Commanders [PG-13] [Accepting, Started]

[John A. Zoidberg]

Daelam nodded and rubbed his eyes.

He walked toward the inn.

He was beyond relieved when he laid down on the nice, soft bed.

[Lord of Chaos]

Richard walked the walls keeping his eyes on the horizon

he looked on at thehorizon keeping a sharp eye out for anything

Richard knew if they were going to retalleate it would be soon and they would hit them hard

[John A. Zoidberg]

Kaeluas walked in the path of Armond.

Despite his usual personality, Kaeluas said, "So, are we assaulting Seak tonight, or do you have a different plan that I should hear about?"

Kaeluas looked away and scratched his head.

[Lord of Chaos]

"Richard and the new general are at Seak. The new one deafeted Marchias with little help from Richard so no doubt he is good."

Armond thought quietly to himself

"But if we divide them, you could take the new general down and I would draw The Devil's Claymore to me and hold him till you have taken out the new general."

Armond smiled thinking of the battle and the fight between him and Richard

[John A. Zoidberg]

Kaeluas nodded.

"A good plan indeed, Armond, a good plan indeed," he said.

Kaelus found his most elite troops and told them to train the weaker ones.

"So, Armond, we kill the Devil's Claymore tonight?"

[Lord of Chaos]

Armond nodded

"I have been waiting for this moment for a long time."

Armond looked in the direction of Seak

"We march at night fall, undercover of darkness."

Armon grinned evilly as he looked towards Seak

[.:Blu:.]

Riohs had helped fought against the smaller units of the Draem army. It wasn't even close to a challenge for him. Riohs simply stayed at the inn and looked out into the sky. ".... Twenty-nine days...." Riohs uttered as he looked at his palm. Riohs then clenched his palm tightly. "What will I do after?.... Just another wanderer...." Riohs said to himself. Riohs walked down the stairs to get a drink from the inn's pub. Riohs sat there, drinking and contemplating on the battle. ".... They're now just memories.... to their love ones.... Humph.... Pity...." Riohs uttered as he took a drink.

[John A. Zoidberg]

Daelam woke in the middle of the night with a strong thirst.

He decided to go down to the pub.

"Oh, hello Riohs," he said, approaching his soldier at the pub, "What are you doing here?"

[.:Blu:.]

Riohs looked at Daelam when he heard him calling his name, Riohs then turned his head back around and kept his eyes down. His face showing a saddened expression. ".... Just a drink.... I also needed to contemplate a few things.... This war.... So many soldiers have lost their lives.... Their nothing but memories now. To their love ones, to everybody...." Riohs said. Riohs then looked at Daelam. "Tell me something general.... Do you think.... Do you think it's good to be a memory?" Riohs asked. This was a rare time where he actually seemed to be interested by a conversation, but it might be short-lived considering his personality.

[John A. Zoidberg]

Daelam sat down next to Riohs and sighed.

"I know too many memories..." he said, "Memories are honored, yes, but... was it worth death? Was it worth dying just so people would know your name?

My parents were murdered years ago... They are... a memory...

I wish they were more."

[.:Blu:.]

"I see...." Riohs responded then turned to face the front again. "Memory created by death.... We are all destined to be a memory.... One way or another...." Riohs said as he remembered his past.

 

[Flashback]

 

"What?! Sefra is dead?!" Riohs asked as he slammed his hands against the wall. "I can't believe it.... He was such a good soldier...." one soldier said. "The sacrafices he had made will not be vain...." another soldier said while taking off his helmet. Riohs' eyes were wide and wild. They shook wildly in disbelief. "(Is this what the war instills? Unpredictable death? Was? Had? They're talking about him as if he's just another past event.... Will this be my fate?)" Riohs thought to himself. "NO!" Riohs yelled. "What the- Riohs are you-" the soldier was interrupted by Riohs. "I won't have you talking about me like that! I'm not just a past memory!" Riohs yelled wildly and then ran away.

 

[Present]

 

"Humph.... So.... What is your purpose in life general.... What drives you to not be just a memory?...." Riohs asked.

[John A. Zoidberg]

"I'm not sure, Riohs," Daelam said, "When I first joined the army, it was to avenge my parents. Over time, I grew to realize things...

I am destined to be a memory, that's all I'll ever be.

I am not any higher than the men that have died on the field, they are higher than me...

They are... memories..."

[Lord of Chaos]

Richard stood on the wall near the gate looking out onto the horizon

he sighed and began to walk away when something cought his eye in the distance, he called to one of the archers who looked and saw nothing

"I must be seeing things then Im tired, but sound the alarm if you see any sign of enemy attack."

the archer nodded, and Richard walked slowly back to the inn

 

-meanwhile-

 

Armond's forces were hiding just out of sight range of the walls

"Richard you have locked yourself in the walls of the city and have no where to run to."

Armond grinned knowing Kaeluas and his men were on the other side of the city preparing to attack as well

[.:Blu:.]

"No.... I won't.... I won't be just another memory.... Fight it...." Riohs said with a slight nod. Riohs then stood up and looked at Daelam. "Twenty-nine days.... Use the time wisely...." Riohs said coldly as he walked off. "(What if it's true?.... When I die.... Will I be.... nothing more then a memory?.... In an endless sea of memories.... Will I too.... fade?....)" Riohs thought to himself. "Time won't stand still.... So I won't either...." Riohs said as he looked up at the moon.

[John A. Zoidberg]

"Riohs, wait!" Daelam yelled.

"Those men and women, they are memories, but you... you will die a hero. A savior... mark my word, you..."

Daelam suddenly quieted himself...

"You will change the fate of Lysenna forever."

 

Meanwhile, Kaeluas stood with his readied forces.

"Men... we attack tonight!"

The Ghost's Remnants cheered.

[.:Blu:.]

"A hero?...." Riohs asked quietly then gave a slight chuckle. "That's a laugh...." Riohs replied. "Me? Changing fate of Lysenna.... In my head maybe.... Face it Daelam, you and the other soldiers of Lysenna will be the ones that will be made into sculptures and paintings.... Me?.... I'm just a wanderer, living day by day without a meaning in life.... You have something that drives you forward.... To protect.... I'm just a puppet waiting to have my strings pulled.... You and the others can make your own destiny.... I can't make my own.... I can only search for one...." Riohs replied.

[John A. Zoidberg]

Daelam looked at the drink that was just placed in front of him.

"Riohs, from the day I was born, I was destined to die in war, destined to be a memory... you... you're different.

There's something special about you. Whether or not you believe me, you are a hero Riohs."

[Lord of Chaos]

Richard entered the inn

"There has been no sign of attack and Im begining to see things so Im going to take a rest."

Richard sat down and the inn keeper sat a drink in front of him "Its on the house." the inn keeper said with a grin

Richard took a drink from the glass

"But something isn't right."

Richard said looking at Daelam

"They should have attacked by now."

 

-meanwhile-

 

Armond mounted his steed

"Tonight we bring down the Devils Claymore, remember he is strong dont fight him head on you will shurely die."

Armond pulled his horse around and looked at the walls, then he dawned his helm and he chuckled as he thought of Richard's lifeless body falling to the ground after Armond had sank his blade deep into Richard's heart

Armond sent a quick horse men to tell Kaeluas to begin the attack

the horse men left staying out of sight of the wall as he rode to begin the assult on Seak

[John A. Zoidberg]

Kraeluas got news of the attack.

"Move," he said quietly.

The Ghost's Remnants quickly disappeared and were inside Seak within minutes.

They quickly assassinated 5 soldiers patrolling the city.

Kraeluas and his 3 most elite men approached their main target;

The inn.

[.:Blu:.]

"Is that so?.... Funny, I always thought heroes were the kind of people who'll be looked up to by others and have many comrades.... I have none of those.... Everyday I walk through the streets of Lysenna to see regular soldiers conversing with others.... Regular villagers looked up to them even if they aren't the best.... Face it.... I'm not a hero.... I'm just-" Riohs then saw as Richard walked in and talked about the predicted attack that didn't occured. "That does seem like a problem.... Make sure both of your troops are ready.... They might strike at any time.... If the troops are tired, they won't be able to fight...." Riohs said.

[John A. Zoidberg]

Suddenly, Kraeluas entered the pub.

He was cloaked.

Suddenly, at the very moment he was behind Daelam, he uncloaked himself.

He swung at Daelam.

Daelam fell to the ground, a large scar running from his right shoulder to the left side of his waist.

[Lord of Chaos]

Richard pulled the his claymore from his back and swung bringing the sword down hard and fast on Kraeluas

 

-meanwhile-

 

Armond made his move and charged the gates

alarms where sounded threw out the city as they saw the approaching force

Armond laughed as he reached the gates and went through them just as they were almost shut

"RICHARD YOUR MINE!!!!!!!"

Armond shouted loudly as he rushed to the inn

[John A. Zoidberg]

Kraeluas swiftly dodged Richards' attack and struck him in the back.

Then, he remembered Armond's intent.

Kraeluas cloaked himself once more and left to kill more helpless guards.

Daelam lay on the ground, injured. He was still breathing, but injured.

"A...are you okay?" Daelam said to Richard.

[Lord of Chaos]

OOc: this is all for tonight man Im getting off

 

Richard fell on to one knee

"I will be fine."

Richard grunted as he stood back to his feet anf rushed into the street yelling

at this time Armond now stood feet from the inn and seeing Richard run into the street Armond lept from his horse and stood before Richard

"It's been a long time old friend."

Armond said drawing his blade and prepared for the epic battle yet to come

[.:Blu:.]

((Hope you don't mind if I control a temporarily character for this triple epic battle XD))

 

Riohs quickly drew Somnus out and got ready for a strike when suddenly, a whip sword came crashing towards Riohs. Upon impact of the whip sword, Riohs flew back to the ground with his arm slashed. "Ugh.... I was careless...." Riohs said as he stood up from the ground holding onto his arm. "Hehe, that wasn't any fun. Why didn't you try to dodge at least? Sheesh, are these really the weaklings we have to deal with?" Dalin asked as his whip sword recoiled back and wrapped around his arm. Riohs shook off the pain and turned to Daelam and Richard. "Can you two fight?" Riohs asked.
