Welcome to Gaia! ::

Micon laughed abit looking to Jack. "No my brother did away with that years ago." He looked back to the Zypher. "You see what Jack says is that the man there Set is where Jack should have been. The green cord around there wrists means they are bound together by something. Ashar was.. he was overly confindent to dare a stunt like that." Meaning haveing the painting done anyway.

Dialh blushed slightly her green eyes looking away trying to think about Steel. "I think he was to young for his station but it was inheirted from his father." She shook her head slightly. "He saw it as a game really, thats what i rembmer really."

Katherine was silent a moment. "I don't know either one of them very well. Jack listens to me for whatever reason. Mostly he doesn't tell me." She was silent a long time and then looked back to Paradox. "Dialh told me what you said."

"I don't believe thats quite true. I think your much more than what you said." She spoke then dropped it going on with the conversation at hand. "I don't really know what you mean."

"Aye, the two of us young knights working for protecting those we care for. He at one point wanted to protect like I do now the two of us were good friends back then. His workmanship with a spear was stunning he didn't only use the blade on his weapon but that whole spear was like an extension of himself. Before that he started to speak of the queen being a threat one day killing us all.

He thought in order to save the kingdom he would kill the queen. Before then he was honorable kind everything I wished to be like. A mere fighter off the streets for doing a good deed to the family got me my position. But he was born into it. Sure he was young but I think it was only him being young that made him make that foolish mistake. That is why I hold him as a comerade and a friend in my memory. I see now what he was thinking and believe it was only inexperience in life that caused it." Allen said.

He knows that somehow Steel must've figured out the queen's identity as a weapon of the gods. He made a desicion for the kingdom which was admirable but he can't be the one to decide such. Allen gave his oath of prtection to protect the queen and kingdom for those comerades before him. No matter what came at him Allen was to gaurd what was dear to those knights and soldiers.

Zypher nodded to Micon and listened to the two go on a bit. Ashar wasn't on the best terms with the lady... Kit was it?" Zypher replied thinking for a moment.

"Not at first." Micon spoke looking to Jack then back. "Ashar loved himself more than most anything, but Kit looked to much like him." He looked back to Jack. "and, what was it Ashar said when I was small? I think it was 'She is so imperfect in her perfection that she attracts darkness?' it was something like that. When she killed them she changed the world. Mortals are not pawns anymore."

Dialh looked confused a moment she didn't know about the Queen herself She didn't ask though. "You know Katherine never hunted him, never had him killed he was exiled only. Thats when we went to our country estates. I hated Steel for it." Dialh spoke not looking back to him.

Katherine shook her head slightly. "You are good, you are skilled at what you do and might even be skilled at death but you are good at heart." She smiled. "I know that you are more than that. Even if you yourself can't relize that."

Tapping that cane gently upon the floor, Jack's gloved hand would lift, a finger coming to land gently upon his cheek. "Well. I am not so sure about that, Micon. As you are all my pawns, more so during some events than others."

Serenity smiled back at the grin. A smile that could melt ice with it's innocence. It was the face of such perfect innocence that something just seemed wrong. "That's good to hear. as long as you don't meddle in my meddling until it's too late, I am content." Her eyelashes fluttered together in response to the realistic illusion.

The bodyguard watched, but a simple smile had creeped onto his own mouth, amused with the world he saw, and eispeically these creatures before him.

(edit for Llyrlands edit)
Paradox helplessly shook his head. "I may be good at some things, but there all the wrong things. I wish there was someday when I could finnally give up this lifestyle, but I know that I can't." Paradox told her with the sound of defeat. It was a never ending curse, his life, and one he would have to live through to the very end.

For s split moment when Jack spoke there was tension and rage but it quickly seemed to disolve. His attention went back to Zypher. "Demons were different them Tesla was there home then as well and mortals slaves.. I warned you that times were different then though." He didn't say anything back to Jack though he very much wanted to.

Dialh shook her head slightly. "You did what was right. what you were ment to do the fault wasn't yours. As luck would have it I still found myself here at court. Her majesty won't send me away she needs me to much. Even when i disgraced her she didn't send me away." She spoke looking down for a moment.

((edited as well lol))
"You can be whatever you wish." She gave a sweet smile to him. "You are my dearest friend you know that well enough. I don't like it that this is bothering you. I don't like it when things bother you at all." In truth it made her feel uneasy, well most things made her feel uneasy since betrayle was stocking her like .. She shook away the thought of her mother wondering what Sekain would find.

"That's right, Grandpa never liked talking about his days as a slave but the other elders talk amoungst themselves about the times of slavery. Granadpa helped lead our clan to thier freedom. This is kept a secret from those who didn't live then for the fear of anger causing another uneeded war. We are strong our clan, but the elders remember that war all to well causing them to stay away from it. As a token of appreciation to the king for allowing freedom to our people we gave all we had at the moment..... A chance to continue to use our stregnth in battle. But instead we were to be paid and allowed to come and go as we please. That is why staying hidden in human form was so important to the elders. They were afraid of slavery taking over again once people realized our true identy. That we may be hunted down and forced to serve again, or go back into war in order to prevent it." Tempest said walking in on the conversation.
"Tempest, elder in training. Pleasure to meet ya mr. Micon." Tempest said waving at the tall man.

"So that is why they exiled me. If I were to become a slave again I won't be able to lead others to the village. Those old fools have been locked up for so long they don't realize though we still aren't liked much slavery is done." Zypher said with a shrug. Not knowing if there was moreto the story or not.

Allen laughed a bit. It wasn't his whole hearted laugh he usually belts out but a calm chuckle.
"Ironic, this day is full of sadness and discouraging attitudes. I myself am to blame for such negativity. But we fought to see another tommorow. The queen will never get rid of those close to her no matter how many time they disgrce or discourage her. My mistakes would have kicked me out long ago for my mistakes. Now then how about some food or something? A drink perhaps.... Anything we can do to try and take our minds off these thoughts before we sleep." Allen said trying to cheer Dialh up.
