"O-okay." Bella said. Yuri looked around the area, and as soon as Can let the girl down they heard people yelling down the passage. They heard clashing of steel, and yells of pain.
"Cannon, there is no time to scout! The Tokage would have wiped everyone here out before they made their advance! We must go through the passage now!"
English
-
"Alright." Cannon began to move into the pass, sword ready.
-
As they crossed through the pass, Cannon in the lead with Yuri and Bella behind him, Can had to step over more bodies just to get through the narrow passage. There were green bodies, as well as purple and red. It was truly a war zone and if smelt of decay and iron. Cannon could feel Bella gripping the back of his cloak as she walked right behind him.
-
He pushed on, ignoring the corpses. He was a soldier, he had been through many battlefields like this amd worse.
-
The narrow path then began to become wider. As it did, the group began to descend down a slope. It was subtle, but it was there. Then, Cannon saw more light up ahead. He heard clashing, yelling and the sounds of dozens of bows letting loose arrows from their strings.
-
He hurried forward towards the battle. "Yuri, any idea where Ulfric would be?"
-
"I've never been here before, Cannon! I have no idea!" Yuri exclaimed as the two Tokage members rushed behind him. Then, he got the lay of the land. A massive sinkhole. There was a cliffside that went around the sides off the large cavern walls in the shape of a crescent moon. A massive village that was filled with finely built European like homes lined the cliffside. There were narrow streets that separated the buildings from one another. Most of the buildings looked the same, but there was a large three story home on the furthest left side atop a higher point of the ground. A long stone bridge went from one side of the moon shaped cliff to the other which connected both sides. However this entire rocky cliff seemed to be inside a large sinkhole. Sunlight shined down from the sky that came through the front of the village and illuminated the battle that unfolded. On the right side, Cannon saw the red and purple cloaked figures. They set up in buildings and covered chokepoints which prevented the green cloaks on the left side pushing forward. There were many more green cloaks then the Tokage, but the Tokage fortified very, very well. "This...oh boy." Yuri said as they stood on the edge of the battle. "Grenwalds on the left, Tokage on the right. How do you want to play this Cannon?"

Edited by Cannon011: 6/14/2017 5:34:41 PM"Run down the center? No... Maybe... You two search the Tokagr lines for Ulfric, I'll search for a way to get everyone's attention." He decided on the spot.
-
"Yes. Maybe Bella and I can convince Ulfric to retreat for the day. This is...suicidal!" "Ya! We can try! It'll work! Probably!" Bella said with confidence.
-
"He's probably somewhere where he can see all the fighting in order to give command, right?" Cannon looked around for anything he could use to get both sides' attention.
-
He couldn't really see anything. It was an old fashioned town after all. He could not see a church with a bell nor could he see cars with horns. "Yes, maybe in one of be buildings. I can try to explain everything to him but I doubt I alone can convince him to retreat! Bella will help of course but he will still want vengeance for hundreds of years of war!"
-
"Well from the looks of things, he's losing about as much as he's killing! We need to find him!"
-
"Yes! Absolutely!" Bella said as she looked to the right. "Hey, see the house right by the bridge?" She asked Cannon. He saw a larger home that was slightly more elevated then than the rest. It looked over the bridge and had windows that faced it. Can saw arrows whizzing out of the windows and penetrating any grenwalds that tried to make a push across the bridge. "It's a great position! It overlooks the bridge and has a higher platform! He should be there! Probably!!!" Bella exclaimed.
-
"Good eye, Bella! Let's go!" Cannon started towards the house.
-
The three made their way down the streets, but it was here that Cannons scars began to show. His arm was gone, he hadn't had anything to eat or drink and his other wounds began to sting and bruise.
-
Edited by Cannon011: 6/15/2017 2:32:13 AMHe moved slower as a result, gritting his teeth against the pain, in an attempt to not let it outwardly show.
-
Then, as they ran down the narrow streets, two green cloaked figures bashed through and blocked the threes path. They came from opposite homes on the side of the street and they both drew cutlasses and readied. "Tokage scum! You'll die! Don't think that having a child with you will make us shed sympathy!" The one on the left yelled.
-
Cannon limped to the front. "Unless you want to make an enemy of the dojo, let me and my friends pass." He ordered in his most commanding tone.
-
"The dojo? You think we'd fall for that?!" The right man asked. "You're cloak tells us a lot of who you are siding with ass hole!" "Men, please!" Yuri stated. "This man truly is a member of the dojo, while I AM a member of the Tokage. But I do not wish to fight you! Neither does the little one!"
-
"Step aside. You harm us and you'll have an army of modernly equipped soldiers here within twenty-four hours."
-
"Ya, right. We're just gunna let someone pass through here who happens to be holding one of our comrades blades?" He left man gestured to Cannons cutlass. "Peace my ass. You're just a religious nut who needs to be put down."
-
Cannon dropped the cutlass. "You want this war to end? Let us through."
-
"No one has to die anymore! Don't you see?! This entire war is silly! We can all just get along!" Bella exclaimed. Her words had actually seemed to faze the two warriors. "This war...it's really rather stupid." The left Grenwald said. "But we were born into it. It's in our blood. How do we not know you three will just pass through here, make contact with your people and then fight against us?" "Come with us." Yuri suddenly said. "The only way to bring peace is for Tokage and Grenwald to be seen united."
-
Cannon nodded in agreement with Yuri. He was beginning to think ruabing into this with his injuries was a vert [i]very[/i] bad idea.
-
"What?!" One of them asked. "Walk into the Tokage lines? With YOU? How do we know you aren't just going to turn us over?!"
-
Cannon leaned on the sword he'd dropped, which was sticking point down in the dirt. He was begining to wonder if this was all worth an arm as his head began to swim from the varies injuries.
