Tasha smiles nervously at the two men behind the table.
Tall Wymond takes a deep breath. "Whatever you were expectin' to fight 'ere, it's changed. There's chaos outside, and I'm pretty sure none of you 'ave any better idea what's goin' on 'ere than I do. You need all the 'elp you can get, and you 'ave a man 'ere in your dungeon with more experience in war than anyone else in the Hand. Anders -- erm, Azad -- 'as been a soldier 'is whole life. Use that." He half-smiles, awkwardly. "Um, that's . . . that's it."
"So, what?" says Dalibor, "You came here to try to get your friend free, and this is the best you could come up with? Jawless, put them with the refugees. Make sure Flintedge knows they're not to leave."
Would Tasha like to do anything before they are escorted out?
"l.... *Eyes start to water. Bights lip* "Please don't hurt Azad. He has a good hart." *Turns to go with Jawless.*

With that, they are returned to the large room full of civilians. Jawless and her soldiers leave, returning to the tunnels to continue their patrol.
*Walks over to someone who is standing not to far away.* "Excuse me, but why are there so many people here?"
She looks up as you approach and you can see that she looks very tired. "We've come from the Shadow Kingdom. The Black Knight was doing terrible things. Some people tried to stop him, and they were executed. We had to run before he did the same to us."

"Black Knight?" *Tasha casts a glance at Tall Wymond*
"Leader of the kingdom, right?" he asks, looking at the woman.
She nods. "It's a title. The current one claims to be the former Black Knight returned, but no one's sure if it's true."
Fiery tears flow from Blaze's eyes as he remembers his lost brethren. After all, he himself could barely recall the past events until now. He collapses to his knees. "I am no traitor, Elf...it is you who betrayed us..." With newfound vigor,( now that he remembers everything) Blaze rises to his feet to aid Alpida in her clash against the Black Knight. He pauses though, glancing up at the sky...
Alpida notices his glance. "Can you stop this?"
"He obviously has no control!" shouts the Black Knight. "You are angry, Alpida, but ask yourself: who is the greater threat here?"
Blaze turns to Alpida before nodding slowly. Turning back to face the Black Knight, Blaze raises his hands, and the strange mist he exuded early surrounds the three of them. Visions...of a man being carried through a blizzard...the man is critically injured...the man is the Black Knight...wolves' howls are heard...the conscious man carrying the Black Knight is suffering multiple wounds himself...when he looks around nervously at the approaching wolves, who smell their blood...it is made clear who the man is. It is Lord Hunter Blaze.
Present day Blaze looks knowingly at the Black Knight and Alpida.
OOC: Did you ever consider writing screenplays, or turning a castle RP into one?

"Very well, Hunter Blaze. The old man trusted you. I will also. But when we are done here, if you cannot stop this curse, I will do what I must." Alpida faces the Black Knight, standing alongside Blaze.
"He obviously has no control!" shouts the Black Knight. "You are angry, Alpida, but ask yourself: who is the greater threat here?"

OOC: Oops, I forgot to answer your question in my reply.
I've never thought about screenplays, that's an interesting angle. I have written a couple stories on TBB, and I started a third that was loosely based on parts of the Castle RP, but that didn't get very far. What I have thought about is writing books, but at this point in my life I don't have the time, patience, or dedication required. Maybe someday.
