OOC: I am now starting to RP the PT Drexel Hillsville. This is fairly Irish...

IC:
Impire (emperor) Crowley stood behind the marble podium that had been carved for this occassion. "Today I stand before you, not as a leader, but as one of you," He told his people. They cheered in response. "Today I preach not war, but unity! Unity of our gods and our people. Our clans today join to become, the Impireacht cara Ceilteach (Empie of Celts). No more shall there be bickering between family clans. Today, we go out into the world to bring it into us!" More cheers erupted from the crowd as crown of jade and emerald was placed on their Impire's head.

He quickly walked off the stage. He was being escorted by hand picked, heavily armored soldiers. They were the Kinghts Inferno, the elite forces who stood by the Impires through out their life time. They all carried the trademark of the Infernos, a Rantle (http://img151.imageshack.us/my.php?image=weapon6by.png).

Thousands of ships were anchored in the Gaelic Gulf. Few had cannons, the rest were armed with heavy balistas. Aboard each ship were twenty-five archers. They were ready to launch flaming arrows at enemy ships in battle or, in case of dire emergency, scuttle their ships. Accopmaneing them were fifty warriors ready for hand to hand combat. A number of the ships carried fifty Knights Infreno, while others carried up to twenty five Knights Desolate along with their steeds.

A small ship sailed from the capital to the flagship, the heads of both orders of knights were aboard. Mattew and Teresa Crowley each boarded the flagship. Their armor, weapons, and in Teresa's case steed, were already aboard. The invasion force was ready.

Two thousand ships set sail. One hundred fifty thousand troops were on their way to hostile shores. Forty thousand archers, five thousand Infernos, five thousand Desolates, twenty thousand workmen and crews, thirty thousand spearmen, and fifty thousand swordsmen awaited battle.

The ships were seen by a fisherman and they reported to the Emporer himself.

"My lord we saw two thousand ships heading this way!"

"I shall assure you that it will be taken care of."

The fishermen left and the Emporer sent word to his navy at Port Salum.


The rider gave a message to Admiral Smith.

It read:

Admiral take your fleetg and find a fleet of two thousand ships heading for our coasts Find it and sink it.

Emporer Johnson

A fleet of 1500 ships set sail looking for this massive fleet.

Elsewhere in the Empire,

Every coastal forst set up watches that would raise the alarm if they were attacked.

Several small, fast scouts went out in all directions of the main fleet. They were to make sure that the main fleet would have fair warning if another fleet were coming towards them.

Aboard one of the scouting ships on the fleet's two o'clock a young sea man was looking out to sea. "Sir!" he called out alertedly to his commanding officer as he spoted something on the herizon, "There's some thing at our two o'clock!" The older man looked in the direction that his subordinate was pointing in.

"Fall back, we've got to warn the main fleet," The man yelled to the man operating the helm. The boat lurched as it made a sudden turn. They would be back at the main fleet in a matter of minutes. Meanwhile, all along the scouting line between the nine and the three, there were other sightings of possibly hostile ships.

Onboard the ships that had been spotted the crews had opened fire with balistas. They fired flaming arrows at the sails and rigging.The main fleet was on its way.

On the largest ship in the fleet The Trident it had a small catapult that fired large vase of buring tar. The crew launched a large vase at the nearest ship.

Several of the small scouts started to sink. The catapult's vase smashed upon one of them, shattered and sunk several more ships with it's shrapnel, the tar inside spewed all over all of the ships nearby. Matthew, the leader of the Knights Inferno, and Teresa, Leader of the Knights Desolate, both saw large the splashes that came from the enemy's poor shots. "Oh Feck!" Teresa thought aloud as she saw yet another scout begin to sink. "My though exactly," Matthew responded.

He yelled to the man at the helm, "Fall Back!" He turned towards the crows nest. He called up to the man stationed in it, "Signal the other ships to fall back, we will regroup in the Gulf!" The man up in the nest quickly lit a special torch. Red smoke came off of the fire and most of the ships instantly started to turn with the flagship. "Feck," Matthew said under his breath.

An advisor stepped in, a young prince, and his young bride we're conversing happily.

"Prince Mako, this just came in." He nodded his head, and closed with "Lady Hoshiko." As was polite to adress the spouse of the Prince.

Hoshiko asked "What is it Mako?"

Mako: "Seems some combat is brewing to the southwest."

Hoshiko: "Should we be concerned?"

Mako: "Well they may attack our civilian ship. I must go take care of this. I'll be back soon."

He gave her a kiss on the cheek. And left. He was fairly young, 16 his wife was 13.

he walked into another room. "Well what's the situation?"

"Not much is known milord. We've sent out scout ships, they will report back soon."

"We likely have passanger ship travling that way. May the Kami* of good will be with them. Tell all departing ships to fly a blue or white flag, with a X-ray signal flag."

"Yes sir.

(*In shintoism, Kami is used to mean god(s) or spirits of certian things)
