Empires of Ashes

he laughs
"Good man"

"Have you found the prince? he fled the palace when we attacked"

"No but that's what I'm here to check for...scout reports indicate something happening within the palace after your attack, and after that no one entered or exited the building"

"Surround it, and send riders to the tunnel exit." *ket turns, and runs back towards the palace, yelling in kelthrovi* "IMMORTALS, BACK TO THE PALACE! FIND THE PRINCE!"

He sighs and follows along with Ket
once they reach the palace interior they find a bloodbath, with the corpses of the defenders, and their body parts, strewn across the floors and walls

*The Prince walks back and sits on a broken stall, his skin having grown deathly pale*

"hiding amongst the corpses of your men, cousin?!" *ket yells into the 'empty' halls*

There is no response

"Search the entire place, no stone unturned, you, you and you, with me to the tunnels" *he sets off at a stride into the dungeon*

Some of the men enter the throne room....and find the prince
dead
nailed to the throne with his own and his bodyguards' weapons

*ket eventually makes his way to the throne room after being told about this* "I wanted to do that myself. a shame"

*One of the Prince's bodyguards kneels next to him, and his expression quickly goes from curious to shocked. Before he follows the path the Prince took to where the surviving Cymriacs are collecting their dead*

*ket throws his spear at the corpse, impaling his cousins body, then turns on a heel and leaves* "Fuck"

Should note, when I say Prince, I mean Mordred.

Trajan:....who did this?

LI is still with mordred

*He looks like shit*

"by the looks, his own bodyguards."

Trajan:....they are among the dead

Ooc...... Oh, classic yogscast... After 93 episodes they finally get to leaving Postapocalitpia, to the moon... on the way up, they realise that they were on the one desolate shitty wasteland pixel of the otherwise lush, green planet... Then they cant find the moon... Then Duncan crashes into the moon...again... Then they realise that they havent brought a single drop of water with them... Aaaand Lewis dies in 2 minutes due to thirst...
Truly an inspiration for future space explorers

"then i dont know, and quite frankly i dont care."

".....there's some third party at work here"

"Any enemy of my enemy is my friend" *he claps him in the shoulder as he walks past, looking for LI and mordred*

*They're in the market square*

*he arrives at the square, having left his shield at the palace gates* "you two look like you've been having fun"

*Mordred is rather pale*

LI:........are you alright?

"Three hundred and fifty dead or wounded............."

she doesnt react, at least visibly

"Probably would have worse of I was in charge"

once again, no visible reaction

*He sighs and stands up before walking over to Brochael. She sees them begin to argue and before long Mordred has Brichael on the ground and is punching him repeatedly before being dragged off by a pair of Brochael's men*

she marches over there, shoving Brochael's men off of mordred

*They draw their swords whilst Brochael stands up and begins taunting Mordred in Cymraic before calling his men off*

LI had pulled out her klaive the instant they went for their swords

*Brochael laughs at them and leaves, his men following him*

"You can put it down now"

she does so before helping him up

"Thanks but you didn't need to do that"

"I wasn't going to allow you to be harmed"

"He's surrounded by 24000 Dracians and my remaining men, he wouldn't have done much"

she gives no visible response to this

"But thanks"

"Are you...alright?"

"Knuckles hurt, but I'm alright"

"Good"

"Hopefully I won't be here for another siege. I can't afford to lose that many men again"

Trajan: *behind him* is that so?

*He swears in Cymraic*
"Hello Uncle"
*Turns*

"I have a message for you. From your mother *hands it over*"

"Oh*Takes it* thank you"

he nods
