[RPG] [EC]Caligus - The battle of Domus, A Kings story

[Stefano De Monte]

**META** Note, this happend before, during and after the last battle of
domus (The Third one), this more then a week ago.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The sound of Iron against stone echoed threw the Palace halls.
Vlad was just back from a Emergency Council meeting and he was now heading
to his room.
Vlad always were his complete harness and Royal insignia before and after
the battle, it was some kind of Physiological preparation for him.

"M'lord!"
Sir Fredrich di Ivanov ran upon Vlad.

"There's a message for you Sire"
He offered his King the message, looked him one more time in the eye, almost
worried, and left after Vlads Gesture to assemble his unit.

The messages contained Scout reports of what seemed to be movement Towards
Domus.

"*This is it... Its me or them... Victory or Defeat... Life... Or Death..."
And So the King closed his helmet and Covered his Grim, restless face from
reality once again, and sets off to assemble his army, for the greatest
battle of the Kingdom of Caligus EVER...** *


 *A few hours later:*


 The entire City of Domus seemed like a big hornets nest.
Everyone was running around, preparing for the big Assault.

Fredrich Di Ivanov, Caligus Royal Scribe, personal Scribe of King Vlad, was
standing standing just north of the Palace, overlooking the walls around
Domus.

In the distance he could see many noblemen assembling there units, and
looking into the distance like there trying to spot a fly, buzzing around 2
miles away.
When suddenly, he saw SoP sounding his horn waving to a defence turret 250
feet further down the wall.

It was where Vlad and Zelos where assembled.
The defence turret was perfect to overlook the battlefield and safe enough
to raise flags that symbolize the formations used.

When Zelos Sounded his horn, the Army started to get into there positions,
and only minutes later they hear the horns and voices of the Federation
army.

The battle has begun...


 *6 hours later:*


 *"Bring me my Scout reports! i need a total coverage of our current
situation"*
The battle of Domus was just over and Fredrich walked into Vlad as he was
picking up some new shields for his men.
Vlad's Scribe didnt say anything, in-fact he was just staring at him, like
he wasn't there.

 After a few Seconds Vlad got irritated.
*"What...! Is Wrong with you?!"*
"Si..Si.. Sire..."

*"Come on, I don't have the time of the world! this is important OK?" *

Fredrich, totally stunned, tried to find the words he needed.
"Sir, There seems to be an Arrow Stuck in your right leg Sire... I would
advise to let your healer take a look at it Sir."

*"Arrow? ah please cut the nonsense Di Ivanov... We all know you..."*
Vlad quickly looked to his right leg, and indeed a Yssrian arrow was stuck
in the flesh of the warrior King.

Stunned and Amazed, Vlad stumbled to the nearest Rock and started to pull at
the arrow, just when Arch Priest Cartor passed by, looking strangely at his
King struggling with this arrow.

"Whats Wrong?"

"I don't know Sir, But he is acting really strange lately. He wanted me to
get his messages and all, while he was standing on his legs, Oblivious of
his serious Wounds..."

Cartors face made a questionable impression.
"He..? He didn't FEEL That?"

"No Sir..."

*"HEY! you two, Stop chatting around, and help me will ya! I need those
Scout reports in TEN MINUTES. If you are not back in 10 minutes, I will put
you both on the front line of the next battle to Come! Now Move!!"*

Amazed, and to stunned to say anything, they both walked off in search of
the recent Scout reports, leaving a struggling King alone...
