Alex sat on his steed moving back and forth infront of the Public Gate of Skara Brae[Trammel]. This journey was long overdue it had been days since it had been planned to go back to Yew[Felucca] but other matters had occured to put of this second journey there. Today was different though with the New Castle built and all quiet in Luna for now Alex had summoned his troops to meet him hear thirty mintutes after the current hour. The time had come to find answers that were hidden in Yew. Alex conintued to pace back and forth infront of the moongate while looking up at the sky. The sun had began to set in the sky and the wind began to pick up it was going to be cold night he sensed. Pulling his cloak around him some he turned to face the gate once more. "Where on Britannia could they be he thought to himself as he was about to turn his horse to pace back and forth again."

Alex was about to turn his horse towards the gate after a few more mintutes and head back to the Castle to see what was keeping his men but before he took one step towards the blue shining gate he heard words of greeting. Alex looked around to see who had spoke and for a moment he did not see anyone then out of the woods came his General Keris Kenyrlylth. "Greetings my friend, you a little late are the others with you? said Alex as he turned to greet Keris"

Keris turned to the woods and pointed to two other figures riding gracefully closer to the gate. "Aye the others are with me but alas there are only two others here besides us m'lord for the other men are off fighting there own battles in the realm at the moment Keris said as he approached Alex." Alex looked behind Keris and recongized the men with Keris as Sir Garandor and Nano. Alex then began to speak as the men settled in besides Keris.

"Well men tonight we march into Orc Lands in Yew[Felucca]. Our mission is to find anything that may lead us to the Relic this Order once hid to keep from the hands of evil. I know not what we can expect to find but this map shows there is something buried near there land. Any questions before we head out men?"

Alex looked to each man to make sure they had any questions after few moments of silence and no questions Alex approached Nano and asked him to gate them to the Orc's Strong Hold in Yew[Felucca]. Nano then steped forward and began to chant the words to open a gate. Once the gate opened Alex and his men steped into it armed ready for battle just incase. Once through the gate and shaking off the dizzyness that comes with gate travel the men looked around the Orcish Stronghold. "Seems there is no one at home here M'lord Keris said as they walked about the outside of the Stronghold." "Aye it seems that way prehaps our luck will be with us tonight and we will not have to spill any blood this night said Alex as he turned towards his men."

"Now we are to ride to the Orc fort I am sure we encounter some hostile behavior from its owners so be prepared said Alex as he gave the motion to ride." They rode for what seemed like half an hour before they finally came upon the Orc Fort..they checked the homes around the fort for any sign of the Stormreaver Orc Clan but luckily it seemed no one was at home so they approached the Fort in the center of the complex. Once there they could hear the sounds of Orc inside the Fort but not the normal sounds you would here from a Stormreaver these Orc's were known as Urks[NPC's]. Urks are considered to most as lesser a threat then Stormreavers. Alex and his men approached the enterance of the Fort and went through. As soon as they were through the door they were spotted and the battle began. Blades clashed and magic was thrown throughout the air. The battle lasted for what seemed like hours but the Urks were slowly being drawn back with this chance Alex began to search the Fort following the Directions of the Map. Once at the spot on the Map he jumped off his Horse and took a shovel out of one of the Packs on the Horse and began to dig as his men conintued to fight off the Urks. After digging for a few moments Alex hit something. Kneeling down and throwing the shovel aside he began to digg with his hands uncovering a brown cloth bag. Pulling the bag out of the hole Alex opened it and within it was a small metal box. Opening the box Alex frowned a bit after seeing its contents. "Another Scroll blast it Alex said to himself as he closed the box and put it into his pack. He then got back on his horse and turned to his men.


"We have found what we came here for though its not what I expected. Let us ride towards our Stronghold in the Northwest and then recall out of this forsaken place he said as he rode off with his men following behind him." The encountered a couple of Stormreavers at a hut on there way out a few words and clashing blades were exchanged but knowing what they had found was important and not worth losing if the Stormreavers sent for back up the riders conintued on there journey Northwest. Once to there Stronghold in this area they took a moment to feed there mounts and catch there breath and then gated to Paladins Keep. Once there Alex thanked his men for coming on the mission and bid them farewell. Alex then rode to Sanctus were he heard there was dueling going on and also to think more about the events of tonight. He knew one thing for certain as he rode towards Sanctus that one thing was the search for the Relic was not over and that he must decode this scroll soon before something evil happened or stumbled upon the Relic and learned of its powers.
