Pashiva 4 The Duln Saga

The Uninvited Guest, A House Divided

    At the house in which the Brown Cloaks were staying at, everyone was inside lounging around while Felren was introducing Regenri to the group and explaining the story of how Lucius became a threat to everyone in Duln. Everyone seemed interested with the exception of Melat who seemed mainly annoyed at the sound of another problem in the country. "So that's the situation". Felren said. "This Lucius, he's the one running the Ferocious Riders huh"? Eresil asked. "And he has a full set of Pashiva Armor"? Naytan asked. "Improved Pashiva Armor". Pyroy answered. "How're we supposed to beat him"? Naytan asked. "We'd need a long time to plan, like about a couple of weeks of preparation". Array said. "Especially if our goal is to dethrone an entire militia". Anita added. "That's the thing, I believe I've already come up with a decent plan on how to defeat Lucius and The Ferocious Riders". Felren said. Everyone listened in with the exception of Regenri who was told of the plan when he and Felren spoke privately earlier. "By the way, Regenri, what happened with you? Like why're you being chased after if you're not some monster"? Eresil asked. Regenri looked away from everyone momentarily and looked back at Eresil. "Its complicated, and personal". Regenri answered. Eresil respected his answer and listened in on Felren's plan. "So what I'm thinking is this, we divide our group into three teams. Regenri and I will be walking together on the pathway to Eden, the capital of the city. We'll use ourselves as bait and Naytan, I want you, Array and Anita to charge from the left of us and pretend to attack us and make as much of a commotion as possible. Hopefully when we do this we'll attract the Riders. Once the Riders show up, Eresil, you, Pyroy and Melat will ambush the Riders, catching them off guard. The rest of us will turn our attention onto them and swoop in for the kill. Melat, you're the strongest of us, so you and I will work together to defeat Lucius, while the stronger of us will focus on the other strong members of the Riders". Felren explained thoroughly. Everyone seemed on board with this plan with the exception of Array, Pyroy and Anita who seemed hesitant. Melat on the other hand seemed bitter and angry with Felren. Felren looked over to Melat curiously. "What's wrong"? Felren asked as if he already knew the answer. "You forgot our little argument earlier"? Melat asked bitterly. Felren then became annoyed. "Look Melat I've come up with a plan on how to beat....". Felren said before Melat cut in. "You came up with a plan before coming up with one on how to save my mom"? Melat interrogated. "Melat, calm down, Felren came up with this plan while we were here. It wouldn't be right to abandon his country and leave it to die". Naytan said. "SO IT'S ALRIGHT TO LEAVE MY MOM TO DIE IS THAT IT"? Melat yelled while slamming his fist on the coffee table in the room. "This is my country". Felren said. "This is my mom". Melat said. The two stared at each other angrily again similarly to before. "This is similar to the argument we had before". Felren said. "It is". Melat replied. "Melat, these guys have been ruling my country as a dictatorship for months now, and they've been chasing after Regenri for months now". Felren said. "Then we'll escape with him, that way they cant kill him and they cant claim the money for doing so. My mom's been arrested for two weeks now and for all we know could be dead now. And while we still don't know what her situation is we have to solve every problem we come across". Melat said heartfelt. "I'VE FOUGHT FOR EVERYONE IN THIS ROOM. I'VE SOLVED EVERY PROBLEM WE'VE COME ACROSS. I CANT GET THIS ONE THING". Melat yelled angrily. Felren seemed to have ignored his plea and only focused on his situation. Instead the two decided to head back to their rooms and call it a day. Meanwhile the rest of the Brown Cloaks and Regenri watched as the two friends start to split themselves apart from each other. Regenri turned towards the others. "Hey look, if I'm the one whose gonna tear your friendship apart then I'll just leave". Regenri said. "Don't even think about it. We'll work this out". Naytan said. "I'm sure they'll work something out". Eresil said. "I hope so, we have a situation here to fix and another in some random location to fix". Array added. Later that night Felren and Melat were sleeping in separate bedrooms with everyone else divided into these separate rooms. Felren was lying face up, wide awake. Pondering about the fate of his country he remembered how yesterday, Naytan took the Strength Gauntlets and placed them on the balcony outside. Felren then got up and slowly tip toed his way to the balcony. Felren seems to be plotting something to do with these gauntlets and fulfill his ambition and save Duln. While Melat quietly slumbers away, hoping to leave Duln as soon as possible and save Chara.
Meanwhile in a far away hulled region of the world, it's dark night, and a pair of two hooded figures with veils covering the bottom of their face and were wearing skin tight black and white leather. They both carried small knives and, a revolver on a holster at their side and a small satchel on their side. Suddenly on the hill a toned, tall, figure stood atop staring down at the two men. The hooded men then noticed the figure at the top. Upon looking closer at the man they noticed it had darker red skin then any other creature known to man. "We found it". One hooded man said. "The Under Lord". The other said. "HALOK". The two said in unison.
