The Archers Mark (on hold)

Arrows and Rulers

Knives pov.

I stomped away from the clearing that Star had shown off at, frustrated. I quickly glanced at my lieutenant as we walked away from the pounding on the ground. "Lieutenant?" I asked while pushing passed the thick foliage of the woods.

She stepped up matching my pace but with heavy breaths. "Yes commander-san?" She asked.

I smiled. Such a good puppet. She wasn't anything like Stars Slackers. The rule breakers. I know where her division's been. I know who they've been with. What they've done.

I could easily take this opportunity to swipe the carpet from under there feet. I could feel that chance at becoming first Commander and getting off this island like it was my own skin. It was so close, but I need to wait. Of course that doesn't mean I can't mess with her beforehand.

"When general Spears came back did she bring the war beast's?" I asked reaching for a branch in a low hanging tree, beginning to hoist myself up to the next nearest branch of the heavy leafed tree, (with ease if I may add.)

Unlike Star I had strategies to get what I want. And now what I wanted was that chance to leave this island. James told me of the palaces they went, the carnage they left behind. The sound of it was alluring enough to give me that extra incentive then normal to destroy Star. And after Stars demise I would have no obstacles.

Crystal would be no problem. Hell even now she was an easy one to take down, All I would have to do is suggest she look and watch the "pretty sky." Then a quick clean stab to the heart would end her pour pitiful life. It was the perfect way to kill her. She would get a good long last look at the sky as she always wanted.

 Now sure someone would have to take Crystals place but I'm positive my Lieutenant could take on both Stars and Crystals Lieutenant for the spot of fourth commander (Crystal's position) with ease.

Star would most likely just be moved down from her current position as 2nd Commander if I decided to do as my sister did and leave her alive.

However, I am not my sister.

My lieutenant jumped up and perched herself up on the spiraling branch beside me and looked at where my dazed eyesight was. I was of course watching the trees bend and ache with the passage of White beard as I was thinking.

"I think Lieutenant Beg said something about that yes." My lieutenant stated watching my pleasure as my plans danced in my head. I halved turned towards her and smiled.

We were extremely close to The Pit and if those beasts got Star's team separated even more so then they were already I could use this time to strike. Just before my final blow of course.

Flames pov.

The Whitebeard pirate named Marco followed close behind Commander Star as we approached the tall looming castle ahead of us.

With the small banter and thick awkwardness that surrounded the group it wasn't hard to zone out most the normal walk to the castle.

I watched as Marco would glance every now and then at one of us as we walked side by side with the Whitebeard group. Cindy and I behind Star then two more behind us next to Whitebeard as he crushed the small bushes under him when he walked.

That man is to big.

"So Archer why is everyone so quiet-yoi?" Marco asked looking around us as Star kept walking obviously to far lost in her thoughts to really understand what was asked.

It was defiantly quiet but when I thought about it. I enjoyed the sounds of the birds chirp and the roars of the animals on the hunt. It was rather peaceful for me this was my home now. And I liked it. Defiantly better than that other place I came from where we were to crowded and civilized.
