He had not been summoned.

That, of course, didn't mean he wasn't tipped off by the sparse population leaving the streets barren and the gathering of adventurers converging in one point.

Alpha sits on the roof of the building where everything is occurring, never appearing to the sight of those inside. A powerful warrior he may well be, but his status as leader of the Twilight Guardians always does seem to be getting in the way of his employment by the forces of Order. 'Pfft, as if I care what those 'Orderlies' think.' He shakes his head in frustration, willing himself to listen more carefully as many of the adventurers he has encountered before enter into the chambers and speak with Kasei and several of the other generals.

'A little while ago, Noval would have been one of those Generals.' He shakes his head, trying not to think about that. Revealed as the Golden Hylian, Richarn Noval has much more power than at his disposal than as a mere Hylian Knight. Technically, he's out of the loop politically; in actuality he's just that much more powerful now that he doesn't have to be secretive. But it's for the best this way, no doubt; Noval would likely have been here as an invitee if it wouldn't endanger the people of Hyrule, but him interacting with the Knights by anything more than chance may very easily arouse the Hakiems' suspicion.

Then the news strikes. "Assemble the Fifth Division, the hoards of darkness are on the move, they mean to take out Rauru town!"

The Sheikah's eyes widen as he immediately moves to depart. 'I should assemble the other Twilight Guardians . . .' He frowns. 'If I only knew where they all are these days . . .' Well, regardless, he'll at least grab Noval, and Shada will certainly be wanting to jump into the fight. Maybe Calla will have recovered enough from the injuries she sustained fighting the Hakiems and Sovelis, and he'll be able to tear Koura away from her bedside position. He leaps away, knowing that if they leave at once they can arrive in Rauru before even the Knights do.

OOC: Hi "^_^... Kasei said to check this out, so I did. So I'm gonna do the same sort of thing Julian did back in Castle Liberation at the beginning; Ignore it, since it's one post, but I'd just like to try it out again. It's not like I'm an Exile... (remembers Nogare the Exile...) >.>.... Not out of character, I mean...

IC: His saphire eyes gleamed as the various men ran around. He looked at the scene with half the stress, and twice as prepared. He held his weapon with strong hands, and prayed in the Ancient Hylian language as he sprinted up the stairs leading to the wall, skipping them by twos.

But despite his preparation, he was worried. Would this be a mere invasion like the rest, with perhaps a thousand moblins, or would it be more like an invasion with the most terrifying and deadly monsters that could cost the entire city. It wasn't the fear that made his free hand's fingers twitch. He could handle a fireball tossed at his face, or a cut to the ribs. He could tolerate with such. But could the others?

As the knight of his battalion, he, though they were below awaiting his orders (he hadn't said to accompany him atop the wall) he would be sure that his men were not utterly spent with a rock from a trebuchet or a volley of arrows. His men were for melee fighting. Pikemen. They could attack the enemy close up, hopefully with an ambush from around a building should they breech the city gates and crumble the steel portcullis. He only hoped that it would not come to that. But it may...

He crouched behind a portion of the wall. Don't worry... I'll keep my promise... he thought to himself, imagining his girlfriend would hear him. He peered over, and looked over the view...

... And he swore sharply, realizing that he may not be able to keep the promise...

OOC: There ^_^. Review, give me a rating, feedback, and don't read it and be bias like a mom and dad! Be honest. Crap? Incredibility? Say why. And additionally, I've made it so there can be two paths for the dude: this could be some ordinary dude, simply a Hylian Knight with an unreal level of courage. Or he could be our good ol' buddy Nogare ^_^. Didn't say who it was. Make you choice Kasei, he's yours to be! Name him, be him. Just don't let him die if he's Nogare. If he isn't, let him die however you want him, or let him live and overlook the fight at the end . Die in vain or honour, live with regret or pride - totally up to you . CHOOSE!!
-Jim/Nogare

Burlo, who had shot off to the medical tents immediately after receiving his commands, darted back to the main assembly, harried by the announcement. "What should I do, Gen'ral?" He shouted out, torn between his healing work and his desire to protect any others from being injured as well. As he waited for an answer, a large figure milled about near the edge of the crowd.

The large Goron stood silently, staring at the general. He had been ordered here by his boss. He remembered the Deku's words clearly--"If they die, how will we make our business? Besides, we can't let anybody else become more powerful than us, now can we?" He knew the last part of the statement was useless--He already knew that his troupe was undermanned and greatly outpowered. However, the first point was a valid one, and he didn't really have a say in the matter anyways. Sighing, he watched the preparations being made to roll out to Rauru, the grip on his mace tightening slightly.

OOC: Alpha, Saber, Nogare, thank you for posting, we can now officially begin this war!

IC: Kasei turned as Leon left ahead of the troops. Taimat was not concerned by such matters. A whole regiment had already formed, their shields held high, spears in their hands, swords at their waists. Every thirty men out of 500 rode on horseback, they made their way to the drawbridge, marching, ready for war.

Taimat turned to Kasei. Kasei faced him. "I will not take part, not in this battle, I have things I must still resolve here." The Rebel Flame said, Taimat only nodding in understanding. The General turned to Simon. "That is fine, get into line, were leaving now." He said, turning to Sakiko. "Then you, as well, should join into the ranks. Grab a spear and a shield, and have a sword in case. Now we march to war." He orderered calmly.

As this happened, Kasei turned to look upwards. He had already sensed it; Alpha. "Well, well..." He muttered to himself, but turning back to the table before him. As he did so, he spotted someone approach. It was Nogare, the Son of Grayblade. Kasei stood tall, and beckoned the exile over.

He came. "Well, what is your buiseness here in this time of war?" Kasei asked, noticing Nogare's loose grip on his staff. The Exile looked at him with contempt. "It is not any of your concern, but I will be aiding Hyrule...for now." The Hylian legend said, his grip tightening. "So be it." Was the simple reply he recieved. A small hand grabbed the Exile's own. It was Aria, Kasei's grandoughter. The young shiekah looked up at Nogare intently for a moment, but soon let go, and headed off, to see the troops off.

Taimat once more turned to Burlo. "We will need healers in this conflict. Stay behind the fourth rank, and try to stay out of the main conflict. Keep yourself alive so you can aid others. A healer is no good dead." He said, grabbing the reigns of a horse brought to him. "All men under my command, now! Go! For the good of Hyrule!" He called to the remaining men getting into rank, his horse galloped ahead. The first battle was about to begin...

OOC: Nice, I liked it myself. I shall have the first fight up either tonight or tomorrow, depending on what exactly happens in the other meeting. Be prepared.

Also: I would like all characters to not act all high-and-mighty. This is not a stat battle, but I would not like everyone here to start slaughtering hundreds of enemies at once with super-spells. (Looks up at Alpha.)

Ooc: You might want to wrap up the mines.

IC: Silna returned a few moments later in casual form and out of breath. With her was Bingo, Valentine, Remos, and Gavin. Phil was already in the knights's ranks that were going to Rauru Town. Everyone of them were fully equipped. They were ready to go.

OoC - I'm guessing I'm a spy then?

IC - "Jeromy, I think you would be a better spy than me." Kamiko told her hylian friend.

"are you sure Kamiko?" Jeromy questioned.

"You were there when her father nearly killed her and seen the whole thing, right?" Josh asked Jeromy.

"Yes, but I was asleep in a tree untill I awoke to the noise." Jeromy admitted

"And you weren't seen?" Was Josh's next question.

"No." Jeromy answered this time

"Lastly, out of you and Kamiko who can stay in one place for a long period of time?" Josh asked jeromy.

"Fine, I'll do it." Jeromy finaly said knowing he was beaten by Josh, the zora, again and walked off towards Orpheous.

"That leaves just you, James, and I." Hey where is James anyways?" Kamiko said.

"Apun hearing this James flew over to Kamiko and said "I right hear." He then looked over at Jeromy and asked in kamikos general direction; Were's Jeromy going?"

"He's going to be a spy." Josh said.

"I know about the upcoming war,I can help if needed." James said in hopes he could help.

"Hmmm. How about you be help out with stratagies." Josh saidwicking to Kamiko as to say it could work.

Kamiko nodded and said; "That sheikah over there, Kasei, I beleave they call him, I think he is one of the ones in charge here. Tell him that you want to help out. I'm sure He'll accept."

James flew over to Kasei and waited to ask him if he could help out.
