The Rangers Gathering...

[Dame Kaelyn Urquhart-Raven]

Kaelyn = ** Kae was feeling a bit restless so she headed to town and the archery range for a bit of practice and perhaps see a few people she knew. She rode her gray and white mare Zhara a wedding gift from her friend Justin... she came to the ranger and dismounted not many were about at this hour of the morning which meant she had free run of the place for now.**

Danae = It didn't seem that the Ranger Kaelyn would be the only one that could not find any solace for the time being. For the Greek warrior ranger also found herself just as restless and she too found herself at the range shooting off a quivers of arrows. Icy blue hues would turn as she heard the sounds of hooves thundering behind her to see the mare and its rider. A smile graced her lips before she returned her attention to the bulls-eye target ahead. With an arrow already notched, Danae let it go and sent it slicing through the cold air with a whistle. Perfect shot... Danae lowered her bow and then turned back to greet the Arganian Queen. "Afternoon Kaelyn... nice to see you." -d-

Kaelyn = ** Kae looked at the many arrows burrowed into the target by the Avarain Ranger Danae with a smile she walked over to her fellow ranger "Good afternoon Danae care if I join you?" she asked removing her bow from her shoulders she had a quiver plus of arrows and would be glad for the chance to loose a few. It may just help ease her mood as of late." Nice shooting...by the way." she smiled and nodded to the targets with her head.**

Danae = Danae stepped back to allow Kaelyn a go at the target ahead. "Of course not... please...go ahead." She replied as she set the end of her bow down to the ground. Using it as a light prop while hands overlapped the top of her bow. "Thank you..." She said in reply to the compliment on a job well done with her shooting. Her icy hues drifting from Kaelyn to the target and then back. "How is the family?" She asked, though, feeling bad for the woman as she remembered the last time they crossed paths. The blond ranger had been rather upset due to... well the loss of a love. Something that Danae could relate to back when she was with the Legionnaire Batiatus. -d-

Kaelyn = ** Kae nodded a notched an arrow and pulls back on the string.The string stretches taunt, flexing the bow like a sickle moon, the shaft rest against her arm. Waiting tensely for its release she breathes in deeply the sweet mingled scent of grass and pine calms her she sights down the wood gentle words of remembered instructions whisper around her head then in a moment of perfect unity between woman and arrow she lets go the dart springs forth eager to be let loosed set free in a moment of flight then curves down to earth but its hasty escape halted as it burrows softly into the target. Quickly she notched two at once and let them loose just as she had the first all finding the mark in the bull-eyes on the target. " My children are well thank you they are at the Castle with Bess until I return from this war." Yeah she felt a bit better as she looked at her arrows and smiled but nothing would take away her pain... nothing but to have Darius back.**

Danae = Danae nodded, leaning on one leg more than the other so her weight shifted. "It's good to know they will be well looked after and protected in these times of war." Danae didn't have children, and at one time had hoped too. That however was once upon a time. Ever since the death of Emory, she had grown hard and well, there was always the two failed relationships that followed to make an already hard woman a bit bitter. It didn't matter now though as she was well on her way to a new place in her life. With or without love. She was focusing on herself, her men, and the upcoming war against the English. "You're welcome...I'm glad to know they are doing as well as you say. They are after all the future." Icy blue hues watched as the woman set to sending arrows toward the target with a extraordinary accuracy. "Well done..." She complimented as she grinned to Kaelyn. -d-

Kaelyn = ** " Danae, with the war approaching quickly and we are both rangers and lead men... I was thinking that we may want to strategize and make plans that would suit our talents best." Never one to beat around the bush. Kae smiled as she was complimented. " Aye they are the future as all the children of this land are... they just have a future in two countries" she chuckled. She may be a queen in Argania but here, she was a Knight as well as the Elite ranger...besides one could never have to many friends and allies could they. Kae's own glacier blue eyes looked at Danae... so alike yet different. Born in another land and yet fighting for the one they were in, both rangers and highly skilled... Kae shook her head with a chuckle. "Thank you, it is nice to practice with someone other than my men for a change."**

Danae = "I agree... I think we should devise a plan to help safeguard the others. I'm afraid I don't have the amount of men I once did...given my.. situation, some decided to stay with the Steward in Avaria instead of following me who now is considered an outlaw or sorts. Which is my reason for being in Skye right now." She wasn't sure if Kaelyn had heard the circumstances surrounding her current presence but wanted the woman to be aware of it. The copper skinned woman was one that like to lay it all out and get things in the open rather than letting people find things out what some would consider to late. "You know these lands better than I... but given a chance to study maps and such, my men and I could hopefully come to be a great deal of help. Should you and yours like for us to join you and fight along beside you." She said with a smile. Danae maybe an ally, but she never assumed or invited herself as part of anything without it being requested or asked of her. -d-

Kaelyn = ** Kae set her bow down and with legs akimbo listened as Danae spoke " I can lend some of my men from my lands in Blackmoor as well as some form Argania. All are excellent bow and swordsman and they know the land as well as I do." she said in her odd mix of accents. " I and my men would be honored to have you and yours with us. I can lead a main group from my lands of Ravens Crest and you can lead the others from the East we could surround them." she smirked " The bloody English will have no idea what hit them.... my men can also train you to use your mounts as weapons as well... we just need to get them the proper trappings." **

[Dame Danae Galanos]

Danae would remove a single arrow from her quiver as she set aside her bow and propped it against a nearby column. The arrow was held between each forefinger and thumb, idly twirling it with the fledgling upright. She nodded in agreement with Kaelyn, glad to see the two of them were coming together as sisters, as rangers, and as brothers in arms should in a time such as this. "Well we thank you for allowing us to work along beside you and your men. I speak for all of us when I say that." She said in reply and she now found herself propping up against something nearby.

"I and my men are ready to rid these lands of those English bastards that continue to think they can dominate every land that they travel to. We will be only to happy to help make them see otherwise and send them running back to their precious King and begging for mercy or pardons." Danae added a few moments later. Honestly, the woman couldn't wait for a little turmoil and warfare. There would be this huge grin on her face, one that would show just how needy she was of such activity.

[Dame Kaelyn Urquhart-Raven]

Kae smiled as Danae twirled an arrow in her fingers " There is no need to thank me we are sisters and as such we have to stick to egtehr besides we cannot let the men ahve a ll teh fun now can we?" she smirked and after she spoke a cool calm came over her.

A glint twinkled in her eye as she reached for the dagger hidden in her boot and removing it slowly she hurled it down toward the target... THUNK... it found its mark and she chuckled " Pagan will be pissed I made that. Not to mention owe me a pint at the tavern." she smiled.

" The English think that they can control and rule the world but when this over they will know that the Scots are not easy pray and that they have allies.... from both Argania and Avaria." she turned to motion for Pagan to approach... Phantom followed.

" Lady Danae let me introduce two of my Shadow Knights... Sir Pagan and Sir Phantom." turning to her knights she continued" Lady Danae and her men will train with us."

" Danae I would like to ask that you be my second in command of the Rangers?" Kae smiled and waited for her response.

[Dame Danae Galanos]

Danae watched as Kaelyn then turned to show off another common skill each seem to possess. Dagger throwing. One had to know how to handle their self when relying on a last resort, which usually meant daggers and hand to hand combat. "I agree... men have entirely to much fun and leave none for us women. I think that perhaps sometimes, they are a little intimidated, knowing we can do things just as well if not better than they." She said jesting, yet there was indeed a truth behind those words. Danae chuckled along with Kaelyn at the comment about her friend Pagen not liking the fact the woman made her mark and payment would be collected by way of a pint of drink.

The dark copper skinned woman would nod in agreement with the more fair featured High Ranger about the English thinking what they could get away with. Also, that the Scotts along with their allies would be one hell of a feat to conquer in this war. Icy blue hues drifted to the two men that now came at the beckoning of their higher rank. A nod was granted to them each as introductions were made. A faint respectful like smile would follow as Kaelyn informed them both that Danae and her men would be joining them in the fight against the English.

"A pleasure to meet you both. I look forward to working along beside you, all as well as my men. I speak for them also when I say this." Danae's eyes drifted from the men and back to Kaelyn. The question the woman had asked the Greek warrior came as a bit of a surprise, but one most welcomed. "Kaelyn... I honestly had not expect such a gracious offer. But, if it suits you... and those that serve under you as well, I will accept it. I'm sure it will have to be approved by both the General and the Duchess as well. If you would all have me and my men, we would all be grateful and honored to serve you and your people." Danae replied with as she gave a small smile.

[Dame Kaelyn Urquhart-Raven]

Kae gave the copper skinned woman a smile " We are all needed to fight if we are to defeat the English." she turned to look at her men " We need to prepare for the coming battle... go to the camp ready the men and make room for Danae and her men as well. Let all know we have allies coming to train and fight along side us." her tone soft yet commanding.

" Danae I can think of no other to be my second... you have great skill, my men will follow you and accept your position as my second... as for General Maahes and Lady Bess... I am sure they will sgree I will send word to them of this. For ow let us gather you men and make for the camp so our men can get acquainted." she said with a soft smile.

" Besides it will be nice to have another woman there to talk to... to strategize with... not that my men do not converse and do such, but sometimes it is nice to have one that understands." a small nod was given as she spoke hoping it made sense to Danae as it did to her.
