men stand down!” Argis shouts *arrows that where removed and sheath in the leather pouches on the side of every solder.* *Argis walks over to Nicholi and Whittaker* “I was already backing out of this I heard him but, I don’t see how you did I mean you where farther back than me and I barley heard him” Argis reply to Nicholi. “Whittaker first how did you get here when Nicholi came here all he had where himself and I sent a letter so you would back out but some how you snuck behind more than 200 men and me then you criticize me revile your self hmm…” *Argis whispered to the Cornicen a few words* Argis speaks again “oh and to answer you question it shows my village one thing that this world is in need of help they where just attacked and you accuse us of fearing another possible attack! Then it is not me that is in a crazed train of thought men give aid two the two allies down there “ * points to Syrant and Thanatos* “as for me I going to see Mina on my way out I hand a few men Argis departs towards the village as a few smiths and medical aids rush towards the two men*…

Thanatos half-shrugs as the arrows are lowered, absently kicking the sphere that had been dropped to the sand back into his hand before replacing it somewhere within the depths of his overcoat.
Leisurely placing his hands behind his back he begins striding in the direction that Argis is beginning to depart to, moving swiftly past the waiting smiths and medical aids. He calls out towards the retreating form of the samurai warrior, his quiet but deathly cold tone cutting through the assorted sounds of the now-bustling villagers.
"Tell me, Argis. Why is it that you sacrifice this mission which is ultimately beneficial for all of your humanity in order to pursue a marriage that might easily have waited until this crisis had perhaps been defeated?"
Thanatos stands silently, the positioning of his body almost threatening, although he makes no attempt to reach for one of his numerous weapons. An odd one indeed...

Thanatos watches Argis neutrally as the man gives his explanation, slowly beginning to smile as Argis speaks of acting as "protector" of his village even as he abandons the outside world. The assassin does not have time for a proper rebuke, however. With the scream of the villager Thanatos' attentions instantly shift to the horizon, a part of him cursing his carelessness even as his analytical mind attempts to process exactly what it is he sees.
There is a brief glimmer of light back on the mainland, a flash that very briefly shines through the swirling clouds of sand that cover that desert land. It is obviously something metallic, but not even his mind is able to react fast enough to catch a clear view before the thing vanishes. The screaming witness has evidently seen much more of it, but Thanatos quickly comes to the conclusion that questioning him would provide fruitless at best.
It will be investigated soon enough...
Thanatos instead bows courteously as Argis finishes his explanation, the slightest hints of a smile touching his lips. He appears to have suffered a sudden change of "heart"--reached a decision which would customarily be against even his most deeply-rooted inclinations.
He will leave the illogical as it stands.
The man turns away from Argis, gazing once more at the desert where he caught a glimpse of the thing truly foreign, speaking as he does so.
"When might the ceremonies commence, former comrade?"

Nicholi follows Argis and the others to the location of the distressed cry. They come to face a man slumped on the ground. Thanatos looks to the sky. He then turns to Nicholi and says, "I believe there is a disturbance." With a sigh he turns to his commrades and begins to speak.
"It would seem that I have less time than I thought. Argis, I'm afraid I must go now. If I remain here any longer, this village and the safety of its people would be put in danger. I leave you with my best wishes and this."
Nicholi pulls out a a sizeable chuck of Aegisite and hands it to Argis. He then turns and heads for the main gate.
"I bid you adieu Argis. If there ever comes a time were you are in need of my services you know where to find me. As for now I have some unfinished buisness to attend to. Thanatos, Syrant, and Whitakker, stay as long as you please but you must be back at my manor by nightfall. I fear that my worst nightmare is about to come true."
Nicholi walks to the shoreline were a boat awaits him. The noon sun beats down overhead on a cloudless summer day. With a heavy heart, Nicholi prepares to set off for home leaving Lone Island and the village of Kyashu behind.

*Argis bids adieu and then runs to a local blacksmith, and then hand his katana and shurrikans to him as Nicholi makes his way down the hill.**Argis then goes in to the shop to see the blacksmith throws the powder in to a pot the Aegisite it melt in to a liquid quickly. Then the smith throws the weapons in it and also throws a knife in it. The weapons are then removed and set to cool almost instantly the Aegisite hardens and, then the black smith hands the weapons over to Argis bows and pays the man. Argis runs off to see Mina Oboshi for the wedding.*

"Seeing as how I am in no mood for battle, I shall return with Nicholi. Farewell, Argis Boren."*bows*
"Until our next meeting...."
*Hurries to catch up with Nicholi*
"So, Master Nicholi, would you mind enlightening me on the battle-to-be and your aforementioned, "nightmare?"

Thanatos only nods briefly at Nicholi's words, not even bothering to watch the man leave. Whitakker's words inspire even less reaction as the assassin turns on his heel, striding swiftly into Argis' village. Unlike the rest of the alliance, which seem to already be leaving with Nicholi to prepare for whatever event lingers on the horizon, Thanatos makes use of a leisurely amount of time, spending several hours investigating every last nook and cranny of the artfully simplistic village.
The entire time he is under surveillance from warriors of the settlement, but he seems lost far too deeply in his own thought processes to bother taking the slightest notice. Finally as there appears to only be an hour or two left in the day before the sun is completely set, Thanatos makes his way to the structure in which Argis and Mina are receiving assorted blessings for their wedding the next day.
His words are short and quiet, audible only to the couple seated comfortably in the middle of the lotus-blossomed square as he swiftly maneuvers himself through the thronged crowd to stand before them.
"I would wish both bride and groom the best of luck, and offer apology for being unable to attend the event in entirety. Nevertheless, make great use of every second you have left--it should not be long before this island succumbs to the grasp of the Mass..."
And with that, he is gone. It is not so much that he moves away with any particular sort of speed, but rather that he blends in so well with the rest of the crowd, rendering him all but invisible.
Any investigation of the place where his motorbike was stationed would reveal a blank area of smoothed sand, with no prints of any sort visible. Even the slightest mark of his boots on the soft ground would have been thoroughly erased. In fact, for all intensive purposes, it would appear he had never set foot there in the first place...

Syrant says nothing as he glares the village. The site of this village reminded Syrant of his village long ago. Syrant's muscles tighten as the memories come back. Syrant turns away from the village and prepares to leave. As he prepares he thinks to himself,
"I feel for you Argis, I just hope you don't go through what I did."
With that in mind he walks up to Nicholi, waiting for everyone to get ready.

*Argis seeing that his former allies leaving to do battle with the mass he felt bad that he never got to fight one to see this opponent. For it would show quite the learning experience but then he thought of his village and, how it was removed form the list now it back on if he fights them. So he calls over his friend* “kilgo please use your power of stealth to see how my friends are doing and if you need to save one, though I doubt you will here.” *Hands 3 shurrikens to him.* “now Mina lets rap up our small party and then be prepared of the wedding . *Argis and Mina rise* “Everyone please thank you for the gifts and for coming I hope to see you there good night.” *Argis and mina legs go to attention and so does everyone else and everyone bow and shout For the good of the country and for the good of God and the power of love!” *rises from bow*…
