[b][u]Chapter Two[/u][/b] [u][b]The Council of War[/b][/u] [b]3:12 PM[/b] [b]Trayven Head Camp[/b] [spoiler]Closed. This is after all of their interactions, by the way.[/spoiler] [spoiler]All interactions may continue, however they will be in the past. So yeah.[/spoiler] "[i]Sisters, young Niki, proud Freya, and great Isabella - Brother, youthful Oliver,[/i] [i]I require a great deal of assistance against holding back the Tribune and those of which he has taken amongst his ranks. I fear that they have taken the Byoki Desert, and have now begun to send the greatest amongst their ranks - their darkness seeps away at our strength, slowly but surely.[/i] [i]As of now.. I am heading towards the Dojo, whether you have taken it or not. These abominable things seem attached to that goal of destroying the school of fighting for good.. amongst us, as well.[/i] [i]Farewell,[/i] [i]Arthur[/i]" [i]Isabella would promptly rip the parchment into two pieces, sighing deeply to herself before tearing the split letter into four, crumpling it in her gloved hand. The woman shook her head, as Freya would merely watch with a simple, saddened look.[/i] [i]Isabella was "great", in a sense. She was a giant of a woman, towering over Freya at a height of six feet and seven inches tall, while her bodily frame was something more. Her shoulders were broad and strong, in a near masculine look, with a muscular frame toning the body underneath the black steel armoring and purple and black uniform. Scarlet eyes stared at Freya for a bit, with tangles of long, vibrant light violet hair falling down to the base of Isabella's shoulders.[/i] [i]Isabella[/i]: "So he's being a complete dumbass and bringing the fight to us. We need to get these negotiations, Freya.." [i]Freya[/i]: "That's the idea. We've been stalled for the time-" [i]Isabella[/i]: "By [i]what[/i]? I took care of the thieves. They've fallen off the fuсking map after I gave one back, the rest are either dead or chained up. I've ensured that the city is devoid of any other jackasses, and right now? It is." [i]Freya would sigh a little, before responding.[/i] "...Lady Athena has revealed herself." [i]Isabella[/i]: "...Gods, that blue-haired idiot." ---------------------------------- [b]4:57 PM[/b] [b]The Top of the Dojo's Mountain[/b] [spoiler]Open for foreshadowing.[/spoiler] "[i]The fires of war spark with a flame, rebirthing in the dark.. the Tribune and his subjects reclaim what was their's to take.. as our fates become another thing that we must break.[/i]" [i]A lonesome, robed woman sung loudly above the bristling winds, the chilling presence of the beginning storm high above her having no effect on her. Her silk robes floated in the wind, her shawl covering her being entirely as she continued to sing.[/i] "[i]...The eagle and dragon fight for the skies, the golden lion ready to die, as the bаstard siblings ready their lives.. the serpent in the distance hides himself away, as the Tribune's wrath forces him to degrade away..[/i] [i]The night is dark.. devoid of life.. until a single light arrives..[/i]" --------------------------------- [b]4:58 PM[/b] [b]The Dojo[/b] [spoiler]Open to those at the council.[/spoiler] [i]While Isabella and a few others had taken to staying outside, Freya studied the building that she was within.[/i] [i]This was the true Dojo. No, not the fighting academy Dojo, the.. Dojo within the Dojo, it had been called. A place that was supposedly reserved to the Dojo's sensei and leaders. And yet, here she was: a foreigner. It was the Imperium's idea, and she had only taken to implementing it: a massive war table was in the center of the room, torches lining the walls as glasses of pure water lined the table. There was a rarity of alcohol beverages, they would be debating for a while.[/i] [i]So.. she would wait, for those whom would arrive. Alric, Gilliam, Cain, JT.. she waited on them, alright.[/i] [spoiler]You may all converse, as I probably won't be replying too much, lol.[/spoiler] [b]Emp/Lord-Captain Gilliam/Seneschal Vorgen[/b]: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/237861877/0/0/1 [b]Sleek/Alpha[/b]: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/237862425/0/0/1 [b]Jen/Rose[/b]: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/237891750/0/0/1 [b]Royal/Alric, Dojo Commander[/b]: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/237936264/0/0/1
