Fields of Athenry (closed RP, PM me if you want in

[Hanzo Zhou]

Hanzo looking over a beautiful plain shouted to his troop of fifty.

"Men, Oni, and demon alike! We fought for the beautiful Fields of Athenry once. And yes, they are beautiful, but also full of death. Those that want to take the land back stay. Those that do not can leave, I will understand."

None of Hanzo's troop moved an inch.

"Good rest for a week, then we will move out!"

The troop cheered, for once again they will have their mouth's full with blood . . . and honor.

[Kaida NyteClaw]

Standing on the hill overlooking the enormous field that set before him, Masahiro noted that something great was going to happen here on this very field. Seeing an ole friend of his, Masahiro knew he had taught his pupil well enough to make his own decisions. But to his surprise there was no fear within Hanzo's facial expressions.

Masahiro smiled slightly, before bringing forth his Ravenwood Staff. Noting the size of Hanzo's Army, masahiro knew that his pupil once again needed training. So before the opposing force arrived, masahiro had told them to watch as he sent illusions before the Great Hanzo in hopes of teaching his pupil once again a thing or two.

Men of Giant proportion stood tall and clad in Black Armor blazoned with Red Dragon emblems on their shields and banners. Slowly marching out to the field they went, ready for battle, standing motionless and fearless like mindless warriors of the night. The Leader raised his Halberd high in the air and yelled a warcry, "Tempai!"

With this warcry, the black armored foes charged forward towards the demons.

[Hanzo Zhou]

Hanzo looking up from eating some food, throws his food down and yells, "To your feet! We have warriors coming!" His troops rashed to get their weapons. After they all had their weapons they lined up behind Hanzo. Hanzo turned to his troops. "Today man we fight for honor!" Hanzo said rising his short spear. He then ran towards the enemy warriors and his troops did the some without showing any fear.

[Giggles "Adguin"]

A Fallen looked on at the sight.
"Hmmmm.....Let's see whats going on....."
With that he planted a undead cicada on one of the soldiers following the half demon. He awaited to hear from it.

[Kaida NyteClaw]

Seeing that the illusion was somewhat working, Masahiro then cast another illusion overhead and as all looked on dark clouds moved in and started to storm and lighten everything, it was dark and dreary and lightning was all over the place. The leader of the illusionary army glowed a little as it looked like he cast this spell overhead.

"To Battle Men!!!", Yelled the Commander, "Dont let them breathe another second of air!"

[Hanzo Zhou]

After Hanzo killed one of Masahiro's warrior, he looked up. "The rain . . . Man fight today with honor and you will get women tomorrow!" All of the army cheered to fought a little harder.

[Kaida NyteClaw]

The Black Armoured Warriors clung together shields up and holding formation as they marched and fought, slaying one after another of the demons. Black Armoured Archers clung to the back of the field letting loose round after round of arrows.

Bear-like animals ran right in and started biting and clawing everything on the opposing force.

The rain got heavier as it fell and now you could lightly hear a chink off the armour where salt hits.

[Hanzo Zhou]

Hanzo looked around to see that he had only ten men left. "Men the rain rust their armour. Fall back we must to win this battle. Then we will wait for them not to move and attack the weak spots." The men did what Hanzo said without question.

[Kaida NyteClaw]

Seeing that the demon spawn were retreating back as the rain fell harder and harder, the leader of the black armour clad army signaled to his flag bearers to send in the cavalry. The beating of hooves on the soil and rock could be heard but 10 feet behind the demons.

The riders rode faster and faster until the riders surrounded the demons pointing their spears at them and ready to strike.

"Halt!", said the commander as he met up with the riders and faced his opponents. Smiling he let me walk right up next to him and I smiled to Hanzo as I saw him among his army.

"Nice to see my apprentice is getting his workout!", Masahiro said. He clapped his hands and all of the opposing army vanished right before Hanzo's eyes and the wounds of his men were instantly healed as if nothing had happened. The rain subsided.

"Your men were only stunned and never died, you passed my test, Hanzo-san.", I said as I bowed to my young apprentice.

[Bha'allack]

Overlooking this open plained terrain, Bha'allack judges all that just happened. He turns around face covered so the sun and wind wouldnt hit his face, he strode off into the mists.

[Hanzo Zhou]

Hanzo, catching his breathe, says "What test?"

[Kaida NyteClaw]

Chuckling Masahiro patted his apprentice on the back before saying," Even when the odds are against you, you can always fall back to regroup. And also that even when you have been captured it is proper to still show honor and dignity whether you are being treated fairly or not."

Nodding his head in approval, Masahiro gave a scroll to his apprentice.

"Study this ancient scroll, within it lies the true meaning of honor!"

[Hanzo Zhou]

Hanzo upped the scroll. He undone it all the way to see that only peoples' name was on the scroll. "So, you gave me a scroll with someones name? Where is the honor in see a name of someone that died?" Hanzo throw the scroll to the ground.

[Hanzo Zhou]

Hanzo looked up to see Marahiro was gone. "Just like a elf to leave when I talk." Hanzo went back to camp with his troops. When they all got to the camp Hanzo heard what sounded like a female screaming. Hanzo run as fast as he could to find it was Yuuma, an incubus.

((OOC: an incubus is a demon from japan that rapes females in their sleep.))

Hanzo garbed Yuuma and shook him. "Demon what in world is your problem!"

Yuuma said "There was a bug on me!!"

Hanzo looked at the sky and reach to garb something fly away. Hanzo looked at it. After a long look Hanzo said "It is an undead cicada. Which means Giles was or still is here. And Yuuma you are my best warrior. You would run into a fight even if you knew there was a 1/9000 chance of living, but yet you are always afraid of bugs?"

Yuuma stood in place shaking.

[Giggles "Adguin"]

"Crap!" was all the Fallen could say. Of the one soldier he planted the bug on he'd choose the one who's afraid of them!

Well no point in hiding anymore I guess.

With that he disappeared into the earth and reappeared behind Hanzo.
"Well, since you know about the bugs, I take it you must know the master. So, are you a friend or a foe of the Master?"
He looked at him with killing intent.

[Hanzo Zhou]

"Neither." Hanzo walk back to camp, and Giles followed. "I am more like a freelancer. As long as I can with these lands in peace I will be a friend to all, but no people keep taking it cause of its beauty. So, it is more like, is the Master helping me or hurting me?" Hanzo sat down near the fire that somewhat stayed aflame in the rain. He motioned for Giles to sit.

[Giggles "Adguin"]

The Fallen took his seat next to him, he showed only a moment hesitation at sitting next to the burning flame. "I'm not Giles, I'm one of his Lieutenants. The Master is Giles, and he wants peace as well. Look at these lands. They are a strife with pain and hate. Why is that do yo think? He figured it out a long while ago.
"The conflict of wills! Everyone here wants what someone else has. Everyone hates others for being different. But if all were reborn under one will, wanting for nothing but what life demands. Can you imagine that. No strife, no pain, no war! The lands them selves will be reborn to peace! That is what the master wants and he's willing to let others share in that peace. As long as they are useful to him and help him with his goal."
He looks at the fire with only a slight look of fear in his eyes. He then looks back at Hanzo.
"So, what say you?"

[Hanzo Zhou]

"I am sorry about that, I never seen Giles before, or his troops. And sharing peace is what I want as well. So, yes I will join him. As long as I can command my own troops f those, umm, Fallen I think is what it is called, about 120 troops is what I need. I will send Yuuma with you. For if the answer is no, he will fight for honor and to the death. *under breathe* As long as the bugs stay off him." Hanzo stood up and start making food for the troops. "Here even the top helps out. I cook and do what I can to help with the troops." Hanzo hand the food off to Tai, Yuuma's younger brother. "So, take Yuuma and I will wait for the answer."

[Giggles "Adguin"]

The Fallen developed a serious look on his face upon hearing his conditions.

"I can already tell you that you won't receive even one Fallen. For we are to few in number and are scattered to the lands. But I'm one of the few whom he allows to freelance for a time.
"What he can offer, and he has allowed me to offer on his behalf is this."

The Fallen snapped his fingers and the earth moved like a bubbling cauldron.

From the earth over 150 undead soldiers rose and kneeled not before the Fallen, but to Hanzo.

[Hanzo Zhou]

Hanzo laughed. "Now, not only do I have humans, demons,and half-breeds. I HAVE THE DEAD! Thank you. I would like to talk to Giles about my past Master, Masahiro. I see him as someone who will end him and I both."
Hanzo sat back down and wondered if he is going to be a king someday.
