Lucius was pretty accustomed with running from people... And by people, he means his sister. She was a scary woman, even if she was three years younger than him. When his parents left them five years ago to help rebuild and defend a town recently victim to a tragic fire, they left him to take care of her. Little old Luci obviously wanted to be the best possible brother ever, and make young Udia practically worship him. You know what happened? She ended up being the one mothering him, so that plan was a total flop. People jokingly began to ask which was was really the older sister.

This didn't stop him from being overprotective of course. The girl was pretty. Long fiery red hair, bright green eyes, fair skin, tall, petite. The list went on. This meant that quite a few boys and men chased after her, and quite a few men would end up needing medical attention after a little... 'accident'. None of them really were severely hurt, but they sure kept their distance fro the lovely lass afterwards.

What they didn't know was that Udia, despite her beautiful appearance, was a bit of a tom boy and a hot head (no pun intended). Before their parents left, she decided that she would takeover the blacksmith store. This also meant she was taught how to forge armour and weapons. She herself was as tough as steel. She had a great deal of strength, and wasn't afraid to use it. Unfortunately, she had a short temper. A really short temper. It was quite common to see Lucius knocked out on the floor if he forgot to grab a deer leg like she asked him.

Despite all this, Lucius still loved her. That's why he was running to the store. He managed to loose the guards, but he didn't know for how long, and running wouldn't be an option for much longer. It's not like he had an endless supply of stamina after all. Stamina was always his weak point.

To have your brother, who is still meant to be at the castle, suddenly burst in and barricade the doors and shut all the windows was obviously a huge shock. She could only stare silently with wide eyes at first. When she came to her sense she took of her boot and threw it at his head

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING DUMBASS!" She screeched. You could almost see the imaginary fire burning around her. He gulped nervously, rubbing the top of his head.

"Funny story actually... well, uh... the um, queen... she kinda wants me to rot in the dungeons" he chuckled nervously. Her jaw dropped and her eye twitched

"Um, I'll be leaving this town, so I'm gonna need a sword..." he added. She sighed angrily and went searching in the back, and he followed behind her.

"I swear to God Luci, you have to be the worst possible knight in existence. What the hell happened" she growled.

"Overheard somme weird stuff in the courtroom" was all he said. She sighed, pulling out a small sack before tossing it at his face.

"It's enchanted. You can fit almost anything in there" she explained as she picked up a large sword and inspected it. Udia placed it. In his hands

"And theres the sword you wanted. Be thankful I'm giving this to you for free. That ones new" she said crossing her arms. He frowned and hugged her tightly.

"Im gonna miss you Udie!' He sobbed... minus the actual tears.

"Ew. Get off me" she hissed, slipping out of his grasp. She opened the door and glanced at the door.

"Get going then! You don't want the guards catching you, do you?" She huffed. He smiled and pet her head (much to her annoyance) before walking out the door.

"Thanks a bunch. I owe you one" he called out, before he set off, making sure to stay unseen. He needed somewhere to go now. Only one place came to mind. The village his parents currently resided. He honestly didn't know any other safe place. The town was decently small, and the folks there were nice. He didn't have much of a choice, so off he set. Who knows what may happen now.

He reached the entrance to the woods that the place was in the middle of. Lucius drew his sword out when he entered. He didn't know what might attack him while he walked along, so best be prepared. Of course, he wasn't really prepared to get his sword snatched right out of his hands.

"Well what do we have here?"
