Inferno in the Ice (Khelek)|Khelek

[Kender Bard]

With a burst of energy that anyone near by - had there been anyone - would have felt, two full armies teleported right onto the borderlands of Khelek, close to the southern edge. Mind types that had only one sign held their heads or fell to their knees with the effort of moving themselves and other people so far, but most of the two-signs merely winced at their headaches. Thelon looked perfectly fine, but that was to be expected.

"Make camp!" he calls out to the men. The Mind types are only too happy to acquiesce. To Damien, he asks, "How long will it take to put your plan in motion so you can storm Khelek?"

[Northen Light36]

Damien considers the question for a few moments. "I need to talk to the ice type with us a bit and then select the strongest of my men... My guess is we can be ready to set the plan in motion in less then an hour."

[Kender Bard]

Looking suitably impressed, Thelon nods and waves his hand. "Then by all means do so. I'm going to get some rest." Bowing his head, Thelon walks off where a couple of his aides had set up his personal tent, and goes inside.

[Northen Light36]

Damien smirks to himself, proud of the fact that once the clans are together they can be ready for war at a moments notice. "Charanth, select five of the strongest men from your clan and tell Tres and Lior to do the same," he orders before turning to Faren. "How soon can you get a message to Jokull saying the Clears want to meet him and where would you suggest we ambush him?"

[aivea]

Upon receiving the order, Lior turns toward his clan with a grin and rubs his hands together in anticipation.

"Farja, Pyrrus, Huo, Azar and Brenton, you heard what Charanth said, now come here!"

The five chosen from the Pyre Clan step forward to stand behind Lior. They are his strongest and most trusted warriors and they knew that is his opinion of them.

[Kender Bard]

Charanth relays the order to Tres then goes to his own men, studying carefully. Unlike many clans, Clan Char had a lot of female warriors in it as well as men. Eventually, he chooses. "Adashi, Brand, Eden, and Nuria!"

[Northen Light36]

Tres nods in response to Charanth when he delivers Damien's order and turns to start selecting her five best from Clan Fira. "Charanth, it might be a good idea if we sent out a few scouts to make sure our arrival wasn't noticed, don't you think?"

[Kender Bard]

Charanth nods and ponders that. "One from mine and one from yours?"

[Northen Light36]

"Sounds like a good idea," agrees Tres. Glancing over those gathered from her clan, she calls, "Ashra, I want you to scout around a bit and make sure no one knows we're here." Ashra, a slightly-built girl in her late teens, nods.
"As you wish, Clan Leader Tres," she replies.

Ryu finished setting up his own camp, then went about helping some of the weakened mind types. Though mentally his mind was still on running his sword through Jokull. All the time that he spent running around to leaders, he should have thought to read their minds to see if they were telling the truth. After a good few people had set up camp, he found his way to Thelon, "so the fighting begins."

[Kender Bard]

"Yes, but we're not going to be a part of this battle," Thelon replies mildly, sitting on a soft floor-pillow that Enya had presented him as a gift, his eyes shut as if he were meditating though he's fully alert. "Once we rest, we will return to Talen'sul tomorrow and prepare for the next move."

[Kender Bard]

Charanth makes a motion and calls forth a young, slender and sprightly boy. "Core, come." The boy eagerly trots to Charanth's side and salutes. "Go with Ashra and make sure the area is secure."
"Yes sir," Core says enthusiastically, before grinning at his partner and motioning as he walks off.

Faren smiled and looked towards Damien. He had a smile on his face, not like the warm ones from before. His time had come, little more did he have to bow at the feet of Jokull... now it will be Jokull crooking his knee to him. And he shall love every second of it.

"Well, thanks to Saph and his family I am rested and have had the best meal of my life. Depending how paranoid the fool is feeling it may take about half an hour once I get into the city walls... but that is the high extreme. Being who I am and seeing as I did set out with an order and would be expecting payment... I could probably get it done in 15 if that is all right with you. All you need to do is be ready, and if you don't mind I will throw in my assistance once the trap is sprung."

He looks hard at Damien. It isn't Faren that needs to be ready it is the fire leader. No matter his advantage a beast fights hardest when it's back is to the wall, he learned that with Darkstorm and the beast known as Jokull would be no different.

[Northen Light36]

Damien nods. "We'll be ready," he replies. "Where should we be in order to have our little 'chat' with Jokull?"

[adris]

Faren motioned for Damien to follow him to a hilltop where one could see the city in the distance. He traced the walls with his fingers until he came to an odd section that looked like the wall bumped up strangly.

"See that bump? It blends in with the wall from a distance but in reality it is an old fighting arena. A perfect place if I must say. You wear a cloak or something to hide your identity... he won't come in unless he at least thinks there actually is a clear there... and then when the time is right spring it. Remember, while you do have surprise you are still on his home turf... and I can't reflect all of an attack from a three sign."

He was thinking it over in his mind. But then waved off any of his worries. Even if the screams did echo from there the constant blizzard would make sure that the sound didn't carry too far.
