[Dude Man]

"Holy shit.....Nex?" Duilin say running over to Nex's dead body


"He was the only person in the Dark Empire who was accually nice to me....." Duilin then got abit sad "I remember fighting him awile ago to....odd...."

Nex's body was heavly bleeding with the head all messed up and bloody *I'll accually just have his head just messed up now, I allready did the head blwoing off with Patrick*

"Hey Zeros' you mind if I help you burry the guy, I kinda like him, he was okay to me....He gave me something that enabled me to start flame and stuff....He said it was black deamon magic." Duilin sat down beside Nex's body. He tried to remove the helmet but it was caved in to his face and was very bloody and tight. "Yuck! No way are we removeing that, just let the damn helmet stay!"

FLASH BACK

At a training barracks at a Dark Empire out post. Duilin is fighting a captive Gel monster, Duilin swings his mace at the Gel but misses and then Gel starts to grab at Duilin, Darion then swings his Buster Sword at the Gel, cutting it in half.
"You stupid fool! Your weak and useless! You won't be ANY help when we make our first strike on Romme!" Darion yelled at Duilin, he smacks at Duilin and he falls back and hit's the ground. Darion then turned around and bumped into Nex. "Umm....I'm....sorry, sir..." Nex then pushes Darion out of the way and then walks over to Duilin.

"You seem to lack fighting experence" Nex says to Duilin
"I was forced to join when I was 18 years old..." Duilin replies
"That's not very nice now is it. I don't usealy capture childeren, I never hurt them, unless abosoultley nessicary...What's your name soilder?"
"Duilin, Duilin Talonscar."
"Talonscar? What an odd last name...Anyways drink this...and I'll teach you something." He takes out a potion vale full of blood red liquid. And gives it to Duilin, Duilin then drinks the potion, it tastes like blood, but it's warm, and has abit more kick to it! Nex and Duilin talk abit more and Nex teaches him how to use the Fire Ball Of Death.

"Why are you so nice?" Duilin asks Nex
"Well....I'm not sure, but I think it's abit odd why I am so nice....I'm a....Deamon..." Nex replys
"You are?"
"Yes, but tell no one or I'll destroy you!"
"Ummm....Okay...."
Nex then pats him on the head and then gives him a backpak full of potions "Take these, now I must leave!" Nex then walks away

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

"I wish I could have talked to him abit....oh well, he proabally would have been alot meaner and would have killed me when when  we fought, if he knew it was me..." Duilin then cracked his knukless "Okay, so..."

[Zeros']

"...Sure." he handed Nex's body over to Duilin. He put Qeni down and she immediately ran over to Zev. "Zevy!" Qeni hugged Zev. Zeros' went over to Qeni and Zev, and smilied. He patted Zev on the head. "Take your sister and go hide..." He grabbed the sheath and sword that Zev had strapped to his back.

He walked in the middle of the cave. "And don't worry guys, Draven won't get the sword, its in a place he'll never look, and only I know where the location is."

He pulled out the small rapier and looked around. He saw the fireball floating. He went over to the side of the cave where it was and leaned on the wall. He held the blade up and aimed. He threw it at the tree.

"Draven huh...I would of thought he already attacked by now." He thought to himself. He picked up some snow and threw it at Seth.

"Im gonna...go somewhere, I'll be right back." He walked in the direction where Draven was hiding.

"Well Draven, you can stop hiding now. I know your around here..." he said in a low-tone, as not to alarm his comrades. "We have some unfinished business."

----

Qeni and Zev ignored Zeros' instructions and played in the snow.

[Dude Man]

Duilin then walked around inside the cave holding Nex's dead body. He then found a shovel and then he put Nex down on the ground. He started diging a hole in the ground. He then took Nex's weapons "Hey, these were the same weapons he hade a wile back. That kinda sad considering ym arsenel has changed about twice...or not..."
He then wraped Nex in his own torn robes and then put him in the gave, and buryed it, he then took out his mace and then swung it at a part of the cave wall a few time, smashing off a large peice of rock, He buryed 25% of the rock at the postion his head was at. He then took out his combat knive and sketched some words on to the rock, the rock was to be his tomestone.

                       Here lays, probally one of the most evil people
                       He may has struck fear and hate into most
                       But to some he was a hero, a friend
                       Even the ones with the darkest minds have the lightest harts

"Meh, that kinda sucks, but I guess it's okay...for him anyways." Duilin then took an empty potion bottle out of his backpak and then placed it by the tomestone.

"There ya go pal, you can have one back, I used it, but the bottle's yours man!" Duilin then walked out of the cave and back to the others.

"Were did Zeros' go off to?" He asks

[Zeros']

Zev had Qeni down on the ground and talked over to Duilin. "He said something about going somewhere, whatever that mean." He went back to playing in the snow with his sister.

[Dude Man]

"Thanks Zev, your a sport!" He says and then sits down "Well I guess Zeros' is probally gonna fight Draven now....I'm not in the mood for fighting at the moment...Hey maybe we can sneak over to the village and grab some gear, what do you say guys, I'll go, one more person come with!"

[Zeros']

Qeni sat in the snow exhausted, Zev sat by her, exhausted also.

"Sheesh..tired.." Zev looked over towards Qeni, she was already asleep. Zev walked over to her and tried to pick her up.

He fell backwards, he was too exhaused to help Qeni into Iduran's room to sleep.

[Cesque]

"Nex was actually a total bastard, as far as I understand." - Scorch said to himself, then whispered. - "All demons are. And can't be trusted."

"The problem is," - he said now with loud voice to Zeros, looking around for Draven. - "We don't have where the sword is either, and we have no insurance that you can be trusted. The only one who might have slightest idea about the sword around here is Iduran. When we deal with Draven, I suggest you return HIM the sword."

"Where are you Draven... I'm tired of waiting..."

[Dude Man]

"Oh yes that why I was looking for him, I want the sword back, he's caused enough trouble with it..." Duilin says

"And yeah I don't dought at all that he was a total bastard. He killed alot of inocent people but none of them women or childern, but still, he probally was an ass hole, but he never did anything wrong to me. I don't really like him, or hate him...He was just doing his job for the Dark Empire, like we used to work for them, Scorch, so I'm sure you would understand."

[Cesque]

"Women and children? Why should women and children be elevated? They're people just like adult men, and they have same right to die... Work for them? Oh yes. I remember several years ago I worked for them, but then I became officer and most soldiers were working for me instead."

[Dude Man]

"My god Scorch, you seem even worres Nex at times. But, Nex mersilly salatured people and impaled them usealy....But that's not the point! He cared sometimes! He felt remorse. But you with, your wind magic and your super powers, you think that everyone is even but your better then everyone else! And there not elevated, there just lest expenable because there are so few of them! You just don't care about anything do you, except winning the war. You just think your so though and can say whatever and have it be true, don't you!" Duilin says abit angrly. "Now if you exuce me, I'm going to village for suplies, we seem to be running low on them, and I'm sure we are all very hungry...Well I am, and the kids are exhaughted so they could use some food to." Duilin then walks off and heads over toward were the near by village is...

[Zeros']

Zev managed to get Qeni into the room. He picked her up slowly onto the bed and she feel asleep. Zev got in on the other side and feel asleep too.

----

Zeros' laughed at the argument Scorch and Duilin were having.

[Dude Man]

Moments later Duilin arives at the village. He safely made it there by takeing some detours to avoid Draven. He walks around at the village, he sees a few burning buildings, some villagers repairing them.

"Heh, seems like the people are starting settle back inside. Duilin then opens up his back back and sees how much money he has.

"Wow, I didn't know I'd have this much allready, he has, 1113 GP *or whatever we want to call it right now*

He then enters a shop.

"Supplies are running abit low because of that attack we had abit eariler" The Shop Keeper said

"Okay, I just need a few potions and ethers and maybe some food, can I get some of that?" Duilin asks

"Sure..."

A few moments later he heads his way back to the cave, he got about 8 potions and eithers, and a large bag full of fruits and vegis! He takes his detour to avoid trouble!

[Xorlak]

Draven watched curiously as the winged one returned with the dead body of his subordinate.

"What in blazes...?"

Yes, it was the same one he had fought at the village.  Wonderful.  First the Aritan shows up, and now HIM.  But he thought he heard him say something:

"Draven won't get the sword, it's in a place he'll never look, and only I know where the location is."

Duilin doesn't have the sword?  Blast it... what to do now... Scratch the old plan...  The winged one was walking in Draven's direction now, and he gave his challenge in his calm voice.  Draven remained hidden for a moment.  His surprise was ruined.  Could he take them ALL on?  Should he fall back for now?

Fall back!  Preposterious!  A High General of the Dark Empire NEVER loses!

"Hmph."

Draven snapped his fingers.  The fireball that he had so carefuly manuvered to the opposite side of the clearing exploded, ignighting a tree in flames directly behind Scorch.  That distraction should give him at least a moment's time alone with the winged one...

Draven turned so that he was now leaning against the tree with his arms folded and his clever smirk, facing Zeros'.

"I must say, I'm quite impressed, demon.  The commander you just offed was a wild one...  I don't believe I've caught your name..."

A soft breeze blew as the coldness of Shin's spell began to lose its effect.

"Tell me, why is it that you fight?"

----

(Good observations, Haraldur)

Iduran stroked his chin in thought.

"You mean, those thousands of soldiers that attacked us are gone?  This is wonderful news!  Well, if you don't think an army is neccessary, then we won't bring one.  I don't want to get your people involved...  although I would appreciate returning home as quickly as possible and I welcome you as a guide.  What is your name, young man?"

[Dude Man]

Duilin then arived outside of the cave with the others

"Now that's defentily the smell of a tree burning!" Duilin says, wile smileing at Scorch "Well we should probally do SOMETHING about that now!"

[Haraldur]

"My name is Haraldur Gunnar Olafsson, I am named after the prince, Haraldur Gunnar Hilmarsson.

"Let us go to the ships now. They are just in our capital city, Haraldsvík (named in honour of its founder: our first king, Haraldur Ragnar Steinsson), which is also our principal port. Come with me."

He started walking away, and gestured Iduran to follow him.

//How he knew all this: in this world blood brotherhood means that a telepathic link is maintained between the blood brothers. This means that the two Haraldurs always know what the other one is thinking and doing, except when the elder one is out of this world.//
