[RPG] [FEI] [ Archachon ] Carie Goes Insane? Or Does She Really See Her Brother?

[Jonathon Taylor]

Walking around Enlod, Carie still hadn't forgotten her last unit of Archers,
"the hairy bunch" she remembered them as.

She was sat out side of a Bakery with her head in her hands whilst her unit
of infantry we're behind her, eating to there hearts content whilst Carie
nursed her pride and self respect.

*'I can't believe they deserted me... they didn't even take the 2 gold I had
on me when they left. If they raped, pillaged and mugged me I'd feel less
bad. But they we're strong enought to say I was a bad troop leader and leave
without so much as a blink of emotion... but with the strength to stop them
selves putting me in a worsened state than I had started...'* she reminissed
to her self as meaningless words bounced around her head while she tried
picking up the pieces, but something else seemed to be bothering her...

Carie then stopped, still looking at the floor with her hands holding her
head up as she sat on the door-step outside the Bakery when she over heard a
voice she recognised. She lifted her head, and to her dismay and complete
shock, her Brother, Jacket stood there before her.

But she blinked and rubbed her eyes, and the image of Jacket dissappeared
from site and all that was left in his place was a small puddle of blood,
and a piece of leather.

*'What... what on earth?'*

She suddenly felt enraged, upset, vulnerable and afraid for her brothers
life. She ran to a small merchants opposite the Bakery. A man stood there
beside a horse, she pushed him aside, threw 30 gold pieces at him and a
small bag containing another 26 gold. She climbed upon the horse and
replied;

*"My men are stood in that bakery, eating, give them that 26 gold. Tell them
not to spend it all at once and tell them that I won't be returning."*

To her complete shock, just before she threw her heels into the horse Thomas
her Scribe stood there before her.

*"Thomas get out of the way! I think my brother Jacket has been mortally
wounded, I must see him now get out of the way!"*

But Thomas didn't reply, all he did was stand there and smile.

*"What are you doing! Get out of the way!"* Carie bellowed.

*"You're not going any where without me Misses!"* without hesitating he
threw another fistfull of gold to the man next to Carie's horse and pointed
at a white, trimmed and well defined stalion that stood over by a barrel
towards the inn. The man stood next to Carie smiled and Thomas ran over to
the horse.

*"Now, to Rereat we go?"* Thomas replied as he rubbed his chin and smirked.

*"You're a charmer, and an idiot, you know that Thomas? Hyar!"* Carie
shouted as her horse charged forwards and Thomas followed just behind.
