Thread: flectere si nequeo superos, Acheronta movebo (NoxRogue)

RE Flectere Si Equeo Superos, Achaeronta Movebo NoxRogue She grinned at him and his words, turning her gaze towards him shortly after he spoke. Oh, Yuri, you have such a way with words I find myself a bit flustered. She retorted playfully, although her playfulness was questioned in her mind. It almost seemed like an offer. An invitation, even. But, she quickly pushed the thoughts away from her mind and continued walking with him, her face twisting into a grimace at the rude comments of the older man. Her brows remained furrowed towards him after that, her arms crossed beneath her breasts, pushing the petite mounds of flesh upwards. And before long, they were moving to the castle. People seemed to part for them, as if their presence was intimidating to the people of the city. And admittedly, Liliana understood this fear of the Militia. They had been less than kind over the years to several cities, and no one wanted to be the butt of the brutality. Another set of thoughts she brushed from her mind before they came across the woods. She was taken aback by the condition that the plant life was in. Of course, in winter, it was only customary for the trees to be lacking in green and lively appearance, but these trees seemed far more than dead. As if the castle that they were approaching had been sapping the life from them since they had budded into plants. She turned her gaze towards him to find him intent on their mission, staring ahead as he often did when something like this came about. She returned her gaze to the path ahead of them, now deciding to ignore any of her thoughts should they plague her. All were negative and weary, shed nearly found herself frightened already. And finally, they happened upon the large castle, mansion, whatever one would call it. And once inside they gate, he laid out their formation. She made her way beside him, as he had requested, and watched and waited patiently as the other members fell into line. And it was in they went. It wasnt hard to assume that this place was haunted or damned, each and every inch of the castle was foreboding ominous and almost frightening. The place had been well constructed, and would have easily cost over three million Ell with all of the marble and intricate designs. However, as they moved towards the area that had the presumed barrier, nothing of the sort seemed to come into view, and soon Yuri stated such. Liliana did not hear the groan, and she had been watching the solider that had moved away from the group just before he had turned into ash. She had sucked in a gasp, covering her mouth in her surprise before creatures began to fill the hallway shortly after Yuris warning. Her gaze jerked towards them, and she swallowed the bit of fear she was beginning to feel. Her hand pushed back the coat before sliding along her thigh and gripping the hilt of a long, dagger. She jerked it from the sheath and awaited for them to move in any closer before she herself began to combat them. And, like most women, her movements were flashy and showy. A grand display of flexibility and agility, both working to her advantage as she seemed duck and dodge, stabbing and slicing through only when it was appropriate and she had found an opening. And she had done what she could to keep her spot in the formation, while making sure, as best she could, that the soldiers behind her were also kept from harm. Had she not been a part of the mission, had she not met Yuri, she would have left them there. But having worked with Yuri for so long, she herself had finally begun to feel a sense of righteousness. And urge to fulfill and do what she knew was right. But this being said, she stayed with him. Fear was obvious in her eyes, but determination latent in her heart.
