Ziqua swallowed and began trembling again. The thought of speaking in front of so many people terrified her. Priestess Anna nodded “The Inquisitor is currently in one of your cells. A Gnome by the name of Vonelix. Tygarr nodded. He seemed to have calmed down although he seemed in a daze ~~~ “Oh,” Canty said Zach smiled “As I said might be good for Sam too, to meet people and socialize.” Calarys nodded. “I justs hopes Colby cans adjusts... maybes if yours sons talks tos hims?” The children leaned forward “They's were missing the mast?” Limberger asked. Calarys tried to hold back a giggle at her son's question. ~~~~ Alyerra returned the embrace. She said nothing regarding his comment of Rodcet Nife. She was unsure what to say as her own faith in any of the Norathian deities had been shattered. “Yes,” Tetriemmy answered as she stepped inside. Senriala stepped in and around the Ratonga. Alyerra looked up as her mother entered the room. “I'm fine Mom.” she said. “Oh?” Senri answered “Tetri filled me in as we walked. I would not call that fine. But you will be.” “Hopefully,” Tetri answered. The Tier'dal turned “What you mean hopefully? You said you knew how to” The Ratonga Fury sighed “I do, but I have some concerns regarding the unnatural energy... to be honest if they are intertwined we will need to be careful how much of the unnatural energy and...” Alyerra sighed “You mean the necromantic? Let me guess if too much is taken away then I could be... destroyed?” Tetriemmy nodded “It is a possibility.” “Wonderful...” Alyerra responded “But I have little choice. I'm ready when everyone else is.” she looked from Tetri to her mother to the other mages. ~~~~~ Xia stood and walked to stand beside him “Of course you are.” she whispered “You will always be Padparadisch Padatasch. I am Xiaminara Crimsonsong. I will always be Xiaminara Crimsonsong. There is nothing that changes who you are unless you want it to. I go by Xia because it's easier for most people. Shortening your name does not change who you are.” she grinned exposing her fangs. ~~~~ Tari's wings drooped when the Kerra claimed the tiger. “How do ya lose a cat that big?” the Arasai asked. “I mean not that anyone would want ta harm such a pretty thing.” Brienae shook her head “He returned to Kelethin yes.” she sighed “I think I will return. I must talk to Uncle Yenter anyway...” she closed her eyes “My apologies that you had to come across this scene...” “How much ya getting paid for this Cuz? If I were you I'd ask for a raise.” “I volunteered... kind of... Uncle Yenter asked me to help him and I did... well I tried.” “Ya are such an idiot.” Tari sighed “My rule, never do nothing for free.” ~~~ Relane knelt beside her daughter and hugged her “It's alright, he'll never hurt you again.” Galabrin pick up the book. He did not look into it. “Would you like to destroy it?” he asked his daughter. ~~~~ Sam nodded. “I don't want to be any trouble.” he said in Ginnar and Carl's mind Carl sighed. ~~~~ Lazerra watched the air for a few moments“The druidic energy is intertwined into the Necromantic. They need help either un-entangling it or making sure that they do not drain to much of the Necromantic energy from her. I don't think you should change your race. Just chane people's perception of you.” ~~~~ Tsimia smiled “Oh thank you,” she said “My uncle found them during Tinkerfest.” she placed her hands on her head as it began explode into pain. “I knew I should have left the... hmm what was it? Should leave it out next time.... gives me nasty headaches.” ((I can't draw worth a flip myself, but I do enjoy the artwork of others. I used Bella's desktop on my laptop for a while. I still have it saved. I look forward to seeing your art work as well))
(( Hey you three, I'm actually going to be taking the next few days (maybe even a whole week) off to be with the family and wrap presents ^-^ You three can continue on if'n ya like ))
((Merry Christmas y'all. No problem Iksaress. I'm not sure how much posting I'll be doing. It's looking to be a busy week. Hope all of y'all enjoy the holidays))
((Merry Christmas you guys! I've got a house full of family for a few days so I probably won't be posting for a bit either. I hope you guys have a fun and jolly holiday! ))
((Looks like we've all been a bit busy. x) I know that Christmas is over, but the holidays have yet begun in my household. lol My family won't be leaving until after New Years. x3 Have fun all you guys! ))
Lamia sighed and nodded. "Sure, sure, I know.." she mumbled, sighing again. She had nothing else to say, so she really just kept her mouth silent more of the time the two of them had been walking. +++++++++++++++ Shiasia listened to the conversation idly, rocking her son quietly. She looked out the window briefly. She rubbed her eyes with one paw and shook her head. She stood up from her chair. "I'm afraid I must retire to the bed room for a little bit.. I'm rather tired." she said with a heavy sigh, walking up the ramp and into the bed room she had been given. She put her son in the crib and then also laid down on her own bed, closing her eyes and waiting to fall asleep. +++++++++++++++ Stinsmia shivered weakly and nearly screeched at Galabrin when he picked it up, thinking he would look inside. She quickly snuggled into the arms of her mother and whimpered. "Y-Yes d-daddy.. P-Please d-destroy it.." she said hoarsely. She thought for a moment and then spoke. "W-Why are you two.. b-being so nice..? I-I don't understand.. I-I've always been told s-something's wrong with me... T-That I'm s-stupid.." she whispered. She still didn't understand. She coughed a few times and yawned. ++++++++++++++++ Shantotto had also glanced at the horse the man had, but then had looked away. Both because she had no keen interest in that kind of thing, and also because she needed to keep an eye on where ever she was flying. She flew quickly past the Qeynos Gates' guards and flew right in. She landed on the ground and then fluttered the wings again before folding them up against her back again. She started walking over to a message board and looked over it slowly, though it was rather difficult to concentrate considering the fact that she knew she was being stared at by a multitude. After all, not everyday a person saw a Halfling fly with wings into a city. *Ssulvex accidentally bumped into Shantotto on his way leaving, which switched the halfling's attention to the young boy. "Excuse m-.." she began to say. But she looked over at the boy and frowned. She stopped Ssulvex in his tracks and put her arm on his shoulder. "Young man, where are your parents? Shouldn't they know that your out here? Even if this place is Qeynos, it is still not safe to roam out at night! And your blind? My gosh. We need to take you to the guard station so we can find your parents! I swear.." she began to rant, trailing off.She whispered to herself; "I swear today's youth are so ignorant.. Then again.. this one's blind so he can't really help it.." Ssulvex pulled away gently and let out a hiss. "Excuse me misss! But I don't need any help at all." "Oh nonsense, your just a blind young man that could just run into a wall at any moment!" she retorted, trying to grab his arm again. Ssulvex pulled away and took a few steps back again. "I sssaid I don't need any help woman! I'm perfectly capable on my own. I'm not as defenssseless and ssstupid as you might think!" he spat involuntarily, which, ironically was what he screamed at his former guardian for acting and treating him like he was helpless. He put his hand to his chest and tried to calm down, taking deep breaths. Emotions also triggered his lycanthropic state. As well as he had an underlying heart condition, so really he was trying to stay conscious and in control if anything. He was actually rather lucky to have survived the first transformation. His Necromancy magic had been keeping him mostly well for the longest time, maybe even alive at that, so his heart was at a.. semi-healthy state.. ((*changed "Xiyi" to Ssulvex. Easier to remember. XD Also, went ahead and made my post just in case one of you guys is ready to post ))
((We had a very nice time with the house all filled up, but now that things are quieting down I can go visiting around Norrath again. Here's to another year of adventure and RP.))
((Our holidays were pretty good. Honestly we're hoping for a better year than last year though... I believe it is Licerous turn to post and then we can get back into this.))
((I decided to go ahead and try to get this moving again. After reviewing my previous post I've also decided to rewrite some scenes and add to others as well as moving forward the scenes with Iksaress and I. /sigh I really wish I could edit my previous post but I can't. I'll copy the ones I'm not changing. Looking forward to another year of roleplay. As per usual jump back in whenever y'all can.)) Ziqua swallowed and began trembling “D-do I h-have to?” she asked the captain. Priestess Anna nodded “I think that would be a good idea. The Inquisitor is in one of your cells currently.” ~~~~ “Oh,” Canty said Zach smiled “As I said might be good for Sam too, to meet people and socialize.” Calarys nodded. “I justs hopes Colby cans adjusts... maybes if yours sons talks tos hims?” The children leaned forward “They's were missing the mast?” Limberger asked. Calarys tried to hold back a giggle at her son's question. ~~~~ Alyerra returned the embrace. She was unsure what to say regarding Rodcet Nife. “Yes” Tetriemmy answered. Senriala followed the Fury inside. She sighed as she looked around the room and saw only Koada'dal. “Does what you're doing really require so many people?” the Tier'dal asked. ~~~~ Xia stood and walked to stand beside him “Of course you are.” she whispered “You will always be Padparadisch Padatasch. I am Xiaminara Crimsonsong. I will always be Xiaminara Crimsonsong. There is nothing that changes who you are unless you want it to. I go by Xia because it's easier for most people. Shortening your name does not change who you are.” she grinned exposing her fangs. ~~~~ Tari's wings drooped when the Kerra claimed the tiger. “How do ya lose a cat that big?” the Arasai asked. “I mean not that anyone would want ta harm such a pretty thing.” Brienae shook her head “He returned to Kelethin yes.” she sighed “I think I will return. I must talk to Uncle Yenter anyway...” she closed her eyes “My apologies that you had to come across this scene...” “How much ya getting paid for this Cuz? If I were you I'd ask for a raise.” “I volunteered... kind of... Uncle Yenter asked me to help him and I did... well I tried.” “Ya are such an idiot.” Tari sighed “My rule, never do nothing for free.” “Anything,” Brienae corrected. Tari shrugged “I know what I mean,” she pulled two of her wooden coins out of her pocket and tossed on to the Barbarian and one to the Kerra “Look me up when ya need new armor. I make the best.” ~~~~ Relane and Galabrin looked at each other. “There is nothing wrong with you.” Galabrin answered “The person who told you that lied. Relane and I can't have children... and you are one of the sweetest kids I've ever met.” Relane nodded as her husband handed her the book. She knelt next to Stimsia and spoke “I think you should be the one to destroy it. Focus on the book and think of fire.” She held the book out to the girl. ~~~~~ Sam nodded. “I don't want to be any trouble.” he said in Ginnar and Carl's mind Carl sighed. “You're not any trouble...” he bit his lip as pain surged through his chest again. ~~~~ Lazzera sighed. She was still new in her Warden training, but her ability to read the wind had been something she was born with. “Now we need to wait.” she said out loud “Are you capable of waiting silently?” said a small voice. “It would be much appreciated as you are warning off all of the good game.” A tiny Fae materialized next to them “Is she always like this? Non-stop talk?” she asked Lamia ~~~~ Tsimia smiled “Oh thank you,” she said “My uncle found them during Tinkerfest.” she placed her hands on her head as it began explode into pain. Brown nubs could be seen between her fingers. “Why does Tsimia's head hurt?” she mumbled as her mind slipped back into insanity due to pain.
Lamia sighed and nodded. "Sure, sure, I know.." she mumbled, sighing again. She had nothing else to say, so she really just kept her mouth silent more of the time the two of them had been walking.. She looked down as she heard a voice and then saw the fae materialize. She blinked, wondering if she had imagined it or no. She shrugged at the question, really unsure of how to answer considering she had just met Lazera not too long ago. "I.. don't know to be honest.. I met her just a little while ago.." she sighed and shrugged, shaking her head +++++++++++++++ Shiasia listened to the conversation idly, rocking her son quietly. She looked out the window briefly. She rubbed her eyes with one paw and shook her head. She stood up from her chair. "I'm afraid I must retire to the bed room for a little bit.. I'm rather tired." she said with a heavy sigh, walking up the ramp and into the bed room she had been given. She put her son in the crib and then also laid down on her own bed, closing her eyes and waiting to fall asleep. +++++++++++++++ Vhyrenia looked around her house and sighed. She stood up and set about cleaning, dusting the furniture, straightening framed art pieces. The kerra was bored to say.. well the least and the most. She had nothing else to do. And her husband had gone off to train somewhere in Antonica. She felt that she was in no shape to go find him though as well, so she just stayed inside the house. The woman sneezed and she shook her head. "Stupid allerrrrrgies.." she muttered. Once finished cleaning, she stepped outside the house and headed over to the guardhouse, looking through the wanted list for some possibly easy bounties to collect. +++++++++++++++ Stinsmia shivered weakly and nearly screeched at Galabrin when he picked it up, thinking he would look inside. She quickly snuggled into the arms of her mother and whimpered. She stuttered a few times and nodded slowly. "A-And you t-two are t-t-the nicest g-grown-ups I've ever met..." she responded with a weak smile. At being asked to destroy the book herself, she blinked. "O-Okay.. I'll try.." she muttered. She closed her eyes and concentrated on the thoughts of fire. Rather an unexpected result, what happened was not the book becoming a charred flame, but rather she had apparently summoned a fire elemental, which was relatively large in comparison to it's master's size. She opened her eyes and suddenly she seemed to know what to do. She looked at the elemental and suddenly muttered something in Druzaic to it (a language which she had never studied), pointing at the book. The elemental nodded and gentle picked up the book from Relane's hand. The creature charred it to ashes and then promptly vanished. Stinsmia seemed in a daze, her eyes showing confusion and dizziness. "Uhm.. W-What just.. happened..?" she asked softly. ++++++++++++++++ Shantotto had also glanced at the horse the man had, but then had looked away. Both because she had no keen interest in that kind of thing, and also because she needed to keep an eye on where ever she was flying. She flew quickly past the Qeynos Gates' guards and flew right in.

Ross leaned forward. “Ziqua, in the court, no one will be able to hurt you when you speak. It will be full of Guardsmen willing to protect you.” Sylvie scratched her chin. “I’ll go see if he can tell us anything. The infirmary is the last door on the left, can you take her there or do you need help?” Alderman took Tygarr’s arm and led him to a bench against the wall, pushing him down into it. *** Bella folded the dough over and placed them on a flat sheet, slipping it into the oven. “You’s ands you’s family will always be welcomes in my Bakery for whats you’s dids to helps Lil’ Al an’ thes Redsmantles.” Bella smiled. “Ands you’s familys is always welcomes to comes ands meets the others Ratongas in Qeynoses.” She said to the youth. “Mosts of my’s business is withs the Ratongan communities in Qeynoses. Is a safes place to hangs outs.” Rothgut smiled. “I’s wills asks Charlemin to talks to hims.” The old Ratonga twitched his whiskers. “Froms whats I’s has seens the lifes of a Pally-dins suites hims betters than a Shadow’s Knights. Charlemins was nevers goods ats lyings ands he’s was nots very happies doings the Militia’s work.” Aloysiius grinned. “Oh, yes! They were amazingly missing a mizzen mast!” He winked. “The mizzen mast is what you call the third mast from the front. From front to back the masts are the fore mast, the main mast and the mizzen mast. So, their ship had lost the mast on the back, or aft, of the ship, but as I said the son and the cat found a village on the island. He noticed that the village people all looked very sad and he asked a passing man what was the matter. The man turned to look at him and explained that their town was plagued nightly by unseen creatures that stole into the houses and took away food that they found, leaving the people hungry and sickly.” *** “How many does it require?” The female asked. Llew chewed her lip. “Well, when we tried it with Al we had…” She did a count on her fingers. “Uncle Grumblefoot, Danny, Ms. Tetri and myself for the spellwork. Addy and Ziqua were there too, but they were only there because of Uncle and Ms. Mazsra. She helped protect us while we cast. We were interrupted, and it is never a bad idea to have some extra casters to take place or prevent interference.” She paused. “But then we had to get Aloysiius, Brienae, both Bards, and Alyerra, of course, to help the second time after we were tricked.” She glanced up. “At the very least we’ll need at least four mages for casting, a Druid,” She nodded to Tetri. “And perhaps someone to guard. Oh, and a Paladin,” She nodded to Charlemin and Pepin. “To help control the divine energies. Someone who knows necromantic energy.” She nodded to Toska. “Let’s see…” She began to think about reagents. “We used silicate loam the first time, but after Muspel interrupted us we used a glyphed array drawn in chalk.” She bit her lip. “I’ll lead you to Bloombright, but it may be quicker to fly there, the grove is quite a ways up the mountain.” Aleteriq grabbed Llew’s hand. “Am I going?” He asked. She chewed her lip, glancing from Alyerra to Aleteriq. “I think it may be best, since the two of you are connected from the previous spell.” *** Padparadisch shook his head. “Teir’dal do not do nicknames. It is a manner of pride.” He looked over at her. “Not that that has stopped anyone from calling me ‘Paddy’ anyway.” Rainer returned, holding a couple of miss-matched bottles filled with a murky blue liquid. “Here you are! Anti-sickness potion!” He offered them to the two newcomers. *** Herrigan caught the coin and looked from it to the Arasai. He flipped it in his hand. “May I ask where your armory is and if it is one approved by the Qeynos Guard to work on our issued armor?” *** Ginnar shook his head. “Yer really ain’t. Let’s git yer ter me brodder an’ see if’n yer kin get ‘ealed, eh?”
“I'll be with you too,” Maheera said to Ziqua as she nuzzled the young Kerra. “C-can Maheera stay with me?” Ziqua asked wanting to confirm. “I'll be there whether she says yes or not,” Maheera growled in the kitten's mind. “I'll help,” Mordedana offered. “Thank you, both of you.” Priestess Anna said as she grabbed the girl under one arm and Mordedana grabbed under the other. Together they lifted the girl to her feet so they could carry her to the infirmary. “He's a Gnome, his name is Vonelix.” Priestess Anna continued. Tygarr sank down and was quiet. He still seemed to be in a state of shock regarding everything that had happened. ~~~~ Canty nodded “Thanks yous.” Zach smiled “We may look into that. Ethan and I teach children self defense. Some go on to become Monks but not all. I don't know if any Ratonga would be interested but we'd be willing to teach them or any of your kin.” “Wells if theys is havings theirs foods stolens thens theys deserves its.” Limberger responded. “Limberger Desmens!” Calarys snapped “Wheres dids yous evers hears such an awfuls things?” “That's whats Daddys tolds mes. He saids if yous can'ts defends whats yours then yous deserves to haves its takens.” the young Ratonga answered. Calarys turned to the bard “Please continues.” she glared at her husband. The Ratonga parents walked over to a corner “I wills nots raise my pinkies to bes thugs!” Calarys hissed in Ratongan. Colby responded in Ratongan “Yous seemed to haves no problems with yours sisters being a brignads! Or does its matters thats yours niece starteds trainings downs thats paths. You knows she'lls haves tos starts overs as a frilly swashbucklies,” they spoke in hushed tones so they could not be heard at least they hoped. The seven young Ratongas turned to watch their parents argue. Fayberry turned back to Aloysious finding the story more interesting “Whats happeneds next?” she asked. ~~~~ Kyriu sighed “I guess that means you don't need me.” Senriala shook her head “Nonsense Kyriu, the Paladins will be busy controlling the divine Llew did say we could use a guard.” Kyriu nodded “I guess, I could do that. Now you mentioned it would be easier if we flew... not all of us can fly...” “I was thinking about that. I'm sure between those of us that can fly we can help those of you who can't.” Tetriemmy said “Let me see, I have three friends who can fly. Some one can ride with me. Samantha won't mind. We might have to double up on others, but they won't mind.” she thought for another moment “Cub could you get us there from the Druid Ring in Greater Faydark? I believe that would save us more time as well.” Alyerra was beginning to grow more nervous as she contemplated the number of people involved. She knew and trusted several of them, but the Koada'dal made her nervous. ~~~~~ “Thank you,” Xia said as she accepted one of the bottles and drank it. “A nickname can be a thing of pride. But I will make an effort. If you would like you can call me Xiaminara or Xia, I answer to both. Padparadisch is a very nice name actually.” she frowned “I might have to go grab a rat to keep the potion down,” she sighed. ~~~~ “My armory is where-ever I am.” Tari answered “I have portable forges. My main armory is in Neriak, but I can make it anywhere I can set one of these up. As for the other... what? I mean who care when ya cab have the finest crafted armor in all of Norrath?” “And the most expensive,” Brienae added. “Cuz ya ain't helping my business,” Tari growled. “I'm not trying to,” Brienae responded. “Ya can ignore the Fae.” ~~~~ Sam nodded. “Great,” Carl said “I can finally get out of this house.” “Um no you can't,” Tim said from the door way. “Ethan had somewhere he needed to go and they forgot to add my name to the contract. Besides according to the terms of your sentence you can't leave Greater Faydark.” Carl sighed “I forgot all about that... so how am I supposed to learn how to cook?” “Zach is taking care of that.” Tim answered. “But you won't be alone. I'll be here.” “Wonderful...” Carl groaned. Sam spoke in Ginnar's mind “I'm ready when you are. There are some things I would like to discuss with your brother anyway.” ((Of course Licerous you are welcome to jump back in at anytime.))“I'll be with you too,” Maheera said to Ziqua as she nuzzled the young Kerra. “C-can Maheera stay with me?” Ziqua asked wanting to confirm. “I'll be there whether she says yes or not,” Maheera growled in the kitten's mind. “I'll help,” Mordedana offered. “Thank you, both of you.” Priestess Anna said as she grabbed the girl under one arm and Mordedana grabbed under the other.

((Adding a scene I forgot because I can't edit to add to my post )) "Huh," the Fae said "Has she stopped talking since you met her? I was trying to hunt, but babbling does complicate things. You know what I mean? Oh how rude you must think me. I am Kelariel Hawkwing." she curtsied to the Ratonga.
Lamia sighed and shook her head at the fae. "No my friend, she hasn't stopped.." she leaned down to whisper into the Fae's ear. "It's been nonstop jibber-jabber. She's been talking and talking and talking.." she murmured, snickering slightly. She smiled lightly. "Nice to meet you Kelariel. I'm Lamia." she introduced herself as well. She then thought to herself. "You know now that I think about it.." she trailed off. "I don't think I've ever had a surname.." she muttered softly. ++++++++++++++++ Shiasia, in her sleep had broken into a sweat. She panted heavily and moaned in discomfort. She was starting to burn up. Apparently she had somehow fallen ill without realizing it. The woman woke with a jump and stumbled out of the bed. She skittered to the bathroom and vomited a couple of times. Nazsuss started crying. Shiasia slowly went back into the bedroom and picked up her son. "It's okay.. Momma's just a little sick... hush.. It's okay.." the female Ratonga said. She put her son back on her bed and headed to the restroom, leaning over the trashbin and letting out a groan. +++++++++++++++++ Stinsmia's book's ashes fell to the ground. She sighed lightly and yawned. She stood up and snuggled into her mother's arms. She stuttered slightly, "I-I love you mama and d-daddy.." she whispered +++++++++++++++++ Ssulvex's expression was an angry one. He growled at Shantotto and turned to leave. The halfling took hold of his shoulder and spoke softly. "Look dear. I'm sorry for what I said, alright? But I'm trying to help you. I just want to make sure you get home safely." she said. "Ssulvex jerked his shoulder away and spoke coldly. "I have neither home, nor family.. Now leave me be, or else I'll flay you and just raise you as an undead-... Just.. Leave me be." he said, stopping saying "Undead" before anyone got suspicious. He turned around again and headed towards the gates to Antonica, aiming to leave. He pulled his hood over his head. Shortly after starting to walk though, he chose a different way to move. He shifted to his werewolven form and quickly ran. ((Hm.. Don't understand why post would be so short suddenly ))
Ross thought for a moment. The truth was, she did not know if a Warder would be allowed or not. She knew that Illusionists were not allowed to have their Personae Reflections and that Mystics were asked to send their Spirit Companions away while testifying. The Court did not want the possibility of an attack, either on or by a witness during the proceedings. She imagined that the rule would be the same for Beastlords and their Warders. She looked across the desk. They might allow it for a child to feel safe. “I will ask if they will allow her.” Sylvie nodded and headed downstairs. She looked through the cells, staying in the middle of the aisle and hopefully out of arm reach of the prisoners. She found the cell that held the gnome. “Are you…Von-Von Felix?” *** Bella leaned down to check on the turnovers. She sniffed and decided to give them a little more time. “We’s has beens talkings of moving our Guildhalls. We’s wills stills be in Qeynoses, buts we’s will haves a betters kitchens ands maybes I’s cans holds classes theres whens is all moveds and dones.” She looked behind her. “I’s was wonderings. Is spell I’s knows, calleds Nullifying Staff. I’s is alrights with the spells parts, buts the ways to swings the staffs I’s cannots gets rights. I’s is tolds my stance is weaks.” She turned back to the oven and sniffed, picking a potholder up. “I’s prefer a wands to a staffs, buts I’s thinks I’s should still knows hows to swing its rights when I’s needs tos.” Aloysiius nodded and attempted to draw all the children’s attention back. “The son asked if they had any carpenters and wood to fix the mast of their ship, but the villagers replied that they had bigger problems, such as how they would get through the winter without their food stores and that the carpenters were much too hungry for such taxing work anyway. So it was that the son took it upon himself to rid the village of the menace. So, as the sun set he began to dig a hole in the town square and he gathered what food he had on him and set it all in the bottom. As the townsfolk all watched, hiding in their houses, the son and the cat hid themselves away in an alley to watch what would happen.” Rothgut watched the two parents, but said nothing. He and Lacepaw had often discussed what moving to Qeynos or Kelethin would mean to their family, but they had never been brave enough to do anymore than whisper about it at night in the dark. *** Llew kept an arm around Aleteriq. “I can take Al on Snowdrop.” “Pepin can fly Veillantif and I and Toska can take Roland.” Charlemin offered. “We can fly ourselves.” The Koada’dal woman said. “Ah, I am Archmage Karoli Moonwrath, by the way.” She inclined her head slightly, but none of the other Koada’dal offered their names. “Rene and I am perfectly capable of flying our own griffons.” Alaric said. Llew turned to Tetri and tried to remember where exactly the rings were. “We need to go into the mountains between Steamfont and New Tunaria.” “Felwithe.” Alaric snapped. He cleared his throat as eyes turned to him. “We’ll be going southwest of-“ She paused. “Felwithe. We have no reason for going there ourselves. I think I can find the mountain path from Sapphire Pond.” *** Rainer tilted his head to one side. “A rat?” Padparadisch raised one eyebrow in the Feir’dal’s direction. He looked down at the potion in his hand and handed it back. “I’ve sea legs.” *** Herrigan shook his head and held the coin back out. “Sorry, lassie, I can’t very well have a Smithy from Neriak work on my Qeynos Guard issued armor.” *** Ginnar stroked his beard. “Well, Ay kin call on me brodders ter come ‘ere, yer kin. If yer kin’t go ter ‘em. Might me a bit more comfortable ter try ter ‘eal yer ‘ere in yer own ‘ome.”
Ziqua nodded Maheera responded in Ziqua's mind “I'm not giving them a choice.” she nuzzled Ziqua's cheek before jumping down and walking around the desk. She gently nuzzled the Captain's leg. Vonhelix turned “Actually my name is Vonhelix, what can I do for you?” ~~~~~~ Zach nodded “I'd suggest talking to Ky about that or one of her mother's relatives. Ky herself is still a protege` but she is very good with that staff of hers. I prefer bare hands myself..” he sighed “Never tried a staff.” “A staff is nothings buts a bigs sticks,” Canty sniffed. “I'd suggest never saying that to my niece Kyriu or any of her elven kin.” Zach answered The teen Ratonga shrugged “All I needs are daggers.” she turned to Bella “Is brigands alloweds in Qeynos?” The children turned back to the bard. Their tails all wiggled in anticipation of what would happen next. “You's don'ts justs leaves your's homes ons a whims!” Colby hissed. “Especiallys nots fors an exileds relatives,” “Buts she wasn'ts exileds, nots technicallys...” Calarys whispered. “I thinks mys greats grandfathers hads the rights ideas,” Colby growled. Calarys paused “Hows cans yous says such a things!” The two pups crept upstairs. Mist walked over to the ill ratonga and nuzzled her. Bane then turned and walked into the room with the infant. He jumped onto the bed and snuggled against him. ~~~~ “Thanks Llew, but I think I'll be fine on my own” Alyerra said as she winked at Alteriq. “Tetriemmy Windfoot,” the Ratonga Fury said. “Senriala,” Senriala answered very simply. “The Greater Faydark druid ring would be faster,” Kyriu said “The Steamfont druid ring would place us on the other side of Steamfont.” Tetri turned to Half-elf monk . “Yes that sounds about right,” she summoned autumn leaves from her paws and weaved them into a circle in the middle could be seen the druid ring of Greater Faydark. ~~~ Xia nodded “I kind of figured that would be the best blood supply on the ship.” she grinned exposing her fangs again. ~~~~ Tari sighed and took the coin back. Brienae smiled “You know Tari if you became a Swashbuckler and moved to Kelethin then you could make armor for The Protctors of Growth and for the Qeynos Guard.” “Freeport and Neriak pay more anyway.” Tari sniffed. She sighed and touched the bush in the center and vanished. ~~~~ “Very good,” Relane said as she hugged her daughter. “If you would like we can buy you a new one to keep track of your new life.” ~~~~ “Sam can leave,” Carl sighed “I'm the one who can't” Sam shrugged. He began signing. Tim watched and translated “He says right now home is a foreign concept. Most of his life has been spent among the orcs. However you thing would be best or easier.” ~~~~ The fae fluttered her wings which looked identical to green leaves. “hm, my name comes from the fact that I can see just like a hawk and aim.” she pulled out a long bow which looked like a toy to anyone else. “Hm,” Lazera sighed “I'm not sure where we need to go. Oh actually we're near the druid ring so we can meet them here.” “Oh you're waiting for someone?” Kelariel asked “Who are you waiting for?”
Lamia looked down at the fae and blinked. She didn't say anything about meeting someone. Odd how a person could misinterpret something so easily.. She shook her head. "I never said I was waiting for someone.. All I said was "I don't think I've ever had a surname." Of course, I can somewhat understand if you interpreted that a different way." she said with a shrug. +++++++++++++++++++ Shiasia frowned and looked down slightly to see Mist. She sighed raspily and pet the dog gently on the head, scratching it behind its ears before heaving again. She stood up and cleaned herself up. "I'll just get a small glass of milk or water or something.." she muttered, walking over to her borrowed room for a moment and picking up her son from the bed. She slowly came down the ramp, one hand on the guide rail. She coughed and silently walked into the kitchen, taking a minute's glance at Calarys and Colby. She merely shook her head. She pulled out a small glass from the cabinet in the kitchen and poured herself some water, using a bit of magic to warm the water up. She drank it quietly. She stepped out of the kitchen and looked at Colby for a moment, leaning against a wall in the corner. "C-Calarys..? Do you know of any herbs that could help with a stomach flu?" she asked quietly. ++++++++++++++++++++ Stinsmia nodded weakly at her mother. "Y-Yes please, m-mama.. I would like that.." she said timidly. She yawned softly and sat in her mother's lap silently. ++++++++++++++++++++ The werewolf looked around warily and continued running through Antonica, heading towards the druid rings. He growled angrily. He had forgotten why he was going towards there. And he was hungry as well. He sniffed the air. His head turned and he spotted a deer. He licked his lips slightly. A sudden leap in the air, and then he landed, landing onto and biting into the deer's neck, quickly killing it. As it collapsed, he began to munch on it hungrily, unaware, or simply ignoring the fact that there was a fae, Ratonga, and Freeblood just a little ways away. ++++++++++++++++++++ Jhyiskitches had followed behind Zach silently the whole time. The guy probably forgot he was there. He shrugged lightly and sighed.
