Andia: The Revolution

[Duh]

Spoiler:

Nothing much has happened since you were gone. LtGt and King A just did some sappy stuff. That's all.

You must report to the One's tent to speak with the rebel officers.

[Eltee]

Aarys and Valentin arrived at the One's tent. "You wanted to speak with us?" She asked politely, sticking her head through the tentflap.

[Leyyuce]

"Well," Peter slid his rifle's sling gently across his shoulder so that the efficient weapon sat in its usual position.

"We should head down at once, Hremai. We wouldn't wish to have the One waiting for us all morning."

[JVElEven]

"He can wait till he shrivel's up," Hremai muttered, but nevertheless got up and began walking towards the One's tent.

[Kerr]

Gladro walked towards the one's tent.

[Duh]

Twelve officers were sitting in a circle within the tent. The One was at the center. "Please," he said to Aarys and Valentin as they entered. "Sit."

[Eltee]

Aarys cautiously sat down. "What's... What's going on?" She asked.

[Duh]

"You are being relocated." the One replied.

[JVElEven]

Hremai appeared in the tent, ranting quietly to herself, not aware of the fact that she had left Peter behind.

"So what it is? Another bogus assignment?" she asked in a challenging tone, glaring at everyone present.

[Eltee]

"...Reassigned? Where"

[Duh]

"Please sit, Hremai." the One replied. "As you may have heard from Aarys here, the eight of you are being 'reassigned'. You will be sent to the tropical regions of the east - a place called Rona Beach. It is one of the safest pieces of land in that area of the continent."

[Eltee]

Aarys had fully and completely expected anything other than that. "...The tropics? A particularly peaceful part of the tropics? In the east, as far away from damn Empire City as possible?" She laughed nervously. "What's the catch?"

[King Acunasti]

"Ooh, the tropics..." Valentin whispered, sitting behind Aarys with his hands squeezing her shoulders. "I bet we could have fun there, couldn't we?"

[Eltee]

Aarys laughed. "Yeah, swimming and stuff!"

Spoiler:

Time for Aars to misinterpret stuff for a change. See how Val likes it.

[King Acunasti]

Spoiler:

"And other things..." Valentin let out a low and extremely quiet chuckle, kissing the back of her head and smelling her hair.

[Eltee]

"We are standing in front of the most respected elder in all of Andia, as well as most of our commanding officers, and you're talking to me about the dirty we'll do in the tropics and kissing my neck. Right in front of them. I really don't think you could embarrass me more if you made a concentrated effort, Val." Aarys muttered angrily.

[King Acunasti]

Valentin grinned and gently covered her mouth. "Shh..." he whispered. "You're making it worse, babe."

[Eltee]

Aarys pulled his hand away angrily. "Shut up, please!" She looked around at the One and the officers. "I am so sorry."

[King Acunasti]

Valentin raised his hands in the air, not knowing what he had done. "Okay..." he mumbled.

[Duh]

Spoiler:

This might be my last post, as I might be kicked out in a few minutes. Let's see what happens.

The One frowned, his eyes shifting from Aarys to Valentin. "As I was saying, we have information gathered from the conquered Immortal Commission Army stronghold that suggests either Tormen or Lucrenda may be present within that region of Andia. That is why you are being sent there."

[Eltee]

"Oh. Okay." Aarys said, calming down slightly. She glanced apologetically at Valentin. "It would be great to finally be able to show they are killable after all."

[Duh]

"Hopefully, the task will be completed within twenty-four months. But you will find the living standards at the beach to be much higher than those you have experience here. For starters, you will be given small houses on the actual beach in place of tents. In addition, there will be a greater amount of music and celebration created by the natives. They have a very lively culture."

"But these thigns are not meant to distract any of you." an officer inturrupted. "You are to focus on the task at hand."

[Eltee]

"Of course not! Sir!" Aarys said, a strange mix of red-faced embarrassment, anger and happy excitement on her face.

[Duh]

"Good." The One nodded in approval. "Each of you have the rest of the day and night to prepare yourselves. You will leave camp at exactly 6 o'clock tomorrow morning. That being said, all of you are free to go."

One of the officers then shook his head. "Except Hremai." he said. "She must stay. We must speak with her."

[Eltee]

Walking out of the tent, Aarys tapped Hremai's shoulder. "Good luck!" She whispered. Once outside she turned to Valentin. "Sorry for overreacting." She said.
