Empires of Ashes

*She is escorted back to the dock*

after a while, princess apolonia returns to her ship in the cymrai dock, boarding the ship

The princess sees a fleet in the distance , it was the fleet of the crusaders at in her sight she recognizes the flag and banners of the headmasters daughter.

Apolonia: Helmsman, take us in that direction. we're leaving. 
*the mighty vessel turns, heading towards said fleet*

The crusaders in the flag ship begin to connect the boats preparing for them to board for a meeting her old friend Vinera walks out taking off her helmet , her short black hair and emerald eyes looking at the princess bowing at her in greeting.

the ship pulls up alongside Vinera's flagship

*In the distance, elements of the Cymraic navy begin to amass*
(Mostly galleys and ships with rams)

vinera boards the princesses ship naming someone in charge of the fleet during her meeting ,kneeling before the princess "Your majesty."

"My lady" she smiles "It went as expected. We're at war."

She gets up looking her in the eyes "I'm sorry we are late your majesty we had issues " she looks past her noticing the other ships "looks like we have more company."

"Indeed. Have your ships regroup with the main fleet. We need to plan."

She nods waving to her luitenant to regroup "I'll stay here your majesty,"

"Very well. Helmsman, back to the main fleet. I'll be in my quarters. Join me if you'd like"

"I would love that " she says walking to her quarters.

Apolonia goes first, sitting down in her chair beside the planning table

OOC: "Ivan’s closest comparison is with Steven Seagal in Under Siege. Serving as a cook for the 91st Tank Regiment of the Red Army, Ivan was cooking dinner one day in August 1941. At that point, he noticed a German tank which had stalled in reach of the field kitchen.Grabbing a rifle and an axe, Ivan waited for the crew to start to exit the tank, presumably in an attempt to get it moving, before charging. The crew, seeing an angry axe-wielding Soviet running for them, quickly got back into the tank. When the tank began to fire its machine gun, Pavlovich climbed onto the tank and bent the machine gun barrel with his axe. He then threw a piece of tarpaulin over the observation hole and loudly ordered his imaginary comrades to pass him an imaginary grenade, banging on the tank’s armor until the four man crew surrendered to what they presumably thought was the entire Red Army."


....russians

Vinera walks into her quarters with her sitting next to her "How have you been your majesty?"

"Good enough. This land truly is quite the sight...shame it must burn"

"Yeah that is a shame , did you receive my letters?" she asked looking onto the land

"I did, of course I did"

"I'm glad you did , the church is allowing us after we are done here."

"Well, that may have to wait a while"

"Yeah,I can garuntee you'll make it back " she said with a smile

"Well, you've managed it so far"

"Thank you your Majesty" she looks around "remember the days we'd spar?"

"I doubt we'll have time for that for a while"

"There's always time to train , may I grab something to drink your Majesty?"

Ket'verahi: *Leans on the throne.* "It's strange isn't it? We just took the centre of civilization itself, its still sinking in."

Apolonia: go ahead

Trajan: indeed.....legend has it my people's ancestors came from here

Ket'verahi: "As did mine, the birthplace of the stracian empire."

OOC: Boop

OOC: BUSHY! my old compadre how are you

Trajan: indeed...their empire spanned all of known creation

OOC: I'm good thanks, you?

Ket: "Indeed... the world itself started here."

OOC: Im doing goooood

Trajan: and the dragons

Ket: "Indeed... unfortunate that they're dead."

"One of the great mysteries of our world."

Ket: "Well, we're a bit busy saving it to figure out the world's mysteries."

Trajan: Admittedly true.

Ket: "More important to stop the end of all our civilizations to some random lot of horse bound righteous curs."

Trajan: had any thoughts on that front by the way?

She gets up to get water bringing the princess a glass as well " will you be joining us on the ground?"

"Depends if we can defeat their navy"

" with our combined forces , that wouldn't be an issue."

"Don't get overconfident"

"Understood , so do you know what we are up against?"

"I have an idea. they appear technologycally inferior, not yet having guns of any kind"

*my clerics can throw firebombs at them if they get to close."

"Useful. But getting close is the last thing we want. we have the advantage at range with our cannons. So we use that advantage."

"It's a worst case scenario"
