Lord Blackheart : had been pacing about the Elf Song tavern, the man still getting some strange looks from the patrons, though he was getting used to it. It was not likely they would see anyone so young in there for a long time, most of those inside, save for the barkeep being much older in appearance than he was. Still, he kept glancing over towards a group of mercenaries shouting claims, or hollering job offers for those interested. Alan kept his eyes on the silent man who took his seat near the back of the tavern's rear door. Not a word was said by the man, until Sean had made his way over to him to take his order for a drink, or perhaps a meal. Nodding, the raven haired man would raise his face, violet blue eyes giving off a faint glow in the dim lighting. "Just some breaded chicken for me, and spiced potato coins." He nodded, his voice almost hushed as he spoke. "Anything to drink?" Sean inquired, the man nodding yet again. "Have you got any berry and vanilla fizz?" He asked, Sean leaving to check the kitchen.
Tashial : She had not even known or realized that anything had happened other then a lot of magics were being used. She was used to such things in these lands for it was not the first time she had felt that sort of thing. Plus she stayed in the Castle in Felgrande but mostly in the underground facilities where she practiced her magical arts. There were rooms there that she could go to and practice to her hearts delight. She had thought though that this day she would go out and actually go get something to eat. She had been to the Elf Song Tavern at least once or twice and thought it would be good to go there again. Dressed in her grey robes with the silvery sheen of runes upon the sleeves, hem, collar and even up the front of the robe... with small black boots on. She then headed out and teleported herself to the Tavern... or just outside of it. Stepping up with her hands gripping the middle of her robes and then stepping within to get a good look on who was there this morning. She smiled when she would see Damien and headed on over to him. A bow at her waist as she asked softly... "May I join you Lord Damien?" ~
RаⱴyɳღBlаçᶄḩԑаяȶ : Blaze had left her in her bed chambers and even this morning she wasn't awakening, it wasn't because of the spell or the happenings of the Ouroboros last night, it was simply because with everything going on she forgot to feed. Thankfully daddy always paid attention, not always around, but there when one was in trouble. Her bedroom floor would start cracking slightly as a couple of minions from hell crawled out snarling, one of them holding a bloodied bag, the other one to assist. Sniffing around they saw the body of Ravyn laying on her bed with the Willful Seer on her lap. They climbed up her sheets and looked at her face, yep that was the princess they were looking for. So the one pinched her nose and forced her mouth open by her chin while the other opened the bag and started pulling out these shiny looking rock candy things, the soul candies. He would drop about three or four in her mouth while the other minion forced her mouth shut. Soon as they were swallowed down those rainbow eyes of hers shot open. She looked at the two minions and hissed wildly and the bowed and cowered before moving slowly off the bed, she speaking on a demonic language to them sending a message to her father before they nodded and hopped back into the hole of hell where they belonged. She got up and stretched speaking out. "Took you long enough father..." She said with a chuckle and went into the bathing chambers. Washed herself up, her face, snapped her fingers, new clothes were on which consisted of a simple cream colored dress and bare feet before she exited from her bed chambers looking for.....well signs that they were back where they should be with the Willful Seer in hand in case she had to go for round two. "I have a certain scaly I must speak too..." She said hissing between words as rainbow orbs glanced at her surroundings heading downstairs. <e>
Błãzē_Ðåřķвłãđē : He would feel that lovely piece of creature awakening and he sighed slightly... he had been watching the lands become destroyed.. all but Crimson's Tower and Felgrande City. It would seem that another had gotten to Lord Damien Blackheart before the city could be destroyed. he would lift up and soon enough he would be out of the Cavern but with the Starr Crystal relaying everything to himself and to the first six of the Tiers. Appearing before Ravyn or at least a few feet from her with a tilting of his head and looking a tad tired as well. "Morning..." ~
ᴥAthḛnᴧBlọọdHeartᴥ : [[ Had the creature retreated back to the confinements of her flesh ? Was it put back into the box? Was the box locked tightly? Not yet.. She had eventually exhausted herself by attempting to destroy the lab about one hundred different ways. Only to have her body collapsed on the floor. Surrounded by bit of flesh. Blood and bones. Her eyes struggled between the bright violet color.. and onyx black. Her hair was fanned out along the floor. Athena licked her lower lip. Tasting the blood stain that remained. She sighed softly and rolled to the side. A first time she had moved in about eighteen hours. Her body somewhat screamed in protest. Where was Ehden..? Did he managed to escape from her clutches? There was a patch of fur resting close to her. Did that belong to the cuddly polar bear?... She reached her hand out and grasped the half mangled body of a small jack rabbit. Her fingers wrapped around the small skull. Crushing it within her hand. Blood and brain matter oozed out from her hand. She moved her hand up towards her lips. Licking the ooze up. Her face slightly rolling with disgust. " What I wouldn't give for a virgin........"She hissed.[[D]]
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : was still asleep on Darius this morning. Her head on his chest, under the blankets, she didn't want to be anywhere else. She had no idea of the going ons last night and she was doing what daddy told her to do, stay with Darius, she just wasn't sure if staying with Darius in the capacity she was is what daddy meant, but too late now. She was in love, he said he loved her, that's all that mattered. She knew that Damon was probably going to be coming soon with all the mess that has happened. there was a knock on her door which caused her to shoot her head up. She blinked and looked down at Darius and kissed him on the lips before sitting up and tightening her dress before moving over to the door making sure she was presentable and opened the door, it was a guard. He explained to her the situation and it was indeed grim He told her about Crimson and what transpired and she was in shock. Why would he attack her kingdom in such a way, she didn't know he had that kind of power. "Let me get presentable, I will be down soon....get me the remaining council members short of Elris..." She explained and shut the door. The guard left and she sighed heavily going to her closet and picking out another gown. "I need to find him...." She said and carried her gown to the bathing chamber...if Darius wanted to join her, he was more then welcome..<e>
·Izzy· : *had stayed in the ballroom all night, and had got an element of sleep sitting against a wall, but not exactly a lot. It was the same fitful, short bursts as ever. It seemed the best idea, really. Why? She didn't entirely know. As if she ever thought ANYTHING out too far in advance. Izzy seemed to just follow her instincts. An eye opening slowly, she glanced down at the bottle by a side in a hand, picking it up and glancing down the neck and sighing. Damn. Empty. Letting her head fall back to lean against the wall, she closed silvery grey eyes for a few moments, before an arm raised in front of her and stretched with a couple of rather satisfying pops from the elbow and shoulder, doing the same with the other a moment or two later. She was still trying to piece together everything that happened, and was still very much in defense mode, mentally. Oddly, she was still relatively outwardly calm, too. That could never bode well.*
ƉŞҏέɭɭɱᾶƙέя : \\ He had slowly awoken from the daze of sleep. His eyelids flipped open as he glanced towards Gisselle. She spoke lightly and could tell by the way her body had tensed up..something had happened. So he slowly sat up and pushed the covers off. He reached for his discarded pants and slipped them back on. Pushed his feet into his boots and headed towards Gisselle. His cold fingers slipped over her shoulders. His mouth pressed into the mark upon the left side of her neck. " Much too Early.. for mates to be leaving bed..." He whispered softly against her warm flesh. His lips brushed up along her earlobe. " But I shall forgive you this once. Something happened while we were busy". He sighed softly and lifted his head up. " My father should make an appearance sometime soon... little mate.." //d//
Lord Blackheart : noted the bow at her waist, and nodded, gesturing for her to take a seat with him, the man remaining silent still, as Sean returned back with the meal and drink he had ordered. "For you, miss?" Sean tilted his head when he noticed the Elf taking a bow towards the man, Alan still keeping his eyes on the silent one. It was not that he couldn't be trusted, but rather the man kept mostly to his self, speaking only when spoken to, and often remained humble, yet dignified when in the presence of others, an admirable trait to the rest of the lands, but when paired with a place such as the Elf Song tavern, it often caused others to take notice. He would reach for the jade cutlery that was brought to him, the man slicing the coined potatoes so he could better eat them as he waited for his student to take her seat, if she so desired to. "Apologies for meeting in a place such as this, but I figured let you see every part of these lands." He whispered. "Where there is darkness, there is always a light as well."
Tashial : She did not mind the place for she was drow looking and mostly was left alone... mostly. When she was asked what she wanted she would look on over to Damien's food and smiled as she would slowly sit opposite of her Mentor.. "I will have what he is having but a pint of honey meade, please?" she glanced around the Tavern only to then look on back to Damien once more. "It is alright. I was beginning to wonder if you had forgotten me. It has been a bit of time since we had spoken. I do not mind though it gave me the opportunity to practice my arts." smiling a bit more while watching Damien and being very attentive to what he may say next.~
ℛаⱴyɳღBlаçᶄḩԑаяȶ : smiled and pressed her lips on Blaze, feeding him some of her energy once again before breaking it and speaking out. "Morning my scaly play date..." She said with a chuckle and poked his ribs a little bit as she continued to speak out. "So....the demons from hell gave me my candy....I am all better now......just used too much and wasn't eating like i was suppose too heh..." She said with a chuckle as she took his hands and vanished with him into the nursery to check on the kids. She saw they were still sleeping but stirring as she waved a hand over the four babies and put them back asleep just for a little while longer. "They do not need to see whats going on right now. "She tucked in Hana and Raven kissing them on the cheeks and checked on the other two to make sure they were comfortable. "Aren't they so cute......so innocent, I can't remember the last time I was that innocent..." She said with a chuckle.. "Though I can remember transforming into one of them and how startled they were. It was soo adorable..." She said standing up and pointing to Hana and Raven.. "Those are my babies..." <e>
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : shuddered a little bit, feeling his hands on her shoulders and his lips on her mark. It felt good, just something she was going to have to get used to again, which would come soon enough since her heart was fixed again. "Never too early for a Queen my love.....and as a Queen I have duties to attend too....I must speak with Crimson.....he is the cause I must find out why......this does not make sense..." She said in frustration, she had been nothing but kind to the creature.....why would he hurt her in such a way.." She started the bath and slowly started stripping her mate of his clothes before stripping herself and had him come with her to the waters. It was a large spa like bath as she swam to him taking the soaps and the cloth and started cleansing his chest, his shoulders, taking care of him like she would her mate she loved ever so much. Kissing him on the neck and cheek here and there. "I think my father is going to be very happy about us, I know I am..." She said with a warm smile as she continued to clean him up. <e>
Błãzē_Ðåřķвłãđē : He nodded to her and kissed her lips back only to then allow her magics to wash over his body... which by the way shivered when she fed him a bit of energy... He then realized where they were and sighed as he remembered his own children at that age. "They are adorable just as their mother is pretty. I have been watching from the Starr Crystal. Though the lands are ravaged greatly... we can return but we have not taken down the threat as of yet and I do not believe it to be a wise thing to bring the lands back to such... uncertainty. Next time I and or another may not have the time it would take to make sure the Starr Crystal takes us to safety... or even the energy to do so. I mean... look at what happened to us just this time." he grimaced slightly~
Lord Blackheart : listened to the maiden, though also to the job offers, and claims being made by the others standing about. It really was no place for children, just as many had told him, though the raven haired man with the glowing eyes seemed to stand out from the rest. Sean would nod, and make his way to the kitchen again, though as he did, the man would issue a smile towards his student. "I'd never forget about you." He whispered, those violet blue eyes almost distracted, but he was just observing his surroundings.
Tashial : She watched him for a moment before she would tilt her head and fold her arms over her small bosom... "Nah I guess you would not but you are awfully distracted. Are those over there... disturbing you? If so I am sure I could get rid of them... Sir Damien." she grinned in a mischievous manner and even chuckled softly. "I think I have it down pat for the Arcane and Divine... I mean putting them together but I guess you would wish me to show you... yes?" glancing to where her Master's gaze was and grimaced ~
ℛаⱴyɳღBlаçᶄḩԑаяȶ : grinned after all the children in the Nursery were tucked into their beds, which was more then the four, other staff had children's too the nursery watched over, and if it was one thing Ravyn loved it was children. She stood up and spoke out. "Nimena, myself and my father are the three that carry the Willfull Seer, you concentrate on your crystal my love....you leave the rest of the lands to us....we can restore it to where it once was.....but I do not have the strength to return us to the realm.. otherwise my will be done right now, but I do have the strength to transfer to the rest of the lands on my own and fix it before the castle returns to its proper place.....what is it you wish me to do my handsome man?" She said as she placed her hands on his chest rubbing his chest a little bit and kissed his chin awaiting his response. <e>
ƉŞҏέɭɭɱᾶƙέя : \\ He chuckled softly and rolled his shoulders. The pants were stripped from his body and the boots tossed across the floor. He stepped in with her and felt the hot water rush over his aching muscles. His fingers brushed the little curl of her hair away from her shoulders. Pressing a small kiss against her cheek. The soap coated over his chest and shoulders. " I have a feeling.. He and I will need to speak privately.." It wasn't that his father would disapprove. It was.. just going to be messy with him. He scrubbed his face. Splashing water over his face. He was not.. looking forward to that conversation at all. He licked his lower lip in thought. Distracted. He was plotting out his moves carefully.. Even D didn't know what his father could be capable of. Sighing softly, he pulled Gisselle into a tight hug. " As much as I want to shut out the world.. and pretend nothing can touch us.. we both have a duty to do..."//e//
Błãzē_Ðåřķвłãđē : he furrowed his brows slightly and bit his lower lip. "You just do what you need to do... I will keep watch but I myself can teleport to you if you are in need of help. Just.... still be careful. I like my toys to be safe and sound." he winked and chuckled softly as he looked to the children once more and then started to head back to the Starr Crystal once more.~
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : nodded and sighed heavily. "If your father is upset of you with me I will tell your father it is my fault, this is what I wanted and I will stand between you two.....rather he likes it or not, I respect him very much, but I love you and I will get in the way..." There was no telling her no, once her mind was set that was it. she cleaned up herself and washed her hair. Kissing him on the lips passionately and standing up getting a towel to dry herself off she handed him one and started to get dressed into her new clean gown and undergarments. She would leave her hair down and wet combing it a bit as she looked to him. "Well, I am going to find the cause of the problem love.....I don't know where were at. Or if he is here...but I must find him..." She explained as she put her comb down and started moving to the balcony placing her large cloak on her shoulders. <e>
Lord Blackheart : merely shook his head when she mentioned she could take care of them for him, the man's attention now on her as she spoke. Before he got his chance to speak though, Sean returned from the kitchen with her meade and her food, setting the both in front of her with a nod. "Anything else for you two?" He inquired, the man shaking his head with a gesture that said to stop where he was. "If I wanted them taken care of, they would no longer be standing here with us." He chuckled, though he kept his voice low.
Tashial : She would thank Sean and then started to eat up her meal... almost as if she had not eaten in a few days... well it sort of felt like that for she would spend hours upon hours in the training rooms. She was not a fickle individual when it came to training something new, to her. She was constantly at it till she felt it was to perfection and THEN she only hoped her Teacher would think so as well. She did sigh though when she was told to just leave the others alone. "You are... alerted about something and if it is not them... then who? You know I will help where I can, Sir Damien." she did indeed note the difference in him this morning and wondered if what she felt a day or so ago had to do with it.~
ℛаⱴyɳღBlаçᶄḩԑаяȶ : smiled and spoke out. "Do not fret pet.....even if I do die, I just come right back, I have done it quite a few times, painful process, but I never go away forever..." She said with a chuckle kissing his cheek. "Protect my children and family here.....Gisselle will always be family, after all her two right there are my grandchildren.....I will handle....butthead on the other side..." She said with a wink and poof she went back to the Original Eladrin Lands. Appearing at the edge of the forgotten forest, smelling the scent of dead flesh and irony blood and guts all around she narrowed her eyebrows. "No, no, no....this is my old home...this WILL NOT DO!!" She was not happy one bit...She could see the hole where Eladrin Castle one stood and she was getting severely depressed. ~Father I am fixing this......they broke my rainbows and sunshine place..~ Which was the forest. She pulled out her Willfull Seer once again. Setting it on the ground. She wondered how many times she could use this thing before it finally cracked. Either case she was going to do it again...... heaven help the one that gets in her way... "Darkness has befallen this place....Sadness has struck my face....I know you cannot fix it all, but clean this up before I fall...." The mirror started rising up once again probably ready to zap her ass for over use.. It didn't cause she might like it, but did as it was asked. It wasn't strong enough right now to bring the warded castle and cities back to its rightful place, but the carnage here it could fix right away. The entire lands save for Felgrande and Crimson labs were touched with a bright prismatic light. The Blood, the Guts, the carnage, the devastation, seemed to be eaporating like a fine mist, leaving behind everything as she once remembered it, the trees, the creatures, the beautiful landscapes. The land after the attack has been restored. Save for the castle's rightful place which she frowned. "Well I can't do everything all the time..." She said with a heavy sigh and a yawn stretch. When it was all fixed she picked up her mirror and put it back in its Satchel looking around. "OHH OROBOROS?
Where are you hiding?" She called out curiously looking about to find him.. Ravyn had finished with the spell, she restored everything and everyone before the attack occurred. Age was so exhausted she couldn't see straight but redirected the message from her father and sighed. "Yea well..I'd rather try then watch" she said slightly with a hiss add she moved about the forest. She didn't have the energy right now to return to the castle but she could feel she pissed off whom ever was the cause of the bloodshed. She finally after a couple of hours found her cave, some beats took it over and she let out a roar that echoed wildly. The bears took off and she crawled in going to sleep in her corner warding her scent from the cave so the enemy wouldn't look there while she was down.<e>
Błãzē_Ðåřķвłãđē : would see this through the Starr Crystal and with one sighing breath he would at her side with a hand stuck into the ground and the other upon her cheek as he would slowly siphon energy from the very core of this planet to feed it directly to her. It being of the very earth he knew that she would be able to handle it. "Ssshhhh rest my lover... I told you I will not allow you to fall." he smiled as a fur went underneath of then and he laid out behind her with another coming over them both to keep them warm~
Lord Blackheart : heaved a sigh as she spoke yet again. He was worried it would start showing more often, and by this point, it was more likely that he stood out, because of his precise movements, and his attention moving between those about. It almost gave the impression he was seeking out targets, but it was not the case. Swallowing a piece of chicken, he would shift his attention over to his student again. "I am alert because my family has made these lands their home as well, and I can feel something else trying to overtake them." He informed her with a nod, the man's voice still hushed, but he was much more direct, and to the point than if he were not in his current state of mind. "They are being crushed by a creature of immense energy, and if we do not figure out a way to stop it, they would disappear just as the castle had." He informed, the man now grasping the knife, and after a few fluid motions between his fingers, would carve off another slice of his chicken. "My son's even been acting strangely as well."
Tashial : she listened to his words and the way he was acting only to come to one conclusion... "You are like Xianka then?" she asked lightly as she took down a bit of her meade and then continued to eat her meal. She had never tasted food like this before or at least not in her lands she had not. She then put her fork down and licked her lips slightly. "I am not quite sure when I felt an immense strength of power but is that from whom you speak of? The one that your children and these lands are afraid of?" asking as she was trying to gain information about what was going on... "Maybe if I did a bit of research I can find a weakness in whatever this thing is?"~
ℛаⱴyɳღBlаçᶄḩԑаяȶ : She turned around when she felt energy being fed into her, wasn't energy she particularity liked but it was energy none the less. She giggled hearing what he said as she looked up speaking out. "I didn't fall down I plopped down till i got more energy, had to restore a lot of life, someone is doing sverige on these lands, a lot of them..lot of souls, Reaper was not happy" She said with a heavy sigh as she cuddled against him.
Błãzē_Ðåřķвłãđē : looked down to her and smiled with a nuzzling of his face into her neck... "shh... no need to speak.. I had seen all that you had done and I am here to bring you back up to where you need to be." he lifted his free hand to brush along the opposite cheek, from where he was laying with her and then leaned down to kiss her lips lightly but he would not keep it there as he would feel that she was still pretty weak.~
Lord Blackheart : nodded heavily. His past was always a touchy subject for the company he kept, for he was never quite sure how others would take the frightening news. "You can say it, and yes." He admitted with a nod, taking another slice of potato to his lips. "I was once an assassin, and scout for whoever paid me the best." He shrugged, though now that she knew, he was unsure about whether she would be afraid of him, or like many others, wished to learn those kinds of tricks, as well as the current lessons he taught to them. It was not always an easy life to live, or even to get into, but there were often pieces of this past that gave it away from time to time. "Yes." He spoke once more. "These surges of energy are from that very threat, and the more we can find out about it, the better chance we have of ensuring my family's safety." He admitted with a lowering of his face as he finished his meal. "I have not been able to keep a close enough contact with my son, or even his wife, to see if they're still with us."
Tashial : She nodded her head and smiled with just a little bit of apprehensiveness to it... "I am glad that I know but I only wish to learn what I am learning from you now. As for the information of this beast... what is it that you name it... one that is so... extremely powerful. It is almost or is like it is a god like creature." she was trying to just relax but the very thought of a god like creature... other then Sir Damien and his family around AND causing havoc... it did not bode well in her mind.~
ℛаⱴyɳღBlаçᶄḩԑаяȶ : She grinned as she bit his lower lip after he kissed her. "You keep being charming and I'll be up and on you in no time...how are my children and the castle?" She couldn't help herself. She didn't take orders well especially when it came to being quiet. She was a bit weak but she was in lust too and it was all his fault. "You have come to me a lot lately, problems with others in your harem?" She said jokingly with a bit of a devilish grin.
Błãzē_Ðåřķвłãđē : He chuckled softly and groaned a bit only to keep feeding her the earthen energies he was collecting for her. "You... need to take it easy right now or I will be sure to put you to sleep till you recover your energy." he smirked and had a bit of a warning in his tone... "They are both alright and so is the Kingdom... now... relax."~
Lord Blackheart : heaved a sigh of relief when she smiled, and even more so when she spoke of still keeping to her lessons with him. "We call it Crimson as its name, though it has spoken another name to me, which is Oroboros." He informed her with a nod. "The infinity serpent, and the dragon of chaos itself." He began, reciting what he had learned of the beast when he was small. "Before I could look more into it though, I left, to explore what we now know as the web of reality, and the threads of time." He sighed slowly.
Tashial : she furrowed her brows and then smiled slightly... "time... Master... you can travel through time... back and forth... can you not? What if you picked up on the time line from this creature and went back to it's very creation and or where it was at it's weakest to see what exactly would show what it is weak against? I mean it would be faster then me returning home and trying to look through so many pages or going to that library you just mentioned and trying to find it there... would it not?" she asked with a light smile as she just thought of that and it would be a more precise action to go against this.... Oroborus.~!
ℛаⱴyɳღBlаçᶄḩԑаяȶ : "Depending on how you put me to sleep I may defy you on purpose.." She said with a sheepish grin as she laid her head back down on his chest, she couldn't help herself, she was the rainbow child of the family, always into mischief, and causing mischief, it was genetics, what could one say? Blaze stuck his pecker in crazy the day he decided she was going to be a new play thing. She draped a leg over his and snuggled under the blanket of fur placing her hand on his chest. "I must rest your right, I have a murderer to murder.." age said quietly chuckling.
Błãzē_Ðåřķвłãđē : snuggled her even more and only chuckled softly with a kiss to her lips. Yeah he may have stuck her that first day but so far he has not regretted it... so far. "mmm aye that we do but for right now... you rest and I shall watch over you." his hand upon her head and he would kiss the top of her head as he would think of Gaerynth and hoped that he was alright. He even linked with him and chuckled softly as he got the image of him bathing in one of the underground springs.~
Lord Blackheart : nodded, though he would merely keep his face lowered, until he was through with his meal. "Indeed it would be a faster way, though I would prefer a more extensive research." He informed, once more as direct, and precise as he kept speaking. "What if the creature came here to explore, and I just wipe it out of existence?" He reminded her with a heavy sigh. "What if this creature is not even aware of the power it holds?" He inquired. "We must notice every fine detail, before deciding on our next actions."
Tashial : she nodded her head only to widen her eyes a bit... "Oh no.. .I was not thinking of like killing the creature for we do not know exactly what is up with it or anything... maybe seal it away so that it can not cause harm as it is doing now." she smiled again as she finished off her meal. "While I do my research into the books... you can see along it's timeline to see if there is a weakness... not to kill it though... just to... uhm immobilize it or something so that we can seal it away or something like that." she was coming up with ideas but his mind was still only in one mode... assassin mode. or so it would seem~
ℛаⱴyɳღBlаçᶄḩԑаяȶ : She could feel him chuckling when she almost had her eyes closed. She let out a soft sigh. It was nice playing with him age would right now but in her state he might very well kick her ass for trying. So she played good girl tonight, shut her ass up for a change and after a few moments she was out like a light draped over him. The kids were safe, lands were safe, Castle was safe, Daddy was proud with a lecture...hells who could ask for more?
Błãzē_Ðåřķвłãđē : He just continued to feed her and watch over the beauty he had upon his chest. even bringing his temperature up just slightly to keep the cold outside of the furs and even that of the cave. "sleep well my lovely..." he whispered ~
Lord Blackheart : tilted his head as she spoke of her plan, Sean returning back to collect their dishes, though once more, he held up his hand as though to say stop. "Leave my drink, I'm not done with it yet." He informed, Sean nodding as he returned back to the kitchen with the rest of the dishes, save for the drinks. "Now that sounds like a great idea." He began. "If we can find out what is most effective against it, we may be able to keep it stable long enough to get information from it as well, should we need any."
Tashial : she blinks and sighs softly as she was not one to usually question her Master but "Uhm well... I was just thinking that well... we may be able to find it's weakness and or a spell to seal it away. We really probably should not leave it out too much longer then it already has... I mean... unless you are wanting to do so.. Sir." she bit her lower lip only to then pick her mug up to take a long pull from her meade for again she only hoped that well... she was not over stepping herself. She then put a few coins onto the table and looked to Damien once more. "I should head back to my homeland if I am to start research on this creature. Unless you have another place I could do so?" asking lightly~
Lord Blackheart : couldn't help but chuckle a little at how eager she was to get started on finding out about the beast, though it was here, when he would nod his head. "There is a library back in Felgrande, and another in the castle there, which may have what you seek." He informed her as she stood from her place. "I could even open a passage to the space between as I had before, so you may study without distraction." He suggested, though which offer she would take, he was patient, but also very eager to hear from her.
Tashial : she looked to him and nodded with excitement... "I would like the latter... if you please, Master Blackheart. I kinda.. like that place. So serene and quiet."
It was here that one or two of the mercs were looking towards Damien's and her table and especially after hearing her say... Master to the younger looking male. One of the males even started to arise but then another of his buddies shook his head. The first arched a brown brow and looked to the golden eyed male... grimacing he would sit back down and just grumble about "No Fun..."
The golden eyed male only smirked slightly. "Trust me... you do not wish to mess with that male over there." he winked at the first male and then glanced on back to Damien with a raising of his own mug of ale.
Tashial : tilted her head as she had noted the movement from the one male only to be shut down swiftly by another... "Do you know them, Damien? the one seems to know you." she asked in a curious tone.~
Lord Blackheart : watched as two of the patrons whispered back and forth to one another, his own pointed ears moving to better listen in, though it would seem he was saved by the other man. "Sadly, one of them is a member of a different organization then I was from." He admitted, noting the gilded orbs, and the manner in which he would carry his self. "Most from that clan knew me as someone they could ask for assistance from, but many often saw me, and would try and hassle me for a free sparring match." It didn't work this time, since another man had stopped him as he was about to make his way over, the gilded eyed individual returning to his seat. Standing from his own, he would make his way towards the front of the tavern, his hand reaching out, to gently touch on his student's left shoulder. "If you still remember the motions, and the spell to take you there, I will see you later on." He informed her with a low nod. "If you don't, I will open the passage, so you can enter inside, and visit the library it holds."
Tashial : she looked over to the males then up to Damien once more... "No.. I remember the sigils and such." she nodded and arose as well from her own seat. She then lowered her head towards Damien as she too made her way out from the Tavern. "I shall see you there, Master." her words softly delivered to his ears so that he would be the only one to hear them and as soon as she was outside she headed towards Felgrande but in actuality she was going to stop in a forested part of her trip and do her thing to get to the passage of the space between... then go to the library there. She was sure that it was more extensive then the library any place on this plane would hold.~
Lord Blackheart : nodded, and saw her off with a cautious embrace, the man's attention constantly shifting to his surroundings as he did, violet blue eyes then closing as he draped his arms over her shoulders. "I will see you in a few days." He nodded, as he was sure that much time would give her the needed research, though, if she desired more after that, he was happy to oblige. As she turned to leave, he would return back inside, and seat his self at the table they had been at before, the man slowly taking a drink.
Tashial : She returned the hug... tentavily for she was not used to such... close touchings. She had gained his trust though for she knew he would not have done this act if she had not. She then nodded and left to do what was needing to be done...
When Damien returned to his seat he would note that the first male out of the two had vanished though and the second golden eyed male only sighed and shrugged his shoulders... "Damn it Boris!" he would exclaim under his breath. He knew where the male had disappeared to and with a grimacing to see that Damien had returned to the tavern instead of staying with the female... he growled and swiftly headed to the closest of shadows to try and stop his comrade from doing something.... totally stupid~
Lord Blackheart : continued on with his drink until it was through, though it was here, after he had swallowed the last drop, that he could hear the whispered words from the gilded eyed man. Heaving a low sigh, he would rise from his seat, his body tensed from the thoughts of what the two of them would do. These lands were his home, and he was going to protect them as best he could. Silently, he would make his way into the forest, using the trees, and brush as cover so he would not be seen. As he approached a tree to use as cover for his self, he could hear the men from the tavern speaking to one another, his student not very far away. Just as silent as when he'd been walking, he heaved a slow, inaudible sigh before removing his breaths completely. Even his blood had stopped flowing through his body, his heart at a still. He moved behind the tree, the man glancing out a few times, to check on his student, if she had done the passage correctly, and gotten out of harm's way. To many, it would seem the men were alone.
Tashial : she was on her last bit of sigils and words... the runes high lighted in the air just before herself and she was so concentrated upon what she was doing that she had not even thought about being followed.
Meanwhile Strator, the golden eyed male, was trying to get Boris to come back to the tavern with him. "I swear if I have to tan your hide... I will... now... come on before we get caught."
Boris was looking towards Tashial like a piece of meat though and was not really listening to his buddies words. "That is some fine piece of ass right there. She could probably fetch us a great price in the slave market Strator... come on. You HAVE to admit at least that." he grinned as he then started to take his bow from his back and go for an arrow that looked to have a small ball at the end of it. "Sides.. who is going to know she is missing... till it's too late?"
Strator shook his head and growled. "You do this on your own then, you lunk head and her Master will be the first to come after us! I do not wish to piss THAT one off!" he exclaimed as he then stopped his whisperings and glanced around. He thought he scented something but he was not sure... "One last time Boris... come back to the Tavern. We are already waiting for a shipment for the Matron. You KNOW how she is if we are not there to greet her."
Boris was not going to have it and suddenly that arrow went off and flying towards Tashial... IF it was allowed to go all the way to her... she would be netted in a silvery threaded net that would not allow her to use her magics... and by this time the portal to the realm between was finally opening up.~
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : was out on a sitting room balcony looking out at the lands or lack there of. It was so dark, it was her home but it wasn't. She could tell it wasn't right.... "Crimson what were you thinking?" She said to herself softly, she kept running through her head on why he would do such a thing, but she knew that this couldn't have been done by him alone. No....there was something dark within him, controlling him, he wouldn't have helped her with her children, would he? Maybe he would to get close? So many things were running through her head about the situation. She didn't know what to think, what to do. She felt helpless in the situation. She was happy though on the inside, she was in love again, and there was no better feeling. Of course she would never forget her husband whom was lost.....but she had to move on, and she was glad she moved on to someone as caring and compassionate as Darius. There was no better man. He was strong, protective, caring even under that cold exterior he shows others, and she got to see the other side of him. It was probably a side not many would be able to experience. She hoped that somehow that Darius was able to get a hold of his father and explain the situation because at this point with everything happening Eladrin was going to need all the help it could obtain. She shook her head and moved from the balcony. Her simple red satin gown dragging behind her a bit as she headed to the main hall seeing if she could gather anymore information on what is happening in the kingdom. <e>
·Izzy· : *Thanks to the general oddity of the situation, Izzy had been feeling rather...Useless. She was used to fighting darkness. Not...Well, darkness. So she'd taken to her usual way of trying to get things straight in her mind, and punching things, incredibly thankful that the training rooms came along for the ride. She was still running on adrenaline and general readiness, not knowing what was coming next, so sleep? That was kind of a secondary thought. She just napped when she REALLY felt she had to. The rest of her time was spent doing the kind of things she usually did while she tried to make sense of it all. Her coat trailed behind her as she moved with as much urgency and purpose to...Oh. Wait. She was still unsure where they were. Or weren't. Or...Ugh. She didn't know. Stopping in the corridor and wheeling around on a boot heel, she paused again before giving an incredibly frustrated, not-exactly-quiet growl and punching a wall. It didn't do any damage, but made her feel momentarily better. Going back to pacing for a few moments, she gave up, threw arms to her sides with an "Uuuuugh." and moved in the general direction of the main hall, her graceful but purposeful movements and hyper-alert silver eyes seeming more like those of a caged predator looking for a way out of its confinement than anything.*
Lord Blackheart : dashed out from the tree as the arrow was released, the man now snatching it in his right hand before tossing it back towards the man who drew it. "I would know, Boris." He remarked with a smirk, the man's attention now fixed on Strator as he tossed the arrow. "You might want to take five paces behind you." He smiled. Not only would the arrow net the man if it hit, but because of the intensity of his dash, he had damaged a young sapling in the process, the sapling now sent downward towards him as well.
Tashial : she blinked as she looked back and would see not only her Mentor but two of the other males, that were at the tavern and eyeing herself and Damien up. She tilted her head and grimaced but she would wait for instructions to either leave or to stay and help Damien....
Meanwhile... Strator would hop back a few paces as the net not only got Boris but a bit of the tree that was slightly infront of them both and seeing coming towards Boris he would widen his eyes and licked his lips... "Damien... sir... lord ah.. I am asking as a... well fellow... assassin? Maybe ah... over look this one incident with Boris? I mean you can see his ah hormones were running away with him and I will keep him on a shorter leash. If you... kill him though I am sure the Matron... Drizztren... she will not look upon it too kindly." he was not trying to beg at this point but he was sort of hoping that this incident... thus far has made Boris a bit less determined to get what he wants when Strator said no.
Boris on the other hand was just panting underneath that of the sapling. He was not able to use his cougar strength to get out from under it for the net was around him.~
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : She went into the main hall, her father and mother were not here, Tylan wasn't here, there were some guards posted, she wasn't sure where Darius went. She sighed heavily. She happened to turn her head when she saw Izzy round the corner. She slightly smiled to her as she spoke out. "The kingdom is still lost in another realm..." she said in soft tones to Izzy not really sure else what to say except maybe tell her about the new love in her life as she smiled a bit more thinking about him. "I am... courting again.....and ...I am very happy....but its hard to show when my people are in trouble..." She explained with a heavy sigh looking to Izzy speaking out. "I hear you and Tylan are....getting close.....he says a lot of nice things about you, he really admires you......" She said to her with a soft smile walking in her direction. Her hair was down but it moved slightly and if she paid attention she would see the faint bite marks on her neck as she awaited Izzy's response. <e>
Lord Blackheart : kept his focus on the men in front of him, a few leaves still falling from both the wake of his sprint, as well as the crash of the sapling that had fallen down. If any were nearby, it would give off a rather peaceful scene, despite the man being caught in a net, and another trying to plead for their release. "Perhaps." He spoke, the man casually leaning against another tree, a needle from it used to pick his teeth of some food he had stuck there. Tossing it to the side, he would advance on the man in the net, his violet blue eyes glowing just ever so slightly, as he blinked once, an intimidation tactic perhaps, or he may have been trying to decide what to do with them. "Perhaps I will let her majesty decide what to do with him, when she sees him in the dungeons."
Shiro : He remarked, though it was here, when a second figure could be seen racing in the distance behind the violet eyed man. Several strings of blue-white energy could be seen, their connecting points attached high in the trees, before they activated, the second figure revealing his self. Cold, almost emotionless red eyes lifted to the man beside him, his right hand lifting to remove his hood, snow white strands falling to just above his mid back. "Looks like I was too slow." Shiro chuckled
Lord Blackheart : the violet eyed man now chuckling as well. "Tasha, can you change the passage's location to that of the castle dungeons." He instructed, the Night Elf now taking his leave. "Give me one reason why I should care about your mother, or your reputation."
·Izzy· : *The mention of the kingdom still being lost got something of a scowl from the hybrid, who seemed to be in one of her more...Izzy moods. Not a scowl -at- Gisselle. Just at the subject of her words. Looking up at Gisselle from behind near-silver strands of hair, her eyes seemed even more piercing than usual. "I've noticed. I don't have any idea how to rectify this..." She paused, pulling off one of her gloves and holding the arm up, far more of a gold luster and a more defined 'scaling' pattern than usual. It always seemed to become more defined when in the 'bad' times, it seemed. "...Not a scenario I particularly enjoy." Without the blue dye to her hair, Izzy had a far less 'innocent' or carefree appearance. Pale skin contrasted with the mass of black clothing, accented with the same colors as her silver hair and gold scaled patches gave far more of a 'striking' appearance. She really did look more like she followed both sides of her heritage at once. "Tylan and I saw the way you were looking at him." smirked on the lighter subject, glancing to the elf and speaking lazily, in the lovingly mocking tone she reserved almost solely for Gisselle. "Young love. It's so adorable..." And then Tylan was mentioned a moment after she referenced him. Wait. Had she referenced him without an insult?! What the hell was this? She kept the same deadpan yet still joking tone as ever, seemingly almost dismissive. "...Don't make me-" She paused, pacing around now with a sudden urge to keep moving. Something she often did when something touched a nerve or made her uncomfortable. "...We've happened to have been in the same place a couple of times. That's it. As for admiration?" She deflected in the most Izzy-like fashion, acting like she didn't get the context at all. "It's mutual. He can hold his own and looks out for those he cares about. I can respect that." Gissy would have to try harder than that to get the hybrid to really open up! Though she was just as expressive in what she DIDN'T say, more often than not. Eyes narrowed as she indeed caught the bite marks, though she kept pacing. "...Speaking of getting close..." She motioned lazily towards her own neck, a smirk once again on her face. "...You know if he ever hurts you nobody will ever find a body, right? I still made a promise to keep, even eight years later."*
Tashial : she smiled and nodded her head as she already had the portal open... she only needed just a few moments to make it so that it goes to the castle instead of the space between. She turned around and began to do just that, with no other words to be said. Her Master asked her to do something... she would oblige him....
Strator though was not impressed in the least. "Hey now... Damien... I was trying to stop Boris from doing... "
Boris piped out and interrupted him... "You did not... you little lying weasel! You were egging me on!"
Strator was not trying to break from where he was in this trappy thing but he WAS wanting to tan Boris' hide and well.. his anger got the better of him and as he tried to get out of the web trap he would get a pretty nice jolt of electricity on his frame. This had him pounce backwards with a yelping and a bit of a growling sound intermixed. "Wait till I get my claws on you... you pouch bag!" and the two would just continue to argue back and forth~
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : nodded when she said she didn't know how to fix it. "I don't know either but I know the cause...but I don't think he who caused it is really the he that owns the body......if that makes any sense.." She said with a heavy sigh. "But it is still a creature, if I can get close enough to the creature I might be able to tame it or speak to it, my abilities have not failed me before.." She explained and made a face when she talked about young love she just kind of gave a face. "I am not that young anymore, I have after all been married once and have two children, that's got to count for something along the lines of wisdom...but I do look good for my age I think.." She said with a smirk as she watched her speak of Tylan. "So in other words, you like him too. This is wonderful. He is a good man, a bit over protective at times, but a good man.....any woman would be proud to have his admiration....he stands up for what he believes in. No matter the cost....He has rather he wishes to admit it or not a hard time with women. He puts on this facade that he is a ladies man, but in reality that facade is to protect him from rejection. He got really bad after the whole being trapped in the Underdark for three years.....He didn't speak to me for a year after he returned and still no one really knows how he escaped....Thraele had found him.....but she wouldn't talk much about it either....so I left them be....when he returned Thraele had him slumped over a horse banging on the castle gates like some proud warrior bringing a fallen home, I think he was more upset that he wanted to walk through the gates on his own then having his baby sister bring him home..." She said with a shake of her head. Then the vow came out from Izzy and Gisselle sort of chuckled. "No wonder why you and Tylan get along, you two have so much in common..." She said walking over and kissing her on the cheek. "Darius would never hurt me....if you could see when were alone how tentative he is with me, you would sing a different tune, though its not a side a portrays in public..." <e>
Lord Blackheart : couldn't help but chuckle once more, as his student was given time, the trap Shiro had set into place now working quite effectively. "Invisibility spell cast on thin strands of steel and iron." He began, almost in an impressed tone of voice, though this was not the case. As the man was jolted backwards onto his rear end, he would nod his head a second time. "Scrying enchantments to watch the targets, and a minor lightning burst spell to hit them if they escape. Nicely done."
Shiro would nod in thanks of this praise, before he darted back off to the tavern, the Night Elf now settling his self on the roof of it.
Lord Blackheart : "Now this is very satisfying indeed." He began, before he advanced, reaching out to grip Slator's shirt, though, if this attempt were successful, he would then yank hard, sending the man to the ground. Violet blue eyes narrowed, as he would take the net, and bring it towards the open passage. "As for you, march." He would direct the gilded eyed male. "Tasha, close it as soon as they get in."
Amaterasu : Would slowly wake up in one of the corners of the ball room, stretching her hind legs and then her paws. Shaking her entire body as she slowly got to her feet and make her way out of the ball room. Moving into the sitting room but there was no food there and she was well past need to be fed as her belly rumbled loudly. Seeing at that door was not open she would shift into demi-form still a pup she would look like a smile child with wolf ears, and face paint. Opening the door as she would make Her way out of that room and down the hall to the dinning room was, following her nose to where food was. It would not be long before she was in the dinning hall looking high and low for food. After finding some of this and some of that she would take her plate to one of the table and take a seat. As then started to scarf the food down, she was hungry. D>
Strator knew that he was not going to get out of this one and growled as he was shoved forth towards the portal. He narrowed his gaze towards Boris and hissed out... "I am so going to string your entrails as toys for my next kits... IF we get to even to see our mates again... jack ass!!"
Boris only hissed back towards Strator...
Tashial : on the other hand only watched as the two would have been met on the other side by guards and a missive attached to the netted one. She giggled lightly and shook her head as she then looked back to her Master with a slight gleaming in her eyes. "So... do you always have this much fun?" she giggled again as the portal closed but then she realized that she was going to have to do all that all over again. Groaning softly she turned and started to whole routine once more.~
·Izzy· : *She nodded slightly, stretching an arm out in front of her before pulling the glove back on slowly. The other thing that was new, other than the relative lack of colour to her, was that her hand seemed to be getting a few faint dark patches on it, such as above the knuckles. One of the more Draconic traits she was still somewhat uneasy about. Small patches of what looked almost like plating. It was most severe on her back, though, under her top and her long coat. Segmented, organic patches as hard as steel that grew naturally. "It makes sense...Though...Something I felt when it happened didn't sit right. I shouldn't be so...I don't know. Everything's changed, Gisselle. I have faith in your abilities, but I've seen it before. There are some things just too...Raw. Just too primal to control or talk down. Sometimes I think I'm one of them." She shrugged, head shaking slightly. Still, her mocking Gisselle got a reaction, at least. "I know...I think you're older than me." She leaned against a wall, a boot coming up naturally to rest the sole flat against it. Finally she'd stopped pacing. For now. Though her being still never really looked 'right'. "Well...Maybe not. I..." She smirked, shrugging. "I don't even know how old I am. Or if it really counts for anything. Between stasis spells, time dilation, alternate planes...It's hard to say. And...Eh. You don't look -bad-." Izzy grinned, head cocking playfully to one shoulder. "I mean, you're still all...spindly and elf-like, but..." Oh, she couldn't resist that one. "I suppose you've been too busy all this time to keep up with training? Real life must have got in the way, I suppose." She didn't sound disappointed. More genuinely curious. Until Tylan was mentioned again. "...I never said I liked him. I said I didn't hate him. There's a world of difference." Izzy's hyper-defensive nature was impressive, how it'd just crop up like that without any notice. "So...What you're saying is that I should give him hell?" She asked with a wicked grin, though when she mentioned his defense mechanism against rejection, that seemed to hit home, as she instead gave a rather quiet, sombre "...Oh..." of realization. They really WERE alike. It was just their methods of deflection that differed. "...He's a survivor. The how really doesn't matter." She sounded almost concerned now. He'd mentioned the past in passing once, but she'd never pressed. For precisely this reason. But the pride? That ALSO sounded very Izzy. And she nodded slightly, smirking at the kiss on the cheek. "...I doubt I'd sing a different tune. I might -think- differently, but...Well, the same goes for anyone. I made a promise that I've already faltered on too much just by not being here. My word is all I have." She shrugged, giving a half-smile. "But okay. I promise I won't throw him off a balcony -yet-. And I'll try to talk Tylan around to agree to that too. No promises though."*
Lord Blackheart : issued a shrug of his shoulders as he kicked the net and Boris inside the passage, the man now listening to what his student had to say. "Not always." He informed with a nod. "There were many targets I found, that were not as co-operative with me, so I had no choice but to take care of them." He admitted. "As soon as I had the information I needed, what I did with them was up to me." He chuckled once more. "Some were left alive, to be examples, while others well, they got to meet my brother, Death."
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ¤ : appeared in the Elf Song Tavern, an unsavory place.....dressed as a male patron, a scary one at that she had shifted to look less like royalty and more like someone that would kick your ass if you looked at him the wrong way. He appeared before Damien and gave him a wink, he would probably be able to figure out who it was as he spoke out. "I have a way to bring the lands back to Eladrin, but we will need all three Willful seers and the top two tiers to do so, which means we will be needing you, will you come with me to gather your daughter and attempt to make this happen so we can go after the cause once that is completed?" He asked curiously and looked to the other maiden giving her a kind nod bowing at the hips a bit. "Pardon m'lady....forgive the interruption but this is an urgent matter..." He said to her in soothing tones as he awaited Damien's response. <e>
Tashial : she was about to start with her portal again, out in the forests, just after dumping two very pathetic hooligans into the very cells of Eladrin castle. She tilted her head when she heard another male's voice but she would keep her concentration upon what she was doing so that it would not take so long with knowing that she was well protected while opening this one up to the between space. When she heard what the other male said she would sigh softly and bit her lower lip lightly. "Did you wish me to stay for this, Master Damien?" she would ask softly while slowing her sigils in the air down but not too much or she would have lost them and would have needed to start all over again~
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : She nodded when Izzy said it made sense. Things were happening that night that shouldn't be and what would cause such a beast to react in that way she will never understand. But now moving on to happier things as she spoke out. "I am not so sure if I am older then you, you seem more knowledgeable about things then myself, which speaks wisdom, but since you do not know yourself how old you really are, its hard to say whom is older then who...." She said as she sat down in a chair and contemplated some things while Listening to Izzy and smirking when she said she didn't look bad for a an elf like one....she would of course take it as a compliment. But she smiled when Tylan came up again. "Saying you don't hate him is telling me you do like him, and your extreme defense on the subject is telling everyone else the same thing, I am not saying give him hell...well.....maybe a little...but give him a chance.... what have you got to loose?" She asked curiously looking up to her. "If it doesn't work out in the end, at least you would be able to say you tried..." She said with a nod then Darius came up again as she grimaced. "Tylan even attempted to try to attack my husband before and after I was married. I don't think in his eyes anyone is good enough for me, I swear at times he is worse then my father....thank the gods my father has maturity and sense, if I had a father like Tylan I would probably slit my own throat out of frustration.....as a brother I can handle..." She said with a chuckle and a shake of her head, not knowing what else to say at that point. <e>
Lord Blackheart : watched as the other male appeared, though it was his snow white hair, emerald green eyes, and his style of dress that gave the figure away to him. "With your Divine Will, my daughter's Zen Focus, and my own mirror Seer ready for action, I may be willing to lend my services." He informed his brother with a nod, the raven haired man shifting his attention back onto his student. "No. You just see if you can figure out a way to disable our main threat." He instructed with a nod, those violet blue eyes shifting back to his brother again. "Gisselle will not be happy to hear about this, but I caught two idiots out here in the forests, with the help of my student here, and Shiro." He informed the shorter man with a nod. "I will tell you, as well as her more about that, once we get out of here." He admitted, the man not needing to send any more into the dungeons, though he was pleased that Shiro had done his job, protecting the forests with web traps he had set into place. "Where are we headed?" He asked.
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ¤ : in male form smiled to the woman speaking out. "Any friend of his is welcome into any conversation I may have with him, I have nothing to hide..." She said with a wink to the woman Tashial. He looked over to Damien and raised a brow about the idiots in the forest and listening to other information as she looked around the place. "This is not a nice place to be having such conversations Damien.." She said shifting back into her normal form, long pale hair, long white gown, feminine face now as she looked to the woman jokingly. "Tell me, out of curiosity. Do I look better as a man or a woman?" She said with a chuckle trying to lighten the mood a little bit... See Nim did have a sense of humor after all. <e>
Tashial : She would nod her head only to glance on over to Nimena with eyes of surprise... "Well I am not sure I would be one to judge such things, M'Lady for I would only notice a male if I wish to give birth to my first child." she smiled as she then swiftly did leave from the two to head to the library of such expanse... her very thoughts out to the web of this place and swiftly she was in piles of books that she only wished to know one thing of... "Oroboros' weakness, please?" the pile was only halved and she sighed once more as she then started to look through the books there. Those that she thought more important then others were gone through first though.~
·Izzy· : *Things that shouldn't happen often happened, in Izzy's mind. Perhaps she was just too attuned to it all, and saw tiny imperfections as massive chasms. Okay. She KNEW she did. But that wasn't going to change any time soon. She was a creature of extremes, which on one hand made her dangerous in some scenarios, but also made her very up-front. For somebody who could be incredibly cold and indifferent, she could just as easily wear her heart on her sleeve about all manner of things. "That'd be Vincent's doing when I was growing up, the whole 'knowing things' thing. Endless lessons on history and mythology and combat and...It never ended." She sighed, shaking her head. Things were far more simple then, even on the run as they were. "...Until it...Well, did. But the point stands. I can plan a war or pick an assassin out of a crowd, but there are things I can't do." She smirked. "Like diplomacy. That was never brought up before our journey, and by the time it was? It...Well, it wasn't needed." She gave another faint nod, a vague hint to her background being one of more than just plain fighting. "I mean, the whole...Royalty thing? The Leader thing? I could never do that. I'd not know where to start." With a sigh, she half-shrugged in her trademark way, nodding slightly. "I'm not defensive. You're defensive." Yeah. REALLY good comeback there, Izzy. "...It's hard, okay? There are two things I can't deal with and I know it." She pushed off the wall, moving to sit opposite Gisselle. "Failure and loss. In anything. I guess I've just...Learned to deal without the things that lead to them. And getting over that takes time." She sounded really quite calm about all this, but in a strange way she felt like she owed it to Gisselle to open up somewhat. Why, she didn't know, but Izzy's mind was always on a certain level that made it hard to trace. Even for herself, sometimes. "That's the problem. I ask myself that question, and I really...I guess I'm kind of scared to find out." Her head shifted. to one shoulder causing hair to fall over her face. "Is that stupid?" She did, however, laugh slightly at the idea of Tylan attacking her husband in the past. "Well, he's not wrong. I worry too. About a lot of things. I know I shouldn't, but...You've always looked out for me since I first turned up, lost and on the run. I'm impressionable like that." Izzy? Impressionable? That was a lie if ever there was one. Nobody could make her do something she didn't want to. But it wasn't entirely untrue. She cared.*
Lord Blackheart : nodded as his brother slimmed down, his clothing changing once more to that of the proper nobility. "While I do agree with you, she had suggested that she visit my personal library, to better deal with the threat of what's to come." He informed his sister with a smile. "The more we know about this thing, the better we can take it down, or perhaps put it to work for us." He would then direct his next reply on his sister's last question, the man shifting his weight to one side, his hand under his chin as he glanced her over again. "I think they both suit you rather well." He began with a nod, his arms crossing over his chest. "You have this body, for when things require less violence, when others are being healed, or for diplomatic affairs." He would chuckle, gesturing to her entire self. "Though you have the male's body for when heavy lifting is required, as well as more stealth is needed, After all, your chest isn't as large, so it means you have better places to hide." He shrugged. "So yes, both."
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ¤ : She smiled at Tashiels comment before she left then turned to Damien and nodded about where she was going, but his comment about her physique she kind of gave a scoff at. "Just don't tell Lucien about my gender shifting, not sure how he would react...in the meantime your daughter is nearby....resting....with another...though in her state I do not think we shall be...interrupting anything.." Well at least she hoped not, that would be kinda awkward, but it would be their own damn fault for doing such a thing in a time of crisis as she touched Damiens shoulder and both of them appearing at the mouth of the cave. "Yep she is here..." She said in soft tones as she looked around. "She did a hell of a clean up job...no wonder she was out of it.......maybe she will wake up..." She said looking over to Damien.<e>
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : looked over to Izzy as she was just talking, staying silent throughout the whole ordeal until she was completely finished watching her reactions, listening to what she was actually saying. She smiled for a moment. "Love is always hard. You saw how hard I struggled when I lost my husband, its not an easy thing to undertake, but when it works out its the best thing that could ever happen to you....besides, Tylan has a long life ahead of him, and underneath the tough exterior, he is a good soul. I don't really see how you would have anything to loose by.....accepting him.....if he has the courage to... well.... you know...." Yea....this was not a topic she wanted to further delve in. "Lemme tell you, being a leader is a lot easier then talking about love..." She said with a laugh and another shake of her head. "Failure and loss are a part of life Izzy.....you win some you loose some, you cannot win all the time and the more you try and think you can, the more angry your going to make yourself when it doesn't go your way....accept the loss, accept the defeat, but rejoice in the gains and wins.....do not let the downs pull you away from your gains....who knows....maybe it would make you a stronger person....not that you aren't now....but at least ....well...with everything we do we can look back and say I did that...I tried that....and I gave it my best.....life is not about winning or loosing, its about enjoying what you have...." <e>
·Izzy· : *Izzy's eyebrows raised and she smirked. "Hey hey hey. Let's not throw the word 'love' around all casually like that. I'm still internally struggling to come to terms with 'tolerate'." She grinned, refusing point blank to let this be -too- serious. She was, after all, still her. Still, she listened and nodded in understanding. After all, this whole emotion thing? This was something Gisselle could very definitely teach Izzy a thing or two about. She was so disconnected and so used to having to separate how she felt with what she did for her own sake, that she practically needed it pointed out that she couldn't live solely like that. "...We'll see how things turn out, but...I don't know." She shrugged, laughing slightly at the idea of leading being easier. Although Gisselle spoke true, she likely didn't realize just how much what she said was probably affecting Izzy. After all, loss and failure in any context were things Izzy happened to be all too familiar with. Eventually, she sighed and sat back, silver eyes lowered and not even really trying to meet Gisselle's gaze. Even Izzy couldn't keep the mask up forever. "...You're right, of course. But...My defining trait is survival. Surviving when nobody else does. Time and time again. It wears on you after a while and you just...Try to block it out. It's a strange clarity you get when you choose not to feel. Even if you can't keep it up forever." She glanced up. "I envy you, y'know. You have that strength. I have...Well, I have the curse of being a too attuned to knowing how things can get to me. It empowers me, but it tears me apart. Figure that one out." She smirked at herself, head shaking slightly. It didn't help that when surrounded by darkness, Izzy got introspective all too easily. "I think perhaps...I lost so much that I've tried to try and run out of things to lose. That way I could focus on stopping others from losing what they had." In Izzy's mind, it was kind of a duty. If she suffered for it? So be it. A sheepish smile was shot to Gisselle, hoping she understood. "...I don't know. I'm rambling again. Tell me to shut up whenever"*
Lord Blackheart : accepted the gentle touch from his sister's hand, the both of their bodies dissolving almost, into a shower of colorful stars, though as the two of them did, they would be taken to what could only be described as a celestial paradise. It was here, when they began to float through this realm, the both of them blinking back into view inside the cavern, an almost blinding flash of light radiating from them before it collapsed at their chests. Having not been used to this method of travel for quite some time now, the man would immediately fall backwards from the brilliant, opalescent light they emitted in the dark caverns. Thankfully, he did not his his head against anything dangerous, though the man was dazzled rather badly, his eyes now rolling about in their sockets, as he tried his best to gain his focus back. Making an attempt to sit back up, he was swaying in large circles, his left arm up, as he was trying to point straight upward. "I no want do the.." He spoke in a daze, though fell back down.
ƉŞҏέɭɭɱᾶƙέя : \\ Frustration laced across his features. The glow of his teal blue eyes had become murky with blackness. He licked his lower lip and gave up on concentrating on giving his father the update. Until being returned back to the reality of Eladrin, his father would have to solely rely on gossip. He lightly rubbed the side of his neck and left the guest drawing room. He needed to work out some of his frustrations somehow. He wasn't going to spoil the mood that his mate was in. The smile upon her face this morning had made his heart skip a beat or two. So he could bundle that memory up and headed for any place to remove his frustrations. Something that he could use his fists upon. He had only hoped someone would look in his direction with the wrong look. Or say something sarcastic. In fact he was looking forward to dealing with his father. It had been a few months since their last scuffle. His head tilted to the left, hearing the sudden crack of his neck. //d//
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : She just smiled at her and stood up speaking out. "Very well then....Shut up Izzy......it makes sense but don't tell yourself you don't deserve a little bit of happiness....and do trust me when I say that I tell you to shut up with love...." She said in soft tones as she looked to see someone walking down a hallway looking not too happy. It was Darius, but she would say nothing and let him go, seemed he needed to vent as she returned her focus upon Izzy. "You think, thinking about someone is hard, wait till we tell my father and his that we are......together mated......your talking about two powerful, hot headed men whom care about both us and this alliance.....if it doesn't go right.......it could mean war between the long time aligned nations, this is a big chance Darius and I are taking....I just got to figure out how to make this all go smoothly, if they don't already know yet....well I am pretty sure my father has no idea he has marked me yet....don't know how that will go.." She said with a heavy sigh figuring out how to approach this carefully. <e>
Tashial : She had not even known or realized that anything had happened other then a lot of magics were being used. She was used to such things in these lands for it was not the first time she had felt that sort of thing. Plus she stayed in the Castle in Felgrande but mostly in the underground facilities where she practiced her magical arts. There were rooms there that she could go to and practice to her hearts delight. She had thought though that this day she would go out and actually go get something to eat. She had been to the Elf Song Tavern at least once or twice and thought it would be good to go there again. Dressed in her grey robes with the silvery sheen of runes upon the sleeves, hem, collar and even up the front of the robe... with small black boots on. She then headed out and teleported herself to the Tavern... or just outside of it. Stepping up with her hands gripping the middle of her robes and then stepping within to get a good look on who was there this morning. She smiled when she would see Damien and headed on over to him. A bow at her waist as she asked softly... "May I join you Lord Damien?" ~
RаⱴyɳღBlаçᶄḩԑаяȶ : Blaze had left her in her bed chambers and even this morning she wasn't awakening, it wasn't because of the spell or the happenings of the Ouroboros last night, it was simply because with everything going on she forgot to feed. Thankfully daddy always paid attention, not always around, but there when one was in trouble. Her bedroom floor would start cracking slightly as a couple of minions from hell crawled out snarling, one of them holding a bloodied bag, the other one to assist. Sniffing around they saw the body of Ravyn laying on her bed with the Willful Seer on her lap. They climbed up her sheets and looked at her face, yep that was the princess they were looking for. So the one pinched her nose and forced her mouth open by her chin while the other opened the bag and started pulling out these shiny looking rock candy things, the soul candies. He would drop about three or four in her mouth while the other minion forced her mouth shut. Soon as they were swallowed down those rainbow eyes of hers shot open. She looked at the two minions and hissed wildly and the bowed and cowered before moving slowly off the bed, she speaking on a demonic language to them sending a message to her father before they nodded and hopped back into the hole of hell where they belonged. She got up and stretched speaking out. "Took you long enough father..." She said with a chuckle and went into the bathing chambers. Washed herself up, her face, snapped her fingers, new clothes were on which consisted of a simple cream colored dress and bare feet before she exited from her bed chambers looking for.....well signs that they were back where they should be with the Willful Seer in hand in case she had to go for round two. "I have a certain scaly I must speak too..." She said hissing between words as rainbow orbs glanced at her surroundings heading downstairs. <e>
Błãzē_Ðåřķвłãđē : He would feel that lovely piece of creature awakening and he sighed slightly... he had been watching the lands become destroyed.. all but Crimson's Tower and Felgrande City. It would seem that another had gotten to Lord Damien Blackheart before the city could be destroyed. he would lift up and soon enough he would be out of the Cavern but with the Starr Crystal relaying everything to himself and to the first six of the Tiers. Appearing before Ravyn or at least a few feet from her with a tilting of his head and looking a tad tired as well. "Morning..." ~
ᴥAthḛnᴧBlọọdHeartᴥ : [[ Had the creature retreated back to the confinements of her flesh ? Was it put back into the box? Was the box locked tightly? Not yet.. She had eventually exhausted herself by attempting to destroy the lab about one hundred different ways. Only to have her body collapsed on the floor. Surrounded by bit of flesh. Blood and bones. Her eyes struggled between the bright violet color.. and onyx black. Her hair was fanned out along the floor. Athena licked her lower lip. Tasting the blood stain that remained. She sighed softly and rolled to the side. A first time she had moved in about eighteen hours. Her body somewhat screamed in protest. Where was Ehden..? Did he managed to escape from her clutches? There was a patch of fur resting close to her. Did that belong to the cuddly polar bear?... She reached her hand out and grasped the half mangled body of a small jack rabbit. Her fingers wrapped around the small skull. Crushing it within her hand. Blood and brain matter oozed out from her hand. She moved her hand up towards her lips. Licking the ooze up. Her face slightly rolling with disgust. " What I wouldn't give for a virgin........"She hissed.[[D]]
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : was still asleep on Darius this morning. Her head on his chest, under the blankets, she didn't want to be anywhere else. She had no idea of the going ons last night and she was doing what daddy told her to do, stay with Darius, she just wasn't sure if staying with Darius in the capacity she was is what daddy meant, but too late now. She was in love, he said he loved her, that's all that mattered. She knew that Damon was probably going to be coming soon with all the mess that has happened. there was a knock on her door which caused her to shoot her head up. She blinked and looked down at Darius and kissed him on the lips before sitting up and tightening her dress before moving over to the door making sure she was presentable and opened the door, it was a guard. He explained to her the situation and it was indeed grim He told her about Crimson and what transpired and she was in shock. Why would he attack her kingdom in such a way, she didn't know he had that kind of power. "Let me get presentable, I will be down soon....get me the remaining council members short of Elris..." She explained and shut the door. The guard left and she sighed heavily going to her closet and picking out another gown. "I need to find him...." She said and carried her gown to the bathing chamber...if Darius wanted to join her, he was more then welcome..<e>
·Izzy· : *had stayed in the ballroom all night, and had got an element of sleep sitting against a wall, but not exactly a lot. It was the same fitful, short bursts as ever. It seemed the best idea, really. Why? She didn't entirely know. As if she ever thought ANYTHING out too far in advance. Izzy seemed to just follow her instincts. An eye opening slowly, she glanced down at the bottle by a side in a hand, picking it up and glancing down the neck and sighing. Damn. Empty. Letting her head fall back to lean against the wall, she closed silvery grey eyes for a few moments, before an arm raised in front of her and stretched with a couple of rather satisfying pops from the elbow and shoulder, doing the same with the other a moment or two later. She was still trying to piece together everything that happened, and was still very much in defense mode, mentally. Oddly, she was still relatively outwardly calm, too. That could never bode well.*
ƉŞҏέɭɭɱᾶƙέя : \\ He had slowly awoken from the daze of sleep. His eyelids flipped open as he glanced towards Gisselle. She spoke lightly and could tell by the way her body had tensed up..something had happened. So he slowly sat up and pushed the covers off. He reached for his discarded pants and slipped them back on. Pushed his feet into his boots and headed towards Gisselle. His cold fingers slipped over her shoulders. His mouth pressed into the mark upon the left side of her neck. " Much too Early.. for mates to be leaving bed..." He whispered softly against her warm flesh. His lips brushed up along her earlobe. " But I shall forgive you this once. Something happened while we were busy". He sighed softly and lifted his head up. " My father should make an appearance sometime soon... little mate.." //d//
Lord Blackheart : noted the bow at her waist, and nodded, gesturing for her to take a seat with him, the man remaining silent still, as Sean returned back with the meal and drink he had ordered. "For you, miss?" Sean tilted his head when he noticed the Elf taking a bow towards the man, Alan still keeping his eyes on the silent one. It was not that he couldn't be trusted, but rather the man kept mostly to his self, speaking only when spoken to, and often remained humble, yet dignified when in the presence of others, an admirable trait to the rest of the lands, but when paired with a place such as the Elf Song tavern, it often caused others to take notice. He would reach for the jade cutlery that was brought to him, the man slicing the coined potatoes so he could better eat them as he waited for his student to take her seat, if she so desired to. "Apologies for meeting in a place such as this, but I figured let you see every part of these lands." He whispered. "Where there is darkness, there is always a light as well."
Tashial : She did not mind the place for she was drow looking and mostly was left alone... mostly. When she was asked what she wanted she would look on over to Damien's food and smiled as she would slowly sit opposite of her Mentor.. "I will have what he is having but a pint of honey meade, please?" she glanced around the Tavern only to then look on back to Damien once more. "It is alright. I was beginning to wonder if you had forgotten me. It has been a bit of time since we had spoken. I do not mind though it gave me the opportunity to practice my arts." smiling a bit more while watching Damien and being very attentive to what he may say next.~
ℛаⱴyɳღBlаçᶄḩԑаяȶ : smiled and pressed her lips on Blaze, feeding him some of her energy once again before breaking it and speaking out. "Morning my scaly play date..." She said with a chuckle and poked his ribs a little bit as she continued to speak out. "So....the demons from hell gave me my candy....I am all better now......just used too much and wasn't eating like i was suppose too heh..." She said with a chuckle as she took his hands and vanished with him into the nursery to check on the kids. She saw they were still sleeping but stirring as she waved a hand over the four babies and put them back asleep just for a little while longer. "They do not need to see whats going on right now. "She tucked in Hana and Raven kissing them on the cheeks and checked on the other two to make sure they were comfortable. "Aren't they so cute......so innocent, I can't remember the last time I was that innocent..." She said with a chuckle.. "Though I can remember transforming into one of them and how startled they were. It was soo adorable..." She said standing up and pointing to Hana and Raven.. "Those are my babies..." <e>
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : shuddered a little bit, feeling his hands on her shoulders and his lips on her mark. It felt good, just something she was going to have to get used to again, which would come soon enough since her heart was fixed again. "Never too early for a Queen my love.....and as a Queen I have duties to attend too....I must speak with Crimson.....he is the cause I must find out why......this does not make sense..." She said in frustration, she had been nothing but kind to the creature.....why would he hurt her in such a way.." She started the bath and slowly started stripping her mate of his clothes before stripping herself and had him come with her to the waters. It was a large spa like bath as she swam to him taking the soaps and the cloth and started cleansing his chest, his shoulders, taking care of him like she would her mate she loved ever so much. Kissing him on the neck and cheek here and there. "I think my father is going to be very happy about us, I know I am..." She said with a warm smile as she continued to clean him up. <e>
Błãzē_Ðåřķвłãđē : He nodded to her and kissed her lips back only to then allow her magics to wash over his body... which by the way shivered when she fed him a bit of energy... He then realized where they were and sighed as he remembered his own children at that age. "They are adorable just as their mother is pretty. I have been watching from the Starr Crystal. Though the lands are ravaged greatly... we can return but we have not taken down the threat as of yet and I do not believe it to be a wise thing to bring the lands back to such... uncertainty. Next time I and or another may not have the time it would take to make sure the Starr Crystal takes us to safety... or even the energy to do so. I mean... look at what happened to us just this time." he grimaced slightly~
Lord Blackheart : listened to the maiden, though also to the job offers, and claims being made by the others standing about. It really was no place for children, just as many had told him, though the raven haired man with the glowing eyes seemed to stand out from the rest. Sean would nod, and make his way to the kitchen again, though as he did, the man would issue a smile towards his student. "I'd never forget about you." He whispered, those violet blue eyes almost distracted, but he was just observing his surroundings.
Tashial : She watched him for a moment before she would tilt her head and fold her arms over her small bosom... "Nah I guess you would not but you are awfully distracted. Are those over there... disturbing you? If so I am sure I could get rid of them... Sir Damien." she grinned in a mischievous manner and even chuckled softly. "I think I have it down pat for the Arcane and Divine... I mean putting them together but I guess you would wish me to show you... yes?" glancing to where her Master's gaze was and grimaced ~
ℛаⱴyɳღBlаçᶄḩԑаяȶ : grinned after all the children in the Nursery were tucked into their beds, which was more then the four, other staff had children's too the nursery watched over, and if it was one thing Ravyn loved it was children. She stood up and spoke out. "Nimena, myself and my father are the three that carry the Willfull Seer, you concentrate on your crystal my love....you leave the rest of the lands to us....we can restore it to where it once was.....but I do not have the strength to return us to the realm.. otherwise my will be done right now, but I do have the strength to transfer to the rest of the lands on my own and fix it before the castle returns to its proper place.....what is it you wish me to do my handsome man?" She said as she placed her hands on his chest rubbing his chest a little bit and kissed his chin awaiting his response. <e>
ƉŞҏέɭɭɱᾶƙέя : \\ He chuckled softly and rolled his shoulders. The pants were stripped from his body and the boots tossed across the floor. He stepped in with her and felt the hot water rush over his aching muscles. His fingers brushed the little curl of her hair away from her shoulders. Pressing a small kiss against her cheek. The soap coated over his chest and shoulders. " I have a feeling.. He and I will need to speak privately.." It wasn't that his father would disapprove. It was.. just going to be messy with him. He scrubbed his face. Splashing water over his face. He was not.. looking forward to that conversation at all. He licked his lower lip in thought. Distracted. He was plotting out his moves carefully.. Even D didn't know what his father could be capable of. Sighing softly, he pulled Gisselle into a tight hug. " As much as I want to shut out the world.. and pretend nothing can touch us.. we both have a duty to do..."//e//
Błãzē_Ðåřķвłãđē : he furrowed his brows slightly and bit his lower lip. "You just do what you need to do... I will keep watch but I myself can teleport to you if you are in need of help. Just.... still be careful. I like my toys to be safe and sound." he winked and chuckled softly as he looked to the children once more and then started to head back to the Starr Crystal once more.~
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : nodded and sighed heavily. "If your father is upset of you with me I will tell your father it is my fault, this is what I wanted and I will stand between you two.....rather he likes it or not, I respect him very much, but I love you and I will get in the way..." There was no telling her no, once her mind was set that was it. she cleaned up herself and washed her hair. Kissing him on the lips passionately and standing up getting a towel to dry herself off she handed him one and started to get dressed into her new clean gown and undergarments. She would leave her hair down and wet combing it a bit as she looked to him. "Well, I am going to find the cause of the problem love.....I don't know where were at. Or if he is here...but I must find him..." She explained as she put her comb down and started moving to the balcony placing her large cloak on her shoulders. <e>
Lord Blackheart : merely shook his head when she mentioned she could take care of them for him, the man's attention now on her as she spoke. Before he got his chance to speak though, Sean returned from the kitchen with her meade and her food, setting the both in front of her with a nod. "Anything else for you two?" He inquired, the man shaking his head with a gesture that said to stop where he was. "If I wanted them taken care of, they would no longer be standing here with us." He chuckled, though he kept his voice low.
Tashial : She would thank Sean and then started to eat up her meal... almost as if she had not eaten in a few days... well it sort of felt like that for she would spend hours upon hours in the training rooms. She was not a fickle individual when it came to training something new, to her. She was constantly at it till she felt it was to perfection and THEN she only hoped her Teacher would think so as well. She did sigh though when she was told to just leave the others alone. "You are... alerted about something and if it is not them... then who? You know I will help where I can, Sir Damien." she did indeed note the difference in him this morning and wondered if what she felt a day or so ago had to do with it.~
ℛаⱴyɳღBlаçᶄḩԑаяȶ : smiled and spoke out. "Do not fret pet.....even if I do die, I just come right back, I have done it quite a few times, painful process, but I never go away forever..." She said with a chuckle kissing his cheek. "Protect my children and family here.....Gisselle will always be family, after all her two right there are my grandchildren.....I will handle....butthead on the other side..." She said with a wink and poof she went back to the Original Eladrin Lands. Appearing at the edge of the forgotten forest, smelling the scent of dead flesh and irony blood and guts all around she narrowed her eyebrows. "No, no, no....this is my old home...this WILL NOT DO!!" She was not happy one bit...She could see the hole where Eladrin Castle one stood and she was getting severely depressed. ~Father I am fixing this......they broke my rainbows and sunshine place..~ Which was the forest. She pulled out her Willfull Seer once again. Setting it on the ground. She wondered how many times she could use this thing before it finally cracked. Either case she was going to do it again...... heaven help the one that gets in her way... "Darkness has befallen this place....Sadness has struck my face....I know you cannot fix it all, but clean this up before I fall...." The mirror started rising up once again probably ready to zap her ass for over use.. It didn't cause she might like it, but did as it was asked. It wasn't strong enough right now to bring the warded castle and cities back to its rightful place, but the carnage here it could fix right away. The entire lands save for Felgrande and Crimson labs were touched with a bright prismatic light. The Blood, the Guts, the carnage, the devastation, seemed to be eaporating like a fine mist, leaving behind everything as she once remembered it, the trees, the creatures, the beautiful landscapes. The land after the attack has been restored. Save for the castle's rightful place which she frowned. "Well I can't do everything all the time..." She said with a heavy sigh and a yawn stretch. When it was all fixed she picked up her mirror and put it back in its Satchel looking around. "OHH OROBOROS?
Where are you hiding?" She called out curiously looking about to find him.. Ravyn had finished with the spell, she restored everything and everyone before the attack occurred. Age was so exhausted she couldn't see straight but redirected the message from her father and sighed. "Yea well..I'd rather try then watch" she said slightly with a hiss add she moved about the forest. She didn't have the energy right now to return to the castle but she could feel she pissed off whom ever was the cause of the bloodshed. She finally after a couple of hours found her cave, some beats took it over and she let out a roar that echoed wildly. The bears took off and she crawled in going to sleep in her corner warding her scent from the cave so the enemy wouldn't look there while she was down.<e>Błãzē_Ðåřķвłãđē : would see this through the Starr Crystal and with one sighing breath he would at her side with a hand stuck into the ground and the other upon her cheek as he would slowly siphon energy from the very core of this planet to feed it directly to her. It being of the very earth he knew that she would be able to handle it. "Ssshhhh rest my lover... I told you I will not allow you to fall." he smiled as a fur went underneath of then and he laid out behind her with another coming over them both to keep them warm~
Lord Blackheart : heaved a sigh as she spoke yet again. He was worried it would start showing more often, and by this point, it was more likely that he stood out, because of his precise movements, and his attention moving between those about. It almost gave the impression he was seeking out targets, but it was not the case. Swallowing a piece of chicken, he would shift his attention over to his student again. "I am alert because my family has made these lands their home as well, and I can feel something else trying to overtake them." He informed her with a nod, the man's voice still hushed, but he was much more direct, and to the point than if he were not in his current state of mind. "They are being crushed by a creature of immense energy, and if we do not figure out a way to stop it, they would disappear just as the castle had." He informed, the man now grasping the knife, and after a few fluid motions between his fingers, would carve off another slice of his chicken. "My son's even been acting strangely as well."
Tashial : she listened to his words and the way he was acting only to come to one conclusion... "You are like Xianka then?" she asked lightly as she took down a bit of her meade and then continued to eat her meal. She had never tasted food like this before or at least not in her lands she had not. She then put her fork down and licked her lips slightly. "I am not quite sure when I felt an immense strength of power but is that from whom you speak of? The one that your children and these lands are afraid of?" asking as she was trying to gain information about what was going on... "Maybe if I did a bit of research I can find a weakness in whatever this thing is?"~
ℛаⱴyɳღBlаçᶄḩԑаяȶ : She turned around when she felt energy being fed into her, wasn't energy she particularity liked but it was energy none the less. She giggled hearing what he said as she looked up speaking out. "I didn't fall down I plopped down till i got more energy, had to restore a lot of life, someone is doing sverige on these lands, a lot of them..lot of souls, Reaper was not happy" She said with a heavy sigh as she cuddled against him.
Błãzē_Ðåřķвłãđē : looked down to her and smiled with a nuzzling of his face into her neck... "shh... no need to speak.. I had seen all that you had done and I am here to bring you back up to where you need to be." he lifted his free hand to brush along the opposite cheek, from where he was laying with her and then leaned down to kiss her lips lightly but he would not keep it there as he would feel that she was still pretty weak.~
Lord Blackheart : nodded heavily. His past was always a touchy subject for the company he kept, for he was never quite sure how others would take the frightening news. "You can say it, and yes." He admitted with a nod, taking another slice of potato to his lips. "I was once an assassin, and scout for whoever paid me the best." He shrugged, though now that she knew, he was unsure about whether she would be afraid of him, or like many others, wished to learn those kinds of tricks, as well as the current lessons he taught to them. It was not always an easy life to live, or even to get into, but there were often pieces of this past that gave it away from time to time. "Yes." He spoke once more. "These surges of energy are from that very threat, and the more we can find out about it, the better chance we have of ensuring my family's safety." He admitted with a lowering of his face as he finished his meal. "I have not been able to keep a close enough contact with my son, or even his wife, to see if they're still with us."
Tashial : She nodded her head and smiled with just a little bit of apprehensiveness to it... "I am glad that I know but I only wish to learn what I am learning from you now. As for the information of this beast... what is it that you name it... one that is so... extremely powerful. It is almost or is like it is a god like creature." she was trying to just relax but the very thought of a god like creature... other then Sir Damien and his family around AND causing havoc... it did not bode well in her mind.~
ℛаⱴyɳღBlаçᶄḩԑаяȶ : She grinned as she bit his lower lip after he kissed her. "You keep being charming and I'll be up and on you in no time...how are my children and the castle?" She couldn't help herself. She didn't take orders well especially when it came to being quiet. She was a bit weak but she was in lust too and it was all his fault. "You have come to me a lot lately, problems with others in your harem?" She said jokingly with a bit of a devilish grin.
Błãzē_Ðåřķвłãđē : He chuckled softly and groaned a bit only to keep feeding her the earthen energies he was collecting for her. "You... need to take it easy right now or I will be sure to put you to sleep till you recover your energy." he smirked and had a bit of a warning in his tone... "They are both alright and so is the Kingdom... now... relax."~
Lord Blackheart : heaved a sigh of relief when she smiled, and even more so when she spoke of still keeping to her lessons with him. "We call it Crimson as its name, though it has spoken another name to me, which is Oroboros." He informed her with a nod. "The infinity serpent, and the dragon of chaos itself." He began, reciting what he had learned of the beast when he was small. "Before I could look more into it though, I left, to explore what we now know as the web of reality, and the threads of time." He sighed slowly.
Tashial : she furrowed her brows and then smiled slightly... "time... Master... you can travel through time... back and forth... can you not? What if you picked up on the time line from this creature and went back to it's very creation and or where it was at it's weakest to see what exactly would show what it is weak against? I mean it would be faster then me returning home and trying to look through so many pages or going to that library you just mentioned and trying to find it there... would it not?" she asked with a light smile as she just thought of that and it would be a more precise action to go against this.... Oroborus.~!
ℛаⱴyɳღBlаçᶄḩԑаяȶ : "Depending on how you put me to sleep I may defy you on purpose.." She said with a sheepish grin as she laid her head back down on his chest, she couldn't help herself, she was the rainbow child of the family, always into mischief, and causing mischief, it was genetics, what could one say? Blaze stuck his pecker in crazy the day he decided she was going to be a new play thing. She draped a leg over his and snuggled under the blanket of fur placing her hand on his chest. "I must rest your right, I have a murderer to murder.." age said quietly chuckling.
Błãzē_Ðåřķвłãđē : snuggled her even more and only chuckled softly with a kiss to her lips. Yeah he may have stuck her that first day but so far he has not regretted it... so far. "mmm aye that we do but for right now... you rest and I shall watch over you." his hand upon her head and he would kiss the top of her head as he would think of Gaerynth and hoped that he was alright. He even linked with him and chuckled softly as he got the image of him bathing in one of the underground springs.~
Lord Blackheart : nodded, though he would merely keep his face lowered, until he was through with his meal. "Indeed it would be a faster way, though I would prefer a more extensive research." He informed, once more as direct, and precise as he kept speaking. "What if the creature came here to explore, and I just wipe it out of existence?" He reminded her with a heavy sigh. "What if this creature is not even aware of the power it holds?" He inquired. "We must notice every fine detail, before deciding on our next actions."
Tashial : she nodded her head only to widen her eyes a bit... "Oh no.. .I was not thinking of like killing the creature for we do not know exactly what is up with it or anything... maybe seal it away so that it can not cause harm as it is doing now." she smiled again as she finished off her meal. "While I do my research into the books... you can see along it's timeline to see if there is a weakness... not to kill it though... just to... uhm immobilize it or something so that we can seal it away or something like that." she was coming up with ideas but his mind was still only in one mode... assassin mode. or so it would seem~
ℛаⱴyɳღBlаçᶄḩԑаяȶ : She could feel him chuckling when she almost had her eyes closed. She let out a soft sigh. It was nice playing with him age would right now but in her state he might very well kick her ass for trying. So she played good girl tonight, shut her ass up for a change and after a few moments she was out like a light draped over him. The kids were safe, lands were safe, Castle was safe, Daddy was proud with a lecture...hells who could ask for more?
Błãzē_Ðåřķвłãđē : He just continued to feed her and watch over the beauty he had upon his chest. even bringing his temperature up just slightly to keep the cold outside of the furs and even that of the cave. "sleep well my lovely..." he whispered ~
Lord Blackheart : tilted his head as she spoke of her plan, Sean returning back to collect their dishes, though once more, he held up his hand as though to say stop. "Leave my drink, I'm not done with it yet." He informed, Sean nodding as he returned back to the kitchen with the rest of the dishes, save for the drinks. "Now that sounds like a great idea." He began. "If we can find out what is most effective against it, we may be able to keep it stable long enough to get information from it as well, should we need any."
Tashial : she blinks and sighs softly as she was not one to usually question her Master but "Uhm well... I was just thinking that well... we may be able to find it's weakness and or a spell to seal it away. We really probably should not leave it out too much longer then it already has... I mean... unless you are wanting to do so.. Sir." she bit her lower lip only to then pick her mug up to take a long pull from her meade for again she only hoped that well... she was not over stepping herself. She then put a few coins onto the table and looked to Damien once more. "I should head back to my homeland if I am to start research on this creature. Unless you have another place I could do so?" asking lightly~
Lord Blackheart : couldn't help but chuckle a little at how eager she was to get started on finding out about the beast, though it was here, when he would nod his head. "There is a library back in Felgrande, and another in the castle there, which may have what you seek." He informed her as she stood from her place. "I could even open a passage to the space between as I had before, so you may study without distraction." He suggested, though which offer she would take, he was patient, but also very eager to hear from her.
Tashial : she looked to him and nodded with excitement... "I would like the latter... if you please, Master Blackheart. I kinda.. like that place. So serene and quiet."
It was here that one or two of the mercs were looking towards Damien's and her table and especially after hearing her say... Master to the younger looking male. One of the males even started to arise but then another of his buddies shook his head. The first arched a brown brow and looked to the golden eyed male... grimacing he would sit back down and just grumble about "No Fun..."
The golden eyed male only smirked slightly. "Trust me... you do not wish to mess with that male over there." he winked at the first male and then glanced on back to Damien with a raising of his own mug of ale.
Tashial : tilted her head as she had noted the movement from the one male only to be shut down swiftly by another... "Do you know them, Damien? the one seems to know you." she asked in a curious tone.~
Lord Blackheart : watched as two of the patrons whispered back and forth to one another, his own pointed ears moving to better listen in, though it would seem he was saved by the other man. "Sadly, one of them is a member of a different organization then I was from." He admitted, noting the gilded orbs, and the manner in which he would carry his self. "Most from that clan knew me as someone they could ask for assistance from, but many often saw me, and would try and hassle me for a free sparring match." It didn't work this time, since another man had stopped him as he was about to make his way over, the gilded eyed individual returning to his seat. Standing from his own, he would make his way towards the front of the tavern, his hand reaching out, to gently touch on his student's left shoulder. "If you still remember the motions, and the spell to take you there, I will see you later on." He informed her with a low nod. "If you don't, I will open the passage, so you can enter inside, and visit the library it holds."
Tashial : she looked over to the males then up to Damien once more... "No.. I remember the sigils and such." she nodded and arose as well from her own seat. She then lowered her head towards Damien as she too made her way out from the Tavern. "I shall see you there, Master." her words softly delivered to his ears so that he would be the only one to hear them and as soon as she was outside she headed towards Felgrande but in actuality she was going to stop in a forested part of her trip and do her thing to get to the passage of the space between... then go to the library there. She was sure that it was more extensive then the library any place on this plane would hold.~
Lord Blackheart : nodded, and saw her off with a cautious embrace, the man's attention constantly shifting to his surroundings as he did, violet blue eyes then closing as he draped his arms over her shoulders. "I will see you in a few days." He nodded, as he was sure that much time would give her the needed research, though, if she desired more after that, he was happy to oblige. As she turned to leave, he would return back inside, and seat his self at the table they had been at before, the man slowly taking a drink.
Tashial : She returned the hug... tentavily for she was not used to such... close touchings. She had gained his trust though for she knew he would not have done this act if she had not. She then nodded and left to do what was needing to be done...
When Damien returned to his seat he would note that the first male out of the two had vanished though and the second golden eyed male only sighed and shrugged his shoulders... "Damn it Boris!" he would exclaim under his breath. He knew where the male had disappeared to and with a grimacing to see that Damien had returned to the tavern instead of staying with the female... he growled and swiftly headed to the closest of shadows to try and stop his comrade from doing something.... totally stupid~
Lord Blackheart : continued on with his drink until it was through, though it was here, after he had swallowed the last drop, that he could hear the whispered words from the gilded eyed man. Heaving a low sigh, he would rise from his seat, his body tensed from the thoughts of what the two of them would do. These lands were his home, and he was going to protect them as best he could. Silently, he would make his way into the forest, using the trees, and brush as cover so he would not be seen. As he approached a tree to use as cover for his self, he could hear the men from the tavern speaking to one another, his student not very far away. Just as silent as when he'd been walking, he heaved a slow, inaudible sigh before removing his breaths completely. Even his blood had stopped flowing through his body, his heart at a still. He moved behind the tree, the man glancing out a few times, to check on his student, if she had done the passage correctly, and gotten out of harm's way. To many, it would seem the men were alone.
Tashial : she was on her last bit of sigils and words... the runes high lighted in the air just before herself and she was so concentrated upon what she was doing that she had not even thought about being followed.
Meanwhile Strator, the golden eyed male, was trying to get Boris to come back to the tavern with him. "I swear if I have to tan your hide... I will... now... come on before we get caught."
Boris was looking towards Tashial like a piece of meat though and was not really listening to his buddies words. "That is some fine piece of ass right there. She could probably fetch us a great price in the slave market Strator... come on. You HAVE to admit at least that." he grinned as he then started to take his bow from his back and go for an arrow that looked to have a small ball at the end of it. "Sides.. who is going to know she is missing... till it's too late?"
Strator shook his head and growled. "You do this on your own then, you lunk head and her Master will be the first to come after us! I do not wish to piss THAT one off!" he exclaimed as he then stopped his whisperings and glanced around. He thought he scented something but he was not sure... "One last time Boris... come back to the Tavern. We are already waiting for a shipment for the Matron. You KNOW how she is if we are not there to greet her."
Boris was not going to have it and suddenly that arrow went off and flying towards Tashial... IF it was allowed to go all the way to her... she would be netted in a silvery threaded net that would not allow her to use her magics... and by this time the portal to the realm between was finally opening up.~
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : was out on a sitting room balcony looking out at the lands or lack there of. It was so dark, it was her home but it wasn't. She could tell it wasn't right.... "Crimson what were you thinking?" She said to herself softly, she kept running through her head on why he would do such a thing, but she knew that this couldn't have been done by him alone. No....there was something dark within him, controlling him, he wouldn't have helped her with her children, would he? Maybe he would to get close? So many things were running through her head about the situation. She didn't know what to think, what to do. She felt helpless in the situation. She was happy though on the inside, she was in love again, and there was no better feeling. Of course she would never forget her husband whom was lost.....but she had to move on, and she was glad she moved on to someone as caring and compassionate as Darius. There was no better man. He was strong, protective, caring even under that cold exterior he shows others, and she got to see the other side of him. It was probably a side not many would be able to experience. She hoped that somehow that Darius was able to get a hold of his father and explain the situation because at this point with everything happening Eladrin was going to need all the help it could obtain. She shook her head and moved from the balcony. Her simple red satin gown dragging behind her a bit as she headed to the main hall seeing if she could gather anymore information on what is happening in the kingdom. <e>
·Izzy· : *Thanks to the general oddity of the situation, Izzy had been feeling rather...Useless. She was used to fighting darkness. Not...Well, darkness. So she'd taken to her usual way of trying to get things straight in her mind, and punching things, incredibly thankful that the training rooms came along for the ride. She was still running on adrenaline and general readiness, not knowing what was coming next, so sleep? That was kind of a secondary thought. She just napped when she REALLY felt she had to. The rest of her time was spent doing the kind of things she usually did while she tried to make sense of it all. Her coat trailed behind her as she moved with as much urgency and purpose to...Oh. Wait. She was still unsure where they were. Or weren't. Or...Ugh. She didn't know. Stopping in the corridor and wheeling around on a boot heel, she paused again before giving an incredibly frustrated, not-exactly-quiet growl and punching a wall. It didn't do any damage, but made her feel momentarily better. Going back to pacing for a few moments, she gave up, threw arms to her sides with an "Uuuuugh." and moved in the general direction of the main hall, her graceful but purposeful movements and hyper-alert silver eyes seeming more like those of a caged predator looking for a way out of its confinement than anything.*
Lord Blackheart : dashed out from the tree as the arrow was released, the man now snatching it in his right hand before tossing it back towards the man who drew it. "I would know, Boris." He remarked with a smirk, the man's attention now fixed on Strator as he tossed the arrow. "You might want to take five paces behind you." He smiled. Not only would the arrow net the man if it hit, but because of the intensity of his dash, he had damaged a young sapling in the process, the sapling now sent downward towards him as well.
Tashial : she blinked as she looked back and would see not only her Mentor but two of the other males, that were at the tavern and eyeing herself and Damien up. She tilted her head and grimaced but she would wait for instructions to either leave or to stay and help Damien....
Meanwhile... Strator would hop back a few paces as the net not only got Boris but a bit of the tree that was slightly infront of them both and seeing coming towards Boris he would widen his eyes and licked his lips... "Damien... sir... lord ah.. I am asking as a... well fellow... assassin? Maybe ah... over look this one incident with Boris? I mean you can see his ah hormones were running away with him and I will keep him on a shorter leash. If you... kill him though I am sure the Matron... Drizztren... she will not look upon it too kindly." he was not trying to beg at this point but he was sort of hoping that this incident... thus far has made Boris a bit less determined to get what he wants when Strator said no.
Boris on the other hand was just panting underneath that of the sapling. He was not able to use his cougar strength to get out from under it for the net was around him.~
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : She went into the main hall, her father and mother were not here, Tylan wasn't here, there were some guards posted, she wasn't sure where Darius went. She sighed heavily. She happened to turn her head when she saw Izzy round the corner. She slightly smiled to her as she spoke out. "The kingdom is still lost in another realm..." she said in soft tones to Izzy not really sure else what to say except maybe tell her about the new love in her life as she smiled a bit more thinking about him. "I am... courting again.....and ...I am very happy....but its hard to show when my people are in trouble..." She explained with a heavy sigh looking to Izzy speaking out. "I hear you and Tylan are....getting close.....he says a lot of nice things about you, he really admires you......" She said to her with a soft smile walking in her direction. Her hair was down but it moved slightly and if she paid attention she would see the faint bite marks on her neck as she awaited Izzy's response. <e>
Lord Blackheart : kept his focus on the men in front of him, a few leaves still falling from both the wake of his sprint, as well as the crash of the sapling that had fallen down. If any were nearby, it would give off a rather peaceful scene, despite the man being caught in a net, and another trying to plead for their release. "Perhaps." He spoke, the man casually leaning against another tree, a needle from it used to pick his teeth of some food he had stuck there. Tossing it to the side, he would advance on the man in the net, his violet blue eyes glowing just ever so slightly, as he blinked once, an intimidation tactic perhaps, or he may have been trying to decide what to do with them. "Perhaps I will let her majesty decide what to do with him, when she sees him in the dungeons."
Shiro : He remarked, though it was here, when a second figure could be seen racing in the distance behind the violet eyed man. Several strings of blue-white energy could be seen, their connecting points attached high in the trees, before they activated, the second figure revealing his self. Cold, almost emotionless red eyes lifted to the man beside him, his right hand lifting to remove his hood, snow white strands falling to just above his mid back. "Looks like I was too slow." Shiro chuckled
Lord Blackheart : the violet eyed man now chuckling as well. "Tasha, can you change the passage's location to that of the castle dungeons." He instructed, the Night Elf now taking his leave. "Give me one reason why I should care about your mother, or your reputation."
·Izzy· : *The mention of the kingdom still being lost got something of a scowl from the hybrid, who seemed to be in one of her more...Izzy moods. Not a scowl -at- Gisselle. Just at the subject of her words. Looking up at Gisselle from behind near-silver strands of hair, her eyes seemed even more piercing than usual. "I've noticed. I don't have any idea how to rectify this..." She paused, pulling off one of her gloves and holding the arm up, far more of a gold luster and a more defined 'scaling' pattern than usual. It always seemed to become more defined when in the 'bad' times, it seemed. "...Not a scenario I particularly enjoy." Without the blue dye to her hair, Izzy had a far less 'innocent' or carefree appearance. Pale skin contrasted with the mass of black clothing, accented with the same colors as her silver hair and gold scaled patches gave far more of a 'striking' appearance. She really did look more like she followed both sides of her heritage at once. "Tylan and I saw the way you were looking at him." smirked on the lighter subject, glancing to the elf and speaking lazily, in the lovingly mocking tone she reserved almost solely for Gisselle. "Young love. It's so adorable..." And then Tylan was mentioned a moment after she referenced him. Wait. Had she referenced him without an insult?! What the hell was this? She kept the same deadpan yet still joking tone as ever, seemingly almost dismissive. "...Don't make me-" She paused, pacing around now with a sudden urge to keep moving. Something she often did when something touched a nerve or made her uncomfortable. "...We've happened to have been in the same place a couple of times. That's it. As for admiration?" She deflected in the most Izzy-like fashion, acting like she didn't get the context at all. "It's mutual. He can hold his own and looks out for those he cares about. I can respect that." Gissy would have to try harder than that to get the hybrid to really open up! Though she was just as expressive in what she DIDN'T say, more often than not. Eyes narrowed as she indeed caught the bite marks, though she kept pacing. "...Speaking of getting close..." She motioned lazily towards her own neck, a smirk once again on her face. "...You know if he ever hurts you nobody will ever find a body, right? I still made a promise to keep, even eight years later."*
Tashial : she smiled and nodded her head as she already had the portal open... she only needed just a few moments to make it so that it goes to the castle instead of the space between. She turned around and began to do just that, with no other words to be said. Her Master asked her to do something... she would oblige him....
Strator though was not impressed in the least. "Hey now... Damien... I was trying to stop Boris from doing... "
Boris piped out and interrupted him... "You did not... you little lying weasel! You were egging me on!"
Strator was not trying to break from where he was in this trappy thing but he WAS wanting to tan Boris' hide and well.. his anger got the better of him and as he tried to get out of the web trap he would get a pretty nice jolt of electricity on his frame. This had him pounce backwards with a yelping and a bit of a growling sound intermixed. "Wait till I get my claws on you... you pouch bag!" and the two would just continue to argue back and forth~
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : nodded when she said she didn't know how to fix it. "I don't know either but I know the cause...but I don't think he who caused it is really the he that owns the body......if that makes any sense.." She said with a heavy sigh. "But it is still a creature, if I can get close enough to the creature I might be able to tame it or speak to it, my abilities have not failed me before.." She explained and made a face when she talked about young love she just kind of gave a face. "I am not that young anymore, I have after all been married once and have two children, that's got to count for something along the lines of wisdom...but I do look good for my age I think.." She said with a smirk as she watched her speak of Tylan. "So in other words, you like him too. This is wonderful. He is a good man, a bit over protective at times, but a good man.....any woman would be proud to have his admiration....he stands up for what he believes in. No matter the cost....He has rather he wishes to admit it or not a hard time with women. He puts on this facade that he is a ladies man, but in reality that facade is to protect him from rejection. He got really bad after the whole being trapped in the Underdark for three years.....He didn't speak to me for a year after he returned and still no one really knows how he escaped....Thraele had found him.....but she wouldn't talk much about it either....so I left them be....when he returned Thraele had him slumped over a horse banging on the castle gates like some proud warrior bringing a fallen home, I think he was more upset that he wanted to walk through the gates on his own then having his baby sister bring him home..." She said with a shake of her head. Then the vow came out from Izzy and Gisselle sort of chuckled. "No wonder why you and Tylan get along, you two have so much in common..." She said walking over and kissing her on the cheek. "Darius would never hurt me....if you could see when were alone how tentative he is with me, you would sing a different tune, though its not a side a portrays in public..." <e>
Lord Blackheart : couldn't help but chuckle once more, as his student was given time, the trap Shiro had set into place now working quite effectively. "Invisibility spell cast on thin strands of steel and iron." He began, almost in an impressed tone of voice, though this was not the case. As the man was jolted backwards onto his rear end, he would nod his head a second time. "Scrying enchantments to watch the targets, and a minor lightning burst spell to hit them if they escape. Nicely done."
Shiro would nod in thanks of this praise, before he darted back off to the tavern, the Night Elf now settling his self on the roof of it.
Lord Blackheart : "Now this is very satisfying indeed." He began, before he advanced, reaching out to grip Slator's shirt, though, if this attempt were successful, he would then yank hard, sending the man to the ground. Violet blue eyes narrowed, as he would take the net, and bring it towards the open passage. "As for you, march." He would direct the gilded eyed male. "Tasha, close it as soon as they get in."
Amaterasu : Would slowly wake up in one of the corners of the ball room, stretching her hind legs and then her paws. Shaking her entire body as she slowly got to her feet and make her way out of the ball room. Moving into the sitting room but there was no food there and she was well past need to be fed as her belly rumbled loudly. Seeing at that door was not open she would shift into demi-form still a pup she would look like a smile child with wolf ears, and face paint. Opening the door as she would make Her way out of that room and down the hall to the dinning room was, following her nose to where food was. It would not be long before she was in the dinning hall looking high and low for food. After finding some of this and some of that she would take her plate to one of the table and take a seat. As then started to scarf the food down, she was hungry. D>
Strator knew that he was not going to get out of this one and growled as he was shoved forth towards the portal. He narrowed his gaze towards Boris and hissed out... "I am so going to string your entrails as toys for my next kits... IF we get to even to see our mates again... jack ass!!"
Boris only hissed back towards Strator...
Tashial : on the other hand only watched as the two would have been met on the other side by guards and a missive attached to the netted one. She giggled lightly and shook her head as she then looked back to her Master with a slight gleaming in her eyes. "So... do you always have this much fun?" she giggled again as the portal closed but then she realized that she was going to have to do all that all over again. Groaning softly she turned and started to whole routine once more.~
·Izzy· : *She nodded slightly, stretching an arm out in front of her before pulling the glove back on slowly. The other thing that was new, other than the relative lack of colour to her, was that her hand seemed to be getting a few faint dark patches on it, such as above the knuckles. One of the more Draconic traits she was still somewhat uneasy about. Small patches of what looked almost like plating. It was most severe on her back, though, under her top and her long coat. Segmented, organic patches as hard as steel that grew naturally. "It makes sense...Though...Something I felt when it happened didn't sit right. I shouldn't be so...I don't know. Everything's changed, Gisselle. I have faith in your abilities, but I've seen it before. There are some things just too...Raw. Just too primal to control or talk down. Sometimes I think I'm one of them." She shrugged, head shaking slightly. Still, her mocking Gisselle got a reaction, at least. "I know...I think you're older than me." She leaned against a wall, a boot coming up naturally to rest the sole flat against it. Finally she'd stopped pacing. For now. Though her being still never really looked 'right'. "Well...Maybe not. I..." She smirked, shrugging. "I don't even know how old I am. Or if it really counts for anything. Between stasis spells, time dilation, alternate planes...It's hard to say. And...Eh. You don't look -bad-." Izzy grinned, head cocking playfully to one shoulder. "I mean, you're still all...spindly and elf-like, but..." Oh, she couldn't resist that one. "I suppose you've been too busy all this time to keep up with training? Real life must have got in the way, I suppose." She didn't sound disappointed. More genuinely curious. Until Tylan was mentioned again. "...I never said I liked him. I said I didn't hate him. There's a world of difference." Izzy's hyper-defensive nature was impressive, how it'd just crop up like that without any notice. "So...What you're saying is that I should give him hell?" She asked with a wicked grin, though when she mentioned his defense mechanism against rejection, that seemed to hit home, as she instead gave a rather quiet, sombre "...Oh..." of realization. They really WERE alike. It was just their methods of deflection that differed. "...He's a survivor. The how really doesn't matter." She sounded almost concerned now. He'd mentioned the past in passing once, but she'd never pressed. For precisely this reason. But the pride? That ALSO sounded very Izzy. And she nodded slightly, smirking at the kiss on the cheek. "...I doubt I'd sing a different tune. I might -think- differently, but...Well, the same goes for anyone. I made a promise that I've already faltered on too much just by not being here. My word is all I have." She shrugged, giving a half-smile. "But okay. I promise I won't throw him off a balcony -yet-. And I'll try to talk Tylan around to agree to that too. No promises though."*
Lord Blackheart : issued a shrug of his shoulders as he kicked the net and Boris inside the passage, the man now listening to what his student had to say. "Not always." He informed with a nod. "There were many targets I found, that were not as co-operative with me, so I had no choice but to take care of them." He admitted. "As soon as I had the information I needed, what I did with them was up to me." He chuckled once more. "Some were left alive, to be examples, while others well, they got to meet my brother, Death."
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ¤ : appeared in the Elf Song Tavern, an unsavory place.....dressed as a male patron, a scary one at that she had shifted to look less like royalty and more like someone that would kick your ass if you looked at him the wrong way. He appeared before Damien and gave him a wink, he would probably be able to figure out who it was as he spoke out. "I have a way to bring the lands back to Eladrin, but we will need all three Willful seers and the top two tiers to do so, which means we will be needing you, will you come with me to gather your daughter and attempt to make this happen so we can go after the cause once that is completed?" He asked curiously and looked to the other maiden giving her a kind nod bowing at the hips a bit. "Pardon m'lady....forgive the interruption but this is an urgent matter..." He said to her in soothing tones as he awaited Damien's response. <e>
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : She nodded when Izzy said it made sense. Things were happening that night that shouldn't be and what would cause such a beast to react in that way she will never understand. But now moving on to happier things as she spoke out. "I am not so sure if I am older then you, you seem more knowledgeable about things then myself, which speaks wisdom, but since you do not know yourself how old you really are, its hard to say whom is older then who...." She said as she sat down in a chair and contemplated some things while Listening to Izzy and smirking when she said she didn't look bad for a an elf like one....she would of course take it as a compliment. But she smiled when Tylan came up again. "Saying you don't hate him is telling me you do like him, and your extreme defense on the subject is telling everyone else the same thing, I am not saying give him hell...well.....maybe a little...but give him a chance.... what have you got to loose?" She asked curiously looking up to her. "If it doesn't work out in the end, at least you would be able to say you tried..." She said with a nod then Darius came up again as she grimaced. "Tylan even attempted to try to attack my husband before and after I was married. I don't think in his eyes anyone is good enough for me, I swear at times he is worse then my father....thank the gods my father has maturity and sense, if I had a father like Tylan I would probably slit my own throat out of frustration.....as a brother I can handle..." She said with a chuckle and a shake of her head, not knowing what else to say at that point. <e>
Lord Blackheart : watched as the other male appeared, though it was his snow white hair, emerald green eyes, and his style of dress that gave the figure away to him. "With your Divine Will, my daughter's Zen Focus, and my own mirror Seer ready for action, I may be willing to lend my services." He informed his brother with a nod, the raven haired man shifting his attention back onto his student. "No. You just see if you can figure out a way to disable our main threat." He instructed with a nod, those violet blue eyes shifting back to his brother again. "Gisselle will not be happy to hear about this, but I caught two idiots out here in the forests, with the help of my student here, and Shiro." He informed the shorter man with a nod. "I will tell you, as well as her more about that, once we get out of here." He admitted, the man not needing to send any more into the dungeons, though he was pleased that Shiro had done his job, protecting the forests with web traps he had set into place. "Where are we headed?" He asked.
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ¤ : in male form smiled to the woman speaking out. "Any friend of his is welcome into any conversation I may have with him, I have nothing to hide..." She said with a wink to the woman Tashial. He looked over to Damien and raised a brow about the idiots in the forest and listening to other information as she looked around the place. "This is not a nice place to be having such conversations Damien.." She said shifting back into her normal form, long pale hair, long white gown, feminine face now as she looked to the woman jokingly. "Tell me, out of curiosity. Do I look better as a man or a woman?" She said with a chuckle trying to lighten the mood a little bit... See Nim did have a sense of humor after all. <e>
Tashial : She would nod her head only to glance on over to Nimena with eyes of surprise... "Well I am not sure I would be one to judge such things, M'Lady for I would only notice a male if I wish to give birth to my first child." she smiled as she then swiftly did leave from the two to head to the library of such expanse... her very thoughts out to the web of this place and swiftly she was in piles of books that she only wished to know one thing of... "Oroboros' weakness, please?" the pile was only halved and she sighed once more as she then started to look through the books there. Those that she thought more important then others were gone through first though.~
·Izzy· : *Things that shouldn't happen often happened, in Izzy's mind. Perhaps she was just too attuned to it all, and saw tiny imperfections as massive chasms. Okay. She KNEW she did. But that wasn't going to change any time soon. She was a creature of extremes, which on one hand made her dangerous in some scenarios, but also made her very up-front. For somebody who could be incredibly cold and indifferent, she could just as easily wear her heart on her sleeve about all manner of things. "That'd be Vincent's doing when I was growing up, the whole 'knowing things' thing. Endless lessons on history and mythology and combat and...It never ended." She sighed, shaking her head. Things were far more simple then, even on the run as they were. "...Until it...Well, did. But the point stands. I can plan a war or pick an assassin out of a crowd, but there are things I can't do." She smirked. "Like diplomacy. That was never brought up before our journey, and by the time it was? It...Well, it wasn't needed." She gave another faint nod, a vague hint to her background being one of more than just plain fighting. "I mean, the whole...Royalty thing? The Leader thing? I could never do that. I'd not know where to start." With a sigh, she half-shrugged in her trademark way, nodding slightly. "I'm not defensive. You're defensive." Yeah. REALLY good comeback there, Izzy. "...It's hard, okay? There are two things I can't deal with and I know it." She pushed off the wall, moving to sit opposite Gisselle. "Failure and loss. In anything. I guess I've just...Learned to deal without the things that lead to them. And getting over that takes time." She sounded really quite calm about all this, but in a strange way she felt like she owed it to Gisselle to open up somewhat. Why, she didn't know, but Izzy's mind was always on a certain level that made it hard to trace. Even for herself, sometimes. "That's the problem. I ask myself that question, and I really...I guess I'm kind of scared to find out." Her head shifted. to one shoulder causing hair to fall over her face. "Is that stupid?" She did, however, laugh slightly at the idea of Tylan attacking her husband in the past. "Well, he's not wrong. I worry too. About a lot of things. I know I shouldn't, but...You've always looked out for me since I first turned up, lost and on the run. I'm impressionable like that." Izzy? Impressionable? That was a lie if ever there was one. Nobody could make her do something she didn't want to. But it wasn't entirely untrue. She cared.*
Lord Blackheart : nodded as his brother slimmed down, his clothing changing once more to that of the proper nobility. "While I do agree with you, she had suggested that she visit my personal library, to better deal with the threat of what's to come." He informed his sister with a smile. "The more we know about this thing, the better we can take it down, or perhaps put it to work for us." He would then direct his next reply on his sister's last question, the man shifting his weight to one side, his hand under his chin as he glanced her over again. "I think they both suit you rather well." He began with a nod, his arms crossing over his chest. "You have this body, for when things require less violence, when others are being healed, or for diplomatic affairs." He would chuckle, gesturing to her entire self. "Though you have the male's body for when heavy lifting is required, as well as more stealth is needed, After all, your chest isn't as large, so it means you have better places to hide." He shrugged. "So yes, both."
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤Ѵᾶȴԑɳԑяøȿ¤ : She smiled at Tashiels comment before she left then turned to Damien and nodded about where she was going, but his comment about her physique she kind of gave a scoff at. "Just don't tell Lucien about my gender shifting, not sure how he would react...in the meantime your daughter is nearby....resting....with another...though in her state I do not think we shall be...interrupting anything.." Well at least she hoped not, that would be kinda awkward, but it would be their own damn fault for doing such a thing in a time of crisis as she touched Damiens shoulder and both of them appearing at the mouth of the cave. "Yep she is here..." She said in soft tones as she looked around. "She did a hell of a clean up job...no wonder she was out of it.......maybe she will wake up..." She said looking over to Damien.<e>
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : looked over to Izzy as she was just talking, staying silent throughout the whole ordeal until she was completely finished watching her reactions, listening to what she was actually saying. She smiled for a moment. "Love is always hard. You saw how hard I struggled when I lost my husband, its not an easy thing to undertake, but when it works out its the best thing that could ever happen to you....besides, Tylan has a long life ahead of him, and underneath the tough exterior, he is a good soul. I don't really see how you would have anything to loose by.....accepting him.....if he has the courage to... well.... you know...." Yea....this was not a topic she wanted to further delve in. "Lemme tell you, being a leader is a lot easier then talking about love..." She said with a laugh and another shake of her head. "Failure and loss are a part of life Izzy.....you win some you loose some, you cannot win all the time and the more you try and think you can, the more angry your going to make yourself when it doesn't go your way....accept the loss, accept the defeat, but rejoice in the gains and wins.....do not let the downs pull you away from your gains....who knows....maybe it would make you a stronger person....not that you aren't now....but at least ....well...with everything we do we can look back and say I did that...I tried that....and I gave it my best.....life is not about winning or loosing, its about enjoying what you have...." <e>
·Izzy· : *Izzy's eyebrows raised and she smirked. "Hey hey hey. Let's not throw the word 'love' around all casually like that. I'm still internally struggling to come to terms with 'tolerate'." She grinned, refusing point blank to let this be -too- serious. She was, after all, still her. Still, she listened and nodded in understanding. After all, this whole emotion thing? This was something Gisselle could very definitely teach Izzy a thing or two about. She was so disconnected and so used to having to separate how she felt with what she did for her own sake, that she practically needed it pointed out that she couldn't live solely like that. "...We'll see how things turn out, but...I don't know." She shrugged, laughing slightly at the idea of leading being easier. Although Gisselle spoke true, she likely didn't realize just how much what she said was probably affecting Izzy. After all, loss and failure in any context were things Izzy happened to be all too familiar with. Eventually, she sighed and sat back, silver eyes lowered and not even really trying to meet Gisselle's gaze. Even Izzy couldn't keep the mask up forever. "...You're right, of course. But...My defining trait is survival. Surviving when nobody else does. Time and time again. It wears on you after a while and you just...Try to block it out. It's a strange clarity you get when you choose not to feel. Even if you can't keep it up forever." She glanced up. "I envy you, y'know. You have that strength. I have...Well, I have the curse of being a too attuned to knowing how things can get to me. It empowers me, but it tears me apart. Figure that one out." She smirked at herself, head shaking slightly. It didn't help that when surrounded by darkness, Izzy got introspective all too easily. "I think perhaps...I lost so much that I've tried to try and run out of things to lose. That way I could focus on stopping others from losing what they had." In Izzy's mind, it was kind of a duty. If she suffered for it? So be it. A sheepish smile was shot to Gisselle, hoping she understood. "...I don't know. I'm rambling again. Tell me to shut up whenever"*
Lord Blackheart : accepted the gentle touch from his sister's hand, the both of their bodies dissolving almost, into a shower of colorful stars, though as the two of them did, they would be taken to what could only be described as a celestial paradise. It was here, when they began to float through this realm, the both of them blinking back into view inside the cavern, an almost blinding flash of light radiating from them before it collapsed at their chests. Having not been used to this method of travel for quite some time now, the man would immediately fall backwards from the brilliant, opalescent light they emitted in the dark caverns. Thankfully, he did not his his head against anything dangerous, though the man was dazzled rather badly, his eyes now rolling about in their sockets, as he tried his best to gain his focus back. Making an attempt to sit back up, he was swaying in large circles, his left arm up, as he was trying to point straight upward. "I no want do the.." He spoke in a daze, though fell back down.
ƉŞҏέɭɭɱᾶƙέя : \\ Frustration laced across his features. The glow of his teal blue eyes had become murky with blackness. He licked his lower lip and gave up on concentrating on giving his father the update. Until being returned back to the reality of Eladrin, his father would have to solely rely on gossip. He lightly rubbed the side of his neck and left the guest drawing room. He needed to work out some of his frustrations somehow. He wasn't going to spoil the mood that his mate was in. The smile upon her face this morning had made his heart skip a beat or two. So he could bundle that memory up and headed for any place to remove his frustrations. Something that he could use his fists upon. He had only hoped someone would look in his direction with the wrong look. Or say something sarcastic. In fact he was looking forward to dealing with his father. It had been a few months since their last scuffle. His head tilted to the left, hearing the sudden crack of his neck. //d//
Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤Ѵяέȿȿȴⱱέ : She just smiled at her and stood up speaking out. "Very well then....Shut up Izzy......it makes sense but don't tell yourself you don't deserve a little bit of happiness....and do trust me when I say that I tell you to shut up with love...." She said in soft tones as she looked to see someone walking down a hallway looking not too happy. It was Darius, but she would say nothing and let him go, seemed he needed to vent as she returned her focus upon Izzy. "You think, thinking about someone is hard, wait till we tell my father and his that we are......together mated......your talking about two powerful, hot headed men whom care about both us and this alliance.....if it doesn't go right.......it could mean war between the long time aligned nations, this is a big chance Darius and I are taking....I just got to figure out how to make this all go smoothly, if they don't already know yet....well I am pretty sure my father has no idea he has marked me yet....don't know how that will go.." She said with a heavy sigh figuring out how to approach this carefully. <e>
