Welcome to Gaia! ::

Keruvan investigated the site of his stronghold. In truth, the port had already been built before Keruvan even arrived, and now his men were working on other parts of the stronghold. Keruvan would be the first to admit that his men were not exceptionally intelligent, skillful, or powerful, but they were most certainly devoted and willing to work hard. In the case of building massive monuments they certainly were effective, to say the least. Thus far Keruvan was very much pleased with his new base of operations.

Keruvan returned to the path in the forest seperating his stronghold from the port several hours later. From what he had gathered, everything was alright in his book. The port and waters were to the South, whilst his stronghold was at the center. To the East there were hills and forests, which was very good indeed. To the West there was a mountain that should, in Keruvan's opinion, fend off most invading armies as serve as a good attachment to the stronghold itself. Meanwhile, to the North, there was a plain that was fairly flat, much like a wasteland really, and lead into Lord Merek's town.

Keruvan personally wasn't very surprised that there was a wasteland so close to such otherwise blooming life. It was apparent that many battles were fought on that plain in the past, and hence it had likely been burnt to a crisp on a monthly, maybe even a weekly, basis shortly after the time that Lord Merek left. At least now everything seemed peaceful. Keruvan, figuring his stronghold was not yet complete, sat down alongst the path. He began thinking of the new possibilites, of potential spells, or rather techniques, he could learn. Normally a useless venture to most, but Keruvan liked it that way. Before his training, Keruvan would fill his mind with potential training prospects that could prove fruitful. Then, when he started, he knew exactly what he wanted to do.

Keruvan's followers already had a system in place to deal with intruders, one that they were very much tempted to use for this one. First, however, they were going to see if they could resolve this peacefully. One of the followers working on the construction, a Rezuru class Demon, walked up to the stranger. "What are you doing here Human? This is a private construction zone. Please leave immediatly." The impish Demon requested.

The workers were obviously alarmed by this and hence lost their cool. They immediatly skipped the normal routine procedure and sent up a flare into the air. The flare exploded once it had lifted about 150 meters off of the ground, making a terribly loud noise. Keruvan immediatly sprinted to the construction site, and soon arrived to see the man with the katana.

Keruvan's followers were not supposed to call him except in the most dire of emergencies, but, like Keruvan himself noted, his followers were not exactly the most intelligent bunch, and jumped to concieve this man as a terrible threat to them...Which in truth he was. Almost all of Keruvan's followers were Rezuru or Zuru class Demons, certainly not able to stand against a skilled warrior...Or even an unskilled one at times.

Keruvan did not bother interrogating the Human, he simply attacked. He tried to kill the Human in one fell swoop by aiming to plung his left hand through the Human's skull.

ooc: GTg for now

ooc: Back

Keruvan stopped his assault, and then thought for a moment. His vacant expression soon changed to a devious smile, as a dangerous thught crossed his mind. "The direction that Moronia is located in is that way.' Keruvan answered, actually pointing him in the right direction.

Keruvan realized that Lord Merek's army was in Moronia. While this foe could not kill Lord Merek himself, he could assist in it. His thinking was that, by getting rid of this one enemy for the moment, he might destroy a second, or possibly even both if he was truly forunate.

Regardless, Keruvan was not fighting for revenge anyways. He was not aware of this Human's full capabilities, and frankly Keruvan did not wish to know them from first-hand experience. Keruvan was fighting to defend his estate...If this Human would leave him be, go to Moronia, and possibly have the Human die in the process, along with Lord Merek, all the sweeter. Keruvan would lose little by comparision to if he had fought this Human head-on.
