Blast from the Past: Arlen

The meeting of Blanca Tulipa and diconom rex, and their interactions up to the treaty of Aarlen, the end of the great war.
The road winds as the surrounding becomes more erratic. Forests quickly fade into plains dotted with small jungles. You suddenly find yourself walking with a woman. She is slightly taller than average and has short cut brown hair.

Blanca Tulipa

The dirt along her boots are a stark contrast to her otherwise well maintained armour.
The ground flows as you suddenly find yourself in a clearing containing a big rock. On top of that rock a young woman without hair is dozing in the sun.

As the brown haired woman approaches the woman on the rock sits up and stretches. She yawns, “So are you the next one sent to kill me?” She sais pulling out a large, curved sword from her belt satchel. The brown haired woman raises her eye, unperturbed by the sword coming out of the small satchel, but still uncertain, “I’m not sure… I guess I’m just wandering...” Suddenly the woman on the rock jumps forward and, faster than you thought possible, leans on the woman with the brown hair. “We are going to have so much fun little sister!”
You follow the road and soon realize that you know these Hills. You are on the hills on the outskirts of Aarlen. The brown haired woman is standing there drenched with sweat. In front of her a middle aged man is standing with a blade curved in the shape of a large question mark.

Diconom Rex

He smiles as he looks down at the deep gash on his chest. Her runs his finger over it, leaving behind unblemished skin. “You have gotten pretty little sis...” He sais as he puts his weapon into his satchel and starts walking towards a campsite. “You could take a younger body, then you might win every once in a while.” He turns his head by a full half turn, “Oh, but where would the fund be in that?”
“You blink and find yourself in the middle of a small town. The smell of fresh ash fills the air, accompanied by the crackling of burning wood. You see an old man standing in the street,

watching something. As you come closer you see the brown haired woman kneeling at the edge of a collapsed building. Inside you see the remains of a family, crushed as they were huddled together, hiding. “Sister...” The old man sais quietly ”Blanca...” The woman rounds on him, anger flaring in her eyes. “Is this what you wanted? All this chaos! All this death...” The man slowly turns around and surveys the destruction around him. “Every single person running through their lives, doing what they can with the little time they are give is such a wonderful thing. Especially humans. Their fear f death pushing them forward to love their life to the fullest. The utter chaos from them is magnificent.” He finally turns back to Blanca, for the first time with a frown. “This is what happens when gods interfere with mortals.”
Blanca Tulipa stands in the middle of the burned streets, waiting. Her armour has been religiously polished and she stands straighter than before. From inside one of the buildings the voice of a angry woman echoes. “You wanted to speak with us? From a building to your left Avelana Roseheart, followed by a middle aged man carrying a large staff comes forth

, a dimly glowing sword poking forth from his black robe. “Now that is something i would like to know...” Another voice calls from behind you. You turn around and see a man standing on the top of a ruined church. He has a enormous two handed sword slung around his back.

As he lets himself fall you can’t help but watch his muscles flex as he lands on the ground. He rights himself and sneers at Avelana and her companion. Avelana draws her sword, it erupting into an inferno just as her companion raises his staff, a black fog erupting from under his cloak in a black tsunami.
A snap fills the air and the fire and black mist disappears. Confused everyone except Blanca Tulipa looks around, seeing a little girl.

Avelana tries to say something but no sound comes out. “No,” The girl sais in a gruff voice, “It has been enough.” she snaps her fingers and a ring of chairs appears in the middle of the street. “We are going to solve your little… disagreement… before your hissyfit destroys what is left of this world, now SIT.” Wordlessly Blanca sits. The man takes his sword, sticks it in the ground and with a shrug sits down. Avelana’s companion grabs her shoulder and nods. The last thing you see is the two of them heading towards the circle.
