[Daryn]

this is trident clan roleplay :)
this is all that i've managed to save
i hope orion, krowdon, or some other guys can add their part into it soon :)

Summary: by firetooth i believe
Well, the first character is Daryn, who leads a troupe of night hunters. They come to Ublaz, and he accepts them. The second is mine, Orion, a lone white fox who is a seer, and is also accepted. The third is Krowdon, a vampire, who is accepted. Daryn came from a temple, and is supposed to have rebelled against brook, whoever that is. Apparently Krowdon betrayed the rebellion to brook, who drove them from the temple. Orion and Krowdon have met, and Orion cast Krowdon out of Volterre, Italy. (What that has to do with Redwall is beyond me) Orion and Krowdon are now fighting. So that's it, I'm looking forward to your addition.

The Night Hunters wandered the land aimlessly, looking for employment. They were no longer as powerful as they were after the execution of the God King Emperor Brook. Night Hunters used to be the highest of the high, the God King's body guard himself, but now these fearsome warriors were now reduced to nothing but unemployed mercenaries. All night hunters were schooled in the way of all weapons at the Temple-Abbey of Sancterros, fearsome warriors to the death, like the legendary Spartans.
The cold night was freezing and froze on the whiskers of the grizzled snow leopard as dew drops on the prow of the ship. He was missing his right eye and a mangled leg, trophies from the battle of the Sanctuary, where he, the leader of the rebelling Night Hunter group against Brook, had fought valiantly in a narrow corridor where numbers count for nothing. There, he had lost his eye to a lucky sword swing and the use of his leg to a javelin.
"Lord Daryn!" a fellow Night Hunter cried. "A storm is coming..."
"Yes I know, Morvatiust," Daryn sighed as he limped to the starboard side of his ship, the Poseidon, facing the oncoming storm. "Pray to Zakarum that this leaky bucket will survive."
The storm battered the ship with hurricane winds as streaks of lightning from the fury of Thunder God Zeus himself blazed across the skies. Rain lashed the ocean, pelting fur slick against skin.
After the horrid night, Lord Daryn found himself watching an island in the distance, upon it. The ship was definitely blown off course from their original destination of Mossflower Country.
Battered and weary, the Night Hunters trudged up to the shores carrying their weapons in case of a hostile welcoming. They were greeted by an entourage of Trident Rats.
"Name yourself!" the lead trident rat commanded.
Daryn did nothing but take the metal mask, symbol of the Night Hunters, and put it over his face. "Hedgehog formation!" he called over his shoulder. The Night Hunters suddenly, interlocked their shields and poked their long spears through the gaps.
"They are Night Hunters!" a trident rat gasped. The rest of the rats became panicky.
Daryn smiled from the behind the mask. His single eye glinted with amusement from the darkness behind it. "We are Night Hunters! Reaper of Souls! Scythes on the wheat field of war!"
Behind the leopard, the Night Hunters cried out their war cry.
The lead Trident Rat stepped forward. "Come, we will take you to our emperor and see if you might serve him."
And so the group trekked toward the castle or palace.
Emperor Ublaz sat on his throne. The pine marten glared at the storm battered figures of the Night Hunters. "Who are these mongrels that come begging on my steps, Firetooth?"
Ublaz hissed with an air of distaste.
A few of the Trident Guard shifted uneasily as he said the insult.
Suddenly, there was a hiss and a thonk. Emperor sprang aside just in time to find a spear pinning his royal cloak to the ground.
"We do not take insults easily, Emperor, but we wish to serve you for shelter and food," Daryn hissed back as he took of the mask.
Ublaz ripped the ripped the spear out of his cloak and pointed it at Daryn's exposed throat. "You shall die in agony for an attempted murder of the Emperor."
Daryn was emotionless. "If you kill me, my Night Hunters will have no mercy upon your army, or anyone who is in this palace, in fact, your majesty. You, Mad-eyes, will be nothing but a carcass left out for the sun to bleach your bones and Eaters of the Dead to feast upon your flesh."
Ublaz backed away smiling, a plan forming inside his evil brain. "Night Hunters, eh? How would you like to work for me putting down the rebellion of corsairs?"
"We will do it as long as we get shelter and food," Daryn replied coolly.
"Very well then," Ublaz smiled. "Firetooth, take our newcomers to the Freebooter, kill the captains, and see how our guests would do against the corsairs."
"Yes, your majesty," Firetooth bowed and did as he was told.
The Trident rats slaughtered the captains, bringing down the Corsairs down from the hills in a swarm.
"Trident Rats! Night Hunters!" Firetooth roared. "Take to the opening in the cliffs!"
Ublaz had dispatched an army of no more than a hundred against the corsair thousands. Firetooth was wise, and he lead all of them to a place where the army could easily kill many of the corsairs.
"They will all funnel into the opening and then we can hold them back!" Firetooth yelled to Daryn.
Daryn nodded. He signaled the Night Hunters to do as they were told. "Let us take the first wave, Lord Firetooth!"
"Yes!"
"Bull's head Formation!" Daryn roared to his Night Hunters. They held the shield out protecting their torso and left the spears peaking over the tops.
"Give them nothing, but take from them everything!" Daryn roared.
The corsairs smashed into the shields of the Night Hunters like two bulls locking horns.
Suddenly, the Night Hunters smited the enemy back and easily destroyed the first wave of enemies.
"Retreat corsairs!" the corsair leader, a tall fox, roared.
Daryn smiled. He knew that the fox was realizing the superior disciplined fighting skills of the Night Hunters to the disorganized rabble of Corsairs.
Firetooth smiled with approval. "You are truly great warriors. I have a proposition for you."

And so it continues

*some quotes are from 300 where Leonidas says the "give them nothing but take from them everything!"

After the battle, a lone ship approached the docks. A single masted schooner, it was amazing that it had gotten across the wild sea. A black sail hung from the mast, decorated by stars. Firetooth signaled to the night hunters.
"Bring the owner of that ship to me. He shall pay for the insolence he shows, sailing into the harbor with his flag still flying. He must know that all flags must be taken down to the might of emperor Ulblaz." Lord Daryn frowned.
"Perhaps he will resist. We might be forced to take desperate measures." Firetooth walked back to the throne room.
"It might be necessary."

The night hunters strode toward the docks, weapons bristling from hands, tails, and between teeth. A they neared the dock; they noticed a fire was burning on the ship. What was strange was that it was pure white, then green, then a red hot yellow. A figure was standing next to the fire, throwing handfuls of dust onto it. Daryn blinked. Then he regained his composure and marched up to the end of the dock.
"His majesty, the mighty Emperor Ublaz, requests an audience with you."
The figure turned, and the night hunters gave a gasp. The fox was snow white, with flecks of black hair all around his body. He was not old, and he looked sturdy enough to hold a ship on course. His only garments were a black tunic and a hooded cloak. He jumped off the ship, landing on two feet on the dock. He started walking toward the fortress. The night hunters caught up with him. Daryn barred his way with a spear.
"You had better not be running away. You wouldn't get far; the corsairs in the hills would pick the meat of your bones."
The strange fox looked Daryn in the eye. They were a deep brown, but as Daryn stared into them, he felt them change. They swirled around, tuning green, yellow, and blue, like the colors of the fire. Daryn felt himself drop the spear, and then it was over. The white fox turned away and started walking again. Daryn shook himself, and then seeing the look on the rest of the night hunters, barked out.
"Huh, he wasn't worth the trouble."

Firetooth saw the fox enter the courtyard and called the guards. Daryn whispered to Firetooth, and after a moment, beckoned them toward the throne room door. Ulblaz sat on his throne, drinking from a goblet made of a rat skull covered in gold. He looked up at the footsteps, and seeing the newcomer, beckoned a servant to take the drink.
"So, we have received many newcomers this season. First the night hunters, and now you. What can you offer me?"
The fox blinked. Then he spoke in a voice as gentle as silk, but as hard as steel.
"I am a seer."
Ulblaz chuckled.
"I do not believe in such foolishness. There is no such thing as a seer. But come, enlighten me, what is your name?"
The fox spoke one one word.
"Orion."
"Well, Orion, perhaps you would be better put tending to the fish at the bottom of the sea. Guards! Take him away!"
An eager guard rushed at Orion, but before he got there, Orion flicked his finger toward the guard's throat, and the guard lay motionless on the floor.
Orion looked at Ulblaz.
"I would reconsider."
Ulblaz covered his surprise with a laugh.
"Very well, Orion. You are now part of my army." I hope you serve me well."
Orion smiled back, and that smile told it all.
"As do I."

The large, nameless ship sailed unnoticed into the dark harbor. The waves made no sound as they washed over the hull. If anyone were around to watch, they would have seen the crew roving silently around the decks. The ship pulled right up to the beach and stuck into the sand. The ship's Captain was a large, black furred fox in a long, flowing black robe. His overly large fangs glistened in the moonlight.With the wave of one paw; he motioned for his bodyguards to join him. Then, he jumped over the edge of the boat, landing in the sand with hardly a sound. His two bodyguards followed him, trekking quickly across the sands.
When the trio arrived at the castle gate, they were stopped by the Trident Guard. "Who are ye?" the bolder of the two said. The Captain just grinned at them, exposing his long canines. The two rats began to tremble. There was something about the fox that made them uncomfortable. The Bodyguards snickered at the rat's discomfort. The Captain silenced them with a raise of his paw. He then turned his attention back to the rats. "I demand to be let in to this castle." The smaller Trident guard shook his head. "Sorry. No one is allowed in unless they work for the---"he was suddenly cut off as the Captain leapt at him. His shriek was cut off as the fangs of the black fox sunk deep into his neck. The other guard tried to run but the one of the Bodyguards got him. As soon as the rat's body was drained of blood, the Captain let it drop to the ground. He waited patiently as his guard finished off the other one then, proceeded to enter the castle.

Once inside the main gate, they were surrounded by Night Hunters. The Night Hunters gave a cry of shock as an invisible force pushed them away from the Captain and his Guards. Try as they might, the Night Hunters could not get anywhere near the Fox. They could only stand in stunned silence as the trio stalked silently into the main hall of the castle.

Word had somehow spread of the mysterious Black Fox making his way towards Emperor Ublaz's private Quarters so The Emperor, Firetooth and Daryn were prepared when the three strangers made their way into the room.
The Emperor looked over the three figures, sizing them up if it were to become a fight. The other Fox stared back menacingly into Ublaz's eyes. The Emperor cleared his throat to speak. "Well, isn't this nice. More Newcomers. There has been so many this season. And yet, you are perhaps the strangest of all. Coming here out of nowhere, keeping My Trident rats away from you with some form of Magic." The Emperors eyes sparkled with a sort of longing, like he desired what this stranger could do. "Tell me, what your name is and what services you could offer." The Fox stared into Ublaz's eyes, showing no fear at the emperor. When the fox did speak, his voice was soft and smooth. "I am Krowdon. I hail from Volterra Italy, and was a valued member of the Volturi, but I am no longer part of that life. I have set out on my own and wish to offer my services to you. For a price." He grinned at Ublaz. "And what is that price?" The Emperor Prompted. Krowdon motioned at the two guards behind him. "My crew and I, we are different than your people. We do not eat. We do not sleep. We do not age. And I will tell you why this is. You see, each member in my crew, we are the Immortal. Blood Suckers. Cold ones. But many people would call us Vampires." Ublaz's face fell a little at this comment but nodded for Krowdon to continue. "So all I, and my crew, demand is blood. If you can supply this, we will willingly offer you our services." Ublaz seemed to ponder this a moment. "Fair enough. How many people do you have serving under you?" Krowdon thought a moment. "About fifty. It's a small amount compared to what I had in Volterra." Ublaz nodded. "Very well. Your men may come ashore and take up quarters here. But remember, cross me and I will slay you. Krowdon nodded and swept out of the room.

Krowdon was in his quarters, when a light filled the room. A fox was suddenly next to him. They faced each other, polar opposites. Orion spoke first.
"You should not have come. I drove you out of Volterra, and I will drive you from here."
Krowdon grinned, showing his over sized canines.
"I chose to leave. And now I will suck you dry. The emperor will fall, and I will claim this island for my own. Not even the night hunters shall stop me. You speak of driving me out? I was the one who betrayed them to Brooks!"
Orion smiled back, but it was not a smile of evil.
"This banter must stop. You know one of us will not leave this island. I have seen it in the stars."
Krowdon scoffed.
"You and the stars. Even your name betrays you weakness!"
Orion swirled his cloak away from his body, revealing a long, thin, sword with pearls set in the hilt. Krowdon in turn grabbed a double-bladed axe from the fire side.
"This ends here!"

Krowdon tensed to swing at Orion but the white fox sensed his intentions and materialized behind Krowdon. Krowdon swore loudly. He had forgotten his opponents advantage. Orion Slashed at Krowdons back with his sword, but the steel had no effect against the hard skin of a vampire. Krowdon laughed at Orions attempt to hurt him. He spun around and looked Orion in the eyes. "Your weapon has no effect against a Vampire. There are few ways to kill us. Go figure it out." Krowdon walked swiftly out of the room, Leaving Orion in shock.

((Ooh, this looks interesting. Although, I'm not sure where Quixote could come in...besides, it seems like Ublaz is getting tired of newcomers or something.))

((Hm...I am thinking that...Ublaz may get more visitors anyways.))

*Meanwhile, around the docks...*

There were several of the balingers, but it was only a galleon and one of said balingers that actually stopped in the docks; the others were out at sea, hard to see in the night but ready to come in if they got the word. The two ships had their flags down, but the name Night Cat could be seen, carved into the bow of the galleon. The crews could be seen moving about, making sure that the two ships would stay in their places until it was time to go. If one were close enough, it could be seen that the crews were comprised mainly of stoats.

A wildcat, a wolf, and a few of these stoats came down onto the dock, heading toward the castle. The wildcat had a jet-black pelt, and his azure eyes were darting around, reassuring himself that there were no traps or hidden enemies. He wore a deep-blue tunic, and two sheathes could be seen hanging criss-cross from his back, holding the two katanas that he carried around with him. The only adornments were sapphires set in the pommels, one per pommel. It could be somewhat difficult to spot this wildcat in the dark.

This wildcat was the commander of those that traveled on the ships that had arrived just now. Despite this, he didn't really go for a lot of decorations, since they could sometimes weigh a weapon down.

The wolf that strode alongside the wildcat had a smoky grey pelt, and his eyes, green and piercing, glistened in the torchlight about the outer walls. He had on a dark-green tunic, and a longsword could be seen hanging in its sheath, which hung from his belt. A single emerald, set in the pommel of his sword, was the only adornment.

The wolf preferred a longsword to katanas; one thing that his commander allowed, since he was the wildcat's second-in-command. The wildcat allowed anybeast under his command that held a position of authority to carry their preferred weapon(s). The rest of the soldiers, however, were equipped with katanas; the escorting stoats could be seen carrying these, encased in their sheathes.

This small group came up to the gates and stood, waiting for the 'welcoming party'.

((If there's anything wrong with this, you can tell me.))

[Daryn]

Daryn narrowed his eyes at the newcomers. "More newcomers?"
Ublaz peered out the window, and nodded. "Aye. 'Tis a wildcat. Hardly many seen around these seasons. Lask Frildur, take half-score monitors and Daryn take half-score. Bring them into the castle."
Daryn and Lask nodded and left to do their master's bidding.
Daryn never liked Lask. The great lizard seemed to cruel in his perspective. The snow leopard had seen the monitor general roasting a sea rat alive for "rusty cutlass." He decided to get rid of the lizard then.
The party met the ship Night Cat at the harbor.
