<SirSanto> ::summoned… but not in a magical way, I could be burned as a demon if O could be called up that easy:: <Former SirCam> ::I know I was… I miss me ear ¬¬::

<SirMarkus> ::is in the gardens practicing sword play!::
<SirSanto> ::enters the throne room and bows before Josalyn:: You summoned me, my Queen?
<QueenJosalyn> <Callista> I’m afraid I have grave news… ::hands her the small scroll that was sent via hawk from Josalyn, Queen of Kattingham:: She has finally declared war on Megalith. I could not sway her from it.
<Lady_Angela> ::takes it and reads! frowning:: Oh no… Why is she so insistant on this war?
<QueenJosalyn> Aye. The message has been sent and recieved. We have officially declared war against the wicked Megalith City. Your time to prove your leadership abilities as well as loyalty to me has come. ::grins::
<SirMarkus> ((<Josie> Cuz’ she got all in my face!))
<QueenJosalyn> ((::DEAD::))
<Lady_Angela> ((::DIIIES!::))
<QueenJosalyn> <Callista> She claims we are alligned with demons because of my powers and that the Pastmaster once dwelled here. I have tried to convince her that we are good and just but she no more wishes to listen. Please, bring the head knight, Sir Markus to the throneroom.
<Lady_Angela> ::nods, handing her the scroll back. bows:: yes, my queen. Right away. ;:will hurry out of the throneroom and outside to find Sir Markus!::
<SirMarkus> ::is overseeing all the knights, yes::
<QueenJosalyn> <Callista> ::takes the scroll and finishes readying herself to go to the throne room::
<SirSanto> ::looks up to her:: My Queen… I obey your orders without question as your devoted servent. On taking on a City lorded with witchcraft, we will need warmachines… how soon do we have to be ready?
<QueenJosalyn> ((<Josie> So I was like “yo witch! Josie don’t play dat.”))
<Lady_Angela> ((::DIIIES!::))
<SirMarkus> ((::dies!::))
<QueenJosalyn> How soon can you be ready, Sir Santo?
<Lady_Angela> ::will find Sir Markus!:: Sir Markus! Sir Markus!
<SirMarkus> ::perks his ears, looks over his shoulder::
<Lady_Angela> ::going over to him:; Queen Callista needs to speak with you immediately.
<SirSanto> Well with our current stock of warmachines coupled with the speed of their contruction maybe 3 to 7 days my queen ::still one his knee kneeling till told otherwise::
<QueenJosalyn> ::frowns:: That long?! It takes a day’s travel to reach Megalith…
<SirMarkus> ::nods:: Very well. ::to the others;: Rest. ::goes with Angela;:
<Lady_Angela> ::will turn and lead him to Queen Callista!::
<QueenJosalyn> <Callista> ::arrived in throne room but is alone::
<QueenJosalyn> <Callista>::pacing in front of her throne::
<SirMarkus> :walks in there, bows::
<SirMarkus> ::kneelbows, that is;:
<QueenJosalyn> <Callista> ::turns to them. nods and motions for him to stand:: You may rise, Sir Markus. Has Lady Angela informed you of why I summoned thee?
<Lady_Angela> ::will stay aside! bowing slightly and waits by the door for Callista to finish::
<SirMarkus> I’m afraid not, your Highness. :as he stands;:
<SirSanto> … We do have powers to force all the commoners into working on the warmachines if you decree it
<QueenJosalyn> <Callista> Queen Josalyn of Kittingham has finally declared war against Megalith. I could not sway her. Now we must prepare for war.
<QueenJosalyn> Then that will what we must do. ::stands and walks down to where he’s kneeling:: They will understand that the cause is necessary for all our safety. ::reaches him and puts hand under his chin to have him stand up::
<SirMarkus> ::frowns now:: I see.
<SirMarkus> I will prepare the army immediately.
<SirMarkus> I will also ask Sir Tabor to move you to a safer area until it’s over, my queen.
<QueenJosalyn> <Callista> You and your knights must fight for us. I am afraid I cannot assist in this with my magic, nor any other magic users in Megalith. Otherwise that would prove to her we use our powers for ill.
<QueenJosalyn> <Callista> I will not move anywhere, but remain in this castle with my people.
<SirMarkus> But, your highness…
<Lady_Angela> ::is listening!::
<SirSanto> ::stands, feels strange the queen touching his chin… not right he should be touched by her Highness:: I will rally the men at once, my Queen… Megalith will be a cinder before the week is out. You have my word
<QueenJosalyn> <Callista> Sir Markus. I have never left my kingdom in peril and I will not now. Go and give word to your men, and Lady Angela please speak with the people and alert them to expect Kattingham’s army. I suspect she will wait no longer than half a fortnight.
<SirMarkus> ::sighs:: As you wish. ::bows::
<QueenJosalyn> I am depending on you, Sir Santo. ::rest hand on one of his shoulders a moment, looking him in the eyes:: Your victory will be granted a great reward.
<QueenJosalyn> <Callista> ::nods to him and to Angela:: Thank you both. ::small smile though worried::
<SirMarkus> ((<Santo> You mean I’ll get that pony I’ve always wanted?!))
<Lady_Angela> ;:nods:: Yes ma’am. ::curtsies and will step out now!::
<SirMarkus> ::goes on after her::
<Lady_Angela> ((::DIIIES!::))
<Lady_Angela> ::turns to Markus as they leave:: Do you think we stand a chance without Queen Callista’s magic?
<SirSanto> ((::DIES THE DEATH OF A MILLION DEATHS!!!!::))
<QueenJosalyn> ((::diiies!::))
<SirSanto> … ::stares back a moment and glup:: Yes my Queen… I will not fail you
<SirMarkus> ::sighs softly, then gets a determined look:: Yes, we do.
<Lady_Angela> ::nods:: Be careful..okay? I don’t want to see you injured…
<QueenJosalyn> ::smiles and turns from him to go and sit back on her throne:: Go and get your men ready and have preprations made. I will write up the decree for you to later announce.
<SirMarkus> ::smiles some: You worry too much.
<Lady_Angela> ::smiles a bit back:: Its my job…
<SirSanto> ::bows again:: At once My Queen… ::turns and is off!::
<SirMarkus> ::reaches for her hand and gives it a small peck;:
<Lady_Angela> ::blushes a bit:; I..will go alert the people to make preperations…if you need anything, just send for me.
<QueenJosalyn> ::grins as he goes.:: Your city shall fall soon, Callista… ::bwhahahahahahahas XD::
<SirMarkus> ;:smiles: I will. :goes prep his men!::
* QueenJosalyn is now known as DarkKnights
<DarkKnights> ::hahahaha XD await Santo’s command::
<DarkKnights> <SirLynx> ::out with the other knights!::
<DarkKnights> <Sir Lynx>::that is Callista’s XD::
<Lady_Angela> ::will go speak with the people! warning them of things to come and for htem to prepare!::
<SirMarkus> ::goes to de’ Sir Lynx:: We have trouble.
<DarkKnights> <Sir Steele> ::second in command under Santo XD lounging about while the others train::
<DarkKnights> <Lynx> I swear I had not been kissing Tashyra last evening! If Joseph is out to duel then I will face him hnorably! ::>_>::
<Lady_Angela> ((::DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIES!::))
<Lady_Angela> <Joseph> ::WHAT?! >_< ::
<SirMarkus> ((::dies!::))
<SirMarkus> …. ::busts up::
<SirMarkus> I don’t tihnk you’d have to worry about that. Sir Jason would have to go after Joseph’s hide for wooing his sister.
<DarkKnights> <Lynx> What’s so funny? Er… is that not what you came to discuss?
<SirSanto> ::walks over to Steele:: Sir Steele! ::frowns over at Steele who needs to get off his horse every once in a while:: Rally the men to me… I have an announcement
<SirMarkus> Kittingham’s declared war.
<SirMarkus> We need to round everybody up at the round table.
<DarkKnights> <Steele> ::erks! straightens up:: Right away, sir Santo. ::muttergrumbles under his breath as he gets off his high horse XD and gets all the knights summoned. soon all are gathered, wondering what this is about::
<DarkKnights> <Lynx> What? ::sighs:: Aye, I’ll go and get everyone there but… why? What have we ever done to them?
<SirMarkus> They don’t seem to approve of dark magic.
<Lady_Angela> ::has gone to warn the people! seeing to it they get food and supplies together and ready to get into the inner castle walls::
<DarkKnights> <Lynx> But none here use dark magic. Only good magic. Callista has ensured that all who use it respect that law faithfully, especially those who have traveled from other places for sanctuary here.
<DarkKnights> <people> ::are spreading the word and definately getting things ready!:: <Alexandria> ::one of the queen’s maidens hurries over to Angela. had been out purchacing some personal things for the queen:: Lady Angela! Lady Angela! ::bows before her:: Is it true? I hear talk of war.
<SirMarkus> Tell that to Queen Josalyn. ::heads inside;:
<DarkKnights> <Lynx> ::sighs and will go and gather the other knights for the round table::
<Lady_Angela> ::Frowns slightly:: I’m afraid it is. Sir Markus is preparing the men now.
<DarkKnights> ::assembled before Sir Santo, Steele in the front and center::
<DarkKnights> <Alexandria> Is the queen leaving this time?
<SirMarkus> :goes sit at de’ table!:: <Sir Jason> ::is there!::
<Lady_Angela> ::shakes head:: Nay. She refuses. And all those who use magic cannot help this time as thats what its about. Queen Josephine thinks we use dark magic.
<Lady_Angela> <Joe>::is there though mun can only handle Angela right now. heh…::
<DarkKnights> <Alexandria> ::sighs:: I see. I will return to the palace then. ::so mun can switch to Joe if she likes <3::
<DarkKnights> <Lynx> ::arrives there as well::
<Lady_Angela> ::nahhh..mun is fine with Angie. Just can’t handle others today.::
<SirMarkus> I’m afraid we are being sent to war. Kittingham has finally decided to attack us.
<DarkKnights> ((<Sir_Santo> ::is not to be outdone, has a Triangle Table since Markus has a Round one XD::))
<SirMarkus> :to the knights::
<SirMarkus> ((::dies!::))
<Lady_Angela> ::nods:: I will be there soon. I’ve a few more things to take care of.
<Lady_Angela> ((::DIIIES!::))
<SirMarkus> ((Mark> ::not to be outdone, gets an octagon one!::))
<DarkKnights> <Alexandria> ::bows and takes her leave::
<SirSanto> ::clears his throat:: MEN! Today is the dawn of a new era… an era without witchcraft! A era that will be born with the fall of Megalith City. Today we go to make preperations for war… ::weak speech as mum keeps bugging me for certain things::
<DarkKnights> ::s’okay! all give a cheer in agreement!:: <Steele> ::would give a worse speech XD but feels his would be better about how wonderful his leadership is and his long locks of hair shall not be messed up during the battle as he’ll be on his steed posing for the she-kats::
<SirMarkus> <Sir Jason> How long ’til they arrive? <Markus> I don’t know. BUt I rather we ride out now before they get here.
<Lady_Angela> ((::DIIIES!::))
<DarkKnights> <Lynx> And what of the castle?
<SirMarkus> Tabor will keep it surrounded. We are the opposition.
<DarkKnights> <Lynx> ::nods at that:: When shall we head out?
<SirMarkus> We ride out at dawn.
<DarkKnights> <Lynx> Any estimation of their troops?
<DarkKnights> <Elizabeth> ::another handmaiden to the queen, Swytch hehehehe approaches Lady Angela:: My lady… ::slight curtsie::
<SirSanto> I never lie to you. There will be losses… As this is an enermy with the dark arts standing beside it, dark arts that are filling our lands with hate and illfeeling… Dark arts which mock our very way of life… but we will be surviving. WE WILL BE JUST AND WE WILL BE VICTORIOUS!!!
<SirMarkus> <Sir Jason> Lots. ::smirking::
<Lady_Angela> ;;bows her head slighly:: elizabeth.
<DarkKnights> Here here! ::yell and raise their swords in the air!:: <Steele> ::yawns and twirls his sword around, nearly cutting a hole in his cape::
<DarkKnights> <Elizabeth> I hear we are at war… I will need to purchase some ingredients for magic spells to fight the enemy. Will you grant me the use of some of the queen’s treasury?
<DarkKnights> <Lynx> How comforting. ::shakes head but smiles::
<SirSanto> ::in the same voice:: AND THE SECOND I SEE YOU PLAYING WITH YOUR WEAPON AGAIN SIR STEELE, YOU’LL BE AHEAD OF THE NEXT ASSUALT… WITHOUT ARMOUR! ::Snarls, yes I can see you playing! And I ain’t happy::
<Lady_Angela> ::shakes head:: I’m afraid I cannot. Her majesty has said no magic at all. That is why we are being attacked. They believe we used dark magic, so her majesty wants all magics to stay in the castle and not use their magic.
<SirMarkus> Get enough rest tonight. We’re going to need it. ::stands:: See you in the morning.
<DarkKnights> <Steele> ::erk! drops his sword:: <others> ::snicker at him::
<DarkKnights> <Elizabeth> ::frowns:: Magic in defense is not dark magic and will not prove anything but be our downfall.
<SirMarkus> <Sir Jason> ::heads out with them::
<SirSanto> ::stare at his men:: Your weapon… it is your Life! Without it, you are dead! Treat it with respect! Or I will make you respect it!
<Lady_Angela> Well..speak with her majesty on the matter then. I cannot go against her wishes. I’m sorry.
<DarkKnights> <Lynx> ::nods and heads on out as well::
<DarkKnights> <Elizabeth> Heh… perhaps I will. ::bows and moves along. grinning after she’s gone from Angela::
<DarkKnights> ::all nod:: Aye, sir Santo! <Steele> ::picking up his sword, glowering::
<Lady_Angela> ::watching her go! shakes head and goes to her room! wanting to prepare some things herself for the coming battle::
<SirMarkus> ::walks out heading to the kitchen, runs into Angela?::
<Lady_Angela> ::shuas! can run into him!::
<SirMarkus> Milady?
<Lady_Angela> ::pauses! bowing slightly:: good sir. I take it you have prepared the others?
<SirSanto> Now I want 50 men to stand ready… the Queen soon releases a order to the people. A Call to arms. These 50 will be assigned the task of getting the word out to every farmer, even miller, every kat in our realm, that we ready for war! ::goes to whisper in Steele’s ear:: Prove yourself in this war Steele and I won’t look for reason to have you hung ::yeah I don’t like you, but I’m giving you and chance ^^::
<SirMarkus> We have. Is the kingdrom ready?
<Lady_Angela> Yes. They are preparing and word is spreading quickly.
<SirMarkus> Good. ::soft smile at her:: Will you be alright?
<Lady_Angela> ::small smile back:: I will have to be. I will stay with her majesty in the throne room when the time comes. To protect her.
<SirMarkus> ::nods: Very well. ::bows:: Goodnight, Milady.
<Lady_Angela> ::bows back. pausing:: you….are going to bed right now?
<SirMarkus> I am. We all are. we need rest to prepare for the battle.
<Lady_Angela> ::nods:: Very well. Though….would you mind coming ot check something for me?
<DarkKnights> <Steele> ::nodsnodsnods XD:: <others> Aye! ::50 of them disperse to do this task:: <queen’s advisor> ::comes out to speak with Sir Santo. issa she-kat who resembles Swytch XD quietly to him:: Sir Santo… ::slight bow:: The queen wishes to speak with you if you have finished here.
<SirSanto> … ::nods:: Of course, Advisor… lead on
<SirMarkus> (BRBRQ!))
* DarkKnights is now known as Queen_Josalyn
<Queen_Josalyn> <Advisor> ::leads him to the queen’s study:: She waits for you within. ::bows and backs away then turns and goes ’round corner of the hallway::
<SirMarkus> ;:blinks:: Of course. ::goes with her;:
<SirSanto> ::watches her leave… confused tas to why the queens has summomed him to a second meeting:: … My queen? ::knocks on the door::
<SirSanto> ((WB))
<SirMarkus> ((Hankies! XD))
<Queen_Josalyn> ((LOL!))
<Queen_Josalyn> Enter!
<Lady_Angela> ((WB!))
<Lady_Angela> ::will lead him to her room! going inside and goes pull out an old sword, handing it over:: would you mind…checking this for me? It..was my father.
<Lady_Angela> ((^father’s))
<SirMarkus> :takes it gingerly, looking it over. Checks for any cracks and whatnot:: Tis a perfect sword, milady.
<Queen_Josalyn> ((<Mark> … it was your father? <Angela> ::nods:: He was turned into a sword. <Mark> ::wonders if they DO use Dark Magic around here…::))
<Lady_Angela> :;nods:: Good…I hope I do not have ot use it but..just in case…
<Lady_Angela> ((::DIIIES!:))
<SirSanto> ((LOL))
<SirMarkus> ((<Sword> ::starts singing!:: <Mark> I’m convinced.))
<SirMarkus> ::nods:: We’ll do what it takes to protect the kingdom, milady. I have the best knights in all of Megalith.
<Lady_Angela> I know. Still….::bites at her lip:: Be careful..please. I want to see you all return safely.
<SirMarkus> … ::softly:: If I have to die protecting you, I will.
<Queen_Josalyn> ((::dies!::))
<Lady_Angela> Well..I hope that is one promise you don’t have to keep..
<SirSanto> ((<Dave> Why is it even the swords sing better than Sir Cameron? <CAm> I ain’t that BAD!… you felines just got no taste))
<SirMarkus> ((<Sword> ::singing:: Cos’ it’s witchcraaaaaft, and although I knoooooow it’s strictly tabboooooooooooooo….))
<Lady_Angela> ((::DIIIIES!::))
<Queen_Josalyn> ((::laughs y’all!::))
<SirMarkus> ((::dies!::))
<Queen_Josalyn> Enter!!
<SirSanto> ((DIES))
<SirMarkus> ::soft chuckle:: Then keep your chin up. ::reaching over to gently tilt her face upwards;: You’ll be safe.
<Lady_Angela> ::lets him! smiles softly:: I know I will be. You’ll be out there.
<SirSanto> … ::pushes the door open and walks in, head bowed and then shuts the door before bowing completely:: You called for me, my Queen?
<SirMarkus> ::chuckles again, then lets her go:: You have a good night, milady.
<Queen_Josalyn> Yes I did. ::sitting at one of two chairs by a fireplace:: Come, sit with me a moment.
<Lady_Angela> You too. Rest well.
<SirMarkus> I will. ::leaves before he does anything else. DOesn’t want to fall for her ‘lest he dies in battle;:
<Lady_Angela> ::aww so sweet! will close the door behind him! ::
<SirMarkus> ::heads to his quarters!::
<SirSanto> ::looks up and blinks… sit with the queen? Why in the realm would he be asked to be so informal?:: I obay you without question my queen ::goes to be sitted next to her, blushing::
<Queen_Josalyn> I have heard from a reliable source that the Queen will not be using magic for defense.
<SirSanto> … My Queen? Where does this information come from?
<SirSanto> ::very confused by that::
<Queen_Josalyn> ::smiles sweetly at him:: I have spies within Megalith, Sir Santo.
<SirMarkus> ::then can’t sleep! So goes out into the garden::
<SirSanto> … ::frowns and thinks:: Why do they not use their main strenght?
<Lady_Angela> ::can’t either! is worried so goes out to sit on the balcony! noting him so will waaatch him XD::
<Queen_Josalyn> ((<Callista> Since you won’t attach yourself to anyone, I have a plan! Woo Queen Josalyn and get her to stop this war. <Mark> A suicide mission… you are crul, my Queen. <Angela> ::offs Callista so Mark won’t have to go!::))
<SirMarkus> Couldn’t sleep either, milady?
<SirMarkus> ((::DEAD!::))
<Lady_Angela> ((::DIIIES!::))
<Lady_Angela> Nay. You couldn’t either? ::looking down there to him!::
<SirMarkus> ((oy. BRB. Again. ><))
<Queen_Josalyn> They say they wish to prove that they do not need it. I think they cannot help themselves. When we are at her door, she will cave in and use her magic, I am sure of it.
<SirSanto> ((DEADS))
<SirSanto> ((kay ^^))
<SirMarkus> No, I couldn’t.
<SirMarkus> ((back. ))
<Queen_Josalyn> ((wb!))
<Lady_Angela> ((WB!))
<Lady_Angela> Would you like me to join you?
<SirSanto> … ::nods:: and that will be when we are at our weakest, once we leave our catapultes, rams and seiged arrows at the castle walls
<SirMarkus> If you wish.
<SirSanto> ((WB))
<Lady_Angela> Give me a moment. ::will leave the balcony! reappearing down in the garden soon! going out to him:: I guess we have a lot on our mind.
<SirMarkus> We do.
<Lady_Angela> ::will walk with him:: I hope everything will be alright. I’m sure it will be but…still….
<SirMarkus> Yuo worry again/
<Lady_Angela> Of course. Its what I do. ::smiles a bit::
<Queen_Josalyn> You know… we must get the queen before she can use her powers against us.
<SirMarkus> ::reaches over to take her hand gently::
<SirSanto> … then might I suggest you send a lone assassin?
<Lady_Angela> ::blinks, though lets him!;; Come back safe, sir Markus. Promise me that…
<Queen_Josalyn> ::grins:: Who should I send?
<SirMarkus> ::sighs: I can’t hold that promise, milady.
<Lady_Angela> ::nods:: I understand….
<SirSanto> … However much it distains me to say it, there is one former knight with the raining for such a task ::frowns:: And I’m sure if given a pardon he would go and act as a 3rd party
<SirMarkus> ::stops and tugs her into a hug, wrapping his cloak around her, too;:
<Lady_Angela> ::is tugged and hugs him back! wrapping her arms around him::
<SirMarkus> ::rests his head on top of hers: I’ll do what it takes, milady.
<Queen_Josalyn> … former knight? Tell me who this is? If you feel he is capable for the task then he will get my pardon.
<SirSanto> Sir Parkyn…
<Lady_Angela> ::nods:: I know you will. If you return safely…perhaps…we can do this more often. See each other that is.
<Queen_Josalyn> Sir Parkyn…? Very well then. I shall write up his pardon. ::stands and heads over to a desk, taking up a quill and piece of parchment to begin writing::
<SirMarkus> You’d… want to?
<Lady_Angela> If you do. I would like it very much.
<SirMarkus> ((<Josalyn> ::has more execution parchments than pardon parchments. In fact…:: Wow. The last one. He’s a lucky guy.))
<SirSanto> So easierly My Queen? What of his dabbling in dark arts…
<SirSanto> ((DIESS))
<Queen_Josalyn> ((::dead!!::))
<Lady_Angela> ((::diiies!::))
<SirMarkus> Then you just gave me another reason to return alive.
<Lady_Angela> ::smiles a bit. looks up to him and wil try to give him a kiss!::
<Queen_Josalyn> Oh… well what better way to deal with magic than let them deal with it themselves? ::continues writing::
<SirSanto> ((anyone wanna know Cam? Dave doesn’t move in banished kat circels::
<SirMarkus> :returns it::
<Lady_Angela> ::whooo! leans back to look up at him::
<SirMarkus> :smiles some at her, just holds her from there::
