Rogue Wars (closed/started)

Serena

After a long moment, the Phoenix told me to follow her. Now this was an interesting development. Matins actually spoke up at this point.

"Are you actually in trouble this time?"

"I don't think so. SHe probably just would have let me have it right then and there.

I was hoping my reasoning was sound. Eventually the woman turned to me again.

"Is it true that your brother has joined the shepards?"

I stiffened. This wasn't exactly a secret. In fact, the whole camp probably knew about it. I had not reacted well to Sebastians announcement. There was a great deal of yelling involved.

"I suppose it is," I said, warily. "I haven't heard back from him yet, but that was his plan. Why?"

Reva Airdronac

There was that question again. Why. I got that question when I started the army, and every day since. Everyone was always questioning my motives, wondering why I was working to accomplish something. I had never liked explaining myself to people, telling them why I did things.

Reva, she does deserve to know this one- it's her brother you're asking about. Darsor whispered, voice gentle. Just tell her the truth, I'm sure she'd be willing to help.

I turned around and gestured to the camp. "Look around- tell me. Do you see what's wrong here? What shouldn't be here, but is?"

"Children, there are children everywhere." She responded with a touch of frustration.

"Exactly. I'm leading this army to war. Yes, right now we are fairly small but our numbers are growing day by day and children should not be here when the fighting starts. The women and children need to be taken somewhere safe, and the Shepherds know how to do that."

Serena

I thought about this for a moment, putting to gether the peices of the convesation.

"My brother...He can always find me. We can find eachother, I mean. If you want to find the shepards and wark something out with them, then its good that he's probably with them. Isn't it?"

I smiled. This little run in was turning out quite differently than I thought it would. If I was right, I might get a chance to see my brother again, as well as actually do something for the movement.

Two birds with one stone. Fantastic.

Reva Airdronac

I nodded. That was good to know, if they could always find each other, then I didn't have to worry about hunting down the Shepherds, and she wold very easily be able to fill the role I needed her in. "That is. It makes this much easier."

Master, writing a letter won't just do the job. You know that you need to meet this Dead Man Walking to negotiate properly. You cannot send women and children with a man you have never met before. Kitty reminded me.

She also needs to speak to the heads of families about this, she may be commander, but it's their loved ones she's dealing with. Darsor responded cooly, already planning a course of action.

Yes, I know that, but surely they'll understand that it's for their own safety. I mean, honestly. They-

"Serena?" I asked, cutting both my Mirrors off.

Spoiler

Feeble attempt at preventing the sb from dying...

I sat up abruptly, tired of waiting around all day. A magical being wasn't going to appear before my very eyes and show me the way towards the light, so I might as well suck it up and do something with my time.

I made my way down the hill, nimbly jumping down from rock to rock with Vern trailing behind me, bemused.

Finally gaining enough courage to enter the camp, the first thing that caught my eyes was the Dancing Dragon Inn. Growing up with a fascination of dragons lured me towards the place and before I knew it, I pushed open the door to see it filled with people...rogues in fact.

Ryder / With Alia


Ryder took the girls hand. Shaking it gently,

"Ryder. I'm looking for the Rampart Leader." he said quietly.

She gave him a cold look, the Rampart leader must not be very popular - he thought to himself.

I've heard tell that The Phoenix is a strong rogue Ryder, one doesn't become strong by making friends easily...

"You're looking for Reva then." she said.

Ryder hadn't heard the name before, but he assumed she was talking about the Phoenix.

"Yes. Could you take me to her?" he asked.

Alia - Dancing Dragon Inn - With Ryder

I shake Ryder's hand and introduce myself back. "Alia."

Reva? I don't like this, Alia. You're going in the oppsoite direction - Miat chimes.

Oh, shush, I think back.

"Uh, I'm not quite sure where she might be, actually." I say. "Sorry."

Another girl walks into the tavern, looking around.

Hm. She might know - Miat muses.

"Why don't you try asking her?" I nod to her for Ryder.

Ryder / Dancing Dragon / With Alia

Maybe she will know Ryder, it's better to give it a try...

Ryder thanked Alia,

"The help was much appreciated." he said. Turning to the girl who had just walked in.
