Kikiyo smiled softly as she listened to Baylee speak to her. She fixed her dress and flatten her wings on the ground even though she was allowed to. Kikiyo looked at Baylee and spoke softly, "That is true and I thank you but I must say, I hope they are just rumors. I do not wish to be anywhere near violence anymore." she said softly fiddling with the hem of her dress. Kikiyo twitched her headwings as she turned them towards her loyal friend. They really acted like ears since she never had ears of her own, Baylee started talking again about her human form, Kikiyo tilted her head and smiled softly. "You are perfect no matter what form you are in Lee-Lee. You are better looking than me that is for sure, but I consider everyone lovely no matter how tainted their heart or soul is." she said pricking another rose and stripped it of its thorns before blowing on it making the petals glow lightly and turn all white. "Appearance isn't importnat to me, only personality. I cannot judge someone on how they look, only by how they act towards me." Kikiyo said in a sort of cheerful voice and placed the rose behind her headwings.

"Sadly, there's not really many places that truly have no violence. I know that things are starting settle between us and Neutrals, at least. It'll be a bit more peaceful for us. Let's just hope Princey isn't too bad.", Baylee said, letting out a sigh. She looked at Kikyo and blushed a little. "Oh, don't say that! You're beautiful! I'm awesome an all, but I think you're prettier than me! You have such beautiful blue haaaair! And you have awesome ass wings!", she said, patting the princess' shoulder. She stretched her arms and fell back, laying down in the grass. "Ha, I agree, but being good looking is a plus!", she said with wink.

Rex smiled to the thought about guarding his people "I under stand we both be leave that we are doing the best for are people" Rex started to walk away when he stopped and turned "Luna I hope that guarding the prince is every thing to you because if it is I will see you on the battle field" rex made his way out side moving down the mountain into range of his artillery guns "watcher Oren I have returned . . it is time to go visit the princess you will accompany me there as a guard"

Luna had observed the altercations between the prince and the general. She had a bad feeling in her stomach about this man, though she didn't know what it was about him that gave her that feeling. Watching as Rex left, his words repeated in her mind,

"I hope that guarding the prince is everything to you, because if it is, I will see you on the battlefield." Did this man truely intending to shake her? His mark hadn't been met, but there was something in the way he had frazed the sentence that was unsettling. Luna walked over to Cyrax, an almost emotionless expression had covered her face.

"I will protect you until the end of my life, my Prince." Luna told him, her sky blue eyes flashed in the sunlight as she reassured Cyrax of her oath.

Cyrax Clenched his fists. "God damnit.....Is this it......Is this really worth it!? "he called out to Rex, even though he knew that he couldnt hear him. Cyrax then thought of somthing. "il see you on the battle field......does that mean?......oh no...."he striaghtend up, and looked at Luna. "We must Get to the Dark light'n Kingdom. Now!" he said,

((anything good I should know about? I need a way to appear but I can't figure out how.))

"I go where you go my Prince." Luna said with a bow. "Just allow me to pack an adventure sack and I will meet you at the draw bridge. I will not be long." She turned and headed into the palace and to her quarters. Once there she packed a few packs of medical herbs, some dried fruit and meat, and a couple of defencive tools. Making haste as to not keep Cyrax waiting, she made her way to the bridge and waited for Cyrax.

(Fix: Me and gothy's characters are in the garden. You can have your character visit them. C: )

(:O Awesomeo! :3 I'm loving it so far! >: D)

(Where is Happy's charrie? o.O)

Kaji's morning wasn't quite as exciting as what had been transpiring at the moment. It started out like many of the others, with his usual regiment of training, which first included meditation rather than any physical activity like many others had. He believed personally that success in battle came down to not only skill but the balance of body and mind. As of late his mind had been a bit disturbed at the idea of having to come up with a possible strategy to fight against the kingdom's allies if the current plan were to fall through, but he knew if it was ordered of him he would follow through. The plight against the humans was another matter that he knew he would have to eventually sift through, and while it was going to be a bit of a challenge with the human's technology, it wasn't exactly one that he was too bothered with.

With these thoughts floating around, Kaji's meditation wasn't quite as gratifying nor peace bearing as he would have wished, which only made him continue to realize how much he truly needed it. His quest was soon interrupted however in a more physical sense as a feeling of a slight rise in temperature, a feeling of fire above and around, and the sound of a shout pierced his senses. He knew immediately the fire he sensed was not his own, but rather felt similar to the kingdom's Prince. Cracking a golden eye open and glancing towards the sky he noticed the fire seemed to form a sort of protective dome around what he believed to be the kingdom, causing a slight frown to spread across his brows.

His attention soon turned towards the sound of the voice he had heard, recognizing it as a fellow knight's as he seemed to run almost frantically towards the red haired knight, yelling something about a human confronting the prince. This of coursed caused his frown to deepen slightly as he soon ushered a verbal command for the knight to calm himself and explain what exactly was going on.

The 'report' was brief and to the point, with the help of Kaji's verbal steering. From what he had gathered the one believed to be the human rebel leader had entered the kingdom and demanded to speak with the Prince, which was eventually granted. From there the details were a bit blurred as the knight had only overheard a bit of the conversation as he passed by, though from what was gathered it seemed the human wished for the Nuetrals to surrender. The golden eyes slid shut soon after processing the information he had been told, before a question was posed towards him. Should the knights attack the human? It was a question that was soon answered with another question from Kaji. Had any of the royal family issued an order to attack the human? When the other knight gave the negative answer the golden eyed one made it a point then that the answer should be obvious. No order had been issued to display aggression and thus there was no need. Plus a show of aggression within the Nuetral kingdom could quickly lead to trouble to those in the kingdom outside of the brewing war.

His thoughts and slight conversation were soon interrupted again briefly as the feeling of fire above soon receded. With a slight sigh the red haired male decided it would perhaps be best to find out exactly what was going on himself. With a small thanks towards the other knight and pat on the shoulder, the golden eyed male soon left his chosen spot for meditation that morning, to find out exactly what was going on, a search that eventually led him towards the drawbridge for the simple reason being that if the rebel was still in the kingdom, activity would eventually reach that particular area. After all he didn't believe the human leader to be naive enough, nor suicidal to attack within an enemy's lands, without at least some form of back up or other soldiers with him. From what he had gathered from the other knight, the human had appeared to be alone, though Kaji knew that there could have been some hidden humans somewhere within range just in case.

The sight he was greeted with at the drawbridge when he fully arrived, however was not one he had been really expecting. Luna, the known guardian of the Prince, appeared to be waiting with a bag of what he guessed to be supplies of some sorts, though the reasoning was still rather unclear to him. "Going on a trip?" he calmly inquired, not really seeking detailed information in the simple question, but merely confirming what his eyes saw and mind pieced together. It was a curious sight after all for ones, he assumed the Prince too would be accompanying the water woman as the two were practically inseparable or at least were whenever the knight saw them, to be venturing out with a war and no accompaniment of knights. Not that he felt that it would be needed for either one, but it was still a fairly unusual sight.

(happy is the mod)

Rex was walking across the draw bridge he then saw the prince and two knights behind him "watcher we have company look's like the Nuetral kingdom also wants to make a visit to them hurry up" Rex found him self walking up the steps to the other kingdom on his way up he was able to see the guardian where the princes was he made his way up to the princess removing his helmet he went to one knee "mam it is good to see you again" Rex stood up as he held his helmet at his side " I must speak to your family about the war" Rex new that the princess was more caring but her body guard was not.

In the training field, Gemini practiced hand to hand combat.she had spent time studying martial arts with the humans, and found that many of their styles suited her quite well.she had her hands wrapped in bandages to prevent serious damage.she punched a sandbag with the force of one twice her size sending it rocking back and forth.from there she completed a series of complicated flips, jumps and kicks, resulting in the breaking of several strategically placed wooden boards around her.standing straight in the center of the circle, she faced west- the direction of the setting sun- and bowed.this marked the end of her training session for the moment.each day when she began her training, she faced the east- towards the rising sun- and bowed.the directions were symbolic, sunrise indicating the beginning and sunset the end.now, at close to noon, it was time for lunch and then a quick surveillance check around the perimeter of the palace grounds.with the Neutral prince scheduled to arrive soon, it was her main priority to make sure everything was safe.Gemini allowed herself a rare smile.any would-be assassins would get a nasty surprise if they tried anything on her watch.

Baylee shot up on her feet and glared at the man. She stood in front of The princess, keeping the man back. "Back off, pretty boy.", she barked. "You damn human...I should have detected you. I should have kept my guard up. I really don't care about what you want, but if you get to close to the princess and show any kind of threat to her, I'll rip you disgusting human head off your shoulders!". Baylee's arms started emitting a dark aura. A black blade started to form in her hand, made purely out of darkness. "Care to explain what you're actually here for. I doubt you're really here for a friendly chat."

"Greetings Kaji." Luna said nodding her head to the knight. "Indeed," she answered his question and adjusted the bag from her shoulder onto a more comfortable possition on her back. "Seem there are some matters in which the Prince wishes to attend to." She didn't want to reveal to much information, though she figured he didn't want much. Ears of the enemy could be anywhere and hidden ears have big mouths.

Cyrax went to His Room, and Took off his Royal-donning. He then put on A Leather Tunic, Legging's, Braces, and picked up his Hide-shield, and a Steel Axe. He also Reached into His Drawer for the One thing He hid from his Parents. A .32 Pistol, a Gift from the Human world. He picked up the ammo, attached it to his side, took up a Bag of Supplies, and left the Castle. He Arrived Next to Luna in Record time. "Its time to get moving...."he looked towards Kaji, and bowed. "I would be Honored if you Would Accompany us."

Oren's men had been busy securing the battlements while the Lord General was in council, so when his General returned, all men were at their stations, prepared for war.

"Watcher," a runner came up to him. "Lord Hound is on the horizon."

Oren nodded to him, called his men to attention, called his adjutant to his side and made his way to the gate.

When Lord Hound had arrived, Oren saluted and fell in step beside his General.

"Watcher Oren, I have returned . . It is time to go visit the princess. You will accompany me there as a guard."

"Of course, sir.". He turned to his adjutant and motioned for some men to accompany them. Immediately they set off to escort their commander.

------------------------------------------------

Upon arrival to the palace, Oren motioned for his retinue to remain outside and accompanied Hound inside. The hall was enormous and beautifully marbled in dark stone. Oren found himself fighting to hold his head straight as his eyes gravitated to the frescoes and murals. Soon, however, he and his charge were before the princess. Following his commanders lead, Oren knelt to one knee, but neglected to remove his helmet, his hand safely close to his sword's hilt. His eyes finally held straight ahead, and as his Lord General had his meeting, Oren's gaze was fixed on the equally unforgiving glare the princess' bodyguard gave while his ears remained atuned to the room, keen for any disturbances.

Rex looked at the guard "hmm smarter then you look no I'm here to speak about the battle to come I hope you don't mind that I brought one of my watchers" Rex did not know what to do about the body guard drawing her shadow blade. Rex moved his hand the the scull on his chest slowly so no one attacked him he pushed down dropping the mechanical arms on his back to the ground then his axe "but I be leave it is only fair that my warrior should keep his weapon if yours keep's her" Rex new of the men just out side the kingdom but he brought no hostility "my princess we both wish that no one die's in battle I'm only wishing that you agree with me" Rex remembered that they would have other gusts soon.

(Ah I see, ok. ^.^)

Kaji's head nodded in understanding, wishing to push the matter no further as he had gotten the simple answer he had requested. "I see, well if there is anything you or the Prince needs do not hesitate to ask, I'll gladly comply" he quietly responded as he noted the shifting bag on Luna's shoulder. His attention was then drawn to the sudden appearance of the Prince. He gave a smaller bow then what was normally required for a knight to give in greeting to royalty for two particular reasons. The first being he didn't wish to draw attention to the fact the Prince was at the drawbridge as this seemed more of a 'secret' mission from the looks of it, and it could cause a stir within the Kingdom. The second being he was well aware of the Prince's opinion of getting the 'royal treatment'.

The red haired knight was a bit surprised to find Cyrax's invite to accompany him and Luna on whatever business it was that the Prince had. "The honor would be mine" he replied, giving a small bow of the head as the corner of one of his golden eyes caught sight of someone casually passing by within the kingdom, though not paying much attention. His other eye caught the sight of movement further on, on the other side. From what he could tell they were not of the Nuetral or Dark'Lightian kingdoms, which left only one option, humans. He had an inkling that they were perhaps involved with the Prince's business, however he didn't inquire, his duty was merely to fight and protect, not inquire the reasons why. Besides he had feeling he would find out soon enough anyways if he was accompanying the two.

"My Lord---," Watcher Oren interjected when Hound dropped his harness and weapon. His hand instinctively went to his sword hilt, anticipating an attack from the undisciplined bodyguard. Over the comms in his helmet, Oren could hear his adjutant stalling the Prince and his retinue as they tried to enter to the palace. Good man, Oren smiled to himself at his adjutant's initiative. Just a little longer and we can be done with this.

Oren keyed his adjutant's private comms so that those in the room with him could not hear him. "Adjutant, do what you can to keep them outside."

"Aye, sir."

Oren thought to himself for a moment, then added in afterthought, "And, Adjutant, maintain rules of engagement. Only attack if attacked. But if you are assaulted, you know what I expect of you."

"Yes, sir." The adjutant sounded determined, but ready.

There was a sence of comfort that washed over Luna when Kaji agreed to accompany them. Though she was very confident in her abilities, having a knight in their party would insure Cyrax's safety even more. His presance would sure drive away theives and other hooligans they'd inevitably encounter.

"Let us be on our way." Luna said to the men as she turned and looked across the lowered bridge. She would take stride behind the men, keeping a keen eye out for assasins, traps and ambushes. With a last look over her shoulder, Luna scanned the small town that laid withing the Castle walls. It was a simple dusty village with what seemed like thousands living within it. Closing her sky blue eyes, Luna said 'see you later' to the town in her mind as she'd always done when she left with the prince. For her, it was good luck, a way of saying 'yes, we WILL return'.

Baylee watched the men for a few moments, then let the blade fade away. She put her hand on her hip and continued to watch them. "No one wishes for a bunch of people to be killed, but it was going to happen anyway when your people started up a damn war. We wouldn't be in this mess if you all weren't so bent on being in control. We were fine before all this shit.", she said, letting out an angered sigh. "Seriously, we've been protecting you all for the longest time, and then you start this?".

Oren shifted his weight, trying to hold his discipline as the princess' bodyguard continued to speak out of turn.

Our people started the damn war? Oren smirked behind his faceplate. We are not their colony, nor will we ever be. Oren waited expectantly for his Lord to respond.

"Oren quiet Please" Rex didn't want a battle on there hands with both of the tribes "I'm sorry yes we were the one's that started to rebel but only because your people held us in oppression we had no other choice " rex had no anger in his face when he said it but they new how he felt about this war this was a stupid war and only a peace agreement or total death of one of them could stop it and they new this as well.

OOC: Just so people are aware, italics means my character is thinking (meaning your characters can't hear him, re: god modding) and talking into a comm means that unless you have a human helmet ON, your characters can't hear what is said (I'm looking at you here, Black_King). This means that no one in the room can hear Oren giving orders to his soldiers outside, not even Hound, since his helmet is OFF.
