"SAVE THE PRINCE!" (Knights)
*GANG*
The sound of the gun going off froze all the knights and the assassins in place staring in the direction of where the sound came from. *THUD* Both Knights and assassins scan between the newcomers and the dead assassin. Unlike the knights the assassins quickly decided that the newcomers were a much larger threat and decided to turn and finish them off.
"It's just a few more people, quickly kill them so we can finish the prince." (Assassin)
The assassins all begin to charge Axel and his squad, basically lining themselves across from each member of Axels.
"Sorry to say assassins you made a huge mistake coming across us today. Fire! Do not hit the knights." (Axel)
*Numerous BANGS*
P.O.V. Prince
*Why now?" (Prince)
I fought desperately against 2 assassins the best I could eventually receiving a blow to my leg. I close my eyes falling to my knees believing today will be the last day I breathe. I returned home believing I could see father who took a life threatening injury in the last battle against Brittleback Kingdom. We were able to keep it under wraps and sign a temporary peace treaty giving away some land. Now I fear the worst. I was attacked by assassins so close to the Capital. Meaning Father already died and my elder brother has stolen the throne.
I have so many regrets, I never have an interest in the throne, I just wanted to live peacefully at the edge of the kingdom. Where I've been with my knights, without power you cannot have peace. I should have listened to my father and built my focus. A mere 30 knights wouldn't be enough to save the kingdom now. Father Mother....I Love You.
"SAVE THE PRINCE!" (Knights)
*BANG*
I open my eyes to see the assassin that was about to finish me fall over dead. My eyes shot over to where the long sound came from to see a group of around 10 people in odd clothing carry strange metal sticks. Is that metal stick the thing that made the loud sound and kill the assassin? I see the battle between my knights and assassins have completely stopped.
"It's just a few more people, quickly kill them so we can finish the prince." (Assassin)
Damn, innocent people just got caught in a battle for the throne. I'm sorry I wasn't strong enough to prevent this. The words of the new group surprised me.
"Sorry to say assassins you made a huge mistake coming across us today. Fire! Do not hit the knights." (Axel)
The assassins died...in seconds...what kind of power are these people holding....mages? No? But what is it? Are they here to kill me? But they just saved me? What is their goal?
Meanwhile the remaining 4 knights surround the Prince preventing anyone from getting near as Axel's group slowly walks over. Slowly circling the Prince and his knights. At this point the Prince finally stands up putting a "professional" look on.
"I truly owe you my thanks, as Prince Henry of the Creekside Kingdom I shall reward you, serve me and i shall lead you to a greater future." (Henry)
Axel and his squads look at each other and all begin laughing. Who does this guy think he is? Telling the commander to serve him. What level of stupid is this?
P.O.V. Axel
"Oh? Your a Prince of the Creekside Kingdom, considering you also got assassinated in your own territory so close to the capital would mean it was a inside job. That being said you no longer hold power within this Kingdom. Your promise means nothing, and even if it did I would not serve you." (Axel)
Clearly mocking the Prince you could see the anger in all of the Knights eyes. Being surrounded by an unknown group with an unknown power, is making them all cautious, because whatever they do would decide the fate of the Prince at this time.
"Have your Knights lower their weapons, so we may talk." (Axel)
"Lower your weapons." (Prince)
"Well now, with the troublesome stuff out of the way. I'm Axel Commander of IronHide. Oh, yes I know you don't know or have heard of us, and the answer to the reason is pretty simple because no one who has seen us before has lived."(Axel)
At the words of Axel you can see how all the Knights and Prince flinch to his words. A group who processes such strength of instantly defeating the assassins, that is able to keep hidden. Would be a scary enemy to have.
"I have literally one purpose as to why I didn't kill you and depending how you answer it could be your last breath, our purpose here is the removal of the Creekside Kingdom, however the details on how we do it is not confirmed. So, let me ask you this if we were to go into your capital and kill your mages would another kingdom decide to attack you." (Axel)
"Kill our mages? Are you being serious? Of course another kingdom would attack and Creekside would no longer exist." (Henry)
Axel just says silent and smiles
"What is your goal? Who do you work for?" (Henry)
"Chaos and ourselves, we are gonna plunge this world into chaos and rebuild it to match our needs. The weak get preyed on, the system is corrupt. So our final chaos is to bring destruction and rebuild only through war can we grow." (Axel)
"So you want to create your own kingdom, and you'll use Creekside as a starting point?" (Henry)
"So we exist to destroy and fight, we will rid the world of the mages and society will begin to change." (Axel)
"So what are you gonna turn every kingdom against you? What of your men? Do their deaths mean nothing?" (Henry)
For the first time Axel was unsure how to answer, he looked over to his summon knowing that no matter what happened they would be fine since he could summon them again. Then his eyes landed on Maple and the humans from this world. Considering what Prince Henry has said for a few minutes.
"The world is unfair." (Axel)
