Start Ups The PokeKnights: The Shadow of King Har

[lucarioknight56]

OoC: Yes, it is now time for the start of this RP. Oh, and the name of my character's sword, the character being Conner, is 'Eterna', showing his eternal quest as a PokeKnight.

Castle Blizzarsh was certainly described by its name. The harsh, cold weather was preferred by the queen, Ilia the Froslass. Only her fellow Ice-Type servants stayed up Mount Faen with Her Majesty. Most of the peasants of her castle stayed down at the base of the mountain, where the weather was much warmer.

Today was a day of celebration, with the queen having her birthday today. With her sensitive body, she usually stayed up Mount Faen for her life. But this was the one day she would come down from the mountain, and let the city see her. Thankfully, it was a breezy day, and she would not suffer much from the heat.

One of the protectors of the queen this year was Sir Conner, and his steed Jard, with his friend Historius. They felt honored to serve this queen in such a way. Conner was one of the most trusted knights, and could always be depended on. But the best reason why is because of King Har was still out there, waiting to overthrow the kingdoms. All were afraid of the Zoroark.

The Knights' duties today was to accompany the queen and make sure none get close enough to harm her. Of course, this included going up to the castle on top of Mount Faen. So right now, the Lucario, Chatot, and Rapidash were all freezing their tails off.

Historius was especially worse off, as he wasn't settled on a nice, warm Fire-Type, but instead on the shoulder of a Steel-Type on a Rapidash who was toasty. "Why must you torcher me so Conner! Birds may have feathers, but that doesn't mean this one is warm!", Historius complained. He was quivering from the cold.

"Don't worry Historius. As soon as Ilia enters her carriage we can go down the mountain. You too Jard.", Conner responded. Jard snorted afterwards.

"Easy for you to say! I don't feel the fire of my mane. I feel exactly as Historius does: cold, shivering, and annoyed! When will she come out?", Jard complained. Yes, despite the fact he was a Fire-Type, he couldn't easily keep himself warm. And he couldn't make a fire for himself, as the inhabitants of the castle would think he was trying to ruin their home.

Conner just shook his head. "Why must you two complain? In any case, if you can't stop talking in the cold, who knows how much self control you have!", Conner said. Historius ruffled his feathers at the comment.

"Self control? I'll show self--", Historius yelled before being cut off y the trumpets. The queen was now coming out of her castle. A Pokémon in the back of the crowd surrounding the gate signaled others around the castle with a plume of smoke. The other Pokémon from his group were ready. The Assassins of Har were here with a job. A job to eliminate royalty.

OoC: In case some were not aware, this takes place on a peak of a high mountain. The castle is in good condition despite the weather. There is only a castle, with no village surrounding it. Happy role playing!

Clayton had journeyed far enough. He came to see Her Majesty, taking a glance at his steed Torque before glancing back to the Noibat Kronos on his shoulder. "We're here, guys." he replied to them, venturing forth.

A certain Feraligatr had found his way to the village at the base, his overgrown Steed's heart hammering. The journey from Johto had been nonetheless tiring.

A young Pikachu shivered in the cold, moving around to keep warm, thankful of the fact that he was able to be near his master, a powerful fire type. They were in the village at the base of the mountain, where the queen would present herself for her birthday.

Caro looked around at the villagers surrounding them, trying to find a reason as to why they were here. Kryus had been very vague as to what there mission was, only that they had to be at this spot on this day. Caro looked up at the Charizard, who had been very still since they arrived, only moving his head to check the surrounding perimeter. He was waiting for something.

“Stop fidgeting.”

Startled out of his reverie, he looked up questioningly at the much larger Charizard.

“You'll waste energy you'll need later.” Kryus elaborated, but said nothing more.

Caro looked up, scowling at Kryus. There had better be an important reason to be all the way out in Sinnoh of all places.

Seeing his apprentice's expression, Kryus snorted, and lowered his tail. He didn't want the Pikachu to freeze after all.

Ilia was a beautiful Froslass, even more so than most of her kind. With her pure white skin, not even the blue portions were on her, and her purple ribbon around her waist. There was also a coat of frost that surrounded her and the ground she floated above. It really was hard to imagine this being 53 years old. After her parents died when she was 12, she has kept the throne under working order.

The main reason she stays hidden from the world everyday but her birthday was because of King Har. Ilia is the main supplier of Ice-Type troops, the perfect counter against Har's choice of Dragons. But besides this, Ilia is very sensitive to the heat of the world below. She must constantly remain cold, or else she could die. To counter this, Ilia and her servants designed a special coach which can travel down the mountain and can keep the cold in for 24 hours. If the coach was sabotaged for longer than that, she could not survive for more than a few minutes.

Conner was in charge of coach safety, to make sure no one gets in the coach, and that there are no traps from Har. Conner was a good choice for this job. His Aura abilities could detect almost anything, and could not be fooled. But even the best of warriors can be deceived.

"She is so beautiful...", Jard mumbled. He was in some sort of trance if you looked at him. Conner sighed, and slapped him. He immediately woke up, and was paying attention.

"Keep your guard up Jard. The slightest mistake could make her lose her life.", Conner warned. Jard snorted as the queen made it into her coach. When it started to move through the winds of Abomasnows trailing behind her, Conner, Jard, and Historius followed.

"Do you think there are assassins here today?", Historius questioned. Conner nodded his head slowly.

Conner responded, "Undoubtedly Historius. Undoubtedly."
