Wow, I was right. They did boost the security. At least 30 soldiers were patroling around the tower. There were some more on guard towers aremed with crossbows. Xenth quickly ran under a guard tower when the guards weren't looking. Looking around, Xenth could see a few were leaving. Ah...I arrived during the changing shifts.
Xenth froze as at least 6 guards walked right by him. They continued on, not noticing him. Xenth seized the chance and ran right out from under the tower. He kept running until he was at least 3 miles from the tower. Then he turned back to face it. You haven't seen the last of me. I'll be back to claim my Orb.
--Meanwhile--
Seth knocked on Valentines door and a servent announced him as he entered. "Lord Valentine, I have something I believe would both interest you and aid me at the same time."
Oric sat up with the help of his soliders. Only a few dared to approach him after the massive release of power from his body. Most of the men stood in awe, a couple bowed their heads. Halgern barely saw them, his mind raced trying to comprehend what had just happened. "Protect the Orb and find Richand" Oric knew only one person named Richand, the son of Lloyd Zamikios. He had met Richand a few times before, when their fathers had met in Negliv. He knew Zamikios had hung out with a Makantes, but didn't remember her name.
All three of their families had storied historys surving Drosin, but Oric had ran away before he acually got to know Richand. The thing that shocked Oric the most however was his physical changes. Not only did he look different, broader, stronger, more mature. But he also felt different. His whole body felt lighter, he was now as light as air. His muscles no longer needed to carry their own weight, and could use all of their power and energy to swing his sword or carry his armor. As a result, Oric could now jump farther, run faster and react much quicker.
Apperently the Rite of Gia did this to me. Why? And how do I use these powers? Oric had already somewhat found out what controling the wind did for him, but was a little scared about trying out the other powers. He decieded he needed to go some place unpopulated, and safe where he could try his new powers. That is when he remembered the castle. The voice said to follow the eagle. The eagle flew right over the ruins before turning around. Is that where it wants me to go?
Oric made up his mind that he would go back to the ruins to investigate and on the way he could train with his new skill set. He told a few men to pack up and get supplys while he told his brother to try to repair the walls and send word for the king and queen to return from Conud.
"Heh heh heh..." Storm chuckled, "I would love to see this Fortress... A flying machine eh....sounds like my kind of Toy." Storm grinned widely. "Where is it located, my friend?"
Meanwhile...
Sekhmet knocked on Valentines door, then threw it open, clambering into the room. He glanced at Seth and nodded, letting him know he was in control again.
"My Lord, she is dead. Satra Morta....has been slain."
Valentine did not seem phased by this information. "I know, Sekhmet. A rider came rouhly an hour ago and informed me. It is a greivous loss, but not one that shall hinder us."
