[RPG] [BT] [Irombrozia] ~ A Capital Overrun and A King's Desperate Move

[Marc J.]

"My King..." The messenger gaspes, "look to the walls!"

And, with his message delivered, he falls to the multiple arrows sticking
from his side, the sword strike to his back, and the winding ride to the
palace.

King Marc, desperate for good news, looks - and is horribly disappointed.
All across the wall, Luzian and Avalonian banners are being raised - and
Marc's army is pouring throughout the city, running for their lives.

"Damn." Marc whispers to no one in particular.

"Quayervaggi, the Head Druid, the Great Egg, and the Great Dragon damn you
Nhoc!" Marc says without emotion.

"And you as well Prime Minister Herkan!" Marc snarls, this time, his anger
rages. "For an Arch Priest of Quayervaggi, you seem to be quite the damned
pacifist!"

Marc bows his head and, holding his crown in his hands, thinks over the past
months. All of that, gone? Lost? No, it can not be...

Suddenly, the rustling of swords against mesh armour causes him to look up.

"My King!" The Sergant says, saluting. "Your guards managed to stay
together... we can get you out of here!"

"If your Magesty wants to, of course..." The man corrects himself, seeing
the look in his King's eye.

"No... we will not run. We can not run. Our sanctuary has been directly
attacked. Gather all the men, have them pair up, go throughout the city,
posting messages calling on all loyal citizens to rally at the palace in the
morning."

Marc waits for the orders to be given to the subordinates before continuing:

"And, someone make sure that my Captain of the Black Guard is sent to me
within the hour... oh, and make sure that Herkan has recieved word that Rii
is empty of Luzians... and that his army won't be threatened."
