~[b][u]EMPRESS OF FIRE[/u][/b]~
[url=https://youtu.be/JHUbUMjhsyY]Dragon Age - Empress of Fire (Piano)[/url]
[i]Khaom, once the prideful slaver city and once the only nation that both rivaled Trayve in might and formerly aligned themselves with Trayve, has been laid to waste by the city's own dragon, kept underneath for years in isolation and darkness. Their emperor slain in the arena, their city decimated by blackened flame, the nation has suffered a crushing blow and will likely not recover anytime soon.[/i]
[i]Failure of taking the city from the corruption bred within, on both the Trayven and Tribune's sides, would be a fault on both, though now with no outside threats other than the Rivelrian sand warriors, the two are free to take the war to each other even more.[/i]
-5 Trayven Victory
-5 Tribune Victory
[b]Recollections and the Future[/b]
[u]Rue and Elizabeth[/u]
[spoiler]After her abandonment and Traci's reveal and betrayal, Rue would inevitably calm herself, and seek out what would become of her true sister in the blaze of Khaom. That would be the last that anyone would see of the mage whom lead the Tribune's operation into Khaom.. for the time.[/spoiler]
-3 Tribune Victory
[u]Charla[/u]
[spoiler]Decapitated and murdered by Traci, Charla's diabolical plan to set Khaom ablaze and return to Isabella, begging for her guidance and leadership, was doomed to failure. Yet even so, she did succeed in the release of almighty Ragnarok, whom returns to his master once more..[/spoiler]
[u]Fabio[/u]
[spoiler]After his betrayal, Fabio was executed by Armillion himself, in the council room amongst the king's fellow compatriots. The Guardian's body would be buried deep within the ever-growing crypts of Khaom, only known as the grave of "Fabio Turncoat - Traitor". Yet it is said that hours after the man was laid to rest, a brick of gold was found upon the casket.[/spoiler]
——————————————————
[spoiler]For Cth.[/spoiler]
[i]Traci would feel Ragnarok's rugged scales in her hands, as she would regain consciousness after the long nap that she had descended upon. She felt the wind stroking her cheeks, and could hear the dragon's shallow breaths as it's wings continued to beat and grace the wing. Soon, Ragnarok had begun to glide, as if heading downwards. And beneath them..[/i]
[i]Dojoville?[/i]
-
[spoiler]Sorry that I couldn't get you the information on Cross and Caesar, I had screwed up my laptop a couple weeks ago, the BIOS didn't update properly[/spoiler]
-
He still got paid anyway.... :'-)
-
"That's...a pleasant surprise." Traci clung on tight as they flew downward, observing where the dragon seemed to be landing. "I should find Freya..."
-
[i]The beast seemed to descend a little, occasionally groaning in some pain as it would flutter down. The shard of obsidian rock from Rue's first shot out of panic was still embedded into the dragon's waist, and throughout the flight, droplets of wine red blood showered the air behind them. Soon, it became evident that those in the Dojo saw the beast, with horns ringing throughout the city as Ragnarok took to directing itself to the outskirts of the town.[/i]
-
"Sorry I couldn't heal you, Ragnarok..." She tried to wave down to the people, hoping they'd see her and not fire immediately at the already injured dragon. The girl felt bad enough for having caused the rock in his side.
-
[i]The creature huffed a little in a more understanding tone, as it would land upon the plains outside of Dojoville, next to a large farm. The beast accidentally ruined quite a large amount of crops with it's landing, while Ragnarok seemed to feel shame, releasing a slight whimper while it beckoned for Traci to hop off.[/i]
-
"No worries, we can pay the farmer back." Traci slid off and gave the dragon a small smile, getting rid of her disguise completely. "Feels good to be home."
-
[i]The dragon nodded, while the approaching cavalry of the Trayvens would come to the farm. And leading them, an armored, though shocked Isabella.[/i] "Traci.." [i]She started, while Ragnarok.. literally barked at Isabella, waging the massive tail as it sat upright for her.[/i] "I thought.. what.. ...What happened?"
-
Traci shrugged and sighed, walking towards her. "I have no f*cking idea, but I just want a couple of hugs, a nice warm fire, a blanket, and a cup of hot chocolate."
-
"Do hugs from Freya count with those?" [i]As if she had some good news, Isabella smiled a little at Traci, crossing her arms behind her back. She liked drawing out reactions way too much.[/i]
-
"Of course." Traci weakly smiled. "Her hugs count as extra really..."
-
"Haha. Good.. she's up. I'll.. uh.. catch up with Ragnarok, I guess." [i]Bella murmured, seemingly embarrassed.[/i] "I'll get your report in, later. Don't worry, you'll be paid."
-
"Wait! You own the dragon?!" Traci looked back at Ragnarok then back to Bella with a look of disbelief. "How?! It's...okay then. I wanna see Freya." She sighed again, beginning to jog back to the tent they shared.
-
[i]The tent was occupied, by a lone Freya.[/i] [i]Freya had changed, a little. Her previously short hair had grown out a little, tied into a messy ponytail. She seemed tired, and.. bound, to a wheelchair. She was reading a book quietly - "The Art of War".[/i]
-
Traci walked over, falling to her knees with exhaustion and lazily wrapping her arms around Freya. "Freya..." The girl was dead from the adventure, running out of the tower so fast having taken a toll.
-
"...you're back." [i]Those two words started off Freya's reaction, only accompanied by a sniffle and a few tears leaving her eyes. Her fingers would clasp Traci's, stroking her hands quietly as the cripple cried silently.[/i]
-
"I'm back..." Traci whispered, resting her face in Freya's lap. "I'm sorry I left."
-
"It's not your fault, it's mine. I should've anticipated the attempt on my life.. it was my fault, all of it. And then Bella.." [i]Freya sighed.[/i]
-
"Wait, what are you talking about?" She picked her head up, gazing up at Freya. "What about Bella?"
-
"She's taken control. I don'r even know if I have any control or power anymore.. with her stepping in, anyhow."
-
"I thought you shared the power...come on, you can't let her just take all of that away. We can talk this out, Freya, she can be logical, right? Sometimes? Maybe?"
-
"No. Not really." [i]Freya sighed, groaning to herself as she clenched her hands tightly, balling into firm fists.[/i] "I can't stop her, and I don't want you to try to stop her. I'm a cripple, and if.. if something happened to you.." [i]She sighed again, grabbing Traci's hand.[/i]
-
Traci smiled up at Freya in a reassuring manner, wanting to try and boost her confidence at least a little. "Freya, I'll be fine. Tell me what I can do."
-
"...Talk to her. No threats. No punching. Promise me, Traci. Don't become one of those criminals.. that she burns at the stake." [i]Freya clenched Traci's hand the hardest then, her eyes opening to look up at her.[/i]
-
"I won't, Freya, I promise." Traci kissed the top of Freya's head before beginning to walk away and find Bella.
