Mark: Now if you excuse me I must send my soldiers off to war, I expect you to be in my room cleaning my shield like I said when I get back *he is trying to act stern but you can tell he is confused about what just happend*
*when you arrive in his room to clean the shield (which from the looks of it really only needs polished) you can see Mark out the window yelling encouraging words at a group of soldiers*
Presence: You need to trust in my power... Mark would not, he thinks of the elves as what his father thought him, lowly scum who want nothing but to take the humans off of their throne, take him to the capital so he can control this power before it drives him to madness
*Mark follows as the guards burst through the woods, but they aren't wearing the right armor*
Mark: Those aren't soldiers or guards, those are marauders
Mark (still outside): They may have destroyed Kartisport and Cairn, but the capital of Moore will stand victorious against these barbarians!
*The Soldiers give a fierce cry and start marching out the gate of the city, you see Mark walk back into the castle(?)*
*he exits into the courtyard and to the gate but bumps into a guard knocking his eyepatch off he covers it but a civilian saw his eye and screams*
Civ: DEMON!!!!
Mark: Too late...
*the guard scrambles away to arm himself and then rushes at the prince, Mark fends him off and disarms the guard and kicks him to the ground then he sheiths his sword and grabs your arm and runs for the gate*
Mark: could you help us get to Hurdun
Miner 1: Hurdun? ah ok sure we need to head there anyway... the name's Drago (he is the one in the image with goggles)
Mark: *cries out in pain but stops*
Drago: *stands up* Sire are you alright
Mark: *moves his hand and the black void of his eyes has spread farther covering his eyebrow and some of his nose*
Volt: *stands up and yells* A DEMON *Drago knocks him out before he does anything*
*Alex see's that the black has spread*
Drago: don't worry about Volt he tends to jump the gun, I could sense the demonic presence before I met you, that's why I asked who you are
Mark: Alright, now you wanted an explanation *he takes off his eye patch* (btw the color of his eye is still there its just the whit part that is now a black void)
*when they finish mark is done crying and is holding on to Clara like that was the only thing keeping him tethered to this world*
Drago: *tosses volts unconscious body in a corner* we will let you guys use the cots, you must be exhausted from traveling from the capital
*Drago lifts the prince from your arms and sets him down on a cot*
Drago: Get to bed, we leave early tomorrow
*Coal sits down and turns the helmet down so it covers his eyes*
*Volt shakes your hand (which is really awkward due to his heavy gloves)*
Coal: and who's that
Mark: just a traveler
Drago: Come on pull your hood back, we're all friends!
Drago: I apologize my lord, we had no idea it was you
Mark: Satnd up you heathen, we have places to go
*they stand up with yes sires and of course my lords and lead them down the cave*
(I'd hope so if he doesn't, things will get interesting)
*Alex fires the bow and hits Groog right in the chest but it doesn't sink in, suddenly it's silent and you feel something warm go down the side of your head*
*you jump back but the club hits the ground throwing you into the air and he smacks alex with his hand breaking your ribs and throwing you into the wall*
Mark: ALEX
*the brute picks up your limp body and starts to try and rip your arm off*
Mark: LET HIM GO YOU FIEND!
*the beast continues*
Mark: *a black aura surrounds him drawing the brutes attention* I... SAID... STOOOOOOP
*a void surrounds him and a silohette version of him is in his place
(yes)
Mark: Ugh, where are we, You i demand an answer
Marauder: I don't take orders from you
Boss: But you take orders from me, now lay off them, they need to be alive for the fight, now lets see who we are dealing with
(is Alex wearing a helmet)
*The Boss rips off Alexes helmet and puts a gag in his mouth to shut him up*
Boss: Huh one of the Princes personal guards, we could fetch a fair price from him if he survives the fight pit
*he walks over and takes off Marks hood*
Boss: *gasp* YOU BUMBLING FOOLS BROUGHT THE PRINCE HERE!!!
Marauder: We didn't know sir! he was wearing that hood
*the Boss is furious*
Boss: Well we have to send him back or we will have all of the royal army on us, *sigh* Chain him to the flag outside the fight pit I at least want him to see the fight
*the marauder salutes and heads off to ready the flag pole*
*when you arrive downstairs you see things you wouldn't expect from the prince, like collections of rocks (not gems) Broken swords and other old objects, he pulls a ruined dagger out of his pocket and sets it with some others*
*hours later they are in the fight pit Alex put against a massive brute, Mark chained to the Flag pole, Clara tied up in front of the boss*
Boss: And I bring you one of the Princes personal Guard!(does alex have title or is it just Alex)
Boss: ALEX!!!, and his opponent is the one and only, GROOG THE DESTROYER!!!!
(the name is recognized by a warrior who single-handedly took down an entire army)
*Groog bellows a war cry and lifts a massive club off the ground and swings it in a threatening manner*
*the beast yells and tries to grab you but its momentum has stop it from reaching you, but that same momentum has ripped the sword form its foot and your hand*
(i love the one-word responses)
*Mark notices you and waves, Alex taps you on the shoulder*
(if you want i can assume the role of Alex for that conversation, or you can do both sides)
Mark: *starts rummaging through drawers* I can't let anyone see this
*there is a knock at the door*
Royal Guard: Sire, are you alright in there?
Mark: Uh.. Yes sir!
Royal Wizard: We sensed a disturbance in here, are you sure
Mark: Yes we are fine
Guard: We? Aright were coming in *the door opens right as mark finds an eyepatch and puts it one
*the wizard and guard's expression shows both relief and disgust*
Guard: I guess the disturbance was just heat, *he shakes his head* well we will be off
*they leave the room*
Mark: (╥︣﹏᷅╥) *sigh*
*Mark breaks the chains holding himself to the pole and some bandits try to stab him, mark disarms all of them in the blink of an eye and blood sports from there necks and they drop dead, Groog bellows at mark, and mark lets out a demonic yell so loud that even the brute covers his ears*
*Mark then jumps into the pit and fights the brute but Groog is faster than originally thought it catches marks sword and punches mark in the gut you hear a crack but Mark is unphased, Mark strikes the brute in the face and he flies across the pit into the wall*
*all of the marauders and bandits have fleed running as far away from the raging demon, except Groog who is now headless, eventually the inky void resides and Mark falls forward onto his knees*
*when you get back you see that Mark has returned with two plates of food*
Mark: Ah, you're back, *he gets up and puts the sword on a rack next to the armor he took off* Come sit down
Drago: *gets to an entrance* huh its raining
Volt: And? whats a little water gonna do?
*lightning strikes making everyone except Drago jump*
Drago: that
Mark: I don't know what got over me, it's as if I have someone else, using my body as a conduit for power beyond human comprehension
(I was gonna make the car analogy, but they would know what a car is)
Alex: But do you think we should get our brethren's help to keep it down? and if this threat really is accurate, then it would be nice for Mark to have that power
*he nods*
Alex: So assuming Mark said no we should keep our intentions a secret from him until we arrive *he walks to the cart and hops on*
(ok alex is your again)
*he pulls a greatsword out of the swords its a little rusty and damaged but is other wise in good condition* The sword of the Lost King! well... I think
Mark: Its supposed to be magic but so far nothing has happened with it, there's also some other things like rocks I thought looked cool and this weird gadget *he holds up an empty pistol* Not sure what it is or where it came from but I thought it looked cool
*Mark writes down on a piece of paper and grabs a messenger off the street to send it*
Mark: There now I would like to get as far away from the city as possible
Mark: *hands Alex his shield* Your gonna need this *he steps forward toward the first guard and sidesteps his spear thrust with a speed that even shocked Mark and, as if out of instinct slashed the second guard on the wrist making him drop his weapon*
*Mark punches the spearmen in the chest, you hear the sickening crack of his ribs as he hits the ground, a crater in his armor*
Mark: I hope I didn't kill him
(same, but essentially she did something that stopped him from getting caught by his dad)
Mark: Well when you did that... i... i had felt warm anytime I saw you, that's why I had asked my father to assign you to be my personal maid
