Several soldiers ran about as Matthias and Alexia attempted to work their way back into the city. "Jeez, watch where you're going, you damn looney!" snapped Matthias, shoving back at a soldier. The soldier whirled around, and Matthias was suprised to see tears in the eyes of the young warrior. "We just recieved news that Lord Calis is dead!" he told the archer. Matthias stood still for a few moments, mouth opening and shutting. Finally he shook it off, grabbing onto Alexia's wrist. "We'd better get to the castle, fast!" he told her, taking off through the crowd.

The news stunned Alexia, even worse than it had Matthias. A chill enveloped her body, shutting down everything. Blankly, she allowed her old friend to draw her through the crowded streets. Her mind danced around the fact that the handome lord had met his end. Soon, it traveled down a path of guilt. Maybe if she'd been there... Alexia was so wrapped up in her thoughts that she didn't even notice when they arrived at the gates. A familiar soldier in orange armor stomped out to meet them. "Looks like you've already heard the news," Marcus mentioned, looking over the distraught young cavalier. Alexia nodded, it was the only motion she had strength to do. "You two had better go report to Matis, he's in charge. Alexia, good job getting Matthias back. We'll train when we can find time." Alexia barely heard him, she only nodded. Matthias continued to lead her through the palace...
(It's okay for me to move my own alts, right? Otherwise it could take me a while to get them both somewhere...)

OoC: The way you are doing it, yes, for as long as you don't post in succession with them more than once or twice(say, Matthias-Alexia-Matthias-Random guy #1-Alexia-Random guy #2-Random #1-Matthias, and so on). My character has nothing to do at the moment. Anyone, post something to go on with the story. XD

I walked to the courtyard where soldier were still wandering aimlessly in their grief. I gathered my strength and called them together. 'I need people to send messages to all Marquesses of the Lycian Alliance, anyone up for it?' Enough volunteered. I had them send messages to Worde, Thria, Ryerde, Laus, Tascana, Araphan, Khathelet, Liaran, Tania, Badon(?), Pherea and Caelin. After they left I returned to Matis. 'Do you think we should spread the news to Bern and Etruria too?' I said, 'You know with Lord Sain's condition and all?'

"I don't know...Bern doesn't seem like a good idea. If they find out, bandits may diguise as commoners, get into the castle, and start an inner siege. Etruria, I don't see why not. Wonder where Sain is..." Matis was quite confused. Ideas came to mind as to what to do, but he couldn't concentrate enough to come up with anything remotely good. He felt anger. He wanted to destroy the bandits once and for all. After all, it was their wound which probably weakened Calis enough to be susceptible to the heart attack. They had also killed Sain's mother, attacked one of his sisters, and furthermore, destroyed the entire tribe, Kenshin and him being the only survivors... "Wonder where Kenshin is..."OoC: BTW, it's Baddon, if I'm not mistaked. Quite close, though.

(No it's Badon but I'm not sure whether it i a territory or just a town.)
'Alright, I'll send messages to Etruria too.' I said and had another soldier go to Etruria.

OoC: It seems you are right. It's a town. My mistake. And sorry, but I have nothing to add to this post. >_<

Finally, upon reaching the courtyard, Matthias found someone he recognized. "Alan?" he asked, approaching the wyvern rider. "What's going on here? I wander off for a while and everything goes to hell..."
(OoC: not exactly sure how the time flowed, seeing as I know my chars were gone for a few weeks at least... Oh well...)

OoC: Let's just suppose time went like this:
Everyone trapped in jail. Kenshin fought Mr. "I'm the new lord of Ostia whose name is not remembered by Matis". Matthias and Alexia left. Kenshin went away. Calis and I organized the place for some weeks. M and A came back. Calis died. Whatever is happening now.

OoC: Are we allowed to have OoC posts? I thought that was against the rules or something, though I do appreciate the timeline like thing.
"Alan? Seriously, what's going on? I mean, we leave, come back..." Matthias trailed off. This was exactly why he didn't want to come back. Sighing in frustration, his eyes wandered. Maybe Alan was just as confused as he was. Alexia seemed worse...

'You wouldn't believe me if I told you. I'm tired of sitting on this castyle doing nothing, after the funeral let's go find Kenshin.' I said warily.

OoC: Actually, I'm helping the story go through, even if it's through OoC's, and they can be counted as "Admin" OoC's, since I'm actually answering questions. Except for the one where I apologized for Badon's name.
BiC: Matis had overheard Alan and Matthias talking. Alan had decided to go find Kenshin, and as much as he would like to go, he would have to stay and try and hold the few remaining survivors of Santaruz attack safe.
"Alexia, are you okay?" The girl was kind of pale, and Matis got closer to the group, to know what was happening. "Bring a nurse, fast!" he ordered a random soldier who was nearby, which got a nurse to the spot. They took her to the nursery, and let her rest on a bed. It was only some fever, thankfully.
Later, back outside, Matthias and Alan continued their conversation, with Matis meddling in it this time.
"You two are going to find Kenshin? I would love to go too, but I have to stay and protect Ostia, as much as I want to find my old friend."
"I can take care of Ostia in your place, if you really want to go with them." Marcus had appeared out of nowhere, having overheard Matis' words. "Are you sure?" "Yes, m'lord." "Thank you, Marcus. I really appreciate it."

'What about Alexia?' I asked. 'Shouldn't we wait for her?'

"Yes. Her fever will be gone in a day or two, so we should wait. In the meanwhile, feel free to use the rooms in the palace. I myself have alerady picked one. Also, remember that even though Calis and Sain have died, and I'm now in charge, I'm not the king, so don't refer to me as something like that. The king's room is empty, and shall be that way until a new successor to the throne is picked."

'Yes, milord.' And I walk away. As I move out of the castle and go to the inn. My wyvern rider companions immediately walk over to me. 'Yeah, we move out in a day or two. Head back to the Hide-Out.'
