I OWN NOTHING except Amara and she is mine and if you steal her I will hurt you
This story is about my RPC Amara who helps stop an evil plan to take over Sitia. It is not meant to be serious and not meant to be an insult to the series
Janco ran through the hallways of the castle. He had just got disturbing news and needed to inform Valek. He would be with The Commander and Janco would have to stay out in the hall until the meeting with the generals was finished but as soon as it was done Valek would hear about the news.
Janco stopped outside the war room door right as it click open. The generals came out almost all at once. Janco recognized them immediately, mostly because they all wore uniforms.
Janco stood rigidly until Valek stepped out.
"Janco? Why are you here?" He looked at his second hand with a puzzled look.
Janco hated being the bearer of bad news but he had lost the rock paper scissors game with Ari and had to deliver it. "A note came from Yelena."
"That's great." Valek smiled on of his rare smiles.
"That's what Ari and I thought." He handed the rolled up scroll to Valek.
Valek unrolled it and his faced seemed to pale even more then usual. The hand writing on it looked like it was written in a hurry and there were spots of blood at the bottom, Yelena's blood. Only one word was written on the scroll.
Help.
--------
Valek rushed off with Janco close behind. "What do you think is wrong?" Janco asked.
"I'm not sure but you can bet I'll be by her side." Valek mumbled. "Go pack,"
"Already packed." Janco almost grinned but he couldn't seem to do it at the moment. One of his few friends was in danger, and he was going to make sure to help her.
Janco left Valek to pack his bag of tricks and went back to the soldier barracks to get Ari.
--------
"PAUSE, PAUSE, PAUSE, PAUSE, PAUSE, PAUSE, PAUSE!" Janco shouted pausing the story.
"What?" I snapped.
"Really, Kamica, that's the best intro you could do?" He glared at me.
"Well, it's just the beginning." I rolled my eyes.
Well why don't you do a real introduction to you fan fiction." He offered.
I thought about it. "Alright here it is." I cleared my throat.

"Alright fine good enough I guess." Janco sighed "Unpause."
----------
Janco rushed to the soldier barracks and ran into Amara.
"Janco, what's the rush?" Amara asked. Amara went beyond standards in everything. Her hair was short but didn't take away from her elegance and her amethyst eyes just seemed to shine brighter every second. She was and excellent fighter and was an even better dancer.
"Sorry can't talk right now." He moved past her.
She followed him.
"Is something wrong?" She asked.
Janco tried his best to hide his worry but Amara saw right through it.
"Whats wrong, Janco?"
"N..nothing, just a special mission secret hush hush. You know the drill."
Amara stopped him and pointed to the two red diamonds on her uniform. "You see these. These prove that I can be trusted. I'm part of Valek's special corps." She took her hand away from her uniform and looked at Janco. "I also care about you, and want to know why you aren't smiling like usual."
Janco sighed and whispered to her the details.
"Oh my gosh, I have to come and help." She gasped.
"You'll have to talk to Valek about it. Oh and don't tell him who told you. I like my skin intact." With that Janco ran off.
-------------
Amara wasn't your average soldier. At first she had hated Valek, her uncle had turned out to have magic and was assassinated by him. Her father had told her what a promising young man her uncle was and that his life was stolen by Valek. So when Amara became a soldier it was just for a chance to fight against Valek, she knew about his challenge and planned to train until she beat him. Though once she had joined his special corps she forgot about her grudge and did her job.
She entered Valek's office where he was packing different bottles into his pack.
"Yes Amara what is it?" He asked not looking up.
"I heard what happened to Liaison Yelena. I would like to help." She kept her tone as impartial as she could.
"I don't have time for this." He sighed.
"And neither does Yelena. Now I only met her once but in my mind I see her as someone that is worth helping. I would like to help." Drops of anger slipped into her voice. "You know I'm an excellent fighter. I could help you."
He let out another sigh.
"Meet with Ari and Janco if they say yes you can come."
Amara nodded and left his office.
She ran to the barracks and packed her bags before finding Ari and Janco.
"Ari, Janco wait up!" She called after them.
"Amara?" Ari seemed confused but Janco smiled.
"Valek said that if it was ok with you I can come with you." She smiled.
Janco nodded but Ari took a moment.
"I'm not sure..."
"Come on Ari you know I'm a great fighter and I would love to help Yelena."
"Alright, but I reserve the right to save you if you get in trouble." He shook a brotherly finger.
She laughed and nodded.
----------
They reached Citadel the next day but before they were close enough Valek had them all change out of their uniforms.
"Ixian uniforms are usually met with hostility in Sitia." Janco explained when Amara gave a puzzling look.
She nodded and took the bundle of clothing Valek offered.
She went to find a private place to change. She unrolled the bundle and cringed. A SKIRT!
---------
"PAUSE!" Amara shouted.
"What now?" I snapped.
"A skirt! A skirt!"
"So?"
"I hate skirts! Why a skirt." She flamed.
"Valek will explain." I beamed.
She glared but unpaused the story.
--------
She finished dressing and went to join the others. She almost smacked Janco's impish grin off his face.
"Say anything and you won't be a guy anymore." She warned.
"Aw, I was just going to complement you on the great legs." He laughed and she smacked him.
Amara turned to Valek "Why a skirt?"
"Women in Sita normally wear skirts. We need to blend in." He shrugged.
Amara growled but nodded.
--------
They entered Citadel without any trouble and Valek took them to the market place in search of a little kid
Someone tugged on Amara's sleeve. She reached for her hidden switchblade but relaxed when it was a little kid.
"Lovely lady, may I help you and your friends?" The girl smiled.
Amara glanced at Valek and he stepped in.
"We're looking for Fisk." Valek knelt to eye level of the girl.
"Master Fisk has his own clients, I would be happy to help you. Master Fisk trained me himself." She smiled.
"Yes but we need to ask Fisk himself for help." Valek paused for a second and tried another tactic. "We're friends of Yelena's."
The girl smiled and nodded "I'll get Fisk right away." She ran off.
Amara looked at Valek. "Fisk?
"Little used-to-be-beggar-boy. Yelena helped him start the Helper's Guild and now all the beggars here have jobs." He gestured to the different kids caring packages for people and bargaining with merchants.
"Hmm,"
They stood there for a while in silence until a young man approached them. He wore a grim face that didn't fit his face.
"I suppose you want information on Yelena's captures."
Valek nodded.
"I saw her being ambushed in an ally way. They pricked her with curare and took her someone but I couldn't figure out where."
"Why didn't you try to stop her?" Amara asked.
"I'm not a soldier. If you want to know the best place to buy ink I'll be happy to help but I can't fight whats so ever." He smirked at her.
She glared but kept her mouth shut.
"Does Irys know?" Valek asked Fisk.
"Wow, you haven't heard from Yelena since her last mission in Ixia have you?" Fisk seemed shocked.
"What exactly has been happening?" Ari almost growled.
"The Council has gone insane. They have even accused The Masters of mutiny. Everyone is on edge and The Council has locked The Master's in The Keep's dungeons."
"Wow," Was all Janco could slip out. "Why didn't The Master's fight back."
"Master Bloodgood is getting too old. Master Cowan still isn't used to making her own decisions, and Master Jewelroze was threatened with Yelena's safety." Fisk explained.
"Sounds bad." Amara noted.
"No bad was when one of The Masters joined with The Fire Warper and tried to take over Sitia. This is dire!" Fisk corrected.
Valek thanked Fisk for the information and decided they should leave Citadel and hide outside the city.
-------
They came to Valek's spy house near Citadel and rested there for the night.
"I claim the couch!" Janco plopped down on it.
Ari shot him a look. "Don't you think Amara should have the couch." He whispered.
Janco smiled. "Why can't we share it?" He winked at Amara.
"I got a better idea why don't we spar hand to hand for it." She grinned back at him.
Janco jumped up at the challenge. "Of course, what a great idea!" He took a fighting stance.
She copied his stance and throw a punch. He blocked and they ended up in a whole battle.
Of course just as Valek walked in Amara flipped Janco onto a table and it broke under him.
Valek sighed "I'm surrounded by idiots."
"I get the couch." Amara beamed.
"I let you win!" Janco defended his ego.
"Yeah whatever, your just peeved that I won!"
Janco sulked while Amara plopped down on the couch.
"So how long will we be staying here?" Ari asked Valek.
"Just for tonight, tomorrow we are going to reenter Citadel and try to track Yelena's captures." Valek's eyes turned cold.
