"well not that flashy. and what do you mean his grave? I thought your histories said he was given immortality by his mother."
He followed up after Roarke, Piper in tow.
"Noticable maybe. but, after all...if she gets that way over you becuase of your resemblance or somethign in relation to ton..I'd imagine to get that void filled she'd subconciously 'overlook' such differences."
Onyx smirked.
"I know that look. I used to have that look. it's the 'I'm going to go do somethign incredibly stupid or brash because I think it'll be fun' look. You want to go to Lostagrace becuase you're looking for either sex, or a fight. And I might as well tag along, since I still know what it's like to have emotion, and of course, how to manage a drunken brawl."

"No, he was offered immortality. He decided not to take it. Which grnated him an even higher favor, I might add." He shrugged. "Most of the Blackbowman line haven't really been bent on power." Up the stairs, into the main foyer, down the northern hallway.
"I won't rule out the possibility, but for now, I hold to the fact that she's to smart for it." Another shrug. "She isn't always a usless hunk of dragon meat."
"Fun yes. Sex no. I don't learn how to lie in less than an hour, Onyx." He chuckled. "You make is sound like cleaning out the bar is an occupation." he got up and stretched out his back. "I know how to fight. I just never felt like fighting before now." He stomped doown oone of his boots , making them snugger, and headed for the door.

Indeed in tow, letting Malik pull her along more or less by the hand she had hold of. Though she did smirk slightly and give a little chuckle. "You never were big on flashy flashy." She could recall a fight or two over her arrows...blazingly bright gold feathers on your arrows weren't always a good thing, but boy did she love them. Though she didn't add in her two cents on the dragon...after all, Malik said what she would of...sometimes ones overlook what's plainly there because they merely don't wish to see it...or can't fathom it, she knew that one.

"Trust me Moon, a fight of twenty to one can be considered a job, no matter how strong you are..then lets not forget the chairs, knives, bottles, handguns, brass knuckles, spiked brass knuckles, chains, and the occasional bullwhip and shotgun that get mixed into it."
A grin.
"But it will be interesting to see you fight for a change."
And he walked by Moon.
"Oh..and mom is hoping to have another visit soon..and bring dad."
"Odd for a human. even froma non power standpoint. think of all that you could learn in centuries. but then again...most that do want it lust for power. such as Lucan De'lere on my home plane. Or Miragul. Trakanon was different though. he was a dragon that had prphetic visions..he liched himself to try and make sure certina ones came to pass, and other's not. don't know how successful he was."
He followed behind Roarke, glancing occasioanlly at Eliot.
"Hell if you don't want a dragon, I'd be happy to take on her services. might help keep that damned Tarathiel in check easier."

"Odd indeed. But he fell in love. Becoming immortle would mean loosing her." He shrugged. "He chose to die with her instead." Down a few more hallways, up some stairs, down hasf a flight, across an indor coy pond. About half way down a particularily long corridor, Roarke held up a hand. "We'll have to stop here for a moment. i need to...disable a few light webs." he thought for a moment. "And a heat sheild. And a fear barriar..." He ticked more tihngs off his fingers. "this might take a minute." He stood there, but didn't look like he was doing much of anytihng. Besides starring at the ceiling and rocking on his heels.
A glance a Malik. "You do not want to mix yourself up with THAT dragon."
"You're trying to scare me, aren't you?" He smiled, held up a claw. "Sorry. not gonna work. In fact, it makes things better." He winked.
He paused a moment, just before stepping out the door of Triumverate Fortress, then continued. "Is that so?" So he had told Mother and Father...it shouldn't make any difference.

It really seemed like they were walking quite a lot...exactly how big was this place? Certinally a place one could go off and explore in an no doubt end up getting lost or somthing...maybe for more than a day. And that's provided one escaped the little traps here and there like the ones they had just been stopped for. Magi...they always looked like they were doing nothing when they were doing something..hard to tell if they were working or jsut procrastinating. But of course she had to smile at Ton's reason for not wanting immortality. "Well that being the reason, I belive it cancels out the odd part. Love can do many a strange thing to a man." Said of course with a slightly knowing little smirk. And then a full on look to the dark elf. "I doubt a dragon would keep Tarathiel at bay anyway...he seems too..." Eh, what was the word she wanted?

"Not tryign to scare you at all. just saying how much work a barfight can actually be if you plan to win and survive one. becuase it's not like the humans around you are going to fight eachother if there's things like us present. they'll gang up on you first."
he did notice the pause.
"Yes. dad wants to see us, and I think mom is still concerned for you. despite you having somehow gotten emotionally switched with me."
"Enjoy putting himself in dangerous situations just for the hell of it? yes he does. Carelessly so. he's got skill, and power. but he's way too overconfident. and one of these days it's going to kick him in the a**."
Though a glance at Roarke, waiting patiently. he was used to this sort of thing, especially from living in Neriak.
"I think I coudl handle Alaran. much easier than Tanundra, anyway. MY primary concern, of course is that all of us, you, myself, piper, your cousin...already have one very powerful enemy. the last thing we needed was potentially adding a dragon to that list."

Eliot's ears went down when Malik Smirked at her. I don't like you, you're very arrogant.
She gave a little wolf sigh, wondering what she was going to do, she really had no idea. It seemed it had been that way for a while now.
But she padded along following Roarke, Malik and Piper. She stopped when Roarke has stopped, but she felt no pressence of majic, if she was suppose to she didn't know, but it just felt like a regular hall way to her.
She walked up to Pipe and nosed her hand until it rested on her muzzle. Hello Piper! Pet me? She was an animal after all and did enjoy a good scratch.

Piper blinked and then looked down as she felt a wet poking nose and then soft fur, only to see her hand resting on Eliot's muzzle. So then, she did like to be pet like any other creature did she? Eliot was given a smile and those fingers took to scratching at the wolf's ears...she just oblidged anything that wanted to be pet, now didn't she? "Yes, it's nice to see you again too Eliot." Though a look to Malik for a moment. "Right, I think he would enjoy himself too much..." And eyes back to the wolf, letting her hand pet through fur.

Roarke rolled his eyes a moment, coutning off the various sheilds in his head. "and...that's the last one. Okay, lets continue." he waved a hand, continued on down the hallway. It ended in a circular room, with six doors. He shrugged. "Six doors...it's a magi thing I think." He scratched his head. "For some reason, we always need six doors." He opened the second from the right and went inside.
"Alaran has been dismissed before. She'll come back. I can't get rid of her." He smiled at Piper though. He always liked his ancestors. He was pretty sure he would have chosen the same thing
Inside the room were varios pedistals holding an assortment of different objects. Each doing soemtihng along the lines of glowing or humming or pulsing.
He shrugged. "People here aren't as hostile back home. Even in Lostagrace." He opened his wings and thrust up from the ground, launching himself into the sky.
"Mother has always been concerned." Annoyance? That one was odd. He smirked though. "A situation that we both seem better with."

"We used to think becuase there were six known schools of magic. necromancy, illusion, and then the four elements."
But he walked through the room, not touching anything, just looking.
"And what does all of this do?"
"You'd be surprised."
He spread out his wings and took after his twin, keeping morelle cradled in his hands. he knew annoyance when he heard it.
"You know. maybe I'll get lucky and you'll understand what it was like to resent father for the power he has that we'll never surpass. and for now, we both seem better. you haven't had a taste of the crippling side of emotion yet, and I still remember what it was like to feel and can use those memories to shadow the emotions."
a grin.
"We'll see who gets the better end of the deal in due time, I'll wager."

Eliot was frightened to come intot he room, it reminded her of the... lich they calle him. She came in evry close to the ground, almost unwilling to come through the door way, sniffing liek mad lookign for a scent of decay. But she couldn't pic anything up.
She walked around a little, trying to feel comfortable in the room, with those strane objects, but she couldn't, she wimpered a little. She Walked to Roarke and pressed herself against his legs. I'm frightened, somethign here bothers me.
Her head kept jurking around at any little noise, looking for something out of place.

Piper looked none too impressed with the room. For an elf, she never did seem to interested in magics, even in her own that she possessed. In fact she couldn't really bring up a time off hand that she used any while with Malik. Maybe once or twice, but rarely. Yeah, not big on magics. Though a sympathetic look to Eliot, seemed she wasn't too pleased about the room either. But her eyes did wander around a bit, looking at various things, though keeping her hands to herself. Though for a moment she studied at her red chainmail...hm...wonder what the toher Piper had done to it in the magic area.

"well, that one there," he pointed to a small glowing orb. "Creates and sustanes a light web. It gives little warning to intruders, causes most things to disintigrate. think of a kid with a magnifying glass, and an ant hill."
He turned around to a flat, greyish disk that was humming in a low chant like manner. "This one creates a fear shield. It takes whatever fear we might be feeling, and increases it until you have to turn around and head back. Great for attacking armies."
He pointed to a ruby that seemed to be beating like a heart. "Heat shield. This is uasually a wide perimiter defense. It tickles at first, then makes you sweat, and so on and son until things like clothing, hair and what not catch fire."
He pointed at a round shaped granite stone. "This guy is the heart of my stone lions. Only way to destroy them is to either crush them to bits, or destroy this stone. Handy little thing."
He pointed to a corner, which held a locked chest. "That over there holds magic constructs. Little bits of stone, or fabric, you know, war-type debris. They do things like freeze, burst into flame, throw shrapnle, when someone interacs with them." He folded his arm. "I have another room with non-magical defenses."
Roarke reached down and patted Eliot on the head. "Don't worry. I ahve complete control over everything here.
"Sure." Not such a long flight to Lostagrace, but it wasn't a short trip either. And not to mention his muscles were still weak from disuse. He was taking it easy with the flying, focusing mostly on hitting updrafts.
"Except I never had anytihng against Father or his powers to begin with." No, he still wasn't keen on power. Just fun.
"And I know how to look at a situation objectivly, without emotion clogging the mind." So there.

Eliot gave a long low wine. Still...
Just to make sure she got up, and circled the room sniffing. There were some interesting smells in the room, just by their direction she knew that Roarke had placed all of these Items himself. But other than that, he had been th eonly one in the room for a lon time. There were other smells, but they were to old and to faint to define, or to trust.
More satisfied she sat down once more.
