Tamriel

Zhavajango leaped from the portal, and quickly hopped onto Scylla's back. He aptter her lovingly, and she purred fiercely. "At a girl, we need to wait for the Emperor and the idiot....they should be here any second...." He glanced back to the portal, quickly wiping the tears from his eyes before the others could see. He had, reganrdless of what had all transpired, actually grown slightly attached to Selebus, and it was painful, now that he was inevitably gone. That pain though, was quickly replaced with a horrible feeling fo dread, as he then realized what Horus would no doubt do to his people, his family and friends, now that he had betrayed his mission to the Black Star Nation.

((Um, you do realize Jango had already placed Zhalavidra over his shoulder before he left?))
Zhavajango ignored their conversation, instead for some reason, fixated upon the unconscious woman over his shoulder. Something was weird inside him, he felt like, he had known her before, way back when, as if he had once been personally acquanted with her. Nevertheless, he brushed aside the feeling, and looked down to Ral with anger in his eyes "Dagon must not be called upon, under no circumstances!" He glared at the lizard, his eyes showing a hit of fear. "You really are quite a brash and hostile idiot.....you are going to get killed one day, and I will be the one to laugh about it!" He glanced to the Emperor "If you would allow me, I would greatly appreciate allowing me to reveal what is going on here.....not that it has really made much sense to me either, but I do know what the Black Star Nation is trying to accomplish with our worlds." He tugged Scylla's hide slightly, and she called out. Instantly, Charybdis emerged from the water, and a giant, spongey tongue stretched out from the enormous mouth. He leaped down onto it, and beckoned the others to follow "Please, She may be a product of IC Labs, but she only obeys me, and if I decide to have her protect you, she will do so. Lord Horus himself would have trouble with either one of them, hence why he does not follow. We can safely figure things out within her mouth. Do not worry, there is ample light inside, and it isn't as dank and horrid as you may initially think." He sat down and laid Zhalavidra gently beside him. He did not realize it, but he was stroking her soft, silky white hair, as if she was close to him

"Mmmm....uhhh, boys, please stop bickering....we are going to have to get along at least until this all is done....we haven't time to worry about Precepts and whatnot. Jango, I cannot allow it either, but please do not fret, I personally will speak up for you at your hearing, perhaps you may yet be able to redeem yourself at least enough to be able to visit again in the future, but, you must understand, though your reasons were noble and understandable, they still do not excuse your actions, and you must be held accountable. Besides, you never use to get so worked up over getting into trouble, why now are you so moody?" Zhaavidra has awoken, and she feeling a bit weak, having had most of her soul energy sucked out by Horus. She stood up, but fell into Zhavajango's arms "Nnnngggghhhh, sorry, guess he got me better than I thought....here, I can at least open a portal to Sky Ruler, and please, make sure our auras are not traceable" She held out her hand, and opened a portal "I know it's a bit much to ask, but could you please carry me, you know, piggyback like when we were kids?"

Zhavajango gazed at her questioningly as she fell into his arms then referred to their childhood, but then he suddenly remembered: he had known her, once, when they were very young. He use to play with her all the time, they use to train and hang out together. He remembered eating meals with her, and having food fights that would result in both of them geting reprimanded by their parents. He remembered the Dragonia ansd the Pterons getting along and being in good spirits. He also remembered giving Zhalavidra piggyback rides, and how she taught him how to swim after saving him from drowning in the stream they use to hang out at. As he began to recall all of this, his demeanor changed instantly, and he wondered how he could have forgotten it all, and why he all of a sudden was now remembering it. Nevertheless, he smiled at her, for the first time, with a gentle, caring sincere face "Yeah, no problem, Vidra" He picked her up, then turned to face the emperor, his face now much more wholesome, an air of respect about him "I understand, and I thank you for being so merciful, I suppose we better hurry, my people will hold their ground pretty well, as will the Dragonia, but Lord Horus will make quick work of them, and afterward, he will come for us. We do have a few options now that vidra and I both are in your midst" He turned and looked up at Scylla "Daddy has to go now, be a good girl and don't cause any more trouble. I want you to help clean up the messes we've caused, and if you catch the scent of Horus, I want you to eat him!" He nudged one of Charybdis's teeth with his foot "You too, be a good girl, and don't swallow up anything but pirate ships!" He stepped through the portal, Zhalavidra with him

Zhavajango stood waiting for the two, Zhalavidra playing with his feathery beard. Somehow, he was not phased anymore by the threats of being jailed, mainly because he knew that, if he was in fact jailed, it would not go over well with inter-realm diplomacy, as he was in line to be the Ruler of the Pterons, and 1/2 of the Voice and Guardian of Verus Pondera. And since he held much of the same sort of responsibilities as Zhalavidra and Martin did, both in dealing with Oblivion among other things. The methods were simply different, as he and Zhalavidra worked their dealings through the hidden power of their family Crests. Which was why now, he knew it was more important Martin did not die, as Lord Horus and Lady Brunhylda now held not only both Crests of Verus Pondera, but also the Marks from the Twin Realms. Martin was the only thing that stood in the way of Oblivion devouring all three realms. Henceforth, not only was it vital to now aid this cause, but he knew it would be neccessary for them to continue the established acquaintance with Tamriel and Verus Pondera. and then there was the Twin Realms. He didn't remember too much about them, except that once he had finished sustaining Tamriel's link with his world, he was to travel to Auro and Parluer in order to make the establishments there.
He looked to the door as he spotted the woman he had messed with before, and he made no effort to conceal himself as she approached his location

As they all entered, he let Zhalavidra down and went to the center of the chamber. He did what appeared to be a slightly ppromiscuous dance, and he began to glow with golden light, and then, with a loud squawk, the light filled the room, then was gone. He wobbled over to the others, and plopped down next to Zhalavidra, a frown on his face "I hope you know what you're getting yourself into, the lure of power is great, but don't get too cocky or it will swallow you up!" He didn't look at anyone, and instead gazed at Zhalavidra's tail, which was swaying slightly "I guess now, if we are to make proper plans, first I need to enlighten you all as to what is going on. As you all already know by now, I am Zhavajango Zhedediah Zhuviel Zhwien, Crown Prince of the Pterons, The Male Guardian of Verus Pondera. The Dragonia and my people have kept the realm under control form thousands of years, and have thrived by establishing diplomacy and good trade with both the Twin Realms and Tamriel. Unfortunately, and strangely, I do not recall any information as to how it came to be this way, at some point in time, our two peoples became sword enemies, and it seems as though our memories of our younger days of peace were locked away. In any case, each of us owns a Family Crest, the two of which can be used to open a large portal to Oblivion that could swallow the entire realm up. Our ancestors countered this, however, by the establishments with the Emperor of Tamriel as well as the High Queen and King of Parluer and Auro. I am not sure what went on, but the Family Seals had their power somehow weakened." He turned to Zhalavidra expectantly  

[Dina Ahnthros]

Zhalavidra's memories had been returning with force as they had traveled here, and she wasn't sure why, but she felt strangely different about the Pteron Prince than she did before. She somehow knew exactly all he was speaking of, and knew she needed to put her bit in as well. "Yes, I will be honest, for once, he speaks the truth. I am Zhalavidra Zherelia Zhouma Zhunies, Crown Princess of the Dragonia, The Female Guardian of Verus Pondera. I became acquainted with Ral-Jikem during my dealings with the War in the Twin Realms a year ago, and I had come to Tamriel recently to begin my establishments, as I was to ascend the throne as soon as I had done so. But, it seems that the same villains who have decimated much of this realm have also been using us to their advantage. Judging by how our memories seem to have been altered, and how our people seem to somehow become sword enemies, I would say sinister forces were trying to pit us against each other for some devious purposes. In any case, they seem to have done what they set out to do, they have both of our Family Crests, and worse, they have my other and Jango's father, though for what purpose I am not sure. With our Crests, they can open Oblivion in our world, and from there it is merely a means of transport to get the evils they would release to this realm as ell, whether or not His Majesty is still in power." She looked to Zhavajango questioningly "Now, it seems you had been working for this group up until now, and I am curious as to what they are after, as well as why you would decide to stop aiding them and instead fight"  

[Tee the Wicked]

Zhavajango nodded "Yes, but while that works for Tamriel, and perhaps the Twin Realms as well, the same rules do not apply in Verus Pondera. Our Family Crests are all that are needed to open any number of gates, and using those, a pact with Dagon could be made if the proper things are done.. I do not know much about their plan, but, I shall tell you all that I know" He drew a breath, redying himself for a long explanation "The Large six-armed demon you saw before was Lord Horus, and the woman, his sister, was Lady Brunhylda. They are two of the Elite Leaders of an organization known as the Black Star Nation. They are a shady bunch, bent on total and eternal Chaos, and they will use any and all means neccessary to achieve their goal in all realms. And in our three realms, Lord Horus and Lady Brunhylda have been left in charge of utilizing Oblivion, to draw from it, and harness it's powers to establish complete chaos to the point of utter destruction and Nothingness. I don't know all of the details, since the little bit I gathered was while eavesdropping on their previous man in charge, but, from what I understand, they have had their Specialist researching Oblivion and our realms for many years now, and they have developed a way to harness the power of Oblivion without any sort of connections or pacts to the daedric Princes or Dagon himself. Whether or not it may work, it would be in the best interest of people not to allow them to even try." He took a breather, playing with his tail feathers "I have discovered, due to Lord Horus's ignorance, that the whole dispute between the Dragonia and my people was part of the scheme hatched up by the BSN, in order to obtain our Family Crests. And then, they sent me to Tamriel, to retrieve vidra's Crest and assassinate His Majesty. Of course, I was a bit irritable about going to a place I had only visited when I was a kid, but, my father insisted that the future of the entire Tribe was depending on it, and I was introduced to the previous man in charge, a guy called Chainz. I believe you met him when we had a run-in the other day, Miss. Anyway, he was there with the leader of the BSN, some woman by the name of Lady Gamaru, and though I was not given the reasons why, I was told that we had to do what they told us or our tribe would be wiped out of existence. Now I love my family, and my tribe, and I would glady have given my life, and even my dignity, my honor, to protect them all. Which is why I came here, and did all I did. I have no regrets, and if you dislike me for it, so be it. I do not need sympathy, or pity, as I made the choice myself. But put yourself in my position, perhaps if his Majesty had been given the choice of going to another world and decimating it, or having his entire empire completely wiped out for good. Would you not protect your Empire, even if it means you possibly becoming a villain to the peoples of the other world? It was a difficult choice, but I followed my heart, and I am glad I did. In the end, it somewhat may prove to be their downfall in their missions here. Because, they decided to give me the Charybdis and Scylla seeds, creations from their Laboratories, and they wanted Me to use them to wreak havoc here and try to kill you. but, I don't think they realized, these two beasts have souls, and they love me like their father. They follow my lead, and if I have them fight for the good of Tamriel, it will prove to be a very difficult opponent for even the Elite of the BSN." He stood up, still feeling a bit drained from the Aura Filter "Anyway, all of that said and done, I wish to make a request directly to His Majesty" He knelt before Martin, his head bowed "I know I am in no position to ask this, but, if you would, please, allow myself, and my pets, to aid you. Perhaps we can redeem our lost honor and dignity, and if I am doomed to be a wanted man, never return to Tamriel again, so be it, but I still wish to aid you. My Father would have wanted it."
