Swordhaven
appearing inside the castle i looked around to see a gigantic statue of a stone dragon on a mountain peak, roaring into the air "so lifelike" i said forgetting the fact that the only dragons I've seen were cgi made
a knight approached me "hero, we've been expecting you, come, the king awaits your arrival he said with a flinch as if stung with pain
[Sir Junn lvl 37]
[Knight of the Pactagonal Table]
[HP 4500/5010 ]{injured}
he guided me inside the massive castle that were decorated with banners of a golden door knocker as the symbol where two huge staircases lead to a golden door decorated with golden wyrms facing outwards swirling around golden pillars that joined in the middle to hold up a golden crown
'wow, this place is just so golden'
i couldnt help but take in everything as i went inside, a throne similarly decorated like the door stood in the middle of the room a large symbol of a amphiptere , much like the outside the pillars here also each had the banner of a golden door knocker. two Pactagonal knights stood alert next to the king who leaned back in his throne casually holding a war mace more than half his size up with a hand
[King Alteon lvl 40/???]
[HP: 49,805/???????]
the king stood up revealing his royal blue robes that fluttered every carelessly only to gain more attention to his golden armor he wore underneath it with a joyful laugh he greeted me
"hero, welcome to sword haven I'm Alteon, King of Swordhaven, I commend you for your assistance in helping us recover them and take them to the infirmary. Mayhap someday in the future we will be able to cleanse them of that vile taint, please do ask me of any request you nay have so that i may reward you"
"your highness, empress gravelyn sent me to redeem her father's Unlife Insurance. o would be more than happy if you can point me towards where i can find Baron Bayconn" i said as humbly as i can, knowing more than to be unruly and worsen the relations between the two opposing factions
"Young gravelyn.." Alteon looked me with a complicated expression "very well, Sir unknown shall guide you to him, he should be in the castle somewhere"
sir unknown guided me to a large room where a small pig in noble clothes and a cape sat at a table counting gold coins greedily "Two for the treasury, one for me… one for the treasury, two for me" upon noticing out arrival it coughs "What? What is it? Can't you see I'm busy here?" it angrily says. sir unknown stepped back letting me talk to the swine
[Baron Bayconn lvl 7]
[Swordhaven Treasurer]
[HP 650/650 ]
" i am Vas, under the order of her empress have come to redeem her father's Unlife Insurance" i knew what was going to happen so i readied myself
"An insurance policy? An UNLIFE insurance policy? I've only ever done one of these and it was for Sepulchure and he'll never die!"
"He DID die, ask King Alteon if you don't believe me" i retorted expecting him to blow up right after
"No, no way. This was such a sure thing that he was insured for ONE TRILLION GOLD! If you think I'm paying this out, you've got another thing coming. GUARDS!" he clapped his hooves on the table summoning 6 guards to rush in.
Sir unknown didn't have time to ready himself before getting knocked out with a heavy hit to the back of his head
"you better surrender, anything that happens to sir unknown will be blamed upon you and you know what would happen to this temporary peace between our factions then, your little empress will be crushed before she can even solidify her position at her throne" with two guards holding up sir unknown with a blade to his throat the pig threatened knowing he was safe
[Private Mercenary lvl 15]
[HP 720/720 ]
knowing there was little i could do i raised my arms in surrender letting the sickle fall from my hand " Good, now take them to the dungeon...leave sir unknown here I'll figure out a way to permanently circumvent the need to give this insurance" the pig snorted out with a squeal of laughter
i was promptly tied up in ropes and escorted to the treasurer's private dungeon
Prison
a broken down place, thats all i could explain it as, rats made it their home, the sinks are falling apart, the prisoners gone mad. luckily the guards untied me before locking me up in the dingy cell
the pig approached the bar as he happily squealed "oh i know exactly how to circumvent giving your little insurance boy, you are going to be my bait, I'll get your little empress to show up to bail you and bam, i got myself a new slave AND favor of everyone else competing for her daddy's throne"
"you think she would come for me, im not even an important part of the empire" i retorted angrily
he snorted out " what can she do anyways i got her only supporter that's able to leave their post, she would have no choice if she ever wants the support of her army, not to mention she is very beautiful... i cant wait to... " he starts to salivate uncontrollably as he started his muttering " oh and the gold i can get from selling her i bet she would be the..."
'he clearly doesn't know who her mother was, or that alteon would never let it happen' i could only smirk internally at his last words i could catch as i went upto the prison bars, holding the door with one hand while the pig continued his rant i took out a blue tiberium crystal from my inventory, nicked a small shard of it using a red tiberium piece and shoved it inside the lock. finally heading towards the nearly broke wall i forcefully took out a piece of rockand threw it at the lock hitting it, exploding the door and opening it
"SQUEAL" the pig squealed in surprise and horror, the guards realizing their weapons were useless in this situation where everyone was crowded in a small area thre them away as they readied their swords
"you are in trouble now piggy" i formed gauntlets on my arms each spiked at the knuckles, a dark red forming around as light bounced from my tiberium as it covered more and more of my body, covering both my arms in armor.
"Im gonna turn YOU TO BACON"
