As the huge outer wall came into view, he kept to the shadows moving very quickly but slow for himself as he moved from tree to tree through the branches.
He looked up at the wall towering over the trees. Wondering how he would make it up there without being seen. The guards probably won't understand magic, so I could just skte by them and they will never notice me at full speed.
He hopped from his perch and caught himself to the wall as he focused his mind to hold him there. And up he went fast as he could on four "legs" up the side of the wall. Towards the top he slowed down to peer up between two watch fires so he would stay in the shadows. He slowly peered up over the wall in a crenellation.
Silently he waited for two guards to pass him by. Neither one even remotely noticing him. He let his feet dangle under him and held with his hands only as he fired his arms downward throwing himself up and over the wall. Rotating his body so he was facing the opposite direction, and watching the two guards get further away from him as he came down and landed on the edge of the wall crouched low so as to keep his landing silent. He looked back and forth for anyone who may have seen him.
Not too difficult. But I wont be surprised to hear from Kalista that someone saw me. As he turned his thoughts back to the job at hand about to stand and take his leave from the wall.

Up on the highest tower, standing on the upper most parapet, there was a darkly, but scantly clad woman, her pale skin and striking white locks stood out in the night, or would have, if it wasn’t for the fact that every soul around her seemed to ignore that she was there, of course, she preferred it that way, and so they did, they ignored her, everyone of them having no clue that it was because she willed it, it would be.
The Unchained looked down at the ‘intruder’ she watched the ease in which he scaled the wall, watched his acrobatic efforts, and though, to the human eye, his first movements couldn’t have been seen, to her, it was like watching a film in slow motion, she caught everything. Her stern face grew an almost amused look as the two guards passed by without noticing the man. She disliked most everyone, and couldn’t really give a rats ass about what happened to Karador in general, her main and really only purpose for deciding to serve under the crown as the Executioner was so that she might torture and kill any and all Necromancers she came upon, and her only concern at this moment, was the elusive Necromancer Master that was lurking about Karador. He peaked her interest, having already obtained near total control over one of her own kind, this, she knew she would have to put a stop to and soon, before he gained the general knowledge that would make it possible for him to bind all Unchained, meaning herself as well. She decided then, however, to hop down from her perch way up in the sky. She landed on soft feet, making little to no sound behind the ‘intruder’. She waited, giving him time to realize she was there, allowing him to ‘notice’ her existence only after she’d drawn her static ridden sword from its sheath, her white orbs, where once color did grace, as well, static ridden, her long soft locks flowing down over her black, cloaked shoulders her left hand on her hip the right holding her sword down and at her side.
“Hello, or is it good evening? Oh, I tend to get that all messed up, I hate pleasantries and the lot, but on to the point. What is your business sir, and who are you?” She asked, her voice quiet, almost a whisper though demanding of attention nonetheless.
She wore no emblem of Karador, not that one would have fit on her attire anyway, and there didn’t seem to be any thing on her at all that would suggest she had an inkling of care about the place, save for her questions. There would have been no way he would be able to connect her to Karador, other than that one fact.

As he stood and turned to hop from the wall, the slight ruffle and muffled landing caught his attention. So someone was watching. This should be no fun at all. He turned after a second, knowing all to well that he had to have been spotted as Legacy are not able to be "felt" as such. The hair on his arms and neck standing on edge as the static from her sword filled the area. The necklace that the queen gave him dangling from his neck on the outside of his shirt. His sword on his back, he would not draw it unless he had to. His eyes very likely glowing as he looked so closely at her that he saw the tiny hairs on her face and her completely pale skin. Scanning her entire body for movement of any sort, this one seemed not to be gentle to the touch.
"Honestly, I wouldnt know what lil pleasantry would be used right about now. As you have obviously caught me which means I need to work a little harder at concealing myself. Although I doubt I will be able to with you watching me like that." He smiled then ever so slightly, making the hand gesture he makes when he bows and inclined his head just slightly. "I am actually on my way to meet the Queen, would you like to come?"

The tall, pale woman looked him up and then down as if sizing him up, her gaze was nothing if not cold. She was obviously not amused or even swayed by his comment at seeing Kalista, it was as if she really didn’t’ care one way or another, and in fact, she didn’t. Her left hand came up from her hip and she swept the long mass of hair from her shoulders and then moved it back down to once more rest on her hip. “You know, I should just kill you, but I suppose Kalista would look down on that if she is indeed expecting you arrival, that is.” The woman stated with an almost sadistic grin on her lips. “But then, I never really cared too much as to rather she was displeased with me or not.” She shrugged her shoulders. “Though tonight I am in good spirits and perhaps will not have to kill you, though, I have found that humans can live through quite a lot of pain.” She said this last part with a note of contemplation in her tone, as if she might have been actually considering her words.
She looked at him now, actually looking at his eyes as her lips drew up into a semblance of what just might have been a smile, though with her, it was hard to tell, her face remained neutral, her colorless orbs not telling a tale. Even with his super human abilities, he would be hard pressed to see what she would do, having many different future actions all at once, and he wouldn't be able to tell what one would be the final truth, the Unchained or, an Unchained with the power of the one before him, was above the natural order of anything. She of course however, could not figure out what he was either as with her race, his was undetectable except by their own kinds, or in her case, Necromancers as well.
“So then, I ask one more time, sir, what is your name.” She stated, her tone neither friendly nor aggressive either.

Wow..he blinked twice as the burst images flooded his vision until she finally moved. "It is indeed good that you are in good spirits, as I too am in good spirits. The way I see it is simply this, you have come demanding, so I shall tell you. Despite lack of manners...My name, is Uichi Zacharius. You may call me Zach, if you like.
This one is nothing like thoseI have met before. I wonder who she is, or if she will even tell me.
"Who might you be? If you would be so inclined as to tell me." Wondering the whole time what she would or where she would go, he had to be prepared for anything she was constantly a blur of movement. Lucky for him all the things he had seen comming at him had not yet happened. He had taught himself not to flinch or move until the last second as he learned how his vision worked and precisely timed it. It was still incredibly hard not to be confused when looking at her.
Totally on edge now as he is deemed pretty much powerless in her presence. He asked her, "What is it you are doing? You are a cloud of movement in my eyes."

Nothing but a blur of movements He had said. This caught her as an oddity, as she had never before been called a blur before, many other names, some of which the wielders had died for, but never a blur. She gave a half laugh, an honestly sarcastic sound that came out from her lips, but nothing more for several long moments, her mind flashing through possibilities that this man was not what he seemed, after that comment.
“Well, as to who I am, the name is Diala, not that it would mean much to you, and as far as being polite, sometimes that just isn’t time to be so, and as I have stated before, I never was one for pleasantries and the like.” She then told him, answering his question as well as explaining her rudeness.
The visions he would see coming at him, would be a very multitude of actions, ranging from her swinging her sword at his head, to shaking his hand. She had many thoughts or really non at all as to what she was going to do, her mind would work it out in the end, and she would act, but right now, she was too busy with so many other things, he might even see her moving off to go and smash one of the guards head into the wall for no good reason.
“As to what it is that I am doing, is at this moment, questioning you as an officer of Karador, but as to what it is I do in general, well, a multitude of things really, who knows from one moment to the next, and who really cares, what I do is my business.” She then answered him once more. “But enough of that, what are you if not really human?” She then blurted out, now resting the tip of her sword on the ground at her side, the static claming as she did so. She then gave one more sarcastic laugh. “You tell me yours, I’ll tell you mine.” She shook her head and rolled her eyes. “I spend far too much time with humans.” She then commented at her last statement.

As he could now see this was going to be a long night, he stepped forward and sat on the edge of the wall legs dangling from a crenellation. He took in a slow breath and exhaled to gather his thoughts.
"I come from a people that call themselves the Legacy, we are more super humans than really human. We come from all races and walks of life, however my society looks down on those who breed with normal humans. They like to keep our powers growing. I am the result of over two millenia of constant breeding." I can take on most any creature with superb finesse and not worry about them ever touching me. Me senses are finely honed and controlled as is my mind. I am stronger and faster than any human or even vampire alive to my knowledge. And even as my sight is so finely honed I can see the grains of dirt in the crevacies of the brick, and i mean the ones on a brick the tiny ones, I can also see the intentions of others as they move."
As an example he took his thumb nail anddug a line in the brick with out so much as grunting. "I doubt this will impress you but its an example of what I can do. Those guards who will be walking by in about three seconds. I can tell you exactly what they will be doing. When I look at you I see a blur of motion almost as if you are contemplating numerous things at once and each have an equal probability of happening. What are you anyway?" He looked up at her as he sat and waited for her response.

Diala watched him, listened to him and as well, noticed the guards heading their way, the very same ones she’d though about interrupting, though that motion would now be taken away from her intended movements.
“Yes, but do we honestly care that they will pass us by without even taking notice?” She then stated, definitely more of a statement than a question. She had now made it so that anyone would ignore the both of them, wanted peace in her conversation without having to kill a guard to make her point clear, she had opted for the less aggressive motion.
“As to what you are, I have heard of your kind before, have killed a few as well, but that was only because they thought they would best me.” She gave another half laugh. “Imagine, thinking one might be able to take a fully trained Unchained, arrogance does indeed have its price I would suppose.” She then stated, giving him his answer in her statement. “You do seem quite talented though, I was watching you enter the gates, your movements are quite quick. I think you might be worthy of life.” She then finished with a wink at the man.
Diala was an Unchained, that meant she was neither evil or good, she was a total neutral, living her life her own way, she could be friendly ot most unfriendly it all depended on the way people took her, how they reacted to her, and of course, rather they were a Necromancer or not.

He smiled and looked up at her, "Them ignoring us must be your doing. If they saw me it would be fun to say the least." He stood up then on the crenellation and took a step over the edge and stood off the side and looked up at her in her scant clad body. This is a much better view of her in the light provided with the fires glow on her black hood and cape. As mean and onry as she is she looks good orange. He had begun now to totally disregard her movements and focus on her body past the shadows. So as not to be so confused in what he was seeing.
He looked at her as she winked at him and took it for what it seemed to be. She was playing with him how nice. At least he knew he would not die at this moment.
"Unchained you say. I am afraid I do not know much about you. Although you do seem something to be fear or respected however you want to look at it. It was aside from our initial meeting very nice meeting you Diala, and I am sure the pleasure was all mine," he said as he returned her wink and stood up to leave, "I need to be on my way if you don't mind? If you would like to talk again I am sure you can find me." He smiled then and waited for her reply.

Diala smiled, a sort of action not all to practiced but at times was brought forward. “Yes, it is my doing, as you state it might have been fun, but not too, humans are an easy target and often times too easy. I think you might be in a bit of a hurry so opted to forego any unpleasantness of their sort.” She then told him, looking over her shoulder at the men patrolling the gate.
She took note of how he looked over her but paid it little head. He found something to focus his mind on that wouldn’t be making too many moves all at once so she shrugged it off.
“I am certain our paths will cross again, Zach and perhaps the next time we will be working together. Give Kalista my regards.” She said in way of a farewell. “I have other things to attend to, and like I have already stated, you don’t wish to be late for your meeting with the Queen, so good night for now.” She finished, turning away from him and then dropping over the side of the great wall, and disappearing from sight 200 feet below.

As she fell out of sight Zach shrugged, "Bye...." He said into the air and then he too dropped from the wall falling until he was at roof height and then kicking off from the wall. His feet bringing up a cloud of dust off the wall as he kicked it and flug himself upward to slow his fall and out so he could land quietly on the nearest roof and head to the inn get his room and bathe before meeting Kalista in the gardens.
