h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

*Byzantia and Shaylar fly over the gate*

Captain, prepare for battle I suspect we will be under attack within the day

*The Captain run's off shouting instructions and the guards barracade the gates and walls*

*Sharmin reigns in Adonis close to the front gate and sees the barricades, he flicks back his long hair and shouts up to the guards*

Guards...

Open the gates and let me pass..

*a couple of the guards whisper quietly to each other and then answer*

What is your business here...

*sharmin smile revealing his bright white teeth*

Why I am on a quest to find my lady Syian.. I have heard she passed this way not long ago..

*the guards whisper again taking quickly and then one leans down and speaks a hint of sarcasm in his voice*

of course my lord please do come in.

*the guard bow theatrically and the gates begin to slide open*

*Sharmin walks proudly inside leading Adonis by his reigns he strides through the gate house and is grabbed by two guards as he enters the city*

Wh.. What is the meaning of this..

*one of the guards punches Sharmin hard in the stomach making him double over in pain*
Shut up pretty boy.. your lady is wanted for murder and the city is expecting an attack, but I guess you already knew that didn't you.

*Sharmin tries to answer, to explain his inocence but with the wind knocked out of him he can manage but a few painful gasps*

come pretty boy.. We're gonna take you and see how much you know...
*the guards laugh maniaclly as Sharmin is dragged of to the gatehouse to be interrogated*

*The Guards go to find Lady Shaylar*

<Here F1781296?thread=407007&latest=1 >

<>

*Shaylar runs in and points at Sharmin*

Is this him

*The Guard nods, Shaylar whips out a blade and presses the point to Sharmins adam's apple*

What is your relationship with Syian, why do you want to see her

< I'm at the tower like you said..>

*Wolf runs to the gate and, in too much of a hurry to wait for the guards, opens it himself and rushes out, leaving the gate open behind him*

*Sharmin rides up to the gates, he stops just out of sight of the guards*

Don't worry My Lady. I will get us out of here.. </>

*He covers the sleeping form of Lumien with a large riding blanket and and rides up to the gate*

We are in luck My Lady someone has left the gate open.. </>

*Sharmin rides boldly up to the gate and waves at the guards flashing them a beaming smile as he passes, the guards are confused for a second and then suddenly burst into action*

- Halt Lord Sharmin... Lady Shaylar wishes to speak to you..

*Sharmin looks confused*

I spoke to the Good Lady Shaylar yesterday...

*the guards begin to close the gate and two of them rush down blocking his exit*

We've been rumbled My Lady, looks like we may have to do this the hard way..

*Sharmin flicks his head back, his long golden hair shining in the moonlight, he reaches for his sword and draws it from it's scabbard*

So be it Sir guard... If you will not let myself and my Lady Syian pass of your own free then I shall have to make you...
Have at ye foe...

*Sharmins blade sparkles with a pale blue light the exact colour of his eyes, he brings it to his face in salute and then sets upon the guards*

*He kicks out at one guard sending him reeling from the blow, the other slices at his leg hitting Sharmin's armour*

Is that the best you can do....

*Sharmin swipes with his sword making the guard dodge out of the way, seeing his opening Sharmin urges Adonis forward, he gallops through the gate just as it is about to close*

Hya Adonis Hya....

*the gate misses Adonis's tail by a fraction of an inch and Sharmin laughs as he escapes the City. He turns to see the guards desperatly trying to reopen the gate and give chase, he throws back his head and salutes the guards*

Thank you Sir guard... I will be sure to give my commendation to your captain if I ever pass this way again..

*Sharmin checks the still sleeping form of Lumien, content that she is unhurt and untroubled he smiles to himself and gallops off into the night*

HYA Adonis HYA..

*Runs to the gate seeing it shut with Sharmin on the other side*

Captain, send messengers to all outposts arrest Lord Sharmin on sight

*The Gates open and the messengers gallop out*

*Wolf arives, gasping, at the gate and, after a moment calming himself enters Imardi and turns to the neerest guard*

What is so urgent, what am I wanted for?

[Guard] Lady Shaylar will fill you in My Lord, she was last seen entering your brother's house

*Wolf nods to the guard and heads off towards the house*

*Dejectedly rides his phantom horse up to the gate, not seeing the other rider vanish into the night. Banishes the horse.*

Let me in!

[Guard1] No! No necromancers allowed past these walls.

You don't understand. I'm with the Guild.

[Guard1] The Guild doesn't accept evil socerors.

[Guard2] Hey, maybe he's the one who kidnapped Syian.

[Guard1]I heard she was a necro as well, what's the big deal?

*Kazinishi slips quietly away, and tries to find another spot to get in.*

*Chandra flies over the gate. Lumien can't be far behind.*

*Lumien comes barrelling up from the Oane Road.*

Open.. the... gates!

*The guards oblige, and several come out to meet her.*

[Guard] My Lady, are you alright?

[Lumien] I'm alright, but I'm no lady.

*Runs for the healing hall.*
