This Is the Day That We Die

You're not my partner Silver," said Delita putting his sword away. "What do you want from me?"

You're not my partner Silver," said Delita putting his sword away. "What do you want from me?"

"The Queen sent me to keep you in line. Unlike you I follow her orders."

"Don't make me kill you."

"Try."

Delita drew his sword again and Silver drew two knives from his person. Ready to attack at any moment they stood face to face. Just as they were about to attack the girl hit them both on top of the head. Silver was rubbing his head while Delita just gave her a nasty looked.

"You two are acting like kids."

"That gave you no right to hit us," Said Silver.

Delita just turned to look the other way to look at the moon. She's annoying

"You don't talk much do you," said the girl. "So you two are Delita and Silver uh, well my names Aren."

"Your point?" Silver demanded.

"I was here first, and was about to talk to Delita when you showed up so wait in line." She said frowning at him. He just laughed,

"Doesn't matter, he doesn't need a distraction." Silver said,

"And what you were doing wasn't a distraction, in fact it looked like you were going to kill him. I don't think this queen lady would like that to much." She replied,

"Shut up and run along, your mamma is probably looking for you." Silver snapped, Aren's knife was quickly in her left hand and her knuckle knives were on her right hand.

"No I think I know why he doesn't like you." SHe hissed, "You can easily get under someone's skin." She glanced to where the forest people had been. THey were gone. "Now, if you really want to kill this guy then let me ask him what he was doing watching them and then you can have him. I just wnat to know why he was watching them to see if he is a threat to my friends or not."



*Knuckle knives are on a metal peice (they dont really exist) that slide down on to someone's hand from beind a braclet, the braclet is as harmless as can be. They look like wolverins (sp) claws when tehy come out.*

Delita looked back, "Simply to see if peace could be reached between our countries."

"There, now can we continue or no?" Said Silver looking anxious.

"Shut up Silver, i on't have time for you right now. If they're going to battle I may as well help, so if you want me, kill me on the battle field." He took off at an alarming speed toward the forest people.

"Wait for me!" Yelled Aren running after him.

Luke

"Three Sea assassins behind us," The back scout from General Samark's regiment rode to the front and began to explain that there were two men and a girl racing towards us, taking very little effort to hide themselves.

"Okay. Arrow formation and keep it quiet. If they're hostile, shoot and if they want to talk, keep it quiet. Damn. We could lose our advantage against the Mountain people if we're not cautious," General Samark turned his horse around and we all followed suit, moving as quietly as we could until we were facing the opposite direction. I was dismounted with my bow drawn and an arrow notched when the three people came into sight.

The man in front faltered at the sight of all those arrows and spears aimed at him and his companions did te same before they all came to stand a few metres from us.

"State your business Looking to get killed?" General Cronan asked.

Aren looked amoungst the group for a familar face.

"Just to help," Aren smiled,

"Why would you help us?" A big man demanded,

"Cause I don't got nothin else to do and the forest people have always been nice to me. I don't know about htem." She said, 'Ugh, I've been smiling way to much.' she thought.

Delita sighed, "She's right. We wish for peace, not hostility. I am Delita Hyral of the Sea Kingdom and these are my allies Aren and Silver."

The man a top a horse just looked at them, anger in his eyes, "Leave before I have my men kill you."

Silver looked pissed, but Delita held him back, "Please don't be in such a rush. I have given my name, so it is common courtesy that you give yours."

Clenching his fist the General said, "I'll give you the count of three to leave. You mock me and expect my remorse? One, Two..." But before he said three Delita was on the horse's back behind the general.

"Please, I wish for no blood shed."

The General swiped his fist back at Delita, but missed. He had disappeared, but reappeared where he once was with the others. "Can we not come to peace?"

Before the General could answer an arch came foreward, "I am Luke of this regiments archers and i too wish for peace." A young women walked up to stand by his side.

Kenran walked casually through the paths when he heard voices nearby. Instantly becoming more cautious, he stepped forward to listen. He couldn't make out what they were saying, however, so he carefully moved forward to get a better look.

a twig snapped loudly under his feet.

Swearing under his breath, Kenran turned and ran.

"Sir, you would be wise to not anger him. We are here for peace, and when an assissian, especially a sea assissian says they want peace then you BETTER believe them." Ara said, the captian started to talk. "Now, if you will not agree to peace, as some of your people want anyway, then good luck defeting an enemy we know more about." Delita looked at her as if trying to figure out her game. THe corner's of his mouth came up slowly then went back down.

"Exactly, now what do you say?" He demanded.

Luke

"I say I want to hear my soldier's reasoning for considering an offer of peace. Please explain yourself Luke," General Cronan appeared to be losing patience but I spared him a smile and a slight bow.

"It's simple, sir. The people of the sea have a lot of money yes, and perhaps they're willing to pay for an alliance. Afterall, have we not had dealings with them in the past?"

"The boy is wise," General Samark sounded a touch surprised but then seemed to remember what he had already been told about me.

"Yes, yes, a valid point but we have other business to deal with first. You three may accompany us if you wish but if you betray us, my men will not hesitate to shoot you," General Cronan declared.

"And my men's spears will already be flying through the air," General Samark agreed with a short, quiet laugh. Throughout this, the sea assassins had remained quiet but now one spoke up.

"Fine. We will discuss terms when this battle is over."

"Funny that we talk of peace when we are about to slay some sleeping soldiers," Amanta commented as we once more turned and headed for the clearing.

"I suppose it is. Now stay here and be careful. I'll call for you if there's trouble," I patted Amanta's hand and then hurried to the front to take my place beside the other archers.

"Archers, remove the sentries now," General Cronan ordered and, a few seconds later, the sentries collapsed to the ground and then General Samark's men joined us and threw their speers into the camp to mingle with our arrows and strike with equal ferocity but a little less accuracy. When the Mountain soldiers began to wake and reach for their weapons, our foot soldiers and cavalry men charged, accompanied by the three sea assassins.

Amanta watched the battle with horrified eyes, she'd never been close enough to a battlefeild to see the carnage before. It made her stomach turn.

It was twenty minutes of torturous waiting and watching before somebody came up to her.

"We need your help."

Amanta followed the foot soldier onto the battle feild, she tried not to step on anyone or get in their way as she found herself in a more secluded part of the battle, where a forest soilder was laying.

"Hold on, I'll take care of you."

It didn't take her long to bandage up the wound and apply the necessary herbs to stop it from getting infected. It took a little longer to stitch it up, but when she was done the soilder was able to get back up and rejoin the battle.

Amanta ran around the edge trying not to be seen by anyone.

She had no choice at this point but to go out into the open so she ran. She tripped over a stone and landed on the ground.

When she turned around she saw a mountian soilder standing over her with a malicious grin on his face and his sword in hand, ready to strike. She screamed.

Ara heard a scream and spun around, she saw a forest girl laying on the ground a mountian fighter above her with a sword about to kill her. She pulled a knife out and threw it into the man's heart. She ran over and grabbed the sword before it landed on the girl. She tossed it aside and helped the girl up.

"You ok?" She asked, she nodded. "Where were you going, I'll keep you safe if ya need it. YOu don't look like the fighting type."

"I'm just trying to get behind the archers, I promised Luke I'd be careful...I guess I already broke that promise. I'll be fine now. Thank you."

The Sea assissan nodded and went back, Amanta started running again, keeping a better view on her footing this time. It wasn't long before she was safely out of the battle.

She leaned against the tree, breathing hard. Maybe battle wasn't for her. AT least when she was unprepaired for it.

Delita was cutting down all of the enemies in his path. Using his silent killing techniques he confused the enemy leaving them selves open.

He heard a scream and turned to see a young women about to be killed, but the mountain soldier was shot in the heart by a flying knife. He then saw that it was Aren who saved her.

After seeing her leave he used his Shadow Dance to appear next to Aren, "Everything alright?"

Aren turned to see Delita and was a little stunned, "Yeah, everything's fine."

He looked at her, she was breathing heavily, "You need a hand, It looks like you could use a break."

"Don't treat me like a kid!" She ran back off into battle with Delita close behind waring a smile.

Aren slew any mountian soldier that got in her way. THe madder she got the faster seh killed. Who did he think he was treatin her like she didn't know what she was doing. She kept slashing throats and stabbing hearts. She saw Delita fighting close by. 'He did that on purpose.' She thought, she frowned and kept going until all the ones around her were dead. She walked over to Delita.

"I think that's all of em." She said cleaning her knife. She hated hand to hand combat but she wasn't defensless when she fought that way.

"You did a good job for a kid." He smiled, she threw a punch at him but he was gone.

"YOU JERK OF A MAN." she screached. He showed back up smiling again.

"What was that?" He asked,

"I ain't no kid." She snapped,.

"How old are you?" He asked, she snapped her mouth shut. "Well?"

"nineteen," She lied.

*hope this fits his charactor*

(It fit him just fine. Is it my turn to post?)
