Deep Water seemed to have changed since his last time here, which wasn't really all that long ago, was it? The king had been replaced, and new security messures were implimented. Even in his human form it had been difficult to get his way into the inner city, wehre the rubble of the once grand collesium still lay. HE couldn't speak to people who didn't know his language, and had to get by as a mute. Either way he eventual got to where he was going.
That sister of his, always ruining everything. If he had killed Malik, he may have been able to avenge his dear oracle in some way. How was lost on the dragon, which was all right since tanundra did not car how, as long as someone died.
And he was right, Meilikki was in danger. She was no where to be found in her little one room makshift home, the ashes in the fireplace long dead, the smell on her sheets stale and cold. Someone else had been here though. He could smell someone's sent on the chair, on the floor and out the door. Had they visted the Oracle, or had they taken her? Only one way to find out. Trying not to long overly angry at anything or anybody, Tanundra left, following scents as best he could.

Eliot woke up. Her body was stiff and soare from sleeping on the floor all night, curled up in a corner. She got up and strecthed herself, feeling the little pops in her joints as she did so.
She lept up onto the bed, of which warren was still sleeping on, and took an inventory of her body. She was healing. The bruises on her face were stil la deep purple but the gouges on her legs had no puss and were scabbing over nicley.
She didn't know where Warren had put that map that she had found, but she doubt she woudl be able to read it anyways. Warren did say that there was new rule now, maybe she should go and find out who he was? She might even find out something about her father.
She hopped off of the bed and headed towards the throne room. Best place to start looking for a King she thought.

Piper was busy trying to fix her hair just so. It wasn't cooperating with her either, the one tip of her left ear always poking through the red and silver strands. Of course that would be normal if she had a matching point on the right. But damn it all. As per deal...no bandana. Didn't mean she wasn't going to try really hard to make this work though. Eventually she would end up with her hair loosing quite in state of organized chaos. Amazing what a little fluffing would do. But boy did she ever feel jumpy and nervous. Ah, old self conscious tendencies coming back strongly into play...

Oh, what was he going on about now! Couldn' he tell that Tanudnra was a busy dragon? Calling him back now would just make him angrier! Epecially since he had just found the trail he had been searching for.
All right, fine. You want to talk. We'll talk. It would take a full ten minutes for Tanundra to change back into dragon form, from from then it would not take very long to fly back to Triumverate Fortress.
Half way back to the acedemy already and she recieved a summons. She might have ignored it too, had she thought her brother wouldn't go. She rolled her eyes, no, she was going to have to stop him from eating something...again.
She turned around.

Eliot stopped in mid stride.
If she wanted to know if this new king employed, forced rather, slaves to work for him, it would be a better idea to look in the slaves quarters now wouldn't it? She's pretty sure he wouldn't come right out and tell a foxsquirrle anyways.
He ears drooped. Going to the slaves quarters meant getting closer to the creepy man again. but she also wanted to find her father...
She would go look. There was not much she could do until her body healed, but unitl then she could scout the area, look for others who wanted to help her. Yes recruits, this was not a one wolf operation. she needed help.
Deciding her self she nodded her head, tunred briskly around and trotted down the hallway in the oposite direction. She stopped here and there to sniff, make sure the creepy man, or any of his minions, were not close.
She aventually scouted her way down to the quarters. noticing the door was shut, she stretched up as far as she could to the grated window above, she was still pretty far from it.
"Hello?" she shouted through the door, "Is anyone in there?"

"You look fine, you know that. woudl you like to meet a pair of Dragons, Piper? they should be on thier way back."
A small chuckle and mussing her hair some, and giving her a swift little kiss, mostly to avoid teh kick or punch that was going to come from giving real chaos to her orderly one, and walked outside, idly waiting at teh stable area for the dragons to show up, not letting them by the house this time.

And she gave a distressed noise as he went about messing up what she had just managed to get right so that it covered said ears. "I'm not trying to look fine...I'm trying to look normal..." A little hmph at him and his little tactic to keep from being hit. Piper gave a sigh and took to dragging her fingers through her hair to put it back the way she had it, as she followed him out a few steps behind. Of course though, being near the stables, she had to go love on the horses. "Vedui' Serino, Nerian." Then a look to the Nightmare. "Lu' vendui ulu dos 'zil al Ramoth." Ha, she'd been practicing her language...still sounded odd though...like an accent was added from her being surface born.

Tandundra met his sister on the way to D'vinn's place. He inquired as to why she was going, but she wouldn't answer him. Stubborn as a mule, as always. SHe was probably there just to give him a hard time.
Following the call, the two dragons found D'vinn waiting for them around the stable area. Tanundra chuckled deep in his thoat, knowing that the elf had divereted them from the manor area. Oh, he had to admit that had been fun.
The two large bodies landed easily in front of the stables, the wind comming off their wings blowing up hey and disturbing horses and the like. Well, the horses weren't so concerned with the wind as they were the smell of dragons, as dragons did have a tendancy to eat horses.
Tanundra swung his head around tor egard D'vinn. Well? Make it quick.

"Don't try me, Tanundra. I have somethign you want. and I want soem things from you both in exchange for it. First, an apology from you, Tanundra. Second, I want to meet this mage of yours. Third, I want my home fixed."
A small smirk.
"I guess your Oracle rubbed off on me. I believe she has them agree to thigns or do tasks before she imparts her knowledge, doesn't she."

Tanundra rested an elbow on the ground, rested his chin on top of his clawed hand. True. But they usually go to her. rarely has she ever called someone to her.
He breathed out a long furl of smoke. I want to know what is we are exchanging favors for, before I agree to anything.
Alaran merely regarded the elf. I already told you I would send reperations for the building, but you have not allowed me time to go home. She gave a great shrug. As for meeting my mage, well I can relay the information. I cannot extend or except invitations on his behalf.

"We are exchanging for the location of your Oracle. Funny how a little insignifigant person like myself coudl find that information out before the mighty dragon did. I do not have the exact location, but I do know where she is. Now that would be more than valuable enough I think to get a meeting arranged with your mage and get an apology, I think. Or I coudl simply let you try and find her before her captir notices someone knows and decides she's not worth the trouble keeping around, so to speak?"
Yes Malik can be a vicious p***k at times, can't he.

Tanundra chuckled. There is the slight problem of mu bulk to tihnk about on that regard. He let the insult slide. And In case you hadn't noticed, my sister doesn't much care if the Oracle dies or not. Would prefer it I think.
Yes. I would prefer Meilikki dead.
he held up a calw. See? In ab bored manner, he flicked his tail about, comming close to thwacking his sister on the head. Now, Alaran has already agreed that she would relay your request to the academy slight sneer there. Didn't like the academy, eh Tanundra?
For only reasons a dragon could understand, Tanundra was amussed rather than angered. You act like a griffin. Apology? What kind of apology would the might D'vinn like? All sai in mockery, of course.

"An apology for damaging my home becuaes you had a temper tantrum, and for your arrogance in not accepting aid when offered to you. You underestimated what I can do."
A look at Alaran.
"I read the histories. at one time, the oracles and the magi were a family. I beleive Ton and Eca? now they may have split in division since, but I would think the magi woudl be a little concerned about thier cousin, if you would, being in danger via a kidnappign of a being who is throughly versed in Necromancy and Lichdom. those aren't very nice people, and they can give any mage a serious run for thier money. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised, based on the intimate knowledge this captor has on your Oracle, and his obviously powerful magics, if it wasn't Ton himself. death can strike fear into mortal lives enough to make them do unspeakable things to avoid it. such as Miragul from my own plane."

Alaran's eyes flashed. They were not a family! They were a farce! The magi do not care of the fate of the damned Oracle! She is not our conceren! She harumffed, not all to pleased with D'vinn at this point. Ton is dead thousands of years. You mock his legacy by suggest this...captor is he.
The words had a bit on an opposite effect on Tanundra. Aye, a family. He loooked sadly at his sister, knowing what she had fallen into, that she could never accept that Ton didn't love her in return. They were...good years...
As much as he didn't want to admit it, he had lost his temper. And if anything, he hated appologies. He considered it a punishment from his first mistress..
Very Well D'vinn. I offer my appologies, for stricking out at you, your home, and by extension you kith. I can only hope that in the future I may be able to make reparations.
