*He quite carefully slips her into the car with the Bird who is perfectly content and heads up to the grounds to drop the bird off with its master.*

*blackhood looks at the king politely squaks and flies off, back to the grounds*

You shall need to take it back, it will be fine now *Stops the car to take the necklace back and slips it over lils neck. It is dangerous for the falcon to go though too but i think it may be fine without it it just needs to fly right through without stopping, these particular falcons came from the other side of the dimension originally

*she can feel his hands securing the necklace.. and touching her neck lightly*

Mey, Moo, May good Knight

Mey, Moo, May madam.

Are you having a snuffy day?

Not quite snuffy, just snuff so far.

Ah well I hope your day gets better.

And yours too.

Goodbye Sir Knight.

Goodbye Madam.

--------------------------------------------



Sir Kinght, why do you drag this child through the streets.

He tried to steal one of my most precious things madam, and i wish to teach him a lesson.

But sir knight, the boy is so young, surely hurting him is not the answer.

I do not intend to harm the boy, just to teach him. Do you know who this childs parents are.

I do, but it is impossible for you to talk with them about the child.

Why would that be, I must speak with them about him.

The boy is an orphan and runs free within the kingdom as everyone takes care of him but no one is responsable for him. His family are no longer with us and his mother died in childbirth.

I see, and in some ways that is better. Come boy, to my hall.

---------------------------------------------------------------------




Why is this little waster wearing your colours? sir knight.

Because he has agreed to be my page, good lady.

This little oik is not well bred and runs wild throughout the kingdom.

Then I shall give him a home and teach him some manners, Breeding is no bar to the rank of knight. If he works hard and trains hard and acts how I will teach him to act there should be no problems with this child ever. If there are I would be happy for you to come to me with them and we shall talk further and at length about my desicions with the child.

But you have armed this young ruffian.

All pages are entitled to carry a sword, If Ben will show you As you can see the sword is blunted and designed for practice. I will be taking the boy away for a week or two to teach him the finer points of knighthood. When he comes back he will seem a different person.

I see you have given the boy a name.

Yes, everybody should have a name and I would like people to use it when speaking to him. Ok Ben, you can put your sword away now.
Well done Ben, that was correct reverance for the situation and your weapon.
If that is all my good women, I will take my leave of you I have a number of erands to run before Ben and I travel to the hills.

---------------------------------------------------





Who is this fine young man who walks with you, Sir Knight.

This is my page, Ben. The lad you told me was a good-for-nothing ruffian that i shouldn't give a sword too.

I did not recognise him, Sir Knight, He has changed so much.

He has. He takes well to the training and will soon prove to be worth presenting for the rank of knight. He has a long period of work ahead of him if he wishs to reach that distinction first.

I think you may be right, Sir Knight, I must go tell my daughter about your page, she would be about his age.

As you well know, my lady, The knight's life is one of a higher calling than the normal callings of the body.

I must take my leave. Good day Sir Knight.

Good afternoon My Lady.

Come Ben. It is time to take you to the castle.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*For one week now, the almost 50 villagers left in restite City have been brutally tortured and murdered for any information they have on their king, luckily the Dimentional Soldiers have no idea of the whereabouts of the benatees and are too lazy to look. With 49 villagers dead and bodies lying in the streets the Commander Rufus takes out his bloody sword to the last villager a humble farmer and close ally of King paul Reginald Wimple*

Rufus - Now tell me where your precious king is, we need to speak to him

Reginald- I donts know where Sire Paol is.

* Rufus drew the blade to redinalds eye*

Now this can be quick and painless or , long and excruciating.

Reginald- I am telling youz I donts know where sire paol is

*With one sharp motion rufus cuts off reginalds hand, instead of the Eye

Reginald (Screaming) Dimention diment............. *As rufus ends Reginalds life with the sword.

*Turning to his men he shouts* Ok thats the last we can kill for now, paol obviously has his men well trained, in staying there, knowing that defending the people would mean death for them too. the first and second batalions are to come with me back into the dimension , I have a feeling that king paol is still there. Pernicle you are to stay with the 3rd batallion and await my orders, when I return with the 2nd batallion this means the paol is dead and you can kill Lady Lil and find the unknown royal before Amelia comes to rule her restite.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Paol appears rather triumpantly on top of the old town house just above the Unknowing soldiers garrison, and repairs the restite flag, too fast which surprised him. He looked down and blinked suddenly one of the men in the armys jacket caught fire one dimensional man after another he did this. Paol watched as the evil men flailed around and he laughed, and sat with a drink and waited for the army to dispose of them. Just as this was going on the flying pigs arrived and began to Circle the area in wait of their orders to kill, from either their masterful trainer or their king.

Paul sat back and relaxed, he looked at the pigs and smiled, he had learnt something in the Dimension that he couldn't wait to tell lil. Something which he never knew about the Restites and something which made him smile.

*She is running.. being followed .. over taken.. by soldiers.. *

*She is looking for Paul!*


*The Flying Pigs Squad are everywhere.. she sees men running towards a portal.. some are on fire*

*A sword flashing in front of her...she acts instinctively.. her sword arm is raised and slashing down before she can even think.. the arm is severed .. she watches the Dimension Soldier fall to his knees*


*She slashes again.. * That is for MY people!.. *she kicks the dead man away*


*She is still fighting.. and looking.. looking for Paul.. she knows he is here.. she can feel him!*

*dodges through the crowd of dimension soldiers with his group of rifle soldiers, annd runs to lil, hacking down a burning soldier who was about to attack lil*

my lady! where is the king? i - *black leopard is knocked aside by a huge brute of a man. his soldiers leap on him, dragging him to the ground and clubbing him. black leopard gets up*

*yells above the noise* HE MUST BE HERE SOMEWHERE..*turns around and sees enemy cavalry charging towards them*

watch OUT! *dives and knocks lil out the way, but is knocked into a wall and collapses*

*runs into town streets and gives the squadrons of flying pigs the order to attack. Vast numbers of them descend from the sky and rip through the fleeing enemies*

*groans and shakes his head as he staggers to his feet*

LIL!?

*sees tamaire*

tamaire!! get a flying pig over here NOW! *staggers over to tamaire and falls in the mud*

*It is then she sees him*

*Paul!.. Standing on the rooftop.. swigging from a whisky bottle.. laughing to himself.. and pointing.. whoever he points at disappears in flames!*



PAUL!!!... *she points to him*.. IT IS PAUL!!


*She lies on the floor grinning at this manic spectre on the rooftop!*

*hears Black Leopard and turns back. Jumps on a flying pig and heads towards him*

*fastens BL to the back of the pig, talks to the pig in its own language telling it to take BL to the infirmary*

NO!! *grabs tamaire and pulls him onto the pig*

...find...lil..

Ok *starts circling the skies looking for Lil, but the masses of slain bodies and the continuing "battle" makes it hard to see*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~After a fun Night of fighting from the rooftop, quite unnaftected from the strong whisky he jumps down from the rooftop and kisses lil as an enemy sword goes straight through him and comes out he is unnafected. The amazement of those around him, is increased even quickly from the way paol is making fireworks appear in the sky is making Dimensional soldiers float and Is making his own soldiers avoid damage to themselves. As Paol turned around from lil he saw something he wasnt expecting, the benetee tribe had came to help after defeating the legion in the south of the Town. The chief joined Paol and nodded in appreciation*

I see you have gained all your powers now my liege

Paol: yes, but I am not entirely sure why.

*Paol blinked as the D. Soldier behind the chief turned into a worm*
