The Army of Death

Not open for further replies.
"Move it people!" Xaviera snapped at a knight, who was treading slowly. Frightened, the knight quickened his pace a soonly, he dissapeared out of her sight. Letting out a slow sigh, Xaviera turned to the people who signed up for this trek. There were quite a few, not meager and not too much either.

She sighed again, tossing back her ebony waves. As she reminescenced about Loretta's words, an earl approached her cautiously. "Lady, excuse me... we should get going soon." Xaviera blinked in surprise as she glanced at the earl. He was a vampire as well, and one of the many who proposed for her hand in marriage.

"Get going people!" she shouted at her army, as she climbed abroad her dark stallion. Her army moved urgently, at a swift speed towards the forest.

But with every step, every stamp of her horse's hoof, Xaviera had a feeling of worry that was building up. She had bought some cattle for them to feed on, but if they run out, or if they taste human blood, they'll lose themselves for sure...
 
The loud hoof of the army of horse?s echoed through the night, causing disturbance amongst natures many night walkers. Bats flew over head, squealing their disapproval of the sudden interruption and flew off towards the other end of the forest. Kali stared after them, following their path in till they disappeared into another tree further on down the path. She guided her horse over the many mounds of moss, careful not to cause the creature to trip in the process. The night was something she could see past, but the large creature beneath her was unable to.

The army of Vampires followed her trail in to the forest of Nolen and remained close to one another, for once, disapproving of their leader?s decision to trust the daughter of the late king. They were waiting for an army of the Kings men to emerge from the darkness of the forest and trap there, all due to their leader?s stupidity, but everything seemed to be going as planed so far, but nothing was certain in this day and age. Vampires were hated and that?s all that mattered.

Kali listened out for any sounds that she did not approve of, any predators, humans even. She at this very moment did not trust her own judgment of Loretta, but they had come this far, it would be a shame to turn back now without knowing of what Loretta had planned, be it against them or not. Nothing seemed to disturb the peace except for their own disturbance of the great forest.

Another thought hit the rouge leader, where were they suppose to meat? The forest was vast and there were many places in which the group of scattered soldiers could meat and she had been stupid enough not to ask Loretta of where exactly the meeting would take place. She came to a halt and in unison so did her equals who were following closely behind. She turned the midnight black horse around and stared at her companions ?We will wait here? She announced ?Loretta did not tell us exactly where to meat, so we will wait for her guidance here. She seems to know where to find us?

There was an all round rummage as the Vampires demounted their horses, what few had steeds and set their weapons and supplies down against the Oak trees. They waited patiently for any sign up civilisation.

(OOC- You will all make it to the forest of Nolen and await the Princess Loretta; you may meat in the same places as each other, but if you wish to remain alone, then await Loretta to give you notification on where to meat. The place in which we will all meat in the end, is where my group lay, secluded by high trees where the sun light cannot reach fully)
 
Ic: Now leaving the city of Nolen to Askar a little town that is hidden away from danger. So Jerome and his troops didn't have anything to do so they just stayed for a little rest and some restock on supplies, then headed off to the forest of Nolen.

Ooc: I'm sorry I thought Nolen was a city, not the forest. Is it alright if there is a city named after the forest?

Ic: After 5 hours of hustling, we finally made it to the forest. This was a very dangerous forest, so Jerome told his men to keep on guard but do not attack no matter what. "If anyone is here for the attack on my cousin king Harry then do not attack us we our here to help." yelled Jerome hopping someone will hear him and not attack.
 
Almira knew she was not far from Nolen. She knew also that it must seem odd to be walking on her own through a dense forest. It was also a stupid idea. But she was not worried. She turned awauy from her path and headed for a town not too far away. "No matter what I will need to be much more careful once I enter Nolen Forest. I trust the princess but that is no reason to assume safety."

Once inside the town Almira had a horse sattled for her. She had owned the horse for quite a while and it was a favorite of hers. But she left it in this town just in case an elfen soldier was wounded and needed quick transportation. The horse was a young mare by the name of Audra. She was a noble horse with a white body and a black blaze down her face. The bottom of her legs where also black.

Almira mounted Audra and headed off again. Soon Nolen forest came into view and she slowed her pace. The forest was dark but her sharp eyes were plenty a match for that. "Be on the alert Audra." She whispered. The mare tossed her head and nickered softly. Where were they supposed to meet? The forest was huge and Lorreta could be anywhere. But she had wished to meet her so they would find eachother.

Suddenly Audra stopped and tossed her head snorting. "What is it?" Almira's eyes scanned the darkness again. Yes she could see a group of people standing there. "So I was right. But what is it that bothers Audra so much?" The horse was prancing nervously and tossing her beautiful head. Almira had sense enough not to call out to people who upset her horse so much so she stayed back from the group and watched. But she knew that they must have heard Audra's hooves.

The treading of numerous horses hoofs were starting to get on Lady Xaviera?s nerves. She glanced around cautiously. The forest was getting deeper and darker, and the time? probably getting lighter and brighter. She rolled her eyes at her own rhyming comparison. Just a few more feet, and they?ll be in the heart of the forest. No need to worry about the traitorous sun there.

But as they neared the heart, she saw something? (or was it someone?) standing in the darkest spot of them all. As she neared, she spotted two groups of people, one fair, one dark. Averting her attention to the darker crew, she caught a glismp of their eyes. They were vampires.

But not like hers. They were untamed, wild, teeming with un-leashed energy. Xaviera glanced back and signaled for her army to stop. Then, she leapt off her horse, her dark cloak trailing the forest floor. She leaned against a tree trunk and stared with narrowed eyes.
 
Kali turned her head in the direction of a sudden sound. ?A human?? She thought gleefully, here eyes glistening with hunger, her bloodlust getting the better of her. She bared her fangs and her grin widened to a tearing point. She heard her army lick their lips and prepare for an attack and suddenly her thoughts were darted back to reality and she gasped as her army made to feed off of the Human who had just shortly arrived.

She growled and turned to face her army with mad eyes ?Remember what we agreed on? She hissed under her breath as not to let the human hear. There were groans of disappointment from the army and one of them even growled at his leader, but was quick to drop his head in shame as he noticed what he had done. Bloodlust, was a great thing to overcome when in the presence of a Human, Kali understood, it could even drive Vampires into rage.

She turned to the human and gave a charming smile, bowing low with a sweeping motion?as if mocking her?but it was Kali?s way of welcome, no matter how mocking it may seem. She straightened after a while and grinned mischievously ?What brings a fair maiden such of you to such a dark part of the woods?? She asked a tone of amusement etched her voice ?Did you by chance receive a call from the fair Princess Loretta?? She asked with a raised eyebrow ?Only, I thought Loretta seeked strong warriors, not fair maidens?

There was another noise that her sensitive ears picked up and she turned in the direction of undead blood. She snarled at the sight of another Vampire whose eyes showed, not the hunger and bloodlust she was use to seeing from her equals, but calm, tamed even. The snarl slowly turned into a smirk and she took another sweeping bow of welcome ?It is good to see another of my kind? she lied before straightening and turning her red gaze onto the human ?It seems you may have some trouble in these woods fair maiden? She stated evilly, flashing her a toothy grin.

(OOC- Lu fei- That?s fine, no worries ^_- Just make your way to the forest as soon as)
 
Almira looked at the vampire with dislike. But she controled her emotions and simply scowled at what the vampire said. "The fact that I am a maiden means nothing. And yes I was summoned here by Princess Loretta. You may doubt my abilities but I am stronger than I look."

Almira placed a soothing hand on Audra's neck because the horse was still jumpy. The mare did not like these dark creatures and was edgy. Almira dismounted the horse and faced the vampire. "I must say I'm surprised that the Princess would approach a band of vampires. She is more couragrous than I thought but I'm not surprised she would not fear the creatures of the night." Her tone was nutural because she disliked vampires. However she did not fear them. Her people had killed several vampires with specialy made arrows. Each elf carried one with them when they ventured out of the city. She had one now though she had no intentions of using it. If Princess Loretta trusted them enough to ask for their help then she would tollerate them. But trust was something she would never give to a Night Walker.

Almira was considering. She wondered if Loretta had only asked for the help of vampires and elves. That didn't seem a smart thing to do. Humans and other creatures would help. But then again she had not been in the forest long. If others were coming they would arrive soon.
 
Jerome noticed two women argueing about something in the forest. As he got closer he saw that one had pointed ears, so she must be an elf, and the other has a bit of a pale looking skin with sharp fangs, she must be a Vampire. Jerome knew these two were asked by his cousin to help defeat his other cousin King Harry and the army of death that he controls. Jerome got closer and saw one massive army of elves. He got curious for the Vampier's army, but then looked up and saw another massive army, but filled with vampires. "Excuse me my ladies, but I am King Jerome, the one that can keep his castle safe with only but a small number of troops, against thousands, maybe you heard of me? But then again maybe you didn't. I am the cousin of Lady Loretta, are you also here for the fight against King Harry?" Jerome said hoping they would agree on inviting him top thier little chat without killing him and his small number of thieves and half elves. Jerome did not know whether he should trust an elf or a vampire or anything else. He was brought up to not trust anything, even humans. Yet he has an army of humans and now a small amount of half elves but still he has not known the meaning of trust yet. Jerome has heard and is foolish enough to believe rumore that Vampires are rutheless creatures who only fight to kill. The other rumors are about elves that they are low lives and steal from other kingdoms, whether it is an ally or foe. (Hopefully those rumors are JUST rumors.) thought Jerome. "Gulp...this is gonna be a long war." muttered Jerome to himself.
