[~hmmm possibly, I''m not even sure what Eviz is thinking about doing to/with Hector yet though XP]

((Me neither. Just making suggestions. *shrug* ... *squee* So much fun! To the next day! ))

Hector walked over to her desk and opened a bird cage with a beautiful messenger bird in it. She chanted a small spell and tied a message she had written for the prince to the bird's leg. Then, she let the bird out the window as it flied off to the palace. For a moment, she looked up, staring at the moon like the damsel she was, but she quickly snapped out of it and walked over to her bed. Hector took off her corset and went to sleep, feeling safe that John was guarding the door. It bothered her a little bit that he would go through such lengths, but she knew she couldn't convince him out of it. The next morning, she woke up drooling against her window when she heard several taps at the window. In a bit of a daze, she walked over to the window, opening it and letting the bird from that night in. It had a new message tied to it's foot from the prince. She removed the message as the bird crawled back into the cage. She opened up the message and began pacing back and forth as she read it.

[~i suppose I'll try using some magic whee ]

Eviz reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a vile, inside was a plasma like goo that hovered in the center of the vile. Eviz grasped the vile as it shun brightly, as the light began to die down he walked out of his tent.

Morning came and Eviz was just arriving at his tent, part of his jacket had been torn but other then that he was in perfect shape. He began to pack away his things, he was always ready for whenever they would have to leave.

The airship descended slowly, the terrain was flat so it would be easy to make the landing. "thank you captain, I'll send out a beacon when i have finished" Cedric stepped out of the ship. He watched it return into the sky.
Cedric looked off into the distance, it had been so long since he had been here, his own home, Norra.

[~time to make things interesting XD]

Hector tossed her orders onto the table before pulling the curtain over the window and lighting a few of the lanterns. She spent an hour doing morning exorcise before washed up. After leaving the small bathroom, she sung towards the bird as she got dressed, putting on a clean chest binding corset. She made sure to make it tight at the top and not as much at the bottom in order that her body looked natural. "Damn thing..." She muttered as she tied the bow and put on a shirt, underwear, pants, and jacket. She turned and looked back at the letter in thought when suddenly, John knocked on the door. "What is it?" She asked.

"The morning meeting is in a half an hour. Time to wash up." He told her.

"I'm already cleaned up. Go ahead and get dressed. I'll sneak us some breakfast." She told him, opening the door.

"Yes, my lord." He replied in a chipper mood, sweaty from his own morning exorcises from doing PT with the other men.

Hector could never understand how he could sleep in such an uncomfortable place and still wake up so happy. Still, that was no matter to her. She left towards the back of the mess hall to sneak out some food without people noticing. She didn't want to attract a crowd that early in the morning.  

[Smells-Like-A-Cookie]

Eviz walked into the mess hall, eating was a necessity after all. It seemed like most of the soldiers there had just gotten through there exercise. he caught something moving from the corner of his eye, he turned and saw a short figure, he snickered, there was only one person that short around here. Eviz ignored it and finished his muffin.

Cedric had made it past the empty field into what seemed like a never ending forest. He could swear the further in he went the louder the strange noises got. He realized that those weren't naturally made sounds, somebody was in these woods, and there were a lot of them, he would have to tread carefully.  

[lil_lollypop1]

'Crap' Hector thought as people began flooding into the mess hall. She stuffed the muffin into her mouth while holding a plate of food and two bottled drinks. She quickly tried to slip out the back door without anyone noticing.

"H-hey, was that Hector?" A man said.
"What? Where?" Another asked.
"Must have been your imagination. John always delivers food to the commander.  

[Smells-Like-A-Cookie]

Eviz ignored the soldiers running trying to catch a glimpse of Hector, it seemed a bit childish to him. He walked out of the mess hall and once again he caught Hector running by trying to avoid everyone.

Cedric tried to make his way through the woods but no matter what path he took he kept getting closer to the what now sounded like a larger group of people.
He forced himself past the large bush, he froze when he saw what was in front of him, it was a camp, a military camp. 'crap...' he thought to himself. thankfully everybody seemed to be occupied elsewhere so he wasn't noticed.  

[lil_lollypop1]

Hector suddenly stopped in her tracks as she approached her quarters. She turned her head, seeing foreign people walking in the forest. 'An ambush?!' She thought with alarm. She rushed inside her air ship and got John. "Quick, get two platoons and sweep the forest. We have visitors." She ordered as John was straitening up his jacket. She grabbed her sword and two pistols before heading out the door to check it out by herself.

"What?" He asked, as Hector was already out the door. A moment later, John rushed out the door and seeing Hectors footprints, swore under his breath. He rushed to the mess hall and quickly called for the platoons.  

[Smells-Like-A-Cookie]

Cedric got out of the camp, hopefully unnoticed. Who's troops were those? he kept thinking to himself. he needed to get out of the woods as quickly as he could, but at the moment he was completely lost.

Eviz returned to his tent, it seemed like they still hadn't received any orders, supposed he should relax until then.

[~sorry, had to get something to eat >.>]  

[lil_lollypop1]

((That's ok.))

Hector quickly made her way through the forest, spotting several men as she stayed hidden. She listened to their accents with some surprise. 'Hannon men...' She thought. 'To bad this isn't Norran territory anymore.' She thought, lifting her family ring and saying a few chants. Two of the men fell over into a deep sleep, and Hector felt a little out of breath. 'Ok, that should be enough to interrogate.' she thought, waiting for the platoons to appear.

Quickly and with stealth, John led the two armed platoons to began their search. In no time at all, they already came across three lost Hannon soldiers standing around and trying to get back.  

[Smells-Like-A-Cookie]

Cedric escaped the dense woods, thankfully he ended up on a path that surely led into town.
At last he reached a town, it wasn't much, especially when compared to most of the cities in Norra. The houses were sturdy and seemed new but that was really all there was to this town. He got directions, it was only a few miles west from here, he was almost there...

Evis had been following the platoons but had lost them after going deeper into the brush. He walked around aimlessly for minutes when he spotted someone, he came from behind so he couldn't see their face, but the figure he recognized, a wicked smile grew on his face, he reached up and clasped his chest.
A strange sound came from deep within the woods, it started to get closer and closer to Hector.

[~time to mess with Hector emotion_dowant ]
 

[lil_lollypop1]

((Oh goodness... >.< ))

Hector breathed deeply, gripping her chest. It was hard to breath with the chest binder as it was, but now more so. She heard some noises from afar and some strange sounds, but it made her feel good. It meant the platoons she ordered were coming. She simply sat back against a tree, watching the two men with her pistol in her left hand and sword in the other, waiting for John to find her like he always did.  

[Smells-Like-A-Cookie]

Evis couldn't help but keep smiling, he made sure he kept his distance from Hector, but either way he wouldn't be able to see him. His 'trick' was taking affect. He decided to push it a little further.
The sky began to turn dark, engulfing everything around Hector in the darkness, nothing would be visible at this point; The sound became louder, getting closer and closer, it became almost unearthly now.  

[lil_lollypop1]

Hector sat up with confusion for a moment before leaning back into her same spot. 'Magic...' She thought, calming her head. She listened to the unearthly sounds, knowing that someone was trying to frighten her. She almost wanted to laugh as she gripped her weapons, but she tried to focus on just breathing instead. She knew this tactic. It was one of her personal favorites for interrogating. Still, she didn't have the energy to make the magic backfire. She would simply wait for the caster to come so that she could shatter their willpower.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
