*Nictos stands gaurd at the Fore deck. periodically scanning the crowds below as sudden vibration at his side alerts him.. His Twin Blades BLaze bright blue within their sheaths. Barely having time to react he spies movement in the crowd.*

Bowmen! Assasins! I warn the others......

Sprinting along the deck He sees the Arrows rain down upon the ships aft... not seeing the targetas he rushes the lenght of the ship to find Falcon stricken, and watches in torment as Falcon fades away*

"I have failed you friend...I have broken my word"

*Nictos Turns to adress the remainder of the Company.*

"What has happened here cannot go unavenged. A Warrior hasfallen to an act of a coward. Assasins no less! I shall not speak of trust given and recieved Only thatA trust has been laid unto me. It matters not that LordFireforge is gone. I did not Set out to join Falcon for a pleasure cruise onthe high seas...I pledged to do all within my power to see that his brother safe! May my blades chip and shatterer if do not do so now! I have failed him once and i would rather die upon a blade than fail him twice. By my own Blood i swear it so!"

*Nictos looks to each member or the crew as he pulls out his sword and draws it across his forearm aslowly, making a shallow cut along his arm. He holds it over the spot where Falcon had passed, his blood dripping down and joining the small pool of blood that had collected where Falcon had lay.after a moment he looks up seeking to look each member in thier Eye save for Nasas and the woman near him...lhis gaze lingering upon Gamine his eyes intense and full of fire*






"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.Fear is the little death that obliterates all. I Will allow the fear to passover me and through me. I will turn my inner eye to follow its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will Remain."



To truly know yourself You must look deep within and find your pain. When you have found it you must embrace it. The pain is who you are. How you react to your pain is what others perceive you to be
