Marie scowled deeply, straightening her back. "What are you doing to my people?" She asked, voice full of edges. Her eyes were narrowed at the figures who were threatening her citizens.

The Gemini Knights did not answer, rather they just turned to the royals. Their movements seemed a bit inhuman.
“Queen, be careful, I don’t sense a fleshy feeling from them… they could just be hungry spirits“ he claimed, his blade going up in blue smoke.
"I don't care what they are," Marie growled, eyes focused on the knights. "All I care about is why they are hurting my citizens." Marie's eyes had an animalistic glint, one only the people she's tortured know.

“That I know, I’m just telling you to be careful…” Alucard mumbled to himself before he started to charge against the Gemini Knight who was closer to him rather than the one by Marie.
Slashing his sword sideways, attempting to slice the Knight’s helm from his body resulted in the Knight ducking and punching the king’s stomach, breaking two—no, three—pairs of ribs and piercing the royal’s torso with the blades on their heavy gloves.
The king jumped back, landed beside Marie as he grunted. His right hand still holding onto his blade while his left touched his bleeding stomach.
“Perhaps they’re looking for spirits to eat… similar to us in Phastia… though they seem to feast on innocent souls…” he mentioned. The royals of Phastia had the ability to sense souls’ intent by just getting a glimpse of their scent.
"Would any type of poison pierce them if they're spirits?" She asked with a grunt, ducking in to stab between a chink in the armor of the other knight, she escaped the hit with only a shallow wound on her cheek.

“Any type of neural damaging poison should do” Alucard gave as his body started to heal itself from the inside out. He looked up and blocked the attack from the knight just in time before it had reached him.
Marie coughed. "Alright." She muttered, dancing out of the way as she uncapped another bottle with her teeth, pouring it all over the already coated knife. "This should work if what you said is true…"
group
“It works for the majority of them, I’m sure about that—“ Alucard confirmed, parrying the Knight who charged him before kicking the possessed armor away from himself.
God damnit, why can’t I get a single opening here…
Marie stabbed into the area between the helmet and the armor of the knight, managing to at least draw some blood. The knife was coated enough that any cuts it made, the poision would get into the bloodstream.
group
The Gemini knight Marie slashed was screaming in pain before the very essence of the knight evaporated, leaving only the pieces of armor on the ground.
Alucard smiled sinisterly when he saw that.
In that case…
He opened his hand and aimed at the other Gemini Knight. He motioned backwards with his arm, pulling out the Gemini’s spirit and leaving the pieces of armor on the ground as well.
Marie sighed with relief. "Alright, now that that's out of the way." She coughed, a bit of blood coming up. That wasn't unusual, the entire royal family had this condition. They're bodies held too much blood and so they'd cough up blood. "The poison I used paralyzes the brain's function."
group
Alucard nodded, limping himself to the other Gemini Knight and absorbed the rest of the essence inside the armor.
“Great… I’m gonna have to find a doctor after this…” he looked down at the cut and wound he got.
Isaac’s horse slowed down once they got into the other Kingdom’s area. It was quiet, peaceful, almost dreamlike with the trees and the misty environment.
“Here we are… Kintopra” Isaac mentioned to Lucisan as the horse moved slowly down the road.
"I think we both do." She hummed, shaking her head and walked to the citizens and the dead guard. "Are you alright?" Marie asked the citizens. "We're going to get you home alright…"

"So… What are we doing here?"

Alucard had a smile on his face when he saw how caring Marie was. He walked to stand beside her.
“I’ll have my knights carry them if they can’t move easily” he suggested.
“Finding a man named Shayne, apparently my father called him ‘The Immortal Knight’… he’s also the man who’s the leader of the ‘Silverwings’” Isaac answered as the horse jogged into the thicker mists of the kingdom.
Marie hummed, helping a citizen up. "I should be able to get them home. My citizens are strong." She said proudly, helping the others up. "They'll find their way up to the castle and I'll take care of the dead."

Luc raised an eyebrow but thought for a moment. "Silverwings… Assassins? They sound like assassins." He muttered under his breath, squinting into the mist before giving up and turning his attention back to Isaac.
(Hey, wanna revive this?)
group
(Yeahhhh… though there is a problem. Some characters I’ve used in here—i.e. Alucard and Isaac—have kinda changed so if you wanna revive this as well, we might have to restart the whole thing. That, and the fact that the kingdoms I used to have were kinda scrapped except for Phastia. I apologize if that is an inconvenience.)
(Not at all, I just missed rping with you! I'd love to re-start it)
group
(In that case, when you start the new one, tag me in :D)
(Can do!)
