*Maddy closed her eyes and smelled her surroundings. It reminded her of simpler times. A time when she didn't look over her shoulder every couple of seconds. But that silence was interrupted by Telmar's warning horn and began to slip into a half remembered dream. She saw Tani's house, the one she was stuck in while it was set ablaze, burning again, but Tani was still trapped inside. Maddy rushed to save her but she couldnt reach it.* TANI NO!! *Suddenly, Maddy was soaking wet and she opened her eyes. She saw Leaf holding a wet bucket in front of her. It was all a dream.. well most of it. The horn was still being blown*

Leaf looked out the window to try to see the danger, but she didn't, rather she watched as several people on horses went by the house. "Not again. Can't we catch a break?" Leaf questioned herself rather then Maddy. She closed the window then looked at Maddy. "Stay here, I'll be back." Leaving behind the incense, she quickly packed up her bag and thrust her arm through the handle as she ran out the door and followed behind the group on horses.

Everything seems to be moving in slow motion. The size of the army seems to double in Gwen's eyes. Her breath comes out shaky and her heart begins to pound. There was no way they could face an army like this. Without having to say a word, Gwen turns around and moves back towards the kingdom. Her army follows her, although most appear to look confused.

"What are you doing!?" Sage yells from the wall above. She crosses her arms and gives Gwen a disappointed glare. "We've fought armies twice the size of this with fewer soldiers. There is no need to cower, we can take them!" Sage shouts. "This victory will be easy compared to our last battles. Take them out!" Sage orders.

Gwen gulps, she still looks worried, but Sage's words had a small impact on her. She nods at Sage, then heads back towards the approaching army. Her horse breaks away from the line, moving faster than the other soldier's horses. Her eyes sharpen as she tries to calculate their next move. She holds out her sword in front of her, figuring their best chance of success would be to cut down the first line of defense.

*Tani heard as the horns blared to war the kingdom of a possible attack. She looked at her guards and motioned for them to follow her to the wall. Once they reached it, Tani ran up next to Sage and saw the approaching army. She drew her sword and prepared for battle. But then she noticed something. A white flag of truce* Wait!!

Sage inhales a sharp breath when she hears Tani's warning. "Stop!" She commands, but of course, her voice is impossible to hear over the thundering of hooves. Fortunately, Gwen managed to spot the white flag on her own. She holds up a hand and stops her horse. After a slight delay, her army does the same. All is mostly quiet as the two armies silently glare at each other. They all seem to be sizing each other up. The only sounds that can be heard are horses pawing the ground and everyone's baited breaths. Gwen's shoulders tense up when she spots movement towards the middle of the enemy line. It breaks apart to allow a woman to pass by.

She rides up towards Gwen but stops her horse a few feet in front of hers. She glances at Gwen, then lifts up her eyes to look at Sage and Tani, then she returns her gaze to Gwen. "Sh*t," she says with a chuckle. "You scared the living daylights out of us." She lifts up her chin proudly and narrows her eyes at Gwen. "What are you? A soldier? Or a sorry excuse of a general? You're trembling before me you know?" She returns her gaze to Sage and Tani, a small smile creeping across her face. "I'm assuming one of those two ladies is your leader. Excuse me, but I require a word with them." The woman passes by Gwen, who watches her pass by with a bewildered expression. The woman's army follows. None of them make a move for their swords. Compared to the Telmarian army, this army seems to be far more confident and professonal.

Barry heard the horns. He decided to try and climb up one of the houses so he could see what was happening. Right now he only was one army with a white flag, and then the Telmarian army. He wanted to know what was happening but he decided that it was safer where he was.

Luke had heard the loud horn. He started running down the roads and to where he heard the hooves. Once he got close he slowed down, trying to listen in on what was happening. He hadn’t heard much yet, and was interested to learn more.

*Tani rushed down the steps and looked up* Open the gates! *Several soldier nodded and began opening the gates to the kingdom by using a pulley system. As they opened, the woman rode into the kingdom, flanked by two younger women. One Tani didn't recognize, but the other she did.* Rose?!

Freya steps in front of Rose protectively. "And who might you be?" she narrows her eyes, her posture stiff and poised, as if she was ready to leap into battle at any moment. "Chill Freya." Freya turns towards Rose with narrowed eyes. Rose appears to be holding back a fit of laughter. She elbows Freya. "See? I can be funny." she turns her attention to Tani. "Hello Tani... I bet you didn't expect to see me today did you?" she asks, smiling absently. Freya lets her guard down slightly.

*Tani was shocked. Rose disappeared about a year after "The Day the Thunderbirds Fell" and now here she was. She didnt look like she had aged a day* Where the hell have you been?

Distrust seems to fill the citizen's eyes as they eye the three strangers. Irida pays no mind to their glares. She instead quietly glances around the kingdom, she takes her time looking the kingdom up and down. She had mostly ignored Tani, Freya, and Rose. As long as Rose managed to keep Freya's temper under control, there was no need for her to step in. The last thing Irida wanted was to risk a fight, especially with their smaller numbers.

But it doesn't take long for Irida to grow impatient. "As much as I love a good reunion, we have things to do. Right ladies?" Irida rather rudely reminds the two. "Tell me Tani, are you the leader of these people? If not, I would like to be taken to him or her. We have important matters to discuss." She glances at the citizens, then behind her, where Gwen's army was ever so carefully boxing her army in. "...In private" she clarifies.

*Tani nodded her head* Me and Sage both lead these people. But if you want to talk to us, I request that the general of our armies be present.

*Maddy sat in the room, waiting for Leaf's return. She thought she heard footsteps behind her but when she looked back, nothing was there. But then she began to hear them again and saw nothing when she looked to see what was causing them. She drew her knife and began to speak.* Whoever you are, you better come out now!

At first, Eric had lost himself in the pouring rain, the loud schlop sound of the horses moving through the mud-covered path that was more a long strip of grime at this point, and keeping the pandemonium among the other men to a minimum, but then, General Gwen's voice rang out above it all. The command seemed to put a burst of energy into the horses and with encouragement, they were able to speed up, joining the rest of the army as the horns sounded. Eric had grown up near horses as a child as far as he could remember, so he had enough skill to drive the horse forward with one hand, while the other was reaching for his own sword at his side. He eventually pulled the horse to a stop, though his position with one muddy gloved hand poised to pull the sword from its sheath. He had no idea who these newcomers were. His eyes kept going back to the general. What command would she give them next? Stand down? It seemed as if there was no real hostility, but he could not hesitate for a minute until she gave the word.

*Maddy could hear as her heart felt as though it was about to burst out of her chest. Suddenly, she heard a voice.* Maddy.... *Maddy clutched her knife more as she looked around.* Where are you!? *Maddy turned around and suddenly, she saw Talla who yelled at her* WAKE UP!! *Maddy woke up in her chair and looked around. Leaf hadn't returned. She began to move her wheelchair out of the room and into the hallways, looking for any sight of humans.*

"That's understandable." Irida steps off of her horse and glances at Rose and Freya. "Will you have a problem with Freya and Rose joining us? I'm certain you understand the threat you pose against me? It's not exactly wise to meet three strangers by yourself." While she had asked a question, it came out sounding demanding.

"You won't have to worry about us being a threat if you are wise enough to watch your tone when addressing us" Gwen snaps as she rides forward to join the group. "You can consider yourself to be a visitor for now... but don't make me change my mind, you can become a prisoner real quick." Gwen's attempt to intimate Irida makes Irida snort in a fit of laughter. Gwen opens her mouth to speak, but Sage cuts in.

"Of course they can join us. Tani? Would you mind leading the way?" Sage asks while throwing a glare at Gwen. Don't provoke her Sage mouths to Gwen.

"Keep an eye on them" Gwen whispers to her commanders. She glances at Eric, who happened to be close by. "You," she says while pointing to Eric, "would you mind standing guard by the door?"

Eric was startled that, for the second time, General Gwen was speaking to him. He was not of high authority, a foot soldier, so it made sense that she would want someone expendable, but he never excepted it to be him. Still, he had to obey orders, so he gave a curt nod, his hand returning to the well-worn reins as he gave a quick nod and said, "Of course."

*Tani lead the group to the city capital building where they entered the Counsel room. Gwen locked the doors behind them and they all sat at a table where they sat in silence for a brief moment. Finally, Tani spoke* So, what brings you to our kingdom?

Rose gives Tani another absent smile. "Why do you want to know Miss Tani?" Freya asks, shifting so she's between Rose and Tani. Rose puts her hand on her friend's shoulder. "It's fine Rey, Tani means no harm. She's... an old friend after all." she fixes her gray eyes on Tani. While she struggles to keep her bitterness at being forgotten out of her voice, her eyes display her emotion. Freya looks back at Rose before nodding, sheathing her sword again and stepping back, the way a knight would.

Rose glances around at the scenery as they follow Tani to the city capitol. She hardly recognizes the place that was once her home. It feels odd to be back, after spending so many years alone with Freya living in the woods. She lets out a sigh, getting a worried glance from Freya. Rose bits back a smile. She shifts her shoulders, the bow string biting into her back. Rose hadn't lost herself in a while, but something told her if it's going to happen, if she's going to have a breakdown, today's the day.

Barry was already off the roof and had snuck in to follow everyone. He wanted to know what was going on with the new people who had come to talk with them. He was outside of the door to the room they were in and had his ear pressed against the wall, trying to listen in on the conversation.

Luke decides that he should visit Sage. He knocks on the door, well knowing there were soldiers nearby. He waits for an answer. He doesn’t think anyone is going to be right next to him, so he just waits for someone to answer.

Eric followed the others, keeping a respectful distance, and ties down his own horse. Patting the rowan's flank merrily, he said, "Sorry old pal, but you have to stay outside." He scratched the horse between the ears and was met with a sneeze of hot air that made him wrinkle his nose. "I deserve that." Brushing some of the mud off of his hands, Eric followed the women inside, taking his post on the opposite side of the door, staring straight ahead with a sigh as he leaned slightly against the wall. Still, he was keeping wary. Something unexpected had happened, and he had the feeling it wasn't going to be the last.

Irida doesn't sit down. Instead, she anxiously paces back and forth around the room, her arms were crossed behind her back and her chin was still raised. If any old fool were to glance in this room, one would suspect that Irida was above all of the people in this room. Her arrogance makes Gwen's jaw tighten, but she keeps her mouth shut.

"My name is Irida Mannering, I am the high commander of the Priatorian Order and warden of the seaside kingdom of Kestrian. For the last 20 years now, my nation has been at war with one of your enemies from the Iron Mountains" She pauses to glance sideways at their faces. She notices sudden alertness on Gwen's face in particular. "My scouts have informed me that a huge division of their army is marching towards this kingdom as we speak. I'm certain that it'll be enough to easily wipe all you out"

This sets Gwen off. She can no longer stay silent. "So what? Did you really decide to come here with a puny army of your own? One that even we could defeat? Yet you come here to underestimate our strength." Gwen snorts. "Thanks for the tip, but what would you know?"

"I have a proposal for you" Irida continues, she ignores Gwen's comments, which only makes Gwen bristle even more. "My proposal for you is that we escort you and your people to Kestrian and in return, you assist us in our fight again these so-called "Cloaks" as Rose has so frequently called them." She smiles at Tani and Sage. "You have nothing to lose in this. Not only will your kingdom not be destroyed by the Cloaks, but you'll also have a chance in fighting back."

"And if we refuse?" Gwen questions.

"Then I wish your kingdom luck, you'll need it if you think you can stop an invasion of that size alone." Irida doesn't try to hide the frustration in her voice. "But the choice isn't up to you general, the choice is up to them" Irida reminds Gwen, gesturing to both Tani and Sage.
