Conquered by the Knight

[bluntforcemama]

OOC: Looking for someone to play some medieval characters, the lady's brother, The Dark Knight, several of his army's knights, a king, maidens, warriors, court jesters, anything you can think of that would fit in the dark ages...

IC:
Lady Elizabeth woke suddenly from a dreary sleep, listening to the crash of the drawbridge below her window. It was raining, and she could hear the shouts and cries of men, the clashing of swords, the whining of horses in the darkness. They were being attacked. Ever since her evil brother had broken a truce with the Dark Knight of Edinburgh, she knew this night would come, though she remained quiet, wanting her brother to suffer at the hands of the dark lord, the mysterious baron that was rumored to drink the blood of his kills. Elizabeth got out of bed and rushed to the window, trying to avoid the rain that poured in and soaked her nightgown. She stared below at the flickering fires, the bodies strewn, the water of the lake violently stirring. As she watched the fighting, she gripped the front of her gown and covered her mouth. A man in soot-colored armor was staring right at her, watching her white gown soak up the rain in the window.

Black Knight

OOC: Can ibe the black Kngiht

IC: In the midst of the Battle, My eyes catch a beautiful woman in her white gown. I coudl not help but see it cling to her body adn become see-through as raing ot on it. As the rain dripped down my black helmet, I could nto take my eyes off the beautiful woman. I was almopst strck down from my carelessness. I met the guards sword with mine, and quickly decapitated the weakling, then looked back to where the woman was. She was till, there and my eyes met deeply wiht hers. They both locked togetherr almost hypnotized.

 

[bluntforcemama]

OOC: Hotstuff, sure!

IC: Lady Elizabeth clutched her gown to her breasts, her mouth open in terror as she saw the knight looking back at her, watched as he severed the head from one of her brother's men. She backed away from the window slowly, her face stricken, and ran to the door. She had to escape, or she would become prisoner to the likes of the Knight. Images of toture chambers and rape made her stomach churn. She fell to her knees on the cold stone floor, surely she would lose her dinner here in the hall!

"Mi'Lady!" someone called.. a female servant.

Elizabeth struggled to her feet and ran down the stairs, ignoring the waves of nausea from the jarring steps down the flight, rushing past panicked servants, her brother's men as the rushed to the towers to take aim as snipers. SHe ran to the kitchen, there was a small door that led into the pantry, and out back. She could run into the woods from there unseen. Not many people knew about the stone that could be pushed aside and lead into the forest. She slid the stone to the side. It fell over in a topple of dirt and shattered. She crawled through the hole and dirtied her wet gown. She stood up to run...

 

[Naoko]

OOC: Would you guys mind if I was one of Dark Knight's higher higher-ranking minions? Although female, I prove to hold a great amount of power in battle, and show no mercy to my victims.
Raven, long black hair, green eyes. 5'6", 115 lbs. Pale skin and a frightening aura that sends chills down one's spine. Emotionless with no feeling of compassion.
Are you going to allow magic in this? If so I'll probably make Raven a Shadow Mage or Necromancer.

 

[HotStuff101]

OOC:

hmm, say yer my second in command, and we haev this weird relationship. No emotional attachment, but we do it all the time ^ ^, and then when the good lady comes along, u dont liek her, cause she's making me not so evil.... Just an idea.

 

[Naoko]

OOC: Sounds perfectly good to me.

IC: Raven slashes through the men that dare to challange her, wearing dragonscale armor with an over-protectant magical armor (All of it black in color). She proves deadly with her two katana's, and uses the men's pride against them...mocking them to the point of fury, which makes them make stupid mistakes in battle.

 

[bluntforcemama]

OOC: Welcome to Naoko!

IC: Elizabeth can hear the crashing of swords, the dinging of metal, sickening thuds of bones crushing, pleas from the wounded. Bile rises in her throat and she runs for the cover of darkness in the trees, arrows whistling through the air, flames licking at the castle walls behind her. Pain blasts into her thigh and she falls to the ground beneath a large oak. She looks down to see an arrow protruding from her thigh, the flesh is bloodied and feels like it's on fire. She crawls on her side into the forest, grappling for roots to cling to. She hears something from her right and turns to see what it is... she screams.

 

[Talon]

Bad Guy...or not?

OOC: Well I'm not too sure where your going with this thread, but I'll try my best.
Character:
Kalindor Serpenthelm 'The Slayer'
6'1"
180 pounds
Mercenary, currently employed by The Dark Knight.

IC:
Kalindor wasn't evil...nor was he good. Whichever 'side' had enough money to hire him he'd fight for. Currently, that 'side' was the Dark Knight, and Kalindor had been at the head of his army through thier recent conquests, along with the Dark Knights right hand, 'Raven'.
Kalindor blocked a feeble strike from an opponent whose aim was for the Dark Knight. Kalindor wondered what had captured the 'Knights attention long enough to almost get him killed. He parried another strike, and with unnatural speed sliced through the mans breastplate, cutting a path through his innards that would kill the man instantly. Kalindor pulled his blade from the poor mans chest and backed up, level with the 'Knight. "Find the girl...I want her alive." Kalindor assumed the knight spoke of the Lady Elizabeth, whose beauty was well known in this region. Nodding, he made his way through the tides of battle, his sword cutting a path through the opposition. He soon located a woman in a white dress, running through the courtyard and trying to escape through the woods. Kalindor gave chase, and found her beneath an anchient oak. He must have looked a horrible sight, covered in the blood of his opponents, and carrying a wicked looking Longsword...for she screamed at his approach. Kalindor turned to see some of the Dark Knights 'lesser' minions make thier way towards the beauty...but Kalindor turned them away with hard stares. Apparently the rush of battle was too much for the Lady Elisabeth, for when he turned back to her she was unconcious...

 

[bluntforcemama]

OOC: Talon, it's going just about everywhere, so you have as much control as we do. And welcome, love... I think I'm going to like your character.

IC: Elizabeth awoke in someone's arms, being jarred and jostled like an unbreakable package, but the arrow in her thigh was still jutting into the air. She squirmed, but it was too painful. She looked up at the man's face who was carrying her. He was drenched in red; bloodied from head to toe, his sword dripping with it. She knew not where they were going, but felt safe enough for the moment. She reached up with a trembling hand to his face and wiped some of the bloody grime from his cheek and wiped it on her wet gown. Delirious from the pain, her head fell back again, and her vision went black.

 

[Talon]

Kalindor

OOC: Why thank you, I do try *bows*

IC:
He carried the women to shelter, in the from of the 'Medical' wagon. Mainly for the Dark Knight and his most valuable Minions, the wagon had the supplies and a healer that would see the Lady Elizabeths leg healed unnaturally quick...for Kalindor was sure that the Dark Knight wouldn't want his 'prize' limping around for some time until the wound healed. He set her down, and pulling up her gown, was pleased to see the sight of the arrow head, protruding from the side of her thigh, which would mean the shaft would be easier...and less painful, to extract, without the arrow head cutting a new wound into the skin. He cut the head of the arrow off with a pair of cutters, and held her thigh firmly as he extracted the length of wood from her leg. He tossed the arrow aside and looked up to the magician who stood behind the woman, who was chanting lowly in some arcane tounge. Soon the flesh on her leg began to heal, the wound closeing up so well that it would be impossible to tell where it had been. He looked down at the woman...namely her exposed thigh...who began to stir and awaken. Better for her that she had been unconcious, more than likely. He stepped back a pace, ready if she tried to fight her way free...

 

[bluntforcemama]

She awoke to the cool breeze on her thigh, an aura of power somewhere near her, beside her, watching her. The pain in her leg was gone, and she knew it was some form of black magic. They were pagans! She trembled from the cold, looking at her soaked gown, the raining had lifted a bit, but not sufficiently to let her dry. She covered her breasts with her hands, her damp aubrun hair sticking to the sides of her face and neck. She looked into the eyes of the warrior looking at her exposed thigh. She dare not pull it down with such a gleam in his eye, and so she watched him silently, the blood washing from his face in small rivulets from the drizzle.

 

[Talon]

Kalindor

Kalindor disliked magic himself, and found little need for it. Why use magic when cold steel could settle a matter just as well, if not better? He wiped the blade of his sword clean with bandaging cloth, careful not to snag the cloth on the serated edge just above the crossbar. He slid it home in its leather sheath which rested across his back, careful not to catch it on the top of the wagon. He stepped from the wagon, offering his hand to the Lady..."We cannot have the Dark Prince's prize looking dirty...eh?" She looked at his hand for a moment before taking it...feeling the callousness of his hand, as a result of his many years of swordplay. He helped her down off the wagon...feeling the myst of the light rain washing the blood from his face...

OOC: 'myst' was intentional...if you didn't catch that

 

[bluntforcemama]

Elizabeth

OOC: I did indeed catch it! It's flattering, thank you!

IC: Elizabeth took the warrior's hand, feeling the hard roughness of years of hard labor and work. A man without the time for luxury, she thought. She climbed off of the wagon and into the muck below her, her bare feet squishing in the mud. The cries of war were dimming, her brother's men were lying strewn across the wet lawn, and yet she was spared. She looked up at the knight again.

"Where are we going?" She asked in an English accent. "Who are you?" She was suspicious.

 

[Naoko]

The last of the battle won, Raven stabs her katana forcefully through the last warrior she felled. "Pitifully weak..." She turns her attention to the Dark Knight. "Wouldn't you agree, Sire?"
She yanked her katana back out of the man, wiping it off on bit of cloth and replaced it into the sheath on her back, where her other katana was already placed.

 

[Hakeldama]

Cometh the stranger

OOC:

[HotStuff101]

Dark Knight

OOC: Hi everyone new. Sorry havent posted in a lil bit, ive been busy last day or 2.


IC: The Dark Knight calmly walks thorugh the battlefield scarred wiht dead soldiers. As the battle continues in a few areas, He walks toward the medical tent to see if, the mercenary Kalindor, has retreaved the woman. As he walks in, he Asks in a dark an mysterious voice, "Have you retreaved the prize..."

 

[Talon]

Kalindor

OOC: Aye, welcome to the new guy.

IC:
Kalindor looked down at the woman, presuming that one in her position would hear rumors of battles, and more importantly the best warriors of the land, so he took no offense to the question. "Kalindor Serpenthelm..."
He cleared his throat as he saw the Dark Knight approach, close on his heels the Lady Raven, and behind her the victory cries of the Dark Knights army. He studied them as he let his free hand rest on the pommel of the dagger on his belt. He watched the graceful movements of Raven, noting that the Katana's on her back were not her most deadly 'weapons'. He imagined she would be like a wild animal in bed...impossible to tame and rough to please. He then looked down to the lady at his side...and noted that she would be gentle and slow. Either way, he would like to test out his theories.
He nodded at the Knights' question, releasing the Lady Elizabeths hand. "Indeed I have..."

 

[HotStuff101]

Dark Knight

"Very good Kalindor, Your talent is proven once again, here is a bonus to your pay..."Says the Dark Knight as he pulls, a puch from his side and throws it to Kalindor. He walks over to the Lady Elizabeth and introduces himself, "You must be Lady Elizabeth, it is a pleasure to finally meet, you, I am The Dark Knight, and htis is My Second in command, Raven, it is a shame your coward of a brother isnt here aswell. please, do tell me where he ran before this battle?"

 

[papillon24]

OOC:

Atara about 17 was raised in the forrest by the woles untill Lady Elizabeth's men captured her as a prise of the her. Made to eat leftover scraps and wear only rough cloths.Usually kept in the lower areas in the castle so she would not be an embarassment to the casle. Usually was toyed with by the gaurds and is quite agressive to humans.
Now the men of the dark men found her while rummaging through the castle and bring her to him on a leash to see what will be done with her. Her long messy brown hair hangs over her face to hide her shame.

IC: All I know is that I am being taken somewhere, and everytime I try and run, this leash chokes me so painfully. These men are terrible, running thier hands over me.

I am outside though and smell blood. Smells like a fresh kill What a tourture not to be able to partake in it all.

Ah, ther is the lady who knows what I am and will get me out of this.

OOC: I hope this will be a good addition. If not tell me and I will twaek it a bit

 

[Naoko]

Raven

Raven watches the men lead a girl on a leash across the battlefield, strangely interested. She cuts them off on their way to the Dark Knight. "Where did you find this girl and where are you bringing her?"

 

[papillon24]

Atara looked up an evil look in them. Struggling even more tries to attack this blood covered warrior, the leash and collar holding her back and choaking her.

The men then grabbed her held her down to the ground and bound her hands together in front of her petit body.

THe smell of the fresh blood was making her mouth start to water for she haden't been fed in days. Blood would be so good.

It made her remember her first meal with the pack. She was 3 when she was left in the forrest to die. Being first born of a family allowed only one child was an instant curse. Her parents had wanted a boy take the land and work.
Shaking her head, freeing herself from these thoughts gazed back at the fellow warrior in front of her, just standing there watching her.

 

[Naoko]

Raven

Raven studied the girl. She then ordered the men to leave. "I'll take care of her," I coldly told them. I took hold of the leash, removing it. I then unbound her hands. "Now, if you obey and don't try anything stupid, I won't put these back on. But if you do, then there will be worse." I begin walking towards the castle, expecting the girl to follow me.

 

[Talon]

Kalindor

OOC: Woohoo, 2nd page already. And welcome to papillon.
We still need some 'good guy' characters as well.
IC:
He studied the new arrival with a wary eye, his dull grey Plate Mail armor finally washing clean of the gore of battle. He stuffed the sack of gold into the pouch on his belt, feeling the drag of his dark red cape as it was finally soaked in rainwater. He settled back onto his heels...and let his gaze wonder over the fallen castle. The Lady's Brother likely survived, and a troop of his men as well. His eyes fell upon the figure of the Dark Knight, because it was his move...

 

[papillon24]

Atara's escape attempt

"What's this,now restrainst?"

She decided to follow her basic instinct and run to the woods. At least that way she would have a change to be free angain, maybe even find the pack and runwith them.

Footsteps echoed behind her. She thought for surely she would be caught and killed since she was so weak from 2 yrs of being tied up and malnourished.

 

[Naoko]

Raven

I dove, landing on top of the girl, pushing her to the ground harshly. "Didn't I tell you to be good?" I got to my feet, holding the girl in my arms like a cradled baby. "I should kill you for even daring to run from me, but you might prove useful."
I continued walking toward the castle, expecting the girl in my arms to claw or bite me, but I decided that she would simply die if she did.
