Brothers and meetings

[dark2]

(sorry about the title)
It was rushing through his head the words from the note
[glow=red,2,300]"he is here"[/glow] the good thing was that Sam good not get involved this time, he was heading towards another place, this time no one no one would be able to get in his way of his goal Dark, one of the problems was Tyapa Is a large place,
[glow=red,2,300]"well i will find him and when i do i will destroy him and anyway i could probably find some work here as well"[/glow] he whispered to himself, he thought back to the other day in Darien when he had met and battled with Sam , nothing had actually really happened, but lets just say Sam did come out with a black eye and a scar along his eyes.

Luke picked up the pace he was nearing his target, once he was close enough he looked around then changed back into his human form, he knew this would be better as most people did not really like people in their animal forms,
[glow=red,2,300]"wait a minute what the heck am i doing"[/glow] he quickly changed back to his animal form, he focused his eye on the city, and evil smile on his mouth, he sped of towards the city, everything was going to go well and he knew it maybe he could annoy some locals in the mean time.

Tyapa. Situated in the middle of the mild climated Isca Peninsula, with open space and plains. Much different from the heavily forested region Tannoch was situated in. The city itself was as large as Tannoch, and was on the beach, where you could see many merchant ships waiting to unload their goods. The sun shone in the nearly cloudless sky, and birds called to one another high above your head. It was paradise. But, paradise comes at a price. You'd better have the money, or you won't last long here.

A blonde girl with a short, light blue dress was making her way through the afternoon crowd. On her back was a brown pack and at her hip was a dagger in a plain sheathe. Not one who drew the eye, though one could tell by her apparel that she wasn't rich enough to afford a home here, not for long anyway. Her hair, let loose down her back, was caught by the wind and was pulled away from her body momentarily, before it settled down as the wind dispersed. What was a girl like this doing here?

Well, she was a healer, and this healer happened to have connections. One happened to be here, who insisted that whenever they were hurt, her favorite healer had to rush across the globe to tend to her wounds. The client was a rich woman by the name or Clarissa Burkes, and she was currently pregnant and was about ready to give birth. It wouldn't do for any healer but her favorite one to bring her child into the world, now would it?

Krystal - the blonde girl - sighed and side stepped to avoid bumping into a man as he went along his business. She'd just left Clarissa's home, and was traveling to the hotel the woman had bought her a room in. It was a very nice hotel, and she'd stay there the duration of her stay, which was until the child was born and Clarissa was satisfied that the child was also healthy. As she was walking, she nearly knocked over a child, and sidestepped again, not looking. Her leg collided with something furry, and she nearly fell over.

Dark had just left Caperna days before he remembered, his parting with willow, he left her a card, and had also asked if she had wanted to join him on his way to Tyapa, he was not sure weaver she had given him a answer or not.

He had been half way to the city when some man had caught him unawares, he asked if he could be shown the way to Tyapa, also saying that he would be paid handsomely, agreeing to it he waited for the man to get ready and set off, the man on the way asked some questions that most people asked about dark he usually found them annoying but for for some reason he was actually in quite high spirits, on getting to the city the man thanked Dark Handing to him a slip then winked to him dark just smiled, then as soon as the man was gone he opened, he was a bit confused as there was nothing in their but two letters , one on ti had a seal he had seen before the other look exceptionally interesting, reading the interesting one first it said
[glow=red,2,300]"you will find me and you reward at the port, and maybe an opportunity [/glow] he turned toward the other note ripping it out
"find me" dark was confused but he would find away to decipher it later he had things to do.

That was why he was at the port but in his opinion that was not the only reason


Luke had rushed through the gate into the street in his animal form, not at his full speed but however it was at a speed faster than most people can go so it would of been a bit annoying to them, he listened to the curses flying at him which he laughed at, suddenly something on the wall had caught his eye , he stopped coming to a sudden halt nearly crashing, into a nearby building, looking at a note on a nearby wall it read
"Assassin are you looking for work then you have found the right place meet me at the harbor" Luke looked around and then smiled everyone else seemed to be ignoring it by the looks of things hardly anyone could see it. setting of again he banged into something hard looking up he saw a blond girl, he broke out into a nasty insensitive snarl
"WATCH WHERE YOUR GOING GIRL!"

[brighteye]

It wasn't everyday that she was in Tyapa, but it was everyday, or almost, that she was in large crowds. Jostling, pushing, and general shoves were commonplace amongst the crowded streets. You just came to expect it, and either give back what you got, or try to stay discreet and out of the way. So, being shoved, or avoiding being shoved, was something Krystal was used to. She generally tried to stay out of others way, unless she was in a great hurry.

So, when Krystal nearly stepped on something furry, a creature no doubt, she wasn't surprised, but she did feel bad. She'd hate being nearly stepped on, though in her bird form it wouldn't really be much of an issue, seeing how she would just fly. She looked down to see what it was she had brushed, to see a large cheetah at her leg, barely avoiding her foot. As she opened her mouth to apologize, the animal snarled at her.

"WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING, GIRL!" it screeched, and she bit her tongue on the things she had wished to say in response. It wasn't her fault that he was at thigh height, and therefore hard to see. Instead, she tried the passive route, to maybe placate the person - for no animal could speak like this one had, it had to be a shifter.

"My apologies, friend. I was not watching where I was going." Krystal told him - she assumed it was a him - as sincerely as she could.

[dark2]

Luke listened to the girl babbling out a small little speech trying to be passive towards him he causally flicked his paw smiling to himself thinking
[glow=red,2,300]"well the little thing can speak that's one fort he record books might as well play her game might get something out of of it"[/glow] he quickly looked around and then looked up at the the girl quickly changing back into his human form, smiling a pleasant smile at the girl and glaring at her at the same time he spoke trying to sound good
[glow=red,2,300]"don't worry its fine i wont and bight and thats no problem was just a little bit angry so whats your name and what business, are you here for, oh my names Luke."[/glow]


Dark felt the person before he sat down in front of him is keen sense could tell what he was dressed like he did not need to look like it was a rebel as soon as the guy sat down dark spoke
[glow=red,2,300]"im not interested"[/glow] The man smiled a knowing smile
[glow=red,2,300]"know we do not want you to join we know who you are dark and we have some things to other your here take a look"[/glow] he put a letter forward dark took a look his eyes lighting up.

Kaye dropped to a a lower roof with an easy, feline grace, her wide paws absorbing the impact. She slunk along the side, keeping the high point of the roof above her head height so that she wouldn't be seen. Not that people looked up: those few that did watch only noticed the things around them...never above them. The edge of the roof came in sight and she smiled as she peered down at the ground, her lips drawing back to reveal long sharp canines. She prowled to the edge and carefully looked about. Not much to see at the moment. That was good. She wanted this job done in secret.

Kaye backed up and then slipped quickly over the rooftop, dropping to the ground on the far side of the yard. Satisfied that no was about, she shifted and pulled off her backpack. Moving to the small side door, she pulled out two narrow pieces of metal. The lock was a simple one, and Kaye had it open in moments. She smiled slightly to herself, moving with near silence through the empty room. Even in her human form, she had a smooth, even stride that was graceful yet dangerous.

She slid the lock picks back into her bag, dropping it over her back, and paused at the partially open door. The hall beyond was dimly lit from narrow windows, but empty. She moved swiftly down it to the door at the far end. Kaye paused again to listen. She had checked the house and no one but the maid and cook were supposed to be home...and both of those were in the kitchen at the back of the house. Still, it never hurt to be cautious. She'd rather completely avoid being seen, than end up with several dead bodies.

Satisfied, she turned the knob and pushed the door open, checking it visually before entering. Because the house's inhabitants were not currently living here, heavy burgundy drapes covered the floor-to-ceiling windows. Light still entered, a soft dimness that cast the rich, heavy furniture into a warm stillness.

Kaye moved nearly silently across the thick carpet, her eyes searching the room. She had been told it would be here, in the sitting room, near the wall. And...there it was. Kaye's eyes lit up. She walked swiftly over to the large, deep red stone, admiring the soft shine on its surface. Kaye carefully removed the glass cover, picking up the stone from its cloth rest. She smiled tightly, watching the dim light cast bright reflections through the surface of the gem.

"Your original owner wants you back," she whispered quietly, neatly wrapping the gem in the plush white cloth it had been laying in before replacing the glass cover over an empty stand. She shook her head slightly, not understanding the covert battles between the richest of the rich. Apparently, this particular ruby had some special significance, so she was being paid handsomely to steal it. Although as she understood it, it had originally belonged to her client, and they had somehow lost it...

Kaye moved silently out of the room, carefully placing the gem in her bag before shutting the door on the sitting room behind her. She couldn't help thinking that this was a far too simple thieving job...and that it was going far too well. The servant's entrance at the side was still empty, and she pulled the door shut behind her, not bothering to lock it. She was in the side of the yard, near where the horses and other riding animals would be kept when the family was home.

Kaye shifted back to her snow leopard form, gliding quietly across the yard, before moving into an all-out sprint across the open end of the lawn. She gathered herself, her long limbs bringing her into a massive leap that cleared the fence easily. She slowed her run, moving into a steady trot down the wide quiet street. At the end of the road, Kaye shifted again, moving into the busy foot traffic of a market street.

She automatically moved her bag so that it was slung across her shoulder, her arm guarding it, safe from any who might have a sudden desire to try to dig around inside. She cut quickly around several people, moving into another busy street. She watched the people about her carefully, even as she moved swiftly through the crowd, so she heard the sharp, "Watch where you're going, girl!"

Kaye paused only briefly to notice a cheetah snarling at a young woman in a blue dress. She stopped and turned back, blinking at the odd appearance of the cheetah. It wasn't everyday that you saw an animal with blue hair. Of course, the speaking made it clear that it was shifter--and a cranky one, at that--so maybe she shouldn't be surprised. Certainly, she'd seen shifters with stranger hair. Still, her hand dropped to the long knife strapped against her thigh. It was hidden beneath her clothes, but still within easy reach.

The cheetah had shifted and was talking to the girl. One of his eyes was red. Kaye's eyes narrowed. There was something very wrong about the shifter, beyond his eyes, but it was a gut feeling, not something that she could name. She took a step forward, wary.


OOC: Whee! Long post. Dark...use periods to end your sentences. It can be hard to follow what you wrote. And for both of you...if you could bold or change the color of your character's words, that would really helpful. ;D

[dark2]

Luke started to get really annoyed with the girl in front of him she was not answering at all, he suddenly glanced left seeing another girl, he glanced her over from what he could tell she was around 5,4 in height, she seemed to have a look about her, a look he had not seen in a long while, it was the look of a fighter, he had seen it before when he was much younger when he first started his sword fighting training.
"This will be very interesting" he whispered to himself, he has he said this he quickly started thinking of ways to manipulate her to his advantage she might be very useful, and of course he might have to see her In a action before he Can even think of doing anything to her, when he took another glance toward's her, he saw her walking wryly, which made him think about weapons, he gave her the once over no weapons but you can never be to careful, she could easily have one hidden near her leg maybe.
He turned and walked toward's her
[glow=red,2,300]"Hello there maybe you Can help me I'm looking for someone."[/glow]

Dark
[glow=red,2,300]"Dark i am sorry I'm not able to talk to you in person and i never have been for years now, but you must understand why and you will soon, however he has come today you will confront him, those who he would use against you try to turn against him, i have some contacts within the rebels that may help you if you wish" [/glow]
Good luck
Sam Power


Dark but down the letter so his brother Luke was coming maybe already here this could end in disaster, he looked up at the rebel in front of him
"[glow=red,2,300]and these contacts[/glow]" the man smiled he had obviously hoped he would say this.
[glow=red,2,300]"follow me"[/glow] the man got up heading out the door holding it open as dark gathered his coat, and slowly walked on out.

[flippedside]

"Looking for someone?" Kaye raised her eyebrows and brushed past a stranger on the street. "Since I'm not from here, I doubt I'll be helpful on that count." She eyed the strange man, intrigued despite herself. She didn't trust him, but that was no surprise. As a rule, she didn't trust anyone--especially strangers. Kaye didn't make friends easily...and even those she did make, she didn't always fully trust.

She glanced again at the girl, then discarded her mentally. Blond hair, blue eyes--she was cute but not a threat. Not even terribly interesting in Kaye's mind. A shifter with a red eye...Now that wasn't something you saw every day. Interesting enough to keep her talking with him, though she did have somewhere else to be. Still...

"But maybe I'll know them if you tell me their name." She grinned, a wicked glint in her eye. Then again, maybe not. Probably not. The thought made her feel like laughing, though the reason wasn't clear. Probably because she found the whole situation oddly absurd...Especially after the tension of stealing into a noble's house and stealing a ridiculously expensive gem from under his nose. And she wasn't out of danger yet: she was less than a half-mile from his house...and yet there she stood, in the street, talking to a stranger. It was a ridiculous situation. Ah, well. Maybe the stranger at least had something interesting to say...
