Ryan the Dreaded: The feared pirate from Spain

Attacking

Cadwalader Owain Jones: The Welsh Great Captain.

Prologue
Celina is meandering down some of the hallways, trying to find something to do; with their hosts watching them, there was little they could do but wait and fight. She hears someone prancing down the hallway and grimaces. There was only one person who walked like that, and meeting him was never fun.

“And noooww… the lying orphan is here!”

Celina took a step back, as if struck. She was prepared for his usual insanity, but this was different.

“Yes, yes… the dominating event. Everyone killed by… by… BEES! Yes, bees on horses. With FIRE!! LOTS OF FIRE!!!”

Celina took another step back, eyes growing wide with horror. The events of that day flashed before her eyes, as the remembered feeling of helplessness soaked in.

“But that’s just one part… What was the other? The bees? Mephistopheles?.. Oh, yes, the army. You always thought they betrayed you by kicking you out. But you made them ride horses! On those weird, creepy creatures! That’s a more basic betrayal of trust than disguising yourself!”

Celina ran off, not wanting to deal with the madman any more than she had to. She also had a past to drown in alcohol.

Austonio watched her go, and then pranced off to find his cat. Nicholas was yelling about some horses this time; he had to be saved.
