Seeking A Lord

[Zhang Smith]

It was boiling, the immortal Zhang Smith was exhausted. He had been traveling all over the lands of china seeking someone. He had heard tails of a man by the name Sun Jian. He had been travling alone for sometime now. "God is hot out here." Smith wiped the sweat off his forehead. Smith finally could see the city in the distance. "Finally, I was beginning to think I would never find this place" Smith picked up the pace. He couldn't wait to get off his horse. For the past few weeks all Smith had heard was the constant clanging of his armour on the back of the horse. When Smith arrived at the gates he got off his horse, and begun to yell at the guards. "HEY YOU UP THERE GUARDS LET ME IN, I'M HERE TO SEE LORD SUN JIAN"

Wu.

Han Dang, once again, was idling on the walls of the city. Leaning against the edge of the main gate's walls, this time he was fully awake and well, though not at all active in body. Helmet pushed down far over his head in an attempt to keep out as much sunlight as possible, Han Yigong looked at nothingness in hope to see some matter other than the continuous line of dust blowing in from the sand below the city. No merchants or travelers today...

And there he was, the new visitor. Another potential recruit? Man, they were getting a lot of people now... Maybe too much? Was the thought that possibly popped in Yigong's mind for only a brief moment before he turned to look at the man below. Quite demanding, and a bit of a disrespectful tone in his holler, but oh well, it's not like Yigong himself didn't scream in everyone's face every day when he felt like it.

"Open the gates and let him in, guide his horse to the stables and let him keep his weapon as long as it's not some portable catapult or ballista."

With a wave of his hand, the guards immediately obeyed and flung open the large gates of the city, while Han Dang himself walked down the stairs to meet the visitor.

"Greetings."

[yelena]

She ducked behind the building and let out a deep breath. Oh great. That wasn't fun. At all. She mentally cursed herself a thousand times, thinking of how stupid she had been. as the men rushed past, she grinned. Yelena, pushed her hair behind her ear to keep it out of the way. She was near the walls of her city. It was like a cage. She hated it.

Sun Yelena heard some noised and moved toward it. She held Serviable Arc in one hand and looked to see what was going on. Someone new? Yelena walked over, pushing he hair so it fell over her shoulders. she had that look to her that turned heads. And got her in trouble. Mini skirt, a top that pretty much wrapped around her breasts and boots. She set the bottom of her bow on the ground, and leaned on it, looking at Han Dong. Someone new. Yeah

[Zhang Smith]

When the gates opened, a few guards came through and took his horse. Smith thanked them and then seen someone coming towards him. The man greeted him. "Good afternoon sir." Smith walked over towards the man.Smith bowed to the man trying to act respectfully. "My Name is Zhang Smith, or "The Immortal" as some people refer to me, Im seeking Lord Sun Jian"

"The palace is... that-a-way, straight up the street, not hard to find. I'll inform Lord Sun Jian of your arrival so you can meet him faster and more personally."

Han Dang tilted his head toward a nearby private, standing on guard duty for the walls, and without a word the young man sprinted off toward the palace as a messenger to inform Sun Jian of the arrival of the newcomer at Wu. Good news as always, Jian would probably come out to personally meet the man.

"On second thought, I'll go with you to the palace. I'm bored anyway.

"So... What exactly are you seeking our lord for, if I may ask?

[Zhang Smith]

Zhang Smith was happy to have the extra company. It has been weeks before Smith had talking to someone else other then him self. "Well Im seeking a true lord. I have heard great things of this man Sun Jian. I'm hoping this is true. These are times of distress, and im hoping i can assist your lord in overcoming these times. Why did you join lord Sun Jian if you do not mind me asking?"

"Well, I myself was gravitated toward the great man due to his great charisma and his ability of leadership, as well as his potential capabilities for the future. I've also heard many detailed things from associates under Sun Jian's service previously, reassuring my assumptions. There's no other lord that I would serve."

And coming up ahead was none other than the female warrior of Wu. As always, beautiful and well-dressed, though nothing to look down upon.

"Greetings, Yelena."

[yelena]

Yelena blinked. She had been distracted in her thoughts. She gave Han Dang a big grin, her eyes sparkling. "Nice to see you. It's Sun Yelena" the last part was a joke. She didn't care about her title. It meant little to nothing to her. She looked past him to the man. "And who are you?" she raised her eyebrows, then slowly stood up, moving her bow behind her hand. "Princess Sun Yelena, of the Sun Family, at your service." Yelena nodded her head to him.

[Zhang Smith]

Zhang Smith instantly noticed the beauty of the young women before him. He heard Princess Sun Yelena and quickly bowed his head. He grabbed her hand gently and kissed it. "Zhang Smith the immortal at your service" This was the first time Zhang Smith has been near royalty. He put her hand down and kept his head down in respect to her.

"Immortal, eh? Haha. Well, I'll have to give you a friendly warning before you meet our Lord. If your loyalty happens to waver, or in any case you are her on false terms, you won't be too immortal anymore. Understood?

"But anyhow, nice to meet you Yelena, care to join us while we go to meet Lord Sun Jian?"

[yelena]

She stared at the man. Immortal. Oh great. When he got killed in battle, guess he wouldn't be thinking that anymore. Well, he wouldn't be thinking at all. She laughed out loud before she remembered that she hadn't said it out loud. She took her left hand and raised the man's head so she could look him in the eyes. "He's right. You do anything that makes me think you're a traitor, I'll kill you myself." She smiled, her eyes serious.

Then she went back to her regular self, her eyes having that mischief look. "Oh.. My father.. Ah... " she bit her lip and then shrugged. "Why not? New Recruit?" She asked, nodding her head to Zhang.

[Zhang Smith]

Zhang Smith raised his head. He listened to the warnings by both the princess and the man. "Ive been called many names in my travels and done many things, some i regret however I for one am not a traitor, and would never do anything to harm any of you or your lord." Smith did not want to overstep his boundries. He was trying to make a good first impression however he started to feel like everyone was keeping a close eye on him.

[Sun Jian]

Sun Jian was visiting the local residents of Wu to show that he was a caring leader, and to show that he would protect their homes, when a messenger rushed upto him, and went down to his knees, "Mylord, Han Dang has sent me to inform you that we have a new recruit come to join us and wishes to see you".

A smile appeared on his face. It seemed that many talented officers wishes to join his ranks, as they all see it is them who will unite the lands in the time of chaos. As always, Sun Jian, never likies to sit still and let them come to him, but rather he goes out to meet them personally, as he charged uptowards the entrance, where he saw Han Dang, his beautiful daughter Yelena, and the unknown visitor who must be the one who wishes to see him.

As he got closer, he stood next to his daughter Yelena and smiled, before saying outloud, "Han Dang, it seems you've found yet another recruit. It seems our vision to unite the land is appealing to others and that we do have some talented warriors wanting to join us", he turned to the visitor, "Please, tell me what your name is, and why you wish to join me, rather than the other regional lords?"

[Zhang Smith]

Before the man said anything Zhang Smith knew that this man was Sun Jian. He felt the presence of power when the man was standing in front of him. Smith quickly got on one knee and bowed. "Greeting my Lord, I am Zhang Smith, also referred as the Immortal. I Have heard many great things about you, so i decided to seek you out and see for myself." As Smith was speaking he could feel, Han Dang and the Princess watching his every movement. "These are times of chaos, and from what I've heard, and from your presences, I feel you are the right man to end this." Smith kept still, showing all respect while waiting for a response.

[Sun Jian]

Sun Jian smiled then laughed as he called himself the Immortal, before laying his hand on his shoulder, "Master Zhang, you seem to have the makings of a warrior. However, enemies may want to see if you are really Immortal, so I suggest you keep your guard and continue to train so you can keep up your reputation", he paused, then asked, "If I really am the right men to end this chaos, then what is your view on the current status of the land and the other regional lords?"
