umm... i'm going to make something up as i go. i don't really have a plan right at this moment on what to type. hmmm... ok... here i go.

~~~~~~~~~~

The small group that was on the run stopped in a glen in the center of the forest for the remainder of the night. Diamond sank to the ground pulling her cloak about her tightly. Jack was searching the area for any sign of danger and the others were gathering firewood. Ivan glanced over at her, nudged Emily then turned back to a stack of firewood. Emily approached her and sat down, "Is everything all right?"

Diamond looked at her, "Yes, just tired."

Emily was silent as she watched Ivan attempt to light a fire. Jack appeared in the glen and dismounted. He glanced around the area then went to Ivan, took the tinder box from him and started a fire within moments. Emily cleared her throat, "What happened back at the tavern?"

Nothing you'd want to know, thought Diamond. "A bunch of men fighting and blood."

Emily grimaced, "Were you part of it?"

Diamond rubbed her cheek, "...yeah."

Jack joined them sitting on the otherside of Diamond. Diamond smiled up at him and Emily nodded to him, "I guess I'll join the other's at the fire."

She stood and walked gracefully away. Ivan greeted her cheerfully, but Diamond could tell he was still worried she'd reject him. Jack took her hand giving it a gentle squeeze, "What did she want?"

Diamond shrugged, "Nothing much, just making idle conversation. She wanted to know what happened at the tavern."

Jack smiled slightly, "Did you tell her?"

Diamond met his eyes, "I told her there was fighting but I didn't give detail on what it was for or anything. I didn't want to make her sick."

Jack laughed, "Aw, you should have."

Diamond simply smiled. Jack took her chin and turned it so he could see her cheek. He frowned, "How'd you get this bruise?"

"Oh, that..." she moved to cover it with her hand, but he took her hand. "That's from the time I spent in the dungeon..."

Her voice faltered as his green eyes searched her face; "No, this bruise is more recent. It's from the tavern fight, isn't it?"

Diamond frowned at being caught in a lie and sighed, "You know, I'm not made of glass, Jack. One bruise won't kill me."

Jack ran a thumb lightly over her darkening cheek murmurring, "I know, but it's not pretty."

Guy Trevalleck wandered through the deserted streets looking for a likely spot to crash for the remainder of the night. Suddenly, he heard a commotion around the corner. Curious, he went to find out what was going on. In his forty-one years he knew that nothing good ever happened on the streets after midnight. He peeked around the corner and saw a man on horseback. He was shuffling quickly through a bag that was slung over his shoulder evidentally looking for something. Another group of people were hurrying off behind him and in front of him a small force on horse back were racing towards them. Guy figured that his man must have a plan and sat down to wait and see what it was.

Cathy laughed at Ryans comment, but Ryan seemed serious.
"Cathy, I'm just worried that he's gonna try something."
"Like what?" Cathy said, turrning, and looking at Ryan in the eye.
"Like.........well........maybe using you to get to me." Ryan said, trying to deffend himself.
"Ryan, before last night he didn't even know you. Give him a chance."
"Okay Cathy, one chance. If he blows just once, he's history."
"Honestly Ryan, you're acting like a kid. Besides, I've known Donavin for a long time. He would never try anything like that." Ryan stood, and walked over to Cathy. He took her hand, and gently kissed it.
"I just don't wat you to get hurt."

glad to have u if u were joining :)
here's a summary, simply cut and pasted from another page.
----

The story originally was intended to lead up to a ball which was held after the great tournament.

Keisha was a lady who was in love with a knight called Marrco, he participated in the tournament.
but then everyone got sidetracked..

so, there was this girl named Emily who got captured by someone who wanted to use the girl to threaten her father into giving him money. Emily had a boyfriend named John, but she didn't know that John was actually dead and in his place was his best friend called, Ivan.

Diamond and Jack lived in the poor quatre of the city. They were thieves. Diamond was thrown into dungeon when she was caught "stealing" and Jack tried to rescue her. He later fell in love with her.

Carwain was Oridea's friend who was a friend of Emily's. To make it short, she, Ivan and Carwain rescued Emily and while escaping, they met Diamond and Jack who were also fleeing from the dungeon.

Then there're also two characters named Alex and Fern, but i'm vague as to their parts in the story. Sorry.

Now the group was residing in Carwain's Intelligence centre office, and he planned an escape plan for them as they were wanted in the city. So we're up to the point where Emily and Carwain just slipped outside the city wall, Diamond, Jack and Ivan were detained in the tavern by a group of men waiting for them. But all they needed was to slip out the back of the tavern.

sorry to any existing player if my description regarding your character was not correct. Feel free to add more. Special apology to Alex and Fern's players.

update: The group with Carwain were now on the run, and Carwain had decided to set up a diversion while the group escaped. Read owl's most recent post. Oridea and her cousins were attending the ball.

There're also a few characters from DARRIONS, but her plot's separate from others. um, maybe DARRIONS would care to summaries her bit?

Okay,


Cathy is a sister to Lusha. Cathy was adopted at 13, and now her adoptive parent's are dead. She's trusting a freind of her fathers, Donavin, to help them a little bit. Cathy's best friend, Ryan, doesn't trust Donavin and Cathy thinks Ryan isn't giving Donavin a chance. Ryan and Cathy are in love. Donavin wants Cathy, and is jelous of Ryan's relationship with Cathy.

thanks for the confirmation, owl.
ok..

Turning his horse into the bushes that surrounded the trail, Carwain spurred more speed on. From the fact that only one set of horse hooves were making the noise on the ground, the pursuers would probably direct more than half a squad behind him and put the reminding on the trail. As he listened carefully on horse back, his suspicion was confirmed.

*Looks like they're on their own,* he spared a momentarily thought on the group he had left behind.

Thundering through the darkness, Carwain lifted his eye to the moon, estimating his position, he threw out a hand held explosive to the left. This was his last one, and he better made it count. The explosion echoed off everywhere, frightening surrounding inhabitats and also halting the men that were trying to circle in and cut him off from the left. Bird yells and screeches sounded for a moment.
----

"What was that?" Emily said, startled.
Jack, who was pressing his ear against the ground, jumped to his feet, "One of Carwain's trick, and it looks like he hasn't finished his job. We've got company."
----

Within half an hour or so, as he tried to elude his enemy, Carwain breathed a sigh a relief when the little village south of Aliqua came into view. Putting his hand in his bag while trying to stay on his madly dashing horse, he searched for a light flare. Distracted, he was aware that now out in the open, he presented quite an easy target for an archery practice. Arrows after arrows sped over his head and he wondered how he could've stayed alive.

And another group of men appeared just before him....
