"I see no reason why our guide cannot continue to lead us, He is in full health, and we know who he is now, a trap would be most expected."

Vincent glanced at Avendia.

"At least you gave me a chance to not harm him," His face turned to Ken, "and I may hesitate to kill you, but I'll be sure to do something that will confuse your enraged self to the core." Vincent smiled as he spoke, he was still happy, relatively unharmed, and still his good looking self. Life was good. Xanath rose and shook his head.

Peeling off the heavy helmet and the remainder of the grandiose white armor, Xanath nodded to Vincent, and stood to a salute, his right hand balled in a fist upon his chest.

"You saved me from certain peril, I will follow you until released."

"Do not follow me because you are under an oath to do so, walk beside me, as a friend."

After much thinking, Xanath responded. "Then I shall join you, and I beg forgiveness for the deception. My name is not Xanath, it is Vyris Silvertongue."

Vincent nodded, and began to walk forward. He placed trust in Vyris, trust that was well-deserved. He was grateful to have earned another strong ally. One who knew the hardships of this land.

"We march forward now, to the exit." Vincent tried to be inspiring, he probably failed.

"Xanath is a cooler name," said Alarath. "If you don't mind, I'll keep calling you that."

He listened as Vincent gave his "inspiring" words. He shook his head. "That's not nearly dramatic enough. If you want to be inspiring, you have to say something about how we're near the end."

He turned his dagger around in his hand, pulled a thick cloth from one of his pockets, wrapped it around the knife, and put it into his pocket. It would worth as well as a sheath, though less comfortable.

"Aptly named, Silvertongue," Ken said as he put away his dagger. He removed the sheath from his underneath his pants legs to his waist for easier access. He looked around him, seeing nothing but the shifting sands, blowing in the soft wind.
"So, now that we know your identity as a lying bastard who leads trespassers into their doom, I'd like to expect you'll treat us with some respect. Can you show us the real way out?"
Ken had no respect for this Kamu, especially because his presence compromised the safety he wanted to keep these innocent people under. They might not trust him as much as they once had, especially after seeing that Red Eye had some control over his facilities, but he still kept himself to the vow he would protect these people.
"You prove yourself, Silvertongue, prove your loyalty, and then I might return the trust I had given you once before."

Suddenly, Ken felt something odd in the air. Something from the east, the direction the Kamu city lie.

"Vincent, I have not trusted these lands since we entered, but now more than ever do I feel unsafe. We should make haste."

Vincent smiled warmly.

"You should trust this Kamu as you trust me, he is clearly an honorable person, though his art may lie in deceit."

Vyris turned and began walking, he was leading them directly towards the exit, they should not come close enough to the Kamu city for them to attack. He was now a traitor of his own kind, but seeing as how he was meant to honor his vows, and honor his debt to people whom saved his life.

"Call me whatever you please."

Vincent followed close, keeping tabs on the Kamu, it wasn't a lack of trust, it was merely to ensure that no one else treated him wrongly.

"There is no honor in deceit," Avendia muttered under her breath.

*Her people did not like the Kamu, but they fought well. Perhaps this one might prove himself worthy of being called honorable... but for now he was a wild hunting cat on a leash. How the city-dwellers could be so trusting she did not know*

"Deciet is a craft just like doctoring, engineering or..." Alarath raised an eyebrow, "combat."

In Alarath's opinion, there was no honor in any of those. Honor was merely how you are percieved by man, and something which you like you call yourself when you do something you hope was nice.

"Regardless, we should be careful of him. Just because we caught him in one lie, doesn't mean that he can't make another."

He stretched his hands, they were drying out. That's what he got for going into the desert.

He spat onto his hands, and rubbed it in. That should take care of it for now.

((Muttered under her breath = to herself, not audible to others))

*Avendia stopped and stared at a marking on a rock in front of her. Her eyes were somewhat wide, as if she recognized the marking*

"I know where we are. A band of my villagers were here long ago when we made war on the Kamu. A few day's travel will get me to the edge of my territory... at least the way I can travel... perhaps faster with what I have learned."

*She looked at the others*

"My people must be warned of the danger that Red Eye poses to them. We can help keep them off of your trail so you might get to safety. You go on, I am sure the Kamu can lead you out of here alive... I however, must go alone and warn my people."

*Glancing at the stick in her hand she then looked at the rock again, placing her hand upon it and calling to it's spirit. The rock spirit answered, and Avendia asked the rock if it would permit her to travel through it to a rock with a simular marking that stood in the middle of her village. For a few moments the spirit was silent, then an answer came: yes, but it would drain her energy to the point of exhaustion. Avendia nodded and looked at the others*

"Well? Don't just stand there, get moving! And Alarath, take this... I am sure that the Kamu can tell you what they do. Fairwell, my friends. May your journey prove successful."

*Avendia tossed Alarath her medicine bag and then told the rock spirit she was ready to go. Suddenly she was gone, collapsing on the ground in front of her fellow Animus thousands of miles away*

OOC: Alright, Elara. PM me when you want back in. We'll talk. Next time, gang, lemme know ahead of time about this so we can talk about it.

BIC: Ken sighed as Avendia took off, and he tried to plan a course of action in his head. He knew it could be hours before she returned, and the group was going tired.

"Alright, we'll make camp here. We can wait for her till morning, but any longer and we've overstayed any welcome we have."


So, the group made camp, and by nightfall, they had composed themselves a decent camp.

Ken nominated himself to stand watch, and so he sat beside the fire, the dancing embers and quiet breaths of his sleeping companions to keep him company.

For a good long while, nothing eventful happened. But at some point in the evening, Ken began to fill with dread. He heard strange rustling, and his eyes strained to look beyond the light of the fire. He unsheathed his dagger and crouched down, holding his breath in and absorbing every minuscule sound about him.

They were surrounded.

Ken began to feel a cold sweat drip down his body. He breathed in deep to ready a call to arms that would stir the others awake. But, he'd be hard pressed to keep all the enemies in order. His only hope for the group was to throw himself into the enemy and make them focus on him.

He bent low, breathing deep. His eyes trained upon one single moving shadow amongst the many he could make out. He slowly reached back and dipped his dagger in the flames, shaking it up ever so slightly.

"HYAAAH!" Ken roared, loud enough to wake almost all of the sleepers as he lept high into the air and pounced upon a target, feeling the soft yet strong armor of his opponent. This was a Kamu. Ken took no time to spare his target. He pushed the Kamu onto the ground and stabbed with all his might, piercing the armor. He growled and reached over for the Kamu's spear and turned, surrounded by Kamu, dimly lit by the fire in the background. He saw Kamu heading towards the others and he acted on instinct, leaping off a nearby Kamu and chucking the spear he had stolen into the ones nearby his teammates. He landed nearby and ripped it out, pointing it at the other Kamu.

He prayed to the heavens that he'd given them enough time, for Kamu began to descend upon where he stood, and without his magic, and in these unfavorable conditions of dim light and ambush, he feared the outcome.

Vincent awoke from his light sleep when Ken shouted. He rushed to arms quickly, activating his arm-blade. He threw himself into a crowd, slashing wildly, yet calculated. Disarming the enemies he came in contact with, or striking them dead in a swift slash. Vincent moved quickly, never staying in one place for long. And though he missed most of the time, his foes missed all of the time.

A Kamu dove for Ken, aiming true with a spear, aiming to hit Ken in the heart, and almost succeeding, until another spear slammed into the chest of the oncoming Kamu, and impaled him outright. Vyris stood before Ken, knocking several of his former brethren away. Then turned to meet eyes with Ken. Vyris spun and clubbed a kamu in the head with his fist. He hoped he had earned some trust by now.

Alarath awoke tiredly, until suddenly he realized what he was hearing. The sounds of battle, outside of the tent. This was his second night since joining up against Red Eye, and neither of them had been peaceful. Couldn't this desert just let him have some freaking rest?

He drew his dagger out of his pocket, and sat up. He stood up quickly, the blood rushing to his head from lying on the ground for several hours. He recovered just fast enough to stab a nearby Kamu warrior in the stomach, and them kick him backwards.

Suddenly he felt a large pain on the side of his head, and he lost consciousness.

At least it would be peaceful, rather than full of the chaos of constant battle.

Alexis was lying down face up right near the door, while everyone else scrambled. She was feigning. The sheets were over her face, and it looked as though she didn't care at all the entire time, remaining asleep. She could hear heavy breathing, and she instantly raised her arm, and an eruption of gunpowder and smoke resounded through her sheets, as the Kamu reeled backwards and fell over, dead from a gunshot in the neck. She then got up, and joined the others in the fight.

Bria awoke suddenly, and knew what had happened. Everyone was fighting. If everyone was fighting, then who would protect that injured woman who laid upon the ground, unable to do anything to help? Bria felt it was her duty to make sure no harm came to this survivor, and stood by her, ready for any Kamu that came near.

For several minutes the team fought long and hard to keep themselves alive, and it seemed the battle was theirs. A leading Kamu blew his horn and the natives disappeared into the darkness, just as they had come.

Ken walked over to the rock he had kept watch on and sat, catching his breath.

"Is everyone ok?"

His eyes glanced around. Vyris and Vincent had held themselves up well, and he saw the females all in the tent. The only unaccounted one was Alarath.

"Alarath?!"

Ken looked around the area, and a deep panic settled when he found the dagger he had given Alarath mixed among some of the Kamu corpses.

"They took Alarath! We have to go save him!"

Vyris turned to him questioningly.

"I understand our plight, but should we not wait till morning so the others may compose themselves and we may follow their tracks better?"

Ken exploded. "No! We have to go now! Everyone, grab what you can and let's go! We leave no one behind!"




A single Kamu jogged amongst the rest of his battalion with a grin plastered on his armored face. Unconscious hanging over his shoulder was one of the outsiders. The Elders would be most pleased with this, yes they would. Perhaps they would let him face the Trials to become a Sandspear! He was giddy from the prospect.

The thin Terran stirred for a moment, but did not wake. Oh, what the Fates had in store for him.

Alexis pondered for a brief moment. Yes, she was perturbed over the fact that Alarath had been abducted, but she thought rationally.

"I'm gonna hafta go ahead and disagree with ya on that one. We'd be risking all our lives to save one person. If we all die, everyone's gonna suffer. But if we move on ahead and achieve our goals, then his sacrifice wouldn't be in vain. Think about, Ken; if you were in Alarath's place, wouldn't you want the same?"

Bria wasn't too surprised with Alexis's decision, even though she was formally against it. She decided to keep her mouth shut and let Ken handle it.

"Ken, going after him now will just kill the rest of us, I'm sure they are awaiting an ambush. Let us wait a little while, try and deceive them if possible. We must do this as gracefully as possible, or we may be taken as well."

Vincent didn't like going against people,. especially Ken, he usually knew what was best. He usually acted more calmly than this. But it seems his emotions are still raging from the serum he was given a few hours ago.

Xanath stood by Vincent's side, nodding.

"There is no gaurentee, but we may be able to sneak a few of us into the camp tomorrow. I will not kill my own kind without good reason. But I will not mind showing you all into the camp."

Ken grew mildly agitated, but after a moment of soul searching, he figured out the best path . He thought aloud as he went through the process, establishing the plan.

"Alright, here's what we'll do. Obviously, they wanted one of us for a reason, and all logic would state that they want Alarath for something. So they won't kill him, as least not tonight or tomorrow. We'll wait outside the camp as Vyris learns where they are holding Alarath, and we rescue him."

Alarath awakened groggily.

He looked around, and suddenly what happened came to him. He had been knocked in the head in the middle of a kamu attack. He hadn't been knocked hard, and he could remember everything up to losing consciousness. Good, no concussion, and he doubted he had recieved any major damage.

He looked at himself, he was sitting in a chair, tied up. It seemed the Kamu had chosen to capture him, rather than kill him. Good, he had a mild chance of escape.

He felt a slight chill to his feet, and looked down. His ankles were in a pool of water, covering up to his ankles. They were wrinkled up with moisture, that wasn't too healthy.

The water didn't look clean either. It was dusty, with small bits of dirt in it. This didn't look like ti was a nice place.

"If you plan to do anything with me, get it over with!" he shouted. "I'm feeling bored, and I don't like boredom!"

OOC: Sorry for the delay, school work and vacations have kept me away.

As dawn broke, Ken was awake and ready. He fastened two Kamu spears to his back using slings from the natives' corpses and had his daggers sheathed at his waist. No electricity meant melee prowess would be needed.

The group readied itself and began moving towards the city, with Vyris Silvertoungue leading the way.




Within the moldy, damp room Alarath was located, no light breached the walls, save the torch against the side walls. Alarath was asleep when the Kamu taskmaster, the vicious Sandspray walked in. He drew a whip and cracked it on Alarath's chest, wakening him horrifically.

Alarath looked the Kamu in the eye, his eyes filling with defiance. Suddenly he smirked. "You forgot to say please," he said.

Now they were trying to interrogate him. "As I recall, you attacked first," Aralath said. "You tried to lure us into your territory, and then accuse us of trying to fight you?"

He shook his head. "It just sounds a bit stupid to me."

Sandspray was not known for his intelligence. He was known for his brutality. For his insolence, Alarath was treated to three jagged claws searing across his right cheek. Sandspray growled menacingly, taunting the man with the claws.

Alarath's head was knocked sideway with the force, and he felt a for pain on his cheek. He cursed, and quickly sent a line through his brain, one that he had memorized, and told most of his patients as a doctor.

"It isn't my choice to feel pain, but it is my choice about how I respond to it." Alarath muttered to himself. The pain was numbed, and he calmed himself.

"Maybe you should learn about cleanliness before we get to manners," Alarath said.

Alarath always went through a stage of sarcasm, anger, and insults when in pain. It helped him fight it, and distracted him from his problems.
