[u]"Beyond The Dojo"[/u]
[u]Ko Rudo Mountain Range, 3:41 PM[/u]
[u]Cain and Lilly Coldbourne[/u]
-------------------------------------
"I didn't have questions about you heading up there. I do have a few about the little girl, though."
[i]Victoria spoke up, as the Jeep™ carried onwards upon the abandoned dirt road, with Cain sitting next to her and Lilly buckled up in the back. The woman had taken to personally bringing the two siblings to their designated location, alongside actually arming Cain with items from the armory: not only did he have a lightweight vest of leathered plating underneath his jacket, but a round shield was in the back, next to his prized spear. Victoria had additionally gotten a vest that was lighter for Lilly, if the girl desired actual armoring.[/i]
"Anyway.. a quick reminder. You're heading in, you're heading out - we still don't know what could exactly be up there. Survivors that still serve Tywin, monsters, Dojo members gone rogue, that sort. But we do know that if there's a supply beacon up there, it's something big that was lost only a short time ago."
[i]The off-road vehicle would begin to slow down, chilling winds breezing past the windows while Victoria parked the Jeep™ with a simple motion. Up ahead was a looming cliff, the rock both a mixture of smooth and jagged, slate grey and icy white. A rock staircase traversed into the mountain, spiraling throughout it and leading into it's treacherous depths.[/i]
[i]The Ko Rudo Mountains. Victoria's grip tightened over the steering wheel.[/i]
"I'll place a beacon if you get lost.. you should be able to radio in for help, though. You both have food and water for three days..
...So, you ready?"

Cain leapt off his steed, and the horse ran out with all of the soldiers who had taken grasp of it along with Lilly. Cain ran to each soldier, helping them as quickly as he could until he was able to round up all of them. With that, he lead the way towards the exit of the mine.
-
[i]The two's operation would save the group, to say the very least.[/i] [i]As the soldiers and Coldbournes found themselves outside, the team of men and women would ignite a small flame, melting away the ice. The captain from before would stare at Cain, before only nodding at him. Meanwhile, both Coldbournes could detect confusion in the soldier's voices.[/i] "I saw him, the bаstard child.." "No, not the Immortal One.." "That damn singing made me.." "What was that singing?" [i]...A bit of questioning would be good.[/i]
-
“Do you guys h-have any connection to what just happened?” Lilly asked them, putting her hood back up to shield her from the weather.
-
[i]The few awake men and women sighed, letting each other explain.. to the best of their ability, anyway.[/i] "We don't know. The supplies.. those were ours, yet your supplies as well. But the hallucinations.." "That sounded like Lady Athena's voice.."
-
“Lady...Athena?” Lilly asked with a raised eyebrow. “As in...the goddess?”
-
"No, ma'am. Our holy priestess Athena, the songstress of the King, Armillion. An honest and kind women, yet she as disappeared from the capitol.." "Was that truly her? Or a shade of evil?"
-
“Is she blue?” Cain suddenly asked, without any context given to those around him.
-
"...Well, her hair is a light shade of cyan, mixed in with a beautiful silver glamor. And her face, such a-" "Oh, shut it." [i]A soldier would smack his fist over the admirer's head, the rattling of the helmet ringing out.[/i] "Yes, ser. She does have blue hair."
-
“And...is she adopted by a “sun king?”’ Cain then asked. Lilly furrowed her brow as she looked up at the towering figure. “Cain? Where is this coming from?!” “The book I found in the mine. You were out cold when I read it.”
-
"...Lord Armillion Trayven, you mean.. and a book?" [i]The captain questioned, though he would shake his head.[/i] "No, not adopted. The King would adopt children of the fallen, evil tyrants that he had slain, for their widows despised them.. seemingly coincidental, all have obeyed - Princess Isabella, Princess Freya, and Prince Julien, are all children that he would take in." "Then, there is Arthur, his eldest child. Then.. the bаstard-" "Silence!" [i]The captain would slap the soldier, the same one that had been hit before. Perhaps afterwards, Cain should get to know this one..[/i] "Lady Athena is one of m'lord's subjects. Nothing more. Her sister was as well, until her untimely death.."
-
“I’ve...never heard of any of this before.” Lilly stated. “It...begs the question. Where are you all...from? Exactly? Like where on Tatakai?”
-
"...Not.. exactly, m'lady." [i]At that, the captain did shuffle around a little. He had something to hide, yet it didn't seem as if he wanted to hide it from his saviors, and his men's saviors. And well.. Lilly was actually remotely kind.[/i] "We originate.. from a separate land entirely. Tatakai is corrupted, by anarchist and power-hungry monsters under the hides of men. Therefore.. ...The kingdom of Trayve has declared warfare upon the Dojo, and those who would support it."
-
“I do not think there is anyone smart enough at the dojo to rule Tatakai.” Cain commented. “Ya I’m pretty sure it’s leaders are like, hardly present to begin with.” Lilly added. [spoiler]*pew pew!*[/spoiler] “Then it should be a fairly easy win for this empire. Unless those you serve are as corrupt as the ones you fight.” Cain put bluntly.” “Cain!” “We don’t have a good track record with kings Lilly.”
-
[i]The soldiers looked back and forth at each other, out of a certain, equal confusion. Finally, one would break the chilling silence, as one looked up at Cain.[/i] "...Our king.. is not corrupt. I can assure you that. I.. I believe that it is time that we find a better place to speak. This weather is.. freezing."
-
“Is it?” Cain asked the soldier. Lilly and Cain both seemed fine in the cold weather, compared to their new company. However Lilly knew this was relative to their genetics as Coldbournes, and she wouldn’t want to give that portion of their life away. Yet. She wasn’t sure if she could trust these people, in fact she knew she didn’t. They would declare war against the Dojo, the people who helped free the world from her father grasp and others who had sought to claim it. “Yes! Cain! Stop with the sarcasm!” Lilly told Cain as he then looked at her in confusion. “But it isn’t-“ “Warm? Yes! It is not warm! That’s for s-sure! Let’s find someplace else!”
-
"We would have to follow you to wherever you seek to head, ser and ma'am. We know one pathway out of the mountain, yet all that we had would be within the now destroyed cave.." [i]The soldiers would motion for the two to follow them, as they began to head down a pathway. One that was different from the high pathway that lead up to the mouth of the cave, now filled in by ice and rock.[/i]
-
“So this will take us back into the mine?” Cain asked as they descended the slopes.
-
"No, it will take us down the mountain. There are a few camping down there!" [spoiler]Want to skip ahead? Nothing much, the Trayven's will get Cain and Lilly to the Dojo for the treaties.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]yep yep let’s do it [/spoiler] “W-we’ll alright! Sounds like a plan!” Lilly said.
-
[b]MISSION[/b]: Success [b]REWARDS[/b]: +250 Crystalline Coins for Cain and Lilly [i]Before Cain and Lilly would enter, Cain would meet the robotic Salesman once more, as the Trayven soldiers curiously studied the foreign being's wares. [/i] "[b]Ohoho! Cain, Lilly! Lilly, Cain! Come hither, dear friends![/b]" [i]The Salesman would open up his wares, before scrounging through his items. Finally, he held out two different items, each item held with four of his eight arms - outstretched to the sturdy Cain would be a broadsword, the double-edged blade slightly burning with a trapped heat from within. For Lilly, it was a tome of knowledge, flickering with an icy light..[/i] "[b]For free![/b]"
-
“For FREEEEEEEEEE?!” Lilly exclaimed as she grasped the book. “Yes for free.” Cain told her as he grasped the sword and strapped it around his waist.
-
[i]As Lilly would open the book (sorry for character-jack), knowledge from a foreign land would enter her mind. The freezing wrath of ice.. yet not it's chilling edge, but it's resilience, it's strong stature, it's eternal, cold will. [url=https://img00.deviantart.net/216c/i/2014/158/7/0/ice_knight_by_nosaj7541-d7jd6hd.jpg]The first page held a single picture - a looming figure, of ice and stone. It was tall and hardened, as if it was a knight of pure, weathered ice and rock alone.[/url][/i] [i]A single name would ring out.. "Boral".[/i] [i]The book would glimmer, before fading away suddenly.[/i]
-
“Whoa.” Lilly said softly as she looked down at her now empty hands. Cain raised a large eyebrow at his little sister as she whispered under her breath, the name she had been told. [i]”Boral...”[/i]
-
[i]The darkened afternoon skies would glow with a brilliant light, as if an aurora borealis had shone throughout the thick clouds. A whirlwind would swirl in front of Lilly, as a figurine of frost and slate would arise, standing at seven feet in height. It would look down, kneeling and bending it's head forth towards Lilly.[/i] "[u]My lady.[/u]" [i]That was all that Boral would mutter.[/i]
-
Lilly’s eyes went wide as her mouth gaped, looking at the knight with awe. Cain furrowed his brow as he eyed the warrior. “I am here to serve you, My lady.” Boral told Lilly. “How do you plan on serving her?” Cain asked the knight. “I aim to protect her, no matter the cost.” “WHOO! COOL ICE KNIGHT ALL FOR MYSELF! NICE!” Lilly exclaimed as she clenched her fist with victory.
