Thread: Chains of Gossamer ~ Ashiaka & AlureNova

Kira was one of the few female knights in her kingdom, her strength and absolute determination had propelled her far past what people had expected and into the ranks of the honorable and legendary knights of the Kingdom of Roanoc. They had always been known as the most powerful and well-trained knights in the lands and among them Kira was known as one of the most skilled. So she had made a name for herself and thus had been sent with a unit to investigate and take action against a kingdom that had been said to rise up in a short among of time. She had essentially been sent to crush the kingdom, to take them out before they could become competition and that had been what she had attempted to do. Little did she know that the kingdom they had believed to be rising up had already become more formidable than her forces could take and what should have been an easy battle was a complete loss and her men were demolished. Many of them even ended up being captured and among those was Kira herself, the beautiful knight tossed into a cell of her own and given nothing from basic courtesy to the honor she deserved as a knight. It seemed that while the kingdom had risen up in standing and power that they were still barbarians, which was further proven the next morning when they proclaimed the execution of her and her men. It was devastating really, she had expected an easy victory against them and now she was sentenced to death. Bastards... She muttered, growling as men approached her cell that morning with shackles. She fought but she was weak, a few injuries still fresh on her otherwise flawless porcelain flesh, and they eventually got her in the shackles. That didn't stop her but she was dragged out of the castle and down the street, the rest of her men walking behind with their heads down, resigned to her fate. Kira would not give up however and her spirited blue eyes shone bright as she tugged and snapped at the men holding her, many of them still remembering her fury on the battlefield and flinching with each sudden movement. They weren't about to stop though and she found herself being dragged onto the wooden platform, an executioner with a large chinked ax waiting for her. She was still snarling however, her black hair wild, strands across her beautiful hate filled face. Cowards! Barbarians! This is how you treat prisoners of war?! I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, you have been given all of this without being taught how to act and be humble! She snarled again, being forced to her knees and looking up at the executioner, Come on, show everyone what kind of a man you are and finish me off! Without him saying anything he lifted the ax up and prepared himself, waiting for those leading her to slam her head down onto the wooden block, holding her down as best they could as the crowd cheered around them. The crowd was going crazy, waiting to see the female knight killed, many of them just loving to watch enemies die but some being plain sexist, their culture still primitive, they believed women couldn't be warriors. As much as she seemed barbaric in her own way, Kira's constant shouting and rage filled struggle, but something about her was elegant and refined, beautiful to a point that was undeniable.
