Thread: Aspirations (Candira x Shake)

Kael smirked when she was commented on a better place to be then here, the man nodding his head as he agreed with her statement. Well, maybe there were a few places better to be then a random grassy hill. The thought of the castle coming to Kael's mind for only the briefest of moments before Lucy continued on. Kael turning his head to look at Lucy as she brought up his disappearances. The woman knew him oh to well and all he could do was smile to hear her concerns. You worry about me? Yeah right, I bet you want everyone to forget me somewhere so you can be the commander don't you Lucy? Kael joked, laughing as he looked back up at the sky. Their conversation seemed to jump to thoughts of time, Lucy recalling herself six years before. Kael's fun and childish look faded then as he thought about what she said. Six years ago, twelve, eighteen. None of it mattered to Kael. The only thing that mattered, the only time he would even judge his life to be worth anything was once his goal was achieved... Once his dream was a reality. Then he would start to look back at his success. And back on the topic of his success his mind would wander, plan and scheme how he could get what he wanted. To think his goals would be that much more easier to achieve if he had a soldier like the one he encountered the day before... Be it by chance or just a bizarre twist of fate the same mercenary that they had fought against the day before was making his way through the grassy fields. Two handed sword on his back, helmet tied to the man's belt, with nothing more then a cloak on to cover his armored body the mercenary that had taken down Baozu was walking by himself towards Thul. At first he was nothing more then a dot in the fields, but as he came closer his details started to define until Kael was able to determine that this was the same man. But before either Kael or Lucy could say or do anything, they would see a few of the Lion's on horse back. That's the guy! I am telling you that's the one that killed Baozu! One of the soldiers shouted on horseback as they passed Kael and Lucy, no doubt a scout that had come back to camp to warn a few guys. From how the soldiers had some armor on and weapons in hands, it was obvious that they meant to seek some revenge for their fallen brother. Kael propped himself up on his elbows, looking down as the mercenary was Surrounded by five men on horses... One of which was Biso. When did he get up. When Kael saw that Biso was a part of the group he would look to Lucy. You should probably get down there and stop them from getting themselves killed. Kael told her, the mercenary that was surrounded pulled his sword off of his back.. Holding it in front of him as the soldiers got off of their horses. Well look what we got here boys! Biso said, confident as ever with his brothers in arms around. This fuck thinks he is pretty bad shit since he took Baozu on. Got a lucky blow in a tell you, he might look tough but I bet he is nothing more then a piece of shit! Biso stated, the other four soldiers laughing as they stood with weapons at the ready. Well, let's avenge Baozu yadda yadda. Biso added, his interest much more on loot that this guy might have. A number of member's of the Lion Brigand were full blown thieves and raiders, still used to being a band of thieves then an organized mercenary group. Of course those individuals sworn an oath to never pillage again from defenseless villagers and the like, so when they came across soldiers and enemy mercenaries... well old habits die hard. But it seemed the dieing part wasn't so hard at the moment. Biso watch in horror as one after the other his fellow soldiers were cut down. The speed and strength that this man swung his sword with was almost unreal, four bloodied bodies laying on the ground now. All that was left was Biso and the mercenary, and the mercenary charged. Sword over head he had all intentions of closing the distance before cutting Biso straight down the middle.
