'Red Lake...' He frowned at it. So it really was red. The old man wasn't lying. Sighing, he walked along the edge, remembering the tales his father had told him. Drink from it and die... fall in and die... He didn't doubt it. There was a feeling of death that came from the lake, a gloominess and a darkness. Unfortunately, he was very thirsty... "Just my luck, eh?" he muttered to himself, kicking a rock in the lake.

Admus was meant to be resting with his troops in order to follow out the queen's orders. He had killed before but killing children was not honorable no matter how much Queen Moria believed them to be powerful.
Admus kicked a stone towards the red lake, he would stop any human coming into Mediocris as he would not disobye Queen Moria but he was attempting to think of a way to avoid killing them.
He however stopped when he heard speak, drawing his sword silently, he moved forward until he saw a boy standing by the lake.
"You there... speak or feel my blade" Admus ordered as he pointed his sword at the boy. He wasn't human that much Admus could tell, at least he would not have to hurry his thinking up and he would not disobye Queen Moria.

Brendan jumped. He usually heard people coming up behind him. It half scared him that he hadn't. Turning to the man, he raised an eyebrow. The man was scary looking. But he didn't faze him. He noncholantly replied, "I'm merely a wanderer. I have no intention of causing trouble."

Admus narrowed his eyes at the boy before moving forward never lowering his sword. "No one wanders through the wastelands... and no one who does enter does anything but cause trouble" Admus admitted before a rare smile spread across his face. He never smiled and doing so made him feel strange but none the less he could only guess this boy was no problem for him.
"Tell me boy, what is your name" Admus questioned as he put his sword away studying the boy his smile fading away.

Grace always hated coming to this lake. It was nasty, red, and deadly to top it off. She walked slowly brushing the trees gently with her fingertips as she walked by. She could see the red as she came closer. As she drew nearer she heard voices, two men. She slowed her pace as she came to the end of the woods near it.
She peered out to see who it was. One was a very handsome man who looked not too much older than her, maybe by a year and another who was dark skinned and looked older, maybe an elder, but she didn't know. She knelt down slowly behind a bush trying not to make a sound to distract them, but as she came to the ground her knee broke a small stick that snapped and echoed around her.

Admus spun round scanning the trees for the person who made the noise. As a reflex his sword was already out before he faced the trees.
He would have to berate himself later for not hearing any one approach and could only try his hardest to assure that Moria never discovered this. "Come out now" Admus ordered glancing to Brendan to make sure this was not a trap, he was sure he could take two but if there was more he would only last for so long. "By order of General Admus you will show yourself" Admus ordered readying himself for an attack.

Grace stood slowly and steadied her pace as she made her way out. She looked the General in the eyes and only walked out so he could see her. She made sure she kept her distance. "I'm not here to make trouble," She said in a soft voice, "I'm sorry to have startled you, but I didn't want to come out just yet." Grace looked at the other man and then back at the General.

[[ no BEN BARNES ]] Admus studied the girl only lowering his sword a little... too many people were entering the wastelands not to make any trouble. "Girl you aware of where you are... these lands are owned by Queen Moria, they are not any place for" Admus glanced to both Brendan and Grace before finishing. "Children to be playing" Admus lowered his sword completly but was not ready to disarm himself just yet.

"Yes of course I know where I am," Grace said answering the mans question, "and I've been here before." Grace glared at him and studied him also. She watched him put his sword down and listened to what he had to say. "Also Sir if you don't mind me correcting, I believe we are not kids, we are young adults," She said looking away, "and I don't care if your stupid Queen owns it." Grace turned her face back to him with a hateful glare.

[[ Over seer posting as Admus while Danny feeds his face]]
Admus rasied his sword once more and snarled at the girl, it was one thing to insult him but another to insult his queen. His punishment would be nicer then what Queen Moria would do to her.
"Girl... believe me I will make your punishment less painful then what the Queen would do... no one will protect you" Admus ordered
[[ don't worry someone will come to protect you shortly... and opps I think Brendan may feel a little left out :/ ]]

[He'll be fine lol.... and im not worried remember i can handle myself lol]
Grace glared at him, but was curious about what he would do. She knew she could handle herself, but she didn't know his capabilities so she was scared of what might happen. "I don't care about your Queen or what you will do. I hate her and I always will." Grace looked around and then looked at the other man. She wondered if she should do anything about him and she wondered what side he was on. She hoped he wasn't on the Generals side because she would at least have someone else with her.

[[ as stated Danny took to long to come back]] The rumours about Moria sending spies out had worried Over Seer, the army was far from ready with new arrivals Over Seer knew he could not send those children into battle. Hugging the trees Over Seer moved in his wolf form, the red lake was a fearful place to be and it was dangerous for him to be here.
So dangerous in fact that he stopped when he saw general Admus pointing his sword at a girl, growling Over seer lept forward and stood between Admus and the girl.
"She is un armed Admus... I thought you believed in honorable kills" Over Seer growled baring his wolf teeth at the warlock.

Grace jumped back when the wolf came in. "I wonder how they know eachother," Grace thought as she watched them. "Who are you," She stammered for she knew she could talk to the wolf, but never had a wolf spoken to someone else unless they had the same power. She looked back up to the General and wondered about him and how did the wolf know she was unarmed when she truly wasn't. She looked away for a moment and then back at the two.

Admus tightened his grip on his sword and swung it to Over Seer, this was much too prefect for normal timing. Of course his troops would be resting, but it didn't matter becasue Over Seer was in his sights and he would take him back.
"Over Seer what a pleasant surprise" Admus declared meaning no joy over it, he narrowed his eyes alreay planning his next move. "I should have guessed you would come to the rescue of a child... do you still believe that those foolish children you call fighters will stand a chance against the queen's army" Admus demanded.

Over Seer growled once more flashing his eyes at Admus.
"Those children have more belief and loyalty in them then you give them credit for as well as Moria... that will be your undoing" Over Seer growled before he paced back and forth.
"Do you really want to test my powers Admus... have you forgotten so much... have you already forgotten what Moria did to your family and your clan" Over seer questioned moving closer to the girl hoping the boy near the lake would use this time to make his escape.
