[i]Noon. In the distance off the coast of the Dojo...[/i]
Several large ships each sporting black sails approach the coast.
They will land soon, within an hour most likely.
As they draw near large white Irish crosses can be made out on their sails, each with a Trinity Knot in the middle.
The ships appear to be galleases, armed with what look to be ancient blackpowder cannons.
The crews are made up of knights, all in full armor, their surcoats matching the sails.
As they land they appear to be weary, each leaping into the smaller boast carefully as they paddle towards the shore.
Once on the beach, they fan out. Several men armed with odd, glowing crossbows stand guard over the boats while the knights, armed with swords and axes, begin to explore the beach.
Several head for the hill on which you stood, watching.

"Hmm i wonder who they could be lola"says talath "Not clue but be on your guard just to be safe talath"says lola [i]the pair just watched being cautious but not attacking as they approachef the hill. Talath was much taller and muscular than lola as he had the build of a linebacker. He had shaggy unkempted black that hung over his green eyes and he was covered in bluish gray scales. He stood a good six feet tall and on his back was jagged looking curved sword. It looked like it could cause some serious damage if one was hit by as it was a gift from his father who was a blacksmith who had dubbed appropriately dragon's bite. He was wearing a grey shirt and tan cargo shorts. Lola was much shorter as she stood a little more because her bluish green scales and her strange two different colored eyes. One of them was bluegray and the other was bright green. She had a slightly athletic build and her short 5'2" stature didn't make her very threatening but her friend knew better than to underestimate her. She was wearing a black t-shirt and polka dot pleated skirt that went to her knees. They decided to play the waiting game to see what they wanted.[/i] [spoiler]im gonna be busy tonight but i will reply when i can[/spoiler]

As the knights approach, Lola recognises their coats of arms to be the same as Mark's.
-
"Hmm that coat of arms looks familiar"she says "It does?"he asks "Yeah i ran into one them before he was pretty nice i helped him"she says "Oh okay then"he says [i]she was put at ease when she recognized it[/i]
-
Several of the knights approach their hill. At the head of them is Mark, his helmet is off.
-
[i]Lola waves at him when she sees him. Talath on the other hand doesn't he just stands there.[/i] "I see the guy i helped last time well actually aiyanna helped him but still"says lola "You know a lot people don't you lola?"says talath "I sure do talath"says lola
-
Mark waves back, turning to climb the hill.
-
[i]Lola and Talath both watch him climb the hill. Lola wondered what Mark was doing here this time. She hadn't seen him in a while.[/i]
-
He reaches the top and greets them. "Hail, Lola and friend." Mark greets, two other knights gollowing him. "How goes life?"
-
"I am doing well"says Lola "Hi my name is Talath"he says [i]Talath wonders who the man's friends are.[/i] "How about yourself?"she asks
-
"I am well. The Order sent me here to search for allies in these lands." Mark replies, then gestures to the other knights. "These are Sirs John Wesley and Albert of Nordia." He introduces.
-
"It's nice to you two as well."says Lola "Oh you are well this a good place for it"says Talath "It certainly is "says Lola
-
"Indeed... Do you known of any who woild join our cause?" He asks Lola.
-
"I would but i dont know how your friends would feel about a electricity charged dragon"says Lola "Actaully would be fun to see you join something too."says Talath
-
"Electricity? How strong is it?" Mark asks, raising an eyebrow.
-
"Strong enough to do this "says Lola "Lola don't you...."says talath cut mid sentence [i]she gtabs hold of Talath arm stunning him instantly. He stiffened up and fell over still breathing after letting out a string of curses. Lola chuckles a bit looking at him.[/i] "And wipe out of a entire city's power"says Lola [i]Talath eventually stands after 15 minutes.[/i] "Don't do that Lola"says Talath
-
Mark laughed. "Well, that could be useful. If you are willing to join our cause we'd be honoured."
-
"Yeah it sounds like a blast and could he tag along too? He is pretty skilled with a sword and he can make repairs to armor etc."says Lola "My pa is a blacksmith taught everything he knows and even made me this sword on my back"says Talath [i]he points to the sword on his back.[/i]
-
"I do not see why not. When would you wish to set off?" Mark asked them.
-
"Hmm whenever really i got nothing plan"says Talath "Yeah same here"says Lola
-
"You do not have ant belongings you wish to bring? The voyage may be several days, and you shall likely wish to stay many a day at the great castle." Mark says.
-
"Oh i know i have a spell that can shrink and grow things so i got like a week and a half worth of clothes pack in the bag im carrying so does he cause i taught him it"says Lola
-
"Amazing..." Mark chuckled, shaking his head slightly. "If ye are so inclined, you may follow me to the ships and we can be off."
-
"Mhm"says Lola [i]They both head that way.[/i]
-
Several of the crossbowmen shoot odd glances at them. One crosses himself. Mark glares at said crossbowman and says something in a strange language. The men shut up and back off as he gestures to the row boats. "Climb aboard and we shall be off."
-
[i]Lola notices but doesn't say anything clearly this hasn't her first being stared at. Talath doesn't really care at all.[/i]
