Popular Post Zygon Posted March 19, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 19, 2018 Zygon was sitting in his room reading a book on grammar. It wasn’t that he needed the practice or anything, but he really did need the practice. It was late and outside snow was falling softly. Winterfell had been at edge for weeks now as rumors of war had come from seemingly everywhere. Tonight was peaceful and quiet. At least it was until Zygon heard footsteps running down the hall towards his room. They slowed to a stop outside his door and muffled words leaked through the doors as whoever was outside talked to the guards. The door opened and Ballard walked in with a slip of paper gripped tightly in his hand. “My lord, we’ve received a raven. We don’t where it flew from or it’s sender. Only the note that it was carrying.” Ballard said holding out the paper to Zygon, who sighed, and took it. He read it over a couple of times. “How prepared are we?” Zygon asked, putting the note aside. “As ready as we can be. We’ve been ready for a long time.” Ballard said and Zygon nodded. There had been rumors that war was going to be happening for months now., though it felt like years. Whispers of massive armies consolidating power with the word DYNAMIC ™ had been drifting up North for some time. If what the note said was true, then people we’re fighting back against this power, whatever it was. “It’s time for us to join the fray. We can’t stand idly by while everyone else has all the fun can we?” Zygon said. He stood up and walked over to the fireplace where his father’s sword hung above the mantle. It had been years since it drew blood. It thirsted for blood just as the Men of the North did. Zygon carefully took it from its place and turned to Ballard. He nodded to his unspoken question and Ballard left the room to ready the armies for war. * * * Roquentin hated the open sea. It made his guinea pig nose quiver in fear. He knew that he’d never recover from the pain and loss caused by the Clowns in that fateful war. Now that there was a fog over the ocean, it only made his fear worse. You never knew what was resting just out of sight, ready to attack. “Try and send a signal to the ships around us. We’re going to continue on our present course and hope that we’re near land.” Roq ordered one of his crew. He tried to recall the maps of this ocean he had been pondering over before the battle had begun. There was land somewhere, unfamiliar to IQ and to many others. They managed to get a signal to some of the ships around them and together with the signals of lanterns, they began to slowly move in search of land. As the day wore on and the sun rose higher in the sky, the fog began to disperse, replaced by slow snowfall but revealing a shadowy mass not afar off. Roq ran to the front of his ship to get a better look. It was without a doubt, land. “Land! Land Ho!” he shouted, his stub of a tail wagging in delight “Send a signal to the others if they haven’t seen it! Make ready to disembark!” The ships became a bustle of activity as everyone prepared to beach. A lone wolf howl drifted through the air and the shoreline came more easily into view through the fog. It was a large beach, but it would still be crowded with many of the IQ ships hauled up on it. There was a plentiful forest on either side and farther back from the beach stood a hill. It would make a good place to make camp during their stay here. The ships came into contact with the shore and the crews jumped out of their ships to hoist them ashore. When his was fully beached, Roq disembarked and began to bark orders to his crew, telling them what to unload or where to set up preliminary camp. Around him the other ships were disembarking as well and Legionaries were coming up to Roq waiting for instructions. A wolf howled again, followed by more wolves joining in. Auctor ran up to Roq.. “We’ve noticed movement in the trees around us. There’s got to be hundreds of wolves out there.” Auctor said breathlessly. Adrenaline was clearly coursing through his system. “We’ll build a massive bonfire. Have everyone take up arms in case they attack.” Roq replied, loosening his sword from its sheath. They never could get a break. First, the clowns, then pirates, then another war, and now wolves of all things to attack them. As Auctor ran off, to relay his orders, the wolves reached a peak of howling before dying back down. All was silent except for the wind blowing snow slowly across the landscape. A chill ran down Roq’s spine and all of his fur stood on end. This was not good, not good at all. “Form up on me! Now!” Roq yelled pulling out his sword. In less than a minute everyone had formed a semi-circle facing away from the beach. One wolf howled and a figure appeared on the hill with a broadsword resting on its shoulder. “Who are you?” Roq yelled, “In the name of The Inquisition state your name!” The figure on the hill remained quiet. Roq took a quick glance around then looked back to the figure on the hill. But he was no longer alone. A massive wolf was on the hill next to him. It raised its head and howled. This time, a chorus followed as the rest of the wolves joined in. When they died off, Roq again yelled to the figure on the hill. “I say again, in the name of The Inquisition, who are you?” “Who is this Inquisition you speak of? And who are you?” The figure yelled back. A confused gasp escaped from several people around Roq. Who was this imbecile that didn’t know who the great IQ was or Papa Roq? “I am Roquentin, Emperor of the New Pacific Order. I’m also God-Emperor of The Inquisition, the greatest empire to ever rule the world. I have authority over all things our flag flies upon. If you look behind us, you’ll see that flag. That means that you are under my reign and authority.” Roq said “I do not recognise the authority of you, or that of The Inquisition. Take your ships and go back from where you came from, or face the consequences.” the figure moved his sword from his shoulder and placed the tip into the ground and spread his hands. Clearly this was a reasonable request to him. But that didn’t fly in IQ. “You dare threaten me? Surrender now and we may spare some of your people.” Roq snarled. First this person hadn’t heard of IQ, and now he was bold enough to threaten the greatest empire that ever reigned over the world. “I am Zygon of House Stark, First of His Name, King in the North, Protector of the Realm, Misspeller of Werdz, Killer of Dragons, and Harbinger of Justice. I defy you and your empire. I say to you one final time, go back from whence you came and leave us alone.” “And I say to you, King in the North, bend the knee or die.” Zygon laughed and raised his sword in salute to Roq. “Sorry, I’m not one to kneel. I know now that you are one of the ones involved in wars in the south, and I also know that our allies are involved in these wars. You were given two chances to leave and did not heed them. Now I, Zygon of House Stark and the only King in the North, sentence you and your men to die. I swear that this will be carried out by my hand and my men, in the name of the old gods and the new.” From behind Zygon a mass of people appeared over the crest of the hill. Northerners, and a lot of them. They soon broke into a run and a wave of direwolves busted through their ranks running towards them. Roq had just enough time to register that forces were coming from all sides, not just in front of them. It was only a matter of time before the Legionnaires were overwhelmed and overrun. This was it, the end. Roq was taken aback by his fear. He was an Emperor, and not supposed to be afraid. But the pile of guinea pellets he’d dropped smelled otherwise As Zygon ran towards Roq the Legionnaires broke ranks and tried to run. They lost their cohesive structure and Men of the North quickly filled the holes in their ranks killing them quickly. Darth Revan lead a force to outflank the Legionnaires and burn the boats. Roq and his men would be stranded on the beach, and then they would die on the beach. Roquentin knew in that moment, he done diddly messed up.

Popular Post Jroc Posted March 19, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 19, 2018 Meanwhile: It is a dreary day within the Halls of Jroc. The wind whispers in and out, softly echoing "waaarrrr isss comiiiing", unheard by any mortals but the mice. They scatter to the corners of the Halls and refuse to come out. The murmurs grow with each passing minute, but nobody inside the Halls pays any attention. The chamber lightens up as the shadows and embers begin their ceaseless dance. The candles around the poker tables flicker with vacillation, shifting with discomfort among the whispering winds. They mutter amongst themselves quietly. Candles: Is it true, they will march? Wind: Warrrr isss comiiiing... Candles: Who will light us when they leave? WInd: Warrrr isss comiiiing... The whispers quiet down, with only a gently ticking clock to mark the approaching hour. The merry company is oblivious to it all as the men and Lords drink and eat and play poker. "My Lords, my Lords, King Zygon calls for war. You are all ordered to ride out immediately.” A breathless messenger rushes through the doors of the Halls and darts past the guards before they can react. Darth Ataxia rises up first to give charge to the revelers, who have ominously fallen silent. "Suit up. War is here." The whispers climb as the candles blaze to life, freed of speculation. Flickering lights turn into bright, dancing flames. The wind whisks the message through the Halls, growing sharper with each cycle. War… iss… here… war… isss… here... Darth Slam acts quickly, donning the heavy armor that Jroc had blocked him from gambling. He barks out orders, wasting no time. "Get off your ass, Jroc, get your men ready!" Blackatron tosses his cards onto the table and gallops to his manor to gather his men. “I wish Jroc didn’t make me do that keg stand,” he mutters, leaning low into his horse’s mane. It doesn’t take long for House Stark to reconvene. Soldiers march, war drums beat, and the dire wolves prowl, tails flicking. War is the only thing on anyone’s mind.Darth Ataxia’s lightsaber radiates a brilliant red, Slam’s men can be heard clinking their shields and swords, Blackatron’s men chant something about Roq’s momma... it’s a strange scene: Jroc appears slightly drunk as he unsteadily readies his saddlebags while Slam loudly knocks down bottles of whiskey. The signal is given. They ride as one, men and Lords and horses and dire wolves pounding out a steady beat on the ground. The winds come alive with a flurry, dancing and shrieking into the night, all too delighted to be unleashed. They fly toward the enemies of House Stark, but this time carrying a different mantra. Death is at your doorstep. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
