May 23rd Outside Trokks' Tavern in the city of Bristol,Kormack...

The sound of the rain against the small dirt road erupted inside Trukais' head. He had quite an annoying headache today, which was not helping his concentration. Cembras walked beside him, just over waist height, with with wings only now, starting to fully develop. Trukai started to walk toward where he knew the center of the city was, and in the heart of Bristol, the palace, not looking up, only down, at the dirt turning to mud directly in front of him. He had business to do, probably ending up outside the the Bristol. Some would say he was a bounty hunter, and some had, but they had been proven wrong.He was a Dracomancer with ... ways of getting what he wanted. It was true, he did take jobs for money but still he was no bounty hunter. All of a sudden he bumped into someone. The certain someone was large, or, atleast larger than him, and now seemed somewhat vexed, since it could have been something of a rather hard bump, caused by the fact Trukai was in a hurry.
"Eh, Watch where you're goin' you little bloke!", He said in a heavy accent. Trukai took no heed, and kept going.According to what he had heard, the job was from the Palace or, at least someone had sent it from there.

Trukai continued on to the Palace, head held down, with Cembras following close behind. After a while of traversing the City of Bristol, Trukai found himself standing outside the Palace. He began to walk up the great marble stairs, when two Palace Gaurds confronted him and Cembras.

"State your business" One of the gaurds said.
"I have received a letter to come to the Palace..." Said Trukai, with his head still held down.
"Show me the letter."
Trukai pulled out the letter from his pack, and handed it to the gaurd, never looking up at him. The less they know about me, the better, he thought to himself.
The gaurd read the letter to himself, then grunted, "Fine then. Follow me."
The gaurd began to walk up the marble staircase, and into the Palace, with Trukai and Cembras not far behind.

[Rattatatatata]

the were deep into the Palace now, going down, and then left more than they should of...Trukai had thought they would be going to the Main Hall, but aperently not.He looked over his shoulder to ask the captain where they could be going, and he saw Cembras, being hauled away with a steel muzzle and collar around face!At that moment, he knew something had got to be wrong and prepared to draw his shortsword from its' sheath, but he found two sword tips at his gut, and someone gripping him from behind, with a knife to his throat.
The Guard behind him declared in a proud voice,"Alright, we've got him now boys"and then turned on Trukai, saying,"You are hereby under arrest for treason against  His and Her Majesties of the noble land of Kormack, and for this grave offense you will be sentenced to a lifelong dungeon sentence, or a death sentence to be determined by the the Royal Court of Kormack."and then in a quieter voice he taunted,"now you weren't so hard to catch after all, were you?"and struck hima blowto the face.Treason?Death?He had comitted no crime,not that he knew of.And where were they taking Cembras,what were going to do to him if he had earned himself a possible death?

[Desert Turtle]

The skies outside of Kormack continued to pour with what seemed to be a never ending rain.

Deep in the dungeons of the Palace, Trukai awoke, in a heavily gaurded cell. His head throbbed, and he felt blood on his lower lip. He slowly got up from a wooden cot. Where am I? He thought. Trukai began to pace his cell, trying to get a good view of what is outside of it.

He caught a bit of the cell gaurd's conversation "...and they're gonna turn over his Dragon to the King after we hang him." Trukai gulped. For once in his life, he felt the feeling of fear. The gaurd continued to speak to the other gaurd "They're gonna hang him in two days."

Two days? Thought Trukai. He layed down in his cot, and before he knew it, he fell asleep.

Outside of the Palace, a strange figure with a pale white sword and Samurai armor entered the city...

Cembras' point of view May 23rd the day after they were captured

Cembras sat on the rough pillow, if it could be called that, provided for him, by the ugly ones with spears, the ones that stank like stale bread and cheap ale.He was not being held in a cage, like he had heard his friend, Trukai was, instead, though, he was on this lead chain with a muzzle and collar, tied to a wall, but allowed to walk about 5 feet before the chain stopped him in his tracks.So he sat there not knowing much, only picking up bits of information from the ugly guards. So he brooded, watching, and waiting.

Outside of the Palace
---------------------

A strange figure with a pale white sword and Samurai armor entered the city. Most of his face was shrouded by the Samurai Hood that covered all of his face, except for his blue eyes. After he crossed the arch that stood above the city entrance, two Guards confronted him.

"State your name and business in Bristol, stranger." The Guard said.
"My name is 'Zeypherlink'...and I have no business here...atleast for you, I don't." The mysterious figure said.
The Guard was dumbstruck. Nobody had ever talked to him like that. "Fine. Pass. Keep your weapon conceiled." The Guard grunted. The stranger, Zeypherlink, continued his path into the fair city of Bristol. After a while of walking in the rain, he stopped at the local Pub, to get some information he needed, for what he was going to do in Bristol.

He entered the Pub, and as he walked in, all of the rugged old men inside looked at him.
"What would you like, fella?" The bartender asked.
"Nothing." Replied Zeypherlink.
"Okay...well take a seat then, 'an enjoy your stay." The bartender said.
Zeypherlink walked to the back of the Pub, where it was darkest, and found a man dressed in all black, sitting alone sipping a beer. He sat down infront of him.

"What do you want, stranger?" The man in black asked. Zeypherlink pulled 5 small, gold bars out of his pocket, and rested them on the table infront of the man.
"Maps of the Palace." Said Zeypherlink.

May 24, early morning

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

Trukai awoke early that day, after having a fretful sleep.Could I really die today?.He asked himself this,  thinking,  what exactly death would mean for him.It'll sure put an end to my career, he thought, and then, could there really be an afterlife?This idea was somewhat comforting but he had his doubts about it; as he had had doubts about many things in his life.Why have I been put in here, and will I find out before I... die?He realized he didn't want to die an ignorant death, he didn't want to die at all!
     I have to find some way to overpower the guards... or escape.Both guards were slumbering on their rough cots by the door, so Trukai reasoned, It has to be early in the morning, and if only there was a window or something in here, then I would know.
    But then, all of a sudden he felt a cool, gentle breeze, But-but I thought there was no windows down here, that's strange,but all of a sudden his thinking was interrupted by the sound, then shortly after, the image, of a guard from upstairs tumbling down the stone steps, his armor clinking noisily as he hit a wall and collapsed, dead. The noise aroused the other guards immediately, but a figure, or rather a silhouette in this dim lighting came into view, sword ready, and decapitated one guard just getting off his plain, linen cot, but the other was faster, taking advantage of the time the silhouette had lost, immediately drew his saber and engaged in battle with the figure, and intense duel swelling up, but the battle never reached its' climax, for it never lasted half a minute, the dark figure winning it.
    The guard was then cast aside next to his friends' corpse and the figure advanced to Trukais' cell. "Don't come near me, I'm still not totally useless don't you know" It was an idle threat, since the figure, he could now see, had the armor of a samurai and was armed with a fine katana now streaked with blood, and apparently, he could use it quite well."Relax" said the samurai in a voice, Trukai thought there was something strange about."I'm here to help" He continued, bending over one of the guards, to retrieve the cell keys from his waist, the keys jingling as they approached him attached to the samurai still dark hand.
    Jingle!He thought, and almost chuckled. Jingle!What was a cheery little word like that doing in a dark, damp place like this?"Ah, Jingle"Trukai sighed "what did you say?" "Oh, oh nothing"then remembering something, he asked, "how did you get that sword past the city gate?you look... well a bit foreign and there are no authorized weapons sales for civilians in this city."  "I simply concealed it very well...along with handing over half a dozen shuriken, a knife, and a different katana" The door creaked open slightly, Trukai pushed it just a bit more, an then he was free!
    Well, at least as free as you could be in a dungeon with a castle full of soldiers, probably still under orders to either arrest him, or kill him."Come on lets get out of here fast" the samurai said,"by the way I'm Zypherlink" he said in that strange voice. Have i heard it before? Trukai asked himself, no, I guess i couldn't have ."Well we've got a lot to do if we still want to get out of here" Zeypherlink recited. "alright, my name is Tru-" He was cut off "We know your name" he said "and like I told you earlier we have a lot of work to do".

[Desert Turtle]

Zeypherlink began to go to the stairs exiting the Palace Dungeon(going upstairs), when Trukai said "Wait. Theres someone else we need to get, my Dragon Cembras."
Zeypherlink sighed. "Fine...but I'll warn you: It will be gaurded the most heavily."
"I'm not afraid." Responded Trukai. Zeypherlink grunted and went to the other side of the room, where a staircase was that went further down into the Palace Dungeon. Trukai followed him.

After a while of walking down a circular stone staircase, they reached the bottom. It was dark, but there were a few torches on the walls to illuminate the damp hallway--just barely. Zeypherlink pulled out his blade, and handed Trukai a spare dagger. They began to walk down the hall slowly, with their guard up.
"Shouldn't we grab one of the torches? I can hardly see anything..."Trukai whispered.
"No...what would you do if you saw a floating torch?" Zeypherlink responded.
"Good point..."

They continued down the dark, damp hallway. Then they heard a sound echo from the distance, and the two men stood their ground, and raised their weapons.
THUMP, THUMP Came a sound from down the dark hallway.
"What the hell was that...?"Trukai whispered.
THUMP, THUMP. The sound grew louder.
"Stand your ground." Zeypherlink said.
THUMP, THUMP. Louder now.
"Its starting to get closer." Trukai whispered.
THUMP, THUMP.
"What the hell is tha--"

-------------------------------------------
To be continued DUN DUN DUN

[Rattatatatata]

THUMP, THUMP.
"What the hell is that?!" Trukai yelled.
"I told you to be quiet!" Said Zeypherlink, still keeping his voice low.
"It doesn't matter much if whatever's up there is thumping away!" ,Trukai insisted on yelling.
And then, just like that, the ceiling collapsed.
Although the two mean probably would never know, this thing had broken through two ceilings, and the also wouldn't know how it had gotten out. In reality the Beast had been struggling against it restraints, whether it had sensed the presence of intruders, or maybe it was just getting tired of being held prisoner itself. Either way, it had a horrible temper at the moment, and was taking it out on Trukai and Zeypherlink.
It was....Yellow, not the most menacing colour, but it was at least 12 feet tall, scaly, and had the shape of an overgrown bear, along with the claws.
"I thought you said it was coming down the hall!" , Trukai exclaimed.
"Just let me handle this, fool"

[Desert Turtle]

     The ceiling crashed in behind them, and the creature stood there eying them wildly. Down the hallway, they still heard the thumping noise.
     "What are we going to do?" Trukai exclaimed.
     "Run!" Zeypherlink replied over the noise of the monster. The two of them turned away from the monster and ran towards the way they were going; to the thumping noise. The monster then began to walk at a slow pace after Zeypherlink and Trukai.
     As the two of them ran down the hallway, the thumping noise they were going to was getting louder and louder. The hallway was also starting to light up as they went down. Within a few more minutes, they were in a large circular room with cells all around it; and another monster shackled in the center. The monster was banging on the floor, and it was making strange noises.
     "It must be trying to call more of its kin..." Trukai stated. "That must mean...that there are a lot more of these things held captive here! But why?"
     "The same reason why they took your Dragon." Zeypherlik replied.
     They could hear loud footsteps approaching them from behind-- the other monster.
     "Find your Dragon, and lets get outta here." Zeypherlink said. Trukai nodded, and began to search all of the cells for Cembras.
     After a while of searching, Trukai found Cembras' cell, but it was tightly locked.
     "Can I get some help?" Trukai yelled over to Zeypherlink. Zeypherlink jogged over, and slashed open the cell with his Sword.
     Trukai walked into the cell and picked up the dragon, who was asleep.
     Just then, the monster that was following them made it into the circular room, and broke free the other monster. The two monsters shrieked, then slowly turned to the direction of Zeypherlink, Trukai, and Cembras.

[Rattatatatata]

"Run." it was Trukai, already turning.
"I say we fight them." Zeypher link said, eyeing his would-be opponents.
"I just got out of a situation where I was almost executed, 'm not taking that chance again. Hold them off for a minute!" Then he turned toward the back of the cell were Cembras was once held, and started muttering.
"Great, now Trukai's gone crazy, and I have to fight these things alone." Then he charged, Sword at the ready, preparing to fight.

All of a sudden Cembras gave a roar, Trukai stop mumbling, and a dragon burst through the wall, rearing up, showing it's gleaming brown scales, reflecting the light off the torches.
"...!!!" Zeypherlink stared at it, until he remembered the monsters. Both of them, as if uided by something, started running towardsw Trukai. The dragon didn't even seem to notice them, instead it... Ran Away??? It borke through a couple more walls and then flew off into the day.
"Come on!" Trukai shouted, and Zeypherlink wasn't exactly hapy about taking orders from Trukai, but Trukai was already running, and Zeypherlink had no choice to follow, the absurd yellow monsters right on his tail.

[Desert Turtle]

     The hole the dragon made was a very crude tunnel, but anything worked for them as they tried to escape the monsters. After a while of running upwards, the tunnel ended, and went into a cliff off the edge of the Palace.
     "Whoa!" Trukai exclaimed. He looked down, and stepped back a little. They were 10 feet above the ground level. They heard the monsters from behind them.
     "What're we going to do?" Zeypherlink said as he looked back into the tunnel.
     "I don't know.." Trukai said. Just then, they heard a vicious roar from the sky above them. Zeypherlink and Trukai both looked up. A brown dragon was descending from the sky above them. It let out another large roar.
     "Is that dragon on our side!?" Trukai asked nervously.
     "I hope so!" Zeypherlink said as he jumped off the Palace.
     "What the hell--" Trukai started to say, but then the brown dragon grabbed Zeypherlink out of the air. Trukai grabbed Cembras, and jumped off the Palace too. The brown dragon grabbed Trukai a couple of feet before he hit the ground, and flew off into the horizon.

May 24th somtime before noon, somwhere in the mountains

Trukai
-----------------

Trukai was disturbed by something prodding him between the shoulders. He groaned and rolled over, but the thing now attacked his face. He got up, reaching his hand to his sheath, but the offending object turned out to be Zeypherlinks' foot.

"I was starting to hop- I mean think you weren't ever going to wake up" annouced Zeyoher, with a hint of a smirk creeping across his face
"Just tell me where we are", Trukai barked, looking around.
His surroundings consisted of rock behind him, but it was not a cave. he went over to where he could see the edge of the rock."Oh, well then"
 It was an enourmas laedge looking over a cliff face, atlest 200 feet down.
Zeypherlink spoke:
"I think the dragon dropped us here, and went hunting or something. Don't know why it wouldn't just eat us..."

"Shouldn't 'ove happened, shouldn't 'ove happened" Trukai said through his teeth.
Zeypherlink approached him and said "Don't start mumbling again Trukai."
"You don't understand" Trukai said turning on Zeypherlink.
" I summoned that dragon to help us but it must have been enraged at me for thinking I could just call it..."
Zeypher hesitated and then, "Well atleast we're out of the castle"
