    Two soldiers forced into war whether they like it or not... this was a common thing in the middle ages, especially in Europe... and these two were the same story, two people who had barely known each other before now forced to battle and defend each other in a war which never seems to end, the odds have never been in their favor.


    Well that's really all I have for the plot other than, as you could expect from many threads, perhaps there will be something more than mutual companionship? Anyways, you can jump in with a quick description of your character, including appearance and personality, or a picture if you wish. Do not track to never reply, if you do I will simply remake the thread and block you from the new one.


    [b]Johnathan Kimbrough
    John stands at about 5'11, and has an athletic if not muscular build. His eyes are light blue, and his hair a dark brown, bangs swept to the side was his usual style... though now he's lucky if his hair isn't matted with blood. To say he was handsome would be a great overstatement, but to say he's ugly would also be a great understatement. He is a friendly person and used to be the son of the man who ran the tavern in the sleepy home you came from. He hasn't been very quick to adapt to the new environment, but he's on his way there.[/fancypost]

    Of course! Just give the name of your character, describe their personality and their appearance (Or put a picture) and we can begin![/fancypost]


    Skylar Bloom
    She is a strong confident girl and doesn't let anyone bring her down. She tries to keep her feelings to herself and doesn't let them get in the way of what needs to get done. She can be sweet, caring, protective and one of the most amazing people ever if you are on her good side. If you get to her bad side she can be manipulative, cruel, secretive and one of the worst people you will ever know. She is hard on trusting people. When she is in love it feels like you are her world and she only thinks of you. She is quiet mature but can be immature and funny.

    John held the sword in his hand tightly, he couldn't see much out of his one eye... blood was flowing down into his right eye from a wound on his forehead, his right ear ringing and leaking blood down the side of his neck. The enemy had used something that just... exploded, he couldn't even tell what it was before it went off. He just knew he had to find Skylar before she was lost to the surge of battle, and forced himself to go forward despite the throbbing pain in his head, advancing on a soldier and stabbing the man from behind, pulling him onto his blade, grabbing his shoulder. The man fell limp and he shoved him off the blade... he'd only struck the man because he was wearing the color of the enemy, but for all he knew it could've been an ally. He continued on, holding his throbbing head.


    OOC
    Alrighty then, let's begin! Right into the action with an improvised... explosion thing just having happened, here we go, and never look back![/fancypost]

    Skylar groaned loudly as she tried to push the large rock off of her leg. Whatever exploded made a chunk of a building to hit her. Her ears were ringing and all she could hear was faint yelling and ringing, though the ringing in her ears was louder than the yelling. She pushed the rock again groaning as she used all her strength though she was weaker from the impact of the explosion. The only things she could think about was getting the rock off of her leg before she lost all feeling to it and she lost her leg from the knee down and if John was ok. "John! She called out. She needed help and she didn't know who all to call out for except him. Sky trusted him the most out of everyone.

    [fancypost borderwidth=0px; font-size: 10pt; color: COLOR; margin-top: -10px]IC
    John saw her ahead and sighed with relief, sheathing his sword as he ran over, one of his eyes still closed due to the blood in it that also matted his hair. He grabbed the rock and begin shoving on it with his full strength, though the large stone was barely even scooting along, so he took a step back. He drew his sword and wedged it under the stone, slowly prying the stone off her leg with the sword, the blade barely not bending under the force. He grunted as he wedged the stone off your leg, the large rock rolling aside, "Are... are you okay, Skylar?" He sheathed his sword and offered you his hand.


    OOC[/fancypost]

    Skylar felt relief when she saw John and watched as he lifted the stone. She quickly moved and closed her eyes to rest. She finally looked up at John tired but happy. "I am so happy to see you are ok." She breathed and grabbed his hand to stand up. She wrapped her arm around his neck not being able to walk due to the pain. "Are you ok?" She asked as she pulled out her sword to attempt to help.

    He nodded, "We need to get out of here... the enemy outnumbers us at least ten to one, the captain is rallying the rest of the troops." He started walking, supporting her as they went along, "That rock really damaged your leg pretty badly... huh?" He winced with pain as his head throbbed, the blood flow was stopping and the blood that had leaked from his ear had dried on his neck. His once fair face now covered with dirt, grime and matted blood, his hair was in no better condition and he really missed being able to take a bath, at least every now and then... He kept going off in the direction of the military camp they had come from, where the captain was rallying the men so they could retreat with everyone left. He sighed in relief inwardly as the camp came into view.


    OOC[/fancypost]

    Skylar nodded slowly and hissed in pain as they walked. She held on tightly as they walked not wanting to drop though John had a tight grip on her. She looked out happy to see the camp close ahead. She was glad to get medical care so then they could go back out onto the field. "Promise you won't go out into the field without me? You might be needing my help next time instead of me." She joked softly but was also serious. She looked up at him with an amused smile before at the camp as they got closer. Everyone had rushed back to retreat. Sky looked back up at John and scrunched her nose with a smile. "You need a bath." She spoke and laughed.

    John chuckled despite the horrendous things that surrounded them in this battlefield... the corpses that littered the ground and the red that stained the once green grass and brown dirt, "I'd never go out there in the first charge without you... and you're not smelling so good yourself." They reached the camp and the captain hurried over, asking if they would be able to do survive the journey back to the main encampment, John nodded despite not being sure about Skylar's condition, "We'll... we'll be fine, sir, I'm sure we can handle a journey back." He smiled reassuringly at the captain, who then hurried off.


    OOC[/fancypost]

    Skylar smiled and laughed at his statement. Even with what was going on around them John could always make her smile or laugh. She never really thought of him romantically but as a best friend, though she had her moments. She looked at the captain who rushed over, she nodded and looked up at John when he answered for her. She looked back at the captain who then rushed off. She lifted herself up more so she was standing a little more straight and not putting so much pressure on him knowing he was effected by the explosion as well. "I have a small first aid kit by my bed if we could get that quickly then leave with everyone else. I can fix that cut above your eye and clean the blood away so you can see my beautiful face with both eyes." She smiled teasing slightly.

    [fancypost borderwidth=0px; font-size: 10pt; color: COLOR; margin-top: -10px]IC
    John shook his head, "I'm fine with only one eye... but your leg, we need to take a look, it was hurt pretty badly by the explosion." Gently he lowered her to the ground, giving her a weak smile before he went off to find the medical kit she had mentioned, hopefully her leg wasn't damaged that badly... if it is, then it could be beyond his ability to fix and she would have to wait for a more proper treatment from one of the people actually trained for this kind of stuff. He found the medical kit and opened it up, it wasn't much... just a bit of dressing for wounds and some herbs to help stop blood loss and to numb the pain, but it would have to do. He hurried back to Skylar, and used his dagger to cut the cloth on her injured leg so he could get a better view, leaving most of the cloth and feeling a little awkward... there was a fairly sized gash on the front of the bottom half of her leg, and he winced at the sight of it. He grabbed the cloth dressings and cut a piece of it, which he quickly wrapped around the leg and then knotted tightly.


    OOC[/fancypost]

    Skylar nodded and watched him leave. She looked down at her leg and frowned hoping it wasn't too bad. She watched as everyone around her moved quickly to leave. She looked back to see John rushing back. She watched as he cut her pants and for we'd deeply at the wound. She hissed in pain when he wrapped the cloth around her wound. "Sh*it John." She frowned looking down at her leg. She sighed and ripped the hanging cloth off of her leg and tossed it aside. "Thank you." She offered him a weak smile. Sky looked at his eyes and reached out wiping the blood away from his eye and under his cut. "There now you can see properly." She said smiling gently. Sky slowly tried to stand up almost fell so she grabbed onto John's shoulder.

    John grabbed your arm, "You're fine, I've got you, don't worry... your leg really took a hit, huh?" He was glad that he could see out of his eye now, though he could barely hear through his right ear right now, the explosion had really done a number on his hearing. He slowly stood up, supporting her as he did, though he winced with pain as he did so, his ribs were pretty badly bruised, as was his left leg. He clutched his chest for a moment, his torso flaring with pain as he stood, and he barely held back a slight groan of pain. He looked around at the others, who were packing up their stuff, and a few loading up into a rickety, old wagon they had, pulled by an equally old and rickety horse, sadly the horse was the only one they had left... he gently led Skylar over to the wagon.

    Last post for the night, will be able to reply to your next post early in the morning and after about 3-4 PM tomorrow.[/fancypost]

    Skylar frowned as she looked at him. She passed her hand on his chest and looked at him with worry. "John.." She spoke slowly. She knew he was in pain and was holding it in. She looked over at the horse and winced knowing it would hurt both of them to ride on. "Maybe we can find something else to travel in. We both aren't well and it will hurt us more. Come on." She spoke gently. Sky knew he could be stubborn sometimes but knew she had to convince him to stay back and find another way of transportation.

    John gritted his teeth, "I'm fine... just a few bruises, nothing serious..." He leaded her over to the wagon and slowly helped her up before following suit, sighing inwardly as he took a seat in the rickety wagon, though his chest and head still throbbed steadily with pain. Others were loading into the cart as well, one of the men climbing up onto the front of the wagon and grabbing the reins on the horse, he was the one who would be driving the wagon. Slowly the wagon took off, John wincing in pain as it started off down the path, bumping along the old dirt path that they were going over.


    OOC
    They're not going to ride on the horse, the horse is pulling the wagon.
    Also, last post for like 8 hours.[/fancypost]

    Ooc oh ok lol sorry


    Skylar sighed and nodded her head as they walked to the wagon. She got in and sat down next to John. She was worried about him, he was hurt more than he was telling her. She gripped the edge of the seat as they rode off. When they hit a bump and she heard John wince in pain her hand found his. Sky looked up at him with worry and squeezed his hand in fm comfort. She knew this would be a very long and bumpy ride.

    [fancypost borderwidth=0px; font-size: 10pt; color: COLOR; margin-top: -10px]IC
    John smiled at her as the cart continued on... though his attention was drawn from her eyes as he looked at the remains of the battle, at the beautiful landscape and brown dirt which was so stained with red it was hard to tell if it wasn't red before now... corpses littered the ground, men crawling along in despair as they slowly died, injured horses running wildly and countless dead ones everywhere. He gripped her hand tighter as they hit another bump, knowing that she was injured as well, neither of them had escaped the battle without being wounded. He locked eyes for a moment with a limping soldier who was doing his best to try and catch the cart, the man's eyes filled with terror as an arrow flew from the dark and thudded into his back, cutting his cry for help short, John turning away and seemingly deciding his feet would be something better to look at.


    OOC[/fancypost]

    Skylar frowned as they hit another bump but relaxed some when John squeezed her hand. She sighed taking in the destruction of the land everywhere around them. She hated war, she always had, she hated being apart of it but wanted to help as much as she could. She wanted to be a doctor but thought the army would be better for her. She looked over to see a man trying to catch up to the wagon. She gasped when he was hit with an arrow. She held onto John's arm with her other hand. She looked at him sadly before resting her head on his shoulder. Sky felt lucky to have him as a best friend during the war. They were always looking out for each other and she was happy. If they weren't so trusting to each other they would have ended up dying calling out for help and having the other friendly soil sees just pass to leave them for dead. She closed her eyes to try and relax herself as she held tightly into John.
