pressing the young Kassite, "These irreverent, corrupt mercs have a name. . ."

IA: ". . ."

ASHÜR: "Hellions of Gyr. On account of where most of our finest men are little more than dust and bones now."

IA: "Just leave me. I don't need your condescending charity about life and death." She rubs her face, finally turning to Ashür.

ASHÜR: "You're right about one thing." The merc replied, hand resting upon his sheathed blade. "You're not getting charity." He eyed the piles of the defeated gritting his teeth between all the silver and blue. "Mixing bronze with our excellency's direct subordinates - that won't come cheap."

IA: "I. . . Can't pay you." As if to drive home the point, she pats down her practical garb. "We only took with us a small sum to pay toll and travel to Der."

ASHÜR: "Hnn. . ." The merc sighed, a hand at the back of his neck. "Der. Kashtilashu you mentioned too. You're too late I'm afraid."

IA: "What? What do you know sellsword?"

ASHÜR: "Your army is dead and gone little lady. You're on your way to a ghost town."

IA: "Damn it! No!!" Ia's firey eyes faltered in a true defeat. She clutched that hatchet and bit anxiously at her lip. "Even Kashtilashu? It shouldn't have been this way. . . I could have. . . He didn't deserve this, he was misguided. . ."

IDDIN-NINSHUBAR: "Deserve? The only ones who can speak of such things are we. We deserve payment, as you cannot comply - We will hand the woman over to Uruk, salvage any reputation marred, and collect bounty." Ever pragmatic, the priest drew in towards Ia, along with the rest of the Hellions. "Glass preserves, now don't make a struggle girl."

IA: "What?! You think I'll go to my death willingly?!" The spirit of flame burned hot and shed the trepidation that were consuming her. "Come then you bastard dogs!"

LYUN: ". . ." A heavy hand came to rest upon Ia's shoulder, Balathu hoisted over his own. His presence was two fold; to quell her well understood fury, and as a general denial to the sub-captain's suggestion.

IDDIN-NINSHUBAR: "You will go against me again, Lyun?" Iddin palmed his pointed chin, tapping his rod twice unto the cracked earth. "Seems your people have no respect for oaths."

Lyun raised his head some, gazing eastward, completely unphased by Iddin's words, "Return home Anqullumašḫu. There is nothing for you here."

IA: "Failed. . . Before even a chance. Akkad will strike at us for this. . ." The woman spoke to herself before turning to her great kinsman. "You will come with me, yes?"

IDDIN-NINSHUBAR: "Hellions. Secure this woman and don't hesitate to-"

ASHÜR: "Iddin-Ninshubar. . ." The merc spoke quietly beside Zuzu's chosen so that only he could hear. "The big guy said, 'Anqullumašḫu', did you hear? They may just be 'heretics', but she's a VIP when it comes to the Kassites. Maybe we should. . ."

As the pair spoke clandestine, and the mercenaries at large gathered around, Makeen finishes collecting what trinkets of the deceased he sees fit before chiming in, practically deciding the endeavor, "We're going as far as Awan, come along if you like."


And so it was.


CHAPTER III - END
She can't even speak. Her trembling lips sealed. Nearly had she shared sentiments with Siris before the bodies of her beloved caretakers stood erect, and evermore lifeless. As the priest turned away she found her knuckles wrapped white against the hatchet Lyun left for her. In her state, no amount of reason would ablate her feelings, and certainly not the spectacle before her, whether she understood the differences between her people and the men of Akkad was irrelevant.

The young Kassite stood and in a single motion hurled the axe Iddin's way, "You damn. . . Lowlives!"

Yet this enrobed figure was settled well in Zuzu's graces. It seemed a thick shard of quartz had broken free from the upheaval of the earth, flying just so directly into the path of the spinning axe blade. Deflecting it ever so slightly, just enough for it do little more than tear at Iddin's silk.

"Enough of you Akkadians, enough of your irreverence, and enough of your šar-kiššati!" Those eyes of hers flared up, if Lyun had doubted that the flame of his people had reincarnated into this young woman, he certainly wouldn't now. "Kashtilashu was right. . . There's no living with you corrupt people!" Tears flowed free upon her face, her expression was solidified into anguish, fervor.
Ashür's sunken gaze is inscrutable, the man only offers the barest few seconds of it lingering upon the still corpse of their comrade as Lyun hefts the equally stout mercenary into his arms, replacing the young woman. The dour man instead turns his sight upon the bodies choking the grassy fields between farmsteads. He turns a few over with his boot, brigands and the like, but so too men bearing the insignia of Ur. The gears turn in his head. . . Who is this woman? That is the principle thought on his mind.

Ashür turns to her, or where she should have been left by their Kassite brother in arms. Phased by her sudden vanishing, he whips his head about, only to fall on her traipsing across the blood soaked land. He pursues. But only so far until she drops to her knees.


IA: "Akmaan. . . Gao-Lubaan. . . How could I have let this happen?"

The firey haired Kassite rolls her most ardent guards onto their backs, frantically holding pressure against the flow of their wounds a *knowing* in the back of her throat. "Please. . . Please!" She cried to little avail, casting the embers of her eyes to the Hellions, "One of you filthy sellswords are a shaman aren't you?! Save them. . ! Please. . ."
Sheev falls silently, unable to even utter a final curse.



MAKEEN heals ASHUR for 10 VIT (16/19), gaining 20xp and 1 Theurgy!

ASHÜR: "Hnn. . ." The lancing wound at his shoulder is quickly mended up by the thief, the theurgic fetish they'd 'appropriated' from the Yeeks working the will of their Petrified God to make solid the flesh and blood. Ashür winces at the weight of it, but that doesn't halt his advance. The merc quickly files in beside Siris. "Not a single shot more." He calls hoarsely, whipping his fingers into the air and weaving the sign of flame.

ASHÜR moves to K-28 and casts FLAME at KURGAZU, dealing 10 damage! Killing him! He gains 87xp and 2 Mysticism!
KURGAZU: "Damn it! DAMN IT!" The bandit leader fumbles with the mechanism of his weapon at the approach of Siris, yet he's no slouch, before another strike could be made his bolt is aimed and true, direct for the young swordsman's skull. Only a certain dryness saps at the man, before he can realize the parchness of his lips, the fletching on his ammunition catches fire, a moment later and his entire head erupts into a blazing flame. Kurgazu's pitiful screams are the last thing to grace this impromptu battlefield.

And now. . . The Hellions are left one man lesser and with a new ward to consider. . .

He deals 10 damage! Killing BALATHU!
BALATHU: ". . ." Despite the a myriad of wounds draining his blood down from his armor and unto the sluggish river below, Balathu does not even budge. There is a peace about him that seems almost unobtainable as always there had been. He closes his eyes for the last time.


SHEEV attacks ASHUR with their BRONZE LANCE!
SHEEV: "Hmmph. . . You are the Hellions of Gyr, are you?"
ASHUR: "Good eye. Glad to hear even the Imperial Army knows us lowlives. Come to think of it, you seem to know a whole lot about lowlives, don't you?"

"What I know is that you will give up the woman you have taken into your custody, from there I will be certain the Imperial Army is aware of the Hellions' exploits in stomping out a vile band of villains, and we'll send your share of Aurums for the bounty. . . Understand?
ASHUR takes one momentary, sweeping gaze over toward Lyun, he reads that expressionless expression and snaps back to the knight in response, "'Fraid not, no can do my friend, we Hellions don't renege on deals we've made."
"Hmmph. So be it. Then prepare yourself!"
Dealing 13 damage, LEATHER ARMOR (4/10)! ASHUR counters with his BRONZE CURVED SWORD, dealing 6 damage (22/28)! He gains 10xp and 1 Blades!

Ashür darted alongside Lyun and Iddin both adding his own words onto theirs towards, to he, an unknown Kassite. "Don't expect our vengeance-facilitating to come cheaply, woman. And don't mistake our hearts, if it weren't for my companions, you'd be food for the vultures by now. . ."


IA: "Tch. . ." The Anqullumašḫu stayed her seething tongue, a part of her clearly apprehensive between Ashür and Iddin-Ninshubar's black words. Were they any different than the bandits that put her men in the dirt? Ia grasped tighter upon Lyun's shoulder, finding some comfort in its familiarity, an island amidst a stormy sea.

ASHUR: "Boy. . . Stay your hand, calm your mind." He stood beside Etor as he spoke, blade in hand, lining up with the rest of the Hellions before the final charge. He kept especial attention on the young mercenary, unable to take his eyes or thoughts off the image of him losing control to particular the alignment of his soul.


ASHUR moves to N-27

"You spit 'pon the gifts that the commander has showered your band in. We will take it from here. Show not your face to us again. Or die."

Kurgazu shrinks into himself as the riders arrive. He grinds his teeth, feels the draw-weight of his bow. "I. . . Can't flee now. This one chance is all I'll ever get. If I can at least grab the bitch while they're killing each other. . . Maybe then!"
