Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kyo, held Rin tightly for several minutes. before letting her go and piicking her up and putting her on a horse. He walked over and climbed on the second one, and turned to his aide who was holinding th ehorses reigns, and said,"Speed and silence." the aide nodded and passed it on to the next man, who passed it on to the next and so forth. Kyo thangesttured his hand, as silently the army began to move out through the gates Kyo and Rin remained surrpunded by mounted soldiers,3 ranks deep. Kyo turned to Rin and said."So are you ready to follow them?"

She looked over at Kyo, her eyes were almost blank with fear, her face expressionless. She turned her head back to face out where they headed, but didnt know what else to say or do. "I dont feel safe Kyo...." It was the truth, she did not feel safe at all and she looked down at the ground as they rode along.

"No...." She kept her blank expression on the ground as they rode, something didnt feel right, but she wasnt sure if anyone else sensed it. Truthfully, she was afraid that she would lose Kyo forever, and she couldnt bare the thought of not having him with her. She did love him very much and she was so afraid for him and herself. With her knew keen senses, she could hear things and sense things like she was able to when she was still of Elven culture. She noticed that her horse pawed at the ground restlessly, which made her even more nervous than before.

The column halted, and Kyos brow furrowed, and he rode ahead scowling and when he reached the front of the line he growled to a soldier,"Whats the holdup?" the soldier bowed and said,"Im sorry milord but.."he pointed to the end of the rode, and Kyo saw thousands of campfires. There were no IMperial army camps nearby and none of the legions had stopped to make camp. That left only one possibility. Kyo spun around and rode back to the legions generals who were looking confused as to the hold up,"Gentleman. There is a rebel camp not 3 miles from where we stand. NOw I plan to attack it. You,"he pointed to one general,"Take a legion and get to the rear of their army. You, take the archers and get to the left. You on their right flank with the rest of the troops. I and the Burning Legion will attackf rom the front. The archers will fire first. This will be followed by an attack by the units on the left flank. The Rebels will turn to combet them. It is than the units on their rear and the front will attack and encompas the Rebels in a circle. Those who dont surrender will be put to the sword." the Generals rushed to comply with his orders and legions began to silently run into position. ONly the Burning Legion was left, and they moved into a battle line. Kyo watched the Troops moving into position, with a sneer of satisfaction on his face.

Kyo watched the soldiers move into position, silently. The preparations were almost complete. HE loke dover and saw RIn preparing for battle,"Rin...I dont want you to get hurt, please stay back and let my soldiers do the fighting..." his voice was urgent and pleading as he spoke.

Haku made it back to the shore in between north and south Korea. He sat down, seeing no one he knew yet again. His wounds still hurt him, yet he didnt let it get to him now. He looked out to the ocean and all around him. He was still alone.

Moving swiftly through the area, Rayne saw the decimated area that was by his technique. It seem that there was no one near the area and it almost seem that the area was deserted. Some people began to gather around the small sinkhole that was caused by his technique and some of the people within the crowd started to board up the sinkhole with wooden boards. Many of the people in the crowd started to disperse as the people were repairing the street.

Rayne walked passed the groups and pairs of people hearing some them saying " Who could of done such a thing..it couldn't be a war starting...could it." One of them said " Well mind you that ....I overheard rumors in the bar...that the Hitokiri Ten Hinote is back..." The woman next to the man said " Well...don't say that ...its quite frightening for the kids...to overhear this...especially when he was in the war in Japan...that is why some people...that returned from the war moved to Korea..."

Rayne kept moving through the area seeing that many people could not take another war. He looked around seeing that there are still elite swordsmen group that still exsisted from the last five years and none of their skills have rust away.

As he looked around seeing that it was still merely morning in South Korea, since the sun barely stroke its brillant rays of golden lights onto the landscape of the village. Rayne stood there on top of a nearby hill near the village as he seem to be training half the night knowing that the unsupected village now knows that there might be a war coming. He felt a little more safe, since they will know when to supect such a event.

As he stood there a slight chilling breeze came from the east of the hills going down to the sleepy village as the sun started rise upward finally stroking its brillance onto the village. Rayne started to leap downward back to the village and decided to look around for the elite swordsmen groups.

He made his way down to the hill, avoiding some small trees. As he made his way through the area, spotting few people still wandering among the streets. He landed onto the ground at the entrance of the village and walked towards the road that leads into the village.
