Kaiber looked at the city before them. It was bursting with life as well as death. Check points to get into the city of Rome, and it seemed as if all the roads converged at one point. Rome had been taken over by Emperor Emertico. Famine had gripped some of it’s streets with beggers and security. ‘Ah the life of the city is like the ass of Emertico himself.’ Thought Kaiber as he turned to Ashley. “We need to find an alchemist within the city to get we’re we are going.” Said Kaiber explaining why they were at the home of the enemy. ‘The problem isn’t finding one however… it’s more like finding one that won’t stab us in the back… with the blade on me it might inquire some foul company.’ “Come on we have to try and make it in the city.” Said Kaiber as he motioned for Ashley to follow him. |

Ashley looked around and she listened to Kaiber. "All right I'm coming," she said as she followed Kaiber. She wasn't familar with this particular place so she stayed close. She rested her hand on her sword in case trouble came about. |

Kaiber saw Ashley position her hand at her sword, not the best idea. “Relax Ashley, almost 70% of communication is based off body language. That is why animals can sense your feelings. Same is true generally with people and even more so of our enemies, they employ many chimeras and noturnals. Trust me, they can read body language quite well.” Said Kaiber as he stopped before they had arrived at the gates where guards were standing. Surprizingly even though this was a place of great suffering, poverty, and evil people seemed to be filing in here from all over. “Try to imagine you’re walking with a good friend, and hey aren’t you?” asked Kaiber with a dark grin before his own body language changed, to that of much slower as if older then he really was and slightly crippled. If anyone saw his skin right now which was still blackened but starting to come back to a familiar color they would probably assume he was crippled. In all retrospect he should be. “Try to keep calm; no matter what happens do not react suspiciously.” They finally came upon the guards who were looking over the people filing in decided to bother Kaiber and Ashley. One walked up shoving Kaiber who fell backwards almost onto his back not faltering in his act of a cripple. “Well, well, well. What do we have here? A cripple with a sword? Tell me have you the reach to even lop off a man’s head?” “I’m afraid I’ve not seen battle for decades good sirs.” Said Kaiber in response, his voice mirroring an elder mans. “Well then you won’t be needing this sword then will you?” said the guard coming forward and grabbing his half blade from his side sheath. Kaiber made no move to stop the man only turned to face him. “It’s a family heirloom… Please I’d like to keep it within the family.” Said Kaiber who’s voice still came out from under his hood as an aging man. The guard unsheathed the blade looking at it and saw that it was broken. “It’s broken? What kind of person carries around a useless sword?” ‘Useless… if only this fool knew.’ Thought Kaiber as the man continued to examine it before throwing it on the ground at Kaiber’s feet and turning his attention to Ashley. “Well at least you don’t carry around too much useless stuff old man. Tell me how much for her?” Kaiber’s expression went hard underneath his hood, these were the kind of people who had come to his village. The Legion was the kind of thing that made people like this, rapists, killers, extortionists, pimps, and all manner of criminals who could bully the commoners. Still he would have to try and play this out before revealing themselves as a threat. “She is my granddaughter sir, not a slave.” “Heh could have fooled me.” Said the second guard an odd smirk still upon his face. Kaiber slowly picked up his half blade and replaced it upon his side waiting. The first guard seemed to be disinterested all of a sudden and shrugged it off. “Come on, there has to be someone more interesting than these two. Besides she’s probably not a virgin anyways, even all the whores these days are claiming to be.” Kaiber tensed up for a moment. ‘For god’s sake do not react to that Ashley, ignore it. We don’t want half the city up our ass in wanted posters.’ |

A large carvan or horses appeared behind the people at the gate, the guards began to bow down as it did. Behind Kaiber and Ashley the sound of armor could be heard clanking as it hit the ground "Out of the way peasents" A voice echoed out as the man with the black armor stood behind them. The guards stood up "Out of the way of Lord Furia you fools" they said to Kaiber and Ashley pushing them back, Furia walked past his horse the creature was all black with black eyes lifeless walked behind him and two soldiers as well. "Tell me" Furia said to his soldier "Have you contacted Blood Knight and Eve yet...I need them to return here quickly" he said the soldier nodded "Yes...yes sir they should be on their way soon" he said frightened Furia growled and turned around "I told you to send that message immediately" he told the man "I, I was sir but I got caught up in other things" Before he could finish Furia cut the man clean in half with barely a flick of his sword. "Clean this mess up" he told the guards as he continued to walk to Emertico's palace. |

The tension did not leave Kaiber's muscles as he senced an enormous pressence behind The tension did not leave Kaiber's muscles as he sensed an enormous presence behind him. He bowed moving backwards as the voice told him to move. He had to resist the urge to draw his half blade. The excitement was almost spilling over if this was the true power of the best of the Legion he would be more than happy to fight them. His muscles relaxed as he listened to Furia. Eve and Knight…. Those were the people Drake and Bella had fought… The man was soon cut down for not delievering the message but Kaiber himself was unphased and more focused on the man in black armor, he was actually surprised Furia hadn’t sensed his blade however if he had he was currently ignoring it, offering him a chance to run? Like that was going to happen. “Ashes.” Said Kaiber aloud unsure if anyone had heard it. him. |

Furia stopped and looked at the man with the cloak on he stared at him for several minutes and the woman he was with. "Hmm" Furia said as he turned to walk on "Come Emertico awaits..." he said to his other soldier the soldier walked up beside him. "That man sir" the soldier said Furia scowled "If Emertico wanted something done the man would not even be here...Our Lord must have something planed leave him be for the time being" he said as he continued walking "Lord Emertico is awaiting our arrival" |

Ashley rolled her eyes at the guards as she followed Kaiber. She took her hand off her sword. Ashley heard the sound of metal clanking. "Um Kaiber I think we are going to have more company," she said. |

Kaiber shook his head moving on as the guards were forced to pick up the dead body. He knew they’d probably be in a sour mood after having to clean up the mess. Furia had stopped looking back at him, and at that all he could do was grin. He knew but something was holding him back, most likely pressing matters but the fact that he had given him pause if but for a moment was enough for Kaiber right now. He headed into the city deeper, they would have time he guessed somehow he thought Furia wouldn’t do anything yet… it was just a hunch Kaiber had as they maneuvered through the city of Rome. “Now if I was an Alchemist where would I be?” Kaiber asked himself. |

"Someplace where no one would be able to find me if I were and Alchemist," Ashley said as she followed Kaiber. This was not going to be an easy trip going to wherever it was they were going. 'What else could go wrong?' she thought. |

"A riot." said Kaiber off handily as he ran through a list of things in his head. He reasoned that unless he was a Legion Alchemist he wouldn't out right advertise such a thing so it would look like any normal shop, the question was how do you find the right one...? Then he got to thinking about the supplies an Alchemist might need, and perhaps that by hanging around one of those places they could nab an Alchemist.... wasn't too hopeful but was worth a shot, meanwhile he finally came out of deep thought looking back around until he spotted Ashley off to the side of him. "what?" he asked, he had spaced out, anything she had said to him, most likely flew from one ear and out the other. |
