Sir Brian pulled the band from his hair to allow fall to its full length.
Normally he would be clad in armour but today he was Dressed Normally as though he was going for a function or a normal gathering.
The meeting he was about to have could be described as a party in some sense, As he stood by the road tracks outside of the braunian central vehicle station in the city of beiamy just overlooking the great pinel river.
The air still hung thick and coppery as it had done back in deiamy, it didn't bother him though as he gotten used to it through the many battles he had fought before he had risen to this rank. He felt a bit bare standing there alone by the station house overlooking the river,with no weapons even though he was about to meet some of the most fearsome individuals walking the planet.
But it gave him some thrill knowing he could stand in the face of death.
It was this same arrogance and bravery that had allowed him to survive even in the most dire situations,it was this mindset that had made him confidently attack a supernatural creature capable of fighting an entire army.
Goosebumps rose on his arm everything he remembered the ordeal.
a sound in the distance called his attention, he looked up to find a large vehicle Almost 30 feet long pulling up the station, his stomach tightened a bit and he took a deep breath.
The rear door of the vehicle opened and a man walked out.
He was fat, about average in height with a very bushy red beard and a bald head. His Armour was brown With blue stripes, his eyes were red like a man who hadn't slept in many days although his gait was still very spirited as he came down from the bus smiling, off course he had 2 rifles hung over both shoulders and a crossbow on his hip.
He looked Very comical instead of threatening following behind him was another man who was much thinner but shorter, his Hair was very bushy and unkept he too wore that brown and blue armor that the first man was wearing, although his didn't seem to fit quite as well. He had a large pistol on both hips, as well as smaller crossbow hung on his shoulders.
The long vehicle Drove away as the two men walked to the station, Bryan raised his hand to them, beckoning them to him.
"Are you the captain?" The first man asked almost begrudgingly.
"Yes I most certainly am, welcome to norea and welcome to beiamy,I hope your journey wasn't that stressful Brian said"
The fat soldier let out a soft yellow before speaking in the most disorganized and whiny manner.
"Absolutely terrible, the airship that transported us from romaine to Nembakar was awfully unbalanced it kept wobbling in the air I felt like puking, secondly when we got to Nembakar the food was awful it tasted like toad's piss and rat feces and we had to sleep in a dingy old motel shack. Before cramping ourselves in that smelly bus for the past 12 hours driving here from Nembakar, I must say as a seasoned veteran and member of the Pan-Amfuan Order the norean government has not treated me well at all, I just hope that it's worth why I was summoned here"
Brian sighed before saying
"I'm sorry about that, it was all on short notice we didn't have time to prepare your transit properly, the governor just stamped the application barely a week ago"
"Well you better pray you've got a real problem here or else…" the fat man continued to say before being cut off by the second soldier who had been quiet The whole time.
"that's okay Amos, you've only been here 5 minutes and you're already trying to flame the officer, we're are your manners-he turned to Brian before saying-thank you for receiving us, I am deputy force master Jairme arnault of the 3rd regiment of the ovarm division, and this is assistant force master Paul Amos of the same regiment, both inducted members of the Pan-Amfuan Order of King thrane sent here by general mark thurbin on request by governor calvin."
"pleased to meet you officer, I'm captain Brian thorne,head of the emergency task force against insubordination in the orlovy sub region." sir Brian Said extending a handshake.
"captain? Are you sure you're the guy? You're Looking a little too young to be talking About being a captain"
The fat man said Looking him up and down.
Brian Laughed before saying.
"It's okay officer, let's not get too cordial we are here for business"
Amos grunted before shaking his head.
"Were is the castle? Can we go yet I'm hungry"
"please exercise patience we are still waiting for our associates-I think that's them by the way" Brian said as the three men turned their heads.
A boat was pulling into the dock from the river, It was not a very large boat but large enough to hold ten men.
Out of the boat stepped out 2 men.
One of them was blonde haired extremely Handsome and Well kept,his armor was neat and shiny, with silver and yellow designs. He Carried only a small pistol and short beautiful sword on his hip.
The second man was a bit of a contrast, he was extremely tall even taller than Brian He had bright red hair and a bushy beard, he was extremely muscular and scarred. On his hips were two large pistols. And On his shoulder hung the largest gun anyone south of the orlovy mountains had ever seen, it was long,silver,and had very thick and wide barrel.
When they stepped on land, Brian whistled to signal Them.
After some time they were also At the station.
"Welcome officers to beiamy, I'm captain Brian thorne, I hope you had a great trip here"
The first officer smiled and said.
"nice to meet you too, I'm baron Cowen force master, of regent hill naval division south cormec my colleague is yelna zord. Senior warrant officer from Wicklow forest division, both members of the Pan-Amfuan Order of King thrane I, sent here by vice admiral masson bowe on request by governor calvin."
"welcome officers ive been looking forward to meet you, as you can see I have two more members of the order with me, also invited by the governor"
Barron nodded his head and shook hands with sir jairme and sir Amos
Who seemed a bit standoffish despite the fact that they were all members of the order.
The giant didn't bother to join the pleasantries he simply stood and watched the ocean.
"if that will be everyone I think we should make our way to castle" Amos said scratching his beard.
"Well not quiet we still waiting for one more person"
"then where is he? Can't he keep to schedule?" barron said.
"he should have arrived I don't understand the delay"
Brian said.
But at that moment he felt a tug on his sleeve he turned around to find an extremely beautiful woman in a long purple robe standing beside him, she had long auburn hair and hazel eyes with 3 freckles on each cheek.
She seemed extremely innocent and frail.
"I'm sorry madam are you lost?"
Sir jairme said cracking a smile.
"you're being cordial deputy force master" she said.
"Who are you?" sir barron then asked.
"you know who I am" she said looking at Brian.
"are you chief force master, maxence le dwinne?" sir Brian said looking down at the list in his hand.
"pleased to meet your acquaintance she said bowing her head"
"get out of here, you're not serious" sir Amos said adjusting his rifles.
Even the giant zord who had been bothered the whole time turned to stare at her.
"members of the order come in all shapes and sizes"
She Said raising up a seal of the king to confirm her identity.
They all gasped including Brian.
Who finally Said.
"well… welcome to beiamy chief le dwinne, I hope you had a fantastic journey?"
"it was splendid" she Said.
"Okay everyone since we are all here, let me introduce myself again.
I am sir Brian thorne, and I will be your commander for this expedition. I'm aware that you guys are some of the most skilled and lethal warriors the empire has to offer thus why you are here. Comrades the threat is great and extremely menacing we have a chance to crush it now before it becomes something larger than this, I hope and believe that all your commitment will be given during the course of this expedition, if you have any questions you can ask them when we get to the castle but for now, sir quentin will take you to your various domiciles were you can rest in preparation for the journey ahead" Brian Saud just as another vehicle pulled to the station and a soldier stepped out.
"I hope there's food at the castle" sir Amos said rubbing his stomach.
"Amos control Yourself don't make. Fool of yourself" sir jairme scolded him again.
"Yes there is food at the castle I'm sure something was prepared"
Brian Said as sir quentin. Pointed them to the vehicle.
One by one the members of the order got in the vehicle before it drove off into the distance.
Brian shook his head before smiling.
"so these are the famed members of the order of king thrane, i guess I'm not so bad myself afterwards" Brian Said before chuckling.
But even as he chuckled he did not underestimate them he knew what to expect from them.
And he knew that they were needed in order to stop bravae
