The Ruin's Secrets

eldEr · 2010-06-30T19:32:49Z

Antalina... A country set in medieval times, bordering four other countries. Pansha, Gustora, Chilene and Tusalana. It is the second smallest next to Gustora, but its army is well-known far beyond the borders of the five countries. There are also many creatures here, including dragons, dwarves, nymphs and yes, even the odd unicorn. But despite all its beauty, there is a horrible plot affot. King Corran's advisor, Temphas, has claimed that Gustora is waging war on Antalina. The king agrees to send over three quardrs of his army to there to fight. How he was convinced, nobody could say. Admist it all, one of the fourteen generals of Antalina, General Torreal, has uncovered that it's much worse than war, and that Temphas isn't a friend. He's leading the soldiers into a deathtrap. Gustora and Pansha have a secret alliance, and Temphas is in on this alliance. He's leading the ment there to be either slaughtered or sold as slaves to the other two countries. He goes to King Corran, but the man refuses to believe that his most trusted friend would ever betray him. Torreal realizes that it's up to him... and the women. But women are not allowed to join the army, if they so much as leave their villages without proper authorization, they can be put to death! So Torreal has offered an incredible ammount of money to fifter of Antalina's best warriors. Or at least fifteen of the best who had stayed behind. He will train the women in secret, but the trainers are unaware of who they will be training. He has the women chosen, and is sent for them... The Girls... You wake up in the middle of what looks like the ruins of an old stone fortress. Torreal explain that he needs to train you to be warriors, and fast, though he won't tell you why. The only thing you're aware of is that there is something very evil afoot, and that you must go through with the training. The Trainers... You follow Torreal to his little camp, on his promises of large sums of money. You are shocked to find that he wants you to train women! The man must be out of his mind... RULES: Obviously all YWS rules apply Swearing is allowed, but please try keep it to a minimum Romance is allowed (in fact, I encourage it), but you know the drill there No godmodding Perfect characters are irritating and not allowed. Their weaknesses must be real and must affect the character in a fairly large way. Stubborness and temper alone are not a real weakness. We do need trainers, or we will have no guys. Make one of each if you want, but please, try to keep it as even as possible. For those of you that are insane (like me), 6 character max Slots: Trainers: -allmixedup -Isha -ninjacookiemonster -Chupatoasta -Jagged -Greed Trainees: -allmixedup -Isha -ninjacookiemonster -sillyducky -Chupatoasta -Fox And I will play General Torreal!

Theon
Theon had never been keen on Torreal: the man might have been good, but he was always a touch too secretive, with always that look that said he knew something you didn’t that got on one’s nerves very, very quickly.

Theon didn’t like him. And the longer he was looking at the crowd of girls spread across the row, the stronger his dislike grew. Not only was the man absolutely stark raving mad, he was flaunting the kingdom’s laws with intolerable cockiness, was dragging the rest of them down with him, and didn’t even have the decency to tell them why exactly he was doing it.

Not for the first time, he considered leaving, saddling his horse and returning to the capital, back to the court, and warning the king about what Torreal was doing. The promised gold was nothing to him; what stopped him was pride: backing out now would mean, in some way or another, letting Torreal score a point.

Obviously, that wasn’t going to happen.

So here he was, glowering at everything that had the bad luck of falling under his eyes and ignoring the food. That left him sweeping his gaze over those assembled and wrinkling his nose at them, for the most part. The various animals lurking around did spark some interest, but mostly had him wishing he’d brought a couple of his hounds with him. Maybe the wolf would do, but he suspected it wouldn’t be anything like what he was used to. How on earth those chits had ever gotten their hands on those beasts he had no idea.

And two of the men, apparently, were going to fight. Oh joy. He thought he’d left the barracks and their rowdiness a long time ago. No such luck.

He raised his head a bit higher when one of the men – Marcus, was it? – called the girls out. Finally, they might have some time to actually talk. Maybe the old codger would finally tell them what he was expecting.

“About time,” he muttered, not caring if the people around him could hear. He’d made his dislike of the situation clear, and he wasn’t going to stop anytime soon.

Theon was almost curious. The way he might have been curious to see a devastated battlefield: in a detached, half-horrified fashion.

[[sorry for the lateness. internet being stupid. thankfully Theon's enough of an arrogant idiot that we can just pass him off as having been ignoring and staring disdainfully at everyone from the start =P]]
