Of Beasts and Knights

*as they approach they can hear the sound of fighting*

"Are they starting without us?"

"Maybe..."

"They'd better not have!"

*It doesn’t take long to catch up with the limping Blackguard*
“I did not expect her to react so violently, but be assured you’ll both have all the privacy you need once I can defend myself.”

Vorstan: "Expect violence from rosa. She is the chosen warrior of the gods."

Evann: “I saw, quite the ‘blessing’ she’s been given”

Vorstan: "She may prove to be a mightier warrior than any of us."

Evann: “she may. But the attention of gods is rarely a good thing. It brings the attention of men and beasts”

Vorstan: "That is how the gods test their chosen."

Evann: “Maybe. But there will be collateral, more than likely us”

Vorstan: "perhaps you, yes."

Evann: “Me?” *He Shakes His head* “I’ll be fine once I’m able to fight”
OOC: My phone likes capitalising everything...

Vorstan: "Then we will both be fine"

Evann: “You’re rather confident”

Vorstan: "I have seen my own death. It was not here."

Evann: “Is it a good death?”

Vorstan: "With blade in hand as the world dies."

Evann: *Turns and gives Vorstan a quizzical look* “As the world dies?”

Vorstan: "All things come to an end. I will die as the world burns"

Evann: “Riiiiiiiiiight...I meanwhile plan to live forever”

Vorstan: "I was under the impression, that you worshiped morr."

Evann: “I aim high, besides the longer I live, the more I can help the people at home”

Vorstan: "The people at home? They are your enemy now."

Evann: “Only those that challenge me. Besides we’d have to get through most of the Empire to find my home” *His tone is rather nonchalant, which is a touch jarring since they’re talking about killing his kinsmen*

Vorstan: "We will reach it."

Evann: “If the Empire were to suddenly collapse, maybe”

"It will, and not without cause."

Evann: “and What will bring it down?”

"The wrath of the gods."

“Wrath of the gods? The gods have had millennia to crush us”

"Now they have the proper tools."

“The proper tools, to crush the empire and end the world...you do realise these are not good for our continued survival right?”

"Immortality awaits the gods chosen."

“And what if you’re not chosen?”

OOC: So we are going for end timesy stuff then?

"I already have been."

“Doesn’t mean you will be by time the end comes”

"Which is why I must continue."

*Evann nods*

"To live forever you too must gain favour with the gods."

“I will have to if I want immortality, but there are other ways to live forever”

"The curse of undeath, vampirism, necromancy. To name but a few."

“Those ways are cursed”

"And yet effective."

“They also require either a liche or a willing vampire”

OOC: I’m writing an intro for this Hive ship thing. It’ll be set about 2 years after they became gangers. So Max and Akira are rather attached to eachother by this point(and by this point Max is both emotionally and psychologically reliant on Akira, since he’ll be anything but stable until they kill his parents) Plus it’ll give them a few options for expansion giving us some narrative freedom.

So anything you think I should put into the intro paragraph?
(also is she a year older or younger than him? I forgot.)

Ooc: can't think of anything, and she's a year older I think.

Vorstan: "Necromancy is an art itself. One can become a litch."

OOC: Excellent!
I’m also trying my hand at drawing Max...Wanna see?

“Necromancy is the bane of my homeland, I won’t become what I vowed to fight”

"No power is forbidden. Magic was the bane of my tribe. I took it from the inishalati, and destroyed them with it. You could destroy the vampires you so hate."

“Given enough time I could maybe match a lesser necromancer, but I’ll never be able to stand against a vampire count”

*he gestures around him.* "you will not have to."

*there is a of commotion going on as rosa n heigen get closer*
