Thread: To drop down the chain (Raziel and Devxx)

The figures moved quietly around the camp and they surrounded the enemy soldiers. A whole battalion of men had been pulled specifically for this mission and they were going to make sure it went off without a hitch. A figure in black armor stood out amongst the others as they raised their hand in the air before bringing it back down in a quick slicing motion. That was the signal the rest of the men had been waiting for as they charged towards the camp, their weapons raised to attack. The raid had been quick and the enemies had been completely caught off guard as they were rushed and attacked. The black figure moved along with the rest of the knights as they sliced down anyone who got in their way towards the tent. The mission had been to destroy the camp but the main objective was to capture the prince. The tent had been easy to break into and the lieutenants had been easily disposed of when the black knight brought down their sword and knocked out the prince. The other men carried him on the back of the wagon and made sure that his hands and legs were bound together and that his mouth was gagged. Even though they had him captured it was still dangerous until they got back to the castle. The figure breathed a sigh of relief as they got to the shadow of the castle. The draw bridge came down and the group was led inside the castle. The men lifted Alexander up off the wagon and dragged him none too gently towards the throne room where the king was currently sitting. King Thumil VII was an old man who had been quite a war dog in his day. The man was a brilliant general and made sure that only the best made it into the ranks of his troops. The King looked down at Alexander with a smirk as he motioned for the captain of his troops to move forward so they could discuss what happened. He also motioned for one of the other men to remove the gag from his mouth so he could speak. Sir, we have captured the prince. The knight said as they lifted up the helmet and bowed down on one knee. Anyone outside of the castle would have been shocked to see what was under that helmet. Most outside the kingdom thought of Illiya's black knight as a terrifying man whose presence alone would make normal men quake. Never would they have thought that under all that armor was a young woman, no older then her early twenties with pale gray eyes and long blond hair. Underneath all that armor Sabine looked like more of a bar maid then a terrifying warrior but her penchant for battle was unmatched by any man twice her size. Brilliant Sabine. I'm sure his father will be willing to negotiate when he learns what we have in our custody. King Thumil said with a chuckle as he motioned for her to rise. Yes, the prince would be an invaluable pawn in this war and if everything work out according to plan then it would end in a matter of a few short months. Well your highness, I hope you will find our company pleasant. The original plan had been to keep the young man locked away in the dungeon but plans had changed over the course of the past couple of days. King Thumil didn't just want to beat his enemy, he wanted to embarrass them and destroy them from the inside out. No, this young prince would feel the wrath that the king had towards the enemy kingdom. Sabine. Time and time again you have proved to be one of my best warriors. I believe a reward is in order. You may have the prince as your slave until we come to a conclusion with the enemy. Sabine's eyes widened in shock as she looked over at the man still bound and tied up. If this was the king's idea of a reward then she would have happily passed it up. Because of that stupid royal and his father she had seen many of her men die in battle and she would have been more then happy to see him rot in a dungeon. Yet she didn't have a choice in this matter and going against the King's wishes was not something one could do. Thank you your highness. Sabine said as she bowed to him. This was going to be a very annoying day.
