House of the Righteous and Noble Augustine

[David Augustine]

He kept his hand on his hilt and slowly walked around. He look amongst the weapons and armor. His senses were on edge. She was right someone was here, but who or better yet what was here? He knew of none that bleed black blood. He slowly bent over and peered underneath the table to see if anyone was there.

[Guinevere Viperatus]

Guin drew her sword as she heard a creak from behind her. She turned around slowly and saw nothing. But as she turned back to face David, she saw something dressed in complete black in front of her.

[David Augustine]

David rose and saw the dark figure. He was thrown off at first, but quickly regained control. "Who are you and what is your business here?" he questioned the figure. His hand still on the hilt of his sword. He was prepared to strike if this stranger made any false moves.

[Guinevere Viperatus]

The figure did not speak but simply stared at Guin. Guin held her sword up to the figures neck.

"I don't like this.... thing." she said flatly.

[David Augustine]

David drew his sword and pointed it at the individual facing Guinevere. "I order you, in the name of God, to tell us who you are and what you are doing here!" he demanded this. He did not know this individual or what he could possibly be doing in this mansion.

[Guinevere Viperatus]

The figure just let out a cold laugh and before it could reach for its sword, Guin sliced off a hand.

"Oops..." she said. "I have a feeling thats not gonna grow back..."

[David Augustine]

"Speak!" David demanded of of the intruder, "What is it that you seek? Who sent you? What are you doing here?" He didn't enjoy this. It was something that he was unsure of. This individual had somehow had gotten in here before they did. They had know just spotted him and didn't hear him enter the building. This individual must have already been here, but for how long.

[Guinevere Viperatus]

"My name is Alexander Harston..." Thats all he would say because he was far too distracted by his missing hand.

[David Augustine]

"Alexander Harston." David repeated to himself outloud, "Does this name mean anything to you, Guinevere?" The name ran through his mind over and over again. It was racing through all of the people that he has met before. In particular the warriors and mages that followed his father to aid in the war. The name sounded some what familiar but not completely. He kept his blade focused and his eyes on Alexander.

[Guinevere Viperatus]

She shook her head no, keeping her blade to the young man's neck.

[David Augustine]

"I see." he replied to her answer. David looked down at the ground for a moment thought about it. He then looked back at the invader. He had difficulty finding the words to ask this man what he was going to ask him. "Alexander Harston," he addressed him difficulty, "Do you know a Jonathan Augustine?"

[Guinevere Viperatus]

"Maybe..." he said flatly.

"Answer before you lose a few more body parts...." Guin said feircly, turning her blade slightly.

[David Augustine]

"Did you or did you not know a Jonathan Augustine?!" David demanded with a righteous fury in his voice this time. If this man had information on the whereabouts of his father, David wanted to know. He was searching for his father, who had gone missing during one of the Crusades.

[Guinevere Viperatus]

"Yes! I knew him..." he said furiously.

Guin almost felt like killing him on the spot but she held her blade steady, knowing David did not wish for her to kill him.

[David Augustine]

This came as part of a shock to him. It showed on his face as his eyes widened a bit. The returned to their normal state and he then continued to question him. "How did you know my father? Were you a member of his squad? Were you a friend of his? or an enemy?"
