(Like Chris, I'm fine as long as Thaine gets to come back to life.)
Thaine rode up side-by-side with the prince. "I'm here under the command of your sister," he said formally. "Anything that you say to tell me to go back shall not be listened to." Thaine's features softened, then he spoke in a much more relaxed voice. "I once thought as you did," he said. "When I first became an archer of Tara's group, I knew about death. However, deep down I thought nothing could hurt me; that I was invincible. That was until I almost died, and I witnessed the death of another." He turned to the prince. "What I'm saying now will probably not change your mind, but once you witness true death and perhaps nearly recieve it yourself you may realize mortality and that you are capable of dying. There are some battles no one can win." He sighed.

((I'm guessing, what with his sharing a brain with Ikiun, Raynaer's not about to go anywhere? XD Oh... I"m gonna need you to RP Yu Jie before I can post, Misslynx...^-^;;; Assassination is a takes-two-to-tango kinda job  )) |

((Oh, right, sorry. ^^; I just didn't really have anything to make her do...Meh. I'll post something fairly short.
And the reason I'm not sending Raynaer to the God Realms is 'cause he's already on Ikiun's side. Meh.))
Menefer, Sakuya Island
Yu Jie sighed and stared out the window as she had done so many times before. They were in one of the palace's many sitting rooms, yet again. King Thu was chatting quietly with Kishi, and a few maids sat in the back, doing some embroidery.
Royal Castle, Anistawn
"Amarante only sent you because she wants to seem nice and responsible to my parents." was the prince's reply. If he seemed one bit affected by Thaine's story, he didn't show it. "Anyway, let's go. I got on my horse to ride, not to chat." with that he kicked his stallion to a trot and started heading towards the woods.
DragonHood, Anistawn
Cyrus nodded and took a bag filled with coins out of his drawer and handed it to Chris. "That should be enough."

And, as you may know, this little assassination will fail  )) Raynaer walked up to the door, and knocked. Knocking on the room where the Princess, Queen and King were was a very, very bold move for a servant. A servant without a solid inkling of what to do. He had been on missions like this before, and all he did was let himself go. The words would come, the actions be done, and the plan unveiled as he moved. A maid opened the door, squinting quizzically at Raynaer. "I have news for Yu Jie. Another courter has come." The maid sighed. "You came up here to tell us that? What in Amari's name - " Raynaer was pushing open the door in the maid's face, smile sickly sweet. Making the msot elegant bow he had made in his life, he looked to King Thu first. How did Sakuyan customs work? "Your majesty," he intoned, his voice clear and resonant, "though usually this is unimportant, another courter has come for Yu Jie. However, in this case, it is one of rank, if minor; an Anistawn Lord. He claims to be from Dragonhood, though I cannot confirm this. Would it please your majesties for me to escort Yu Jie to him?" That should be honey-coated enough to win over a rock. The King looked at Raynaer hard enough Raynaer wondered whether he was trying to see through him and the wall behind. "You are?" Skeptical. Very skeptical. "Kinred To'ani. Newly appointed to Maid Prefect as of last week, Your Highness." Anistawn had Prefects. Did Sakuya? How couldn't it?" The King looked doubtful, but his wife touched his arm. "Dear, let her go. It will be all right." Sniffing, the King nodded. Raynaer looked to Yu Jie and tried to keep his jaw off the floor. She was beautiful. No wonder how many men courted her! Only a madman wouldn't. If his voice shouldn't be shaky, then rocks were soft. By some miracle, it kept its resonance, if not its assurance. "If it pleases Your Grace?" |

Yu Jie raised an eyebrow, but got up. A maid put down her embroidery and hurried up to her, placing her silk skirts carefully and checking to make sure not a strand of her black hair was out of place.
Yu Jie gave an annoyed sigh but waited patiently for her to finish. After the maid went back to her place, the princess set her hazel eyes on Raynaer. "I am ready." she said, "You can escort me to this Anistawn Lord you speak of now."

Chris takes the bag. "Thanks. Enjoy your sword." Chris walks back outside. Where Ice was dozing. Chris walks over to the dragon and pokes him with a stick that he had picked up.
"Come on wake up."
Ice opens one eye grumbles then gets up.

Yu Jie gave an annoyed sigh but waited patiently for her to finish. After the maid went back to her place, the princess set her hazel eyes on Raynaer. "I am ready." she said, "You can escort me to this Anistawn Lord you speak of now." As soon as the door closed, Raynaer grinned. He couldn't help it; everything was going oh-so-smoothly. Walking in front of Her Grace, Raynaer walked towards the guest rooms, where the "Lord" would be waiting. In truth, all that was waiting was his hidden dagger and a would-be corpse. Starting to open the grand door for Yu Jie, Raynaer was beginning to regret having to kill such a beautiful woman when a voice began in his head. But it wasn't Ikiun. You don't have to do this.Grabbing his head, Raynaer gasped. Something was wrong. Bring her to the main hall.He noticed Yu Jie was looking at him. Closing the door, he coughed, and didn't even try to smile, instead going for 'abashed'. Whatever smile came would be clearly sickening. "I... I am so foolish, m'lady. He said he would await you in the foyer; in my haste, I forgot he had forgone the traditional showing to the guest room. Forgive me, Your Grace, and if it pleases you, follow me..." She was skeptical, and rightly so, but as he began walking he heard her skirts swishing. Leave her in the main hall, and flee. Thatvoice! What was it? Who was it?! KILL HER! Ikiun was back, and in full force. KILL THE PRINCESS! YOU ARE MINE!They were in the foyer now. Sweating, Raynaer turned to face the princess, who was clearly taken aback. KILL!Spare her and run, Raynaer! Run!Taking out his dagger, Raynaer twisted it around and hit Yu Jie in the forehead with the hilt, knocking her unconscious before she could scream. Dragging her, he heard a maid scream, and he began to run, casting a rainstorm and fog to cover his tracks with all his power. Something was wrong. Very, very wrong. |

((Yeah, I guess it would be alright if Dydri got killed. So long as she comes to life again, of course. Also, I need the guards to do something. ;D))

((Eek, terribly sorry...^^; I'm all mixed up because of the RPing at different places so I forget things...Eh...)) Menefer, Sakuya Island"Aye...Fine." said the guard and opened the gate door for her. *** Yu Jie remained unconscious. |

"darn... I forgot to send that other sword to Menefer didn't I?"
Ice thinks then nods.
"We need to go home to pick it up..."
Ice sighs. Chris climbs on the dragon's back. They both fly up into the sky. Chris hanging on with one hand muttering....

Dydri smiled pleasently at the guards as she walked in. As soon as she was in she tore into the palace, looking for the rulers. Although she only wanted to tell them that the storm had been magic, she felt something bad in the air.

Raynaer fell on his face, gasping for air. He kept the fog not only for cover, but for cooling his sore legs and throat. Something had gone horribly wrong this night, and he knew it. Rolling over and dropping the princess, he watched as she moaned. Royalty or no royalty, his actions had them in the same boat now. And the boat was sinking. Sighing, he waited for her to wake up and lay down, closing his eyes. What would come, would come. And even though the boat was infested with termites and in a thunderstorm, he couldn't do anything yet. ((Which means Yu Jie can wake up whenever )) |

((Just a question...Are they still in the castle or outside now...?))
Yu Jie moaned and put a hand to her forehead. Her head ached horribly as she tried to remember what had happened.
She opened her eyes and sat up. Looking around, she tried to figure out where she was, but, just as her memory of the last events before she was knocked out, she didn't recognize this setting.
It was when she set her eyes on Raynaer that it hit her. She'd been called out of the sitting room to meet some Anistawn Lord. He was the one who'd been supposed to escort her to him, but as far as she remembered, there had been no Lord. Just this Maid Prefect and a dagger he used to knock her unconscious.
"Where did you take me...?" her voice was quiet and polite, but inside she felt like slapping him for doing whatever he'd done to her. Of course, Sakuyan ladies were absolutely not supposed to show such lack of self-control, especially not the princess herself, and she had been raised knowing that extremely well. It had now become a reflex to be polite at all times, even when she was fuming. "And, most of all, why?"

"We'll deliver it tommorow." ICe nodded and they both go inside.
