Welcome to Gaia! ::

Joshua opened his eyes slowely, they had a cold, lifeless look to them. He held his ribs with one hand, and shoved Joseph away with the other. " ...Leave me alone. " He couldnt help crying, he couldn't stop the tears from coming, " ... Why am I so important? No one even likes me,and you know it.... " He glared at Joseph, " ...And neither do you. " Joshua couldnt get up and continued to lay there helplessly waiting for the loooong lecture that Joseph would give him.

Joshua slowely pulled himself to his feet, and stood in front of his sister. Drawing his blade, " I'm fine. " He said, he wasn't really worried about himself anymore, he was more worried about Joseph. Joshua ran into the crowd of soldiers and helped fight, dispite the fact he was ignoring strict orders. When he turned around a soldier was about to feather Joseph with their bow, " JOSEPH!! "
And just when they needed him, a javelin had been thrown through that archers back. Steffan appeared, wiping out a couple soldiers each thrust. He turned his horse to joseph,saying " I told you I'd be back. I dont get beaten by those generals so easily. "

Steffan paused, staring blankly at Joseph with a look of worry in his expression. He looked at the ground as he dismounted his horse. The Asrelangranian soldiers were all dead anyway, " ...im sorry... " was all he said.

Joshua watched everyone, they all looked really serious. what happened to the other knight? thought joshua, worringly. Then, as if he were totally oblivious to it before. All the pain from his broken rib came back, and he collapssed to the floor beside them, though he was still concious.

Steffan turned, and immediately kneeled down by the prince. "somethings wrong" he said, but to himself mainly. He looked at the Prince who seemed completely breathless. Joshua's face had started turning white. He looked at the prince with sympothetic eyes, " Your highness, where does it hurt? "
When Joshua pointed to is ribs, Steffan strted feeling for any broken bones, our wounds. Then steffan's face had turned white. " we should... stay here tonight. Joshua's ribs are broken and maybe the Asrelangranian soldiers with Amelia will pass by. "

Steffan stared at Joseph with a confused look, " to my knowledge all the other soldiers were wiped out. ...Or have you seen others? " He re-mounted his horse. "...But. ... I suppose your right, we should at least seak refuge in a nearby village. Lets go. " He pulled the princess onto his horse and started toward the vllage that didnt seem that far away from him. " I wouldnt usually try to endanger our citizens like this, but... the prince is hurt. There isnt much we can do about that... "

Joshua couldn't breath right, due to his ribs, every breath was like a large gasp. And he was feeling light-headed. Damn it, one thing after another. His parents, the genral that killed them, the fall, his ribs... Now what? His eyes seemed to dimmer,and his face was getting paler. Tears were rolling down his face but he wasnt crying. This was likely the worst day of his life.

"..Mngh.." A soft grumble escaped the lips of the young princess. Soon enough though her eyes fluttered open. She blinked, lazily for a second, before she gasped, shooting up in a panic. "Where are my--Whats th-Where are w---..?!" Amber shivered lightly, confused, and clueless about everything. She looked around somewhat in a panic. Why weren't they in the castle? What happend again? "Oh.." She frowned, suddenly returning to her sences. Her parents were dead. Those jerks invaded the castle and everything..

Amber blinked, looking over at the commotion the medics were making. She flinched. "J-Joshua..!" The princess cried suddenly. What? He got hurt too? This couldn't be! This was terrible. "What happend to him..?! What happend to my brother..?!" Amber asked, looking around for an explanation.

"Princess!" Joseph rushed over to help Princess Amber. "My lady, are you ok?" Joseph helped her down from her horse. It had been a long day for the princess and prince. Their parents were dead and they had been pursued far across their kingdom. Joseph felt sorry for the royal pair.
