¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤ : Nimena looked to Gisselle blinking speaking out. "A wizard....child....what are you needing of a wizard, you do not have to call all the way to Phaleador. Lord Damien and myself even your father....ers...could help you here with whatever is ailing you" She looked to Odiana and nodded her head. "Pleasure to see you again madam..." She said <c>
·Izzy· : alive upon spotting the two flying balls of light, though not before trying to carry on training with naught more than a blink to try and shake them. No. Okay! They were real. And while Izzy -could- be incredibly focused, she was also somewhat catlike when it came to movements, colours, and bright and shiny objects. The disembodied voice of the c>
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤ : sighing lightly feeling something wrong with her but she couldn't place it. She walked up to her and placed a hand on Gisselle's head and attempted to search what was wrong. Closing her eyes she started to glow a pale glow in attempting to heal Gisselle if there was a disease on her. Something within Gisselle blasted Nimena backwards about <c>
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤ : four feet making Nimena land on her feet and crouching down tired like a cat ready to pounce again but tiredly. Her fangs showed a little as she growled slightly not knowing what was happening. Nothing was happening right with Nimena's spells as before. She was confused, she had to figure out her center again. Meantime she stood and looked <c>
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤ : to Gisselle. Something pushed back Nimena but she wasn't sure what it was as she spoke softly. "Sam.....I heard you and he....had a problem?" She asked softly then straightened out her gown when she saw Sarkas and bowed back to him speaking out. "I am happy to see you your majesty.." She said with a warm smile bowing her head then looked to <c>
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤ : the princess nodding her head to search her father for answers. <e>
·Izzy· : artifact seemed to 'warn' her only after she was already distracted, watching the things flitter about. 'Iz-' Was disrupted by her own response. "Yuuuuuuup. I see them..." She paused for a moment. "...Kinda pretty." She was unnaturally still, watching them with little more than eye movements to start with. Without warning, she'd spring up and c>
·Izzy· : forward with unnatural agility in an attempt to catch one in between cupped, gloved hands, landing back in a low crouch no matter the result. In a real fight she wasn't anywhere near as distracted, but...Well, shiny objects! Magical shiny objects! It was a reminded of just precisely how mercurial her mood could be.-
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : Gisselle felt a slight headache when Nimena attempted to pry. She didn't get a chance to say hello to Odiana before she was gone again. She looked to Nimena who got blasted back, she never seen Nimena in such a state before. Did Gisselle do that to her. Is this was Sam had put upon her, some sort of curse to isolate herself from others? She<c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : didn't know but then her father showed up, she saw Nimena's face to talk to him and she shook her head. "No, I don't want the same thing that just happened to you happen to anyone of my fathers or anyone else..." She said softly and stepped away from him and Nimena. She was visably upset, a lot of things were bothering her since last night <c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : especially her nightmare but she was trying to erase it from memory as she wanted to leave the main hall looking to the two of them awaiting to be dismissed. <e>
Sarkas_Eldithas He had noticed Lady Odiana for a brief moment before she had exited from the main hall he was curosious as to what she was going to go get herself into but had a larger priority to deal with at the moment. He'd watch Nimena's attempts at divine magic his brow lifting ever so slightly as whatever magics that'd be cast upon his daughter lashed out >
Sarkas_Eldithas at the priestess. A look of concern came over him as he stared towards Gisselle his head shaking from side to side. "Be still my daughter no harm will come to any of us." He'd move closer to Gisselle his hands already forming arcane sigils as he began to chant a very basic wizard spell as the final word of power left his lips he'd swipe his right >
Sarkas_Eldithas hand over his eyes as his hand dropped he'd stare at his daughter though arcane site as he walked around her examining the magics cast about her. "It's arcane in nature it appears to be of the school of enchantments.." He would pulled his sword from his belt resting it on the floor before resuming walking around his daughter. "Describe the spell >
Sarkas_Eldithas he cast onto you as much of it as you can remember any clue will help me to figure out if I can remove it.."
Оᴅїᴀɴᴀ❇Aєтнєʟwуɴє : .: As is the nature of will-o-wisps, they evaded and looped about, hovering in sight for a moment, then both swooped down and beneath the small gap under the door. They returned to the fae’s hand, who knelt with a contented, mischievous grin – now illuminated by the two hovering orbs. She made sure to be a >
Оᴅїᴀɴᴀ❇Aєтнєʟwуɴє : distance back from the door in case it was kicked outward, not that Izzy’s behaviors could be predicted among a variety of sudden violences at all. “I have a dangerous quest that I need your expert assistance with,” she purred the temptation of chaos to lure Izzy out in the wake of the wisps. “I cannot go alone lest >
Оᴅїᴀɴᴀ❇Aєтнєʟwуɴє : I violate a dictate laid upon me. But if you join me…” She trailed off, hoping for the woman to emerge. Then concluded, “…that solves that problem, yeah?” She stood, the red petal-work of her merry dress settling about her rosy knees again. “It’s called The Hedge. An in-between world to separate this from my homeland. >
Оᴅїᴀɴᴀ❇Aєтнєʟwуɴє : We need to investigate if any troubles stir there and spill over into this world. It’s dangerous, unpredictable, and filled with wonder. You’ll come?”
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : Nimena remained silent bowing to the king and allowing him to do what he must as Nim rested on the steps and watched in silence knowing he was stronger at the moment then she, but she would get her bearings back soon enough. Gisselle was shaking her head at her father at first but listened when he told her to be still. She kept her eyes open <c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : and listened about whatever was upon her. When he asked her for information on what happened last night she finally closed her eyes trying to remember everything that happened last night as she spoke softly. "Sam was provoking me, saying some not nice things about a guest named Tylan and myself....using vulgar language towards me ...things I <c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : cannot repeat for they make me feel dirty if I do.." She explained then let out a heavy sigh and continued on with her eyes still closed. "The next thing I know after he said those horrid things I lost control, I attempted to slap him. He smiled at me as if that was what he wished me to do and I somehow missed. He then came close and said do<c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : not blink. I was frozen.....then his head opened up and a third eye came from him......then there was a flash....then he went from vulgar and violent to smiling and gentlemanly apologizing for his actions......something about what he did put me in fear....I ran.......that was all I can remember..." She said softly with a tear in her eye and <c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : started to tell of her nightmare. "Last night out of the blue I had a dream of Caratis.....he was....laughing at me....as if saying that he got me.....and the fun wasn't over....." There were other parts to it that again she couldn't repeat as finally opened her eyes but her head was down, she couldn't look up, she couldn't believe she <c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : couldn't get away from Sam's trick. <e>
·Izzy· : -With a moment of disappointment at missing the damnable glowy objects, there was a sigh, along with a rather sarcastic and somewhat playful, but still hollow 'Next time...' from the male voice of the Codex, which she once again turned to glare at, albeit more playfully than she had in the past. Hearing the voice follow up the escape of her prey,c>
·Izzy· : she couldn't help but grin, moving to the metal pyramid, clicking it back into the clasp of the book on her belt, and nodding to herself, untying her hair and shaking her head to let it loose before moving towards the door, pulling it open with a smile. "Dangerous? Well, that sounds fun already..." In the light of the hall the training rooms c>
Sarkas_Eldithas From the sounds of things as Gisselle desribed the spell to him he knew it was either a curse or an enchatment either way he had spells that could counteract both acts but he needed to gather some things first. "Nimena watch her a moment I'll need to get out of this armor and get a few more wizardly items before I go foreword." With that he would >
·Izzy· : were on, the scar through her left eye was especially visible, and when combined with the canine-showing grin she perpetually had when promised danger, made her look a rather strange combination of dangerous and amused by the idea. She also looked rather different without her coat on, like it gave her build more form. She looked something c>
Sarkas_Eldithas make his way back to his personal chambers appearing several moment later dressed in his fine blue and white robes. A belt with several pouches hung about his waste and a large tome was held in his right hand. He would glance towards his daughter giving her a stern look. "Remain still and follow each and every command I give you I can break the >
·Izzy· : really quite a lot more elf-like without it, thanks to her physique. Just another thing to confuse the Fae and keep her guessing. Listening to the reasoning, a smile crossed her face. "...Dangerous, unpredictable, filled with wonder and enough of a risk for you to be told you shouldn't do it by yourself? How can I refuse?!" Throwing the c>
·Izzy· : sleeveless mass of black leather over one shoulder out behind her and to one side, hands moved back to instinctively find the armholes, shrugging the coat on, and she was back to normal! "Are there downsides to this place too?" Maybe not the response Odiana was expecting, but probably the one she hoped for!-
Sarkas_Eldithas spell and even offer you further protection against it but you must listen to each and every command I give you." He would move within ten feet of his daughter his right hand holding his tomb of spells as his left reached into one of his many pouches pulling out some fine red powder. He'd slowly walk a circle around his daughter leaving a trail >
Sarkas_Eldithas of the powder as he circled her entirely. He'd lower himself to the ground setting aside his tomb as he pulled free a quill and a bottle of blue ink. He'd unstopped the bottle of ink dabbing the quill in as he began to write out wards of protection in high elven. He'd write the wards from the outer edges of the circle all the way to the center >
Sarkas_Eldithas where should stood pausing every now and again to check his work. Finally he'd make it back to his original spot once more and reach out with his fore and middle fingers of both hands as he began to chant arcane words of power. Soon the circle began to glow a bright red and the wards he'd written would burst into blue flame as the protection >
Sarkas_Eldithas spell was completed. Once he was certain he'd stand and aapproch his daughter ink and quill still in hand. "Gisselle I need you to concentrate on the nightmares with Caratis in them focus your mind on them but do not move do you understand?"
Оᴅїᴀɴᴀ❇Aєтнєʟwуɴє : .: Odiana turned her calming face up toward Izzy’s downright demonic expression, fit with violent features between the scar and the sharp teeth. At times like this, a person realized both terror of, and relief in having such comrades as this. She blurted an unexpected laugh when asked about downsides. “For you, >
Оᴅїᴀɴᴀ❇Aєтнєʟwуɴє : I think the downside is that we need to attempt to move carefully, as to disturb as little trouble as possible. We’re going, on this venture, to observe. We don’t know if there’s anything disturbing this land’s flora or fauna from there yet, and if there is, we have no concept about the magnitude. I also warn you, >
Оᴅїᴀɴᴀ❇Aєтнєʟwуɴє : Illusions run thick in faery places. Keep your wits. Bring no iron. It’s a bane and will lure anger. Shall we then?” She wanted to go as soon as possible, but she’d bear up patience should Izzy need time. "I'll show you the faery paths that lead us most swiftly to the middle-world. d :.
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : She waited there standing still as her father was spreading sands and writing things around her not moving except to bring her hands over her eyes when the lights started to glow around the circle he created, it was slightly blinding since she was in the center. She almost jumped when she saw the flames surround her but didn't move until they <c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : dimmed which was when she put her hands down. When he said she needed to concentrate on the nightmares and closed her eyes remaining as still as she could. She started thinking about the nightmares with Caratis putting Caratis back into her mind. She didn't want to think about it but she didn't have a choice. Caratis's laughter would start <c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : to fill her mind and speak to her about how she shouldn't have left him and she was going to pay for stealing his heart and ripping it to pieces before his eyes with no remorse. She had remorse, she loved him, but she didn't and wasn't going to leave her father and stay in the Fae realm. She loved to be in Eladrin. The more she thought about <c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : Caratis the more tears filled her eyes falling out of the closed lids down her cheeks as she folded her arms under her bust trying not to shake and keeping herself still. <e>
·Izzy· : -Izzy pulled a mock expression of something vaguely resembling offence at the suggestion that she was incapable of such things! "Contrary to popular belief, I'm perfectly capable of steath and passivity. I've just never had much of a capability to sit by and let things happen if stopping them is within my grasp." Well, that and she got bored and c>
Sarkas_Eldithas He would dip the quill before kneeling and writing words of dispell magic down her left arm before long every inch of exposed flesh on her left arm was covered in the blue ink he would inspect over his work a moment before quickly moving onto her right arm. Here he would cover her skin in a remove curse spell again writing the words of the spell >
·Izzy· : twitchy easily. It was one of the curses of so much energy contained in so small a place, or in this case, a person. "Illusions have never been much of a problem. As for iron? Can't stand the stuff. It's heavy, always impure, and melts too easily." She didn't really carry weapons or armour, so that limited a lot. The metal she DID have on her c>
Sarkas_Eldithas upon every inch of skin exposed. He'd set the quill in the ink bottle and take hold of her hands before she would move to cross them able to feel her shiver of fear. He'd move to wipe away her tears a moment before speaking. "Do not move keep your arms at your sides and try not to cry if even one word of these spells is smeared they will not >
·Izzy· : clothing was...Different. Interesting. Silver featured heavily, as did several less 'mundane' materials. And almost all of it was enchanted practically within an inch of its existence. "Out of interest, are there any particular materials or kinds of creature that can lure anger?" She paused for a moment or two. "For instance, just as a c>
·Izzy· : hypothetical, how do people respond to...say...Constructs like golems. Or Celestials. Or...Ooh! I know! Dragons!" She sounded genuinely curious more than worried, that expertly played persona taking over as naturally as breathing to cover her true concern.-
Sarkas_Eldithas remove the spell that hangs over you..stay strong you won't remember any of it." He'd give her a moment to stop her tears and then began to write the last and final of the three spells mind blank. it took him only a moment to finish the last spell his eyes gazing over his spell work one last time before his hands would take hold of her own. He >
Оᴅїᴀɴᴀ❇Aєтнєʟwуɴє : .: She considered the suggestions of other things that might stir wild wrath. “Hm… I suppose it depends. The more spark of visible magic any of those possess will likely draw notice, unless it’s so much… like a dragon’s… perhaps those types might pass unhindered. But who could blame the wildfolk for avoiding a walking >
Sarkas_Eldithas would chant as he slowly lifted her left arm first his arcane power pouring into the runes activating the dispell small arcs of lighting raced up her arm as he chanted as the final word of power was spoken an audible pop would echo though the chamber a sign that magical effects had been removed from her. Next her right arm would be lifted the >
Оᴅїᴀɴᴀ❇Aєтнєʟwуɴє : Nightmare like that? But being that we’re not dragons, we just need to move stealthily, both physically and ethereally.” She declared with an adventurous smile, tossing her hands up about her face, with the wisps winking out of sight. “… though I think we’d be best served if we took a little time to each prepare. Thank you, >
Sarkas_Eldithas ink on that arm turned a bright green and slowly began to sink into her skin the magic coursing though her very veins cleansing her of any and all curse like effects purging them from her body. He'd let go of her arms his hands moving to either side of her face both of his thumbs coming to press against her forehead as he'd chant the final of >
Оᴅїᴀɴᴀ❇Aєтнєʟwуɴє : by the way. I did really need you to come with me, or my plans would have been halted. You’re a good friend for that.” She declared her ‘friend,’ even though they’d only known one another so briefly. The golden-haired fae beamed delightedly beneath closed lids. d :.
Sarkas_Eldithas the three spells. A white light would burn though her mind taking away the images of Sam's spell in an instant flash like white paint spilled over a painting of it all. The spell would prevent anyone from trying to reactivate the spell by mental commands she would be free now and as normal as ever. He'd slowly step away slumping rather quickly >
Sarkas_Eldithas to the ground he felt weak drained a great reserve of his arcane might gone now in freeing his daughter from those who would harm her..
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : She did what he said and did her best to calm himself as she remained with her eyes closed to concentrate letting her father Sarkas control her movements of her arms and what not keeping very still so she doesn't mess anything up. When everything else was finished she felt a ping in her mind and dropped to her knees. The memory of Caratis <c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : recently invading her mind went away in a puff of smoke not remembering of the terrifying things he said to her when she slept. But whatever Sam had sent through her that was remaining dormant till his command was aggravated when it started to have a barrier surround it. It sent a sharp pain through her mind as she went to her knees crying <c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : out when it sent that sharp pain through. What Sam had done was not gone, but it couldn't completely do the harm he intended whatever it was he intended. She put a hand to her head and saw her father go down to the floor. "No.." She said as she moved away from the circle to go to him looking over him putting a hand on his shoulder. She was <c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : not feeling well but ignored it to be at his side. "I told you I didn't want to hurt you..." She said softly as she wiped a tear from her eyes. Nimena got up and started walking towards them..<e>
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤ : Nimena giggled softly and walked over moving Gisselle's hand. "Don't worry child...he is not hurt, he is just exhausted. Casting an intricate arcane protection spell can take a lot out of someone. He is just weakened. but something that can be easily fixed." She said with a warm smile as Nimena placed a hand on each shoulder of the king and <c>
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤ : closed her eyes. Her body started to glow as she sent some of her celestial energy into Sarkas, not enough to wear her completely but enough so they could both move about if necessary with little trouble. After a few moments she stopped glowing and released his shoulders and helped Sarkas sit up. "There now see Gisselle....everything is fine.<c>
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤ : you will be fine...it will all be over soon.." She said softly as she finished sitting him up as Sarkas stood nodding and kissing his daughters forehead before heading towards his private chambers. <e>
ζυςίεɳ¤ƊᾶгᾶѕϮгίӿ : As soon as the imp was seeing what was going on it would send an sos to Lucien... who would appear within the very flames of the huge hearth in the main hall. He did not see Sarkas anywhere but he did see his daughter on the floor and with a snapping growl did he glare towards Nim... "Explain what the fuck is happening here?" he asked as he went >
ζυςίεɳ¤ƊᾶгᾶѕϮгίӿ : to kneel next to Gisselle to help her up off of the floor and into his arms. His eyes flames of angry fire as he stood there.... each and every flame in the room burning high and with an extreme heat as if he may actually try and burn the place down. The room itself began to rise up in temperature while he waited for the explanation of why it was >
ζυςίεɳ¤ƊᾶгᾶѕϮгίӿ : that everyone seemed to wish his daughter harm.~
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤ : "Lucien calm yourself immediately!" She called out and stood up walking right over to him with Gisselle in his arms staring him out and speaking to him firmly. "King Sarkas placed a protection spell on her, to removed some ailments that were plaguing her....Nimena was not one to get yelled at by anyone including Lucien, Lucien should know <c>
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤ : better that all he had to do was ask. She saw Gisselle hide her head in his chest to block the light from her eyes as she focused on her mind for a moment, her eyes glowing gold to try to get a read on her. Her eyes stopped glowing as she closed them shaking her head a moment before continuing to speak. "He was able to protect her from being<c>
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤ : controlled by the spell Sam had casted, but the spell is still dormant within her, I am not exactly sure what is suppose to trigger it, but at least whenever it is triggered it will not have as much control over her as Sam and whoever odered this intends...." She stated as she spoke out. "Let the guard take her to her chambers....have your <c>
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤ : sprite follow them then follow me....." She explained waiting for him to follow her orders while seeing if he would go with her to the war room. <e>
ζυςίεɳ¤ƊᾶгᾶѕϮгίӿ : he actually kind of shrunk but only to the slightest... he knew he over stepped himself this time but this was his daughter for Christ's sake, what did they expect? He should have shown more... control then this. Guard first... father second... was that not what he told Gisselle twice now? When the guards came to take her from him he would >
ζυςίεɳ¤ƊᾶгᾶѕϮгίӿ : hesitate but then relinguished her to them. He hissed towards the flames and the imp eeped softly with a nod of his head, while he then slipped away as the flames and the heat in the room started to... subside. "For... give me, Lady Nimena." he lowered his head with a hand to the left of his chest while showing the respect she deserved. He then >
ζυςίεɳ¤ƊᾶгᾶѕϮгίӿ : stood straight and walked after her but with a backward glance towards his daughter ~
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤ : Nimena walked up to the war room and opened the door for him watching him enter when his daugher was out of sight slightly put a smile on her face, he enveloped a bond quickly. She smiled to him and spoke out softly. "Don't mistake my shout for anger Lucien. I had to get you centered. What I saw when you ran in was a scared father who saw <c>
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤ : his baby girl injured. There is nothing wrong with that.." She explained as she sat in her chair and folded her arms. "I had to get you grounded, to make you realize what you saw at first glance was not an attack on your daughter but a protection spell. Sam had casted some sort of mental attack spell, one that we cannot get rid of completely<c>
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤ : but if we can put protection on her and keep her from pain....that is better then doing nothing at all. Sarkas had casted it....her head is probably throbbing a little from Sarkas's magic and Sams magic clashing during the enchantment. Knowing Sam as well as I do in the past a magic attack on a woman is not something he would do unless he is <c>
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤ : paid to do it, and if paid to do a job he will not stop till he is finished. So there are two ways to handle this carefully and quietly.." She explained with a heavy sigh not liking either choice. "We can either double Sam's pay off to take it away or find the culprit that paid him and have him dispatched.." She explained as she looked to <c.
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤ : him awaiting a response. <e>
ζυςίεɳ¤ƊᾶгᾶѕϮгίӿ : He smiled ever so slightly but nodded his head... "I... understand and noted... I shall not be as such again, M'Lady. As for Samurai... I had banned him from going near my daughter and the castle itself. He also said that he completed his jobs that he had been assigned. I can only see the two things you just mentioned happening. When we make a >
ζυςίεɳ¤ƊᾶгᾶѕϮгίӿ : double payment to Samurai we could ask for the name of his... employer as well but I have a feeling that it will not be that easy... not with a man like Samurai, M'Lady." he lowered his head towards her again though he really just wished to kill the bastard for doing anything to his daughter in the first place. "The night this happened to Gisselle>
ζυςίεɳ¤ƊᾶгᾶѕϮгίӿ : I was out in the forests taking a... day off but my imp was able to show me that somehow, Samurai is able to gain the... third eye." he sighed softly ~
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤ : "Sam is a disturbed man with many skeletons in his closet that he tries to hide with ale which clouds his visions.." She explained sighing lightly. "He is so clouded he knows I am engaged to wed and the daft swordsman had the nerve to try and sneak into my chambers for......bah I don't even want to say it.." She said shaking her head...she<c>
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤ : giggled for a moment before speaking out. "Then again that is not the first man I have had to chase away I am sure you remember from the past, as a matter of fact I remember recalling you chasing a few away for me.." She said with a chuckle as she stood up and stretched. She smiled and walked to the door opening it to see to one of the guards<c>
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤ : "Fetch my horse, Izzy and two guards...We leave for Valane tomorrow morning first light.." The guard noted and went to take care of her orders as requested. "I will speak to Sam myself....I can deal with him, with a feminine diplomatic approach, he will not dare attack me, he remembers the last time he tried.." She said with a chuckle, and <c>
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤ : smiled brighter showing her fangls a little bit. "If I cannot reason with him then I will have to explain to Catarina why I have put a hit on her swordsman....speaking of which, for him being one of her guardians he sure isn't doing much of that either.." She explained as she wondered if she should also bring this matter to Catarina, reminding<c>
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤ : her that her sword attacking the princess could possibly be considered a violation of the treaty agreement. "I am sure Lady Catarina would be highly opposed to a civil war if she does not help me put an end to this silly madness....go to your daughter, one way or another, I will fix this mess.." She explained...she was probably going to need <c>
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤ : Damien and Drumain with her when she goes to Valane, the more powerful the merrier, she knew Sarkas and Lucien could handle the home front with her away. <e>
ζυςίεɳ¤ƊᾶгᾶѕϮгίӿ : he narrowed his eyes... "There was a woman with him this earlier eve when I had confronted him about this... attack upon Gisselle, Nimena. I am not sure who she was but she seemed to be pretty adament in watching his... back so to speak. Just be careful of who is with him when you do actually go to confront him. I was sure if Samurai had not>
ζυςίεɳ¤ƊᾶгᾶѕϮгίӿ : looked towards her... she would have tried to attack myself and I would not have liked killing a female to keep myself protected." he grimaced slightly for he had to do so in order to gain his freedom from the Drow Slavers. "I shall be with her 24/7 till this is all over with." he again lowered his head towards her only to then watch her tell the >
ζυςίεɳ¤ƊᾶгᾶѕϮгίӿ : guard to ready horse and others. He did not like this either but it seemed that this was going to be the only recourse seeing as how Lucien did tell Samurai he was not allowed within the Castle or near his daughter again.~
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : He would hear Nimena chuckle as she walked away thinking if Lucien only knew what happened to her a couple of days ago. In the meantime Gisselle was not ready for bed, she didn't want to sleep right now, the guards were outside her door, pacing outside her balcony below. She was nervous that Sam would find her again. She never understood what<c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : he had against her. It was a mental attack, what exactly was he trying to do then? She paced in her room offered some tea by one of the maids she nodded as she was lead to a chair in her room. She sat down on the large chair and sighed lightly. Her head still throbbed and her hands were shaky as she sipped her tea remembering her father <c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : Lucien running in screaming, her father Sarkas leaving weak. She felt like she caused problems no matter where she went. Maybe she needed to leave for a little while. She knew Derik maybe could help her more. She wanted to go see him for some reason. She saw the changes in the fireplace and she spoke out. "Come to me I wont hurt you.." She<c
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : said to the thing in the fire that had been watching her waiting to see if it would come see her. If it hopped in her lap she would smile and start to pet its heading thinking how cute it was, if it stayed in the fire she would give the fireplace a sad face. <e>
ζυςίεɳ¤ƊᾶгᾶѕϮгίӿ : the imp looked towards her and blinked those tiny beady charcoal eyes at her while tilting it's head. He was about to step out when Lucien would finally arrive to his daughter's room. Knocking upon the door to wait to be allowed within.. even if he saw his daughter through the imp's eyes. He thought it best to do it the more... polite manner than >
ζυςίεɳ¤ƊᾶгᾶѕϮгίӿ : he had last night. The imp on the other hand slithered back more into the flames for he was not sure how Lucien would react of him coming out to see the lovely young lady. His thoughts going back to the laughter that Nim gave him when he told her about the female that was with Samurai and wondered what that was all about but then thought it best >
ζυςίεɳ¤ƊᾶгᾶѕϮгίӿ : to not even ask of it~
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : Gisselle saw the imp start to step out and jumped a bit at the knock on the door. She set her tea cup down and made sure her face was straightened speaking out in soft tones. "Enter..." She said softly standing up in her room folding her arms around her bust standing near the fire because her hair was still wet and it was a little chilly. She<c
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : was pretty sure it was her father Lucien at her door. She smiled at the little imp when he went back to the flame before keeping her attention at the door waiting for the person to enter. <e>
ζυςίεɳ¤ƊᾶгᾶѕϮгίӿ : He nodded to the guards to stay where they were and then he entered within as soon as he heard her words to enter. Enter he did with his sparkling crystal blue eyes gazing her up and down, slowly. He would note that she had been washed up after the magics had been placed upon her frame. He smiled lightly to her and walked on over to her as one of >
ζυςίεɳ¤ƊᾶгᾶѕϮгίӿ : the guards shut the door behind Lucien. He put his arms out to take her within them and kissed her head of crimson mane lightly. "I am just glad you are safe... or so they hope that you are. Nimena will be going to Valane to speak with Samurai, himself and as well as Catarina to let her know this is going against the treaty we have with Valane. >
ζυςίεɳ¤ƊᾶгᾶѕϮгίӿ : She hopes that Catarina maybe able to speak some sense into Samurai or that Nemina can do so but for the now... I shall be at your side 24/7 till things settle down and even then I shall still stick around ever so closely for since I have been back, you have been attacked, a prisoner that had attacked you before was set free... " shaking his head >
ζυςίεɳ¤ƊᾶгᾶѕϮгίӿ : he hugged her to him even more tightly.~
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : She hugged him back and he was very warm so it felt nice as she listened to his words. She let out a soft sigh giving him a little kiss on the cheek before moving back to her tea and taking a sip sitting down with a look of worry as she spoke out. "I am not sure how much she will get if at all of Lady Catarina. Aunt Cat is not the same as of <c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : late then she was when Aunt Nim saw her last.." She explained as she went into further dept. "From what I understand The king of Vanderia....Matheus I believe his name is...I have not met the man yet personally. but he has ordered Catarina to stay at the castle and fullfill her duties till the spires are gone from around Valane city. Which <c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : is what she was explaining to my father Sarkas before we left and returned home to deal with the vampire and demonic threat,.." She explained as she took another sip of her tea setting her cup down and sighing heavily. "Father Sarkas and Catarina were in love, but since weve returned home I have hardly seen him nor heard him speak her name once<c
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : and the friends that Sam keeps around some are not the friendliest bunch in Valane. A Lady Crow in particular attempted to drown me when I slapped Sam the first time for insulting my father Sarkas and my previous courtship with Caratis..." If her father Lucien stayed with her all night last night, he probably would have heard her yell about <c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : Caratis in her sleep....but she no has no memory of her nightmare last night. <e>
ζυςίεɳ¤ƊᾶгᾶѕϮгίӿ : he blinked and grimaced for though she was old enough to be courted he was still not liking it. he sat across from her and folded his arms over his chest and listened to her words. "If I remember correctly and so long ago is that Catarina was bannished from her lands for a lot of things. I am sure that if she wishes that not to happen again... she>
ζυςίεɳ¤ƊᾶгᾶѕϮгίӿ : will be more than cooperative in the end. As for this king Matheus... is that not her twin brother?" he asked with a lofting of one brow while he became a bit more curious about these rulers in Valane city. "I remember Queen Crystal and how she was a very hot headed and firy lady but she still put her people before herself." He chuckled softly and>
ζυςίεɳ¤ƊᾶгᾶѕϮгίӿ : shook his head a bit... ~
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : She shrugged her shoulders. "I do not know about that sorted past...I have heard rumors about it but Queen Crystal had left Valane when I was but a babe of twenty....As for King Matheus yes I do believe he is her twin brother....if she could get to him before Lady Catarina that would probably be for the best...as I said...Lady Catarina was not <c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : herself, in the hot spring she walked away leaving me with Sam and his angry friends to attempt to attack me.. Thankfully at least I am what is called most of the time an escape artist.." She said with a chuckle. She sighed lightly about her getting attacked lately and spoke out. "I have seemed to have bad luck with people since my mother <c.
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : died...I never knew that I had so many troubles with people. Father Sarkas said I was kept in a box and it was time for me to make my own decisions, which is when Lord Caratis asked if he could court me and he said it was up to me...I said yes because I thought I was in love...he was so kind, so gentle. we would run through the forests....hold<c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : hands, dance.....but when he returned from the Fey realm discovering his other half he had changed....and not for the good, threatening Nimena that he was going to take me to the Fey realm when they weren't looking if they were not more diligent with the problems facing my kingdom....when I heard of his threat I broke the courtship immediately.<c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : and ordered him to stay away from Eladrin.." She said softly shaking her head. "Father Sarkas had just lost my mother...I did not want him to loose me too.." She explained, and took a sip of her tea as she giggled a moment. "Now I have two fathers and a brother to worry for." She said looking to the fire pit at the imp and spoke out. "Can <c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : I pet him?" She asked curiously looking at the fireplace. <E>
ζυςίεɳ¤ƊᾶгᾶѕϮгίӿ : he was not liking the words that were coming from between her lips and even thought about confronting Sarkas with this and that of what Nimena had planned... in going to Valane and confronting the Queen and that of Samurai. He then looked on over to the flames and smiled lightly as he would see the imp seemingly to also be listening in on the >
ζυςίεɳ¤ƊᾶгᾶѕϮгίӿ : conversation as well. He would wave his hand towards himself and the imp would then jump from the flames onto Lucien's outstretched palm. He then was set onto the table gently as if he were pretty fragile but the little one could take a goodly punishing if the need arose. The little thing looked around with those beady charcoal eyes and even gave >
ζυςίεɳ¤ƊᾶгᾶѕϮгίӿ : out a soft purring crooning sound. this had Lucien chuckling softly. "He thinks you are pretty."~
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : Gisselle smiled warmly at the little imp and started to chuckle a little bit when her dad said that the little imp said she was pretty. "He is cute too.." She said as she moved her hand slowly and she knew flames were hot but something told her this little thing wouldn't hurt her as she started to rub his head gently with her index finger as <c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : she spoke out. "So you are the little one thats been watching me this whole time humm?" She said with a chuckle She then turned back to her father speaking out seeing the looks on her face. "Father....theres probably going to be a lot of things that are going to happen eventually that your not going to like, I saw your grimace when I spoke <c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : of my previous courtship.." She explained as she continued on. "I am going to have to go to balls and formals here and in other kingdoms meeting débutantes and royals from all over the Vanderian continent..Theres going to be men pining for my hand...mostly the elves from here and the elven territory wishing to seek the Eladrin throne at my <c>

In either case I know you and I have missed a lot from each other, but no matter what happens...from the day you entered this kingdom and<c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : found me on....like father Sarkas, I will always love you and always from now on be your little girl....that part will never change.." She said with a warm smile on her face as she reached over taking his hand giving it a gentle squeeze. <e>
ζυςίεɳ¤ƊᾶгᾶѕϮгίӿ : he sighed and shook his head a bit.... "I wish I would have been here to see you grow up into the lovely woman you are now, Gisselle. Sure there are things that you still need to learn but you have so much to offer a young, strong lad. I just wish to see you happy and succeed in whomever you choose as your future husband." when she would squeeze >
ζυςίεɳ¤ƊᾶгᾶѕϮгίӿ : his hand he would smile and bringing it up to his lips did he kiss it lightly upon the palm and bring it to his cheek... The imp blinked and looked between the both of them only to hop up onto those hands being held by each of them and crooned softly. Lucien laughing lightly... "the past is the past and the future is now. Let us focus on it and >
ζυςίεɳ¤ƊᾶгᾶѕϮгίӿ : have the most wondrous journey we can have." ~
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : She chuckled softly at the little imp speaking out. "I think he is starved for affection...I don't think he likes to be in hiding all the time..." She said chuckling as she picked up the imp gently with her other hand and set him gently on the table speaking out. "You don't have to hide all the time with me, if you want to run out and sit on <c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : my shoulder or sit in my hand your welcome to do so.." She said to the little guy not knowing if he understood common or elvish...or had his own language that only her father understood. "I guess the Sam setback my training I was suppose to have today...and Izzy is ...well haven't exactly seen her.." She explained with a heavy sigh as she <c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : looked to her bed. "I know I should lay down.....but something inside me is not wanting me to sleep....." She said with a frustrated sigh taking another sip of her tea. "With as much stuff that has happened in the past you think what Sam did would be as easy as pie.....I guess the bad things never get easier.." She explained as she looked <c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : back over to her father quirking a brow. "I always see you running around training, keeping an eye on me. Do you ever sleep I wonder?" She asked curiously with a chuckle as she awaited his response. <e>
ζυςίεɳ¤ƊᾶгᾶѕϮгίӿ : He chuckled a bit more only to then look on over to his daughter once more. Those eyes sparkling with the color of flames and a smile upon his tanned lips. He put his hand out for her to take again and this time he would stand up from his chair as he then lifted or helped her from her own chair. "Come... " was all he would say while directing her >
ζυςίεɳ¤ƊᾶгᾶѕϮгίӿ : to her own bed. Shoving the covers back for her to get on the bed and be covered up... "Do you trust me?" he asked lightly as he watched her... hopefully get into bed. "I do sleep, Gisselle but I do so in a different way than what you do every night. I meditate so that I may stay alert and be able to be up at a moments notice to keep you well >
ζυςίεɳ¤ƊᾶгᾶѕϮгίӿ : protected from harm. It would seem it is not working at this time for then Samurai would not have been able to do what he did to you." he grimaced slightly ~
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : She got up when he asked her too and walked over to the bed and blinked when he asked him if she trusts him speaking out. "Of course I trust you....your my father, why wouldn't I?" Was it a blind trust, more then likely. But she had dreamed of her real father for her entire life, and when she first saw him a child knows their parents just as <c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : much as a parent knows their child...it was a blind instinct and an unconditional love she had for a lifetime...She crawled into bed and listened to his explanation on how he meditates and started to blame himself for Sam. "Don't blame yourself. Not even Nimena saw that coming...and he had been here many times before without incident. None <c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : of us ever saw him capable of something such as this so we are just as much to blame as you for being so trusting.." She explained to him as she put her head on the pillow sighing lightly, here eyes were wide open but her body was exhausted from the Arcane spells. <e>
ζυςίεɳ¤ƊᾶгᾶѕϮгίӿ : he smiled down at her and sat on the edge of her bed while then speaking in a light mono toned voice. "Close your eyes, little one. listen to only the tones of my song. Let yourself go and worry about nothing at all." he would then begin to hum the tune he had done last night while rubbing her forehead in the middle of her eye brows and just about>
ζυςίεɳ¤ƊᾶгᾶѕϮгίӿ : a small pinky finger tip up from the bridge of her nose. Humming lightly with the slight feathery touch upon her forehead and the tones so soothingly coming from between his slightly parted lips. He still felt that Samurai will not listen to reasoning but he hoped that Samurai did for then there would hopefully be no blood shed to come afterwards.~
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : She closed her eyes as he said to do and started listening to that same tune from last night. She didn't remember her mother humming that tune, but she remembered in her dreams her father would sing, it was usually different every time but she didn't recall this tune. She felt him rubbing her forehead and canted her head towards him...the more<c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : he rubbed her head the more tired she got. eventually her body just started to curl around him while he was rubbing her head. After a few moments she was finally out of it. It was amazing how fast she went to sleep, she wouldn't probably remember how fast she went to sleep. It was nice to have a father that was able to have some extra free <c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : time to spend with her, but that didn't make her love Sarkas any less. He cared for her too just in different ways. <e>
ζυςίεɳ¤ƊᾶгᾶѕϮгίӿ : he watched her as each degree of the rubbing finger and the tune he would hear Tylan's mother sing to him, would slip from between his lips... the muscles ever so slowly relaxing till finally she went limp on the bed but he would keep doing this for a bit more of time. Eventually he would get up from the edge of the bed in such a way that she >
ζυςίεɳ¤ƊᾶгᾶѕϮгίӿ : would not have realized he was gone. The imp already back in the flames and stoking them a bit more to keep the room nice and warm. Lucien then went and sat in the chair with feet up on the coffee table and arms folded over his chest. he would do a bit of meditation this eve in a way to watch over his lovely daughter and keep her safe from harm...~
·Izzy· : alive upon spotting the two flying balls of light, though not before trying to carry on training with naught more than a blink to try and shake them. No. Okay! They were real. And while Izzy -could- be incredibly focused, she was also somewhat catlike when it came to movements, colours, and bright and shiny objects. The disembodied voice of the c>
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤ : sighing lightly feeling something wrong with her but she couldn't place it. She walked up to her and placed a hand on Gisselle's head and attempted to search what was wrong. Closing her eyes she started to glow a pale glow in attempting to heal Gisselle if there was a disease on her. Something within Gisselle blasted Nimena backwards about <c>
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤ : four feet making Nimena land on her feet and crouching down tired like a cat ready to pounce again but tiredly. Her fangs showed a little as she growled slightly not knowing what was happening. Nothing was happening right with Nimena's spells as before. She was confused, she had to figure out her center again. Meantime she stood and looked <c>
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤ : to Gisselle. Something pushed back Nimena but she wasn't sure what it was as she spoke softly. "Sam.....I heard you and he....had a problem?" She asked softly then straightened out her gown when she saw Sarkas and bowed back to him speaking out. "I am happy to see you your majesty.." She said with a warm smile bowing her head then looked to <c>
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤ : the princess nodding her head to search her father for answers. <e>
·Izzy· : artifact seemed to 'warn' her only after she was already distracted, watching the things flitter about. 'Iz-' Was disrupted by her own response. "Yuuuuuuup. I see them..." She paused for a moment. "...Kinda pretty." She was unnaturally still, watching them with little more than eye movements to start with. Without warning, she'd spring up and c>
·Izzy· : forward with unnatural agility in an attempt to catch one in between cupped, gloved hands, landing back in a low crouch no matter the result. In a real fight she wasn't anywhere near as distracted, but...Well, shiny objects! Magical shiny objects! It was a reminded of just precisely how mercurial her mood could be.-
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : Gisselle felt a slight headache when Nimena attempted to pry. She didn't get a chance to say hello to Odiana before she was gone again. She looked to Nimena who got blasted back, she never seen Nimena in such a state before. Did Gisselle do that to her. Is this was Sam had put upon her, some sort of curse to isolate herself from others? She<c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : didn't know but then her father showed up, she saw Nimena's face to talk to him and she shook her head. "No, I don't want the same thing that just happened to you happen to anyone of my fathers or anyone else..." She said softly and stepped away from him and Nimena. She was visably upset, a lot of things were bothering her since last night <c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : especially her nightmare but she was trying to erase it from memory as she wanted to leave the main hall looking to the two of them awaiting to be dismissed. <e>
Sarkas_Eldithas He had noticed Lady Odiana for a brief moment before she had exited from the main hall he was curosious as to what she was going to go get herself into but had a larger priority to deal with at the moment. He'd watch Nimena's attempts at divine magic his brow lifting ever so slightly as whatever magics that'd be cast upon his daughter lashed out >
Sarkas_Eldithas at the priestess. A look of concern came over him as he stared towards Gisselle his head shaking from side to side. "Be still my daughter no harm will come to any of us." He'd move closer to Gisselle his hands already forming arcane sigils as he began to chant a very basic wizard spell as the final word of power left his lips he'd swipe his right >
Sarkas_Eldithas hand over his eyes as his hand dropped he'd stare at his daughter though arcane site as he walked around her examining the magics cast about her. "It's arcane in nature it appears to be of the school of enchantments.." He would pulled his sword from his belt resting it on the floor before resuming walking around his daughter. "Describe the spell >
Sarkas_Eldithas he cast onto you as much of it as you can remember any clue will help me to figure out if I can remove it.."
Оᴅїᴀɴᴀ❇Aєтнєʟwуɴє : .: As is the nature of will-o-wisps, they evaded and looped about, hovering in sight for a moment, then both swooped down and beneath the small gap under the door.

Оᴅїᴀɴᴀ❇Aєтнєʟwуɴє : distance back from the door in case it was kicked outward, not that Izzy’s behaviors could be predicted among a variety of sudden violences at all. “I have a dangerous quest that I need your expert assistance with,” she purred the temptation of chaos to lure Izzy out in the wake of the wisps. “I cannot go alone lest >
Оᴅїᴀɴᴀ❇Aєтнєʟwуɴє : I violate a dictate laid upon me. But if you join me…” She trailed off, hoping for the woman to emerge. Then concluded, “…that solves that problem, yeah?” She stood, the red petal-work of her merry dress settling about her rosy knees again. “It’s called The Hedge. An in-between world to separate this from my homeland. >

¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : Nimena remained silent bowing to the king and allowing him to do what he must as Nim rested on the steps and watched in silence knowing he was stronger at the moment then she, but she would get her bearings back soon enough. Gisselle was shaking her head at her father at first but listened when he told her to be still. She kept her eyes open <c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : and listened about whatever was upon her. When he asked her for information on what happened last night she finally closed her eyes trying to remember everything that happened last night as she spoke softly. "Sam was provoking me, saying some not nice things about a guest named Tylan and myself....using vulgar language towards me ...things I <c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : cannot repeat for they make me feel dirty if I do.." She explained then let out a heavy sigh and continued on with her eyes still closed. "The next thing I know after he said those horrid things I lost control, I attempted to slap him. He smiled at me as if that was what he wished me to do and I somehow missed. He then came close and said do<c>

I was frozen.....then his head opened up and a third eye came from him......then there was a flash....then he went from vulgar and violent to smiling and gentlemanly apologizing for his actions......something about what he did put me in fear....I ran.......that was all I can remember..." She said softly with a tear in her eye and <c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : started to tell of her nightmare. "Last night out of the blue I had a dream of Caratis.....he was....laughing at me....as if saying that he got me.....and the fun wasn't over....." There were other parts to it that again she couldn't repeat as finally opened her eyes but her head was down, she couldn't look up, she couldn't believe she <c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : couldn't get away from Sam's trick. <e>
·Izzy· : -With a moment of disappointment at missing the damnable glowy objects, there was a sigh, along with a rather sarcastic and somewhat playful, but still hollow 'Next time...' from the male voice of the Codex, which she once again turned to glare at, albeit more playfully than she had in the past. Hearing the voice follow up the escape of her prey,c>

"Dangerous? Well, that sounds fun already..." In the light of the hall the training rooms c>
Sarkas_Eldithas From the sounds of things as Gisselle desribed the spell to him he knew it was either a curse or an enchatment either way he had spells that could counteract both acts but he needed to gather some things first.

He'd slowly walk a circle around his daughter leaving a trail >

He'd unstopped the bottle of ink dabbing the quill in as he began to write out wards of protection in high elven. He'd write the wards from the outer edges of the circle all the way to the center >
Sarkas_Eldithas where should stood pausing every now and again to check his work.

Soon the circle began to glow a bright red and the wards he'd written would burst into blue flame as the protection >
Sarkas_Eldithas spell was completed. Once he was certain he'd stand and aapproch his daughter ink and quill still in hand. "Gisselle I need you to concentrate on the nightmares with Caratis in them focus your mind on them but do not move do you understand?"
Оᴅїᴀɴᴀ❇Aєтнєʟwуɴє : .: Odiana turned her calming face up toward Izzy’s downright demonic expression, fit with violent features between the scar and the sharp teeth. At times like this, a person realized both terror of, and relief in having such comrades as this. She blurted an unexpected laugh when asked about downsides. “For you, >
Оᴅїᴀɴᴀ❇Aєтнєʟwуɴє : I think the downside is that we need to attempt to move carefully, as to disturb as little trouble as possible. We’re going, on this venture, to observe.

Оᴅїᴀɴᴀ❇Aєтнєʟwуɴє : Illusions run thick in faery places. Keep your wits. Bring no iron. It’s a bane and will lure anger.

¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : She waited there standing still as her father was spreading sands and writing things around her not moving except to bring her hands over her eyes when the lights started to glow around the circle he created, it was slightly blinding since she was in the center. She almost jumped when she saw the flames surround her but didn't move until they <c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : dimmed which was when she put her hands down. When he said she needed to concentrate on the nightmares and closed her eyes remaining as still as she could. She started thinking about the nightmares with Caratis putting Caratis back into her mind. She didn't want to think about it but she didn't have a choice. Caratis's laughter would start <c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : to fill her mind and speak to her about how she shouldn't have left him and she was going to pay for stealing his heart and ripping it to pieces before his eyes with no remorse. She had remorse, she loved him, but she didn't and wasn't going to leave her father and stay in the Fae realm. She loved to be in Eladrin. The more she thought about <c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : Caratis the more tears filled her eyes falling out of the closed lids down her cheeks as she folded her arms under her bust trying not to shake and keeping herself still. <e>
·Izzy· : -Izzy pulled a mock expression of something vaguely resembling offence at the suggestion that she was incapable of such things! "Contrary to popular belief, I'm perfectly capable of steath and passivity. I've just never had much of a capability to sit by and let things happen if stopping them is within my grasp."

When everything else was finished she felt a ping in her mind and dropped to her knees. The memory of Caratis <c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : recently invading her mind went away in a puff of smoke not remembering of the terrifying things he said to her when she slept. But whatever Sam had sent through her that was remaining dormant till his command was aggravated when it started to have a barrier surround it. It sent a sharp pain through her mind as she went to her knees crying <c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : out when it sent that sharp pain through. What Sam had done was not gone, but it couldn't completely do the harm he intended whatever it was he intended. She put a hand to her head and saw her father go down to the floor. "No.." She said as she moved away from the circle to go to him looking over him putting a hand on his shoulder. She was <c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : not feeling well but ignored it to be at his side. "I told you I didn't want to hurt you..." She said softly as she wiped a tear from her eyes. Nimena got up and started walking towards them..<e>
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤ : Nimena giggled softly and walked over moving Gisselle's hand. "Don't worry child...he is not hurt, he is just exhausted. Casting an intricate arcane protection spell can take a lot out of someone. He is just weakened. but something that can be easily fixed." She said with a warm smile as Nimena placed a hand on each shoulder of the king and <c>
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤ : closed her eyes. Her body started to glow as she sent some of her celestial energy into Sarkas, not enough to wear her completely but enough so they could both move about if necessary with little trouble. After a few moments she stopped glowing and released his shoulders and helped Sarkas sit up. "There now see Gisselle....everything is fine.<c>
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤ : you will be fine...it will all be over soon.." She said softly as she finished sitting him up as Sarkas stood nodding and kissing his daughters forehead before heading towards his private chambers. <e>
ζυςίεɳ¤ƊᾶгᾶѕϮгίӿ : As soon as the imp was seeing what was going on it would send an sos to Lucien... who would appear within the very flames of the huge hearth in the main hall. He did not see Sarkas anywhere but he did see his daughter on the floor and with a snapping growl did he glare towards Nim... "Explain what the fuck is happening here?" he asked as he went >

The room itself began to rise up in temperature while he waited for the explanation of why it was >

¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤ : "Lucien calm yourself immediately!" She called out and stood up walking right over to him with Gisselle in his arms staring him out and speaking to him firmly. "King Sarkas placed a protection spell on her, to removed some ailments that were plaguing her....Nimena was not one to get yelled at by anyone including Lucien, Lucien should know <c>
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤ : better that all he had to do was ask. She saw Gisselle hide her head in his chest to block the light from her eyes as she focused on her mind for a moment, her eyes glowing gold to try to get a read on her. Her eyes stopped glowing as she closed them shaking her head a moment before continuing to speak. "He was able to protect her from being<c>

He hissed towards the flames and the imp eeped softly with a nod of his head, while he then slipped away as the flames and the heat in the room started to... subside.

¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤ : Nimena walked up to the war room and opened the door for him watching him enter when his daugher was out of sight slightly put a smile on her face, he enveloped a bond quickly. She smiled to him and spoke out softly. "Don't mistake my shout for anger Lucien. I had to get you centered. What I saw when you ran in was a scared father who saw <c>
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤ : his baby girl injured. There is nothing wrong with that.." She explained as she sat in her chair and folded her arms. "I had to get you grounded, to make you realize what you saw at first glance was not an attack on your daughter but a protection spell. Sam had casted some sort of mental attack spell, one that we cannot get rid of completely<c>
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤ : but if we can put protection on her and keep her from pain....that is better then doing nothing at all. Sarkas had casted it....her head is probably throbbing a little from Sarkas's magic and Sams magic clashing during the enchantment. Knowing Sam as well as I do in the past a magic attack on a woman is not something he would do unless he is <c>
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤ : paid to do it, and if paid to do a job he will not stop till he is finished. So there are two ways to handle this carefully and quietly.." She explained with a heavy sigh not liking either choice. "We can either double Sam's pay off to take it away or find the culprit that paid him and have him dispatched.." She explained as she looked to <c.
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤ : him awaiting a response. <e>
ζυςίεɳ¤ƊᾶгᾶѕϮгίӿ : He smiled ever so slightly but nodded his head... "I... understand and noted... I shall not be as such again, M'Lady. As for Samurai... I had banned him from going near my daughter and the castle itself. He also said that he completed his jobs that he had been assigned. I can only see the two things you just mentioned happening. When we make a >

"The night this happened to Gisselle>
ζυςίεɳ¤ƊᾶгᾶѕϮгίӿ : I was out in the forests taking a... day off but my imp was able to show me that somehow, Samurai is able to gain the... third eye." he sighed softly ~
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤ : "Sam is a disturbed man with many skeletons in his closet that he tries to hide with ale which clouds his visions.." She explained sighing lightly. "He is so clouded he knows I am engaged to wed and the daft swordsman had the nerve to try and sneak into my chambers for......bah I don't even want to say it.." She said shaking her head...she<c>
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤ : giggled for a moment before speaking out. "Then again that is not the first man I have had to chase away I am sure you remember from the past, as a matter of fact I remember recalling you chasing a few away for me.." She said with a chuckle as she stood up and stretched. She smiled and walked to the door opening it to see to one of the guards<c>
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤ : "Fetch my horse, Izzy and two guards...We leave for Valane tomorrow morning first light.." The guard noted and went to take care of her orders as requested. "I will speak to Sam myself....I can deal with him, with a feminine diplomatic approach, he will not dare attack me, he remembers the last time he tried.." She said with a chuckle, and <c>
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤ : smiled brighter showing her fangls a little bit. "If I cannot reason with him then I will have to explain to Catarina why I have put a hit on her swordsman....speaking of which, for him being one of her guardians he sure isn't doing much of that either.." She explained as she wondered if she should also bring this matter to Catarina, reminding<c>
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤ : her that her sword attacking the princess could possibly be considered a violation of the treaty agreement. "I am sure Lady Catarina would be highly opposed to a civil war if she does not help me put an end to this silly madness....go to your daughter, one way or another, I will fix this mess.." She explained...she was probably going to need <c>
¤Ɲiɱέɳᾶ¤ : Damien and Drumain with her when she goes to Valane, the more powerful the merrier, she knew Sarkas and Lucien could handle the home front with her away. <e>

ζυςίεɳ¤ƊᾶгᾶѕϮгίӿ : guard to ready horse and others. He did not like this either but it seemed that this was going to be the only recourse seeing as how Lucien did tell Samurai he was not allowed within the Castle or near his daughter again.~
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : He would hear Nimena chuckle as she walked away thinking if Lucien only knew what happened to her a couple of days ago. In the meantime Gisselle was not ready for bed, she didn't want to sleep right now, the guards were outside her door, pacing outside her balcony below. She was nervous that Sam would find her again. She never understood what<c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : he had against her. It was a mental attack, what exactly was he trying to do then? She paced in her room offered some tea by one of the maids she nodded as she was lead to a chair in her room. She sat down on the large chair and sighed lightly. Her head still throbbed and her hands were shaky as she sipped her tea remembering her father <c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : Lucien running in screaming, her father Sarkas leaving weak. She felt like she caused problems no matter where she went. Maybe she needed to leave for a little while.

He was about to step out when Lucien would finally arrive to his daughter's room. Knocking upon the door to wait to be allowed within.. even if he saw his daughter through the imp's eyes. He thought it best to do it the more... polite manner than >
ζυςίεɳ¤ƊᾶгᾶѕϮгίӿ : he had last night. The imp on the other hand slithered back more into the flames for he was not sure how Lucien would react of him coming out to see the lovely young lady.

ζυςίεɳ¤ƊᾶгᾶѕϮгίӿ : to not even ask of it~
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : Gisselle saw the imp start to step out and jumped a bit at the knock on the door. She set her tea cup down and made sure her face was straightened speaking out in soft tones. "Enter..." She said softly standing up in her room folding her arms around her bust standing near the fire because her hair was still wet and it was a little chilly. She<c

Enter he did with his sparkling crystal blue eyes gazing her up and down, slowly. He would note that she had been washed up after the magics had been placed upon her frame. He smiled lightly to her and walked on over to her as one of >

¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : She hugged him back and he was very warm so it felt nice as she listened to his words. She let out a soft sigh giving him a little kiss on the cheek before moving back to her tea and taking a sip sitting down with a look of worry as she spoke out. "I am not sure how much she will get if at all of Lady Catarina. Aunt Cat is not the same as of <c>

"Father Sarkas and Catarina were in love, but since weve returned home I have hardly seen him nor heard him speak her name once<c
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : and the friends that Sam keeps around some are not the friendliest bunch in Valane. A Lady Crow in particular attempted to drown me when I slapped Sam the first time for insulting my father Sarkas and my previous courtship with Caratis..." If her father Lucien stayed with her all night last night, he probably would have heard her yell about <c>

Thankfully at least I am what is called most of the time an escape artist.." She said with a chuckle. She sighed lightly about her getting attacked lately and spoke out. "I have seemed to have bad luck with people since my mother <c.
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : died...I never knew that I had so many troubles with people.

ζυςίεɳ¤ƊᾶгᾶѕϮгίӿ : he smiled down at her and sat on the edge of her bed while then speaking in a light mono toned voice. "Close your eyes, little one. listen to only the tones of my song. Let yourself go and worry about nothing at all." he would then begin to hum the tune he had done last night while rubbing her forehead in the middle of her eye brows and just about>
ζυςίεɳ¤ƊᾶгᾶѕϮгίӿ : a small pinky finger tip up from the bridge of her nose. Humming lightly with the slight feathery touch upon her forehead and the tones so soothingly coming from between his slightly parted lips. He still felt that Samurai will not listen to reasoning but he hoped that Samurai did for then there would hopefully be no blood shed to come afterwards.~

She didn't remember her mother humming that tune, but she remembered in her dreams her father would sing, it was usually different every time but she didn't recall this tune. She felt him rubbing her forehead and canted her head towards him...the more<c>

It was amazing how fast she went to sleep, she wouldn't probably remember how fast she went to sleep. It was nice to have a father that was able to have some extra free <c>
¤Ҏгῖɳcέȿȿ☆Ǥῖȿȿέȴȴέ¤ : time to spend with her, but that didn't make her love Sarkas any less. He cared for her too just in different ways. <e>

Eventually he would get up from the edge of the bed in such a way that she >
ζυςίεɳ¤ƊᾶгᾶѕϮгίӿ : would not have realized he was gone. The imp already back in the flames and stoking them a bit more to keep the room nice and warm. Lucien then went and sat in the chair with feet up on the coffee table and arms folded over his chest. he would do a bit of meditation this eve in a way to watch over his lovely daughter and keep her safe from harm...~
