Prologue 1: Otheria and Cazar Join
Percy looked at Nico who smiled slightly. Luke, Jason and Zoe had destroyed any of those looking to become Paladins Nobles or Masters, those that had tried to fight them were either arrogant or ridiculously stupid. "We wish to try." Everyone turned to see two figures, one wore black armour that clung to his body but seemed to be highly protective and his hood covered his face, the other was a woman who wore an odd mix of a long sleeved tunic and boots, there was metal armour placed on her knees and feet as coverage but she was utterly unprotected bar that. Though, both carried swords that seemed to have a quiet hum of power. Nico shrugged and looking at Percy who nodded, the Paladin masters quickly took notice of the newcomers seeing that the two were not going to be as easy as the others for Luke and Jason to take down.
The man moved forward first and the girl stepped back, her hood coming off, revealing perfectly cut features with black hair that was pulled to the side. She just introduced herself and her companion "I am Otheria, this is my brother Cazar. I wish you luck." Luke went forwards and drawing his sword swung at Cazar who merely jumped over him and then the two fought, Nico then moved to join with Percy and Jason. Much to Bianca's amusement this mysterious Cazar knocked Nico then Luke to the ground, then moved to disarm Jason and then he fought one on one with Percy, Cazar managing to keep up in the duel until Percy tried his hardest when Cazar was disarmed. Cazar pulled his hood back, black hair and blue eyes met Percy's and he asked "do I pass?" Percy laughed and Luke pushed himself up from the floor saying amazed "you managed to keep up with Percy and your asking if you passed?!" Cazar flushed but it was quickly controlled as he said "my sister is better in a different way. Otheria?" The woman looked at her brother with a blank face as she said "father will be impressed your devotion to swinging a piece of metal has gotten you somewhere." Percy looked affronted at this as did Luke and Jason while Piper, Zoe and Leo laughed. Leo asking "how many do you wish to fight?" Cazar smiled before replying "why don't you all try? I am sure my sister will go easy on you. Nothing permanent." Otheria rolled her eyes, the first emotion they had seen. Nico got up off the floor with Jason, the Paladin Masters circling Otheria. Her mouth twitched as Cazar yelled "begin!" they all charged as one, Otheria's eyes glowed green and the group were forced to stop, their armour having turned to stone. Leo swore as he tried, and failed, to get out only igniting and burning his hand that had him yelping in pain. Cazar looked at his sister who shrugged minutely then waving her hand the paladin Masters were disarmed. The paladin nobles were amazed as Chaos said "Otheria, Cazar. I am honoured the high Systinian families have sent their best to be their representatives." Otheria replied calmly "they didn't. We came by ourselves." She waved her hand and everyone was back to normal, Otheria's clothing now changed to a set of armour, the metal only protecting her arms and chest, her neck being protected by the armoured high collar. The boots Otheria wore were green and black and seemed to mould into her trousers, her blue and white cloak rippled in the faint breeze, she looked at their amazed faces with a blank expression. Cazar was now wearing trousers, black boots and a white jacket with blue markings down the sleeves. His hands were covered with gloves and his sword had been strapped to his back. Leo's burn had faded and he smiled, thanking her. Chaos just gestured to Percy who looked at his fellows who all nodded, asking Otheria and Cazar to kneel he said "swear the oath."
Otheria nodded and knelt first, her face lowered and eyes closed as her hand placed itself over her heart as she said "I swear my loyalty to the paladins of this realm and to their purpose until I am released or leave. To stop those who would destroy the peace. Upon the magic I wield I make this vow." Cazar made the same oath but his last line was "Upon the sword I wield strong and true, I make this vow." Percy smiled and the two stood up as Nico said dryly "congratulations Paladin Master Otheria, Paladin Master Cazar." Both the siblings looked slightly surprised at this as Percy said "Cazar, you shall be my lieutenant, my second in command of the Paladins and Marines." Nico continued "Otheria, you shall be the head of the sorcerers section of the Paladins and commander of the base here on Chaos City." Otheria smiled softly and accepted with a nod, Cazar followed suit.
