“Why in the Abyss are we out here again, sir?” said Len Kevor, Oak Knight.
“By Palador’s Beard how many times are you going to ask that!” said Sir Lord Harrin Wyrmsbane, Knight of the Queen. “We are here to establish better ties with the Lykin!”
“The Lion people?”
“The Lion people.” Sighed the old Queen’s Knight, Wyrmsbane had been a King’s Kight under Kalana’s grand father, King Theran II, his beard was as long and as thick as the best Dwarven beards. “We are going to reintroduce the worship Crustai here, the currently worship Fabian and Palador, just under different names…”
“Is that what the Cleric is for? She’s a looker.”
“Yes, and that is not an appropriate thought for a Knight Kevor…”
“Yessir……”
The Unit of Knights, 100 men, and their accompanying men-at-arms, roughly 150, and one Cleric, High Cleric Alexis of Temple Crustai. They had been wandering Lykin territory for a few days now and had yet to run into a single Lykin.

"You followed them all the way here from the border?" asked Nexx leader of fire region patrol 1.
The scout nodded " From what I could see there is about 150 men give or take."
Nexx droped his head and sighed thinking, they never taught us how to deal with this. He turned his head to the one person he never wanted to ask for help from. "Nav what should we do?"
Nav the head of all fire patrols layed on a rock a few yards away. She turned her face to Nexx and small smirk appeared upon her face. She lifted herself up from the rock and strode over to where Nexx and the scout stood. She looked down at the humans and said to Nexx, "What can't do this yourself?"
Nav growled at this remarked, " You know they don't teach us this stuff at the temple".
"It is common sense little brother."
"What is common sense, I am pretty sure battling 150 men with only 50 is not common."
Slapping her hand against her fohead "Oh for the love of...., just watch and learn." She climbed to the top of the hill lift her hand up in the air, and above her palm the air started to become blurry then a small fireball burst there. She lowered her hand and took aim at the human who appeared to be in charge of the small force of humans. She flung the fireball straight at the human's feet deliberately missing him. She then yelled "What business do you have here" Already having another fireball ready.

(( BTW, 250....100 Knights, 150 Men-at-Arms...)) Wyrmsbane, despite his age, manged to reign his horse in, draw his sword, and command his half-Unit, Wyrmsband had decied that I was best NOT to bring 350 men into unknown territory. Two comapines of Knights, Oaks on foot armed with swords and shields and Lance Knights armed with the Holy Lance formed ranks in front of Lord Wyrmsbane. "I am Sir Lord Harrin Wyrmsbane, Knight of the Queen of the Honorable Knights of Kalor, Master of Del-Aiv Keep" the old Knight wheezed/yelled. "We come in peace, with weapons sheathed and we are attacked....Is this how you would greet those how have knowledge of your "Lost God" or should I say Goddess?" Behind him the men-at-arms shifted nervously... ((Also, exact Numbers....64 Oak Knights, on foot. 64 Lance Knights,Mounted. Wyrmsbane and entourage, 8, mounted all but Wyrmsbane armed with Lances. so 136 Knights. One swordsmen Regiment of men-at-arms, 128, round bucklers and short swords. Total fighting men: 264..... heh, bigger than I though )

"261...262...263...264. You said there were 150" said Nexx looking at the scout.
The scout turned nervously toward Nexx and feebly said, " I miss counted. I am sorry sir it won't happen again."
Nexx stood there and glared at the scout, "You are lucky that those humans are not here to kill us; but because of your mistake you will are here by assigned to rogue dragon hunting."
As soon as the words left Nexx's mouth, the color of the scout's fur faded, and he started to say, "B-b-b-but sir, I hardly believe that..."
"That is an order soldier; your mistake could have cost the lives of this sqaud, and started a war between the Lykin and humans, you are getting off easy." Nexx shouted at the scout, and turned to the rest of the squad and said, " Now wait here men, I have to go try to prevent a war from breaking out."
"Wait little brother take this", Nav said handing him her claymore " You can easily take a few out with each swing if they try something funny."
"Sorry sis I am better off duel wielding my double-bladed swords, besides I doubt I will need them." He turned and started walking towards the humans, he clinched his paw tight in fear that the humans would kill him. He tryed his best not to show his fear through his eyes but he had a feeling that someone would notice. As he got within 25 feet of the humans he stoped and said, " I am Nexx leader of fire patrol 1. I am sorry for my troop's rude behavior. We are not use to seeing other races so we have very little background knowledge of you. So I can hope you can understand why she did what she did." He turned his eyes towards the troops that were behind the old knight and he remebered the number of men he had counted earlyer and he gulped fearfully.

Wyrmsband chuckled. "No harm done, right? You are an isolationist people, I'm sure most forgieners are enemies not herald of your lost Godess......"

Hidden in the shadows of the many trees Shamurahs platoon of Shadow Walkers stood silently listing to what the other races where talking about his masters would be pleased at the report.
The only thing that worried Shamurah was not that his group of Shadow Walkers would be found, but the group of Urgals a little way back they had been quiet thus far but the wind was blowing fiercely and could easily change direction and carry with it the the mighty stench of the Urgals.

((You know I just realized where I knew the Urgals from...Eragon....no matter))
A few of the Knights horsed began to bray and move about nervously.

(actually thats where the idea came from, but I made some modifications.)
Shamurah winced as the horses swayed its possible that they can smell them, but maybe the humans will not notice it would be extremely bad if the wind changed. Shamurah looked at the tops of the trees they stirred wildly then he glanced at the cat creatures faces hoping those big honkers called noses would not catch the Urgals stench.

Nexx slowly breathed through his nose has he watched the human's horses bray about. Suddley a putrid odor enter his nostrils and his face twisted a little at it. Thinking to himself, What in Zano's name is that, we are no where near the Desolate Swap where there are thing that smell much worst. He looked up at his sister who still stood on the hill and she seemed to have smelled it to but she was staring at a nearby by forest He started pondering, Could the humans be trying something. He turned his attention back to the old knight and asked, "Lord Harrin I counted 264 men on top of the hill before I came down. So I have to ask do you have any other men roaming about, ones that happen to reek of a terrible odor."

Lord Wyrmbane laughed, "Terrible odor?" Then Lord Wyrmsbane caught a wiff of the scent I don't think that's us. Those could be Urgals..." He drew his sword. "I've seen them once, a long time ago. We fought them in a skirmish...not the best fighters but strong. I think It would be prudent to move to the top of the hill." He signaled his Unit and they moved to form a defensive ring at the summitt of the hill. Oak Knights and men-at-arms in front Lance Knights behind ready to make a charge.

Shamurah winched as he relized the Urgals where here. Pointing at one of his men and whisering "You tell the Urgals to fall back a ways and tell them to be quite or so help me Ill kill them and serve there skins and souls to the shades!" "Yes sir."

Nexx followed Lord Wyrmsbane up the hill, as he reached the top he gave a sharp whistle to his troops. In which his troops quickly marched up the hill and soon joined the defence ring. "Men and women it seems we are going to have a small battle at hand. So prepare yourself."
"Are you sure of that brother?", said Nav as she drew her claymore from her back.
"Well lets find out." With this being said Nexx removed his chakram from his back and entered a trance. His eyes fixated on the trees he soon started chanting, and his mane slowly lifted up. It started to steam and with a small explosion his mane became fire itself and his chanting continue till the point his flaming mane became a dark blue flame. His chanting then stoped and he glanced down at his chakram and like his mane it had become a dark blue flame. He lifted up his arm and with a great heave of strength he threw his chakram at the forest's top. Then directing the chakram's movement with his hand it had soon set a blazed to the entire forest. With in seconds of the fire animals were fleeing the grove. "Soon we shall see how many we face."

Shamura slapped his face and slowly slide it down "Have the Urgals fall back to the boarder of this land and take half of the other Shadow walkers with you" "If you say so sir." Shamura turned his attention to the problem at hand the forest was burning soon there would be no shadows, but for the moment they danced everywhere do to the flames and smoke. "Only the most elite of you come with me now." Following the path of shadows dancing to and fro with the shadows of fire and smoke the Shadows Walkers made not a sound as they made there way along the ground to the mass of soldiers then with a magical carried thought "All of you find a soldier your size then blend with there shadows we will leave them at dark till then not a word. Got it?" many thoughts came back in quick succession. "Yes sir!" And so the Shadow Walkers did just that blended with the shadows of the enemy's they where truly right beneath there noses.

Mage Ronsdar was walking through the forest when He say a horde of people forming into what looked like to be a skirmish line. He walked up to one of them. "What is the meaning of this battle Line?" Rinsdar awaited for the reply.

The High Cleric Alexis was not fool. The Shadow Walker were as clear as day to a Cleric of her immense power. She said nothing for a moment. She gracfully walked up to Wyrmsbane and wispered in his ear. He stiffed a little and glance at his shadow. "Let me know if they become hostile..." he said to the Cleric. The beautiful women simply nodded and moved back to her original position behind a pair of Oak Knights.

"It is none of your concern creature", said Nexx glaring at Ronsdar has he slowly drew his double bladed short sword. "Now that I have answered your question you answer mine, what were you doing in our forest?"

" I was just flying over head and saw something interseting. I will take my leave of you now." Ronsdar went around the fire and telepoted himself to Krashnor.

Wyrmsbane moved next to Nexx and whispered in his ear. "We have picked up a number of Shadow Walkers. They are currently just standing there, but be prepared."

Shamurah heard the clerics words but didn't really care as long as he's troops didn't screw up they would be fine... or so he hoped.

((................................................))
Nexx turned his head towards Wyrmsbane and nodded. He then turned his attention to the small army of humans and Lykin and examined them all. His eyes fell upon then Cleric and study her; has he study her he remembered what the human said earlier about them having information about The Lost God. “Sir Wyrmsbane you said you had info about our Lost God, if this is true The King will have to know of it first. Do you think all your men can take a 3 day hike to the capital or do some of them need rest?” , said Nexx has he slowly put his double-bladed short sword back on his back.

"Yes, we do. And no. We can march now...you'll have to lead the way, seeming as we've never been here." The knights on hearing their leader's comments groaned a little, but moved into the tight formation the knights used when traveling.

Nexx smiled at the moans of the human knights. He then turned his attention back towards his own men and said, "Alright group A scout ahead I want no more surprises, group B fall in behind the humans, and group C stay behind and keep patrolling our area." When Nexx finished giving out the orders the Lykin moved swiftly to do there task. The Lykin who were in group A sheathed there weapons and crouched down on all four; whilst group B fell in behind the knights and group C lingered back over the hill to the Lykin's camp site.
"Well I must be off my brother”, Nav said to her brother "I have to go file the reports on each patrol unit."
"I understand, even though I wish you could accompany us, your duties come first."
Nav saluted her brother and walked off back over the hill, to the burning deserts of the fire region. Nexx turned back to his men and yelled, "Move out." Group A shot off on all four in a north eastern direction. Nexx, his men, and the humans shortly followed.......
