"Well, do you beilieve in giving strangers powerful items for free? It's simply a precation. Give up sometihng you've always hated, if you wish. Ton and I gave up much to be able to fight our foes, and we have learned to live without what we gave up" Eca sighed. "I understand it's difficult to decide what to give up. My children gave up their eyesight, because it hurt them too much toi see their loved ones dying."
She sighed. "It could be something as simple as that bandana you carry, Piper."

"Gods have no need for mortal things, they just want them. to give anything reguarding my feelings or the color of my skin would make me, no longer me. my armor, is a reminder of what I am, if not who I am. and Malvolence..that blade and I are not seperating for good anytime soon."
He shook his head lightly.
"There's nothing in my present posession I will give up for a blessing on a weapon. and I don't have the time to go running back home to find an item to bring back. and I am not going to have piper give somethign up for this weapon that she won't be using."
Okay now he was getting agitated, and pacing.
"without hate, or anger, there's no driving force to fight, and you are weak, lacking hte passion for violence. without love or joy, you have nothing to fight for, and that's as bad as not having the anger to face an enemy. I need both sight and hearing. I need to feel. MAlvolence is out of the question. I have really only the clothes on my back and the weapon I'm seeking to get blessed with me. the color of my skin marks me as Tier'Dal. just as ebony marks teh Drow here. the scar I bear is my reminder of my arrogance, and what arrogance can cost."
He stopped for a moment. quiet, still. before he glanced at Ton.
"Tell me. will the force granted the blade, balance to what is given in exchange?"
This is not too much too fast...this is painful. he legs had spread out, front and bakc and he head lowered, snorting and geting very irrate. the pain woudln't go away. and it was getting worse..then it stopped..then it got bad again..over and over, adn she couldn't move lest movign make her hurt worse. lay down. laying down is good. take a nap, cure for upset tummies. so that's what she did, slowly, trying to lay down on her belly. nad somethign kicked when she tried that. not allowed to do that.
SO over on her side. how embarassing. her teats all exposed. Go away. bad pain. Get back here don't you leave me!

Eca and Ton watched Malik pace and ponder. And really, they seemed to be smiling slightly. They too, had thought of such things before giving up what needed to be given up. Ton spoke, and Eca answered.
"The Earth Mother does not make such destinctions as the worth of what is given to her, and the power of her blessing. She will give the sword the same blessing whether you give her soemthing powerful, or something simple. The blessing that wil be strong enough to help you fight this lich."

Piper held up a finger and had about to say something or perhaps suggest she had something to give up but them Malik's pacing and the like stopped her from saying anything and she merely lowered her hand, letting it grip at her collar instead of being up in protest. But if Gods could take the very things such as emotions...she had a few she could live without that was for sure...perhaps a certain self concious aspect that was present there, or a fear born of an old friend turned enemy. Or better yet, something that was a flaw in elves...the ability to not forget. Perhaps they could take that very memory of Kaden. "Malik...I may not be using it...but it is being used to protect my home...and to protect you. And you'll be using it...you're a part of me so in essence...I'm using the blade too." Wasn't she supposed to stay quiet? "You don't have to be the one to give something up..."
He would of laughed if he hadn't been so worried. But he was worried and a worried Serino made for a fidgety Serino. Hoof pawing at the air just above the ground, giving quite the concerned nicker to her before stepping close and nuzzling at her ears. It hurts that bad does it? Well...maybe it's time? We both are not so normal horses...makes a bit of sense. Do I need to go fetch someone?

"No, Piper. you've already given a sacrifice for our home. you gave up your wanderlust, so that is can be a home. this sacrifice is mine to make. and I have my choice made already."
The Master Leash. he may be able to make another one, but it was an exstensive, and costly process of binding all the collars to it, the mysticisms of it's imbuing..and really, it might be able to be recreated here.
"I'll hand over the absolute control of my House, for a way to protect it, if this woudl be acceptable. if not...I have something else."
You keep your windborn a** right where I can see you! this is all your fault, your goign to stay right here, no running around anywhere else! a loud neigh and a snort, rearing her head hard enough to toss hay about and nearly bang it againt the stall. oh look. water. At this point, about a hundred equine curses and obscenities came out of Nightmare, as pain and muscle contractions started to try and make her push down on what was inside her.

Ton and Eca looked at each other, slightly concerned. "Think hard, Malik, on what you wish to give up. This...control....will do the same as whatever else it is that you have lined up. You must make your own choice. Which is more important, which might leave you stripped of who you are. You have already expressed how much you do not wich for the latter to happen."
"Make a choice."

The absolute control over his house? He held control by collars and...he was going to give that up? Well that shut her up and only made her tilt her head to the side slightly, blinking at him, gold in her eyes reflecting sickingly filtering down sunlight. Now she wasn't about to ask 'are you sure' because his answer would be the same no matter what it was. Then again...she had shown him that he didn't need the collars. But she was worried all the same. "Are you sure Malik?" Because if he gave up that immense control...how would he himself act? Malik after all had an accute paranoia...not to mention that to make up for his lack of control he would have to force fear through himself and not the collars. Made for a mean abusive Malik in her mind.
He lowered his head as well as his ears. Yes dear, staying put, not going anywhere. Though he wanted to argue. His fault? She's the one who chased him down and talked him into it! Not that it was bad...but still, it was the principal! But let's not mention that to her, shall we? And in fidgety style he tried to think of something positive. Well...they're half Zephyr...Zephyrs aren't as hard as normal foals to deliver. And he gave her a little nuzzle under her chin. Really though, what else could he do?

Kat was crawlign the mansion, looking for moonstone. She had not bothered him in some time and she thought that well.. he was due for some.
She found him, in the kitchen and quite alone. She smiled, he was always more iratible when his brother was not around. She came up behind him and ran a finger down between his shoulder blades, between his wings. She hoped to get horrible reatcion, she had yet to try and touch him.
Eliot sat beside Warren, she watched his eyes flicker with out ever really opening. She wondered what he was dreamign about.

Moonstone had been lounging...until he felt sometihng run down that spot between his shoulder blades....and dman it. He still had Onyx's emtions....and apparently Onyx's hot spots too. He arched his back and his wings flared out, but while the initial shock was something of a turn on, it quickly smoldered into anger. Who the hell would do something like that to him? Being of paladin mind, that was just utterly wrong. He was out of his chair so fast that is screeched and fell over, Kat was pinned tot he floor by her shoulders, and his fangers were bared in a terrible growl. His eyes seemed to glow.
"Do that again, and I'll cut your throat." Whoa.
Warren was still in the Corn Feilds. reliving his torture, his death, thinking it was real every time....

Kat lay flat on her back with her eyes wide. Well she had gotten the reaction she wanted hadn't she? The strange part was Kat could feel thats she was scared, she knew it, she could feel her arms shakign with it. But at the same time... she quite enjoyed the feeling. She was breathing hard.
She gulped, "I thought you would have heard m ecoming." A quick glance to his ears, yes she did think he would have known. "Besides... doing that to people makes them shiver involentarily and most enjoy the feeling..." She was pretty much pleading. But she tried to keep her face cool, her breath under control, and her eyes indiferent.
Although she was pretty sure she didn't achieve that whatsoever.
Eliot came into the Oracles house, two rabbits in her hands. It had been all she was able to find in 5 hours of hunting. She sighed, the food here was so scarce...
Setting them on the table and knowing that the rest of the people livign at the keep where not wolves, she began to skin them, keeping the furs intact and clean, intending to make some warm slippers for the Oracle later that ngiht. She gutting the rabbits and took out the bones. She left the meat in a covered dish, takign only a couple of raw pieces for herself. The Oracle liked to cook after all, or at least she thought she did. There was almost always soamethign cooking in the cats iron pot and Eliot thought that the least she could do for the Oracle's hospitality was keep meat in that pot. Thinking to return to Warren's bedside she turned to find the woman in the door way... Aella she believed her name was.
"Hallo." She said as chearfully as she could. She was not sure why but... goign aroudn with dark spirits never helped anybody did it?

Moonstone grwoled all the more. He had been deep in thought when she had...botherd him. "What makes you think you have the right to touch me like that?That is soemthing reserved for a loved one, an intimate act of affection, not some pervers joy of watching me suffer!" His eyes smoldered, not convinced in the least by her little attitude supressions. God damn it, was she enjoying this?!
He Pushed off her, annoyed, angry, and hurt, and stalcked off. "How about you learn some freakin' boundaries?"
Aella watched the young wolf girl, somewhat interested. "Hi."
"Gotta thank you for hunting like that. It's hard to get a hold of meat around here, although we have taken a licking to rock spider. Watch out for them, they're poisoness." She picked up her staff and approach her. "I'm Aella Whirlwind."

Kat took her time getting up but promptly followed Moosntone. In her head she had not watched him suffer, but had given him a breif moment of pleasure. And wasn't that a good thing? "But didn't you like it?" She said this almost confusingly. "And maybe you need to learn to freakin' open up a little." She boucned a little, making her voice sound haughty.
Eliot Smiled. "I am Eliot... um.. just Eliot, the rest if my name would be defined by smell." She bowed alittle in Aella's Direction. "Well it's the least I can do, impossing on the Oracle and all." She looked to the mean and back, coughed a litt into her hand. " I had thought about the spiders... but I don't kow how to hunt them.." She was a little embarrased at that, she thought that has a huntress she should have been able to hunt anything.

"There is a big difference from mentally likeing something, and physically likeing sometihng. If the mental isn' there, than the physical is a violation. I will not stand for that." He turned around, shoved a claw in her face. "Get this into your head. I have boundaries. And you had better respect those bondaries, or so help me, I will NOT be a gental kitty. Got it?"
"It's very much appreciated, by everyone here. And don't worry about the spiders, they are not easy to kill. I won't touch them myself." Okay, so she was kinda liking this girl. She could get along with girls...they didn't threaten her. "So Eliot, tell me, waht has you mixed up with the half-elf wizzard?"

Malik looked at teh glove. the symbol of his authority in his home. without it, as piper though, he woudl have to make them fear him, not the leash. and he looked at Piper, and back to Ton.
"The onyl thing I have to give is the gift Innoruuk granted me, to be ressurected after every death I migth suffer. A defining characteristic to be a chosen of his. But Innoruuk's influence is weak here at best. I will trade that. trade the gift of one god for a gift from another."
Nightmare was snorting and pawing at the air now. Easy!? you think it's easy, then YOU trying giving birth! Loud neighing and snorting and more contractions, pushing and she was sweating now, if she had hair for mane and tail they'd be drenched like the rest of her. where's the wood elf when you NEED her! see her for weeks on end..adn then the one time you need her, she's off galavanting with that damned drow!

Eca nodded. "So be it, then." She seemed rather pleased with the choice. It had beens oemthign they used...trading gifts....
Ton, making eye contact with Malik, reached out and slid his arm through the drow's chest. It didn't hurt, felt no more odd than when he had stepped right into Malik, but this time when he withdrew his hand, he carried something with it. It was long and silver, snacked around Ton's hand like quicksilver. He smiled, and stepped out of the world of the living again.
Eca stepped out of Piper's body, words no longer being needed. Adn held out her hands, indicating that she wanted the sword now.
