Throughout the forest, hooves were heard slamming against the solid ground. A rider in black armor with a light grey scarf around her neck rides up on her midnight black horse. She listens to the sound that is produced elsewhere. She runs off into the forest, running to the sound of the beating hooves. While running as fast as her horse can take her, she grips the leather bag that clings on her left thigh. She finally reaches the area, and a scream is heard. There were bandits wearing red and light brown surrounding the carriage. She jumps off her horse and points in then opposite direction. The horse bows his head before leaving. She pulls out a small silver whistle that has a wolf carved into the side of it and blows. It was a silent whistle to where only a dog could hear it. After the short note ended, people dressed in a dark shade of grey showed and attacked. She watched in boredom as her men took out the worthless bandits in less than a minute. She walked out of the darkness that surrounded her and she takes a look around the carriage. Looking around it, she sees an orange haired woman with a rather large bust. "Mai…" she inspects Mai's body and finds a gash wound on her left side of her body. She orders her men to take Mai to the infirmary and she went to the carriage and cut down some of the walls. She pushed aside the wooden walls as she finds something intriguing. "S-Shizuru?" by the looks of it, she became unconscious and she picks her up, and then hands her over to her men. Just then, she slowly regains her conscious and barley is able to say something.
"…oh…" She has them take her away as quick as they could. After their shadows disappear, she looks around the area for anything that has any fortune. Displeased, she walks off and calls out to her steed. "Duran!" the black horse comes back into view and she leaps on him. "Let's go, we have something new to investigate for now." Duran bows his head before running into the forest. They ride up to where a small village is surrounded by heavy steel walls. Duran stopped at the front of the gates and she jumped off. She patted him and stroked his long mane before he left into the woods.
She watched as he left her sight. The black warrior turned in direction of the gate and walks up to the heavy steel doors. The walls were a flossy green, and there was a specific pattern on it. A white hexagon was in the middle of it and inside that hexagon, there was the emblem. It was a dragon with dark blue scales, and blood red eyes. Below the dragon, it had the words "rebellion" in bold lettering. She stopped before it and pulled off her grey scarf to and showed it before it. The ground rumbled softly as the gates opened, and she walked in. Entering the small village, there is children who play in the open, men, women, and the elderly are bickering among each other as she walks past them. Even thought this is her home town, the people residing there was never happy with her. Suddenly, a redhead with lime green eyes runs up to the woman and hit her in the back of her head, which makes her helmet fall of. Reviling her dark midnight blue hair and her emerald eyes, she stumbles backs and faces her attacker. "Nao! What the fuck was that for?" "Natsuki! What the hell were you doing out there?"
Natsuki unsheathes her sword and points it at Nao. Nao does the same thing, except her weapon is catlike claws that go from her mid-arm to inches above her fingertips. As they were about to charge at each other, a voice stops them. "Oi Nao! Natsuki!" "Geeze Chie! We were only kidding right Nao?" A woman with short black hair and hazel eyes with gases walks up to them from out of an ally, along with that cocky smile of hers. "I just want to say way to go Natsuki!" Chie said while giving Natsuki a thumbs up. "What do you mean by that Harada?" Natsuki said with an annoying look on her face as she flipped her hair with her right hand. "You should know the crimson eyed beauty and that orange haired one too! She has such a nice rack. Won't you let me play with one of them?"
She said with a smug look on her face.
"Wait a minute… so, what you're saying is that mutt here brought two gorgeous chicks from god know where and all you want to do is hit on them already?"
Chie did a small smile while rubbing the back of her neck.
"Geeze, what about Aoi?"
"No, you're not touching either one of them, and I mean the both of you."
"Oh come on Natsuki. Even if it's for a little bit?"
"You're not going towards them!"
"Fine. But why are you so protective towards them?"
"Don't you know who she is?"
"Um… Refresh my memory?"
"*sigh* the crimson eyed woman is Shizuru Viola and the orange haired woman is Mai Tohkia, who is her driver."
"Wow… who knew that you had in for you to kidnap the heir to the northern Kingdom. Yay for mutt here!"
"Just shut it Nao! I didn't kidnap them; they were under attack by the rusty bandits."
"Those guys again?"
Natsuki nodded her head in response, picked up her helmet and then sheathed her black sword. Look, I got to go so I'll be off. Later" While waving her hand, Natsuki walked off towards the infirmary.
