Yakama Indian Territory, Washington State, 1388 Snow was everywhere, falling in thick clouds and blanketing the forest floor in a spectacular show of pure white. Yet, Kaiyiya Hilaku saw nothing but his prey. A massive elk trotting through the underbrush, shaking leaves and branches alike with its massive antlers. It was massive, and would feed Kai's family all week. He moved easily in the branches he was perched in, pulling his bow off his back and nocking an arrow to the bow string. The goose feather fletchings grazed his cheek as he drew the bow back, the muscles in his back and arms moving smoothly with the familiar action. He sighted on instinct, because one didn't simply aim with a bow. Satisfied with himself, he let the arrow fly with a "twang," the missile flying rapidly through the forest environment, unimpeded. It struck the deer halfway down its body, and instantly collapsed. Straight through the heart, and a perfect shot. With a smile of satisfaction, Kaiyiya jumped from the branches and landed gracefully in the snow, not making so much as a whisper of sound. Making his way to his kill, he unsheathed the Bowie knife from his hip. A simple pleasure, and a gift from Lance himself. It made Kai's life a lot easier when it came to skinning kills. Crouching down next to the deer, his faithful companion Luna trotted out of the brush and sat next to him. She was his backup plan in case he missed..he was rarely in need of a backup plan. As soon as his blade met the deer hide, he felt a familiar pulling sensation, like his being was being ripped through reality. Kai sheathed the knife and groaned, turning to Luna. "Lance is gonna owe us a new kill, isn't he Luna?" His companion simply growled in agreement, never one for dimensional travel. Moments later, the two were pulled through time and space to god knows where, leaving 1388 Washington and a perfectly good elk behind. https://imgur.com/a/6vh4K ~~~ British Coastline, 750 A.D. "Get those oars and sails ready boys!" Captain Bjorke Fallöran yelled in his booming voice to his crew, who were rapidly getting his ship Wolfwind ready for launch. He was currently running with a chest of valuables over one shoulder, watching arrows thud into the dirt to either side of him as he hauled towards his ship, which his crew was lowering the ramp to. "I thought you Brits were supposed to be a good shot?!" He called taunting, but not daring to look over his shoulder. It had been a successful raiding of Britain's coastline, where most of them had gotten back to the ship with their loot. Yet, the ever reckless Bjorke chose to stay and grab one more chest, a chest that he'd heard contained something invaluable. Which had led them to the situation he was in now, having arrows fired at him by British archers. Bjorke finally made it up the ramp, stumbling and sprawling across the deck with the chest hitting the wood and sliding, arrows still being fired and thudding into planks around them. The crew had gotten the ramp up in what was record time, sails unfurled and oars working to get them off the coast. A few short minutes later they were out of range, and Bjorke was clapping men on the back for a job well done, while most looked like they'd just rode the worst rollercoaster of their lives. "We made out like bandits today didn't we boys? Well, I suppose we are bandits." Bjorke said with a booming laugh, surveying their prizes. Jewels, wine, tapestries, furs, and many other valuables. Yet, the real prize was what was in the chest he'd almost gotten turned into a pincushion for. He knelt on the deck, undoing the latches when he felt a familiar tugging sensation. "Dammit Lance!" He yelled, turning to his second in command, Jarlak, as he felt his hands fade into time and space. "Whatever is in this box Jarlak, sell it!" He yelled, before being dragged into the fabric of reality. https://imgur.com/a/zwU6r ~~ Cairo, Egypt, 1800 B.C. She'd been waiting in this guy's house for an hour. She was tired, sore, she wanted to slit his throat and be over with it. Talia Dendara was currently perched in the rafters of an Egyptian nobles house, knife out and ready to put the blade in the guy's throat. It was a curved blade, similar to a Khopesh but smaller and dagger sized. The Pharaoh had put her up to this, and as his personal assassin, she couldn't very well refuse. She'd never had problems with being one, but situations like this made her wanna put her knife in the Pharaoh's throat. She was perched In an awkward position among the noble's uneven rafters. A noble who was under suspicion that he was planning to usurp the Pharaoh's throne. It was all rumors, but when the most powerful man in Egypt told you to stab someone, you asked where. She was waiting for him to get back from an evening of drinking, so when he came stumbling in covered in wine there'd be no fight. The issue was she was doubting if he'd ever come home, because she'd been sitting there for an hour and her legs were cramping. A thud interrupted her thoughts and made her readjust her grip on her dagger, signaling the arrival of her target. The man came stumbling into his main room, covered in wine as expected. Dressed in silks that didn't do much to flatter his..overflowing frame, Talia could do nothing but shake her head. There was nothing royal about this guy. That didn't matter though, it wasn't her call to make. As she dropped from the beam, holding on by her hands, she felt her body ripple and being tugged. She growled, Lance really had impeccable timing. She dropped to the floor without making a sound, but her hands she could see were already fading. Attempting anyway, she lunged at the man's neck with a wide slash, only to be interrupted by being transported into another dimension. https://imgur.com/a/Pq2vr ~~ The three warriors from their respective times and places were all thrown from their homes, into the land of the Dojo. Kaiyiya and Luna, on the border of the woods. Bjorke, on the beach. And Talia, the edge of the desert to the South of the Dojo. None of the three knew the others were there, but who would be the first to greet the displaced arrivals? (OPEN AF)
English

  • *Kara laughs as they reach the gates of the Dojo, two clone troopers walking up to her.* "Ms. Venices, ma'am, may I ask who you're second passenger may be?" He asked, looking toward the Egyptian.

  • "Talia Dendara." [i] She didn't tell them any more, considering they were simply lackeys. The only person that knew anything about her, and needed to know anything, was Lance. [/i]

  • "Yes ma'am." The clone says, allowing Kara and Talia through the gates. "So...considering you're Egyptian, do you happen to do that Egyptian dance people usually do?"

  • [b]The steady drum of the all terrain wheels against the sand marked the approaching figure over the horizon, rushing towards Bjorke...[/b] [b]Damien, was out for a normal ride, dressed in a DMX helmet, and a one piece race suit. It had really dumb sponsors like organic cabbage, sandals, and spinach waffles... Typical...[/b] [b]He was on his custom bike, the Thunder Bolt, the neon blue headlight glaring as he drove across the sand. His sleeves were rolled up, revealing fingerless gloves along his normal, only partially scarred hand, and his other arm which had been covered in dense cloth so as to hide his latest work.[/b] [b]With a twist, he accelerated and drove up a rock, the bike twirling in air as he pulled his legs out and hung for a solid four seconds before the bike turned the right way and he landed... And then he swerved, spotting Bjorke farther along the beachhead, driving up to him. He steered with one hand while pulling his black and white helmet off with the other.[/b] [b]He stopped short in front of the captain, looking him up and down with an amused grin plastered to his strange face. His hair was matted with sweat to his forehead, and his eyes shone brightly... And of course he had his usual mechanical jaw held by two clamps that ran down his somewhat exposed neck.[/b] [i]"Did you just get washed up out of an iceberg?"[/i] [b]He asked, his voice calm and lazy, but layered with calculating cynicism and a sarcastic vibe.[/b]

  • [i] Bjorke was still dressed in his leather armor, helmet on and sword and shield on his back. Bjorke looked the newcomer up and down and immediately decided he liked him. Any guy who said he was sponsored by spinach waffles won Bjorkes friendship. [/i] "Ripped through time and space my friend, inconveniently at that." [i]He had a deep voice, a captain's voice made for shouting over wind and waves. Any other person from his time period would have freaked seeing something like Damien's bike, but Bjorke had spent enough time in the present day alongside Lance to know what everything was. [/i]

  • [i]"That... Isn't actually the strangest thing I've heard. Especially around here... Y'know I met a chick who kills dragons for a living around here... Strange people."[/i] [b]Damien was clearly one to talk, with dress shoes on... And the fact that his suit didn't condone GMOs... But his humor was not lacking nonetheless.[/b] [i]"So... No iceberg... Damn. Thought you'd be like... A cool mystery kinda guy. But I like the whole... Uh... Russian vibe you got going on."[/i] [b]Or he was just stupid. Damien had flunked history class mostly for not caring. Sure, he could recite all America's judicial laws, and he knew the national anthems of most South African Countries. He even knew how to count in Gnomish. But that didn't stop him from purposefully being dumb...[/b] [i]"Anyways... The name's Damien. Thought I'd go for a drive with music. But my stereo broke so I did some tricks instead."[/i] [b]He extended his wrapped arm, the cloth only barely hiding the rigid and clanky design of its mechanical system.[/b]

  • [i] Instead of shaking his hand, Bjorke clasped his forearm in a tight grip and pumped it. Must be a Viking thing.[/i] "I'm a Viking, Mr. Damien. Scandinavian. Now would you be so kind and tell me where the hell I am?" [i] He said with a booming laugh. When he laughed.. he laughed. The angler fish at the bottom of the ocean probably heard it. [/i]

  • [i]"The Dojo... a place of freaky people, weapons, and... That's about it. It's still weird though."[/i] [b]Damien shrugged and grinned at the man's laugh. He liked the guy already.[/b] [i]"So... How'd you get here? You said something about dimensions... But last I checked... Vikings didn't have those under control."[/i]

  • "No, a friend of mine does though. And a dojo sounds like the kind of place he'd be. Makes sense." [i] Bjorke crossed his arms, damn they were big. Not really the toned athletic kind a lot of people have, but they were massive and packed with muscle. [/i] "Say, you seen a guy around here who looks like he's from Japan? Demon mask, black armor, katanas, dangerous as a storm in the winter?"

    [i]"It couldn't possible be my favorite oriental white man, Lance, could it? Really dumb, kinda ugly, wears glasses, reads manga all day, white hair, green eyes? Right? Or maybe it's the other one... I can't say..."[/i] [b]Damien chuckled and pushed his hair back, looking towards the Dojo over the sand run offs.[/b] [i]"Yeah... I've seen him... Not sure where he is now though."[/i] [b]Damien shrugged and dismounted from his bike, setting the helmet onto the seat.[/b]

  • "Yeah, that's him Sandals." [i] Bjorke said with another loud laugh, pulling his helmet off. The face didn't quite match the personality, seeing as his features seemed to be mean as hell. Short hair on the side and a mop on top, with a bushy grown out beard. Scars crossed his face, and pale blue eyes stared out. Where Lance's were ice cold and screamed power and rage, Bjorke's had a humorous light to them.[/i] "I'm gonna have a whale bone to pick with him though, pulled me away right as I was about to open the score of a lifetime." [i] He shook his head in disappointment.[/i] "He owes me big time."

    [i]"If you manage to punch him, I'll buy you a pint."[/i] [b]Looks out over the ocean, and the stretch of beachhead that wandered towards the more rocky side of the coast. His story was believable... Especially since a swim here or boat landing would be... Dangerous, to say the least.[/b] [i]"Any idea why he brought you here?"[/i]

  • "I won't know until I find him. Never do, but I know he never calls one of us here. There's probably a few more of us scattered around." [i] Whoever the "us" was, he didn't elaborate. He tucked the helmet under one arm and shrugged.[/i] "You a friend of his?" [i] Bjorke said it with a slight amount of disbelief. The Lance he knew didn't have many friends.[/i] [spoiler]https://imgur.com/a/zwU6r Because I forgot it in the last reply lol. [/spoiler]

    [i]"That's a hard one to answer. It could be one sided. My best response is... I know him pretty well and think highly of him, in a straightly plutonic way."[/i] [b]Specific... And a dumbass... What a coincidence.[/b] [i]"Friends is too much of a malleable word."[/i] [b]Damien whistles to himself in surprise, realizing he had acquaintances... And a lot of cool people he wasn't sure he shared mutual friendships with.[/b]

  • "That's a couple of big words that I don't understand but we'll roll with it." [i] Bjorke said with a grin. [/i] "Seen any other foreigners that look like they hopped out of time portals? I shouldn't be the only one."

  • [i]"Witch Doctor? I'm a Doctor, and I've met some witches, but not a combination..."[/i] [b]Damien grinned and yawned, his long pointed tongue poking out slightly. He was basically a white man with a cat mouth... Dude had a few abnormal problems... But he wore them like badges of honor... So insulting them probably wouldn't work out...[/b] [i]"Oh! And a few wizards."[/i]

  • [i] He let's out another loud laugh, nodding at Damien[/i] "I can tell we will be good comrades my friend. She's got fire, and that's not just because she has red hair. Can call down lightning or engulf you in flames, she's a feisty one." [i] He runs a hand through his bushy beard.[/i] "Along with being tolerant of no bullshit, and has a thing for our mutual ninja friend."

He leapt right back onto the seat of his bike and nodded to Bjorke.[/b] [i]"I'd offer you a ride... But it's only got room for one... And I have some friends of my own I'm off to meet. Dojo isn't too far from here. Maybe six or seven miles. You can run it in maybe an hour and a half."[/i]
