[/size][/quote] "Well, it looks like the Scarlet Knight has gone," Pyro said dryly, "Lady Tamia and I are here...." looking up, she heard footsteps coming along the corridor as Sir Frozen walked in. "...and so is Sir Frozen. The others are either wandering the castles, or have already answered the summons with their other respective guilds. As I neglected to state before her hasty departure, I am in accord with Lady Tirilia's view of the situation. Why should we wait for Shino's word when two knights--three, counting Lady Kat--are already there and possibly in danger? Besides, I don't trust this meeting thing. It reeks of ninja trickery."

Tamia smiled wryly. "Don't worry, I think we should all go for this one. And quickly." She glanced over the small number of knights present. "It's funny, I could have sworn Shino was at the castle," mused the Orange Knight. "I didn't think he was with the ninjas..."
She pulled herself back to reality. The Knights were already late. "It's time to catch a ship," she said.

'To catch a ship? Why not a whirlwind or something faster?' asked the Crimson Knight, turning to look at Tamia.

Fj0rd inclined her head at Shino. "It is good to see you as well, Shinobi-san," she said. "Where are the rest of the Knights?"

"Probably out saving the world," sniffed Shadow as she emerged from behind Shinobi. In doing so, she quickly had snatched the little bag hooked to Shinobi's belt, and hid it within the mists of her three dimensional form. "...or they are cowards. Shall we continue, now?"
At least I have something to amuse myself with while they talk, thought Shadow, feeling the bag rest idly in her leg, where she had put it. There is something in this bag that Shinobi values, I can feel it.

(( Yay! *lol*))
The rest of the knights.. No doubt becoming vastly impatient by now Though Tirilia seemed mostly recovered from her interlude with the spirit realm, her senses and vision were relatively impaired in the real world. Though she knew she knelt in the shrubs atop a hill, at the same time she felt as though she was also standing in the square, beside Shino, at the back of the crowd of pirates, and various other places around the Square. Sounds still came as clear whispers and she could see things that others could not. Wispy spirits drifting across the water, under the stone pavement, through the gathering of Mages and Pirates. Thus why the Shadow caught her attention. Not a spirit.. but not a living being... And with all the malice and mischief in its heart as any demon. Suddenly the Shadow moved, touching Shinobi and removing something from his person, its movement almost too quick to see, but with her senses still half stuck in the spirit realm, everything was slowed. Surely the theft of the item could do little harm.. but if it did turn out to be of importance, at least she knew who had taken it. If it was important, Shino could take his own revenge on the ugly thing.

((Just curious, Tirilia - How would a Knight know that Shadow was a mage? Because she has no allegiance to anyone on her profile. Unless I slipped up and said out loud somewhere that I was a mage. )) The shadows pleaded with Shadow to leave the group - there was another figure nearby, someone who could possibly pose a threat because already, the figure had broken a Chivalric code... Shadow waved them away - the meeting she was in was far more interesting. Furthermore, while Shadow could not kill, she could not be killed and no one (yet) had discovered a way to cause Shadow any pain. No one posed a threat to Shadow. Unknown to Shadow, however, that was going to change in the coming conflicts.

"To catch a ship? Why not a whirlwind or something faster?" Zari commented.
Tamia could only imagine what Zari was planning. Hopefully nothing life-threatening.
She glanced once more at the oaken doors at the end of the hall, and made a decision. "If anyone else wants to be there, they're probably already on their way. What do you have in mind?"

'Ever Flown by dragon Before?' asked Zari. 'It's not that dangerous.' she rummaged in her bag. 'What a lovely time to vanish. Nalixa?' 'I was riding Zaha. Sorry.' The speaker was a six-inch sky blue dragon, hanging off a windowledge. 'Have you seen Dusk?' 'Yes, I have. In the grounds.' Zari turned back to Tamia 'So? Any answers?'

Omni had been bored, waiting around. In order to keep herself occupied, she had been fracticing her fire spells on small objects. She actually managed to set quite a few things on fire.
When she heard Shino coming, she rolled off-of her back and sat up. She waited to hear what they had been called for, her tail twitching anxiously.

Ikkin's tail twitched with irritation. What was Shino doing? She couldn't think of one reason why he and Fj0rd should be talking like that, when Fj0rd had not even noticed the leaders of the other two groups.
She couldn't help but think there was something wrong here. Fj0rd had asked Shino where the rest of the knights were, as if he was supposed to bring them all. Sev had told her earlier that the knights had received a similar summons to the one received by the mages and the pirates. Yet, Shino told all of the other knights to stay behind. It was very suspicious.
But what reason would Shino have for ordering the other knights to stay behind? He must have known something that the others didn't... but, why? No one else seemed to have any clue of what was going on.
Perhaps... she thought. No, Shino couldn't have been a ninja. She'd seen him at the castle almost every time she had been there... could he have really gone to the ninja without her knowing? But then again, she wasn't in the castle all the time anyway. And ninja could sneak out much easier than anyone else.
And there really was no other way that he could know what Fj0rd had planned. He certainly hadn't discussed it with the knights, so it was unlikely he was acting in that capacity. In any case, it was almost certain that he wasn't doing what was in the knights' best interests.
"Sev!" she called, summoning the phoenix to herself once more. "Go warn the knights that Shino isn't acting like himself."
"If you say so..." the phoenix said. "He certainly hasn't done anything to keep your trust..." With that, Sev disappeared in a flash, to reappear back in the castle. He flew through the halls, warning every knight that he came across - "Something is wrong with Sir Shino. He's in Tabloid Town with all the ninja, pirates, and mages, where you are all supposed to be right now, despite the fact that he told you not to go. Expect danger; something is not right about this."
Back at Tabloid Town harbor, Ikkin decided that she might as well make her fears public. "Sir Shino, do you know something that we do not? Why did you tell the knights to let you go alone, if this was something for everyone? Or were you trying to protect them from whatever you'd planned, ninja?"

Shadow did not feel at ease around Fj0rd or Shinobi.
She had done her part of the plan - she had led the mages straight to Fj0rd, and Shinobi was to have brought the knights with him .........
But it was only he. Shadow had been playing her part all this time. Could it be? The thought nagged at the edge of Shadow's mind. Shinobi had always seemed to admire the Knight's hierarchy; always seemed to enjoy having power to wield -
Well, there was only one way to find out. Shadow could not hold her impatience or frustration in any longer. The nerve! He walks in fashionably late and makes the whole world stop for him - Shadow would not let him play a diva.
"Shinobi, what is the meaning of this?" Shadow pointed an accusing finger at the delayed "Knight".
"Where are the knights?" Shadow demanded. "Or have you lost your touch?" Her eyes brightened with a sneer.
"You failed to bring them, didn't you. Failed to convince them to come -" Shadow walked around Shinobi, her eyes boring into his face. "Or, could it be something else?"
"Have you decided to forsake us, Shinobi? Have you come to betray the ninja?" Shadow's anger grew, her rage nearly uncontrollable. She fingered her daggers. "You kept them from coming - you KNEW what was supposed to happen and you PROTECTED them?"
"Where does your loyalty lie, Shinobi - tell us now before these daggers leave my hands of their own accord."

((shew.... awwwwkwarrrrd... XD this should be interesting))
Tirilia overhears Ikkin whispering to her phoenix and at first thinks she heard the girl incorrectly, but as the phoenix vanishes, she knows she heard right. "Ill be darned" she growls and shrugs, no use hiding any longer. Strolling down the hill just as casually as you please, she approaches the group and hopes she wont incur Shinobi's wrath for disobeying a direct order. She stops just short, hearing Shadow's outburst and narrowing her eyes. She rests her hand atop the pommel of her sword and strolls through the crowd, stepping to her place near Shinobi and narrowing her eyes again, she raises her voice above the crowds mutterings.
"Lord Shinobi is an honorable knight, he would never betray the Knights" She fixes a dark stare on Shadow "He wanted to make certain it was safe for us to come, self sacrifice. He commanded us to stay behind while he scouted the situation.. as is his rightful duty"
"What wrongss has he done you Sshadow? Are you sso keen to taste the blood of Knightss?" Weirdly, her voice seems to have gained an angry hissing edge, though it is hardly noticeable.
