Holyknightsteve: Anyway, we have already seen the beginning of one part of a legend to come, the Trial of Remora completed by Frang and his slightly insane companion Traejin
Holyknightsteve: But now we leave the tropical jungles of the south and move towards the arctic north
Holyknightsteve: In these icy lands can be found quite possibly the root of the worlds evils: a metropolis by the name of Empire
Holyknightsteve: Empire, the main site of the sinister World Imperial Military is a dark place indeed
Holyknightsteve: Empire: Population 20,000,000 (a census hasnt been taken in almost 20 years however. it is thought to be 40-50 million by now) with a standing army of nearly 5 million
Holyknightsteve: The city is lives by martial law with the military controlling all commerce and social life
Holyknightsteve: Many of the people live in fear. Most have nothing to look forward too. Many of these have wishe dfor death on more than one occasion.
Holyknightsteve: Deep within this dark metropolis, we see on one of the many streets, 2 young men, both dressed in dirty but otherwise fairly well cared for clothes. Looking at these two sitting on the steps of an abandoned warehouse, no one would
Holyknightsteve: ever think they would someday change the world. For better or worse is all up to them... and so our tale begins...
Holyknightsteve: Lyle (bard): Sure would be nice to see the sun for once...
Raith Cloud: Yea...-=Folds his hands behind his head and leans back=- If only there was somewhere for us to go...
Holyknightsteve: Down the street bustle by many people, many with dreary looks on their faces as they go about their business.
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: Somewhere to go? that would be nice. Our.. "kind" just isn't wanted.
Holyknightsteve: Someone would then bump into Raith
Holyknightsteve: Man: Hey punk! Outta my way!
Holyknightsteve: He then continues on his way.
Raith Cloud: -=He would grit his teeth as he glared at that man=-
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: ...this sucks.
Raith Cloud: -=Then he would smirk to his friend as he pulled out a small ouch of gold=-
Raith Cloud: pouch*
Raith Cloud: Too easy...
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: Haha! And I wonder why no one wants us!
Holyknightsteve: He then slaps hands with Raith.
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: My friend, it may not be moral but I sure am glad you're good at what you do.
Holyknightsteve: Lyle gave a warm hearted smile and laughed.
Raith Cloud: Haha, hey, its as good a proffession as one can find in this city, and about as honorable as any of them as well.
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: Haha agreed. Most people dont like a good song nowadays.
Holyknightsteve: Lyle pulled out his old flute.
Raith Cloud: Yea...or are too damn stingy to pay..
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: How sad. Sure would be nice if people were still into music.
Raith Cloud: -=Sigh=- Yea...we need to get out of here man...the sooner the better...
Holyknightsteve: Lyle put the flute to his lips and played a rather sad melody.
Holyknightsteve: Many people that pass by and stare, not giving any sort of complimnetary motion or word.
Raith Cloud: -=He closed his eyes as he listened to the melody, it relaxed him, and he was glad for his companion's rare ability=-
Holyknightsteve: But then, a man in dark armor wearing a brown cloak passed by and dropped about 20 gil on the steps.
Holyknightsteve: he walked a bit past the steps and stopped.
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: Th-thank you sir!
Raith Cloud: -=Raith noticed this and his eyes opened slowly to look at the man=-
Holyknightsteve: Man in Dark armor: Tell me...
Holyknightsteve: He gave a side glance, not revealing any facial features due to the visor.
Holyknightsteve: Dark Armor: Do you believe in heaven and hell? The gods?
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: ...
Raith Cloud: -=He eyed the man strangely then=-
Holyknightsteve: Lyle only shivered. Something about this man frightened him.
Raith Cloud: Who can really tell in a place like this...so much misery that its doubtful that anyone believes in anything...
Holyknightsteve: Dark Armor: Indeed... but today... someone will become a believer in hell at least.
Holyknightsteve: the man then faded into the crowd.
Raith Cloud: -=He glanced over to his friend=- That...was weird.
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: Raith... I've never felt so... frightened.
Holyknightsteve: Lyle very cautiously leaned over and scooped up the cash.
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: ...seems ok.
Raith Cloud: -=Punches him in shoulder lightly=- Oh yea? What about that time you were gonna tell Lisa you liked her back in 7th grade? -=He says so with a laugh=-
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: Hey shut up! You certainly were'nt helping Mr. Obnoxious!
Holyknightsteve: Lyle then smiled and laughed a bit, forgetting about the knight.
Holyknightsteve: Lyle then sighed.
Raith Cloud: -=He was glad that he wasn't worried anymore, but he was right, something about that man...was wrong=-
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: I wish were that young again. i miss the orphanage.
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: We didn't have to scrape for food
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: We were so carefree.
Raith Cloud: Heh...
Holyknightsteve: The bustle continues as night begins to fall over Empire.
Raith Cloud: -=He would sigh=- I guess your right... -=He reminisced of Jade, and the way things used to be=-
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: I really do wonder how many people live here. These crowds never seem to die down.
Holyknightsteve: An Imperial MP emerged from the crowd.
Holyknightsteve: MP: I found you! You're gonna pay for all the shit you've pulled lately!
Raith Cloud: -=He blinked quickly then glanced at Lyle=-
Holyknightsteve: he drew his long sword.
Holyknightsteve: Lyle glanced back.
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: What did you do THIS time?
Raith Cloud: -=He whispered=- run on 3...
Raith Cloud: 3!!!!!
Holyknightsteve: MP: Enough! Surrender!
Holyknightsteve: Lyle follows after his friend.
Holyknightsteve: MP: Damn punks! Get back here!
Raith Cloud: -= runs the hell out of there going into the crowds by the market place=-
Holyknightsteve: Lyle unfortunately not as fast as Raith and is having trouble keeping up.
Holyknightsteve: Luckily, the Mp isnt gaining on him.
Raith Cloud: -=He would then turn quickly and duck into a back alley=-
Raith Cloud: -=He made sure to pull his friend inside as well when he came by=-
Holyknightsteve: The MP ran past the alley, distracted by the crowd.
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: Whew...
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: Thats the third time today!
Raith Cloud: Damn Police...always on my case...
Holyknightsteve: Lyle turns to his friend.
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: So what did you do THIS time?
Raith Cloud: I swear I payed for it!
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: ...again?
Raith Cloud: ...But I did this time.
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: What was it? That fancy man knife you got there?
Raith Cloud: Yes?
Holyknightsteve: Lyle rubs his face.
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: Oyyyee...
Holyknightsteve: ???: Excuse me kids...
Raith Cloud: Hey...relax, I'll bu... -=Turns to face the person that spoke=-
Holyknightsteve: Lyle slowly turned.
Holyknightsteve: Bandit: Would you mind handing over your wallets... now?
Holyknightsteve: He then brandished a dagger.
Holyknightsteve: Bandit: Yes? No?
Raith Cloud: Wow...thats a nice one...
Raith Cloud: -=Pulls out his dagger as well=-
Raith Cloud: Like mine?
Holyknightsteve: Bandit: Oooo I like yours better. Give it here now if you wanna save whats left of that ugly mug.
Holyknightsteve: Lyle whips out his flute again.
Holyknightsteve: Bandit: ... a flute? Whatcha gonna do? Hit me with it?
Raith Cloud: Oh no you did not just say that...
Holyknightsteve: Lyle smiled.
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: You could say that...
Holyknightsteve: YOUR FIRST FIGHT!!! AWW!!!
Raith Cloud: -=He took that momentary distraction to duck behind the bandit=-

Holyknightsteve: At the Inn...
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: ...so the giant says, thats not a tree. Thats my wife!

Raith Cloud: -=He walks in in a rather bad mood considering that they got away and made profits=-
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: Woo... tough crowd.
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: Oh Raith there you are.
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: You okay?
Raith Cloud: Yea...
Raith Cloud: But...
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: You sure don't look it but ok.
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: But?
Raith Cloud: Tommorow morning we start scouting the prison.
Raith Cloud: Some guy took the fall for us...
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: THE PRISON?!?! The same prisons you find all over Empire?!
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: Who hit you on the head THIS time?!
Raith Cloud: ...
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: Some guy? What are you talking about?!
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: ...not again.
Raith Cloud: I pickpocket the MP...
Holyknightsteve: Lyle sighed.
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: I shoulda figured...
Raith Cloud: and used some guy as a distraction.
Holyknightsteve: Lyle jumps off the small stage.
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: I see.
Raith Cloud: And all I have for it is an antitode...
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: But an Empire prison... Raith... I don't know if that's possible.
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: Look at us! We ain't exactly Paladins.
Raith Cloud: Well...It's worth a shot to take a look.
Raith Cloud: You think I don't realize that?!
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: We had trouble with a hobo! Let alone the Imperial army!
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: ...
Raith Cloud: -=He got that smirk on his face that signaled trouble=- Who said the're gonna see us?
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: Raith, you know I'll follow you. It's your call man.
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: They might not see you... but I'm a problem.
Raith Cloud: Hmm...
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: I'm not lucky nor am I nimble.
Holyknightsteve: Lyle touched the small cut on his face and grumbled.
Raith Cloud: -=Something in the tavern catches his eye, it was a decree, for a new entertainer=-
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: Eh?
Raith Cloud: -=He grabbed Lyle by the shoulder and dragged him over to it and tapped it twice=- Boom...
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: ...uh uh...
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: This ain't gonna work man!
Holyknightsteve: Lyle shivers.
Raith Cloud: -=Sure it will bro...all you gotta do is perform, I'll take care of the rest=-
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: If I screw up, I'm toast.
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: ... alright fine. I'll do it.
Raith Cloud: Screw what up? Your always singing and playing these great tunes.
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: These are imperials. They aren't very nice ya know...
Raith Cloud: Just do us both a favor...don't tell any jokes. -=He laughed as he punched him lightly in the shoulder=-
Holyknightsteve: Lyle smirked.
Raith Cloud: Don't worryu
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: Why not? Might leave em confused ;-)
Raith Cloud: I'll find some thing to blow up so you can run >D
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: You and appearance...
Holyknightsteve: He chuckled.
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: Well, we better get some rest first.
Raith Cloud: Yep, tommorow we scout, wednesday is show time >D
Holyknightsteve: He nods.
Raith Cloud: Now, how about that dinner? I'm starving.
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: head on up. I'll take care of the pay. I'll get us some room service for a change.
Holyknightsteve: Lyle walks to the counter and converses with the Keep.
Raith Cloud: -=He would walk up to their room and fall down on his bed, his thoughts went to Jade, and whether or not he would ever see her again, but hey, she was living her dream out in the country, he was happy for her=-
Holyknightsteve: A few minutes later, Lyle came up with a bell boy who was carrying all kinds of good food.
Holyknightsteve: Lyle plops down on the bed.
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: Gimme!
Raith Cloud: -=He would sit up and grab at some of the food before Lyle ate it all=- Ha, all that music playing worked up an appetite for you ehh?
Holyknightsteve: Lyle belches:
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: Mmf?
Holyknightsteve: Lyle is too busy stuffing his face to give a good answer.
Raith Cloud: -=He just chuckled and ate his own food as well=-
Holyknightsteve: After a while, Lyle finishes.
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: Ahh! Well, I'm gonna get a bath and hit the hay.
Holyknightsteve: Lyle goes to the next room.
Raith Cloud: Alright...-=He said as his friend walked out the door=-
Holyknightsteve: Minutes pass...
Raith Cloud: -=He quickly went over their earnings for the day=-
Holyknightsteve: Which turned out to be a Potion, an antidote, and 120 gil - the 20 for the inn
Holyknightsteve: Oh and the armband Raith stole
Holyknightsteve: Something then catches Raiths eye out the window in the distance.
Raith Cloud: -=He would get up and go to the window trying to figure out what it was that he saw a glimpse of=-
Holyknightsteve: One of th emany lights in the Imperial Palace goes out and is replaced by something that looks like one of those Black Lights but this... was different
Holyknightsteve: As if... it wasnt meant to happen
Holyknightsteve: The Black Light widened a little and then shifted, slowly moving out of view.
Raith Cloud: -=He shuddered a bit as he felt a chill run down his spine=- He still didn't know what he had just seen...but he knew he didn't like it.
Holyknightsteve: Then the light returned to normal.
Holyknightsteve: A moment later, many lights that were not on around the palace before suddenly flickered to life.
Holyknightsteve: FAR in the distance, an alrm klaxxon could be heard.
Raith Cloud: ...What the Hell was that...
Holyknightsteve: Gunshots! FAR in the distance!
Holyknightsteve: Some of the Riflefire dies down but remains at a steady beat.
Raith Cloud: -=He was getting worried now, he didn't even know what was happening...but somehow he knew it would have an effect on him=-
Holyknightsteve: A thunder bolt screamed down from the heavens and struck somewhere in the distance.
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: ...the hell was that?
Holyknightsteve: he came in drying his hair.
Raith Cloud: ...You don't want to know...
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: Yea I do but I don't think I'll find out huh?
Holyknightsteve: Lyle shrugged and finished his hair.
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: Your turn Funky.
Holyknightsteve: He smiled and waved his hand in front of his nose.
Holyknightsteve: Lyle plops on his bed.
Raith Cloud: -=Suddenly thoughts began to run through his mind, they were enough to have him ignore his friend's remark and even after he had settled down into his nice warm bath he couldn't shake them=-
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: Damn racket. How am I s'posed to sleep?
Holyknightsteve: Lyle immediately fell asleep despite his last remark.
Holyknightsteve: Another bolt was heard in the distance.
Raith Cloud: -=He just laughed and shook his head at his friend=-
Holyknightsteve: From the other room, Lyle grumbled and rolled over, asleep once again.
Raith Cloud: Ugh...at this rate I'm gonna go out there and shoot that guy myself...
Holyknightsteve: Lyle mumbles.
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: I heard that...
Holyknightsteve: The steady gunshots came a bit closer now.
Holyknightsteve: Whatever they were firing at must not have been killed yet.
Raith Cloud: -=He laughed again but then tensed, he heard that the shots were now closer together, and closer to them!=-
Holyknightsteve: Then the shots died.
Raith Cloud: A coincidence...it has to be -= He mumbled to himself and flopped down on his bed=-
Holyknightsteve: No more was heard.
Raith Cloud: Finally...
Holyknightsteve: A loud scream came from afar and one last shot was fired.
Raith Cloud: -=He wormed his way under the sheets and was about to doze off when that scream pierced his ears=-
Raith Cloud: -=His eyes shot open and a cold sweat began to form for no obvious reason=-
Holyknightsteve: (a manly scream btw. blood curdled)
Holyknightsteve: Lyle mumbles in his sleep.
Raith Cloud: (I see...)
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: You again? You sure are spooky looking...
Raith Cloud: ...
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: So... who are you?
Raith Cloud: -=He suddenly burst into his friend's room, there was no way, just no way=-
Holyknightsteve: Lyle rolled over and snored.
Raith Cloud: ...
Holyknightsteve: Looking in the room, nothing was seen except for Lyle.
Holyknightsteve: Talking in his sleep... again.
Raith Cloud: -=He wondered if it was coincidence...or if there was a connection, these ideas firghtened him more than any raid on an Imperial prison ever could=-
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: Mmmm... muffins... with some stew please...
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: Oh i couldn't possibly! No way... uh uh... forget it ok just one sip.
Holyknightsteve: Lyle then giggles in his sleep.
Raith Cloud: Unbelievable....even asleep its still all about food him... ugh -=He goes back to his room and tries to fall asleep, finally doing so to pleasant thoughts of his time spent with Jade=-
Holyknightsteve: And so the night passed without another sound... except from Lyle -.-'
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: ...with some gravy if you don't mind.
Holyknightsteve: Morning came... abruptly.
Holyknightsteve: ???: GET UP! YOU'RE UNDER ARREST!
Raith Cloud: ...
Holyknightsteve: 4 men surrounded the bed... Imperial MPs and packing some mean looking rifles.
Raith Cloud: But mommy...I don't want to go to school today, I want to stay home and bake chocolate chip cookies with you -=He mumbled sleepily=-
Holyknightsteve: Lyle is heard in the other room.
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: ...looks like we're going to the prison after all.
Raith Cloud: -=His eyes then snapped open=-
Raith Cloud: Err...
Raith Cloud: Hi there?
Holyknightsteve: MP: You're under arrest for the conspiracy to kill Emperor Cesbain!
Raith Cloud: ...
Raith Cloud: Say what?!
Holyknightsteve: MP: Don't bullshit with me! I saw you yesterday!
Holyknightsteve: Something rang through Raith's head.
Holyknightsteve: Holyknightsteve: Dark Armor: Do you believe in heaven and hell? The gods?
Holyknightsteve: Raith Cloud: Who can really tell in a place like this...so much misery that its doubtful that anyone believes in anything...
Holyknightsteve: Dark Armor: Indeed... but today... someone will become a believer in hell at least.
Holyknightsteve: MP: That Dark Knight! We saw you talking with him!
Raith Cloud: Motherfu...-=He didn't get to finish that thought before he was abruptly pulled out of bed=-
Holyknightsteve: The MPs turned him over on the floor and slapped on some restraints.
Holyknightsteve: A slam is heard in the other room.
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: HEY! Watch it!
Holyknightsteve: MP: Shut up you little murdering shit!
Raith Cloud: -=He managed to sneak that hair pin that he always kept on him into the palm of his right hand=-
Holyknightsteve: A kick is heard in the next room.
Holyknightsteve: MP: You! Get up!
Raith Cloud: -=Winces=-
Holyknightsteve: 3 of the MPs point their rifles while the 4th assists Raith in getting up.
Raith Cloud: Remind me not to order that wakeup call next time...
Holyknightsteve: From the othe rroom came 4 more MPs with Lyle in restaints and a nasty bruise on his face.
Holyknightsteve: MP: A funny man huh? Here I'll put you back to sleep!
Holyknightsteve: The MP hit Raith in the back of the head.
Raith Cloud: -=He snapped into unconciousness, but managed to hold onto that hair pin=-
Holyknightsteve: Hours pass... Night fell
Holyknightsteve: (Knight: ::falls:: I hate that joke)
Holyknightsteve: Lyle: Raith? Raith? You there?
