A meeting in the the rose garden [Private/Alleria and Constantine]

In a small secluded park in the rose garden 3 figures waited patiently. Two young men dressed in white and black suits stood next to a lady in who sat at the parks bench, all dressed in a black and purple dress. She lazy stares at the illuminated park and the people walking about, the lacrima crystals making it a perfect setting for a love story to unfold with all the lovely trees and rose bush all around, and the gushing stream that leads to a small pond in the center of the park creating an ambient noise which lulls one into serenity. Yes it was picturesque, and it would have been perfect. But the sadly this was not that, this was a meeting of two Harbingers.

Theyoung man on her right wearing the black suit spoke"Master, how long do we have to wait? Isnt it dangerous for you to be here in the open. Its just been weeks since we appeared in Magnolia, the knights probably are still looking for you." He was about to elaborate more on the dangers of being there without her disguise on when the short haired guy in white interrupted him "Why are you scared Duo? Isnt that the reason we are here in the first place? And besides, im sure who ever master is talking with had already take care of that. After all, he managed to slip in the invitation right into our doorstep."

Heero was right, they dont know how but one day a letter turned up in front of their door. No name, no address, just the ominous message written at the back of the envelope in red letters saying "To the Bringer of War". Of course Alleria was shocked and intrigued at the same time. She knew there were four of them, and this was the first time one of them had ever made contact with her. So here she was, baring her true self in public in good will, hoping that nothing bad happens. After all, Rose garden was such a beautiful place, it would be a pity if it got wiped off the map so suddenly.

A man escorted by two lovely ladies approached them. The pink hue of his hair matched the delicious chocolate color of his skin. Not to mention those sharp eyes, she digs them a lot. Eyes that pierce right trough the soul. "So this is the Harbinger of Pestilence. Never would have pegged someone as exotic and beautiful as him would be so dangerous." She kept on eying him from top to bottom while the man discussed critical issues. It was a bit rude but she cant help ogling the creature before her, to the distress of her two companions. That was until he asked for her opinion.

It was true that the Council had been gaining strength and that the good guys numbers are growing every minute. And not just ordinary good mages but incredibly excellent mages. With their current strength, if they choose too, they could end the existence of dark mages everywhere. Its a good thing some of them are still bound by their idiotic moral code, that every life is precious no matter how vile or evil they may be. "Maybe we can use that to our advantage, dividing the house in two." She then looked him in the eye and spoke.

"I dont know if you will like what ill say. It has a 50-50 chance of working, if it works, the good guys will loose half their fighting forces. But if it fails, it may backfire on us big time and cause the extermination of most o the dark mages in this continent." She stood up, leaned closer to him and whispered into his ears. "Wondering how? Divide and conquer." Then she backed away from him in a flirtatious way with an alluring yet wicked look on her face.

Alleria cant help but stare at the creature before him. It was weird given that her heart already belongs to another. The man had finished giving his piece but the Harbinger of War was still silent, still looking at the man unaware that he was awaiting for her response. "Ahem." coughed Heero. Both he and Duo had noticed it earlier, it seems their mistress find the young man before them alluring. "Ahem!" coughed Heero louder as if to snap their mistress out of her lewd day dream. "Ah screw it!"  thought Duo as she elbowed Alleria snapping her out of the trance she was in.

"Details? Oh right...the details."  She looked at Duo and signaled him to give the envelop he had been carrying all this time. "Inside are files on certain Rune Knights." There was a pause as she drew her lips close to his ear and said "Have you ever heard of the term Lightsworn?"  Then she moved away to give the man some personal space and continued with her explanation. "Apparently they are a group Knights who implement extreme prejudice. They have powerful members and are backed by someone high in the Council of Members." There was another pause as she made a hand gesture for Heero to come close and give the envelop which he held in his hands. "Now their in your hands is another faction in Rune Knights. Those are...the soft ones. They practice maximum tolerance when pursuing criminals. Their faction has no name yet, but I have heard that the are growing in numbers. They also have excellent members and also back by someone high in the Council."

Alleria paced a bit before she continued with her explanation. "After the war in Magnolia, the lightswords faction proposed on pursuing the fleeing dark mages and exterminate them before they can recuperate. It was a good strategy too if you ask me, kick them when they're down. Yet when all thought the idea will be unanimous, the house was divided in two. One member proposed that it would be over kill. He proposed that it would be better if they should start rebuilding the war torn city first and strengthening the kingdoms forces before they go and pursue the dark ones." She stared at Constantine and said with a devilish grin on her face "If we widen the rift between these two factions. The house will be torn and fights will break out. And one way or another, they will loose have of their force in the in suing battle."
