One-shits: Spirit Animals (Memes, Theories And More)

Carry Your Throne (Part One)

Just some saddish stuff. Title is of song. Not too heavy, enjoy!

The mission was supposed to be easy. In and out of a small Zhongese community, finding information about the Dragon's eye. Instead the team learned the hard way that the place was overrun by Oathbound soldiers, all of which were ordered to kill Greencloaks on sight. They lost Anya somewhere in the city, and were all alone without adult-ish guidance as Rollan put it.

"You guys need to go," Meilin demands loudly. The group was being overwhelmed by Oathbound and Abeke was trying to get a boat from the dock while Conor and Worthy watched her back. Thankfully there was a small arch imbedded in the wall that acted like a funnel, only allowing a few guards through, those who passed Meilin and Rollan.

Rollan grunts loudly driving his sword into one guards foot and kicking him in the chest, "no one is being left behind!"

"Someone has too!" Meilin hisses at Rollan, "the arch needs to be knocked down so that the guards can't jump on the boat."

Rollan takes a step back so that him and Meilin were back-to-back, "then you go and I do it."

"That's not how this works-duck!" Meilin yells as a sword swipes at her head. Rollan listens and the blade almost gave him a new hairdo. Meilin lifts up her fist and drives it under a weak point in the armour. The man grunts and falls backwards, knocking over three other guards.

"Nice, anyways as I was saying-"

"This is not a good time for us to argue-"

"Then great, it's settled. You leave and I stay-"

"Oh please," Meilin lifts a dagger and blocks an axe kicking the guys knee. With a loud pop and scream he falls to the ground, "you can't fight like I do. You can stop about three perps, top."

"Oh really? Is that a challenge?"

"Now is not a good time for your ego-"

"Duck," Rollan demands and with an annoyed groan Meilin listens. Rollan swings his sword over her head and it sinks into a guys side, without waiting he jumps over Meilin takes the sword out, hits another man in the leg, and side kicks a person running at him. The three men all fall and Rollan looks back at Meilin with a know-it-all smirk before punching another guard in the face.

"That was like four, right?" He asks Meilin who stands back up and back kicks a guy.

"This isn't over," Meilin warns.

"Like hell it's not, have you seen how many guys there are?"

The argument get's interrupted by Abeke yelling, "I got a boat! Now the both of you put your egos aside, and get on!"

Meilin summons Jhi and the panda squashes five guards before being put back in passive, "that was five, right?"

Essix screeches in approval as she dives down to claw at a woman's face.
"First off all that was all Jhi, secondly someone still has to stay behind," Rollan points out.

"You are 100% correct. Bye, love you," Meilin says before kicking Rollan in the stomach and sending him backwards onto the ship deck. The breath get's knocked out of him and he groans loudly as two worn down hands grab him and drag him on the boat. Conor.

"What, Meilin-" Rollan bolts upright to see the Zhongese girl summon Jhi and hit the arch with all her might. Rollan watches in shock as the wall crumbles like sand, "no, wait, we have to go back!" Rollan demands spinning to Conor who won't look him in the eye, "Meilin is still there-"

"We know," Worthy interrupts, "it was her plan," he rubs his face underneath the mask, "it was a horrible plan, but we didn't know how many Oathbound would be there."
