Unknown Nothingness

"Calm down, Silver. Raven did say that if you weren't prepared for war you should leave.", Artemis said, trying to recollect herself. She knew Raven didn't need protecting but, she still felt compelled to say something.

"Right, and I'm still here. You guys were arguing about 'fair shares' anyway, so what does it matter?" Silver argued. He had his reasons to be there, and he was going to fight for them, but why get involved when you're not needed?

"So you show bravery... Excellent. With that alone you already top most of the soldiers I have." (Meaning the NPC soldiers that no ones controlling.) "Its a 2 day march from here, so be prepared to walk for a long while. We camp in 10 hours."

Gil put a hand to his head, preparing himself to endure the trip. He sighed once and then went to stand beside Artemis and Raven. As he did, a thought occured to him. He remained silent though.

Artemis listened to Raven's orders, but didn't react in any specific way. She really wouldn't mind walking for a few days. Though, she questioned how pleasant the company she was with would be over the next two days.

Aeria flapped her wings, preferring to make at least part of the trip by air. Acantha walked below her, arms folded, and glanced up at her once in a while. The stinging nettle seeds she had "unsprouted," returning them to their small and compact form before tucking them into her braids again. The Featherite glanced at her, noticed the odd look on her face, and landed next to her. "Is there something wrong?" she asked cordially.
The Demon sighed. "No, but I just can't help but feel a little jealous of you."
Aeria was surprised. "Why? You fight so well. I start feeling guilty if I kill someone, so I tend to stay out of the way, as you probably saw me do. If either of us should be jealous, it would be me." She flushed a little, remember how other Featherites had teased her for her pacifist ways.
Acantha laughed. "You have a point, but eventually, if you fight enough, you might get over it." She pointed at the other girl's wings. "But no matter how I try, I'll never be able to fly like you do. It's something I dream about quite often, being able to fly..." Aeria had nothing to say to that.

After a few more hours of walking, The sun began to set.

Raven stopped and nodded to the group.

"We'll camp here. Troops, set up tents."

The group of soldiers that no ones really controlling began setting up tents. There were only enough for 2 people to a tent.

"Don't worry about roommates. Just look for an empty tent and sleep in it. I'll have first watch. Who volunteers for the next?"

Artemis stepped into the nearest tent and sat down. She was not willing to take the next watch. The ground was hard, but she didn't mind it anymore. Laying down on her side, she managed to fall into a fitful sleep. Whoever became her tent mate was irrelevant to her.

Gil stepped up beside Raven. "I'll do it.", he said, smiling. The trip had done nothing to put him in any bad spirits and had not tired him much. He glanced over at the tent Artemis had chosen and decided he would stay there until he was needed.

Raven nodded to Gil.

"I'll wake you when I'm done."

He turned his back, looking down the road.

A certain pair of eyes was watching them from the shadows.

(Side note: Prexus' completed profile is on Pg.3 of the UN Discussion Thread. Oh, and don't kill him. He's going to become one of my characters.)

Artemis turned over in her sleep, subconsciously trying to find a more comfortable sleeping position. But, the rough terrain on which she slept offered no such thing.

Gil nodded and walked in the direction of Artemis' tent, intent on getting a little rest before taking a shift.

<< A Few Hours Later >>

Prexus was facing his men, speaking in a hushed tone. "Surround the camp and ambush it. Be sure to leave the Rebel leaders alive. Harmed is fine, but they must be alive. The Master has special plans for them himself." His men nodded and proceeded to surround the camp.

Raven was sitting in a tree, having been watching the camp. He noticed the arrival. He ignited a fireball, and tossed it into the camp. There was an explosion, loud enough to wake up the group as Prexus' group arrived. He hopped out of the tree and charged up fireballs.

There was a flash of light, and the tree that Raven was sitting in turned in to Lash. "Must we fight again? I blieve enough blood has shed...but to save those who shall save us from the scarlet crusade, I will fight." he struck a martial arts stance that looked more like Tai Chi then anything else.

Artemis was instantly awake due to the insueing commotion going on outside the tent. She scrambled to her feet and ran out of the tent, hand on the hilt of her sword. Registering the situation, she unsheathed her blade and went to fight the nearest SC soldier.

Gil duplicated Artemis' actions until they were outside of the tent. He didn't immediately rush to fight the soldiers, but instead tried to discern whether the others were safe, injured, or worse.

Prexus didn't let any of his men's fatalities slow him down. He weaved his way through the camp, eyes intently searching for any of the Rebel leaders. His instincts sensed someone watching him from the outter edge of the massacre, but who could it have been...?

Aeria was startled by the blast of Raven's fireball. She stuck her head outside the tent opening and barely missed getting hit in the face with a spear. Hurriedly, she withdrew back into the tent and groped for her bow. Her wings made it a bit hard to maneuver in the narrow space. Acantha, her tent partner, sighed and clambered out of the cloth shelter. The instant she was outside, she shapeshifted into a black rattlesnake. Despite the change in shape, she retained her sharp eyesight. The demon slithered into the shadows, where she struck out with her venemous fangs at leisure whenever a SC soldier passed by.

The Featherite, meanwhile, had finally located her bow and quiver. Drawing an arrow, she exploded from the entrance, conveniently knocking the tent onto a soldier. Not as far up as she would have liked, but not wanting to get too far away (her night vision wasn't as accomplished as Acantha's), she began loosing arrows once more. "I better make some more arrows after this," she thought as she took aim at Prexus's back. She let loose the string. Fortunately for him, the arrow had a crooked feather and lodged instead in a tree next to his shoulder. "...Drat," Aeria muttered, flying out of the way.

2 kunai came flying out of the forest, aimed for Prexus's head.

His ears twitched as he heard the wind as the shurikens flew straight at him. He quickly turned to the side, the kunai barely missing.

Yektai fell from one of the trees, his Katana in hand. He was wearing Ninja attire, much similar to <a href='http://www.armchairempire.com/images/fe ... yabusa.jpg' target='_blank'>Ryu Hayabusa</a> from Ninja Gaiden. He held his katana in a defensive position.

"Vigilant as ever, Prexus."

Prexus turned and faced the ninja, faltering only a slight moment. The heavy metal collar about his neck began oozing with a black darkness.

"I should have figured you'd show up. You always seem to find me.", he replied.

"Prexus, what has he done to you? Don't you remember who I am?", Yektai asked, then saw the oozing collar. "That..."

"No, I don't know you. You're merely a hinderance that must be dealt with.", Prexus replied, drawing his blade and charging at Yektai.
