Bree paused as the soldier caught up with the girl, watching the village trying to find where the prince was, the smoke muffling most sounds. The girl stumbled for a moment, grabbing onto a crumbling wall and righting herself, hearing a faint sound of a scuffle, and made her way over to the sound, poking her head into the area, seeing the woman she had seen with Almeric before hand, assuming this was the princess. Her eyes widened as she saw the woman take on something she couldn't quite make out, the smoke to thick where she was standing and she let out a small gasp, backing away and staring at the soldier. "There's something in there," she murmured quietly.

(Sorry I keep poofing, I'll be more active on weekends.) Alexis watched Eliza carefully sighting at the girl's attempt to escape fate. "Puny girl." She chuckled softly lifting her hand, and slamming it to the ground. This was why the dark knight so powerful. A darkness spell sent Eliza back down to the ground right next to Alexis who walked over. "A princess can't beat a knight." She laughed grabbing the girl by the neck, and lifting her up. "I shall set you aflame, girl." Alexis laughed a spell starting to cast in her hand as black flames danced across the princess' neck. "You are do-" She started when she suddenly dropped the girl, and vanished like a ghost.
Eliza gasped for air as she watched Alexis disappear like a ghost. It didn't take long for Eliza to sigh realizing what happened. The real Alexis was in the capital still, and that was a mere goon made from Alexis' dark power. It was strong, but the more it used it's power the sooner is vanished. Eliza moved to find a exit however the dark knight did in fact seal her fate. The building was burning, and she had no escape at this point. Sighing she ran over to the door she blocked off. "Almeric take care of my retainers." She called out to her brother.
(Roaslie, or someone can save her :^p)
---------------------------------------------
Almeric watched the blockage with an angry look, he should have been the one risking his life to fight the dark knight, not his dear sister. He watched as the building was set aflame, and stood up. He wasn't capable of removing the blockage by himself he needed his retainers, or Eliza's. Seeing Bree Almeric called out her. "Help!" He pleaded more than commanded sure his sister was his rival though he had no ill will towards her in fact he was quite the protective brother which was way this pained him even the more knowing his sister could be burnt alive.

Bree stared at Almeric for a moment, a look of terror on her face, unsure if she actually had the strength to do so, but nodded either way, an idea coming to her mind, but hesitant on going through with it. Her idea required her to use magic, and she was quite unsure on how royals took to mages, knowing that the town she lived in reacted quite violently to them. She decided to take the risk either way, stumbling over to the blockage, putting her hands on it, glancing at the prince. "I would suggest movin' unless ya wanna turn into tonights dinner." She called out to both the prince and the woman inside, before sighing and muttering something under her breath, a small incantation that lit up a scar on her left arm, heating up the blockage and making it crumble before them. It was a neat little trick her mom taught her- if she learned the sigil for a spell it was almost like a short cut to the book, which was good for her considering she was completely illiterate. Bree stumbled away, the place now open, and she felt herself fall to her knees, shaking a little as what small portion of energy she had left her body, the red stain on her side now visible. "Get outta here," She mumbled. (Aww okay we shall see you on Sunday then!! Also I hope you don't mind I used Bree, if you do I shall delete it )

Eliza had already accepted her fate, awaiting the flames to burn her alive. Until she heard someone say stand back, and she did so. Then the blockage was gone due to what Eliza could only assume was magic. Magic didn't bother her much, it didn't bother a lot of people in the capital since Garuda was known for their King who used magic, and a famous mage who was working with the dark knight. Well maybe that was a reason to be scared of the mage on their side, scared she would join Garuda, but right now Eliza was just happy she wasn't dead. Running out she looked at Bree. "Thank you." She commented, and saw her wounds frowning. "Where's Jahirem? She can heal you." She asked mainly herself looking around, and soon she spotted the girl. (I'm only gonna like semi-rp Bristle's characters.) The young cleric came over, and healed Bree under commands of Eliza.
Almeric watched this all crossing his arms as he watched the magic. "Well, maybe you will be useful in a fight." He thought aloud watching as his sister came running out of the house, and helped Bree. Almeric walked over once Jahirem healed the thief, and put a hand on her soldiers. "I owe you one... If my father will allow it I will have the royal guards take care of those ki-" He started when a soldier heard him.
"Sire you're father is dead, the castle belongs to Alexis the dark knight now, and Garuda." The soldier informed, and went back to go help the villagers. Almeric looked a bit weird for a moment though any sadness was gone fast. "Let me put that on hold... Once I take back my home, I'll make sure they're taken care of." He added he owed this thief a lot for saving his sister, in fact the whole of Elsmi owed her now.

Once she had destroyed the blockage, Bree simply assumed her own fate, not realizing they had a healer with them. At first the wounded girl shied away from Jaheirem, not quite understanding what was going on before her wounds stopped stinging. She sat, wide-eyed at the magic, taking small breathes as she attempted to calm herself down. So this is what it felt like to be healed- until she realized that her sigils were still open wounds, and they might have closed up. She swore softly- only stopping when she heard Almeric talk, scowling when he mentioned she might actually be useful in a fight- he hasn't realized that beforehand? Any kid raised on the streets would be useful for that! Her scowl did soften slightly when he said he'd make sure that the kids would be taken care of- although she didn't think he realized how many kids she helped with, or how many kids needed that help. Once the soldier came and announced the king was dead, the scowl vanished into a wary grimace, knowing how he must feel, sympathy overwhelming her dislike for a moment. He might be an arrogant royal, but no one deserved to hear news like that. Bree tried to get up on her feet, still weak from the fighting, blood loss, and lack of food, and grasped his arm, not having much knowledge on any proper stuff for royals, and murmured a "thanks. I'm sorry 'bout your pa."

(I'm changing Eliza's front page picture :^p I don't like that one. I'm picky. haha.)
A day has passed since the attack on the village, and it was currently the night of the second day. Almeric hadn't abandoned the villagers as Cadem suggested instead they stayed clearing out the village of any soldiers left. They had also stayed to make sure the villagers could keep on going in peace the next day while they started repairs. They were offered to stay in the few houses that were still intact since Almeric, and Eliza's retainers were named heroes at this point. However to Eliza's dismay Almeric turned down the offer instead he had them tent out in the woods nearby so they could stop any attacks that could come to take advantage of the onslaught of the attack. The village was in bad shape, yet the villagers where in a good mood for they where the last village under Elsmi's banner only because they were lucky enough to have the last two nobles be in the village.Oh and did they show their pride, they had weavers make a large Elsmi banner, and slung it up. Sure it made them a target, but they wanted to show their joy. Their prince, and princess didn't flee from the attack. Nay they stayed, and were still there helping with repairs.
Almeric currently sit by the fire his katana stuck in the ground as he looked up at the stars. Today had been filled with work, work a lord should never have to do. He helped build, clean, and take care of orphans. He had many roles done today that were outside his area of expertise. Now was the time to relax however. His leg laid out in front of him as his other one bent upward. His hands rested behind him as support. Eliza was nowhere to be seen as she was at the temple with Jarhirem helping the villagers still. Almeric had no knowledge of healing so he was allowed to just rest at the camp. He had a boar roasting on the flames for him, and his retainers if they wanted it. He looked at Bree for a moment. "So you sticking around?" He asked not sure if the girl wanted to come with now knowing they would be at war. "If so you'd pick who you want to serve?" He added the second question wondering if she would even answer him. He knew the girl did not like him, and he didn't blame her. What prince allows his kingdom to go from large, and strong to a simple village. He didn't even have a kingdom anymore, nay he mere was the prince... or well King now of this small little village.

To Bree's dismay, Almeric insisted on staying to help rebuild the village. For awhile she had tried to help along with Cadem and Almeric,finding salvageable things and putting them in place, but the villagers ran her out fairly quickly, still convinced that she had something to do with the fire, throwing stones and kicking at her until she retreated to where they camped for out. She was now settled nearby, nursing a kicked stomach, in a bit of a sour mood because of the villagers. The dark haired girl glanced at the prince when he addressed her, sitting up a little straighter, trying to look a little proud but it didn't work, the dirt on her making her look more bedraggled then proud. "Of course ill come along. I don't have much choice in that matter." She huffed, but the harshness that was usually in her voice was missing, before adding indignantly, "why would I have to serve anyone?"

Almeric didn't answer her at first, this girl was difficult. Most people he dealt with understood the honor of serving a lord, they were as entitled as the lord, not as much, but pretty close. They had a purpose in life, and people they had loyalty to yet this girl didn't seem to want that. "You don't to do anything." He told her taking out a toothpick to bite on while he watched the flames slowly cook the boar. "If you don't wanna serve us then so be it. I can drop you off at Garuda. They don't know you, but they like mages. Their king is a mage, the dark knight uses magic, and they have a infamous mage of strong power there. They'd take you with open arms. If you don't want to serve us, or be around us go there. We may face each other in battle however." Almeric commented calmly he really didn't understand this girl all she had to do was say the prince's name to get the villager's to back off. All she had to do was say his name to become a hero. Yet she didn't do it, instead for some reason she took the beatings. Almeric wasn't going to step in if she didn't want it.

Bree frowned at him, faltering in her resolve momentarily, feeling irritation surge through her. Her eyes cut down to the ground- she didn't understand why it was so important for her to serve some rich child. He was no longer of as much importance as before, but he still had money and some status, and it confused her. "I would never serve them. Why do you think they hate mages so much here?" She retorted, shifting and wincing when she moved her stomach. She was too proud to try to invoke the princes name, and when she tried to point out she had helped save them it only enraged them more. She couldn't fight back, or they would probably accuse her of witch craft. So she suck it up and took the hatred of her peers. She glanced at her hastily made Sigils on her arms, she used some stain to help it stay long enough for her to get a more permanent solution.

"I see." Almeric simply responded having not much else to say to the girl. She had a very biased view on nobles, and he didn't plan on changing it in a night. So he'd let her keep her prejudice for the night and enjoy the peace of the night. Once the boar was ready Almeric cut it up with a dagger, and handed plates out everyone, and with his own plate he headed into the village. He had taken to a peasant girl who was quite poor, and he had planned on giving her his food as he knew she wouldn't eat otherwise. This wasn't as it seemed since the girl was quite young, a child. It wasn't as if he was trying to win her heart, any he just enjoyed the little girl enough to make sure she was taken care of. The thing that caught his eye was when she stuck up for another kid, and beat the bully. She was a warrior who didn't take advantage even though she was poor. After disappearing for a few hours he soon returned to the camp, and sat back down having made sure the girl was given a warm bed to sleep in for the night. "We'll set out tomorrow." He told anyone who was near by.

Once Bree had her portion of the boar she set off immediately, making her way down to the caves where the kids stayed, passing out her portion to the younger kids, looking around in approval as she saw that the camp was in decent condition, they had fire and some "beds", and she passed out her portion to them, taking her time to say good by to everyone, giving them hugs and a few kisses on the foreheads, feeling regret at the thought of having to leave them, feeling her heart break in two. The girl returned empty handed, looking heart broken, dirty, and hungry. She sat down next to Almeric again, before sighing. "You aren't horrible." She didn't know why she said that, but she felt the need to acknowledge this fact. Before he was willing to protect her family, and she heard that he made sure that one of the girls was fed and had a safe place to sleep.

Almeric had closed to his eyes to sleep when he heard Bree speak. "Oh yea?" He simply responded with a chuckle before opening an eye to look at her. "On the contrary I am, quite bad. Just not to my own kingdom." Almeric confessed once he became king he was no saint, he had plans of his own to conquer Garuda. He was tired of the iffy turns, and if he had struck first his kingdom would be the one occupying Garuda, and not vise versa. "Your hatred is not placed in the right direction. We nobles can't feed every child, nor will we ever be able to. However we look out for our kingdom, with every ounce of our body. I will fight for this kingdom even when we have no chance of winning, like now." Almeric confirmed. "I will do anything for my kingdom, but when we head into Garuda I won't be nearly as nice to the villagers." Almeric confirmed sitting up. "Eliza is the nice one, I am he one who gets thing done." He sighed rubbing the back of his head not sure why he was confessing all this, maybe he didn't want Bree to like him. Maybe he just wanted her to know he would do anything for his people, but only his people. "Once we get on our feet again, I plan on conquering Garuda not seeking out peace." He finally stated his thoughts.

Almeric looked at her calmly for a moment wondering how to answer that. Why did he want to conquer Garuda, revenge? No that wasn't it he wanted to conquer them before this attack. It wasn't the fact that they were a evil cult like kingdom either who wanted to summon the dragon garuda. Nay it was for more selfish reasons. "They don't deserve life." He said coldly standing up, and staring at the fire remembering something of his past. "I liked this girl, ya know back when I was young... No this isn't what you think. Garuda's prince didn't steal her and I'm jealous... They tortured her to get to me. She was a commoner so we couldn't do anything in revenge or risk a war. They did it because I refused to give my katana to the prince, or well like me I guess hes a king now... They killed her, and know they killed my father. Not to mention these villagers. I will slay each and every one of them." He stated with a fiery determination.
