* Ice nodded and raised a hand giving a signal to his men to start the seige. Then he turned and got off of his horse and walked towards a small chapel maybe a hundred feet away opening the doors he went to the altar moving it much to the priests protests. Sane turned to the yelling priest and grabbed him by the collar.*
"Damn it you old fool if you don't shut up I'll run you through!" Sane screams his eyes opening wide his mouth fixed in a sick grin.
Hector grabs Sane's arm, "Let him go Sane... He's not going to do anything."
Sane throws the priest across the room smiling at his newly aquired strenght, "Old fool..."
Ice tugged at altar some more revialing a stair case underground. He motions for Sane and Hector to follow and then points to Kiah and motions for her to follow as well.
"Damn it Hector... I can't wait much longer... this is killing me... Not being able to feel the blood on my hands once more." Sane mutters.
Hector's excited grin fades and he looks at Sane, "Hey buddy you okay? You're not going to go all weird on me again are you? I don't want another repeat of the village insident like the last time you went all weird... Come on man you can wait a little bit... And don't talk so damn weird either... You're scaring me Sane."
Sane lets out a cackle and keeps on walking behind Ice who moves thorugh the passage at a slow pace.
::Kari's eyes began to darken as she listened to his words. She was surprised at the huge increase in his strength, and had the urge to help the priest, but held herself back. She didn't want to look suspicious. She followed the three men down the staircase and through the hidden passage. Her heart began to race a little as the impending battle started through her veins. She could feel the adrenaline beginning to surge through her body and her palms itched for her knives, though the sword at her waist was to be her primary weapon now::
*Ice stopped for a second and looked aroud... Dead end.*
"No... It can'e be... They blocked the rest of the passage off..." Ice stammers.
Sane's eye open wide, "WHAT?!"
Hector smiles, "Sane easy does it remember... I cna break through the wall with my ax... It should be too thick." Hector swings his ax a few times at the wall and watches at it crumbles, "That's why I love this ax so much."
Ice continues on as Sane once more begins muttering to himself about death and blood. Soon the reach the end... A lone trap door above them and a few steps leading up to it. Ice moves up and strains his ears to here what was going on upstairs.
"What the hell do you mean UNDER seige! We never get attacked! Damned bandits!" the voice yells, "Get the Lordship and tell him to hide... As general I shall defend this castle to the last man!"
Sane smiles, "I want him... I want his head."
Ice looks at Sane a smirks, "That's the best fighter in our land talking up there... You can have him if you want... Or at least you can try."
Sane smirks again and nods, "I don't need to try..."
::Kari kept her eyes locked on Sane from behind, as she was the last member in the group. She adjusted her knives on her thighs and placed her hand on her sword, giving it a tight clench to reassure herself that she was ready. Her heart raced and she removed her hand from her weapon, waiting for the signal to burst into the inner walls of the keep::
*Ice turned to them and smiles*
"Ready?"
Sane nods... He had been BORN ready he thought to himself as Ice threw open the door yelling on top of his lungs rushing into the chamber. It was the military strategy chamber where all the plans of battles were carefully thought out. The gaurds aroudn were surprised at the four individuals who leaped out but waisted no time in attacking them. Two ran at Sane who quickly disposed of them running one thorugh with his sword and the other he punched in the nose making it break and watched as he fell and bled on the floor , Hector was busy beating back the man he had, and Ice was cleanly cutting his bit by bit. And of course one ran straight at Kari.
::Kari quickly set her feet on the floor of the chamber and locked eyes with the man who rushed at her. In a flash, she had drawn her sword and uppercut the man in the torso. He fell to the floor, dead, lying in a pool of his own blood. She turned to another who was trying to get her from behind, but she could hear him coming from a mile away and flipped her blade, thrusting it beneath her arm to run him straight through the stomach, his arms still poised with a knife in hand to slit her throat. He fell to the floor beside his slain companions. Kari could feel the Shadow within her beginning to throb. It was pushing her to keep going. To kill more. It thrived on the sight of blood. She looked to the blade in her hand and felt her Shadow surging through it. It would surface before the end...::
