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
They reached Catidal in two days and let the horses graze outside of the city.
"We all ready?" Yelena asked making sure to have everything in her pack.
Amara nodded. "Ready to kick anyone's butt who gets in my way."
Leif and Dax edged away from her, they knew she was serious and didn't to be hurt.
"Dax, you stay here with the horses. Leif, Amara you guys are with me."
They all nodded and while they were leaving Dax stopped Yelena and whispered.
"Please take care of Amara."
Yelena nodded and left.
-----
They entered Catidal and Yelena tried contact Irys.
Irys are you alright?
Yelena? Thank fate where are you?
In Catidal wondering what I can do.
Valek already has a plan.
Yelena smiled, of course Valek had a plan, after all he is the chief of security in Ixia and the best Assassin ever.
Ok, ask him if I can do anything to help.
There was a pause and Yelena could just imagine them speaking in sign language, ears were everywhere.
He says that if you can make a distraction to give us time that would be helpful.
Distraction!? That's normally Leif's job!
Yelena, Irys warned
Right right I got it, what does he want? I doubt I can get necklace snakes here. Plus even if I could I think Leif has sworn off being bait for them.
I think anything would go, ask Fisk I'm sure he would love to help.
I'm sure he would. With that Yelena broke the connection and went in search of Fisk.
-----
"Sounds like fun." Fisk grinned when he heard the challenge.
"What do you have that we can use?"
"Well I could help but-"
"It will cost me? Really Fisk that phrase is getting old."
Fisk shrugged, he only said the phrase to Yelena so it didn't really matter.
"So what's the plan?" He smirked.
Yelena unfolded her map of The Catidal and The Keep.
"Fisk I need you and your guild to be positioned near the Keep walls. When I give the signal I want you to start crowding around the gates, get the guards as pissed as possible. Amara, Leif, we will sneak in during the commotion and start getting the guards inside distracted. Especially around the entrance to the dungeon." Yelena pointed to the entrance.
"What little sister? No necklace snakes?" Leif sneered.
"Sorry to disappoint you but no." She matched the sneer.
Amara studied the map, The Keep wasn't a maze at all. She was so used to the castle in Ixia that the plainness of The Keep was shocking.
"Are we all clear on the plan?" Yelena asked.
"Yes but what about getting them out?" Amara asked.
"Valek has a plan all of his own for that."
Amara nodded. Valek always had a plan even for killing people with magic.
-----
Amara stationed herself near the keeps gate and positioned herself casually trying to make it look like she was just trying to relax.
Leif and Yelena had stationed themselves in other places and Fisk had his youngest members dress as beggars and were starting to come close to The Keep.
"Spare a copper." They begged the guards. The guards glared in return.
"Go find Fisk you filthy vermin!" The demand.
"Spare a copper." They still begged.
One of the beggars looked Amara's way and gave the thumbs up. The guards were distracted and Amara and the others will be able to sneak into The Keep.
She snuck in without a sound and found the grounds empty other then a few students rushing between buildings with their heads down.
She saw guards guarding the entrance to dungeon and grinned it was her chance to mimic Janco.
"Hey big tough guys!" She shouted at them "But you can't catch me!" She stuck her tongue out in a big teasing manner.
"Is that supposed to be a joke?" The guards exchanged a look.
"I don't know?" She shrugged "Thought you might want to catch an Ixian spy."
They snapped into action starting to attack her.
She grinned and dodged with ease cartwheeling across the grass.
"Is that the best you got? I thought southerners all had evil magic that could make them do lots of things. You guys are lame."
They growled and attacked again. She flipped over their heads and somersaulted away.
They chased her leaving the dungeon unguarded.
"Man she had all the fun." Leif complained as he neared the dungeon.
"She mimicked Janco almost perfectly." Yelena laughed.
She sobered and contacted Irys.
The dungeon is unguarded if you guys are escaping I'd do it now
-----
Irys told Valek about Yelena's report and Valek gave Ari and Janco the order.
Janco grinned and jumped up ready for action and busted his cell door open.
"You guys should let me out too, I can help!" Ulrick persisted.
"Yeah right, you would escape and go teach what you know about blood magic." Irys glared at the prisoner.
"Plus he doesn't have magic." Janco noted.
"I caught you easily enough." Ulrick smirked.
"That was with magic!" Janco growled.
They left Ulrick and raced up only to be stopped by Rubar.
"Leaving so soon?" He grinned.
Valek took his knife out and tried to attack, Rubar poured magic into the air making Valek's movements slow.
"You coward," Valek grumbled as Rubar dodged his attacks. "Fight me with out the magic."
"Now whats the fun in that?" Rubar then got an idea. He let his magic down half way letting Valek think he was getting the upper hand. He started stepping backwards up the stairs and out of the dungeon.
Of course this was right as Amara ran back into view. Rubar grinned and shot his magic to Amara feeding off of the feeling of hatred that Amara harvested for Valek.
Amara stopped running and grabbed her dagger. Valek noticed the glare she was giving him, there was pure hatred behind her violet eyes.
Valek reached slowly for his sword, slowly because the air felt like syrup to him. It couldn't have been Rubar's magic he was focusing his on Amara, so who's magic was it?
"Amara sweetheart, whats going on?" Janco started.
"Quiet Janco, I have been waiting for a chance to fight Valek, this is my chance." She lunged at Valek.
Valek dodged, barely. The air was so full of magic that he could barely move.
"I swear I'll kill you!" Amara shouted going for another attack.
Yelena saw Valek having trouble moving and stepped in to help.
"No, Yelena." Valek started "This is a fight between Amara and I, it's something I owe her."
Yelena backed down, but it took everything she could not to fight long side him.
Amara attacked again the magic in the air was growing thicker and thicker, who would be pouring so much of it into the air?
Irys touched Yelena's arm "She flaming out."
Yelena and all the masters looked at Amara now. She has magic, not only that but she is flaming out. Now that Yelena knew what was happening she could actually feel the strain on the power source.
"She......has magic?" Janco looked shocked and afriad. If Amara had magic it meant she would either be killed or forced to stay in Sitia. Either way she wouldn't be with him.
Valek was moving slower and slower as Amara used more and more magic. Some how Valek got a hit in and it was powerful enough to knock her out. the magic in the air evaporated and Amara fell to the ground. No one moved anything but their heads right towards Rubar.
Leif and Yelena stepped forward, it was time for them to get their revenge.
Rubar stepped back and started to run but the dungeon door swung and hit him in the face.
Cahil closed the door to show himself behind it. "A little unorthadox but it works." He shrugged.
"Told you it would." Valek panted.
"Wait. You two...." Yelena got confused at the thought of the two men working together.
"We knew he would run with his attention on us and wouldn't noticed the door or anyone behind it. Simple plan, Valek came up with it." Irys explained.
The guards were called to carry Rubar to the dungeon and everyone then turned their attention to Amara who was still passed out on the ground.
"Is she going to be ok?" Janco asked.
"I'm sure she will be Janco. She's still breathing but then again, she has been through a lot." Yelena started. "We'll just have to see."
-----
Three days later the council was showing signs of them coming out of Rubar's spell and everything was returning to normal; except the fact that Amara wouldn't wake up.
Janco actually started to beg Yelena to reach for her soul like she had with The Commander, Tula, and so many others. Even Dax had started to ask her to.
Yelena finally agreed and started to probe Amara's mind.
"Amara!?" She called and some how found herself in the soldier's training area back in Ixia.
Nobody was there but Amara, she was attacking fake enemies with her sword and just kept practicing.
"Amara." Yelena said quietly.
Amara dropped her sword startled then turned towards Yelena and glared. "This is your fault! I would still be in Ixia if I hadn't of thought you were someone worth saving."
"From what Valek told me you insisted on coming."
"That's because I thought that maybe I could help someone once in my life instead of just practicing. Plus I always knew that I had magic I thought that if I came to Sitia and revealed it hear I could stay here. But then of course I had to fall in love with Janco and want to hide it so I could stay with him. Just look how well that worked! I flamed out and now everyone knows!"
"Not to mention you tried to kill Valek."
"I've been training to do that my whole life." Amara rolled her eyes. "Rubar just brought the hatred for him in my heart out."
"Come back."
"Why? For Janco to hate me for having magic? For me to live my life in hatred? Why should I come back?"
"Janco, loves you. Trust me when I say you've changed him. Also you have no reason to hate Valek."
"He killed my uncle!"
"Not really."
"What?"
"Ever wonder why Dax looks so much like your father? Their twins."
Amara let all her defenses drop, her uncle was alive? Her uncle was alive?! Her uncle was ALIVE!
"Fine I'll come back." She almost smiled.
-----
"Amara!" Janco wrapped her in a hug the second she sat up.
"Hey there Janco, miss me?" She smiled warmly.
"Did I ever!"
They sat there for a while catching up, Janco told her about what happened after she passed out and what Valek decided to do with her.
"He's letting me go? He's not going to kill me?"1
"He doesn't see you as a threat to him. Plus as long as your on Sitian soil your safe."
"Wh....what about us?"
Janco tried his best to smile "I can always come and visit." He brightened up "Heck, if Yelena and Valek can stay togather then you and I can right!"
Amara grinned, "Your right. So when are you all leaving?"
"Tonight, can you walk?"
"Yes why?"
"Can you fight?"
"Yes."
"Good come on." He helped her out of bed and led her to the soldier barrack's training yard which was empty at this time of night.
Yelena, Valek, Ari, and Dax were waiting for them.
"Janco?" Amara looked at her boyfriend when Ari tossed her a bow staff. "What's going on."
"I wouldn't ask him, this was my idea." Valek stepped forward carrying his own bow. "Let's see if you were winning because of you magic or if it was your skills."
"You know it was my skill." Amara taunted swining her bow. Thus the fight began, no magic, no dirty tricks, and no actual killing. Just a group of friends watching a battle that had taken so long to finally happen.
There you have it, the end. This story wasn't one of my better ones but Amara had been in my head for so long that I had to write a story about her. The part about her falling in love with Janco was just me being an obssesed fan girl.
