"Aisuru. Gomenasai." | Sukoshi, Kashi
Little song09/25/2019
Despite Ananias’ warnings, a small figure dressed in blue and carrying a glaive approaches Middlemarch. Happy
to find the Blue Cloaks for the moment not about.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Ravens fly overhead. Their song is fear.
Little song09/25/2019 So of course silently he draws closer almost masterfully stelthed and watches for an opening to look closer. Glances at the raven. Death... or that’s often what they mean.. Elyon please don’t let that be her.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Hooves trample by, a patrol, they approach the gate. It's thick doors now lie across an earthen bridge, flanked by dirt motes, peppered with wooden steaks. Sukoshi sees tall towers, high walls guarded by riflemen, many men-at-arms. When supplies roll in, a smaller gate opens. He also hears men a short distance off, just his luck, there is one tree left that is close enough to the walls that he could possibly shimmy up without being noticed. But he must hurry, the three blue-tunics are sharpening their axes.
Little song09/25/2019 Heads to it and nimbly and silently gets to the top hidden in the branches. First real look at the camp.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 The sight inspires a man with marvel and dread. Men in uniform aptly erecting structures, the tree line is being pushed farther away from the camp, no surprises. There is also the organizing of supplies, new weapons with their eyes on the walls, The smell of death looming in the air. Townsmen are still plentiful, but they hang their heads low and are afraid. Ranks of soldiers drill with blades and firearms. A heavy guard is stationed outside the inn, which is rapidly being converted into a secondary holdout. A building obstructs Kashi from view. Out of the inn steps a familiar face, Scarface. He walks toward where the four dozen or so soldiers are drilling.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 The town is unrecognizable in it's placement of structures, and the atmosphere of fear.
Little song09/25/2019 Narrows eyes in anger at him, but holds position.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 The structure is close to the battlement, by no choice of theirs. Two men, one in a tunic, walk past the guard on the battlement next to Sukoshi's position. Knight: "So how about it?" Plain Man:"I tell you you folk are disturbing our home." Knight: "Just do it." The man, shaking, takes hold of a branch. His lips quiver, and recalls in his mind, "Oh, the days when I was putting my children to play in your branches old friend. Forgive me." He takes out a long, brand new looking saw, and goes to work on the thick branches. "I told you I could make good tools!" he tells the knight. The knight is impressed. "Make some more of those and give it to those who are most needy!" Plain Man: "What about my daughter?" Knight: "She won't be testing the water tomorrow, but don't think your safe forever. Only repentance will grant you that." Meanwhile, Scarface watches the men drill.
Little song09/25/2019 So self righteous and yet so wicked. Waits for a good moment.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 When the knight turns to leave, the Plain Man wipes his aged brow and sobs on the branch he just cut. The patroling guards come back, passing each other, and the Man.
Little song09/25/2019 He will then grab hold of the wall and start shimming around it to do a perimeter.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 The spirit of the Sanctified is untiring. Another posse, out to commit only Elyon knows what, rides beneath him. They do not spot him, their helmets focusing their vision forward.
Little song09/25/2019 Just waits. And tries to think about the best way to explore. If he can get on a roof?
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 He peeks, there is a roof next the battlement where the tree was, it is practically hugging the wall. He waits for the guards to pass again, the coast is clear for a the briefest moment. Scarface moves from the men, towards the town square.
Little song09/25/2019 Quick leap and lands like a cat. Crouch walking to the edge to see more.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 "FIRE!" BOOM! A cannon is tested.
Little song09/25/2019 Cringes still.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 The smoke billows in his direction, it obscures his sight for only a moment, but as he crouches near the edge, he spies a distinct, eye-catching shape in the middle of the town square. A hole in the smoke, and he sees an immense pile of wood, stairs, a platform with a stake in the middle...Kashi tied to it!
Little song09/25/2019 Heart beat.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Scarface walks closer near her, hands on his flintlock
Little song09/25/2019 Leaps to a closer building using the smoke for cover.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Aside from the crowds of people, patrols and such, there are six guards total around Kashi. Four at the bottom of the platform stairs, two beside her. Scarface gives Kashi his steel eyes from below. He nods to a guard waving for his attention.
Little song09/25/2019 Deep breath.. Calm. There’s time. React to rash and you blow this.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 The Guard then goes for Kashi, he brings out a jar of something. Whatever is in it, he begins smearing Kashi in it. It is fat, to help the flames.
Little song09/25/2019 "How far is that? 30 feet. If I can get there from her kill the two. Get your hands off her! Calm?! Stay calm. She cringes. Uncomfortable.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Sukoshi eyes the battlements patrols coming back round, he does not have enough cover on a rooftop to avoid detection for much longer.
Little song09/25/2019 She’s chained... even if... no.... Touches a stone at his neck. No time.. Grabs a vile and pours it on top of his blade.. No mistakes. Eylon just give me strength and keep her safe. takes off necklace and backs up to run. Hoping to land straight onto the platform.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Scarface smiles, ascends the stairs, takes a handful of fat. "No spot left untouched." Slaps her with his palm. The two patrol men spot Sukoshi, they go into a flury, but their alerting voices are just faint echoes to Sukoshi who prepares himself. The guards haste into a good firing position, preparing their rifles.
Little song09/25/2019 Spear aiming strait for Scarface’s back with all the momentum of the fall.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Sukoshi falls. Scarface turns as he hears the men calling. His eyes go wide, his hand unholsters his weapon. Gunfire from the battlements, they miss the fast moving target. Scarface raises his weapon, the glaive penatrates his shoulder, altering his weapons aim, it is discharged, and Sukoshi lands on the platform.
Little song09/25/2019 Shoves him off the platform with the glaive. And swings at another of the guards.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Scarface falls into the woodpile. The glaive takes off the leg of a guard. The second draws his sword and engages. The town square erupts in flurry of surprised soldiers and civilians. The four at the bottom ignore what is happening, and go to different positions around the platform.
Little song09/25/2019 Parries the sword and takes out a dagger to stab him. [Deadly poison coats the glaive].
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 The dagger glances off the armor beneath his tunic. He goes to grab Sukoshi's weapon by the pole and push him against the stake.
Little song09/25/2019 Kicks his head. Quickly.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 The four men on the bottom hurry with all their speed. One removes a bundle of wood and puts flint to a small box hidden beneath it. The flint breaks, so in a panic he discharges his pistol onto it. Three more man-at-arms and a Knight burst from the panicking crowd and go to ascend the platform, weapons drawn. Tthe Knight flies back from the kick, almost off the platform, but he stops himself. One man-at-arms casts a fireball at Sukoshi.
Little song09/25/2019 Takes it, clothes catching on fire.. Don’t panic. Move! Goes up to Kashi. Slipping the stone over her head. "Aisuru. Gomenasai." Flips glaive. Deep breath and plunges it into her chest..
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 As he is performing this, the Knight gets to his feet, and uses the blunt of his weapon, attempting to knock Sukoshi over the head. The pistol ignites the box, and green gas plumes out, the same from three other positions. The gas is a knock-out. Baldwin emerges from the inn, his attention glued onto the events at the stake.
Little song09/25/2019 Falls over and starts coughing. Still on fire but goes unconscious. Kashi writhing on the platform but a black orb starts to pulse from the stone and surround her form.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 The men panic, Sukoshi's flames get brighter, they try to reach him, but the gas makes it difficult. A quick thinking knight tosses his helmet aside, and uses his tunic as a mask. He goes to push Sukoshi off the platform, then tries to grab the stone from Kashi's neck before it's too late. The men pat down Sukoshi, throwing dirt to put out the fire.
Little song09/25/2019 The blackness is now obscuring her form. He tries to reach in, but her form is already going caporal..
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 "No! Stay! Stay you-!" Grabs at the stone.
Little song09/25/2019 Portal closing in on itself.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 "You're not going anywhere!" Holds her tight from behind. I hope this works.
Little song09/25/2019 She’s sucked in, but some of the cloth is left behind. And his arms are bloody. As if something scraped on top of them.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Men retrieve ropes, and chain cuffs for Sukoshi the moment his flames are out.
Little song09/25/2019 Limp but clearly in pain from his face.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Others retrieve Scarface from the timberpile. Baldwin watches. Sees his wounded commander, the missing prisoner, and the Kokkan who dealt him this blow. His expression narrows. "You're not worth it." Sukoshi is placed in a cell. Chained to the wall. Baldwin enters the cell, taking a seat. He stares long at his prisoner, assessing him. Pathetic...
Little song09/25/2019 Still unconscious.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Notices this, and gets closer, taking hold of his throat...he squeezes. His voice seethes. "You...dirt!" squeezes a little harder.
Little song09/25/2019 Starts coughing. And the jerking. Comes awake.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Makes him meet his gaze, white with hatred. "My brother's salvation...you robbed me of that chance...you devil! So intent are you in keeping him ensnared!" Squeezes to suffocate and bangs him against the wall.
Little song09/25/2019 Dazed but kicks at his stomach.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Bends over from the impact, his grip loosening. Guards rush in, placing bayonets at Sukoshi's throat. Baldwin backs up. Catches his breath, and then turns to face Sukoshi. "All your people are just that...witches, and heathens. "You've isolated yourselves from doing any good to Elyon's world, and now, you have bewitched my brother near damnation. "I will suffer your kind no more!"
Little song09/25/2019 Coughing and gasping.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Draws dagger.
Little song09/25/2019 "Think what you will... but what could you expect. Me to sit while you kill my sister. "I don’t regret."
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 "You will regret everything...when you need to confess." Stabs.
Little song09/25/2019 Grunt of pain. Nods.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Draws it out. "Let him bleed...he needs to hear his error."
Little song09/25/2019 it’s worth it... Elyon look after her. Archerd... I’m sorry. Sister... I love you. I hope you live long.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 A guard moves briskly out of the cell, shouting commands. Baldwin spits on him.
Little song09/25/2019 Just silent and looks down at his blood..
Little song09/25/2019 Guiscard... if you live. Protect her.. Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Baldwin finishes his seething, and moves out, Sukoshi is left alone. Some moments go by, as his eyes slowly start to fade, he hears a sound. SHHCKTAPOOOWWW! Several moments later, the cell rumbles, the earth rumbles.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Sukoshi hears a voice. "Not another! WHY ELYON! DO SOMETHING!"
Little song09/25/2019 "Someone else here?"
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Barely hears the voice. "Who is that?"
Little song09/25/2019 "You a stubborn knight named Guiscard?"
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 "Y-You-? S-Sukoshi?" Sukoshi hears chains rattling. "Are you alright!? What did my brother do to you?"
Little song09/25/2019 "I’m dying. But it’s okay."
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 "WHAT?" "No! No not you!"
Little song09/25/2019 "Better me than her..."
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 "Oh Elyon don't let it happen again...d-dont let...it..." He calms.
Little song09/25/2019 "She’s safe. I think so anyway. In Tir Cendel." Vomits.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 "Tir Cendel." Looks at floor. Tears well up, flow like a river. "My God! Sukoshi!"
Little song09/25/2019 "I know Archerd will keep her safe. But if you survive you’ll take care of her too?"
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Head leans against cell wall. Shuts eyes. "I promise!" Chokes on tears. "I promise!"
Little song09/25/2019 "Thank you." Crying too.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Has many questions for him, but withholds, not wanting to press a dying man. "What should I tell your master when I see him?"
Little song09/25/2019 "Apologies for not coming back. He’s going to be so mad. He doesn’t like losing people."
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 "Nor do I....w-what do I tell Kashi?"
Little song09/25/2019 "That I love her. But I told her that."
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Thinks, Thats what I need to tell her.
Little song09/25/2019 "Make sure she know I want her to live and be happy as well I guess."
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Chokes on tears. Thinking about how infinitely harder keeping her safe is becoming. "I-I... "I will...I mean if I can...I can, I think- I... "I will do my best to make her happy. "On my flag I promise to keep her!"
Little song09/25/2019 "... well... it’s..." Cough. "She um... she wouldn’t leave because she wanted to stay and make sure you were safe."
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 "That is good. "I'm here Sukoshi, if you need anything else, perhaps talk."
Little song09/25/2019 "I’m just... I don’t want to die. I don’t regret. But I only just started to have family."
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Head against the wall again. "Elyon...help him...please. "I know that...where you are going will be more than joy. When you see the glowing fields, the sky...you can wait for us there."
Little song09/25/2019 "Yeah. "She’s not there yet. This whole experience might make her bitter toward Elyon."
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 "Ask Elyon, if it's in his schedule, to send a lumistone of your robe, so I can show her you're not dead."
Little song09/25/2019 "Okay." Chuckles. "That’s going to be something."
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 "Just...if it's not too painful, hold on as long as you can."
Little song09/25/2019 "It’s slow. It’s just a dagger. But they’re going to let me bleed out. "You know I think I like the color blue the best."
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Smiles. Tears again. "I've come offly fond of red."
Little song09/25/2019 "Our family colors are purple. That’s probably what she wore before."
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 "Purple...Blue and red...two of my most ardent."
Little song09/25/2019 "Yeah. I don’t know what her favorite color is. I should have asked that."
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Footsteps. Guards. They drag Guiscard into Sukoshi's cell. "Watch him die traitor...the girl is next!" He kneels beside him, taking his arm.
Little song09/25/2019 "You look pretty beat up."
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Can't help but smile. There is sadness and peace. "Are all Kokkan's so brave?"
Little song09/25/2019 "Everyone from Hwarang was. They didn’t let us not be."
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 "I havent' thought of questions like favorite color since...well since I was perhaps twelve, or even well before that. "I'm hoping you can tell her yours, for I'm not very well at such a thing. But you have...I've lost much of the barrier in my eyes. You and your sister have had much to do with that...I've questioned these last few days how much I still love my Order, because I've seen courage and valor outside of their robes."
Little song09/25/2019 "This isn’t your order you know. I’m sorry your brother has failed you so much."
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 "My brother hasn't failed me...and I won't leave his side now until Elyon permits it." Strong brother-like grip on Sukoshi's palm.
Little song09/25/2019 "I hope he turns around then. "Thanks for being here." Just cries.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Looking at him, "I hope you get well." Joins in tears.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Ravens fly overhead. Their song is fear.
Little song09/25/2019 So of course silently he draws closer almost masterfully stelthed and watches for an opening to look closer. Glances at the raven. Death... or that’s often what they mean.. Elyon please don’t let that be her.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Hooves trample by, a patrol, they approach the gate. It's thick doors now lie across an earthen bridge, flanked by dirt motes, peppered with wooden steaks. Sukoshi sees tall towers, high walls guarded by riflemen, many men-at-arms. When supplies roll in, a smaller gate opens. He also hears men a short distance off, just his luck, there is one tree left that is close enough to the walls that he could possibly shimmy up without being noticed. But he must hurry, the three blue-tunics are sharpening their axes.
Little song09/25/2019 Heads to it and nimbly and silently gets to the top hidden in the branches. First real look at the camp.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 The sight inspires a man with marvel and dread. Men in uniform aptly erecting structures, the tree line is being pushed farther away from the camp, no surprises. There is also the organizing of supplies, new weapons with their eyes on the walls, The smell of death looming in the air. Townsmen are still plentiful, but they hang their heads low and are afraid. Ranks of soldiers drill with blades and firearms. A heavy guard is stationed outside the inn, which is rapidly being converted into a secondary holdout. A building obstructs Kashi from view. Out of the inn steps a familiar face, Scarface. He walks toward where the four dozen or so soldiers are drilling.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 The town is unrecognizable in it's placement of structures, and the atmosphere of fear.
Little song09/25/2019 Narrows eyes in anger at him, but holds position.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 The structure is close to the battlement, by no choice of theirs. Two men, one in a tunic, walk past the guard on the battlement next to Sukoshi's position. Knight: "So how about it?" Plain Man:"I tell you you folk are disturbing our home." Knight: "Just do it." The man, shaking, takes hold of a branch. His lips quiver, and recalls in his mind, "Oh, the days when I was putting my children to play in your branches old friend. Forgive me." He takes out a long, brand new looking saw, and goes to work on the thick branches. "I told you I could make good tools!" he tells the knight. The knight is impressed. "Make some more of those and give it to those who are most needy!" Plain Man: "What about my daughter?" Knight: "She won't be testing the water tomorrow, but don't think your safe forever. Only repentance will grant you that." Meanwhile, Scarface watches the men drill.
Little song09/25/2019 So self righteous and yet so wicked. Waits for a good moment.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 When the knight turns to leave, the Plain Man wipes his aged brow and sobs on the branch he just cut. The patroling guards come back, passing each other, and the Man.
Little song09/25/2019 He will then grab hold of the wall and start shimming around it to do a perimeter.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 The spirit of the Sanctified is untiring. Another posse, out to commit only Elyon knows what, rides beneath him. They do not spot him, their helmets focusing their vision forward.
Little song09/25/2019 Just waits. And tries to think about the best way to explore. If he can get on a roof?
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 He peeks, there is a roof next the battlement where the tree was, it is practically hugging the wall. He waits for the guards to pass again, the coast is clear for a the briefest moment. Scarface moves from the men, towards the town square.
Little song09/25/2019 Quick leap and lands like a cat. Crouch walking to the edge to see more.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 "FIRE!" BOOM! A cannon is tested.
Little song09/25/2019 Cringes still.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 The smoke billows in his direction, it obscures his sight for only a moment, but as he crouches near the edge, he spies a distinct, eye-catching shape in the middle of the town square. A hole in the smoke, and he sees an immense pile of wood, stairs, a platform with a stake in the middle...Kashi tied to it!
Little song09/25/2019 Heart beat.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Scarface walks closer near her, hands on his flintlock
Little song09/25/2019 Leaps to a closer building using the smoke for cover.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Aside from the crowds of people, patrols and such, there are six guards total around Kashi. Four at the bottom of the platform stairs, two beside her. Scarface gives Kashi his steel eyes from below. He nods to a guard waving for his attention.
Little song09/25/2019 Deep breath.. Calm. There’s time. React to rash and you blow this.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 The Guard then goes for Kashi, he brings out a jar of something. Whatever is in it, he begins smearing Kashi in it. It is fat, to help the flames.
Little song09/25/2019 "How far is that? 30 feet. If I can get there from her kill the two. Get your hands off her! Calm?! Stay calm. She cringes. Uncomfortable.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Sukoshi eyes the battlements patrols coming back round, he does not have enough cover on a rooftop to avoid detection for much longer.
Little song09/25/2019 She’s chained... even if... no.... Touches a stone at his neck. No time.. Grabs a vile and pours it on top of his blade.. No mistakes. Eylon just give me strength and keep her safe. takes off necklace and backs up to run. Hoping to land straight onto the platform.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Scarface smiles, ascends the stairs, takes a handful of fat. "No spot left untouched." Slaps her with his palm. The two patrol men spot Sukoshi, they go into a flury, but their alerting voices are just faint echoes to Sukoshi who prepares himself. The guards haste into a good firing position, preparing their rifles.
Little song09/25/2019 Spear aiming strait for Scarface’s back with all the momentum of the fall.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Sukoshi falls. Scarface turns as he hears the men calling. His eyes go wide, his hand unholsters his weapon. Gunfire from the battlements, they miss the fast moving target. Scarface raises his weapon, the glaive penatrates his shoulder, altering his weapons aim, it is discharged, and Sukoshi lands on the platform.
Little song09/25/2019 Shoves him off the platform with the glaive. And swings at another of the guards.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Scarface falls into the woodpile. The glaive takes off the leg of a guard. The second draws his sword and engages. The town square erupts in flurry of surprised soldiers and civilians. The four at the bottom ignore what is happening, and go to different positions around the platform.
Little song09/25/2019 Parries the sword and takes out a dagger to stab him. [Deadly poison coats the glaive].
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 The dagger glances off the armor beneath his tunic. He goes to grab Sukoshi's weapon by the pole and push him against the stake.
Little song09/25/2019 Kicks his head. Quickly.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 The four men on the bottom hurry with all their speed. One removes a bundle of wood and puts flint to a small box hidden beneath it. The flint breaks, so in a panic he discharges his pistol onto it. Three more man-at-arms and a Knight burst from the panicking crowd and go to ascend the platform, weapons drawn. Tthe Knight flies back from the kick, almost off the platform, but he stops himself. One man-at-arms casts a fireball at Sukoshi.
Little song09/25/2019 Takes it, clothes catching on fire.. Don’t panic. Move! Goes up to Kashi. Slipping the stone over her head. "Aisuru. Gomenasai." Flips glaive. Deep breath and plunges it into her chest..
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 As he is performing this, the Knight gets to his feet, and uses the blunt of his weapon, attempting to knock Sukoshi over the head. The pistol ignites the box, and green gas plumes out, the same from three other positions. The gas is a knock-out. Baldwin emerges from the inn, his attention glued onto the events at the stake.
Little song09/25/2019 Falls over and starts coughing. Still on fire but goes unconscious. Kashi writhing on the platform but a black orb starts to pulse from the stone and surround her form.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 The men panic, Sukoshi's flames get brighter, they try to reach him, but the gas makes it difficult. A quick thinking knight tosses his helmet aside, and uses his tunic as a mask. He goes to push Sukoshi off the platform, then tries to grab the stone from Kashi's neck before it's too late. The men pat down Sukoshi, throwing dirt to put out the fire.
Little song09/25/2019 The blackness is now obscuring her form. He tries to reach in, but her form is already going caporal..
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 "No! Stay! Stay you-!" Grabs at the stone.
Little song09/25/2019 Portal closing in on itself.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 "You're not going anywhere!" Holds her tight from behind. I hope this works.
Little song09/25/2019 She’s sucked in, but some of the cloth is left behind. And his arms are bloody. As if something scraped on top of them.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Men retrieve ropes, and chain cuffs for Sukoshi the moment his flames are out.
Little song09/25/2019 Limp but clearly in pain from his face.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Others retrieve Scarface from the timberpile. Baldwin watches. Sees his wounded commander, the missing prisoner, and the Kokkan who dealt him this blow. His expression narrows. "You're not worth it." Sukoshi is placed in a cell. Chained to the wall. Baldwin enters the cell, taking a seat. He stares long at his prisoner, assessing him. Pathetic...
Little song09/25/2019 Still unconscious.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Notices this, and gets closer, taking hold of his throat...he squeezes. His voice seethes. "You...dirt!" squeezes a little harder.
Little song09/25/2019 Starts coughing. And the jerking. Comes awake.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Makes him meet his gaze, white with hatred. "My brother's salvation...you robbed me of that chance...you devil! So intent are you in keeping him ensnared!" Squeezes to suffocate and bangs him against the wall.
Little song09/25/2019 Dazed but kicks at his stomach.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Bends over from the impact, his grip loosening. Guards rush in, placing bayonets at Sukoshi's throat. Baldwin backs up. Catches his breath, and then turns to face Sukoshi. "All your people are just that...witches, and heathens. "You've isolated yourselves from doing any good to Elyon's world, and now, you have bewitched my brother near damnation. "I will suffer your kind no more!"
Little song09/25/2019 Coughing and gasping.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Draws dagger.
Little song09/25/2019 "Think what you will... but what could you expect. Me to sit while you kill my sister. "I don’t regret."
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 "You will regret everything...when you need to confess." Stabs.
Little song09/25/2019 Grunt of pain. Nods.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Draws it out. "Let him bleed...he needs to hear his error."
Little song09/25/2019 it’s worth it... Elyon look after her. Archerd... I’m sorry. Sister... I love you. I hope you live long.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 A guard moves briskly out of the cell, shouting commands. Baldwin spits on him.
Little song09/25/2019 Just silent and looks down at his blood..
Little song09/25/2019 Guiscard... if you live. Protect her.. Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Baldwin finishes his seething, and moves out, Sukoshi is left alone. Some moments go by, as his eyes slowly start to fade, he hears a sound. SHHCKTAPOOOWWW! Several moments later, the cell rumbles, the earth rumbles.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Sukoshi hears a voice. "Not another! WHY ELYON! DO SOMETHING!"
Little song09/25/2019 "Someone else here?"
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Barely hears the voice. "Who is that?"
Little song09/25/2019 "You a stubborn knight named Guiscard?"
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 "Y-You-? S-Sukoshi?" Sukoshi hears chains rattling. "Are you alright!? What did my brother do to you?"
Little song09/25/2019 "I’m dying. But it’s okay."
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 "WHAT?" "No! No not you!"
Little song09/25/2019 "Better me than her..."
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 "Oh Elyon don't let it happen again...d-dont let...it..." He calms.
Little song09/25/2019 "She’s safe. I think so anyway. In Tir Cendel." Vomits.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 "Tir Cendel." Looks at floor. Tears well up, flow like a river. "My God! Sukoshi!"
Little song09/25/2019 "I know Archerd will keep her safe. But if you survive you’ll take care of her too?"
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Head leans against cell wall. Shuts eyes. "I promise!" Chokes on tears. "I promise!"
Little song09/25/2019 "Thank you." Crying too.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Has many questions for him, but withholds, not wanting to press a dying man. "What should I tell your master when I see him?"
Little song09/25/2019 "Apologies for not coming back. He’s going to be so mad. He doesn’t like losing people."
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 "Nor do I....w-what do I tell Kashi?"
Little song09/25/2019 "That I love her. But I told her that."
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Thinks, Thats what I need to tell her.
Little song09/25/2019 "Make sure she know I want her to live and be happy as well I guess."
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Chokes on tears. Thinking about how infinitely harder keeping her safe is becoming. "I-I... "I will...I mean if I can...I can, I think- I... "I will do my best to make her happy. "On my flag I promise to keep her!"
Little song09/25/2019 "... well... it’s..." Cough. "She um... she wouldn’t leave because she wanted to stay and make sure you were safe."
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 "That is good. "I'm here Sukoshi, if you need anything else, perhaps talk."
Little song09/25/2019 "I’m just... I don’t want to die. I don’t regret. But I only just started to have family."
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Head against the wall again. "Elyon...help him...please. "I know that...where you are going will be more than joy. When you see the glowing fields, the sky...you can wait for us there."
Little song09/25/2019 "Yeah. "She’s not there yet. This whole experience might make her bitter toward Elyon."
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 "Ask Elyon, if it's in his schedule, to send a lumistone of your robe, so I can show her you're not dead."
Little song09/25/2019 "Okay." Chuckles. "That’s going to be something."
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 "Just...if it's not too painful, hold on as long as you can."
Little song09/25/2019 "It’s slow. It’s just a dagger. But they’re going to let me bleed out. "You know I think I like the color blue the best."
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Smiles. Tears again. "I've come offly fond of red."
Little song09/25/2019 "Our family colors are purple. That’s probably what she wore before."
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 "Purple...Blue and red...two of my most ardent."
Little song09/25/2019 "Yeah. I don’t know what her favorite color is. I should have asked that."
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Footsteps. Guards. They drag Guiscard into Sukoshi's cell. "Watch him die traitor...the girl is next!" He kneels beside him, taking his arm.
Little song09/25/2019 "You look pretty beat up."
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Can't help but smile. There is sadness and peace. "Are all Kokkan's so brave?"
Little song09/25/2019 "Everyone from Hwarang was. They didn’t let us not be."
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 "I havent' thought of questions like favorite color since...well since I was perhaps twelve, or even well before that. "I'm hoping you can tell her yours, for I'm not very well at such a thing. But you have...I've lost much of the barrier in my eyes. You and your sister have had much to do with that...I've questioned these last few days how much I still love my Order, because I've seen courage and valor outside of their robes."
Little song09/25/2019 "This isn’t your order you know. I’m sorry your brother has failed you so much."
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 "My brother hasn't failed me...and I won't leave his side now until Elyon permits it." Strong brother-like grip on Sukoshi's palm.
Little song09/25/2019 "I hope he turns around then. "Thanks for being here." Just cries.
Yankee Samarai09/25/2019 Looking at him, "I hope you get well." Joins in tears.
