OOC: Sorry for the long gaps in posting. I took up this story line with Ranholn when my my RP platter was relatively empty*. Since then RP events have unfolded leaving me little to know time to give this story the proper attention. My apologies to all involved.
*For those not in the know, Gaulasia, Inglo-Scotia, and the Democratic States of America are one in the same.
IC:
Bombs exploded across the sky, the Gaulasian soldiers on the ground were holding the advancing Inrotian legions in the capital's suburbs, but the lines could only hold for so long.
Premier Carnot looked up to the sky. The sun was just about to set, or so it should be. He couldn't tell, smoke and ash gave the city an eerie overcast feel.
The Varkour blackhawk landed on the royal palace's helicopter pad as three more circled the perimeter. Carnot, his cabinet, the elite of the royal guard, and the royal family rushed into the waiting chopper.
The last royal guard lowered the three flags of Gaulasisa, the blue national banner, and the two white banners, one the royal standard, the other the war flag.
King Louis XX, who's family had ruled Gaulasia for 300 years hesitated before boarding the blackhawk.
"Your Majesty, we have to leave now!" Carnot yelled over the soundtrack of war as well as the chopper's blades.
"This...it's not right Louis responded, as if by just hoping he could expel the Inrotians from Gaulasia.
"Your Highness, if you stay, and if you're killed, this nation dies! Leave so you can see Gaulasia reborn latter!"
Louis took one last look around, taking in the scenery of the royal palace. Holding back a river's worth of tears he boarded the chopper, it's door closed by a Varkour commando.
