Thread: Endless War (Spyke LionxKayLove)

Haine sensed it seconds before it happened. A sudden gust emerging from the tops of the trees signaled it to him, and he instantly reached his hand back to grasp the hilt of his massive blade, his muscles burning to remove it from his back. Ortega quickly reached back a hand to stop him, making the black knight snarl in frustration. Still, the massive man obeyed with all his might, gently releasing the tight grip on his sword. Suddenly, out from the trees rolled a blonde woman, a blade ready in her hands. The horses jump back slightly in surprise, their whinnies echoing around the massive tree trunks. As she stepped forth, more amazons emerged from the threes, weapons also in their hands. Haine cursed, subconsciously holding onto to his massive sword hilt. Greetings. Ortega nodded, smiling to the warrior women. I am Command Cornelius Ortega, officer to the king. She said nothing to him, instead reaching over her blade to lift the amulet from Ortega, examining it closely. Although Haine didn't remove his sword, he still watched cautiously, ready to reach out with his heavy blade if needed. Instead, she calmly withdrew her sword, and started barking some orders to the other women in their strange languge. When she finally spoke, Ortega bowed his head politely with the grin still plastered on his lips. Splendid, thank you. Come on, Haine, we shall arrive there soon. Haine briefly made contact with the leader of the group of warriors, studying her gaze for that instant. The look in her eyes was familiar... he had seen it on the battlefield from the more experienced, skilled fighters. That gave him all the info he needed, and quickly grew wary of how dangerous these warrior women actually were. Finally, he removed his heavy gauntlet from the hilt of his sword, the other warriors gathering around both him and Ortega. He was finally able to truly see what the amazons were like. Some, like the woman who greeted them, had an impressive fighting aura. The others, the younger ones, still looked green. Each of them were armored, but the amount varied- each of them were not afraid to show their skin and legs, and he guessed that it had something to do with evasiveness and maneuverability. As they circled them, Haine could already feel the stairs. They weren't like the usual stares from the women he would get back in the city-they would only giggle and whisper to each other, blinking there eyes at him before scuttling away. These women were staring at him like some sort of gift- almost like a fine stallion. While some giggled behind his back, he could tell that he was being studied, his large, muscled, bulky frame hard to not notice. Don't mind them Haine. Ortega smiled, looking back. Take it as a compliment. Tch. Haine lightly snarled, his icy blue eyes sweeping left to right. He refused to open his mouth- anything he said would have mostly likely been insulting. Relax, Black Knight. Ortega said, looking forward as the trees began to clear, the reveal of the city just moments away. There's no need for violence here. Just do as I say, don't speak unless you have permission or are spoken to, and like I said before- I hear you, old man. Haine bit back in response. Ortega chuckled, Haine trotting his horse faster to walk beside the old commander, his icy blue eyes on what he would see ahead. In just mere moments, the amazons led through into a clearing, and Haine could hear what sounded like a massive, powerful river. And then he saw it. The Great City of Floria was exactly how Ortega described it to be, unlike any city he had ever seen before. It was built on a landmass in the middle of the river, and although they were staring at it from a distance, he could see the incredible craftsman and skill it had taken to build. Now that they were out of the forest, the sun beamed on them brightly, shining over the incredible city. He could pick out an impressive statue near the middle of the empowering civilization, the sun blinding his view just enough so that he couldn't see its details. Haine and Ortega took a moment to stare the city before getting pushed on by the group of amazon warriors, heading over towards its large, decorative gate that guarded entry into the city. Alright, Haine. Ortega smiled, placing a hand on his comrade's shoulder. Keep your cool.
