She passed a look between Malik and Onyx then and shook her head. "Really...he didn't say anything to be worried about, just talking trash and all because his ego's a little bruised." Piper gave a tug at her collar...great now they both were suspicious about her last confrontation with Terran. So she quickly turned to changing the subject, smiling at them both and putting on that look of mischief. "Well if you two do end up chained together, once you're done beating the snot out of everyone else, you think you could refrain from then flinging each other around? I don't have the energy for that."

A glance between Malik and Onyx. Malik shrugged and Onyx chuckled lightly.
"Really now. you think I would even be able to fling around Onyx..not to mention his wings once he's airborne woudl be an issue."
Then a small grin to her, and a pat on her thigh.
"you don't have anything to worry about that with. besides, there will be plenty of that I'm sure in the final event."
Onyx shook his head.
"I'm not even about to attempt to throw him when he's got that thing in his hand. next thing I would know I'd be missing bodyparts, like the hand that's chained to him. and he's right, plenty of that in the finals. so far if Moonstone can win this, it takes the lowest guard out of main competition becuase he's lost in everything so far, even agaisnt his fellow men. which will leave how many Malik?"
"Two guards, two peasants, me you and Moonstone. Since moonstone isn't competeing in anything else, that brings him in seventh by default. this is basically that guards last chance to get a shot into the final event and get some kind of placing. Me and you are top two, guard in third, both peasants and the guard you in essence castrated in sixth."

She stuck out her tongue. "Organized combat." Giving them both a smile she went to brief contemplating. She was quite please with the way this was all going. Frankly Piper had feared that the past would bring up things she would rather not bring up. But Malik was behaving himself, Onyx was behaving himself and she was happy with that. "At least you two know the possibilities of trying to maim each other. Her attention diverted a moment as a breeze of wind stirred her hair briefly, but easily enough turned it back to the three in her company. "So then, it will come down to you two simply because everyone else has to cheat and let's face it, they're too cocky for their own good."

Onyx nodded.
"That is unless one of us actually loses in the final competition to someone other than eachother. which is still a possibility simply because they are cheating. Only takes them getting lucky once on that cheating to do some damage, as they showed with Malik."
"Quite. if it hadn't been for you getting the cure and Bode doing her best to keep me as cared for as possible I very well could have been killed or seriously maimed enough not to be able to compete further. but now they are going to learn that you don't piss a Tier'dal off. or his fiance'. because now that I get to let loose, I'm going to make sure at least one of them doesn't leave here alive."
A glance over at Piper and a small smile.
"And I have her permission to do so. long as I leave one for her to maim."

"Let's hope they have bad luck again. And do your best to avoid getting poisoned...you wont' like the taste of the cure. Believe me, we know...Malik more so but still." Though her happy look did fall a little as they talked about the incident. She didn't particularly like to be reminded that she almost lost her fiance'. But she crossed her arms then and nodded. "Actually..." A look up to where the king was sitting, "I'd rather have a piece of him." Piper squinted one eye as if she was lining particular sights. "You know...from here I could peg him right between the eyes..."

Onyx looked up at where Piper was squinting, and grinned lightly.
"I'd say shoot...but me and moonstone met him before. he's cowardly, but not overly stupid. I wouldn't doubt he's got magical barriers or the like all over his seat up there to protect him for that kind of thing. he was really rather..nervous when he met me and Moon. like he was expecting us to just try and rip him apart any second."
"You should have. save us the trouble we got into and probably save all the enslaved races here. the half elves in particular. humans deserve slavery. without someone controlling them they become like rats, infsting and ruining nearly everything that they come across."
Had a high opinion of humanity, didn't he.
"And if you think you can hit him Piper I'd say try it. at leat it'll give him a fair warning not to go tampering with things like giving his guards poisons to compete with."

There he went again with his human bashing. They weren't all bad...but easily seen in this world, they could be quite the nasty little buggers. "Onyx is probably right, I mean if I were him I wouldn't be sitting in the open like that with no protection. And I don't need to have an arrow bounce off a barrier and thus get myself into a situation...I'm sure he would send his guards to their deaths to get hold of me and of course they have to go through you to do that. And you don't need that stress right now." She drew in a breath, held it for a moment then let it out and rolled her shoulders back. "Besides...I'm starting to feel repercussions from my own event."

"Which event?"
A grin from Malik, and a rolling of the eyes from Onyx, though he proceeded to make himself very occupied with entertaining Bode and her arrow, and malik slipped off his gauntlets, and rubbed her shoulders, trying to ease her muscles.
"Adn your probably right. wouldn''t want to send several dozen humans to thier deaths because we underestimated the obvious fact that anyone wouldn''t be sitting in the open like that without protection. especially after insisting his guard''s cheat."

"Which event...probably a little bite of both. But no need to stroke your ego at the moment." Though she did give a contented sigh and a soft moan as he took to her shoulders. Lord that felt good. "...Exactly, I mean really...no can be that stupid, right?" Then again Malik could probably argue that point and not only argue it well but then also provide her with vivid long winded examples. Of course that made her laugh as she thought about it. But another sigh, letting her eyes close. "And come to think on it, that wasn't an event. It was my prize for winning."

Malik grinned lightly.
"and my prize for winning I hope will be just as good. and maybe a bonus prize of maiming a certain elf as well."
His massage worked deeper into her shoulders, sliding his arms around and lifting off her chainmail, didn't want to rub rings into her skin, just leaving her in the leather.
"what have you learned so far of what you were seeking? anything of note?"

She just gave that cute evil grin she got sometimes. "Perhaps...though that all depends on how banged up and sore we both are before the day is out...of course I can work that to my advantage as well." Yes, she was just as bad as him when she wanted to be. Wait...he just got her chainmail off...ah oh well, felt good. But did he have to talk of Terran? She was trying to get all worked up about him. But if she didn't tell him something then he would only get worried. "Not really...just a lot of talk of bridges. He's being evasive in his answers and I may just have to beat him down to get what I want...heru tanya quel."

Bode pretended to get stabbed, the arrow head clutched loosly in her fist nad held to her chest. She made gagging noises, stuck out her tongue, and fell backwards into her brother. She couldn't hold that pose for long though, as shejumped up giggling. "I'm alive again!" She screamed.
Moonstone joined the group, his event long over and ended easily. The man had practically shook himslef out of his boots. He caught some of the tail end of the conversation. "Mother was human. From her stories, at least at one time, you felt that she needed to be contoled, Malik. Although I dare say that you didn't try very hard." Insults even rometly directed at either one of his parents usually got Moon defensive.
The Oracle smiled, slowly blinked her blind eyes. "Ah, run home then to your earth and gravestones. There is no furture for one who's time has stopped." Tanundra placed a hand on her shoulder, a warning. This time she headed it, and allowed him to steer her away, back into the depths of Lostagrace.
He turned his head and let one eye watch the dead man, wary and suspicious.

She couldn't believe she had been reduced to this. Given this work...forced to do this work. Aella stood on the banks of Deep Water, waiting in the cool mist. Despite the cold, she was sweating under layers upon layers of combersome pettiecoats. She slapped at the annoying folds, trying to flatten them down a bit, to no avail. Concubines were not supposed to be so noticable as concubines. After all, the puplic did not know that King Dimitri would have a harem.
Why was she given such work? Why was she reduced to this? Had her small protests agains slavery reached the ears of somone important? One of the other girls probably ratted her out. A place of deception and greed, the harem was. Was this then, a sort of cruel punishment?
She waited on the banks, mud seeping in aorund her shoes, squelching when she moved. They had been late by two hours already, by the time the little boat was visible on the hoizon. It was wide and squate, and painted a dark blue to be less noticable. No one could see them comeing. The boat did not dock nearby, but rather steered for shore, allowing it's keel to catch the sand, stop it gently right on the shore line. A man, dressed all in balck and his face covered, was first to come out. He siad nothing, but Aella knew what he wanted. She took out a purse from underneath her pettiecoats and handed it to him. He bounced it in his palm a moment, then nodded.
He left, and in his place ten half-elves and one full blooded dwarf were hearded out. They stood on the shore, with nothing but scraps of cloth to cover themselves, and the boat left as silently as it had come. Aella turned and began to find her way back to the castle. She swallowed.
"I'm sorry," she could not look them in the face.
They said nothing, the dwarf sneered at her. the only sound was the slight rattling of chains.

Malik glanced at Moonstone, and shook his head lightly.
"You misunderstood. I wanted the conduit..and she is a conduit, not a human..to further my own power. By controlling her, I coudl access her power. but to do that, she would need to be willing to give it to me. forcing the issue coudl get myself killed. and Innoruuk might not bring me back from such a foolish mistake as to underestimate the power laden in such beings."
He kept his hands on Piper's shoulders, massaging her while he talked.
Onyx crossed his arms, snorting lightly and not saying a word, turnign his attention to Bode and petting over her, and taking her arrow away nadbatting her with the feathered end.

Moonstone shrugged. "At one point, Mother no longer thought of herself as a conduit." He rolled a shoulder, loosening it up a bit. "it became increasingly difficult for those around her to see her as such as well."
Bode yelled when the arrow was taken away, but all in good fun. She tried to grab the arrow and take it back, but of course her Gaurdian Brother wasn't about to do such a thing. "Give it back!" Sghe shouted with a crocked little smile. "Daddy's a human, Mommy's a condet. I'm a...a...a conduman!"
