Fuji: I ain't calling you that.
Decado: We'll see. You know how the saying goes... when in Falena, do as the Falenian do...
Fuji: I'm still not calling you that. We ain't in Falena.... In fact, why the heck are we here?? All I can see is desert... more desert... and ohhh wait, to the north... more desert.
Decado: This is my home. There is something I must attend to.
Fuji: Let me re-phrase. Why the heck am I here?
Decado: You'll see.
Fuji mumbled something inappropriate as the two mercenaries continued on. They traveled north east until eventually they could see what looked like a city. As they approached Decado filled Fuji in on the historical importance of the city. Mar-Uruk as it was known was famous on this land for many qualities, all of which seemed to indicate that it was a gift from the gods, at least that was the belief of the locals
Shortly upon entering the city a very large man, strong and tall approached.
Large man: Greetings Master Decado. I am pleased to see you are looking well. It has been many years, though I wish we could meet under different circumstances.
*the sound of Fuji's sword being unsheathed slowly could be heard*
The large man swiftly takes the initiative!
The large man shifts into duel mode ATTACK!
The large man is protected by Earth Magic!
Decado shifts into duel mode DEFENSE!
---=<[Round 1]>=---
The large man tries to deliver a CRITICAL hit!
Decado perfectly defends against the powerful attack, taking only 1 point of damage!

The large man perfectly defends against the powerful attack, taking only 1 point of damage!
Large man: *grins* it is good to see you haven't neglected your training.
Decado: *turns to Fuji* This is Lugalbanda, he was my.... protector when we were younger.
Fuji: *subtly re-sheathes his sword* Ahhh, I see.
Lugalbanda: *glances at Fuji then back at Decado* It's good you brought him.
Decado: You think it will be that bad?
Lugalbanda: *nods* It always is. Come, this way.
Lugalbanda led Decado and Fuji into a large temple in the centre of the city. It was still night so there wasn't much activity within the temple. It didn't take long until Lugalbanda led them into a long hallway with a room at the very end. Two guards stood outside of the room while another patrolled the hallway.
Once inside the three began discussion regarding what was to come and only then did Fuji get an inkling as to what was really going on. Surprised to say the least, he finally understood his role in all this.
In the next morning...
Lugalbanda, Decado and Fuji walked into what appeared to be the largest room in the temple. Many clerics kneeled in prayer, candles were burning and at the centre of the room, a large bed shrouded in silks preventing anyone from seeing inside. Quickly, an elderly gentlemen who had been staring at Fuji since the three entered approached obviously not pleased.
Elderly gentlemen: This is Blasphemy!! A foreigner cannot enter our master's chamber. It is forbidden!
Decado: He is here at my request. He will stand near the doorway with Lugalbanda.
Elderly gentlemen: *glaring still at Fuji* We do not approve of this.
The elderly gentlemen walked off obviously miffed at the presence of Fuji but realizing he was unable to do anything about it. Decado walked closer leaving Lugalbanda and Fuji near the doorway. He approached the centre of the room where the large bed was and slowly pushed the silk to the side. Decado disappeared from Fuji's sight behind the silk shroud.
Fuji: *turns to Lugalbanda and spoke very quietly* What's inside there?
Lugalbanda: His father lies dead there. I believe the term King or Ruler is the term you are familiar with? To us, he was our Kaiser.
Fuji: So Decado really was his son?
Lugalbanda: His youngest son.
Fuji: Shouldn't the oldest have succeeded?
Lugalbanda: Perhaps in your culture. In ours, the successor is chosen by God. My old Kaiser saw a vision and in that vision, his youngest, the man you know as Decado was to come to power. The 7 Clerics of As-Samawat also shared this vision. This vision was many years ago. He was sent abroad not only to learn about the world, but also for his protection.
Many agreed with Decado's ascension as he was the most capable and honourable. However there are a small number of clerics who side with Jafar, the elder son.
Soft muttering could be heard from the large bed. The clerics began to repeat the same line over and over as it became louder and louder. The rising crescendo filled the room until all that could be heard was from the clerics gathered there. Then, there was utter silence...
Out of the corner of his eye Fuji could see two clerics circling the room. He looked to Lugalbanda who simply nodded. Fuji circled around to the back where the two clerics were also heading. Quietly he took position just in front of them and to the side.
Elderly gentlemen: Decado, we the 7 Clerics of the As-Samawat confirm and recognize the divine spirit within you. We the 7 Clerics of the As-Samawat see the hand of God within you! We, the 7 Clerics of the As-Samawat declare you Kaiser of Nagarea!!!
Decado stepped out from the silken shroud around the bed. Immediately one of the two clerics that Fuji was watching began walking towardes the centre of the bed. All that could be heard was a swishing sound as though a gust of wind had come through. A glimmer of light caused by a sword reflecting the candle light caught most of the clerics eye. Fuji continued his followthrough bringing his sword back up to the neck of second cleric he had been watching and held it there. The first cleric who had approached Decado took another step however his legs gave way. He collapsed to the ground as his white robe was began turning red.
Initial shock subsided as the other clerics in the room realized what was going on. Lugalbanda siezed the man with a sword at his neck, bound him and began walking towards the door. It all happened so fast that nobody had said a word.
Young girl: It is time. He approaches from the north. Eresh should meet his force outside the Great Walls.
Lugalbanda: I will take this assassin for questioning. Eresh... Fuji, watch after our Kaiser.
With Lugalbanda's forceful arm he led the captured assassin out of the room. Decado quickly motioned for Fuji and Eresh to follow him. They ran out of the temple and rallied what little soldiers they could in such short time to a location just outside the Great Walls of Uruk. Once there they could see what appeared to be a sandstorm approaching.
Eresh: They approach. Fuji and Eresh will meet them first. Kaiser your brother will be there. Are you ready for this?
Decado: Of course
[Nagarea (Decado) vs Nagarea (Jafar) at Mar-Uruk]
Nagarea (Decado) forces engage Nagarea (Jafar) forces on the vast plains of Mar-Uruk
Troops on both sides let out a warcry!
Nagarea (Decado)
Fuji: Okay, uh, I'm lost. I'm angry. And I'm armed.
Eresh: ...

Satai: You practice oppression, allow me to relieve you of your power

Satai: Ugh.
Fuji: You can see the weakness of a man through his iris.
Fuji's regiment wins!
Lugalbanda held the assassin by the arm firmly while walking through the halls of the temple. Instead of taking him to the holding area he instead took him to the walls of the city.
Lugalbanda: I can see you are no common assassin. I need you to see something.

Eresh: ...
Eresh's regiment wins!
Standing on top of the Great Walls two figures could be seen silouetted.
Lugalbanda: Look at this, assassin. Look at who our God supports? The battle should have been lost, we were outflanked and outnumbered yet we prevail.
Assassin: ...
Lugalbanda: The Kaiser is not without mercy. As our God has done to many of us, he too will forgive your transgression.
Assassin: ...
Lugalbanda: The Captain of our local police force will find us here soon. They have orders to take you to our prison and kill you in front of the other prisoners as an example. Bound as you are, I doubt even you will be able to last long. I wish to offer you the chance to join us. My Kaiser will need strong and talented men such as yourself. He will...
Law enforcement officer: Lugalbanda, where are you taking this man?
The Law enforcement officer approached cautiously. The assassin had his back turned to him staring at Lugalbanda. Lugalbanda stared right back hoping, waiting for a response. It seemed to take forever but finally, the assassin nodded his head.
Lugalbanda: This is the man who tipped us off about the assassin. It was because of him we caught the assassin!
Law enforcement officer: Oh.... *cautiously stared at the back of the assassin* I see.

With the battle over and the remanents of the attacking force scattered, the fighting generals re-entered the great city of Mar-Uruk. Upon entering Decado was joined by many of his Military leaders as well as the 7 Clerics of As-Samawat.
Nin-Agal: Kaiser, a strange man not from this land stopped me. He told me to give you this; a gift from him to you.
Decado: *laughing* Where is he now?
Nin-Agal: He also told me to tell you that he still won't call you that. I don't know what that means but he thought you might...?
Decado: *laughs*
The citizens gathered to see all the commotion from the battle, what many saw was Decado riding in on his faithful steed. It was an announcement without words; the Nagarean citizens realized that a new Kaiser rode victorious in front of them. It was a new era and many cheered his arrival.

Oh, I think I remember something about this. Wasn't Decado turned into a kobold by the Beast Rune or something? That could explain it, at least. |

Indeed it was, whilst researching the Runic Werewolves regiment in fact. I even have a story about the transformation and dealing with a new body somewhere in Highland... _________________
