The sound of armor...

[Jarad]

Geddo lead Morwen into a hidden tunnel where water ran by the walk way. "A small ship. We need to leave and I think that you will be a perfect Royal gaurd." He said to her. "You are strong and brave and I believe you wont betray the pirates." He said as he slowed to a walk. He lead her to a small ship, it wouldn't cause much attention at least from where they would leave, and he had brought his arrows and armor so he could take out most navial men.

[ulyssar]

Lorian stormed around the city, furious at the pirate's lucky escape. Her sword drawn and quivering in the night air. "Find them! Bring those fools to justice!"

She stood on a walkway and thought hurriedly. Where would they go? Where would they run? She knew that even they weren't arrogant enough to think they could take on all of these troops on their own. No, they'd try to escape. But where would they go?

Then she had an epiphany. They'd be heading to the docks. There were pickets everywhere around her and they would have no chance of surviving the night out in the wilderness with all of her troops in the area, they would try to steal a ship. She concluded it, and with a loud command, she marched off in that direction, near a hundred troops behind her...

[Kristen]

Morwen was shocked by the news. She smiled at Geddo. "I'd accept being the Royal Guard." There was not much time to talk much so, still being young and playful, flung herself into a hug. She couldn't be serious at a time like this. There was too much confusion for her to think correctly and say "thank you" instead.

Lorian's voice found its way through the tunnel. The sound bounced through and through to the open air at the other side. Morwen flung her head back to see if she was following, but there was no sign of her. Morwen knew, and she was sure Geddo would too, that everyone would hear her voice in the tunnel and check it out. She quickened her pace to not be left behind.

He put his finger to his mouth and pulled out a piece of bread and a few apples. He handed an apple to Morwen and broke off a piece of bread for her. He whispered, "we are staying in the tunnel tonight. If they come, they come one by one or two by two, we can take them if we stay here fo r the night, they expect us to leave tonight, but we wont, we will stay here for the night and rest.

[ulyssar]

Lorian was at the docks, the men were lined up all along the ports and storming th ships far below in search for the renegade pirates. She observed them from her elevated position, wondering where the damned thieves were.

A Lieutenant ran up to her, "Ma'am, the men have found nothing. They're not here." She nodded her head, but it was a cold, stiff nod. "Well then, we have beaten them here then." She turned to face the Lieutenant. "I don't know where they are, but station a full battalion here at the docks, and triple the patrols on the outside of the walls, and re-inforce the gates. Whatever men are left will begin roving parties through the city to find them."

The Lieutenant nodded and ran off to relay the orders. "If you're still here...," she spoke out to the night. "...I'll find you."

[Kristen]

Morwen gladly eccepted the bread. She reached to bite into it's hard surface but came to an abrupt stop. It was as if she felt someone talking to her. Morwen did not want to feel insane and shook her head, clearing those thoughts. She bit into the bread. It was horrible to any one's mouth other than a pirate. She had started to like the bland flavor, it was better than eating dirt. "Sounds like a good plan," She whispered, her breath still seen in the crisp air.

(ooc-sorry, small post, ive g2g soon! Bye everyone!)

[Jarad]

Geddo sighed as the sun set. "You rest I will take the first watch. I will wake you if I hear any footsteps, just be make sure your sword is in arm's reach of you." He whispered to Morwen as he knocked an arrow to his bow. He waited, nothing so far. He just hoped it stayed that way. Even though the small dinngy was tied to a post in the ground, he hoped that two people would be enough to set it up and flee in a rush.

[ulyssar]

ooc: I won't post for now, it seems I've got nothing to do until you try something, so yeah...

[Kristen]

(lol, okay)

Morwen nodded. "I'd be glad to take the next shift real soon. I don't mind being woken up." She folded up her legs and sat down. Spreading her feet out, she leaned against the sloping wall of the tunnel.

(omg! I don't have anything coming to my mind, sorry. Really bad post)

[Jarad]

A few hours later nothing had seemed to happen, but he needed sleep. He waited a few more hours for his shift to end. He lightly shook Morwen awake when his shift ended. The moon was high in the sky, and Geddo wasn't really tired. Though now it was Morwen's shift, he would keep her company while he was able to stay awake. He had checked, a few minutes before waking her up, the moon and it was just past high rise of the moon.(12A.m.) He waited for her to wake before ooking a small amount of tea from a fire he had started, in the tunnel.

[Kristen]

Sailing the seas once again was disturbed by a shatter of her dream. Morwen fluttered her eyes opened and looked up to Geddo. She saw the fire and nodded towards it. "Don't you think they might see the fire? Or will they have left by now?" She had totally lost track of time, but by the looks of it, the moon was still up high. Morwen's eyes glowed as she rubbed the sleep out of her vision. She rolled her back up the side of the wall again, in a sitting position. The wind whistled through the tunnel, runnning along the walls as if it were sledding. Morwen's bangs fluttered in the air that danced around the tunnel. The fire danced with it, as though the tunnel was a ball room. Morwens eyes glittered in the fire's light, embers swimming in the night's air. She rested her arm across her leg, the comfiest it will ever get in there.

[Jarad]

Geddo handed her a cup of tea. "Doubtful, but its a chance we can take. You cant defend yourself while you are grogy and tired can you?" He asked kindly. The tea he had given her was better then that black water people call coffee. He liked tea better

[Kristen]

Morwen heard the hint of kindness and smiled. At first look, Geddo looked as if he would pik a fight with anyone. But now that she had got to know him better, she felt more comfortable. "I guess we don't have anything else to lose at this point. Especially with that battle at (eeeek, I forgot the name of the place we fought at. Pretend she said the right place if it is wrong ^_^) Teer." She paused for a moment, accepting the tea. Morwen was not picky at anything she ate. Anything was better than the supplies onboard the a ship. She sipped the tea, flavor bursting through her mouth. The heat rushed through her throat, giving Morwen a lazy and comfortable feeling inside. Morwen went on, "You can sleep now, I'll keep watch. By the looks of it we don't have much longer before sunrise. We should get a start before the light bends over the hills." She gave out a sigh of relaxation. "Thanks for the tea," she added, not wanting to be rude. She brushed dirt off of her pants, hating the feeling of it clinging to her skin as well.

The wind seemed to have stopped for the night, but Morwen was proven wrong as a small gust slipped into the tunnel. It was a cold night, and Morwen curled closer to the wall, eyes still open; alert.

[Jarad]

Geddo sighed as he slowly driffted into sleep. He had the dream where he is fighting his brother again. His brother had escaped him for a third time after that fight at the fort. Many pirates and southerners had been killed and he wanted to at least take out a high ranked navy officer. Sadly, his brother had somehow escaped from him. Anger erupted from him as he woke to the sound of a now small crakling fire.

[Kristen]

The moon now glinted into the tunnel. It wasn't as high anymore and it was signalling for them to leave now. Morwen sighed and looked over to Geddo. His small stir told her he was now awake. She brushed off all the dirt again and slid closer to the fire. No longer having any use for it, Morwen stomped out the small embers that had crawled closer to them, hoping to feed on their skin or clothes. The coals needed to be covered up somehow. They weren't as hot anymore, but would still burn flesh.

Morwen kicked dirt upon the burnt sticks, dimming the last of the hungry light. She straightened up, not sure of what to do with the coals. If they left any sign of their trace, Lorian would be sure to catch them. She did not plan on leading the navy to the pirates. The whole night was her fault. She should not have been here stealing stuff in the first place. Morwen closed her eyes. For a moment, she had lost all interest in Piracy. For once, she wanted ot do something good. How did her life lead her to this stupid situation? Morwen squinted her eyes, careful not to show any emotions.

Morwen brushed her shoulder, not wanting to carry with her any part of the tunnel, or even the city. It was a beautiful city, but Morwen knew she had ruined her chance of ever coming back. She knew she would never see Alessio again, she still needed to thank him again for the kindness of hiding her and risking his life. Geddo risked his life for her as well. She would be clinging onto bars right now, staring at the rats that ate at the remaining flesh of the last prisoners. Thoughts of dying prisoners were thrown away, as Morwen did not want to think fo what could have been or still may be her future.

Now seeing Geddo stir more, she spoke over the soft breeze that swam through her hair, tumblingthe leaves that dared to come into the dark. They clung to small rocks, giving them the look as though they were alive, not wanting to come through.

"What should we do with the coals?" Morwen asked, suggesting they should leave now.
