A few Years ago in NorthWind
As the harsh blizzard was cleaned up a Male Nestoris comes face to face with an old friend who was now any enemy the male Nestoris drew his blade and so did the male Sendaris, "Our paths cross yet again Achillean" the male spoke, "And still I stand between you and the Prime Songs" Achillean spoke with a steady tone an the male Sendaris looked at him for a moment, "last time we met I showed you mercy. When I faced Ingressus Voltaris I showed him mercy. I will not make the same mistake a thrid time" the male Sendaris says drawing his blade ready to fight,"You know I would never harm you Thalleous. But I will gladly kill Warbringer" Achillean says and with a bounce of his song he makes the first strike and Tidesinger and Warbringer's battle no stopping till one falls.
Meanwhile Ingressus was fighting the deamos to keep them from interfering with the duel but then Ingressus come face to face with General Raphael as he draws his blade Ingressus dose the same, "well well what do we have here. Ingressus Voltaris we finally meet after all this time" Raphael says doing a fake bow, "oh quite young your pretend I know your faking now what do you want" Ingressus's tone was ferm and he stod his ground as the duel begins without hesitation.
As the battle between the Tidesinger and Warbringer was getting out of control Achillean had a clear shot which took and with a slash Achillean mad the final blow only realize the mistake he made as he looks to see Thalleous's blood dripping off his staff and as Thalleous held his side he lifts his hand only to see the blood dripping down and soon calapsed on the ground. As Achillean drops his staff and falls to his knees Ingressus notices this and runs over dogging General Raphael's attacked and as Ingressus mad his audience over he sees Thalleous on the ground bleeding out an Ingressus starts to shake Achillean, "Hey hey look at me we have to leave and I know that was not your fault but we have to leave now or we will all die" Ingressus says as Achillean nods take his staff and the two of them run off away as Raphael follows them unaware of Thalleous and soon everyone for got about him.
Few Moments later
As Thalleous gasped for air he holds his side close and calls his horse over get on and rides off towards the nearest town to get help. The newest town was small but did have a healer who notice Thalleous coming this way an held him on to a bed to help his wound as it continues to bleed out. The healer grave some stiches and tells Thalleous the it might hurt hit Thalleous has been through worse but gridded his teeth a begins to to tension up as he let's out a muffled scream of agony as the healer finished she gives Thalleous a cane to help him walk but warns him not to move to much or it will only hurt more. Thalleous agreed and rides off toward somewherehe knows hell be safe. The Village of Pikoro.
But as Thalleous was riding toward there he gets unexpected messager bird, "well go evening but I must instest you come with me as I have a message for you from Hubris Nestoris" The bird says as Thalleous nods and follows the bird towards a small camo where the KoA (Knights of Ardonia) make camp. A Thalleous ride in he is greeted by a Nestoris male, "Ky'Thalleous welcome back" the male Ardoni adressed him, "Thank you Hubris an I see you found us some new members" Thalleous says looking behind Hubris at the new found members, "well yes let me introduce them. Was have Onyx, Masani, Grim and a good friend of mine Greek" Hubris says as each on comes to greet Thalleous," It an honor to meet you Warbringer I've heard the stories about you" Grek says as he bows," no need for that he I'm just known as Thalleous or Captain Thalleous" Thalleous says as he walks aside Hubris to fill him in on whats been going on," Hey what about me" I voice called and another male Sendaris came and gave Hubris an unhappy look, "Apologize. Thalleous this is Dante. He's from Boboros. He is very skilled fighter" Hubris says and Dante smirks," Nice to meet you Dante" Thalleous says as Dante nods and they all head in to talk about what has been going on.
(Note that in this story this has to do with my Thalleous AU I've been working on. Also in this AU Thalleous become the head of the KoA and don't worry our favorite fighter Ria will make her way into joining just not right now you will see her later in the chapter)
"I see well them we can't allow you to fight this battle especially since your injured" Hubris says as the others agree, "well I can't stand around while innocent people are being killed" Thalleous says a he was angered, "I know but for now please just head to Pikoro Village. That is were we were originally going to make out based but now we can make it a new Safezoon. But first you might want to give your brother the heads up" Hubris says as Thalleous nods and begin to hop on his horse before he has he name being called out, "wait Thalleous sir I wish to have word with you" a young female Sendaris girl says panting and Thalleous re-hopes off his horse and faces the girl, "why it's nice to see you again young Ria Sendaris. I haven't heard from you since the attack on Sendaris" Thalleous says as Ria finsiend gathering her breathe, "yeah well I've been training with Grek and Onyx. Although Onyx is a bit more ruogh while Grek take it one step at a time. But hey I learn how to use my song and I'm getting good at learning it" Ria explains with smile as Thalleous nods in aproval,"well done Ria I impressed with your progress since you first joined us. Keep up the great work" Thalleous says a he ride off and Ria walks back to train with Grek some more.
Meanwhile with Ingressus and Achillean
Achillean couldn't believe what he had done to Thalleous. His friend of all people and Achillean knew he could have survived but wasn't sure and as Ingressus catches up he stops and leans against a tree to catch his breath, "Ok Achillean can you stop for ten seconds" Ingressus starts while panting and gasping for air but only notice Achillean on the ground with a few tears rolling down his face, "hey hey don't cry Achillean it wasn't your fault. Thalleous chose that path not you and we make sure that Thalleous doesn't get his hands near the Prime Songs or who knows what he could do now with his mind still currupted" Ingressus resures Achillean which does make him smile but it still hurts that he hurt his own friend. Achillean and Ingressus made camp an while Ingressus slepted Achillean couldn't knowing that Thalleous was out there but them gets a mysterious message or shall I say invitation to a meeting but there was no more further information as Achillean informs Ingressus the two of them travel to said meeting to see what this is all about.
At the Meeting
The meeting was being held in Tu'la, the Meif'wa kingdom off the the west of Ardonia. The kingdom was a lot bigger on the inside full of markets and house similar to the ones in Crown Peak. The Great Hall had Tu'la's logo an a large table and each of the leaders or representive sitting in a chair with their banner an over them. Achillean and Ingressus could see the the king of Tu'la sitting there in his chair facing them, "welcome Ingressus and Achillean please take a seat" the kind greets them and offers them a seat when they do. Ingressus takes in account of all these different leaders that include a few Ingressus has heard of. The leaders of NorthWind and The Ice Kingdom Queen Glacier and her brother King Lucient, the leader of the werewolves of Ru'nan Derek, the leaders of Cydonia an K'arthen. Derek the leader of the werewolves looked displeased, "WE MUST ATTACK THEM NOW" Derek said as his slammed his fist on the table and the others started agreeing, "I inject to this. I say we find out more about what the Deamos plan on doing" King Lucient says but Derek's mind was clear as day he wanted the Deamos dead, "I agree and besides without Warbringer we can't start another war" The king of Tu'la says, "But we have the next best thing. We have The Tidesinger and The Deathsinger" the Tu'la king says as everyone looks at Achillean and Ingressus with faces of aw, "Wait to you want us to lead another Great War" Ingressus object with a face of shocked a the king nods but Achillean knew he couldn't fight even after 154 years of peace they can't mess with that now. But then what really shocked Achillean was the question that bugged him the most. What did Thalleous have to do with any of this? "What does Thalleous have to do with this" Achillean ask," I thought you knew. He started the Phoenix Alliance" Queen Glacier says as Ingressus and Achillean's faces went into shook. For a moment there was silence as Achillean's head was spinning with so many questions are they serious Thalleous Sendaris was the leader of The Phoenix Allience the whole time. He led Ardonia to victory and brought everlasting peace for 154 years, "Achillean are you alright you've have that look for about five minutes now" The kind of Tu'la asked as Achillean broke out of his train of thoughts, "yes I just have so many questions like-" just before he finished a messagenger bird comes with a note for the king of Tu'la, "wats that" Derek asked, "it's a note saying
Dear king Of Tu'la,
I'm pleased to inform you that the Phoenix Allience is being Reborn. Please send word to the other leaders about this. I'll be arriving there shortly after I take care of business at the Outclaws with Lady Bronze.
Yours Truly- Warbringer" after reading the note Achillean's heart jumped,"so Warbringer is still alive isn't he what somewhere in the hundreds" Derek asked but then Achillean buts in,"he's actually three hundred and perfectly healthy for his age" Achillean remarks which brings surprised faces to the other leaders.
The meeting lasted at least an hour as the leaders all came to an agreement. They would rejoin the alliance as they did year's ago but the leaders of Cydonia an K'arthen we're both not happy but agreed anyway. As Achillean walks back to the inn he and Ingressus we're stating in he couldn't believe Thalleous survived the attack and Ingressus seemed to share these same thoughts, "I can't believe he survived our attack. This is crazy we should go find him and-" Ingressus started but the notices Achillean's face of worry, "I don't think thats a good idea I mean you saw what he tried to do. He tried to kill me" Achillean's voices shock in fear then Ingressus placed a han on his shoulder,"hey we will fin a way to restore peace no matter how long it takes" Ingressus's words filled Achillean with hope that things will turn around and this decision may have just changed the course of History. For this was the starts of.... The Tides vs War 15th Wall of Time
