Imperialism

Nyir tensed. She had suspected for a while that someone was following them, but she was never sure. "Spy?" She questioned.

Azalea hugged the puppy close, laughter bubbling in her throat, but paused at Orion’s cold voice.
“A spy…?” she murmured before hsr eyes widened in alarm. Could it be one of Therion’s men, sent to capture her? If that was the case… then Therion would know of Azalea’s plan…

Scanning the trees, the Ghost speaks again. Voice commanding and low, sending shivers down the spines of those present. "Reveal yourself. I will not ask again."

Really?….Hmm he's smarter then he looks. She thought to herself. Instead of revealing herself, she stayed put in her tree. Nope, it's too early. I will come back though. She instead turned and ran through the treetops, making no sound and trace like she was ever there like a shadow. Might as well go spy on the command camp for awhile. She heard faint yells behind her, but she was already gone.
(Please keep Zoe anonymous until the last warrior or when you would really need her. It would actually be great for the plot, I think. Thank you.)

(Okay we can do that. I would just like to point out that the warriors wouldn't like being spied on, at least the Ghost wouldn't. It is likely to get her injured)

Nyir frowned, her hands still on her blade even though she knew the spy was not in the near vicinity anymore. Had the spy been following them the entire way from the castle? Why hadn't they attacked yet? "We need to move, now," she commanded, her eyes narrowed.

After a last glance towards the treeline, he turns to the princess. "They have left. I feel that they will return though." Eyes clear and searching, he gives another look to the treeline. "We should be going. The creatures of these woods do not like unwelcome visitors."

Azalea nodded.
“Yes, we should move on,” she said, fumbling with her fingers but pausing when she caught a whiff of smoke. “Is that… fire?”

(Okay we can do that. I would just like to point out that the warriors wouldn't like being spied on, at least the Ghost wouldn't. It is likely to get her injured)

( What do you MEAN she'll get INJURED? Shes a warrior.)

( What do you MEAN she'll get INJURED? Shes a warrior.)

(the warriors aren't invincible, right?)

Azalea nodded.
“Yes, we should move on,” she said, fumbling with her fingers but pausing when she caught a whiff of smoke. “Is that… fire?”

Nyir sniffed the air, her brows lowering. "I smell it, too. We need to leave. Stay close, princess," she said, drawing her blade.

( No I mean it's not like Orion is gonna kill her………..right?)

(NO NO NO!! HE WONT KILL HER!! Might push her up against a tree or building though, no permanent injuries or death, just a few scratches and bruises, if that.)

Lucian tossed a bit more wood into the fire and searched through a small bag that he had next to him, observing the medical tools. He hadn’t used them since the attack, so they should be clean..

( Is your character part of the group?)

(NO NO NO!! HE WONT KILL HER!! Might push her up against a tree or building though, no permanent injuries or death, just a few scratches and bruises, if that.)

( You know what, Imma keep spying cuz that what she does and she's too smart to get caught. I don't to make her overpowered , but like she would run away before that happened.)

Orion turns to the others, following. "You are looking for warriors, yes? I keep tabs on people in the woods, there is a camp of individuals, soldiers, within them. I would recommend starting there."

Azalea nodded.
“Yes, we should move on,” she said, fumbling with her fingers but pausing when she caught a whiff of smoke. “Is that… fire?”

Nyir sniffed the air, her brows lowering. "I smell it, too. We need to leave. Stay close, princess," she said, drawing her blade.

( Fire as in the fire Zoe made when she robbed the camp and it burn't down?)

(NO NO NO!! HE WONT KILL HER!! Might push her up against a tree or building though, no permanent injuries or death, just a few scratches and bruises, if that.)

( You know what, Imma keep spying cuz that what she does and she's too smart to get caught. I don't to make her overpowered , but like she would run away before that happened.)

(Spying is fine, but Orion is very quick on his feet and would know the forest better. For now he won't give chase, as she ran off, but he is much more observant than he appears)

(I thought he was at the soldiers camp??)

( IS THIS FIRE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FROM ZOE BURNING DOWN A CAMP!?!)

(I thought it was lucas's fire?)

( I thought it was from the burning camp?)

(shrug I dunno)

( But they did say a camp of soldiers.)

Zoe cursed herself for not being more careful as she traveled through the trees. Only a little bit more. She planned on coming back to spy on the group soon, but she had to get some information about what she was dealing with. In the distance she heard people talk and shouting, so she carried her pace until she reached the edge of the forest, where a huge fortress sat. Guards infested it's walls and flags flew everywhere. At the corner of her vision, she saw a messenger who was heading towards the fortress. It might have looked impossible, but she knew that it had it's weaknesses. She snuck around, looking for a way in until she saw an open area. A balcony. It looked empty, but someone might be in there. She took her chances and scaled the stone wall, careful not to hang onto any loose bricks. Finally, when she reached it, she peeked around before being sure and climbed on in. She inspected the place and decided to smuggle some valuables. Then she listened for footsteps. There were some here and there, but not too much. She quietly opened the door a little and peeked outside. By lucky, it was the right room because this room lead into a meeting room where, the commanders were speaking including the one who lead the attack on the castle. Squeak. Another door opened and it was the messenger.
( Does anyone want to act out the meeting or should I do it?)
