[b]Chapter Ten[/b]
It was absolutely freezing out on the Ko-Rudo landscape. Roy had gotten out of his car, for the sake of "stealth" so that he could approach the city of Northpeak. He had been here before, with Alex. The two came to Northpeak so that they could recruit soldiers. In the end they convinced a small rebellion lead by a boy named Joseph, under the promise that the city would be retaken and released of its disgusting leaders control. The city was cold and dark the last time Roy had seen it. Now that he approached the hill, and made his way up on top of it so that he could see the city below, he saw something much different.
Light.
[spoiler]For Roy[/spoiler]
English
-
Royal was silent, his N7 armour wasn't on. Instead, he sported his dragon scale armour. With the hood down, revealing his face. He sighed to himself, and suddenly his body glew, warming him up through fire magic. He started downwards, towards the city itself, thinking about how it had changed since last time
-
[spoiler]and what does his face look like, I wonder?[/spoiler] As he made his way down the road, the City was closer in view. He heard people talking and cheering away. Not only was there light, but a sense of warmth. But now he had to decide how he wanted to do this. Would he walk through the city? Or find a different way in?
-
His face was young, extremely young, looking to be only about 24 at most. Though a scar ran across his cheek, from his dimple to the bottom of his ear. This "scar" was mostly white, showing how it had been there for quite sometime. And even seemingly older than he was. For the people who actually knew Roy, his face would be a suprise. At the ripe age of 11,000 years old, he was still looking dynamite to say the least. He walked through the city, knowing his intentions, his goals. He was going in peacefully. One way only.
-
He passed through the open gate easily. The guards were to busy talking and laughing to notice him slip through. Then, he saw the new Northpeak. There were lights everywhere. They were all connected by wires and it almost looked like Christmas as he made his way through. People walked down the streets, wearing their parkas and other warm clothing items. Many people stopped to talk on the street, smiling and laughing within one another. The homes were no longer dull. The oak wood homes were filled with light and warmth. It was 6:00pm, and Royal could smell cooked meats and stew now.
-
[spoiler]Did I choose a good pic for Royal? I can't tell [/spoiler] "Life I couldn't have..." Royal commented, continuing his Trek through the city
-
The view of the castle at Northpeak came into view. It seemed significantly more colourful then when Teagan was in charge. The castle had a large courtyard out front. The castle was in the shape of an L, with the turn of the L facing Roy as he walked up on his left side. The castle was a series of four towers. The shortest being on the left, and the towers went up like a stair case until the end of the L. The courtyard was paved nicely and it was cleared of snow. There were lights all over the castle upon Royals approach. Then, he was halted. "Hey!" A voice yelled at him from his right. A guard approached Roy from his right. He had a parka on and a pistol on his hip. But his face... Royal new his face. "Wait a second. Royal?" Joseph asked him. Joseph was the rebel leader of North peak. But now he was...a guard. More guards surrounded Roy. It was like they hadn't seen trouble in a while, but they were still familiar with it.
-
"Joseph?! You're still alive!" Royal said, bear hugging the old resistance leader "I was sure, that you would be dead. I've heard Tales...."
-
The armed guards all drew their weapons, but Joseph, with his free hand, raised it. They all lowered their weapons. This made Roy uneasy to say the least. "You...may want to let go of me. Don't get me wrong, I'm...[i]glad[/i]...to see you as well."
-
"No. I know what the rules are. I know what I'm walking into." Royal said, smiling. He let go and took a step back, but kept his arms extended towards Joseph "Cuff me, right? Take me to the dungeons. Probably torture me. Maybe even see my death."
-
Edited by Inflatablepants: 4/19/2017 1:43:24 AM"I...well we aren't going that far." Jospeh told him. "We may be with the Coldbourne's now. But if Princess Lilly found out we did that well..." Jospeh looked sort of uncomfortable as he spoke. One of the men walked up to answer for him. "We'd get quite an earful." He said. "Ya. That's about right. And right now well, more stress probably isn't good for her." Jospeh said.
-
"That's a shame. Because I... Well I need to see her...." Royal said, lowering his arms awkwardly
-
"I assumed so." Joseph said as he let out a breath. "But you know very well, that Lord Tywin wouldn't allow that. Right? I'd have to kill you. He had strict orders. Kill any dojo member on sight. Currently, we're all disobeying him by having you still breathing right now...."
-
"Dojo member? Oh you probably haven't heard. I left the dojo a month ago, after Alex's death. Gave that life up." Royal said, frowning
-
Jospeh looked at Royal with disbelief. "C'mon now royal. Are you REALLY gunna try that one?" He asked him. Jospeh didn't believe Royals lie. Which would make things difficult for the sensei if he were to get in to see Lilly.
-
"Ask around. I wasn't in the dojo at all last month. In fact, due to my absence Falk had to step in as sensei. You know Falk I'm assuming. Plus, if I was around than I would've been here sooner. And one of the Coldlosers would he fúcking Dead."
-
The guards raised their weapons on Royal due to his threat. Jospeh sighed as he looked at him. "Royal. We know what happened. Prince Felix sent you all a month into the future. He told the army that himself." He told Royal. "Whether it was to inform us or break some people's hope, I don't know. But the Coldbourne army already knows that."
-
"Bam! See I was telling the truth. I wasn't around. Therfore, not a dojo member..." Royal said, throwing his hands into the air
-
Jospeh couldn't help but chuckle at Royal. Quite frankly, royal was surprised the group hadn't opened fire on him right now. "Alright, Royal. I get it. You need to see Lilly. But...why? What do you want to get out of it? You didn't bring any weapons with you. So you aren't here to harm her...right?"
-
"No. The way I see it, putting... Politely." He said, glancing at the guards around him. "Lilly is the most kind hearted of the Coldbourne family. The youngest. She doesn't deserve to be going through this. Seeing her own brother get murdered in front of eyes. Really does something to a kid. My first goal is to make sure she's okay. Hence the no weapon policy." Royal said, throwing some jazz hands. "My secondary goal. Well that's not exactly something I can divulge. Since I don't trust any of you. No offense to you, Joseph. But you're Coldbourne now."
-
"I understand, Roy, and I agree full heartedly. She did not deserve what happened, and we know what she is going through. She's...very vulnerable, Royal." Joseph said to him. "But...Maybe, just maybe you can help her. She hasn't talked to anyone from that day since it happened. Tywin sent her out here almost immediately. And...well she puts on a good face for the people of this place. Which is incredibly selfless. But...when she's in the castle. That's a different story. So, this is what I'm going to do, Royal. Me and my men will take you to Lilly. If you try anything, we won't hesitate to put a bullet in your back. You hear me?"
-
"Loud and clear, you're the boss. Just like old times eh?" Royal said, grinning widely
-
"Times have changed Roy. Don't forget that." Jospeh told him as he drew his gun. "Now go on. Make your way up the steps and across the courtyard.
-
"Times have changed..." Royal said, as he walked past Joseph and stopped for a very brief moment. "But they'll change back..." Was all he said, before following the instructions given to him
-
"Hmm. We'll see." Joseph said as he waved his gun and indicated for Roy to move to the courtyard. Four guards followed Roy which excluded Joseph who walked beside him.
-
"How far gone are you, Joseph?" Royal asked his friend quietly, walking at a slight slower pace then walking
