A woman walked gracefully towards the city walls. ~Zong Xin. To think that I of all people would be chosen to come to the great city on behalf of Yu Min.~ Tightening the strap of her Gu-Zheng, laying delicately across her back, Yue approached the gate that kept all intruders out of the mighty city.
"Halt who goes there," a gruff guard shouted towards Yue.
"Minstrel Yue Qiao of the harbor city Yu Min. I am here to represent the trading town in the conquests of our lord." giving a slight bow, Yue waited to be accepted into the city.
"Raise the gate!!" A deep rumbling was heard as the city gate was lifted using the ingenious levers of China.
Jumping slightly at the noise, Yue continued onward into the city.

She was almost like a shadow as she flitted from the tree she'd landed in to the ground beneath it. She landed as gracefully as any female, even more so because she was a warrior. Her face was blank as she straightened up, approaching the large gate of Zhong Xin, capital of Tian Guo. She'd heard of the kingdom numerous times and from what she'd heard about it's King she was almost certain that he would be the best to serve under.
Her hair flicked lightly from a breeze as she stepped up to the gate, looking to it's top as a man peered over the edge and glared down at her, "Who are you and what is your business here," he shouted rather rudely. Ming Chi's expression did not change as her hands reached up to grip around the string of her long bow, "They call me Ming Chi! I am a rogue warrior who has come to serve under the King of Tian Guo!"
The soldier regarded her critically for a moment, looking her over for a good five minutes before actually nodding and disappearing from the edge. Chi heard a shout before the groan of the gates opening caught her attention. As soon as the gates were open enough for her to slip through she was gone, flitting into the city a bit before slowing to a leisurely walk on her way to the castle.

Akana has wandered far and wide, and lesser men had been known to bet on just how long she'd been at her travels. The truth would shock them, if the strange girl ever did sit down to count out those years. She'd found favor in a boat trip to some new land she'd not yet tried, Tian Guo. If it's here, I only hope it isn't at the bottom of the sea. While long for some, the trip to the city gates was fairly short for Akana, relatively speaking, though the gates are surely a relief. It'd be nice to sit, to relax, to find potable water.
She's thirsty for all manner of things. Knowledge, direction, water...you name it.
A voice booms down from some undisclosed location, startling her out of her thoughts. "Halt. State your purpose."
Oh. That. She blinks, thinking rapidly, then looks up to the top of the gate. "Destiny in a blood-red jewel."
The guards aren't quite sure what to do with that. Looking at each other, then back at their little enigma, they try again. "State your purpose in Tian Guo, woman."
Don't they understand? "I seek a jewel." Confused, she waits for a reply.
Weird. The guards confer quietly, then decide to leave this one up to their lord. "Proceed to the castle."
Whew. With a sigh of relief, Akana nods her thanks, then slips through the gates as they open, careful not to let those gates snap shut on her white gown.
Surely she'd be marked a foreigner by her garb. She'll have to be careful, here. With this in mind, she sets off toward the castle.

Lyric aka Huxian rode on a black horse towards the gate. She smiled softly and stopped and starred at the gaurds who blocked her way. "Is there something wrong?" she asked him with a smirk.
One stepped fowards. "What buisnnes have you here?"
"Oh, none really. I am but a traveler here to get a good nights rest and stock up on supplies." She got of her horse and starred at him, her huge brown eyes starred into his. "now is there a problem with that" she said walking up close to him holding on to the reins of her horse.
He gulped and gave a soft blush. "No, proceed" he said
She passed him and walked into the kingdom.
THe man just took a deep breath.
Huxian was good at using her body and beauty to get what she wanted, though she never resulted to sex. That was to easy, it was a bit more fun to lure them in with looks, wit, and a cunnning tongue.

A man sat on a bed in a small, messy and crowded room under the Arenas in Golgotha, holding a simple sword in his hands. He stared at the armor hanging from the wall near the door. 'I haven't gotten a good fight in so long, and now all of the Maze-survivors are either dead or missing. Too bad, I had wanted to fight Journey so much. Nobody will challenge me in the Arenas. I need a new challenge, somewhere where I am unknown once more... If Evie were here, I could get my mind off of this killing. But, she is on a mission for the Clone Underground.' He stood up as he realized that he was hungry and walked towards the door.
Suddenly, instead of the hallway under the Areana, he found himself outside of some gates to a town. He looked just as surprised as the guards of the gate. Finally, one got their bearings and stepped forward.
"State your business! How did you appear here?"
Finlay's eyebrows raised in shock. "I know not where 'here' is. Where am I?"
The guard looked angered and insulted, and it showed in his voice. "You are outside the gates to Zhong Xin, the capital of Tian Guo. And if you have no further questions, I ask that you would leave. Now." Both of the guards began walking towards Finlay, their weapons drawn. It was then that Finlay noticed that everything about this placed seemed primitive. They attacked him, and he easily dodged. It was a simple matter to kill them both and then walk into Zhong Xin.

Zhao Yun raced towards the city, following the wake of Rozallia's scythe. With his dragon spear ready, he stormed the gates to the capital.
