Family Crest (Actual RP)

Cheribus flew down to the family castle after his morning excursion. He landed on his balcony and his wings tucked back until they were hidden once again. Cheribus decided to seek out his brother, he had sensed that he was distressed after the recent events of their father's assassination but one of the other families. He wanted to show Angeluso that all was not bleak, that there was still a ray of hope, he just wasn't sure how to do this. Regardless Cheribus went to the Grand Hall.

As he walked through the doors he gave one of his smiles and called in a cheery voice: "Good Morning, brother!"
-----------------------
Knukyles paced in his chamber room. He was worriying over his family, being the Head in a time of war was a terrible situation. he was never particularly good at politics to begin with, but on top of that he had to plan military strategy? He wasn't sure he was cut out for the job, but as the eldest son of the last head it was his right, no his duty, to lead his family through this crisis.

 

Sirion Black, better known as Blackheart looked out the window. Though he couldn't see far enough, he knew that those idiotic families were still tearing themselves and eachother apart. he laughed at thier foolishness. his revenge had been exacted, just as he had swore.

 

Cheribus heard how quick to the point his brother was and instantly knew that something was amiss.

"I shall retrieve him at once!" he said giving a slight bow, even if Angeluso was his brother, one must always show the highest respect to the family head. Cheribus hurried out of the Grand Hall and made his way to William's bed chamber. he knocked on the door. "William it is I Cheribus! Our brother, Angeluso requests our presence in the Grand Hall, he wished to discuss something with us!"
----------------
Knukyles tried to clear his head, but confusion reigned over his thoughts. He had been the best of friends with members of the other families, Angeluso being among them, so he did not understand how such a form of treachery could occur. what had happened between the families to spark such an act as this? there must be more to it then Knukyles was aware of, though what that something was he had no idea. nor did he have the time to ponder it/ for, while he sat here brooding, he should have been headed to a meeting with his trusted adviser. they needed to discuss future events and what to do in case an attack from the other families were to happen.

 

Will pushed himself off the bed, grabbing the large sword from his bedside and strapping it to his back, even though his shirt was open and showing a wifebeater. He opened the door and eyed his brother. "May I help you Cheribus?" He asked, straightening the sword and slipping a pair of shoes on. "I thought I was not to be disturbed unless it was urgent?" He growled, having been irritable lately. Ever since his father's death he had lost his old ways of balancing sword practice with womanizing and now only practiced his sword, looking for ways to kill the heads of the other families.

 

Blackheart walked from his chambers down the vast corridor of other assasins. He shot a servant with his crossbow when he failed to fix his tea perfectly. He walked away and got changed, befire coming back to the dining hall. his cold grey eyes flashed even colder. He gathered the assasins together. "I heard a rumor." he started, "That a few family member-we are unsure which family will be coming to town today." He smiled coldly, his silver eyes flashing with hatred. "Another assasin will come with me. We'll form a stakeout, hiding until they come. I want to stir up some more trouble." He pointed at one of the many cloaked assasins. "You." he said, pointing to the man. "Be ready soon. We leave at noon. And, if they catch you, you know the drill." he pulled out a tiny pill-sized container of green, foaming liquid. "Crunch this. Instant death." he put the flask away and walked from the hall to his chambers, readying his weaponry.

 

Cheribus accepted the Crest as if in a haze. He placed the heirloom in his pocket to honor his brothers wishes for him to never wear it until he died.

"But brother, the Refenses family were the ones who assassinated our father! Even if you were friends with Knukyles before, clearly that friendship meant nothing to him! Why throw away your life negotiating peace with a murderous family such as them!?!" but it was to no avail, Angeluso was out the door, and gone.
-----------------
Knukyles rode off on his horse, he had arranged to meet with Angeluso at a middle point between their two castles, as to ensure that neither party would trap and ambush the other. Knukyles was honorable, he hoped Angeluso would be the same. Knukyles didn't know what to think anymore about Angeluso, for it was a member of his family that did in Knukyles' father.

 

Will in his anger punched a wall and stormed off, heading towatds the sword training arena. As he got in he noticed a few servants in there training and he grinned, grabbing a trainer buster sword off the wall. "Gather round everyone, today's the lucky day you all get to fight me!" He barked at the servants, most of which were just hired and thought they were hotshots. As Will lifted the huge, weighty sword above his head and twirled it the few who had been there for a few years new all the new servants were about to be knocked aside like paperweights. Will brought down the 6 foot sword and levelted it in front of him, widening his stance and grinning.

 

Knukyles came on his horse and saw that Angeluso had already arrived. Makes sense seeing as he can fly thought Knukyles. he rode up to his old friend and dismounted. He looked at him for a moment before he said anything. Knukyles had no need for weapons since he was so much of a better fighter with his bare fists.

"I assume you have come alone? The knightly attitude of your family suggests you would honor this agreement, as I too have come unaided by my fellow Refenses. Now then, shall we begin the negotiations?"

 

"I would have liked to have that happen as well..." said Knukyles. "But after what happened can we really return to peace? Will our families follow our wishes? You and I may not have a problem, Angeluso, but our families are bitter rivals from this treachery! Not many will fell peaceful toward your clan after what you did!" Knukyles hated that he had to speak the truth this way, but in a conference like this lying was pointless, as well was beating around the bush. He could not lie and say that there was a chance for peace after what the Seraphimic family did to them. No, what ALL the other families did to them. Knukyles' mind drifted to the feather that had been left at the seen of the assassination, he kept it on his person at all times as a reminder of the betrayal his family had suffered. The feather was exactly the same as one from the wings of the Seraphimic family.

 

Blackheart was armed to the toe with his longsword, crossbow, arrows, and an assortment of knives and daggers. He looked at his partner and nodded, signaling that it was time to go. The assassin only hoped that the rumors had indeed been true and a family member would be out and about today. While riding his black horse towards the town he noticed that there were two men at a very far distance. pulling a steel telescope he identified that they were two new heads of the families. he coudn't let them unite! Pulling an arrow with The crest of the Mudonists engraved on it, he put it into his crossbow. at the end there were feathers from the Seraphamic families former head. the point was sharp, and the feathers would make it fly true. they wouldn't see him. he fired, nearly missing Angeluso, on purpose. "More trouble." he chuckled, riding away.

 

OOC: dammit Key King you ruined the whole scene! we had this whole thing planned out! whatever i can still work with this.

IC: Knukyles saw the arrow coming and watched as it whisked by Angeluso's head.

"What was that! are we under attack?!?" he looked off wildly then when no other assaults came forth he inspected the arrow. "This has the Crest of the Mudonist Family...but wait... these feathers... the are the same as the wings of the Seraphimic! Damn you Angeluso! You attempt to betray us again!?! Too bad! your Mudonist assassin has failed to kill me! Don't try to sway me with your lies, we know one of your family killed my father! Look!" he held out the feather which was found at the murder scene. "And now you have joined the Mudonists to try to kill me! I bite my thumb at you sir! There is great shame on the families of the Seraphimic and the Mudonists today!!"

 

"Now you dare to insult me!?!?" Roared Knukyles. "I will KILL you you treacherous fiend! Have at thee!" Knukyles swept his foot under Angeluso knocking him off his fee, and drove him into the ground with the use of his elbow. He was far superior at hand to hand combat than Angeluso ever hoped to be. Knukyles would easily win this fight as long as he could keep Angeluso away from his discarded sword.
