    Private Tales The March of Progress

    The shot didn't miss. Time seemed to slow. The world itself seemed to stall out. The air calmed. The wind didn't rustle. As the arrow loosed itself from Ahsoka's bow it soared through the air. A flicker ran over it's length, and then with pin point precision it landed directly in the King's...

    Private Tales The March of Progress

    Vass wondered if he had ever been this close to a King before. He was pretty sure that the answer was no, but he couldn't have answered truthfully if pressed. "I believe..." He cleared his throat. "I believe some of the Red Hundred might be plotting against you sire." The King seemed to let...

    "Neither do I." Vass said quietly, though he knew it didn't much matter. They had one shot, one small chance to perhaps save thousands of lives. If that meant he had to risk his? Well then who was he to be selfish about this. A shrug rolled over his shoulders as Ahsoka pulled herself up and...

    Vass glanced at her for a moment. The irony of her not wanting him to walk into danger was not lost on that moment. He might have teased her about it if she wasn't entirely correct. By doing this he was essentially sticking his neck into a guillotine. Yet he didn't see many other options...

    For a minute Vass didn't say anything. He simply watched the tent in silence. Causing a distraction was certainly a choice, and maybe not the worst one, but it would almost immediately make everyone and everything in the camp go on high alert. They would have people tense, on the lookout, and...

    "Most of them don't have a choice." He commented quietly. Arenholm was a democracy, or rather, it claimed to be one. There was no King that ran the city, but instead a doge who ruled over the place. He was elected by the city council, who themselves were elected...though there were dubious...

    Vass glanced over towards Ahsoka. He wasn't entirely sure how she knew...maybe some trick that she had, but he only nodded and stepped a bit closer to her as he whispered. "The King has ten court mages." The Red Hundred had been informed of them, or rather, the Commander had dug it out of the...

    Vass stripped only his shirt off, deciding that more than that probably wouldn't be necessary. He would have just worn his Red Hundred uniform, but they weren't allowed this deep inside of the camp. Someone would likely call him out if he went running around in that thing, so it was best to try...

    Vass shot her a flat look. "Yes, way." The Mercenary insisted. "This will work better than skulking through the camp." He had no doubt that she could manage most of the way, but as soon as they got closer to the inner encampment things would change. Torches would be everywhere, soldiers...

    Vass didn't object as he was lead around the side of the Camp. Unsurprisingly, it was the portion that wasn't watched by the Red Hundred. "Alright, follow me from here on out." He told her. The last time she had done this they hadn't been spotted save for a quick eye, but this time they...

    "Oh it'll be done properly." Vass said as he hefted the crossbow which was now slung over his shoulder. "I might not be one for running through the jungle." The Human admitted. "Nor crashing gracefully into rapids." She was of course, totally right. His body still felt like it had been...

    Vass let out a slight chuckle as Ahsoka objected, but he said nothing as the mercenary continued to explain. "If you're careful you can avoid them all together, there's patrols on the east and west side, but they don't, seem all that bothered by the north." A slow nod tipped his head. "We'll...

    Vass nodded. Ahsoka was eager to get going, and he could well understand that. The task ahead of them wouldn't be an easy one. Yet before they left, the mercenary opened his mouth again. He glanced around at the group. "Right...anyone have a crossbow?" The answer he received was more silent...

    A shrug rolled over his shoulders. "Managed to sneak up on you well enough." Vass reminded her, though he didn't mean it as an insult. There was no doubt that killing the King...no, Assassinating him would be hard, but he was up for it. The Commander stared at him for a moment, as if he were...

    The words died down once more, a view glances were shared, then eyes turned towards the Commander. A frown pulled across the man's face, his own gaze flickering towards Vass. He seemed to assess the boy, considering something in the back of his head. The young mercenary himself seemed to...
