Covian Debris

[Jack Sinist (•̪●)]

Little did Jack know what a day it would be when he stepped up from his extra winter padded bed covering.

As he made his way up the barrack stairs leading up to the roof from something that apparently was going to be sweet, which Jack didn't know much about to begin with. Jack moved his feet into the fenced area where some watchman was leading some kind of cadre. Jack muttered something about stale and boring he leaned on his golden halberd he received from his mother in a birthday gift. After awhile of taunting the woman in charge Corporal Raiden snapped at him, for reasons unknown Jack respect the man in gold arms and did as he was told.

Jack stood staring up at the cold clear blue sky as the watchman's tender voice kept jabbering on in that kind of way Jack found extra annoying, when people where trying to lecture him. Cold and rather weak winds struck his face as he stood and gazed up at the sky, he felt something weird.. something he hadn't felt in a long time; a weird calm. This was weird from a man that seeks nothing but misery and evil in belief of gaining power. It was almost like this feeling that came over him made him think about his actions he made in life, and if it all was really worth it and really was necessary, maybe it was best to start all ov..

Jack woke up from his pleasant feeling when receiving a quick blow from both Hoagie and a recruit named Xander and was forced out of his peaceful thoughts and into a defensive stance to avoid getting trashed to the ground.

After the cadre had ended Jack went outside to have a word with the recruit. There was something dodgy about this recruit as he laughed his whole way down the stairs and kept laughing as Jack delivered a threat straight to his face, the recruit then left as Jack was in the middle of a sentence. Such lack of discipline he thought, obviously not considering his own lack of it earlier that day. He then confronted the recruit inside the empty barrack room. Jack quickly swept his mace and swung it over his head against the recruits head, the recruit had apparently been a great super warrior from some place else recruited to Cove as he didn't flinch and took every attack Jack delivered against him, they stood there a while exchanging blows when Corporal Scout Mela entered the room from downstairs and suddenly without hesitation ordered the arrest of Jack.

Taking the word of a recruit over a junior he thought, how dare she! Has she no sense for rank what so ever?!
It angered Jack something greatly when the guards did as she told. He gritted his teeth and made his way down to the dungeons. After a while in the cell and a discussion with Demarian who made himself out to be a friend of his uncle he was taken out of the cells and who did he see there.. the half decaying elf by the name of Delcarakdur. Jack as most of his blood related ones, hate elves and want nothing else then to see them burn, this may be the outmost thing that made him feel compasion with most covian citizens, an ill feeling around the elven race.

They led him into the torture chamber and Delcarakdur had a wide smirk on his face, he continued to smirk all the way inside where he cracked the whip against the floor as Jack seated himself on the cold stone chair inside. Jack crossed his arms as he looked with a calm expression at the elf. He was convinced he wouldn't do it, he was convinced they wouldn't try to hurt Jack. After all, he IS the nephew of the commander of Cove! Surely they wouldn't jeopardise their career like that! Especially Raiden which he oddly had some sense of respect for, how wrong he was.. Delcarakdur snapped the whip against his head; Jack reacted and threw himself to the side as quickly he could, although not quick enough as his armour got a tiny mark on it.

Jack was shocked, what was going. How dare they do this to him.. TO HIM! Jack needed little time to decide it would not be wise to stay in the rat infested dungeon any longer; he calmly stood up then as fast as he could ran for the door between an unprepared Hoagie and Delcarakdur.

It did not take long before most of the awake militia was after him. He continued to run and run, forced himself to run. He could simply not take such humiliation, like he was some kind of common guard!

The hunt kept on for quiet some while, Jack decided it was time to fulfil his sacrifice. Jack took his right glove off as he kept running; Jack increased his phase as he breathed heavily in and out. He took his amulet out and looked at it for a second.. it had to be done. Dark thoughts ran through his mind as he touched the amulet, almost like he couldn't control himself as well anymore. He shook his head and tried to focus, he took a bite on his right thumb and closed his eyes as he ran his thumb across the amulet as he murmured to himself;

"Ir denjic, mnošudacij. bunji Syu.. šuš, bunjači! Come forth!"

He stumbled and fell over the muddy forest ground.. he rubbed his face once and looked up from lying on the ground. As his eyes made their way up from the ground, a pair of decayed heavy boots could be seen. Jack's eyes opened widely as he made his way up the character in front of him. Huge white bone like things sprung up from the boots.. Jack stared with big eyes as he gulped hard. The broad shoulder like bones of the skeleton terrified Jack. This skeleton looked nothing like the other ones, the other skeletons scared Jack as well but this was something totally different..

The empty eye sockets stared at Jack, who was frozen with fright. The ex-overlord Caggun let a terrifying roar out that echoed throughout the forest, making nearby birds fly in all directions, animals flee as their life was depending on it.

"What called mighty Caggun?"

Jack couldn't move a muscle, even less the ones in his mouth. He just kept staring. The huge skeleton cared little as he raised his massive axe against Jack and swung it against him. Jack reacted like automatic and drew out his amulet while closing his eyes as if waiting for his life to end.

Caggun stopped his axe in mid air as he cackled madly and spoke with loud voice.

"Called by weak flessshbag! Funny.. mussst tell sssilly mare when home in cryptss!"

The skeleton continued to laugh towards the sky as a tear dripped down from Jack's face and he smiled to himself and thought..

"Saved.."


Hours later a crow landed beneath Jacks feet as he sat panting on the ground. The undead had been beaten back after a lot of effort and joined effort from the guards of Cove, even so seeking help from such a horrible beast was not the wisest thing to do, a lot of damaged had been done to both military men as to buildings.

Jack opened the letter the crow carried with it. Jack then made his way towards the barracks where everyone was waiting..

[Xander Laedon]

ruckus sat calmly on the roof of his new home. A night of events had passed and he too was exhausted along with the rest of the Covian army.

One of his idols, a grenadier, was demoted right before his eyes. Undead fighting along side the Commanders nephew, attacking Covian soldiers. And a favour nephew getting off scott free after all the reckus he had caused.

He placed his hands behind his end and interlocked his fingers. Thinking back to the cadre, he didn't understand what had gone wrong.

"Target Jack" He heard Eve command during her Cadre. Xander, an outstanding recruit, responded to the order and attacked Jack along with Hoagie. He stepped off, and Hoagie finished Jack. He wasn't quite sure if he targetted Jack because of the order, or more so because he was fed up with his attitude all night. Lack of respect for Mela during warm up, lack of respect towards Eve during her cadre, and a lack of respect towards women in the Covian army.

After cadre Xander sat calmly in the barracks hall. Jack strolled up behind him and asked if he could have a word with the recruit. After acting oblivious, Xander followed him outside.

"If you ever touch me again recruit, I will kill you. Do you understand me?" Jack starred hard at the recruit.

Before he could stop himself, Xander laughed out loud. "Was simply following orders." He assumed the conversation was over and walked back up the stairs to the barracks. Jack quickly followed in his pursuit. Xander heard the door slam open and turned abruptly. Jack gripped his mace tightly.

"Don't ever walk away from me." he stated.

"Assumed the conversation was over." Xander replied.

Quickly Jack swung at him. The recruit wasn't too sure what to do, he had no weapon, not even a helmet on. Xander took one blow, Jack missed the next. Quickly the recruit armed his weapon and disarmed the Junior. Blow by the blow, the two connected. Xander was a well trained fencer, taught by the soldiers of Britain, and Jack was the commanders nephew. The recruit taunted Jack, knowing the junior wouldn't come out the superior in the quarrel.

Mela came into the room and immediately command the two to stop. Xander quickly backed away, not wanting to stir up anymore trouble. He explained the situation to Mela, and Jack was arrested.

Later on, after Jack was placed on Jail, Xander returned to cove to see several soldiers chasing the Junior around.

"wha' 'appene'?" Xander asked.

"He got out!" someone yelled.

Quickly Xander joined Hoagie and the rest of his superiors in the chase. Suddenly he was caught by a blow. He turned and saw a familiar undead face, the two began to fight.

After a while roughly three undead raided Cove, helping Jack battle the Covian soldiers. A while longer and the undead were taken care of and only Jack was still running around. He heard Jack scoff at the undead, so Xander assumed that Jack wasn't helping the undead, but the undead merely started attacking the Covian soldiers at the same time.

Later on, just before Vince's hunt, is when it all broke out. A fight between Jack and Delc lead to Delc ignoring commands from the Baron and the Commander. He was quickly demoted, and Jack got off "scott free", with a warning from the Baron.

The night finally came to an end, and every citizen of Cove, including the soldiers, were exhausted.

[Delcarakdur]

The masked figure stood before the Cell door for a moment...just returning the curious stare of Delcarakdur, imprisoned inside. Suddenly the elf started smiling and nodded slightly to the axe-wielding figure in front of him...

Steppping back calmly, Delc watched as the masked figure struck twice against the lock of the cell door, finally bursting the door open.

Steppping out into freedom, Delcarakdur stood a moment in front of the silent figure. Tipping is cap respectfully and saying in a flowing language:
Diola Ile mellonamin, Diola Ile...
Delcarakdur began striding up the stairs quickly...


The sharp sound of metal against metal can be heard trough the barracks...

All that is left in the now utterly quiet and deserted dungeon is the broken cell door...

[OOC: After one and a half year I feel that Delc needs a good long time away from it all...It was truely an honor...Now please don't spam this thread, use it rather to express your Character's thoughts and stories related to this episode.]

[Raiden Morana]

Raiden leaned against the parade ground fence as Eve lined them all up for her Cadre. She was closing in on her Watchman's requirements and would hopefully be a Junior Guardsman soon. Then she would face her Grenadier Trials!

His apprentice always seemed to encourage a good turn out, he wondered why with a wry smile.

Tyrael another of Raiden's apprenticese was in the line up he too was working hard towards Junior Guardsman and wait, Raiden could hardly believe it... Sinist, his longest serving apprentice was in the line up too. Damn he should be a Regular Guardsman by now.

"A Cadre? Permissions to be dismissed, Thank ye!" Jack gave Watchman Eve short shrift as he left the parade ground. He made to lean against the fence too.

"Jack! Get back in there ye lazeh bugger" Raiden called. Sinist straightened to attention then slumped slightly as he re-entered the parade ground muttering.

Sinist, Raiden thought was in one of his more eccentric moods this eve and to give her her dues the Watchman checked his kit and picked him up on the condition of his sash and kilt, which needed a damn good wash. That's it lass don't let the bugger intimidate yer. Even Mela who had now joined Raiden as an observer commented that Eve would make a fine Grenadier if she passed her trials and Raiden was inclined to agree with her.

The cadre was finishing up and Jack was turning into an itch that could not be scratched. He ended up getting knocked from his feet as the cadre covered target practice. Raiden chuckled quietly to himself as Sinist dusted himself off but he caught the look in Jack's eye and new trouble might follow.


The cadre done, guardsmen made their way about their business. Still on the rooftop Raiden congratulated Eve on a job well done and had words of encouragement too for his other apprentice Tyrael. As he bid them a good night he turned to the stairs and could hear the tell tale clank of sword on shield coming from below.

He entered the guardsman's quarters to find Sinist and the recruit Xander locked in combat.

"CEASE!" He bellowed. "If ye want ter duel take it to the rooftop." They had already knocked over a bowl of potatoes and Raiden hated to see good food go to waste.

At this point Mela intervened. "Arrest him!" She pointed at jack. But he would not yield and clattered into Hoagie as he made to grab him.

"Jack disarm!" Ordered Raiden and his apprentice did so reluctantly.


Hoagie and Raiden marched him to the cells where they were joined by two Grenadiers, Demarian and Delcarakdur.

Demarian tried to talk some sense into the fuming Sinist but to no avail and then Jack proceeded to hurl abuse at Corporal Mela.

"Enough! To the interrogation room with him. We'll beat some discipline into him." Raiden called, outraged at the tirade Jack had launched at Mela.

Delc', Hoagie and Raiden followed Jack inside and tried one last time to reason with him but his mind was set and thus Regular Grenadier Delcarakdur reached for a whip.

That was enough of an opening for Jack to burst past the elf and Hoagie and make his dash for freedom.


His jailers gave chase along with the few guardsmen who were still milling about, but Jack was too whick for them and made good his escape.

Raiden muttered as he made his way home... There would have to be another flogging it would seem. First his friend Kurt and now it would seem his apprentice Jack Sinist.

[Khaelieth]

Khaelieth once again snuck inside the Covian dungeon. He walked over to the cell which his cousin had been in. Slinking away once more, he wondered where he would go. Certainly not the Wildwood.
