Beyond the Pit [Pitboss Diplomacy Game] [Story Thread]

[Pitboss Japan]

Everything was going according to plan. The Oldonians were falling for the bate General Sozin set. As the retreating Japanese forces approached, Sozin noticed the trees all around them moving. Out of nowhere thousands of barbarians jumped out of the tress. They wildly attacked without any regard for anyone even themselves. After a few minuets the Japanese forces were able to kill all the barbarians. It wasn’t until General Zuko took account of who was killed that he found out General Sozin had been killed. It was a great loss for Japan as one of its greatest generals was killed by barbarians. Since Zuko was second in command he took full control of the entire army. With the lose of Sozin and the northern forces Zuko could only think about taking his revenge on the barbarians.

With two cities now under their control. The Razites had the power. They turned their forces on the Oldonian capitol they already knew the generals were always in orgies and so it was even easier to access the city.

Some guards still loyal to thearmy fought hard in the palace but after three days of fighting it was all over.

Each general was taken outsiode and no mercy this time was shown.

Each was hung where the old Oldoniasn Council members had been hung so long ago.

Finally it was time ti invite the prince into the city.

The governors of the northern citys all met in the capital and proclaimed loyalty to the prince and to the Great One.

"People it is now we must head south to retake the Armies fortress in the moutnains. Once last city to unite us all"

And so the Razites were led by Prince Rasputin II to the south.

Sally

As some time passed, Sally could communicate a little more with other people in the palace. The Empress had taught her the language of the Piercians herself, in exchange of the promise not to talk about who she was to others.

Sally joined Esther almost every day when the latter was watching out for the return of her husband. The two young women came along pretty well. However, Sally always wondered why Esther never asked her about her past, even if she had already been told to say she had been a roman slave.

There were no slaves in the Piercian Empire, everyone was free as long as he served the Empire.

But Sally was still intrigued by something very strange that happens to her. In fact, it was what not happened to her ; ageing. She was in Pierced Hill for several years now, but she didn't age. Neither did the Empress and her daughter. However, the Empress began to look old, even if she was far from looking like how old she actually was. The Funglish woman began to wonder about what really happened to her during the weeks spent with the bug-men. And why didn't the Empress and the Princess age ? The Empress knew their language... but the Princess seemed unaware of the whole story. Strange...

Advance Notice

To: The Metalheads, the Holy Roman Empire, and the Khmer (whom we are told are operating in this region).
From: The Funglish Dominion

Our scouts have recently landed on the mainland, and are ready to visit your nations in order to explore new trade routes.

We have chosen the landing point very carefully and intend to build an outpost there, with the intention of enabling land-based trade between our nations.

The location we have chosen is the delta at the mouth of the River Metallica (we are told that is the name of the city it connects to). We do not intend to build any more cities on the mainland as we are perfectly happy with the space we have on our island (however, please remember that the island is sovereign and is for Funglish settlements only).

Time was running short and Emperor Lee couldn’t wait much longer. He only had one more day before he would die and he did not want to use his back up so he sent Kimimaro to see what was taking the sound 5 so long. Kimimaro did as ordered and went off to the forest next to the mountains. There he found the sound 5 but only two were still alive.

The reason it was taking so long was because the Leaf had sent a squadron to find their comrade and bring him back. The group was young but it was extremely talented. Lead by Shikamaru Narra along with Choji Akimichi, Kiba Inuzuka, Neji Hyuga, Rock Lee, and Naruto Uzumaki, this group of young ninja was a force to be reckoned with. Kimimaro wasn’t impressed because he was too concerned with the one who Emperor Lee wanted. He took the container that held the body of the one he was after from the other sound ninja.

Quick as lightning he was off only Naruto and Lee were able to fallow while the others took care of the remaining sound ninja. They followed until they reached a clearing in the woods. There Kimimaro opened the container and Sasuke Uchiha stepped out. His heart was filled with hate and he yearned for more power. Naruto tried to call out to his best friend Sasuke but he would not listen. Sasuke then ran off into the trees and headed towards Kyoto. Naruto chased after him and Lee stayed behind to fight Kimimaro.

The fight was hard for Lee. Kimimaro was as powerful as he was precise. For the most part Lee was able to put up a good fight. They went blow for blow until Lee got drunk. Lee was nearly unstoppable and completely unpredictable while he was drunk. He came close to beating Kimimaro until he sobered up. At that moment Gaara showed up and took over the fight against Kimimaro.

Back in the mountains where the great river cut through Naruto and Sasuke fought in an epic battle. One fought for power the other to get his friend back. Both were about equal in strength but only one was going to walk away.[IMG][/IMG]

Living with an Empress

As usual, Sally brought Iris fresh water in the morning. The women talked a little bit about trivial things, until a messenger bird arrived at the balcony.

"Poor little creature, it is heavyly loaded for a tine thing like this." Sally said, actually wondering how the bird could carry a painting over long distances. "Don't you worry Sally, this is a condor. If you think he is loaded, wait to see what he carries once he is grown up."

The Empress was intrigued, She didn't know this particular bird... the condor carried a message with a piercian sceal, and a painting of an old man she had never seen before.

From : Messenger Achmed, To : Her Great Imperial Majesty Iris the Great Empress of the Great Piercian Empire.


Oh my Great Empress,

if You can read this, my birds were accurately trained, which is great. If You may excuse my beggings for apologizes for disturbing You, You may read on. Be sure that this message is of a great importance to Your great Empire oh my Great Empress.

I, Achmed, born in Asiza, was affected to a fishing boat to serve as a messenger for your great exploration of the great...

*Iris skipped two paragraphs*

So once the great....

*Another one*

So the spartans led my to their city, the great Sparta !

*sigh*

In the great Sparta i was invited to see the great leader of this great people...

*If Sally could read this code, Iris would have asked her to read it for Her, the lack of eloquence the author displayed really began to make Her angry, especially when She thought about him meeting with those Spartans."

... but an Oldonian messenger came at the same time, escoreted by two great...

"Sally, I will attend to this later, come with me, I will show you Wild Kho'Per. There is much to be seen there. I bet you don't know El-Ey-Fats."


A few hours later, The Empress, Sally and Some members of the Imperial Guard stood in the middle of Wild Kho'Per...

"Is this safe ? That beast could kill this man within seconds !" Sally asked. One of the guardsmen smiled and then explained that it was safe as long as no El-Ey-Fats of the opposite sex were near and in mood for reproduction. But he quickly added that there had never been any serious injuries. He told her about how usefull the animals were, especially for the Kho'Per miners nearby who can work all day long without delivery problems. However, it was not advisable to try to get the animals in the mine, where the noise and the darkness could easily panic them.

Sally told the guard about even more massive animals living in the waters of her homelands. At first, she was kidding and told the terrorized man stories about a man that had been eaten by such a creature, and was still alive within the beast. But she quickly added that this was simply a story told in order to avoid children swimming too far offshore. The laughters of the man were interrupted by some noise ahead.

The worker they had seen before was struggling keeping his animal under control. The guards were about to take their weapons out in order to kill the animal and rescue the worker, but Sally stopped them. The Empress ordered them to let her try whatever she had in mind.



"There is no need for violence here." She said, and walked towards the animal that still tried to get the man off it's back. She walked slowly, reapeatingly whispering to the El-Ey-Fat : "Calm down, there is nothing wrong here, you don't need to get angry."

As she approached the animal, her feet stopped touching the ground when she walked... Iris was impressed... She had heard stories about people who died trying to walk on water, but walking on the air was beyond everything that She had heard of. A soft and warm breeze came through the trees, and the animal stopped suddenly. It turned towards Sally, and watched her. It seemed like it listened to what she was whispering. Once she reached it, the animal began to sniff her. It seemed very curious about her. She told the worker to let the animal rest a little bit from time to time.

"Yes Mylady, i am sorry, but we have orders. Many weapons are built here, and five of our El-Ey-Fats have youngs or are pregenant, so we have to push the others a little further if we want to maintain the production. But you are blessed by the spirits of the winds Mylady, and i won't forget about your help and your advice." He quickly ran to his house in order to get some supplies for the animal, and tell the others about what just happened.

The guards kneeled down when Sally came back to their group. She was embarrassed, but Iris just laughed and said : "So this is what you call keeping a low profile ? Well... don't you bother. The chamans may wish to talk to you once we are back in Pierced Hill. You'd be surprised what they do to people like you, Sally."

She looked scared, so Iris explained that there will probably be a celebration for the spirits of the wind, nothing harmfull.

Next stop were the barracks of Wild Kho'Per. One of the guards explained that the barracks were built outside the city, in the middle of the untamed jungle so that the training would be harder. He showed several scars on his body, all of different kind. "Theese were from the first two month of trainging when I was there." he proudly said. "No other scars ?" Sally asked... "No, after that i was trained enough to avoid more jungle-scars. The less scars you have at the end of your five year long training, the better is the assignment you get. On average people come out of there with about thirty or fourty scars, if they come out at all." Sally now felt safe and in danger at the same time... it was strange.

After an hour of march through the jungle, they heard a noise ahead. If the guards didn't stop her, Sally wouldn't even have noticed the quiet whistling. One of the guards yelled a strange word that she didn't understand. It actually didn't really sound like a word, more like a roar.



A very muscular man came out of the jungle and salutated the Empress. He twinked with the eye towards the guard who just told Sally about his training here, after what the men embraced and laughed, talking with eachother in a strange way. "Military Code." Iris explained. "There is no system in it. You must have learned it there or you will never understand it. Even I don't."

Sally wasn't in mood for learning another language yet anyway, so she simply admired the beauty of the jungle. Sometime she felt watched. But she couldn't point out who or what watched her. A guard wispered "Recruits. Don't worry, they are training in stealth and are keeping our way safe. We will arrive soon."

A few moments after, the man that had greeted them pulled a great bush aside, and there she could see the most impressive structure she had seen in the Piercian Empire. The palace was big, really, big. But one expects a palace to be big. This structure was more like a small city than like simple barracks.

Men and Women were training all over the place. She was amazed when she saw a man just as well built as the one who greeted them defeated by a woman who had only one arm left. The guard who was talking with his friend stopped as soon as he saw her. He salutated and stood still. So did the other guards.

The crippled woman took some water and washed the dirt from her face, after what she adressed to Iris.

"Greetings my Empress. It is a rare honor to have You here. I suppose You are here to make sure by Yourself if... excuse me Empress, may i speak freely in front of the civilian ?"

"General Kalidah*, the pleasure is all Ours. Of course you may speak freely in front of Sally. If it's a title you need, i would guess the shamans will soon grant her one."

*= Actual persian female first-name meaning "Immortal"

"Will she be... ?"

"Yes. But let's not mess up this surprise for her." Sally rose an Eyebrow while listening. "Let's talk about Our plans. When will they be ready, General ?"

"If everything works fine, the currently trained ones may be ready in two years. The entire company however, won't be operational that soon, my Empress."

"Fine, General. Let Us see what they are already capable of."

"Follow me, my Empress."

The General lead them to the other side of the complex where men trained fighting El-Ey-Fat Bulls with lances.

"They are in mood for reproduction, so that they are more agressive." General Kalidah explained. "I am talking about the animals, not the men of course."

The scene was not very beatifull. Many recruits were heavily injured during the training, and the animals suffered from the stress. At least, the lances were all wooden, so that they wouldn't kill the beasts. Sally turned her eyes away, just before a cracking sound made it clear one of the recruits just had his skull crushed under a foot of the furious animal.

"This is my favourite training for those who think they have learned enough to pass the final exams." said the General and laughed. The guard Sally had spoken to earlier pointed at three of his twelve scars. She was disgusted by this place. She asked if she could leave and visit another part of the training compounds. Surpisingly, it was the General who answered "Do as you please, Ora... hmm... Sally.".

The scarred guard escoreted her. So she talked more with him. She knew the guards were made nameless once they entered the palace-duty, so she didn't even bother to ask what the guards name was. "I will call you Scar" she said, knowing that this would embarrass him.



In the mean time, the General stopped the training against the El-Ey-Fat and had some conversation with the Empress. They talked about what was to come, and the wisest way to handle it. During their discussion, one of the recruits salutated and showed his combat weapon to the Empress.

After two hours, a recruit was sent in order to let Sally know they would head back for Pierced Hill soon. It didn't take a long time to find Sally. She was talking with the guard and some archeresses about women in the army.

"Ready to go ?" she was asked by another guard. She asked for a few more moments. She called the General, who came back quickly, expecting an emergency, and asked :

"Before I leave, I would like to know how you lost your arm."

"A bet."

"What ?" Sally didn't expect that answer at all.

The general smiled and explained. "I was on duty on the Great Wall with the Prince. And i betted i was capable of drinking much more Cachasa* as he. So we had a drink-fight, and the looser had to go in the jungle, unarmed, until he came back with a lion."

*=basicly it's the same thing as rhum, but it's made from another part of the sugar plant. Can't remember what part.

"And you lost ?" Sally asked.

"No, the Prince was so drunk, he managed to make friends with a lion. Don't know how, but he couldn't stop hugging the lion. I laughed at the prince, and came closer, but the lion didn't like my hugs."

"Oh. Does the prince still travel with this lion ?"

"Of course not. I killed the lion with the hand that wasn't stuck in it's jaws."

"Oh.... well... thank you for answering my question genenal." She hoped never to meet that person again.

"No problem. I'll see you tomorrow then." the general answered.

"Nice." Sally said, and quickly rejoined the others.

And so they headed back for Pierced Hill...
