Julius Copy

Your eyes peel themselves open, revealing the cold stone floor you had laid hungry and unconcious just 12 hours before. You are Julius, a rebellious princess in the middle of Medieval era, hardly considered a real monarch (as you are a woman), and more free-willed than your population would wish you to be. You hardly remember what had happened in the past day, aside from your brother being murdered by the Sanglish monarchy, your friends being arrested for inciting a revolution. You also remember either [[The Capture]] or [[Your Brother's Death?]] (set: $win to false) (set: $bad to false)

You remember how you and the revolutionaries were forced into surrender by Sanglish border guards. Your weakened force of comrades held the place for a fair amount of time, but the sheer amount of guards slowly wore away at your [[allies->boyfriend]]. Upon realizing their fallen foe had been the Princess of [[Casciadia]], the armies rounded up the barely alive, presented the prisoners to the [[Sanglish King]], and imprisoned them in the castle dungeon. You're reminded that they've imprisoned your boyfriend along with the rest of your friends. But right now, you decide to focus on getting out of your cell. Do you [[Fiddle with the pitiful lock]] or [[Look around for something else]]? (set: $key1 to 0) (set: $key2 to 0) (set: $key3 to 0) (set: $charWen to false) (set: $charErd to false) (set: $charAnt to false)(set: $cutSK to false)(set: $cutAr to false)(set: $cutDn to false) (set: $win to false) (set: $pitLock to false)

You don't need any keys, seeing as your cell wasn't a problem for you in your aggressively strong state. The chumps that ''SHOULD'' be guarding the ''JAIL'', aren't there, so you may come and go as you want without spilling blood. That's fortunate for them, but it puts you in an even worse mood. You decide to free your friends from Jail. You hear hissing noises from Jail #1. You conclude that it's Count Erdely, whining like a bratty batty. Might as well bring him with you, so long as he shuts up for once. [[Break out prisoner in Jail #1]], Or you could break out Wendell, the weak wizard who is incompetent in quick thinking instances. You assume the whimpering coming from Jail #2 is him. Might as well drag him along or interregate him, since he seems to be the quickest to rat on his friend, the coward. [[Break out prisoner in Jail #2]] Or you could bring possibly the most useful ally of yours, Antoine. He likely won't be an obstacle for you when you try to escape. You just hope he won't be too sappy with the love stuff. [[Break out prisoner in Jail #3]]

As you ''BARGE'' through the doors of the King's writing room, you meet Enrico's fiery eyes. "Julius, you made a horrid mistake daring to escape my castle dungeon. And arriving unarmed? God must've smiled upon me today!" He outstretches his hands to the sky as thanks for this "blessing". You ''SNORT'', "You've always been a nutcase, Enrico. can't believe you're still pushing the religion thing on me. Besides," You give a teethy smile to the out-of-shape chump that Enrico is. "''I don't need need weapons to knock you out!''" Turns out you do. As soon as you brag, he takes out a short sword, advances quickly along the floor, [[and before you can put up your fists or counter->You've succumbed to death]]

Usually, your normal small frame would surely lose in hand-to-hand combat with two guards, but your abnormal temper negates all disadvantages you would have. You ''PUMMEL'' the unsuspecting guard, causing him to collapse to the floor. His partner turns around, but before he can raise his weapon, you ''KICK'' him so hard in the chest that he stumbles back onto a railing, barely catching himself before falling. You notice the first guard trying to escape, but you ''STOMP'' on his neck to keep him from fleeing. //''That leaves the second guard.''// You briskly manuever over, ''TEARING'' the weapon from the flustered guard's hands, and with one swift movement, you ''THROW'' the guard to his death three stories below. What will you do to the first guard? [[Kill the guard]] or [[Knock the guard unconscious]] ? (set: $win to true) (set: $cutAr to true)

It clicks to you finally. Your brother being murdered just hours before you were jailed for simply trying to flee the country with your [[boyfriend->BOYFRIEND]] and [[comrades->Erdely And Wendell]]? The [[Sanglish King]] is finally trying to take over [[your land->CASCIADIA]] for good by brainwashing the public, as he usually is. You wouldn't have had to flee your own kingdom had he not denounced you as a heathenistic ruler and turned your citizens against the royalty. That coward must've had a spy to not only ambush your brother but to tell him where we'd flee to! Your blood begins to boil as you feel unknown strength floods your system. You ''BURST'' through the rusting iron bars that you'd generously call inescapable. The one thing rushing, swarming in your mind;//''The King and the traitor must pay for what they've done.''// What will you do next? [[Charge some patrolling guards to steal weapons]] [[Charge the dungeon with your bare hands]] [[Charge the Sanglish King with your bare hands]] (set: $angrPnts to 0) (set: $win to false) (set: $bad to true) (set: $cutAr to false)

As you begin to inspect the lock, the poor thing falls off of your cell door! You almost feel sorry for the lock, knowing that the guards back home are too distracted to check to see if it even worked. "Sorry little buddy, I'll make sure to get revenge for you," you say sorrowfully. As you turn around to walk away, you turn back to the little lock, pick it up, give it a lil smooch, and bring it with you. Pitiful Lock has joined the party!

While in your cell, you discover a small rock right outside. Upon flipping the rock over, you find a small key tied to the rock! Further investigation of the key shows a small label with the words "//Clave para la celda 1//". When you try to use the key on the lock on your cell, the lock just falls off before you can try to use it. Well, you have a key to something now, and you're out of your cell! (if: $key1 is 0)[You put Key #1 in your inventory] (set: $key1 to 1) Where to next?

You're at your cell again. What will you do next? [[Fiddle with the pitiful lock]] or [[Look around for something else]]

As you approach the cell, the hissing stops. When you get closer, you see Erdely staring back at you from the darkness "I'm not coming with Julius. You're going to kill me if I do." You're confused, and upset that he would think so. "''I'LL KILL YOU IF YOU DON'T, ERDELY.''". You ''RIP'' open his cell and stomp in, as Erdely recedes further into the cell. "Good luck," the vampire points to himself "Immortal". That's the last time you see Erdely. ALRIGHTY. FINE. [[NEXT JAIL CELL.->Break out prisoner in Jail #2]]

"WENDELL!!!!!!!!!! ARE YOU STILL THERE????" You scream, then realizing you may have been too harsh with the meek boy. By the time you arrive at the cell, you see his eyes full of tears. "Oh Wendell, I'm sorry for shouting", you begin, but it's clear he understood what happened with Erdely. While whimpering, he casts a teleportation spell with the last of his power to escape his cell, and more importantly, you. //"I'm sorry your Highness"// You sigh. [[Once cell left->Break out prisoner in Jail #3]]

"Julius, I can explain everything" Antoine shouts in fear as you ''TEAR'' open his jail cell. "''SAVE IT''" you growl. "''I'm in no mood to hear your excuses. Right now is when we focus on DRAGGING you out of here.''" Before antoine can protest, you deliver on the ''DRAGGING'' promise and haul him [[BACK UPSTAIRS]] .

You swiftly lunge at the guard on the ground with the spear, ''TEARING'' open a hole in the guard's chest. The guard writhes on the floor with what strength he has left, left to ''DIE SLOWLY'' You feel no pity, so you just walk away from the scene. You've obtained the Spear! You try swinging it around a bit to get some ''DECAPITATION'' practice, and you chip a piece of the wall off. Haha You begin to chip more and more of the wall away. Hahaha! When you're done chipping there's an etching of a scared-looking Enrico ''HANGING'' by his shirt on a post with many of his teeth ''KNOCKED OUT'' and the word "''CODARDO''" written on his forehead. HAHAHAHA! Nice, you invented Graffiti. (set: $angrPnts to $angrPnts + 2) What's next? [[Charge the dungeon with your bare hands]] or [[Charge the Sanglish King]]

You take the nearby spear and use the blunt side to knock the guard out. You've obtained the Spear! You try swinging it around a bit to mess around, and you chip a piece of the wall off. ... You begin to chip more and more of the wall away. ... When you're done chipping there's an etching of a goofy-looking Enrico with his eyes crossed, his finger in his nose and his tongue out. Nice, you invented Graffiti. (set: $angrPnts to $angrPnts + 1) [[Charge the dungeon with your bare hands]] or [[Charge the Sanglish King]]

This foul waste of oxygen ruined the life of a fellow monarch only for the conquest of land? ''UNACCEPTABLE'' He's taken too much from you. [[Kill Enrico.]]

That's not a choice for you now. ''He's gone too far'' Why does he deserve to be spared, and you don't? [[Kill Enrico]]

Antoine and You reach the entrance to the horse stables. You ''CHOP'' the lock clean in half out of sheer rage. "Uh Julius? Are you feeling alright?" Antoine says, placing a hand on your shoulder to try and calm you down. It does the exact opposite. You ''SHOVE'' his hand away from you, growling a bit as you speak " ''You should know damn well what I'm angry about, traitor.''" Antoine flinches and goes silent for a bit. "I'm sorry for what happened, but I had no choice Julius! It was the only way you could be safe from yourself!" "''What are you talking about.''" You're ''GRINDING YOUR TEETH'' and ''CLENCHING YOUR FISTS'' at this point. "Julius, what your brother told me about your family changed how I felt about protecting you. I learned that the only way we could be safe from violence together is if we stayed away from everyone. And I needed a surefire way to get Enrico to leave us alone, so... I let Enrico in on our plan to escape and traded your brother's life for your safety." ''"[[YOU IMPRISONED ME->GOODBYE ANTOINE]]"''

The only people who made you who you are, the only sort of family an isolated princess in the midst of political chaos could have, ripped away by the king of another country!? ''ENOUGH!!'' ''YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE!!'' ''[[KILL ENRICO!!!!!!]]''

Exiled by her people only for being a different sort of person in this era? ''PITIABLE FOOL'' How dare he. [[KILL ENRICO.]]

''Keeping the spear training in mind, you swiftly RIP ENRICO'S HEAD FROM HIS SHOULDERS and watch his head roll on the floor.'' You did it. You killed him. You're Safe. ha haha Hahaha ''Hahahaha'' ''HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'' (set: $angrPnts to $angrPnts + 1) (set: $cutSK to true) [[I THINK IT'S TIME TO GO AFTER THE TRAITOR->Charge the dungeon with your bare hands]]

You leave without Antoine and without harming a soul. Well Mostly. You feel betrayed yet stronger in a certain sense, having left behind the toxicity of politics. You know that maybe you'll never have a soulmate again, but you'll be fine you think. The coals of love, anger, and revenge have all been... //Fizzled out// THE END

You decide to kill your boyfriend for betrayal and lying to you. As you feel your hands grow their claws, and your mouth grow their fangs, Antoine tries to weasel his way out, however his sweet words fall on deaf ears. With the last remaining concsious you have, you think to yourself."Even Soulmates fight, maybe even break up, maybe soulmates don't have fairy tale endings". Even Soulmates ''betray'' you. Antoine spends his last energy resisting the death from the woman he loves. The last thing you hear as your humanity melts into thirst for blood is... ''JULIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'' THE END

As you begin to flee onto the horses and begin to charge the doors you hear the foul scream. This scream is the enraged voice of Enrico shouting out as you escape with your friends to go home. And in this moment you realize your real freedom. You realized that even if everyone in your kingdom hates you, You have Antoine, Erdely and Wendell, and that's all that matters to you. After you return from the thought, the last thing you and your friends hear is... //Julius!!!!!!!!!!!// THE END

Escape with just Antoine You two make it back to your kingdom safely. The day after you arrive home, you two get married. Even though you left your friends behind, having each other is just enough for the both of you. There's still a little sorrow left in your heart though. THE END

You escape with nobody Nothing really to feel about it, you move off to London and become a witch, cursing everyone who wronged you, but only with bad luck, and eternal damnation in hell. You feel bitter, but not any true burning rage. The true burning rage comes after you die. THE END

While Erdely is a vampire and isn't attracted to you sexually, the two of you go on to conquer the rest of the mainland countries, (Including Sanglain), split amicably once you two have established solid empires. While you miss Antoine, you understand how important for a future empress to not get caught up in emotional affairs. You feel accomplished, even though your people hate your rule ever since you've returned. However, you find solace in the fact that you are amongst the greats of history.

You escape with Wendell Wendell is nervous that we're leaving everyone, but You assure him that things will be fine. When the two of you return to the kingdom, you completely endorsed his research in magic and wizardry. Eventually Casciadia got known for its advancements in the magic field. After the Renaissance of magic, You crown Wendell as the king of Casciadia. Even though Wendell isn't Antoine, it's enough for the two of you. THE END

You don't find Enrico in his writing room oddly, but what you do find is his diary. "Haha, wimpy shrimpy's got a diary" While you flip the pages for some pitiful literature, you find that earlier on in the diary, Enrico writes about talking to Antoine about an "important matter". Huh What next? (if: $cutDn is false)[[Attempt to charge the Dungeon without weapon]](if: $cutDn is true)[[Enter the Dungeon]], [[Check the Sanglish King's Room]] or (if: $cutAr is false) [[Search for the Armory]] (if: $cutAr is true)[[Check the armory more]] ?

While searching for the Armory, you see some guards coming out of a room! You quickly hide behind a corner as you hear them say "Eh I don't feel like locking the armory, It's not like anyone is going to steal some swords and armor". You ponder if these were the same numbskulls who haphazardly locked you up. After they turn a corner, you sneak inside to acquire some means of defense. Funnily enough, the bulky iron armor is too heavy for your weakened state, along with any other medium to large sized weapon, so you settle with a measly dagger for intense hand to hand combat. (set: $win to true) You now have the Dagger. You try swinging it around a bit to mess around, and you chip a piece of the wall off. ... Oops... *ahem* 'That wasn't me' you think to yourself Where do you go next?

As you search around a bit more, you find a hidden key amongst the messily placed armor! the label says "Clave para celda 2" (if: $key2 is 0) [You get Key #2] (set: $key2 to 1) Where to next?

As you check the room more, you find a small compartment under the diary where a key is hidden! The label on the little key says, "Clave para celda 3". (if: $key3 is 0) [(set: $key3 to 1) You put Key #3 in your inventory!] What should you do next?

Turns out no guards are guarding the place, you can come and go as you please. What do you do next? [[Find The Sanglish King]] , [[Back at the cell again]] , [[Search for the Armory]] or [[Enter the Dungeon]]? (set: $cutDn to true)

Now that you've successfully entered the dungeon, you may now find your friends in captivity. It's quite dank in here, and under normal circumstances, you wouldn't enter another man's dungeon to steal their prisoners of war. Good thing you don't consider Enrico a man! Which cell shall you proceed to? (if: $charErd is false) [[[Cell #1]], with hisses and scratch noises eminating down the hall] (if: $charWen is false) [[[Cell #2]], with terrifying howls, almost if someone is crying ] (if: $charAnt is false) [[[Cell #3]], with mostly complete silence, except for the violent clanging noises of metal] or Would you like to go [[Back upstairs]]?

"Julius! There you are!", calls Erdely before you even see the figure in the cell. "I'm in jail, as you can see. Make yourself useful and open the door, won't you?" Erdely is mocking you with puppy eyes, before his quivering lip turns into a deep grin. He begins to roll into the air and land on the ceiling "Ha Ha! Really, I wouldn't have to ask if I could get out. Would you help a brother bat out?" (if: $key1 is 1)[[Unlocking Erdely's cell]] (if: $key1 is 0) [[Try To Free Erdely?]]

The whines and whimpers of the anxious wizard echo in the hall to the second Cell. As soon as you show your face to the young kid, he starts sobbing violently. "Oh dear, sorry Wendell.." you apologise, walking a bit closer to comfort the wizard with your real presence. Wendell begins, but can barely get out understandable words, "Your, your, your, higggggghhhhhhhhhhhnnnnnnneeeeeeeeessssssssssssss! Are you real? This better not be some illusion! Can you please get me outta here?" What do you do to help Wendell? (if: $key2 is 1)[[Unlock Wendell's cell]] (if: $key2 is 0) [[Try to free Wendell?]]

"As you approach the third cell, you see your wonderous boyfriend in the cell." Antoine narrates. "Hey Antoine." you say as you approach the cell. Antoine sits up from the floor and gets up. "Julius, I need to confess something. I'M the reason we're here." You're stunned. Your one and only sold you out. "For what? Why would you do this?". Antoine gets a look of shame that was kinda there since you walked in. "I wanted to keep you safe from everyone. Your brother told me the truth behind your family. You have the strength of a dragon because you are one. But I know that if we handle this together, we can live peacefully without having the dragon side interfere" explains Antoine. You're having a hard time taking all of this in. "I thought that asking Enrico to leave us alone by capturing us would be the perfect oppurtunity for us to ruin his reputation. Besides, we're both men of our word", you scoff at that remark, "And we let him capture us. We can escape and he would still have to leave us be for eternity!" "I know it may be hard to trust me after this, but know that I did everything for your safety, Julius", Antoine near whispers the last bit out of shame. What do you do? (if: $key3 is 0)[[Try to Free Antoine?]] (if: $key3 is 1)[[Unlock Antoine's Cell]] or go [[Back upstairs]]

Casciadia, (you're probably going to butcher the proununciation, but it's fine), is your home kingdom, and a cozy little peninsula smack dab in the middle of all the trading routes for each country. Needless to say it's valuable land, but at the behest of the Royalty's political personal space. I've got a lot negative attention, from raids, to pirates, to marriage propositions. It's gotten to the point where I mathematicians with me to help calculate the odds of negotiating with me. It's always going to be zero, but the math nerd IS REALLY THE SALT IN THE WOUND. There's a story that's been told from generation to generation about our bloodline, which I believe is just an analogy. "Each one that wears the crown of Casciadia holds the strength of dragons. Only when they're dethroned does it release". It's probably just about negotiation power. But let's get back on track with [[The Capture]]

Some of your allies include your two [[best friends->Erdely And Wendell]] You being in the midst of political manipulations as a princess, are subject to a multitude of suitors and possible marriages. You're not really into that kind of arranged-marriage-for-alliances sort of thing. It's a bit creepy to you anyways. There is someone you wouldn't mind marrying though. His name is Antoine the VIIIth, and well he's a lot nicer than the suitors you're expected to court as a princess. Originally you suspected that he was only after you for your money, but after you got to know what kind of person he was, it seemed that kind of scumbaggery was out of his moral range. He's been the most supportive with your choices and freedoms, even going so far to explore some taboo feelings for this era. Antoine said that he would do anything and everything to protect you even at the expense of your land. Pretty noble of him. Most people in this world pull the exact opposite. So you guess that's why you like him more than the other suitors. [[But anyways->The Capture]]

"Excellent! You have the key to my cell! Ha ha! Free me Julius!" he screeches, shaking the cell door excitedly. "Can I get a please first?" You shoot him the same smug grin he's been shooting for the past 20 years. The pale skinned vampire's face goes white, before realizing he can't get out without dismounting his high horse. "May I..." he coughs "please" he whispers "get out of this hellish cell?" You figure a whisper is the closest thing anyone ever got to a respectful request. Good enough for now. "Huzzah! We ride for victory soon enough! Let's Bounce!" he transforms into a bat and flies slightly in front of you to make it look like he's in charge. (set: $charErd to true) [[Go back?->Enter the Dungeon]]

You try to wrestle with the lock a bit. Unfortunately, it's not as poorly built as your cell, so it looks like it'll take more than just some elbow grease and hard work. "If I may," begins Erdely, "Have you tried getting the key first? And opening it the traditional way? That may benefit you more than just shaking the lock around like a brute." Even if he is giving you a smug grin and being demeaning as all hell, he may just have a point. There's no way Erdely is getting out without unlocking the cell. [[Go back->Enter the Dungeon]]

"Uh, your highness? I think you need a key to unlock me..." He shudders and shuffles back into the cell a bit "Sorry" [[Go back->Enter the Dungeon]]

"Thank you thank you thank you your Highness!", Wendell dashes to your side, and joins your party! (set: $charWen to true) [[Go back->Enter the Dungeon]]

"I appreciate the noble effort hun," Antoine starts "Don't call me that right now." you bark "But I don't think your crazy dragon strength is activating right now. You're better off getting the key". Dammit, his gorgeous face is right, better come back with the third key. [[Go back->Enter the Dungeon]]

As the key unlocks the lock, and the cell door swings open, Antoine burst into a fit of blushing just because of how shameful his actions were. "I promise I won't pull anything else like that". You shoot him a quick smile signalling that you understand, then chsange it into a "you better not" look, before relaxing a bit in his embrace. "I know we'll never regret this. And I'll never let you down again, in the many years that await us Julius." //You forgave Antoine// (set: $charAnt to true) [[Go back->Enter the Dungeon]]

Now that you're back upstairs, you've got two options Either [[Check around the Sanglish Castle more ]] or [[Leave with your current party]] Your party is currently: (if: $charErd is true) [Erdely: "Can we leave yet? My cloak is getting soggy!"] (if: $charWen is true) [Wendell: "Guh, I'm low on energy, so I can't cast any protection spells right now. Which means we're plumb outta luck if we encounter any warlocks!"] (if: $charAnt is true) [Antoine: "We're so close to blowing this joint. Make sure you're still on guard, though."] (if: $pitLock is true) [Lock: "..."]

As you begin to approach the horse stables near the entrance of the castle, you realize something's off. All of the guards have vanished into thin air, so that should let you escape without harm right? Wrong. You forget there's someone you haven't seen yet, someone who would have a great problem with you just up and leaving. And the you hear his voice [["Hello Julius"]]

You're back upstairs. What do you do? (if: $cutAr is false) [[Charge some patrolling guards to steal weapons]] or (if: $cutAr is false) [[Charge the Sanglish King with your bare hands]] (if: $cutSK is true) [[FIND THE TRAITOR]]

You charge Enrico in his writing room, with the sudden abruptness alerting him. It was too late for him though, as you immediately thrust the spear through his relatively frail body. "GUH!! You can't have killed me this easily! You heretic freak! Even if I die here, your people will rise up to destroy you in favor of me and my purity." "Enough with the chat. ''WHO WAS YOUR RAT?''",you kick the spear, lodging it a bit further. Enrico ''SCREAMS'' in pain, "Antoine! IT WAS ANTOINE!" ''ANTOINE'' Antoine is the traitor who gave away your location to Enrico. Now you've had all your trust ripped away from you, by the only man you ever trusted truly. ''But now, You've got two choices.'' [[Kill Enrico]] or [[Spare Enrico]]

[[Back at the cell again]]

Enrico cuts you down before you get the chance to strike! A red line forms on your chest, and soon, the red color oozes and climbs down your shirt. //Red// Before long, all you can do is choke on that aggressive taste of iron. //Iron// The pain, the slash wound, makes you cry in agony. //Agony// Your tears combine with the blood from your mouth and fall to the ground. //Bloody Tears// Soon All You Can See Is Red You have failed to escape with your friends (if: $bad is true)[[Try Again?->Your Brother's Death?]](if: $bad is false)[[Try Again?->The Capture]]

You escaped with only the pitiable little Lock that your cell lost. You live a happy little life, realizing there's more than one soulmate in your life. And one day, this little lock will propose to you, and become the strong-willed little king of this wonderful little kingdom. THE END

You turn around to see that Enrico is standing right behind you. "You thought you could leave here Julius? I didn't expect an elder of mine to be so conceited? You see, I won't let you be until You're completely off the radar, do you understand me? You've come between me and my ambitions for the last time," he pulls out a short sword, "Your citizens will rejoice once they hear that there's been a swift end to your reign of terror!" (inhale) (exhale) You have two ways out of this, Julius. [[Option One->You've succumbed to death]]: Charge Enrico head on with your dagger, and be the first to make a move! OR [[Option Two->GET THE BIG NET OF FISH TO SUBDUE ENRICO AND BAIL]]: Utilize the fact that there's a conveniently placed net of fish above Enrico's head and launch the dagger at the net's rope!

The King of Sanglain is Enrico, one of your oldest best friends turned greedy bastard after your kingdom. Maybe you encited this, but you both aren't helping the conflict as of now. Most recently, he killed your brother, Mark Anthony. Executed him in the middle of Sanglain's Capital and captured you in the hopes that the Casciadian monarchy would be replaced by his lineage. You wouldn't really have a problem with how some political whiner treated and spoke of you, but he took it too far when he started to enforce his religion to rally your citizens against you. (if: $bad is false) [[But more importantly->The Capture]] (if: $bad is true) [[But more importantly->Your Brother's Death?]]

You throw your dagger through the air, instantly causing the rope to snap under the weight of the fish and collapse onto Enrico immobilizing him for a fair amount of time! This your chance! You get on the horse and ride off toward your kingdom (if: $charWen is true and $charAnt is true and $charErd is true)[[Let's GO ALREADY...->Julius]] (if: $charWen is true)[[[After you arrive home...->Wendell]]] (if: $charErd is true)[[[After you arrive home...->Erdely]]] (if: $charAnt is true)[[[After you arrive home...->Antoine]]] (if: $pitLock is true) [[[After you arrive home...->Pitiable Lock]]] (if: $pitLock is false and $charWen is false and $charAnt is false and $charErd is false) [[[After you arrive home...->Alone]]]

Count Erdely is the long standing ally to the North of Casciadia, having been in the business for 500 years. Count Erdely is a vampire, known for his romantic encounters with man rather than maiden.
