Forgotten: No one can escape. A great flash emerged above all of Aronia leaving each with short term memory loss. Years lost to the fog of amnesia. Can no one recall? That appears to be the case. Whom or what is responsible? Panic has stricken the globe. Will civilization collapse? What will emerge from the reset? Only time will tell. To each citizen of Aronia from the Global Gazette, we wish all luck.
Welcome to Aronia. We hope you enjoy your visit.

As soon as the words were said, Sabre nodded, a grave expression spreading across her face. "Yes, Majesty." Moving quickly to her chair, she opened a drawer in the table next to it, producing some parchment and an inkpen. Small equations, a compass rose and a very crude outline of the city all found themselves being scrawled across the piece of scratch paper as she quickly divided the town's guard into different sections.

The Queen and Alain were gone by the time she looked up from her papers. Looking to the smaller of the two wolves still in the shop, she made her way over to him. She handed him one copy of the numbers she'd written down and quickly explained to him what it meant. Thank god for their amazing memories, she thought to herself.

"Alright. So, there will be 6 groups in the City itself. One set of guards is 50 men. So, one set will patrol the lower portions of the castle. Two sets of guards will then man each of these next sections - the Midnite district, the Crown district, the Farming district and the Market district. One set in the Crown district will remain in the castle at all times, and a few of its members will stay with the Queen and the Priestess AT ALL TIMES." She sent the wolf a slight glare at this, remembering what the Queen had said earlier about how there'd been no wolves outside the Priestess' door.

"Now, outside the castle, there will be 8 sets. I will go with one. Again, each set will comprise of 50 men. Two will go North, two East, two South and two West. Not hard, right? Did you get all of that? This copy is for you to give to your superior. Get it? Got it? Good. Now go. Hurry. I want to leave as soon as I'm ready. And I'll be ready very soon."

The wolf nodded and, with a slight bow, rushed from the room. Outside, Sabre could hear the howl as he called to the guards all around the city. If they didn't hear with their ears, they'd hear with their minds.

Turning to the other wereguard, she motioned for him to stay where he was. Without looking for a look of acknowledgment, Sabre flew to the back room again, letting the door slam shut. She murmured to the hidden door and it opened obediently. At the top of the steps, she leapt into the darkness, murmuring once again so that she fell slowly once she was a few feet from the ground, landing lightly.

"Kael!"

Her dress slipped from her lithe form, putting itself onto an empty table as she quickly began pulling on tan leggings and a black tunic. Two pairs foot cloths went under her knee high leather boots, protecting her feet from the wet should it seep through her nice boots. Her armor was pulled on next, the leather dyed a deep forest green. Finishing strapping the shoulders and chest piece on, she then grabbed her swords from the belt sitting on the table beside her dress. Kael appeared next to her and nuzzled her elbow as if antsy to get going. He knew what was going on and was anxious to run.

Pulling herself up into the saddle gracefully, she kicked Kael's sides and the pair dashed off into the darkness...

...only to appear in the front room of her store. The wolf there growled momentarily, until he realized who was there. "Go," she murmured to him and he took off out the door. She had to duck her head as Kael dashed through the door, but she was right on the wolf's heels towards the castle. The door slammed shut behind her and she knew it was locked. Hopefully the first wolf she'd sent had gotten most of the guards gathered by now.

When she arrived at the front of the castle, Kael foaming slightly at the mouth and chomping hard on his bit, she was impressed with how quickly the guards had formed up into groups. The wolf she'd been running with joined up with one group just as a wolf with her parchment leapt to her side.

"City groups got sent out," he told her in his gruff, canine voice. "These groups to go outside with Lady." She nodded and, with a motion of her hand, sent two groups off towards the North exit, four towards the South (two of those groups would then wrap around to the West) and two to the main gate. She dashed off with that last set. When they all exited the gate, she gave the order to spread themselves somewhat so that they could all just move forward, searching each and every inch of the forest meticulously.
Wash: I think they really captured his essence.
Kaylee: He looks kinda mean.
Wash: That's sorta what I meant.
Simon: This must be what going mad feels like.
Kaylee: Everywhere I go, his eyes keep followin' me...

OOC Note: I'm moving this thread outside the city, because, well... it takes place outside the city from this point on. :P
