He chattered and barked.
Rand cannot come here without the item. You cannot get there without mistress's void. That is why I am here. Give me the item, and I will travel home. He looked up at Onyx.
I will giud her here.

SHe signed the partchment with a flowing, facny signature before it was rolled, and then pressed her staff into the cooling wax so that the bells and rings left markings. The little bird siwlred around a bit, travelingmuch like a dust devil, and snatched the parchemtn up in his transparent claws. Aella opened up the cabin door and let the bird out. She did not know how long it would take the bird to get it to Onyx, but it would.
She shrugged. "It all depends on whether or not she wants to come back to us." She sucked in a deep breath. "At elast another day of this deep sleep i think, until she decised to come up for a bit of air.

Warhammer stood up from the desk, and stretched his back tall. He was an old priest, that was for sure, and did not write as much as he used to. Once, he was the high priest of a great temple, now, a servent of chaos. How the mighty have fallen, yet, this life was not without benefits. He found himself in more situations serving the Earth Mother's will than not.
When the Captain first took him as a slave, Warhammer figured it would not take long for the Earth Mother to abandon him in his service, but never has Tarathiel caused him to fall out of favour, which was both compelling and queer. How many attrocities had this warhammer caused with his magic, how many lives had he snuffed out?
He merely shoke his head, and placed a hand on the bed, and looked up Meilikki. "Before then end, she will be a slave on this ship too." He said somewhat prophetically.

Onyx looked at the item, and back at Morelle...then at Moonstone.
"This world is not made for you, Moonstone."
Then tossed the item to Morelle..and tilted his head when a..transparent bird flew in and dropped a letter for him.
"That the hell is this..?"
He broke the seal, and looked at it...and didn't understand one word except the name at the bottom. But that was really the only word at present he needed to understand.
"She wrote me...I guess you were right. she had another reason to get rid of that feather."

Aella sighed. She set her staff down near the fireplace, sat on the bed, bent over so she could rest her elbows on her knees. A slave...did Tarathiel see her as a slave? Was Onyx right? Was she being used, only to be taossed aside when she had outlived her usefullness?
"I met Meilikki's mother. If she is anything like her, she will not accept being a slave. How can you enslave someone like her? It would be like...caging a trapped bird." She's already a slave to her gifts, why make it worse?
"I don't work well here. I need the sun." But he would not leave if Onyx stayed here. He was bonded with his brother. I was quite certian that without him, on another plane, he really would waist away to nothing.
Moonstone leaned over, took a look atn the note. "It looks like it's in elvish. I would't have thought that she new the language." He looked at Onyx...maybe it wasn't the way he thought it was after all. "Maybe she does care."
Morelle caught the item, gave a little head bow, and simple...bliped out of existance. When would he be back? He wasn't sure. Time worked in odd ways.

Serino had by this time made his way back to the fortress. He would of gone after Malik and Kieran but he knew that if he did his weakened state would only cause potential problems. So home is where he had come back, only to worry about his little elven friend and all that was going on with her. But he was in a bad state himself...was even walking on the actual ground. But he managed himself to the stables, plopping down in some hay with a snort. Exhausted and left to wade in a pool of worry.

A small chuckle.
"She's half elven. perhaps she knows the language. and yes, you without the sun..and me without the dark. guess that's one of those drawbacks. we need light and dark to survive. you're wasting away down here. I'm thriving."
A smirk.
"Think I didn't notice your depression?"

Warhammer shoke his head, "You still don't understand slavery on this ship. You are his slave, yet, he left you with a choice to come back, or stay in the castle. He even allowed you to ride his Lavi. You are unaware, but the drow crewmembers are forbidden to touch the dragon." Warhammer paced a few steps, "Rember everything you can about your old life, and discard it. You are Special, you are significant. Your thought, your feelings, your wants, your desires, are all necessary to being the Captain's slave. He needs us to help him, he needs us to understand the truest form of slavery. Slavery to our ambitions."
"Of all the crew, you are special, are you getting jealous that the Captain might make another just as unique as you?"

He cleared his throat. "Ah well..." He tried to hike up his pants without Onyx noticeing. he had lost some weight recently...
"At elast at home whe had the night and the day. Here it is always night time. I miss the warmth." But still he wouldn't elave. No....he might be able to dapat down here. He wouldn't adapt without his brother. He sighed. "I don't lie very well."
Aella looked at him, his earnesty, his sincerity, but could not find words to respond. Salvery to her ambitions...but she didn't have any. He's were gone, done and over with. She let out a mewling sigh, turing her gaze to the floor.
She shook her head. "Jealous? Maybe a little bit. But not much. I am more afraid of becoming not special anymore."

Kaden listnened and then he laughed, he laughed and laughed and laughed. Shaking his head he said, "Welcome drow. I underestimated you it seems, but then you were probably warned that if you came in swords blazing, she'd get it." A yank to the chain to indicate Piper. "What you don't see is that she deserves it all. She's a heartless b***h, a coward, and has not a spec of honor left in her frail, dying body. She deserves to die!" He spat on the ground at her feet and declared, "Terran agreed. She's a traitior to her race to take up with you. And you wouldn't kill her D'Vinn. You're not quite that stupid." Not a word on all the torture he promised. Frankly, Kaden didn't care. He was tired of his life the way it was and he wanted nothing more than to torture Piper until she screamed in death and follow her.

The minotaur locked his eyes onto her, and smiled.. "You will always be special to the Captain. You are just feeling the bitterness of completion. Once you find what you want to do, you will feel more lifted." Warhammer twisted his head. "Special prisoner, always. I am afraid I am being summoned, I shall have to leave you hear. You can call Aven by talking into the tube near the desk if you need anything. Take care, of yourself, and Meilikki." The minotaur slowly receeded form the room, leaving Aella to ponder and take care of Meilikki.

Malik grabbed the chain.
"Pull on it again, and I'll be putting this end down your throat."
He didn't understand much, after all he didn't speak the same elvish as piper, but the intent was comign through. though that last part was obviously calling his bluff.
"That ring belongs on her finger. and as for Terran.."
A gesture to the mass of burnt and mangled flesh that Nightmare was stomping and biting at.
"He's not a real concern, but he will be suffering a long time to come. You will be letting my fiance go, like it or not, and she's going to live a very long life with me. While you are going to survive in pain and misery, knowing that she's going to be very happy with me."
A small smirk. Mad as Kaden was..if he cared about his own life, he might have showed some reaction to torture. perhasp this might be a better torture for him.
"No you can't. and do you smell...Serino? that must mean Piper's here..she can translate for me."
A small grin, headin out fo the room and downstairs...adn a bit confused at no Piper around.
"Moon...you smell Piper?"

Kaden realized that Malik spoke differently and he switched effortlessly. He had learned many things when he was an outcast from those he knew at one time and he spared a glance at Terran. "Gale means nothing to me. He was to be paid for his part in this but I suppose money won't do him any good now, will it?" He looked at the ring in his hand, looked at Piper, looked at Malik and then grinned. "You want it drow? Go get it." And he reached his arm back and threw the ring as far as he could into the dense brush. Then a cocky look at Malik and he yanked the chain out of the drow's grasp, effectively pulling on it to harm Piper, once more. "You can't do anything to me Malik. Any harm you force onto me you cause your precious fiancee to feel. Though I have to wonder, if she truly loves you, why does she flinch at your touch? and why oh why is she wearing a collar? She became rather quiet when I asked her if it was a slave's love for her master....took her sweet time in answering." He fiddled with the knife in his hand, slowly nicking his fingers one by one as he taunted and jeered. No, Kaden didn't care that Malik wanted to torture him, didn't care that Terran was in pain and certainly didn't care if he lived or died.

Kieran however...well he could understand every crazy word that left the young elf."You speak of honor Kaden? You have none left yourself and if anyone deserves to die is you. No, I correct myself. Death is far too good for you Mordulinraama." He turned his look to Piper then looked to Malik. "Chain has to go." A hard look turned back on Kaden...hopefully crazy was too crazy to have a back up plan. So over to Piper he went, checking out exactly how Kaden had this thing wedged...though he didn't touch her...that would give KAden a free reason to yank.
A cringe, a slight noise everytime that thing got yanks and caused a little more blood to flow from already nicely flowing wounds. That was about the only responses she was giving to it all. Still there? Physically probably barely, mentally she had disconnected herself from the situation.

Malik had enough. he grabbed the chain, and nevermind being gentle about it or not, ripped it out of her shoulder, and rather than let it go, jerked on it as well. one of two things was going to happen.either it was coming off his arm, or he was coming over with it.
"Kieran. take Piper home, and take care of her. I'll be along shortly. I have a ring to get and an elf to cause a world of pain to for my own personal amusement."
Malvolence was drawn again, and Malik was already advancing on Kaden, adn not looking very pleased at the moment.
