The sound of armor...

[Kristen]

Morwen let them grip her arm with no delays. She didn't want them to have to grip harder. Somehting inside her told her that she should be angry, but she was controlling her emotions. This was something that didn't hapen quite often. Her emotions usually ran freely escaping her as they wish.

She bent down and gripped the edge of the house. One of the guards hit a weak point in the roof and released her, stepping back. She could try to take out this one guard, but let him grip her. One of the guards that couldn't come up was waiting a story below her. She flipped around to her belly and groped for a rafter to hang on to. Her feet slid down the wall and touched the ledge of another window. She moved her hand's grip closer to the ledge, allowing her knees to bend down as well.

The slow proccess lead her to the other guard who seemed a bit more friendly than the others. But she didn't want to push it too far. His gaze, however, stared right through her. His shadowed eyes didn't even take th time to look into hers. She turned her head away and let him lead her to the Admiral, who was looking nonchalant and relaxed. Morwen was quite the opposite. Thoughts stormed through her brain like a tornado, tearing up the old thoughts. Her emotions now felt as if they would burst out any second and Morwen squeezed her eyelids, pressing them tightly against her eyes. Blue eyes vanished as where they would have been were now shadowed. New calming thoughts rushed thorugh her mind, telling her new ideas as she breathed in and exhaled the cool night's air. The guards grip loosened as she approached the Admiral. She hated the quietness that enveloped them all, only the sound of distant waves and crickets. She spoke up to break this heavy silence, "Tell me your name, Admiral." She spoke the last word with her feelings. Pain struck her to say that word, Admiral. She didn't mean to, but an emotion had slipped through her lips.

[ulyssar]

Lorian noted that the pirate had let slip her anger for the situation. No-one could hide themselves for long.

The question took her off guard for a second, she hadn't expected it, but she figured that she might divulge the pirate before she lead both of them away in chains.

"My name is Fleet Admiral Ullissyr Lorian of the Lilan Navy. Commander of the Royal Fleets. Royal Guard to his majesty Lord Welloway." She let her title laspe into the air, then, "...and it is by that authority that you are to be placed under arrest, under the juristiction of the Supreme Lord of the Diamond City, for theivery, evasion of the law and breaking and entering. Guards!"

Lorian pulled her sword away from behind her and pointed it at the female pirate, "Bind her in irons. And watch the other one too, make sure he doesn't try anything..."

[Kristen]

Morwen stood perfectly still. Her feet felt the cold the stones held. She stared on into Lorian's eyes. Pain arose in her chest. The night air took away her words, but were still audible to the admiral. "So you cannot be trusted?" She leaned closer to her ear to speak the simple words, but they meant so much. The guards took her back from the woman, tightening her henads in irons. They hadn't put them on her feet yet. Her words were carried towards Lorian again. "Well neither can I," She spoke, her eyes not looking into the admiral's eyes, but at them.

One of the guards attempted to put irons around her ankles. In one second, Morwen lifted her foot and smacked him in the face. She didn't turn around, but kept staring. She lifted her boot high and felt the bottom. "Your guard got blood on my boot," she said, monotonously. But a smile appeared across her face. Another emtion escaped...

[Jarad]

Geddo saw her plan, he Tackled the closest gaurd and starts to try and cut the irons with the gaurds sword, He was to heavy for the gaurd to shove off, So Geddo grabbed the gaurds sword with his mouth, and started to cut at the irons, One snapped, then another gaurd reached him, He did his best to parry while using it in his mouth, but decided to swing his head back, then jerk it forward, releasing the sword and sending it flying, luckily it hit the other gaurd. "Darn navy people, dont know how dangerous pirates can be. We arn't pirates for nothing." He said happilly. The first rop that was cut gave him enough leway to grab one of his arrows, which where very sharp, and he started to try and cut another bond. He had two out of ten done. "Great, I am screwed."

[Kristen]

Morwen couldn't move. The sword was at her neck. She hesitated. This wasn't quite her plan but it might work. However much she thought, she was still stuck.

Her back hit the chest of one of the guards as they toppled over. Geddo had cut one of them with a sword. Blood spattered in her face. She rolled off the man and onto the cold stone. The moon shone brighter at this point. It was no longer directly above them. The rays of light hit her face, eluminating her eyes. Morwen whispered through tightened teeth. It looked like a fake smile. "Geddo! Geddo what are we doing?" She was tangled in her own clothes. Her belt hooked onto the guards that had fallen. She was doomed. By then the admiral has done smething to stop them.

Morwen coughed as she grabbed for her cutlass. Her irons were too thick to fit underneath her body to grab it. She looked like a tied up catapillar. She wriggled around, tring to get in a position to unhook the belts and grab for her weapon. The guards had never took her weapon, she had noticed. Her body faced the darkness of the now shadowed side of the house. She had no idea if she was attatched to an unconscious man or a dead man...

[ulyssar]

Lorian turned and saw Geddo trying to escape with one of his arrows. She turned and swung at his hand, snapping the arrow in two.

"I grow tired of this pirate, you're not the one I need." Lorian brought her sword back and thrust right towards the centre of his chest with all the strength and speed she could muster...

[Jarad]

Geddo laughed. "Thank you for freeing me." He said as he took a clumsy side step. THe thrust cut through his bonds, and a little bit of his sides, but still he was freed. He grabbed his sabber and pointed it at teh admril, a smug grin on his face. "You underestimate me." He then went to cut Morwins bonds.

[Kristen]

Morwen finally rolled over to her back in an awkward position. She grabbed for her belt and pulled it free from the tangle. The Admiral's feet stepped near her face. Dust stuck to her eyes like glue, blurring her vision. She grunted and rolled several feet away from the commotion. A guard grabbed her shoulder, pulling her up to her feet. Pain pierced her skin, spreading to the bone. His grip tightened as she moved her hand to stop him. "I'm just trying to loosen your grip!" She screamed, frustrated now. She added curses as her emotions broke out of her. What was she doing? How did she get herself into this mess? She couldn't see. She blinked repetively, making it all the worse. She screamed in frustration again. Sure enough the people's torches flashed through their windows as they were curious to see what was going on. "Admiral!" She screamed. She didn't want anyone to die. She tightened her eyes. "Please take me and leave him," She spoke, the words tightened as her teeth did. Pain struck her face as the guard struck her. Tears slipped down her face, for they were already watery. She couldn't see anything but the blurred lights of the people's fires and figures moving. She swirled around in the direction she last saw the admiral. She could be talking to a house wall right now, but she didn't care.

The guard spoke up this time. "Don't speak to the Fleet Admiral Lorian like that!" He spat. Quite literally. Spit hit her face as he swung her around by her shoulder. Morwen didn't care if she would get struck again. Pain was the last thing to travel through her mind. "Lorian! I am asking to peacefully take me away from-" She was smacked again by the guard. This time his fist hit her squarely in the jaw. She spat, blood mingled in her spit. She peeled her eyes open and stared at the stones. She froze. Everything she ever did slipped her mind as she stared into the stones' cold surface.

Her eyes stung and her jaw felt out of place. But she knew it wasn't. Her breathing picked up, inhaling and exhaling every second. She lifted her hand to wipe the blood, but the guard took it as another attack. He gripped her shoulder tighter. Morwen's eyes squeezed tighter, holding back more tears. She couldn't help it. When water breaks free, it's unstoppable, like a river. But her eyes only stung more as the water clogged up her eyes. She wanted to wipe the blood, tears and spit away from her face. She absolutely hated being dirty. She screamed in frustration again. She couldn't do anything! Not even wipe her face! For the first time, she hoped to hear the Admiral's voice speak up. It was as if the guards breathing spoke in her ears. The torches spoke as well. Every motion that night screamed in her ears. She shook her head. What is this? What is she doing? She wanted to speak again, but the shooting pain in her shoulder reminded her the guards grip could go even tighter.

The clouds crept closer to the moon, like vines hungry for light. They filled the air with moisture, entering Morwen's nose. The coldness spread through her body. Chills ran through her skin. It felt like a ripple of water. She turned her head over her shoulder, staring in the opposite direction from the guard. The last thing she wanted to see was the guard's face. The last thing she wanted to hear was his heavy breathing. Her eyes were shut again. Staring endlessly into her eyelids. Searching for answers to the night. Answers to unlock the door of her problems. All she needed to do was find the key. The key plan to get out of this.

(ooc-woah... it's so intense! )

[ulyssar]

The Admiral swung around with her sword, ready for the fight, circling her sword around her fingers, putting the long sword between Geddo and Morwen.

"And now pirate... we duel." She nodded her head slightly towards him and then turned her sword around in her hand ready to attack Geddo from the front. "Raise the alarm! Renegades and fugitives in the city! Raise the alarm!"

Bells started hammering somewhere nearby as her voice echoed down the narrow streets in the twilight. Her guards were advancing on Geddo and Morwen from all angles, while she attacked Geddo from the front, and soon the Diamond City guards would be pouring into the area...

[Jarad]

Geddo pulled out his sword. "Yes, we shall!" He thrusted his saber at the admiral and ignored the sounds of the alarm. "This is a duel, if you navy men have any honor, then you and only you will attack me admiral." He said with a smile. "I need to test my opponent."

[ulyssar]

"Pirates are not worthy of honour fiend!" Lorian called to him as she parried away his blows with nimble dexterity and delivered a flurry of her own, pushing the offense. "Bargains are not struck with traitors and fools!"

The alarm bells were in full tone now, and the streets around her were suddenly bursting with life. She heard the call of a strong tense voice off down a nearby street, and the sound of heavily marching feet approaching her. However she didn't let the sound of it distract her fighting stance...

[Kristen]

Morwen lifted her foot and kicked the guard in the groin. His low groan sounded through out the street. He still clung onto her shoulder with the other arm as he bent down. She crushed his foot with hers, and tried to spin around to shake off his grip. But he still clung on, as if it was his life in peril. The man screamed in his deep voice as she whipped her head to the gripping hand. She brought her teeth down upon the flesh of the man's fingers. He cried out again and kicked her in the back with his knee. He screamed again as he had to kick high up in the air. Morwen brought up her arm and punched back with her elbow. He fell to the floor. Morwen looked up to see how Geddo was doing.

If she doesn't accept my opinion, she'll get my fists.

[Jarad]

Geddo dropped something that looked like a bomb. He turned the other direction and went towards Morwen, running through any gaurds that came near him, one managed a slice on his arm, but he was killed moments later. he didn't give Morwen a moment to brace herself, but he grabbed her free arm and started to drag her away as the smoke bomb he dropped went off. It engulfed most of the area. Geddo hoped it worked, because it was his only bomb. "Come on Morwen, if you survive this I might just have something special for you." He grumbled, slicing through her bonds. He didn't stop and did his best to try and keep Morwen on her feet. It was up to her to escape.

[ulyssar]

ooc: A smoke bomb? Thats pretty advanced for this time and age ;D No worries, its all good...

bic: Lorian knocked away another of the pirate's attacks and was just about to thrust up and stab him in the chest when he dropped a small ball which gave her pause as she eyed it curiosuly. Geddo turned and ran, and Lorian then backed away from it, wary that it might harm her.

The ball cracked open and smoke started billowing out of it, engulfing the small street. The guards from the city arrived just in time to see the ball crack open. Lorian saw about fifty of the heavily armoured warriors in their formation before the smoke blocked her view. She turned back and could only make out blurred shadows of people running in the street, blind.

"The thieves are escaping! Follow them!" Lorian called into the smoke, towards any of the soldiers within earshot. She raised her sword and ran back towards the guard of soldiers, approaching the commander who greeted her with a crisp salute.

"There are two of them, both wearing pirate attire and are wanted for theivery and murder of Lilan naval soldiers!" She said to the commander, who was wearing dashing silver armour.

"We'll find them mi'lady..." He turned and shouted out an order, sending the men out in parties to search the city...

[Kristen]

(ow! My eyes! Alessio, your colors are a bit.... eye zapping XD)

Pain finally caught up to Morwen. Her back tghtened as she was dragged by Geddo. Her feet stumbled until she caught herself from falling and shot onward with him. "Great, now I'll never be able to come back to this City. Such a pity because it's so beautiful." Morwen had time to joke around before seeing the last glimpse of the Admiral. She had nothing else to lose now, and yelled through the night. Her breath was caught in the moon's light. "I see all these men have to protect you, Lorian." She smiled as the words left her mouth. THe woman had done no harm to her yet, it was more anger towards the guards. Her laugh blew with the wind that whipped through her hair. She was now sprinting, Geddo still clinging to her arm. Something special? Morwen had no idea how she could laugh at a time like this but she did again as she spoke, "Exactly where are we running to, Geddo?" She wasn't sure if he had come by ship, or not. Morwen had no idea what to expect now. Sop much had happened already.
