After Sokka got his sister, Katara and thier friend, Aang, to an Ositan inn, he whent to the Ositan Palace. He entered and saw a man ordersing solgires. It looked like they were meerly training. After they had stopped, Sokka apporched the man. "Exuse me!" He called out. "My name is Sokka. I'm from Santaruz. I just bearley escaped. Please, can you tell me where Lord Calis is?"

"Try looking somewhere 6 feet under." he said, almost smiling at his own comment, however, tears bursted from his eyes, falling down his cheek, and onto the solid ground.
OoC: Might I ask, where are you from, Shyon/Sokka?

'Another savage from the East?' I muttered.

"Wha- oh. Calis is..." Sokka trialed off as he saw Matis turn away. "Im sorry, but, how did it happen?"Sokka asked. he then heard a man next to a wyvern say somthing about a savage from the east. "Hey you! What did you just say to me? I didnt come all this way to be insulted by a guy who rides a flying lizard!" He yelled at the man.
)0C: He was born in Sacae, but his tribe settled down in Santaruz when he was 5, after bandits almost destroyed the whole tribe.

OoC: I actually meant you, not the character. Whatever. >_> Also, why does everyone say "Mantis"? I'm not a friggin insect! -_-
BiC: "He...he had a heart attack." he said, and stopped crying shortly after.

'Can you stop yelling and being rude! We are mourning!' I snapped.

OoC: sorry about the length between posts, kinda out of it right now, busy with school and what. GO MANTIS GO!!!
Matthias had been eyeing the newcomer since he walked in. A little surprised at Alan's reaction, he shrugged it off. He honestly didn't care. "Yes, apparently Lord Calis just up and died on us, kinda suscipcious if you ask me," he glanced over to where the troops were training. Things did not look good. "I'm Matthias, the 'wyvern guy' is Alan, and the swordsman is Matis, who is technically the leader. The girl who just went that way," he pointed towards the infirmary, "happens to be a friend of mine named Alexia. Now, you've met the best f**k**g troops in this bloody army." With Alexia gone, he felt frustrated once again, and felt the need to verbalize this. "I've gotta get some rest or I'll fall over. I'll try to make it to the ceremony," he waved as he headed toward the barracks. Then, remembering something, he turned. "Alan, we definately should try and find Kenshin. If we don't gather a group together, and stay together, we'll end up meeting Calis way too damn early." Having said his piece, the scruffy archer left the other three.

"Im going with you." Sokka said. None of the others seemed to protest. It seemed that they needed more support. "I might be new, but I wount get in the way, i promise. Ill do whatever I can to avenge Lord Calis's death." he said. "Ill be back in time for the ceremony, I need to bring the news to some people." Sokka added as he started walking away.

'Don't mind that cursing archer, growed up on a farm. So, he has a good reason to be that way.' I said.

Many soldiers lounged around in the barracks area. A few recognized Matthias as being one of the last to pull out of Santaruz. A few more recognized him as being close companions with the lords, and the troop leader Alan. Thankfully, none of them thought to disturb the archer. Grunting, Matthias picked an empty cot, tossing down his gear. "Well worth coming back, dammit. Alexia isn't feeling well, Alan's uptight, got some new kid..." the rest faded into mumbling as Matthias slumped down on the bed. He needed rest. Laying down, he closed his eyes, hoping for at least some rest.

Alexia came to slowly, blinking away a groggy sleep. Rising up, she found herself in the middle of the castle infirmary, not far from where she first met Calis. The memory resurfaced, causing yet more pain. She didn't have a fever, that much she knew. No, grief had laid her low, causing her to become a shambling shell of her former self. Slapping her face, she moaned. People with real injuries were supposed to be in an infirmary, not pouting girls. The knowledge that she'd have to pull herself together to be any good haunted her. A few days would be needed for her to be ready to help. Then, she'd fulfill her duty. For now, resting sounded good. Real good...

Then it struck me. With Calis and Yeo (whatever happened to him?) out of the picture I was offically the highest ranking Santuraz soldier. 'Nice going Alan, You always have to get involved, don't you?' I muttered.

OoC: Yeo...Dunno. Let's say the thought of losing his master and best friend was probably too much for him, so he went on his own to Bern to attack, not to be seen again. >_>
BiC: Matis had heard Alan say something, but couldn't quite understand it.
"Something wrong?"
People had started to gather at the courtyard, as expected. They had all surrounded Matis, Alan and the soldiers, who had already taken position.
"This is it, I guess..." Matis whispered to Alan.
"People of Ostia and Santaruz! I'm afraid I'll have to give you the painful news." Matis shouted, so everyone could hear. Some people were hanging from the trees, in order to have a better view.
"Calis, Lord of Santaruz...has died. He had a heart attack only a few hours ago. We have gathered you all here in order to decide what we should do with his body, which lies lifeless in one of the infirmary rooms at the moment."
"Bury him in the courtyard of this castle!!" some voices echoed from within the crowd. Shortly after, more and more people started joining the claims.
"Fair enough. We'll build a statue in his commemoration, and bury him besides it." Everyone seemed to like the idea.
