SF's Dispatch

[AxeHappyLoser]

The moon was high in the sky and it shined ever so brightly this odd evening. The air was cold and the wind was mellow. The trees were covered with snow and all over the ground was heavy layers of white.

Their were ice cicles dangling off every roof in the town of Marri'via. The friendly towns folk had a fire going in the center of town. People were drinking and laughing as the people swopt stories of their past time experince out on the battle field.

About 15 years ago a mystical battle took place beween the castle of DG and the castle of Marri. Meny families suffered much during that war. Meny wemon and children were killed.

A warrior from DG was wounded during battle against Marri'via's army. He took refuge in the nearist town, which was Marri. He masked who he was and he ended up living there till the war was nearly over. He got lonely and started talking to some of the girls in town. He got lucky with one of them, but then they ended up falling in love. The warrior knew this was going to cause problems and he wouldn't be able to leave. He then decided that he was going to runaway back to DG with his lover, but for that to happen he would have to explain everything to her.

The night that the warrior was ready to leave he sat down with her and told her what happend in the war that led him to be where he is. Just then a guy walked by their house. He overheard the conversation and he went to fetch a guard. Just as the warrior of DG and the women of Marri were about to leave. A group of guardsmen stood outside the door. The warrior was then murdered on the spot... What he didn't know was the women was pregnat so she lied about everything to save the child. She told the guards that he broke into the house long ago and he said he'd kill her if she told anyone anything. The guards believed her and left her alone after giving her some money for all the trouble.

A few months had past and the baby was born. She and another man named the elf boy SForce. He grew up not knowing anything of his father until one day he was sitting around the fire in the middle of town and heard stories about the war. SForce became interested so he wanted to become a knight of Marri'via. He trained every night until the day came...

The next morning he was on his way to the castle to ask to be recruted. What he didn't know is that he was nobility for the castle of DG...

[SForce]

"I am here for my recritement to become an honarary knight of the Marri'via castle." SForce said to the guard.

~The guard had no reply, it was merly a glance to the elf boy. Sforce examined it for a moment, his poise seemed to match the 'who are you' posture.~

"My name is SForce, son of..." SForce stopped, he had no clue who or what his father was. Was he a noble knight, or a failure at his occupation?

~The Guard game a slight grin, the sign of 'haha your nothing'. The elf boy couldn't really make out what he was thinking though. After training day after day, night after night to finally become an honorary knight of Marii'via he was stopped in his path by a guard that wouldn't believe him.~

[AxeHappyLoser]

The guard became slightly annoyed that this strange elf boy wouldn't leave him be. He didn't want to waste his time so he continued to ingnore him. The elf didn't get the hint and kept on trying to figure out the words to say.

Finally the guard looked down at the poor weak elf and stated, "Why would you think the Marri'via army would need such a useless young lad? Considering you don't even have a title, we wouldn't recruit the likes of you any how.

The elf boy looked crushed. He didn' t know what to say before and he really doesn't know what to say now. He put his head down and shruged. The Guard rolled his head and said, "Now be off with ye."

[SForce]

~The elf boy looked up at the guard. He seemed to get really mad, a sign that he himself realizes that someone is going to die if he is not dealt otherwise.~

~SForce looked the guard straight in the eye, but the guard wasn't paying attention at all. He was ignoring him and it was that blatent to notice. THe elf boy stood there waiting for a responce, a sign that he was allowed to go in, but nothing became of it.~

~The elf boy was getting even more mad and decided that he couldn't take this measly guard standing in the way of his knighthood.~

"Take arms!" SForce said without thinking. He was pissed and he couldnt control himself.

~The guard now peered at him, wondering if he meant it or not.~

"I said take arms you measly guard!" SForce said with vengence

[AxeHappyLoser]

The Guard didn't even bother to reach for his sword. Instead the guard stood broadly and said, "You dare challenge me?"

The Guard swong his shield violently at the elf boy knocking him to the ground.

"Now get lost before I decided to do away with ye."

[SForce]

~SForce looked at him from the ground, it seemed that this guard was too determined not to let him in, that it seemed easier if he would have just let him enter the castle. But SForce was poised and ready to take himout.~

"Now why are you a guard?" SForce said with a grin. "Was it that you weren't good enough to become a knight? The king didn't see you fit otherwise huh?" SForce said in a jerkish way

~The elf was hoping to piss off the guard just enough so that he'd let down his guard and swing impatiently. SForce held his bow in one hand and slowly put an arrow on the string. He was ready the first glance he saw an opening to attack.~

"Just don't kill him SForce or your never gonna become a knight" He said to himself

[AxeHappyLoser]

The Guard couldn't believe such ignorance he was hearing from the elf. He walked up to the elf, standing about 2 feet taller. He picked up the elf by his shirt and looked at him threw his helmet.

"You hold your tongue pest before I take it out of your disrespectful mouth. Don't tempt me, because I have all the right in these parts to gut you for speaking to me in such a tone. The part you probably didn't think about is no one will care if your dead. Your just one less person the king has to watch over."

The elf was still being held up by the guard as a noble appeared riding on a house. He came strolling threw the gates. The guard didn't seem to notice that the man was right behind him. He drew his sword and tapped the guard on the shoulder

"Thats enough! Put him down!"

The guard cocked his head at the noble barking orders. It was the prince of Marri'via.

"This puny elf was bad mouthing me trying to get into these gates"

"Put him down! Thats and order!"

The guard dropped the elf

"Now tell me... Why wouldn't you let him threw these gates?"

"......."

"Every man living within our lands has full right to be recruited. You dare deny this man of his rights?"

"but-"

"You are releived from your post. My father will certainly be hearing about this. I never wanna see you guarding these gates again or you will be stripped of your very own rights."

"Yes your loyalness..."

With that being said, the guard angerly took off down the road towards the town. The Prince looked down at the elf laying on the floor. He got off his horse and helped the elf to his feet.

"I'm terrorably sorry about that. Some men here take whatever power they have been given for granted. Please, I insist, tell me your name."

[SForce]

((Hint: when you do an RP, if its gonna be in different colors your quotes, say whos saying what still, someone might get confused and get it mixed up...just say "the guard said" etc))

~The elf boy looked at the noble. Seemed fimilar to him, but nothing in his head seemed to ring a bell of who or what he was. He was of noble desent obviously and seemed to have some power in the town, as it seems the guard respected his desision without hesitation.~

~The elf peered down the road at the guard riding away. Pity he couldn't spar with him, it seemed the elf could've proved himself in one little action, but that didn't matter now, he was here for the reason he came and that was to talk with the recruiter.~

~He glanced at the noble, his sword was shethed in the sleeve, looked nice when he pulled it out though. It seemed to be a genuine sword, one that was not meant for fighting but for show or proff of something.~

"My name is SForce" the elf answered. "I come from a home just over there." The elf pointed in the general direction, though that noble seemed unintested about it. "I am here to become a knight of the castle of Marii'va" the elf boy said with glee

[AxeHappyLoser]

(Only you would get confused SF...)

The prince laughed to himself and said, "So you wish to become a knight eh? Well don't let me stop you. The gates are clear for you to pass. Once you enter, ask for a man named Maven. He'll escort you to where you want to be."

The prince then got back up on his horse and threw the elf a few gold coins and said, "just say the prince sent you. I'm sure you'll be a knight before you know it."

The prince then smiled and comanded his horse to take off.

[SForce]

"Thank you!" the elf boy shouted

~SForce doubts he heard him but yet that didn't matter either, he was inside and the recruiter was the only person he cared about at the moment. He took the gold coins and peered inside the castle. Looked nice he thought to himself. Definitly a good place to reside as a knight.~

~The elf boy shook off the thought of his surroundings and decided to go find the recruiter. For a moment his name slipped the elf's mind, but after hearing it being repeated by a bystander passing threw, he remembered.~

"Maven" the elf said to himself, hoping he wouldn't forget

~He walked in a few steps, making sure he wasn't stopped agian. After no one payed attention of his entrance, he walked on. SForce walked around looking for a sign of the this Maven guy.~

((Upon reading this a couple things should come out at you. One is that the elf is timid in entering the town (or something of importance, either he's not use to it or something in the past has altered him being scared) only the RP'er, in this case me, knows which, maybe it's not important at all...

also when i say "Hoping to find a sign of this Maven guy" or w/e i said in that last par. thats a sign to you that you must say or do an action in the RP for me to notice..))

[AxeHappyLoser]

(I know SF, just let me run this RP... Oh and usually when you enter a recruiting place or something like that, theres always a front desk or a toll post. You should have gone there and asked for Maven...)

A man suited in old armor from behind a desk say Sforce walk through the gates. Since this was a recruiting site, he knew that either the elf was lost or he came here to be recruited. A few moments later he called out to the elf, "Excuse me!"

The elf didn't seem to notice so he called out to him again, "Excuse me sir!!" He got his attention that time so he said "If your here for recruitment come this way."

(Note: This man is not Maven)

[SForce]

~The elf stared at the man that called him. Who was this man? Was he of any importance to the castle, or was he like the guard and here to make his life worse.~

~It seemed like it didn't matter anyway, the elf was lost and if he followed this man or not his destination would probably be closer reached.~

"Yes, I am...Who are you?" The elf boy asked

[AxeHappyLoser]

The man said, "What does it look like child? I write down the names of all those who wish to be recruited and then they go into a room and wait to be called apon. IF that why you are here then you should give me your name and I'll write you down in this here book in front of me."

[SForce]

~The elf boy didn't fully trust this man, he was ignorant and didn't answer his question. He danced around it a little, but was that enough? He thought for a moment, but decided that if he's in this castle then he must be trustworty.~

"My name is SForce...S-Force" The elf boy said

~He looked back at the man seeing what he'd write down.~

[AxeHappyLoser]

The man looked at SForce and cocked him an attitude, "Look here boy. I've been working this spot for a few years now. I'll take down your name how ever I feel like it. Now go sit down and wait till you and the rest of the new recruites are need."

(note: Don't forget to ask for Maven)
