[b]Kross, Lord of Cinder, stood in the middle of the arena, spinning around as the head of Knight rolled across the ground.
His blades Clashed with those of a second Knight, and Kross was kicked backwards.
He grunted as he took a step back, and sliced the Knight's throat open with His own blade
The Knight fell to his knees, and the simulation came to an end as Royal entered the arena [/b]
"Kross?"
[i]"What do you wish from me Roy?" [/i]
"I just want to talk... You've been. Distant."
[i]"I murdered Watcher. I am entitled to a rest, am I not?" [/i]
"Yeah-"
[i]"Then leave. I do not wish to speak of anything regarding to my problems as you refer to them." [/i]
"Is this what Hawkwood would want? For you t-"
[i]"Do not say his name. You have no right to say his name. I became his friend. His brother in arms! Then I killed him. The way I killed Watcher. The way I killed the Firekeeper. The way I Killed Aldrich, and Pontiff! I am becoming a monster! Don't you see?" [/i]
"If we spend our time fighting monsters, looking through their eyes. It's bound to happen that we become the-"
[b]Before Royal could finish, Kross' blade was exiting his back [/b]
[i]"Do not speak to me, of being a monster...." [/i]
[b]Kross with drew his blade and sheathed it, while walking off.
Royal fell to his knees, his vision blurring as Kross exited the arena, and disappeared. [/b]
[spoiler]OPEN! The beginnings of a plot! [/spoiler]

A familiar voice calls to Royal, "You got yourself intro trouble?" The Huntress stepped up behind him, clad in winter colors. "I could have sis patch you up. But where is she?"
-
[Spoiler]Before we do anything a few warnings Your characters have a low chance of death. Permanent death. No matter the fact that they're guardians. [/spoiler]

[spoiler]Sometimes, you gotta kill people to make a plot interesting[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Excellent! Then here we go... [/spoiler] [b]Royal nodded slightly, his wound bleeding heavily [/b]
-
The Huntress ripped off her cloak, and dressed Royals wound, "Lucky I found ya when I did." She applies pressure to both sides of the stab wound.
-
"Guess you're right..." [b]Before either could react, Mia was sent skidding backwards across the ground as a Knight with a blume plume extending from his helmet appeared besides Royal [/b] [b][i][u]Artorias, The Abysswalker [/u][/i][/b]
-
"What the...?" Mia muttered under her breath. She pulled out her sniper and aimed for the helmet. She pulled the trigger.
-
[b]With a resounding boom, the two were gone, and the bullet found itself buried in the wall of the arena. With the gunshot, two men approached Mia from behind [/b]
-
She put her sniper on her pack, drawing her pistol, and her back up sidearm and aimed one at each man.
-
[b]The men were, Nathaniel, The Dragonslayer Slayer, and Iskandar, King of Conquerors [/b] "Woah now. Let's not get violent?"

Edited by Splashback77: 2/19/2017 7:19:05 AMThe Huntress put the Last Word in its holster, and the sidearm at her belt, "Sorry, natural reaction."
-
"What the hell happened here?"
-
"Someone stabbed your bud' Royal," She explained, "I used my cloak to dress his wounds, and I got knocked back by I knight. The two disappeared."
-
"Someone? Can you describe him?"
-
"All I remember is the blue Mohawk atop his helmet."
-
"Artorias..." [i]"It can't be! The Abysswalker is gone." [/i] "This was supposed to happen, much much later."
-
"WAKE UP! Your prophecy's happening now. We need to track 'em down," Mia said.
-
"Shit, shit." [b]Nathaniel started pacing [/b] "If we allow Kross to fall into the Bloodlust, there is no telling what will happen."
-
"My guess is, that can't happen. Or so many deaths will," Mia said.
-
"Exactly! But we can't combat him without help."
-
"Don't worry. I always got sis on speed dial. Then you know who's gonna chase her. Someone's gonna [i]Chase[/i] the chaser."
-
"Not just her. I'll need to send a message to Roy's Legion of the troops. Hopefully some will respond."
-
"Still. She knows a lot of people. They can help," Mia said, "I'll find her and get back to you."
-
"Alright. We'll be at Dojo Guard headquarters." [spoiler]End [/spoiler]

Vince entered the room, planning to do some training. "Royal!? What happened?!" He ran to the man's side.
