Far to the East where trouble and turmoil cannot reach and the island Oasis' lie dormant in majest and beauty the land is truely blessed. The gentle breeze there to beckon the rolling tides of the Eastern Ocean as the waters clap gently onto the foundations of Fort Kythira. The structure standing tall and proud, secluded from the mainland and untouched by the pollution of others, the fortress remains home to the formidable Sword Invictus.

 

From within the high walls of the fortress and flooding the courtyard stood tall and proud the Invictus themselves, draped in fine silks of red and occasional blue which lay over them, protected by plates of gold and steel with shirld in one hand and spear in the other. The courtyard seemed dead, the only noise to be heard were the flapping of banners bearing linen of Red and Gold. Before the numerous ranks of troops was the stone throne of the Grand Commander Adoros Steel, with incrested gems of ruby and emeralds with reflected the suns smile. The Commander was winged by two of his trusted advisors and officers Joseph Harper and Alarica Diara. The whole sight was glorious to behold.

 

Then from behind the light winds and fluttering banners came the sound of steel on stone, the repetitive sound of footsteps knocking in a pattern, clank, clank, clank. From behind the drapes of the throne platform emerged Captain Darius Elendil, Son of Derrek "The Bear" Elendil. Darius was a zealous leader in absence of the Grand Commander and a formidable swordmaster in the eyes of the Invictus. He gradually made his way to the front of the platform, his cape blown back by the Easterly winds as he looked on at the Invictus ranks.

 

"All hail the Invictus, Long live Commander Adoros!"

 

Darius bellowed through the keep, his voice ferocious and somewhat cracked. The Invictus troops prompted by their Captain praised "Hail!" and returned to their disiplined silence. Darius paced the width of the platform, fixing a gaze to every Invictus he passed.

"Brothers and Sisters! Steady your hearts! Look into your souls! For you have earned the right to be free men and women of the Sword Invictus!"

 

Darius pauses for a moment, taking a a deep breath and closing his eyes for a moment, before smiling porudly, continuing his speech.

 

"We shall not! Be forced to labour and tax for the betterment of few! The Invictus has excelled past the point of a mere mercenary service! For the Fortress of Kythira provides haven for all as you live and grow for the sake of the Invictus at your side! Housing, Protection, Good foods and Strong Brotherhood is promised to all who swear oath to the Invictus and Grand Commander Adoros Steel!"

 

A grin stretches across the cheeks of Darius, as he pounds the air with his gauntlet, shouting

 

"Hail Invictus!"
