VENTURES INTO THE REMOTE (RP)

"I'm sorry" she'd say, because of her stuttering. "I guess because they never catch me when... I rob something from them. I just disappear in the shadows..." she'd say, leaving a little break before adding "Blessed to meet you" and then thinking "Grown up woman? She's right I guess... Yet I just don't like people.." she'd think, waiting for them to finish their conversations so she could shwo them the way out through the sewers "and then finally, they would help me to see the tree." she'd think in joy.
 
“Dirt?” Rambo asked darkly. “Watch your tongue, soldier.” He warned him, he looked over at Sigeric. “Transformation? Really? And if you want someone to look, I’ll do it. I just need to get dressed.” Rambo offered to Sigeric.
 
Daugo shrugged. "Let us be off, then. And Galador?" he added, turning towards his Gondorian comrade. "No need for nastiness."
 
Rambo gave a curt nod, before heading back into his room. He reappeared dressed in his usual black ranger garb, black gambeson with a chainmail chestpiece. He kept his hold down however, on his back were a wuiver of arroes and a curved haradrim bow. A fire spear was also placed onto his back, the most notable weapon of all was the one in his hand; a strange magical blade but none could mistake it for the one Glorfindel had worn. “We should go.” He suggested.
 
Thoruk saw Esgaroth upon the Long Lake in the far distance as his dingy sailed past a merchant vessel entering the Celduin from the lake. Far beyond it to the north-west, he saw the Lonely Mountain. He was almost home...

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

"Let's go, we're wasting time." Even said and pushed through the door and out into the streets. Endo held back a bit waiting for Mirecy or Tamara to go ahead. "Lead the way," Even called back to the girl.

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

"For Mairon's sake, just teleport there," Ilian mentally face-palmed as Cardiloc took the scenic route from the third level to the fourth whilst Dallon followed, receiving rather conspicuous glances from nearby guards. "Shouldn't I alert the district barracks? Trip the al-"

A bell began tolling from the upper levels.

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

It took Sigeric a long time but he eventually located each signature. Cardiloc was...strangely on the third level nearest to them. Glorfindel was on the fourth and further from him was Evenis'. Just as he was focused on them he saw Rambo carrying the elf's maiar-blade.

All of them in the third level barracks heard the ringing. It was followed by shouts and men emerging from their rooms in a hurricane of bodies and yelling. The Karoltai remembered this tolling from Cair Andros. They had been taught the signals and codes of Gondor and the four consecutive tolls followed by a pause were only sounded when there were convicts on the loose.

"Escape! Prison break!" Someone yelled above the chorus that was created by the storm of rangers flooding out into the courtyard, taking the Karoltai, Galador and Rambo with them.

"All soldiers, to your teams!" They heard a voice command them but it was not Vardamir. They couldn't see him but instead, another man stood out in the crowd. He had a long white jacket covering over him and the insignia of a lieutenant. A strange device was attached to his right hand and the Karoltai were reminded of Dimitri's metal arm.

"The are prisoners loose in the city. We do not know where or how but this situation must be brought under control. Secure them, however, our priority is to defend the common folk and citizenry at all costs! Is that understood?!"

Daugo recognized the voice to be the same as the man known as Ostopher from the chamber meeting with General Belzagar.

“Illian, would you pl-“ He began before the bell tolled.

“Looks like they’ve already been alerted,” Cardiloc noted, before stopping and looking for a way up to the fourth level from the third.
[rule]
“Escaping? Great.” Rambo grumbled, then he looked up at Ostopher. He then turned to the Karoltai. “I don’t have a team, mind if I fight with you.?” He asked the trio.
 
"Fine, don't expect anything from me." Ilian said.

Cardiloc saw the route leading to the fourth would be long and arduous per usual. There didn't seem to be any other way or if there was, he did not know it.

"What do we do?" Dallon asked.

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

The men arranged in separate teams, however, there was quite a lot of chaos considering that the fifth ranger division was living in the eleventh rangers current barracks. The eleventh division was also quite larger and featured ten teams of five men each whilst the fifth had been divided, half the men remaining at Cair Andros and the other half accompanying the Karoltai.

Team two, three (Helvion's), five, seven and eight were mostly saturated with the missing teams being registered as KIA or left back in Cair Andros. The Karoltai were usually part of Vardamir's, however, his team was missing for some reason.

Arrrrrgh, so many questions, so few answers, why can't he have a break? He didn't sleep well for over a year, his mind couldn't rest due to the nightmares that hunted his sleep and couldn't think clearly nor answer any of them.
Iver fell the rabbit hole, the questions buzzing in his head like a horde of bees and he couldn't smack any of them.
Iver crawled into s little ball in his head and in the bed, and tried to make the pain go away, sobbing quietly.
 
And for a moment it did. Iver found himself at peace...

But not for long.

"Hello there," He heard a voice in his mind. It was childish and slightly husky.

"Home.." he'd slowly mumble. "Aye... where is home if you have nobody to return to?" he'd ask himself, pushing the boat a bit faster. It made him angry that someone was able to steal his father this easily... no one even saw what happend.. yet he had to return to report things and tell them what his next steps would be.

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

"What was that?" Tamara would ask herself,opening the door completely, looking around. "I think the elf got caught and we will be next if you don't hurry guys." she'd say hesitating to get out. "Come, we won't get down now that the guards are searching for us we can't take the direct path down." she'd say,waiting for them to step out of the house as she would lead them to the nearest sewertunnel.
 
“I can’t see anything from down here... I’ll uh.. you should probably alert the fourh kevel about the situation. Start getting the towns people out of the way.” He nodded to Dallon.
”Illian, I’m sorry about insulting you I couldn’t see any way up, but how much energy would you say I have left, I don’t want to go blacking out in this situation. And uh, any suggestions for what I should do?” He thought to the voice in his head.
[rule]
Rambo had presumably gone with the Karoltai, he awaited orders.
 
The dingy sailed through the cold lake waters and slowly towards the dockyards of Esgaroth. After twenty minutes it reached the dock and within ten, Thoruk disembarked.

"Fee?" The dock master asked him offering a hand for Thoruk to pay.

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

"Hurry," Even said to Endo and Mirecy as he followed Tamara. They were entrusting everything to her. But even then...if it came down to it. They would fight. And probably die. But they wouldn't be put down again. Especially not him. Evenis wasn't going to be some Gondorian bitch. Some rat for them to experiment on. He remembered the torture and what Sauron had done to him...

"Ugh," He grit his teeth and continued on. Never again. He'd never be weak. He felt his canine teeth sharpen and his tongue morph slightly and kept quiet. Mirecy could feel his fear. Though, she was unsure of what exactly was causing him to have that reaction. Perhaps he was worried about getting caught.

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

"How?" Dallon asked, incredibly confused by Cardiloc's remarks.

There was no answer from Ilian. All was silent. He had driven her off again. Well done, Cardiloc.

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

"Oh," The voice was definitely feminine, "Just a friend," It giggled.

Iver felt something take hold of him. "Need a hug from the darkness?" The voice engulfed him in an embrace. It was as if his soul were being shielded...no...not shielded...touched...

"Iver..." It was a voice he heard only in the memories of the Flying Giant. "Don't-"

Eldan? Was that him...?!

"Shh, stay with me Iver..." The girlish voice drowned out the previous Flying Giant Shifter's.

The Dalishman plunged into darkness. Yet...for once...once in a long...long time...Iver was at peace. Whatever embraced him...it blocked everything out. The pain...the suffering...the loss...all his troubles. He felt the strange sensation to embosom it.

Great, now she was ignoring him. Then he remembered what Evenis had said when the proto giants had wscaped, the girl, he had called her ‘Mirecy’. Wasn’t thet who Berethor wanted, what was Card even doing. He needed to find Berethor and Endo, and then try and reconcile with Mirecy. Then find Eonwe and get the fuck out of Gondor. First he needed to deal with Dallon, he grabbed ahold of him and teleported him back to the citadel. “Sorry about all that.” Then he teleported outside Lady Eldriths house.
 
"N-no... I don't know you.... I.... I, don't trust you" Iver said weakly, although he didn't resist, he carved it, he wanted it, he needed it.
 
"Huh?" Dallon's head hurt again and Cardiloc vanished, leaving him alone on the citadel.

All of this was a mess. And he had been his own undoing. Ever since Ha'zi died. He was aimless. Failing. Aranel and Laurel abandoned him and his cause. What was his cause? What was he trying to achieve here? He was fighting for people who saw him as the enemy? Ha'zi didn't trust him. Where were his friends? What happened to Iver, Thoruk and Dimitri? Did Berethor and Tytus take Marco because he was too weak to save him? All of this...he had failed everything.

Was this Cardiloc's legacy? To be a failure? What would his family think...what would Ela think?

Ela...he hadn't even thought of his own sister. He was too pre-occupied chasing after a blind fantasy. How selfish of him...he was horrible. Truly horrible. He hadn't even said good-bye to her when he left for Mordor. How long had it been? A year? More than that? How old was she? Was she even alive? He had left her at Lady Eldrith's house...

It lay before him, the gate slightly opened. He saw the gardener on the porch, sweeping some dust away.

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

"Shh, come here," The shadow took Iver. "It's okay. No need for any of that." He began to drown in its warm, endearing embrace.

"Huh?" The man backed away from Cardiloc. "What're ya a barbarian?! Shoo!" He raised the rake at Card.

[user avatar="https://cravatar.eu/helmavatar/UnusualBrit/74.png" name="UnusualBrit"]12700073[/user]

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

"Your salvation. All you have to do is say, yes to me, Iver. And you will be saved." He felt it crawling over his skin, absorbing into his soul, reaping him.
